When The Flowers Falls, I’ll See You Again

Chapter 3 Searching for the Roots of Ancient Temples

Hong Ning looked up and saw that he was referring to the circular stone seal in the cliff, and immediately smiled: "I saw that one when I was a child, I don't know who carved it."

Wen Xin shook his head: "It's about ten feet away from the ground. Who would carve something at such a high place for no reason? I don't think it was carved, but it looks like a trace left by something hitting it."

hit it? Hong Ning also felt strange, and looked up carefully: "What will hit it?"

Wen Xin looked at the stone seal and said nothing.

Hong Ning's heart moved: "Could it be related to that evil dragon?"

Wen Xin nodded and sat down cross-legged.

Knowing what he wants to do, Hong Ning is worried: "Since it is a sacred object, whether it can be found depends on chance. It is a matter of heaven, and rash calculations will definitely consume a lot of energy, maybe..."

Wen Channel: "I'll give it a try." After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes and pinched his fingers.

Hong Ning couldn't stop her, so she walked over to protect him and looked at the pool of water in Bisensen. She thought about the evil dragon for a while, and then thought of the camellias and the mysterious splendid flowers everywhere, and she was a little uneasy.

For half a day, Wen Xin's complexion gradually turned pale, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

There was no result for such a long time, which means that the matter is definitely not simple. Hong Ning noticed that something was wrong, and was secretly anxious. Just as she was trying to find a way to call Bai Ling back to help, Wen Xin has reopened her eyes.

Hong Ning breathed a sigh of relief: "How is it?"

Wen Xin shook his head and smiled: "Using mediocre Taoism to spy on the secrets without authorization, it really is a waste of time."

Hong Ning said: "There is really no way, let's just accept it like this."

Wen Tao: "Although I can't figure out what it is, this thing is indeed related to the demon dragon." After speaking, he got up and looked at the traces on the stone wall: "Since this thing hit it, it must have fallen into this pool afterward. , was obtained by the Jiaojiao, and cultivated into the shape of a dragon with the help of aura."

Hong Ning said: "The shape of that thing should not be small, and it can hit such a high cliff. Could it be flying in midair?"

Wen Xin nodded: "It is both a divine object and unknown."

Hong Ning said: "Where did it come from?

The two were stunned and looked behind them at the same time.

In the distance, there are lush trees, and one of the ancient temples is looming, with a tower spire towering in the wind.

Hong Ning said, "Could it be..." Before she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a "hack" in the pool, thinking it was the dragon again, she turned her face back in shock, and it turned out that it was Bai Ling who came back.

Bai Ling's face was not very good: "There are many forks in that cave, one of which leads to a well ten miles away. I don't know who put a Taoist talisman on the well. I was not careful just now and was almost caught by it."

Hong Ning smiled and said: "Yes, it must have been doing evil there over the past few years, using human spirit to cultivate spirit beads. Recently, I don't know which expert cast a spell to lock the road there. It has no food, so it has to go back here. Come over."

Bai Ling contemptuously said, "That talisman may not be brilliant, it's clearly because this person's mana is not strong enough, so he has to take such expedient measures, which may not last long."

Wen Xin nodded: "I don't know where this hole leads. If you use a talisman to hold it here, I'm afraid it will go to other places to do evil. Why don't I set up a formation so that it can't go far, you two go to report the letter, and let the people nearby not want it? Get closer here."

In this era, Buddha and Taoism were revered. The masters and apprentices lived in this mountain for many years, and they were deeply loved and respected by the surrounding people. When they heard that there was an accident in the Evil Dragon Pond, several respected elders in the village were startled and hurriedly sent people to pass the word to the villagers. Thank you again and again.

On the way back, Hong Ning told Bai Ling about the circular marks on the stone wall.

Bai Ling said, "How are you doing?"

Hong Ning probed: "Why don't we go to the temple first?"

Bai Ling didn't object, she spoke to Wen Xin with a sound transmission, and took her on the road.

The method of Hong condensate will not shrink the ground. Although Bai Ling can do it, she can't carry a mortal body like her. Therefore, the two walked to the ancient temple. It was already evening. Going up, all the way, the trees are lush and the water is gurgling. After a while, the two of them climbed the top of the mountain. The temple gate in front is very tall and solemn, and the three characters "Shenzhong Temple" are written. The momentum is extraordinary. Array of Brahma singing, it really is a pure and precious place in Buddhism.

Bai Ling paused.

Hong Ning understood: "You wait for me outside."

Bai Ling snorted lightly, and continued to walk forward: "It's just a small temple, there's nothing you can't go to."

In fact, there is nothing to fear in ordinary temples, but this kind of ancient temple has a history of more than 100 years. The incense is strong and the discipline is strict. In addition, there are eminent monks chanting sutras and chanting Buddha. Looking at it will make you tremble. Fortunately, Bai Ling has been cultivated for nearly four hundred years.

There were two little monks talking in front of the temple gate. Suddenly, a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old boy came with a little girl. He hurriedly stopped and saluted, "Is this donor offering incense or a vow?"

Bai Ling did not answer.

Hong Ning had no choice but to step forward: "We are here to incense in the precious treasure temple."

The two monks let them in.

Hong Ning deliberately slowed down, looked around carefully, and chatted with them in a strange way: "Shenzhong Temple...Master, the name of this temple is very interesting."

Seeing that she was young, clever and lovable, the two monks didn't blame her for being curious, and both smiled and said, "Little donor doesn't know, our temple was originally called Xiayin Temple, and I heard that it was renamed 50 years ago."

Hong Ning said, "Is there a divine bell here?"

The two monks shook their heads: "No."

Hong Ning smiled and said, "Then why is it called Shenzhong Temple again?"

The young monk couldn't answer: "This..."

The older Xi Mai Nong heard the words and said with a smile: "The little benefactor did not know, the temple almost ushered in a bell 50 years ago, but who knew that it was mistaken by the gatekeeper."

Hong Ning hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

As the monk walked, he said, "The poor monk also heard from his uncle. Fifty years ago, the presiding elder Haikong was very famous. At that time, there were not many people in the temple. One night, the elder suddenly had a dream and woke up. Said that someone had approached him, claiming to be the golden boy, and serving as the chief of the Nantianmen. Because of the beautiful scenery of Juedi Temple, he wanted to come down to live for a long time, and let the elders open the temple door and let him in at the full night of the fifteenth month. ."

Hong Ning said: "Is it really coming?"

She listened interestingly, and the monk spoke vigorously: "The elder is overjoyed, and he is convinced of this matter. He made a special trip to order the whole temple to bathe and recite the scriptures, and prepare to welcome the immortal."

Hong Ning said: "Just relying on a dream, he is not afraid of false?"

The monk shook his head: "This sounds like a lie, and the rest of the monks in the temple are like the little benefactors, unwilling to believe it, only that the elders take their dreams seriously. On the night of the fifteenth, the elders planned to set up an incense case to lead a group of temples. The monk greeted him, but he was afraid that the scene would be too big and that the immortal would be shocked, so after thinking about it, he let everyone rest as usual, and only instructed the master to keep an eye on the door and meditate in the meditation room by himself."

Hong Ning said: "There must be something wrong!"

The monk said, "Wait until midnight, when I saw that it was almost time for my son, but there was still no movement outside. The uncle who was guarding the door complained in his heart, so he was lazy, thinking that it would be over the next day to panic."

Hong Ning couldn't help but said, "What a pity!"

"That's not it," the monk sighed. "As soon as the door was closed, a 'bang' was heard, and everyone in the temple was startled. The door was originally thick and strong, but a hole was knocked out of it. Knowing something was wrong, he was so frightened that he hurriedly opened the door to look, but there was no trace of the thing. The elder immediately scolded him severely, and immediately went out to set up the incense table and chanted sutras to make amends. I am unhappy, I have already flown to another place, and I have never been there again. The matter has come to this point, the elders only sighed that the temple had no chance to keep the treasure, so he changed the name of the temple."

Hong Ning said, "How do you know it's a divine bell?"

Bai Ling couldn't help sneering: "It's really stupid."

The monk smiled: "Little donor, it calls itself the chief of the Nantianmen, and it is also called the golden boy. Isn't it a 'bell' when combined!"

I just asked casually before, and I didn't think about it at all. Now that I understand it, Hong Ning is also a little embarrassed. After a few perfunctory words, she hurriedly went to the temple with Bai Ling to offer incense, and left a few pennies before leaving the house.

After leaving the temple gate, Hong Ning smiled and said: "This is right on the right, the stone mark on the cliff, the size and shape, is clearly left by the bell's mouth, the monk didn't open the door, the bell ran away in anger, and there was nowhere to go. Go, I had to fly around, accidentally hit the stone wall and fell into the pool, and was captured by the Jiao, so I cultivated into a dragon so quickly."

Bai Ling said: "It's not early."

Hong Ning stepped up and walked towards the road down the mountain: "Find a car and take it back, I can't walk anymore."

The sky was dim, and a carriage was parked on the main road. The driver was an old man in green clothes with a hookah in his hand. When he saw the two of them, he immediately smiled and said, "It's so late, you two have to walk, so why don't you come up and take the car? ?"

Hong Ning was overjoyed, nodded and was about to climb into the car, but Bai Ling suddenly reached out and pulled her behind her.

He stared at the old man: "What are you doing."

Hong Ning was inexplicable, but she saw the old man in front of him transformed into a woman in white, with a small face and cherry lips, but her hair was as white as snow, she looked at Bai Ling, and said angrily: "I said why you suddenly disappeared, It turned out that I followed the Taoist priest to cultivate immortals."

I thought it was another banshee who looked at Bai Ling's beauty, but now I heard the meaning of the words, and the two of them knew each other. Hong Ning felt curious and turned to look at Bai Ling, who was picked up by Wen Xin when he was young. He was already there, but he had never heard of him mentioning the past.

Bai Ling raised his eyes slightly, and unceremoniously spit out a word: "Go away."

The white-clothed girl was dejected, and said softly, "I thought you were taken away by the Taoist priest and wanted to save you. It took a long time to find out that you were here, and you would not be nice to me?"

Bai Ling's beautiful face was tensed, and she pulled Hong Ning away.

Seeing that the relationship between the two of them is unusual, other girls are low-key, but they are treated like this. There shouldn't be anything in it, so he kept calm and let him walk by holding hands, which was often the case "when I was a kid" anyway.

Just two steps out, the woman in white stood in front of them and stopped the two of them, looking jealous: "Who is this child?"

Bai Ling didn't answer: "Let me."

Do you also eat vinegar for children? Hong Ning didn't want to cause trouble, she had an idea, raised her face and blinked innocently at him, restrained her nausea and shook his arm, pretending to be tender: "Senior brother, who is she?"

"Is it your junior sister?" Seeing that she was really ignorant, the woman in white really softened her tone and whispered, "You still blame me? But I just want to be with you..."

Before she could finish speaking, an extremely cold wind suddenly blew up.

The woman in white changed greatly and disappeared in a hurry. Hong Ning was frightened and looked around in a hurry, only to see that she was already standing two feet away, with an unbelievable expression: "Bai Ling, you... attack me?"

Bai Ling turned to face her, and the way he looked up slowly was fascinating, but his voice was as cold as ice: "If you continue to entangle, it will teach you to dissipate your soul."

The woman in white hated: "If you weren't always so ruthless, how could I attack Xiaoke, you will regret it!" She waved her sleeves and disappeared.

It's true that Bai Ling was born beautiful, and his temper is not very good, but it's not that he couldn't control himself. He was annoyed by ordinary goblins. Strange, after hearing these words at the moment, I guessed the reason, this woman has hurt people, and this person must be very important to him.

Of course, it was inconvenient for her to ask too much. After all, it was about the privacy of others, which seemed gossip when cross-examined, so she quietly retracted her hand and urged him to leave with a smile.

Under the stage, the clouds and tides are vast, and the fairy mist is roaring.

There is a chessboard on the stage, and the two of them sit upright and concentrate on the game.

The person on the left holding the black child is a real person in his 30s or 40s, with a cloud robe and a crown, a white face and a black beard showing a little majesty, not far behind standing facing the golden boy and girl, each holding a magic weapon; the one on the right is much younger, with a brocade robe Embroidered belt, Fengshen is handsome, and there is a slight smile on the corner of his lips. It is Jinxiu. Not far behind him stood two beautiful women with flowers in their hands, charming and cold, each with its own merits.

After a long while, the man with the crown threw a piece and said with a smile: "Zun Shen is uneasy today, I think it is because the happy event is approaching, but this chess is about to be lost."

Jinxiu smiled: "Xingjun laughed at me."

Eguan's face turned serious, and he cupped his hands in congratulations: "I heard that you have achieved success in the practice of honoring the gods, and it is just a matter of time before you will be re-raised to the gods. It is indeed a thousand joys."

Jinxiu sighed softly: "When the secret was leaked back then, it almost brought disaster to the heavenly court. Master originally wanted to punish him heavily, but it was the emperor who interceded, so he only cut down on my 30,000-year Taoism and demoted me to a god, and now I am in charge of nearly ten thousand things of my family. Years, never thought of returning to the standard."

Eguan said with a smile: "What's the accident, fellow disciples and brothers, the emperor has high hopes for the **** of honor, the **** of self-esteem was demoted to take charge of flower affairs, Zhongtian has been unguarded, and I hope you return to your place sooner."

Jinxiu moved the subject: "Xingjun, do you still remember the Hong Ning I mentioned? I came back from the South China Sea the day before yesterday and saw her being held by the evil dragon, and her spirit was almost taken away, so I saved her life."

Eguanzhe was surprised: "Are you still bothering?"

Jinxiu said: "When she was transferred from the future, her fate changed, but now I can't even predict it. If something goes wrong, it's not my fault, and I should take care of her."

Eguan said: "Does she understand?"

Jinxiu picked up a white seed from the bowl next to her: "I moved from the future life to the past life, but I want her to understand that everything in the world is changing, and the years can be reversed. The past life and the future life are not absolute. There is spiritual energy, but it has never been able to understand the truth.”

Eguan said: "Looking at the previous life with the eyes of the past life is really a painstaking effort to honor the gods."

Bai Zi fell into the chessboard, Jin Xiu raised his eyes, turned his face to the clouds under the stand, and sighed: "Because of the physical limitations of this clan, it is not easy to cultivate, and even the sect withered away. Since I am in my position, it is also a virtue to be able to save one more, everything depends on it. her creation."

Eguanzhe dropped a son at random: "Immortals and mortals are of different races and cannot be combined. At first, she insisted on entering the red dust to repay her kindness, and she was almost punished. Fortunately, the gods took Yaochi water to help her reshape her body and retain her spirit. Now she is no longer a gods. "

Jinxiu said: "She fell into the mortal world and always rose because of me."

"The red dust can only be recorded in the immortals after the calamity. This is the rule of heaven. If she is not greedy for the red dust, it will not be the case. Everything is fixed. This truth should be clearer than me. The emperor always said that you are too much. Amorous," Eguan said with a smile and pinched her fingers, "she has passed ten lives and has repaid her kindness, so it's not unreasonable for her to cultivate immortals with the body of a mortal. Revered God is about to step down, and she will be in the Palace of Heavenly Kings in the palm of her hand. It's going to be a big mistake."

Jin Xiu nodded: "I just want to get rid of this matter before I leave office."

"Whether you can be promoted to immortal depends on chance and God's will, you can't force it," Eguan shook his head, "Whether the **** is too persistent, the emperor mentioned you the day before yesterday, it seems very worried..."

Jinxiu was stunned: "What?"

Eguan said: "I don't know about this. Who else can know about the matter of honoring the gods except the emperor. Why don't you ask?"

Jinxiu returned to calm and smiled: "I can expect others, but I can't predict myself, not only you and me, but also the emperor. The secret cannot be leaked. As for me, I know how to do it, and I don't know what to do. Everything depends on God's will."

Eguan is awe-inspiring: "As expected, I am so confused."
