Chapter 120 ◎ Forbidden Land of the Spiritual Domain
However, glancing at Xue Chen, Xiahou Rin thought of another thing.
"What happened when you went back to Lingshan?"
After hearing this, Xue Chen asked, "The last time I went was when I was bitten, it was because of a distress call from her friend that we passed, but when we arrived at the Huiling Temple, there was no one inside, and the Daxiong Treasure Hall was also deserted, and the whole mountain was empty, her friend shouted and said let's go quickly, but before the mountain went down, the ghost hit the wall, and then there was a scene of a lot of blood ghosts rushing over." ”
Xiahou Rin listened and looked at Hehuan again and asked, "Then what about the last time?" ”
Last time?
Hehuan looked at Xiahou Rin, with some suspicion in his eyes, how did Xiahou Rin know that they had been to Huiling Mountain once before?
However, now is not the time to dwell on this, Hehuan recalled one by one and said, "When I went back to Lingshan for the first time, there were quite a lot of people, and the incense was very strong, the main hall was also very beautiful, and the peach blossom forest in the backyard was also beautiful, and the weird thing was from those wishing ropes and signs hanging on those trees, I saw Sister Gu's sign there......"
Speaking of this, Hehuan quietly glanced up at Xiahou Rin, but found that he didn't react, so he had to continue, "After seeing that sign, a white mist began to rise all around, and then everything changed, and it became the appearance of the Huiling Temple now, a barren place, without any human figure, and then, the sign in my hand also changed, and it was ...... There's more of your name on it......"
Hehuan said more and more unconfident, she didn't understand what love and hatred Xiahou Rin and Gu Wanwan had before, these two people didn't seem to be willing to mention each other too much, but Xiahou Rin's face was as usual, and he didn't care, but Xue Chen was looking at Xiahou Rin from the side, and he always felt that the aura around him had become a little sad.
"Isn't there anything else? What about in the hall? What's weird? Xiahou Rin was focused, and did not entangle the little gossip in Lianhuan's heart, such as waking up from a gossip dream with a word, Hehuan suddenly jumped down from the wooden horse and said, "Yes! There is something wrong with the statue of Guanyin in the main hall, since the surrounding area has become barren, it has also changed, it is not the kind of Guanyin that was enshrined before, it has become a hideous rakshasa, just like those in hell, it looks particularly bloody and violent. ”
Xue Chen also nodded in agreement, and it was indeed the same when he went the second time.
After hearing this, Xiahou Rin just nodded and pondered, as if he remembered those past things, he hesitated a little, and only said after a long time, "That Huiling Temple is the forbidden place of the spiritual realm. ”
Forbidden?
After hearing this, Hehuan and Xue Chen both looked at Xiahou Rin intently, as if they had some new stories to listen to.
"From the time I can remember, there is only one forbidden place in the spiritual realm, Huiling Temple, but there are still many people living in peace under Huiling Mountain, but few people go up to the top of the mountain."
At that time, I told her that the temple on the top of the mountain was a forbidden place in the spiritual realm, and we didn't plan to go up the mountain, I wanted to stay at the bottom of the mountain for one night and then continue walking, but that night, I heard a few mothers-in-law in the village telling stories, they said that a long, long time ago, there was a monk in the Huiling Temple, because the love was not broken, fell in love with the peach demon in the peach blossom forest, and then did something ridiculous, after the matter was revealed, The abbot wanted to expel the monk from the temple, but after the monk left, the little novice came to report that the monk's body had been found in the depths of the dry well. ”
"I'm afraid that the monk who went down the mountain is not the real one, the abbot sent someone to find it, only saw the peach petals along the road, and there was no monk, rumors spread in the temple, one passed on one by one, saying that there were spirits in the temple, and the mountain was demagoguery, and the local government was afraid that it would not be able to suppress the panic of the people, so they plotted a fire and burned the entire temple clean, at that time, it was probably the appearance of the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty."
"We thought that the story was just a story, but that night, it rained peach blossoms on Huiling Mountain, and all the peach petals fell, and only Gu Wanwan and I could see it, we suspected that there was something wrong on the mountain, so we went up to check, but found that everything was normal in the Huiling Temple, although the peach blossom forest in the backyard was burned, but the jade plates that had been tied to it for a peaceful marriage were still there, and gradually said that when I was in the human world, I heard that the peach blossoms in Huiling Mountain were very spiritual, and that story could not be taken seriously, and she also wanted to hang a jade plaque......"
"That night, I hung up the jade plaque with her, and we all found that the door of the Huiling Temple could not be opened, it was closed very tightly, and the front door and back door were sealed by the spiritual domain, and we couldn't go in, I knew that it was a forbidden place, so naturally I didn't plan to enter, and after dawn, we went down the mountain."
"Later, I never went again, but I heard that Huiling Mountain has been deserted, until the Tang Dynasty, there was a monk who came here to preach the scriptures, and the people here gradually increased, and there were squires who believed in this monk, so they spent money to rebuild the Huiling Temple, and it was passed down from generation to generation."
Listening to Xiahou Rin's detailed description, Hehuan also vaguely remembered that the first time they went up the mountain with Gu Wanwan and them, Gu Wanwan also said that there was a fire in Huiling Temple at that time.
Hehuan gradually felt that countless fragments seemed to appear in his mind, the ghost-faced rakshasa, the disappeared jade plate, the puppet doll, the collapsed pit, the Buddha statue of the Tang Dynasty, the forbidden land of the spiritual realm, the legend of the Huiling Temple in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the reconstruction of the Tang Dynasty again......
She couldn't tell where there was any close connection, she just felt that there seemed to be some threads between those scattered fragments that hadn't surfaced yet, Datang...... Datang is a time node, what happened?
In a trance, a picture flashed in Hehuan's mind, she frowned subconsciously, Xue Chen paid attention to Dao and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Hehuan slowly looked up, and said with a somewhat solemn expression, "I seem to remember a point in time, on that jade plate, there is a row of small characters below Sister Gu's name, and what is written on it should be... In the thirteenth year of Kaiyuan..."
Xue Chen listened to Hehuan's sudden mention, and suddenly remembered this, looked at Xiahou Rin, his expression didn't seem to be very good, listening to Hehuan's words, he kept muttering and repeating, "The thirteenth year of Kaiyuan...... She came again in the thirteenth year of Kaiyuan...... During the Kaiyuan period......"
Hehuan watched Xiahou Rin fall into memories with some entanglement, and she faintly felt that the reason why these things that seemed to be incoherent was because the most important link was hidden in the middle - the past of Xiahou Rin and Gu Wanwan.
