Fa Xin brought Yongse along and preached Buddhism along the way. They didn't only interact with the higher-ups.
They also interacted with the commoners. In fact, they interacted with even more commoners.
Master Fa Ning, who was also from the Lingguang Temple, begged for alms with the commoners of Western Zhou while asking for news about his fellow disciples.
Following the commoners' words, he arrived at the eastern counties of Western Zhou.
When he arrived here, he also heard the news that had spread from Chang 'an to Western Zhou.
Fa Ning didn't question or care about the news that the land in Chang 'an was fertile.
What he noticed was that Fa Xin and his disciple were likely to continue heading east to the lands under Chang 'an.
After thinking for a while, Master Fa Ning headed for Chang 'an.
What he didn't know was that about half of the five easternmost counties of Western Zhou were covered by Invincible City.
Even before Grandmaster Fa Ning arrived at the old Tang mentioned by the Western Zhou people, he was already exposed to Zhang Dongyun.
Master Fa Ning looked ordinary, but his Buddhist cultivation made Zhang Dongyun raise his eyebrows slightly.
The monk kept a low profile, unlike Fa Xin who went around giving lectures and recruiting disciples.
Master Fa Ning only continued to quietly ask around for the whereabouts of his fellow disciples.
In Tiexi County of Western Zhou, he asked for alms and it went smoothly.
However, after crossing Tielun Mountain and arriving at Hexi County, the situation changed.
The commoners there were extremely repulsed by Master Fa Ning, who had a bald head and wore a kasaya.
When they heard that he was asking about the whereabouts of Fa Xin and his disciple, some commoners even showed hostility. They even reported it to the authorities after he left.
An ominous premonition arose in Master Fa Ning's heart.
Naturally, the locals and martial artists couldn't catch him.
Before everyone had gathered, Master Fa Ning had already arrived at the next city.
Finally, he heard some news.
Fa Xin and his disciple held a lecture in Hexi County, and they attracted the attention of the local experts.
Some said that the two monks were beaten to death, while others said that they were captured alive.
However, no matter which rumor it was, it was obviously not optimistic.
Master Fa Ning's heart was heavy. He began to consider whether he should visit Chang 'an directly and persuade them to let them go.
But if Dharma Xin and his disciple had already been killed, then things would be difficult.
As Master Fa Ning pondered, he quietly crossed Hexi County and approached Chang 'an City in Longbei County.
In the distance, he gradually saw a boundless city wall appear.
Seeing this, Master Fa Ning said thoughtfully, "Is this Chang 'an City?"
It was said that Chang 'an City had multiple city walls.
Zhang Xuan believed that the further he went, the tighter the security would be. It would be difficult for him to evade their eyes and ears and enter the legendary inner city.
Just as Master Farning was thinking this, he was suddenly startled. Then, he looked to the side of the ground.
The earth suddenly shook, and a giant black snake with a pair of wings on its back rushed out from the ground.
There seemed to be black flames burning fiercely in his eyes. It was breathtaking, causing those who saw it to be terrified.
However, Master Fa Ning's expression remained the same. He only sighed softly. "There is indeed a master in Chang 'an. Would it be possible for you to come out and meet him?"
"Are you a monk from the Lingguang Temple in the Central Region?"
Yun Xing, who had already turned into a flying serpent, spoke in human language. "Sneaking into Chang 'an like this, how dare you make such a request?"
"I was forced to do this to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts."
Master Fa Ning said quietly, "I came here with no evil intentions. I just heard that my senior brother and junior nephew offended Chang 'an and were detained by the Chang' an. Therefore, I came here to visit the master of Chang 'an, hoping to resolve the misunderstanding and conflict."
Yun Xing said coldly, "Are you talking about Dharma Xin? He is still stubborn and impertinent to this day. He must continue to stay here and be punished until he realizes his mistake. "
Master Fa Ning said, "Please allow me to visit the master of Chang 'an and make an exception."
"You have no right to speak just because you sneaked into Chang 'an!"
The giant flying serpent shouted coldly. Then, it opened its mouth and the rolling black flames turned into a sea of fire, surrounding Master Fa Ning.
Master Fa Ning stood still as a golden light appeared around his body.
The golden light did not turn into Mount Meru, nor did it turn into an impermanence fog. Instead, it condensed around Master Fa Ning's body and turned into a crystal that was as bright as crystal, as transparent as glass, and as hard as diamond.
Surrounded by the crystal, the black flames could not get any closer to Master Fa Ning's body.
The crystal that seemed transparent and fragile was indestructible.
The eminent monks of the Ninth Realm of Buddhism could obtain the image of Diamond. With great wisdom and fearlessness, they could transform into something indestructible.
Seeing this, Yun Xing sneered.
A demonic light flashed across his eyes.
Master Fa Ning's body, which had been suspended in mid-air, suddenly fell.
A strong gravitational force came from the ground below him.
Under the protection of Diamond, his body hit the ground. The soil on the ground suddenly softened as if it had turned into water.
Master Fa Ning's body sank into the ground. The soil surged up and buried him.
After Grandmaster Fa Ning sank into the ground, although he was protected by the Vajra, the soil in all directions suddenly hardened and began to compress with him as the center.
Master Fa Ning's expression was calm and serene. He suddenly raised a hand and pointed his finger at the top of his head.
The Divine Light Illumination of the Lingguang Temple's Dharma was unleashed.
His attack was different from that of the old monk Fa Xin.
Under the illumination of the Divine Light, the soil around him suddenly cracked.
Then, Master Fa Ning calmly rose to the ground under the illumination of the Divine Light.
The Diamond was indestructible and could cut off all troubles.
Under the support of Diamond, Master Fa Ning had both offense and defense. He easily dispelled Yun Xing's supernatural power.
"I'd better go see the City Lord of Chang 'an myself."
After saying that, he used Divine Light Illumination again. His fingertips shone brightly and blocked Yun Xing's path. Lotuses bloomed under his feet as he rose into the air and flew into the city of Chang 'an.
But in the next moment, the Divine Light he had cast was suddenly torn apart by an invisible force.
Faint ripples began to bloom on the pale golden transparent crystal surface of Grandmaster Faning's Vajra Avatar.
In the next moment, the ripples expanded.
Master Fa Ning's protective Diamond seemed like it was about to be penetrated by the invisible force.
He looked back and saw Yun Xing's Flying Serpent flapping its wings and flying out of the torn light screen. It chased after him.
The other party opened its mouth, but no sound came out.
However, it was this inaudible sound that seemed to have taken shape and was about to pierce through Master Fa Ning's protective Diamond.
The cultivation of Buddhism came from the inside out. Everything came from the heart, from the spirit.
"God-shaking Howl …"
Master Fa Ning recognized that this was the special supernatural power of Yun Xing's Flying Serpent. It used its own power to hurt the spirit to attack the opponent's spirit.
The effect would turn from illusion to reality.
If the opponent's spirit was really broken, then this invisible sound would also turn into a sharp weapon that could pierce the opponent's heart and tear apart his spirit.
The ripples that appeared on Master Fa Ning's protective Diamond were actually a reflection of the changes in his spirit.
The Flying Serpent's God-shaking Howl was already attacking his spirit.
If the protective Diamond that represented his spirit was broken, it meant that his spirit would be hurt.
"The mixed-blood Flying Serpent shouldn't be able to use God-shaking Howl."
Master Fa Ning was still calm. "Could this be the doing of the City Lord of Chang 'an? Then he's smarter than I expected … "
Seeing that his protective Diamond was shaking more and more and was about to collapse, Master Fa Ning put his palms together.
"If I don't subdue you completely, it seems like you'll continue to pester me."
As he spoke, the Buddhist light around Master Fa Ning's body suddenly increased.
His protective Diamond disappeared, and Yun Xing's Flying Serpent could no longer hurt him.
The Buddhist light around the monk condensed into a three-foot tall Golden Buddha body.
Although the Golden Buddha body was not as large as Yun Xing's body, its hands formed a Motionless Fundamental Mudra and sat upright in the void. No matter how Yun Xing's Flying Serpent attacked, the Golden Buddha body remained unmoved.
The black flames could not burn the flashing Golden Buddha body.
The power of the earth could not drag it down.
The invisible sound of God-shaking Howl could not break through the Golden Buddha body.
Yun Xing's Flying Serpent was shocked. "Buddhist Dharmakaya!"
The monk was not at the ninth level of Buddhism, the Vajra Realm.
The monk Fa Ning in front of him had already cultivated a Buddhist Dharmakaya and was an expert above the ninth level.
Although the old monk Fa Xin started cultivating earlier than him, the difference in strength was not just one level.
Master Fa Ning did not use any Lingguang Temple Dharma and only revealed his Dharmakaya. Yun Xing's Flying Serpent could not do anything to him.
Under the cover of the Dharmakaya, Master Fa Ning calmly reached out.
His Buddha-like, three-foot tall Dharmakaya formed a mudra with one hand and reached out with the other to grab Yun Xing.
As his palm reached out, it seemed to contain a natural wonder.
Yun Xing's originally huge body seemed to be enveloped by the palm at this moment and was about to be squeezed in the palm.
Yun Xing flapped his wings and tried to escape.
However, no matter how fast he flew, the Buddha's palm was getting closer and closer to him. It looked like it was about to grab him.
However, at this moment, a palm suddenly reached out from the side.
The seemingly small hand collided head-on with the huge Buddha's palm that could grab heaven and earth.
In the end, it was Master Fa Ning's Dharmakaya that fell back.
The palm stopped steadily in its original position.
Yun Xing's Flying Serpent looked in the direction of the palm and saw a black sleeve.
The black-robed old man who had frightened him previously made him feel at ease like never before.
"How dare you be so impudent in the Unmovable Realm?"
Mr Dark Cloud retracted his palm and calmly placed it behind his back. He looked at the three-foot tall Buddha's light figure in front of him.
The first level of Buddhist Dharmakaya was also known as the tenth level of Buddhist cultivation. It was called "Unmovable".
Those who were unmovable were as immovable as a mountain, undisturbed by troubles.
Whether or not a Buddhist cultivator had cultivated a Dharmakaya was a world of difference.
To a certain extent, a tenth level Buddhist cultivator who had cultivated a Dharmakaya at the Unmovable Realm was almost immune to the attacks of all cultivators from the first to the ninth level.
No matter how many of you attacked, I would remain as immovable as a mountain.
However, after just one move, Master Fa Ning was certain that the black-robed old man in front of him was not among those people.
The other party's level could also be summed up in two words.
Chasing the Deer.
