In the bustling inner city, there was an endless stream of people coming and going.

Different from the silence outside the ceremony, most residents in the city at this time walked out of their homes and headed towards the central square, the most spacious and spacious place in the city.

Looking from a distance, the square is located exactly in the heart of the city. It covers a very wide area, about dozens of miles in length. It is constantly releasing dazzling Zen light, which is colorful and very dazzling.

If the entire city hadn't been artificially hidden by isolation rituals, the Zen light that had almost become a substance could be seen hundreds of miles away.

The light pillar covers the sky and connects the sky and the earth. Although it is constantly emitting light and heat, when you get closer, you will not be stimulated by it. It is as if within a certain area, the effects of Zen light will be automatically eliminated.

The dazzling effect.

The city is constantly reverberating with vague Buddhist verses, and some people are reciting scriptures with awe-inspiring and fearless sounds, which makes people feel soaring when they hear it. Diseases, pains, and sorrows are gone, and they can't help but have the thought of taking refuge in their hearts.

No wonder the residents all unanimously moved towards the central square where the Zen lights and the voices of the sermons were the clearest. This kind of momentum could only be called a miracle.

"Is the city lord of this city also on the side of Lingshan?" Linnard thought as the four masters and disciples slowly approached the edge of the city wall.

The reason why I think so is mainly derived based on several factors.

"Obviously the Heavenly Court had ordered the arrest of scripture collectors a long time ago, but this city brazenly hosted a group of scripture collectors.

Moreover, they also deliberately held activities similar to Dharma meetings in the city, and used isolation rituals to shield them from outside prying eyes. Obviously they don’t want people to know what is going on in their city, and they are clearly afraid of being found out by people in heaven.”

After thinking about it, he came to the foot of the city.

"Who!"

A soldier standing tall with angry eyes shouted condescendingly, and countless strange eyes instantly focused on this strange team of four.

Since everyone is transformed by Linnard, he can almost fully experience the malice behind every glance.

'Such an extreme reaction seems to be exactly what I thought.'

He controlled the monk in white to dismount, bowed slowly, and said: "The poor monk Xuanzang is passing through your place. If you are tired from the journey, can you go to the city to rest for a while?"

"Monk?"

"It's a monk!"

"Could it be...that he is a Buddhist messenger?"

"Sir, here are some weird guys calling themselves monks!"

"..."

Linard's ears twitched slightly, and he could hear the sounds of countless people running back and forth and reporting behind this thick city wall.

After a while, on the city wall thousands of feet above, the first stern voice was replaced by a steady and powerful voice.

"Master, you have been waiting for a long time. We will open the city gate for you now."

Squeak——

The bluestone brick city wall in front of him surged inward, making a tooth-breaking sound of metal friction. Looking carefully, it turned out that the inner parts of these bricks were copper-colored, and the outer stones were traces of weathering.

This city wall is controlled by the human heart and is very convenient. It just opened a doorway for him that can accommodate the four masters and disciples to pass through.

A few people kept silent, leading their horses and carrying their luggage and slowly entered the city.

The first thing that hit his face was a thick fog, which blocked people's senses and made him seem lost all of a sudden. If Linnard hadn't been able to clearly sense that his puppet was still staying by his side, I'm afraid even he would have mistaken it.

I thought I was completely isolated.

The wall tiles behind him slammed shut, as if they had never been opened.

A few people stopped at the base of the outer city wall, and the thick fog in front of them slowly dissipated.

What you see is a desolate and lonely wilderness scene. Looking back, you can vaguely see countless soldiers standing on the city wall, not moving at all.

"master!"

A steady and powerful voice came from afar, condescendingly: "It's not far from here, where the inner city of Ning'an City is located. There are some wild animals on the road, so you need to be careful. We still have responsibilities, so we won't escort them.

"

A smile appeared on the corner of Linnard's mouth. He controlled the monk in white to bow slowly, agreed and then continued on his way.

And he himself was wearing Sha Wu's skin, picked up his luggage on his body, and looked at the thousand-foot-high city wall from a distance.

Strong resentment was constantly escaping from the top of the city. In his field of vision, countless corpses of defeated soldiers were forcibly fixed in place in various ways. It looked as if soldiers were still standing guard.

Same.

"This city is not simple."

This was the first time he had discovered something in this world that could deceive his perception. When he was far away, Linard really thought that the soldiers on the wall were real people.

It wasn't until he came face to face that he discovered the clues. He secretly used his spiritual tentacles to peek around and confirmed that there wasn't even a single living person on the outer city wall.

"I wonder what the city is like?"

As the strange voice on the city wall said, there were indeed many tigers, leopards, and wild beasts on the road. But most of them were ordinary beasts, and even some weak monks could probably deal with them. And most of them were sick.

It looks like malnutrition.

It was only when we approached the foot of the inner city wall that we saw someone appear.

This time, the guarding soldiers did not criticize too much and seemed to be well prepared. After some ordinary interrogation, they were allowed to enter Ning'an City.

During this process, Linnard had been trying to observe the two soldiers who looked like door gods in front of him, trying to find evidence from them that they were not human.

However, to his surprise, after having close contact with the people in Ning'an City, he found it difficult to find out their suspicions.

No matter how you look at it, the two soldiers who appeared in front of him here are no different from the natives of the plane he saw in Qingluo City, except for being tall and burly and looking a little domineering.

They are just two ordinary people whose strength is about the level of a bishop. They are probably not at a low level, so they can be sent to guard the entrance and exit of the inner city without having to go to the outer city wall to suffer.

"What are you looking at? Come in quickly. Today is the day when Master Tripitaka is giving lectures. I guess you came all the way here because you heard the news, right?"

A soldier with a dark face and a calm look clenched the weapon in his hand, and glanced at Linard who was quietly sizing him up with his cold eyes.

"Can you detect my prying eyes?" Linnard was startled and realized that something seemed wrong.

No matter how he sensed this person's strength, Ding Po Tian was just a pawn of around the bishop level, which was pretty good among ordinary people.

However, if a mere bishop could detect Lynard's secret peeping, it would be a bit too despising his mental strength which is now comparable to that of an immortal.

"Go, go, don't block it here."

The other man had a fair complexion, looked quite ancient, and had a fluttering beard. He pushed the monk in white roughly, raised his eyebrows, and said, "You're not leaving yet?"

"..."

All four of them were controlled by Linnard. He didn't bother too much. He turned around, looked at the flow of people, and headed towards the center of the city.

For some reason, the moment he turned around completely, he clearly felt the two guards behind him showing sinister smiles.

However, when he instantly turned his head to look, he found that the two soldiers had their backs to him, completely invisible.

‘Something’s wrong, something’s wrong.’ While controlling the four men and one horse to move forward, Linnard’s inner sense of crisis quietly emerged.

I originally thought it was just a simple trip to identify the authenticity of Buddhist scripture seekers, but it was completely overturned after I encountered several things in the city.

He felt a little creepy, as if he had accidentally entered a forbidden place in life.

The combination of his originally invincible mental power and his true vision gave Linnard the confidence to see through all illusions.

However, in this weird Ning'an City, Linnard found that he was a little unsure whether the people living in this city were humans or ghosts.

It is clear that no matter how you look at it, it meets the standards of a living person. The heartbeat, breathing, blood surge, pulse, heat, and even the soul and spiritual energy reactions are all normal.

But in his sea of ​​consciousness, his spiritual sense was beating wildly, warning him that there was something wrong with these people.

However, he was proud of his observation skills, but it was difficult for him to find out what the problem was with these people.

'Did I overlook something?'

Several puppets racked their brains to think. The one with a stick and a sharp mouth suddenly woke up and whispered softly: "Origin!"

'Yes, the origin!' As soon as he started to think about it, Linnard realized that his back was wet unknowingly. He murmured to himself: "This city was shrouded in an isolation ceremony and completely cut off from the outside world.

space."

Tianhe Shrine is built on a mountain, and the gathering place at the foot of the mountain is crowded with people. The liveliness is eye-catching and can be compared to a market.

Linard led the horse and pulled over a passerby to ask what happened.

When the passerby saw Linnard's weapons and horses, he immediately showed a restrained and flattering smile - he knew at a glance that he was a big shot that he couldn't afford to offend.

In this era, having weapons is okay, but having horses is terrible.

What's more, the Shenjun looks very extraordinary. In modern society, it is a super luxury car.

The passerby's face turned into a chrysanthemum smile: "Sir, do you know the pilgrims?" That tone was as if he was talking about Amway.

"Prayer?" Linard was stunned and instinctively looked at the monk.

Isn’t that right? They just arrived and the news about the pilgrims spread?

Apparently no one was following me along the way.

"I should have heard of a big shot like you before." Passerby Balabala briefly explained what a Buddhist Buddhist is.

It's similar to what Zi Yunwei said, a savior or something like that.
