Chapter 347 Hidden Scripture (1/2)

As Fahai looked like he was about the get angry, Shen Lian then continued, ”I was just joking with you. My augury uses the Taixu Divine Qi as the basis to obtain the innate hexagrams to predict everything in the world. It's only about eighty to ninety percent accurate. If you're curious and intend to learn, I doubt that's possible.”

Fahai snorted and said, ”This... When this poor monk used to travel around, your ancestors weren't even born yet. Who cares about your technique?” He wanted to call himself as this mister, but as he recalled that he was now a monk, he then changed his mind and called himself a poor monk.

He had problems that were unique to the demon clan, but at the same time, he was really proud. Given that he agreed to Baoyue that he would be a monk unless Baoyue changed his mind, he would then be a monk forever.

Naturally, he was interested in Shen Lian's techniques, as Qing Xuan was one of the four main Daoist sects. The techniques within the sect were not something comparable with the other smaller sects. In terms of practicing augury during a normal day, the technique might not be useful; but in time of crisis, if one could learn the authentic Xuanmen technique, perhaps one could escape from any misfortune.

It was often said that it was not a burden having a variety of Daoist techniques. Fahai could agree with it.

As he saw that Shen Lian did not intend to share, he was indeed disappointed, but at the same time, he did not want the boy to look down on him.

Shen Lian did not care about what Fahai was thinking. His fingers were moving about and a stroke of clear Qi was surrounding his fingers, like unbroken silk. Eventually, the eight Qi of sky, earth, mountain, swamp, water, fire, wind, and lightning came out and they formed an image. In the void, it looked like a mirage. One could see the unbroken chain of carts. It was obvious that it was a fortification on earth.

Shen Lian had gained some perception of the Four Symbols formation.

He used the five elements to form the eight Qi, and the reverse of eight Qi to gain the five elements. The transformation happened at will. While his mana and cultivation experience did not improve, but he had obtained more tricks using Taixu Strategy.

The people in the city came and left in crowds. The influence of the secular mortal world was deep. It was facing a lake.

The scenery of the lake was the beauty of the secular mortal world.

In the end, there was a baby crying. Its cry could pierce through clouds. The image was then shattered.

When Fahai heard the baby's cry, his mind could guess that it was the reincarnation of Baoyue. However, despite his rich knowledge, he could not identify this hustling big city. He asked Shen Lian, ”Where is this?”

Shen Lian replied, ”You will find it if you head east.”

With Fahai's ability, he could remember the fortification clearly even within the time span of several hundred to a thousand years. On the other hand, he was not going to look everywhere just to find it.

He also had to sort out the matters at Jinguang Temple before he headed out.

After saying goodbye to Shen Lian, Fahai then returned to Jinguang Temple.

When he entered the mountain gate, he was scanning the surrounding randomly with his glaring empowered eyes. Behind the woods and the rocks, he saw a monk was digging a hole at the hillside. It seemed like he was burying something. He then attempted to shorten the distance between them to inches. Within a step he was already in front of him, to see what he was trying to bury.

He could recognize this monk. It was the student of Baoyue the Venerable's junior apprentice-brother, Zen Master Baoguang. His name was Huiming. He was originally a general in Yue Tuo Kingdom, as such, he had great martial arts skills.

Monk Baoguang was once the national advisor of Yue Tuo Kingdom. Huiming had been assigned to be the protector for Baoguang then. He was under Baoguang for many years.

Ten plus years ago, Baoguang had a battle with Chen Jianmei with the intention to obtain the Golden-bodied Arhat. He did not succeed, and worse still, he lost all his power and became a normal human.

Baoguang then quit his position as the national advisor of Yue Tuo Kingdom. He then practiced Buddhism in peace at Jinguang Temple. Since Huiming had followed Baoguang for many years, he too followed suit and became a monk, and the student of Baoguang.

Five years ago, Baoguang was bored of his life and hence he decided to travel. As he lost his power, the journey around the world was rather inconvenient. Huiming followed and offered his service day and night.

Fahai came to the side of Huiming without using any technique to hide. Huiming realized it immediately.

When he saw it was Fahai, he quickly greeted and said, ”Abbot, why are you here?”
