Different from the impression of a quiet, solemn and peaceful Buddhist temple, this temple has many angry-eyed Vajra statues standing everywhere, standing in two rows, like soldiers in formation.
Because these statues of Vajra with angry eyes are very tall and look like evil ghosts holding golden maces in their hands, giving people a sense of majesty and oppression.
Entering the Kuoda Square in the atrium of the temple, there is a hall on the right. Behind the hall stands a huge Buddha statue. The Buddha statue is huge and covers the entire hall. It looks like a hell Rakshasa and has six arms.
Zhang Lingluo took out the Buddha statues that Dugu Shangzhi had searched for earlier for comparison, and found that they were exactly the same.
When Fan Bochang and Xu Hui met, they were slightly surprised: "Xuannu, how come you have such a thing?"
"Elder Dugu found it earlier."
Elder Wu who followed him asked: "Xuannu, what kind of evil thing is this?"
Zhang Lingluo smiled and asked: "Elder Wu, would you enshrine evil things in your home like this?"
Elder Wu: "So?"
"So this is not an evil thing, but something sacred that people here believe in. People cannot distinguish good from evil based on beauty and ugliness."
After Xu Hui looked at it carefully, he said: "This Buddha statue looks familiar."
Zhang Lingluo said calmly: "Although there is a slight discrepancy, he should be the god of cars in Buddhism."
"God of Cars, isn't that suppressing evil spirits?"
The God of Cars is called the Ghost King in some areas, similar to Zhong Kui in the Central Plains.
On the right is a circular pavilion, in the shape of a bell pavilion, with a shocking top shape. A golden boy stands in the center, pointing to the sky and the ground, surrounded by five colorful dragons, and two gorgeous dragons on both sides.
of phoenix.
When Xu Hui saw this scene, he blurted out: "Prince Buddha?"
The Buddha Prince is the son of the god Buddha. This originates from the Buddhist legend "The Prince Buddha Bathed in Nine Dragons". It is said that the Buddha has the magical power to control dragons since he was born.
Fan Bochang is not an ignorant person: "Since he is the prince of Buddha, why is he surrounded by five dragons and two phoenixes instead of nine dragons?"
As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Lingluo gently, hoping that she could clear up his doubts.
Zhang Lingluo smiled lightly: "Who knows whether it is Nine Dragons or Five Dragons and Two Phoenixes?"
These words immediately reminded everyone that this place is more ancient, and perhaps the five dragons and two phoenixes surrounding him are the true form of the Buddha's prince.
Come to the main hall, which is shaped like an altar. There is this four-sided statue sitting on the top of the hall. The four-sided statues have different appearances. Some are compassionate white jade, with lotus seals on their hands, some are upright and majestic, holding a pestle for subduing demons, or they are full of joy and hold it in both hands.
Seal...
Even Zhang Lingluo, who has extensive knowledge of ancient times and modern times, would not know the origin of this statue.
Lan Binghan walked over, and the jade bead in his hand rang very brightly in the dark night, which was the trace of the existence of divine objects from heaven and earth.
Xu Hui asked: "Envoy Lan, are you sure?"
Lan Binghan responded: "I have been waiting here and don't dare to act without authorization."
Zhang Lingluo looked at the three holy statues and had a bad premonition in her heart. She said softly: "Please invite Master Tianxin and Master Zhengjue to come over. Buddhism and Buddhism have the same origin. Maybe they can gain insight into more information.
"
Lan Binghan said: "I'm going!"
Everyone was waiting at the door of the altar hall for the arrival of the two Buddhist monks. After a while, Jiufang Changjing couldn't bear the urge to find out: "What's there to be afraid of? I'll kill all the gods and demons!"
Jiufang Changjing said what he said outside, and he did have the confidence to do so, but in this fairy and demon formation, after meeting the Demon King, the demon is not coquettish, the demon is not vicious, and the god is a lofty existence.
Fan Bo often shouted: "Martial Saint!"
Jiufang Changjing had already strode into the altar hall, and the others had no choice but to follow.
As soon as I crossed the entrance of the hall, I was stunned by what I saw. The Jiufang Longwhale who was the first to enter was also stunned on the spot.
I saw hundreds of skeletons sitting cross-legged in the vast hall. Strictly speaking, they should be hundreds of corpses. The clothes on them had long been weathered, but the flesh was shriveled.
There are beads hanging around their necks, so it can be concluded that they are monks.
These hundreds of torso corpses all have Dharma seals on their hands, as if they were sitting on the ground. The ground is covered with scripture patterns, and the golden light shines under the firelight, just like the traces of gold paint.
Its tragic and solemn character makes people feel strongly that they are dealing with something powerful.
They surrounded a strange stone with scripture patterns on it, but it looked natural without any trace of carving.
Soon everyone focused their attention on one of the corpses. The other corpses had their hands tied with magic seals. Only this corpse held a law enforcement staff and pressed it against the stone, as if casting a spell on the stone.
Everyone's eyes fell on this staff that exuded a sacred aura. It was obviously this staff that made the Relic Jade Pearl ring brightly.
Fan Bo often trembled: "Is this the Heavenly Master's order?"
The only understanding of the Heavenly Master's Order is an ancestral precept passed down from generation to generation by Taoist sects - With the Heavenly Master's Order in hand, all disciples of our Taoist sect must obey its instructions, and those who violate it will be regarded as disobedient and will be punished together.
As for what the Celestial Master Ling looks like, no one knows, and there is no description of the Celestial Master Ling in the Taoist history.
Xu Hui responded: "I don't think it looks like it, it's more like a Buddhist artifact."
Jiufang Longjing said loudly: "Take it and study it and you will know."
Sun Moon Star quickly stopped: "Martial Saint, no, this is obviously a magic circle, used to suppress something extremely powerful."
At this time, Master Tianxin and Master Zhengjue arrived. Seeing the scene in front of them, they lowered their eyes solemnly and recited a Buddha's name.
Fan Bo often asked: "Master Tianxin, what can you see?"
Master Tianxin saw the mummies sitting cross-legged and making magic seals with their hands, and the ground was covered with scripture patterns. He said softly: "This should be a magic circle."
"Magic circle? What magic circle?"
Master Zhengjue had already come closer to study the scripture patterns in a low voice. He turned to Master Tianxin and said, "These scripture patterns are painted by the blood of eminent monks and will never change."
After hearing Master Zhengjue's words, Master Tianxin responded: "It must be an extremely powerful magic circle that can allow eminent monks to consume their essence and blood."
Zhang Lingluo asked: "Master Tianxin, as the leader of the Shi Sect, can you recognize this formation?"
Master Tianxin said: "I don't know this scripture pattern, but Buddhism and the gods and Buddhas have the same origin. Let me and Master Zhengjue identify it carefully."
"But you still need to stay aside to avoid destroying this magic circle and causing any bad things."
Everyone nodded.
Master Tianxin and Master Zhengjue observed along the periphery, not even daring to reach out and touch the scripture patterns on the ground.
One observed where the hundreds of monks were sitting, and the other studied the scripture patterns on the ground.
Master Zhengjue said: "This should be a great circle."
Fan Bo often asked: "Master Zhengjue, what is the Great Realm Array?"
"The Great Realm refers to the unity of human beings and Dharma. Rentong means the unity of monks. Dharma unity means the nineteen kinds of worlds such as mountains, rivers, forests, and rocks."
"The big boundary is as wide as ten miles or even a hundred miles. Obviously we are already within the boundary at this moment."
Elder Wu asked: "What do you mean?"
Master Zhengjue explains in a layman’s terms: “Sometimes when we walk into a place, we can’t get out no matter what. It is commonly known as a ghost beating a wall, but it actually means we are within the great realm.”
