Volume 1: The Peace Bureau (Part I) Chapter 63, Danger lurks
Ye Yu narrowly escaped and slumped against the corner, his legs a little weak in fright.
It wasn't until after the old Taoist had left that he took a long breath.
Seeing that Feng Qianfang called the soldiers to carry the wooden girl Phantom Zhu out of the cell, only he and Lan Lao Wei were left in the room, and he was a little nervous.
But then he calmed down again, immediately regained his spirits, held on to the corner of the wall, and tried to get up from the ground.
However, because the old Taoist's palm was really heavy just now, he injured his knee and could only fall on the bed again.
This time, he didn't have much gratitude for Lan Sa's help, so he just hung it aside and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Lan Sa sat at the table, watching Ye Su behave like this, and secretly sighed: "Why are you in such a hurry to go back to Middle-earth?" ”
Yeyu looked up at the roof of the cell and asked, "What do you want the Buddha lamp for?" ”
Lan Sa said calmly: "Huaigen left the mantle in Liulitian, what he left behind is very important to me, and I can't find it without a Buddha lamp."
"I'm going to find my dad, it's important to me!"
"What an idiot" Lan Sa sighed slightly: "Okay, as long as you give me the Buddha lamp, I'll send you back, how about it?" ”
Ye Yu sneered, and closed his eyes again: "Give me back the mountains and seas first"
Lan Sa pondered slightly, suddenly flipped his wrist, took out the Shanhaijian from the Sumeru object, and put it on the table.
Ye Mo sensed the breath of the treasure map, opened his eyes and looked at the table, and sat up from the bed with severe pain.
"I can't give you the Buddha lamp, I'm still useful"
"And what do you want?"
"The sale is a lump sum, Shanhaijian is what you owed me last time, you want Huaigen's Buddha lamp, in fact, you are looking for that "Burning Lantern Record", right?"
Lan Sa was slightly stunned: "Go on"
"I know there's a place where you might be looking for something"
"Have you ever been to the Buddha country of Huaigen?"
The night was stunned, he wanted to use this news to blackmail the blue monster, but he didn't expect that he would already know.
"When Huai'an rebuilt the Forget Worry Pavilion, I went in once"
"Do you know how to get in?"
After a while, he smiled and said: "It turns out that you want the Buddha lamp to open the Buddha country of Huaigen"
Lan Sa's face grew cold, "Do you know?" ”
Ye Yan shook his head: "I don't know, but I've seen Huai'an set up an altar to chant mantras"
Lan Sa was a little angry: "What scripture?" What spell? ”
Ye drunk and lazily fell on the bed: "Oh, then I have to think about it, but I am very painful now, I can't concentrate, my stomach is also very hungry, I didn't sleep well last night, this tower prison is too scary, the place is weird, the people are even stranger, I think my reed flower"
Lan Sa laughed angrily: "Little rabbit cub, since you said that the transaction is a lump sum, then let's make another deal, you help me find something, and I will send you back to Middle-earth, how about it?" ”
Ye Yu turned over and sat up again: "Then what should you do when you pay the bills?" ”
Lan Sa's face was slightly gloomy: "You don't have a choice, or you can stay here for the rest of your life."
Night drunk and thought to himself for a while: "Then I want to go back to Kushui Temple to live"
"It's been changed to Juyizhuang now, you can only stay here honestly, and I'll give you some freedom of movement at most."
……
A moment later, Lan Sa walked out of the cell.
Feng Qianfang, who had been waiting outside, followed him and went downstairs together.
The two of them came to a hall where no one was around.
Feng Qianfang rubbed his hands for a while: "City Lord, why don't you let me try again?" ”
Lan Sa shook his head: "That Buddha lamp is something that Huaigen wishes to condense, unless he is willing to give it to you, otherwise, even if you turn him into a medicine man, it is useless, I have other plans for this matter."
Feng Qianfang grinned, and said angrily: "This hateful King Maitreya"
Lan Sa suddenly said: "Let Phantom Bamboo have more contact with him these days, and listen to what he is thinking in his heart"
Feng Qianfang nodded and said lightly: "This little baby thief is very good, what is the origin?" ”
Lan Sa said: "Orphan of the hidden gate, give him some freedom, but don't let him leave the White Tiger Camp, observe secretly, maybe there will be a discovery"
Feng Qianfang said awkwardly: "Can I draw some of his essence blood?" ”
Lan Sa frowned slightly: "Engage in your secret experiment?" ”
Feng Qianfang bowed to the ground.
Lan Sa weighed it slightly, nodded and said: "Be moderate, he is still useful to me, I heard Xu Zhenye say, the Great Zhou Gongsi got a set of intact mystical weapons from the ancient ruins of Wufu Hill, which can refine the "thief qi dispersion" into a pill, so that a cultivator of the Five Realms can be among the Seven Realms and a stick of incense, we have to hurry up."
"Five-a-seven?" Feng Qianfang was taken aback, and said eagerly: "City Lord, can you let me participate in the next treasure hunt?"
Lan Sa's face showed a little melancholy: "Wait for the Kunxu matter, this time the people of the Seventy Princes appeared too coincidentally"
Feng Qianfang was taken aback: "Do you suspect that there are their hidden stakes in the industry?" ”
Lan Sa nodded lightly: "Recently, I am asking Huayuelou and Kequan to investigate this matter, maybe I will send some people, you have to help me knock their mouths open"
Feng Qianfang said: "Don't worry, as long as you come to me, even if he has three heads and six arms, he has to be obedient."
……
The backyard of Huale Casino, in the lotus pavilion.
After Wu Daoxuan saw the dream left in the mirage, he handed it back to Wang Maitreya who was standing next to him, and sighed slightly.
Seeing the old man's sad face, the fat monk poured him a cup of tea, handed it to his hand, and said thoughtfully: "National Teacher, are you always worried that in the future, once Lan Sa masters the lantern record, it will be detrimental to our plans?" ”
Wu Daoxuan nodded: "In the Banquan War, Huai'an colluded with the demon clan, intending to take advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the fire, and later lost in front of Jialing Pass, so that all 300,000 people of the Ming Protector Army were buried in the fire, at that time we all thought that the victory was in the plot and the right time, but now it is very suspicious to think about it"
Wang Maitreya touched his bald head, a little confused.
"The poor monk doesn't understand something"
"Manichaeism, whether it is the open sect or the dark sect, is the method of destroying the world"
"Could it be that those people are bent on death?"
"Yes, according to the teachings of the Ming religion, when the god they believe in comes to the world again, he will establish a Dharma hall and separate good from evil, and heaven and earth will be destroyed in a fire, and all living beings will be reduced to nothingness, and Mingzi will be collected and return to heaven, and the turbid dust will also settle, and the world will return to eternal silence, but the most damned person in that fire will not die, not only that, but his realm has been increasing day by day over the years, but why?"
Wang Maitreya was stunned there, pondered for a moment, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but shiver on his body.
"Could it be that he has been refining the resentful spirits who died in vain for so many years to ascend to the Zen realm?"
Wu Daoxuan shook his head lightly, "I'm afraid it's not refining, but crossing, how can a person as treacherous as him not be able to see through the situation set up by Lan Sa back then, I'm afraid that "Burning Lantern Record" is probably also a conspiracy, after all, it is difficult to predict what will happen in the future only by means of "enlightenment", not to mention that so many people are involved, if it is found that it is a fire of burning the world in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to clean up."
Wang Maitreya's expression was even more solemn: "Crossing 300,000 people into reincarnation is indeed a supreme merit, but once it is chaotic, our fate will become uncontrollable, the plan will definitely deviate, and the ending will change again."
Wu Daoxuan tapped his fingers on the table again, closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
Wang Maitreya said: "That night drunk refused to hand over the Buddha lamp, we can't interfere in the matter of Master Zhang's interpretation of the scriptures, and the outside is preempted by Lan Sa, what should we do?" ”
Wu Daoxuan said: "When necessary, the overall situation is important, even if he is Zhang Linghan's own son, he must be killed."
Wang Maitreya's already narrow knife eyes narrowed into a slit, and he swiped it lightly with one palm.
……
Night falls.
In the dimly lit cell, Ye Xuan rolled over and sat up from the bed, a little angry.
For a whole day, he was looking back at the previous memory pictures over and over again, but he couldn't understand Huai'an's lips.
There is no way, when Lan Sa comes again, he can only excuse that the scriptures are very long, and he has to go to Huai'an's library to find the scriptures.
Lan Sa didn't suspect this, and led him out of the cell and all the way to the bottom of the tower.
After passing through a dark corridor and entering a ladder guarded by soldiers, he unknowingly came to a bamboo hut.
At this time, the sun was shining outside the window, and it was actually early in the morning.
When he walked out of the door and came to the street, he found that he was already standing on the street of Liuli Tianshui Village.
Ye Mo felt very curious about this, and turned back to look carefully at the place where he had just come out, but he only saw two shops buying groceries, and there was no trace of the bamboo house.
"Tricks?"
Ye Mo muttered to himself in his heart, but he couldn't see the mystery in it.
The two crossed the street, crossed the Wuding Bridge patrolled by soldiers, and soon came to the Buddha building on the other side of the river.
Although it was only a few days later, Ye Su, who returned here again, clearly felt that the breath of the entire Liulitian had been renewed.
When I came to the Buddha Tower, I didn't expect that Old Master Zhang was flipping through books in front of the bookshelf.
He bowed cautiously.
There are still many mysteries to be solved in his heart about the matter of losing his shadow, and it is still difficult to guess the true intention of Old Master Zhang to write a book to him to help him come to Liulitian, but it is certain that this matter is by no means as simple as it seems.
Seeing Lan Sa waving at him, signaling him to be free, Ye Mo put the bamboo basket aside and rummaged through the bookshelf.
In fact, he didn't know which scripture was useful, but he couldn't show his cowardice at the moment, and he could only pretend to be very serious.
It's a pity that Huai'an's memory fragments don't have this part of the content, otherwise he would still have a purpose.
It's just that soon, Ye Mo discovers one thing.
The books on the shelves in front of him were all the lower part of the "Burning Lamp".
Originally, he thought that Lan Sa was looking for these books when he entered the Buddha Kingdom.
Now it seems that the old monster must have something else in mind.
For a while, the young man was also interested in this pile of books that covered the entire wall, and he wanted to know what secrets were in this "Burning Lantern Record", which was worthy of Lan Sa's solemn trust with Old Master Zhang before.
Just as this thought arose in his heart, a scripture called "The Secret Treasure" suddenly flashed in his mind for some reason.
Fortunately, he had experienced a similar situation before, and there was no mistake in his breath.
But there is no enlightenment-like understanding.
Immediately, he took out another book and flipped through it, but his vision changed.
Just look at the words in the book that all the words in the book are like ink, overlapping with the scriptures in his memory, and condensing a completely different article.
He quietly rubbed his eyes, and the words in the book returned to their original appearance.
Ye Yu looked around at the bookshelves scattered on the four walls of the room, and saw that these shelves were arranged in the heavenly stem and the earthly branch, so he came to the bookshelf of Jiazi file and found the first volume of the upper part of "Burning the Lamp".
In order not to arouse the suspicion of Lan Sa and Old Master Zhang, he didn't dare to study the above content carefully, but just hurriedly flipped through it and put it back.
But even this made his heart flutter.
There are a lot of things related to the "Heavenly Circle" in this book.
When his mother taught him to play chess, she once said that the most difficult game in the world to break was the Heavenly Roundabout.
At that time, he only thought that he was talking chess, but this time, before coming to Taiping City, the words of Zuo Zhongtian, the Holy Envoy of the Chenyue Sect, woke him up, and I am afraid that everything is not so simple.
He even suspected that his father's insistence on going to Kunxu had something to do with it.
Ye Yu wandered to the bookshelf in the lower part of "Burning the Lamp" again, and looked through the first volume, and saw that what was written on it was some mysteries about the derivation of fate, as well as many names and biographies, which looked like a secret file, but I didn't know what it was for.
More than an hour passed like this.
Old Master Zhang left the Buddha Tower.
Lan Sa, who had been sitting by the window playing chess, picked up a chess piece, looked at the chessboard with his eyes and said, "Little baby, I haven't asked you yet, how can Huai'an's Dao Protector Jin Ming be on you?" ”
Ye was stunned, he knew that sooner or later the blue monster would ask about this stubble, and everything else was easy to say, but this matter was not easy to explain.
But he was prepared.
"I don't know, at that time he asked me to help him keep accounts for the coolies, I felt dizzy after being busy for a while, and I had a strange dream when I was resting, and I saw a black dragon bear the punishment of heaven, and finally was struck by a golden lightning, completely wiped out, and I woke up with this thing in my head"
"But that's not what you said at the time"
Lan Sa lightly tapped the tip of his finger on the chessboard and slowly buckled it.
The night heart lake suddenly rolled in waves, and the qi in the body suddenly flowed like a river flooding, rushing for thousands of miles in one breath, and the whole body seemed to burst from the inside to the outside.
It was the first time he had encountered such a method of "clasping his fingers and talking to his heart", and he was busy trying his best to collect the gas machine, and said angrily: "I'm not stupid, that black dragon is the incarnation of Huai'an, if I say that I saw him killed by thunder, would he be willing?" ”
Lan Sa fell again, and said slowly: "How can you tell that the black dragon is his incarnation?" ”
Ye Yan's heart was like being hammered again, his legs were weak, he collapsed to the ground, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with blood: "He shouted himself, Huaigen Lao'er, you hurt me again!" ”
Lan Sa's eyes narrowed slightly, and he twisted up again: "It's as simple as that?" ”
Yeyu's face was pale, and he tried his best to lean his body against the bookshelf, and raised his head with difficulty: "What do you want?" ”
Lan Sa turned his head to look at him, was silent for a long time, and finally put the third chess piece back into the chess box, slowly stood up, and walked downstairs.
"Just stay here these days and find me the scripture as soon as possible."
