The Imperial City of the Northern Wei Kingdom.

The streets are wide and tidy, with pedestrians on the road, with sandalwood swaying around them, and the sound of chanting scriptures is constantly chanting.

When the people in the city met and bowed, they all folded their hands together and recited the Buddha's name, which showed that the heart towards the Buddha was strong here.

only……

"The Northern Wei Dynasty is bitter and cold."

Zhang Yan looked around with confusion and said, "But as a country's imperial city, the people here are not so poor, right?"

But when I saw that most of the people in the city had pale faces, thin skin, weak body, and young and strong men seemed to be sick and delicate.

The clothes were worn, the shoes and socks were even incomplete, and the pedestrians on the street were shivering when the cold wind blew.

“It’s endless here!”

Since entering the city gate, Li Quanyi got off the carriage, and then curled his lips and pointed to a temple in front of him, saying, "White jade is the basis, metal and stone are made of walls, exquisite reliefs, and even with golden paint, scallops and pearls as decorations. I haven't seen such a wealthy temple for a long time."

"I asked."

Uncle Yun came from behind and whispered: "The Northern Wei Dynasty has a saying that worshipping Buddhist affairs. The people of the whole country have to hand over to the Buddhist court for one day."

"In addition, every time the Buddha's birthday, festival, birthday of the king and queen, I also need to worship it. Most of the family's income does not belong to them."

"There is a saying here. The king of the Northern Wei Kingdom said that the people are sinners, and only by offering Buddhist rituals can one be reborn in the Pure Land."

Uncle Yun sighed and said, "Young Master, we came to the wrong place. The business here is probably not easy to do!"

"Amitabha!"

Zhang Yan clasped his hands together and shook his head in confusion: "Since the king believes in Buddhism, how can he bear to watch the people suffer?"

"You're wrong with this."

Li Quanyi sneered: "Look at the people in this city, most of their eyes are numb and unsightly. I'm afraid they are all looking forward to rebirth in the Pure Land!"

"Yeah, someone is here."

While speaking, a group of Buddhist disciples wearing bright yellow cassocks came forward, and stopped in front of everyone with a Zen staff made of pure gold.

"Amitabha."

The monk was covered in fat and rich body. He held a purple gold bowl in front of Uncle Yun and recited the Buddha's name: "I hope the donor will give you charity."

"Oh……"

Uncle Yun's mouth twitched. The huge purple gold bowl in front of him was shaking and dazzling. His value was amazing. He even wanted someone else's charity?

However, after a glance, he was surrounded by a group of majestic monks and Buddhists. He had to take out a few pieces of silver from his arms and put them in the bowl.

"Donor, I'm not sincere!"

The monk raised his head, his face full of flesh and no compassion, and said in a scattered tone: "The donor has jade on his waist and gold on his body, why are he just giving a few pieces of scattered silver?"

"you……"

Uncle Yun's face changed.

"Forget it, forget it!"

Sun Heng took a step forward, stretched out his hand, and a few round and bright beads fell into the bowl.

"Master, are we waiting for sincerity now?"

"Amitabha!"

The great monk smiled and called out: "If you are sincere or not, you should ask the donor's own heart. Only by sweeping away the dust in your heart can you see Bodhi."

"Master is brilliant!"

Sun Heng smiled and said, "We ordinary people are indeed easily blinded by external images and cannot see the true appearance."

After sending off this group of Buddhists, Uncle Yun couldn't help but gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice: "This group of robbers think that they would be Buddhist disciples when they put on cassocks? They really made Buddhism humiliate!"

"And with fellow Taoist Sun, why do you have to give him face? Those pearls are very valuable. At worst, it would be fine if I gave up the gold on my body."

"Just a trick."

Li Quan said without looking back: "Do you think he really wants to give the jewel to others, but it's just a few broken stones."

"I know I can't hide it from fellow Taoists."

Sun Heng smiled and stopped and bowed to everyone: "It is a blessing for Sun to meet you on this trip, and he has benefited a lot from walking along the way."

"However, there is still something to do in the world. Let's separate here."

"Brother Sun."

Zhang Yan opened his mouth and wanted to speak out to keep him, but shook his head again.

It was just to invite each other to walk along the way, and it was inevitable that they would part. Although Sun Heng said goodbye now, it was a bit abrupt, but it was not beyond the expectations of others. He had to sigh: "Since that's the case, Brother Sun takes care of him all the way, and I'll see you again in the future!"

"I'll stay here for a few more days and leave in a few days."

Li Quanyi bowed at Sun Heng, and showed a very serious look: "If you have time in the future, you can go to the Tianfu Sect and your party in Beiyue Mountain. I will scan the bed and wait!"

"Sure, certain!"

Sun Heng agreed immediately.

"Fellow Daoist Sun."

Although Uncle Yun is a monk, he is most like a mortal. He is difficult to be truly free and easy in doing things, and his expression is even more complicated at this time.

Finally, he just said: "Young Master and I should settle in the Northern Wei Kingdom. When will fellow Taoists pass by here, don't forget to come and take a look."

"I dare not forget."

Sun Heng smiled and bowed: "Goodbye!"

…………

After saying goodbye to everyone, Sun Heng went straight to the west of the city.

When he entered the city, he sensed the breath of many practitioners there and was about to go and explore.

He came to the Northern Wei Kingdom to collect some materials, preferably to collect complete materials for the Mai Breaking Pill.

Since there has just been an unblocked Dharma Assembly here, I think there should be many practitioners gathering.

Sure enough, after walking around the west side of the city for a few times, Sun Heng randomly used a few small spells and found a market that was temporarily established by practitioners.

In a small country, it is naturally impossible to attract too many people with advanced cultivation.

Even in this market, Sun Heng only saw a Taoist monk appear, and then he disappeared.

In the temporary markets, most of them were bald monks, mainly wild fox Zen, and most of them were mixed with magic powers, and many of them were not as good as when Zhang Yan had not obtained the relics.

I think they are all those who stay after the Dharma Assembly.

Most of the things required for the Breaking Pill are common medicinal materials, and a little rare one is not expensive.

This time, searching in the market one by one really allowed Sun Heng to open two more furnaces of elixir materials.

However, when he was buying and selling medicinal materials, he actually met an acquaintance here.

"Master Huien?"

Sun Heng smiled and appeared in front of the other party, saying, "I didn't believe it just now, but I didn't expect it to be a master."

The one in front of him was the monk Huien who was surrounded and suppressed by Wu Chenzi in the Yinfeng Cave in Shenmu Kingdom.

"Donor Sun."

Huien, who had a haggard face, was also surprised to see Sun Heng: "Amitabha, the donor is fine, it's so good."

"It's a lucky thing to be here, but unfortunately the others are not that lucky."

Sun Heng sighed and said, "Since the master is fine, I think nothing happened to Fairy Shang."

Huien recited the Buddha's name and observed a moment of silence for the others before saying, "The donor Shang brought his children back to the Imperial City of Shenmu Kingdom. I didn't want to see the king Muhou, so I came to the Northern Wei Kingdom halfway."

Sun Heng was not surprised by this: "I heard that the Northern Wei Kingdom held an unblocked Dharma Assembly not long ago. Since the master has come, it must be okay to defend the Dharma at the Dharma Assembly?"

Huien comes from the Fahua Temple, a branch of the Buddhist Xin Sect, and Xin Sect is best at eloquence. With his strength, he should be able to show his style at the Unblocked Dharma Assembly of the Northern Wei Kingdom.

"This..., Amitabha."

Hearing this, Huien's eyes flashed, and suddenly lowered her head and recited the Buddha's name silently: "Master Sun, I have something to tell you, can you follow me?"

"oh!"

Sun Heng's face moved slightly and nodded, "Being able to meet here means that I have a fate with the master, so it's better to use a vegetarian meal together."

"Good, good!"

Huien clasped her hands together, first glanced around her eyes, then reached out and led Sun Heng into a restaurant not far away.

The two went up the second floor and entered a single room.

As soon as he entered, Huien looked upright and threw away the Buddhist beads in his hand, surrounding the place with soft Buddha light.

Sun Heng frowned and said, "Master, what do you mean?"

"Fellow Taoist, you don't know anything."

Huien looked solemnly and looked at Sun Heng and said word by word: "The current lord of the Northern Wei Kingdom is no longer himself, but a demon who has changed his appearance and replaced it!"
