Chapter 584 See You Later

Before leaving Heng Imperial City, Xu Han specially went to see Xiao Ran.

After all, whether Xu Han would return after this trip to the Great Zhou was something Xu Han could not explain. After all, the other party had entrusted him with an important task, so Xu Han felt that it was necessary to meet him before leaving.

But regrettably, when he arrived at the Dragon Hidden Mountain, he was told that Xiao Ran had closed the Death Pass and would never leave the Immortal Dimension without boarding the Immortal Dimension. Xu Han, who had obtained such a result, was about to leave, but was stopped by the little monk sent by Master Bu Ku, asking him to enter the temple for a chat.

Xu Han wanted to refuse, but he suddenly thought of something and agreed.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Xu Han had truly come to Long Yin Temple, which was known as the number one sect in Great Xia. The last time he came here, the Dragon Hidden Temple was occupied by that strange fellow known as the Ksitigarbha King.

In addition, Long Yin Temple happened to be closed at that time, so Xu Han didn't have the chance to see this kind of incessant exchange of pilgrims.

At this moment, smoke shrouded the ancient temple, and pilgrims lined up to enter the temple to worship Buddha. This scene was quite spectacular, so Xu Han couldn't help but glance at the devout pilgrims.

"Since the chaos a few days ago, there have been many more pilgrims coming to the mountain gate to worship Buddha than usual." Seeing this, the little monk beside Xu Han whispered softly.

Xu Han secretly nodded and asked with a smile, "Does it work?"

"Huh?" The little monk was obviously too young to understand the meaning behind Xu Han's words. He was slightly stunned for a moment before he could spit it out.

Xu Han shook his head again, "Nothing, let's go."

"Oh." The little monk nodded. Without any doubt, he led Xu Han through the pilgrims' crowded Buddhist hall to the backyard of Long Yin Temple. After pointing out Master Bu Ku's room to Xu Han, he obediently retreated.

Master Bu Ku's room was very different from Xu Han's imagination.

There were no ancient scrolls of green lanterns, no sandalwood fish, not even a Buddha statue. In the small room, there was only a wooden bed, a wooden table, and a hoe placed at the corner of the wall, which formed the residence of the abbot of the Dragon Hidden Temple.

In a sense, this room was more like the cottage of a mountain villager. Of course, it was still the kind of mountain villager who was poor and destitute.

"Coming?" Seeing Xu Han push open the door and enter, the monk sitting at the wooden table smiled faintly at Xu Han. Then, he extended his hand towards Xu Han and signaled him to sit down.

Xu Han nodded and sat down opposite the monk. Then, he raised his head to look at the monk. His gaze looked back and forth at the wrinkled-faced monk. Only after a dozen breaths did he withdraw his gaze.

"How is Grandmaster?" Xu Han asked in a soft voice.

"Good, very good. There are probably not many bad old men as old as me in the world who can be better than me." Master Bu Ku said with a smile. This year, Master Bu Ku was already more than eighty years old. It was said that this person's life had been rare for seventy years. Master Bu Ku's words made Xu Han unable to refute them.

After Master Buku finished speaking, he asked again after a few breaths, "Benefactor Xu, do you want to go south?"

Xu Han was slightly stunned. Although Li Yulin didn't reveal the matter of going south to ask Great Zhou to send troops, he was afraid that the news would bring unnecessary trouble to Xu Han and the others. Secondly, he wanted to catch Cui Ting off guard when the matter was done.

However, it wasn't surprising that Xu Han knew about this because of the close relationship between the Dragon Hidden Temple and the Grand Xia Dynasty Hall.

He quickly regained his senses and nodded to Master Buku, "Well, I'm afraid I have to go on this trip."

"Master, are you looking for me for this matter?"

Hearing this, Master Buku shook his head with a smile, "Buddhism was originally a quiet place. It has broken the rules to participate in the affairs of Great Xia's Jianghu these past few years. How dare you say that now?"

"Grandmaster said that day, to the monk is the biggest taboo, although the monk temple in these years have indeed violated the rules of the monk, but I thought that even if there is great mercy in the heart, if only in the bottom of the heart, what is the meaning of such mercy? On the contrary, only those who are willing to enter an impure land like Grandmaster can be considered true Buddhas if they are able to save those who have fallen into distress. "

Master Buku was slightly stunned, and when he regained his senses, his face couldn't help but reveal a peculiar expression.

Then, he stood up and bowed to Xu Hanying, saying, "Thank you, Benefactor Xu, for your kind words. This poor monk has been taught."

This worship could be said to be respectful and respectful, without the slightest bit of arrogance that an elder should have.

How dare Xu Han accept his worship? He hurriedly extended his hand to support Master Buku and said, "Master, what is the meaning of this? This brat is just randomly speaking nonsense. Isn't this going to ruin someone Xu?"

Seeing Xu Han's resolute attitude, Master Buku did not insist. He hesitated for a moment before accepting the move. Then, a faint smile appeared on his face and he suddenly asked, "How has Benefactor Xu's [Great Dragon Elephant Seal] been cultivating lately?"

This question caused Xu Han to frown. His physical cultivation had already reached the half-step Immortal Realm after absorbing Luo Mo's devil energy. However, even though he took the risk of using the power of heavenly lightning to bombard the starlight and inject boundless power into his flesh, he was still a step away from the Immortal Realm. This caused Xu Han to be somewhat puzzled.

As for Xu Han's expression, it was not difficult for him to guess Xu Han's predicament with his experience. He winked at Xu Han and said in a rare playful tone, "Actually, the master of the Great Dragon Elephant Seal has done some research. He has some speculations about this. I wonder if Benefactor Xu would be willing to listen to this old man."

Everyone knew that Grandmaster Bu Ku's master was the Great Xia's Imperial Teacher. He was known as a once-in-a-lifetime Saint Monk. His guess was naturally something that Xu Han could not ask for. Xu Han hurriedly nodded and said, "I wish to hear more about it."

…

After leaving Long Yin Temple, Xu Han walked alone on the mountain path of Long Yin Mountain.

He lowered his head and furrowed his brows. However, what Grandmaster Bu Ku said kept appearing in his mind. However, he couldn't find a clue after thinking about it, so he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

After the great war in Heng Imperial City, Both Xu Han's physical body and Internal Strength had improved tremendously. However, the embarrassing thing was that they were all just a step away from the Immortal Realm. However, the latter meant that there was a huge gap between them and true Earthly Immortal Realm experts. If Xu Han faced such an existence again, he still wouldn't dare to say that he had a complete chance of winning. Unfortunately, most of the enemies he had to face were existences that weren't weaker than this.

Xu Han was extremely anxious about this gap, but he was helpless. Thinking about this, the boredom in his heart deepened. He couldn't help but shake his head, wanting to get rid of this uncomfortable feeling.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed a figure staring at him from afar not far away from the mountain path in front of him.

It was Nangong Jing.

Xu Han recognized her at a glance, but what surprised him was that today's Nangong Jing rarely wore the golden thread white robe she usually wore. Instead, he changed into a blue gauze dress. Even her eyebrows had traces of faint makeup on them. She was originally extremely beautiful, so after this meticulous dress, it was naturally impossible for her to make anything up.

"Haha, Lord Nangong is also here. What a coincidence." Xu Han saw the other party. He didn't know if it was because Nangong Jing's image was different from the past, or because some Xu Han couldn't explain it, but he felt a sense of guilt in his heart.

"Coincidental?" Nangong Jing looked at Xu Han mockingly and asked in a strange tone.

Of course, as soon as Xu Han left Dragon Hidden Temple, Nangong Jing appeared on the mountain path of Dragon Hidden Mountain. From the looks of it, it was obvious that he had deliberately waited here for some time.

"Haha, what a coincidence, what a coincidence." Xu Han said forcefully, unwilling to pierce through Nangong Jing's words.

Seeing that Xu Han was like this, Nangong Jing was a little unhappy. She rolled her eyes at Xu Han and said, "Come with me."

…

Nangong Jing said that taking a walk was really just taking a walk.

The two of them walked side by side on the mountain path of Dragon Hidden Mountain, silent and speechless.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed and the two of them had already reached the foot of the mountain. Nangong Jing's pace suddenly slowed down a little.

"Are you leaving?" Nangong Jing's voice sounded at that moment.

After Xu Han left, the position of Pavilion Master of the Sword Handling Pavilion naturally fell on Nangong Jing. Naturally, Nangong Jing knew about the Great Zhou Embassy.

"Yes." Xu Han nodded.

Nangong Jing's footsteps slowed down a little and her head lowered. She asked softly, "Will you come again?"

"I don't know." Xu Han replied truthfully.

"Is that so?" As Nangong Jing spoke, his footsteps finally stopped. After a few breaths, when she raised her head again, her face was covered with a brilliant smile like spring. She looked at Xu Hanyan and said, "Goodbye to Jun Qianli after all."

As she spoke, she even bowed her hands to Xu Han with extreme righteousness.

Xu Han was stunned, but he quickly regained his senses. He also saluted Nangong Jing with a straight face. Then, he turned around and walked towards Long Yin Mountain.

Standing on the spot, Nangong Jing watched Xu Han leave. Her gaze flickered. After a few breaths, she gritted her teeth and finally mustered up her courage. She shouted towards the figure that was gradually disappearing, "Xu Han!"

Xu Han's back paused for a moment before continuing into the distance.

In the end, he did not stop. Since he could not give others a promise, he had to walk cleanly and without giving others any unrealistic fantasies. It was the best choice for others and himself. This was a lesson that Zhen Yue had taught Xu Han. He remembered it in his heart and put it into action at this moment.

Nangong Jing was naturally a smart person. She knew exactly what Xu Han was trying to tell her.

Her body trembled at that moment, and a faint light surged in her eyes. However, she was still Nangong Jing, the proud and arrogant Nangong Jing. She suppressed some of the emotions in her heart and gritted her teeth.

Then she whispered in a dreamy tone, "Goodbye."
