There is Tianxin City in the center of Tianwu Kingdom. There is Jingkong Mountain more than a hundred miles outside the city. The mountain is not too big or too small. It is about a thousand feet high and stretches for several miles. On the top of the mountain is a small temple that is 100 feet square, called Jingkong Temple.
.
A hundred years ago, Jingkong Temple was still very popular, but since the legendary eminent monk Yuan Mu disappeared, it gradually fell silent. A hundred years later, there is only a young monk of 17 or 18 years old, cleaning every corner of the temple every day.
In a corner, there was obviously no one to supervise, but the little monk was still doing his thing tirelessly.
Jingkong Temple is located at the top of the mountain. Halfway up Jingkong Mountain, the water comes from nowhere and turns into a waterfall flowing down the mountain stream at the foot of the mountain, stirring up waves of mist. It is like a fairyland and the scenery is excellent.
After the young monk cleans the temple every day, except for the morning and evening lessons of reciting scriptures, he spends the rest of the time carrying two buckets and fetching water from the foot of the mountain several times. Day after day, year after year, the little monk is accompanied by nothing but clean air.
The beautiful scenery of the mountain, at the beginning, I could still count the water marks I made. Now, as I become more and more accustomed to it, all I have left is the footprints I made on the stone steps.
On this day, the little monk went down to the mountain to fetch water as usual. As soon as he picked up the water and was about to turn around, he saw a big monk wearing a large purple and gold patterned cassock standing by the water and looking at him. The little monk put down the bucket slowly and looked at him.
The great monk clasped his hands together.
"Amitabha, my disciple Sun Jingxin has met his master..."
As soon as the young monk finished saluting, he rushed forward, using his arms as sticks, and moved his arms in all directions. He obviously did not use his spiritual power, but the force of his ordinary move moved the people flowing down the river.
The waterfall cut off and flew up, and the turbulent waterfall flowed upstream for a while, and the splashing water mist turned into a rainbow under the busy sunlight.
Seeing this, the elder monk was neither angry nor evasive in the face of the younger monk's attack. He stretched out his right hand and easily blocked the younger monk's attack. The younger monk saw that he could not succeed in attacking, so he used his remaining energy to fly into the air. Between the lightning and flint, his hands were flying.
The legs were like rotating blades, kicking towards the big monk continuously. Such a change was really beyond the big monk's expectation. The big monk took a step back, lightly drew a semicircle with his right hand, stuck to the little monk's right leg, and took away the force.
The monk slowly landed on the ground and looked at the great monk with a smile.
"Two moves..." the little monk said happily.
"Well..." The great monk smiled and nodded, and his face returned to calmness in a blink of an eye, "The time has come, you come with me..."
"yes……"
The little monk nodded, turned around and swung the two buckets behind him toward the top of the mountain. The two buckets landed steadily next to the water tank in the temple on the top of the mountain. Seeing this, the big monk nodded with satisfaction, and then took the little monk with him.
The monk left, and the backward waterfall slowly fell down the mountain stream again. Everything returned to its original state, except that the originally silent Jingkong Mountain became even quieter.
Wu Zhenguo.
After bidding farewell to Li Yuanqing and the old Taoist, Xie Lingjun returned to Mulan, took out a gold coin to pay for tea, bought an old horse from the stable next to the old woman, and quickly left with Mulan.
After walking for more than ten miles, we arrived not far from the city wall. On the plaque on the city wall were written the two characters "Yuncheng", which was exactly where Xie Lingjun and Mulan's destination was.
Perhaps it was because it was closer to the city, or because the weather had cleared up, and the number of pedestrians and cultivators coming and going had increased. Xie Lingjun felt inexplicably empty in his heart along the way, as if he had forgotten something important. Suddenly
An idea suddenly came to his mind, and he slapped his head. This sudden movement shocked Mulan who was riding on the horse.
"What's wrong?" Mulan asked quickly.
"Oops! I forgot to ask him to help me keep an eye on my senior brother!" Xie Lingjun held the horse with one hand and slapped his thigh with the other.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Mulan laughed so hard on horseback that her branches trembled with laughter. At that moment, Mulan was as bright and moving as a hibiscus that had just emerged from the water in the morning sun. Passers-by all looked at it sideways and secretly sighed: Which girl is this from? How did she become so beautiful?
moving?
Xie Lingjun, who had been thinking about other things before, didn't have time to think about it carefully, finally realized what he was doing and said to himself: If I had known better, I would have put a veil on Mulan...
Walking quickly into Yuncheng, he helped Mulan dismount. Xie Lingjun quickly took out the black gauze that Mulan had worn when they first met. Mulan smiled and said that she put it on, and Xie Lingjun felt relieved. Mulan's identity would be easily recognized without mentioning it.
, even this stunning appearance will lead to a lot of unnecessary troubles. Although Xie Lingjun is not afraid, it is always better to have one less thing than one more thing.
Yuncheng is one of the three satellite cities of Medicine City. It is called Yuncheng precisely because each Yuncheng has a teleportation circle. Wuzhen Kingdom has a vast territory with sparsely populated areas. Some important cities, such as Medicine City, etc.
Yes, there are Yuncheng and teleportation arrays in cities, but there are none around the Wuzhen Imperial Capital.
The purpose of the teleportation circle is to reduce the hardship of long journeys. As long as you can afford it, you can get there from Yuncheng to Fanxing City, which is a million miles away, with just a cup of tea. At the same time, if the imperial capital needs strength support, local forces can
They can quickly gather in Yuncheng and rush to the aid of the Imperial Capital. On the other hand, the Imperial Capital cannot allow the rebel forces to reach the Imperial Capital directly. There is a buffer zone of several thousand miles to get the best of both worlds.
The words "teleportation array" are very unfamiliar to a bumpkin like Xie Lingjun, who has always lived in the valleys. If Mulan hadn't explained, Xie Lingjun would have never known that the three major forces in Nanzhou all have teleportation arrays, but Lingyun City has
There is definitely no such small town, let alone Nanyang Town.
Looking for a place to sell the old horse that had been accompanying him for more than ten miles, Xie Lingjun took Mulan to the Yuncheng City Lord's Mansion and bought two tickets, which cost Xie Lingjun 10,000 gold coins. Fortunately, Xie Lingjun had the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Medicine Sect.
, otherwise we really can’t afford this teleportation circle.
When Xie Lingjun and Mulan were lining up with a group of people, led by people from the City Lord's Mansion, when they saw the teleportation circle for the first time, Xie Lingjun's jaw dropped.
"Isn't this the entrance to the Desolate Realm?"
Xie Lingjun's heart was filled with turmoil. The so-called teleportation circle was similar to the entrance to the Desolate Realm. A silver halo exuded the power of space. The inside of the halo was pure black. Only this was different from the entrance to the Desolate Realm.
, the entrance to the Desolate Realm looks like the Desolate Realm, not a mass of blackness.
Mulan was quite familiar with the teleportation circle, so she pulled Xie Lingjun into the pure black and walked towards the destination of Star City.
Unlike the Desolate Realm, Xie Lingjun can reach where he wants to go in one step. This teleportation circle is like a dark tunnel, with a torch far apart on both sides. A group of people, led by people from the City Lord's Mansion, step by step
go ahead.
After Xie Lingjun and Mulan disappeared, Xu Jing and Zhong Wanqing appeared in front of the city lord's palace. Xu Jing was holding a wine flask in her hand, and her face was slightly tipsy. It was obvious that she was drinking beautifully.
"Niubi and the monk have completed their tasks, why don't you go and do your work, hiccup..." Xu Jing burped and said slowly.
"One of them has been deployed for a hundred years, and the other was decided sixty years ago. I still have thirty years, so there is no rush..." Zhong Wanqing said with an indifferent expression.
"Won't you rob me?" Xu Jing suddenly became energetic.
"How about the two of us choose that boy together... The cause and effect on him is too complicated. I think you might not be able to handle it alone..." Zhong Wanqing asked tentatively.
"Gudugudu... um..." Xu Jing took a long sip of wine, pondered for a while, and wiped his mouth, "I did some calculations, and the success rate seems to be greater if we work together... Then let's go together... Give me this drink to top it off
ah!"
"Okay! Let's go!" Zhong Wanqing said happily.
"Go? Where to go?" Xu Jing asked blankly.
"Teleportation Array! Star City!" Zhong Wanqing said excitedly.
"I didn't bring any money! Five thousand gold coins per person. Who among us would bring such worldly things these days? Let's fly..." Xu Jing said angrily.
"Alas... a penny can't help a heroic man... Forget it, I'm happy today, I'll treat you, I can do it with just one pill."
After saying that, Zhong Wanqing walked towards the city lord's palace, and soon came over with two tickets. Xu Jing followed Zhong Wanqing drunkenly, and slowly stepped into the teleportation circle.
