Chapter XXXVIII
"You say you have your own purpose, you have your needs, that's why you follow the old religion, right?"
"That's right."
"Then ......" I hesitated, looked at the old monk with frowning brows, and asked He Xigong: "What do you want to take, what is it exactly?" ”
"Print."
He Xigong said, and raised his hand to gesture with us a few times: "It's about the size of an egg, maybe bigger, maybe smaller, it's not sure, that thing looks like it's made of red copper, it's a metal seal." ”
"Seals?" The old monk was stunned: "What seal?" ”
"It is very similar to the Dharma seals of Buddhism and Taoism, and they are all artifacts that carry the power of religion." He Xigong replied.
French seals?
I don't know much about the Dharma seal of Buddhism, but the ....... of Taoism
I remember the old man said that the Taoist Dharma seals, which are mostly boxy and have charms or greetings engraved at the bottom, are one of the most important Taoist Dharma weapons.
Exorcising evil spirits and suppressing ghosts, ferrying people, and raising altars to worship are all indispensable in these activities.
But the seal He Xigong said at this time is obviously not the Dharma seal of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, so what is he referring to...... The Seal of the Old Religion??
Or are those seals that are connected to the creatures of the past??
"I don't have what you want here." The old monk said.
Hearing this, He Xigong couldn't help laughing and said, Yes, it's just that you don't know where you are.
"I know that you have a passage here, which is the qi vein left by the predecessors when the Supo Temple was built." He Xigong smiled maliciously, although his tone was quite sincere, but I always felt that he wanted to do bad things.
As soon as he heard the word "Qi Pulse", the old monk suddenly trembled, staring at He Xigong with some nervousness, and there was obvious hostility in his eyes.
"What do you want to do?"
"The two ends of that qi vein, one end should be connected to this seated statue of Shakyamuni, and the other end should go straight to the ground, which is the ....... that suppresses monsters."
"You want to go into the cave?!" The old monk's eyes widened, and he looked at He Xigong as if he wanted to eat people: "This is absolutely not good!" No matter who that place is! I can't even set foot on it myself!! ”
"Caves?" I asked with some curiosity, "Is that place used to suppress monsters?" That's where that monster is, right? ”
The old monk didn't answer me, but He Xigong nodded and said that the monster was there.
"The sacrificial veins excavated in our sect are at least two hundred meters away from the qi veins of Supo Temple, and it is not like the qi veins of Supo Temple that can go straight to the cave, they built it in advance, so they can go down, no matter how many means we use in later generations, we can't break through the stone wall underground."
He Xigong sighed, as if he was sighing.
"That old creature seems to have a sense of self-preservation, and if it casually emits some qi, it can wrap the surrounding rocks and stabilize them thoroughly, and it is not easy to use any tools, it is harder than steel!"
"The seal you're talking about is in the cave?" As I spoke, my expression became a little complicated.
This old dog really didn't have a good heart, looking for Fayin to find the cave in the cave? That place is the suppression of the creatures of the past, and if there is an accident, even the slightest accident, whoever helps him go down to find the Dharma Seal will die.
It's almost impossible to hide from that monster, and you're still arrogant under people's noses? Is this a joke?
For example, the monster slept well, and the speed of awakening was neither fast nor slow, and it could be controlled temporarily, but we went down and happened to wake up that thing, so how much of our sin was?
"Don't worry, I'll show you the way to find the seal, but I can't do it alone, so I have to follow you." He Xigong said helplessly: "If I don't help stabilize that monster, when you take the law seal, it will kill you, and everyone must divide and cooperate." ”
The old monk didn't squeak, and looked at me quietly, which seemed to mean that I had an idea.
I looked at He Xigong without saying a word, thought for another two seconds, and said.
"I still can't believe you."
"Why?" He Xigong was stunned: "I have put on such a big sincerity, you still don't believe me?" ”
I laughed and said, "Don't you mind if it's ugly." ”
"You say." He Xigong nodded.
"Judging from what you said, you are a two-five boy, belonging to the kind of master who is in Cao Ying's heart in Han, and kills the Buddha of Huanxi...... I feel that you are a bit two-faced, there are too many dark tricks, and you can't prevent it. I sighed: "What's more, we don't know you, and you want us to go down to the cave just a few words, isn't it inappropriate?" ”
He Xigong sighed and said, That's right.
"If I were you, I wouldn't believe it." He Xigong said helplessly: "Then I can't prove it, just do it, I'll go first, you guys slowly follow that monster, I will remember to burn paper for you today next year." ”
"You fucking ......." I couldn't help but curse, looking at He Xigong's indifferent face, my teeth were about to crush.
"I let you and your grandfather go at the beginning, just because I didn't want to be on the bar with the Shen family, my purpose is very simple, and I have no conflict of interest with you, so I can have fewer enemies, but now that I think about it, ......" He Xigong sighed and didn't say anything more.
"Don't ask me for credit, whether what you said is true or false, I still have to think about it!"
"Time is running out." He Xigong said, raised his hand, and pointed to the ceiling of Suo Po Temple: "It's about to collapse here, why don't you also come with me and go outside to hide?" ”
To be honest, what He Xigong wants to do, what he is thinking in his head, is really hard to guess.
This person is friend or foe and does not say, how many of his ten sentences are true, and this is the focus of my thinking.
"What good is it for you that this monster continues to sleep?" The old monk asked coldly.
"Balance." He Xigong didn't hide his thoughts, and said to us very calmly: "What I need is balance, I can't let the old sect dominate, and I can't let you overpower the old sect, I have to find opportunities in the cracks, so this monster can't wake up, if you wake up, I will have a lot of trouble." ”
"Then you'll let it go back to sleep!" I was busy persuading.
"Nope." He Xigong spread his hands: "I don't do loss-making business, it's a big deal, and no one wants to settle down." ”
"There's nothing in the cave but monsters." The old monk frowned, and looked at He Xigong with inquiring eyes: "I went down once, so I know what it's like there, and no one else has gone down since, where did the Fayin come from?" ”
"The creature made it himself." He Xigong laughed: "Whether it is the power of religion or the power of living beings, they need a carrier, and some of these carriers are living things and some are dead things......."
"How do you know it's done?" The old monk asked again.
"Don't forget, our old religion is not an ordinary religious sect, we have our own way of communicating with the creatures of the old days." He Xigong said, and pointed to his head again: "The law seal is in the cave, you don't have to doubt this." ”
"What if you lie to us?" I shook my head: "Let's go down with you and run into the cave, and you turn against the water and let that monster kill us." ”
"So be it."
He Xigong thought for a while and said: "I don't bring anything down, the two of you, only one of you needs to follow me, and the other guards the entrance of the cave, if I make a mistake below, the person who stays at the entrance of the cave can directly cut off the qi veins, even if the monster will wake up because of this, I will die 100% in the collapse of the qi veins." ”
"Qi veins collapsed?" I was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”
"It's like a bomb." He Xigong said metaphorically: "If the people who stay at the entrance of the cave light a fire, they will explode below, do you understand what this means?" ”
I didn't squeak, I glanced back at the old monk, and he nodded, meaning, there is such a thing.
"Time is running out, and you know that there are only two choices now, either Bo once and take the risk to believe me, or just break up ......"
"I'll go down with you."
Hearing my cold words, the old monk and He Xigong were stunned for a moment, as if they didn't expect that I would take the initiative to ask to go down to the cave.
"I'm not familiar with the qi vein, so let's guard it from the old-timers." I smiled: "If I have an accident, don't hesitate, just cut off the qi veins and kill this old thing." ”
"You believe him?" The old monk looked at me hesitantly.
"I don't believe him, but I feel that he is desperate for his life, as long as he is afraid of death, we can give it a fight and believe him once." I sighed, looked at He Xigong helplessly, and said, "What's more, we don't have any other choice, do we?" ”
