Traveling through Carrying the Qiankun Ding

Chapter 659 Gambling War
Nian Chan did not reveal his wood talent from the beginning to the end. With his light talent at the level of a two-star Bodhisattva, he was naturally no match for Liu Bo.

After persisting for another quarter of an hour, Nian Chan took the initiative to admit defeat.

Liu Bo only stayed in Fahua Temple for a short time, and no matter what secrets or schemes Nian Chan had, he had nothing to do with him. Therefore, Liu Bo just kept the wood spirit root talent of Nian Chan in his heart and didn't pay too much attention to it.

Liu Bo defeated the most powerful Kong Ji and Nian Chan one after another, taking the lead in winning No.1 in the competition.The next few battles also ended quickly. In the end, Kongji won No.2, Nianchan won No.3, Shouji and Yanhua won No.5 and No.[-] respectively.

After the ranking is determined, the rewards will be issued soon.Liu Bo's reward was a 50-year-old Bodhisattva relic, which was the first time he had seen a relic, and after getting it, he appreciated it carefully.

Liu Bo pretended to be a monk of the Light Department, and the one he got was of course a Light Department relic.This relic was about the size of a pigeon egg, with a round body and a faint halo on the surface.If there is no identification, Liu Bo may think that this is a piece of top-quality jade.

After admiring it, Liu Bo directly ingested this relic into his sea of ​​consciousness.

The 50-year mana relic is extremely precious, and Liu Bo will completely become his own mana after simply refining it.Liu Bo's promotion to Three-Star Bodhisattva is still very short. Although his comprehension of the law has reached the level of Three-Star Bodhisattva, the concentration of mana is still far behind.With this relic, Liu Bo's shortcoming of lacking mana will be greatly improved immediately, and his shortcoming will also be fundamentally improved in future games.

At the end of the competition, the ten competition places were officially determined.

There are still 20 days left, and the preliminary round of Lianxi Mountain is about to start.The host of Jing Nian is going to open the merit pagoda tomorrow, and after half a month of submerged cultivation, they have to set off.

In the morning of the next day, under the personal leadership of Jing Nian, the crowd came to the merit pagoda on the back mountain of Fahua Temple.

The merit pagoda has a total of nine floors, the whole body is golden yellow, and it is [-] meters high. The whole tower body is shining with a faint yellow light.

Standing under the pagoda, Liu Bo clearly felt a strong breath of merit. He believed that even those monks who did not practice the law of merit should have the same feeling as him.

"The Golden Pagoda of Merit is the treasure of our Fahua Temple, and it will not be opened easily. You are the first batch of young disciples to enter it. I hope you will cherish this rare opportunity and use this half-month of latent training time to I can make great strides forward. I will activate the greatest auxiliary function of the Golden Pagoda of Merit, and I hope that all disciples will seize the opportunity and make the greatest breakthrough." Jing Nian presided over.

"I heard that the more eminent monks have great merit, the more they will gain in the golden pagoda of merit. We are too young. Except for Junior Brother Wuxin, we have not accumulated much good deeds. I don't know if it will affect this time. The effect of hidden cultivation?" Kong Ji is the oldest, and he knows a little more about the Golden Pagoda of Merit.

The host of Jing Nian stroked his beard and smiled and said: "It seems that you have some understanding of the Golden Pagoda of Merit. The amount of accumulated merit does have a great impact on cultivation. Although Wuxin is young, his merit is profound. This time, he will definitely be able to cultivate Great harvest. The few of you have shallow merits, so the effect of this retreat is certainly not comparable to that of Wuxin, but compared to you practicing alone, the effect is definitely a million times stronger."

After a pause, Jing Nian went on to say: "The more merits accumulated in the Golden Pagoda, the stronger the effect of auxiliary cultivation. All the merits accumulated in our Fahua Temple are gathered in the Golden Pagoda. You can also enjoy the role of the golden pagoda to assist in cultivation. Of course, if your own merits are deep, the effect will be even better."

Kong Ji and the others were very curious about the treasure of the temple, and just about to continue asking questions, a voice suddenly came from afar: "I heard that your Fahua Temple has just finished the selection, and the ten selected disciples must be outstanding and powerful. In order to strengthen each other and make progress together, I brought ten participating disciples from our Youlin Temple to come here to compete, and I also ask you Fahua Temple to give us your advice."

"It turned out to be Youlin Temple! It seems that your time for sublimation training will be set back a little bit. We will come here again after sending away the contestants from Youlin Temple." Jing Nian frowned, secretly worried.

The retreat plan was interrupted, and everyone felt a little regretful, and they were very dissatisfied with the Youlin Temple who came to make trouble.

The crowd followed Jing Nian and soon came to the gate of Fahua Temple.

"How about Master Jing Nian? I brought ten participating disciples from Youlin Temple here to visit this time. Master shouldn't blame you, right?" With a hint of provocation.

"Master Guangfa personally brought his disciples to come to give advice. Naturally, we at Fahua Temple will sincerely welcome you. We also invite fellow Taoists and others to talk inside." The host of Jing Nian did not confront each other. Entered Zhikeyuan.

Youlin Temple is a first-class temple within the range of Lianxi Mountain, far more powerful than Fahua Temple.There are 50 people participating in the competition, which is five times that of Fahua Temple.The relationship between the two monasteries has always been slightly tense, and Jing Nian secretly guessed the true purpose of the Youlin Temple.

After a few words of politeness, Jing Nian asked directly: "In the previous competitions, our Fahua Temple's results are rarely comparable to your Youlin Temple. This time, our Fahua Temple only has ten entries. Those who can compete with each other There are many opponents, I don't know why Master Guangfa only takes a fancy to us?"

"Since Master Jing Nian asked, I'll just bluntly say what I'm here for. Some of our disciples in this class of Youlin Chanyuan are very talented, and they are very hopeful to achieve higher results in the competition. If this is the case, this Not only is it a blessing for our Youlin Temple, but it is also a blessing for our entire Lianxi Mountain. Therefore, I want to create better conditions for these disciples, which is why I made this presumptuous visit." Guangfa hosted, bluntly Said bluntly.

After hearing Guangfa's explanation of his visit, everyone in Fahua Temple was a little angry.

Jing Nian frowned slightly, her expression seemed a little dissatisfied, and she flatly refused: "Does it mean that you Youlin Temple still want to enter our Kung Virtuous Golden Pagoda? If that's your plan, I'm sorry I can't agree. Our Fahua Temple's Kung Virtuous Golden Pagoda has never It is open to young disciples. This time, the disciples participating in the competition are more talented. I made an exception and allowed them to enter the Golden Pagoda for half a month. This is already a precedent for our Fahua Temple. The merits of our Fahua Temple It has never been opened to other people outside the temple, and I will never agree to your request."

Jing Nian's answer was completely within Guangfa's expectation. He said unhurriedly: "I can fully understand the decision of the presiding officer Jing Nian, but I am not borrowing your merit gold pagoda for nothing. I have two plans. , Master Jing Nian may wish to listen to it before making a decision."

"Since Master Guangfa has the confidence to impress me, I might as well listen to it. Master Guangfa please explain." Jing Nian decided to listen to the conditions of Guangfa.

"The first plan is: Our Young Forest Temple pays enough price, whether it is the best fairy crystal or other treasures, we can discuss it. The second plan is: I want to have a bet with you. If our Young Forest Temple wins, Then let the ten disciples I brought enter the Golden Pagoda to cultivate for half a month. I wonder what Master Jing Nian wants?"

Guangfa then added: "Just now, Master Jing Nian seems to have a lot of confidence in your participating disciples this time. I think the second plan should be very suitable for your choice."

Youlin Chanyuan's request seemed to despise Fahua Temple, and several eminent monks in Fahua Temple were very dissatisfied.Several people secretly transmitted voices, and after communicating with each other, they unanimously agreed to fight with Youlin Temple.

Without Liu Bo's sudden emergence in the competition, the eminent monks of Fahua Temple would not have dared to agree to the request of Youlin Temple, even if they were angry.Now they are being bullied by Youlin Temple, and they have Liu Bo's cards in their hands. If they dare not agree to the bet, it will be too embarrassing.

After the discussion, Jing Nian presided over and said: "Our Fahua Temple's merit golden pagoda has never been opened to the outside world. No matter how much you are willing to pay, this principle cannot be changed. Although our Fahua Temple has a poor reputation, But I won’t lose my determination to win, since Master Guangfa strongly requested, then I will agree to your betting request. What are you going to use to bet against? How should the rules of betting be formulated?”

Guangfa was a little surprised that Fahua Temple readily agreed to Gadou's request.He was planning to stimulate several eminent monks of Fahua Temple, but he didn't expect that the following preparations would be unnecessary.

"For gambling items, our Youlin Temple naturally has to show enough sincerity. We are willing to take out a low-grade Xiantian Lingbao and ten relics that are restricted by the nineteenth floor as items for gambling. The low-grade Xiantian Lingbao will compensate you In Fahua Temple, ten relics were rewarded to ten contestants. The best relic has condensed 50 years of mana, and the other relics have condensed 10 years of mana. I don’t know such gambling items, Are the masters still satisfied?" Guangfa said confidently.

In half a month, although a lot of merit will be consumed, using a top-notch low-grade innate spirit treasure as compensation is enough to make up for the loss.The compensation for the ten participating disciples is also full of sincerity. With such a gambling condition, several eminent monks of Fahua Temple have nothing to say.

Jing Nian presided over and said: "This condition is indeed full of sincerity. If so, then we agree to this gambling. How to arrange the gambling? Master Guangfa has a plan."

"Since there are ten contestants in your Fahua Temple, I think it's better to choose ten people to fight, and the one who wins more than five games will win in the end. This plan is the most simple. What do you think, Master Jing Nian?" Your side is most beneficial.

"The ten disciples of your Youlin Temple have already reached the level of two-star Bodhisattva, but our Fahua Temple only has six people with such strength. If this is the plan, what is the difference between our Fahua Temple and our Fahua Temple's direct surrender?" Jing Nian said directly retorted.

"Then what should Master say?" Guangfa asked directly.

"Since your Youlin Temple advocates simplicity, let's decide whether to win or lose. Both sides will send the strongest person. Win or lose depends on the battle!" Jing Nian proposed a more daring plan.

Guangfa did not directly reject the proposal of meditation.The ten disciples he brought are all very strong. If the winner is determined by ten matches, Youlin Chanyuan has the greatest chance of winning.But if it is just a battle to determine victory or defeat, the risk to Youlin Temple will be great.Although the ten disciples brought by Guangfa are all extremely powerful young masters, the strongest one is only at the peak of the two-star Bodhisattva, and there is still a long way to go before breaking through the three-star Bodhisattva.Although the hope of victory is great, it is not completely sure.

After the negotiation, several eminent monks of Youlin Temple felt that the plan based on World War I was too risky, and they all disagreed.Guangfa suggested: "This is an important competition involving ten disciples. It is a bit too childish to use a duel to decide the outcome. Even if there is no need to decide the winner in ten competitions, there should be a few more competitions so that most Everyone has a chance to play, so no matter whether they win or lose in the end, the ten participating disciples will not complain. Since your Fahua Temple has six two-star Bodhisattvas, why don't you compete five or six times? This plan should be more fair .”

The players from Youlin Temple were obviously better than the players from Fahua Temple. Even if only two-star Bodhisattva disciples were sent to the field, Fahua Temple's chances of winning were not great.Fahua Temple's hope of winning mainly rests with Liu Bo, but Youlin Temple doesn't know the news. Jing Nian must use this fact to strive for the most suitable competition plan for Fahua Temple.

Since it is not feasible to determine the outcome in a single battle, Jing Nian had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and proposed again: "Since the outcome is determined in a single battle, and you don't agree, then let's just compete with the overall strength. We each send six players to the field, and the loser withdraws." , the winner continues to fight, and the side that is still standing in the ring wins. What do you think?"

This is also a competition to test the overall strength, but it can let the strong players play a greater role. In this way of competition, Guangfa feels that his side should have greater hope of winning.

After discussing with several eminent monks, he said, "This plan is fair, and we have no objections."

Now that the plan has been discussed, the two parties came directly to the ring without delay.

There are only six two-star Bodhisattvas on Fahua Temple's side, so there is no need to think about who to play. Huike, No.6 in the competition, will take the lead.

The one sent by Youlin Temple was a dull monk in gray cloth monk's clothes. After the two were simple and polite, the competition began.

Monk Mu Na is an earth-type Buddhist cultivator, whether it is supernatural powers or accumulated mana, it should not be underestimated.He and Hui Ke are basically evenly matched, and it is difficult to see which one can win in the end.
