Chapter 389 The same person?
After the Legal Monk left, only Bai Xiao and Mu Tianchen were left on Jingyu Mountain.
There is a roar of moon hanging in the sky. Although it is midsummer, the temperature is a little cool from the afternoon. At this time, a breeze hits, and only the rustling of leaves around you and the sound of insects is heard.
After a few seconds of silence, Mu Tianchen glanced at Bai Xiao, who was frowning and was thinking about something, and said softly: "Let's go down too."
"Yes." Bai Xiao came back to his senses from the shock that the Fading monk left, looked at Mu Tianchen, nodded gently, and went down the mountain with Mu Tianchen.
On the way, Bai Xiao asked, "Tianchen, who is this legal monk? Do you have any relevant information about him?"
After saying that, he waited for Mu Tianchen's response and intuition told her that the weird monk should have a great background, and Mu Tianchen knew more or less.
“There is a little, but not a lot.”
Mu Tianchen walked leisurely on the green path. He was not surprised when he heard Bai Xiao’s question. He knew that Bai Xiao would definitely ask him this question, so he no longer kept it.
He put his pocket in one hand and casually broke off a piece of thin branches extending from the roadside with the other hand, and smiled and said, "This legal monk is also an old senior in the Imperial Spirit Realm. According to legend, he was a guest abbot of Guangfa Temple in the western suburbs of the capital in his early years and had a very strong position in the hollow gate."
"By the way, do you know Guangfa Temple?" Mu Tianchen turned around and asked.
"Of course I know this." Bai Xiao was stunned at first, then rolled his eyes.
Guangfa Temple is the number one Zen temple in the capital. She has no possibility of not knowing it just because of this title.
According to legend, this Guangfa Temple has a history of more than 1,500 years. It was first built during the Southern and Northern Dynasties and is considered to be an early temple in China. When the Kongmen was prosperous, it was built by a monk named Guangfa. At first, it was not called Guangfa Temple, but because it was adjacent to Danxi, it was called Danxi Zen Temple. Later, dynasties changed and wars continued. Danxi Zen Temple was baptized several times and major reconstructions and repairs were carried out, but the incense was never interrupted.
The last reconstruction was more than 70 years ago, and the name was changed from Danxi Zen Temple to Guangfa Temple.
Because of its long history, there are dozens of ancient trees in the temple that have been around for thousands of years alone, so people call it "the three major religious and historical museums in the capital" together with the Confucian Temple and the City God of the Capital.
Of course, unlike the modern and commercial temples, Guangfa Temple is located in the deep mountains and is far away from the worldly world. The scale of the temple itself is not large, and it is only a few main halls, various wing rooms and a relics tower behind it.
But as the saying goes, the mountain is not high, and it is famous if there is an immortal. Although Guangfa Temple is not big, the temple has lush ancient trees and quiet environment. In addition, there is a certain sense of the universe in the sleeves. It is always very popular on weekdays.
As a native of the capital, Bai Xiao naturally knew something about it. When she was young, her grandfather took her over to play. There was an old monk with a white beard inside. It is said that he had a very senior level. He showed her the photos at that time, saying that she had a bright future in the future.
Thinking about it afterwards, Bai Xiao felt that he should have been fooled at that time.
Maybe it was because I gave too much money to incense, so I just picked up good things to tell her.
"…The Fading monk has also been the guest abbot of Guangfa Temple?"
This was quite unexpected to Bai Xiao. Under the dim light, his bright eyes flashed with strange colors.
Mu Tianchen nodded: "Yes, the Fading monk was invited to open an altar in Guangfa Temple and said scriptures. It seems that he is very popular among the disciples of the Holy Sect. There are many listeners. However, in the past decade, the Fading monk seems to fade out of people's horizons, and there is little news of his activities."
"Wait, in the last ten years?"
Bai Xiao stopped and looked at Mu Tianchen next to him incredibly.
He said in surprise: "In other words, this legal monk was so popular more than ten years ago, but has disappeared in the past decade?"
Mu Tianchen nodded: "It's true."
Bai Xiao looked like he was a ghost, her beautiful eyes couldn't help but squint, and her smooth and delicate forehead also frowned slightly.
This legal monk was obviously in his early forties, but from Mu Tianchen, he learned that more than ten years ago was his highlight. At that time, he was preaching at the cathedral and had a certain "industry status". But at that time, he was not in his twenties, and he became the guest abbot of Guangfa Temple at a young age, right?
You should know that Guangfa Temple is a famous temple in the capital. It is a temple abbot. Even if it is a guest official, he cannot be held without sufficient internal reputation.
In other words, the age of this legal monk has become a mystery.
Bai Xiao didn't think he was as young as he looked.
"That legal monk is Gui Geng this year?"
Mu Tianchen frowned and said, "I don't know this, but it is said that when he opened an altar in Guangfa Temple, he should have been in his forties, and now... he is at least in his sixties."
"But it's not clear, because there were rumors that he was over 60 years old... but it didn't match his appearance, so everyone just thought it was an interesting conversation."
Mu Tianchen really didn't know the age of the legal monk. When he was the most famous, he was more than 20 years ago, his Buddha's hands turned and turned, and when his reputation became famous, even the Yuling Administration was polite to him. Even the Beichen Palace where Mu Tianchen was located could not completely ignore his existence. He was the most famous person in the Void Sect.
Of course, the opening of the altar more than ten years ago also became the ultimate sound of a legal monk. After that, the news about him in the Spirit Realm disappeared. There has been no news for more than ten years, and some people even speculated whether he had passed away.
After all, it is speculated that he is actually in his eighties.
"Tortoise..." After hearing Mu Tianchen's words, Bai Xiao couldn't help but stutter. In this way, this legal monk is really a monster.
Although the level of power in the spiritual world does affect life span, the example of eternal youth like him still shocks people.
Judging from the contact just now, although this legal monk is in his forties, he lives more like a young man, unruly, unrestrained, and mentally young. Now someone tells Bai Xiao that he can live fifty years, and Bai Xiao thinks it is possible.
After a while of silence, the two walked side by side on the bluestone slab.
Suddenly, Bai Xiao looked at Mu Tianchen and said, "I suddenly thought of a message about the tomb of the Emperor and the Baxia Pack Monument on Jingyu Mountain."
"What information?" Mu Tianchen asked in surprise.
"You should remember, I told you before that the two people who set up the tomb of the Emperor and the tomb of the Gods were actually two people, and the one who set up the stone tablet was actually one monk!"
"That's right, you did say this." Mu Tianchen nodded.
The establishment of the Baxia Tuo Monument and the Emperor’s Tomb were actually decades apart. The reason why the Baxia Tuo Monument was later set up was actually to suppress the Northern Yin Emperor’s Tomb opened by its predecessors!
According to the brief records in the local "County Chronicles" cultural and educational chapter, the reason why the emperor's tomb appeared was that more than two hundred years ago, travelers and nearby villagers often fell into the water and died in vain when passing by a lake. Therefore, rumors about water ghosts were rampant, attracting the attention of the local government. Later, the government invited a master to do a method to save the deceased. Later, under the master's abbot, a temple was built on the original site, and then a private school was set up to suppress the yang energy of a boy. Sure enough, the incident of falling into the water and dying in vain did not happen again...
This is the general record, but after Bai Xiao received specific information from Wang Shen to share with him, Mu Tianchen realized that the actual situation was not as recorded in the "County Chronicles".
In fact, the "master" who was invited by the government for the first time to save the deceased was not a good person at all, but a "fake heavenly master" with ulterior motives. He took advantage of the opportunity to save the dead souls and suppress the water ghosts, and he was explicitly to drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters, but secretly set up the tomb of the emperor here and quietly cultivated the Soul Locking Beads.
Until decades later, there were groups of rats near Jingyu Mountain, which had become a charity village. Whenever the corpse was sent to the charity village, it would be gnawed beyond recognition the next day. Even if the coffin was closed or even heavy objects were pressed, the corpses inside would always be gnawed to pieces after a night. Out of concerns, the local government was worried that the person who died in vain was too jealous, so he invited another master to investigate.
This time the master was a monk. After coming to the charity village, the monk's expression suddenly became solemn. Later, with the help of the yamen runners, he dug three feet into the ground and found a long corridor, which only then could he see through the conspiracy of the previous "fake heavenly master".
However, at that time, the tomb of the Emperor had already formed a climate, and the monk knew that he could not completely destroy the tomb, so he arranged a ban outside the tomb of the Emperor, locking the tomb of the Emperor for about 170 years in one fell swoop, which directly led to the false Heavenly Master's conspiracy to go bankrupt and sealing it in the tomb.
"You said at that time that the monk was the one who set up the throne and the stele of the throne?" Mu Tianchen reacted and grasped the key point.
"Yes, but do you know the monk's name?" Bai Xiao asked.
Mu Tianchen shook his head. At that time, Bai Xiao only told him that he was a monk, but he did not mention the magic number.
Suddenly, he was stunned and his face changed: "You don't want to say that the monk's Dharma name is also called statutory?"
Bai Xiao nodded with a strange expression: "The monk's Dharma name that enfeoffed the tomb of the Emperor is indeed called the statutory. As for whether it is the statutory we just saw, or it happens to be the same, I don't know."
Mu Tianchen took a breath.
Thinking of the legal monk suddenly appeared at Binhe University of Technology and skillfully took out a bead from the stone tablet, he said with a complicated expression: "To be honest, I think the possibility of being the same person cannot be completely ruled out."
When Bai Xiao heard this, he frowned and turned his head and asked in surprise: "Can a person really live that long?"
The monk who banned the tomb of Emperor Tianzi in Beiyin was a figure more than 170 years ago. Including his early practice, wouldn’t it mean that this person lived at least 200 years?
Although there are many people in this world who have lived past 100 years, the legendary Peng Zu even lived in more than 800 years, the legend is a legend after all. The longest person with reliable evidence in reality only lived for 131 years.
If it was really the same person, this legal monk would be too evil.
Or is it that the realm of the spirit controler has reached a certain level, and can really break through the limitations of nature and stay young forever?
"It should be possible."
Mu Tianchen was not sure, after all, this kind of thing did not happen to him, and he was not sure. Although there were indeed many old monsters in Beichen Palace, many of them were monsters themselves, and their age was not reference.
There are people, but it is hard to ask the age of those elders for no reason.
"It's true?"
In the dark night, Bai Xiao's eyes lit up and his motivation for cultivation became more powerful.
But thinking about it, the spirit controler absorbs the spiritual energy between heaven and earth when practicing. Just like the cultivators in the novel, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it to prolong life to a certain extent.
