Chapter 199 Langya Immortal Sect
Chapter 199 Langya Immortal Sect
Ye Xiaochuan is not dead, this is what Baili Yuan is sure of.
Although she despises this greedy and lustful boy from the bottom of her heart, she has to admit that this stinky boy has a high level of Taoism. He can wet the bed, but it is absolutely impossible for him to be easily drowned.
She searched for three days at the bottom of the river near the Ilaiye Reef. Except for the fragments of Ye Xiaochuan's clothes and the Qiankun bag, she did not find Ye Xiaochuan's body, even if it was a residual body, which made her more certain of the speculation that Ye Xiaochuan was not dead.
The only possibility is that he was washed away by the water.
So, on the fourth day, Baili Yuan left the Ilaiye Reef and went downstream to find out the whereabouts of Ye Xiaochuan. She did not find Ye Xiaochuan, but met Yun Qiyou and the other two.
Baili Yuan did not care about the grudges of these three people robbing her halfway in Xifeng City. She told them about Ye Xiaochuan's disappearance, and the four of them began to search separately.
Now Ye Xiaochuan, the drifter, has already come down the Yangtze River and has already reached a thousand miles away, and has even drifted to the vicinity of Hanyang City in Yizhou.
Yizhou is a place with many mountains, water and fertile land. On the Langya Mountain in the northeast of Hanyang City, there is a Langya Immortal Sect, which is a small and medium-sized sect of the righteous path. It is more than a thousand miles away from the Cangyun Sect and is considered a close neighbor of the Cangyun Sect. It has always been on good terms with the Cangyun Sect.
What is more interesting is that near Langya Mountain, there is another more influential sect, called Jishi Temple, where a group of nuns practice in the temple.
Jishi Temple has not appeared for a long time, only 800 years, and Langya Immortal Sect has been established here for more than 2,000 years. It is very unhappy with Jishi Temple that suddenly appeared in the core area of its power. It has caused trouble for Jishi Temple several times, but nothing has been done.
The hundreds of bhikkhunis in Jishi Temple are not scary, and Langya Immortal Sect has not taken it seriously, but the strength behind Jishi Temple cannot be underestimated.
Since the ghost king Ye Cha caused chaos in the world 800 years ago, after the battle of Cangyun Sect, Cangyun Sect's strength was greatly damaged and it could not recover. Factions such as Xuantian Sect, Jiaye Temple, and Piaomiao Pavilion took this opportunity to rise rapidly. The main reason why Langya Xianzong could not even deal with Jishi Temple for hundreds of years was not because Langya Xianzong itself was weak, but because Jishi Temple was a Buddhist sect.
Please them to move away in a friendly manner, and they will say: "Amitabha, monks are empty of the four elements, and everything in the world is illusory."
Forcing them to move away in a fierce and vicious way, they will say: "Amitabha, monks are empty of the four elements, and everything in the world is illusory."
This group of nuns will not fight back, will not talk back, and will not leave even if you say good or bad things.
When provoked, thousands of nuns from countless nunneries in the surrounding areas came to Langya Mountain to chant sutras and worship Buddha. Jixiang Temple on Bodhi Mountain would also have one or two nuns as guests. This is unreasonable.
Nowadays, the world of cultivation is divided into three parts: Taoism, Demonism, and Buddhism. Except for some witchcraft forces, almost all sects and independent cultivators are within the scope of these three.
Taoism has north and south, and Buddhism has east and west.
The southern sects are more prosperous, and Cangyun Sect and Xuantian Sect are both southern sects.
The two forces of Buddhism in the east and west actually refer to monks and nuns.
The leader of the monk temple is the Jiaye Temple on Mount Xumi, and almost all the monk temples in the world follow the lead of Jiaye Temple.
The leader of the nunnery is Jixiang Temple on Bodhi Mountain, which is very powerful. If it were not for the prosperity of Cangyun Sect in the past few hundred years managed by Yu Jizi, the strength of Cangyun Sect might not be comparable to Jixiang Temple three or four hundred years ago.
The strength of the Langya Immortal Sect is not as good as the Jixiang Temple on Mount Bodhi, so they have no way to deal with the Jishi Temple next to them.
Originally, Jishi Temple was very small, with only a few dilapidated houses, so the Langya Immortal Sect turned a blind eye and didn't take it seriously.
Unexpectedly, a hundred years ago, the Jishi Temple changed its abbot. The new abbot was called Xuanhui. This Master Xuanhui was a remarkable figure. In just a hundred years, she managed the small temple that originally had one or two hundred people in an orderly manner. The number of people expanded rapidly, and there were many elite disciples under her. Now it has become a large temple with seven or eight hundred people.
Master Xuanhui was kind-hearted. While worshiping Buddha, she also did not forget to help the world. She often gave medicine to the common people around her and was very popular.
In the past ten years, Jishi Temple has developed rapidly again. With more bhikkhunis, they have to build houses. Therefore, Jishi Temple has started to expand again during this period. There is no way. There are many believers and they are not short of money.
There was a local rich man named Yang. His son had a strange disease and was covered with fish scales. He visited many famous doctors but to no avail. Seeing that his son was about to die, he brought his precious son to Jishi Temple for help. Master Xuanhui cured the strange disease of the little son with her magical hands.
The local rich man had a son in his old age. His twelve wives and concubines gave birth to nineteen daughters, and he only had this one son. Seeing that his son's strange disease was cured by the nun of Jishi Temple, he was ecstatic. He waved his hand and donated ten thousand taels of gold to paint all the Buddha statues in Jishi Temple with gold paint, and then donated a temple named Medicine Buddha Hall.
Jishi Temple never refused such wealthy believers. It just happened that there was no reason to expand, and now it was just an excuse.
The disciples of Langya Xianzong were indignant when they saw that the Jishi Temple at the foot of the mountain was building a house again. They went to the temple several times in the past few days to argue. In the end, the pitiful nun said, "We don't want to build a large-scale building. This is donated by Yang Shanxin. I can't do anything. You should go to Yang Shanxin." The Medicine Buddha Hall has been built halfway, and it only needs a three-meter-long good wood as the main beam. The rich man surnamed Yang wanted to use red sandalwood, but this red sandalwood is easily attacked by snakes, insects, rats and ants, and will be useless in a hundred years at most. It would be better to use golden nanmu, which is exclusively used by the royal family.
But nanmu is a forbidden item. Ordinary people can use it to make coffins, but not to make beams for houses. You can't buy it even if you have money.
So Yang Caizhu spent a lot of money and found a lot of connections. Finally, he got a permit from the royal family. Recently, Yang Caizhu is worried about who to buy nanmu.
I heard that the Jinyang Princess's Mansion transported 40 nanmu from Xifeng City in Shuzhong this year. Unfortunately, an accident happened when the ship arrived. 30 of the 40 nanmu were lost, and only 10 were left to be pulled back to the capital.
Yang Caizhu was very anxious. He couldn't eat or sleep well every day.
In this environment, Ye Xiaochuan floated down from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River carrying a nanmu.
Yang Shijiu is fifteen years old this year. She has a beautiful face, but there is a man's heroic spirit between her eyebrows.
This was raised as a boy by her father in the past, because her father gave birth to 19 daughters in one breath, from Yang Da to Yang Shijiu. He thought Yang Shijiu was the last child, so he raised her as a boy, practiced martial arts since childhood, and usually dressed in boys' clothes.
Yang Shijiu developed a boyish temperament since she was young. She had fought since she was young, from the east to the west of Hanyang City, and was known as the Rouge Horse of Hanyang.
It was not until four years ago that Qi Niang gave her father a fat boy with a handle that Yang Shijiu could wear a pink flower skirt.
Today, the young master of the Zhao family invited her to go boating. This was a good thing. Finally, a man dared to invite her. Otherwise, she would really become a Rouge Horse in Hanyang City that could not get married.
So she dressed up as a woman today, put on blush and rouge, and in order to learn to be a lady, she replaced the machete in her hand with a small round fan, because the twelve mothers said that girls are beautiful when they smile without showing their teeth. She didn't have this hobby and laughed wildly, so it was best to use the round fan to block it.
