Chapter 455 Tianfo Temple
Chapter 455 Tianfo Temple
The five fingers are like hooks, and the force follows the heart.
The old monk with a gloomy face shouted angrily:
"My Buddha is compassionate!!"
With his hands clasped together, golden light suddenly rose higher, and the image of Buddha appeared behind him.
But before he could do anything, he was twisted by a huge suction force, and the Dharma image could not even last a moment before it shattered.
"what?"
The old monk was horrified, and then he felt an irresistible force entangled in him, and he involuntarily ran towards Chu Qing's palm.
Chu Qing grabbed the bald head.
He pressed the ground casually, and there was a plop sound. The old monk knelt in front of Chu Qing.
He still didn't give up, and he used his internal energy to surge and try to stand up.
But under Chu Qing's five fingers, even a dragon would have to coil up obediently today, let alone a mere old monk?
Seeing that Wuwang was in trouble, the old monk didn't think twice and muttered something... But as soon as he opened his mouth, a huge force ran through his meridians.
This force was like the cold ice from the Netherworld, freezing the meridians wherever it passed.
He didn't even have the strength to resist.
The old monk was horrified:
"You...you destroyed my martial arts!?"
Chu Qing nodded:
"It's useless, so what?"
"You...I will fight you!"
He reached out to grab Chu Qing's wrist, but just as he touched it, he was shaken away by the true energy.
All ten of his fingers were broken and he screamed in pain.
Chu Qing looked down at his eyes:
"lead the way."
The old monk's eyes were confused for a moment, and then he nodded:
"Yes……"
Chu Qing let go of his hand, and the old monk stood up and led Chu Qing and others to a place.
Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou followed him quietly.
The rest of the people looked at each other and hurried to follow.
Along the way, we saw the bodies of people who had just died from Chu Qing's move. Some were broken into pieces, and some were incomplete. It was just a matter of a moment's thought that caused such consequences.
Really scary.
Meng Hui finally understood why he could become the leader of the martial arts world.
With such means, if he doesn’t become the leader, who dares to be the leader?
Soon, everyone stopped in front of a mountain wall.
But he did not touch the mountain wall, but reached out and knocked the ground.
After a while, the seemingly normal ground suddenly cracked open, and a monk walked out from it, saying:
"Amita..."
Before he could utter the word "Buddha", he saw an uninvited guest.
His eyes widened immediately:
"you……"
Chu Qing didn't say much, he raised his hand and pressed it directly between his chest and abdomen.
The monk groaned, his body was beaten like a shrimp, and he fell back into the corridor, his head tilted and he died on the spot.
The old monk had an indifferent look on his face, and didn't even give a single glance to the death of his fellow disciple.
He just walked down the stairs, saying:
“The corridor is full of traps.
"The secret writing on the wall, remember not to read it."
So everyone followed him and went down the corridor.
But they couldn't help but feel a little curious about the things on the wall... Fortunately, it wasn't their first day in the world, especially in a place like Tianfo Temple, where many dangers occurred silently.
If you are not careful, you may get into trouble.
Therefore, even the most curious and playful shepherd boy resisted the urge to look at the wall.
But the corridor is narrow and cramped, and it is difficult to avoid it even if you don't want to look.
If you catch a glimpse of it from time to time, you will feel that there seem to be whirlpools on the surrounding walls, pulling your spirit towards the walls.
Fortunately, this glimpse was not serious. After a slight struggle, he returned to normal.
Chu Qing was not bothered by this. He looked at the so-called secret text on the wall and couldn't help but frowning.
The text on it is extremely abstract, a bit like tadpole script...but he himself doesn't know much about tadpole script, so naturally it is difficult for him to tell the difference between the two.
But these words will cause people to have vague hallucinations.
He asked the old monk:
"Where did this secret text come from?"
The old monk knew everything and answered in a somewhat dull tone:
"The secret text was given by the Buddha. It is said that this text was obtained by a great man from the Weeping Divine Iron in the past."
"Crying God Iron?"
Chu Qing was somewhat dazed.
The few people who had just experienced the changes in Wanbao Tower looked at each other in bewilderment.
Liu Qianguan, the head of the Third Court of Wenxin Pavilion, used the fragments of the Weeping God Iron to set up the [Weeping Soul and Chaos God Formation], which was truly impressive.
Unexpectedly, on the wall of the corridor inside the Tianfo Temple, there were secret texts obtained from the Weeping God Iron.
The Weeping God Iron itself can shake people's minds, so it is not surprising that the words in this corridor have such an effect.
Meng Hui was a little surprised:
“The Weeping God Iron, could it be the Nine Treasures of Heaven and Earth?
“This thing has been born?”
"More than born."
The shepherd boy glanced at Chu Qing's back:
“And it’s been destroyed.”
"Actually...it wasn't destroyed."
Chu Qing rubbed his nose and casually recounted the general story of Wanbao Tower, which made the shepherd boy marvel at what he heard.
"So that's how it is. Even if a weapon made of Weeping God Iron is broken, it is not considered destroyed. I really didn't know this. Maybe even my master doesn't know this."
The shepherd boy curled his lips:
"But the people at Wanbaolou are still amazing. They even know about this kind of thing."
Wu Qianhuan asked:
"We've all heard the sound of the Weeping God Iron. It's a confusing, indescribable mess. Can anyone really make words out of it?"
The old monk answered while diligently deciphering the mechanism in the corridor:
“It’s not just words… It is said that the Nine Treasures of Heaven and Earth are rare treasures that have existed since the beginning of the world. The sounds coming from these objects have been studied by many predecessors.
“Some of them have learned martial arts from it, which can confuse people’s minds and confuse their hearts.
“That’s why there are such methods in the martial arts world.
"Evil people use tricks to confuse people, but I, the Buddha, use these tricks to save people."
"… He really knows how to flatter himself."
Wang Chunhua rolled his eyes at the boss:
"A bunch of evil monks who don't even have the slightest self-awareness."
The old monk just swallowed the spit and didn't take it to heart at all.
As the corridor went forward, Chu Qing gradually discovered something strange.
This corridor is not a straight line. There are ups and downs in it, and sometimes there is a protrusion.
In some more complex environments, there are almost always deadly traps.
Fortunately, the old monk was very familiar with this road, so he barely wasted any time on the journey. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and it seemed that he had reached the end of the corridor.
There was fire on both sides because there were two braziers placed on the left and right.
There was a bottomless abyss beneath their feet, the depth of which was difficult to measure. The path in between was very narrow, barely allowing three people to pass side by side.
But the road is very long, winding forward and finally leading to a towering and huge temple.
Chu Qing guessed that the temple was underground, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
The entire temple is built on a huge platform, and underneath the platform there is an abyss so deep that no one knows how deep it is.
The paths leading to the temple are all narrow like the one Chu Qing and the others are on now, and one might fall down if one is not careful.
The shepherd boy lay on the side and looked down, gasping for air:
"If this falls, I'm afraid there won't be even a scrap left."
"How deep is this?"
Meng Hui and Wan Chunhua were also amazed, especially Wan Chunhua. He didn't dare to come to the edge, and retreated with his neck shrunk. Finally, he retreated to the corridor behind the two braziers and said to Chu Qing:
"Sir...how about you guys go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
Chu Qing looked back at him and was stunned to see his pale face:
"Afraid of heights?"
"what?"
Wan Chunhua was at a loss:
"What do you mean?"
"It means you are afraid of heights."
Chu Qing smiled and said:
"Then aren't you afraid when you perform Qinggong on weekdays?"
“…When I perform Qinggong, I can move as tall or short as I want, and everything is under my control.
"But...but now, just looking down, I feel cramps in my calves, as if there are invisible hands grabbing my ankles and pulling me down."
Wan Chunhua trembled as he spoke.
The shepherd boy was also stunned when he heard this, and said with gritted teeth:
"Don't say that. I didn't think it was scary at first, but after hearing you describe it like that, I find it scary."
"It is surprising that Tianfo Temple would be built in such a place..."
Meng Hui looked at the Tianfo Temple in front of him and felt deeply moved.
After much careful selection, the site chosen by Xuhuai Sect was nothing more than an ordinary hilltop.
Such a place can be found in Tianfo Temple. He wanted to describe how amazing it was, but he couldn't find the right words for a moment.
Then he heard Chu Qing say:
"It's really stupid... If I hadn't come here today mainly to find something, this Tianfo Temple would be destroyed in a snap of a finger."
Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou nodded repeatedly, and even the shepherd boy nodded and said:
"That's right, it's really weird. The Buddha King is not an idiot, why would he build his home in such a place?
“If a master comes and breaks the foundation of Tianfo Temple with one palm, the entire Tianfo Temple will fall into an abyss.”
"……interrupt?"
Meng Hui felt that this girl was dreaming.
Tianfo Temple is not small, with numerous buildings occupying a huge area. How can such a large platform be interrupted so easily?
"Yes."
The shepherd boy said:
"My father can easily destroy this Tianfo Temple with just one palm."
Wu Qianhuan looked at Chu Qing:
"You can do that, too?"
Chu Qing nodded:
"Indeed."
The corner of Meng Hui's mouth twitched. The shepherd boy's father was Emperor Xuan Shang Qiuyu, and Chu Qing was the leader of the Beiling martial arts world.
People like them, if they want to destroy Tianfo Temple, they probably have at least a hundred ways to do it.
Throwing Tianfo Temple into the abyss is just one of the options.
At this moment, Chu Qing suddenly took out a fire starter from his arms and handed it to the old monk.
The old monk took it with a dull look on his face.
Then Chu Qing said:
"Give yourself a point."
After these words were spoken, everyone present looked towards the old monk.
Without saying a word, the old monk blew up the fire stick and lit the sleeves of his wide robe.
But within a moment, the clothes were burning.
Immediately afterwards, the aroma of barbecue emanated from the skin and meat.
Chu Qing then said to the old monk:
"Jump down."
The old monk turned around and jumped without any hesitation.
Meng Hui subconsciously cried out "Ah!", and only slapped his thigh when the old monk disappeared into the endless abyss with billowing flames:
"Brother, what are you doing?
"You have already captured him, and his martial arts skills have been destroyed. His life and death are all in your hands. Why do you have to kill him like this?"
Chu Qing glanced at Meng Hui and said with a smile:
"Senior Brother Meng is a chivalrous man."
Meng Hui sighed:
"After all, we are born as human beings, and it is natural for us to fight for our lives.
"But why commit murder now?
“You can’t take anything with you…only your karma will haunt you. There is some truth to this.”
Chu Qing nodded:
“Then maybe I should quit the world and live in seclusion in the mountains.
"The martial world is filled with blood and gore. If you want to avoid being tainted by karma, why do you need to travel the martial world?
"Brother is a chivalrous man who cannot bear to see others die, but I don't know how long it would take for him to wake up if I were not here today.
"Or do you have to wait until you have completed your merits and are sent to the Tianfo Temple, where you will be skinned and dismembered before you can discover that they are just a group of beasts in human skin?"
"Here……"
Meng Hui didn't know how to refute for a moment, so he could only stick to his own opinion:
"Junior brother, although what you said makes sense, you can't kill people indiscriminately like this."
"Indiscriminate killing... the last two words have to include innocent?"
Chu Qing smiled and said:
"All you saw was me letting him jump.
“But I didn’t expect that he would rather die than let us die together.
"The one last night and this one now are the same.
"Brother, I also advise you... don't be too naive.
"Killing innocent people indiscriminately is a crime that cannot be arbitrarily charged to anyone.
"When eradicating evil, you must never fulfill your own righteousness and cause innocent people to be hurt by your righteousness."
When he said this, his ears twitched and he sighed softly:
"After talking for so long, we finally reached the bottom... There should be water flowing below, but it's too high. If we really fall down, it will be the same as hitting a rock.
"Okay, enough small talk, it's time for us to go to Tianfo Temple."
Having said this, he rolled up his sleeves and a gust of wind suddenly swept through his body. In a blink of an eye, several people around him, including Wan Chunhua who was hiding in the corridor and dared not come out, were all enveloped by the wind.
The next moment, everyone rose into the air and flew directly towards Tianfo Temple.
Wu Qianhuan and Wenrou were already accustomed to this. Wan Chunhua was so frightened that he closed his eyes and made strange noises, obviously he was very scared.
Meng Hui was still immersed in his communication with Chu Qing and for a moment he didn't pay attention to his surroundings.
The shepherd boy clapped his hands and looked very happy.
Just as the group was about to break into the Tianfo Temple, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, feather arrows flew towards Chu Qing like tidal waves.
The shepherd boy cried out in surprise, and saw a golden light appearing around them again. After the incoming arrows touched the golden light, they flew back the way they came.
However, Chu Qing’s speed was not slower than the arrow. The next moment, the group of people shrouded in golden light crashed onto the steps in front of the gate of Tianfo Temple.
