Chapter 452: Suppressing the Evil Ancient Tower
The four of them moved quickly and arrived on the outskirts of Osaka's western suburbs in the evening.
"Zuo Zhenren, where is Blackstone Mountain?" Songlin looked at the city below the mountain in amazement, this is a large city, and there is no edge as far as the eye can see.
"I don't know, I'll have to find a map." Zuo Dengfeng said.
"Zuo Zhenren, you don't need to look for a map." The big head frowned and shook his head.
Zuo Dengfeng heard the words and looked at the big head, only to see the big head stretching out his hand and pointing to the stretching mountain range in the northeast, "The drought is in the mountains three hundred miles away in the northeast, and I see its breath." ”
"Are you sure?" Zuo Dengfeng asked.
"Sure, the breath is very weak, it should be underground." The big head nodded and said.
"Qiu Zhenren, can you see the breath of the corpse in the Qi Observation Technique?" Pinebayashi interjected.
"The yin and yang in the corpse's body have been balanced, and the breath is no different from that of a human, and the qi observation technique can't tell the difference." The big head shook his head and said.
"Lead the way." Zuo Dengfeng said to the big head, the four of them have cultivated profoundly, full of aura, and they don't feel tired when they fly by hundreds of miles, and they can arrive at night when they leave.
After the big head nodded, he took the lead in sweeping north, crossing the ridge and skimming east on the north side of the peak, so as to avoid being discovered by outsiders and hide his whereabouts to the greatest extent.
After more than half an hour, the big head stopped, in front of a strange terrain, a basin of about twenty miles is located in the mountains, the basin is very flat, overgrown with weeds, thorns everywhere, there is a mountain peak in the basin, to be precise, it is a mound, the mound covers an area of four or five miles, there is more than 30 zhang high, there is a very old garden-style building complex on the sunny side of the mound, it is already night, there is no light and fire in the building, it looks extremely gloomy from a distance.
"Is there anyone in there?" Zuo Dengfeng looked at the big head.
"No, not a single human breath." The big head squinted his eyes slightly and observed for a moment.
"Where's the breath of the drought?" Zuo Dengfeng asked again, the garden-style building in front of him may be a Shinto shrine or something, which is completely different from the Taoist temple in Middle-earth.
"Directly below the hill, the depth should be about ten zhang." The big head reaches out and points forward.
"This mound may be what they call an eight-story pagoda." Zuo Dengfeng nodded and said, the Japanese like to use exaggerated words, the small island country calls itself big Japan, and the sun never sets. The word "Tai" in the name means the most noble, and the pagoda mentioned in ancient books is very likely to be this mound.
"Zuo Zhenren, there is a faint Buddha light around this drought, there should be a relatively special Buddhist artifact." The big head looked at it carefully and then spoke again.
Zuo Dengfeng nodded when he heard this, slowly raised and looked around, here is far away from the city on the south side, the nearest light is also a hundred miles away, the terrain here is the most stable feng shui pattern from the perspective of feng shui, the circle is yin and yang, the yin and yang are equal, the middle area is the mound, such a place is the most ideal place to bury and suppress the drought, the earth is not good or bad, yin and yang are not more and less, it belongs to the balance of the mean, the mean can last for a long time, and the balance can be stable.
"Let's go, go inside, there should be an entrance." Zuo Dengfeng took the lead in sweeping towards the mound, and after a while, he came to the entrance of the shrine, which is different from the south gate of the ordinary building, the gate of this shrine faces west, which is not common in China, because in the eyes of the ancients, the door of the Hades Hall is open to the west, and the door to the west is unlucky, unless the west side is the road, otherwise the house that opens to the west is called the ghost house, this shrine has the smell of the ghost house, the thorns all over the place have completely covered the previous road, and the door of the shrine is wooden and double-opened, It is two meters wide, and the upper and lower ends of the wooden door are broken, and cracks appear between the door panels, and through the gaps, you can see the tall weeds in the courtyard, and according to the degree of decay of the wooden door, the time of the shrine has been abandoned for at least a hundred years.
"Zuo Zhenren, what is written on this?" On the right side of the gate stood a rough stone bar with a lettering carved on it, and the pine forest was pointing to it.
"It's not a good place." Zuo Dengfeng glanced at the handwriting on the stone strip, and there would be ambiguity when translated from Japanese to Chinese, which is roughly what it means.
These two pieces of wood have rotted, if you push the door will definitely make a creaking sound, Zuo Dengfeng does not like to hear this sound at night, so he raised his hand and shook the wooden door, and suddenly the sound of the sudden sound alarmed the crows on a big tree in the courtyard of the shrine, the crows were frightened and quacked, Zuo Dengfeng frowned in disgust, and froze the two crows to death with a volley of knees, there are many crows in Japan, and they can be met everywhere in the mountains.
"Zuo Zhenren, its aura has changed, it may have noticed us." The big head was the first to walk into the courtyard.
Zuo Dengfeng nodded when he heard this, although the drought is positive, it is still an evil thing, and the breath it emits will have a vicious reaction to ordinary people, which is also the reason why this shrine is deserted and inaccessible, but the breath it emits is not harmful to the people who have survived the catastrophe.
The big head is very short, the weeds and shrubs in the yard grow very tall, the big head walks in it and hardly shows his head, if he changes to the usual Zuo Dengfeng, he will definitely set fire, but at this time the four of them are alone, if they set fire to the wasteland, they will undoubtedly expose their whereabouts.
Shrines in Japan are similar to Chinese gardens, with large courtyards with trees and flowers, and lotus ponds, but the buildings in the courtyards are not clustered, but scattered all over the place.
The big head leads the way with the grass in front, and the left peak climbs side by side with him to prevent unexpected situations. There are a lot of plum trees and cherry trees in the yard, because no one comes all the year round, the trees are very tall, and the branches and leaves extend in a disorderly manner.
"There's nothing unusual about this pond." The big head determined that he was looking at a waterhole in the grass based on Zuo Dengfeng's gaze.
Zuo Dengfeng did not answer the big head's words, but frowned and looked at the waterhole on the right, there are lotus flowers growing in this waterhole, due to the cold weather, the lotus leaves have withered, and a large number of leaves have fallen into it to cover the water surface, it is indeed eerie and scary at first glance, but Zuo Dengfeng is not looking at these, he is looking at the shape of the waterhole, as a decorative waterhole, this waterhole is too round, so that he can't help but think of the fisheye of the Yin and Yang Taiji diagram, if this is the case, there may be a formation here.
"Let's go." Zuo Dengfeng looked at it for a moment and let go of his head.
The big head didn't ask much, and walked around with a circle of three, and after a while, he came to a huge wooden house, which was built on the mountain, running east-west, and the east side of the ear house had collapsed, and was in ruins. The west side is the main hall, the door of the main hall has fallen off, the left and right door posts are black, the plaque above the main hall is still there, but unfortunately the years are too long, and the handwriting on the plaque is no longer legible.
"The breath of the marls is just below the slope of here, to the north." The big head stretched out his hand and pointed to the grim decayed wooden building in front of him.
Zuo Dengfeng nodded and then walked into the main hall, due to the obstruction of the big tree above, the light here is insufficient, the mildew in the main hall is very heavy, the main building of the main hall remains quite intact, the pattern of this shrine is completely different from the Chinese temples and Taoist temples, the statue of the god and Buddha is not enshrined in the north shrine, but a huge shrine similar to a small house is built with wood mortise and tenon, there is a spiritual position in the shrine, the number is about thirty or so, the spiritual position must have been written with handwriting before, but the ink pen used by the Japanese is not resistant to weathering, After weathering, all faded, it is no longer possible to determine whose spiritual position, in the large area of the spiritual seat placed on the left and right of the two black lamps, the lamps are not glass, but the previous coarse porcelain bowl, it can be seen that the shrine was built very old.
Because the god is not close to the mountain, Zuo Dengfeng walked to the north side of the shrine, and found that it was only a large earthen wall, the wall should have been painted with murals before, and now the murals have been mottled, but it can be vaguely seen that it depicts the scene of the ancient war, Zuo Dengfeng did not bother to look at it, because there is an area on the earthen wall The soil color is obviously different from other places, this area is seven feet high and three feet wide, in the shape of a door, although there are murals painted on it, but the color of the soil and the color of the murals are very different from the surroundings, It was obviously added later, and anyone who is not blind can see that this is a small door that has been blocked.
"Does this door correspond to the location of the Dryfish Breath?" Zuo Dengfeng looked down at the big head.
"It's basically on the same line, not much worse." The big head replied.
"Why are they blocking the door?" The sound of the pine forest is mixed with the click of chewing fruit.
Zuo Dengfeng did not answer Songlin's question, but reached out and sent out his aura through the earthen wall, and found that the earthen wall was not thick, only more than twenty centimeters, and after a short groan, Zuo Dengfeng used his aura to smash the earthen wall.
The earthen wall cracked and collapsed, everyone frowned in unison, behind the earthen wall is not a passage, but a black Buddha statue of the same height as a person, the Buddha statue is double-coiled and sealed, the law is solemn, but its form is not like the Buddha and the Buddhas, looking extremely eye-catching.
"How is it a Buddha statue?" The big head looked at the Buddha statue inside the wall suspiciously.
"The drought was suppressed by the surrender of Buddhist monks and the construction of pagodas, and this may have been a temple before, but later Shinto became the mainstream, and it was changed to a shrine." Zuo Dengfeng made an analysis.
"Zuo Zhenren, this Buddha statue seems to have been damaged." The big head stretched out his hand and pointed at the neck of the Buddha statue.
Zuo Dengfeng nodded when he heard this, and there were obvious chopping marks on the neck of the Buddha statue, which was invaginated for three points. The Buddha statue is a sacred object of Buddhism, and even Taoist disciples who do not believe in Buddhism in Middle-earth will not wantonly destroy and insult the Buddha statue, and this Buddha statue has a knife mark on the neck, which should be the work of a mad Shinto believer.
"What is this Buddha statue made of?" Zuo Dengfeng looked at the big head, the Buddha statue was black, not copper or iron.
"I can't see it, the passage may be behind the Buddha statue, do you want to move the Buddha statue?" The big head looked up to the left to climb the peak.
"Stand back, I'll come." Zuo Dengfeng waved his hand at everyone, this Buddha statue must be strange, otherwise the Shinto believers would have demolished it a long time ago. But even if it's weird, you have to move it, or you won't be able to find a way down.
Everyone retreated when they heard the sound, Zuo Dengfeng slowly raised his right hand and sent out the aura to probe and grasp the Buddha statue, and at the moment when his aura came into contact with the Buddha statue, the Buddha statue made a subtle sound, "Amitabha Buddha ......"
