Clearly, the terracotta warrior Faji has begun his first "performance," and in Zhang Jing's plan, it is also time for the hidden forces of the Floating Pagoda Sect to reveal their existence... However, it seems that this incident has caused quite a stir.
Zhang Jing became interested and searched on his laptop. Soon, he found several videos on the search engine, and curiously clicked on one of them:
"A divine monk appeared at the gate of Baoqing Temple. I witnessed it with my own eyes and was shocked!"
Then it was discovered that the video could no longer be opened, with a message stating that it had been blocked because it violated relevant community guidelines.
However, since it was only recently blocked, the comments section below is still visible:
"That's it, that's it, there's nothing left to watch..."
"Seeing that this is censored, I'm starting to believe it's real..."
"It's gone as soon as I arrived, what happened?"
"Blocking is everywhere, oh yeah..."
"This isn't a staged photo, is it? I have a feeling it is..."
"Those who say it's all acting, if you've never met a master, don't deny that masters don't exist! You'll be punished for your slander!"
"Well done, assessment complete..."
"At one minute and thirty-six seconds, everyone pay attention to the little girl's profile..."
"That fat guy looks like he's really hurting himself when he fell, ouch... He's so dedicated, it's just a video..."
"Smiling without saying a word..."
"Don't be naive, it's obviously staged... the secret to gaining popularity, those who know, know..."
"Homage to all the pagodas!"
"Where are you from, Master? May I pay you a visit?"
“……………………”
Zhang Jing glanced through the comments and found that a significant number of people still believed it was staged. A small minority did believe it, or simply chose to believe it to uphold the Buddhist faith, but this group clearly did not constitute the majority.
After closing the video page, Zhang Jing logged out and opened another page. Again, the video was blocked, and this time even the comment section was blocked.
After exiting and opening the app three times in a row, Zhang Jing finally found an unblocked video on a small website.
"The wandering monk was actually a hidden master; Baoqing Temple was blind to his true worth!"
Perhaps because the clickbait title wasn't compelling enough, the comment section below the video wasn't very lively, with less than three pages of comments.
Zhang Jing didn't have time to read the comments; he clicked on the video first and then discovered that it was filmed in a crowd, probably with a mobile phone, and was slightly shaky.
The video begins with a "tragic" scene of a fat monk kneeling on both knees, especially the monk's expression, which clearly shows him gasping for breath, and even has a strange sense of humor.
As the video continued, the monk angrily stood up, attempting to kick the old monk's luggage again, before falling to the ground once more, this time prostrating himself on the ground...

Then, the fat monk seemed stunned by the fall and didn't dare to get up for a moment. He just lay there on the ground, looking like a ridiculous fat toad...

"Young benefactor, you have shared a meal with this old monk, and in return, this old monk will give you a small gift..."
After patting the little girl's head twice, the old monk straightened up, bowed once more to the family of three, then turned, walked out of the crowd, and slowly departed...
At the end of the video, the old monk's figure was no longer clearly visible due to the crowd, but the verses that were being recited could still be clearly heard:
“Baoqing Temple, which has stood for over a thousand years, is now blocked by an iron ox.”
A hole in the hoof makes farming difficult; a nose pointing to the sky prevents one from getting pierced.
A Taoist's eye is no match for a donkey's blind eye; a temple gate is always like a prison gate.
The cold spring has water but no seagulls or egrets; it only leaves a name in the world in vain…

………………
This Master Faji's actions have a style reminiscent of ancient legends… Zhang Jing smiled after reading it, quite satisfied. He had been somewhat worried that Master Faji might not adapt well to the current situation, but now it seemed much better than he had anticipated. It seemed that Master Faji was also a quick-witted person. Come to think of it, although in his previous life he appeared to be a recluse, making a living was actually quite difficult, hence his profound understanding of human relationships.
The comments section of the video was also filled with heated debate, with those who believed it was staged and those who insisted it was a genuine monk arguing fiercely. However, Zhang Jing estimated that this dispute would probably end soon, since the video would likely be taken down before long.
For ordinary netizens, this shouldn't be a particularly noteworthy matter. However, for the Floating Pagoda Sect, many people will likely begin searching for this "divine monk" soon. After all, the existence of extraordinary powers is no longer a secret among top sects, and many sects, including the Xuanmen and the Floating Pagoda Sect, feel a sense of urgency...
"Special Event: In the early morning of March 22, an unusual event occurred at and around the residence at No. 117, Block 8, St. Fos City, Grand Republic. The event is suspected to be related to ancient relics, evil god rituals, etc., and almost triggered a larger-scale evil incident."
The incident has resulted in deaths, disappearances, and panic within a certain area, including a nobleman. It has now attracted the intervention of the "Special Incident Countermeasures Bureau" under the Grand Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is working with relevant departments to quell the subsequent situation.
The incident has attracted considerable public attention.
This event has led to significant changes in some people's understanding of materialism and religion, and has caused a slight disturbance in the consciousness of the world's lower classes, which is still expanding.

Continuing to flip back, the wishing points from previous events have increased to varying degrees. Zhang Jing turned to the last page of the wishing book and glanced at the total number of wishing points. Currently, his number of wishing points continues to rise and has reached 1183268.
Retrieving the wishing scroll, Zhang Jing's thoughts stirred, and a sheathed longsword suddenly appeared beside him. The scabbard was made of old rosewood that had been dried in the shade for many years, covered with stingray skin and reinforced with a copper ring, decorated with a relief of lion patterns. The guard and hilt were neither metal nor wood, but were entwined with mysterious patterns, and the end of the hilt was carved with a dragon head, its mouth open in a murderous posture, lifelike.
This was the Heavenly Punishment Sword. Due to his previous adventure, according to the novels in Zhang Jing's previous life, the Heavenly Punishment Sword was now in a state of "recognizing its master," and its aura was connected with Zhang Jing's. From this point on, Zhang Jing truly became the master of the Heavenly Punishment Sword in a mystical sense.
Furthermore, after truly recognizing the sword as its master, Zhang Jing was able to gain even greater control over it. Even in ordinary times, he no longer needed to carry it with him at all times, but instead allowed it to automatically follow him and conceal its form.
Zhang Jing knew that the Heavenly Punishment Sword in this state was actually in an extremely mysterious state. It was not simply visual invisibility, but rather a state of "something that is both real and unreal, something that is both present and absent." Even if someone touched every part of his body, they would not be able to find it.
At the same time, because of the Blade & Soul's automatic protection feature, it's like having a bodyguard who never sleeps by your side at all times, which raises your awareness of potential dangers to a whole new level!
Zhang Jing first calmed his mind for a while before reaching out to grasp the sword hilt and bringing it before him. The Heavenly Punishment Sword trembled slightly, emanating a hint of intimacy. This sword possessed an extremely high level of spirituality, something Zhang Jing naturally understood. He gently stroked the scabbard with his fingers, probing with a wisp of his spiritual sense…
Zhang Jing's actions at this moment were to communicate with the "hidden treasure" within the sword. After becoming the sword master, he was able to access a sword aura left behind by the previous sword master.
This sword energy carries the spiritual imprint left by the previous sword master.
These spiritual imprints left by powerful beings do not carry any particular technique or skill, but rather something more essential. Through these imprints, Zhang Jing seems to be able to traverse thousands of years of time and conduct some kind of spiritual verification with that powerful being...
If it were when he first transmigrated, Zhang Jing would probably be completely baffled by this mark and would have simply set it aside. However, now, with his cultivation advancing daily, and especially after the tempering of the previous "side effects," he has gained a more fundamental and profound understanding of certain existences, of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, and himself, among other things...
It can only be said that fortune and misfortune are intertwined.
However, since this confirmation involves a being of extremely high level, even though thousands of years have passed, Zhang Jing was extremely cautious. He first adjusted his mind and body, and then tried to communicate with them.
..............................
........................
After some time, the doorbell rang out, followed by a series of barking dogs in the front yard.
Zhang Jing slowly opened his eyes, a faint, dark purple lightning flashing across them in an instant. He rose and waved his hand, and the Heavenly Punishment Sword vanished without a trace.
Chapter 491 Little Thoughts
In the front yard, a maid had already opened the door:
"Miss An, hello." The maid greeted respectfully.
"Hello." An Huiling returned the greeting with a smile. Even though she already knew that the maid in her senior brother's house was not a real person, it did not stop her from returning the greeting every time.
A fluffy ball of fluff quickly rolled to An Huiling's feet, wagging its tail and spinning around.
"Ah, Xiaotian, I brought you some delicious food..." Upon seeing this, An Huiling squatted down and rubbed Xiaotian's head at her feet, then took out an oil paper package and skillfully poured out two meatballs.
Then Xiaotian lowered his head and sniffed, then ate one of them in one bite, and then swallowed both meatballs in one bite.
"Qiong Sheng Ji's lion's head meatballs are still warm, aren't they great?" An Huiling reached out and touched Xiaotian's head. She remembered that when she first met this dog, it was much smaller than it is now. Although it was small, it was very proud and wouldn't let anyone touch it easily. However, under her persistent "bribery," Xiaotian had abandoned its "principles" and now let her touch it as she pleased.
But Xiaotian is growing so fast... This puppy, just weaned, is already the size of a regular house dog, and its size seems to increase almost every day. I wonder what breed it is, and how big it will eventually grow?
An Huiling pondered to herself that the pet her senior brother kept must be something special, and she wondered if Xiaotian would have a puppy in the future...
Familiar footsteps came from the side, and An Huiling stood up upon hearing them.
"Junior sister is here." Zhang Jing walked out with a smile, looking An Huiling up and down. Her attire was different from usual. Her long, straight black hair cascaded down her back. She wore a Western-style hunting outfit, with a fox fur collar that made her skin look even whiter. She wore beige riding breeches and calfskin boots, which accentuated her already tall figure. Her full hips were firm and elastic, and her two jade legs were not only surprisingly long and straight, but also rounded and very powerful.
His gaze involuntarily lingered on his junior sister's curvaceous figure. He had to admit that when she wore traditional clothing, she exuded the gentle charm of a classical lady. But dressed like this, she had a completely different style. Zhang Jing praised, "Junior sister looks really beautiful today."
"Really? I just dressed casually..." An Huiling seemed a little shy, but the joy in her eyes was undeniable.
The two had agreed yesterday to go out for dinner together today, after which they would naturally have some time alone together. Of course, their subsequent cultivation practice would still be essential...
Walking up to his junior sister, Zhang Jing naturally reached out and wrapped his arms around An Huiling's waist, pulling her close. The two pressed against each other, and Zhang Jing felt the alluring tremor of the woman's body in his arms. He gently kissed her forehead, then leaned close to her ear, his nose filled with the soft scent of her hair. Zhang Jing whispered, "Where should we eat tonight?"
While intimately cuddling with her senior brother, An Huiling was completely dazed. Her earlier plans had vanished into thin air. For a moment, she could only breathe rapidly and did not react.
