Chapter 52: The Temple of the Dry Buddha

Times are changing, science and technology are developing, and human abilities are almost the same as those of immortals.

Flying to the sky, thousands of miles a day, calling for wind and rain, moving mountains and seas. These people can already do it.

No matter how strange the demons are, they can't resist missiles and lightning.

On the earth, talent is the true master, the spirit of all things, and the chief of living beings.

Zhang Xuan wandered around outside for a long time and familiarized himself with the environment, and then took Clayderman into the temple.

The gate is indigo, which looks quite cult.

"Empty ~ Ka Ka ~ Ka ~ Ka ~"

I thought this door was very strong, but when I pushed it, I found that this door was not closed at all.

It's just an ordinary cover-up,

This made Zhang Xuan can't help but be vigilant.

Who will not close the door?

Is my door always open?

Then don't be a gate!

This place should have been inhabited before, but the gate was just a covering.

Apparently the last time the door was closed, it was just brought from the outside!

According to the general situation, the ancient temple and Taoist temple must have a story, then, nine times out of ten, what evil demons are suppressed,

But one day it broke out, slaughtered, and left.

Only one child escaped, and then he closed the door and went out to find help.

However, he did not come back!

"This guess is quite logical, at least bring the door shut, at least one more person has appeared here, but the time is not necessarily! If you want me to test the waters, apparently they haven't been in here! ”

Zhang Xuan said in a low voice: "Clayderman, you smell it first, is there any abnormal aura?" I don't feel any other anomalous aura fluctuations here! ”

"Sniff~~Sniff~"

Rhubarb was a little unresponsive to his new name, the name Clayderman was too foreign,

The state has expressly forbidden the community to give such foreign names to its own cultural characteristics.

"Sniff~sniff~ha~ha~"

Clayderman sniffed a few times, and then looked at Zhang Xuanzhi wagging his tail, but there was no other reaction, Zhang Xuan smiled:

"Well done, but we can't let our guard down, this is our first adventure together, as your new owner, I think this is a test for us, a test of our tacit understanding!"

"Ha~Ha~"

Clayderman didn't quite understand what Zhang Xuan said, but he knew that his new master would not harm him.

A man and a dog entered the temple.

Unlike the faint glow outside, the inside of this temple is dark.

There are no oil lamps and incense, but Zhang Xuan's eyesight is amazing, and the little darkness can't stop Zhang Xuan at all.

Push the door is an open square,

Of course, this temple is closed, surrounded by walls, and if you want to say that it is a large courtyard, it is also possible.

The yard was very clean and there was a tree planted, but there was no fallen leaves.

This is not scientific, it is not uncommon to have trees in the yard, and the trees do not die if no one takes care of them, which is also very common.

But your tree, which doesn't shed leaves, is a bit weird.

Zhang Xuan was not on this tree, feeling angry,

If there is no life, the tree will naturally not draw branches and grow leaves, and then the leaves will return to the roots, and so on.

"Dry Buddha Temple?"

Zhang Xuan muttered to himself, the Dry Buddha Temple is really a bit of a doorway.

A cultivator must not only be able to cultivate, but also know the state of his peers.

After all, peers are enemies, and those who grab jobs can't relax their vigilance.

Therefore, in addition to reading Taoist books, Zhang Xuan will also read other sect classics.

When I encounter it later, I have a way to deal with it, so I know it in my heart.

At that time, Shakyamuni was destroyed between the Brahmana trees in the city of Kushna, and there were two trees in the east, west, north and south corners, each representing two sides of things, which was quite yin and yang.

The eastern twin trees represent permanence and impermanence, the western twin trees represent self and selflessness, the southern twin trees represent happiness and unhappiness, and the northern twin trees represent purity and impurity.

Therefore, the tree of prosperity represents the positive, there is always happiness, there is self and there is purity, and the withered tree represents the negative, impermanence and joy, and there is no self and no purity.

If the Buddha is in between these eight states, he will enter the extremely high realm of non-withering and non-glory, non-false and non-empty.

However, the people in this dry Buddha temple have only cultivated to the realm of half-pulling.

However, even the realm of this half-pulled is already the strength of an arhat, and he can roam the world without restraint.

Have you ever seen Monk Jigong? That's an Arhat!

Therefore, Zhang Xuan's vigilance did not relax because there was no one here, but became more vigilant.

The more Zen a place is, the more careless it is.

Light the talisman fire and push open the Daxiong Treasure Hall, which is a big Buddha.

It's just that this big Buddha is carved out of wood, and there is no gold leaf on the lacquer, showing the original wood grain.

"This Buddha statue is not compassionate!"

Zhang Xuan was extremely surprised, and after a closer look, the corners of the Buddha's eyes were slightly upturned, his eyebrows were raised, and his eyes were bulging, showing some insidious and treacherous.

Zhang Xuan glanced at this Buddha statue, but his ears gradually sounded, some buzzing sounds,

It's like pulling his mind into an erosive sleep.

"Definitely!"

Zhang Xuan shouted, and immediately the mana on his body exploded, and the mana of the Liujia Heavenly Book operated.

The feeling of discomfort disappeared, and peace returned to the hall!

"It's so dangerous, this Buddha statue actually launched an attack in silence! It's in the weird way! ”

Zhang Xuan looked around, but found no other movement.

The layout of the Daxiong Treasure Hall makes people feel uncomfortable, and after observing for a while, Zhang Xuan found that some of the arrangements here are not coordinated, and the desk is asymmetrical, one high and one low.

The tribute is asymmetrical, from left to right, the fruit plate is stacked high in turn, and the strange Buddha statue, the lines on the left half and the right half are very similar, but the subtleties are completely different.

These incongruities add up to form such a strange place.

It's like obsessive-compulsive disorder, and when you see the red floor, a conspicuous yellow floor appears.

However, inside this hall, it is aimed at a wider range of people,

So this Daxiong Treasure Palace, as long as you don't look around, then there will be no things, the so-called guarding the gods in the quiet, and guarding the shape in the movement.

"Wang~Wang~"

Clayderman shouted several times at the bottom of the desk, as if he had found something,

Zhang Xuan squatted down quietly, the case was covered by a cloth, and when he opened it, there were four sets of neat clothes inside.

"Huh? Modern clothes? Not good! ”

Zhang Xuan was startled and hurriedly got up, but it was too late, the door of the Daxiong Treasure Hall slammed shut.

The wind gusted and chilled.

Suddenly, the Buddha statue had a big mouth, and then there was an extremely strong suction, which sucked Zhang Xuan in.

After a whirlwind of the world, Zhang Xuan felt that there was a substance under his feet.

"If I hadn't used the five-layer gold armor in time, I would have either fallen and rolled all over the ground or broken both legs, Clayderman? Are you okay? ”

In the golden light, Zhang Xuan was safe and sound,

But Clayderman was nowhere to be seen, and what was even more strange was that Zhang Xuan found himself in a strange space again.

In the distance, a half-old city seems to be an ancient town,

The old city, the dilapidated ox carts, most of the men wore broken shoes in coarse cloth shirts, and there were very few women, all of whom had small feet, and they were in a hurry, and they were ashamed to see people.

In addition to these, the man here is half bald, and the back is a long braid,

If these are real ghosts, they are more than 100 years old!

Zhang Xuan followed him into the city, but there was nothing abnormal, even if he was wearing a down jacket and no braids, which did not match the style here at all.

However, on this seemingly peaceful street, cannibalism is being staged.

The bun shop chops up the corpse, and the fried fingers of the fritters are fried, and it is really dangerous here!

"Little brother, are you having breakfast? Do you want a basket of fresh steamed buns? Absolutely delicious~"

In front of the bun shop, the boss watched Zhang Xuan stop and greeted him warmly.

"It's not fresh, it's meat that already stinks, at least it's meat from five days ago!"

Zhang Xuan resisted the urge to do it, but shook his head and left.

The ghosts here, even the most ordinary, are more than a hundred years old, and there are 2,000 people in a small town, if there is a fight, he can't bear it!

Walking through this town, Zhang Xuan found that there were many ghosts dressed up like him.

It's just that in their eyes, there is no brilliance, and they have become evil ghosts here.

"Is this the belly of a Buddha statue? Are they all attracted to this Buddha statue? ”

"But that's not right, what are the Buddha statues doing with these ghosts?"

"Don't absorb them and improve your strength?"

"Or is it the same as the eminent monks, just let them live here?"

"Let them put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha in a peaceful life?"

Just when Zhang Xuan was thinking about the sea of knowledge, a centaur came in front of him,

No, a half-human sheep to be exact,

The lower half of this man's body was a goat.

But if you take a closer look, this half-human sheep is not a natural half-human sheep, but a ghost sewn together by a human and a sheep, this person looked at Zhang Xuan and smiled:

"Looks good, right? I can even climb cliffs now! If you're interested, I have a goat at to give you a discount~"

"A little later~A little later~"

Zhang Xuan stiffened his smile and continued to walk into the town, where there were a mixture of various factions and ghosts from all over the world, as lively as the Olympic Games.

For solving the mastermind behind the scenes, Zhang Xuan has no expectations,

The people behind this scene, or ghosts, or monsters, are obviously not something that Zhang Xuan can resist.

Just as Zhang Xuan was pondering to leave here, someone suddenly stopped him:

"This fellow Daoist, please stay!"

Zhang Xuan looked back and found that a mustachioed Taoist priest stopped him,

This person has a clear appearance, a dusty bearing, and is dressed in a dark blue robe, and seems to have a little thought.

"Me?"

Zhang Xuan raised his finger and pointed to his nose and said unexpectedly:

"How do you know that I am also a cultivator? I didn't wear this robe! Could it be that you can pinch and calculate? ”

"Temperament!"

The Taoist priest smiled, and immediately walked over and said:

"The three Qing Dao methods have the same origin, and the poor Dao cultivation has a lot of experience, so it is natural to see the traces of the Taoist friend's exercises, which is to move the gong and break the evil all the way, right?"

"Yes, yes, Daoist friend is polite, my name is Zhang Xuan!"

Zhang Xuanji said, and the Taoist also hurriedly returned the salute:

"Poor road horses, I have seen Taoist friends, please come to the house to talk~"

Zhang Xuan had no choice, followed this horse road leader, turned left and right, and finally entered a small Taoist temple.

After serving tea, this horse shook his head and said:

"Why do Taoist friends come here, they don't know that this place is dangerous, although there is nothing to do during the day, but at night, they will come out, go crazy and do evil, eat blood and gnaw the marrow, and have no humanity!"

"Thank you for the reminder! I also strayed into this place, for a while I can't get out of trouble, and there is no other place to go, I hope that Taoist friends will take in one or two for the sake of the same door! Zhang Xuan said again.

"Even if it's the same door, there are three liters of rice!"

The horse walker smiled and said, "Since you can't get out of trouble, let's rest here first, so as to prepare for the future!" ”

"Senior Brother Ma, what's the situation here? Can you explain it to me? ”

Zhang Xuan hit the snake and put the stick, and the relationship was raised.

"Senior brother, why be polite, this is a blessed place, but you can enter but not exit, there is independence from heaven and earth, the person who comes in is dead, and the soul cannot be reincarnated!"

Ma Xing sighed: "You can't live in life, you can't die in death, there is no progress in cultivation, and your skills don't regress, you stay for hundreds of years, I don't know that the world outside is upside down, and the sea is dry and rotten!" ”

"Dead souls don't dissipate?" Zhang Xuan was quite surprised, the soul is immortal, that is the level of ghosts and immortals, and it is also one of the realms pursued by cultivators.

"If you don't get remembered, you'll be fine!"

Ma Xing said with a smile: "The aura here is extremely strong, not to mention the immortality of the souls of the dead, even those cattle, sheep, animals, grass, trees, bamboos and stones, it is possible to give birth to souls!" ”

"I don't know how many years I've been here?" Zhang Xuan continued to ask,

The horse thought for a moment and said, "I don't remember very well, but I just remember that in order to avoid the chaos of Yungui, I fled to the mountains and strayed into this place!" ”

It turned out to be a hundred and fifty-year-old ghost, no wonder his vision is so good!

Zhang Xuan was stunned, and continued to ask: "Senior brother, why are the people outside eating corpses?" There's not even a little blood, and it's ineffective to eat it! ”

Blood eats blood, and the blood of the living is a good thing to improve skills.

As for the corpse, it is of little practical use, just like eating sugar cane, the juice is the point.

Ma Xing sneered: "That's a group of crazy people, they thought that if they ate the corpse, their strength would increase, and then they rushed out from here, and they didn't know who spread it, and it became more and more intense!"

Zhang Xuan was noncommittal, and the horse road chief didn't care when he saw it:

"I'm an orthodox monk, even if I want to specialize in other demonic paths, I will directly absorb the Yin Soul to strengthen my body, much faster than eating corpses! It's just that I disdain it! ”

If a cultivator turns to the Demon Dao, his achievements will far exceed those of those who only cultivate the Demon Dao, after all, he has a theoretical foundation, and it will be easier to practice it.

It's just that heaven and earth have a fixed number, and if you do too many bad things, you will inevitably seek your own death.

Therefore, the number of monks who have fallen into the devil's path is much smaller than that of people from other sects.

"It's abrupt, with the heart of a villain, I live the belly of a gentleman, and please don't be surprised!"

Zhang Xuanji apologized again and again, there was no bloody smell on this horse shop.

Communicating with Ma Xingdao, Ma Xing knew that the outside world was turned upside down, and Zhang Xuan also knew the general situation here.

Although it is secluded, it is not uninhabited, and people come in almost every year.

In the past, in this city, it was dominated by top masters, and the matter of cannibalism was not so serious.

However, then these masters did not know what happened.

Some say they left, some say they are dead, these are speculations without evidence.
