Both the big-nosed monk and the crooked-mouthed monk grinned and smiled at the wind.

Yifeng stepped forward and said happily: "Long time no see, are you okay with the two senior brothers?"

The crooked-mouthed monk smiled: "It's been some time since we were separated in the secret realm that time. Especially this year, a lot of things have happened in both Nanzong Temple and Dawu Kingdom, and it feels like a long time has passed, but we are all okay. ”

Yifeng said: "Why are you two here, haven't you entered the secret realm?"

The big-nosed monk said, "Last time we were in the secret realm, because we didn't do our job well, Senior Brother Benyuan was very angry later, and punished us to come here to serve the elders guarding the secret realm.

"Originally, we thought that this place was deserted and we might have to stay here for a lifetime, but we didn't expect that this place would become the last retreat of Nanzong Temple. ”

At this time, the Xuanying Leopard said in a whisper:

"Don't talk nonsense, you two can use it now. But I can tell you, although the mountain protection circle is powerful, it will definitely not be able to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of people. Especially at the eye of the formation, the impact received is the greatest, I think you two are mediocre in cultivation, but you have to think about it. ”

The crooked-mouthed monk grinned and said, "Don't worry, senior leopard, now I don't know how many senior brothers have died in Nanzong Temple." We're useless, but it's worth it if we can buy a little time for them to retreat. ”

After speaking, he and the big-nosed monk looked at each other and smiled.

Yifeng stretched out his hands and patted them on the shoulder, and both of them also reached out to pat Yifeng to express comfort, looking at each other speechlessly, they both knew in their hearts that this side was probably goodbye.

"Yifeng, it will take some time to teleport here. Shadow Leopard said, staring at the three of them.

Yifeng was silent for a while, and said, "I know, before you finish teleporting, I'll try to hold off the Yulin Army as much as possible." Senior Leopard, please remember that if the Yulin Army breaks through the mountain protection array, please be sure to destroy the teleportation circle when you enter the secret realm, only in this way can you keep the secret realm complete. ”

"Got it. Xuanying Leopard said a little impatiently, "I knew about this plan long after you discussed it with the abbot, in case they broke through the mountain protection array, I would destroy the teleportation entrance even if I died." ”

······

Yifeng walked on the road of the Red Luo Tiangang Array surrounded by the narrow Buddha Fire Maple next to the Abbot's Courtyard, he keenly noticed that there was something wrong with these Buddha Fire Maples, and looked up.

I saw that on the largest Buddha fire maple with lush branches and leaves, there was a figure hidden in it, and I couldn't detect it at first glance, but if I looked closely, I knew that it was the Golden Cloud Beast on it.

Because both are fiery red colors, they can't be seen clearly for a while.

Yifeng raised his head and shouted to the Golden Cloud Beast: "Xiaoyun, you must defend this place well, it is best to repel them, otherwise, you must do your best to reduce their combat power." ”

The golden cloud beast roared above, shaking the Buddha fire maple rattling, just like the fiery red clouds in the sky being swept by the wind, and between the branches and leaves of the Buddha fire maple, the intertwined red light was much brighter.

Yifeng looked at it for a while, then walked to the Zen forest behind, and just walked out of the road formed by the Buddha Fire Maple, he saw a familiar figure blocking in front of him, Lingyun Beast!

Its jet-blue fur was shiny and shiny, and the dark golden veins on it lingered on its back, and three huge golden eyes stared at the wind.

Yifeng smiled and said: "Xiao Ling, I haven't seen you for a long time, today you also know that Nanzong Temple is going to be calamitized, so you came out to see me?"

"I don't know how many years I've been guarding the Scripture Pavilion here, if someone comes to attack, they will be made to come and go!" Lingyun Beast's voice was low and deep.

It actually spoke, which surprised Yifeng.

But if you think about it carefully, it and the Golden Cloud Beast are both third-realm divine beasts, and they can already cultivate into human form, but the divine beast has an arrogance on its body, and it seems to look down on human beings very much, whether it is talking or transforming into a human form, it is extremely reluctant.

Yifeng nodded and said, "Uncle Abbot explained to me before, saying that the Zen Leaf Lock Autumn Formation is an extremely powerful formation second only to the Mountain Protection Array. The Yulin Army is not good, they must have inquired about the inside story, you must be careful. ”

At this time, an extremely tall golden Zen tree next to it waved its huge branches, whirring, and a face appeared on the trunk, extremely old, and said:

"Don't worry, I seem to know that my limit is approaching, and I explained it some time ago, Lingyun Mountain is where we take root, and one day with me, I won't let anyone dare to invade. ”

Yifeng thought in his heart that when the abbot master had cultivated to a certain level, he was afraid that he would be able to perceive the Buddha's oracle, and the fixed number of his fate would also be more clear.

That's why when he took him to the forbidden land that day, the abbot master would inadvertently reveal these mechanisms to him, so that he could remember them in case of accidents.

The abbot has been practicing for decades, and the most unbearable thing is Nanzong Temple.

Yifeng nodded to the Spirit Cloud Beast and the Golden Zen Tree, and then went deep into the Zen forest and walked towards the Hidden Scripture Pavilion.

Standing under the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the towering 28-story tower body, the solemn crimson tower body, the eaves hook the corners. The Buddhist gate is beautifully decorated with a solemn ornamentation, and the huge copper wind chimes on the top floor "dong dong" vibrate in the wind.

The Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is like a huge King Kong Buddha who encompasses the concept of heaven and earth Buddhism, holding wind chimes in his hand, swaying in the wind, as if summoning spirits and paying tribute.

"Reluctantly, right?" the elder on duty heard that the monk came over and said to Yifeng.

Yifeng raised his head and nodded slightly, and said, "Uncle Shi, have all the people in the Scripture Pavilion been evacuated?"

Elder Wen said, "Before you came, you had already withdrawn to the Stele Forest Peak, and you were hurrying to teleport into the secret realm. ”

"How many Buddhist scriptures are there in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion?" Yifeng raised his head and asked Elder Wen.

"In the past few days, I have only moved more than 200,000 volumes, and there are still 8.9 million volumes in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and the exercises and supernatural powers have not been moved at all, and there are about two or three hundred thousand volumes. ”

Elder Wen said with a melancholy expression: "I have achieved a little success from cultivation, so I was sent here by my master to guard the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and it has been like a day for decades, but I didn't expect to leave when I am old." What's even more sad and uncomfortable is that the things I have guarded all my life have not expected to be destroyed one day. ”

"I'll do my best to protect them. ”

Yifeng raised his head, as if he was answering Elder Wen, and as if he was answering Cangtian: "If you are lucky enough, you may be able to repel the Yulin Army, and the Hidden Scripture Pavilion can be preserved." Even if they want to make a comeback, there may be a turnaround. Even if there is little hope, it is better than no hope. ”

Elder Liwen: "I heard that a few days ago, the monks of Beizong Temple abandoned all the Buddhist scriptures because of the Golden Dragon Order, and fled to the north with only gold, silver, money and silk and the most important exercises and supernatural powers.

"The Golden Dragon Order clearly ordered that all Buddhist scriptures should be destroyed, I am afraid that the Beizong Temple has been burned to ashes at this time, but it is a pity that those Buddhist scriptures are gone.

"Therefore, Nanzong Temple may be the last stronghold of Buddhist and Taoist classics, but I didn't expect that now it will end up with Beizong Temple. ”

Yifeng turned his head to look at Elder Wen and said, "Master Hong said before his death that Buddhist scriptures are the foundation of a religion, but the people who read Buddhist scriptures are also the embodiment of our Buddhist teachings.

"We have preserved 200,000 volumes of Buddhist scriptures, and we have thousands of disciples, and we are already doing our best to preserve the Buddhist path.

"Uncle Wen, you have guarded the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion for dozens of years, you must have read many Buddhist scriptures, you are also the embodiment of Buddhism's morality, now you have to take care of yourself, is to contribute to Buddhism. ”

Elder Wen nodded silently, sighed, and said, "Yifeng, you also have to protect yourself, it's best to be able to guard the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, if you can't keep it, don't force it." ”

As he spoke, he walked towards the Stele Forest Peak with the last remaining elders, and at this time, the wind chimes on the Scripture Pavilion rang more eagerly······

Yifeng finally came to the spiritual peak, and looked at thousands of empty courtyards along the way, a lonely and desolate place, with fallen leaves and withered grass.

He remembered that at the beginning of the year, the prayer lamps were bustling, the flow of people was shuttling, the courtyards were full of flowers, and the temple was solemn, like a Buddha country in the sky.

However, at this time it was gray and desolate, and there was not even the sound of birds, only the rustling of fallen leaves on the ground by the wind.

watched all the way and walked to the courtyard.

Standing under the three-word plaque, Yifeng is full of emotion, the countless happy times here, the laughter and sorrow of those days, may be turned into smoke today.

The entire Nanzong Temple is about to collapse like a withering and decaying temple······

Yifeng reluctantly glanced at it, but did not go in, turned around, and walked down the mountain.

All the attachment in his heart has been settled here, and counting the time, the Yulin Army is finally coming······
