Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Man Under the Temple (Part II)
The Man Under the Temple (middle)
A golden light broke through the roof of the ruined temple, and it didn't last long before the golden light faded and then dissipated.
Xu Changan closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in the golden light, and when the golden light faded, he also slowly opened his eyes, and then the jade talisman fell into his arms.
When he opened his eyes, he only felt a little more comfortable, but in other aspects, he didn't feel the slightest change. But in Jian Wuxing's eyes, this little marquis seemed to have more inexplicable majesty than before, especially when this little marquis had just opened his eyes, he almost couldn't help but bow down to Xu Changan, as if he had seen a living Buddha.
It's just a moment, though.
Jian Wuxing pinched his palm, looked at where Xu Changan was sitting, his brows furrowed into the word "Chuan", and his heart was full of worry.
Xu Changan stood up, he hurriedly walked over and looked at the position where Xu Changan had done.
Following his gaze, Xu Changan realized that there was a Buddhist swastika symbol above his position just now, but now the symbol is still there, but there is no aura at all.
It seems to have become a handicraft carved by craftsmen for large families, losing its original effect, and even the slightest red sword qi can be seen raging in this Buddhist gate swash character engraving. Like the wind of the Northern Barbarian winter, it wants to tear the earth apart.
"Be careful!"
Jian Wudaunt suddenly shouted, pulling Xu Changan away, and the two of them took a few steps back at the same time, and the swastika symbol carved by the craftsman suddenly exploded, and the entire ruined temple was filled with sword energy. Sharp but not sharp, it blows on the face like a cold wind.
"What is this?"
Xu Changan was a little shocked, and he also had some guesses in his heart.
"Senior, senior, are you still there?" Jian Wudaunt didn't pay attention to Xu Changan, but instead shouted towards the ground. The sword qi in the broken temple slowly disappeared, falling into silence, and the sword fearless heart sank.
He glanced at this little marquis, originally wanted to send some creation, but he didn't expect it to be in this situation.
"What's going on?" Xu Changan looked at Jian Wuda, whose face changed, and hurriedly asked.
Jian Wudaunt sighed, raised his head and glanced at Xu Chang'an, and then said, "Little Marquis, you broke it just now, but it's the seal of Lingyin Temple?"
Xu Changan nodded and waited for his next step.
"There is a senior under this temple, and that is the seal, as long as the person who comes in with the token to break the temple, no matter what the qualifications are, no matter what the character is, the seniors under the temple will give two points. According to His Royal Highness the Grand Prince, there are only three tokens. One was given to me, one is now in your hands, and the other is missing. ”
"This senior kendo attainments are all over the world, I am grateful to the love of my predecessors, and his old man has made an exception to guide me a few times, so I can get to this point. ”
Xu Changan's eyes widened when he heard this, and he had never heard of such things.
Besides, if there really was a senior who was sealed here, the Master would not have known about it.
Jian Wudaunt seemed to see Xu Chang'an's doubts and spoke again.
"According to the eldest prince, this ex
He was sealed here before the Holy Pilgrimage was established, and he only learned of this news occasionally. As for the food of this senior, it is this mountain. ”
"This mountain?" Xu Changan's eyes widened in embarrassment.
"Yes, I don't know where the senior's cultivation has been, and I haven't seen the senior. However, I once heard from my predecessors that he fed on the mountains back then, and even caught some insects, snakes, rats, and ants from miles away. At the beginning, I also listened to the words of the eldest prince, brought a few bottles of good wine and some hot food, and my seniors would say a few more words to me. So much so that every other month, I came to this ruined temple to listen to the teachings of my predecessors. ”
Hearing this, Xu Changanyan didn't know what was going on.
He knew that what he had just done should have broken the seal of the Buddha Gate, and the old man took the opportunity to leave.
Xu Changan smiled bitterly, feeling a little more grateful to the eldest prince in his heart, and at the same time feeling a little more guilty about Jian Fearless. If he didn't come, the jade talisman given to him by Master Zhiyi would not have absorbed the Buddha's light just now, and it would not automatically break the seal, causing Jian Fearless to lose a big chance.
"I'm sorry!" Xu Changan lowered his head and drooped his head.
Jian Wudaunt sighed, patted Xu Changan's shoulder and said, "It's okay, my predecessor told me that the way to learn swords, it is the heart that looks." If the heart is strong, and the sword is harmonious, how can you have some understanding. The guidance of other people's words is just an introduction, and the important thing is to see how you choose and how you understand!"
After saying that, Sword Dauntless smiled freely.
Xu Changan did not feel a little less guilty in his heart because of Jian Fearless's words, but became more and more guilty.
"It's really okay, I've only heard the voice of that senior, before I came to this broken temple, put down the food first, go out and wait for a quarter of an hour, and then come back The food is gone. Moreover, the voice of the senior seemed to come from underground. Those days were like a dream. The seniors I had never met taught me swordsmanship and encouraged me to practice. If his old man is sealed underneath, it would be good to be freed as soon as possible. ”
Jian Fearless smiled and said lightly.
Xu Changan gave him a smile back, and suddenly an old voice came.
"Boy, do you really think so?"
When Jian Dauntless heard this voice, his face was happy, and he hurriedly knelt on the ground, knocking his head twice.
"Senior, are you still there, isn't the seal broken?"
The old voice was silent for a while, and then said again: "But with the seal of those stinky bald donkeys, can you seal me? It's hard for you, and I specially brought a little bald donkey to help me break the seal." ”
Shicai, the senior, was asleep, and he didn't listen to all the conversations between the two, let alone hear Jian Wudaught's name for Xu Changan.
When Jian Wudaunt heard this, he was slightly embarrassed, and he could only bite the bullet and say, "Senior, he is not a bald donkey, and he also came in with a token." ”
The old voice paused, and then came laughter.
"He's really not a bald donkey?" he seemed incredulous.
"Seriously, the juniors dare not deceive the seniors. ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of laughter. At the same time, the whole temple began
Trembling, Xu Changan and Jian Wudaunt looked shocked, glanced at each other, and hurriedly stabilized their figures.
"Good, good, old bald donkey, you lost. ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly said, "Come in quickly, I want to see what that man looks like?"
After that, another burst of laughter came, and it seemed extremely happy.
The small temple shook again, and when the laughter gradually subsided, the old voice said: "There is a secret door behind the broken Buddha, you two can come in from there!"
Hearing this, the two of them nodded, then turned to the back of the Big Buddha with the food box, and sure enough, they found the secret passage.
This secret passage is not hidden, this temple is small, almost no one will come here, so no one will find out.
The two of them went down the dark tunnel and soon came to the underground.
It was pitch black below, and there was silence all around, not even the sound of rats or the like, thinking that rats had been beaten by this senior all these years.
Suddenly, the red sword qi flourished, like a gentle wind filling the entire secret room, and at the same time illuminating the entire secret room.
"The kid who knows "Crossing Life", come and show me!"
The two looked around, but they didn't find anyone.
"Look at what, here!"
The old man's voice reappeared, and the two of them heard the sound and left, and finally saw the senior in the corner.
His body was already covered with dirt, almost integrated with the wall, and his hands were raised high, as if he had held up the temple.
It shouldn't be "as if", but he is one of the support points of this temple, and it is indeed he who holds up this broken temple.
The two came to the front of the old man, especially Jian Wuxing, and when they saw this old-timer, they immediately put down the food box and kowtowed respectfully a few times.
The old man didn't care, two essences shot out of his eyes, and he looked at Xu Changan.
"Will you "Crossing the Life"?"
Xu Changan nodded.
"You're not a monk?"
Xu Changan nodded again.
"Have you learned almost all of the exercises of the six major sects?"
There was a hint of expectation in his eyes, Xu Changan looked at his eyes, actually forgot to cover up, and still nodded.
"Shushan Li Yishan is your master, and he learned the "Breaking Sword Technique"?"
When Xu Changan heard this, there was surprise in his eyes.
According to what Jian Wudaunt said, this senior has held this broken temple for at least 20 years, and he can actually tell the name of the lame, and he also knows the "Broken Sword Technique"!
"Are you a Sword Mountain senior?"
Xu Changan hurriedly asked, there are not many people who know about this broken sword trick and Li Yishan now, and this person in front of him can say this, except for the old man of Jianshan, he really can't imagine who else?
"Lao Tzu is not him!"
Xu Changan was obedient, and there was a trace of disappointment in his eyes, but he didn't show it.
"But I also know some of his rubbish "Sword Breaking Technique"!"
