Buddha Immortal

Chapter 13 Ancient Lotus Monument

Tang Yanran and the other seven continued on their way, killing four pirates along the way, including a mid-stage pirate.It is worth mentioning that Guo Lingchan has made great contributions almost every time. He either took it by surprise or cooperated with Tang Yanran skillfully. The two formed a very high tacit understanding in the battle. The six people in the team admired his battle very much. consciousness.

Although they killed the mid-stage pirate, they also paid a price. The two were seriously injured, Guo Lingchan was punched in the shoulder, and everyone except Tang Yanran was also injured.

Both seriously injured students were taken to the hospital for treatment.

The five of them had entered the core area of ​​the island at this moment, and they could only see things within half a meter. The number of pirates was also decreasing. According to statistics, seventeen pirates had been killed.

These pirates specifically picked the students behind to attack, and they also knew that the veterans rushing forward were not easy to mess with.

"Everyone be careful, two pirates are coming!" Guo Lingchan whispered into the voice intercom.He has keen hearing, and he heard two kinds of footsteps, one light and one heavy, approaching quietly. According to his experience, the light footsteps are most likely from a mid-qi environment master, and it seems that there is another tough battle.

No, it's coming at me!
Guo Lingchan has repeatedly killed pirates in battle, which has caused the pirates to list him as their primary target.

Although his eyesight is limited, but relying on his hearing, he can easily shuttle through the evil spirit. He knew that he would never be able to stop a round, so he hurriedly fled.What makes him a little depressed is that the two pirates calculated very accurately. In order to prevent him from meeting with the other four students, the heavy-footed one deliberately inserted from the middle. If he dared to move closer to Tang Yanran's direction, it would be just He fell into the trap of pirates.

The masters in the middle stage of Qi Realm are quite terrifying, their explosive power and speed far exceed Guo Lingchan's by a large margin. If he hadn't used the evil spirit to cover him, he would have been overtaken by the pirates behind him.

Thinking that there might be other student teams on the right, he deliberately ran to that side.

With his keen hearing, he quickly locked onto the sound of footsteps.

Guo Lingchan was overjoyed, and immediately fled there. When he got close, he secretly yelled, it turned out to be the team led by Liu Tongtian.

Liu Tongtian was also a little surprised, he didn't expect to bump into Guo Lingchan, and the most wonderful thing was that the kid was chasing after a mid-stage pirate, it was God helping me, he thought darkly, the corners of his mouth pulled There was a smirk.

It seems that it is impossible to use the team led by Liu Tongtian to resist the big pirates who are chasing after them.

He was also decisive, and immediately turned around and ran towards the center of the island, which was also his only way of life.

Although he is already a master at the early stage of the Qi Realm, the consumption of his physical energy by running at such a high speed with more than 50 kilograms of equipment is still very terrible. He felt that his physical strength had declined sharply, and he even appeared out of breath.Guo Lingchan was secretly worried, he had regained a new life, and he cherished life even more.

While running, Guo Lingchan took off the heaviest protective clothing and threw it away without hesitation. His body relaxed a lot, and his speed instantly increased a lot.

Suddenly, he was taken aback, and the ruins of an old building appeared in front of him. This is a mountain gate, almost completely hewn out of huge stones, but due to the age, only a rotten frame remains, and the writing on it has long since disappeared. It seems to be consistent with what he guessed. The same, there was really a monk temple built here.

The footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, he immediately passed under the broken mountain gate without thinking too much, and ran all the way, there was a huge shadow in front of him, and when he got closer, he realized that it was a half collapsed mountain gate. Layers of the pagoda.

"Boom bang bang..."

Not far from the pagoda, there were endless clashes, strong winds, and broken stones splashing from time to time. Guo Lingchan heard Lieutenant Mo's roar, and he was shocked. He was really good at fighting Lieutenant Mo like this. , Nine out of ten are also a strong artistic conception.

A strong man of this level would be able to argue if he was scratched. There would be chasing soldiers behind him, and strong men would fight in front of him. When he was in a hurry, he was clever and immediately got into the dilapidated pagoda.

Based on Guo Lingchan's understanding of Buddhist history, all pagodas usually have an underground floor to store relics and precious scriptures.He searched around, and soon found a deep hole. It seemed that the treasure at the bottom of the tower had been taken away by someone, so he didn't think too much about it, and got into it.

Immediately, he found that the evil spirit below was more than twice as thick as the ground. Fortunately, his concentration was so deep that he managed to hold his mind.

The space underneath is huge. He roughly estimated that it was nearly twice as large as the base of the pagoda. The stone cabinets for storing scriptures, the altar for storing relics, and the secret room for storing Buddhist treasures were all empty.

He heard that the pirate who was chasing him also entered the pagoda, but he only searched around inside and didn't come down. Originally, he was planning to use a laser gun in the dark to catch his opponent by surprise.

"Hey, boy, there is evil eye here, even if we don't dare to stay for too long, you just wait to be eroded by the evil spirit and become a monster that is neither human nor demon!" The pirate said fiercely.

He was a little annoyed that a recruit at the early stage of Qi had escaped from under his nose, but he was not sure that Guo Lingchan was hiding underneath, and outside the tower, his boss was fighting desperately with that officer leader, so there were not many of him. No matter, a huge stone of seven or eight hundred catties was moved to block the entrance of the cave, even a kid at the beginning of the Qi state would not be able to push it away.

After finishing, the big pirate hurried to help his boss besiege Lieutenant Mo.

After Guo Lingchan was sure that the other party had left, he knew that he was safe for the time being. He heard that the basement was where the evil eye was, and he felt a little guilty. He estimated that it would be no problem for him to hold on for two hours, and the pirates would definitely be wiped out by then. , I believe that someone will come to save myself soon.

Out of boredom, Guo Lingchan looked around in the basement of the pagoda. There were lifelike and majestic Buddha statues carved on the walls. Some of them were destroyed, but some of them were well preserved. Perhaps it was due to the dampness of the ground and the growth on the stone walls. There is a thick layer of moss, adding a bit of vicissitudes to the basement.

When he inspected the stone room where the relics were collected, he found an unexpected discovery. In a relatively remote and inconspicuous location, there was a broken stone Buddhist shrine. The treasure letter inside the shrine had long disappeared. The stone wall behind.

A stele about half a meter high is engraved on the stone wall, with a lotus seat, a treasure wheel top, and dragons and Ruixia carved on the side of the stele. It looks very old just by looking at it.

This is a lotus monument.

Gu Lingchan, who is quite familiar with the history of Buddhism, came to a conclusion in an instant. It was the first time he had seen the real object of this stele. As far as he knew, this lotus stele was a unique product of Buddhism in the early Tang Dynasty of China, and only a very small number of people practiced it. Only the Lizong monks of the Baoti lineage will ask their disciples to build this monument for themselves after passing away.

The location of the lotus stele is very inconspicuous, and the body of the stele is also low. It is very likely that the monk who passed away had a low level of cultivation, but the disciples were unwilling to fulfill his last wish, so the stele was built.

Guo Lingchan thought of something, his eyes lit up, he carefully peeled off the thick moss on the stele, and slowly restored the original appearance of the lotus stele before his eyes.

There are words on it.

Just as he guessed in his mind, but the recorded text is not an ordinary text, but the oldest ancient Xihao script, which is the most primitive Sanskrit, and its history is nearly 3000 earlier than the modern Devanagari script years, or even longer.

This text has long since been lost.

However, Guo Lingchan learned this kind of script by chance in his previous life. At that time, he thought that the ancient Sanskrit that he spent countless hard work to learn was useless, but he didn't expect it to come in handy now.

He looked at the strange symbols word by word, and slowly translated them.

"Disciple Xuan Li feels that the end is approaching. In order to avoid the loss of inheritance of the Lizong lineage of Jin'an Temple, I specially built this monument. The Lizong lineage was originally one of the three sects of my Buddhism. In terms of method, it is inferior to Zen Buddhism, and in terms of entry, it is far inferior to Tantric Buddhism, which is fast in practice and unpredictable in power. Therefore, there are few disciples. In my generation, I am the only one left. Fearing that it will be lost, I specially use the secret method , the scriptures are stored on this stele, and those who are destined can get it by themselves, so that the incense of the Lizong sect can be extended to the world!"

"Lizong?"

Guo Lingchan was a little surprised. He has been in this world for some time, and he knows a little about the practice system of this world. Although they all practice Buddhist scriptures, they are divided into two sects. The one famous for Buddhism and Buddhist treasures is Zen. Esoteric Buddhism is famous for secret seals, reincarnation, and martial arts.

Esoteric Buddhism has almost become the mainstream of contemporary times, and every young man dreams of practicing Esoteric Buddhism after being admitted to a Buddhist monastery.

According to online comments, in the same realm, if Zen Buddhism and Tantric Buddhism fight, the loser must be the Zen monk.

As for Lizong, Guo Lingchan had never heard of it.

Although his family background is already well established in Huaxing City, but the background is not deep. The only practice secret book is a thin Shaolin boxing method. As for the practice scriptures, he has no chance to come into contact with them.

Boxing techniques, footwork, unique skills, and cheats all belong to the level of martial arts, while the collection of practice scriptures completely surpasses martial arts, but Dharma. To put it bluntly, after practicing, they are equivalent to the existence of immortals and Buddhas. Ruthless mortals.

He estimated that the entire Huaxing City might not have such a precious thing.

The opportunity was right in front of him, even though it was a Lizong scripture that had been reduced to a broken lineage, he was happy with it.

Guo Lingchan looked up and down the lotus stele, not missing any details, but he was disappointed and found nothing, he thought to himself, could it be that the scriptures were hidden in the altar and had been taken away?
