"Your Majesty, this is the Sutra of Forty-Two Chapters that the young monk borrowed from the Shaolin Temple. Please take a look."
This is a living room with elegant decoration. At first glance, there is nothing special about it. If you observe carefully, you will know that there is a small inscription on the lower left side of the huge landscape painting screen in the living room, which reads "Tang Yin"
Two words.
There are only three people in the living room now, two of them are standing and one is sitting.
The person who was standing and talking was a tall, dark-skinned monk, wearing yellow inner and red outer robes, and a bright yellow cockscomb hat. He was bending over to please, holding a scripture wrapped in yellow silk and satin in his hand.
Presented to another man in black with a black belt.
This monk spoke the original words very fluently, and he was no ordinary monk, he was the Dharma King Likong of Dalun Temple in Tubo.
In Tubo, Dharma King Li Kong was one of the two most eminent monks of Tibet, together with King Maha Lun Ming. He was also the national master of Tibet and the best master of Tibet. The person who could bend him down to flatter him must be an extraordinary person.
After the man in black clothes and black belt took the scripture from the hands of Dharma King Likong, he handed it to the only person sitting upright in the hall. After that person took the scripture and browsed it casually, he smiled at Dharma King Likong and said, "Master Youlao
Thank you for your hard work, please go and rest."
King Likong made a Buddhist salute to the man, then took his leave and left.
This "Sutra of Forty-Two Chapters" was "borrowed" by His Holiness Li Kong when he went to Shaolin Temple to attend (uninvited) the Ullambana Dharma Ceremony on July 15th.
Before the ceremony began, in the name of exchange and learning, Dharma King Li Kong first presented the Shaolin Temple with ten precious manuscripts of scriptures brought from Tibet, and then named him to exchange for the "Forty-Two Chapters Sutra".
Naturally, the Shaolin Temple refused to agree, so King Likong showed off his martial arts again. He fought against the three Shaolin monks with one man.
Of course, he didn't have the ability to fight against three, but he forced himself to use the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu" to fight three monks from the Shaolin Temple. He won three out of three times, so he forcibly transferred the "Forty-Two Chapter Sutra" from the Shaolin Temple.
"Borrowed" it.
[Dragon-Elephant Prajna Kung Fu] is recorded in the Dragon-Elephant Prajna Sutra. It is the supreme Dharma-protecting magical skill in Tubo Tantric Buddhism. It is divided into thirteen levels. It is said that each level of Dragon-Elephant Prajna Kung Fu will increase the power of one dragon and one elephant.
Of course, the power of a dragon and an elephant must be bragging. The power of a horse is considered powerful. After practicing to the tenth level, you can have ten horses.
This is not small.
Many walk-behind tractors in rural areas only have a few horsepower. They can drag a bucket weighing several hundred kilograms uphill and over ridges. If this power were replaced by a pile driver and punched into a person's body, who could resist?
live.
[Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu] also has weaknesses. Its long-term operation will put a huge load on the body. It is a kind of strange martial arts where the higher the level of cultivation, the shorter the life span.
When Xiao Xiami created [Tiangang Wuji Kung], he also referred to [Dragon and Elephant Prajna Kung]. Of course, Xiao Xiami had some dislike for [Dragon and Elephant Prajna Kung].
Xiao Xiami dislikes the [Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu] for being too weak in pressure.
It's only the 13th floor and it's interesting. If you want to do it, make a big move.
Therefore, Xiao Xiami’s [Tiangang Wuji Kung Fu] has no upper limit, and its power will be as fast as it can run.
In fact, this is a set of internal skills and mental methods tailor-made for players.
Because only players can instantly increase pressure to dozens of levels; and players can use Qi and blood to resist damage, and are extremely capable of withstanding pressure; finally, players can also release power pressure instantly and stop in an instant without inertia.
This is the fundamental reason why there has not been another Xiao Xiami in the past hundred years after the "Tiangang Wuji Gong" was passed down.
Because no matter how the natives practice, they can't move and retract as freely as the shrimps. Either the pressure is not enough, or they train themselves until the meridians explode.
The same is true for [Dragon and Elephant Prajna Kung Fu].
Every time you use [Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu] to pressurize to the limit, it will put a huge burden on the body.
In order to "lend" this "Forty-Two Chapters Sutra", Dharma King Li Kong really spent a lot of money, at least giving up a few months of his life to get it.
This book was requested by the prince by name.
During the short half month from Shaolin Temple to Jiangnan, Dharma King Li Kong also read the "Forty-Two Chapters Sutra" over and over more than ten times, took off the cover of the book more than once, and even used a sharp knife to cut the thin pages out of the book.
I cut open a few pages, but couldn't find anything strange.
If you say that the Sutra of Forty-Two Chapters is an ordinary Buddhist scripture, it would definitely be an insult to the wisdom of Dharma King Likong.
Because regardless of the attitude of the prince or the Shaolin Temple, the "Sutra of Forty-Two Chapters" must contain some secret.
It is a pity that King Li Kong was unable to find out what secrets were in the sutra, so he could only choose to hand over the "ordinary" Sutra of Forty-Two Chapters to the prince willingly.
After King Li Kong went out, the prince, who was sitting in the hall, reached out and touched the mechanism on the armchair. Then the wall behind him opened, revealing a secret room.
The prince picked up the Buddhist scripture wrapped in yellow silk and walked into it, followed closely by the man in black clothes and belt. When the two entered the secret room, the wall closed again, and the empty hall fell silent.
This secret room is relatively spacious, with a dark window at the top to allow ventilation, but the indoor lighting relies on several huge whale oil candles.
The secret room is neat and tidy, with rows and rows of bookshelves filled with all kinds of books and albums.
Two of the four walls are covered with various notes. On the wall facing the door, there is a huge map of the whole country. It is sewn by hand with high-quality dyed silk thread and enlarged to the same proportion.
Map of Beichou].
There is a table in the corner of the secret room and a few chairs and stools next to the table, making the entire secret room more like a study.
Seeing the prince come in, the two maids rushed to greet him. After receiving no instructions, they slowly retreated and stood silently in a corner of the secret room.
This secret room is the prince's secret war room.
It contains all kinds of information collected over the past ten years, including mountain and river exploration, river trends, people's livelihood and folk customs, lists of large households in various places, and various information on officials in the DPRK and China and local officials.
The two maids in the secret room were originally two sisters, and they had not left the secret room for three years.
The prince's promise to them was to take them in to fill the house after five years, so they were willing to guard this secret room with all their heart.
This prince is King Cheng, who is known as the wise king.
King Cheng turned around and sat on a comfortable wide chair, and casually opened the "Forty-Two Chapters Sutra" in his hand. Although this sutra looked like other sutras on the surface, King Cheng knew that there was a big secret hidden in it.
And there is no need to doubt it. It can be said with certainty that King Li Kong has definitely tampered with this "Sutra of Forty-Two Chapters".
"Your Majesty, will this scripture be stolen by that monk?" The man in black with a black belt asked cautiously to Prince Cheng.
This man in black clothes and black belt is called Bai Jiuchi (a character template provided by a scammer), and his courtesy name is Panran. He is five feet six inches tall, with a fair face and no beard. He is one of the confidants of King Cheng. It can be said that he is Cheng.
King Zhuge Kongming.
However, this person has the wisdom of Zhuge Kongming, but does not have the wisdom of Zhuge Kongming. Although he is extremely smart, he cannot achieve great things.
"He doesn't dare yet." King Cheng smiled and opened the scriptures casually and said to Bai Jiuchi: "That monk, firstly, he wanted something from me, and secondly, he didn't know what was in the book, so at best he just wanted to find it.
Let’s find out what exactly we want this book to do.
As for the desire to change, he doesn’t even know what we are using this book for, how dare he change it at will?”
Bai Jiuchi bent down and nodded, accepting the instruction with an open mind.
Although Bai Jiuchi can arrange things perfectly in his plans, he also has a bad habit of a staff officer, planning without making a decision and making decisions without stopping, which makes him more likely to fall into an endless cycle of fighting against himself.
Therefore, Bai Jiuchi is King Cheng's first adviser, but he can only stay with King Cheng to advise him, and has no ability to act alone.
By the way, who knows whether Bai Jiuchi's "inability to stand alone" is because he really doesn't have this ability, or if he is pretending on purpose.
People can't be too smart, they have to have some shortcomings.
…
"Bring a brazier." King Cheng ordered while flipping through the scriptures.
After a while, a maid carried a very hot brazier and placed it in front of King Cheng.
King Cheng looked at the orange-red and bluish flames in the brazier, and he threw the "Forty-Two Chapter Sutra" in his hand into the brazier.
"Your Majesty!" Bai Jiuchi screamed when he saw King Cheng throwing the "Forty-Two Chapters Sutra" he had finally obtained into the brazier. Later, he felt that he was too rude, and then he restrained his emotions again.
"Panran." King Cheng looked at the brazier and said to Bai Jiuchi: "Do you think your judgment will be wrong?"
When Bai Jiuchi heard this, he immediately said categorically: "There must be nothing wrong."
King Cheng smiled again and said: "Then Beichou's information, is it wrong?"
After Bai Jiuchi heard this, he thought about it and said to King Cheng: "As far as the current verification is concerned, Beichou has never said that he missed anything in the past ten years."
The largest amount of information stored in King Cheng's war room is the intelligence on Beichou collected by King Cheng in the past ten years.
Although King Cheng does not have the qualifications of "Wei Aipi", he is qualified to acquire Beichou's information from "Wei Aipi".
After hearing what Bai Jiuchi said, King Cheng nodded and said, "Since there is nothing wrong, then Dharma King Li Kong also spent nearly half a month getting along with this scripture day and night, but he did not find anything unusual, which shows that this thing is extremely hidden.
Only fire can make it appear."
Bai Jiuchi had to nod in admiration.
It cost more than 100,000 taels of silver, as well as the short quota of a "vassal king", before inviting the Dharma King Li Kong to the Shaolin Temple to forcibly "borrow" this scripture.
However, King Cheng was always magnanimous in his actions. After ruling out other possibilities, he casually threw the scriptures he had paid such a price into the fire. This shows that King Cheng had great trust in his own judgment, and at the same time, King Cheng was extremely decisive in his actions.
After King Cheng threw the scripture in his hand into the brazier, the strong charcoal fire instantly devoured the scripture.
After a while, when the charcoal fire started to dwindle, King Cheng picked up the pliers beside the brazier and pulled it in the basin. Then he pinched it gently and took something out of the fire.
"It really does exist!" When Bai Jiuchi saw King Cheng picking up the object, he couldn't help but exclaimed even though he had already expected it.
Looking at this thing alone, it is one inch square, as thin as a cicada's wing, but opaque. It feels neither gold nor stone, but it is not destroyed by fire.
This is the [Temple Key] mentioned in Beichou's information.
The information about the keys to the temple was repeatedly reviewed and refined by Bai Jiuchi from a large amount of information about Beichou.
The temple key can be divided into two parts. Originally, Nan Xian and Bei Chou each held one half. This object has the property of being "indestructible".
But since Xiao Xiami, no one has seen the key to the temple again, so the legends about the temple have gradually become like myths and legends.
Today the key to the temple appears so realistically before our eyes, which means that Xiao Xiami, the door to the temple, and the world of the temple all really exist.
Bai Jiuchi felt dizzy.
There really is a "heaven beyond heaven"!
Being able to memorize the Beichou information for more than ten years and deduce the location of the key to the temple, Bai Jiuchi naturally understands what the "temple" is.
The Tianlong Sect far away in the Western Regions has always regarded the "Holy Temple" as the Kingdom of Heaven, and the "Gate of the Holy Church" is the door to the Kingdom of Heaven. The martial arts people in the Central Plains have always ridiculed the Tianlong Sect for being ignorant. It turns out that they are right: the Holy Temple is really outside the world.
skyline.
Thinking of this, Bai Jiuchi suddenly became excited. If he could get the complete key to the temple, he could let the prince enter the outer world.
According to Beichou's information, immortals in the outer world can travel thousands of miles in a day, send messages thousands of miles, and can even go up to the sky and into the earth, destroying the heaven and earth with a single move of their hands.
If the prince had learned even a little bit of the skills of an immortal, wouldn't he be able to get the dragon title easily?
Originally, when King Cheng asked Bai Jiuchi to research Beichou's information, Bai Jiuchi still had a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart. He felt that reading strange stories from more than ten years ago would not be of any help to the prince's current affairs.
Since it was King Cheng's order, although Bai Jiuchi was a little dissatisfied, he still settled down and spent three months studying Beichou's information over the past ten years.
At this time, Bai Jiuchi discovered an important clue.
This matter still has to start with the war in the Western Regions that lasted more than ten years.
According to the record in "Memoirs of Bei Chou", when the church key is close to the door of the church, no other action is required, and there will be an automatic induction between the two.
A half key can only "awaken" the church door, which is "activate" in the original text. Only a complete key can open the church door.
Fifteen years ago, after the Temple Gate was activated, there happened to be an earthquake, and a crack was torn open on the top of the underground palace.
The white light emitted by the door of the temple spread through the cracks in the underground palace to the surface, and was discovered by the passing caravan.
Subsequently, the caravan reported the news to the Tianlong Sect. After an on-site inspection, the Tianlong Sect members declared the place where the white light came out to be a miracle.
Bai Jiuchi deduced from this that at least half of the key must have been "inserted" in the church door at that time.
Later, in order to compete for this land of white light, the six major sects and the Tianlong Sect fought a bloody battle.
Finally, when the sky collapsed and the earth shattered, the Thunderbolt Hall, the underground palace, the gate of the holy church, and countless elites of the Tianlong Sect and the martial arts people of the Central Plains were wiped out.
After the war, the vitality of both the Central Plains Wulin and the Tianlong Sect were severely damaged. The Central Plains Wulin people withdrew from the Western Regions. The Tianlong Sect sent thousands of members to carry out excavation work on the ruins, claiming to the outside world that they wanted to excavate and properly place the remains of the Tianlong Sect and the Central Plains Wulin people.
Because the temple key has the property of being "indestructible", if there is a temple key, then the temple key must be in the hands of the Tianlong Sect.
At that time, the Heavenly King was in power in the Tianlong Sect. If the key to the temple fell into the hands of the Tianlong Sect, it should be in the hands of the Heavenly King.
Ten years ago, that is, the fifth year after the Battle of Perak Hall, the Central Plains sect suddenly received a rumor that the King of Heaven had left the Western Region Diocese and headed to the Central Plains alone.
After learning this secret information, the three Shaolin monks Wu Yin, Wu Se, and Wu Hui joined forces with other martial arts righteous men. They formed a team to ambush on the roadside, and sure enough, the King of Heaven was really waiting for him.
After a fierce battle, the King of Heaven was captured and imprisoned in the Shaolin Temple.
In this battle, the Central Plains Wulin could be said to have achieved a complete victory, but what they did not expect was that after the Dragon King, the younger brother of the Heavenly King, took over, the Heavenly Dragon Sect changed its previous gentle preaching and became extremely radical.
The Tianlong Sect poses a greater threat to the Central Plains martial arts than when the Heavenly King was in power.
At this time, everyone finally understood that the Central Plains Wulin's great victory was only used by the Dragon King and used them as a tool to eradicate the Heavenly King.
For the next four years, the Heavenly King was imprisoned in the Shaolin Temple. The Shaolin Temple was greatly troubled by this incident.
For the King of Heaven, it is not possible to kill him, not to kill him, to imprison him, or to release him. The Shaolin Temple has simply made itself a hot potato that cannot be thrown away.
When the Heavenly King was imprisoned in the Shaolin Temple, he often read Buddhist scriptures to cultivate his moral character. What he read the most was the "Forty-Two Chapter Sutra". Therefore, if the Heavenly King wants to hide the key to the temple somewhere, there is a high probability that it will be here
In this "Forty-Two Chapter Sutra".
This was the clue that Bai Jiuchi deduced from Beichou's intelligence. When he reported it to King Cheng, King Cheng immediately took action.
Another month later, the key to the temple appeared in front of Bai Jiuchi's eyes, which caused Bai Jiuchi to have a feeling.
King Cheng is really a man blessed by God, how can this great cause not be accomplished?
