Dragon Pattern Jade Tablet was strange, which made Li Yan a little surprised.
This object is a gift from Dragon Girl, which is used to provide clues in dreams. The true identity of "Chengdu Tycoon" is exactly its clue.
Since the last time I had a dream with Chongqing Prefecture and was interrupted by the underworld mission, Dragon Pattern Jade Tablet has been silent.
Li Yan I thought it was broken.
I didn't expect it to suddenly change again now.
Could it be that "Shitilavana" also has clues?
Li Yan is curious in his heart, relax his mind, and take the initiative to feel the rhythm from Dragon Pattern Jade Tablet.
Soon, he closed his eyes and fell into sleep.
It is still the Bamboo Grove Abode, but the Sha LiFei beside the bamboo collapse has disappeared. In the hazy place, it seems that he is the only one.
Wow!
The lake water surged around again.
Li Yan is used to it, so he just waits quietly.
Suddenly, a pair of jade arms hugged him from behind.
Before Li Yan could react, his whole body sank suddenly, as if he had fallen to the bottom of the lake instantly.
He didn't feel the crisis and knew what Dragon Girl wanted him to see, so he just waited calmly.
In the blink of an eye, he seemed to have dropped dozens of meters, and the surroundings became pitch black, as if he had entered the depths of a lake.
Then, as if the world was turned upside down, it surfaced again.
And the surrounding scene also changed drastically.
In front of us is a huge hilly area with numerous ravines, no grass growing, wild sand and black mist rolling in, and no life at all.
Among the hills and ravines, there are densely packed pagodas and bone mounds made of bones. They are surrounded by stones and there are colorful flag ropes on high wooden poles, but they have all turned yellow and faded.
It's "Shitilavana"!
Li Yan immediately knew where this place was.
In the legend, "Shitilavana" has Eight Great Cold Forests.
According to the picture scroll obtained from the Sacred Maiden of the Incense Smelling Sect, this place is "Southwest Gloomwood".
While he was thinking, his body kept rising into the air.
He had felt this way before. At that time, in Shennongjia, the mountain god "Zou Yu" took him into a dream and observed the distant scene.
As we get closer, we can see the cold forest scene more clearly.
Those bone piles are obviously older, while the scattered pagodas have different shapes, but they are all relatively new.
Li Yan Recall the collected information carefully.
Those five-color flags hanging on ropes are called "MaNi Flag", also known as "Prayer Flag", "Wind-Horse Flag", and are common in Tibetan Buddhist areas.
This object is hung on the mountain ridges around the temple, in the wild, near the crematorium and other places. The flags and flags have scriptures printed on them. The wind blows the flag cloth and flutters, symbolizing the believers' oral chanting of scriptures.
This object not only represents faith and prayer, but also spreads the message of Buddhism through the power of wind. Every time the wind moves MaNi Flag, it is equivalent to chanting a sutra once, which has the function of saving the souls of the dead, praying for blessings and avoiding evil.
And those pebbles.
This thing is called "Mani Heap" or "God Heap".
It has many functions, such as sacrifice, commemoration, and road sign... But in the cold forest, it is undoubtedly the same as "MaNi Flag". It is used to save the souls of the dead and ensure safety.
Both of these are Tibetan customs.
As for those pagodas, they are called "Bhikkhu Pagoda" and are used to enshrine the spiritual bones and relics of eminent monks.
It's not surprising that they appear here at the same time.
Shitilavana's theory is also found in Buddhism in China.
This custom existed before the Han Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty. It preached that "Bodhisattvas give alms without hesitating their lives", which is the same as Tibetan Buddhism.
Li Yan already has some guesses in his mind.
This place was probably first established by Tibetan Buddhist monks, and later Chinese Buddhist disciples participated...
This place is far bigger than imagined.
Li Yan is already a little anxious.
First, Dragon Girl has not given any prompts so far, so I don't know what I am looking for when I enter.
The second one is Sha LiFei, who also entered Shitilavana, but doesn't know where he is hiding...
At this moment, the strong wind in the distance suddenly became stronger.
Amidst the sound of the wind, some sounds could be vaguely heard, including some shrill wails and weird and unpleasant bird calls.
Li Yan With a thought in his mind, he quickly flew away to the source of those strange sounds with the help of the strong wind.
Soon, the target was sighted.
It was a large-scale Stone Blockhouse. It was obviously a Qiang building, but it vaguely looked like a pagoda.
One side of Stone Blockhouse has already collapsed, revealing a huge tunnel.
Yin Wind roared outside, and there were many vague figures, some wearing Tibetan robes, some with bald heads in monk robes, and their eyes glowed with blood in the black mist, flickering unsteadily.
For some reason, they just wandered outside without entering.
And in the sky above the black fog, there were many black shadows in the shape of crows, flying up and down, but they could never get close to these figures.
"Get out! Get out!"
"Laozi kill you!"
In the tunnel, the roar of Sha LiFei suddenly sounded.
But I saw him holding a rotten bone staff and swinging it wildly at the entrance of the tunnel, but he couldn't hit those things at all.
Moreover, he seemed to be driven a little crazy.
His eyes were blood red, and he almost stepped out of the tunnel several times.
Li Yan After seeing it, he immediately secretly thought something was wrong.
He learned from the letter that Sha LiFei's character had grown, and at least he had the courage and murderous intent to face this Shitilavana.
But in Xuanmen, courage alone is not enough.
According to Buddhist theory, Shitilavana is very lively.
It is not only the residence of souls and evil spirits, but also the gathering place of Dakini Hero Father and Dakini Hero Mother, controlled by Shitilavana Protector.
As for those strange birds, they are Corpse-Eating Bird, who often appear in Shitilavana like vultures pecking at corpses and devouring souls.
It looks fierce, but is actually sacred, symbolizing the cycle of life and the laws of nature.
The building in front of me is also very strange.
How come Qiang buildings appear in Shitilavana?
It also has protective power.
Sha LiFei Divine Soul, it was just a coincidence that I was hiding among them, so I could barely resist and not be harmed by those things.
Li Yan was anxious and couldn't help but want to go down.
But in an instant, the light and shadow in front of his eyes changed again.
The originally dilapidated Stone Blockhouse pagoda suddenly disappeared.
But I saw an old monk wearing Qiang costumes, sitting cross-legged in the open space in front of him, his eyes slightly closed, and silently reciting scriptures.
Countless evil spirits around wanted to get closer, but were stopped by the power of chanting, and could only wander outside screaming.
This is exactly how to practice in Shitilavana.
As the old monk chanted sutras, huge rocks appeared out of thin air on the ground, leaping into the air to build Stone Blockhouse.
So that's it...
Li Yan In an instant, I understood a lot of things.
According to Buddhist theory, he guessed that Shitilavana was similar to the Qiongqi clan he saw in Xian Mountain, and was the gap between the world of mortals and Great Luo Dharma Realm.
Dakini Hero Father and Dakini Hero Mother, in Buddhist rumors, are all messengers of the Heavenly Realm, and they may also come from the Great Luo Dharma Realm.
This place can only be reached by dreaming, and it should be something similar to a spiritual space.
Stone Blockhouse, pagoda, is probably related to the construction of buildings.
Just as he was thinking, a sudden change occurred.
Phew~
Seemingly seeing that Stone Blockhouse was about to take shape, the surrounding evil spirits seemed to be going crazy, attacking with all their might.
They should be the ones who failed in practicing here.
Out of obsession and resentment, he wanted to attack the Qiang monk.
Not only that, a large number of Corpse-Eating Bird were also alarmed, and they flew towards them, forming a circle, circling and flying, constantly attacking the evil spirits below.
But the evil spirit's fury made the monk unable to hold on.
Wow!
Stone Blockhouse was almost built but almost collapsed.
"Roar!"
At this moment, a dragon roar sounded.
From the monk's back, billowing black smoke rose, twisting and twisting in the air, forming a huge dragon-shaped black shadow.
The strong wind roared, and both the evil spirits and Corpse-Eating Bird were all swallowed up by the dragon-shaped black shadow.
It's Jiang God Great Lord!
Li Yan instantly understood why Dragon Girl brought him here.
Jiang God Great Lord's residual thoughts attached themselves to this monk.
What makes Li Yan confused is, what is Jiang God Great Lord doing here?
Could it be...
Li Yan A thought suddenly came to mind.
This Jiang God Great Lord, want to use the gap to enter Great Luo Dharma Realm?
Without any interference, Stone Blockhouse was quickly built. The Qiang monk slowly stood up, walked towards the watchtower, and disappeared on the wall.
Li Yan vaguely understands.
If you want to practice successfully here, you must display Preserving the Spirit Tower. Those large and small "Bhikkhu Pagoda" are all traces of the practice of Buddhist monks.
The wind and sand are endless, as if time flies by.
I don't know how long it took, but I heard a roar, Stone Blockhouse The wall collapsed, the monk slowly walked out, looked up to the sky and sighed, his eyes full of helplessness.
Obviously, whatever he tried to do, he failed.
The figure of the monk also disappeared and left Shitilavana.
Although it was only for a short moment, Li Yan could still see his appearance clearly. He had an ancient face, a big beard, and his pupils were actually golden.
Subsequently, Dragon Girl's dream also stopped.
Li Yan could feel an invisible force pulling him, and he was quickly retreating away from Shitilavana.
"No, wait any longer!"
Li Yan was a little anxious and spoke quickly.
However, this force was difficult to resist, and I could only watch the shadows of Sha LiFei and Stone Blockhouse disappear quickly.
Phew~
Li Yan took a deep breath and stood up suddenly.
I turned around and saw that I had returned to Bamboo Grove Abode.
Sha LiFei was still sleeping on the bamboo raft next to him, his face was ashen, his forehead was sweating, and he was grinding his teeth.
"How's it going?"
Lu San has been standing by and asked questions quickly.
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "How long have I slept?"
"Less than a stick of incense."
"It seems that Shitilavana time is different from outside..."
Li Yan glanced at Sha LiFei worriedly, recounted what he saw in Shitilavana, shook his head and said, "This time, Dragon Girl brought me in through a dream. I am just a bystander and cannot help Old Sha at all."
"What should we do?"
Lu San heard this, his eyes were full of solemnity.
The complexity of Shitilavana is far beyond his imagination. If this continues, Sha LiFei may collapse before the ceremony begins.
Once Divine Soul falls into it, I am afraid that like those evil spirits, he will attack those who come after him with obsession and resentment.
"I must enter Shitilavana!"
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "I have already guessed how to practice there. Old Sha is hiding Stone Blockhouse. It's just the afterglow of other people's practice that won't last long."
"As long as the tower is built, Old Sha can be protected and the ceremony can be successfully completed. Tell me again, how did Old Sha enter Shitilavana in the first place?"
"He practiced with those old monks..."
Lu San explained the situation again.
After Li Yan heard this, he said in a deep voice, "I'll go to the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva temple and give it a try."
While speaking, Sha LiFei groaned, woke up faintly, opened his blood-red eyes, and smiled immediately after seeing Li Yan:
"I'm scared. If I come back later, I'll die..."
After saying that, he fainted and snored.
"No time!"
Li Yan stood up immediately, "I'm leaving now, San Er you prepare things, wait for me to come back, and hold the ceremony immediately!"
"Okay!"
Lu San nodded seriously.
After leaving Bamboo Grove Abode, Li Yan immediately cast his armor and headed towards the canyon told by Lu San.
Fortunately, the two places are not far apart. In less than half an hour, Li Yan arrived at the destination.
It was still night at this time, and when I looked around, I saw that the canyon was covered with snow, Yin Wind was roaring, and it was pitch black without any light.
He secretly thought something was wrong and quickly quickened his pace.
Just as Lu San said, the closer to the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva statue, the more Divine Ability was suppressed. When they arrived outside the small temple, Divine Ability was completely unable to perform.
The temple door was closed tightly, Lu San The traces of their previous battle still existed, but there was dead silence inside.
Seeing this scene, Li Yan already had some guesses in his mind.
Squeak~
Sure enough, after pushing open the wooden door, several old monks inside were all sitting cross-legged, their heads lowered, their bodies were cold and lifeless.
They were already a candle in the wind.
There was a heavy snowfall and the temperature dropped, but I finally couldn't survive it.
Li Yan sighed slightly in his heart after seeing it.
He knew that these monks still imagined that they could be led by Dakini in Shitilavana and be reborn in bliss.
But without the protection of the pagoda, the result will only be one of the evil spirits wandering in Shitilavana.
Opportunity and Buddhahood are so easy to obtain.
They rely on this obsession to support themselves, but they are not even as good as Sha LiFei. Even if they practice for decades, the result will be the same.
Without paying attention, Li Yan sat cross-legged directly, thinking Shitilavana silently in his heart, keeping his mind as one, and let himself fall into a deep sleep.
When he opened his eyes the next day, he shook his head slightly and continued to sleep.
Although I fell into a dream last night, I was not picked up.
In this way, he slept for another day and night.
It's actually very uncomfortable to have to sleep without feeling sleepy.
Fortunately, just before dawn the next day, Li Yan came to a strange place while vaguely sleeping.
It is different from Dragon Girl Dream.
Surrounded by dead ravines and hills, looking around, it was pitch black in the distance, and only piles of bones nearby could be seen.
Finally arrived Shitilavana!
Li Yan was relieved immediately.
He looked around, no wonder Sha LiFei fell into fear.
Being brought in by Dragon Girl in a dream is completely different from my own personal experience. It is like falling into Bewildering Formation, and what I see is a completely different scene.
However, fear comes from the unknown.
Li Yan has already been here once, watching from the air like an outsider, without any fear in his heart, and ran rapidly in the direction of Sha LiFei.
Here, Divine Ability also cannot be used.
The wind was howling all around, and shrill wails could be heard vaguely in the wind. Even the sacred cry of Corpse-Eating Bird sounded like a woman's weird laugh.
Li Yan ignored it and ran forward.
Finally, after climbing over two ridges, passing countless Bhikkhu Pagodas and piles of bones, the Stone Blockhouse appeared in front of us.
Many evil spirits are still besieging me.
At this moment, Sha LiFei's eyes were blood-red, as if he was crazy, and he wanted to carry Bone Staff out of the tunnel to fight with those evil spirits.
Whoosh!
At the critical moment, Li Yan jumped over, pulled Sha LiFei directly, and re-entered Stone Blockhouse.
"Ho--!"
Outside the cave, evil spirits roared unwillingly one after another...
