Xiao Se and Qu Jing acted alone, while He Dong took Xiao Cao and Wang Jinxuan with him.

Under Lin Yi's all-seeing eye, the three of them had nowhere to hide.

Lin Yi originally wanted to go find Qu Jing for a romantic getaway, but just as he was about to leave, he received a message from Xiao Se saying that he would teach him the art of entering dreams.

Xiao Se didn't mention it, and Lin Yi almost forgot that Li Meng had promised to teach him the art of entering dreams. In fact, Lin Yi didn't care much about this supernatural power, because he already had enough supernatural powers and spells.

He had the complete set of Heavenly Heart Sword Sect spells taught to him by Qu Jing, the Tiger Roar he learned from the Tiger Demon, the Dragon Tail Sweep of the Dongting Lord, as well as various charm spells and indescribable techniques, the Shadow Demon's assassination techniques...

Lin Yi had too many skills, and he didn't use most of them much, so he didn't care much about the Dream Entering Technique.

Cultivation is the most important thing; skills are just supplementary.

But since Xiao Se has said so, it must be that Li Meng had made arrangements in advance. In that case, it would be better for me to learn this spell myself, so that the other party won't feel uneasy if they think I can't keep my promise.

Lin Yi just wanted Xiao Se to finish quickly so he could get back to work.

Upon finding Xiao Se, Lin Yi couldn't help but exclaim, "Holy crap!"

Others disguise themselves by changing their appearance; Xiao Se disguises himself by changing his gender.

But Lin Yi felt something was off. Could it be that Xiao Se had become addicted to cross-dressing?

It is said that there is only zero times or countless times when it comes to cross-dressing. Perhaps Xiao Se is like that. Although he has great potential, he has the heart of a girl.

If that's really the case, then it's very likely that she likes men. Thinking of the little woman Xiao Se sometimes showed when facing him, Lin Yi's feelings became very complicated.

Xiao Se had no idea that Lin Yi had so many thoughts because he saw her tail. She dressed in women's clothing because she wanted to see how Lin Yi would be moved by her appearance.

Now that she and Xiao Zhao have almost completely fallen out, there is actually no need for her to continue pretending to be a man. However, since she wants to be the emperor, she cannot be a woman. Therefore, she has no choice but to continue the pretense.

Since ancient times, no woman has ever been an emperor, and Xiao Se dared not take the risk for this goal.

But now that it's all an act, it's okay for her to pretend to be a woman and interact with Lin Yi, right?

But... the results don't seem to be very good?

Seeing Lin Yi's strange expression, Xiao Se couldn't help but feel a little troubled.

"Big brother?"

"Uh, it's nothing. I was just surprised that you came back dressed like this."

"This disguise should make it less likely for people to recognize you!"

Xiao Se's explanation was reasonable. Although Lin Yi felt something was off, he thought that Xiao Se might be using this method to cover up her cross-dressing fetish, so he didn't expose her.

These details are not important.

Lin Yi skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point: "Let's begin then, I have other things to do later."

Seeing Lin Yi's eagerness, Xiao Se nodded. The two went to the inner room, where Xiao Se asked Wu Yun to protect them and then had Lin Yi lie down on the bed.

"To teach you the method of entering dreams, you need to fall asleep first. Brother, you should sleep first and relax. Let me enter your dream first."

Lin Yi: "..."

Second brother, how about we call it a day?

Brother, I just don't feel safe!

Lin Yi felt uneasy, but for the sake of the trust between brothers, he still lay down on the bed.

With a bed board for protection, it should be safe.

Lin Yi focused and relaxed, and Xiao Se then used a soothing technique on him to help him fall asleep quickly. Lin Yi did not resist and soon drifted into a hazy state.

In a daze, Lin Yi forgot who he was and where he was, until a voice whispered in his ear.

"Senior Brother, Senior Brother..."

Lin Yi looked closely and saw Xiao Se's pretty face. She was wearing a plain white Taoist robe and looked rather cute.

"Senior Brother, you're finally awake! Master Huilan is about to give a sermon, you almost missed it."

Lin Yi then realized that he was in a sea of ​​people. Looking around, he saw bald heads everywhere, as well as many people wearing Taoist robes, but there were still more bald heads.

This was a grand gathering, with many people from both Buddhist and Taoist sects participating.

Lin Yi didn't know how he got there, but since he knew Xiao Se, he didn't think too much about it and naturally assumed the identity, listening to Master Huilan's teachings.

Master Huilan was a female monk with her hair tied up and wearing a monk's hat. She looked young and beautiful.

Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh, "It's such a pity that such a beautiful woman became a nun."

Xiao Se, standing to the side, glanced at Lin Yi sideways and scoffed, "Nothing special!"

Lin Yi didn't pay much attention to Xiao Se's tone and listened attentively to Master Huilan's words.

"When Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva was practicing the profound Prajnaparamita, he perceived that the five aggregates are all empty, and thus transcended all suffering and distress..."

Master Huilan was referring to the very famous Heart Sutra of Avalokiteshvara, also known as the Mahaprajnaparamita Heart Sutra. Lin Yi could recite a few lines of it, so he didn't react much. But Xiao Se and the other monks and Taoists were completely absorbed, as if they were hearing heavenly music.

At the same time, rosy clouds descended from the sky, golden lotuses sprang from the ground, golden dragons soared in the distance, and hundreds of birds circled nearby. Lin Yi couldn't help but exclaim, "Awesome!" It was the first time he had ever seen such dazzling special effects, which is why he blurted out the word.

But as soon as he said this, Master Huilan, who was reciting scriptures, suddenly stopped chanting. Time seemed to stand still at that moment, and everyone's eyes fell on Lin Yi.

Lin Yi wasn't shy, but at this moment, he still felt a bit embarrassed.

A bald man, enraged, stepped forward and shouted, "Who dares to disturb Master Huilan's sermon!"

Lin Yi never expected that saying "awesome" would elicit such a strong reaction. Before he could even speak in response to the criticism, Xiao Se stepped forward to refute him.

"How could the senior monk speak so rudely? My senior brother only said a few words, yet he was able to interrupt Master Huilan's sermon. How can such composure be worthy of the title of master?"

"You little thief, how dare you insult the nun!"

After saying this, the enraged monk threw a punch at Xiao Se.

This power is not to be underestimated; if it were to hit Xiao Se, he would be either dead or crippled.

Are all monks these days so irritable?

Chapter 280 You can't even bully me in my dreams!

Lin Yi originally wanted to let the matter drop, but now that Xiao Se had intervened, he couldn't very well betray his own brother.

Moreover, the other party's reaction to such a trivial matter was far too extreme.

Without hesitation, Lin Yi stepped forward and caught the monk's iron fist as the monk threw a punch at Xiao Se.

His eyesight was sharp, and his hands were naturally faster. After catching the punch, Lin Yi returned the favor with the same force. The big monk flew into the crowd and was caught. He was seriously injured, and most importantly, he lost face.

Lin Yi said coldly, "Using the word 'thief' so often, are all you monks this short-tempered and easily angered?"

He's not one to cause trouble, but he also doesn't like being bullied.

Now that we've taken action, we must seize the moral high ground first.

Lin Yi was quite skilled at this maneuver.

But as soon as he said that, someone in the crowd immediately retorted: "That's because you don't know how important the scripture Master Huilan spoke about this time is. This is the Heart Sutra, which the Master created himself after many years of hard work and enlightenment."

"You've ruined it; this is a loss for all of us, and a loss for Buddhism as well. Can you bear the consequences?!"

Hearing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but scoff and said, "Hilarious! It's clearly a common, overused scripture, yet you insist on claiming it as your own original work. Is this some kind of interesting thing about Buddhism?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent. Master Huilan, who had remained quiet until now, finally spoke.

"Young friend, is what you say true?"

"Of course it's true, I can recite it from memory, how dare you say you made it up?"

Lin Yi was still somewhat dazed, and his behavior was different from usual.

If he were sober, he wouldn't sabotage someone else's efforts in their own territory, but now that he's emotionally charged, Lin Yi isn't going to tolerate it.

"I didn't finish reciting the scripture just now. If you can recite the rest, then I will admit defeat. I will not dare to mention this self-created name again, and my disciple and I will apologize to you. How about that?"

Lin Yi readily accepted the offer. He had read the Heart Sutra of Guanyin in his spare time, and his memory was excellent. Now, the sutra seemed to be imprinted in his mind, and he could easily recite it.

"I'm willing to accept the consequences of my bet, but I hope you won't go back on your word later."

"...Shariputra, all dharmas are empty in nature, neither arising nor ceasing, neither defiled nor pure, neither increasing nor decreasing. Therefore, in emptiness there is no form, no sensation, perception, volition, or consciousness; no eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, or mind; no form, sound, smell, taste, touch, or dharma; no eye-consciousness, and so forth, up to no mind-consciousness. There is no ignorance, nor the cessation of ignorance, and so forth, up to no old age and death, nor the cessation of old age and death. There is no suffering, no origination, no cessation, no path; no wisdom, nor attainment..."

After reciting the Heart Sutra of Guanyin, the monks present were all dumbfounded. The strange phenomenon of heaven and earth that had just been frozen continued and became lively again. However, the golden wheel that had appeared in its nascent form behind Master Huilan suddenly appeared behind Lin Yi, and the golden wheel grew larger and larger, making Lin Yi seem to be glowing.

Master Huilan was completely stunned. She had been very confident, thinking that since the Heart Sutra had not yet been published and she had never recited it herself, how could others possibly know about it?

But to her surprise, Lin Yi actually finished reciting the mantra. The opportunity to become a Buddha that she had painstakingly cultivated for hundreds of years was snatched away by this kid who appeared out of nowhere.

Even though she had cultivated a Buddhist heart, her mentality was now somewhat broken. She coughed up blood on the spot and fainted.

"master!"

"Grandmaster!"

"Master!"

"..."

As Master Huilan fainted, chaos erupted. The monks surrounding him were enraged, and an old, fierce monk shouted, "They must have assassinated the master! Don't let them get away!"

Good heavens, these monks are truly shameless!

He was the one who exposed the nun's deception, yet these people are twisting the truth.

But now that the other side had more people, Lin Yi didn't dare to confront them head-on, so he grabbed Xiao Se's hand and ran.

With numerous monks chasing and blocking his way, Lin Yi didn't know which direction to run in. He just picked a direction and fled in a panic.

The monks pursued relentlessly, and even though Lin Yi ran very fast, he still couldn't shake off their encirclement and interception.

"These monks really have no sense of martial ethics!"

Lin Yi ran and cursed angrily. He didn't understand how his simple comment of "awesome" had turned into this situation.

Moreover, he now has a large golden wheel following him, making him very conspicuous wherever he goes, and he can't shake off his pursuers at all.

"Second brother, you go first, I'll cover your retreat."

Lin Yi realized that he would not be able to escape if he took Xiao Se with him; his target was too obvious. But Xiao Se did not have such a big target, so it would not be very difficult for her to escape.

"Senior Brother!"

"What senior brother? Let's get out of here!"
