Chapter 206: The Ghost Gate
Schenck wasn't annoyed when he heard this, but just looked carefully at the little girl's smile and chuckled, "I'm afraid you opened it with flames, right?"
The little girl's smile froze, and then she said angrily, "How did you guess?"
"With your violent temper, how can you be patient to think of a way to crack it?" Schenk shook his head and laughed.
"You!" the little girl was furious, and the smell of fire emanated from top to bottom.
Seeing this, the horse's feet staggered, instinctively moved away from the little girl, and took a few steps back.
The bull head poured the little girl a drink as if nothing happened, turned around and poured it for Schenk, and then calmly retreated to the horse's side.
"Brother Niu, aren't you afraid?" asked Ma Mian in a low voice.
"Afraid, why should you be afraid? With the Buddha here, she still dares to go wild?" Niu Tou said lightly.
"Buddha, is he very powerful?" Ma Mian asked with some surprise as he glanced at Schenk, who was seated.
"Why, you don't know the Buddha?" the bull head looked at the horse strangely, and then whispered Schenk's identity. Of course, a lot of information was also heard by him, after all, with his humble status, it was a great blessing that he could serve the Buddha today.
When the bull head and the horse face muttered quietly, Schenk said to the little girl: "I finally remembered, you should be the descendant of Lao Li's lineage, right?"
The little girl was stunned, and the flames on her body instantly entered her body, but she didn't know how to reply to Schenk's question.
Seeing this, Schenck knew that he had guessed eight or nine points, and he was also very happy, after so many years of running around, he finally found some clues.
The look on the little girl's face was a little strange, as if she was guarding against something, which made Schenk feel a little confused.
"Did I guess wrong?" Schenk asked tentatively.
"Who are you?" the little girl warned.
"Well, Master Ding Cong, you should have heard of it, right?"
"Ding Cong? Well, I've heard of it, but how do you prove it?"
"Proof of this? How else can this be proven? You know what we're repairing, right?"
"If you know, you still have to prove it to me. ”
“...... How can I prove it to you?"
"That's your business, anyway, you have to prove your identity, or I'm not going to be kind to you. ”
“...... At the very least, you've got to say something and see if I can do it. ”
"No, you prove it yourself. ”
“...... All right. ”
While speaking, Schenck always wondered why the little girl must not say how to prove it, it seems that there is something strange in the middle. But if you think about it carefully, Schenk also feels helpless, and so far, except for the first few years when he followed Wu Yu to learn art in the mountains, he has hardly learned anything from his ancestor.
As for the later Shizu said that after changing his name to Ding Cong, he didn't teach anything, but only discussed with each other in theory. At that time, although they called him Shizu, the relationship between the two was more like a friend.
Now that I think about it carefully, I realize that the old saying is very correct - the master leads the door, and the cultivation is in the individual. The enlightenment of cultivation was indeed transmitted from Ding Cong, but the practice so far is all about his own understanding, feeling, and improvement.
First it was reincarnation, then it was to learn scriptures from the West, and now it is teleported to the place where Shakyamuni sat down, completing the establishment of the Buddhist system on his behalf, and finally running away through Nirvana. Among them, the experience is also rich and colorful, and the exercises practiced have also been improved by the Buddhist system.
Although the foundation is still soul power, there have been great changes in the feasible exercise route and the use of spiritual power. Now that he was suddenly asked to prove it, Schenck really couldn't come up with anything, so he had to frown and ponder, trying to find a way to prove it.
"If you can't prove it, I won't say anything. The little girl waited for a long time, and when she saw that Schenck was still silent, she said with some frustration.
Schenck also felt helpless, and finally had to condense a trace of consciousness in his fingertips, which recorded some of his memories. Just as he was about to punch it into the little girl's sea of knowledge, a faint fluorescent light flew out from under the little girl's arms and landed directly on Schenck's fingertips.
Shen Kewei was stunned for a moment, and the fluorescent light suddenly engulfed the divine sense on his fingertips, and then instantly lit up several times, and flew into the little girl's hand.
The little girl put the fluorescence back into her arms, and then said with a happy face: "It seems that what you said is true, let's go, take you into the city to drink." ”
Until the little girl picked him up and pulled him, Schenck kept raising his hands and fingers. He didn't even understand what was going on, why the little girl suddenly became enthusiastic about him.
Seeing that he was in a daze, the little girl giggled and said, "Just call me Lingling in the future, my surname is Xuanyuan, and my name is Xuanyuan Ling." The old man always said that there are many bad people in the world, and there are more people who talk flatteringly, and they can't be trusted without verifying their identities......"
Xuanyuan Ling babbled a lot, and Schenk came to his senses.
Schenk asked some about Ding Cong's past in his spare time, and then he heard the little girl say that her surname was Xuanyuan, and she understood a little in her heart, but she didn't know who the old man in her mouth was.
The bull head on the side saw the happy appearance of Lingling pulling Schenk to jump and jump, smiled slightly, and said to the horse: "Brother, have you seen it? ”
Ma Mian also nodded and replied, "Brother Niu, you can see it thoroughly." When I saw the lord of the city angry, my whole body trembled. ”
"Hehe, okay, I'll fall in love with you, and in the future, you can follow me to sit down on an errand with the Buddha. Don't call Brother Niu Niu, I have more life, my name is Ah Pang, you can call me big brother in the future, I will call you brother. ”
"Very good, very good, big brother is above, brother has worshiped ......"
When the bull head and horse were muttering to the side, Ling Ling suddenly shouted: "Ghost horse, go back to the city first and inform me, and say that my family is here to entertain me, and take out all the best wine and delicacies." ”
The horse's face answered and scurried towards the barrier, and disappeared with a thud.
Schenk said to the bull's head, "Ah Pong, follow behind." ”
After saying that, he looked at Lingling and waited for her to open the barrier.
Unexpectedly, the spirit took off into the air and flew towards the southwest, and Schenk hurriedly chased after him when he saw this.
But the bull's head stood still and did not move.
After flying some distance, the spirit turned northwest, and then north.
Schenck didn't know why, so he had to fly along. 90 Literature Network
The Spirit finally landed at a pass, and then looked at Schenck with a smile.
Schenck looked around, and found that there were vertical peaks on the left and right of the pass, forming a natural door frame, and in the middle was a large bronze gate.
The bronze door is rusty and has no ornamental patterns, and there is a copper ring on the left and right doors. There are some obvious traces of repair under the right side of the door, although the repair is very good, but compared with the integrated bronze door, it looks a little out of place.
"Is this here?" Schenck asked.
"Yes, this is the place where I got in in the first place. As he spoke, Ling Ling pointed to the traces of the door and continued, "Well, that's where I broke it in the first place. Later, it took a lot of effort to restore it. ”
Schenk had long thought that it was Lingling's masterpiece, but to be able to break through such a heavy bronze door alive, he really couldn't do it without some skills.
"Have you never opened this door before?" Schenk asked Lingling, looking at the bronze door for a while.
Ling Ling was a little surprised and said, "Of course it hasn't been opened, it's very convenient to walk through the enchantment, why open the door?"
Schenck looked at Lingling a little speechlessly, and then walked to the right side of the bronze door where it connected to the mountain rock, where a deep palm imprint appeared. The imprint is half on the bronze door and half on the mountain rock.
The marks on the bronze door are clearly the thumb and index finger, while the middle finger, ring finger and little finger are on the rock.
Lingling followed Schenk over, and when he saw the palm print, he was a little surprised and asked, "Who did this? Why haven't I seen it before?"
Schenk was speechless for a while, put his right hand against the palm print, and began to input spiritual power.
With the infusion of spiritual power, the palmprints began to glow around them, and spiderweb-like traces appeared on the bronze doors and mountain peaks.
After a few moments, the entire door on the right side and most of the mountain peaks were covered in light, but the bronze door had no intention of opening.
Schenck withdrew his hand in some confusion, and the light slowly faded.
"What's going on, the door opens?" asked Lingling.
Schenk's face was slightly red, and he coughed lightly and said, "It seems that someone needs to help me." ”
Lingling didn't understand what Schenck meant, and asked, "Help? How can I help you push when you open the door?"
Schenk pointed to the same part of the left door and said, "There should also be a palm print like this there, which may require two people to inject spiritual power at the same time to open." ”
After hearing this, Ling Ling ran over quickly, and then quickly ran back, and said angrily, "You lied to people. ”
Schenck didn't know why the little girl said he was lying, so he had to go over and see it himself.
Finding that the palm prints between the mountain peak on the left and the bronze door were stacked on top of each other, and it was impossible to count how many there were, whether deep or shallow, and the arrangement was irregular, no wonder Lingling said that he was a liar.
Seeing this, Schenck was speechless for the third time, and stood stunned for a long time.
Ling Ling walked behind him, and saw that he was a little dazed, so he said softly, "If it doesn't work, let's still use the old way?"
Schenck knew that the old way she said was to force a hole in the bronze door, but at the moment he was thinking of something else.
Schenk looked at the countless palm prints in front of him and asked Lingling, "Is there less and less people in the city?"
Lingling stared at the big beautiful eyes, not knowing how he knew about this, so he nodded.
Schenck said helplessly: "It seems that we must find a way to open this door as soon as possible." ”
"Why?" asked Lingling.
Schenk roughly explained: "Because this is the Ghost Gate, and the city where you are located should be the Netherworld. ”
Ling Ling frowned and asked, "I don't understand, isn't there supposed to be a lot of ghosts in the Netherlands?"
Schenck was speechless again, just silently made a few handprints, opened the light door and pulled the bull's head over. Then he pointed to the bull's head and asked Lingling, "Do you think he is normal?"
The bull head can't fly in the air, so he can only wait for Schenk's summons on the spot, but he didn't expect to hear such a sentence as soon as he appeared in front of the two.
Ling Ling looked at the bull's head carefully for a long time before saying, "It's normal, there's nothing wrong with it." ”
Niu Tou didn't know what the Buddha wanted to turn into this little girl named Xuanyuan Ling, but he only knew that he was going to speak the Dharma through his own appearance, and his heart was even more excited. I didn't expect to be overly excited at this moment, leaving tears in my eyes, and I couldn't stop being a first-class person.
As soon as the bull's tears touched the ground, a phosphorescent light flew up and slammed into the bronze door. It's a pity that the phosphorus fire is too small compared to the bronze door, and it turns into nothingness after a collision, and there is no trace of its existence.
The bull's tears rolled down, and the phosphorus fire continued to fly out, and their movements were very similar, rushing towards the bronze door. At first, it was just a scattered impact, but then it coalesced together and found a collective impact on the bronze door. After a loud bang, a palm print was left on the bronze door, and the sound of impact continued to sound, and the palm print on the door kept increasing.
Niu Tou was stunned by this scene, forgetting the excitement just now, and the tears naturally stopped. Now that the tears have ceased, the phospho fire has ceased to increase. After a few more impacts, the phosphorus fire was all extinguished, leaving only deep or shallow palm prints on the bronze door or mountain rock.
It didn't take long, but both Schenck and Spirit could see it very clearly. Although Lingling didn't understand what was happening, Schenck knew it in his heart.
The gate of this netherworld, the ghost gate, was closed, and I don't know why it was closed, and those souls had no way to enter, so they naturally couldn't be reincarnated. The more advanced souls know that there is no hope of opening the door, and after one or two attempts they leave, returning to the world, or practicing or doing evil. And the souls of those ordinary people could neither enter nor leave, so they had to hide underground and wait for the door to open.
Under Schenk's seat, the bull head was originally a servant who patrolled and hunted down escaped demons and monsters. Born with a terrifying power for souls, his tears are undoubtedly like boiling lava to the souls hidden in the earth.
When the tears fell to the ground, the helpless souls had no choice but to attack the ghost gate again, but only the souls were scattered.
Schenk was silent for a long time, reciting a mantra of rebirth, hoping to help those souls enter reincarnation. It's a pity that there is no door for reincarnation, and the death spell has no effect in front of the bronze door.
The bull head has seen Schenk's super-revenant soul more than once, but unfortunately it is not as quiet as this time. After the death spell, not even a trace of echo appeared.
Lingling looked at Schenk, whose whole body was shrouded in light, and was in awe from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't know what he was doing. When the light on his body receded, Lingling asked, "What are you doing?"
"This is a mantra that can help the soul to enter samsara and be reborn as a human as soon as possible. Schenck said lightly.
Ling Ling thought about the phosphorus fire that had just dissipated, and then asked, "Is it because of the influence of this door that they can't enter reincarnation?"
Schenk nodded, but said nothing.
Ling Ling looked at the bull's head again and said, "No matter how you look at him, he feels normal. If you just meant that, are the inhabitants of my capital city all these souls?"
