Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 364
It is said that Jiuhua Mountain and some nearby hilltops belonged to a big landlord named Min Gong at that time.The man made a bet with Jin Qiaojue that he could let Jin Qiaojue build a temple in Mount Jiuhua, but the size of the temple depended on how much ground Jin Qiaojue's cassock could cover.

This was obviously to make Jin Qiaojue retreat, but Jin Qiaojue agreed without hesitation. Mr. Min immediately called a group of villagers to testify, in order to see how this foreign monk would end up.

Unexpectedly, Jin Qiaojue took off the cassock, smiled, and lightly threw it into the sky. The cassock grew bigger and bigger, directly covering the entire Mount Jiuhua.The peak of Mount Jiuhua is even more illuminated by the light of Buddha, revealing a spectacle that has never appeared in a thousand years!

Jin Qiaojue's action shocked everyone present, and the common people kowtowed and called him: Buddha and Bodhisattva. Min Gong even took his son to worship Jin Qiaojue as a teacher and followed him to practice in the mountains.

It was also mentioned above that Jin Qiaojue believed in asceticism, so the group of people who followed him became the first group of 'withered people'!They had seen Jin Qiaojue's supernatural powers, so they naturally respected him. They practiced Zen and Buddha with Jin Qiaojue every day, helped the people, and only ate a small amount of white rice mixed with Avalokiteshvara.

During his practice, Jin Qiaojue helped countless people and made a great contribution to the spread of Buddhism!
Because the world is like the earth, it contains all kinds of merits and virtues and does not seek fame and fortune, so it is called Dizang.And because he was originally the prince of Silla, he was also called Ksitigarbha.

Legend has it that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has practiced in immeasurable and boundless kalpas, and has already completed his merits and virtues to become a Buddha.But Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva made a vow to save all sentient beings, so he contributed his Buddha power, went to the world to save the world, and went to hell to escape ghosts. The origin of Bodhi can be verified only when the degree is exhausted, and Jin Qiaojue is the first life of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

The space on the mural is limited, so I only briefly talked about Jin Qiaojue's life and some deeds during his practice, but about how he passed away and how the nine-storey pagoda was repaired after his death?Not mentioned at all.

"Maybe it's because you don't want future generations to make more comments?" I said uncertainly.

Yazai categorically denied it, saying it was impossible, these murals were hidden in the nine-storey pagoda, the pagoda was hidden so deeply, how could it be afraid of people's comments.

I was dumbfounded. Could it be that there are other mysteries hidden in these murals?

"I'm afraid it is." Yazai touched the mural and said that the mural is too simple, and there is nothing recorded on it that is not in history, but as we all know, the so-called official history is actually incomplete.

Yazai sighed and said that he thought he could learn about Jin Qiaojue's legendary life through this mural, but he didn't expect it to be a delusion.

I didn't say a word, originally I didn't know much about Jin Qiaojue, these contents are enough for me.

Yazai stared at me and didn't speak for a long time. I was horrified by his stare, and I was about to ask, but he suddenly said: "Don't move!"

"What's wrong?" I stood there stiffly, thinking that there was something on my body.

Yazai's face is serious, even the diamond pen knife is shining, I dare not make the slightest movement, but I really don't feel it at all, the more I don't feel it, the more I scare myself, so I asked the boy with trembling lips Zai: "What the hell happened?"

He didn't answer, just held the diamond pen knife in his right hand, and moved his left hand slightly.

My eyelids twitched, and cold sweat dripped down.

Yazai raised his eyelids and glanced at me, then rushed over directly, I pointed my forehead at the diamond pen knife in a daze, my heart hung in my throat.

The Diamond Pen Knife was approaching menacingly, and it was about to be inserted into my forehead, but I didn't move, my pupils shrank slightly, and my eyes were all focused on the tip of the knife.

five centimeters...one centimeter...

My body moved suddenly, and I fell to the left, only to hear a stabbing sound, and the diamond pen knife cut my clothes, and the castration did not diminish, and it pierced into something with a puff.

Just now when Yazai raised the vajra pen knife, his left hand moved slightly, which was telling me not to move when the vajra pen knife was not close to the forehead.

I just saw the boy's aura, if I was not sure that he would not harm me, I'm afraid I really thought he was going to kill me!
"It's okay, get up." Yazai said calmly.

I wiped the sweat from my brow and asked him what it was as I got up.

"You can see for yourself." Yazai's voice was too calm and full of coldness.

I was a little strange, turned my head to look, and my face suddenly turned pale - I saw a black king snake with the thickness of a wrist lying in a pool of blood.

The black king snake is black and shiny. Many people who love snakes will keep it as a pet, but this kind of snake is actually very poisonous. If you are not careful, it may backfire on the owner. The black king snake with fangs.

If I was bitten by it, I would not be able to survive even if the Bodhisattva is alive.

I also understand why Yazai's face was so ugly just now, it is not easy for him to suppress his fear and deal with the snake.

"How can there be such a snake?" I picked the snake's seven inches with a throwing knife, and the dead could not die again. The boy's technique is very good.

Yazai looked around and said, "I suspect someone let it in."

I frowned, and the faces of several people passed before my eyes. After a while, I shook my head and said no...

"Don't worry about these, let's get out of here first." Yazai urged.

I nodded, no matter what, leaving is always right.

Except for the murals, there is nothing fancy in this hall, and even the exit is not as hard to find as it is on the upper floors, but the door is openly opened at the end of the murals.

"There's no cheating, is it?" Yazai, who first proposed to leave, became suspicious again.

I glanced at him: "If there is a fraud, we have to leave."

Yazai let out a hey, as if a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "Aren't I afraid that we will disappear inexplicably like Kumbu?"

"Not necessarily." I shook my head.

When I saw this door just now, my heart was slightly relieved. It is not certain that Kumbu may not have come back after leaving this door.

Yazai agreed, took out a cloth bag, picked up the black king snake and stuffed it into the cloth bag.

"What are you doing?" I asked puzzled.

He shrugged his shoulders: "This is the best ingredient. Who knows how long we will stay in this tower. It is always right to prepare an extra serving."

I stared at the black king snake that was huddled into a ball, and I had to admire the boy's big heart.

Yazai threw the cloth bag containing the black king snake into his backpack and walked towards the broken door.

I grabbed him and let him stay behind me, and then I took the flying knife and came to the wooden door first.

Yazai's fighting ability is good, but he is heartless and not careful enough. The risk of letting him break the door is too great!

The wooden door is about one meter wide and less than two meters high. It is a normal door, but because of the many dangers, I am a little suspicious when I see such a normal door.First, I observed carefully for a while, and then pressed around again, and found that this door is really an ordinary wooden door.

"No problem." I turned my head and said to Yazai.

Yazai clicked his tongue: "I hope the next few floors are like this one."

After hearing what he said, I gave a wry smile. This level is not easy, but the last part of the journey seems to be safe.Thinking of this, the eyes I saw through the dog hole before suddenly appeared in my mind, and I only felt the hair on my back stand on end.

"Let's go!" I pushed the door open as soon as I pulled the baby, the premonition in my heart was so terrible that I didn't even dare to look back.

Where did that eye go?
The moment I opened the door, a question popped into my mind, this hall is only so big in total, a thing with a pair of copper bell-like eyes cannot be small, but there is nothing in the hall.

All kinds of speculation surged in, and I just felt a headache.

"Chang'an!" Yazai screamed.

I turned my head to ask him what's wrong, but I felt that my feet were empty, and my body suddenly fell, even the baby boy who was pulled by my arm fell headlong.

This seemingly ordinary door with no mechanism is actually buried with the simplest trap... I took all precautions, but I didn't notice that my feet were suspended in the air.

The whistling wind was blowing in my ears, and I couldn't open my eyes at all. I just wanted to slap myself, but I was negligent at this time.

What made me even more helpless was that even though I was falling rapidly, my mind was still full of those eyes, and I was suddenly taken aback—I seemed to have seen those eyes somewhere before!
