Chapter 2057: Buddha Hall
"Women?" Chu Huan couldn't help but glance at Luo Duo, but he was already thinking about it in his heart.
Ruri asked softly, "That woman is their leader?" ”
The man thought for a moment before he said, "The disciple is not sure, but when the woman speaks, they obey, at least their status in it is not low." Later, the disciple passed out in a coma and knew nothing. ”
Liuli snorted softly, and then went out with a few other people.
"There are more than a dozen people on the other side, and there are camels and horses, and they should also come from the desert." Liuli said softly: "That woman's voice speaks, if nothing else, it should be their leader." ”
Luo Duo touched his beard and said: "It's not the language of the Western Regions, it's not the Central Plains dialect, so where is it sacred?" And it's a woman! "I couldn't figure it out for a while.
"This world is so big, there are many strange people and strange things, are there other forces that want to go to Lotus City and have another purpose?" Chu Huan thought for a while before saying, "It's not necessarily for the Buddha cave." ”
Liuli said: "No matter who it is, since they have come to Lotus City, they will come out sooner or later, no better than us to find them, if they have a purpose, they will also find us." ”
A few people discussed softly, but there was no result for a while, and they didn't stay at the moment, and set off to continue to Lotus City.
It is not far from Lotus City, and several people's energy and physical strength have also been greatly restored in the past two days, and they did not stop that night, but rushed to Lotus City overnight.
The closer you get to Lotus City, the more trees there are on the side of the road, the road is open, but there are hills on both sides, and the hills are densely wooded, and in the night, it is gray.
As we followed the open road to the west, it was just dawn, and without warning, a black shadow appeared at the end of the road, which was abruptly piled up directly above the gradual formation of thin trees, which looked a little terrifying.
When Chu Huan saw it at first glance, he mistakenly thought it was a dark cloud.
Gradually, the black shadow became clearer, and as the sky grew brighter, Chu Huan finally saw the true face of the black shadow clearly.
It turned out to be a huge city.
Chu Huan didn't look away, the closer he got, the clearer he looked, but he had already seen that although this city was far from being comparable to Luo'an Capital, it was obviously taller and more majestic than Shuoquan City or even Yunshan Mansion City, made of large pieces of bluestone, and the city wall was slightly tilted several zhang high, giving anyone who came from afar an indescribable sense of oppression, as if the city wall was about to collapse at any time, crushing you below.
On the city wall, you can clearly see the heavy eaves pavilion, perhaps used as a corner tower, and on the city wall, there are soldiers patrolling back and forth.
A majestic momentum emanated from this huge city wall.
The morning sun had not yet risen, but the heavy city gate had not been opened, and when the group reached the city gate, there were soldiers on the city wall who had already bent their bows and arrows and aimed them at the group, and the arrows seemed to be about to be shot at any moment.
Chu Huan clearly felt the hostility of the soldiers at the head of the city.
Although he didn't ask, Chu Huan knew that Lotus City was now heavily guarded and the armor was sonorous, in the final analysis, it was caused by the disaster more than twenty years ago.
Lotus City is the capital of the Buddha Country, and the country worships the Faith Sect, Chu Huan also learned from Luo Duo and others that before the wolf soldiers arrived in Lotus City, the Buddha Country had always been loosely armed, and there was not even a regular army of scale, and the guards of Lotus City were also very negligent, as the holy city of the Heart Sect, Lotus City was also extremely inclusive, accepting any outsiders.
The countries around the Buddha country also believe in the heart sect, so for the Buddha country, the surrounding environment has always been very peaceful, and no country wants to attack the Buddha country, not only do not want to, but also dare not, in this area, any force that dares to attack the Buddha country will become the target of the public, and no one wants to kill themselves.
But now it seems that there are sentry posts patrolling along the way, the head of the city is heavily guarded, and even the city gate is thick and strong, all of which shows that the disaster of that year really taught the Buddha country a great lesson, and the peaceful Buddha country also began to strengthen its armament and add a trace of anger.
"I'm Vidorata, open the gates!" Rodo looked up and said in a deep voice.
The soldiers at the head of the city naturally knew who Pitorozha was, but they didn't dare to believe that the city was Bidorozha, and they were still hesitating, but they saw that Rodoro's body was up, his feet were on the back of the horse, and the whole person flew into the sky like an eagle falcon, his body was close to the city wall, and he pointed his finger at the wall in the middle, and his body rushed up again, and his burly and strong body had already climbed the city wall.
Chu Huan secretly thought that Luo Duo's light skill was really good, and the soldiers at the head of the city were in turmoil, but soon they quieted down, and they had already heard someone shouting at the head of the city, and it didn't take long for the heavy city gate in front of him to make a "quack" sound, and it was already slowly opened.
"After so many years, things are different from people, but I didn't expect to be able to enter through this door." Chu Huan heard the glaze beside him sigh, turned his head to look at it, and said lightly: "Back then, Feng Hanxiao entered this gate, which brought a catastrophe to Lotus City, and many years later, you walked out of this gate, but brought a monstrous wave to the Central Plains. ”
Liuli glanced at Chu Huan and smiled lightly, along the way, she didn't talk to Chu Huan too much, since she knew that Liuli was the mastermind behind Tianmen Dao, the relationship between the two quickly became cold, and before finding the Buddha Cave, both sides seemed to be deliberately avoiding things about Tianmen Dao.
Although they shared hardships along the way, both of them felt as if there was a wall in between.
Luo Duo asked the city gate to be opened, but he asked two soldiers to take the Taoist priest who had followed him all the way down, and ordered the good student to entertain him, but he did not allow this person to wander around, and found someone to take care of him temporarily.
The Taoist priest was naturally powerless to resist, so he could only be led down by the soldiers.
Entering the Lotus City and riding a horse on the streets of the city, Chu Huan clearly felt that the city had not been repaired for a long time, and many houses on both sides had been newly built.
Although Lotus City was rebuilt, Chu Huan could also see that many of the buildings were still very simple, and they should be far from their original appearance.
The walls of many of the houses were still gray and black, and he knew that they must have been rebuilt on the burned foundations.
Although so many years have passed, the construction of a city, whether it is manpower or material resources, is unimaginable.
What's more, Lotus City is a huge city, its cost is even greater, the national strength of the countries of the Western Regions is not very strong, even if they help each other, but it is impossible to dedicate all their own family resources, so the newly built houses in Lotus City, most of them are very simple, and they are also very low, the restaurants and restaurants along the way, far from being compared with the Central Plains Market, but the blue tile light wall, the tall trees are shaded, and the scenery is quite beautiful.
The construction of the city, the main body is the Western Regions style, but it is mixed with a lot of Central Plains patterns, Chu Huan knows that this should be the ancestors who came here from the Central Plains to bring the architectural style of the Central Plains, integrated into the architecture of Lotus City, and passed down from generation to generation.
As the holy city of the Great Heart Sect, there are not a few buildings with the theme of Buddhism in the city, you can often see stupas along the way, and many walls are carved with stone murals, and the images of the Peacock King Bodhisattva and the eight tribes and even the sixteen Arhats are all displayed in the reliefs.
But the most conspicuous thing in the city, of course, is not the low buildings.
After entering the city, Chu Huan soon saw a magnificent palace standing out from afar, rising in the middle of the city, although it was still far from there, but because of its magnificent scale, in any corner of the city, the magnificent palace could be seen.
"That's the Buddha Hall!" Rhodo explained, "It has always been where the Holy King and the Buddha Mother are, but now! But he didn't go on.
The Holy King and the Mother of the Buddha were killed in the Central Plains, and this Buddha Hall now has no owner.
"Almost all of the eight tribes have gone to the Central Plains, and the eldest brother is the Heavenly King of the Holding Country, and he has also left many years ago, but I don't know who is in charge of Lotus City now?" Chu Huan asked.
Luo Duo said: "Venerable Luo Luo is the sixteen Arhats, the middle-aged is the longest and wisest Arhat, he belongs to the ruling country, and he has always assisted me in handling affairs, and when I left, everything was entrusted to him. ”
"I see." Chu Huan nodded slightly, looked around, but found that there was a huge city, it was very quiet, although it was just dawning at this time, but it was difficult to see people everywhere in the city, he was puzzled, and asked: "Why is there no trace of people in the city?" ”
Luo Duo smiled and said: "There are also more than 100,000 people in this city, and now it should be the time of Mao, it is the time to worship the Ming King Bodhisattva, the disciples of the Heart Sect are all in the Dharma field, and the people in the city are also chanting in the house. ”
"Dharma?"
"Don't misunderstand, this Dharma field is not another Dharma field." Rhodo explained: "Before the Buddha hall, there is a grand square, and every ten days of the month there will be a time to worship the Ming King Bodhisattva, and the disciples of the Heart Sect will worship the Ming King Bodhisattva in the Dharma field. He turned around and said, "When we come back this time, we shouldn't let too many people know, and we can enter the temple through the side door." ”
Liuli and Virubo looked at each other, and they both bowed slightly.
These people naturally know the roads in the city well, all the way to the center of the city, the palace is even clearer, Chu Huan found that the palace is really grand, the pillars around a circle, each pillar is extremely thick, not to mention it takes four or five people to hug it, even if they are separated by a long distance, you can still see those pillars carved with exquisite reliefs, at the top of the palace, there is a huge peacock stone carving, the peacock opens the screen, Chu Huan looks at the peacock shape, I immediately thought of the peacock opening picture I had seen earlier, which was very similar to the peacock in the picture.
Luo Duo led the way in front and led a few people around the back of the palace, Chu Huan approached the palace, and saw that this palace looked magnificent from a distance, but when he looked closely, he found that many places were extremely dilapidated, and many places collapsed, and many large stone pillars were only half cut off, and it could be seen at a glance that they were all burned by fire.
"To rebuild the Buddha hall, the cost is huge, and although there is help from other countries, it is difficult to bear." Rhodo's expression was solemn, "And the people have been displaced, so we built the people's dwellings first, and the damaged parts of the Buddha hall have been slightly repaired, and the outside has not been completely repaired for the time being." ”
Liuli said lightly on the side: "There is no harm in this, seeing these ruins and broken walls can also make everyone remember the suffering of the year." ”
