Chapter 21 The Secret of the Second Floor

The next day.

Kong Xiang and others came to visit Xuanwu in the Sutra Pavilion, but they saw only his body without seeing him. Xuanwu passed away leaving a corpse behind.

They had many questions to ask Xuanwu during this visit, including Xuanwu's martial arts, but they never thought that Xuanwu would just sit there and die.

In desperation, the three of them had to call other monks to bury Xuanwu properly, and then asked Chen Shuai for questioning.

Chen Shuai had already prepared a draft, and his answers to the three people's inquiries were flawless. However, during the questioning process, Kong Xiang's eyes were always filled with doubts, as if he was wondering whether Chen Shuai was also hiding his cultivation.

Even in order to test this idea, Kong Xiang suddenly tried to test Chen Shuai during the inquiry process. After some inspection, Kong Xiang did not notice that Chen Shuai had real energy in his body, so he gave up.

"Commander Jie, now that Xuan Wu is dead, I intend to let you go to the second floor of the Sutra Collection Pavilion. What do you think?"

After being alerted to Chen Shuai, Kong Kong and Kongshan no longer stayed. After all, after last night's battle, they still had a lot of things to do. Instead, Kong Kong, who stayed behind, said to Chen Shuai.

"Everything follows Master's instructions." Chen Shuai thought for a while and said, looking at Kong Xiang leaving, he always felt that things were a bit unreal.

"Isn't this a test for me?"

As soon as Xuan Wu died, Chen Shuai became the monk guarding the pavilion on the second floor, which made him a little flustered. If Kong Xiang hadn't checked it himself, he would have suspected that Kong Xiang was testing him.

Kong Xiang's efficiency was very fast. The person who replaced Chen Shuai showed up in the afternoon, and Chen Shuai also knew this person.

"Quit sex?"

The person who came was none other than Jiese, the senior brother who had brought Chen Shuai to the Sutra Pavilion.

Jie Se gave a bitter smile. He knew why Chen Shuai showed a surprised expression, so he explained: "Junior brother Jie Se, I fought with the evil people last night. I fell into the evil people's tricks, and now I have lost all my martial arts."

After hearing this, Chen Shuai showed an expression as if that was the case, but then he showed a puzzled expression: "Senior Brother Jise, Master told me this morning that the person who will replace me is Senior Brother Jiefa, why...?"

Before he finished speaking, Jiese said: "Senior Brother Jiefa didn't want to come, so Master didn't force me, so he asked me to come. In the days to come, please give me some guidance from Junior Brother Jieshuai."

"Senior Brother Jingse, you're welcome."

In this way, before Chen Shuai went up to the second floor, Jiese had already taken over the position of the monk guarding the pavilion on the first floor.

According to what Jingse said, the battle last night at the Buddha Temple suffered heavy losses. Most of the elixirs in Yaowangyuan were stolen by the four evil men, and many of the disciples who intercepted were injured by the four evil men's true energy and fell. Stubborn illness and loss of martial arts.

Jingse and Jingfa are just one of them, but excluding those disciples who died, these two are lucky, at least they are still alive.

Just like Xuan Wu, Chen Shuai handed over the manual that Xuan Wu had given him to Jie Se, and after explaining it, he went to the second floor.

Chen Shuai, who had been busy for most of the day, finally had free time to look at the next workplace. This time he no longer needed to be as cautious as before.

There was enough time to check the martial arts secret books on the bookshelf, and he picked up one of them, which contained a profound secret from Futu Temple. When he just flipped through the contents, Chen Shuai was stunned.

"It's not a martial arts secret book, but a scripture?"

The content inside was completely different from what Chen Shuai thought. After flipping through several pages, almost all of them contained a large number of Buddhist scriptures, which had nothing to do with secret books. This was the case even after flipping through several books in succession.

"Devil Demon Fist!"

Inadvertently, Chen Shuai found a secret book that he was familiar with. When he opened it, he saw that it was still a complete secret book, but this time, Chen Shuai saw something unusual in these secret books. "It is indeed a secret book, but the cultivation method is hidden in the scriptures."

If it weren't for Chen Shuai's practice of Demon-Subduing Fist, I might not have been able to tell that the method of practicing Demon-Subduing Fist was inserted into the scriptures without any sense of violation.

"No wonder the Sutra Pavilion's defenses are not tight at all. Even if these secret books are stolen, people who are not familiar with Buddhism will not know how to practice."

The previous confusion was solved, and Chen Shuai suddenly figured out a lot. There were so many secret books in the Sutra Pavilion, but there was no expert to guard them closely. It turned out that this was the problem.

"And these secret books are not the original ones, so even if they are lost, it will not have much impact."

Chen Shuai carefully looked through the secret book of Demon Subduing Fist and discovered something that he had not discovered before.

The practice method of Demon Subduing Fist is hidden between the lines of the scriptures. If you want to extract the real secrets from the scriptures, you must be proficient in Buddhist principles. This kind of proficiency is not just superficial proficiency, but requires a deep understanding of the principles.

This method of martial arts training reminds Chen Shuai of the Shaolin Temple in The Eight Tribes of the Dragon. Simply practicing the secrets can only cultivate its form but not its meaning. You must be proficient in Buddhism, but once you are proficient in Buddhism, you may be brainwashed by these Buddhist principles. Thus he became a Buddhist believer.

Because of this, neither the Shaolin Temple in the previous life nor the Futu Temple in this life care whether the secret books were stolen. On the one hand, only the manuscripts were stolen, and on the other hand, they could not cultivate anything. Even if they cultivated, they might not be able to master it. They will all escape to the pagoda temple.

"I remember that when Xuanwu gave me the breath gathering skill, he gave it to me in this way, but he deliberately made a mark. In fact, even if he didn't make a mark, maybe I could find it."

Chen Shuai couldn't help but recall that he had read a lot of scriptures at that time. Although most of them were swallowed wholeheartedly, he could still see the abnormality of the breath gathering skill after reading more. After all, he was copying scriptures repeatedly at that time.

In other words, even if Xuan Wubu marked it, Chen Shuai would be able to detect the abnormality in the end. The difference lies in how long it would take him to find the complete breath gathering skill.

Thinking about it this way, Chen Shuai felt that it was actually somewhat beneficial for him to choose reading as a daily activity, which would facilitate his future practice. Fortunately, his practice relied on the system, otherwise he would have become a stupid fan of Buddha by now. .

"These secret books should be left to those who are destined to read them."

After thinking of this, Chen Shuai was much less interested in the secret books. Although there were many secret books in it, he couldn't practice it at the moment, so he might as well leave it here and look through it when he had nothing to do.

After a brief tour, Chen Shuai no longer paid attention to the secret books on the bookshelf. He found a corner and clicked on the panel, which displayed:
[Name: Jieshuai]

[Calamity: 0]

[Realm: The Second Realm of Innateness]

[Daily activities: sweeping the floor, reading, breathing]

[Experience transfer objects: Demon Subduing Fist, Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu, Yi Jin Jing]

【武学:伏魔拳(出神入化4333/30000)龙象般若功(如火纯青522/8000)易筋经(登堂入室3221/4000)罗汉拳(极限)敛息功(极限)】

Different from other cultivation methods, the cultivation speed of Yi Jin Jing is very slow. You can get a little experience point every time you exhale and inhale. And as Chen Shuai's cultivation deepens, his breathing becomes longer.

In addition, as Xuan Wu said, the function of the Yi Jin Jing is not to improve the realm, but to purify the true energy. After practicing the Yi Jin Jing, Chen Shuai found that his true energy had shrunk by half, but the quality had improved a lot.

If he could use the Demon-Subduing Fist three times before, he can now use the Demon-Subduing Fist four times at the same level.

After some sorting, Chen Shuai started his life as a sweeper on the second floor.
