What was the purpose of the Mahalando Temple in robbing Gan Ningshuang?
What does they have to do with the guardian angel hidden behind the scenes?
How does this relate to the mystery of the thousand-year self-immolation of the saint of the Five Immortals Sect?
Feng Ziyue thought about these questions repeatedly. He and Qi Xiaodie now pretended to be followers of Monk Kudu, mixed in with the accompanying monks, passed through Jiuzi Mountain, and headed for Shendu City.
Fortunately, among the sects of monks in the south, many do not need to shave their heads and take ordination, so he does not stand out among them among them.
This time, we were heading to Shendu City to participate in a great ritual. Naturally, we couldn't take the secret path in the mountain, so Kudu took more than thirty disciples with him to climb Jiuzi Mountain.
Fortunately, the mountain road has been repaired and is no longer as rough and difficult as it was hundreds of years ago.
Before entering the mountain, some disciples in charge distributed miasma-avoiding medicine. It was a kind of black pill with a strange aroma. Feng Ziyue swallowed it casually, but there was no reaction. He was already an innate master and could not resist external evil.
The invasion and miasma had no effect on him originally, but after Qi Xiaodie took the medicine, his mind was clear and he felt much better.
The mountains are covered with misty purple smoke. According to Kudu, these are the places where miasma is formed.
"Master Feng, I'm not boasting. If it weren't for our Mahalando Temple donating this miasma-avoiding medicine, I'm afraid Miao and the six Lingnan prefectures wouldn't be as prosperous as they are today - I hope Master Feng will see this kindness.
Above all, please don’t make things too difficult for our temple..."
Of course Kudu knew that Feng Ziyue had nothing to do and went to Miao territory for the sake of the woman in the great ceremony, that is, to cause trouble for the Dalando Temple.
He is a congenital master, and no one can stop him when he wants to cause trouble. Now Kudu has been caught by him and becomes a shield. When trouble breaks out, the Mahalando Temple will have no choice but to let this congenital master lead his enemies into the ritual.
The abbot of a small branch temple is likely to become a scapegoat.
So he had a sad face all day long, and gave many words of advice, hoping that Feng Ziyue would not go too far.
"It really can't be done... just grab the woman and run away..."
Kudu murmured in his heart, hoping that Feng Ziyue could keep a low profile and not make the incident too serious.
Feng Ziyue smiled indifferently. The Five Immortals Sect was so old that even the abbot of Beilanda Temple didn't know about it. He only thought that this medicine to avoid miasma was originated from the Great Landa Temple, but he didn't know that there were people before.
The first-generation saint of the Five Immortals Sect who sacrificed herself for self-immolation in exchange for this method of practicing medicine to help the world and save people's lives.
Thinking of this strange woman, Feng Ziyue couldn't help but admire her.
In order to save the people of the tribe, he would not hesitate to sacrifice himself in the future. Such a big sacrifice and decisive courage is not something ordinary people can have.
Unfortunately, according to the clues now known, this kind of sacrifice has been secretly used to achieve some ulterior purpose.
The self-immolation of saints in this generation is definitely not the result of the mental illness of the master who taught the art in the past. Judging from the careful planning over the years, there must be something hidden behind this self-immolation.
Moreover, this great ceremony in Mahalanda Temple came very strangely.
According to Kudu, the ritual ceremony at the Mahalando Temple was originally held once every ten years, which was considered a major event in Miaojiang Shendu City. However, this ritual ceremony was held temporarily, which was quite strange.
"Has this kind of temporary ritual ceremony been held before?" Feng Ziyue pondered for a long time, then turned to ask Kudu.
He and Qi Xiaodie were sitting on the carriage of Kudu, but they squeezed the great abbot aside. The monks who originally followed could only follow the carriage on foot, but they were naturally an exception.
Kudu nodded, "It's not that there are no temporary Dharma gatherings, but it's either because of the change of host of the Mahalanda Temple, or after some natural disaster, a blessing Dharma assembly, like this one, has no reason at all. It's really never happened before.
Had……"
Therefore, there are also rumors circulating that Master Longbeard of Mahalanda Temple is old and in poor health, and this ritual is to select a successor.
However, Kudu sneered at this kind of thing. Master Longbeard was at the peak of martial arts and had profound cultivation. He was only in his seventies now. How could he be in poor health and need to find a successor?
Generally speaking, the higher a warrior's cultivation level, the longer his lifespan.
In the Martial Master realm, living to be a hundred years old is not a big problem at all; but in the innate realm, living to be two to three hundred years old is also extremely normal.
According to Kudu's news, the key figures in this ritual were the two women brought back by those who entered the secret path, but he didn't know exactly what was going on.
This mystery could not be answered for the time being, so Feng Ziyue's focus turned to the strength of Mahalando Temple.
The two of them who were able to snatch Gan Ningshuang from Gongyang Xi's hands, even though they were bruised and bruised by his sword, were at least innate masters. But they didn't know that the two of them were in the Great Landa Temple - or that they were one with the Great Landa Temple.
What is your status among the behind-the-scenes group?
Unfortunately, what Kudu knew was only the general situation of Mahalanda Temple.
"The Master is the pinnacle of Martial Lords. The leader of the other halls, there are about four or five Martial Lords - innate masters. Legend has it that there is an old living Buddha from our ancestors, but... I have never seen him."
If there is only one innate master in Mahalando Temple, Feng Ziyue will naturally not take it to heart.
With his current strength, it can be said that if you look at the Tianwu Continent, except for a few people such as Chu Kuangren and Long Buyang, he is not afraid of any opponent at all. Even if the opponent has entered the innate realm, as long as he has not reached the sixth innate level or above, he will be killed.
It’s also a piece of cake.
As for Wu Zun, he doesn't even care about it now.
I wonder if there is a real master behind the Mahalanda Temple.
Although Feng Ziyue was confident, he still tried his best to fight a lion against a rabbit, so he did not underestimate his opponents and collected as much information as possible about them. Unfortunately, the key information could only be obtained at the Mahalando Temple.
Monk Kudu is very cooperative. He answers whatever is asked. He is extremely well-behaved. When he has nothing to ask him, he just flatters him and flatters him constantly. It is no wonder that he can become the abbot of Beilanduo Temple.
.
"Master Feng, Jiuzi Mountain has nine continuous peaks. After passing the peak in front, you have reached the territory of Miao territory. The miasma in Miao territory is much more severe than that in this mountain. Sir, you are invincible, so naturally you are not afraid, but this
Miss Qi, you must be careful, otherwise you will take another miasma-avoiding pill?"
Qi Xiaodie smiled slightly and politely refused.
These miasma-avoiding pills are not jelly beans, so there are plenty of them to eat. She is the reincarnation of a seventh-level demon beast. Although she is not strong, she has a special constitution, and the impact of miasma on her is not that great.
"Is the Miao territory ahead? How far is it from here to Shendu City?"
Feng Ziyue raised his eyes and saw that there was indeed a vast plain in front of him, but it was all covered by dense purple mist. It seemed that this miasma was really powerful. This purple mist miasma blocked his sight, and he could not see the outline of Shendu City. .
Miao territory is also a plain, but there are many swamps in it, and the weather is hot. It is surrounded by mountains, and the swamp air rises and cannot be dispersed. In the end, such a large area of miasma is formed. People and animals will suffer if they enter, except for a few The beasts must get used to this environment in order to survive here.
However, although this miasma is poisonous, under the sunlight, it is magnificent and gorgeous, which is very beautiful and can be regarded as a wonder.
Thinking about how those barbarians could have survived without something to avoid the miasma, the first-generation saint of the Five Immortals Sect had immeasurable merit for sacrificing her life to save others.
"It's about two days' journey from Shendu City. It's mainly due to the miasma. We have to walk more slowly, but it's actually not that far."
It is extremely difficult to move in the miasma, even if you have miasma-avoiding pills, especially if you do not consume too much physical energy, otherwise you will inhale too much miasma between heavy breathing, and even a panacea will not work.
Feng Ziyue nodded. In his last life, he had never been to Miao territory, nor had he seen this miasma. If there was to be a battle in the future, it would be fought under the dense cover of this miasma. Now he wanted to see the effect of this miasma. .
He got out of the car and walked a few steps at will, without deliberately blocking his luck. However, he saw that the miasma seemed to be afraid of him. As long as he got a little closer, it would disperse on its own and could not get closer than ten feet around him.
Feng Ziyue was stunned for a moment, but Ku Du next to him was dumbfounded.
What kind of miraculous power is this? The miasma is overwhelming, and there is no way to avoid it no matter what. This young man didn't do anything, and the miasma automatically avoided it - darling, are all innate masters really that strong?
In fact, although the innate master is immune to external evil, he is not so magical and exaggerated. Although the miasma cannot harm him, he will not automatically avoid it if he does not deliberately block it. Feng Ziyue thought for a while and saved one piece of clothing on his body. The efficacy of treasures.
He quietly pulled Qi Xiaodie aside and gave her the water-sharing Yugui. As expected, the miasma around Qi Xiaodie was also avoiding it, but the miasma around him was gradually coming in. Feng Ziyue secretly mobilized the power of the wind to bring the miasma to his side. Blowing away the miasma around here has the same effect.
The Water Dividing Jade Gui obtained from the old man holding the Demon Suppressing Stone Tablet has a magical effect, and I'm afraid it will be of great use in the future.
He eagerly gave himself such a thing, and it was definitely not just for the entrance and exit of the holy spring at the back of Canglan Mountain. If you think about it carefully, this thing is probably related to obtaining the three sealing stone tablets.
As for those three things, Feng Ziyue briefly asked his father Feng Bufan and grandfather Feng Tianhe, but they had never heard of them at all. Chu Hongyu grew up in Tianwaitian and was well-informed, but she had no impression at all.
The opportunity to find these three things seems to be still in the future.
Ku Du saw that Qi Xiaodie was able to push away the miasma, and his heart trembled even more. The legendary innate master was so powerful that he did not dare to resist at all, but kept thinking of Amitabha.
A group of people advanced slowly through the miasma and rested for one night. On the evening of the next day, they finally arrived outside the gate of Shendu City.
I have heard the name of Shendu City for a long time, but Feng Ziyue has never been there. Now when I looked up, I saw that the city wall was ten feet high, made of bluestone, stretching endlessly, and the end could not be seen at a glance.
Legend has it that this city wall is seventy miles long, comparable to a large city in the Central Plains. It is unknown how it was built on this barren land in the first place.
Above the city gate, the word "Shen Poison" hangs high, and there are a few patrolling soldiers at the door, dressed in strange costumes, stopping the passing caravans and inspecting them carefully one by one.
After all, the ritual ceremony in Shendu City is about to be held, and I am afraid that someone will cause trouble. If it is not a familiar caravan, I am afraid that I will not even be qualified to enter the city.
Of course, the team of monks in Kudu is very different.
In Shendu City, the status of Buddhist disciples is even higher than in Lingnan City. Before Kudu and his party reached the city gate, the officials guarding the city gate had already rushed over from a distance and knelt down.
To greet him, all the soldiers knelt down together and chanted the Buddha's name loudly. Even the merchants who had passed the customs had to kneel down together with the crowd to welcome the Three Jewels.
"I didn't know that the master was coming, but I missed you from a distance. Please forgive me!"
The gate guard fell to the ground, kowtowed, and trembled all over. It seemed that he was in sincere awe.
The influence of the Buddhist disciples here was so powerful and deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Feng Ziyue was also surprised, frowned slightly, and was slightly dissatisfied. But this was none of his business, so he just snorted and didn't say much.
Although Kudu looked like a villain in front of Feng Ziyue - he probably had the same behavior in front of the abbot and elders of the Mahalando Temple, but in front of these people, it was completely different.
I saw him wearing a cassock, holding an alms bowl in his hand, and holding a Zen staff in the other hand. He was full of auspicious energy, just like an eminent monk who had attained enlightenment.
, to show respect.
In Shendu City, the architecture and people's clothing are very different from those in the Central Plains. Even Lingnan Prefecture City is very different from it, and it looks extremely exotic.
Kudu led everyone through the streets and alleys until they came to the Mahalando Temple.
When I arrived at the gate of Dalanda Temple, I signed up and was greeted by a deacon and a monk. However, it was not too grand. After all, Kudu was just the abbot of a branch temple, and his status in the temple was not too high.
Kudu stuffed a envelope of silver into the hand of the welcoming monk, and received a smiling face in return.
"Senior Brother Kudu, why did you only arrive today? The Master has been waiting for you for a long time. Come, come, come, come with me to see the Master!"
Feng Ziyue nodded to Ku Du and signaled that he wanted to follow. Ku Du had no choice but to take him and Qi Xiaodie along. The deacon monk only regarded him as his proud disciple to guide him.
Without asking any questions, we headed all the way to the Main Hall.
Just after passing through the front hall, several monks suddenly came out of the thorns. When they saw Kudu, they were stunned for a moment and laughed: "It turns out to be Junior Brother Kudu, why are you here? Just in time, we are still here
I was just talking about you!"
When Kudu saw these people, he secretly complained. Normally he could do it alone, but now he was a little worried with Feng Ziyue and the two of them. Now that he bumped into these people, it was really depressing.
