Nightwatcher

The golden light comes from fragments of books from the ground.

The old monk Taling stretched out his palm and let the golden light fall on his palm. It was a bronze medal engraved with Buddhist scriptures.

Originally, he was still thinking that it might be because of Mahayana Buddhism that Monk Ta Ling said such words, but when Xu Qi'an saw the amulet clearly, his expression was extremely strange. .

This thing was obtained from Chu Xianglong, the deputy general of King Zhenbei, by licking his body.

At that time, Xu Qi'an just checked it briefly, then threw it into the fragments of the book on the ground and ignored it.

"This is."

He stared at the palm of the old monk, considering the temptation.

"This is an amulet that symbolizes the identity of Faji Bodhisattva. Seeing this amulet is like seeing a Bodhisattva." The old monk Ta Ling smiled.

The amulet that symbolizes the identity of a Bodhisattva. Xu Qi'an was taken aback, and his thoughts turned sharply. How could the amulet of Faji Bodhisattva be on Chu Xianglong's body?

What is the relationship between the two? If I kill Chu Xianglong, will Faji Bodhisattva take revenge?

"You have the amulet of Faji Bodhisattva, so you are naturally the owner of the pagoda."

Speaking of this, the old monk said in a deep voice, "Where is the benefactor, and when did he meet Faji Bodhisattva?"

Xu Qi'an couldn't answer for a while, isn't Dharma Ji Bodhisattva in Alando, how could I have seen him.

etc! Chu Xianglong must have never been to Alando, how did he get the Faji Bodhisattva amulet?

This thought flashed in his mind, Xu Qi'an shook his head, and said ambiguously: "I have never seen Faji Bodhisattva."

The old monk Taling explained: "Faji Bodhisattva has disappeared for three hundred and sixty years, and there is no news of him. Even Liuli Bodhisattva can't find him."

Disappeared for three hundred and sixty years. Xu Qi'an heaved a sigh of relief. In this way, no one will be able to expose my identity as a fake heir.

He pretended to be puzzled:

"I remembered that this amulet was given to me by an old monk who was wandering around, and he gave me a meal. But, but I never thought it would be so precious. In addition, why did Faji Bodhisattva suddenly disappear? Fomen found?"

This sentence not only explained the origin of the amulet, but also highlighted his "innocence". By the way, we will find out the truth about the disappearance of Faji Bodhisattva.

"No!" said the old monk.

wrong? Is Monk Faji a woman? Xu Qi'an's expression almost changed drastically.

The old monk looked at Xu Qi'an, hesitantly said:

"Faji Bodhisattva gave you the amulet. It is not a gift of a meal. If you get this amulet, you will have karma with the first-rank Bodhisattva. For normal people, this is not a good thing. But I think the donor is entangled in karma. It doesn't matter if there is a cause and effect. It seems that Faji Bodhisattva also took a fancy to you."

Bah, old monk, you seem to be saying: Donor, you are like an old general on the stage, with flags all over your body.

Xu Qi'an smiled far-fetchedly: "Maybe right, I dare to ask Master, if I chose to release Shenshu just now, would you really agree?"

The old monk nodded and said, "Unlocking the seal is the time of your death. I will trap it after Shenshu devours your blood. Then I will wait for the Bodhisattva of Alando to deal with it."

Jiang is still old and hot. Xu Qi'an looked at Shenshu's severed arm again, and asked:

"What is the origin of the owner of this hand?"

The old monk pondered for a moment, then waved his hand, and the wide sleeve robe swept across the air, and a picture scroll that only Xu Qi'an could see.

In the picture scroll, the golden body of the Buddha sits upright, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and his majesty is hidden deep.

On the left and right sides of the Buddha are nine bodhisattvas and eighteen arhats who symbolize the nine great Dharma.

This is exactly the scene on the first floor of the Buddha Pagoda.

God is hidden in the Bodhisattva? Xu Qi'an was wondering, when he suddenly saw the "camera" raised up, into the depths of the fog where the dome could not be seen.

The next moment, the complete picture of the first floor of the pagoda appeared in his eyes:

Above the head of the Buddhist Bodhisattva, in the depths of the mist, is a huge, pitch-black Dharma figure. He has twelve pairs of arms, a fiery ring of fire burning behind his head, and a black flame imprint on his forehead.

He showed a ferocious and evil face, showing his teeth and claws, and looked down at the Buddha, Bodhisattva and Arhat below, as if they were the most delicious prey.

The overall picture has a clear sense of layers, the bottom layer is majestic and peaceful, and the upper layer is like purgatory, forming an extremely strong visual impact.

Xu Qi'an's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and even he could hear the sound of "plop".

He recognized the jet-black Dharma figure at a glance, it was Shenshu.

When Chuzhou killed the king of Zhenbei, Shenshu used the power of blood pills to perform secret methods, and this method appeared.

"What does this painting represent? Shenshu regards Buddhism as "food"? Is Shenshu the enemy of the entire Buddhism? Can he threaten Bodhisattva Arhats, and even the Buddha? He covets the entire Buddhism in the depths of the mist?"

Conjectures burst out in my heart one by one. With a shuddering experience.

The old monk waved his hands, dismissed the picture, put his hands together: "Do you understand?"

Xu Qi'an opened his mouth and wanted to ask again, but he couldn't ask.

Ta Ling drew a "卍" character on the amulet, handed it to Xu Qi'an, and said:

"Holding the amulet, you can initially control the pagoda of the Buddha. The donor can choose to drive the pagoda to leave Leizhou, but don't use the pagoda to hurt Buddhist disciples."

Can I control the Buddha Pagoda? Xu Qi'an was about to thank you when he suddenly heard Li Shaoyun's inquiry from behind:

"Why are you in a daze?"

He suddenly woke up, as if he had woken up from a big dream. There was no anklet in his hand, and Shenshu's left arm hadn't recovered. If he didn't hold the amulet in his hand, he would have suspected that the previous one was all a dream.

Xu Qi'an subconsciously looked at the old monk Taling. He still sat cross-legged with his eyes downcast, his hands clasped together, as quiet as a sculpture.

"Don't look at him, he won't care about anything, let alone help us."

Li Shaoyun followed his gaze to look at the old monk: "I begged him just now, hoping that he would send us out, but he was rejected. Besides, this monk is very good at counting."

Are you good at math? Do monks in this world also need a bachelor's degree? Xu Qi'an was joking in his heart, quietly took back the amulet, and asked:

"What do you want to say?"

Li Shaoyun rolled his eyes and said: "It's getting dark, Sun Xuanji still hasn't been able to deal with the enemies outside, wait until tomorrow morning, if we still can't get out, we will be trapped to death in the tower. Everyone is in a hurry, you any idea?"

Xu Qi'an immediately looked out of the window of the pagoda, the sky was blue and the setting sun had completely sunk into the horizon.

It was quiet outside, and I occasionally thought of a few cannon fires, letting people know that the fighting had not stopped.

The Leizhou warriors in the tower changed from calm and calm during the day to restless.

Because they realized that Sun Xuanji seemed unable to rescue them from the guards of the two third-rank powerhouses, and as time progressed, everyone would inevitably go to "defeat".

"Third-rank warlocks have run out of shells."

"Fire the cannon, you know how to fire the cannon at the monk all day long, is there no other way?"

"Sure enough, the warlock's combat power is not trustworthy at all. If Xu Yinluo is here, then Dharma Guardian King Kong has already reincarnated."

"Yes, Xu Yinluo is invincible, and most importantly, he is a warrior."

An atmosphere of anxiety was brewing and fermenting among the crowd, and many people regretted coming to Sanhua Temple to take a dip in the muddy water.

At this moment, Yuan Yi, Tang Yuanwu, and Liu Yun came over, and they all commanded and asked:

"What is your response?"

He came to discuss with Xu Qi'an, if it was not possible, he could consider returning the Dragon Qi to the Buddhist sect, and Sun Xuanji would intervene, maybe their lives could be saved.

Just as he was considering how to speak, Yuan Yi heard Xu Qian say:

"I'll take you away now."

What? !

Liu Yun and the others suspected that there was something wrong with their ears. The next second, they looked at Xu Qian in surprise and joy.

Fasten your seat belt. Xu Qi'an made a joke, poured the Qi machine into the amulet, separated a ray of spiritual thoughts to immerse in the amulet, and immediately felt that he had a certain connection with the Buddha Pagoda.

This connection is lower than the Taiping knife, and is at the same level as the fragments of the underground book.

This means that although he is the owner of the Buddha Pagoda now, he is not the real owner.

Image description: Taiping Dao is his own son, and the fragments of the Book of Earth and the Pagoda of the Buddha are his stepfathers.

With the characters of Book from the Earth and Pagoda of the Buddha, he is indeed the stepfather.

Xu Qi'an held the amulet tightly and said in a deep voice, "Get up!"

Outside the Buddha Pagoda, the Dongfang Sisters and the monks from Sanhua Temple sat cross-legged in twos and threes.

Compared with the intensive firepower during the day, the occasional artillery attacks today are not enough to pose a threat to them.

But they didn't dare to leave the vicinity of the Buddha Pagoda, because everyone guessed that Sun Xuanji must be incompetent and furious at this time, and maybe he would vent his anger on them and start killing them.

Moreover, most of the Sanhua Temple was destroyed in rounds of artillery fire, the main hall collapsed, and there were countless bomb craters, devastated everywhere.

Sanhua Temple presided over Panlong, chanted the Buddha's name, and said with emotion:

"After this night, the Buddha Pagoda will be closed, and let those thieves die in the Buddha Pagoda, which can be regarded as an explanation to Hengyin and the dead fellow disciples."

The monks of Sanhua Temple were both happy and hated.

Dongfang Wanrong said with a smile: "It's just that the commander of the capital made Yuan Yi die in the tower, and the Dafeng court will definitely hold him accountable. Buddhism must be prepared to bear the court's wrath."

"A benefactor doesn't have to fan the flames."

The monk Jingyuan said indifferently: "Dafeng has been weak for a long time. Since Jingcha, the king of Zhenbei, the emperor, and Wei Yuan have died successively. The young man who rose to fame, Xu Qi'an, has also been abolished. Where do you have the guts to ask for responsibility?"

"Exactly, Yuan Yi encouraged people from Leizhou Jianghu to attack our temple, and the Buddhist sect should hold him accountable." The monk of Sanhua Temple said indignantly.

The disciple of the East China Sea Dragon Palace spoke up and said, "Except for Jianzheng, Dafeng has no peak masters."

This group of disciples who belonged to the Witch God Sect burst into laughter.

In the distance, King Kong of Diana stood outside the gate of the pagoda without saying a word.

The psychic master Irbu and Sun Xuanji, who is driving the fort, are still playing the game of "cat and mouse".

At this moment, the pagoda of the Buddha suddenly shook, and the amplitude became more and more violent. The wall peeled off piece by piece, and the tiles "cracked" and fell into pieces.

Everyone raised their heads in astonishment and looked at the pagoda.

"What's going on? What happened in the tower."

"Is the Buddha Pagoda alive?"

The sudden change left everyone at a loss, and there was a lot of discussion.

The host Panlong murmured: "This pagoda has been standing in the temple for five hundred years, and there has never been any abnormal movement. What's the reason? What's the reason?"

Without hesitation, everyone looked at the guardian vajra to overcome difficulties, only to find that this third-rank vajra, with a calm expression, finally had emotions such as surprise, shock, and bewilderment.

A black light landed on the side of the tower, and Irb, who was wearing a wizard robe, looked up and said in a deep voice:

"what happened?"

Duan King Kong pondered and said: "Maybe Faji Bodhisattva is nearby, and the pagoda spirit has sensed him."

Faji Bodhisattva?

The Buddhist monks were overjoyed upon hearing this.

That's right, if it hadn't been sensed that the master was nearby, how could Ta Ling have such a movement?

Now that the Bodhisattva has arrived, there is no possibility for the thieves in the tower to escape, and the annoying Sun Xuanji is no longer a threat.

This battle to seize the treasure can be regarded as a near-miss.

"Amitabha, since Faji Bodhisattva has arrived, this matter should come to an end." Panlong put his palms together, feeling relieved.

The disciples of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea were envious for a while. The Buddhism is so powerful and there are many masters. The Bodhisattva of the first rank will come as soon as he says it. No wonder the Buddhist monks have such a hard waist.

It's hard not to think hard.

Jingxin and Jingyuan looked at each other, a little surprised, as monks of Alando, they knew some inside information, Faji Bodhisattva disappeared for three hundred and sixty years, and there was no news of it.

Did you say it appeared?

When everyone was puzzled, surprised, or envious, Irbu, who was always looking up at the Pagoda of the Buddha, said in a deep voice:

"There are people at the top of the tower."

Hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked up at the top of the pointed tower.

In the blue sky, at the top of the minaret, stood a man in Tsing Yi. He stood alone in the wind, his clothes fluttering, and he looked down at the people below indifferently.

Dongfang sisters face suddenly changed:

"It's Xu Qian!"

Others recognized the identity of the man in Tsing Yi, it was Xu Qian who summoned Sun Xuanji and killed the first Heng Yin.

When did he come out of the tower?

King Kong's complexion finally changed.

"The green mountains will not change and the green waters will flow forever. Thank you for the gift from the Buddhist sect. Farewell, everyone!"

The people in Tsing Yi bowed their hands.

As soon as the words fell, the Pagoda of the Buddha burst into a dazzling golden light, and the towering body of the pagoda rose from the ground and went straight into the sky.

Two figures chased after him at the same time, namely the King Kong who was shrouded in brilliant golden light, and Irbu who was transformed into a black light.

The speed of the Duan King Kong was not as fast as that of the Buddha Pagoda, and he was left behind in an instant. Irbu's Wuguang chased after him and gradually narrowed the distance.

The Pagoda of the Buddha was shaken, and a terrifying aura of coercion emanated from it, making Irbu feel as if struck by lightning, and his mana stagnated, as if he had been suppressed.

Grasping this gap, the Buddha Pagoda turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky.

Inside the Sanhua Temple, the East China Sea Dragon Palace and the Sanhua Temple were dumbfounded.

"No, not Faji Bodhisattva."

A monk swallowed his saliva, "The Pagoda of the Buddha was taken away by someone."

The minds of the Buddhist monks were in a state of confusion, unable to comprehend what was happening in front of them. Why did they grab the magic weapon of the first-class Bodhisattva as soon as they said it?

What about Taling?

Is Taring asleep?

Jing Xin cast her eyes on the Dongfang sisters, her face still solidified with astonishment and bewilderment, and said quietly: "Who is that Xu Qian?"

He's just a guy who can't even beat Wanqing. Dongfang Wanrong opened her mouth, speechless.

She no longer trusts her own judgment.

Dongfang Wanqing replied for her sister: "We met this person on the way to Leizhou, he"

Speaking of this, Dongfang Wanrong's beautiful face appeared blank, as if she had forgotten what she wanted to say.

At this time, a monk from Sanhua Temple pointed to the place where the pagoda was originally built, and said in surprise:

"Hey, why is there an empty space here?"

Host Panlong looked over and said, "There is"

He suddenly froze, yes, why is there a space here?

The night is dark, the border of Leizhou.

The golden light roared and landed in a valley.

The night is dark, the mountains and rivers are silent, and the cries of night owls echo from time to time.

Sun Xuanji led Mu Nanzhi and Li Lingsu into the Pagoda of the Buddha, and was guided by Xu Qi'an to the third floor.

Mu Nanzhi hugged the little white fox, turned her head and looked around, and saw people from all walks of life crowded around the two windows, staring dumbfounded at the night outside.

"You, you robbed the Buddha Pagoda?"

Li Shaoyun stared at the man in Tsing Yi with a ghostly expression: "How did you do it?"

Xu Qi'an, who was taught by my wife, teased him silently, with a calm face: "I'm not sure, I will enter the Pagoda of the Buddha?"

Hearing this, the command made Yuan Yi show an expression of admiration: "Your Excellency has clever calculations, and Yuan is so ignorant that he doesn't know when Dafeng became your character."

Liu Yun looked over immediately, her eyes sparkling.

"It may not be a great servant." Li Shaoyun muttered beside him.

This person is proficient in Gu art. Although he has a typical Central Plains appearance, his appearance can be changed.

Sun Xuanji looked at Xu Qi'an and said, "I"

The little fox didn't like the atmosphere inside the Buddha Pagoda very much, curled up in Mu Nanzhi's arms, raised a small paw, and said weakly:

"It's so powerful, it's worthy of being Sister Yeji's man."

The purpose of his coming to Leizhou is to snatch the Buddha Pagoda? This, this is something I never thought of. Li Lingsu thought in a complicated mood.

Sun Xuanji looked at Xu Qi'an and said, "Already"

Mu Nanzhi's face changed slightly, and he lowered his head: "Sister Yeji?"

man?

The little white fox said "hmm": "Sister Yeji is my third sister."

No wonder, no wonder he said it was the old man's younger sister. Mu Nanzhi looked at it for a moment, put a cold face on it, and threw the little white fox away.

Slap!

The little white fox fell to the ground. It was only as long as an adult's forearm. It was exquisite and pocket-sized. With its head held high, its tearful fox eyes looked at Mu Nanzhi innocently, unable to understand that it was suddenly treated so roughly.

Mu Nanzhi glared at Xu Qi'an, sighed, hugged the little white fox again, and rubbed his head to show comfort.

She wasn't going to have trouble with a little fox cub.

Sun Xuanji looked at Xu Qi'an and said, "Jing"

Xu Qi'an said loudly: "Everyone, something has happened here. In order to prevent being traced, I will leave immediately, and I will send everyone out of the tower now."

A person from the Jianghu hesitated for a while, and tentatively said weakly: "Your Excellency said before, the baby will be divided equally."

Immediately, all eyes turned to Xu Qi'an.

The warriors of Leizhou did not dare to make any noise, let alone force them, and looked at him with bated breath.

Loose people in Jianghu like to fight for treasures the most. The essence is that they have no backing, no resources, and if they want to get ahead, they have to risk their lives to fight for it.

Just like a poor boy who wants to get ahead, he has to work hard, hang his head on the beam and stab his butt, and fight for that first-line opportunity after ten years of poverty.

Only casual cultivators know the bitterness of this.

The old monk, who was meditating with downcast eyes like a sculpture, raised his head and looked at Xu Qi'an.

Yuan Yi, Li Shaoyun, Tang Yuanwu, these fourth-rank warriors did not speak, but there was a hint of longing in their immediate gazes.

The reason why I didn't speak just now was because I felt that I was no longer qualified to bargain with Xu Qian.

This is the case in Jianghu, where the big fist has the final say.

But deep down, there is still a glimmer of hope.

Of course, even if Xu Qian turned his back on him, they wouldn't say anything and left immediately.

It is impossible to share the dragon energy, and I am not in charge of the Buddha Pagoda, but I did say that the treasures are divided equally. Although it is a perfunctory word, but the man promises a thousand dollars, and besides, I lured these people here and prostituted them for nothing." labor force".

How should I compensate them? Xu Qi'an fell into deep thought.
