Before Chenya entered the Sui Dynasty, he had always had a contemptuous attitude towards this eastern country. In his view, comparing the so-called largest country in the Central Plains during the Sui Dynasty with the Mongolian and Yuan Empire dominating the west was nothing more than a comparison between a baby and a giant. As for the Daozong of the Sui Dynasty, he could even be said to be dismissive. In his opinion, even if a sect living in a corner is somewhat famous, how can it be compared with the Buddhist sect that covers almost the entire world?
He is the second among the Four Heavenly Lords of Buddhism and the first disciple of the Wisdom Heavenly Lord. When his cultivation level was still very low, the Wisdom Heavenly Lord said that if you break through the confusion in front of you, you can become a Buddha immediately. Even King Maharaja once praised him, saying that he was a disciple of the Buddhist sect who had great potential to become a deity.
But he wants to get rid of that speck of dust in his heart.
All this time, Chen Ya didn¡¯t know what Chen was in his heart. I feel a little sad every time I think of the words of Maharaja Mingwang. King Ming said that if he could not get rid of the dust in his heart, he would be only a few steps away from perfection. It seems close at hand, but in fact we can never reach the other side.
Under the moonlight of Chang'an City, he firmly believed that the red-robed priest was the dust in his heart. Then he planned to kill the great priest of the Dao Sect to get rid of the dust in his heart and establish perfection.
However, he found that he was wrong, very wrong.
He underestimated the power of Taoist Hezi and was too conceited about his own power. Since his practice, he has rarely encountered an opponent. After leaving the Snowy Mountains, he was even more invincible. Even in the impregnable Chang'an City of the Sui Dynasty, he was still able to kill people with ease. Relying on the Wuxiang Kung Fu, he traveled through the blue sky and under the bright sun, ignoring those people from the Sui Dynasty who were secretly searching for him. He even deliberately teased the fair and chubby Taoist.
The little fat Taoist was wearing a dark black Taoist robe, and his status in the Taoist sect was obviously very respected. But he couldn't see through his own phaseless skill, so Chen Ya's contempt for Daozong became even stronger.
Today, he finally understood that Daozong had such a high status in the Sui Dynasty not only because of the admiration of the Emperor of Sui Dynasty, but because of Daozong's own extraordinary strength. Taoist Heji's third eye easily saw through his phaseless technique, but the great priest's repulsive power left him unable to fight back.
Facing such an opponent, Chen Ya felt a complete sense of powerlessness in his heart.
Fighting, there is no chance of winning.
Taoist Heji's repulsion spread all over his body. The moment he rushed towards Chen Ya, although Chen Ya only had time to change the seal he was holding, he still made his strongest attack. He can transform all kinds of magic with his fingers, but the most powerful magic still comes from its origin. His strongest cultivation skill is fingering, not any other method.
He practices flower-twisting.
When Taoist Heji was about to approach him, he hit Taoist Heji squarely on the chest with his finger. However, the inner energy that can kill an eighth-level master with just one finger hit Taoist Heji, but it did nothing as if the stone was sinking into the sea. The repulsive force stirred up his fingers without a trace.
Then, he was blown away by Taoist Heji's powerful repulsive force.
For the first time, he was embedded in the wall, but he was still able to struggle out on his own. The second time, when he landed, he smashed four or five cold bluestone slabs, and countless bones in his body were broken. He could no longer stand up.
Chen Ya tried to sit up, but couldn't support his body at all.
Lying on the ground, he watched the red-robed high priest slowly walking towards him, but he couldn't even avoid it. The man's steps were steady and casual, as leisurely as strolling in the courtyard. The man's eyes were contemptuous and indifferent, as if in his eyes Chenya was a weak sheep, or even an ant. The man's bright red robe swayed gently in the night wind, like a ball of hot and violent fireworks.
Chen Ya watched Taoist Heji gradually approach him, and suddenly felt a strong sense of unwillingness in his heart.
It¡¯s not that I¡¯m not willing to die, it¡¯s that I¡¯m not willing to die in such a humble way. He once imagined that even the death of a person like him would be earth-shattering. But today, under the hands of Taoist Heji, he was so humble and weak. What was earth-shattering was not his failure, but the strength of his enemy.
"I told you, you can't leave."
The gap on Taoist Heji's forehead slowly opened again, and a ray of dark red light loomed.
Chen Ya is sure that he has no resistance to Taoist Hexi's illusion binding technique. Although he was unwilling, he couldn't resist.
The vertical eyes on Taoist Heji's forehead flashed red, and Chen Ya's body suddenly trembled and then lost his freedom.
But when Taoist Heji was only ten meters away from Chenya, heSuddenly his expression changed, he waved his robe sleeves back, and with a bang, his body suddenly accelerated towards Chen Ya who fell to the ground. But the moment he barely touched Chen Ya's body, a white lotus filled with holy aura suddenly appeared in front of him.
A very strange lotus flower, white and crystal clear.
The five-petal flowers look so beautiful under the moonlight, their beauty is breathtaking. The holy aura wafting out of this huge white lotus can even make people's breath suffocate. If there were ordinary people present at this time, I am afraid that many people would be unable to resist the breath of the white lotus and kneel down to worship.
The lotus flower has five petals when it opens, and its light even exceeds the bright moon in the sky.
Taoist Heji's eyes sharpened, and his cultivation reached the extreme level. His hands suddenly pushed forward, and the two broad sleeves immediately bulged up like sails filled with wind. Two overwhelming repulsive forces hit the five-petaled white lotus in full bloom, as powerful as two tornadoes sweeping across the sky and the earth.
At the same time, Taoist Heji paused for a moment before continuing to move forward.
There was a crisp sound.
Under the fierce bombardment of Taoist Heji's two repulsive forces, two of the holy five-petal white lotus' petals cracked, just like the clear crystal petals being cracked open. But the white lotus was still there, with two petals broken into pieces, but it did not retreat at all under Taoist Hexiao's blow.
The dazzling white light on the lotus suddenly flashed, and the vertical eyes on Taoist Heji's forehead stung. He could only stop and cover his whole body with his sleeves. When the white light dissipated, where would there be lotus flowers and dust?
¡¡
¡¡
Taoist Heji waved his sleeves, and the dazzling white light on the street was dispersed. The dust was also blown away by this sweeping hurricane, and the street immediately became clear again. He looked at the place where Chen Ya fell before. The bluestone slabs on the ground were broken into pieces, but there was no sign of that mysterious and beautiful person.
Taoist Heji's face darkened, and he squatted on the ground and looked carefully. There was nothing else on the ground except broken bluestones, and even the blood flowing from Chen Ya's body seemed to have been evaporated by the dazzling white light from before. He searched carefully for a while, but found nothing.
The white lotus broke two petals, but nothing was left.
Just as Taoist Heji stood up slowly, a figure flew over under the moonlight like lightning. In an instant, the man had arrived in front of Taoist Heji. This is an old man wearing a light blue robe, about fifty years old. He has a long beard, and there is a faint smell of dust in his dancing.
This old man was exactly the man who appeared on the roof of the building opposite Keshengju that day when the border troops clashed with Wang Ding and others. It was this person who knocked away Shen Qingfan who had entered the military department with a single sword that day. If the old cripple hadn't appeared in time, Shen Qingshan wouldn't have been able to escape the disaster.
The old man in light blue clothes took a few steps forward, clasped his fists and leaned forward slightly, saying, "I've seen the Taoist priest."
Taoist Heji also returned the salute, and then smiled mockingly and said: "I alarmed you, but I couldn't keep that man. I didn't expect that he actually had followers with advanced cultivation levels and extremely fast movement skills. I couldn't. See the shadow of his comrades."
The old man was obviously surprised: "You didn't even see that person?"
Taoist Heji nodded, with deep worry and solemnity between his brows.
The old man was silent for a while and said: "It doesn't matter, we can't go far."
The old man thought for a while and said: "Even at night, as long as the city gate is not open, no one, even Maharaja Maharaja, can get out of Chang'an City. Just like if the city gate is not open, no one, not even Maharaja Maharaja, can get out of Chang'an City." It's just like you can't enter Chang'an City. It's just that Chang'an City is too big and there are too many gates. The soldiers guarding the city can't tell who is the enemy with advanced cultivation. But it's hard for them to get in easily. "
Taoist Heji was slightly startled. Although he didn't know where the old man's confidence came from, he knew that as an old man, he would never talk nonsense, so he made a decision immediately.
"Separately search"
The old man hummed and said, "Ifshould I ask Master Xiao to come forward?"
He didn¡¯t finish his words, but Taoist Heji understood what he meant.
"No need"
Taoist Hezi shook his head, chose a direction and said, "I'll look over there, you go to the other side."
The old man nodded: "It is expected that there is no need to work for Master Xiao. I have already informed the Ouchi Guards Department, and the experts from the Ouchi Guards Department will arrive soon. Even if the two commanders do not come, if Mr. Zhuo Here we are, who else can escape?"
Taoist Heji frowned slightly.?, he didn¡¯t seem to like dealing with this old man. He hummed, waved his sleeves outward, and shot into the sky like a cannonball. After the old man watched Taoist Heji disappear, he shook his head helplessly and sighed, then turned around and headed in another direction.
Not long after the two people disappeared, another person arrived. He was dressed in cloth and had a solemn expression.
It is Zhuo Buyi from the Ouchi Guards Department.
He first looked at the traces left by the fight, frowned and pondered for a moment. Then he actually sat down on the street cross-legged without pursuing in any direction.

Early morning
The summer sun always rises very early. While people are still sleeping, it has quietly climbed over the towering city wall of Chang'an City from the east. As the sun rises, the streets gradually become lively. The breakfast chef, who got up very early to start work, was busy setting up the tables and chairs, and then started kneading noodles and boiling water.
When Fang Jie opened the door, the aroma of hot noodle soup was already wafting out.
Fang Jie, who had changed into a brand-new frontier army uniform, had obviously been carefully groomed, and his hair was meticulously combed. The black Sui military uniform on his body is straight and neat, and the oiled leather combat boots on his feet look particularly beautiful. A black belt was tied around his waist, with a very special sign hanging on it.
There is one word engraved on the brand.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
This is the badge that symbolizes the identity of the candidates of the Yanwu Academy. It was issued to him by the Ministry of War before. If you want to enter the Yanwu Academy for the exam, you must show your waist badge to verify your identity. Only candidates who have registered and been confirmed will be distributed.
The young man, who was originally clean and handsome, became even more handsome after deliberately dressing up. Especially the well-tailored military uniform gave him a more powerful aura. Although Fang Jie didn't sleep well last night, it was obvious that he was in good spirits today.
"Get up, little Fang, it's so early!"
Lao Sun, who was selling hot soup noodles and xiaolongbao at the door, greeted him warmly. Fang Jie smiled and said, "It's never as early as you are. I woke up by smelling the aroma of xiaolongbao."
Lao Sun chuckled and said, "I'm counting on this to support my family, so I can't be lazy. But you, why do you have to go out so early today?"
Without waiting for Fang Jie's answer, Lao Sun suddenly slapped his forehead and said apologetically: "Oh! I forgot. Today is the big day for the examination at the Yanwu Academy! Old lady, go get a bowl of noodle soup and put in three times the amount of shredded pork." , and then make another batch of steamed buns. The skin should be thin and the fillings should be big. Today is a big day for Mr. Fang to take the examination at the Yanwu Academy, so he needs to be full! "
"I know, old man!"
The old grandson's daughter-in-law smiled brightly, twisted her bucket-thick waist and walked towards the panel to roll out the leather buns: "Little Mr. Fang, you must come back with a top three, I'm very optimistic about you! Don't let those white-faced guys who have a better background and don't know how high the sky is. You have the upper hand. Although you have only lived here for a few days, the neighbors are waiting for you to come back from the Yanwu Academy with good news!"
"I'm treating you to this meal today for free! I wish you, Mr. Fang, a great start and immediate success! We, the couple, can't do anything else, this meal is what we want!"
Lao Sun said with a smile.
Fang Jie cupped his fists to say thank you, and then took a deep breath of the refreshing morning air. He opened his arms and stretched his body, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
feels good.
The heart is very calm.
Fang Jie looked at the busy couple, Old Sun, and said thank you in his heart. Looking at the two couples, he seemed to see Aunt He holding a large basin of dirty water and cursing in the street, Su Tugou butchering the dog and the proprietress serving the wine, and Fan Gu's blind dates, all looking at him. He smiled and said, "Xiao Fang Jie, you are being embarrassed by us!"
