Wang Yan emerged from the underground hot spring and saw Guibo still standing by the hot spring, waiting quietly. ()
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Guibo."
Wang Yan's tone was apologetic. He knew that he had been gone for a long time. Guibo only said, "It's good that you're fine."
Guibo did not ask any more questions. After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. Seeing this, Wang Yan shook off the water droplets on his body and was about to leave. However, just as he took a step forward, there was a sense of chaos in his mind. Everything around him became blurry. He felt as if he had not slept for a few days and nights. Extreme sleepiness surged like waves, causing him to fall into a deep sleep without any resistance.
However, in the blink of an eye, Wang Yan felt that something was wrong. Through the feedback of the remaining senses in his body, he found that his raised left leg was still suspended in the air. Guibo, who was not far in front of him, was also standing still. The 'Qi' around him seemed to have frozen and did not change at all.
"What's going on?!"
Wang Yan was terrified. He felt that everything was so strange. However, his consciousness was involuntarily swept into the chaotic whirlpool, as if he would lose all senses in the next moment and fall into a deep sleep. At this moment, a red light shot out from Wang Yan's body. Immediately after, he felt as if his entire body was being pulled out of his body along with the red light. Very soon, he realized that he was really being pulled out of his body. Looking down, his left leg was suspended in the air, and his entire body was fixed on the spot. Guibo was also standing in front of him, motionless. Apart from that, Wang Yan also realized that the water in the hot spring had stopped flowing. Even the air seemed to have frozen, and everything was motionless.
Wang Yan could not understand everything in front of him. However, his consciousness became clearer in the red light. Then, he flew higher and higher and passed through the underground cave. The entire Mount Tailan could be seen at a glance, but he still did not stop. He passed through the layers of night, crossed the sky, and finally stopped at an unknown place, overlooking the whole world in the night.
Wang Yanwu's eyesight couldn't extend, and he didn't see any abnormal changes. He could only see that the clouds in the night were no longer moving, and the moonlight looked so dull. The whole world was silent, and there wasn't even a breeze. It was as if everything had stopped.
Not long after, everything in front of him dimmed. It was as if the world had disappeared before his eyes, and he was in an unknown place, as if he had been trapped.
Wang Yan could not tell if everything in front of him was real or fake. He did not know how this special experience had happened, and he did not know why such a change had occurred. There was only a strong sense of fear in his consciousness. He felt that there was a pair of invisible hands holding him firmly, and with just a little force, he would be turned into ashes. At this moment, he seemed to understand why Tianxing would be so crazy. He must have felt the same way before, so he only wanted to break out of this cage that was controlled by other wills and completely control his own fate.
A cage!
An illusory cage controlled by other wills!
This was the first time that Wang Yan had such a clear understanding of the world he was in. At this moment, a voice rang out from an unknown place. Wang Yan turned his attention and saw a human-shaped shadow standing in front of him. This human-shaped shadow looked like himself!
"Empty me?"
Wang Yan instantly understood what was going on, but he was also shocked. There was no focus in Kong Wo's eyes. It was as if he was standing in the endless darkness. As he opened and closed his mouth, a strange yet familiar voice came out. This voice was almost exactly the same as Wang Yan's voice, but there was no emotion in it.
"Space, time, rule …"
"Empty me" said some strange things without any emotion. If it wasn't for the fifth rhythm's enlightenment, Wang Yan would not have understood it at all. Wang Yan thought the empty me had received a program command, but after listening carefully, he realized that wasn't the case. After a long time, the empty me stopped talking, and his body completely disappeared. Wang Yan fell into deep thought.
After an unknown amount of time, when Wang Yan came back to his senses, he realized that everything had returned to normal. His consciousness returned to his body, and he was still in the underground cave, still next to the hot spring. The next moment, his foot that was hanging in the air landed firmly, as if everything had been an illusion, but Wang Yan knew it wasn't.
"An illusory world that can make time stand still?"
Wang Yan thought, then looked at Guibo, who was in front of him. Guibo naturally stepped forward a few meters, and Wang Yan followed and said, "Guibo, did you feel anything strange before?"
Guibo was stunned, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, as if he didn't understand why Wang Yan would ask such a question, but then he shook his head and said, "No, but did you feel that something was wrong?"
"No."
After Wang Yan answered, he didn't say anything else, and the two of them walked out one after the other.
.....
Zen Heart City, a big city at the border between the central and southern parts of the Northern Victory Region. As the city was built on the foundation of a group of Buddhist temples, it was named "Zen Heart". Because of this, Buddhism flourished in Zen Heart City, and various martial arts sects were derived from the Buddhist temples. Until now, in the central part of the Northern Victory Region, it was known as the Holy Land of Buddhism. Dao (Buddhism), Dharma (Martial Arts), and it was rather influential in the central and southern parts.
However, today, Zen Heart City was a little different. The city was filled with people, and countless ordinary people gathered on the streets, because the White Lotus Sect was holding a Dharma Meeting here.
"Void hometown, Ancestor White Lotus, enlighten the people, and cultivate the Great Dao together."
On the wide, long street, close to a hundred monks in white monk robes held prayer banners in their hands. They recited the words on the prayer banners repeatedly as they walked along the street. In the center of the monks, a dozen or so tall, bare-chested men carried a huge white sedan chair on their shoulders. Countless life-like white lotus flowers were carved on the sides of the sedan chair. A square tent was set up in the middle of the sedan chair. White, translucent gauze curtains hung down from all sides, and only the figure of a woman could be seen inside.
"Please enlighten us, White Lotus Maiden Saintess. Please enlighten us, White Lotus Maiden Saintess."
Around these hundreds of people, countless commoners followed the white palanquin forward, yelling at the top of their lungs.
Seeing the scene in the city, Wang Yan, who stood far away at the city gate, could not help but say to Guibo beside him, "Guibo, isn't Zen Heart City a Holy Land of Buddhism? How can they allow the White Lotus Sect to preach so openly in the city? Isn't this robbing believers? "
"Buddha says that they are merciful, but how many people in today's world believe that?"
Uncle Ghost sneered and continued, "These commoners are not allowed to enter the path of martial arts because of their aptitude or other reasons. In such a world, their lives are as worthless as grass. Although they believe in Buddhism and seek sustenance in their hearts, who doesn't want to have the power to protect themselves, or even the power to protect their loved ones and families?
The White Lotus Sect is indeed strange. They can allow ordinary people without talent to enter the martial path. Zen Heart City is said to be a Holy Land of Buddhism, but with Master Tianxing's words, who dares to stop them? "
Master Tianxing?
Wang Yan did not expect the White Lotus Sect to be related to this monster, but he heard that this old monster came from the Nirvana Temple.
Looking at Wang Yan's doubtful expression, Guibo continued, "Master Tianxing has some connections with one of the four Guardian Kings of the White Lotus Sect, Lun Dao King. Later on, he received guidance from the previous Sect Leader of the White Lotus Sect, which allowed him to transcend mortality and enter sainthood. Therefore, the White Lotus Sect is allowed to preach in any city in the Bei Sheng State every May."
So that's how it is.
It was already May. Back then, Wang Yan suffered from Chen Wenyuan's revenge on the 2nd of February, when the dragon raised its head. In the blink of an eye, three months had passed, and too many things had happened in between. In particular, the encounter on Mount Tailan seven or eight days ago was still fresh in his memory. Counting the days, there was only slightly more than a month left from the April appointment that Wang Yan had made with Duan Henan in the pagoda. Fortunately, the Nirvana Temple was in the center of the Bei Sheng State. If they set off from Zen Heart City and traveled through the night, they could reach there in a few days.
As the two of them spoke, the White Lotus Sect's group had already passed a crossroad and entered a spacious place that seemed like a public square. Then, the white sedan was slowly lowered, and a group of monks sat cross-legged on the ground. They said in unison, "Welcome, White Lotus Saintess."
As the monks shouted in unison, a streak of white light shot up from the curtains. Soon after, Wang Yan saw a ripple in front of him, and the lotus flowers on the white sedan seemed to come alive. Each of them was vivid and lifelike, and some of them even sprouted. Wang Yan could not help but narrow his eyes and say, "What a powerful technique to confuse the mind."
Before he finished speaking, the curtains in front of Wang Yan automatically opened to two sides. Then, a woman dressed in Guanyin robes with a white veil over her face held a Willow Jade Vase in one hand and formed a hand seal with the other. She sat on a praying mat shaped like a lotus flower and flew out of the curtains. Under the illusion of confusing the mind, it was as if the woman had appeared from the white light while sitting on a large white lotus.
"The filth originates from the Primal Chaos. Once the White Lotus appears, it will flourish."
The woman chanted softly, and Wang Yan saw countless lotus petals descending from the sky. The commoners immediately fought over them. Wang Yan shook his head, and a red light flashed between his brows. The illusion of confusing the mind was gone, and he murmured, "The White Lotus Sect is using such methods to fool the commoners. How despicable."
"They've always been evil and heretical."
Guibo did not seem to have a good impression of Buddhism or the White Lotus Sect, so he did not hide the ridicule in his words.
After a while, the so-called White Lotus Saintess finally stopped trying to mystify the mind. She retracted the illusion of confusing the mind, then picked up the willow branch in the Willow Jade Vase and sprinkled a few droplets of water onto it. She said, "Those who obtain my holy water will gain spiritual intelligence and sense Qi. The path of martial arts will naturally be formed."
The commoners seemed to know the miraculous effects of the holy water, and they all fought over it. The few droplets of holy water then disappeared into the crowd. A few breaths later, a teenage boy said with a face full of joy, "I've become a martial artist! I've become a martial artist!"
As he spoke, the White Lotus Saintess waved her hand, and the child actually levitated into the air towards her. When he got closer, the White Lotus Saintess smiled and said, "I'll teach you a fist technique. Show it to everyone."
As he spoke, his lips moved slightly. Presumably, he'd transmitted his fist technique to the child via voice transmission. It wasn't long before the child nodded, and then he suddenly took a deep breath and punched a 30cm thick brick that a monk had brought over.
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the brick immediately shattered into pieces. The commoners immediately knelt down and shouted, "The White Lotus Divine Manifestation."
However, in the midst of the tsunami of voices, a loud shout came from not far away.
"It's just some deceptive tricks!"
