The Dao dies but I live on, the spiritual energy dries up but I remain evergreen

Gradually.

The Su family's idiot boy talks more and more, and is now just like a normal person.

When a monk came all the way from the Western Regions, he spent a large sum of money to invite him to his home as a guest and ask him about the essentials of the Buddhist scriptures.

I learned from the monks that it was in the distant Western Regions.

That magical land.

There is no country there.

There are only Buddhisms, big and small, with different doctrines.

The collision of ideas.

He was moved.

An idea came to his mind, which was to go there and take a look, learn the most advanced Buddhist scriptures, and then bring them back to the Lingtian Dynasty.

The day I turned eighteen.

He told his father about this idea that had been in his mind for a long time.

My father was already very old at that time.

The old man, who had been rich for half his life, sighed deeply, remained silent for a long time, and finally agreed.

He spent a lot of money.

Posted a message.

Select a trustworthy martial artist to escort the Su family's fool to the Western Regions.

There will always be brave men under a large sum of money, and there are many people who recommend themselves.

The screening process took three months.

The people selected are all top-notch in terms of character, martial arts, family background, and origin.

The Su family is wealthy and powerful, and there is no telling how many storms they will encounter on the road.

So, it is naturally impossible to just set off like that stupidly.

The old man of the Su family came up with a plan.

Spend some more money to recruit some people with similar body shapes to the young master of the Su family, and let them travel to the Western Regions as well, with the same team escorting them.

This is to confuse the public.

Let those with ill intentions not be able to distinguish the true from the false. I don't know which team the young master of the Su family is in.

Li Changxiao is very lucky.

I originally planned to walk to the Western Regions.

However, because he stayed in Changwu City for a few more days, after learning the news, he volunteered to go for the interview.

The interview scene was really crowded with people.

Even though traveling to the Western Regions requires passing through the vast desert, it sounds like a tough journey.

In fact, there is a team escorting you, so it is very relaxing, and your safety is guaranteed. You don’t have to worry about money on the road, and you can buy almost anything you want.

The Su family is very rich.

The Su family's housekeeper only took a quick glance and screened out 90 percent of the candidates.

There were less than ten people left.

These ten people, including Li Changxiao, are all tall and have straight backs.

Next, we enter the second round of selection.

It is a test of behavioral habits and character.

In the end, Li Changxiao succeeded and became the eighteenth son of the Su family.

along the way.

Basically no need to go.

A large sedan chair carried by eight people, with fine wine and delicious food, was provided.

There were also more than ten servants and nine famous martial arts masters escorting him.

But there is a condition, that is, you have to wear a black and white mask to cover your face.

It must not be taken off for a moment.

Until I came back from the Western Regions.

The butler asked Li Changxiao to swear that if he was unwilling to comply with this, he could go back.

Li Changxiao is not a fool. He patted his chest and made a guarantee, taking money to help others get rid of disasters... uh, no, it should be said that he is helping others to prevent disasters. He values ​​his promises the most, and if he says he won't pick the fruits, he won't pick them.

Seeing that he was sensible, the butler nodded and arranged for him to leave the city three days later and officially go to the Western Regions.

On the eve of departure.

The housekeeper asked Li Changxiao to change his clothes.

A black brocade robe embroidered with cloud patterns.

Only in this way can he be worthy of the status of the young master of the Su family.

The Su family's young master's real name is Su Yun, so along the way, the escort team also called him Su Yun.

Li Changxiao wore a black and white mask on his face, dressed in black brocade clothes with cloud patterns, and sat on a handsome Ferghana horse. He walked out of the city in a swagger.

He was surrounded by martial arts masters on both sides, and a carriage followed behind him, carrying some daily necessities.

He just walked out of the city in a swagger.

Speaking of which.

He had never enjoyed such glory before, so he thought it would be interesting to take this opportunity to enjoy himself.

Soon, the team left Changwu City.

Heading west.

As the saying goes, take money from others and help them eliminate disasters.

Li Changxiao plays Su Yun and goes to the Western Regions, so naturally he has to act more convincingly.

It fully demonstrates the pampering of rich kids.

Drinking fine liquor, with expensive jade pendants and sachets hanging around the waist.

He bought a lot of things along the way, and most of the things were given as rewards to the wanderers who accompanied him.

It's about a week's journey.

Li Changxiao's team left Lingtianzhou and bought a few camels in a small town on the edge of the desert. After a short rest, they continued on their journey.

The martial arts masters continued to travel together, while the followers who took care of their daily life returned along the same route. The more people there were on the subsequent journey, the more troublesome it would be.

The desert is cold at night.

The watermelons in the small town were sweet but expensive. Li Changxiao bought twenty of them and hung them on his camel's hump, waiting to eat them when he was thirsty.

Day two.

Several people set out on the road again.

The journey was peaceful and there were no dangers such as robbery or attack.

The masters of the martial arts world would occasionally compliment each other.

Li Changxiao would often ask about some of the grudges in the martial arts world.

There was something to talk about and the journey was not boring, but the sun was a bit too hot and we finished eating all the watermelons after just a few days of walking.

Smooth crossing of the desert.

When we came to a dense forest.

After walking for a while, a gangster with a thick nose suddenly raised his hand and signaled the team to stop.

He sniffed and smelled a faint scent of blood in the air.

He exchanged a glance with his companions, signaling them to remain alert, and then rode forward alone to investigate.

He held the reins in one hand and the hilt of the knife with the other.

The remaining masters approached Li Changxiao.

A few minutes later, the man who went forward to investigate came back and indicated that there was no ambush ahead.

But ahead, the body of Master "Su Yun" was found.

He was stabbed in the throat.

The black and white mask on his face was split in half.

Very miserable.

There are many teams pretending to be Su Yun.

It is inevitable that some people will be unlucky and get caught along the way.

The team changed direction and continued to move forward.

Nothing happened on the journey afterwards.

half a month later.

The group finally arrived in the Western Regions.

This is a countryless land with only temples. As for ordinary people, they are scattered across this vast land.

Occasionally, you can see some groups of people living together.

The scale is not too large.

The people here all believe in Buddhism.

And in the very center of the Western Regions.

There is a magnificent Buddhist city. It is said that the Buddha built this Buddhist city with the power of his own merits when he saw the suffering of all living beings. Those who can live in it are people with great merits and are recognized by the Buddha.

You need to pay expensive incense money to enter the city.

Li Changxiao and his group were stopped by Buddhist soldiers at the gate of Buddhist City.

These Buddhist soldiers had dark skin, white scarves on their heads, and Buddhist robes. They looked up and down at Li Changxiao and others.

He held a spear in his right hand and knocked the end of it against the merit box standing by the roadside.

"Only those who are sincere to Buddhism can enter." The Buddhist soldier said calmly.

"Haha, what does sincerity mean? Is it giving money?"

A mocking voice came from behind.

A carriage came slowly.

I saw a man with a very heroic appearance sticking his head out from the carriage, his face full of sarcasm.

Since entering the Western Regions, he has seen everything that has happened along the way.

A land without a country, a city of Buddha?

Pooh!

It’s even more corrupt than my own Lianmin Pawnshop.

The visitors were naturally the fifth prince of the Lingtian Dynasty, and master and disciple Muqin Si Nian.
