"This is one of the top forces in the north, the 'Earth Yin Sect' monk who believes in the god of the earth, stepping on the Demon Beast of the Blood Realm, and indeed lives up to his reputation and has a very strong strength. Li Qingshui glanced at the shocked Great Elder and said slowly.

"Lindu is really a common dwelling of all saints, dragons and snakes are mixed, we have to be careful. Wu Haishan frowned.

The appearance of the Tuyin Sect made him begin to worry, and the complexity of the forces in Lindu had exceeded his imagination.

Woo......

The wild bird chirped for a long time, and then slid into the Lindu, completing a cool and chic debut ceremony.

After a brief look, people returned to normal, and it was clear that they were no stranger to similar scenes.

Li Qingshui and others also entered the city after a brief shock.

There are 32 streets in the city of Lindu, the streets are connected, extending in all directions, the legend is that the founding emperor of Dayan 'Chen Yunzhou' personally designed and built, the Dayan Palace stands quietly several kilometers away, the towering palace rises and falls one after another, just like the bell eye of the giant beast, looking down on the whole Lindu.

In the center of the city there is a statue taller than all the buildings in the city.

It is a statue of a monk carved from a boulder, wearing a long sword, squinting at the sky and standing, with a lifelike face, dignified appearance, and lofty spirit, as if even this god is not in his eyes.

It's just a statue, but it exudes an amazing momentum, looking at the world and pointing at all beings.

This is the founding emperor of Dayan, Chen Yunzhou!

Seeing the statue is like seeing a person, as if returning to the domineering moment when he drew his sword and pointed at the world five hundred years ago.

Chen Yunzhou single-handedly opened up the Great Yan Dynasty that was proud of the north, and he was a masterpiece of a generation.

The pavement of the avenue is paved with smooth bluestone slabs, and there are various shops on both sides, and pedestrians are surging, and it is very lively.

Walking a hundred steps further, a pavilion about dozens of zhang high met Li Qingshui's eyes, magnificent, and the guests who came in and out were all dressed luxuriously.

"Zhu'an Building. ”

Looking at the magnificent pavilion in front of him, Li Qingshui slowly said the three big characters engraved on the exquisite plaque.

Li Qingshui took Xia Taotao's little hand and walked in.

Wu Haishan and Xia He showed a trace of doubt on their faces, their money didn't seem to be running out......

Over here...... It doesn't seem cheap.

"Have you heard, there is actually a trace of a 'black dragon cub' in the depths of the demon beast forest this time, the Holy Ballad Crescent Moon of the Tuyin Sect, the second princess of my dynasty, Chen Wei'an, and the genius disciples of the Valley of Years and Years have all taken the master of the sect to explore, hoping to get the real ancient holy beast cub. ”

"What are you bragging, I only heard that there is an extraordinary elixir in the demon beast forest, where did some holy beast cub come from, besides, the black dragon clan was extinct in ancient times, can you still conjure one out of thin air? ”

"How can a mortal like you guess about the holy beast's means of reaching the heavens?"

"You ......"

"There has indeed been a big movement in the Demon Beast Forest recently, whether it is the black dragon cub I don't know, but it is rumored that Xinyue and my second princess have been friends since childhood, and it is said that they have joined forces to deal with Tang Tian several times, several major forces are inextricably fighting, and there are countless other small forces of monks pouring in. Monster Forest...... It's not peaceful anymore. ”

"And I heard from the people who came back that the demon beasts in the depths of the demon beast forest also made moves, launched several waves of beast tides, and killed a lot of people. ”

"Is even the master of the Wendao realm dead? It seems that there is indeed a heavy treasure in the Demon Beast Forest. ”

......

Swallowing the last bite of noodles in the bowl, Li Qingshui glanced at the guy who had been waiting beside him and the others, and smiled: "It's delicious." ”

"Four bowls of Zhu'an special noodles, one hundred taels of silver, guest officer. The guy glanced at Li Qingshui and the others with disdain.

After more than a month of rushing in the dust, they don't look like people who can eat a bowl of noodles for twenty-five taels of silver.

No wonder the fellow stayed by their side, afraid that they would run away if they weren't paying attention.

suffered a lot of losses, and even the guys in Zhu'anlou became smarter.

"It's so expensive!" Xia He's mouth grew in surprise.

Even Wu Haishan and Xia Taotao were frightened and looked at their guys in disbelief.

"You bully us outsiders?" Wu Haishan was a little angry.

Although this bowl of noodles is delicious, it is just an ordinary bowl of noodles, twenty-five taels is enough to buy a good banquet on the table in Huang'an, and a bowl of noodles in Lindu costs so much silver? This is too exaggerated, it is simply unreasonable!

"The noodles in Zhu'an Lou are made from bamboo civet meat, and there is no second one in the world, and the price is fair and reasonable. The man's face was haughty.

The people in the lobby on the first floor also looked at Li Qingshui and the others, their faces full of ridicule and ridicule.

Li Qingshui smiled, took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from the storage ring, and said, "I have just arrived, and I have been taught." ”

"Hmph. The man snorted, turned and left, thinking that he would not receive them a second time.

Li Qingshui didn't say anything more, took Xia Taotao's hand, and walked out.

"Senior brother, let's just forget it? Zhu'an Lou is obviously a big bully, it's just a bowl of noodles, how can it be sold for twenty-five taels of silver!" Xia He said with a face full of resentment.

"A spirit grass can be sold for thousands of taels of silver, how can a bowl of noodles not be sold for two hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver?" Li Qingshui said with a smile: "And a hundred taels of silver can get so much news, it's worth it." This Tang Tian ...... It's not simple, even the second princess of the Dayan Dynasty doesn't take it seriously, I really underestimate him, Tang Lin, a waste, actually has such a brother, he is really my great enemy. ”

"Do you want to go to the Demon Beast Forest?" Wu Haishan frowned and said, "Now you are not his opponent for the time being. ”

"Let's find a place to stay. Li Qingshui chuckled: "It's a good show, you have to watch it slowly." ”

The entire Lindu has now become a big theater, you sing, I appear, the undercurrent is surging, and the danger is everywhere.

Of course Li Qingshui will not go to this troubled water, it is naturally good for someone to deal with Tang Tian's father and son, he is not strong enough, if he can stab them in the back when they are tired, then it must be the most comfortable.

For the current Li Qingshui, revenge has to be done with his head, not with brute force.

Three days later, in the dilapidated courtyard in the north corner of the capital, Li Qingshui finished his practice, and the thunder in his eyes retreated.

The second layer of "Mountains and Rivers", iron bones, completed!

Clenched his fists and felt the powerful power coming out of his body, Li Qingshui exuded a sense of confidence.

It stands to reason that he should have completed the second layer of the mountain and river line a long time ago, but some time ago Nanshan fell, and too many things happened, so he couldn't take care of it.

At this time, he rented this mansion in Lindu, and he finally had time to calm down and practice and make up for his own shortcomings.

The success of the cultivation of the second level of the Mountains and Rivers Walk has not only brought about an exponential increase in the speed of the body method, but also a powerful progress in the strength of the body.

Now Li Qingshui is confident that without "Thousand Illusion Fist", he can punch out four or five thousand catties of strength, and after using Thousand Illusion Fist, his strength will be increased tenfold.

Li Qingshui is now in the middle of the Breaking Dust Realm, and with his physical strength alone, he is no longer afraid of the powerhouses of the Burning Blood Realm.

If he encounters the 'He Xing' of the Qingyun Sect again, the current Li Qingshui will be invincible.

Of course, at that 'ancient tomb', Li Qingshui's cultivation was only a line away from the 'late stage of the Breaking Dust Realm', and at this time, coupled with the penance of these days, the breakthrough in cultivation was just around the corner, and it was just around the corner.

"Still don't have any news from Senior Sister?" Looking at Wu Haishan, who entered the door with a sad face, Li Qingshui asked.

Wu Haishan shook his head, his face was full of sadness, and said, "There is no news." ”

"Lindu is very large, and it is not easy to find a few people to think of, and there are also chasing and killing orders from Qingyun Sect and other forces, and they are also very low-key when they want to come to Senior Sister, and it is normal to not find any news. Li Qingshui comforted.

"I hope that as you say, nothing will happen to them. ”

"Don't worry, Great Elder, with the three elders by their side, it will be fine. ”

"Hmm. Wu Haishan nodded.

Then in the afternoon, Li Qingshui took Xia Taotao out, he wanted to go to the south of the city 'Daoyuan Temple' to see, in the north, all the temples are managed by the Buddhist holy land 'Tianxuan Temple', the strength of Tianxuan Temple, not the work of a temple, want to come to this Daoyuan Temple must also have a way to collect the power of faith.

Li Qingshui's top priority was to repair the ancient trial road, so visiting this Daoyuan Temple became a must-do.

Before entering the capital, Li Qingshui had a plan, and repairing the bluestone gate was the first step.

Daoyuan Temple was built in a quiet place in the south of the city, surrounded by sparse people, it seems that people are afraid of disturbing this Buddhist holy place, so they deliberately stay away.

Daoyuan Temple is built on a mountain, quiet and peaceful, quite Zen.

The stone staircase at the bottom of the mountain is the first test that worshippers have to go through.

Li Qingshui took Xia Taotao and started climbing.

But in the middle of the road, I met a rich boy who was carried up the mountain by a servant, and the size of the son was really huge, just like a wild boar lying on a person, how to look at it and how it was uncoordinated.

If you were someone else, I am afraid that you would have been pressed down by this son a long time ago, but the servant is walking like a fly, and he looks like a practitioner, which is not simple.

Looking at the stunned expressions of the people next to him, this son-in-law immediately showed a smug look on his face, and said, "What do you see, haven't you seen the young master worship the Buddha?"

"Senior brother, this person is so stupid, obviously people are laughing at him, and he still thinks that others are envying him for having someone to carry. ”

Xia Taotao's voice was not loud, but for some reason, the fat boy actually heard it.

"Stop!"

He immediately stopped the servant and jumped down, came to Xia Taotao, looked down at her, and said, "What do you little girl say, do you think I look like a fool? I was too tired, so I let him carry it! If Young Master Ben is not tired, will he be allowed to carry it?"

"Why should my brother's jokes be more serious than my junior sister's. Li Qingshui pulled Xia Taotao, who was a little overwhelmed, behind him, and then said with a smile: "Those who worship Buddha need a pious heart, and Brother Tai makes people carry Buddhism on their backs, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate, and the Buddha and his old man will be unhappy." ”

"Wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha has left it in his heart, don't you understand this truth?" The fat boy glanced at Li Qingshui and said: "As long as I am dedicated to the Buddha, what is the process, what does it matter? I go to the filthy red dust, and the Buddha comes to my sacred heart." ”

Li Qingshui was stunned when he heard this, the subtlety of this fat man's insights suddenly made him feel a little stunned in his heart.

It doesn't matter where you are, it's what your heart is.

This fat man...... Eclectic is talent.

"Taught. Li Qingshui saluted the fat man very seriously.

The fat man smiled triumphantly, nodded his head in a teachable manner, and then leaned forward on the servant's back.

"Senior brother, he's obviously talking nonsense. Xia Taotao pouted.

"It doesn't matter what the truth is, what matters is what you think, as long as you persistently believe it, then it is wrong and right. I think there is a Buddha in this world, then there is, I think there is no Buddha in this world, then there is none. ”

"Oh......" Xia Taotao nodded as if she didn't understand.

Li Qingshui turned his head to look at the towering statue in the center of the Lindu City, and an interesting idea suddenly popped up in his heart, immortals and Buddhas...... Who's stronger?

Shaking his head and smiling, he withdrew his gaze and continued to walk towards the mountain with Xia Taotao.

"Donor. ”

As soon as Li Qingshui and the others reached the top of the mountain, a monk came forward to greet them.

"Is the service of Daoyuan Temple so thoughtful?" Li Qingshui said in surprise, but the pilgrims next to him didn't seem to be greeted.

"On the order of the 'Abbot Huiling', the little monk has been waiting for the donor for a long time, please come with me. ”

"Abbot Huiling...... Who is it?do you know me?" Li Qingshui was puzzled, but still took Xia Taotao with him.

Because meeting with the high-level of the temple is also one of the goals of Li Qingshui's trip, after all, only they can understand the method of collecting the power of faith.

So following the monk, Li Qingshui came to the backyard of Daoyuan Temple, which is the quietest place in the entire temple, surrounded by many tall monks sitting and guarding, and it is difficult for ordinary pilgrims to approach.

These warrior monks seemed to have known that Li Qingshui was coming, and they didn't even open their eyes, but Li Qingshui felt a profound and mysterious aura from them, these warrior monks were very strong, and each of them was stronger than the Qingyun Sect elder 'He Xing'.

It is unimaginable that even Daoyuan Temple, a quiet place that has no quarrel with the world, has such a powerful combat power hidden, and the water in the rivers and lakes is really unfathomable, Li Qingshui was shocked.

With a "squeak", the monk who led the way pushed open the door of the meditation room, and an old monk wearing ordinary clothes sat cross-legged in the room.

An old man who looks very ordinary, but his whole body exudes an inexplicable solemn and sacred atmosphere, as if he has the light of the Buddha and is blessed by the real Buddha.

In the old man, Li Qingshui once again felt a divine power of the same origin as the 'power of faith', very peaceful and close, washing Li Qingshui's complicated heart.

Li Qingshui saluted him, very solemnly.

Xia Taotao on the side also hurriedly saluted in the appearance of her senior brother.

"Little friend, I have been waiting for you for many years. The old monk opened his eyes and smiled kindly: "The 'Star Fruit Tree' in this courtyard has grown up, and the poor monk is also old, you are finally here." ”

"Do you know me?" Li Qingshui was surprised.

"The Buddha said that in the past life, thousands of times passed by, in exchange for an encounter in this life, we maybe, we have known each other for a long time. The old monk said.

"I only believe in this life, not in the past. Li Qingshui said.

The old monk shook his head and said, "But we have been waiting for you for a long, long time, and we have been waiting for you since the day Tianxuan Temple was founded." There are so many big temples in the north, you didn't go to other temples, but you just stepped into my Daoyuan Temple, and now it seems that everything has already been doomed. This life, at this time, was the starting point of the flourishing of Buddhism in the north. ”

"I am not a Buddhist, what does the rise and fall of Buddhism have to do with me?"

"Everything in the world can't escape the word cause and effect, since you come, this cause and effect has been planted, and fate is like this, you can't escape. The old monk said.

"A gentleman walks the world openly, I don't believe in Buddhism, let alone cause and effect. Li Qingshui said this, then took Xia Taotao's hand and wanted to turn around and leave.

This old monk, and everything here, made him feel unfathomable, and he wanted to leave as soon as possible, out of this place of right and wrong.

But the old monk's next sentence made Li Qingshuisheng stop his pace, "We can help you fix the door on your body." ”

"How do you know that I have ......" Li Qingshui was surprised, but halfway through the words, he realized that something was wrong, and quickly stopped.

"That gate comes from ancient Buddhism, and I felt it when you went down the mountain. The old monk said.

It turns out that the bluestone gate really comes from ancient Buddhism!

No wonder the power of faith can repair the path of trials, it is really a Buddhist magic weapon! Li Qingshui was shocked.

Xia Taotao looked at them innocently, obviously not knowing what they were talking about.

"It seems that you are not waiting for me, but this door. Li Qingshui realized.

"Wait for you, wait for ......it," the old monk said, "This door, and everything behind it, can only be repaired by us." ”

"It seems that only the power of faith can repair this door, but the power of faith is probably not unique to your Buddhism. Li Qingshui said: "I think, one day, I will repair this door, so I won't worry about you, Taotao, let's go." ”

"Wait!" the old monk got up, he didn't expect Li Qingshui's attitude to be so resolute, "We just want to help you fix it, not to take it for ourselves." ”

"Buddhism is so selfless?" Li Qingshui chuckled.

"This is a great cause and effect of Buddhism, which starts with us and must end with us. The old monk said: "There is a road in the bluestone gate, and at the end of the road, there is a great terror that you can't imagine, so we hope to help the little friend, otherwise the world will suffer a catastrophe!"

"If you have to help me, then leave your Buddhism's method of collecting the power of faith to me, and when the bluestone gate is repaired, I can invite my predecessors to watch together. Li Qingshui laughed.

Who would have thought that Li Qingshui's joke, the old monk Huiling only thought about it a little and then responded, pinched the trick with both hands, the Buddha's light was magnificent, a simple parchment roll, and a glass bottle flew out.

"This is the collection method of the power of faith, as well as the power of faith collected by Daoyuan Temple over the years, are given to small friends, may the little friends treat me Buddhist holy relics. ”

After taking the parchment roll and the glass bottle, Li Qingshui was stunned for a moment.

So easily give yourself the power of faith and the way to collect it?

The goal was so easy to achieve, but Li Qingshui did not have a trace of joy.

It seems that this matter is really not simple, and the attitude of the old monk Huiling made him feel very heavy.

The bluestone gate that can make Buddhism so valued and even repaired at all costs is definitely not just a Buddhist holy relic!

Even, its existence is more important than Buddhism itself.

"Where does the ancient road in the bluestone gate lead, and what is the end of it?" Li Qingshui asked.

Hui Ling smiled and said, "That way...... Tongtian!"

"Tongtian?!"
