Guangxian Bodhisattva and Galo Tree Bodhisattva frowned at the same time. The former closed his eyes and opened them.
"He's not in Alantuo."
Glazed Bodhisattva's beautiful eyes flickered. "He was still there before I prayed. After that, I didn't notice him leaving. "
What method could he use to leave silently under the noses of the three Bodhisattvas?
Galo Tree said in a low voice,
"Consecrated Dao Position!"
Guangxian Bodhisattva and Glazed Bodhisattva narrowed their eyes at the same time. They recalled unpleasant memories. That was a trick used by a certain Buddhist traitor.
If Du 'e had used the power of the Consecrated Dao Position to create a fake body and then controlled the fake body to blend in with the Buddhist monks, he could indeed easily deceive everyone. The fake body created by the Consecrated Dao Position could almost be mistaken for the real one.
The three of them would not deliberately distinguish the subtle differences.
Guangxian Bodhisattva had a bad feeling.
"What does Du 'e want to do?"
…
On the outskirts of the capital.
Du 'e sat cross-legged on the nine-petal lotus platform and flew towards the capital on a golden light.
When he approached the capital, a middle-aged Confucian scholar with a clear aura welcomed him. He was standing on a ruler.
The Confucian scholar was dressed in a purple robe. He had a clear face, thick eyebrows, and bright eyes. He looked extremely dignified and dignified without being angry.
"Dhu Lohan, I've been waiting for a long time."
The purple-robed Confucian scholar smiled and bowed.
When he smiled, his dignified aura disappeared. There was a hint of sophistication in his smile. The tempering in the officialdom had not been in vain.
Without waiting for Dhu Lohan to speak, he continued, "I'm Yang Gong.
"This official is Yang Gong. I have been waiting here on His Majesty's orders. His Majesty has ordered that as soon as you arrive, you must immediately enter the palace to see her.
"Why are you delayed, Arhat?"
Dhu Lohan arrived half an hour later than the agreed time.
Dhu Lohan's expression was solemn. He pressed his palms together but did not say anything.
He did not seem to be in the mood for conversation.
At this moment, the ruler under Yang Gong's feet suddenly left his control and flew up to hit Dhu Lohan's knee.
Yang Gong quickly stopped him and apologized,
"This item is my accompanying artifact. After becoming a Transcendent, it developed a weak spiritual intelligence and likes to beat people up …"
He probably thinks that you're my disciple. If you don't answer my question, you deserve to be beaten … Yang Gong explained in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud.
Magical artifacts with a weak spiritual intelligence all had the potential to become peerless divine weapons.
Dhu Lohan nodded, indicating that he did not mind the ruler's offense.
Yang Gong wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Not long ago, I suddenly felt ill at ease, as if doomsday was approaching. What exactly happened in the Western Regions?"
Or rather, what was the purpose of the Buddha holding the Dharma Assembly?
The school of Confucianism was a system related to destiny, so it was very sensitive in certain aspects.
Dhu Lohan said slowly:
"I do not know."
When Yang Gong saw this, he didn't ask further and said:
"I'll bring Arhat to see His Majesty."
After that, he stirred up his Awe-Inspiring Righteousness and cast the Spell of Verbal Compliance. He chanted,
He chanted: "Dhu Lohan and I are in the imperial study of the palace."
Light rose from his feet and enveloped Dhu Lohan. The two of them disappeared in an instant.
Du 'e's vision blurred. Then, he saw the imperial study that was decorated majestically and luxuriously. It was paved with black tiles and red pillars. He saw the Empress Daibun behind the yellow silk table.
She was wearing a red inner robe embroidered with golden dragon patterns, and a black robe with golden dragon patterns. Her black hair was tied up with a golden crown, and she looked cold and noble. The elegance of a woman and the Emperor's regular clothes interweaved with a different kind of charm.
On the left and right sides of the Emperor were Wei Yuan, who was wearing a navy blue robe embroidered with cloud patterns, and Zhao Shou, a cabinet scholar, who was wearing a scarlet robe.
The three of them looked over at the same time.
Dhu Lohan put his palms together:
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Huaiqing returned a cold smile, and then asked with a serious expression,
"Did Dhu Lohan witness the Buddhist Dharma Assembly?"
Dhu Lohan asked:
"Did you notice anything strange, Your Majesty?"
Huaiqing nodded slowly. "I was taking a nap in the palace just now. Suddenly, I dreamed that a huge Buddha fell down and pressed down on me."
She paused for a moment. Her cold face turned solemn, and her tone became low.
Her tone deepened, "The Buddha grew eyes and stared at me coldly. He grew a mouth and swallowed me whole."
Thinking back to the nightmare, she still felt a chill run down her spine.
"I'm already an extraordinary warrior. I would never have such a dream for no reason. Xu Ningyan said that those who are blessed by providence will give a warning when their country is about to perish. Thinking of the recent situation in the Western Region, the reason is most likely because of this. "
Zhao Shou echoed, "It is indeed a warning from providence.
"It is indeed a warning from fate. I am also anxious and restless today."
Dhu Lohan revealed a look of understanding, as if he had verified a certain guess in his heart. He put his palms together and said,
"I left Alan Tuo before the Buddhist Dharma Assembly began. I'm not sure about the exact situation there. However, on my way to the Central Plains, I suddenly sensed a change in the world … "
He phrased his words and tried his best to explain,
"The Spiritual Energy of Heaven and Earth quickly dissipated and was replaced by the Buddhist Power. It was as if I had entered the legendary Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss."
For a Buddhist practitioner like him, such a world was extremely beautiful and could even be called a paradise.
Huaiqing, Wei Yuan, Zhao Shou, and Yang Gong exchanged silent glances. They were all confused and solemn.
"I turned back to check on the situation. When I passed by a city near Alan Tuo, I found that the city was empty. There was no sign of human habitation …" At this point, Arhat Du 'e put his palms together. His expression was compassionate as he kept chanting "Amitabha".
No wonder he's late … Yang Gong frowned.
"No trace of human habitation?"
Huaiqing and the other two also frowned. Although they didn't really understand, they realized that the situation wasn't good.
Dhu Lohan quickly calmed down and continued,
"Just as I was about to enter the city to investigate, I suddenly saw a pair of eyes crack open on the city wall. That pair of eyes had no emotions to speak of, not even a hint of coldness. But when it looked at me, my hair actually stood on end, and I was incomparably terrified.
"Strangely enough, it didn't hurt me and just ignored me.
"I didn't dare to return to Alan Tuo. I rushed all the way to the capital."
Not to mention Du 'e, who had personally experienced it, even the four people present felt a chill in their hearts just by listening.
A city had become an empty city, but the city walls had come to life?
Where did that person go?
Huaiqing recalled what she had seen and heard in her dream, and a thought popped up in her mind.
Zhao Shou whispered, "What do you think, Dhu Lohan?"
"What do you think, Dhu Lohan?"
Du 'e pondered for a moment and slowly said,
"In the battle to snatch back the head of Shen Shu, Alan Tuo collapsed into ruins. However, when the Buddhist Dharma Assembly was held, Alan Tuo rose from the ground overnight and returned to its original state.
"I saw it with my own eyes. Buddha transformed into a Holy Mountain."
Wei Yuan's pupils constricted slightly.
Huaiqing's breathing quickened.
"The pair of eyes you saw on the city wall were Buddha's?!"
She voiced out her conjecture.
The members of the Heaven & Earth Society had talked about that battle through the Book of the Earth fragment and commented on the situation of Buddha transforming into a Holy Mountain. At that time, the members of the Heaven & Earth Society did not understand the principles of the Central Plains and were mainly amazed.
Since Buddha could transform into a mountain, why couldn't he transform into a city?
No one refuted Huaiqing, because they thought so too.
"Duke Wei, Minister Zhao, what do you think?" Huaiqing looked at the two pillars of the imperial court.
Although she was smart, she was still a young woman with shallow knowledge in these aspects.
Such an unforeseen event in the Western Region was both expected and unexpected at the same time.
They had expected it because they knew that something would happen. They had not expected it because the situation had exceeded their understanding. Huaiqing did not even understand the specifics.
Wei Yuan shook his head.
"This matter sounds too bizarre. I can't come to a conclusion."
Zhao Shou echoed Wei Yuan's words and added, "The situation is unclear now.
"The current situation is unclear. We need to send someone to investigate first. Dhu Lohan, you said that Buddha … Let's treat it as Buddha for now. It didn't hurt you? "
Du 'e nodded.
Zhao Shou said, "Perhaps it's because you're a Buddhist.
"Perhaps it's because you are from the Buddhist sect. Are you willing to go to the Western Region to investigate again? Don't worry, we will give you enough Dharma artifacts, including pages that record the Dharma spells, teleportation jade talismans, and so on. We will ensure your safety. "
Du 'e did not hesitate.
"Alright!"
Zhao Shou then looked at the Empress and said,
"Your Majesty, immediately gather the officials and confer the title of national teacher on Du 'e and the Mahayana Buddhism as the national religion.
"Although I don't know what Buddha wants to do, it's an indisputable fact that transcendent-grade cultivators are competing for luck. It's not bad to weaken Buddha's luck."
Du 'e praised.
"Alright!"
…
Two figures flew over from the horizon overseas, bringing with them a deafening sonic boom.
The figures descended from the sky and were about to enter the sea when they suddenly stopped and removed all inertia.
However, the strong wind they brought with them pressed down on the surface of the sea, forming a ripple that was several meters in diameter.
Xu Qi'an turned his head and looked at the nine-tailed fox in Mu Nanzi's dress.
"I've decided on you. Go, Your Majesty!"
The silver-haired demoness glanced at him and said resentfully,
"You don't want to marry me, and you still want me to go through fire and water for you."
Her silver hair was like snow, and her skin was whiter than snow. She was an enchanting and charming beauty. With her skin color, she gave off a pure and noble feeling.
Xu Qi'an spread out his spiritual will and probed the situation in the sea.
"Speak properly!"
The nine-tailed fox chuckled at him.
Not long after, Xu Qi'an retracted his spiritual will and said, "I didn't detect anything unusual.
Let's go down and take a look. "
He was the first to jump into the sea.
"Plop!" The water splashed and disappeared in the blue waves.
The nine-tailed fox leaped lightly and followed him into the ocean.
…
In the throne room …
On the throne, Huaiqing, who was wearing a dragon robe, sat upright. She had phoenix eyes, slender eyebrows, a high nose, and red lips. Her originally cold temperament became dignified and cold after she put on the dragon robe.
The officials in the hall stood with their ivory tablets in their hands.
After shouting "Long live His Majesty", Huaiqing glanced at the eunuch with the palm print on the lower left.
The eunuch from Dexin Garden held the imperial edict and stepped out.
At this time, most of the officials still did not know the reason and purpose of this sudden court meeting.
