Chapter Fifteen: The Heaven Is Dead and the Yellow Heaven Stands Up
Chapter 15: Heaven is dead and Huang Tiandang takes over
This tunnel is very different from the previous Kenan tunnel. Sun Wucai already discovered this as soon as he jumped down.26nbsp;
The previous tunnel to overcome difficulties was excavated urgently by Xiao Shang using magic weapons. Not only was the space small and could only be crawled, but the distance was also very short. From time to time, the Ruyi King Kong Circle was used to connect other tunnels. However, although the space of the current tunnel is also narrow,
There was still a stench, but after walking a few feet, the footing was extremely slippery, and the tunnel was still going straight down. Sun Wu almost immediately slipped and slid down the steep slope.
The tunnel like a slide, this kind of slope design, and the special paint that smoothes the slope are definitely not something that was made in a hurry, and it is definitely not something that Lu Feiyang just dug out. Considering that the top of the tunnel
Due to the condition of the wall, Sun Wu even suspected that this tunnel was hundreds of years old, perhaps more than a thousand years old, because there were many incomprehensible words and totems painted on the top of the tunnel. Judging from the style, they should be legends in Buddhist scriptures.
The stories and those words are some kind of scriptures. In other words, this is the original historic secret passage of Cihang Jingdian.
The purpose of tunnels is to escape and avoid disaster, but why are murals painted along the way of an escape tunnel? This is really an incredible thing. Could it be that the refugees are still in the mood to appreciate the mural scenery?
Sun Wu felt very strange, but compared to this problem, he was more worried about Xiao Shang's condition. This tunnel was filthy, and it was sliding at high speed. Xiao Shang's body was delicate and delicate, so be sure not to get hurt.
"Xiao Shang, how are you doing there?"
The vision in the tunnel was dim, and while gliding at high speed, an opening opened, and the foul smell poured in. The feeling was really bad. Sun Wu endured and shouted again, but did not hear Xiao Shang's voice. Instead, he heard the fragrance coming from far behind him.
Ling's call.
"Master, how are you doing over there? Are you okay?"
"Well, Xiangling, I didn't..."
In response, Sun Wu's voice suddenly stopped, and the murals above the tunnel changed. From the original vague totems and scriptures, they turned into human shapes, and they were all naked male figures.
There was also an arrow drawn in red on the skin, with words written next to it. Although it was only a glimpse, Sun Wu recognized it at a glance. It was undoubtedly the martial arts secret book of Cihang Jingdian, and it was the golden bell cover.
Dharma door.
"Is this... the secret to the seventh level of the Golden Bell? But how can there be only one? It's too few, and why is it here?" It's not just one, there are similar humanoid images one after another.
, but each one was inconsistent and seemed to be different from the same martial arts. In addition, the time he saw it was too short. Sun Wu could only vaguely remember a rough impression. When he tried hard to remember these things, the dark space ahead
But suddenly there was a light, and there was a fork in the tunnel. He roughly saw Xiao Shang's figure from the entrance on the left. He quickly kicked to the right and entered the fork on the left. However, after just a few seconds, he slipped out of the secret passage.
, came to a building.
As he rushed out while gliding at high speed, Sun Wu screamed in his heart, fearing that he would hit something, and even more afraid of hitting Xiao Shang, because she was in front of him, and if he was not careful, he would easily hit her.
"who?"
"be careful!"
"Ugh, it smells so bad!"
The situation was indeed bad, and before he could see the surroundings clearly, Sun Wu saw seven or eight monks standing in front of him, and all of them were monks holding sticks to protect the temple. They seemed to be guarding against something. What was worse was that he could not stabilize himself. Although he was already trying to stabilize his body, he still rushed straight towards that side. He only heard a series of exclamations. When Sun Wu stood up, four unconscious monks fell on the ground, and the remaining The next four were shocked and angry, and just about to attack him, they suddenly fainted and foamed at the mouth, revealing Xiao Shang who had fired the poison needle behind them.
"You settle half of the issues, and I do half of them. Perfect cooperation. You are truly my best friend."
"This is not cooperation, it is an accident! It is an accident!"
Sun Wu refuted loudly and found that the place where he and Xiao Shang were was seemed to be a domed spire. These monks were originally guarding the closed door, but he and Xiao Shang broke through the secret door in the wall. When he came out, he fell into a ball inexplicably.
The situation was in a mess. Sun Wu wanted to take Xiao Shang away as soon as possible, but a monk with a broken bone on the ground grabbed him hard and said that now was an important time to appoint the leader, and he must not be allowed to go upstairs to destroy it. These words made him Sun Wu was greatly surprised, because Abbot Kucha had clearly entrusted him to take over as the leader, so why would another new leader take the throne? Could it be that there was some unexpected change?
"He was usurped before he succeeded to the throne. Xiao Wu is indeed a great man. Everything he does is so turbulent and turbulent."
"...If you want to say that I am unlucky, just say it directly, there is no need to beat around the bush."
Wanting to find out what was going on, Sun Wu hurriedly rushed upstairs. There were more than a dozen old monks in cassocks in the hall upstairs. They were all at the head of each hall and courtyard of Cihangjing Hall. They had already heard the commotion downstairs. Luan was about to go downstairs to take a look when he happened to meet Sun Wu who rushed upstairs and looked at each other in astonishment.
"You...how did you run out? Where is Ren Youyou?"
"Capture him first!"
Capturing people seemed to be the consensus of all the eminent monks. Sun Wu realized that there was a tough battle to be fought, but suddenly two round objects were thrown out from behind him. In an instant, a blindingly intense light shot out. No one present could see clearly, and the thick and pungent smoke filled the entire hall, allowing Sun Wu to get cover and rush forward without looking back.
Covered by strong light and smoke, the young man broke out from the search of more than a dozen eminent monks and rushed towards the door. The moment he crossed the threshold, Sun Wu suddenly tripped and kicked the threshold, accidentally colliding with something. Full of heart.
"Oh, it hurts so much."
Shouting in pain, the young man stood up and suddenly found that the sun was glaring above him. He was already outside. The place he was standing on was not the land, but a balcony. There was a white railing in front of him, and between the white railings Below was a large square, and above that large square... there were tens of thousands of people, a large, dark mass, who were in an uproar when they saw their strange appearance.
"Who is that?"
"Why a layman? Is it a mistake?"
"What happened? Can anyone come out and give me an explanation?"
In an instant, the sound wave covered the sky and the earth. Sun Wu was startled by this unexpected situation. He couldn't help but take a step back and stumbled on his feet. Only then did he realize that he was stepping on someone.
He opened his eyes wide and saw that the man at his feet was a monk. His eyes turned white and he fainted. It was probably at the moment when he broke through the door and fell out, he was hit by the cannon-like impact and lost it like this. Consciousness is stepped on by others.
"Ah, I'm sorry!"
Sun Wu quickly took a step back from the man, but almost tripped over something. He quickly stood up, picked up the foreign object stuck at the bottom of his foot, and found that it was a cane carved from jasper, about one foot long. The tentacles were warm, and there were jade rings on all sides. When he picked it up, it rustled in the wind. It was very clear and pleasant. Sun Wu was fascinated by the sound and instinctively lifted it up, wanting to hear more of the crisp sound of the jade rings blown by the wind.
This jasper staff was held by the monk who fainted on the ground. Because he lost consciousness, he let go. Sun Wu soon thought of this and wanted to return the jasper staff and wake him up to apologize, but suddenly Found a strange thing.
I don’t know when the deafening uproar stopped. Thousands of people in the square, who were originally excited and making loud noises, suddenly became silent. The surroundings became dead silent. Apart from the sound of wind and breathing, there was no sound. The slightest sound was made, as if the thousands of people disappeared in an instant, and the strange silence was so quiet that it made people feel frightened.
Sun Wu moved his gaze to the square, only to see thousands of pairs of eyes below, also looking at him, at himself, and at the jade staff in his hand, and then, there was a hoarse wailing sound that was almost like a groan. , tore apart this uncomfortable silence.
"Yes...it's the leader's jade staff."
The sound was not loud, but due to the silence around him, the wail was clearly audible and reached the ears of all the people present. Sun Wu found the man easily and found that the man was just an ordinary common man, not a monk, and The tens of thousands of people in the square were made up of a very complex group of people, including monks, civil and military officials, and ordinary people. Some of them were even wearing work clothes. It seemed that something big had happened, causing these people to put down their work and hurriedly When we came over, everyone looked sad and frightened.
Looking back, I saw that there was a mountain behind this building. Judging from the location, I should have left Cihang Main Hospital, or a building on the outermost edge of the main hospital. The section of the tunnel just now had a landslide, and it took a considerable distance. , actually let himself go from the top of the mountain to the mountainside, maybe even the foot of the mountain.
After that wailing, the crowd in the square woke up from a dream and began to make noise again. In the commotion, Sun Wu captured a few sentences.
"...After the death knell rings, the new abbot will appear on the fire platform, accept the greetings of the monks in the temple, and lead the entire temple in praying for the previous head. This is the temple rule that has remained unchanged for thousands of years in Cihang Jingdian. But how could the position of head abbot be passed on to a lay disciple?"
"Although he is a lay boy, he does hold a jade staff and is wearing a golden robe. He is the new head of Cihangjing Palace!"
"He is so young, does anyone know who he is?"
The noise from the audience was very confusing, but Sun Wu still roughly understood the meaning. He looked at the jasper staff in his hand, and then looked at the clothes on his body... very good, indeed dyed with a layer of golden color. ', Looking up from the square, it looks like a golden robe.
It seems that Cihang Jingdian has a rule. After the death of the leader, the death bell will be sounded to inform the monks of the temple and the cities at the foot of the mountain. Then when the "tide" of people gathers, under the witness of hundreds of officials and people,
, the new head appeared on this balcony, accepted the greetings from monks and believers, and led everyone in prayer.
Abbot Kucha passed away, and most of the elders in various churches were unwilling to accept his last words, so they kept the news of his death secret and held high-level meetings. Unexpectedly, the death knell was suddenly sounded, and matters that had not yet been discussed were revealed in advance.
Open, I had no choice but to send an elder to hold a jasper staff to go up to the fire platform, that is, the victim who was knocked unconscious by me... Well, the orange monk robe is not a gold robe, it seems
He probably wasn't sent as acting head, but just held a jade staff to announce things.
In other words, I was just trying to escape, but accidentally got pushed into the position of leader. Although all this seemed to be a coincidence, there were too many coincidences, which made me feel that there was an element of artificial design.
Especially when Xiao Shang is also involved, things usually don't happen by coincidence.
The problem is, no matter whose instigation or design it is to push yourself to the position of leader, even though you are standing on this fire platform, there are still a large group of old monks behind you who are opposed to Abbot Kucha's deathbed resignation.
, as long as these people continue to oppose, they can pull themselves down at any time and explain to the outside world that it is a misunderstanding. Although this will arouse people's ridicule, it is better than letting a stranger be the leader.
This concern is by no means unfounded. I have already felt that there is a strong pressure coming from behind me. The elders and monks who dispersed the dense fog stepped out of the room one after another and came to the balcony together. The first seats of each hall and courtyard
Appearing as if to support the new abbot, the crowd in the square cheered loudly, but Sun Wu knew that what they were going to do next was either to pull him back or to kick him off the square, with that kind of strong anger
It was as real as hostility, causing the whole back to throb.
The situation was tense for a while, but when the leaders of each hall and courtyard stood behind Sun Wu like a mantis stalking a cicada, another group of oriole also appeared at the right time. Suddenly, a big hole was revealed on the wall of the second floor, Xiangling, Lu.
Feiyang, Chiba, Ren Xianyou, and a few companions from the town, seven or eight people slid down from the tunnel exit on the wall. As soon as they appeared, they lined up skillfully in a line like a well-trained army.
, take a step forward.
No matter the angle or position, it was impossible for the crowd in the square to see these people, but Sun Wu clearly noticed their arrival, and they even did something incredible.
