Chapter 986: Pagoda Forest, Relic, Guiyuan Pagoda

"Hehe, I have no intention of chasing guests." Master Chang Geng said with a smile: "I feel that there is still some time before the martial arts conference, and Yixia Town is only a few days away from my Dalin Temple. The benefactor might as well go to the genius physicist." Take a look, maybe you can find something, but it’s not certain.”

"Yixia Town?" Zhang Hua was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood that Yixia Town, Hou Mingcheng, wasn't the top one on the list that Master Chang Geng taught him just now?

Zhang Hua felt very ashamed, bowed and said: "Your son is rude, you have judged the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a man, and I hope the master will be gracious."

Seeing Zhang Hua being so honest, Master Chang Geng was also relieved, he stretched out his hand to help him up and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you are a guest from afar, and you sincerely worship the previous abbot of that temple, it's amiable, how can I care about it?"

Zhang Hua blushed a little again, she was just paying respects to Master Jing Yi, how could it be as Master Chang Geng said? As a result, he also had a different impression of Master Chang Geng than before, and said, "Master, please lead the way. By the way, Master, Tallinn... is also famous?"

"Hahaha" Master Chang Geng waved his hand and said, "Please go with me."

Master Chang Geng took Zhang Hua and Meng with him, followed by several monks from Dalin Temple. He went up the mountain road on the left side of Dalin Temple and went behind the mountain.

Walking on the road, Master Chang Geng said: "The Pagoda Forest of Dalin Temple is a famous place in the world..."

After hearing the opening sentence, Zhang Hua sweated profusely, feeling quite ashamed of his ignorance.

"However, Chuanxiangjiao has always been closed, and Ren Benefactor probably seldom walks around in the rivers and lakes. It's understandable if I don't know."

Zhang Hua smiled and did not answer.

"This pagoda forest is the tomb of the great masters of my Dalin Temple. Since the Dalin Temple was built, only those famous and accomplished masters built pagodas in the pagoda forest after their death to show their merits. And this The height, size, and number of floors of the pagoda are determined according to the masters' knowledge of Buddhism, prestige, and merit. Alas, the martial arts that are valued in the Jianghu have become insignificant."

"Oh, I understand." Zhang Hua nodded and said, "The master's ashes or bones should be placed under this pagoda."

"No, no..." Master Chang Geng shook his head and said, "If that's the case, wouldn't it be no different from an ordinary tomb? This pagoda is only used to commemorate the eminent monks of Buddhism and Taoism. Their bones, no, should be relics and other objects ,

They are all placed in the Guiyuan Pagoda for preservation.”

"Relic? Guiyuan Pagoda?" Zhang Hua was very puzzled: "What is the relic? Where is this Guiyuan Pagoda? With the pagoda forest, wouldn't it be convenient to put the bones into the pagoda for worship? Why put it in again?" Guiyuan Pagoda?"

"Hehe, the benefactor does not know that the relic is the remains of my eminent monk who has passed away, and this one is different from the bones of ordinary people. Its shape is ever-changing, there are round and oval. There are also lotus flower shapes, even Buddha shapes and Bodhisattva shapes, even the colors are different, there are black, white, red, green and other colors, which look very awe-inspiring, like Pearls, agates, and crystals are all related to the practice of eminent monks. Although the old monk has great martial arts skills, if he can refine them into relics after he passes away, he can be regarded as successful in his cultivation in this life."

"Huh? This...isn't this similar to... the spirit beast in Huanxu? There is something inside?" Zhang Hua was slightly taken aback, and he naturally compared the relic with some beast pills in his belt But immediately, Zhang Hua thought of the hundreds of round beads he found in that strange pavilion that were similar to the relics that Master Chang Geng said

"Are those relics?" Zhang Hua thought to himself, but how dare he take out the round beads? After thinking for a while, Zhang Hua tentatively said: "Master is so skilled in martial arts, after passing away, there must be relics."

"Huh?" Master Chang Geng was also surprised, turned to look at Zhang Hua and said, "How can benefactor Ren be so sure?"

"Hey, the master is the law enforcement elder of Dalin Temple. If the master passes away and there is no relic, how many disciples in this generation of your temple can there be?" Zhang Hua explained, and then apologized: "My son is so rude to talk. Grandmaster's funeral matters, but master must forgive."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Master Chang Geng waved his hand and said, "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form, life is death, and death is life. If I can't even understand this, what is the relic?"

Afterwards, he laughed again: "Although the benefactor's words are arbitrary, there is some truth in them. Although Buddhist attainments have always been the joints of relics, but... if the martial arts are not high, the relics... cough cough, There may be, but it is limited. Of course, my Dalin Temple attaches equal importance to Buddhism and martial arts, and even regards martial arts as trivial. If my disciples of Dalin Temple want to reach the peak of martial arts, they must also be proficient in Buddhism. Otherwise, it is very easy to go crazy. good death"

"Ah? There is such a saying?" Zhang Hua said dumbfounded: "Then what the master said just now, it seems that there will not be too many monks who are highly accomplished in Buddhism and not skilled in martial arts."

"What the benefactor said is very true." Master Chang Geng nodded: "I have always been like this among the eminent monks of Dalin Temple. Anyone who has attained a high level of Buddhism and martial arts can easily master it, except for a few masters who are only obsessed with Buddhism and do not want to practice martial arts."

"Well..." Zhang Hua felt a little rejoicing at this moment: "It seems that those beads should not be some relics."

"Oh, by the way, Master, the Dalin Temple has been standing in the rivers and lakes for so many years, how many pagodas are there in the pagoda forest?" Zhang Hua asked again.

"Not many, not many, that's ninety-nine thousand eight hundred and three" Master Chang Geng didn't say much, but his eyes were full of pride.

"Ah? So many?" Zhang Hua and Meng were shocked: "Then... how big is this Tallinn?"

"Look, benefactor." Master Chang Geng pointed to the undulating mountain range in front of him, and said, "There are pagodas on top of this mountain range. Is this tower forest the entire mountain range?"

As soon as Zhang Hua and Meng looked up, no, not far away, on the mountains that were already clearly visible, there were countless pagodas, or four corners, or five corners, or seven or eight corners, or nine corners, or pillars They are either in the shape of a vertical triangle, or in the shape of a bottle, or in the shape of a gourd, or in the shape of a trumpet, or in the shape of a water drop. There are many types, and the shapes are strange, and there are so many.

Although it is far away, there are countless patterns carved on the pagoda, some flying, some birds and beasts, some Buddhas, some bliss, the patterns are all lifelike, although it is far away, but also I can feel the blood in it.

But it seems that it is very similar to the pattern in the pavilion that Zhang Hua entered.

"Master, is that... the Guiyuan Pagoda?" Zhang Hua pointed to a tall Buddhist pagoda built against the mountain, and asked without hesitation.

"The almsgiver is absolutely right. That is the Guiyuan Pagoda in my Dalin Temple pagoda." Master Changgeng looked at the huge pagoda with reverence in his eyes, and said solemnly: "This Guiyuan Pagoda is located next to the mountain. The entire height of the Guiyuan Pagoda is as high as a mountain range. On the top of the mountain, the spire of the Guiyuan Pagoda can be seen to be higher than the tallest pagoda in the pagoda forest. The Guiyuan Pagoda occupies a huge area, only the gate of the pagoda is located. 1ù is inside the Pagoda Forest, and most of the Guiyuan Pagoda is blocked by mountains and forests, so it is impossible to get a glimpse of the whole picture.”

"Tsk tsk..." Zhang Hua exclaimed, "The relics of more than 90,000 eminent monks will be placed in the Guiyuan Pagoda..."

At this time, Zhang Hua already knew thoroughly that the place he went to was definitely not Guiyuan Pagoda, and the round beads he got were definitely not relics.

"Hehe, what the benefactor said is not entirely correct." Master Chang Geng corrected: "There are eminent monks in Dalin Temple who are qualified to build pagodas, and the relics must be put in this Guiyuan Pagoda. In addition, even if they are not qualified to build Buddhist pagoda, as long as the relics are cultivated, you can also put the relics into this Guiyuan Pagoda to worship."

"Ah???" Zhang Hua was shocked: "Then...the relic in Guiyuan Pagoda...no, it's the master after passing away...isn't it..."

"Amitabha, what the almsgiver said is absolutely correct." Master Chang Geng clasped his palms together: "There are countless eminent monks enshrined in the Guiyuan Pagoda through the ages."

It was very natural, Zhang Hua knew that the round beads he got were not relics, and he connected the relics in the Guiyuan Pagoda with the demon pill he got, and instantly thought, if he could explore the Guiyuan Pagoda, then ... Wouldn't the harvest be... big?

But immediately, Zhang Hua denied his own thoughts. After all, the relics of eminent monks are still the bones of the master, not to mention how virtuous and respected the master was before he was alive. Buddhas of thousands of families are ordinary monks, and they are also human corpses. to offend

Looking at the huge Guiyuan Pagoda, Zhang Hua was full of regret, and sighed: "There are so many relics, such a tall pagoda, it is not easy to place the relics even once."

"This..." Master Chang Geng had a look of admiration on his face, he shook his head and said, "The benefactor is wrong this time."

"Why?" Not only Zhang Hua, but Meng Meng was also curious.

"This Guiyuan Pagoda was built by my Dalin Temple immortal masters. Inside the pagoda is the most powerful formation in the world. No one can enter it. However, if there are relics of eminent monks who need to be enshrined, only the abbots of the past generations will hold me. Only the treasures inherited from Dalin Temple can enter the gate of this pagoda, as long as the relics are placed in a place in the pagoda, the relics will be automatically protected by the formation in Guiyuan Pagoda, and there is no need for people to place them at all."

"Ah?" Zhang Hua was dumbfounded: "And...is there such a wonderful thing?"

Seeing Zhang Hua's astonishment, Master Chang Geng was incomparably happy, and said: "Your religion has a large formation to protect the religion, and there is also a large formation to protect the peak. It is not surprising that my Dalin Temple has such a formation to protect the tower."

"Eminent monks who have attained the Tao also have the determination to win or lose?" Zhang Hua curled his lips secretly in his heart, and just smiled, and didn't answer.
