Mozhou is located in the westernmost part of the world of immortality, separated from Qianyue Desert and Shuozhou.
The land here is barren and most of it is desert. Only at the intersection of the east and Qingzhou can there be patches of forest.
Therefore, most people moved there and it became the most prosperous place in Mozhou.
However, I don’t know how many years ago, Buddhist cultivators appeared. They focused on ascetic practices and vowed to transform Mozhou into a good place where everyone can live a normal life.
Therefore, at Leiyin Temple, top Buddhist forces such as Hinayana and Zen led their disciples to the western part of Mozhou. After hundreds of thousands of years of hard work, oases emerged in various parts of Mozhou.
From then on, the people of Mozhou no longer had to go through all kinds of hardships to move to Wan Cong Lin, which was once the most prosperous place in Mozhou.
Today, except for a few places that are surrounded by desert, other places are wrapped in patches of trees.
The Liangzhong Mountain where Lin Su is now is one of them.
Due to the contribution made by Buddhism, people all over Mozhou supported the belief in Buddhism, making Mozhou a place where Buddhism flourished, while the status of other monks such as immortal cultivators was relatively weak.
Closer to home, Liangzhong Mountain is said to be a green mountain moved by Buddhist masters from thousands of miles away, making the surrounding area livable.
No one knows the specific situation, but it is indeed a very suitable place to settle. Hundreds of families in Liangchong Village have settled here for generations.
Not far from Liangchong Village, there is a Liangchong City, which is managed by a small Zen temple.
It is said that the small Zen temple was built by the great power of Zen Buddhism, and that great power was the one who moved to Liangzhong Mountain, but no one knows whether this is true.
All I know is that there are small Zen temples around these two mountains.
Baptismal Festival is an important festival in Liangzhong Mountain, or an important day in Xiaozen Temple.
Villages living near Liangcong Mountain have the opportunity to have their daughters baptized and then become Buddhist saints.
These are what Lin Su roughly knows. However, she doesn't have a good impression of Buddhism, so she is naturally not interested in the Baptismal Festival.
But it has to be said that the establishment of Buddhism has indeed made indelible contributions to Mozhou. Even if she doesn't like monks, she has to admire those Buddhists back then.
Of course, despite admiration, she still didn't want to deal with these monks.
After all, she still has Buddhist marks on her body. Although it was caused by the monks of Wuliang Temple, who knows whether these monks will notice it and tell Wuliang Temple.
After all, this is Mozhou, the headquarters of Buddhism.
Wuliang Temple is said to be one of the four major Buddhist temples.
The four major Buddhist schools are Leiyin Temple, Hinayana Buddhism, Zen Buddhism and Wuliang Temple.
Although Wuliang Temple is located at the end of the four major Buddhist sects, it is not something she can deal with.
Therefore, what she has to do now is to keep a low profile. After all, she is almost useless now. Any monk can defeat her, let alone the terrifying Buddha.
Especially, now she can't even open the life-saving cauldron of creation, and she can't escape from danger.
Therefore, she hardly moved around in Liangzhong Village, either meditating to heal her injuries or guiding Xiaozhu to practice.

"Are you ready for the Buddhist ceremony?"
Two men dressed as monks walked into the village chief's house, sat on stools, and looked down at the village chief.
"Not yet," the village chief said, and knelt down on the ground with a plop, praying, "This year's harvest is not good, please give us a little more time."
"Give me a little more time?" A monk sneered, "I remember the Buddhist ceremony is due today. It seems you don't take the Buddha seriously."
"Please forgive me, Master." The village chief looked very frightened and quickly took out two bags from his arms and handed them over.
"We will definitely send the Buddhist ceremony and the female ceremony together on the day of the baptismal ceremony."
The two monks took the bag, weighed it, and then looked at each other and smiled, but they quickly stopped smiling and looked indifferent.
"If you haven't handed over the Buddhist rituals on the Baptismal Day, your village will no longer be under our protection."
The village chief's expression changed drastically, and he quickly assured, "Don't worry, Master, I will definitely hand it over in time."
If they had not lost their asylum, their village would have disappeared from history the next day. This is not alarmist, just look at the few remaining villages around.
Watching them leave, the village chief breathed a sigh of relief. He agreed so easily this time, which made him feel like he was in a dream. According to past practice, they should have made a big deal or blackmailed them.
"It seems that this time God..."
Before he could finish his emotion, he saw two monks coming from outside. What made him relieved was that these two monks were not the monks who had just left, but two other monks.
This made the village chief feel bad.
"Where's the Buddhist ritual?"
The two monks got right to the point as soon as they arrived.
The village chief's face became ugly, but he did not dare to get angry. He could only explain respectfully, "The two masters have just talked about Buddhist rituals with the other two masters..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.
"It's them. If I don't receive it, it won't count." The monk threatened with a cold face, "Or do you mean that you don't respect the Buddha?"
Being slapped with such a big hat, the village chief's expression suddenly changed. He knew that this matter could not end easily. He could only sigh, knowing that it would not work without bleeding.
"Two masters, please wait a moment!"
The two monks sat on the chairs. After a while, the village chief came over again with two bags and, as before, asked them to tolerate them for a few more days.
The two monks nodded with satisfaction before leaving.
Fortunately, no other monks showed up after they left this time, which made the village chief relieved.
Then, the village chief summoned the villagers and told them about the incident.
"These bastards are simply disgusting."
"What should we do? If we use part of it to bribe those beasts, it will be even more difficult for us to collect the Buddhist gifts."
The so-called Buddhist ceremony is actually the shelter fee, which costs one hundred taels of silver every month. This is simply too difficult for the villagers, who cannot make that much money in a year.
But if we don't teach them, the ruined villages will be the end.
Although they advertised that they were destroyed by monsters, in fact anyone who is not a fool would know that it was the people from Xiaozen Temple who did it.
After all, it was such a coincidence that just yesterday I was rejected and today I was destroyed.
"We fought them!"
Some people couldn't help but said angrily.
"Can they win? They are monks in the foundation building stage!"
Some people were worried, and it was true that no one resisted, but the next day, they saw the monks in the foundation building stage appear and kill those who resisted, and the entire village was massacred.
"this……"
Many people were speechless. Indeed, the strongest in their village was only at the eighth or ninth level of Qi training, and any monk from the small Zen temple could kill them all.
Just when everyone was silent, the village chief looked at Xiaozhu's father, "Jiang Mu, it should be your daughter's turn to be the bride and groom this time!"
Jiang Mu's face changed greatly. The so-called female gift is to treat women as gifts. Of course, this is just what they call it. The Xiaochan Temple's term is baptism. After those women see the baptism, they will have the opportunity to be recognized by the Buddha and become saints.
female.
But in fact, they all know that this is just a lie. The women who were baptized in the past have never come back. There was a woman who was baptized in the next village who escaped, but she seemed to be tortured to an abnormal degree, and then the entire village was destroyed.
Well, no one knows if it's true.
But he knew that sending a woman to be baptized was no different from letting her die. In other words, it was more terrifying than dying. She might suffer inhuman torture there.
Jiang Mu doesn't want to give Xiaozhu away, but if he doesn't, the whole village will suffer.
