"It should be. Listening to the residents in the city, it seems that some kind of Mahayana puja will be held here." Shen Luo listened attentively to the conversations of the residents in the city, and said.

"Mahayana Dharma Assembly!" Chan'er's eyes lit up slightly. Although he came to Wuji Country to find forgotten memories, as a Buddhist disciple, he was still very interested in the Mahayana Dharma Assembly in a foreign land, and he could exchange Buddhist experience.

At this moment, a commotion came from the front, a figure staggered and walked like a lunatic, this person was wearing a worn-out clothes, his whole body was very dirty, and he gave off a bad smell.

"It's that lunatic again!"

"The Mahayana Dharma Conference will be held soon, Buddhist monks from all over the world have arrived one after another, why are you letting this lunatic walk around in the street!"

The pedestrians around avoided him like a god of plague, with disgust on their faces.

But this lunatic walked on the street as if no one else was around, often pulling passers-by and asking them, "How can a good man get across?".

Shen Luo frowned slightly, and was about to take Chan'er away, when the lunatic saw that Chan'er was wearing a monk's robe, his eyes lit up immediately under the parted hair, and he rushed over and grabbed Chan'er's monk's robe.

"Master, may I ask how the good man crosses?" asked the lunatic.

Chan'er was taken aback by the question, he had participated in countless dharma conferences in Jinshan Temple, and he was well versed in various Buddhist Zen techniques, but he had never encountered this Zen mechanism, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

At this moment, there was a sound of orderly footsteps "squeaking" from the front, but it was a group of soldiers running over quickly.

"It's him, take him away!" The leading squad leader pointed at the lunatic and shouted.

Several soldiers rushed forward immediately, grabbed the lunatic, and dragged him down hurriedly.

But the lunatic grabbed Chan'er's sleeve tightly, and with a "chi la", tore off a large piece of cloth.

"How can a good man cross?"

"How can a good man cross?"

The lunatic yelled at Chan'er, his voice hoarse.

Chapter 0674 Golden Monk

"Three, that lunatic is rude and tore the master's clothes, and the villain is here to apologize." The team leader saw Chan'er in a Buddhist Zen attire, rushed over, bowed and saluted the three of them , said.

Although Chan'er is young, the team leader does not dare to underestimate him. The 36 countries in the Western Regions believe in Buddhism. There are quite a few eminent monks who are young, and there are several in the Wuji country.

"The clothes are just a foreign object, and being torn by others is its own destiny, so don't care about it. But who is that crazy benefactor? Why do you ask He Du, a poor monk and a good man?" Chan'er asked after paying back a salute.

"He is a lunatic. No one knows where he came from. He has been wandering around Chigu City all these years, talking crazy, master don't care." The team leader said with a smile.

"Amitabha, this benefactor is also very pitiful, benefactor Shen, benefactor Bai, can you cure him?" Chan'er looked at the lunatic who was dragged away compassionately, chanted a Buddha's name, and turned to Shen Luo and Bai Xiao God asked.

"I checked the condition of that person just now. He is in good health. The madness must be caused by a brain problem. I'm afraid it won't be cured." Bai Xiaotian said with some embarrassment.

Chan'er heard the words and sighed, and didn't say anything more about it.

"Excuse me, where are the three of you coming here? What are you doing in Chigu City?" The captain waited for the three of them to finish speaking, and asked again.

"We came from the Tang Dynasty in the middle land, and it's the first time we came to Chigu City." Bai Xiaotian raised one hand and performed a Buddhist salute.

"Middle-earth Great Tang, are the three of you here to attend the Mahayana Dharma Conference?" The team leader's eyes lit up.

"Exactly, I wonder when the Mahayana Dharma Conference will be held?" Chan'er was about to speak, when Shen Luo beside him said first.

"The Mahayana Dharma Assembly is scheduled for May [-]th, more than ten days from now. Please follow me to the post house for a rest, the three distinguished guests. Later, the villain will notify the eminent monks of the Holy Lotus Dharma Assembly to come to condolences." Xiao Xiao The captain said hastily.

"Thank you, Your Excellency." Shen Luo said with a smile.

The team leader didn't even dare to say that he didn't dare, and immediately ordered his subordinates to find a carriage, respectfully invited the three of them to get on the carriage, and then drove towards the city in person.

"Benefactor Shen, I didn't come to Chigu City to participate in the Mahayana puja, so it's not good for you to lie like this." Chan'er said with a slight frown.

"Master Chan'er, don't be rigid. Aren't you very interested in the Mahayana Conference? We are indeed from the Middle Earth, so let's go to see what kind of grand event this Mahayana Conference is. By the way, we can explore the Chigu The bottom of the city will benefit our future actions." Shen Luo said with a smile.

"Okay." Chan'er sighed helplessly and said.

The carriage moved forward all the way and soon came to the post house.

Not far from the Mahayana Dharma Assembly, many people have lived here, all of whom are envoys and monks from various countries.

The Great Tang is a country in the middle of the earth, especially after Jin Chanzi learned the scriptures, the Mahayana truth was also introduced to the countries of the Western Regions through the Middle Earth, which made the status of the Great Tang in the Western Regions even more lofty. A good residence, an independent courtyard, and an attendant named Duke was sent to Shen Luo and the others.

"Duke, we came all the way from the Tang Dynasty, and we don't know much about the Mahayana puja. Who presided over this puja? Why are there so many people attending?" Shen Luo asked.

"This Mahayana Dharma Conference was convened by Altar Master Linda. Only with his prestige can all the holy monks from the 36 countries in the Western Regions come to participate." Duke looked longingly, as if he admired Linda very much.

"The altar master? The Linda you are talking about is the altar master of the holy lotus altar?" Shen Luo raised his eyebrows and looked at Bai Xiaotian.

Bai Xiaotian also shook his head, expressing that he didn't know this person either.

"That's right. Although Zen Master Lin Da is highly respected in the 36 countries of the Western Regions, he is not very old. He only emerged in the countries of the Western Regions more than [-] years ago. All distinguished guests are far away from the Tang Dynasty in Central China, so they probably don't know about it." Du K said.

"Oh, this Zen Master Linda seems to be a legendary figure in the Wuji Kingdom. I wonder what his origin is?" Shen Luo asked curiously.

"Zhan Master Linda was born in a small temple in our Wuji country. He was very intelligent and proficient in Buddhism since he was a child. The true meaning of Buddhism, traveling alone in the 36 Buddhist countries in the Western Regions, while killing demons and demons, while inheriting the true meaning of Buddhism, the reputation has spread far and wide. Eight years ago, a real fairy from the north was raging in the countries of the Western Regions. In destroying the country, Zen Master Linda faced this monster alone, and finally enlightened him, making this big monster submit to our Buddhist sect, and the 36 countries in the Western Regions recognized him as Zen No. 1." Duke said proudly.

"Conquer a real fairy monster!" Shen Luo was shocked.

In the mere black-bone chicken country, there are masters comparable to the real fairyland, and Bai Xiaotian doesn't feel a little moved.

"That Zen Master Lin Da is also in Chigu City now? I wonder if Master Du can introduce you to the monk? Such a great Chan, you must go to see him." Chan'er said.

"Zhan Master Linda announced a retreat a few days ago in order to prepare for the Mahayana Puja, and he may not be able to see him now. But Master Chan'er, don't worry, you will be able to see him when the Mahayana Puja is held." Duke said a little Said embarrassingly.

"Okay." Chan'er didn't force the other party either.

Shen Luo then asked Duke some questions about Chigu City and the 36 countries in the Western Regions. Although this Duke was only a mortal, he knew a lot of things, and answered them one by one for Shen Luo.

Shen Luo had gradually gained a deeper understanding of the countries in the Western Regions. When he was about to inquire about the situation of the crafting world in Chigu City, a sound of footsteps came from outside, and four or five people in scarlet monk robes walked in.

The two leading monks were tall, one of them was wearing a golden crown, and he was holding a huge Zen staff, which looked a bit nondescript.

The other person was a thin and withered old man, his hands and feet were as thin as bamboo joints, and he walked tremblingly, as if he could be blown by a gust of wind, which seemed worrying.

Shen Luo looked at the two of them, his face remained unchanged, but his heart was terrified.

Although the two of them restrained their own cultivation, his gaze changed, and he could still clearly see the state of their cultivation. Their mana radiated strongly, and their cultivation had reached the late stage of leaving their bodies, especially the withered old monk. Faintly reached the peak of leaving the body.

"Hehe, it's my Chigu City and the whole Wuji Kingdom's honor to hear that an eminent monk from the Tang Dynasty is coming. Please don't be offended if I couldn't greet you in time." The dry old monk looked at the three of Shen Luo and said with a smile.

Another golden-crowned monk also looked at the three of Shen Luo with a smile, and was about to say something when his eyes suddenly stopped on Shen Luo's eyes, deep anger appeared in the depths of his eyes, and then turned into a trace of joy, and finally all expressions Completely disappear.

Chapter 0675 Exposure

"Welcome three honored guests from the Tang Dynasty." The golden crown monk saluted the three of them, and his expression had completely regained his composure.

Although the change in the expression of the golden crown monk just now was just a moment, if he had sunk before, he might not have been able to detect it, but now he has amazing eyesight, and he can see a series of changes in the other party's expression in his eyes, without missing a single bit.

"Why did this person look at me like that just now? Could it be that he recognizes me?" Shen Luo thought to himself.

He asked himself that he had never been to the Western Regions before, if there was any enemy in the Western Regions, that would be the yellow-faced monk from Baijun City, could it be that the yellow-faced monk had something to do with this golden-crowned monk?

He had these thoughts in his mind, but he didn't show it on his face, he followed Chan'er and Bai Xiaotian to return the salute.

"Great masters, are you being polite, I don't know your dharma names?" Bai Xiaotian asked.

"Old Nalongtan, this is Zen Master Baoshan." Monk Jinguan laughed.

"So it's Zen Master Longtan, Zen Master Baoshan, you're being polite." Bai Xiaotian said with a smile.

Bai Xiaotian and Chan'er are both members of the Zen sect, and they chatted quite harmoniously with these monks. Shen Luo knew little about Buddhism, so he stood aside and listened quietly.

Zen Master Longtan and Baoshan came here this time mainly to welcome Chaner and others, and to welcome them to the Mahayana Dharma Assembly, so they didn't stay here for a long time. After talking for a while, they quickly said goodbye and left.

Shen Luo watched the group leave with flickering eyes.

When the few people were talking just now, although the Zen master Longtan didn't look at him, he felt that the other party was always observing him, as if he was confirming something.

After watching the monks leave, Chan'er was a little tired due to the day's driving, so he said goodbye to Shen Luo and went down to rest.

Bai Xiaotian was not tired, and he was very interested in Chigu City, so he planned to visit the city.

Shen Luo stayed at the residence, leaving behind to protect Chan'er's safety. They had already made a private agreement to take turns staying by Chan'er's side.

"Duke, are Zen Master Longtan and Zen Master Baoshan from the Holy Lotus Dharma Altar?" Shen Luo asked Duke after rewarding him with a large ingot of silver.

"Thank you, senior! You guessed right, Zen Master Longtan and Zen Master Baoshan are the guardians of the holy lotus altar, second only to Zen Master Linda." Duke saw such a big silver ingot, his eyes straightened, After thanking him, he said respectfully.

"Since Zen Master Linda is in retreat, are these two people handling the usual affairs of the Holy Lotus Altar?" Shen Luo asked.

"Yes, it is said that Zen Master Longtan is in charge of external affairs, and Zen Master Baoshan is in charge of the internal affairs of the main altar of Chigu City." Although Duke was surprised that Shen Luo asked this question, he was sensible enough not to ask about the large ingot of silver just now.

Shen Luo asked a few more questions about Longtan, Baoshan and Chigu City, and Duke answered them one by one.

"By the way, Duke, do you know Baijun City?" Shen Luo finally asked casually.

"Baijun City? As I know, it is a city on the border of our country." Duke replied after thinking for a while.

"Is the sub-altar of the holy lotus altar in Baijun City and Zen Master Longtan very close?" Shen Luo continued to ask.

"Senior Shen, you are the right person to ask this question. Lamo, the sub altar master of Baijun City, is the nephew of Zen master Longtan. I heard about it by accident during a short-term job." Duke said excitedly.

When Shen Luo heard this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He then asked Duke about the appearance of Lamo, who was the yellow-faced monk, and finally confirmed that his guess was correct. Zen Master Longtan already knew about Baijun City, so he became hostile to him.

Seeing that Shen Luo didn't have any questions to ask again, Duke took the opportunity to retreat.

Shen Luo sat in the hall, his face became cloudy and uncertain, thinking about the current situation in his heart.

The Zen Master Longtan obviously held a lot of hostility towards him, and this holy lotus altar was strange, he felt that there was something strange about it, but what Chan'er was looking for was in Chigu City, and he couldn't leave no matter what. Fortunately, the Mahayana Dharma Conference will be held in Chigu City, and monks from 36 countries in the Western Regions will gather. It is not easy for Zen Master Longtan to challenge him, so let's take one step at a time.

He didn't think much about it next, he set up a restraint in the hall, took out the jasper gourd with his hands, and began to sacrifice it.

The current situation is delicate, and it is good to improve a little strength.

……

Zen Master Longtan left the post house, and soon returned to his own residence at the Holy Lotus Altar, a luxurious and majestic hall.

"Get down!" He shouted with a gloomy expression, several attendants left in panic, and soon he was the only one left in the room.

He paced back and forth in the room for a few steps, then stopped suddenly and clapped his hands.

"Master, are you looking for me?" A moment later, a handsome young monk in a white robe came over.

"The person who took away the thousand-year-old snake charm has been found." Long Tan glanced at the white-robed monk and said calmly.

"Really? That's great, who is the other party? Disciple go and capture him immediately, and take back the snake charm!" The white-robed monk was overjoyed and said immediately.

"It's too late, the snake gall of the Thousand Year Snake Charm has been swallowed by that person." Long Tan said.

"What, that man dared to do that! A thousand cuts to pieces is not enough to atone for his crime." The white-robed monk was furious, and his originally gentle face suddenly became vicious, as if he had suddenly turned into a fierce ghost of Shura.

"Don't worry, the situation is not desperate yet. The man just took the snake gall, but didn't fully absorb it. The power of the snake gall resides in his eyes. If he can get his eyes back, he can recover most of the power of the snake gall." .” Chan Master Longtan waved his hand and said.

"That's good, since that's the case, let's act quickly and dig out the thief's eyes." The white-robed monk said happily.

"If it was easy to make a move, I would have done it a long time ago. The thief is a few monks from the Eastern Tang Dynasty who came to participate in the Mahayana Dharma Assembly. They are now living in the post house. There are eminent monks from all over the world gathered in the post house. People with advanced cultivation Quite a few, it’s hard to do anything, you send people to monitor them day and night, and when they come to Chigu City, they will definitely move around, as soon as the other party leaves the post, notify me immediately, this is the portrait of the little thief." Zen Master Longtan said coldly. Said, and then took out a piece of white jade, and a figure appeared on it, it was Shen Luo.

"Yes." The white-robed monk took the jade and promised to go down.

"Wait a minute." A golden light flashed in the room, and a figure appeared out of nowhere, it was Zen Master Baoshan.

"Baoshan, you're not staying in your Baoshan Palace, what are you doing here?" Chan Master Longtan frowned, then snorted angrily.

"The master of Linda Altar has a Buddha's decree, and he is not allowed to monitor the three people of Dongtu, nor do they have any malicious actions against them." Zen Master Baoshan took out a golden jade talisman and said lightly.

When Zen Master Longtan saw the golden jade talisman, his expression changed drastically, and he knelt down on the ground hastily.

The white-robed monk immediately fell to his knees, not daring to lift his head.

"Linda altar master has an order, and his subordinates naturally dare not disobey, but if it takes a while longer, my snake gall power will not be able to get back... this..." Chan Master Longtan murmured.

"You dare to disobey Linda altar master's orders!" Zen Master Baoshan said lightly.

"No, I don't dare, my subordinates obey." Zen Master Longtan immediately agreed with a layer of cold sweat on his face.

Zen Master Baoshan snorted, put away the jade talisman, and disappeared in a flash.

Zen Master Longtan and the white-robed monk stood up, their faces were very ugly, but they dared not say a word.

Chapter 0676 Flower Boss

Inside the post house, Shen Luo sat cross-legged, practicing with his eyes closed.

Half a day passed in the blink of an eye, and Bai Xiaotian hadn't come back yet.

With a soft "squeak", Chan'er came out from inside.
