After Lu Zu and the others left the Houdaling Palace, they traveled all the way against the wind, galloping, and soon stayed away from the boundary of the West Daoling Continent.

During this process, Xu Jiuyuan couldn't help but ask, "Master, why did you just give the title deed to the other party?" ”

Lu Shenqing smiled slightly, "Lao Jiu, take a long-term view, the title deed of the capital of the Daling Dynasty, left in our hands, can only be a piece of paper most of the time, but now if you can use this paper to fight for some blessings for Lu Guan, it will be worth it." ”

The old palace master of the Ancestral God Palace stood on the top of the mountain, watching from afar as the two guys broke through the canopy and went to another world.

He sighed and muttered in a low voice, "It's finally back, and it's still not worrying like this." ”

————

West Dao Lingzhou, southwest zone.

There is a dynasty called the Yushui Kingdom, which is the south of the Wangjiang River in the West Daoling Continent, and it is one of the few countries that is not attached to the overlord Daling Dynasty.

The founding history of the Yushui Kingdom is even older than that of the Daling Dynasty, and in its heyday, it was even able to compete with the behemoth of the Daling Dynasty for the hegemony of Banzhou.

Although the Yushui Dynasty was defeated in the Battle of Dingding at that time, for hundreds of years, it was still one of the great powers in the south of the Wangjiang River after the Daling Dynasty.

In fact, in the hundreds of years after the Battle of Dingding, the Daling Dynasty did not think about conquering this hard bone, and in its history, it has launched many wars for hegemony with the Yushui Kingdom.

But even if the Imperial Water Country was beaten to the point that only three counties remained, it still maintained the national ancestry.

This country is like a nail, stuck in the southwestern throat of the southern half of the continent, which makes the Daling Dynasty, as the overlord of the half of the continent, quite uncomfortable.

Now the capital is Yushui Country, and the territory is not large, only seven states, compared to the twenty-six states of the Daling Dynasty, which dominates half of the continent, it is not a star and a half.

In the northern part of Jingzhou, Yushui Country, on a remote mountain road, there is a young man with a bookcase on his back and a thin horse walking forward.

This person has a handsome face and a tall posture, and the key is that he has an extremely unique temperament on his body, which makes people can't help but look sideways.

He wasn't fast, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry.

The nearby mountains are deep and the trees are large, and the ancient trees are reckless, which is particularly difficult to walk, and the young people stop and stop all the way to see the scenery in the surrounding mountains and fields, which is also comfortable and comfortable.

In the evening, the golden wuxi falls, the shadows in the mountains and forests are full of shadows, and the unknown birds chirp non-stop.

The young man led the lean horse and stretched.

There was a dilapidated mountain temple not far ahead, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the temple had already been empty, leaving a mess.

The young man muttered in a low voice, "Why don't you rest there for the night tonight, you should be able to reach that Yuzhu Town tomorrow." ”

Soon, he led the thin horse to the dilapidated mountain temple, stood at the door and looked, sure enough, there was no popularity inside.

The gate has long since become crumbling after the destruction of time, most of the surrounding walls have collapsed, and the ground is full of dead branches and leaves.

Suddenly, a faint golden glow flashed in the young man's eyes, and the entire temple instantly became invisible in his eyes.

After making sure that there were no wild monsters in the mountains, the boy led the thin horse, walked into it, and tied the thin horse under a large tree in the temple.

He wandered around the dilapidated temple as if nothing had happened, and first came to the front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, where the tall and solemn seated statue of the Buddha had been toppled, and the Buddha did not know where it had been thrown, and even a layer of gold dust on its surface had been scraped away.

Then, the boy walked around the temple again, and it was all about the same situation, the walls collapsed, the houses collapsed, the buildings were empty, and the eyes were full of depression.

However, on a dilapidated three-story wooden building at the back of the temple, the boy found a number of Buddhist classics, some of which were dilapidated, and only a few of them were well preserved.

He said softly, "As the years go by, only these worthless scriptures can be preserved, and they have not been taken away for money by those with ulterior motives." ”

He squatted on the ground, gathered the scattered scriptures in one place, and finally selected thirteen Buddhist classics that had not been damaged in any way, and put them into the bookcase behind him.

Back at the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the young man demolished a window to use as firewood, cast a spell, and a flame sprang up from his fingertips, and a bonfire was instantly lit.

Soon, the sun was completely sinking in the west, and the young man took out the dry food he had prepared before from the storage magic weapon, and while reaching out to bake the fire, he lowered his head and ate the dry food.

The young man was the one who had left the Miracle Cave Heaven and planned to go to the Eastern Passing Divine Continent hundreds of thousands of miles away to apprentice.

On the third day after coming down from Tiandu Mountain, he hid his identity and left the Miracle Cave.

The First Ancestor had instructed him before that the young man didn't have to wait for him and the Ninth Master to come back, and just traveled far away.

Lu Guan ate dry food, and glanced into the courtyard from time to time to see if there was any abnormality, after all, he was out alone, and in this kind of deep mountains and forests, it was better to be careful.

In fact, there is some speculation in the young man's heart about the reason for the dilapidated decline of this ancient temple in the mountains, which may be related to the famous extermination of Buddha in the history of the West Dao Lingzhou.

The original West Dao Lingzhou, a continent of Buddhism prevailed, from the Buddhism to occupy the dominated world, crossed to spread the Dharma to spread the Buddha of countless monks, just five hundred years of time, so that a continent almost became the world of Buddhism.

There are countless temples built on the mountain and under the mountain, and from the canopy of the West Dao Lingzhou, the eyes are full of temples, and the incense is prosperous.

During that period, the rest of the Taoist lineages wanted to preach and teach the Dharma in the Western Dao Lingzhou, and the first person they visited was not the emperor of the local secular dynasty, but the eminent monk who led the local Buddhism.

It would be fine if it was just like this, but later Buddhism gradually became a little "tasteless", and those large temples with flourishing incense had monks ranging from thousands to tens of thousands.

What's more, in the territory of today's Dajing Dynasty, there was a temple that ruled a continent, and in its most glorious period, it was once claimed to have more than 100,000 Buddhas.

Once these monks were admitted to the monkhood, not only were they exempted from taxes and forced labor for life, but also the surrounding fertile land was encroached upon by these people.

In the face of this situation, the secular dynasty of the Western Daoling Continent later united with the Daomen, Confucianism, sword cultivation and other legal systems, and six thousand years ago, the first time in the history of the Western Daoling Continent was opened to destroy the Buddha.

Just as the boy was recalling this incident, suddenly, there was a hurried sound at the door, and then, three horses were listening outside the temple, neighing incessantly, the night breeze blowing, and the ancient trees in the courtyard rattled.

The boy looked up sharply, and someone came.
