Chapter 17 The Pagoda
Back then in Menggui Village, I witnessed "Big Brother" creating many terrifying illusions. Lu Chengshan and others tried desperately to attack in vain. So I knew that it was useless to attack now, and I had to wait calmly. When all the monster's illusions were gone,
If you can't influence me, you will definitely show up.
All kinds of terrifying sounds penetrated directly into my mind, and countless shadows rushed towards us from all directions. We were like a lonely boat in the angry sea. I could still stay awake and calm, but others began to lose control. Amy suddenly pulled me back.
I shouted for help, and Yu Chengshuguai ran out with a smile. Liu Ping suddenly pulled out a dagger and stabbed Gao Feng. Fortunately, Gao Feng was conscious and avoided the dagger. He grabbed his wrist and shouted angrily: "What are you doing?"
Gao Feng had a murderous look on his face, and his spirit was unknowingly affected.
I hurriedly formed the Fudo Ming King Seal, recited a few spells quickly, and shouted: "Lin!" This is the first word of the nine-character mantra, which can make people strengthen their will and not be deceived by external evils. Everyone woke up immediately when they heard it.
come over.
"The Xuanzong of Heaven and Earth, the fundamental root of Wanqi, has cultivated for hundreds of millions of kalpas, and proved my supernatural powers. Within and outside the three realms, Tao is the only one..." Lu Qingwen began to recite the Golden Light Divine Mantra. This mantra is a very powerful mantra in Taoism. Its original intention is to be like an immortal.
It also activates the inner alchemy light soul to protect the body, which can expel demonic obstacles, protect the body and ward off evil spirits, and many other wonderful effects.
Gao Feng also started to recite a mantra, the mantra for purifying the world and the earth. Regardless of whether it was the right medicine or not, reciting it would have some effect and make his teammates sober up a little.
I started to get a little anxious. I was afraid that we would be unable to hold on until the evil thing showed up. Should we try the lightning control technique? Maybe we can scare the evil thing away...
Suddenly, a cold and dark breath broke through the protective shields of Xiaoxue and Xinyu, and came towards me alone. I hurriedly used my strength to resist, and then the relic hanging on my chest suddenly became brighter, exuding a
The soft white light, with its warm and peaceful aura, coupled with the resistance of my aura, prevented the dark aura from intruding into my body. It only stayed for less than two seconds before retreating.
What invaded the shield was just a kind of consciousness or breath, which was invisible and intangible, so no one else could sense it. But the relics on my chest were getting brighter and brighter, and the warm and holy breath was getting stronger and stronger, and the scope of influence was
Even beyond the protective shield formed by Xiaoxue and Xinyu, everyone felt this and looked at me in surprise again.
This relic was given to me by Compass and was left behind by Master Zeshan after his cremation. It has inspired energy to protect me before, but it has never shined as brightly and had such a huge impact like today.
I heard some kind of vague and majestic Sanskrit sound, like a group of monks chanting sutras. The various noises that penetrated my mind became weaker, and even the darkness that filled the sky and the earth seemed to have weakened a little.
"Is there a monk reciting sutras?" Lu Qingwen asked in surprise. She had already finished reciting the incantation.
"I heard it too." Yun Feiyang said.
Xiaoxue then exclaimed: "Sir, look at that pagoda!"
The pagoda is less than ten meters away from us, but it has long been invisible due to the haze and darkness, but now it can be seen again. It does not emit light itself, but the nearby haze and darkness have been dispersed a lot, so it feels brighter
, and the faint sound of chanting seemed to come from the pagoda.
Is this... is a certain Buddha appearing? Lu Qingwen, Gao Feng and I looked at each other in confusion. Master Diao knelt down and kowtowed first, then Yu Chengshu, Amy, Yun Feiyang, and Liu Ping all knelt down and kowtowed to the pagoda one after another. Except for Master Diao
, the others are probably not Buddhist believers, and may still be atheists, but in this situation, they can only express their fear and gratitude by kneeling down and kowtow.
Countless shadows changed their targets and rushed toward the pagoda, like tens of thousands of soldiers charging towards us. They were several times stronger than when they attacked us just now. However, as soon as the haze and shadows approached the pagoda, they dispersed and disappeared, making it impossible to get close to it.
There is no radiant Buddha appearing, nor is the Buddha's light shining from the sky. There is only the vague sound of Sanskrit singing, like the chanting of thousands of years of eminent monks remaining in the ruins of the ruins, and now it is radiating out in strands.
But it possesses incredible power, and no matter how the haze and shadows impact, they cannot get close.
I don’t know whether it was the mysterious power emanating from the pagoda that inspired the relics on my body, or the relics on my body touched the mysterious power of the pagoda. The relics kept shining brightly. Xiaoxue closed the aura shield,
We also put away the sweet words. The energy of the relics alone is enough to protect us.
We all involuntarily moved closer to the pagoda. We felt that our eyes were brightening and our mood was comfortable, as if we had found an island that could stay in the angry sea. We were surprised and happy, and watched nervously for about five minutes.
To the left and right, the shadows began to dissipate, the haze began to recede, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye. The sky was clear and the new moon hung high.
When the haze receded, Xiaoxue and I followed it with our spiritual consciousness until Xiaoxue could no longer sense it more than ten miles away and could not find its origin. Xiaoxue and I were shocked that the evil thing actually came from very far away.
Where the haze is controlled, how powerful is the power required to affect it so far? If it is close, can we still stop it?
After the haze receded, the pagoda was still a big mound, no different from before, and my relics no longer glowed. My teammates didn't know it was the relics, and thought I had used some magic, so they worshiped me even more.
Amy said excitedly: "Captain, are you the legendary god?"
"Ha, if I were a god, I wouldn't have scared you half to death. I would have driven away the demons and ghosts long ago. This pagoda is very supernatural."
Yun Feiyang shook his head repeatedly: "Seeing is believing, there are indeed many incredible things in this world!"
Yu Chengshu said: "Yes, it's so magical and incredible! In fact, I believe in mysterious power, but I have never encountered it personally, so I always don't believe it."
Lu Qingwen and Gao Feng both looked a little disappointed. At the critical moment, the Taoist gods did not come out to save them. Instead, the ruins of Buddhism appeared, which made them a little embarrassed and lost.
I ignored their sighs and comments, and wondered why the evil thing came to disturb us. Could it be that it knew that we had bad intentions towards it, so it gave us a scare first? Why did it hide in the distance and refused to show up? If
It really wants to harm us and come directly to deal with us with more powerful force. Even if the pagoda appears, it won't be able to save us.
If we continue to move forward, there will be no pagoda. What if that evil thing comes to attack us again? Moreover, we may be attacked by the Japanese at any time, and there are many dangers. It can be said that we have a narrow escape from death. It is not suitable to lead others forward. But I can't help it.
I take them with me because I need their professional knowledge and abilities. If Amy is not here and the instrument breaks down, I may not be able to receive Lin Mei’s emergency call and cannot find the coordinates where I should go...
I don't have time to go back and start over again. I can't let Lin Mei encounter possible danger, but I can't let others accompany me to die. This is a difficult choice!
My heart was very heavy. I hesitated for a while and said to everyone: "Everyone, if you continue to move forward, I cannot guarantee your safety. I hope everyone can go back."
Lu Qingwen immediately asked: "What about you?"
I said solemnly: "I have no other choice. I must move on, and you have a choice. There is no need to take risks. Whether you come here voluntarily or your superiors arrange for you to come here, you have completed your mission by getting here."
Now I’m letting you go back.”
Amy immediately said: "My mission is to follow you to find the missing person. I will not go back unless you turn back."
Yun Feiyang said: "Yes, when we set out, we all received instructions from our superiors. We must always follow you and obey your arrangements. Before, I saw that you were very young and a little distrustful, but now I absolutely believe in you. No matter how dangerous it is, I
Everyone will go with you."
Lu Qingwen rushed to say: "We are not doing things for you, but doing our own things, so no matter how dangerous and difficult it is, we cannot retreat. You are the captain, not a bodyguard, and our safety cannot solely depend on you."
, as long as you unite us and make the right decision when needed, you will have fulfilled your responsibility as captain, and there is no need to shoulder everything on you."
"Yes, yes!" Everyone agreed, but many of them had some hesitation in their tone.
I was quite touched. Lu Qingwen was obviously helping me, but what she said was reasonable and well-intentioned. I glanced at everyone: "Having said that, it is really dangerous to continue moving forward. Life is at stake. It is not a child's play.
I hope everyone will consider it carefully."
Everyone was silent. After a while, Master Diao said, "I want to go back. As long as you give me some water and food, I can walk back by myself."
Lu Qingwen and Amy immediately showed disdain, but they didn't say coward directly. I smiled: "Okay, is there anyone else willing to go back? I really hope that everyone will not take risks with me, you only live once!"
Lu Qingwen and Amy are very determined to follow me. Gao Feng and Liu Ping only follow Lu Qingwen's lead - they will continue to move forward even without Lu Qingwen. They are not ordinary people and must obey Lu Chengshan's arrangements. Although Yun Feiyang and Yu Chengshu have some
I hesitated, but in the end I didn’t go back. They are somewhat famous people.
, and after escaping halfway back, they were too embarrassed to see anyone. And as experts in archeology and geology, they are usually prone to encounter dangers and have a stronger spirit of adventure and dedication than ordinary people. This time we are very likely to discover new ruins.
, that would be a great honor and achievement, and they would not let go of this opportunity.
"We must not let the Japanese steal cultural relics!" Yu Chengshu said.
I asked Liu Ping to give Mr. Diao enough water and food. Then I took out four pieces of silver talisman paper and cinnabar with jade powder. I tried my best to draw four peace talismans and gave them to Yun Feiyang and Yu Chengshu.
Amy and Liu Ping.
Although it is just a common peace talisman, I painted it with all my strength, using precious special talisman paper and cinnabar, and the effect is still very strong. It is like a home-cooked dish, prepared by a famous chef, and used
It is a precious material, and it may be more amazing than famous dishes and famous soups. I dare not say that this talisman can protect against all evils, but at least ordinary ghosts and evil spirits cannot harm it. It can also enhance luck, seek good luck and avoid evil.
Lu Chengshan only gave me a total of five silver talisman papers, and now there is only one left, but I think it is worth it. They risked their lives to follow me, how could I be reluctant to part with a few talisman papers? To put it another way,
Chapter completed!
