Chapter 183
In Luoyang City, the largest and most famous brothel is called "Manqingyuan", which is the private property of Shangguanlong, the leader of the Luoyang clan.Day and night, the Manqing Court is full of customers, and there are countless beautiful girls who are carefully selected by him. They specialize in extracting secrets from the guests, inquiring about information, and then compiling the information into a book and handing it over to the Yingui Sect.
However, the Yingui Sect was notorious and people in the Jianghu avoided it, so Shangguan Long never dared to reveal his relationship with it.In order to cover up his magic skills, he even created a set of exquisite stick techniques, just for fear that people would find out his true origin.
Tonight, the overlord of the Changbai Mountains in the northeast, "Zhi Shi Lang" Wang Bo held a meeting of heroes here.Heroes from all over the world gathered together, including young talents from the Central Plains such as Song Shidao, the second son of the Song Clan, Song Yuzhi, the third lady, Li Shimin, the second son of the Li Clan, and Dugu Feng, the lady of the Dugu Clan. Jingzhai Fairy Master Concubine Xuan also took this opportunity to complete her plan to choose the emperor.
Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, and Ba Fenghan came to Luoyang just in time for their meeting.They disguised themselves, put on masks, and took advantage of Song Shidao's name to enter Manqingyuan safely.Not long after the three of them entered, Shi Fei Xuan also arrived, and talked with Song Shidao through sound transmission nearby, asking about the ambition of the Song clan son.
None of them noticed that Su Ye was sitting by the window in the restaurant opposite the Manqing Courtyard, quietly gazing at this magnificent building covered with palace lanterns and satin.From Concubine Shixuan to Dugufeng, everyone passed by her, but they never raised their heads to look at the restaurant.
Later, she also saw Shen Luoyan, and watched her walk into the gate of Manqing Academy with Wagang General Wang Bodang.Recently, Shen Luoyan was single-handedly responsible for hunting down Ssangyong, trying to lure out the location of Duke Yang's treasure house, saying that as long as they handed over the secret, they would be spared their lives.But how could Ssangyong be a coerced person, he never showed any mercy, rejected her mercilessly, and escaped from Shen Luoyan's hands three times in a row, making her classify them as strong enemies.
Su Ye didn't have much interest in the grievances between them. Anyway, Ssangyong was not dead, and Shen Luoyan was not dead either. Continuing to fight would be beneficial to the growth of both parties.Shen Luoyan had accompanied Chao Gongcuo to meet You Chuhong, which was also within her control.However, it was Chao Gongcuo and You Chuhong, not Shi Zhixuan and Zhu Yuyan, so she really didn't need to worry too much.
In fact she was quite sure, because no one had so far succeeded in following her.The other party couldn't find out her whereabouts, so what should he do?
During the last meeting, Rong Fengxiang frankly admitted to her that Zhu Yuyan, Hou Hou, Bian Busheng and other important figures of the Yin Gui sect had all arrived in Luoyang.When Su Ye asked him if they lived in Shangguan Longfu, he also admitted in disguise.
The reason why she came to Manqing Court tonight was not to get involved in this rare gathering of talents, but to see Shi Feixuan with her own eyes.When she saw her, she found that she had no feelings for her, so she concluded that He Shibi was not with her, and she had transferred it to Jingnian Temple.
Jingnian Temple has always followed the example of Cihang Jingzhai, never interfering in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and the monks in the temple practice meditation day and night.Because of this, it has a huge scale and the martial arts of the monks are extremely high, but it is unknown in the Jianghu. Even Ba Fenghan, who is well-informed, does not know about this treasured place of Buddhism.It wasn't until Master Concubine Xuan entrusted He Shibi that the name of Jingnian Temple spread secretly.
This also proves that the Buddhist monastery is sufficient to protect He's Bi, preventing any figure in the world from taking it away.No matter who wants to enter the Buddhist monastery to steal treasures, he has to take the risk of blood splashing on the spot.
She confirmed that Concubine Shixuan did not bring He's Bi, she immediately got up and left, and went out of the city in the dark, to the wilderness in the south of the city, looking for the magnificent temple on the top of the hill.
When the three of Kou Zhong snatched the treasure, they used a desperate method. Kou Zhong and Ba Fenghan met under a dangerous cliff, and Xu Ziling threw himself into the bronze hall.He made a bet with himself, that is, he practiced the supreme treasure book "Longevity Jue" of Taoism. When he first developed his inner strength, he possessed innate qi, and compared with others, he was less affected by He Shibi. Aspects of influence.
He made the right bet, so he was able to take advantage of the opportunity when more than 200 monks in the monastery couldn't stand He's Bi and avoided it one after another, successfully took it away, and used this rare treasure to fight against the monks, and finally escaped successfully.
In other words, in the current arena, he is indeed the one who is most likely to take away He's Bi.Others don't know him well, and they don't know that he has entered the realm where the true energy can be sent and received freely, and the heart is like the moon in the well, most of them can't guess them.
Su Ye didn't have a companion to help him, and he didn't have the heart to find that cliff.For her, as long as the monks moved aside and gave her three to five seconds, she would be sure to rush in, get He's Bi, throw it into the Paradise of Caves, and then break through the barriers and walk away.
At the climax of the moon, she also arrived near the Jingnian Temple.
If they hadn't searched for it intentionally, others would never have imagined that there was such a magnificent monastery hidden on this secluded and remote hill.The main body planning of the temple is extremely neat, and all the main halls are arranged along the same positive axis, facing the gate of the temple.The whole body of the main hall is made of copper, while the other buildings are covered with three-color glazed tiles, which show a brilliant luster under the moonlight and have a feeling of radiance.
The Copper Hall is smaller than other buildings, but it is the most impressive.Outside the hall is the Baishi Square, which is hundreds of feet wide and narrow, and enshrines painted statues of Buddha and Bodhisattva.
There are lights in the middle of the square and Buddhist altars, illuminating the surrounding scenes clearly.In addition, the entire Jingnian Temple was dark and without lights, as if they were reluctant to give up lamp oil at night, so they all gathered in the main hall behind the copper hall to chant sutras.
There is no doubt that He's Bi is stored in the copper hall in the center.The gate of the copper hall weighs more than a thousand catties. There are no windows, only four vents on the roof. Master Liaokong, the Zen master of the Jingnian Temple, personally guards the hall.Ordinary treasure thieves would not even be able to open these two copper doors, let alone defeat Master Liao Kong who is a master of Xuangong Tongshen, deal with the four guardian kings, and break through the Buddha formation composed of two hundred monks.
But He's Bi is extremely awkward, it is a natural treasure that looks like jade but not jade, and can change with the sky.Bizhong's strange power fluctuates from strength to strength, disappears from appearance, and radiates to everyone around.If the visitor's spiritual sense is strong enough, he will be able to find out that something is wrong with the bronze temple from a long distance away. At the same time, the closer he is to it, the stronger the impact will be.
Ning Daoqi borrowed Bi from Jingzhai for three years, precisely to use its power to practice Taoist Xuangong in depth.When master Liaokong was guarding it, he also practiced "closed mouth meditation" beside the birch.
It's a pity that after He's Bi was born, the changes became more and more severe day by day, and the energy radiated in all directions was almost like a cold current, invading the eight extraordinary meridians everywhere.Ordinary people have no sense of this strange force, only those who have advanced to the innate realm can discover how strange it is.
What's more, usually it just lies quietly in the box, seemingly harmless to humans and animals.Once others meditate next to it, or exercise their hands, they will immediately be impacted by strange forces, and they are likely to go crazy.Therefore, Concubine Shixuan was unwilling to take it to walk in the rivers and lakes. In the end, Kong Kong couldn't bear its strange changes, so he left the copper hall and led the monks to stay away from it, waiting for it to return to tranquility.
In their hearts, even Liao Kong could hardly bear such a strong mental pressure, and the others naturally couldn't.When He's Bi is showing off its power, it is the safest moment.
Su Ye sat cross-legged by the outer wall of the temple, pretending to be the sister of the rock next to her, concentrating on listening to the movement in the temple.She waited patiently, and when she got close to Zi, Fang heard the rhythmic chanting stopped.The door of the main hall opened suddenly, and the four guardian kings led the monks out of the main hall to Baishi Square.
Then, inside the gate of the copper hall, there was the sound of the copper bar sliding down.Master Liao Kong nimbly pushed open two huge copper doors, and stepped out slowly.He practices silent meditation, so he never speaks.But as soon as his figure appeared on the top of the stone steps, other monks saluted him with palms together, highlighting the identity of the Chan master of the monastery.
Even with the power of the sky, he couldn't detect that Su Yeren was outside the temple.She imagined herself as a rock, and that was a rock.The two sides were separated by a huge square, and it was difficult to tell from the subtle sound of the night wind blowing on the rocks whether the rock was bigger tonight.
Not long after Likong stepped out of the bronze hall, a Dharma protector with an old voice issued a decree for him, ordering all the monks to go back to the meditation room to rest, reminding them not to slack off that night to avoid being harmed by jade.
Su Ye listened curiously to the sounds in the courtyard, and after listening for an unknown amount of time, he confirmed that all the monks finished their evening classes, left the square, and returned to the monk's room located deep in the Zen courtyard.The whole Jingnian Temple suddenly fell into silence. There was no sound of chanting sutras, nor the slightest voice of speech. It seemed to be separated from the world all of a sudden, and became a small, soundless world.
She wasn't surprised they left, because these things happened as they should.She just wondered why she hadn't found Shuanglong and Ba Fenghan until now?
Wang Shichong is of barbarian blood, knowing that his concubine Xuan would not give He's Bi to him, he simply sent people to the Buddhist monastery to steal treasures, and as a result, as many people were sent, as many people went back in disgrace.Later, because of Dong Shuni, he got acquainted with Shuanglong, liked their quick-witted and courageous qualities, and asked them to continue their great career of stealing treasures.
Because he had already alarmed Shi Feixuan by bluffing before, he was afraid that if he failed, the treasure would be transferred out first, so he must urge Kou Zhong to act as soon as possible.Their delay in coming now only meant that some accident had happened on the way which she was not aware of.
She didn't have the intention of waiting for them, and it's fine if they don't come, but when she heard the silence of Baishi Square, she leaped onto the wall without hesitation and scanned the whole temple.
The moonlight is so clear that even without lights, you can see the square clearly.From the bronze statue of Manjusri Bodhisattva to the Buddhist altar, and from the bronze hall to the bell tower, she felt that the Jingnian Temple seemed to be empty for a moment, and it was indescribably quiet and far-reaching.
After this moment passed, she suddenly realized that this was not what the monastery gave her, but the Heshibi in the bronze hall.That feeling was very hazy, but after careful identification, she could immediately find that it came from the center of the copper hall, which made her feel strangely peaceful.
But after she came into contact with He's Bi, only God knows whether it is so easy to talk to.
Su Ye stood on the wall, looked at the bronze statue of Manjusri for a moment, and actually had the idea that he couldn't bear to disturb the tranquility of the temple, which shows how powerful He's Bi is.She sighed softly, suppressed this thought, and flew down, as if not touching the ground, towards the closed gate of the bronze hall.
