That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 757
This nave is made of agarwood, and the handwriting is not very penetrating, but the awe-inspiring sword intent is vivid on it.

Xu Beiyou looked up at the word Shangqing, and felt that the two characters were about to turn into two swords and jump down, and the sword energy was immersed in his heart, making it equally awe-inspiring.

After a long time, Xu Beiyou came back to his senses, turned his gaze away and began to look at the quiet room.The layout here is simple. Under the middle hall is a stone bed with a futon, and then there are three Taoist corpses half kneeling in front of the stone bed.

The Taoist on the left is dressed in a black Daoist Taoist gown. He looks about forty years old. He has three long beards and an old-fashioned face. He holds a golden token in his hand. On the token is a big "Chi" written in ancient seal script. Words, Xu Beiyou remembers that there is a magic weapon called Tianlei Zhengling in the Taoist sect, which is very similar to the token in front of him. It was personally refined by the first generation of Taoist masters after the Daoist Lord Yuqing, and it is very precious and expensive. There are only three tokens in the entire Taoist sect, but there is a long black crack on the token in the hands of the Taoist in front of him, which divides the word "Chi" representing the mighty power of the sky into two.

On the right is an old Taoist with white hair, white beard and white eyebrows, wearing an unusual apricot-yellow Taoist robe, with a kind face, holding a silver ring in his hand, engraved with many complicated talisman cloud patterns, it is also a famous treasure in Taoism, It is called the magic ring, which not only has the wonderful effect of trapping and arresting people, but also can travel thousands of miles to hurt people like a flying sword. However, this magic ring has not been spared, it has been cut off from it, and there is no spiritual energy, just like a dead thing .

In the middle is a young Taoist, with a star crown and feather clothes, sword eyebrows and star eyes, with endless immortality. Crouching, it seems that there is a thousand zhang glow inside, and there is a faint fire lingering outside it, and there are countless small seal characters faintly born in the fire light.

Xiaoguang Huowen Shenyin.

One of the fifteen seals of the Taoist sect under the seal of Dutian, together with the seal of Tianshi, the seal of Yangping Zhidugong, the seal of Zhidu Zongshe, the seal of Jiulaoxiandu, the seal of the Arctic canopy, the seal of killing ghosts in the North Pole, and the seal of the three-day emperor. The Seal of God, the Seal of Liujin Huoling, the Seal of Shenxiao, the Seal of Emperor Ying Tai, the Seal of Yushen Dongling, the Seal of Tiangang, the Seal of Fire Ling of Beidi, and the Seal of Thunder Dusi.

You must know that more than half of the fifteen seals of the Taoist sect have been ascended to the sky with the ancestors of the Taoist sect, and there are only a handful of them left in the world. Each of them can be called a treasure of the Taoist sect. Failed to hold one of them.

At this time, the Fang Xiaoguang Huowen Divine Seal was not directly damaged like the previous two, but it was also as if he had been severely injured, and his breath was weak.

Xu Beiyou looked at this scene and was silent for a long time.Although he did not recognize the identities of these three Taoists, the fact that these three appeared in the quiet room at the end of the passage instead of in the middle of the passage already showed that they were better than those Taoists who died in the passage , must be a well-known patriarch figure in the Taoist sect.

Xu Beiyou glanced at it from the corner of his eye, and suddenly found an old monk sitting cross-legged in the corner of the quiet room, wearing a black monk's robe and cassock, clasped his hands, and closed his eyes. All kinds of mysteries, and no sign of decay or decay, just sitting here quietly, like a silent and inconspicuous stone, not attracting attention at all, even Xu Beiyou failed to notice this old monk at the first time.

Xu Beiyou looked at the old monk, feeling a little puzzled in his heart, why there are people from the Buddhist sect mixed in among the many people from the Taoist sect, and since this old monk can also come to this quiet room, it means that he is a Not inferior to the existence of those three Taoists, he might also be a living Buddha during his lifetime.

Xu Beiyou suddenly saw that there seemed to be writing on the ground in front of the old monk, but it was mostly covered by the hanging black cassock. He stretched out his hand to pick up the old monk's cassock, and sure enough, three lines of characters appeared, with slightly thick strokes and deep strokes. The stone was extremely deep, obviously written with fingers, Xu Beiyou was amazed and admired, he could only leave a scratch with Zhu Xian, but this old monk was able to write messages on the ground with his fingers before dying, His realm is so profound and exquisite that he really doesn't know how far he has reached it.

I saw the three lines of words: "Under the order of the master, I came to this desperate situation with my friends from the Taoist sect. I have no choice but to participate in the good fortune of the seniors. I am not our capable enemy. It is a number of days to be buried here today." The inscription below is: "Huike's masterpiece."

Xu Beiyou stared at the name for a long time without saying a word.

Back then, he followed his master Gongsun Zhongmou on a trip to the Northwest, and he did not forget to read books on the way. The books he read were extremely complex, not only Confucian and Taoist classics, but also Buddhist scriptures. If his memory is correct, Hui Ke should be a third-generation disciple of Buddha The second generation patriarch of Buddhism.

He was proficient in Confucianism and Taoism in his early years, and he was familiar with Laozhuang and Zhuangzi Yixue. Later, he abandoned vulgar studies and escaped into Buddhism to become a monk.In order to seek the supreme Dharma, Lixue broke his arm and became a teacher of the Buddha.He has tried his best to fight against slander all his life. Although he has encountered many dangers and difficulties, he still insists on saying what is appropriate and spreads widely.When Emperor Wu destroyed Buddhism, he tried his best to turn the tide and protect the Dharma and monks.

These characters should have gone to the sky to become Buddhas and ancestors, but they never thought that they would fall here.

Xu Beiyou read this short sentence several times, and felt endless shock in his heart. Master Huike's master is naturally a disciple of the Buddha, and the one who accompanied the Buddha in many temples, since it is his order, it is almost It is the meaning of the Buddha, and Patriarch Huike is a senior with a very high seniority, isn't there only a few people in his mouth?
Among them, the only person related to Jianzong is Shangqing Daojun.

Xu Beiyou suddenly recalled a past incident. Back then, there was Daoist Sanqing in the Taoist sect, and Daoist Shangqing and Daoist Yuqing were at odds. However, Jun was angry and turned back to the Daoist sect. He overwhelmed 24 great masters with one sword, and came to the coast of the East China Sea with 30 swords on his back.

But now it seems that things are not as simple as in the legends. I am afraid that Lord Daoist Shangqing did not subdue the 24 great masters with a single sword, but was chased and killed by 24 masters all the way to this point. Beheading, presumably it was because Daoist Lord Shangqing was injured a lot in the battle at that time, so he was chased all the way here.

Looking at it now, the reason why the Taoist sect declined so quickly in the battle of swordsmanship, so that the Western Buddhist sect came from behind, should not only be because of the loss of a Daoist Lord of the Qing Dynasty, but also because of the loss of 24 Dazhengs. The real people are not the great real people of today, and those with the lowest cultivation level have the realm above the sixteenth floor of the earth immortal, and they all died here, even the Taoist sect with a large number of talents could not bear it.

However, Xu Beiyou didn't feel at all that his master's cultivation base was so shallow. Since people from the Buddhist sect also appeared here, it means that the Buddhist sect also participated in it back then.As for why Buddhism participated in the swordsmanship competition, the reason is self-evident. Back then, the Taoism was so powerful that it was difficult for the Buddhism to stand out.

Counting the Buddhas of the three generations of Buddhism in detail, apart from the Buddha in the central Posa world who can be juxtaposed with the Taoist ancestor, there are also the pharmacist king Buddha in the eastern pure glass world and the receiving Buddha in the western blissful world, so Xu Beiyou made a bold guess. , I'm afraid it's not as simple as the master facing two Daojun alone, but a situation of one jihad and four sages.

One against four, how magnificent it is.
