　　Xu Taiping, who was on the side, also recalled upon hearing this.
Back then, when Xuanzhi performs the Buddhist magic, he had to sprinkle a handful of the millet he obtained through alms first and draw mana from these millet.
In those days, he even relied on this power of Buddha’s affinity to exert the power of equality among all beings in the Upper Qing Realm.
　　And just as Xu Taiping was thinking like this, he heard Xuanzhi continue to explain：
　　“And the moment I entered the Barbarian Wilderness, the little monk sensed a thick power of Buddha’s affinity, so I thought of coming to give it a try.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded upon hearing this and then asked again：
　　“Can this bodhi leaf be used on outsiders？”
　　Master Xuanzhi immediately replied：
　　“Of course it can.”
　　Almost at the same time as Xuanzhi replied, the bodhi leaf in Master Xuanzhi’s hand suddenly split into three, and two of them flew straight towards Xu Taiping and Dongfang Yuejian.
　　Immediately following, accompanied by the sound of incantations, the figures of Xu Taiping and Dongfang Yuejian disappeared simultaneously.
However, the two people who disappeared in the small courtyard could not only see each other, but also the Xuanzhi who had just disappeared.
Xuanzhi seemed to be very excited as if he had successfully cast this Buddhist spell for the first time and said:
　　The power of Buddhist affinity in this barbaric land is really strong. If it were in the Upper Qing Realm, I’m afraid it would consume the power of Buddhist affinity that I obtained from begging for alms for three years.
　　After hearing Xuanzhi’s explanation, Xu Taiping had a general understanding of the cultivation in Yunyin Temple, so he confirmed with Xuanzhi and said：
So, Master Xuanzhi, when your ascetic cultivators in Yunyin Temple make a move, if they use Buddhist martial arts, they don’t need to use the power of Buddhist affinity, but if they use Buddhist aphorisms or spells, they need to use the power of Buddhist affinity obtained from begging for alms, right?
　　Xuanzhi nodded and said：
　　That’s right.
　　He smiled and added：
　　However, in addition to the power of Buddhist affinity obtained from begging for alms, the bodies of us ascetic cultivators also contain the power of Buddhist affinity.
　　After hearing this, Dongfang Yuejian suddenly realized and said：
　　No wonder when you, Master Xuanzhi, passed away and incinerated your body, the mana on your body would instead increase.
　　Xu Taiping also slightly nodded at this time and said：
　　“Abbot Xuanzhi, it was with this move that you killed nearly a thousand deep-sea monsters at Tianhai Pass back then, right？”
　　Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yuejian at the side immediately asked curiously：
　　“So it turns out that Abbot Xuanzhi was also at Tianhai Pass back then.”
　　Xuanzhi clasped his hands together somewhat embarrassedly and said：
　　“Ashamed, ashamed.”
　　As he spoke, Xuanzhi looked at the bodhi leaf suspended above his head, and then looked at Xu Taiping and Dongfang Yuejian and said：
　　“Brother Taiping, Miss Dongfang, this magic of mine can still hold out for another one or two cups of tea, which is just enough for us to go and investigate the backyard.”
　　Xu Taiping asked curiously：
　　“Can the outside world hear the sound of our conversation？”
　　Xuanzhi shook his head very confidently and said：
　　“As long as I don’t release the magic, the outside world won’t be able to hear it.”
　　Dongfang Yuejian immediately said happily：
　　“Abbot Xuanzhi, Daoist Taiping, then let’s talk about the things you did at Tianhai Pass back then as we walk.”
　　Regarding the battle at Tianhai Pass back then, apart from the few surviving soldiers in Tianhai Pass, only Xu Taiping and Abbot Xuanzhi knew the most clearly.
　　Abbot Xuanzhi laughed heartily, and then clasped his hands together and said：
　　“In the battle at Tianhai Pass, I was purely taking advantage of Brother Taiping. Otherwise, I simply wouldn’t have been able to come out alive, let alone take this opportunity to break through to the Vajra Realm.”
　　Dongfang Yuejian’s interest was immediately piqued upon hearing this, and she wanted to follow up and ask for the details.
　　“Abbot Xuanzhi, quickly tell me, what exactly happened at Tianhai Light back then…”
　　“Creak…”
　　“Shh…”
　　Just as Dongfang Yuejian’s words were not yet finished, Xu Taiping heard a faint sound of a firewood door turning coming from the direction of the backyard. So he immediately interrupted Dongfang Yuejian and gestured for her to keep quiet with his hand.
　　Because the distance was still very far, this sound was actually extremely soft, but it still failed to escape the ears of Xu Taiping, whose hearing was far stronger than that of ordinary cultivators.
　　Dongfang Yuejian, who didn’t hear anything, looked at Xu Taiping with some confusion and asked in a low voice：
　　“Daoist Taiping, what did you hear？”
　　As Xu Taiping continued to walk forward along the eaves, he said in a low voice with a vigilant expression on his face：
　　“I heard the sound of the door opening coming from the backyard.”
　　Upon hearing this, the expressions of Dongfang Yuejian and Abbot Xuanzhi both changed.
　　Dongfang Yuejian looked at the bodhi leaves above her head with some relief and said：
　　“Fortunately, Abbot Xuanzhi cast a stealth spell for us in advance.”
　　At this time, Abbot Xuanzhi took out his golden alms bowl, holding it in one hand and chanting scriptures with the other hand held vertically.
　　Immediately, a man’s voice speaking in a shrill voice was heard coming from the golden alms bowl——
　　“Brother Lü, come out. This is just a small broken courtyard.”
　　Hearing this voice, the expressions of Xu Taiping and the other two all froze.
　　Dongfang Yuejian even took out her talisman pen and said in a low voice with a vigilant expression：
　　“They should also be cultivators who have come to this wild land to experience. I just don’t know if they are from the righteous sect or the evil sect.”
　　Abbot Xuanzhi said with a solemn expression：
　　“Let’s observe from the dark first.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded in agreement.
　　Soon, the voice of the man just now came from the golden bowl again：
　　“Brother Lu, we are a bit unlucky this time. As soon as we come out, we encounter the Ghost Night！”
　　Hearing the words “Ghost Night”, Xu Taiping immediately frowned and asked Dongfang Yuejian：
　　“Miss Dongfang, what is the Ghost Night？”
　　Dongfang Yuejian smiled and said：
　　“Daoist Taiping, you don’t have to panic. The Ghost Night is actually just a general term for the wild land at night by cultivators. There is nothing special about it.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded with a sudden realization and said：
　　“So that’s the case.”
　　At this time, the voice of another man came from the purple-gold bowl：
　　“Brother Sun, keep your voice down. There may be other people in this courtyard.”
　　The three of Xu Taiping looked at each other when they heard this.
　　Obviously, the cultivator called Brother Lu was much more vigilant than the one called Brother Sun.
　　Then, the voice of Brother Sun came from the purple-gold bowl again：
　　“Brother Lu, why don’t we spend the night here tonight and set off again at dawn.”
　　Brother Sun, upon hearing this, was a bit hesitant and said：
　　“Brother Lu, if we set off tomorrow, I’m afraid it will be too late. My junior sister and the others are still waiting for me.”
　　So the two of them started arguing.
　　“Huh？”
　　And just as the two were arguing like this, Xu Taiping suddenly let out an “huh” and then looked towards the courtyard gate of the small courtyard with a vigilant expression and said：
　　“Someone　is　coming.”
　　Both Dongfang Yuejian and Master Xuanzhi also felt a tightness in their hearts.
　　Dongfang Yuejian was very confused and said：
　　“It’s so late at night, why would there still be someone？”
　　And just as she said this, the “pata pata” sound of footsteps came clearly from outside the door.
　　At this moment, the night was as dark as ink, and the Western Zhou was so quiet that a needle drop could be heard, making the sound of footsteps extremely harsh.
　　“Peng peng peng peng！”
　　“Peng peng peng peng！”
　　“Peng peng peng peng！”
　　Just then, a very rhythmic knocking sound came from outside the front courtyard door.
　　“Peng peng peng peng！”
　　Hearing this knocking sound, Master Xuanzhi suddenly had an inexplicable twitch in his eyelids. He put his hands together and said in a low voice：
　　“Brother Taiping, Miss Dongfang, you must not make a sound. I feel that outside this house…”
　　After hesitating for a moment, Master Xuanzhi suddenly said with a solemn expression：
　　“Outside this house, it must be stolen goods！”
