Chapter 770 Sanqing only needs a clay body, but Buddha wants a golden body [One day left for the monthly ticket draw]
Below the rockery, in a sealed ice cave.
In the current atmosphere, there is a phrase that is just right for the occasion:
Like falling into an ice cave.
Everyone's hearts, which had just been relaxed after being hung up, were feeling cold, and even the blankets on their bodies could not suppress the cold hairs that stood up silently.
At this time, the sound of the piano came from nowhere, far away, and came from nowhere, winding around the ears like a reminder of death. It was also matched by the conspicuous red light beam that suddenly appeared on the body of the young Taoist priest with a paralyzed face.
Lu Ya suddenly became the focus of attention in the ice cave.
The sound of the piano almost appeared at the same time as the fiery red light pillar on his body.
The general relationship between them can be guessed by everyone with their toes.
Wei Mei was surprised, pointed at Lu Ya and asked: "You, the light beam above your head is caused by the sound of the piano?"
Li Xian looked around eagerly: "Who played it? Cover it quickly!"
Lu Ya's expression changed, he raised his hand seriously, and quickly sealed the auditory acupuncture points to block out the sound of the piano in his ears.
The bright red beam of light was still on his head.
Li Guo'er made a quick decision, grabbed the unused blanket from Li Xian's hand, and threw it to Lu Ya.
The latter took it and tried to cover his head.
Immediately, he discovered that the bright red light pillar's shadow was like the ethereal sound of the piano, passing straight through the blanket and rushing towards the ceiling.
It is conceivable that it should be able to pass through soil and rocks and be exposed outside the ice cave.
Faintly aware of this result, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
Lu Ya looked up at the ceiling, frowning tightly, staring at the phantom of a light beam that was similar in color to his Dantian aura.
"Oops! Ouyang Lianghan's prediction was right again."
Li Guo'er's voice was deep, and her pretty face was as cold as an iceberg:
"This light beam may be linked to spiritual energy cultivation, which will expose our position."
Lu Ya, Li Xian and others immediately remembered the instructions that Ouyang Rong had seriously left before:
Xie Lingjiang, Lu Ya and other Qi refiners should run into Kuanglu Mountain to lure away the pursuers, instead of staying in the ice cave together.
Wei Mei said angrily and anxiously:
"Director Lu, why didn't you listen to Tan Lang's words? It's better now, let's look at the good things you did! Fortunately, Tan Lang risked his life to buy us time, so it's better now..."
"Poverty, poverty..."
Lu Ya's face was full of guilt and ashamed.
Li Guo'er took a deep breath and did not immediately complain or accuse her. She quickly pointed her index finger at Lu Ya and calmly analyzed:
"There is no way to stop the source of the sound, so there is only one way to destroy the spiritual energy Dantian!"
The whole place fell silent.
Under the complicated looks from everyone, Lu Ya's whole body trembled slightly.
I saw that the Taoist priest with a paralyzed face was biting his cheek, and his face was already flushed.
At a certain moment, he suddenly faced Li Guo'er, Li Xian, Wei Mei and others, and bowed once with great solemnity.
After saluting, without waiting for anyone to react, he raised his palm and landed it on the Dantian of his lower abdomen.
Li Xian shouted anxiously: "Master Lu, please don't..."
Just then.
"Boom——!"
Suddenly there was a dull crashing sound outside the ice cellar, followed by the same two sounds:
"Dong-dong-!"
It was the sound of the big stone that sealed the entrance to the ice cellar being struck.
Someone is breaking down the door.
Li Guo'er suddenly turned around: "Stop! People are coming."
…
"Crackling——"
On the ruins of Prince Xunyang's palace, after the fire, the remaining leaves buried among the black and gray embers but not completely burned out made a dull explosion from time to time.
On the ruins, a group of water thieves who were about to evacuate stopped in place and kept looking sideways.
The atmosphere on the field was somewhat silent, and the loud "crackling" sound became more prominent.
Their eyes fell on the inconspicuous rockery in front of them.
"laugh."
The one-eyed man suddenly smiled, looked around at his companions, and exchanged glances.
A group of water thieves wearing white cloth strips also started laughing ferociously.
Although I don’t understand why there are people who would dare to hide in a dark room without fear of choking to death due to such a huge fire...but this is the fact, right before our eyes.
Some answers are already self-evident.
In front of everyone, the one-eyed man raised a finger and put it to his mouth.
The water thieves immediately kept quiet, followed the one-eyed man, and walked towards the rockery with red light beams, surrounding it.
Not long after, an inconspicuous cellar secret door was cleared.
The one-eyed man squatted on the ground and tapped his fingers.
A huge stone sealed the cellar entrance.
The one-eyed man raised the corner of his mouth slightly, raised his palm, and signaled to his subordinates behind him.
Soon, a hundred water thieves dispersed in a tacit understanding, divided into several small teams, and went to the outer house to look for wooden stakes and sharp weapons to break the door.
The one-eyed man and the other three mid-level water thieves stayed where they were, coldly looking down at the secret door of the ice cellar.
While waiting for his subordinates to break down the door, the one-eyed man had nothing to do and looked around.
He listened to the sound of the piano, which had been notified in advance, and looked around at the scene in the distance.
Soon, several anomalies were discovered:
First, there is indeed a big red light pillar deep in Kuanglu Mountain, which is "slowly" moving northward, followed closely by five big red light pillars, which are also "slowly" moving northward, seemingly following it.
The one-eyed man thought for a moment and guessed the reason.
It was the Xie girl who was being chased by five middle-level water thieves he sent there.
I don’t know whether King Xunyang’s family is following Xie Lingjiang or hiding in the strange secret room at his feet.
No matter what, don't think about running away today.
Secondly, there are some other light pillars in the city, but they are all concentrated in Xingzifang and Xunyangfang in the distance. I wonder if they are the Tiannan Jianghu rebels who have sneaked into the city... The one-eyed man quickly looked away and did not go there much.
Deal with it.
Today, their group of "Hukou County Water Thieves" are only responsible for the massacre at Xunyang Prince's Mansion. As for the fierce battle around the Giant Buddha at the two peaks, they are not under his control.
At this time, the one-eyed man's sight was attracted by a very conspicuous phenomenon in the western sky.
It seems that in the direction of the twin peaks, there is an eye-catching blue light pillar in the sky above the Xunyang Grottoes.
Different from the normal low-grade blue light beam and the mid-grade red light beam, this blue light beam shoots straight into the sky, like a sharp sword.
I don’t know what is happening over there at Xunyang Grottoes.
The one-eyed man watched for a while. Soon, the first group of water thieves who went out returned and brought back the materials needed to break the door. The one-eyed man put his hands behind his back and got out of the way. A group of water thieves began to build facilities and hit the secret below.
The stone door of the cave.
"Boom" sounds come and go.
However, the manpower is still somewhat insufficient, and the efficiency is quite slow. It needs several subsequent batches of manpower to return to reinforce and break the goal together, so that the speed can be faster.
The one-eyed man closed his eyes to rest, supervising his men to knock on the door, and waited for a while.
However, a quarter of an hour passed and no follow-up personnel returned.
The one-eyed man was a little displeased, and waved his hand to summon the two water thieves. After giving a few instructions, the two water thieves took the order and left, taking a message with them and going out to look for the person.
A quarter of an hour passed.
Still no one came back.
The two water thieves who went there with the message didn't come back either.
The one-eyed man frowned and tilted his head to signal a middle-level water thief next to him.
The latter immediately turned around and went to look for the person with a cold face.
After half a stick of incense.
No one came back.
The one-eyed man's expression changed slightly.
As if he sensed something was wrong, he suddenly ordered:
"Stop banging on the door, everyone gather..."
Halfway through, he seemed to notice something, so he paused and looked back.
The other two mid-level water thieves, as well as the subordinate of the water thieves who knocked on the door, also followed his actions and turned their heads.
I saw a young man with a beard walking slowly towards the outer house.
His face was pale, he was holding a bunch of white cloth strips in his hand, and in his other hand, he was twisting something, which seemed to be a small ball sealed with clay.
The bearded young man crushed the mud seal, stuffed the red pill into his mouth, puffed up his cheeks, and started chewing.
The one-eyed man remained motionless, staring straight at the pill in the hand of the bearded young man who was walking slowly.
This qi-replenishing elixir was provided by the Wei Palace. It is rare and hard to find. Although it is not as good as the quality of the legendary ink dragon, it is still a good middle-grade pill. The middle-grade water thieves who came today each had one, but at this moment they were taken by this
The bearded young man chewed them like jelly beans.
A water thief sent by Wei Wu suddenly said: "He is Li Fusu! The Crown Prince of Xunyang."
When the one-eyed man heard this, he didn't shift his gaze at all, his tense body didn't relax at all, and his eyes were fixed on the top of "Li Dalang"'s head.
At this moment, in the sound of the Buddha's piano, the light pillars that appeared were either red or blue. The more powerful ones were also the purple light pillars belonging to Aunt Song from the Xunyang Palace. There were also more special ones, like the bright blue light pillar in front.
However, at the moment, the one-eyed man saw that the beam of light that appeared on the head of this bearded young man was gray.
It's as dim and inconspicuous as the ashes after burning out, and you can't even see it clearly from a distance.
Only when you get closer can you vaguely see the quiet and strange color, which is like ashes.
Especially after taking the light red elixir, a red thread appeared faintly in the gray air above his head.
In full view of everyone, "Li Dalang" approached and looked up at the one-eyed man and his group who looked like they were facing an enemy.
"The Infinite God Who Saves People."
After waking up, he circled the city to the limit to find a few rare objects, and the old Taoist who protected the prince's body sang a trumpet and said politely:
"Please lend me a few more elixirs."
…
Inside the ice cave.
When Li Guo'er shouted loudly, Li Xian quickly stepped forward and stopped Lu Ya, who was lost in thought.
"Dong-dong-dong-"
Outside the ice cave, the sounds of heavy objects hitting the stone door could be heard one after another.
It hit everyone's hearts like a drumbeat.
The huge stone gate is crumbling.
Separated by a wall, you can already vaguely hear the grinning and talking sounds of the water thieves outside.
Lu Ya suddenly picked up the half of the mahogany sword, walked forward, and stood beside the door that made a crashing sound.
His back was blocking the front of everyone, and he said without looking back:
"I'm sorry to Mr. Ouyang, I'm sorry to His Highness and the Prince. I'll try my best to slow them down with the thunder talisman later. You all try to run away as far away as possible..."
When Li Xian and others heard this, their faces looked a little sad and desperate.
But at this moment, the crashing sound outside suddenly disappeared, replaced by boundless silence.
The ferocious laughter, crashing sounds, and voices of the water thieves all disappeared, as if they had evaporated from the world.
Li Guo'er was the first to notice this, tilting his head and staring at the stone door.
Li Xian and others also noticed it one after another and looked ahead in confusion.
After about three breaths, a voice came from outside the door:
"Come out."
It's Li Dalang's voice.
But the tone was a little strange.
Lu Ya, who had lowered his head, suddenly raised his head and stared at the stone door in front of him.
Everyone looked at each other in shock.
Li Xian called out: "Da Lang?"
Wei Mei immediately stepped forward to open the crumbling stone door.
Li Guo'er didn't stop him, looked at Lu Ya's face, followed him, helped Wei Mei, and opened the stone door switch.
Amidst the sound of "rumbling", the stone door gradually rose.
The skylight from outside shone in, illuminating the only figure standing at the door.
Li Guo'er saw that "brother" was standing among a pile of corpses.
There were corpses of water thieves all around, but they all died very strangely. The white cloth strips were all covering their eyes, hiding their wide eyes. It was unclear what they had experienced before they died.
Especially the one-eyed man who was closest, his only eye was so wide that it almost bulged out, and his face was full of fear and regret.
Li Bao'er also saw that "brother" had a few clay-sealed pellets in his hand. While waiting for everyone to open the door, he stuffed them into his mouth one by one, chewed them quietly, and looked at them calmly as they walked out of the door.
Li Bao'er also noticed that there was a faint gray air on the top of "brother's" head, and there were a few red threads in it, like a few sticks of incense, gradually shortening, like some kind of countdown.
But before she could take a closer look, the sound of the piano suddenly disappeared, and the light beams above "Li Dalang" and Lu Ya disappeared.
Wei Mei looked at "Li Dalang" who seemed a little different with a worried expression, but was stopped by Li Xian, who cautiously shouted:
"Dalang?"
Li Guoer asked: "You are not brother, you are... Mr. Yuan."
The old Taoist nodded slightly.
Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and even Li Guo'er's face relaxed a lot, as if he knew very well that this old Taoist who had a very high seniority in the Qing Dynasty was powerful.
"Great, Heavenly Master Yuan is here! How did you know that we were in danger? Did Dalang meet a thief and happened to invite you?" After being out of danger, Wei Mei, as a mother, couldn't wait to ask with concern.
: "Old Heavenly Master, where did this brat Dalang go? He almost caused trouble."
The old Taoist didn't say much.
You can't just say that he woke up under the girl's skirt, right?
When Celestial Master Yuan Lao arrived after many years, everyone who had left home was happy and fortunate.
The old Taoist turned his head and looked in the direction of the Xunyang Grottoes where the sound of the piano had just come from. He pinched his fingers as if calculating. After a while, he sighed and shook his head. Everyone heard him murmur: "Three Pure Ones are the only ones."
He needs a body made of clay, but Buddha wants a body made of gold, eh..."
Li Guo'er also followed his gaze and asked with some keenness: "What does Heavenly Master mean? The sound of the piano comes from the big Buddha in Xunyang Grottoes? Is there something different about this Buddha?"
Li Xian suddenly worried and said, "If Tan Lang is still over there, won't he also be exposed by the sound of the piano?"
The old Taoist didn't answer, but suddenly turned his head and spoke to Lu Ya, who was standing silently behind the crowd:
"Foolish disciple, you knowingly stayed here and almost did something bad, just to meet my master?"
The young man with a paralyzed face lowered his head deeply, his neck turned red, and he was speechless with shame.
