Chapter 798 Exchange of "Buddha Dharma"
The next morning, Jiang Baimian sat next to the nuclear bomb, looked at Shang Jianyao who had just gotten up and came out, and asked with concern:
"How's it going? Have you gained anything?"
Shang Jianyao yawned:
"No, I go to room '506' every two hours and I haven't encountered any dreams.
"She didn't sleep at all!"
Without waiting for Jiang Baimian and others to respond, he eagerly added:
"I continued during the day, but I can't believe she stayed up all this time!"
Jiang Baimian said thoughtfully:
"She might be thinking of something else."
…………
Tarnan, Youmeng Hotel.
The proprietress Aino looked at the old world entertainment materials on the computer with a haggard look on her face, and her mind was filled with thoughts of her comfortable and clean bed.
She took a sip of coffee produced in the northern part of the "Linhai Alliance", then took a sip of bitter strong tea, and muttered:
"How many days can I last..."
How many more days can I escape?
…………
The jeep of the "Old Adjustment Team" drove out of the yard surrounded by several houses and headed towards South Street according to the plan.
This time, Gnawa was in charge of driving. Shang Jianyao sat in the passenger seat, one hand hanging down weakly, the other holding the "Angel of Life" necklace, half-closing his eyes, sensing the possible "New World" nodes around him.
In the back row from left to right are Long Yuehong, Bai Chen and Jiang Baimian. They all remained silent, fearing that Shang Jianyao's attention would be diverted and something would happen.
In this way, the Jeep wandered around South Street, East Street, and West Street seemingly aimlessly, 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 rather disappointedly:
"No node of the 'New World' has been discovered."
"Yes." Jiang Baimian nodded, his expression as usual, "Only North Street is left."
North Street is where the city lord's palace is located and where the nobles live. Ordinary people cannot enter at all.
But this was not a problem for the "Old Tune Team". Even though each of them was carrying a huge reward, they never thought of asking for help from the servants of the city lord's palace who went out to purchase. They still relied on the "thinking guidance" without leaving a trace to arrive easily. After arriving at the destination, he revealed his identity and met Xu Liyan.
Compared with previous years, Xu Liyan is obviously a little fatter, but he no longer wears old-fashioned clothes and has an old-fashioned hairstyle. He wears casual clothes and refreshing short hair, which makes him look several years younger. In other words, he The apparent age finally corresponds to the actual age.
Now that he has secured his position, he no longer needs to rely on outward maturity to enhance his authority.
Mechanical monk Jing Nian sat not far from Xu Liyan, no longer wearing his hooded robe, revealing a tall body composed of a black metal frame and various mechanical parts.
He was wearing an old yellow monk's robe and a tattered red cassock, and his eye sockets were full of red light.
Xu Liyan glanced at Gennava, who was wearing a black military uniform, and secretly compared his steel body with that of Jing Nian.
He immediately withdrew his gaze, did not rush to ask Shang Jianyao and others about their purpose, and said with a smile:
"You have done great things in the First City, and yet you have been put a high bounty on your head by the 'Hand of Order'.
"This makes me wonder if you played any role in that coup."
"A character who fishes in troubled waters." The honest Shang Jianyao never lies.
Xu Liyan smiled as he expected:
"You really did have a hand in it."
Jiang Baimian "helped" Shang Jianyao responded:
"That turmoil involved many forces and many religious organizations were involved. We suspect that the will of gods was at work."
On the earth, when talking about gods, most of the time it refers to Zhi Sui.
"The will of the gods." Xu Liyan frowned slightly.
As for the turmoil in the "Primary City", as a member of this force and a foreign vassal, he sent people to understand in detail and knew the general process. The inclusion of religious organizations was not surprising.
But he didn't feel that there was any divine will.
Although his partner, the "Monk Order", devoutly believed in "Bodhi" and "Zhuang Sheng" and always preached the existence of the Pure Land of Paradise, he still did not believe that there were any gods.
Of course, when it comes to this kind of matter, his attitude has always been that he would rather believe what he has or not. If you have nothing to do, you won't lose anything by paying your respects. On the contrary, you may gain unexpected benefits.
Based on this, he did not comment and changed the topic:
"Compared with what you did in that turmoil, I admire you more for killing the real 'priest'."
He hated the real "priest" who almost killed him.
"I'm also very satisfied." Shang Jianyao showed a proud expression.
Honestly, he then added:
"But the 'Anti-Intellectual Cult' also has 'Pastor' Bouillon, 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 'Father' is dead, so the 'Anti-Intellectual Cult' won't always keep an eye on me, and I don't have any deep hatred against them."
"Now there is." Shang Jianyao reminded.
"Ah?" Xu Liyan was obviously confused.
Shang Jian Yao said earnestly:
"We killed the real 'priest' and destroyed the 'anti-intellectual religion' event, and you are my good friend and brother."
I'm not... Xu Liyan subconsciously glanced at the mechanical monk Jing Nian not far away.
He finally rationally realized that the "good brothers" right in front of him were a more practical threat than the "anti-intellectual religion" far away.
"What are you talking about? The 'anti-intellectual cult' doesn't know that we killed the real 'priest' and that we ruined many of their things." Jiang Baimian intervened in time and comforted 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' without any incident till now, which shows that you are strong enough."
Shang Jianyao was about to admit frankly and reveal his strength, but Jiang Baimian glared back.
Xu Liyan did not continue the topic and asked instead:
"What's the matter with you coming here this time?"
"Two things." Shang Jianyao was not polite at all. "First, we are checking whether there is a 'New World' node in Weed City. I want you to give us a warrant so that we can wander around North Street..."
Before Shang Jianyao could finish speaking, Xu Liyan asked in confusion:
"'New World' node?"
There are various rumors of the "New World" circulating in the dust. 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 called "New World".
Jiang Baimian answered before Shang Jianyao:
"I can only say that a 'new world' does exist, but it is not necessarily a good place. The source of 'unintentional disease' seems to be there, and there are large and small, insurmountable, and connected places on the dust." New World' nodes, and part of our job is to clear them out."
This is not the job you mentioned before... Xu Liyan found that the group of people in front of him became more and more mysterious, and the things involved became more and more high-end.
Mechanical monk Jing Nian's eyes flashed red for a few times, as if he wanted to refute but endured it.
Within the "Monk Order", the "New World" is equated with the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss.
After spending a while to digest the harvested information about the "New World", Xu Liyan asked solemnly:
"How are you going to investigate? Will clearing the nodes of the 'New World' cause any accidents?"
"Theoretically not." Jiang Baimian has rich experience and is quite certain about this. "As for the investigation, it is very simple. You can find it from a long distance by holding the corresponding instruments and using the sensing ability of the awakened person."
"We won't break into other people's homes." Shang Jianyao promised with a pat on his chest.
Xu Liyan nodded:
"Okay, I'll give you a warrant for free passage on North Street later."
He would naturally be happy if someone could help clear out possible "New World" nodes that sounded quite dangerous.
Without waiting for a response from the "Old Tune Team", he asked:
"What about the second thing?"
Shang Jianyao looked at the mechanical monk Jing Nian sitting next to him and smiled:
"We want to find Zen Master Jing Nian to exchange Buddhist teachings."
"What do you want to discuss?" Mechanical Monk Jing Nian made a synthetic voice.
He did not refuse, firstly because he did not foresee the danger, and secondly because he wanted to see what this group of people wanted to ask.
Zen Master Pudu Shang Jianyao put his hands together and pronounced the name of the Buddha:
"Namo Ayodoro Samyak Sambodhi, Zen Master, I would like to know when did the first awakened person appear in your sect?"
"This includes when you are not monks and have not formed a religious order." Jiang Baimian added, "I know that similar questions involve some secrets of your religious order, but if it is not too 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 awakened.
"In the next year, people gradually awakened, but the number was very small. When the 'Hall of Stars' appeared, the difficulty of awakening became lower."
