Chapter 469: Martyrdom

Li Sen only felt that the golden light flashed in front of him, and his body had already come to the void.

But in an instant, Li Sen's feet had already landed on the hard ground.

The golden mangs in front of him gradually dissipated, and Li Sen's eyesight finally recovered. Immediately, Li Sen narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced around.

I saw that the light and shadow around me were dim, and the shadows and shadows could not be seen clearly. But you can vaguely tell that this is an extremely large book pavilion.

On all sides of where Li Sen stood, there were old bookshelves about a foot high, and the shelves were full of all kinds of ancient books. At a glance, there are hundreds of bookshelves and no less than 100,000 books just as far as the eye can see.

Li Senfu looked up again, and saw that above the library, there was a dark cyan ceiling that was extremely flat, and the material was as shiny as marble. But every ten zhang or so, there will be a slowly rotating golden ** on the ceiling, exuding a mellow light, which looks very strange.

All the dim lights in this library come from these golden **.

As for the ground underfoot, it seems to be paved with cyan slate of the same material, but the color looks more worn, so it is lighter.

Seeing this scene in his eyes, the vigilance in Li Sen's heart disappeared a lot. I know in my heart that this is probably the 'Tibetan Scripture Pavilion' that the abbot of Yuanming said.

It's just that Li Sen didn't expect that the famous 'Tibetan Scripture Pavilion' of Buddhism was not a library pavilion in the ordinary sense, but such an independent small space.

Li Sen turned around, and said with a hint of emotion: "Your Sect's Scripture Pavilion is so grand that Li is in awe. It seems that the rumors of this pavilion in the human world are not groundless, and even the rumors are better than the rumors. ”

Ever since Abbot Yuanming teleported Li Sen into the 'Hidden Scripture Pavilion', he had been standing behind Li Sen and smiling silently. Hearing Li Sen's words of praise at this moment, he smiled reservedly.

Master Li praised it falsely. Although there are many books in the collection here, there are still a lot of missing compared to 10,000 years ago. As one of the stewards of the Scripture Pavilion, one of the most important tasks of the old man is to be responsible for recovering the lost Buddhist texts. In this regard, I am afraid that in the future, I will need more help from Master Li. ”

"Well said, well said. Li Sen smiled slightly and gave up.

In this case, the old man did not bother Li Shizhu's Yaxing, and took his leave. If Master Li is tired of reading the scriptures and wants to rest, then he only needs to shake the bell, and the old man will naturally lead Master Li to leave. ”

As he spoke, the abbot of Yuanming also took out a brass bell the size of an inch and handed it to Li Sen.

Li Sen took it and glanced at the bell, only to feel that although this bell was very ordinary at first glance, he could see the intricate patterns inside the bell when he carefully distinguished, and there were several extremely delicate small formations hidden in it. Therefore, this ordinary brass bell is a genuine Buddhist ritual vessel.

Seeing this, Li Sen nodded secretly and put the bell in his sleeve.

The abbot of Yuanming titheed again, and then the golden light flashed on his body, and his body turned into nothingness, and slowly disappeared in front of Li Sen's eyes.

Li Sen stood quietly in place, and waited until the abbot of Yuanming left for a while, and then Li Sen flicked the corner of his shirt and strolled in the Scripture Pavilion.

......

Kuzhu Island, back mountain.

The Pavilion is a small space independent of the human world, so when the abbot of the Yuan Ming Dynasty left the Pavilion of the Scriptures, he appeared directly in the thatched hut in the back mountain.

But at this moment, in the thatched hut, there are four more old monks wearing yellow robes, standing or sitting.

As soon as they saw the return of the abbot of Yuanming, they immediately unceremoniously surrounded the abbot of Yuanming in the center.

One of the oldest monks, with a pair of eyes firmly fixed on the abbot of Yuanming, asked in a deep voice: "Yuanming, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is the supreme forbidden place of my Buddhist sect, which is enough to affect the life and death of our Buddhist sect! How can you let this unknown outsider enter it?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Another yellow-robed old monk also said coldly: "If this kid has any evil intentions and burns down the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, our Buddhism will accumulate hundreds of thousands of years of heritage, but it will be wiped out in an instant!"

The third yellow-robed old monk also said with an extremely unhappy expression: "The Tibetan Scripture Pavilion is not only the key to the survival of the Buddhist sect, but also the holy place in the hearts of Buddhist monks such as us! Only extremely pious and extremely qualified Buddhist disciples are qualified to enter it and read the scriptures! How can you let a junior from an unknown origin in the foundation building period break in?"

"Did you hear that? Why don't you catch that kid out quickly? We can wait without hurting his life, but we must not let him stay in the Scripture Pavilion!" the fourth yellow-robed old man even showed an angry face.

When the abbot of Yuanming heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

She didn't expect that she had just returned to the back mountain from the Scripture Pavilion, and she was forced to advance and retreat by these four fellow Taoists in this thatched hut.

"Zen masters, calm down, Lao Qu does this, naturally there is a certain reason. Therefore, please let a few people be calm and let Lao Wei explain in detail. ”

When the four yellow-robed old monks heard Abbot Yuanming say this, they each took a step back, and then looked at Abbot Yuanming without saying a word.

Abbot Yuanming sighed slightly, then turned the Buddha bead in his hand, and said slowly: "Li Sen is not just an ordinary monk in the foundation building period, this person has an unusual background, and has a great relationship with our Buddhism. Ladies and gentlemen, do you still remember the 'Five-Colored Buddha Wheel', a sacred relic of Buddhism?"

"Five-colored Buddha wheel?"

When the four yellow-robed old monks heard the name of this thing, they were all slightly moved.

One of the yellow-robed old monks spoke: "The five-colored Buddha wheel, like the brocade robe and the nine-ring tin staff, are all sacred relics of my Buddhist sect. In terms of value, it is only second only to the Buddha's bone relics, how can the old monk not know? It's just that this junior Li Sen of the Taoist sect has nothing to do with the five-colored Buddha wheel, a sacred relic of my Buddhism?"

Abbot Yuanming shook his head lightly: "The words of Zen Master Zhengkong are wrong, the 'five-color Buddha wheel' is essentially a Buddhist instrument that jumps out of the cycle of cause and effect, so its main role is to identify the past and predict the future. For hundreds of thousands of years, this prediction has never failed, and it can be described as a divine accuracy. ”

Hearing this, the old face of the Zhengkong Zen Master showed a hint of thoughtfulness.

"According to your words, there was an omen about Li Sen on the five-colored Buddha wheel?"

Abbot Yuanming nodded slightly: "Yes." Not only that, but the five-color Buddha wheel also foreshadowed a large-scale invasion of the demon world, and the final destruction of the human world. And my Buddhism will also face the only catastrophe that has never been seen before. And this Li Sen in your mouth will become the savior who will turn the tide at that time. ”

"Shhh

As soon as Abbot Yuanming said this, the four yellow-robed old monks all gasped!

Zhengkong's voice trembled a little and said, "However, more than thirty years ago, when we met here because of the omen of the five-colored Buddha wheel, you didn't mention Li Sen at all!"

"That's because the five-colored Buddha wheel only hints at the person who will save the world, but it doesn't show who it is. No matter how much the old man urges, the picture is still empty. Abbot Yuanming said.

"Then how can you be sure that Li Sen is the so-called savior of the five-colored Buddha wheel?" asked Zen Master Zhengkong unceremoniously.

Abbot Yuanming said in a calm tone: "Ever since I learned the news, I have been looking for the so-called savior of the five-colored Buddha wheel. It wasn't until more than ten years ago, after Lao Qu first met Li Sen in the Red Maple Valley of Wu Kingdom, that he felt as if he had found it. ”

When Zen Master Zhengkong heard this, he showed a look of half-belief, but he didn't speak, still looking at the abbot of Yuanming, as if waiting for Abbot Yuanming's detailed explanation.

The other three yellow-robed old monks also looked at the abbot of Yuanming in general.

Abbot Yuanming said: "When the old man first saw Li Sen, he only felt that this junior was not simple, whether it was courage, courage, means, and intelligence, he could be called the leader of the younger generation. If we can absorb these talents into my Buddhism, it will definitely be a very good thing. Therefore, I instructed the disciples on the island to pay more attention to them, and invite them to the island if they have the opportunity. ”

Later, this son really came to Kuzhu Island as promised. The old man was also able to observe this son up close. It turned out that this son was by no means as simple as the old man had thought. Because the wisp of divine soul power hidden in the deepest part of the sea of consciousness is even more powerful than Lao Qu!"

As soon as these words came out, the yellow-robed old monks all looked solemn and glanced at each other.

Only then did Abbot Yuanming sigh with emotion: "If it weren't for the fact that the Buddhist exercises practiced by Lao Wei were relatively special, and he could identify the strength of the monk's divine soul, I am afraid it would be difficult to find out about this matter at all." But because of this, Lao Wei finally came to a conclusion. ”

"What's the conclusion?" asked Zen Master Zhengkong.

"That's this Li Sen, it's clear that he was the Mixed Yuan Sword Demon who fell under the thunder tribulation decades ago! It's just that because his body was destroyed under the thunder, he had to be reincarnated and became what he is today. ”

Hearing the word 'seizure', the four old monks all frowned, as if they were a little disgusted by the word.

The abbot of Yuanming continued unappetizingly: "At this point, the old man has also completely figured out why the five-colored Buddha wheel did not show the appearance of a savior. Because this new body after Li Sen took the relinquishment had not really been born more than thirty years ago, it naturally had no form to speak of. Moreover, those who can turn the tide and save sentient beings in the midst of the great calamity of the human world must also need extraordinary people with extraordinary means to do so. And in the human world, there are not many such extraordinary people. But the Mixed Yuan Sword Demon is definitely one of the best. ”

However, when Lao Ke first met Li Sen at that time, these things could only be regarded as Lao Qu's delusions. Therefore, in order to verify this idea, Lao Wei gave Li Sen a special task. ”

Hearing this, Zen Master Zhengkong pondered: "You mean the later 'Sea Clan Festival'?"

"Not bad!"

Abbot Yuanming nodded, then took a deep breath and said slowly: "At that time, it was already very close to the time of the invasion of the demon monks predicted by the five-colored Buddha wheel. Therefore, in addition to inspecting Li Sen, Lao Wei is also dealing with the demon tribulation. ”

"As for the way to deal with it, Lao Qu and Master Huaihai already have an idea, that is, to use the 'Buddha Light Relic' left over from the Buddhist sect for tens of thousands of years to temporarily solve this 'Demon Crisis'. If we succeed, our Buddhism, which has been silent for 10,000 years, will also usher in an opportunity to rise. ”

"However, our Buddhism has been suspicious for a long time, and the scope of movement has been restricted, so it is difficult to confirm the specific location of the demon invasion. Therefore, we need one of our people, under the pretext of participating in the 'Sea Clan Festival', to enter the Sea Clan land in advance to find an opportunity. After he discovered the demon monk, he summoned Master Huaihai and others, who had already been in place, to destroy the demon. ”

When Abbot Yuanming said this, a trace of self-reproach appeared on his face.

Needless to say, in the predetermined plan, this Buddhist disciple who was in charge of guiding the way was almost certain to die. Because he only has the cultivation of the foundation building period, but he has to face the brutal demon clan in the realm of the god transformation stage. However, since this move is related to the danger of the human world and the rise and fall of Buddhism, it is necessary to have a Buddhist disciple who is both capable and courageous in order to take on this responsibility. At that time, the predestined candidate for me and Huaihai Zen Master was my beloved disciple Enlightenment. ”

"Maybe it's out of selfishness, or maybe it's because he wants to test whether Li Sen is the savior mentioned on the five-color Buddha wheel. Therefore, I temporarily handed over this task of luring the enemy to Li Sen. After all, if Li Sen was really a chosen person as the Five-Colored Buddha Wheel said, then he would definitely not be in danger of his life, and he would even be able to complete this mission better. ”

Speaking of this, the abbot of Yuanming glanced at the four old monks.

"As you can see, Li Sen not only completed the task perfectly, but even played an extremely good role in the 'Battle of Demon Punishment'. Therefore, Lao Wei can almost conclude that Li Sen is the 'savior of the world' portented by the five-colored Buddha wheel. And this point, Master Huaihai, who has now inherited the mantle of 'Tianmo Grand Master', also agrees. ”

Hearing this, the four yellow-robed old monks glanced at each other and nodded slightly.

Zen Master Zhengkong said: "Since Master Huaihai also agrees with Li Sen, then we naturally have no objections. As a 'savior of the world', Li Sen does have this qualification to enter the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. But ......"

Speaking of this, the old eyes of Zen Master Zhengkong suddenly narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of strangeness.

And his voice suddenly became extremely low.

"Yuan Ming, I came to look for you at this moment, not for Li Sen's business, but for the black-robed monk who didn't know the origin. ”

After a slight pause, Zen Master Zhengkong said slowly, "Aren't you able to distinguish the strength or weakness of a monk's divine soul?
