Chapter 767 Announcement From the Golden Buddha Temple
The autumn wind chases and uses its hands to tease the yellow leaves leaving the branches.
The boy in green clothes is running quickly in the forest.
He had no time to appreciate the dance of fallen leaves, nor did he understand the emotions of the autumn wind. All he cared about was to rush to Jinfo Township as soon as possible and find a way to save Lin'er's body.
Since it is forbidden to perform air control or sword flying in the skies of various cultivation countries, Xu Yang can only trek on foot most of the time.
I don’t know how many mountains I have crossed and how many rivers I have crossed.
More than half a month later, Xu Yang arrived at the boundary of Jinzhou within the Jinfo Township area as he wished.
Jinfo Township is a very large area, located in the east-central part of the northern domain of Zhongyuan Continent.
It includes seven larger states, and each state has several large and small cultivation countries. Jinzhou is the center of these seven states and is also the location of the Golden Buddha Temple, the holy place of Buddhism in Zhongyuan Continent.
Within the boundaries of Jinzhou, there are many temples, prosperous merchants, and an endless stream of people worshiping Buddha, seeking luck, and shopping. On the road, the faces of the pedestrians showed peaceful expressions, as if it was a scene of peace and prosperity for the country and the people.
The Golden Buddha Temple is located in the Golden Buddha Mountains in the northern area of Jinzhou. It is an exclusive place for Buddhist cultivators. Unless the Golden Buddha Temple organizes large-scale sectarian activities in a planned manner, a few of its temples are occasionally opened, and others are not allowed to enter them on weekdays.
Based on the map in his hand and careful questioning along the way, Xu Yang headed straight for the Jinfo Mountain Range.
In autumn, the Golden Buddha Mountain Range looks like a huge sleeping Buddha lying under the warm sunshine. The yellow leaves all over the mountain are its golden cassock.
"Is this the Golden Buddha Mountain Range? Compared with the Luoyu Mountain Range where the Tiangui Sect is located, it is less towering and steep, but more peaceful and peaceful." Xu Yang saw the Golden Buddha Mountain Range from a distance, and his mood became much calmer.
At the foot of the Jinfo Mountains, a Xiuzhenfang City established by a merchant alliance was bustling with activity.
The markets established by the Cultivation Merchant Alliance exist in the entire Cultivation Kingdom of Zhongyuan Continent, and the market near the Golden Buddha Temple is huge in scale, not inferior to the markets in prosperous state capitals.
There are all kinds of cultivation supplies, elixirs, spiritual weapons, talismans, etc. in the market. It's just that most of the items in this city are mainly Buddhist. Among the people coming and going, most of them were dressed as monks.
Xu Yang entered the market and made a brief inquiry. It was getting late, so he found an inn to stay temporarily.
Xu Yang, who was lying on the bed, stared at the roof with his eyes open, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
"The news I got in Fangshi during the day is that the Golden Buddha Temple will not be open to the public in the past three months. For a large cultivation sect like the Golden Buddha Temple, it is impossible to enter the mountain gate without a special recommendation post or the sect's token. , let alone entering it to find the fate of Buddha, I have to think of a proper way..."
The next day, it was dawn.
Xu Yang went into the market again to inquire about the news, but still found nothing.
It wasn't until the fifth day that Xu Yang became a little anxious.
"Even if the Buddha's fate is within the Golden Buddha Temple, it's in vain if you can't enter. Is it possible to sneak into it secretly?" Xu Yang had just left a shop that specialized in reselling various information, but still found nothing.
At this moment, on the bustling street, there was a sudden sound of gongs that sounded neither fast nor slow.
The voice is loud but not irritable, and it can be heard for miles.
The crowds on the road in the center of the city consciously separated to both sides, leaving a spacious passage in the middle of the road.
Not long after, I saw a tall green elephant dressed in gorgeous colorful clothes slowly coming from the other end of the road.
On the back of the tall green elephant sits a middle-aged monk with a dignified appearance wearing yellow Buddhist robes. On the corner of his Buddhist robe, there is an eye-catching word "gold" embroidered on it. The monk in yellow holds a gong in his left hand and a gong hammer in his right hand, which he beats rhythmically from time to time.
Behind the tall green elephant, there are two teams of young monks in gray clothes. They perform Buddhist rituals with one hand and the team is neat.
"It's the eminent monk from the Golden Buddha Temple who is here."
"No
What a major event it is. "
The crowd started talking.
"Quiet, quiet, don't make any noise."
"Move aside, the crowd. The eminent monk of the Golden Buddha Temple has important news to announce."
Two strong men wearing black merchant union uniforms maintained order on both sides of the road. There were several deacons on the road in front of Qingxiang, carrying wooden buckets and using branches to scoop up water and sprinkle it on the ground.
The green elephant and the monks behind him walked steadily without a trace of dust.
...
Not long after, a group of monks came to the broad square in the center of the square.
Located in the center of the square, there is a ten-foot-high wooden bulletin board, which is usually used to post announcements about the business alliance's activities. At this moment, the bulletin board had already been cleaned up.
The monk in yellow clothes on the green elephant put away the gong in his hand, and then gently patted the back of the green elephant sitting on the green elephant with one hand. The green elephant shook its nose, knelt on all fours, and stopped obediently.
The monk in yellow swayed slightly and floated down, arriving in front of the bulletin board.
He waved his sleeves, and a ray of golden light flew out of his sleeves.
The golden light fell on the bulletin board opposite like a big bird.
The bulletin board was suddenly filled with golden light. As soon as the golden light faded, a huge notice was neatly posted on the bulletin board.
"Amitabha." The monk in yellow proclaimed the Buddha's name and solemnly saluted the Buddha with both hands toward the notice. The sound is loud and clear, and it immediately makes people feel awe.
The monk in yellow turned around and said loudly: "The poor monk's Dharma name is "Yichen". In recent days, purple disasters have been rampant in several continents under the jurisdiction of Jinfo Township. In order to eliminate these purple disasters as soon as possible and restore peace to everyone Livelihood. The Golden Buddha Temple decided to send out hero posts to invite heroes from all walks of life to participate. Any hero who kills the three purple disasters will have the opportunity to enter the Golden Buddha Temple to practice for three years and become a lay disciple of the Golden Buddha Temple. There is a chance to obtain the unique "Golden Elixir" of the Golden Buddha Temple. The specific content is subject to this announcement."
When the crowd of onlookers heard this, they immediately became excited.
"This is a great thing."
"Being able to become a lay disciple in the Golden Buddha Temple is a great blessing."
"Not to mention gold-casting elixirs, they are all valuable but not marketable in this market. Occasionally they appear, but they are all bought by large cultivator families. They are simply out of reach for us casual cultivators. ”
"Of course, the Casting Gold Pill is one of the most effective auxiliary elixirs for True Elixir Realm monks to break through their cultivation bottlenecks and achieve the Nascent Soul body. It is said that it can increase the success rate of conceiving a baby by 30%. It is the signature elixir of the Golden Buddha Temple. "
"Not only that, even if ordinary Yuanying realm monks take it, it can also help improve their cultivation."
"Brother, what are you waiting for? You and I have been stuck at the peak of the True Alchemy Realm for more than ten years. This is a God-given opportunity."
...
And Xu Yang was among the crowd opposite.
Xu Yang's eyes lit up, "Buddha's destiny is here."
"Quiet, quiet. Listen to what Master Yichen has to say." A black-clad merchant alliance deacon said to maintain order.
The monk in yellow, who called himself Yichen, looked at the crowd in front of him and said loudly: "Everyone knows the horror of the Purple Disaster. If you don't have a certain fighting ability, it's better not to try the challenge. To avoid being injured by the Purple Disaster, you might be infected. If you get the purple blood of Zihu, you will become the new Zihu. Therefore, there is a threshold for this event."
After saying that, the monk in yellow waved his hand behind him and said, "Please come to Jinshan Bell!"
After hearing this, the gray-clothed monks behind him quickly lifted out a gilded bell that was about ten feet tall and quickly placed it in the middle of the square.
The surface of the golden clock was engraved with a number of Sanskrit fonts. In the middle of the fonts was a tall golden mountain pattern. The golden clock emitted a dazzling golden glow, exuding a solemn Buddhist atmosphere.
The monk in yellow continued: "In order to test the combat power of those who sign up, you need to ring this bell with your bare hands."
On the square, the sound suddenly became quieter, and someone was whispering.
"It is said that the Golden Mountain Bell is a magical instrument used by the Golden Buddha Temple to test the cultivation achievements of its disciples. It is mostly used to select elite disciples. It cannot be rung at all without the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Realm."
"Not necessarily. As long as the means are sufficient, you can also try it if you are in the True Alchemy Realm."
"It's better not to think about it for us casual cultivators with poor abilities."
"Hey——, I thought it was a good thing. A casual cultivator like me with poor cultivation can only watch the excitement."
Afterwards, the monk in yellow clothes exchanged a few words with a deacon of the Merchant Alliance and flew back to sit on the back of the green elephant. The green elephant stood up obediently and returned to the direction of the Golden Buddha Temple with the two groups of monks in gray clothes behind him. .
In front of the bulletin board.
A middle-aged man wearing a black merchant union deacon uniform maintained order.
"Everyone, please don't crowd. This announcement will be effective for a long time until the purple disaster in Jinfo Township is eliminated. If you want to sign up, you can sign up at the exclusive commercial house of the Merchant Alliance in Fang City. The registration fee is thirty high-grade spiritual stones. Remember Live, the registration fee is thirty high-grade spiritual stones.”
The deacon of the Merchant Alliance repeated it over and over again, raising his voice every time he mentioned the words thirty high-grade spiritual stones, until the spitting stars flew everywhere.
Thirty high-grade spiritual stones are really not a small amount for casual cultivators. There is no way to accumulate wealth. I am afraid it will take several years or even ten years to accumulate this amount.
But for Xu Yang, there is still a lot left over the 100,000 high-grade spiritual stones he obtained when he was in Xiaoxian Realm. This is just a small amount of money.
Xu Yang glanced at it and remembered the contents of the announcement in his heart.
The deacon of the Business Alliance said: "The Jinshan Bell test will begin now. If you want to sign up, you can come up and ring the bell."
"I come!"
With a loud shout, a young man with a height of two feet and dark skin walked out of the crowd.
The swarthy man walked to the golden bell in a few strides.
The deacon of the merchant alliance said: "Please ring the bell."
"Isn't it just a clock? I don't believe it can't be rung." The swarthy man whispered to himself. It seemed more like he was secretly encouraging himself.
The swarthy man carefully examined the golden clock in front of him, straightened his chest, and then simply tore off his shirt and threw it on the ground.
The shiny black muscles were like oiled iron lumps.
The swarthy man braced himself, moved his arms, and pushed out with his palms.
When the palm came out, a phantom of a black bear's head appeared on its surface.
There was a crisp "pop" sound.
The dark man's palms were pressed against the surface of the golden clock.
Using both arms, the strength of the palms exploded, and a faint roar of a bear could be heard.
For a moment, the golden Sanskrit characters on the surface of the golden clock flowed, and the shadow of Jinshan shone, but the golden clock itself did not move at all.
When the swarthy man saw this, his eyes widened. His dark face was swollen like a big black-faced steamed bun, and he was breathing heavily from his nostrils.
"ah!"
With a loud roar, circles of black spiritual power were visible to the naked eye on his arms, and the shadow of the black bear's head on his palms became more solid.
The huge golden clock moved slightly.
"It's moving, it's moving."
"It just moved a little."
The crowd of onlookers whispered and raised their hands to comment.
But there was no sound coming from the huge golden bell.
The dark-skinned man was like a black bear hitting the mountain, standing there motionless, and he shouted loudly.
Gradually, the shouting from the dark-skinned man's mouth became smaller and smaller, and finally only his mouth was open but there was no sound.
At this moment, the black-clothed deacon said: "The time is up, and we failed to ring the Golden Mountain Bell. This hero, please go back."
The dark-skinned man's whole body softened and he almost collapsed to the ground. He quickly picked up the shirt on the ground, covered his head with it, and got into the crowd and disappeared.
"It's the Tyrant Bear Skill of Black Bear Ridge, but this black man's heat is still a little short. If he can advance half a level, he will probably be able to ring this bell." Someone in the crowd said regretfully.
Under the organization of the black-clothed deacon.
In the crowd of onlookers, people came out one after another to challenge the bell.
But nine out of ten times, they will return empty-handed.
"I'll do it." A clear voice came out, and Xu Yang stepped out of the crowd.
