Without a heroic spirit, I can only end it myself.

[You tracked Gu Yuerong to Fushan Temple, and saw the monks besieging you. You were on the line between life and death, so you showed up and took action, killing the demon monk and saving the two of them from water and fire. 】

[Although the abbot of Fushan Temple showed up, he was wary and did not take any action. He just sat back and watched you take people away. 】

[In Fushan City, the two of them held a banquet in a restaurant in the city to repay the favor of saving their lives. 】

[You were worried, but you didn’t refuse. 】

[However, before the wine and food arrived, officers and soldiers knocked on the door and entered, saying that the city official invited you to come to the government office for a chat. 】

[You said you would go and come back, so you went to the government office. 】

Jiang He didn't need to guess what Fushan City officials wanted to do with him.

Sure enough, the city official first talked about what had just happened in the back hill of Fushan Temple, lamented the depravity of this generation of monks, then changed the topic and mentioned the important point.

"Brother Gu, I heard from the abbot of Fushan Temple that you are not a human race?"

Obviously, in order to prevent Jiang He from being blamed, the old abbot took the initiative to send someone to inform the city officials of the matter, and also revealed his identity——

You know, because the demon fox in Bazhou is causing trouble, the neighboring Shuzhou is also looking for the demon fox, but the intensity is not that great.

Naturally, the old abbot didn't know that Jiang He was the demon fox, but that didn't stop him from hinting and throwing dirty water on him.

At this time, when Jiang He faced the city official's inquiry, he nodded calmly and said with emotion.

"exactly."

"I was originally a spiritual beast in the mountains. I encountered a disaster many years ago and was saved by my benefactor."

"Later on, I have been by my benefactor's side. It was not until recently that I left home and traveled around the world..."

Jiang He's eyes were sincere and he didn't tell any lies, but he gave full play to the art of language.

The city official was listening and figured out the details in his own mind.

The benefactor who saved Brother Gu back then was probably a painter.

Brother Gu accompanied him around and learned skills, so he was never famous.

This also explains why he has such outstanding painting skills at such a young age...

Spirit beasts have long lifespans and look young, but they are probably hundreds of years old.

The years they mentioned were most likely one or two hundred years ago. During this long period of time, it is not surprising that if you study your skills carefully, you will excel.

As for being a spiritual beast, he is committed to helping others after entering the world and practicing cultivation...

Most spiritual beasts are affectionate and righteous.

Just because of a life-saving grace, he was full of kindness to others, did not care about race, and did good deeds everywhere——

This moral character is much nobler than most of the "people" the city officials have seen.

He couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

"Brother Gu is so righteous, I really admire him."

"Not long ago, a Buddhist temple in Bazhou was destroyed by a demon fox. The governor of this state also asked all cities to observe martial law and inspect the demon fox."

"I am acting as ordered, and I hope Brother Gu will reveal his true identity."

"When I record it, I will report it to Brother Gu and avoid some misunderstandings."

"As it should be."

Jiang He readily agreed and his body swayed.

In an instant, it transformed into a snow-colored white wolf, majestic and holy, without any trace of filth.

The city official showed admiration, but there was no strange color in his eyes.

Spiritual beasts are different from demonic beasts. They are favored by heaven and earth and are born with spiritual wisdom. They grow by absorbing the essence of the sun and moon. They are auspicious beasts.

Not only are some of the top sects in the Luo Dynasty protected by magical beasts, they have a high status, comparable to the sect leaders and elders.

It is said that the royal family of the previous dynasty had a trace of the blood of the ancient phoenix, and when they were born, there was a strange phenomenon of hundreds of birds paying homage to the phoenix.

When the city official used a high-hanging mirror to confirm that the white wolf was not concealed by any magic, it was his true form.

Then he smiled.

"Okay, I've got to help you, Brother Gu."

The white wolf stepped forward, and in an instant he transformed into a handsome young man, standing in the hall.

He looked up at the high hanging mirror with curious eyes.

"This is……"

"The imperial court has important weapons, and a bright mirror hangs high."

This is not a secret, the city official explained.

"In the past, when Taizu established his dynasty, he cast a bright mirror, which can illuminate people's soul and bring endless wonders."

"If you want to be an official in the court, you must look through the mirror to avoid causing harm."

"Later, the craftsmen in the imperial court made imitations. Although they were only a little magical, they were able to break through the illusion and identify the true form."

"These mirrors have been placed in various city government offices, not only to assist in handling cases, but also to urge city officials to clearly understand their true intentions and act fairly..."

"The mirror of the mind, there is such a magical thing in the world."

Jiang He spoke in surprise, but felt like he had some realization in his heart.

Historical records themselves are relatively brief and cannot be meticulous and comprehensive.

The records of Yuling World, which is a world away, have many distortions and omissions, and there is no record of any high-hanging mirror.

At this time, when he saw the high hanging mirror, he immediately thought of something similar.

[Mirror that shines upon the demon].

Similar functions, similar appearance.

It's hard to believe that there is no connection between them.

"However, it is impossible for demons to steal Buddhas for thousands of years without experiencing the mirror of mind. The fact that they can go undetected means that the original mirror of mind cannot reveal the demon body..."

"The mirror of the future may be an upgraded and strengthened version of the mirror of the mind."

"When you get stronger, you can find an opportunity to go to Luodu and see the original version."

While Jiang He was thinking about it, the city official invited him to have lunch again.

Unfortunately, Jiang He had an appointment beforehand, so he declined the city official's invitation and quickly left.

…

Fushan City Restaurant.

After Jiang He left, the atmosphere in the room quickly became dull.

Gu Yuerong has been so close to death for the first time since his travels.

When the golden stick fell, she almost thought she was going to die. Even though she narrowly escaped death, she still had lingering fears.

But when she saw Chen Nuxia next to her, she suppressed her heart palpitations again.

In comparison, Sister Chen not only escaped death, but the person who wanted to ambush her was her only remaining relative, who eventually died in front of her...

It's too awful.

Gu Yuerong hesitated for a moment and spoke softly.

"Sister Chen..."

"I'm fine."

Chen Nuxia shook her head and suddenly said.

"That's not my brother...absolutely not."

Gu Yuerong was stunned.

But Chen Nuxia was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"It's not just the look in his eyes...hate, anger, wanting to kill us and then quickly..."

"When he first saw me at Fukuyama Temple, he didn't pretend to be indifferent. Instead, he saw a complete stranger. He didn't respond until I called out."

"After knowing my intention, he was unwilling to exchange any words with me and left directly, avoiding me."

"I thought it was because I had been away from home for several years, which made him a little strange to me and he didn't want to recognize me anymore."

"Looking back now, it was actually wrong from the beginning."

"What if he was someone else?"

"He didn't recognize me because he had never met me before."

"He ran away from me because he was worried that I would discover the truth."

"He hates me and wants to kill me because he is afraid that I will reveal his identity."

A stranger has replaced the face and identity of Chen Nuxia’s brother?

Gu Yuerong felt horrified.

It was just like the scary stories told by the sect brothers and sisters.

But……

"Sister Chen, according to your guess, why would he take over your brother's identity?"

"Where is your real brother?"

"..."

Chen Nuxia was silent.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but she shook her head, her voice low and hoarse.

"I don't know his purpose...but if you want to replace a person's identity, the safest way is to kill that person..."

"However, since the monks of Fukuyama Temple are willing to help him, it means that they may also know the truth and even be involved."

A trace of sadness appeared in Chen Nuxia's eyes.

"Fushan Temple is most likely the murderer of my brother. I plan to investigate secretly and must find out the truth!"

"Me too!"

Gu Yuerong said.

Fukuyama Temple is a pure place for Buddhism, but it is full of filth and harms others.

This made her couldn't help but think of the evil under that mountain in Qingzhou, and she felt angry.

However, Chen Nuxia shook her head firmly.

"No, this is not the same as searching for a relative. It's too dangerous."

"If it weren't for Mr. Gu, even if we were lucky enough to escape the monk's ambush, we would still be dead when the abbot of Fushan Temple appeared."

"Miss Gu, you have helped me too much, you can no longer risk your life to help me."

"It's enough for me to do this myself."

"Ten years, twenty years..."

"I will keep pursuing it and one day I will be able to find out the truth."

"But that was just too long."

Gu Yuerong shook his head.

"Sister Chen, if there is really a problem in Fushan Temple, then your brother is definitely not the only one who was harmed."

"Ten or twenty years...even if you find out the truth, how many people will die because of it?"

"Don't worry, I won't act recklessly. I can go home and tell my father, and ask him to find someone to inform the state government and even the Buddhist sect to investigate Fushan Temple from top to bottom. The matter should be brought to light..."

"It's useless. What if the real culprit behind the scenes finds a scapegoat and blames the matter on others..."

I heard the two arguing.

Jiang He finally couldn't help it and pushed the door open directly.

"Stop for a moment."

The reason why he agreed to have a meal was because he was afraid of this...

Ignoring it, these two stupid young men jumped directly into the oil pan of the Demon Temple.

Find out the truth?

What is involved behind this is a secret that can destroy the entire Daluo world. What can they find out?

Even if it were true as Guo Yuerong said and the imperial government was invited to investigate together, nothing would be found.

On the contrary, it will attract the attention of the Buddha and cause fire.

When the time comes, the entire Gu family will be involved in the fun together.

"Mr. Gu..."

Seeing Jiang He enter the room, the two finally stopped and stood up in a hurry.

But he saw him waving his hands to arrange the silence method, sitting at the edge of the dining table, and sighed.

"I can understand your desire to find out the truth."

"But have you ever thought about it?"

"What if this matter involves not a small Fushan Temple, but the entire Buddhist sect?"

"How can it be!"

Gu Yuerong and the other two shook their heads immediately.

Buddhism has such a long history, just like Taoism, it can even be traced back to the ancient legends and myths era——

The so-called Ten Thousand Buddhas on Lingshan Mountain once really existed.

Even if some scum appear, it will not affect the lofty status of the Buddhist sect itself.

It's just a Buddhist temple secretly murdering others, how can it involve the entire Buddhist sect?

However, Gu Yuerong and Chen Nuxia were not believers in Buddhism after all. They were besieged and killed by monks not long ago, and their minds were shaken.

Furthermore, they did not know why the monks of Fukuyama Temple wanted to murder others and replace their identities.

Looking at Jiang He's serious expression, he was silent for a while and said cautiously.

"Are you kidding?"

Thinking of the monks surrounding them, Jiang He appeared at the right time and rescued them.

Their expressions became increasingly ugly.

Could it be that Mr. Gu knew some inside information, so he said this?

If it really involves the entire Buddhist sect...

No, even if it only involves a certain major sect of Buddhism or a certain "living Buddha".

This is not something they can afford.

Chen Nuxia's eyes were desperate, and Gu Yuerong couldn't accept it either.

"Is that all?"

"Because the evildoers are too powerful, so you just sit back and watch them continue to cause trouble?"

"Of course not."

Jiang He looked at the fledgling girl, his eyes softened a little.

If the trip to Qingzhou was her first lesson, the trip to Kunzhou was her second lesson...

Then, teach her the third lesson yourself.

"Subduing demons and monsters is not something that can only be done by being impulsive and angry——"

"If you encounter those monsters that are too powerful to fight against, all you will do is gain an extra life if you rush forward."

"Don't let anger dominate your will, use this energy to increase your strength and practice hard."

"When you are stronger than the demon, everything will be solved naturally."

Jiang He paused and continued.

"Moreover, I'm not asking you to sit idly by and do nothing. I'm just asking you to do what you can."

"If you can't defeat the Buddhist temple, then simply rescue those who are suffering, or enlighten and help those who are in a similar situation to you."

"As much power as you have, you can do great things."

Gu Yuerong and the two suddenly realized.

Isn’t this exactly what Mr. Gu did!

Although they were busy looking for relatives these days, they also heard about Mr. Gu's reputation in Fushan City and the hiring of caravans to send disaster victims home.

Similarly, aren't they also the ones saved by Mr. Gu?

Mr. Gu did not just talk in vain, but told them what he had done in words and taught them.

Understanding this, the two of them were convinced.

Jiang He also smiled when he saw this.

Gu Yuerong's encounter with Miss Chen also reminded him.

During the thousands of years that demons have stolen the Buddhist sect, although it has never been exposed, there are always people who find something strange and are dealt with by the demon monks.

Similar incidents will become more and more frequent as time goes by.

Until the future, completely detonated!

Eventually it evolved into hundreds of sects destroying the Buddha.

The Buddhist sect is so powerful that he is temporarily unable to solve it and has no intention of involving too many people.

However, he can save these "people who deserve to die" who have discovered something strange in the long river of time, and gather them together.

This is a force that does not exist in the original history.

Extending and maintaining it into the future, even if the Buddha Sect cannot be solved, the destructive power of hundreds of sects destroying the Buddha can be suppressed even further.

It will not be thousands of miles of scorched earth that lasts for thousands of years.

So, if you want them to exert greater power...

"Miss Chen, are you practicing sword art?"

Jiang He asked.

Although Chen Nuxia was puzzled, she responded.

"Yes, but it's just a very common sword technique, not a magic method..."

Only those who practice the wonderful Dharma are monks.

Those who practice ordinary skills are only warriors.

Just like Chen Nuxia, although she is a few years older than Gu Yuerong, her strength is one level lower than that of a first-level monk.

This is considered an outstanding talent among martial artists. He has reached a second-rate level at a young age, which is enough to be called a genius.

Relying on this growth rate, even if you practice until you are old and frail, it will be difficult to reach any height.

Ega made a decision.

"I can teach you a wonderful technique, and its name is Frost Sword."

"When you practice to the most profound level, when a sword falls, the sky will be filled with frost."

"It will give you the power to conquer demons."

"I also hope that you can only use this power to conquer demons."

This is one of the pieces of wool that Jiang He collected from the Book Fairy. It was originally the magical power of [Wind Knife and Frost Sword].

However, with the decline of heaven and earth, no matter how powerful the magical power is, it will lose most of its magic in the world of Daluo and degenerate into wonderful magic.

In addition, the magical power itself is quite complex and difficult to learn and master.

Ega simply split them apart and turned them into wind swords and frost swords.

Even so, they are still wonderful methods, and even the difficulty of learning has been greatly reduced.

As for passing on the magical powers collected from the Book Fairy, will it affect the world of Yuling...

Of course not.

When history is anchored, according to the timeline, teaching the skills comes first and harvesting the wool comes later.

"I plant a seed in the future and it will grow into a towering tree in the past..."

"People who do not exist in time, and the law which does not exist in time, hope to make some changes in the future."

Chen Nuxia didn't know what Jiang He knew or thought.

She was ecstatic at this moment, hesitated for a moment, and decisively knelt down and saluted.

"Disciple Chen Xianglan has met Master!"

"In the future, I must follow Master's teachings and use this wonderful method to slay demons!"

Jiang He accepted the gift calmly.

Then he raised his right hand and tapped his forehead.

As the mysterious sound entered her ears, Chen Xianglan was immersed in the wonderful method.

Gu Yuerong watched from the side, his eyes full of joy.

In the world of Daluo, there is not much difference in strength between magical methods. Most of them only differ in efficacy and completeness.

She joined the Qin Hai Sect and learned a wonderful technique, so naturally she would not be envious.

But Sister Chen, if she has to pass on the magic method, her destiny will change.

only……

Gu Yuerong looked at Mr. Gu, who was elegantly dressed in white.

After a moment's hesitation, he asked.

"Mr. Gu, if you practice hard, can you fight against Buddhism?"

Faced with this problem, Mr. Gu did not hesitate.

The voice was calm, as if he was not boasting against the eternal Buddhist sect that has been passed down for endless years.

It's more like stating something...

The fact that it has been done.

"I can."
