"Your Majesty's magnanimity and love for the people is the blessing of the world."
Huiming was very calm about Mr. Dark Cloud's question.
He didn't know which of the Twelve Kings of Hell was the City Lord of Chang 'an.
But it was undoubtedly a great thing for such a top master to be magnanimous and empathize with the people.
Monk Huijing said, "I want to stay and benefit the people under Chang 'an together with Junior Brother Huiming."
"Chang 'an will tolerate those who follow the rules."
Mr. Dark Cloud said indifferently, "Huiming should have already told you about this?"
"Yes, I understand." Huijing put his palms together.
Zhang Dongyun knew exactly what the other party was thinking.
Seeing was believing. Huijing came here hoping to see the situation between Chang 'an and the Twelve Kings of Hell with his own eyes.
If the other party really treated the people well and benefited the world, then he was willing to be driven by them and contribute to the world.
If not, then he would have to make other plans …
Zhang Dongyun didn't care much about this.
He could tolerate people having all kinds of ideas.
If someone tried to be sneaky, he could naturally make the other party say no but be honest.
"You may leave." Mr. Dark Cloud ordered, "Remember to inform your master about what happened earlier."
Huijing and Huiming were silent when they heard this.
Chu Chaowen and Lu Xian were fine, but Hui Jue was the successor of Zhongyue Temple and came from the same sect as them.
If their master, Master Kong Ru, knew what he would do.
"I was busy rushing to Chang 'an and didn't have time to inform my master. I will contact him now." Monk Huijing sighed and then agreed.
Although it wasn't as convenient as the Confucian's ability to see words as if they were faces, Huijing and Master Kong Ru were both masters who had cultivated Buddhist Dharmakaya and had their own ways of contacting each other.
Even if the Central Plains and the Eastern Border were tens of thousands of miles apart, it didn't hinder their communication. It was just not as convenient as the Confucian's ability to see words as if they were faces.
Master Kong Ru, who was far away in the Central Plains, was silent for a long time after receiving his disciple's message.
In the end, he sighed softly and walked out of the temple where he lived in seclusion.
The seemingly ordinary old monk took a step forward, but he was able to traverse thousands of miles of land.
Soon, he arrived at one of the three great Buddhist Holy Lands of the Central Plains, Zhongyue Temple.
The young monks at the mountain gate were all at a loss when they saw Master Kong Ru.
Master Kong Ru had already left Zhong Yue Temple long before they entered the temple.
At this time, a middle-aged receptionist monk hurried down the mountain and greeted Grandmaster Kong Ru, "Greetings Grand Martial Uncle Kong Ru, the abbot is waiting for you in the Bodhi Hall."
"Thank you for your hard work."
Master Kong Ru nodded slightly. Slowly, he ascended the mountain and entered Zhong Yue Temple.
When he arrived at the Bodhi Hall, he saw another white-browed old monk waiting for him.
"Senior brother, over the years, I have often hoped that you would return to the mountain, but now is the only exception." The white-browed old monk turned around.
He was the current Abbot of Zhong Yue Temple, Master Kong Yuan.
Kong Ru looked at the other party and gently shook his head. "I had no choice but to come."
"I already know about Hui Jue, Huijing, and Huiming."
Abbot Kong Yuan said, "Hui Jue has no intention of hurting them. He just wants to take them back to the temple and ask about the details of the Twelve Kings of Hell and Chang 'an."
Master Kong Ru sighed. "If the abbot wants to ask about this, why don't you just ask me?"
Slowly, Abbot Kong Yuan shook his head. "Senior brother, why are you pretending to be confused? You allowed Huijing to go to Chang 'an with Huiming. Didn't you already express your attitude? I just didn't expect you to be so determined. "
"I had no choice but to come."
Master Kong Ru's expression was calm. "Otherwise, my disciples won't be able to travel outside in the future. Everyone will want to cause trouble for them."
"If you don't get involved with Chang 'an, your troubles will disappear." Abbot Kong Yuan was expressionless.
Master Kong Ru said, "Chang 'an is benevolent and beneficial to the people. We will lend a hand and cross the river together."
"The tears of a wolf are not trustworthy." Abbot Kong Yuan shook his head. "A leopard can change its spots, but a leopard can't change its spots."
Master Kong Ru nodded. "Let's do what we think is right."
Abbot Kong Yuan put his palms together. "Senior brother, please advise me."
Master Kong Ru did the exact same thing as him. He also put his palms together. "Please forgive me for my rudeness, abbot."
At the same time, a clear and translucent Buddha's light emerged from the two of them and collided with each other.
The confrontation between the two Buddhist experts didn't seem to have the slightest bit of smoke and fire. It didn't damage the hall they were in at all.
However, the battle on the spiritual level was extremely dangerous.
Both sides spoke politely, but they didn't hold back at all.
On each other's spiritual altars, the Buddha's dharma body condensed from each other's will appeared. Then, they targeted and suppressed each other.
Whoever lost their spiritual altars would suffer a crushing defeat.
As the Buddha's dharma body manifested, heavenly flowers rained down, golden lotuses sprouted from the ground, bodhi branches sprouted, and endless Sanskrit chants appeared.
Master Kong Ru and Abbot Kong Yuan stood calmly on the spot, facing each other. They didn't speak or move.
However, the battle between the two sides had become white-hot.
At this moment, Abbot Kong Yuan's Buddha's dharma body suddenly became stronger than before.
Rays of light suddenly shot into the sky from the originally peaceful Zhong Yue Temple.
Then, these Buddha's light all gathered in the bodhi hall.
White lotuses appeared around Master Kong Ru's body, surrounding him in the center.
The sea of flowers seemed to be about to drown him.
"Senior brother, since you've returned, please stay for a few more days. Let's study the scriptures together." Abbot Kong Yuan said Slowly.
The Zhong Yue Temple had only been established for thirty years.
However, their foundation was much stronger than Nine Peaks Academy's.
Part of the Thunder Monastery's treasures were absorbed by the Zhong Yue Temple and turned into their current protective restrictions.
As the current abbot of the Zhong Yue Temple, Kong Yuan naturally had full control over the Buddhist restrictions in the temple.
Therefore, under his control, the restrictions in the temple not only increased his strength, but also tried to seal Master Kong Ru here.
Master Kong Ru allowed Huijing to follow Huiming to Chang 'an, which meant that he was biased towards Chang' an.
After Hui Jue's interception, if Kong Ru didn't come, there would still be some leeway between the two sides.
Now that Kong Ru had come to the Zhong Yue Temple for his disciple, it meant that he had made up his mind.
In the future, apart from Huijing and Huiming, it was very likely that he himself would go to Chang 'an.
Since that was the case, Abbot Kong Yuan might as well not leave any leeway.
The two of them had been in the same sect for hundreds of years and already knew each other very well. Now that they were fighting, they knew each other very well.
… It should have been like this.
Abbot Kong Yuan believed that with his cultivation and the restrictions in the temple, even if he couldn't seal Master Kong Ru here, he could still make the other party suffer a little and be unable to do anything for a short period of time.
Since Master Kong Ru dared to come, Abbot Kong Yuan believed that the other party should have something to rely on.
However, with the Zhong Yue Temple's Buddhist restrictions, Abbot Kong Yuan didn't care.
However, when those white lotuses approached Master Kong Ru, they all burned on their own.
Seeing this, Abbot Kong Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Great Solar Flame? You … Have you cultivated to the Boundless Realm? "
He instantly felt as if his mental state and spiritual altar were being burned by the invisible and formless flames of ignorance.
On the surface of the Buddha Dharma Body condensed by Master Kong Ru, balls of flames were constantly rising and falling, faintly forming a circle.
It was like a bright mirror hanging high in the sky, but also like the sun in the sky.
That was not the Great Solar Colored Glass Flame of the Spiritual Light Temple, but the Great Solar Flame of a higher level.
It was rumored that only those who cultivated the Vairocana Body could possess one of the most powerful divine abilities of the Thunder Temple.
And cultivating the Vairocana Body meant …
Abbot Kong Yuan exhaled softly, dispelling all the thoughts in his mind and guarding his mind.
The Zhong Yue Temple's Buddhist restrictions were all augmented to his body.
As a result, the speed of Master Kong Ru's Great Solar Flame was much slower.
However, it still continued to advance and suppress Abbot Kong Yuan.
"I haven't comprehended the Vairocana Body yet. I've only scratched the surface."
As Master Kong Ru spoke, he walked towards Abbot Kong Yuan.
"Senior Brother, you're too humble," Abbot Kong Yuan said in a deep voice.
Although he had not truly cultivated the Vairocana Body, he had already comprehended the Great Solar Flame and could even use it. This meant that Master Kong Ru was only half a step away from success.
Perhaps, he was only separated by a piece of paper.
He could pierce through this piece of paper at any time.
Their cultivations were on par in the past.
However, after Master Kong Ru left the temple for more than twenty years, his cultivation was already above Abbot Kong Yuan's.
Now, he was the number one person in the Zhong Yue Temple.
Perhaps, he was also the number one Buddhist in the Central Plains …
Even though Abbot Kong Yuan was augmented by the Buddhist restrictions in the temple, he was still suppressed by Master Kong Ru.
A string of prayer beads appeared in his hand.
On the surface of the prayer beads, the two colors of vermillion and pure gold flashed together.
As they intertwined, a seemingly real Vajra statue appeared in front of Abbot Kong Yuan.
This string of Acalanatha Vajra Prayer Beads was the Zhong Yue Temple's inheritance, another supreme treasure apart from the Kongming Kasaya.
With the power of this treasure, Abbot Kong Yuan finally resisted Master Kong Ru's Great Solar Flame.
However, Master Kong Ru still walked forward step by step.
He arrived in front of the Vajra statue, then stretched out his hand.
His palm seemed to condense endless sunlight, holding up a great sun.
Then, this palm that contained endless light and endless power directly grabbed the Vajra statue.
The indestructible Vajra statue that could help resist the Great Solar Flame seemed to have no power to fight back at this time, and was directly grabbed by that palm.
From Abbot Kong Yuan's perspective, that palm seemed to be extended by the Buddha in the great sun.
The Vajra statue that was grabbed by that palm was pulled back, and the prayer beads in Abbot Kong Yuan's hand were also forced out of his hand.
"Apart from the Great Solar Flame, you've also mastered the Great Solar Buddha Palm?" Abbot Kong Yuan stared at Master Kong Ru opposite him.
Master Kong Ru withdrew his hand, and the Buddhist light disappeared, and the string of Acalanatha Vajra Prayer Beads was in his hand.
"I've only mastered a move and a half, still far from it."
Master Kong Ru put his palms together and bowed to Abbot Kong Yuan, "I've offended you today, please forgive me, Abbot."
With that, he took the prayer beads and left.
Abbot Kong Yuan stood alone in the Bodhi Palace, not speaking for a long time.
