This bustling city began to come alive again.

When Bai Jingjing pushed open the door, she saw Xuanzang sitting on a stone chair in the middle of the courtyard, looking towards the east where the dawn was just rising.

The roofs are green and the golden palace is majestic.

This Xingshan Temple is the largest and most extensive in Beijing, and is named Daxing Buddhist Temple. Its system is the same as that of the Taimiao.

Against the backdrop of sunlight, it exudes a solemn, magnificent and resplendent feeling.

Sitting in the middle of this elegant courtyard, Xuanzang seemed so out of place in the lonely and heavy atmosphere surrounding him.

Looking at the silent Xuanzang, Bai Jingjing roughly understood something.

"Have you been sitting here all night?"

There was a hint of worry in Bai Jingjing's eyes.

After giving instructions for their final arrangements at the vegetarian noodle stall last night, the master only accompanied them to the gate of Xingshan Temple where they were going to stay the night, and then disappeared.

There was no time to react, his disappearance was so sudden.

But the dense crowds of pedestrians around did not notice anything unusual.

Only Bai Jingjing and Xuanzang could notice it.

The master's majestic figure suddenly became blurred at a certain moment, and then turned into a dream bubble after taking a few steps.

For Xuanzang, it was eleven years, and for Bai Jingjing, it was six years. Everything they had experienced during that time seemed to disappear in an instant.

All that was left for them was the smile that their master gave them at the last moment.

At that moment, there were no extra words.

The master just looked at them with a smile, and then this smile was frozen in their minds.

"I'm fine."

Xuanzang looked at Bai Jingjing, shook his head calmly, and said nothing more.

Bai Jingjing pursed her lips upon seeing this, feeling somewhat worried about her senior brother.

She was not worried about whether her senior brother would suffer any physical damage after sitting here all night. She didn't believe that this strong man who could stand a man on his fist and walk a horse on his arm would get sick just because of being exposed to the wind all night.

What she was worried about was her senior brother's mental condition.

Last night at the vegetarian noodle stall, facing the series of parting instructions from Master, my senior brother also remained silent.

Unlike her who was about to cry, the senior brother just nodded silently without any expression in response to the master's final instructions.

Bai Jingjing didn't believe that her senior brother Xuanzang would not have any psychological fluctuations. The sentence "I just want to follow Master" might have been Xuanzang's greatest effort.

It’s a pity that the Master’s departure cannot be stopped.

"The Dharma Master Paraphaga Ramitora will continue to preach in Xingshan Temple today. Shall we go and listen together?"

"You didn't listen last night, won't you listen today?"

"Before Master left, he said that you have always been curious about Buddhism in the Western Regions. Isn't this a great opportunity?"

Bai Jingjing looked at her silent senior brother Xuanzang and slowly began to ask.

In order to comfort her fellow brother, she would rather go and listen to the Buddhist scriptures which she usually did not like to listen to.

"Tell me, Master, can he see me?"

Xuanzang looked at the gradually brightening sky in confusion, and fell into deep thought as he looked at the rising sun.

"You can see it. You can definitely see it."

Bai Jingjing nodded seriously.

Xuanzang remained silent for a long time after hearing this.

Looking at Bai Jingjing's serious face and listening to the sound of the temple bells ringing in his ears, his heart finally calmed down at this moment.

parting.

This is the most common pain in the world, and as a master of Buddhism, he should not be deeply trapped in it.

But fortunately, now he finally sees through it.

He believed that Master would definitely see it!

Next, he will definitely do everything to perfection! There will definitely be no problems with anything that the master has given him!

"You said before that you wanted to listen to a lecture with me."

"Shall we go then?"

Xuanzang said this and looked at Bai Jingjing.

Bai Jingjing made a face and then rushed out of the yard.

I could only hear her vague voice in the distance, which seemed to be stretched out and came slowly: "If you feel like it, go by yourself. I want to take advantage of the recent busy time when there are many monks to take a good look around Chang'an City."

Seeing this, Xuanzang shook his head helplessly.

Everything seemed to be back to normal.

The junior sister is still so lively. Born out of the character of that timid young lady, she has gradually become her own person.

As usual, he was preparing to set off to listen to the monk’s lecture.

The only change seems to be that there is one important person missing around me.

………………

"Selling candied haws~"

“The scallion pancake is freshly baked, don’t miss it if you pass by!”

"These are all freshly picked lotus roots..."

Not far from Xingshan Temple is a large market.

Various hawking sounds are heard everywhere, and various aromas continue to penetrate into the nose.

Bai Jingjing strolled around here with great interest.

However, as a dried-up skeleton, she has no interest in food, but is extremely interested in crowded places.

Six years ago, the Sui Dynasty had just perished and the Tang Dynasty had only been established for two or three years.

With the threat of the Turks outside and local separatist regimes inside, the situation in various places was much better than the chaotic times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but it was still limited.

Bai Jingjing, who was born six years ago, naturally rarely saw any prosperous scenes.

Now, she has finally settled down in the past two years, and happened to come to a big city like Chang'an. Bai Jingjing, who likes the hustle and bustle, naturally feels a little excited.

Walking among them, Bai Jingjing had a smile on her face and did not show any sadness from the separation she had just experienced.

This is because she had figured everything out earlier than her senior brother.

Last night at the vegetarian noodle stall, she firmly told her master: "I will come to find you, Master!"

This is not a joke.

She and her master made a promise that they would meet again.

Therefore, she firmly believed that she would return to the mountains and seas one day, and she was not sad. She just did her best and moved firmly towards the direction of reunion.

Bai Jingjing used the money she stole from her senior brother's pocket to buy several meals.

Although I don't have as big of an appetite as my senior brother, I still couldn't help but buy some food in such a lively occasion that I like.

Not long after, Bai Jingjing stopped in front of a shop.

The dense peach blossom patterns carved on the wooden doors and walls of this store give it a particularly atmospheric feel.

Bai Jingjing looked at the sign.

There was a plaque with the words "Bai's Peach Blossom Wine" hanging on it, which seemed to indicate that they were from a relative of hers.

So she walked in with interest.

There were tables, chairs and many large wine jars inside.

An old man sweeping the floor was standing in front of me.

"May I ask how much is the peach blossom wine on your shop's signboard worth?"

Bai Jingjing imitated her master's usual way of greeting others and bowed politely.

Seeing this, the old man who was sweeping the floor raised his head, bowed politely, smiled and said, "One dou costs three hundred coins."

"This isn't expensive. Have a bowl. If you can't finish it, I'll take it away later."

Bai Jingjing said with a smile.

It was just that the fragrance of peach blossoms in the restaurant made her want to taste it quickly.

Soon, the wine was served.

The old man also brought a plate of side dishes.

Bai Jingjing smiled and nodded, then tasted the peach blossom wine.

The wine is mellow and long-lasting, with a certain thickness. Then a natural fragrance spreads between the mouth and nose.

"With such good wine, why are there so few customers in the store?"

Bai Jingjing looked at the old man with some curiosity.

"The store is too remote. Only in the past two days will someone come in. Good wine needs to be hidden in a remote alley."

"In a couple of days I will pack my bags and go to Jiangnan to stay with my relatives. Then I will see if this peach blossom wine can be made."

"At the very least, I'm going to find that peach tree and bury a few jars of peach blossom wine, just to put an end to my dream."

The old man shook his head helplessly.

There was a hint of unwillingness in his tone, but more of it was helplessness and compromise.

Hearing this, Bai Jingjing said nothing.

The old man didn't seem like someone who needed help. He had his own goals and escape routes, so there was no need for her intervention at all.

However, the old man's words about burying the peach blossom wine under the peach tree made Bai Jingjing think of what she had been thinking about all night last night.

Because I firmly believed that I would meet my Master again, I temporarily forgot my sadness.

After a night of thinking, she decided that the best way to meet them again was to persevere. As long as she lived long enough, they would be able to meet again.

He was a transformed skeleton, and his essence came from that abyss monster with extremely strong recovery ability, so he possessed an unusually long life.

If I put a seal on myself to slow down the loss of power, and then dig a hole to bury myself, I can survive for a long time.

She thought for a long time yesterday about where she should be buried.

Now, after hearing what the old man said, she suddenly felt that the image of the bones buried under the peach tree had a special meaning.

If possible, after finishing all the tasks that Master had instructed, maybe I could bury him under the peach tree planted by the Bai family? Thinking about it, Bai Jingjing had such an idea.

………………………………

[Urgent Task: You are not the only one who can manipulate time]

[Mission Description: The monster that was supposed to be sent here by taking advantage of the loophole in the material universe has become your friend due to your manipulation on the time and space scale. In response to this, the Abyss also attacks on the time scale.]

[Task requirements: The system assists in crossing the timeline and solving the cracks in the past time and space. (Note: You need to be careful in your words and actions in the past timeline. Excessive impact on time and space will be sent back to the current time and space)]

[Status: Completed, do you want to receive the reward? ]

When Chen Sheng opened his eyes again, he found himself back in the headquarters cave.

The previous second, he was still at the gate of Xingshan Temple in 626 AD, giving his two disciples his last smile.

The next second, they had returned to the Eternal Day Headquarters Cave in 2023 AD.

Everything seems like a dream.

But Mr. Chen clearly understood that all this was true.

He really stayed in that past time and space for a full eleven years, raising the young boy Xuanzang and turning him into a super macho man.

After a moment's silence, Chen Sheng immediately mobilized his great strength that was no longer suppressed by the paradox of time and space, and began to perceive carefully.

There is no rush to collect the reward.

There are two most urgent things at the moment: first, to see if anything major has happened since he disappeared for eleven days? Second, to see if there have been any major changes in past history.

Combined with the magical skill [Past memories are witnessed by the stars], combined with the spiritual practice system that he had newly learned in the past time and space.

Mr. Chen began to carefully perceive everything that was happening in this current time and space.

Currently, mankind is safe and sound, daytime is peaceful, and there is no breath of the abyss anywhere.

Three pieces of information that he cared about flashed through his mind, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that his disappearance for eleven days did not cause any major trouble.

He even vaguely sensed that Xiaobai's breath was buried somewhere, which made him ecstatic.

Then he simply ignored what the abyss had done in the past eleven days. His consciousness reached the ocean of spiritual rules, allowing the information he wanted to appear in his mind continuously as if it were divinely revealed.

He couldn't go back in time to check, and the information he obtained was the most reasonable information summarized from human history books.

Various historical records from the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Various major trends of the times that occurred in the early Tang Dynasty.

The life and death of important people.

Everything seems to be not much different from the original history.

Mr. Chen looked at the history without major changes with satisfaction.

Until two messages flashed by, causing him to pause.

【In 651 AD, Master Jiexian passed away. 】

[In 664 AD, Xuanzang passed away at Yuhua Temple in Tongchuan at the age of 62.]

Even after his influence, the time of death of these two people seems to have not changed.

The ruthless revisionism of history made Chen feel fortunate, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel chilled.

Under the power of time, even though Xuanzang has changed so much, it seems that his original ending cannot be completely changed.

All the changes that occurred after his participation seemed to have become some kind of local legends with little influence, and unconventional history without any evidence...

Under the influence of some unknown force, those subtle changes gradually disappeared into the vast ocean of history and time, without causing any waves.

After a long silence, Chen Sheng suddenly realized something and asked the system, "Did they both reach level 4 in the end?"

When one reaches the 4th level of spiritual power, one will be immortal and can be honored as a true god. Immortality is no longer a problem.

Corresponding to the spiritual practice system, one needs to reach the eighth consciousness, the Alaya consciousness!

【Xuanzang has touched the threshold of the eighth consciousness, corresponding to half a step to true godhood.】

Hearing this, Chen Sheng's eyes lit up.

Yes, only after reaching the level of the eighth consciousness, Alaya consciousness (fourth level of spiritual power), can the vitality of that large group of monsters be completely wiped out, and only then will it have no impact on future generations.

There has been no major change in history so far, and it is obvious that Master Jiexian, Xuanzang, and Bai Jingjing were successful.

All the fleeing monsters were captured, and the vitality of that large group of monsters should have also been wiped out.

He should have realized earlier that Xuanzang must have touched the level of the eighth consciousness, otherwise none of this would have been resolved! So...

"Xuan Zang, who has already understood partial immortality, should still be alive to some extent."

"Xiao Bai's words are now buried in the soil waiting to be awakened."

After figuring it all out, Mr. Chen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Master Jiexian seems to be gone, at least there are still people alive.

So next, before calling Xiaobai and Xuanzang back, we should take care of the abyss conspiracy in the real time and space, which fortunately did not cause any major chaos.

While thinking, Mr. Chen turned his gaze to Mui Ne Island.
