Chapter 36: The Jade Seal of the Country
In the underground secret room, the yellow light is dark and bright, bright and dark, alternating between light and dark, hazy, and people can't see it really.
After the evil qi in the Evil Emperor Relic was eliminated by about one-third, the Gengjin Sword Qi in Ji Ning's palm finally succeeded in entering the crystal ball.
For a moment, the small relic crystal ball seemed to become a world.
Gengjin sword qi supports the heavens and the earth, absorbing the essence of the inner layer of the crystal ball, deriving immeasurable sword qi, and sweeping the outer layer contains the miscellaneous qi of the remnants of the sect masters of the Evil Extreme Sect in the past dynasties.
The sword is a murder weapon, if you want to raise a high-grade flying sword and sword pill, you need a lot of hardware essence and elixir, and you must also baptize it with blood and catalyze it with battle.
Among all kinds of monks, when it comes to the prosperity of the demon calamity, sword cultivation should be the most.
Because of the sword, it is entangled for life, and in the end, it is either the sword that kills the demon calamity, or the demon calamity destroys the sword.
Ji Ning used the mental method of the "White Emperor Gengjin Immortal Sword Codex", and single-mindedly controlled the Gengjin sword qi in the relic crystal ball.
The evil qi in the Evil Emperor Relic fought back frantically, but it was defeated and retreated under the offensive of Gengjin Sword Qi, and the residual thoughts contained in it also became nourishment for the growth of Gengjin Sword Qi.
Some messy information appeared in Ji Ning's mind, although most of them were fragmented, only one scale and half a claw, but they accumulated a lot, and gradually became organized.
"Seed him sixth", "second demon seed", "fourth demon", "fifth demon tribulation", "third demon", "realm of demon transformation", "demon immortal", and when the last wisp of evil qi in the evil emperor's relics was exhausted, another mental method appeared in his mind, which was "the first to enter the Tao".
This is the "Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Dafa" that represents the extreme of the demon path in this realm, although there are only eight incomplete articles, but it is an unexpected joy.
Ji Ning didn't have time to pay attention to it for the time being, his mind was concentrated on the relics crystal ball, using the divine qi to control the qi, condensing the sword with qi, and the sword qi erupted one after another, refining the crystal ball itself.
The core essence of the "White Emperor Gengjin Immortal Sword Codex" is to cultivate the evil spirit of the sword with one's own essence, and control it with the gods, so that the three treasures of people and the sword are one. Refining the innate Gengjin Qi outside, not only is the sword sharp and nothing can be chopped, but he is even stronger than Gengjin is indestructible and indestructible, no matter what hardships and dangers, demons and calamities, all of them are slashed with a sword, and he will live forever.
Ji Ning practiced this technique with the relics crystal ball, and turned it into a sword pill, and when the Gengjin sword qi and the crystal ball outer pill were fused into one in the future, it would be the time when the sword pill was truly completed.
After a while, he put the crystal ball into his sword bag and began to check the Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Dafa.
"The heart of the Tao cultivates demons, the heart of the devil cultivates the Tao, the fire in the water, the water in the fire, the unity of heaven and man, the ...... of the broken void"
After Ji Ning read it, he slapped his hands and admired, it was really weird.
He practiced the two Qi cultivation techniques of Taiyin and Da Ri, and was very interested in the "Taiyin True Water" and "Sun True Fire", which represented the ultimate power of Yin and Yang in this realm.
This is also a big reason why he chose to travel into this world.
"The Evil Emperor Relic has arrived, I don't know what it looks like to have a family bi and longevity?"
Ji Ning imagined in his heart, left Yang Gong's treasure house, and went all the way to Luoyang, the eastern capital of the Great Sui.
…………
Luoyang is located on the south bank of the Yellow River, the north Ping Pi Mountain, the south is Luoshui, the east is Hujiao, the west is Yinghan Valley, surrounded by mountains, the middle is the Luoyang Plain, Yi, Luo, the four rivers flow through it, it is not only the situation is dangerous, but also the scenery is beautiful, the soil is fertile, the climate is moderate, and the transportation is convenient.
Since ancient times, there have been Xia, Shang, Eastern Zhou, Eastern Han, Cao Wei, Western Jin and Northern Wei built their capitals here. The so-called Heyang Dingdingdi, located in the Central Plains and corresponding to the Quartet, Luoyang is the world's traffic stronghold, military fortress.
After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he chose another capital site in Luoyang and established a new capital.
The new imperial city is located between the Zhou Wangcheng and the ancient city of the Han and Wei dynasties, the east is over the Qianshui, the south crosses the Luo River, the west is adjacent to the Jianhe River, and the north is close to the mountain, the city circumference is more than 50 miles, magnificent and magnificent.
Later, Yang Guang took Luoyang as the center, dug out a grand canal that reached Hangzhou in the south, Zhuo County in the north, and ran through the north and south, connecting the five major water systems of Haihe, Yellow River, Huai River, Yangtze River and Qiantang River, and Luoyang became the central hub of transportation and commerce in the world.
In the morning, when the sky was faintly bright, the city gates were opened, and a large number of caravans waiting to enter the city for trading and fishing, and the peasants who were rushing to the morning market entered the city.
Ji Ning followed the flow of people and entered the city from the south gate.
The scale of Luoyang is not better than the general small city, only the south city gate will open three gates, the city gate in the middle is named Jianguo Gate, the left is the White Tiger Gate, the right is the Changxia Gate, the model system is magnificent.
As soon as you enter the city gate, you can see the main street "Heavenly Street" that runs through the north and south gates with a width of 100 steps, and it stretches straight in front of you, and you are afraid that it is not seven or eight miles long.
Cherries, pomegranates, elms, willows and other trees are planted all over the street, and the middle is the royal road for the emperor to go out on patrol.
There are many shops on both sides of the avenue, and between the lanes, each has its own road, and the vertical and horizontal ten streets that run through the major city gates are staggered, and it is orderly.
At this time, the sky is white, and there are more and more people and cars on the street.
Luoyang City seems to wake up, the car car is endless, and it is very lively. Many of the pedestrians were dressed in hufu, apparently from the Western Regions.
Just looking at the prosperity in front of them, no one can feel the continuous world war outside the city, and the lives are devastated.
From time to time, there are a team of guards with bright armor on the royal road, doing morning drills, so that this beautiful imperial city adds a deep and strict momentum.
Ji Ning left the crowded Tianjie, along the Luoshui westward, the river surface is more than ten zhang wide, the huge boats are side by side, the boats are connected by a large cable, and the iron lock is horizontally connected, which becomes a strange scene.
The embankment is planted with locust willows, the trees are green, and the scenery is charming.
The houses stretch to the left and right on the other side of the Luo River, and there is a high bell tower not far away, which is magnificent and towering, and looks at the Luoshui that divides the city in two.
Ji Ning strolls through the alleys and alleys to visit this famous capital of the world that is carefully planned, conforms to the topography and carefully laid out.
No matter where you go, the streets and alleys are neatly squared, like a chessboard. The dwellings, on the other hand, are evenly distributed in the chess grid and are in good order.
A group of children are playing in an open space, and innocent laughter fills the space around them.
"Ugh."
After Ji Ning walked over, he sighed slightly, he would rather be a peace dog than a troubled world.
Now, in August of the 11th year of the Great Cause, Emperor Yang Guang of Sui has already toured the north and wants to suppress the situation in the north.
Next, it will be the siege of Yanmen Pass, where all forces will appear on the stage, and the heroes will compete for it.
Chaos is coming!
…………
The sun sets, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflects the sunset.
Ji Ning left Luoyang City and came to a hillside on the outskirts, looking at the magnificent temple on a hill in the distance to the south.
There are more than hundreds of buildings in the temple here, just like a small city, but all the monks live in it.
"Dang!"
The melodious sound of the bell spreads from the temple on the top of the mountain.
Ji Ning was like entering a no-man's land, and climbed onto the tall building where a giant bell weighing 1,000 catties was placed. After ringing the overnight bell, there was no one upstairs, just in time to overlook the situation near and far.
His gaze swept over the entire temple, and finally settled on a building behind him, which shimmered in the light of the lights, and was much smaller than the others.
This is a bronze hall that is three zhang wide and deep, up to half a zhang, and can survive forever. Not only does it require a lot of gold and bronze, but it also requires a real master craftsman.
Ji Ning sighed in his heart, "What a pure thought Zen temple, what a Hu sect." ”
In his previous life, when he read the book of the Tang Dynasty in his spare time, he always felt that Cihang Jingzhai was extremely domineering, and he even ordered Bai Dao, influenced the world, and chose the Ming Lord, but he didn't think so.
But when I came to this realm and learned more about it, I realized how many temples there are all over the world.
These temples have their own fields, not only directly get incense and connect with believers, but also can also concentrate on martial arts without production.
Therefore, there are a large number of masters to call, extremely well-informed, and extremely rich in materials, as the master concubine of Cihang Jingzhai to find Allah for all peoples, is nothing more than built on this foundation.
Otherwise, no matter how high the martial arts are, it will be difficult to control the martial arts, let alone control the overall situation of the world.
At this time, the sound of chanting in Sanskrit melodiously seemed to come from an unknown distance and spread throughout the temple.
Ji quietly observed the Jingnian Zen Temple, the main buildings in this temple are arranged in order on the central axis facing the temple gate, with the copper hall as the center of the temple, and the scale is complete and uniform.
Except for the copper hall, all buildings are covered with three-color glazed tiles, and the color is as good as new. Among them, the peacock blue in the three colors is the most dazzling, and you can imagine the brilliant scene under the sun.
The bell tower where Ji Ning is located is located between the bronze hall and the other main hall, but the distance between them is very different, the former is far away and the latter is close. There is a vast platform square that reaches 100 zhang in front of the copper hall, is built with white stone, and encloses the white stone carved railing.
In the middle of the white stone square, a bronze statue of Manjushri is enshrined, riding on the back of a golden lion, up to two zhang high, and there are three Buddhas such as Medicine Master, Shakya and Mida next to the shrine. Painted gold ornaments are quite bold, but they also make people feel a little out of line with ordinary temple practices.
At the edge of the white stone platform, in addition to the four stone steps at the entrance, there are 500 arhats evenly distributed, all of them are cast in gold and bronze, all with different expressions and postures, but no matter whether they open their eyes and protrude their foreheads, or hang their eyes and guard inside, they are all lifelike, no different from living people.
The other buildings are arranged in an orderly manner in all directions with the main hall on the axis as a whole, separated by forest roads, and have a solemn and sacred atmosphere.
The sound of chanting came from the main hall that was only ten zhang away from the bronze hall, and there was no half of a figure in the rest of the temple.
The most bizarre thing is that in addition to the lights around the White Stone Square in front of the Bronze Hall and the Buddhist shrine, even the chanting hall is dark, making people realize that if they walk on the White Stone Square, they will become the most obvious target.
Tonight, the bright moon is in the sky, illuminating the glazed tile roof with colorful ripples, and the big trees next to the passage inside and outside the temple cast shadows on the road, adding to the secret and unpredictable atmosphere of the Zen temple.
"Ding! Bite! Bite! ”
The sound of three crisp chimes came from the main hall where the evening class was held, and the chanting suddenly stopped.
The whole Zen monastery is silent, only the sound of insects chirping, gradually filling the space of the mountain and the temple.
Immediately afterwards, one after another, the monks walked out of the main hall behind the bronze hall with their palms together.
The monks lined up in a long snake formation, led by a blue-robed monk with a terrifying body shape who was different from other gray-robed monks, walked straight to Baishi Square.
Except for the blue-robed monk holding a Zen staff weighing more than 100 catties, everyone else has Buddha beads in their hands, their eyes and nose and heart, and the treasure is solemn, but they are not afraid of falling because the field of vision is narrow.
Two hundred and thirty-two monks, old and young, are neatly arranged in more than ten rows in the open space between Manjushri and the bell tower, facing the Bodhisattva Buddha shrine.
Although there were a large number of people, they did not hear the slightest sound, and even the sound of breathing was lacking.
In addition to the tall and burly monk in the blue monk's robe in the lead, there were three other monks wearing blue monk's robes like him, with different shapes and four corners with him. It is easy to guess that they are the four protectors of the Pure Nian Monastery.
Ji Ning looked down and secretly thought that if this group of monks formed a group of monks, they would definitely be able to rampage on the battlefield, as if they were in a no-man's land.
"Babble!"
Two heavy bronze doors that were one foot high opened automatically without wind, revealing the dark space inside. A tall and handsome monk walked out of the bronze hall leisurely and stood on the top of the white stone steps of the hall.
This person has a slender and dashing figure, a straight nose, and a lot of personality. The curved curve of the upper lip and the slightly upturned lower lip give off a certain indescribable charm, embedded in his slender face, which is both very beautiful and leisurely.
The lower collar is broad, and the beautiful face has a kind of transcendent and secular brilliance, and the demeanor is neither weak, nor is it domineering, but teaches people to look comfortable and natural.
The most memorable thing at first sight is his pair of deep and unfathomable eyes, which can make anyone born with an unfathomable depth and a heart that dare not be underestimated.
"Amitabha."
All the monks proclaimed the Buddha's name, and under the leadership of the four great King Kongs, they saluted.
Ji Ning's mind was like electricity, and he suddenly crossed the space, and the situation in the bronze hall suddenly became clear to him.
He "saw" a pure white and flawless, shining jade seal, which was safely placed on a copper table without any quarrel with the world.
The seal is engraved with the pattern of five dragons intertwined, and the craftsmanship is ingenious, but there is a corner missing next to it, and the gold is supplemented.
Ji Ning's heart swelled with a mysterious and mysterious sense of calm, as if the jade seal in the bronze hall contained a certain secret and unfathomable truth in the universe, which made him suddenly want to seek.
"He's Bi is really here, it seems that my trip was not in vain. What lent Ning Daoqi to participate in enlightenment for three years is just a propaganda means to build momentum. Hey, the ads are all lies. ”
Ji Ning went to Jingnian Zen Monastery this time to find the whereabouts of He Shibi. Now that the target has been discovered, it is naturally impossible to give up.
At this moment, a Dharma Protector Vajra below chanted, and all the monks turned around in unison, facing the bell tower that was ten feet high, and gave salutes.
"Buddhism is quiet, only fate!"
As soon as this sentence was finished, all the monks recited together, the wooden fish bell chime, and a certain prescribed rhythm rose and fell in the chanting sound, and even the night sky seemed to be stained with a peaceful atmosphere, and it was extraordinarily secluded and far away.
