Yu Ruifeng frowned, "You want to go to the Six Western Countries?"
"Yes."
Leng Shiqi nodded, "Instead of waiting for those envoys to enter the country, it's better to take the initiative.
To be honest, I have a secret technique that allows me to travel hundreds of miles in a day. The Six Western Countries aren't large, and they planned to enter the country in two or three months. With this time, I can go to all the Six Western Countries!
At that time, I'll need Lord Yu to preside over the situation in the Western Desolate Province. "
"This …" Yu Ruifeng also hesitated. Leng Shiqi was supposed to be in charge of this mission, but Leng Shiqi had to investigate the background of the members of the diplomatic mission by himself. Not only would he be extremely tired from running back and forth between the six countries of the Western Region, but he would also be in great danger!
After all, not everyone in the Six Western Countries had a good relationship with the Thunderstorm Dynasty. If Leng Shiqi's identity was exposed, he might really be left there!
If Leng Shiqi really had an accident, how would Yu Ruifeng explain it to Eunuch Gao?
Leng Shiqi smiled, "Lord Yu, don't worry. I cherish my life very much. I'm just going to scout for information. I won't do anything too dangerous."
When he saw Leng Shiqi being so certain, Yu Ruifeng could only agree. "Since it's like this, I'll have to trouble Lord Liu. But I must hold a grand banquet tonight to welcome Lord Liu, Eunuch Gao Yi, and Miss Lian Ye."
The next day, Leng Shiqi left the Western Desolate Province alone and headed for the Zhu Lu Country.
With his speed, it only took him three or four days to reach the Zhu Lu Country. At this moment, he was standing at the foot of a mountain, holding a piece of information in his hand and reading it with great interest.
Before coming to the Zhu Lu Country, he had obtained some information from the Dark Thunder Guards and the Blood Garment Pavilion. He was currently reading about a new power in the Zhu Lu Country in recent years — the Buddhist Sect!
The Buddhist Sect was a very special power because it didn't focus on cultivating the cultivation of its disciples. Instead, it preached Buddhist scriptures.
There was a reason why it was still called a power.
Zhu Lu Country wasn't rich to begin with. Adding on the fact that many people had died during the transfer of the throne two years ago, the people were in a state of panic. This made the situation even more difficult.
Coincidentally, the Buddhist Sect appeared at this time. The disciples of the Buddhist Sect were all as benevolent and charitable as Leng Shiqi remembered them to be.
Very quickly, they gained quite a bit of fame in the Zhu Lu Country. Moreover, Buddhist sects didn't have any requirements for talent when accepting disciples. As long as one had good intentions, they could join. Gradually, they attracted more and more people. Of course, most of them were poor people.
However, there were also many Spirit Cultivators who would take the initiative to join, ranging from the Spirit Astral Realm to the Spirit Gathering Realm, so it could be considered a force.
Along the way, Leng Shiqi occasionally saw a few Buddhists. Most of them were not different from the impression he had in his previous life. He even felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
And the founder of this Buddhist sect was Tudeng!
Actually, Leng Shiqi was also quite surprised. When he gave the Buddhist scriptures to Tudeng, it was just a casual act. He never thought that Tudeng would be able to reappear in this world.
The reason why he came here was because of the three favors that Tudeng owed him.
If Leng Shiqi wanted to complete his plan in Zhu Lu Country, Tudeng's strength was indispensable. Especially now that Buddhism had appeared, Tudeng wasn't just a powerful force, he also had a lot of people's hearts!
This was extremely important to his future plans!
"Senior Tudeng has truly given me a pleasant surprise." Leng Shiqi muttered, then walked up the mountain peak.
On the mountain path, there were a few monks and pilgrims who came to offer incense. The people here were not small.
However, most of these people were thin and sallow. It was obvious that their days weren't good.
When he reached the peak, he saw an irregular temple. As soon as he appeared, a loud Buddhist chant came from the temple, "Amitabha, a kind person has come from afar. This old monk has failed to welcome you."
In an instant, the entire temple was covered in a layer of faint Buddhist light. All of the Buddhist disciples and pilgrims immediately knelt on the ground and chanted.
Tudeng wore a kasaya and walked out with a face full of glory, "Little friend Liu, long time no see."
Leng Shiqi looked at the current Tudeng and felt a trace of absent-mindedness. It was as if he saw a Buddhist light behind Tudeng's head that was like a sun.
What made him feel even more strange was that Tudeng's aura was very strange!
Leng Shiqi had interacted with many Heaven Man Realm and Heaven Origin Realm experts. However, Tudeng's aura seemed to be above Heaven Man Realm, but it wasn't Heaven Origin Realm.
Then what was Tudeng's cultivation level?
However, Leng Shiqi wouldn't ask about someone's cultivation level. He cupped his hands and said, "Senior Tudeng, it has indeed been a long time."
"Amitabha, this old monk is no longer a person of the secular world. Senior or not, it doesn't matter."
"Senior's transcendence is admirable. Seeing that you created the Buddhist Sect to help the world, why don't I call you Master Buddha Tudeng?" Leng Shiqi said with a smile.
"This old monk doesn't dare."
Leng Shiqi shook his head and said, "Since you have transcended the world, why do you care about a title?"
Tudeng was stunned for a moment, then he laughed, "Haha, this old monk has been thinking too much. Little friend, you are right. Little friend, please come in."
After the two of them sat down, Tudeng said with emotion, "The Buddhist scriptures that little friend left behind can be said to be the world's most precious treasure. It contains the highest Buddhist principles. The more this old monk studies it, the more I feel like a frog at the bottom of a well.
Every Buddhist scripture is like a boundless world. I'm afraid this old monk won't be able to study it thoroughly even if he studies it for his entire life. "
Actually, Leng Shiqi had also read those Buddhist scriptures, but they were simply heavenly scrolls. He couldn't understand anything. He also didn't know how Tudeng could see such profound things.
Of course, he still followed his memories from his previous life and started to "chat" with Tudeng. Occasionally, the golden sentences that came out would make Tudeng sigh.
Until night time, when Leng Shiqi's stomach was completely drained of ink, he finally explained his purpose for coming, "Master Tudeng, this junior actually came this time to ask for a favor."
Tudeng revealed an "as expected" smile and said, "Little friend came from the Western Desolate Province. Naturally, you have an important matter. Little friend, please speak."
Leng Shiqi pondered for a moment, then first asked, "May I ask what Master Tudeng's current cultivation level is?"
Speaking of this, Tu Deng also had a somewhat doubtful expression. "According to the system of spirit cultivation, this old monk has been studying Buddhism for the past two years and has comprehended many cultivation methods and spirit techniques. I'm even able to communicate with the power of heaven and earth.
Normally speaking, this is already considered the Sky Origin Stage. However, this old monk's spirit energy hasn't transformed into the power of heaven and earth, so I can only be considered half a step into the Sky Origin Stage.
This is also something this old monk has been very doubtful about. "
