Chapter 175 Hangci Pudu
The rockery is very large, and there are mechanisms. With a gentle push, there is an entrance to the rockery.
The two of them went in through the entrance and saw that there was a tunnel inside, going down all the way. The tunnel was illuminated by fire pillars, and with the golden light from the depths of the tunnel, it didn't feel dark at all.
After walking a few steps, they saw the guards in the tunnel, sitting cross-legged on the ground, chanting "Om Mani Padme Hum~", with a solemn look, more like a monk than any monk the two had ever seen.
Further inside, there were cells. There were bloodstains in the cells, but they were all empty, with no prisoners. There were only two cells at the deepest, with people imprisoned.
One was a wooden prison, with fences made of wooden pillars, and the surrounding walls were also made of wood, with large seal characters engraved on them. The two did not recognize the large seal characters, and saw a circle of flames burning in the wooden prison. In the flames, there was a monk, with his upper body exposed, pierced through the scapula by a wooden thorn, and hung on a wooden rack.
Dark red blood scabs hung on his body. He lowered his head and gently chanted "Om Mani Padme Hum~" with his lips. The golden Buddha light came out from his body.
As he got closer, Zhang Zichen felt a little dizzy and quickly chanted more golden light mantras, which made him feel better.
It seems that he is the one who made this brainwashing Buddhist sound.
Opposite him, there is an iron cell, with copper and iron all over his body. There is a man with disheveled hair, who is locked in the iron with a finger as thick as a finger.
"Ah~ Two more unlucky guys. Stupid! Unlucky!" Obviously, it was people who were locked in, but he said that others were unlucky. Pointing at Zhang Zichen and Wang Jinjue, he clapped his hands and said.
The brainwashing Buddhist sound had no effect on him.
Wang Jinjue confirmed with his eyes that this person was a fool.
"My two friends... I was harmed by a villain and trapped here! I hope you two friends can help me... get out of this predicament by pulling out this [Dragon Subduing Wood]." The old monk in the wooden dragon said weakly.
Zhang Zichen and Wang Jinjue are not fools. This monk is probably the "Demon Monk Hangci Pudu". Brainwashing Buddhist music is his specialty.
It's just that in this Ming Dynasty, the king is not a king, the ministers are not ministers, and people are more cruel than demons. Demons eat people more fiercely than people eat people.
Demons are not scary! The rich and powerful are more scary!
At present, they are in the palace. This imprisoned demon monk is probably not on good terms with Jiajing, otherwise he would not be imprisoned here.
The enemy of the enemy is not necessarily a friend, but he will definitely ruin the enemy's good deeds.
After thinking about this in their minds, Zhang Zichen and Wang Jinjue looked at each other. Wang Jinjue pointed to the micro-nuclear bomb in his hand, which meant that they also had a trump card. Zhang Zichen's eyes twitched, and he said to the imprisoned old monk: "When I see injustice, I will naturally draw my sword to help. I just hope that after the master is freed, he will not repay kindness with hatred!"
"The old monk is not a rude person."
"How can I help the master get out of trouble?"
"There is a strong man behind this young friend. Let the strong man break the cage and pull out the [Dragon Subduing Wood] on the old monk's body." The old monk said slowly.
Wang Jinjue nodded, and he let the flesh and blood puppet break the cage and pull out the wooden thorn stuck in the scapula as the old monk said.
As the wooden thorn was pulled out, the old monk's body was shining with golden light, and the wound slowly healed. After a while, the old monk's wound recovered, and he put on a yellow monk's robe again, and his complexion was much better.
He put away the Buddhist chanting, bowed slightly to the two people and said: "I am a poor monk, thank you two young friends."
"You're welcome. I wonder how the master was trapped here?" Zhang Zichen asked as if he didn't mean to.
"Alas, this is a long story." Hangci Pudu sighed, "The person I trusted was not a good person, and I was framed by a traitor. Not only was I trapped, but the [Mantra Pearl] passed down by the ancestors was also taken away by the traitor. The death of the old monk is a small matter, but the [Mantra Pearl] must be found back."
Mantra Pearl is the wisdom pearl and the wish-fulfilling pearl. It is a general term for the pearl instruments in Buddhism, not just a single instrument.
"I wonder where this [Mantra Pearl] is?" Zhang Zichen followed the old monk's words and changed the subject.
Who is the traitor? Why is he imprisoned in this palace? Who is imprisoned?
Who are Wang Jinjue and Zhang Zichen? Why did they appear in the palace at this time? Why did they save him?
The three people knew it well, and they pretended to be confused. They knew that the people in front of them were not enemies, but people who could cooperate in the environment of the palace.
"The Mani Pearl is in the Hualong Hall! I am now out of trouble and am going to the Hualong Hall!" After a pause, Hang Ci Pu Du said, "If you two don't mind, you can go to the Hualong Hall with me. I will definitely keep you safe."
If you want to go, go, why call us two? Is there any conspiracy?
"That's great." Zhang Zichen agreed immediately. He was not afraid of conspiracy, but he was afraid that this evil monk would not make trouble. Now that Tang Yin was trapped, they needed someone to make trouble in the palace.
As for danger, what can't be done without danger? He has the magic talisman, and Wang Jinjue has a miniature nuclear bomb. If it doesn't work, drop the nuclear bomb and turn into light. Anyway, Tang Yin is not afraid of nuclear bombs!
Hang Ci Pu Du looked at Zhang Zichen's promise and became suspicious. He came to the capital this time because he was summoned by the emperor.
Since he ascended the throne, Emperor Jiajing has always respected Taoism and suppressed Buddhism, including civil and military ministers. Anyone who said bad things about Taoism would be dismissed from office at the lightest and punished at the worst. Taoist temples flourished in the world, but Buddhist temples were few and far between.
He Hangci Pudu was summoned by the emperor, and he thought that the emperor wanted to consult him about Buddhism, so that he could soar to the sky and become the leader of the Buddhist sect in the world. But he never wanted to borrow his inner elixir to collect enough "Nine Dragon Pearls" to practice "Dragon Transformation Method" so that the emperor could become a real dragon in the world and enjoy the imperial power forever.
"After this emperor succeeds, I will reward you with a famous mountain and ancient temple for you to practice. What do you think?"
Hearing Jiajing casually say that he would exchange a temple for his inner elixir, Hang Ci Pu Du was almost angry to death. He had practiced his inner elixir for thousands of years, which was his capital to travel the world. Now he did it for a temple.
It is said that Emperor Jiajing was the most mean.
Mean! It is a high EQ evaluation and a compliment to Jiajing!
"Since the emperor is unwilling to listen to Buddhism, then I can do some boxing." Ci Hang Pu Du still remembers the surprise on Jiajing's face when he said this.
It was a kind of surprise that a little bug dared to resist fate.
He was about to make Jiajing suffer a little, but he was beaten up by the three Taoists in the palace. These bull noses really don't follow the ethics of martial arts. Three people beat one, sneak attacking him, a monster over a thousand years old, and forcibly digging out his inner elixir and trapping him here.
If the palace had not encountered a strong enemy today, the palace had opened a large formation and the guards were loose, and the three bull noses could not take care of him, he might not be able to release the Sanskrit sound of salvation.
I think these two people came with that strong enemy.
There are so many heroes in the world, don't underestimate them!
Now he has to go to the Dragon Transformation Hall to get his inner elixir back. If he possesses other "dragon balls", he may be able to transform into a dragon!
Kou Ya! This bald donkey has a good plan!
