#204 - The first standard magic weapon, the Soul-Breaking Bow

Seeing the slightly strange look in Qin Changqing's eyes, Grandmaster Zhicang put his palms together and said, "Vice Alliance Master, please don't mind. Buddhism focuses on cultivating the mind. The reason I do this is to temper my disciples' minds and make their future cultivation path smoother. Besides, Buddhism also has the Joyful Zen, which also needs to be passed down, otherwise, how can we strengthen the incense of my Bafang Temple!"

Hehe, you old bald… Monk, as expected of the abbot of Bafang Temple, you are full of tricks to fool people.

Qin Changqing didn't bother to care about how other sects acted. He also understood that these female cultivators were prepared for him, just to add some spiritual root descendants to Bafang Temple.

After all, even for cultivators, blood relatives are still the most trustworthy.

At the banquet, Grandmaster Zhicang probably heard from Yu Luosha that Qin Changqing was proficient in Buddhist principles, and immediately couldn't help but pull Qin Changqing to talk about Buddhism and Taoism, attracting the attention of the entire hall.

Qin Changqing was really annoyed by this old monk's words. He is not a monk, so what kind of Buddhism should he discuss with you.

He simply asked directly, "May I ask Grandmaster Zhicang, which came first, Buddha or man?"

This sentence immediately stunned everyone present.

Grandmaster Huijue's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he couldn't help but exclaimed, "Vice Alliance Master is so powerful, how should this sentence be answered?"

A disciple next to him asked in confusion, "Master, is there anything wrong with this sentence?"

Huijue's face showed a look of amazement, and he explained: "This sentence seems simple, but it is full of traps and Zen, and no answer is correct. If you say that man came first, then the Vice Alliance Master can answer that the Buddha once said that man is Buddha, and Buddha is man. Man is the future Buddha, and Buddha is the past man. Since the Buddha said that man himself is Buddha, then how can you say that man is before and Buddha is after?"

The disciple frowned and said, "Then what if you say that Buddha came first and man came after?"

Huijue shook his head and said, "That's even more wrong. Before man was enlightened, let alone cultivation, he was even no different from a beast. Even things like writing and language were created step by step. Cultivators are born from mortals, so how can you say that Buddha is before and man is after?"

The disciple was a little unconvinced: "Then what if I say that man and Buddha exist at the same time?"

Huijue smiled bitterly and said, "That still won't work. Since the Vice Alliance Master raised this question, it means that Buddha and man must have a sequence. If you say that they exist at the same time, it is equivalent to abandoning this question and directly admitting defeat."

In the treasure hall, there was a burst of discussion. Some disciples who didn't understand also understood under the explanation of their masters, and their eyes towards Qin Changqing were suddenly filled with awe.

Grandmaster Zhicang frowned and pondered for a long time before smiling bitterly and putting his palms together: "Vice Alliance Master's Buddhist principles are profound, I am not as good as you!"

Qin Changqing smiled and took a sip from his wine glass, thinking, now it's quiet, right! Can't I deal with you?!

The question of whether Buddha came first or man came first is itself a paradox, just like the question of whether the chicken or the egg came first in the previous life, and no conclusion can be drawn at all.

After this Buddhist debate, the news that Qin Changqing was proficient in Buddhism quickly spread throughout the Bafang Temple. The monks who were originally not very interested in Qin Changqing were immediately shocked as if he was a god, and they respected Qin Changqing immensely.

For Buddhist cultivators, cultivation may not be the most important thing. Although Qin Changqing's cultivation is low, his Buddhist principles are so profound that even the abbot admits defeat. Even Grandmaster Zhicang admitted that the Vice Alliance Master's Buddhist principles are as deep as the Buddha's!

This is also one of the important reasons why Qin Changqing subdued Yu Luosha at their first meeting.

Three days later, a graceful figure returned to Bafang Temple, it was Yu Luosha.

The original Grandmaster Zhicang, who had other arrangements, immediately dismissed the original disciples and gave way to the Venerable.

"You're back?"

Seeing Yu Luosha, Qin Changqing was also a little surprised.

Now Yu Luosha spends most of her time in the Treasure Research Pavilion of the Heavenly Demon Dynasty, focusing on the research of that special magic weapon, and rarely comes back.

Over the years, Yu Luosha's belly has already shown, and it is estimated that she will be able to give birth soon, and she is becoming more and more infatuated with Qin Changqing.

"I calculated that you should be coming to Bafang Temple soon, so I rushed back to see you!"

A blush appeared on Yu Luosha's face.

A look of tenderness flashed in Qin Changqing's eyes, and he gently stroked Yu Luosha's belly, and smiled: "You can put aside the affairs of the Treasure Research Pavilion for now, take a rest, this kind of thing will not be successful in a short time, it's not too late to go after the child is born."

Yu Luosha shook her head and said excitedly: "Changqing, you are really amazing, we have made some progress in the past six months according to your ideas…"

Everyone can control flying swords, why use bows and arrows? Isn't this sick?

Seeing Qin Changqing's expression, Yu Luosha smiled and said: "It's not as simple as you think. This Spirit-Breaking Bow uses special precious materials, which are extremely tough and can withstand the attack of fifth-order magic weapons. The bowstring is also made of special materials. See the groove on it? It can be filled with spirit stones or the inner alchemy of high-level monsters. What grade of inner alchemy is put in, it can release spirit power arrows of the corresponding level."

Qin Changqing's eyes flickered, and he asked: "Can anyone use it?"

If this is the case, then it would be against the sky. If a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator used a Spirit-Breaking Bow filled with a sixth-order monster core, wouldn't it be able to emit spirit power arrows that threaten the Fusion Void Venerable?

"That is naturally impossible."

Yu Luosha shook her head and said: "But it can indeed be used across levels. The Golden Core stage can use the fourth-order Spirit-Breaking Bow, and the spirit power arrows fired by this Spirit-Breaking Bow are infinite. As long as the spirit power in it is not exhausted, it can continue to fire, and the consumption of the user's own spirit power is very small. Think about it, if there is a large-scale cultivator fight, and all of our side is equipped with this Spirit-Breaking Bow, tens of thousands of cultivators will shoot in one round, which can cause huge damage to the other side. In addition, it has the effect of breaking the law itself. Even if all of our side are Nascent Soul stage, even the Fusion Void realm cultivators can't bear it."

A picture couldn't help but appear in Qin Changqing's mind.

Tens of thousands of cultivators drew their bows and nocked arrows together, and countless arrows shot out like a honeycomb, covering the sky and covering the earth, and it was impossible to avoid them. The scene was indeed extremely shocking.

"And there is another benefit!" Yu Luosha said a little proudly: "In cultivator fights, if the opponent's strength is higher than ours, or they have a treasure that can collect magic weapons, they will inevitably fall into a disadvantage, but this Spirit-Breaking Bow is not afraid. The spirit power arrows fired are not afraid of the opponent collecting them at all. Anyway, they are disposable, and you can continue to fire them after they are collected."

Qin Changqing's eyes lit up immediately.

The current Evergreen Alliance has become a scale. If it conquers other territories, there will inevitably be large-scale cultivator fights. If there is this Spirit-Breaking Bow, it will be simply a siege weapon!
