Chapter 615 Great Sage Jialan
Ouyang Xing and Zong Hedong both made the same move at this moment. The glazed lamp and the magic weapon made from red pearls both emitted a dazzling light. Immediately, the man disguised as Guo Ding's adopted son, Black smoke billowed out of his body, he let out a shrill scream, and flew back.
"kill!"
Ouyang Xing chased after him and held out his precious lantern. The light in the glazed lamp was like a brilliant sword, instantly piercing the ghost. The thin layer of human skin covering the body of the evil evil creature cracked, revealing what was inside. His true body turned out to be a ferocious-looking ghost with a green face and fangs.
"Haha, you've shown your true colors, haven't you?!"
Zong Hedong laughed loudly, and the red pearl in his hand emitted the most powerful light of the sun. The glorious light suddenly burst out. In the palm of his right hand, it was like a tower of blazing fire rising. With a roar, the fire poured over and burned the fake Guo Jing'an. He kept yelling and was obviously hurt.
"You ghost, you really think we can't see through your disguise..."
Ouyang Xing snorted coldly.
"Tell me quickly, where did you secretly hide Guo Jing'an?"
He gently shook the precious lantern in his palm, and the strange light of the glazed lamp shrouded it. The ghosts flew back and stopped, lowering their heads and whimpering, curling up in a ball, as if they couldn't bear the power of the Yang Ganghua, and were in extreme pain. .
"Yes, your acting skills are not bad, but in front of us, what's the use of playing such tricks?"
Zong Hedong smiled and said, "Do you really think we can't see it?"
He and Ouyang Xing had a problem with "Guo Jingan" very early on. The other party seemed to want to introduce him and Ouyang Xing into the pagoda forest before, but when Zong Hedong mentioned that there was a glimmer of "life" hidden in the pagoda forest, "Guo Jingan" changed again, and seemed to want to prevent the two from entering.
In addition, he also had various strange behaviors along the way. Zong Hedong and Ouyang Xing were both old people in the world, so they naturally saw that there was something wrong with Guo Jinan, so they took out the Zhiyang Rare Object and tried it. After this test, the other party Just show your true colors.
"Hurry up and tell the truth clearly, otherwise you can just enjoy it slowly!"
Zong Hedong said and took a step forward. The flaming pagoda formed by the flames of the red pearl in his hand was surrounded by rings of fire. The light shone brightly and shone down like mercury leaking out of the ground, penetrating into every hole, forcing this mysterious evil ghost to bow down and kneel down. The ground is hard to look at.
"Stop...stop!"
The evil ghost huddled up in a ball, holding his head in pain, and his voice slowly became lowered and finally became inaudible. Zong Hedong was slightly stunned: "What did you say?"
He flipped up his robe sleeves and grabbed hold of the evil ghost with his big hand. Who knew that at this moment, there was a scream, and the evil ghost suddenly rose up, breaking free from the blockade of Zhiyang Ganghua, and his eyes burst into darkness. The light is like two lanterns.
The ghost was in front of him in a blink of an eye, moving like a hill, fast and ruthless, and a black ghost claw poked out.
This is a fierce ghost. Even if it is not a terrifying existence like Fo Li, its strength is very terrifying, enough to threaten Taoist masters. The ferocious ghost claws are surrounded by corrosive black mist, and they grab Zong Hedong's face through the air.
The strong Yin Qi chill enveloped him, and the extremely gloomy Yin evil aura hit his face. Even Zong Hedong was secretly frightened, as if he couldn't react.
"court death!"
Ouyang Xing shouted loudly, and the lotus light refined by Tianpi Ruli burst into glory, and the light of the essence wheel turned into several sword lights. The evil ghost's claws were cut off with one sword, and even his body was cut off by two sword lights. Cut into three pieces.
This ghost is a ghost after all. It is obviously torn into pieces, but it can also make a shrill scream, turn into wisps of black smoke, and swipe deep into the Tallinn.
"We can't let it escape!"
Zong Hedong shouted, as fast as lightning, he also chased after him, flying towards the tower forest, like a meteor, drawing a long tail.
"Okay! Don't let it run away..."
Ouyang Xing also did his part, vigorously activated his escape method, and chased the ghost closely. Among the three parties, one turned into black smoke and fled in front, while two people chased behind them, flying quickly through the forest of pagodas dotted with pagodas.
This strange pagoda forest was densely packed inside, with all kinds of merit pagodas standing tall and strange. It was like a large formation or a huge endless maze. Ouyang Xing and Zong Hedong chased for a while and then stopped.
Because they unknowingly lost their way and could not find a way out.
"That ghost deliberately showed a flaw," Zong Hedong frowned: "It showed off a flaw, which was to lure the two of us out. It planned to use the characteristics of this place and the possible existence of Buddha and fierce creatures to trap us. What a powerful calculation!”
"Hahaha, so what?"
Ouyang Xing sneered disapprovingly: "I have a glazed sun disk lotus lamp made from Tianpi Ruri. My elder brother's red pearl is also one of the seven treasures of merit praised by Buddhist monks. Both treasures can restrain the yin ghosts in the world. Even if If we really meet Fo Li, he will only choose to stay away when he sees us."
"You're right."
Zong Hedong nodded: "But it's better to be careful with everything in the world. The origin of that ghost should not be simple. It will lead us here, so it should have something to rely on. It's better for us to be careful!"
"Then again, what kind of ghost was that just now?"
Ouyang Xing also asked a question: "My glazed sun disk lamp, together with my elder brother's red pearl sacrificial weapon, two treasures that are specially designed to overcome the filthy and filthy things, combined together, can't keep it." , it seems that it is indeed not an ordinary ghost."
"That thing is good at disguising itself into a human form, and it's also covered in a layer of fake skin. If I don't expect it, it should be a rare painted-skinned Yaksha."
Zong Hedong said calmly: "This is a rare ghost. It comes from the land of darkness and sunlessness. It is said that there is an ancient force in Youluo Dao, which is also a ghost country. Many terrifying ghosts have been born, and even a terrifying ghost king. "
"I have also heard this saying. It is also said that both Youluo Dao and Corpse Bone Dao belong to an ancient inheritance. They are as old as the ancient Taoist sects and are called the other side... And in the present world where we live, as long as When a powerful ghost is born, it will be welcomed by the Youluo Dao. Therefore, there are basically no ghosts that are too strong in the real world, and the truly powerful evil ghosts all exist in the deepest part of the Youluo Dao."
Ou Yang , its origin is even earlier than the birth of Buddha Mother.
Because of their extremely long ages, the three Bodhisattvas knew many secrets of the world. Later, due to the birth of the first You Emperor and the sweep of the Great You Dynasty, the three ghost-man Bodhisattvas of the Mud Sect also felt pressure and had to hide deep in the Youluo Dao. Avoid the invincible first-generation Emperor You.
Because of these three people, the Mud Sect also knows a lot about the details of Youluo Dao. In fact, these three ghost-man Bodhisattvas have also come into contact with certain mysterious existences in Youluo Dao, so they naturally know a lot about each other's details.
According to the descriptions in some Mud Sect classics that are not spread to the outside world, the other side is an ancient force. Its path of practice is different from the conventional sects, and it is divided into three forces. One of them is the prison-suppressing line, which is stationed in In the corpse path, it is said that they specialize in the method of corpse dissection and enlightenment;
The second is the Nether Palace, which is hidden in the vast underworld of the Netherworld Path. It is different from the Bone Path. The Nether Palace follows the path of ghosts and immortals. Moreover, the Nether Palace Network has trapped many people throughout the ages. Dark ghosts and evil things are hiding in the depths of Youluo Road, and they seem to be hatching some conspiracy in secret;
Finally, there is another group, its name is ominous, and no one even knows where it is located. These three forces are collectively called the other side. The other side forces rarely pay attention to the outside world, but once they act, they will cause disasters in the world. The Yunxiao Dao Palace, which used to dominate The fall is most likely due to the hand of the other side.
Later, some people said that the Three Yuan Demon Palace would be destroyed suddenly and inexplicably, and it was also pushed down by masters sent by the other side...
Anyway, whether it is the former or the latter, the symbolic meaning cannot be ignored. There are too many dangerous rumors about this secretive mysterious force. It is not a bad thing that they are not born. If something in the world attracts the attention of the forces on the other side, It is inevitable that they will cause trouble, and of course, few people are willing to take the initiative to provoke them.
"Brother Zong, do you think there is a possibility that this pagoda forest was not built by people from the Buddhist sect, but was caused by forces from the other side?"
Ouyang Xing thought for a moment and couldn't help but ask a question.
"Why do you think that?"
Zong Hedong just replied like this.
"Buddhism has nothing to do with Youluo Dao, so why bother building so many pagodas here? In my opinion, this is very likely the work of Yougong's lineage..."
This is what Ouyang Xing thought, and he said it truthfully.
"Haha, at this point, I don't have any answers to answer you."
Zong Hedong shook his head. He looked around, glanced at the surrounding environment, and said in a solemn voice: "In my opinion, the most important thing for us now is to escape from here in violation of the law-"
"You're right."
Ouyang Xing could only nod.
They didn't have that kind of time to think now. They had to admit that for now, the most important thing was to leave this tower forest and find a way to the outside world.
"At the end of reincarnation, there must be a way to live. In the road to death, there must be life... At this point, we can only try our best."
Zong Hedong murmured.
The annotation he read in one of the classics of the Dragon Worship Sect is a "warning" given by the senior masters of the Dragon Worship Sect to the disciples of later generations. The consciousness of this sentence is that in some extremely harsh environment, under these ten sentences In these six words, you can hide a way out of the predicament.
Zong Hedong was able to cultivate Taoism and his intelligence was quite outstanding. He compared the meaning of this sentence and immediately knew that this was a reminder from the senior of the Dragon Worship Sect, and it should refer to the situation he was encountering now.
"At this point, no matter what, it is impossible to sit still and wait for death..."
Ouyang Xing was also persuaded by him, and they didn't want to be trapped here.
Neither of them believed in evil, so they continued to search in this vast land. After searching for a while, they unexpectedly found an ancient ruin among the large stone towers.
It was a ruined place and an ancient temple, which was odd because there shouldn't be such a thing in this forest of pagodas.
This is an ancient temple that has been abandoned and weathered for many years. It is in a silent and peaceful environment, which is in sharp contrast to the weird merit pagodas around it.
"It's strange, brother Zong, look there is a copper plaque there. This copper plaque is made of refined red copper, and there are ancient writings on it."
After Ouyang Xing approached, he illuminated the area with a glazed lotus lantern, and gradually discovered that in front of the ruined ancient temple, there was a rusty bronze plaque in front of the temple, with a few lines of ancient characters engraved on it, such as dragon, pan, and phoenix. Ease and endless Zen. It's just that it's an ancient Sanskrit script, and Ouyang Xing has no way of identifying what character it is.
"This is an ancient Sanskrit word. When read together, it means five words, 'Great Saint Galan Temple'."
Zong Hedong had a certain understanding of ancient Sanskrit and could recognize and read the name of this temple at a glance.
"Great Saint Jialan Temple..." Compared to Zong Hedong and Ouyang Xing, He Ping was startled and recalled his past experiences. In the process of searching for the "Invisible Secret", he had indeed been to a place. Jianjialan Temple.
Jialan Temple is a temple built by the great saint Jialan, one of the direct disciples of Buddha. It is also the ancestral temple of Shuiyue Zen Sect of Buddhism.
The great sage Jialan is a holy monk whose appearance is rarely known in Buddhism. Among the many disciples of the Buddha, he is also taciturn. He practices ascetic practices diligently, lives in peace and quiet, has mature roots, subdues all desires, and has great compassion. Well-known among his disciples.
Even the Buddha believed that he had obtained his true mantle. After the Buddha's Nirvana, he preached the Dharma everywhere and saved all living beings. Jialan Temple was a temple he personally built during his lifetime. It was a secret dojo of this holy monk.
Because this ancient temple is located within the territory of Dayou, the Great Sage Jialan also forged a deep connection with Dayou Zhonghuan. Later, when Buddhism spread its religion southward, it is generally believed that the Great Sage Jialan tried his best to facilitate this.
However, the Jialan Temple at Meiling Pass at that time was not the "real" Jialan Temple. It was just a temple transformed from the Immortal Puppet Sect's most sacred treasure, the Invisible Secret.
He Ping almost fell into the scheme of the "Invisible Secret" and was sealed into the treasure "The Invisible Secret". Naturally, he still remembered this incident, and he really didn't expect to see this temple here.
woo woo woo woo……
Ouyang Xing and Zong Donghe were about to study the bronze plaque when they heard a sound of howling ghosts coming from all directions. Strong black mist swept in from all directions, and the sound became more and more terrifying, roaring to the heaven and earth, angrily scolding the world. Yu.
"Damn, we're surrounded!"
Zong Hedong and Ouyang Xing both realized that the situation was not good. They seemed to be surrounded by people. There was thick black fog in all directions. There were ghosts as dense as a tide hidden in the fog. Fortunately, the essence of the Sun was in the two of them. Emitting a strong light, it was able to secure a cone of land and block the ghosts hidden in this strange mist.
"It's really a trap!"
Cold sweat broke out on Zong Hedong's forehead. Suddenly, he laughed again: "I understand, this should be the center of the pagoda forest ritual. If not, this ghost tide would not have formed!"
"Brother Zong, what do you mean by this?"
Ouyang Xing was also a little nervous. He was also a monk. Ordinary ghosts were nothing, but the number in front of him was really scary.
"Behind us... is the center point of the ritual. If we destroy the layout here, we can get out!"
Zong Hedong shouted: "Look, it's right behind us——"
He and Ouyang Xing turned their heads together, and their eyes suddenly widened, as if they saw something unbelievable.
"Guo Jingan! It's you!"
Both of them saw the figure of Guo Jing'an sitting cross-legged in an open space in the ruins.
