On this day, the two of them went to a country that was in chaos. If Li Xiuyuan was not mistaken, he had arrived at the end of the Sui Dynasty, which was the Great Tang.
There was no doubt that the unaffiliated Ning Daoqi, the Heavenly Blade Song Que, and the Six Paths of the Demon Sect had all appeared in the Great Tang.
Li Xiuyuan thought to himself. In this chaotic era, every martial arts world existed. Now that he had come to the Great Tang, he naturally wanted to join in the fun.
First of all, Li Xiuyuan's Golden Bell Shield had reached the eleventh level. If he wanted to continue breaking through, he would need to use some rare treasures. In addition, his Supreme Heavenly Demon Scripture had finally entered the second level.
However, if he were to cultivate according to the shifts, it would probably take half a year. He had an even faster method, which was to take out the Demonic Emperor's relic in the Great Tang and let himself accumulate the demonic power of the second layer.
In addition, Li Xiuyuan still had Bodhidharma behind him. He couldn't keep him around forever, so he needed to settle down. It would be best if he was in the Great Tang.
All in all, Li Xiuyuan had various considerations, which was why he had temporarily stayed in the Great Tang. The two of them had traveled from Hebei.
Because of the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, all the dukes were busy fighting.
There were 18 rebel kings fighting in various places. They were Li Mi of Wagang Village, Li Yuan of Taiyuan, Li Gui of Great Liang, Xiao Xi of Jiangling Liang, Wang Bo of Jining, Shen Faxing of Jiangnan, Gao Shida of Jizhou, Zhu Can of Nanyang, Li Zitong of Fengming of Hebei, Zhang Jincheng of Jinti, Xue Ju of Western Qin, Meng Haigong of Songyi of Caozhou, Gao Tansheng of Baiyu of Xiangzhou, Xu Yuanlang of Lu of Yanzhou, and so on.
In addition, the Sui Dynasty had long been unworthy of its name. Along the way, the people were in dire straits, and things like exchanging sons and cannibalism often happened.
Although Li Xiuyuan and Bodhidharma wanted to save people, it was just a drop in the bucket. After all, it was difficult for them to save everyone in the world.
On this day, Li Xiuyuan and Bodhidharma arrived at Luoyang City.
Luoyang is located on the south bank of the Yellow River, with Mangshan Mountain in the north, Luoshui River in the south, Hulao River in the east, Hangu River in the west, surrounded by mountains, Luoyang Plain in the middle, with Yi, Luo, Qi and Jianshui flowing through it. It is not only a dangerous place, but also beautiful scenery, fertile soil, moderate climate and convenient water transport.
The so-called Heyang Dingding land, located in the Central Plains and responded to the four directions, Luoyang is the world's traffic hub, military fortress.
After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he chose another capital site in Luoyang and established a new capital.
The new Imperial City was located between the King City of Zhou and the old city of the Han and Wei Dynasties. It crossed the water in the east, the Luo River in the south, the Jianhe River in the west, and the Mangshan Mountain in the north. The circumference of the city was more than 50 miles, which was magnificent.
Yang Guang also used Luoyang as the center to dig a Grand Canal that reached Hangzhou in the south and Zhuo County in the north. It connected the Haihe River, Yellow River, Huaihe River, Yangtze River, and Qiantang River. Luoyang became the central hub of transportation and commerce in the world.
At dawn, the city gates opened. A large number of merchants waiting to enter the city to do business and farmers rushing to the morning market filed into the city.
The scale of Luoyang was not something that an ordinary small city could compare to. Just the south gate alone had three gates. The middle gate was called the Jianguo Gate. On the left was the White Tiger Gate, and on the right was the Changxia Gate.
At this moment, the leader of Luoyang City was Wang Shichong. He was confronting Li Mi of the Wagang Stronghold, and the city was heavily guarded.
Li Xiuyuan and Dharma mixed into the crowd and swaggered into the city through the south gate.
The Buddhist Sect was very powerful in the Great Tang, so monks were still very popular. The soldiers guarding the city naturally did not dare to stop them when they saw them.
After Li Xiuyuan and his disciples entered the city, Bodhidharma's horizons were greatly broadened. This was the first time he had seen a large city in the Eastern Lands.
He saw a street that was a hundred steps wide and connected the north and south gates. It stretched straight in front of him, probably seven or eight miles long.
The streets were lined with cherry trees, pomegranate trees, elm trees, willows, and other trees. The middle was the imperial road for the emperor to patrol. At the turn of spring and summer, the peach red and willow green scenery was picturesque and beautiful.
There were shops on both sides of the main road, and between the inner alleys, there were roads that intersected with the ten streets that connected the major gates in an orderly manner.
"Master, where are we going?" Bodhidharma asked.”
Along the way, he deeply felt the suffering of all living beings and wished he could sacrifice himself to replace them.
Li Xiuyuan pondered for a moment and said,""Let's go to the Jingnian Zen Temple!"
The Buddhist Sect of the Great Tang was extremely powerful. If he didn't make good use of it, how could he live up to his status?
What he pursued was the Great Dao. Saving people was just a piece of cake. If the world really became peaceful, there would be no use for the Holy Buddha System. It would be good whether it was for the Buddha or the devil.
The Jingnian Zen Temple was located in the south of Luoyang City. After the two of them entered the city, they quickly learned the exact location.
The Jingnian Zen Monastery was hidden deep in the forest. There were hundreds of buildings in the temple, just like a small city. However, all the people living inside were monks.
Li Xiuyuan took out the Black Lotus of Annihilation. He circulated Maha-Vairocana's vital energy and disguised himself as the Golden Lotus of Merit. He leaped onto the ninth-grade lotus platform and fell down with golden petals.
"Amitabha!"
A loud Buddhist voice came out of Li Xiuyuan's mouth. Everyone within a radius of ten miles could hear it clearly.
Weng!
The Jingnian Zen Temple was the number one temple in the Tang Empire, and the monks inside were all elites. As the resounding Buddhist voice spread out, there was no monk who could not hear it.
Ta!
The sound of hurried footsteps could be heard. The leader was a tall and handsome monk who walked out of the temple quickly.
Presumably, he was the number one Buddhist in the Great Tang, the Zen Master who practiced Silent Meditation, Master Liaokong.
This person was not an old monk with a sad face. He was a young and handsome monk. No matter how you looked at him, he would not be over forty years old.
He had a slender figure and a straight nose, which made him look very unique.
The curve of his upper lip and his slightly upturned lips gave off an indescribable charm. It was very good-looking on his slender face, and he looked relaxed.
The collar was wide and broad, and her beautiful face had a kind of divine light that surpassed the secular world. Her expression was neither weak nor arrogant, but it made people feel comfortable and natural.
[Note: This book is composed of various martial arts worlds and countries. These countries have their own history, such as: Before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there was the Qin State, and here, the Qin State existed.
He hoped that the readers would not be entangled in these things and focus solely on the creation of this book.
