The footsteps of the three monks were heavy, and the occasional sound of conversation between the monks made the surroundings quieter. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu Ziling lowered his voice and said in Zhou Ning's ear: "Big brother, pay attention to the sound of their breathing, these three monks have a very deep foundation in internal skills every time they breathe, every time they breathe, we have to be careful." ”

Zhou Ning listened carefully, and couldn't help but change his expression, sure enough, as Xu Ziling said, the strength of these three ordinary patrol monks was already close to the innate realm, you know, Yingbu when he was in Yangzhou City was only in the middle of the innate realm.

When the three monks walked away and disappeared around the corner, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the bell tower, and made sure that there was no one left, and then they crept up along the wall, and landed lightly on the tile roof made of colorful glaze, making a "pop" sound.

At this moment, the entire Pure Mind Monastery suddenly fell silent, there was no sound at all, and the three of them looked at each other, not knowing what was happening. From the moment you enter the temple, everything in the temple can't help but feel an unfathomable chill.

"Dingding......

After only a moment, the sound of three crisp Buddha chimes came from not far away, and then, the sound of chanting from Sanskrit came melodiously from a distance and spread throughout the temple.

Zhou Ning breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice: "They have started to do evening classes, take advantage of this opportunity, let's go to the bell tower first!" ”

The three of them climbed up like birds, climbed the bell tower where the huge bell weighing 1,000 catties was placed, and looked down.

The bell tower on which they stood was about thirty-five or six meters high from the ground, between the Manjushri Hall in front and the Mahavira Hall in the back.

This Daxiong Treasure Hall is much higher than the bell tower where the three people are, it is magnificent, in front of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, there is a vast 100 zhang, made of white stone, surrounded by the platform square of the white stone carved railing, a big incense burner is placed in front of the Buddha shrine in the white stone square, it is full of sandalwood at the moment, emits curling white smoke, there is an indescribable dust atmosphere.

In the middle of the white stone square, enshrine a bronze statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva, purple gold, five hair crowns, the right hand holds the vajra sword, riding on the back of the golden lion, up to two zhang Xu, there are three Buddhas such as medicine master, Shakya and Mida next to the shrine. Colored gold ornaments, quite bold.

Zhou Ning said in a low voice: "Manjushri Bodhisattva and Puxian Bodhisattva are both Shakyamuni Buddha's left and right attendants, known as the 'Three Sages of Huayan', it seems that the Pure Nian Monastery should be the dojo of the Huayan Sect." ”

In front of the Manjushri shrine in the White Rock Square, a large incense burner is placed, and the burning sandalwood wood is sending a large amount of fragrance, filling the entire space, so that the minds of the three people can not help but calm down, infected with the atmosphere of birth.

The main buildings in the Jingnian Monastery are arranged in turn on the central axis facing the temple gate, between the main hall and the main hall, each opens up a road, and the four corners of the fine house are staggered with ten streets in vertical and horizontal directions, in an orderly manner, and the scale is complete and uniform.

Kou Zhong hadn't spoken since Fang Cai, with a contemplative look on his face, and suddenly said, "Big brother, Ling Shao, do you think the layout in the Zen courtyard is a little familiar?" ”

Zhou Ning stared intently at the scene in the Zen courtyard, shook his head, and asked, "Xiao Zhong, what did you find?" ”

Kou Zhong took out the map of Luoyang City given by Wang Shichong from his arms, and compared them one by one: "A central axis facing the temple gate is the north-south imperial road, there is a stone bridge at the location of the TJ bridge, and several alleys here have their own corresponding, and our current location should be the big bell tower at the south end of Luoyang City." ”

Zhou Ning's eyes swept over the map, exhaled, and nodded, it was true. Luoyang City has a large bell tower at the southwest end and the east end, and their location should be on the bell tower in the southwest.

This detail is not mentioned in the original book of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", so could it be that the location of He's Bi is near the imperial city of Luoyang City? Compare the locations of the Imperial City...... It should be at the northern point of the imperial road, that is, the area that is blocked by the tall Daxiong Treasure Hall.

Zhou Ning and Kou Zhong looked at the situation in the distance, while Xu Ziling looked at the stairs of the Daxiong Treasure Hall and said in a low voice: "The stairs of this Daxiong Treasure Hall have a total of thirty-nine floors, which happens to be the same as the number of stairs in the Taihe Hall in the palace, could it be a coincidence?" ”

Time passed like this, and people couldn't be sure, maybe the night was already deep, or maybe it was still a long time before it was late at night.

At this time, the sound of the Sanskrit chanting in the temple became louder and louder, and there was no interruption from beginning to end, as if thousands of monks had been chanting.

The sound of chanting came from the main hall, which was only ten zhang away from the three of them, and there was not half a figure in the rest of the temple

The strangest thing is that, except for the lights around the White Stone Square in front of the Bronze Hall and the Buddhist shrine, even the hall where the sutras are chanted is dark and dreary, and there are no lights.

Kou Zhong said in a low voice: "I can't see the situation behind the Daxiong Treasure Hall here, should we go down and try it?" ”

Xu Ziling shook his head and said, "It's not time yet, big brother, Zhong Shao, have you paid attention to their way of chanting scriptures?" Moreover, these monks are divided into two groups, one group finishes reciting, and the other group continues to recite without interruption, so it can be like flowing water continuously, which is not only a good sound, but also an excellent method of practice. If I'm not mistaken, the monks here, everyone's internal strength should not be lower than the three people who just patrolled the road. ”

Kou Zhong and Zhou Ning looked at each other, and Kou Zhong changed his color and said: "Look at the number of people chanting the scriptures over there, there should be almost two or three hundred monks with profound internal skills here, plus the four great monks who protect the temple, and one is said to be practicing closed-mouth meditation, and his skills are unfathomable, my God!" No wonder Xiang Yu is as strong as Xiang Yu, and he does not dare to act rashly in the temple. ”

Zhou Ning said casually: "In addition, don't forget to count the unfathomable and profound master concubine Xuan, as well as the sheep tongue cold whose kung fu is not under you and me, and the monk King Faming and Sanren Ning Daoqi, whose skills are comparable to Zhu Faqing." ”

Xu Ziling smiled bitterly: "So we can't act rashly, if we accidentally alarm them, the three of us may have to stay here as monks for a long time, I don't have any problems, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it." “

Kou Zhong groaned: "If it weren't for the fact that Ning Daoqi and the monk King Fa Ming were not here, I wouldn't dare to come here if I was killed, what should we do now?" Did you just go home empty-handed? ”

Zhou Ning shook his head and said, "Retreating from the battle, is it the eldest husband's doing?" Don't forget what our goal is, and the family is related to the fate of the world, as a good man, you must set a goal for yourself, and then never regret moving towards this goal, regardless of success or failure. Ha, now that we've joined the game, why are we willing to be ordinary? At least I am like this, and only by struggling in the earth-shattering waves of this era, fearing that the next moment will be doomed, can I feel my own worth and existence. ”

Kou Zhong took a deep breath and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, I am also like this, go to his grandmother's empty space and monk King Fa Ming, but--to be honest, my heart is still a little hairy, there is nothing common sense in this ghost place." ”

Xu Ziling said: "It's normal to be unreasonable, since the concubine Xuan is willing to entrust them with the He's Bi, which is related to the fate of the world, she naturally believes that they have the power to protect the treasure, so she doesn't even dare to enter the temple to steal the treasure, let alone us?" ”

Zhou Ning showed a contemplative look on his face, and suddenly pointed to the bell tower in the northeast of the Luoyang map, and said: "If Xiao Zhong's statement is correct, in the east of the temple, there should be a bell tower with a better view on the northeast side of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, but it is blocked by the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and it is not clear to see, if we sneak over there, we should be able to see the situation in the north of the Daxiong Treasure Hall clearly, and whether there is a suitable place to hide the treasure." ”

Kou Zhong took a breath and said, "You can try!" ”

The three of them quietly jumped down the bell tower and jumped along the ridge of the main hall on the axis towards the side hall to the east. Tonight, after the rain, it is sunny, the bright moon is in the sky, and the glazed tile roof is full of colorful ripples, and it is not clear for a while that someone is speeding along the tile roof.

"Ding! Bite! Bite! ”

In the distance, there were three crisp chimes again, and the chanting suddenly stopped. As far as Zhou Ning and the three of them could see, two stupas appeared, and in the middle of the stupa was a tall bell tower, facing the square on the other side of the bronze hall.

In the square enshrined a bronze statue of the Bodhisattva, riding a white elephant, corresponding to the statue of Manjushri Buddha over there, there is also a huge incense burner and Buddha shrine placed on the square.

At this time, the whole Zen courtyard is silent, and occasionally one or two cicadas chirp can be heard in the quiet Zen courtyard. Zhou Ning and Kou Xu glanced at each other, quickly climbed to the top of the bell tower, and then peeked towards the north side of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

Xu Ziling's eyes flashed, and he pointed to a building behind him that was shining in the light and was far smaller than the other palaces, and said: "According to the location on the map, this small hall should be where the imperial city is located, could it be that the Heshi Bi is hidden there?" ”

Zhou Ning lifted his spirits and said: "There will never be a mistake, it is a pure copper hall that can last forever!" If there really exists He's Bi in the temple, it will inevitably be placed in this copper hall, and only copper can separate He's bizarre power from other monks! ”

Xuan said in a low voice: "You wait for me here, I'll go down and see the situation." ”

Silently reciting Dapeng Fu, his body fell like lightning, dived to the side of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, leaned down, and then jumped back as if he had entered a no-man's land.

"Alright." Zhou Ning clapped his palms.

Kou Zhong nodded, and didn't ask him what he was doing, Xu Ziling suddenly whispered, "They came out!" ”

The three of them were silent at the same time, and they saw one after another monks in gray robes, big and small, walking out of the back of the main hall with their palms together.

Kou Zhong laughed in a low voice: "After reciting the scriptures for so long, now I must go to bed after going to the convenience of the group." Ha! If more than 200 monks go to squeeze the toilet, some people must wait until they can't help but pee in their pants, ha! “

Then the three of them changed color at the same time, and after seeing that the more than two hundred monks came out, they did not disperse, but walked towards the Tongdian Square where the three of them were hiding under the leadership of a blue-robed old monk with a somewhat stiff figure and a sickly face.

Kou Zhong muttered, "My mother, shouldn't the toilet be in this direction?" “

Xu Ziling saw that more than ten people in the lead of the team had entered the square in front of him, and the old monk in front was less than ten zhang away from the bell tower, so he couldn't help but shrink his body, leaving only his eyes a little higher than the outer column of the bell tower, and his scalp was numb and said: "Maybe it's over here!" “
