Chapter 424 The school examination of the ancestors
"This little brother, you are so evil and different from ordinary people. I just happened to have a copy of the "Obstacle Breaking Sutra" here. I will sell it to you for a hundred yuan. You can buy it, pray in front of the statue, recite it once, and then burn it.
That’s it, the evil spirit will be eliminated naturally.”
"Master, do you think I am mentally retarded?"
"That's all, don't force it, young man. When your evil spirit rises and you can't control it, come back and beg me. Then burn ten copies of "Obstacle Breaking Sutra"."
After the old man Xianghuo chattered for a few words, he started to sell his handwritten scriptures to Xu Zhi, and he also played tricks to get them. This was too unprofessional.
"A Tubo, you are using that pile of rotten scriptures to deceive people again. Xu Zhi, keep your money better and don't let him see it. He has a sharp eye. He can tell who has money and who doesn't at a glance.
.”
"You are the granddaughter of that guy Lao Gu, right? You have grown so big in the blink of an eye. Oh, I have told you so many times, don't expose me in front of outsiders, otherwise A Tubo will have a very difficult life in his later years.
It’s not a lie, relying on talent to make a living is also a skill, there is always some small truth in the cycle of heaven and earth.”
Gu Baobao didn't say a few words, but the master showed his true form, which made Xu Zhi dumbfounded for a while. It seemed that his image and dress were incompatible with the local people, and that was why Atubo noticed him.
There are a bunch of stone, wood and clay Buddha statues in the ancient Lotus Temple. The only resident living person is the old man Xianghuo. He relies on charity for food, drink and housing. From time to time, this old man pretends to be a magician to make some money, and his life is nourishing.
"Let's go, Xu Zhi, let's go see Dongcili's treasure. Atubo, let's go."
In ordinary temples, when worshiping ancestors, they usually engrave their glorious deeds and blessings in life for future generations to remember. However, in Meishan Township, these ancestors not only carve their names on the tablets, but most of the things engraved around them are their life experiences and learnings.
"With the same cultivation method, everyone practices differently and has different perceptions, so the seal cutting is different. Many of them are imitated by the younger generations based on the cultivation notes and other materials of their ancestors."
"Look, this True Martial Arts Sutra, I remember hearing Atubo say before that he transcribed 237 kinds of training tips."
The densely packed cave temples are the tombs of the ancestors of Meishan Township. The unique customs have also created a unique cultural deposit.
"interesting."
Xu Zhi swept his eyes and saw the small characters on the stone wall. Most of these ancestors' cultivation level was not high. He looked at nearly a hundred people. Among them, the highest achievement was the expert cultivator. Those with low cultivation level were in the range of body builders.
Wandering, everyone has a different focus on what they have learned in practice, resulting in thousands of scenes of martial arts and Qi training on the stone wall, with different forms.
"Your ancestors are really amazing. If any descendants encounter the same situation as our ancestors while practicing, they can at least give them the right medicine."
Some of the problems encountered by the ancestors made notes and explanations on their own, and some did not understand them until their death. Some descendants who solved the problems took stone tablets, carved them, and placed them on one side.
The cave temples are built around the mountain and are densely distributed around the Lotus Ancient Temple. Some of them go deep into the mountain and even underground, forming a complex underground kingdom.
The seal carvings on the older cave temples have been weathered and blurred, and are covered with green moss. The further you go inside, the more so they become.
"It is said that these ancestors will call their descendants to take the school exam every few decades. If they fail, they will not be released. They will have to practice with them for the rest of their lives."
While visiting, Gu Baobao told Xu Zhi some rumors about Meishan Township. The place he was in was already deep inside the cave temple. The writing on the stele had almost disappeared, and some stele were broken and broken into pieces.
A few pieces have lost their reading value. These caves and temples can only be used as cultural relics as souvenirs.
"Your ancestors were really strict."
"Of course, we are the hometown of martial arts here. By the way, after reading so much, have you gained anything?"
"It's very good. It has broadened my knowledge. Now I have a lot of things in my head. It is indeed a harvest and an eye-opener to see the practice experience of so many people."
The experiences of many ancestors with poor cultivation are of no use, but the problems encountered by some people from basic cultivators to expert cultivators are quite inspiring to Xu Zhi. This kind of content cannot be found on the Internet.
It is also rare for the school to meet such a dense group of practitioners to talk about it, so it provides some reference to a certain extent.
"It's a worthwhile trip."
Finally, Xu Zhi added that it is also a very proud thing to make Gu Bao Bao happy and for his hometown to be liked by others.
"Then let's go back. After wandering here for two or three hours, my head is a little dizzy. Fortunately, there are signs, otherwise it would be difficult for us to find our way back."
Over hundreds of thousands of years, countless people in Meishan Township have built cave temples in this place, twisting and turning, the ground and underground are constantly being deepened and extended. The place the two of them are in is extremely dark, and it is still Xu Zhi.
I only got so far with an energy lamp for lighting.
A burst of gray mist rose out of thin air and instantly filled the passage of the cave temple. The sudden change made Gu Baobao scream in surprise and his face turned pale.
"The ancestors are here to bring people."
Gu Baobao turned around and looked behind him. It was completely dark, and Xu Zhi's figure was nowhere to be seen. There was no energy lamp, and he couldn't see his fingers.
In the dense fog, even if there is energy lamp illumination, the range of illumination is still limited. This is not the ancestor calling the descendants to attend the school examination. It is obviously a clue of a ruins.
"Don't ask, don't think, let's keep walking out."
Xu Zhi, who had two ruins experiences, shouted at Gu Baobao. Suddenly, he took Gu Baobao's hand and he disappeared.
To enter the ruins, firstly, you have to come into contact with the gray mist; secondly, you have some desire to enter; thirdly, you must comply with the rules for entering the ruins, such as cultivation level, age, etc.
"Am I really a evil star? I have a white tiger spirit on my forehead. I cause harm wherever I go. Even ancient bags are not spared now."
Thinking of the old man Xianghuo's words, Xu Zhi couldn't help but have some shadows in his heart. It was said that it would be decades after the interval. This decades is ten years, twenty years, thirty or fifty years. Who could remember the number last time?
Click, just wait for us to come in.
If it is according to what Gu Baobao said, it is only opened once every few decades. Only the villagers know that this ruins is probably in a state where few people or no one has explored it. Not many families are willing to spend dozens of time guarding this place.
, just waiting for a few explorers to come in when the door opens.
It is even possible that few people will verify this ruins, but Meishan Township regards it as some kind of magical legend among the ancestors.
"Where is the blue millstone? It's the main entrance."
Sticking to the idea of not entering the ruins, Xu Zhi swam in the thick fog for a few minutes. In the cave temple, the scene had become distorted. It was impossible to distinguish the north, south, east, west, and even the signboards and roads.
After bumping around several times and getting bruised and swollen, Xu Zhi felt relieved and let go of his thoughts.
"Enter"
Unable to find the main entrance to the ruins, we can only enter through this dangerous foggy area. We must find the ancient bag as soon as possible. This girl is not good at anything except crying. She is very weak. Xu Zhi suspects that there is something in the ruins.
A skeleton can kill her.
I hope this ruins will not block the cultivation level and limit it to basic cultivators.
Thinking of the gap between Gu Baobao and himself in Qi training, Xu Zhi felt dizzy.
