Chapter 976 Return My Homeland
Xiaobai went westward at a very fast speed.
When Ye Chen woke up, Xiaobai had already crossed thousands of miles of mountains and rivers.
"Xiaobai, where are we now?"
Rubbing his eyes, Ye Chen asked with a smile. He had a very good sleep and was now full of energy. Looking at the mountains and rivers below him, he couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy.
Hearing Ye Chen's words, Xiaobai hurriedly replied, "Master, we have entered the Plague Fairyland. This is the territory of the Great Song Kingdom, which is a mortal country."
"We are not far from the Great Song Kingdom now."
When Ye Chen heard Xiaobai's words, a smile appeared on his face.
"The Mortal Realm, the Great Song Dynasty?"
Ye Chen muttered, and then immediately said, "Xiaobai, let's go to the capital of the Song Dynasty first."
"The Great Song Kingdom doesn't seem too far from Canglun. Let's stay for a while. After all, we're a little hungry now."
Then, Ye Chen's eyes fell on Kong, and he asked with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Liaokong, do you know anything about the Great Song Kingdom?"
"I looked down from the void and found that there are many temples in the Great Song Kingdom. It seems that Buddhism is developing well here."
Liaokong immediately responded with a smile, "Sir, we are now entering the West. This area of the West is the foothold of Buddhism, and it has a lot of Buddhist heritage."
"Building temples is a common thing."
"But I'm a little confused. Buddhism is prevalent in the West. I've come here to practice Buddhism before, but the Song Dynasty didn't have so many temples before."
"And I just discovered something different. I found that within the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, there are actually two places with numerous temples, which are even more magnificent than the imperial palace."
"Building a large temple is inappropriate. The Song Dynasty is not a powerful country. Such a large-scale construction project may damage the foundation of the country. But I don't know why."
After Luo Kong finished speaking, he frowned slightly.
Liaokong had a feeling that the people of the Song Dynasty were full of resentment.
But the specific reason was unknown at the moment, and Liaokong did not give any further explanation.
"The country is weak yet they are carrying out large-scale construction projects. This is indeed detrimental to the foundation of the country and is not what a wise ruler would do!"
"But we can't worry about that. We should go and fill our stomachs first."
After hearing Kong's words, Ye Chen smiled and was no longer interested.
However, Ye Chen no longer paid attention to these things, but at this moment, Luo Kong felt a little uneasy. After all, in Luo Kong's memory, every place Ye Chen went to seemed to have a deep meaning.
The sudden stop in the capital of the Song Dynasty, in Kong's opinion, the rapid expansion of Buddhism in the Song Dynasty must have some problems, which was discovered by Su Xiuyi.
Mingkong, however, was confused and said with a look of excitement, "Master, all the way west, I discovered that this is the holy land of our Buddhas. In this western part, Buddhism is so prosperous."
We are in Xiaoyao Fairyland, and Tianlong Temple is not as spectacular as this.
However, just as Mingkong's voice fell, Kong's cold voice rang in his mind, "Shut up!"
"Stop talking nonsense. With your current level of cultivation, if you calm down and feel it, you will find that the people of the Song Dynasty are boiling with resentment."
"And yet, you want to stay in the capital of the Great Song. Do you think a peerless master like you, who has planned everything, would stay here so casually?"
"Everything you do has always had a deep meaning."
"I'm afraid something unimaginable has happened in the Song Dynasty. I have a bad feeling. We should be careful."
After Liaokong finished speaking, he took a deep breath and suppressed the uneasiness in his heart.
Mingkong, who was originally excited, chose to keep quiet. His excited heart instantly turned cold, and his eyes looking at Ye Chen became nervous.
Soon, Xiaobai carried a few people into the capital of the Song Dynasty.
Xiaobai had boundless magical powers, and with his magical powers, he did not cause any panic even though they broke through the air.
After landing, Xiaobai turned into a little bird and landed on Ye Chen's shoulder. Ye Chen shook his robe and looked like a banished immortal. Even those princes had a temperament far different from Ye Chen.
Walking on the street, Ye Chen felt a little excited. He hadn't felt this kind of atmosphere for a long time.
Not long after walking, Ye Chen set his sights on the Imperial Kitchen.
The Imperial Kitchen is a restaurant in the capital of the Song Dynasty. It was built by the descendants of the previous generation of imperial chefs. It is also the place where the most famous food is served in the entire Song Dynasty.
Ye Chen was shocked when he discovered that the imperial kitchen occupied a large area.
Moreover, Ye Chen discovered that the people who went to the Imperial Kitchen were almost all high-ranking officials and nobles, and each of them was either rich or noble.
But Ye Chen doesn't care about material things now.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Let's go. This place looks very good. People who come here to eat are all dignitaries. There should be delicious food here that will satisfy us."
"I've finally made it to the capital of the Song Dynasty. If I don't try some of this, wouldn't it be a shame to make this trip?"
"go!"
Go directly to the Imperial Kitchen.
Lekong and the others naturally did not dare to have any opinions at this moment and followed Ye Chen to the imperial kitchen.
Ye Chen had just entered the hall of the Imperial Kitchen. When a steward in the hall saw Ye Chen enter, his eyes suddenly changed. At this moment, he hurriedly bowed and walked over.
A professional smile immediately appeared on his face, "Sir, you are here to have dinner!"
"Yes, I'm a little hungry. Let's see what the Imperial Kitchen has to offer. Bring out your best dishes. Don't worry, we won't sell you on credit."
"Of course, it would be even better if we could arrange a quieter location."
Ye Chen said with a smile.
The manager saw that Ye Chen was extremely extraordinary, and when he saw Mingkong and Lekong following behind Ye Chen, his body trembled slightly.
Personally led Ye Chen into the independent courtyard.
After leading everyone into the courtyard, the steward walked out nervously. Ye Chen frowned slightly, feeling very puzzled. "Strange, why is this steward so afraid of Mingkong and Lekong?"
"What is there to be afraid of as a monk?"
Ye Chen knew very well that Mingkong and Lekong were not bad people.
However, Ye Chen just thought about it and no longer paid attention to it.
"Ha ha!"
"The layout of this yard is really impeccable, it's perfect."
Looking at the flowers and plants around him, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile, and he admired them in the courtyard.
Ye Chen couldn't help but be lost in thought and accidentally entered a courtyard next to him.
Suddenly, the sound of whirring startled Ye Chen awake.
Ye Chen looked in the direction of the voice and saw a boy of seven or eight years old.
The boy looked to be about seven or eight years old, but at this moment he was waving his fists, with beads of sweat hanging on his forehead, and his movements were meticulous, which made Ye Chen involuntarily show curiosity.
At such a young age, he is so hardworking.
Ye Chen took the initiative to walk towards the little boy. The little boy stopped nervously when he saw someone coming.
"Hello there!"
"I was just curious and came to take a look. I didn't expect you to be so hardworking and to have mastered boxing to such a high level at such a young age."
“It’s very rare!”
"I don't know your name!"
Zhao Liming wanted to refuse, but when he heard Ye Chen asking his name, he suddenly found that he couldn't refuse.
"My name is Zhao Limin."
Ye Chen was stunned for a moment and murmured, "Zhao Limin?"
"What a nice name! It seems your father has great hopes for you, hoping you can rule for the people!"
"But if you want to serve the people, why don't you study? Only by absorbing the knowledge you can govern the country and bring peace to the world?"
Ye Chen smiled and sat in front of Zhao Liming.
Zhao Limin took a deep breath and said, "Studying can indeed govern the country and bring peace to the world, but it is not possible now. The country may collapse at any time. Only practicing Taoism can save the people from danger."
After hearing what Zhao Limin said, Ye Chen became even more curious and said with a smile, "Only by practicing Taoism can one save people from danger, but I see that you are not practicing Taoism, but practicing martial arts instead?"
When Zhao Limin heard Ye Chen's words, his expression instantly darkened. "I, I don't have the aptitude to practice cultivation, but I want to share my father's worries."
Hearing Zhao Limin's words, Ye Chen was stunned for a moment. Seeing Zhao Limin's gloomy expression, tears welled up in his eyes. He hurriedly comforted him, "It's okay, it's okay. You can practice martial arts. Come, I'll teach you."
In order to coax Zhao Liming and finding that Zhao Liming was very young, Ye Chen chose the gentle Tai Chi.
Zhao Limin, who was about to cry, suddenly brightened up his eyes at this moment. Ye Chen's every move was reflected in Zhao Limin's mind in a terrifying way. Even if Zhao Limin wanted to forget it, he couldn't.
Although Zhao Limin was young, as a prince of the Song Dynasty, he was very knowledgeable. His eyes widened instantly and he hurriedly followed Ye Chen to practice in the courtyard.
After just one teaching, Zhao Liming could actually fight quite well, which shocked Ye Chen instantly. Ye Chen had never thought that there would be such a genius in this world who could learn everything just by watching it once.
Ye Chen also became interested and continued to guide Zhao Liming's punches, kicks and breathing.
Seeing Zhao Liming finishing Tai Chi in a very professional manner with a smile on his face, Ye Chen asked curiously, "Limin, you just said that you practiced to save the world. Did something happen?"
Zhao Limin was originally somewhat resistant to Ye Chen, but after learning Tai Chi from Ye Chen, especially Ye Chen's every move came into his mind, Zhao Limin had already worshipped Ye Chen as a god.
Zhao Limin hurriedly said, "Now, in my Great Song Empire, the Dalong Temple and the Tianfo Temple have appeared. My father had spared no effort to support the Dalong Temple and the Tianfo Temple before, but he never expected that these two temples would harbor evil intentions."
"After these two temples gained a foothold in the Song Dynasty, they used the slogan 'Put down your butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately' to take countless extremely evil people into their temples. They also controlled the two richest places in the Song Dynasty. Those two most fertile lands in the Song Dynasty were directly occupied by the Dalong Temple and the Tianfo Temple. Even the orders of the Song Dynasty were ineffective!"
"The two temples have committed numerous evil deeds, and the common people are suffering terribly."
Hearing what Zhao Liming said, Ye Chen was furious. These monks were even more terrifying than those evil demons.
In other words, these temples are a group of evil monks.
Ye Chen was also very angry at this moment.
I secretly made note of Dalong Temple and Tianfo Temple in my heart.
Zhao Limin seemed to remember something and suddenly said, "I haven't written anything today. I have to go write something, otherwise my mother will scold me again."
After hearing what Zhao Liming said, Ye Chen discovered that there was a desk in the corner of the yard.
Ye Chen followed behind Zhao Limin and ran over. Ye Chen did not expect that Zhao Limin had such extraordinary calligraphy at such a young age. Zhao Limin wrote a few words on the rice paper in front of him: Return my rivers and mountains to me.
Seeing these four words, Ye Chen couldn't help but look at Zhao Liming.
