Take charge of Ascension

Chapter 299 Pingshou Temple

For the Blood Demon Sect, Zhao Ji thought he had some understanding, but for the Taiping Dao, he was only familiar with it, but he didn't understand it at all. However, after Zhou Ming gave a brief introduction, Zhao Ji was shocked.

Just like the Blood Demon Sect's sphere of influence is mostly in the outer seas, and only a small part of its power has touched the inner seas, the main sphere of influence of the Taiping Dao is not in the inner seas, but in the mainland.

To the west of the Inner Sea, there is a continent. According to Zhou Ming, it is the only continent that has been discovered so far in this world. On it, there are Shu Kingdom and Wei Kingdom close to Wu Kingdom.

The main forces on Taiping Island are on the mainland, in the territory of Shu and Wei, and those who touch Wu are a very small part of the forces.

Unlike the Blood Demon Sect as a sect, which follows an elite policy, the level of contact with the Taiping Dao is mostly the lowest level of society.

The Blood Demon Sect exists in the form of a sect, and those who are absorbed into the sect are all those who are talented in cultivation and can become powerful warriors.

Taipingdao is rooted in the grassroots, and there are good and bad personnel. However, it does not mean that the organization of Taipingdao is not strict. On the contrary, their one-line connection is much tighter.

The high level of Taiping Dao is still very powerful, and among them, there are many strong ones. One of Taiping Dao's exercises has a great reputation and is called Taiping Essential Technique.

The leader of the Taiping Dao is called Zhang Jiao. He is a martial artist at the peak of the Dao Accumulation Realm. He is only half a step away from being able to set foot on the Golden Core Dao.

The news from Zhou Ming's mouth was enough to shock Zhao Ji. After a long, long time, he calmed down. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh, stepping out was indeed the right choice. If he stayed on the island of the divine turtle, he would never know These secrets.

"Okay, it's almost time, we should go out."

Greeting Zhao Ji, Liu He and Fang Shiliang, and giving an order, three hundred elite soldiers, led by Zhou Ming, went out of the palace.

When the sky was completely dark, the four of Zhao Ji and three hundred elite soldiers left the palace. At this time, although there were relatively few pedestrians on the street, everyone still walked cautiously.

Yecheng is not the kind of city that never sleeps. Every night, there is always a curfew. Although the curfew time is relatively late, for ordinary people, they usually don't walk outside when it gets dark.

Zhou Ming chose to go out when it was dark. Thinking about it, he also had this concern. He didn't want to provoke a big battle in the city when the crowd was raging.

Walking on the remote roads in the city, I didn't meet anyone. Even if there were some dudes who came out to have fun at night, they didn't dare to come forward when they encountered such a battle. They saw it from a distance and avoided it. .

Walking all the way, after half an hour, the large group of people and horses left Yecheng, and more than 300 horses were prepared on a village not far from the city.

For tonight's action, it seems that Zhou Ming has already made full preparations, and many things along the way have been prepared.

The horse galloped forward and galloped forward for another quarter of an hour. When they arrived at the foot of a mountain peak, Zhou Ming, who was running ahead, stopped his horse first, followed by Zhao Ji, Liu He, Fang Shiliang and three hundred elite soldiers. stop.

"Everyone dismount and walk up the mountain."

Dismounting first, Zhou Ming ordered in a low voice.

Tonight, the starlight is dim, but it is not cloudy at all, there are still some faint starlight shining down, and some things can be seen vaguely.

Zhou Ming, Zhao Ji, Liu He, and Fang Shiliang are all natural masters. Under such dim starlight, they have no problem at all and can see things clearly.

As for the [-] elite soldiers, their strength is not weak, they are all super acquired warriors, and they will not be affected too much under this kind of night, at least, they will not fall down when going up the mountain.

"Your Highness, the place we are going to is not Heishou Temple."

Climbing up the mountain, after walking silently for a long while, perhaps not used to the dull atmosphere, perhaps a little curious in his heart, Liu or asked.

Zhou Ming was walking with his head bowed, and he couldn't see what kind of expression he had, but he answered Liu He's question and said in a low voice: "Yes, the spies sent out found out that some assassins are hiding in the In Pingshou Temple, it is said that most of the ten leading innates are there."

"How is it possible?! Pingshou Temple is a place where eminent monks and great virtues practiced latently. They have always formed good affinities, done good deeds and accumulated virtues, and their reputation spread far and wide. How could it be a place where filth is hidden."

Fang Shiliang's low exclamation sounded, and his words were full of unwillingness to believe.

Although Pingshou Temple is outside the city, it is in Yecheng, but it is really well-known, known as the first temple in Jiangdong, and those who pray to God and Buddha would like to come here.

Although the name of Pingshou Temple is not exaggerated enough to attract Buddhist worshipers from thousands of miles away, within a radius of a hundred miles, as long as they have the conditions, they are willing to come once during the Chinese New Year.

Following his family, Fang Shiliang also came to Pingshou Temple many times to pray to Buddha and Bodhisattvas. He was very devout here. No wonder he couldn't accept such news suddenly.

"Hmph, nothing is impossible. These Buddhist temples are originally places where filth and filth are hidden. Manipulating people's hearts and arousing people's will, but fundamentally, they are moths that suck on state taxes and people's fat and people's ointment."

With a cold snort, Liu or said viciously.

"General Liu, you are talking nonsense..."

Fang Shiliang was dissatisfied, and immediately refuted.

Liu He and Fang Shiliang's understanding of Buddhism is really two extremes, and they even quarreled over the matter of Pingshou Temple.

"Shut up."

Zhou Ming's face turned black, and he shouted in a deep voice.

After the two of them shut up, Zhou Ming's sharp eyes swept across their faces, and said in a deep voice: "The big battle is coming, and you are still arguing meaninglessly here, do you know the priority, and do you have an overall perspective?"

Even in the dark night, it couldn't stop the light from Zhou Ming's eyes. With his innate tyrannical cultivation base and his status as a prince, once he got angry, he was really powerful.

Facing the oppression of such power and influence, Liu He and Fang Shiliang's heart skipped a beat, and they apologized and admitted their mistakes to Zhou Ming one after another.

Zhou Ming didn't intend to take advantage of this incident to get angry, so he calmed down the quarrel between the two, and with a wave of his hand, the army continued to run towards the mountain.

Pingshou Temple was built in the middle of the mountain, a very open land, Zhao Ji and others spent a lot of effort climbing up the mountain, the key is that at night, they slowed down the speed of going up the mountain.

When approaching Pingshou Temple, thousands of steps were paved on the mountain road, and long stone strips were neatly arranged one by one.

The effort to build such a level of steps must be extremely amazing. If you look at it in the daytime, you should have a sense of magnificence.

From the thousands of steps, Zhao Ji can see that the Buddhist temple is really a big local tyrant, who can build such a scale, which is impossible for ordinary people.
