Luzhou, since its founding in the Western Han Dynasty, has always been a large city on the Yangtze River Basin. Looking at the entire Jiannan Road, it can be regarded as a Shangzhou. It is large in scale, has a large population, and is very prosperous.
However, there are hundreds of Shangzhous in the Tang Dynasty. Apart from the developed brewing industry, Luzhou is nothing special. However, there is one attraction in Luzhou that I can talk about, and that is the famous Linghai Temple. Linghai Temple was built in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. , has been here for hundreds of years, and is considered the largest temple in Jiannan Road. People come and go, the incense is flourishing, and there are many believers.
On this day, among the noisy crowds in Linghai Temple, two handsome young men appeared. However, if Lao Jianghu took a closer look, he would realize that one of them must be a woman pretending to be a woman. That white and tender skin, those watery eyes and handsome facial features, they don't look like men in any way, but it can be said that the disguise is more clever. The other person was dressed in fine clothes, and one could tell at a glance where he belonged. Needless to say, these two people were none other than Li Yan, the princess of Xiping County, and Ye Sanlang, who was disguised as Li Yuan.
Although he was reluctant at first, Ye Sanlang, who had been busy with affairs recently, really needed to relax his body and mind a little, so with Li Sihan's consent, he agreed to accompany Li Yan to Luzhou. Although it was still a long way from Yizhou, it was beneficial. With the help of fast horses provided by Zhouyi Station, it only takes about half a day to reach such a distance. And to Ye Sanlang's expectation, Li Yan was not a weak woman. She secretly practiced martial arts in her spare time, and she seemed to be pretty good at it, and her equestrian skills were even better.
Later, while talking during the break, he learned that almost every year at this time, Li Yan would go to Linghai Temple to offer incense to her mother. Although her mother went to Chang'an with her father this year, this habit has not changed. In the past, sometimes when I was tired, I would come by carriage. At that time, there would be many followers accompanying me, but it was very annoying and annoying. Sometimes I wanted to be alone, so I would find a skilled servant in the house to dress up together. , and then secretly hit the road.
And this year, with Ye Sanlang accompanying her, she will certainly not drag others with her, and those followers know her own weight. Now that the second son of the Prime Minister has come to Yizhou for Li Yan, it is natural to go to Linghai Temple this year. They also knew what it was like to have Mr. Li accompanying them.
Looking at the scene of people coming and going and filled with fireworks, Ye Sanlang couldn't help but be surprised. Since ancient times, both Buddhism and Taoism have been extremely popular in the Central Plains, and Buddhism is especially popular in the Tang Dynasty today. Especially during the period of Emperor Taizong, his younger brother Xuanzang, accompanied by several disciples, went to Tianzhu to obtain the Tripitaka of Buddhist scriptures. After returning to Jinshan Temple in Chang'an, he opened a forum to lecture on scriptures. Emperor Taizong even established Buddhism as the state religion. Suddenly, Buddhism was very popular in the Tang Dynasty.
As a result, Buddhist temples began to be built in the Tang Dynasty. The original Buddhist temples were renovated and rebuilt with government funding, and large temples like Linghai Temple received preferential treatment. All the big Buddhas were re-gilded, and the main hall looked majestic, unlike before. On the contrary, this also caused more and more people to come to Linghai Temple to become a monk and practice Buddhism. The number of disciples in the temple increased day by day, and the incense became more and more prosperous.
When he was in Chang'an, Ye Sanlang was not interested in these things, and he never even visited the Jinshan Temple, the first temple in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, he was still a little surprised to see this scene today. He didn't expect that something like religion could more easily control the people, whether it was From actions to thoughts, the people were able to obey blindly without any doubts, which inspired him a lot.
But for him, the Buddhist temple still seemed boring. Following Li Yan, offering incense, fulfilling wishes, praying, and listening to a bunch of bald donkeys preaching, it almost made him suffocated to death. But since he agreed to accompany someone, he had to accompany him no matter what. In the end, it doesn't matter whether you want it or not, as long as she is happy.
Moreover, as a disciple of the Xunlong Sect, his vision is naturally different from ordinary people. He suddenly remembered the basic technique of the Xunlong Sect to find Qi. Anyway, listening to Bald Donkey's sermon was boring, so he just tried to find Qi with his mind, which he had not used for a long time. After sitting cross-legged on the futon, he fell into a special state. In the eyes of others, this might be the result of listening to the master's sermon. He felt something and was thinking. In fact, he had entered a strange world.
It was a completely different black and white world from what normal Xunlongmen disciples saw. In this black and white world, he could see all the fluctuations of vitality. In this world, he opened his eyes and almost went blind. ! Gold, everywhere the eyes can see are large tracts of gold. This should be the golden light of Buddhism. In Buddhist temples, this kind of golden light permeates everywhere. This is proof that Buddhist temples are blessed by gods and Buddhas. Some small Buddhist temples, If the abbot has distracting thoughts and the disciples do not abide by the rules, such a Buddhist temple will not receive such blessing. Therefore, the existence of the golden light of Buddhism also reflects the orthodoxy of this Buddhist temple to a certain extent.
And just when Ye Sanlang was exploring around with curiosity, he was suddenly startled, because in his eyes now, Li Yan's whole body was actually filled with black light smoke, and that was not the dark energy, the original energy was He knew the feeling of dark energy very well, but the black energy in front of him was an evil energy full of wild power!
He suddenly opened his eyes and stood up. Under the puzzled gazes of everyone around him, he instantly pulled out a talisman from his side. It was the evil-breaking talisman that he had prepared for a long time. He fiercely attached the talisman to it. Li Yan, who had no time to react, quickly finished reciting a mantra on his forehead, and then the golden light of the talisman broke out and turned into a demon-killing golden light. The surrounding Buddha statues also shot out a golden light as if they were being pulled. Many golden lights will Li Yan was locked up heavily, and only a piercing scream was heard. Li Yan's body suddenly turned into a black smoke, and was strangled by the golden light.
This scene made everyone around them scared out of their wits. They screamed and fled the side hall in panic. Fortunately, the elder who was giving a lecture just now had some insight and quickly stepped forward and asked: "This donor, who was poor just now?" The monk saw that the benefactor was able to cast magic-killing spells, and he was also able to cause the ten Buddha statues in the lecture hall of the temple to emit Buddhist demon-killing golden light at the same time, strangling the demonic energy together. He seemed to be very accomplished, but he didn't know who the benefactor was. ?”
However, Ye Sanlang didn't bother to answer him at the moment. Instead, he quickly called Li Sihan through his mind, but he didn't get any response. This is when he can still use the power of the soul to be very powerful. Through the magic of the Western Continent through memory, through strange sacrifices, the two of them can communicate with each other. Even if they are far apart, they can still sense each other's existence. . However, now all his feelings have disappeared, and he can't get any response.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and a suspicion that he didn't want to believe was lingering in his mind at the moment... No! He doesn't want to believe it!
After a wave of waves, Zhou Hu also appeared next to him. He who had been secretly guarding him also saw that something was wrong at this moment. Before Ye Sanlang could tell him, he took out the conch he had given him before and contacted him. Another brother who was placed in Zhou Mansion in Yizhou also did not respond...
Seeing that Zhou Hu's contact also failed, his expression became very scary at this moment, and he could only see him saying word by word: "Speed, speed, hurry, return to Zhou's house!"
Yes, at this critical juncture, whether it is imp transportation or any other movement spell, it is not as efficient as the short-distance teleportation that can only be learned by the immortal-level expert. If they ignore consumption and move as far as possible without interruption, they may be able to return to Zhou Mansion in less than a quarter of an hour.
However, even now, it is too late for Ye Sanlang. ;
