Honglian Temple, Honglian Hall.
This is the largest main hall in Honglian Temple. On weekdays, it houses the Buddha statues of the past, present and future three Buddhas of Honglian who have the highest status in Honglian Temple. It is also the meeting place for the core and high-level officials of Honglian Temple.
On the lotus pedestal made of red copper, the statue of Red Lotus III, with a compassionate face, overlooks the huge hall.
The contemporary presiding officer of Honglian Temple, the Faceless Buddha, the head of the three living Buddhas, and the Angry-Faced Buddha, one of the three Buddhas, together with hundreds of elders, temple supervisors, hall masters, hall heads, pavilion masters, etc., all wear Wearing a scarlet cassock, he stood in the hall with a solemn expression.
The smallest relics, which are as big as a fist, are suspended in the air, emitting various kinds of light, illuminating the hall.
The Buddhist light and Zen light emitted by thousands of relics are enough to ensure that there is no evil spirit in this hall, and it can also break all invisibility and escape methods.
Unless someone's cultivation is a hundred times stronger than the hundreds of great monks put together, it is impossible for anything said in this hall to be leaked out.
The aura of the Faceless Buddha is weak.
Previously, the eldest prince and the second prince of the Sui Dynasty were competing for the throne. Feng Rong relied on extraordinary means to suddenly inherit the throne. The Faceless Buddha was so angry that he went out in person to fight for the cause of the second prince Feng Entropy.
As a result, he was tricked by the Green Lotus Temple. Drunk Buddha, the guardian of the Green Lotus Temple, invited him to fight, and an unknown powerful master attacked him secretly. The golden body of the Faceless Buddha was destroyed, and only the relics escaped through the air. In the Red Lotus Temple, Babao It was difficult for Chi Zhong to recast his golden body.
The reforged golden body is naturally not as powerful as the original golden body that he had tempered thousands of times.
Today's Faceless Buddha is not only very weak, but even his strength is less than 10% of what he was at his peak. However, he has great authority in Honglian Temple, and all the hundreds of senior officials of Honglian Temple present are still respectful and respectful to him.
"The ancestors of the back mountain are indeed dead." A faint layer of Buddha light lingered on the face of the Faceless Buddha, making it difficult for people to see clearly his facial features. His voice was rich and steady, without any emotional fluctuations, making it difficult for people to hear his emotional changes.
"Half of the sky in my Honglian Temple has collapsed."
The beads in the faceless Buddha's hand passed through the fingertips one by one: "However, it is only half collapsed... The old monk has always said that those ancestors are a scourge. Without them, Honglian Temple will only be better. , not worse.”
With a cold snort, the Faceless Buddha said solemnly: "They are dead, and the old monk is happy in his heart. You should think so too, after all, no one is dictating over us anymore, or giving orders arrogantly."
"A group of people who have died a long time ago. They should actually die honestly. Why are they still in trouble with the younger disciples?"
The words of the Faceless Buddha are a bit harsh.
But there was no sound in the main hall. The high-level officials of Honglian Temple were all solemn, and their faces could not move at all.
The Faceless Buddha looked around, carefully looked at the faces of these brothers, and then nodded slowly: "It seems that all the brothers and old monks have the same idea. This is very good."
"Then let's talk about the most practical issue at the moment."
The Faceless Buddha suddenly sighed heavily: "Master of the Sutra Pavilion, Senior Brother Xingchi, have you still not found the cause of the change in the mountain guarding formation of Honglian Temple? We actually still can't enter or exit the mountain gate?"
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became extremely depressing.
It is obvious that the expressions of these old monks have not changed at all, and the energy in their bodies has not changed at all, but the invisible pressure in the hall suddenly increased tens of thousands of times.
If a young monk with a slightly inferior cultivation level were here, he would probably be crushed to pieces by this sudden increase in pressure.
An old monk with fair skin, a sad look on his face, and dozens of wrinkles on his forehead, with traces of spiritual light rising from his head to the sky like incense smoke, took a step forward and put his hands to the Faceless Buddha. salute.
"Senior Brother, Junior Brother is incompetent. This formation is still the mountain-protecting formation of our Red Lotus Temple. Every formation base, every restriction, every formation eye, every formation disk, every formation flag, formation flag, each The spiritual treasures and Buddhist utensils suppressed everywhere have been inspected one by one by my junior brother."
"Not even a single formation pattern has changed."
"But this formation just doesn't listen to our orders, and all our restraints have lost their effectiveness... We are indeed imprisoned, suppressed, blocked, and isolated by our own mountain-protecting formation."
The sex-crazed old monk smiled bitterly: "And this formation has become... more powerful and more sophisticated. All our Dharma messages cannot be transmitted, and all information from the outside world cannot be transmitted... This matter, if you think about it carefully, I'm afraid pole."
The sex-crazed old monk murmured: "Junior brother, I pride myself on knowing all the esoteric classics of my Red Lotus Temple by heart, and all the formation inheritance...even the formation books that the children secretly got back from Qinglian Temple and White Lotus Palace. , Junior Brother, I am also very familiar with it, and I have also innovated and deduced countless novel formations."
Showing three fingers, the sex-crazy old monk solemnly said: "Junior brother believes that in the entire Sui Dynasty, in terms of formation cultivation, junior brother should be among the top three."
"There may be someone in the White Lotus Palace who can compete with me in terms of formation cultivation. Only in Qinglian Temple, there may be someone whose formation cultivation is slightly better than my junior brother."
After closing his eyes and thinking seriously for a while, the sex-crazy old monk murmured: "White Lotus Palace doesn't focus on formations, and it doesn't talk about him either. After all, it's a magical skill, and those gentlemen don't bother to study it thoroughly. "
"My ancestors of Honglian Temple, they pay more attention to the infinite power of Buddhism, and they value the boundless power of Buddhism... My ancestors of Honglian Temple also don't value the way of formation."
"There are many ancestors in Qinglian Temple who have carefully studied the formations... But junior brother, I dare to swear with the Buddha's heart, even those ancestors in Qinglian Temple... Junior brother, I have broken through the mountain protective formation of Qinglian Temple many times and sneaked into his Qinglian Temple. Peeping from various secret places, we can see that the great formation of Qinglian Temple is nothing more than this for me, my junior brother."
"So, Junior Brother, I dare to say that in the huge Sui Dynasty continent, throughout the ages, Junior Brother, my formation attainments can be ranked among the top three..."
The faceless Buddha's voice still showed no emotion: "Even so, you still can't break through the mutation formation that has trapped all the doors of my Red Lotus Temple?"
The sexually infatuated old monk's face was slightly red, he put his hands together and saluted the Faceless Buddha, and said with a wry smile: "Junior brother, you are incompetent."
Faceless Buddha said softly: "It's not that you are incompetent, it's that the enemy is too clever... It seems that the demise of my ancestors in Honglian Temple is inseparable from him. So, what does he want to do? Tell me, What does he want to do?"
All the great monks remained silent.
It’s scary to think about it.
It’s really horrifying to think about it - a certain person sneaked into the back mountain of Honglian Temple and killed all the ancestors of Honglian Temple who had banned themselves. Not even a hair was left... Sorry, the ancestors of Honglian Temple were originally No hair.
Then, he used inexplicable means to change the mountain-protecting formation of Honglian Temple.
As a result, for nearly a year, Honglian Temple was isolated inside and outside, and there was no news. No one could step out of the mountain gate. No one from the hidden traps arranged by Honglian Temple returned to the mountain gate to report the news.
What is happening outside
What's going on outside
A group of great monks who had cultivated to the point where their hearts were like stagnant water and had no troubles could not help but feel trembling in their hearts.
If that person wanted to destroy Honglian Temple using such methods, wouldn't it be difficult to do so
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the earth-shattering sound of bells and drums coming from the bell and drum tower at the entrance of Honglian Temple.
