"Last time you told me that it might have something to do with Buddhism. After I left, I spent a few days squatting at several Buddhist sites in the Brahma Dynasty in Wanxing City." He said, gently swiping his fingers on the table and clicking on several locations.
"The people from the three major Buddhist sects appear normal on the surface, as if they are here to watch a ceremony, but secretly they do a lot of things. Following the clues, I really found a point."
He paused and looked up at Qin Tiexin.
"Jialan City."
Qin Tiexin has really heard of this city.
That is the border town closest to the Great Brahma Dynasty and Myriad Stars Dynasty. In recent days, there has been constant friction between the two sides, and the quarrel in the court is about things over there.
"I first found a lone monk Great Brahma Dynasty, took care of him, assumed his identity, and infiltrated Jialan City." Chen Xi said in a calm tone.
"I moved up one level at a time. I changed to a deacon, then to a hall master, and finally I got in the face of a high-level Buddhist cultivator, and then I got something real."
He said it lightly, but Qin Tiexin could hear the danger here.
He had seen his senior brother's ability to change his appearance. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be hard to believe that someone could change his identity so cleanly.
But no matter how clean it is, it is still entering someone else's territory alone.
Jialan City is an important border town where Buddhist cultivators gather. If you are not careful, you will be doomed.
"Brother, what did you find?" he asked.
Chen Xi leaned back and the back of the chair creaked. He seemed to be organizing the words in his mind before speaking, his tone was unhurried.
"I'll walk you through the whole thing from the beginning."
He held out a finger.
"You should have heard, Myriad Stars Dynasty Chen Household, there is a constitution passed down from generation to generation, called Star Physique."
Qin Tiexin nodded. Not only had he heard of it, he had also fought against Chen Chen.
"Chen Household relies on this physique to produce high-level monks from generation to generation. In addition to Spiritual Qi, he can also rely on a star stone left by the founding monarch to refine Power of the Stars. Together with the supporting Cultivation Method, martial arts, and Pill Formula, he can cultivate all the way to Nascent Soul Late Stage."
"This is the root of Chen Household's rule over Myriad Stars Dynasty for hundreds of years, and the reason why Chen Household continues to thrive from generation to generation."
Qin Tiexin nodded. He had heard this from Su Qing and had it confirmed by others.
Chen Xi stretched out another finger.
"But what you don't know is that Great Brahma Dynasty hates this very much."
"The 'holy war' between the three major sects has been going on for hundreds of years. Great Brahma Dynasty has been unable to integrate its national power at all. The Spirit Vein areas near the border have been occupied by the Myriad Stars Dynasty, and the national power is weakening day by day."
"In addition, the environment here in Myriad Stars is more tolerant and open. In order to escape internal strife and war, many monks moved to Myriad Stars to establish sects. As a result, Great Brahma was annexed by Myriad Stars sooner or later."
"But just two years ago, Great Brahma played a great role."
Qin Tiexin's eyes narrowed, knowing that the key was coming. These changes in the Myriad Stars Dynasty must be related to this "powerful character".
"Holy Buddha Son."
When these three words were read out, Chen Xi's tone was very calm, but his eyes darkened, as if he still attached some importance and fear to this name.
"He is extremely talented. He suppressed the internal fighting among the three major Buddhist sects for hundreds of years right after he was born. The three sects stopped fighting and listened to his orders." Chen Xi said, "This man's vision is beyond Great Brahma. After mediating the civil strife, he turned around and reached out to Myriad Stars."
He stretched out his third finger and tapped it on the table.
"He got a Secret Method."
Qin Tiexin sat up straight and leaned forward.
"This Secret Method specializes in bloodline inheritance." Chen Xi said, lowering his voice by half a minute. "I didn't find out the specific details, but I roughly know that Elder Gu's Devil Artifact with Buddha nature is used as an introduction, which is what you call 'Buddha and Demon One', and then the blood of Chen Household's direct line is used to cast the spell."
"This kind of spell is extremely demanding to cast and consumes a lot of resources, but the effect is surprisingly good."
"There is no need for direct contact at all. Once the curse is completed, it will automatically pursue the royal bloodline and eat the Power of the Stars in their bodies."
"Emperors, princes, princes, princesses, anyone with the surname Chen cannot escape. The purer the bloodline, the deeper the attack."
Qin Tiexin's pupils shrank.
It felt like something clicked shut in my head.
Those scattered fragments, the Buddhist breath mentioned by the broken arm, the strange disease of the little princess, the emperor's Curse, and the three Buddhist sects' search bracelets suddenly formed a thread.
"So little princess..."
"The little princess has pure blood and is weak, so she was the first to suffer the attack."
"The emperor and others are so advanced in cultivation that they may not have noticed this Curse yet; but once Bloodline Curse breaks out, it will be too late to deal with it."
"Moreover, this will not only erode the current royal bloodline; the bloodline of subsequent royal children will also be affected."
Chen Xi's eyes fell on the table. "When the Myriad Stars royal family became chaotic and people dispersed, Great Brahma sent Buddhist soldiers to invade Myriad Stars, legitimately occupying Spirit Vein, grab resources, and even build Buddhist temples and spread the sect."
"This move really hit Myriad Stars Dynasty's seven inches." Even the extremely smart Chen Xi was deeply moved by this plan.
If Qin Tiexin hadn't accidentally discovered this, coupled with Chen Xi's amazing camouflage and penetration capabilities, it would have taken several years to find out the truth.
You know, it has only been half a year since the little princess' bloodline started to go wrong.
It is very likely that within two years, the Curse in the bloodline of all the royal disciples will break out. At that time, the Buddhist soldiers entrenched on the border can launch a massive attack and occupy the resources of the Myriad Stars Dynasty.
However, Qin Tiexin and Chen Xi don't care that much about these things. Dynasty changes are common. They are not Myriad Stars Dynasty's people, so there is no need to take such a big risk.
But the two of them had reasons that they had to take care of.
Chen Xi is of course for Su Qing. Once things get serious, Su Qing will have no way to leave the palace and may even become a victim at some point.
As for Qin Tiexin, in addition to helping his senior brother get Senior Sister Su out, there is another reason, which is Chen Zhao.
The child's thin and pale face flashed through Qin Tiexin's mind, and he remembered Su Qing's words with red eyes, "She might die of pain if she leaves me." He also thought of the small purse, made of coarse cloth, with crooked stitching, and was held up and shaken by a thin little hand.
Qin Tiexin doesn't want her to die in pain.
He looked up and suddenly thought of something.
"Brother, are you talking about that bracelet?"
"Yes." Chen Xi said, "Devil Venerable Xuanli's bracelet. That thing is Devil Artifact with Buddha nature. So Golden Summit Temple, Brahma Sound Valley, Bodhi Monastery, the three families all sent people to Heavenly South Domain to look for it. Whoever finds it will be rewarded with a great achievement. Holy Buddha Son also made an offer they couldn't refuse."
"What was promised?"
Chen Xi stretched out his hand from his sleeve and raised three fingers.
"Whoever finds the bracelet will be given blessings to increase the affinity of the Buddha's heart and increase the potential of Buddhism." He bent a finger.
"If there is fortuitous opportunity, you can also adopt it as the Dharma's dependent dao companion." He bent another finger.
"Finally, bring us into the Buddhist kingdom of Central Heaven Great Region." The last finger retracted into the palm of the hand.
Qin Tiexin Hearing the words "Family dao companion", his brows moved, and a chill flashed across his eyes.
"So Golden Summit Temple, Xiao Wan..."
"Yes, Xiao Wan is Buddha Maiden of Brahma Sound Valley." Chen Xi said, tapping his finger on the table, "She's here Ten Thousand Stars City, joined Star Selection just for this bracelet. And Golden Summit Temple slaughtered Zhaoming Temple and took the faith bell, which was also part of this plan."
He raised his eyes to look at Qin Tiexin, and the corner of his mouth moved slightly. He couldn't tell whether it was a smile or something.
"It's a pity that Golden Summit Temple and the others are unlucky. After choosing Zhaoming Temple to attack, I chose the identity of Zhaoming Temple's dead 'Mingjue' and asked you to take his place. Step by step, I inadvertently messed up their situation."
"Except sisters Xiao Household, all members of Brahma Sound Valley were killed by Secret Realm Trial, Golden Summit Temple's Yuanshun and his party were directly killed by you. In the end, the bracelet fell into your hands."
"In the last game, the reason why Xiao Wan wants to fight you so much is because he wants to test whether you are 'Liu Qing', and he also wants to seize the last chance to win the bracelet."
Qin Tiexin said nothing.
He thought of Secret Realm Trial and the battle of Devil Venerable Xuanli.
Devil Venerable Xuanli's Devil Qi was overwhelming, and he fought until he was exhausted. If he hadn't broken his arm and shot, the string of beads would most likely fall into the hands of Xiao Wan.
Even though he had already obtained the bracelet at that time, it was almost taken away by Xiao Wan later.
He had experienced the woman's thorough preparation, the depth of the city, and the high level of cultivation.
In Arena Trial's Pure Dharma Glazed Realm, she presses harder and harder. If he hadn't decisively admitted defeat and then backhandedly reported the test taker, he might not have been able to pass the test.
Now that I think about it, that string of beads has long been the eye in this chess game. Whoever takes it will control the direction of the entire chess game.
"There's one more thing." Chen Xi said.
Qin Tiexin looked at him.
"Chen Du."
This name is familiar to Qin Tiexin, the monk who repeatedly attacked him several times in Star Selection. The faint blue dagger, the poison quenched on the sword, almost killed him.
"I found out, that person was hired by Golden Summit Temple." Chen Xi said, his tone becoming colder, "He came here specifically to kill Mingjue. Later, you disabled him, and Golden Summit Temple's people directly picked him up and silenced him."
Qin Tiexin is silent.
He remembered Chen Du kneeling on the stage, blood dripping from his trouser legs, and his hand touching the poisonous needle on his waist.
At that time, he only thought it was a personal grudge, but now he understands that it was a dead line that had been laid out long ago. Chen Du's life was someone else's knife from beginning to end. Once it was used up, it was broken.
"So now, the bracelet is still on you?" Chen Xi asked.
"It's at Ming'an's place, but maybe I purified it too much. The breath on the bracelet has completely disappeared, and it's almost like an ordinary instrument." Qin Tiexin told Chen Xi about the appearance of the bracelet after purification.
"Just hide the things." Chen Xi said, leaning forward and speaking a little more seriously, "This thing is a hot potato now. Golden Summit Temple, Brahma Sound Valley, Bodhi Monastery, three families are looking for it. If Holy Buddha Son doesn't get it, it won't stop."
"It's better to destroy it." Qin Tiexin said.
Chen Xi shook his head and drew a circle with his fingers on the table.
"Keep it for now. This bead can not only be used as a lure to harm people, but it may also be the key to breaking the curse."
He stood up, walked to the window, and took a look outside.
"This matter involves too much." Chen Xi said with his back to him, his voice low, "The royal family is still in the dark for a while. You can just practice with peace of mind and get over Meridian Opening. I'll take care of the other matters."
"I'm going to think of a way to muddy this pool of water so that our brothers don't fall into it."
Qin Tiexin looked at the back of Chen Xi.
The senior brother stood in front of the window, and the moonlight filtered in from outside the window paper, outlining the outline of his shoulders.
The lazy look was still there, but his back was straight, like a knife in a sheath, and there was a faint murderous aura that flashed past.
He asked suddenly.
"Senior brother, what is the cultivation level of that Holy Buddha Son?"
"I don't know." He said, "This person is so hidden that I can't even find out his real name. Not many people over at Great Brahma have seen his true face."
"But he is not an easy person to be able to mediate between three families and make them all believe in him."
"I wonder if we can run into each other in the future."
