Zhuang Yunjing held her cheek in hand and thought for a moment, and finally said helplessly: "Originally, I planned to beat this big drum, but this drum clearly doesn't even have a cover on the drum, how can it make a sound?"
Kong Fang laughed when he heard this and said: "The ancient sages built this stone drum, and it must not have been originally used for knocking. Besides, it is such a huge thing. I am afraid that no living creature's leather in the world can cover it."
Zhuang Wanjing curled her lips and said disapprovingly: "Who said that stone drums must not be beaten? Just like the 'poisonous tambourine demon' from Jingyu Cult, whose soul-soothing stone drum is a powerful weapon to defeat the enemy?"
Kong Fang was about to explain that he was not referring to all stone drums, but he endured it after a second thought and nodded instead: "What you said reminded me that the soul-suppressing stone drum is covered with the skin of the alien beast Xuanting."
, so if you really want to beat this stone drum, you will probably have to go to the demon world to kill Chaos."
The joke was meant to make the beauty laugh, but Zhuang Wanjing sighed after hearing it and said: "Brother Kong, this is a good idea, but even if my ancestors are resurrected, the Taoist sword that can restrain the demon king, the Demon-Sealing Order, has long since dispersed.
, Chaos can no longer be dealt with."
Kong Fang was startled. Zhuang Yunjing saw that he had a strange look on his face, so she coughed lightly and said: "You are so strange and powerful. Brother Kong naturally doesn't believe these anecdotes. The little girl is not asking for trouble. We just
Could you please tell me how to sound this stone drum?"
Kong Fang heard that Yu Yuanjing still insisted on beating the stone drum. He felt that he couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. He thought about it and said: "I'm afraid it won't be done overnight. It's better to brainstorm in the future. Maybe there will be a solution."
Zhuang Wanjing pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked: "May I ask Brother Kong, how do you interpret the word 'Leiyin'?"
Kong Fang was startled when he heard the words, paused for a moment and then mused: "The full name of 'Leiyin' is 'Tiangu Leiyin'. It is one of the five Buddhas in the womb realm. It lives on the leaf in the north of Zhongtai Bayeyuan.
, forming the Ding Seal of the Vajra Division, mastering the virtue of the Great Nirvana.”
"In addition, when the Buddhas preach the Dharma, the sound is as loud as thunder, which can also be called the sound of thunder. Many of the Dharma propagation sites in the Liang Dynasty are named Leiyin Temple, which also means the inheritance of the true lineage of the Western Heaven Buddhist Kingdom."
Zhuang Wanjing's clear eyes sparkled, and she said with admiration: "Brother Kong is indeed very knowledgeable about the Buddhist family. He is really a great man who has learned all three religions. This little girl sincerely admires him."
Kong Fangjun's face turned red and he said sarcastically: "I just dabbled in it. It all depends on the supervision of my tutor."
Zhuang Wanjing had a look of surprise on her face, and then said: "So that's it. I don't know which martial arts senior your master is. Brother Kong, can you tell me frankly?"
Kong Fang seemed to hesitate and said in a dilemma: "My master once asked me not to reveal his origin without authorization, so I ask for your forgiveness, girl."
Zhuang Wanjing was slightly disappointed, but after a second thought, she felt relieved and said: "It doesn't matter. In short, your teacher is definitely a scholar. So, has he ever taught Brother Kong Sanskrit?"
Kong Fang frowned and said hesitantly: "That's not true. Why does the girl ask this?"
Zhuang Yunjing smiled mysteriously and said leisurely: "So, among the two companions of Brother Kong, are any of them proficient in Sanskrit?"
Kong Fang's heart was moved, he nodded slightly and said, "My mistress has studied Buddhism diligently and is very proficient in Sanskrit. My little sister has always been close to my mistress, so I don't know whether she has learned Sanskrit before."
Zhuang Wanjing's guess was confirmed, and she said with joy: "As expected, we still have to beat the drum."
Kong Fang didn't know what was going on. He wanted to ask questions but was worried about showing his timidity in front of the beautiful woman. He was very embarrassed for a moment.
Zhuang Wanjing looked at it clearly, and quickly adjusted her expression and said: "Brother Kong, please forgive me, I was too happy just now, I was a little carried away with my pride, ahem...Brother Kong, see what's strange about this stone platform?"
Kong Fang observed carefully for a while as he was told, but found nothing. Seeing this, Zhuang Yunjing no longer held back, walked directly to the side of the stone drum, stretched out her palm and patted the outer wall of the stone platform and said: "Brother Kong, please verify, this is
Hollow?”
Kong Fang secretly felt ashamed. He had only paid attention to the stone drum before, but Zhuang Yunjing had not even explored the stone platform.
After being impressed, he stepped forward to inspect it carefully. After a while, he finally heard Kong Fang exclaim: "Yes, it is indeed hollow here."
Zhuang Yunjing nodded and said: "It seems that there must be secrets under this stone drum, and I will forgive my young lady for boldly guessing that Brother Kong's two companions have probably entered it."
At this moment, Kong Fang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows sharply, and he quickly asked: "Is this girl true? Is there any evidence?"
Zhuang Yuanjing said confidently: "The little girl's eyes are different. She has always been the best at identifying the smallest details. The outer wall of the stone platform here is offset and there are traces of movement. It seems that it should be a portal."
Kong Fang was even more surprised. He coughed while thinking: "The outer wall of this stone platform is extremely thick, three feet long. It is impossible to break through it by force. But since the girl said this is a portal, does it have to be opened by a mechanism?
?”
Zhuang Yunjing said approvingly: "Brother Kong is really smart. The expert who gave me advice once said that you must beat this drum to enter it. It's just that we have to experiment with which method to beat."
Kong Fang was so blessed that he blurted out softly: "Could it be related to these words?"
Zhuang Wanjing smiled and said: "The heroes have the same idea. According to the little girl's opinion, there should be a eulogy or secret mantra hidden in these words, and most of them are related to the word 'Thunder Sound'. As long as the corresponding Sanskrit words are tapped in sequence,
, it will be possible to open the mechanism."
Kong Fang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "This inference is not unreasonable. It's a pity that the girl didn't know about these difficulties before she came up. And neither you nor I can read Sanskrit. We have to find it in this dense text."
The incantation is as difficult as reaching heaven."
Zhuang Yunjing raised her beautiful eyebrows and said with a chuckle: "It was originally going to be as difficult as climbing to the sky. Fortunately, God showed mercy on my hard work and let Brother Kong's companions solve the puzzle first, so that we can proceed step by step."
Kong Fang was startled and said: "Girl is so confident, could there be other discoveries?"
Zhuang Wanjing nodded slightly and said: "This stone drum is newly covered with frost and snow, and the water stains have not yet dried out. Brother Kong's companions will naturally leave traces when they touch it. The little girl can identify it clearly."
Kong Fang perked up and immediately said: "The only problem left is the order of the words. I wonder how many words can the girl recognize?"
Zhuang Yunjing made a gesture and said: "There are five characters in total, and the directions have been memorized, but the little girl has never known anything about mathematics, so I can only rely on Brother Kong."
Kong Fang smiled casually and said: "The six arts of Confucianism are etiquette, music, archery, chastity, calligraphy, and numeracy. Although the art I specialize in is not 'numeral', I can still barely cope with it. In five words, it totals
There are one hundred and twenty changes, so we have to work hard."
Zhuang Wanjing's beautiful eyes were filled with joy. She deeply bowed her hands and said politely: "It is really a blessing for this little girl to have Brother Kong help me."
Kong Fang hurriedly returned the gift with his hand, but he felt something in his heart. If the word "help" was slightly changed, wouldn't it be...ahem...don't think it's disrespectful.
