Chapter 108: The Old Monk's Funeral
After walking not far, Chu Huaichuan had already heard the faint sound of Zen chanting echoing in Tallinn, and the air was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.
Bypassing a few stone towers, a seven-storey tower appeared in front of me, the shape of the vase, there are seven plates, the tower body is auspicious clouds, lions, cranes, lin, deer rush back and forth, monks, laymen, immortals, Buddhas are scattered in all directions.
More than a dozen monks are walking around the pagoda, singing the Buddha's horn in their mouths, the Zen sound is flowing, and the eyebrows are lowered. The stone tower blooms from time to time with all kinds of brilliance, the people and beasts carved on the tower seem to understand the scriptures in the mouths of the monks, one by one some smiles, some rejoice, some nod lightly, and some are silent.
Chu Huaichuan didn't expect to see such a strange scene, and he was stunned for a while.
"My lord," Wang Zhisheng walked a few steps closely, came to Chu Huaichuan's side, and lowered his voice, "These monks are strangely tight, it is said that the old monk who swept the floor only died today, how can he already raise the tower? Could it be that they have the ability to predict the future, and know that the old monk will braided his hair today? Besides, the moon is round and bright tonight, why is it so dim in this tower, looking at the darkness in the sky, you can't see the moon at all." According to the general, it is better to call more brothers in, and if there is anything unusual, we can deal with it. ”
If you put aside the past, Chu Huaichuan really doesn't care about this strange scene in front of him, but tonight he encountered strange things one after another, and he was still in a trance in his mind at this time, and he couldn't tell which things had really happened and which ones were his hallucinations, and when he heard Wang Zhisheng say this, he also felt reasonable, and couldn't help but nod.
"Open the tower—", before Wang Zhisheng left, Chu Huaichuan heard someone shouting loudly.
Colorful light illuminates the night sky, and the sky is all colorful. The immortal Buddha on the tower stands at the four corners, holding half of the tower body to rise little by little, all kinds of beasts crouching under the tower, like a guardian or something, the light is blooming from the center of the tower body.
Chu Huaichuan was not far away, and he was also curious at this time, tiptoeing, wanting to see what was inside the tower, but the light was too bright to see the situation inside the tower at all.
"Greetings to Uncle Fa Driver-", the monks walking around the tower stopped together, stood together, lowered their eyebrows, and looked solemn.
Eight white-robed monks carried a huge Buddha chariot and walked slowly, the Zen chanting in Tallinn was more vigorous, and the colorful light seemed to feel the arrival of the old monk, and suddenly rolled into auspicious clouds, paved down, like a colorful staircase.
The white-robed monks walked to the bottom of the steps and stood still, and the few Rui beasts that had just crouched under the tower suddenly stood up and walked to the front of the steps and fell down.
Chu Huaichuan saw clearly that among these Rui beasts, there were many legendary holy beasts such as Qilin and Pixiu.
What is the identity of the old monk? How could there be such a big battle after his death? Those holy beasts themselves had only heard about it when they were children, but they never thought that one day they would appear alive in front of their eyes, could it be said that this was another illusion?
Chu Huaichuan couldn't believe his eyes now, and the thought flashed through his mind, and the eight white-robed monks had already put the Buddha chariot on the back of the Rui Beast.
"Ang-", the eight beasts groaned in unison, stood up together, and stepped onto the stairs.
The Buddha went up the stairs, and the colorful auspicious clouds rolled upwards and retracted. As the Buddha chariot gets closer and closer to the tower body, the Zen chanting in the forest is getting louder and louder, and the auspicious clouds are floating and scattering to the surroundings, rendering the whole Tallinn like the pure land of the Buddha.
The Buddha finally arrived in front of the tower, and the eight Rui beasts bowed their heads.
"Ascending the altar—", accompanied by a low singing, a white seven-layer lotus emerged in the tower body, and it rotated to the side of the Buddha, as if to welcome some important person, and the layers were opened.
Chu Huaichuan's eyes widened, and a gray-clothed monk slowly rose from the Buddha's chariot, as if someone was dragging him below, floating on top of the lotus.
The monk slumped and slumped, folded his hands, full of compassion, sitting on top of the lotus flower, and a round of colorful treasure light rose from the back of the monk's head, like a round of the sun that illuminated the whole of Tallinn.
The chanting reached its climax at this moment, and every stone tower in the entire Tallinn bloomed with light, and a series of figures appeared in the light, each with a different form, but without exception, they all sang in a low voice.
Chu Huaichuan suddenly felt relaxed physically and mentally at this moment, after so many years of fighting everywhere, whether it was for the country or for the future, in short, he felt tired.
Looking at all this in front of them, everyone seemed so peaceful, so peaceful, as if there was nothing in this world that could move their hearts, and only the Buddha country in front of them was their best destination. Good Mood Literature Network
Chu Huaichuan felt that he was one of them, a part of this quiet Buddha land, there was no more strife and hatred here, all the people looked at him with gentle and kind eyes, Chu Huaichuan felt that he was very safe, he suddenly felt a little sleepy, and slowly closed his eyes.
"I've seen the Lord!" a man who looked like a general in the side hall was standing respectfully in front of a statue of a god, bowing his head.
"Void Lotus—" The gentle voice in the side hall thought of it, if someone was there at this time, it would definitely be frightened, such a beautiful voice actually came from the mouth of the statue on the platform.
The man heard the idol call his name, and bowed lower, "The subordinate is here!"
"Void Lotus!" the idol was satisfied with the man's performance, and a smile appeared on the face of the stone clay sculpture, "I've worked hard for you all these years." ”
"It is the honor of subordinates to serve the Lord, how hard does it come from. The man's waist was almost bent to the ground, and his voice sounded a little shaky, I don't know if it was excitement or fear.
"Our Black Phoenix clan has always had clear rewards and punishments, merit is merit, and passing is passing, you have been committed to serving the enemy all these years, enduring humiliation and burden, these are all in your eyes. You have also done a good job today, and after completing this errand, you can leave the Black Prison Star when you go back, and this seat has set up a place for you in Black Phoenix City, where your family can be reunited. The gentle voice spoke, but the man's ears were like thunder.
The day had been waited too long, and the man lay on the ground, his shoulders shaking.
"Lord, the surnamed Chu must not stay, his subordinates have followed him for many years, as Jian Dahu's right-hand man, his strength is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface, let's be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. The man suddenly remembered something, and while whispering advice, he stretched out his hand and made a motion to wipe his neck.
In the darkness, neither the man nor the statue noticed that among the dozens of statues erected in the side hall, there was a gaze quietly watching them.
"Isn't this Wang Zhisheng?" Chen Shujun has been in this position for four or five hours, his arms, retreat, and waist all hurt, but he didn't dare to move, he didn't dare to do anything, and now he saw someone talking to the demons there, so he hurriedly pricked up his ears to listen, just to divert his attention, otherwise he really couldn't bear it.
Although the side hall was dim, Chen Shujun had already adapted to it, and the man happened to be facing the hall, and he saw it clearly. But when he saw the man's appearance clearly, he was even more shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that the Jian family's army, which had always been known for its strict management of the army, also hid the enemy's spies.
Chen Shujun's heart was a little worried, listening to the man named Wang Zhisheng, the previous general surnamed Chu was in their way, if this was true, this Twin Pagoda Temple would become a trap, just waiting for Jian Dahu to drill into it.
No, I must think of a way, otherwise if Jian Dahu is really killed by them, then how can he escape with his life?
Hearing Wang Zhisheng say that he was going to kill Chu Huaichuan's life, Chen Shujun hated it so much that the roots of his teeth itched, he must rescue Chu Huaichuan before Wang Zhisheng and those demons, otherwise wouldn't the two hundred Mo sword soldiers here all become the enemy's minions?
Finally, when the man followed a woman in purple out of the door, the hall was silent, and it was quiet again, so Chen Shujun dared to quietly touch the door of the palace.
In the back garden of Tallinn, Chen Shujun's destination was very clear, but he didn't go there directly, he knew that such a strange place, even characters like Chu Huaichuan were trapped in it, if he went there rashly like this, he was afraid that if he didn't see anyone, he would lose his life.
After a day of rushing, the temple has been quiet, except for those on duty, most of the soldiers have rested. Three bends and two rounds, Chen Shujun came to the back garden very smoothly, and along the way he didn't forget to steal Chu Huaichuan's talisman in the main hall, even if he encountered danger for a while, with this thing, those demons would be a little jealous.
Hiding in the dark and watching for a long time, the garden is quiet, by the moonlight in the sky, you can vaguely see a few stone towers scattered in all corners of the garden, the night wind rolls up the fallen leaves on the ground, rustling, making people look a little desolate.
Could it be that he went to the wrong place? Chen Shujun was a little puzzled, and he could hear clearly in the side hall that Chu Huaichuan was trapped in the back garden, but now looking at the garden in front of him, how can he look like a cemetery that has long been abandoned, how can a place like this trap a character like Chu Huaichuan?
"Forget it, if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get a tiger? I still have to go in and see clearly, not to mention that the whole temple is full of enemies right now, how can there be any safe place?" After hesitating for a moment, Chen Shujun gritted his teeth, took the long sword in his hand, and tiptoed towards the garden.
Didn't go to the main gate, Chen Shujun secretly climbed over the wall, although he was thinking about how to please Jun Buqi all day long, but he didn't let go of his practice, in addition to Yu Qingyun in Iron Sword Peak over the years, he was the most diligent, no one knew about the entire Iron Sword Peak, Da Ri Sword Song, he also practiced the sixth form, which is also his biggest reliance today.
"Huh-", Chen Shujun went up to the wall, and a black shadow flashed from the grass below with the sound of the wind, and in the dark night, two green lamps fluttered away in the grass.
The sudden cry almost frightened Chen Shujun to fall, lying on the wall and slowing down, taking advantage of this moment to take a closer look, the garden was quiet, there was nothing to cover, and it didn't look like there was any ambush, but such a simple garden, where would Chu Huaichuan be hidden?
