Chapter 673: Where does the good man cross?
"The little monk suddenly felt something just now. Something seemed to be summoning me in that direction." Chan'er clasped her hands together, recited the Buddha's name and said.
Bai Xiaotian and Shen Luo were both shocked when they heard this and looked towards Chan'er.
"In this direction, I remember that Chigu City, the capital of Wuji Kingdom, is right in front of me." Chen Luo took out a classic book and turned to one of the pages, which was painted with a simple map of Wuji Kingdom.
"That's right, it's Akaga Castle." Chen Luo confirmed on the map, and his memory was not wrong.
"Akaya Castle? It seems to have some impression." Chan'er frowned and said.
"You'll know if you go and take a look..." Bai Xiaotian made a gesture to urge the flying boat, and carried the three of them to fly in that direction.
The Wuji Kingdom has a large land area. They must be wary of monsters that may appear around them at any time. They did not fly with all their might and arrived in Chigu City after most of the day.
As its name suggests, Chigu City is built in a huge red valley. The city area is very large, more than ten times larger than Baijun City. The city is crowded with people, which is completely different from other parts of Wuji Country. It looks extremely prosperous. Although it is not as good as Chang'an City, it is not below Jianye.
On both sides of Chigu City are continuous mountains. The rocks here are completely different from other places. They appear dark red in color, looking like rust, and there is a smell of copper rust floating in the air.
"This is a red copper mine! There are so many, just so exposed outside." Chen Luo looked at the mountains on both sides and said in amazement.
"We have business dealings with this Chigu City. I have read some records of Chigu City. The Chigu City of Wuji Kingdom is a famous city in the Western Regions. It is rich in red copper and is more proficient in the art of refining weapons. It is the top of the 36 countries in the Western Regions. Every year, people come to Chigu City to seek magic weapons, which has created the prosperity of this place." Bai Xiaotian said.
Chen Luo heard this and felt happy.
He had a lot of good materials on his body and wanted to refine them into magic weapons. Unfortunately, he did not find a good weapon refiner in Chang'an City. Since this Chigu City is a famous weapon refining city, he should make good use of it.
"Master Jinchan, but here?" Bai Xiaotian asked in a low voice when he saw Chan'er looking at the city in front of him.
"That's right, it's here. I can feel something in this city summoning me, but I can't feel where it is." Chan'er came back to her senses and said.
"Buddhist beads, what do you think?" Chen Luo's heart moved and asked at the Buddhist beads.
"I don't feel anything when I ask me what to do." Buddha beads snorted and said angrily.
Chen Luo frowned slightly. It was not because of the attitude of the Buddhist beads. He thought that when he came to Akagu City, he would soon find what Chan'er was looking for. But looking at the current situation, he probably needed to check the west of the city.
"Since that's the case, let's go into the city first and then search slowly." He said.
So the three of them landed near the city, walked forward, and soon arrived at the foot of Akagu City.
I didn't feel it on the flying boat just now. Now that I came to Chigu City, they also felt that the city wall of Chigu City was extremely tall, with a height of about 150 feet. It was still above Chang'an City. It was made of huge red stones, like a mountain standing in front of it, and people standing at the gate seemed extremely small, like an ant.
Several tall buildings were built on the city wall directly above the city gate, as if several giant beasts were crawling in the air and could pounce on them at any time, and the hearts of people under the city gate were heavy.
The three of them were slightly amazed at the magnificence of the Western Regions city, and then they mingled in the crowd and lined up to enter the city.
Looking at the situation around the city, I soon discovered an abnormality. The city gate seemed to have been repaired everywhere, and the corners of the city wall and the roads near the city gate were repaired.
"Renovation of the city at this time? According to the convention of Wuji Kingdom, it is not a major festival now. Could it be that the city is holding any celebration?" He had read several classics about Wuji Kingdom on the way, and he secretly guessed in his heart.
The queue at the city gate was very fast, and it was the three of them soon.
This time they were not extorted. After paying the entry fee, they quickly entered the city smoothly.
As a big city in the Western Regions, the architectural style of the city naturally continues the usual rough and heavy style of the Western Regions. The streets are covered with very wide red stones, each of which is the size of a tabletop and is very thick. Although the road surface is not as flat as that of the Zhongtu City, the footsteps on it feels extremely stable, and it seems that it will never be damaged or broken.
The city is full of streets, unlike the square blocks like Chang'an City. I just saw it falling in the air. The entire Chigu City is in a radial layout, centered on a towering palace at the center of the city, and roads radiate in all directions.
There were many pedestrians on the streets, not only the natives of Wuji Kingdom, but also many foreign faces. You can even occasionally see one or two Tang Dynasty merchants, and the three of them were not conspicuous.

The entire Wuji Kingdom is a great Buddha country, and the same is true in Chigu City. There are many temples of all sizes, and Buddha statues can often be seen everywhere in the city, some of which are very large and look quite spectacular.
There are also traces of repair in the city, and basically all the houses have been painted with red, white and yellow pigments.
"Hey, is there a celebration here in Akagu City?" Bai Xiaotian said, noting the signs of repairs in the city.
"It should be that, listening to the conversations of the residents in the city, it seems that some Mahayana Dharma Assembly will be held here." Shen Luo listened to the conversations of the residents in the city and said.
"Mahayana Dharma Assembly!" Chan'er's eyes lit up slightly. Although he came to Wuji Kingdom to look for forgotten memories, as a Buddhist disciple, he was still very interested in the Mahayana Buddhist Association in foreign lands and could share Buddhist experiences.
At this moment, a riot came from the front, and a figure stumbled and walked like a madman. The man was wearing a shabby dress and was very dirty all over his body, emitting a stench.
"It's this lunatic again!"
"In a short time, there will be the Mahayana Dharma Assembly. Buddhist monks from all over the country have arrived one after another. Why do you still let this madman walk around the streets?"
The pedestrians around him avoided the plague god, and their faces were full of disgust.
But this madman walked on the street as if no one else was walking, often pulling pedestrians and asking those people what to do, "Where are good people going to pass?"
Chen Luo frowned slightly, and was about to take Chan'er to avoid it, the madman saw Chan'er wearing a monk's robe, and his eyes lit up under his hair, and rushed over and pulled Chan'er's robe.
"Master, how can you ask the good man?" asked the madman.
Chan'er was stunned when asked. He attended countless Dharma Assembly in Jinshan Temple and was well versed in various Buddhist Zen techniques, but he had never encountered this Zen technique and didn't know how to respond.
At this moment, a neat footsteps came from the front, but a group of soldiers ran over quickly.
"It's him, take it away!" A leader in the lead shouted at the madman.
Several soldiers immediately rushed up, grabbed the madman, and dragged it down.
But the madman grabbed Chan'er's sleeve tightly and sniffed, tearing off a large piece of cloth.
"Where are good people who have passed away?"
"Where are good people who have passed away?"
