Chapter 340 When Gold and Jade Fill the Hall, Their Possessor Cannot Keep Them Safe (1/2)

The sword talisman seemed calm and peaceful. The ray bounced off from its veins, illuminating Fang Yanying's face.

This small sword talisman helped her to kill the King of the White Moon Demon Clan. She was not even aware that his power was comparable to that of a Buxu cultivator.

In just an evening, a lot of impressive individuals witnessed the sword aura that shone as bright as the Milky Way. Their respect for the Temple of Killings deepened.

Some claimed that Zhenren Shen of Qing Xuan was the only one in this world who mastered the essence of Milky Way Sword Aura. They wondered if the Daoist immortal Zhenren who rarely come out had actually come to Xi Huang.

However, no one had the guts to confirm their suspicions, and no one dared to stop Fang Yanying despite that there was nothing notable about her level of cultivation.

The vast field disappeared, and by spring next year, countless wild grass would grow again. The cycle of life would not end because of one move from the sword.

Fang Yanying calmed her shock and excitement. She continued her way to Jinguang Temple.

She was at the door of Jinguang Temple as the moon rose from the back of the temple.

The door was swung open slowly, and a young monk appeared at the door. The young monk put his palms together and greeted Fang Yanying, ”Dear benefactor, please come after me. The abbot is waiting for you at the inner hall.”

Fang Yanying was not surprised at all. It was only normal that someone as exceptional as Zen Master Fahai had predicted her arrival.

When she was following Chen Jianmei around, she had seen plenty.

The moon was brilliant tonight, the pale-yellow moonlight seemed like a thin layer of veil that shrouded Jinguang Temple. The cicadas and insects chirped away in this quiet and chilly night.

As she stepped into Jinguang Temple, Fang Yanying felt a strange emotion surfacing within her. It came from the sword talisman. She did not pocket it after taking it out.

The sword talisman was like her flesh and blood, and it offered her a new perspective.

It was an unusual perspective that allowed her to perceive different things. In her heart, Jinguang Temple was no longer a cold building, but it was a creature of blood and flesh that breathed.

She followed the young monk to a pavilion, and she saw the heart of the giant creature - Zen Master Fahai.

Zen Master Fahai had beautiful brows and handsome features. His eyes were full of life and they reminded one of the calm sea at night.

He was clothed in gold kasaya, and there was a staff leaning against the pillar next to him.

The staff was embellished with a round bead that was covered in a thin screen of light, making any observer forget about the moon in the sky

Though, the bead was neither bright nor was it shiny.

A thought occurred to her - this was a relic.

Mister Sea who was now a part of Buddhism and went by the name of Fahai, spoke calmly to Fang Yanying, ”This relic belongs to Monk Baoyue.”

Only then did Fang Yanying come to her sense. Slightly embarrassed, she bowed and spoke, ”I'm Fang Yanying. I have come to send my regards to you on behalf of Zhenren Shen of Qing Xuan. This elegiac couplet was written by Zhenren for Eluohedi.” Eluohedi meant Arhat, and it referred to the accomplishment of Baoyue the Venerable when he was alive.

A set of couplet appeared in her hands, and respectfully, she delivered it to Fahai.

He stared quietly at the couplet, and the couplet was airborne. When it was in mid-air, it unfurled to reveal the content - ”Body akin to Bodhi tree; Heart akin to mirror stand”.
