Leading the big green donkey, Wang Chen strolled on the streets of Chituo City.
After night falls, every household hangs up lotus lanterns, and the soft lights illuminate the streets, which also casts a layer of holy gauze over the rough-looking city, adding a bit of poetic flavor.
It makes people's mood become peaceful and peaceful unconsciously.
Even the tough-tempered Sand People slowed down their pace and restrained their rude and evil looks when they arrived here.
Chituo City is neither too small nor too big. There are only two or three main streets in the city, and most of the buildings are made of rocks.
Only the Buddhist temples scattered in the city are particularly gorgeous and spectacular.
With the guidance of passers-by, Wang Chen successfully found the Golden Buddha Temple in the city.
The Golden Buddha Temple is the largest temple in Chituo City and has an exquisite nine-story pagoda.
The pagoda represents the level of the temple. Buddhism has strict regulations in this regard and does not allow any transgression.
The teleportation array is in the Golden Buddha Temple.
However, Wang Chen was told by the gatekeeper Zhike that he would have to come back tomorrow morning.
The Golden Buddha Temple does not entertain foreign guests at night.
Wang Chen didn't pay attention, and immediately turned around and left, finding an inn nearby to stay.
After settling down, he went to a nearby pub.
There's nothing special about this tavern, and it's not very big in general, but the business is pretty good. When Wang Chen came over, there was almost no room left.
Fortunately for Wang Chen, he was lucky. One of the guests had just left after having a good meal, so a table was left vacant.
After Wang Chen sat down, he called the waiter over and ordered a few signature dishes.
As a result, before the food was served, several monks appeared in the tavern, glanced around, and then walked towards him.
"This fellow Taoist has invited you."
One of the monks saluted Wang Chen and said, "Can we share a table?"
Wang Chen nodded: "Okay."
"Thank you."
This group of new monks took up all the empty seats.
"I am Xu Yingyi of Canglan Sect."
The monk just now was sitting next to Wang Chen and asked with a smile: "May I ask your name?"
Wang Chen did not hide anything: "Wang Chen of the Xihai Sect."
As soon as he finished speaking, strange looks suddenly came from around him.
Xihaizong!
"It turns out to be a fellow Taoist from the Xihai Sect!"
Xu Yingyi's expression became solemn: "I was offended."
Although Canglan Sect is also a large-scale immortal sect, it is not at the same level as Xihai Sect.
Even if their cultivation levels were similar, Xu Yingyi would still be inferior to Wang Chen.
As for the expressions of other people, that's much more interesting.
Wang Chen is too young.
No one expected that Xihaizong would send such a young disciple to attend the Lingshan Dharma Ceremony.
Aren't you afraid that the Buddhists in the Western Regions will be embarrassed and angry?
Wang Chen ignored the glances from all around and said with a smile, "Senior Brother Xu is serious."
The Xihai Sect and the Canglan Sect are separated by hundreds of thousands of miles to the west and east. Although there is no close friendship, they all belong to the same lineage, and it is normal for them to give each other some face.
Wang Chen can't be such a chicken.
Xu Yingyi laughed: "Senior Brother Wang, I will treat you to this meal that night, but please don't be polite to me!"
He called the waiter over and ordered a table full of dishes. Whatever was expensive would be brought to the table.
Quite proud.
However, the consumption level in Chituo City is quite high, especially the price of immortal food and spiritual food is several times that of ordinary immortal cities.
I don’t know if it’s because of the lack of resources or because the boss caught them, “outsiders,” butchering pigs.
It has not been open for three years, but it has been open for three years. Wang Chen, the sect representatives who went to Lingshan to watch the ceremony, really come here every three years.
They met by chance, and there was no grudge or conflict of interest. Therefore, after drinking for three times, Wang Chen became familiar with Xu Yingyi and others.
To be honest, Wang Chen hasn't met many disciples from other sects before, so this time he has gained more experience.
Unlike Wang Chen who went alone, Xu Yingyi was not the only envoy sent by the Canglan Sect to watch the ceremony. The latter was accompanied by four companions, which was considered a small team.
According to Xu Yingyi, the number of envoys from other sects ranges from a dozen to four or five.
There is really no such thing as Xihaizong.
On this topic, Xu Yingyi stopped talking and did not discuss it in depth.
He was smooth and eloquent. He chatted and laughed with Wang Chen and told some interesting anecdotes. There was no silence from the beginning to the end.
The most important thing is that this is not the first time that Xu Yingyi has served as the sect's ceremonial envoy.
He has made this trip three times!
This year is the fourth time.
Therefore, Xu Yingyi is a real old horse who knows the way, and it was through his introduction that Wang Chen found out that the teleportation array at the Golden Buddha Temple was not open every day, and there were also requirements on the number of people.
In other words, there are too few people renting the teleportation array, so you have to wait until everyone is there, or buy out other people's spots.
Otherwise, just climb the Flame Mountain by yourself!
"The Flame Mountain is a dangerous place."
Xu Yingyi said solemnly: "It is extremely difficult to survive the golden elixir, so don't take any risks!"
Of course Wang Chen would not do anything stupid.
He was a little curious: "So besides the teleportation array, is there no other way to go?"
"There is a thousand-year-old road underground in Chituo City that leads to the western foot of the Flame Mountain."
Xu Yingyi explained: "But we can't go down this road."
Wang Chen nodded: "That's it."
After the meal, the two parties exchanged talisman letters, and then Wang Chen returned to the inn where he stayed.
The next morning, Wang Chen went to the Golden Buddha Temple again.
This time he entered the temple, but was told that the teleportation array could not be opened temporarily.
Need to wait a few days.
Wang Chen had no choice but to continue living in the city.
As a result, in the next few days, more and more Taoist monks appeared in Chituo City.
He met Xu Yingyi several more times.
This Canglan Sect monk's communication skills were probably maxed out, and more and more monks gathered around him.
On the fourth day after Wang Chen arrived in Chituo City, the teleportation array at the Golden Buddha Temple was finally activated.
Wang Chen paid a high price of three hundred spirits in exchange for a teleportation quota.
Although this expense can be reimbursed, he still feels a little painful - it's so shameful!
You must know that the transmission distance of the Golden Buddha Temple's formation is not far, not even tens of thousands of miles, let alone tens of thousands of miles.
Yet charging such a high fee.
The other sect monks also cursed, but there was nothing they could do.
However, the monks from the Golden Buddha Temple were very efficient in their work after collecting the money. They took Wang Chen and others to a side hall, and then activated the teleportation formation.
After a period of dizziness, when Wang Chen's vision returned to normal, he found himself in the center of a huge square, with a majestic Buddhist temple in front of him, rolling mountains in the distance, and a pleasant scenery of lush greenery.
The aura of the surrounding world is already at a normal level!
