Chapter 14: The Pagoda
The passage of time on the Netherworld Road was several times different from the degree in the illusion world where the temple was located, and only Xi Ran knew that he had been in and out of these two places by himself. But for some reason, he kept it a secret, and just excitedly told everyone where the temple was. Hearing that there was such a magical place, everyone was naturally not to be left behind, and walked out of the place that Xiran said.
The moment they stepped out of the Netherworld, everyone was shocked. The temple in the sky is so magnificent and mysterious, that desolate and ancient atmosphere, it makes people feel the urge to kneel and worship. The melodious bells that ring from time to time make people clear and calm. At this moment, the temple in the eyes of everyone formed an extremely strong contrast with the previous Netherworld. How do the two coexist, one is a majestic, mysterious, and holy ethereal place, and the other is an eerie, eerie, and terrifying gate of hell?
After leaving the Netherworld, Liu Yusheng's madness was much better, he shook his head, and seemed to be much more sober. He shook off An Chen's hand and said, "I didn't think we could come here, I really don't know if this is lucky or unlucky." ”
An Chen didn't expect Liu Yusheng to be honest for so long, but at this moment, he suddenly broke free, and his face sank and he wanted to control Liu Yusheng again. Xiran coughed, signaling An Chen not to mess around, he smiled and asked, "Uncle, why do you say that?" ”
Liu Yusheng looked up at the temple, knelt down respectfully and kowtowed a few times, got up and said lightly: "There are countless evil ghosts and ghosts on the Netherworld, but we haven't met a single one along the way, haven't you thought about why?" Aside from the minor trials of endless fog and long journeys, I believe our ordeal has only just begun. ”
Liu Yusheng looked a little chattering, completely different from the crazy appearance before, and everyone was very surprised by his appearance. Qu Ranran walked over and touched his head and said, "Uncle, did you burn it just now?" Are you getting better now? ”
Liu Yusheng quietly pushed Qu Ranran's hand away, and said to her gently: "I'm fine, girl, thank you." ”
"Hey," Qu Ranran pursed his lips and said, "Uncle is so hypocritical, you have to thank me if I touch your head, what are you doing so politely?" ”
"That's not what I'm thankful for." Liu Yusheng said lightly.
Qu Ran was stunned for a moment, she couldn't understand what Liu Yusheng was thanking herself, she wanted to ask again, but Xi Ran interrupted her: "Uncle, what is the secret here, can you sue us now?" ”
Liu Yusheng sighed, shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to sue you, but I myself don't know much about it, and I don't want to say it and mislead people's lives." If you must listen, then I will say, but you better not take it seriously. ”
"Uncle should have cooperated like this a long time ago," Xiran said with a smile, "As long as you say it, we will naturally judge whether it is true or not." If you don't say anything, how can people believe you? ”
Liu Yusheng pondered for a while, as if he was thinking about the wording, and said slowly after a while: "Legend has it that Ghost Mountain has been an ominous place since ancient times, and it runs through Yin and Yang here and does not fall under the jurisdiction of the underworld, so the demons are rampant and the ghosts are rampant, and it is a forbidden place for the living. Later, there was a Buddhist monk, with ** power, great wish, great merit, on the ghost mountain to establish a temple, that is, the legendary temple. After the establishment of the temple, the ghost mountain Shanghai Yanhe Qing, a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere. ”
"And then? What happened? Why is it still so gloomy on the ghost mountain now? What happened when I heard that the temple was burned down by a fire? Qu Ran asked in surprise.
"Ranran," Xi Ran said sternly, "don't interrupt the uncle's words, let the uncle continue to talk well." ”
Qu Ran pouted and stopped talking. Liu Yusheng smiled and continued: "This peace and tranquility is just a superficial phenomenon, although that high monk has boundless merits, but it is not far from feathering. When he is there, he can naturally suppress these terrible ghosts, but what about when he is gone? Who else can preside over the temple and subdue the ghosts? ”
Qu Ranran couldn't help but interrupt Liu Yusheng and said, "Uncle, according to you, this great monk was a long, long time ago. But this monk is very fashionable, and he still plays ps, he still knows how to feather! (Note 1.)
Xi Ran frowned, and said sharply: "Ran Ran! The feather that the uncle said is the meaning of the master in Buddhism who has escaped the cycle of life and death, not the phoToshop you play! Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. ”
Qu Ran stuck out his tongue, and his appearance was very cute. Although she interrupted Liu Yusheng's words several times, which disappointed everyone who was listening to it, no one could bear to blame her when she saw her like this. Xiran stretched out his hand to signal Liu Yusheng to continue, Liu Yusheng paused for a moment and continued: "Later, this senior monk thought of a way to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle. The reason why there are so many ghosts and monsters rampant in Ghost Mountain is because it is not under the jurisdiction of the underworld, and Yin Cha can't get here at all. So the monk traveled to all the sacred and filthy places in the world, which lasted nine years, and collected countless precious materials to make a pagoda. This pagoda is based on gold bricks, made of beautiful jade bones, and inlaid with countless diamonds, agate, jadeite and other treasures. ”
"This pagoda looks resplendent and dazzling, but in fact, it is full of the most vicious things in the world, such as the thousand-year-old soul-attracting grass, the hundred-year-old yin soul wood, the Daluo world-destroying egg, and the green bone soul-sucking dew. And there were also the bones of evil qi taken out of mass graves, and the corpses of unformed babies in stillborn wombs, seventy-seven and forty-nine. This high monk used this pagoda as an introduction to open the path to the underworld of Senluo Hell from the ghost mountain, and from then on, the hell patrol messenger could patrol on the ghost mountain, and the ghosts and ghosts here would no longer dare to do evil. Liu Yusheng said with admiration.
Liu Yusheng's story is very exciting, and everyone is fascinated by it. Especially when they heard that the pagoda was made of gold bricks, beautiful jade, diamonds, agate and other treasures, everyone's eyes began to shine. Seeing Liu Yusheng stop, Xi Ran opened his mouth first and asked, "Uncle, what happened later?" What happened? Is that pagoda still there? ”
Liu Yusheng slowly looked over everyone's faces, and said with a wry smile: "Are you interested in that tower?" ”
"Of course interested! If, as you say, there are so many treasures on the tower, wouldn't it be priceless? Don't talk about getting it, even if I get a little bit of it, I'll be rich! Xiao Baoer said with a wistful expression.
"A lot of people think the same way as you," Liu Yusheng said, shaking his head, "but then they all died." Why do you only pay attention to the materials from which the tower is built, but don't think about what is suppressed in the tower? ”
Xiao Baoer said indifferently: "Isn't it just some kind of soul attraction grass, what kind of yin soul wood, I haven't heard of it." Uncle, these things have strange names, what are they for? ”
Liu Yusheng did not directly answer Xiao Baoer's question, but continued to tell the story of the temple.
After many years, the ghost mountain became peaceful, and the temple's reputation was greatly shaken, so countless believers climbed the mountain and waded through the water to come here to make incense and make wishes. Or maybe it's because the temple suppressed the path of the netherworld, and there is great merit, and eight out of ten people who come here to make a wish will be able to get their wish. In this way, the reputation of the temple became more and more divine, and the more outrageous it became, more and more people came here. In addition to making incense and making wishes, people also like to wander on the ghost mountain, saying that they want to get in the spirit. Wander around, and something happens. ”
Liu Yusheng paused for a moment and then said: "I don't know who accidentally saw the real body of the pagoda when he was wandering around, this time it can be fried, and the news that there is a pagoda in the temple has spread far and wide, attracting countless people to come and watch." In the end, even the local government was alarmed, and the then Futai Lord personally went to the temple to visit the monks and asked for a view of the pagoda. The senior monk was already old, and in addition to him, there were only a few small novices in the temple, and no one could stop the wolf-like officers and soldiers under the prefect, so the pagoda was moved out of the apse of the temple. As soon as the prefect saw the pagoda, he became greedy and wanted to take it for himself. ”
With a long sigh, Liu Yusheng whispered: "People, greed is the original sin. The prefect ordered someone to move the pagoda away, but unbeknownst to him, the pagoda left its position, and the netherworld passage was immediately closed. The mountains of terrible ghosts and unjust spirits immediately began to harm people, and the wind on the ghost mountain was miserable, as if the forest fell into hell and reappeared in the world. The prefect didn't know that the catastrophe was coming, and he still hugged the pagoda to death, and finally thousands of people on the ghost mountain all died, and only the old monk survived. The boundless ghosts surrounded the monks, wanting to avenge the revenge that had been suppressed over the years, and the old monks sat still, chanting the mantra of the light of the great sun in their mouths. A raging fire ignited, burned the temple to the ground, and cremated the old monk in it. Since then, temples, pagodas, netherworlds, ghosts, and so on have all disappeared. ”
"The story of the temple is over here," Liu Yusheng said after looking at everyone, "There are several theories about the final ending. There is a more reliable way to say that after the cremation of the monk, his Buddha bone relics continued his will, and he was still suppressing the netherworld passage and countless ghosts. However, in order to prevent the living from disturbing, the temple and the Buddha bone relics are hidden, and they will not appear in front of the world. ”
"It seems that uncle, you believe this statement? Are you here for the Buddha bone relics? Xi Ran asked coldly and loudly.
Liu Yusheng's expression was flustered, it was the panic of being seen through his heart. But soon he calmed down and said lightly: "Since you have come here, you might as well talk openly and honestly." Yes, I'm here for the Buddha bone relics! Legend has it that this relic is so powerful that it can even bring the dead back to life. So what about you, what are you here for? ”
"Bang Bang ......"
There was a burst of applause, and Xi Ran clapped his hands and said, "Uncle is really honest enough, it would be good to say no sooner." We are here, if not for anything else, but for that magical pagoda! With it, each of us is a billionaire! Although everyone has the same goal, the purpose is not conflicting, and cooperation is mutually beneficial, what do you think, uncle? ”
Note 1: Feathering, in addition to the meaning of ascension, is a more commonly used tool in phoToshop, for a selected edit. Well, that's roughly what it means, it's not like I'm blindly spoofing.
