"Elder brother, are you okay?" Young monk Huiming noticed something strange in Hui Xing's expression and couldn't help asking.
Hui Xing shook his head slightly but did not speak.
But he put his palms together, and Buddha's light condensed around his body, turning into a Buddha.
With the Buddha's dharma body at the center, a piece of pure land untainted by dust spreads out in all directions.
The three monks next to them, Huijing, Huiming, and Yongse, all came from a famous Buddhist holy place and had extensive knowledge. They immediately recognized that Hui Xing had made a breakthrough in his cultivation, from the twelfth realm of Buddhism to the thirteenth realm.
To cultivate a pure land free from dirt.
The situation was very sudden, but Huiming and the three of them felt that it was a matter of course.
"There is no need to call me Senior Brother anymore, just call me Hui Xing." The Buddha's light quickly disappeared, and Hui Xing nodded towards Monk Huiming.
He is different now than before.
At the beginning, I was determined to break with the past and get away from Master Kongru's door.
Now I feel guilty and shameless to call myself my mentor's disciple anymore.
First I witnessed Kongru Master Yunluo, and then I saw Xian Kaiyang, the killer's enemy, being killed by the Lord of Chang'an City, and finally he was taken back to Chang'an City together.
I thought that he would not end well, but after all, Changan cared about his old relationship with Master Kongru and did not make things too difficult for him.
But precisely because of this, his mood was particularly complicated.
His two junior brothers, Huiming, often came to visit him, and Huijing, although the master didn't have a good look on his face, was still trying to help him plead for mercy.
The two brothers served Chang'an and made some meritorious deeds. They did not ask for rewards for themselves, but used them all to intercede for Hui Xing.
After more than a year of hard work, Hui Xing was finally allowed to go to the frontier of the Western Regions to perform meritorious service.
By this time, Hui Xing's mind gradually returned to clarity.
Zhang Dongyun unified China and swept through Zhongyue Temple and Lingguang Temple.
Everyone in Zhongyue Temple, including the abbot Master Kongyuan, was captured and worked as hard laborers, accompanying Hui Xing.
His enemy, Master Kongci, was also included.
The two even work in the same place.
Kong Ci, Kong Yuan and others refused to bow to Chang'an City.
Zhang Dongyun didn't give them any trouble, he just continued to use them as coolies.
After all, they are a few Buddhist masters in the 13th realm. Their cultivation is reaching the heavens, and they can now be regarded as the main force in the hard work.
When Hui Xing met him, he naturally couldn't fight with him in Chang'an.
But he knew the rules.
Chang'an does not prohibit private fighting.
As long as it does not affect the affairs of Chang'an City and ensure this major premise, if there is any grudge between the two sides, they can resolve it themselves.
Hui Xing and Kong Ci were unable to take action because they had been prisoners as coolies before and were not allowed to be free. Of course, they could not act on their own.
Now that Hui Xing is free again, as long as he can make great contributions to Chang'an City, he will have the opportunity to appoint Kong Ci to fight in a life and death battle.
Although Master Kongci had a good relationship with Master Kongru in the past, he persisted in confronting Chang'an City for one day. Zhang Dongyun would not give him any preferential treatment, and sparing his life would be the end of his kindness.
Huixing came out this time with unprecedented fighting spirit.
On the one hand, it is to achieve meritorious service and win awards; on the other hand, it is to improve one's own realm.
Otherwise, given the opportunity, he would not be able to compete with Kongci in the twelfth realm.
Now that I have set foot on the place where Leiyin Temple originated in China in the past, and come to the former Buddhist sanctuary of Dongsheng Shenzhou, Hui Xing feels excited.
For him, there was now real hope of revenge.
I have greater hope than when I first sought help from the Six Fierce Men of Beihai.
With hope and goals, his mood became calmer and he was no longer as impatient and paranoid as before.
This allowed him to directly overcome the previous bottleneck level in one step and successfully reach the same level of cultivation as Master Kongci, the thirteenth level of Buddhism.
Brothers Huiming and Huijing looked at Hui Xing, their expressions a little complicated for a moment: "Brother, congratulations on your attainment of the Pure Land of Freedom from Impurity."
Although Hui Xing corrected the names of the two of them, the two monks Huiming still insisted on not changing them.
Young monk Yongse's idea was much simpler: "Congratulations, senior brother."
Hui Xing looked into the distance and remained silent for a long time.
It wasn't until a long while later that he sighed softly: "I must avenge myself. Therefore, I am not worthy to be Master's disciple."
When brothers Huiming and Huijing heard this, they both fell silent.
Master Kongci and Master Kongru had a good relationship in the past, and they had a deep relationship as brothers.
Even after the destruction of Leiyin Temple, the establishment of Zhongyue Temple, and Master Kongru's departure from Zhongyue Temple, the friendship between the two parties still existed.
To a certain extent, after Master Kongru left the temple, the only remaining link between him and Zhongyue Temple was Master Kongci.
Monk Huijing even sent a letter back to Zhongyue Temple for Master in his early years. He met Master Kongci and could clearly feel his kindness.
Huiming and Huijing didn't know whether this would be considered Master's last wish, but the unexpected encounter between Master Kongci and Zhongyue Temple still made the two of them feel sad.
Although Huijue intended to capture the two of them that day, now that Master Kongru has passed away, they no longer care about it.
It's a pity that Hui Xing is different from them.
Huiming and Huijing wanted to persuade their senior brother at this moment, but the words came to their lips, but they still didn't come out.
Hui Xing looked at them: "The only thing I can do for Master is to follow his instructions, act cautiously, and not involve innocent people."
"Then...Senior brother, you have reached the thirteenth realm now. Will you go back to see Master Kongci soon?" Monk Huiming asked softly.
Hui Xing shook his head: "I have to strive to make meritorious deeds for Chang'an before I can talk about anything else. I am still a person who has committed crimes and made meritorious deeds."
Monk Huijing suddenly said: "If you really can successfully take revenge, what will happen after you take revenge?"
Hui Xing fell into silence, and only after a long time did he speak out: "I don't know..."
The tone of his voice did not sound like he was answering Monk Huijing, but rather like he was talking to himself.
The two monks Huijing and Huiming also fell silent.
After a long while, Monk Huijing whispered: "Then, come with us. Master had great aspirations during his lifetime to help the common people and benefit the people. We will work hard to fulfill Master's wishes."
Hui Xing was moved when he heard the words.
He and Huijing had grown up together, and they knew that this junior brother was like the angry-eyed King Kong. Although he was a disciple of Buddhism, he had a rather strong and fiery temper.
I had broken up with him in the first place, and Zhao Huijing's temperament must have been even more decisive than mine.
To be able to say something like this now clearly shows that this fellow junior still misses his old friendship in the end.
Hui Xing took a deep breath: "What will happen in the future? Let's wait until the future. Maybe I die at the hands of Kong Ci. I will be reunited with my family by then, although it will be more than twenty years late..."
Hearing what he said, Monk Huijing's eyebrows suddenly tightened.
Monk Huiming interrupted their conversation: "Just do as the second brother said. Let's not discuss this now. Let's take a walk here. It's time to continue heading west."
As expected, Hui Xing and Hui Jing stopped talking and everyone dispersed.
After getting familiar with the heads and the ground in the Western Region, several Buddhist disciples continued westward until they left the land of the Western Region and entered the wild sea.
The desert sea here is far from calm like the desert sea between Middle Earth and Eastern Frontier, but full of dangers.
With the cultivation strength of young monk Yongse in the sixth realm, there are dangers everywhere here.
If he were allowed to come alone, he would be in danger of being destroyed even if he couldn't go very far.
Thanks to Huixing and Huijing, they took care of him and the monk Huiming.
The four of them continued deep into the deserted sea to the west of Dongsheng Divine Continent until a calm land suddenly appeared in the distance.
It was a vast ocean with several small islands clustered together in the middle.
It is the Taoist formation extending from the small island that stabilizes the sea area around the small island and prevents the turbid waves from overwhelming the sky.
This is the work of Chang'an City.
Although it has not yet been possible to cover the entire sea area from the island to the land of the Western Region with formations, thereby achieving unobstructed results, everything is already underway in full swing.
This small island can be regarded as an outpost of Chang'an City after it penetrates into the deserted sea here.
At present, the people on the island are all smart and capable people, acting as vanguards and reconnaissance guards for Chang'an. Gradually, they are extending their tentacles to the more distant Xiniu Hezhou, Nanzhan Buzhou and Beiju Luzhou.
As this bridgehead becomes more and more stable, Chang'an City's power will extend further into the distance and occupy more sea bases.
In addition to the restoration and construction of the Western Region, this is another key project currently in Chang'an City.
Naturally, it is also easy to have conflicts with people from Xiniu, Hezhou and other places.
Although Xiniu Hezhou Buddhist Pure Land is no longer as high-profile as before, it is natural to always pay attention to Dongsheng Shenzhou on the other side of the ocean to understand the trends in Chang'an City and further find out its situation.
Therefore, Buddhist masters from the Pure Land of Xiniu Hezhou Buddhism roam widely in the sea.
Facing the vanguards and sentinels of Chang'an City, these people in Foment took the initiative to retreat most of the time, but they obviously would not give up easily.
In the western region of Chang'an City, in addition to appeasing the local area, more and more masters began to move to the west to develop overseas.
Hui Xing wanted to make meritorious deeds, so he came to the front line with Hui Jing and Huiming.
Young monk Yongse was stationed on the island as a rear guard, and worked with others to build the island and further solidify the foundation of this bridgehead.
"There is less movement in the west, but in the southwest, there are gradually more monsters." The people on the island introduced the current situation to the four of them.
