Stone Buddha Temple.

Foothills.

On the first level of bluestone steps, there are fallen leaves.

The autumn wind blows, and the chill surges.

Zhong Shenxiu was dressed in a white robe and wore a Shura mask on his face, and slowly climbed the stairs.

"Birdsong Mountain is more secluded......"

He chanted a few words casually, and when he walked to the end of the steps, he saw this ancestral garden of Buddhism.

The yellow walls and red tiles, the temple door is closed, and a thick layer of dust has accumulated on the incense burner.

I don't know how long it has been since there have been no pilgrims here.

"Where are the monks of the Stone Buddha Temple? The Immortal Evil Emperor came to worship the mountain! ”

Zhong Shenxiu's voice was loud, and all of them turned into the secret chant of the heavenly demons, spreading into the temple, looking for the living.

'Holy monk, you spirit of heaven, don't blame me...... I'm just here to make some gains......

He said a word in his heart, and it didn't take long for him to see the temple gate open with a bang, and a group of grandmaster monks walked out.

The monk Jingfan was also among them, proclaiming the Buddha's name with an expressionless face.

"It turns out that the Evil Emperor has arrived...... The poor monk already knows the meaning of the donor, and he is invited to enter the temple to talk. ”

An old monk folded his hands and saluted respectfully.

'Uh...... So polite, how can I fight? ’

Zhong Shenxiu secretly rolled his eyes, and felt like a punch on the cotton.

He thought about it, didn't say anything cruel, but followed into the Stone Buddha Temple.

"The donor forgives the sin, since the holy monk was destroyed, my Shifo Temple has decided to close the temple, and I don't see outsiders, so I don't have much preparation......"

Entering the wing, a little novice served tea, and the old monk confessed.

"Oh? Do you already know about the death of the holy monk? ”

Zhong Shenxiu thought that the temples under the Stone Buddha Temple were widely spread all over the world, and he didn't care.

"Before the holy monk died, he once transmitted the decree to us with the great magic power of the heart-to-heart......" The old monk got up and saluted respectfully: "Jingfan, you will take the evil emperor to Folin." ”

"Obey the law."

Monk Jingfan's face was as crystal as jade, and it seemed that his martial arts had made great progress, and he took a step forward at this time, with an expression of no sadness or joy: "Evil Emperor, please!" ”

Zhong Shenxiu nodded, followed behind Monk Jingfan, and walked into the depths of the Stone Buddha Temple.

After turning around a large number of halls and squares, he came to a flat land.

On the flat ground, there are stone Buddha statues sitting or lying, they have different appearances, different expressions, lifelike.

"This is the ...... of the Buddha Forest of this temple" Monk Jingfan led the way while explaining to Zhong Shenxiu: "It is the forbidden place of this temple, and the original "Stone Buddha Sutra" is hidden. ”

"Oh? Thank you very much for that. ”

Zhong Shenxiu smiled hoarsely.

"Amitabha, since it is the final decision of the holy monks, there is naturally nothing to do with the temple...... After doing this, the Stone Buddha Temple will really close the mountain gate and not communicate with the outside world. ”

Jingfan bowed his head, took Zhong Shenxiu, and walked to the middle of Folin.

Although this place seemed to be a square, Zhong Shenxiu could sense that there were grandmaster-level warrior monks patrolling all around.

Even if it is an iron-blooded god hunt, it may not be able to break in without alarming others.

This stone Buddha temple also looks like a hollow big radish, as soon as the holy monk dies, the great master will be cut off, no wonder to close the mountain gate, temporarily to the court to soften...... Speaking of which, is that Suyin fairy really alive? ’

In Zhong Shenxiu's heart, all kinds of thoughts poured out.

He looked at the tall stone Buddha statues around him, and suddenly felt a chill on his body.

"Amitabha."

Jingfan led Zhong Shenxiu to a reclining Buddha, and proclaimed the Buddha's name: "The Stone Buddha Sutra of my temple is here......

Zhong Shenxiu also looked at the reclining Buddha.

It is a grayish stone color, lying on its side, with large ears and a smile that seems to contain extreme pain in its eyes.

"This is the first generation of Bodhidharma holy monk...... "Stone Buddha Sutra" is extremely weird, can be cultivated into a stone Buddha is not bad, but it is easy to go mad and turn into a stone statue...... This piece of Buddha forest is the stone Buddha temple in the past dynasties to comprehend the "Stone Buddha Sutra" failed, and the monks who went crazy turned into demons. ”

Jingfan's voice was unhurried: "The evil emperor wants to read the "Stone Buddha Sutra", please be careful." ”

It turns out that the "Stone Buddha Sutra", one of the four strange books, is the petrified body of the first generation of Bodhidharma holy monks? ’

Zhong Shenxiu nodded, and then looked at those stone Buddha statues, and found more differences.

Some of them waved and danced, and some seemed to advance to the realm of great bliss and great joy.

Some of them had distorted faces, as if they had seen some hideous monster and were trapped in the eighteenth layer of hell......

All of these are influenced by the "Stone Buddha Sutra".

"If you fail to cultivate, you will be a fossil Buddha?"

Zhong Shenxiu asked: "What ......is the first generation of holy monks?"

"The Stone Buddha Sutra is strange and unpredictable, even if the cultivation is successful, when you die, you will also have petrification symptoms...... Perhaps, this is the rumored golden body of Arhat? ”

Monk Jingfan gave an explanation.

While the golden body sounds like it should be golden, the stone is also immortal and can live forever.

"Little monk, you have a lot of ideas, do you want to enter my demon path?"

Zhong Shenxiu laughed.

"The little monk can't trespass, wait outside the Buddha forest, please tell the little monk what the donor commands......"

The monk was not provoked at all, and after bowing, he withdrew from the forest.

"It's boring......

Zhong Shenxiu pursed his lips and sat cross-legged in front of the stone Buddha, slightly excited: "It's been so long, and I finally came into contact with the four strange books......

……

Before you know it, a day passes.

Zhong Shenxiu sat in front of the stone statue, finally adjusted his state, and began to try to enlighten.

Speaking of which...... These four strange books probably belong to the kind of method that is too rational and may not be able to comprehend success...... But why can't you ask Monk Jingfan for some wine and meat to help the fun, right? ’

By the moonlight, Zhong Shenxiu glanced at the figure outside of Folin, but still dispelled this idea.

After all, they are still acquaintances, and it is not good to pit each other like this.

In the darkness, the stone Buddha statue seemed to come to life.

Zhong Shenxiu could sense that in the darkness, there were countless pairs of eyes, staring at him.

Whew!

The breeze was originally just the most common natural phenomenon, but when you pass through this forest, it suddenly makes a difference.

Whining!

The sound of the wind in Zhong Shenxiu's ears produced a strange change, high and low, gradually becoming blurred, and it seemed to be mixed with a certain shout.

It was a poignant, deep voice.

It was only repeating two words: "Great Mo, Great Demon!" Great Mo, Great Demon! ”

This sound, almost like a hammer, struck on the heart of everyone who heard it.

Outside of the Buddha Forest, Jing Fan trembled, and couldn't help but avoid a distance: "In the Buddha Forest at night, even the warrior monks dare not patrol, and it is said that a large number of people have been driven crazy...... Pure and bright, isn't it the same? ”

As soon as he thought of the other party, he felt that the demonic thoughts in his heart suddenly increased, and he couldn't help but chant Amitabha Buddha a few more times, and then turned his gaze to the figure in the Buddha forest, which was still sitting cross-legged.
