Chapter 16 There are many small secrets in the royal temple
In the inner courtyard of Ximing Temple, Li Bing quickly found the location of the medicine room according to his memory. He Anzi rummaged through boxes and cabinets for a long time, but he didn't even find one of the three pills he needed.
Sure enough, the medicines that were registered by the Imperial Pharmacy would not be put together with these ordinary pills.
Out of the pharmacy, the two walked around the inner courtyard room, most of them were disciples' meditation rooms, and they could see through it at a glance, those medicines would definitely not be here.
As you walk, you will see an open window in front of you.
Hearing that there seemed to be a voice inside, Li Bing tiptoed to the window, thinking of peeking at it. But I didn't want to, and the two people in the room were also staring at the window, just looking at each other.
He was shocked, and hurriedly took half a step back, and ran away.
"That wasn't the ......," the man in the room said halfway through, and then stopped when he saw the other person next to him nod.
This person is the first "Jingwen" of the Ximing Temple Translation Hall, and the other person in the house is the abbot "Jingshan". The two sat across the table, talking about things, and when they heard movement outside the window, they looked over and happened to see Li Bing.
"Amitabha, let him go!" the abbot probably guessed Li Bing's plan.
"Senior brother...... But if he really took the imperial medicine, Ouchi will blame him......"
"There are priorities. Qianhua Xingfang is a universal medicine for harm, and it is a great merit for us to help each other. The abbot said halfway, and then stood on his chest with one hand to become a Buddha:
"Amitabha, as for Ouchi...... On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the anti-thief assassinated, we were indeed busy investigating the anti-thief in the temple, and the traitor stole the royal pill during the accident, although we were derelict in our duties, I want to come to Your Majesty to be magnanimous, and we will not blame it too much. ”
Jingwen understood at the moment, and also presented the Buddha salute with one hand: "Amitabha, what the senior brother said is very true, maybe it is the elixir stolen by those thieves." ”
While the two were talking, the tips of the abbot's ears moved slightly, and the people in the window clearly did not go far.
He smiled faintly, and his voice was slightly higher: "There are many people today, so I will bother my junior brother to check it, and those pills hidden in the underground dark room of the 'Hidden Scripture Building' should not be stolen by someone with a heart." ”
Jingwen looked at Jingshan and looked at the window, and also understood that he was pointing at Li Bing, and pretended to reply decently: "Yes, senior brother, I'll go later." ”
"When you go out of the tower, you must remember to check the candles, pass through the pavilion, and don't catch fire!" Jingshan sighed meaningfully at the window: "You...... Do you understand?"
Li Bing leaned against the wall, heard the words inside clearly, grinned, and whispered to the house: "Thank you, Abbot!"
After speaking, he gave Anzi a look, and the two turned around and walked towards the Tibetan Scripture Tower.
In the meditation room, Jingwen heard the two of them walking away, and asked again, "Senior brother, do you want me to go and have a look." There's a lot of stuff in there, don't let him take something else......"
"Dignified son, he is afraid that he will not look down on those Buddhist scriptures inside. But after he comes out in a while, it would be safer for you to check it out. ”
Jingwen nodded yes, still had other worries, and frowned slightly: "But in case he finds the bottom of the tower......"
"No, it won't. It's still winter......"
Saying that, Li Bing's side, the two entered the Tibetan scripture tower, looked around the first floor, and no longer stepped forward.
On both sides of the room are bookshelves, where many scriptures and classics are placed. In the center is a statue of Manjushri Buddha: two people tall, yellow clay body, painted with various colors of bright and bright.
There is a tribute table in front of the Buddha statue, except for some simple melon and fruit tributes, only a furnace of incense, two candles, and an open stone box next to it, which is placed in the fire fold to make a fire.
There were candlesticks, but they were not lit.
"People go out and don't extinguish the incense", this is the rule of the scripture building, and the prevention is that once there is a fire, the entire building of the classics will be burned.
Looking around, Li Bing still didn't find the entrance to the secret room: "Just now the abbot reminded us to check the candlestick, so it can't be that there is a mechanism there." ”
Li Bing grabbed the candlestick with one hand and looked at it carefully, it was just a very ordinary copper candlestick.
On Anzi's side, the candlestick was fixed on the table, he turned it with his hand, and there were two clicks at the bottom of the platform, and after the Buddha statue of Manjushri trembled slightly, there was no other movement.
"Where is this secret passage?"
Li Bing tried to push the image of the Bodhisattva, but there was no response. Anzi was still sharp-eyed, and lifted the red cloth on the tribute table, and sure enough, a floor tile under the table sank, revealing a hole.
Descending nine steps, there is a secret room. Because it is underground, there are no windows, and the inside of the room is pitch black, so you can only take a general look.
This room is not only narrow, but also has a short clearance, and Li Bing is standing inside, with the top of his head almost touching the ceiling.
Before coming, Li Bing didn't expect to go to such a black-lit place to find pills, let alone that Ximing Temple still had such a dark grid, and he didn't have any preparations.
Still Anzi was clever, turned back to the first floor, lit the candlestick on the left side of Manjushri's tribute table, held it in his hand, and just wanted to go back to the secret room, he waved in front of the Bodhisattva and said, "Bodhisattva real person, I will borrow it, and return it when I am finished." Please don't blame me. ”
After saying that, he kowtowed three times before returning to the underground secret room.
On the right hand side is a bookshelf, Li Bing glanced at it, and there were some very important scriptures and classics, most of which looked very old.
In the middle is a three-tiered shelf, and on the bottom are some wooden fish, bowls, and robes. I'm afraid it's something that has been used by Buddhist saints and monks, and there are a few classics in between, but this time it's not Buddhist scriptures, but martial arts secrets.
"Bodhidharma Long Fist", "Ximing Twenty-three Sticks", "Mingguang Zen Jue" and so on, Li Bing has never heard of these martial arts. But if you can put it here, maybe it has a lot of origin.
On the top of the shelf, there are rows of bottles and cans, large and small, of different ages. The pill that Qian Yi wants should be there.
On the left side of this room, there are three things.
The thing in the center was covered by a large piece of red cloth, cone-shaped, and half human-high. On the right side of the wall is a Zen staff, and on the other side is a bowl.
The bowl and the Zen staff are all black jade texture, and the face is engraved with complicated Buddha carvings, all of which are bare-grained reliefs. Anzi roughly counted five bodhisattvas, and there were some other gods and ghosts.
However, this black jade Zen staff bowl is the first time Li Bing has seen it. Ordinary Zen sticks and bowls are mostly made of copper and iron, and occasionally some monks use purple gold and gold, and jade sticks are rarely heard of.
He reached out and touched it, and the black jade faintly emitted a biting chill. This jade scepter is not light, heavier than the golden one.
"This weapon reminds me of something. Li Bing looked at Anzi and asked, "Do you remember the Venerable Kite of the Rong Sect, who is the descendant of the Flying Smoke Sword." ”
"Of course I do!"
"Most of the sects on the rivers and lakes accept disciples, but there are also some sects that are single-lineed, and the users of the blades are the heirs.
One of the most famous is the single pass nine doors:
Choking clouds, flying smoke, not knowing dreams;
Acacia, Taiwu, chopping red dust;
moth red flame, carved snow rainbow;
The jade cane crosses the afterlife.
I remember that Uncle Mi once mentioned to his father that the staff of 'crossing the afterlife' was made of black jade. I'm afraid it's the one in front of me!
"Wow, is it so powerful?" Anzi heard Li Bing say, and also reached out to take the jade staff, but as soon as he took it, he put it back: "It's so heavy! I can't pick it up, how can I use this weapon?"
Li Bing helped Anzi put the jade staff back in its place: "The weapons of the nine doors of the single transmission are all from the first grade or above, and they are all on the 'Craftsman Immortal List'. It's a lot better than my 'Tao Jian'. This jade scepter of 'crossing the afterlife' is the blade of the first product. It's even in the top 10 on the list of wonder soldiers!"
"Wow~~!" Anzi was so surprised that even his voice became sharper: "Zhengyipin?!, but I think about it, such a large piece of black jade, it is not easy to find raw materials alone." ”
He carefully looked at the bowl and the Zen staff, showed a covetous gaze, licked his lips, and pointed to something in the room: "Then what are you waiting for, and these cheats or something, it is estimated that they are all very valuable...... Shall we empty this place?"
Li Bing smiled and said, "Since the abbot told us the location, when he goes out later, he will meet him again! After saying that, he had already started to look for the elixir that Qian Yi needed on the floor of the cabinet.
"Hahaha...... I'm just kidding. Anzi looked at these good things, shook her head again and again, and glanced at the red cloth in front of her.
"What kind of treasure do you say is under this red cloth?"
With a tug of his hand, the red cloth fell to the ground, Anzi was startled by the thing in front of him, his whole body convulsed, and he retreated violently, and even the candlestick was knocked over to the ground.
"Ahh After settling down, he picked up the candlestick and leaned in to look at it.
Under the red cloth, there is actually the dry bones of a high monk after sitting.
His eyes were sunken, his face was distorted, his skin was yellow, his muscles and bones had dried out, he sat cross-legged with his hands on his knees, and on his left hand was a string of Buddhist beads, also made of black jade.
And his robe is different from that of other monks.
Generally, the robe of the temple is graded from top to bottom: purple red, brown red, positive red, dark brown, and earth yellow. If there is a royal gift, you can also use Zhenghuang. However, this man's robe is black with bright silver stripes.
Li Bing thinks that this monk's robe is very good-looking, giving people an indescribably vast feeling. is also good and evil, a little more mysterious.
Anzi hurriedly covered the red cloth with the monk, and then came to the front of him to salute: "The monk rests in peace, and he has no intention of disturbing." Please don't blame it!"
The reverence of ordinary people for the gods is vividly reflected in him.
"Wait!" At the last moment when Anzi covered the red cloth, Li Bing seemed to see something.
He uncovered the red cloth again, and held the candlestick close to the dry neck: "Look here. ”
There are a total of four black dots, two by two.
"It seems to be a trace left by some hidden weapon. ”
Anzi saw Li Bing touching the neck of this high monk to probe the wound, and said, "Cover it quickly." People say don't touch anything in the temple. Especially this one, spiritual!"
Li Bing is not afraid, but these things have nothing to do with him, he is too lazy to pay attention to them, and it is the right thing to take the pill.
He put the red cloth back on and muttered to himself:
"It's strange that the monks sit and sit, and they are all stored in the relics stupa in the temple, one for each person. Especially the three-hundred-year-old temple like Ximing Temple, there are dozens of relics pagodas. Why did you leave his bones at the bottom of the scripture building?"
"Brother Bing'er, otherwise let's go out first, it's a bit infiltrating here. Anzi kept thinking about the terrifying dry bone face in her mind, and hurriedly rummaged through the shelf.
Li Bing didn't think about it anymore and went over to help. There are more than 100 different bottles of medicine, some large and some small, and each bottle is made of red paper.
He took out three pieces of paper from his arms, and on each piece of paper was written a medicine: "Four Shu Pills", "Laixi San", and "Fish Bone Chalcedony Pill".
After a while, the two of them found all the pills. Li Bing followed Qian Yi's instructions, took three of each sample, wrapped it in the corresponding paper, and folded it into a water chestnut shape.
He held the pill in his arms, and Anzi put all the dry medicine bottles back in place, and was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly he saw a figure coming down from upstairs, leaning against the porch, blocking the door, with a wild face.
"Wow! The dignified prince of the Tang Dynasty actually stole in the royal temple!"
"Who should I be, it turned out to be the prince of Tubo who arrived. Li Bing originally thought that the thief was bumped into by other monks, but when he saw the little Tibetan lama, he also laughed: "You also said that this is a royal temple." If I take my own things, can I count them as stealing?"
Gesang Yuzha looked playful: "Otherwise, I'll call the host to take a look, is it considered stealing!" After speaking, one leg was in the door, stepping on the other side of the wall, obviously not like letting Li Bing pass.
Although this matter was secretly instructed by the abbot, Li Bing also understood that this could not be said on the surface after all.
He put the pill deeper into his arms, and rolled up his sleeves with one hand: "Then what do you want?"
When Gesang saw his movements, his heart was even more satisfied, and as soon as his feet moved, he reached out and grabbed it: "I want to check for the abbot!"
Seeing the five fingers grabbing, Li Bing reached out in front of Anzi with one hand, pulled him behind him, and faced Gesang with one palm.
"Smack!"
The two of them each took a step back, and both reached the base of the wall. It's really hard to play in such a narrow place.
"I haven't seen you for half a year, you have made a lot of progress!"
"You're not bad either!"
Gesang blocked in front of the door, slightly frightened by Li Bing's true qi, but in half a year, he was almost the same as himself.
He looked at Li Bing and showed a contemptuous and arrogant smile: "However, I'll let you know what the gap in the exercises is!"
After all, Gesang raised his hand to make a move "Heavenly Nine Seals First Style, Hun Tian Seal".
He had used this move several times in Ebian, but he had a bare hand shape before, and this time he used it, not only did his right hand faintly bring out a trace of afterimage, but even a faint golden Buddha light appeared behind him, and it seemed that he had made great progress beside Nilangtdan.
pinched the Buddha's handprint, and he punched his face and punched his waist.
This place is restrained, Li Bing originally wanted to hide, but there was no place at all, so he could only block it.
His right arm collided with Gesang's brute force, and his left hand grabbed Gesang's right wrist in an attempt to drag him behind him.
Gesang was unstable by Li Bing's strength, and in a panic, he pinched an orchid finger with his left hand, curled up with his right thumb, stretched out his four fingers, and crossed his hands. It is the first form of the "Nine Seals of Kinara": the Manzhu Seal.
The whole person's body suddenly became as soft as the Tianzhu dance, ethereal, and even more weird, which is the prototype of yoga in later generations.
Although Li Bing succeeded, Gesang used his strange body method, borrowed strength, hooked his toes on the roots of Li Bing's feet, circled around Li Bing, and returned to the original tomb door.
Li Bing finished one move, and then made two moves, two fingers as a sword, which was the "bottle to the moon", and wanted to point the "Yutang acupoint" on his chest.
Gesang touched the thumbs and ring fingers of both hands into a ring, crossed his arms, blocked his chest, and carried the "First Seal of Mohuraga, Thick Earth Seal".
The Yutang acupoint was blocked by his arm, and Li Bingbian called his arm "Yangchi Acupoint".
This move is extremely fast, and Gesang has no way to dodge. Unexpectedly, at the moment when Li Bing was hit, his skin seemed to have turned into a stone wall, and there was no elasticity at all.
This move, which could have taken at least his entire arm off, didn't work at all.
Let's say that the two of them are not up or down with one move, Anzi can see from the sidelines that this place is not big, and it is not easy to fight, as long as he escapes, Li Bing will definitely have a way to get out.
He waited for a long time, and finally got a gap, stepped out in three or two steps, and stepped on the short nine steps in an instant.
Gesang looked at Anzi's figure, knowing that it was too late to stop it, his left hand was stretched out, and his index and ring fingers were clasped behind his middle finger, and his right hand was facing the candlestick in Anzi's hand, a little more empty.
"Coax!" The candlestick burst into flames, and a scorching heat in front of him forced Anzi to subconsciously take a step back.
This is the first seal of the "Nine Seals of Yaksha", the Burning Silence Seal.
Gesang reached out to grab Anzi's back collar, and Li Bing also followed, and slapped him head-on, forcing Gesang to let go. It uses the sword move technique of "Langyue Qingfeng".
The two have been dismantling each other for more than 30 rounds, Li Bing's true qi is still full, but Gesang is impetuous, his basic kung fu is not at home, and his true qi has gradually exhausted.
Seeing that Li Bing was becoming more and more confident, he sneered and wanted to make a quick decision: "I've had enough of playing, see if I clean you up!"
Let's start with a simple mudra.
Li Bing has seen this handprint. It is Ebian County, Gesang used the method of two injuries, "Asura First Seal, Destruction Seal", which is quite powerful.
But this handprint is not over here, and his arms also moved, and there were two strange handprints in a row. Then he put his fingers together and raised them above his head.
Li Bing didn't see the specific technique clearly, but saw that the Buddha light behind the lama was much brighter than before, and a phantom with a hideous face was vaguely formed.
This is the third seal of the "Nine Seals of Asura" - "Brake Seal", and it is also Gesang's most powerful killing move at present.
Gesang's body style has not changed, standing in front of Li Bing, the hands interlaced above his head are swung down violently, like a meteor hammer.
"Hum~!" his fist was like a sword wind, and the air was rubbed with a trace of concussion.
Before the move, Li Bing still dared to take it hard, this move, he also had fear, and hurriedly took half a step back, leaned back, and the fist wind rubbed Li Bing's chest and smashed down.
Even though he had dodged it, he still felt a panic in his chest, this handprint must be strange. It's still the case if it misses, but I don't know what happens after it's hit.
This mudra is extremely ferocious, but like the "World Destroying Seal", the "Nine Seals of Asura" only attacks, regardless of defense, and can be put but not collected. Even if he watched Li Bing dodge, he couldn't release his strength, and his fists hit the ground solidly.
"Boom!" The floor tiles shattered, and even the dust and dirt on the ground jumped up, forming an amplitude visible to the naked eye. Even Anzi next to him felt that the ground was shaking.
Seeing Gesang pause, Li Bing took the opportunity to endure the stuffiness in his chest, and made a move to the stars to arch north and split his back.
Gesang stretched out his hand again to use the Namanzhu seal, but it was too late and he was knocked to the ground.
Li Bing took advantage of the victory to pursue, and with a fierce punch, he used the sword intent of "the river falls and the moon falls", and the attack is the Gesang face.
He fell to the ground, unable to resist and had to roll away.
Li Bing's punch missed, and it also smashed to the ground, although the power was not as great as the "brake mark", but the ground also made a muffled sound, and both of them were already red-eyed, and they didn't leave a back hand at all.
Gesang regained his body and looked at Li Bing's attack, his hands forming a Buddha seal, which was the "Asura Second Style, Chaos Seal"
The hand knife of "Wielding Sun Yang Ge" is facing the heavy punch of the "Chaos Seal".
"Bang!" the ground shook.
Anzi thought that the profound skills of the two had reached such a point, but he saw that Li Bing and Gesang each took a step back, stunned in place, and were quite surprised under the ground.
The tremor continued, and the cut became stronger and stronger. There was a heavy sound of "woo rumb" under the feet of the three people.
"What the hell is going on?"
The pilgrims of the entire Ximing Temple also felt the same, and they stopped their activities one after another, standing in place, at a loss.
In the meditation room just now, the two of them who were talking also felt this violent shock.
"Oops!"
