41. Odd numbers

Xia Ji walked through the Great Treasury of the Sixth Peak.

After reading the magic weapons, there are some mortal soldiers, followed by hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, famous incense copper furnaces, literary toys and pen and ink, rhino horn ivory, precious jade and strange stones, etc., and then there are some pills to restore injuries, restore true qi, detoxify and clear the heart, etc., these pills he can't look down on.

He was interested in the fact that there were rumored to have a lot of precious pills here, and there were even those that could directly improve the cultivation of true qi for decades, those that could instantly restore almost all of their true qi, and those who could wash the marrow and improve the qualifications of the root bones... All of these can be described as miraculous, and they are called wonderful pills.

But because the Danfang of Leiyin Temple was lost, the ancestors passed down one less one, and the last pill was exhausted twenty years ago, and now the rest are all mortals.

"It is rumored that Leiyin Temple was so prosperous in ancient times.

In the top Mo Xiao Han, the root is connected to the Sumeru vein. Yaocao Xianghui, Qihua Zizhi, Fairy Ape White Crane, Qingluan Caifeng, Zhuque Treasure Pavilion. Tianwang Palace, Dharma Protector Hall, Futu Tower, Youbo Flower Pond, Ten Thousand Buddhas to Come...

Now it is only a scaly claw, and it is no longer in its former glory. ”

Xia Ji sighed with emotion, in fact, just looking at the virtue of the monks who came out of this Leiyin Temple and the previous abbot, he understood that this temple was really declining, and those real inheritances were probably broken, except for two or three scriptures and a few Buddha statues, there was no more.

Even if it is a Buddha statue, the spirit that has survived to this day is very few, and it would not have been easily absorbed by him.

And, of course, the Xuan Array.

Demon Suppression Array and Arhat Array.

He asked about the emptiness he had seen in the past and the ease he was now.

Zizi only knows that these two major formations are based on the region, rooted here, and the spirit of heaven and earth is gathered.

It is possible for the tree to survive, but this kind of town and mountain array is to be abandoned.

And, the opening of the Xuan Array requires a secret method, this secret method has always been a single transmission, this generation, the Demon Suppression Array is passed on to the abbot, and the Arhat Array is passed on to the abbot, and the Arhat Array is passed on to the void, these two people died, and the secret method of opening the array was broken.

However, all this is not completely without clues, in the sixth peak of the treasure library there are still hundreds of thousands of documents, these documents are the notes of the Zen masters, piled up for thousands of years, there may not be no information, but the documents are tattered, many of them are even bitten by bookworms, tattered, disorderly, want to find some clues from it, nothing more than to find a needle in the river, you need to inquire carefully one by one.

It was hard work, and he said he would come and let the Zen monks check it every day.

After all, being able to find the secret method of using the two major Xuan Arrays, this new Lei Yin Temple is truly standing.

After this task was handed over to the monks.

Xia Ji walked towards the ninth peak.

There is still one last hidden danger in Mount Meru, that is, the old monk who guards the bitter sea.

Xia Ji had seen him once.

Now, I'm going to see him a second time.

For the first time, for the prince under house arrest, he came to learn from the scriptures.

This time, it's completely different.

In the winter evening, the magnificent glow is like blood, and the cliffs on both sides have been piled up with more and more thick clouds and mist, and the clouds and mist are ethereal, and the unmelted white snow has sucked away the temperature of the world, and let this peak become more and more cold and desolate, ruthless.

The old monk was still sitting on the opposite side of the chessboard, and when he saw Xia Ji, he raised his voice and said: "All things are impermanent, all things in heaven and earth are in the midst of life and death, last time it was the donor, but this time it was the Buddha, the old man asserted that there was nothing wrong." ”

Xia Ji sat on the stone chair opposite him and said with a smile: "But you only broke three points of demonic nature, otherwise the situation is very different now, and this cause is also the cause of the monk." ”

At the beginning, the abbot judged "seven points of Buddha, three points of demons", he received "special care" from Concubine Wan, if the sentence gave "ten points of demons", then it was not just a matter of "special care"...

The sentence given by the abbot must have come from the old monk.

The old monk said, that's right.

The abbot sent it back to the palace as soon as possible, and there was a problem.

But although the old monk said it, he lied, because when the two talked about it, the old monk clearly knew that this was not a matter of three demons at all, but he still only said three demons, and there was a problem.

In short, he had the idea of "protecting" Xia Ji.

The old monk smiled: "This is not the cause of the old man, but the cause of His Highness, because... Your Highness deserves to do this. ”

Xia Ji asked, "If you had known today, what if you would have sentenced it again?"

The old monk said indifferently: "No change." ”

"No change?"

"No change. ”

Xia Ji laughed, and then asked, "Then how much demon and how much Buddha do you think I have now?"

The old monk smiled, stared at the young prince in front of him for a long time, then folded his hands and said softly: "I look at Your Highness...... Spotlessly clean and very Buddha-like. ”

Xia Ji stopped laughing, looked at the old monk for a long time, and suddenly asked, "How long will the monk sit?"

Old monk: "Feet are roots, rooted here, and they are old in the wilderness." ”

After speaking, the old monk moved slowly, and Xia Ji noticed that the old monk's legs were actually tree roots, coiled and knotted, densely packed, hidden under the chessboard.

And when he moved, those tree roots were like hundreds of giant pythons swimming slowly, this is not an illusion, so the old monk in front of him ......

"The old man is a sa tree, in ancient times, he had to open the spiritual seed, the spirit fetus has been raised for thousands of years, and now he has only woken up more than 100 years old, because of the Buddha on Mount Meru, so he was born as an old monk, which the abbots of all generations are aware of.

Your Highness doesn't have to worry about Lao Gao, in Lao Gao's opinion, this Leiyin Temple should have been the land of the Buddha, and it has been dusty for a long time...

Now that His Royal Highness is in charge, the old monk is really happy in his heart. ”

Xia Ji thought about it for a while, and probably understood.

"Seven points of Buddha, three points of demons" such a sentence was deliberately told to the abbot by the old monk, maybe he wanted to kill the abbot, so that the entire Leiyin Temple was reborn and rejuvenated.

He took a fancy to himself.

However, he couldn't do anything on the top of the mountain, and when the situation fell to his side, he pushed the boat down the river with just the right amount of power, and drank and pecked, so when he saw himself, he understood that "the cause that was planted has reaped the fruit that should have been", so he smiled.

This is not a layout, but it is the fall of this old monk, and it is his encouragement.

Xia Ji asked, "Then what can the monk teach me?"

The old monk said: "Suppressing demons, the secret method of opening the two major Xuan Arrays of Arhats, I can inform Your Highness."

In addition, it is the whereabouts of the inheritance of Leiyin Temple.

According to the abbot of the 100-year-old year, the eighth peak was originally a place for ancient monks to recite scriptures, and it has been abandoned until now, but now the mountains outside the cloud have become the lair of many big demons.

But these big demons feel the human etiquette and the compassion of Buddhism, so they don't do evil, but there are many lost books in the Leiyin Temple are hidden by these big demons, these books are not robbed by them, but when the Leiyin Temple suffered a catastrophe, they quietly took it away, which can be regarded as a continuation of protection and secret inheritance.

If Your Highness wants to read the scriptures, when the time is right, you can go over to find those demons. ”

Xia Ji thought of the fox spirit that the Nine Emperor Maiden encountered, and thought of the sentence "What she wants is a big Shang royal family that can accommodate the demon", so he asked: "Has the demon suffered a catastrophe now?"

The old monk said: "I was born in heaven and earth, so I know some of the art of heaven and earth qi, and my complexion is bright and prosperous, and my complexion is dim and ruined." If the qi is red, it will be rich, if the qi is black, it will be woeful, and if the qi is purple, it will be rich.

Now... All things in heaven and earth, although as usual, but the rolling black gas covering the sky and the sun is slowly pressing, as expected, an unprecedented killing robbery is coming, the demon clan is also a living being, they naturally can't escape this killing robbery.

In the same way, the old man can't escape, His Highness can't escape, and everyone can't escape.

Some people don't understand that this killing is coming, and they are confused.

Some people know that this catastrophe is coming, or they are powerless, or they are lucky, or they hide from the world.

But others are starting to prepare for an extra chip, an extra hole card, and an extra ally in the killing.

When the Son of Heaven left the imperial capital, Lao Wei wanted to come, but he took advantage of the current situation, and it was for this matter. ”

Xia Ji said: "What about the monk's allies?"

"The old man is a tree demon, although not many people know about it, but after all, it is a demon, in the past, the demon and people lived in harmony, and it was okay to be safe, but now... This big world can't accommodate demons anymore. ”

The old monk smiled, and then added, "Your Highness is not tolerated." ”

"Why?"

"Because demons are aliens,

And His Highness is an outlier who has changed his life!

Otherwise... His Royal Highness shouldn't have come to Mount Meru to play chess with Lao Ke at all, nor should he survive the ghost siege.

Your Highness, it should have been a dead man a long time ago. ”

Xia Ji: ...

The old monk continued: "All living beings have lives, but this is not an immutable life, and chances and efforts can change their lives.

But like His Highness, it is no longer clear that he has changed his life.

Your Highness has completely changed your life, so for those who are proficient in stargazing, His Highness's existence is simply like a bright scorching sun in the middle of the night sky, incomparably clear.

Maybe it was hazy at first, but at the moment when His Highness guarded the imperial city and guarded against the ghosts, the heavens were in chaos, the number of lives was in chaos, and the source of everything was His Highness.

Therefore, Lao Wei only knew, and the big secretary of the Heavenly Supervisor Division, and even the Eighth Emperor Sister of His Royal Highness also knew that they had already sent letters and informed many people, and the abbot's information came from this.

With all due respect, His Royal Highness is now the enemy in this world. ”

Exhaustively.

Speechless.

Long...

Xia Ji smiled and replied gently:

"So what. ”
