Chapter 171 Four Pilgrims (Happy Lantern Festival)

"Where are the people?!"

Sun Nanguo's long stick swept across, the void exploded and shattered, and a huge wave of air rolled back. Even the entire space began to distort and blur, and his voice was extremely suppressed and low.

The next moment.

The place where Chen Shu was standing before seemed to be bombarded by a missile!

But Chen Shu was nowhere to be seen.

Sun Nanguo's expression was gloomy and uncertain: "Two gods in one body!"

"This Chen Shu actually has such a trump card. This matter must be reported to the family as soon as possible."

Having two gods in one body is an extremely rare talent. Even Sun Nanguo has never seen many of them, but without exception, the few he has seen are all the strongest at the same level.

…

And on the other side.

With the huge force of twisting the space, the surroundings seemed to be flashing with brilliant colors. After the huge dizziness lasted for a long time, Chen Shu felt that his feet were on the ground.

"Sun family."

"You actually pushed me to this point!"

Chen Shu's eyes flashed with danger.

If Sha Mao hadn't been hiding something, I'm afraid he would have had to shed a layer of skin today even if he didn't die.

Looking at the empty divine power in the temple, Chen Shu also felt a little distressed.

Almost all of the trump cards he had just obtained were used to escape.

An extremely strong smell of grass and trees came up, along with the smell of damp earth, as if you were in a sea of ​​trees.

Eyes open.

A large stretch of dense forest came into view, stretching endlessly, with strange trees standing up to the sky, hundreds of meters high. Countless tree crowns shrouded the area like a canopy, and the roots and vines underneath were intertwined, bringing with it some ancient beauty.

It's like living in ancient times.

Looking towards the sky again, from time to time there are strange beasts flying, with huge bodies, tearing apart with sonic explosions when hunting, which is earth-shattering.

It's just that the spiritual thoughts in this place are extremely thin, even worse than in this world.

"Where is this?"

"How do I know?" Sha Mao said with a look of pain on his face: "The strength is too poor. He can only activate the boundary-breaking talisman. Where he is teleported depends on luck."

"Also, you must compensate me in the future!"

"I picked up this boundary-breaking talisman with great difficulty. I have almost used it before, and there is only one left!"

Did you pick that up?

I won’t hesitate to tell you!

However, Chen Shu still said casually:

"Okay, okay... next time, definitely next time."

This fat cat has been around for who knows how many years and has picked up countless treasures. She always hides them and only takes them out at critical moments. Chen Shu estimates that she has been sealed, just like her always "picking up" things. Things are inseparable.

Chen Shu turned his head, his distant eyes flashing, and everything in front of him was spread out like a picture scroll: inside the dense forest, a thousand-meter mountain peak sat. It was not majestic, but in this lush dense forest, this bare mountain was made of nothing. The mountain peaks made of stone appear so abrupt.

Surrounded by dense forests, with stone steps supporting the foot of the mountain, a small temple stood quietly. What was surprising was that even if Chen Shu had activated his far-sighted eyes to the extreme, he could not penetrate the temple at all. It's like there's something covering it up.

At this time, the two of them were at the foot of the mountain.

After a few minutes, Chen Shu stopped observing and looked a little surprised:

"This is...the broken Kingdom of God?"

"Or a space ruin?"

Under his distant gaze, there were almost no secrets here. Now there is a distant eye with an observation distance of 60,000 meters, but just after reaching 10,000 meters, it has already touched the edge of the world here and can no longer move forward.

The whole world is like an irregular fragment shape. Some places can extend more than 10,000 meters, while some places are even only several thousand meters long. The overall level is uneven, even if it is only separated by dozens of meters. meters, the depth and length of the border are also completely different.

Like a shattered lens.

Chen Shu was also well-read, and he quickly sorted it out in his mind, and finally came to the conclusion that this was a fragment of the kingdom of God, and there was still a piece of life left.

I just don't know what happened back then. Just looking at this dense forest of ancient trees full of ancient wonders, I'm afraid it won't be an ordinary Kingdom of God in its glorious period.

"But there is no entrance or exit connecting the fragments of the Kingdom of God to the real world. It is safe, but how to get out?"

Chen Shu was a little helpless, but after looking at it for a long time, I was afraid that there might be something mysterious in the temple on the mountainside.

"etc……"

At this time, Sha Mao sniffed his nose and frowned: "Why does this smell seem familiar?"

"who is it?"

"I can't remember, I can't remember..."

Chen Shu frowned. He didn't have any bad premonitions in his mind, and he didn't ask any questions.

It just makes the fat cat feel a familiar smell, and he is probably an old monster.

"I just hope I don't end up in the wolf's den just after emerging from the tiger's mouth."

…

Mountainside temple.

swish swish...

At the doorstep, a young novice was holding a broom that was more than twice as long as his body, struggling to sweep the door. There was not much dust outside the door, but the young novice was sweeping very seriously. Between the baskets, there is a sense of nature.

He was not that big, and looked to be about eleven or twelve years old. He had handsome features, but his eyes were tightly closed, making him look like a blind man, making him unforgettable at a glance.

If Chen Shu were here, he would definitely be surprised. He scanned the door several times with his distant eyes, but he clearly didn't see anyone!

"Roar!"

Suddenly.

Tens of meters away, a giant beast emerged from the jungle and roared towards the little novice monk. Its body was huge, four to five meters high, and it looked like a ferocious dog but also like a calf. It had two horns on its head and intertwined canine teeth. The water overflows.

The young novice seemed to have never heard of it.

He just glanced at the ground in front of him.

A voice sounded from inside the door: "Miaokong, come back."

"Master, aren't there pilgrims coming to your door today? Let me clean up."

"No need."

The voice became urgent: "Come here quickly, my teacher, I have recently achieved enlightenment and will teach you the Dharma!"

"Okay, just come." The little novice monk put away his broom, turned around and entered the door.

At this time, Chen Shu had already bypassed the dense forest, turned around and stepped onto the mountain road.

The road was exceptionally smooth, as if it had been specially repaired. The ancient trees on both sides sprouted branches and stretched together. If possible dangers were removed, it would look like a natural mountain.

But obviously now, there are probably very few people who can regard this place as a tourist area.

After traveling for nearly a thousand meters, after passing through the mountains of tree roots and vines, it seemed like a sudden enlightenment appeared, and a clearing appeared in front of me.

A bluestone staircase appears in front of you.

This time it looks more like a tourist area.

Keep moving forward.

What's strange is that with Chen Shu's foot strength, it probably wouldn't take three minutes to complete the seemingly short bluestone steps on a normal day, but now it took him half an hour to climb up the stone steps. Before arriving at the temple.

Chen Shu thought to himself: "It's really extraordinary."

As we got closer, we discovered that this was a very small temple.

Calling it a temple is actually an exaggeration. In fact, it is more like a private house dressed up as a temple.

From the outside, it looks like just four or five rooms.

It looks a bit old. It is made of blue bricks. You can't tell what material it is made of, but it has a sense of history.

It stood quietly on the mountainside, surrounded by towering trees and rugged rocks, making it desolate and mysterious.

The long stone steps spread from the door to the mountainside. The strange thing is that there are no tree roots or vines on this road, as if they were deliberately avoided.

There is no plaque on the door, just three large characters written on the top.

Nirvana Temple.

The font is like a swimming dragon, written in one go. The plaque made of iron and wood has three parts of it carved into the wood, which has a bit of the charm of a calligrapher. I don’t know who mentioned it.

When I looked up, I seemed to be able to see a giant Buddha sitting cross-legged in my mind, with the Buddha's light shining behind his head, and his eyes lowered, as if he was looking at all living beings, or at the people in front of the temple.

Chen Shu was shocked and shook his head slightly. The feeling disappeared instantly.

Near the front of the temple.

Chen Shu could vaguely hear the sound of chanting from inside the door. The sound was crisp and clean, and it felt like a stream was flowing in his ears. The complicated chanting seemed to be a kind of enjoyment.

"The jewels are adorned like the Western Bliss Land of Infinite Life Buddha. At that time, everyone saw all the Buddha worlds in the ten directions, which were as small as motes of dust. It was like looking at one's own body in a clear mirror. The same is true when seeing all Buddha lands. At that time, the Tathagata came out of the front door. The five-color light shines over the assembly, causing all the light in his body to disappear and return to his mouth..."

Chen Shu did not understand Buddhist scriptures and had never entered a temple in his previous life.

But that didn't stop him from liking the clear sound.

But when Chen Shu heard this voice, he felt a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

Just arrived at the door.

The chanting sound inside the door suddenly stopped.

Then there was the sound of footsteps.

"Squeak..."

The temple door was opened from the inside, revealing a pure face, a young novice monk wearing a monk's robe.

Although his eyes are blind, he seems to see more clearly.

But Chen Shu was stunned. He had seen this young novice monk in his own home, and it was the pair of monks who lived on the third floor.

But when I first met this little novice, he should have been seven or eight years old. How long has passed, now he is clearly twelve or thirteen years old!

He first gently clasped his hands towards Chen Shu, and then shouted happily back:

"Master, Master!"

"The pilgrims are coming!"

A voice came from inside the door: "How many are here?"

The young novice turned around again and looked at Chen Shu carefully with his eyes closed.

Chen Shu felt funny in his heart and was about to say something.

But I heard the little novice say with a cheerful smile:

"There are four pilgrims!"
