Meng Qi, Zhen Hui, and Gu Changqing followed behind Hong Neng. They stepped on the gravel and walked toward Tan Han.
Although the three of them did not exert their full strength, their Lightness Skill was not weak, and they walked very fast. Hong Neng seemed to be walking normally, but he was not any slower than them. It felt like lotuses were growing with each step.
After a few hours, the weathered rocks on the vast Gobi Desert began to increase, and the terrain also became undulating. At this point, Mengqi knew that Tan Han was very close.
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened. It was not the gloominess caused by gathering dark clouds, but a kind of cool and light shadow, as if the sky was covered by a thin layer of gauze.
"Amitabha, remember to follow closely behind me. Don't be affected by the surrounding things. If your heart is not disturbed, you will be in the pure land," Hong Neng suddenly said.
"Yes, Senior Brother Hong Neng." Mengqi put his palms together and thought to himself, "Could it be that we are close to the Heavenly Sea Source? Or is it because of the Heavenly Sea Source that the scorching sun in the sky has changed to cool and comfortable weather? "
Zhen Hui looked around curiously and said, "Senior Brother Hong Neng, we haven't entered the territory of Tan Han yet. Could it be that the Heavenly Sea Source moved here by itself?"
Before Hong Neng could answer, the scenery in front of them changed. The Gobi Desert, which was originally decorated with a few weathered rocks, was endless and desolate. Now, the mountains on both sides were green, and a river flew across it. The river was so clear that the bottom could be seen, and the pebbles were all different.
Beside the river, the grass was green, and the flowers and trees formed a forest. From time to time, villagers looked up and saw the mountains and caves surrounded by fog. If one looked into the distance, the river flowed upstream and converged into a misty lake on the plateau in front of them. It was light blue and transparent, and the water vapor was rising, just like the sea in the sky.
"Heavenly Sea Source …" Just seeing this scene, these three words came to Mengqi's mind, and then he thought of another saying, "Suddenly come across a peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps from the shore, without any other trees, fresh grass, and colorful fallen petals … Enter through the mouth. At first, it is very narrow, and only then can people pass through. Then walk for dozens of steps, and suddenly it becomes clear … "
In the vast and barren Gobi Desert, to suddenly encounter such a beautiful place like the Central Plains, it really felt like stepping into the land of peach blossoms.
"Amitabha. The Heavenly Sea Source is one of the rare ones in the secret realm. It can move freely. Today, it's in Tan Han, and tomorrow, it'll be in the East Sea. If you don't encounter the entrance by chance, you'll be able to see the person in charge if he wants you to. Even if you pass through it, you won't be able to sense it." Hong Neng used a more exaggerated statement to emphasize this point. It was impossible to travel from Tan Han to the East Sea in just one day.
"This is the feeling of not being in the same world …" Meng Qi told Zhen Hui to stay close to Hong Neng through Secret Voice-sending. He told Zhen Hui not to run around and to follow Hong Neng closely. Meng Qi and Gu Changqing looked straight ahead and calmed their hearts.
"Hehe, someone's coming!" One by one, beautiful women with graceful figures emerged from the flowering trees. They looked at Meng Qi and the others who were walking on the shore and pointed at them excitedly. It was as if they had not seen humans for many years.
A young woman with charming eyes and eyebrows plucked up the courage to walk beside Mengqi and the others. She said with seductive eyes, "Young brothers, you must be tired after such a long journey. Why don't you go to my house for a rest and have some tea?"
Hong Neng looked straight ahead, as if the young woman beside him was a beautiful skeleton.
Mengqi recalled the state of mind after every time he resisted the backfire of Ananda Oath-breaking Bladesmanship. He walked past them calmly. Zhen Hui was still young, so he didn't feel anything. Gu Changqing silently said, "See no evil, hear no evil."
The women gathered around them, trying to pull their clothes and turn them home. But their hands went through them as if they didn't exist.
They were stunned for a moment, then a charming smile appeared on their faces. Their hands took off their clothes and slowly slid down, revealing their young and mature bodies. Some stroked their hair coquettishly, some licked their lips, some had a strange look in their eyes, some stroked their breasts, and some moaned in a low voice. Suddenly, the surroundings of Mengqi and the others were like a devil's dance hall, full of colorful colors and powdered skin, making it difficult to control.
The Way of Lust was so strong that it seemed to be filled with a faint pink air.
"Amitabha, Buddha's Relic, form is not different from emptiness, and emptiness is not different from form; form is emptiness, and emptiness is form. Feeling, thinking, acting, and knowing are also the same … "Hong Neng began to recite Buddhist scriptures in a low voice.
Although Mengqi was quite "knowledgeable" in this aspect, he still couldn't resist the temptation of the Nine-tailed Fox Tribe. He hurriedly used the state of mind brought by the Ananda Oath-breaking Bladesmanship, lowered his head, and recited "form is not different from emptiness, and emptiness is not different from form" with Hong Neng.
In comparison, Zhen Hui opened his eyes honestly and curiously, without any lustful emotions. He looked dull, but it gave people the feeling that he was a fool. Gu Changqing, on the other hand, breathed heavily, closed his eyes tightly, and kept reciting the Sage's teachings. He clasped his hands together, and it took him a lot of effort to endure.
"You're finally here." A sweet yet faint voice sounded, and the Fox Tribe's naked women suddenly disappeared. Everything that looked like a devil's illusion no longer existed, and the well-dressed women appeared one by one. Their faces were red, and some covered their faces. Obviously, they were embarrassed by the illusion they had just cast. Although some were also blushing, they forced themselves to be calm. Instead, they stuck out their tongues and made faces at Mengqi and the others, looking cute and naive.
Mengqi didn't know why, but he felt that they were more attractive now than before.
"Amitabha, fortunately, they don't know …" Mengqi quickly calmed his calm state of mind.
In front of them, a figure walked slowly like a willow in the wind. It was Little Fox, whom he had met before. She was dressed conservatively. Except for her charming head, only her hands and a part of her neck were exposed. Her snow-white dress wrapped her body tightly, but it didn't lose her elegance.
As the saying goes, "If you want to be beautiful, you have to be filial". Little Fox was pure and beautiful, and with her current dress, she looked even more lovely and charming. With her slender white neck and slender hands with a little baby fat, she was naturally charming. Her conservative dress didn't look conservative at all. Instead, it made people have a crazy urge to tear her clothes. She was many times more attractive than the naked Fox Tribe's phantom.
"Gulp." Mengqi swallowed and didn't dare to look anymore. He looked down and stared at his toes. When the Nine-tailed Fox Tribe's charm was fully activated, only eminent monks and Taoist priests could resist it. As a fake monk, he was still far from that. However, if he could really practice Ananda Oath-breaking Bladesmanship to the end, he wouldn't be afraid anymore …
His thoughts wandered to other places unconsciously, and he almost forgot that Little Fox was still standing in front of him.
Gu Changqing also didn't dare to look anymore. He stared at the ground, as if he could pick up some silver there.
Like Hong Neng, Zhen Hui looked straight at the little fox with pure admiration.
"Amitabha. Donor, you have grievances in your heart. It's rare for you to be calm." Hong Neng said and didn't look at Little Fox anymore.
After a while, the four of them passed by Little Fox. She was so angry that she stamped her feet and showed her naivety.
"Is there no one else in the Heavenly Sea Source?" A majestic voice came from afar. The sky was getting darker and darker. A fox head with a mouth that could swallow a mountain appeared in the sky, surrounded by eight white tails.
Its momentum was terrible. Its Demon Odor pierced the sky and reached the Acheron. It was the most terrible Demon Odor Mengqi had ever felt in his life.
The deterrence and trembling brought by the Demon Odor went straight to the bottom of his heart. Mengqi's body trembled slightly, and he was about to activate the Golden Bell Shield subconsciously. However, he immediately remembered Hong Neng's repeated instructions. Don't have the intention to fight, stay calm, and face everything with a heart of bliss.
Therefore, he restrained his Energy, Qi, Spirit, and Will. His left hand supported Gu Changqing, whose legs were weak, and his right hand held Zhen Hui, who also couldn't resist his body's subconscious reaction. He infused his internal Qi into them to help them stabilize.
"Hehe, you may appear to be a fool, but you still can't resist at this time …" Meng Qi thought proudly. His Junior Brother was a little better than him when it came to the temptation of beauty.
I'm such a narrow-minded person. I won't let go of a chance to laugh at you!
"Amitabha. Donor, why are you so obsessed with the cause and effect of the past?" Hong Neng sighed and stepped forward. He felt lighter than a horse with a bamboo stick and straw shoes.
Meng Qi returned to his "otherworldly" state and followed behind Hong Neng with a smile on his face as he floated forward.
…
Ze Luoju's camp in the Evil Ridge.
"Kang Zhi, you have to send more people to help me search for that guy." A slightly hunched, dark-skinned man, who looked and dressed like a farmer in the countryside, said with a worried face, as if he was worried about the failure of his crops this year. There was a thumb-sized mole at the corner of his eyebrow.
A scholar in his thirties, who looked like a scholar from the Central Plains, waved a folding fan and said, "Head Keeper You Huanhuan, you are the nephew of Boss Ze Luo. Your business is our business. Although Boss Ze Luo is still hiding from the Shaolin reinforcements in Hahler, as long as you tell us, we will not hesitate to go through water and tread on fire."
"Oh, don't make it sound so serious. It's just searching for a guy." The man who looked like a farmer was the head of the 72 Bandits in Helian Mountain, "Rising Yama" You Huanduo. He used to be ranked 41st on the Ranking List of Young Masters, but he was automatically removed from the list after turning 35.
He could tell that Kang Zhi was trying to provoke him, so he did not dare to answer. He said to himself, "Alas, who did I offend? I don't know which robbery I let a guy escape, but he learned Kung Fu and came back to take revenge. He killed 18 of my brothers, 18 of them!"
"I chased him all the way to Tan Han, but lost track of him. I had no choice but to come to the Evil Ridge to ask for your help."
Kang Zhi became serious when he heard that You Huanduo had suffered such a heavy loss. "Head Keeper You Huanduo, please describe the guy's appearance so that I can find a painter to draw a map."
"No problem. Kang Zhi, you are Uncle Master Ze Luo's number one military adviser. I'll leave everything to you." You Huanduo seemed to have no imposing manner at all. "By the way, you said Shaolin reinforcements just now. Who are they?"
Kang Zhi sighed. "Shaolin has put in a lot of effort. They are the president of Dharma Yard, Kong Jian, and the president of Commandment Yard, Wu Jing."
"Kong Jian? Although he has not reached the Half-step to Dharmakaya, he is still in the top 30 of the Terrestrial Rankings. "You Huanduo frowned.
Kong Jian was one of the few remaining monks with the surname "Kong".
Kang Zhi waved his folding fan. "Isn't that right? How can the peak of the Exterior of a mainstream martial arts be compared to the average peak of the Exterior? "
Although those who could reach the peak of the Exterior must have had many adventures even if they were born in an ordinary family, and the "impartation" was not bad, only some of them were blessed by nature. They had the residences of ancient gods or immortals, and could be compared to the peak of the lineal disciples of mainstream martial arts who directly practiced the supreme arts of Dharmakaya. The rest of the peak of the Exterior were more or less inferior.
"Alas, anyway, the Ancestor has returned to Hahler. There is no need to think too much about it." You Huanduo sighed.
Kang Zhi snorted. "I dare not think too much about the people of Shaolin, but I have found out about the person who helped the little bald ass. A young swordsman identified him as Gu Changqing of the Gu Family Fort. He happened to be there the night Master An Guo died. He left in a hurry the next day. Humph, if I don't punish him, people will think that there is no one in the Evil Ridge!"
"What do you want to do?" You Huanduo still had a sad look on his face.
Kang Zhi smiled. "Helping people from outside the West Region to bully the locals is one of the things Asura hates the most. I want to see if Shen Duliao will protect the Gu Family Fort."
"Don't push him too far. Shen Duliao is also stubborn." You Huanduo scratched his head.
"Don't worry, I won't push the Gu Family Fort too much. After all, they are a big family that once had an Exterior master. Maybe they have some foundation." Kang Zhi chuckled, and his expression turned cold. "I have already 'sent' a letter to them, asking them to hand over Gu Changqing's direct relatives, and then we will execute them in the Gobi as a warning to others!"
