The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 518: The Technique of Exorcising the Ghostly Eyes, Taoist Ringing the Bell

"Five dou of rice, Longhu Mountain?"

Shao Yun thought about the name, but had no impression of it.

Ao Li was stunned. Longhu Mountain, could it be that the dragon refers to her and the tiger refers to Yue Ling?

When you think about it this way, it does make sense, but I don't know what the five dou of rice means.

Zhang Jiuyang did not explain immediately, but began to quietly look at the ruins of the Jade Tripod that had once dominated the world six hundred years ago.

The mountain gate was dilapidated, with broken walls and ruins everywhere, and there was an air of being corroded by time. It was overgrown with weeds, and many of the finest rosewoods had softened, and seemed to turn into powder with the slightest touch.

Especially in those temples that have been abandoned for a long time, there are still some remnants of statues covered with cobwebs, some of which have only half of their bodies left, and some even have their heads fallen to the ground.

Although it was still daytime, there was a strange sense of gloom in the air. The surroundings were shrouded in mist, making it difficult for the sun to penetrate. The daytime seemed like dusk, and one could imagine how cold it was at night.

Ali hugged Zhang Jiuyang's thigh and said she was afraid of ghosts.

Little Shao Yun also swallowed nervously and said, "Master, the people living down the mountain say that Taixuan Mountain is haunted and people often go missing. Do we really have to stay on the mountain tonight?"

Although in his heart, the master is a symbol of invincibility, like a god, but the child's natural fear of ghosts is difficult to erase.

So he quietly approached his master and junior uncle, and stood in front of his junior uncle like a little adult to protect him.

"Haunted..."

Zhang Jiuyang smiled slightly and raised his foot to step into the mountain gate, but at this moment, a figure seemed to appear vaguely in the clouds in the distance.

It looked like an old Taoist priest with blood all over his body, dim eyes and a ghostly appearance.

When Zhang Jiuyang stepped into the mountain gate, the old Taoist disappeared again, as if the previous glimpse was just an illusion.

But Zhang Jiuyang knew that there might be something unclean here.

"Master, I seem to see someone..."

Shao Yun held his master's hand tightly, looking a little nervous.

"Don't worry, that's not a person, it's a ghost."

Shao Yun was stunned, and then his face became even more nervous.

Zhang Jiuyang laughed and said, "Come with me and stay for one night. By the way, let's go to Tianmen Terrace first to see what the secret your father left behind is."

He originally didn't care much about the so-called old emperor's secret, but now his curiosity was aroused.

Many years have passed, the old emperor has passed away, but the Jingye Division is still tracking down Shao Yun. Even the White Alliance is working for that secret, claiming it can shake or even subvert the Daqian royal family.

After entering the Yuding Mountain Gate, Ao Ya also put away his magical power and transformed into a little girl in black with baby fat.

Although she looked small, she was actually very strong. She moved the broken walls and ruins with one hand and found many plump and juicy bugs underneath. She took a bite of them and the juice splashed everywhere, making her dizzy with the fragrance.

"I like... here..."

She rolled around on the ground happily until she saw her sister's face gradually darkening, then she carefully gave half of the insect in her hand to her sister.

Ao Li: "..."

The crowd moved forward slowly. As they advanced, the surrounding clouds and mist kept changing, as if their direction had also shifted.

The Yuding Palace is already very large, and with the fog blocking the view, it is easy for ordinary people to get lost, but this is naturally not a problem for Zhang Jiuyang and others.

"Ao Ya."

He called out softly, and Ao Ya pulled out a piece of wild grass, poked it in his nose, and then sneezed.

"A-choo!!!" The sound was like thunder, and it even stirred up a whistling gale, which directly blew away all the annoying clouds and mist, and the area within a radius of hundreds of feet was clear.

And just at the moment when the clouds and mist dissipated, Zhang Jiuyang saw the old Taoist priest covered in blood again. He was standing on a small path. He appeared briefly and disappeared in an instant.

Zhang Jiuyang stopped and frowned slightly.

"Brother Jiu, I'll go get him!"

Ali raised her two swords, ready to take action.

"Don't worry."

Zhang Jiuyang said thoughtfully: "He doesn't seem to be scaring us, but...leading us."

Ao Li agreed, "Yes, I don't sense any ill intentions. He seems to be guiding us intentionally."

"And he shouldn't be a ghost. He seems to be just a wisp of obsession, an obsession that has lasted for hundreds of years and is unwilling to dissipate."

Shao Yun’s eyes widened when he heard this. What kind of obsession could it be that hadn’t dissipated even after six hundred years?

In order to confirm his guess, Zhang Jiuyang deliberately stopped and did not move.

After a moment, the old Taoist priest reappeared, staring at them with his dim eyes. Although he still had no expression on his face, Zhang Jiuyang seemed to be able to sense his urgency.

It really is leading the way!

Seeing that Zhang Jiuyang and the others were not catching up, a strange light began to appear in the old Taoist's eyes, and the blood-stained clothes on his body seemed to flow.

An invisible force spread out.

The art of driving away the ghost pupil from the thirty-six techniques of Jade Ding!
This method is quite similar to the Avalokitesvara Mantra of the Two-Faced Buddha. It is a spiritual secret art that uses the power of the pupils to drive magic and influence people's spirit imperceptibly.

No wonder the tomb robber who set up a stall said that he explored Taixuan Mountain with his friends. As a result, after seeing an old Taoist priest in blood-stained clothes, his eyes became blurry and he walked up the mountain regardless of anything. Then he never came back.

Among the crowd, only the mute servant and Shao Yun were affected by this spell. Their eyes were blurred and they were about to follow the old Taoist priest, but suddenly they heard a thunder, and then they woke up as if from a dream, with pale faces.

"Let's go and see what he's up to."

Zhang Jiuyang walked towards the old Taoist priest, and everyone followed closely behind him.

After walking through a narrow path and twisting and turning many times, the old Taoist priest finally stopped.

Shao Yun couldn't help but exclaimed.

I saw that there was a very open place in front of me, and there was a statue of an old Taoist priest with white hair and a youthful face, holding a fairy tripod. His eyes were deep and compassionate. Even though it had gone through more than 600 years of wind and frost, one could still tell that the sculpture was made with exquisite craftsmanship.

This is a statue of Guiguzi Immortal Master, but what made Shao Yun exclaim was not the statue, but the densely packed corpses under the statue.

The corpses were in varying degrees of decay, some were already bones, while others still had some flesh attached. Mosquitoes were everywhere, and the stench of corpses reached all the way to the top of their heads.

This scene was very strange. Under the statue of Yu Ding Patriarch were tens of thousands of corpses. Judging from the remaining clothing, they did not seem to be Yu Ding disciples, but foreign monks who had disappeared in the past six hundred years.

They coveted the treasures and magic in the Yuding Palace, but in the end they all died here for unknown reasons.

In addition to the statues and corpses, the most eye-catching thing here is a big bell.

It was an ancient bronze bell about two meters high, covered with rust and spider webs, with a huge piece of wood hanging in front.

The old Taoist priest stood in front of the ancient bell, looking at Zhang Jiuyang quietly.

"He wants me to... ring the bell?"
