When he pushed open the temple door, Feng Bujue expected that there would be the sound of creaking wood and dust blowing in his face.
As a result, the door opened extremely smoothly. When the wooden shafts of the two door panels rotated, there was almost no sound, as if it was still new. And the scenery inside the door was not covered with cobwebs or dusty as frost.
Inside the door is a Buddhist hall. There are no other doors or rooms. The light from outside the house penetrates directly through the window gap. Players can see the scenery inside clearly without using a flashlight.
There are two beams and four columns in the house, the floor is paved with limestone bricks, and the walls are also made of bricks and wood.
On both sides of the Buddhist hall, there are two rows of red-lacquered copper shelves standing against the wall. There are four levels above and below the shelves. Each level is filled with white candles, but none of these candles are lit at the moment.
At the end of the Buddhist hall opposite the main door, the only Buddha statue enshrined is actually a headless Buddha.
The body of the Buddha statue is upright, the five fingers of the right hand are joined together, and the palm of one hand is raised. The left hand, like its head, is missing.
"Hmm... It's not easy to tell which immortal it is just from this posture." Feng Bujue walked forward and muttered something: "This statue made of dry lacquer with a piece of paper... is it from the Yuan Dynasty...
"
Suddenly, Xiyu's hand pressed on Feng Bujue's shoulder and pulled him back. At this moment, a plume of black smoke appeared on the ground not far in front of Feng Bujue.
Just now, Feng Bujue's attention was focused on the Buddha statue, and he didn't pay attention to his steps. If the rain hadn't pulled him, he might have stepped on it.
But I saw black smoke rising, gathering and not dissipating, and then a figure emerged from it.
The person who appeared in the smoke was an old monk wrapped in cassock, with purple skin and white beard, and dark pupils. The image was very scary, but his face was upright and majestic, not like a villain.
"Who are you? Why did you come to our Zangling Temple?" asked the demon monk.
"We are just passers-by." Feng Bujue said, "I heard that there are evil spirits causing trouble here, so I came to find out."
"A passer-by? Huh..." The demon monk said again: "I see that both of you have spiritual awareness. I'm afraid they are not mortals, right?"
"I see that your face is purple and you have a demonic aura. I'm afraid you're not even a human being, right?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Haha...hahahaha..." The demon monk laughed: "Okay, what a good guy, he's not even a human being..."
The windows in the temple were suddenly shrouded in a burst of black mist, completely blocking the light outside the house. However, the blindness did not last long. The next second, all the candles around were lit, emitting a green light.
.
Between the darkness and the light, the image of the demon monk has changed drastically. It has completely transformed into a posture like a Shura evil ghost. His height has reached ten feet, his knotted muscles hold up his clothes, and his beard has turned red.
.His face was full of monsters and ferociousness, and he looked at Feng Bujue with wide eyes.
Seeing this, Xiyu wanted to raise his sword to meet her, but Feng Bujue blocked her in front of her, tilting his head and winking. It seemed to be saying... There is no need to take action yet.
"Like that tree, you were transformed into a ghost by a little girl named 'Ling'er' and became what you are now, right?" Feng Bujue asked.
"So what?" The demon monk's voice also changed. His voice couldn't be described as rough. It could only be described as "rough".
"I just want to ask, did you stay in this state voluntarily?" Feng Bujue said: "Or were you involuntarily controlled by her and attacked those of us who went up the mountain?"
"If I were controlled by it, would you still be able to stand and talk to me at this moment?" asked the demon monk.
"Then you voluntarily become a monster and harm the common people?" Feng Bujue said.
"The reason why I became what I am now is indeed caused by the child's resentment. Unless her resentment is resolved, otherwise I... and all the ghosts on this mountain will be trapped in this mountain and will never be reborn."
The monster monk replied: "But... we do it voluntarily by killing you people in Zangling Town."
"Is it because the people from Zangling Town unjustly killed Ling'er?" Feng Bujue asked tentatively.
"Hmph..." The demon monk snorted coldly: "I guess you are also the mage they invited to get rid of ghosts, right?"
"Of course not. If so, do you think you can still stand and talk to me at this moment?" Feng Bujue replied very arrogantly.
"Huh?" The demon monk was stunned when he heard this. He moved his face forward and said, "You kid, you have a very loud tone."
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Answer my question quickly." Feng Bujue said, "Maybe I can help you."
"Just you? Hahaha..." The demon monk laughed again: "Do you know why this place is called 'Zangling'?"
"Why?" Feng Bujue didn't know, so he just followed the other person's words and asked.
The demonic monk turned around and pointed at the headless Buddha behind him with his arms as thick as thighs: "This is the dojo of an Arhat. There is a secret treasure of the Buddhist sect hidden in the temple - the Vajra Bell."
He put down his arms and glared at Feng Bujue: "And I am the only monk in this temple." At this point, he seemed to remember what happened back then, and a trace of fear appeared on his fierce face: "But
What now? Look at me, what have I become?"
"Oh? Is that Diamond Bell very powerful?" Feng Bujue crossed his hands on his chest, put on a disapproving expression, and raised his head and asked.
"You are a fool who knows nothing about life and death. Of course you don't know how powerful the Vajra Bell is!" The demon monk was indeed fooled and began to talk non-stop: "The Vajra Bell is a secret treasure that can activate countless spells... illusions, shikigami
Techniques, summoning techniques, puppet techniques, praying for blessings, praying for rain, curing diseases, settling down, and alleviating disasters... drive ghosts and gods, all-encompassing. It can even guide people's misfortunes to the realm of liberation, subdue evil spirits, get rid of desires, and change the five elements, yin and yang
, the destiny of the eight characters can change the fate against the will of heaven."
"Where is that thing now?" Feng Bujue didn't show anything on his face, but he was already thinking firmly in his heart: "I will decide on the Vajra Bell."
"What? You want to seize the bell?" asked the demon monk.
The moment this question was asked, Feng Bujue was already 70-80% certain that this was mission f1ag!
He immediately turned his head and glanced at Xiyu. The latter understood it and did not reply. He just nodded slightly to express his agreement.
"Yes!" Feng Bujue replied immediately.
Main mission progress update
Enter the Bell Realm and look for Ling'er's soul.
Sure enough, the system prompt sounded immediately, and the main tasks in the game menu also changed.
"You said you wanted to help us, so I'll see if you have this ability." The demon monk smiled. As he spoke, he stepped down on the spot, with the force of thunder striking the mountain. The stone bricks on the ground instantly cracked, and appeared
There was a crack about two meters long, and it seemed that a mournful wailing could be heard from the mouth, but looking down, it was just pitch black.
"If you want a diamond bell, ask the child for it yourself." The demon monk said, stretching out his palm. On his palm, there was a bell that was exactly the same as the one given by the tree demon before. "Take the bell and dance.
Just go down there."
Feng Bujue did not let Xiyu go forward to get it, but reached out and took the item himself, and then handed it to Xiyu's hand. Then, he politely said to the tall monster in front of him: "Thank you very much.
Master’s advice.”
"Don't talk nonsense. There are many people who have gone down there, but no one has come back alive. The only ones who came back...are bells." The demon monk replied.
Feng Bujue felt that the plot was almost over. He turned back to Xiyu and said: "Well... let's make a slogan and jump down together."
"First of all, I reject the slogan 'You dance, I dance'." She answered directly.
"Tch..." Feng Bujue looked as if his treacherous plot had been discovered: "Then let me count one, two, and three." (To be continued)
