Li Huwei was startled after hearing Jin An's words.
Is there such a thing as Li...
Is there such a thing as Li...
He chewed it several times, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and his face showed joy.
"Okay, okay, Li should be like this, hahaha."
In the gloomy tomb passage, Li Weiwei laughed heartily.
As expected, Guard Li, who is bent on defeating evil and acting as his headless corpse king, has a lot of nerves.
Jin An: "?"
What a god Li Ying is.
Several black lines hung down Jin An's forehead, and he almost couldn't hold back and gave Li Guards a few fat beatings again. Was it because he thought they were not dangerous enough and wanted to attract the sleeping bloody roots around them?
After being glared at by Jin An, Li Huwei realized that he was in trouble and shut up, but he still secretly laughed in private.
Reunited with old comrades, although the identity of Guard Li who was disguised was not revealed, the atmosphere in the team was much more relaxed and the morale of the team was much more relaxed due to the 10 or 20 strong cavalry guards in the tomb passage. Under their familiarity and guidance, the group of more than 20 people
The rest of the journey will be uneventful.
Gradually go deeper underground in the tomb passage.
Along the way, he did not forget to leave marks for the captains and sharpen their swords for them.
In the dark tomb passage, there is no concept of distance or the passage of time, and I don’t know how far I have walked in the tomb passage. Suddenly, the Feng Shui master who was the most powerful in the tomb stopped everyone again, and there was another movement ahead.
people?
There are many people?
After listening to Mr. Feng Shui's reminder, everyone who was a little numb walking in the tomb became energetic and wondered if the captain and the others were in front.
Logically speaking, the largest number of people going to the tomb this time were them.
As expected.
After walking about a hundred steps in the dark in the tomb passage, a different building finally appeared in the same tomb passage. It was a stone hall made of stone strips, like a Hades palace.
The flickering light of torches could be faintly seen in the Hall of Hades.
"Good guy, the roots of the soul-nurturing trees around this underworld palace are as thick and big as his grandma's, and they are denser than anywhere we have walked along the way." Daochang Chen exclaimed.
The cavalry guard said at the right time that as long as you don't take the initiative to stimulate or approach these soul-nourishing tree roots, nothing will happen to them. They didn't encounter any danger when they came.
Unless stimulated by blood, these soul-nourishing tree roots are in a peaceful sleep.
There was a fire swaying in front of the Hades Palace, as if many people were walking around holding torches.
When Jin An stepped into the Hades Palace, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
The old Taoist priest was stunned for a moment, and then sighed regretfully.
This Palace of the Underworld is the center of the burial pit. On the stone walls around the Palace of the Underworld, dense caves have been carved, and in each cave there is a mummy nailed to death by hands and feet.
The hands and feet of the mummies were nailed alive here. Look at the clothes on the surface of the corpses. Although those clothes have been corroded for thousands of years, they are tattered and covered with dust. The identity of these corpses can still be seen through some fine patterns on the clothes.
The status is certainly not low.
Every corpse in the cave is wrapped with soul-nourishing tree roots.
In the center of the Hades Hall, there are several pits separated by carved dragon guardrails. When you get closer to the guardrails, you can see that those pits are full of human mummies.
These mummies were all slaves who built the mausoleum. They were thrown in like animals and stacked in disorder to form several mountains of corpses.
These are all burial pits!
One, two, three...
At a rough count, there are nine burial pits.
If there are hundreds of corpses in each burial pit, there are thousands of corpses in this palace of Hades alone. These are living people who were sacrificed and placed on soul-nourishing trees.
And sacrificing so many people to the soul-nurturing tree was just to achieve a slim hope that a person could be resurrected after a thousand years.
"This underground tomb passage is very large. We accidentally found this Hades Palace through a robbery hole. There are two Hades Palaces with exactly the same specifications in other directions."
"The Teng Kingdom existed thousands of years ago in an era when hundreds of vassal states were at war. In that era, wars were raging, and large areas of crop land were deserted. The vassal states were fighting against each other everywhere. The people were in dire straits, and human lives were as worthless as grass roots on the roadside. The lords
There are wars between countries every year, and many people die every year. All the soldiers are dead. In order to preserve their glory and wealth, the leaders of the princely countries begin to forcibly recruit civilians. Farmers go to the battlefield. These people go to the battlefield and it is basically the same as sending them to death.
, once captured, they would be tortured with ink, have slave marks tattooed on their faces, and live worse than animals. And after the country fell, their fate was also very tragic. Either the city was massacred, the people's families were destroyed, and the young men were killed.
They were branded as slaves, and their wives and daughters were reduced to military prostitutes. Most of them would die of torture before they could survive long."
"The more wars and chaos there are, the less valuable the lives of ordinary people are. Even if they don't die at the hands of the major vassal states, sooner or later they will starve to death on the roadside and starve to death (piǎo) all over the fields."
Hey, even Li Wewei, who was very nervous and had unreliable jumps along the way, such as the hyperactive Li Wewei, couldn't help but shake his head and sigh at this time, and it was rare for his temper to calm down.
There are so many innocent dead bodies in the Hades Palace. As soon as one steps into the Hades Palace, it seems as if hundreds of innocent souls are coming out of the burial pits and caves. They seem to be crying with their dark mouths open.
The hardships of life and the pain of family destruction and death.
The piles of corpses in the Cave of Thousand Corpses can also be explained by the fact that the corpses of people who fell into the water and drowned in various places over the past thousands of years were washed into the Cave of Thousand Corpses by the current, and that is why the piles of corpses today are there.
But the victims in these burial pits in front of us are all living people. Whose husband, father, and son were they pushed into the burial pit alive, just because the owner of the tomb needed the victims to be buried with him.
Looking at these inhumane burial pits and the particularly developed root system of soul-nurturing trees in the burial pits, the atmosphere in the team was a little dull.
The Hall of Hades is very big.
They followed the firelight to find the people in the Hades Hall, and unexpectedly saw three eminent monks from Bailong Temple painting Buddhist scriptures on the stone walls of the Hades Hall.
Those Buddhist scriptures are all written with golden body powder. The characters are dense and the shapes are thin and muscular. They have the majesty of the Buddha's salvation of all sentient beings, but also the ethereal years of the Buddha.
These Buddhist scriptures are shining with golden light and the Dharma is condensed.
They are all based on the lifelong Buddhist practice of three eminent monks.
The more scriptures are written, the golden light of the Buddha in the Hades Palace becomes stronger and stronger, and the breath of peace sweeps away the resentment, hatred, hostility, evil spirit, and yin energy in the Hades Palace and the burial pit...
I observe Ksitigarbha's majestic power, and it is impossible to say that the eons of sand in the Ganges River will be exhausted. A single thought of seeing, hearing, observing, and paying homage can benefit mankind and heaven in immeasurable ways.
If you are a man, a woman, or a dragon god, you will fall into the evil path after all your retribution. If you sincerely take refuge in the body of a great master, your life span will be extended and the obstacles of sin will be eliminated.
Those who have lost the love of their parents have no idea where their souls are. Brothers, sisters and relatives have not known each other since they were growing up.
The body of the great bodhisattva may be sculpted or painted, and the bodhisattva will look upon it with sorrow and reverence without leaving it for a moment. If his name is recited for three to seven days, the bodhisattva will appear in boundless form.
…
…
"Little brother, this is the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra" that Buddhism uses to save people's sins. It can eliminate countless sins and help people go to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss."
"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has made a great wish: 'Unless hell is empty, I vow not to become a Buddha until all sentient beings are saved, and only then can I realize Bodhi'."
The old Taoist priest explained something to Jin An.
Although he is a Taoist priest.
But this does not prevent him from contacting some monks and knowing some Buddhist classics.
"These three eminent monks are using the great incense and incense power accumulated by Bailong Temple over the years to selflessly save these suffering martyrs, so that they can escape from the sea of suffering and ascend to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss."
The old Taoist priest said in awe.
The three eminent monks of Bailong Temple, who had been immersed in writing Buddhist scriptures, heard the voice of the old Taoist priest. They turned around and saw Jin An and the others as if they were awakening from a dream.
"Taoist Jin'an, Taoist Chen, great, you are all fine." The three eminent monks of Bailong Temple were overjoyed.
When they saw so many cavalry guards following Jin An, the three eminent monks of Bailong Temple were very surprised. When they learned about Jin An and their experiences along the way, the three eminent monks of Bailong Temple sighed with emotion.
He continued, saying that the captain would be very happy to see that all the Cavalry Guard brothers were still alive and well.
Jin An turned around and looked around, but did not find Du Wei and Xi Jian, so he asked about their whereabouts. The abbot of Bailong Temple smiled and told Jin An not to be nervous. Du Wei and Xi Jian were both safe.
They met one after another in this underworld palace. Duwei and Xiejian were worried about Jin'an and his friends' safety, so they searched for Jin'an and his friends nearby. The three of them were left here to write "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra" with the golden body of a Buddhist monk.
》.
Now that they have found the lair of the soul-nurturing tree, they plan to quell this ten-thousand-year-old soul-nurturing tree to eliminate the permanent problem, so as not to leave a root of trouble that will continue to cause trouble for thousands of years.
Hearing that Jiajian was alone with the captain.
Jin An and the old Taoist priest looked at each other strangely.
Will the captain notice something about their honest sword-sharpening skills?
"Taoist Master Jin'an, you can find this place, but have you noticed the marks we left along the way?" The abbot of Bailong Temple clasped his hands together and looked happily at everyone who was safe and reunited.
Jin An shook his head: "The terrain in this tomb passage is complicated, and there is more than one tomb passage. We must have happened to miss it."
"Thanks to the help of Mr. Feng Shui and the guidance of these cavalry brothers, I am lucky enough to meet you again, abbot."
After hearing Jin An's answer, the abbot of Bailong Temple sighed again and sighed.
Perhaps it was because there were so many people here and there was so much noise that the captain and Xiejian, who were not far from the Hades Palace, heard the noise and rushed back.
"Master!"
"Third Junior Brother!"
The reunion of master and apprentice naturally involves the master's greetings to his apprentice. The old Taoist priest has long been numb to his status as "third junior brother". Now that he can reunite with Jiajian, he doesn't care if he suffers some disadvantages in terms of seniority.
The most important thing in the Taoist temple of the five internal organs is to be neat and orderly.
"Old Shitou, Zhouzi, Wang Guang..." The captain was also surprised to meet his subordinates again at this time.
The reunion of so many people made the Hades Palace, which had been cold and silent for thousands of years, become lively with people. Everyone spoke to each other and told their experiences along the way with the joy of reunion.
While there were many people chatting, Jin An secretly pulled Xi Jian and said: "Xi Jian, when you were alone with the captain, did the captain have any doubts about your identity? Or did he do anything to you?"
Sharpening his sword dully, he answered truthfully: "The captain asked me how I got to know my master, senior brother, and third junior brother."
Jin An's head tightened: "How did you answer the question of sharpening the sword?"
Sharpening the sword still had the dull and dumb expression: "Disciple answered truthfully, I forgot."
When Jin An heard this, he laughed happily.
He could imagine the captain's depressed expression at that time when he must have choked on his sword and was speechless.
"What happened next?"
Jin An gave Chi Jian a thumbs up and praised Chi Jian for his good answer.
"The captain also asked my disciple why he knew so much about tomb robbing."
"Xie Jian, how did you answer this time?"
"Disciple, I still answered truthfully and forgot."
The more Jin An listened, the happier he became.
"The captain also asked why my disciple always recognized his master as his master." This time, for the first time, his dull face showed a serious expression, and he took the initiative to speak.
Jin An was a little nervous and asked what was Xi Jian's answer?
He sharpened his sword and shook his head: "My disciple said he doesn't know. He only knows that by following the master, he can learn many principles of life, and he can also eat lamb chops and haggis noodles every day. Master, after we come out of the tomb this time, I can eat more
A bowl of haggis noodles?”
He sharpened his sword and looked at Jin An dully.
In the pure and flawless eyes without those intrigues and intrigues in the world of secular adults, it was the first time that I longed for something.
"Master, are you crying?"
"You must have made a mistake about sharpening the sword. Master, if that doesn't mean you are crying, that means there is sand in your eyes."
Sharpening a sword is dull.
Jin An: "Good disciple, when we get ashore this time, the first thing we will do is eat a bowl of hot haggis noodles to get rid of the cold and the moisture in this tomb."
"However, we can keep it secret from your senior brother. You must never tell your senior brother. We often eat mutton chop rice and haggis noodles behind our backs."
Chi Jian was carrying the body in the river, and he was seriously injured and unconscious. He floated down the river and was salvaged by him and the old Taoist priest. However, Chi Jian was later carried by the silly sheep all the way to the village. Chi Jian opened his eyes and woke up once during the process.
, so I always consider Shayang to be my senior brother, and have the best relationship with Shayang.
He was also afraid that he would tell his senior brother Shayang about everything he wanted to do with his sword.
Then they will no longer be able to eat lamb chop rice, lamb offal noodles, lamb liver, lamb lungs, lamb heart, lamb tongue, lamb kidneys, etc...
"Master, don't worry, my disciple is not a fool." Xiajian nodded solemnly.
Jin An was pleased to see his sensible and good disciple sharpening his sword: "Whoever says that you are stupid, my disciple, will be beaten into a fool by Master to vent your anger."
Jin An finished whispering to Xi Jian, and when he turned around to look for the old Taoist priest, he saw the old Taoist priest on the other wall of the underworld, using cinnabar, a pure Yang thing, and calmly copying Taoist scriptures from behind.
.
Those scriptures are painted with silver hooks and iron in the hands of the old Taoist, like a crouching dragon, carrying with them the vicissitudes of life and righteousness.
What the old Taoist priest copied was the Taoshang Cave Xuan Ling Bao Sheng Xuan Miao Sutra for Dispelling Disasters and Protecting Life, which is a Taoist book.
On the other side, the three eminent monks of Bailong Temple continued to solemnly copy the unfinished "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra" using the Buddhist eminent monk's seated golden body powder.
Seeing the three monks working together so persistently to save the souls in the burial pit, no one present, including Jin An, laughed at the senselessness of such a thing. On the contrary, they were all impressed by the supreme generosity of the four people in front of them.
.
Jin'an was infected by the behavior of the abbot of Bailong Temple, Monk Kongming, Monk Hongzhao, and the old Taoist priest. He took a deep breath and used the Qi of the five internal organs in the Immortal Temple of the Five Internal Organs as the main one, supplemented by the thunder method, the head of all methods.
He pointed through the iron back and began to write scriptures on saving people on the third stone wall of the Hades Hall.
Mr. Feng Shui was completely impressed by Jin An's broadmindedness this time and showed a relieved smile.
"Madam, she really saw the right person."
"Those who have gained the Tao will receive much help. Mr. Jin'an has already achieved the Tao."
"Master Jin'an, Taoist Chen, and several eminent monks, please let me help you, so that together we can never suffer from this harmful tomb in the future."
Mr. Feng Shui also stepped forward at this time. He once again carved a larger ghost house and the overall situation of Feng Shui on the fourth stone wall. He did not hesitate to consume his own energy and spirit to create a larger gate of hell, and sent the dead souls here to the road to hell and free themselves from the shackles.
Putting down the scourge of the Ten Thousand Years Soul-nurturing Tree, it completely cut off all hopes of the Lord of Teng Kingdom.
