Chapter 523: Temple Name, Entering the Mirage
Meng Nan’s reaction made the “heroes” in the temple feel ashamed. Although Lingxu Zhenren was strong, they had gathered together to form a powerful force. There were already five of them who had the fighting power of the fourth level of Jindan.

Lord Jin Xiaoshen, Madam Shagu, Master Meng, Jin Nieyuan, and Taoist Huohuan, these five together can establish a sect no matter in the barren land or in the Taoist lands in the far reaches of the world.

Among those present, Jin Zhuliu was the most indignant.

“Meng Nan, take a good look at the thing on your young master Jin’s head. Should I show you a demonstration to show you its capabilities?”

“Little Lord, calm down. Although your Golden Court treasure, the Fiery God Hoop, is powerful and can control the soul, Lingxuzi is the beloved disciple of the master of Huoxu Cave. They are like mother and son. How could you know that there is no magic weapon to send to help in times of crisis?”

After hearing what Meng Nan said, Jin Zhuliu rarely showed any difficulty.

“My grandfather also told me about the name of Master Huoxudong. He said that she was a Taoist master in the past three to five hundred years. She had cultivated magical powers and magic weapons in the four realms. She would definitely be able to achieve the immortal fruit in the future.”

After saying this, Jin Zhuliu looked dejected.

He thought back to his life before he was reincarnated. If he had traveled around the world like the local masters, accumulated external skills, and ventured into secret realms, he might have been promoted to the fifth realm of the fetal spirit and thus had a chance of immortality.

Yang Qian said in dissatisfaction: “Master Meng, why do you only boost others’ ambitions?”

Meng Nan ignored this instigator and said to Jin Zhuliu, “If the second volume of the Jinting Immortal Scripture can be found, we can help study the magic nightmare techniques in it, and perhaps we can practice some rare treasures and special skills to severely punish Lingxuzi.”

“hehe!”

Jin Zhuliu laughed twice meaningfully.

How could he not know what Meng Nan was thinking? What was he trying to help with? He was just coveting the second volume of his own immortal scripture. However, he did not point it out because it was auspicious to practice that second volume, otherwise why would the previous god have sealed it in the South China Sea.

“The place where the second volume of the Immortal Scripture is hidden is on the Crab Island in the South China Sea. If you have the ability, go and get it. I will present to you the outline of deciphering the secret text and precious characters in the second volume.”

Meng Nan was completely humiliated by Jin Zhuliu’s words. He didn’t know whether to respond or not. He felt very uncomfortable sitting on the lotus seat. In the end, Ji Ming said a few words to smooth things over and passed over the topic.

Ji Ming had a copy of the supplementary volume in his hand. He didn’t know whether it was brought from the South China Sea by Old Ancestor Ku Ma. However, it didn’t matter. What mattered was how he could make Jin Zhuliu willingly help him decipher this supplementary volume.

This matter requires long-term consideration. For now, we should maintain the situation in the temple and unite all the practitioners into one team. They will naturally be useful in the future.

Ji Ming said on the high platform: “The Immortal Lingxu has profound Taoism, is a leader in the righteous way, and is a well-known figure in the southern part of the country. He has deep roots. It can be said that a single move can affect the entire body. Right now, we are not completely sure, so we should not act rashly.

Fortunately, we have similar interests and aspirations. We have arranged our seats here and are determined to seek the Dharma. We can complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses. It won’t take several years for our practice to improve. Then we can find famous masters and good friends from other sects, and give him the wealth of the Crane Temple to repay him.”

After hearing this, Jin Zhuliu showed a very interested expression.

“Brother Chi Shen, you are the master of this temple and I am the deputy. You should have a resounding reputation. When your fame spreads far and wide, it will also show our great power.”

“This is a very good idea.”

Ji Ming did not refute Jin Zhuliu’s opinion and said approvingly.

Seeing that Chi Shen Zi agreed, Jin Zhuliu immediately thought hard. Seeing that all the cultivators below the stage were looking at him, he was moved and said, “You all should also come together to think of a new temple name. It should not only fit the original intention of the Buddhist Scripture Conference, but also highlight our reputation.”

Above the petals, forty-eight monks and demons all began to think hard.

The name of the temple was easy to choose, but Jin Zhuliu was in a rush and added the two prefix conditions, which made the monks scratch their heads. In the end, Hu Laixi, Xuelinzhu, and Wusizang each chose three names. Hu Laixi named it Longxiang Temple. The dragon and elephant in Buddhism often refer to “people with great roots”, and this name suited the monks’ wishes.

The Blood Forest Lord took the name of Haeinsa.

The so-called “the seal of the sea and the myriad things are always in use” means that the Buddha’s wisdom is as clear as the ocean, able to simultaneously reflect countless things in the world. Although all things in the world are subject to birth, death and change, the clarity of the Buddha’s wisdom is constant and indestructible.

This name also implicitly fits in with the fact that the illusions of Chishenzi are impermanent, while the Buddha’s wisdom is always present. It can be said to be extremely subtle.

The U-Tsang Temple was named Vajra Prajna Temple, meaning that all practitioners here seek to verify the Vajra body and Prajna wisdom, in order to achieve both physical and spiritual perfection.

The three names each had a wonderful meaning, and attracted endless praises from the practitioners. However, Jin Zhuliu on the stage made a strange sound as if he was grinding his teeth.

This situation was because Jin Zhuliu had already thought of a temple name in his mind, but it did not have the depth of connotation as these three names. Now he was too embarrassed to say it out loud, and he couldn’t help feeling angry and annoyed.

When Ji Ming heard the sound of Jin Zhuliu grinding his teeth, he found it extremely funny. With such a character, how could he sit on the same stage with him unless he had some intentions towards him.

Although he didn’t show it on his face, Ji Ming was still kind and tolerant towards Jin Zhuliu.

Among the three temple names, the name chosen by Master Xuelin suited his taste the most, so he decided on this name in public and made an agreement with all the practitioners to discuss Buddhism again next year. Thus, a grand Buddhist scripture conference came to an end.

But in Qianhua Cave, Huang Zaozi was frightened away by Jin Zhuliu’s magic weapon. He felt embarrassed and hated Jin Zhuliu and everyone in the Buddhist meeting to the extreme, but he endured it.

After the ceremony in the temple was over, he had his confidants and disciples wait outside the mountain. They took a clear look at the various people present at the meeting and quietly wrote down a list so that they could assassinate them one by one in the future and alleviate some of the hatred in their hearts.

In the temple officially renamed as Haein Temple, after the monks dispersed, it did not become deserted. More and more demons and monks came here to be ordained as monks in order to learn how to obtain the Avici Qi.

However, the Buddhist scripture meeting had ended, and Ji Ming no longer lectured on this method. The monks who arrived late could only start from those who were listening to the Dharma.

Unfortunately, other people who learned this method regarded it as a matter of life and death. They strictly guarded against passing on the two Avici Qi and the secrets of practicing taught by Chi Shen Zi, and everyone did so without exception.

After this, many troubles arose in the temple. Fortunately, Ji Ming had set up strict rules and regulations, and with Madam Shagu guarding the temple, the temple was kept in order.

Within a few years after the end of the Buddhist Scripture Conference, the influence of the conference spread little by little to the two wildernesses in the southwest, as well as Pingyang Prefecture in the east, and even further away. The name of Zen Master Chi Shen was officially spread and became known to both Taoism and Buddhism, as well as their side sects.

However, there is no wall that is impenetrable. The grudge between Chi Shen Zi and Ling Xu Zhenren was spread by some people with ulterior motives, and people talking about it could be heard as far away as Taiping Mountain.

As soon as this news spread, Yang Qian, Meng Nan, and even Xie Chunchi, who had already returned home, fled their original residences as soon as they heard the news, and never appeared in Tiannan Dao again.

At this time, Ji Ming did not pay attention to these affairs.

Now, his true body and his second soul, Chi Shen Zi, have all arrived in the “Mirage Spirit Realm” hidden above the East China Sea.

In the dense mist and fog of the spiritual realm, there is a tower shuttle and a treasure tower, which are right next to each other. Inside the treasure tower, in the quiet room, Lingxuzi is spreading sweet fairy water to cleanse the body of the mirage dragon.

There was not much sweet water left in his relic bottle. After it was refined by the mirage dragon, there was nothing left.

After the refining was completed, Ji Ming and Shen Long looked at the catfish at the side. The catfish was stared at by two pairs of eyes, and spit out a bubble nervously. He said to Shen Long: “Congratulations to the new owner of the building for entering this place. From now on, there is a great road to look forward to!”
