It is said that Xiao Beichen is temporarily settled at the Zhenwu Mansion headquarters.

The corpses up and down Dahuai Mountain had been disposed of, but the smell of blood that filled the air took half a night to dissipate.

After cleaning up, Zhenwu Mansion returned to its former vitality.

People come and go here and it's very lively.

Xiao Beichen and Mu Ziyan were assigned to live in a villa with the best environment on the top of the mountain.

It is located behind the Zhenwu Mansion Institution, not far away from each other, and quiet and quiet. It's quite livable.

The courtyard is very large, with pavilions and pavilions and flowing water.

Picturesque.

After a day of fighting, Xiao Beichen was already very tired.

In the evening, Xiao Beichen was relieved after wiping away the scars on Mu Ziyan's face and looking at this picturesque face.

He didn't do anything, just lay down and fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

The entire Zhenwu Mansion became busy again.

Mu Ziyan lay next to Xiao Beichen, quietly watching her beloved wake up, with a shy smile on her face: "You're awake."

Xiao Beichen was stared at, and he felt a little fussy: "I'm going to wipe you, why don't you even sleep?"

Mu Ziyan smiled softly and affectionately: "It was you who went through a series of battles yesterday, not me. I'm not tired. Besides, it's quite fun to see you sleeping soundly..."

Really fun……

Let me go, what adjective is this?

"Okay, it's time for you to get up. King Yama has been waiting for you outside for two hours with breakfast." Mu Ziyan forcibly pulled Xiao Beichen up.

After washing up, she put on Xiao Beichen's brand new clothes and looked at them carefully for a while: "This will look very handsome. Go. Zhenwu Mansion has experienced a disaster and has just been reorganized. You need to show up more. Even if you don't do anything, , everyone will be inspired when they see you.”

I have to say that Mu Ziyan is very sensible.

Many issues are looked at thoroughly.

She possesses amazing talents.

Just following Xiao Beichen around all year round, he was somewhat buried.

As soon as I went out, I saw the living Yama holding breakfast and standing straight outside the door.

Just like the door god.

Seeing Xiao Beichen coming out, he felt excited all over.

"Brother, I have prepared breakfast for you. There is also breakfast for my sister-in-law."

Xiao Beichen: "Not bad. Can be made. Come in."

The three of them sat together for breakfast. During this period, Xiao Beichen asked about Zhenwu Mansion. Huo Yanluo said that Zhenwu Mansion was fully operational. But after all, it is an empty frame. No wealthy family has come to pay homage to congratulate Xiao Beichen, the newly appointed elder.

Xiao Beichen smiled bitterly: "The wealthy families of Jinling Martial Arts are too small. If they don't come to worship now, they will regret it in the future."

Huo Yanluo said: "Actually, it's normal. Needless to say, Jintai Maoshan, the Wushu Federation controls most of the martial arts giants in Jinling. Zhang Yunshan didn't express his position, and others didn't dare to come to Zhenwu Mansion to congratulate you."

Xiao Beichen was a little surprised: "It seems you know a lot."

Living Yama smiled bitterly: "I was too arrogant before, thinking that Jinling was a small place and everyone was an ant. But I didn't know that there are many strong people now, and the world is no longer the world five years ago. I have to learn to be humble, so I approached Secretary Zhuo Understand the situation in Jinling."

Xiao Beichen looked at this little brother with admiration.

you can!

The next words of Living Yama somewhat destroyed Xiao Beichen's "good impression" of him.

"Brother, your body refining skills are really amazing, can you teach me?"

Xiao Beichen had no choice but to smile bitterly: "You, little brother, are so attentive to me in making breakfast... It's not because you are really big brother, but because you have other agendas."

Living Yama scratched his head and chuckled: "The main reason is that big brother's punches are so powerful. If I can learn such a body refining technique, I am willing to give up the black magic technique that I have practiced all my life."

Xiao Beichen looked at Living Yama carefully: "You have a good physique, but you are a bit older. Now that you start practicing this body refining technique, it will be ten times more difficult..."

Before Xiao Beichen could finish speaking, Living Yama immediately expressed his stance: "I'm not afraid if it's ten times more difficult!"

Xiao Beichen said: "This mental method is the top body refining technique given to me by my master. I cannot teach it to others before I accept a disciple."

Living Yama did not give up: "Then wouldn't it be great if big brother accepted me as his disciple?"

Xiao Beichen shook his head: "That's not possible, I haven't even started training yet."

Living Yama was a little frightened: "You are so powerful, and you haven't even started yet..."

Xiao Beichen didn't want this guy to continue talking, so he reached out and patted him heavily on the shoulder: "Little Yama, don't worry. Wait until I get rid of the demonic nature in your body. After that, I will find a method that is more suitable for you. "

Although Living Yama was disappointed, he had no choice but to agree.

After breakfast, King Yama left with the bowls and chopsticks, and Xiao Beichen took Mu Ziyan out for inspection.

After seeing Xiao Beichen, the staff of the Zhenwu Mansion took the initiative to say hello and were very encouraged.

Xiao Beichen just walked around the Zhenwu Mansion headquarters, and everyone's enthusiasm for work became much higher.

After leaving the Zhenwu Mansion headquarters, Xiao Beichen took Mu Ziyan to wander in the nearby mountains and forests.

Zhenwu Mansion is located in Dahuai Mountain.

Dahuai Mountain is not high, only four hundred meters.

But the top of the mountain covers a large area, surrounded by various buildings, small temples, etc., and the scenery is beautiful.

It used to be a large tourist attraction, but later because Zhenwu Mansion was located here, many areas on the mountain were isolated and closed.

Walking on the quiet ridge, Xiao Beichen looked at the cities, villages and various buildings at the foot of the mountain, and his mood broadened a lot.

Mu Ziyan stayed by her side quietly.

Serene, quiet.

Suddenly, Xiao Beichen stopped and looked forward curiously: "Hey, there is a golden and green Buddha three hundred meters high in the back mountain."

Mu Ziyan explained: "I asked Chen Yan before that half of Dahuai Mountain is closed for office use of the Zhenwu Prefecture headquarters. The other half is a scenic spot and is still open to the public. And the Giant Buddha is the most famous scenery in Dahuai Mountain - —Big Blue Buddha.”

Xiao Beichen nodded slightly: "Go and have a look."

Walk past the closed guardrail and arrive at the other half of the scenic area that is open to the public.

There are botanical gardens, zoos, and various civilian training camps here.

Even though it was morning, it was quite lively.

After walking through the top of the mountain on the back, there is a large valley.

A staircase leads straight from the top of the mountain to the valley below.

At the end of the valley is the [-]-meter-high blue Buddha.

Behind the Buddha is an endless lake.

It is the largest lake in Jinling and the largest lake in the entire Pingjiang Province - Qinghu.

The diameter of Qinghu Lake is hundreds of kilometers long, and the lake is vast and turbulent, stretching endlessly.

The Big Blue Buddha has its back to Dahuai Mountain and faces Qinghu Lake.

It took Xiao Beichen and the two of them a lot of time to reach the front of the Big Blue Buddha.

Standing at the feet of the Big Blue Buddha, you can truly feel the vastness of the Big Buddha.

It stands on the shore of Qinghu Lake, like an ancient god and demon, frightening Baili Qinghu Lake.

Magnificent and solemn.

Xiao Beichen was shocked by the momentum of the big blue Buddha. Slowly walk under the Big Buddha and look in the direction the Big Buddha is facing.

Ahead, hundreds of miles of lakes.

The weather is endless.

After staring for a long time, Xiao Beichen seemed to feel something, and said softly: "Zi Yan, do you know the origin of this big blue Buddha?"

Mu Ziyan said: "It is said that a hundred years ago, Qinghu Lake flooded to the sky, causing flooding all year round. It caused great disasters to Jinling and the cities downstream. Later, a senior monk came to Huaidong Wanfo Temple. He took his disciples here This Green Faced Buddha was built. Coincidentally, on the day the Green Faced Buddha was built, the Qinghu Lake floods stopped. After a hundred years of wind and frost, there has been no flooding until today."

"Therefore, people in Jinling say that it is the Green Faced Buddha that scares the river god and brings peace to all directions. Many elderly Buddhists come here during festivals and festivals to offer incense to the Green Faced Buddha. Thanks to the Green Faced Buddha for frightening the river god. god."

Xiao Beichen looked solemn: "Is there really a river god here?"

Mu Ziyan shook her head: "It happened a hundred years ago. Who knows whether it is true or not. It is probably made up by people. Many Bodhisattvas are accompanied by miraculous stories. In fact, they are all hype."

This is indeed the case.

There are countless Bodhisattvas enshrined in Buddhism, and each Bodhisattva is accompanied by countless miraculous stories during his lifetime.

In fact, how can there be so many miraculous things?

But this time, Xiao Beichen's expression was serious. He picked up his phone and sent a text message to Mai Yan, asking him to come over.

Mu Ziyan also realized something and stepped forward and asked, "Beichen, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Beichen said: "I feel like this Green Faced Buddha... doesn't seem that simple."

Mu Ziyan looked around but didn't find anything.

"You come with me!"

Xiao Beichen grabbed Mu Ziyan's slender waist and jumped up.

Swish!

The two people rose directly from the ground, using the green-faced Buddha's body several times to use their strength, and appeared directly on the shoulders of the Buddha three hundred meters high.

Xiao Beichen pointed forward: "The height of our eyes is almost the same as the eyes of the Green Face Buddha. What we see forward is what the Green Face Buddha sees."

Mu Ziyan looked far into the distance and was greatly moved: "That direction is the end of the lake... This Qinghu Lake is not like what is said outside. There seems to be something connected to the end."

Xiao Beichen said: "Qinghu Lake is located to the north of Dahuai Mountain and extends northward from here. The end... seems to be hundreds of miles away. I am still familiar with that place..."

Mu Ziyan said in a deep voice: "Where?"

Xiao Beichen raised his hand and pointed to the farthest point at the end: "That seems to be Jianmen Pass. It's too far away and I can't see clearly. It's just a vague feeling. The green-faced Buddha's eyes are looking directly at Jianmen Pass!"

Jianmenguan was the most painful place for Xiao Beichen.

Mu Ziyan wanted to ask something, but she couldn't bear it.

After a while, Mai Yan came.

After seeing Xiao Beichen on the Buddha's shoulder from a distance, Mai Yan was startled: "Mr. Xiao, why are you running up to the Buddha's shoulder?"

Xiao Beichen: "Come up here, I have something to ask you."

Mai Yan is not very strong, but getting on Buddha's shoulders is not a big problem.

After standing next to Xiao Beichen, his body swayed for a while. After standing firm, he asked: "Mr. Xiao, this place is a solemn and sacred place in Jinling. What are you doing here? If the believers see you standing on the shoulders of the Green Faced Buddha, they will scold you."

Do believers curse themselves?

Xiao Beichen didn't take it seriously and said directly: "Maiyan, this Green Faced Buddha is said to have been built by an eminent monk from Wanfo Temple a hundred years ago. On the day it was built, the raging floods in Qinghu disappeared? From then on, Qinghu A hundred years of peace? Is this serious?"

Mai Yan said seriously: "Seriously!"

"My grandfather participated in the construction of the Green Face Buddha. When I was young, my grandfather personally told about the Green Face Buddha. This was a big event in Jinling at that time, and many old people knew about it."

Xiao Beichen said: "Can you explain it in detail?"

Mai Yan was also unambiguous and recounted that past incident.

It was still the period of the Daqian Dynasty.

At the earliest time, the water in Qinghu Lake was relatively calm.

Later, the Qinghu Lake suddenly overflowed and wreaked havoc in all directions, harming the entire Jinling and several cities downstream.

Local officials sent people to build river embankments and vigorously control floods.

But, something very strange happened right after.

People who controlled the water died one after another.

The death was very strange.

Later, Jinling officials had no choice but to invite the Earth Master.

The earth master took a look and directly said that someone in Jinling had offended the river god in Qinghu. The river god was angry and sent a flood to punish Jinling.

So, the earth master set up a sacrificial altar here, and sent some boys and girls from across the mountain to sink them into the bottom of the river to offer them to the river god.

Sure enough, the flooding has been alleviated to some extent.

But there are frequent floods.

Every time there is a flood, the earth master will capture a few boys and girls and sacrifice them to the river god. The flood stopped.

Finally, an eminent monk from the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple went south. In his eyes, he reprimanded the earth master for his inhumane behavior.

The Earth Master refused to accept it, and the two sides started fighting.

I spent three days and three nights fighting with the Earth Master here.

Defeat the Earth Master in the end.

The eminent monks of the Du generation took the important task of Jinling to build the Green Face Buddha here.

Use the green-faced Buddha to suppress the river god.

This ushered in a century of peace in Qinghu.

Later, the headquarters of the Zhenwu Mansion chose to be located in Dahuai Mountain for a reason unknown to everyone - to protect the Green Faced Buddha from being destroyed by others. Once the Green Faced Buddha is destroyed, the River God loses his suppression and will appear, triggering another flood.

After listening to Mai Yan's story, Xiao Beichen and Mu Ziyan were stunned.

Mu Ziyan's beautiful eyes widened: "There really is a river god. This world is too crazy!"

She has experienced so many things with Xiao Beichen, and her horizons have become very broad. But after hearing such things, I still feel incredible.

Xiao Beichen was very calm: "What kind of river god is that? It's clearly just a water monster."

Mai Yan said: "Mr. Xiao is right, this is a water monster. But this water monster is very strong."

Mu Ziyan said: "Then Earth Master, what is it?"

Xiao Beichen said: "The Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain is in charge of the Thunder Dao. He is responsible for the affairs of the living and is known as the Celestial Master. The corresponding Earth Master is the one who is responsible for the affairs of the dead underground. Strictly speaking, the Earth Master is also the same. A type of Feng Shui master who came from Maoshan. Later he developed and became independent from the Maoshan sect and became his own entity. He has very tyrannical power. However, the Earth Master has always maintained an aloof relationship with the Maoshan sect."

Only then did Mu Ziyan understand.

There are indeed many wonders in the world.

"So, this Green Faced Buddha can suppress the River God for hundreds of years. It's really not easy."

Mai Yan said deeply: "That is natural. This is not only the Green Faced Buddha, but also contains the Buddha's teachings of the eminent monk."

Xiao Beichen asked: "What is the name of the eminent monk?"

The word "Du" means that he is the same generation as his teacher when he was a boy, Master Dutian...?

But Teacher Dutian is still alive.

I don’t know if this eminent monk of the Du generation is still alive.

Mai Yan said: "Master Duqing. A truly compassionate and eminent monk. He simply couldn't bear to see the suffering of the Jinling people in Huaidong, so he went south to Jinling alone to argue with the Earth Master. In the end, in order to defeat the Earth Master, he fought for three days and was seriously injured. . Finally, in order to suppress the river god, he built the Green Face Buddha."

Mu Ziyan was fascinated after hearing this: "Master Du Qing is really amazing. However, can a green-faced Buddha alone frighten the river god? It's not that mysterious, right?"

Mai Yan said: "Of course it is impossible to scare the River God with just one stone statue. After the Green Faced Buddha was built, Master Duqing sat cross-legged under the Green Faced Buddha all year round, stationed in person, and used Buddhism to scare the River God. For this reason, he stayed here Ten years.”

Mu Ziyan was stunned.

Master Duqing is truly amazing!

admirable.

"and after?"

Mai Yan said: "Later, the River God became stronger and stronger and wanted to wreak havoc again. At that time, Master Du Qing had run out of gas and almost died. Master Du Qing had been severely injured due to a battle with the Earth Master before. In order to completely To solve the troubles caused by the river god, Master Duqing poured his life's Dharma into the Green-faced Buddha and set up a Buddhist array. Finally, he sat under the Buddha and transformed into the Buddha's relics. He also poured the Buddha's relics into the Green-faced Buddha."

"For the next hundreds of years, because of the Buddha's relics inside the Green Faced Buddha, it has been driving the Buddhist suppression array, frightening the river god for hundreds of years, and it has been peaceful until now."

call!

Xiao Beichen took a deep breath: "Master Duqing, a great master of a generation, an unparalleled scholar in the country. It's amazing to sing and cry!"

Mai Yan was full of admiration: "Yes. Master Du Qing, used his own life to benefit Jinling and even the entire Pingjiang Province. Without Master Du Qing, Jinling would have been ravaged by the river god."

"My grandfather was a disciple of Master Du Qing. Before he died, he told my father to guard Dahuai Mountain. So, after the founding of the country, my father established the headquarters of Zhenwu Mansion in Dahuai Mountain without saying a word."

Xiao Beichen said slightly: "Your Mai family is also very good."

Mai Yan shook his head: "Our Mai family is just a nobody in front of Master Du Qing. When Master Du Qing went south, he actually had a wish, but it's a pity that Master Du Qing couldn't fulfill it."

Xiao Beichen became more and more curious: "What wish?"

Mai Yan said: "Prevent Jintai Maoshan from being located in Jinling."

Xiao Beichen said: "Why is this?"

Mai Yan said: "I can't be sure of the specifics. But there is a rumor that can support it. The river god is raging, and the Maoshan faction settles in Jinling, which coincides with the time."

Xiao Beichen was shocked: "What do you mean?"

Mai Yan said: "It is said that... immediately after the River God wreaked havoc, the Maoshan faction approached the then Governor of Pingjiang and said that as long as they were allowed to settle in Jintai Mountain, the River God's problem could be solved. Later, the Earth Master was Jintai Maoshan The people sent. The Earth Master relied on the method of offering sacrifices to solve the problem of the river god. For this reason, Pingjiang Province spent a huge price to invite Maoshan into Jintai Mountain."

Mu Ziyan: "Are you saying that this river god may have been deliberately manipulated by Jintai Maoshan to cause trouble?"

Mai Yan said: "It is very possible, but there is no evidence. At that time, the ancestors of the Maoshan sect were overthrown by Tianshi Dao, and there was no foothold for Maoshan in the entire Huaidong. Although Pingjiang Province is located in the southernmost part of Huaidong, But I didn’t dare to take over Maoshan at the beginning. After all, taking over Maoshan would mean opposing Longhushan.”

Mu Ziyan: "So, Jintai Maoshan caused the disaster of the River God, and even sent the Earth Master to resolve it. Turning passivity into initiative, Governor Pingjiang was forced to invite Maoshan to settle in Jintai Mountain at all costs?"

Mai Yan said: "It's logically self-consistent."

Xiao Beichen said deeply: "This should be the truth. Otherwise, an eminent monk like Master Du Qing would not go south and be forced to sacrifice his life here. If this is really the case, Jintai Maoshan's sins are so great that floods come again and again, and the harm is unknown. How many innocent people have been killed. Is this rubbish worthy of being called the Maoshan Taoist General Altar in the world? It’s simply ridiculous!”

Mai Yan was filled with emotion: "Yes. But that was history hundreds of years ago. None of us can know the truth. It is an established fact that Maoshan sits in Jintai."

Xiao Beichen didn't ask any more questions, but looked ahead: "Mr. Mai, is the end of Qinghu Lake the Jianmen Pass?"

Mai Yan said: "Yes! Qinghu Lake is connected to Pingjiang River, and the upper reaches of Pingjiang River is Jianmen Pass. The source is Qingqiu Mountain not far to the north of Jianmen Pass. Do you know where Qingqiu Mountain is?"

Mu Ziyan asked curiously: "Where?"

Maiyan said: "The location of Tokugawa Shrine."

Qingqiu Mountain!

The location of Tokugawa Shrine!

Xiao Beichen was stunned for a while before murmuring: "No wonder that place is so familiar. It turns out that Qinghu Lake is connected to Jianmen Pass."

Mai Yan said: "Mr. Xiao, is there any problem with this?"

Xiao Beichen shook his head: "It's nothing. This is also a good thing. When I finish the matter in Jinling, I will take a boat from here and go all the way north to Jianmen Pass. It will save a lot of trouble."

"Let's go!"

Xiao Beichen jumped down with two people.

Just when he was about to turn around and leave, Xiao Beichen suddenly seemed to sense something and was shocked all over.

The heartbeat suddenly accelerated!

pain!

It hurts badly!

Mu Ziyan was shocked: "Beichen, what's wrong with you?"

"There's something wrong with this Green Faced Buddha, go away!"

Xiao Beichen pushed the two of them away fiercely.

Almost at the same time, the Green Faced Buddha suddenly glowed brightly, like a demon. With thousands of peerless cyan powers, he pressed hard against Xiao Beichen...
