"There's no need to thank me, this is a great merit, I'm just asking for something." Tianji shook his head.
He turned his eyes and looked eastward, which was the direction of Sakya Monastery.
"Speaking of which, I'm still a little curious."
"What are you curious about?"
"What exactly is hidden in Sakya Temple? Can even Gao Qunshu and others be persuaded by you?"
Xing Chi's expression froze, and then he realized that although Tianji promised to help, he didn't believe everything he said.
"I can't say, but if you're curious, you'd better ask in person."
…
Yucheng, Lin family.
It was early morning.
Lin Ji finished a night of practice. With the help of Yuanling liquid, his Yuan Shen was only one step away from the late stage of the fifth realm. .
After walking out of the room, his consciousness swept across Zhong Xiaoyan's house.
"Are you still practicing?" Lin Ji subconsciously slowed down his movements for fear of disturbing her.
It had been four or five days since Lin Ji returned to Jade City. Ever since he learned that Lin Ji was already in the late fifth realm, Zhong Xiaoyan had become more determined to become stronger and had been practicing in seclusion all day long.
In her words, she can be crushed by anyone, but she cannot be crushed by Lin Ji.
For this, Lin Ji could only express regret and wish her success in her cultivation.
After arriving at the restaurant for breakfast, Lin Ji happened to meet Wu Nan.
"Good morning, Benefactor Lin." Wu Nan stuffed his mouth with a steamed bun and spoke hesitantly.
"Where's Lin Chun?"
"He's exercising, Mr. Gao is watching him."
While saying this, Wu Nan swallowed the steamed bun whole in two mouthfuls.
"Donor Lin, I have something to tell you."
Lin Ji looked at Wu Nan with some surprise, only to find that although he was smiling, there seemed to be more complex emotions hidden in his eyes.
"Say it." Lin Ji responded casually.
"Find a place where no one is around." Wu Nan said again.
Hearing this, Lin Ji realized that Wu Nan really had something serious to do, so he put down the steamed bun he had just picked up, thought about it, and said, "Let's go to the backyard."
The two came to the backyard. Lin Ji sent away the servants who were taking care of the flowers and plants, and asked someone to bring tea.
Sitting in the pavilion, Lin Ji asked: "What is so mysterious?"
Wu Nan pondered for a moment and whispered: "Donor, do you still remember what you promised to the young monk, saying that you would come to Weizhou one day?"
The mention of this matter gave Lin Ji a wake-up call.
"By the way, I took advantage of you when I was in Taiyimen." Lin Ji smiled and said, "Although something goes wrong now, we are all in Victoria. You want me to help you." do what?"
Wu Nan raised his head and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Speaking of which, after spending so long with the donor, I haven't talked about my origins, right?"
"I only know that you are from the Buddhist country in the west."
Wu Nan nodded and said: "My master is a famous eminent monk in the Buddhist country, his dharma name is Zenyi."
"After I was accepted by my master, I followed him to every corner of the Buddhist Kingdom and saw countless Zen sects, large and small."
"Just a few years ago, my master told me that Buddhism is all-encompassing, and there is a Zen sect that is not in the Buddhist country, but in the Central Plains."
"It's Tantra, right?" Lin Ji understood.
Wu Nan's face had some waves.
"Later, the master took me across the Buddhist Pass and came to Weizhou... Donor, after passing the Buddhist Pass, the first stop into Weizhou was the Sakya Monastery."
"So you've been to the tantric headquarters. Didn't the tantric bald donkey feel sorry for you?"
Lin Ji knew that Buddhism also had many branches. Based on what he had seen after coming to Victoria, Tantric Buddhism might not be too friendly to monks from other branches.
Sure enough, Wu Nan let out a long sigh.
"My master was left behind."
"Detained by Tantric?"
"I...I can't explain clearly." Wu Nan frowned slightly, as if he was trying to remember, "Originally, the master planned to take me to visit other places in the Central Plains after visiting Sakya Monastery, but... After arriving at Sakya Monastery, he chose to stay."
"I told the donor before that I had seen the Tantric method of reincarnation in Sakya Monastery."
"They kept your master, but let you go?"
"Maybe it's because I'm young, so I didn't make things difficult for me." Wu Nan pondered.
Hearing this, Lin Ji already understood.
"Do you want me to help you rescue your master?"
Wu Nan shook his head.
"I have no idea."
"You don't know?" Lin Ji frowned in surprise, looking up and down for a long time to understand.
What's going on with this little bald donkey? You don't even know what kind of help you have to do?
Wu Nan was also a little embarrassed. He lowered his head slightly and explained: "I don't know why. After the master stayed at Sakya Monastery, my memory of him became less and less. I have almost forgotten his appearance."
"But I always feel that something has been left at Sakya Monastery, which makes me have to go there. After thinking about it, it should only be the master." Wu Nan said.
Lin Ji heard something unusual from these words.
Considering the strength of Wu Nan, a little bald donkey in the third realm, he is less than twenty years old. In any case, he should not suffer from amnesia as he said.
But Lin Ji believed that Wu Nan would not lie to him.
So there must be something fishy about this.
"So you have a reason to go to Sakya Monastery, but you don't know what the reason is?"
"yes."
Lin Ji let out a long sigh of relief, stood up and patted Wu Nan on the shoulder.
If someone else was so vague, he would probably not pay attention.
But this little bald donkey had been through a lot with him, and he had spoken up before him, so he couldn't just let it go.
"You are quite lucky. Now the monks from all nine states in the Central Plains are under the command of Jian Tiansi, encroaching on the power of the Tantric Sect in Weizhou. It won't be long before all the minions of the Tantric Sect have been dealt with. Then it's time to go It’s Sakya Monastery.”
After a pause, Lin Ji added: "I will set off with Mr. Tian then. You can follow. If something happens, I will find a way to protect you."
After hearing this, Wu Nan stood up and bowed.
"Thank you, donor."
"Between you and me, there is no need to talk about this."
…
In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.
In the past ten days, Lin Ji had not left Yucheng, but he had been staying at the government office.
It was Fang Yunshan who requested it by name.
Fang Yunshan came back, occupied the magpie's nest, and temporarily occupied the position of Tian Guosheng Town's official.
Lin Ji has been following Fang Yunshan these days, watching Fang Yunshan sit in Jade City, commanding his monks, and bit by bit eroding the power of Tantric Buddhism in Weizhou.
There is a map hanging on the wall of the meeting hall, which is densely filled with various marks.
Lin Ji stood half a step behind Fang Yunshan, watching silently.
"Guosheng, let the friends from Taiyimen and Sansheng Cave take a trip to Monan." Fang Yunshan looked at the map and gave orders to Tian Guosheng behind him.
The sects from Xiangzhou also came.
However, Xu Dingtian from Taiyi Sect did not come. The leader was a fifth-level monk whom Lin Ji didn't know.
In the past few days, several disciples of Taiyi Sect have destroyed seven or eight tantric strongholds with extremely high efficiency.
After Tian Guosheng accepted the order, he quickly went down to make arrangements.
Fang Yunshan breathed a long sigh of relief, rubbed his brows and sat down.
He looked at Lin Ji.
"how do you feel?"
Lin Ji was puzzled and asked, "What is your Majesty asking about?"
"Follow me and watch me give orders." Fang Yunshan pointed to the map behind him, "What do you think of this strategizing posture?"
"I find it very troublesome," Lin Ji told the truth.
