Chapter 100: Stand

"Do Buddhist Gold Immortals have dual primordial spirits?"
Xu Hao was suddenly overjoyed, unexpectedly gaining an important point of knowledge.
So it seems that there is a greater possibility for Shen Xiu to have two spiritual bodies.
Or maybe I "copied" Shen Xiu's strongest Yuan Shen? Or maybe I randomly chose this Black Stone Yuan Shen? ... Xu Hao pondered carefully, and couldn't judge for a moment.
But no matter what, Shengxiu's identity has been narrowed down to the range of "Buddhist Golden Immortal".
Xu Hao thought and thought, feeling like he was in a dead end again.
Because Shengxiu displayed the "Buddha Mother Peacock" and claimed to be Buddha Mother Peacock Great Mingwang Bodhisattva. And indeed, the status of this Bodhisattva is also "Buddhist Golden Immortal"...
徐昊来到这个世界，结合自身西游知识，以及奉仙司里闲聊八卦的知识，已经大概知道三界修行体系的品级。
神仙之上是天仙，天仙之上是金仙。
"Golden Immortal" refers to the peak state of a cultivator achieving immortality. It is divided into three grades:
Low-grade Taiyi Golden Immortal, medium-grade Daluo Golden Immortal, and high-grade Hunyuan Wuji Golden Immortal;
Of course, although there are these three grades, they are not often mentioned as high, medium, and low. Generally speaking, they are referred to as Taiyi, Daluo, and Hunyuan Wuji by default.
Golden immortals are the ultimate limit of cultivation. If one wants to go further, they can only seize the great fortune of the Dao and step into the realm of a saintly supreme.
But this is impossible!
The Three Pure Ones and the Three Buddha Ancestors will not grant it, and no one can seize it...
Therefore, in the three realms, the Golden Immortals have reached the end, and they can satisfy their desire for immortality and freedom by sharing the "Pan Tao," "Nine Transformation Immortal Pill," "Nirvana Gold Liquid," "Human Fruit" ... They will continue to cycle like this lifetime after lifetime...
As far as Xuhao knows, there are quite a few in the Buddhist community who can be called "Golden Immortals."
In addition to the Three Buddhas and the original disciples of the Buddha, nearly half of the Ten Great Bodhisattvas and the Eighteen Arhats are almost all Golden Immortals. At most, there are different grades and rankings based on their strength.
If Xu Hao suspects that Shen Xiu is not the "Peacock Mother", then he needs to conduct a screening within this approximate range...
It's a deadlock, a complete deadlock... Xu Hao shook his head and didn't intend to bother with it.
Anyway, it's already autumn and it will soon be the end of the year. When the time comes, I will participate in the Buddhist Ullambana Festival, and everything will be clear and transparent!
Xu Hao feels that he shouldn't be entangled with Shen Xiu's identity.
Regardless, in the current situation, he and this talented senior brother are allies and are in a delicate "honeymoon period"...
Not to mention, he also holds the opponent's black stone soul. And the stronger the opponent is, the stronger the reciprocal benefit he receives.
Where to find such a good thing?
So after Xu Hao laughed at himself, he completely let go of this entanglement and started thinking about the next arrangement.
After chatting for a while on the Peach Leaf of Pan Tao Ling, Cheng Yaojin and others said goodbye and left in a hurry, as if they all had urgent matters to attend to.
However, fortunately, Cheng Yaojin still cared about Xu Hao and said before leaving:
"Kid, Luozhou might not be peaceful recently! Take care of yourself! Baoping Temple is going to suffer, you better stay away..."
After speaking, the Peach Blossom Spirit Leaf became empty and all disappeared.
Xu Hao retracted his magical power and put the Spirit Leaf into the Jade Clean Bottle, then he gulped down a big sip of tea to alleviate his mood.
WARNING: Cheng Yaojin's departure warning was not a joking matter, but a serious prediction.
The Crown Prince plans to take action against the Baoping Temple... Xu Hao's mind starts to process this imminent event.
From an emotional and logical perspective, his position must inevitably stand with Baoping Temple, standing on the side of Shengxiu.
Moreover, he just had a fight with Huanghu last night. This is equivalent to completely offending the Crown Prince Party, with no room for compromise.
Xu Hao slowly sipped his tea, his thoughts swirling.
The current issue is whether I have the ability to stand with Shen Xiu... The Crown Prince is the "Great Emperor in the Gou Chen Palace", one of the Four Imperial Guardians. If we were to forcibly attack the Bao Ping Temple, it would even seem a bit like bullying the weak with strength.
After all, in Xu Hao's opinion, although Baoping Temple is mysterious, it is not powerful enough.
Master Xianshou is a member of the "Buddha Party". I don't know if his fellow brothers in the Buddhist sect will come to help.
But no matter what, this divine battle is inevitable...
Xu Hao is even somewhat curious about how the Prince fought with the Baoping Temple. Could it be that in front of everyone's eyes, in front of countless ordinary people, a group of incarnations were fighting with magical powers?
If that were the case, Baoping Temple and several streets next to it would probably be destroyed.
Xu Hao thinks it's impossible. After all, Luozhou is a former capital of the previous dynasty, and the Yanshou Festival is about to be held. If they smash half of Luozhou in advance, how can these immortals handle the situation?
If being direct doesn't work, then we can only resort to being covert... an assassination operation? Just like last time with the Ruyi Fairy, sneak into the temple quietly and directly target Shenxiu's head?
Xu Hao was pondering various possibilities when suddenly a flash of fire erupted outside the courtyard, followed swiftly by a gust of wind as something quickly descended.
Red fire flashed, and Zhang Shenyi stepped out.
"Master!"
Zhang Shenyi bowed in salute and said solemnly, "Zhang Liang, the governor, and two commanders have been ordered to dispatch patrol soldiers to the Baojing Temple. It is estimated that there will be some dispute."
Xu Hao had arranged these disciples and confidants long ago, keeping a close eye on the Treasure Bottle Temple. It was not surprising at this moment when Zhang Shenjie came to report.
He looked at Zhang Shenjie and couldn't help but laugh, "Zhang Liang is your father in this life, so you should show some respect."
Zhang Shenxie smirked and said, "After awakening, I have become indifferent to this matter. Besides, I am just a concubine's son, and Zhang Liang has never shown any concern for us, my mother and me."
Xu Hao did not pursue the topic any further and stood up, saying:
"Do Bai Yu, Jin Chi, and Hei Pu have any information?"
"Report to the mentor, the Bureau of Immortality has already sent people to Baoping Temple, just waiting for the mentor to take charge."
......
No words along the way.
Xu Hao joined the Bureau of Immortality and others, quickly arriving outside Baoping Temple.
Under the dark night, the temple is already surrounded by troops from the Tang Dynasty. A large number of torches are burning fiercely, and there are weapons everywhere.
Facing the entrance of the Treasure Vase Temple, several chairs have been set up.
Several familiar officials from Luozhou, including Xu Hao, are all present.
Governor Zhang Liang, Right Commander Song Lianren, and Deputy Commander Xue Yi, three influential government officials, along with the Imperial Crown Prince's followers Baihu and Huanghu, a total of five people, gathered together.
Meanwhile, at the Baoping Temple, only Abbot Facheng and a young novitiate stood silently in front of the temple gate, facing this sudden invasion.
"By the order of the Crown Prince, Yishui Buddhist platform has suffered from the trampling of a rooster raised by Baoping Temple, defiling the image of the Yanshou Buddha! Therefore, I have come here to seal off the mountain gate and punish those responsible for their negligence in management! Further, search and capture the rooster, and execute it as a warning to others!"
Huang Hu took another step forward and unfolded a decree-like order in front of Master Facheng, reading it out loud.
Master Facheng remained calm, as if he hadn't heard anything. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly looked up and saw Xu Hao approaching, causing him to smile slightly and greet him with a clasped hand gesture.
Sitting in front of the temple, Bai Hu, the governor Zhang Liang, and the two commanders all turned their heads to look.
"The case of the Buddha's altar is solely under the jurisdiction of my Ministry of Offerings to Immortals. Why would the Crown Prince from the East Palace need to intervene? Hm?"
徐昊含笑近前，眼光掠过在场的几位大员。
宝瓶寺外整个氛围由于徐昊的到来，顿时显得压抑，呈现出剑拔弩张。
甚至几位大员，包括白虎和黄虎在内，居然全都没有说话，表现出惊讶和诧异神色。
Because behind Xu Hao, standing in order are Zhang Shenjie, Fang Baiyu, Hei Pu, Jin Chi, Wu Lun and other trusted subordinates.
In addition, a dark and silent black team of nearly two hundred members.
Phew~~
A gust of wind blew by, and beneath the masks of each black-robed figure, revealed the horrifying visage of a monster.
