The one in the sky was like a flaming meteorite that cut through the sky and emitted bright light. Chu Huan knew that it was Halley's Comet, a celestial phenomenon that only appeared once in seventy-six years.
The holy light streaked across the horizon, and it didn't take long before it sank. When Halley's Comet disappeared, Chu Huan lowered his head and looked over, only to find that the black robe had also disappeared.
Chu Huan felt a chill in his heart and looked around, but there was no sign of anyone else.
His martial arts skills are not weak, but the black robe disappeared without any movement. Although Halley's Comet attracted some of his attention, the black robe's skills were like a ghost.
Chu Huan did not leave, and under the moonlight, he searched around the courtyard, hoping to find traces of An Rongde. After searching, he found that this was just a wealthy family. The front yard and back yard were extremely quiet, but the residents in the house were already sleeping deeply.
Chu Huan knew that this was not where Heipao ended up, and there was no trace of him at this time. In desperation, he could only return along the original road.
Tonight, it was confirmed that Feng Hanxiao was still alive, but Chu Huan had mixed feelings in his heart. Naturally, he did not feel the slightest joy when old friends met. If it was just anger, it was not necessarily the case.
When he escaped from death, he wanted to avenge the Thirteen Taibao. Although he had previously learned that the real culprit behind the scenes was Feng Hanxiao, they were all just guesses after all. Chu Huan did have a glimmer of hope in his heart, but tonight Feng Hanxiao admitted it himself, This made Chu Huan angry, but also cold and thorough.
Everything Feng Hanxiao did had his own reasons. Although Chu Huan did not agree with it, for the iron-blooded general who had gone through bloody storms, he did not care about the life and death of others, and Feng Hanxiao believed that everything was For the sake of the Central Plains, even now, he only thinks that everything he has done is not wrong, which makes Chu Huan helpless.
Although Chu Huan inherited the name of Naga, was the Dragon King of the Heart Sect, and was taught by Luo Duo, one of the four heavenly kings, in his early years, Chu Huan did not have any sense of belonging to the Heart Sect.
He knew very well that although Feng Hanxiao was ruthless, Xin Zong's actions, especially the turmoil caused by Pi Liuli and his people in the Central Plains, were not as sinful as Feng Hanxiao.
Although he has a deep connection with Xin Zong, Chu Huan is very clear in his heart. From the beginning, Xin Zong may not have any good impression of himself as a person, but by chance, he can help Xin Zong a lot.
Luo Duo taught him skills just so that he could better serve as the heir to the Buddha Mother, Rulian. Master Ghost taught him skills just because he saw that he had been taught by Luo Duo and that he was a friend rather than an enemy of the Heart Sect.
Over the past few days, the more he understood the grudges between Xin Zong and Feng Hanxiao, the less Chu Huan wanted to get involved in this fight. He just hoped to bring An Rong back safe and sound. If he could find Rulian, Rulian is also willing to follow him back, which is naturally better.
Chu Huan knows that although the Heart Sect Buddha Mother has a high status in the Western Region, those in high positions are not so comfortable and are involved in too many right and wrong.
Rulian is pure in nature and has a flawless white jade. If she really wants to stay in Lotus City and become the mother of the Heart Sect after escaping from danger, in Chu Huan's view, not only is it not a good thing, but she is even very cruel to Rulian.
We followed the way we came and headed back to the Buddhist temple. Before we got close to the Buddhist temple, we heard the sound of bells ringing. The sound of the bells was low and distant. It seemed that it was far away in the horizon and yet close to our ears. It was coming from the direction of the Buddhist temple. .
Chu Huan was confused. He had been in Lotus City for several days. Although this was the capital of the Buddhist Kingdom, he had never heard the sound of bells. This was the first time he heard it.
With flying feet, he arrived at the square in front of the temple in the dark night, but he only saw many figures gathering towards the square under the night. Chu Huan frowned slightly. At this time, the sound of the bells was even more clear, since the Buddha It was spread in the hall, and it sounded every once in a while.
Chu Huan saw many figures gathering in the square, and immediately understood that the ringing of the bell was probably to summon the disciples of the Heart Sect. He quickly crossed the square and entered the front of the Buddhist temple. At this time, there were several people guarding the main entrance of the Buddhist temple. , Luo Chuluo was actually among them. When he saw Chu Huan, Luo Chuluo clasped his hands and saluted, saying: "The King of Heaven is waiting!"
Chu Huan nodded slightly, entered the hall, passed through the lobby, and saw from a distance under the giant golden statue of the Buddha Sect Tianlong, Luo Duo and others were already waiting.
The three of them were whispering to themselves. When they saw Chu Huan coming over, Luo Duo already said, "Has the Dragon King seen the holy light?"
Chu Huan said: "I was walking outside and happened to see a strange phenomenon in the sky. Is that the holy light you call?"
Luo Duo nodded slightly and said: "The holy light has appeared, the dragon platform has been activated, and the Buddha's cave is located within the dragon platform."
Chu Huan asked: "I saw many people gathering in the square outside. Why is this?"?¡±
"In the north of the city, there is a pagoda dedicated to worshiping our ancestors. I have already told you about this." Luo Duo explained: "Our duty is to bring out all the ashes that have been placed in the pagoda for more than seventy years. , taking it to the Buddhist cave, this is the mission we must complete. It is an extremely solemn matter to welcome the ashes, and all the disciples of the Heart Sect in the city will go with them to welcome them!"
Only then did Chu Huan understand.
The few people did not waste any time and entered the underground dragon platform again according to the method last time. When Chu Huan saw the dragon platform, he saw that a bead had rolled into a hole on the edge.
The last time Chu Huan entered the Dragon Platform, Luo Duo had explained that there were people guarding the dragon's head day and night. As long as the holy light appeared, they would move the dragon's whiskers according to the direction where the holy light fell. As long as the dragon's whiskers When the mechanism is turned, the entire mechanism begins to operate. There are eight relics in the dragon's mouth. As long as the mechanism is activated, one relic will roll down from the dragon's head to the dragon's tail, and then fall from the dragon's tail to the dragon platform, and After the relics fall to the dragon platform, the dragon platform mechanism will also open, and the relics will roll down the ditch into one of the holes.
According to Luo Duo, if there is even the slightest mistake, the dragon platform will destroy itself, and no one will know the whereabouts of the Buddhist cave.
Standing on the edge of the dragon platform, Luo Duo glanced at a few people, then stretched out a hand, palm down, and gently pressed on the relic.
After placing his palm against the relic, Luo Duo took a deep breath, and then let out a low cry in his throat. He lowered his palm and the relic was immediately pressed into it. Almost at the same time, a rattling sound came from inside the dragon platform. With the sound of the sound, the entire dragon platform began to slowly rise upwards. Luo Duo stopped his hand and stepped back. Several people gathered around, watching helplessly as the dragon platform rose higher and higher. Chu Huan also discovered that under the dragon platform, there was The complex mechanism was made of copper and iron. Chu Huan was greatly amazed when he saw it. He secretly thought that the Dragon King who made the dragon platform was really an amazing person and he actually knew some mechanical principles.
Such a mechanical mechanism is actually not that complicated, but in this era, it is really an amazing achievement.
The dragon platform rose, and the lower part gradually became brighter, as if it was lit with lights. Only after the dragon platform rose to a stop just a few feet away from the dragon's tail, did the few people look at each other.
Although it was the first time for Chu Huan to see the Longtai mechanism activated, it was also the first time for him to see the others.
Luo Duo took the lead to walk to the edge of the dragon platform and looked inside. Seeing this, Chu Huan followed the probe and looked inside, and found that there was a landscape like a sand table below.
On a square place, a sand table was built with yellow sand and stones. Chu Huan could tell at a glance that the scene on the sand table was obviously a desert and Gobi.
There were lights automatically lit all around, but he didn't know how they were designed. At this time, the scene on the sand table could be seen very clearly. Chu Huan even saw the relic that Luo Duo had pressed down earlier. We are in the sandbox.
None of them spoke, but Bi Liuli and Bi Liu Bocha also looked at the sand table carefully, their eyes slowly scanning every corner of the sand table, as if they wanted to completely remember the entire sand table in their minds. .
The vast desert, the vast Gobi, but the relic is located at the junction of the desert and the Gobi. Chu Huan looked at it, but couldn't help but think to himself, could it be that the location of the relic is where the Buddha's cave is?
After a long time, Luo Duo took the lead to take two steps back, his thick eyebrows slightly furrowed, thoughtfully, and Bi Liuli quickly stepped back. Although Chu Huan had suspicions in his heart, he couldn't see a reason, and he was confused. The desert and Gobi are vast, and the junction is hundreds of miles long. Chu Huan really doesn't know where the position marked on the sand table is.
After he retreated, it took a long time before Virubosha retreated. Then Luo Duo asked: "Do you remember everything in your heart?"
Pi Liuli and Pi Liu Bocha both nodded slightly, and then Luo Duo stepped forward, reached over, opened his palm, and actually sucked the relic out of the sand table. After the relic left, Longtai immediately emitted another sound. There was a rattling sound, but this time it slowly fell from above. After a short moment, it completely connected with the ground.
Luo Duo grabbed the relic in his hand and said seriously: "From the day the holy light appears, the Buddhist cave will appear within ten days. In other words, from now on, we have ten days to prepare. After we find the Buddhist cave, we still have five days to arrange the ashes of our ancestors." His expression became serious: "We don't have much time."
Pi Liuli said: "Within ten days, a strong wind will rise, but on which day it will occur, we can't know for sure. There are only five days between the two strong winds. If the wind and sand start tomorrow, we will only have Five days!" Xiu Mei frowned slightly, "Time is urgent, we must not delay at all.Wait, we must leave immediately. "
Chu Huan asked in confusion: "What's the wind?"
"The Dragon King doesn't know something. The strong wind we are talking about is the sky wind in the desert." Luo Duo explained: "In fact, the sky wind will appear in the desert every ten or eight years. Compared with all the wind in the desert, The storm mentioned is much more powerful. When the sky wind appears, all the yellow sand within a radius of more than ten miles will be swept into the air and rolled up to the ground several feet. Once humans and animals encounter it, there will be no possibility of survival. "
"What does this Tianfeng have to do with the Buddhist cave?"
"Those who are familiar with the desert will know where the sky wind appears." Luo Duo said: "The desert is endless and vast. The places where the sky wind appears are different, but the most coincidental thing is that, like the holy light, every seventy Many years later, after the Holy Light appears, the Heavenly Wind will appear in the area of ??the Buddha's Cave, and only when the Heavenly Wind appears can we see the Buddha's Cave."
Chu Huan said in astonishment: "Is there such a strange thing?" He was very surprised, but he thought about the unpredictable nature of the world. The sky is like geography and has its own rules. Maybe the appearance of the holy light and the sky wind in the Buddhist cave area is just a kind of weather. The pattern, but such a coincidence, really makes people feel surprised. With a thought, he asked: "Could it be that the Buddhist cave has been buried under the desert, and the wind blew up the dust, and then the Buddhist cave appeared?" "
