Chapter 6 The Alarm Bell Rings
The alarm bell of Mount Meru has not sounded for a thousand years. Because the heritage of Mount Meru is too deep, there is no way to threaten its existence. The last time the alarm bell rang, it was during the Great War of Sealing Demons, the most critical moment, and as now, the alarm bell rang for a long time, and the Demon Sect hit the foot of the mountain.
This alarm bell sounded, which meant that all disciples should immediately participate in the battle. No matter how high or low your cultivation is, as long as you can move, you have to participate in the war.
As a disciple of Buddhism, although Wan Fan has a low realm, he is obligated at this moment. Ignoring everything else, he got up and joined the ranks of many disciples and ran towards the foot of Mount Meru.
Wan Fan is just a peripheral disciple of Mount Meru, although he is an orthodox disciple, but because the realm is too low, the Luohan Hall is at the outermost part of each hall, that is, the closest place to the gate of Mount Meru.
After a while, Wan Fan came to the gate of Mount Meru with everyone, which was crowded with people, and all the disciples of Mount Meru were here.
And here, in addition to seeing the elders of the sect with solemn faces, Wan Fan also saw a substantial force guarding in front of everyone, this transparent power like an energy shield is the scene after the opening of the Sumeru Mountain Guardian Array.
The alarm bell rang for a long time, the Guardian Circle opened, and all kinds of signs made Wan Fan feel the seriousness of the matter.
Several Buddhist monks were suspended in front of the crowd, and they were outside the circle, facing the people outside.
Wan Fan found a position, looked up, and found that there were some strange characters dressed in various costumes opposite, each of them fierce and vicious, their clothes were mainly dim colors, and their eyes showed a fierce aura. It is in stark contrast to the Buddhist monks.
"Mount Meru. Hey, hey, hey. A cold voice suddenly came.
Wan Fan looked up and found that behind those fierce people, there was a small man standing out in the crowd. He was only two-thirds the height of a normal person, and he was extremely thin, his back was still curved, and his face seemed to have only a thin layer of skin wrapped around his bones. Because his body was wrapped in a wide robe, and only his face and hands were exposed.
The hands were also dry, and the long nails were black, as if they had been soaked in poisonous water for thousands of years.
Although he was wearing a wide robe, he could easily see that his body was still dry and thin, as if it were a dried corpse that had been dead for a thousand years.
"What are you doing when you gather at the foot of my Sumeru Mountain?" Xuankong said, holding a tin staff.
"Old bald donkey, all say that the family doesn't speak, you know why we are here, but you still knowingly ask, is Mount Meru as fake as you?" said the thin man, his tone was still very cold, as if the coldness was engraved in his bones.
"The donor's words are good, but I really don't know what the donor is doing this time. Xuankong said unhurriedly: "The donor is located far away in the southern Xinjiang, and I am very far away from the East Wilderness Sumeru Mountain.
As soon as these words came out, the disciples below also understood that the other party was from southern Xinjiang, and it was not difficult to guess the identity of the other party based on their momentum and dress.
Although Wan Fan came late, he also guessed at this moment that the other party should be a member of the Demon Sect.
The man laughed coldly and said, "It's not been a day or two since your Buddhism and my Demon Sect celebrated. The people in my Demon Sect never hide anything when they speak, we are the Demon Sect, we are the Demon Sect, and we don't need other words to cover it. And unlike you, who keep saying nothing, but ask many times knowingly. Some of the habits of this Eastern Wilderness are still infected by Mount Meru. Is it the Buddha who has transformed mortals, or the earthly things that have transformed Buddhas?"
"Demon cult fanatics are going to talk nonsense there. Puben snapped.
"Buddhism is so big. If we want to be crazy, we are far inferior to this Mount Meru. Mount Meru claims to be the savior of the entire world. My Demon Sect has never said that the devil is the world. "The cold man is not in a hurry or impatient, but he does not have the recklessness of the Demon Sect that ordinary people know.
"Donor, we don't want to have a verbal war with you, if there is nothing else, please leave. Xuankong said.
"Monk Puhang hasn't come back yet, and when he comes back, you'll know what you Buddhism owes us. The cold man said, from beginning to end, he did not have any scruples because this was Mount Meru, the base camp of Buddhism.
'Boom'
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud bang suddenly erupted in the distance, and a great battle had broken out there.
As a result, Xuankong changed color and flew out directly with a tin staff.
Seeing this, the cold man's temperament changed suddenly, and a shocking power suddenly erupted in his thin body, and a ghost-headed big knife appeared out of thin air in his hand, and his thin body was extremely incommensurate with the wide knife body, as if he was going to collapse at any time, but the man suddenly shook the big knife and slashed down directly.
In the face of the stormy waves that erupted from the cold man, Xuankong looked weak, but he was not afraid at all, and raised the tin staff above his head, resisting the ghost-headed broadsword.
'Boom'
This is a collision between magic weapons, it is clear that two mountains collided together, shaking the earth and trembling.
Rao is like this, but Mount Meru has not moved at all, and the waves are not alarmed. Everyone in the circle only felt that the sky was dark, but there was no substantial damage.
"All the disciples below Fuhu Hall have returned to the mountain. Humpty Dumpty and Shang Puning said loudly.
The disciples in Mount Meru are strictly divided according to their cultivation, and Wan Fan is the most basic Arhat Hall, and then above is the Dharma Hall, and above the Dharma Hall is the Fuhu Hall.
Only disciples with a higher realm can enter the next hall to cultivate.
After Pu Ning finished speaking, he got up and flew out, leading a few disciples to go out directly to meet the demon path.
After all, this is the base camp of Buddhism, and the Demon Sect can't turn the sky. After Puning and the other senior monks left, someone immediately sent the disciples below the Fuhu Hall back to the mountain.
In fact, in the midst of the Sumeru Mountain Circle, there is no danger at all. But the Buddhist monks are afraid of any accidents, and the Demon Sect does everything they can, so they have to guard against it. But among the orders of Fuhu Hall to return to the mountain, in fact, only the Luohan Hall and the Dharma Hall were in the ranks of returning to the mountain.
Because the disciples of these two sects have the lowest cultivation, if there is a real accident, they are the most dangerous.
The disciples of the Fuhu Hall blocked the outside of the disciples of the Arhat and Dharma Halls, escorting them back to the mountain.
Wan Fan glanced back at the last moment and saw that several disciples around Pu Ning were also very young, but the monk robes on their bodies were far from comparable to those on Wan Fan and the others. Wan Fan knew their identity at the first time—disciples of the Descending Dragon Hall.
Wan Fan returned to Mount Meru with everyone, and everything outside was naturally unknown. The disciples in the mountain were whispering in groups.
The enemy has attacked in front of Mount Meru, which has not happened in a thousand years. The disciples speculated and were a little uneasy. Today's Demon Sect is too strong, they are not afraid of Mount Meru at all, and even dare to come directly to the mountain to provoke.
Wan Fan stood alone on the side, he faintly felt that although the Demon Sect was menacing, the monks of this sect should not be afraid at all, I am afraid that in the hearts of the monks, there are hundreds of ways to retreat from the enemy.
It is not unreasonable for Wan Fan to think so, if Mount Meru is really beaten to the moment of life and death, how can Puning still have time to let the disciples of the Luohan Hall and the Dharma Hall return to the mountain quickly. Moreover, the war started just now, but no demon sect people came straight to Mount Meru, indicating that they were also afraid of the magic circle of Mount Meru.
The reason why the people of the Demon Sect stayed outside the mountain and did useless work, Wan Fan guessed that it was probably related to the white-eyed monk who had been missing.
I have to say that Wan Fan is indeed extremely smart, and he guessed the ins and outs of the matter in just a few glances.
It's just that in the end, Wan Fan still has a trace of loss in his heart. Not for anything else, he has been cultivating for twenty years, and he is still in the Luohan Hall, this is a piece of Wanfan's heart, he doesn't believe that he is completely stupid to such a point, but the facts are in front of him, and he can't believe it if he doesn't believe it.
What happened just now also pierced Wan Fan's heart again, and the Luohan Hall and the Dharma Hall retreated to the mountain because the disciples of these two halls were not strong. But when you look up, there are many younger disciples here, they are still young, and it is understandable that their cultivation is not good, but they have been cultivating for 20 years, but they still haven't been able to step out of the Luohan Hall. Now that the teacher is in difficulty, he can only be the group of people who are protected.
It is only when something actually happens that the uneasiness that lies in people's hearts is revealed. Wan Fan has never panicked like today, he is afraid, he is afraid that he will stay here for the rest of his life, and he will not be able to improve a point in his life.
Wan Fan was picked up by Huijing from the foot of the mountain, he doesn't know where his parents are, he has lived in Mount Meru since he came into this world, but until now, he has nothing extraordinary.
'Buzz'
The hurried alarm bell rang again, pulling Wan Fan back to reality from his cranky thoughts. The alarm bell of Mount Meru sounded because of the invasion of a strong enemy. But inadvertently, the alarm bell in Wan Fan's heart rang.
He had never been so eager to change, but he was as helpless as ever.
The shouting and killing outside shook the sky, even at the foot of Mount Meru, the Demon Sect was fearless.
A few golden rays of light appeared, even though they were separated by a high mountain gate, Wan Fan, who was still reflected, couldn't open his eyes. The golden Buddha light illuminated everything, and Wan Fan believed that under such a Buddha light, any evil demon would only end up in ambush.
Sure enough, after the golden light fell, the mountain gate opened. Many people walked in, starting with a few disciples of the Fuhu Hall, followed by a large group of people. They surrounded a person like stars and moons, but they were too far apart for Wan Fan to see who that person was. It's just that I intuitively feel that it is not a Buddhist person.
In addition, the white-eyed monk who hadn't shown up for a long time also came back, but now he is in a very bad state, covered with bloodstains, and he doesn't look like a monk at all, but like a soldier who has just come down from the battlefield.
Although they were not close, Wan Fan could see that the breath of the white-eyed monk was very weak, and it was extremely difficult to walk. At this moment, he was being helped in.
"Great, the big devil is coming. Quick, go and ring the alarm. The white-eyed monk said intermittently, and then fainted directly.
Most of the disciples around him don't know why, because the alarm bell of Mount Meru has been ringing, why do they need to ring it again?
Puben strode in, his robe was also stained with blood, and after hearing the disciples around him repeat the words of the white-eyed monk, his face changed, as if he knew something extremely terrifying.
I only heard Pu Ben say to the disciples around him: "You guys quickly send Puhang Master Ancestor back." ”
Then he turned back to the people behind him and said, "Take him away and wait for the abbot to be released." ”
After Puben finished speaking, he walked away quickly without looking back, as if he was going to do something big that could not be delayed.
Wan Fan glanced at the crowd suspiciously, at this moment he was sure that the person there was not a Buddhist person, according to his guess, it should be a person from the Demon Sect, because Puben said to escort away.
But what kind of character is it that makes Mount Meru fight with the Demon Sect, and the alarm bell of Mount Meru rings for a long time.
On the other side, everyone was ordered to leave, and Wan Fan and other low-level disciples were sent back first.
Wan Fan had no choice but to leave, but before he could walk back to his residence, he heard a sudden change in the sound of the alarm in the air, which was very different from the previous bell.
Meanwhile. In the higher part of Mount Meru, after hearing the bell after this change, there was also movement.
