Early the next morning, everyone woke up and went to the Jingsi Hall to have breakfast. As soon as they entered the room, they saw Abbot Mingyi. The old man smiled at them, then lowered his head and ate the meal in front of him. Breakfast was porridge, steamed buns, eggs, and

A plate of small pickles, everyone took a tentative sip of the porridge, and found that there was nothing unusual about today's breakfast, so they started eating with confidence.

Halfway through the meal, Wu Jing hurried in, came to Abbot Mingyi, clasped his hands and said, "Master, something big has happened. When I was delivering food to those four people today, I found that all the plain wine in the kitchen had suddenly disappeared.

Obviously I prepared it just the day before yesterday, but those four people were very unhappy when they saw that there was no wine today, and they clamored for a drink. If they didn't drink, they would go out and ask for a drink themselves."

Everyone was stunned at first, those four people? It seemed that there were other people besides them in Kaiyang Temple, but for some reason those people didn't show up. Then they all became nervous again. These six people were drinking this wine last night.

It was not exciting, so we all came down from the roof and went to the kitchen to search around, sweeping away all the remaining vegetarian wine in the kitchen. There are only so many people in Kaiyang Temple, and you can figure it out with your brain.

Who did it.

Abbot Mingyi was stunned when he heard this. After seeing the reactions of everyone at the table, he laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, tell them that the vegetarian wine is temporarily gone. After breakfast, you and Wu Neng will go out to buy some."

yes."

"Yes." Wu Jing accepted the order, turned around and went out.

Abbot Mingyi glanced at these six people, smiled, shook his head and continued eating.

In this way, everyone finished breakfast in a strange atmosphere. After eating, everyone cleared away the dishes and put them back in the kitchen.

Liu Zhida put the bowls and chopsticks into the pool and asked: "You guys said, this old man obviously knew that we had stolen wine last night, why didn't he point it out and instead helped us hide the past?"

"Needless to say, the food this old man cooked yesterday was so terrible. It's good that we didn't tell him about it. Why would he point it out to us? That would indirectly prove that he doesn't know how to cook.

Are you ready?" Xie Gaoqiang pouted, took out a cigar from his pocket and lit it, and the kitchen was filled with smoke.

"That may be the reason, but we can't drink this wine for free. We have to keep the money for the wine when we find Jiuding and leave. We can't let the old man pay for it himself. It's a favor for us to stay and drink, so we can't push it too far." Liu Gang said.

As he said that, he cleaned the dishes and chopsticks in the sink and arranged them neatly.

"That's true." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"By the way, have you seen the big cauldron placed in the courtyard after entering the temple? Does it look like the Jingzhou cauldron to you?" Liu Gang wiped his hands and turned around and asked.

Li Minghao and Tang Chao shook their heads together, "The aura of the big cauldron in the courtyard has been obscured by the Buddha's light in Kaiyang Temple. I really can't tell if it's a Jiuding. I'll know if I go and take a look later.

"As he spoke, Li Minghao turned to look at Tang Chao, who nodded: "Let's go take a look later. I didn't take a close look yesterday."

"Okay, you can go take a look later and tell me when the time comes. The four of us walked around Kaiyang Temple to see if there are any clues about the Jingzhou Cauldron." Liu Gang nodded and said.

"good."

In this way, Li Minghao and Tang Chao arrived in front of the Jingzhou tripod, while the other four people spread out and launched a large search in Kaiyang Temple.

Standing in front of the big cauldron in the courtyard, Li Minghao looked at the big cauldron in front of him for a while, which was full of incense ash. He then raised his head and glanced at the Main Hall in front of him. He didn't know why, but there was no Buddha's light in the Main Hall today.

However, this provided them with convenience. Li Minghao took two steps back and used his clairvoyance.

"How's it going? Is it Jingzhou Ding?" After Li Minghao looked at it for a while, Tang Chao asked when he saw that he didn't move.

Li Minghao sighed, shook his head and said: "The aura is very small. Compared with other Jiuding's soaring aura, it is completely in the sky and on the earth. I think this is probably because of the blessing of Buddha's light, so it has this aura."

"Isn't Jiuding very good at hiding? What if he did it on purpose? We have encountered this situation before. After all, after Jiuding disappeared, it turned into various things and silently guarded Kyushu." Tang Chao

He opened his eyes and took a quick look, but still didn't believe it. He pulled out his sword and struck it lightly on the cauldron.

After a crisp sound, a small gap appeared where the sword struck. Other than that, there was no change in the cauldron. Tang Chao sighed and took back the sword: "It seems that it is not true. Now we have to start from scratch again."

here we go."

Li Minghao closed his eyes and looked up at the bell tower behind the Main Hall: "Brother, didn't we say last night that this bell tower feels awkward because it is not where it should be. Do you think this Jingzhou Tripod can be hidden?

In the bell tower?"

Tang Chao looked at the bell tower: "I don't know, but I think there must be something wrong with this bell tower, otherwise it wouldn't be in such an awkward place. That place completely ruined the Feng Shui structure of the temple."

"Let's go see where." Li Minghao looked at Tang Chao.

Tang Chao nodded: "Okay, let's go in and find out."

After that, the two of them walked towards the bell tower behind the Main Hall.

To their surprise, when they walked to the bell tower, the other four people were also in front of the bell tower, looking up at the top floor of the bell tower.

"Why are you all here?" Li Minghao was a little confused. These four people had searched Kaiyang Temple so quickly?

"I just called San Kuai. He said that if the big incense burner at the door is not good, then look for anything that feels wrong or awkward in Kaiyang Temple. I asked him if he knew anything, and he said he knew everything.

I don’t know, I just looked at the photo and felt that the bell tower behind the main hall is a bit awkward.

"So we all came over and found that it was locked. There must be something wrong here." Liu Gang pointed to the door of the bell tower, which had a big lock on it. Li Minghao walked closer and pulled out his Tang Dao.

I struck the lock correctly, and a spark flashed. There was nothing wrong with the lock, there was just an extra white mark on it.

"Don't even think about picking the lock. I tried it just now, but it couldn't be opened at all. The keyhole of this lock is weird. Once you get in, you can't get in anymore. It took me a long time to figure out that I was at the keyhole all along.

Toss it around." Liu Zhida said, reaching out and taking out two bent lock picking needles.

"Then what should we do?" Although Li Minghao wanted to attack by force, it didn't seem appropriate...

Just when everyone was at a loss, a powerful voice suddenly came from the bell tower: "Hey, who are the people outside, and why do they want to break into our residence?"

Tang Chao held Tai Chi in his hands and said loudly: "Friends inside, we don't want to break into your residence, but we are looking for something. That thing may be in this bell tower. I apologize to you for our impolite behavior."

, and I hope you can forgive me and let us go in to look for it."

"It is absolutely impossible to enter our residence. This is the forbidden area of ​​​​Kaiyang Temple. We have guarded this place for more than ten years. Why should we let you in so easily? Wouldn't that be inviting a wolf into the house?" As soon as he finished speaking, from the bell tower

Four black shadows fell down from the top floor, and everyone quickly moved out of the way for fear of being slapped to death.

These four black figures fell to the ground and crushed the bluestone bricks under their feet. Several people twitched at the corners of their mouths. The bell tower was at least four or five meters tall. Not only did they not get hurt when they jumped from here, they also directly crushed the bluestone bricks.

, which shows how strong this physical body is.

The four people who jumped down were four strong men. The strange thing was that these four people basically had the same appearance. They were probably quadruplets.

But there is something even stranger than their identical looks. The clothes on these four are not ordinary clothes, they look like some costumes. Three of them are holding various things in their hands, such as swords and pipas, and the other one is

There was also a flower marten standing on his shoulder. Li Minghao frowned: "Aren't these the four heavenly kings in the palace of heavenly kings?"

The so-called four heavenly kings refer to the four Buddhist Dharma-protecting heavenly kings: the Eastern King of the State, the Southern King of Growth, the Western King of Guangmu, and the Northern King of Duowen.

The Heavenly King of the Kingdom of the East, the meaning of the Kingdom is to be compassionate, protect all living beings, and protect the land, so he is called the Heavenly King of the Kingdom. He lives in the silver temple of Mount Xumi. His body is white, he wears armor, and he holds a pipa or a ruanqin. It has two meanings: first, the tightness of a stringed instrument.

It should be moderate. If it is too tight, it will break easily.

Taisong is silent, representing the practice of the Middle Way; secondly, it is the main music god, indicating that he will use music to convert all living beings to Buddhism. He is responsible for guarding the Dongsheng Shenzhou, with Gandharva, Kinnara, Fu

Shanna and Vaishya are the tribesmen, and they are the fourth heavenly kings among the twenty heavens.

The King of Growth in the South, "Growth" means being able to command sentient beings, grow good roots, and protect the Dharma, so he is called the King of Growth. He lives in the glazed temple of Mount Sumeru. He has a green body, wears armor, and holds a sword in his hand. It has two meanings: one,

The sword symbolizes wisdom, and the sword of wisdom cuts off worries; secondly, it is to protect the Dharma from infringement. He is responsible for guarding the Nanfang continent. He uses Jiupancha and Xiliduo as his tribe, and is the fifth of the twenty heavens.

King of Heaven.

The Western Guangmu Heavenly King, Guangmu means that he can observe the world at any time with his pure eyes and protect the people, so he is named Guangmu Heavenly King. He lives in the Crystal Temple of Mount Sumeru. He is red in color, wears armor, and has a dragon or snake wrapped around his hand. There are two meanings.

: One, it means the changing world, and two, it is the leader of the Dragon God. He holds a pearl in the other hand, which means the unchanging heart. He is responsible for guarding Xiniu Hezhou, with the Dragon King as his tribe, and is the leader of the twenty heavens.

The sixth heavenly king.

The king of the North who hears a lot is also known as Bishamon. He hears a lot, which means he is very proficient in Buddhism and has heard all over the world with his merits. He lives in the golden temple of Mount Sumeru. His body is green and he wears armor. He has a silver mouse lying on his left hand and holds a precious umbrella on his right. There are two

Meanings: 1. The umbrella cover represents the need to protect one’s inner self.

It is polluted by the external environment; secondly, it is used to cover the world, avoid harm from demons, and protect people's wealth. Also known as Shi Caitian, he is the god of wealth in ancient India. He is responsible for guarding Luzhou in Beikulu, with Yaksha and Rakshasa as his tribe.

, is the third heavenly king among the twenty heavens.

One of the four strong men with a sword in his hand smiled and said: "I didn't expect that there is still a wise person. Yes, we are the four heavenly kings. We are ordered by Abbot Mingyi to guard the bell tower and do not allow any

A person takes one step inside the bell tower!"

"Are your titles called the Four Generals of the Demon Family?" Looking at the weapons in the hands of the four in front of him, Tang Chao suddenly remembered a book he had read before called Fengshen Yanyi. These four generals were the same as the Four Generals of the Demon Family.

They will be exactly the same. But you must know that the King of Guangmu holds a snake or dragon in his hand, but the one with a flowered fox and marten on his shoulder.

"How do you know? Could it be that you have investigated us before?" When the strong man with the flowered fox and marten on his shoulder heard that the other party knew their names, he thought that these people were coming for them from the beginning, and immediately took a fighting stance.

When he was about to hit him, the fox-sable on his shoulder also showed its fangs and looked at everyone fiercely.

Tang Chao sighed and said: "You haven't read Fengshen Yanyi. You don't know this. You should read the book carefully when you have time. Of the four generals of the Demon family, Mo Liqing is the eldest brother and holds the Qingfeng

Sword. But he should also have a tiger-headed spear and a magic white jade diamond bracelet, but you don’t have either. Magic Li Hong is the second child, holding a Hunyuan Pearl Umbrella, and you don’t have his Square Heaven Halberd either.”

"The third brother is Moli Hai, and he carries a jade pipa. He doesn't have a spear, so you can only play the pipa? The younger brother is Moli Shou, and he uses two maces. There is a purple-gold fox marten, which is flying in the air.

, it appears like a white elephant, its mouth is like a basin of blood, its teeth are like sharp knives, and its ribs have flying wings. It eats all the people in the world and is extremely ferocious. The original poem says: 'This beast

The two Qi of Yin and Yang are in it. It can change in size at any time, and it eats up people's hearts like a wild bear." Tang Chao walked up to these four people and beat them one by one. The only thing among them that attracted him was

There was only the fox marten left. He smiled and touched its head, wondering if this thing is extinct. Why is it still there now?

Huahushou knew that he could not mess with the man in front of him, so he had to let Tang Chao pat his head obediently, and then grinned at him, but did not dare to bite him. Mo Lishou was also very puzzled when he saw Huahushu's situation.

, thinking about the time when the little mink bit anyone he didn't like, why was he afraid of this seemingly powerless scholar?

At this moment, Abbot Mingyi came over with two young novice monks, Wu Neng and Wu Jing. He looked at the people confronting each other and instantly understood what had happened. He laughed and said, "I see these two young novices."

The guy came in a panic, and I thought something had happened. I just went into the bell tower to look for something, and just let them in."

"Abbott, it's impossible. If they want to get in, they have to send someone to beat us four brothers first. Otherwise, don't even think about it." The boss Mo Liqing was not happy, he clasped his hands and bowed slightly and said.

"That's it... Okay, Gangzi, there's nothing my godfather can do, you see..." Abbot Mingyi sighed and looked at Liu Gang.

"It doesn't matter. Since they want to fight, let's have a good fight." When Li Minghao heard that he agreed with him, he walked out and stood in the field. The Tang knife made a buzzing sound, and the lines on it also became
