Chapter 35 On Mount Garnan
At the foot of Mount Garnan.
Zhang Xiyun was bored fiddling with the demon cocoon, glancing at Zhou Xuan beside him.
"Senior, when are we going to go up the mountain?"
Zhou Xuanzai took the demon cocoon from his hand and knocked it lightly twice, "When did I say I was going up the mountain?"
Zhang Xiyun was stunned for a moment, snatched the demon cocoon from his hand, "Don't go up the mountain, then why did you bring me here!"
"I said earlier, my purpose is to lock the Yuan Great Array, and I have no interest in this seminar, a group of juniors compete, and it's boring to watch."
Zhang Xiyun's face showed disappointment, this is not in line with the plot that was said! I thought I could go to find Master Tianqiong, but unexpectedly, this old man didn't plan to go up the mountain at all.
"Then senior, why are you still here, wouldn't it be good to go directly to find the Suo Yuan Great Array. ”
Zhou Xuanzai took another sip of tea and said slowly: "The place I want to go to is in the Suoyuan Great Array, if the formation is not opened, even I can't go in, only when the three sects and four doors go to repair the big array, there will be a gap for a moment, the formation will stop working, and we can sneak in."
Zhang Xiyun secretly thought to himself when he heard this, could it be that his purpose was the cave that the senior brother said?
He rolled his eyes and asked pretending to be puzzled, "What is locked in this Lock Yuan Great Array?"
Zhou Xuan showed a trace of confusion in his eyes that he had never felt before, "I don't know much either" He paused, "But I suspect that it is a big tomb"
Zhang Xiyun's heart trembled, as soon as he heard this word now, he would unconsciously recall the tomb of Emperor Qin!
He stiffened his face and asked with a smile, "Senior, why do you think it's a tomb?"
Zhou Xuan drank all the tea in the cup, shook his head slightly, and said, "I am not completely sure about this matter, but back then"
He suddenly stopped talking and turned his head to look at Zhang Xiyun, "Why am I telling you so much! Stinky boy, you haven't reached that realm, it's not good for you to know too much!"
"All in all, I won't go up to this mountain of Karnan. ”
Zhang Xiyun couldn't hide his disappointment, he didn't finish his words, and he didn't let the mountain go, this dead old man
Zhou Xuanzai saw his expression, he secretly laughed in his heart, coughed twice, and changed his words: "I don't go up the mountain, but I didn't say that I won't let you go up the mountain."
Zhang Xiyun was overjoyed and said, "Senior, you want to let me go?"
Zhou Xuan smiled meaningfully, "Stinky boy, you want to run away so much"
Zhang Xiyun looked embarrassed, and accidentally got carried away! It was all because his body reacted too honestly
He hurriedly put up a smile, "Why is this happening! It is an honor in my life to be able to walk with my seniors!" As he spoke, he leaned forward again, and said with sincerity on his face: "But the juniors are thinking about it, the seniors want to sneak into the Suoyuan Great Array, wouldn't it be a burden to take the juniors, the juniors have heard of it! There have been many people with advanced cultivation in that place, and even the big demon has died."
Zhou Xuan was looking at his sycophant appearance, laughed and scolded, and said, "I didn't think of taking you there! This is also the reason why I let you go up the mountain, your cultivation is really unbearable, and you will only be sent to death if you go with me."
"I didn't want to reveal my whereabouts at the beginning, but then I came out of the Guancheng file, and now the people of Tianqiong should already know that I took you away, and now the people on the mountain may not know that I have come, but even if you go up the mountain and say this, it doesn't matter to me, knowing that I am coming, but not knowing that I have a helper, they can't prevent me from entering the Suoyuan Great Array"
Zhang Xiyun was stunned, helper? How could I see this old man looking for a helper along the way?
Zhou Xuan was smiling, and said: "Stinky boy, I see that you admire me so much, don't worry, your teachers are in the same school, and the footsteps are too slow, when I finish this matter, I promise to come to you again before you return to Donglianzhou, and then the two of us will go together, and I will take you back to Tianqiong Peak!"
Zhang Xiyun's face fell, your uncle, why are you still looking for me! The person from Tianqiong did not have a great cultivator of the Divine Realm, and no one would really be able to stop him from coming to forcibly kidnap him again
I cried in my heart why I was so miserable, but I didn't dare to show it anymore on my face, and I smiled again, saying, "That's great! It doesn't delay the affairs of my predecessors, but it also allows me to follow my predecessors to practice for a few more days."
Zhou Xuan smiled with satisfaction, and was about to tease him again, but suddenly saw a lot of monks in the distance.
The people who were still bowing down to Mount Kanan saw the monks coming from afar, and they stood up one after another, their faces excited, and many people talked about it.
"These are the masters who came down the mountain to give a lecture a few days ago!"
"I heard that it is a master from Gufu Temple! Does Gufu Temple know? One of the three authentic sects! It is the two major Buddhist holy places together with Ganan Mountain!"
When many monks arrived at the foot of the mountain, the people at the foot of the mountain put their hands together and saluted the monks sincerely.
The monks of Gufu Temple returned the salute to the people under the mountain, and then followed the leading monks to the Kanan Mountain.
Zhou Xuan, who saw this scene on the side, rolled his eyes and said to Zhang Xiyun: "It's better to come early than to come by chance, you can go up the mountain with this group of monks."
Zhang Xiyun turned his head and said suspiciously: "I don't know the monks of this Gufu Temple, I just have to go up by myself, why bother with them?"
"There is a mountain protection array in Ganan Mountain, if you don't go with them, you can't go up alone, and the mountain protection array doesn't recognize you," Zhou Xuan explained.
It turned out that there was still such a thing, so it seemed that he could only go up with the monks of Gufu Temple.
Zhang Xiyun hesitated slightly, "But how can I open my mouth and ask them to take me up?" I am not among the disciples of the walking generation who participated in this seminar, and I have only been in the school for more than two years, so it is difficult to prove my identity. ”
Zhou Xuan bent down and whispered a few words into his ear.
Zhang Xiyun raised his head and wondered, "Senior, can this be done?"
"It's definitely no problem!" Zhou Xuan stroked his beard and said to him in an old-fashioned manner: "These monks will definitely not embarrass you!"
Zhang Xiyun muttered in a low voice: "When I was in Guancheng, you still said that Jingbai's father would not embarrass me"
Zhou Xuan glared at him and said loudly: "Do you still want to go up the mountain! Seeing that you are grinding, you don't even believe the words of your predecessors? If you don't want to go up the mountain, go with me!"
"No, how could I not believe what my predecessors said, I will go up the mountain with them!" he said and ran towards the foot of the mountain.
Zhou Xuanzai suddenly shouted to him again, "Wait a minute!", Zhang Xiyun turned around, Zhou Xuanzai raised his hand and beckoned to his head, and said with a smile: "It feels good, but it's a pity that I haven't had to fight in the past few days, let's go!"
Zhang Xiyun was inexplicable for a while, this old man actually had to taste the taste of beating his head before leaving!
He pursed his lips and ran towards the foot of the mountain, and ran behind the last monk under the gaze of everyone, and walked slowly forward.
When Zhou Xuan saw this scene, he couldn't hold back his laughter, and walked until he walked to a place where no one noticed, and then he couldn't stop laughing.
"This silly boy, don't you know that the jade pendant you are wearing is the symbol of Tianqiong's disciple?"
When the monks walked to the foot of the mountain, they saw the mountain wall in front of them, and there was no way to go.
The leading monk saluted with his palms together on the mountain, and the people around him only felt that they were in a trance, and a path was opened on the mountain wall, and there was no end in sight, and they went towards the mountain.
The leading monk smiled slightly, bowed again, and then led the monks towards the mountain of Karan.
The people were amazed at this sight, and whispered, but none of them dared to go up the mountain with them.
No, someone dares!
I saw that the young man who had been following the monks with his head down since he ran over wanted to follow him up the mountain!
The eyes of the people were surprised, and the whispers unconsciously became louder.
The monk who walked at the end seemed to hear something, turned around, and saw Zhang Xiyun silently following behind him with his head down, his eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, he stopped, and saluted Zhang Xiyun with his palms.
"This benefactor, but what's the matter?"
Zhang Xiyun raised his head and laughed awkwardly, "I just want to go up the mountain to worship the Buddha with the masters."
The monks in front of them heard the sound behind them, and they also stopped and turned around.
"Donor, if it is to worship the Buddha, it can be at the bottom of the mountain, the Buddha is in the heart, and it is not confined to the mountain. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Xiyun had a bitter face, and according to what Zhou Xuan was telling him, he said to the monks: "I'll go up the mountain and add some sesame oil money."
The monks in front of him were stunned, but the monks in front of him also had a smile on their faces, and went to add sesame oil money to Kanan Mountain?
The monk who was leading the monks at the front heard the movement behind him, and he also turned around to look, and saw a young man following behind him, so he walked backwards to Zhang Xiyun.
"Huijue, who is this benefactor?"
"This donor said that he wanted to go up the mountain with me to worship the Buddha and add some sesame oil money to the mountain."
The leading monk was also stunned when he heard this, and immediately laughed.
Zhang Xiyun is now embarrassed and embarrassed, and he scolded Zhou Xuanzai thousands of times in his heart.
After the leading monk finished laughing, he looked at Zhang Xiyun a little, and suddenly saw the jade pendant on his waist, hesitated for a moment, turned his head and smiled at the monk Huijue: "Then let this benefactor go up the mountain with us." ”
Huijue hesitated a little and said, "This"
"It's okay, they're all children of the sect. With that, the leading monk walked forward again, and the monks turned around and continued their hike up the mountain.
Zhang Xiyun breathed a sigh of relief, but he was surprised again, that master recognized the identity of his sect disciple?
The people under the mountain saw that the young man had said a few words to the monks, and they could follow them up to this mountain, and there were even more discussions.
A few brave men hesitated for a moment, and wanted to follow up the mountain, but just as they walked to the front of the trail, they saw that the path disappeared, and changed back to the mountain wall, and the monks who had just gone up the mountain also disappeared.
"Immortal means are really immortal methods!" several men sighed secretly and walked back to the crowd with their heads down.
Zhang Xiyun walked on the path up the mountain, with the mountain wall on one side and the cliff on the other, and he could see the crowd under the mountain, but everyone at the bottom of the mountain came to see, but it was still the roadless Ganan Mountain.
He went up the mountain with the monks, and the monks had to perform the Buddha ceremony every few steps, although he had no choice but to follow the gassho salute, slowly ascending the mountain, and only arrived at the mountain gate after a full hour.
What immediately catches your eye is the "butcher's knife" stele in front of the mountain gate.
For some reason, all the monks looked at the "butcher's knife" stone tablet intentionally or unintentionally, and he was even more keenly aware of the complex expressions in everyone's eyes, even mixed with a hint of awe
The door of the Buddha Hall opened, and a few people walked out of it towards a group of monks, and the leading monks on this side also walked towards the Buddha Hall, and the rest of the people still stayed in front of the mountain gate.
Zhang Xiyun was bored, stepped forward, patted Huijue's shoulder, then looked at the stone tablet and asked, "Master Huijue, do you know what kind of tablet it is?" In front of the Buddhist mountain gate, why is the word 'butcher' engraved on the stone tablet?"
Huijue smiled politely, but did not answer.
Zhang Xiyun didn't care, and smiled again: "I just have too much curiosity and curiosity, so I just want to know the origin of this stone stele." ”
Huijue raised his eyes and looked at the stele, sighed as if helpless, and said: "It is said that this stele is not like this, and what is engraved on it is the four-character Zen saying of 'put down the butcher's knife'. ”
"Why did you become the way you are now?" asked Zhang Xiyun suspiciously.
"Legend has it that this monument was cut off by the Buddha Shakyamuni"
