Chapter 2107: The Eight Patriarchs of the Ancestral Temple
Chapter 2107 The Eighth Patriarch of the Ancestral Temple
Pushing open the wooden door of the ancestral temple, it was like pushing away a long-lasting memory of ancient times. There was a breath from the ancient times. Although it was not extremely powerful, it still made people solemn. Luo Tian and Xiao Ling looked at each other and left.
Got in.
The bright sun here is a bit dazzling white, like a beam of light shining in from the outside. The dust in the light beam rises and falls gently.
The ancestral temple is very large, and the inside is also very spacious. Compared with the light beam at the door, the inside is relatively dark, but it cannot block the eyes of Luo Tian and Xiao Ling. With their eyes scanning, the entire scene inside the ancestral temple suddenly came into their eyes.
.
"This is--"
The first thing Luo Tian saw was several statues forming a circle in the main hall. There were eight people in total. The one facing Luo Tian was a middle-aged man with a long sword behind him. He was quite elegant and gave people a sense of elegance.
A kind of Yang force.
There was also sitting beside him, with an open coat and exposed breasts, a big belly, a smiling face, and a fan in his hand. Next, next to him, there was a woman with a lotus in her hair. Although it was
The statue, however, is lifelike in shape. It is graceful in the middle of the water, giving it a clear and holy beauty. Next, there are people riding donkeys, still riding backwards, and there are people holding allegro——
Seeing these people, Luo Tian knew in his heart that these were the legendary Eight Immortals. Although their appearance was very different from those in later legends, the weapons they used were the same, which was their iconic status symbol.
They all grew up step by step from ordinary people.
In addition, the positions of these eight people are arranged according to the positions of the Qiankun Bagua. For example, Lu Dongbin is known as Chunyangzi and belongs to the Qian position in the Bagua. It is said that his predecessor was Emperor Donghua, and his position in the east is the sun.
God, Lu Dongbin's yellow and white tattered shirt represents the color of sunlight. His hundred-year-old childish face and brisk steps symbolize constant and healthy movement. The purpose of cultivating the Dao Dao Tian Escape is to show that day and night are divided by the sun, and the radiation of light is as sharp as a sword.
In the alchemy of Lu Dongbinxiu, the dragon in the Dragon and Tiger Golden elixir secret text represents the east, the tiger represents the west, the golden elixir represents the sun, and the nine-turn elixir means the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. His theory is to use compassion to save the world as the path to enlightenment, and the sun
It gives warmth to the earth, nourishes all things, and is similar to the endless reproduction of life. The sun occupies the position of leader in the Bagua. Lu Dongbin is certainly worthy of being the first of the Eight Immortals.
Kun represents the earth, which belongs to Yin and represents women. He Xiangu, the only female among the Eight Immortals, is holding a lotus. Her quiet and beautiful expression symbolizes purity and flawlessness, which is unstained from the mud. She is the essence of the earth. She worked hard to collect fruits and dedicated them to her relatives and poor people.
Divination for medical treatment is indeed a reflection of Mother Earth’s nurturing and loving life of all things. Yang rises and Yin falls——
"Two seniors, these eight people are our eighth ancestors. They are benevolent and righteous, help all living beings, have vast magical powers, and boundless spiritual power. We who live here are all their descendants. I don't know how many years have passed, but
They never came back, well—the catastrophe was said to be horrific,"
Seeing Luo Tian and Xiao Ling looking at the statue of the Eight Immortals in ecstasy, the clan leader on the side said softly, looking a little sad.
"The end of fate and the destiny of heaven are the destined fate of every cultivator," Luo Tian whispered to himself, looking at the clan leader: "These eight people have immeasurable merit and virtue. In fact, they have been introduced to the world long ago and are praised by the world. There are many ancestral temples.
It can be regarded as a good result."
"Senior, we have never been out. Is the Eighth Patriarch really praised in the world?" the patriarch asked excitedly.
Luo Tian nodded gently: "Yes, the legend about the Eight Immortals is praised by the world."
"That's good, that's good, the Eighth Patriarch is finally remembered by the world," the old man said happily.
Seeing Luo Tian looking elsewhere, there were many statues there, but they were all located at the bottom of the Eight Immortals, so he explained softly: "These are the statues erected by future generations after the death of our eight ancestors.
For those who live in the ancestral temple, their merits cannot be compared with those of the Eighth Patriarch. They just want to stand under the Eighth Patriarch’s seat and listen to the teachings.”
Luo Tian nodded slightly. Naturally, he didn't recognize the following people.
"Brother, look at what this is?"
Xiao Ling was not idle, looking around. At this time, she found a huge Buddhist bead from behind a huge incense table. The place was covered with dust, but this Buddhist bead was not stained and exuded.
Light shine.
"Don't touch that thing, put it back quickly,"
Seeing what was in Xiao Ling's hand, the clan leader couldn't help but change his expression. He cried out and wanted to snatch the beads in Xiao Ling's hand. However, he was no match for Xiao Ling. He was knocked away by her with a slight shock.
.
"Girl, don't be rude,"
Luo Tian came over, took the Buddhist bead in Xiao Ling's hand, carefully observed it, and felt a little moved in his heart. This was not a Buddhist bead, but a Buddhist bead relic. It actually contained huge energy fluctuations, but it was not stimulated by anyone.
That's all.
"The Eight Immortals are Taoists, while Buddhist beads belong to Buddhism. The views of the two religions have always been different. It is taboo to enshrine Buddhist things in Taoism, but why can we see Buddhist things here? Taoism and Buddhism
What does it have to do with, of course, there is the Golden Moon Continent——"
Luo Tian looked at the Buddhist bead relic and muttered to himself, with a somewhat solemn look on his face. He originally wanted to solve the seal issue and then go find the roots of Buddhism. After all, the leader of the Ten Thousand Buddhas of the Golden Moon Continent and the Buddhist sect on the earth
He looks so much like Dang Neng, and his etiquette is just like those in myths and legends.
Leaving aside Taoism, Buddhism is definitely related to the earth, but Luo Tian doesn't know whether those people went to the Golden Moon Continent or whether people from the Golden Moon Continent came to the earth.
"Senior, this Buddhist bead relic was created when the Eighth Patriarch went out to sea. He encountered a peerless demon and almost died. Later, he was rescued by a Buddhist master. However, the Buddhist master was seriously injured. In the end, he passed away, leaving only
I found this Buddhist bead relic. Originally, Taoism and Buddhism were incompatible with each other, but - the Eighth Patriarch had a legacy on this matter, and he did not let future generations talk about it easily, for fear of arousing the Taoist power - "
The patriarch looked at the Buddhist beads in Luo Tian's hand, and in desperation, told the story that had been handed down.
"The world's great roads come from the same sect and origin. Whether they are Tao, Buddha, or even demons, they all arrive at the same destination through different paths. There is no difference. The only difference is the human heart!"
Luo Tian said lightly, then returned the prayer bead to the clan leader, and said at the same time: "This prayer bead not only contains powerful spiritual energy, but also the truth of Buddhism. It may not be of much use to the strong, but for
It will still be of great benefit to you. This great power helped your Eighth Patriarch back then. I believe that the relic he transformed will also be willing to help you descendants. Therefore, if you are willing, you can use your spiritual power to smash this relic. Otherwise,
, not only will the space spiritual power here become abundant, but your strength will also increase very quickly."
Luo Tian's spiritual consciousness invaded this Buddhist bead, and he naturally knew the secrets within it. According to his speculation, the strength of this Buddhist power was at the middle stage of the Heaven Realm at best, so naturally what he left behind could not be hidden from Luo Tian.
Moreover, before this Buddhist power was enthroned, he gathered a lot of spiritual power from heaven and earth, which was hidden in this Buddhist bead. The spiritual power in it should be equivalent to less than half of a low-level spiritual power source. As expected,
If it is true, this great power should be a secret method that condenses the spiritual power of heaven and earth. Otherwise, it would be impossible to condense such a large spiritual power into the relics.
"Could it be that when the Eight Patriarchs asked us and the rest to enshrine this Buddhist bead relic, was this also for this purpose? They had already expected that this space would be depleted of spiritual power in the future?"
The patriarch carefully took the Buddhist beads with his hands with a somewhat solemn expression, and thought doubtfully in his heart.
"After all, this is a matter within your clan. I don't want to get involved. You can make your own decision. If you need my help, just say so," Luo Tian said casually.
"Brother, here - it seems there is no such -"
At this moment, Xiao Ling came up to Luo Tian and said softly that she had just sensed that there was no aura of the mysterious altar here, and there were no other mysterious existences even in the Bao Huan Qianxing space.
"I know," Luo Tian said softly without letting Xiao Ling finish. In fact, Luo Tian scanned the space with his spiritual consciousness from the moment he entered, and did not find the whereabouts of the altar. As expected, Luo Tian
, there should be no altar in this sealed place.
"After all, this is a relic left by the Eighth Patriarch, so I think it's better to enshrine it here,"
At this moment, the patriarch was holding the Buddha bead relic in his hand and whispered to himself. After listening to Luo Tian's words, he also knew that this may be the ancestor who preserved this thing for future generations. Firstly, it was to commemorate the great Buddhist master. Secondly,
Just as Luo Tian said, he can help them improve their strength. Although he currently lacks spiritual power, after all, there are still too few masters with psychic realm in the clan. He is the only one, and he cannot do it for his own selfish reasons.
Use this Buddha bead relic.
"Seeing that you have reached the peak of the early stage of psychic life, since you are here, I will help you," Luo Tian looked at the clan leader, thought for a moment, and then grabbed the man with a big hand.
"boom--"
The spiritual energy roared, and the clan leader could not move. With the help of Luo Tian's mysterious method, the surprise in his heart was indescribable. He had been at the peak of the early stage of spiritualism for many years, and his energy and blood had aged. If nothing unexpected happened,
, he can only live for about two hundred years at most, and he will surely age until death, and there will be no possibility of advancement. However, he met Luo Tian, who was ready to help him advance to a higher level.
"Big brother, you-"
Xiao Ling was a little dissatisfied. If Luo Tian did this, he would definitely consume a lot of his spiritual power. Under the current situation, the spiritual power would be reduced if he used it a little, even though they still had a large number of spiritual power pills and a lot of spiritual power sources.
, but Xiao Ling still disagreed with helping others in this way, but Xiao Ling also knew that everything Luo Tian did had its own reason, so although he felt a little distressed, he did not stop Luo Tian from what he did.
"Swallow it and activate your skills!"
Luo Tian shouted loudly, flicked his index finger, and shot a pill directly into the clan leader's mouth.
"boom--"
The elixir melted in the mouth, and I could only feel a roaring sound in my body, like thunder, the aging blood began to roll, bursting out with vitality, and the spiritual power in my body was surging like an ocean, rapidly impacting the pass.
