Chapter 158: Fighting the Sweeping Monk, Shaolin Temple's Promise (Subscription Request)
Shi Jian said it lightly, as if it was not worth mentioning, but the old monk who swept the floor and the ancestor of the White Horse Temple, Monk Xuanjie, were old acquaintances.

He knew exactly what the other person's character was.

It's easy to understand that the old man would only agree obediently if the Maoshan headmaster in front of him put a knife on Xuanjie's neck...

His eyes became gradually deeper, and Master Xuan Ku did not choose to directly answer Shi Jian's question.

"Amitabha, it turns out that Master Shi has already visited the White Horse Temple and met Zen Master Xuanjie.

Speaking of which, I haven't met Zen Master Xuanjie for hundreds of years. Zen Master Xuanjie is very wise and willing to plead for the people of the world. I admire him very much!

Speaking of which, the undissolved bones under Teng Teng Town were extremely dangerous back then...

Two hundred years ago, this zombie possessed a total of 108 incorruptible bones.

The scene of my battle with Zen Master Xuanjie and Zen Master Xuankong of Jinshan Temple is still vivid in my mind.

I never thought that two hundred years would pass in the blink of an eye. Time is unforgiving!"

When Shi Jian heard this, he immediately understood that Master Xuan Ku wanted to practice Tai Chi with him. He frowned slightly. He had already prepared for the worst case scenario, which was nothing more than a fight with the Master Xuan Ku in front of him.

"Master Xuan Ku has been creating the universe for only two hundred years, but it has only been a blink of an eye. I wonder what the master thinks!
The people of the world have not seen the magical powers of Buddhism in these years. As time goes by, I am afraid they will forget the merits of Buddhism.

Master Xuan Ku, would you be willing to go with me at that time?"

Shi Jian didn't have the patience to talk nonsense with the other party. Going or not was just a matter of words. If the Buddhists were really determined to stay away from the world and not care about the lives of the people.

Then, Shi Jian would bring disgrace to the Buddhist sect...

Hearing Shi Jian's words mixed with a hint of anger, Master Xuan Ku suddenly felt embarrassed.

He thought Shi Jian would continue to debate with him, but he didn't expect the question to be so direct, which made him a little overwhelmed.

Looking at Shi Jian's stern expression, Master Xuan Ku could only settle for the second best. At worst, he could go there on behalf of Shaolin Temple. In short, as long as Shaolin Temple could remain secluded from the world, his goal would be achieved.

"Master Shi, I am willing to follow you to kill this incorruptible skeleton!"

Master Xuan Ku's words were decisive and full of heroism.

But this is not enough. Shi Jian's purpose in coming here is not to have a Jindan expert from their Shaolin Temple to deal with the incorruptible bone, but to have other disciples and elders from the Shaolin Temple come out!
Taking a deep breath, Shi Jian shook his head.

“Master Xuan Ku has an easy excuse, but he is only one person after all. Even though he solved the problem in Teng Teng Town, there are still other towns that are haunted by evil spirits.

The power of one person is ultimately limited. If the Shaolin Temple can open its gates and go out into the world to save all living beings, then all the people in the world will be truly saved!
I wonder what the master thinks?"

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Master Xuan Ku was extremely helpless. He couldn't fight, and he couldn't talk. It was indeed a bit unreasonable for their Shaolin Temple to stay away from the world for all these years.

But Shi Jian just kept focusing on this aspect, which made him really distressed.

"Master Shi!

The Shaolin Temple has a small population, and it is not easy to preserve the inheritance. Facing the demons of the world, I am afraid it is powerless..."

"Master Xuanku is joking. Everyone in the world knows that Shaolin Temple has two golden elixir masters and more than a dozen foundation-building elders. When it comes to foundation, there is no one comparable to it in the Buddhist community!
Even in Taoism, perhaps only Longhu Mountain can be compared with Shaolin.

The master's statement that there are few people and that we have the will but not the strength is too far-fetched. "

After saying that, Shi Jian didn't want to procrastinate any longer. Whether it would work or not was just a matter of a word.

“Master Xuanku, let’s not beat around the bush. I came here today in the hope that Shaolin can open its doors and enter the world to save all living beings!
Whether it works or not, the master can tell it in one sentence, no need to argue about it."

After Shi Jian finished speaking, the flying sword under his feet instantly sank into his dantian. He stepped into the void and looked at the Shaolin Temple in the distance. At this moment, he had already explored the entire Shaolin situation.

Shaolin is worthy of being the leader of Buddhism. Its strength is not weaker than that of Longhu Mountain. Even though Maoshan has two Golden Elixir True Lords, they are only roughly equivalent to Shaolin.

Knowing that there was no escape, Master Xuan Ku no longer concealed it.

"Hahaha, Master Shi is indeed a person of true character. Today I have finally seen what a pure heart of Taoism is!

However, if I want to bring Shaolin Temple into the world, I can only seek advice from Master Shi. "

After saying this, a fighting spirit that had been dormant for decades suddenly rose from Master Xuanku's eyes. His entire body was shining with Buddha's light, as if the Buddha from heaven had descended to the earth. His every move was filled with the meaning of something that could not be desecrated.

Shi Jian also understood that the truth must be revealed with fists. Now that the two of them have said so much, he has to use his fists to speak!
“Hahaha, since Master wants to stretch his muscles, I am naturally willing to accompany you to the end.

Master Xuan Ku, be careful! "

As soon as the words fell, a murderous aura filled the air. Shi Jian pointed his finger sharply, and a stream of Three Flavors True Fire, as if it had spirituality, rushed straight towards Master Xuan Ku.

The void seemed unable to withstand the terrifying high temperature of the Three Flames. As it shot towards Master Xuan Ku, the entire sky became turbulent...

Seeing the Three Flavors True Fire coming towards him, Master Xuan Ku also chuckled.

"Master Shi has a good method. Let's see what I can do."

As he spoke, Master Xuan Ku waved his sleeves, and his monk robe fluttered. A Buddha's light swept across the void, and the Three Flavors True Fire that was originally whistling was instantly absorbed into his sleeves. Under the Buddha's light, it began to become gentle until it was extinguished!

Shi Jian's expression did not change at all. He was not surprised that Master Xuan Ku had such strength. After all, the other party was also a great Buddhist master at the peak of the late Jindan stage.

After exhaling a breath of fresh air, a flash of scarlet lightning flashed across the void in Shi Jian's hand. The thunder of heavenly punishment as thick as a bucket suddenly shot out hundreds of meters, forcing Master Xuan Ku to retreat continuously.

Finally, the Buddhist beads in Master Xuanku's hand hit the thunder violently, and he breathed a sigh of relief. After looking at Shi Jian who had a calm expression, Master Xuanku frowned.

Although I know that the other party was able to cultivate to the late Jindan stage at such a young age and was definitely not an ordinary person who gained his fame for nothing.

But when he really encountered Shi Jian's Lightning Thunder Fist, coupled with the thunder of heavenly punishment, he was still frightened.

Master Xuan Ku secretly took back the somewhat dim Buddhist beads, no longer caring about his image at this moment.

The Buddha's light on his body became more and more condensed, and in a flash, it was like a golden arhat floating in the void!

Looking at Shi Jian, he slapped out with his palm, and the Buddha light in the sky was like suppressing evil spirits, forming a cage and rushing straight towards Shi Jian...

"Master, you have great skills. Now let me show you my thunder magic!"

Shi Jian chuckled, and the thunder in his hand was no longer held back. The thunder pill in his body continued to surge out the essence of thunder, making the thunder in Shi Jian's palm more and more terrifying.

Then, Shi Jian chose to fight in close combat against Master Xuan Ku even though he was able to shrink the distance to an inch!
With a whoosh, Shi Jian came to a few meters in front of Master Xuan Ku. Thunder blasted out violently. Master Xuan Ku silently chanted the Buddha's name, and the Buddha's light was like a bell. He managed to withstand Shi Jian's full-strength attack.

Up to this point, neither of them had actually resorted to killing, only some friendly confrontations.

Soon, with golden light emerging from Shi Jian's body and the golden lotus under his feet solidifying, the two of them turned into two golden divine lights and continued to fight in the sky.

Faintly, as the scarlet lightning and Buddha's light intertwined, the void roared non-stop...

Inside the Shaolin Temple, Xu Lu and Xu Ming also came to the place where Shi Jian and Master Xuan Ku were fighting.

Looking at the terrifying fighting waves in the void, Xu Lu couldn't help but gasp.

“Brother Abbot, I never thought that the Maoshan Sect Master Shi Jian was so powerful that he could fight against the ancestor and remain undefeated.

This time, Shaolin may be a little…"

Xu Ming was extremely worried, while Xu Lu frowned. At this moment, he was thinking, if he was the one fighting against Shi Jian, how long could he last?
I’m afraid I can’t even last half an incense stick!

"Forget it, Junior Brother Xu Ming, since the ancestor has taken action, the outcome of our Shaolin is no longer important.

If the ancestor can persuade the head of Maoshan to retreat, then Shaolin will be safe and sound. If the ancestor fails, what will happen to us brothers who face the chaos in the world? "

As he spoke, the aura of the golden elixir on Master Xulu's body was clearly revealed.

Half an hour later, there was a loud thunder in the sky, and Master Xuan Ku's body fell from the sky and landed steadily in front of Xu Lu and Xu Ming.

His grey monk robe was a little messy, his face was flushed, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his hands were shaking...

The next second, a streak of light fell in front of the three people. It was Shi Jian!

Shi Jian's breathing was a little rapid at this moment, but other than that, there was nothing unusual.

Looking at Master Xuan Ku in front of him, Shi Jian smiled slightly.

"Master Xuan Ku's achievements are as great as those of nature. I admire him. I just had a discussion with him and benefited a lot from it!"

After these words were spoken, Xu Lu and Xu Ming were a little confused. They couldn't tell who was the winner and who was the loser.

After Master Xuan Ku exhaled lightly, he also clasped his hands together.

"Amitabha, Master Shi's thunder magic is unmatched, and he is probably no worse than Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain.

I have also gained some insights.”

Nodding, Shi Jian changed the subject.

"Hahaha, Master, you are too kind.

However, it was worth the trip to fight with the master to this point. One month later, in Tengteng Town, I look forward to the master coming with a group of Shaolin monks.

Master Xuanku, I will say goodbye today. Goodbye!"

Master Xuan Ku nodded silently and also chanted the Buddha's name loudly.

"Amitabha, Master Shi, goodbye!"

After saying that, Shi Jian's laughter gradually became louder and louder. He summoned a flying sword from his dantian. After stepping on the flying sword, he looked at Xu Lu and Xu Ming meaningfully, then Shi Jian turned into a stream of light and disappeared in front of them.

After Shi Jian left, Master Xuan Ku, who had been full of energy and spirit, suddenly turned pale.

There was a violent tremor under his feet, and scarlet lightning was guided into the earth by him, and then the earth returned to normal.
