foreigner's journey

Chapter 411 Wutai, Wusheng

"Wow, is this Wutai? It's my first time here..."

Jessie looked up and around, like a curious baby.

They are now located in the only remaining territory of Wutai - the original capital 'Yulong City'.This place is located among the mountains, backed by the symbol of pride and belief of the Wutai people - the Buddha statue of the Great Dynasty.

This is a huge and incredible group of Buddha statues, carved out of mountains.Over the course of several centuries, followers of Dachao Buddhism in Wutai have been working continuously on Dachao Mountain, north of Yulong City, carving out huge Dachao Buddha statues.

It is said that even when the Shenluo army invaded Wutai Jade Dragon City, facing the overwhelming barbaric artillery fire, the Dachao Buddha Statue still stood proudly, overlooking Jade Dragon City until today.

The surface of the towering mountains is carved with huge Buddha statues, and the solemn and solemn face is looming in the clouds.

"People in Wutai have three major beliefs - [Water God], [Great Dynasty], and [Five Sages]."

Heather put her hands in her pockets and looked up at the huge Buddha statue surrounded by clouds and mist:

"This is [Dachao], the sect that Wutai has always believed in, Dachao Buddhism. The huge waterfall [Chakra Waterfall] sloping down from the top of the mountain constantly impacts the austere pool in the center of Yulong City."

Tifa stood beside Heather, building an arbor with her hands and looking into the distance: "What a magnificent city, and full of antique and historical charm."

Yuffie, who returned to his hometown, explained the history of his hometown to his friends with great interest: "Wutai was established two thousand years ago. It is said that a group of people who were looking for stars from the sky gathered together and finally formed a community. These people have a common With ideals and ambitions, Wutai was established under their continuous efforts."

Jessie wore a long dress and held Claude's arm: "We've seen [Da Chao], it's really magnificent. So what are the other two?"

"I've heard about this in the army. [Five Sacred Towers] should refer to the most famous buildings in Wutai, the Five Sacred Pagodas."

Claude said: "This tower is very mysterious. It is said that the last power of Wutai is hidden. However, after the Shenluo army captured Yulong City, they turned it upside down and couldn't find anything. Be skeptical."

"Don't worry about the five sages and six sages, I'm starving to death, hurry up and find a restaurant to have a big meal!" Barrett yelled impatiently.

A group of people walked and chatted while admiring the surrounding scenery.

Wutai's architectural style is quite different from Midgar's.If Midgar is similar to the British London style of the earth, then Wutai is an ancient building with a mixture of Chinese and Japanese architectural styles.

There are tourists coming and going around, they take pictures around with their cameras, or buy souvenirs from roadside stalls.

There is a large lake in the north of Jade Dragon City. Many huge temple-like buildings stand on the lake. Arch bridges of various colors connect the temple buildings. In the distance, there is a mist of water caused by the impact of the waterfall on the lake.

Along the arch bridge, Heather and others walked among the temples. There were bells ringing in the huge temple, and monks chanting scriptures and mantras.

"Dachao Buddhism has now declined, and only a few Wutai people are still sticking to their beliefs."

Yuffie put his hands behind his head, and said carelessly as he walked, "Anyway, I don't believe in that. If gods and Buddhas really need to appear, why don't you protect these pious believers when Shinra invades Wutai?"

"So you trust magic spar more now?" Alice joked.

"That's right! The war between Shinra and Wutai exposed Wutai's weakness, that is, we have too few magic spar!"

Yuffie made a poss: "I, Yuffie Kisaragi, the famous world-class beautiful girl magic spar hunter! I must collect all the rare magic spar in the world, and then use them to counterattack Shinra and liberate Wutai!"

The companions around applauded at the right time, although most of them applauded in a perfunctory manner with blank faces, but Yuffie followed suit and shouted excitedly: "Quick, quick, I'll take you to City Lord's Mansion, the idiot father must be sleeping at home again, so let me find a place for you."

Walk along the arch bridge to the shore and go north, and soon you will come to a place similar to an altar square.

The ground here is paved with blue bricks, and weeds occasionally grow between the brick joints.Several magnificent ancient buildings stand in the center of the square, but looking at the surrounding environment, it seems that no one has come to take care of the sanitation for a long time.

Tifa noticed that at the end of the square, there was a five-story tower.There are no tourists around, and there are no five guards in sight. This tower stands alone at the end of the square, with the dense bamboo forest behind it swaying gently in the wind.

"That is [Five Sacred Pagodas]."

Heather noticed Tifa's gaze and explained to her:

"This tower has a long history. People in Wutai believe that there are five world-class masters in this tower, known as the 'Five Strong Saints'. They are [Li Sheng], [Speed ​​Saint], [Devil Saint], 【Warrior Sage】, and the 【Extreme Sage】 who can integrate everything."

Yuffie shrugged his shoulders: "According to the legend, Wutai was protected from foreign invasion by [Great Dynasty], [Water God] and [Five Sages]. But in the war with Shinra, we were completely defeated, so the legend also It's just a legend."

"No, at least the [Five Saints] are real." Heather retorted suddenly.

"Huh?" Not only Yuffie, but others also looked at Heather.

"As I said before, Zangan and I visited Wutai six years ago and visited the Five Sacred Pagodas."

The corner of Heather's mouth curled up, her smile full of fighting spirit:
"The Five Sages are real, and I have fought against all of them."

"The legend actually exists?" Alice looked curious: "Teacher, tell me what happened in detail."

The other companions were also very interested, but before Heather could speak, a voice suddenly came from the shadows:
"Long time no see, Heather."

I saw a burly man in a long robe coming out of the shadows, still smelling of alcohol.This person has long black hair combed back, his temples are gray, his eyebrows fly into the temples like thick blades, he has a thick mustache, and his expression is calm and majestic.

"Smelly dad?" Yuffie exclaimed.In her impression, the stinky dad has been either drinking or sleeping, how could he come out on his own initiative?
"Lord of Guotuo."

Heather nodded slightly.

This person is the lord of Wutai, Yuffie's biological father - Godot.

"Zangan didn't come with you?" Guo Tuo stroked his beard with a regretful expression on his face: "Unfortunately, I still want to learn some martial arts experience with him. But you are much more cheerful than six years ago. Is it the credit of your companions?"

"Stop gossiping, Lord Guotuo."

Heather said solemnly: "I came back to Wutai this time to take away the [trophy] that was deposited here six years ago, don't say you forgot."

"...I will never forget it."

Godot nodded: "I've always kept it well, because I know you will come back to get it again. Please come with me, Yuffie and you too."

With that said, Guotuo took the lead in turning around and walking in the direction of the Five Sacred Pagodas.

　PS: Sure enough, I was caught as soon as the weather turned cold, and now I can't stop coughing.Now the weather changes greatly and the temperature difference is huge. Everyone should pay attention to keep warm and be careful not to get angry.
