"Vairocana Buddha was damaged, he took the initiative to request repair..."
"The textures of the giant Buddha are all micro-carved from Buddhist scriptures. I'm afraid they have been tampered with..."
Master Kuzhu quickly narrated the incident and said anxiously, "It is said that Yique Flood Dragon caused trouble and caused the river water to pour into Divine Capital. Emperor Tang Ming ordered 'Three Great Scholars of Kaiyuan' to bless the Buddha and suppress the monster dragon. Later, Chen Shoujing released the monster dragon. The old monk thought that the restriction above had been destroyed."
"But I heard from Captain Pei that Yi River released the 'Soul Collection Ship', which should be related to this matter. The demon has lived in the temple all year round, and he is afraid that he will attack the monks and laymen in the temple. The poor monk will go back soon..."
Before the old monk could leave, he saw Madam Pei's men rushing over with panic on their faces.
"It's a mess, it's a mess!"
"Maitreya Sect started a rebellion in Luoyang City, and all the government offices were burned down!"
It was dusk, and the streets and alleys of Luoyang were filled with a restless atmosphere.
"When Maitreya comes to the world, good luck will come!"
Hundreds of men in coarse linen and linen clothes shouted loudly in front of City God Temple.
They waved yellow paper talismans in their hands, and more people gathered here.
"This is it, Master City God is holding our blessing!"
"The people's livelihood in Luoyang is in decline now, and it's all caused by this thing!"
"Smash it and you will be free!"
In the crowd, a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks suddenly raised a stone and smashed it against the temple door.
"Bang!"
The wooden door, which was originally stained with paint, was instantly dented.
Although it was not smashed open, it was like a command.
The people around him all picked up stones and threw them out one after another.
Ping ping pong!
Suddenly, rocks fell like rain, and the wooden door was quickly smashed into holes.
All the people, no matter men, women, old or young, had nothing but resentment on their faces, but only a sense of fanaticism.
In recent years, the situation of Luoyang City has become increasingly bad.
In line with the general trend of the times, since the opening of the sea, the focus of the imperial court is now entirely on the coast...
There were natural disasters, a major epidemic ten years ago, followed by the Yellow River backflow, three years of drought, and now there are strange changes in the sky...
Someone is causing trouble, King of Luoyang wine bags and rice bags, there is a way to bring disaster to the people, and various forces in the city are exploiting...
In short, the people are holding back a sense of resentment in their hearts.
Great Xuan Dynasty The laws are strict and the officials in Luoyang are overbearing, which is usually enough to suppress this resentment.
But suppressing it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Once it breaks out, it will be no different than the Yellow River bursting its banks.
Collusion with the Maitreya Sect is a felony.
But when life is overwhelmed, people have nothing to worry about.
There were not even many Maitreya Sect disciples gathered this time, far less than the Guanzhong rebellion ten years ago.
Most of them are ordinary people who follow the vent.
Soon, the City God Temple door was smashed open.
What surprised them was that there was dead silence in City God Temple.
The usual Daoist priests had all left, the palace door was open, and inside was Miao Zhu's body that had long since cooled down.
This situation doesn't look right no matter how you look at it.
However, the common people didn't bother to pay attention at all. After rushing in, they smashed, smashed, looted and burned.
The towering statues of City God and the Judge were overturned and smashed.
The curtains, Yellow Talisman, and red cloth were all set on fire.
The copper incense burner and ritual utensils used to worship Attendant were all being snatched away.
In the chaos, no one noticed at all.
On the beam of the main hall, Charm Coin stained with blood was nailed...
Inside the broken statue, there was something filthy like mud, with white maggots swarming inside...
All the black Wandering Soul Jar Attendant She Ling Soldiers were tied with straw ropes and white charms. After being broken by the mob, it seemed that black energy surged and penetrated into the nearby people. Coupled with the robbery of copperware, the chaotic crowd actually started to fight each other...
City God Temple's chaos is just a corner.
Outside the official warehouse Hanjia Warehouse in the east of the city, the usually heavily guarded warehouse door has been knocked open by a mob.
The grain bags were torn to pieces, and the corn mixed with mud and water was spread all over the green brick floor.
There was Maitreya Sect holding a torch and shouting:
"The official warehouses are storing grain, and people are dying of hunger all over the place! They robbed them for nothing!"
"Grab!"
Seeing the warehouses full of grain, the people's eyes suddenly turned red and they rushed forward.
"What... are you doing?"
The grain officer stepped forward tremblingly to stop him.
Poof!
As soon as he took two steps, the Maitreya Sect disciple with a fierce look on his face stepped forward and stabbed him to death.
However, the people at this time did not care at all.
They scrambled to open the grain bags, only to find that they were full of gravel and dust.
I just put a layer of grain on the surface to deceive people.
"What a shame, all the food has been stolen!"
"No wonder we didn't open the warehouse to stock up on food when we were hit by a disaster a while ago!"
After discovering this, the people became even more angry.
No one saw the "Maitreya Sect gangster" who had just killed someone, his eyes full of ridicule...
In the south of the city, An Le Wan, the Du family residence.
As a wealthy man in Luoyang, the Du family naturally has a high-walled compound.
He even paid a lot of money to hire a nurse from Guazimen.
However, at this moment, the Du family's door was open and thick smoke was rising from the roof.
Blood flowed out along the crack of the door and was covered with bloody footprints.
The courtyard walls were filled with heartbreaking cries.
Master Du slumped on the imperial chair with a knife stuck in his chest, watching helplessly as his concubine was dragged into the room by his "servant".
The person who did it was surprisingly the beggar who used to pour night incense for his house...
Next to the Bell and Drum Tower in the center of the city is the Luoyang Mansion Office.
There were drums of injustice at the door, and holes were smashed out, and the entire Yamen was in flames.
There are many good Kung Fu masters among the public.
However, the cook who was hiding inside ordered croton for everyone.
They were all pulling their crotches, and they had no strength to resist.
The Yamen Runners, who were usually domineering, were hacked to death with random knives.
The prefect of Luoyang was hanged from the beam before he could escape.
With a long tongue hanging out, the body was burned to charcoal by the fire.
The grain store and market on Xiguan Street were in a mess, with flames rising into the sky.
Outside Ying'en Gate in the north of the city, soldiers gathered at the gate of the inn were fighting with a group of masters in black.
Even inside King of Luoyang's palace, there were Ghost Emperor's men setting fire everywhere.
Looking from a distance, thick smoke billows from everywhere in Luoyang City.
When Li Yan and others arrived,
This is what I saw.
"Let's go, I can't care anymore!"
Yin JiuGe sighed slightly, "If we don't find the formation eye, the entire Yuzhou will be in catastrophe."
Having said that, Bento rushed into the city first.
Li Yan followed closely behind with several people looking solemnly.
After learning the trace of Wang Xuanmo, everyone immediately went to Longmen Grottoes.
Unfortunately, Ghost Emperor had already left, leaving everyone in vain.
This Vairocana Buddha is indeed one of the nodes.
I don't know who chose the place in the first place, but it happened to be above the stone chamber connected to the fake underworld of Qin Palace.
The stone chamber inside was once opened by a Buddhist master and is full of <Surangama Mantra>.
This is the most powerful evil-suppressing curse in Buddhism and is known as the "King of Curses".
Not only that, the passage to the outside of the stone chamber was also blocked.
Unfortunately, it has now been dug up again, and the scriptures inside are also messy.
Seeing this situation, everyone immediately decided to split up.
People from the Shangqing Palace and Xiangshan Temple took out the treasures in the door and suppressed the nodes with all their strength. At the same time, they sent people to White Horse Temple and various Xuanmen Dharma lines to warn, and summoned troops...
The people of the HeLuo Merchant Guild, with the help of Yue SanEr, suppressed those "soul collecting ships" and at the same time sent people to Kaifeng and other places to ask for help...
As for Li Yan and others, they followed Yin JiuGe and went to the city to find other nodes.
Everyone walked along the remote streets, avoiding the mob, and soon arrived at City God Temple.
The chaos here has long since ended.
The statues of gods in the temple were smashed, the beams were burned, and incense ashes were scattered.
Li Yan frowned slightly and suddenly raised his left hand.
Wow~
Demon Suppression Coin on Armguard Thousand Thoughts sounded in unison, and the energy of evil spirits gathered.
Almost instantly, a strong wind blew up in the hall, frost condensed on the ground, and the remaining fire was extinguished.
This arm guard "Qian Nian" was obtained from Shu. It is embroidered with the words "Heaven and earth are dense, and everything is mellow."
This treasure uses longitude and latitude lines to imitate the cave sky, which can gather Celestial Fiend Qi, but its greatest function is to warm and nourish spiritual beings.
Li Yan sew all Demon Suppression Coin on it and warm it up on weekdays.
Although it will take a long time to become a spiritual being, the arm guards can already help a lot.
This treasure can temporarily gather Gangsha Energy to increase the power of the spell.
Gathering together Yin Qi to extinguish the fire, it is naturally easier now.
The flame went out, and smoke billowed from the dark beams.
Li Yan pinched Yang Seal with his left hand, took a deep breath, and smelled a fishy smell mixed with the incense. He shook his head solemnly and said, "It has been manipulated, and the incense has been contaminated."
Immediately, he looked at the beams above his head.
He jumped up, stepped on the wall to use his strength, jumped into the air, and at the same time drew out Severing Dust Blade.
Ding ding ding!
There were a few crisp sounds, and the blackened copper coins fell to the ground.
Although this thing was nailed to the beam and burned black, it couldn't be hidden from Li Yan's nose.
Yin JiuGe picked one up and wiped off the black dirt on the surface. On the back of the copper coin, there were seven stars engraved on the Big Dipper, and on the front there were four words "forbidden incense to suppress evil spirits" written in seal script.
"Jinxian Zhensha Coin?"
Yin JiuGe frowned slightly, a little surprised, and said, "Why do you still have this thing?"
"When Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty destroyed Buddhism in Huichang, 260,000 monks and nuns in the world returned to secular life. The imperial court ordered the destruction of Buddhist temples and the melting of bronze statues to make money. This money was the 'Buddhist Coin' secretly minted at that time. In conjunction with the 'Sever Vein Technique' of Zhao Guizhen, the master of Wuzong, many famous Buddhist temples were destroyed. Later, they were all destroyed because they were too vicious."
"Perhaps someone keeps it privately?"
"Impossible, Buddhism hates this deeply. Not only did it send a large sum of money to buy it and destroy it, but it also spread the news that anyone who uses this treasure is an enemy of Buddhism, so it has been extinct for many years."
"It's from overseas!"
Li Yan opened his mouth to interrupt everyone's conversation.
I saw him taking out a few pieces of iron from the cracks in the bricks at the base of the statue.
On it are engraved lotus patterns and some Japanese mantras.
It can be vaguely seen that it reads: The incense is cut off and the wish is extinguished, the Buddha and the devil are the same, the boundary is sealed and made into iron...
"Coming from Japan, it's not surprising."
Yin JiuGe said coldly, "During the Tang Dynasty, many Japanese came from Japan and brought back many things."
After saying that, he took out the compass and looked around, nodded and said, "This is also one of the nodes. I will set up an altar to drive away evil spirits."
With the help of everyone, he quickly set up the altar, grabbed five-colored soil from the leather bag around his waist, and sprinkled it in all directions. Then he burned incense, lit candles, and stepped on the gangbang to recite mantras.
As Netherworld Sect Five Directions Yin Sacrifice, I naturally have good treasures in my hands.
Yin JiuGe placed a Tiger Tally with a yin and yang diagram engraved on its back on the incense table.
Li Yan can be seen clearly, Lesser Seal Script is engraved on Tiger Tally, which is a treasure from the Qin Palace.
Buzz!
As the altar was built, the incense smoke rose, and Tiger Tally trembled slightly.
A fiery Celestial Fiend Qi suddenly rose from the ground.
No one could see it, but they felt that the insteps of their feet were starting to feel warm.
Li Yan took a deep sniff of the secret, shook his head and said, "I can't smell it. There should be a secret room down there, at least three feet below."
"It doesn't matter."
Yin JiuGe said in a deep voice, "City God Temple There are usually too many people and it is estimated that Wang Xuanmo's men don't dare to dig randomly, so they can only use this method to pollute the incense. I have stabilized Earth Qi, but someone needs to defend it."
"I'll do it."
Long Yan'er suddenly spoke with a calm expression, "Leave it to me, no one can come in."
Li Yan heard this and nodded without hesitation. "Okay, Sister Long, be careful."
Xu Fu left a node slip back then. Although they didn't see it, there must be more than one in Luoyang City.
They still have to continue searching, so they can only leave people to defend themselves.
Although Long Yan'er is low-key, Gu Arts is powerful enough to make Li Yan feel at ease.
They didn't talk nonsense and left City God Temple quickly.
After everyone left, Long Yan'er came outside the palace, took out the flute from his sleeve and played it.
Phew~
Yin Wind blew up, and a stream of black smoke flew out of the skin around her waist.
If you look closely, you will see that they are all tiny Gu worms, scattered into the air, almost like dust.
After releasing this Gu worms, Long Yan'er still didn't stop.
She continued to play the flute, and dense "Frost Moth" also flew out.
It was already dusk at this time, and the fireflies behind the tail of "Frost Moth" flickered like stars all over the sky outside City God Temple.
Strange things also happened, and there were still mobs running around in the streets.
However, in their eyes, City God Temple is still the same as before, and they will subconsciously ignore it...
Meanwhile, other places are also busy.
Mangshan Cuiyun Peak, Shangqing Palace.
Inside the Three Purities Hall, Lotus Lamp are densely packed like stars.
All the walls and beams are covered with the "Five Thunder Talismans".
The <All-Heaven Five Thunder Talisman> left behind by Zhang Daoling has been damaged. They can only win by quantity.
Outside the main hall, three altars are distributed in the positions of heaven, earth and man.
Dan Qingzi and several Old Taoist presided over it, and all the disciples in the surrounding temples chanted incantations.
"Five thunders and five thunders follow each other step by step. Five thunders come together and thunderbolts fly..."
This is Xuanmen Five Thunder Mantra, and the arrangements left by Zhang Daoling have been destroyed, but they pointed out the direction for them.
In conjunction with the Five Thunder Talisman, use Five Thunder Mantra to suppress it.
At this time, the sky was gloomy, which can be considered as Heavenly Secret.
Zizzi~
As several Old Taoist opened the forum, arcs flashed all over the ironware inside the Three Purities Hall.
There seems to be a force rising from the ground.
The Five Thunder Talismans turned into ashes one after another, but there were always Daoists who made up for it in time.
Gradually, the Five Thunder Talisman is no longer damaged...
Inside Longmen Grottoes, everything is equally busy.
Vairocana Buddha In every area, there are monks meditating and chanting sutras.
Although this place was destroyed, just like Shangqing Palace, the ancestors also left clues.
All the monks are chanting <Surangama Mantra>.
In the stone chamber inside, the monks were holding vajras and re-carving...
Rumble!
Above Mang Mountain, lightning surged.
Perhaps because several nodes were repaired in succession, the blood light was obviously much lighter...
Above Yi River, the river has long been blocked.
"Don't let it come ashore!"
"Get more Peach Wood Arrow!"
As Yue SanEr gave loud instructions, the people at the HeLuo Merchant Guild were also busy.
The densely packed mahogany trees Fire Arrow flew out and set the "soul collecting ship" on fire on the river.
At this moment, no one dares to be careless.
Because as it got dark, everyone could already vaguely see the looming figures on the boat.
However, Yue SanEr always had a serious frown on his face.
"Senior, is it possible that something will go wrong if it is burned?"
Madam Pei next to him asked quickly.
Yue SanEr shook his head and said, "Something is wrong."
"The soul harvesting ship is Yin Talisman Sect's most popular technique. I saw one back then and almost died."
"There are so many soul collecting ships, where did Yin Soul go on board?"
