The capital of Daliang Kingdom, the imperial palace.
The great Buddhist abbot Xuan Si walked to the Tianhui Hall and made a Buddha salute to the Emperor of Liang: "Official!"
"coming?"
On the main seat of Tianhui Palace.
Seeing the arrival of the great Buddhist abbot, Emperor Liang looked at a middle-aged man in apricot-yellow robes and said in a lazy tone: "Yun Aiqing, please tell me."
"Um."
Taoist surnamed Yun first bowed his hands to the emperor, and then said to the great Buddhist abbot: "Xuansi, how do you explain the matter in Guyang City?"
"Amitabha."
Abbot Xuansi proclaimed the Buddha's name and said calmly: "I'm a poor monk, I don't understand what Fellow Taoist Yun means."
"Are you still pretending?"
The Taoist said angrily: "The monks under your command summoned the descendants of the Buddha in Guyang City and caused such a big fuss. Do you think the officials don't know about it?"
"Of course the officials know about it." Xuansi said calmly: "After all, what happened in Guyang City was tacitly approved by the officials."
"this...."
Taoist surnamed Yun was startled when he heard this. He was so speechless by Abbot Xuansi's words that he didn't know what to say.
After a long time, he said with an indignant look: "Guan family, the descendants of the great Buddha are probably more terrifying than the ferocious beasts in the West."
"If Xuansi really gets it out of control, once it gets out of control, the consequences will be disastrous!"
The Emperor of Liang put his hand on his forehead, showing a tired look on his face.
He didn't respond and just looked at Abbot Xuansi.
The latter took advantage of the situation and said: "I don't think I need to say more. Fellow Taoist Yun also knows in his heart: Only the descendants of the Buddha can stop the ferocious beasts in the west. This is the only feasible way at the moment."
"If you don't do this, friend Daoist Yun, is there a better way to stop the catastrophe in the West?"
"I...."
The Taoist named Yun seems to have some unspeakable secrets.
He hesitated and hesitated for a long time before he said vaguely: "Our Taoism naturally has a way, but it is not convenient to say it."
"If you say it, it won't work."
"Ah,"
Xuansi chuckled lightly, clasped his hands together and remained silent.
That laughter was full of ridicule.
"OK OK."
On the main seat of Tianhui Palace.
Seeing that the Taoist priests surnamed Xuansi and Yun were at the end of their argument, the Emperor of the Liang Kingdom spoke out: "I know that everything you two have done is for my country, the Liang Kingdom."
"It's just that your starting points and positions are different, so there are differences."
"In my opinion, this is the end of the matter in Guyang City. I have my own discretion in everything."
"well,"
Since the emperor had said so, Taoist Yun did not dare to have any more opinions. He just sighed and remained speechless.
After a while, I heard the emperor say again: "By the way, where is the blue whale in the west now?"
Seeing the Holy Master's question, Taoist surnamed Yun quickly responded: "Back to the official's house, the blue whale... has arrived near the destroyed Xinya City."
"It is estimated that in another three to five years, it will pass through the 'Ten Thousand Miles of Spiritual Light Array' and swim all the way from Xingzhou to the border of Leizhou."
"Yes." Emperor Liang nodded, waved his hand and said, "I understand, please step back first."
"ah?"
Seeing the emperor's attitude, Taoist surnamed Yun became anxious: "Guan family, that blue whale will enter Leizhou territory in three to five years!"
"I know."
The emperor had an indifferent attitude, as if he was indifferent to everything around him.
He stood up, left Taoist Yun and Xuansi behind, and left the Tianhui Palace with the support of the eunuch...
"well!"
Seeing the emperor leaving, Taoist surnamed Yun let out a long sigh with a look of helplessness on his face.
Xuansi, the great Buddhist abbot, lowered his head and remained silent.
I don't know what is going on in my heart.
…
At night.
The boundary of Leizhou in Daliang Kingdom, near the official road.
Seeing three carriages approaching slowly not far away, Ran Dong felt happy and hurriedly waved his hand to signal the brothers behind him to get ready.
Ran Dong was originally a late-stage god-worshipping monk from Xingzhou Xuantian Sect.
Just because the sect was destroyed by two evil spirits a year ago, there is nowhere to stay.
In addition, there are many ghosts and ghosts in Xingzhou, and most of the mortals' minds are not normal, and they have mutated due to pollution, so the towns and villages are simply uninhabitable.
As a last resort, he had to spend some of his savings to bribe the border guards of Liang State to get through the 'Ten Thousand Miles of Spiritual Light Formation'.
After passing the 'Ten Thousand Miles of Spiritual Light Array', we reach the boundary of Leizhou.
That is, within the territory of Daliang Kingdom.
Leizhou has relatively few ghosts and ghosts, is prosperous and livable, but it also has many restrictions.
The court of Daliang Kingdom had express provisions:
Within the territory of Liang Kingdom, monks are strictly prohibited from detaining or imprisoning mortals privately, and they are even more strictly prohibited from extracting the "power of pain" from mortals.
This made Ran Dong, who was used to relying on the 'Mortal Dungeon' for cultivation, unable to make any progress in his cultivation in the following months.
He had also considered that there was no need to rely on the techniques of the 'Mortal Dungeon' to change cultivation.
However, most of the techniques that do not rely on the 'mortal dungeon' are neutral and peaceful, and only rely on hard work to absorb the 'power of pain', so their progress is slow.
In addition, Ran Dong's cultivation qualifications are already low...
Considering this, he got entangled with a group of casual cultivators who were also stuck in the god-worshiping period like him, and started robbing people on the official roads of Leizhou.
Those who are kidnapped will be sent to the 'mortal dungeon' for Ran Dong and other casual cultivators to extract the 'power of pain' to practice...
"Okay, let go!"
On the official road.
Seeing the three carriages getting closer and closer to him, Ran Dong gave the order, and saw the poplars on both sides of the road falling down in response.
The fallen Bai Yang just stopped the three carriages.
Then, Ran Dong and other monks swarmed up, surrounded the three carriages, and shouted: "Everyone in the carriage, get out of here!"
Ran Dong is not afraid of encountering difficulties.
After all, monks at the embryonic stage and above can fly with weapons, so it is almost impossible to ride in a carriage.
As for the worship period...
Ran Dong himself has the late-stage cultivation of God Worshipers, and together with the rest of the casual cultivators in the God Worship Stage...their team has no fear of the God Worship Stage cultivators.
Under the pressure of Ran Dong and others, the mortals and god-worshiping monks in the motorcade reluctantly got off the carriage.
Seeing that everyone was extremely cooperative, Ran Dong showed a look of satisfaction: "Those among you who have reached the middle stage of worshiping gods or above can leave directly. Everyone else should stay where they are and don't move."
In the convoy.
The late cultivator glanced at Ran Dong and others.
After weighing the strengths of both sides, he cupped his fists and saluted Ran Dong and others, and said neatly: "Then, I'll take my leave."
"Fellow Taoist, take care!"
Not to be enemies with the monks in the middle stage of worshiping gods or in the late stages of worshiping gods. This was the rule Ran Dong set for himself when he was robbing people.
It was this rule that allowed him to live freely until now.
After seeing off the late-stage god-worshiping monk, several mid-stage god-worshipping monks in the convoy looked at each other.
After a brief hesitation, these monks hurriedly left from the official road...
Seeing that all the tough guys were gone, Ran Dong smiled on his face.
He waved his hand and said, "Brothers, check if there is anyone else in the carriage."
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice said: "Boss, I have another one here!"
Ran Dong heard the sound and looked over.
On the third carriage of the convoy.
Wearing a Yin-Yang Tai Chi fish robe, he covered his head with a painful expression on his face and slowly walked out of the carriage.
