Soon, Zhao Qing arrived at a temple with "Wulu Temple" engraved on the door plaque. The architecture was exquisite and delicate, with the main hall, the Sutra Collection Hall, and the Lecture Hall arranged in sequence. On the east and west sides are the Bodhi Hall, wing rooms, and a cross-courtyard. The courtyard is filled with sparse flowers and trees, making it quiet and elegant.
This temple is not large in scale, but it is obviously full of incense. At this time, the middle door is wide open, and people come to make wishes and pray incessantly. Looking inside, there are crowds of people and fireworks filling the air, which shows Shi Zhixuan's in-depth management of his Buddhist identity.
No leakage is opposite to having leakage, which refers to the separation of worries. Bodhi, Nirvana and other dharma that can eliminate the troubles in the three realms are called "non-drainage dharma". At least one has to reach the realm of the Four Fruition Arhats before one can initially be "free from leaks" and attain the final "clearance of all leakages" among the six branches of Buddhism.
Shi Zhixuan once worshiped under Master Jizang of Jiaxiang of Sanlunzong and Master Daoxin, the fourth ancestor of Zen. He secretly learned Buddhist skills and pretended to be an eminent monk, which was like returning to his profession. He claimed that he spent most of his time practicing in seclusion and rarely had contact with outsiders. In fact, He often leaves the temple secretly to work.
Stepping into the temple, Zhao Qing sensed it and confirmed that the other party was not here now. There was no one in the abbot's room. It was speculated that it was because the Buddhist sect had begun to promote the "opening of the altar and lectures" in more than half a month in advance, clarifying the four holy monks. will come;
As the disciples of Master Jiaxiang and Master Daoxin, they were jointly hunted by the four holy monks. If any one of them happened to meet the eminent monk dressed as Shi Zhixuan, there is a high probability that the latter would recognize him as his disguise level. out.
In addition, according to Zhao Qing's investigation, in order to preserve his identity, which he has put a lot of effort into, Shi Zhixuan has recently declined various rituals, tried to reduce the flow of people without leaving a trace, downplayed his reputation, and began a months-long retreat. .
However, the skill and cultivation of the fake identity of "Dade Saint Monk" is about the level of a super master. It is impossible for him to go without food for a long time. Even taking into account the fact that he can use his own internal power to heat rice, every once in a while, We should also ask the monks from Wulu Temple to send a batch of food.
In fact, it is not ruled out that although Shi Zhixuan is not here now, he will return in the evening. After all, without going out, the abbot's room in Wuluo Temple is very safe and concealed, far better than ordinary residences.
So, how should we monitor the situation of Wulu Temple and confirm the time when he returns to the temple? Or should we start with Shi Zhixuan's other identity, "Doctor Youguanglu" and "Military Protector of Northern Tibet" Pei Ju, to conduct relevant investigations?
Speaking of which, Pei Ju tried to split the Turks during the period of the powerful Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty, which seemed to be a good thing. However, when Yang Guang came to power, he figured out that the other party was very happy with his success and intended to spread his power outside the territory and win over the barbarians. , so he resorted to clumsy ways to alienate;
First, he proposed to divide and weaken the power of Shibi Khan, the Turkic Shibi Khan who originally submitted to the Sui Dynasty, through the method of marriage, win over Shibi's younger brother to criticize Jishe, and then planned to kill Shibi's favored minister Shi Shuhu Xi. Therefore, Shibi Khan resented Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty. They gradually broke off diplomatic relations with the Sui Dynasty.
After trapping and killing Shi Shu Hu Xi, Yang Guang thought he had conquered the Turks and patrolled the northern border fortress. After receiving the secret information, he personally led tens of thousands of elite cavalry south to raid Yang Guang's troops, forcing Yang Guang to take refuge in Yanmen. .
Of the forty-one cities in Yanmen County, thirty-nine were captured by Shibi, and Yang Guang almost died. After this battle, the Turks no longer refused to surrender and had the desire to advance eastward, becoming the biggest disaster facing the Central Plains.
This incident that exposed the weakness of the Sui Dynasty was probably the result of Shi Zhixuan sending someone to secretly notify Shi Bi and teach him to lead the attack, thus causing the Turks to lure the wolves into the house, causing the Sui Dynasty to quickly fall towards destruction, and giving the Demon Sect an opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to rise.
According to Buddhist information, during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, people in the Demon Sect actively moved westward to establish foundations. Whether it was Zhu Yuyan, who colluded with the Tiele people, or Shi Zhixuan, who designed the overthrow of the Sui Dynasty, they all had Hu ancestry. Therefore, they did not care about national justice, but only Consider your own interests.
In this way, Pei Ju should not be Shi Zhixuan's original background, and it is most likely the result of him replacing him. After all, the Demon Sect has a tradition of cutting off secular connections, and it is unlikely to cultivate successors in a family like the Pei family in Hedong.
…
After a while, Zhao Qing came to the abbot's room of Wulu Temple. This room had a special design. Except for a large door, there were no half doors or windows. There was only a ventilation opening as big as a fist near the eaves. The four walls were sealed, and only the front door could be entered and exited.
The door knocker is sealed with an iron chain and copper lock, and it is a complex structure of a chain of double and double locks. Without the corresponding key, it is difficult to open it without damaging the chain.
But when she walked to the door of the abbot's room, the lock was unlocked in an instant. The thick wooden door opened and closed, and then the iron chain and copper lock returned to its original position, revealing Zhao Qing's superb true energy. External control capabilities.
After entering the room, the spacious Zen room was empty except for a futon. If you had not known that Shi Zhixuan was the great saintly monk, you would have thought that the great virtue lived up to his name and was indeed an out-and-out holy monk.
As the futon moved away on its own, a dark passage quickly appeared on the ground. It was originally locked by Shi Zhixuan from the inside with a half-foot-thick iron door bolt using a delicate mechanism. It was also unlocked for her through the wall panel. , did not play any role in hiding or blocking.
A stone staircase extends downward from the secret passageway under the futon, leading to a small secret room about ten feet square. It is arranged for dressing and disguise, and is equipped with mirrors, tables, chairs, and suitcases filled with all kinds of clothes.
If you proceed from the entrance of a five-foot-high secret passage on the east wall of the room, you can lead to a little-known stronghold of the Demon Sect, a study in the house across the street, thus achieving the purpose of sneaking away during Shizhixuan's retreat and meditation. Purpose.
Inferring that Shi Zhixuan would not return to the abbot's room in the short term, Zhao Qing did not leave this place. Instead, he picked up the heavy steel door latch, placed two fingers on it, and channeled the ever-changing yin and yang energy inside;
The Yin Qi flows forward and the Yang Qi flows backward, cooperating with each other and flowing endlessly. Every time it circulates, the true Qi passing through the door latch has the tendency to expand, covering its surface with a thick layer of white frost.
The ventilation system in the west area of Yang Gong's treasure house is located under Wulu Temple, and is closer to the tunnel under the abbot's room than other places. With her current level of skill and cultivation, it is not considered to be able to sense the terrain structure of the area below. A difficult question.
At this time, after studying the light and dark theory in "The Wisdom of the Roots of All Laws", Zhao Qing has made some progress in the light system and even the interference of zhenqi on electromagnetism. principle, to explore the situation underground.
As we all know, Yang Gong's treasury contains a large amount of ordnance and gold and silver jewelry. It was the base where Yang Su plotted a rebellion. It also has various organs. The amount of metal inside far exceeds that of conventional strata, and can naturally be detected by dynamically changing magnetic fields. Discover.
Just like modern ore exploration, the electromagnetic waves emitted by the detector are reflected or scattered through the magnetic or conductive equivalent charge properties of minerals. Based on these data, the size, depth, density and other physical properties of the ore body can be calculated.
For common magnetic materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt, the magnetic induction intensity will decrease at high temperatures and increase at low temperatures. This is because the thermal motion of molecules is weakened and the magnetic moment is more easily oriented by an external magnetic field, thus increasing the magnetic induction intensity.
When the heavy steel door latch was lowered to an ultra-low temperature through exercise, its magnetization reached an extremely astonishing level, and under the repeated changes of the yin and yang energy inside, a huge amount of current and corresponding magnetic field were formed.
Moving slowly along the secret passage space underground of Wulu Temple, Zhao Qing waited for Shi Zhixuan who might return at night. At the same time, he gradually drew the general structure of the underground Yang Gong's treasure house in his mind. Combined with the data in the original work, The total amount of ordnance and equipment inside was calculated.
It has to be said that Lu Miaozi's level of construction of Yang Gong's treasure house was high to a certain extent, and the tunnel excavation was beyond ordinary people's imagination. Not only could it connect the inside and outside of the city, but there was also an exit that led directly to the Yeting Palace where Yang Guang was at that time, and could even Arrive at the core of Daxing Hall and Imperial Garden of the Royal Palace.
Yang Jian was suspicious by nature and refused to trust others, so he secretly built a secret tunnel in and out of the palace, and it was known to Yang Su and Yang Guang. Increase their chances of success.
Yang Su was far-sighted, and how could he not guard against the repeatedly unreliable Yang Guang? Therefore, all Yang Guang knew was the underground passage connecting Yeting Palace and the secret passage into the palace. He did not know that there was another secret passage leading to the huge underground treasure house.
It doesn't make sense that Yang Gong's treasure house can make people conquer the world, but as long as we think about the current situation when Yang Su built the treasure house, if the elite soldiers took out the weapons from the underground treasure house and launched a sudden attack, there would indeed be a great chance to invade the palace and kill the people at that time. Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty.
…
About half an hour later, an inconspicuous-looking carriage stopped outside the wall of Wulu Temple, and a tall, thin, middle-aged man dressed as a scribe walked out of it.
This man has a white face and no beard, and is handsome and handsome. His eyes are like lightning when he opens and closes them. He stands proudly with his hands behind his back. He has a rather romantic, self-admiring and aloof appearance.
"According to the teachings of the ancestors of the Holy Sect, the two sects of the Demon Sect and the Six Paths must hold a gathering every twenty years to elect leaders. The last gathering was held fifteen years ago, and the sect leader was elected as the leader of the Holy Sect. Unfortunately, due to the chaos in the world, Although the sect master has become the head of the holy sect, he is only in name only."
"A few days ago, Zongzun received a secret letter saying that he had seen the 'Evil King' Shi Zhixuan haunting the Wulu Temple. Although the 'Great Virtue Holy Monk' sounds like an old bald donkey from Buddhism, logically speaking, It’s impossible to have anything to do with Shi Zhixuan, but just in case, I should come and test it out.”
The middle-aged man's broad sleeves slipped down, revealing that his right hand was holding a shiny silver round iron ring about a foot and a half in diameter. He glanced at a young and beautiful man who fell from the car to the wall with a ghostly movement. The woman said calmly.
"Senior Brother Bian, you should try to keep your voice as soft as possible, and don't alert the enemy. We are here just to investigate the situation at Wuluo Temple, and we will set up some traps by the way. If we really encounter Shi Zhixuan or the Four Great Saint Monks, we will The master must retreat immediately."
This girl is extremely tall, with long hair hanging down her back, reaching her buttocks. Her skin color is as good as snow, her black eyebrows are emerald green, and her peach cheeks are full of spring. She should not be over twenty-five years old when viewed vertically and horizontally, but she is yin. Wen Caiting, a veteran of the Gui sect.
And following Wen Caiting, another handsome and slender man in white as snow, about thirty years old, landed on the ground like a god, his eyes were slightly blue, and the corners of his mouth seemed to have a trace of tenderness forever. smile.
This man is actually holding two strange shields that are only two feet long, wide at the top and pointed at the bottom. The shield edges are as sharp as blades, and the shield surface is covered with spikes. The shiny golden shields and broad shoulders make people feel that he is like a sacred statue. Shanbi is not afraid of being easily knocked down by the enemy.
This strange-shaped weapon that has never been seen before is not only capable of attacking and defending, but it is also a weapon that can be used to attack difficult situations just by looking at it.
After hearing the speeches of "Mo Yin" Bian Fuhua and Wen Caiting, "White Robe and Golden Shield" Chang Shumou nodded and replied in a gentle voice:
"So what about the 'Evil King' Shi Zhixuan? Since Sect Leader Zhu has reached a cooperation with his master 'Flying Eagle' Qu Ao, as long as the treasure trove of Yang Gong is divided equally and we can get rid of the enemies blocking the treasure together, it won't be a big problem. .”
"Unless we meet the four great holy monks of Buddhism, Ning Daoqi, the great master of the Central Plains, or Zhao Qing, the 'Destiny Bow' who recently conquered Jiangdu, which force can stop our two families from joining forces?"
Knowing that most people in the world underestimated the strength of the "Evil King" because "Queen of Yin" Zhu Yuyan was ranked above Shi Zhixuan in the Demon Sect, Wen Caiting sighed and replied softly:
"'Nine Transformations of Condensation' and 'Thirteen Styles of Eagle Transformation' are famous beyond the Great Wall. Caiting has admired them for a long time, thinking that one day she can witness the power of her master. Uncle and nephew, I heard about you. He is the only one among the three great disciples of his master who has mastered the unique skill of condensation, I wonder what is so subtle about it?"
Although there was a possibility of encountering Shi Zhixuan in the near future, she was not prepared to tell the Tiele people the true situation before receiving the order from the sect leader. Instead, she adopted an attitude of taking advantage and used casual words to deal with it.
There is a companion who is good at using shields and is good at defense. Due to the heavy weapons, he is obviously inferior to his two companions on the road. Once he encounters danger, he can just go behind.
…
As the three masters approached the interior of Wulu Temple, Chang Shumou and Wen Caiting, who were less skilled, felt an inexplicable nausea. They licked their lips uneasily and felt a strange taste similar to metal.
Bian Zhao, who was walking at the front, landed on a green pine inside the wall and took a look. He was about to take out the incense used to stun the monks in the temple, but he soon had a similar feeling, and he couldn't help but feel vigilant in his heart. The thought of retreating.
Just when he was about to send a message to Wen Caiting behind him for discussion, he suddenly felt dizzy. His hands holding the silver ring suddenly loosened, and he couldn't hold the weapon he had been used to for many years. The double ring flew out from his hands and headed towards the abbot's room. go in the direction.
What "Destiny Bow"? I shot a few arrows with a giant crossbow and struck a few lightning strikes. Do you think I am using a bow? The current nicknames of Jianghu are really outrageous. Who came up with it? Wouldn't it be much better to change to "Arrow Determines Destiny"?
In the secret passage under the abbot's room, Zhao Qing, who had long been aware of the enemy's approach, secretly complained in his heart, knowing that the three opponents had gradually been affected by the strong magnetic field, causing physical abnormalities.
She didn't intend to leave the room because of a few minor characters. She just shook the iron door latch in her hand, causing the silver iron to circle around the wall for several weeks. It was quickly twisted into two iron rods by the huge force and flew out of the ventilation hole. Entered the room.
As she increased the power of the magnetic field and fine-tuned the direction, Bian Fulian was just shocked by the weapon flying out, and then heard the sound of branches breaking from behind. It turned out that it was Chang Shumou who had obtained Qu Ao's 80% true inheritance and was carrying double shields. , was pulled forward by the shield and fell down.
"'Heavenly Magic Field'? Why is it so weird? Retreat!" Wen Caiting, who had the lightest weapon, could barely control the traction on her sword. She was shocked in her heart and felt that she had encountered something she had never seen before. Something strange happened and you must escape immediately.
However, she still had a sweet smile on the surface, not showing any fear in her heart. She raised her slender hand slightly and shook out a golden dagger. Her body was fluttering, and the golden blade seemed to be attacking but not attacking, making it completely unpredictable. Was she going to challenge her opponent's sharpness, or was she going to retreat and move away.
