Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Beast
Wen Liang, the son of the village chief, drove me and Master Ci'an all the way to O Town. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info This Ci'an monk doesn't like to speak, and closes his eyes to the side to recuperate. And Wen Liang didn't dare to talk nonsense because he was a little scared of the little fox. So the atmosphere in the car was a bit quiet along the way, and there was no sound other than the roar of the engine.
"Master Wen Shi is in trouble with so many charms hanging in the car?" On the way from O Town to the village, the monk Ci'an, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, suddenly asked.
"If I meet him, I'm afraid the master won't be able to see me......" Wen Liang smiled bitterly, and immediately told me what he had told me before.
"In this way, there must be a demon doing evil, but please don't panic, my senior brother, Master Cijing, has already gone to catch this demon. To be on the safe side, the poor monk now blesses you with a Buddha power for these charms. Monk Ci'an said with a look of compassion.
After speaking, the monk Ci'an recited the mantra, and a Buddha power was suddenly blessed into several charms hanging in the car.
The little fox in my arms seemed to be very uninterested in this Ci'an monk, and when the Ci'an monk blessed the Buddha power with the charm, he directly shook him a few big eyes, and showed a look of disdain.
It's not just the little fox, in fact, I'm not very interested in this kind of monk with a compassionate face, because there are generally two kinds of such people, one is a charlatan, and the other is a person who really has great power. However, I am a charlatan, so I can't help but have this kind of bad mood towards Monk Ci'an.
"Thank you, Master!"
Wen Liang was naturally overjoyed when he heard this, because it meant that he would have another barrier when he ran at night in the future.
About half an hour later, we returned to the entrance of the village. After getting out of the car, I took Monk Ci'an directly to the ancient tomb, although it was said that the thing that was sealed could not come out for the time being, but it was better to repair the formation as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night. If there is any more chaos at that time, everyone will suffer with it.
"Master Wen, Song Daoyou and I can't be disturbed when we repair the formation, and I hope you will stay at this entrance, if we don't make a sound, no one will come in." The Ci'an monk bowed to Wen Liang and said.
"Master, don't worry, I've got it here!" Wen Liang patted his chest and said. After all, just now this Ci'an monk blessed his charm with Buddha power, so Wen Liang was particularly attentive.
"Then there's Lord Lawen!" Ci'an bowed slightly and smiled.
The little fox glanced at Monk Ci'an, and that look seemed to say, "Pretend, pretend!" I coughed lightly noncommittally, and then said to Monk Ci'an: "Master is serious, I don't know anything about your sect's formation, this time I'm afraid I have to ask the master to take action." If the master has any orders, I will do my best to cooperate. ā
"Well said, well said." Monk Ci'an nodded, and then took the lead into the ancient tomb.
If this Ci'an is so willing to come forward, why don't I do it? Not to mention that I really don't understand their Buddhist formation seals, even if I do, I pretend not to understand, after all, this repair formation is a drudgery that consumes cultivation and soul power extremely much. Such a difficult and glorious task is naturally better handled by a compassionate monk Ci'an!
I then followed Monk Ci'an into the ancient tomb, and then walked quickly to the side of the tomb.
When Monk Ci'an saw the golden coffin that was pushed under the stone platform, his eyes did not stay on it too much, but directly shifted his gaze to the Buddhist scriptures on the stone platform.
However, as he watched more and more engaged, the expression on his face became more and more solemn, and when he finished reading it, Monk Ci'an's brows were furrowed.
"What difficulties has the master encountered?" Seeing that Monk Ci'an frowned, I stepped forward and asked.
"Although the words on this stone platform are in Sanskrit like the words on paper, they are not Buddhist scriptures, but they record something about the seal of the underground." Monk Ci'an still frowned and said.
"And what kind of thing is sealed underground?" Monk Ci'an's words piqued my curiosity. Even the little fox, who had never been very cold to Ci'an, looked at him with great enthusiasm, as if he wanted to know what was sealed underground.
"The text on the stone platform says that more than a thousand years ago, the seventy-two lands were in trouble with the world, in fact, there were many powerful beasts as their accomplices, and later the cultivators of the world united with the mortal immortals to pay an extremely painful price before the seventy-two earths were sealed in various parts of the land of Shenzhou. There were many fierce beasts that were killed in this battle, but there were still a few fierce beasts that were too powerful to kill them at that time, so they had to find a way to seal them. Monk Ci'an looked at the words on the stone platform and said to me word by word.
"Could it be that this is one of the beasts sealed underneath the ground?"
"Yes, the one sealed in this underground is the evil phoenix!" Monk Ci'an changed color and said, this is the first time I have felt his mood swings since I met him.
"Evil Phoenix!" I exclaimed.
The phoenix can be said to be familiar in Huaxia and occupies a strong and colorful stroke in the traditional culture of China. Not only because the phoenix is beautiful in appearance, but more importantly, it is the king of birds, with strong strength, able to exorcise demons and ward off evil spirits, and can bring auspiciousness to the world. It is rumored that there is no way for the phoenix to be killed, because the dying phoenix can be reborn. And once the phoenix has passed through Nirvana, it can be reborn into Suzaku in the fire!
But all things are opposites, there is good and there is evil, and there is light and there is darkness. There is a vein in the phoenix clan, they do not bring auspiciousness to people as in myths and legends, but they are murderous, and they will bring disasters wherever they go, and this vein is called the evil phoenix.
Originally, creatures like the phoenix in this heaven and earth were extremely rare, and the evil phoenix in the phoenix was even rarer. Therefore, they rarely show up, so the world knows about the auspicious phoenix, but they don't know that there is also the evil evil phoenix. The reason why I know is naturally because of the records in the Taoist scriptures.
From that point of view, the monk from decades ago probably fought a big battle with the evil phoenix that broke through the seal. Although this evil phoenix has been sealed for thousands of years, this broken ship is still nailed. Although this monk cultivated to a high level and re-sealed the evil phoenix, he was still injured by the evil phoenix, and after hastily explaining to the villagers, he couldn't hold on, and was burned to ashes by the evil fire of the evil phoenix.
"Yes, due to the length of the seal, and the impact of the construction of this tomb on the surrounding pattern, the seal has been loosened. Just when the evil phoenix in the underground was about to take the opportunity to break through the seal, it happened that the senior who wrote the text and a Taoist senior found the clue through this place.
These two seniors practiced to strengthen the seal, and also used the corpses in the tomb to condense the yin qi around it, and channeled the yin qi into the seal underground, which was used to weaken the strength of the evil phoenix to prevent it from breaking through the seal.
It's just that this evil phoenix is not willing to be caught, and finally breaks the cauldron and sinks the boat. That senior of the Taoist family was engulfed by the flames of the evil phoenix on the spot, which also bought precious time for this senior, and finally completed the seal.
Unfortunately, this senior was also injured by the flames of the evil phoenix, and he felt that he was about to die. So he took action to seal the corpse that had been transformed, recorded the incident and explained it to the villagers. In the end, he should have been devoured by the flames of the evil phoenix, and he was wiped out from then on. ā
After finishing speaking, Monk Ci'an folded his hands, and he reverently recited the Buddha's name, which can be regarded as a remembrance of these two predecessors. I am also embarrassed, the feelings of these two seniors are really admirable.
"Although it is said that the little monk of the Demon Formation laid by this senior will also do it, but this matter is very important, and it involves the formations of the Taoist and Buddhist families, and the little monk's cultivation is still shallow, so he is ready to let the abbot deal with it personally, what does Song Daoyou think?" Ci'an looked at me and said.
"It couldn't be better." I said with a smile.
The abbot of this Pure Land Temple cultivated the Tao when he was young, and then switched to Buddhism halfway, so the formation of this Tao and the Buddha should not be difficult for him, and with him to make a move, I naturally have nothing to worry about.
