The East China Sea is located in the eastern part of the Chu State, and the sea area is vast, and the border alone is connected to several countries of different sizes, such as the Chu State, the Southern State, and the Northern Han State. This is only Zhang Yifan's knowledge, as for whether there are other countries or land connected to the East China Sea, he does not know, but he guesses that there must be.

No one knows how big the East China Sea is, but the entire East China Sea is so big that people only call the sea areas adjacent to these countries the East China Sea, and the sea areas outside the East China Sea are called the Hopeless Sea.

According to the records in the classics, there was once a good thing that the powerful monk in order to measure how big the hopeless sea was, brought enough spirit stones, and flew eastward, flying for more than a few months and still did not see the other side, the spirit stones on his body were not enough, so he had no choice but to return.

Fortunately, his flying magic weapon has a very stealth effect, so he was able to escape the pursuit of the demon beasts in the sea, and finally came back without danger. According to the mighty monk himself, it flew at least a million miles, but it was still a sea.

So how big is the Hopeless Sea, and where is the other side, no one can say clearly, at least Zhang Yifan has not found the answer from many classics.

He only knew that the East China Sea alone was very large, with a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, and the territory of Chu was not as good as eleven compared to it.

The larger the territory, the more abundant the resources. There are countless treasures in the East China Sea, and the monsters in the sea seem to be endless. These superior conditions attract a large number of monks from all over the world to come to the East China Sea to experience treasure hunting and killing demons, and every year the monks obtain countless demon beast materials and heavenly treasures from the East China Sea.

While enjoying abundant resources, the countries around the coast of the East China Sea are often attacked by monsters in the sea. There are many countries recorded in the classics that have been destroyed due to the tide of beasts in the East China Sea, and there are even more that have been slaughtered by demon beasts, and the brutality of Haizhou demon beasts can be seen.

But among them, the state of Chu is not included in the destroyed country, because the Qingshan Temple in Haizhou and Qiongzhou has been guarded.

Unlike Lingzhou, which only faces an inland sea extending from the East China Sea, there are not many monsters in the sea that it encounters. At the same time, Haizhou and Qiongzhou, which border Lingzhou, need to face the entire East China Sea and the Inland Sea, and there will be demon beasts on land almost every day.

Therefore, the coastal areas of the two states of Chu are generally not peaceful, but because of the existence of Qingshan Temple, the invasion of demon beasts is basically dangerous, and it has not been destroyed and slaughtered.

Speaking of Qingshan Temple, Zhang Yifan was actually very curious.

Qingshan Temple is a Buddhist sect, I don't know how many years it has existed, it is a very ancient sect, even more than the Zhenji Gate, the head of the six major sects, has existed for a long time.

Qingshan Temple is said to have a history of nearly 10,000 years, and has existed since the beginning of the Yuan calendar, and has been standing in the eastern part of the Chu State, which has only existed for hundreds of years. Zhang Yifan only knew that Qingshan Temple had always existed before the existence of the Six Great Sects, and it had never been destroyed.

Although Qingshan Temple is already a 10,000-year-old sect, the strength of the sect has always been a mystery.

As for the strength of Qingshan Temple, although it was ranked in the middle of the six major sects by some monks in the Chu State's immortal cultivation realm, it was not as good as the True Pole Sect and the Lihuo Sect, but it had never been truly confirmed. No one knows how many monks there are in Qingshan Temple, and how many high-ranking monks there are in the sect.

Because Qingshan Temple has never liked to be competitive, its reputation has not been obvious, and most of the people who have come out to practice are only Buddhist cultivation in the foundation building period of the Qi refining period, which does not represent the true strength of a sect.

And because Qingshan Temple is very low-key and mysterious, Zhang Yifan didn't get much news, and only learned some information about Qingshan Temple from some classics.

Aoyamaji Temple is divided into South Temple and North Temple. The North Temple is located in Haizhou and was established in Haizhou thousands of years ago by the South Temple.

The Buddhist cultivation of the North Temple pays attention to entering the WTO, often entering the WTO to cross people, subduing demons, subduing demons, and even helping ordinary people to do things to calm disasters, accumulate merits, and develop believers.

Therefore, most of the people in Haizhou believe in Buddhism, and there are many Buddhist believers. There are many large and small temples in the world of Haizhou, and the status of monks is very high, which is rare in Chu State, where Taoism is the state religion, and this grand scene is only Haizhou.

The South Temple is located in Qiongzhou, paying attention to dust, isolating from the world, and not showing sainthood among the people, so its reputation is not obvious. But the status of the South Temple is no smaller than that of the North Temple, and it silently resists the kraken that intrudes on the entire Qiongzhou alone.

The Qingshan Temple that people in the world generally refers to the North Temple, and there are very few people who know the South Temple. But for the world of cultivating immortals, the prestige of the South Temple is far better than that of the North Temple, because the South Temple is the place where the core monks of Qingshan Temple practice, and most of the high-level Buddhist cultivation is from the South Temple.

But the two temples are one family, and they are the same. The North Temple is the place where the disciples of Aoyama Temple enter the world to practice, and the South Temple is the place where the disciples of Aoyama Temple are born and practice. Buddhism can get the Buddha fruit with one entry and one exit, and two in and two out will prove the Buddha baby and achieve the golden body.

Therefore, one south and one north complement each other, and in order to suppress the Kraken, Qingshan Temple adopted two completely different or even opposite methods.

In Haizhou, Qingshan Temple invited all kinds of monks and loose cultivators to establish a stronghold here to deal with the East China Sea Siren, and the disciples of Qingshan Temple entered the world and practiced in Haizhou.

In Qiongzhou, Qingshan Temple chose to resist the Kraken infestation alone, and they did not welcome monks from other sects to come here to disturb their retreat. Fortunately, Qiongzhou is a small area, and the two sides of the southwest are facing the natural barrier of the abyss of death, and only a short section of the east side faces the East China Sea, so the pressure is not too great.

Although the two states are both spheres of influence of Qingshan Temple, the difference is quite large, Haizhou can be regarded as one of the richest states in Chu State, while Qiongzhou is one of the poorest states.

Whether it is for the mortal world or the immortal cultivation world, Haizhou is very wealthy. Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the sea to eat the sea, every year Haizhou provides a large amount of fish and salt to Chu and the surrounding countries, and the immortal cultivation world has obtained countless demon beast materials and spiritual stones in the sea from Haizhou.

Qiongzhou, on the other hand, has a small population and relatively few resources due to weather and geographical factors, so this state is very poor and a place of asceticism.

Zhang Yifan is going to the East China Sea on the Haizhou side this time.

Although he has always heard of Haizhou, Zhang Yifan has never been to Haizhou and is not familiar with Haizhou.

Therefore, after entering the boundary of Haizhou, Zhang Yifan was not in a hurry, but slowly appreciated the customs of Haizhou like a tourist.

Haizhou's cuisine is very different from other states, most of them are seafood, and pay attention to the umami of the food itself, and do not use much seasoning, which makes Zhang Yifan, who grew up in the land of fish and rice, really can't get used to Haizhou's real things, and has some regrets in his heart. However, the melons and fruits in this state are quite sweet, and they have a unique flavor to eat.

The scenery of Haizhou has a special feeling, the Buddhist atmosphere is strong, you can see the temple Foshan everywhere, everyone is kind to the Buddha, so that Zhang Yifan praised, along the way I saw a lot of Buddhism Wenhua, and had a new understanding of Buddhism.

According to the previous plan, Zhang Yifan planned to go to Qingshan City, the state capital of Haizhou, first.

Qingshan City is built by Qingshan Temple to resist the Kraken, it is the largest city in Haizhou, and it is also a big city in the entire Chu State, with a radius of two or three hundred miles and only slightly inferior to the capital of Chu State.

Qingshan North Temple is also located in Qingshan City, there is a Qingshan Giant Buddha nearly 300 zhang high in the temple, majestic extremely, facing the East China Sea, deterring the demon beasts in the sea dare not act rashly.

Zhang Yifan saw the majestic and majestic Qingshan Buddha far away outside the city, the more he looked at it, the more mysterious it became, he felt something different, he was in awe, and the great power of mortals was admirable.

From the classics, he knew that this big Buddha was cast by mortals with mortal bodies thousands of years ago. This Buddha took a hundred years, spent countless stones and mortal blood and sweat to build, and finally descended a miracle, attracting Qingshan Temple to open a temple here, guarding the water and soil of Haizhou.

After thousands of years of wind and rain, the Buddha is still like the heart, and the quiet atmosphere exuded by it makes people feel peaceful.

Zhang Yifan looked at the Buddha for a long time, and the three Miaohua lotus flowers in the sea slowly rotated, exuding a bright white light, which gradually immersed him in a mysterious state.

The inexplicable Zhang Yifan began to recite the Nine Wonderful Lotus Sutra.

Since he began to comprehend the fourth wonder after comprehending the third wonder, there has been no progress at all, and the meaning of the fourth wonder of the Nine Wonders Lotus Flower is very obscure, and Zhang Yifan doesn't know its meaning at all. And the more he recited, the more irritated he became, and he felt a sense of disgust, and he never knew what to do. So Zhang Yifan hasn't recited the Nine Wonderful Lotus Sutra for a long time.

At this moment, he unconsciously began to recite the Nine Miao Lotus Sutra, and gradually understood the meaning of the Sutra, which was not so obscure.

As if echoing with Zhang Yifan, the Qingshan Giant Buddha began to slowly emit a golden Buddha light, the Buddha light is very light, but very peaceful, making people feel as comfortable as a spring breeze. Some Buddhists in Qingshan City were overjoyed and began to recite Buddhist scriptures.

And some Buddhist cultivators are even more sideways, I don't know why this Qingshan Giant Buddha suddenly showed miracles, knowing that the opportunity could not be lost, and hurriedly meditated.

At the head of Qingshan Temple, the faces of the three Buddhas are different, and they are communicating something.

"Senior Brother Presiding, this great Buddha suddenly descended on a miracle, and I have consulted Master Kongzhi. ”

"Senior Brother Huitong, does the senior uncle have any instructions?"

"Uncle Shi said that there are Buddhist masters who are comprehending the Dharma and echoing the Buddha, so there are miracles coming down, so I don't need to panic, this is a blessing and not a curse. ”

"I don't know which master can cause the miracle of the Great Buddha, the little monk really wants to see it, isn't it the predecessor of the South Temple who came here to do the second practice?"

"It's possible for Senior Brother Hui to say, but the seniors who are the second cultivators generally don't like to be disturbed, so let's not bother. In case the seniors are delayed, it will not be a wonderful thing. ”

"Yes, Senior Brother Presiding. ”

"However, if the seniors come to my North Temple as a guest, we must not be lazy. Generally, the predecessors who do the second practice are the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Jindan period, and as long as they are one step closer, they can cultivate the light of the Buddha with them, condense the Buddha baby, and become the great power of the Yuan Infant Period. At that time, as long as the seniors give us a little guidance, we will be of infinite use. ”

"What Senior Brother said is extremely true, we will not slack off. ”

......

At the top of the Giant Buddha of Qingshan, an old monk with a white beard is entering meditation, and the light emitted by his body is integrated with the Buddha.

After about three days and three nights, the light of the Buddha dissipated, and the old monk opened his eyes from the meditation.

"It's finally over, I don't know which monk is here to realize the Buddha, and it actually led the Buddha to show his god for three days, presumably the Buddhist comprehension is unfathomable, and I really want to see it. The old monk muttered to himself.

Then his mouth sounded slightly, and a voice was heard in the ears of the Buddhist monks who had practiced Buddhism to a certain level within a hundred miles: "The poor monk asked, welcome the monk to my Qingshan City, can you come to the temple to talk about it, ask for Buddhism, welcome." ”

This is a kind of Buddhist language and magic skin of empty comprehension, but it can transmit sound within 100 miles, which is very magical.

But after waiting for a long time and not getting a response, Kongwen sighed, and the other party seemed unwilling to be disturbed, so he gave up.

In fact, this is a misunderstanding, Zhang Yifan didn't know about its transmission at all, so it was naturally impossible to come over. Because Zhang Yifan was outside Qingshan City at this time, more than 100 miles away from the Qingshan Giant Buddha, he naturally couldn't hear his transmission. But even if Zhang Yifan heard it, he wouldn't go over, he wasn't a monk at all, let alone asking for Buddhism.

After an epiphany, Zhang Yifan had a deep understanding of the fourth wonder of the Nine Miao Lotus Sutra, although he did not give birth to the Miaohua Lotus, but he felt that it was not too far away, and the rest was only a matter of time.

At this time, his heart was quite calm, and the feeling of devouring and killing because of the same element demon in his heart became weaker, and at the same time, he didn't have the impulse to make him move when he looked at the demon man, and it became very dull.

Zhang Yifan knew that this was the suppression of the Nine Miao Lotus Sutra on the homogeneous demon hidden in his body. At least for now, he didn't have to worry about the sudden outbreak of the Homogenization Demon.

Packing up his mood, Zhang Yifan changed his appearance and entered Qingshan City.

Qingshan City is very large, so big that Zhang Yifan walked around the city as a mortal for several days without finishing it. When visiting Qingshan City, Zhang Yifan seemed to have found the feeling of visiting Dujiang City again. Among the mortals, there were a mixture of fish and dragons, and Zhang Yifan disguised himself as a mortal with no magic power.

Among these mortals, there are martial arts masters, robbers and thieves, and even some old monks in the Qi refining period, who probably feel that there is no hope of cultivating immortals, so they hide in the mortal world and fall at ease.

It's just that these people's cultivation is much lower than Zhang Yifan's, so naturally there is no him who is also an immortal cultivator in disguise.

These days, Zhang Yifan has incarnated as Zhang Shenzhuo, and he has intervened in the foreseen injustices, which has led to the turmoil in Qingshan City. The people in the rivers and lakes thought that the four elephant gods of the six doors had been dispatched again, and for a while, there was a lot of noise in the rivers and lakes.

Zhang Yifan is too addicted to God, and with his current body method and simplifying the complex, it is as easy as finding out for those first-class masters in the mortal world.

A few days later, Zhang Yifan stopped, and he gained a lot after releasing his nature in the past few days, the whole person was much more cheerful, and his breath became more and more calm, unlike before, he always had a lot of things on his mind, and his heart became more and more open-minded.

Zhang Yifan began to think about his next plan.

Zhang Yifan didn't know anyone in Qingshan Temple, so he just walked around Qingshan City, and didn't visit the temple, and his identity should not be exposed at this time.

Long before entering the city, he inquired clearly, this Qingshan City has the largest fang market in Haizhou, which is owned by Qingshan Temple, all the monks in the face, and there are many kinds of things in it, he is going to go in and see if he can find the treasures he needs.
