That night, Ye Ziying and the others left with Bai Feng. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Before leaving, Ye Ziying said seriously that because of Mo Nian's appearance, she had a good impression of Buddhism, although Mo Nian ate meat and gambled and molested women, he was still a demon monk. These words made Mo Nian a little confused, because he didn't quite understand what kind of logic this was?

It can only be said that women are really troublesome, since he met that little girl when he was a child, none of them made him feel that he could get along normally.

However, the matter also came to an end, and he washed by the lake with the stove before returning to Mida Temple.

The Buddha Washing Festival lasted for three days, so that the entire Luoying City was excited for three days, several large and small temples collected a lot of incense money, and also collected a lot of refuge disciples, the local tyrants in the city, the squires and landlords outside the city took refuge, among which the female disciples accounted for the majority, it can be seen how attractive Mo Zhi's handsome face is, to a certain extent, the old abbot of Mida Temple is indeed very good at running a Buddhist business.

Three days later, the monks who had earned a lot of money said goodbye to Mo Nian, Mo Zhi, Qingjing, and Qingxuan with tears and snot, of course, in addition to a few very old monks in Mida Temple, many other people also regarded Mo Nian as an extremely benevolent Mo Xin Zen Master, and Mo Zhi as Mo Nian.

After the four of them left, they rode the wind-chasing spirit tiger in captivity in the temple all the way to the south, first on the plain, then on the slope, and finally directly into the deep mountains, and there was no human population at all.

The goal of their trip is to dig for treasure.

And what to dig, they themselves don't know, they only know that they are digging treasure.

Why do you want to dig up a treasure that you don't know what it is? This starts with the history of the Great Treasure Xiangguo Temple itself.

Although the Great Treasure Elephant Temple is the oldest temple in the Treasure Elephant Country, and has a great reputation in the surrounding countries, but now it has actually declined, no matter from the scale, the number of masters, the number of Buddhist scriptures, the number of disciples, the domestic influence, etc., are far from the status of the champion who was proud of all the temples in the country, and now objectively speaking, it has actually fallen to the status of the second-rate Buddhist temple in the Treasure Elephant Country.

As for why it is still so famous, it is because the Great Treasure Xiangguo Temple once had a glorious past that shocked the entire Eastern Regions and even spread to other domains.

Bao Xiang country in more than 100 years ago, had suffered a catastrophe of annihilation, the demon beast tide broke out, impacting the country, Bao Xiang country is the closest, the first to bear the brunt, and Bao Xiang country has always had the tradition of "monks and soldiers to protect the country", so at that time the most prosperous, occupy half of the country's Buddhism Da Bao Xiang Guo Temple naturally became the main force to protect the country, countless monks dispatched, and the demons fought, and finally destroyed the demons, but their own losses were also great, almost lost 40% of the combat effectiveness.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the surrounding Wushan State, a Daomen country that had enmity with the Treasure Elephant Kingdom, took advantage of the opportunity to survive after the Great War of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom, and sent a large number of mages and troops, intending to destroy the entire Buddha Kingdom in one fell swoop and wipe the Treasure Elephant Kingdom from the land of the Tang Dynasty.

When the Baoxiang Kingdom was in mourning, the remaining monks of the Great Treasure Xiangguo Temple disregarded their serious injuries, poured out the strength of the whole temple, fought to the death with the masters of Wushan Kingdom, took out all the magic weapons that could fight, and sent all the disciples over the age of 12 to participate in the battle, as a result, all the members of the Zhongji were surrounded, and finally at the cost of the annihilation of all the high monks, the main force of the other party was disabled. made the other party unable to advance again, so he saved the life of Baoxiang Kingdom.

This battle made the Great Treasure Elephant Country Temple famous, and this prestige has been inherited to this day.

But after the good reputation, in exchange for it, the Great Treasure Xiangguo Temple lost 95% of its masters, and it has been in a slump since then.

However, the most chilling is still behind, because the Great Treasure Xiangguo Temple is old, and there are a lot of treasured Buddhist scriptures stored, which attracts the covetousness of various temples, but they dare not do it in name, and the foreign Taoist forces behind it, the aristocratic forces of other countries are colluded, forming a gang of robbers, inside and outside, before and after more than ten years, constantly entering the temple to rob the Buddhist scriptures and even kill people, the king of the Baoxiang Kingdom racked his brains, but he couldn't control it. In less than 20 years, the Great Treasure Xiangguo Temple, which originally planned to recover its vitality, almost lost its roots.

Later, the treasures in the temple Buddhist scriptures were almost lost, the Great Treasure Xiangguo Temple also came to the situation of wanting to fall down and scatter, the king of the Baoxiang Kingdom really couldn't stand it, so he ordered to severely punish the robbers, the domestic masters did not make any effort, so they spent money to hire foreign masters as a recovery team, spent a huge amount of money to kill several groups of robbers, recovered some Buddhist scripture treasures, in order to increase the weight of the Great Treasure Xiangguo Temple, but also personally converted in the Great Treasure Xiangguo Temple, became its lay disciples, generations of royal families have also taken refuge here, barely kept the Great Treasure Xiangguo Temple.

But this time the injury was too ruthless, and the foundation was moved, even if the abbots of the past dynasties tried their best to restore the glory of the Great Treasure Elephant Temple, until now, the Great Treasure Elephant Temple has not been able to recover, and only succumbed to the second rate of the Treasure Elephant Country, and the temple property has been eaten up little by little.

Therefore, Dabao Xiangguo Temple is in a very embarrassing situation, with a great reputation, like thunder, and the king also strongly supports it, but its own strength can not go up, and it can only be in a second-rate position, barely ranking in the top ten.

Regarding the situation of the Great Treasure Elephant Temple, other countries do not know much because of the distance, and many of them still stay in the glory of the battle to protect the country of the Great Treasure Elephant Temple, preserving the glorious memories of the past, and from the name it is taken for granted that it has a high status in the Treasure Elephant Country.

Because of these sad history and cruel reality, restoring the past glory of Dabao Xiangguo Temple has become the biggest dream of the whole temple.

Of course, it is very difficult, and it requires a little bit of effort from generation to generation of monks.

However, the tragedy is that this dream has not yet been realized, and now it is in danger of being shattered.

Dabao Xiangguo Temple has long been in the status of the second-rate temple of Baoxiang country, but the name is called Dabao Xiangguo Temple, very domineering, and its name is very incompatible, and it has caused long-term influence abroad, and even the influence of Dabao Xiangguo Temple in several surrounding countries is greater than in Baoxiang country, which suppresses several first-class temples in Baoxiang country to expand their influence outward, and is minded by the major temples, so since more than 30 years ago, every year there are big temples asking to change this name to the most influential temple in Baoxiang country, or at least it should be removed, otherwise a second-rate temple, but called Dabao Xiangguo Temple, after going out to lose people, that loss is the entire Baoxiang country。

At first, the royal family ignored it, but as the opposition of more and more temples became stronger and stronger, especially several first-class temples in the Baoxiang Kingdom joined in to exert pressure, the king had to consider, after all, the country's monks and soldiers can be more than the army, and they are stronger than the army, and he can be the king steadily, and he has to rely on the support of several first-class temples in the country.

Therefore, this year, the king decided to hold a contest in which all temples could participate, that is, through the competition to determine who is the strongest, and finally to change the name of "Dabao Xiangguo Temple" to whom, the time is 100 years.

This game seems fair, but it is absolutely unfair to Dabao Xiangguo Temple. The Great Treasure Xiangguo Temple has been in decline for many years, and now it has not yet been revived, so if such a contest for a name is held, isn't it clear that the brand of the Great Treasure Xiangguo Temple will be taken off? Without this brand, is it still necessary for the existence of the Great Treasure Xiangguo Temple? This ancient temple is supported by its name, and if the name is changed, I am afraid that there is no need for its existence.

The abbot presided over the argument, but the king still insisted, and asked the Great Treasure Xiangguo Temple to also participate, but he would give a certain amount of inclination to the rules of the game.

In order to maintain the name, Daeho Sangkokuji can only choose to participate in the competition.

This is a battle for survival, a battle for dignity.

For this desperate fight, the whole temple is very interested in everything that restores the strength of the Great Treasure Xiangguo Temple, including this treasure digging.

The treasure map comes from an old man who has taken refuge in the Great Treasure Xiangguo Temple, who came from Linhai Country to take refuge because he heard that the Great Treasure Xiangguo Temple is very famous. After the conversion, the pious and kind old man handed over a pair of ancestral treasure maps to the old abbot Huici.

According to him, the treasure map itself is from the Great Treasure Xiangguo Temple, is one of the countless treasures that were stolen that year, and now he is returned to the original owner, which is also considered a merit, and the old abbot of Huici also saw that there is indeed a seal of the Great Treasure Xiangguo Temple, and it is confirmed that it is the antiquities that were lost before the Great Treasure Xiangguo Temple.

Although I don't know what is hidden in this treasure map, I was very happy to get such a treasure by chance, so I sent the chief disciple Mo Nian to lead the powerful Mo Zhi, Qingjing, and Qingxuan to go treasure hunting with the treasure map, and by the way, when passing by Luoying City, the Buddha Washing Festival was presided over.

So, the four of Mo Nian appeared in Luoying City.

Now that the Buddha Washing Festival in Sakura City is over, they have to dig up treasures.

The gallop was bumpy all the way, and the four of them did not dare to slack off.

Mo Nian rode on the Wind Chasing Spirit Tiger, stood on the top of a small mountain bag, took out the tattered and dirty treasure map, and then compared the instructions on the map with the mountain and river scene in front of him.

Although the picture is very old, the drawing is still quite clear, and some iconic things can be found, so after determining the direction, the four of them continue to move forward.

After walking for three days in a row, I walked more than a thousand miles of mountain road every day before I came to the mountain that stretched for thousands of miles as shown in the treasure map.

"There's a temple ahead, let's rest and rest before we go. "Qing Xuan, who is relatively shallow, after riding the tiger for several days in a row, he can't stand it, the tiger does run fast, but it is also very unstable, all kinds of climbing, jumping, bumping, and almost turning his stomach out.

Mo Nian looked, sure enough, at the foot of the mountain, in a corner, there is a temple, you must know that there are very few temples in Linhai, and there are many Taoist temples, and you can see a temple here at this time, which is indeed kind enough.

The four of them marched towards the temple, and in less than half an hour they arrived.
