The four people moved quickly and arrived at the outskirts of the western suburbs of Osaka in the evening. "Master Zuo, where is the Black Stone Mountain?" Song Lin looked at the city at the foot of the mountain in astonishment. This was a large city, and the edges could not be seen. ¡°I don¡¯t know, I have to try to find the map.¡± Zuo Dengfeng said. "Zhenren Zuo, there's no need to look for a map." Datou frowned and shook his head. When Zuo Dengfeng heard this, he looked towards Datou and saw Datou pointing at the rolling mountains in the northeast. "The Hanba is in the mountains three hundred miles away in the northeast. I saw its aura." "Are you sure?" Zuo Dengfeng asked. . "I'm sure, the breath is very weak, it should be underground." Datou nodded and said. "Master Qiu, can you see the aura of the corpse with the Qi Observation Technique?" Song Lin interjected and asked. "The yin and yang in Shihuan's body have been balanced, and the aura is the same as that of a human being. Qi observation techniques cannot tell the difference." Datou shook his head and said. "Lead the way." Zuo Dengfeng said to Datou. The four of them had advanced cultivation and full of spiritual energy. They did not feel tired after flying hundreds of miles. They set off now and could arrive at nightfall. After the big head nodded, he took the lead and swept northward, crossing the ridge and sweeping eastward on the north side of the mountain. This way he could avoid being discovered by outsiders and hide his whereabouts to the greatest extent. After more than half an hour, Big Head stopped. There was a strange terrain ahead. A basin about twenty miles away was located among the mountains. The basin was very flat, overgrown with weeds and thorns. There was a mountain peak in the middle of the basin. , to be precise, it is a mound. The mound covers an area of ??four to five miles and is more than thirty feet high. There is an extremely old garden-style building complex on the sunny side of the mound. It is already dark at this time, and that area There was no light or fire coming from the building, and it looked extremely eerie from a distance. "Is there anyone inside?" Zuo Dengfeng looked at Datou. "No, not even a trace of human breath." Datou narrowed his eyes and observed for a moment. "Where is the aura of Hanba?" Zuo Dengfeng asked again. The garden-style building in front may be a Shinto shrine or other building, which is completely different from the Taoist temples in China. "It's right below the hill, the depth should be about ten feet." Big Tou stretched out his hand and pointed. "This mound may be what they call the eight-story pagoda." Zuo Dengfeng nodded and said. The Japanese like to use exaggerated words. The small island country calls itself Big Japan, and the sun never sets. The meaning of the word "Tai" in its name is It is the most noble, and the pagoda mentioned in ancient books is most likely this mound. "Zhenren Zuo, there is a faint Buddhist light around this drought demon, and there should be a special Buddhist instrument." Datou looked at it carefully and spoke again. Zuo Dengfeng nodded when he heard the words, and slowly climbed up and looked around. This place was far away from the city on the south side, and the nearest light was a hundred miles away. From a Feng Shui perspective, the terrain here is the most stable Feng Shui pattern. The circle represents yin and yang, and the equal yin and yang means balance. The middle area is the mound. Such a place is ideal for burying and suppressing drought demons. The earth's energy is neither good nor bad, and the yin and yang are neither too much nor too little. It is a balanced and moderate place. Moderation can last long, and balance can make you stable. "Let's go and take a look inside. There should be an entrance." Zuo Dengfeng took the lead and swept towards the mound. After a while, he arrived at the entrance of the shrine. Unlike the south-opening gate of ordinary buildings, the gate of this shrine faces west. This situation is rare in China, because the ancients believed that the door of the Palace of Hell opens to the west, and a door opening to the west is unlucky. Unless there is a road on the west side, a house opening to the west is called a ghost. House, this shrine has the smell of a ghost house. The thorns all over the road have completely covered the previous road. Looking at it, it is desolate and desolate. The main door of the shrine is a wooden double door, about ten feet high and two meters wide. The upper and lower ends of the wooden door They are all broken, and there are cracks between the door panels. Through the cracks, you can see the tall weeds in the yard. Based on the degree of decay of the wooden doors, it seems that this shrine has been abandoned for at least a hundred years. "Zhenren Zuo, what's written on it?" There was a rough stone strip erected on the right side of the gate with writing engraved on it. At this time, Song Lin was pointing at the stone strip. "This place is unlucky." Zuo Dengfeng glanced at the writing on the stone strip. There would be ambiguities in translating the Japanese language into Chinese, but this is roughly what it meant. The wood of these two doors was rotten, and if the door was pushed open, it would definitely make a creaking sound. Zuo Dengfeng didn't like hearing this kind of sound at night, so he raised his hand and shook the wooden door open. The sudden thumping sound alarmed everyone in the shrine courtyard. There were crows on a big tree. The crows were frightened and squawked. Zuo Dengfeng frowned in disgust and bent his knees to freeze the two crows to death. There are so many crows in Japan that they can be encountered everywhere in the mountains. "Zhenren Zuo, its aura has changed, maybe it noticed us." Datou took the lead and walked into the yard. Zuo Dengfeng nodded when he heard the words. Although Hanba is masculine, it is still an evil thing. The breath it emits is?For ordinary people, it will have a vicious reaction, which is why this shrine is deserted and inaccessible. However, the breath it emits does not harm the practitioners who have survived the catastrophe. The practitioners practice hard in the cold and summer. The purpose is to survive the heavenly tribulation. Once the heavenly tribulation is passed, the aura will have the power of thunder, so all evil spirits and ghosts will avoid the masters of purple energy. Big Tou is very short, and the weeds and shrubs in the yard grow so high that Big Tou can hardly show his head when walking among them. If Zuo Dengfeng was in normal times, he would definitely set fire to it, but at this time, the four of them were going deep alone. If they set fire to the wasteland, it would undoubtedly be Expose whereabouts. Japanese shrines are similar to Chinese gardens. They have large courtyards with trees, flowers, and lotus ponds. However, the buildings in the courtyard are not concentrated, but scattered throughout. Datou is pulling grass in front to lead the way, Zuo Dengfeng is shoulder to shoulder with him to prevent unexpected situations. There are many plum trees and cherry trees in the yard. Since no one comes all year round, the trees are very tall, and the branches and leaves are spread out in disorder. Soon, Zuo Dengfeng caught the big head. "There is nothing unusual about this pond." Da Tou determined from Zuo Dengfeng's gaze that he was looking at the pond in the grass. Zuo Dengfeng did not answer what the boss said, but frowned and looked at the pool on the right. There were lotus flowers growing in this pool. Due to the cold weather, the lotus leaves had withered, and a large number of leaves fell, covering the water surface. It was indeed eerie and scary at first glance, but that was not what Zuo Dengfeng saw. What he saw was the shape of the pool. As a decorative pool, this pool was too round, which made him involuntarily think of Yin-Yang Tai Chi. The fish eye in the picture, if this is really the case, there may be a formation here. "Let's go." Zuo Dengfeng looked at it for a moment and let go of the big head. Datou didn't ask any questions, and led the three people around. After a while, they arrived in front of a huge wooden house. This wooden house was built on the mountain and ran east-west. The east wing had collapsed and was in ruins. On the side is the main hall. The main door of the main hall has fallen off, and the left and right door pillars are black. The plaque above the main hall is still there. Unfortunately, it has been too long and the writing on the plaque is no longer legible. ¡°The breath of the drought is just diagonally below and to the north here.¡± Da Tou pointed at the gloomy rotten wood building in front of him. Zuo Dengfeng nodded and walked into the main hall. Due to the obstruction of the big trees above, there was insufficient light here and the main hall was very moldy. The main building of the main hall remained intact. The layout of this shrine is completely different from that of Chinese temples and Taoist temples. , instead of enshrining statues of gods and Buddhas in the due north shrine, a huge shrine similar to a small house was built with wooden mortises and tenons. There was a piece of spiritual tablets placed in the shrine, the number of which was about thirty. The spiritual tablets must have been previously There is handwriting on it, but the ink pens used by the Japanese are not resistant to weathering. After weathering, they all fade. It is no longer possible to determine whose burial place is. There are two black lamps placed on the left and right of the large burial place. The lamps are not made of glass, but The large bowl of rough porcelain from before shows that the shrine was built very long ago. Since the shrine was not close to the mountain, Zuo Dengfeng walked to the north side of the shrine and found that it was just a large earthen wall. There should have been murals on the wall before. Now the murals are mottled, but they can still be seen vaguely. It depicts a scene of ancient war. Zuo Dengfeng did not bother to look at it because there was an area on the earth wall that was obviously different in color from other places. This area was seven feet high and three feet wide, in the shape of a door. Although there are murals painted on it, the color of the soil and the color of the murals are very different from the surroundings. It was obviously added later. Anyone who is not blind can tell that this is a small door that has been blocked. "Does this door correspond to the location of Hanba's aura?" Zuo Dengfeng lowered his head and looked at Datou. "Basically on the same line, the difference is not big." Datou replied. ¡°Why did they block the door?¡± The sound of the pine forest was mixed with the clicking sound of chewing fruits. Zuo Dengfeng did not answer Song Lin's question. Instead, he stretched out his hand and sent out spiritual energy to penetrate the earth wall. He found that the earth wall was not thick, only about twenty centimeters. After a brief pause, Zuo Dengfeng crushed the piece of earth with his spiritual energy. Earth wall. The earth wall cracked and collapsed, and everyone frowned in unison. Behind the earth wall was not a passage, but a black Buddha statue as tall as a person. The Buddha statue had a double-coil seal and a solemn appearance, but its shape did not resemble that of the Buddha and other Buddhas. It looked extremely unfamiliar. "Why is it a Buddha statue?" Datou looked at the Buddha statue in the wall with confusion. "The Hanban was surrendered by Buddhist monks and built a pagoda to suppress it. This place may have been a temple before. Later, Shintoism took over and it was changed into a shrine." Zuo Dengfeng gave an analysis. "Zhenren Zuo, this Buddha statue seems to have been damaged." Datou stretched out his hand and pointed at the neck of the Buddha statue. Zuo Dengfeng nodded when he heard the words. There were obvious chop marks on the neck of the Buddha statue, which was indented by three points. The Buddha statue is a sacred object of Buddhism. In China, even Taoists who do not believe in BuddhismHe would not wantonly destroy or insult the Buddha statue. There were knife marks on the neck of this Buddha statue. It must have been done by crazy Shinto believers. "What is this Buddha statue made of?" Zuo Dengfeng looked at Datou. The Buddha statue was black, neither copper nor iron. "I can't tell. The passage may be behind the Buddha statue. Should I move the Buddha statue?" Datou looked up and looked towards Zuodengfeng. "Stand back, I'll do it." Zuo Dengfeng waved to everyone. There must be something weird about this Buddha statue. Otherwise, the Shinto believers would have demolished it long ago. But even if it is weird, it must be moved, otherwise it will be destroyed. Unable to find a downward channel. When everyone heard the sound and stepped back, Zuo Dengfeng slowly raised his right hand and sent out spiritual energy to grasp the Buddha statue. The moment his spiritual energy came into contact with the Buddha statue, the Buddha statue made a subtle sound, "Amitabha"
