In the year 941 of the Tang Tianlong calendar, one day in late autumn, outside the cherry blossom city, the flow of people is like weaving, the cherry blossom trees that are blessed by the great array all the year round and are full of flowers float down the cherry blossoms one after another, sweeping over the heads of people, the mage warriors riding rare and exotic beasts and the ordinary people riding donkeys and mules and horses, as well as the dirty and thin slaves tied to the chains are lined up side by side along the four official roads of the east, west, north and south, entering and leaving the city, shuttling back and forth.
Near noon, five mages appeared on Dongguan Road on the shore of Liuhu Lake, attracting the attention of everyone around.
There are many reasons why these five people make everyone look sideways, such as five people, four men and one woman, all wearing a short robe with a similar style to a mage, it looks like a master is from the same family, and the material of the robe is an expensive enchanted silk robe, with a glimmer, not only extravagant and good-looking, but also with the attribute of resisting ice and fire. In addition, the five of them rode the flame whirling deer, and this kind of spirit beast could not be raised by ordinary sects, and a week's ration was worth the average person for a year.
And the appearance is also extraordinary, among the five people, the male temperament is refined, handsome and heroic, obviously the temperament nourished by profound cultivation, and the only young woman is extraordinarily bright and lovely, with a rather noble crown of golden hair, which did not make her serious, and talked and laughed with a few other people along the way, and her innocent posture is much more pleasing to the eye than the cold and cold of the female mage in the past.
The five people with a high rate of turning back walked all the way along Dongguan Road into the majestic and huge city gate, the three-layer moat array and 500,000 residents of the southern pearl of Linhai Country-Luoying City.
"Senior Sister Zi Ying, this time we should take a detour to Luoying City and not stay for too long, otherwise we will definitely be scolded by the master when we go back. Zhou Yuanjian, who is the tallest and the least courageous, reminded. He knew that although his junior sister Ye Ziying was extremely talented, she was a first-class master among the inner disciples of the Seven Star Sword Sect who were within the age of twenty, and he must know that within the age of 20, there were more than seven hundred inner disciples alone, ranking in the top ten, which could be called a genius. But her personality is naughty and clever, she has always loved to have fun, she is not diligent in cultivation, and she has stabbed a lot of baskets, and every time the master can't bear to scold her, she always lets a few senior brothers carry the black pot.
This time they were ordered by the master to go to the zombie valley of Wolong County to seal the demon, although there were ups and downs, but the task was successfully completed, according to the rules of the Seven Star Sword Sect, they must go back immediately to restore their lives, Ye Ziying went out of the mountain to seal the demon experience with the disciples for the first time, and it felt strange everywhere, and he had to go to the southern capital of Linhai to play in Luoying City, he didn't agree, but Senior Brother Xiao Qi, who was in charge of this task, loved Ye Ziying and agreed, and he couldn't refuse.
However, he was afraid that Ye Ziying would have fun, stay here for too long, play for ten days and half a month and then go back, and he will definitely be scolded at that time.
"Oh, Senior Brother Yuanjian, you are the least daring, the master wants to scold, let him scold me, I will bear it. Ye Ziying glared at Zhou Yuanjian with almond eyes, and then said with a heartfelt voice: "Look at it, the name of this city is Luoying, there is a cherry word, my name is Ziying, there is also a cherry word, I have a lot of fate with this city, I passed by and didn't come to see, I'm so sorry for it." Senior Brother Xiao Qi, are you right?"
Xiao Qi on the side, although his strength is on par with Ye Ziying, he is the oldest of the five, nearly thirty years old, and he is relatively mature and calm, so he was appointed by the master to be in charge of this mission and became the captain. Because of his age, he has always regarded Ye Ziying as his sister, and he has been letting her all the way, taking Ye Ziying and them to Luoying City at the risk. Ye Ziying said this, he really didn't know how to speak for a while.
"I don't think so. There is also a word in my name, and I don't feel that I have anything to do with this city, I have passed by seven or eight times, but I have not been here. Xiao Qi hadn't opened his mouth yet, and Du Luofeng, who was on the very edge, answered first.
"That's the state where you don't have a heart or lungs, and you don't comprehend what the master said, 'all things are in unison'. Ye Ziying replied and moved out of the master.
When Xiao Qi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. The master taught them that people and heaven and earth are originally one mind, and they must naturally integrate into it, and they must maintain a sense of closeness to all things when cultivating, so that they can finally achieve the unity of heaven and earth, but I didn't expect Ye Ziying to be used here.
"Senior Sister Ziying is really good, learn and use it!" Senior Brother Bai Feng, who had short silver curly hair, stretched out his thumb and praised, he had always had a good impression of Ye Ziying, and he was touting and praising all the way.
"Okay, you're the best at bickering. Xiao Qi laughed. "But this time I really can't stay for a long time, the master said that when we go back, we will teach us to cultivate the sixth layer of 'Yuyang Gong', go back as soon as possible, and learn the gong as soon as possible. ”
"Okay, okay, five days. Ye Ziying said.
"No, three days at most!" Xiao Qi said.
"Hehe, okay, it's just three days!" Ye Ziying replied with a smug smile, she deliberately said a few more days, so that Xiao Qi still lost more than expected.
Xiao Qi was stunned, only to find out that he had been tricked by Ye Ziying, and he originally planned to return in one day, but as soon as the words came out, he couldn't change it.
"Alas, Senior Brother Xiao Qi, you are just too kind! Zhou Yuanjian sighed.
The five of them rode the flame whirling deer from the city gate to the main street as they spoke, and among the rows of restaurants and inns, they found the most luxurious-looking one, and after opening the room first, the five of them went out to visit the market in twos and threes, and bought what they needed.
The market is far more lively than other places, and it is full of all kinds of goods for sale, such as demon beast skins, tendons and claws, weapons of various grades, elixirs, magic weapons, spirit animals, clothing and robes, pearls, gems, and even women's blush, rouge, copper mirrors, makeup, and so on.
"The tears of the mermaids in the South China Sea turned into a big pearl! Big, round and full!
"The ore of Beiju Luzhou, it is necessary to build magic weapons and weapons! One pound and three taels of gold, it is cheap, you will not suffer a loss if you buy a piece, you will not be fooled if you buy a piece, and you can keep your children and grandchildren if you don't use it! If you don't buy it, you can take a look!"
"The gem of the deep sea of Dongsheng Shenzhou! The gem bed in the Dragon King's Palace was cut off from death! It is so cheap that you burst into tears, hurry up and take a look at ......"
"The nectar in the jade bottle of Guanyin Bodhisattva in Putuo Mountain! A drop can restore the sight of the blind, a drop of friends with eye diseases can make you feel the love of the Bodhisattva!"
All kinds of selling, all kinds of strange things, made the newcomer Ye Ziying feel very novel, and wanted to touch everything, if it wasn't for Xiao Qi reminding her along the way that there are more fakes than real goods here, she would have already spent the silver on her body.
Later, several people had a disagreement over whether they should go back to cultivation or eat delicious food, mainly because of Ye Ziying's suggestion, and decided to go their separate ways. Ye Ziying and Bai Feng went to eat, drink and watch the play, and the other three went back to practice.
Ye Ziying and Bai Feng first asked people what was the best food in Luoying City, and then found several century-old shops to taste them one by one, Bai Feng paid money, he came from the top ten families in Linhai Country before he entered the Seven Star Sword Sect, and the family also sent people to send money and pills every year, so there was never a shortage of money, every time he touched Ye Ziying to spend money to buy something, he must take the initiative to pay for it, which won Ye Ziying's favor, and the two ate and drank until nightfall, and then bought tickets for the famous theater "Jingfu Society" to watch the play.
Tonight's scene is called "The Prodigal Son Turns Back and Doesn't Change the Famous Legend of the High Monk Buddhism", and the famous actors of the theater play the story, which tells the story of the notorious Jiangyang thieves in the Baoxiang country next to the Linhai country, and the high-ranking monk Mo Nian of the Great Treasure Xiangguo Temple crosses the river.
The story is also wonderful, Jiangyang thieves do all kinds of evil, meet Mo Nian Zen Master, the master is profound, but does not use force, with mercy seven to capture seven thieves, and finally probation thieves, all converted to Buddhism, especially at the beginning of a period of Mo Nian Zen Master miserable life experience, her mother is a flower willow woman, mistakenly into the hook bar for a prostitute, and a scholar fell in love, but was miserably abandoned by the scholar after pregnancy, and finally gave birth to Mo Nian and died, this period is particularly miserable, so that some women who watch the play cry, men sigh.
Ye Ziying knew from the mouth of the master that in the west of Linhai Country, tens of thousands of miles away, there is a Buddha country called Baoxiang Country, the whole country worships Buddhism, and Buddhists have a lofty majesty in the entire Baoxiang Country. And the Great Treasure Elephant Temple is the oldest Buddhist temple in the Treasure Elephant Country, even the king of the Treasure Elephant Country has taken refuge here, is its lay disciple, the legend is that the Great Treasure Elephant Temple is very good, and the status in the Treasure Elephant Country is also very high, there are three Buddhas who are cultivated to a very high level, even if the Seven Star Sword Sect, they have to be afraid of three points.
As for what Mo Nian Zen Master, she has never heard of it, and only after watching the play did she know that it was a monk who had attained Taoism in Dabao Xiangguo Temple, and he didn't seem to be very old, but his life experience was really miserable, if the situation was true.
"Hmph, this big treasure Xiangguo Temple is really shameless, and the Buddhist missionaries have all come to my Linhai country. Ye Ziying was dissatisfied while watching the play.
Bai Feng nodded, a little indignant: "Yes, as soon as you said it, I just remembered that there seem to be several Buddhist temples in Luoying City, this matter is worth being vigilant against, my country has always been dominated by Taoism, and there is a Buddhist gate in Luoying City that is hyped up, isn't it ignoring the majesty of my Taoism, this drama should also play my Taoist ancestor, they still cross the wicked." ”
The two of them were just indignant here, but they heard the old man on the side say, "The two of you are from the north." ”
