Chapter 85: The Secret of the Storm
More and more black-clothed people appeared next to the Holy Envoy "Ghost Shadow" of the Blood Demon Palace, and the front of their clothes was embroidered with a golden skull flower, and all the black-clothed people were tightly wrapped, which was very mysterious.
The ghost picked up the Zen staff on the ground and said with a dark smile: "The old bald donkey said that the treasure is in the Zen staff......
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, held the Zen stick and looked at it for a while, but he didn't find what he was looking for, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "Oops, I fell for the old bald donkey, and the thing must still be on him." ”
The ghost's raging anger continued to roll in the bottom of his eyes, and he struggled to raise the Zen staff in his hand and smashed it hard, instantly smashing the dilapidated Buddha statue in front of him into powder, and the black-clothed man behind him was so frightened that he trembled, and he lowered his head as if he was waiting for death to come, and no one dared to squeak.
"Why are you standing, don't chase it quickly, if the task is not completed, everyone will have to die......"
This sound echoed in the ancient temple like a twilight drum and morning bell, and when all the people in black heard this, their bodies couldn't help but tremble, and they rushed towards the direction where Li Ji and the old monk disappeared like mad dogs.
When Li Ji was in a hurry with the old monk on his back, he didn't choose the path and ran wildly all the way.
The night was getting thicker, the stars and the moon were lower, the silent mountains and forests were dark at the moment, and I didn't know how long I had been running, when suddenly my feet slipped, and both of them fell to the ground.
With the help of the faint moonlight, Li Ji found that he was in a completely unfamiliar jungle at the moment, the ground was sprinkled with withered yellow leaves, and a crisp sound of "clacking" would sound when he stepped on it slightly.
At this time, the mountain wind suddenly rose and whistled, and a lone cloud blew in, blocking the moonlight.
The endless blackness struck again, and the wind whistling in his ears made a strange sound, like the roar of a wild beast.
Li Ji cautiously stared at the mountain forest swaying in the wind in front of him.
"Little donor, the night is dark and the wind is high, and the mountain road is difficult to walk, let's find a hidden place to hide first!"
The old monk leaned against a big stone, his eyes closed, his breath was weak, but his tone was calm, he seemed calm, quite a generation of masters.
In the midst of the dangerous mountain forest, Li Ji showed much greater courage and calmness than ordinary people, his clear eyes looked into the depths of the dense forest, and a shadow fell on his vision in the distance.
He pointed to the shadow and asked, "What's that?"
The old monk opened his eyes slightly, frowned and said, "It seems to be a small cave!"
"It's better for us to hide in a small cave than to run through the darkness. ”
The old monk nodded and said, "The little donor is reasonable. ”
So Li Ji helped the old monk and staggered along a path to the depths of the dense forest, at the end of the path was a small cave, the entrance was very hidden, and it was wantonly clinging to wild grasses and vines.
The entrance to the cave is small and only one person can get into, and the two carefully hide in the secret cave, while Li Ji lies at the entrance of the cave and condescendingly observes everything in the mountains and forests.
The mountains and forests were too quiet, and the original whistling wind and unknown chirps seemed to have disappeared, and there seemed to be an undercurrent surging, and the atmosphere became tense and oppressive.
The moon was completely obscured by dark clouds, and the whole land was shrouded in darkness, permeated with a dead silence, and seemed so depressing.
Only in the empty air with the smell of blood, a few bird whimpering sounds diffused from time to time, which seemed to be the last struggle of life, and it seemed to be a cry for help before death.
Suddenly, a flash of fire came from the darkness and was reflected in the pupils of a bird, and then the fire grew bigger and closer, and little by little it tugged at people's hearts.
Li Ji said in a low voice: "Master, they are chasing after you!"
The old monk clasped his palms together and said, "Amitabha! It is the will of heaven to hit the catastrophe, and I know that there is such a catastrophe, and I can't avoid it after all." Life and death are fateful, everything is destined to ......"
"Master, as long as we keep quiet, I'm afraid they won't be able to find us!"
Although Li Ji said that his mouth was calm, his heart had already fluctuated, remembering that he was extremely dangerous in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Ancient Temple, and he didn't expect that the yin and yang man in white was actually one of the terrifying "ghosts" of the Blood Demon Palace.
If it weren't for the old monk who injured him, and took advantage of the unpreparedness of the man in black, he unexpectedly scattered a handful of charcoal ash to get out of danger, I am afraid that he would have been buried in the broken tiles at this time.
The old monk looked at Li Ji quietly, clasped his palms and saluted: "Little donor, you are really a bodhisattva, risking your life to save the old man, thank you here." ”
Li Ji hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Master doesn't need to be polite, if you hadn't detoxified the younger generation, I would have died of poison." Besides, you are a high-ranking monk, and you are seriously injured, but you are still not afraid of evil spirits, and you are bold and upright, which is really admirable. The evil demons are harmful to the rivers and lakes, and it is the duty of our generation of cultivators to uphold justice and eliminate demons and demons. ”
The old monk raised his eyebrows and said: "Amitabha, the donor is so chivalrous at a young age, it is really rare, and it is really a blessing for the rivers and lakes." But your kung fu is very ordinary, it seems that you have just entered the path of cultivating the truth, and you don't know where your teacher is?"
Li Ji smiled, hugged his fists and said, "I am a new disciple of the Shenfeng Academy of Shennong Mountain Villa, and I was ordered to go down the mountain...... Experience, because of the fog in the mountains, temporarily avoid the ancient temple, and meet the master to save him by chance, which is really a blessing for the younger generation. ”
The old monk nodded and said, "It turned out to be a world-famous disciple of the Taoist Spiritual Cultivation School, and I am a Zen sect Huiben." ”
When Li Ji heard this, he was immediately shocked, and often heard the senior brothers chatting about the world's sects, "There is Zen Buddhism in the south, Dugu in the north, Shennong in the east, and blood demons in the west." The four major sects especially respect Zen Buddhism, which is the ancestor of Bodhidharma in the west foot of Songshan Mountain, the top of the five milk peaks of the wall for nine years, Buddhism and exercises have been Mahayana, the creation of Shaolin Temple, known as the ancestor of Zen Buddhism.
"The beginning of Zen Buddhism is greatly invigorated, and the martial arts of Kung Fu Holy Land are outstanding", Shaolin Temple is the holy land of Zen and martial arts, famous for kung fu all over the world, so there is "the world's martial arts out of Shaolin, less ** Gong out of Dharma", and because it is the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism, it is famous for Zen Buddhism.
Bodhidharma Patriarch through the sky, a reed across the river, the peerless martial arts study thoroughly, the peak, the world's peerless "Yijin Sutra" and Shaolin 72 stunts, but also become the object of martial arts heroes desperately fighting.
Zen Buddhism has never been written and taught outside the teaching, pointing directly to the hearts of the people, seeing the nature of the Buddha, is to the increasing prosperity of Buddhism, and stand in the Central Plains.
When Li Ji heard this, he was in awe, stood up, and said, "It turned out to be Zen Master Huiben, rude and rude!
Zen Master Huiben said: "There is an old saying: the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty, and there will be the fruits of today, and everything is due to the wind and clouds." ”
Li Ji wondered: "What is the secret of Fengyun?"
Zen Master Huiben said slowly: "Fengyun Jue is an ancient holy book, the legend is divided into five volumes, written and engraved with dragon soul characters, containing the infinite mysteries of heaven and earth, and those who get its book can fly to the fairy world, dominate the world, and look at all things in the world." The old man was cultivating in the mountains, one day the sky descended a vision, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, the southern corner of the red light appeared, followed the traces to check, and occasionally got the fragments of the wind and clouds.
Unexpectedly, all factions in the world moved when they heard the wind, competing openly and secretly, intercepting along the way, and finally losing under my hands. Unexpectedly, the Blood Demon Palace was insidious and cunning, and I was ambushed here, and I was also seriously injured, and the Fengyun Secret was almost lost, but fortunately, I was rescued by the little benefactor. Haha, everything has a fate, fate is determined, fate is born, fate is born, fate is born by fate, karma and harmony will produce results. ”
Li Ji suddenly realized: "It turns out that the Blood Demon Palace is so aggressive, it is actually trying to seize the trick of the wind and clouds, it is really unreasonable!"
The old monk said: "The old man's meridians are all broken, the limit has arrived, and his life is short." However, the secret of the wind and clouds is related to the safety of the world, and the righteous path is prosperous, how can it fall into the hands of the evil demons. Now that I have a relationship with the little benefactor, I want to entrust this important task to you, please be sure to dispose of it properly, keep it secret, and no one can tell it. Please!"
After speaking, Master Huineng wanted to kneel, Li Ji was taken aback and hurriedly helped him up.
"Entrusted by the master, the matter is very high, and the younger generation must do their best to protect the fragments of Fengyun Jue and never fall into the hands of thieves!"
When Master Huiben heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "The old man still has something to ask for!"
"But it doesn't hurt to say it, as long as the younger generation can do it, I will never refuse!"
Master Huiben took a deep breath and said slowly: "When he was avoiding the Jianghu sects or the powerhouses from all walks of life to snatch the trick of the wind and clouds, Lao Qu once escaped into the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty and accidentally learned that he wanted to attack the Qi State with his army. Buddhists, compassion, will inevitably be in the flames of war, and the lives will be ruined, please forward this letter to General Xiao Yan of Qi who is stationed here. ”
"This is a matter related to the safety of the people at dawn, please rest assured that the younger generation will bring this letter. ”
"The dispute between Qi and Wei has been a long time, and the society is in danger of exhaustion, and the living beings are in urgent need of being overhanged. If you can do it, you can solve this disaster, build an immortal honor, have peace in the party, have a military revolution, and be the spirit of the society, the blessing of the world, this will be a matter of immeasurable merit!"
As he spoke, the old monk bowed to Li Ji, took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Li Ji.
Just as Li Ji was hiding the letter, Master Huiben suddenly pressed his palms behind his back, only to feel a strange stream of heat pouring into his body along the vest and began to swim along the meridians.
"Master, what are you?"
"Little donor, don't worry, the old man is now passing on the fragment of the trick to you......"
Zen Master Huiben closed his eyes slightly, and gradually adjusted his breathing, so that his vitality was in harmony with heaven and earth.
After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, his palms upward, and he hugged the semicircle to the left and right, and suddenly felt that the vitality within a radius of a hundred miles was moving, slowly gathering.
A golden light shot out from his fingertips, like a golden snake coming out of a hole, and a string of strange dragon soul characters escaped into Li Ji's body.
Li Ji sensed that the rich vitality around him was surging towards the cave like a huge wave, and an invisible coercion came, and he felt a feeling of tightness in his chest, sweating profusely, and his face was red, as if he was drunk.
Zen Master Huiben's fingertips continued to shoot out the Dao Dragon Soul character, and went straight into Li Ji's soul, constantly warming it.
After a while, but seeing that the golden light in the soul was flourishing, all of a sudden, ten thousand golden rays shot out, and they disappeared in a flash.
Zen Master Huiben's body shook, his face showed a painful color, his tightly closed lips overflowed with a large amount of blood, and he sat down on the ground abruptly, the golden light on his body faded, revealing a thin face full of wrinkles, looking even older.
At this time, there was a commotion not far away, startling countless birds in the forest.
