10 Secret Attack on the Sutra Pavilion I followed behind, only five steps away, and used my Qinggong to the limit to avoid being pulled down by her.
Tengjia has changed a lot. I can constantly see her hair being blown off by the wind, and some strands even hit my face. Only people with exhausted minds may show signs of rapid hair loss.
In the moonlight, Fengqiao Temple was immersed in deathly silence, without any light.
With the death of several eminent monks in the temple, the morale of the monks plummeted, and this famous Buddhist temple in Hokkaido immediately fell into a trough of despair.
When I arrived at the door of the courtyard of the Sutra Pavilion, I didn't even see a monk keeping vigil at night. Everything was quiet. It seemed that the elephant monk had forgotten my instructions a long time ago and led the monks to sleep peacefully.
The door opened, and Tengjia floated in silently.
The green brick floor reflects the dim light of the cold moon. On the left side are four round stone tables with a diameter of more than two meters. Next to the tables are drum-shaped stone piers, which are extremely heavy.
The last time I came to Fenggeji Temple, I visited this place, but it was on a sunny autumn afternoon, and I did not feel the gloomy atmosphere of the ancient house.
Tengjia stopped in front of the stone pier and sighed hoarsely: "After I was reborn, I rearranged this place according to Master's old preferences and the Sutra Pavilion of Tankong Temple outside Chang'an City. The two places are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. It's a pity that
Master's soul has not been reincarnated, and I have not waited for him."
I also have an impression of the ancient temple in Chang'an County, Shanxi Province, mainland China. Unfortunately, the buildings have fallen into decay and only part of the ancient foundations are still standing. The former prosperity has become a Tang Dynasty ruins in name only.
"Back then, Master and his ten disciples were in this place, building rocks as stoves, drinking springs to cook, and studying the contents of the "Blue Falling Yellow Spring Sutra" day and night. I am familiar with every blade of grass and every grain of sand here.
And keep in mind the voice, appearance, and smile of each of the ten disciples. If they have been reborn, I will recognize them at a glance and there will be no mistake."
Twenty steps away, the ancient Buddhist Scripture Pavilion was dark, and occasionally the north wind blew the broken window paper, making strange rustling sounds.
Every Buddhist temple in Japan will have its own sutra library, large or small, with at least hundreds of volumes of classics for disciples to browse.
Tengjia raised his head and faced the third floor of the old building. He suddenly waved his sleeves and shot out a sharp red light, which penetrated directly into a broken window. The building suddenly lit up with a jumping fire, which was a torch near the window.
It was ignited, and her ability to light the fire from the air showed her extremely strong internal strength.
The night was so dark and quiet, and the suddenly lit torch became the most eye-catching target within a few hundred meters nearby.
"Let's go up -" She tapped the table, jumped up suddenly, and floated towards the window as if being held up by invisible clouds. The martial arts and lightness skills she showed tonight were completely beyond my imagination, and she spoke
His tone was even more weird.
The window was open, and the spacious hall was empty. There were no bookshelves. She took off the torch, walked to the east window, and pushed open the window with a whoosh.
The strange white house of the Meditation Hall stands out in front of you, and the withered vines hanging up and down the outer wall look like the unruly hair of a thousand-year-old monster.
"I'm honored that I've waited for you, waited for the 'Poseidon Nameplate', and fulfilled Master's last wish." She sighed quietly, casually pulling off the red ribbon from her hair, and taking away a lock of long gray hair.
At this moment, she seems to be very different from the proud Japanese princess in the desert. I always feel that she is like a candle that is about to burn out, turning into candle tears, and her life will die along with it.
"What does it say above?" I asked in a low voice.
The night is very long. As long as she is willing to talk, I believe I will have enough time to listen and think.
"Give me your hand -" She stretched out her right hand and placed it flat on the half-rotten window frame. She was as skinny as wood, and her skin color was very close to those with gray hair. This was not the hand of Tengjia I once knew. She was in her early twenties.
How could a girl have such aging hands like a sixty-year-old woman?
I calmly put my left hand in her hand.
The two people were only one step apart at this time, and I smelled the aging smell on the other person's body, and couldn't help feeling frightened.
There have been many examples of premature aging in the world. The most famous one is probably the leader of the Sichuan Qingcheng Sect in the early Republic of China, Taoist Ti Ya. In order to study the hidden weapon skills passed down by previous generations of leaders, he went into seclusion for thousands of days.
, finally broke through the confinement of his thoughts and understood the true meaning of the martial arts secrets. Unfortunately, all his mental and physical strength was exhausted, and he collapsed and died within three days of leaving the seclusion.
I have seen someone draw a portrait of Taoist Ti Ya after he came out of seclusion. He is as thin as a skeleton that can barely walk. His hair has completely fallen off, and all the muscles covering the Tianling Cap have withered and shrunk, leaving only a thin layer of skin.
If I knew that meditating on the "Poseidon Nameplate" would cause Tengjia to age to this point, I would rather not have taken that plate out of the glass box.
"That's a painting, have you seen it?" Her hoarse voice sounded again.
I felt a burst of boiling heat gushing out from her cold palm, instantly invading my skin and connecting with my blood.
Suddenly there was a pure blankness in my mind for more than ten seconds, and then the vast starry sky appeared. At first glance, I saw nine fiery red stars, rushing towards a star at an extremely frightening speed.
A huge fuzzy nebula.
If that's not a meteor, what could it be?
The red star penetrated into the nebula with such force that it even scattered the dust surrounding the universe.
In the direction they are heading, nine bright stars surround a large star that emits blazing red light. It is trembling slightly as the nebula air mass breaks up. More tiny stars sparkle and dot it, like
They are mini lanterns on the Christmas tree.
Anyone with basic knowledge of astronomy will understand that this combination is the standard portrayal of the solar system. Nine planets surround the sun, and the earth beneath our feet is among them.
I stopped asking questions, believing that what Tengjia wanted to say could be explained without asking her.
After the nine red stars entered the planet's ring, they seemed to have encountered some kind of blockage. They slowed down instantly and joined the nine planets' circle. Together with the nine planets, they formed a spectacle of eighteen planets surrounding the sun. It's just that
, they are completely crowded next to the earth, making the moon's already small size even more insignificant.
In an instant, I remembered an ancient myth that best described the wonder in front of me - Hou Yi shooting the sun.
In Chinese mythology, the sun is the son of the Jade Emperor. There are ten of them. They are very naughty. They do not abide by the rule that only one sun can appear every day. They always appear together and dry up the water on the ground, making people miserable.
Hou Yi, as the most valiant archer on earth, shot down nine of the suns, leaving only one, making the world smooth and prosperous.
When nine red stars surround the earth, plus the sun that exists in the solar system itself, wouldn't it mean that there are ten suns, a reappearance of ancient myths?
"Yi shot for nine days, and the nine suns fell to the ground. The huge impact caused them all to go below the surface of the earth, and became things buried forever in another world. The "Biluo Huangquan Sutra" marked the location of their fall. Unfortunately, every
The vertical depth of a red star relative to the earth's surface is constantly changing, which is enough to show that they have some kind of power of their own."
"It is impossible to imagine the mystery and obscurity of the words in the scriptures. With Master's great wisdom, we only found the only place where the red star fell on Fuso Island, right at our feet. The 'Poseidon Nameplate' is to enter the 'Sea God Tomb'
' map, in fact, I have always been confused, why is that place called a 'tomb' in the scriptures? Could it be that there are corpses buried in it, just like the tombs of us people on earth? "
"Did you see it? A strange three-dimensional array -"
The image in my mind suddenly changed, and a maze building like a Rubik's Cube appeared. Each side of the hexahedron was densely covered with flat entrances. The building itself was burnt black, as if it had been silent for many years after the eruption.
volcanic rock.
"My soul stays here just to crack it. Look at the direction of the red line. The formation is composed of countless flat houses with openings on all sides. There is only one correct passage. All other paths will lead people to the magma cave. Chlorine gas
Layers, undersea whirlpools, and nests of dangerous creatures are all dead ends.”
"No one knows who built this huge weird building with 361 roads running across it. Master has said that the wisdom of any earthling is limited, and the upper limit has been defined since birth.
, unable to break through. His only wish in his life is to find the 'Wrath of the Sun God' and destroy it, so as not to cause harm to the world——"
The wind was very cold, and the invisible cold air had completely enveloped the two of us. I felt that no part of my body could escape the cold air.
At this moment, I thought of the Pyramid of Earth-Cracked Khan that had sunk forever into the ground.
When we entered the tower for the first time, what we encountered was also a weird layout of 361 rooms connected on all sides. But it was flat, and what Tengjia showed me was a
A doubly complex cube.
Tengjia suddenly yelled "Yeah" and stared at me in surprise: "At this time, can you still control your thoughts and calmly withdraw from your own illusory world?" She raised her palm and looked carefully.
As he examined it, his face was filled with endless sadness.
"What? Is something wrong?" I took two steps back and stamped my feet vigorously, and the old wooden floor made a hollow sound.
"I thought that I could temporarily control you with illusions until all the content of my understanding was conveyed to your heart, but I found that there was some kind of strange defense layer deep in your mind that could actually resist the intrusion of my thoughts -"
Tengjia's gray hair floated up again, which suddenly made me feel inexplicable sadness. Thinking about it carefully, her physical changes did not break away from the laws of old age, sickness and death on earth. It just changed the journey that should have taken forty years to complete.
