Chapter 328: Bodhidharma Cave (1)

"Zhu Yuanliang, have you seen Xiaoqi?"

Early the next morning, Chen Shuqing got up and wanted to go to Pu Zixuan's room as usual to say hello, but saw that the room was closed tightly. After knocking on the door a few times, no one answered. He suddenly felt something was so strange.

Originally, even if Pu Zixuan slept in or went outdoors to do it, it was normal. It was impossible for him to appear in the room on time every morning. However, since Pu Zixuan came back from Huike with a lonely face last night and conveyed what he saw to his companions, Chen Shuqing felt his extreme depression. Although he comforted him, he still did not show a smile. He was not in the room early this morning, so he tried to search for his breath. As a result, Pu Zixuan even disappeared without a trace. His heart suddenly reached his throat and had to hurriedly knock on Zhu Yuanliang's door to ask.

Zhu Yuanliang was woken up by Chen Shuqing's voice, and got up sleepily and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, Chen Shuqing asked in a panic: "Did you see Xiaoqi?"

Zhu Yuanliang's eyes were still half open and he said absent-mindedly: "I didn't see it...are you a monster? Why don't you directly explore his breath?"

Chen Shuqing said with a sad face: "Oh, if that method works, do I have to come and ask you in person? I have visited it, but I can't find it."

Zhu Yuanliang then became serious, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "The breath of purifying power disappeared... Well, then, there are only three possibilities."

“What are the three possibilities?”

"The first possibility is that he is next to the little tree."

Chen Shuqing shook her head: "I have been to Xiaoshu's room, no one."

"The second possibility is that he went to Zhongyue Temple. Didn't Su Sanniang say that there are many small-leaf red bean trees in Zhongyue Temple?"

Chen Shuqing still shook her head: "I hope so, but it is unlikely. It will take half an hour to go to Zhongyue Temple. When will it be? He won't set off before dawn?"

Zhu Yuanliang said without changing his expression: "Then, it can only be the third possibility: he is already dead."

"You...bah, bah, bah!" Chen Shuqing was so angry that she punched Zhu Yuanliang in the chest, "Isn't he your childhood friend? How could you curse him like this?"

"Tsk, how could I curse him? I'm just doing an academic analysis." Zhu Yuanliang showed his innocent face, but he said with a sarcasm, "You know: the greater the disappointment, the greater the happiness once the worst situation does not happen."

Chen Shuqing gave Zhu Yuanliang a blank look and said, "Okay, I won't talk to you more, I'd better go and ask Abbot Huiyuan."

In the backyard, Yu Xiangdi, who also got up early in the morning, was practicing the sword technique of demon control, and Huiyuan was also watching. After the display of a set of sword techniques, Yu Xiangdi made a stop gesture and bowed, "Master, what do you think?"

"Well..." Huiyuan was thinking, and before he could comment, he suddenly heard Chen Shuqing calling him.

Huiyuan looked in the direction where the sound came. Seeing Chen Shuqing and Zhu Yuanliang, who were flustered, walking towards him, he turned his attention to both of them.

When he arrived in front of Huiyuan, Chen Shuqing hurriedly asked, "Master Abbot, have you seen where Pu Zixuan went?"

Huiyuan smiled slightly, "Master Chen can't find the breath of Awakening Star?"

"That's right." Chen Shuqing felt a sense of clarity when she saw Huiyuan's expression was very calm, "The abbot asked, must he know where he is now?"

Huiyuan comforted, "Haha, I know, don't worry, please follow me."

After hearing Huiyuan's statement, Chen Shuqing's heart was finally relieved. After breathing a sigh of relief, he gave Zhu Yuanliang a blank look: "Are you dead?"

"Hehe." Zhu Yuanliang smiled awkwardly, and felt relieved. He stopped talking and followed Huiyuan out from the north gate of Shaolin Temple with Chen Shuqing.

After leaving the mountain gate, walking up the mountain path, you will reach Wurushan. About three feet below the top of the peak is the natural cave in which the Zen ancestor Bodhidharma faced the wall for nine years. Later generations called the "Bodhidharma Cave" or "Bodhidharma Face Cave".

There are more than one person in this cave, less than two people tall, and the width can accommodate two people entering, but the depth is more than two meters. From the outside, you can't see it at a glance. Pu Zixuan and his party have visited here before, so Chen Shuqing and Zhu Yuanliang are not unfamiliar with them.

However, the opening of the cave was always open before, but at this time, a stone slab covered most of the opening, leaving only a small gap.

When he was about five feet away from the Bodhidharma Cave, Chen Shuqing couldn't help but sigh: "Oh my God, is Xiaoqi really in the Bodhidharma Cave? Master Abbot, is it the practice plan you arranged for him?"

"No." Huiyuan stopped and shook his head, "At about a few minutes last night, Juexing suddenly came to find me, with a very depressed expression. He said that he was unwilling to help Huike during the day and could not sleep well. He knelt on the ground and worshiped me as his teacher, saying that he thought of facing the wall and thinking about his mistakes in this cave of Dharma."

Zhu Yuanliang said in confusion: "Hasn't he already worshipped you as his teacher?"

"Yesterday afternoon, Juexing disliked me that I could not teach him quick martial arts. He said that my lessons arranged were too boring and he regretted it again, haha." Huiyuan smiled bitterly and sighed, "Oh, to be honest, I also hoped that I could teach him short-term quick secrets. Unfortunately, I am not a purifier and do not have the ability to teach him more things, so I had to cultivate his spirit. In fact, even if those things didn't happen yesterday, I had thoughts and hope that Juexing could come to this Damo Cave to experience it."

Chen Shuqing said with great emotion: "It seems that the bad news between Huike and Yan Xin has hit him too hard. Looking back on our journey, we have experienced too many separations of life and death. However, whether it is Xichen's death or Jenny's death, he has tried his best to save it, but he has no choice but to be able to overcome the conscience level. However, if we don't save him... it seems that this is the first time."

Zhu Yuanliang also said: "Yes, when we were fighting the werewolf in Lijiang, this guy's purification power had not yet awakened, and he rushed over to save us like a naughty man. However, yesterday he faced the quasi-demon emperor who was several times stronger than him. He would make such a decision, and no one would blame him. Why did he suffer?"

Huiyuan said: "Because of this, I comforted him last night, but he still insisted on coming to this Damo Cave. I thought that this happened to suit the mind-cultivation lessons I designed for him, so I responded. This is also a good thing. You must know that only by saving yourself can you save others, and only by consciously can you awaken him. Juexing made this decision, which means that he is still very intelligent. Only changes from the heart can be real changes..."

Chen Shuqing glanced at the entrance of the cave and said worriedly: "But it's winter now, and the weather will be colder every day. At least, I want to add some clothes to him, okay?"

Huiyuan smiled slightly: "I fully understand the mood of Mr. Chen, but Juexing's body is not afraid of the cold. I suggest not disturbing him. I kept two oil lamps for him. As for food and water, I will send someone to deliver it on time every day, so don't worry."

Chen Shuqing asked again: "So, has he ever said how long should he face the wall in this cave?"

Huiyuan replied: "You can't say that everything must start from his heart. He feels that it will be convenient for him to come out whenever he will come out. But he has also promised me that he will come out on time to participate in the Eternal Night Competition on time no matter what."

"That's good." Chen Shuqing smiled, "Speaking of all, this Xiaoqi has been used to being extravagant lives. It's a relief to me to make such a decision now... Then, let's not disturb him."

"But, is this place safe? Even if there is a stone slab that can block the attack of wild beasts, what if his purifying power is a monster..." Zhu Yuanliang was worried for a while, suddenly thought of something, and then laughed at himself, "Look at my memory... Why does this place make his purifying power unable to be sensed? What is the special thing about this stone slab?"

"Haha, this cave can be isolated from the breath, not because of the stone slabs." Huiyuan said solemnly, "If there is a place in the world that can be isolated from the breath of magic power without relying on small-leaf red beans or small-leaf red sandalwood, I'm afraid the only one is the Damo Cave."

Chen Shuqing thought that the water of Poyang Lake also had this ability, but it was not convenient to mention it at this time, so she curiously said: "Why is this happening?"
