the last priest

I don't know if it's night or day outside at this time, the strong smell of blood is intertwined with the stumps, too many people come together, and too many people go together.

Is it a ceremony or a funeral?He, Zha Wenbin, would never be able to pay back this heavy injury in his life.

Life is destined to bloom for some people, just as their fate was arranged when they were born.

The subduing magic pestle was quietly lying beside Zhuo Xiong, he thought of it, but he was helpless.With sore muscles all over his body and his chest cavity, even breathing was a problem. He really wanted to stand up and touch that brother who was usually timid but gave his life.

This was unprecedented tragedy. The lives of five people quietly left like this, leaving only pieces of mess and memories that will never be erased.

There was still a third of the snake's head that had been blown to pieces, and the scarlet core was spitting out with a grin, and the half-exposed fangs still had a chilling light, which was a full two inches long. The curved one is like a sharp knife.

One end of Zha Brown's Jiangmo pestle is also pointed like this. At the earliest time, the Jiangma pestle was used as a weapon, and it was gradually transformed into a magic weapon in the hands of Tantric Buddhism.Like the swords of Taoists, each pestle has an ancient and long history. Countless generations of eminent monks have held them to chant sutras and chant Buddha. They are tools to ward off evil spirits.

The materials used for Jiangmo pestle are very exquisite. It is made of five non-ferrous metals: gold, silver, red copper, iron, and tin. Some special wood or bone utensils are added to one section, and the shapes and patterns are different. , there are Vajra Arhat Buddha statues. The pointed end of Zha Brown's handle is slightly curved, surrounded by metal, and integrated with the handshake above. Both in terms of material and shape, it is the same as the one in front of you Fangs have similarities.

Anyone who has the experience of falling from a high altitude and landing on the back first knows that as long as the breath in the chest dissipates, people will be fine.Although he was completely dizzy from being thrown, Zhuo Xiong's body was strong after all. After lying on the ground for a while, he began to wake up gradually, and after a while, he was able to move slowly.

"Brother Wen Bin, here it is." What he had in his hand was the blood-stained Demon Subduing Pestle.

Zha Wenbin didn't pick it up, but immersed himself in the turmoil of death. How long will it take before there is no more separation like this?Is that so?That lone star of the evil spirit, none of the people who approached him could have a good end.

Zhuo Xiong left with a dagger in his hand, and soon he came back with another thing in his hand: "It is very similar to the teeth on that giant snake, almost exactly the same, and there is a mark on the teeth .”

"What?" Cha Wenbin finally came to his senses, his eyes were very red, and the moment he turned his head, Zhuo Xiong saw him lightly brushing his face with the corner of his clothes.

"Look at these two things." He handed the snake tooth to Cha Wenbin: "It was pried out of the snake's mouth."

The snake teeth are half the size of a palm when held in the hand, they are heavy, and a fishy smell rushes straight into the nostrils.

"Snake teeth?"

"There is also one on Zhabun, the size and shape are similar, and look." Zhuo Xiong pointed to the tip of Zhabun's demon-subduing pestle and said: "Look carefully, there is a '卍' mark on it."

One section of the Jiangmo pestle was already stained with blood, and there was indeed a mahjong-sized "卍" mark on the tooth. When Zhuo Xiong just picked it up, he wiped the blood on the surface with his finger, but this was the only piece left. red.This should be the technique of Yin carving, so the blood seeped into the carving groove, and it didn't appear until it was wiped off all at once.

Cha Wenbin said: "This is a Buddhist magic weapon, it's not surprising to have this symbol."

"Look at this again!" Zhuo Xiong took back the snake tooth in Cha Wenbin's hand and irradiated it with a strong flashlight. It was crystal clear. If it wasn't for this evil snake, it would have looked like a work of art.Under the strong light, a "卍" mark is looming, and the color is obviously whiter than other parts. A few shallow lines outline this shocking symbol.

Although the appearance of this simple symbol can be traced back to the Stone Age, it is definitely not a coincidence that it is so regular in nature, and it is still on the teeth of a snake.

"It was engraved by people."

At this moment, the underground palace of that temple has become somewhat clear.

Those snakes were bred artificially, and they would be engraved with such symbols when they were born, just like the trackers made by modern zoologists. When they grow to such a large size, they will be attracted here.

teeth?What do you want the teeth for? Is it just a magic pestle? Then the price is too high.

Zha Brown's eyes were still not closed, and his mouth was still slightly opened. He really wanted to tell Cha Wenbin what he saw and what he knew.

Following his gaze, what Cha Wenbin saw was the center of the "卍" mark, the hole that Zhuo Xiong opened.

Cha Wenbin stared at the hole for a long time, then handed the subduing magic pestle to Zhuo Xiong and said, "Go up again and take this."

"Okay!" He didn't ask why, because he never would.

Zhuo Xiong climbed up to the top in two or three strokes, but the snake's body had already slid down, and the remaining pieces of flesh and blood made his feet sticky.

"Try, insert it with the magic pestle."

With a "click", the ground began to shake again, followed by a loud bang from above, and the huge stones began to move with each other, just like a jigsaw puzzle.Following the dividing line in the shape of the "卍" character, the hole began to slowly and slowly open.When it opened, the eyes of people covered with golden light would be unable to open their eyes, just like the refraction of the midday sun shining on the surface of the mirror.

It turned out that this is the exit.

Zhuo Xiong turned inside, this is the top of the treasure, on the main beam hung a gold flower pot the size of a water tank, inside the pot was a budding white snow lotus, the petals were on the verge of blooming.

"Come up, brother Wenbin, you can go out here!" The top of the treasure is not sealed, there is an opening in the northwest corner, and at the other end is a bridge less than two meters long, connected to the cliff on the side of the mountain.

"Let the rope down first, I'm going to take them out."

One, two...five cold corpses were placed under the flower pots one after another.

"Open your eyes and take a look, we're out."

"This flower?" Zhuo Xiong asked.

Cha Wenbin laughed at himself and said, "So many lives are for this? You mean to get out of the mud but not to be stained

, And why do you have to trample on blood before you are willing to bloom, such a lotus is not worthy of being called a holy lotus. "

Wei Wei took a step back, pulled out the Seven Star Sword, Zhuo Xiong quickly hugged him and said, "What are you doing?"

"Let me destroy it."

"I have paid such a high price, why are you bothering? What if you can really save Dashan and Chaozi?" Zhuo Xiong was quick to pick up the two, and sure enough, Zha Wenbin's eyes turned again. dimmed down.

On that day, Yuan Min taught him that there were only four words in the file bag in his hand: Holy Lotus Purifying Water!

The holy lotus should refer to the lotus in front of me, but where is the clean water?This lotus flower is no longer a flower bone flower, the nine petals are leaning on one by one, only the three middle ones are not fully opened.

Should I wait for the flowers to bloom or just take the pot away?If Chaozi was around, he would definitely choose the latter without hesitation. If this flower pot could be taken back, he would be able to eat and drink for the rest of his life.

The flower pot is hung here by two chains. About one meter above the flower pot, there is another Buddha statue hanging alone. The shape of the Buddha statue should be the Xinrao Buddha mentioned by Zha Brown.The Buddha-born lotus petals did have a meaning. According to legend, when Xinrao Miwo was born, the demon Qiaba turned into a fetus, entered his mother's womb and blocked the fetal opening, and Xinrao Miwo was born from his mother's armpit.When he was born, music sang in the sky, his hair fluttered, the universe was bright, and all things were happy.After Xin Rao fell to the ground, he walked without support, and walked seven steps each in the southeast, north, and west directions. At this time, lotus flowers gushed out from the ground following the footprints of the prince. After that, his Buddha statue must be Xi Lian.

The Buddha statue was also shining with golden light, holding a purple gold bowl on his abdomen in his left hand, and clenched a fist in his right hand, the middle part was hollow, it looked very much like something was missing in his hand.

After weighing the Demon Subduing Pestle in his hand, Zha Wenbin raised his head and said, "Zhuo Xiong, try to see if you can put this Demon Subduing Pestle into his hand."

Zhuo Xiong took it, and used the backpacks of several people as a foot pad, and sent the magic subduing pestle up the right hand of the Dharma Venerable. There was a "click", tight and seamless, and a perfect match.

"It really can be put up, how do you know?"

"There is such a picture on the back of the pestle, which shows the Buddha statue holding it. I think it looks like it."

While the two were talking, there was a "pop" in their ears, and Cha Wenbin turned his head to look, and saw that there was a drop of red on the lotus flower mountain at some point.

"It's blood!" It turned out that the snake's teeth were hollow, and there was a small hole at the bottom, which was used to inject venom.

And after the white petals that were still closed were hit by this drop of blood, along the veins, there was a faint hint of red, and the petals gradually opened outwards.

"Pa", another drop, and this drop landed on another petal that hadn't opened yet.

When this petal also began to open, the last petal wrapped by it was exposed, and the third drop of blood fell on it in time.

The pure white snow lotus was soaked in blood, and a touch of pink red appeared. The blood quickly began to spread along the veins of the petals, as if it hadn't received nutrients for a long time. With the nourishment of this blood, it finally fully bloomed !
