When Emperor Shanfa saw Yibu Lianhua, he was still sitting alone in the Buddhist hall, beating the wooden fish in front of him, with his hood on and his back to the door, like an unchanging Buddha statue in the temple.

Seeing that he was indeed safe, Emperor Shanfa finally felt relieved.

"Renwu has been brought here. What do you want him to do?"

Hearing this, the sound of the wooden fish stopped, and was replaced by Bu Yi Lianhua's own voice.

"The sword is nameless."

"I'm here."

"Do you know your origins?"

"The fate is unknown."

"When you first entered the All Saints Rock, you said you lost a sword?"

"……Yes."

That was a long time ago, so long that Jian Xue Wuming himself had almost forgotten about it. But when it was brought up again, he could remember it very clearly in his mind.

"What kind of sword is it?"

"It's a demon sword."

"Magic sword?!"

Emperor Shanfa was more excited than the other two. When Jianxue Wuming first entered Wansheng Rock, he only said that he had lost a sword. When questioned in detail, no one could get any information. At that time, everyone could see that Jianxue Wuming himself might have some problems with his memory. In addition, due to his special identity, he needed to meditate in seclusion, so in the end, the matter of the lost sword was left unresolved.

A swordsman lost his sword, which should be a very serious matter, but Jianxue Wuming was a swordsman who used only one sword. In addition to the unknown sword he lost, he also had a lotus sword, which was a sacred weapon of Buddhism.

Because Lian Jue was in hand, and Jian Xue Wuming did not say anything about his lost sword, other people did not pay much attention to it. It was not until today that Emperor Shanfa found out that what Jian Xue Wuming lost was actually a magic sword.

A magic sword is not a simple thing. Because of Jian Xue Wuming's identity and background, the magic sword may be related to Yi Lian's reincarnation.

After learning that it was a demon sword, Emperor Shanfa wanted to say something, but at this time Yibu Lianhua stood up, turned around and motioned him to calm down, and then continued to ask.

"What kind?"

"The blade is curved, shaped like a scimitar, red and white, and has its own identity."

"…We have never seen such a sword."

Knowing that Yi Bu Lian Hua would not ask such a question for no reason, asking Jian Xue Wu Ming's lost sword what it looked like indicated that this sword was related to the current situation. However, no matter how hard he thought about it, he could not remember that there was such a sword in the Liao Kingdom.

A sword shaped like a scimitar. Such a special magic sword should not be buried. Moreover, Jian Xue Wuming just said that the sword has self-awareness...

"We have indeed never seen a sword that looks like a scimitar, but we do have a red and white magic sword."

"The red and white one, the one that the Buddha-devouring boy has?"

In this case, the sword in the hands of the Buddha-Devouring Boy is also very special. The opponent did use sword moves, but the shape of the sword was more like a spear, with a very long handle, and the blade on top was indeed red and white.

"The Buddha-Swallowing Boy..."

This name stirred up waves in Jian Xue Wuming's heart. This should be the first time he heard this name, but he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity in his heart.

Jian Xue Wuming saw all the changes in his One Step Lotus Flower. He did not say anything about this reaction, but just added something about the sword in the hands of the Buddha-Devouring Boy after the King of Good Dharma.

"In my opinion, the Buddha-Swallowing Boy's sword has no scabbard. I don't know if it's because of its special shape or it was lost in the past."

"…I have the scabbard of the lost sword."

At this point, no matter how bizarre things are, some parts have already been connected.

Both of them are related to the reincarnation of Yilian. One is a fierce demon general, his demonic energy is weird and impure, and his origin is mysterious. The other is transformed by the black lotus, who was supposed to become a Buddhist and cultivate a saint. However, when he entered Wansheng Rock, there was still unknown demonic energy remaining.

And one of them lost a magic sword and only had the scabbard in his hand, while the other one was holding a magic sword but without the scabbard.

"Did you know this early on?"

These things were just discussed today, but before saying these, Yi Bu Lian Hua suggested bringing Jian Xue Wu Ming, and the weapon of the Buddha-devouring Boy had not been specifically mentioned before, but as soon as they met today, so many connections were listed.

Could it be that he knew what Jian Xue Wuming's lost sword looked like in the past, and after seeing the Buddha-Devouring Boy, he thought of Jian Xue Wuming?

"It's just an occasional guess."

It was only because of Jian Xue Wuming's special birth and the strangeness of the Buddha-Swallowing Boy that I thought of some things. Today was the first time I understood the relationship between the two people and the sword.

"The next Buddhist discussion will be held soon, and the three of us will go together then."

"Before I left, we hadn't yet discussed the next topic."

"After the emperor left, Ximietian came to see me."

Yibu Lianhua promised Emperor Shanfa not to act on his own, but just because he didn't go looking for the enemy didn't mean that the enemy wouldn't come looking for him.

Just as Emperor Shanfa worried when he left, Ximietianlai really took the initiative to cause trouble for Bu Bu Lianhua, but he did not choose to fight. He just made some sarcastic remarks, and then the two sides decided on the next topic of discussion.

The two men knew very well that if they really fought to the death, Son of Heavenly Law or Tunfo Boy would be of no use, but Yibu Lianhua and Ximie Tianlai had exactly equal strength. Yibu Lianhua had cultivated an immortal holy body, so Ximie Tianlai naturally had one as well. There was no winner in their fight, and in the end they would both perish.

"He really came to see you."

Prince Shanfa recalled the incident when he encountered Ximie Tianlai before he left. His feeling at that time was correct. In addition to trying to shake his mind with words, what the other party wanted most was to harass Yibu Lianhua.

However, there were no signs of fighting around the temple, and Yibu Lianhua was also safe. When I asked when I came here, the people I inquired about did not mention anything other than the debate, so there should not have been a major conflict between the two sides.

"You plan to let him face the Buddha-devouring boy directly in the debate arena?"

Jianxue Wuming indeed knew a lot of Zen principles, but as Ximie Tianlai's disciple, Tunfo Tongzi was full of twisted ideas. That demon general was too murderous, and because of his protective nature, Emperor Shanfa was always worried about him.

"The Buddha-devouring boy once said that he had seen a lotus reincarnate. The sword is nameless, and your lost sword and memory may be in the possession of this demon general."

Because of the hood, Jian Xue Wuming couldn't see Bu Yi Lianhua's expression, and the other person's tone of voice changed very little when he spoke, remaining unchanged throughout the ages.

But at least he understood that the other party was talking to him and asking for his opinion.

"Jianxue Wuming, I'm willing to give it a try."

If it is really the sword he lost, not only will the scabbard find its own blade, but his destiny and memories will also return one day.

"In that case, try to follow me when the time comes."

Firstly, with such a "big scene", the other side will definitely make fun of Jianxue Wuming, the newcomer, but Jianxue Wuming is too naive, and Shanfa Tianzi plans to keep a closer eye on him to prevent him from being led into a dead end by the bad-intentioned other side.

Emperor Shanfa always had an illusion that he was the only one who was constantly worrying about this and that, and he felt indescribably tired taking care of two people at the same time.

If Mr. Jidao were here, he would say to Emperor Shanfa with certainty, "No matter big or small, everyone is a tough guy. You are destined to a life of hard work."

……

At the beginning, the debate between Bu Bu Lian Hua and Xi Mie Tian Lai was on a small scale, with only four people in total, two debating and two waiting. When they reached a stalemate, the topic would turn to Shan Fa Tian Zi and Tun Fo Tong Zi.

Rather than discussing Buddhism, the four people were more like trying to persuade the enemy to surrender. The Buddha persuaded the devil to lay down his butcher knife, and the devil tried to lure the Buddha to join him. The two sides did not recognize each other, which led to a debate that would never end.

At this time, they didn't even have the scale to fight, so they just argued as they walked. When they got angry, they fought a few times, and then they just lived in peace with each other.

But as they passed through more and more places and more and more people gathered to watch and follow them, they began to pay attention to the venue, and some people even provided venues specifically for them. In this way, the Buddhist theory gradually turned into a "nation-wide" factional struggle.

Compared to others, these few people were truly "performing" in the Liao Kingdom. Some people watched, some people talked about it, and they captured 90% of the emotions within the Liao Kingdom.

Liu Qingyuan: I let them play freely, but I never expected they could perform like this.

Emperor Shanfa: As the proposer, I really didn’t expect this.

"Well, Zhu Yan?"

As the two sides looked at each other from a distance, the Buddha-Swallowing Boy felt that the sword in his hand had moved. It was just a slight tremor, but it was enough to attract the Buddha-Swallowing Boy's attention.

Although Zhu Yan is a magic sword with independent consciousness, it has always been very obedient and such unusual movements rarely occurred in the past. The only difference today is that there is one more person on the opposite side.

"Does it seem familiar to you too? That's really interesting."

When the Emperor Shanfa brought his men back, the Buddha-devouring Boy only glanced at the other's back from a distance. Although a sense of familiarity arose in his heart, it quickly disappeared.

Today they formally met to discuss Buddhism, but Zhu Yan actually reacted strangely because of this new person. He also remembered what Xi Mietian said when he came to find Yibu Lianhua, that was the things left behind by the reincarnation of Yilian. This fully aroused the interest of the Buddha-Swallowing Boy.

The Buddha-Swallowing Boy's memory of Yilian's reincarnation is a little vague. He and Jianxue Wuming have one very similar thing in that they both lost a piece of memory.

However, unlike Jianxue Wuming who did not know his own origins, what Swallowing Buddha Boy lost was the memory of his past life when he was walking in the world and then being carried by Ximie Tianlai.

The time of that disappearance was extremely vague. He only remembered that he had indeed traveled around the world, but the rest of his experiences were vague and he could not remember anything. It was as if his consciousness was trapped deep inside and someone was controlling his body to complete that period of his life.

Now that Zhu Yan has reacted, he feels a sense of familiarity in his heart. The Buddha-Swallowing Boy wants to see who this person is who has also seen the reincarnation of a lotus.

“…It’s my sword.”

Jian Xue Wuming followed behind the Emperor Shanfa. He saw the spear-like magic sword in the hand of the Buddha-Devouring Boy. Although its shape was different, it was indeed the one he lost. He would not make a mistake.

And the demon general holding this sword, familiar, a kind of familiarity that is hard to describe. It seems that they have known each other for a long time.

"It looks like this debate will have a conclusion soon."

Jian Xue Wuming's words confirmed his previous guess. The scabbard in his hand had been seen by Shanfa Tianzi. It was not an ordinary scabbard, but a scabbard made by a famous sword master. It could seal the evil spirit of the sword blade, and it was not native to the sword, but was specially made by later generations.

That is to say, the magic sword was sealed when it was in Jianxue Wuming's hands. Now it is unsealed in the hands of the Buddha-devouring Boy. To deal with him, one only needs to find a suitable opportunity to seal the sword back into the scabbard.

Without the sword, the Buddha-Swallowing Boy would no longer be a threat. Then they could capture him alive and study the origins of this demon general.

"Is there one more person?"

"Yeah, who is that?"

Among the people watching from the outside were old hands who had been waiting for a long time, as well as newcomers who came because of the reputation. When they saw that there was one more of the rumored four, some people began to speculate about the identity of the new person.

However, due to the limited vision of ordinary people, they can only identify who is who by the color of their clothes, which leads to the strange pattern of using colors to represent people in rumors.

Fortunately, there is no overlap in color among the five people, so they are avoided from being confused in rumors and developing into even more outrageous stories.

"Is this what you called the remnant of Yilian?"

When the two sides got closer, Ximie Tianlai also saw Jian Xue Wuming clearly. He was indeed special, but if he wanted to break through this person, it would not be enough to rely on the Buddhist sacred weapon in the other party's hand.

Apart from the opposite colors to those in front, Ximie Tianlai did not pull the brim of his hat down as low as Yibu Lianhua, nor did he keep his mouth and eyes closed all the time. The brim of his hat only reached his eyes, and others could occasionally see his eyes under the hood.

However, compared to the solemn and majestic appearance of Yibu Lianhua, the hideous tattoos on Ximie Tianlai's face made him look even more ferocious. It was clearly the same face, but it looked different on the two people.

"Drag others into the water, is this the saint's plan?"

"It's fate that brings us together."

"Destiny? Did destiny tell you that Buddha can become a demon?"

The existence of the two aspects of Buddha and devil, and whether such existence is really reasonable, has always been a topic of discussion among them.

Yilian Tuosheng is a friend of Bu Bu Lianhua. Ximie Tianlai naturally has memories of this friend. He looked at Jianxue Wuming and asked him.

"New swordsman, what's your name?"

At the very beginning, the enemy suddenly mentioned him. Jian Xue Wuming answered cautiously after making sure that the other party would not suddenly attack him.

"The sword is nameless."

"Since it is nameless, how can it be named?"

"As long as there is snow and a sword, it can be used naturally."

"Who started it?"

"No comment."

In fact, even Jianxue Wuming himself could not remember where his name came from, but he was sure that the one who gave him this name was not Yilian Reincarnation, nor any other Buddhist saint he had met before.

He has been using this name without deliberately pursuing it, nor has he ever explored the meaning of "nameless".

"Where did the sword come from?"

"The sword is in my hand."

“Where does snow come from?”

"Snow falls from the sky."

"Yilian's reincarnation left behind a good seedling."

Ximie Tianlai used his hand to lift the long hair on his forehead. There was no flaw in the answer of Jianxue Wuming. In terms of comprehension, he was indeed a good seedling. No wonder the Emperor Shanfa had been protecting him all along.

Rather than the name, the Buddha-devouring boy beside him saw the Lotus Sutra in Jianxue Wuming's hand, another sacred Buddhist weapon. He suspected that Zhu Yan's abnormality might also come from the pure and holy Buddhist aura on the sword.

Apart from the complex shape and the scabbard decorated with a large number of gems, the sword in Jian Xue Wuming's hand is extremely thick and heavy, and does not look like a sword that can hurt people.

"What is the name of this sword?"

"Lianju."

"Oh, so it's named '谳' and it's also a sword that slays demons and eliminates sins?"

Lianyan is a name that fits the identity of this sacred Buddhist artifact.

"This sword is not used to kill."

However, Jian Xue Wuming's answer surprised the Buddha-devouring Boy.

"If you don't kill, and don't hurt your enemies, how can you be a sword?"

"If a man wields a sword and kills someone, what is the sin of the sword?"

"How can you be innocent if your sword helps someone kill someone?"

"A sword can kill, but it can also save. A sword is neither good nor evil. It is up to the person holding it to decide."

"Swords are neither good nor evil. So, in your opinion, what do you think of this sword?"

As he spoke, the Buddha-Swallowing Boy raised the Zhuyan in his hand and placed it between the two sides. Since the other party said that swords have no good or evil, then what should he say about the magic sword in his hand?
