Volume 70 Mida City
"This Qingfeng Mountain is really majestic, and it is not far behind the famous mountains in Zhongzhou!" Finally, everyone climbed to the top of the mountain, and saw all the mountains at a glance, and suddenly became full of pride.
"It's not too much, but it's a bit remote and unknown to most people. Ou Zhiyang took a deep breath and said.
"There are many temples here, and even the top of the mountain is filled with a sandalwood fragrance, which is worthy of being a holy place for Buddhism!" Xie Junyan sniffed slightly, and a quiet sandalwood fragrance came to his face.
"This should be okay, if you go to the Great Zen Temple, wouldn't it contain Zen everywhere?" Ou Zhiyang quipped, causing everyone to laugh.
After a short pause, the group moved on.
"Mingxuan, thanks to you, now the Xie family's gang has stopped a lot!" Ou Zhiyang said quietly.
Although there is only a thin line between the peak of the capable and the spirit, the gap is obvious, it didn't take much effort, Mingxuan won, and it also made the other disciples of the Xie family know Mingxuan's extraordinary strength, and suddenly became silent, especially Xie Ziqing, in this martial arts world, the level of martial arts is enough to represent a lot of things, especially Mingxuan is the same age as them, but the strength is higher, which makes her very depressed, and she doesn't dare to trouble Mingxuan anymore.
"When fighting, I found that Xie Junlong's body faintly had a flash of spiritual power, I was afraid that the breakthrough was imminent, why did you choose to travel at this time, aren't you afraid of accidents?" Ming Xuan asked curiously, but at this time, the best way to deal with it is to stay at home and wait quietly for a breakthrough, so that the clansmen can arrange to protect the Fa, Chen Fanghu is like this, if he travels so rashly, in case he encounters an opportunity to break through on the way, it will be very dangerous, Ming Xuan is like this, when he breaks through, he will die for a lifetime, if someone protects the Fa, he will definitely be able to reduce the risk a lot.
"You don't know this, although Xie Junlong is a disciple of the Xie family, but he is quite close to the Buddhist family, he was once accepted as an apprentice by the senior monks of the Great Chan Temple, and taught for three years, so most of his martial arts are Buddhist martial arts. "Ou Zhiyang is quite familiar with them, so he knows a lot.
"I see!" Ming Xuan understood.
"At the Nine Great Sects Disciple Exchange Conference, the two brothers worked together to shine in the Huang Group and the Xuan Group, winning the second and third places respectively, and they were in the limelight for a while, and they saved face for the Xie clan, of course, if you were there, the situation might be different. "The grand scene of that year, Ou Zhiyang is still vivid.
"There are no ifs in life, and I am very content to survive that crisis. "In that battle, all the sects suffered heavy casualties, and countless elite disciples died, which can be said to be the biggest loss suffered by the major sects in recent years.
"Alas, too, it was precisely because of that incident that the Nine Great Sect Disciple Exchange Conference was suspended. Ou Zhiyang said with regret, his ranking was also very impressive that year, and in the end he was defeated by Xie Junyan.
"Oh, by the way, who were the first places in the four groups of Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang back then?" Ming Xuan asked curiously, for a long time, he really didn't deliberately care about this matter.
"The first in the Heavenly Group is the Xuanyin Monk of the Leiyin Temple, he was already a master of the Spirit at that time, and he is extremely strong; the first in the Earth Group is your rival Yao Shaomin, I won't say more, the first in the Xuan Group is our disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect, Senior Brother Mingrui, and the first in the Huang Group, you will meet soon, because he is the Lingdong monk of the Great Chan Temple, he is still Xie Junlong's senior brother, I don't know who is stronger in your battle with him?" Ou Zhiyang thought excitedly.
"It's hard to say, they're all very strong, and I'm just lucky enough to break through the spirit first. "If it weren't for the three years of penance in the Beast Realm, Ming Xuan really didn't dare to guarantee that he would be much stronger than them, and it would be very difficult to even enter the top five.
"Do you think that whoever wants to break through first can break through first, this is the result of accumulating strength to a certain extent, not to mention that breaking through the spirit is a life and death experience, if you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent, is it a simple matter?" Ou Zhiyang said angrily, when he broke through back then, if it wasn't for the master who carefully protected the Dharma on the side, I was afraid that it would not be so smooth.
Ou Zhiyang said this, Ming Xuan was speechless, and smiled slightly, the three years of penance in the territory of the beast, several years of life and death, how could Ou Zhiyang understand, because he was already at the peak of the capable at that time, and the breakthrough was imminent, so he did not enter the territory of the beast, it was difficult to understand the suffering, and it was precisely because of this that Ming Xuan's strength had improved by leaps and bounds in the past three years, and he was able to break through the spirit in one fell swoop soon after he came out, and even directly reached the middle stage of the first order of the spirit person.
A group of people talked and talked, time always passed very fast, and before they knew it, everyone crossed Qingfeng Mountain and Taiyu Mountain, and Mida City was close at hand.
Compared with other famous cities in Zhongzhou, Mida City looks a little cold, no characteristics, there is no difference from ordinary cities, the city gate does not seem so majestic, and even looks very small against the backdrop of two towering mountains, but after entering the city, a breath of Buddhism comes to the face, there are pious pilgrims from all over Zhongzhou who come to incense, and there are even many Buddhist disciples shuttling among them, and most of the shops are buying and selling things related to Buddhism, compared to the hustle and bustle of other cities, it seems to be much quieter here, although it is also very lively, but very few people shout loudly, there is a sense of peace and tranquility, I think it is deeply infected by the Great Zen Temple.
"The feeling here is similar to that of Los Angeles, and it has a strong Buddhist atmosphere. Ou Zhiyang smiled and said.
"Well, it does feel the same, I'm surprised, this Leiyin Temple is in the Mida Mountain. And there is another Mida City next to this Great Zen Temple, what is the relationship between the two?" Ming Xuan asked curiously.
"You don't know this, Leiyin Temple and Dachan Temple are of the same origin, it is said that their founder is a pair of brothers, Buddhism is profound, martial arts have also reached the peak, but the two of them have some differences in the views of Buddhism, often argue about this, no one can convince anyone, and finally in order to confirm the Buddha in their hearts, they founded Leiyin Temple and Dachan Temple respectively, due to their own strong strength, both schools have developed very well, and gradually become Buddhist giants, Rao is so, their argument did not end there, even now, the two factions will regularly hold Dharma conferences, promote their own Buddhism, and Mida is the provincial name of Amitabha BuddhaIt has this special meaning with Buddhism, so it is not surprising that one named it in the city and the other in the mountain. "Xie Junlong is also half a Buddhist disciple, so he has a deep understanding of this relationship.
"What about the inheritance of thousands of years, and the profundity of Buddhism, in the end, there is no resentment, and I have not let go until now. Xie Ziqing disagreed.
Greed and hatred are the three precepts of Buddhism, and the two Buddhist giants have argued for Buddhism all their lives, and now future generations are still arguing about it, in Xie Ziqing's view, it is a crime.
"Dialectics is to confirm what you think and learn in your heart, it is not a hate, but it can promote each other's growth and improvement, just like our Taoists, although we advocate Taoism naturally, but there will also be learning and confirmation, in your family, there must be some exquisiteness, but the disciples in the clan will also have arguments and contests, and the truth is the same. Ming Xuan said with a light smile, disagreeing with her opinion.
"Although Brother Gu is not a disciple of Buddhism, his thoughts are quite consistent with the thoughts of Buddhism. Zhang Junyan couldn't help but quip, everyone laughed, entered Mida City together, and eliminated this controversy.
Mida City is permeated with a strong Buddhist atmosphere everywhere, infected by Buddhist thoughts, the people in the city seem to be very kind, soft-spoken, slow and reasonable, even the shouting of merchants along the way is extraordinarily soft, there is no sense of noise, it can be seen that the influence of the Great Zen Temple here is deep.
"In such an environment, even the most impetuous person will calm down, it is really a good place to meditate!" Ou Zhiyang said with a sigh, even after a person like him who jumped out came here, he became a lot more stable.
"Buddhism focuses on cultivating the mind, and the people in the city are more or less infected, even if they don't believe in Buddhism, there are Buddha statues at home, and in such an atmosphere, everyone has a compassionate heart and has no quarrel with the world, so there are few disputes in the city, and they are happy. Xie Junlong said with emotion, he has been here for a lot of time, but he rarely sees people in the city have disputes.
"Well, not to mention the people who live here, most of the people who come here come to worship in the Great Zen Temple, are all people who believe in Buddhism, and the children of the Buddhist family will often come to preach Buddhism, infecting each other, so as to make Buddhism more promoted. Ming Xuan carefully compared Los Angeles and Mida City in his heart, and felt that there was no difference between the two cities at all.
"I don't care about what you say, what I care about most is that since this Mida City is full of people who believe in Buddhism, is it true that everyone eats fasting and fasting, then I have to starve to death?" Ou Zhiyang said with a sad face, people are discussing the pursuit of faith, but he is concerned about eating, drinking, and Lazar, which is not at the same level at all.
"Brother Ou is too worried, although the people in the city believe in Buddhism, but wine and meat are still not taboo, and like other places, there are many restaurants in the city, and wine and meat are also served as usual. Xie Junlong said with a smile, dispelling Ou Zhiyang's doubts,
"Then what are we delaying here? Hurry up, this time is the time to eat, I'm starving to death!" As soon as he heard that there was wine and meat, Ou Zhiyang was overjoyed and began to urge everyone to move forward.
