Chapter 766

With the protection of two Spirit Transformation stages, Old An and the others returned to Kaihuang City safely and without incident.

Just like the original name of Kaihuang Temple was Erli Tun Temple, Kaihuang City was originally called Erli Tun. It was originally just an inconspicuous little place. With the efforts of several abbots of Kaihuang Temple, Erli Tun was finally built into the city of considerable scale it is today.

Unlike the cities built with blue bricks and stones in Great Xia, the cities in the Buddha Kingdom generally use heavy earth walls, which have weathered the storms, and the edges and corners have been smoothed out in the wind and sun, looking like they are about to collapse.

In fact, various stabilization and anti-enemy arrays were set up in the interlayer of the earth walls to ensure that the city walls would not collapse for a thousand years.

An unknown river runs through Kaihuang City and is the source of water for the whole city. It is said that it was diverted by Master Duanchen, the abbot.

Along the way, Lu Yang also saw many monks, shaved into bald heads, exposing half of their shoulders and arms, their skin dark red, reading scriptures while walking, looking like devout believers, which made Lu Yang very worried about their eyes.

Entering Kaihuang City, the feeling it gave people was more and more different from the cities of Great Xia. There were beauties with exotic styles of golden hair and blue eyes, with hot figures, veils on their faces, travelers with little monkeys sitting on their shoulders, snake charmers who could make snakes dance by playing flutes, and fish sellers who placed knives vertically on the cutting board and pressed the fish to hit the vertical knives to avoid killing.

"Finally, there is no sand." Meng Jingzhou let out a sigh of relief. The yellow sand all over the sky was too annoying. The city walls were set up with sand-proof arrays to block the sand from entering the city, which was much more comfortable.

But Lu Yang's spiritual space was not so lucky.

In the spiritual space, yellow sand was everywhere, forming undulating hills. A female immortal wearing golden exotic costumes hummed a song and danced gracefully, stepping on the sand with her bare feet, leaving strings of small footprints.

"Fairy, can you change less sand?" Lu Yang shouted at the top of his lungs. He was too far away from the Decayed Fairy, and he couldn't hear her without shouting.

It was hard to come to the city, and there was no sand in reality, but there was sand in this spiritual space.

The Decayed Fairy twisted her waist and came to Lu Yang: "This Immortal calls this 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do'. Look at you and Meng family kid, you are dressed differently from the people here, and people have been looking at you all the time. Look at this Immortal like this, isn't it not eye-catching?"

Lu Yang had long noticed the strange eyes of others. Just as monks from the Buddha Kingdom would be eye-catching in Great Xia, he and Old Meng were also very eye-catching walking on the street as Great Xia people.

They wanted to find a place where no one was around to change into Buddha Kingdom clothes, but they never found a suitable opportunity.

Lu Yang glanced at the Decayed Fairy who was still dancing, and soon lowered his head with a blush. It was hard not to be eye-catching like this, and he didn't know where to put his eyes.

"Do the two masters want to come to my humble home for a sit?" Old An and the others were very grateful to Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou. If they hadn't been there, they would have been buried in the mouths of sand wolves.

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou declined Old An's kindness, asked about the location of Kaihuang Temple, and went to visit Kaihuang Temple.

"Brother, walk faster!"

Lu Yang walked to the intersection, and suddenly a girl ran over, turned her head to look at her brother, and bumped into Lu Yang.

Before bumping into himself, Lu Yang performed a spell, and the gentle wind wrapped around the girl, letting her stabilize her body, neither bumping into anyone nor falling down.

"Sorry, sorry." The girl realized that she had almost offended a cultivator, and apologized hurriedly.

The girl's brother saw this and hurriedly quickened his pace: "Sorry, it's me who didn't manage my little sister well."

"Be careful when walking." Lu Yang didn't take this matter to heart.

Looking at the backs of Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou walking away, the boy's eyes were slightly vigilant: "Great Xia people..."

"Strange, why was that kid so vigilant about us just now, and said something like 'Great Xia people'?" Although Lu Yang had walked far away, the hearing at the Spirit Transformation level was so amazing that the boy's muttering could still be clearly transmitted to his ears.

"Probably hasn't seen Great Xia cultivators, or has been hurt by Great Xia cultivators?" Meng Jingzhou shrugged and said casually. Neither of them took the boy to heart.

Lu Yang and the two walked slowly through half of Kaihuang City, shopping while walking, enjoying the customs of the Buddha Kingdom. When they walked to Kaihuang Temple, it was already evening.

Kaihuang Temple was solemn, with red walls and gray tiles, and the incense was prosperous. There was incense ash in the tripod at the entrance of the temple, and a few scattered sticks.

"Two benefactors, this temple is not receiving guests, please come back tomorrow." The little novice at the entrance of the temple politely stopped the two.

Lu Yang handed the letter Kaihuang Temple sent him to the little novice: "Please tell Master Duanchen."

Master Duanchen was the abbot of Kaihuang Temple.

"Okay."

Not long after, the white-bearded old monk walked out of Kaihuang Temple in a hurry, in a hurry, shaving the little novice's head while walking: "Don't even recognize Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou, and still have the nerve to let me read the letter."

"Benefactor Lu, Benefactor Meng, long time no see, long time no see." Master Duanchen put his hands together, his face full of smiles. He was holding the mentality of trying, but didn't expect to really invite Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.

"So it's Master Duanchen." Lu Yang and the two learned Duanchen's appearance and put their hands together to return the salute.

"Two fellow Daoists, please come in." Master Duanchen made a gesture of invitation and invited the two into the temple.

The monks following Master Duanchen all wanted to squeeze to the front to see what Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou looked like, and the short ones had to stand on tiptoe.

"Didn't expect the two benefactors to come so early. The reception was not good in a hurry, I hope the two benefactors will forgive me."

At the moment, there were still two months before the Buddha Bathing Festival. Master Duanchen thought that even if the two were coming, they wouldn't come so early.

But this was a good thing. The two came early, and their Kaihuang Temple had more time to publicize the news that Lu Yang and the two were participating in the Buddha Bathing Festival, which would definitely attract many unexpected cultivators and make the Buddha Bathing Festival more lively.

"No matter, no matter. It's because we were worried about accidents on the road that delayed the itinerary, so we set off a bit early."

"Two benefactors are joking. With the cultivation of the two benefactors, it is enough to establish a sect in Great Xia. Where would you encounter any accidents?"

Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou smiled without saying a word.

Lu Yang took the initiative to change the subject: "I heard that Kaihuang City was originally called Erli Tun, and it was only through the continuous efforts of your temple that this city was built. It is truly an admirable great merit."

Master Duanchen waved his hand: "It's not any great merit. It's just that one of the abbots was the illegitimate son of a high monk in the Western Temple. That high monk helped our temple secretly to make the illegitimate son's life better, which built the scale it is today. It's all thanks to the blessings of predecessors."

"Later, the high monk passed away and left many sarira. That abbot went to compete with the Western Temple for the ownership of the sarira, and there has been no news since then."
