Chapter 1079: First Journey to the West(1/2)
Jiang Zhiwei, Zhang Yuanshan, Fu Zhenzhen, Qi Zhengyan and Ruan Yushu all contributed a little bit, and finally they got enough, otherwise Meng Qi would have to replace the "Tian Luo Di Net" and the Seven-Star Begonia Candle.
The beam of light was steaming, and Meng Qi had an evil eye in his hand. It was black in color, deep and dark, and was embedded in the green wood, like a pendant.
He thought that he had Zi Shang, so he gave the "God-Breaking Eye" to Ge Huai'en for safekeeping. Fu Zhenzhen got the Demon Mirror, and Ruan Yushu got the Demon-Breaking Arrow.
After exchanging these, there was not much time left, and everyone quietly waited for the mission to start.
The light beam dropped, and Meng Qi and others' eyes blurred, and their positions changed.
This is a meditation hall, but it is very dilapidated. The floor tiles are broken and clumps of weeds have grown up. The golden paint of the Buddha statue has withered and fell to the ground and turned into several pieces.
With a compassionate smile on its head, it rolled to the edge of the house and looked at Meng Qi and the others.
…………
Above the thirty-third heaven, there is a fairyland, with fairy birds flying around, spiritual springs gushing out, spiritual grass everywhere, and strange flowers growing on the ground.
They surround an ordinary palace and write three indescribable words:
"Tushita Palace."
In the palace, the Bagua stove was placed steadily on the fire. An old man in Taoist attire sat in front of the stove with his eyes closed. Two boys in gold Taoist robes and silver Taoist robes fanned the fire and looked at the stove.
Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes and looked down.
"Sir, is there anything unusual in Hezhou, Xiniu?" the boy in golden robe asked in surprise.
The old man with gray hair and childlike face shook his head: "It doesn't matter, let them go."
He closed his eyes again, pointed his hand, and opened the Bagua furnace. The light soared into the sky, straight into the Milky Way, and covered a star.
The stars gradually set, but there was a fireball shaped like the sun. It was scorching and terrifying, so big that it seemed to fill the four continents. The surrounding space was distorted and collapsed, and there seemed to be golden crows flying around inside.
The two boys were trembling with fear from the terrible pressure, but the "sun" was unable to escape its brilliance, getting smaller and smaller, getting closer and closer, and fell directly into the furnace.
The old man in Taoist attire pointed his hand again, and the stove lid was closed, and there was no sound inside.
His eyes were always closed, showing no sadness or joy. It seemed that no external object could disturb him, and it remained unchanged for hundreds, thousands, or even ten thousand years.
"This furnace elixir has been refined for six hundred and twenty-seven years..." The silver-robed boy took a deep breath.
At the foot of Lingshan Mountain, nine shiny and supple tails were swaying. The owner of the tails had the same body shape as a human, except for a pair of fox ears on his head.
This person is Shang Yi who quietly threw himself into the world of Journey to the West. He became a nine-tailed fox, and he mainly focused on the path of the nine-tailed celestial fox that devoured the world. He practiced the "Nine-tailed Fox" that Shang Yi had previously given to the little fox.
"Wei Tian Gong".
Hu Jiu, who was practicing in the cave, suddenly listened to something and then whispered:
"Are you here already? You're really on time!"
Immediately afterwards, a white fox ran in from outside the cave, crawled in front of Hu Jiu and said:
"Your Majesty, there are a few more human auras near the foot of Lingshan Mountain, we..."
Obviously, Meng Qi and others were noticed by many monsters as soon as they appeared. However, the monsters who can survive under Lingshan are not stupid. How could they not know that humans who can suddenly appear are not simple?
Hu Jiu shook his head and said:
"Don't worry about them, let the little foxes go back to the cave, and stop wandering outside during this period of time!"
When Bai Hu heard this, he nodded immediately and said:
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Bai Hu didn't question Hu Jiu's decision at all, and believed in Hu Jiu fanatically.
After all, before the rise of Hu Jiu, these little foxes were just food for the big monsters at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. With the rise of Hu Jiu, they defeated these big monsters one by one, and these little foxes had a place to live here.
Therefore, they will not question any of Hu Jiu's orders.
The divine light in Hu Jiu's eyes flickered, as if penetrating time and space. In fact, the place where they were was not very far from Meng Qi and others, so he could see several people after using the power of the Sky Eye.
There were weeds growing on the ground, the doors and windows were broken, and the Buddha statue was gray. It seemed that someone had pushed him directly from the lotus platform, and it fell to pieces. His head rolled to the wall, and he happened to "look" at Meng Qi and others with a compassionate smile on his face.
This made Meng Qi shudder a little. The Great Sage is a demon, Ben Bo'er Ba is a demon, and Grandma is also a demon. But their painting styles are completely different. Could it be that they encountered the latter?
Jiang Zhiwei and others looked at the meditation hall, but could not find anything noteworthy, nor did they find any enemies.
Ge Huaien looked solemn, took a few deep breaths, closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing for a moment, and then threw out a few copper coins in his palm.
Everyone knew that he was making predictions and did not dare to disturb him. They were all on guard in different directions.
Shang Yi looked inexplicably towards Kong Kuang, or in the direction of Hu Jiu.
This is not to hide Meng Qi and others, but to deceive God who is observing here. Under the cover of the money in the sky, God is temporarily unable to discover the connection between Shang Yi and Hu Jiu.
Ding... The sound of coins rolling on the ground gradually dissipated. Ge Huaien took a closer look and his face changed slightly: "This place is very dangerous!"
"Which direction is more likely to be safe?" Meng Qi asked. Anyway, everyone had a blank look and didn't know where they were now or where the danger came from. So leaving according to the divination results was the last option.
Ge Huaien picked up the copper coins and tossed them several times. His face became more solemn. With his calm and peaceful character, he also looked slightly gloomy: "There are omens of great danger in every direction. We seem to be in a desperate situation."
Everyone let out a sigh of relief, but they were not too disappointed. Otherwise, it would not be a death mission.
"In this case, it's getting dark, so it's better for us to stay than to leave."
Shang Yi spoke his opinions confidently and was able to inspire people to agree.
The sun was sinking in the west outside the window, dyeing the sky red, and the surrounding area already seemed dim.
Meng Qi nodded directly and said: "It should be so."
He is someone who has watched Journey to the West, and with the description of the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation as "demon chaos in the world", he can probably imagine the grand scene of a mountain with a nest of monsters, and many monsters are good at hiding and sneaking, often hunting prey at night, in this case
, walking at night is very dangerous. If you accidentally get caught in the road, you will be caught and steamed or fried. It is better to stick to this ruined temple and wait for dawn.
"Okay." Jiang Zhiwei had no objection to this.
Zhang Yuanshan worked calmly and meticulously, and immediately said: "Then let's inspect the temple together and eliminate internal hidden dangers."
At this time, everyone must advance and retreat together, and must not be divided or left alone, otherwise they will be just like corpses when they meet again.
There was no objection to his proposal. Meng Qi took the lead, and everyone else had their place. As soon as he opened the door, a crow sounded, and a flock of crows flew from the roofs. There was a feeling of black clouds rising, and the ruins in the dusk
The temple is set off to look desolate, deserted, and eerie.
From what Meng Qi could see, the square outside the meditation hall was also overgrown with weeds, littered with bird excrement and animal feces, with broken walls and broken tiles everywhere. It looked like it had been neglected for who knows how many years.
"We have to finish the inspection before it gets dark."
Zhang Yuanshan has matured a lot and opened his mouth.
Meng Qi nodded, holding a knife in his right hand and a sword in his left hand. He led everyone to search the Zen room courtyard one by one. He found that there was no one here. Some of the wooden tables and chairs were so rotten that they would collapse at the touch of a touch. Occasionally, a skinny animal could be seen.
The mice walked by as if there was no one there.
About half an hour later, the sky became darker and darker, and it already felt like night. Jiang Zhiwei and Fu Zhenzhen lit the huozhezi, illuminating the surrounding environment.
They had probably finished searching the main body of the temple, but found nothing weird or anything valuable. Some of the rotting corpses of wild beasts had been chewed to pieces. Apparently there were wild dogs waiting to visit.
"It seems that it is not a monster that can drive ghosts." Zhang Yuanshan made a judgment.
There was an era in the main world when monsters were in chaos on the earth, and all kinds of monsters emerged in endlessly. Although they were later suppressed by the Human Emperor and hid in Tianhaiyuan and other places, they still appeared from time to time and caused disasters. Therefore, each sect has very detailed records of monsters.
, Zhang Yuanshan, as the direct descendant of Zhenwu, naturally has various methods and know-how checks.
Meng Qi looked back at the temple gate, only to see the darkness outside, which seemed to contain endless dangers: "Then we mainly guard against the monsters outside."
The plaque on the main entrance seems to have disappeared long ago, making it impossible for them to know which temple they are in.
"Let's go back to the original Zen Hall first. The location is the most suitable." Jiang Zhiwei weighed the conditions of each Zen hall and the distance between the gates before making suggestions.
Meng Qi was confident and walked in front again. It was obvious that the meditation hall just now was the main hall of this temple.
When he was approaching the meditation room, Meng Qi suddenly caught sight of a golden sparkle under the firelight.
"Hey, the gold paint on the Buddha statue has become dull. Where did the gold come from?" Meng Qi frowned slightly, walked over, and found that it was a plaque covered with moss and weeds, and the gold color was the stroke of the text on it.
"Plaque?" Jiang Zhiwei asked with pointed eyes, "You can see what kind of temple this is."
Although we are in a strange world of reincarnation, it is useless to know the names of temples and places. But after all, it is a Buddhist temple. It cannot be said that it is consistent with Buddhism in the main world. We can judge some situations from it, just like the Shaolin in the Duoercha world. In addition to being different from the Shaolin in the main world, The layout is the same, and the one worshiped is Tathagata.
Meng Qi did know the names of several temples in Journey to the West, such as Jinshan Temple, but he couldn't tell where they were from, so he used "whispers" to remove the weeds and moss on them.
With his skill, the last word at the bottom quickly appeared, which was the Sanskrit word "Temple". If Meng Qi hadn't learned it in Shaolin, no one here would have been able to recognize it.
Scratching it upwards, the Sanskrit word "yin" was revealed. Meng Qi's face changed slightly and his breathing stopped a little. It couldn't be "Little Leiyin Temple"! Not to mention the Yellow Eyebrow Patriarch who was taken away, there was a random leader in it. , you can eat yourself and others alive.
"Isn't it right?" Ruan Yushu seemed to notice Meng Qi's nervousness, and everyone's breathing suddenly became lighter.
Meng Qi shook his head and continued scraping weeds and moss. Eight hundred years have passed, and the monsters here should have moved away long ago. After all, the Yellow-browed Ancestor was taken away by Maitreya Buddha.
The golden Sanskrit characters were revealed bit by bit, and Meng Qi's heartbeat suddenly slowed down. It was really the word "Thunder"!
Xiaoleiyin Temple...Does this mean we are in Hezhou, Xiniu? It is really full of monsters, big and small!
Feeling that he had confirmed the result, Meng Qi relaxed a little. Looking at the dilapidated appearance, it didn't look like there was a powerful monster living there.
He removed the remaining weeds at will, intending to make the word "small" appear. Suddenly, he laughed in his heart: "It turns out that it is not the word 'small', but 'big', which means it is not Xiaoleiyin Temple anymore. good……"
Just when he thought of this, his pupils shrank violently, his expression froze, and a turmoil arose in his heart.
There is no word "small", but "big". Wouldn't that be the "Da Leiyin Temple"? The "Da Leiyin Temple" where Tathagata Buddha lived during his journey to the west?
To be continued...
