Chapter 10 Protecting the Temple and Tiger Ancestor
"Father! Mother!"
Zhou Qilang slumped to the ground, lying in the blood mud, watching his brother holding a blood-dripping silver sword and approaching them step by step.
The two figures knelt on the ground and snuggled together, Zhou Qinglian's decadent face, full of blood, a pair of cloudy eyes, and the last look at Zhou Qilang, shook his head at him with endless lamentation.
"No!"
Poof!
The sword fell in hand, and the two heads rolled to the ground, and the splattered blood splashed three feet away, scattered on the stone steps of the main hall
"Ahh
Zhou Qilang woke up from the bed suddenly, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and he glanced at the room with helpless flashing eyes. It turned out to be a nightmare
He took a deep breath, grabbed his head a few times, lifted the quilt and got up from the bed, stepped on his cloth shoes and walked to the wooden door of the meditation room, and opened the wooden door.
[Squeak--].
The dazzling sunlight hit his face, Zhou Qilang raised his hand to block it, and glanced outside the house, where several little novices were frolicking.
"Uncle Shi. ”
The immature children's voice, a few little novices saw Zhou Qilang, and respectfully bowed to the Buddha. Although Zhou Qilang was still a little in a trance, he also returned to the Buddha seriously.
"What about your little uncle?" Zhou Qilang asked softly.
"Oh, Uncle Quitting Sex went down the mountain early in the morning. A little novice replied with a round and chubby head raised.
"How long have I been asleep?" Zhou Qilang glanced at the sun, and the picture of his last climb to the top of the mountain flashed in his mind.
"Uncle Shi has slept for two days. The little fat man said with a smile.
Zhou Qilang was stunned for a moment, stopped asking them, and returned to the meditation room.
"I've been sleeping for two days now, so it's no wonder I feel sore all over. Zhou Qilang picked up the cyan teapot from the sandalwood table and got a cup of herbal tea, poured it in one gulp, felt that it still didn't quench his thirst, and directly carried the teapot and poured it into his mouth.
Zhou Qilang put down the teapot with satisfaction, exhaled, and felt much better, but his stomach was rumbling.
"Oh no, it's been three days!" Zhou Qilang suddenly thought of the competition with the martial arts, and before he knew it, he had slept for two days, and he would have to compete with the martial arts tomorrow
Jiewu is a monk of the fourth layer of condensation, and Zhou Qilang is only the second layer of condensation, originally he planned to spend the next two days of condensing aura, and it is possible to break through the third layer of condensation, after all, he had experience before, but now
"Hey" Zhou Qilang exhaled, it seems that he has to admit defeat tomorrow, and people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
"Little Seventh Senior Brother~~~" shouted crisply, and when I heard it, it was the little brother who quit sex.
A half-human-tall figure suddenly flashed like in the meditation room, jumped onto the wooden chair, and dropped a bag of things by the way.
"Where did the peaches come from?" Zhou Qilang lowered his eyebrows and glanced at the fruits on the table, and said suspiciously.
"What peaches? It's really uneducated, this is not a peach. The little brother patted his little short legs and scratched his mouth a few times.
"Isn't this a peach?" Zhou Qilang reached out and took out one, it was really similar to a peach, bright red with green, smelling a faint crispy fragrance, this was obviously a peach
"This is the Ling'er fruit, which replenishes the spiritual energy, and I finally picked it for you from the elixir garden at the bottom of the mountain. The little brother took one in his chubby hand, rubbed it on the monk's robe, looked at it a few times, and bit it down.
There was a crunching sound, and a quiet aroma spread throughout the meditation room like nectar flowing spirits, Zhou Qilang just sniffed it, and immediately felt that the aura in the sea of qi was tumbling, as if it was about to break through!
"It's so fragrant! It's so rich!" Zhou Qilang swallowed, and his eyes were fiery as he looked at the little brother who was constantly shaking his legs and eating.
"You eat. Jiese held his half-face-sized Ling'er fruit, and muttered a word full of flesh.
Zhou Qilang hurriedly picked up one, forgot to even wipe it, and took a bite!
When he landed, the mouth was full of fragrant aura, the kind of breath like a fairy, filled the whole body, and in an instant, the meridians of the whole body were beating happily, and the aura in the sea of qi flowed on its own, Zhou Qilang felt that his aura was constantly expanding with just one bite, and he was almost about to break through!
Click!
took another bite, and Zhou Qilang then swallowed it all.
"Hiccup" burped deeply, he squinted his eyes full of happiness, wiped the rich aura juice at the corner of his mouth, and glanced at the last Ling'er fruit on the table.
Zhou Qilang turned over and sat on the bed, sat upright with his handprints, and closed his eyes to breathe. He knew that the aura in his body was strong enough, and he was close to breaking through the pranayama!
Guiding the heaven and earth aura of the Ling'er Fruit that had just been replenished in the body, constantly circulating the meridians and converging the sea of qi, the white jade chess pieces on the dantian qi sea did not move this time, and even the fierce blood drop essence did not have any vision.
Over and over again, the aura flowed through the meridians, and it was not until evening that Zhou Qilang opened his eyes, and the obvious spirit was several times better, the kind of gaze that penetrated the sun was enough to condense, and there seemed to be a dormant aura on his body, like a dragon and a snake, elusive.
There was only Zhou Qilang left in the meditation room, and there was still the Ling'er fruit left on the sandalwood table, and the little brother who quit the color seemed to be impatient, and he had already gone to the back cliff to discuss Buddhism with that Xuanqing.
"Finally broke through to the third layer of condensation, I didn't expect this Ling'er Fruit to be so powerful, with such a strong aura, why is it not recorded in the books" Zhou Qilang searched some books in his mind, and there seemed to be no record of this Ling'er Fruit.
Shaking his head, Zhou Qilang didn't think about it, he packed up the last Ling'er Fruit left, and it didn't have much effect if he ate it now, he could only use it if he wanted to break through to the fourth layer of condensation.
"Whew!"
Suddenly, a tiger roared between heaven and earth, shocking the entire Xuanzhen Temple, and the new monks in the temple were suppressed by this tiger roar at the moment, only those monks who stayed for a long time would hold the Buddha and chant a few Buddhist scriptures.
Zhou Qilang's ears hurt from the roar of the tiger in this life in the meditation room, and when he walked out of the meditation room, the sky was already dark, and the crescent moon was sparse and high, reflecting the plane tree in the east.
"This" Zhou Qilang was puzzled, looking at the direction of the back mountain from a distance, it seemed that there was a golden light there, illuminating the back mountain.
The mountain behind the Xuanzhen Temple has always been the forbidden place of the Xuanzhen Temple, where there is the Siguo Cliff of the Bodhidharma Patriarch, and there is the Zen room of the Xuanqing Master presided over by the Xuanzhen Temple.
Zhou Qilang had doubts in his heart, just broke through again, and happened to be idle, so he walked along the bluestone road, all the way west, towards the back mountain, and turned around, he came to the back courtyard door of Xuanzhen Temple, which was a very ancient kind of wall, gray and gray, and fell off a lot of stone skin.
Even the walls were covered with withered vines, and a rusty iron gate blocked the way, but it seemed to be hidden.
Zhou Qilang looked around, stretched out his hand to push open the iron door, squeaked, and strode out of the courtyard gate, which was a winding path and a long path, and a lot of green bamboos were planted on both sides, which were already as thick as thighs.
Not only that, but the trail was surrounded by a thin mist, mixed with a trace of aura.
There, Zhou Qilang raised his eyes and saw the glow in the sky flickering from a distance, and then a tiger roared in the sky, shaking the surrounding green bamboos and making a sound.
"It's so strong! it can't be a spirit beast that becomes a spirit," Zhou Qilang thought so and quickened his pace.
After a while, out of the bamboo forest, in front of the eyes is a cross-cliff, the mountain wind is howling, blowing up from the dark cliff bottom of the damp and wind.
Zhou Qilang stood on the edge of the cliff, looking down at a glance, he almost didn't stand firm, like an abyss, dark and deep without bottom!
A few gravels rolled down, and it took a long time to hear the sound of landing!
"Whew!"
Suddenly, there was a tiger roar at the bottom of the cliff, and it swept up with a super sound wave, and even some gravel was swept up by the sound wave!
The golden light flashed at the bottom of the cliff, and Zhou Qilang faced the wind, his eyes squinted and stared down, only to see a golden giant tiger shadow below, and two figures next to him.
Suddenly, the golden tiger shadow suddenly raised the huge tiger head, just a pair of tiger eyes glared angrily, Zhou Qilang felt that his soul was in turmoil, and he suddenly didn't stand firm and rolled down.
"Ahh
"Hey. ”
In a trance, with a sigh, Zhou Qilang only felt that his falling body seemed to be suddenly dragged by a divine force, and slowly descended to the bottom of the cliff.
"Hey, junior brother Xiaoqi, why are you here?"
Familiar voice, Zhou Qilang followed the prestige, the little brother was looking at him excitedly, and there was an old monk with a gray beard, kind eyebrows, holding a Buddha's hand, wearing a red and gold robe, looking like a monk who had attained the Tao and looked at Zhou Qilang with a smile.
And there, in a condensed golden tiger shadow, sat a middle-aged man in a yellow robe with his eyes closed and cultivating his mind, with messy dense hair, burly bronzed skin, and a majestic aura.
The surrounding air was stirred and stacked by the aura it emitted, and a faint golden aura surged from its body, circulating in all directions.
"Little Senior Brother, why are you here?" Zhou Qilang looked around in a daze, a little wary.
Jiese walked slowly, pointed to the monk who had attained the Tao and said, "I've seen the master soon." ”
"Master?" Zhou Qilang said suspiciously, looking sideways, the old monk in front of him, who was obviously sick but had a holy aura, turned out to be the most powerful master of Xuanqing Temple!
"Disciple, I've seen Master. Zhou Qilang bent down and held the Buddha in his hand, very respectful, after all, he was a high-ranking monk, and he didn't know when he became his registered disciple, although he had never seen it, but out of etiquette.
"Hmm. The host of Xuanqing nodded slightly, his gray eyebrows and beard floated without wind, with that faint smile, and then turned his head sideways, his chaotic eyes showed a fine light, looking at the burly middle-aged man on the platform not far away.
Zhou Qilang immediately looked over and asked the little brother beside him in a low voice: "Little senior brother, where is this? What's going on?"
"This is the retreat place of the uncle, tonight the uncle wants to impact the ninth layer of the infant, and the master is here to protect the Dharma for him. Jiese looked up, as if he was anxious to know the result of the middle-aged man on the cyan platform opposite.
"Uncle Shi? Yuanying Ninth Layer, what is the Golden Tiger Phantom behind it?" Zhou Qilang frowned in surprise, he could feel the strong aura mixed with the surrounding air, which was enough to tear people's skin, if it weren't for the divine Buddha power emitted by the Xuanqing Host here, it was estimated that Zhou Qilang would have been wiped out at this moment.
It turned out that someone was attacking the ninth layer of Yuanying! No wonder the momentum was so spectacular.
"Well, it is the Tiger Ancestor of the Temple, the contract spirit beast of the master, who has followed the master for a hundred years and has always protected the safety of the Xuanzhen Temple. The little senior brother said with reverence, and there was occasional light in his eyes.
"What, Contract Spirit Beast!" Zhou Qilang was startled, staring at the middle-aged man on the platform.
