Ghostly Tomb

Chapter 1182 Tianfa Temple Cellar ([-])
Xuan Dan didn't say anything after hearing Chen Zhi's words, just nodded with a light smile, and then walked into the dark cellar with his palms together.

Chen Zhi and Fat Wei followed closely behind, and walked inside the metal door together. When they entered the darkness, they heard a "creak~~~", the mechanism was triggered, and the heavy metal door slowly fell down!

Their surroundings were immediately filled with darkness, but soon they saw a glaring fire light up. It was a metal carbon torch placed in the slot at the door. It was designed to ignite spontaneously, with a strong sense of light Under the firelight, Master Xuandan's brand-new cassock was even more shiny with golden threads, even a little dazzling, but his white and tender face like a woman made people feel a little horrified~~~
Master Xuandan picked up the torch and probed ahead. There was a narrow passage ahead, surrounded by earthen walls, which was very primitive. Master Xuandan walked ahead with the torch, leading them to the depths...

The smell here is very bad, and the oxygen content is extremely low. People with poor lung capacity will probably faint. At the end of the passage, you can see a lot of wooden shelves, like a small temple built in the air. That temple The structure used is very old, it uses a lot of large beams fixed on both sides, and the lower convenience is a wooden staircase that leads straight down.

This is a typical underground ancient pagoda. It looks like an iron rod pierced into the ground. It is quite old. Both sides are built with black mountain stones. From a rough estimate of the structure, it is at least as high as seven floors. .

The wooden stairs are in a spiral shape, arranged downwards, one layer after another, twisting and reloading, leading straight down~~~
Chen Zhi and Fat Wei followed Danxuan all the way down, and this process was far more difficult than imagined.

In fact, both Chen Zhi and Fat Wei know that there is an obvious problem here. Since the underground palace of Tianfa Temple is so secret and outsiders are not allowed to enter, Danxuan doesn't have to let them in. Come out and hand it over to Chen Zhi and the others, there is absolutely no need to bring them in for a visit...

So Chen Zhi understood that Danxuan wanted him to take a look at this underground palace, and what he really wanted to ask them was hidden in this underground palace!

Chen Zhi and Fat Wei followed Danxuan and began to carefully walk down the circular wooden stairs, section by section.

I really don’t know which era this wooden staircase is from. Even if it’s just lightly touched, it will make a creaking~~creaking~~ sound, and people walking on it are even more precarious.

If it weren't for the skills of Fat Wei and Chen Zhi, they would have fallen straight away by now!

But the strange thing is that this Master Danxuan walks steadily, without shaking at all, his feet seem to have no weight at all, stepping on those crappy wooden ladders feels light and light, without shaking at all.

As the moon went down, Chen Zhi saw all kinds of animal skins and felts on the walls on both sides along the way.

This kind of scene is rarely seen in Buddhist holy places. Buddhism has always been tolerant and will not put killing things outside, especially as decorations. Chen Zhi always feels that the appearance of this place is not a Buddhist state , but more like a refuge.

But at this moment, Danxuan, who had been walking in front, spoke...

"Benefactor, you may have heard of the Buddhist scandal in the Tang Dynasty, right?

Master Bianji, Xuanzang's disciple, committed adultery with Tang Emperor's daughter, Princess Gaoyang, and was beheaded for public display!
The face of the entire Buddhist sect was swept away~~~, that was a catastrophe~~~"

Holding the torch, Danxuan walked and said as if talking to himself:
"The former master Xuanzang had a distinguished disciple, who was called Bianji.

Bianji became a monk at the age of 15. He studied under Daoyue, a famous scholar of many tribes in Dazongchi Temple. He was stationed in Jinchengfang Huichang Temple in the northwest of Chang'an. He helped Xuanzang translate scriptures and wrote "Da Tang Western Regions", which is a masterpiece of Buddhism. Wizards~~~, people at that time said that Bian Ji would eventually inherit the mantle of Master Xuanzang and carry forward Buddhism~~
But later, Bianji had an affair with Princess Gaoyang, the beloved daughter of Emperor Taizong of Tang. The golden pillow gifted by Princess Gaoyang was stolen. Taizong was furious and cut Bianji in half.Miserable~~, Miserable~~~
The great shame of Buddhism~~~~"

When Danxuan said these words, he was like a patient talking to himself, completely ignoring Chen Zhi and Fat Wei behind him, and he looked very intoxicated, as if he was already immersed in his own world,
"And after that catastrophe, Buddhism saw through the royal family, and the royal family no longer believed in Buddhism!
But they still continue to use each other, flatter each other, and support each other's lies~~~, and like all royal families, the Tang Dynasty eventually perished, and all its glory was wiped out.

Tianfa Temple stayed!This Buddhist holy place has been left behind from generation to generation.

In the subsequent dynasties, Buddhism and the royal family have used each other and flattered each other to survive. No matter how the times change, whether it is correct or not, Buddhism is in such a role.

The Lord Buddha is aloof, he will never speak, but everyone is worshiping him, this is where he is revered, but the emperor is different, if the emperor wants people to respect him, he needs to kill people to stand up!I will kill my heart~~~"

Danxuan continued to walk down, muttering about his affairs, the wooden boards around him kept crunching and crumbling, Chen Zhi and Fat Wei kept staggering on the stairs, and could roll down at any time Come.

But Danxuan in front of him is still walking steadily, he is more and more like a ghost, without any weight on his body, he just walks lightly over it.

He neither cared about Chen Zhi and Fat Wei behind him, nor stopped what he was saying, but since he said in the mirror,
"Our Tianfa Temple has been here for many years~~~
There has always been a saying among the abbots of the past dynasties that the reason why the former monk Bianji committed adultery with Princess Gaoyang was because of a thing called dirt medicine, which confused his mind and was bewitched by lust.

But I don't believe it..."

When Danxuan said this, he suddenly paused, then stood still in place, slightly turned his face to the side, that white face like a woman, under the light, looked as delicate as water, but it was extremely cold,
"In his life, Bianji has never been confused by anything, his heart is as cold as iron, his mind is as firm as gold, he will not be afraid of anything, he will not be driven by anything.

Such a person would not commit adultery with a woman or take revenge on the royal family because of some dirty medicine!

In the end, let Buddha's face be swept away!

All of this is a lie..."
