Chapter 151: The Old Man of the Corpse Mountain
"Second brother, what else is interesting about this Yanming Tower?" Chu Yi asked lightly stroking Qingshi.
Wen Tingkai pondered for a moment and said, "I have heard someone say that this Yanming Pagoda has the saying of 'three splits and three combinations'. It is rumored that the Kyoto earthquake, the tower from the top to the foot, the crack in the foot, clear as a window, pedestrians often see it. After that, there was an earthquake, and the tower was the same overnight, if there was a god who was in harmony, it was very magical. ”
Chu Yi was quite surprised: "There are such magical things in this tower. ”
Wen Tingkai said with a smile: "Big brother, these are just rumors, where do you know if it's true or not." However, it is just a false rumor, and it cannot be believed. ”
"About this wild goose tower, widely circulated is a poem written by a person named Zhu Ziqi. Wen Tingkai said as he walked.
"The frost comes at the dawn of the first dawn, the moon falls and the great wilderness is delayed; When I read it before, I didn't think about this poem. Today, I read it again to know what the vastness means. ”
Xu Bo couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "Who is this Zhu Ziqi?"
Wen Tingkai shook his head and said, "This person's life is unknown, and no one knows about it so far. ”
Just as the two of them were talking, the seventh-level floating tower in Chu Yi's body changed dramatically, and the golden light in the tower was shining, and there were faint bursts of Sanskrit sounds.
In the dantian, Chu Yi's "Yin God" slowly walked into the first floor of the seventh-level Futu Tower.
On the wall of the tower, there are many golden words, and at first it is written: The Great Brahma Sutra is the swan song of the Xi Dynasty, and the revival of the catastrophe. The light is human and the sky, including the true and the vulgar, the sincerity into the mystery of the gods, and the spirit of the country...
Therefore, it is empty to talk about enlightenment, the reason of the dead words is smooth, the reading of the vulgar is not moving, the stupid people are not born, Qi Gu is resounding in the hundreds, and the mirror posture is in the ten thousand images. Considering Tu Qianluo's words and skills are poor, making the husband shallow and speculative, restrained and unshackled, and there is a place in the south, and the north of the same arch is to know the return. Righteousness is both heavenly and long, the words are still overflowing, and it is the foundation of all points, and it is unprecedented, and it is written into seven volumes and forty-nine products...
When he finished reading all the words on the first layer, Chu Yi realized that the words on the wall of this tower were actually the contents of the first volume of the scriptures. This scripture may be called the Great Brahma Prajna Heart Sutra, which has a total of seven volumes and forty-nine articles, and one volume of seven articles.
After a stick of incense, after reading the content of the first volume, the "Yin God" of Chu River climbed the stairs and came to the second layer.
There were still dissatisfaction with the golden words on the second layer of the tower wall, and Chu Yi wrote them down one by one, but the speed of writing them down was much slower than that of the first layer. After about two incense sticks, Chu Yi's "Yin God" came to the third layer.
The walls of this third layer of the tower are still covered with golden scriptures. Quantitatively, the third book contains more than the first two books combined.
Chu Yi's "Yin God" sat cross-legged in the center, staring at the scriptures with both eyes, and using extremely demonic memory to shorthand, it is not an exaggeration to describe it with one glance and ten lines.
Chu Yi was first surprised by the abnormality in his body, and when he used his divine sense to see that his Yin God had entered the seventh-level Futu Pagoda, he no longer looked inside.
As for what kind of cultivation method the "Great Brahma Prajna Heart Sutra" appeared in the seventh-level Futu Tower, he could only put it in his stomach and wait until the next time he saw Xiaoyaozi to ask him about the specific reason.
After three incense sticks, Chu Yi's "Yin God" wrote down all the scriptures in the third volume. Just as he got up and was about to continue walking to the fourth floor, the golden light and Sanskrit sound suddenly disappeared, and the scriptures on the tower wall disappeared in an instant.
The seventh-level floating tower returned to calm, emitting a soft white light from within.
Under the white light, Chu Yi's "Yin God" simply sat down cross-legged here, and was about to comprehend this scripture on the spot, when he suddenly heard an extremely faint voice, as if coming from the bottom of the tower.
The voice was hoarse, like a baby crying, like a jackal crowing, and two words were faintly heard: I am hungry.
Chu Yi was stunned suddenly, and remembered the terrifying scene of the one-armed Dao Gu unsealing the scar on her left arm, and the ghost creature called gluttony also shouted the words 'so hungry'.
Chu Yi didn't dare to stay here for long, and said with a solemn expression: "Let's get out of here quickly." ”
Wen Tingkai and Xu Bo didn't know why he said this, but when they saw his solemn expression, they knew that the situation was serious, so they quickened their pace and walked towards the south gate.
Suddenly, there was a violent vibration in the Yanming Tower and its surroundings, the tower was from the top to the foot, the middle was cracked, and the billowing black gas came out from the bottom of the tower.
Chu Yi secretly said that it was not good, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he stretched out his hand and threw Wen Tingkai and Xu Bo out of the tower.
Xu Zhong was about to turn around and rush into the tower, but he heard Chu Yi shouting, "Take them out of here first." ”
As soon as the words fell, the black gas penetrated into the bottom of the tower again from top to bottom, and the ground trembled immediately.
The crack in the middle of the tower disappeared.
Wen Tingkai and Xu Bo were lying unconscious on the ground, Xu Zhong glanced at Yanming Tower, turned around and picked up the two of them, and quickly went down the mountain.
Not long after Xu Zhong left, two sword lights fell from the sky one after the other, appearing in the sky above the Yanming Tower.
The leader was the masked woman who appeared in Tiger Hill before, and the person behind her was Li Xiang.
"Uncle Shi, the seal of this tower has been loosened just now, why is there no sign now?" asked Li Xiang.
The woman looked at it for a moment, but found nothing unusual, and her heart was full of doubts.
In a moment, the woman confirmed that the seal was intact and showed no signs of loosening, and then took Li Xiang and left the Yanming Tower.
It was only on the same day that someone in Kyoto said that there was a tremor at the Yanming Tower. But it was soon proven to be a pure rumor, and the good deeds were also sent to prison by Kyoto Prefecture.
Xu Zhong took the two of them back to Zhilan Qingyuan and immediately informed Jing Wusheng of the matter.
After Jing Wuming heard this, he asked Xu Zhong to take care of Wen Tingkai and Xu Bo, and repeatedly warned him that he should not mention today's events to anyone, not even Dai Yu.
If the two of them woke up and asked where Gongzi was now, they would say that they had returned to Chu Mansion.
After the explanation, Jing Wuming hurriedly walked out of Zhilan Qingyuan and went straight to Yanming Tower.
At this time, there was a patrol of the forbidden army around the Yanming Tower.
Come to think of it, the changes that happened here still alarmed the Tianji Battalion. Otherwise, there would never be a forbidden army here.
It can also be guessed from the side that the Tianji Battalion did not make any important discoveries, otherwise it would not be the only forbidden army here.
Since the Tianji Battalion didn't find it, he wouldn't find any important clues from it. Instead of being overwhelmed, it is better to wait and see what happens and wait for the news of the child.
When Chu Yi woke up, he found himself in a secret room.
This secret room is very large, and the lights are always bright, and the sight is not bad. At a glance, you can't see the edge.
Chu Yi took out the victory over the evil and was on guard.
There was a dead silence in the secret room, and Chu Yi tried to calm himself, but he could still hear the sound of his own breathing, as well as the sound of his heartbeat.
"I'm so hungry!"
Ahead, suddenly the hoarse voice was heard.
Chu Yi's sweat trembled, his back was dripping with cold sweat, and his feet were as heavy as lead, so he couldn't get up.
Chu Yi took a few deep breaths, if he wanted to be able to leave this ghost place alive, he had to calm himself.
After dozens of breaths, Chu Yi gradually calmed down from his panic. Since he was able to come here, most of them were closely related to the seventh-level Futu Pagoda in his body. For others, it may be an unwarranted disaster, but for yourself, it may be a big opportunity.
With this level of understanding, Chu Yi's mentality also became peaceful.
Chu Yi walked forward step by step, and the further he went, the closer the voice became, and faintly he could still hear a rough panting.
Under the soles of his feet were white bones scattered on the ground.
The further you go, the more white bones there are, and there is no way to avoid them, so you can only step on the white bones and continue to move forward.
The white bones piled up on the bluestone slab became thicker and thicker, and not far away, there was a small hill where the white bones and corpses were piled up, rolling and undulating, as if it had become a mountain of white bones.
Chu Yi gasped, he didn't expect so many people to die in this secret room, and there must be hundreds or thousands of people in this rough calculation.
Could it be that all these people were eaten by the gluttony? A terrible thought sounded in his mind.
"When the Buddha looks at people, everyone around him is a Buddha, and when he looks at people with a ghost heart, there are hideous ghosts everywhere. ”
In the depths of the White Bone Mountain, a hoarse voice suddenly came to mind.
This secret room is already full of bones, and it seems that it is not in the world, but in the region. Although the voice that suddenly sounded was weak, Chu Yi could hear it extremely clearly.
Listening carefully, this voice reveals the meaning of peace and tranquility, as if a monk who has attained the Tao is talking to others about profound Zen.
Chu Yi didn't dare to be careless, and had already taken precautions.
"Who are you?"
As soon as the words fell, the mountain of white bones collapsed, and I saw a thin and shriveled old man sitting cross-legged on top of the dry bones.
Chu Yi looked at it carefully, and his eyes showed a shocked look.
This man is really thin, so thin that people often say that they are 'skinny'.
From the bottom of the chest and abdomen to the limbs, it is as thin as a firewood branch, and only a thin layer of skin remains. Under the skin, above the bones, there is no fat, and there are no tendons and veins.
Chu Yi really couldn't figure it out, there were only dry bones here, without any food and water sources, how did this strange man survive?
It's just that when he saw the sunken eye sockets on his face, like two black holes, emitting a great magical force that wanted to pull his divine consciousness out of his body.
The heart-rending pain, Chu Yi couldn't help but let out a scream of "ah".
At this moment, the seventh-level Futu Pagoda in his body shot out a golden light, wrapping Chu Yi's primordial spirit, and his magic power was instantly cut off.
Chu Yi sat on the ground with his buttocks, his face was pale, and he was panting roughly, but his eyes kept staring at the old man in the corpse mountain.
