Chapter 2: The Underground Palace (I)

The strange rocks on the mountain are craggy, overgrown with weeds, full of potholes, unable to run quickly, the mountain is rugged, Shi Sheng has overcome thorns and thorns all the way, through dense grass, gloomy and dense forests, with his own cultivation, he also climbed for nearly half a day, before climbing to the halfway up the mountain, Shi Sheng's heart speculated, such a steep peak, at least you have to enter the arcane realm to cultivate the martial arts, in order to climb.

Shi Sheng walked out of the grass, there was a long stone staircase in front of the steep meeting, along the mountain Xiangshang, there was no end in sight, it was like a road to the sky, Shi Sheng was happy, there was a road to show that there were people here, it seemed that it was indeed a villager under the mountain, I don't know the things in the mountain, originally with their physical fitness, they really couldn't climb such a strange peak.

Shi Sheng stepped on the stone steps, his feet slipped, the stone steps were covered with moss, the stones were seriously weathered, and there was a lot of damage, it seemed that it was in disrepair for a long time, and it was abandoned into such a state, and I don't know how long no one came.

Shi Sheng along the stone steps up, the pace is fast, this can be faster than their own road, faster I don't know how much, less than half an hour, then came to the top of the mountain, surrounded by a piece of snow white, covered in silver, full of snow, at the end of the stone steps stand two broken huge stone pillars, the fracture is smooth, as if cut off by a sharp blade, there is a large pile of gravel on the ground, it seems to be a huge stone plaque, it was broken and left, two of the gravel is very huge, can vaguely distinguish a "west" word, and a "temple" word.

Shi Sheng was amazed, most of this place is Xitian Temple, I don't know why, the temple gate was cut off, even the stone plaque was broken, it seems that Xitian Temple has suffered a big attack.

Shi Sheng jumped over the pile of stones and walked forward. There are many Buddha statues, incense burners, the courtyard is empty, thousands of houses, all have been dilapidated, like a frozen kingdom like ruins, all the incense burners have been broken, all the Buddha statues have no heads, according to the remaining traces, some Buddha statues have their heads broken, some have been cut off, many Buddha statues do not even have their hands and feet. Even the swastika on the chest. It was also destroyed.

The surroundings were quiet, no one was silent, only the cold wind, whirring and whispering. Weeping and complaining. Shi Sheng's heart was terrified. All signs indicate that Xitian Temple must have suffered a catastrophe, and it seems that someone has specially carried out the act of destroying Buddha. Shi Sheng sighed in his heart, after all, the world is impermanent, after a thousand years, the sea can also be turned into a mulberry field, and the Xitian Temple, which was prosperous in the past, is dilapidated to this point, which is also a common thing.

Shi Sheng lived in the deep mountains of Yanyu Island when he was young, and did not contact the outside world, and after years of tossing and turning, he either practiced alone or fled for adventures, and did not have much opportunity to understand the Blue Country, and did not know, hundreds of years ago, the Blue Mountain Kingdom had a great tide of exterminating Buddha, which was a real national mobilization, and the entire Blue Country, all the large and small monasteries, were destroyed by the warriors and people of the Blue Country, and all monks and nuns were forced to return to the vulgar, and those who did not return to the vulgar were killed!

A tragic case of exterminating Buddha, which lasted for more than ten years, set off a bloody storm, killing corpses like mountains, blood flowed like rivers, many virtuous monks died unexpectedly, until the blue country, there is no temple, no monk, no nun, see bald head, must be a leper.

Hundreds of years ago, Xitian Temple is one of the most well-known large temples in the Blue Country, known as the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism in the Blue Mountain Kingdom, in the tragedy of destroying Buddha, Xitian Temple bore the brunt of the tragedy, was destroyed by angry warriors and nationals, became a ruin, Xiaomilou Mountain, the well-known Foshan, no longer patronized, gradually became a barren mountain.

For hundreds of years, the hatred of the Buddha of the warriors of the Blue Country has not decreased but increased, but the hatred of the people has gradually faded, and only some people of insight have hated the Buddha to the bone.

Although Shi Sheng didn't know the allusions of the year and saw the situation in front of him, he also knew that the Xitian Temple had been abandoned for a long time, and he was secretly worried in his heart.

Shi Sheng sighed, thinking in his heart that he could only look for it again, so he walked along the ruins of Xitian Temple and came to the back mountain of Xitian Temple.

Although Xitian Temple is located at the top of Xiaomilou Mountain, it is not at the beginning of the peak, and Xiaomilou Mountain is very majestic and huge, the top of the mountain stretches for dozens of miles, there is a section of hundreds of zhang high mountain tip behind Xitian Temple, that is, the back mountain of Xitian Temple.

Shi Sheng came to the back mountain, and immediately rejoiced, look at the terrain of this mountain road, as well as the tombstones, this back mountain must be a cemetery, and the ancestral tombs of the mountain king must be here.

Shi Sheng walked along the road, one by one to check the tombstone, although the weathering is serious, but can vaguely distinguish the text on the tablet, thousands of stone tablets, Shi Sheng looked for more than an hour, only to find the ancestral tomb of the Mountain King.

Shi Sheng took out the incense and candle paper money, broom, sickle and other things he bought in Sanhe City, cleaned up the weeds and shrubs around the tomb, cleaned it up, and then burned incense, candles, paper money and other things in front of the tombstone, and said: "The younger Shi Sheng, I have come to sweep the graves and worship the ancestors on behalf of Gu Dingtian and other remnants of the Mountain King Department, although the Mountain King Department is ...... Only suffered a great disaster, but there will be people who will survive, and in the future they will be able to recuperate in the Shakya Department, and they will be able to prosper again and revitalize the past majesty, and I hope that the ancestors of the Mountain King Department will bless the Mountain King Department, and please ...... Bless the wolf's teeth, the younger generation would like to thank you. ”

Shi Sheng made a few deep gestures, when he bent down, he stumbled upon the foot of a tombstone, there was an inconspicuous cracking wind, Shi Sheng was curious, walked forward, stretched out his hand and gently pushed the tombstone, who knew that under a push, the tombstone should be turned, the ground rumbled with a muffled sound, a hole appeared, and the snow fell down.

Shi Sheng was surprised and surprised, looked at the bottom of the cave, a black and swarthy piece, nothing could be seen, Shi Sheng has always been bold, immediately lit a torch, drew out two life swords, crossed the chest, jumped into the hole, but saw that the bottom of the cave is a stone corridor tunnel, a few zhang away there is a corner, I don't know where to lead.

Shi Sheng looked around, but saw that the surrounding stone walls were bare and very weathered, thinking that this tunnel had been built for many years, and I am afraid that it would not be lower than the age of those tombstones above.

Shi Sheng boldly walked forward, turned left and right in the tunnel, and advanced along the stone corridor, the whole tunnel is oblique Xiangxia, and it must have gone deep into the mountain.

Shi Sheng cautiously walked out hundreds of zhang, and suddenly opened up in front of him, and a long stone hall appeared, and a row of stone statues were displayed on both sides of the stone hall, all holding swords and swords, and the forms were different, revealing a strong killing atmosphere.

Shi Sheng walked into the stone hall and walked along the decaying red carpet, and saw a stone platform at the end of the hall, on which a transparent crystal box was placed, which was vaguely visible, and there seemed to be a jade slip in the box. (To be continued......)
