Nightfall Chapter 119: Chaoyang City is not a sunrise

This is the world of Haotian, and Daomen is the most powerful force. Not to mention the Xiling Temple where countless powerful people are gathered, just say that in the thousands of Daoist temples all over the world, who knows how much power is hidden in Daomen ?

On the wasteland, the Xuankong Temple chased the black carriage with more than two hundred ascetic monks and several masters equivalent to the fate of the black carriage. The momentum has become extremely mighty, and the Xiling Temple is a truly terrifying ocean.

From the moment the temple edicts that Sangsang is the daughter of the Hades, the ocean begins to brew a storm, and the frenzy gradually grows on the calm sea. It will not stop until the black carriage is completely photographed into pieces.

The rugged mountains under the night, separated the Moon Kingdom from the Tang Kingdom. Ye Hongyu stood on the highest mountain, with a robe dancing in the wind, whistling and no expression on his face. .

The ruling robe is dark red, brighter than blood, and darker than night.

No matter how sharp her eyesight was, she couldn't see the black carriage in the distant col, but she always looked in that direction, as if she had seen something very interesting, and refused to look away.

Dozens of priests and knights of the West Temple Temple, kneeling among the rocky peaks in front of her, a black-clothed deacon of the adjudication department whispered to the information of the Moon Kingdom, her expression was indifferent , Seemingly indifferent, it seems that the important matter of chasing the daughter of Hades will not make her nervous.

I don’t know how long it took, Ye Hongyu retracted his gaze and looked at the more than ten mountains around. In those mountains, there are four hundred guardians of the Xiling Temple and three master practitioners who know fate. There are more than a dozen powerful Dao Sects and San Xiu who have also been ordered to follow her command and hide in the mountains.

With such a powerful combination of strength, once it moves westward, it can even occupy the capital city of Moon Wheel Chaoyang overnight before Buddha Zong makes any reaction. It is more than enough to deal with Ning Que and sick Sangsang.

After the ruling secretary's black deacon reported. Still kneeling on the ground, waiting for the order of the **** seat, but waited a long time. He didn't hear the sound that made him extremely awe-inspiring, and couldn't help but raise his head to look at the graceful figure on the cliff rock on the top of the mountain, and asked with a respectful expression: "My Lord God?"

Ye Hongyu didn't know what was thinking. I was a little lost in thought. I woke up after hearing this, looked towards the west again, and said with a slightly curled lips: "That guy is more sophisticated than a thief. I can't guess that the Dao Sect will have an arrangement here, I'm afraid he has already left. So, do you have to wait here stupidly?"

The black deacons were a little surprised and listened to the words of the adjudicating god. She seemed to be about to leave, but the Dao Sect was lying in ambush among the green ridges, an order from the head teacher himself. Who dare not follow?

Ye Hongyu walked down the mountain.

A deputy leader of the guard stood up in surprise. Looking at the back of the **** robe dancing in the wind in the night, he said: "Master God. This is the command of the head teacher, where are you going?"

In this green ridge, in this world, there are very few people who are qualified to ask Ye Hongyu to answer questions, so she did not answer, but when she walked past the black deacon, she said: "I Go to the mud pond."

The black deacon is her direct subordinate. Telling this person's whereabouts is to judge the affairs of the temple. This does not mean that she needs to report her whereabouts to other people, even the head teacher.

The people on the top of the peak were shocked when they heard the words, even the black deacon showed a shocked look, and anxiously discouraged: "The mud pool? The thousand-mile swamp between the moon wheel and the golden tent king's court? Lord God, there. It’s too dangerous. For so many years, no one has ever chosen that path..."

"The road no one takes is the road Ning Que would take."

After saying this, Ye Hongyu floated away. The dark red robe was dancing in the mountains, like a flag of blood when curled up, and like night when it was calm, the people of Xiling Temple knelt down among the peaks. Send in awe.

The capital of the Moon Kingdom is called Chaoyang City. This name has been inherited for countless years. No one knows whether to read the dynasty or the pilgrimage because the two meanings seem to be the same.

There is a green hill in the north of Chaoyang City. The mountain is rather slow, but it is extremely wide and long. The vegetation in the mountain is extremely dense. Although tourists often visit, there are many remote and unmanned places.

The southeast of the Moon Country is connected to the Dahe and the Southern Jin Dynasty across a virgin forest. The water vapor in Daze and Dahe, as well as the water vapor in the southern ocean, is constantly blown into the border by the wind, and then by the west. The plateau, the northern wasteland and the eastern green hills are sealed, so it is very humid and warm.

It was late autumn, and there was already heavy snow on the wasteland, but there was no cold and solemn atmosphere near Chaoyang City. The forests in the mountains were densely leafy, and the greenery looked like the spring of Chang'an City.

At noon, the sun was hanging high above the sky, dissipating heat toward the ground. Chaoyang City and the green hills in the north of the city became increasingly hot and sultry, and everyone felt a little embarrassed.

Tourists and mountain people are resting in the green hills and forests, avoiding the dry autumn day, some children are playing by the spring in the forest, and there are many dark-skinned ascetics sitting cross-legged beside the mountain road with relatively few shades. .

Some ascetic monks are wearing monk clothes from Baita Temple and other temples, and some ascetic monks are from other places, their clothes are already ragged, and whether they are ascetics from local or foreign countries, they are in the bronze bowl in front of them. They are all filled with fruits and food, which are naturally provided by the people of Lunar Kingdom who believe in Buddhism.

Hundreds of banyan trees grow in the depths of the green hills. Under the trees are long grass and dense shrubs. It is difficult for humans or animals to walk among them. It looks very quiet. Looking at the decayed leaves on the ground, I am afraid that it has been decades No one has been here.

Ning Que took up the last handful of dead leaves and carefully sprinkled them on the ground evenly, confirming that no traces were revealed, and even the formation was completely hidden. He relieved his heart and stepped on the thorny right foot. The bushes swept to the flat ground a few meters away and began to explain to the **** horse.

With the dark horse’s usual temperament, watching Ning Que teach children gestures and education, I’ve long been annoyed, but it listened very seriously today, with very focused eyes, and it didn’t miss a word.

"I don’t know how long I will stay in Chaoyang City. If I find Senior Brother, I will take Sangsang and him back first, and then ask Senior Brother to come back to pick you up. Waiting in the city. You spend some time in the mountains. Don’t worry, I won’t leave you alone. I’ve worked hard for you, buddy."

Ning Que put his arms around the neck of the **** horse and patted lightly. Said with emotion, and then picked up a blue cloth baggage and tied it to the big dark horse's neck. Inside are the few foods like Huangguo and Mountain Ginseng left in the compartment.

The big dark horse rubbed his face, then hissed softly at the Sangsang under the tree, turned around and walked with a gentle pace, walking towards the mountains behind the dense forest, the blue cloth bag swung lightly.

Looking at the **** horse disappearing into the depths of the green mountains, Ning Que walked back to the banyan tree and carried the sangsang, tied each other with a strong rope, lifted the heavy luggage, and walked towards the city below the mountain.

The Moon Kingdom believes in Buddhism from the monarch to the traffickers. Pursuing a state of incompetence with the world, it is known for its low-key peace and tranquility, although Dahe Nation, which has a feud with the Moon Wheel, would certainly not think so. But at least within the lunar state. It is true that there are very few incidents such as rebellion by power ministers or terrible murders.

It is precisely because of this special idea or pursuit, except for the Xiongcheng fortress built on the border with Tang State and the Royal Court of the Right Account. Many cities in the Moon Kingdom do not have walls. Even the capital, Chaoyang, does not have walls. It just built a simple bamboo fence to guard against beasts in the direction facing the Daqing Mountain.

Travelers who have been to Chaoyang City and Chang'an City always like to compare the two capitals together. It is not that Chaoyang City is as majestic as Chang'an City, but because Chaoyang City is at the other extreme.

Chaoyang City has no city walls, so naturally there are no city gates. The royal sergeant in charge of collecting commercial taxes randomly put a few tables and a few parasols on the official road to serve as a tax customs.

Because of the warmth of the four seasons, the officials always seem to be lazy. Some sergeants even lie down and sleep under the trees on the roadside with their clothes open. Everything looks so unruly and unruly, but Ling Yue The Lun Guo court proudly mentioned that Chaoyang City collected more taxes than Chang'an City every year.

Naturally, this is not because Chaoyang City is more developed than Chang’an City in commerce, nor is it because tax officials are more diligent, nor is it because the citizens of Moon Country are conscious of automatically paying taxes to share the country’s worries. The reason for this is actually not What's the secret, it's just that Lunar Kingdom taxed ten times as much as Tang State.

In such a loose and uncontroversial country, such an inefficient and corrupt court, such an open and chaotic capital, even the wild elephants that occasionally go out to hunt for food can't be guarded, how can I resist foreign enemies?

If it were not for the mediation of Buddhism, the Moon Nation would have been wiped out by the cavalry of the King's Court of the Right Account a thousand years ago. If it were not for the Xiling Temple side, it might even be defeated by the much weaker Dahe Nation.

Chaoyang City is an undefended capital city, where wind can enter and rain can enter. Fortunately, the geographical position is superior. For many years, there have been no violent storms and people can enter and exit at will. However, most of the people are timid and there are not a few people. Dare to try to sneak into the city to avoid the heavy taxes imposed by the court.

One day in the late autumn, a white cloud floated into Chaoyang City, and things on the ground were too much to manage for the time being. Naturally, no one would notice the sky. Only one tax customs officer was lying on the ground basking in the sun, watching The white cloud in the sky was pointed at both ends and very thick in the middle, like a spindle, and smiled silly.

Below the white cloud, Ning Que walked smoothly into Chaoyang City with Sangsang on his back and holding a paper umbrella that I didn't know where to find, covered with a very faint clear shadow.

The air in Chaoyang City is filled with the smell of spices. Buddhist temples can be seen everywhere. The beautiful white pagodas on the temple walls and the small Buddhist niches beside the road are inlaid with many precious gems. The beggar holding a broken bowl looks calmly Wandering around at will, but no one glanced at those gems, and no one tried to pry one down from above.

Sangsang's head rested on Ning Que's shoulders, looking at the picture in front of him, he was a little surprised, and muttered: "It really is the legendary Buddhist kingdom, even beggars have such a virtue."

Ning Que looked at an old beggar who had his hands plucked off by a sharp weapon on a street corner, and said: "This only shows two possibilities. When a beggar should be so lazy and admit his fate, then he is destined to be a beggar for a lifetime, or they know very well. Even if you steal the gem, you can’t sell it, and you will be punished terribly."
