Chapter 42 On the strange altar

"Wave…"

At the critical moment, Xiao Yi picked up a string of rosary beads from the desert and wrapped them around her hand. First, they glowed with light yellow light. Then all the broken Buddhist weapons that everyone found in the desert, the weapons burst out with blazing color at this moment.

The brilliance, which is strong or weak, gathers together to form a pillar of light, which competes with the time light wave generated by Tugui, resists the erosion of time, and protects everyone from being completely obliterated by time.

These dilapidated Buddhist weapons and weapons were shining with golden light at the moment, especially Huzi's demon-conquering pestle, which made a rumbling sound of thunder and shined brightly, protecting everyone standing around.

Seeing this, everyone understood that these instruments seemed to be like scrap metal corroded by hundreds of millions of years, but after all, they were artifacts used by ancient gods. Their divinity has not been completely extinguished yet. They only regretted not being able to pick a few more at that time.

pieces.

"Quick, whoever doesn't have a Buddhist vessel in his hand can come to me and take shelter for a while!" Huzi shouted loudly.

The strange thing is that the weapons and artifacts in each person's hands are all shining with divine light. Only Zhang Xu's body is not shrouded in any golden light. The space where he stands is turbulently flying, and Zhang Xu is standing there motionless as if in a daze.

"Brother Zhang Xu, come here quickly..." Xiao Yi's face changed drastically at this moment, and the tone of her screams changed, sweeping away her past image of a lady.

Although everyone was protected by the artifact, they were still unable to withstand Tugui's time-distorting power. Seeing that the halo emitted by the artifact gradually dimmed, within a few moments everyone could no longer hold on and fainted on the ground.

It's not that Zhang Xu can't pass, it's just that he can't. At this time, he and the old monk were in trance, turning a blind eye to everything around them. A bodhi seed transformed from half of the Buddha's face on the way to heaven floated in the air before him at some point.

The bodhi tree is crystal clear, and a tree and a Buddha can be faintly seen in it, just like the scene of Buddha enlightening himself. There are bursts of Zen music and Buddha singing from inside. At this time, the green rays of light emitted by the bodhi tree surge towards the bodhi tree.

Then, the Bodhi tree suddenly expanded, bursting out with colorful light. The light quickly spread and filled the air, like the moon falling in the sky, and a huge Bodhi tree surrounded the entire ancient Bodhi tree.

The Bodhi tree and the Bodhi tree have the same root and origin. Not only do they not exclude each other, but they attract and blend with each other. When the last part of the ancient Bodhi tree is integrated into the light of the Bodhi tree, the colorful brilliance is quickly recovered, and the ancient Bodhi tree also shrinks, just like the Bodhi tree.

It's like a seed from which a small tree bud, an inch tall, sprouts. The small tree's precious light is bright and dazzling.

Bodhizi and the little tree slowly flew towards Zhang Xu. A ray of white light flashed past, imprinted on his chest, entered Zhang Xu's body, and disappeared.

At this moment, with the disappearance of the ancient Bodhi tree, the space was reversed and the phenomenon of going back in time also ended. Everyone's bodies stopped changing and returned to normal.

"It scares me to death. I feel like I will disappear from the world after a while!"

Everyone was in shock, secretly glad that they were not wiped out by the passage of time!

Zhang Xu lowered his head and looked at his chest, only to see a bodhi tree pattern on his chest like a tattoo...a mysterious connection tightly linked him to the bodhi tree.

This small bodhi tree has its roots tightly tied to the bodhi seed and buried in Zhang Xu's Shenque cave. It is like a soybean sprouting and gaining new life after hundreds of millions of years.

The small bodhi tree floated in Zhang Xu's Dantian and was placed above the "Tao Jing" passed down by Laozi. Suddenly, a golden light rushed out from the "Tao Jing" and directly impacted the small bodhi tree to the lower left corner of the Shenque Point.

The acupuncture point gradually settled down.

As the treasure tree was implanted, the past and present lives of the ancient Bodhi tree emerged in Zhang Xu's mind.

The ancient bodhi tree is an innate spiritual root, born in Lingshan since the beginning of chaos. Pangu once took one branch and used it as an ax handle to split the sky and split the earth. During the Hongmeng period, the Western Taoist Zhunti also took a branch and refined it into the Seven Treasures Tree.

, used the seven-treasure tree in his hand to defeat Tongtian Cult Leader twice in the Battle of the Gods. Buddha once attained enlightenment under the Tathagata tree, and Kong Xuan was named King Ming under the tree.

The spiritual land of Mount Sumeru in the ancient Buddhist realm was destroyed. This tree was the guardian of the spiritual mountain. Its branches and leaves were injured and withered. The infinite spiritual power it contained was lost, and the rest was suppressed and sealed. Taoist Zhunti could not bear to have its spiritual roots cut off.

, tear off a branch of the Seven Treasures Tree, insert it into the tree and turn it into a branch to make it immortal, and place the sacred object Tugui under the root of the tree to reverse time and space, in order to restore the chaotic aura to this place and help the tree to be reborn.

By chance, the Bodhi seed merged with the ontology seed, and this huge crisis was resolved.

Everyone saw that everything around them had returned to normal, except for the ancient Bodhi tree. They all thought that it had been reduced to nothing by many artifacts, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"Zhang Xu, come here, help me over...leave here...go over there!" Although Wang Chenggu recovered, his body was still weak, but his functions were not reduced, and his mind became wiser. Years of experience in digging graves and treasures told him

, there was something strange under the ancient Bodhi tree. He pointed with trembling fingers to the direction where the ancient Bodhi tree disappeared, hoping to find the hope of getting out!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xu walked to Lin Chenggu's side in three steps and then carefully helped Lin Chenggu up.

Lin Chenggu had to stop and rest every time he walked. It was easy for people to see that he was an old man who had experienced many hardships. This made Zhang Xu wonder what kind of belief supported him to take such a big risk.

Explore Luotian Ancient Cave?

In just a few dozen meters, Lin Chenggu walked for ten minutes. He staggered to the place where the ancient Bodhi tree disappeared.

It was starting to get dark, and a large crater was left where the ancient Bodhi tree disappeared. It looked like a circular crater formed by the impact of a huge meteorite. It looked like a sinkhole. It was difficult to see clearly at the bottom of the crater in the dim light.

What, I could only see through reflection that the walls around the pit were actually made of five-color stones, and some fluorescent light spots were flashing at the bottom of the pit.

Lin Chenggu stood quietly by the pit and looked down.

Everyone followed and looked into the pit but didn't see anything. Their faces were filled with doubts,  "What is he looking at?".

Zhang Xu also felt very puzzled and asked one after another, "Mr. Lin, the huge rocks in the pit are as hard as iron and are divided into five colors. Could it be that the ancient Bodhi tree cannot grow in an environment without soil?"

Mr. Lin looked straight into the middle of the pit with clear eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

Hearing Zhang Xu's question, Wang Chenggu came back to his senses and replied: "No. These multicolored stones, if they shine with light, must contain huge energy. The ancient Bodhi tree can survive for hundreds of millions of years."

The world may be related to these energies."

After speaking, he sniffed the air with his nose and said: "Located in front of Taihe Mountain in Yanling Village, Tangtian Township, Yanling County, eastern Hunan Province, there is the tomb of Emperor Yan Shennong. I once participated in the robbery. Although it was not successful,

A five-color earth altar was found there, which exudes a special smell. This smell is different from the decaying atmosphere of the ancient tombs, but carries the sacred atmosphere of the temple. Now the five-color stones are emitting in the air, and the floating smell is similar to the five-color earth of the Yan Emperor Mausoleum.

The smell is the same, with a mysterious smell of ancient times. There may be an altar underneath!"

Zhang Xu nodded. According to archaeological records, altars are mostly made of five-color soil. In ancient times, in addition to being used to offer sacrifices to gods, pray for blessings and have dialogues between humans and gods, some priests or people with great supernatural powers also used them to control the heaven and earth.

Perceptions such as orientation, yin and yang, layout, etc. are integrated into it to break through the space barriers and reach from one world to another. This is the teleportation array in myths and legends.

Lin Chenggu had smelled the unique smell of the altar dozens of meters away. Should he hope to find a way out through this?

After careful observation, Zhang Xu suddenly discovered something. He pointed to the middle of the pit with his finger and said to Lin Chenggu: "The surrounding areas are uneven, but the middle is square. Could it really be an ancient altar?"

"The only solution now is to go down and find out!" he said.

The pit is very large, deep in the middle and shallow on the four sides. There are four intersecting slopes with traces of manual excavation, forming a swastika shape that goes straight to the bottom of the pit.

When everyone heard that it was possible to find a teleportation array at the altar that could reach the outside world, they were all very excited and rushed to go down.

Seeing this, Zhang Xu hurriedly stopped everyone and said, "Don't panic. The more ancient ruins look like this, the more dangerous it is. There may be many mechanisms below. Everyone, follow me and go down the stairs!"

Lin Chenggu saw that Zhang Xu was thoughtful and nodded secretly. He just reminded everyone to be careful where they step, and he was speechless.
