Chapter 375: White Tiger Temple
The mountain breeze was blowing, and a small temple in the hill emitted a melodious bell, attracting Li Bing and his party to walk quickly.
It was a community of more than a dozen small hills, and a small temple was hidden in this mountain recess. How long this small temple has existed, no one can say clearly.
It is only known that most of this small temple has been destroyed after the war, and only one ancient pagoda has been preserved. In recent years, with the resurgence of the construction of monasteries in various places, this small temple has once again entered the attention of the people.
There is a middle-aged man named Jin Bomiao, who wandered the rivers and lakes in his early years, and after returning to Qianxian County, he saw the ancient pagoda preserved in this small temple. From then on, he began to lobby everywhere, and in a few years, he amassed a large amount of wealth and rebuilt a temple around the ancient pagoda on the original site of the small temple.
After several years of painstaking operation, the small temple has been built on a large scale, and the incense is flourishing. According to the acceleration of this temple by the locals, Jin Bomiao named this temple: White Tiger Temple!
It's just that I don't know what the reason is, although the legend of this temple is very effective, there are not many monks who come to practice in Xi. In desperation, Jin Bomiao found a few wandering monks and filled the number in this temple.
Jin Bomiao naturally became the head of the White Tiger Temple, and he made decisions on all affairs. Those monks, naturally, were also happy to be quiet, just chanting the scriptures and worshiping the Buddha, and for a while, the White Tiger Temple began to flourish.
Li Bing and the others, according to the white tiger qi observed by Zhang Yuanshan, after coming to this small mountainous area, they did not make any discoveries and progress for a while.
Occasionally, I heard people in the mountains say that there is a white tiger temple here, which is very effective. Everyone was overjoyed in their hearts, they were originally coming for the White Open Array, since the temple was called the White Tiger, everyone estimated that it must be related to the White Tiger Array.
When everyone entered the temple, they saw that the layout was roughly the same as elsewhere, the only difference was that the Maitreya Buddha statue at the entrance of the mountain was replaced by a white tiger statue with hanging eyes.
Everyone came to the apse of the temple, only to see a seven-story ancient tower standing on the hillside, on a whim, everyone climbed the tower to overlook.
After Zhao Wan'er climbed to the top of the tower, not long after, her face looked a little pale and she felt slightly uncomfortable. Li Bing and the others hurriedly helped Zhao Wan'er down the ancient tower and sat by the tower to rest.
Shi Liya helped Zhao Wan'er and asked with concern. Li Bing was on the side, surrounding the ancient pagoda with great interest.
After a while, Li Bing let out a low sigh, his expression full of joy. He pulled out a pen and paper and quickly jotted down something.
Zhao Wan'er had also come to her senses at this time, her face was pale, and she still looked very weak. She said in a low voice, "Li Bing, I'm so uncomfortable. Let's go back first! ”
Li Bing said "um", beckoned Zhang Yuanshan and them together, and drove down the mountain back to a small farmhouse at the foot of the mountain.
In the small hotel, Zhao Wan'er reclined on the bed to rest, while Li Bing looked at his small notepad intently.
After Shi Liya made tea for Zhao Wan'er, she asked Li Bing with a smile: "Li Bing, what makes you happy like this?" It can't be the ancient tower that made you, a graduate student in archaeology, discover something, right? ”
Li Bing smiled and said: "Sister Shi, it's really like this, come and see, this is what I accidentally found and copied on the base of that ancient tower." ”
Shi Liya took Li Bing's small notebook and looked at it, only to see that it was written: "May 15, three o'clock, on the top of the pagoda, the white tiger appears!" ”
Shi Liya repeated it several times, and said excitedly: "Li Bing, does this imply that we are about to open the mystery of the White Tiger Formation?" May 15th, this should be the lunar calendar, right? By the way, Brother Zhang, you quickly calculate, what day is the lunar calendar today. ”
Zhang Yuanshan smiled and said, "Sister Shi, do you still need to calculate this?" Those of us who learn the Tao must be familiar with the lunar calendar, which is the basic skill. Today is the thirteenth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, and there are still two days left before you said the fifteenth. ”
Shi Liya smiled: "Sure enough, there is a providence in the dark, and the timing is so coincidental, two days later, we will find new clues." Li Bing, this is clearly said, two days later, at three o'clock, on the top of the pagoda of that temple, there will be a manifestation of the god of the white tiger. ”
Li Bing was also overjoyed, and said happily: "That's right, I can't believe that this last White Tiger Formation has been obtained without any effort. That's why I asked you to take a look at it too, to make sure, and I have a bottom in my heart. ”
Li Bing looked at Zhao Wan'er, whose face began to slowly turn rosy, and asked with concern, "Wan'er, what's wrong with you today?" Feeling unwell? ”
Zhao Wan'er shook her head slightly and said, "Li Bing, I don't know why." Along the way, we went on a tour of the mountains and rivers, and I felt very comfortable. It was after entering that temple that I suddenly felt a sense of depression, but I couldn't tell what it was, I only felt tightness in my chest. ”
Li Bing was in a daze, and Zhang Yuanshan said with a solemn expression: "Li Bing, I understood the reason why Wan'er suddenly felt uncomfortable, but she was in the White Tiger Temple, and it was inconvenient to say it at that time." ”
Li Bing hurriedly asked, "Brother Zhang, did you find something wrong?" Tell us all. ”
Zhang Yuanshan said very seriously: "This White Tiger Temple, although it should be a holy place for Buddhism, there is always an indescribable feeling. To put it mildly, I feel that there is a strong evil aura in it! ”
Li Bing was extremely surprised, and he looked at Zhang Yuanshan suspiciously.
Zhang Yuanshan sighed and said, "Wan'er, when you first entered that White Tiger Temple, did you smell that fragrance and suddenly feel uncomfortable?" ”
Zhao Wan'er nodded, and Zhang Yuanshan sighed: "The problem is here, incense to the gods and Buddhas, that incense should be quiet and elegant, but in the White Tiger Temple, as soon as you enter the mountain gate, the incense you smell is extremely strange." I took a closer look, and it was really different from other places, there was a faint smell of sulfur in this incense, and even a little fishy smell. This is incompatible with the pure land of Buddhism, how can there be a demonic aura? ”
Before Zhang Yuanshan finished speaking, Shi Liya said: "Give Brother Zhang a reminder, I also remembered that there is indeed something strange in this." I bought a pillar of incense, and when I put incense on the statue of the white tiger god, I saw that the incense was black, and before half of the pillar was burned, it was automatically extinguished. At the time, I didn't feel very comfortable. Brother Zhang, what the hell is going on? ”
Zhang Yuanshan sighed: "When the incense is applied, the incense hair is black, and it is extinguished before it burns out. In this White Tiger Temple, there must be demons and evil spirits. It's just that I haven't figured it out yet, why is it that only Wan'er feels nauseous and uncomfortable in our group of five? ”
Li Bing thought for a moment and said slowly: "Brother Zhang, if there is really some demonic aura in this White Tiger Temple. Then, it may be that a few of our men are yang, so we don't feel uncomfortable! ”
Shi Liya snorted, glanced at Li Bing and said, "Li Bing, you elm head." According to you, didn't I become a man too? ”
Li Bing knew that he had lost his mouth, and said with a smile: "Oops! Sister Shi, look at my stinky mouth, I don't use my brains to talk nonsense. Sister Shi is such a beautiful beauty, how can she be like us stinky men? Sister Shi, don't be angry! ”
Zhang Yuanshan's heart moved, and he said thoughtfully: "Could it be that this is strange, not only because Wan'er is a woman, but also because she is a virgin?" ”
