Shen Luo is not satisfied with the actions of these defenders, but they currently have a major event to do, which should not be eye-catching. They are about to step forward and let Bai Xiaotian forget it.

"Amitabha, several officials, All living things are equal, everyone else only needs to pay two silvers, why let us pay two golds alone?" Chan'er stepped forward and said.

Only then did a few soldiers who defended the city noticed Chan'er, their expressions all changed.

"Master, you and them are companions? The little ones have eyes but fail to recognise Mount Tai, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, please come into town!" The blackmailing soldier smiled. Immediately stepped aside, his attitude was completely different from before.

The other soldiers also put a smile on their faces, and Chong Chan'er saluted them with a pious expression.

Chan'er also returned a Buddhist ceremony to a few people. Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian were unidentified, but it was a good thing to avoid a trouble, and immediately took Chan'er into the city. . .

White County City is high and large. Shen Luo thought that the city would be quite prosperous, but when he entered it, he saw the narrow and dirty roads in the city. The houses on both sides of it were low eaves, people and animals live together, and shops. Very few, if any, are very shabby, and people's lives seem extremely difficult.

It's just different from the dilapidated houses of the common people. There are many temples in the city, and all of them are built with thousands of weights, the treasures are strict, the Sanskrit sounds are subtle, and the incense is extremely prosperous.

Chan'er was dressed as a high monk. Although she was young, her temperament was extraordinary. When the residents saw the three of them, they immediately gave way and saluted Chan'er respectfully.

Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian looked at each other, and they suddenly felt that the status of monks in White County City was so high. No wonder the blackmail soldiers at the city gate gave way as soon as they saw Chan'er.

"This city is located at the heart of the Silk Road. It should be quite prosperous. It is strange how to live in such poverty, but Buddhism is so prosperous." Bai Xiaotian was surprised to see this scene. .

"Amitabha, it's really strange." Chan'er nodded.

"What's so strange about this. The countries of the Western Regions are poor in land and are far less wealthy than Central Plains. As for trade, look at the virtues of the soldiers who defend the city. Which Central Plains merchant dare to come here? I'm afraid there is nowhere to be reasonable after people sell it." Chan'er said with a sneer on the Buddhist beads on her wrist.

After hearing this, Chan'er sighed and recited the Buddha's name softly.

"It's not too late to check the situation in this place later. It's getting late now. Let's find a place to stay first." Shen Luo said.

"Also." Bai Xiaotian agreed.

"The two benefactors go to find a place to live. The little monk is each person against each other, so go to the temple in front to stay for one night. We will meet here tomorrow." Chan'er said.

Shen Luo only then remembered that there was Chan'er with him, and it was really not appropriate to go to the Inn to stay.

"Golden Cicada Master, your safety cannot be sloppy, so let me go to the temple with the Master, Brother Shen, you can find another place to live in the city, by the way, inquire about the situation of the Wuji Country." Bai Xiaotian said.

"Also." Shen Luo had this plan, and immediately nodded agreed.

So the three broke up. Shen Luo searched for a long time in the city and finally found an inn to stay.

The guest shop is not big, except for the Boss, there are only two guys. It may have been too long since there have been no guests. Boss personally delivered Shen Luo to the room and graciously brought tea and dinner.

"Boss, it’s the first time for Shen to come to this Wuji Country, but when I was in Great Tang, I heard that Wuji Country is a large country in the Western Regions. It is located in the important place for silk trade and it should be quite prosperous. Yes, why is White County City so dilapidated here?" Shen Luo asked the Boss as a reward.

"Guest, you came from Great Tang to the country? No wonder there are talents! Alas, when it comes to our black chicken country, it used to be very prosperous, but in recent years, natural disasters, bandits and monsters rampant, people do not live, foreigners Even business travelers didn't come, and the city fell into its current state." The guest shop Boss sighed.

"Oh, there are monsters!" Shen Luo's eyes narrowed.

"Yes, in the past few years, I don’t know why, many monsters have emerged from many places in the Wuji Country. Although the holy monks of the Holy Lotus Altar are working hard to eliminate the monsters, there are too many monsters, and they also It is impossible to kill. It may be that I wait for the insincereness of serving the Holy Lord to bring this calamity." Boss said with his hands together.

"Holy lotus altar? What is that? Buddhism temple?" Shen Luo asked strangely.

"Ah, guest, don’t you know about the Holy Lotus Altar? It’s been known that Great Tang is also prosperous in Buddhism. I didn’t expect the guest to be so unusual and inexperienced." The guest shop boss’s complexion sank, as if he didn’t know about Shen Luo about the Holy Lotus. The altar was very angry and walked away.

Shen Luo eyebrow raised, but did not care, got up and closed the door.

The sky outside is already dark, this place is no better than Chang'an, most of the residents in the city have already fallen asleep, he flew out from the window, and turned into a black shadow and disappeared into the distance without a sound.

It was a long time after midnight, when the sky was about to dawn, he flew back from the outside, with a few thick books in his hand.

Shen Luo walked around the city just now and listened to some private discussions of the people in the city, which is considered to be an understanding of some conditions in the city from another angle.

As for these books, books that record history were found in several small temples.

He flipped through these books and read them quickly. With his current Divine Soul Power, he could read ten lines at a glance. He quickly read several books, and a faint flash of light flashed across his face.

This black chicken country is now weak in national power and difficult times. All the people in the country are indulging in Buddhism for inner relief. Buddhism here is more prosperous than Great Tang.

The Holy Lotus Altar is the current state religion of Wuji Country. The temples in the White County City are mostly sub-temples of the Holy Lotus Altar.

"Holy Lotus Altar?" Shen Luo frowned.

In the troubled times, the people are in distress. It is all right to find one or two spiritual sustenances. It is only from the situation of his inquiries that this Holy Lotus Altar is quite evil, and the Changing Life Temple in Central Plains, Jinshan Temple and other Buddhists Sect is completely different. The Holy Lotus Altar does not preach All living things are equal. Instead, it believes that the people in the Holy Lotus Altar are the holy monks. They have the First Rank than ordinary surnamed Gao, and the Holy Lotus Altar does not eliminate demons for the common people. It's free, and a lot of money is charged for each shot.

He saw a record in a book that a city in the Wuji Kingdom had enchanted evildoers. The City Lord asked the holy monk of the Holy Lotus Altar to take action. The holy monk asked for half of the city’s savings. , Even though the City Lord was unwilling, he finally took out half of his wealth and got rid of the evildoer.

Such money-gathering can be called a robbery in Great Tang, but the Holy Lotus Altar describes this behavior as offering sacrifices to the Holy Lord, and often brainwashing the people for one year. One year later, the people of Wuji Country slowly accepted this statement.
