Shanyuan Temple is located in Xishan, Shanyuan City. It is a famous ancient temple with great popularity.

However, most ordinary people who come here don't know that this place is still an ancient martial arts force.

The presiding Yuanfa of Shanyuan Temple is a master of Huajian Dzogchen. He practices in the back mountain and does not care about worldly affairs.

But even such a person was still brutally murdered.

Even this ancient temple was almost destroyed.

Externally, it was an unexpected fire.

But everyone in the know knows what is going on.

When Xiao Chen and Xue Chunqiu came here and looked at the ruins, they felt uneasy.

There were several monks in gray robes cleaning up the ruins, looking a little tired.

"Let's go to the back mountain."

Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze and said to Xue Chunqiu.

"good."

Xue Chunqiu nodded.

"Monk Yuan Pharaoh of Shanyuan Temple is different from Zhao Tulai. He is a real monk. He doesn't care about worldly affairs and devotes himself to cultivating Buddhism... I didn't expect that he would end up like this."

"So... the Dragon Palace must be destroyed."

Xiao Chen said coldly.

"Yes, it should be destroyed."

Xue Chunqiu's eyes were also cold. If he hadn't come this time, he would not have known that something happened to Shanyuan Temple.

The two of them talked and walked towards the back mountain.

"Two donors, the back mountain is a Buddhist retreat place..."

A monk stopped the two of them and clasped his hands together.

"Let's find the ghost Buddha."

Xiao Chen said to the monk.

Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the monk's eyes flashed with vigilance, looking for a ghost Buddha?

"We are friends, not enemies. He told me that."

Xiao Chen noticed the monk's gaze and said something else.

"You two, please come with me."

The monk nodded and walked towards the back mountain with Xiao Chen and Xue Chunqiu.

When Xiao Chen arrived at the back mountain, he saw a small temple.

However, this small temple is now in dilapidated condition.

There was a yellow-robed monk cleaning the house with a broom.

He heard the noise and looked up.

When he saw Xiao Chen and Xue Chunqiu, he couldn't help but be startled, then smiled, stepped forward and clasped his hands: "Donor Xue, Donor Xiao, you are here."

"Master Hongyuan."

Xiao Chen looked at the yellow-robed monk and was a little surprised. Monk Hongyuan?

When they returned from the island country, the great monk Hongyuan also came to China and traveled around with the ghost Buddha Zhao Tathagata.

Unexpectedly, he is still here today.

"Where is the old monk?"

Xue Chunqiu nodded and asked.

"Amitabha, Almsgiver Xue, you are well."

An old Buddha's call was heard, and the ghost Buddha Zhao Tulai's figure appeared outside the door.

Xue Chunqiu looked at the ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai and suddenly frowned, showing a bit of surprise: "You have a breakthrough? Have you stepped into the innate world?"

Hearing Xue Chunqiu's words, Xiao Chen was also startled. Has the old monk stepped into the innate world?

He looked at the ghost Buddha Zhao Tulai attentively and felt it carefully, it seemed... it was really an innate aura.

This shocked his heart. Did he really step into the innate world?

"Haha, no, it's just another step taken, closer to innateness."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai chuckled and shook his head.

"You two, come in and talk."

"Take another step..."

Xue Chunqiu was very uneasy. He had the same strength as the ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai, and he was also struggling to find a way to enter the innate world. But this old monk actually took another step?

Following the ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai, he entered the small temple and sat on the futon.

Xiao Chen looked around and saw an ancient bluestone Buddha directly in front of him.

However, this ancient Buddha has been damaged, with half of its body broken.

"Old monk, what's going on?"

Xue Chunqiu was not in the mood to look around, looked at the ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai and asked.

"The reason lies in this Buddha."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Ru said this and bowed to the ancient Buddha.

At this time, Xue Chunqiu noticed the broken ancient Buddha and frowned. On this Buddha?

"What do you mean? Don't tell me that this Buddha has appeared and taught you great power so that you can avenge him."

When Xue Chunqiu said this, he felt a little ridiculous.

"That's not..."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai shook his head and looked at Xiao Chen.

"Did Xiaoyou see anything?"

After hearing the words of Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai, Xiao Chen got up, approached the ancient Buddha, and started to run the 'Chaos Art' to feel it carefully.

Immediately afterwards, he was slightly shaken. What kind of energy is this?

It’s similar to the island country, where the shrines and statues are full of energy, with the power of the soul and the power of faith.

The ancient Buddha in front of me also has similar energy.

"This is...the power of faith?"

Xiao Chen looked at the ghost Buddha Zhao Tulai and asked.

"Um."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Tulai nodded.

"Yes, it is the power of faith."

"..."

Xiao Chen was surprised, could this old monk absorb the power of faith?

Seemingly aware of Xiao Chen's surprise, Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai explained: "Maybe it's because of the same origin. The old monk didn't expect it at first, but when he touched this ancient Buddha, he still felt something abnormal... In the final analysis, it's also

Because what you did in the island country inspired the old monk, so I tried to absorb it, but I didn’t expect it to work.”

"Let me try."

Xue Chunqiu said, putting his hand on the ancient Buddha and turning his mind.

Ghost Buddha Zhao Tulai didn't stop him either. He felt that Xue Chunqiu could not succeed.

In fact, it was the same. Xue Chunqiu quickly frowned. He didn't feel anything.

Oh, no, he felt a chill.

But what the hell... this ancient Buddha is made of stone. What stone is not cold?

"The old monk feels that this is actually a small cave, or there may be a formation... The power of faith in Shanyuan Temple will be absorbed here, and absorbed by this ancient Buddha! Unfortunately, Yuanfa is no longer there, so we can't know him.

Do you also absorb the power of faith? However, the aura in this small temple is obviously richer than the surroundings."

Ghost Buddha Zhao Tulai said.

"Although this place has been destroyed, the formation seems to have not been destroyed..."

After hearing what Ghost Buddha Zhao Rulai said, Xiao Chen and Xue Chunqiu felt it, and it was true that the spiritual energy was quite strong.

"Master, how do you feel after absorbing the power of faith?"
