186: Bodhi Relic
(Cat flutter Chinese) Cheng Wang Shizi replied
"Gongzi Mei has always been unrestrained and uncertain, this son only knows that he is here today, and he will catch the demon who is harming people in play and dedicate it to the emperor, so please wait patiently!" When the emperor heard this, the look of anticipation on his face was a little less, whether it was those warlocks today, or masters like Jiuwu, they all said that they would catch demons and ghosts, but what was the result?
He, the emperor of the country, is not yet condescending to the halls of this Buddhist temple. He glanced back at the tall and sacred Shakyamuni behind him, in the Buddhist temple, it was still like this, could the prophecy really come true?
The door of life and death is about to open...... In the afternoon of autumn, the climate is not as hot as the previous days, as if it will rain later, and the air is steaming in a hot pot.
On the side of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, because it is very lively, but there is no figure in the Bodhi Pagoda courtyard separated by several temples, and it is deserted like a deserted courtyard.
When Nan Zhao came here last time, it was the same, but I didn't expect that even the little monk guarding the tower below was missing today, she stood still under the tower, and looked around vigilantly.
There was an evil aura permeating here, and she didn't know where it came from, but it was not a good sign! A few steps into the tower gate, the door is the same as last time, not closed.
Worried that something has gone up to the tower, Nan Zhao ran up quickly, in the top of the tower, the incense in the incense burner has almost been dispersed, there is a god platform made of stone behind the incense burner, the edge of the god platform, carved with stone paintings, she didn't look carefully last time, it is roughly the story when this platform was set up, it was carved into a painting.
There is a Dharma hall under the Dharma platform, and there is an old monk sitting cross-legged on it, who is the Xuyun Master who is closing his eyes and calming down.
Buddhist monks, after entering the meditation, they will enter another realm, unless they wake up, others can not wake up, so the monk who enters the meditation, usually put a bronze bell next to him, ring the bell to wake up.
However, before Nan Zhao rang the bell, Master Xuyun closed his eyes and spoke
"You're back!" Nan Zhao is now next to the incense burner,
"Did the master know I would come back?" Since the last time she came up to unsign, if it weren't for the request of the shadow god today, she would never have imagined that she would still come here.
The master slowly opened his eyes, and his compassionate face seemed to have gone through countless vicissitudes in just a few days.
He looked at the mountains and forests outside the tower and sighed
"Twilight is coming—" It's just afternoon, and it's still early. However, Nan Zhao didn't correct it, she had already heard that Xuyun's words meant something else.
She came today to find the Bodhi Relic, and Master Xuyun has been guarding the Bodhi Relic here all her life, she opened her mouth, and she couldn't say that sentence after all.
Xuyun didn't look at her deeply, so he didn't notice the embarrassment on her face, he looked into the distance and said
"Look at the mountain color has changed!" Nan Zhao followed his gaze and glanced in the direction of Fairy Mountain, he hadn't noticed it before, but now he looked, it had indeed changed!
The mist wrapped around the mountains, like a great snake. That mist wasn't an ordinary mist, it was a miasma, and they hadn't seen it since the last time they set up a magic circle around Fairy Mountain!
It seems that inside the circle, someone has really entered!
"Why doesn't the master ask, what am I doing here today?" She finally couldn't help it and took the initiative to ask. Xuyun turned his head slightly, and a deep smile containing wisdom floated in his eyes.
"Isn't the donor looking for that man anymore?" Although he was asking her, Nan Zhao felt that the master already knew.
She replied in a whisper
"The master said last time, I can't find him, the master is wrong!" Xuyun shook his head,
"It's not the poor monk who is wrong, it's what the benefactor's eyes see!"
"Eyes?" She didn't understand, and asked inquiringly
"Is the master saying that everything I see is fake?" Xuyun still shook his head,
"Everything in this world is nothing, but there is truth in the void, there is truth in the truth, what you see may be true, but the truth is also false." Now that he has said this, Nan Zhao really had a puzzle in his heart for a long time, and asked out loud
"When I came back, the master read two sentences, can I give Nan Zhao a few words today?" Xuyun naturally remembered what he was reading, and he immediately repeated it in a deep voice.
"Come and listen to the wind and rain at night, I don't know where to go."
"The person the donor is looking for has indeed returned, but it is not that person anymore!" Her complexion changed dramatically.
"Master, what did you say?" She didn't believe it, and hurriedly walked in, her emotions fluctuating on her face.
"It's already doomed, you can't find that person! The signing of the book is not wrong, the ending has not changed, you think it has changed, but your eyes have confused you! She shook her head, and in order to prove the other party wrong, she spoke eagerly
"When you say I can't find it, doesn't it mean that I can't go against the laws of the Three Realms? I didn't go against the law of the Three Realms, I went through the suffering of the three levels of the underworld before I changed his soul back from the Yin Division! ”
"It was Lord Chenghuang who personally handed over his soul to me!"
"He's back!" She kept saying that her anxious appearance needed Xuyun's approval, but in the process, Xuyun always maintained a calm that was not disturbed by the wind and frost
"He's back! Does he remember you? Nan Zhao was stunned, shook his head, and explained
"He ate the Soul Rejuvenation Pill, he forgot something......" Xuyun told her
"It's not that he's forgotten something, it's that he's never experienced it!"
"Master, what did you say?"
"He's not the guy you're looking for!" Master Xuyun's words were clear, she didn't hear them clearly, but because she heard them too clearly, she was at a loss and her eyes were empty.
She remembered that time in the City God Temple, she had a big fight with the Yin soldiers and Yin generals of the City God Master, and the City God said to her that Shen Ru had already died of his life!
She never felt that there was something wrong with this sentence, but now that she thought about it, she suddenly understood that Shen Rugu had indeed reached the end of his life a long time ago, and he died three years ago...... She went to the underworld to ask for Shen Ru's soul, and the city god gave her Shen Ruguo, who had already been in the Yin Division, and she did find a Shen Rugu, but it was not the Shen Rugu she was familiar with!
"He's not Shen Rugu......" she repeated twice in a row
"He wasn't Shen Rugu ......" because he wasn't the son-in-law Shen Rugu who didn't know anything, he was ruthless and ruthless, and he was as lonely as an immortal.
"And who is he? Where is he? Nan Zhao asked Xuyun bitterly. Xuyun replied with a sigh
"A person who can reverse yin and yang, even if he snoops on the heavens, he can't find out his whereabouts!" Yes, at the beginning, even the Zhijue Master of the Sifang Temple couldn't find his trace in the Three Realms, she thought that he was gone, but even the Zhijue Master couldn't spy on him!
Nan Zhao's body fell down and sat on the ground weakly. Was this a big joke from heaven with her, or did he play a big joke with her?
"Donor, the time has come!" Just as she was stunned, Master Xuyun spoke in a deep voice. Nan Zhao came back to his senses and asked
"When is it?"
"When you come up, you must have seen those evil spirits!" When the master spoke of the evil spirit, there was a slight weakness in his eyes.
Nan Zhao didn't have the heart to think about those evil things, but when he saw the old man's expression, he couldn't help but be infected by it.
The tone of the Void Cloud Teachings said
"Whatever you've been through, it's not who he is, it's who you are! The poor monk has been guarding the tower here for 60 years, and now he is no longer able to shelter it, and the evil spirit continues to spread, and soon the top of the tower will not be spared, and the poor monk can only wait for you to come here......"
"Me?" Why me? Xuyun said
"The Bodhi relics have existed here for more than 300 years, it exists to protect the door of life and death, and now 300 years have passed, and the people who sealed it here have set boundaries for it, not everyone can take it out of the treasure box, and those who have no chance can't even see it!" Nan Zhao remembered that the shadow god had great powers, why didn't he come to steal the Bodhi relics himself, but let her come, did it have anything to do with it?
She asked, confused
"What the master said, does it mean that I can take the Bodhi relics out of the treasure box?"
"If you can take it out, you can open it and try it!" Void Cloud proposed. She had originally come for the Bodhi Relic, and after listening to the master say so many words, she always felt that this relic and those prophecies were inextricably linked to her, so she didn't hesitate too much, got up from the ground, and walked towards the altar.
In the center of the shrine, there is a white jade treasure box, the box is carved with the Great Compassion Mantra scriptures, she reached out to gently open the lid of the box, and the Dharma light belonging to the Bodhi relics in it instantly covered the entire top of the tower, and dispersed outward.
Almost at the same time, a bolt of lightning struck through the sky......
"Sensational!" Thunder resounded in the sky, and not only that, but the earth seemed to shake as well. In the entire Bodhi Temple, the earth was clearly shaken, and the people in the Daxiong Treasure Hall were shocked by this violent movement.
"Your Majesty, be careful, the ground has moved! The ground is moving! Gonggong Cao ran to Emperor Yan as soon as possible and protected the top of his head with his body, for fear that something on it would fall and hurt his master.
Everyone else was looking for a place to hide, but Wu Yazi strode towards the outside of the hall, looking in the direction of the Bodhi Pagoda, and when he saw the light ascending to heaven, he shouted excitedly
"Your Majesty! It's a Bodhi relic! Emperor Yan panicked behind the chair, and when he heard this voice, he was afraid that he would miss the blessing of the Dharma light of the Bodhi Relic, and ran out of the hall in embarrassment.
I heard that those who can see this Dharma light can be auspicious and turn evil into good fortune, so this will attract so many people to worship, and other people will also come out to see this Dharma light!
"The light of the Bodhi Dharma shines on my great flame, the country and the people are safe, and the eternal years will come!" Emperor Yan was so excited that he knelt in the direction of the Bodhi Pagoda and made a royal salute.
Everyone behind him, whether they are important ministers of the court, relatives of the emperors of the countries or ordinary people, all knelt on the ground to worship!
Inside the Bodhi Pagoda, after Nan Zhao stretched out his hand and took the Bodhi Relic in his hand, the movement immediately stopped!
She could feel the power of the spiritual flower in her palm and the power of the Bodhi relics converging, and then she saw more images that belonged to three hundred years ago.
The Gate of Life and Death, the Fairy Mountain, the Prison Monument, the Bodhi Pagoda...... Scene by scene, as if she had experienced it herself, passed through her soul, constantly impacted, and screamed!
Finally, she saw a person, his white robe on the ground, his hair like ink, who had personally hidden the Bodhi relics guarding the monument of life and death in the treasure box in the tower.
Behind him is Fairy Mountain, the mountain is wide and shrouded in mist, the scenery is picturesque, and his face is even more beautiful than the painting. He whispered to the shadow of the mountain
"Smell the wind and rain at night, I don't know where to return, the fate of the previous life is exhausted, and I will no longer have ...... in this life"
"As it is!" Nan Zhao was extremely sure that it was the one she was familiar with, and she tried to use the power of the Bodhi relics to reach the side of his existence, but that picture, after all, was only a certain picture that stayed in the relics, like a phantom, and it was impossible to touch.
Soon, she came out of the Bodhi, the Dharma light was no longer as dazzling as before, she didn't understand why she picked up the Bodhi Relic herself, turned around and asked the Xuyun who was still sitting on the Dharma Hall
"Master, who wrote the signed book three hundred years ago, and who left the mystery of the sign?" Xuyun didn't answer, he had already closed his eyes again, and seemed to be settled again.
But in such a short period of time, why did you enter the meditation again? Nan Zhao's expression changed, and when he looked over and raised his hand to the void cloud nose, he was already out of breath.
The moment she opened the treasure box, Master Xuyun passed away! Although Nan Zhao still has many doubts to solve, she has been guarding the Bodhi Pagoda all her life, and finally passed away in this way, like an empowerment, as he said, his time has come, and he can no longer protect this relic, and the person who can pick it up is the new guardian!
This is not entrusted by the void clouds, but a situation that has been laid out by the people who hid the Bodhi relics here three hundred years ago...... Who the hell is he?
Why did he say
"The fate of the past life is over, and it will not be obtained again in this life?" Why, Shen Ru of the Shen family is exactly the same as his face?
Is he alive or dead, a ghost or an immortal? These questions kept flashing through her mind, and to solve the answers, she had to follow the game he laid out and go on step by step.
First, it is Shen Ruguo! After Shen Rugu slept that day, she had a dream, which was full of those unforgettable things that happened between her and him, she thought that those dreams had been engraved in Shen Rugu's soul, so even if he ate the Soul Resurrection Pill and forgot everything, it would reappear in the subconscious dream!
It turns out that she was fundamentally wrong! How can a person who is not that person dream of someone else? She naturally remembered that a long time ago, the man always came into her dreams and talked to her.
The person she is looking for can be a dream! Those dreams that Shen Rugu had were given to Shen Rugu by him!
This proves that he is still somewhere in this world, and he must still be there! Although Shen Rusu, who returned to her soul, was not the person she was looking for, he must have some kind of relationship with him, no matter what, she had to rescue Shen Rusu!
So she quickly put the Bodhi relics into her sleeve and came to the woods outside the Bodhi Temple according to what the shadow god said before.
When she was still outside the forest, she felt the sound of a fight in the forest, and the sound of the fight was not an ordinary sword collision, but a contest of mana, shocking the mountains and forests!
She didn't know what was happening, and she walked towards the forest like a fly, and after about half a column of incense, she saw that the trees in front of her were upside down, as if they had been blown by a strong wind, but these trees were all old cedar trees, and the trunks were as thick as a human body, so how much wind would be needed to cause this damage?
And the other trees were intact, only this one, so she guessed that something unnatural must have happened here, related to the sound of fighting she heard.
At this moment, the sound had stopped, and all around was the sound of the 'salsa' of the breeze blowing through the treetops. She smelled Shen Rugu's body somewhere in the forest; Ever since Shen Ru's resurrection, she had been wearing a medicine bag on him to ward off evil spirits, so she could smell it even from a distance.
She felt that Shen Rugu was in front of her, so she ran forward, and soon saw a man dressed in black appear in the forest, squatting in the forest with his back to the direction she was running from to check something, and when he got closer, he checked another person lying on the ground.
"Shen Ruguo!" Shen Ru was lying on the ground, motionless, not knowing whether he was dead or alive. She hurriedly ran over, her face full of wariness for the man in black!
Because Shen Ru was taken away by the Shadow God, she did not find any trace of the Shadow God here, only this man in black.
Who is this person? The other party also heard her approaching footsteps, and slowly got up from the ground, but did not turn back.
When Nan Zhao saw the back, his steps paused, and the expression on his face froze. This back is so familiar...... Where has she definitely seen it, and soon, the memory of her once spending three levels in the underworld and passing through the Demon Refining Mountain broke out, and the ghost immortal who helped her through the three views was not wearing such a black robe?
However, that ghost immortal has already lived three views, and he should not be in the underworld at this moment, but has ascended to become an immortal, how can he appear in the yang world?
Appeared in Yunzhou City, in the woods outside the Bodhi Temple. The sun had long since faded into the clouds, but she could still see the shadow of the man under her feet in the sparse light above her head.
He's human!
"Who are you?" She asked, her eyes locked on the man.
"I'm here for the Shadow God!" The man replied simply, without any intention of introducing himself. She was expecting this man to come back, and she wanted to see his face, so she asked again
"It's you fighting with the Shadow God in this forest?" The man did not answer, acquiescing in silence. This made Nan Zhao even more curious, not long ago, in the Bodhi Temple, so many warlocks in the Xuanmen rushed up, and they couldn't touch the shadow of the shadow god, what is the origin of this person, can he fight like this with the shadow god in the forest?
"Where's the Shadow God?" The other party spread out his hand and held a scroll in his palm, which seemed to be a picture scroll, and he could vaguely see dense words written on the edge of the shaft, which should be some kind of spell used to seal spiritual objects.
Nan Zhao was very surprised,
"The Shadow God is sealed in this scroll?"
"Hmm." The man replied softly, as if perfunctory, and put the scroll back in his sleeve. She didn't delay, and immediately went over to check the situation of Shen Rugu who was lying on the ground, reached out, and found that there was still breath, but she was unconscious, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
By this time, the man had turned around and was ready to leave here!
"Wait!" Nan Zhao stood up again, whether she was there or when she was checking Shen Ru's old situation, this person seemed to be deliberately turning his back to her, not letting his face appear in the sight of others.
The more this happened, the more she wanted to see what kind of face it was, but when they first met, she was curious about a stranger's face, and it was really unreasonable, so she just asked politely
"This brother is so powerful, he actually recovered the shadow god and solved a lot of trouble for me, in Xia Nanzhao, dare to ask the brother Tai Daimyo, where did he learn?"
"Nobody, not enough to worry about-" When the other party heard her question, he just slowed down his pace, did not stop, and left behind such a sentence, and went away with the wind.
Nan Zhao still has Shen Ru to take care of, so naturally he can't catch up, which is really a pity. Soon after, when she came out of the forest with Shen Rugu on her back, she met Xunlong, who was sent by Zhou Yang to find her.
"Sister Zhao! Sister Zhao! Shen Gongzi, how did he give birth? This guy came all the way over, his voice was thicker than that of a cow, and he consciously took Shen Rugu and carried it on his back.
"It's okay, he'll wake up soon." Nan Zhao replied, but in his heart he was thinking about Master Xuyun, the Bodhi Relic, and the black-robed man just now.
Xunlong was relieved at this time, and suddenly remembered what happened when his master asked her to come out to search, and immediately said with a nervous expression
"Not long ago, the Dharma light in the Bodhi Pagoda covered the sky, everyone saw it, and I heard that the national teacher Wuyazi said that the Bodhi relics are the lifeblood of the stable Yan country, but when Master Xuanci went up to the top of the Bodhi Pagoda, Master Xuyun, who had practiced in the tower for many years, had passed away, and the Bodhi relics that should have been in the treasure box were gone, and at this moment the emperor was ordering people to find the Bodhi relics everywhere." Nan Zhao's face didn't move, and she didn't say much to Xunlong, there was something she urgently needed to figure out, so she should go back to the temple first.
Sure enough, at this moment, the whole temple was on alert, and the people who watched the ceremony were searched by the imperial guards in the center of the palace.
When they walked in, no one dared to stop her from searching, so they went towards the side hall, wanting to settle Shen Rugu there first.
Xunhu, Xunfeng and others were all in the side hall, and when the two entered, several people were getting together to discuss.
"That prince of the king entered the palace to talk to the emperor like that, I thought he was the same as the four princes of the Jin Kingdom, and he liked to talk about it!"
"Yes, I didn't expect him to catch that haunting demon!"
"This time, even that boundless son was helpless, and in front of the emperor, he lost face!" When Nan Zhao put Shen Ru on the couch in the hall for the pilgrims to rest, when he heard what they said, he immediately turned around and asked
"You're talking about the prince of Chengguo catching that demon?" Everyone was chatting lively, because she suddenly interjected, and her eager appearance was very confused, but she still replied without words
"Yes, I've already caught it, and I'm carrying a demon and a ghost face saint in the Daxiong Treasure Hall over there at the moment!"
"Help me keep an eye on him!" After Nan Zhao explained to the dragon, he quickly ran to the side of the Daxiong Treasure Palace.
The outside of the main hall was already covered with strict royal guards, and when they saw her coming, they didn't let her in.
"Let me in, I want to see the emperor!" The general of the Imperial Guards replied with an iron face
"The emperor is meeting the prince of Chengguo inside, you can't go in at the moment!" But she was not easy to dismiss, and when she saw Cao Gongcheng coming out of the hall, she immediately shouted
"Father-in-law Cao, I have something important to say to the emperor, let them put me in." At this time, if it was someone else, Cao Gui'an would only let her wait, but when he saw that it was her, he was a little embarrassed, and then he also went in with a thick head to pass it on, and soon after, he came to invite her in.
In the hall, Emperor Yan was still sitting on the Dharma chair, and not far away, another chair was added, on which sat a noble man in yellow clothes.
Ever since she entered the hall, the noble boy had also turned his head to look at her, and his face was handsome and free, a man she had never seen before.
