Chapter 357: Breaking the Demon and Breaking the Heart (I)
In fact, going up the hill to fetch firewood is just a cover. On the first day of going up the mountain to collect firewood, Mu Wan took advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet dawning, climbed over the hill, and touched the forbidden area.
The guards in the restricted area were much tighter than she had imagined. The garrison was highly disciplined, with three steps and one post, and five steps and one sentry. It's all on the bright side. Secretly, there are more dark whistles than open whistles. In the woods, on the hillsides, in the rocks...... Traps and traps are everywhere.
With her skills, it turned out to be a difficult journey. It was about to dawn, and she only touched the forbidden area for a few miles!
It's a pity that the spiritual power is sealed! Mu Wan drank hatred and returned.
Back in the firewood room, Mu Wan drew the situation along the way. Gu Bai squatted on the side and watched, and took the initiative to say, "Sister Mu, tomorrow, I will go with you." It's too dangerous in the forbidden area, so we can go together and take care of each other. ”
So, the next day, before dawn, Mu Wan took Gu Bai up the mountain to collect firewood.
Worried that the shopkeeper and his wife would be suspicious, Mu Wan still only stayed in the forbidden area for an hour. When it was about to dawn, they withdrew in time.
Unexpectedly, yesterday she deliberately set up a small mechanism next to a hidden mechanism, and it was actually destroyed! Meaning, the defenders are not as dedicated as they seem. They hadn't been to these places for a whole day yesterday!
Gu Bai said again: "Sister Mu, I can see through those traps and traps. Tomorrow, how about we go our separate ways? "The forbidden area is thirty miles in radius. It's really unreliable to just find a way in and out. At critical moments, multiple paths may be multiple lives.
Mu Wan thought for a while and said, "Now our spiritual power is sealed, facing an army of 100,000. There is no hurry. My plan was to find out what was going on in the restricted area at the bottom of the mountain, then to explore the mountain, and finally to the tower at the top of the mountain. It's important to find out, but it's even more important to keep us both safe. "If you keep the green mountains here, you won't be afraid of no firewood.
Gu Bai said, "But, in that case, how long are we going to stay here?" Sister Mu, you don't have to worry about me. I was born and raised in the Misty Forest. These traps and traps. Compared to the Misty Forest. It's really not enough to worry about. Like you, I will have to write down not only the route, but also the traps and traps around me, as well as the layout of my forces. After coming back. I also draw pictures. ”
Now that's it. It's a bit slower, indeed. Not to mention. Gu Bai's performance in the penalty area today was truly amazing. Yes, Mu Wan agreed, but. Set the "three prohibitions" rule: "Do not be greedy for merit, the day will be dawn, you must return; You can't clash with the defenders and startle the snakes; Large-scale sabotage of traps and traps is not allowed. ”
In short, it is necessary to keep in mind at all times the purpose of their actions at this stage: they are only going to reconnoiter the situation. With the strength of two people, challenging an army of 100,000 seems to be brave, but in fact it is an unwise move, and it will do no harm to them to follow up and sneak into the tower on the top of the mountain.
Gu Bai seriously promised to abide by the "three prohibitions".
So, from the third day, the two of them went their separate ways. When they came back each day, they drew down what they had discovered.
The two of them worked together, and the reconnaissance speed was greatly improved. Nearly two months later, they finally found out what was going on at the foot of the mountain and learned that the so-called 100,000-strong army was bluffing. In the forbidden area at the foot of the mountain, there were up to 30,000 defenders. And, from the outside in, the defense gradually loosened. The defenders are confident in traps and traps. The patrol only patrolled back and forth between the open and dark posts. As long as there are traps and traps in hidden places, they will not set foot in them at all.
What about the mountains? Now, Mu Wan and Gu Bai are already in and out of the forbidden area, and there is no need to stay in Qixingpo Town. So, she quit her job and took Gu Bai to live in the forbidden area at the foot of the mountain.
Soon, they discovered that the mountain was different from the foothills.
There are also defenders on the mountain, but they are not Dong'an's army, but monk soldiers! They were all young men and did not see women.
Halfway up the hill there is a large and imposing temple. The monks and soldiers in the temple form a team of nine people and patrol the mountain every day. No one is allowed to enter the mountain without a Buddha order. Trespassers, no mercy! Even the defenders at the foot of the hill were no exception.
What made Mu Wan and Gu Bai headache was: Obviously it was a peerless spirit realm, but these monks and soldiers were obviously cultivated!
How did they do it? Mu Wan and Gu Bai wanted to break their heads, but they also had no solution.
Fortunately, most of these monks and soldiers patrolling the mountains are not very high, and they are only equivalent to the appearance of the Qi refining period. Although Mu Wan's spiritual power was sealed, he could sense the outside world with his breath, while Gu Bai simply wore a fox skin. So, little by little, the two touched the mountain.
After more than a month, Mu Wan and they finally touched the outside of the temple.
Seeing that these monks and soldiers also cultivated in the Absolute Spirit Realm, Mu Wan couldn't help but be moved, and temporarily changed her plan: go to the temple to see how they practice!
If they can learn the cultivation method of their Absolute Spirit Realm, they can recover their spiritual power. Follow-up actions, they will be much easier.
This time, Gu Bai took the lead, sneaked into the temple, and found out the bottom first. Mu Wan hid in the dense forest outside the temple and was responsible for answering.
Their caution turned out to be completely necessary.
More than an hour later, Gu Bai came back in a gray head.
"Sister Mu, the monks inside are so powerful. I almost showed my tracks. After retreating to the foot of the mountain, Gu Bai remembered the situation in the temple and had palpitations, "There is a high Buddha statue in the main hall, as if it is alive." Everywhere I went, I felt like he was staring at me. Therefore, I did not dare to go in, so I only went to a side hall on the right without a Buddha statue. ”
"So powerful?" Mu Wan asked in surprise, "What does the Buddha statue look like?" Can you draw it? ”
Gu Bai shook his head: "I can't see his true face clearly, I only know that he is very tall and covered in gold." Oh, he's a man. Also, the temple was full of monks, and there were no nuns in sight. ”
Gu Bai is a spirit fox that can be transformed into a human form, but he can't see the true face of the Buddha statue clearly, it is obvious that this Buddha statue must have magical powers!
Mu Wan shook off a cold sweat: "It's so dangerous!" If I had gone in with you just now, I probably wouldn't have been able to get out. "In a place full of bald men, she is really conspicuous.
However, Gu Bai's trip was still very rewarding. The monks in the temple were doing the morning class, and he read it from beginning to night.
"They were chanting in unison. I didn't understand it at all, but it looked like they were practicing, so I looked for a chance to steal a copy. It's too conspicuous during the day, and it's hard to bring it out, so you can only hide it first. At night, I'll steal it out again. ”
There seems to be no other way...... Hehe, cheap engaged. Mu Wan's festival was shattered again.
In the middle of the night, the two cautiously touched the mountain again. At night, the monks patrolling the mountain did not decrease but increased, because Mu Wan could not even get close to the temple, so he could only hide in a farther place to respond.
Fortunately, Gu Bai is very clever. More than half an hour later, he returned a scroll of scriptures.
It was a silk book. Mu Wan put it away closely, and hurried down the mountain with Gu Bai.
Returning to the forbidden area at the foot of the mountain, looking for a stable place, Mu Wan spread out the scriptures and looked at them with Gu Bai.
Turning to the third page, Gu Bai was dumbfounded: "Sister Mu, the words written inside are completely different from those outside." I can't read any of them! ”
It's very tricky. With the cover, the silk book is no more than five pages. However, the words in it are completely different from the words in the mundane. Well, every word on the cover and the first two pages is annotated in gold text next to it, but from the third page onwards, there are no further annotations.
Gu Bai didn't know Jin Wen, so he couldn't understand either the original text or the annotations. And in the temple, he was not allowed to take a closer look. The most important thing is that along the way, he found that whether it was Kangliang, Tuxia, or Dong'an, they all used ordinary words, so he didn't think much about it. When he got the scriptures, he immediately found a proper place to hide them, and did not look at them.
Even though Mu Wan knows four kinds of scripts: ordinary script, golden script, demon script, and demon script. I don't recognize this weird writing either.
Luckily, she recognized the annotation. He flipped through it and said, "The owner of this book has only finished the first two pages, so there are only annotations on the first two pages." It's in gold, I recognize. ”
Gu Bai said: "Then I'll steal another book with annotations on every page." ”
Mu Wan stopped him: "Don't worry. Let's read these two pages first. ”
"yes, let's see if there's any." Gu Bai tilted his head to look at the scriptures and asked, "Sister Mu, what is the name of the scriptures?" ”
"The True Scripture of Breaking the Demon and the Heart." The two of them sat on the high branch of a towering tree, and read word by word in the moonlight.
The text is esoteric and difficult to understand. The annotated golden text is recognized by Mu Wan. However, when connected, she was like falling into the clouds, and she couldn't read it at all!
Gubai was very literate. Mu Wan only read it once, and he recognized all the annotated golden texts.
"What, bullshit!" He scratched the trunk of the tree in a hurry.
"Unlike the Buddhist scriptures I've seen before, the writing is completely out of order." Mu Wan twisted her eyebrows, and her brain turned rapidly: it is not only an introductory exercise for ordinary monks to read, but also the monks can read it, so it will definitely not be too difficult.
"Zi-", she took a deep breath and said, "It must be that we haven't found a way to study. Abai, how do you see them studying this scripture? ”
Gu Bai replied, "They didn't use any other magic weapons. One by one, they closed their eyes and read in unison, just like singing. There was a taller one next to him, knocking on the wooden fish from time to time. Oh, and with each knock, they pause slightly. ”
"Do you remember how the wooden fish was knocked?" A bright light crossed her heart, and Mu Wan asked with bright eyes.
She thought of a way to read and interpret the scriptures, but she had to rely on Gu Bai's help.
Gu Bai closed his eyes and carefully recalled what he saw in the side hall. After a while, he opened his eyes and said affirmatively, "If Sister Mu reads at their speed, I remember." ”
"Great!" Mu Wanxi said, "Let's try it." Tell me about their speed first. ”
Gu Bai told him truthfully.
Mu Wan also read Buddhist scriptures in his previous life. So, it quickly found the right speed.
Then, Gu Bai closed his eyes again and waved his right front paw one by one. Every time he waved, Mu Wan stopped slightly.
Soon, the first page was read.
Mu Wan exhaled a breath of turbid air and said with a smile: "I understand!" ”
