Chapter 43: Shaolin Meditation Mantra
The green lantern scrolls, the morning bells and dusk drums, everything is so quiet and peaceful.
Wisps of green smoke sweep away the dust of the world, and bursts of Sanskrit sound sweep away the filthy soul. Tianryu Temple, a Buddhist temple that has been established for only 300 years, has such a unique charm.
To say that 500 years ago, the most famous Buddhist temple in the Xiuzhen world was the Jiulong Temple. The masters in the Jiulong Temple are like clouds, powerful in all directions, both virtuous and virtuous, and everyone in the four countries is well known.
In the sensational battle between good and evil four hundred years ago, Master Kuci, the abbot of Jiulong Temple, held the Nine Dragons Cup in his hand and summoned the nine sons of the dragon to help the Sword Saint, which also played a great role at that time, how can its merits be forgotten?
But the good times did not last long, three hundred years ago, unprecedented changes occurred in the Nine Dragons Temple......
Legend has it that the Nine Dragons of the Nine Sons live in the Nine Dragons.
The green dragon is the head of the four spirits, and the power of the nine sons of the divine dragon cannot be underestimated.
The world is known as the nine sons of the dragon, both good and evil. Some people say that they are spirit beasts that punish evil and promote good, while others say that they are fierce beasts full of evil spirits. There are different opinions among the people. Later, however, the latter became a larger component.
In any case, the legend that the Nine Dragons Temple can summon the Nine Sons of the Divine Dragon is indeed true, and the scene when Master Kuci summoned the Nine Sons of the Divine Dragon with the Nine Dragons Cup is obvious to all in the world.
The reason why Jiulong Temple can summon the nine sons of the dragon is to rely on two magic weapons.
One of them is the Nine Dragons Cup, the whole body of the Nine Dragons Cup is jade white, and the cup surface is engraved with the pattern of the nine sons of the dragon. If you use your divine power to urge the magic trick, you can summon the Nine Dragons of the Nine Dragons Cup.
The second magic weapon is the Nine Dragons Jade carved in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Corridor.
Although the Nine Dragons Jade Bi is made of white jade, its texture is extremely hard, the edge of the sword is unbreakable, and the martial arts spells are indestructible.
The jade is carved with the pattern of the nine sons of the dragon, each with teeth and claws, and the face is hideous, which makes people look at it and can't help but tremble in their hearts. I'm afraid that most of the legends of the nine sons of the dragon as fierce beasts also came from this jade!
It is true that the Nine Dragons Jade Bi, like the Nine Dragon Cups, has the ability to summon the Nine Sons of the Dragon, but the Nine Dragons Cup is light and portable, while the Nine Dragons Jade Bi is heavy and fixed, so it can only be used in the Nine Dragons Temple.
On the day of the death of Master Kuci, the nine sons of the dragon suddenly broke through the Nine Dragons Jade, and the evil spirit immediately enveloped the entire Nine Dragons Temple, and the Nine Dragons Temple, which has always been a universal sentient being, has since become an evil sect that does all evil, and the thousand-year-old temple that was once civilized in the world disappeared in the cultivation world, and was replaced by an evil temple of all evils.
The world's Buddhist temples are headed by Tianlong Temple, forming an army to protect the Buddha and jointly crusade against Jiulong Temple.
However, the masters in the Jiulong Temple are like clouds, and the Buddha Protector Army has failed to defeat several times, but has lost troops and suffered heavy casualties.
In the meantime, various righteous sects and cults are also fighting endlessly, in order to avoid the destruction of life, the Buddha Protector Army stopped attacking, and the Jiulong Temple has continued to this day.
The person who was the most likely to inherit the position of abbot of Jiulong Temple, that is, the eldest disciple of the abbot of Kuci, Youxin, was seriously injured in that battle and fled, and has not been seen since.
The two disciples of the abbot of Kuci have the law, and the third disciple has the sky, and they were renamed "can't" and "no heaven" respectively, and jointly inherited the position of the abbot of the Jiulong Temple.
As for where the name of Tianlong Temple came from, there are different opinions in the cultivation world.
Some people say that "Heavenly Dragon" was born to restrain "Nine Dragons", as the saying goes: "Dragons give birth to nine sons!", and in the name of "Heavenly Dragon", it is better than Jiulong Temple in terms of momentum.
It is also said that there is a dragon ball in the Tenryu Temple, and the green dragon can be summoned by urging the magic trick. And the green dragon is the head of the four spirits, and it should be called "heavenly dragon". The name Tenryu Temple also came from this.
As for whether the above rumors are true or not, no one knows at the time.
But no matter what, Tianryu Temple has developed into one of the five major schools of righteousness in just three hundred years, and its strength should not be underestimated. Its abbot is a master of Buddhism and unfathomable.
Jiulong Temple, in the Pavilion of the Scriptures.
"Oh, it's too boring in this scripture pavilion, why did the old abbot arrange me here!" Li Zhi complained.
It has been three months since he was last transferred here by the abbot to guard the Scripture Pavilion.
But Li Zhi has nothing else to do here every day except to sit, and this kind of torment is really painful for a fun-loving person like him!
Whenever he remembered the scene of playing and playing with his friends in Stone Village, he laughed happily. But when he turned his head to look at the expressionless Buddha statue and the wisps of rising green smoke, his heart sank to the bottom.
In fact, it is strange to say that the abbot of a huge scripture pavilion actually sent Li Zhi to guard it alone, and since Li Zhi came here, he has not found that anyone else has come here to read the scriptures.
The most puzzling thing is that there are only two books in the seemingly magnificent Scripture Pavilion, and the cover of the book has been covered with a thick layer of dust, as if it has not been read for a long time.
On this day, Li Zhi wandered around in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion again, only to see him pacing back and forth, but his mouth was yawning, and he looked listless.
"Oh, it's another day! I don't know how long it will take for this boring day. Li Zhi said sleepily: "Master, Master, even if you arrange for me to read the scriptures with my senior brothers, or exercise my body, why let me waste this great youth here?"
He kept walking forward, and in a short time he came to the box where the scriptures were kept.
There is another layer of dust on the box, and it looks like it hasn't been wiped for more than a month.
Li Zhi didn't know which tendon was twitched today, but he actually wiped all the two boxes where the scriptures were stored with a damp cloth, which was really commendable.
After wiping the box, he was about to turn away, when a thought suddenly popped into his mind, which had been buried in his heart for a long time, but had never been realized.
In fact, Li Zhi had long wanted to take out the scriptures from the box and read them carefully, because he had been a child, and it was too boring to stay here.
Helplessly, before he came to guard the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the abbot had repeatedly told him that the scriptures in the box must not be read, even if they were touched with their hands. Otherwise, life would be in danger.
But as time passed, Li Zhi's curiosity grew, and he was eager to know what was written in this scripture, why it was so mysterious, and why did he take his own life?
Then, he made that move that he had done countless times. I saw him gently open the first box, only to hear a "squeak", and the lid was lifted!
A book covered in thick dust appeared in front of his eyes!
At this moment, his heart beat ten times faster, as if it was about to jump out of his throat.
"As the saying goes, people are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather. Today, I, Li Zhi, have given up for the progress of society and the prosperity of the country!" Li Zhi said these words in a trembling voice, and then reached out and picked up the scripture that he had opened countless times in his dreams.
He gently dusted off the cover of the scriptures with his right hand, and five big characters immediately appeared in front of his eyes - "Shaolin Meditation Mantra"!
"Could this be some kind of profound internal strength method?" Li Zhi asked secretly in his heart.
After all, there is a martial arts dream in the heart of every teenager, and who wouldn't be excited to see the legendary martial arts secrets today?
Thinking of this, Li Zhi turned the first page of the book with his trembling hands!
To his surprise, the first page of the book turned out to be blank.
"Maybe there's a word in the back!" Li Zhi thought to himself, and then flipped back to the page, but until he flipped through the whole book, he didn't see a single word.
"This can't be the legendary wordless heavenly book!" Li Zhi was surprised, but he believed that this was a trick by the abbot of Ran, putting fake scriptures here and pretending to be real scriptures, so that he could hide people's eyes and ears with fake scriptures, so as to avoid the theft of real scriptures. It is no wonder that no one in the huge Tianlong Temple came to read this scripture.
Li Zhizheng was thinking about it, and suddenly felt dizzy, and it was suddenly pitch black in front of him......
