It was the fifth day that Qu Xigangzhu entered Jiwo.

He has always been extremely low-key, and he has indeed confirmed his promise: the first action is to pay the most respectful courtesy to Bukong in front of more than 300 onlookers. After that, he temporarily lived in the palace of the law, refusing to meet with any seekers, but under Bao Shan's personal arrangement, he visited some places that he could "miss".

Among the targets of the visit, there was a place where the relics of Naruo and others were stored, and they were the first to go. Although Yun Chongbo didn't feel anything when he heard the news, it is said that it made Bao Lin very excited.

It is said that the two have had a long night meeting more than once, but it is Bangor, although it really took a lot of effort, but it did not make people appreciate it at all, and several requests to see were refused.

"Well, this guy really can't think about it, it's obvious that he's broken down, so he should hurry back and think about how to remedy it... What's the point of still holding on? ”

"Yes, yes, to be a single, the most important thing is to be able to afford to put it down, and if you see that the signs are wrong, you have to lose money and leave immediately, if this guy insists like this, he will only lose more and more... Alas, it's a pity, if you can do Dong and this guy to gamble once..."

Talking idly, but Yun Chongbo's heart was frightened, his eyes widened, he seriously warned the two of them that they would be leaving soon, and they were absolutely not allowed to think about any tricks like casinos.

"Even if you lie to the bad guys, remember?"

Seeing that the two of them nodded reluctantly, Yun Chongbo was really a little uneasy, but it seemed useless to say more, and in the end, he could only sigh, put his hands behind his back, and turned around the room sullenly.

"Well, how are you doing?"

Hearing Yun Chongbo's inquiry, Yang Jizhi reacted very quickly, and immediately pounced, covering the tattered tapestry that he had spread out on the table.

"Hey, I'm telling you, someone else 'asked' me to study it, you... Don't mess around! ”

"I know, I know, you've said it more than a hundred times!"

Originally, he was a well-known layman in Buddhism, and when he successfully completed the scam of the "pseudo-god of war", Yang Jizhi gained the respect and trust of many monks, relying on this, more doors opened in front of him, and when he made a request, some things that were ancient, but had not been taken very seriously, were also tacitly handed over to him.

The tapestry spread on the table was brought back by Yang Jizhi three days ago, although it was broken to the point that it was not in shape, but after covering the door, Yang Jizhi was as excited as if he had dug up gold.

"Those guys, they really don't have eyesight, and they say that this is a tapestry used by the Seventh King... If you look at the pattern here, you can see that there is no Vajrapani spirit behind the logos of Padmasambhava and Darong... What does that mean? ”

At that time, Yun Chongbo and Hua Shengrong shook their heads blankly at his question, but Yang Jizhi was in a really good mood and didn't care at all.

"The spirit of Vajrapani Chana Dorjee was subdued by Guru Padmasambhava during the reign of His Holiness the Second King, and he was originally the mountain god of Nenqing, in charge of snow and hail, without him... It means that this tapestry is also from the reign of King II at the latest... A thousand years, at least a thousand years or more, these fools! ”

Since then, Yang Jizhi has been studying the tapestry on the table with an excited face, and muttering to himself from time to time, and the curious Yun Chongbo occasionally glances at it, but it is full of strange words that twist and turn, in him, it is the so-called "whether you read or not", which is no different from not reading.

According to Yang Jizhi, this is called "annoying text", which is a kind of special text for Buddhism, and the tapestry is still "ancient annoying text", which is more complicated than ten times more complicated than the popular and simplified annoying text.

"Even in Buddhism, there are very few people who understand it now... Well, if not for a professional like me..."

It's not just boasting, for three days, Yang Jizhi has been constantly identifying and translating the words on the tapestry, and neatly copied out two pieces of paper, seeing that his work seems to be coming to an end, Yun Chongbo couldn't suppress his curiosity and picked it up.

“… Great... What, why is it not clear in the first line? ”

Staring at Yun Chongbo with disdain, Yang Jizhi didn't answer, just bent his middle finger and knocked on the tapestry, where there was an obvious cavity.

"Oh..."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

(You, great what's what...) Your mount gallops like a white cloud, your noble body is rich and shining, every mouth of the sea is what your eyes are, every snow peak is your something, you have the symbol of a hero, you are white, the inner offering, the outer offering, and the secret offering are gathered in front of you like a cloud, like Mount Meru, what and what, what and what to maintain the operation of my Buddhism*... Your grandmother, how did you get bitten off so many parts by insects? ）

There are hundreds of words translated in total, and the middle is full of broken sentences, which is really hard to read, but the memory is very good, although I only read it once, Yun Chongbo can still recall many of the sentences.

(With such a heavy sycophant, you must have to invite some very good protectors, right?) However, if you like to be photographed like this, even if you are a god, you are probably very limited... ）

Thinking of some "blasphemous" thoughts, Yun Chongbo unconsciously shrank his head, looked left and right, and saw that the sky was still blue, so he calmed down.

(But be careful, there are gods when you look up, don't just care about the cool mouth like the uncle, and the result is so cool that you are struck by lightning...) ）

Strictly speaking, Yun Chongbo is not afraid of "unknowable" people, but the place where he is at the moment itself has formed a kind of pressure.

… Here, there is a "corpse", the corpse of a "temple".

Standing on top of the half-collapsed wall, Yun Chongbo saw at a glance that it was full of ruins and broken walls, and the broken house was like a skeleton, weakly inserted in the cold and hard ground, with occasional traces of life, and only indifferent wolves and vultures... A total of dozens of acres of land is full of this kind of scene.

Named "Rezhen", also known as the "Defaced Temple", it is located on the outskirts of Jiwo, not near any major road, and has been abandoned for nearly three hundred years, but today, Yun Chongbo has come here.

(It's so desolate...) ）

Jumping off the wall, Yun Chongbo slowly walked forward, bypassing an apparently burned warp stack, and crawling over a completely collapsed stone door, where he finally saw a large clearing.

(Uh-huh, I guess this is it...) ）

Just as he was about to look left and right, Yun Chongbo had already heard a cold voice.

"Immortal, you're late."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

This morning, as soon as Yun Chongbo went out, he found the highest secret language of Taiping Dao, hoping that he could go to the ruins of Rezhen Temple before noon today, although he did not make a payment... However, he could guess who the commenter should be.

"Immortal, you're late."

Because of Yun Chongbo's silence, Jiutian repeated this speech again, and at the same time, she slowly walked out of the ruins, still in the costume of Cha Mian Xiaoga, she looked at Yun Chongbo coldly.

Despite the use of the honorific title of "you", it seems that Jiutian does not have much respect for Yun Chongbo, and through the mask, her gaze is so cold that it is no different from that of Eagle Eagle, so indifferent that ... It's uncomfortable to make the cloud rush waves.

"I... I'm a little delayed. ”

Because of the discussion with Yang Jizhi, Yun Chongbo set off a little late, and in himself, he didn't think it was a very important thing, but obviously, Jiutian didn't think so.

"The undead... For Taiping Dao, the agreement is inviolable, and a breach of the contract may lead to the failure of the entire plan and the death of many Taoist friends... Senseless death. ”

The calm tone put a lot of pressure on Yun Chongbo, but fortunately, Jiutian quickly changed the topic and asked why Yun Chongbo hadn't left yet.

At the previous meeting, Jiutian showed his identity, but he didn't explain much to Yun Chongbo, only told him that everything that was going on here was in line with the interests and needs of Taiping Dao.

"As for the undead, you shouldn't be involved in all this, please leave, as soon as possible."

Although he didn't understand and was not very willing, Yun Chongbo still agreed to Jiutian's request, but later, a series of changes dragged him down, and he was more and more deeply involved in this matter.

"The reason for asking the undead to leave is because what will happen next will become more and more chaotic and dangerous..."

The voice was still flat, but Yun Chongbo felt that he seemed to hear some contempt, and was a little annoyed: Anyway, Yun Chongbo's evaluation of himself now is much higher than in the past, and besides, not long ago, he had just defeated Jiutian, if such a self might still be in danger, then why is she "in charge" here?

Of course, he didn't directly confess his dissatisfaction, but when Yun Chongbo carefully chose his words, saying that he wanted to do something and know more, he couldn't help but express his emotions.

"Everything here... The subordinates can't explain it yet. ”

Tell Yun Chongbo that this plan started a long time ago, when even Jiutian himself was just a babbling baby.

"Oh? So how old are you now? ”

I didn't expect Yun Chongbo to ask such a question, Jiutian was stunned for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "It is said... The subordinates are the same year as the greedy wolf, but we don't know who is bigger. ”

The word "supposedly" made Yun Chongbo stunned, but immediately, he understood.

“… I'm sorry. ”

Touching his head in embarrassment, Yun Chongbo hoped for Daoqian, but Jiutian didn't care.

"It's nothing... In the Taiping Road, this is really nothing. ”

Continuing what he had just said, Jiutian said that since Yun Chongbo had not been able to leave before Qu Xigangzhu returned, he had missed the best opportunity.

"Now... If you leave now, it's too late. ”

"Too late, why?"

Asked strangely, Jiutian seemed to laugh dryly, and then, she told Yun Chongbo that those who leave Jiwo after today will definitely be the first object of suspicion.

"Suspicion... Suspect what? ”

At first, he felt that something was wrong, but before he could ask anything more, Jiutian first made a gesture to lead Yun Chongbo to the back, leading a ruined broken tower.

"The subordinates asked the undead to come on time, not in passing, because you came an hour late, and you don't have time to leave now..."

Asked to stay quiet, Yun Chongbo saw more figures appear in the dead temple through the narrow window. Dressed in the same equipment as Jiutian, some of them were already seen by Yun Chongbo.

"You..."

"Well, yes, the remaining seven of the Nine Gods of War have all gathered here today."

Once again, he asked Yun Chongbo that he would never leave, and after that, Jiutian began to walk towards the bottom of the tower. At this time, looking into the distance, Yun Chongbo could already vaguely see that a convoy was coming from the direction of Jiwo.

"You... What the hell are you going to do today? ”

Without looking back, Jiutian left straight away, leaving only one answer, one that made Yun Chongbo's heart palpitate.

“… Kill the Buddha. ”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The sound of very light footsteps smashed the sand on the road, and Zi Rezhen had been burned to the point that only a third of the main hall was left, Qu Xigangzhu did not say a word, quietly observing the surroundings. Behind him, there was Bao Lin with a serious face, who followed closely at first, but after Qu Xigangzhu entered the main hall, he stopped. Further back, there were people of all kinds of clothes and statuses, monks, merchants and craftsmen, ordinary farmers and some tantric devotees from outside Jiwo, all the same: staring at Qu Xigangzhu's back with a reverent and expectant gaze.

Eager to get close to the "spirit child", but without any response from Qu Xi Gangzhu, in recent days, these people have been constantly appearing and increasing, always waiting outside the Dharma Palace, just to be able to see him when Qu Xi Gangzhu is out... Or, it's a conversation or even a blessing from Moding.

… The latter two, of course, are not available to anyone.

Sticking to his own position, he has the highest degree of respect for the void, and sometimes, that is even beyond the level that the "second spirit child" should observe.

"I just want to go home and see... Don't want to cause anything. ”

In private, he even confided his dissatisfaction to Qu Zhu and Bao Lian.

"I thought I could stay a little longer, but if it goes on like this, I think, I'll have to leave soon."

Regarding this, Bao Lin remained silent, and Qu Zhu directly agreed: from the Central Plains, he was familiar with the history of the past dynasties, and he was originally one of the people who were most worried about the appearance of Qu Xigangzhu.

(Thermal vibration... It was the last place I wanted to visit, and after that, it was time for me to leave... ）

Silently recalling Qu Xi Gangzhu's speech on the way here, Bao Lian's mood was very complicated, he sincerely trusted the current Dharma King, and he also hoped that Qu Xi Gangzhu would leave as soon as possible, but at the same time, some things that had been buried in his heart for decades, and Qu Xi Gangzhu's recent performance, made it difficult for him to completely sort out his emotions.

(Then if the Guru...) Did you really make the right decision that year? ）

Then, he suddenly looked up, and his face, which had been completely numb after decades of penance, was suddenly filled with "fear"!

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Passing through the dilapidated hall and passing through a square, Qu Xigangzhu's footsteps were very slow, and he didn't seem to have any purpose, just walking casually, always bypassing the first obstacle he encountered.

… Then, he stopped.

In front of me, there were people who should not have appeared, people who should not have appeared in a tantric monastery that had been abandoned for more than three hundred years and was not close to any important road.

On foot, wearing a thunderstone helmet, a gold cuirass, a tiger skin bow bag on the right side, a leopard skin quiver on the left side, a shield made of red bamboo in one hand, and a huge wheel with a thousand sharp edges in the other hand.

"Badaema Maben..."

Accurately calling out the name of the god of war, Qu Xigangzhu slowly clasped his palms and looked at the other party's eyes hidden behind the mask.

“… Come and kill me? ”

The next moment, in reply, the wheel cut through the air and slashed down.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Nine-headed Meteorite Vajra Method!"

The blackened giant condensed from the void, holding the two-gripped pestle in both hands, and at the last moment blocked the slash of the magic wheel, although the impact immediately caused the giant itself to collapse in the shock, but it gave Bao Lin a little time, crossed the entire clearing and formed a handprint at the same time, forcing Badama Ben back as he was about to attack again.

There was no time wasted, Badain Maben had just taken a step back, Bao Lin had immediately grabbed Qu Xigang Zhu and retreated backwards, but almost just moved less than two feet away, the slender and tough black rope had already rolled up to the ground, although it failed to wrap around Bao Shan's calf, but it interfered with his movements, and made it impossible for him to pass between the crossed swords.

With his backhand, he slapped a light blue handprint, and sent Lang Zazhu Ding and Cha Zai Todai together, and Bao Lin immediately shook off the Buddha beads from his neck, waved them into a circle, and forced the enemy to a space a zhang away.

"It doesn't make sense to do that... Treasure Silence. ”

The cold and confident voice came from the mouth of the Nine Heavens of the incarnation of Cha Mian Xiaoga, carrying the magic weapon "Lei Gong Whip" falsely called "Nine Springs", she stood far away, with a bit of mockery in her eyes.

"In the end, you will die with yourself... There is no point, nothing. ”

Breathing gently, Bao Lin quickly adjusted his emotions and stood up straight quietly, he didn't answer Jiutian's words at all.

"Hmm... In your eyes, I see determination, determination to fight to the death, but I wonder if this thing should only be dedicated to the only Dharma King who exists. Just a loser, a loser who has disappeared for twenty years, how can he get such loyalty? ”

Saying coldly, Jiu Tian shook the Lei Gong whip gently, and with a small movement, he brought out a huge electric sword several zhang long and slashed at the two of them.

"Broken!"

One of the rosaries was quickly crushed, and with the diffuse powder, Bao Lin met it with a punch, breaking the electric sword alive and leaving no damage.

"Sure enough, I prepared for my thunder technique... But so what? I can still do at least sixty-five hits with these lightning spells, and besides, they can be boosted to even stronger... Coupled with the other six, your stubbornness means nothing at all. ”

Fear appeared in his eyes for the first time, because Bao Lin knew that what the other party said was all right, even if he fought alone, he did not have the confidence to win over Jiutian, and when there were four other strong people around him, the result of the "battle" was not known at all.

"Moreover, it is impossible to 'escape'."

In the other direction, a figure with a bow and arrow in his hand appeared, and his eyes were clear, and he had rounded the longbow.

"So... Think about it one last time, all we want is this spirit child. ”

"Don't hurt His Holiness!"

The intricate roar was not caused by Bao Lone, and the believers who had been guarding outside the temple before were finally alarmed, and when they broke in, they happened to hear Jiutian's words.

"You demons!"

Roaring in anger, they poured in... However, it was just an axe light, and the first three people had been divided.

"It's boring..."

Sneering, the god of war named Tuqin Chadu let out a cruel and longing laugh, indeed, compared to them, these unarmed believers had no combat power at all.

However, "faith" can greatly enhance "courage", and believers still keep rushing forward knowing that they will die. When their own flesh and blood are splashed, they will appear with a "satisfied" smile instead.

"Master, please quickly take His Holiness and escape!"

One after another, slashed by a sword or a giant axe, soon dyed the ground bright red, looking at this, Bao Shan's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, but despite this, he was still able to control himself.

"Venerable, please..."

“… No. ”

Stunned, he still thought that Qu Xigangzhu was scrupling about Cha Mian Xiao Ga and Jeba Soduo, and Bao Lin hurriedly said that he was confident that he would block at least one round... Soon, however, his voice had weakened.

He could already feel the changes in Qu Xigangzhu.

Burning flames gradually appeared in his eyes, and Qu Xigang Zhu went out from behind the cover of Bao Lone.

"Seeing it all with my own eyes... Bao Lone, how can I endure it anymore? ”

"But, Your Holiness..."

A strong gesture cut off Bao Lian's speech, and Qu Xigangzhu's body began to exude some strange momentum.

"Don't persuade me again... Treasure Silence. You see, look at these people, these people who are so loyal to Tantra..."

"The meaning of His Holiness's existence... Isn't it just to protect the snowy region and all those who still have faith in Tantra?! ”

At this time, there were more than sixty dead people, and less than one-third of them were still alive, and this little number could no longer contain the three gods of war, and Jiutian seemed to have decided to give the final order, and the left hand that had been held up was finally waved down vigorously.

“… Kill. ”

A calm voice that seemed to have no emotion, but instead of sending it to Jiutian's mouth, another person, another, who should have only been the object of being sniped and protected, a person who should have no meaning, preemptively said this word.

At the same time, he even rushed in front of Tuchen Chadu, who had slaughtered the most believers, faster than everyone else, and blasted through his body with just one punch!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"And it's not just one person... It's five, five! ”

As he spoke, the stars splashed everywhere, and Hua Shengrong spread his five fingers hard, shaking in front of Yun Chongbo.

"Just one person, singled out seven gods of war, killed five, and the other two were also beaten to half death and fled... Oh my God, can you believe it, Nephew?! ”

"Okay, okay, you've said enough... It's so specific, you weren't there. ”

"But... Nephew, you're not here either? So, you can't at least say that I must be wrong, right? ”

At this time, it was the sixth day after the First World War, and everything that happened in Rezhen that day had become a legend, and it was constantly passed on by the people of Jiwo, and everyone was extremely excited.

"Of course, the matter of the Nine Gods of War is finally over... However, unfortunately, there are still not many clues. ”

Of the five corpses that fell, two were shattered alive, the other was decapitated by Jiutian when he fled, and the remaining two corpses had no clues to guess their identities.

In any case, in the minds of most people, the matter was finally coming to an end, and in the past few days, spontaneously organized celebrations have appeared in various parts of Jiwo, and among the participants, monks who have been ranked second in terms of influence.

"All of this actually creates a lot of pressure... In any case, His Holiness didn't do anything. ”

Qu Zhu believes that this may put some pressure on Bukong, and what makes him even more curious is the power of Qu Xigang Zhu.

"Obviously, they all said that he was brought back by Bangor in a semi-forced way... However, judging from the results of that battle, with Bangor, what qualifications did he have to 'force' him? ”

Of course, there are explanations for this, which are voluntary on the part of Qu Xigangzhu, and using Bangor, he can make his return significantly "involuntary"... But obviously, Bao Lin and others don't think like this.

"Those guys, they all seem to take this for granted, but they don't want to say anything, and they use the emperor to suppress them."

He complained stupidly, but Qu Zhu didn't really have to do it, and when he sighed and left, Yun Chongbo felt that he seemed to be very haggard, and he seemed to be a little different from usual.

"It's not strange... In fact, if he hadn't been sent by the emperor, he might have been asked to give an explanation by now. ”

"Huh?"

It was very strange to Hua Shengrong's words, and after getting more explanations, Yun Chongbo understood.

"Oooh... By the way, how would those guys know to go to the heat vibration ambush... yes, how do you know? ”

It is said that only Bao Lin and Qu Zhu knew in advance, of course, neither of them seemed likely to leak it, but if you have to choose one or the other, Qu Zhu... Of course, it is a more natural choice than Bao Shan.

"Alas, thinking about it like this, he really has a headache."

"However, no matter how much headache I have, I can't get a headache."

Still immersed in the study of the antiquities that he didn't know where he got them, Yang Jizhi said: "Seeing that another spirit boy is so beautiful, and the matter of the evil curse horn before is still unclear... Hey, now it's more stressful to make sure no one is more stressful than him. ”

"Huh?"

Yun Chongbo didn't understand too much, but he saw Hua Shengrong nodding again and again, and said, "Yes, yes... If we encounter this kind of thing, there are two ways to go. ”

"One is to run away,... First, simply bet to the end and strive for a big turnaround! ”

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

The confused Yun Chongbo just asked outside, but heard someone outside the door sigh: "The Dharma King... He went the second way. ”

Stepping in slowly, Fa Zhao's face seemed to be worried.

"I have just received news from Master Hui Sheng that His Holiness has ordered that the 'Golden Vase Sign' ceremony will be held again on the auspicious day five days later."

"What?!"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The wind blowing down from the snowy peaks slammed into the stone wall, was torn apart, and soon re-entangled, passing through and around the stone wall, and letting out a triumphant roar.

It's still Rezhen, it's still a desolate place that has been abandoned for nearly three hundred years, but in the eyes of Yun Chongbo, there are a lot more.

… Some of them made him very uncomfortable, but he couldn't catch them clearly, and he couldn't tell what they were.

The traces of the battle still exist, and the red blood stains can be seen everywhere, and it seems to have seeped into these ancient bricks and stones, among them, there are believers and gods of war.

(Really, what the hell are you doing...) ）

A few days ago, right here, Jiutian confidently declared to Yun Chongbo that he wanted to "kill the Buddha", but as a result, he was completely suppressed by Qu Xigangzhu, paid the heavy price of five dead and two injured, and fled in embarrassment. Although she doesn't have much respect for Yun Chongbo, she still has some worries about her.

(However, it seems that she was not seriously injured at the time, so it shouldn't matter, right?) ）

Vaguely, Jiutian didn't seem to be so embarrassed when he retreated, and Lang Zazhudin, who had almost been shattered by the sword and shield on his back, retreated.

(But if she loses out of seven to one, she should have been hit quite hard...) ）

The two exchanges, although they have never seen the true face of Jiutian, but Yun Chongbo's feeling, the other party seems to be a person who is extremely confident in himself, so it will be very uncomfortable to suffer such a big loss. And although he was sympathetic, in a deeper place, Yun Chongbo had a little bit of a mind that he was embarrassed to admit even himself.

(Ahh Why wasn't it Wenshuang who was sent to deal with this side of the matter? If she had been, she would have told me what was going on... If I had gone down to help that day, maybe it wouldn't have been so miserable. ）

knew that this was definitely "schadenfreude", but when no one saw it, Yun Chongbo couldn't help but secretly imagine what it would be like now if Xiao Wenshuang was presiding over this side of the matter?

(Ah, smell the frost, I haven't seen you for a long time...) ）

"Flower donor..."

"Huh?!"

Thinking about it, he didn't notice the approach of the footsteps, startled, Yun Chongbo hurriedly turned around, and saw that Bao Lin had come not far behind him, his hands folded, and he was quietly looking at himself.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today, it was the day of the "Golden Vase Sign", Yun Chongbo wanted to run to see the excitement, but he received a secret letter from Bao Lone, hoping that he could come to Rezhen Temple.

I was a little apprehensive in my heart, and I was worried that Bao Lin would ask something that he couldn't answer, so when Bao Lin finally spoke after staring at Yun Chongbo for a long time, Yun Chongbo was really stunned.

"Don't regret it, the ceremony of signing the golden bottle is actually not interesting at all..."

In a gentle voice, Bao Lin told Yun Chongbo that it was true that the Golden Vase was the most important ritual of Tantra, but that didn't mean it was very watchable.

"That room has a very high status, but it is very small, and the light is not good. However, this is not intentional. ”

It was originally the place where the first Dharma King sat down, and in that era of grass creation, there could not have been any very good conditions.

"Everything in it is basically the same as it was more than a thousand years ago, maybe it's because this is a bitter cold place, things break down slowly, and the beds and tables used by His Holiness at that time can still be used."

I had heard about it, and I also knew that this was deliberately promoted by Tantra as evidence of "the blessing of the Dharma King", Yun Chongbo secretly smiled in his heart. But I also admire the persistence of those believers who are willing to believe anything.

"The only thing that's different from back then is the golden bottle."

Given by the imperial court, a huge gold vase as high as half a man is covered with delicate patterns and inlaid with many precious stones of great value. It contains the relics of His Holiness and some of his favorite items during his lifetime, but as for the so-called "Qing Lot", there is no such action.

"Before starting, a bone fragment made with a secret method will be placed in the bottle, and then the candidate spirit children will take turns to enter the temple and silently chant in front of the golden bottle."

The sutra is the "Tripitaka", the most important sutra of Tantra, and at this time, the golden vase will react. By generating some marks on the bone fragments, you can determine who the true Dharma King is reincarnated.

"And now, this ritual must be almost over, right?"

According to Bao Lian, there are some completely different aspects of this year's Golden Vase Lotter from history, especially in the people who participated.

"This is the first time that someone from outside Tantra has participated in the confirmation."

In the name of the emperor, Qu Zhu was very adamant in asking to participate in the lottery, and when neither the Dharma King nor Qu Xigangzhu objected, this "completely unruly" thing was allowed.

To this end, he also called up some of the most confidential materials to learn how to identify the marks on bone shards.

In addition, Qu Zhu also broke another rule: when the two of them entered the hall to chant, he and several other senior monks would also enter the hall.

"Don't talk to me about any habits, we all know that this time things don't fit any of the habits at all."

Seemingly impatient, Qu Zhu did not hesitate to use the emperor's name to exert pressure, announcing that if he could not be allowed to participate in the whole process, he would not be able to approve this matter on behalf of the emperor.

"Oh, that's it..."

"So, now, Lord Qu should also be in the palace, watching His Holiness... and the chanting of His Holiness, however, it doesn't matter. ”

"Huh?"

Looking at Yun Chongbo, Bao Lin said in a low voice: "I invited the flower donor to come this time, but I actually wanted to ask about something. ”

After telling Yun Chongbo that after Rezhen, Fagong was very concerned about why the gods of war could know about the ambush here in advance, and conducted some investigations, and as soon as he heard this, Yun Chongbo's back began to sweat. And when Bao Lin said that after investigation, he found that Yun Chongbo's whereabouts on that day were completely unknown, and somewhere in the Rezhen Temple, there were also signs that someone was staying there to watch the battle, Yun Chongbo, he was completely speechless.

"This, Guru... I mean..."

Stammering, Yun Chongbo began to secretly check left and right, very worried about whether a large number of tantric powerhouses would immediately pour out to besiege him, and in the end, he felt that he really couldn't explain the matter of Jiutian, and he even turned his heart and told Bao Lin that he was indeed here that day, but the reason was really impossible to say.

It was not convincing at all, but, after a moment of silence, Bao Lin said that it was enough. As a result, Yun Chongbo couldn't help but ask, asking why he could pass the test in this way.

"It's... It is the confession of His Holiness the Dharma. ”

If according to the meaning of Bao Lin and the others, they should have directly arrested Yun Chongbo and interrogated him, and he had nothing to do with the Pure Land Sect, but the Dharma King seemed to have a good impression of Yun Chongbo and stopped this opinion.

"His Holiness said... He has never seen a look as clear as your donor's, and as long as you admit it, we will accept it whether you say it or not. ”

Dumbfounded, I don't understand why I can be believed in by Bukong, but no matter what, it's always a good thing.

The pressure relaxed slightly, and Yun Chongbo's mood immediately became much more comfortable, and he began to be able to think about other things, some things that had already made him curious.

"That, Master."

I couldn't figure it out before: Why was Qu Xigangzhu so strong that he was forced to come by Bangor? I believe Bao Lin must know that Yun Chongbo asked him a question.

“… I beg your pardon for not being able to say it explicitly. ”

Tell Yun Chongbo that this is one of the secrets of Tantra, and it can't be known, in short, Qu Xigangzhu's performance is completely normal, and there is no need to doubt it.

Predicting that he would answer like this, Yun Chongbo didn't feel much disappointed, and immediately, another question came to mind.

"If you just want to ask me... There should be a lot of places in the Dharma Palace, why do you have to come here again, Master? ”

Smiling bitterly, Bao Lin still didn't answer, but at that moment, his flickering gaze made Yun Chongbo read his worries.

"You... Are you worried about His Holiness? ”

When his heart was spoken, Bao Lin silently admitted, and later, he admitted that he had been doing his best to prevent His Holiness from making this decision.

"It's not necessary at all... What has long passed, repeating it, there is no point at all. ”

Scratching his head, Yun Chongbo didn't agree too much with Bao Lian's opinion.

"I think it's okay..."

The true one is always true, Yun Chongbo thinks that although it is very troublesome, but after such a time, everything can be put to an end. In fact, this was not only his idea, but also the thoughts of the vast majority of the common people and monks.

"Anyway, according to what you said, this thing can't cheat, and it can't make mistakes... So what's there to worry about? ”

Haha laughing, Yun Chongbo said that it was not the case that he was reincarnated as a Dharma King back then, but after twenty years, he was not.

"How is that possible... Uh, sorry. ”

Finding that Bao Lian's face was ugly, Yun Chongbo suddenly reacted: For the people of the Tantric Sect, the Dharma King and the Golden Vase Lottery are not things that can be joked about.

Daoqian, who nodded to accept Yun Chongbo, Bao Lone's face was still covered with dark clouds.

"Half of the reason I came here was because I didn't want to stay in the Dharma Palace and wait, that feeling was really uncomfortable..."

As he spoke, a cannon shot rang out in the distance, and red smoke rushed into the sky, and Bao Lin looked even more nervous when he saw that.

“… The results are in. ”

Obviously, he was eager to know immediately, but at the same time, Bao Lin was so nervous that he couldn't move, although his body was trembling slightly, he didn't move a single step, looking at Yun Chongbo's eyes, it was really strange.

(He...) He seems to be scared... What is there to be afraid of? ）

The final result was that when the two had not returned to the Dharma Palace, they had already met the fast horse who came to report the news.

“… Back to the Guru, the results have come out..."

The voice became lower and lower, and the messenger's expression was very strange, looking at this, even if it was Yun Chongbo, he could guess that the name won in the end.

"Recognized by the Golden Vase... It is the Venerable Qu Xi Gangzhu. ”

There was a little conjecture before, but when he did know, Yun Chongbo was still stunned, but compared to Bao Lian, his stunned was really nothing.

At the sound of the name, Bao Lin stood stiff as if struck by lightning, and for a moment seemed unable to hear anything, let alone speak, until the messenger repeated it twice, and he did not speak in a daze.

"Oh... Is it? ”

The great loss can be seen at a glance, and anyone can see what the result is looking forward to.

(Oh, but, this is not the same as the result of the golden bottle of the old year, could it be that bottle also mistakenly...) Why is this happening? ）

With a confused mind, Yun Chongbo asked the messenger if he had said that in the Tantric rules, what should I do if I didn't say that the two signs were different.

"I, I don't know, maybe, a third time?"

The messenger, who was also one of Bao Shan's disciples, was obviously frustrated by the result, and as he spoke, he secretly looked at Bao Shan, as if he wanted some support from him.

"No, it won't... And it's useless..."

With a bitter face, Bao Lin said half a sentence, but stopped abruptly, and hurried to the Dharma Palace, regardless of the fact that the two behind him were still confused.

Soon, the news spread throughout the city, bringing "consternation" to every corner, and everyone was overwhelmed by the unexpected turn of events, and most of them, as the Messenger had taken, began to wonder if there was something wrong with the process, and began to wonder if it should be done again.

“… At the end of the day, the current King has been in power for 20 years, and he has always done a good job, and he still has some prestige. ”

Still enthusiastically studying cultural relics, Yang Jizhi seemed to be completely unaffected by these things, and Hua Shengrong was just as calm and unmoved.

"Who is the Dharma King, what's the difference, it's just a seat, in fact, it doesn't matter who sits there."

Compared to them, Yun Chongbo seemed very uncomposed, walking back and forth in the house, always unsettled.

At this moment, almost all the high-ranking monks had entered the Dharma Palace to discuss this unprecedented matter and decide what to do. Among the people who were invited to go there were Fa Zhao and Qu Zhu, but there was no Bangor.

According to Fa Zhao's estimates, if the incumbent Dharma King asks for another lot, he should easily get the support of more than 70% of the monks.

"Anyway, he's been doing it for a long time, and there's nothing big wrong with him... In addition, there are many differences from the habits of this process, and it should be possible to do it again for these reasons. ”

Not only Fa Zhao, this is also the idea of most people, Hua Shengrong and Yang Jizhi both believe that the Fa King's decision to use the golden bottle is not to let himself step down quickly.

"Is it obvious, he held the signing purely to suppress the limelight of Qu Xigangzhu... It's not about getting in place. Now that you have enough cards in your hand, of course you have to continue gambling. ”

It seemed very convincing, but whenever he thought of Bao Lone, his bitter and heavy face, and his trembling and stiffness, Yun Chongbo felt that he was afraid that it would not be so simple

(What the hell does he know...) ）

Before nightfall, the conclusion came that almost smashed the jaws of Hua Shengrong and Yang Jizhi to pieces: the exact opposite of most people's expectations, and like Bao Shan's judgment, the current Dharma King announced that he had admitted his defeat.

"You can't go wrong with a golden bottle... I accept. ”

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the darkness, "Damian Cangjia" sat quietly.

When he is no longer the "Dharma King", he is no longer "not empty", and the name that has been abandoned for 20 years miraculously returns to him.

Because this was something that "never" happened, no one knew what to do with him, and in the end, it was the new King who made the decision.

"He, like me, has the great soul of the first Dharma King in his body... Therefore, he also has the right to continue to stay in the snowy region and stay in this Dharma Palace. ”

"I've learned the taste of homesickness for 20 years, and there's no need to pass it on to others."

Because of this, Damian Cangjia was able to remain in the Dharma Palace, and although he had to be removed from his original residence, he was still allocated one of the best rooms in the entire Dharma Palace. However, this cannot stop the change of "people's hearts".

When there was a subtle change in the attitude of those who had served respectfully for many years, Damian Kuraka taught them with a calm and noble smile to leave and go to places that seemed to bring more rewards and more safety.

Although at first it was fearful and cowardly, when the first person took the step, it was only a matter of time before the avalanche appeared, and soon, with various excuses, the crowd that had been around him dispersed one by one.

Quiet, dark silence, in the large room, Damian Cangjia, who sat quietly, seemed to have been completely swallowed up by the darkness.

I don't know how soon after, the air in the room began to flow slowly again, as if sensing this change, Da Mian Cangjia moved slightly, but was immediately stopped.

"You don't have to look back... You're sitting like that, and that's fine. ”

didn't look back, but Da Mian Cangjia obviously knew who it was.

"You... You're finally here. ”

"Well, I'm here because... You're wrong. ”

With a slight twitch on his shoulder, Da Mian Cangjia said: "Yes, I think, I was indeed wrong." ”

From the moment Qu Xigangzhu entered Jiwo, Da Mian Cangjia believed that the comer was just a stand-in, and by no means a real spirit child.

"No matter how much he does, no matter how much he tries to make them trust, I think he's fake."

"Yes," he smuttered, "but in the end, this person who is not a spirit child can actually win the Golden Vase Lottery." ”

Hearing this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his voice seemed to become heavy.

"I don't understand... That's the only thing I don't understand. ”

"He's obviously not Qu Xigangzhu... I had been sure of this until he walked into the Spirit Temple, but he had indeed been chosen by the golden vase that would never be wrong. ”

"However, he is clearly a fake."

"I have no proof, only feelings support me... I just know. ”

From the very beginning, Da Mian Cangjia thought that the person who Bangor picked up was definitely not Qu Xigangzhu, but just by feeling, it could not directly deny the authenticity of the other person, so Da Mian Cangjia didn't do anything, just quietly watched this person in action.

"He's doing a good job, he's very low-key, but he's always going to leak every bit of his whereabouts... Before you know it, someone is already attracted to him. ”

It wouldn't hurt if it was just like that, but after the First Battle of Rezhen, Damian Cangjia couldn't pretend that anything else had happened.

"The power he showed... It's nothing for ordinary believers, but it means a lot to high-ranking monks who really have status. ”

"Every mouthful of sea is your eyes, every snowy peak is your finger, you have the symbol of heroes, you are white, the three of the inside, the outside, and the secret are gathered in front of you like a cloud, as high as Mount Meru... Really? ”

Reciting softly, the man chuckled, "But there are also your mistakes... Why didn't you strike sooner and end all this sooner? ”

Shaking his head slightly, Da Mian Cangjia said: "I... I may be able to, but I don't have a chance. ”

has been plagued by strange diseases, and entangled in the secret battle between the Six Sages and the three major temples, at the same time, Da Mian Cangjia has never participated in any actual combat, although he believes that he has great power, but when he has no experience, it may not be very useful.

"And Bao Lin has been persuading me... He persuaded me not to make a move, and even after Ji Xiang Yu and Bao King Kong fell, he still advised me not to go. ”

“… Do you doubt him? ”

The reaction of the person who came was very sharp and natural, but Damian Cangjia just shook his head.

"Absolutely not."

But he did have something in his heart, something that made him more and more emaciated. But as long as he doesn't want to say, I don't ask."

With great respect for this old man and a high degree of trust, Tamian Cangjia did not want to force him to say it.

"Even now?"

"Even now."

When Damian Cangjia was firm, the visitor stopped continuing the topic.

"And the reason why you decided to hold the Golden Vase Signing Ceremony is because you think he is fake, because you want to end everything in the most direct and fastest way... Right. ”

"Yes."

Smiling bitterly, Da Mian Cangjia said, but he didn't think that in the end, he was the one who was screened out.

"Wait... Have you thrown in the towel? ”

The visitor was surprised by Damian's attitude and said that everything could still be reversed.

"Is he true or false... Actually, it doesn't make sense. When I make a move, it's all the same. ”

The tone was full of confidence, and the man thought that defeating and killing the Nine War Gods was nothing at all.

"It's just some little ghosts, and the gap between them is also very big, if it was this seat that day, no one would escape."

Bringing up something that Da Mian Cangjia also understood, the man said that he always counted what he said.

"Give me what you can, and I'll give you what I promised... Then, everything will end, and it will be the same as before. I said that, and I still say it. ”

"Nope."

Rejecting the offer, Tamian Cangjia said that he could not do so.

"Because, he did pass the Golden Vase Lottery."

Believing in the golden vase, believing that no one can do anything about it, Damian Cangjia believes that no matter who came before, when he can pass the choice of the golden vase, he is the real Dharma King, the reincarnation of the non-empty. And I don't really care about the position of the king.

"The young man... He spoke very correctly, and this position is actually very sad. ”

"Actually, this is just a seat, anyone can sit on it, and those who can make the golden bottle approve can sit in this seat."

Even if he knew that he was defeated by the "conspiracy", he didn't care, when he confirmed that the other party was indeed a reincarnated spirit child, and when he confirmed that the other party was indeed qualified to become the Dharma King, Da Mian Cangjia, he didn't want to fight anymore at all.

With a sneer, the man asked Damian Cangjia if this was the only reason.

"Are you still worried about giving me what I want?"

"Yes."

Frankly admitted, Da Mian Cangjia said that what the man wanted, he really didn't dare to give it easily.

There was a long stalemate, and finally, the man sighed softly and disappeared into the darkness.

"Doubt yourself... That's up to you. But anyway, I'll wait a little longer,"

"If you change your mind, you can come to me at any time."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sitting in the dark, Bangor was very excited and very happy.

With sweat on his face, he was so excited that he kept squirming in his chair.

"You're so excited... It's not good. ”

Hiding in the black, the person who was waiting for Bangor finally appeared, standing in front of the window, and he told Bangor lightly that it was easy to see the problem when he was so excited.

"The new Dharma King has reprimanded you severely, and you have not received any sweetness... So you shouldn't be happy. ”

Smiling, Bangor said that there were only two of them now, so he could relax a little.

"Two?"

Smiling sarcastically, the man gestured into the darkness, squinting his eyes, and Bango Fang noticed that there was still a man lying on the ground.

I wanted to see who it was, but before I did, the people who came had already started asking Bangor questions.

“… That's it, absolutely no problem. ”

His face turned serious, Bangor quickly reported a few things in the recent days, saying that there would be no problem and that he would not leave the tail of his hand, and when he saw that the man seemed to be slightly relaxed, he smiled even more wryly, hoping to know something.

“… How did that fake get through the Golden Bottle? ”

This was Bangor's primary concern, and it kept him awake until the dust settled.

"Well, you don't have to know..."

The man told Bangor that in addition to what he had just explained, there were two other things that had to be done tonight.

"To kill two people... I'll leave one to you, I'll do it myself, and then everything will be seamless. ”

"Do you want me to do it?"

A little confused, and even more surprised when Bangor finally saw who was lying on the ground. But when the man was completely subdued, he drew his sword and cut off the man's head.

"With this sword, I have no way to retreat, my lord, everything depends on you in the future."

Nodding slightly, the man said that was of course.

"However, you don't need to do anything anymore, it's over... Well, no, you have to do one more thing, you have to do it. ”

Bangor immediately said solemnly: "My lord, please just give orders, the villain will never give up... Hmm, my lord?! ”

The voice suddenly increased, but immediately cut off...... A dagger inserted into the throat was cut off alive.

"The last thing you can do for me... It's just to die, and to die quickly. ”

Quietly watching Bangor twist and fall, the man, as if finally reassured, slowly pulled off the hood on his head, stepped to the window, and watched the lights outside.

"Jivo... After twenty years late, you're finally back in my hands. ”

The moonlight fell and shone on the calm, smiling face of the new Holiness Qu Xi Gangzhu, and on the distorted, angry face of Bangor... Also, there is Qu Zhu, whose face has been completely deformed by a large knife, which is significantly doubly terrifying under the moonlight.
