Chapter 798 Communicating "Dharma"
The next morning, Jiang Baimian sat next to the nuclear bomb, looked at Shang Jianyao who had just gotten up, and asked with concern:
"How is it, have you gained anything?"
Shang Jianyao yawned:
"No, I go to room '506' every two hours and I don't have any dreams.
"She didn't sleep at all!"
Without waiting for Jiang Baimian and others to respond, he added eagerly:
"I continue during the day, I don't believe she has not slept!"
Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully:
"She might be thinking of something else."
…………
Tarnan, Dream Hotel.
The proprietress Aino looked at the old world entertainment materials on the computer with a haggard face, and her mind was full of her own comfortable and clean bed.
She took a sip of coffee from the northern part of the "Linhai Alliance", then took a sip of bitter strong tea, and muttered:
"How many days can it last......
How many more days can you escape?
…………
The jeep of the "old tune team" drove out of the yard surrounded by several houses and headed towards South Street according to the plan.
This time, it was Gnava who was in charge of driving, and Shang Jianyao sat in the passenger seat, one hand drooping weakly, holding the "Angel of Life" necklace in the other, with his eyes half-closed, sensing the possible "New World" nodes around him.
In the back row from left to right were Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and Jiang Baimian, they did not speak, for fear that Shang Jianyao's attention would be diverted and there would be a leak.
In this way, the jeep seemed to wander aimlessly around South Street, East Street, and West Street, entering every alley that could be entered.
In places where vehicles cannot pass, Shang Jianyao also used his feet to complete the "measurement".
When it was almost noon, he sat back in the passenger seat, moved his right hand holding the "Angel of Life" necklace, and said quite disappointedly:
"No nodes of the 'New World' have been found."
"Hmm." Jiang Baimian nodded, his expression as usual, "Only North Street is left."
North Street is where the city lord's mansion is located, and it is also where the nobles live, and ordinary people cannot enter at all.
But this is not difficult for the "old tune team", even if they are all burdened with huge bounties, they never thought of using the help of the servants who went out to buy from the city lord's mansion, and still relied on the invisible "thinking guidance" to easily arrive at the destination, and then, revealing their identities, they met Xu Liyan.
Compared with previous years, Xu Liyan has obviously gained a little weight, but he no longer wears old-fashioned clothes, combs old-fashioned hairstyles, and wears casual clothes with refreshing short hair, which makes him look a few years younger, or in other words, his appearance and age finally correspond to his actual age.
Now that he has a firm position, he no longer needs to rely on maturity in appearance to enhance his authority.
The mechanical monk Jingnian sat not far from Xu Liyan, no longer wearing a robe with a hood, revealing a tall body composed of a black metal skeleton and various mechanical parts.
He was wearing an old yellow monk's robe, a tattered red robe, and his eye sockets were full of red light.
Xu Liyan glanced at Gnava wearing a black military uniform, and secretly compared his steel body with Jingnian's steel.
He immediately withdrew his gaze, and was not in a hurry to ask Shang Jianyao and the others about their intentions, and said with a smile:
"You did so much in the original city, and you were actually given a high reward by the 'Hand of Order'.
"This makes me wonder if you played any role in that coup."
"The role of fishing in troubled waters." The honest Shang Jianyao will never lie.
Xu Liyan smiled predictably:
"You really got involved."
Jiang Baimian "helped" Shang Jianyao to respond:
"The turmoil involved many forces, many religious organizations participated, and we suspected that the will of the gods was at work."
On the gray soil, when it comes to gods, most of the time it refers to the year of the gods.
"The will of the gods." Xu Liyan frowned slightly.
As a member of this force and a foreign vassal state, he sent people to understand the turmoil in the "First City", and he knew the general process, and he was not surprised by the merger of religious organizations.
But he didn't feel that there was any will of the gods.
Although his partner "Monk Order" devoutly believes in the two deities "Bodhi" and "Zhuangsheng", and always preaches the existence of the Pure Land of Bliss, he still does not think that there are any gods.
Of course, in this kind of thing, his attitude has always been that he would rather believe in what he has or not, and he will not lose anything if he bows when there is nothing to do, but may gain unexpected benefits.
Based on this, he did not make an evaluation and changed the topic:
"Compared to what you did in that turmoil, I appreciate you for killing the real 'priest'."
He hated the real "priest" who almost blew him up.
"I'm also very satisfied." Shang Jianyao showed a self-satisfied expression.
Honestly, he went on to add:
"But the 'Anti-Intellectual' also has the 'pastor' Bouyon, and the eight elders including him and the pope above them."
Xu Liyan's face twitched when he heard this.
He forced a smile and said:
"The 'priest' is dead, and the 'anti-intellectual' will not always stare at me, and I have no deep hatred with them."
"Now I have it." Shang Jianyao reminded.
"Huh?" Xu Liyan was obviously at a loss.
Shang Jianyao said earnestly:
"We killed the real 'priest' and destroyed the 'anti-intellectual cult', and you are my good friend and brother."
I'm not ...... Xu Liyan subconsciously glanced at the mechanical monk not far away.
He finally realized rationally that compared to the "anti-intellectual cult" far away, the "good brothers" in front of him were a more practical threat.
"What are you talking about? The 'anti-intellectual' doesn't know that it was the real 'priest' we killed, and we destroyed a lot of things for them." Jiang Baimian interjected in time, comforting Xu Liyan by scolding Shang Jianyao.
Xu Liyan breathed a sigh of relief:
"You can kill the real 'priest' and fight against the 'Anti-Intellectual Cult' so far, which shows that you are strong enough."
Shang Jianyao was about to admit frankly and reveal his strength, but was glared back by Jiang Baimian.
Xu Liyan didn't continue the topic, but asked instead:
"What's the matter with you coming here this time?"
"Two things." Shang Jianyao was not polite at all, "First, we are investigating whether there is a 'New World' node in Weeds City, and I want you to give me a warrant so that we can wander around North Street......"
Without waiting for Shang Jianyao to finish speaking, Xu Liyan asked suspiciously:
"'New World' node?"
There are all kinds of rumors of a "new world" circulating on the gray soil, and most people have their own ideas and expectations for the "new world", and Xu Liyan is no exception.
But he had never heard of the node of the "New World".
Jiang Baimian replied before Shang Jianyao:
"I can only say that there is indeed a 'new world', but it is not necessarily a good place, the source of 'heartlessness' seems to be there, and there are large and small nodes on the gray soil that are connected to the 'new world', and one of our tasks is to eliminate them."
This is not the job you mentioned earlier...... Xu Liyan found that the group in front of him was becoming more and more mysterious, and the things involved were becoming more and more high-end.
The red light in the mechanical monk's eyes flashed a few times, as if he wanted to refute but endured it.
In the "Monk Order", the "New World" is equated with the Pure Land of Bliss.
After spending a while digesting the harvested "New World" information, Xu Liyan asked solemnly:
"How do you plan to investigate? Will there be any accidents if the nodes of the 'New World' are cleared?"
"In theory, it won't." Jiang Baimian has a lot of experience and is quite sure about this, "As for the investigation, it is very simple, hold the corresponding instrument and use the awakened person's sensing ability, and you can find it from a long distance."
"We won't break into other people's homes." Shang Jianyao patted his chest and made a guarantee.
Xu Liyan nodded:
"Okay, I'll give you a warrant for free passage on North Street."
He would be happy if someone could help clear out the potentially dangerous "New World" nodes.
Without waiting for the "old tune team" to respond, he asked:
"What about the second thing?"
Shang Jianyao looked at the mechanical monk Jingnian sitting next to him, and smiled:
"We want to find Zen Master Jingnian to communicate with Buddhism."
"What do you want to discuss?" The mechanical monk Jingnian made a synthetic voice.
He didn't refuse, firstly, he didn't have a premonition of danger, and secondly, he wanted to see what this group wanted to ask.
Pudu Zen Master Shang Jianyao put his hands together and proclaimed the Buddha's name:
"Namo Arudora Sambodhi, Zen Master, I want to know when the first awakened people appeared in your order?"
"This includes when you are not monks and have not yet formed an order." Jiang Baimian added, "I know that similar issues involve some secrets of your order, but if it is not important, please tell us, and we will exchange the corresponding information that interests you."
Jing Nian was silent for a while and said:
"When the old world was destroyed, several people woke up.
"In the following year, people awakened one after another, but the number was very small, and when the 'Hall of Stars' appeared, the difficulty of awakening became lower."
