The snowy night was quiet, and even Xia Xiaosu, who had brought her mutton soup supper, went back to sleep, but the candlestick in the library was lit all night, and Xia Ji also read books all night.
Early the next morning, without rest, he led people directly to the mansions of several powerful people.
Everywhere he went, he went directly into the library. Once inside, he spent four or five hours picking and choosing, and only came out after he had gone through most of the books.
After going to three mansions in this way, it was dawn again on the third day.
The heavy snowfall was raging, and the remaining seven princes in the imperial capital were wrapped in fox furs, walked through the streets of the imperial city that the common people were still in the dark about, and entered the sealed palace.
He returned to the palace and slept until noon. After having lunch with Xia Xiaosu, he went to the royal armory. The door of the armory was opened. It was extremely messy and had been turned over. Naturally, all the important treasures were taken away, and the remaining Either it was too heavy, or it was an ordinary famous weapon.
The guards were waiting in front of the door, and the sound of empty footsteps came from the royal armory.
The eunuch in charge of the treasury, Shenxiu, carefully followed the young prince, now the temporary master of the palace.
Whenever the prince stopped, he would hurriedly tell the story of the weapons in front of him.
Xia Ji asked: "What are the strongest weapons in the arsenal?"
The eunuch in charge of the warehouse said hurriedly: "There are three weapons that can be called divine weapons, the Xuanyuan Dragon Sword, the Juque National Gun, and the Great Dark Sky Halberd."
"Did you take them all away?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, the Great Dark Sky Halberd has not been taken away."
"Why?"
"Because of its ominous appearance, this is a demonic halberd that can mess with people's sanity. It is said that this halberd caused a bloody storm hundreds of years ago, and was later sealed and suppressed in the palace. The demonic energy has not diminished but increased."
"It turns out it was abandoned here, so why is it said to be a magic halberd?"
"It is said that this halberd can confuse people's minds and make people mentally confused, and all its users in the past generations eventually went crazy. Except for one who cut off his meridians, abolished martial arts, and spent the rest of his life as a green lantern ancient Buddha, he was saved from disaster."
"Take me to see it."
The eunuch in charge of the warehouse led the way, and the two quickly arrived at the corner of the armory.
There is a sarcophagus in the corner. There is a foot of free space around the sarcophagus, and nothing is placed there.
The eunuch hurriedly stepped forward and pushed open the lid of the coffin, revealing a double crescent halberd lying quietly inside. It was eight feet long and shaped like a painted halberd by Fang Tian. However, it was completely dark and had some kind of strange smell. The ominous aura, even if you are just a little closer, you can feel the cold air rising, which makes people feel creepy.
The eunuch in charge of the warehouse was horrified. Just looking at the black halberd, he felt as if he was being stared at in the dark by a devil that chose people to eat. Fear made him move instinctively, wanting to go up and close the coffin lid.
He just took a step forward when Xia Ji suddenly raised his hand to stop him, "Who told you to move?"
The eunuch in charge of the treasury said hurriedly: "Your Highness, this is a vicious soldier, it is ominous to see it..."
Before he finished speaking, Xia Ji leaned over and grabbed the black halberd.
Fingers clenched.
And strange black energy spread out from between his fingers, and actually penetrated into his skin, and some of it was like a long snake climbing up his arms, up his neck, and then crawled towards him. Ajna.
However, after an instant, all the black energy retracted and retreated into the black halberd, as if being struck by electricity.
Xia Ji possesses the ninth level of third-generation Buddha Zen. In the spiritual world, he is almost like a walking Buddha. Not to mention that this demon soldier can only emit demonic energy. Even if he walks in the demonic energy or sleeps in the demonic energy, he will not Will not be eroded.
He held the black halberd horizontally, and the black energy around the halberd was like a devil snake swimming and constricting around the pole. The black energy wanted to climb up the young prince's arm, but he didn't dare, and the speed slowed down a lot.
Xia Ji thought for a moment and said, "This is the weapon."
The eunuch in charge of the treasury was so frightened that he forgot what he was doing and advised: "No, absolutely not, this..."
Xia Ji turned his head and glanced at the eunuch. The eunuch shut up. He swallowed and took two steps back in fear, not knowing how to persuade the stubborn prince.
It was obviously the depth of winter, but the eunuch couldn't help but sweat all over his head, and kept raising his sleeves to wipe away the sweat.
Xia Ji didn't say much and said directly: "Is there any sealed magic armor? Take me to see it."
There were so many treasures in the palace arsenal that the emperor could not take them with him when he retreated, so they naturally flowed down. To a certain extent, they were all abandoned.
The eunuch in charge of the warehouse led the way, and soon came to an inconspicuous hidden corner. Hanging on the iron frame in the corner was a set of dark animal-faced head-swallowing chain armor. The animal's eyes were tightly closed, with a gap showing through, and people could still see it from a distance. Two cold gleams were vaguely visible.
There are actually fourteen golden chains with Sanskrit flowing on the outside of the armor, which should be similar to seal-like magic weapons.
Xia Ji raised his hand to grab the chain and pinched it off directly.
Before the strength was enough, the golden Sanskrit characters on the chains seemed to come to life and swarmed over like tadpoles. For a moment, the golden light bloomed, seeming to resist this "invading enemy".
The eunuch in charge of the treasury spoke hurriedly, trying to interrupt the young prince's crazy behavior, "Your Majesty the Seventh Prince, this is the Buddha's lock that many holy monks worked together to perform rituals. Let alone pinch it, even if it is done with magic weapons, Even if you can’t cut it, let’s go look at the other armors, shall we?”
However, Xia Ji was not moved at all. His left hand suddenly made a gesture of respect. The Buddha's light around him was awe-inspiring, and his Zen spirit rose. He stretched out his right hand again, and it had grown eighteen times. Each circle was a layer of hell. Eighteen times combined. One, for the Eighteen Prison Dharma Ministers, he once again held the chain and smiled.
Those golden Sanskrit characters felt that the Buddha's intention seemed a little "at a loss", and they all dispersed.
Afterwards, Xia Ji easily cut off the chains one by one under the frightened eyes of the eunuch.
Ding ding ding! !
…
The golden Sanskrit chains broke one after another, and the golden light on them suddenly disappeared, turning into pieces of dark iron and falling heavily to the ground.
As the last chain broke, a dark wind filled the entire armory, and the magic armor exploded like a small black scorching sun. The black smoke dispersed, causing all the candles lit indoors and the sunlight pouring in outside to disappear.
The eunuch in charge of the warehouse could no longer bear the fear in his heart. He screamed in horror and stumbled away. He fell down halfway, but he still crawled out desperately, tears streaming down his face, and urinating incontinently, but he was no longer in control. Sleep.
Xia Ji stood alone, his palm gently touching the magic armor through the darkness. The black magic energy was pouring out like a bursting reservoir. The evil energy that disturbed people's minds had already wrapped up his body.
But the young prince still smiled.
Just like the Buddha holding flowers on Lingshan Mountain and smiling.
If the Buddha's heart is empty, it will not be able to touch flowers or colors. But if the Buddha's heart is empty, how can there be flowers or colors in the world? Emptiness is color, and form is emptiness. There is nothing in the first place, so how can it cause dust
Therefore, the Buddha could hold flowers and smile, and all the monks kept the precepts, but no one understood what he meant. They were all meditating hard. Only Kassapa smiled, so Kassapa received the inheritance.
At this time, Xia Ji was in the midst of billowing demonic energy, and he was in the same state of mind. If he followed the Buddhist teachings for three generations of Buddhist meditation, he would have already passed through the sea of suffering.
This is extremely contradictory, because if you have attachments and have not realized it, you will not be able to overcome the sea of suffering. But he survived, but he still had great obsessions, just because he was not attached to great obsessions, nor was he attached to great obsessions. When you think, the mind becomes attachment, and attachment becomes the heart. Therefore, even if you have attachment, you have no attachment, and your body and mind do not stir up dust.
