The abbot's ashram on the third floor of the Tower of Trumpet Buds.
"The abbot ... Master, thank you for your trust in me! I—"
Ah Dai saluted respectfully to the old monk, raised his head, and stopped talking.
The old monk smiled slightly and stopped Ah Dai from continuing, "Amitabha, if you don't want to say it, don't say it!" Old monk, my experience of seeing people for so many years tells me that you are a good boy with a kind heart.
And although Geng Ghost failed to peep at the dream last time, he can more or less sense some of your heart, which also confirms my feelings! So I don't want to say it, it's okay, it's okay~"
Ah Dai was relieved, it turned out that there was a ghost factor in it.
However, the old monk's trust in himself cannot be faked, and Ah Dai is still full of respect for him, and he also has a trace of admiration.
"Amitabha, I'm ashamed! The old monk bailed you out this time, in addition to believing that you have other hidden secrets, he also hid a little selfishness of himself..."
Ah Dai understood, and hurriedly continued, "Master Abbot, if you need my help, just say it!" Although we don't have the name of master and apprentice, you taught me knowledge and trusted me to bail me out, and I already have the reality of master and apprentice in my heart! There is a way, the teacher has something, and the disciple obeys it! I'll definitely do my best! The
abbot laughed, "Good, good! What a disciple to do! Based on this sentence, I didn't see the wrong person, old monk! You come with me! The
old monk who was in a good mood even stretched out the wrinkles on his face, and his steps along the way were brisk, and he took Ah Dai all the way down and walked into a remote meditation room on the first floor.
Ah Dai looked at it, the one-way mirror in the corner of the wall was very familiar, wasn't this the room where he was overtaking the second child?
The abbot walked to a Buddhist shrine in the corner, folded his hands, silently recited the Buddha's name, stretched out his hand and pressed the mechanism hidden inside the Buddhist shrine, and a secret door appeared in front of Dai's eyes!
In the dark staircase, the rudimentary lighting device flickered, and the abbot led the way as he said, "Ade, do you know the origin of the Tower of Trumpet Buds?" "
Well, I've heard of this, and legend has it that the central pillar of the tower was built with a horn bud more than 30 meters high."
"That's right, so let's imagine what the strength of the 30-meter-tall trumpet bud would be if the legend was true?"
"30 meters?" Ah Dai raised his head and held his chin and imagined, "In the case of natural growth in the wild, how can you grow to such a big size, how can you have to have a heavenly king level, right?" "
Hehe, yes, why does the horn bud with the strength of the heavenly king sit here?"
"So this legend is fake? That's it, it's not super ancient, where did the giant elves come from~
" Stepping down the last step, the abbot came to a small door and stopped, turning around, Ah Dai saw a complicated smile full of deep meaning on the old monk's face, "No... Legend is true!
Ada's pupils shook, "You mean... Are the 30-meter-tall trumpet buds real? The
abbot nodded, "It used to be!" Stopping
Ah Dai's continued questioning, he asked seriously, "What you are about to see is the biggest secret in the Tower of Horn Buds, and it is also the foundation of the Tower of Horn Buds!" Now that you haven't entered this door, there is still room to exit, but once you do, you will always be burdened with the responsibility of guarding this secret! You...... Are you still willing to accept it?
Adai swallowed, "Why me?" The
abbot pointed to Adai's waist, "Do you remember that token?"
Ah Dai's mind flashed, thinking of the excited expressions of the abbot and Geng Ghost at that time, he suddenly realized, "Is it because of my special ability?"
At the mention of Adai's ability, the abbot's face flashed with excitement, "Yes! That's all I can tell you now, and you'll think about it at the end... Want to go in?
Ah Dai took a deep breath, he had some guesses about the things behind the door, and the power of Chang Pan circulating in his body brought him a lot of confidence, and he nodded solemnly, "There is something to do with the disciple!" The
abbot smiled with satisfaction, and he no longer hesitated, turning and pushing open the wooden door behind him, which had been baptized by the years.
......
Boom Boom!
In the dark room, clusters of firelight are lit one after another, illuminating the entire underground space!
Ah Dai looked into the distance, and saw an incomparably thick "pillar" standing in the center of the underground space!
It's said that it's a pillar just because Adai knows that this is the lower edge of the machia pillar that supports the tower of trumpet buds above, but in fact, you can see what kind of pillar is this?
It's the root of a giant tree with intricate roots!
The round Geng Ghost floated lightly beside the two of them with a torch, it opened its mouth and blew out a cold cold air to extinguish the torch, and then casually stuffed the torch into its body.
It's a space that Gengar has to offer.
Ah Dai looked at Geng Ghost enviously, and looked up to find that Geng Ghost was also looking at him.
"Kouji!"
Geng Ghost dodged and floated to Ah Dai's side and hugged his shoulder, and a sincere happy smile appeared on his originally treacherous face.
The abbot smiled and looked at the interaction between one person and one ghost, and translated, "Geng Ghost said, thank you for making this decision, you will be a good friend it recognizes in the future!" "
Although half of his body was a little numb from the cold, he gained the friendship of the overlord-level elves, and Ah Dai felt that it was worth the money!
A man and a ghost stretched out their fists and touched it lightly, Geng Ghost let go of Ah Dai and fell behind the abbot, although it was stubborn in nature, it also knew that this was an important moment, and did not do anything superfluous.
"Let me tell you a story!"
The old monk shook his robe and walked towards the center of the underground space with Ah Dai.
"Twenty-five years ago, it was just a backward town.
There is a kind-hearted little girl in the town, and one day she rescues a badly injured trumpet bud and takes good care of it. Trumpet is grateful to the girl for saving her life, but her responsibilities as the leader of the clan prevent her from staying with the girl, and she eventually returns to the forest, guarding the herd...
When thinking about the girl, the trumpet bud will come back from time to time and look in the direction of the girl from a distance in the forest, looking forward to the day when they will meet again.
In order for the girl to recognize it at a glance when they meet again, it has not chosen to evolve from beginning to end!
Time passed, and as the roads were opened, the town became wealthy, attracting many wealthy people from outside.
One of the rich men took a fancy to the land of the girl's ancestral house and wanted to seize it by force, but the girl who had grown up tried to stop it but was killed by the cruel rich man at home! The unhindered rich man overturned the girl's ancestral house and wanted to build a luxurious villa, but he never thought that when he was laying the foundation, he dug up a huge stone with a pitch-black body engraved with mysterious runes!
It turns out that the girl's family is a hidden spirit guardian family, guarding the door of the spiritual world buried underground for generations!
This is also the reason why the girl desperately wants to protect the ancestral home!
The light shone into the dark spiritual gate, awakening the former gatekeeper. The long seal has twisted its mind, and it has vowed revenge on the humans who sealed it!
Blinded by hatred, it has opened the door to the spirit world and released the most vicious ghost spirits in it!
For a time, a hundred ghosts are on a daily trip! Kikyo Town has been reduced to a ghost.
Passing by a monk who was unkind to the world, he stepped forward and worked together with his elven companions to temporarily stop the revelry ghosts!
But after all, it is difficult to beat four hands with two fists, and under the surging ghost tide that continues to gush, the monk gradually loses its support...
At this time, the horn bud, who had a premonition that something was wrong with the girl, returned! At this point, it has already reaped the adventure, breaking through the limits of growth and turning into a giant trumpet bud 30 meters high!
Furious, the giant trumpet bud who learned the news of the girl's death led his people to drive the hundred ghosts back into the spiritual gate.
When he came to the boulder, Trumpet Bud looked at the ruins, and the girl's voice and appearance appeared in front of him, crying bitterly.
And the profound Buddhist monk suddenly sensed the girl's soul, and the girl's soul, which was supposed to dissipate, was captured by the gate of the spirit world because of her own strong obsession before death, and became an earthbound spirit!
With the help of the monk and his elf companion, the girl's soul was successfully released, and the soul and flower were finally reunited again after many years...
The girl begged her childhood friend to reseal the door of the spirit world for her, and after receiving the promise of the trumpet, she dissipated into the world with relief.
Trumpet Ya blames herself for the girl's death, thinking that if she doesn't leave, she can block this difficulty for the girl! Watching the girl dissipate, it made a decision to coil its rhizome around the gate of the spirit world and seal it with its own body!
The surging life energy and the endless stream of ghost energy entangled with each other in his body to cancel out the pain caused by it, became its best anesthetic...
This is more than 200 years, during which the monk felt the feelings between a person and a flower and the courage of the trumpet bud to fulfill the promise with his own life, and could not bear to see it devastated by the wind and rain, so he built a Buddhist temple with its huge branches as the center, and since then he has lived in seclusion here, taking care of the trumpet bud whose consciousness is gradually blurred...
Today, the town of Kikyo has become a famous city in Chengdu... The local people have forgotten the tragic past, leaving only a monumental pagoda... In the pagoda,The original monk has been ancient,But the sect he handed down has always guarded this secret..."
After listening to the whole story, Ah Dai fell into silence, and when he looked at the giant root again, there was a heavy respect in his eyes.
No matter what the reason, heroes who dare to face a hundred years of loneliness and sacrifice themselves in exchange for hundreds of years of peace in the world are worthy of Ada's respect!
There is an allusion to the Buddha feeding the eagle with his body in the Buddhist scriptures, and now there are trumpet buds to seal the hundred ghosts with his body, presumably this is also the reason why the abbot respects it so much!
As the same empty river said, the Buddha is in the heart!
This trumpet bud is the Buddha in the hearts of the abbots!
Stepping on the spreading rhizome, Adai looked at the spectacular scene in front of him, even though he had an expectation in his heart, but as the distance approached, the shock in his heart was indescribable!
The diameter of the giant root light in front of you is 6 meters,The dense rhizomes below are spread out, covering an area of 50 square meters! Its branches are 20 cm thick in diameter and 10 cm in diameter, and they are almost the same as ordinary trees outside, and walking in them is like being in a dense forest!
Just by looking at the roots, you can tell what a huge plant it is!
Such a well-developed rhizome, in his previous life, Adai had only seen it in banyan trees and mangroves... It's just that the rhizome here is much thicker than that of banyan trees and mangroves, and this comes from a trumpet bud with an average height of only 0.7 meters!
The abbot stood in front of the dense forest of rhizomes.
"Shocked?"
Ah Dai raised his head and opened his mouth wide, "Shock! It's really... It's magnificent! The
abbot sighed bitterly, "Well, I wish it hadn't been so impressive, it hadn't spread here the last time I came... This shows that its own energy can no longer resist the erosion of the Spirit Gate, and it has begun to seek support from the outside world..."
Adai suddenly turned his head and exclaimed, "It's really still alive!?" And still grow?
Ah Dai had some guesses about this conclusion, but he was still very shocked when it was verified, after all, he had been to the Trumpet Bud Tower so many times, and he had never seen a giant Trumpet Bud bud on the top of the Trumpet Bud Tower!
Is this trumpet bud a punishment day? Can you live without a head?
The abbot shook his head, "Raw? Die? It's hard to define its state at this point... Amitabha, why don't you ask it yourself! "
