Legend of the Knight

Chapter 66 Books
"My lord, this is the "42 Chapters" that I borrowed from Shaolin Temple, please have a look."

This is an elegantly decorated living room. At first glance, there is nothing special about it. If you observe carefully, you can see that there is a small inscription on the lower left of the huge landscape painting screen in the living room, which reads "Tang Yin" Two words.

Now there are only three people in the living room, two of them are standing and one is sitting.

The one who was standing and talking was a tall, dark-skinned fan monk wearing a yellow inner and outer red monk's robe, and a bright yellow cockscomb hat. He was bending over flatteringly, holding a scripture wrapped in yellow satin Presented to another man in black with a black belt.

This monk speaks the Central Plains dialect very fluently, and he is not an ordinary monk, he is the Likong Dharma King of Dalun Temple in Tubo.

Likong Dharma King is the two great monks in Tubo who are also known as King Dalun Ming, and at the same time he is the national teacher of Tubo and the number one expert in Tubo. The person who can make him bend down to flatter him must be an even more extraordinary person.

After receiving the scriptures from King Likong, the man in black and with a black belt handed it over to the only person sitting upright in the hall. The man took the scriptures and flipped through them casually, then smiled at King Likong and said, "Master, thank you!" Work hard, please go to rest."

Dharma King Likong made a Buddhist salute to the man, then took his leave and left.

This "42 Chapter Sutra" was "borrowed" by King Likong when he came to Shaolin Temple to attend (uninvited) the Yulan Basin Dharma Assembly on July [-]th.

Before the start of the Dharma conference, in the name of exchange and learning, Dharma King Likong first presented Shaolin Temple with ten precious hand-written scriptures brought from Tubo, and then asked to change the "42 Chapters" by name.

Naturally, Shaolin Temple refused to agree, and Dharma King Likong showed off his martial arts again. He fought the three Shaolin monks with one manpower.

Of course, he didn't have the ability to 42v[-], but forcibly performed the [Dragon Elephant Prajna Kungfu], and fought against the three Shaolin monks with one move each, winning three battles and three victories, so he forcibly "borrowed" the "[-] Chapters" from Shaolin Temple. "Come out.

[Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu] is recorded in the "Dragon Elephant Prajna Kungfu", which belongs to the supreme dharma protection magic skill in Tubo Tantra. It is divided into thirteen layers.

Of course, the power of a dragon and an elephant must be bragging, and being able to have the strength of a horse is considered powerful, and you will have ten horsepower when you reach the tenth floor.

This is not small.

Many rural walk-behind tractors only have a few horsepower, and they can drag a trailer weighing several hundred kilograms uphill and over ridges. If this force is replaced by a pile driver, who can punch a person's body, who can resist it? live.

[Dragon Elephant Prajna Kungfu] also has its weakness, its long-term operation will bring a huge load to the body, it belongs to the kind of strange martial art that the higher the cultivation level, the shorter the life.

When Xiao Xiami created [Tiangang Wuji Kung Fu], he also referred to [Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu]. Of course, for [Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu], Xiao Xiami has some dislikes.

Xiao Xiami dislikes that [Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill] pressurization is too weak.

Only the thirteenth floor is interesting, if you want to do it, make a big move.

Therefore, Xiao Xiami's [Tiangang Promise Kungfu] has no upper limit, and the power can be as fast as it can run.

In fact, this is a set of inner skills tailored for players.

Because only the player can instantly pressurize to dozens of layers; and the player can use blood to resist damage, and the ability to resist pressure is extremely strong; finally, the player can release the pressure instantly and stop in an instant without inertia.

This is the fundamental reason why there hasn't been another little shrimp in the past hundred years since [Tiangang Promise Art] was handed down.

Because no matter how the aborigines practice, they can't retract and release freely like Xiao Xiami, either because they don't pressurize enough, or they practice until their meridians explode.

The same is true for 【Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique】.

Every time you use [Dragon Elephant Wisdom Skill] to pressurize to the limit, it will cause a great burden on the body.

In order to "lend" this "42 Chapters", Dharma King Likong really paid "blood money", at least a few months of life was lost.

This book was requested by the prince by name.

During the short half month from Shaolin Temple all the way to the south of the Yangtze River, Likong Dharma King also read the "42 Chapters" over and over ten times, removed the cover of the book more than once, and even cut the thin pages from the book with a sharp knife After a few pages, I didn't find anything strange.

If the "42 Chapters" is an ordinary Buddhist scripture, it must be an insult to the wisdom of Dharma King Likong.

Because regardless of the attitude of the prince or the Shaolin Temple, there must be some secret hidden in the "42 Chapters".

It's a pity that Dharma King Likong couldn't find out what the secrets in the scriptures were, so he could only choose to hand over the "ordinary" "42 Chapters" to the prince willingly.

After King Likong went out, the prince sitting in the hall reached out and touched the mechanism on the armchair, and then the wall behind him opened, revealing a secret room.

The prince picked up the Buddhist scriptures wrapped in yellow silk and walked into it, followed by those in black clothes and belts.When the two entered the secret room, the wall closed again, and the empty hall fell silent.

This secret room is relatively spacious, with a dark window on the top for ventilation, but the indoor lighting is all based on a few huge whale oil candles.

The secret room is neat and tidy, full of rows of bookshelves, and the bookshelves are full of all kinds of books and albums.

Two of the four walls are covered with various paper strips. On the wall facing the door, there is a huge map of the whole country, which is hand-sewn with high-quality dyed silk thread and enlarged in proportion Map of Beichou].

There is also a table in the corner of the secret room, and there are several chairs and stools beside the table, which makes the whole secret room more like a study.

Seeing the prince coming in, the two maids rushed to greet him, but after not getting the order, they stepped back slowly and stood silently in a corner of the secret room.

This secret room is the prince's secret war room.

It contains all kinds of information collected over the past ten years, including mountain and river exploration, river trends, people's livelihood and folk customs, rosters of large households in various places, and various materials of Korean and Chinese officials and local officials.

The two maids in the secret room were originally two sisters, and they hadn't gone out in the secret room for three years.

The prince's promise to them is to accept them to fill in the house after five years, so they are also willing to stay in this secret room wholeheartedly.

This prince is Cheng Wang, who is known as a virtuous king.

King Cheng turned around and sat on a comfortable wide chair, and opened the "42 Chapters" in his hand. Although this book looks the same as other scriptures on the surface, King Cheng knows that there is a big secret hidden in it.

And there is no doubt at all, it can be said with certainty that Dharma King Likong has definitely tampered with this "42 Chapters".

"My lord, will this scripture be dropped by that foreign monk?" The man in black and black belt asked Cheng Wang cautiously.

This black-clothed and black-belt man is called Bai Jiuchi (a character template provided by a scammer), and his character is Pan Ran. He is five feet six inches tall, with a white face and no beard. He is a big confidant of King Cheng. Wang's Zhuge Kongming.

It's just that this person has the wisdom of Zhuge Kongming, but he doesn't have the wisdom of Zhuge Kongming. Although he is extremely smart, he can't accomplish great things.

"He still doesn't dare." Cheng Wang smiled and opened the scriptures casually, and said to Bai Jiuchi: "The first thing that monk wants is for me, and the other is that he doesn't know what is in the book, so at best he wants to find something. Find out what we want this scripture to do.

As for the heart of exchange, he doesn't even know what we are using this scripture for, so how dare he exchange it at will? "

Bai Jiuchi bowed his head and nodded, humbly accepting the instruction.

Although Bai Jiuchi's work plan can be arranged seamlessly, he also has a bad habit of staff members, making decisions without making decisions, making decisions without stopping, and it is easier to fall into an endless loop of fighting against himself.

Therefore, Bai Jiuchi is King Cheng's number one counselor, but he can only stay by King Cheng's side to advise him, and he has no ability to act alone.

In other words, who knows whether Bai Jiuchi's "inability to stand on his own" is because he really doesn't have this ability, or if he pretends it on purpose.

People can't be too smart, they have to have some shortcomings.

……

"Bring a brazier." King Cheng ordered while flipping through the scriptures.

After a while, a maid carried a very hot brazier and placed it in front of King Cheng.

King Cheng looked at the orange-red and blue-green flames in the brazier, and he threw the "42 Chapters" in his hand into the brazier.

"My lord!" Bai Jiuchi screamed when he saw Cheng Wang throwing the "42 Chapters" that he had obtained so hard into the brazier, and then felt that he was too rude, so he restrained his emotions again.

"Pan Ran." Cheng Wang looked at the brazier and said to Bai Jiuchi: "Do you think your judgment will be wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Jiuchi said firmly, "There must be nothing wrong."

King Cheng smiled again and said, "Then Bei Chou's information may be wrong."

After Bai Jiuchi heard this, he thought about it, and said to King Cheng: "As far as the current verification is concerned, in the past ten years, Bei Chou has never said that he missed anything."

In King Cheng's war room, the most stored information is the information collected by King Cheng on Bei Chou in the past ten years.

Although King Cheng is not qualified as "Weipi", he is qualified to acquire Beichou's information from "Weipi".

After listening to Bai Jiuchi's words, King Cheng nodded and said, "Since there is nothing wrong, Dharma King Likong also spent nearly half a month with this scripture day and night, but he didn't find any abnormalities, which shows that this thing is deeply hidden.

Only fire can make it appear. "

Bai Jiuchi nodded in admiration.

It cost more than [-] taels of silver and a short quota of "vassal princes" to invite Likong Dharma King to Shaolin Temple to forcibly "borrow" this scripture.

However, King Cheng has always been generous in his work. After ruling out other possibilities, he threw the scriptures that cost so much into the fire. It can be seen that King Cheng has great trust in his own judgment, and at the same time, King Cheng is extremely decisive in his actions.

After King Cheng threw the scripture in his hand into the brazier, the vigorous charcoal fire instantly devoured the scripture.

After a while, when the charcoal fire was small, King Cheng casually picked up the tongs next to the brazier and pulled it in the basin, and then he gently squeezed something out of the fire.

"It's really there!" Bai Jiuchi couldn't help exclaiming when he saw King Cheng pick up the thing, although he had expected it in his heart.

Just looking at this object, it is one inch square, as thin as a cicada's wing, but it is not transparent. It is not gold or stone to the touch, but it is not destroyed by fire.

This is the [Temple Key] mentioned in Beichou's intelligence.

The information about the key to the temple was repeatedly reviewed and extracted by Bai Jiuchi from a large amount of Beichou information.

The key to the sanctuary can be divided into two. At the beginning, Nanxian and Beichou each held half. This object has the characteristic of [indestructible].

But since Little Xiami, no one has seen the key of the sanctuary again, so the legend about the sanctuary has gradually become a fairy tale just like a fairy tale.

Today, the key to the sanctuary is so real in front of you, which means that Xiao Xiami, the door of the sanctuary, and the world of the sanctuary all exist.

Bai Jiuchi felt dizzy for a while.

There really is a "heavenly world"!
Being able to memorize the North Chou's information for more than ten years, and deduce the location of the key of the temple from it, Bai Jiuchi naturally understands what the "Holy Temple" is.

The Tianlong Sect far away in the Western Regions has always regarded the "sacred hall" as the kingdom of heaven, and the "gate of the holy hall" is the gate of the kingdom of heaven. The martial arts people in the Central Plains have always ridiculed the ignorance of the Tianlong Sect. It turned out that they were right: the holy hall is really beyond the sky. skyline.

Thinking of this, Bai Jiuchi suddenly became excited. If he could get the complete key of the temple, he would be able to let the prince enter the outer world.

According to Beichou's information, the immortals in the outer world can travel thousands of miles in a day, send their voices and shadows, and even go to the sky and enter the earth, destroying the world with a single gesture.

If the prince has learned the skills of an immortal, wouldn't he be able to get the dragon position at his fingertips.

Originally, when King Cheng asked Bai Jiuchi to study the information on Beichou, Bai Jiuchi still had a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart. He felt that watching the strange stories from more than ten years ago would not be helpful to the current prince.

Since it was the order of King Cheng, although Bai Jiuchi was a little dissatisfied, he still sank his mind and spent three full months studying the Beichou intelligence of the past ten years.

At this time, Bai Jiuchi discovered an important clue.

This matter still has to start from the Western Regions War for more than ten years.

According to the records in "Memoirs of Bei Chou", when the key of the sanctuary is close to the door of the sanctuary, there is no need for other actions, and there will be an automatic induction between the two.

A half key can only "wake up" the door of the sanctuary, that is, "activate" in the original text, and only a complete key can open the door of the sanctuary.

Fifteen years ago, after the activation of the gate of the temple, there happened to be an earthquake, and a crack was torn open on the top of the underground palace.

The white light from the door of the sanctuary passed through the gaps in the underground palace to the surface, where it was discovered by passing caravans.

Afterwards, the caravan reported the news to the Tianlong Sect, and after a field inspection, the people of the Tianlong Sect announced that the place where the white light came out was a miracle.

Bai Jiuchi deduced from it that there must have been at least half a key "inserted" on the door of the temple at that time.

Finally, in order to compete for this land of white light, the six major factions and the Tianlong Sect fought a bloody battle.

In the end, in the collapse of heaven and earth, the Thunderbolt Hall, the underground palace, the gate of the holy hall, countless elites of the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Central Plains Wulin people were wiped out.

After the war, both the Central Plains Wulin and the Tianlong Sect were severely injured, and the Central Plains Wulin people withdrew from the Western Regions. Thousands of people from the Tianlong Sect started excavating the remains, claiming to excavate and properly house the remains of the Tianlong Sect and the Central Plains Wulin people.

Because the temple key has the characteristic of [indestructible], if there is a temple key, then the temple key must be in the hands of Tianlong Cult.

At that time, the Tianlong Cult was in the power of the Heavenly King. If the key of the temple fell into the hands of the Tianlong Cult, then it should be in the hands of the Heavenly King.

Ten years ago, that is, the fifth year after the Thunderbolt Hall War, the Central Plains School suddenly received a gossip that the Heavenly King left the Western Regions Diocese to go to the Central Plains alone.

After learning the secret information, the three Shaolin monks Wuyin, Wushi and Wuhui teamed up with other martial arts righteousness, and they formed a team to ambush by the roadside. Sure enough, the king who was alone came.

After a fierce battle, the Heavenly King was captured and imprisoned in Shaolin Temple.

In this battle, the Central Plains martial arts can be said to have won a complete victory, but what they did not expect was that after the succession of the Dragon King, the younger brother of the Heavenly King, the Tianlong Cult changed from the previous gentle preaching, and became extremely radical.

The Heavenly Dragon Cult poses a greater threat to the Central Plains martial arts than when the Heavenly King was in power.

At this time, everyone finally understood that the great victory of the Central Plains martial arts was just used by the Dragon King, who used them as a tool to eradicate the Heavenly King.

For the next four years, the Heavenly King was imprisoned in the Shaolin Temple, and the Shaolin Temple got dizzy several times due to this incident.

For the Heavenly King, it is impossible to kill, not to kill, to imprison, or to release. Shaolin Temple just got itself a hot potato that can't be thrown away.

When Tian Wang was imprisoned in the Shaolin Temple, he also often read Buddhist scriptures to cultivate his morality, and he read the most is this "42 Chapters".Therefore, if the king of heaven wants to hide the key of the temple somewhere, there is a high probability that it will be in this "42 Chapters".

This is the clue that Bai Jiuchi deduced from Beichou's intelligence. After he reported to King Cheng, King Cheng took action immediately.

Another month later, the key to the sanctuary appeared in front of Bai Jiuchi alive, which gave Bai Jiuchi a feeling.

King Cheng is really a man of God's help, how can this great cause not be accomplished?
