After the shock in the valley was truly stable, Yudong jumped down from the rock wall little by little.

Qin Zhen and the others also hurriedly ran over as soon as possible, and seeing that everyone was safe and unharmed, they all gathered around the big black mouth of the red-faced god.

This downward passage is not large, only about a meter square. When I shined down with a flashlight, it was straight up and down, about seven or eight meters deep, and it was pitch black inside, and I couldn't see anything.

However, although it is said to be straight up and down, it is very "intimate" to chisel out a lot of grooves. In this way, you can climb down like a vertical ladder.

Qin Zhen inadvertently turned around at this time and found that the huge demon slaying pestle also had a very interesting place.

After all three rays of light shone through the handle, a ray of light converged in the very center of the demon pestle. The extremely thin and extremely fine light was spreading deeper as the demon slaying pestle pierced into the heart of the red-faced god.

If Qin Zhen was not mistaken, as long as they went down to the lower floor, they would definitely see this light again.

Lao Gu didn't have the time to care about the big and small demon pestle at this time, he pointed to the black entrance and said, "Let's go down?" Although there is obviously a feeling of sheep in the mouth of a tiger, but aren't we tossing so much for this passage? Now it's right in front of you, what are you doing watching it? ”

Juntian squatted down at this time, stretched out his fingers and tapped the red-faced face, then looked up and said, "I think, this should be a hint." A hint about sacrifice. ”

Yu Dong nodded slightly. Motioned for Juntian to continue.

Juntian knocked on the red-faced god again's face and said, "After the demon pestle merged, the god was stabbed to death, and the sacrificial ceremony was considered a success, and the passage was opened." This proves ......"

Juntian touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "This proves that no matter what we do next, I'm afraid there will be this kind of ritual similar to sacrifice." Merely...... It wouldn't have been a sacrifice anymore. ”

"Brother Jun...... Y-What do you mean? Could it be that we are going to become a sacrifice? Qin Zhen asked with some panic.

In fact, there is no need to ask at all, the meaning of Juntian's words is obviously this meaning. You have to be like this red-faced god, at the cost of your life, in order to get a certain exchange.

"The red-faced god is the god of the snow-capped mountains of the main peak of this Meri. He became a sacrificer...... I think. He was supposed to sacrifice to the Great Black Heaven, which is Lord Shiva. Yu Dong answered lightly on the side.

"Isn't that big black sky a god and a Buddha? Why do you do such cruel things? Is it a god or a demon? Qin Zhen was a little anxious, it was very bad to finally run to the finish line, but there was a gun pointed at him.

Yu Dong looked at Qin Zhen very understandingly. Then he said slowly, "The Great Black Sky is an incarnation of Lord Shiva. Shiva himself is a deity of the two personalities of Jichuang zào and ruining miè. He is not the same as Vishnu. Lord Vishnu may be more positive, the kind that saves the people. But we're not dealing with it. Remember what I said before, destroying miè is both regeneration. ”

After Qin Zhen listened. The head shook like a rattle: "Stop! Although I have become idealistic after so much experience, I can't believe this nonsense! What kind of regeneration ...... I don't believe it! Is this a fool? Xia Yudong, do you lack heart? Do you believe it? ”

Yu Dong glanced at Qin Zhen, then lowered his head a little helplessly and said, "I can't believe it or not." If you don't believe me, what are you doing here? ”

This sentence made Qin Zhen speechless. Yudong seems to have said something similar before, yes, if you don't believe those "ghost" words, then what are they doing here?

Without any hesitation or struggle, Yu Dong was the first to enter the mouth of the powerful god. Standing from the outside, that picture is really worrying. Qin Zhen was even afraid that Yu Dong had just entered, and the red-faced god closed his mouth again......

Thankfully, that terrible thing didn't happen. After Yu Dong jumped to the bottom and found that there was nothing abnormal, he called them all down.

In the process of climbing down, Qin Zhen has been thinking about Lao Gu's words, and the sentence "sheep into the tiger's mouth" is still very appropriate......

After descending, they continued along the dark passageway. It didn't take long for Qin Zhen to see that ray of light again!

The dome here is carved with many elephant gods, scriptures, and even fairyland-like landscape pictures. The walls are carved with many identical and strange trees.

The ground in front of it was fenced off, and there was a large area of uneven broken ice and snow-capped rocks...... The very thin light in the middle just shone on a certain point of the rock, and I don't know what the meaning is.

Looking up, the source of the light was from the tip of the demonic pestle. It's just that this qiē is so natural, the surrounding elephant god decorations, the tantric scripture carvings, and the qiē all set off the triangular tip so harmoniously and not abruptly. It's as if its function is to shine the light.

Yudong didn't care about this snow-capped mountain rock, but turned around and walked forward to look at the trees carved on the wall. As you can see, it's the same tree, and it looks weird. Like a banyan tree, the canopy is wide and the branches are flourishing. But there seem to be a lot of differences......

Qin Zhen saw Yu Dong staring at the tree in a daze, so he walked up to him, pointed to the tree carved on the wall and asked, "What's the matter?" Do you feel more cordial to your compatriots in the next life? ”

Because Qin Zhen felt that this tree was like a banyan tree, he naturally remembered what Yudong said that he wanted to make a walking banyan tree......

was asked by Qin Zhen like this, and everyone else also gathered.

There were only two people talking about Yu Dong's strange wish that day, he and Qin Zhen, so Yu Dong naturally knew what Qin Zhen was referring to as "compatriots in the next life". So at this time, Yu Dong just looked at the tree and said, "Qin Zhen, this is not a banyan tree. ”

"Isn't it? I look like it...... But why do you care so much about the statue of this tree? Qin Zhen asked incomprehensibly. Now is the time to study the pile of stones and the light! What are you wasting time doing on this decoration?

Juntian also came over at this time, carefully looked at the outline of the strange tree statue in front of him, and then said: "This is indeed not a banyan tree, you must remember its image, maybe it will be useful in the future." ”

"What kind of tree is it, you two say! Oops, I'm in a hurry. Qin Zhen asked anxiously.

Juntian turned his head and asked with a smile that deliberately betrayed Guan Zi, "Qin Zhen, you don't know this tree??" In Buddhism, the five trees and six flowers rank first! Even if you don't understand the five trees and six flowers, in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the widely circulated poem written by Hui Neng, the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, you should always know, right? ”

Qin Zhen deeply felt that with them at this time, his wisdom and IQ were not enough! He is an ordinary man who can no longer be vulgar, who has nothing to do with studying what trees and flowers in Buddhism? Also, who is the Zen sect that Juntian said? Qin Zhen had no intention of converting to Buddhism, and there was no point in testing him for such a question.

So, Qin Zhen drooped his face and glared coldly at Juntian and Yudong, waiting for them to continue.

Juntian looked at Qin Zhen's crazy appearance, and laughed at that time. When he had laughed enough, he pointed to the carving on the wall and said: "Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing, where is the dust......"

When Qin Zhen heard this, his eyes immediately widened! It turns out that it was this poem?! If he had recited the poem directly, could Qin Zhen not know?! Why bother dragging out a Zen?! Who still remembers what the hell is......

If you stay in the dark environment for a long time, you will naturally become anxious...... This person is so anxious that it is easy to forget some things that he is very familiar with...... So, this does not prove that you are ignorant. Thinking of this, Qin Zhen's heart was a little balanced.

But...... The carving here turned out to be a linden tree??

Obviously, this question was also churning in Lao Gu's mind. He pondered for a long time before patting Juntian and asking, "Brother Jun, although I don't have any ink in my stomach, I still know the poem you just read...... The old monks all said clearly, Bodhi has no tree! That proves that there is no such tree at all! You and Dong Shao are studying the carving of a tree that does not exist zài, is it very philosophical......? ”

After hearing this, Juntian smiled and said, "This is the misunderstanding of the original intention of the Sixth Ancestor Huineng in the world. The poem he wrote, 'Bodhi is without a tree', is just an extension of the Buddhist theory of 'the four are empty'. It's not that there is no such thing as a Bodhi tree in this world. In fact, the linden tree is not only the national tree of India, a large evergreen tree of the genus Ficus mulberry. So from the carving, it looks like a banyan tree. ”

At this time, Yu Dong still looked carefully at the carving of the tree and said: "Bodhi means great compassion and great wisdom, and has the meaning of enlightenment and epiphany. ”

"Ah...... So since it's a common tree in the world, why do you still look at it like this? Isn't it really good to go to the botanical garden when we go out? Qin Zhen crossed his waist and asked very incomprehensibly.

But Yu Dong still looked at the carving of the tree with a serious face, and dragged Qin Zhen to let him look at it too, and pointed to the tree and asked Qin Zhen, "Do you see the strange shape of this crown?" ”

"Ah......" Qin Zhen replied helplessly.

"This is a pure wild linden tree that should grow in Bhutan, Nepal, Tibet, and other areas around the Himalayas." When Yudong said this, he spoke a little faster, and he felt as if he was a little excited. (To be continued......)
