1158 Spectate (2/2)
”Teacher Su does spot checks now…”
”I'm lucky that I have good qualifications and I'm experienced in this palace…”
He sighed as he muttered with terms from his world of greens.
On the other hand, unlike Daqinggen, Gao Lan was certain of Meng Qi's identity from just a few sentences. He said with solemnity, ”Brother, you must have something urgent since you're contacting me in such a hurry.”
”The Luo Sect found the clues left by Xiaosang which were pointing toward the ancient Fusang tree so they are trying to open that precinct. I know that my request might be over-the-top but I can only turn to you. I hope that you can let the Emperor's Descendants, the two Legendary mighty people to provide help to seize Xiaosang's belongings,” since it was a serious matter to deal with the Legendary mighty people, Meng Qi had to be polite even though they were close to each other.
Gao Lan sighed after he heard Meng Qi's request, ”Love once begun, will never end.”
Bro, this is not the time for you to act like a sentiment saint… Meng Qi's eyes twitched.
After letting out a sigh, Gao Lan said with a faint tone, ”I had regrets so I wouldn't want you to follow my footsteps. I'll ask both Shaoxuan and Xi'e to help you. However, what you said is not related to them after all. If things escalated quickly and their lives are threatened, they will certainly not die for your cause. They will not listen to me even if I order them to.”
”That's all I ask,” Meng Qi answered calmly. He knew that Shaoxuan and Xi'e, the two Legendary Emperor's Descendants could only help him to a certain extent, so he was not surprised.
After the conversation ended, Meng Qi realized that he was surrounded by blank stares. He could not isolate his voice as he did not have his powers anymore. Although he tried to lower his volume, it was unavoidable for his voice to be transmitted to the martial artists with sharp hearing.
They were looking at himself as if he was a madman, a madman who was treating his imagination as reality. He was talking about a serious matter in the Real World and he is now acting like he's the Primitive Emperor, a highly important person in many realms!
Without further thoughts, Meng Qi muttered the Moonlight Bodhisattva's epithet silently and said, ”Bodhisattva, I would like to enter the Vaiduryanirbhasa to check out the ancient Fusang tree.”
He disappeared from everyone's sight immediately after he finished the sentence. A pair of twins cheered,
”Beautiful moonlight!”
”The man was taken away by the moonlight!”
...
Light and shadow flickered, and a pure land with greenery appeared in front of Meng Qi's eyes. It stretched across hundreds and billions of distance and covered the Buddhist country without borders. It looked clean and complete. This was indeed the Vaiduryanirbhasa he was familiar with.
The towering Bodhi tree was withering but glorious and deep with a sense of Buddhism. The Moonlight Bodhisattva was sitting underneath the withering tree with an expression as clear as the moon. His numerous shadows were overlapping with each other from all sides, ”I thought that you requested to go to the ancient Fusang tree?”
Meng Qi smiled and said without rush, ”I did have that thought and it was a strong thought. However, I asked myself, what can I do when I get there? Can I help in any way? Will I be pulling one's leg? I chose to come here after I answered the questions. I am used to the ripples in my emotions. I should hold back my desire to head there at such timing.”
The Moonlight Bodhisattva waved with his right arm and the Eight Treasures Pond of Merits and Virtues appeared between them. It showed the ancient Fusang tree in the Cloud Realm of No Thoughts.
Cracks were obvious from the illusionary sense surrounding the tree. Fairy mountains and islands surrounded by mist could be seen from the cracks.
Meng Qi sat with his legs crossed. He had his usual expression with a smile as if what happened near the tree was none of his business.
”Mister, aren't you worried, anticipated, or frustrated?” the voice of Moonlight Buddha echoed in his ears.
Meng Qi said with a smile, ”Will these emotions help?”
”No,” the Moonlight Buddha smiled and shook his head.
Meng Qi nodded and said, ”So, even if they are there, I will not be controlled or affected by them which will divert me to have a wrong way of thinking and cause me to make an incorrect decision.”
”Since you say so, what's the point of you checking on the ancient Fusang tree?” the Moonlight Buddha felt like he was sharing about the theory of zen.
”Since there will be no difference, why not?” Meng Qi looked at the Eight Treasures Pond of Merits and Virtues and saw that Shaoxuan and Xi'e who were wearing old and plain clothing teleported to the cracks by ubiquitous technique. Xi'e was holding the minimized Last Ship whilst Shaoxuan was empty-handed.
As he observed everything, he reached toward the Pond of Merits and Virtues. A purple figure emerged from his palm and fell into the water. It penetrated through the intervals and formed into a purple thunder in the sky before it flew to Shaoxuan's arms.
Rumble! The long sword looked powerful!
Shaoxuan held the Peerless Heavenly Weapon and weighed it in his hands. He gave his regards with a smile, and stepped into the crack, followed by Xi'e.
