Chapter 7: Mochizuki-ji Temple

According to history, more than 300 years ago in the Tianyuan Continent, the pattern was just like the present, the states were on guard against each other, each of them was in their own way, their strength was relatively average, and they paid attention to the golden mean, ruled by inaction, and the war was difficult to start, that period was also considered to be peaceful, who expected that a catastrophe would fall from the sky, an alien invasion, and a regime that could not be twisted into a rope was broken one by one, falling apart, day and night, Shenzhou Lu sank, and at the moment of imminent destruction, the people who had lived in this land for a long time finally reached a consensus, elected a leader, led the last military force to counterattack, and finally drove the alien race out of the Tianyuan Continent, The leader who was tempted by power, raised the butcher's knife at the celebration banquet, the nobles of the family who had been inherited for hundreds of years, the meritorious generals, were not spared, and the agreement to return the land was naturally abandoned, so that the first unified dynasty of the Tianyuan Continent was ushered in, and the seeds of revenge were also planted。

For this widely circulated story, the monk is no stranger, not to say that he heard calluses, but at least he is familiar, if he does not sit in the position of presiding, he may not be able to touch the secrets of that period.

Three hundred years ago, thanks to the practice of praying for blessings, the core lineage of Mochizuki Temple, known as the Great Compassion Method, enabled people within a radius of 100 miles to survive the famine, and it is rumored that they can communicate with gods and men through the heavens.

When he first entered the temple, he was still a small novice, and he had fantasized that he would learn this method in the future and become a praised monk and go down in history, even if it was limited to this place.

But the six roots are not pure, how can the avenue be spoken, let alone take over the mantle, after many years of daz, it is just an ordinary monk's voyage, naturally not qualified to participate in the temple blessing ceremony, frustrated, alone came to the mountain stream cliff, because the direction is opposite, according to common sense, whether it coincides with the grand ceremony, or want to watch the scenery, will not come here, but never thought, life has taken a turn.

Until this moment, the ferry still remembers the scene of the meeting, the sky has just been brightened, the fog is thick, the lush grass is still hanging with dewdrops, the early spring in the early morning with a hint of coolness, some frustrated sailing, the purpose of coming here is obvious, nothing more than to be quiet, after passing through the silent woods, the impression of the mountains surrounded, suddenly appeared a slender back, in this regard, a little puzzled the voyage, with doubts stepped forward and said" If the donor is here to observe the ceremony, but he has found the wrong place, it is still early, why not let the little monk take the donor over, so is it good?"

Hearing the inquiry, a Tsing Yi turned around, with distinct facial features, smiling, not as delicate and delicate as imagined, but very resolute, especially a pair of dragon eyebrows, showing a noble atmosphere, slightly looked at the ferry in front of him, and then said, "There are a hundred kinds of people, the scenery is different, if it is constant, no unconventional, little monk, where do you get to eat?"

Du Hang didn't understand what the other party said at that time, but he felt that his voice was very attractive, and he planned to leave after seeing the other party finish speaking, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a ghost, so he mustered up all his strength and shouted, "Incense money!"

It can be regarded as subtle, whether it is to go up the mountain to view the scenery, or to worship the Buddha with incense, the inner picture is stable, and some money will be honored, the temple itself is not a mandatory fee rule, most of them are out of the incense people's will, the man in Tsing Yi knows, suddenly shouted such a voice, the figure was stunned, and then turned around and looked at the ferry with some playfulness, after pondering for a while, he took out a booklet from his arms and threw it to the sailing, "Little monk, there is a kind, I am very optimistic about you, meeting is fate, I didn't bring money today, make do with it." ”

Du Hang hurriedly took it, only to see a few big words written on the booklet: Rulai God Palm.

When he turned back again, the man in Tsing Yi had disappeared from view, Du Hang returned to the temple in a daze, and was waiting to study the practice cheats in his hand, the host looked for it that night, and asked about the experience of the morning, Du Hang retold the situation at the time, and the cheats were naturally not mentioned, after talking, the host felt that Du Hang was very talented, so he accepted him as a disciple, personally taught the true meaning of Buddhism, the inclination of resources, and the teaching of the host, and finally let Du Hang take over the mantle of the temple as he wished.

When he first heard this secret, he was confused, and once thought that it was caused by the master's delirium, until he experienced it himself, and only then did he understand the other meaning of the man's words in Tsing Yi, the inheritance of his heart, which is both a lie and a proof.

It is rumored that there was a short period of cultivation in the Tianyuan Continent, all kinds of flying sword magic weapons emerged in endlessly, and the magic power could penetrate the heavens and the earth, the so-called alien races were not as recorded, they were people of different skin colors, and they were other creatures living on this continent, but later, the heavens and the earth changed, and the aura was exhausted, so that the times collapsed, and there were two endings to this statement, one is that it cannot withstand the washing of the years, just like a normal person dies of old age, and the other is to escape the world, or it has opened up a channel and left this world, with the passage of time, no matter which kind of statement, there is no relevant evidence, and it is slowly diluted。

The strange things that emerged were also occupied by the local sects, and they were dedicated to the ancestors or the power of heaven.

The monk who crossed the voyage had such a rule: the establishment of the Mochizuki Temple originated from three hundred years ago, an ascetic monk passing through this place, who was enlightened by the Buddha in the dark, stayed here, and paid the rest of his life as a price, in exchange for God's mercy, to rescue the poor people on the verge of life and death, so there was a spring tide.

In fact, a Buddhist disciple with the Dharma name of Puhui and a little success in cultivation, when passing by this place, he saw that the former city was already dilapidated, empty inside, lifeless, only the remnants of the fallen wood and stones, and felt a little wandering spirit, so he stayed here and recited the mantra of the past life to help liberation.

A day later, Puhui stopped chanting, slowly opened his eyes, the first thing that caught his eye was a man dressed in a black robe, sitting on the man, maybe he was too focused, he didn't notice it, Puhui secretly thought, under careful observation, I saw the man's crane hair and childish face, resolute face, revealing the majesty from the superior, deep eyes seem to have an inexplicable suction, people dare not look at it, considering the age and cultivation, Puhui wanted to come forward to salute, but the other party opened his mouth first" Thou art not good at cultivation, but thy mind cultivation is acceptable, and when you think of merit, you will be given an opportunity, remember to make good use of it, otherwise there will be no return, just wait here for three days. With that, he disappeared in front of his eyes.

In addition to being shocked, he knew that he had met the universal benefit of the master, and after standing for a long time, he returned to the same place, and the sound of chanting echoed again.

Three days later, the sky was clear, and dark clouds suddenly came, just covering the sky over Pratt & Whitney, and then the heavy rain fell, and Pratt & Whitney, who was sitting on the ground, came from behind him an indifferent question, "You are the messenger?"

Looking back, I saw a girl about fourteen or fifteen years old, standing not far away, snow-white skin and a white dress, which can be called a heavenly harmony, long black hair, a pair of crystal eyes, clear and clear, bright as stars, a moderately small nose, thin lips like delicate petals, like heaven and man crossing the earth, the long-term Puhui also fell into sinking, when he came back to his senses, first with an apologetic face after seeing the ceremony, before he said, "I was instructed by my predecessors to wait here." ”

The girl frowned slightly, and then said, "At this time of year, the tribute will be paid on time, and the envoy will tell the honorable driver, and I hope to abide by the three-hundred-year covenant." With that, the girl turned and walked towards the sea.

Before and after the combination, Pratt & Whitney roughly guessed the answer, and it was only at this time that he found out that the rain that fell failed to fall on the girl.

After hesitating for a while, Puhui followed the girl's footprints to find the past, only to see the calm sea, suddenly rising monstrous waves, in Puhui's thrilling shock, lapping on the beach, slowly fading, leaving a box and a large number of fish and shrimp.

When the sky returned to clear again, Puhui cautiously stepped forward to check, and when he got closer, abundant aura came to his face, and the so-called opportunity was a huge amount of cultivation resources year after year.

Puhui is kind-hearted, naturally there is no idea of monopoly, back to the temple more than 100 miles away, after explaining the matter to the host, there has been Mochizuki Temple since then, with the depletion of aura, the states began to attack each other, with the arrival of a large number of fleeing people, and the girl before, after renegotiation, the thing containing spiritual energy, has become a rare treasure, and the collapsed city, but also under the joint efforts of Mochizuki Temple and refugees, re-established.

...............................................................................................

Dawn continues as usual, and martial law continues.

The streets, which were extremely lively yesterday, are now nothing but moving iron armor and cavalry shuttling back and forth, all of them are ordered to close their doors and wait for the sergeant to come to inspect them, and the same is true for all shops, needless to say, and there are no more to say, let alone those who have a relationship.

Huo Er walked out of the resident's house, his expression was languishing, his face was slightly pale, for no other reason, after the 'cloud claw' appeared last night, they received an order: to check all the foreign population.

At first, Huo Er refused in his heart, what are you kidding, the people who have poured into the city in the past few days have at least tens of thousands, just such a few people, how easy is it to investigate?

Huo Cheng also thought so, so he arched his hand to the herald and asked, "Dare to ask my lord, what is the matter?"

The herald shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific situation, but the whole city garrison has been dispatched, hey, as long as you see these two people, you can call loudly, and there will naturally be friendly neighbors to help, listen well, even if it is just discovered, failure to arrest is a great achievement, but if the jurisdiction is not cleared and is seen, not only will you lose your head, but your family may also be implicated, but don't blame me for not reminding you." After speaking, he handed Huo Cheng a portrait, and then rode his horse to the next intersection.

Huo Er's meritorious service was earnest, as if he didn't listen to the serious consequences, he only focused on listening to the reward in front, seeing that his uncle frowned and looked at the drawings in his hand, he hurriedly ran forward to look, and then frowned, and said to Huo Cheng on the side, "It doesn't make sense, uncle, just these two people, they don't seem to be as old as me, what can they do, it's worth making such a big fanfare." ”

Huo Cheng put the drawings into his arms properly, and said solemnly, "What do you know, the level of a cultivator is often not judged by age alone, and then he will follow me, don't run blindly, but just ask for no fault, don't think about it, forget the old and young in the family?"

Hearing this, Huo Er could only nod in frustration.

Where is the highest place in Mochizuki City? Naturally, there is an observation tower located at the east gate, which is built for the nouveau riche from other places to watch the tide, and at this time of year, there are three people standing in the building made of giant logs.

The man in white is naturally the Canglan in Xiang Nanchen's mouth, only to see him holding the table with both hands, looking at the marks that are constantly marked on the city defense map with a frown, he has not yet arrived at the scene last night, he heard a signal from afar, and then issued a red order, after knowing the actual situation, he urgently dispatched the garrison to assist and search the whole city, now, the range that has not been marked on the map, only less than two percent, there is still no news, anxious and at the same time feel that it should be, after all, the moment the decision is made, it is not expected to be so easy, but at the moment, let's not talk about the seriousness of the result, even if it is a fluke success, it is very troublesome, Cang Lan secretly thought about glancing at the person standing beside him out of the corner of his eye.

A man in a black power suit, with his hands folded around his chest, leaned against the pillar, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

The last person standing in the building is the rare lord of the martial arts mansion on weekdays, Ding You, who cultivates to be quiet, but in the face of the two of them, he has to run errands and keep marking on the drawings back and forth.

Xu was affected by the suppressed emotions of the watchtower, and the sky above became much darker.

............................................................................................

Mochizuki-ji Temple's prestige in this place is undoubtedly transcendent, and the already spectacular long queue is approaching, and the road leading to the temple has become more congested due to the lockdown.

Looking at the sergeants standing every ten zhang on both sides, the cavalry running back and forth, and the travelers who were being interrogated at the foot of the mountain in front of him, Yun Tianyou couldn't help but touch his face, and asked in a low voice to his side, "Is it really useful?"

The pock-faced man on the side, looking at Yun Tianyou, who had a scarred face and a beard, patted his chest very confidently and said, "Big brother, you can put 10,000 hearts, it's all right." ”

The story has to start from last night, although the situation is unknown, but the two who don't want to get into trouble, with the help of Zhang Qining's invisibility talisman, successfully escaped from the encirclement, during which Yun Tianyou took the time to run to the grasshopper Zhai, leaving three copper plates, and then took the map, after the two came to the outside of the city, the invisibility talisman just failed, and they found a secluded place, and then fell into silence.

The reason is that after arriving here, Yun Tianyou was sitting cross-legged on the ground, looking at the starry sky very intently, and Zhang Qining, who mistakenly thought it was some kind of exercise, also seemed to learn it in a similar way, so after a long time, Zhang Qining, who was interfering with his eyelids, said helplessly, "Big brother, your old man is talking about the exercises, or the luck route..."

When Yun Tianyou heard this, he said inexplicably, "What exercises?"

"What was the big brother doing just now, isn't it just looking at the stars?" Zhang Qining asked suspiciously.

"Ahh Yun Tianyou nodded.

Zhang Qining said with a flattering face: "Don't tease me, old man, how did you exert the power of the talisman so fiercely before?"

Having said this, Yun Tianyou couldn't help but fall into contemplation, when he first came here, he didn't know the aura in his body, and naturally he couldn't distinguish it, but after that, in the process of coming here from Qifenglou, he had been trying, and the results showed that it was indeed as Dugu's grandfather complained, the aura was exhausted, and it could not be perceived, and the aura in the body was also a little less when it was used, thinking of the difference between the two using talismans before, it was no wonder that Lu Xiangye was of great use later, Yun Tianyou thought secretly, looked at the ring marks on his hand, and then shook his head and said" It's not that I don't want to, but I can't tell you, sorry. ”

Zhang Qining, whose face was full of disappointment, replied in frustration, "Since this is the case, I don't force it, what are the plans of the eldest brother in the future?"

Speaking of plans, Yun Tianyou's spirits perked, the other party's exercises are so peculiar, I think it must be a sect that has been inherited for a long time, and some secrets are naturally known, which can avoid a lot of troubles, especially Zhang Qining's expression, which is particularly direct, not as polite as Li Chengye before, and he is also a temperamental, so he said, "The main purpose of this trip is to follow the orders of the elders in the family, and to find some predecessors and descendants, the age is a little old, about three hundred years, I don't know if Brother Zhang has any relevant records?"

"This..."Zhang Qining scratched his head and thought about it, and then said" On inheritance alone, it must be more than enough, but when it comes to records, then it can't help, big brother, you don't know, the younger brother is also a wonderful flower in the cultivation world, first of all, there is no fixed mountain gate, just enter the door, and find a deep mountain at will, build two wooden houses, it's over, although the environment is simple, but for cultivation, it's still very good, the master personally teaches the exercises, if there is anything you don't understand, you can quickly get the puzzle, boil the muscles and bones and the medicinal materials required for follow-up cultivation, are also very well-prepared, the improvement of the realm is called a fast, but when the cultivation is a little successful, the situation has changed, I remember that day, the younger brother was to go to the master's room as usual to ask for peace, the result was good, enter the door to see, people go to the empty building, only on the table left some self-defense charms and a letter, the content roughly means: you kid is so self-conscious, Lao Tzu still has to enjoy life, not to accompany him, if you don't die outside, remember to find an apprentice to continue the master's incense, gone. So, I packed up and went down the mountain, and I happened to hear passers-by talking about the landscape here, and then this is the current situation. ”

If what the other party said is true, then it is not much better than himself, wait a minute, isn't it?Yun Tianyou suddenly said, "Brother Zhang's performance in Qifeng Tower before is obviously not the first time, right?"

Hearing the other party mention this matter, Zhang Qining said with a dry smile, "I said that it was passed on by the sect, does the eldest brother believe it?"

Yun Tianyou pondered for a moment, then nodded, and then asked with some hesitation, "Regarding the talisman, I wonder if Brother Zhang can reveal a thing or two?"

Zhang Qining thought for a while and muttered, "It's not impossible, the premise is that you have to worship me as a teacher first, big brother....."

In the end, even Zhang Qining himself felt that it was not quite right, not a question of the title, I remember that when I first started, Zhang Qining once asked the master, about the question of the talisman, and the answer was: Fu is the magic weapon of communication between people and gods, not easy to imitate, it needs to cooperate with the spirit, gather the spirit of the heart, and from the heart, the gods came with the pen, so, it is only the most basic charm, the effect is general, it is best to have the best spiritual materials to study ink, the cultivation of the feather of the spirit as a pen, and then paint with its skin, so that the talisman array can exert the greatest power, but unfortunately what I just said, it is all the business of the grandfather's generation, and now in this world, it is difficult, Lao Tzu went up the knife mountain and went down to the sea of fire, worked hard for most of his life, and went through a lot of hardships, so he drew these talismans on his body, hooked the yin and yang between the heaven and the earth for use, and listened to the mighty and domineering and the cards, but it was really as the older generation said, compared with the hastily drawn talisman when the aura was abundant, it was not as good as just in case, wrong, it was just shit.....

Zhang Qining looked at each other thoughtfully.

Hearing that he needed to apprentice, Yun Tianyou naturally knew that he was not embarrassed by himself, but it was just because of the rules of the teacher, and he had no opinion on this, but if he really worshiped the other party's teacher, if there was something in the future, it would inevitably have an impact, so he gave up after thinking about it, and then said with a smile, "The situation is similar, just think it's a missed fate, what about you, where are you going to go next?"

'Huh?' Zhang Qining was a little stunned.

"I said, what are you going to do after that? Yun Tianyou repeated it again.

Zhang Qining, who came back to his senses, changed his previous playful attitude, and asked with a solemn expression, "The aura has long been exhausted, why is Brother Yun able to mobilize it?" Right now, without talking about secrets, I just want to know if the aura really exists, and if it can be believed, I hope to tell you." After saying that, he got up and clenched his fists.

Yun Tianyou's expression was a little complicated, and then he nodded helplessly, after all, the other party's sect has been inherited for so long, it is impossible not to know, if it is only about aura, it will be fine.

After getting the confirmation, Zhang Qining was a little relieved, a little happy, and even a little expectant, and said, "So, since the eldest brother is interested in Fu Zheng and has aura, it is worth making an exception." ”

It's easy to understand and easy to get at your fingertips, but Yun Tianyou always felt uneasy, and after thinking about it again, he finally chose to refuse, "Frankly speaking, there aren't many left, even if you learn this technique, it's not much different from you, so I won't think about it." As he spoke, he gently patted his abdomen.

"Can't you add it from heaven and earth?" Zhang Qining asked, and without waiting for the other party to answer, he slapped his mouth in annoyance.

Seeing this, Yun Tianyou smiled, and his gaze returned to the sky again.

Soon after....

"Big brother means that there are a lot of people to seek, all over the continent?"

"Hmm. ”

"Isn't that just right, anyway, the little brother also plans to travel to various states, stop by the way, together?"

"Uh... Okay, too. ”

"By the way, I heard that Mochizuki Temple also has a history of nearly three hundred years, they should have a record, why don't we go over and ask?"

"Didn't you say it sooner?"

"Didn't you just remember it, oh, by the way, I'll have to change my face tomorrow. ”

"Well, otherwise... Wait, what are you talking about?"

Then in Yun Tianyou's surprised eyes, Zhang Qining ripped off his face, revealing his original face, which was different from the previous public face, at this time, he had a fair complexion, a touch of handsomeness in his delicate facial features, and his thick eyebrows also became a pair of sword eyebrows, and his peach blossom eyes were the same as before, but now, he added a bit of evil temperament.

"Change your face, when you go out, how can you show your true face, if you are accidentally targeted, how troublesome it is. As he spoke, he skillfully took out a human face from the cuff compartment and carefully covered the face.

Yun Tianyou watched silently, until the other party felt that it was almost over, and when he turned around again, he had already become a pock-faced man in the ordinary market, and while secretly calling for magic, he scratched his head and asked a little shyly, "Yes..." Superfluous?"

I was thinking that there was no mirror, and I was about to ask Yun Tianyou to help and see if there was anything inappropriate, but I heard the other party's inquiry, and asked with some surprise for a while, "Big brother didn't make a disguise?"

"Hmm. Yun Tianyou replied.

Originally, I thought it was like myself, so I didn't care too much about my face, but now I looked at it seriously, and I saw Yun Tianyou, with black and translucent hair tied together with white bands, and his complexion was slightly fairer than his own, and he had sword eyebrows, a pair of slender and sharp Danfeng eyes, thin and lightly pursed lips, and angular outlines, which seemed to be sharp, but gave people a feeling of loneliness and uninhibitedness, as for the figure, both of them belonged to the kind of slender and well-proportioned type, after a little sigh, Zhang Qining pretended to arch his hand and said" The eldest brother deserves to be the eldest brother, he is really a fairy descending from earth, extremely handsome, and the younger brother is willing to bow down. ”

Yun Tianyou, who was a little ridiculous, didn't know how to answer, so he simply kept silent, but fortunately, the other party was just naughty, and soon handed over a piece of dough, but it looked a little dark.....

After some tossing, the transformed Yun Tianyou touched the beard on his face a little speechlessly, and then looked at Zhang Qining, who was rolling back and forth in front of him, laughing and laughing, sighed, and went to find a place to sleep by himself.

After the sky drew a white fish belly, the two of them climbed out of the tree hole together, thinking of the role they were currently playing, so they didn't bother to clean up, and went directly to Mochizuki Temple.

Simply came early, the two people at the front of the team, it didn't take long to move to the foot of the mountain, more than 100 sergeants wearing iron armor, holding spears, hanging horizontal knives from their waists, strong figures, eyes decent, should be deliberately arranged here, as a deterrent, the few people in charge of inspection, are all dressed as generals, from the process of view, it seems to be extremely experienced, but all men, in addition to comparing portraits, will also reach out left and right to test both sides of the cheeks, to see if they are dressed in disguise.

After all, Yun Tianyou was disguised for the first time, especially the process was not difficult, so naturally he didn't have much confidence, and finally after talking about the two of them, he glanced at Zhang Qining, who blinked a few times, and didn't know what he wanted to say, and after a little sigh, he stepped forward.

A general with a huge waist and a round waist asked while comparing the portrait in his hand, "Name, where is home, and why are you here?" ”

Yun Tianyou replied in a deep voice, "My lord, the villain's surname is Wang Mingye, he is from Hengyang City, and he came to repay his wishes." ”

Hearing that he was coming from Hengyang, the general nodded slightly, and checked it casually, which was to let Yun Tianyou pass easily.

Hengyang is the closest city from here, and the number of people who come to watch the ceremony and view the scenery every year is naturally the largest, so before coming, the two discussed the statement, after all, the suspicion is the lowest, but what they never expected is that the general who checked Yun Tianyou happened to be from Hengyang City, and he already had some good feelings, especially Yun Tianyou's dress, his face was fierce, and he looked like a person who worked hard in the market all the year round, and the general lived in general, so that he would just make a little appearance.

And Zhang Qining, obviously did not have such treatment, and honestly completed the whole process, but fortunately, he finally passed the inspection without danger, and Yun Tianyou, who climbed the steps and looked back, was also slightly relieved, and while thinking about asking about the refining method afterwards, after Zhang Qining walked over quickly to meet, he walked towards the mountain.
