However, the little fire dragon could not sense Qiu Tian's breath even after exploring everywhere, let alone seeing Qiu Tian's shadow. In addition to the pile of dead bones buried under the ruins in the broken earth temple, it can be said that there were no people within ten miles of the surrounding area.

Therefore, the little fire dragon's eyes finally fell into the pile of dead bones buried in the earth temple. Looking back at the time when he met Ling Fan, although Ling Fan was only a mortal at that time, his physique was definitely not comparable to ordinary mortals. In addition, Ling Fan often practiced a mysterious martial art, and has never told him who taught it and what magic tricks he practiced.

Therefore, seeing Ling Fan's expression was abnormal at this moment, the little fire dragon concluded that the relationship between the pile of dry bones and Ling Fan must be very serious. After careful investigation, the little fire dragon found that the pile of dry bones was not the bones of one person, but the two. Moreover, one of the bones was small, and it should have been a woman during his lifetime.

However, what surprised the little Fire Dragon was that the other corpse was significantly more decayed, and from the perspective of bone quality, its age was at least over.

The lifespan of a mortal is a hundred years. But this bone was over a long time ago. So is he still a mortal? But the paradox is that if you can have such a long lifespan, your bones should be relatively tough, so how can the degree of decay be so serious?

With all kinds of doubts, the little fire dragon wanted to ask Ling Fan, but seeing Ling Fan's emotions were extremely excited, the little fire dragon stayed aside, and it would not be too late to ask when Ling Fan calmed down.

"Master...I'm sorry, my disciple is unfilial..."

He sobbed and cried, but now Master Kongchen never heard back. Ling Fan really didn't expect that the farewell that day would be the last time in this life. He originally promised that the master would come back in a year or two, but in a flash, nearly twenty years passed in a hurry. This time, he didn't even see the master for the last time.

The mortal world is different from the world of cultivation. In the mortal world, one year is one year, and time is extremely precious. But the world of cultivation is different. There is no Jiazi in the mountains, and it is common for a thousand years to pass through the blink of an eye. Not to mention others, even Ling Fan felt that these twenty years seemed to be just two years, and he could not feel the length of time at all.

The lifespan of a cultivator is, the longer heals the more he practices. But ordinary people are different, they will grow one year older in a year. Kong Chen has grown old back then. How can he live like a cultivator?

I thought that returning with a high level of cultivation in the God-Stage stage would make Kong Chen feel relieved, but I didn’t expect that I would see Kong Chen’s corpse when I came back. This old man had no place to die, and he didn’t even have a tomb after his death. As Kong Chen’s only disciple, Ling Fan felt deeply guilty. Not to mention not seeing Kong Chen’s last side, he didn’t even catch up with the last journey of sending the master. Can Kong Chen rest in peace under the nine springs?

At this moment, Ling Fan felt too much self-blame and guilt. In addition to constantly kowtowing to the direction where the dead bones were buried, Ling Fan couldn't cry at all.

"Fan'er..."

A voice that was so familiar that it could not be more familiar to the others came to Ling Fan's ears. Such a kind shout, besides raising his master Kongchen for sixteen years, who else would there be?

When Ling Fan heard the sound, his whole body trembled suddenly, and then he suddenly raised his head and looked around. However, no matter how he checked, there was no figure of Kong Chen around him. For a moment, Ling Fan even felt that he had an illusion.

However, at this time, the Yuanshen discovered that the ruined temple in front of him and the entire valley gradually rose from the golden light. All the golden lights continued to approach Ling Fan, and gradually formed a vague figure.

Although the figure is blurry, no matter how blurred it is, Ling Fan can still tell that this figure is the shadow of Master Kongchen.

"Master..." Looking at the gradually condensed figure, Ling Fan shouted excitedly.

"Fan'er, why do you look so pitiful when you see your teacher? You shouldn't be happy, right?" No matter how the golden light gathers, it still cannot form a human form. It is still a vague figure, but the words gradually become clear.

"But Master, you...you already..." Listening to the familiar voice of the master in the past, Ling Fan even felt like he was dreaming.

"I'm already dead, right? Haha! Death is actually a kind of relief! Sometimes death is more comfortable than living!"

"This..." Ling Fan said in confusion.

"The master has not warned you that you should understand more about things you don't understand and don't always ask about being a teacher? What you see now is not actually the soul of being a teacher, but the afterimage left by the teacher in the vicinity of this for many years."

Seeing Ling Fan looking puzzled, Kong Chen explained: "When a person is alive, he is actually releasing energy. In addition to being used by himself, these energy will also affect the outside world. For the outside world, it is called aura. To give a simple and easy-to-understand example, the footprints you leave behind when you walk are your influence on the outside world."

After a pause, Kong Chen continued: "When a person dies, his past imprints will still stay, and it will take longer for the aura to be erased. And the state of the master at this moment is to use all the auras that lived in Wolong Mountain in the past to condense."

"Uh... can this still happen!" Ling Fan was surprised when he heard this.

"Buddha uses this natural mystery to save the world. You may not be able to understand it now, but I believe it as a teacher, and you will definitely understand it in the future."

"Master, you all say that we are not from Buddhism, why am I doing to understand Buddhist things?" Ling Fan said in surprise.

"Haha! Fan'er, sometimes what you hear may not be the truth. For example, your master, I am originally a Buddhist, and I am also a favorite student of the Great Buddha of the Western Paradise."

"Damn! Master, this..." Ling Fan suddenly felt a little confused.

"Oh! Maybe you may feel incredible and even feel a little aggrieved. After all, I have concealed many things. Once, even before I passed away, I decided to hide it for the rest of my life. But after thinking about it again and again, I may leave a knot on my mind for you, which will affect your cultivation. Therefore, before I pass away, I will exile the remaining power in the past marks and wait for you to come back."

"Master, my disciple is unfilial and has not come back in time. I didn't even see you for the last time..." Ling Fan finally had a chance at this time, so he hurriedly said.

"Haha! Don't be so sad. In fact, I don't mean to blame you at all. Instead, I feel extremely relieved when I see your current strength. This is many years earlier than expected by my teacher!"

"Master, you said before that you were from the Western Paradise, but that place is from the Immortal Realm! And you..." Ling Fan suddenly remembered the previous words.

"The reason why you mentioned your identity as a teacher back then is related to the magic tricks you practiced. Yes, your master, I was once a Buddhist, and I was the best. I could even almost attain Bodhi and become a Bodhisattva in a local area. However, one day the Buddha told me that I had a kalpa in this life, and if I could not resolve it, I would not be able to become a Buddha in my life."

"Uh? What kind of disaster?" Ling Fan couldn't help but think of the second half of his life. It was really a bit bleak, no difference from ordinary mortals at all. And what kind of disaster caused such a situation?

"Hehe! Beauty robbery!"

"Puff!" Ling Fan was speechless when he heard this.

"Don't be surprised, it's true! In order to transform the catastrophe, I left Buddhism and looked for the catastrophe that the Buddha said. At first, I didn't understand what calamities had prevented me from becoming a Buddha. After all, I was a master and felt that there was no calamity in this world. However, when I was traveling, when I met the daughter of the Nine Qu Immortal Lord, I knew that she was a calamity that I would never be able to pass in my life."

"Uh... what happened later?" It is said that Buddhist precepts are strict, and the mortal world is like this, so the cultivation world is naturally more harsh. I believe that the Great Paradise in the Immortal World must be more powerful. The punishments that violate the precepts will naturally increase. Ling Fan is really curious about Kong Chen's past at this moment.

"What good results will be achieved later? Of course it is a tragedy! Otherwise, the teacher would not have appeared in the mortal world."

"Then, what about your disaster, Master?"

"How can she be better? The Nine Qu Immortal Lord was so angry that he couldn't raise his head in front of the immortals. After all, his daughter actually hooked up with a Buddhist disciple. And she..."

Kong Chen seemed to be choking when he said this. After a pause, he continued: "In order to protect me, she even said that she seduced me as her teacher, and then left her infamous.... Buddhism defeated me to the mortal world and saved my life, but she was not as lucky as her teacher."

Listening to Kongchen's faint words, it seemed as if he was telling other people's stories. But Ling Fan, who had been following Kongchen for many years, did not know how painful Kongchen was? At this moment, Ling Fan seemed to understand why Kongchen drank his sorrows with wine every day and was depressed all day long.

It turns out that the master still has such an unforgettable painful past.

As soon as he said this, Kongchen immediately ended with a saying of "Amitabha"!

"Master, can you do something for you?" Ling Fan said after thinking about it.

"If you want to help your teacher get revenge, then you are wrong. As a teacher, you have to such a state of resentment, and even if you have resentment in your heart, you hate that the immortals and Buddhas cannot become Taoists, and you hate that the Buddhists have such unsatisfactory precepts. However, there is a cause and a result. As the Buddha said, if you cannot survive, you will naturally not be able to become a Buddha. Therefore, as a teacher, as long as your thoughts are not eliminated, you will never be a Buddha forever."

After a pause, Kong Chen immediately said, "Of course, in addition to this, there is also the infinite golden bone technique you have practiced. Although this technique was modified by the teacher, its essence is still from Buddhism. The Buddhist precepts are strict and cannot be passed on from outside. In addition, it is also a Buddhist scripture in the Great Paradise. Now it has been passed on to you by the teacher and breaking the precepts. If you are known, it is inevitable to die as a teacher, but you don't want you to be implicated."

"So that's it..." Ling Fan finally understood why he could not spread his skills, and even had no connection with Buddhism. In order to protect himself, Kong Chen even concealed his relationship with his master and apprentice when he had outsiders.
