Then, the real light from the outside world shone, and the coldness and murderous aura completely disappeared! Together with the powder-like corpse on the ground, the two of them left as the space collapsed! Completely involved in the shattered space, the young scholar tilted his head and looked back!
All that was seen was that the eminent monk, who had been extremely loyal to Buddhism and had made all necessary preparations, fell into the darkness and chaos without a trace left!
He turned his head, grabbed the clothes of Taoist Zi Jin, and his feet landed on the streets of Chang'an City!
In the blink of an eye, he felt as if the heaven and earth were spinning and the world was changing!
His mortal heart was also quietly shedding some of the dust of the secular world. Although it could not be said to be clear, he found a faint flickering light in the confusion in his heart.
The small world on Earth described by Zijin Taoist has become the place he most desires and wants to set foot in.
"Zijin Taoist...are you all right?"
Just when the young scholar looked a little dazed, a clear voice came from the other end of the street.
There were sounds of horse hooves on the bluestone road, and several figures floated in the air, rushing towards here from farther away.
Hundreds of Tang Dynasty generals and Crown Prince Li Chengqian came to the two of them! They all dismounted in unison. Crown Prince Li Chengqian walked like a dragon and a tiger, with a little worry on his face! His eyes were fixed on the Purple Gold Taoist.
"You are injured... Who did it?" Li Chengqian saw that the clothes of the Purple Gold Taoist were torn and there were some golden bloodstains on his body! He couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"Your Highness, this is not the place to talk... Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall." The young scholar, as the prince's companion, came to his senses at this time and of course thought of his responsibilities. He subconsciously spoke to dissuade him to prevent the news from leaking out.
"Shut up! This prince didn't ask you... If it wasn't for saving you, Taoist Zijin wouldn't have gotten himself into such a mess. Do you know what a loss it would be for our Tang Dynasty if Taoist Zijin got into trouble?"
Li Chengqian suddenly turned around and started to scold the young scholar! In just a few words, the young scholar turned pale and lowered his head timidly.
Taoist Zi Jin frowned. The Crown Prince Li Chengqian must have come forward and grabbed his arm.
"Master Zijin, you are too reckless! Even if you found danger... you must discuss it with me before taking action. And I am just a mortal. If you are attacked by someone because of him, and something happens! I really don't know what to do."
Li Chengqian was quite sincere, and as a prince, he had a very high recognition of the Purple Gold Taoist! In order to show his concern, he even made the book boy who had accompanied him for many years become a foil for his performance. Although such an act could prove that Li Chengqian was concerned about the overall situation! However, the book boy was no longer the same as before! This misunderstanding would probably be remembered for a lifetime.
However, Taoist Zijin did not explain. If he mentioned the young scholar's poem at this time, Li Chengqian would probably be in a dilemma!
Moreover, although he was a casual cultivator, he came to the Tang Dynasty only because of the order of Zhang Fan from the Heaven and Earth Pawnshop! But now he was still a worshiper, no matter what his position was, he could not embarrass Li Chengqian.
Taoist Zijin smiled and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. What happened today is quite complicated! But the people who attacked us are indeed from the Buddhist sect. It's hard to go into details here! Why don't you send the servant back first? I will go to the palace with you to discuss it in detail."
Li Chengqian's expression was different. He had indeed expected that the Taoist Zijin and the book boy would get into trouble, and it was very likely that it was the Buddhists who took action!
Moreover, according to Taoist Zi Jin, this matter may have far-reaching consequences!
He didn't care about anything else and waved to the soldiers behind him!
"Go... send the book boy back, and take three hundred taels of gold from my house so that he can have a good rest for a while."
Taoist Zi Jin smiled gently, nodded to Li Chengqian, and walked forward!
Li Chengqian was a little surprised, not understanding the hint from the Purple Gold Taoist's eyes. He turned around and glanced at the aggrieved servant: "Go back and have a good rest first. If there is anything else, this prince will send someone to look for you."
"Yes... Thank you for the reward, Your Highness." The young scholar said nothing more, but took a few steps back and stood by the roadside.
Several soldiers protected him and walked towards his residence in Chang'an City.
Li Chengqian looked at the scholar's back, and his heart was filled with emotion! This scholar had been with him for so many years, and the two of them could be said to have a very good relationship! They could also be said to be the people who understood each other the most.
But, it was just one day, we didn't meet.
Li Chengqian suddenly felt that the scholar had a sense of threat that made him feel difficult to control! This was not a sense of danger, nor a premonition... but a feeling of being close yet distant, with a slight edge.
"Don't blame me for looking at you differently. As a mortal, you must always be aware of your position! If you get too close to Taoist Zijin, you will get yourself killed."
He sighed. A real man would never regret what he did! Nor would he make too many explanations!
He turned around and caught up with Taoist Zi Jin, and the two of them went to the palace together!
At this moment, above the sky, there was a sudden change in the weather over a three thousand mile radius!
And the person who caused the world to change color was in the Purple Bamboo Forest of the South China Sea!
Bodhisattva Guanyin held the jade bottle in her hand. Even though she had practiced deep shrewdness, she could not help showing a hint of gloom on her face.
Behind him, many practitioners in the Purple Bamboo Forest of the South China Sea were trembling with fear as they looked at the rolling thunderclouds and lightning flashing in the sky above their heads.
"Master Afan was a little baby that I rescued from the river when I was walking on earth. This master had a predestined relationship with Buddha. In just a hundred years, he had transformed from an ordinary person into a great Buddhist master! What a pity... Such a great man died in such an unclear way."
That elegant tone suddenly changed. Although it still sounded pleasant to the ears, the slight dissatisfaction in it made people feel a chill down their spine.
"Buddha, the death of the master was indeed beyond my expectation. He had made perfect preparations, but who would have thought that the owner of the pawnshop was so abominable! He actually invited a saint from outside the domain to come to dinner." A bald monk shouted from the back, and it was unclear whether the look on his face was fake or he was really sad!
"Bodhisattva, this saint should have an explanation for intervening in this matter, right? Could it be that... this Master Tongtian really has mercy on the human race? Will he send his disciples to the human world to transcend the calamity? If so... this Chang'an City will be like an iron wall and copper prison, and the road to the prosperity of our Buddhist sect will be completely cut off."
