Chapter 131: The Lost Realm of the Holy Land


Dongshan Ancient Temple is the most famous temple in Fengguo, it is rumored that the Empress of Heaven sensed the call of heaven's will here, unveiled the uprising, chased the world, and finally sat on the country.With the changes of the times, the status of Dongshan Ancient Temple is far less than the original, the most desirable sacred place of the people of Fengguo is the sacred pagoda where the national teachers of the past dynasties lived, but the ancient temple still has an extraordinary attraction for some people.In the first two generations of the presiding abbot ordered the closure of the temple, after the retreat, the mystery of the ancient temple attracted the attention of pilgrims from all walks of life, and every designated opening time, there were countless pilgrims who came to offer incense.After all, the tower is difficult to enter, not that the emperor does not want to get close to half a step, every time the national teacher prays for blessings, people can only watch from afar below, it is not as close as the ancient temple.Therefore, after the Dongshan Ancient Temple withdrew from the emperor's vision, it became a big Buddhist temple in the hearts of the people, and the endless stream of pilgrims would definitely step on the threshold of the ancient temple if it was not limited by the opening date.Dongshan Ancient Temple is divided into three, with the East Gate, West Gate, South Gate, most pilgrims will enter from the South Gate, directly enter the Buddha Hall in the middle of the queue to light incense and pray for blessings.The east gate is a quiet place for officials and nobles to ask the monks of the ancient temple to teach Buddhism and copy Buddhist scriptures, and it is difficult to enter when they are idle.However, the west gate leads to the most sacred place of the ancient temple, the place where the empress of heaven senses the will of heaven.The West Gate can be visited by sincere pilgrims, but to reach the West Gate, one must first climb a staircase that is 990 stories high, and then walk a winding road and pass the preliminary test before talking about anything else.After the initial test, the pilgrims had to write the upper couplet on the wall of the side of the door with the abbot in recent times, so that they could open the west gate and enter the holy place with the help of the monks.The mountain is overgrown with gold-leaved grass that naturally emits light, and the whole mountain looks like it has been bathed in the light of the Buddha all year round, and if it is rainy, the light will become more and more dazzling, as if the Buddha is fighting against demons.The environment of "Buddha's light shines" makes people who believe in Buddhism or not believe in Buddhism feel a little quieter, and the monks in the temple are all sad and joyless, with a faint sense of suppression, beware of small chaos.But in Shuanglian's view, this kind of environment is "bullshit", she admired the Empress of Heaven as early as in her previous life to know what kind of existence Dongshan Ancient Temple was, and she had never believed in Buddhism, and naturally she would not be respectful.At the beginning, if it weren't for political considerations, the Empress of Heaven would never have left the ancient temple to continue to survive, but she was afraid that she would have caused an incident and destroyed the ancient temple of Dongshan.It is also because it is not liked by the empress of heaven, Dongshan Ancient Temple gradually withdrew from the royal field of vision, cautious, otherwise how can it tolerate the pagoda to become bigger, how to be willing to let the national teacher monopolize the royal family's favor of these two generations of the presiding abbot is transparent, deserving of a real person to the Buddha, a sentence of "closing the temple", to keep the survival of the ancient temple, weaken their own influence, so that the temple monks can live a clean life, no longer obsessed with red dust.But it also unexpectedly re-established its position in the hearts of the people, making the incense of the ancient temple more and more vigorous, and in proportion.Whether the "closed temple" also has this consideration, it is unknown, anyway, Shuanglian does not hesitate to take care of it.Shuanglian has already passed the preliminary test with Yan Yu in her arms, and whether she can enter the holy land depends on whether she can match Shanglian.The monk guarding the gate was dressed in gray monk's robes, and his head was bare, which became brighter and brighter in the environment of golden light all around.Yan Yudu's eyes were a little dizzy, and she subconsciously hid her face on Shuanglian's shoulder, slowly feeling pain in her eyes.So far, the only people who have passed the preliminary test are Shuanglian and Yan Yu, and the others are still resting and relieving in the middle of the road, plus the monks guarding the door, there are only three people in front of the huge Buddha gate, which really reveals a trace of desolation.Putting down Yan Yu, Shuanglian took the branch handed by the monk guarding the door, walked to the pen and ink left by the presiding abbot, glanced at the latest couplet, and instantly had an idea.Smiling slightly, Shuanglian used the internal force, using the branch as a pen, and carved the next couplet on the wall, "The way to enter the demon and become a demon is to dare to go against the sky, and to the Buddha is afraid of dust and smoke for the Buddha's reason." ”With the pen down, Shuanglian returned the branch to the gatekeeper monk, and when Yan Yu was stunned, he picked the person up again and waited for the gatekeeper to open the door.Such rampant remarks did not anger the monk guarding the door, he just glanced at Shuanglian one more time, then opened the door and invited her in.Shuanglian smiled, hugged Yan Yu tightly, and strode into the holy land, feeling the mood of the Empress of Heaven at that time.Yan Yu hooked Shuanglian's neck, and the worry in her heart gradually dissipated, because the master did everything right.It is said to be a holy place, but in fact, it is a bamboo forest, at first glance, it is really a bit shabby, faintly revealing the taste of "deception".This bamboo forest is born with a formation, and if you are not careful, you may be trapped in it and lose your mind, and the formation also affects the surrounding environment, which makes people unconsciously depressed.Yan Yu was a little dizzy at the moment, Shuanglian put him down and asked him to sit on the stone bench next to him, and he was not allowed to walk around."

Slave remember."

Yan Yu nodded, a little hated for her weakness, and couldn't be by Shuanglian's side all the time.Walking forward, Shuanglian closed her eyes and felt for a while, and when she opened her eyes again, she chose a direction and walked into the bamboo forest.The reason why she came to Dongshan Ancient Temple was to enter the holy land and feel the state of mind of the Empress of Heaven at that time, otherwise, she would be impatient to walk around in this place full of Buddha's light.It's just that I didn't expect the process to be smoother than I imagined, and I thought that after writing down such a couplet, I would be driven away by the monks guarding the door, or ask the monks to set up a formation and kill the staff on the spot.With a light laugh, Shuanglian continued to walk, thinking of various ways to crack the formation, looking for the most likely way to get out of here smoothly.Suddenly, the scene in front of Shuanglian's eyes changed, and she seemed to be standing outside the bedroom window of a certain couple.Knowing that this was a formation trick, Shuanglian responded to all changes with the same attitude, and just watched the play."

Yan'er, I will live up to you in this life" The familiar voice sounded, Shuanglian couldn't help but roll her eyes, this cold and strict is really ghostly, wait, Yan'er's biological mother, who died in her life, is also in this illusion "Yan Lang, I believe in you, you don't need to be so nervous, Rou Mei gave birth to a son for you no matter what, she is still lying on the bed, why should you go over to see her." ”A gentle voice like water sounded, very unfamiliar, but like a hammer hit on Shuanglian's heart, so that she unconsciously covered her heart, this is her mother subconsciously forward, tearing open the window paper, but only can see the cold and young face, can not see the woman in his arms.Shuanglian wanted to rush over and lift the coldness, but she controlled herself before acting, suppressing her impulsive heart."

Heh, I almost got on the road."

Shuanglian's heart still hurts badly, but she didn't have the panic at the beginning, everything in front of her was fake, her mother had already passed away, I was afraid that the reincarnation had entered a few times, and it may be a change in front of her eyes, Leng Yan walked in the corridor with a happy face with a food box, but met a group of people, led by an old woman who couldn't see her face clearly, Zhou Rouzheng was extremely well-behaved and held the old woman's arm.Seeing the old woman, Leng Yan suddenly stopped, bowed his head a little reluctantly, and saluted: "I've seen my mother, my mother is fine" "Okay, rebel, I don't want to give my mother a good greeting now, do you want to drive my mother to the street to ask for food in the future" The old woman was angry, and stepped forward with Zhou Rou's support, and raised her hand to reward Leng Yan with a slap.Leng Yan raised his hand to block, grabbed the old woman's hand, and said coldly: "Mother, please stop in moderation, you let the child accept Zhou Rou, and the child also accepts, you let Zhou Rou stop avoiding the child soup, and gave birth to the eldest son in front of Yan'er, and the child also acquiesced."

But now that Yan'er is pregnant, the child's first sister-in-law is about to be born, what else does the mother have to toss, is it to force the child to never have a son-in-law before she is willing to give up, how should the mother explain to the ancestor surnamed Leng, how to explain to the father that the time is not early, and ask the mother to go back to the room to rest, don't regenerate right and wrong" The words fell, Leng Yan crossed the group of people and left, but he didn't give Zhou Rou half a look, the old woman was so angry that she died, but in the end she didn't make any more trouble.Looking at Leng Yan's back, Shuanglian raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect him to be so hard.The scene changed again, the old woman was lying on the bed, she might choke at any time, and she was standing in front of the bed with a big belly and a woman who couldn't see her face clearly, and Zhou Rou was holding a baby in her arms, which should be the eldest son of the concubine."

Ying Yan, in the past, the old woman has nothing to say, but you remember, you must give birth to my son, otherwise the old woman will not let you go" The old woman stretched out her finger and pointed at the woman in Leng Yan's arms, and shouted sadly.Without waiting for Leng Yan to speak, the old woman drooped her hand and went like this, which shocked everyone in the room to change their faces.Zhou Rou cried the worst, holding her son and pounced on the old woman, as if she had died of her own mother, Leng Yan also had a sad face, but more of a relief, only the woman with a big belly did not make a sound, only quietly stroked her stomach.Looking at this scene, Shuanglian sneered, this formation is really magical, it makes people have the illusion of going back to the past, but the fake is fake after all, she wants to see what tricks it can play.When Shuanglian was not moved by the prospect, the scene changed again, but this time it was the scene when Ying Yan gave birth, and Leng Yanzheng wanted to go to the delivery room but was stopped by Zhou Rou.The old housekeeper also knelt in front of Leng Yan, kowtowed again and again, and begged Leng Yan not to enter the delivery room."

Yan'er" closed her eyes helplessly, clenched her fists, listening to Ying Yan's mournful wail, her heartache was like her soul being burned, and her face was hideous, which made people feel weak when they saw it.I don't know what I thought, Leng Yan suddenly kicked Zhou Rou who was in the way, and before she could react, she slapped her twice, and said angrily: "You did it, you want to harm Yan'er, otherwise how could Yan'er be born prematurely Obviously, the doctor said that her birth is very stable, if it weren't for your vicious mind and jealousy of Yan'er, how could Yan'er be so painful, you poisonous slut" Zhou Rou's eyes instantly turned red and cried: "Master, the slave concubine didn't, how could the slave concubine have the courage to harm her sister":
