After the holy monk dropped his vest

Houtu City in the central area of ​​the Qianyuan Continent, although it is called Houtu.In fact, it is not the endless desert and yellow sand scene at the Golden Crow City, but the endless green mountains and forests, full of vitality and prosperity everywhere.

This is not difficult to understand, the soil carries all things, and the fertile soil here is endless.In the words of the local people, even if you insert the door latch of your house into the soil, it may still take root.

If there are abundant materials and people live and work in peace and contentment, it will not be easy for chaos to arise.

In addition, there are many Buddhist sects in this place. Affected by this, people who have lived here for a long time are all calm and peaceful. They rarely fight with others.It is really the appearance of heaven on earth.

As soon as you enter the gate of Houtu City, there is a tea shop named Yuanlai Tea Shop.This tea shop has no owner, or in other words, the residents living around the tea shop are all the owners of this tea shop.

The tea in the tea shop is provided free of charge, and the residents living nearby take turns to take care of it in this tea shop every day.There are Yuanlai teahouses in the four gates of Houtu City.

Travelers from all over the world, as soon as they enter this gate, will go to the tea shop to rest their feet, drink some tea to moisten their throats, and then go to the city to do their own business.

Here, inquiring about news is perfect.

A Buddhist monk in white robes came slowly from the city gate.

That was a disciple of Fanyin Temple, with peaceful eyes and nine ring scars on his head.When the common people saw him in the past, they all bowed slightly to salute.He also smiled and clasped his hands together in return.

"Just now I traveled all the way with you, why didn't I see you treated like this?"

The gray-clothed boy sitting in the tea shop raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Shi Kong glanced at Lu Heng, but did not directly answer his question: "Can this tea still enter the throat?"

"Don't tell me, your Houtu City is a good place, and the free tea is a lot of thought, not bad." Lu Heng asked again, "Why didn't you answer my question just now?"

"That disciple should belong to the lineage of the Jie Sect. The disciples of the Jie Sect are all ascetic monks. They often travel outside, subduing demons and eliminating demons. The local people have received their favor."

Houtu City is home to outstanding people, and the people living here have the aura of heaven and earth, and the essence of heaven and earth contained in their flesh and blood is much stronger than other places.

Therefore, those demon cultivators who practice cruel and evil techniques especially prefer to catch their favorite prey in the feathers of Houtu City.Without the support of these Buddhist practitioners, Houtu City probably would not have been able to have the peaceful and prosperous scene it is now.

"With Kongkong, your cultivation level is only a lot higher than that of the Buddha's. And there were not a few demon cultivators and evil monsters under your command. How come you have traveled all the way, but not a few people recognize you."

Along the way, Lu Heng's mouth was always empty, and the master called out whatever he wanted.

Shi Kong changed from "don't mess around" at the beginning to a helpless smile, and now he has let it go.No matter what title Lu Heng said, he accepted it frankly.

"I haven't been back to this place for more than a hundred years. Most of the people who recognized me back then have passed away."

The two chatted without saying a word, no different from the guests in the tea shop.

Naturally, he was not in this tea shop for the free tea.

Although Lu Heng deduced the approximate location of the source, he couldn't deduce the more specific location.The source is born to only hide where it is, even if it tends to stay in the place where the power of the elements is the strongest.

It will also change its location from time to time. You must know that the power of the source is the purest power of the essence of heaven and earth.As long as a cultivator, or a demon clan, can get a little bit of the original power, then they will be magnanimous on the road of pursuing the Dao.

Although the origin is damaged, it will affect the entire Qianyuan Continent.But it is inevitable that some people will not care about the thousands of creatures in the entire continent for their own self-interest.

Therefore, the location of the source, except for the prediction of the way of heaven, is almost impossible for others to know.

Lu Heng also had the ability to deduce the location of the source after seeing the source several times.In the entire Thick Earth City, the place with the most abundant earth elements stretches into a whole vein.

On the ground veins, there are several key points, and these key points are the places where the origin is most likely to appear.

One of the biggest key points is where the Fanyin Temple is located.According to the law of the origin, Lu Heng and his wife should have gone directly to the Fanyin Temple.

But as Lu Heng, if he went to Fanyin Temple in such a blatant way.The monks in the Manchu Temple will probably be dispatched, and the Great Mountain Protector Formation, Vajra Subduing Demon Formation, will be invited again.

After all, the last time he appeared here, Lu Heng injured Shi Kong, forcibly rescued Mo Huai from the Demon Locking Tower, and after being trapped in the Vajra Demon Demon Formation for several years, he even dismantled half of the formation.

Lu Heng felt that it was better to go to Houtu City first to find out.Where the source is, there will be occasional visions.It would be best if we could get news from the residents of this city and avoid Fanyin Temple.

Just in case, as soon as he was outside the city, he changed his eye-catching red clothes and got a dusty robe.Even the appearance has changed back to the appearance of the little vegetable snake who was previously aliased as Lu Jiu.

Lu Heng's demon body at this time was refined by Shi Kong with Ni Lin.When he first took shape, Lu Heng hadn't recovered his memory, and in the deepest part of his consciousness, he was still a traveler from the modern world.So after the transformation, he became what he looked like in the modern world. Now that he has recovered his attire, his memory has completely recovered, and he has naturally become the original demon king.

But in fact, Lu Heng's human form can change between the two shapes, and it will not be regarded as an illusion by advanced people.

It's just that when he appeared in this youthful appearance, he couldn't show his full strength. Once he made a full attack, he changed back to the appearance of the demon king.

At this moment, when Shi Kong said that he had not returned to the sect for more than a hundred years, Lu Heng asked.

"You have already arrived in Houtu City, don't you need to go to the teacher's gate to report back?"

"After I return to vulgarity, I'm no longer considered a core disciple in Fanyin Temple. I'm basically just a layman. If there is no important matter in the temple, I will not be called back to the door."

"Your sect is tolerant. If you change to a Taoist sect with strict rules, you will probably be punished by the sect's rules."

"Cultivating the Buddha, the focus is on cultivating the mind, no matter which way you enter. If you become a monk or enter the world, you must follow your original heart. If you are bound by the rules of the sect, you will lose your original intention, and it will be detrimental to the disciple's practice."

"Since that's the case, we'll live in this city for a few days. I'll look for a few well-informed places and make some inquiries."

"In Houtu City, there is no place for the Qin Tower and Chu Pavilion."

"..."

Lu Heng couldn't help but hide his face when he remembered that he asked Shi Kong to borrow Lingshi to drink flower wine.At that time, Shi Kong probably regarded himself as a Taoist companion, but he asked him to borrow spirit stones to drink flowers and wine.

"You great monk, how can you remember these things so clearly." He lamented, "I will never go to this kind of fireworks place again, even if it is absolutely necessary, I will definitely take you there, that would be great. "

Shi Kong smiled slightly: "Excellent."

Lu Heng wanted to say something, but he heard a commotion in the tea shop.He followed the movement and saw the disciples of Fanyin Temple who had just entered from the gate of the city, appeared at the gate of the tea shop at some time.

In the tea shop, those who recognized this disciple all stood up and bowed slightly to him.

The disciple of Fanyin Temple, after returning the salutes one by one, came directly in the direction of Lu Heng and the two of them.

"Elder Shikong."

The disciples of Fanyin Temple bowed to Shikong, which was a ceremony for disciples to meet the master.

Everyone in the tea shop showed surprise in their eyes, and they looked this way one after another.

Because this Fanyin Temple disciple has a very high status and a high reputation in Houtu City.Unexpectedly, he practiced the gift of disciples to the hair-growing Buddha dressed as a layman.

In Fanyin Temple, the core disciples are all from the line of Jiezong.Lay Buddhists or lay disciples are all peripheral disciples in the sect, and their cultivation base is not too high.

Seeing that the disciple recognized him, Shi Kong got up too, clasped his hands together and saluted.

Lu Heng on the side raised his eyebrows. It seems that although Shi Kong has returned to vulgarity, his status in Fanyin Temple is still not low.Fanyin Temple has always been controlled by Jiezong's lineage, so how could a layman be allowed to occupy such a high position as an elder.

Lu Heng didn't think Shi Kong was hiding something from himself.He knew about this kind of status, but in Shi Kong's eyes, it seemed like a passing cloud, and he wouldn't mention it if he didn't ask.

"The disciple is the chief of the Discipline Hall, Zong Ru."

Shi Kong nodded: "This is my best friend, Lu Jiu."

Zong Ru saluted Lu Heng again, and after a few pleasantries, Shi Kong went straight to the topic.

"But what happened in the sect?"

Zong Ru nodded, and took out an amulet from the lapel of his clothes.

"The disciple was ordered by the head to go down the mountain to look for your traces. I didn't expect to meet you just after arriving in Houtu City. It didn't take much effort."

Seeing the sandalwood amulet in his hand, Shi Kong knew that something important had happened, he nodded and said, "I'll go back to the sect immediately."

If Zong Ru was relieved, he didn't delay much, he just said that he still had important things to do, so he resigned first.

"Ah Heng, I know you don't like to go to Fanyin Temple, but I left this amulet at the master's place. Now this disciple is holding the amulet to find me. There must be something big happening in the sect that will cause a stir Master, he is an old man." Holding the amulet in his hand, Shi Kong looked worried, "Can you go with me?"

"That's natural." Lu Heng agreed, "Speaking of which, who is your master?"

"It's not that I don't want to tell you the name of the master, it's just that he doesn't have a name."

Hearing what Shikong said, Lu Heng knew who his master was.

This person is a strange person, he lived for an unknown number of years on the Qianyuan Continent.

When Lu Heng was still a teenager, when he saw this old monk, he looked like he was dying.

Calling him an old monk is not disrespectful to Lu Heng.It's that he doesn't have a dharma title, or even a name, and he claims to be just a poor monk.

Others asked him how to call him, and he said, just call me old monk.

Therefore, Lu Heng, the natural spirit beasts that appeared in the early days of the Qianyuan Continent and the human cultivators at that time, all called him an old monk.
