Chapter 429: Daring and Reckless (1)
Under the moonlight, Monk Songguo had a dull look on his face, a stiff body, and his breath was as withered as an old tree in the mountains.
He stood quietly under a big tree, without a sound or a movement. The Buddha power in his body was like a glacier, operating extremely slowly but firmly.
Lu Yi put his hands behind his back and looked into the depths of the forest.
The sound of the wooden fish became increasingly dull, and the low sound of chanting rose and fell.
Dozens of scantily clad girls with enchanting figures descended from the sky on mats woven from flowers and landed lightly in the middle of the wooden houses and thatched huts, singing and dancing gracefully and making all kinds of charming gestures.
Then, the rich fragrance of flowers filled the air, and the girls used all kinds of romantic means to use their evil skills to stir the minds of the monks in the wooden hut.
The chanting became louder and louder, and the Buddha's light gradually became brighter.
The light of the cold moon poured out from the thatched cottage, illuminating the mountains and forests, and gradually dispelling the colorful fragrance that was constantly emitted from the girls.
Cold sweat continued to pour out on the girls' foreheads. They gritted their teeth and firmly cast their evil magic, frantically counterattacking the oncoming moonlight.
After a struggle of half a quarter of an hour, dozens of girls giggled a few times, waved their sleeves , and flew into the air, shouting relentlessly: "Today I will let you, a bunch of thieves... you ungrateful people, go."
"The stones in the pit are smelly and hard... I don't know what they are."
"You have plenty of food and drink, but you don't know how to enjoy them. Instead, you live in a shabby house, wear tattered clothes, and eat coarse food. Why do you suffer?"
The sound of wooden fish continued to ring out, and the cold moonlight shone on the mountains and forests, dispelling the last trace of fragrant aroma.
"Six thousand years." Monk Songguo muttered to himself in a low voice: "For six thousand years, there has been such a heart demon calamity every night... Today's scene is just a tiny part... Every new moon and full moon, tens of millions of female disciples of the Flower Sect will perform together..."
"A thousand years ago, there were still three thousand monks in the back mountain."
"A hundred years ago, there were still 1,200 monks in the back mountain."
"And now, there are less than a thousand fellow disciples in the back mountain."
Monk Songguo smiled bitterly at Lu Yi and said, "They showed mercy. After all, the Grand Master of the Wanhua Sect who promised to be the abbot back then is still here. Therefore, they will not really destroy the inheritance of my Hanyue Temple."
"But, watching fellow disciples being dragged into the abyss of lust by their demonic illusions..." Monk Songguo asked Lu Yi seriously, "Do you think that the Buddha... is he really spreading his knowledge across the world and saving people from suffering?"
Monk Songguo pointed to the top of his head and said, "Is he really paying attention to us poor Buddhist disciples?"
Shaking his head, Monk Songguo said in a low voice: "There is no Buddha above my head, only the evil magic weapon of Wanhua Sect suppresses it."
Lu Yi reached out and pressed Monk Songguo's shoulder: "If you want to get out of the sea of suffering, you have to save yourself... Buddhist disciples all rely on the Buddha to save their lives. What if the Buddha himself is facing a life-and-death disaster? Who can say for sure? So, you still have to rely on yourself."
"Alright, hurry up and call your fellow disciples... I'll give you a quarter of an hour to pack up and take away what needs to be taken away... Uh, if your elders have left behind any relics or something, don't let the demon girl from the Wanhua Sect get away with it."
Monk Songguo coughed lightly and said, "The relics of our elders were all taken away by them to make medicine. The stupa in the back mountain only contains the clothes and hats of our elders... There is nothing to pack up or take away."
Lu Yi's face twitched violently.
What a great Wanhua Sect… They not only spare the living monks, but also the dead monks?
It's a miracle they could think of using relics to make elixirs.
Lu Yu began to understand the mentality of Jieying Toudao and Mahakala’s higher-ups a little bit…The monks of Hanyue Temple were simply pigs raised by Wanhua Sect. It was really hard to accept that Buddhist disciples had fallen into such a situation!
However, what is the relationship between the monk from Yuanlingtian and this fake monk from Jishengtian?
Half a minute later, a faint light shone from Lu Yi's palm. Nearly a thousand skinny monks from Hanyue Temple, carrying wooden fish and rolled up scriptures, took turns to salute Lu Yi with their palms folded. Without any hesitation or doubt, they strode into the Little Vajra Mount Sumeru.
The quiet forest at the back of the mountain was suddenly deserted.
Lu Yi looked at the forest which had become quiet with only a few fireflies flickering. With a gleam of light in his eyes, he subconsciously glanced towards the forest.
Then, Lu Yi's eyes suddenly widened.
Just below this forest, at a depth of nearly three hundred miles from the ground, a faint Buddha light was visible, like stars in a vast ocean. Densely packed Buddha seals of various colors overlapped each other, condensing into a dark and heavy Buddha light wheel with a radius of nearly a hundred feet.
When Lu Yi's eyes met the Buddha's light, the sound of continuous Buddhist chanting suddenly rang in his mind, like the ringing of a huge bell, shaking Lu Yi's soul and causing countless ripples.
The ancient and timeless Buddhist Zen made Lu Yi feel as if he had been electrified. He had just seen the Buddha's light across the thick earth, and the five great Vajra images condensed in his mind suddenly became more powerful. He made inexplicable progress in his practice of Buddhism.
Lu Yi was horrified.
There is such a secret underground in Hanyue Temple.
The Moonlight Monk did not mention this matter.
Monk Songguo did not mention this matter.
Without any hesitation or lingering, they packed up their things and followed Lu Yi. They didn't ask about their future, their background, or whether Lu Yi was good or evil.
They seized this slight chance to escape from the clutches of the Wanhua Sect and followed Lu Yi away without hesitation.
…
Perhaps, they don't know what is hidden underground.
Perhaps they know, but they keep it secret and are unwilling to tell outsiders .
And what about Wanhuamen?
Lu Yi stroked his chin…The great ancestor of Wanhua Sect, with the help of the old abbot of Hanyue Temple six thousand years ago, stepped into the realm of heaven and man in one step and achieved the status of half-heaven and man.
With her skills, it is not difficult for her to discover the secret hidden underground.
However, the Wanhua Sect kept it a secret, and the outside world had no idea that there was such a secret Buddhist treasure hidden in the basement of the Hanyue Temple.
Lu Yu looked up at the pink and sticky cloud.
Then look down at the faint Buddha light deep underground.
After hesitating for a moment, he gestured to Ah Hu and the others and took them into the Small Vajra Sumeru Mountain. Then he shook his body and a puff of yellow earth gushed out from the ground. He used the earth escape technique and sank straight into the depths of the ground.
The structure of heaven and earth in Yuanlingtian is extremely stable, and the earth is also extremely thick.
Diving a hundred miles underground, the pressure Lu Yi endured was comparable to the constant and crazy attacks of a master in the Condensation Fruit Realm. At such a depth, ordinary cultivators simply could not dive down. Even with Lu Yi's current strong body, he felt great pressure and became more cautious as he descended.
Lu Yu gradually came to believe that these menial monks in Hanyue Temple really did not know that there was such a secret treasure underground.
Moonlight Monk was the disciple with the highest cultivation level among them, and he was only at the half-step Condensation Fruit Realm. Most of the monks like Pine Fruit were at the Furnace Realm or Fiery Fire Realm, and only a few were at the Golden Lotus Opening Realm. It was impossible for them to enter such a deep underground.
Moreover, the true Buddhist teachings of Hanyue Temple are also very common in the art of escape, so even the Moonlight Monk can probably sneak ten miles underground, which is considered very good.
"The inheritance has been cut off. I guess their teachers didn't tell them what's down there... Six thousand years, tsk tsk!"
But there is no doubt that the people from Wanhuamen obviously know where this place is.
Lu Yi gradually approached the place where the Buddha's light was flashing.
Suddenly, pink petals appeared in the rock formations around him. These pink petals were made of gold and jade, gleaming faintly, and the light flickered with each other, echoing each other from afar. It was clearly a complete set of extremely mysterious forbidden treasures.
The Buddha's light is condensed and cannot be retracted.
These pink petals, which were densely packed and covered an area of hundreds of miles in radius and almost covered the entire underground of Hanyue Temple, continuously emitted wisps of extremely fine pink mist.
The mist spread outwards along the cracks in the soil, and some of it seeped down to the edge of the Buddha's light. With a "hissing" sound, just like water drops falling on a red-hot iron plate, the mist quickly disappeared, and ripples appeared on the Buddha's light.
Lu Yi observed this set of petal secret treasures very carefully for a while.
This treasure should mainly have the functions of early warning and reporting. The people from Wanhuamen simply placed these petals in all directions to prevent anyone from sneaking in - the ones they are guarding against are probably the menial monks of Hanyue Temple.
These mists were just unconsciously seeping out naturally and inadvertently clashing with the Buddha's light ban. They were not intended to dissolve this layer of Buddha's light ban.
Lu Yi walked around in a circle. These pink petals were obviously coming from all directions, up and down, left and right, completely wrapping up the ball of Buddha's light.
Looking at those pink petals, Lu Yi hesitated for a moment. The earthy air around him became thicker and thicker, completely covering up the energy in his body, like a drop of water merging into the sea and slowly sinking.
On the top of a tall tower in the back mountain of Hanyue Temple, a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes was drinking and feasting with several handsome monks.
The beautiful woman and the monk were all drunk. They didn't even notice the dim light from a crabapple flower mirror about ten feet in diameter flickering behind the beautiful woman. They just continued drinking and having fun, laughing.
Wanhua Sect has been operating in Hanyue Temple for so many years, and it has been peaceful for too long.
The nature of the Wanhua Sect also determines that they basically have no enemies... Even the most ferocious and cruel old devil would not harm a group of delicate young girls who do whatever you ask for and let you do whatever you want, right?
Therefore, Hanyue Temple enjoyed peace for six thousand years.
Where is there too much to guard against?
Lu Yi walked past the pink petals and came directly to the thick barrier of Buddha's light.
He placed his hands on the Buddha's light barrier and activated the five great Vajra Dharma images. A strong and fiery Buddhist aura surged out, and a whirlpool suddenly emerged from the Buddha's light barrier and swallowed him in one gulp.
The next moment, Lu Yi came to a bronze Buddhist temple that was made entirely of bronze, with a simple and even somewhat crude shape.
