Chapter Ninety-Six: The Secret
Looking at my expression, Jueyuan probably understood, I really didn't know about this matter, he sighed, and then said, "It seems that your master really protects you very well." ”
A little impatient expression appeared on my face, not for Jueyuan, but for this sentence, because too many people have said that my master has protected me too well, but unfortunately, no matter how well he protects me, we still embarked on the same path as him.
Jueyuan didn't dwell on this issue, he was my friend, he naturally understood my feelings, and he also knew that my impatience was not aimed at him, so Jueyuan said very simply: "This is the test of our lineage, and it is the test that every monk of our lineage must go through." ”
"To the test of the little hell?" I looked at Jueyuan in disbelief.
This time it was not Jueyuan who answered me, but another monk, this monk was a monk rowing for Jueyuan, he looked between 4 or 50 years old, a little weathered and taciturn, he didn't wear monk's robes like an ordinary monk, but a little like a Tibetan monk, half-naked, with his sleeves hanging down at his waist, and his bare body muscles were tangled, but also full of wounds.
Looking at it this way, it looks a bit like an ancient Jianghu man, if he didn't have a shaved head.
"It's a small hell test, if you can successfully surpass 108 revenants here, you will pass the test." The monk answered my question very simply.
And I looked at Jueyuan in disbelief, spending more than 108 souls here? Is it possible? Just now, those powerful ghosts first promised to make a move, and then Lao Xiao made a move, and a group of us were in the 'town field', and Jueyuan only surpassed the three revenants.
Thinking like this, I couldn't help but ask Jueyuan: "So far, how many souls have you overlived?" How long have you been here? Why survive here? ”
In the face of my continuous questions, Jueyuan did not feel impatient, he replied seriously: "I'm ashamed, I'm afraid it's been a year and a half since I've been here, and today is the day with the most overspent souls, but I only overtook 3 revenants, and there is a suspicion of cheating." So far, I've surpassed 23 Souls. As for what you said about surviving here, it's not surviving here, we come every three days, and we never go to the boundary monument, only in the wild, and we have been here for generations, the ghosts here are not aimed at us, it has become a conventional rule, let us go over, but we can't make a move, otherwise it will cause the ghosts to attack. Only now"
"Master Jueyuan, you've said too much." As soon as Jueyuan said this, the monk next to him interrupted Jueyuan's words.
Jueyuan shook his head and said, "I don't say much, definitely not much." Don't you know who their ancestors were? It's Lao Li, and Lao Li's apprentices and grandchildren are all here, so I don't say much at all. They should have the right to know the secrets, for they will enter the Boundary Pillar. ”
"What, they're going to enter the Boundary Monument? We are still very familiar with this wilderness, including the distribution of ghosts, how can we be within this boundary monument? The monk was shocked, and didn't understand why Jueyuan was so sure that we would enter the boundary monument.
But Jueyuan didn't answer the monk's words, just looked at me meaningfully and said, "Chengyi, you must have something to do with your master, right?" If this is the case, you can only enter the boundary monument, because according to the secrets of our lineage, your master only left clues in the boundary monument. And it is a new city within the boundary marker. ”
New Town, what is New Town? I didn't understand what Jueyuan was talking about at all, but the monk next to Jueyuan couldn't control his emotions a little, and he said: "Jueyuan, after entering the new city, who can come out?" What do you mean? ”
"Amitabha, I will not stop in the pursuit of Buddhism, and if I don't get the inheritance, I am ashamed of my master. The so-called "no break, no standing", I will enter the new city with them. Jueyuan said seriously, his expression was still as peaceful as ever, but the firmness in his eyes was clear to anyone who saw it, and Jueyuan would not change his mind.
"Chengyi, it's going to be dangerous, are you going? I don't know what kind of place it is inside, and even the eminent monks who have been in with your ancestor have never mentioned what kind of situation it is inside. The monk over there was already anxiously stopping Jueyuan, but Jueyuan didn't pay attention to it at all, just looked at me and said.
I indifferently took a cigarette in my mouth and said to Jueyuan: "I have experienced a lot of things from birth to death, and every time I think I am going to die, I am still alive. Naturally, I will enter the boundary monument, and even if I don't meet you, I guess I will crash into it if my blind cat hits the rat to death. But you, if you follow us in, you may not be able to succeed. ”
Jueyuan held the rosary in his hand, and the light on the 23 rosaries on his string was very different, and he suddenly smiled and said to me: "I believe that if I follow you on a trip, the one hundred and eight beads of this rosary will light up, and I will succeed." ”
After speaking, Jueyuan put his hand on Hui Gen'er's body and said, "These days, Hui Gen'er will be my guardian warrior monk for the time being, right?" ”
The monk covered with scars sighed and said, "Jueyuan, since you entered the temple, I have been your guardian monk, and we have been born and died I don't know how many times, only a few actions, you and I are not together. Now, do you really not need me for such an important inheritance test? ”
Jueyuan sang a Buddha horn and said: "Dingyuan, you and I have been here for a year and a half this time, although we have never entered the boundary monument, but there have been great changes in the new city, haven't you and I discussed it, and we don't know it in our hearts?" I'm not going to leave you, but I'm going to let you go back, it's time to go to the ward division to see what they do, and by the way, go to Huigen'er's division too. ”
"Amitabha." The monk named Dingyuan heard Jueyuan's command, and also sang a Buddha name, and after that, he stopped speaking, gave a Buddhist salute to all of us, turned around and jumped into the boat they came from, and was about to drift away.
"Don't be busy, you wait." I thought of something in my heart, hurry up and stop Dingyuan.
Dingyuan and Jueyuan both looked at me in surprise at the same time, not understanding what I meant by suddenly speaking out to stop me?
"I don't know where you're going back, but I'm afraid it's not safe to go back, do you know the line of guarding the lake?" I said out loud.
"Which one are you talking about?" Jueyuan looked at me seriously and said.
Could it be that there are still two people guarding the lake? I didn't have time to ask more, but I just said to them: "It's the Shouhu line presided over by Uncle Zheng, 4 days ago, the village has been besieged by ten thousand ghosts, and it has completely cut off contact with the outside world, and it is in the midst of hard guarding!" As far as I know, this time, there was also a ghost rakshasa who went. In addition, this lake of ten thousand ghosts has also undergone great changes, and it is not necessarily safe to leave here. ”
Jueyuan's expression suddenly became solemn, and he said: "The lake guarding line presided over by Uncle Zheng is the lake keeper you come home, and our Buddhist family has a different concept from your Taoist in this small hell, so naturally there are also our lake keepers. But I didn't expect the situation to turn out to be like this, but, it's not in the way, Dingyuan and I only came from our side a day ago, and we haven't had an accident on our side yet, Dingyuan, you go quickly, it will change later. ”
There is still such a secret, Taoists and Buddhists are stationed here to guard the lake? I feel like I'm involved in a big situation again, and I say that I'm so ignorant, but it's like this every time, is it the welfare of a child's life?
The news I said undoubtedly made Jueyuan and Dingyuan nervous, after Jueyuan finished speaking, Dingyuan set up the boat without looking back, and quickly turned back, looking like that, he was really anxious.
Jueyuan looked at the sky silently, and suddenly said: "It seems that this place is going to break the balance of hundreds of years, or else this world will change its appearance, and the amazing truth will be presented in front of ordinary people." Otherwise, it will be a complete solution to the problem here. ”
I was speechless, I didn't expect that a move to find the footprints of the master would become a big problem to solve, the Taoist Shouhu lineage, still waiting for the opportunity of my master to break the situation, now all aspects of the manpower are working hard to contact the outside world, will it be then?
I couldn't imagine what kind of chaos it would be, but I said to Jueyuan: "It seems that you people in the Buddhist sect are luckier than our Taoist family, at least you are not surrounded by ten thousand ghosts, and you will enter this small hell, and there will be no ghosts to attack." ”
Jueyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Now it seems that this is the case, these ghosts are more cunning than we imagined!" They clearly just don't want us to join forces. ”
"What's going on with the new city? Is there still an old city? I suddenly asked.
Jueyuan pointed in a direction and said to us, "Go there, that's where the boundary monument is!" ”
