Chapter Two Hundred and Seventeen: Viewing the Sea Double Corridor

The boatman glanced into the box and saw a strange iron tool inside, with a rake shape on the outside. The young man named Fang said that he was the mother's belongings, but how could the women keep the iron rake as a souvenir?

He couldn't see the mystery.

Ding Xing saw at a glance that the iron rake was not an object in the world, but a magic weapon used by monks. It also reminded Ding Xing of his life in the gardens of Jinlu Winery when he was a teenager. He regularly used fire rock plows to turn soil into his orchard.

This iron rake can actually be used for cultivation, but because it has refined more than ten rake nails, there are red blood stains left on the nails, it is obvious that it is a treasure commonly used in fighting.

The reason why Ding Xing rented this passenger ship was because he sensed the iron rake in the box when he was on the lake shore. However, he observed the young man surnamed Fang. This was just a mortal, not a desert monk, and it was inevitable that people would be suspicious.

The key is that the young man surnamed Fang dressed as a scholar, which was almost the same as Ding Xing's dress when he lived in Jinlu Winery. This evoked Ding Xing's memories of his youth, and on a whim he rode the same boat with the young man surnamed Fang.

The young man surnamed Fang looked dusty and occasionally showed his worries. After getting on the boat, he kept thinking about his own thoughts and did not pay much attention to Ding Xing. He could not see through Ding Xing's background and just thought Ding Xing was an ordinary old man on a ferry, so he could not be interested in communicating.

He would rather talk to the boatman, after all, he was an outsider and wanted to ask the boatman for information.

"I heard that Master Qingchun Temple is always kind and generous, and is always known as a saint monk. Can anyone ask him to give him the holy hand to the gate of his temple?"

"I always wish that the holy monk will live in Xinye Lake. There are indeed countless living people, and they are well-known for their compassion and hearts. Local people are willing to worship incense. However, he is not in the temple now and has already traveled a month ago. No one knows when he will come back. If Mr. Fang comes to ask for help, he will probably have to wait for some time."

"As long as the holy monk really helps the people, I will be willing to wait for how long."

After hearing this, the boatman realized the true purpose of the young man surnamed Fang. It turned out that he was not just a trip, but to burn incense and worship Buddha, pray for blessings and help.

The boatman said, "There are more than one holy monks of the long-wish priests on Xinye Island, and many immortal masters live in the island. They all have great magic powers and great supernatural powers. In the past, they are willing to solve the problems of the local people, but they will not help for free. If anyone asks them for help, they must serve them for some time. If the long-wish master does not return for a long time, Mr. Fang can't wait, so he might as well go and meet these immortal masters."

The young man surnamed Fang nodded, "If you can't wait for Master Changyuan, then I'll go and pay my respects."

When the boatman saw him touching the wooden box, he suddenly became sad, as if he was thinking of someone when he saw something. He probably remembered his deceased mother, so he knew that he would not talk too much.

But Dan Xing answered the words and asked the boatman: "Does the immortal masters here live on the island for generations?"

"Household?" The boatman shook his head: "Where is the timely residence? Before the opening of Qingchun Temple, there were only a few immortal masters on the island, and the rest were all our people. The island was very desolate at that time. After Master Changyuan came, he didn't know what Buddhism he had used, but it was to make the dead trees come to spring, the grass and trees grow rapidly, and even the gradually sandy lake water gushed back!"

When Ding Xing heard this, he thought of the Spiritual Spring Eyes that he gave to Monk Changyuan back then. This master refined the spring eye into Xinye Island. After a few years, the originally deserted island became the place of green spiritual veins.

It is also because Monk Changyuan settled for too short a time. If he had been allowed to settle in the territory of Xinye Lake, which was 800 miles a year, it would be possible that it would be restored to its original state.

The boatman continued: "When the temple was blooming for a year, the birds and flowers were singing on the island, like a holy place of gods and immortals, so he attracted all the immortal masters from nearby oasis. I heard that they had had conflicts with Master Changyuan for the sake of entering. Later, they may have admired the master's kindness and Buddha heart, so they lived in harmony..."

He suddenly remembered that the immortal masters had the magical powers of the wind. They could secretly hear him talking through the lake more than ten miles away. He was chewing his mouth here, which was very happy. If the immortal masters heard him, they might have to wear small shoes. He had several ferry travelers, but because he said bad things about some immortal masters while chatting with tourists, he inexplicably became seriously ill and almost died.

He quickly added: "Immortals and Buddhas are originally a family. The immortal masters on Xinye Island and Master Changyuan appreciate each other, and they are all living Bodhisattvas anyway."

Ding Xing laughed slightly when he heard this. The boatman was so old that he was so worldly.

It is natural that mutual appreciation cannot be true. Those so-called immortal masters are willing to live in harmony with the monk Changyuan, which is obviously the result of the checks and balances between them.

There are almost no spiritual veins in the oasis in the Tiandong Desert. The practice environment of oasis monks everywhere is quite harsh without exception. Otherwise, the "Four Heavenly Kings" of the past would not have to sneak into Jinlu Winery and steal the spiritual cellar and spirit wine.

It is precisely because of the lack of spiritual veins that when Monk Zhongyuan refines the spiritual spring on Xinye Island, it attracts a large number of indigenous monks to the island. However, they belong to different oasis and are evenly matched with each other, and no one can expel each other. So they each set up a territory on the island and settle down.

Ding Xing chatted with the boatman, and the boat quickly approached the shore.

When getting off the boat, the boatman pointed the way to Ding Xing and the young man surnamed Fang: "There are four cities and one temple on this island. Qingchun Temple is located in the center and is surrounded by four cities. These towns are all built along the mountains. There are many small roads, but you don't have to worry about losing in the mountains!"

Ding Xing looked along the boatman's finger. The small hills on the island were undulating, and human settlement buildings could be seen everywhere on the mountain. At first glance, he could not see the direction of Qingchun Temple.

The boatman also said: "In order to facilitate the people to enter the temple to burn incense and fulfill their wishes, Master Changyuan built several official roads toward Buddha on the island. No matter which official road you follow, you will surely arrive at Qingchun Temple. Remember, there are Buddhist incense on both sides of the official road, which will emit fragrance during the day and shine at night. This is a mark, which is very easy to find. Let's set off now."

Qingchun Temple is located in the center of the island, and the Lingquan is also refined here. It has been integrated with the entire island, and the spiritual energy spreads throughout the island. Those monks who moved from all over the country have accused that the Lingquan area is ten miles away as the territory of Qingchun Temple. The other island areas are stationed by these monks in the city to build towns. The "four cities" mentioned by the boatman is actually the territory of four mysterious monks.

However, Ding Xing did not find any trace of the Xuanfei monks when he was detecting the caves on the island. He seemed to have gone out together to find out about the news about Monk Changyuan.

He decided to go to the Qingchun Temple first, and perhaps the little novice monks in the temple would understand some of the situation.

He looked around the shore and soon discovered the Buddha's incense official road mentioned by the boatman, and followed the road to the end to detect it. It turned out to reach the gate of Qingchun Temple.

Who knew that as soon as he took a step, the young man surnamed Fang followed and said to him: "Senior also went to Qingchun Temple to worship Buddha and fulfill his vows? We are just on the way. I want to walk with you, how can you think?"

Ding Xing laughed: "The road is facing the sky, and you can walk when you like, what's the best or not?"

A young man surnamed Fang ran to catch up with him: "My younger generation surnamed Fang and his name is Zhenyu. He was originally a person from the moon corridor oasis. Because of the insect storm in his hometown, he trekked to Xinye Lake. He was on the boat just now. I heard that the seniors were not like locals. Where did your hometown live?"

The Moon Gate Oasis is the closest oasis to the Mid-Moon Sea. If you want to go to the Sea Viewing Corridor, this oasis is a must-pass place.

Earlier, Ding Xing asked about the situation in the Tiandong Desert in Mingzhu Oasis, and paid special attention to the sea viewing corridor. These are two sea passages connecting the Xiji Continent from Tiandong. It is rumored that the corridor is filled with dark aura, and there are many ghost corpses and monsters wandering, which makes it difficult for monks to travel. However, Ding Xing has never been to what kind of scene it is, so he is not very clear about it.

At this moment, he heard that Fang Zhenyu was from the Moon Gate Oasis, Ding Xing asked casually: "Insect plague? The sand beasts in Tiandongmo are mainly sand ants. Has your hometown been harmed by insect ants?"
