The next day, there was one less old monk in the Bodhi Temple, and there was a small stupa in an inconspicuous corner of the backyard.
Another day.
"You are saying that Master Daoyue has passed away?"
The official of the Tang Dynasty who came to summon the monks was shocked. He had not expected such a result.
The original list of eminent monks is actually missing one person!
Ye Yuan nodded and said truthfully.
"Master passed away the night before yesterday."
The official remembered that the Dao Yue he saw last time was indeed very old and about to expire. Although he was not happy, he was relieved.
Life is unpredictable, including birth, old age, illness and death.
But, work still needs to be done.
"In that case, the two young masters will come with me."
Ye Yuan asked hesitantly.
"Master is no longer here, and our brothers and sisters are of low moral character. Do we still want to go?"
"Yes, your names are on the roster. Even if Master Daoyue is no longer here, you will still go there."
Ye Yuan and Dialectical looked at each other and knew that they couldn't shirk this time, so they had to compromise.
"Okay, donor, can you wait a moment?"
"Hurry up..."
"good."
Ye Yuan returned to the Main Hall, and after a while, he wrote a notice explaining the reason for the closure of the temple and asking for everyone's understanding.
Holding the written notice, Ye Yuan wanted to go out. At this moment, his heart moved, he stepped back and looked back at the backyard, murmuring softly.
"Caution is the boat!"
…
The Daming Palace was located in Longshouyuan, north of Chang'an City, in the Forbidden Garden of the Tang Dynasty, which was inaccessible to ordinary people.
Ye Yuan and Dialectian followed a group of monks. The group bypassed the palace and walked out of Chang'an City via Danfeng Gate.
Ye Yuan looked at the palace next to him and felt a little disappointed for no reason, but not much.
At this time, the Daming Palace was still deserted, but there were craftsmen constantly measuring something, and a large number of Buddhist and Taoist masters had arrived.
However, there is a gap between Buddhism and Taoism due to the dispute between Taoism and Taoism.
Well, at least, that's mostly the case.
The government also knew this, so they separated the two groups so that they could do their own thing without interfering with each other.
Anyway, the location of Daming Palace is very large and can accommodate many people.
Of course, the masters of Buddhism and Taoism will not find it unhappy here, and even if they have grudges, they have to hold it back.
"Masters, please follow me."
Ye Yuan's group of people were farther away and arrived very late, so they were assigned a relatively far back position.
However, this journey is not a trouble for the young and strong Ye Yuan and Dialectian.
Ye Yuan closed his eyes and chanted sutras in agreement.
These scriptures were all chosen by the old monks in the team. Young monks like Ye Yuan and Dialectian did not have any say and could only obey.
Although Ye Yuan's cultivation level far exceeded that of his opponent, he was not exposed.
Besides, even if you reveal your cultivation, it won't have much effect.
When it comes to seniority, no matter where it is placed, it is a "golden rule."
Moreover, the vast majority of old people... do not want young people to come forward.
Simply, Ye Yuan didn't want to get involved.
He was chanting sutras absentmindedly, but his consciousness had spread out to explore the surrounding situation.
Not to mention the uncertain risks of the formless Dharmakaya, the magical power and spiritual consciousness it cultivates are very special and cannot be discovered by ordinary people. It can be called the best method of Gou Dao.
His consciousness swept across the group of bald heads around him, and Ye Yuan was a little confused.
"Including Senior Brother Dialectics and I, there are a total of forty-two monks. The result, tsk tsk..."
Ye Yuan shook his head secretly, feeling suspicious in his heart.
"...There are actually only five people with cultivation base. This is too few."
Ye Yuan couldn't understand that if a group of "high-ranking monks" had no cultivation, could chanting sutras be effective?
As the scriptures synchronized, Ye Yuan discovered that he was...wrong, very wrong.
These "high-ranking monks" are still very capable. Although they have no magic power, they still have spiritual cultivation.
With the immersion of the mind, the scriptures have a unique effect in the intertwining of mana and spirit.
Sweeping the sky and the earth, the dark atmosphere within a hundred meters radius was swept away, and everything became warm and comfortable.
Moreover, this effect is gradually increasing.
"Sure enough, you can't underestimate anyone!"
Ye Yuan warned himself secretly in his heart, but the investigation still had to continue.
The consciousness continues to spread. Only three of the monks on the right have magic power, and only two on the left.
One, four…
Then, the spiritual consciousness entered the camp of Taoist masters, feeling like a spring breeze, and the purification effect was no worse than that of Buddhism.
six…
After exploring for less than half of it, Ye Yuan's consciousness was no longer sustainable.
Helpless, Ye Yuan had no choice but to cheat.
"Give me a helping hand."
"good."
Before he finished speaking, ten surging forces entered Ye Yuan's body.
In an instant, the entire Daming Palace appeared before his eyes, and even the imperial palace appeared within the scope of his consciousness.
No one can escape.
"who!"
Ye Yuan was shaken by several loud shouts and became unsteady.
He immediately took back all his consciousness, returned all the power in his body to its original owner, and returned to being an ordinary monk again.
I felt the probing gaze from the palace several times.
Ye Yuan looked normal on the surface and was still chanting sutras attentively.
That searching gaze, once, twice, three times...
An hour later, Ye Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"It finally stopped, it was so dangerous!"
Originally, Ye Yuan's spiritual consciousness would not be discovered, but he borrowed too many external forces and was unable to fully control it for a while.
"But...that man is so strong!"
"In the palace, there is indeed a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. There are even masters at the peak of the ninth level, and there is more than one."
After the investigation just now, Ye Yuan discovered that none of the experts who came to Daming Palace were above level seven.
I don't know if such masters are practicing in seclusion in the deep mountains and forests, or if they are unwilling to come in.
In short, here...Ye Yuan is the one with the highest cultivation level.
But it's different over at the palace.
There are twelve ninth-level masters in the palace at the moment, including three at the peak of the ninth level.
There is one Buddha and one person, and there is another person who is a military commander.
There are also some who are not in the palace, I don’t know how many there are.
In addition, among the civil servants and generals above the Tang Dynasty, there must be many masters, and there are definitely not a few who have reached the ninth level.
The strength of the Tang Dynasty is really... terrifying!
Ye Yuan was somewhat glad that he did not choose revenge. After all, the enemy was too powerful and he did not have much chance of winning.
Besides, there is Tang Sanzang in this world.
If a monkey pops out, Ye Yuan won't be able to bear it.
For the next time, Ye Yuan fished honestly, without any intention of acting like a monster.
The construction of Daming Palace is an extremely important matter, so this blessing will take a full twenty-one days.
In fact, if Empress Changsun hadn't come forward to dissuade her, this hateful guy Li Er would have even thought about praying for blessings until the Daming Palace was completely completed.
Fortunately, he didn't do this, otherwise Ye Yuan would have... Thirty-six strategies, walking is the best strategy.
It's not that he's impatient and can't sit still, it's just that it's a huge torture for him to not eat meat for several years.
Although I can go back to the temple to rest at night, I am still too tired to pretend during the day.
Ten days passed peacefully, and Ye Yuan was just like an ordinary little monk, with no magic power and only a little bit of spiritual cultivation, which was inconspicuous at all.
"Dead man!"
"Master Ignorance is dead!"
At this time, everyone couldn't sit still and looked in the direction of the sound.
