Chapter 359 Conflict
Although he was very interested in the Jade Buddha Temple, Yan Xu, who was alone and weak, gave up all the thoughts. The risks brought by curiosity and greed were not something he could bear at the moment.
With the idea of being cautious, Yan Xu didn't even plan to stay in Shiyu County any longer because he had spent too long here.
As a Taoist priest, and one who seemed to be short of money, instead of going out to make a living, he stayed in a Buddhist place for so long. He must have ulterior motives or some other intentions, so Yan Xu left that day.
Thinking that the trip would not be in vain, Yan Xu spent a dime to buy a piece of unpolished jade before leaving, intending to kill time on the road and try his luck, but he didn't know that this would cause him a lot of trouble.
Yan Xu thought he was low-key, but he didn't know that he was reported by the waiter the next day. Because in the eyes of the knowledgeable waiter, there were too many suspicious things about him, from head to toe, from his clothes to his behavior habits, the waiter could talk about everything that was wrong for half a day.
Moreover, the merchants in the jade shops were not easy to deal with. Yan Xu pretended to be unintentional in asking them all, so when the people from the Jade Buddha Temple came over and asked him, they sold him out for everything.
It would have been fine if he had just left. For the Jade Buddha Temple, there were not too many people like him, but Yan Xu went to the trouble of buying a piece of raw jade before leaving.
The people who were watching him checked and found that the raw jade came from Shifo Kiln, but it did not come from a formal channel, that is, it was stolen.
There were quite a few similar incidents in Shiyu County, but just as Yan Xu didn't believe in coincidences, the other party didn't believe in them either, and so trouble came.
"I'm lucky. It turns out to be top-grade jade." Although he was weak, he had a solid foundation. Yan Xu easily held the basketball-sized raw stone in one hand and pinched the sword formula with the other. He used the pure magic power generated after getting started with Nong Wan to drive the flying sword, causing the Xin Jin Sword to revolve around the raw stone like a fish, cutting off a piece of stone from time to time, revealing the jade-like material, which was not light, enough to be the size of a human head.
Such a large and high-quality jade material is worth a lot of money both in this world and in the real world. No wonder Yan Xu is so happy.
"Leave the jade behind!" With a loud shout, three burly men jumped out from somewhere, spread out skillfully and surrounded Yan Xu. It was obvious that they had done this many times.
In fact, Yan Xu had already discovered the other party a long time ago and put away his flying sword, waiting for them to take action. However, he didn't know why the other party came, whether they were attracted by the money or had other intentions.
The former is not so bad, there is no place where the earth does not bury people, killing and burying is not a big deal, but if it is the latter.
"If the three lay Buddhists want it, you can take it." Yan Xu obediently put the jade in his hand on the ground, took a few steps back and said.
The other party's cooperation made the three men stunned. The one who looked the youngest among them walked very fast and came to the jade in a flash. Then, without bending his waist or moving his body, he tiptoed and the jade weighing more than ten pounds fell into his hand. Then he came to the leading man without looking back.
The whole process was quick and neat, without any drag. In the Ming Dynasty world, he would be at least a second-rate master, but here such a master can only do errands.
"Brother Fayuan." The young man placed the jade in front of the leading man as if he were presenting a treasure.
"Well, well done." Fayuan nodded, then injected his magic power into the jade material, and a clear spiritual energy immediately emanated from the jade material.
Yan Xu's face changed, and the three men's eyes were full of ferocity. There was no need for nonsense or explanation, and both sides attacked at the same time.
Although the introduction to Nong Wan made Yan Xu miserable, it allowed him to cross a major realm and directly generate extremely pure magic power, which was very effective in driving incense and magic tools. Therefore, even if he did not practice the sword technique, the Xinjin Sword would still arrive first.
"Oh no, it's a sword cultivator!" The sharp sword light frightened Fayuan so much that his hair stood on end. He had no time to react. Fortunately, the bracelet made of eight prayer beads given to him by his master emitted a ray of Buddha's light, which deflected the Xinjin sword that was flying with a cold light, but one of his own beads was also shattered.
"Run!" Fayuan, who was leaning against the Jade Buddha Temple, had no intention of fighting the other side. As long as he could return alive, the elders would come and take control of him. There was no need for the three of them to fight desperately. The decisiveness of the three caught Yan Xu off guard. In the blink of an eye, the three of them ran more than ten feet away, especially Fayuan. He was flying close to the ground with Buddha's light all over his body. This was not running, but flying too low. There was no time to stop him.
Yan Xu had no choice but to use his sword to cut off the legs of the young man who was holding on to the jade material, leaving only one person alive.
After using some means to interrogate the other party, Yan Xu did not dare to stay any longer. He killed the other party with a sword, turned around with the jade material, and ran away.
But running like this was too slow, and there was no time to deal with the footprints left behind. Yan Xu was anxious and didn't care about his merits, so he quickly chose a Disha technique.
He wanted to choose the invisible one, but he didn't have enough merit to upgrade it to minor success. Just the entry level might not be enough to hide from the people in the Jade Buddha Temple, so he gritted his teeth and chose the staff solution.
The method of corpse liberation can be used to practice using objects to carry people and fly in the air. Combined with the method of corpse liberation, it can make an object take over the form, and in a flash, one has become a real person.
Ordinary items can carry people flying, so the effect of magic weapons will naturally be better. Moreover, the incense and magic weapons are completely under his control, so there is no need for sacrifices. After a moment, Yan Xu stepped on the Xinjin sword and broke through the air. This time he really flew low.
By the time Fayuan arrived with a middle-aged monk with half of his arm exposed and muscles bulging like balls, he was nowhere to be seen.
"Junior brother!" Fayuan screamed and hurriedly picked up the young man who had already died.
"It seems that he is really a sword cultivator." Kong Ming touched the broken leg of his youngest disciple. The smooth broken bone allowed him to make a judgment, and then he frowned.
Sword cultivators are never easy to offend, and he doesn’t remember any sword cultivator enemies in the Jade Buddha Temple.
"Tell me what happened. Don't leave out a single detail." After kicking the disciple who had been howling for a long time without shedding a single tear, Kong Ming said impatiently.
"Okay, Master." Fayuan quickly stood up and told the whole story without hiding anything.
"Bad luck!" Kong Ming didn't realize it was a misunderstanding when he heard it.
It was just a misunderstanding. There would be no trouble if the person was killed. But the other party was not only a swordsman, but also ran away, which made Kongming feel troubled.
Sword cultivators can be said to be the best killers among cultivators. Although their methods are limited, they have developed an indestructible sword intent due to their specialization, and are said to be able to break all methods with one sword.
The most important thing is that the sword cultivator's tough character makes him unable to tolerate any humiliation and he is known for his revenge, which means that this matter is not over yet.
"Go back!" But the person had already left, and Kongming had no choice but to go back and see if there was any other way.
But Yan Xu was extremely cautious. Not only did he shave his head, he didn't even use bedding. The people at the Jade Buddha Temple had to put the matter aside for the time being.
