The provincial capital of Qiantang has always been a luxurious place, and even late at night you can see the lanterns and neon lights on the ten miles and eight streets.

Tonight, it was even more lively.

In addition to millions of city residents, there were also distinguished guests from all over. After careful counting, it was impossible to say that the entire seventy-two provinces could be gathered together.

These warlords from various provinces, monks and monsters, alien evil spirits, rich and famous people... They all came here for the "Demon Concubine Yuan Mingzhen". As the current overlord of Qiantang, Mofo Temple has so many evil guests coming to its door, not only does it not expel Zhan

Instead of killing them, they offered convenience and said they would not participate in their disputes.

He even went to the ceremony and received all kinds of entertainment, which was very useful, not to mention convincing the demon concubine to perform a dance.

All kinds of good things make some people wary.

But most of the warlords, monks and monsters feel that the monks in the Mofo Temple are good, at least much better than those bald men in Zizai Temple who are sitting high and above.

When Tao Qian and his wife followed the Zhen family brothers and sisters to the [Little Leiyin Temple] on the top of Jinguang Mountain, what they heard in their ears were the compliments and flattery of the demons and aliens to the demon monks, including private chatter and whispers.

Mostly praise.

And along the way, every place that was occupied by these various demonic monks and alien evil spirits from the seventy-two provinces was extraordinary.

Palaces, palaces, gold tiles and glazed buildings.

Pagoda, green bricks of merit.

If there are monks who are familiar with the layout of Da Zi Zai Temple here, they will have something to say at this moment.

For example, Duke Yuan sent a message saying disdainfully:

"The Mofo Temple is still so useless. Every plant, tree, palace, and hall on this mountain are clearly modeled after the mountain gates of the Great Zizai Temple, Vajra Temple, Zhuanlun Temple, etc. They are all mixed together like a hodgepodge.

, so ugly.”

"Another time I copied a limerick verse from somewhere, and actually claimed it was the Holy Land of Lingshan Mountain."

"Thanks to Shibi Shang's sense of shame, he added a small character before Leiyin Temple."

In the midst of Master Yuan's taunts, Tao Qian and his wife followed the Zhen family to the Little Leiyin Temple, which became more majestic as they approached.

The main banquet of the Buddha's birthday ceremony is held here.

Naturally, no one who can enter this palace is a nobody.

Before he even got close to it, Tao Qian saw in front of the temple the glowing Buddhist flames. On the left and right stood a magistrate monk with a high level of cultivation, receiving invitations and gifts, and loudly announcing the names of the guests.

Some of them have been heard before, and many are unfamiliar to them.

In order to hear more fully, Tao Qian deliberately slowed down his steps.

There were demon monks on the left and right, shouting one after another:

"You Changqing of Qilu Province, on behalf of the three demon princesses, presents as a gift: ten red demon swords, ten jars of demon sand, twenty-one volumes of "Fragments of Ancient Buddhist Sutras"... to congratulate me, Demon Buddha Tathagata, on his birthday."

"General Gao Tianci of Fengtian Province, on behalf of Zhang Jinluan, the governor of the eight northern provinces, presented gifts: one hundred exotic dragon beasts, one hundred demon blood knives, one hundred ancient tomb human beads, thirty-six volumes of "Overseas Buddhist Sutra Fragments"...

To congratulate me, Demon Buddha Tathagata, on his birthday."

"On behalf of his brother, the Grand Governor of Yelvlu Mountain, Yelubao Mountain in Mobei Province presents a gift: ten mirage dragons, a hundred Xuanyin Youquan Pearls, and a volume of the ancient demonic scripture "Xuanyin Soul Capturing Book"... to congratulate the birthday of my Demonic Buddha Tathagata.

.”

"Wuyou Xianlang Shi Zhongsheng, on behalf of the three provinces, held a high-ranking official concubine to cleanse his heart. He gave her a gift: a hundred Buddha-heart demon spiders, a hundred demon-slaying knives, and a volume of the ancient Buddhist scripture "Tathagata Sutra of Heavenly Dragon"... to congratulate me on the birthday of Demon Buddha Tathagata.

"

"Li Zhixian of Fengzang Province presented a gift on behalf of his imperial father Li Siming..."

…

Tao Qian walked slowly, listened for a moment, and counted, starting from Qilu Province, then Fengtian, Mobei, Modu, Fengzang, Wujun, Dingzhou, Dong'a, Yongzhou, Hanxi, Tiandu, and San

People came from Jin, Tianhuo, Guyu, etc., a total of thirty-two provinces, and they were all well-known figures in one province.

It can be said that many of the demon monks in this temple at this moment are considered heavyweights in the North.

In addition to warlords and demons, there are also many heretical monks who are caught between good and evil, or special celebrities who are famous all over the world.

Three of them are more eye-catching.

A Buddhist cultivator called the "Old Man with a Single Life" has a strange origin. Although he practices Buddhism, no one knows which major temple he came from. Moreover, he is very old. He once entered the court when the Zhu Dynasty was founded.

Official, and finally mysteriously disappeared after becoming prime minister, and when he reappeared, he was already in Dongxuan cultivation level.

The report said that he came from the imperial capital. He obviously used some method to avoid the original disaster, and now he seems to be seeking refuge in the Mofo Temple?

The other one is a female cultivator called "Mrs. Youxin". It is said that this female cultivator practiced the ancient secret method "Yangyang Jing" and refined a [Heavenly Desire Wonderful Body] to control sexual desire. It is said that there is no such thing in the world.

Men can resist her charm, even Taoists from the Chunyang Sect will feel soft in front of her.

I bow down to the pomegranate skirt and ask to be the guest of honor.

The third one is a left-behind monk called the "Poisonous Ginseng Hermit", who is also a heterogeneous creature. His appearance is like that of a middle-aged Confucian scholar, except that his beard, hair, skin, and even his mouth and eyes are all dark purple, which makes people feel very excited.

The Qi energy was flowing out, and within ten steps, there was no one there, not even some demon monks dared to get close.

The reason is also simple. This person's true identity is a thousand-year-old poisonous ginseng. He accidentally opened up his spiritual wisdom, obtained a volume of "Muyuan Immortal Sutra" and entered Taoism. Not only did he reach the realm of Dongxuan, he was also filled with terrifying poison.

With unimaginable power and extraordinary magical powers, ordinary Dongxuan monks are no match for him.

Even though he is stronger than him in cultivation, he dare not kill him easily because it is rumored that he has practiced a magical power called [Muyuan Soul Killing Curse]. As soon as he dies, the poison in his body will condense into particles in an instant.

The poison pill targets the soul of the person who killed him and attacks him. If he is not careful, even his cultivation level may be damaged.

Tao Qian glanced at this person a few more times. Xiao Xiaosui and Shan Jiu, who had not been out to play for a long time, felt a little uncomfortable. After noticing this person's aura, they each kept transmitting messages to Tao Qian through the human race bag.

.

"Brother, I smell something so delicious. Can I eat that person?"

"Wow, it smells like poisonous ginseng. There is actually a poisonous ginseng here? Hurry, fellow Taoist, big brother, find an opportunity to capture this guy and hand him over to me. There will be great benefits."

"What's the benefit?"

Tao Qian subconsciously sent a message to Shan Jiu.

The wild leek immediately replied excitedly:

"There is a 'Purple Old Man' in our Savage Mountain. He is very fierce. His body is a poisonous ginseng. His roots are almost filled with a poisonous peak. Anyone who goes up will be poisoned to death. That is to say, I can save a little bit, but

I also feel very uncomfortable. Although the poisonous old man is annoying, there are a lot of treasures and delicious food in his cave, but he just whines all the year round about "I am so lonely, I am so lonely" and so on. "

"Brother, tell me, if I catch him a similar person, can I exchange everything for him?"

"I see, brother, you like to use that big toad tile as a yin. It's fine at night, but it's not so convenient in the clear day. Why don't you buy thousands of poisonous mist beads from Old Man Zi? If you crush them a little, the poison will be everywhere for a hundred miles."

Fog, it’s hard for anyone to open their eyes, because they will be blinded by poison as soon as they open their eyes. You can just hit people with tiles, but you have to be faster, otherwise people may be poisoned to death..."

It didn't sound like much at first, but Tao Qian couldn't help but be speechless after hearing it.

Although I have become accustomed to Shan Jiu’s stories about the scenery of Savage Mountain from time to time, when I listen to it again now, I still feel:

There are strange things in the savage mountains!

Naturally, this also includes Shan Jiu.

Seeing that the poisonous ginseng had entered the treasure hall, Tao Qian knew that this was not a good time to take action. He sent a message to comfort the two half-year-old children in the bag who were about to cry.

Then he also stepped forward and presented the treasures related to Buddha that he finally dug out of the bag.

The governor monk who received his gift was startled when he saw the object, and then looked at the Buddha with a very surprised look, which was not contaminated by any dust, and was pure and clean. He smiled and then sang:

"On behalf of his master Qingjing Zen Master, Nanhai Wugou Buddha presented as a gift: a statue of Happy Buddha, an article "The Secret Technique of the Incarnation of Happy Zen in Xiaoyutian", and a rare ancient treasure Youyang soul-catching stick... to congratulate the birthday of my Demon Buddha Tathagata.

"

Almost immediately.

When the demon monk finished singing, countless people in the hall all turned their attention to Tao Qian.

There was a look of astonishment on everyone's face, as if we had seen the wrong person.

It’s not surprising that everyone thinks so, the contrast is really too big.

With these treasures and the names of the Buddhist magical powers, even the dullest fool can guess what they are.

If the visitor is an evil monk, or a filthy evil cultivator, it is normal to take out these things as gifts.

But it happened to be this "Untainted Buddha". His appearance was clear and untainted. Although he had a Taoist companion, no one would associate him with those fishy and turbid things.

That's good, he took the initiative to give it as a gift.

If it weren't for the powerful warlords in the palace who had heard of and even personally experienced the power of the Buddha, I'm afraid someone would have started laughing at him right now.

Even if they were suppressed, those strange eyes couldn't stop looking at him, and even restless whispers could be heard everywhere.

"Tsk, tsk, what a gift. You will know they are all good treasures as soon as you hear them."

"Sure enough, people cannot be judged by their appearance, and people like Wugong Buddha actually collect these good things."

"Hey, that's not necessarily what the Buddha thought. Maybe it was prepared in advance by his teacher Qingjing Zen Master?"

"Look, Yan Zhi and Mrs. You Xin are both staring at the pretty monk. Is this still justified?"

"You also said that she is pretty, so what else do you ask?"
