Chapter 115: A Strange Park
She researched the map not to find geographical locations and directions to decide where to go next, but to provide inspiration for herself through the abundance of place names. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
A place with a lot of aura is not necessarily a famous mountain and river, but it may also be a city with a lot of spiritual people. Where there is a lot of aura, it is not limited to the conditions of natural formation, and it is also possible that some kind of human activity happened to form a similar formation and changed the local "momentum".
Where there is a lot of aura, there must be more "treasures", and this kind of "baby" will not be limited to things, but also includes people, so if she wants to go to a place with relatively more aura, just find those places where there are many celebrity anecdotes since ancient times.
There are many such places in Huaxia! For example, Luocheng, such as Ancheng, and Qucheng, and there is a very small Jicheng that cannot be shown on the detailed map of the whole country, but there are 3,000 jinshi, these places can be used as her destination. Combined with the natural geography around these cities, she finally chose Ancheng as her first stop, because the area where Ancheng is located has a huge mountain range, and this large mountain range has been recognized as the dragon vein of the Huaxia Kingdom since ancient times, including its main peak, Taibai Mountain, and other places such as Zhongnan Mountain, Huashan Mountain, Maiji Mountain, etc., which is not enough for her to explore and toss? She felt that she could touch this huge mountain range roughly, and the resources she got were enough for her to cultivate. If you can retreat with peace of mind for a few months, you may be able to break through the foundation building period and enter the period of rotation in one fell swoop! This mountain range is the famous Qinling Mountains, and she has another even louder ancient name, that is, Kunlun, where the legendary Queen Mother of the West lived!
After finalizing the destination, she put away the map, put on a huge backpack, booked a ticket online and left!
Thanks to the development of the motherland, it only took her six hours to get from the capital to Anseong! It was still afternoon when she got off the train, and because the bullet train was very comfortable, she didn't waste a little more calories at all, so that she didn't feel hungry because it was inconvenient to buy food at noon and didn't eat lunch.
She closed her eyes and felt the surrounding environment, and sure enough, although there were still few small points of aura around her, they were much richer than those in the capital. Quietly sucked some, so that the meridians that had not been inhaled for a long time and had been running all the time were relieved a little, and she left the station to find a hotel to open a room and live temporarily.
After settling down, she ran out of the door again, searched and found a small shop with not so many people, went in to "ransack", bought all the things that could be eaten ready-made, nibbled on a large bread all the way, and carried a dozen large plastic bags larger than her before returning to the hotel room under everyone's attention and turning back.
She didn't want to go to the hotel restaurant or any restaurant outside to attract onlookers because of her food, so she could only use these things to solve the problem of food and clothing. After eating these foods as quickly as possible, she diligently sat down and cultivated, constantly attracting small points of spiritual energy from the surroundings, and then absorbing and assimilating, the big dantian that had been consumed because of refining medicine and had not been replenished finally felt the beauty of slowly filling up again.
The next morning, she left the hotel and walked around Ancheng, last night when she was practicing, she studied the pattern of the city by the way, and found that the place with the strongest aura was located in the northwest of the city, and she specially checked the detailed map of Cha'an City, where there were three towers that were very worthy of her attention.
Sensing all the way towards these three towers, when she was within a kilometer radius of them, a very slight static induction penetrated her body, and then a very majestic momentum rushed towards her, almost catching her off guard and falling to the ground!
She hurriedly activated the aura in her body, and at the same time released her foundation building period momentum to resist the oppression of this momentum. Fortunately, after only two or three seconds, she felt that this momentum was powerless, different from when it suddenly appeared, but slowly dissipated between heaven and earth, making her feel relaxed again.
She looked around suspiciously, but there was no suspicious sign in her senses, except for the pedestrians and the rows of buildings. However, she hadn't forgotten the static electricity that passed through her body just now, which was a very typical feeling that the monk could feel when she passed through a certain formation! This showed that this area was shrouded by a certain formation, and the center of the formation, if she guessed correctly, should be these three towers standing not far away!
In the Xiuzhen Continent, the existence of formations is not strange at all, but in this world where even Xiuzhen is only a legend, there are formations? This is simply a subversion of her common sense experience! It's a pity that she has been studying pills all her life, and the formations are limited to those related to alchemy, and she can only use them in other fields and don't know the Tao in them. Therefore, for this formation, she can only judge whether it should be defensive or bonus, and the rest is completely indistinguishable.
But it doesn't matter, the existence of something "abnormal" like a formation is enough to show that there must be something strange here, and it's always right to take a look.
She walked forward for a few more minutes and came to an open city park, where one of the three towers seemed to be located. The park is a free and open public place, but at this moment, I don't know if it's because Anseong also suffered an outbreak of mites not long ago, or because the time is wrong, standing in the very open square in front of the park and looking in, there is no figure visible as far as the eye can see.
She entered the park, walked all the way to speed up the exercises, entered the cultivation state, and tried to absorb the richer aura here, and at the same time pay attention to the place where the aura was more intense, and slowly approached the tall tower.
The park is huge, with towering trees and winding paths that intersect with trees and landscape architecture, so that she walked around for more than ten minutes before she reached the bottom of the tower. It had been a few minutes, and she hadn't seen a single figure, which made her very suspicious!
It stands to reason that the middle-aged and elderly people in Huaxia are the most fond of morning exercises, in such a large and good park, there is no one to exercise or dance early in the morning, is it possible that they are all scared by the mite slaves that broke out in the same way as in the capital before, so no one goes out again?!
After a few more minutes, when she finally approached the tower, she realized why there was no one in the park! Because on a low wall in front of the tower, someone had sprayed a large skull with bright red paint, and the word "haunted" was written next to the skull!
In the open space in front of the low wall, there were many incense sticks and short sticks of candles after they had been burned, and there were several places on the dark ground that someone must have burned something in that place. Combined with the "haunting" on the low wall, she judged that the burned thing should probably be paper money or charms or something like that.
She was pinned to the spot by what she saw, not knowing whether to continue walking or retreating. It turns out that the reason why no one is coming to this park is because there is some serious haunting incident here? So that there is no one in the early morning? How serious is the haunting, so that everyone can acquiesce to this at the same time? If this is the case, the city forum of Anseong should have a clue.
As soon as she wanted to take out her mobile phone to search it, she heard a burst of chanting at the entrance of the park, and her divine sense instantly released the cover, and sure enough, she saw a group of nine monks wearing khaki monk's robes walking towards here, each with their hands together and chanting scriptures that they couldn't understand. Behind them were many ordinary people, each holding a bouquet of incense that had been lit in their hands, all of them silently following behind the monks with half-closed eyes, and also walking towards here.
How does all this in front of her feel like she is in the feudal superstition scene of an ancient novel, otherwise it would still be seen in modern society, or in such a big city with a high degree of modernization, this is too unscientific!
She was so curious that she decided to stay here and see what would happen. After looking left and right, she retreated to the pavilion next to her, pretending that she was the one who came to exercise early in the morning, anyway, she wore sportswear all year round, and walked this morning again, looking exactly like the person exercising, without arousing suspicion at all.
The monks chanted and walked, and after a while they arrived at the entrance and exit of the low wall in front of the tower, they stood there and waited until they finished reciting the scriptures before stopping, and one of the older monks raised their heads and saw Su Lingyao sitting in the pavilion looking at him, and was taken aback! When he saw clearly that it was a little girl, he breathed a sigh of relief and calmed down, and shouted at Su Lingyao.
"Little girl, why are you here? Didn't anyone tell you that the park was closed and you couldn't come?"
When Su Lingyao heard that this monk actually spoke in plain language, she was even more curious. Generally, monks should not call people "donors", "female donors" and the like, they are all played like this in TV series, and Tang Seng is called so. And in modern times, monks generally call laypeople "laymen" or something, why does this monk call her "little girl" as soon as he opens his mouth, which is too unreasonable and her imagination.
Taking advantage of what the monk asked her, she walked out of the pavilion and walked towards them, answering as she went, "I? I just came to Anseong yesterday, and I haven't heard anything about it here, so I got up early in the morning and came here for morning exercises." Master, what's going on with you, why do you come here early in the morning to recite the scriptures?"
"Oh yo, you little girl is so young and bold alone! Quick, come to Auntie, take a pillar of incense and light it, fortunately you are here after dawn, so nothing happened, light this pillar of incense to keep you safe." As for this, it's better not to inquire about it, and don't come here again in the future. Do you hear that?"
Before the monk could speak, a middle-aged woman beckoned to her to come over, and took out three sticks of incense from the cloth pocket she was carrying and handed them to her.
Originally, she wanted to go to the monk's place, but as soon as she saw the incense handed over by the aunt, her nose twitched twice and she smelled the strong smell of wormwood from the incense, so she turned around halfway, walked to the aunt, took the incense and looked at it carefully.
Wormwood in some legends has the effect of driving away evil spirits and keeping the gods safe, and the wormwood incense made of it is not generally used! Think about it, usually worship ancestors or go to the temple to worship, who will hold the thing to drive away evil spirits, their ancestors are not evil spirits, Bodhisattva Buddha is even more unlikely to be evil spirits, most of the people used when worshipping them are sandalwood, only the former kind of goddess or Maoshan Taoist priest and the like will use it, but now, everyone here uses this kind of wormwood incense.
The aunt saw that she took the incense she had given, pulled the corner of her clothes, pulled her into her own group of ordinary people, and stood with them.
The monks turned to look at her, and the nine people scattered along the low wall, eight of them stood in eight directions, and the big monk who saw her first stood in the middle of the entrance and exit of the low wall, took out a large stack of raw-edged paper with words written on it from his cloth pocket and put it on the ground in front of him, pressed it with a stone to prevent the wind from blowing the paper away, closed his eyes and recited the sutra again.
This time he recited the sutra alone for a very short time, as if he had only said a few words to finish it, and as he finished reading this scripture, the ordinary people on her side also took out their own stack of paper from the same cloth pocket on their bodies, and put it on the ground in front of them like a great monk.
When they had finished arranged, the monks who were standing in eight directions sat down cross-legged at the same time, closed their eyes and recited in unison in front of the tower, judging by the ears of her monks, that they should be reciting the same scriptures as they had come.
As the scriptures sounded, the others conjured a lighter from various places and burned the paper with the words written one by one, and as more and more paper was burned, the fire became bigger and bigger, and the traces of burning paper were left on the concrete floor.
She glanced over to the aunt and found that the words on the paper were all Sanskrit scriptures, and she couldn't read "what a moo" or something like that. She looked at other people's again, and the same content was the same, the difference was that some people wrote with a brush, some people wrote with a pen, and some people wrote neatly.
She picked up her eyes and looked at the great monk, the content of the great monk was the same, but the words were better than everyone else.
Is this burning scriptures for this tower or the ghosts in the tower?! She was stunned to see the behavior of these people, and she was even more confused about the situation in front of her!
