Chapter 61: The Temple of Mushi
Eight people crossed the shore in a small boat, and the first thing that caught their eyes was three statues of gods and goddesses as high as ten zhang.
One left and one right, overlooking the earth, take a closer look, it turned out to be the supreme Taoist Sanqing patriarch.
In the middle is the Yuan Shi Tianzun, on the left is the Lingbao Tianzun, and on the right is the Taishang Laojun.
All people who want to enter the temple need to pass under the crotch of the Sanqing Patriarch to show their piety.
At the foot of Mushi Peak, where the Eagle Vulture Palace is located.
In addition to the pristine rocky cliffs around it, there is only one small entrance.
Standing here, you can't see the temple overhead, only this small entrance.
On the rocky cliff next to it are carved a few large characters: Mushi Temple.
There is also a couplet:
Shanglian: Eternal beings pray for heaven to fight for the world.
Downlink: Thousands of years of rivers and lakes to go to evil and help righteousness to protect justice.
It expresses the principle of obeying the law and following the principle of justice, which is also why the rivers and lakes support orthodoxy and uphold justice.
Go up to the first floor, Fahai.
There are hundreds of winding steps on this floor, and there are multiple crossings along the way, which lead to different houses or posts.
They went all the way up, to a platform, but it was relatively wide, from here down, the foot of the mountain peak in full view, can already see the city of Khotan, but here is only at the foot of the peak.
Further up, there are no steps, you need to take the ladder, the so-called ladder, is to hang people up by a pulley.
The ladder can only accommodate three people at a time, and no holes were found halfway, so they went up to the third layer of the Dao Law Layer, that is, the Eagle Vulture Palace, which makes people wonder, where is the entrance to this second layer?
Descend the ladder and walk on the wide corridor, which is a deep cliff outward, with a panoramic view of the scenery in the distance, and the eagle vultures hovering in the sky can be seen.
Approaching the entrance of the palace, the gate alone is several feet high, flanked by two giant eagle statues, the gate is also about the eagle vulture relief, and there are multiple openings in the walls on both sides, from time to time you will see the eagle eagle flying in and out of these openings.
Walking into the palace, it is not only magnificent and magnificent, but the first thing that catches your attention is the eagle vulture hovering over the palace, which can fly freely here.
Walking inward, the lights were bright, and I saw more than a dozen people waiting early from a distance.
Walking closer, Master Huizhi first spoke: "Poor monk Shaolin Temple Huizhi, meet the palace master." ”
The Eagle Spirit King replied bitterly, "The master is polite. ”
The True Dragon Sanxu also said: "The True Martial Sect Sanxu is a real person, meet the palace master." ”
Followed by Ning Jingzi, Qi Yijian, and Shi Chongsheng introduced themselves one by one.
Only the Ghost Shadow Knife was silent, and Master Huizhi helped: "This is the Ghost Shadow Knife Young Hero, and he is also a master invited by the conscious abbot. ”
The Eagle Spirit King nodded and said, "The young man has an extraordinary temperament and an extraordinary personality. It was polite, and then he turned to Huizhi and said, "Master, I don't know why everyone suddenly came to visit?"
Master Huizhi replied: "I took the liberty to come here because I was entrusted by the 'Five Righteous Heroes Alliance' to discuss important matters. ”
Yuan Xuan Dao Chang felt that the Eagle Spirit King's aura was steady, and he was a little puzzled: "Palace Master, has something happened in the Eagle Eagle Palace recently?"
Wind Eclipse wanted to conceal it: "Everything is normal, there is nothing abnormal, why does the Dao Chief ask this?"
Yuan Xuan Dao Elder replied: "Elder Wind Erosion, we have all traveled thousands of miles to Kunlun Xu, there is a very urgent matter, and I also ask the palace master not to conceal it, any abnormal things that happen here are all over ten related to the things we came to discuss this time." ”
The Eagle Spirit King thought about it and no longer pretended to be stable, coughed twice and said: "Yuan Xuan Dao Chief is the patriarch of the 'Five Righteous Heroes Alliance', and there is no need to hide it since there are important matters to discuss and wind erosion. ”
Feng Eclipse replied yes and continued: "You knights don't know, although there has always been a lot of estrangement between Khotanese City and the Eagle Vulture Palace, but it will not be a big fight. ”
"I don't know why, when the holy fire was praying for blessings last night, the Divine Tiger Gang suddenly came to Khotan City, and the city lord Chi Sula was together, and the other party suddenly killed the palace master and seriously injured the palace master, we are trying to find them for revenge, not to deliberately hide it, but we don't want everyone to worry too much. ”
Master Huizhi exclaimed: "It seems that we are still a step late, the other party has already made a move, and it is so unscrupulous." ”
After listening to it for a long time, Rishu asked with a puzzled expression, "Master, why are you here this time?"
Master Huizhi said: "The poor monk is trying to be enlightened, and he has to start with the "Nebula First Book". ”
When the Eagle Spirit King heard this, he exclaimed, "It's the Nebula Book again?"
Master Huizhi said: "Yes, it's the Nebula Xianshu again, a hundred years ago there was only one Tiannu Sect, and twenty years ago there was only one Candle Dragon Sect, and today it is the Dongchang Henchman Alliance. ”
"The Book of Nebula Xianshu" reappeared, Dongchang did whatever it took for this book, and all the sects related to this book had to be attacked by it, and the winners were destroyed successively, Fuwei Dart Bureau, Longxingmen, and now they want to shoot at Shaolin Temple and Eagle Eagle Palace, which is simply lawless. ”
After hearing this, Rishu said angrily: "Dongchang is really becoming more and more presumptuous, not to mention the trouble behind the back of the royal family, but also to attack the sect." Then he was puzzled and asked, "Then why is the Eagle Vulture Palace implicated?"
Master Huizhi said: "Because they want to restore the Tiannu Sect and help it find the "Nebula Ancestral Book" and dominate the rivers and lakes. ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and the Eagle Spirit King even stood up and exclaimed, "Are they trying to rescue the Heavenly Nu Sect Sect Leader Mo Yu Lianzhu from the Eagle Vulture Palace?"
Master Huizhi said: "Yes, this is the purpose of their trip, and our trip is to stop them. ”
Yanxu Zhenren added: "If the Sect Master of the Heavenly Nu Sect is rescued by them, his 'Yuanhua Divine Skill' is outside the Five Elements, which has never been seen before, and its Divine Skill can be quickly copied, just like back then, and it will be full of minions overnight. ”
Yuxu Zhenren also said: "The consequences of this are unimaginable, so no matter what, we must prevent them from restoring the Heavenly Nu Sect." ”
Qi Yijian said thoughtfully: "In that case, why don't you kill the sect master of the Heavenly Nu Sect with one sword?"
Unexpectedly, the people of the Eagle Vulture Palace and the True Dragon Sanxu shouted in unison: "No." ”
The rest of the people were also very surprised, and they didn't know why they couldn't kill the sect master of the Heavenly Slave Sect.
Seeing that the rest of the people were puzzled, Ri Shu broke the silence and said: "The sect master of the Tiannu Sect is involved in a wide range of things, and we have also thought about killing him a hundred, but there are too many doubts in his body, and it is not the style of the 'Five Righteous Heroes Alliance' to kill the murderer casually, if you don't investigate the cause and effect and figure out the ins and outs, it will be difficult to give an explanation to the rivers and lakes." ”
Qi Yijian listened to what he said, and nodded in agreement. Ning Jingzi was puzzled again: "Now that the sect master of the Heavenly Slave Sect has become the target of everyone, if he is not killed, it will inevitably bring more disasters, what is the explanation?"
Shi Chongsheng understood a little, and said: "Master Yan, killing the sect master of the Tiannu Sect may be able to solve the urgent need for a while, but it can't solve the urgent need of a lifetime, maybe there is a bigger conspiracy behind the Mo Yu Lianzhu." ”
"If you don't understand it clearly, kill it, besides, it's not certain whether the Tiannu Sect Sect Master can be rescued by the Dongchang henchmen, not to mention that there are so many of us here, how can we let them get it easily. ”
Wind Erosion nodded and said, "What the Lord of the Stone Gate said is very true. ”
Master Huizhi also said: "As far as we know, Dongchang has sent a kind of master of the Divine Tiger Gang to come to the nest, and Chi Sula, the lord of Khotan City, is also bound to win, so we should discuss countermeasures." ”
Feng Yi also said: "This explains why the Divine Tiger Gang wanted to kill the palace master last night without saying a word." ”
Only then did Hui Zhi react and hurriedly said, "Palace Master, it's all our fault that we're late." ”
The Eagle Spirit King coughed twice and said: "It's only the Divine Tiger Gang who is ruthless, and the palace is also blamed for being careless, it has nothing to do with you, you can come all the way to help, and the palace is grateful." ”
Master Huizhi said modestly: "The palace master is polite, the Jianghu sect has always obeyed the orders of the 'Five Righteous Heroes Alliance', and the Eagle Eagle Palace is the Five Righteous Heroes Alliance Alliance, and it is reconciled with the Central Plains Sect, and the Eagle Eagle Palace has a pivotal position in the rivers and lakes, and it is incumbent on us to come to help." ”
"First, it is related to the safety of our sect, and secondly, it is also to save the alliance sect from danger, and I also ask the palace master to recuperate from his injuries with peace of mind. ”
The Eagle Spirit King said knowingly: "Thank you, master, the injury in this palace is serious, and it will be difficult to heal for a while and a half, and there is a great enemy at present, and there are many old people." ”
Master Huizhi nodded and replied: "It's okay, this time I will never let Dongchang succeed, the palace master can rest assured." ”
Seeing that it was noon, everyone was tired, and hurriedly said: "You have not rested all the way, it is already noon, please go to the guest room to rest and eat, and we will discuss again in the afternoon." ”
Everyone saw that the Eagle Spirit King was seriously injured and should not be too tired, so they all readily agreed to rest and eat before making plans.
