Chapter 312: The Secret of the Crazy Bone
"Do you know Crazy Bones?" Uncle Li didn't answer, but put down the teacup, raised his eyes to look at Master Canaan, and asked word by word.
"How did you mention that name?" Master Canaan was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes suddenly sharpened when he looked at Uncle Li.
"The crazy bone is the legend of the evil that is transformed from the dry bones in the well, often luring the world to throw themselves into the well and die, the soul is sucked into the crazy bones, and over time, the crazy bones have become an evil demon that can freely change human form, and the power is comparable to that of a drought," Li Shu'er did not directly answer Master Na Canaan's question, but like telling a story, a person talked to himself there, and then looked at Master Na Canaan with blank eyes and sighed: "I used to think that the crazy bone was just made up by the master to scare us, but a few days ago, I really saw it and realized that the master was not lying ......"
"You've seen the Crazy Bones, what's going on?" Master Canaan looked straight at Uncle Li's eyes, and was really shocked by Uncle Li's words.
"Yes, I clearly saw the crazy bone, it is only less than a step away from me......" Uncle Li spit out a mouthful of turbidity in his heart, and told Master Canaan about the day with Yang Yi and Wei Ergou who visited the courtyard behind the mansion at night, and encountered the snake demon and the ancient well inside.
"You think the stone man that came out of the ancient well is a crazy bone, right?" Master Canaan poured tea into Uncle Li'er's teacup and asked in a low voice.
"That well is extremely evil, even with a cultivation like mine, I will feel the horror that is difficult to contain, God knows what dirty things are hidden in that well?" Uncle Li looked at the swirling tea on the cup noodles, and said in a hoarse voice: "The mad bone has a cold temperament, which is very easy to be used by those left-handed warlocks to become a fierce beast to protect some kind of vital place, although I saw the mad bone in that strange ancient well, but if it is only a mad bone, I am afraid it will not exude such a murderous aura, and it also needs to be sealed by a talisman that I have never seen, so I suspect that the mad bone is just hiding people's eyes and ears, in that well, There's even more terrible dirt to do......"
Before Uncle Li's words fell, Master Na Canaan's hand shook, and the tea in the teacup he picked up spilled on the table, and hissed: "Brother Dao doesn't have to go around anymore, the old monk saw the Seven Killing Star fall into the Taiping Army camp outside the city last night, this star is not a hit like to use God, hidden risks, such as hugging a tiger and sleeping, is the head of the seven murderous stars, the thief of the main troubled times, the plan is in the heart, there is a heroic talent, there is no wind of a king, it must be that the long-haired chaotic party is going to kill, right?!" ”
"If that's the case, Poor Dao wouldn't be so worried, what Poor Dao is worried about is that there is still a sneak ten times more fierce than the Taiping Army in Cangzhou City, I don't know what I want, hehe" Uncle Li glanced at Master Canaan, who has always been kind to people, and smiled helplessly: "Your great monk's strength is that his heart is too good, and his shortcomings are also too good-hearted, I always think that the people, ghosts, and gods of the Three Realms, regardless of good or evil, will eventually defeat evil thoughts and achieve consummation, but I don't know that the wicked man and the evil ghost are inextricably inclined, and they will only get worse, You Buddhists can only blindly persuade people to be good, and accept it, the world is as docile as sheep, but those evil demons are becoming more and more proud, and we want to go to the Taoist family to be evildoers, and fight and kill, and then you old monks come out to be good people, pointing fingers at our Taoists, which is really infuriating! ”
Master Na Canaan was robbed by Uncle Li, but he was not annoyed, looked at Uncle Li and smiled: "Aren't you still resentful of Master Miaoren's teachings for empowering you in public, if it weren't for Master Miaoren's assignment to you back then, how could you have achieved evil today?" ”
"What's it, is my Lao Li the person with the little belly, you look down on me too much, I'm not happy," Uncle Li was broken by Master Canaan's thoughts, his old face turned red, and he quickly denied it.
Master Na Canaan is a loyal elder, seeing that Uncle Li is a little embarrassed, he no longer continues, just waved his hand at Uncle Li and said: "There is a secret in Shuiyue Temple, but Lao Qu adheres to the decree of Master Miaoren that he must not disclose anything in case unless he is at a critical juncture, and has not told other monks. With that, Master Canaan got up and motioned for Uncle Li to come with him.
Uncle Li didn't know what Master Canaan was going to do, so he followed him to the Buddha statue of the Buddha with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes in the apse, Master Canaan stretched out his hand and rubbed the right foot of the Buddha with a thousand hands and a thousand eyes a few times, and then heard a slight sound of the squirrel, and the half-human height of the half-human cast lotus pedestal under the Buddha statue of the Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes Buddha appeared a secret door, and the Master Canaan took a lantern in front of the Buddha statue, bent down, and drilled in from the secret door, Uncle Li did not hesitate, and also drilled in, and then, the secret door was quickly closed.
In the dark, Master Na Canaan was able to walk in the black without any obstacles, so he took the oil lamp, completely so that Uncle Li could watch his figure and keep up, so as not to fall behind.
Uncle Li walked while looking left and right, but he didn't expect that under the apse was a landform similar to a naturally formed underground cave, along the natural stone tunnel, Uncle Li felt that they had been walking down, and the temperature was getting cooler and cooler, finally, they came to an empty and huge underground cave, the surrounding stone walls were as white as jade, and the ground was full of white sand and stone.
Although the oil lamp was like a bean, the insignificant light of the fireflies was refracted on the stone wall, and in an instant, the stone wall was like a night sky that had been wiped away from the haze, and a little silver light appeared on the stone wall, illuminating the cave brightly.
Uncle Li was completely shocked by this underground wonder, and after looking at it greedily for a while, he looked at Master Canaan with some dissatisfaction and complained: "You thief monk, we can be regarded as brothers in life and death, why have you been hiding from me from this good place, what are your intentions, old thief bald?" ”
Master Canaan smiled bitterly, looked at Uncle Li and said in a low voice: "You crazy Taoist priest must not be wild, do you know where this is, this is the place where the abbots of our temple have passed away, I don't believe you ......."
Following the direction of Master Na Canaan's finger, Li Shu'er noticed that on the ground that seemed to be paved with jade shavings, the spires of stone pagodas carved from gray limestone were revealed in a staggered manner, and he knew that it must be the relics pagoda after the death of the senior monks of Shuiyue Temple.
After Uncle Li saluted, Master Canaan took him to turn a few corners between those relics pagodas, stopped in front of a pagoda that was no different from other relics pagodas, and bowed down and said: "This is the place where Master Miao Ren stopped, in fact, after Master Miao Ren passed away, there was only a Zen staff left in the altar, and the body had already turned into a golden Arhat, and I went to the West Heaven to meet my Buddha, but before Master Miao Ren ascended to the immortal, he had left a decree to the old man, if he encountered a shocking disaster, he could dig out a stone box under the master's relics pagoda, which contained the prophecy left by the master, It can guide the maze and save the world from fire and water. ”
Speaking of this, Master Canaan turned to look at Uncle Li, and said a secret that surprised Uncle Li: "There should have been an underground dark river about five or six zhang wide here, next to the dark river, there is an ancient well, its origin is unreliable, it is said that at the beginning of the construction of the Shuiyue Temple, when digging the foundation, the ancient well was dug out, the water inside is black and condensed, can not detect the depth, and the wall of the well is surrounded by iron cables, and there are faint beasts, like the sound of thunder, but the abbots of the past generations have taken these as the top secret of the temple, Only the abbots and abbots of the past generations will know, and keep their mouths tight, which is the supreme secret of Shuiyue Temple. However, a few months ago, the ancient well disappeared from here out of thin air, the old man knew that something was wrong, and was about to observe for a few more days, not wanting to overnight, the dark river that had flowed for thousands of years suddenly dried up, it was really since the establishment of the Shuiyue Temple, the unprecedented great changes, the old man knew that there must be a demon at work, but he suffered from no means to catch the demon and eliminate the demon, so he remembered the proverb left by Master Miaoren before his death, dug out the stone box, opened it and looked, there was only one painting inside, six verses, the old man was dull, Only understand the first two verses to let you go to you, as for the last two sentences and that painting, but it is Zhang Er, King Kong, I don't know my head, so I will send the monk down the mountain to find you. ”
After speaking, Master Na Canaan gently brushed away a layer of gravel in front of Master Myonhito's relic, revealing a two-foot square stone box with bats and other Yin inscription patterns engraved on it.
Master Canaan pulled the top of the stone box out from the side of the stone box, revealing the two rolls of green rattan paper inside. With the help of Uncle Li, Master Canaan carefully opened a pair of green rattan scrolls, on which was a painting, depicting a fat man with curly hair that looked like a fire head, Zheng Ju was sitting on a pile of white bones, the man in the painting did not look like the Central Plains people, with deep eyebrows and hideous appearance, looking a little like Zhong Kui in the Western Regions!
Li Shu'er looked at the unsigned and untitled portrait for a long time, and he didn't know the essentials, so he had to unfold the second green rattan scroll, but saw that six proverbs were written on it: Priceless heart beads are pure and pure, and all different phases are vain. People can spread the Tao clearly, and they are immeasurably clear and high. Carry Jin Ruo on the old national road, don't worry about the silence everywhere.
After reading the six proverbs, Uncle Li was speechless, and then, cold sweat was flowing all over his body, only to see him slowly roll up the scroll, look at the relics pagoda of Master Miaoren, and secretly said in his heart: It turns out that Master Miaoren has already seen through my origin, but he has not been able to say anything, why is this?
