Chapter 360: The Origin of the Heavenly Drum

Fan Zunyang smiled slightly, but he didn't speak first, he just looked Xiao Lei up and down.

Xiaolei couldn't help feeling nervous, so he listened to Fan Zunyang's leisurely way: "Junior Sister, do you still remember, why did you seek you for my brother?"

Xiao Lei was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it he hesitated and said, "You want to invite me to drink tea?"

Fan Zunyang coughed and said: "That's right, as long as Junior Sister agrees to this request, our part of the gap will be over."

Xiaolei heaved a sigh of relief, and said with relief in his eyes: "It's easy to say, just say hello if you want to poison me, if you can put me down, it's your skill, but if you can't put me down, then don't make things difficult for me."

Fan Zunyang smiled at him and said: "Junior Sister is too worried. I sincerely invite you to drink tea, so why are you so on guard? It's a pity that my brother's aptitude is blunt, and it is difficult to control the Five Aggregates lotus products baked by Master, so in order not to waste everything , I have no choice but to use my junior sister to show off my talents."

Xiao Lei was stunned, and couldn't help muttering: "Sure enough, they are as virtuous as them, and they all regard Xiao Ye as a tea boy. Hmph...you have to have a family to drink tea. Are you planning to make cakes to satisfy your hunger?"

Fan Zunyang said slowly: "Junior sister, there is no need to be impatient. The ancients said that this court food was destroyed, and I want to imitate it as a brother. I have heard that Master Gao of Leiming Villa has a set of excellent purple sand, the quality is even better than the master's possession. And, when we are young, you and I can enjoy it to our heart's content."

Xiaolei's heart skipped a beat, and he sighed secretly and said sarcastically: "The lotus of the Five Aggregates and the top-quality purple sand really have the essence of Zen tea, but you really don't have any good water. If the tea is brewed out, it will lose its taste. , then you can’t blame me.”

Fan Zunyang laughed and said: "Brother is full of bad water, so he has to dilute it with good tea. Besides, this Shenlong Lake is comparable to Master's Fenghua Pool, so it will not affect the standard of junior sisters."

Xiao Lei couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, and raised his eyebrows immediately: "Okay, as long as you can scoop out this pool of water, I guarantee that it will not be out of standard. Also, don't blame me for not reminding you, it doesn't count if you scoop it out with your hands. It’s best to get a cup or something first.”

The corners of Fan Zunyang's mouth curled up slightly, and he nodded slowly: "Brother has heard the legend of Shenlongtan for a long time, and junior sister doesn't have to worry about my safety, but if I can really scoop out water, can you agree to one more request?"

Xiaolei saw that Fan Zunyang seemed to be full of confidence, but he felt a little embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "You are the one who wants to drink tea. Of course it is your job to fetch water. There is no reason to kidnap me for this. Anyway, water If it's not good, I won't be able to brew the five aggregates of the lotus flower, you can figure it out yourself."

Fan Zunyang said approvingly: "Junior Sister is really quick-witted and has a strong personality. It seems that this time my brother was wasting all his efforts. Heh... Junior Sister, please wait for a while, and then we will see how Brother does to fetch water when we are young."

"That is not the five aggregates, form, feeling, thinking, action, and consciousness, but the five-character heart mantra of Manjusri Bodhisattva A, Ruo, Bo, Zhe, Nan. This mantra is also called Manjusri Wisdom Mantra. Its original meaning is to open the door of wisdom. The origin on the stone drum can be easily guessed."

"This stone drum was built under the secret supervision of Shihula, an eminent monk from India during the Five Dynasties. At that time, many mountain people heard the roar of giant beasts in the belly of the mountain, and worried that there might be some ghost demon gods. Announcement, recruit strange people and strangers to investigate the whole story."

"The eminent Indian monk Shihuo just happened to pass by, so he uncovered the list and went to the top to investigate. It turned out that there were two different forces in the ground veins that opposed each other, but one of them had weakened, and the abnormality was caused by the imbalance of strength and weakness. , making a strange noise."

"After Shi Huo Luo returned, he reported to the local officials, and then he was able to understand the then emperor of Shu Shu, Meng Chang. During the Five Dynasties, from Wang Jian and his son to Meng Zhixiang and his son, they all believed in Buddhism, even Meng Chang's famous concubine, Mrs. Huarui, was no exception. , so he personally summoned Shihula to ask for advice on how to suppress evil spirits."

"Shi Huoluo had planned for a long time, and he proposed the method of carving a giant stone drum and using the thunder sound of the sky drum to suppress evil. Meng Chang readily agreed and sent craftsmen to go there. However, it was too difficult to climb to the top and chisel the drum, which made the progress of the project very slow. , It was not completed until Houshu was annexed by the Northern Song Dynasty."

"At that time, General Wang Quanbin was in command of the Song Army. It only took him 66 days to destroy Houshu. This man has always been headstrong. After learning about the drum-cutting incident, he immediately believed that it was a plot by the remnants of Shu to restore the country with sorcery. A battalion of imperial guards was dispatched to destroy it."

"Unfortunately, this thunder peak is too difficult to climb. Even if you can go up, you will be exhausted, so the general ordered to surround and not fight, and wait for the craftsmen on the top of the mountain to run out of ammunition and food. 'Sorcery' is naturally unsustainable."

"Shi Huo Luo and his craftsmen also vaguely heard that the Hou Shu was dead, but the salary of eating the king is a matter of loyalty to the king. Fortunately, because of transportation difficulties, there are still more than ten days of water and rice on the top of the mountain. After that, everyone became cruel and worked day and night Hurry up and carve, and only hope to be able to get it done before the end of the road."

"Who would have thought that when there were internal and external troubles, there would be a shocking change in the rebirth. The alien force in the mountain's belly had been out of balance for a long time, and it had already broken through the top wall and eroded to the base of the stone drum. Seeing that the alien force was about to burn the living beings, Shi Huo immediately cut his neck and killed himself, forcibly using his own Buddha's blood Stabilize the stone drum seal."

"The artisans were moved by Shahura's sacrifice, and worked harder and harder. Finally, under the leadership of Shahura's disciple, Kamuluo, they completed the Leiyin Stone Drum in one day, and then sacrificed heroically because of excessive physical strength. , and only Kamulo survived."

"Kamuluo rescued the craftsmen, but found that Shahura's soul was locked in a strange place on the mountainside, so he deliberately left a passage to guide Shahura's soul into heaven in the future."

"Kamuro recorded all the reasons before and after on the stone drum, and then resolutely left the peak."

"Unexpectedly, the nearly [-] Song soldiers who were originally stationed have disappeared without a trace, and there is a clear pool under the peak. Camuro speculates that those Song soldiers were swallowed by the flowing force, but the Song people will never let it go. , so he went to Chengdu in person, trying to persuade General Song to stop targeting Shigu Seal."

"I didn't want to come to Chengdu to learn the news. General Wang Quanbin was too arrogant and domineering, which caused the mutiny of the Shu army. Under the chaos, he no longer cared about destroying the stone drum. Finally, the trouble was over."

"Afterwards, Kamuluo returned to his native land, Tianzhu, but he visited this stone drum many times during his lifetime, and carved many thoughts and feelings on it, especially the reverence and remembrance of Shahura, but it was a pity that he could not be surpassed until he died in Nirvana. Shi Huo Luo, it is really a lifelong regret."

After talking about the cause and effect in one breath, Yan Ting finally couldn't hide her exhausted delicate body, and fell into the soft embrace behind her, her petite body was still trembling slightly, obviously suffering from hunger and cold, gritting her teeth.

Zhuang Wanjing touched Yan Ting's vest with her palm, poured in her true energy to help her drive away the cold, and at the same time sighed softly: "The deeds of this eminent monk Shi Huoluo are indeed impressive, and it is also thanks to Miss Yan who is proficient in Sanskrit, otherwise we will have to give it to him in the end." It's kept in the dark."
