Chapter 047: Heir to the Mantle

Ren Qinglian used her eyesight to the extreme, and through the gaps between the Buddha statues, she vaguely found that the back of this hall was full of bookshelves.

I couldn't help but secretly wonder: "Could it be that this is the place where the Lotus Temple collects scriptures!?"

But as soon as he stepped into the main hall, he felt that the emptiness in the hall was too strange, and he quickly shook his head and said:

"It won't be so simple, since the master of this temple can understand the phantom array and the treasure of the scriptures, he will definitely have some elaborate arrangements. ”

As soon as I thought of this, there was a sudden rumbling sound in my ears, and the entire hall shook slightly.

"Oh no, someone is manipulating the mechanisms in this courtyard. ”

Ren Qinglian's heart was slightly cold, and the entrance to the main hall had been sealed.

At the same time, the walls of the four sides of the hall were slowly approaching the middle.

There is no retreat in front and back, and there is no dodge left and right.

It was only a few feet closer to the wall that it could squeeze people to death inside.

Ren Qinglian took a sharp breath, and pressed her palms against the oncoming wall, which actually blocked the moving wall.

However, although this move eased his momentary urgency, as the wall moved, the force exerted on him became stronger and stronger.

Over time, the feeling of oppression continues to increase.

Just when Ren Qinglian was about to use even the power of internal strength, the movement of the wall suddenly stopped.

What's even more amazing is that in front of him, a one-person-high, pitch-black corridor has appeared at some point.

"Someone is secretly manipulating the mechanism. Ren Qinglian muttered, and said to herself helplessly: "Whatever, it's a blessing or a curse, and it can't be avoided." At the moment, I can only take one step at a time, and I can't do much more. ”

As he spoke, he flashed and walked forward.

Although it was pitch black inside the corridor, it was nothing to him.

There was a flash of light in his eyes, and even the texture on the stone on which he built this corridor could be seen clearly.

The terrain in the corridor sloped all the way down, and Ren Qinglian secretly estimated in her heart that after about five or six meters underground, the entire passage began to become flat and empty.

"The people in the shadows seem to have brought me here, and I don't know what their intentions are. With that thought, he continued on his way.

It didn't take long for a stone gate to appear in front of me.

After pushing it open vigorously, there was a three-zhang square stone chamber inside.

Strangely enough, though, there wasn't anyone inside.

"Trick up the mystery!" Ren Qinglian scolded in her heart, but her eyes were attracted by a note on the table in the center of the stone room.

I saw that it read, "Buddha Gate Pure Land, where is the treasure? ”

At the end of the word, there is also an arrow indicating the direction of escape.

Ren Qinglian looked in the direction of the arrow and found that there was an embedded stone gate on the opposite side, and if she thought about it, it was the way to leave.

This Lotus Temple went to great lengths to come up with such a mechanism, just to warn the gentleman on Liang?

Ren Qinglian thought in her heart, but suddenly shouted in a deep voice:

"Who is Your Excellency, the Tang Dynasty Worship Sword Pavilion Ren Qinglian is visiting, please come out and see it!"

As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of the machine running in under my feet.

Ren Qinglian's heart was slightly cold, and she was just about to lift her breath, when she saw that the surrounding environment suddenly changed, and the whole person had appeared in a misty valley.

"How is this possible!"

According to Ren Qinglian's own calculations, it should be deep underground now, even if the mechanism is unloaded, it should not suddenly appear on the ground.

What's more, it is still such a valley with the fragrance of birds and flowers that has never been seen before.

A long strange howl sounded in his ears, and the ground suddenly began to shake faintly.

Ren Qinglian subconsciously looked at it, and saw a huge beast rushing out of the mist in the distance.

He shrank his gaze, and soon saw the two tusks and a long thick nose on the behemoth's mouth, and exclaimed in disbelief, "Elephant!"

This giant beast resembles an elephant, but its physique is more than several times larger, and it is also an ancient relative of an elephant.

Ren Qinglian subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but she was shocked to find that her feet seemed to be stuck to the ground by a sticky force, and she couldn't move.

In my heart, the giant beast rushed over as if it had gone crazy.

In desperation, he could only let out a deep sigh, stood with his feet upright, and split out his right hand with one palm.

"Bang!" There was a loud bang, and the fierce palm power slashed right on the head of the giant beast, slowing down the momentum that was rushing towards it.

The giant beast snorted, and the man stood up, and the two front legs like tree trunks were lifted high, and Mount Tai seemed to step down on the top of Ren Qinglian's head.

After Ren Qinglian's blow, her self-confidence increased greatly, her body slanted, her right hand grabbed one of the legs of the giant elephant with one arm, and with a roar in her throat, she struggled to hold up the entire giant elephant and threw it behind her.

Just listen, "Bang!" There was a loud bang, and the ground of the entire valley shook slightly.

Ren Qinglian let out a long sigh of relief, this thunderous counterattack had actually used all his internal strength cultivation and physical strength, but fortunately, there was no danger, and he finally knocked down the giant elephant.

Remembering that the giant elephant didn't seem to have fallen lightly, he subconsciously looked at it, but he was immediately stunned.

I saw that the giant elephant was like a bubble bursting, and the stars dissipated little by little.

"Is this also an illusion?"

Ren Qinglian was a little dumbfounded, in his imagination, although the Lotus Temple could use the formation to use some tricks, but after all, it was only a mortal technique, and it was impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

At this moment, an exclamation was already coming from behind him.

"Amitabha, the Middle-earth world is really outstanding, and the foundation realm is capable of throwing dragon elephants, haha!"

Ren Qinglian followed the prestige, and saw a monk with blue eyes standing behind him at some point.

He was shocked that he didn't even realize it.

"Dragon Elephant? what is that, and isn't this the phantom array you control?"

Ren Qinglian said with a look of surprise, and opened some distance from this monk without a trace.

"The power of the dragon elephant mentioned in the Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong you cultivated refers to it!" Fan Seng said, swiping his hand in the air, and the giant elephant that had just dissipated had already appeared above Ren Qinglian's right side.

When Ren Qinglian saw it, she was shocked, not because this dragon elephant came in the air, but because this old monk's magical powers were already land immortals.

As for this dragon elephant, it is also mentioned in that scripture, and it is said that after refining the spirit, you can have the power of a dragon elephant. Ren Qinglian has achieved ice muscles and jade bones, and she is already an immortal-like physique, so she naturally already has the power of a dragon elephant.

Seeing his shocked face, the monk smiled and said, "As for the phantom array you said, it is just a cage for the old monk to steal his life!"

Ren Qinglian looked puzzled, but the monk had no intention of explaining, and continued: "For hundreds of years, the old monk finally waited for a good seedling, and he could pass on the mantle with confidence!"

When Ren Qinglian heard this, a storm was set off in her heart: "For hundreds of years, the Lotus Temple has only been built for a hundred years!"

The old monk seemed to see through his thoughts, and said with a smile: "You think well, the old monk is indeed the founder of this Lotus Temple!"

"Is this the Buddhism 'his heart'?!" Ren Qinglian looked shocked.

On the way here, he had already learned the historical origin of this Lotus Temple from Yu Wentian.

The founder of the Lotus Temple is the same as the ancestor of the Dharma of the Shaolin Temple, and they are all monks from Tianzhu during the two Jin Dynasty.

"If I can pass on the mantle of my ancient Zhangxiong Dynasty before I die, the old monk can be regarded as a well-deserved death!" said the monk who looked at Ren Qinglian with a relieved expression.

This made Ren Qinglian a little confused, and immediately wondered: "The master wants to pass on the mantle to Zaixia, but I have no intention of becoming a monk......

The monk smiled faintly: "I know you have all kinds of doubts, and listen to me carefully......"

Ren Qinglian knew that this old monk was unpredictable, and there was no chance to escape at the moment, but calmed down and listened quietly.

There are many Buddhist countries in Xiniu Hezhou, and the ancient Zhangxiong Dynasty has been one of the most prosperous Buddhist countries for a long time.

However, like the dynasty of the Southern Ganbu Continent, the world will be divided for a long time, and this once prosperous and prosperous Buddhist country has gradually disappeared in the dust of history.

But in the process, the theory of reincarnated spirit children also emerged.

The descendants of the ancient Zhangzhung Buddhism believed that their prince Sinrao Miwo Buddha would reappear as a reincarnated spirit child, thus reviving the ancient Zhangzhung dynasty.

Therefore, after the collapse of the dynasty, countless devout believers began to travel to all sides in search of the so-called reincarnated spirit child, and at the same time spread the ancient Zhangzhung Buddhism.

The monk in front of him is a monk who came to Nanbu Continent to spread the ancient Zhangxiong Buddhism.

It's just that it coincided with the destruction of Buddha in the Central Plains Dynasty, and this old monk could only preach the Dharma in a remote state like Tubo.

Unexpectedly, he soon found a Tibetan who met the reincarnated spirit child's saying, and taught him carefully.

At the beginning, the place where their master and apprentice practiced was where the Lotus Temple is now, but it was not as grand as it is now, but there were only a few mud walls and rotten tiles.

Time flies, and decades have passed. The child he considered to be a reincarnated spirit child had also grown up, but it was increasingly out of step with the supposed achievements of a reincarnated spirit child.

After more than ten years, the spirit boy had already passed away before him.

The monk was older, and when he saw that his longevity was about to end, he exhausted his strength, and arranged a Miluo Phantom Array in this place.

And his disciples and grandchildren, also adhering to the will of the ancestors, have been passed down for generations, and they are all working hard to find the reincarnated spirit child.

The place that Ren Qinglian broke into was actually the hall used by the Lotus Temple to select spirit children.

The remnant soul of the monk lingers here, in order to be able to really find the so-called reincarnated spirit child one day.

But the years are not forgiving, and he has a faint sense these days that the bull head and horse face of the Netherworld will soon find the location of his remnant soul and bring him back to the netherworld.

Originally, he was already desperate.

Because of his qualifications, even the patriarch of the first generation of the Lotus Temple failed to fully inherit his mantle.

Seeing that there was no successor, Ren Qinglian appeared at this time.

The temptations in the Miro Illusion Array made him feel that the young man from Middle-earth in front of him could pass on his mantle.

Seeing that Ren Qinglian was still a little hesitant, the monk said again: "Since you have already cultivated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong, no matter what, you can be regarded as half of the old monk's descendant." You don't want to become a monk, I don't force you, I just hope that in the future, if you are lucky enough to go to Xiniu Hezhou, help me bring back the complete version of the "Zhangzhung Tripitaka", although they have obtained some ancient Zhangzhung Buddhism, but after all, it is rare to authentic......"

Hearing this, Ren Qinglian nodded, "I still don't know what Master is called?"

The monk shook his head: "The clouds and smoke in the past are all vain, it is excellent that you can accept the request of the old monk, and there is no need to mention the title of master and apprentice in the future, the rise and fall of this lotus temple has nothing to do with you......"

As he spoke, he gently nodded on Ren Qinglian's forehead.

The next moment, the world was spinning, and Ren Qinglian had already come to a valley.

"This is!" Before he could check the inheritance that the monk had imprinted into his mind, Ren Qinglian was shocked by the valley in front of him.

"Master really comprehended the 'Mind Channel', and actually used the power of the Miluo Illusion Array to send me to this valley in the Two Realms Mountain......!

Ren Qinglian smiled bitterly, although the monk let him not care about the status of master and apprentice, how could he really turn a blind eye. It's just that his cultivation is still shallow, and the limit that the monk said is approaching, so he can't help at all, but he owes the other party some money.

Thinking of this, he looked in the direction of Tubo with a firm gaze: "Don't worry, I'm going to the West Heaven, and I will definitely bring back the complete Zhangzhung Tripitaka!"
