"Master, you and them are companions? The little one has eyes and doesn't know Taishan, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, please enter the city!" The blackmailing soldier smiled all over his face, and immediately moved out of the way, his attitude was completely different from before. different.

The rest of the soldiers put away their laughter, and saluted Chan'er with a devout expression.

Chan'er also returned a Buddhist ceremony to several people. Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian didn't know why, but it was a good thing to avoid a trouble, so they immediately dragged Chan'er into the city.

The city of Baijun is large on high ground, and Shen Luo thought that the city would be quite prosperous, but when he entered it, he saw that the roads in the city were narrow and dirty, the houses on both sides were low-eaves, mixed with people and animals, there were very few shops, and even if there were, they were very dilapidated. The lives of the people seem to be extremely difficult.

It's just that it's different from the dilapidated houses of the common people. There are many temples in the city, and all of them are built with thousands of Dharma temples, dense treasures, faint Sanskrit sounds, and the incense is extremely prosperous.

Chan'er was dressed as an eminent monk. Although he was young, he had an extraordinary bearing. Seeing the three of them, the residents of the city immediately gave way and saluted Chan'er respectfully.

Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian looked at each other, and they suddenly realized that the status of monks in Baijun City was so high, no wonder those blackmailing soldiers at the city gate immediately gave way as soon as they saw Chan'er.

"This city is located at the center of the Silk Road, so it should be quite prosperous. How can life be so poor, but Buddhism is so prosperous? It's really strange." Bai Xiaotian was very surprised when he saw this scene.

"Amitabha, it's really strange." Chan'er nodded.

"What's so strange about this is that the land in the Western Regions is poor, and they are far less prosperous than the middle land. As for trade, look at the virtues of the soldiers guarding the city. Which middle-earth merchant dares to come here? I'm afraid they won't be able to come here if they are sold. Go somewhere reasonable." Chan'er said with a sneer on the beads on his wrist.

After hearing this, Chan'er sighed and recited the Buddha's name softly.

"It's not too late to check the situation here later, it's getting late now, let's find a place to live first." Shen Luo said.

"Alright." Bai Xiaotian also agreed.

"Both benefactors, go and find a place to live. The young monk is a foreigner, so I will go to the temple in front of me to stay overnight. We will meet here tomorrow." Chan'er said.

It was only then that Shen Luo remembered that with Zen'er accompanying him, it was really not appropriate to go to an inn to stay overnight.

"Master Jinchan, your safety can't be sloppy, how about this, I will go to the temple with the master to stay overnight, Brother Shen, you can find another place to live in the city, and by the way, ask about the situation in Wuji Kingdom." Bai Xiaotian said.

"Alright." Shen Luo was thinking about it, and immediately nodded in agreement.

So, the three broke up, Shen Luo searched for a long time in the city, and finally found an inn to stay.

The inn is not big, except for the boss, there are only two employees, maybe there have been no guests for too long, the boss personally sent Shen Luo to the room, and brought tea and dinner graciously.

"Boss, this is the first time for Shen to come to the Black Chicken Country, but I heard that the Black Chicken Country is a large country in the Western Regions in the Tang Dynasty. It is located in an important place for silk business exchanges. It should be quite prosperous. Why is Baijun City so dilapidated here? ?” Shen Luo asked the boss as a reward of some money.

"Guest officer, do you come from the Shang Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty? No wonder you are talented! Alas, when it comes to our Wuji Kingdom, it used to be very prosperous, but in recent years, there have been years of natural disasters, bandits and monsters are rampant, the people are in dire straits, and foreign business travelers do not come. It has become what it is now." The innkeeper sighed.

"Oh, there are monsters attacking!" Shen Luo stared.

"Yeah, for some reason these years, a lot of monsters have emerged from many places in Wuji Kingdom. Although the monks at the Holy Lotus Altar tried their best to eliminate the monsters, there are too many monsters, and they can't kill them all. Maybe it's I waited for my heart to serve the Holy Lord to be dishonest, so that such disasters would happen." The boss said with his hands clasped together.

"Sacred Lotus altar? What is that? A Buddhist temple?" Shen Luo asked a little strangely.

"Ah, guest officer, don't you know about the holy lotus altar? I have heard that Buddhism flourished in the Tang Dynasty, but I didn't expect the guest officer to be so ignorant." The innkeeper's face darkened, as if he was very angry at Shen Luo's ignorance of the holy lotus altar, and he waved his sleeves and go.

Shen Luo raised his eyebrows, but he didn't care, he got up and closed the door.

It was already dark outside, this place was no different than Chang'an, most of the residents in the city had already fallen asleep, he shot out from the window, turned into a black shadow and disappeared soundlessly in the distance.

After most of the night, when the sky was about to dawn, he flew back from the outside with a few thick books in his hand.

Shen Luo walked around the city just now, listened to some private discussions of the people in the city, and understood some of the situation in the city from another angle.

As for these books, they found books recording history from several small temples.

He flipped through these books and read them quickly. With his current spiritual power, he could read ten lines at a glance. He quickly read all the books, and a look of amazement flashed across his face.

This black-bone chicken country is now poor and weak, and the troubled times are difficult. All the people in the country are addicted to Buddhism in order to seek inner liberation. Buddhism here is more prosperous than in the Tang Dynasty.

The holy lotus altar is the current state religion of Wuji country, and most of the temples in Baijun City are branch temples of the holy lotus altar.

"Sacred Lotus Altar?" Shen Luo frowned.

In troubled times, the people are suffering, so it is not impossible to find one or two spiritual sustenance, but judging from his inquiries, this sacred lotus altar is quite evil, and it is completely different from the Huasheng Temple and Jinshan Temple in Middle Earth. The altar does not promote the equality of all beings, but thinks that the people in the Holy Lotus Altar are holy monks, one level higher than ordinary people, and the holy lotus altar is not free for the people to eliminate demons, and a large amount of money is charged every time they make a move .

He saw a record in a book that there was a monster in a city of the Wuji Kingdom. The city lord asked the holy monk at the Holy Lotus Altar to help. The holy monk asked for half of the city's savings. Although the city lord was unwilling , and finally took out half of the wealth, and then got rid of that evildoer.

Accumulating wealth like this can be regarded as robbery in the Tang Dynasty, but the Holy Lotus Altar described this behavior as offering sacrifices to the Holy Lord, and often brainwashed the people. The common people gradually accepted this view.

Chapter 0667

Shen Luo was very speechless when the people of the Wuji Kingdom were willing to accept such reality, but this was the internal affairs of other countries, and he would not step overboard and do such thankless things.

He quickly put this matter behind him and began to think about the devilish energy here.

According to Zen Master Hai Shi, when Jin Chanzi traveled westward, he felt a huge wave of demon energy in this country, and this must be a big deal.

Although according to what Li Jing said, the reincarnation time of Chi You's five demon souls is similar to the reincarnation of Buddhist scriptures, and it should have nothing to do with the fluctuation of the demonic energy, but Chi You deliberately planned to get out of trouble, and no one knew that he was releasing the five demon souls. Before the soul, is there any other action?

Moreover, there are demons everywhere in the Wuji country, far more powerful than Datang, but it is similar to the situation in the dream, which is verifying the conjecture in his heart.

Just as Shen Luo was groaning to himself, a long roar came from outside. Although it sounded very far away, the roar was full of ferocity, which still made him feel awe-inspiring.

"Not good, there are demons appearing!" He immediately got up, opened the door and walked out.

The sky outside had already started to turn pale, and the people who got up early were already walking around in the city. When they heard the roar, their complexions changed drastically.

"Monsters! Demons have appeared again!" The people in the city cried and ran towards their homes, closing their doors tightly and not daring to show their faces.

"Guest officer! Come in, another monster is coming!" The innkeeper also got up, saw Shen Luo standing outside the door, and hurriedly shouted without caring about being angry with him.

"It's okay." Shen Luo nodded and smiled at the innkeeper, looking in the direction where the voice came from.

A black spot appeared in that piece of sky, and it quickly grew bigger and turned into a tumbling black cloud. Sand and rocks were flying around the black cloud, and the wind was gusting. It looked very scary.

"This is that snake demon!" The innkeeper's complexion was pale, he ignored Shen Luo, turned around and plunged into the door, and closed the shop door heavily.

"Snake demon..." Shen Luo murmured, looking at the situation, it seemed that this monster was not coming here for the first time.

"I don't know what's going on with Chan'er?" He suddenly thought of something, and turned into a red light and swept towards a temple in the city.

When he was sneaking in the city yesterday, he had already discovered the temple where Chan'er and Bai Xiaotian were staying.

In a small temple in Baijun City, Chan'er and Bai Xiaotian had already got up and stood in a courtyard looking at the black demon clouds in the sky in the distance.

"Amitabha, I didn't expect that the countries in the Western Regions are also in a world of demons and demons. The poor and poor people here are weak. Donor Bai, if you can, please help the people in this city." Chan'er said to Bai Xiaotian.

"It should be so." Bai Xiaotian nodded immediately.

At this moment, a red sword light flew from a distance, and it came to the front in the blink of an eye, revealing a sinking figure.

"Master Chan'er, brother Bai, are you all right?"

"Brother Shen, you came at the right time." Bai Xiaotian felt relieved.

The monster in the black cloud has such an appearance, and its strength is not small. He was worried that he would have to protect Chan'er and eliminate demons by himself, and he would not be able to support it alone.

While the three of them were talking, black clouds had already flown over the Baijun City, and continued to diffuse down, covering half of the sky in an instant, covering nearly half of the Baijun City in a shadow.

A huge hissing sound came from the black cloud, as if a giant python was spitting out snake letters, and there were two lantern-sized red lights in the cloud, which looked like two demon eyes, staring at the people below. Baijun City is full of greed.

A thick evil wind shot down from the black cloud and rolled towards a house in the east of the city.

A red light flashed by Shen Luo's hand, and he was about to hit the pure Yang sword embryo to meet the enemy.

However, the top of the golden pagoda of a majestic Buddhist temple in the center of Baijun City suddenly flashed with golden light, but it was a golden crystal ball the size of a water tank inlaid on the top of the pagoda.

I saw that the sphere was covered with formation patterns, and a formation pattern suddenly lit up, and then the golden crystal ball became brighter, and a thick golden beam of light shot out from it, colliding with the falling black demon wind.

After a loud noise like thunder, the golden light dissipated in response, and the demon wind also burst open, and the two offset each other and died.

A roar came from the black cloud in the mid-air, and a bigger pitch-black demonic wind shot down from another part of the black cloud, rolling towards a building in the south of the city.

But the pattern on the south side of the golden crystal ball lit up again, and another golden light shot obliquely from the south side of the crystal ball, precisely blocking the evil wind again.

The monster in mid-air was furious, the black cloud whirred and swelled, and there was a loud puff sound, and more than a dozen monster winds swept down at the same time, turning into black pythons and rushing down to all parts of the city.

The golden crystal beads on the golden pagoda seemed to have sensed the strong threat from outside, all the patterns around them lit up, and a golden light that was several times brighter than before lit up inside the golden crystal beads, and a golden cloud appeared faintly inside the beads, spinning rapidly .

Accompanied by the whistling sound of "Wuwu", more than a dozen thick golden lights shot out from the golden crystal beads, hitting those black monster pythons, and even intercepted them one by one.

"It seems that Baijun City is not without countermeasures against monster attacks. There is the Holy Lotus Fatan Temple. Since they have countermeasures, we are outsiders after all. Let's take a look first." Shen Luo nodded slightly when he saw this scene , and then said.

"Shenglian Fatan Temple?" Bai Xiaotian was puzzled, as if he had heard this name for the first time.

"Didn't you inquire about the affairs of Baijun City and Wuji Kingdom with the monks of this temple?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.

"Of course I asked, but the monks in this temple heard that we came from the Tang Dynasty, so they kept silent and refused to say anything. They seem to be very hostile to outsiders." Bai Xiaotian said.

"So that's how it is. According to my investigation, this black-bone chicken country..." Suddenly, Shen Luo briefly told the two of the situation he had found.

"I didn't expect such a situation in Wuji. Brother Shen is right, let's take a look first, it's not appropriate to act casually." Bai Xiaotian nodded in agreement.

"If the Holy Lotus Fatan Temple loses to the monsters, we have to take action, and we can't let the people in the city suffer." Chan'er hurriedly added.

"Don't worry, it's natural." Shen Luo said.

Although the Wuji Kingdom is not the Tang Dynasty, but it belongs to the same lineage of the human race, he will not sit by and watch the people here suffer.

"No, the power of that golden crystal bead has started to weaken!" At this moment, Bai Xiaotian's expression suddenly changed.

Shen Luo and Chan'er hurriedly looked. Although the golden crystal beads on the golden pagoda were still shooting out streaks of golden light to block the black clouds in the mid-air, they were obviously much dimmer than before, and could no longer stop the attack of the evil wind in the mid-air.

"It seems that the power of the golden crystal ball is limited, we have to make a move." Shen Luo said.

At this moment, in the pagoda of the Holy Lotus Fatan Temple in Baijun City, several monks wearing tall yellow lama hats and red cassocks were sitting on the purple gold lotus platform.

These people have a faint auspicious light and lingering Sanskrit sounds, they have the air of some eminent monks, but they all have a sturdy and arrogant look on their faces, which is quite different from the monks in Central Earth.

Chapter 0668 Fighting the Monster Python

"Holy Monk Lamo, the holy lotus restraint in the city can no longer hold up, and I ask all the holy monks to take action again to drive that monster away!" An old man in a gorgeous official robe stood next to a yellow-faced monk, anxiously pleaded.

"City Lord Jingxi, it's not that we don't want to make a move, but you also know that our divine power comes from the Holy Lord. There is not much left after we expelled the demons from that place a few days ago. If you want to pray to the Holy Lord for divine power again , the sacrifice needs to be offered again." The yellow-faced monk shook his head and said helplessly.

"I have already brought half a year's savings from the City Lord's Mansion, and I ask some holy monks to accept it on behalf of the Holy Lord." The old man in fine clothes hurriedly turned to look at the two attendants behind him.

Those two men walked over carrying a box with some difficulty. After opening it, the golden light immediately shone brightly. Gold and silver were placed in most of the box, and some jade, spiritual materials and other cultivation items were placed in the corner of the box.

"Only this little?" The yellow-faced monk ignored the gold and silver, looked at the jade spiritual materials, frowned, and said calmly, as if he was not anxious about the situation outside at all.

"There are fewer and fewer business travelers in the city these days, and there are only so many in the City Lord's Mansion. After the monsters recede, I will immediately go to the rich merchants in the city. I should be able to gather some more." The old man in Chinese clothes wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said a little confidently.

The yellow-faced monk exchanged glances with several other monks, and was about to say something when a loud noise came from outside.

Several people hurriedly got up and looked outside, their expressions all changed.

The crystal beads on the golden tower in the city withstood several attacks from the black demon cloud, and finally completely exhausted their power and became dim.

An excited roar came from the black demon cloud in the midair, and a black demon wind several feet thick traversed down, turned into a giant black hand after a trickle, and rolled towards a house below.

There is a family of three hiding in this house. Before the giant hand arrived, an incomparably cold aura enveloped them. Although the three of them could not see the sky, they knew that a catastrophe was imminent, and panic and despair appeared on their faces. He hugged the family members beside him tightly, closed his eyes and waited for death.

At this critical juncture, a stream of red light flashed past, almost beyond the eyes of people, and in an instant it was beside the black demon hand, but it was a scarlet fairy sword.

A red sword light more than ten feet long rose from the fairy sword, wrapped around the black demon hand like lightning, and slashed.

"嗤啦" There was a sound of cracking silk, and the seemingly powerful black demon hand was as fragile as tofu in front of the red sword light, and was easily cut in two.

The black demon hand burst open immediately, turning into countless black air and flying away.

"Where is the cultivator from, dare to stop me!" A shrill roar came from the black cloud.

There was a blur of people beside Feijian, and Shen Luo's figure appeared out of thin air, with a stern look on his face, he didn't answer the monster in the cloud's question, and made a little trick with one hand at the Chunyang sword embryo.

The pure yang sword embryo turned around, and suddenly two streams of red light rose from the sword body. Although the two streams of red light had the same color, one showed an extremely strong masculine atmosphere, while the other was very feminine, intertwined with each other.

After the clear sound like gold and iron colliding, a huge red air sword about [-] to [-] feet long was condensed and pointed at the black cloud in the mid-air.

A wave of sword energy soaring to the sky erupted from the red air sword and spread in all directions like a huge wave.

The evil spirit in the black cloud was pressed by this sword, and it immediately drifted away as if the ice and snow under the scorching sun melted.

A gleam of joy flashed across Shen Luo's face, the power of the pure yang sword embryo increased greatly, and it was so powerful to use this yin-yang magic sword.

Seeing this scene, the monster in the black cloud seemed to be greatly shocked. The black cloud rolled and rolled, and immediately retreated towards the back.

"This is not where you can come and leave whenever you want." Shen Luo sneered, pointing his fingers.

The huge red air sword flew out immediately, several times faster than the retreat of the black cloud, and caught up with the black cloud in the blink of an eye, and slashed down in the air.

The red light burst into the sky from the Yin-Yang Magic Sword, illuminating half of the sky, and with a sound of "嗤啦", the dense black cloud covering the sky was cut in half, and the two halves of the black cloud immediately burst completely And open.

The Yin-Yang Sword not only kills ghosts, but also subdues demons. Coupled with the power of red lotus karmic fire contained in the sword embryo, it can be said to be the nemesis of all ghosts and monsters.

There was a sharp cry of pain, and the black air in the air quickly dispersed, and a huge black python appeared in the air.

The body of this python monster is forty to fifty feet long, with a thick silver horn growing on the top of its head, its whole body is covered with a layer of shiny black scales, and there are four protrusions on its abdomen, it seems that it is about to turn a snake into a dragon , looks mighty and mighty.

However, the python's eyes were blood red now, and it stared fiercely at Shen Luo, looking like it wanted to swallow it in one bite. There was a scorched black scar on the snake's belly, with blood stains looming, obviously it was injured by the Yin-Yang magic sword.
