Through the influence of the Punjabi animal spirits, Jonah saw that Ye Kong wanted to rebel from the Maha Prajna Temple during the civil war in Buddhism. At the moment when the southerners cut off the brotherhood with their swords and fought against the ancestral tower, the astrologer suddenly felt a pain in his head. A buzzing sound was forcibly brought back to reality, "Oh," he covered his head and sat up. When he opened his eyes, he saw that Zuta was holding the little white mouse in his hand, with a somewhat anxious look on his face: "It's a bit troublesome, come with me quickly,"
Yona jumped off the bed without hesitation, followed Ying Jialan out of the hut, and turned out of the courtyard along a gravel path. At this time, he also noticed the strange phenomenon around him. The empty square began to twist and deform, and the stone floor undulated. The ground trembled, and a huge rumbling fireball flashed across the sky. He staggered and ran, feeling like he was inside a huge egg, and a naughty child was throwing the egg around. Keep spinning and playing.
After running for a few minutes, I could no longer see the small courtyard where I was just now. There was no building in the endless square. Every inch of the ground was surging like waves. Thunderous sounds shook the sky and even the air. Ferocious cracks began to appear, Zuta suddenly pulled his hand, "Go in," Yona felt his eyes darken, and then brighten up. He was surprised to find that he had entered a majestic palace, with "ugly face" and sharp cut. Venerable Gaowuzhe, Zha and Star Picker were standing at the entrance of the hall to greet him. Many people were crowded inside the majestic palace door, but everyone was silent and silent.
A crack opened in the air behind him, and Zuta squeezed in from the void, wiping the sweat from his forehead: "The first layer of the barrier has collapsed, but the space is still in a state of chaos. No one can find the second layer in a short time. The location of the barrier is temporarily safe."
"Okay, come in and take a rest," the great swordsman nodded.
"What's going on?" Yona took a breath, looked around at the scene around him, and asked puzzledly. He stood at the door of the hall and looked out. The entire space was wrapped in a layer of flowing milky white fog. No need to It is said that it is a kind of space boundary.
"Ugly Face" Li Qie didn't say anything, and led everyone into the main hall. A majestic monk who was extremely eye-catching in the crowd came up to him. Standing in the crowd, you can see that he is at least two heads taller than the others. As he gets closer, he becomes more and more... Tall and mighty, Jonah raised his head hard to barely see the monk's face. Unexpectedly, this giant man, whose stature was almost comparable to Tanava's, had a delicate and elegant face, with long and elegant eyebrows. , with red lips, bowed slightly, put his hands together in salute, and opened his mouth to say in a pleasant male voice: "Master, Tan Yue, please come with me. Tea will be served in the inner hall."
"This is the leader of Kurigara and the elder of Pilu Temple in Beizhen, Shekuni Jiewahehe," Zuta clasped his hands in return and introduced in a low voice.
"Shekuni, remove the wax and drink..." Jonah was stunned for a moment, "In Sanskrit, this name means 'ghost of beasts'... Why is the name of the elder of the Buddhist temple so strange?"
Star Reacher pinched him hard from behind and said sternly in his ear: "Don't be unreasonable. Pilu Temple is the only temple in the Buddhist country that accommodates heterogeneous Buddhist practitioners. It is dedicated to the Buddha of Perfect Sambhogakaya." Vairocana, with his great compassion, tolerates the practice of living beings in the three evil realms such as the hungry ghost realm, the hell realm, and the animal realm. Shekuni is the great elder who is the chief officer of Vairocana Temple and practices diligently. He is a very remarkable person."
The astrologer reacted immediately, "You mean...I understand, I'm sorry,"
The group followed Elder Shekuni to pay homage to the Buddhas in the middle of the Mahavira Hall, then walked around to a quiet place in the back hall and sat down on a futon to drink tea. Although Elder Shekuni was intimidatingly huge, his movements were extremely gentle. The series of actions of taking the teacup, boiling water, grinding tea cakes, washing the cup, and making tea are full of dexterous and gentle strange beauty. "Venerable Gaowuzhe, please," he obviously also respected the haggard old monk, and took the lead in offering the teacup to him. superior.
"I understand," the old monk gently touched the green tea cup with his finger. The tea turned into a burst of steam and dispersed into the air. Not a drop of water was left in the tea cup.
After everyone had had a cup of tea, "Ugly Face" said sharply: "The operation has started in advance. It was not supposed to be launched after half a month."
The tall monk wearing a crimson cassock nodded slightly and said in the common language of the Southern Continent: "The whole story is like this. We originally invited a powerful helper to confront Brahma head-on and facilitate Kurigara's actions. But this man never showed up, so we had to fire the arrow. We decided to launch simultaneous attacks in seven major cities across the country in fourteen days, burning down all the Vedic temples and killing all the pagans. However, just a few hours ago, this powerful man With the help of , under his suggestion, Kurigara decided to launch an operation called "Anoli" in advance. Forty golden-winged Kapodes flew to various branches, and operations in seven major cities began at the same time. In Maharaja alone, 23,000 believers participated in the operation..."
Zuta beside him was translating sentence by sentence for Jonah, "Anoli, it means 'nectar fire'," the astrologer nodded, then shook his head, "On such a large scale, it is simply a war..."
"...The believers who cannot fight gathered in the Great Prajna Temple barrier to prevent the counterattack of the Vedic pagans. However, it seems that they have discovered this place. They only hope that the second layer of barrier can last longer until the warriors We have returned victoriously, and the light of Dharma has once again illuminated the Vedic land," Elder Shekuni said loudly.
"If the second layer of the barrier is breached..." the great swordsman said.
"I would like to transform myself into Shura," a strange smile with neither joy nor sorrow appeared on the corner of the elder's mouth, and Yona could faintly see the reflection of two sharp fangs.
After drinking a cup of tea, Elder Shekuni invited Venerable Gaowuzhe to check the condition of the barrier. Others were still sitting in the small room chatting casually. Yona had a very strange feeling in his heart. The world outside was obviously a scene of swords and swords. Countless people were being slaughtered wantonly in the name of faith, beacon smoke was burning, and blood was flowing into rivers; but he was sitting in a safe and warm room, drinking tea and chatting. This contrast reminded him of the Astrology Tower on the Red Earth Plains. In those days, the "Joint Amnesty Act" allowed him to walk leisurely in troubled times, watching the buildings around him collapse, and listening to the screams of the dead marrow. Everything was so far away from him, and the soft and smooth flesh and blood under his feet failed to touch him in the slightest; but at that time, His mood is completely different. What Jonah feels at this moment is deep guilt and uneasiness. Why? He knows that he is unable to stop a cruel war about faith, but this feeling of powerlessness is clearly blaming his heart. Why? .
Suddenly everything in the room faded, and the 17-year-old boy floated in the gradually darkening space. The soul fire above everyone began to shine. The brightest one was naturally "Ugly Face" Liqie, whose soul shone brightly. It glows with gorgeous silver light; the weirdest thing is the Zuta. Ying Jialan's soul fire and his ability also show a dark blue color, seemingly cold and sometimes scorching.
"Miss Rose," Jonah no longer marveled at the scene, his soul cried out.
"Please listen, this is the fourth reminder I have received," the listener Ross Ross said in an emotionless voice, "Due to the early launch of the coup, the eye of the storm in Maharaja has become the place with the strongest winds. , at the same time, the powerful combat power of the Brotherhood has been chasing you near Prince City, and may pose a threat to you at any time. Time and space are full of variables, and you must take the initiative to find the most possible future. A good tip: leave Kuliga now. Headquarters of Luo, go through the Mausoleum of Prince Mora and enter the city of Maharaja. Then leave from the east gate. Don’t look back. Keep heading northeast until you reach the bank of the holy river. At that time, the next prompt will appear. Have you actually received it? This tip,"
"Yes, Miss Rose," the astrologer replied in the affirmative without having time to think.
"I wish you good luck, Bloodline of the Betrayer," Rose Rose stopped the call, everything became brighter, the light of the soul disappeared, no one else noticed, only "Ugly Face" Liche seemed to look at him At a glance, it is actually impossible to tell which direction he is looking at due to the mask blocking his eyes.
"Mr. Liche, I have just received a reminder from the listener. We need to enter the city through the Mausoleum of Prince Moro, then leave through the east gate and go straight to the river bank," Jonah reported.
The great swordsman immediately stood up and made the arrangement without any doubt: "Zha, find Venerable Gaowuzhe, Zuta, and Star Reacher, let's go,"
"Entering the city, the listeners are going crazy. Inside the city is now a Shura field. Twenty-three thousand Buddhist believers and tens of thousands of Vedic believers are fighting. The demigod general is also in the city, not to mention the 'Twelve Shadows' Brahma, one of the Thrones, there is no place more dangerous than there," Star Reacher jumped up and shouted loudly.
The great swordsman had already walked out of the door and left a message: "Don't question the correctness of the listener. Even if it is the betrayer's bloodline's own decision, we are obliged to obey it. After joining the Ghost Left Hand for so long, you still don't have this awareness? "
"Enlightenment... I just hope to make the right decision..." Star Reacher stroked the bloody bandage on his chest and said gloomily.
The astrologer also had the same question in his mind, but if he stayed in the boundary of the Great Prajna Temple, it would become more dangerous once the brotherhood's pursuers arrived. The group found Elder Shekuni and explained the situation to him. The tall monk did not Expressing surprise, he squatted down and looked into Jonah's eyes with extremely clear eyes, "I heard what you said. In fact, I am a man-bear in the mountains in the northern part of Veda, somewhere between a monster and a wild beast." You are not a human being. I feel a very special power in you. The people around you are all Buddhist laymen with great wisdom and compassion. I hope you can experience suffering and gain peace and auspiciousness."
A warm light emerged from Elder Shekuni's palm, and his big hand gently stroked Jonah's head. The astrologer felt a comfortable shiver coming from the depths of his soul.
