Chapter 42: Brewing

After Lu Xiang inquired clearly that Zhou Xing was not a monk of Yuanguang Temple, his attitude obviously changed greatly, and he was a little polite and respectful when he accosted him.

Zhou Xing also didn't want to be mistaken for a member of the evil temple by the people in the official mansion, so he deliberately talked, and the relationship between the two soon warmed up.

Zhou Xing also took out the precept and the degree to show Lu Xiang.

Zhou Xing pretended to be Lu Zhishen, but he didn't think that a play would be a temporary play.

He has long wanted to practice 'Great Compassion Gatling, the Western Heaven Bliss Karma Fire Bomb, one breath of three thousand three hundred turns, and six mantras to cross the world. 'That's it.

So little by little I was preparing.

This precept and degree, of course, have the ingredient of being tricked through the system, but they also have a true seal. It was he who played Lu Zhishen and went to the mortal temple to stay in the past years.

And he usually pays attention to collecting relevant information, such as printing the customs and customs of various temples.

Some of this information was obtained by him, and more of it was bought from Zongmenfang City.

There are not many travelogue codexes and manuscripts on the market, but you can get them with heart and money. He picks the kind of details that are more abundant, and he uses them as talking points when he is familiar with them, and it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

Lu Xiang looked through the ring and saw that Zhou had walked in so many places, and his posture was getting lower and lower.

pretended not to know and asked for some regional customs that he was actually quite familiar with, and Zhou Xing also said it in a good way.

At least for a wandering monk, Zhou Xing is fully qualified.

So, Lu Xiang was relieved about Zhou Xing's origins.

As far as he knew, with the arrogance and arrogance of those monks of Yuanguang Temple, even if they pretended, they would not spend such a lot of water grinding work to complete the details.

At the same time, Bai Dao glanced at this side several times, and snorted coldly......

Autumn is crisp, the sun is just right, and a group of people walk around, looking like they are going to play.

A little more than two miles away from the town, I began to climb the mountain.

Zhou Xing found that the stone staircase winds up, although it is seriously hidden by wild grass, it can still be seen that it is quite wide, not like that used in ordinary temples.

After walking for a while, he saw that there was an obvious fork in the road that was slanting to the left, and there was a hidden house wall in the distance between the mountains and forests, so he asked a family member who was carrying a basket and carrying things nearby, what was it.

The family replied that it was the old house of the Nie family, and now it is used as a summer resort.

Only then did Zhou Xing know that the mountain road was built with wide stairs to facilitate the Nie family's walking.

He praised: "The financial resources of the Nie Mansion are really strong. ”

Lu Xiang laughed with a little disdain, but didn't say much.

When you reach the top of the mountain, you will be able to see the Yuanguang Temple.

With several smaller peaks around it, the topography of this area is rather peculiar, like a giant hand with its fingers bent and in a hollow position.

The group can be said to have walked up from the wrist of the big hand, and in the distance they saw four pillar-shaped peaks on the opposite side, like a colonnade barrier, steep and similarly spaced.

On the right, there is also a columnar peak, relatively short and thick, shaped like a thumb, with a deep ravine outside it that is disconnected from the mountains.

In front of the group is a huge flat mountain rock platform, the edge of which is steep, like a knife cut, especially on the left, like the outer edge of the palm, very neat.

Beyond this cliff is a verdant valley, separated from the mountains for more than ten miles.

"This terrain can be called a ghostly workmanship, like a raised palm, why is it not Tuotian Peak, but named Qixia?"

Lu Xiang said: "It is said that a long time ago, there were miraculous things in this mountain, and every time Jin Wuxi fell, you could see the glow-like light reflecting the sky from a distance, hence the name." ”

"I see." Zhou Xingxin said: "The strange treasures of the past are probably the bane of future generations......"

The Yuanguang Temple, the destination of the group, is on this palm-like platform, leaning on the northern four-pillar peak, covering an area of about half of the palm of the giant palm.

But even so, the scale is far from as large as Zhou Xing expected.

Zhou Xing estimated that at most, he could live with more than 20 monks, and he didn't know why Lu Xiang cared so much. It is also a fast catcher and a border army, and the army is mobilized.

And when I entered the temple, I realized that the actual number of people in this temple was only eleven, and there were only five official monks who had ordination, and the remaining six people were all heads and laymen, who were relatively devout believers, and they were obliged to serve in the temple, eating, drinking, and practicing here.

The reason why he knew so much detail was that a monk mistook him for a fellow disciple, and even if he explained it clearly at the moment, the monk was still close to him, saying that it was his appearance, which reminded him of a senior brother he hadn't seen for a long time.

Zhou Xing asked again along the topic, only to know that the feelings of this Yuanguang Temple is to play interlocking, just Yu Guo is no less than 300 temples of all sizes, and there are more than 20,000 formal monks, all of which are called Yuanguang Temple.

Zhou Xing touched his bald head, and said in his heart: "Take this small temple as an example, five monks, there are six people to serve, even if it is half and half, that is 40,000 people, the temple monks do not pay taxes, do not know the imperial power, only know the Buddha's principles, every day in addition to chanting scriptures is practice, and what is similar to the military camp that attaches importance to political brainwashing?" If you include the devotees in the area around the monastery and the tenants who farmed for it, it is not a big problem to raise a contingent of more than 100,000 people. This is a force of faith, and there are at least 20,000 officers with strong professional ability...... Tsk, if I were from the official mansion of Yu Guo, I would be jealous! ”

Zhou Xing noticed that the Nie Mansion family only rested for a moment before getting busy again. Prepare for the ritual.

The time is already at the end of the hour, and the ceremony starts on time at three o'clock in the afternoon, and there is still about two minutes to prepare.

And an honorable guest like him has never been assigned to affairs.

Sit down under the shade of the tree, there are lay people offering pine needle tea, the mountain breeze comes slowly, drinking tea and watching the scenery, it is also pleasant.

Of course, in fact, Zhou Xing was not in the mood to watch the scenery, but hurried to make final preparations, after all, most of the next war would start.

He also paid attention to Wei Kun.

Sure enough, as he expected, this Wei Kun had the right idea, and did not take to heart his warning that 'the Dharma is insufficient, taboo and rush forward', but was eager to fill the gap caused by the magic weapon.

Thinking about it from his own position, he could also understand Wei Kun's psychology of wanting to borrow the power of magic weapons, but also worrying about being pulled into the abyss.

has been suffering, now that there is a way, it is natural to work hard and quickly, strengthen control, even if there is a big hidden danger in the rush for quick success, it is also a matter of the future, and then find a way to solve it.

Zhou Xing's previous life was not without this kind of dismantling the east and making up for the west, and he still had a good grasp of this kind of thinking that could only take care of the present.

Wei Kun was calculated by him like this.

The Great Day Wuxiang Gong itself can be regarded as a righteous Fa, but no matter how correct the Fa is, it cannot stand up to the evil practice.

Without the help of Buddhism, it is easy to be taken advantage of, and when needed, the non-phase can become the Jizo phase.

After all, although Zhou Xing's divine stick body could not use the Dora Illusion, the advantage of the powerful divine sense was still there.

At about a quarter of noon, the utensils were ready to stop, and the personnel from all walks of life were in place.

Zhou Xing and Lu Xiang chatted more, and they had been together before, and at this time, they came to the empty field in front of the main hall of Yuanguang Temple together.

I saw that the Dead Dao Man, Yu Wushuang, and Gongsun Hu had already arrived first and stood on the east seat.

Zhou Xing and Lu Xiang also went over.

Xixi is the Nie family. Zhou Xing noticed that the woman wearing a crimson brocade robe and covering her face with a black veil was on Nie Feng's hand, that is, on the left, this person should be the continuation of the Liu clan outside Nie Lao.

And the woman who started with Nie Feng and gave up half a step back was naturally Nie Feng's wife, Jiang, wearing a plain white brocade dress and a white veil, which was also very easy to identify.

Then down is Nie Yun, holding his chin high and looking awkward, looking like a little drag.

This person is the kind of person who the longer they spend together, the more undesirable they become. When he was traveling before, he was courteous to Lu Xiang from time to time, and saw that he got along well with Lu Xiang and his attitude was also very polite.

treats servants, butchers, etc., it is a completely different face, and the little prestige plays frequently and naturally.

The helpers who contributed to the power of yang evil were in the south of the square, faintly led by Wei Kun, who was alive and vivid, after all, he had cultivated mana, which was equivalent to entering the innate state.

The altar is in the center of the square, and the old man Nie has already taken his place, only wearing a middle coat, white silk shirt and pants, his body is rich, and his eyebrows are kind, as if he is asleep.

It is said that this is the credit of Yuanguang Temple, after the evil spirit, there have been people chanting for it, so the water and rice have not entered for several days, and there is still such a complexion.

But Zhou Xing felt that there was a problem.

Although he was not a life cultivator, a phase cultivator, or a divination cultivator, when he was in the Yunxiao Sect, he had more or less come into contact with monks and knowledge who were proficient in this way.

But I really don't understand the Taoist rituals and prayers for disasters.

After all, being a cultivator and being a cultivator are two different things.

Cultivators take spiritual energy for their own use, supplemented by pills, immortality is their main goal, fighting methods are better to serve this goal, refining tools is the same, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

Cultivation is somewhat similar to Taoism, the native Chinese religion that Zhou Xing knew in his previous life, and it is really a few points.

The Taoism he understood was later after the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.

In addition, the stars of this world are very different from the earth, although there are also zodiac signs, such as the heavens and the earth, the Big Dipper, he is really playing by himself. Especially after the idea of 'Zhou Tian Xingdou Diagram'.

It is precisely because the cultivation here is the Tao of Taoism, not the Tao of enlightenment, that the Taoist sects of the mortal world are not close to the Xiuzhen sect.

Especially the five majors, the source is the foreign immortal sect of the sect, which has its own true law and wonderful transmission, and it also has more conditions for the birth of other true laws (people, environment), no need to explore downward, in the eyes of the world, it is a group of land immortals, and the style has always been very high.

But there is something true about Taoism's existence in this transcendent world.

Moreover, they have a certain interaction with small Xiuzhen sects and families, and the royal power of many countries also uses it to balance the problem of Buddhism.

Therefore, even if Taoism pays attention to quiet and inaction, hides in the mountains, and comprehends the mysteries and creations, there is no money to spend, or they are asked to come to the door to do things or something.

Buddhism, on the other hand, plays the trick of religious collars under the guise of saving sentient beings, and there are a large number of practitioners preaching, which is down-to-earth and corrosive.

But on the whole, the mortal world in this world is still a three-legged trend of monks, Taoists, and Confucianism.

Zhou Xing learned about these from the classics, and now he has personally contacted, and the information is confirmed one by one, and he has an intuitive feeling.

With a bit of insight in mind, he wanted to see how this scene would be played......
