The deep blue sky connects the snowy tops of the mountains, lingering down, forming a vast plateau.
In the wilderness, mounds and stone forests stand tall.
Blockhouse-like stone blockhouses stand against the stone mountain.
From the tops of the four sides of the tower, black, white or red sutra curtains hang down, with gold paint used to outline characters that look like snakes and insects.
A stone wall stands across the front of many tower houses, dividing the inside and outside of the stone wall into two worlds.
In the middle of the stone wall, there is a mountain gate.
The stone steps winding down from the mountain become the tongue sticking out of the mountain gate.
Bang!
The two guarding monks behind him worked together to lock the two giant doors. The sound of the giant doors colliding 'awoke' 'Zhuojie'.
‘Zhuojie’’s eyes gradually became clearer as he looked at the various monastery and meditation rooms inside the mountain gate.
Walking in front, the skinny Guangfa turned to look at 'Zhuojie' and saw that he was still stunned in place, and shouted: "Tianhai, why are you still stunned there?
Come up quickly!"
"Ah, yes!"
The name was Tianhai, Zhuo Jie, disguised as Su Wu, responded, and under the gaze of Guang Fa, he lowered his head and followed.
"Why do you feel like you're a different person?" Guangfa frowned and looked at Su Wu, who was walking with his head lowered.
When Su Wu heard this, he deliberately made a panicked expression: "Ah? I was standing here just now, how could I suddenly look like a different person?"
Guangfa stared at the panicked Su Wu for several seconds.
He nodded, turned around and walked forward: "I was wrong. I thought you had some realization just now, and you felt much calmer in an instant.
Looking at it now, he is still a young boy."
Su Wu followed Zhuo Jie but did not answer.
When he first entered the Sims, he had not yet assumed the role of 'Zhuo Jie', so his original temperament was revealed. No wonder Guangfa would say so.
But, having said that,
Guangfa can instantly realize that he is different from before, as if he is a different person. This shows that his perception is sharp and he can see subtle things.
The last time I entered the simulation of ‘Zhuojie’s Past Life’, I was confused about everything.
Unlike now, I have experienced several strange events, tolerated the strangeness, and my mentality is naturally very different from the last time.
"I'll take you to the Discipline Academy first to record the Dharma title.
Then someone will take you to receive ordination, and then you just do what the guiding monk tells you." Standing at the door of a monastery, Guangfa pointed to the three characters carved on the stone wall above the monastery and said to Su Wu.
Those three characters, like snakes and insects crawling, should be the three characters "Discipline Academy" in the native characters of the secret area.
"It all depends on the master's arrangements." Su Wu nodded in agreement.
The two of them walked into the monastic discipline courtyard one after the other.
On the way, you can see many monks wearing cockscomb hats and dark yellow robes. When they saw Guangfa striding towards him, they all stopped on the roadside to salute.
He is known as ‘Uncle Lawyer’.
Su Wu guessed that the word "precepts" in front of this title should refer to Guangfa's position in Wuxiang Zunneng Temple.
It should mainly focus on mastering the precepts in the Dharma Temple and doing things that reward good deeds and punish bad deeds.
——This general conclusion can be drawn from the respectful and fearful expressions of those yellow-robed monks when facing Guangfa.
There are not many monks walking back and forth in the monastery.
Seven or eight out of ten were wearing yellow monk robes.
Occasionally, I saw one or two monks wearing red coats and yellow monk robes, with strings of beads hanging from the cockscomb hats on their heads, and a string of chicken fat-colored star and moon bodhi hanging around their necks. They passed by Guangfa. Su Wu would also stop beside him.
Put your hands together and salute.
Among them, the elders are mostly comparable to their peers in Guangfa.
The younger ones still call Guangfa uncle.
When they faced Guangfa, their expressions were still respectful, but they were no longer as nervous as those yellow-robed monks.
"The red-robed monk has a higher status than the yellow-robed monk, but still not as high as Guangfa. When Guangfa passes by these monks, they all have to stop and salute.
However, Guangfa raised his head high and didn't even return the courtesy."
Su Wu wrote down this detail.
Guangfa led Su Wu forward,
Walking aggressively,
Gradually we approached the deepest part of the Zen monastery.
Sutras on both sides surround a Buddhist hall in the middle.
The Buddhist hall has three doors.
Only the left hall door is open, while the middle and right hall doors are closed and locked. Waves of fragrant and sweet aroma waft out from the Buddhist hall.
That's the smell of incense.
Different from ordinary incense, the Tibetan incense in the secret area has always been famous far and wide. When you meditate and sit down, light one and smell the aroma, which seems to cleanse your soul.
——In fact, it is all the psychological effect of oneself.
Smelling too much of this aroma can be harmful to the human body.
At this time,
Guangfa, who was walking in front, stopped.
A pot-bellied monk in red robes walked out of the side door of the Buddhist hall. He had a round face and no cockscomb hat on his head, showing a layer of fine hair.
The monk walked down the steps of the temple,
Master Guangfa in front of Su Wu put his hands together and bowed in salute: "Brother, Dean Dong."
Finally, a monk appeared who could allow Guangfa to perform the walking ceremony.
This monk’s position is the elder of the East Dean.
Could it be that the east courtyard is the Discipline Academy?
The elders who control an entire discipline academy?
So, could this elder from the East Dean be one of the two elders who 'invited' Guangfa out of Wuxiang Zunneng Temple?
Thoughts were swirling in his mind, but Su Wu's hand movements were not slow at all.
He then bowed and saluted.
Because he has not officially entered the Dharma Temple and has not been registered as a Dharma name, Su Wu is not yet a formal disciple of Wuxiang Zunneng Temple, and he does not know how to address this ‘Elder of the East Dean’ who is walking towards him.
He would simply salute and not address him.
"Guangfa,
The Venerable has not yet passed away and reincarnated, and is still dying.
It's the right time for you to come back now." The elder of Dongyuan with a big belly and a round face walked up to Guangfa and said a few words expressionlessly, "However, the matter of the reincarnated soul boy has been settled.
deal.
Follow the law and don’t stir up disputes.”
"How could this be?" Guangfa raised his head and looked at the elder of the East Dean, his eyes frightened and angry.
“We are no longer obsessed with asking His Holiness to be reincarnated into the home of the ‘Pazora Hutuktu Nobles’;
The Venerable also gave up reincarnation and entered the home of Changyun Zongben.
After the Venerable passes away, his reincarnated soul boy will appear near the waters of the ‘Xiong Lake’ in the southwest of the secret area.” The elder of the East Campus said this.
Su Wu's mind was filled with confusion after hearing his words.
What is the ‘Pazzola Hutuktu Nobility’?
What does ‘Changyun Zongben’ mean?
What's the difference between the two?
It seems that in addition to the forces of the monasteries and monasteries, there are at least two major forces in the secret area: the great nobles and the sect.
After leaving the simulation this time, I need to refresh myself on the history, culture and other knowledge of the Hidden Area in various aspects, so as to avoid being confused like I am now.
After hearing the words of the elder of the East Dean, Guangfa calmed down.
With a cold face, he turned to Su Wu and said, "Tianhai, go to the Buddhist hall in front and ask the monks to record the name of the Dharma for you and receive the ordination."
Although Su Wu still wanted to know more about the dispute over the power succession of the 'Wuxiang Zunneng Temple' to see if there was any opportunity of his own.
But the master had given the order, and his disciple had no choice but to obey. He nodded in agreement, lowered his head and walked towards the Buddhist hall in front of which the sweet fragrance was constantly wafting.
Guangfa's voice sounded behind him: "Brother Dean Dong, I would like to see His Holiness, and I would like to ask Brother Dong to introduce him to you."
"Can."
The two of them left together.
Su Wu stepped into the Buddhist hall.
In the Buddhist hall, green incense curls up and the fragrance floats.
Several yellow-robed monks were cleaning the incense table and sweeping the floor with brooms, rags and other supplies.
A statue of a god is facing the entrance of the hall.
It was shrouded in darkness. It was not until Su Wu stepped into the Buddhist hall that he saw the true appearance of the statue: the statue had a bird's head and a human body, with a pair of golden wings spread out behind it, and its four arms might be holding a bloody bull's head;
or clutching a bone bowl made like a human skull;
Or lifting a skeleton;
Or holding up a bloody red lotus flower.
The statue has three talon-like feet, stepping on a piece of leather. The leather looks like a tiger skin, with interlaced patterns and colorful patterns.
But what is connected to the tiger skin's neck is not the tiger's head.
But a woman's head!
The woman's hair was long and disheveled, and she was placed facing the palace door. Her eyes would blink from time to time, and she would occasionally open her mouth to nibble on the fruits offered in front of her.
Seeing Su Wu looking at her, she even gave Su Wu a wink!
--What is this?
Su Wu was surprised.
In this Buddhist hall, he didn't feel any strange charm lingering, and he didn't notice anything unusual from the woman's head with a piece of colorful tiger skin attached to it.
But the scene he saw now was clearly extremely strange.
Not to mention the still-living woman’s head placed at the foot of the bird-headed three-legged statue, let’s just talk about what the statue is holding in its four hands:
The bull's head kept dripping blood and fell into the large vat next to the incense table. Most of the vat's blood had already been accumulated - but how could such a large amount of blood flow out of just a cow's head?
Human skull bowls, skeletons, etc., after Su Wu had a brief understanding of Buddhism in the Vajrayana Realm, he knew that this kind of thing was a routine operation in the Vajrayana Realm, so it was not surprising.
The second thing that made Su Wu feel scary and weird,
It is a bloody lotus held up by a bird-headed and three-legged statue.
This lotus keeps emitting blood-red light like breathing,
Take a closer look,
The thing in the middle of the lotus is still squirming like a living thing, and there seems to be a deep portal inside!
——The bird-headed statue itself is just a clay statue.
What’s really weird is the four things it tramples under its feet and holds in its hands!
The Hidden Realm is a bit evil to begin with, and with the weird situation everywhere now, we can't take it lightly just because we are at a safe save point.
Su Wu glanced at several yellow-robed monks in the Buddhist hall.
Just as he was about to ask the monk in front about the recording of Dharma names and the ordination of ordination, a yellow-robed monk who was wiping the incense table came over, bowed to Su Wu and said: "Uncle's disciple of the preceptor, please follow me.
Come and record the Dharma name."
"Okay." Su Wu bowed in return.
Followed behind the handsome yellow-robed monk.
Under the guidance of the yellow-robed monk, Su Wu walked around the bird-headed statue and walked into the small door behind the statue.
The light all around suddenly dimmed,
In the room behind the small door, there was a red-robed monk sitting cross-legged on the Zen bed. His face was wrinkled and his skin was as loose as chicken skin. He was extremely old.
Seeing the yellow-robed monk leading Su Wu in,
The old monk didn't even raise his eyelids and asked slowly: "What is the name of the Dharma?"
The yellow-robed monk looked at Su Wu,
Su Wu immediately understood, took a step forward, bowed and saluted in a formal manner: "Master Guangfa gave me the name of Dharma, 'Tianhai'."
"oh,
Tianhai."
The old monk nodded and wrote the word "天海" in red on the book on the table in front of him.
Then, he laboriously dragged a wooden box behind the Zen bed.
Su Wu wanted to go up to help, but the yellow-robed monk stopped him and stopped him with his eyes.
I saw the old monk opening the box and revealing several items inside.
A gilt silver human skull bowl inlaid with precious stones,
One turn of the prayer wheel,
A round iron box covered with a thick layer of incense ash.
The old monk erected the prayer wheel. The pictures and texts wrapped on the prayer wheel were not the usual 'Six-character Great Ming Mantra', but six patterns including a flower crown, a bull's head, a human figure, and a skull.
"Tianhai,
Recite the six-character Great Ming Mantra and turn the prayer tube."
This is what the old monk ordered.
"Om mani padme hum..." Su Wu also learned some common sense about esoteric Buddhism, and naturally knew what the six-character Great Ming Mantra was.
As soon as I heard the words, I kept reciting them,
At the same time, his palm touched the prayer wheel and pushed it.
call!
The prayer wheel rotated in an instant,
Su Wu touched the prayer wheel with his palm, and suddenly felt that as the prayer wheel rotated, his consciousness also dived into the tube, and he saw a kaleidoscope-like bizarre scene!
Those kinds of pictures are difficult to describe in words.
It only lasted a moment, and then they all disappeared without a trace.
The prayer wheel stopped rotating.
One pattern is facing Su Wu - it is the corolla pattern in the six pictures.
"Oh." The old monk also took a look at the pattern, nodded, and pushed the round iron box covered with a thick layer of incense ash in front of Su Wu, "Put your left palm print on it."
By this time,
Su Wu had determined that the old monk was conducting a 'comment' for himself.
He currently bears the identity of 'Zhuo Jie'. In the simulation, although his consciousness is his own, his destiny is still that of Zhuo Jie.
The final result of the batch of instructions will naturally belong to Zhuo Jie.
What step did Zhuo Jie finally reach?
Why can the hole made by his hand bones tear apart the shadow and turn it into the 'hand of the corpse ghost'?
The answers to these questions may be found in his words of criticism.
Su Wu was not eager to ‘give orders’ for himself.
He can also give up this archive and relive the Sims life from the place where Zhuo Jie started to escape. At that time, he can personally experience the simulation, take on Zhuo Jie's identity, and 'mandate' his true self.
There is always a way to go.
After going through the batch process, you can even sell this process to the simulator to earn Yuan Yu.
Following the old monk's instructions, Su Wu pressed his palm on the layer of incense ash, leaving a palm print.
Subsequently,
The old monk poured the entire incense ash in the iron box into the human skull bowl.
He closed the bone bowl, took out a black felt cloth, spread it on the table, and then began to shake the bone bowl, spitting out unclear syllables.
Even if Su Wu concentrated his ears to listen,
I can't even hear what he was thinking.
It would be great if this set of instructions could be brought into reality.
There are some imperceptible holes at the bottom of the bone bowl. As the old monk continues to shake the bone bowl, the incense ash falls from it and onto the dark felt cloth, gradually forming some messy lines that seem to contain some kind of message.
"The destiny is hidden in the spirit." The old monk said as he put down the bone bowl and looked at the pattern on the incense ashes.
