Chapter 198 I am the only one in heaven and on earth
Xu Mochen and the two sneaked to the foot of the mountain and followed the official road into Changlin City.
The scene inside is shocking to see.
The city was built along the mountain peak and was divided into three levels.
The first floor is where ordinary people live. Even so, the houses and other buildings are comparable to those in the capital city.
The goods in the shops and the supplies in the market are also dazzling.
On the second floor, it is the residence of wealthy families, with mansions of various sizes, with groups of servants coming in and out.
The last floor is where the government and the temple of the Liuzang Sect are located.
As Xu Mochen expected, Lanzhou has completely integrated politics and religion.
In front of the Liuzang Sect's temple, people who came to worship Buddha formed a long queue.
Looking up, there are still very high stone steps to go before reaching the temple.
But the road was full of people, including many officials wearing official uniforms.
"Is today a good day?" Tang Derun asked a passerby.
"You two are from out of town, so it's normal not to know." The passerby held a large amount of incense in his hand. "This month is the birthday of the Liuzang Buddha, and people from all over Lanzhou have to come to pay homage."
Xu Mochen had never heard of this Buddha. Thinking of what happened in Danzhou in the south, could it be another created god?
"You two don't know something. Lanzhou could be said to be a barren land many years ago," the passerby said enthusiastically. "Later, the Buddha appeared and illuminated the land of Lanzhou, causing earth-shaking changes. Only then did we live and work in peace and contentment today.
Therefore, we people can say we are grateful to the Buddha."
Tang Derun thought for a while and asked tentatively: "So, the imperial court and the government actually have little effect on the development of Lanzhou."
"What can the court do?" the passerby sneered. "Such a remote place must have been forgotten by today and left to its fate."
Xu Mochen pursed his lips, who told you that I no longer want the territory.
Even mosquito meat is very rare to me.
He actually started to think about looking at the so-called Liuzang Buddha, wondering what kind of immortal he was.
There were people all the way and they were moving very slowly. After three hours, Xu Mochen and his wife arrived at the entrance of the temple.
I saw a row of monks standing on both sides of the door. The clothes they wore were different from those of Buddhism in Daqian.
"The world in the ten directions doesn't care about religious beliefs?" Xu Mochen asked casually.
"Not really." Tang Derun stepped forward to give alms and gave the other monk a banknote. The monk shook his head, obviously not paying much attention to it. "There are also some pagan or small religions, but they cannot develop on a general scale."< /p>
After giving the banknote and exchanging a bunch of incense, Tang Derun handed it to Xu Mochen.
Xu Mochen waved his hand, he didn't worship heaven and earth, he didn't kneel to ghosts and gods, let alone the Six Tibetan Buddhas.
After entering, the crowd split up and each found a place to burn incense and worship Buddha.
Xu Mochen was not interested, so he stepped forward and entered the main hall directly.
In the center of the main hall, stands a Buddha statue with a strict Dharma.
The Buddha statue is about 20 meters high, its whole body is covered with gold foil, and its eyes are actually two cat's-eye stones.
Looking at it this way, it seems lifelike.
Tang Derun's consciousness swept and he found no immortal cultivators except the common people in the main hall.
Xu Mochen also calmed down: "Send incense."
Tang Derun acted as ordered, inserted the incense into the incense burner, lowered his hands and retreated to Xu Mochen.
Xu Mochen and the Buddha's eyes met, and they actually saw a flash of light.
It seems that the cultivators of Liuzang Sect are not completely defenseless.
He took a step forward and continued walking back, passed through the side hall, and came to the backyard.
This place was blocked by several monks: "Donor, this is the private domain of the sect and is not open to outsiders."
Xu Mochen looked around and saw a nine-story pagoda in front of him, with bells ringing in the wind.
"I am a destined person," Xu Mochen took out a jade pendant and handed it over, "Please inform me."
"This..." The monk obviously had no way of making the decision.
During the stalemate, a voice sounded: "No wonder the purple light fell today, it turns out that a distinguished guest has arrived."
An old monk came out of the backyard and came forward to salute: "You guys, step back. Your distinguished guest has come from afar and you are being neglected."
Xu Mochen didn't want to force his way in, so it would be best if someone came to pick him up.
But he also felt a sense of vigilance. It seemed that the intelligence capabilities of the Liuzang Sect should not be underestimated.
The two of them followed the old monk forward, and when their spiritual consciousness swept over him, they saw that he was also an ordinary person.
Entering the backyard, you will see a different world. Unexpectedly, there is a temple behind it.
Of course, this temple is very deserted, without any incense.
Xu Mochen looked up at the nine-story pagoda. Logically speaking, the distance should be shortened by walking these paths.
But now I can see visually that there is no change in the position of the pagoda.
In other words, there is already a place where the gods can hide.
The old monk stood at the door of the temple and saluted again: "Please forgive me, distinguished guest, for I can only lead the way here.
Whether you have the chance to enter or not depends on your ability."
This was said very openly, so Xu Mochen didn't mind and just nodded.
The old monk completed his mission. He flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave.
"Your Majesty," Tang Derun, as a cultivator in the world of monsters and beasts, is more sensitive, "This is already a place where the gods are hidden, but it is not so obvious."
"Hidden within the hidden," Xu Mochen pointed to the entrance of the temple, "I'm afraid it's not the right way there."
Once you enter, you may fall into a trap, which is also a formation.
"Your Majesty is wise." Tang Derun felt that the emperor was becoming more and more shrewd, and he could actually see through the methods of immortal cultivators at a glance.
The main entrance of the temple is the entrance, but it is not.
If you enter rashly, you will encounter a trap killing array.
"So..." Xu Mochen looked around and smiled, "It's the incense burner."
In the courtyard in front of the temple, there is a huge copper incense burner with a diameter of several meters. It is also filled with pillars of incense, and the smoke drifts away in the wind.
The two of them had a tacit understanding. At the same time, their figures swayed, turned into escaping light, and jumped onto the incense burner.
Divine consciousness and spiritual energy surged out, touching the door of the hidden place, a ray of light flashed, and the two disappeared.
The Liuzang Sect did not set up any obstacles at the entrance of the incense burner.

Xu Mochen and Xu Mochen gently landed in the same place.
I saw that this place was vast, with thick incense ash beneath my feet, and wisps of hot air floating out.
Surrounded by undulating mountains are mountains piled with incense ash, and then there are pillars several meters thick reaching the sky, all over the world..z.br>
The tops of these pillars are very high, emitting flames and incense, and lines of gold characters are printed on the pillars.
"The light of the Six Treasure Buddhas illuminates the world; I am the only one in heaven and on earth."
Xu Mochen couldn't help but laugh: "Ai Qing, even the immortal cultivators in Yunshang Realm probably don't have such a loud tone."
"Indeed," Tang Derun saw this for the first time, "after all, there are still various tribulations for immortal cultivators. Under the constraints of heaven, who just said that I am the only one?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud voice came: "Bound by heaven?
You two know that there are places in the world that cannot be constrained by the laws of heaven."
In the distant sky, a mountain peak appears vaguely, and the top of the mountain is still the familiar nine-story pagoda.
Xu Mochen understood that this was the real place of the Liuzang Sect.
The mountain peaks were filled with layers of golden light, rushing over like a tide, covering the sky with gold.
Immediately, the colorful rays of light dispersed, and a Buddha with Dharma dignity appeared.
It looks very similar to the Buddha statues you see in temples, but what you see in front of you is a living creature.
"Excuse me, Xu Mochen," Xu Mochen stepped forward and cupped his hands, "May I ask how you call the venerable?"
The Buddha smiled slightly, and the blossoming golden lotus unfolded, mixed
Mixed with the scent of incense, I couldn't help but feel respectful when I smelled it: "I am the Buddha of the Liuzang Sect. The emperor of Daqian is so polite."
"You recognize me," Xu Mochen found it interesting, "There is no surprise at all."
The Buddha kept smiling: "I am the Buddha who protects the land of Lanzhou. All living and dead people in Lanzhou cannot escape the eyes of this Buddha."
After saying this, his eyes burst out with light, covering Xu Mochen and the two of them.
Bubbles of all sizes appeared around Xu Mochen, and in each bubble flashed images of Xu Mochen and Tang Derun acting together in the past.
From the initial killing of Zhou Chengyun to the recent entry into the Lanzhou realm, his whereabouts are clear at a glance.
Xu Mochen's heart froze. He didn't expect that he couldn't escape the gaze of these eyes with his spiritual defense and eight-phase soul condensation.
"So Emperor Daqian," the Buddha looked at the two of them kindly, "do you still think that I am a great supporter of you?"
