The Great Holy Temple is solemn and holy, far less eerie than it looks from the outside.
In the dark, there is always an unknown energy that protects the entire ancient temple.
Such a place often entrusts the good wishes of future generations, and if incense is often offered and worshiped, there should be no evil spirits causing trouble.
However, Liu Shuzhu still had some concerns in his heart. He didn't want to cause trouble, but he didn't know what to do now!
The ancient ruins are vast, and they are trapped in the city ruins. They need to be careful every step of the way, walking on thin ice, and have no idea where to go to find the great monk Hui Fan. The mysterious emperor is entangled by a giant rat, and the victory or defeat is uncertain. However, several people are also trapped by the terrifying black mist.
Forced into the Great Sage Ancient Temple...everything that happens cannot be controlled by just the strength of a few of them!
After being separated from the mysterious emperor, it seemed that he had no backbone.
Seeing that Monk Yanji did not stop the young monk, Liu Shuzhu let him go.
Inside the ancestral hall, there is probably a statue of the Great Sage Cang Duo. It is good to go in and take a look. If you get some insights, it will be a rare blessing.
Take care of your destiny!
This sentence is not true at all. In the ancient world, life, death, misfortune, and blessings are not something that an individual can have the final say.
"You idiot, don't forget that this is still the place where the Buddha is buried. You are not here for sightseeing. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. We will leave after we pay our respects. When we get to the temple, you must not act recklessly!"
After all, Liu Shuzhu couldn't worry about him, so he quickly picked up Jun Yao and followed the young monk to the depths of the Forest of Steles.
Monk Yanji followed Liu Shuzhu closely, never leaving.
What was the original intention of moving the ancestral halls and temples of ancient sages and Bodhisattvas to the burial sites of Buddhas?
This question has always been unclear to people, and the more unclear something is, the less sure Liu Shuzhu feels!
Logically speaking, a place to commemorate the sages of the past must have been constantly popular and popular since it was built, just like a Buddhist temple.
Could it be that... the Great Holy Temple has been worshiped by the world. After a long time, every brick and tile used in building the temple was contaminated with the breath of living beings, and then became no longer ordinary, and the thoughts of living beings were mixed together.
, can generate a Qi similar to 'righteousness', which not only protects the ancient temple, but also helps to suppress the remnant soul of the monarch, so it was moved in?
As the saying goes, evil cannot prevail against good!
But this is just Liu Shuzhu's personal guess and has no factual basis.
The black mist outside is rootless, ghostly and erratic, and I don't know what kind of energy it is.
…
Passing through the forest of stone monuments, there is a magnificent palace in front of you.
The foundation of the temple is extremely tall, with green bricks and green tiles, and there is a row of thick stone pillars standing in front of the corridor. One look at it makes people admire it!
On both sides of the main hall, there are several side halls built in an orderly manner.
Since there is no palace gate built, we can see that there are no incense tables, shrines and other items in the side halls on both sides, but a larger stone tablet is erected on each side. It looks empty, which can't help but make people feel a little confused.
doubt.
Further back of the main hall, there are many cornices and a stretch of quaint palaces, which are really not small in scale.
"Oh my god!" the young monk exclaimed, "This place is more magnificent than the three major temples put together. To honor the great saint, you don't need to build it like this."
He glanced furtively into the main hall for a few times, and found that there was nothing inside. With a heavy "eh" sound, he crossed the threshold and walked directly into the hall.
Liu Shuzhu led Jun Yao, followed closely by Monk Yanji, and walked in together.
The top of the hall is high and wide, and the surroundings are wide. Except for a thick layer of dust accumulated on the ground, there is really nothing. There is no incense table, and there is no statue of the great sage!
"That's wrong!"
The little monk looked disappointed and ran to the front and made random gestures.
"In this position, there should be a huge incense case. Behind the incense case, there should be a statue of the Great Sage. Curtains are hung on both sides, and futons are placed underneath so that people who come in to worship can kneel on the ground and kowtow.
The offerings should also be placed on the table!"
His ringing voice sounded in the empty hall, triggering a series of echoes.
"Could it be that all the people who were moved to the ancient temple were moved away?"
Liu Shuzhu also wondered: "Master, shouldn't there be a stone statue of the Great Sage in the front hall to pay homage to? How could it be empty?" Monk Yanji shook his head and said nothing. His knowledge was completely insufficient here.
"I don't believe there is nothing!"
The young monk was not convinced. When he saw that the high wall behind was not a dead end, but connected to the next temple, he rushed back again.
Liu Shuzhu shouted hurriedly: "Little fat man, what did you say before? Don't let your mother come in!"
But the young monk was quick on his feet, so he and the monk Yanji had no choice but to follow. Since it was empty, there would be no invisible danger.
The second level palace was also empty; the third level palace was still like this!
"It seems to me that everything here must have been stolen. Even the incense ashes have been swept away. We are too late!"
By this time, Liu Shuzhu became a little confused and couldn't tell whether this ancient temple was 'sacred' or 'weird'.
Fortunately, when we arrived at the fourth level of the palace, a stone statue was placed in the palace and it was no longer empty.
In front of the stone statue, there is a row of collapsed incense tables. The curtains have fallen to the ground and are about to rot away. The ground is full of rotten utensils, mixed together. After all, too much time has passed.
The three of them stopped to look at it, and realized that this was the true appearance of the Great Sage Cang Duo.
The stone statue is more than ten meters high. It is the image of a man wearing ancient clothes. It is covered in dust and looks very ordinary. In one hand, it is holding a treasure that looks like a bell.
Cang means green; Duo is actually an ancient musical instrument, shaped like a bell, which has become extremely rare since the Shengwu era.
It seems that this is the origin of the name of the Great Sage Cang Duo, and his magical weapon is a Duo.
The young monk was unwilling to give in, so he rummaged through the rotten wood at his feet.
"Master Liu!"
Outside, the voice of Emperor Jianren suddenly came out, sounding very urgent.
As soon as his figure flashed, he and Zhao Ziyun chased in. Host Xuan Sen, who was full of Bodhi energy, joined them.
Previously, Emperor Jianren had been studying the ancient characters on the inscriptions, and was attracted by the stone tablets in the side hall. Without noticing anything dangerous, he and Master Xuansen entered a side hall respectively, and did not enter the main hall with them. However, at this moment
, Zhao Ziyun's face was pale, Emperor Jianren looked ugly, and even Host Xuan Sen looked a little at a loss.
Liu Shuzhu asked solemnly: "What happened?"
Emperor Jianren said anxiously: "Here... this is not just an ancestral hall to commemorate the great saint. The inscriptions in the side hall are full of obituaries and elegy..."
"Obituary?"
Liu Shuzhu thought about it for a moment, and instantly understood what he meant, and his scalp suddenly exploded.
Host Xuansen also said: "This place is not just a ancestral hall, but the burial place of the great saint!"
Ancestral halls and ancestral temples have evolved to this day and have become a simple place of worship, not the same thing as a cemetery. But in ancient times, it was completely understandable that they were one and the same!
This... this is equivalent to the tomb of the Great Sage Cang Duo!
Any place where the bones of strong men are buried is not a good place. The stronger the person buried, the more unwilling they will be to rest!
Good and evil in life may not be the same after death!
Now that I think about where the force that closed the door came from, it is extremely scary. Liu Shuzhu secretly cursed himself for being so fanciful that he would involve the power of thoughts of all living beings. The reason why there is a Qi machine covering the ancient temple here,
It was entirely because of the burial of an ancient great saint!
No matter who it is, the main reason for moving the ancestral temple to the temple is probably because it contains the body of a deceased great saint!
"This place is ominous, let's leave quickly!"
When Emperor Jianren came in, little monk Ruzhen was bending down to pick up something from the ground. When he heard that it was the burial place of the great sage, he trembled with fright.
"What!"
Ding ding!
In his hand, he held an object that looked like a bell, but he had just picked it up from under his feet. It was covered with old blue patina, and it looked exactly like the bell on the statue!
As soon as the bell rang, the whole temple seemed to shake. The young monk's face turned pale and he no longer dared to move!
And at the same time.
Jun Yao squeezed Liu Shuzhu's hand with her little hand and whispered in his ear: "There... there is someone there."
