Chapter Twenty-Four: Killing Spirits and Killing Buddhas
It's only been a few days since I took office, and there aren't many things to do, because many people in charge are worried that I won't be able to keep busy for the time being, so some things will be handled by myself. Taking advantage of her free time, Dongfang Xue decided to take me to study Buddhism, which happened to go to the Qingshui Temple where her master was located. I brought Luo Qiaoqiao with me by the way, because Luo Qiaoqiao just wanted a weapon of his own.
Killing spirits and killing Buddhas is in the Qingshui Temple.
Shenzhen is not far from Guangzhou. We chose to go by car. There was no road on the hill where the Kiyomizu Temple was located, so we had to park at the pass and walk all the way up.
This is a very remote mountain, I asked what the name was, Dongfang Xue said that there is no name, but the monks like to call it Qingshui Mountain. I have to say that this place is really remote, and there are only two or three cars at the foot of the mountain. It is estimated that it is used by people in the same way.
As I walked on the mountain road, I couldn't help but take a deep breath and feel very comfortable, the air here was very fresh. Jiang Ying also looked around with interest, and he said softly: "Jiang Cheng, this place is like your small mountain village after all, right?" ”
I nodded and said, "It's about the same, but we have a village there, and everyone lives in the middle of the mountainside, quiet but a little lively, lively but not making people feel anxious, in a just right location." ”
Dongfang Xue couldn't help but smile and said: "This is just a step forward, and you have already begun to miss the life in the mountains?" ”
I laughed. When we reached the halfway point of the mountain, we saw a small temple, Dongfang Xue said that it was the Qingshui Temple.
Entering the Qingshui Temple, the first thing that catches your eye is a huge Buddha sculpture, made of marble. The Buddha statue stands in the center of the hall of the Qingshui Temple, and there are many small Buddha statues around, and those small Buddha statues have various appearances, some hold swords, some hold swords, but these weapons are all real.
"Amitabha Buddha ......"
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the room, we turned our heads to look, only to see a monk walking towards us, he smiled and said, "A few people come to my Qingshui Temple, what are you doing?" ”
Dongfang Xue said softly: "New here? I'm Dongfang Xue. ”
When the monk heard this, his face immediately changed greatly. He respectfully saluted Dongfang Xue and said sincerely: "I have seen Dongfang Master." ”
Dongfang Xue nodded calmly: "Call the abbot out, there are guests arriving." ”
"Yes......"
The monk hurriedly entered the temple, and after a while, an old monk came out, he was wearing the abbot's robe, and walked towards us with a smile on his face: "Little Buddha head, why do you have time to come to my small temple today?" ”
Dongfang Xue said with a smile: "Uncle Shi really likes to laugh, if you are a small temple, then I don't know how many temples in the world will be shameless to face the world." I brought a friend here this time, and let me introduce you, this is Luo Qiaoqiao, and this is the person in charge of Buddhism in Shenzhen, Mr. Jiang Cheng. ”
I nodded slightly at the old monk, who also smiled and said softly, "The old man is resting." ”
Rest ......
I almost couldn't hold back my laughter when I heard the name, but I still held back. And Dongfang Xue secretly poked my waist and signaled me to maintain my demeanor, and then she said softly: "Uncle Shi, we came here this time to let Luo Qiao meet the killing of spirits and the killing of Buddhas. ”
"Okay, please come with me. However, there are also people watching the Buddha at present, so I'm afraid it will take a while. Ikyu said.
Oh?
I remembered the regimental car at the foot of the mountain. I can't imagine that there are still people who come to see the Buddha. At this time, Ikyu led us into the temple, only to see that there were two Buddha statues in the temple, both holding swords, and in front of the sword. A few people were watching, with their backs facing us. When we came in, they subconsciously looked back, and when they looked at each other, I was dumbfounded.
This...... Isn't this Dongfang Qingyun?
Dongfang Qingyun was also obviously stunned when he saw me, and the people around him were all looking at him curiously. And Dongfang Qingyun walked quickly in front of me, he stretched out his hand to me, and said softly, "Hello." ”
I also reached out and shook it and said, "Hello." ”
"Ah Tian's matter ......" Dongfang Qingyun opened his mouth, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "I'm sorry." I'm sorry. ”
I shook my head and said softly, "You don't need to be like this, even if you don't do it at that time, Ah Tian will be killed by others." I know. You are also the one who is extremely miserable, you are all miserable, and you don't need anyone to target anyone. So what are you here for today? ”
Dongfang Qingyun explained: "I have heard that there are two of the three demon knives of Buddhism in this place, and it just so happens that I am on vacation these days, so I came to take a look." I heard that people who are destined can take the knife away without looking at the identity and status of the other party. As long as there is fate, you can take it away. ”
Dongfang Xue nodded and said, "That's the case, then how are you now?" ”
"Haven't tried yet." Dongfang Qingyun explained.
I inevitably felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, in fact, I didn't want such a precious knife to be taken away by Dongfang Qingyun. Although I sympathize with today's Dongfang Qingyun. But to put it bluntly, we are enemies at the moment.
We walked up to the Buddha statue, and I looked at the two magic knives curiously. One of them was purple throughout, but the blade was purple to the point of pitch black, but in the light of the light, it could still be seen that it was purple. This knife is a little longer than a normal knife, and the tip of the knife has a curved hook, which looks extremely hideous. And its hilt is engraved with the words Amitabha. It seems to be made of bronze, and it is very quaint.
Dongfang Xue introduced: "This is the killing of the spirit, the legend is that if the person who is not capable enough gets the killing spirit, he will be attacked by the knife, and he can't help but find someone to sacrifice the knife." If you want to try to take away the killing spirit, you have to hold the hilt of the knife for a minute, and if you can hold it out, then you can count it as the owner of the killing spirit. But if you can't make it, don't try to take it with you. ”
I nodded, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the blade of the killing ghost. The blade was very cold, and as soon as I touched it, I felt a chill rushing into my body.
"Pretty good stuff."
I muttered, then looked at the other knife. Compared to killing spirits, that knife is much simpler. This knife is no different from other knives, this is on the blade, engraved with a Buddha character. Master Yixiu smiled at this time: "Don't look at this knife is simple. It is the famous Buddha Slashing and the head of the Three Demon Swords. Legend has it that the original appearance of the Buddha is not like this, and only after recognizing the Lord can he show another appearance of himself. ”
"Oh?" I wondered. "Then how shall we confess the Lord?"
"Killing the Buddha does not require any formalities of recognizing the Lord, and it is rumored that there is an evil ghost in it, and that evil spirit will only surrender to those who make it worthy of following. It reacts when its perceived owner approaches it. At the beginning, the monk Amand walked the world with the Three Demon Blades, but it was only because he was controlled by the killing spirit, not by the Buddha who killed him. It disdains to control its master, and in fact, as far as I know, the Amand monk has never been able to make the Buddha recognize his master in his life. ”
I gasped. It seems that this Buddha is really not ordinary. At this time, I patted Luo Qiaoqiao's hand and said with a smile: "You are also a person with a certain state of mind, it is better to try if you can make the soul killer or the Buddha recognize the master." ”
Luo Qiaoqiao nodded, she walked to the killing spirit with a solemn face, and then stretched out her hand and held the hilt of the killing spirit. And at that moment, I saw her trembling all over, and she closed her eyes, as if she was holding back something.
Everyone looked at Luo Qiaoqiao a little nervously, only to see that she was trembling more and more, and there were beads of sweat on her forehead. Suddenly, Luo Qiaoqiao opened her eyes and let go of the handle of the knife, she looked at me in horror, and then gritted her teeth, trying to wake up.
"What's going on...... I wondered, "what do you see?" ”
She took a deep breath, then shook her head and said, "I don't want to say it." ”
I immediately understood, it seems that what Luo Qiaoqiao saw was related to me, probably remembering our previous grievances and hatreds. She patted her face, then gritted her teeth and said, "I'll try again." ”
I was worried, "Do you want to try?" ”
She hummed, then walked up to the slayer again, reached out her hand, and gripped the hilt tightly.
In an instant, Luo Qiaoqiao gritted her teeth and closed her eyes, she couldn't hold back the trembling, and suddenly, Dongfang Qingyun stretched out his hand and put it on Luo Qiaoqiao's shoulder, and he muttered, "Give it to me...... Break! ”
Suddenly, Luo Qiaoqiao's whole person calmed down, with a serene expression on his face, and he tightly grasped the killing spirit......
