Chapter 246 Qinglong Temple

Eight hundred miles to the east of Mount Gela, there is a high mountain.

On the top of the mountain, a huge temple stands on it.

A winding stone staircase leads directly from the foot of the mountain to the temple, directly above the temple's red lacquer door.Square, on a huge plaque with a black background and gold rim, the three gilded characters "Qinglong Temple" are written on it.

Behind the gate, there are layers of temple buildings, but what is quite distinctive is that these buildings are not like Xumi Temple, full of Tibetan style. Instead, most of the buildings are carved and painted, with strong Central Plains architecture. style.

And around the square behind the gate, there is also a huge circle of prayer wheels.

The entire temple is a combination of the architectural styles of the Tibetan border and the Central Plains.

In this Qinglong Temple on the edge of Tibet, there is not a single lama, and all the monks who come and go are dressed in yellow monk robes and dressed up like Chinese Buddhism.

In particular, among these monks, there are a small number of scattered believers. Compared with the densely packed and countless believers in Sumeru Temple, they look very pitiful.

Obviously, Qinglong Temple is the Tibetan Zen sect. They are in the border of Tibet, and the development of believers is not good.

I am afraid that this is also one of the reasons why they want to take back the Sumeru Temple and never forget Mount Gela.

now.

A carrier pigeon flew from the due west of Qinglong Temple and fell into the temple.

It won't be long.

An old monk, holding a small rolled-up note, walked quickly towards a two-story domed building behind the temple.

Before reaching this building, the old monk adjusted his slightly shortness of breath due to his rapid approach.After his breathing calmed down, he lowered his head slightly, and shouted respectfully: "The disciple sees the nature, please see the venerable!"

The voice fell.

After a moment.

squeak~!

The heavy main hall door slowly opened from inside.

Hearing the sound, Jianhe, who had been lowering his head all the time, didn't dare to look up, and walked in cautiously.

The entire hall, starting from the gate and going inward, is divided into nine platforms from low to high, progressively, and on the ninth platform in the innermost, there is a sitting statue of Sakyamuni with a kind face.

But standing at the door, you can only see the chest of the seated statue of Sakyamuni, and the head portrait above is directly on the second floor.

The old monk lowered his head and walked on the polished black marble floor.

Just got in.

On the first platform just after entering the gate, there were four monks standing vertically on the left and right. When they saw the old monk coming in, they put their hands together and bowed to the old monk.

Nod slightly.

I didn't pay much attention to these juniors.

The old monk continued to walk in. After passing the eight monks, he stepped onto the second platform. On the second platform and the third platform, there was a statue of Gundam standing on the left and right sides of each platform. The one-zhang statue of the Four Heavenly Kings.

These four lifelike statues are all carved from a single piece of giant wood, each with blue-faced fangs, ferocious faces, fluttering belts, and holding various magic weapons, like the angry eyes of King Kong.

The timid will be frightened by this sight!
See the nature and continue to move forward, passing the four guardian kings, and stepping onto the fourth platform. On the fourth to seventh platforms, there are two statues on the left and right of each platform, and on the eighth platform On the top, there is a statue on the left and right, and there are 18 statues in total, which are suddenly eighteen arhats.

Like the four heavenly kings, the eighteen arhats are all carved from giant wood, sitting, lying, holding weapons, or stretching, in various shapes.

The so-called, there is a priority for entry, there is no high or low level, and the eighteen arhats have equal abilities to each other. Therefore, the ranking is based on first come, first come, and entry first.

Therefore.

On the fourth to seventh platforms, arranged from late to early according to the entrance, there are respectively: Fuhu Arhat, Subduing Dragon Arhat, Gatekeeper Arhat, Long Eyebrow Arhat, Plantain Arhat, Bag Arhat, Ear-digging Arhat, Meditation Arhat , Probe Arhat, Happy Arhat, Laughing Lion Arhat, Riding an Elephant Arhat, Crossing the River Arhat, Sitting Meditation Arhat, Lifting a Tower Arhat, Lifting Bowl Arhat.

On the eighth platform, it is listed separately. The first Arhat sitting on a deer, he once entered the palace on a deer and persuaded the king to learn Buddhism and practice. He was the earliest among the eighteen Arhats.

And, the second Huanxi Arhat, he knows all the good, evil and ugliness in the world, because he used to be a debater and always smiled when he debated, so he is called Huanxi Arhat.

When he came here, the old monk paused and straightened his robes.

Of the eight platforms he walked on just now, there was only one stone step between each platform, but when he arrived here, there were nine steps in front of him, on top of which was the ninth platform.

And on the left and right of the nine steps, there is a high platform, on which is placed a tall lotus-shaped long-burning lamp made of bronze with complicated patterns.

Under the light of the ever-burning lantern, the old monk walked up the ninth platform step by step.

As soon as I stood still, I saw on the ninth platform, four old monks stood on the left and right, after greeting each other.

The old monk Jian Xing took a few steps forward, and saluted an old monk standing under the huge, two-story-high statue of Sakyamuni: "Jian Xing, I have met the presiding brother!"

"Free gift~!"

Seeing this, Master Jian Shan stretched out his hand to help, "Junior Brother Jian Xing, I don't know why you came here in a hurry to see the three venerables?"

After asking, Jian Shan felt a little uneasy. This Jian Xing is responsible for the information collection work of the Tibetan Zen School. If something important did not happen, he would not have come to this hall.

"Amitabha~!"

After hearing this, Jian Xing bowed again and slowly said, "Brother, please read this secret report!"

Done.

Seeing the nature, he stepped forward and handed the rolled up note to Jian Shan with both hands.

Reach out.

After receiving it, Jian Shan opened the note and frowned. There were not many words on the note, and with just one glance, he knew that Fang Yang and Lai Zhiqing had arrived at Mount Gela.

Wave your hand.

"You go back first, continue to inquire, and must find out the purpose of this shower sword and Lai Zhiqing's going to Mount Gela."

After finishing speaking, seeing Shan Shan, he turned around and walked towards the stairs next to the statue of Shakyamuni.

And see this.

Jian Xing clasped his hands together, saluted Jian Shanxing, and then walked slowly outside the hall.

Stepping up the spiral staircase built around the Buddha statue, Jianshan walked to the second floor. After a few quick steps, he reached the floor facing the front of the statue of Shakyamuni, sitting in front of the head of the Buddha statue. The old monk saluted respectfully.

Finished.

Jian Shan didn't move at all, just stood quietly in front of the three old monks with his head bowed.

After a while.

"See Shan, just talk about something!"

One of the old monks slowly opened his eyes and looked at Jian Shan in front of him.

See here.

Jian Shan lowered his head a little, and handed the note in his hand to the old monk respectfully.

I don't know.

The old monk waved his hand directly: "You mean it!"

"Yes~!"

After answering the respectful voice, Jian Shan said slowly: "My lord, just now the disciples of our sect who stayed in Mount Ge La sent back the news that Shower Sword and Lai Zhiqing from the Lai family have arrived at Mount Ge La."

"Oh~?"

Hearing this, the old monk Huipu frowned, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Do you know why the two of Shu Yujian went to Mount Gela?"

"It's not clear yet, but the disciple has already asked Junior Brother Jian Xing to investigate vigorously!"

"Ok!"

Hui Pu nodded, "About Sumeru Temple, you must be extremely careful in everything, not to mention Yu Jian and Lai Zhiqing, the martial arts in the Central Plains and our Tibetan border martial arts. "

"Disciple understands!"

Saying that, Jian Shan hesitated and said, "Honorable Sir, I suspect that last time my uncle protected the Holy Son when he went to Hangzhou and died in Hangzhou, it was at the hands of the Suyu Sword."

"Oh~?"

Hearing this, sitting on the left, Hui Shen, who was dark-skinned and skinny, seemed to pass away at any moment, frowned, and slowly opened his closed eyes.

Two cold eyes stared straight ahead at Jian Shan: "Maybe you are sure?"

Last time I went to Hangzhou, the old monk who was killed by Fang Yang was the disciple of this Huican.

So, hearing what Jianshan said, the old monk Huican naturally couldn't calm down. There are more than ten disciples under him, but.The old monk who was killed by Fang Yang was the only one who reached the peak.

The old monk has been regarded by Huican as his successor, and he plans to pass on his skills to him after a hundred years.

But who would have thought that he was killed by Fang Yang, and the murderer could not be found, and he had nowhere to vent his anger. Now that he heard Shan said that Fang Yang might have killed him, his first reaction was to avenge his disciple!
heard.

Jian Shan trembled under Hui Can's cold gaze, and hurriedly replied: "This is my disciple's guess, but there is no evidence to confirm that it was the work of the Shower Sword!"

smile.

Huiqing, who was sitting on the other side of Huipu, raised his eyes to look at the beneficiary who was cautiously in front of him, tilted his head slightly, and said to Huican on the other side: "Brother Huican, you are so scared to see the grandson of Shanshan!"

After turning his head and Huiqing looked at each other.

Huishen slowly closed his eyes, seemingly entering a state of indifference, but in fact, he was very concerned about everything outside.

Seeing that Huishen closed his eyes, Huiqing smiled, and said kindly: "Jianshan, we three old guys haven't stepped out of this hall for many years, I wonder if you can explain in detail, how did you think that the Shower Sword is killing... ..."

As he said that, he looked at Huishen with his eyes closed: "The person who killed my nephew? Last time you came to report, didn't you say that an old man arrested my Tibetan Zen disciple and holy son, and the death of my nephew is also very likely Is that what the old man did?"

"Exactly!"

Hearing this, Jian Shan saluted respectfully, "At first, the disciple did not associate the Rain Sword with the old man, but just now when the disciple took the note from Junior Brother Jian Xing's hand, he suddenly thought of the relationship between the Rain Sword and the Chen family. Close, and another reason why the Holy Son Wen Peng wanted to destroy the Chen family was to use the Chen family's annihilation to induce the Sudden Rain Sword to appear and kill the Sudden Rain Sword.

However, after Wen Peng destroyed the Chen family, the Shower Sword did not appear for more than a month. Instead, an old man who had never walked the rivers and lakes appeared out of thin air to avenge the Chen family.And this has been turning a blind eye to the affairs of the Chen family, which obviously does not match the character of the shower sword, so there is something abnormal here!

In addition, after avenging the Chen family, the old man disappeared suddenly, and no one could find his trace, just like his sudden appearance. Therefore, after reading the note, the disciple boldly speculated whether this would happen The old man was disguised by the Shower Rain sword!
In this way, it can also be explained why the Shower Sword has never appeared, because he has always been in Hangcheng.And the origin of the old man who appeared out of thin air also has a source. "

Finished.

Among the three, Huipu nodded, and this possibility cannot be ruled out.

Immediately afterwards, he asked, "Why did you suddenly think of this when you saw the note?"

It was said that for these three elders who don't care about world affairs, and probably don't even know the affairs of Hangzhou, they are helpless to see kindness.

But since His Holiness asked, Jian Shan had no choice but to answer.

"Report to His Holiness!"

Jian Shan clasped his hands together and said, "The old man disappeared without a trace after helping the Chen family to avenge the Chen family. Instead, the Lai family, Liumenmen, and Zangjianmen joined forces to deal with the martial arts in the Central Plains. Among the factions, the Chen family was saved. And according to what we know, the Chen family, which has only one Chen Kangkang left, obviously does not have such great ability to allow these three parties to work together to protect him. Therefore, we conclude that this is The backhand left by the old man.

And seeing what was said in the note, Fang Yang and Lai Zhiqing went to Mount Gela together, it is obvious that Fang Yang and Lai Zhiqing have a close relationship, and Lai Zhiqing is the grandson of Lai's parents, who can influence the Lai family's decision.Therefore, if the old man is Fang Yang's disguise, then he can persuade the Lai family to take action to protect the Chen family, and it will be a matter of course!
Another point is that Fang Yang has a good personal relationship with Elder Zhang of Cangjianmen. In addition, he met Elder Fu halfway and went to Hangzhou together, which is considered a little friendship, so it is reasonable for him to be able to talk about Cangjianmen!
And the most important thing is that after the incident in Hangzhou, Guo Juxia of the Six Doors suddenly announced that Shower Sword is the anti-theft consultant of the Six Doors. At the same time, the Six Doors is one of the three major forces protecting the Chen family. .The disciple didn't think about it before, but now that he thinks about it, there may not be any transactions in it.

Moreover, when these three major forces joined forces to protect the Chen family, the imperial court also decreed to give the Chen family an official status, which added a layer of protection to the Chen family. The reason for attacking the Chen family again.

After all, if we regain the orthodoxy of Sumeru Temple, then we still need the imperial court to confer the title of Great Wisdom Dharma King by Taoist decree, otherwise, we will always be dishonest!

However, the cabinet and the group of civil servants who can give the Chen family official status are not something that the Six Sects can influence. Therefore, the disciple suspects that Su Yujian is behind it.

Combining these signs, the disciple boldly guessed that the Suyu Jian Fang Yang was the old man who appeared in Hangzhou. "

Done.

Huipu, Huican, and Huiqing nodded, obviously approving Jianshan's analysis.

Simultaneously.

Huipu looked at Jianshan and said, "Since we now know that Fang Yang is the old man, but because of the Hangcheng incident, Fang Yang has become enmity with my Zen sect, so his trip to Sumeru Temple this time may be detrimental to our Zen sect." !"

"What the venerable said is exactly what the disciple wants to say."

Hearing this, Jianshan said, "Fang Yang has enmity with our Tibetan Zen sect, but also has a good relationship with Lai Zhiqing. Although our Tibetan Zen sect is secretive, Fang Yang must already know something about our Tibetan Zen sect after passing through Lai Zhiqing.

And his visit to Sumeru Temple this time must also be because he knew about the doctrinal dispute between my Tibetan Zen sect and Sumeru Temple.Therefore, he went to Sumeru Temple for nothing more than to unite with Sumeru Temple to deal with my Tibetan Zen sect, but..."

As he said that, Jian Shan smiled and shook his head.

Under the watchful eyes of the three of Huipu, he continued: "But in the world, in the final analysis, strength is the most respected. According to Fang Yang's performance in Hangzhou, he is a master of the extreme. Participating in the battle between Tibetan Zen and Sumeru Temple is still not enough. It is not certain whether it can persuade the already declining Sumeru Temple.

Even if he is persuaded, he is at an extreme state, and in front of the Xiantian Grandmaster, he is nothing more than cannon fodder, but it has no effect on the overall situation! "

"That's exactly the reason!"

After seeing Shan finished speaking, Huiqing nodded, "If it wasn't for the great master in Sumeru Temple, I don't know if he has passed away. I'm afraid there would be no Sumeru Temple in the world long ago. What is the existence of an extreme state?" use!"

"it works!"

As soon as Huiqing finished speaking, Huican sneered, and said, "He came just in line with the old monk's wishes. He can let the old monk avenge the tragic death of his apprentice, and relieve his depression! By the way..."

Speaking of this, Huishen paused, looked at Huipu and Huiqing who were beside him, "At that time, if this Fang Yang really appears, then you can't fight me, I will kill him."

"Amitabha, this is exactly the truth!"

Hearing this, Huipu and Huiqing smiled and recited the Buddha's name.

If Fang Yang didn't show up, they would forget it for the sake of Liumen and the court.But now that Fang Yang has gone to Mount Gera, they don’t refuse even if he offers it to their door.

Apparently, they didn't care about Fang Yang in the 'Extreme Realm' at all.

……

the other side.

After Fang Yang and Dharma King Dazhi got off the cliff, they rushed back to the small courtyard of Xumi Temple.

Just entered the yard.

Fang Yang heard a 'creak' sound.

Following the sound, he turned his head and saw that the door on the side of the courtyard opened, and Lai Zhiqing walked out quickly.

"Why have I been here for so long, I thought..."

Lai Zhiqing, who walked out while speaking, immediately shut up when he saw Dharma King Dazhi standing aside.

After walking a few steps to Fang Yang, Lai Zhiqing said in a low voice, "I thought something happened to you!"

heard.

The corner of Fang Yang's mouth twitched, and he glanced at the indifferent Dharma Queen before turning to look at Lai Zhiqing.

This guy, I don't know if it was intentional, thinking that the Great Wisdom Dharma King would not be able to hear him speaking in such a low voice?
Fortunately, His Holiness said nothing, otherwise it would have been embarrassing!

Subsequently.

Fang Yang followed Dharma King Dazhi into the room.

After sitting down, Dharma King Dazhi told Fang Yang in detail the architectural layout of Qinglong Temple, as well as the approximate number and strength of Tibetan Zen disciples.

After finishing speaking, after Fang Yang understood, the Great Wisdom Dharma King looked at Fang Yang with twinkling eyes.

See here.

Fang Yang, who knew what the Great Wisdom Dharma King meant, waved his hand: "Don't worry, Dharma King, I said it suddenly, and naturally I won't break my promise, and I will leave the matter of the innate master to me!"

"Then thank you Mr. Fang!"

Hearing this, even the Great Wisdom Dharma King, who has practiced Buddhism for many years, couldn't help the excitement in his heart, and thanked Fang Yang repeatedly.

Years of hostility, years of hatred, and the threat of Sumeru Temple can finally be settled.

See here.

Fang Yang smiled and shook his head: "You don't need to be polite!"

As he spoke, he looked aside and followed Lai Zhiqing, who was puzzled after hearing what the two said: "Xiao Lai! I have something to trouble you."

heard.

Seeing Fang Yang calling himself Xiao Lai, Lai Zhiqing rolled his eyes: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"It's easy!"

Fang Yang smiled, "You sit with Xiao Huang later, go back to Qixia Town, go to a room at the end of the market, and find an old man who paints!"

Fang Yang finished speaking.

Lai Zhiqing was taken aback for a moment, and then he suddenly came to his senses and looked at Fang Yang strangely: "Don't tell me that an old man who paints in Qixia Town is a congenital master!"

Just now, he heard Fang Yang tell the Great Wisdom Dharma King that he will leave it to him to find the Xiantian Grandmaster!
Now, Fang Yang is looking for a little-known Huahua old man, it is very likely that this Huahua old man is the innate master!

If this is true, doesn't it mean that a small town of Seven Heroes has two innate masters!

If this gets out, the world will not be crazy about it!
Following Lai Zhiqing's words, Dharma King Dazhi also looked at Fang Yang in surprise.

See here.

Fang Yang pointed at Lai Zhiqing, and said with a smile: "If you are told to go, you will go, and I will know about you when the time comes!"

"cut!"

Seeing this, Lai Zhiqing, who had already determined that the old painting man was the innate master, waved his hand pretending to be displeased, "Why don't you go by yourself? You know how to order me!"

smile.

Fang Yang said: "Forget it, I originally wanted to be lazy, but since you don't want to go, then I will go by myself!"

After finishing speaking, Fang Yang glanced at Lai Zhiqing, then made a gesture and walked out!
At the same time, he secretly called Xiao Huang who was still wandering around Mount Ge La in his heart.

This little yellow was prepared for Lai Zhiqing, Fang Yang knew that Lai Zhiqing would definitely go.

Lai Zhiqing will definitely not let go of this opportunity to get to know the innate master, not to mention that he is engaged in intelligence work.

really.

Fang Yang didn't take two steps before he was grabbed by Lai Zhiqing with a smile: "Don't worry! I didn't say I won't go, I'm going right now! Just keep an eye on him, I will definitely bring him!"

"That's what you said!" Fang Yang smiled, "Then go!"

"okay!"

With a promise, Lai Zhiqing hurriedly followed Fang Yang out.

See here.

Dazhi Dharma King also hurriedly followed out of the house, and he also became curious about the little Huang that Fang Yang and Lai Zhiqing mentioned. In his opinion, is this little Huang a thousand-mile horse?

After the three of them left the house.

Fang Yang took Lai Zhiqing, Dazhi Dharma King and the Kabu little lama and went straight to the square behind the gate of Xumi Temple.

Under the salutes of believers and lamas all the way, several people arrived at the square of Dexumi Temple.

But at this time, along the way, it was not just the four of Fang Yang, but a large team headed by Fang Yang, composed of lamas and believers.

These lamas and believers were extremely excited when they saw the Dazhi Dharma King who rarely showed up. How could they leave after paying homage? Whether it was to pray for blessings or out of curiosity, they naturally wanted to follow the Dazhi Dharma King.

Among the people who kept joining in, the Khenpo of Xumi Temple, Master Sanghan and the group of old lamas who greeted Fang Yang at the gate were impressive!

Crash~!

Soon.

A large group of people arrived in the already overcrowded square!
After the lamas and believers who were already on the square saluted.

"Khenpo Sanghan, please clear a space for me!"

Fang Yang looked at the square full of people, turned around and smiled at Sanghan who had been following him.

heard.

Sang Khan glanced at Dharma King Dazhi in front of him.

Dharma King Dazhi was even more puzzled when he heard Fang Yang's request, but he still nodded to Sanghan.

See here.

After asking how big the space was, Sang Khan hurriedly ordered the disciples beside him to go to clear the space.

Soon.

A group of lamas cleared the square to a huge open space under the signal of Master Khenpo Sanghan.

Looking at the size of the open space, Dharma King Dazhi frowned, and said to Fang Yang who was beside him in doubt: "Mr. Fang, if it's just a thousand-mile horse, it doesn't need to be so big..."

Just got here.

Only a long cry suddenly sounded from the sky!
