In Chang'an City, in Ci'en Temple.
"That fool..."
Standing silently at the highest point of the Main Hall, although Xiao Qing could not see Pei Wende's whereabouts at this moment, he could clearly feel the horror of the two battlefields inside and outside the city.
Not to mention the battle between all the Buddhas and the innate gods in the sky above the Daming Palace.
Even halfway across Chang'an City, Xiao Qing could hear the thunder and the people's prayers.
The battlefield near Fengzhuang in the eastern suburbs also entered a white-hot stage after Xuan Jue transformed into his true form.
Especially the movement caused by Xuan Jue forcibly breaking through the city wall with the intention of killing the Daming Palace caused the entire Chang'an City to panic as the ground shook.
[If I hadn’t been injured during the day...]
This was not the first time that Xiaoqing felt her own weakness, and the pursuit of strength was once again ignited in her heart.
Because Xiaoqing hates this feeling of being able to just sit back and watch, and she doesn't want to watch Pei Wende face all kinds of crises alone.
"Isn't it uncomfortable to feel helpless?"
With a gentle sigh, the slim and charming Red Fox quietly appeared behind Xiao Qing.
"I know how it feels, it's such a disgusting feeling."
She didn't show any of her previous charming demeanor. The red fox now seemed to be just an ordinary human woman, staring dreamily in the direction of the Daming Palace.
"Especially when you know that they are all heading towards their own destruction, this feeling is even more annoying."
Turning around gently, Xiaoqing stared at the red fox that appeared out of thin air, but just shook her head calmly.
"I'm not like you, I'm not attached to anyone."
"The so-called 'Taoist couple' are meant to support each other and grow together. If you don't understand this, you will never truly get close to Huiji."
Xiaoqing knew about the existence of Red Fox, and also knew that the other party had been entangled with Huiji when they were in Tongqing Temple.
Even before "Dan Chenzi attacked the mountain", Red Fox accompanied Xiaoqing and Pei Wende to solve an incident of facial sores caused by "Wu Qi people".
But out of fear of Xiao Qing, Red Fox has been avoiding her, and even Pei Wende has not had much contact with her.
In a sense, this is the first time that Red Fox takes the initiative to show up in front of Xiaoqing.
"Yes! You and I are different."
The smile on the corner of his mouth slowly turned into helplessness, and the red fox was a little reluctant and said with some relief.
"I'm just an incompetent little demon. Without your talent and persistence, I wouldn't be able to accompany them on this journey."
"But even so, I will do my best to help and realize his ambition."
After saying this, Red Fox immediately turned his attention to Xiaoqing.
"On the contrary, you have slowly become Pei Wende's burden."
"You can no longer keep up with his growth rate..."
"For you, he even gave up the opportunity to become a Buddha immediately."
Red Fox was talking about Pei Wende's previous epiphany. She had obviously been hiding aside and watching everything.
"for me?"
The pupils tightened unconsciously, Xiao Qing's expression was a little surprised, and her voice became a little deeper.
"Yes, if it weren't for you, he would have escaped into Buddhism long ago."
"He is at odds with his blood relatives, and his masters and brothers are all Buddhists. Why do you think he insists on refusing to become a monk?" Gu Cui
However, Xiao Qing did not agree with Red Fox's remarks.
"If it's like what you said, then he should have become a monk long before he met me."
Contrary to Red Fox's perception, Xiao Qing knew in her heart that Pei Wende didn't want to become a monk at first because of family reasons.
Or to be more precise, Pei Wende never cared about his own life experience from the beginning to the end, so naturally there would be no unresolved worldly fate.
It was his own will not to choose to become a monk in the past, and it can only be his own will to choose to become a monk in the future.
"Then if one day... he really wants to become a monk, will you stop him?"
Xiaoqing suddenly narrowed his eyes and released a dangerous aura from all over his body. Xiaoqing suddenly took a step forward and appeared directly in front of Red Fox like a ghost.
"What do you mean?"
Looking at the stern-faced Xiao Qing, Red Fox had no doubt about the murderous intention in the other person's heart - if he hadn't already had a relationship with him, the other person would have drawn his sword and threatened him.
However, after such a test, Red Fox finally confirmed Xiao Qing's thoughts.
"You should know that Zen Master Lingyou has always wanted Pei Wende to inherit his mantle!"
It was obviously a question sentence, but the tone of Red Fox's words was very determined.
"Zen Master Lingyou left his parents when he was young, and he has no blood relatives..."
"So for him, Pei Wende's identity has long been more than just a disciple. He has long regarded Pei Wende as his own heir."
"Neither Hui Ji nor that boy from the Zhang family can replace this..."
Before Red Fox could finish his words, Xiao Qing, who had been influenced by Pei Wende's thoughts, interrupted him.
"It is precisely because of this that Zen Master Lingyou has never considered letting Pei Wende become a monk!"
With a firm and indifferent tone, Xiao Qing finally understood that the red fox in front of her was clearly a lobbyist - a lobbyist representing Hui Ji.
"what do you want to say in the end?"
"Or what exactly happened? Why are you so anxious to have Pei Wende become a monk?"

"I finally caught the one who escaped!"
When the Dharma form of Huiji and the golden body merged into one, all the gods and Buddhas in the sky disappeared, and the bhikkhus in the heavens also withdrew.
At this moment, the only person who still stands in front of Zhao Guizhen is the true Buddha on earth, the Venerable Sakyamuni - Huiji.
"Yi who escaped? I didn't expect you to actually know the Taoist Qimen Dunjia?"
Zhao Guizhen, who was as majestic as the God of Thunder coming into the world, did not change his expression, but he had already gained insight into the "possibility" that was gradually locked.
That is Huiji's magical power, which is to calculate all the thousands of possibilities and finally lead them to a certain "only" general trend.
In that "only" ending, Huiji stood at the end of time in his place, letting the world revolve around his will.
"Everything in the world leads to the same destination through different paths."
Faintly responding to Zhao Guizhen's question, Huiji has now broken through the previous bottleneck and reached a new level.
Taoists call this state Yang Shen - the head of all Yangs and the root of all gods, who transforms into the supreme ghosts and gods of heaven and earth in human form.
Buddhists call this state the other shore - that is, crossing the sea of suffering, ascending to the pure land, and achieving the fruit of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas without dirt or purity.
