Chapter 1595: Chapter 58: The Constellations of the Zodiac Encircle Linchuan

Swapping identities to enter Nanshan Legal Realm, not to mention stealing scriptures from within the Floating Pagoda of the Legal Realm–it would be a lie to say he wasn’t nervous.

Especially upon hearing the indiscernible sermon from an elder, Tang Luo felt an urgent need to end this scripture heist.

Fortunately, there were only two precious volumes left. Even if they were both useful, it wouldn’t take too much time to copy them.

But the two had obviously forgotten the uniqueness of this Jifeng Zen Assembly. In the Nanshan Legal Realm, there were already outstanding disciples who had completed their debates, making their way to the Floating Pagoda one after another.

Before Yun Xiu could open the ‘Four Directions Vinaya’, Tang Luo heard the sound of someone approaching outside the tower. He patted Yun Xiu on the shoulder and whispered, “Someone’s coming, let’s hide!”

“Okay.”

Yun Xiu’s hand blossomed, swiftly gathering up the eight precious volumes scattered on the ground. The two retreated to a corner of the Scripture Pavilion, hiding behind the dark curtain of the bookshelf, and an even more cautious Yun Xiu swung her wrist, casting a wave of energy to completely shield their presence.

Ten breaths later, after they had done all this, a group of young monks was let into the tower by the gatekeeper monk.

The young monks who entered the Floating Pagoda were all rising stars from various Zen monasteries in Buddha Country Pure Land. If they observed carefully, they might notice the missing precious volumes in the Scripture Pavilion. But they were in a hurry to meet the South Heavenly Buddha and did not linger on the bottom floor. Without any pause, they went “thump, thump, thump,” climbing upstairs.

Their footsteps merged into a continuous sound, like the beat of a drum.

Then, this drumbeat never stopped…

Within the Nanshan Legal Realm, there were two hundred law platforms. Even if only two outstanding disciples were chosen from each platform, that was a total of four hundred individuals. These people, entering the tower and climbing to the upper floors at staggered times, took half a day before it finally quieted down.

“Finally, they have all passed.”

Tang Luo emerged from behind the curtain, then listened carefully and gestured for Yun Xiu to come out: “Let’s leave the Floating Pagoda first.”

Quickly reaching a consensus, Yun Xiu carefully checked their disguises, then confidently walked towards the exit of the tower.

As they stepped out of the Floating Pagoda, Yun Xiu suddenly felt a moment of vertigo and subconsciously grabbed onto Tang Luo’s arm.

Ben Heng and Ben Chuan, the monks stationed at the gate, couldn’t help but take a second look at the intimate display, but were fiercely glared back at by Yuan Xing.

The two gatekeeper monks panicked, turned their heads away in haste, and let the two young monks leave the Floating Pagoda without incident.

Beyond the Floating Pagoda, the two did not stop until they had reached the outskirts of the city, and only after leaving the Nanshan Legal Realm did they find a rainforest to rest.

“Whew, it’s a relief to get out safely!”

Tang Luo let out a long sigh and turned around with a smile towards Yun Xiu, “This should be safe. Tell me, what are the ‘Four Directions Vinaya’ and ‘Four Symbols Empowerment’ all about?”

Yun Xiu, who was still clutching Tang Luo’s arm with her head down, let go of her disguise and looked up, her face deathly pale, with terror written all over it.

Tang Luo was startled and quickly reached out to grasp Yun Xiu’s wrist, channeling Two Ambiguity Innate Qi into her.

“I’m fine, it’s just… just…”

Yun Xiu’s cheeks regained their color with the warmth of Innate Qi, but the fear in her eyes was still evident, as if she had encountered some unknown, unspeakable terror.

This made Tang Luo even more concerned. He hugged his wife and whispered softly, “We’re already out, it’s all right now. There’s no need to be afraid.”

“But… I can’t remember the scriptures from the last two volumes!”

Yun Xiu, nestled in Tang Luo’s embrace, was filled with regret, berating herself with a tearful voice.

“That’s okay, it’s not a big deal if you can’t remember.”

Tang Luo patted Yun Xiu’s back, trying to comfort her.

“No, that’s not it.”

Yun Xiu lifted her head, looking at Tang Luo with an urgency to explain: “Before leaving the tower, I remembered them clearly, but once I stepped out of the Floating Pagoda, I couldn’t recall the scriptures any longer. Not just the ‘Four Directions Vinaya’ and ‘Four Symbols Empowerment’ but I also can’t remember the previous six either!”

“Is that so?”

Tang Luo frowned, realizing that what happened to Yun Xiu was not simple, and asked, “Then, can my lady remember what we did inside the Floating Pagoda?”

“I remember!”

Yun Xiu hurriedly said, “I remember everything about going into the Floating Pagoda and looking for the eight precious volumes, but I can’t recall the content of the scriptures at all!”

Erasing memories is not an extraordinary tactic; many Illusion Techniques can achieve this. Yet to do it so unnoticeably, and with such precision, erasing only the intended parts…

Tang Luo’s face grew solemn as he pulled out the scriptures Yun Xiu had copied in the Floating Pagoda from his Void Stomach.

But the paper that should have been filled with writing was now as blank and white as new.

“Ha, it seems that elder has turned the entire Floating Pagoda into a Saint Domain, and the rule is, no scriptures may be taken out of the pavilion.”

Realizing what had happened, Tang Luo sighed, “No wonder the Floating Pagoda, home to eighty-four thousand volumes of Buddha’s Country’s scriptures, is so loosely guarded. It’s because of this.”

“So… was this trip in vain?”

“Not at all!”

Tang Luo flashed a wide, bright smile, proudly saying, “Although I don’t know why, it seems the rules of the Floating Pagoda’s Saint Domain don’t apply to me. I still remember the contents of ‘Meditation and Subtlety’ and ‘Diamond Entering Wisdom’!”

Perhaps it was due to Void Body Refinement, or maybe it was because of his unique cultivation, but in any case, Tang Luo did not lose any memory after leaving the Floating Pagoda.

When they returned to the hollow in the tree where the two young monks were hiding, Yun Xiu dispelled her Illusion Technique, and the two left the Nanshan Legal Realm quietly.

…

After the two small thieves left the scene, the Jifeng Zen Assembly continued, especially after four to five hundred outstanding disciples of the Zen sect reached the apex of the Floating Pagoda, the Zen debate became more imperative than ever.
