Chapter 489: Bathing Buddha Festival
The four of them always felt that things would not be so simple. They wrapped the small iron pipe around the pigeon's lap with their senses, carefully removed it, and opened it.
There is a small piece of paper hidden inside, and each treasure is the same color, but between the three treasure houses, the color is different.
However, in terms of content, the three Dharma Kings are simply very clear, and all the notes have the same line written on them. It is not the words that are common in the Yanhua world, but the words of the Buddhist cultivators themselves.
And these words are not difficult for the four of them at all. In the small world of the West, Mu Wan even guessed and learned the pronunciation of this kind of writing. At that time, she taught Ah Bai. After coming back, he passed the "Demon Breaking Heart Sutra" to the three of them in the dark night. Especially in the dark night, he drew inferences from one another, and actually cracked the meaning of the word, and finally created his own "Breaking the Curse".
"The Great Demon King is born." Xiangxiang glanced at it, translated it directly, and pouted dissatisfiedly, "The Great Dao is three thousand, and you are the right way, and the people next to you are all crooked and heretical?" ”
"It's a lift. I'm still far from the Demon King Realm. "Wave your sleeves in the dark.
Whew, tongues of fire flickered, and all the notes burst into flames, turning to ashes in an instant.
Chang Long's confidence doubled, and he said with confidence: "Next, where are we going?" "They're in a race against time. Xiyan's Buddhist cultivation can destroy the Taoist system that has been passed down here for tens of thousands of years, and replace it, there must be something special about it. The Dharma Kings must have some means of it. Once they are prepared, it will be much more difficult for them to make another move.
Mu Wan conjured up the map again. The four of them stood on the map, each expressing their opinions.
After discussion. The four soldiers divided into two routes: Black Night and Xiangxiang set off first to find out if the rest of the Dharma Kings would go to Nanrukabao Temple to pay homage to King Salfa; Mu Wan and Chang Long stayed near the Wuxiang Treasure Courtyard, restricting the three Dharma Kings here from releasing carrier pigeons - the thirty-six ghost servants are now all beginner-level ghost soldier cultivators, and they can move freely within the range of more than a thousand miles of the Six-Tailed Flower Soul Banner. They were divided into two groups, guarding the two treasure courtyards of Qingzhu and Baiyun respectively. The Wuxiang Treasure Courtyard is personally controlled by Chang Long and Mu Wan.
Sure enough, in the next hour, the three thrones released two more carrier pigeons.
In order to paralyze the kings, the three teams waited for the pigeons to fly for more than ten miles before they started.
The next two batches of pigeons sent the same content as the first one. It's just that the color of the note is different. Moreover, the color of each batch of the same treasure house is also different. In the case of the Treasure Temple, for example, the first batch used yellow slips of paper. while the second batch is white; The last batch was replaced with red paper.
Mu Wan looked at the notes repeatedly. But they found nothing.
There is no way. She had no choice but to order: "Keep guarding." ”
However, after nearly an hour, the three temples did not release the pigeons again.
Then. The sky will be bright.
With the current cultivation of the ghost servants, they still can't bear the yang qi. Yes, Mu Wan ordered Changlong to recall them.
Half an hour later, Xiangxiang sent a message through the contract: Sister, Jinlan City is under martial law, and you are not allowed to enter or leave.
Mu Wan immediately replied: Come back quickly, don't venture into the city.
Xiangxiang: Yes.
In the morning, the night also sent back: the Dishui Treasure Courtyard had obviously strengthened its vigilance. His Holiness Kaden showed no signs of traveling.
Mu Wan was extremely depressed - it seemed that she had been tricked by the three Dharma kings. They clearly have other means of communication.
At noon, Xiangxiang and the night rushed back.
On the way back, both of them intercepted some carrier pigeons.
The four of them opened and checked them one by one, and there were twenty-one notes, with as many as five colors: red, blue, yellow, green, and white. Of these, only ten notes are identical, saying: The Spiritual Eye has been stolen by demons. The remaining eleven are different: some are "Fifteen Yuan Death", some are "Do you go to Seven", and some are "Tea Party next month...... Wait a minute.
Mu Wan picked out the blue note of "Fifteen Round Death" and said, "The 'Fifteen' here must be King Salfa." Could it be that the Dharma kings are also numbered? ”
"Also, I really don't understand these Dharma Kings. We've only destroyed the messengers of the four kings, but it looks like the other kings are also flying pigeons. Chang Long looked at the colorful notes on the ground and was puzzled.
As for why the Dharma Kings still have such a mortal contact method as the Flying Pigeon Messenger. Previously, Mu Wan made an analysis: Buddhist cultivation and Taoist cultivation are different, they regard the body as a stinky skin, and cultivate the mind but not the body. Even the Dharma Kings are not much different from ordinary people in their bodies, and the magic weapons they can use are very limited. Therefore, once the communication instrument is destroyed, they can only fly pigeons to transmit messages.
Chang Long and the three of them all agree with this analysis.
However, what they didn't expect was that the communication weapon was not destroyed, and the Dharma Kings would also use flying pigeons to send messages.
Xiangxiang looked at the night: "Is it that the copper bell can't be used too often?" "Of the four, only the night has seen the communication weapon in the dormitory. According to him, it was a row of copper bells.
Hei Ye shook his head: "It's equivalent to a low-grade treasure." That's certainly not the case. ”
When Mu Wan heard this, she sighed: "We know too little about the Dharma King. It is not a matter of two or three days to rebuild the Taoist system in Xiyanzhou. Next, we will return to Green Willow City first, and while we are spreading the new ones, we will collect the information of the Dharma Kings and slowly draw them. ”
The results this time were beyond expectations. They got four Psies overnight. It's time to be content.
So, the night carried everyone back to Green Willow City.
Tomorrow is the day of the Buddha Bathing Festival. According to custom, people burn incense, bathe and fast a day earlier. So, the city was deserted. Except for the sergeants guarding the city gates, the people basically stayed at home and did not go out. There are few people in the streets and alleys.
Seeing this, they simply played around Green Willow City for a day. When night fell, they rode the night back to their new shop.
In the main house of the inner courtyard, the incense cloth is imprisoned.
Mu Wan took out four jade boxes.
There are four spiritual eyes, some large and some small, with similar shapes. Except for the one in Nanruo Treasure Temple, which is in good condition, the other three are all five taproots that have been cut off.
The aura in Green Willow City is thin, and it is no different from the mortal world of Donghuazhou. With these four spiritual eyes providing a steady stream of aura, the four of them can practice without worry. Moreover, now the treasure room is still closed, and Mu Wan can't be contacted. Naturally, there is no way to put these spiritual eyes into the space. So, one person divided one for the time being. Cultivating in the dark is a bad qi, and the spiritual eye is useless to him. Yes, he didn't ask for it.
The next day, the first day of the new year, the Buddha Bathing Festival officially begins.
People dressed up and went to the major temples outside the city to ask for divine water and clean the Buddha statues enshrined in their homes. Anyone in the family who has a little money, in addition to asking for divine water, also asks for a golden robe, which is actually some red gold leaf. However, it must be to go to the temple and please. It is said that the gold leaf bought in the shop is useless without the blessings of the monks. And the so-called "please" is actually to buy. Take the one-foot-three-inch-high Buddha statue enshrined by ordinary people as an example, a gold robe costs fifty gold coins, to say the least.
Mu Wan and they mixed in the crowd and also went through a scene.
After "please" a medium-priced gold robe, the black shopkeeper secretly checked it, and felt in his heart: these temples are really making money.
The golden robe was as thin as a cicada's wings, weighing less than half a gold coin. However, he spent a full eighty gold coins. Excuse me, apart from this temple, what kind of serious business can have such a high profit?
From the first day of the new year to the third day of the new year, for three consecutive days, all temples will hold ****. From the next day, a temple fair was held in the square in the city. The magnates, as well as various merchants, will set up porridge sheds in front of their homes to spread good karma.
During these three days, there is no curfew in the city. At nightfall, people can call their friends to go to the moat and put river lanterns to pray for blessings.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the Buddha Bathing Festival comes to an end, and most people will visit relatives and friends on this day.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, most of the shops reopen. The Buddha Bathing Festival ended successfully. People's working lives are back to normal.
However, just after this year's Buddha Bathing Festival, on the seventh day of the first lunar month, the City Lord's Mansion suddenly announced a state of martial law. The number of sergeants guarding the gates increased fivefold. All people are only allowed to enter and not to leave. At the same time, day and night, the sergeants patrolling the city seemed to be shuttling.
On the day of the start of the new shop decoration, the contractor came to the door early in the morning with a bitter face. He only brought three people: "Black shopkeeper, I'm really sorry." Most of my brothers live on the outskirts of the city. Martial law was imposed in the city, and they were so frightened that they did not dare to enter the city. I can only call three brothers now. Can you move this period back? ”
There's no way around it. The dark night pretended to be in a hurry, stomped his feet and said: "It's so decent, if you say martial law, you will be under martial law." What the hell is going on? The lords of the City Lord's Mansion didn't see the notices posted either. ”
The foreman quickly glanced at the door, lowered his voice and said, "Of course, the lords of the City Lord's Mansion don't dare to put up notices. I have a nephew who works as an errand boy in the City Lord's Mansion. I heard him say that a few days ago, the treasure hall of His Royal Highness was flooded. Four of the high monks in the treasure hall came. The whole city is under martial law. It is also the decree of His Royal Highness. In order to prevent people from coming to us, the whole city will search for us. ”
The so-called "walking water" means to start a fire.
"What?" The black shopkeeper was dumbfounded.
At this moment, a group of heavily armed sergeants walked by outside the door. The foreman immediately shut his mouth. After the patrolling sergeants walked away, he lowered his voice, his eyes shining, and he said in a sigh: "I don't know where the sacredness is, but I dare to set fire to it under the nose of His Royal Highness the King of France." ”
The night is stunned - as a faithful believer, shouldn't you be filled with righteous indignation when you hear such news?
However, the attitude of the foreman greatly pleased him. Lord Demon Marshal was full of requests for an extension.
Ten days later, martial law was finally lifted. However, the construction period of the new paving was seriously delayed. In addition, people were panicked, and the black shopkeeper simply postponed the opening by a month. Extend the pre-employment training for new recruits from one day to five days.
On the second day of March, the green willow city of Linglong Pavilion was newly opened.
Over there is an old store in Maha City, no guy has applied to come over. Therefore, Mu Wan has to continue to be a counter master. The first batch recruited a total of sixty fellows, and none of them were found to have spiritual roots. Despite this, the guys were organized to read and learn Seven Star Fist.
