Chapter 1 Meditation Monastery

It is rumored that the first ancestor of Cihang Jingzhai 'Dini' was a figure in the Eastern Han Dynasty, who studied Buddhism in the White Horse Temple before becoming a monk, and then met the first generation of the Demon Gate 'Evil Emperor' Xie Wei, the two had fallen in love, and also read the "Dao Heart Cultivation Demon Dafa" that was collected to the family and the hundred secret books of the sons of the Sons and Sons and watched, but finally broke up due to the differences between the two on Buddhism.

Later, in order to cut off the relationship, he escaped into the empty door, and at the age of forty, he had an epiphany when he sat in dry meditation, left Buddhism, and integrated the two exercises of Buddhism and Taoism, and created the sword technique on the other side, which is the predecessor of the "Cihang Sword Codex". After more than ten years of traveling all over the world, he finally founded Cihang Jingzhai, and then received disciples to pass on the sword technique, which is that the people of Jingzhai are all women, and many of them are leading the practice, and the head of the door is the master of Cihang Jingzhai.

Since the establishment of Cihang Jingzhai by Dini, Jingzhai has united with Jingnian Zen Monastery to become the supreme representative of Baidao martial arts, both born and entered the world, and was born to practice the way of heaven and understand the mysteries of heaven; Joining the WTO is to restrain the most powerful faction of the Demon Gate from afar, and prevent them from coming out to make trouble and cause harm to the world. And in the event of chaos in the world, Jing Zhai tries to support the true son of heaven who can benefit all the people, so that the world will turn from chaos to rule.

In recent days, it has been rumored that Ning Daoqi, the great master of the Central Plains martial arts, will personally hand over the He family bi to the representative concubine of Cihang Jingzhai in Luoyang, in order to build momentum for the son of true destiny.

In the Dongjia Restaurant in Luoyang, Ba Fenghan, Kou Zhong, and Xu Ziling have not seen each other for many days, and they drank here after returning to Luoyang. When he heard about some secrets in the rivers and lakes, Kou Zhong drank a glass of wine and said in amazement: "How can you know everything about such a secret thing, Lao Ba?" ”

Ba Feng said lightly: "I came to Middle-earth this time, in addition to being a necessary process for cultivation, because I admired the long-standing culture of your country, so I paid special attention to holy places with a long history like Cihang Jingzhai, and I knew a little more than ordinary people. ”

Kou Zhongqi said: "You have always relied on your martial arts to be very strong, and I have rarely heard you so modest." ”

Ba Fenghan smiled dumbly and said: "The three of us are not your brothers, our martial arts have reached the peak, and now we are still groping for an ideal person in the dark, how can we make progress without being humble." Hey, this trip to Luoyang, you will definitely be able to see a lot of heroes. As he spoke, he looked at the two of them: "I think this place will soon become a flesh and blood millstone, and the people who contribute flesh and blood are those heroes in the rivers and lakes, is that millstone?" Naturally, it is your brother of the Son of Heaven, I believe that judging from his current skill to easily kill Qu Ao, even if Ning Daoqi comes, he will have to be deflated. ”

Hearing this, Kou Zhong laughed and said: "It's comfortable to listen to you, now we are the head dragon of Luoyang, and with our two brothers covering you, we will definitely be able to make you have a good fight." ”

Ba Feng smiled coldly: "The fight is avoided, I just want to watch it this time, so as to improve my vision." ”

"Are you afraid of being implicated??"

Xu Ziling said: "You Bafenghan shouldn't be such a person who has no fight!" ”

"Hey, it's not a secret, since I saw that your Tianzi brothers easily solved Qu Ao and his party, and those bold words he said, I don't want to fight in Luoyang, because I don't want to be a member of the mill."

Ba Fenghan spread his hands and said with a smile: "Otherwise, you will die here without even having a chance to escape." ”

Hearing this, Ssangyong fell silent.

Luoyang Festival, this sentence is not just talking.

It is necessary for human life to sacrifice to heaven.

However, time passed like this, and two months later, when Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, and Ba Fenghan were strolling around the main street of Luoyang, they found that many people dressed in rivers and lakes had entered Luoyang City.

In the imperial city, Wei Zheng took the secret report presented by Xuxingzhi and read: "At present, Luoyang is already mixed with dragons and snakes, there are people from Li Valve, people from Yu Yuanlang, people from Liu Wuzhou, people from Dou Jiande, people from Song Valve, and the little Khan Tuli of the Turks. Among them, there are many people in the rivers and lakes, such as Wang Bo, Ouyang Xiyi, evil monks, Yanni, Dugu Valve and others, and even people from the Demon Gate. ”

Haihu listened to the information, and tapped his fingers on the desk: "Is there any news about Ning Daoqi and Concubine Xuan." ”

"Nope."

Wei Zheng bowed his head and said, "I'm afraid they won't come to Luoyang." ”

"No, it's already here, because I still sense a strange energy hovering around Luoyang."

Haihu's eyes burst with an indescribable look, and he looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Release the news that He Shibi is in Jingnian Zen Temple, and by the way, tell Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and let them go to Jingnian Zen Temple to take He's Bi from me." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wei Zheng nodded and bowed back.

That night, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, dressed in black, sat on a hillside outside the city, looking at the magnificent temple on a hill in the far south, where was the Jingnian Zen Temple.

"See?"

Kou Zhong pointed to the Zen courtyard and said, "He's Bi is there." ”

"With it, Ah Hai is the true son of heaven who combines the three of the longevity recipe and Yang Gong's treasure house."

Xu Ziling also said quietly: "After the world is calmed down, I can really live a free life." ”

"Don't think about it for too long, maybe you won't want to leave when the world is calm!"

Kou Zhong resolutely stood up and said: "According to the route set by Ah Hai for us, he will pick us up, now while there are still three hours before dawn, we will try our luck, otherwise if we let the senior concubine take the treasure and give it away, the dream of our three brothers will all be ruined." ”

"Did she send it away??"

Thinking of Haihu's current terrifying strength, Xu Ziling's body trembled: "As long as she comes to Luoyang, she will never have to leave." ”

"Dang!"

The melodious sound of the bell spreads from the temple on the top of the mountain.

The two of them hid in a big tree outside the temple gate, and they both cried out in their hearts, who would have thought that the scale of the temple would be so grand.

When I looked at the hill slope earlier, because the temple was hidden in the forest, I thought that there were only a few temples, but now when I came to the door, I realized that the buildings in the temple added up to more than hundreds, just like a small city, but the monks lived inside.

"There are seven halls in the middle, what should be the Manjushri Palace, the Mahavira Palace, the Immeasurable Hall and so on, how to find it?"

Kou Zhong leaned over to Xu Ziling's ear and asked, "According to what Ah Hai said, where should it be?" Then he pointed to a building behind him that shimmered in the lamplight, much smaller than the other temples, and said, "It is the bronze hall that can live forever, and only copper can separate the strange power of the Hebi from the rest of the bald heads." ”

"My God, such a copper hall with a width and depth of three zhang and a half, not only needs a lot of gold and copper, but also has a real master and craftsman, with the gold and silver of the Song treasury to cast, can not cast such a bronze temple, this Zen temple is really rich!"

Xu Ziling's eyes also flashed with some little stars: "Rich and rival the country, really rich and rival the country!" ”

"Hmph, monks don't do business, don't farm, and don't rely on the gold and silver donated by kind-hearted people, if they rely on fate, they will be reincarnated for a hundred generations and will never want to cast such a bronze hall."

Kou Zhong made a quiet gesture: "Shhhh ”

At this moment, the monks are doing evening classes, and the sound of chanting sutras in bursts of Sanskrit seems to come from an unknowable distance and spread all over the temple.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling cautiously sneaked with bated breath, and in this holy place of Buddhism, they were like entering a no-man's land, and climbed on the high-rise building where a huge bell weighing 1,000 catties was placed, overlooking the situation near and far.

The main buildings in the temple are arranged on the central axis facing the temple gate, with the copper hall as the center of the temple, and the scale is complete and uniform.

Except for the bronze hall, all the buildings are covered with three-color glazed tiles, and the color is as good as new, but I don't know whether it is because the monks in the temple are diligent in cleaning, or the tiles are so. In particular, the peacock blue in the three colors is the most dazzling. You can imagine the sparkling scene in the sunlight.

The bell tower where they stood was located between the bronze hall and the other main hall, but the distance between them varied greatly, the former being far away and the latter near. There is a vast platform square that reaches 100 zhang in front of the copper hall, is built with white stone, and encloses the white stone carved railing.

In the middle of the white stone square, a bronze statue of Manjushri is enshrined, riding on the back of a golden lion, up to two zhang high, and there are three Buddhas such as Medicine Master, Shakya and Mida next to the shrine. Painted gold ornaments are quite bold, but they also make people feel a little out of line with ordinary temple practices.

At the edge of the white stone platform, in addition to the four stone steps at the entrance, there are 500 arhats evenly distributed, all of them are cast in gold and bronze, all with different expressions and postures, but no matter whether they open their eyes and protrude their foreheads, or hang their eyes and guard inside, they are all lifelike, no different from living people. The other buildings are arranged in an orderly manner in all directions with the main hall on the axis as a whole, separated by forest roads, and have a solemn and sacred atmosphere.

A large incense burner was placed in front of the Manjushri Buddha Shrine in Baishi Square, and the burning sandalwood wood was sending a large amount of aroma, filling the entire space, making the two of them feel calm and infected with the atmosphere of birth.

Xu Ziling looked at the stone steps stretching straight to the foot of the mountain outside the mountain gate, and said in a low voice: "It should be eight hundred and eight levels, and it will be so coincidental." Kou Zhong stared intently at the bronze hall with the closed gate, studying countermeasures.

The sound of chanting is only ten zhang after the bronze hall, and the other places in the temple do not see half a figure, there is a kind of unfathomable, teaching people not to dare to act rashly.

The most bizarre thing is that in addition to the lights around the White Stone Square in front of the Bronze Hall and the Buddhist shrine, even the chanting hall is dark, making people realize that if they walk on the White Stone Square, they will become the most obvious target.

However, tonight, the bright moon is in the sky, shining on the glazed tile roof, and the big trees beside the passage inside and outside the temple cast shadows on the road, adding to the secret and unpredictable atmosphere of the Zen Temple.

Kou Zhong poked his head down and said in a low voice, "What's wrong?" Why do I feel hairy? ”

Xu Ziling on the other side snorted: "This is called a thief's weak heart, understand?" ”

Kou Zhong smiled: "I am indeed a thief, but I am not weak-hearted. Treasures like He's Bi that have been passed down through the ages do not belong to anyone at all, only the virtuous live. Of course! No one can determine who is virtuous, so now it is only a matter of who has more luck and whose fists are harder. ”

"Ah Hai said that the master of the Zen Monastery is the first person in Buddhism today."

Xu Ziling stared at the bronze door with a light in his eyes, and frowned: "This bronze hall does not have half a window, only four fist-sized ventilation holes are opened on the tile roof. ”

Kou Zhong moved over and put his arm on his shoulder, and said with a smile on his eyebrows: "Ah Hai said that the energy of Heshi Bi is very weird, the higher the skill, the easier it is for people to be restrained, if that old bald man is really there, he will definitely be more restricted than the two of us when he moves." ”

"That's right."

Xu Ziling also said: "No matter whether he is the first person in Buddhism, even Ning Daoqi is like a dog greedy for the strange energy of He's Bi, and he wants to get it but has no choice, so he has to return it to Cihang Jingzhai, our skills are much lower than them, and to be hurt is also their level that is the first to be attacked by He's Bi." ”

The two glanced at each other, and both saw the firmness in each other's eyes, and then they were about to quietly touch towards the copper hall to prepare to implement the theft plan, when they suddenly heard the sound of dangdang, which immediately made the two of them retract their heads again.
