After descending Mount Hua, Yue Wenxuan did not go directly to Mount Song, but came to Luoyang on the way.

His purpose of coming to Luoyang was to meet Ren Yingying.

The Green Bamboo Lane in Luoyang is very remote, and Yue Wenxuan had to change three people before he finally found out the exact address.

Walking into the quiet Green Bamboo Lane, Yue Wenxuan originally thought that he would first meet the Green Bamboo Old Man dressed as an old bamboo craftsman. Unexpectedly, just as he reached the entrance of the lane, Shang Suzhen, one of the top ten elders beside Ren Yingying, happened to walk towards him.

Suddenly seeing Yue Wenxuan appear in Green Bamboo Lane, Shang Suzhen asked in surprise: "Left Envoy Yue, why did you suddenly come to Luoyang? It's such a surprise!"

Shang Suzhen has always been by Ren Yingying's side to protect her, and is considered one of the people in the world who knows Ren Yingying best. Recently, Ren Yingying has been a little lost in thought, and Shang Suzhen knows without asking who the person is who has made the Saint Lady suffer from lovesickness.

Shang Suzhen is definitely an expert in wielding swords and sticks and even killing people, but she is helpless when it comes to convincing a young girl who is just beginning to fall in love.

Shang Suzhen was worried about this matter, but unexpectedly she suddenly saw Yue Wenxuan, who made the Saint Lady suffer from lovesickness. Naturally, she was very happy.

Yue Wenxuan smiled and replied, "I was going to the Blackwood Cliff, the head teacher, and happened to be passing by Luoyang. I remembered my appointment with Yingying, so I came to visit her. I wonder if Yingying is still here?"

"Left Envoy Yue is thoughtful. The Saint Lady has been living in seclusion in Green Bamboo Lane for a while and has not gone anywhere. I will lead the way for you."

As they were talking, Shang Suzhen led the way, and the two of them soon walked into an elegant courtyard.

There was an old man busy in the courtyard. Before Yue Wenxuan could ask, Shang Suzhen shouted to him, "Old Green Bamboo, come over and see Yue Zuoshi."

When he suddenly saw Yue Wenxuan, a stranger, Green Bamboo Old Man's eyes revealed a hint of surprise and vigilance. It was not until Shang Suzhen pointed out Yue Wenxuan's identity that he let down his guard.

"Old Man Green Bamboo greets Yue Zuoshi." Old Man Green Bamboo's tone was quite respectful, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Yue Wenxuan revealed obvious scrutiny.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhu." Yue Wenxuan simply greeted Mr. Green Bamboo and had no intention of saying anything more to him.

Hearing the noise outside, Ren Yingying also came out of the house. Because she heard Yue Wenxuan's voice, she didn't wear a veil. The moment she saw Yue Wenxuan, she couldn't help showing surprise on her face.

"Yingying, why do you look thinner after not seeing you for half a month?" Yue Wenxuan asked with concern when he saw Ren Yingying's obviously thinner face.

Ren Yingying is such a face-conscious person, so of course she wouldn't tell the truth, "Maybe my appetite hasn't been very good recently, so I haven't lost much weight."

Yue Wenxuan did not continue the topic. At Ren Yingying's invitation, he went into the house and talked to her.

Both of them were quite restrained in their words, and neither of them would talk openly about missing each other, but the concern in their words and eyes could not be concealed.

After chatting about their recent situation and discussing martial arts for a while, Yue Wenxuan asked, "I plan to go to the Black Cliff of the Grand Master and visit Shaolin Temple on the way. Do you have anything else to do recently? If not, I would like to invite you to go with me."

After hearing Yue Wenxuan's plan, Ren Yingying frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said in a serious tone:
"Whether you are heading to the Blackwood Cliff of the Grand Master or to the Shaolin Temple, there may be some dangers for you. Are you ready to deal with the dangers?

I'm not too worried about the trip to Shaolin Temple.

Although you are the Left Envoy of the Divine Religion, you have not done anything that is unforgivable in the eyes of Master Fang Zheng, and you spared Taoist Chongxu. This alone is enough to leave a good impression on him.

Based on my understanding of Master Fang Zheng, as long as you don't provoke him too much, he won't gather people to attack you.

I just don't know what your purpose is in going to Shaolin?"

Facing Ren Yingying's question, Yue Wenxuan said bluntly: "My purpose of going to Shaolin Temple is very simple, I just want to discuss Buddhism with the monks in the temple.

As long as the senior monks of Shaolin Temple do not have the intention of exorcising demons, I will definitely not take the initiative to fight with them.

Based on my understanding of Master Fang Zheng, even if other people in the temple had such thoughts, he would probably stop them in time.

Therefore, this trip to Shaolin should not be dangerous, otherwise, I would not dare to invite you to travel with me."

Ren Yingying didn't really believe the reason given by Yue Wenxuan. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't believe that Yue Wenxuan's purpose of going to Shaolin was to discuss Buddhism with the monks in the temple.

Originally, she thought that Yue Wenxuan's purpose of going to Shaolin Temple might be to obtain the Shaolin Temple's various martial arts secrets, or for other ulterior motives, but when she saw that Yue Wenxuan looked serious, he didn't seem to be perfunctory.

"You are really a man of great skill and courage. Even if you can beat Master Fang Zheng in combat, there are so many masters in Shaolin Temple. If all the great monks attack you, I'm afraid you will be doomed.

I think if you really have no other purpose, it's better not to take the risk." Ren Yingying advised sincerely.

"Don't worry, since I have the courage to go to Shaolin Temple, I am not afraid of their siege.

You may not know that my strongest skill is not swordsmanship, but Qinggong. Even if I take you with me, I have the confidence to leave Shaolin Temple safely."

Seeing Yue Wenxuan's confident look, Ren Yingying didn't say anything. Based on her understanding of Yue Wenxuan, he was definitely not a person who would brag. Since he dared to say that, he must have the ability to do so.

Since Yue Wenxuan was confident that he could take her away from Shaolin Temple, Ren Yingying had nothing to worry about. She chose to believe in Yue Wenxuan's strength.

"Then let's talk about the dangers of going to the Blackwood Cliff of the Grand Master.

You have not been in the head coach's office in recent years, so you may not be very clear about the situation and style of the head coach in recent years.

Relying on the favor of Uncle Dongfang, Yang Lianting has become more and more outrageous. Now, under his manipulation, the situation of the headmaster is in a mess.

Just one thing, you may not be able to accept it.

Under Yang Lianting's suggestion, the flattery of the head cult became more and more serious. Even if you are the Left Envoy of Light, you must learn those corny words in advance when meeting Yang Lianting, the chief steward, and the Eastern Cult leader.

I don't think you can say these words to someone as proud as you. But if you don't say these words, it will definitely offend Yang Lianting, and there is a great possibility that he will target you.

With your martial arts skills, you are not afraid of anyone anywhere in the world, but if you go against the Eastern Patriarch, I really don’t have much confidence that you will win in the end.

So I think your trip to Blackwood Cliff is the most dangerous thing. I remind you not to underestimate Dongfang Cult Master, his strength is indeed terrifying." Thinking of the terrifying martial arts that Dongfang Bubai had displayed, Ren Yingying became worried and was extremely worried about Yue Wenxuan's trip to Blackwood Cliff.

Yue Wenxuan knew that no matter how much he said, it would be futile. The image of Dongfang Bubai as invincible had already been deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even if he boasted about his martial arts in front of Ren Yingying, it would be difficult to reassure her.

At this time, Yue Wenxuan could only assure him dryly: "Don't worry, I'm not a reckless person. If there is a real need, I can bend and stretch, and I will never put myself in danger.

Besides, I have some confidence in my own strength. If I ever come to blows with Dongfang Bubai, even if I can't win, at least I can get away in time."

"You're not really planning on taking action against the Eastern Patriarch, are you?" Ren Yingying frowned, worry written all over her face.

"That depends on the situation. I have already mastered martial arts, and to be honest with you, if I really fight with Dongfang Bubai, I think I will be the winner in the end."

Yue Wenxuan stared into Ren Yingying's eyes and said sincerely, "You said I have such strength, why do I have to be inferior to others?"

Ren Yingying and Yue Wenxuan looked at each other for a long while, and soon determined Yue Wenxuan's true thoughts.

Yue Wenxuan had such confidence and courage, she admired him very much, and said with some worry:

"Even if you have this idea, shouldn't you be fully prepared before taking action?
I am confident that I can persuade several top experts to defect. Once we reach Blackwood Cliff, you'd better not rush to act. Try to give me more time. Even if you can't persuade these people to join you in the action, it should be no problem to let them work secretly."

"Don't worry, I will definitely not act rashly." Yue Wenxuan said perfunctorily.

The two of them talked about some details of the operation, and Yue Wenxuan changed the subject and stopped talking about it.

It was a rare trip to Luoyang City, so Yue Wenxuan was not in a hurry to set off with Ren Yingying. Instead, he traveled with him and stayed around Luoyang for two days before heading to Shaolin Temple.

Shang Suzhen and Lu Zhuweng had originally planned to follow, but under Yue Wenxuan's persuasion, they had to go to Heimu Cliff first.

Yue Wenxuan and Ren Yingying traveled all the way to Shaolin Temple. When they arrived at the gate, Yue Wenxuan took out the visiting card and handed it to the monk in charge of reception, saying:
"Please inform the master that Yue Wenxuan, the Left Envoy of the Sun and Moon Sect, and Saint Lady Ren Yingying are here to visit us. I hope Master Fang Zheng of your temple can take the time to meet them."

The monk in charge of reception was immediately shocked. He never expected that the pair of handsome men in front of him, who looked like a golden boy and a jade girl, would actually be the famous Left Envoy of Light and the mysterious Saint Lady in the Demon Sect.

He had just heard some time ago that the Demon Cult's Left Protector of Light had defeated the Wudang Sect's Taoist Master Chongxu. Now he actually saw this great devil visit the Shaolin Temple with his own eyes. Although Yue Wenxuan behaved politely, he still felt a chill in his heart.

"Please wait a moment here, I will go in and report to the abbot now."

The monk in charge of receiving guests apologized and ran into the temple in a hurry.

Not long after, several middle-aged fat monks came out of the temple. They just stood in the distance and watched Yue Wenxuan and the others with a fierce look, fearing that the two would suddenly attack and break into the temple.

Perhaps Yue Wenxuan's deterrent power in the martial arts world is strong enough. It didn't take long before dozens of monks walked out of the temple in a mighty procession.

Walking in front was a thin old monk with flowing white beard. It seemed that this person should be the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Master Fang Zheng.

Fang Zheng came to stand in front of Yue Wenxuan, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha. I, Fang Zheng, greet Young Master Yue, the Left Envoy of the Sun and Moon Divine Sect, and Miss Ren, the Saint."

Yue Wenxuan bowed in return, "Greetings, Master Fang Zheng. I hope you will not be offended by my sudden visit today."

"Young Master Yue and Miss Ren are both honored guests of my temple. I am very happy and would not be surprised at all."

Master Fang Zheng was not clear about the purpose of the two people's visit. The place in front of the mountain gate was not a place to talk, so after a few greetings, he respectfully invited the two people into the temple for tea.

The group arrived at the temple and sat down in a hall. Master Fang Zheng asked the young monk beside him to serve tea and asked bluntly:
"Young Master Yue has become famous recently. He is so powerful that people really admire him. I wonder why you came to my humble temple today?"

“I have been interested in studying Buddhism since I was young. Although I have gained a lot over the years, there are still many things that are puzzling to me.

I happened to pass by your temple today, so I thought of visiting the Shaolin masters and asking for advice on Buddhism.

I am sincerely asking for help, and I hope Master Fang Zheng will give me some advice."

Master Fang Zheng never expected that the young man in front of him would say such a thing, and his face showed a little surprise.

Although he didn't really believe what Yue Wenxuan said, since he wanted to learn about Buddhism, he might as well give him a try.

At that moment, Master Fang Zheng began to discuss Buddhism with Yue Wenxuan. At the beginning, it was mainly Master Fang Zheng himself who did the talking, and he would occasionally ask Yue Wenxuan a question.

What surprised Master Fang Zheng was that no matter what he asked, Yue Wenxuan could always answer well, and often made surprising remarks that sounded extremely reasonable.

Yue Wenxuan did have a very profound knowledge of Buddhism. In front of Master Fang Zheng, no matter which aspect of the Buddhist scriptures the two discussed, Yue Wenxuan could always talk about it eloquently, and his performance was no worse than Master Fang Zheng.

Master Fang Zheng did not expect that Yue Wenxuan was actually proficient in Buddhism, and the other monks accompanying him could not have imagined this either.

At the beginning, these people were very wary of Yue Wenxuan. As the discussion of Buddhism deepened, they were gradually attracted by the words of Master Fang Zheng and Yue Wenxuan. They slowly let down their guard and began to immerse themselves in the two's lectures.

Yue Wenxuan discussed Buddhism with Master Fang Zheng. This was not only an excuse he made, but also one of the purposes of his coming to Shaolin Temple today.

What he discussed with Master Fang Zheng was not Shaolin Kung Fu, but only the understanding of Buddhism. Master Fang Zheng would certainly not be too self-centered, and what he said must be his true understanding of Buddhism.

From Master Fang Zheng's understanding of Buddhism, Yue Wenxuan was able to glimpse the true secret of Shaolin Kung Fu, which was what he truly valued.

It turned out that Yue Wenxuan just wanted to discuss Buddhism with Master Fang Zheng, and in the process, Yue Wenxuan indeed demonstrated his superb Buddhist skills. Some of his unique understandings even made the masters of Shaolin Temple feel ashamed.

The Shaolin monks were a little wary at the beginning, but after a while, they were attracted by Yue Wenxuan's superb Buddhist skills.

The atmosphere between the two sides began to become harmonious, but at this moment, a young monk suddenly came to report that the head of the Songshan School, Zuo Lengchan, led his fellow disciples to visit Master Fang Zheng.
