Chapter 13 The Ancient Temple of the Barren Mountain
When he first entered the Forbidden City, Guo Yi really didn't know how to get to the City Lord's Mansion, so he had to let this dead fat man lead the way.
Hua Erlou was happy to fart, and hurriedly called a white jade tooth car the size of a house, the tooth car was pulled by the nine-headed lion tiger beast, the speed was extremely fast, and it could run three thousand miles in one hour.
The Forbidden City didn't know how huge it was, and the nine lion and tiger beasts pulled for nearly half an hour before slowly stopping.
The two of them walked out of the tooth cart, and a large area of deep castles appeared in front of them, the vicissitudes of life and the towering castles, I don't know how many years they have existed, many of them have been deserted, and the owners of the castles have died for hundreds of years. But some of the castles are still new, with faint lights shining in the night, and they seem to be still inhabited.
Walking along a granite avenue towards the depths of the complex, there are often strange sounds around, and there seem to be white shadows floating in some deserted castles, making the sound of ghosts crying, which is very scary.
Guo Yi glared at the second floor of Hua, and said in a low voice: "What kind of road are you taking? What kind of place is this? Why do I feel that I am walking into the Netherworld Mansion step by step?"
Hua Erlou's face turned pale with fright, his eyes kept moving, and he said, "I also heard from the seniors in the family that the City Lord's Mansion is in the depths of this group of ancient castles, built on a deep cold pool. ”
"The Forbidden City Lord is really a heavy taste, and he is not afraid of being scared to death if he builds the City Lord's Mansion in this ghost place. ”
As the two of them continued to walk, the castle began to become scarce, and palaces with red walls and green tiles appeared in front of them, each of which was huge, like a royal palace.
Some palaces have been dilapidated and turned into a pile of rubble, while some palaces are full of lights and lively, and the laughter of warblers and swallows comes from the palaces.
"Who live in these palaces and castles?" asked Guo Yi.
Hua Erlu buried his head, his body was terrified, and said: "I have never heard that there are people living here, and legend has it that there have been earth-shattering changes here, and everyone has died." ”
Guo Yi suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if there was a pair of eyes behind him looking at him, swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, and said in a low voice: "Then these people ......"
Hua Erlou and Guo Yi glanced at each other, and then looked at those palaces and castles, and felt cold sweat on the soles of their feet, and their bodies did not obey the call.
"I knew this place was so weird, so I came back during the day. ”
Guo Yi wanted to turn around and leave, but at this moment he saw a black figure leaping out of an abandoned palace, like a ghost heading straight towards the depths of the palace complex.
"What the hell!"
Hua turned around on the second floor and ran, but was grabbed back by Guo Yi, and said in a low voice: "Why do I think that figure is a little familiar?"
"No, you also have a relationship with the ghost? You go and have a relationship with the ghost yourself, I won't accompany you, and I won't go to the city lord's mansion, I'll go home and sleep." ”
Hua Erlou wanted to run again, but when he turned around, he saw that there was still a road behind him, a brightly lit palace completely cut off the back road, and the palace wall was like a fine copper cast, which was extremely hard.
"Can these palaces still move on their own?" Guo Yi's heart also began to feel weak.
Hua Erlou's face turned the color of pig liver, and he even had the heart to cry: "This is the sealing array set up by someone, and it is likely to be the ghosts of those immortal cultivators who have died." ”
Now I can only move forward, and going to the City Lord's Mansion is the only way to live.
Hua Erlou muttered as he walked: "The legend is true, every generation of Forbidden City Lords was born to suppress the terrifying existence here, and I am afraid that there is a big secret hidden here." ”
The two walked for nearly ten miles, but there was still no cold pool, and the palace in front of them was even more scarce, only a ruined temple was located on a barren mountain.
There is a magic lamp lit in the ruined temple, and the light swings out nine halos to illuminate the surroundings.
It is a temple made of ancient stone, with four walls in tatters, the roof tiles almost gone, and only a clay statue of the god in front of the lamp is spotless.
Looking through the doors and windows of the broken temple, I found that the clay statue of the god had a long green face, fangs, a one-foot-long red tongue, and black hair on its body, like a ghost, very hideous and terrifying.
Guo Yi and the others only glanced at each other, and they no longer dared to look inside, but at this glance, Guo Yi saw the black figure again, who seemed to be kneeling in front of the ghostly statue to worship.
"Did you see it, that black figure, it's really familiar. Guo Yi stopped, wanting to climb the barren mountain and go to the ruined temple to see who it was.
Hua Erlou had palpitations, and he also nodded: "I also have a familiar feeling, as if I have seen it somewhere." ”
The two of them throbbed in their hearts, looked at each other at the same time, and exclaimed.
"Little smoke. ”
"Little Smoke Girl. ”
Guo Yi decisively vetoed: "It can't be her, this place even us big men are scared, and she dares to be alone here?"
"Not necessarily, the first time I saw Little Smoke Girl, I found that she was flying in the air high in the sky, like a female ghost, I thought I was dazzled, but now it seems that I was not wrong at all. "Hua on the second floor.
Even a high-level martial saint who opened the door of cultivating immortals couldn't empty the void, how did she do it, Xiaoyan? Could it be that she still hides her strength in front of me, or is she really a female ghost?
"Let's go up the mountain and have a look. Guo Yi dragged the second floor of Hua with a reluctant face and was about to climb the barren mountain.
The barren mountains are desolate, the ancient trees are dilapidated, and the night shadows are swaying, just like walking in a ghostly forest.
The cold wind howled, and the grass came with the sound of foreign objects gnawing.
Along the way, Hua Erlou wanted to turn around and run several times, but Guo Yi was caught back, holding one of his thighs, like dragging a dead pig, and walked to the top of the mountain step by step.
"I'm telling you, this is sending you to death, this is obviously a ghost mountain. ”
"The ghost mountain also has to break through, I promised Li Yuan to take care of his sister, and I must not let it go. Guo Yi said.
Hua was dragged to the ground by Guo Yi on the second floor, and seemed to be enjoying it, and said with a smile: "So who let it go that night and helped me open the door?"
Guo Yi threw the second floor of Hua to the ground and scolded: "Who knew that you, a dead fat man, already had eighteen wives, and you pretended to be an infatuator." As he spoke, he was going to pinch out a few catties of fat on him.
Hua Erlou was like a wild boar, crawling fast, avoiding Guo Yi, and said: "According to my years of emotional experience, you kid is interesting to Xiaoyan girl, that's why you have such an extreme approach, you are testing her." If I do walk through the door that night, I'm sure you're going to play with me. ”
"You dead fat man, don't shout, who would be interesting to a little girl with confused thinking logic, Young Master Ben has a very high vision, at least at the level of Yan Hong's tears, I can only see it." ”
Hua Erlu looked like an old pedant, and said: "Don't admit it, men are cheap like this, when a woman likes him, he always pretends to be very forced subconsciously, and tries the woman's bottom line in various ways, which is a practice that outweighs the losses, and the final result is often not good." ”
"A junior brother like you will always make this kind of mistake, I won't, if a woman likes me, I will take it as my wife. Hua Erlou spoke earnestly, as if he was teaching an apprentice.
"I don't even know what you're talking about. Guo Yi buried his head and left, and the pace towards the top of the mountain to break the temple was faster, and in the end it had been raised to full speed, like a shadow speeding on the mountain road.
"You say you don't care, man!"
Hua Erlou looked at Guo Yi's back and sighed, and suddenly the wind around him suddenly rose, like thousands of Yin soldiers roaring like this, and suddenly Hua Erlou was frightened, and hurriedly chased Guo Yi, shouting: "Damn, what the hell, wait for me!"
No one has been here for many years on this barren mountain, the mountain road has almost disappeared, and there is an old tree on the top of the mountain, the old tree looks like a person, the limbs, the head, and the nine orifices are almost intact, like a giant standing on the top of the mountain. There were also a few jackdaws perched in the trees, making terrible cries in the night.
Under the old tree, there is a dilapidated ancient temple, like an old man who has been stumbling through the years, full of holes, and time has almost worn it out.
The tiles of the ancient temple are almost gone, and the rotten walls of the earth wall are piercing, and it seems that they will crumble at the slightest touch.
There was a faint oil lamp lit in the ancient temple, and the ancient Buddha horn could be vaguely heard coming from the ancient temple, and the sound of chanting came from the ground outside the ancient temple. There seem to be thousands of monks buried under the ancient temple, all of whom are reciting ancient scriptures with their eyes open.
"Bodhi Temple. ”
In front of the temple gate, an almost completely weathered stone tablet is engraved with these three ancient characters.
After Hua Erlou saw the stele, his face became even paler, and he was so frightened that he fell straight back, and he was almost scared to death without catching his breath.
Guo Yi hurriedly picked him up and asked, "What is the secret of this Bodhi Temple?"
Hua Erlou's whole body was weak, and he didn't get up from the ground several times, and finally lay down directly on the ground, saying: "This is a taboo in the Forbidden City, legend has it that five thousand years ago, the Forbidden City was not called the Forbidden City, but 'Hidden City'." The ghost city is the first major immortal holy city in the Ghost Mountain Range, with many strong people and masters like clouds. An old monk named Bodhi came here to preach, this old monk's cultivation is extremely profound, and just a Buddhist mantra has defeated all the immortal cultivators in the city. ”
"The true meaning of Buddhism is recited in the hidden city, the Bodhi Temple was established at that time, thousands of Buddhist disciples, prosperous and brilliant, in this like the sun, no one expected that the old monk of Bodhi went crazy overnight, turned into a hideous Shura with black hair all over his body, almost slaughtered the entire hidden city, and even those Buddhist disciples were not spared. That night there was a river of blood, a mountain of bones piled up, and the ghost city turned into purgatory. ”
Guo Yi looked at the temple in front of him that was almost about to turn into dust, and he didn't dare to come out, unable to imagine the glory of this place five thousand years ago.
"And then?"
Hua Erlou continued: "Just when the ghost city almost turned into ashes, the first generation of the Forbidden City Lord appeared! The first generation of the Forbidden City Lord was a man or a woman, and it was impossible to determine whether he (she) and the mad demon turned into a Bodhi old monk had an earth-shattering battle, the mountains and rivers were broken, the sun and the moon trembled, and finally the first generation of the Forbidden City Lord suppressed the mad demon, and he never left the ghost city since. And added the word 'forbidden' to the ghost city, changing the 'ghost city' to 'the forbidden city'. ”
Why would an enlightened monk go crazy overnight and become a hideous monster who kills people without blinking?
What is the matter with the palace and the castle outside the ancient temple? The figures in the palace and the lights in the castle are the so-called people or the ghosts?
Suddenly, Guo Yi recalled the scene he saw on the top of the mountain outside the city that night, an old man was imprisoned in a sacred tower, and he was still smiling at Guo Yi, and then Li Xiaoyan actually came to the top of the mountain, is it really just a coincidence?
Hua Erlou persuaded: "This is a big forbidden place, let's not go in." ”
Guo Yi looked towards the Bodhi Temple, and finally decided to go in to find out, but before he stepped on the first stone step, the entire barren mountain trembled violently, and the jackdaws on the old trees also made a terrifying chirping, just like the howl of a person before death, which was extremely terrifying.
A cold wind blew through the cheeks, like a knife cutting, through the crack in the door of the ancient temple, the statue of the god actually became a ** Buddha, compassion and Pudu, the Buddha statue above the Buddha light is thousands, as if it can purify all the dirt in the world.
The most surprising thing is that the black figure that was originally kneeling in front of the statue disappeared, and the ancient temple was empty.
"Why did the hideous ghost statue suddenly become the ** Buddha, and where did the black figure go?
The barren mountain is not high, and the trees are very scarce, so you can see everything in the ancient temple from the bottom of the mountain. Guo Yi went all the way up the mountain, but he didn't see anyone walking out of the ancient temple, so where did the black figure go?
