Sword Falling Red Dust (continued) Chapter 75 No Taran
Walking through the mountains and forests and stepping on the stream, Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo, like real worshippers, walked towards Talambang City step by step.
After crossing a low hill, Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo could already see the whole picture of Talambang City.
Lying quietly in a valley, the city of Taran is home to numerous temples with red tiles and golden roofs.
Clear sunlight shone through the mountains, and a bright band of light shining through the recesses of the peaks shone through the Golden Buddha Pagoda in the center of Talan City, lined with a faint mist.
The scenery here, if it weren't for the two of them having important tasks, Xu Cheng would still want to lie down and enjoy it.
Zhang Mo, I'm not very interested in this, I just think it's good-looking and comfortable, she doesn't have such a whim as Xu Cheng, generally speaking, Zhang Mo will still be more pragmatic.
However, the two of them still have a lot of things to do, so naturally after a short period of appreciation, they went down the mountain and walked towards the city.
As the saying goes, the morning bell is close to the early morning, and it stands to reason that this famous Buddha country of Talan will definitely ring a leisurely bell ringing.
However, until Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo walked outside the gate of Talambang City, they did not hear the slightest bell.
What's even more weird is that even the guards who should have come out to stand guard at the city gate a long time ago are nowhere to be seen, no matter how merciful the Buddha country is, the world is the same, and it will not be unguarded against the wicked people in the world.
Standing outside the vast city gate dozens of zhang high, Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo were a little stunned.
No matter when, where or what happens, it's never the things that are placed in front of you that make people scary, and it's never the unknown that makes people scary.
Along the way, whether it is a village or a Buddhist temple, there are ten rooms and nine emptiness, even if there are two or three families left, they all do not believe in Buddhism, and those who say that they leave are going to worship in the Buddhist country.
Needless to say, mortals who don't live long can't know everything about their relatives and friends, and they may not even know when they leave, so how can they expect them to know where these people are going in the end.
But whether it is a low-level country demon, a Buddhist monk who is sincere to the Buddha, or a high-level monk in the previous Acropolis Buddhist monastery, no one can say where he came from.
Such a situation is really too weird, Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo never imagined that the situation in the Buddhist Gate was diametrically opposed to the territory of the Demon Clan.
On the one hand, it was difficult to get in and out, and all the people were gathered in one city, and on the other hand, they went out one after another, disappearing sometime and place that no one knew.
Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo thought that when they arrived at a big city, no matter how they said it, there would still be some people, so that even the high-level monks would disappear without a trace.
But after the acropolis a few days ago, no one came to look for them, and they actually began to have some suspicions, maybe the situation in Taran City will not be very good.
After all, there is a mantra seal formation hidden in the acropolis that can release the power of the Wendao realm, so it must be that the cultivation of the monk who originally operated it will not be lower than the realm of returning to silence, and there may even be more than one Buddhist monk who cultivates like this.
However, when they walked outside Talan City, the two of them knew that Talan City was basically an empty city, and as for whether there were people or demons or other creatures inside, they still had to go in to see if there were any.
That's right, after some fundraising, Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo still decided to enter Talambang City.
The two of them worked together to urge the spiritual power of the demon pill, and the physical body and spiritual power worked together, pushing open this huge city gate that I don't know how long it had been sleeping with a little effort.
The two huge door panels should have been cast with some special materials, and the two of them had obviously used their spiritual power to the extreme, but in the end, they could only open a crack in the door that could accommodate one person to pass through.
This is still calculated according to the cultivation of the two of them in the Demon Monarch realm, Xu Cheng didn't dare to think about how much manpower and time it would take to open and close the city gate once if it was a place guarded by the ordinary demon realm.
Of course, there is no effort to make Xu Cheng think nonsense now, facing the cold wind that seems to have not been blown for a long time, Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo walked into the city one after another, and everything in front of them made the two extremely puzzled.
"According to the villagers and demons along the way, the situation of the residents not returning should have happened for a hundred years, even if there is a discount, according to the disappearance of people in Talan City fifty years ago, then this place should not be so clean, right?"
As soon as he entered the city of Talambang, Zhang Mo was bewildered by the unusually clean and dusty streets.
Of course, Xu Cheng was also strange, he didn't make a sound, he squatted down quietly, tentatively rubbing the clean bluestone floor of Talan City.
Don't say that there is no one to live, even if there is a person who lives, there will not even be a little dirt and dust on the main road that people come and go into the city every day.
Xu Cheng asked in his heart, and Zhang Mo felt it instantly, so he asked in his heart: "I'm a little scared, my husband ......"
"Hearing this", Xu Cheng hurriedly got up, habitually clapped his hands, hugged Zhang Mo's arms, and said don't be afraid, but there was still some hesitation in his eyes.
Fortunately, the two of them were only stunned by such a strange time for a while, and after a short period of psychological construction, the two continued to work together, step by step, towards the center of the city, which should have the highest cultivation as a monk.
The two of them didn't walk fast, and because most of the cities had flight bans, the temples everywhere would have defensive formations similar to the acropolis.
Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo didn't want to have trouble in their lives, so they walked along the jagged roads of various temples and slowly walked into this legendary city of Buddhism.
I have to say that the density of temples in Talan City is definitely the largest place that Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo have seen in their lives, even if they have been to some Buddhist-dominated cities before, they will not be like here, all the temples are like private houses, on a road, almost the wall is another Buddhist temple.
In such a concentrated temple, the atmosphere of natural Buddhism is strong, and even now there is no one to see, but Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo can still smell the smell of incense that almost penetrates the wall tiles and stone bricks.
The physical fitness of the cultivators is excellent, and even after climbing several hills and walking for half a day in a row, the two of them still do not feel tired.
However, since it is used to walk, and it is necessary to pay attention to the search everywhere, it is naturally half a day, and even the length of Talan City has not been reached.
The two entered through the North Gate, and now they have made a detour to the Yuanshengtang area of the North City to buy daily necessities.
People in Buddhism advocate pure hearts and few desires, and practice without delusion, but as long as they are living beings and monks, there are still various needs, so there is still a market in Talan City.
However, in Buddhism, it is said to be euphemistic, and the word of buying and selling, in other words, is to become attached to things.
When you buy something from this vendor, you are associated with it, and the merchant is associated with the thing you exchanged, and you and the merchant are also invisibly implicated in cause and effect.
Buddhism renews that it is not that Buddhist disciples are not allowed to do business, but they can obtain the necessities of life normally, if they commit fraud and profiteering, they must not wait for the buyer to complain, and their parents will find out and clean up the portal.
Therefore, the price of goods here, Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo should be extremely low according to the situation they knew in other Buddhist cities before.
When the two of them learned about this at the time, they thought with some bad amusement that if one day, among the hundred monks, those merchants who had painstakingly studied the profit and loss of trading would accidentally come to a place like the Golden Treasure Domain, where the sales system was completely subject to moral constraints, it would not cause them to collapse economically.
Thinking of the financial crisis that swept the world many times in their previous lives, the two even looked forward to it, wanting to see if the impact of merchants on Buddhism would directly kill them without blood, and they didn't even need to use force, so they would make a mess of their grassroots world.
In a short period of time, the Golden Tibetan Domain will inevitably be in chaos, and when the Immortal Fan Domain and the Ten Thousand Dao Domain join forces with the Demon Clan, maybe the Erbuddha Sect will really be seriously injured.
It's a pity that this is a special period, let alone whether to do business or not, there is not even a ghost in this huge city, which is the most noteworthy and solvable thing.
In the middle of the day, even the warm spring sun is a little hot at the moment.
Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo sat on a step on the side of the road to rest, not because they were tired, but because of the scene along the way, which made them hesitate a little as they walked inside.
They now figured out why Taran was so clean and clean even though it was uninhabited.
When the two of them were cautiously probing outside, they accidentally touched a layer of formation power.
The strength of this formation is slight, and on average, the range per square foot is not even as strong as that of an adult man.
However, this formation is active all the time, falling from the sky above Talan City, and then flying up from the ground, repeating the cycle, with an average of one stick of incense going back and forth.
Zhang Mo has a better understanding of miscellaneous studies, she thinks that this should be some kind of self-cleaning formation, presumably because of the simple formation created by Buddhism for a clean living environment.
In this world, all kinds of cultivation methods, that is, the three schools of Tao, Buddhism, and Bing have studied the formation more deeply.
This time, Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo came to the Golden Tibetan Domain, and they rarely saw the formation on the side of the demon clan, but before and after entering the Great City of Buddhism, they had already seen the powerful six-character clear heart mantra seal array, as well as such a dust-cleaning array with great life characteristics.
But it was just a dust cleaning array, and the two of them walked through so many temples, and even explored many temples inside, and there was no clutter in them, as if they had just left people yesterday.
The two of them even found a half-flipped scroll on a stone table in a courtyard, and the practice catechesis on it had already touched the heart of the Dao Buddha, which belonged to the top level of the lower realm.
Such a secret scroll could not be placed in one place for people to look at at at random, there must have been a monk who was at least above the circle of Nirvana, and was figuring out the mystery at that time.
However, now, there is no trace of anyone to speak of, it is unimaginable, what kind of power does the Nether Realm have, can allow a monk who is comprehending the Dao Realm Dao Dharma to leave and disappear without a struggle.
If you ask why you don't take the initiative to leave, who can be so careless in the face of such exercises?
Sitting on the steps at this moment, the more Xu Cheng and Zhang Mo thought about the details, the more they suddenly felt that this was strange and abnormal, and just when the two of them were chilling behind them, suddenly an extremely slight footstep sound came from a small road in the distance.
Although the sound was very light and far away, it was like thunder for the two of them, and they looked at each other, then immediately got up and ran in the direction where the sound came from, so fast that two afterimages were directly pulled out in the air.
