An Elder Scrolls from Huashan?

Somehow, Ye Feng suddenly remembered the string of Buddha beads in his arms.

It was secretly stuffed to him by the late Fan Shanggu, the former head of the Huashan faction, before he died, and he also left a sentence: "The scroll is in Shaolin." (See Volume 1 Huashan Shock)

It's really hard to figure out what he means. Originally, although Ye Feng took the Buddha beads with him every day, he never knew what to use. It wasn't until Master Gai now mentioned the Elder Scrolls from Huashan that Ye Feng suddenly remembered that maybe what they were talking about was the same thing.

So he took out this string of Buddhist beads from his arms and handed it to Master Gai: "I don't know if the master knows this string of Buddhist beads?"

Master Likai took the Buddha beads and looked at them carefully for a while, then suddenly raised his head and looked at Ye Feng with a heavy face: "Where did you get this string of Buddha beads?"

Ye Feng hesitated for a moment, but still told Master Gai how they were buried alive in the secret passage, how Fan Shanggu avoided Tang Da and handed over the Buddha beads to him before he died, and Fan Shanggu's last words.

Master Reform pondered for a moment and sighed: "I didn't expect Master Fan to trust you so much." Well, since he thinks you're the one he can trust, I'll tell you everything. ”

Ye Feng's face turned pale, and he sat quietly waiting for what Master Chang was about to tell him, he had a hunch that this must be a very shocking secret.

Master Likai thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "What I know is what Master Songting Ziyan, the abbot of the previous generation of my master, told me personally, and all this has to start with the head of the Huashan faction back then, He Zhi Zhenhe. At that time, the abbot of Shaolin was still the world's famous Yueyan Yongda Zen Master, it was the former Yuan Dynasty to the Yuan Dynasty, Kublai Khan called the emperor, the world had just been pacified after the war, people were at ease, and the officials of the Yuan Dynasty were not as corrupt as they were later, so for the people of the world, the children of Shaolin Temple have been concentrating on studying Buddhism, and have not participated in anti-Yuan activities, and rarely have dealings with other sects on the rivers and lakes. Until one day, He Zhenren suddenly visited. ”

This was already an old thing more than a hundred years ago, and Ye Feng listened carefully to Master Chang's narration intently.

He Zhenren was very old at that time, and he personally went to Songshan, which shows that the stakes are very high, so Master Yongda received him with a very high standard. The two talked secretly in the room for three days and three nights, and no one could get close to them except for the little novice who delivered tea and rice, and naturally no one knew what they talked about. Three days later, He Zhenren left Shaolin and returned to Huashan, and later within two years of He Zhenren's departure, Master Yongda suddenly resigned as abbot and went into seclusion. It wasn't until six years later that He Zhenren suddenly drove to the west, and Master Yongda returned to Shaolin Temple to continue to serve as the abbot until he passed away. ”

Ye Feng was puzzled when he heard it: "Why? What is the connection between the two?"

Master Likai said: "Actually, He Zhenren brought something from Huashan and handed it to Master Yongda, and the reason why Master Yongda resigned as abbot and lived in seclusion was to study this thing secretly. It's a pity that six years have passed but nothing has been found, and Master Yongda understands that the content contained in this thing is really vast and profound, and he can't answer one or two questions with his life's strength. After hearing that He Zhenren was gone, he felt that his health was not as good as before, and he was afraid that this secret would be buried under the loess with him, so he returned to Shaolin to serve as the abbot again, looking for the next generation of successors. Before his death, he personally told his successor to the abbot, who was seventy-two years old at the time, that he would continue to look for good people to unravel the secret of that thing, and this secret was passed down from generation to generation by the abbots. ”

Master Likai stretched out his hand and took out a string of Buddha beads from his arms, which was also made of nine Buddha beads that were green and crystalline, and he put the two strings of Buddha beads together, they were exactly the same in color and size, and they were clearly a pair.

He said to Ye Feng: "These two strings of Buddha beads are actually a string, made of eighteen jade beads of the same size and color, which are the beloved things of Master Yongda. When he accepted the things sent by He Zhenren, he divided the string of Buddhist beads into two, and he and He Zhenren each held a string, only to be used as a token after unlocking the secret of the thing in the future. This Buddha bead and secret are only passed on to the head and abbot master of the Huashan faction and the successor of Shaolin, I can't imagine that the Huashan faction has undergone such a great change now, and it is rare for the head of Fan to trust you so much in the predicament, and these two strings of beads can meet for the first time in more than 100 years. ”

Ye Feng hurriedly asked, "What exactly is that thing that He Zhenren brought?"

Master Likai glanced at Ye Feng a little mysteriously: "It's the Elder Scroll from Huashan that I mentioned earlier!"

He paused and continued: "It is said that He Zhenren was an active member of the anti-Yuan activities, and he once gathered a group of anti-Yuan righteous people to dig a secret passage to store the goods and weapons needed for the anti-Yuan activities, and inadvertently dug a secret cave left over from ancient times. ”

Speaking of this, he sneered: "Unintentionally, the ghost believes it, such a big Huashan actually allowed him to dig through the secret cave more than a thousand years ago by coincidence, who would believe it if there was no map? But He Zhenren has been immortal for a hundred years, and there is no way to verify this." ”

Ye Feng nodded, expressing deep sympathy.

Master Ligai continued: "In any case, He Zhenren dug through the ancient secret cave, and more importantly, he found a scroll left by the ancient in a secret cave in the secret cave. ”

Ye Feng's mind suddenly appeared in the secret cave where he and Tang Da met the deadly golden toad, it seemed that someone really took the lead and took the scroll in the black stone box, and who was the golden toad beast who used the golden needle to blind his eyes and shut it in the stone box?

Just thinking about it, Master Ligai said again: "Although He Zhenren got this scroll, but it is full of ancient characters, no one knows it, he has studied it for many years, visited many Confucian scholars, but he can barely tell that this scroll is left by the ancient demon god Chiyou era." In desperation, he remembered the Shaolin Temple, which is not only a Buddhist scripture, but also a collection of many ancient books, known as the place with the largest collection of books in the world. So He Zhenren took the scroll to Songshan to visit the abbot Master Yongda, Master Yongda read a lot of books, very knowledgeable, when he saw the scroll, he couldn't put it down, and he also wanted to unlock the secrets inside, so there was what I talked about earlier. ”

Ye Feng was only dumbfounded when he heard these secrets from more than a hundred years ago, but he also slightly solved some of his doubts in the secret cave of Huashan.

At that moment, he asked: "So have the senior monks of Shaolin for more than 100 years interpreted this ancient scroll, and what secrets are recorded in it?"

Master Likai smiled slightly: "Where is it so easy! Not to mention that the words inside are all pictographs similar to pictures, which have not been used for a long time, no one knows them, and they can only find similar ones from some classical books, which is extremely difficult to interpret." In terms of texture alone, it is not the skin of any animal we have ever seen, it is tough and soft, and it has not been damaged for more than a thousand years, I really don't know what kind of animal it is?"

Ye Feng's face was full of disappointment, and he still couldn't unlock the secret on the scroll after saying for a long time.

Master Likai smiled faintly when he saw Ye Feng's expression: "But it's not all for nothing, after years of unremitting research by my master, Master Zi Yan, and me, I found that there are similarities between some graphics and words recorded in another book and this scroll, so there must be a connection between the two." ”

At this time, he glanced at Ye Feng and said, "Including the strange dragon-shaped pattern on your body, which has appeared on both the scroll and this book. ”

When Ye Feng heard that it was related to the pattern on his body, he was in high spirits and asked, "Then what kind of book is this?"

The master asked rhetorically, "Have you ever heard of pushing back pictures?"
