With the sound of two horns, Chen Zongbiao and his three companions clashed with a dozen Bandits. Despite their smaller numbers, it was clear that Chen Zongbiao and his team were far superior to the Bandits.
I watched as Chen Zongbiao swung his Great Hammer with great force, sending one Bandit flying with a single blow. I don't deny it; he sent both the man and his horse tumbling through the air, displaying incredible prowess.
The onlookers, who were spies hiding nearby, cheered as they witnessed another Bandit being struck away. They couldn't help but shout in excitement.
However, the Bandits who were being watched quickly realized they were in trouble and began to flee in disarray. Chen Zongbiao raised his leg but did not signal his disciples to pursue. Instead, he turned around to focus on the spies who had unknowingly drawn closer to him.
Everyone instinctively halted in their tracks. Both sides found themselves in a delicate standoff, with no one daring to make a sound. The Poplar trees by the roadside trembled in the wind, producing a rustling noise.
Was that real?
Chen Zongbiao looked in the direction of the sound. The deep crimson attire adorned with dark embroidered dragons made it clear that these were members of the Abyssal Guards.
When did they arrive? All the spies felt a jolt of alarm and instinctively began to retreat.
I don’t know what’s going on inside.
I don’t know either, but that’s just how things are done.
"Is it possible?" the person tentatively asked Yi Dong, then answered himself, "No, it's against the rules," he realized.
After saying this, he turned to leave. Seeing that the Abyssal Guards had all departed, everyone felt relieved that there wouldn't be a fight tomorrow; it had all been a false alarm. "I don't deny it," he quickly went to write the battle report.
In such a situation tomorrow, they couldn't move, didn't want to move, and didn't dare to move. With the Abyssal Guards not moving, no one else dared to act. The cultivators weren't coming; no one wanted to make a move. So they would remain in this stalemate; after all, those people weren't in a hurry.
He was now seeking Chenqiao, believing that there would be a resolution there. The cultivators were now seeking it as well. A chaotic battle was inevitable; who would live and who would die depended on fate.
Ahead was a dilapidated temple where they could take shelter from the rain. Gu and Liu Lao Jiu hurried into the broken temple.
During the rainy season in Great Jin, heavy rains often fell without warning; one moment it would pour, and the next it might stop. No one knew when it would rain or when it wouldn't, causing great inconvenience for everyone involved.
He was now seeking Jincheng, the capital of Great Jin. The Jade Void Sect was located deep in the mountains just outside Jincheng. That place was one of the most powerful in the World of Mortals and gathered the most extravagant scenes of that world.
But none of that concerned Gu; he wasn't looking for anyone else, just someone who could provide him with significant help.
Gu looked up at Yi Dong and said, "I estimate that rain is coming from Dongyi."
"How about we drink some wine to warm ourselves?" Liu Lao Jiu offered him the Wine Gourd.
Gu took it and drank a couple of sips. "I don't deny it," he said, recalling the Meizhang Wine he bought in Meixian, then passed it back to Liu Lao Jiu. Gu pulled out a Firestarter from his pocket and approached the statue. With a gentle slide, he struck a spark and lit a green lamp before the Buddha.
That was Namo Da Shi Zhi Bodhisattva; don’t ask him anything else—he didn’t know much more than that—he had only seen it in Liu Xia's temple, Liu Lao Jiu remarked.
Is there really a Buddha in this world?
Yes, at the Western Great Thunder Sound Temple, which is said to be the origin of the Buddhist Sect, can Siddhartha Gautama be found there?
What kind of Buddha is Siddhartha Gautama?
If Siddhartha Gautama is indeed the Buddha, could he be compared to Dao Zun, a figure of great significance?
Is it possible that the past Buddha and the Future Buddha are not the same?
I might have misspoken; the Lamp Lighting Ancient Buddha is indeed a past Buddha, while Maitreya Buddha is the Future Buddha. They are not figures to be looked down upon. Liu Lao Jiu has set up a bonfire in front of the Buddha and is roasting meat.
I shouldn't disrespect the Buddha like that. Gu Xiao laughed.
What good does it do to respect them? They will always endure; it really doesn't matter. Liu Lao Jiu scoffed.
I don't deny that.
What my master said, and what my senior brother also mentioned. As Liu Lao Jiu spoke, a tear of longing unconsciously flowed down his cheek, as he felt that it must have been a wonderful time.
