Chapter 207: Watching the Sea and Twin Corridors
The boatman glanced into the box, and saw that there was a strange iron tool inside, which had the shape of a rake, and the young man surnamed Fang said that it was a relic of his mother, but how could the women keep the iron rake as a souvenir.
He couldn't see the mystery.
Ding Xing saw at a glance that the iron rake was not a mortal thing, but a magic weapon used by a monk, which also reminded Ding Xing of his life in the garden of Jinlu Winery when he was a teenager, and he regularly used a fire rock plow to turn the soil for his orchard.
This iron rake can actually be used for farming, but because it has refined more than ten rake nails, there are red blood stains left on the nails, and it is a treasure used to fight.
The reason why Ding Xing rented this passenger ship was because he sensed the aura of the iron rake in the box when he was on the shore of the lake, but he had observed the young man surnamed Fang, who was just a mortal, not a desert monk, which would inevitably make people suspicious.
The key is that the young man surnamed Fang is dressed as a scholar, which is almost the same as Ding Xing's dress when he lived in Jinlu Winery, which evokes Ding Xing's memories when he was a teenager, and he took the same boat with the young man surnamed Fang on a whim.
The young man surnamed Fang looked like a dusty man, with occasional melancholy in his eyes, he had been thinking about his own affairs since he got on the boat, and he didn't pay much attention to Ding Xing, he couldn't see through Ding Xing's details, just when Ding Xing was an ordinary old man on the ferry, he couldn't raise his interest in communication.
He prefers to talk to the boatman, after all, he is an outsider, and he wants to ask the boatman about the situation.
"I heard that the presiding officer of Qingol Temple wishes the master to be merciful, benevolent, and known as the name of the holy monk, is anyone who asks for the door of his temple can be given a holy hand by him?"
"Since the long wish of the holy monk to live in the heart of the leaf lake, there are indeed countless living people, the heart of compassion is famous far and wide, the local people are willing to offer incense, but he is not in the temple now, he has been out of the world a month ago, no one knows when he will come back, if Fang Gongzi comes to the door to ask for help, I am afraid that he will have to wait for some time. ”
"As long as the holy monks are really generous to the people, I am willing to wait for as long as I want. ”
After listening to this, the boatman realized that the real intention of the young man surnamed Fang was not simply to play, but to burn incense and worship the Buddha and pray for help.
The boatman said: "There is more than one long-wishing holy monk on Xinye Island, there are many immortal masters living on the island, they all have great magic and great magical powers, and they are usually willing to solve problems for the local people, but they will not help for free, if anyone asks for them, they must first serve them for some time, if the long-wishing master does not return for a long time, and Fang Gongzi really can't wait, you might as well go and ask to see these immortal masters." ”
The young man surnamed Fang nodded, "If you can't wait for Master Changyuan, then I'll go and see you again." ”
When the boatman saw him touching the wooden box, he suddenly became sentimental, as if he was thinking of things, and he should have remembered his deceased mother, so he stopped being long-winded.
Dante Xing picked up the conversation and asked the boatman: "Are the immortal masters here all living on the island?"
"Shiju?" The boatman shook his head: "Where is the Shiju, before the opening of the Qingchu Temple, there were only a few immortal masters on the island, and the rest were all our people living, at that time the island was very desolate, after the master of Changyuan came, I don't know what Dharma he did, but he made the dead trees spring, the grass and trees grew violently, and even the gradually sandy lake water gushed again!"
When Ding Xing heard this, he thought of the Eye of the Spirit Spring that was given to the monk of Changyuan back then, this master had refined the Spring Eye into the Heart Leaf Island, and in a few years, the original barren island had become a place of spiritual veins full of greenery.
It is also that the long-term wish monk has settled for too short, if he is allowed to settle down for more than ten years, the territory of Xinye Lake in the past eight hundred miles, it is possible to restore the original state.
The boatman continued: "When the temple was opened for a year, the birds and flowers on the island were like a sacred place for immortals, so they attracted all the immortal masters of the nearby oasis, and I heard that they had a conflict with the master of Changyuan for the matter of settling in, and later they may have admired the benevolent Buddha heart of the master, so they lived in harmony......
He suddenly remembered that the immortal masters have the magic power of the wind ear, and he can secretly hear him speak across the lake for more than ten miles, and he chews the root of his mouth here, but he is happy, in case the immortal masters hear it, maybe he will have to wear small shoes for him, he has a few ferry companions, just because when chatting with the passengers, he said bad things about individual immortal masters, and as a result, he was inexplicably seriously ill and almost died.
He hurriedly added: "The Immortal Buddha is originally a family, and all the Immortal Masters on Xinye Island and the Master of Changyuan cherish each other, all of them are in Puji for all living beings, and they are all living Bodhisattvas anyway. ”
Ding Xing laughed slightly when he heard this, this boatman is old and sophisticated.
Sympathy for each other is naturally not true, and those so-called immortal masters are willing to live in harmony with the long-wishing monks, which is obviously the result of getting along with checks and balances.
There are almost no spiritual veins in the oasis of the Tiandong Desert, and the cultivation environment of the oasis monks everywhere is quite harsh without exception, otherwise the 'Four Heavenly Kings' of the past would not have to sneak into the Golden Dew Winery and steal the spirit cellar and spirit wine.
It is precisely because of the shortage of spiritual veins that when the Changyuan monk refines the spiritual spring on Xinye Island, a large number of indigenous monks will be attracted to the island, but they belong to different oases, and they are evenly matched with each other, and no one can expel anyone, so they each demarcate a territory on the island and settle down.
Ding Xing chatted with the boatman, and the boat soon approached the shore.
When getting off the boat, the boatman pointed out the way to Ding Xing and the young man surnamed Fang: "There are four cities and one temple on this island, Qingol Temple is located in the center, surrounded by four cities, these towns are all built along the mountains, and there are many small mountain roads, but you don't have to worry about getting lost in the mountains!"
Ding Xing looked in the direction of the boatman's finger, the small hillside of the island was undulating, and there were residential buildings everywhere on the mountain.
The boatman said: "In order to facilitate the people to enter the temple to burn incense and repay their vows, the master of Changyuan built several official roads to the Buddha on the island, no matter which official road you follow, you are guaranteed to be able to reach the Qingol Temple, you remember, there are Buddha incense on both sides of the official road, the fragrance is emitted during the day, and it will glow at night, this is a mark, it is very easy to find, you can leave." ”
Qingol Temple is located in the center of the island, the Lingquan is also refined here, has been integrated with the entire island, the aura is scattered throughout the island, those monks who moved in from all over the world, by default Lingquan is the territory of the Qingol Temple within a radius of ten miles, and the rest of the island area is built by these monks in the city, and the 'four cities' mentioned by the boatman are actually the territory of the four Xuanfu monks.
However, Ding Xing explored the caves on the island, but did not find any trace of the Xuanfu monks, as if they had gone out of the house collectively, so Ding Xing had no way to ask them about the news of the long-term monk.
He decided to enter the Qingol Temple first, maybe the little novice of the temple would know something.
He looked around the shore, and soon found the official road of Buddha incense that the boatman said, and followed the road towards the end, and sure enough, it went straight to the gate of the Qingol Temple.
Who knew that as soon as he took a step, the young man surnamed Fang came up and said to him: "The seniors also went to Qingol Temple to worship the Buddha and make vows?
Ding Xing laughed: "The road is facing the sky, if you like to go, what is good or bad." ”
The young man surnamed Fang trotted to catch up with him: "The younger generation's surname is Fang, his name is Zhenyu, he was originally a person from the Moon Corridor Oasis, because of the insect plague in his hometown, he trekked to Xinye Lake, just now on the boat, I heard that the seniors are not like locals, where do you live in your hometown?"
The Moon Corridor Oasis is the closest to the Moon Sea, and if you want to go to the sea viewing promenade, this oasis is a must.
Earlier, Ding Xing inquired about the situation of the Tiandong Desert in the Pearl Oasis, and paid special attention to the sea viewing corridor, which is the two sea passages connecting the Tiandong Continent to the West Pole Continent.
At this moment, hearing that Fang Zhenyu was from the Moon Corridor Oasis, Ding Xing casually asked: "Insect plague? The sand beasts in the Tiandong Desert are mainly sand ants, is your hometown plagued by insects and ants?"
(There is only one change today.) )
