Chapter 203: The City of the Sunset
Through the influence of the Punjab beast spirit, Jonah saw that Jekong, who wanted to betray the Great Prajna Temple when the Buddha was in turmoil, and at the moment when the southerners swung their knives to cut off their brotherhood and fight with Zuta, the astrologer suddenly felt a pain in his head, and was forcibly pulled back to reality with a hum. Oops!" He sat up with his head covered, and when he opened his eyes, Zuta was holding the little white mouse in his hand, and there was a bit of anxiety on his face: "It's a little troublesome, come with me." β
Without hesitation, Jonah jumped out of bed and followed Shadow Garan out of the hut, turning out of the courtyard door along a gravel path. At this time, he also noticed a vision around him, the empty square began to twist and deform, the stone floor trembled undulatingly, and a huge ball of fire rumbled in the sky. He staggered and ran, feeling like he was inside a giant egg that a mischievous child was tossing and spinning and playing.
After running for a few minutes, I couldn't see the small courtyard where Fang was just now, there were no buildings in the boundless square, every inch of the ground was surging like waves, the thunderous sound shook the sky, and even the air began to crack hideously. Zuta suddenly pulled his hand, "Go in!" Jonah felt his eyes darken, and then brightened, and he was surprised to find himself entering a majestic hall of the Great Majesty, where the "Ugly Face" Liche, the Venerable Gaowusha, and the Star Picker were standing at the door of the main hall to greet him, and the majestic door was crowded with many people, but all of them were silent.
A crack opened in the air behind him, and Zuta squeezed in from the void and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "The first layer of the enchantment has collapsed, but the space is still in a state of chaos, and no one can find the location of the second layer of the enchantment in a short period of time, so it is safe for the time being." β
"Okay, come in and take a break. The Great Swordsman nodded.
"What the hell is going on?" Jonah asked, gasping for breath and looking around at the scene. Standing at the door of the main hall and looking out, the entire space was wrapped in a layer of flowing white thick mist, needless to say, a kind of spatial enchantment.
"Ugly Face" Liche did not speak, and led everyone into the Daxiong Treasure Hall, where an extremely eye-catching majestic monk in the crowd greeted him. Standing in the crowd, you can see that he is at least two heads taller than others, and as he approaches, he looks more and more tall and mighty, Jonah can barely see the monk's face clearly, and unexpectedly, this giant man who can almost be compared to Tannapo has a delicate and elegant face, with long eyebrows and flowing lips, ruddy lips, bowing slightly, and opening his mouth to make a nice male voice: "Master, all Tanyue, please come with me, and serve tea in the inner hall." β
"This is the leader of Kuligara, the Elder of the North Town Pilu Monastery, Shejuni Jiewax Drink. Zuta returned the salute with his palms together and whispered.
"In Sanskrit, the name means 'ghost of beasts,'......" Jonah was stunned for a moment, "and in Sanskrit, the name means 'ghost of beasts'...... Why is the name of the Buddhist temple elder so strange?"
The star picker pinched him hard from behind, and said sternly in his ear: "Don't be unreasonable! Pilu Monastery is the only temple in the Buddha country that accommodates different kinds of Buddhist practitioners, and it is dedicated to the Buddha of Ruyi Perfection Reincarnation, Vilushena, who accommodates the practice of the three evil realms such as the Hungry Ghost Path, the Hell Path, and the Animal Path with a great compassionate mind.
The astrologer reacted immediately, "You mean...... I see, I'm sorry!"
The group followed Elder Shejuni to visit the Buddhas in the middle of the Mahavira Hall, and then went around to a clean place in the apse and sat down to drink tea on the **. Don't look at Elder Shejuni's frighteningly large body, but his movements are extremely gentle, and the series of actions of taking teacups, boiling water, grinding tea cakes, washing cups, and making tea are full of dexterous and feminine strange beauty, "Venerable Gaowusha, please." He obviously also had great respect for the withered old monk, and took the lead in serving the teacup.
"I got it. The old monk lightly touched the green teacup with his fingers, and the tea turned into a burst of steam and dispersed into the air, and there was not a drop of water left in the teacup.
After everyone had drunk a cup of tea, "Ugly Face" Liche said, "The operation started early?
The tall monk in the crimson robe bowed slightly, and said in the lingua franca of the Southern Continent: "This is how things are. We had a powerful helper to confront Brahma head-on and make it easier for Kurigala to act, but this man did not show up for a long time, and we had no choice but to send an arrow, and we agreed to launch it in four days at the same time in all seven great cities of the country, burning all the Vedic temples and killing all the infidels in one fell swoop. However, just a few hours earlier, this powerful help had appeared, and at his suggestion, Kuligara had decided to launch an operation called 'Anoli' in advance, and forty golden-winged carbas flew to the branches, and the operation of the seven great cities began at the same time. In Maharaja alone, 23,000 believers took part in the action......"
Zuta, who was beside him, translated Yona sentence by sentence, "Anoli, which means 'nectar fire.'" The astrologer nodded, then shook his head, "On such a large scale, it's a war......
β...... The devotees who could not fight gathered in the Great Prajna Monastery enchantment to prevent the Vedic pagans from counterattacking, but it seems that they had already discovered this place, and only hoped that the second layer of the enchantment would last a long time until the warriors returned victoriously and the light of the Dharma shone again on the land of Veda. Elder Shajuni said aloud.
"If the second barrier is breached...... the Great Swordsman began.
"I wish to incarnate Shura in this person. A strange smile of joy and sorrow appeared on the elder's lips, and Jonah faintly saw the reflection of two sharp fangs......
After drinking a table of tea, Elder Shajuni invited Venerable Gao Wusha to check the situation of the barrier, while the others still sat in the room and chatted casually. Jonah had a very strange feeling in his heart, when the outside world was a world of swords and swords, countless people were slaughtering in the name of faith, the smoke was burning and the blood was flowing, but he was sitting in a safe and warm room, drinking tea and chatting. This contrast reminded him of the days in the Astrology Tower of the Red Clay Plains, where the Joint Amnesty Decree allowed him to walk leisurely in troubled times, watching the buildings around him fall, listening to the wails of death, everything was so far away from him, and the soft and smooth flesh under his feet did not touch him in the slightest, but it was completely different from his state of mind at that time, and at this moment Jonah felt deep guilt and uneasiness,ββWhy? Knowing that he was powerless to stop a cruel war about faith, this sense of powerlessness was clearly blaming his heart, why?
Suddenly, everything in the chamber faded, and the 17-year-old boy floated in the darkening space, and the soul fire above everyone's head began to glow, the brightest one was naturally "Ugly Face" Richie, whose soul shone with a gorgeous silver light, and the most strange was Zuta, the soul fire of Shadow Garan and his abilities were the same dark turquoise blue, seemingly cold, sometimes scorching.
"Miss Rose!" Jonah cried out as he was no longer amazed at the scene.
"Listen, this is the fourth tip I've ever received. "Due to the early launch of the coup d'Γ©tat, the eye of the storm in Maharaja has become the place where the wind is most intense, and at the same time, the powerful forces of the Brotherhood have been pursued near the city of Prince and may pose a threat to you at any time. Time and space are full of uncertainties, and we must actively look for the most likely future. Good tip: Now leave the Kurigala headquarters, pass through the tomb of Prince Moro and enter the city of Maharaja, then leave through the east gate, without looking back, and continue to the northeast until you reach the bank of the holy river. At that point, the next prompt will appear. Did you actually receive this prompt?"
"Yes, Miss Rose. The astrologer had no time to think, and first replied in the affirmative.
"Good luck, betrayer blood. Ross Ross stopped talking. Everything brightens, the light of the soul disappears, and the others are noticing, except for the "ugly face" Richie who seems to glance at him,ββ in fact, the eyes blocked by the mask can't see which direction he is looking in.
"Mr. Liccher, I have just received a prompt from the listener that we are to pass through the Mausoleum of Prince Moro and enter the city, and then leave through the east gate, and continue to the riverbank. Jonah reported.
The Great Swordsman immediately stood up and made arrangements without doubt: "Zha, find the Venerable Gaowusha, Zuta, the Star Picker, let's go." β
"Entering the city, the listener is crazy, and now the city is an assura field, 23,000 Buddhists and tens of thousands of Vedas are fighting, and the demigod generals are also in the city, not to mention Brahma, one of the 'Twelve Shadow Thrones',ββ there is no more dangerous place than there!"
The Great Swordsman had already walked out of the door, leaving a message: "Do not question the correctness of the listener." Even if it is the betrayer's own decision, we are obliged to obey. After all this time of joining the ghost's left hand, you still don't have this awareness?"
"Enlightenment...... I just hope to make the right decision......" said the Star Picker, stroking the bloodied bandage on his chest.
The astrologer had the same question in his mind, but staying in the Great Prajna Temple Barrier would become even more dangerous once the Brotherhood's pursuers arrived. The group found Elder Shajuni to explain the situation to him, and the tall monk did not express surprise, he crouched down and looked into Jonah's eyes with extremely clear eyes, "I heard what you said, in fact, I am a man-bear in the mountains of the northern part of the country of Veda, an inhuman between a monster and a beast. In you, I feel a very special power, that the people around you are all Buddha-minded laymen with great wisdom and great compassion, and I hope that you can experience suffering and attain peace and auspiciousness. β
A warm glow shone from Elder Szejuni's palm, and his large hand gently caressed Jonah's head, and the astrologer felt a shudder of comfort from the depths of his soul.
