Chapter 832 Purpose of the Journey North
Chapter 832 Purpose of the Journey North
Gu Jianchi has a sharp mind, and it is not difficult for him to draw inferences from one instance.
He thought for a while and said, "Master, could it be that Junior Brother Xiaochuan's trip to the Northern Frontier this time is not for training, nor for sending Miss Xiaochi, the three-tailed fox demon, to Tianchi, but is related to the curse of the two swords?"
He quickly thought of this. If it had nothing to do with the curse of the seven-life resentful couple, Senior Uncle Jingshui would never let him go.
Yu Jizi was quite impressed with the intelligence of his eldest disciple.
He nodded gently and said, "Well, there are some secrets that only the successive leaders of the Cangyun Sect know. According to the oral tradition of the successive leaders, the body of the Zhanchen Sword is engraved with the long-lost sacrificial language of the ancient witch tribe in southern Xinjiang, the Ghost Cloud Script. If you want to decipher this language, I'm afraid that only the high priest of the elves who migrated from southern Xinjiang to northern Xinjiang tens of thousands of years ago can do it. I asked Junior Brother Li Feiyu to secretly ask Du Chun, who has a good relationship with Ye Xiaochuan. According to Du Chun, Ye Xiaochuan was actually looking for the elves this time. When the master learned about this, he secretly added fuel to the fire. On the one hand, he also wanted to resolve the curse of the two swords. After all, Xiaochuan and Qiyou are The hope for the rise of my Cangyun lineage must not be lost. Secondly, there is another important reason why so many people were sent to the Northern Frontier this time. You should know that this trip to the north is unusual, but you don’t know the specific reason. There is a rare treasure in the Northern Frontier with pure spiritual power. If you can find it and bring it back, there is hope to dissolve the evil spirit of the Xuanling Qiankun bracelet. Third, the ancestor said that there is a big secret in the Tianchi of Changbai Mountain, which seems to be left by the predecessor of the evil god. This time Xiaochuan sent Miss Xiaochi back to Tianchi, and she must live there for a while. Exploring the secret of Tianchi is also the top priority. "
Understood, Gu Jianchi completely understood. He began to have the same idea as Sun Yao, just simply thinking that Ye Xiaochuan went down the mountain to practice, or went so far to the Northern Frontier, in order to avoid suspicion, so as not to let himself have any doubts about him.
Unexpectedly, never expected that this seemingly simple trip to play and practice, there are so many shocking secrets inside.
It seems that in the northern team, I am afraid that only Ye Xiaochuan and Yun Qiyou, the two parties of the seven-life grudge couple, don’t know why so many elite disciples went to the Northern Frontier.
Among Du Chun, Su Qin, Zhao Wuji, Chu Tianxing, Qi Feiyuan and others, there must be someone whose mission is to find the treasures in the northern border and explore the secrets of Tianchi. It is even possible that these people know it, but they are just hiding it from Ye Xiaochuan and Yun Qiyou.
Ye Xiaochuan had heard before that Jiaye Temple is full of hidden talents and countless masters, especially there are countless supreme Buddhist scriptures, the scriptures in the Sutra Library are all-encompassing, and there is also an old monk who sweeps the floor, and the Buddhist Dharma is boundless...
All his fantasies were shattered after he entered the Sutra Library. The Sutra Library is very large, like the relic pagoda on the back mountain of Wanfo Peak. The tall Sutra Library has seven floors, which means a seven-story pagoda.
There was no heavy guard outside the Sutra Library, but many bald monks were seen coming in and out.
Ye Xiaochuan was surprised and said, "Brother Jiekong, I heard that this Sutra Library is an important place in Jiaye Temple. Why is the defense so lax?"
Jiekong, Jiechen, Jiexian and others all laughed, knowing that another young man who was poisoned by rumors and legends would probably have his fantasy shattered.
Jiekong did not answer, but just let Ye Xiaochuan and others go in and take a look.
Walking into the first floor of the Sutra Library, there was no collection of thousands of volumes of books. There were three long tables on the first floor of the large pagoda, just like the dining table in the dining hall, very long, and many bald monks were sitting on both sides of the table, writing and drawing with brushes.
There were also many monks who put the transcribed scriptures in a bamboo basket, which was immediately pulled to the second and third floors of the pagoda by ropes...
Jiekong then explained: "The Sutra Library is not as mysterious as the outside world says. In fact, it is just a place for storing books. Every day, hundreds of brothers and sisters transcribe scriptures and classics here. Now there are seven Sutra Library, with about four million books. This Sutra Library was built a hundred years ago. In about two or three hundred years, this Sutra Library will be full of scriptures and classics, and then the eighth Sutra Library will be built."
Ye Xiaochuan immediately lost interest in visiting the Sutra Library. He pouted and looked disappointed. He originally wanted to learn a few Buddhist classics, such as the Diamond Sutra, the Marrow Washing Sutra, and the Muscle-Changing Sutra. Now it seems that he thought too much.
Others were not disappointed. Everyone was shocked to hear that the Sutra Library in Jiaye Temple now has more than four million volumes. This is almost catching up with the underground library of Cangyunmen.
It seems that the reputation of this Buddhist temple is indeed exaggerated.
Ye Xiaochuan was reluctantly dragged up the pagoda by Du Chun, and casually flipped through the books on the basic bookshelf. There are not many Buddhist scriptures, but some irrelevant things. There are even some Taoist books, and there are too many Confucian classics. It is better to read the picture books and comics in your Qiankun bag than to read these.
After visiting the Sutra Library for half a day, we went to the pagoda forest in the back mountain.
There were countless pagodas standing in a row, at least hundreds or thousands of them, and the tour guide Jiekong introduced them to everyone.
"The stupa forest is where the Dharmakaya relics of the great monks of our Jiaye Temple are stored. There are more than 1,300 stupas now. The tallest stone stupa to the west is where the founder Tian Chanzi passed away. His Dharmakaya remains. You may as well follow me to pay homage to him."
The fact that people do not decay after death may be mysterious to ordinary people, but for cultivators, it is not mysterious at all.
After death, a large amount of true essence and spiritual power in the body of a master who has reached the realm of immortality does not dissipate, but solidifies with blood, tendons and bones, and the skin is like blue stone, which will not change for tens of millions of years.
To put it bluntly, the body turns into stone.
This kind of death is not uncommon in the world of cultivation, and it is called petrified body.
Ye Xiaochuan knew without looking that Tian Chanzi's petrified body must be painted with gold paint, otherwise it must be blue skin.
Following Jie Kong to the stone tower, it was indeed the case. On the seventh floor, the highest point of the stone tower, he saw the true appearance of Tian Chanzi who had passed away thousands of years ago.
It was a fat old man with a very haggard appearance, sitting cross-legged on a jade plate, covered with gold powder and copper paint all over his body, looking like an old Buddha statue.
Although Ye Xiaochuan guessed correctly, he couldn't help but feel a little fascinated to see this great monk who founded the thousands of years of foundation of Jiaye Temple with his own eyes.
As the younger generation, everyone knelt down and worshiped the golden statue of Tian Chanzi. Ye Xiaochuan kowtowed and burned incense while muttering in his heart.
It seems that the rumors are true. Tian Chanzi used to be a wandering monk with a big chain. It is said that he is very fat and a monk who eats meat and drinks. Ye Xiaochuan used to think that Tian Chanzi, a great monk, could not be the same as Liu Jie and Jiese. As a result, when he saw Tian Chanzi's sitting body, he understood. How could an old man who doesn't eat meat have such a fat body?
