Hearing Shen Herong's words, Monk Hui Jing hesitated for a moment before agreeing, "I'll bring it back and ask my master to deal with it. No matter what, I thank you in advance."
Shen Herong nodded and handed a scroll to Monk Hui Ming.
After the other party put it away, he bowed to Shen Herong and left.
Monk Hui Jing headed west, leaving the Eastern Border, crossing the Huang Sea and going straight to Central Earth.
On the land of the Han family in the northeast of Central Earth, Monk Hui Jing found his master, Master Kong Ru.
Master Kong Ru didn't sweep around like a wildfire, nor did he go directly to the mansion of the Sacred Evolving Manor to block the door.
He went north with the Chang 'an army at a moderate pace.
Along the way, apart from taking down some enemies, he comforted the civilians who were affected by the war.
Master Kong Ru had already cultivated the fifth realm of Dharmakaya and reached the peak of the Dharmakaya realm. He had obtained the Immeasurable Pure Land.
To some extent, he was no different from the incarnation of Buddha when he walked in the human world.
For the civilians, the wounds of war would be healed by the rain of rain.
Although Master Kong Ru didn't move quickly due to the long road ahead, his influence was far-reaching. The news had already spread in all directions.
With such an earthly Buddha walking around, the local hostility and resistance against Chang 'an had been largely diluted.
To the Han family of the Da Ning royal family and the people of the Sacred Evolving Manor, Master Kong Ru brought them great mental pressure.
The way he walked step by step almost suffocated many people.
However, when Monk Hui Jing found Master Kong Ru and presented Shen Herong's gift, the Buddhist monk was silent for a long time.
Seeing this, Monk Hui Jing's heart skipped a beat, "Master, what is that?"
Master Kong Ru sighed softly and returned the scroll to his disciple.
After reading it, Monk Hui Jing was quite surprised, "This … this is the manuscript that grandmaster copied the scriptures back then?"
Slowly, Master Kong Ru nodded, "Yes, it's my master's authentic work."
Monk Hui Jing looked at his master. Although he was happy, he was also a little uncertain.
"Master, this is not a precious treasure. Furthermore, it was most likely taken away by the twelve Yama Kings when they attacked the Leiyin Temple. Now, it can be considered as returning it to its rightful owner." Monk Hui Jing said.
Grandmaster Kong Ru nodded, "Everything that happened in the past is already a thing of the past. There's no need to be too obsessed with it."
When Monk Huijing heard this, his expression changed slightly, "Master, are you saying that the other party deliberately sent this thing to put you in a dilemma and test your zen mind?"
"That's not the case." Great Master Kong Ru laughed involuntarily. "Not being obsessed doesn't mean that you have to forget everything, distance yourself from everything, or resist everything."
His line of sight fell on the scroll in his disciple's hand. "To be able to bring back your grandmaster's authentic work, Master is naturally happy. However, if there are other matters involved, then Master will not lose his composure. Since Benefactor Shen has delivered the item, we will accept it."
"Yes, Master."
Monk Hui Jing responded and said thoughtfully, "Since it can't disturb your zen mind, then what is the purpose of Chang 'an City sending grandmaster's manuscript?"
After a slight pause, he continued with uncertainty, "Uh … Could it be that it's really just a gift to thank you for stopping Tai Qing Palace's Chief Peng, or to congratulate you on improving your cultivation?"
Grandmaster Kong Ru smiled, "Master was thinking about this just now."
He put his palms together and said self-deprecatingly, "Although I'm willing to help Chang 'an, I still have worries in my heart. I'm worried that under the rule of the twelve Yama Kings, the benevolence in Chang' an is just a flash in the pan. I'm worried that they haven't truly repented."
The old monk sighed, "So what if you've cultivated the Boundless Dharmakaya? There's still obsession in your heart that you can't understand. "
Monk Hui Jing put his palms together like a teacher, "Master, you're right. However, I've been walking around Chang 'an these days. The implementation of various government decrees seems to be closely related and interlinked. There are often big plans that last for hundreds or thousands of years. It doesn't seem to be a perfunctory act."
Grandmaster Kongru smiled and nodded. "I hope that all benevolent policies can be passed down for generations to come, and that they can be improved and improved to benefit the common people. If that's the case, us master and disciple, running errands is nothing."
Monk Hui Jing also smiled, "I'll go with you, Master."
Grandmaster Kong Ru shook his head, "You go light first and go to the North Sea of the Central Land to have a look."
Monk Hui Jing understood, "Master, you mean, there's big … news about Hui Xing?"
Grandmaster Kong Ru nodded, "I'm not sure yet, so you go there and check it out. I need to keep an eye on Chief Kong of the Saint Yan Manor for the time being. If you're sure that there are clues about Hui Xing, I'll go there myself."
The old monk reminded him, "Be careful and don't get into conflict with them."
Monk Hui Jing nodded, "Don't worry, Master. I understand."
To be honest, he had no choice but to understand.
The Six Ferocious Beasts of the North Sea already had three 13th realm experts and three 12th realm experts.
Now, with his Eldest Senior Brother, Monk Hui Xing, there were a total of four 12th realm experts.
Any one of them was enough for Hui Jing to be in trouble.
Monk Hui Jing had always been valiant and courageous, like the Buddha's Vajra. If necessary, he was never afraid of sacrificing himself.
However, the situation was unclear now. He had to find out the situation first and know his enemy.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, he naturally would not be so foolish as to fight head-on with them.
However, when he thought of how his Eldest Senior Brother, who used to learn from him and was as close as a brother, was now on the side of evil and might become his enemy, Monk Hui Jing felt very upset.
During these days in Chang 'an, he had gained a lot and had a chance to improve his Dharma realm.
However, these new gains might all be used on his Eldest Senior Brother …
Grandmaster Kong Ru watched his disciple leave and sensed his depressed mood. He understood at a glance, but there was nothing he could do.
The Buddha's Dharma body was immeasurable and the pure land seemed endless. When he walked in the human world, he was like a Buddha on earth.
Even so, there were still some things in this world that made him feel helpless.
The old monk sat cross-legged and meditated. Slowly, he closed his eyes.
In Chang 'an, Shen Herong returned to Daming Palace after sending off Monk Hui Jing.
As soon as he entered the palace, he bumped into Ao Kong's daughter, Ao Ying.
When the two of them met, Ao Ying instinctively wanted to speak, but the words stopped at the tip of her tongue.
In the next moment, she came back to her senses and bowed to Shen Herong, who looked like a young girl. "Twelfth Aunt."
Shen Herong stepped forward and held her hand. "It was my fault for hiding it from you earlier. Don't take it to heart."
Compared to the others, Ao Ying knew about it earlier.
Of course, she was not too early.
On the way to Middle Earth with Shen Herong and Ao Kong, Shen Herong told her personally.
At that time, Ao Ying's mind was completely blank.
I treated you as a sister, but you became my aunt …
At this moment, facing Shen Herong who spoke softly, Ao Ying smiled bitterly. "Twelfth Aunt, I know that you hid it from me and the others. You and father had your own considerations. I just found out about it suddenly, and I can't come back to my senses for a while."
Looking at her embarrassed look, Shen Herong smiled. "You really don't blame me?"
Ao Ying said, "Of course. How dare I?"
Shen Herong said, "You're still treating me as an outsider."
Ao Ying smiled bitterly.
"Let's start with how you address me." Shen Herong was not polite. "Change to something more intimate."
Ao Ying opened her mouth, but she could not make a sound at first.
After a long while, she tentatively called, "Then … Little Aunt?"
"This one is good."
Shen Herong nodded. "That's it. Call me a few more times."
Ao Ying did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Okay, okay …"
Although she did not know whether to laugh or cry in her heart, Ao Ying was slightly relieved.
She guessed that Shen Herong was probably doing it on purpose. In front of her, he seemed to be more childish than his age, but this still relieved a lot of her pressure.
Interacting with this Little Aunt gradually made her feel relaxed.
"You're about to cultivate the Devil's True Body, right?" Shen Herong suddenly asked.
Ao Ying heard this and said seriously, "There's still some distance. I'll work harder and strive to cultivate the Devil's True Body as soon as possible."
Shen Herong nodded as she walked, "Eleventh Brother now has the method to refine even more demonic blood, but it still requires the cultivator to have a certain foundation. Your talent and perception are outstanding, but for the sake of stability and fewer side effects, it's best for you to be like Eleventh Brother and reconstruct your demonic true body before cultivating a third demonic blood."
Ao Ying replied, "Yes, I understand."
In the Daming Palace, Zhang Dongyun smiled as he watched all of this.
When he saw Shen Herong reveal her disguise in front of Ao Ying, he felt that it was exceptionally amusing.
As for Ao Ying's cultivation strength, it was indeed improving rapidly.
To a certain extent, because Ao Kong was not in a good state and often lost control, Ao Ying's cultivation was somewhat delayed.
If she did not have a special opportunity, her final achievements in this life might be lower than expected.
But fortunately, she had a special opportunity.
And it was the best in the world.
Cultivating within the Invincible City system, with the help of the superior environment and the Devil's True Body, she quickly made up for it.
Now, with Ao Kong teaching her the method to refine various types of demon blood, her cultivation strength continued to improve by leaps and bounds.
"By the way, where's your Junior Brother?" Shen Herong asked.
Ao Ying replied, "Junior Brother He has been cultivating diligently. Not long ago, he successfully broke through to the Seventh Realm and began to cultivate demons. However, he still refuses to relax and has been cultivating diligently to prepare for the Eighth Realm."
Shen Herong and Zhang Dongyun in the Daming Palace nodded slightly.
He Sanyang was previously captured by Yang Li and suffered a lot.
Although he was rescued and now he had the bloodlines of Huan Tianlong and Celestial Wolf, the experience of having his life in the hands of others was still deeply etched in the heart of the scar-faced youth.
He had just embarked on the path of cultivation, and it seemed that he was about to say goodbye to the precarious days of roaming around and making a living.
In the end, he was directly crushed by someone whose cultivation and strength far surpassed him to the point that not even dregs were left, and he narrowly escaped death.
Such an experience drove He Sanyang crazy, and he worked hard to cultivate and improve.
"Haste makes waste. Being too impatient will do more harm than good."
Shen Herong said, "If other cultivation paths are like this, let alone the Devil's True Body. He is now in Chang 'an, so he is spared from the raging demon blood and the pain of losing control of his mind. Does he plan to stay in the city for the rest of his life? Looking at his personality, there will come a time when he can't stand it. "
Ao Ying nodded. "I will remind him."
The two of them said goodbye. Ao Ying left the Daming Palace, and Shen Herong went to the main hall to meet Zhang Dongyun.
"New method. Have you found a way?" Zhang Dongyun asked.
Shen Herong nodded. "We should be able to find Seventh Brother. But if we use the same old trick and use the scabbard to lure him into the trap, we may really enrage him. He will be filled with killing intent and destroy the world."
Zhang Dongyun said calmly, "It's okay. Let's find him first."
Shen Herong nodded. "Don't worry, Big Brother. I will deal with it as soon as possible."
"With you in charge, I've always been at ease." Zhang Dongyun said.
After Shen Herong left, Zhang Dongyun stretched and then closed his eyes.
He did not close his eyes to rest. Instead, he focused his attention on the world covered by the expansion of Invincible City.
This time, Invincible City covered an area of more than 6.4 billion square kilometers.
Not only did it cover the entire Eastern Border, but it also included a part of the eastern part of Middle Earth. At the same time, it also included the vast sea around the Eastern Border, as well as the corresponding sky and underground.
Since ancient times, there had been countless people who had excavated the relics and treasures of their predecessors.
But in such a vast area, it was inevitable that there would be fish that slipped through the net.
Zhang Dongyun was now casting the net wide to catch more fish.
Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat.
He really did find something good.
Zhang Dongyun opened his eyes.
The location was slightly off. It was not near the Eastern Border, but between Middle Earth and Northern Mang.
The vast land in the eastern part of Middle Earth was covered by Invincible City.
And this part of Middle Earth continued to extend to the sea from the south to the north. It was also within Invincible City's range.
It was just that the North and South Seas of Middle Earth were more vast. The distance between Middle Earth and Southern Wilderness and Northern Mang was even greater than the distance between Middle Earth and Eastern Border. Therefore, the system could not successfully cover even a corner of Northern Mang and Southern Wilderness.
But the sea southeast of Northern Mang and the sea northeast of Southern Wilderness were basically covered by Invincible City.
If someone dared to enter the water, it was equivalent to falling into the net.
The thing that Zhang Dongyun found was located in the western part of the sea between Middle Earth and Northern Mang.
He was about to take it out with a thought.
At this moment, a Taoist priest suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
As long as it was within the range of Invincible City, everything was within Zhang Dongyun's field of vision.
Therefore, under Master Zhang's gaze, this Taoist priest dove into the deep sea. He even sank into the reefs at the bottom of the sea and continued to go all the way down to the treasure.
This treasure was called the Dragon-Patterned Coral. It was also very useful to Taoist cultivators. It was not surprising that it was targeted by this Taoist priest.
However, what interested Zhang Dongyun was that this Taoist priest did not come from Middle Earth.
It seemed that he came from Northern Mang.
Kong Qing, a high-ranking member of the Saint Evolving Mansion who was captured by Chang 'an, was confessing some things about Northern Mang. Master Zhang was a little concerned.
"Buy one get one free?" Zhang Dongyun could not help but laugh. Sitting in the Daming Palace, he reached out his hand and waved in the air.
Tens of thousands of miles away, under the deep sea rock layer, Taoist Ming Hai, the elder of the famous Blue Sea Sect of Northern Mang Daoist Family, was about to pick the Dragon-Patterned Coral. Suddenly, he saw a blur and the scene changed.
