"Hee-hee!" clapped his hands here, and Kou Zhong's oily laughter rang out.

He is a very good person, and it is undoubtedly his talent to fight snakes with sticks. Of course, such a talent also depends on the person who cooks. But now that he has reached an agreement with Yuan Hao, he knows that Yuan Hao will support him, so he can't help but make an inch.

"Is there anything you can do to help me with this Heshi Bi right now?" asked Kou Zhong with a playful smile.

"He's a family. Do you have any plans?" Yuan Hao looked at Kou Zhong with his eyes: "I'm just helping, and the main body is still on its own." You can't expect me to deliver it directly to you. So, I can do it, but it's still a little bit worse for you. In these years, the monarchs and ministers have chosen each other. ”

"That's what you say!" Kou Zhong understood the meaning of Yuan Hao's words, and he knew that Yuan Hao said this, in fact, he also wanted to weigh his own level.

Although the two sides have reached a joint agreement, the two sides are still a little strange to each other, based on such strangeness, if Kou Zhong does not show some strength, he is afraid that Yuan Hao will not say it, but he will look down on him in his heart. As far as Kou Zhong himself is concerned, he definitely doesn't want the other party to show such thoughts to him.

So, there were some things that he had to get to work on.

"I didn't think about specific plans either. However, I think we need to get closer and investigate. The Pure Mind Monastery is surprisingly large, so we must first look at the situation inside before we talk about anything else. Kou Zhong thought about it and made a cautious arrangement.

"Well, that's quite right. Yuan Hao said and nodded slightly: "Where are you going to observe these?"

"Well!" Kou Zhong groaned.

"Dang!"

As Kou Zhong was groaning, the melodious sound of the bell spread from the temple on the top of the mountain.

This sound made Ba Fenghan's eyes light up suddenly. He pointed to the large bell tower between the two stupas on the tiled roofs of the temples protruding from the temples covered with multicolored glaze, and said: "Since the bell is ringing overnight, there should be no one upstairs, so if we sneak there first and carefully see the situation of the whole courtyard, it will be more convenient to sneak up in case the treasure is stolen." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go!" Ba Fenghan's suggestion was considered correct by everyone. Although Yuan Hao has better detection methods, he doesn't want to use them yet. It's not that he was reluctant, but he looked at the bell tower over there, and thought that it was the only way for him to go to the Jingnian Monastery.

If you have to go up left and right, why don't you wait until there?

Yuan Hao was silent with such thoughts.

At that moment, he jumped from the top of the tree where he was hiding to the ground, and his immortal-like figure immediately unfolded, and in the blink of an eye, he climbed over the high wall and swept in the direction of the bell tower. Behind him, Ba Fenghan, Xu Ziling, and Kou Zhong followed one by one. However, their body skills seemed to be worse than Yuan Hao, and they were left far away by Yuan Hao after a while.

It's just that this kind of behavior may be deliberate by Bai Fenghan. As masters who have just entered the Grandmaster Realm, although there is a gap between their level and Yuan Hao, they are obviously not bad enough to be thrown by Yuan Hao to the point of being five zhang away.

Ba Fenghan did this, in addition to showing weakness, there was also something special he wanted to tell Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling also understood this, so they fell behind.

"Are you sure he can believe it, there are so many weird things about him, I wonder if he has some other means to deceive you. Ba Fenghan said quietly and with concern. Leaving aside his alien identity and his callousness to his enemies, he was a very bold friend. The so-called cold on the outside and hot on the inside is a person like him.

"I don't think there's a problem...... When he first met us, we were little thugs who didn't know anything. My mother was seriously injured and dying at that time, and if he wanted anything, we didn't even have the strength to resist. Xu Ziling whispered.

These are very plain words, but after listening to such a description, Bai Fenghan couldn't help but nod in his heart: "Since people won't deal with you when you're the weakest, then he generally won't have any thoughts about you."

Of course, you can also say that he was just optimistic about you at that time and invested in you in advance. But since it is an investment, it means that you have interests that deserve the attention of the other party. Maybe the other party needs you to do something in the future, but that's also later. For now, you can still rest assured. ”

We will talk about the future later, but we should not give up the current opportunity to strengthen ourselves for the sake of possible dangers in the future.

Based on the present, there is a future!

Ba Fenghan still understands this very well.

He nodded lightly at the moment, quickened his pace again, and followed Yuan Hao from afar.

The sound of chanting in Sanskrit seems to come from an unknown distance, spread all over the temple, and float to the distant mountain.

In the midst of such melodious chanting, the four thieves climbed one after the other on the tall building where a huge bell weighing 1,000 catties was placed. There is indeed no one on the bell tower, it is high up, just let Yuan Hao overlook the situation near and far.

The main buildings in the temple are arranged on the central axis facing the temple gate, with the copper hall as the center of the temple, and the scale is complete and uniform.

Except for the bronze hall, all the buildings are covered with three-color glazed tiles, and the color is as good as new, but I don't know whether it is because the monks in the temple are diligent in cleaning, or the tiles are so. In particular, the peacock blue in the three colors is the most dazzling. You can imagine the sparkling scene in the sunlight.

The bell tower where they stood was located between the bronze hall and the other main hall, but the distance between them varied greatly, the former being far away and the latter near. There is a vast platform square that reaches 100 zhang in front of the copper hall, is built with white stone, and encloses the white stone carved railing.

In the middle of the white stone square, a bronze statue of Manjushri is enshrined, riding on the back of a golden lion, up to two zhang high, and there are three Buddhas such as Medicine Master, Shakya and Mida next to the shrine. Painted gold ornaments are quite bold, but they also make people feel a little out of line with ordinary temple practices.

At the edge of the white stone platform, in addition to the four stone steps at the entrance, there are 500 arhats evenly distributed, all of them are cast in gold and bronze, all with different expressions and postures, but no matter whether they open their eyes and protrude their foreheads, or hang their eyes and guard inside, they are all lifelike, no different from living people.

The other buildings are arranged in an orderly manner in all directions with the main hall on the axis as a whole, separated by forest roads, and have a solemn and sacred atmosphere.

A large incense burner was placed in front of the Manjushri Buddha Shrine in Baishi Square, and the burning sandalwood was sending a large amount of aroma, permeating the entire space, so that the minds of the three of them could not help but calm down and infect the atmosphere of birth.

Xu Ziling looked at the stone steps stretching straight to the foot of the mountain outside the mountain gate, and said in a low voice: "It should be eight hundred and eight levels, and it will be so coincidental." ”

Kou Zhong and Ba Fenghan stared intently at the bronze hall with the door closed, studying countermeasures.

The sound of chanting is only ten zhang after the bronze hall, and the other places in the temple do not see half a figure, there is a kind of unfathomable, teaching people not to dare to act rashly.

The most bizarre thing is that in addition to the lights around the White Stone Square in front of the Bronze Hall and the Buddhist shrine, even the chanting hall is dark, making people realize that if they walk on the White Stone Square, they will become the most obvious target.

However, tonight, the bright moon is in the sky, shining on the glazed tile roof, and the big trees beside the passage inside and outside the temple cast shadows on the road, adding to the secret and unpredictable atmosphere of the Zen Temple.

In short, this is a solemn, gorgeous, and magnificent Zen temple. Such a Zen temple, even with Yuan Hao's well-informed, can't help but be a little dumbfounded. Not to mention that they don't have much insight at all, Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong.

"One hundred and eight has a special meaning in Buddhism. Buddhism believes that there are one hundred and eight kinds of afflictions in life, called the hundred and eight afflictions. So, the rosaries of those monks are all one hundred and eight. Of course, this is for Buddhism. Yuan Hao whispered: "As for Taoism, thirty-six heavens and seventy-two are exactly one hundred and eight, which is also a number that represents the consummation of one party. ”

"I see!" Xu Ziling couldn't help but be a little surprised, and his gaze at Yuan Hao also had a little more admiration. Admiring people with ability is more or less human nature.

"Okay......" Kou Zhong clapped his hands gently: "I won't say anything else, but the key now is how we should take the He Clan Bi out of that bronze hall." You have also seen the closure of the bronze temple...... It's tricky. ”

Kou Zhong sighed as he spoke, his brows furrowed tightly.

The bronze hall is indeed a nuisance. The entire bronze hall has no half windows, only four fist-sized ventilation holes in the tiled roof to exchange air. Obviously, this is a rather dull and closed space, and if you want to get something in such a space, from the eyes of Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong, it seems that you can only break through the palace gate.

In fact, it's exactly this question they're exploring.

"Will the alarm bell ring as soon as we push open the bronze door......? It's a gadget, but it's very effective and unbreakable. Kou Zhong made such a guess about this bronze hall.

Ba Fenghan nodded and said: "This is indeed a very smart anti-theft method, as long as the bell is hung in the door, it is strange that we do not miss when we open these two copper doors weighing thousands of catties." ”

"Ding, ding, ding!"

The sound of three crisp chimes came from the main hall where the evening class was held, and the chanting suddenly stopped.

The whole Zen monastery is silent, only the sound of insects chirping, gradually filling the space of the mountain and the temple.

Yuan Hao and Xu Ziling moved over and peered at the same time as Kou Zhong and Ba Fenghan.

Suddenly, Bai Fenghan's head was lowered by an inch, and he shrank behind the baffle, and whispered, "Someone came out!"

If the words are good, I saw one monk after another, with silver moonlight, Yuguan walked out of the main hall behind the bronze hall with his palms together.

Kou Zhong looked at their neat and somewhat wooden queue, and couldn't help but smile in a small tone: "I've been reciting the scriptures for so long, and now I must go to bed after going to the convenience of the group." If more than 200 monks go to squeeze the latrines, some people will not be able to endure the damn rest, ha!"

"Hey!" Regarding Kou Zhong's funny, Yuan Hao, Xu Ziling, and Ba Fenghan all felt a little ridiculous.

However, such a joke existed for a moment, and the next moment the four of them changed color at the same time.

But seeing that the monks below were lined up like long snakes, after leaving the hall, not only did they not disperse, but also walked straight towards the White Stone Square under the leadership of a blue-robed monk with a terrifying body shape who was different from other monks in gray robes.

He held an unusually heavy water-mill Zen staff in his hand, while the others after him walked lightly with Buddhist beads in their hands. Their eyes look at their noses, their noses look at their hearts, and their treasures are solemn, but they are not afraid of falling because their field of vision is narrow.

"The toilet shouldn't be in this direction, right?" Kou Zhong's scalp was numb, and his whole body was wooden for a moment, he muttered to himself, and under his composed, there was a vague shock that he couldn't bear.

Unlike Kou Zhong, who was apprehensive in his heart, Ba Fenghan still maintained his composure, and he pondered and guessed: "Maybe this is the habit in their temple - all the bald heads have to come here for training after the evening class, and then disperse the team?"

Xu Ziling saw that more than ten people in the leading group had entered the square in front of him, and he was already very close to him, so he couldn't help but shrink his body by two inches, leaving only his eyes a little higher than the outer railing of the bell tower, and said in a loud voice: "I hope so!"

"Maybe they have a guess in their hearts, but they can't make up their minds......" Yuan Hao opened his mouth to say what was most worried about in the hearts of several people.

What to do?

There is no way!

The four of them could only look at the two hundred and thirty-two old and young monks stupidly, neatly arranged in more than ten rows in the open space between Manjushri and the bell tower, facing the Bodhisattva shrine.

At this time, they were unusually quiet, and although there were many of them, they did not hear the slightest sound, and they did not even have the sound of breathing.

In addition to the tall and burly monk in the blue monk's robe at the lead, there were also three monks in blue monk's robes like him, with different appearances and four corners with him. It is easy to guess that they are the four protectors of the Pure Mind Monastery.

The four of them looked down from a high position, and their hearts were furious. With such momentum, such an array, and such martial arts, if these monks are formed into a group of monks, they will definitely be able to rampage on the battlefield at the moment, as if entering a no-man's land.

What a danger!

But the good thing is that everyone is facing away from them now, so that they don't have to face the other side in the eye, so that they are a little more comfortable psychologically.

It's safe for now.

Kou Zhong seemed to see through the nervousness in everyone's hearts, and suddenly muttered in a low voice: "It must be that old guy who is waiting for the air to come out to lecture." It turned out that his closed-mouth meditation was only used to deceive sesame oil. ”

"You ......" Yuan Hao, Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling shook their heads again and again, and they all couldn't hold back and didn't dare to laugh.

"Babble!"

While the four of them laughed casually, the two heavy bronze doors in the copper hall that were one foot high opened automatically without wind, revealing the dark and dreary space inside.

The four of them were dumbfounded, and they couldn't help but be glad that they didn't break in just now to be a thief—it turned out that there was really someone in the bronze hall.

The door of the bronze hall is not made of wood or hollow, and everyone can feel its heaviness by looking at its appearance and listening to its sound. Such a heavy door was pushed open by someone with internal force all at once. Thinking that the other party had such an understatement skill, the four of them couldn't help but look up to the sky.

"At this level, even if it can't reach Ning Daoqi's, it won't be much worse than Zhu Yuyan, right?" Yuan Hao seriously looked at Yangmei.

The strength of the void was so strong, which made Xu Ziling, Kou Zhong, and Ba Fenghan all feel heavy. They all thought that what was going on at the moment was too difficult.

With the appearance of the void, all the monks of the Zen temple announced the Buddha's name and saluted to the bronze hall. This uniform movement, like the chanting of the morning bell and dusk drums, frightened the four of them again, and their hearts were filled with the feeling of a cup bow and a snake shadow.

In the echo of the humming singing, a tall and handsome monk leisurely stepped out of the bronze hall and stood on the top of the white stone steps of the hall.

The monks, under the leadership of the four great vajras, saluted.

The four of them, who wanted to get the Zen master who practiced closed-mouth meditation, were not only not old monks with sad faces, but also so young and handsome, that they would not be more than forty years old when they looked horizontally and vertically.

He has a slender and dashing figure, a straight nose, and a lot of personality. The curved curve of the upper lip and the slightly upturned lower lip give off a certain indescribable charm, embedded in his slender face, which is both very beautiful and leisurely. The lower collar is broad, and the beautiful face has a kind of transcendent and secular brilliance, and the demeanor is neither weak, nor is it domineering, but teaches people to look comfortable and natural.

The most memorable thing at first sight is his pair of deep and unfathomable eyes, which can make anyone born with an unfathomable depth and a heart that dare not be underestimated.

He was wearing a yellow robe and a brown coat, which showed his detachment from the crowd.

At this moment, one of the Dharma Protectors, Vajra, chanted, and all the monks turned around in unison, facing the bell tower that was ten feet high, and gave salutes.

The four of them were so frightened that they immediately slid to the ground, facing each other, looking at each other: "This is discovered?"

I don't know who shouted below: "The Buddha Gate is quiet, only there is fate!"

As soon as this sentence was finished, all the monks recited together, the wooden fish bell chime, and a certain prescribed rhythm rose and fell in the chanting sound, and even the night sky seemed to be stained with a peaceful atmosphere, and it was extraordinarily secluded and far away.
