Chapter 137
Zhou Shui took out the compass and wanted to get a bearing.Unexpectedly, the compass failed in the underground palace, and the compass kept beating left and right.Zhou Shui had no choice but to return to the "open door" position at the mouth of the well, and used his steps to find the mysterious position of the corridor.

Sure enough, there was a door on the mysterious seat, to be exact, it was a door painted on it.Ruyu came to the front first, and knocked on the door with her fingers, and there was a dull stone sound from the door.Hearing this voice, Zhou Shui's heart tightened. It was obvious that the wall was solid, at least with a certain thickness.

Ruyu couldn't help but "ah", her disappointment was beyond words.

Zhou Shui took a closer look at the wall: the whole wall was painted red, just like the red of the gate walls of ordinary temples.On the red wall is a gate that opens in gold, and the door is also painted with the head of the shop with the ring of auspicious beast.There are steps and thresholds painted under the door.There are also four Vajra Warriors standing at the gate on both sides of the gate.The entire gate is exactly the same as the real one, only slightly smaller in size.

Zhou Shui carefully looked at the details again, and confirmed again that this is just a door painted on the wall.Zhou Shui was a little discouraged, but he didn't give up.He believes that the ancients would not draw a door on it for no reason, as long as it is painted, it must have its meaning.

After looking at it for a while, Ruyu said "Hey": "There are words here, and there are words written here."

Zhou Shui came to him, and there was indeed a word on the lower left of the door.In a place the size of a palm, there is a poem written in gold color, or it is a gatha: There is no bodhi tree, and there is no stone inner door.There are four small characters next to it: Fa Kai Qi Shan.

Zhou Shui explained this little gatha line by line in his heart: there is no bodhi tree, let alone the inner stone door, probably saying that all dharmas are empty, and the stone door is even more illusory.Divide the sun and the moon with your hands, pull out your heart to see your true body.The sun and the moon may refer to the two auxiliary title rings on the door, and the heart pulling refers to the door opening from the middle.

In that case, the problem is simple.According to the gatha, as long as one pushes, the door will open in response, but Ruyu knocks and pushes again, why is there no response at all?
There are also four small characters below: Fa Kai Qi Shan.What should be done to explain the "seven good things"?Zhou Shui scoured all the Chinese knowledge in his stomach.It suddenly occurred to me that in Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching", there are seven virtues: living in a good place, having a good heart, being kind and benevolent, speaking and trustworthy, governing well, doing things well and being able to do things at a good time.Husband only does not fight, so there is no preference.In this passage, exactly seven characters of "goodness" are used.

In the "Tao Te Ching", this text is preceded by a text: The highest goodness is like water, water is good for all things without fighting, and it is evil for everyone, so it is almost better than Tao.

The seven virtues in the "Tao Te Ching" revolve around the word "water", which is a comprehensive statement of the attributes of "water".The "water" in Shangshan Ruoshui and Zhou Shui's "water" are the same word.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shui flickered for a moment—could it be that the ancients left this method for Zhou Shui more than 1000 years ago?

Zhou Shui's heart was pounding, he straightened his clothes, and kneeled down solemnly.At this time, Zhou Shui discovered another "strange thing" - right in front of this gate, the corridor facing the gate was spotless.With the door frame as the boundary, the dust on both sides stood upright like a knife, and inside the door frame, it was so clean that almost people could be seen.

Zhou Shui knelt down three times and prostrated nine times, and made nine five-body prostrations.Then he knelt down on his knees and read softly: "In the vast sea of ​​sorrow and suffering, you can leave the sky everywhere. The Buddha hangs high like a lighthouse, and the Dharma is like a ferry of kindness. The disciples hear the Dharma like seeing the sweet spring in the sand sea, and seeing the morning sun in the dark night. I am not worried today. Humble, seek to see the real body of the relic. If there is a destiny in the Dharma, I hope that the Buddha's face will be good, and his body will be six feet long. Give the disciple a kind face."

After chanting many times, Zhou Shui stood up in a proper manner, and walked to the bottom of the stone gate step by step.Put your hands on the two knockers on the door, push gently, and only heard a "squeak", the door hinge rang, and the two doors really opened.

Zhou Shui actually pushed out two doors from the stone wall out of thin air, Zhou Shui felt an indescribable panic in his heart, he retreated to the spot, kowtowed his head three more times, and said in his mouth: "Trust disciple Zhou Shui is telling you to come in. "

Then Zhou Shui stood up and walked into the underground palace in an orderly manner.Ruyu had also been kneeling behind Zhou Shui just now, Zhou Shui's dazzling rituals, like Ruyu, couldn't do it.She kowtowed a few times in a proper manner, and muttered in her mouth: "Ruyu pays respects to Grandpa Buddha. I haven't learned Zhou Shui's rules yet, and I will make up when I learn. But my heart is stronger than Zhou Shui's." Sincerely, if I do something wrong, Grandfather Buddha must not blame me. If you want to blame, blame Zhou Shui, he knows that there are so many rules and doesn't teach me."

Hearing Ruyu's babble, Zhou Shui couldn't help but want to laugh, but didn't dare to.

The underground palace is not too big, only more than ten square meters, standing outside the door, the layout inside can be seen at a glance.When Zhou Shui glanced at it for the first time, he was taken aback—the situation in this underground palace was completely different from Zhou Shui's expectation.

The layout of the underground palace of Famen Temple is generally clear to Zhou Shui.And Zhou Shui's expectation for this underground palace was also established after referring to the situation of the underground palace of Famen Temple.The layout of the underground palace of Famen Temple is a standard Tang Mi mandala. A major feature of this kind of mandala is that it requires a large number of holy objects and treasures as offerings.

Therefore, the treasures enshrined in the underground palace of Famen Temple are so many, exquisite, and precious that they can be described as "breathtaking". It is also mentioned in history books that "all the power of a country" is used to make offerings to the relics.

But this underground palace is just the opposite - there is nothing in the underground palace, not even a confession and a relic letter.Zhou Shui's first reaction was: Could it be that the underground palace was stolen?Zhou Shui immediately overturned his own doubts. Let's take the grandfather and father of the catastrophe as an example. They are professional tomb robbers and master-level figures.But the underground palace is finished immediately, and even a tunnel cannot be passed.Even if there are masters who rob graves, they must be ordinary people, no matter how tall they are, they can't surpass those gods who protect the law, right?Therefore, the possibility of the underground palace being stolen does not exist.

But where did the relics go, where are the treasures of offering relics?
Zhou Shui walked into the secret room and took a closer look at the small room. Like the corridor, this small room was dug out of the entire mountain.The excavation method is the same as that of ants digging holes. First, the shaft is drilled, and then the corridor is opened in the horizontal direction.The direction of the corridor is circular, and the underground palace is just north of this circular corridor.The whole corridor is like a necklace, and the underground palace is like a pendant hanging on the necklace.

Zhou Shui calmed down and thought to himself: "The relic is undoubtedly done in the underground palace, otherwise Gongge Tulku and Dingjia God would not have said that. Now that the relic has not shown up, it should be because his rituals are not legal, or Is there any procedure that did not take into account?"

At this time, Ruyu asked Zhou Shui in a low voice, "Is it here? I don't see any relics."

Zhou Shui said softly: "Probably we need to recite prayers, let me think about it..."
