Shan Chen quickly passed through the streets. He was all too familiar with the roads in the city, but he had never walked with such urgency, such fear, such frustration, such joy, and such helplessness. A Buddhist disciple shouldn't have so many distracting thoughts, but he couldn't help it. He barged into a run-down shack in the slums and said to Prajna Pagoda, who was taking care of an old man, "The Dragon Subduing Cult is on the move!"
Prajna Pagoda's body stiffened, then she quickly wrung her face towel dry, hung it on a shelf, got up, and walked out of the shack. Shan Chen followed and said excitedly, "It's been six years. We still can't find out where they hid the golden body. But if they want to go against Buluo City, they must take out the golden body. This is our only chance! Regardless of success or failure, we have to leave this place. "
"Yes, we have to leave this place." Prajna Pagoda looked around her with nostalgia. Many people walked out of the shacks, young and old. They seemed to feel something and quietly gathered around, their eyes filled with reluctance. Prajna Pagoda suddenly felt her hand being held by someone. She would only open her "Mind's Eye" when necessary. Seeing a dirty little girl, she held her hand lovingly. "Miao Miao is back."
"Yes, Sister Pagoda. It's not good today. I only earned four copper coins," said the little girl, Miao Miao.
Prajna Pagoda stretched out her other hand and gently wiped the sweat on the little girl's temples. "You have to urge your younger brother and sister to practice the breathing technique I taught you. Whether you can change your fate in the future depends on yourselves."
Every time this happened, Shan Chen could always feel an indescribable light emerging from Prajna Pagoda's body. She had never taken it upon herself to save the masses. Instead, she focused on self-cultivation, but everywhere she looked, there was boundless compassion.
Miao Miao asked anxiously, "Sister, are you leaving?"
Prajna Pagoda nodded and waved to the people around her, then slowly walked out of the alley with Shan Chen. Miao Miao was mature and knew that this day would come sooner or later, so she didn't ask her to stay. She knelt down towards Prajna Pagoda's back. "Sister Pagoda, when Miao Miao becomes successful in the future, I will definitely find you and repay your kindness!"
The future was too far away, and no one knew what would happen. Therefore, the future could only be discussed in the future.
The sky was already turning yellow. When they reached the streets, they could feel a different atmosphere. There were very few people on the streets, and they were all from the Dragon Subduing Sect.
Four days later, the two of them arrived at a small village on the Scorching Sun Plains below Bu Luo City. From the height of a roof, they could see the Dragon Subduing Cult and the Dragon Monarch's imperial court's troops. They occupied more than half of the plains. Everyone in the village had taken refuge in advance, so the village was so quiet that not a single sound could be heard.
The entire Sea Heaven Territory was filled with towering mountains and lofty ridges. It was very difficult for plains to appear. It was true that there was no such thing. After the Dragon Subduing Sect's first failed attack, they angrily declared that Buluo City would only rely on its natural defenses. Hence, the king of Buluo City immediately gave the order to flatten the Hundred Thousand Mountains in front of the city gates. This was to prove that the natural defenses weren't essential, giving the Dragon Subduing Sect a hard slap in the face. This was how the Scorching Sun Plains came to be.
"Does Senior Brother Shan Chen know the origin of the Scorching Sun Plain?" In the tranquility of the night breeze, Prajna Buddha suddenly spoke.
The tranquility was only limited to a certain area. The clamor on the plains was like thunder in spring. However, Shan Chen could no longer hear anything. All he could see was Prajna Buddha's bright red face illuminated by the setting sun. He felt that this scene was extremely beautiful, and he wanted to deeply
Engrave it in his heart. "I've heard of the legends."
Prajna Buddha did not need to use "Mind's Eye" to keenly sense Shan Chen's gaze. These few days were especially hot, and she felt very troubled about it. "Buluo City is really a legend. What do you think the purpose of its existence is?"
Shan Chen said absentmindedly, "Every place has its own unique value. Since Buddha asked me like this, I can't give a better explanation."
Prajna Buddha said, "Then what is the purpose of the Bodhi Temple and the Empty Gate's existence?"
Shan Chen's body trembled, and his face suddenly turned deathly pale. He shifted his gaze with difficulty and smiled bitterly. "Following the Great Wizard's ideals, protecting the common people is our responsibility. When necessary, we don't hesitate to sacrifice our lives."
Prajna Buddha said, "What does the Empty Gate use to protect the common people? Don't you think it's a little arrogant?"
Shan Chen's heart was pierced by these sharp words. It was like the clouds at dusk that were pierced by flames. It looked like it was filled and glowed with infinite colors, but in reality, it was just a fragmented final radiance. He looked into the distance. "Suppress your desires with an unwavering will, weaken your ego, and won't make the wrong choice at the crucial moment. You know, I will respond to your expectations. "
"Senior Brother Shan Chen, you should keep your useful body and do more useful things," Prajna Buddha said.
"Taking back the Golden Body is my responsibility." Shan Chen shook his head.
"If you die, you won't be able to fulfill your great wish," Prajna Buddha said.
Shan Chen still shook his head, and another voice echoed in his heart: My great wish is to protect you. But I will never let you know again.
In a tent not far away, there was also an argument.
Feng Yi Yang would never have thought that after enduring for six years and giving advice to these idiots from the Dragon Subduing Sect, he would get such an outcome. "Masters, if we attack Buluo City, we will definitely suffer a terrifying backlash. Why won't the two of you listen to my advice?" He suppressed his anger and said to the sect masters of the Tantric Sect and Tantric Sect.
After knowing that Feng Yi Yang had lost his ability to be a man forever, the Grand Elder of the Mystic Divine Sect immediately used the reason that he stole the Wind Emperor Sutra and mercilessly labeled him as a traitor. All these years, he lived like a rat on the street, all for the sake of taking revenge on Tang Buluo and the Mystic Divine Sect.
"According to your infiltration plan, we still have to wait for more than ten years. Do you want us to continue living in human territory?" Tantric Sect Master Xing Yue said coldly. "We shouldn't have listened to you and Ji Wuyu back then. Don't you know that the Dragon Subduing Sect is now the laughing stock of the Asura World?"
"Those who achieve great things don't bother about trifles!" Feng Yi Yang said in a low voice, "The world only cares about the results. They won't care about who the Dragon Subduing Sect kowtowed to in the process! Forgive me for being blunt, but if we attack Buluo City now, we will definitely not get a good result. Your recklessness will not benefit the Dragon Subduing Sect at all. It will only fulfill Ji Wuyu's personal ambition! "
Tantric Sect Master Jue Liu had a cunning look on his face. He didn't really believe Ji Wuyu in the first place. After hearing this, the uneasiness in his heart was magnified infinitely. "What exactly is in Buluo City that makes you so wary? If you still hide it from us, how are we supposed to believe you? "
Feng Yi Yang said, "This is a feeling. The two of you haven't gone in before, so you can't feel it! I went in and received a cruel blow. I swore to make Tang Buluo pay the price, but I can't ignore my feelings.
Feeling: When I walked into Bu Luo City, I felt as if I had stepped into a peaceful country. There was no war, no death, no harm. They were calm and unhurried. They treated strangers with warmth and alienation. They accepted and rejected … "
"Stop, stop, stop. Aren't you contradicting yourself by describing it like that?" Jue Liu interrupted Feng Yi Yang unhappily. "You humans love to show off with words, making it hard for us to understand. I feel that this is a conspiracy! You just need to tell me in simple terms, what exactly is it that makes you so wary? "
"Powerful!" Feng Yi Yang said in a low voice. "Confidence comes from strength. If the two of you can sneak in and take a look before the battle, you will be able to understand what I'm saying."
"Feng Yi Yang, you traitor of the Mystic Divine Sect. So you're actually hiding in the Dragon Emperor Dynasty's orthodoxy."
Ji Wuyu's voice sounded outside the tent. Before he finished speaking, he had already lifted the curtain and entered. He stared coldly at Feng Yi Yang. "Masters, is this alright? The imperial court has never mistreated the Dragon Subduing Sect. Back then, it was the imperial court that stopped you from attacking Buluo City and showed enough sincerity, allowing the two of you to restrain yourselves for a period of time. Otherwise, you would have returned to the Asura World in defeat. Now, after hearing a few sarcastic remarks from an outsider, you plan to abandon the Dragon Emperor? "
Xing Yue hurriedly smiled and said, "What are you talking about? The attack plan will proceed on time. How can a traitor of the Nine Great Confucian orthodoxy make decisions for the Dragon Subduing Sect?" Compared to a traitor of the Nine Great Confucian orthodoxy, the consequences of offending the Dragon Emperor were more severe. Actually, at this moment, the Dragon Subduing Sect was no longer in a position to say no. Otherwise, the Dragon Emperor's first target would definitely be the Dragon Subduing Sect.
Jue Liu also recognized this point. He sighed and said, "Brother Feng, thank you for your contribution to the Dragon Subduing Sect. In the words of the human race, all good things must come to an end. Please leave."
Feng Yi Yang's heart was like dead ashes as he silently walked out.
One of Ji Wuyu's subordinates asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, should we kill him?"
Ji Wuyu laughed in disdain. "He's just a stray dog that was scared out of his wits by Tang Buluo. What's there to kill? On the other hand, Tang Buluo is too arrogant. The envoy that was just sent to persuade them to surrender was killed by her. Prepare yourselves, we will attack at night. " As he spoke, he cupped his hands towards the two sect masters. "It's all up to the two masters to suppress the Golden Crow True Flames."
"Of course."
The two forces didn't call for a battle because Buluo City killed the envoy and cut off all paths of retreat. Only life and death would determine the winner. The army advanced towards Buluo City. They were like a colony of migrating ants. The dark mass was like a group of dark clouds that had fallen to the bottom of the valley. A terrifying storm was brewing within. However, the sky was still quiet. The lights of Buluo City gradually lit up. There were no signs of the guards coming out of the city. This made the people on the attacking side speculate. Had the other side given up on resisting?
Ji Wuyu sat on a chariot in the middle of the formation. In front of him was wine and fruits, trying to create the demeanor of a skilled general. It was a pity that Buluo City didn't send anyone out. It was as if they didn't know that the army was approaching. Not long after, they could still hear the sounds of singing and dancing, but no one came to enjoy it. It was as if they were winking at the blind.
"Someone, come and challenge them!" His expression gradually darkened. However, just as he gave the order, the gate of Buluo City finally opened slowly. A person walked out from inside.
