Xingchen spent the night in the Temple of Great Compassion, this Temple of Great Compassion is a thousand-year-old temple, there are hundreds of monks in the temple, usually the incense is prosperous, visitors come and go, there is an endless stream, but Xingchen feels that there is a sad atmosphere here.

Whether it is the long-sounding macro bell or the intermittent sound of wooden fish, it is permeated with this sad atmosphere.

Wake up and see the plum blossoms in the yard, which bloom very brightly, but in the fragrant dust, but outside the world. It's autumn, not when plum blossoms are in full bloom, but plum blossoms are unusually bright, which is really unusual.

Master Calamus came to the courtyard and said to Xingchen: "This plum blossom is the Qin plum introduced from the Western Regions, it has a unique fragrance that refreshes people's hearts, if you are confused by witchcraft, hit your face with this plum blossom, you will quickly wake up." As he spoke, he folded a plum blossom and handed it to Xingchen.

"Then I'll give it a try!" Xingchen was very happy.

This is really true, Xingchen put the plum branch in front of the unconscious Murong Shuang's nose, let Murong Shuang sniff it, and she quickly woke up.

"What's wrong with me, what is this place? Hey, what are you doing with a plum blossom in your hand?" Murong Shuang, who had just woken up, looked around the room and felt that this place was very unfamiliar, so he asked.

"You were taken away by that monster, but luckily Master Calamus came to your rescue. Just as Xingchen was about to answer, Master Calamus had already come to the room.

"Recently, I heard that there was turmoil in Demon Cloud City, and many monsters were waiting for an opportunity to escape, so you two should be more careful outside. Master Calamus reminded, "Yesterday's scroll monster was the lost magic weapon of this temple - the demon spirit shaft, which almost killed the two of them, and the old man apologized to the two of them here." ”

Master Calamus folded his hands and bowed to Xingchen and Murong Shuang to apologize, and then sighed: "The magic weapon of this temple, in addition to the lost demon spirit shaft, there are two other pieces, one is the Great Compassion Zen Staff, and the other is the Golden Silk Hundred Knot Robe. They were all stolen by the thousand demons, and the demon law was applied to the world, especially the Great Compassion Zen Staff, which is the treasure of the temple, which absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, and has the power to deter all people. ”

"What is the origin of the Thousand Demon Chief, so bold and reckless?" Xingchen asked, the Thousand Demon Elder had wanted to take away his Red Flame Pearl, and he almost died at the hands of the Thousand Demon Chief.

Master Calamus stroked his beard and said slowly: "That Thousand Demon Elder was originally a hairy dog in the dirt cave of Luochen Mountain to cultivate into a refinement, and then entered Demon Cloud City, because he usually likes to pat on the back, he was favored by the Demon King, and was awarded the position of Thousand Demon Chief, in charge of hundreds of little demons. This monster is not good at magic, but it is treacherous and deceitful, and it is extremely cunning, and if you encounter it, you must be more vigilant. ”

"Master's words, Xingchen has been kept in mind, thank you for the master's rescue and care, we must return to the mountain as soon as possible, so as not to worry the master. At this time, Murong Shuang had already gotten out of bed, and Xingchen bowed his hand to say goodbye to Master Calamus.

"Oh no, no, Master Zu opened the Heavenly Eye, opened the Heavenly Eye, and began to speak!" a little monk stumbled and ran over in panic.

"Oh?" Master Calamus was startled, but immediately calmed down again, and said to the little monk: "Don't panic, take the teacher to see." ”

"I'd like to go with the master to have a look, okay?" Xingchen was curious.

"Don't hide the two donors, we have a nine-eyed ancient ape in the Great Compassion Temple, which is left by the founding patriarch of the Great Compassion Temple, Master Guangyuan, to this day, it has been nearly a thousand years, and the people in the temple call it the ancestor master, as a god-like dedication. Now it has opened its eyes and opened its mouth to speak, there must be a sign, whether it is good or evil, and the old man does not know very well in his heart, if the donor wants to go and see, he can go with me. Master Calamus said.

Murong Shuang stood in place and said to Xingchen: "You go with the master, I'll wait for you here." ”

Xingchen and Master Calamus walked through the cloister, walked through the front hall and the Zen hall, and came to the hall of the back hall. The apse is empty, there are few furnishings, in the middle of the hall, there is a huge iron cage, there is a thick and strong horizontal wood in the iron cage, and the nine-eyed spirit ape sits on the horizontal wood.

This nine-eyed spirit ape is a six-eared macaque, with a huge body, nine eyes, six ears, if it has nine eyes open, it can be seen in all directions, when there is no one, it sits with its eyes open, and when it sees someone coming, it opens its eyes.

If it's outside, it's an out-and-out monster, but here, he's the ancestor of the Great Compassion Temple.

Master Calamus stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and said to the nine-eyed spirit ape: "Amitabha, just now a disciple came to report in panic, saying that Grandpa, Master, you have spoken, what do you have to say? ”

"Although I was born with nine eyes, but can only see the world with two eyes, yesterday, but I saw a strange treasure into the temple, the night release of strange light, so I opened the eyes of the sky. Now the nine eyes can observe the world's affairs. The nine-eyed spirit ape said slowly, and his voice was like the yellow spring.

"Strange treasure entering the temple?" Master Calamus muttered, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes, and his gaze fell on Xingchen's body.

Master Calamus pointed to the dust and said, "Master Zu, only this donor and a girl came to the temple yesterday, and there was no one else. ”

The nine-eyed spirit ape nodded with a smile: "Yes, that strange treasure is on the body of the young man in front of you!"

"I have a treasure on me?" Xingchen himself was surprised.

The plush long arm of the nine-eyed spirit ape poked out, and a beam of white light shot out of its palm, heading straight into Xingchen's pocket, and a bright bead with purple light floated out of Xingchen's pocket, and in a blink of an eye, it had reached the hand of the nine-eyed spirit ape.

The nine-eyed spirit ape held the bead in his hand and looked at it carefully, and said to himself, "It's this baby." ”

"My Red Flame Bead!" Xingchen blurted out only then did he realize that the nine-eyed spirit ape had taken his own bead.

The nine-eyed spirit ape raised his eyebrows and glanced at Xingchen: "Don't worry, child, I won't take your beads, I just want to know the origin of your beads." ”

Xingchen thought about it, do you want to tell the Nine-Eyed Spirit Ape? He thought for a moment and said, "This bead is the Inner Dan obtained by the former master of the Weizhen Sect who taught Aoki Daoren to control the sword with Xuan Bing and kill Yan Jiao, and it is called Chiyan Zhu. ”

The nine-eyed spirit ape was secretly surprised: "This bead is definitely not the inner pill formed in the ordinary demon object, it is very likely to come from the Nine Heavens, Yan Jiao traveled around the heavens and was caught by that Yan Jiao." And this bead is no longer a fire attribute, but a thunder attribute, whether it has been refined. ”

"I once put this bead into the Five Elements Furnace to refine it...... Xingchen said casually.

"No wonder it became like this, the Five Elements Furnace was not like the ordinary Dan furnace that used fire to refine the Dan, but the metal, wood, water, fire, and earth elements were roundabout and refined, and they could be refined into thunder attributes, and I don't know how many calamities they have passed through the heavens. The nine-eyed spirit ape stroked the beads and sighed.

This bead flashed brightly, who was not moved by it, Master Calamus said to the nine-eyed spirit ape: "Master Zu, can you let the old man see what is wonderful about this bead?"

The nine-eyed spirit ape spread his palm and said, "Take it!"

Master Calamus was overjoyed, and reached out to get the bead, but as soon as his hand touched the bead, a flash of lightning immediately lingered on his body, and Master Calamus exclaimed, took a few steps back, and almost fell to the ground.

"Why is there thunder and lightning on this bead, and the old man has just been stupid by electricity!" Master Calamus was very embarrassed, fortunately there was no hair, otherwise the hair would be scattered by electricity, he folded his hands and asked puzzled.

"As I said, this bead was originally a fire attribute, but now it has been transformed into a thunder attribute, and it has thunder and lightning attached to it, and if you touch it, of course it will be electrocuted. I was not electrocuted because my cultivation had reached this point, and I was no longer afraid of this thunder and lightning. The nine-eyed spirit ape said in a deep voice.

"Then why hasn't this kid been electrocuted? Could it be that his cultivation has reached the level of your grandfather?" asked Master Calamus.

"Hehe," the nine-eyed spirit ape smiled. The smile of the nine-eyed spirit ape made Master Calamus even more confused.

"There is a saying in Buddhism that it is called fate, and when the child gets this bead, it means that he has a relationship with this bead, and this bead is a spiritual thing, and it can distinguish people and things, so how can it power its own master?" explained the nine-eyed spirit ape.

Master Calamus seemed to understand, nodded and said, "Master Zu is right, and the old man understands." As he spoke, he made another Amitabha.

"Wake up, return this bead to you, it is very rare, you must keep it properly, and do not let it fall into the hands of traitors. With that, the nine-eyed spirit ape's palm flipped over, and the bead returned to Xingchen's hand.

"How do you know my name?" said Xingchen as he retracted his beads.

"Master Zu has opened the eyes of heaven, and the whole world knows everything!" said Master Calamus.

Xingchen took a step forward and asked, "Master Zu, now that you have opened the eyes of heaven and can know everything under the sky, do you know the use of this bead?"

"Wait for me to take a look with the eyes of heaven!" I saw that all the closed eyes of the nine-eyed spirit ape were all opened, and the golden light rushed out of the hall, straight to the nine heavens, and its divine consciousness also diverged.

Both Xingchen and Master Calamus were surprised, staring at the nine-eyed spirit ape without blinking their eyes, feeling that it had great powers.

After a moment, the nine-eyed spirit ape retracted his divine sense and said, "Maybe it's because I don't have enough supernatural powers, I can't find any information about this bead, maybe this bead is really extraordinary." However, you should remember not to use this bead on a rainy day, otherwise it will cause a thunderstorm. ”

"Master Zu, do you know the whereabouts of the two stolen magic weapons in the temple, the Great Compassion Zen Staff and the Golden Silk Hundred Knot Robes?"

The nine-eyed spirit ape opened the eye of heaven again, and said after a while: "Those two magic weapons have arrived in Demon Cloud City, in the hands of the Demon King, if you want to take them back, with your current cultivation, there is no chance of winning, not to mention that there are many demons in Demon Cloud City, you can't easily take risks." ”

"But the Great Compassion Zen Staff is the treasure of our Great Compassion Temple, and it was stolen by that monster, and I am afraid that the world will laugh at it. "Master Calamus still has some scruples in his heart.

"If you're afraid of being laughed at, why didn't you guard the magic weapon in the first place?" the nine-eyed spirit ape asked.

Master Calamus immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Amitabha, the ancestor is angry, and the old man knows his mistake." ”

"You guys go down first, I just want to be quiet!" said the nine-eyed spirit ape with a wave of its hand, closing its eyes and not looking at anyone in the hall again.

Awakening Dust and Master Calamus exited the apse together, and returned to the previous room along the cloister.

Murong Shuang complained: "Wake up Chen, why have you been there for so long? What does that nine-eyed spirit ape look like, is it good-looking?"

"Let's go, I'll tell you on the way back!" Xingchen and Murong Shuang said goodbye to Master Calamus and walked out of the Great Compassion Temple.
