Chapter 45: Falling Short
PS: Thank you Lingsu Jushi, Lord Immortal Bird, and EAG1E for your weekly rewards, and thank you for the encouragement of the Black Great Holy Monthly Pass. ←,¢.23x.netbsp; The fearful Buddha statue kept changing its face, and the Sanskrit chanting roared in the depths of Zhishen's consciousness, seeing that Zhishen was about to follow in the footsteps of his own disciples and sink into the world of joy. It's a pity that the Fear Buddha statue comes from Baoguang's natal dharma, and Baoguang's cultivation and Zhishen are between them, and they don't have the advantage of killing them with one blow, and the last flash of spiritual light in Zhishen's consciousness finally pulled him out of the world of joy.
Although it is said that he is free from the fear of his life, after all, the fear of the Buddha statue is a great weapon of Buddhism, as long as he enters the sinking, the higher the cultivation, the greater the damage to his consciousness. Although Zhishen woke up, his face was already pale, and he only felt great pain in his mind, and subconsciously threw out a twisted bead in front of him to cover his retreat.
It's just that Zhishen's consciousness is blurred, his eyes are blurred, and the twisted beads thrown out are not in the right direction, and they are directly smashed on the Buddha shrine, only to hear a loud bang on the ground, and the Buddha shrine was suddenly blown into mud and stone and collapsed to the ground, and the clay Buddha statue on it was also torn apart into shape. Fortunately, Zhao Ran used the golden bowl as a shield to prevent himself and Pei Zhongze, otherwise the two of them would have to be hit hard again.
Taking this opportunity, Zhishen retreated to the outside of the temple. The two deacons and monks rushed forward and helped Zhishen back, and saw that his head was full of beads of sweat the size of beans, and his face was hideous and terrifying.
Zhiyuan, Zhixin, Zhifa and other monks stepped forward to visit, and at the same time asked what was going on, Zhishen gasped, trying his best to resist the pain caused by the impaired consciousness, and said to the monks: "The murderer has a back hand...... Oops, it hurts me to death!"
Zhixin asked what it was. Zhishen was so painful that he was already a little confused, and he said a bunch of things, mixed with screams of pain and cursing.
The abbot Zhiyuan is not the highest cultivator in the temple, but he has the most extensive knowledge, and after a little pondering, he was shocked and said: "It is the Buddha statue and the misty incense! How could the Taoist priest in the temple have such a natal dharma appearance? It is not right, the natal dharma is the only one, how can he have two phases? This has never been heard of...... The blurry incense is also gone, and the power of the Buddha statue is great, and I have seen the senior monks of the Aquarius Temple use it when they are against the enemy. It's never easy. No. The one inside is not a Taoist priest, but a Buddhist disciple!"
Houtang Zhifa thought for a while, couldn't help but doubt, and said: "If the one in the temple is my Buddhist disciple." How can you collude with the people in the Daomen?"
Za Zhixin suddenly said: "Could it be that there is something wrong inside the gate of the Aquarius Temple?"
The monks were silent for a moment. Each pondered silently. Houtang Zhifa has never cared about mundane affairs. Only put Zhishen aside, and use his own mana to help him heal his injuries and repair the damage to Zhishen's consciousness.
Zhiyuan asked Yu Zhixin: "What can I do?"
Zhixin said: "Zhishen's junior brother cultivates to be strong. The monk inside can hurt him like this, when he is a monk who has entered the realm of nose cognition, maybe he will enter the realm of tongue cognition, no wonder Baoguang and ** died at his hands. In my opinion, we must no longer fight alone, and Senior Brother, I, and Senior Brother Zhifa should act together, so that it is safe. ”
Zhiyuan hesitated: "It's just that the temple is small, and it can't be ......."
Zhixin said categorically: "Demolish this temple!"
Zhiyuan United: "Amitabha, sin, sin!"
Zhixin persuaded: "The matter has come to this point, I have to dismantle it, just follow the power." Presumably, the Buddha will not be surprised! After the incident, I fasted for 49 days in a row, raised funds, rebuilt the temple here, and then molded the golden body of the Buddha, which can be regarded as a good deed. ”
Zhiyuan hesitated, twisting the Buddha beads and sighing.
Besides, inside the ruined temple, when the smoke and dust dissipated, the misty incense and the fearful Buddha statues have disappeared. Zhao Ran threw himself at the dirt and gravel on his body, picked up Pei Zhongze again, and saw that each person's face was covered with mud, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Pei Zhongze sighed: "I can't believe that I am still alive, thanks to Senior Brother Zhao's great power magic weapon." ”
Zhao Ran shook his head and said: "Disposable, if you use it, it will be gone, and if you come down, you and I can only wait for death." "I found out the black ginseng pill, Yuan Guangsan, Jinkui pill, etc., and gave them to Pei Zhongze.
"There are still a lot of these pills left, even if they die, they can't be cheapened by the monks outside. Come, eat more. ”
Pei Zhongze smiled bitterly: "It's not jelly beans, why should you eat more?" That being said, he still picked one of each and put it in his mouth.
The two looked outside the temple and saw that the monks of Gao Richang Temple were saving people and saving people, and they were discussing, and they didn't seem to have any intention of killing them again. Zhao Ran haha said: "The bald donkeys are frightened? Hehe, you and I are fighting a bald donkey in a temple, won't it be majestic to spread it in the future?"
Pei Zhongze didn't talk nonsense with him, and said: "You watch first, I'll recover some mana and then talk about it, and then I'll fight after a while." "Meditate on your own and dissolve the power of medicine. Zhao Ran expressed his admiration for his optimism and enthusiasm of not giving up an opportunity, but he himself had not yet entered the Tao and could not learn, so he could only monitor the every move of the monks of Gaorichang Temple outside the temple.
After monitoring for a while, Zhao Ran suddenly felt that this was purely in vain, as long as there was another monk at random, he and Pei Zhongze would definitely not be able to deal with it, so he stared at it not so closely, and began to look around - he was about to die, and he didn't know if he could cross it again after death, so let's take a look at the place where he was buried.
Looking at the starry night sky, if I can't cross it again, this will be my last night......
Looking at Pei Zhongze, who was meditating and recovering, he secretly thought that he was inexplicably taken to Bayan Kala Mountain this time, and finally failed to escape, but he didn't expect to die with the Taoist priest of Qingyun Pavilion in front of him, the world is really unpredictable......
I glanced at the ruined temple in front of me, the surrounding walls were bare, and the Buddhist shrine had collapsed......
Zhao Ran looked at the Buddha shrine, suddenly felt that something seemed wrong, hurriedly stepped forward to remove the gravel and mud, and saw a square iron plate appeared at the base of the Buddha shrine!
The iron plate had been corroded and embedded in the surrounding stone bricks, and Zhao Ran couldn't pull it. Zhao Ran hurriedly woke up Pei Zhongze, pulled him to the Buddha shrine, and said, "Senior Brother Pei, quickly open this iron plate!"
Pei Zhongze was surprised and did not delay, burst out the bamboo sword and cut downward, and then lifted the entire iron plate. There are several stone steps exposed under the iron plate, and it is actually a tunnel!
......
Outside the temple, the abbot Zhiyuan had not yet made up his mind, and Zhixin kept persuading. Zhiyuan only said, "Let me think about it again." ”
Xitang Zhishen used his mana to repair his damaged consciousness, and the pain gradually subsided, but he was already sore and weak. He thanked Zhifa in the back hall, turned his head and heard Zhiyuan hesitate, and said dissatisfiedly: "Senior Brother Abbot, please make a decision, a ruined temple that has been abandoned by people, where do you need to look forward and backward? ”
At this moment, only a tiger roar was heard from behind the mountain, and all the monks changed color.
Zhixin hurriedly said: "It's the Shoufo Temple Yongshan who is here!" Senior Brother Abbot, don't hesitate any longer, let's do it, otherwise our hard work will be in vain!"
This tiger roar became the last straw that overwhelmed the scales, and Abbot Zhiyuan finally made up his mind.
Zhixin's mana poured into the sea of knowledge, and the roar of the lions of Buddhism was transported, and the mana surged out wildly, rushing towards the broken temple.
The temple was already dilapidated, but it soon began to shake under the roar of Zhixin's lion, and the shaking amplitude became larger and larger, and finally collapsed.
The three monks of Zhiyuan, Zhixin, and Zhifa surrounded them from three directions, and when the dust and ashes were gone, they saw that the bricks and stones were shattered, but there were two murderers.
The deacons and monks of Gao Richang Temple and the novices hurriedly stepped forward to clean up the bricks and stones, but they did not see the bodies of the two murderers, but Zhixin was still sharp-eyed, and saw an iron plate covering the ground, with very different shapes.
Pull the iron plate apart, revealing a downward tunnel.
Afraid of Zhao Ran's fearful Buddha statue, the monks did not dare to make a mistake, and the deacon monks shouted in the tunnel, to the effect that Zhao Ran and Pei Zhongze would come up, and their own family promised not to harm the lives of the two of them.
But no one answered in the tunnels.
Just hesitating, I saw a monk with a big waist and a round waist riding a white-fronted golden-eyed tiger galloping wildly, before the person arrived, the tiger had roared, in the tiger roar, the monk roared: "Shoufo Temple Yongshan is here, where is the murderer?"
Immediately afterwards, another figure shot up, and after arriving at the scene, he asked: "Are you the senior monks of Gaorichang Temple? ”
Zhixin sighed slightly, and secretly said badly. (To be continued!)
