to say hello.Seeing Zhang Liyang agree, Xiao Heshan did not linger. He roused the other guards while drawing his saber from his waist, his eyes filled with a savage killing intent.To avoid being dist..."Amitabha Buddha, this is a pure land of Buddhism. Please refrain from making loud noises, donor!"

You are being outrageous!

When Yuan Li was insulted by two monks, he immediately flew into a rage. At the same time, a murderous aura erupted from him and surged towards the two monks.

These two welcoming monks, how could they withstand the murderous aura of Yuan Li, a battlefield killing general Their faces turned pale instantly and they retreated several steps.

"You... you're so bold, to run wild in my island temple!"

Leaning against Daoist temple, the two monks, though pale-faced, pointed at Yuan Li with grim expressions. There was no trace of Buddhist compassion left on their faces.

The commotion at the foot of the mountain quickly attracted the attention of those living on top. Just as Yuan Li and the two monks were about to draw their swords, a middle-aged monk walked down from the mountain.

"Amitabha, the two of you, step back!"

"See Master Uncle."

Although they had unwillingness on their faces, they dared not disobey what their master uncle said, so they could only withdraw.

"Amitabha Buddha, I am truly sorry. My disciples are ignorant of proper etiquette. Please forgive them, messenger."

Sitting on his horse, Zhang Liyang had remained silent until now. He glanced at the middle-aged monk and then a smile appeared on his face as he leaped off his horse and walked forward. "Haha... where, where. It was our people who were reckless and crashed into this sacred place."

"If the messenger doesn't mind, would you please come inside the temple Our vegetarian meal is quite tasty."

"Then I'll be going." Zhang Liyang nodded and then turned to look behind him, "Yuan Li, you bring people here to wait. I can go in alone."

"Sir..."

"That's settled, you should know how reckless you are. What if you cause more trouble"

After finishing his sentence, Zhang Liyang turned and followed the monk into Dao Kong Temple, while Yuan Li watched Zhang Liyang’s gesture from behind with a thoughtful look.

Not until Zhang Liyang's figure disappeared from sight did the people behind Yuan Li speak in hushed tones, "My lord, wouldn't it be too dangerous for Zhang to go in alone"

"Don't worry, as long as we don't go in, the adults won't be too dangerous."

"Hmm"

Ignoring his bewildered subordinates, Yuan Li waved his hand and retreated two li with his men. He also dispatched two of his men, "You continue to retreat five more li. If you find anything unusual here, ignore it and return to Flying Dragon City at the fastest speed to inform Princess about this matter. Remember"

Remember!

This is what Zhang Liyang meant when he called Yuan Li with his gesture, “Wait and be vigilant!”

The scenery inside the temple is much more beautiful than what you see outside.

Pavilions, towers and balconies, with lush trees casting shade. Beneath the wispy blue smoke, golden glazed tiles and red brick walls echo each other.

"To see these green trees in this barren land of the Northwest really brings a feeling of relief."

"How did you guys manage to keep your trees alive All the other trees are bare, but yours still have leaves."

"It's just a few small tricks, nothing to make the messengers laugh."

He claimed it was a small trick, but Zhang Liyang clearly saw the slight upward turn of the middle-aged monk's lips.

"Messenger, this is our main hall. Should we go in to light incense"

Of course, I have great respect for the Buddha and the Buddhist teachings.

"Please!"

Perhaps Zhang Liyang's last words pleased the middle-aged monk, and a smile spread across his face.

"What a magnificent golden Buddha!"

The main hall is big, but once you walk inside, you realize the space inside is even bigger!

The roof, rounded and arched, was covered with gilded carvings. Beneath the center of the roof lay a giant golden Buddha statue.

The Great Buddha is over six meters tall. Its whole body is gilded, and under the surrounding candlelight, it reflects a golden glow.

In the entire hall, there is only this golden Buddha. The emptiness around it further highlights the solemnity and majesty of the Buddha.

Lighting incense, Zhang Liyang bowed to the golden Buddha and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.

"Master, this doesn't seem like the Buddha of the Great Sun Tathagata, does it"

"The messenger has good eyesight! This is indeed not the Tathagata Buddha, but the Vairocana Bodhisattva!"

"Oh What do you mean"

"There's nothing to say, our Dàokǔng Temple simply serves the Vācūpasvīryabhūta."

"Oh, I see."

Zhang Liyang nodded, saying he understood, but in his heart, he was completely baffled. "What the hell Who is this Void-Hidden Bodhisattva I've never heard of him."

Leaving the main hall, the monk took Zhang Liyang to visit some other places.

It has to be said, the island temple is indeed wealthier than the previous two. Even the number of visitors surpasses the combined total of the first two.

That's kinda interesting.

Zhang Liyang's heart stirred, and afterward, his footsteps no longer followed the middle-aged monk. Instead, like a child, he wandered off onto another path as he walked.

"Master, what is that building"

“Oh, that’s the scripture pavilion of my temple.”

"May I come in"

"I'm sorry, but this is not possible."

What is that

"Relic Pagoda."

"Can I go in"

"I beg your pardon, messenger."

What about this

"Excuse me, messenger."

Zhang Liyang, who had originally been walking behind, was now in front of the monk, running around within the temple. However, many areas were blocked by the middle-aged monk, preventing Zhang Liyang from getting closer.

To this, Zhang Liyang did not make any hard demands, but obediently turned and walked to another place.

It seems Zhang Liyang was a bit overwhelmed. The middle-aged monk hurriedly grabbed Zhang Liyang, who wanted to go somewhere else, and said, "Messenger, it's almost time. The vegetarian meal is ready. Let's go have our meal."

Between half-hearted explanations, Zhang Liyang was brought to the dining hall of Dao Kong Temple by a middle-aged monk.

At this time, monks had already come to eat. At a glance, they were densely packed with shaved heads.

"Well done! There must be two or three hundred people here!"

Sitting alone at a table, Zhang Liyang faced a middle-aged monk and ate a vegetarian meal.

To be honest, Zhang Liyang doesn't like eating this light vegetarian meal. He prefers meat and heavier, spicier dishes more.

After hastily finishing his vegetarian meal, Zhang Liyang had originally planned to continue strolling. However, he was invited by a middle-aged monk to engage in a discussion about scriptures and Buddhist teachings. At first, Zhang Liyang showed some interest, but soon he felt drowsy.

Looking at the middle-aged monk who seemed like someone he could talk to for hours, Zhang Liyang understood what the other meant and directly got up to say goodbye.

"Messenger, please forgive the hasty and inadequate reception today."

At the foot of the mountain, a middle-aged monk smiled broadly. “Next time the envoy comes, we will certainly entertain him well.”

"That's right, I think this place is great too. The air is fresh and it's a good place to find peace and quiet. I'll definitely come back in a couple of days!"

"Huh"en be acknowledged anymore."As you said, we can't let the borrowed troops attack Fei Long City!""I see." Bailinghuan snatched the fire-red token, palm-sized and blazing like a miniature flame, from L...
