Tongtian Bamboo Repair

Chapter 434 Entering the Buddhist Temple

After two attacks, the patrolling Yaksha became very cautious when they gathered for the third time. These Yakshas are not simple fools. They will seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and they will also judge how to act according to the situation. However, their action mode was relatively simple. For a while, they had no way to deal with Zhang Miao and the two of them. They could only watch from a distance, and the number of people was increasing.

Zhang Miao saw more and more yakshas gathering, and he asked Hengqi again: "How, have you found the entrance? There are more and more yakshas here. When they accumulate to a certain level, they may devour each other and mutate." ”

This is not alarmist, but it is inevitable. Yakshas are also 'evil ghosts' in nature, and evil ghosts will eat each other and grow stronger. These yakshas are usually scattered and have some self-control. If they are too dense and too dense, then the evil ghost's instinct will make them devour each other, and perhaps a more powerful Yaksha will be born.

When Heng Shiqi was urged in this way, he did not respond, but observed harder. Suddenly, he pointed into the distance and said, "Let's go over and take a look at that location."

As soon as Zhang Miao heard this, he immediately protected him and headed in the direction he was pointing. The two moved forward, and Yaksha moved with them. At this time, a Yaksha's nose suddenly moved, and he suddenly looked at his companion next to him. The thought suddenly came to his mind, 'Brother, you smell so good! '

As soon as this thought came out, Yaksha couldn't hold it back any longer, as if something had awakened. He suddenly grabbed Yasha beside him, opened his big mouth and bit him.

He swallowed 'Brother' in one gulp and wiped his mouth with satisfaction. But in the next second, his satisfaction was immediately replaced by a kind of hunger. He looked around and saw that there were many "good-smelling" brothers here! The fragrance tantalized him, and he couldn't help but swallow it towards the Yasha next to him!

The entire yaksha group suddenly became confused, and it was not just one yaksha that awakened. Almost at the same time, all the Yashas awakened, and they began to devour each other, and if they encountered resistance, they would fight. In just an instant, the number of Yaksha groups was reduced by half.

But this scene made Zhang Miao's face darken. What he was worried about still happened. When yakshas eat each other, stronger yakshas will definitely be born. The key is that the yakshas here are almost endless. No matter how many yakshas are eaten, new yakshas will be born. The newly born Yakshas eat each other. As long as they are given time, they will be endlessly superimposed, and a very troublesome Yaksha King will always be born.

Heng Shiqi also saw this scene. He didn't say anything but continued to search. Finally, he saw a different place, which was very similar to the one marked on the map, so he cheered up and said, "That's it! That's the entrance!"

Zhang Miao turned around and saw that he couldn't care too much at the moment. He grabbed Heng Qi's collar and stepped on the water hard. He only heard a loud "bang" sound and the sea water exploded under his step. Opening, the huge impact caused him to shoot out rapidly. He was like a torpedo launched, breaking through the sea water and heading towards the gap.

And the sea water he exploded when he stepped on the water hit those Yashas, ​​killing some of the weak Yashas directly.

The two moved quickly and soon arrived at the suspected entrance. This place has been blocked by thick sand, and many shells and rocks have blocked the space, but it is vaguely visible that this seems to be a dug hole.

Heng Shiqi waved his hand, and the dragon spear in his hand flew out and quickly hit the rock wall. Only a rumbling sound was heard, and the rock wall cracked, revealing a bronze door inside.

Heng Shiqi's dragon spear swept left and right, sweeping away all the things attached to the bronze door. After a while, a huge bronze door was revealed. The bronze door was ten feet high, and the bronze was already stained with rust, but the two of them could still clearly see the Buddha carved on the door.

This Buddha is a bit strange. He has long hair and a bun on his head that looks like a bun. But this man showed compassion, wore monk's robes, and sat cross-legged. He clearly looked like the Buddha.

At this time, Heng Shiqi murmured: "This is not the Buddha, this is the Bodhisattva... In addition to the Buddha, ancient Buddhism also had two levels of Arhat and Bodhisattva. Ancient Buddhism believed that Buddha could not be cultivated. , No one can become a Buddha, but one can become an Arhat and a Bodhisattva sitting down.”

Zhang Miao listened to his words. Although he didn't know much about ancient Buddhism, he felt that this thing was like a synthesis of Taoism and Buddhism, with an indescribable disharmony.

The two have different ideas, but that's not the point at the moment. Heng Shiqi began to look for a way to open the bronze door. According to his idea, there should be some kind of mechanism or formation. But after searching for a while, he didn't find any signs of being turned off or enlarged.

Zhang Miao watched the Yakshas slowly gathering together. He pulled Heng Shiqi away and said directly: "Stop looking for it. Try the simplest way." After saying that, he pressed his hands against the bronze door, and then With all his strength, all the muscles in his body were pulsating, huge veins burst out, and his muscles were tense, trying to push the door open with brute force.

Heng Shiqi was stunned, and he immediately said: "How could this door be pushed open by brute force! This is unreasonable! If brute force is used to open the door, what will happen to those who are not strong enough..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhang Miao gritting her teeth, stepping on the water, and forcefully pushing the door open a gap!
The door was pushed open, and a heart-wrenching "squeak" sound sounded, as if the door hinge that had not moved for thousands of years began to move. Zhang Miao gritted his teeth and pushed the door open. The more he pushed the door open, the more effort he put in. When he got to the back, when he pushed out a gap that could allow one person to pass through, he was covered in sweat, like white liquid.

To be honest, his nine-orificed exquisite body does not actually have any pores. He almost never sweats, but this time he sweated because his skin exploded slightly and the blood in his body burst out!
His blood was as heavy as lead and mercury, and was insoluble even in the sea. He wiped the white blood dry, and then said lightly: "Okay, let's go in..."

He entered the door and calmed his heartbeat. On his body, rays of tribulation light quickly gathered again. When he passed through the bronze door, the calamity light had become intense to a certain extent, and the calamity had already formed.

But now he can't see the robbery light, and he doesn't know the changes in himself. After the two entered the bronze door, the Yaksha stopped chasing them. It seemed that the bronze door was the limit of their activities.

Entering the bronze door, there is a short passage first. The passage is a natural cave passage. There are many statues of gods carved on the rock walls of the cave. These statues have been corroded to a disgraceful appearance, and most of them are incomplete. Even if they are not damaged, their appearance cannot be seen clearly.

Heng Shiqi explained as he walked: "What should be carved here is five hundred Arhats. It is said that the Buddha was followed by five hundred Arhats. These Arhats are the protectors in front of the Buddha."

Zhang Miao pondered for a moment, then asked: "How did you learn about these ancient things?"

Heng Shiqi said calmly: "I once served Medicine Buddha, and Medicine Buddha comes from ancient times. There are also some rumors in this temple."

"Buddhism declined in ancient times because everyone did not practice Buddhism, but only wanted to achieve the status of Arhat and Bodhisattva. These monks were extremely selfish. They often hid in the mountains and forests and practiced hard on their own. The Dharma was not spread, but was only passed down orally. Compare Tantric Buddhism still needs Tantric Buddhism, so it has gradually become lonely. Now it only practices Buddhism, because everyone can become a Buddha, and no one cares about Arhat and Bodhisattva status. "

"This temple is also located deep in the mountains, and is enclosed by a bronze gate..." Having said this, Heng Shiqi shook his head and did not continue.

Because he also figured out that the bronze door that closed the mountain gate had no bolts or mechanisms and could only be opened by brute force. This illustrates the attitude of Buddhism. Buddhism opens the door to convenience and one can come and go freely. But this door of free coming and going must be opened by you yourself. These tens of thousands of kilograms of bronze doors cannot be opened by ordinary monks... This freedom also has limits. The passage is not long and you can pass it in a few steps. As soon as they exited the passage, a Buddhist temple built halfway up the mountain appeared in front of them. This Buddhist temple is extremely grand. It is built along the mountain, with various main halls and entrances scattered in the mountain. Zhang Miao suddenly felt a little strange. Since this Buddhist temple has no cover, why can't it be dropped directly from the sky?
He looked at the dark top of his head, and he didn't know why.

The temple was quiet, with only some ignorant fish swimming in the water. These deep-sea fish have all kinds of strange shapes. They lurk in the darkness and swim by unexpectedly.

"Is there the magic medicine you want here?" Zhang Miao was a little doubtful.

"Yes, here is the magic medicine I want. This Lanruo originally had thousands of monks, but later it was invaded by a group of demons. They first devoured ordinary monks in the temple, then transformed into ordinary monks, and then slowly attacked, Lure other monks and slowly devour the monks practicing here."

"It took them more than a hundred years to finally eat up all the people in this temple. Then they occupied this temple and began to use this temple as a base to lure other practitioners to come and devour them one by one."

"In the end, the evil spirits in this temple got into big trouble. They accidentally swallowed a natural Buddhist son, and were targeted by the largest Buddhist temple at the time. Then they sent 100,000 Buddhist soldiers and 300 golden Arhats. The Twelve Bodhisattvas will destroy all the evil spirits in this place."

"But during the killing, there was an evil leader here who had thoroughly understood the Buddhist scriptures and was promoted to the status of Bodhisattva. At the expense of himself, this Bodhisattva status killed one hundred thousand Buddhist soldiers, suppressed three hundred Arhats, and killed ten Ten of the two Bodhisattvas transformed, but only two escaped."

"In the end, this place attracted the wrath of the Buddha. The Buddha used his great supernatural power to isolate this place. In the Yongzhen Mountain, the endless Yakshas outside are actually the gatekeepers here..."

"It's just that later on, the sea changed, and this place was also flooded."

Heng Shiqi said calmly.

After Zhang Miao heard this story, he glanced at Heng Shiqi and said, "You know it quite well."

Heng Shiqi said calmly: "The two sages who escaped are Sunlight Bodhisattva and Moonlight Bodhisattva beside Medicine Buddha."

Zhang Miao was stunned. It turned out that this was something that happened in her own family...

"Okay, let's not say much. After so many years, the Buddhist soldiers have turned into dust, the Arhat has probably turned into withered bones, and the transformed Bodhisattva may have passed away. But we are not sure, so we have to be careful."

After saying that, he took the lead. As soon as the two people came out of the passage, they heard a muffled sound behind them, but the bronze door closed again. Zhang Miao frowned slightly when he heard the voice. It was more difficult to pull the door than to push it...

But he didn't say anything. It had reached this point and the two of them could only move on. From the passage, there is a long and thin mountain road. The mountain road is winding and leads to various places. Of course, the most important place is the Medicine Master's Palace in front.

At this time, Zhang Miao also knew that this temple must be the temple of the Medicine Buddha who once believed in it. If he did not believe in the Medicine Buddha, why would the Medicine Buddha help it?
The two of them were walking on the winding mountain road. Suddenly, a strange fragrance wafted in. Zhang Miao and Heng Qiyi's expressions changed when they smelled it.

"No, this scent is poisonous!" Zhang Miao and Heng Shiqi said in unison. The two looked at each other, and Heng Shiqi said: "This should be the scent of corpse-scented konjac. This thing is highly poisonous, and the toxicity is different depending on the corpse-scented konjac growing on different corpses. You don't have to Worry, I can prepare an antidote."

After saying that, he opened his sleeve, then made a cut on his arm, took out a little blood and began to study it. Heng Shiqi is a master of medicine, and his medical skills are very powerful.

However, Zhang Miao also has some knowledge of medicine. He did not cut open his arm to draw blood, but directly looked inside his body and took his own pulse. Then I started to make calculations in my mind.

'Blood coagulation and qi stagnation, pulse is weak and floating, the five aggregates are blocked, liver fire is excessive, and kidney water is weak. When yang is excessive and yin is deficient, yin should be replenished... 'All serious poisons are caused by the body's inability to detoxify. The body itself has the ability to detoxify, and it can detoxify hundreds of poisons. What to do if you are poisoned? Just strengthen your body to the point where it can detoxify.

But many times, before the body has time to detoxify, the body's functions are completely destroyed by toxins, and then it dies. So what should we do at this time?
Just hang your life. As long as the body does not die and the various organs of the body can still function, then the poison will be released one day.

The seventeenth year is from the lineage of Medicine Buddha, who believes in medicine. I think that as long as we find something that can restrain the toxins, we can directly degrade or eliminate the toxins. Zhang Miao is a believer in medicine. No matter what kind of poison he is poisoned, he just needs to straighten his body and let it fight on its own.

Both of them silently began to use their own methods to detoxify.

Zhang Miao's physical fitness is extremely strong, so he doesn't have to do much. He only needs to use Qi to protect and strengthen his five internal organs. He takes several yin-tonifying medicines to balance the yin and yang in the body.

Heng Shiqi, on the other hand, kept trying. His face turned pale and his lips turned purple. This was a sign of poisonous energy attacking his heart. But he immediately cheered up, and then quickly took out a series of medicines from the storage bag and prepared them.

After a while, he prepared a medicinal powder and swallowed it, then breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and his complexion improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He handed the powder to Zhang Miao and said, "Here, this is the antidote."

But at this time, Zhang Miao acted like a man who was fine. He waved his hand and said, "It's just a little poison that doesn't matter, I'm fine!"
