Soon, the group came to the Taoist priests and tourists were one after another.

Today, the atmosphere at the scene was a bit depressing because of the victims of the Nanjing Massacre.

Soon, the opening ceremony began.

Abbot Yang Shihua walked to the stage with heavy steps, and his turbid eyes swept over the people present, saying, "Today's Grand Dharma Assembly is to save the victims of the Nanjing Massacre and also to save the victims of Maoshan."

The mountain where everyone is standing is called Damaofeng. It was occupied by the Japanese and acted as a commanding height. I don’t know how many soldiers of the New Fourth Army died under the Japanese artillery fire. The abbot of the then, Taoist Master Teng Ruizhi, did not want a place of peace for thousands of years to become a killing machine in the hands of the Japanese. He resolutely led everyone to burn the Taoist temple and went down the mountain to follow the New Fourth Army to fight guerrilla warfare.

The angry Japanese army regarded me, Maoshan Taoist priest, as a thorn in his eyes, and wanted to eradicate it so quickly.

By the end of the war, more than half of my Maoshan Taoist priests died, including my master.

I still remember the day when the master left, and it was like today, it was cloudy. I asked the master when he would come back.

The master said, it was peaceful, so I came back.

I asked, what if I can't come back.

The master was very straightforward and said, "I won't come back."

After that day, I never saw the master again.

”

Speaking of this, Yang Shihua's voice was a little choked.

Many people's eyes are moist.

Cao Yi, who had experienced countless deaths, couldn't help but sigh when he heard Yang Shihua's words.

The war back then can be said to be a struggle between the whole nation and the whole society, countless Han ethnic groups, ethnic minorities, soldiers, monks, Taoists, prostitutes, farmers, workers, students... sacrificed their lives.

Otherwise, how could an agricultural country resist an industrial country for so long?

On the stage, Yang Shihua cleared his throat and said, "Today is the victim of the Nanjing Massacre. I won't say much about anything else. I announce that the Dharma Assembly will begin."

According to the schedule, after the opening ceremony, the banner is hung on the list and presents a gift.

After a process, it took almost two hours.

Cao Yi was about to go back to the guest house with Xu Keming.

Chang Shiqing came over and asked, "Brother Dao is this the first time I'm here in Maoshan?"

“Yes”

Cao Yi nodded.

In the past, he had no conditions to travel everywhere.

"There is still some time before the afternoon Dharma Assembly, so I will take two of you around."

Chang Shiqing said again.

Cao Yi glanced at Xu Keming who had been smiling beside him and said, "Then I'll bother Dao brother."

Next, under the leadership of Chang Shiqing, the two visited the Baihe Hall, Yangzhen Immortal Hall, Yingxu Daoyuan, Flower Hall, Yihu Daoyuan, Taoist House, and Chai Hall... Finally, they came to the long pavilion where many tourists stopped. Although one side was a steep hillside, some tourists still made dangerous moves of riding on the railings.

"ah"

Suddenly, a unique scream of a young man rang out.

Cao Yi did not move, as if nothing had happened.

"Someone fell down"

Chang Shiqing beside him was shocked.

There were a burst of exclamations from tourists coming from around.

Although it is not a cliff below, if you fall like this, you will definitely be injured. If you are not lucky, you may be seriously injured.

Immediately afterwards, something shocked everyone.

A large gray-white stone lion was carrying a young man with an extremely pale face and jumped into the long pavilion.

The stone lion swayed his head casually, shook his tail, and sniffed, and looked no different from a real lion.

"Isn't this the stone lion I lost a few days ago?"

Chang Shiqing was the first to speak.

As soon as he finished speaking, a snow-white ape appeared above the lush bushes below, and a furry hand was shaking gently, obviously controlling the stone lion.

"It's the fairy ape that takes action"

Chang Shiqing's face was full of surprise.

The tourists looked over when they heard the sound.

The little snow ape may not like being stared at by so many people, or it may be that the person has been saved and stopped to use the power of decay into magic.

The lively stone lion turned into a cold and hard stone again.

Xiaoxue Yuan was about to turn around and leave, and suddenly a familiar figure broke into the corner of his eyes. He turned around suddenly and saw Cao Yi, with an excited look on his face.

Immediately afterwards, it jumped to the long pavilion.

The tourists instinctively retreated several meters.

"The Ape"

Chang Shiqing thought that Xiaoxue Yuan was here to find him, so he greeted him with excitement.

Xiaoxue Yuan didn't even look at him, and walked straight towards Cao Yi. After walking less than five steps, his body shook, hesitated for two seconds, jumped sideways, and disappeared into the vast green field in the blink of an eye.

"What's wrong with the immortal ape?"

While Chang Shiqing was puzzled, he felt a little lost.

Just now, Xiaoxue Yuan walked towards him. He thought that Xiaoxue Yuan valued the abbot more than half a month ago, and valued him what kind of martial arts and magical powers he wanted to teach.

"ah"

A scream.

It was sent by the rescued boy just now.

Tourists who retreated several meters away woke up as if they were dreaming, walked to the edge of the long pavilion and looked down. Some even took out their cell phones to take pictures. However, it was too late, and the little snow ape was nowhere to be found.

"Brother Dao, is this the immortal ape you mentioned before?"

Xu Keming, who had never spoken, asked with some envy.

Chang Shiqing nodded reservedly.

In the afternoon, the ceremony continued, and the Jade Emperor Treasure Repentance was held in the five directions. In the evening class, we went to the ten kings to break the Fengdu.

The first day ends.

In a quiet, dark guest house.

Cao Yi and Xu Keming meditated face to face and practice.

Suddenly, the door creaked open.

Xu Keming opened his eyes and looked tilted. He saw that it was the little snow ape during the day, showing a look of surprise.

Then something even more surprised happened.

After a few steps, Xiaoxue Yuan knelt on the ground with a respectful look on his face.

Cao Yi opened his eyes and nodded, "Get up, do a good job."

Xiaoxue Yuan raised her head, grinned, and stood up.

Seeing this scene, Xu Keming asked with confusion: "Uncle Master, what's going on?"

"You will know when the time comes."

After Cao Yi gave a vague answer, he waved to Xiaoxue Yuan.

The little snow ape flashed and came close to him, squatting down with a well-behaved look on his face.

It is very different from the cold appearance on the long pavilion at noon.

Cao Yi reached out and put his hand on Xiaoxue Yuan's head and touched it. He used his golden eyes to check the changes of Xiaoxue Yuan.

As expected, Xiaoxue Yuan obtained great fortune, and there was a faint golden light on the surface of her body, which was needless to say it was a legendary merit.

With the blessing of this merit power, his roots and bones are constantly changing.

However, there are also bad things. Some places are covered by evil spirits and they will be in danger of disaster.

"It has made a lot of progress. Next, there is no more work for you. Go back to my space and practice."

After Cao Yi finished speaking, he thought and put Xiaoxue Ape into the space of the door of Eternal Life.

Xu Keming's lips moved and he didn't say anything.

Cao Yi fell into thinking.

Although the system method can speed up the evolution of the world, it still feels too slow.
