Volume 1 Conquest of the Ghost Castle Chapter 102 Dragons and Scriptures
Leaving the main hall, Shangguan Qiudie first took Jiangdong to the residence, which was the last of the entire Hundred Flowers Valley, and there was a small canyon that led to somewhere. Koto's room was built on the left side of the valley with a hole in the ground and a railing around it, so you can see the stream below through the hole while sitting on the bed.
"My room is on the right side of Taniguchi, and that one is. After Shangguan Qiudie instructed the two girls to help Jiangdong clean up the room, she pointed to a sea of flowers outside the window, looking at each other across the valley, Shangguan Qiudie's was directly opposite, less than two hundred meters away.
"Why did you choose this place, shouldn't the stamens of the Hundred Flowers Valley live in the center?" Koto quipped.
Shangguan Qiudie pursed her red lips and smiled: "There are so many sisters in the entire Hundred Flowers Valley, except for Hua Rui, everyone else can freely choose where to live. ”
"Why, does it have something to do with this valley?" Jiang Dong was puzzled, from the beginning of seeing this small canyon, he had a strange feeling, curiosity and some fear, as if something was lurking there.
"Clever!" Shangguan Qiudie nodded: "There has been a legend in the Valley of Hundred Flowers since the beginning of the establishment of the sect, saying that there is a dragon hidden in this canyon, so that each generation of flower stamen guards this place, once a dragon comes out, he immediately goes in to find a scripture and memorize it completely." ”
"A dragon? scriptures? true or false, why don't you just steal it? Has anyone seen it?" Jiang Dong felt that the more he listened to it, the more mysterious it became, and it was hard to believe it.
Shangguan Qiudie glanced at him: "I know that you don't believe it, but in fact, I don't believe it either." This legendary dragon has never been seen before, and now it is simply a phrase for sisters to scare each other when they are bored. As for the scriptures, even my master doesn't know what they are. ”
"Can I go in?"
"There's only one altar in there, nothing else. Shangguan Qiudie was a little speechless, she really couldn't figure out where the rumored dragon would come from.
The two stood by the window and talked for a while, and Jiangdong learned that Shangguan Qiudie came from Yangjian ten years ago, a native of Sichuan, whose family seemed to be a giant businessman in the Sichuan and Chongqing areas, died in a case of extermination, and had not heard any news about his family in Halloween Castle, and was only seventeen years old when he died.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked so much. Jiang Dong looked at Shangguan Qiudie with pity, and he couldn't say what he felt in his heart.
Shangguan Qiudie wiped away her tears and slapped Jiangdong: "Why are you looking at me with such eyes, I don't need mercy! Don't say it, let's go! You should rest early." ”
Looking at Shangguan Qiudie's beautiful and brisk figure like a butterfly, Jiang Dong smiled and closed the door, took out Shi Bodhisattva and knelt down on his knees to recite the scriptures of the "Diamond Sutra": "I smell it." For a while, the Buddha was defending the country. Gishu to the Garden of Solitude. ...... with the great bhikshus, "Every day and only at this time is the heart is peaceful, and every verse of the Buddha is like a summer rain washing away the dust and exhaustion of the body." Although he lost the cause of the West and was dissatisfied with the Buddhas in his heart, his love for Zen did not make him give up the habit of worshipping the Buddha every day.
"The situation does not refuse, the situation does not stay, everything follows the fate, you can be free, let go of the vested liberation. This may be my fate......" Jiangdong finished saluting the Buddha, breathed a long sigh of relief, put away the stone bodhisattva and turned over to the bed. The formation of the Valley of Hundred Flowers can also manifest the night, but it is much stronger than the Snow Family in Banjiang City, there is a fluorescent flower in the valley, and the night curtain can actually release brilliance, which is extremely beautiful!
Lying on the bed and tossing and turning, the legend that Shangguan Qiudie said kept appearing in his mind, although Halloween Fort was full of fantasy, but to say that there was a dragon, it was still difficult for him to believe, as for the dragon in the eight halls that roamed in the deep space of Halloween Fort, he didn't think it was a real dragon. Of course, what made Jiang Dong even more curious was the scripture, he really didn't expect that there were so many secrets in a small Hundred Flowers Valley.
"No, I'll have to take a look. Jiangdong turned over and walked out of the wooden building, and as soon as he arrived at the valley mouth, he was blocked by a figure: "Autumn butterfly ......"
"Let's go, my master has expected you to come. Shangguan Qiudie said with a wicked smile that had succeeded in some tricks.
"How did your master know that you would tell me this?" asked Koto.
Shangguan Qiudie grimaced: "Because my master asked me to tell you, I just wanted to test if you were a gentleman, but unfortunately, you didn't pass." ”
Jiangdong's old face was flushed, fortunately it was night, otherwise he would be embarrassed to see people even if he had the face of a golden donkey: "I'm ashamed, then you ......"
"Because I'm curious, but don't worry, as a stamen, I have the right to enter. Shangguan Qiudie smiled and walked towards the canyon first.
"Qiu Die, I'm definitely a gentleman, I'm just a little curious"
"Oh. ”
"It's true. ”
"Oh. ”
Jiangdong was speechless, he was really embarrassed, but it didn't matter, anyway, the eight precepts of Buddhism had broken several precepts, and besides, a gentleman can't be eaten, which of the nine major forces is a gentleman, as long as the bandits are strong enough, they can be kings, and they are respected by the world. When I thought about it, I was instantly relieved.
The two of them went deeper than a kilometer along the canyon before they saw a circular altar three meters high, about ten meters high. The two climbed up to the altar, and Jiang Dong was instantly stunned, what kind of altar is this, it is a flower bed, and the center part is a circle of open space with a diameter of about seven meters, which surprised Jiang Dong that the soil on the open space was blue. The clearing was surrounded by a circle of all kinds of flowers, including the couple flowers that he and Shangguan Qiudie had obtained at the Corpse King Dojo not long ago!
"What kind of earth is this, blue as the sea. Jiang Dong said, stretching out his arm and wanting to grab a handful and come over to take a look.
"Don't move!" Shangguan Qiudie hurriedly stopped him: "I heard from the master, this is the Hundred Flowers Array that the formation master helped us make back then, and the blue soil only shows this color because of the formation pattern." ”
Koto quickly counted them and felt the spirituality of each flower. There are a total of ninety-eight, from the point of view of spirituality, seventy-five of these flowers are ordinary elixirs, and it is not too difficult to find, but the remaining twenty-three are all at the level of elixirs, and several of them are unattainable, although the spirituality is not top-notch, but it is very rare.
"What is the purpose of this hundred flower arrays? Do you have to gather enough hundred kinds of flowers?" Jiang Dong was puzzled.
Shangguan Qiudie thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't know, Master only said that this is called the Hundred Flowers Array, and he also wants us to pay attention to the magic medicine-grade flowers, no matter what kind." However, the number hundred is often an approximation, and it is not clear whether it is a hundred or not. Let's go, go inside. ”
The two flew down the flower bed, and then walked towards the depths of the canyon, the valley bottom, which was originally more than 100 meters wide, became narrower and narrower, until two kilometers later, the rock walls on both sides of the canyon were completely merged and came to an end. Except for a lot of cluttered and lush trees on both sides, there is nothing related to dragons, and there are no caves or anything like that where dragons can live.
"It seems that this is a lie that has been circulating for hundreds of years. Koto teased.
"No, we in the Valley of Hundred Flowers have never dared to slack off in this matter for hundreds of years, such a powerful existence as a dragon must have a powerful spatial power, if you can only rely on the cave to enter and exit, it will be ridiculous. Shangguan Qiudie said disapprerovitically.
Jiang Dong nodded: "What you said also makes sense, could it be that the Hundred Flowers Array is to sacrifice this dragon?"
Shangguan Qiudie shook his head, and immediately denied: "No, we have already thought about this speculation, if it is to sacrifice this dragon, before the formation pattern cannot be opened, why do we have to guard the stamens of the past dynasties at the mouth of the valley?"
Koto has little knowledge of the pattern, this field is too mysterious for him, it is a kind of control of nature over the field. What Shangguan Qiudie said also made sense, but in the face of a possible big opportunity, he didn't want to wait like Baihua Valley, the second was to take the initiative to attack and try to exclude all the possibilities, if there was no dragon yet, he would be dead. Everything is not waiting, the second is to work hard, and whether you can succeed must go with the flow.
"No matter what, let's find two kinds of magic medicine-grade flowers, since it's a hundred flower array, the most basic thing is to get a hundred kinds of flowers first. Jiangdong was a little noisy, and after finishing speaking, he realized that something was wrong, so he hurriedly changed his tone and said, "Qiu Die, what do you think?"
"What, you still want to get some benefits from here?" Shangguan Qiudie was so smart, he immediately knew Jiangdong's thoughts, and said with a smile: "You are really a goose plucker, insatiable!"
Jiang Dong smiled: "No way, you are a house flower and I am a weed, you don't have to look for the house flower yourself, naturally someone will give you nourishment, but the weeds have to fight hard, not letting go of a drop of rain and dew, or even a piece of guano for nutritional ......"
Without waiting for Jiang Dong to speak, Shangguan Qiudie immediately interrupted: "Stop! Why does it sound so awkward, I also won it by myself." Let's just say it, what good plan do you have, it's always a good thing to be able to send us miracle medicine-grade flowers. ”
"Don't you have any friendly sects in the Valley of Hundred Flowers, you can go and exchange or borrow two" Jiangdong doesn't know where there will be miracle medicine-grade flowers.
"I took everything I could borrow, and I thought I knew something. Wait a minute, ......" Shangguan Qiudie was talking, and suddenly a paper kite flew in, which was sent by the guards at the mouth of the Baihua Valley to several middle-level leaders like Shangguan Qiudie, saying that there was a donkey screaming outside, and I don't know what nerves were made.
Jiang Dong patted his head, and immediately had an idea: "It's a golden donkey, it has a top-level three-color demon lotus!"
"Senior sisters and sisters, I'll deal with this donkey. Shangguan Qiudie sent out several paper kites and hurriedly flew towards the valley mouth with Jiangdong.
As soon as he came out, the golden donkey's excited four hooves ran wildly, and his cry became even more poignant: "Ang...... Rise...... , Lao Jiang, you have to call the shots for Lao Tzu!
Jiang Dong looked confused, stretched out his hand against the donkey's head, and after sliding for five or six meters, he turned over directly on the donkey, and the golden donkey slammed for a while, until the fire in his heart was almost over, and Jiang Dong came down from above: "Are you letting the female donkey castrate?"
