The demon concubine Yuan Mingzhen, this great beauty, the empress at the end of the dynasty, what is her status in the northern provinces?

Just by looking at these evil warlords, one can understand the ugly behavior of the evil sorcerers, but they haven't seen anything yet. They just heard Kong Chan say, "The demon concubine wants to perform a dance," and they all became restless.

One side was squealing, the other side was laughing lewdly, and except for a few such as "Sheng Zhongsheng" and the monks and troops under his command, everyone else showed their true colors.

If you think about it carefully, it's quite normal.

It should be noted that in the northern provinces, it is difficult for benevolent forces to come forward.

Those who can send out the army, force people to set foot in Qiantang, and try to plunder Yuan Mingzhen back are all evil demons, powerful forces and warlords. Such beings will not be able to govern the army and the world very well.

But that’s not all the case!

In Qiantang Mofo Branch Temple, three Arhats are going to hold a [Buddha Birthday Ceremony]. The main purpose is to kill all the warlords who enter Qiantang in order to refine the Great Transcendence Bodhisattva. However, if it is just a show, it will be easy for others to see it.

The truth comes.

Therefore, the three old thieves were really serious about organizing this Dharma gathering. They even went out with great fanfare and sent out many invitations.

Whether in the world of spiritual practice or in the seventy-two provinces of the mortal world, many celebrities have received invitations.

Nowadays, celebrities gather in the provincial capital of Qiantang, and no one can say a word about the grand event.

All celebrities and strongmen looked down upon those evil demons, and looked at this noisy scene with displeasure on their faces.

"Dear guests, please enter the city."

"There is no need to worry about the next three days, just enjoy it to your heart's content. This is the merit of my Buddha's birthday."

The one who said this was Cheng Luohan.

He seemed to have completely forgotten the humiliation he received from the "Dayu Zen Master" a few breaths ago.

Still wearing the dragon robe and monk's robes, playing with the skull beads, he treated everyone like a real emperor and the lord of a country.

With the demonic and tempting Buddhist chants resounding again, the provincial capital returned to its previous liveliness.

Many celebrities, warlords, and strongmen began to enter the city.

During the process, it was inevitable to discuss the confrontation between the two major Buddhist temples just now.

Those who are serious about gambling can directly start opening handicaps in private.

"Wonderful, really wonderful. Although I had guessed that Mofo Temple would hold a Buddhist birthday ceremony and clarify the legal system, it would be attacked by other Buddhist temples. I thought it would be the return of Hanshan Temple, or it might be closely related to Hanshan Temple.

Who would have expected that the leader of the Buddhist sect from Da Zi Zai Temple would come out."

"Shenxiu Buddhist disciples, more than a hundred Vajra monks, auspicious Arhats, Longmeng Arhats, and good-seeing Arhats... Hey, I'm afraid Zizai Temple is going to be ruthless."

"Hey, guess which side can win?"

"No need to guess, it must be the Mofo Temple. After all, Qiantang Province has been in their hands for many days and they have the upper hand. There is no reason to lose."

"Why not? Let's talk about the debate first. Is there any monk or nun in the world who can debate the scriptures with the one from Da Zi Zai Temple? What's more, the witch named Yanshi doesn't seem to be good at speaking skills. I'm afraid

The monk Shenxiu was about to surrender if he couldn't stand it. As for the second fight, the Wu Guo Buddhist disciple from the South China Sea was rumored to have defeated the monk Shenxiu once before, but it was just a rumor.

, it can’t be taken seriously.”

"As for the third scene, let alone that Zen Master Dayu will achieve Buddhahood in the future."

"Well said, Zen Master Dayu is really unbelievable. When I face him, I feel the urge to worship him. This shows that he is a true Buddha."

"I don't care which side wins. I only know that those girls Yuan Mingzhen must belong to my Grand Governor, and I will kill whoever robs them."

"Haha, that's really loud. Let me ask you, what if those three demon Buddhas and Arhats take action?"

"The Three Arhats want to make peace with each other, make good friends with the big forces in the northern provinces, and clearly prove the legal system. How can they make people angry just for a mere demon concubine... Even if the three of them really take action, it doesn't matter. It's just a paradise. Could it be that

Can’t I invite Master Ji Le?”

"Hehe, who isn't? Our seniors don't show up, just to show respect to the three Arhats. If necessary, I can also invite Ji Le."

"And I!"

"And I!"

…

Tao Qian, Yun Rong, the Zhen family brothers and sisters, and a group of female cultivators were also in the procession entering the city, so naturally they could hear these murmurs.

If you were elsewhere, you would laugh at these people for not knowing how high the sky is and how high they are.

But at this time, it couldn't.

Tao Qian raised his eyes and looked over. He saw a provincial city with gates on all sides, welcoming visitors from all directions.

There was a crowd of people below, and there were flying Buddhas and immortals in the sky.

In a daze, I just felt that it was the Western Paradise that was holding a Dharma festival, inviting gods, demons, monsters, and alien elves to come.

Gao Tianci, Yelu Baoshan, Shi Zhongsheng, Zhu Xun and others whom we bumped into earlier, although they have warlord status and have strong backers, they are not so conspicuous among many celebrities and strong men.

Kong Chan and Lian killed the two Arhats. After performing the drama of praising and killing the "Two Buddha Sons" and "arguing three fights in the Dharma Assembly", they no longer entertained Tao Da Zhenren with such enthusiasm.

He just sent a few demon Buddha disciples over, together with Zhen Buchi, to guide Tao Qian to his residence in the city.

Although Mr. Yuan was inside the sculpture, he had his own secret method to see what was going on in the outside world. At this time, a voice came over and he sighed:

"A world of great strife is truly a world of great strife."

"Boy, please be more discerning. Although I haven't seen an old acquaintance of the representatives of many forces here, I can see many big forces due to the influence of my energy."

"You can provoke most of them at will, whether they are overt or covert, and some are better left alone... Of course, this is because of your status as the true successor of Lingbao. You are a Taoist sect after all, and you cannot make enemies all over the world."

"But as a secret demon disciple, you don't have to worry about provoking whomever you want, and tricking whomever you want. The secret demons in the sky have never been afraid of any force."

"Let's just talk about that girl named Yanshi. If I remember correctly, she was your old mistress when you made your fortune in southern Guangdong. Don't worry about her status as a demon, a witch, and a disciple of Lian Sha. It doesn't mean anything. You secretly captured her.

, and then use the "Secret Devil to Save the Buddha and Transform into a Corpse" to save her, and you will immediately get a female Bodhisattva with a holy appearance and a lustful soul inside. You can use whatever tricks you want..."

These words sounded normal at first, but the next few sentences immediately revealed Mr. Yuan's intention of teasing Tao Qian.

The whole process of laying the groundwork was just to laugh at him, Tao Da Zhenren.

"I forgot that Master Yuan has a good background. If others find out, his identity as a disciple will not be preserved."

"Master Yuan, please be aggrieved. Put it in your bag and wait for a while."

After he finished speaking, before Mr. Yuan could scold him for being such an unworthy disciple, he took the sculpture back into the human race bag.

Then, he looked seriously at the city.

Tao Qian didn't know what Qiantang's provincial capital originally looked like.

As soon as he took a look, his expression immediately turned into one of wonder and disbelief.

The city is densely packed with neatly arranged brick and stone houses. The bricks, eaves, and tiles of each house have traces of Buddhism, or are engraved with scriptures, or have images of Arhats, Bodhisattva statues, Buddha figures, and prayer flags standing in all directions.

There are bells, wooden fish, chanting, and many other Buddhist sounds coming from almost every corner.

There are monks, lamas, bhikkhunis, Dharma protectors, Buddhas and animals in the city... They all speak the Demonic Buddha's sutras and chant the name of the Demonic Buddha.

A golden river flows through this city.

Looking back to the source, we immediately saw a towering mountain with a cloud-top golden light shining all over the city.

On the mountain wall, you can see many carved statues of Buddha, large and small.

Wherever there is flat land, there are countless pagodas, thousands? Maybe tens of thousands?

At the highest point, there is a Zen courtyard.

That golden auspicious cloud emerged from the courtyard.

There is a pair of couplets posted on the left and right sides of the courtyard, with the following books on the left and right:

The Pure Land method is rare and difficult to value, and you will become a Buddha in your next rebirth.

In this world, life and death are important matters, so why don’t you recite the Buddha’s name quickly?

…

"What a pure land Buddhist city, what a Buddhist kingdom on earth."

The few Mofozi who were responsible for welcoming Tao Qian, some were fat, thin, or wretched, were originally unhappy with this country bumpkin from the South China Sea.

Now that I heard his exclamation, I saw that he really looked like a country bumpkin coming to the city.

I laughed secretly in my heart, and my hostility was reduced a bit.

He opened his mouth one after another, introducing himself and boasting.

A few people were talking about it, but they didn't realize it.

Although Tao Qian was marveling, the murderous intent deep in his eyes became even more powerful.

With his vicious eyesight, how could he fail to see how many corpses of ordinary people were buried under this thin layer of golden earth in this majestic realm like a Buddhist kingdom on earth?

There is no need to even hide it.

Now that Tao Qian's spiritual vision is open, he can see clearly that those gold bricks, Buddha soil, gold powder, bells and drums, pagodas... are all made of the bones, essence and blood of ordinary people of the human race.

On the surface, this is a big Buddhist city that looks like the Paradise in the West, but in fact it is the largest place of strange appearance in Qiantang Province.
