Water flooded the Buddha's knees, and fire burned Lingyun Cave.
Lingyun Buddha is located on the east bank of the Minjiang River, next to Lingyun Temple, near the confluence of the Dadu River, Qingyi River and Minjiang River. The Big Buddha is a seated statue of Maitreya Buddha, more than twenty feet high.
In ancient times, three rivers converged at the foot of Lingyun Mountain, and the water was so fierce that boats were often overturned. During summer floods, the river flows directly into the mountain walls, often causing tragedies of shipwrecks and fatalities.
In addition, Huo Qilinxi has been sleeping in Lingyun Cave. Whenever there is a flood, he comes out to cause trouble, murders and arson, and the surrounding people complain.
Later, after careful observation, Zen Master Haitong mobilized believers to mobilize manpower and material resources to build and carve out the giant Buddha in order to reduce the water potential and prevent it from disturbing Huo Qilin's sleep.
Because fire unicorns often come out to harass, the craftsmen are afraid of death and dare not work as long as the water is strong. As a result, the construction of the Buddha statue began in the early years of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. When the Buddha reached its shoulders, monk Haitong died.
After Haitong's death, the project was temporarily suspended. Many years later, Zhangqiu Jianqiong, the military governor of Xichuan in Jiannan, donated his salary. Haitong's apprentices led the craftsmen to continue building the Buddha. Because the project was huge, the imperial court ordered a hemp salt tax, which made the project progress rapidly.
When the Lingyun Buddha was repaired to its knees, Zhangchou Jianqiong, the successor to the construction, moved to the post of Minister of Household Affairs, and the project was stopped again. Forty years later, Wei Gao, the governor of Xichuan in Jiannan, donated his salary to continue the construction.
Thanks to the efforts of three generations of craftsmen, it took ninety years until the 19th year of Emperor Dezong's reign in the Tang Dynasty to complete the construction of the Buddha.
...
Duanlang and his group got off the boat and looked up at the huge Buddha statue, fascinated.
The giant Buddha has a blue sky above its head and a foot on the earth. It is majestic and inviolable. It can hold up even if the sky falls.
Tall, majestic, and majestic, such a giant Buddha as big as a mountain was actually carved bit by bit by tiny humans.
As time goes by, the greatness of mankind seems to have always been in every small step. As long as the direction is correct, future generations will eventually achieve a new great achievement.
Yu Chuchu, whose face was accidentally swollen by Bu Jingyun, was left on the boat, and several people slowly walked to the foot of the Buddha.
Duan Lang and Nie Feng quickly bowed respectfully.
People still need to be in awe.
Duanlang clasped his hands together and prayed: "Maitreya Buddha, please bless me with good luck in the future."
He might not have believed in these things before, but when the talking Le Ye appeared in front of him and brought about so many changes, he believed it.
The key point is that he is still in the developmental stage. If a person is unlucky enough to meet an extremely strong person who finds him uncomfortable, and if Le Ye's 55-year-old magic skill doesn't work, wouldn't he be in trouble?
Hey, where is my Le Ye?
"Haha! You can't get the country by begging or crying!" Bu Jingyun stood aside, folding his arms and sneering.
Duan Lang became angry, turned around, pointed at this guy, and said unceremoniously: "You won't be arrogant for long. When I complete my magical skills, I will beat you to your knees and beg for mercy."
Bu Jingyun twisted his mouth and chuckled: "The enemy who is defeated by me will never be regarded as my opponent. I will give you time to catch up until you are out of sight."
"You!" Duan Lang immediately clenched his fists to let him know why the flowers were so red.
"Duan Lang!" Nie Feng hugged him: "Forget it, forget it, give me some face."
"Senior Brother Yun!"
Seeing Nie Feng speaking, the two looked at each other, snorted coldly, and turned their heads.
"snort!"
…
After worshiping the Buddha, Duan Lang and the two found the entrance to Lingyun Cave, which was bottomless and deep.
It is said that this place is the lair of the ferocious beast Fire Qilin. It is so complicated that ordinary people cannot find a way out. In the end, they will either be swallowed by the Fire Qilin or starve to death alive.
"As the saying goes, if you want to see people alive and see corpses if you die, one day I will go in and find out!" Duan Lang looked at the entrance of the cave and swore.
Nie Feng nodded in agreement, equally unconvinced.
"I also want to see how powerful that monster that is covered in fire is!"
Bu Jingyun leaned against the entrance of the cave with his arms folded and the corner of his mouth crooked: "What kind of monster?"
I would like to see him swallow the Nanlin Sword Head and Beiyin Kuangdao one after another. "
After saying that, he looked into the entrance of the cave, pondered for a moment, and did not move.
Duan Lang and the others didn't care about him, and simply used their fists to hammer out two large pits at the entrance of the cave to make a tomb.
As a son of man, of course he must erect a monument.
"Duanlang, where is your sword? Let's carve another monument." Nie Feng asked.
To carve words on a monument with bare hands requires mastering the internal energy to an extremely fine level, and he was not good at the key hand skills.
"Nie Feng, I accidentally broke the sword you gave me. I'm sorry. But I can carve a monument without the sword."
After apologizing, Duan Lang picked up a piece of bluestone taken from the mountain. Without using any internal force, he pressed the bluestone with his fingers and wrote freely.
Nie Feng looked sideways and marveled.
"Duanlang, I didn't expect that after only half a year of seeing you, you would actually practice Henglian Kung Fu. However, although Henglian martial arts can temporarily improve your strength, it will seriously damage your vitality. You must pay attention to making up for it and recuperating hidden injuries.
How about I help you find a miracle doctor when you return to Tianxiahui in a while? "
The most important thing for a strong martial artist is actual combat, and Duanlang, a handyman disciple, can win consecutive battles on the martial arts stage, naturally because he has competed with him since childhood. That's why Duanlang was so confident in defeating Bu Jingyun before.
Unexpectedly, it was not martial arts that defeated him, but reality.
"No, I know it well. But thank you anyway!" Duan Lang sincerely thanked Nie Feng.
Only when you have experienced troughs can you truly understand how rare and important a friend like Nie Feng is and such a good person.
It was the only light in the darkness.
It’s rare to have a close friend in life!
Bu Jingyun curled his lips.
Actually went to learn Heng Lian Wushu? Wither tricks, short-sighted! No matter how strong your body is, can you withstand his Cloud-Repelling Palm blow?
A handyman is a handyman!
After setting up the monument, Duan Lang and Nie Feng knelt down, kowtowed, burned paper, and remembered the past.
Only at this time can they express their grievances and dissatisfaction to their father just like they did when they were children.
"Dad, the child is unfilial and has not yet regained his reputation. But you have to believe me, in a few years I will definitely get back the glory that belongs to me as the best sword in the world.
When the time comes, I will let everyone in the world know that I, Duan Lang, am the successor of the new generation of the best sword in the world! "
"Tsk~" Bu Jingyun couldn't help laughing.
"Why are you laughing? I've tolerated you for a long time, and you've been laughing at me, and you haven't stopped!" Duanlang finally couldn't help it, got up and got angry, and was about to rush forward and flatten the person.
With his current strength, let alone Bu Jingyun, even Qin Shuang would only be able to punch one more punch. It's just that he was worried about Xiong Ba's suspicion, so he didn't have anything to do.
Nie Feng is not included because he will never take action against Nie Feng.
"Senior Brother Yun?" Nie Feng was a little dissatisfied.
Bu Jingyun said helplessly: "I'm sorry, I just thought of some happy things."
"Hmph!" Duan Lang snorted coldly: "You are too arrogant. Didn't your father teach you that the dead are the most important? Or do you have no father at all?"
"Shut up!" Bu Jingyun was furious: "How dare you comment on my father? You don't want to live anymore, do you?"
"Haha!" Duanlang said happily.
Of course, the most enjoyable thing about this curse is when someone breaks the defense.
"Duan Lang! Stop saying a few words." Nie Feng stepped forward to stop him, then turned around and said, "Senior Brother Yun, give me a thin face, don't argue with him."
Bu Jingyun pushed him away: "How dare you speak out bravely despite being defeated? Let me wake you up today!"
"Overwhelming!"
Suddenly, wind and clouds surged around him, and his momentum was overwhelming. After accumulating momentum, his next move would be an overwhelming attack, and his palm power would be as powerful as an overwhelming force.
Duan Lang remained motionless, standing still and raising his hand.
"Seven points come from hard work!"
In an instant, the vitality of heaven and earth gathered together and was quickly in his hands
Condensed into a particle of vitality, rotating slightly without revealing any breath.
Although it looks small, in this case, the power becomes more powerful and terrifying.
Nie Feng saw that the two of them had finished their momentum. If he interrupted them forcefully at this time, the two of them would suffer backlash. He gritted his teeth and simply stood between them.
"Kill!" Bu Jingyun was about to strike hard when he saw Nie Feng in front of him. His expression was startled, and he quickly raised his hand and hit Dahe next to him with a palm.
"Boom boom boom!"
There are waves everywhere.
Duan Lang snorted coldly and waved his hand, and the small ball of vitality in his hand dissipated invisible and turned into a breeze.
A trace of surprise flashed in Jingyun's eyes after such a slight loss of control, and then he curled his lips. Only then did he realize that this guy had been bluffing, which was why he lost his strength so easily.
"snort!"
Cunning guy!
Nie Feng also breathed a sigh of relief.
If any one of them didn't take action just now, he would definitely die, but luckily there were no irreversible consequences. The two of them will never be allowed to meet again in the future!
"Thank you, Senior Brother Yun!"
Bu Jingyun snorted coldly, turned around and left directly.
Nie Feng smiled and knew that this matter was in the past. He quickly came to Duanlang's side, hugged his shoulders, smiled to comfort him, thought for a while and said:
"Duanlang, I want to make an agreement with you. Since my father and your father disappeared in Lingyun Cave on the same day, and the tombstones are still buried together, why don't we agree to come together to pay homage on this day every year in the future. "
"good!"
Duan Lang smiled proudly at Bu Jingyun.
Nie Feng only got close to himself and even talked to himself. From now on, he would come to play with him on this day every year.
happy!
"Huh!" Bu Jingyun snorted louder.
"Bah, bah~" Hearing the strange sound, the three of them looked at the little yellow cat that suddenly appeared on Duanlang's shoulder.
Seeing so many people looking at him, Miao Le's chewing voice gradually became quieter.
As an introverted and socially anxious kitten, this scene really made him a little panicked.
"Le Ye, what are you eating?"
Duanlang was a little curious, and saw that the kitten was holding a vine on its paws, with several fruits hanging on it. They were as red as blood, shaped like bodhisattva, and emitted a strange fragrance.
The little yellow cat calmed down for a while and suddenly remembered something: his social fear is to make society fearful, and his introversion makes others introverted!
I'm afraid of these little bastards?
"Bah chi, bah chi~"
While Duanlang was still thinking, the little yellow cat almost ate the fruit.
"Master Le, isn't this the legendary rare and rare fruit that can only be found in Lingyun Cave, which can cure serious injuries and increase power without injury?"
Duanlang swallowed a sip of water and stared eagerly with his eyes wide open.
Miao Le was startled, his mouth was stuffed, his big eyes were a little dazed, and then he shook his head.
"Meow~"
[A few dishes, picked up from the cave, taste good, want some? 】
"Okay, okay!" Duanlang happily took the two fruits handed over by Meow Claw.
Just as he was about to stuff it into his mouth, he thought for a moment, picked up Nie Feng's hand and put one in his mouth.
"Nie Feng, Blood Bodhi, have a taste."
Nie Feng took it with a smile and put it in front of his eyes for a closer look. Sure enough, it was very similar to the Blood Bodhi recorded in the Tianxiahui classics.
"Haha, any wild fruit picked up from the roadside is called "Blood Bodhi", be careful of poisoning! "Bu Jingyun next to him swallowed secretly and continued to taunt.
Duanlang curled his lips and threw it directly into his mouth. Instantly, his whole body glowed with red light, and powerful essence flowed to his limbs and eight bones.
I've become stronger!
Nie Feng didn't hesitate and took it directly. His face turned red and he quickly sat cross-legged and meditated.
"Bah chirp, bah chirp."
Bu Jingyun on the side was dumbfounded, watching helplessly as the little yellow cat ate up the last bit of vines and leaves, but hesitated to speak.
A few days ago, there was a gathering in the world
A group of assassins, but their martial arts were too poor and they were directly captured by Xiongba and handed over to him for interrogation.
From the assassin's mouth, he learned his true identity.
He was born in Bujia Village, Hangzhou. His father, Bu Yuanting, was a swordsmith. He died in another place. His mother and her son Bu Jingyun remarried to the Huo family and changed their name to Huo Jingjue. Huo Butian regarded him as his own son, but because he refused to be recruited by Xiong Ba, the Huo family was wiped out.
So the man he called his master for twenty years turned out to be the enemy who destroyed his whole family!
He wants to become stronger, until he can kill Xiong Ba with his own hands to take revenge! This person who dominates can only die by his own hands!
After a moment, Nie Feng stood up slowly, a red light seemed to flash in his eyes, and slapped Duan Lang on the shoulder.
"Thanks!"
"Thank you too, Mr. Le!"
"Meow~"
[In the future, I will give birth to a daughter for me to play with! 】
Bu Jingyun felt the sudden surge of momentum from Junior Brother Feng, and naturally knew that his skill had greatly increased. Now his strength was unfathomable. He hesitated for a moment and asked.
"Duan Lang, this Blood Bodhi actually has such magical effects, why don't you let me, the cat, find a few more?"
"No!" Nie Feng said directly, then looked serious.
"Senior Brother Yun, the monsters in this cave may rush out at any time, we must not take any more risks!"
Back then, he watched helplessly as his father was dragged into the cave by the fiery beast. He was the best swordsman in the world, and he didn't have the slightest strength to fight back.
Bu Jingyun was startled, turned around, looked at the deep and endless cave, and hesitated.
There is a chance for him to take revenge as soon as possible, but it is also possible that today next year will be the anniversary of his death.
"Moreover, Senior Brother Yun, I hope you can keep today's matter a secret, and don't say anything even if Master asks." Nie Feng walked up to Bu Jingyun and spread out his hands. There was exactly half a Blood Bodhi left in it.
This is the only thing he can do to protect his brother now.
Bu Jingyun raised his head and looked at Nie Feng, Duan Lang, and Xiao Huangmao with a somewhat lonely expression. It was obvious that he and Nie Feng were the closest brothers!
A good while.
Picking up half of the Blood Bodhi, Bu Jingyun flicked his cloak and walked away directly on the waves.
Nie Feng breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and smiled at Duan Lang.
