After exploring countless secret realms, Zhao Changhe's ability in digging holes is almost as good as Ying Wu's. Well, he is far superior in terms of the level of digging other holes.
By observing the direction of the flow of the faith energy, you will know where the entrance to the secret realm is, and there is no need to look for it.
Zhao Changhe followed the air to the entrance, with a string of ellipsis in his mind.
Why is there another opening behind the Buddha? Can you monks be a little more creative? Why are all the places related to the monks' secret tunnels behind the Buddha
According to our current understanding of various secret realms, they were all formed naturally, and there would not be any entrance switches such as formations or mechanisms. It was just like jumping from the belly of a volcano and directly entering another dimension.
The reason why there are various entrances is either because there are still brave men who survived the scene, such as Xuanwu who temporarily set up a stone formation outside to cover it, and it can be seen that it was set up very hastily and casually; or the descendants who found this secret realm made a facade outside, such as the Wang family who built an altar and linked it to a mechanism, but in fact it was just the Zhenhai Sword inserted in the stone.
So rather than digging a hole behind the Buddha statue, it would be more accurate to say that a Buddha statue was built at the entrance to conceal the truth. Zhao Changhe stretched out his hand and pressed it behind the Buddha statue, using the Crane Control Technique to penetrate it, and easily opened the door from the inside and entered the Buddha statue.
Then there is no need to figure out how to crack it. You just need to make a small jump on the spot inside, exert force with your feet, and "push" into another dimension.
Knowing the nature of the secret realm, cracking it is so easy.
However, the scene after entering was beyond Zhao Changhe's expectations and he was shocked.
I thought it was just a small dungeon, maybe a tomb with a Buddha lying inside; or maybe there were many guards inside, and I would face all kinds of attacks once I came in. But it turned out to be an endless vast area, with grass and water in front of me, and even continuous mountains in the distance, which was similar to the Eldar Great Secret Realm.
With such a vast secret realm, normally there should be a heavenly book... It's strange that the blind man didn't give any hint.
Zhao Changhe's first reaction was to run towards the mountains over there. He didn't know if he had been seen by everyone on this plain. It was like being stared at nakedly, which was extremely embarrassing.
Rushing into the mountains, the surrounding trees and rocks made people feel a little more at ease. Zhao Changhe looked around with an even weirder expression.
It is the twelfth lunar month outside and the Laba Festival, but here it is as hot as summer. Looking up, there is a scorching sun hanging high in the sky, as dazzling as a huge fireball.
This is counterintuitive... The secret realm is a small broken space. Normally, there should be no sun and moon. Darkness and chaos are the norm. The sun and moon of the spirit race are very likely fakes. Considering that this is a Buddhist secret realm, could it be the intention of Vairocana Tathagata
If there is anything that can counter the Night Emperor, it wouldn't be this, right
A corner of the eaves of a temple hall was faintly visible in the mountains. Zhao Changhe carefully leaned over and soon saw an ancient temple.
It is not entirely "ancient" because there are monks sent by Yuan Cheng and others to guard and garrison here, or to practice in it, and the temple has gone through two eras, and the colored glaze is as good as new. However, there are broken walls and collapsed houses everywhere, and they have never been repaired. It looks very dilapidated, but you can still find some ancient charm.
At this time, a group of old monks were sitting cross-legged in the square in front of the Main Hall, chanting scriptures around a golden ancient Buddha in the center of the square.
Looking closely, this is not a Buddha statue.
It was the corpse of an ancient Buddha, sitting here, one hand pointing to the ground, the other to the sky, eyes wide open, in the dilapidated environment around it, there was a sense of a Vajra roaring and unwilling to struggle. Its robes were intact, its face was full, and its body was shining with golden light, which was fundamentally different from those mummies in Huanghuang.
Ancient Buddhism is indestructible!
However, the body is not decayed, and it seems that the soul has not returned, and now it looks like a sculpture.
The power of faith penetrated into his body, proving that he was not dead yet, and there was still hope for his resurrection. If faith was expanded over the years, he should be able to be resurrected. From this point of view, it is possible that there is more than one such Vajra Buddha. It is a pity that Xia Longyuan killed one or more resurrected Buddhas in the early years, and the decree of exterminating Buddhism was issued, interrupting the process, so that it has only started again now.
But the force of faith here is not right... and neither is Buddha.
Zhao Changhe vaguely saw that within the faith that was supposed to be very pure, there were a lot of violence, confusion, disputes, and conflicts hidden. These were different in nature from the blood evil, brutality, bloodthirstiness, hatred, etc. that he had come into contact with before, but they were all negative wills. Most people might not be able to tell the difference. Only someone like him who started out by learning the power of blood evil and had the heavenly book to study faith and qi could vaguely sense it.
Before his death, the Buddha had resentment in his heart, so he easily accepted such chaos and disputes. The Buddha who was resurrected according to this atmosphere might not be what Yuancheng imagined.
This would be a Buddha of destruction with angry eyes, and even his mind might be confused.
… …
At about the same time that Zhao Changhe made his judgment, Yuan Cheng and others led the crowd to the place where the Blood God cultists were killing people.
A monk was hacked to death on the ground. Several Blood God followers were arguing with other monks around him: "Damn it, it was you monks who stabbed our brother first. A random hack was just to force him back. Even a dog could dodge that. God knows why he didn't dodge?" "Do you believe what you said, sir?"
"I, Liuzi, follow Boss Zhao. I don't have any other abilities, but I can still do it! If I killed someone, then I killed him. If it's not my fault, it's not that easy to make me admit it!"
"It was you who robbed the people at the temple fair first, and our senior brother stopped you. That's right, right?"
"Bullshit, we are eating the emperor's food, why are we robbing your mother?"
"Bandits are like combs, soldiers are like rakes, and officials are like shaving. You think you will not rob now that you are officials and soldiers, but you can only deceive your King Zhao."
"It's fine if you scold me, but you scold our Boss Zhao. How many heads do you have? Fuck you!"
The two sides quickly engaged in a fight.
"Stop!" Yuan Chengyuan Xing quickly cut into the battle and stopped both sides.
"Amitabha." Yuan Xing bowed to Liu Zi and said, "I am a friend of King Zhao. General, please give me some face and explain the matter clearly."
Liuzi said, "What is there to say? It was obviously this idiot who suddenly attacked us for no reason and insisted that we were robbing the people. Did I rob him? On the contrary, I chopped him and he died. It's none of my business."
Yuan Cheng and Yuan Xing both frowned. It was really hard to believe what they said. They both thought that Liu Zi was lying.
Liuzi also knew that no one would believe what he said, so he was angry and anxious: "Anyway, this is the fact. Let's go to Boss Zhao and talk it out!"
This was simply an attempt to gain leverage over others. Yuan Cheng looked at the dead monks from his clan and couldn't help but get angry. He chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice, "Then take them down. Let's go and have a say in front of King Zhao."
As he said this, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Liuzi's shoulder.
Almost at the same time as the two sides broke up, the Vajra Buddha's wide-open angry eyes inside the secret realm suddenly moved, as if they were alive.
The old monks around were overjoyed: "Buddha has revived..."
Before he could finish his words, King Kong glared at him angrily. The old monk choked suddenly and let out a scream. His blood vessels bulged out and his eyeballs bulged, as if he was under extremely terrifying pressure.
The other old monks were shocked: "What's going on with the Buddha?"
"Boom!" King Kong slowly stood up. He was shining with golden light, but he was ferocious and hateful. The weird atmosphere of the unity of Buddha and devil made the old monks around him dumbfounded.
"Bang!" King Kong punched the controlled old monk.
The other old monks all came to the rescue: "Wait a minute, Buddha!"
"Boom!" The peaceful ancient temple suddenly became filled with murderous intent.
Outside, Yuan Cheng had just restrained Liu Zi and the others when a monk suddenly asked in amazement, "Look, what is that?"
Everyone turned around and saw a flying horse falling from the sky and landing in the middle of the field.
The restrained Liuzi was ecstatic: "Boss Zhao's Black Horse!"
Everyone was startled. Various rumors had spread that Zhao Changhe had ridden a flying horse to the capital city to Langya. Everyone knew that Zhao Changhe had a flying horse, so how could he appear here for no apparent reason
People were filled with a sense of fear as if they were being overlooked by gods and demons. Zhao Changhe was thousands of miles away, but he could come to protect his younger brother. What a concept! He must be the real Buddha!
The sharp-eyed one had already seen a piece of paper on the horse's back. Yuan Xing stepped forward and peeled it off. There were only two sentences on it: "First, check the evil spirit in the body of the deceased. Second, none of my subordinates have learned the blood evil skill."
