I Honor

Love, kindness, kindness, don’t enter this door

On the top of Shaohua Mountain, the drizzle is flying obliquely, the grass is deep and the trees are spring. Only the broken walls and remnants that are occasionally seen tell the story of the Buddhist catastrophe that year.

Stepping on the slippery soil and breathing the fresh mountain breeze, two old men with bamboo sticks and straw shoes climbed up the back mountain surrounded by several monks and men and women dressed as knights.

Passing through the woods and arriving at the huge red rock, a half-hundred monk with a hint of sadness folded his hands and whispered a Buddha’s name: “Duoercha died here in the past, and his death was strange.”

The old man at the head had pale eyebrows and fine eyes, with deep wrinkles. Hearing the words, he said with emotion: “I don’t know who killed him, but judging from the wounds on the body, it can’t obliterate the credit of Master Xinji. My luck in the Central Plains has been reversed since then.”

The eyes of the sad monk changed, as if recalling the catastrophe that destroyed the temple back then. The storm was raging, the thunder struck the fire, many monks sacrificed their lives, and many heroes took righteousness. The tinder was preserved for the revival of Shaolin, and the tinder was preserved for expelling the barbarians

He sighed: “In times of crisis, there must be heroes. In addition to the family teacher, in the past, there were also hidden masters such as Mr. Zhang and Zhanye Buddha Dao Zhending who came to help. Maybe Duoercha was seriously injured and killed by them.”

“I don’t know where they are now, or they died with Duo’ercha in the past.” A young girl looked at the red boulder, thinking of the heroes of her predecessors, “Without them, maybe our Central Plains martial arts would not have a chance to breathe.”

The old man at the head nodded slightly: “Nowadays, the national teacher and the wolf master are at odds, and there are many masters in the rivers and lakes. The expulsion of the barbarians is just around the corner. Therefore, the old man came here to pay homage to the martyrs.”

The knights beside him took out all kinds of sacrificial objects and placed them neatly. The old man held up three sticks of incense and bowed in salute. Others followed one after another. Several monks put their hands together and recited the mantra of passing away.

On the cliff behind them, Meng Qi listened with his hands behind his back, his green shirt was calm and silent.

It’s only been a few years. Mr. Zhang, Zhanye Buddha Knife and other titles seem to have been vicissitudes for decades, if they were not mentioned by outsiders. It has rarely haunted my mind.

Time washes away everything, and the things that were once thought to be remembered forever will only be recalled inadvertently.

The left and right stone walls are rough, covered with moss, damp and cold. Meng Qi looked around, and all kinds of things from yesterday resurfaced in front of his eyes:

Senior Brother Qi who talked a lot after being injured, Senior Brother Zhang who fought side by side, Zhiwei who was seriously injured and never retreated with a sword, Gu Xiaosang who showed his secrets for the first time, and the demon Duoercha who seemed invincible at the time.

Taking a deep breath, to get rid of nostalgic emotions, Meng Qi walked deep into the corridor with his hands behind his back, outside the knights and monks were still burning yellow paper. Pay homage to the heroic spirits of the past.

He didn’t go out to show off, because the matter was urgent and it was impossible to stay for two months. The longer it is delayed, the longer the interval between going back, and changes are likely to occur, such as the help of Mythology, so Meng Qi set a time limit of seven days for himself.

More than seven days, regardless of whether there is a harvest. have to come back immediately

At that time, there is another trick. That is to use another reincarnation talisman at the moment of return. I believe that the Nine Heavens Thunder God will no longer have the interference of secret treasures, and he can sell everything in exchange for powerful items.

However, Nine Heavens Thunder God must have arrays and other things arranged at the place where he returns, and he must block from left to right so as not to die. It may not be possible to use the reincarnation talisman in time, so he has to prepare for the worst and force the use of incomplete “sticky cause and effect” “, carrying everything of the Nine Heavens Thunder God, and suffering serious backlash.

There was no light in the corridor, and the surroundings were dark and silent, as if the most terrifying monsters and ghosts were hidden. Meng Qi’s orifice point was opened, and the great sun was revolving, as if two suns were rising in the eyes, and the darkness receded behind the stone wall.

Walking to the end, familiar things appeared before Meng Qi’s eyes again. The end of the secret passage was semicircular, surrounding what seemed to be an open stone room. There were stone beds and tables and rotten futons.

The motto left by Ananda is engraved on the front mountain wall, but it no longer contains the true meaning.Not far from the left side, there are faint traces remaining on the wall, like a stone gate, and the inscription “love, kindness, benevolence, don’t enter this gate”

There is a small deep hole at the bottom left of the stone gate, inside which there is an indescribable flame burning, and next to it are tiny characters. Although it is written in a demon script that Meng Qi doesn’t know, the meaning clearly emerges in his mind:

“The unlucky ones, kill”

None of this had changed, and it was no different from what Meng Qi had seen back then, but his knowledge back then was not the same as what he sees now, and he directly saw all kinds of strange things.

It is rumored that the demon sage killed Ananda in Shaohua Mountain, Xiao Kong and the message of “the unlucky ones kill” seem to confirm this, but what is strange is that the demon sage did not erase the motto left by Ananda, and destroyed Ananda’s breaking the precepts of the sword. inheritance.

Based on her hatred at the time and the last order that “those who practice Ananda’s breaking the precepts and saber techniques, the demons will punish them if they get it”, it shouldn’t be like this

Combined with the residual aura of “Ananda” and the Overlord running side by side in the Human Emperor’s Ancient Road, it seems to indicate that the demon sage did not succeed

When the Human Emperor was alive, who could enter the ancient path and the Human Emperor sat behind the Demon Saint.

“Is this the beginning of Ananda’s reincarnation? Even the Ananda who left the proverbs and inheritance is no longer the Ananda of the day. He returned to the place where he was killed to practice penance, and only remembered his own pursuit, some exercises and the magical effect of seeing the vacuum. “Road” Meng Qi thought wildly about Ananda, and felt more and more that this “big arhat” was mysterious and unfathomable.

Meng Qi’s eyes moved to Shimen, looking at the words “Love, kindness, kindness, don’t enter this gate”.

I didn’t think it before, but now I see it, it is very strange, because it uses today’s characters, not ancient seal characters, but the characters developed and evolved after the troubled times of Demon and Buddha, and the characters were finalized thousands of years ago.

In other words, the person who left these eight characters is tens of thousands of years later than Yaosheng and Ananda, very close to now.

Then why did he leave these eight words

Doubts arose, Meng Qi walked to the stone gate with only faint traces, the opportunity for “infection with cause and effect” had not appeared yet, it seemed to be inside.

This time, without touching, Meng Qi directly sensed the coldness and terror at the door. There seemed to be carrion corpses, evil ghosts and demons appearing in front of him, affecting his mind.

The Lingtai was pure and clean, without any ripples. The strength and realm of Meng Qi today were far from those of previous years. Facing the horrible and terrible feeling

Stretching out his hand, touching the stone gate, the feeling grew stronger. Meng Qi pushed hard suddenly, and the stone door creaked, but it didn’t open.

Pressing both hands, Meng Qi exhaled and said:

“open”

Muscles all over his body swelled to prop up his clothes, but there was still only a creaking sound from Shimen.

Meng Qi took a few steps back and drew his sword. Gather strength, the magic is only within ten feet. The dark clouds were densely covered, and the blue thunder was like a dragon, hitting Shimen at the same time as the shining sun.

When it was about to touch the stone gate, the saber was heavy. The sword light shone, suddenly collided, and all the power was condensed in one point.

Just as the “Sun Meteor” was about to erupt, the Shimen swayed, the water wave spread, and the abnormality disappeared suddenly. Meng Qi only felt that the sword was empty and had no strength at all.

“This door is interesting.” He withdrew his sword, and his body suddenly swelled. Go up to the top of the cave, step down on the rock, and turn your right hand up. Ancient and reckless, white and powerful, it “holds up” the sky, like a fairy god connecting the sky and the earth, and like a mountain peak supporting the sky.

The right hand fell down, and the palm was dark and dark. The void swayed, as if the sky and the earth were falling over it. Everything is about to shatter, can’t hide, can’t hide

The stone door was hit, and it shook violently, debris flew across, revealing a gap, but still tenaciously defended, and let the movement disappear, no sound came out.

Meng Qi took another breath, maintaining the law of heaven and earth, withdrew the “Heaven’s Injury” with his left hand, his eyes were half-opened and half-closed, his breath was vast and far away, and the surroundings were chaotic, as if everything was the beginning and the cause of all effects.

Suddenly, his eyes opened, and the darkness and depth appeared.

The knife lights up, the darkness is broken, the depth is broken, the chaos is broken, and there is a gap in the stone door without a sound, which almost penetrates it, leaving only a little stone skin.

But before Meng Qi gave another blow, the stone grew rapidly and filled the gap.

After returning to the original state, Meng Qi frowned. If he had passed the first ladder, he would definitely be able to break through the door directly, but now he is a little short.

As for breaking other places on the stone wall, Meng Qi believed that there was no way to enter this weird door.

His mind was tumbling, looking for a way to break the stone gate.

Suddenly, he saw the words of Ananda next to him, and his heart skipped a beat.

“Why did Ananda choose to practice penance here?”

“The saber technique of breaking precepts is left here, is it related to opening the door?”

Do as soon as you think of it, Meng Qi brought up the “Heaven’s Injury” again, and started to run “Cause and Effect”, closed his eyes and sensed it, only felt that the stone gate was chaotic, without cause and effect.

It’s strange that Meng Qi thought to himself, and swung the knife in his hand, what would happen if he used “stick to cause and effect” when there was no cause and no result?

This knife is ordinary, ordinary, unchanged, not heavy, not delicate, only a little weird, it seems to blend into the void, turning into an invisible fish, shuttling in the inexplicable thread.

The long knife cut through the stone gate, Meng Qi’s eyes blurred, he felt the chaos change, the stone gate moved forward, and he appeared behind the gate

Looking back, the stone gate stands in the void, clinging to his back.

all around is oneA piece of black earth covered with blood, there are rotting bones everywhere, and none of them are complete, all are missing parts

Like the Demon Realm is not the Demon Realm, like Jiuyou is not Jiuyou Meng Qi looked at the side, holding the sword tightly in his hands, and saw black air lingering in the distance, covering something.

It was noon and the sun was shining brightly on the mountain behind the lotus platform.

Teams of monks patrol here in turn, and from time to time you can see elders or heads in yellow robes and red cassocks.

Near the entrance of the secret passage, a wave of water suddenly appeared, flowing into it along a few gaps, silently.

This secret road goes directly to a certain floor below the stupa, but there is a fork in the middle, which is guarded by senior monks with location level all the year round.

At this time, an elder in a red cassock sat in front of the fork in the road, breathing like dead wood.

But just behind him, there appeared four figures walking around

There is a tortoise shell on top of their heads, with the number of Yin Yang and five elements on it, mixed with black and white dots, like a book.

All places covered by tortoise shells seem to have disappeared from the world, and no one can notice it, even if they are behind the eminent monks on location, they will not be found

One of them was as beautiful as a woman, dressed in a white robe, with an embarrassing expression, as if she had been ill for a long time, just like Wang Siyuan who “counted all the people”

After walking to the end of the forked road, he looked at the Shimen in front of him and coughed softly:

“Kong Hui has a dark wound on his body, which occurs at noon, and he is unable to control the magic weapon. If he only has the Ananda knife, as long as he doesn’t get close to the core area, he will not be discovered.”

He seemed to be explaining to the person next to him.

There are also eight large characters engraved on the stone gate:

“Love, kindness, and benevolence, don’t enter this door.”

But they are glowing with glass color, with profound Zen meaning, as if the seal is not finished to be continued
