?
The golden light came from the fragments of the Earth Book.
Old monk Ta Ling stretched out his palm and let the golden light fall on his palm. It was a copper plate engraved with Buddhist texts.
Originally, he was still thinking that it might be because of the Mahayana Buddhism that made Monk Ta Ling say such words, but when Xu Qi'an saw the Buddha amulet clearly, his expression suddenly became extremely strange.
This thing was taken from Chu Xianglong, the deputy general of the King of Zhenbei, when he killed him.
At that time, Xu Qi'an just took a rough look and threw it into the fragments of the Earth Book without paying any attention to it.
"This is..."
He stared at the old monk's palm and tried to test it.
"This is a Buddha amulet symbolizing the identity of Faji Bodhisattva. Seeing this amulet is like seeing a Bodhisattva." Old monk Ta Ling smiled.
A Buddha amulet symbolizing the identity of a Bodhisattva... Xu Qi'an was shocked, and his thoughts turned rapidly in his mind. How could the Buddha amulet of Faji Bodhisattva be on Chu Xianglong?
What is the relationship between the two? If I kill Chu Xianglong, will it lead to revenge from Bodhisattva Faji?
"You have the Buddha amulet of Bodhisattva Faji, so you are the owner of the pagoda."
At this point, the old monk said in a deep voice: "Where is the donor, and when did you see Bodhisattva Faji?"
......Xu Qi'an couldn't answer for a while, thinking that Bodhisattva Faji was not in Alanta, how could I have seen him..
Wait! Chu Xianglong must have never been to Alanta, how did he get the Buddha amulet of Bodhisattva Faji?
This thought flashed through his mind, Xu Qi'an shook his head and said ambiguously: "I have not seen Bodhisattva Faji."
The old monk Ta Ling explained: "Bodhisattva Faji disappeared for 360 years, and there was no news. Even Liuli Bodhisattva couldn't find him."
Disappeared for 360 years........Xu Qi'an breathed a sigh of relief. In this way, no one could expose my identity as a fake successor.
He pretended to be puzzled:
"I remember that this amulet was given to me by an old wandering monk, who returned my kindness with a meal. But, but I never thought it was so precious. In addition, why did Bodhisattva Faji suddenly disappear and not let the Buddhist sect find it?"
This sentence not only explained the origin of the amulet, but also highlighted his "innocence", and by the way, he found out the truth about the disappearance of Bodhisattva Faji.
"No!" said the old monk.
No? Could it be that Monk Faji was a woman? Xu Qi'an's face almost changed.
The old monk looked at Xu Qi'an and hesitated:
"Bodhisattva Faji gave you the amulet, not for a meal. You got this amulet, and you have a cause and effect with the first-class Bodhisattva. For normal people, this is not a good thing. But I see that the donor is entangled in cause and effect, and one more cause and effect is not important. I think Bodhisattva Faji also saw this in you."
Bah, old monk, you seem to be saying: Donor, you are like an old general on the stage, with flags all over your body.
Xu Qiyan forced a smile: "Maybe... By the way, Master, if I had chosen to release Shenshu just now, would you really agree?"
The old monk nodded and said: "Unsealing the seal means your death. I will trap Shenshu after he devours your blood and essence. Then I will wait for the Bodhisattva of Alandra to deal with it."
The old man is still the wisest...Xu Qiyan looked at Shenshu's broken arm again and asked: "What is the origin of the owner of this hand?"
The old monk pondered for a moment, waved his hand, and his wide sleeves swept across the air, sweeping out a scroll that only Xu Qiyan could see.
In the scroll, the golden body of the Buddha sat majestically, with kind eyes and deep majesty.
On the left and right sides of the Buddha are nine Bodhisattvas, symbolizing the nine Dharmas, and eighteen Arhats.
This is exactly the scene on the first floor of the pagoda.
Shenshu is hidden among the Bodhisattvas? Xu Qi'an was wondering when he suddenly saw the "camera" moving up to the depth of the fog where the dome was invisible.
The next moment, the complete picture of the first floor of the pagoda appeared in his eyes: Above the head of the Buddha, deep in the fog, was a huge black statue with twelve pairs of arms, a blazing fire ring burning behind his head, and a black flame mark on his forehead.
He looked ferocious and evil, and looked down at the Buddha, Bodhisattva and Arhat below, as if they were the most delicious prey.
The overall picture has a clear sense of hierarchy. The Buddha's aura at the bottom is majestic and peaceful, and the upper layer is like purgatory, gloomy and terrifying, forming an extremely strong visual impact.
Xu Qi'an's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he could even hear the "thump" sound.
He recognized the black statue at a glance. It was Shen Shu.
When Chuzhou killed the King of Zhenbei, Shen Shu used the power of blood pills to perform secret methods and showed this statue.
"What does this painting mean? Shenshu feeds on Buddhism? Is Shenshu the enemy of the entire Buddhism? Can he threaten Bodhisattvas and Arhats, or even Buddha? Is he coveting the entire Buddhism in the depths of the fog?"
One guess after another burst out in my heart. With a trembling experience.
The old monk waved his hand, dispelled the picture, and put his hands together: "Do you understand?"
......Xu Qi'an opened his mouth, wanting to ask again, but couldn't ask.
The pagoda spirit drew a "" on the Buddha amulet, handed it to Xu Qi'an, and said:
"Holding the Buddha amulet, you can initially control the pagoda. The donor can choose to control the pagoda to leave Leizhou, but do not use the pagoda to hurt Buddhist disciples." Can I control the pagoda? Xu Qi'an was about to thank him when he heard Li Shaoyun's question from behind:
"What are you daydreaming about?"
He suddenly woke up, as if he had woken up from a big dream. There was no anklet in his hand, and Shenshu's left arm had not revived. If he hadn't held the Buddha amulet in his hand, he would have suspected that everything before was a dream.
Xu Qi'an subconsciously looked at the old monk Ta Ling. He was still sitting cross-legged with his eyes downcast, his hands clasped together, as quiet as a sculpture.
"No need to look at him, he won't care about anything, let alone help us."
Li Shaoyun followed his gaze and looked at the old monk: "I just begged him to send us out,
but was rejected. In addition, this monk is very good at calculating."
Very good at calculating? Do monks in this world also need a bachelor's degree... Xu Qi'an joked in his heart, quietly took back the Buddha card, and asked:
"What do you want to say?"
Li Shaoyun rolled his eyes and said, "It's getting dark, and Sun Xuanji still hasn't been able to deal with the enemies outside. If we still can't get out tomorrow morning, we will be trapped in the tower. Everyone is very anxious, what can you do?"
Xu Qi'an immediately looked out the window of the pagoda. The sky was dark and the sunset had completely sunk into the horizon.
It was quiet outside, and occasionally a few cannons could be heard, letting people know that the battle had not stopped.
The Leizhou warriors in the tower changed from their calmness during the day to become
anxious and uneasy.
Because they realized that Sun Xuanji seemed unable to rescue them under the guard of two third-grade masters, as time went on, everyone would inevitably go to "defeat".
"The third-grade sorcerer has run out of ammunition."
"Fire, fire. All he does is fire at monks. Don't he have any other means?"
"Sure enough, the sorcerer's fighting power is not trustworthy at all. If Xu Yinluo is here, the
Dharma Protector Vajra has already been reincarnated."
"Yes, Xu Yinluo is invincible. Most importantly, he is a warrior."
Anxiety brewed and fermented among the crowd, and many people regretted coming to
Sanhua Temple to wade into the muddy water.
At this time, Yuan Yi, Tang Yuanwu, and Liu Yun came over, and the commander asked:
"What is your plan?"
He came to discuss with Xu Qian'an. If it didn't work, he could consider returning the dragon energy to Buddhism. With Sun Xuanji's mediation, perhaps their lives could be saved.
While he was considering how to start, Yuan Yi heard Xu Qian say:
"I'll take you away now."
What?! Liu Yun and others suspected that there was something wrong with their ears. The next
second, they looked at Xu Qian with surprise and joy.
Fasten your seat belt...Xu Qi'an joked, infused the amulet with Qi, and separated a wisp of
divine thought to immerse in the amulet. He immediately felt that he had a certain connection with the pagoda.
This connection is lower than that of the Taiping Knife and is at the same level as the
fragments of the Earth Book.
This means that although he is now the owner of the pagoda, he is not the real owner.
A more vivid description: The Taiping Knife is his biological son, and the fragments of the
Earth Book and the pagoda are his stepfather.
With the status of the Earth Book and the pagoda, they are indeed stepfathers.
Xu Qi'an tightly grasped the amulet and said in a deep voice: "Get up!"
Outside the pagoda, the Dongfang sisters and the monks of the Sanhua Temple sat cross-
legged in twos and threes.
Compared with the intensive firepower during the day, the occasional artillery attacks now are not enough to pose a threat to them.
But they did not dare to leave the vicinity of the pagoda, because everyone guessed that Sun
Xuanji must be helpless and furious at this time, and might take his anger out on them and kill
them.
Moreover, most of the Sanhua Temple was destroyed in the rounds of artillery fire, the main hall collapsed, and there were countless craters and devastation. Panlong, the abbot of Sanhua Temple, chanted the Buddha's name and sighed:
"After this night, the pagoda will be closed. Letting those thieves die in the pagoda can be
regarded as an explanation to Hengyin and the dead fellow disciples."
The monks of Sanhua Temple were both happy and hateful. Dongfang Wanrong smiled and said, "But the commander-in-chief Yuan Yi died in the tower. The Dafeng court will definitely hold him accountable. The Buddhist sect must be prepared to
bear the court's anger."
"Don't fan the flames, lady donor."
Jingyuan Wushang said calmly, "Dafeng has been weak for a long time. Since the imperial
examination, the King of Zhenbei, the emperor, and Wei Yuan have died one after another.
The young man Xu Qian'an, who has become famous, has also been abolished. How can the Dafeng court have the courage to hold him accountable?"
"That's right. Yuan Yi instigated the people of Leizhou to attack our temple, and the Buddhist sect will hold him accountable." The monk of Sanhua Temple said indignantly.
The disciples of the Dragon Palace of the East Sea said, "Except for the supervisor, there are
no top masters in Dafeng."
The group of disciples belonging to the Wushen Sect laughed.
In the distance, Du Nan Jin Gang stood outside the tower gate, saying nothing.
Linghui Master Yilbu and Sun Xuanji, who was driving the turret, were still playing the game
of "cat and mouse".
At this moment, the pagoda suddenly began to shake, and the amplitude became more and
more violent. The wall peeled off piece by piece, and the tiles "crackled" and broke into
pieces.
Everyone looked up in astonishment and looked at the pagoda.
"What's going on? What happened in the pagoda?"
"Is the pagoda alive?"
The sudden change made everyone confused and talked about it.
The abbot Panlong murmured: "This pagoda has stood in the temple for 500 years and has
never moved. Why is this, why is this?"
Without hesitation, everyone looked at the Dharma Protector Vajra Du Nan, only to find that
this third-grade Vajra, whose expression was as calm as a mountain, finally showed emotions
such as surprise, shock, and confusion.
A black light landed on the side of the tower. Irbu, who was wearing a wizard's robe, looked
up and said in a deep voice:
"What's going on?"
Dunan Vajra pondered and said, "Maybe Faji Bodhisattva is nearby, and the tower spirit
sensed him."
Faji Bodhisattva?
The Buddhist monk was overjoyed to hear this.
Yes, if the tower spirit had not sensed that the master was nearby, how could there be such a
movement?
Since the Bodhisattva has arrived, the thieves in the tower have no chance of escaping, and the
annoying Sun Xuanji is no longer a threat.
This battle for treasures was a close call.
"Amitabha, since Faji Bodhisattva has arrived, this matter should have an end." Panlong host clasped his hands together, relieved.
The disciples of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea were envious. The Buddhist sect was
powerful and had many masters. A first-class bodhisattva could come at any time. No wonder
the Buddhist monks were so arrogant.
It was hard not to be arrogant.
Jingxin and Jingyuan looked at each other in surprise. As monks from Alanta, they knew some
inside information. Bodhisattva Faji had disappeared for 360 years without any news.
He appeared as soon as he was said to appear?
When everyone was confused, surprised, or envious, Irbu, who kept looking up at the pagoda,
said in a deep voice:
"There is someone on the top of the pagoda."
Upon hearing this, everyone subconsciously looked up at the pointed top of the pagoda.
In the dark sky, at the top of the spire, stood a man in green. He stood alone in the wind, his
clothes fluttering, and looked down at the people below indifferently.
The faces of the Dongfang sisters suddenly changed:
"It's Xu Qian!"
Others recognized the identity of the man in green. It was Xu Qian who summoned Sun Xuanji
and killed the first seat Hengyin.
When did he leave the tower?
The face of Du Nan Jin Gang finally changed.
"The green mountains remain unchanged and the green waters flow forever. Thank you for
the gift of the Buddha. Everyone, goodbye!"
The man in green bowed.
As soon as the voice fell, the pagoda burst into dazzling golden light, and the towering tower
rose from the ground and went straight into the sky.
Two figures chased up at the same time, namely Du Nan Jin Gang, who was surrounded by
brilliant golden light, and Ilbu, who turned into a black light.
Du Nan Jin Gang's speed was not as fast as the pagoda, and he was left behind in an instant.
Ilbu's black light chased him closely and gradually closed the distance.
The pagoda shook with a bang, and a terrible aura of pressure was emitted, which made Ilbu feel like being struck by lightning, and his magic power stagnated, as if he was suppressed. Seizing this opportunity, the pagoda turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the
horizon.
.......
Inside the Sanhua Temple, both the East Sea Dragon Palace and the Sanhua Temple were dumbfounded.
"No, it's not the Bodhisattva Faji..."
A monk swallowed his saliva, "The pagoda was, was robbed..."
The Buddhist monks were confused and couldn't understand what was happening in front of
them. Why was the magic weapon of a first-class Bodhisattva robbed just like that?
Where is the pagoda spirit? Is the pagoda spirit asleep?
Jingxin looked at the Dongfang sisters, with astonishment and confusion still frozen on his
face, and said faintly: "Who is that Xu Qian?"
He is just a guy who can't even beat Wanqing... Dongfang Wanrong opened her mouth and was
speechless.
She no longer believed in her own judgment.
Dongfang Wanqing answered for her sister: "We met this person on the way to Leizhou. He..."
Speaking of this, Dongfang Wanrong's beautiful face was blank, as if she had forgotten what
she wanted to say.
At this time, a monk from Sanhua Temple pointed to the place where the pagoda was originally built and said in surprise: "Hey, why is there an empty space here?"
Panlong Abbot looked over and said: "That's..."
He was suddenly stunned. Yes, why is there an empty space here?
The night was dark, the border of Leizhou.
The golden light whistled and landed in a valley.
The night was dark, the mountains and rivers were silent, and the cries of night owls echoed
from time to time.
Sun Xuanji took Mu Nanzhi and Li Lingsu into the pagoda, and climbed to the third floor
under the guidance of Xu Qian'an.
Mu Nanzhi held the little white fox, turned around and looked around, and saw the people of
the world crowded by the two windows, staring at the night outside in amazement.
"You, you robbed the pagoda?"
Li Shaoyun looked like he had seen a ghost, staring at the man in green in front of him: "How
did you do it?"
My wife taught me... Xu Qian'an teased him silently, and said calmly on the surface: "Without
absolute certainty, would I enter the pagoda?"
Hearing this, the commander-in-chief Yuan Yi showed an expression of admiration: "Your
Excellency is so smart, and I am so ignorant that I don't even know when Dafeng has produced such a person as you."
Liu Yun looked over immediately, her eyes sparkling.
"Maybe he is from Dafeng." Li Shaoyun muttered beside him.
This person is proficient in Gu magic. Although he looks like a typical Central Plains person,
his appearance can change.
Sun Xuanji looked at Xu Qian'an and said: "I..."
The little fox didn't like the atmosphere in the pagoda very much. He curled up in Mu Nanzhi's arms, raised a small paw, and said weakly: "So powerful, so powerful, worthy of being Sister Ye Ji's man."
The purpose of his coming to Leizhou is to rob the pagoda? This, this is something I never
thought of... Li Lingsu thought with mixed feelings.
Sun Xuanji looked at Xu Qian'an and said, "Already..."
Mu Nanzhi's face changed slightly, and he lowered his head: "Sister Ye Ji?"
A man?
The little white fox said "hmm": "Sister Ye Ji is my third sister."
No wonder, no wonder he said she was the sister of an old friend... Mu Nanzhi examined it for
a moment, with a cold face, and threw the little white fox away.
Pah!
The little white fox fell to the ground. It was only as long as an adult's forearm, exquisite and
small, with its head raised, its tearful fox eyes looked at Mu Nanzhi innocently, and it
couldn't understand why it was suddenly treated so roughly.
Mu Nanzhi glared at Xu Qian'an, sighed, picked up the little white fox again, and rubbed his
head to comfort him.
She wouldn't go against a little fox cub.
Sun Xuanji looked at Xu Qi'an and said, "The classic..."
Xu Qi'an said loudly, "Everyone, this matter is over. In order to prevent being tracked, I will
leave immediately. I will send everyone out of the tower now."
A Jianghu person hesitated for a while and weakly tried to test: "You said before that the
treasure will be divided equally." Immediately, a lot of eyes were cast on Xu Qi'an.
The Leizhou warriors did not dare to make a noise, let alone force him, and watched him with
bated breath. Jianghu wanderers like to fight for treasures the most, essentially because they have no backing and no resources. If they want to stand out, they must fight for their lives. Just like the poor children who want to stand out, they have to work hard, work hard, and study hard for ten years to fight for that ray of opportunity. Only the wandering cultivators themselves know the bitterness of this. The old monk who was meditating with his eyes downcast like a sculpture actually raised his
head and looked at Xu Qi'an.
Yuan Yi, Li Shaoyun, Tang Yuanwu and other four-rank warriors did not speak, but their eyes
immediately showe a trace of
The reason why I did not speak just now was that I felt that I was no longer qualified to
bargain with Xu Qian.
The world is like this, the one with the bigger fist has the final say.
But deep down, I still had a trace of expectation.
Of course, even if Xu Qian turned his face and refused to recognize him, they would not say
anything more and leave immediately.
It is impossible to share the dragon energy, and I cannot decide the pagoda, but I did say that the treasure should be divided equally just now... Although it was a perfunctory word, a man's promise is worth a thousand gold... Besides, it was me who brought these people here and
took advantage of their "labor force" for free.
How should I compensate them... Xu Qian'an fell into deep thought.
