Holy Bone

Chapter 257: The Daoist Gets More Help, Young Master Jin An Has Already Obtained the Dao

Li Huwei was startled when he heard Jin An's words.

How can there be such a Li...

How can there be such a Li...

He chewed it several times, his eyes became brighter and his face showed joy.

"Okay, okay, Li Ying is like this, hahaha."

In the gloomy tomb passage, Guard Li laughed heartily.

As expected, he was only thinking about fighting evil, and being Li's guard for the Headless Corpse King, his nerves were really big.

Jin An: "?"

God damn Li should be like this.

A few black lines hung down Jin An's forehead, and he almost couldn't resist giving Guard Li a few fat beatings again. Did he think they weren't dangerous enough and wanted to attract those sleeping blood-colored roots around him?

After being glared at by Jin An, Guard Li also knew about Li Kui, so he shut up, but he still laughed happily in private.

Reunited with old comrades, although they did not see through the identity of Guard Li after the disguise, the atmosphere of those big iron cavalry guards in the tomb was much more relaxed, their morale recovered, and under their familiar guidance, the next journey was not dangerous. .

They gradually went deeper into the ground in the tomb passage.

Along the way, I didn't forget to leave a mark for the captain, Qi Jian and the others.

In the dark tomb passage, there is no concept of distance and time passing, and I don’t know how far I have walked in the tomb passage. Suddenly, Mr. Feng Shui, who was the most hopeful in the tomb, stopped everyone again, and there was movement ahead.

people?
There are many people?

Hearing Mr. Feng Shui's reminder, the people who had been walking numbly in the tomb cheered up and discussed in low voices whether the captain and the others were in front?

Logically speaking, they were the ones with the largest number of people on this trip to the tomb.

as predicted.

Walking about a hundred steps in the dark in the tomb passage, a different building finally appeared in the same tomb passage. It was a stone hall made of stone strips, which seemed to be built according to the specifications of the Hades, and each stone strip was sealed by molten iron.

The flames of the torches can be faintly seen beating in the Hades.

"Good guy, the roots and hairs of the soul-cultivating tree around the Nether Hall are as thick as his grandma's, and they are denser than the place we walked all the way." The old Taoist exclaimed in a low voice.

The cavalry guard said at the right time, as long as the roots of these soul-cultivating trees don't actively stimulate them, and don't take the initiative to approach them, nothing will happen. They didn't encounter any danger when they came.

These soul nourishing wood roots are in a quiet sleep unless they are stimulated by blood.

When Jin An's muscles tensed up and he was the first to step into the Hades cautiously, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

The old Taoist was also stunned, and then sighed regretfully.

The Hades is the center of the tomb's sacrificial pit.

I saw densely packed caves dug out on the stone walls around the Nether Hall, and in each cave was a mummy nailed to death by hands and feet.

The hands and feet of those mummified corpses were crucified here alive. Looking at the clothes on the surface of the corpses, although those clothes have been corroded for thousands of years, they are already tattered and cannot see their original color, and they are also covered with dust.But through some of the fine patterns on the clothes, it can still be seen that the status and status of these corpses should be very prominent.

Every corpse in the cave is entwined with the roots of the soul-cultivating wood.

And in the center of Hades, there are several potholes separated by carved dragon guardrails. When you get close to the guardrails, you can see that those potholes are full of human corpses.

These mummified corpses were slaves who built the mausoleum. They were thrown in like livestock, and piled up in disorder to form several mountains of corpses.

These are all burial pits!
one, two, three...

Roughly, there are nine sacrificial pits.

If there are hundreds of corpses in each sacrificial pit, there are thousands of corpses in this temple alone.

These are living people who were sacrificed to the soul-cultivating tree.

And so many living people were sacrificed to the soul-cultivating wood, just to achieve a glimmer of hope that a person can be resurrected after a thousand years of death.

"Teng Kingdom existed thousands of years ago when hundreds of vassal states conquered each other. In that war-torn era, vassal states were conquered everywhere. The people were displaced, the people were in dire straits, the farmland was abandoned, and human life was as worthless as grass roots on the side of the road. Princes There are wars between countries every year, and many people die every year. The soldiers are all dead. In order to preserve their glory, wealth and wealth, the lords of the vassal states began to force civilians and farmers to go to the battlefield. These people basically died when they went to the battlefield. The difference. Once captured, they will be tortured with black ink and branded as slaves on their faces. They will live worse than animals. And after the country is destroyed, the fate is also very tragic. Either the city will be massacred, the families of the people will be destroyed, or the youth will die. Strong men were branded as slaves, and their wives and daughters were degraded as military prostitutes, and most of them would die of torture before they lived long."

"The more wars there are, the less valuable the lives of ordinary people are. Even if they don't die in the hands of the major vassal states, they will starve to death on the roadside sooner or later, starving to death (piǎo) everywhere."

Hey, even if he is very nervous and unreliable to escape all the way, such as Li Huwei who has ADHD, he can't help shaking his head and sighing at this moment, and his temper is rare to calm down.

There are so many innocent dead in the Hades, looking at so many tragic corpses, as soon as a person steps into the Hades, it seems that there are hundreds of innocent souls coming out of those burial pits and caves, they seem to be Opening his dark mouth, he cried out the sufferings of his life and the pain of his family being destroyed.

The piles of corpses in the Cave of Thousand Corpses can also be explained by the corpses of people who fell into the water and drowned in various places over the past thousand years.

But the victims in these burial pits are all living people. Whose husbands, fathers, and sons are they? They were originally ordinary farmers with happy families. Unworthy slaves were pushed into the burial pit alive, just because the owner of the tomb needed the burial to be buried with him.

Looking at these inhuman burial pits, and the especially developed root system of the soul-cultivating tree in the burial pits, the atmosphere of the team was a bit dull.

Hades is huge.

They followed the firelight to find the people in the Hades, and accidentally saw three eminent monks from Bailong Temple, who were copying Buddhist scriptures intently on the stone walls of the Hades.

Those Buddhist scriptures are all written with the golden body powder of eminent monks. The font is condensed and the body is thin and tendon.

These Buddhist scriptures are golden and shining, and the Dharma is condensed.

They all brought together the lifelong Buddhist practice of three eminent monks.

The more scriptures are written, the golden light of the Buddha in the Hades is getting stronger and stronger, with a peaceful breath sweeping away the resentment, hatred, suffocation, evil, and Yin in the Hades and the burial pit...

I see the majestic power of Ksitigarbha, and the kalpas of the Ganges sands are indescribable.In just one thought of seeing and hearing, the benefit of the world is immeasurable.

If you are a man or a woman or a dragon god, you should fall into the evil way if you have retribution.Sincerely take refuge in the body of a great master, the life span will be increased and the sins will be eliminated.

Those who lose their parents' love, don't know where the soul is.Brothers, sisters and relatives have never known each other since they were growing up.

Or sculpt or paint the body of a great man, mourning and not giving up temporarily for the festival.Recite his name for three to seven days, and the bodhisattva will appear in a boundless body.

……

……

"Little brother, this is the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Fundamental Vow Sutra" used by Buddhism to save people's sins. It can eliminate immeasurable sins and transport people to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss."

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva made a great wish, 'Hells are not empty, and if you don't become a Buddha, you will save all living beings, and you will realize Bodhi'."

The old Taoist explained to Jin An.

Although he is a priest.

But this does not prevent him from getting in touch with some monks and knowing a little about Buddhist classics.

"These three eminent monks are using the great incense and vows accumulated by the White Dragon Temple over the years to selflessly save the suffering martyrs, so that they can escape the sea of ​​suffering and ascend to the pure land of bliss."

The old Taoist said in awe.

The three eminent monks of Bailong Temple, who had been burying their heads in writing Buddhist scriptures, turned around and saw Jin An and the others as if they had just woken up from a dream when they heard voices behind them.

"Daoist Jin'an, Daoist Chen, and everyone else are safe and sound. Great, everyone is fine." The three eminent monks of Bailong Temple were overjoyed.

But when seeing so many cavalry guards following Jin An, the three monks were even more surprised.And when they learned about Jin An and the others' experience along the way, the three monks sighed with emotion, saying that if Du Wei saw that the brothers Tieqiwei were still alive and well, he would definitely be very happy.

Jin An turned his head to look around, but did not find Du Wei and Chi Jian, so he asked about the whereabouts of the two. The abbot of Bailong Temple smiled and said that Jin An should not be nervous, Du Wei and Chi Jian are safe.

They met in this Hades one after another. Because they were worried about Jin'an's safety, Du Wei and Chijian went looking for Jin'an and the others nearby, leaving the three of them here to copy Duren's "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Original Vow Sutra".

Now that they have found the lair of the soul-cultivating tree, they plan to pacify the ten-thousand-year-old soul-cultivating tree, so as not to leave a root of trouble and continue to cause trouble for thousands of years.

Hearing that Jianjian was actually alone with the captain.

Jin An and the old Taoist looked at each other strangely.

Will the captain see something about their family's honest sword-sharpening?

"Daoist Jin'an, you can find this place, but did you notice the marks we left along the way?" The abbot of Bailong Temple clasped his hands together, and was pleased to see that everyone was safe and gathered together again.

Jin An shook his head: "The terrain in this tomb passage is complicated, there is more than one tomb passage, we should have happened to be staggered."

After hearing Jin An's answer, the abbot of Bailong Temple sighed again.

Perhaps it was because there were so many people here and there was a lot of movement, so the captain and Jianjian, who were not far from the Hades, heard the movement, and they both rushed back.

"Master!"

"Third Junior Brother!"

The reunion of master and apprentice is naturally indispensable for the master to greet the apprentice.

The old Taoist priest has long been numb to his identity as the "Third Junior Brother". Now that he can reunite with Jianjian, he doesn't care if he suffers a little bit in seniority.

The most important thing in the Taoist temple of the five internal organs is to be neat and tidy.

"Old Shitou, Zhouzi, Wang Guang..." Captain Du was also pleasantly surprised to reunite with his subordinates at this time.

The reunion of so many people made the originally cold and silent Hall of Hades become lively with people. Everyone spoke to each other, telling their experiences along the way with the joy of reunion.

Taking advantage of the crowd, Jin'an secretly grabbed Chijian: "Chijian, when you were alone with the captain, did the captain have any doubts about your identity? Or do you use your hands?"

Chi Jian was dumb, and answered truthfully: "The captain asked how the apprentice met the master, the senior brother, and the third junior brother."

Jin An's heart tightened: "Then how did you answer the sword?"

Chi Jian still had the same dull expression, "Tu'er replied truthfully, I forgot."

Hearing this, Jin An laughed out loud.

He could even imagine the depressed captain's expression when he must have choked on the sharpened sword at that time.

"What then?"

Jin An gave Chijian a thumbs up, praising Chijian for his good answer.

"The captain also asked my apprentice why he knows so much about tomb robbery."

"How did you answer the sword this time?"

"Tu'er still answered truthfully that he forgot."

The more Jin An listened, the happier he became.

"The captain also asked me why my apprentice always recognizes Master as my master." This time, for the first time, there was a serious expression on Chi Jian's dull face, and he took the initiative to speak.

Jin An was a little nervous, and asked how he answered the sword?

Sha Jian shook his head: "I don't know, I just know that following the master can learn a lot of principles of life, and I can eat lamb chops and haggis noodles every day. Master, after we leave the tomb this time, I can eat more A bowl of haggis noodles?"

Chi Jian looked at Jin An dully.

Because of amnesia, Jian Jian's clean and flawless eyes, without the intrigues of the secular adult world, longed for something for the first time.

"Master, are you crying?" Chi Jian looked at Jin An.

"No way, it must be my disciple, you misunderstood it. Master didn't call it crying, but said he got sand in his eyes." Jin An denied it and rubbed his eyes.

Sharpen the sword with a dull sound.

After Jin An finished rubbing his eyes, he looked at Jianjian seriously: "My good apprentice, when we go ashore this time, the first thing we do is to eat a bowl of hot haggis noodles to get rid of the dampness and bad luck in this tomb. "

"However, it's fine for us to hide it from your elder brother. You must not tell your elder brother that we often eat lamb chop rice and haggis noodles outside with it on our backs."

When Sha Jian was holding a floating corpse in the river, he and the old Taoist salvaged it when he was seriously injured and unconscious and drifted down the river.But Shajian was later carried all the way to the village by Shayang. He woke up halfway and opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was him and Shayang, so he always thought that Shayang was the big brother, and he had the best relationship with Shayang.

He was worried that their Chijian family was too honest and would tell his big brother Sha Yang about everything.

Then they will not be able to eat mutton chop rice, mutton noodles, mutton liver, mutton lung, mutton heart, mutton tongue, mutton kidney, etc...

"Master, don't worry, this disciple is not a fool." Chi Jian nodded solemnly.

Jin An was pleased to see his good and sensible disciple sharpen his sword: "In the future, if anyone says that you are stupid, the master will beat his master into a fool to vent his anger on you."

Jin An finished muttering privately with Shajian, and when he turned his head to look for the figure of the old Taoist priest, he saw the old Taoist priest copying Taoist scriptures with a calm back on the other wall of the Hades Hall, using cinnabar, a pure yang thing. .

Those scriptures are painted with silver hooks and iron in the hands of the old Taoist, like a dragon lying on its knees, carrying vicissitudes and righteousness.

The old Taoist copied the Taoist Duren's "Taishangdongxuan Lingbao Shengxuan Misfortune and Protecting Life".

On the other side, the three eminent monks of Bailong Temple also continued to use the Buddhist eminent monk's seated golden body powder, and their backs were as solemn as a holy monk, copying the unfinished "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra".

Seeing the three monks so persistently saving the souls of the dead in the burial pit, no one present, including Jin An, ridiculed that such a thing is meaningless, on the contrary, they were all overwhelmed by the supreme mind of the four people .

Jin'an was infected by the behavior of the abbot of Bailong Temple, monk Kongming, monk Hongzhao, and old Taoist priests. He took a deep breath and focused on the energy of the five internal organs in the temple of the five internal organs, supplemented by the thunder method of the first ten thousand dharmas. Pointing to the iron back, he began to write the scriptures for saving people on the third stone wall of the Hades.

Mr. Feng Shui was completely overwhelmed by Jin An's heart this time, and showed a relieved smile.

"The madam really didn't see the wrong person."

"Those who have attained the Dao will help, Mr. Jin'an has already attained the Dao."

"Young Master Jin'an, Daoist Chen, and several eminent monks, let me help you too, so that we can never suffer from this murderous tomb forever."

Mr. Feng Shui also stood up at this time. He once again depicted a larger yin house and Feng Shui overall situation on the fourth stone wall. Put down the calamity of the Ten Thousand Years Soul Cultivating Tree, and completely cut off all hopes of the Lord of Teng Kingdom.
