Chapter 29: The Lonely Mountain Shines on the Western State

Li Xuzong and Jiuyue both had a trace of expectation when they saw the oasis.

Although the scenery of the sand sea is very special, anyone who looks at it for a year and walks for 100,000 miles will no longer be fresh.

Although the aura here is still thin, as the oasis approaches, the vitality increases significantly.

The two walked into the oasis, and everything was so sudden.

A small river of joyful water runs between the desert and the oasis, with endless yellow sand on one side and no edge in sight, and on the other side reeds fluttering, boxwood rows, and green leaves rattling in the wind.

Along the river, there are a few idle wild camels gnawing grass, and a few mandarin ducks are playing in the river.

In the distance, there are many villages scattered on the rolling hills, and further afield are the majestic snow-capped mountains.

The endless yellow sand and the Hanhai Oasis are so sudden and harmonious that nature is sometimes better at rendering and painting than any painter.

Stepping on a small bluestone bridge across the river, a dirt road winds into the distance. On either side are a row of sparse and steep poplars, with branches reaching to the sky, which are so special, and on the side of the road are some vineyards, and in the summer sun, the dense foliage climbs all over the pergola.

Occasionally, you can see a few farmers in kudzu costumes, working in the fields.

From time to time, there are also demon clans passing by in the wind, but people are not surprised, as natural as their own neighbors, but cast more eyes on the two of them.

The two had already developed a tacit understanding for more than a year, and while looking at this beautiful picture, they continued to walk along the path, ignoring the eyes around them.

Until I walked for another day, I saw a big yellow temple standing in the middle of the mountainside in front of me.

The yellow eaves of the hall and the round glazed roof, facing the pure sunlight, exude a golden light against the background of the white snow on the top of the mountain, like a circle of Buddha light, shining on the earth and guarding this piece of pure land.

The two turned their heads and walked towards the temple, the temple has been very old in the near distance, the yellow mud on the temple wall has long fallen off, only the yellow stone is left to be brushed, the temple door is wide open, there are three big characters written on the lintel, and the two of them do not understand.

At this time, they only heard bursts of chanting from the temple, and the two walked directly in, but saw a huge courtyard, and an old mage with a white beard was preaching on the stone platform in the middle.

I couldn't feel the fluctuation of its mana, and there were some good people kneeling around, including monks, herdsmen, and even demon clans, all of whom were extremely pious.

As the two of them entered, a dark cloud drifted from the mountain, and at this time, the old mage suddenly became excited, stood up, chanted words in his mouth, raised his arms above his head, and the wide sleeves of the monk's robe slipped from the old mage's bony arms.

As if the gods heard his prayers, a gust of wind blew through, blowing away the dark clouds, and countless nectar pills rained down around the temple.

Seeing that the miracle was revealed, the surrounding believers became even more fanatical, grabbing the ground with their heads and raising their hands, and praying loudly with the Guru continuously!

Li Xuzong also looked at it in surprise, he didn't know much about Buddhism, but for happiness, everyone wanted to have it, and he recognized this very much.

So he quietly blessed these people, and Princess Jiuyue also watched quietly on the side, there was a trace of surprise when the wind rose, but it was as calm as ever.

After a long time, the Guru blessed the believers one by one, then turned back to the main hall and the crowd dispersed.

Walking past the two of them, they all performed Buddhist salutes, and the two of them returned the salute one by one.

After a while, a small novice came to greet the two, but it was an official word, and the master invited the two to enter the hall to speak.

The two followed the little novice into the main hall, the hall was dedicated to the Buddha, the two of them finished offering incense and saluting, and followed the little novice into a meditation room in the apse.

The old mage sat on the futon, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he beckoned the two to sit down on the futon next to him in official language, and the little novice took the barley tea and left the room.

Li Xuzong stood up and bowed, and asked:

"Disturb the Guru Qingxiu, it turns out that the Guru knows the official language, and the two of us are lost in the yellow sand, dare to ask what the Guru is called?

The old mage smiled kindly and replied:

"The two donors don't have to be polite, the poor monk is enlightened, he is born in Tianyin Temple, he also traveled the world when he was young, and then he met by fate, and presided over temple affairs in this Zhedan Temple.

This place has been out of the territory of the Great Zhou, it is the land of the Qiang country, commonly known as the Yellow Sand Desert, also known as the land of Xizhou, and then thousands of miles to the east is the land of Liangzhou of the Great Zhou. ”

The word generation, that is the elder of Tianyin Temple, in terms of cultivation, there is at least a Yuan Infant level, no wonder you can't feel the fluctuation of mana.

Li Xuzong stood up again and saluted:

"Master, please accept the worship of the juniors, the juniors Li Xuzong is a disciple of the Divine Consciousness Gate Array Peak, this woman is the princess of the Tianhu clan in the Northern Regions, please forgive the seniors for any offenses made by the two of us. ”

"Hehe, Xiaoyou is too worried, my Tianyin Temple is stationed in Xizhou, and it is not the same as your other factions. ”

Wu smiled and waved his hand, asked Li Xuzong to sit down, signaled Jiuyue not to be nervous, and continued:

"In the land of Xizhou, since the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, due to a certain war, it was too fierce and completely destroyed the spiritual root.

Although it has been maintained for endless years in the later period, there is still no restoration, and most of the sects, whether good or evil, are forced to move to other states, so that there is a good and evil conference to avoid the tragedy of Xizhou again.

And my Tianyin Temple, because I am originally in Xizhou, and I major in cause and effect, the first emphasis is on understanding, and I rely on aura relatively little, so I was recommended by all factions in the world to guard Xizhou and educate all souls.

Whether it is a human or a demon, it is a red dust guest in the eyes of my Buddhism, and the two little friends can rest assured that as long as you don't do things that hurt the heavens and reason, no one will entangle your origin. ”

Li Xuzong and Jiuyue were very grateful and thanked them again.

The two of them also asked some cultivation questions, and finally met such an approachable Yuan infant senior, how could they miss it.

In this way, the two of them spent several months in Zhedan Monastery, asking questions and learning Buddhism at the same time.

Some of the apprentices of Master Wuwu came back from doing good deeds from outside, and they also communicated with the two many times to confirm what they had learned. The two of them also participated in the blessing meeting of the altar opened by the Master Wu many times, and slowly felt a trace of blessing in the darkness, and enjoyed the miracle of nectar from heaven.

During this time, Li Xuzong carefully understood the experience he had gained from fighting the demon clan in the desert for more than a year, and received the guidance of the enlightened master, and he already faintly had the direction of knotting.

And the formation has gained even more, because they are both practicing demon handsome all the way, the two of them don't have many means, they all trap the demon handsome with various formations, and then Jiu Yue drives all kinds of magic weapons to kill.

Therefore, the use of formations is becoming more and more handy. And several times he participated in the blessing meeting, that trace of blessing in the dark made him even more blessed to his soul, combining the green willow fairy body method with the formation, and exploring a completely different method of arranging the formation.

And Princess Jiuyue's aura has gradually changed, and it seems that she has gained a lot, and her whole temperament is even more ethereal like a fairy.

It was the end of the year in a blink of an eye, and Li Xuzong and Jiuyue decided to return to the Central Plains.

When he said goodbye to the Master of Enlightenment, the Master took out a letter and said:

"I sent a letter to the nephew of the host of Tianyin Temple, you can take it, you can go to Tianyin Temple in Dagu Mountain to ask for a spiritual talisman to cover the aura for the Jiuyue benefactor.

The Yuan Infant is unrecognizable, and the Yuan Infant above knows my Tianyin Temple Dharma Talisman, and will not be embarrassed by you. ”

Li Xuzong and Jiuyue's biggest headache is the aura of the Jiuyue Demon Clan, and I am really grateful to see Master Wu arrange it like this today.

The two of them said goodbye to the monks, took the letters, left the temple, and no longer walked, and went to the east with their respective swords.

Flying out of the oasis and seeing the yellow sand Gobi again, the two looked at each other and smiled, speeding up, and three hours later they were out of the Gobi.

Seeing the fields, hills, and sparsely scattered mountain villages, I have arrived in Liangzhou, discerning the direction, and I have arrived at the foot of Dagu Mountain in the evening.

Falling sword light, the two found a small town to live in and rest for one night.

The next day, the two of them had already arrived at the foot of Dagu Mountain.

Although the name of Dagu Mountain is lonely, but it is also a group of mountains continuously, the land of Liangzhou is already mountainous, but the mountains of this place are different from the mountains of the Central Plains, the mountains of the Central Plains are more beautiful, the mountains of Xiliang are more lonely, the mountains are covered with snow, the mountains are mostly pines, and the ravines formed by the flood glaciers are also like knives and axes.

Dagu Mountain is the head of the mountains, there are a piece of temples on the mountain, the incense is prosperous, it extends from the foot of the mountain to the half peak, it is the secular temple hall of Tianyin Temple, the people who worship the Buddha and burn incense on the mountain are endless.

However, the place of cultivation is in the back mountain, which is completely different from the front mountain, and it seems so lonely.

Li Xuzong and the two of them threw a sticker, were led all the way to the back mountain Zhike Pavilion, saw the ancient temples here continuously, endlessly, but quiet and peaceful, only the sound of the morning bell occasionally came, it was really a big scene.

Not far from the pavilion, is the temple gate, the simple lintel is written on the four big characters, it is the four words of "Tianyin Ancient Temple".

After a while, I saw a young monk walking quickly and smiling, it was the Yuanqing monk who had a relationship with Li Xuzong in Qingtian Gate.

At that time, both of them were disciples in the Qi cultivation period, and they had killed demons side by side when they were trying in the Hibiscus Realm, and they were already building a foundation at this time.

"Amitabha, I can't imagine that after a few years, Senior Brother Li will be free to go to Deben Temple, it is an honor, it is really a Buddha's fate!"

Yuanqing was very excited, and it was unexpected to reunite with his friends who were thousands of miles away.

"It's fate, I didn't expect that after so many years, we would meet in Tianyin Treasure Temple. ”

Seeing his old friend, Li Xuzong was also very excited, which made him feel like he was back in the Qingtianmen trial.

Li Xuzong introduced Jiuyue to Yuanqing again, and found that Yuanqing was really not surprised, but he was a little stunned about the relationship between the two.

Yuanqing invited the two to the meditation room and chatted with each other for a long time. In the end, Li Xuzong handed over the letter from Master Wu and said:

"Now I want to return to Jiuyuan City with Jiuyue girl, although there is a precious treasure temple in Liangzhou, and the demons get along well, but the rest of the places are different.

I am afraid that the Jiuyue girl will have a conflict with the righteous path along the way, and both sides are not good.

This is a letter from the Master of Enlightenment to the head of your temple to intercede, and he hopes to take care of one or two. ”

When Yuanqing heard this, he took the letter and said:

"Senior Brother Li, don't worry, my Tianyin Temple has cultivated all souls, and I won't treat anyone slowly. Wait a minute, I'll go and ask the abbot for a spiritual talisman. ”

After saying that, the two of them had tea in the meditation room, and they took the letter and left.

About an hour, Yuanqing walked into the room again and again, with a smile on his face, holding a round jade hanging in his hand, and said with a smile:

"Senior Brother Li, it's good luck for you to wait, I just met the head of the gate in the past, and I successfully obtained this talisman for you. Take it. ”

Li Xuzong took the soul shading talisman and handed it to Princess Jiuyue, Jiuyue tried to bring it on his body, and sure enough, Li Xuzong and Yuanqing couldn't feel a little demonic energy, and the things of the fairy family were really magical.
