In this way, the three masters and disciples split up and once again began to search quietly in Jing Nian Zen Monastery.
However, nearly half an hour passed, even though Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling once again searched the areas they were responsible for, and even used their skills that have become extremely sharp and at least transcendent since they practiced the "Secret of Immortality" There are no new discoveries about vision, hearing, and sensory abilities that are multiple times that of ordinary people.
Anyway!
Until the two of them finally had to meet on a bell tower as agreed, they still didn't find the slightest bit of the He's Bi that was said to be unusual and could emit "supernatural power". Clues.
"Young Master Zhong!"
"You didn't find anything either?"
As soon as he got to the bell tower, he saw Kou Zhong's empty hands and unnatural expression. Xu Ziling knew what the result was without thinking too much, so he went over to ask in a low voice.
"What does 'also' mean?"
"Ziling, please don't talk nonsense, I have discovered something!"
However, what surprised Xu Ziling was that Kou Zhong's answer surprised him, and then the other party actually pointed proudly to a place not far away that could be overlooked by them and was most likely to contain He's Bi. place.
"Here!"
"Look, that's the only place left that hasn't been searched yet."
"He's Bi is probably there!"
Anyway, Kou Zhong really has no choice now. If there is no He's Bi in that place, then they may really have to wait until their Master Anne comes to join them, then leave here together in despair and go back to provide false information. Wang Shichong settled the account.
"!!"
"ah!"
Following Kou Zhong's instructions, Xu Ziling couldn't help but exclaimed after looking at it for a moment.
Because, he saw: It was a strange brass-colored all-copper building without any windows, and even the only door was closed?
"That is……"
In a Zen courtyard behind the main hall, there is a luxurious platform square made of white marble with jade railings about two feet high. There are stone steps and entrances around the platform.
At the same time, there are four Buddha statues more than two feet high standing on the four corners of the high platform. The Buddha statues are even decorated with colorful sculptures and gold ornaments. Not to mention they are vivid in form and quite impressive?
That is to say, it is night now. If it were during the day, it would be even more amazing!
certainly!
The Buddha statues, the white marble high platform, and the jade balustrades were the next best thing. What shocked and amazed Xu Ziling the most was the horrifying copper hall in the middle of the high platform, where the four lifelike Buddha statues were enshrined and served. !
That’s right, it’s the Copper Palace!
Taking a closer look, Xu Ziling discovered that the copper hall was about three feet in diameter and up to five feet in height. Although it was much shorter than some of the buildings in the Jing Nian Temple and could easily be ignored in the dark, it was Its shape is very unique. If you look closely, you can see that it is full of exotic customs, including the many carved Buddha statues and numerous Sanskrit inscriptions on it. Even from a distance, there is a strangeness that makes people unable to help but worship. momentum!
Among them, the most amazing thing is the Copper Palace. It seems to be all made of pure copper. There is no trace of masonry, wood or tile structure, and except for the front door that is tightly closed and is also made of pure Outside the copper-structured palace door, the entire copper palace has no vents or windows at all, making it impossible to even peek inside?
"Hey!"
"Ziling, did you see it?"
"That stuff is pretty cool, right?"
"That is a pure copper structure. It requires a lot of extremely heavy brass and extremely skilled craftsmen to create an everlasting copper temple that is impervious to water and fire!"
"Speaking of which..."
"We always thought that Yangzhou was rich enough, and the palace of the 'faint emperor' Yang Guang was extremely luxurious and luxurious. But compared to these bald donkeys who built copper palaces with brass, what does Yang Guang mean?"
"These bald donkeys are the richest, most extravagant and hypocritical people in the world. They actually build their houses out of copper!"
You know, in this era, silver rarely circulates on a large scale. The common people use copper coins, and copper is equivalent to money to a certain extent!
But now, in the nook of the mountain like Jing Nian Zen Monastery, there is not only a magnificent temple complex the size of a town, but also a seamless copper temple with a radius of more than two feet and a height of five or six feet that is directly made of copper?
Such extravagant and arrogant behavior made Kou Zhong's eyes slightly red.
When he thought about it, if the copper palace was dismantled and melted into copper coins, it would probably be enough to feed and drink his Shuanglong Army's more than 100,000 troops for a year at least!
And this is just a portion of the wealth revealed by the monks of Jing Nian Chan Monastery. Who knows how many there are that have not been revealed?
"really!"
"Too extravagant!"
Nodding, Xu Ziling had to admit Kou Zhong's point of view.
"but……"
"I'm more concerned about other things."
Then, after Xu Ziling saw the situation of the copper palace clearly, he thought about it and expressed some of his thoughts:
"look!"
"With the four Buddha statues guarding and guarding it, it can be seen that this humble copper hall has a status in the Jing Nian Temple. It is definitely the most noble one!"
"so……"
"Young Master Zhong!"
"I figured it out, the 'He's Bi' must be inside!"
"Only the completely sealed Bronze Palace can isolate and seal the special power of 'He's Bi', preventing its breath from leaking at all!!"
In this way, the more Xu Ziling talked, the more excited he became, and he was still a little eager to try. He planned to fly down and take a closer look at the copper palace to see if there was really something hidden inside. The three masters and apprentices searched for half a night but couldn't find it. The legendary piece of 'He's Jade'.
And once it is determined, the next thing will be much easier to handle.
"Don't worry!"
"I just took a look, and the top, bottom, left, and right of the thing fit perfectly. I even tried to push the door, but there was nothing I could do. It seemed like it was locked from the inside, and there was no way to peek into what was inside."
"Unless we go all out to demolish it and directly blast open the copper door, otherwise we won't even think about getting in!"
Kou Zhong grabbed Xu Ziling, who was somewhat eager to try, and told him that he had already tried all kinds of unnoticed methods, and then he couldn't peek inside, let alone open the copper door. The truth was whispered.
"Just blow it away and kick it away?"
"That's not okay!"
"That thing is made of pure copper. Once you hit it hard and kick it, the noise it makes will probably be no less than the sound made by the thousand-pound copper bell behind us!"
"At that time, all the monks and eminent monks in the temple will definitely be awakened, and the situation will be very bad!"
Hearing what Kou Zhong said, Xu Ziling couldn't help but frown slightly, then he just thought about it for a moment and looked back at the big bronze bell on the bell tower where the two of them were, and then he had to sigh sadly and said .
"Of course I know!"
"If all the bald heads in the temple are awakened, it will be a big deal!"
"So, am I not here waiting for you and Master to come?"
"If I could really do that, I would have done it a long time ago!"
Kou Zhong explained with some annoyance, saying that he himself knew the importance of the matter, he had become a hero after all, and he also aspired to be an emperor, so how could he do so casually?
"That……"
"Where's the master?"
"How long have you been here and you haven't seen her here?"
"No!"
"I have been squatting here since I discovered this place, just waiting for you two to come!"
"??"
"But why is she so slow? Isn't that the case?"
"I have no idea!"
"Maybe she went back, maybe she's fast asleep somewhere?"
"ah?"
"Then what are we going to do?"
"What else can we do? Just wait!"
"If Master doesn't come, do you dare to go down and knock on the door?"
"K-knock?"
"Forget it, I don't dare to do it without Master!"
"What a coincidence, I don't dare either!"
"Then continue to wait and see?"
"nonsense!"
"What else can we do if we don't wait?"
"pity!"
"It seems that there is no keyhole in the bronze door. The special skills we learned from Yangzhou Shuanglong's Primary School are completely useless!"
"It's no use having a keyhole, there must be someone inside!"
"Too!"
"..."
that's all!
After discovering an extremely suspicious place but being helpless, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had no choice but to be patient and squat on the top floor of the bell tower, and began to chat and talk.
…
Then, I don’t know how long it took...
Dang! ! !
Very suddenly!
I don’t know what happened, but when Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were bored waiting, they started to bring up the topic of women on the bell tower of Jingnian Temple, the most important place of Buddhism, that is, Shan Wanjing, Huanwan, and Shi. When Fei Xuan, Shi Qingxuan, Song Yuzhi, Shan Meixian and other women were discussing who was the most beautiful and charming, suddenly, the sound of a bell suddenly sounded, and then both of them were shocked and almost died. Jump up!
"!!"
"Hello!"
"I'm talking about Ziling!"
"Why are you kicking that bronze bell when you have nothing to do?!"
"??"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
"It's really not me!"
"I don't!"
"Not you?"
"It can't be me, can it?"
"I have no idea!!"
Seeing the bell ringing and making a loud noise for no reason, the two of them immediately covered their ears and were shocked, and of course they started to blame each other.
Anyway, they didn't notice anyone coming up, nor did they hear any sound of breaking the air, and there were only two of them here, so they subconsciously thought that the other party accidentally touched or kicked them.
finally!
As the sudden loud noise spread throughout the Jing Nian Temple in the dead of night, it successfully caused the entire silent temple to jump and lights to light up, making the entire temple emit that lively noise. , that tight-fitting copper temple was finally opened by someone from the inside.
'Amitabha! ! '
Then, with a strange but solemn Buddhist chant that seemed to be caused by internal friction, a tall monk wearing cassocks opened the door and walked out slowly.
Through the gap in the guardrail of the bell tower, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling recognized the monk's attire almost at a glance. That person should be the man in the world who was said to have practiced silent meditation and had not spoken for twenty years. The most powerful Buddhist master I have ever experienced in Jing Nian Zen Monastery is the abbot, second only to the four great masters, Fan Qinghui and the four great divine monks - 'Master Liao Kong'!
The other person should be at least tens or hundreds of years old, but as the two of them looked at each other, they found that the other person was leisurely, elegant and reserved, with a beautiful face. No matter how you looked at it, you didn't think he was more than forty years old. It was hard to believe. That was an old monk who had become the abbot twenty years ago.
"..."
What's terrible is that while the other party slowly walked out and stood in front of the door of the Copper Palace, he actually put one hand on his chest and raised his head to stare at the bell tower where the two of them were standing without moving. It seemed that he could pass through. When I passed the wooden guardrail of the clock tower, I saw people crawling behind them.
Next!
They didn't know what the other party had done, but an invisible pressure came from far away, as if it were real. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who knew they had been exposed, couldn't help but feel waves of trembling and chills from the bottom of their hearts. , almost couldn't help but want to run away.
"What to do?"
"Young Master Zhong, all the monks in the Jing Nian Zen Monastery have been woken up now and will be surrounded soon. Do we want to run away now?"
Actually, forget about the invisible pressure from the empty monk. Xu Ziling thought he could handle it by gritting his teeth and enduring. However, those noisy people and footsteps were rushing here. What if they didn't run away? No chance.
Therefore, he had to ask in a hurry.
"of course!"
"I'm definitely going to run away!"
Without even thinking about it, Kou Zhong roared angrily.
"But!"
"Master hasn't come yet!"
"Are we really going to run away first?"
Then, Kou Zhong wavered again.
He had the intention to escape, but when he saw that his master had not appeared, even when the bell rang, he did not know what to do for a while.
"No wait!"
"We've been waiting here for so long and she hasn't shown up. Maybe she has already gone back!"
"Young Master Zhong!"
"Let's go!"
"It will be too late if you don't leave!!"
Gritting his teeth and looking around the Jingnian Temple, Xu Ziling panicked when he saw countless monks and soldiers holding torches hurriedly approaching from the Jingnian Temple, including some eminent monks. Kou Zhong urged loudly.
"!!"
"you're right!"
"Master, she doesn't need us to worry about her little family. Let's take care of ourselves first!"
"hurry up!"
"Let's run away!!"
Thinking of not only not stealing the treasure tonight, but also being exposed inexplicably, although his heart was on fire, and he didn't know which bastard hiding in the dark did the good thing, Kou Zhong couldn't care about so much at this moment, so he could only grit his teeth. Together with Xu Ziling, he performed the Qinggong Bird Crossing Technique in a certain direction and avoided some powerful bald donkeys, then hurriedly jumped down and escaped, preparing to escape from the Jing Nian Temple first before making other plans.
“….”
Seeing the two thieves retreating on their own initiative, the monk had no intention of chasing after him. He just watched the two people disappear into the dark corner of the attic pavilion of the Zen Temple in the distance, and then thought for a while, then He turned around slowly and indifferently, preparing to return to his copper palace to meditate.
But...
"!!"
As soon as he turned around, he was horrified to discover that the treasure that was originally placed in the brocade box on the stone platform in the Copper Palace, the jasper, the 'He's Bi' national jade seal that could bring peace to the world, was actually missing at this time. Vanished and disappeared without a trace?
Oops!
This is a plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain! !
With just one glance, Liao Kong roughly understood that he must have been deceived. He really shouldn't have opened the door and come out just now!
He was very sure that when he opened the door, the He Shibi was still lying there, and he himself had been standing at the door of the Copper Palace just now, not daring to leave without authorization and thinking that no one would be able to break through his defense... But now , then He Shibi disappeared without a trace for no reason, and when did it disappear without being noticed at all?
"!!"
Thinking of this, knowing that he had been brushed aside, unknown fire suddenly rose in his heart!
Then, after practicing silent meditation for twenty years and never uttering a word, he even used the miraculous inner power method to pronounce the Buddha's name. He finally spoke and looked into the distance, hesitating, not knowing whether he should go or not. The four great Dharma protectors of Jing Nian Temple who were chasing the enemy shouted:
"Amitabha!!"
"listen!"
"No doubt! No greed! No anger! No fear!"
"Be sure to stop those two little thieves! No mistakes!!!"
Liao Kong was actually quite sure that the Heshi Bi was definitely not stolen by those two thieves.
but!
But he was very sure: Those two thieves must know about it!
Because, just now, the other party deliberately made noise and used the sound of the bell to attract him to open the door and come out!
And the reason why the other party did that must be to create an opportunity for a certain 'big thief' who had some mysterious movement skills and couldn't even notice it when he was standing in front of the door, and took the opportunity to steal the He's Bi. ', there is no doubt about that!
Therefore, without knowing which master stole He's Bi and where he fled to, if they still want to recover He's Bi or obtain the whereabouts of He's Bi, they must bring those two The escaping thief must be caught and pressed for clues!
"F-Abbott!?"
"this!!"
"!!"
"yes!"
"Yes!!"
"quick!"
"Send signal!!"
"All disciples obey my order: At any cost, we must catch those two little thieves who dare to come to my Buddhist gate and run wild quietly!!"
The four great protectors of Jing Nian Monastery were first shocked and surprised that their presiding abbot took the initiative to break the 20-year silence. Then, they soon vaguely guessed what happened to make the abbot behave like that. Frustrated and filled with rage, he loudly ordered his disciples to start taking action. At the same time, they spread their wings like a giant roc, using the top light-body techniques of Buddhism. They pretended to be like a diamond with angry eyes and rushed towards Kou Zhonghe risklessly. Xu Ziling and the two men chased them in the direction they were escaping.
soon!
Groups of monks and soldiers holding sticks and sticks held torches high, shouting and shouting, forming like a fiery dragon. They rushed straight through the door of Jingnian Temple and chased down the mountain angrily, shouting and killing.
"!!"
"Ziling!"
"What's going on? Why don't those bald donkeys refuse to let you go?"
"How would I know?"
"It's not a good thing anyway!!"
Soon, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who originally thought it was just a wasted trip to alert the enemy, were horrified to discover that the monks in the Jing Nian Temple seemed to have lost their minds and directly dispatched at least hundreds or thousands of people. He also sent a signal to some monasteries at the foot of the mountain, so that countless people and torches came towards the two of them to surround them?
"Stop talking and run!!"
"Hello!"
"Slow down!"
"Wait for me!!"
