16. The Temple of the Law (I)

Looking at the majestic building in front of him, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but feel a little stupid.

Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard Zhang Hanguang suddenly say that he was going to the Dharma Hall a few minutes ago, and then realized that Zhang Hanguang was going to solve the matter of the Five Elements Sword, otherwise even if Zhang Hanguang wanted to help Zhang Longqian, the Dharma Hall would definitely not give her this time. So everyone didn't have any opinions, and immediately nodded and followed Zhang Hanguang out of the living room, and walked around to a wide courtyard.

There were no flowers or plants in the courtyard, only a wide circle surrounded by a few stones more than a man high, and the enclosed ground was carved with tiny charms, and the stones were carved with similar patterns.

After stepping into the circle surrounded by stones, Zhang Hanguang pinched a strange seal with one hand, and then something fluctuated gently, and the patterns on the stone began to light up with a soft white light from top to bottom, and the stone that originally looked ordinary gradually became crystal clear, like crystal. The white light quickly spread to the ground beneath everyone's feet, and then suddenly dissipated.

Then, this majestic and outrageous building appeared in front of Zhang Longqian's eyes.

There is a huge black-bottomed plaque hanging on the ancient wooden lintel, with two golden characters of "Dharma Palace" written on it, which is an excellent thin gold body, a sense of majesty comes to the face, the mottled white wall looks very ancient and quiet, and you can faintly see that there are many buildings inside, as if it is hidden in the clouds and mist, and it is not real, but the vast atmosphere is unhindered to come out, and the simplicity and grandeur are not inferior to the Zhang family, and even more imposing than any ancient building that Zhang Longqian has ever seen. But it is also more solemn and shocking than any building.

Even though it is far less vast than the Forbidden City, its momentum is even greater.

Originally, the "temple" of the Dharma Temple was not just the name of an institution.

"Long Qian, do you feel uncomfortable?"

Standing in the middle of another group of similar stones, listening to Nangong Piao's concerned inquiry, Zhang Longqian shook his head, after all, it was not the first time she had experienced teleportation, she didn't feel any discomfort, but suddenly seeing such a dense building complex, the impact in her heart was really greater.

After a slow pause, Zhang Longqian noticed that there was a stone formation similar to the Zhang family's around them, and asked, "This stone formation...... And was that the teleportation array just now? ”

"Yes." Zuo Ling nodded slightly, "Long-distance teleportation can only be done by a fixed teleportation array, but the composition of this kind of thing is very complicated, except for the Dharma Hall and the Academy, it is only available to a few great families." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Hanguang had already stepped out of the teleportation array and walked towards the main entrance of the Dharma Hall, and several people hurriedly followed.

When I got closer, I found that the two dark red gates were not ordinary wooden gates, but a material similar to stone, which was carved with fine patterns, and from time to time there would be a slightly brighter red light than the color of the gate flashing along the patterns, which looked very mysterious. On both sides of the gate are two white stone lions more than one person high, and the pair of the Zhang family exudes a faint light, which is also delicate and lifelike, but it is far more hideous than the pair in front of the Zhang family, as if as long as you lean forward, you will be eaten alive.

As soon as he thought about it, the two stone lions really jumped up suddenly, which really startled Zhang Longqian. Jumping off the stone seat, they circled around a few people, put their hideous heads next to a few people and sniffed them twice, making Zhang Longqian a little nervous and afraid to make a move, and then the two stone lions lowered their heads towards Zhang Hanguang and made a buzzing sound.

"Please come in, Hanyang Zhenren."

With the sound of the stone lion, the dark red door opened automatically, but he couldn't see what was inside, only a colorful light curtain appeared behind the door.

Nodding slightly, Zhang Hanguang led the six people to the light curtain, Zhang Longqian couldn't help but look back, the two stone lions had returned to the base, motionless, like real stone statues, which made her feel amazed, and then followed Zhang Hanguang into the light curtain.

Obviously watching the light circulate around him, but he didn't feel anything, he felt that he just took a step, and the colorful light disappeared without a trace, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

The result is a courtyard that is almost invisible, with verdant lawns and seemingly random benches, rockeries dotted within, and many pavilions that seem to be hidden in the clouds. The gravel path divides the lawn into irregular shapes, and about ten meters above the ground, there is a translucent light curtain covering the entire courtyard and surrounding buildings, with a jewel-like blue, but slowly turning into grass green, and the original blazing sunlight passes through this light curtain and is as soft as in a warm winter. Surrounded by old houses and several three-storey buildings, the glazed tiles on the roof shine in the sun, only one floor of the houses are wide open, from time to time you can see people coming in and out, very busy, the few three-story buildings are closed, no one is inhabited, each door hangs a plaque, on which are written different words, but for some reason the whole building looks vague, just like those pavilions, as if there is a layer of clouds and mist surrounding.

There are people sitting on a small half-bench in the courtyard, some wearing robes, some wearing suits, and some wearing ordinary casual clothes, dressed strangely, and the ages are also uneven, but most of them sit quietly, and occasionally deliberately lower their voices when communicating with anyone, making this somewhat fantastic space more serious.

Many people recognized Zhang Hanguang, and they immediately respectfully saluted from afar, and Zhang Hanguang also took the trouble to nod in return, with an approachable smile on his face. Most people are just like Bai Lu who saw Zhang Hanguang for the first time, their eyes were full of excitement when they saw Zhang Hanguang, but they could only look at it with admiration and did not shout loudly.

After walking like this for a short time, Bai Lu whispered to Zhang Longqian: "People who don't have a task can't trespass, let's wait here for Hanyang Zhenren to come out!" ”

As she spoke, she grabbed Zhou Miao and Zhang Longqian's arms, and her eyes unconsciously walked towards the surrounding buildings, as if she was a little uneasy about this place, and her voice sounded a little cramped.

Zhang Longqian had never seen this kind of expression on Bai Lu's face, but when she was in Zhongkun, she had found it from other people from time to time.

Most of the people who enter the court are in this state.

This association made Zhang Longqian couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, raised his hand and rubbed Bai Lu's head, she wanted to agree, but heard Zhang Hanguang say: "Zuo boy and Long Qian's girl will go with the old man, and the rest of the people will wait outside, if there is something, the old man will let someone call you." ”

As soon as Zhang Hanguang opened his mouth, Bai Lu subconsciously let go of Zhang Longqian, but he still asked in a whisper that was not a little unwilling: "Longqian is also going?" ”

"She is a party closely related to the Five Elements Sword, so she naturally wants to go."

Hearing this, Bai Lu could only obediently retreat to a bench with Zhou Miao, and watched Zhang Hanguang lead the two of them to a building not far away.
