Yushe City, in the Xiangtang Temple. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zhong Wei stood quietly in front of the ancestral hall, just standing in the grotto in a daze.

"Father. How are you doing over there?The boy is now grown up, and has begun to lead the army as you expected, and has driven the thief back to Luzhou, so that when the time comes, he will be able to destroy those fellows once and for all, and avenge his father. It's just Father, but when you're over there, you must pay attention to your body, and don't drink as much as you always do. Got it?"

It's been a while since he returned to Yushe City, but Zhong Wei still feels that there is a gloomy aura enveloping the entire city, and no matter how strong the wind blows, it can't be blown away.

He thought of his father, at that time, in order to be able to fight against the Red Phoenix Army, he built Yushe City in this place.

However, before Yushe City was built, he was defeated because of the ferocious attack of the Red Phoenix Army, and not only failed, but even his own life was also put into it.

This has always been a source of resentment for Zhong Wei, and now he has finally recaptured Yushe City, and as his father had done before, he besieged and consumed his army on all sides, so as to win without a fight and completely annihilate the red thief.

Thinking of this, Zhong Wei raised his head slightly, but closed his eyes and prayed: "Buddha." You have vast magical powers and vast Buddha light, and you should know that there is still the red thief in troubled times on this earth. Everywhere he went, not a single grass grew, but he was the first-class demon in the world. So please be able to protect us and annihilate the thief once and for all. ”

A ray of sunlight fell from the top of his head, but it made the Shakyamuni in front of him bloom a ray of light, and his face was round and jade, revealing a sense of sacredness, which made Zhong Wei obsessed, and hurriedly bowed his head and bowed, not daring to be rude.

His lips were slightly upturned to bring out a smile, his long ears and shoulders were hanging down, and his expression was kind and serene, like an elder who was here to urge him, teach him, and let him know what to do in the future.

Looking at this statue, Zhong Wei regained his confidence, and after scanning the surrounding scenes, he said: "After my deeds are completed, I will definitely come back to worship the Buddha and reinstall the golden body for the Buddha." ”

On the cave wall, rows of small Buddha statues are lined up one after another, dazzling, scattered throughout the cave wall, and there are thousands of them if you count them carefully.

If you look up, you can see on the top of the cave, but there are tricks and flying flying circles in it, all of which are extremely exquisite.

I saw that they were elegant, charming, like the people in the Goulan Tile House, or playing the vertical gonghou, or stroking the round piano, or playing the bamboo fungus, or playing the horizontal flute, as if they were inspiring and playing.

And all of this was built in the Northern Qi era.

Nowadays, with the craftsmanship of the original craftsmen, today's people have presented the once lively scenes one by one, which is more vivid.

It also shows that at that time, Buddhism was prosperous and prosperous, but now, this Buddhist prosperity has long since faded a lot, and it cannot be compared with the usual times.

"Donor, it's time to leave. ”

The dust and light left, and I don't know when I was in the grotto, but a monk appeared.

Only then did Zhong Wei come to his senses, looked back at the series, and replied apologetically: "I didn't pay attention to the time, please host Mo Wei." It's just that I can ask one thing, since the fall of Yushe City last year, I heard that Na Miao Shan in order to avoid disaster, so he hid here to practice, I wonder if you can say a word for me? Just say that an old friend is visiting. If there is any annoyance, please don't blame it. ”

He was saved by Miao Shan that day, and he survived.

Then the two separated, Zhong Wei went directly north to Ha Thorn and Lin to report on his work, but Miao Shan escaped into this Xiangtang Temple on the grounds that his cultivation was insufficient, and began to practice asceticism by closing his whole body.

Among them, only a few people know about it, so as not to be inquired about by the Chifeng Army and then provoke trouble.

With Xiao Feng's character, he categorically can't tolerate a heretical foreign sect that he doesn't own.

"It doesn't matter. The presiding officer of Xiangtang Temple also generally looked back and gave gifts, so he led Zhong Wei towards the depths of Xiangtang Temple: "You should also know." Miao Shan's predecessor was seriously injured by Xiao Feng at one time, so he had to close the Dharma body with the method of golden body relics to make the body heal. I'm afraid that if you see it, he won't pay attention to you. ”

Zhong Wei followed closely, but saw that the presiding officer of Xiangtang Temple was not in a hurry, but he walked out of Xiangtang Temple and stepped into a stone path.

This stone path is just paved with stone slabs of square size, it is full of leaves, it should have not been cleaned for a long time, both sides are also dense maple leaves, occasionally there are pine trees staggered, red and green are staggered, contrasting with each other, under the sunset and setting sun, it is like that kaleidoscope, it looks incomparably gorgeous, and I don't know what strange things are hidden at the end of this stone path.

Zhong Wei felt a little strange and asked, "Where does this road lead?"

He'd been here before, but he'd never seen such a place, could it be that guy was hiding here?

The host explained: "This place leads to the 'Bitter Zen Forest', and it is the place where the presiding officers of this temple have passed away, and outsiders have never been allowed to enter, only people from the Buddhist sect can enter this place. You are able to step into it today only because of that goodness. After all, he had told me that if a young general came to him, he would ask me to bring him here. That wonderful kindness once helped me, and today's love can be regarded as paying off the debt. ”

"I see. ”

Zhong Wei came to his senses at this time, staring at the Zen forest in the distance, and was even more puzzled in his heart.

In such an environment, what is that guy doing here?

After walking for about three minutes, there was a lack of pine trees on both sides, and even the maple leaves were much sparser, and at the end of the walk was a bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest is not large, only ten zhang square, and it forms a circle between each other. Walking through the bamboo forest, you can see that there are seven statues standing in the bamboo forest. These statues are golden in color, and their facial features are unusually clear, enough for people to see every subtle trace on them, and they are sitting or standing, lying or lying, in different postures, and they are crying or laughing, happy or annoyed, all kinds of beings, one by one, it is really a strange and mysterious place.

"What are these?"

Zhong Wei had been surprised before, but now he was quite shocked when he suddenly saw so many statues, and he unconsciously looked at the host of the Xiangtang Temple next to him, wanting to see his expression.

The presiding officer of the Xiangtang Temple said: "This place is the bitter Zen forest. It is the place where the presiding officers of my Xiangtang Temple have passed away. And these six statues are the immortals left behind after the death of the previous presiding officers. Whenever the presiding officers of the past generations felt that they were about to pass away, they would come here to run their own unique method, turning their entire body into a golden body, so that they could retain their cultivation for future generations to practice and admire. Of course, there are restrictions on this method, and at least, it can only be used by Danding realm cultivators. It's a pity that I added it in vain."

There are also such methods in the Daomen.

For example, the two ancestors on the top of the Cuiwei Peak of Zhenze Palace, where Xiao Feng was born, also used the same technique to retain their bodies.

It's just that because the Buddha's path is different, the methods used are also different.

"Eighteen statues?"

Zhong Wei was puzzled, and when he saw this scene, he counted them, and knew that there were only nineteen statues here, why were there only eighteen?

It's just that when he thought about what Miao Shan said at the beginning, he remembered a reason.

And the host of the Xiangtang Temple said loudly: "That's right, it's eighteen. As for the man you seek, it should be in the middle. ”
