Driving desperately towards the city, Saijo Dahe didn't know what the situation of his men was now. Did he win the battle? He had already killed Yan Kai, Toan Shan and Ye Mie and was burying their bodies? Or have you lost the battle and don’t know whether you will live or die?
But no matter whether they win or lose, they can't stop what Saijo Taiga is going to do now. He has spent eight years for tonight, and he is not willing to make any mistakes again!
After driving into the city, Saijo Taiga slowed down, drove the car near the destination, found an inconspicuous place to park, and then quietly came to a temple with the Buddha statue on his back, and sneaked in easily.
As the second-in-command of the "Genji Hotaru", a group of thieves who have been in the theft world for twelve years, Saijo Taiga is definitely very agile, and this temple is a place he often visits. Even some new monks who have entered the temple are not interested in this temple. Not as familiar as him.
Avoiding everyone's eyes and ears, Saijo Taiga quietly came to a remote Buddhist hall. He placed the Buddha statue on his back on the ground. As soon as he put it down, an old and peaceful voice sounded from behind Saijo Taiga.
"Donor Saijo, you are here."
Saijo Taiga, who had a guilty conscience, was startled. After he recognized the owner of the voice, he immediately relaxed and turned to face the person: "It's you, you scared me..."
"Hehehe, except for me, no one usually comes here, otherwise I wouldn't ask you to meet here, so Donor Saijo can rest assured."
A kind-hearted old monk smiled and stroked his beard.
After stroking his beard, the old monk said seriously: "Has the matter been settled?"
Of course not, but it set me on fire!
Saijo Taiga thought, but of course he would not answer like this. If he answered like this, the old monk would probably cancel their deal, so he pretended to be calm and said: "Of course it has been solved, don't you feel relieved when I do things? "
The old monk nodded slightly, walked to the Buddha statue of Medicine Master Tathagata, paid homage to the Buddha statue, and said: "Medicine Master Buddha, we finally meet again!"
Seeing the old monk's actions, if Saijo Taiga hadn't known that the old monk in front of him had ordered "Genji Hotaru" to steal the Medicine Buddha statue, and at the same time, he had been selling information about various Buddhist treasures to "Genji Hotaru" over the past twelve years, so that The mastermind behind "Genji Hotaru"'s success without being caught by the police or the temple monks, Saijo Taiga almost thought he was a devout monk.
"Master, you are so pious!"
Saijo Taiga couldn't help but stab the old monk.
After all, the life and death of his subordinates who have been trained for many years are unknown, and his status as a member of the White Road has also come to an end. Although this is the result of Saijo Taiga weighing the pros and cons, he still feels a little uncomfortable. An old monk with a piece of cake will inevitably feel dissatisfied.
"That's natural. I am a descendant of Buddha."
The old monk didn't seem to hear the irony in Saijo Taiga's words at all, and he still smiled and looked kind.
Even if you have the nerve to say that you are a descendant of Buddha, I am still a descendant of Minamoto no Yoshitsune!
Saijo Taihe said disdainfully.
This old monk, who drinks and eats meat as well as a prostitute, has the nerve to say that he is a descendant of Buddha, and is not afraid of people's jokes. However, Saijo Taiga does not want to ask more about the old monk's private life. He is not here to have sex with the old monk. He was after something like what he had dreamed of.
"Master, I have brought you the Buddha statue you asked for, but what about the one you promised me?"
Saijo Taiga asked.
"Didn't you already see it?"
The old monk said with a smile, and then pushed the Buddha statue he had just visited to the ground.
"what are you doing!"
The Saijo River was in great danger, and this was the Buddha statue he had finally obtained. Could it be that the old monk had changed his mind before the battle, and was ready to renege on their agreement?
"Donor Saijo, please calm down and look at the bottom of the Buddha statue."
The old monk spoke up.
After hearing this, Taiga Saijo couldn't help but look at the exposed bottom of the Buddha statue after it lay down, and found that the bottom of the Medicine Buddha statue was engraved with messy patterns, which looked mysterious, but upon closer inspection, it was confusing.
"What's this?"
Saijo Taiga looked at the old monk with doubts on his face.
"What about the pekoe? Put the pekoe in front of your eyes and see these patterns through the pekoe."
The old monk faces the great Saijo river.
Saijo Taiga quickly took out the white hair from his pocket, put it in front of his eyes, and looked at the patterns through the white hair.
Pekoe is a crystal bead with water chestnuts. When Saijo Taiga looked through the crystal bead, the water chestnuts of the crystal bead were refracted. Suddenly, those chaotic patterns became regular in Saijo Taiga's eyes and turned into one. Groups of simple words and patterns representing the acupuncture points of the human body.
Such a method is truly ingenious!
Saijo Taiga widened his eyes and said.
No wonder the old monk refused to acknowledge the transaction between the two after the white hair on the Buddha statue was lost. Without the white hair, the patterns on the ground of the Buddha statue were equivalent to graffiti. Of course, the old monk would not admit the transaction.
Saijo Taiga carefully looked at the words displayed under the influence of pekoe, and then looked back at the old monk: "What are these? What is written on them?"
He looked and looked and finally realized that, well, he didn't recognize the words.
The old monk sighed helplessly: "This is regular script! It is the official text of the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains. Fortunately, you are the owner of an ancient bookstore and you don't even know regular script. No wonder you have opened an ancient bookstore for so many years, except for one I got nothing but the martial arts secrets of 'Yoshitsune-ryu'!"
After being told by the old monk, Saijo Taiga blushed a little.
He is a serious martial arts enthusiast, no, it should be said that he is an obsessed person.
At a very early age, he determined to become a martial artist and tried every means to join the major schools. However, he was not accepted as a disciple by those schools due to problems with his aptitude and character. However, Saijo Taiga did not give up. Regular methods did not work. , he found another way and opened an ancient bookstore, specializing in collecting some ancient books, because he had heard that someone had found lost martial arts secrets in tattered ancient books. He imagined that he would be the next lucky one, but the ancient bookstore was full of It has been more than ten years since I started, but I have only received one ancient scroll that records the martial arts called "Yoshitsune-ryu", and the most important internal skills and mental techniques are missing in it, which makes all the martial arts moves greatly reduced in power, and I can only It became the "Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu" as Ying Zheng said.
This naturally made Saijo Taiga, who had a high self-esteem, extremely unwilling to accept it, so when the old monk asked him to conspire, he agreed without saying a word as soon as he heard the conditions proposed by the old monk.
"Master, please teach me!"
Saijo Taiga knelt on the ground and bowed to the old monk very sincerely.
"..." The old monk looked at the messy patterns on the base of the Buddha statue, with a look of nostalgia on his face. Although he didn't have any white hair to distort his sight and couldn't read the words on it clearly, he really didn't know much about the content hidden in these patterns. He was so familiar with it that even without the white hair, he could clearly state what was recorded above.
The old monk said slowly: "This is an extremely superior inner skill and mind method. If you practice diligently according to the above inner skill and mind method, it will not be difficult to become a great swordsman in the future. And when you become a great swordsman, it will not be difficult." , your dream of starting a sect will naturally come true."
The swordsman's strength can be regarded as the number one figure in the Kansai martial arts world where there are many masters. He is enough to stand on his own, and it is easy to open a school and teach disciples.
"Is this the inner strength and mental method?" Saijo Taiga was ecstatic.
Among martial arts, the most important thing is internal strength and mental skills. The reason why martial artists have power beyond ordinary people depends on the magical internal strength. However, in Saijo Taiga's "Yoshitsune-ryu" martial arts, what is missing is exactly the inner strength and mental skills. Without supporting internal skills and mental methods, his "Yoshitsune-ryu" martial arts is just a show.
"You brought the Buddha statue back, and according to the agreement, you can copy back a copy of the inner strength and mental methods on the Buddha statue."
The old monk faces the great Saijo river.
"Thank you, Master!"
Saijo Taiga said excitedly. Suddenly he paused and his face darkened.
"Master, the lower part of the Medicine Buddha Buddha statue is engraved with inner strength and mental methods. So I would like to ask, are there two Buddha statues on the left and right that are a group of Buddha statues with the Medicine Buddha Buddha statue, the Sunlight Bodhisattva statue and the Moonlight Bodhisattva statue? Under these two Buddha statues, are there What is also engraved on it?”
Saijo Taiga took a deep look at the old monk.
Back then, he made a deal with the old monk. As long as he could get the Medicine Buddha statue for the old monk, the old monk would give Saijo Taiga a set of top-notch inner strength and mental methods. At that time, Saijo Taiga didn't know that the internal strength and mental methods could be used in the Medicine Buddha. Under the base of the Buddha statue, he thought that the old monk only had internal skills and mental skills but no matching martial arts moves. But after knowing that the internal skills and mental skills promised by the old monk were under the Medicine Buddha statue, how could he not suspect that he was the same as the Medicine Buddha statue? Do the other two Buddha statues from Chu Yiyuan also hide some mystery?
"Donor Saijo is indeed a man of wisdom!" The old monk said with a smile, "Yes, under the bases of the Sunlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva statues, there are moves and Sanskrit seals corresponding to this set of inner skills and mind methods respectively engraved on them. When the Tao Neigong mind method is activated, it is extremely powerful. It is a world-shaking Buddhist martial arts. However, Saijo Donor has the "Yi Sutra flow" in his body, but he lacks the inner skill mind method. I guess he cannot use these moves and Sanskrit seals. of."
"Hey, Master, you are totally wrong about this!" Taiga Saijo said quickly, "Since you gave me the internal skills and mental methods, how could you not give me the moves and those other things... the Brahma Seal, yes, the Brahma Seal! How could you not teach me the moves and the Brahma Seal as well!"
To be honest, Saijo Taiga didn't know what Sanskrit Seal was, but if it could be put together with moves, it must be something that matched martial arts, and he couldn't miss it.
As for the "Yoshitsune-ryu" martial arts... go to hell "Yoshitsune-ryu"! There are only a few moves and no inner skills. If the "Yoshitsune-ryu" hadn't been so weak, I wouldn't have left behind those carefully trained disciples when I faced those two high school kiddies just now!
Thinking of those disciples, Saijo Taiga's heart bleeds!
"Genji Hotaru" has brought extremely high profits to Saijo Taiga, but in addition to subsidizing the ancient bookstore that not only makes no money but has been losing money, the money is used to train those disciples - there is no way, he can't teach real martial arts. "Yoshitsune-ryu" is just a show, and training disciples can only be spent with money. Disciples of other martial arts schools need to pay tuition fees to learn martial arts. When he comes to Saijo Taiga, he not only has to pay his disciples a monthly salary, but also pays them a proper salary. The salary level and other corresponding benefits of regular employees of large companies must not fall behind, otherwise who would be a bitch and be willing to work so hard with him to learn useless showy martial arts!
In short, Saijo Taiga suffered heavy losses. No matter what the original agreement was, he must get the compensation he "deserves"!
The old monk shook his head and said: "Donor Dahe, in your agreement, you only talked about internal skills and mental methods, but you never mentioned moves or Brahma seals!"
"Grandmaster!"
Saijo Taiga was a little anxious, and he said to the old monk: "In order to help you get this Buddha statue, I spent eight years, eight years! How many eight years can be wasted in life? Isn't eight years not as good as Just moves and Sanskrit seals?"
Saying that, Saijo Dahe took a step forward and looked at the old monk with fierce eyes: "Master, I came to ask for your consent because of our friendship for so many years. Since you have already said that the moves and Sanskrit seals are engraved in the sun, Under the base of Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva, then even without you, I can still get the moves and Brahma Seal."
Saijo Taiga looked down at the pekoe in his hand, with a proud smile on his face: "Master, the key to unlocking the mystery of that Buddha statue is still this pekoe, right? After all, I remember that there are no pekoe on the Buddha statues of Sunlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva. , and no other jewelry decoration!”
Opposite him was an old monk with no strength, and he was a strong man who knew martial arts (albeit a fancy martial arts). It was too easy for Saijo Taiga to handle the old monk.
"Donor Saijo..."
The old monk's tone was full of helplessness.
"Master, please help me! Let me experience this unique magical skill of Buddhism!"
Saijo Taiga knew that the old monk had been shaken, and he felt even more proud.
"Hey, since Donor Saijo wants to see the full extent of this martial art so much, then I can only satisfy Donor Saijo."
The old monk sighed, and suddenly formed a Sanskrit seal with his hands, and a ball of fire appeared on his chest. Before Saijo Taiga could ask what it was, the old monk's palms hit Saijo Taiga with the force of two winds. head on.
Saijo Taiga was in pain, and the white hair he held in his hand fell to the ground, rolling towards the door of the Buddhist hall.
Although it was painful, Saijo Taiga could not make a sound, because when the old monk hit his ears with his palms, the two balls of fire had already poured into his brain along his ears, poured into his internal organs along his throat, and then spread to The limbs and skeletons finally flowed back upstream and spewed out of the mouth of the Saijo River.
After a mouthful of flames spurted out, Saijo Taiga had already become a man of fire. The dark Buddhist hall was glowing red under the firelight from Saijo Taiga, as if it was also on fire.
Under the intense fire, Saijo Taiga couldn't even utter a scream, and his body turned into ashes.
After the Saijo River burned out, the Buddhist hall that had just been "brightly lit" immediately turned into the darkness before, leaving only a few sparks filling the hall, as if to tell the world what happened here just now.
The old monk rolled up his cassock with his hands and gently swept away the ashes and smoke that covered the Buddhist hall. Under the old monk's strong energy, the ashes with sparks and an indescribable burning smell All the smoke rushed towards the windows of the Buddhist hall, and the air in the Buddhist hall suddenly became extremely sober. There was no trace of ashes on the ground or in the air, and the entire Buddhist hall became peaceful.
The old monk carefully picked up pieces of pitch-black objects from the ground. These were keys and other small metal objects that Saijo Taiga had brought with him. The fire just now could not completely burn these objects.
He held the burnt and deformed metal in his hands. The hot metal could not touch the old monk, who had profound inner strength. The old monk exerted great force on his hands, and the metal that had lost its original shape completely turned into a pile of iron filings.
In this way, the evidence that Saijo Taiga came here tonight has completely disappeared. Even if someone finds the Buddhist temple in the future, there will be no clues.
After doing all this, the old monk said in a voice full of compassion: "Amitabha, donor Saijo, why are you so greedy? Why don't you just take the inner strength and mind method and leave? Why are you forcing me, an old friend, like this?" "
After saying this like a cat crying like a mouse, the old monk was about to pick up the pekoe that fell from the Saijo River, but he heard a mocking voice.
"Although the man named Saijo is indeed not a good person, old monk, isn't it entirely because of your inducement that he behaves like this?"
The old monk was shocked and looked in the direction of the sound. Unknown to him, a cold and stern young man was leaning on the door frame of the Buddhist hall, playing with the white hair he wanted to pick up, and looking at the old monk with disdain. Monk.
"Who are you?"
The old monk frowned.
After roughly learning the peerless martial arts from Buddha statues, the old monk has reached a state of so-called "trance" in the martial arts circles of the Central Plains. Within ten feet, even a leaf falling on the ground cannot escape his perception. As a result, he actually It is unprecedented for people to approach a Buddhist temple without knowing it!
"It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that you used the 'Golden-domed Buddha Lamp', which is a good move, to sneak attack an ordinary person who doesn't even have internal strength. If Sakyamuni had knowledge under the spring, he would know his testimony." A treacherous villain like you has learned the Taoist magic skill 'Tathagata Divine Palm', and you still claim to be his descendant. I don't know if he will be so angry that he will come to life and strike you to death with a palm!"
The old monk's expression changed drastically, and he pointed at the young man tremblingly: "You...you actually know about the 'Tathagata Divine Palm'!"
