179, [Another Mysterious Bead]
This old monk, who looked even more frail than an octogenarian, suddenly knelt down in front of Lu Xun. Google search reading
Lu Xun's first reaction was to be confused, especially confused!
My god!
What the hell is going on?
Lu Xun was so confused that he didn't even go to help him.
When he came to his senses, he quickly reached out to help the old monk, but at the same time he was secretly alert.
There must be something wrong with the abnormal situation!
Although the monk in front of him was indeed a demon, what was he trying to do!
After arriving at Shuiqian Temple, Lu Xun did have a good impression of this place, and felt that it was quite like a secluded place, but if there was anything unusual, he would definitely pull Lin Chan to hide behind Mao Nanbei, and then push Mao Nanbei up and let her chop the turtle.
However, this scene in front of him reminded Lu Xun of something.
He thought of his situation in Qingling City.
Qingling City is a big city built on the shell of a black tortoise, and the Demon Sect's trial site [Turtle's Longevity] is located inside the tortoise's shell.
In Qingling City, turtles are a symbol of good luck, and you can often see turtles of all sizes on the road.
Lu Xun remembers very clearly that when he entered Qingling City, the turtles on the roadside saw him and all lowered their heads and put their heads on the ground, as if they were saluting!
It's not just one or two turtles who do this, but all the turtles in the entire Qingling City will do this as soon as they see Lu Xun!
He was also very confused at the time, but he didn't understand turtle language and couldn't communicate with them, so he hasn't gotten an answer so far.
Now combined with the reaction of the old monk when he saw the scabbard...
The reason why there is such a strange phenomenon in Qingling City is probably because of the scabbard!
"Fortunately, fortunately, at first I thought I had some intriguing relationship with turtles, but it turned out that it was not my own fault." Lu Xun said in his heart.
"Master, why is this happening?" Lu Xun asked.
Kneeling down without saying a word, how difficult it is!
The old monk was helped up by Lu Xun, still with a respectful look on his face, and said: "I am afraid that you are scared, because your scabbard is a sacred object."
"Sacred object?" Lu Xun glanced at the scabbard.
This scabbard was made by Gui Bo, which Gui Bo told him himself.
Combined with some similarities in behavior between Gui Bo and these demon monks...
I think even if Gui Bo is not a tortoise spirit, he has something to do with them.
The former is more likely!
"Yes, this is made of the tortoise shell, and it is made from the hardest part of the tortoise shell, so it is naturally considered a sacred object of our clan." The old monk explained.
Lu Xun nodded after hearing this, and he understood it.
"So that's it." He said in his heart.
Qingling City belongs to the sphere of influence of the Demon Sect, and this city is built on the tortoise shell of the black tortoise. I think the black tortoise has some relationship with the Demon Sect.
I just don’t know whether Gui Bo got the essence of the black tortoise shell and then refined the scabbard, or... he has a close relationship with the black tortoise itself!
I heard that after the tortoises transform, the tortoise shell becomes an external thing.
Therefore, this guess is not impossible!
"Since the scabbard is the sacred object of your clan, it shouldn’t be a big deal if the sacred object wants to eat something in your temple?" Lu Xun said in his heart.
Lu Xun looked at the old monk, thought for a moment, and then directly explained his purpose.
The black rope on the scabbard danced up and down, as if it was also following to make its attitude and position clear, adding persuasiveness and credibility to Lu Xun’s words.
The old monk looked at Lu Xun and the others, then at the scabbard, and smiled like a chrysanthemum on his face, and asked: "What does the holy object want in my temple?"
Lu Xun was actually quite curious, what did the scabbard want to eat?
The black rope floated up, and then pointed to the palm of the stone Buddha.
In the palm of the stone Buddha, there was a flower carved from stone, and in the center of the flower, there was a stone bead.
It looked ordinary.
I don't know what it is.
"Since the holy object wants it, then take it." The old monk smiled, surprisingly straightforward.
This surprised Lu Xun a little, after all, he was just a stranger.
And according to the normal routine, shouldn't he immediately grab the holy object of the clan when he saw it?
Why did he really offer it here?
Isn't it a bit too hasty...
Could it be that the monks in this small broken temple really have a heart that is detached from the world?
Just as Lu Xun was about to say a few polite words, the scabbard flew out of his hand.
It flew to the stone Buddha and pried the stone bead out with its bottom.
Then it reached up with its hole, and the stone bead fell steadily into the scabbard.
It also made a "pop" sound.
Its black rope waved in the air for a few times, and it seemed very satisfied.
After doing all this, it slowly floated back to Lu Xun's hand.
"Ahem, I'm sorry to make you laugh." Lu Xun put his hands together and saluted.
"It's okay, it's okay. I didn't expect that I would have the chance to see the holy object in this life." He waved his hand slowly.
From beginning to end, he didn't even say much about what the stone bead was.
Of course, it is also possible that he himself didn't know...
But it must be a precious thing, otherwise the scabbard wouldn't be so eager, and it should be an item related to turtles.
After doing all this, Lu Xun took Mao Nanbei and Lin Chan to burn incense in the temple.
He had a very good impression of this Shuiqian Temple, and thought that if there was another chance in the future, he would come here again to see it and burn incense again.
Before leaving, the old monk did not even make any attempt to keep him, as if it was really as he said, seeing the holy object once in this life, he felt satisfied.
It may also be that the old monk really has a profound Buddhist Dharma and has fewer desires.
Lu Xun and others sat back on the paper crane, and the paper crane flew high into the sky.
Not long after it went up to the sky, the black rope on the scabbard gently patted the back of Lu Xun's hand, and then pointed to the Shuiqian Temple below.
"What's wrong?" Lu Xun stopped moving forward and controlled the paper crane to float in the air.
Soon, he heard another "pop" sound.
A bead flew out of the scabbard and floated at the entrance of the cave.
It is no longer a stone bead, but a green body with green airflow around it!
Perhaps this is its true appearance!
Lu Xun tried to check its basic information, but all he got were question marks.
Under the guidance of the scabbard, some of these green airflows were injected into the clouds, and some of them drifted down with the wind.
The clouds turned into rain clouds at this moment, and it began to drizzle.
The flowers, plants and trees nourished by the raindrops all showed vigorous vitality.
In just a few breaths, the mountain flowers bloomed and the grass was green.
Even the dead trees in the temple sprouted new buds!
It was really magical!
And the green airflows that blew into the temple with the wind first blew towards the four little monks, and then split into four strands and injected into their bodies.
The four little monks were confused and didn't notice anything.
And more green airflows rushed to the old monk standing in front of the door and injected into the body of the dying old monk.
His complexion had visibly improved. Although he had not regained his youth, he was indeed less tired.
The old monk stood in front of the door, raised his head and smiled.
He put his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name:
——"Amitabha."
