"Shan Jun, the head of the Qingjiang Water God's Water Palace is here." Hong Yuanhua came to Fang Jian and said.

Fang Jian turned around and asked, "Why did he send someone here? Did something happen?"

Hong Yuanhua shook his head and said with a smile: "Nothing happened, they just sent some people over."

Fang Jian frowned. "He sent some people? Who?" Then a light bulb went off in his head. "Could he really have sent his own daughter here?"

Hong Yuanhua's face was full of smiles as he said, "Yes, each of them is charming and beautiful, as pure as water, and each has its own unique charm..."

Fang Jian asked, "How many people are there? Where are they now?"

Hong Yuanhua said, "Twenty-two people, from the eldest daughter to the twenty-second, have been sent here. They are all in the Yuquan Peak Mountain Temple. The Water Palace Master who came with us said that the Qingjiang Water God still has more than fifty daughters in the Water Palace. If the Mountain Lord feels that twenty-two is not enough, he can send more."

"Is this how you use a daughter?" Fang Jian slapped his forehead. Is there something wrong with these gods' brains? If they can't afford to raise so many, then don't have any.

Fang Jian then said to Hong Yuanhua, "I just received an order from the Northern Thunder Emperor to inspect Xihua Province. Please hand them over to Fellow Daoist Qianyin and assign them some tasks."

"And don't slack off on your patrol of Duanjie Mountain," Fang Jian instructed.

Hong Yuanhua bowed, then said goodbye to Fang Jian and returned to Yuquan Peak.

Then Fang Jian also took off and began to patrol along the edge of Xihua State. However, he had to take care of the huge border of Xihua State alone, and patrolling alone would not be enough.

After much thought, Fang Jian finally came up with a solution, which was to leave a sword energy of the Golden Sun Demon-Slaying Sword every ten miles, and attach thunder magic to the sword energy.

In this way, as soon as the Blood Demon enters Xihua Province, the sword energy and thunder method will be triggered immediately, and he will be able to sense it instantly.

Thanks to the previous battle with the blood demon, Fang Jian was familiar with the blood demon's aura, so when he left behind the sword energy and thunder method, he first traced the blood demon's aura. In this way, only when the blood demon appeared, the sword energy and thunder method would be triggered instantly.

Fang Jian immediately got busy on the long border of Xihua State.

Xihuazhou stretches over 1.8 million miles from east to west and over 1 million miles from north to south. With such a long border, no one else, let alone a true immortal, would have so much magic power and divine consciousness to control.

But Fang Jian was different. With the Purple Chen Thunder Spirit Tree, he had no shortage of mana, and he didn't need to leave behind any spiritual thoughts to monitor these sword energy and thunder techniques.

He only needs to attach the thunder method to the sword energy. As long as the thunder method is triggered, the Zichen Thunder Spirit Tree will be able to sense it immediately, and Fang Jian, the master of the Zichen Thunder Spirit Tree, will also be able to perceive it at the same time.

Just as Fang Jian was making arrangements along the border of Xihua Province, the Northern Thunder Emperor also began to deploy searches and encirclement and suppression of the Blood Demon.

The Northern Thunder Emperor dispatched two Earthly Evil Generals to all the major states except Xihua State, ordering them to lead the heavenly soldiers and hold the Northern Thunder Emperor's thunder talisman to search for the Blood Demon in each state.

Especially in several large states adjacent to West China State, the largest number of personnel were deployed.

The Northern Thunder Emperor personally took charge of Juanchen Province, east of Xihua Province. At the same time, his Taiyi Golden Immortal's divine consciousness was instantly released, and in a breath, the entire Juanchen Province was included.

Afterwards, the Northern Thunder Emperor gave an order, and the Earthly Demon Generals of each state immediately sacrificed their thunder talismans. The thunder talismans instantly emitted a thousand-foot-long divine light, shining towards the land below.

Afterwards, these earthly evil generals and heavenly soldiers began to search the land below inch by inch from all directions, holding thunder talismans.

As long as the blood demon is illuminated by the divine light of the thunder talisman, no matter where it hides, it will immediately appear.

...

Dingqingzhou, Tiancang Mountain.

The breeze was blowing gently, the white clouds were floating in the air, and a discussion on Taoism was going on on the top of Qionglin Mountain.

Sitting on the left are three Buddhist immortals, and sitting on the right are three Taoist immortals.

Of course, there was also a real immortal man with a handsome appearance and a scholarly air, sitting cross-legged on the Buddhist side.

However, he did not participate in it, nor did he receive ordination, but just held the title of a Buddhist disciple.

"Is it people who see flowers as beautiful? Or is it flowers that see people as beautiful?" A Buddhist immortal raised a question at this moment.

The Taoist immortal in the middle of the other side replied, "People see the beauty of flowers. Flowers bloom brightly and their fragrance is pleasant, so people see them as beautiful."

The Buddhist immortal on the left said, "Since people see flowers as beautiful, why do some flowers they love and some flowers they hate? In my opinion, it is the flower that sees people as beautiful. Only this flower sees this person as beautiful, so this person can see this flower as beautiful. If this flower sees this person as evil, then this person will also hate this flower."

"No!" the Taoist immortal retorted, "Flowers and plants haven't developed any intelligence, so how can they discern the beauty and ugliness of people? I believe that the world is dominated by the human heart. If the heart loves something, it is beautiful; if the heart hates something, it is ugly. Therefore, we must cultivate our hearts and enlighten our nature, discarding the dross and retaining the essence. Only then can we see the beauty of all things in the world. Therefore, it is like people seeing beauty in flowers."

But the Buddha said, "Flowers bloom differently, each with its own beauty. But people's preferences vary, and they are picky and have their own preferences. Therefore, people in the world have a distinction between beauty and ugliness, but flowers and trees do not."

"So, flowers are beautiful when they see people." said the immortal of Buddhism.

Then both sides started to discuss this issue for a long time, and even used their magic power to make many different flowers grow around them for discussion.

For a moment, the top of Tiancang Mountain was covered with fragrant flowers, the spiritual light was charming, and even attracted many beautiful butterflies to dance among the flowers.

The two sides argued for a long time, but there was still no winner, and neither side could convince the other.

Then, the Taoist Immortal shifted his gaze to the scholarly Immortal who had remained silent the entire time, and asked, "Daoyou Xu, do you think it's people who see beauty in flowers? Or is it the flowers who see beauty in people?"
