Volume 3 Troubled Autumn Chapter 119 Chaoyang City is not Chaoyang
This is the world of Haotian. The Taoist Sect is the most powerful force. Not to mention the Xiling Temple, which gathers countless powerful people, but only talk about the thousands of Taoist temples scattered throughout the world. Who knows how much power the Taoist Sect hides?
On the wasteland, the Hanging Temple used more than 200 ascetic monks and several masters who were equivalent to the realm of Zhiming to chase the black carriage. The momentum was already extremely vast, and the Xiling Temple was a truly terrifying ocean.
From the moment the temple declared that Sangsang of the world was the daughter of the Hades, the ocean began to brew storms, and the craze gradually grew on the calm sea surface, until the black carriage was completely shot into pieces, and it stopped.
The vast mountains under the night separated the Yuelun Kingdom from the Tang Kingdom. Ye Hongyu stood on the highest mountain, and his robe danced with the wind, whistling, and there was no expression on his face.
The robe of the Judgment is dark red, brighter than blood and darker than night.
No matter how sharp her eyesight was, she could not see the black carriage in the valley in the distance, but she always looked in that direction, as if she had seen something very interesting and refused to look away.
Dozens of priests and knights from the West Temple knelt between the rock peaks in front of her. A deacon in black whispered to report the information about the Yuelun Kingdom. Her expression was indifferent and seemed very
I don't care, it seems that such an important thing as chasing the daughter of the Hades will not make her nervous.
I don't know how long it took, Ye Hongyu retracted his gaze and looked at the more than ten mountains around him. Among those mountains, there were 400 knights of the Xiling Temple, three great practitioners of the Mingming Realm, and ten more.
Yu Ming's powerful Taoist cultivator also came under the order and hid in the mountains following her command.
Such a powerful combination of strength can even occupy Chaoyang, the capital of Yuelun Kingdom overnight before the Buddhist sect makes any reaction. It is more than enough to deal with Sangsang, who is sick in Ning Que and Sangsang.
After the black-clothed deacon in the Judgment Department finished reporting, he still knelt on the ground, waiting for the orders of the throne, but after waiting for a long time, he did not hear the sound that made him extremely awe. He couldn't help but look up and look up.
The graceful figure on the cliff rock at the top of the peak asked respectfully: "Master God?"
Ye Hongyu didn't know what was going on. He was a little confused. He woke up after listening to this. He looked to the west again, and his lips curled slightly and said, "That guy is more intelligent than a thief. I can't guess that Taoist sect will be here.
I have an arrangement, but I am afraid I have left long ago. Since that's the case, should I wait here stupidly?"
The deacons in black were a little surprised. After hearing the words of the priest of the judging, she seemed to be ready to leave. However, the Taoist sect ambushed in this pavement ridge, which was a decree issued by the head sect himself. Who dared not to obey?
Ye Hongyu walked down the mountain.
A deputy commander of the Divine Guard stood up in surprise. Looking at the back of the divine robe that was fluttering in the wind in the night, he said, "Sir God. This is the order of the head teacher. Where are you going?"
In this Palacio, in this world, there are few people who are qualified to ask Ye Hongyu to answer questions, so she did not answer, but when she walked past the black-clad deacon, she said, "I'll go to the mud pond."
”
The black-clothed deacon is her direct subordinate. He told this person about his whereabouts to judge the affairs of the temple. This does not mean that she needs to report her whereabouts to others, even the head sect.
The people at the top of the peak looked abrupt when they heard this. Even the deacon in black showed a shocked expression and anxiously dissuaded: "Milt pond? The Thousand Mile Swamp between the Yuelun and the Golden Tent King's Court? Lord God, it's too dangerous.
, After so many years, no one has ever chosen to take that path..."
"The road that no one takes is the road that Ning Que will take."
After saying this, Ye Hongyu floated away, and the black-red robe flew in the mountain road without quietness. When it rolled up, it looked like a blood flag, and when it was calm, it looked like night. Everyone in the Xiling Temple knelt among the peaks and sent them in awe.

The capital of Yuelun Kingdom is called Chaoyang City. This name has been passed down for countless years. No one knows whether to read the morning and evening or the morning to worship, because both meanings seem to be consistent.
There is a green mountain in the north of Chaoyang City. The mountain is quite slow, but it is extremely wide and long. The vegetation in the mountains is extremely dense. Although tourists often come, there are still many deep and remote places that are deserted.
The southeast of the Yuelun Kingdom is connected with the river through a primitive forest, and the southern Jin Dynasty is connected with the water vapor in the big lake and the river, as well as the water vapor in the southern ocean, which is constantly blown into the border by the wind, and is then by the Western plateau.
The wastelands in the north and the Palacioles in the east are sealed, so they are very humid and warm.
It was late autumn, and it was already snowing heavily on the wasteland, but there was no cold and solemn atmosphere near Chaoyang City. The forests in the mountains were dense and green, looking similar to the spring days of Chang'an City.
At noon, the sun was hanging high above the sky, spreading heat to the ground. Chaoyang City and the green mountains in the north of the city became more and more hot and stuffy, and everyone felt a little depressed.
Tourists and mountain people rest in the green forests, hiding from the dry autumn days. Some children play by the springs in the forest. There are many dark-skinned ascetic monks sitting cross-legged next to the mountain road with less shade.
Some ascetic monks wore monks' robes from Baita Temple and other temples, while others came from other places and had already worn rags. However, both local and foreign lands were filled with copper bowls in front of them.
With fruits and food, these fruits and foods are naturally the offerings of the people of the Yuelun Kingdom who believe in Buddhism.
There are hundreds of banyan trees growing deep in the green mountains, and there are grass and dense shrubs under the trees. It is difficult for humans and animals to walk among them. It looks very quiet. Looking at the rotten leaves piled up on the ground, I am afraid that no one has come for decades.
Pass.
Ning Que held up the last handful leaves and carefully spread them on the ground evenly. He confirmed that there was no trace of them. Even the formation was hidden perfectly. He put his heart down and stepped on the shrub full of thorns on his right foot.
With one sweep, he swept to the flat ground several feet away and began to explain the big dark horse.
With the usual temperament of the Dark Horse, Ning Que seemed to teach children how to teach education, and he had already become annoyed, but today he listened very seriously and his eyes were very focused, and he did not miss a word.
"I don't know how long I will stay in Chaoyang City. If I find my senior brother, I will take Sangsang and him back first, and then ask my senior brother to come back to pick you up. If I can't find it, I will probably be in the city.
Wait. You stay in the mountains for a while. Don't worry, I won't leave you alone. Thank you for your hard work."
Ning Que hugged the big black horse's neck and patted it gently. He said with emotion, then picked up a blue cloth bag and tied it to the big black horse's neck. Inside was the small amount of food such as Huangguoshan ginseng in the carriage.
.
The big dark horse rubbed his face, then neighed at Sangsang under the tree, turned around and walked towards the deep mountains behind the dense forest, and swung gently toward the blue cloth bag.
Watching the figure of the big dark horse disappear deep in the green mountains, Ning Que walked back under the banyan tree and carried Sangsang, tied each other tightly with a strong rope, lifted his heavy luggage, and walked towards the city at the foot of the mountain.

From the monarch to the peddlers and peddlers, the Moonland Kingdom believed in the Buddhist sect. They pursued a state of being uncontested and peaceful, and were famous for their low-key and peacefulness. Although the Dahe Kingdom, which had a feud with the Moonland, would definitely not think so. But at least in the Moonland.
There are very few things like rebellion by powerful officials or shocking bloody cases.
It is precisely because of this special concept or pursuit that a Xiongcheng Fortress was built on the border border with the Tang Kingdom and the Right Chanting Royal Court. Many cities in the Yuelun Kingdom do not have city walls, and even the capital Chaoyang does not have city walls, but they are just on the side.
A simple bamboo fence was built in the direction of Daqingshan to protect animals.
Travelers who have been to Chaoyang City and Chang'an City always like to compare these two capitals together. It is not that Chaoyang City is as majestic as Chang'an City, but because Chaoyang City is on the other extreme.
Chaoyang City had no walls, so naturally there was no city gate. The soldiers who were in charge of collecting commercial taxes put a few tables and umbrellas on the official road, which were used as tax customs.
Because of the warm seasons, the officials always looked lazy. Some soldiers even lie openly in their clothes and sleep under the trees by the road. Everything seemed so casual and unruly, but the Yuelun Kingdom court was the one who made them look so careless.
I am proud to mention that Chaoyang City collects even more taxes every year than Chang'an City.
This is naturally not because Chaoyang City is more developed in commerce than Chang'an City, nor because tax officials are more diligent, nor because the people of Yuelun Country have the consciousness of paying taxes automatically to share the country's worries. There is actually no secret to this.
It’s just because Yuelun Kingdom levies ten times the taxation than Tang Kingdom.
Such a scattered and uncontested country, such an inefficient and corrupt court, such an open and chaotic capital, and even the wild elephant that occasionally comes out to find food, can't resist any foreign enemies?
If the Buddha Sect had not mediated it, the Yuelun Kingdom would have been destroyed by the cavalry of the Right Treasure Royal Court a thousand years ago. If it weren't for the Xiling Temple's partial gang, it might have even been defeated by the much weaker Dahe Kingdom.
Chaoyang City is an unguarded capital, with wind and rain. Fortunately, it has a superior geographical location. There have been no storms and disasters for many years, and people can enter and exit at will. However, most people are timid in and out of Buddhism, and few people dare to try to escape.
Going into the city, avoiding the heavy taxes collected by the court.
One day in late autumn, a white cloud floated into Chaoyang City. I can't control the matter on the ground for the time being. Naturally, no one will notice that there is only a tax guard in the sky, lying on the ground basking in the sun, looking at the flower in the air
The two ends of the white clouds are pointed and the middle is very thick, like a spindle, and they smile foolishly.
Directly under the white cloud, Ning Que carried Sangsang on his back, holding a paper umbrella that he had found from somewhere, and walked into Chaoyang City smoothly, with a faint shadow covered with his body.
The air in Chaoyang City was filled with the smell of spices, and Buddhist temples could be seen everywhere. The beautiful white pagodas above the temple wall and the small Buddhist niches beside the road were inlaid with many precious gems. The beggar holding a broken bowl wandered casually with a calm expression.
, but no one looked at the gems, and no one tried to pry one from it.
Sangsang's head was placed on Ning Que's shoulder, and he looked at the picture in front of him, and murmured: "It's indeed the legendary Buddha's kingdom, and even beggars have such moral character."
Ning Que looked at an old beggar whose hands were chopped off by sharp weapons in the corner of the street and said, "This only shows two possibilities. When beggars are so lazy to accept their fate, they are destined to be beggars for the rest of their lives, or they know very well that they would steal them.
Gems can't be sold out of clouds, and they will be punished terrible."
