Chapter 219 Twelve Arhats

Shi Feng read through the classics and knew that Tang Qingsi was on the list of the three evils, not just because of the highly poisonous cannibalism. After all, the underground palace contained highly poisonous things and there were a lot of things that could eat people.

The reason why the love silk is scary is that it has a talent that can be transformed into anything and simulate anything without any flaws and cannot be recognized by the naked eye.

Shi Feng saw an incredible anecdote in "South Window Collection".

It is said that hundreds of years ago, in the ninth year of Yang, four people, a father and his son, went to the Qingdi Valley to explore and search for treasure. As they went deeper, they were besieged by a large group of long-winged swallowtail butterflies on the third floor of the underground palace.

At that time, the father, who was in the early stage of Jindan cultivation, cut off his family alone in order to protect his three sons from escaping. As a result, he was killed by the poison of the butterfly butterfly.

After three sons escaped from birth, after several years of hard training, two of the three advanced to the golden elixir, and one was in the late stage of foundation building, and his strength was far better than before.

The three brothers didn't say they wanted to avenge their father. After all, they died at the hands of the Yin Beast, and they couldn't say who they wanted to seek revenge from. However, their father's remains were still in the Qingdi Valley and they should be brought back.

So in another ninth year of Yang, the three brothers took a dozen capable disciples and went down to the third floor of the underground palace again, finding the barren valley where they encountered the long-winged swallowtail butterfly.

Decades later, everything is still the same, the surroundings are desolate, and only the remains of the old father are still lying there alone.

Since long-winged swallowtail butterflies do not eat people, and my father was poisoned to death, his body did not rot, and no other Yin beast dared to eat it, so the father's body was well preserved, including the clothes on his body, the long knife held tightly in his hand, and even The sad and angry look in his eyes was still fixed at that moment before he died.

The three brothers cried loudly and kowtowed, trying to collect their father's remains.

The moment the eldest brother touched his father's remains with his hands, something unexpected happened, and countless silk vines flew out from the remains, entangling and devouring the eldest brother.

It turns out that the remains turned out to be the transformation of a love thread. The love thread can imitate and transform into anything. In the process of devouring the corpse, the love thread completely imitated the clothes, weapons, and even the eyes of the remains, so that even relatives could not. Distinguish between true and false.

Since the love thread has no evil spirit and can be transformed into objects, it is difficult to guard against it.

Maybe you pick spiritual herbs, and the first nine are all elixirs, and the tenth one that is exactly the same may be the love thread; you see two stone statues on the left and one on the right in front of the main hall, maybe the stone statue on the left has collapsed long ago, and the one on the left is replaced by another. It's just a love thread.

In every trip to the Qingdi Valley in the ninth year of Yang, a monk must have died due to entanglement.

Yan Guang stared at the entangled flower, took a breath of cold air, gritted his teeth and said, "Set fire and burn this demon flower to death!"

Upon hearing this, the monks around him offered fire talismans, chanted incantations, and shot out fire bombs. At one time, more than a dozen firelights rushed toward the love-wound silk plant.

The originally colorful petals of Tang Qingsi quickly turned into charred black in the flowing fire. Its body shook and made a hissing sound, like a human cry out in pain.

The cultivators felt their backs go numb, and they tightened their grip. The strands of love couldn't bear the heat. Suddenly they trembled, the petals withered, and the flower body shrank into the ground with a "swish".

Yan Guang was stunned. He knew that although the Cang Qingsi plant was afraid of fire, it could not be killed so easily. It must have escaped underground, but he did not have the courage to escape underground and fight to the death with Cang Qingsi. .

Just pretend that you have killed the demon flower and avenged Mu San. Yan Guang looked at the three people of the Vajra Sect again, "Fellow Wuyang, judging from your expression, I am not surprised. You have known about the six-color spiritual lotus for a long time." Is it because of the change of love?"

Wuyang said calmly, "Yes, I think six-color spirit lotus grew in this place before, but unfortunately it was picked away long ago. The love-lace imitating spirit lotus has probably been here for hundreds of years. However, it is said that we did it on purpose. , it would be a big joke to frame you. You planned to sneak attack on my Vajra Gate. How did you even ask about the authenticity of the spirit lotus? "

Yan Guang was speechless for a moment, knowing that his judgment was wrong, but he had always been arrogant, and it was impossible for him to lose face in front of his subordinates. He snorted, "These are just your words. If you didn't deliberately set up a trap, why did you happen to appear in the secret passage?" middle?"

Wuyang sneered, "I should ask you this, right? Why do you appear in the forbidden area of ​​my Vajra Gate?"

Yan Guang laughed, "Your forbidden area, what a joke. This place is obviously a secret hiding place of Zen Buddhism. How did it become your forbidden area?"

Wuyang said, "Huh, that's just because you are ignorant. Liang Tong, I'm impatient to tell you. Tell them."

"Yes, Senior Sister." The young man behind Wuyang took two steps and clasped his fists together, "Fellow Taoists, these words are a bit old. Thousands of years ago, an eminent monk from the Brahma Continent passed by with his disciples. The Yin beasts were rampant and cannibalized people during the day, so they stationed themselves in the Qingdi Valley and built a Vajra Temple with great ambitions to slay the demons. "

"Therefore, in terms of time order, there was the Jingang Temple first and the Jinque Sect later. However, the Jingang Temple gradually declined, and the Jinque Sect rose up and unified the Zhongshan Kingdom. The Jingang Temple was forced to merge into the Jinque Sect and became its affiliated branch."

"The Vajra Temple is naturally full of monks, and the Jinque Sect wants all of them to return to secular life. This has aroused dissatisfaction among the monks in the Vajra Temple. The specific method of mediating this conflict has been unknown for a long time. It is thought that the Jinque Sect is both benevolent and powerful. On the one hand, Vajra The temple was indeed completely converted to secular life and renamed as the Vajra Gate. No mention of the size of the temple was allowed. On the other hand, the abbot of the Vajra Temple entered the Elders Council of the Jinque Sect and even served as the deputy sect leader for a time. "

"In the first thousand years, the senior monks of the Vajra Temple were still monks from the original temple. Although they were forced to grow their hair and return to secular life, they still regarded themselves as Zen Buddhists in their hearts, so they secretly built some Buddhist halls underground to worship them. Buddha and Bodhisattva.”

"Because they were afraid of being discovered by the mother sect, these agencies did not use talisman formations, but used the mechanical power of the world."

After hearing this, Wan Feng believed 80% of the time and asked, "These secret chamber tunnels have been preserved to this day. After so many years, has the Golden Que Mother Sect never discovered them?"

Liang Tong said, "According to our descendants' speculation, the mother sect should have known about this, but they just turned a blind eye. Anyway, the ancestors of the Vajra Temple and the others were just meditating and reciting the Buddha's name in private, so it's no big deal."

Yan Guang said anxiously, "According to what you say, the stone door behind you was a Buddhist temple back then?"

Liang Tong said, "That's right. Although our Vajra Sect is now a lay sect, we dare not forget our ancestors. What's more, we still practice the Buddhist techniques of the past. Therefore, every time we visit the Qingdi Valley, we always I want to come and pay homage to the relics of our ancestors.”

Wan Feng's eyes flickered on the side, and he changed the topic and asked, "Fellow Wuyang, I saw Sect Master Yuan and seven senior brothers going down to the underground palace earlier. I wonder where Sect Master Yuan and the other four senior brothers went? Could it be that, He pointed to the door of the stone hall in front of him, "Have they gone inside to meditate and worship Buddha?"

Wuyang glanced at Wan Feng. She recognized these five people as disciples of the Nine Talisman Sect. He must have been the one who warned her just now. Why didn't his voice sound the same? Well, maybe he was afraid of being discovered by the people at the helm in Yuncheng, so he deliberately changed his voice.

Since he was the savior, Wuyang's tone suddenly became much kinder, "No. Uncle Yuan and Brother Tuo have already rushed deep into the underground palace. If they were here, we would not be entangled by a few beasts."

In the black turtle shell, the Horned Demon Dragon laughed loudly, "Well done! Well done!"

Yan Guang's eyes showed a fierce look, but Wan Feng was asking about something important, so he suppressed his anger and pretended not to hear.

Wan Feng raised his eyebrows and continued to ask, "Fellow Taoist Wuyang, do you know why Sect Master Yuan left in such a hurry?"

Wu Yang shook his head and said, "I don't know about this! Several seniors suddenly received the message, and their expressions changed greatly at that time, so Uncle Yuan, Mr. Xi Da from the Changsheng Sect, oh, and the two masters Liu Fang from the Gui Sect The four seniors discussed it for a while, and then hurried down to the second floor with the disciples who were in the late stage of foundation building. Because my two junior brothers and I were not strong enough, we didn’t have to follow. "

After hearing this, Shi Feng secretly laughed in his heart. This eldest sister is so sincere. She just said whatever Wan Feng asked without telling any lies.

Yan Guang and others heard that the Jindan monks from the three sects had gone away, and they breathed a sigh of relief and felt reassured.

After Wuyang finished speaking, he waved his hand and said, "I have made my words clear. You can go."

Yan Guang said, "Leave? Why should we leave?" Wuyang said angrily, "I have made it clear that this is the forbidden area of ​​my Vajra Sect. If you break in without permission, I will treat you as if you did not know about it in advance and will not hold you accountable. You still want to Where?"

Yan Guang snorted, "Are you too arrogant? This place is the ruins of the Jinque Sect. The Jinque Sect has been extinct for thousands of years. Your Vajra Sect has also been independent for thousands of years. The Qingdi Valley has long become a land without one." , everything is ownerless, how come this place has become your forbidden land?"

Wuyang was furious and looked at Wanfeng. If Wanfeng nodded in agreement, Wuyang would immediately attack. The two mid-stage foundation-building monks joined forces. Although there were many people on the other side, there was only one mid-stage foundation-building expert. And just now, in the hands of Nan Qingsi and Shi Xiong, he broke the After losing four or five skilled players, the two schools of Diamond Nine Talisman may not be able to fight together.

Wan Feng's eyes flickered, he avoided Wuyang's eyes, and said with a smile, "Don't get angry, everyone, let's think about it for a long time." He was also very curious about what was in the stone hall, "If it is convenient, why don't fellow Taoist Wuyang let everyone go in and pay homage to this pair?" Your family has nothing to lose."

Wuyang was immediately disappointed, and Yan Guang laughed loudly when he heard this, "What Taoist Fellow Wan said is absolutely true. We also admire the eminent monks of Jingang Temple very much. Fellow Taoist Wuyang, why don't fellow Taoist Wuyang lead the way and let us juniors go in and burn incense sticks and kowtow? Haha." ”

Wuyang's mood was even hotter than that of the man. He squeezed his fists and was about to use force. Liang Tong next to her hurriedly sent a few words to her. Wuyang frowned, looked at the junior brother next to him who was seriously injured and could not move, and suppressed his anger. , "Okay, if you want to pay homage to the ancestors of the Vajra Gate, Wuyang won't stop you. It's just that the ugly words are ahead. After you enter, you must not damage or damage the objects, let alone blaspheme the ancestors. If you dare to do this, Wuyang will immediately turn against you. The death guard said, you can go in then, but you have to step on my Wuyang's body when you come out."

Yan Guang thought for a moment and said, "That's natural. If it's just a Buddha statue inside, we'll come out soon." What he meant was that if there was a treasure hidden inside, he wouldn't let it go.

Wuyang seemed unable to understand the meaning of his words and said, "Okay, then it's settled, Liang Tong, go and open the palace door."

Liang Tong nodded and walked to the door. He grabbed the copper ring with an animal head on his left and twisted it three times to the left. He grabbed the copper ring with an animal head on his right hand and twisted it three times to the right. Then, he used both hands to twist it hard. Pushing, there was only a "click" sound, and the two heavy stone doors slowly opened, revealing a long corridor.

As soon as the door opened, everyone subconsciously took a few steps back, fearing that some evil beast would rush out or trigger some powerful mechanism.

But nothing happened. The door was open and nothing else was inside. Wuyang sneered and said, "This is my fourth time here. I am familiar with the route. Anyone who wants to come in can come in." After that, he ordered Liang Tong to carry the seriously injured junior brother on his back, and the three of them stepped into the stone gate.

Yan Guang was afraid that Wuyang would do something inside, so he signaled, and the four monks from the branch rudder followed closely behind Wuyang.

The corridor behind the stone gate was actually only six or seven feet long, and then it suddenly opened up, revealing a large hall. The hall was wide enough to accommodate three or four hundred people at the same time.

In the middle of the hall was a majestic Buddha statue, but it was not the Tathagata. This Buddha wore the sun and moon on his head, stepped on auspicious clouds like fire, had a thin face, and held a magic spell in each hand. He did not sit down, but stood upright, with a strong momentum.

Wuyang said, "This is the Buddha of the King of Light, who has been believed in by generations of our Vajra Sect." As he spoke, he knelt down in front of the Buddha statue and kowtowed nine times with great respect. Liang Tong also knelt down and saluted. Even the junior brother who was seriously injured and could hardly move struggled to get up and greet the Buddha.

Yan Guang, Wan Feng and others were not Buddhists, and they ignored all this. They just opened their eyes wide, let go of their consciousness, and looked around.

In the main hall, in addition to the Buddha of Light in the middle, there were twelve huge stone statues of Arhats, six on each side, on both sides of the Buddha.

These twelve Arhats were very strange. They were all naked and in different postures. Some were sitting in meditation, some were lying on their sides, some were standing on one foot, and some were bent like rainbows. In addition, these Arhats had meridian maps painted on their bodies, and there were thick or thin lines connecting the meridians and acupuncture points.

This was clearly a group of qigong diagrams, and judging from the vertical and horizontal lines, it should be a very profound practice.

In any sect, the secret manual of the technique is a secret that is not passed on. It is the most precious treasure, and peeping at the techniques of other sects is a taboo.

Wan Feng was concerned about the friendship between the Nine Talisman Sect and the Vajra Sect, so he couldn't watch directly, but he couldn't help being curious, so he pretended to look at the Buddha of Light King while secretly glancing at it.

The people in the Yuncheng branch didn't have these concerns. They rushed to the Arhat stone statue, and while watching, they held the jade slips in their sleeves and began to record.

Wu Yang and the other two seemed to have seen nothing. They worshiped the Buddha on their own. After worshiping, they moved their lips and recited a long scripture.

After reciting the sutra, Wu Yang took out three giant four-foot-long incense candles from the storage bag, lit them and inserted them into the incense burner in front of the Buddha.
