Zhiyuan Temple is twenty miles away from the east of the city, where the incense is around, but the worship is the three clear incense. Fang Lin divided half of the mechanical flesh puppets and sent them out to inquire about the news, and the rest of the group pretended to be medium-sized business travelers, such a large-scale caravan would naturally be quite eye-catching among other countries, but Che Chi Guo was extremely common, and almost no one looked at them more.

The reason for this is that Chechi is connected to the Silk Road, and the collection of commercial taxes in the past is an important source of income for the country. Therefore, as long as the caravans in the past pay taxes according to the rules, the policy of the country is very favorable. Although the king of this Che Chi Kingdom was bewitched by the magic of the three demon immortals who were named the national teacher, he was only faint, so even if he was controlled by these three-headed monsters for 20 years, he still had no end in his energy.

The purpose of Fang Lin's trip was to explore the terrain, but also to find out the strength and hiding location of the group of reincarnators who were in the power of the Three Demon Immortals. From another point of view, no matter whether Fang Lin planned to rescue Tang Sanzang or not, the reincarnation of the hostile forces would always be the first thing to do—to have them make trouble behind their backs, and to give people a sneak attack at a critical moment, if they were really stabbed in the back, and the bones were in the throat, they would not vomit or be unhappy.

The closer you get to Dezhiyuan Temple, the more you hear the cry of Ruolei in your ears. Listening carefully, the five words "Hercules Bodhisattva" are clearly recognizable. This is another more famous allusion in the Chechi Kingdom, called the Five Hundred Monks and Slaves.

It turned out that twenty years ago, when Buddhism was defeated in the rain, all the monks in the country were forced to return to the laity and became the slaves of Taoist priests. Twenty years have passed, among the more than 2,000 monks near the capital of Chechi Kingdom, there are about 1,500 people who are tortured/committed suicide, and a very few monks can climb the relationship with the Taoist gate and successfully change jobs, leaving only these 500 monks to survive, here to carry wood and stone to expand Zhiyuan Temple as a long work, every day is to eat brown rice boiled gruel, sleep on this beach at night, very miserable.

Fang Lin and the others got closer, and sure enough, they saw dense monks pushing carts back and forth to carry wood and stones, the carts were loaded with bricks, tiles, wood and adobe, and the slope on the beachhead was the highest, the road was small and steep, and the cliff was steep upright, and the monks were dressed in blue wisps, looking at this image was very embarrassed and miserable, obviously next to the river water was tired and dry, but no one dared to stop to drink half a sip, which showed the severity of the punishment.

According to the geographical location of the present world, Chechi should be located in the western part of Central Asia, so drought is inevitable, fortunately there is a big river flowing through the country, the river is turbulent, the reef is rugged, it is a goose feather washed down by the torrent, but I am afraid that there is no chance to float. The inhabitants on both sides of the river suffered greatly, and later a Bodhisattva appeared to the river with great divine powers to open a way through the river, so that ferries could travel back and forth. Therefore, the people in the vicinity set up such a temple, and since then the incense has been burning continuously, and the feeling has been repeated. And Che Chiguo also lived by the water and set the capital here.

In order to thank the Bodhisattva for the advent of the Bodhisattva, the former king of Chechi expanded and renovated such a Buddhist temple. The word Zhiyuan is taken from the meaning that the river abyss is wise and no longer overflowing. Because of this, the former king was also enshrined in the temple after his death, and even if it is now changed to Sanqingguan, it is also necessary to enjoy the incense sacrifice.

Fang Lin and the others walked further, and they felt that there were more and more people, and there was already the rich smell of sandalwood incense in the air that could not be concealed, and after a slight pause, the mechanical flesh and blood puppet that listened to the news came with news, saying that today was the fifteenth incense season.

The three demon fairies of deer power, sheep power, and tiger power are quite brainy monsters, and they know the truth of the long flow of fine water, and they often eat a few people, and they return their wishes once. At that time, the transportation was inconvenient and the information was blocked, there were many thieves, and the missing few people were not a big deal, but with the help of the state power, those fools and foolish people intentionally or unintentionally spread the mana of the "Three Saints", so it was obviously a huge lair of monsters, but it became the most prosperous and lively place among thousands of miles in the vicinity.

On the fifteenth day of the first day of the new year, there is a sea of people, and the water is impassable, not to mention the others, only the nearby restaurants will light the fire at the second watch to prepare for this day's burning. If it is the birthday of Sanqing, there is an endless stream of people who restore the wish to make incense, and the workers or bosses in the store have to be busy until the sky is dark, whether it is the pure profit of the boss or the tips of the employees, the harvest of that day alone is enough to catch up with the income of the usual month.

The small stalls on the side have made such a lot of money, and the amount of sesame oil money in Zhiyuan Temple can be imagined, and the three demon immortals are useless when they take this worldly thing, so they wholeheartedly use it to expand this religious garden, which is already quite spacious and majestic. It didn't take much effort to rebuild Zhiyuan Temple into Sanqingguan, but after 20 years of operation, Sanqingguan at this time was ten times the area of the previous Zhiyuan Temple, and the specifications of the building were tall and magnificent.

To take a very simple example, the main hall 20 years ago has now become a hall for fire workers and Taoists to gather together to do things. Twenty years ago, the statue of the Sanqing god was two zhang high gilt copper inlaid with silver solid wood - this is quite a great deal, and the current Sanqing statue is as high as five zhang (fifteen meters) gold pattern silver robe, carved with sandalwood, thousands of years without rotting, the cost of these three statues alone, are the sum of the three years of taxes in the country of Chechi!

Therefore, if you want to come in and burn incense and make a vow, you have to enter the whole four mountain gates, and the fifth mountain gate is being expanded - five hundred monks and slaves are pulling building materials, after entering the first mountain gate, many pilgrims have begun to worship step by step, if they come here in groups again, it will be too eye-catching, so Fang Lin and the others were divided into two waves, Fang Lin and Lin Yinsleeve two people all the way, the rest of the people all the way, this is not to facilitate their dating and couple travel, but Lin Yinsleeve's agility value is the highest in the team, Once Fang Lin uses Simulacrum, he can also simulate a high agility value of more than two hundred, which is very convenient for investigation.

Since they are pretending to be pilgrims, they have to buy some incense wax burning paper, and the people who can sell incense here are naturally mouthful, and he can boast about his own things all day long if you don't make a sound, at this time, there happened to be several richly decorated carriages driving directly by, Fang Lin's eyes flashed, and he asked as if he wanted to bargain:

"Boss, you said that your incense is good and cheap, so why don't these nobles who came in the carriage come to you to buy some incense and candles, are they here to play?

The boss heard like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and called out to hit the sky:

"The patriarch of Sanqing is above, you must have come to the temple for the first time to make a vow, those carriages are accompanied by the Taoist master in the temple, and they are the daughters of the ministers in the capital, these nobles are directly invited into the inner hall to talk about tea, and the incense brought by the people is sold from the Tang Dynasty in China, and I have three hanging money and four handfuls of incense wax here, which must not enter the eyes of the nobles."

Fang Lin's eyes flashed slightly, he had already written down the four words "Inner Temple Jingtang", said a few words with a smile, and continued to move forward with Lin Da Beauty.

This whole four mountain gates are as long as ten miles, but I am afraid that even the palace of the king of Che Chi country does not have such a grandeur, on the way to the mountain gate, a towering and tall archway stands on it, and the last mountain gate is written in gold characters on a black background with four big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing:

"Ze is born!"

It feels really imposing, Lin Yinsleeve frowned and said in a low voice:

"These three-headed monsters really think of themselves as immortals, can they save the world?"

Fang Lin's eyes fell on the main gate, and he couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, because he saw the four big trees growing at the main gate, and the four big trees were built with stone platforms under them, and the green grass was within ten zhang of the surrounding area, giving people a feeling of vitality as soon as he entered the door.

These four big trees are thick like clouds, the green shade is abnormal, just enter the mountain gate there is a vigorous and cool sense of coming, the four big trees seem to be in the planting site is chaotic, but Fang Linwei can clearly feel that the center surrounded by the four trees is like a huge vortex, the surrounding heaven and earth vitality is slowly gathered and condensed, without the slightest leakage, and even formed a two-end ring river of vitality in the underground, endlessly, back and forth!

It seemed that the legend was actually true, Fang Lin had been skeptical when he heard about the Bodhisattva's opening of the ferry with his great magical powers, but at this time, he knew that the formation of this river of vitality did have the supreme effect of easing the flow of water and changing nature. Living and practicing here, although it is not as good as the kind of fairy cave house, but it can also be regarded as a blessed place in the world, I think that the Bodhisattva was going to open up a Mahayana garden for the Buddha to sing and cultivate, but I didn't expect it to be occupied by demons at this time, and turned into the mansion of the old king!

Fang Lin took a closer look and confirmed his inference more and more, because the tree species of these four big trees were also particular, the two on the left were Bodhi trees, and the two on the right were sora trees.

This Bodhi tree is inextricably linked with Buddhism, when Shakyamuni rescued the suffering beings and resolutely gave up the inheritance of the throne and the comfortable royal life, and became a monk to seek the true meaning of life. After years of cultivation, I finally meditated under the Bodhi tree for 7 days and 7 nights, overcame all kinds of evil temptations, and attained great enlightenment and finally became a Buddha when the sky was about to dawn and the morning star rose.

Therefore, the Buddha's enlightenment is under the Bodhi tree.

And the Buddha's entry and destruction is under the sara!

These four trees, two kinds of trees, represent the cycle of the rise and fall of Buddhism, and the cycle repeats.

Buddhism has always regarded the Bodhi tree as a sacred tree, and used the dragon's whisker brain incense produced by the sora tree to incense, which is the planting method of the East Bodhi and the West Salo, which is also in line with the purpose of Buddhist reincarnation immortality.
