Chapter 991

"Haha, I don't mean to drive you away!"

Great Master Chang Geng said with a smile, "I feel that there is still some time before the Martial Arts Conference. Yixia Town is only a few days away from the Dalin Temple. You might as well go and take a look. Maybe you can find something!"

"Yixia Town?"

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and immediately understood. Yixia Town, Hou Mingcheng. Wasn't he the one at the top of the list that Great Master Chang Geng had just taught her?

Zhang Xiaohua felt ashamed and bowed. "I was rude and measured the heart of a gentleman with my own mean measure. Please forgive me!"

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was so honest, Great Master Chang Geng was also relieved. He reached out to help her up and said, "It's okay, it's okay. You are guests from afar and sincerely worship the previous generation of the temple. How can I care?"

Zhang Xiaohua blushed again. She was just worshipping on behalf of Nun Jing Yi. How could it be like what Great Master Chang Geng said?

Because of this, her impression of Great Master Chang Geng was different from before. She said, "Please lead the way. By the way, Great Master, is the Forest of Pagodas … very famous?"

"Hahaha," Great Master Chang Geng waved his hand and said, "Please follow me."

Great Master Chang Geng took Zhang Xiaohua and Dream, followed by several Dalin Temple monks. They went up the mountain path on the left side of the Dalin Temple and went to the back of the mountain.

On the way, Great Master Chang Geng said, "The Forest of Pagodas of the Dalin Temple is a famous place in Jianghu …"

After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohua sweated profusely. She was ashamed of her ignorance.

"However, the Cult of Fragrance has always been closed. Young benefactor Ren probably doesn't know about it because you rarely walk around in Jianghu.

It's understandable! "

Zhang Xiaohua chuckled and did not answer.

"This forest of pagodas is the tomb of the great masters of the Dalin Temple. Since the founding of the Dalin Temple, only the famous and accomplished great masters have to build pagodas in the forest of pagodas after they pass away to show their merit.

The height, size, and number of floors of the pagoda are determined by the master's attainments in Buddhism, prestige, and merit. Alas, the martial arts that Jianghu values have become insignificant! "

"Oh, I understand!" Zhang Xiaohua nodded and said, "Master's ashes or bones should be placed under this pagoda!"

"No, no …" The Great Master Chang Geng shook his head. "If that's the case, wouldn't it be no different from an ordinary grave?

This pagoda is only used to commemorate the eminent monks of Buddhism. Their bones, no, relics and other things are placed in the Guiyuan Pagoda for preservation! "

"Sarira?

Guiyuan Pagoda? "Zhang Xiaohua was very puzzled." What is a Sarira?

Where is this Guiyuan Pagoda?

With the forest of pagodas, wouldn't it be convenient to place the bones in the pagoda?

Why is it placed in the Guiyuan Pagoda? "

"Haha, little benefactor, you don't know. The Sarira is the remains of the eminent monks of Buddhism after they pass away. This set of bones is different from the bones of ordinary people. Its shape is ever-changing. Some are round, some are oval, some are lotus, some are even Buddha and Bodhisattva. Even the colors are different. There are black, white, red, green and other colors. It looks very respectable, like pearls, agates and crystals. This is related to the cultivation of the eminent monks!

Alas, although my martial arts are strong, if I can refine it into a Sarira after I pass away, it can be considered that I have achieved success in my cultivation in this life! "

"Eh?

This … Isn't this … similar to the spiritual beasts in Huan Xu?

There's something in the body? "

Zhang Xiaohua was slightly stunned. In her heart, she naturally compared the Sarira with some of the beast pills in her belt!

But immediately, Zhang Xiaohua thought of the hundreds of round beads that were similar to the Sarira mentioned by the Great Master Chang Geng in that strange pavilion!

"Could those be Sarira?" Zhang Xiaohua thought to herself. But how would she dare to take out the round beads?

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiaohua probed, "With the great master's martial arts cultivation, after he passes away, there will definitely be Sarira."

"Eh?"

The Great Master Chang Geng was also puzzled. He turned to look at Zhang Xiaohua and asked, "Little benefactor Ren, how can you be so sure?"

"Haha, the great master is the law enforcement elder of the Dalin Temple. If the great master doesn't have a Sarira after he passes away, how many disciples in this generation of the temple can there be?"

Zhang Xiaohua explained and then apologized, "I hope the great master can forgive me for rudely discussing the great master's matters after his death!"

"It's alright, it's alright," the Great Master Chang Geng waved his hand and said, "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form, life is death, death is life.

If I can't even understand this, how can I talk about Sarira? "

Then, he smiled and said, "Little benefactor Ren's words may be arbitrary, but there's some truth in them. Although the attainment of Dharma has always been the key point of Sarira, but … if the martial arts cultivation is not high, this Sarira … Cough cough, maybe there is, but it's limited!

Of course, the Dalin Temple places equal emphasis on Dharma and martial arts, and even views martial arts as a minor detail. If the disciples of the Dalin Temple want to reach the peak of martial arts, they must also be proficient in Dharma. Otherwise, it's extremely easy for them to go mad and die a horrible death! "

"Ah?

There's such a saying? "

Zhang Xiaohua was flabbergasted and said, "Then according to what the great master said just now, there aren't too many monks who have profound attainment in Dharma but not high martial arts!"

"Little benefactor Ren is right."

The Great Master Chang Geng nodded and said, "The eminent monks of the Dalin Temple have always been like this. As long as the attainment in Dharma is high, it's easy for them to achieve great success in martial arts. Only a few great masters are obsessed with Dharma and don't want to practice martial arts!"

"Mm," Zhang Xiaohua felt a little lucky at this time, "It seems that those beads are not Sarira!"

"Oh, by the way, great master, the Dalin Temple has stood in Jianghu for so many years, this … how many pagodas are there in the pagoda forest?" Zhang Xiaohua asked again.

"Not many, not many, only 44,358 pagodas!" Although the Great Master Chang Geng said it was not many, his eyes were full of pride.

"Ah?

So many? "Zhang Xiaohua and Meng were shocked." Then … how big is this pagoda forest? "

"Little benefactor Ren, please look!"

The Great Master Chang Geng pointed to the undulating mountain range in front of them and said, "This mountain range is full of pagodas. This pagoda forest is the entire mountain range!"

Zhang Xiaohua and Meng looked up and saw that not far away, on the mountain range, there were countless pagodas. Some had four corners, some had five corners, some had seven, some had nine corners, some were in the shape of pillars, some were in the shape of vertical triangles, some were in the shape of bottles, some were in the shape of gourds, some were in the shape of trumpets, and some were in the shape of water droplets. Some had two or three floors, while others had seven or eight floors. The tallest ones had more than ten floors. In short, there were many kinds of pagodas with strange shapes.

Although it was far away, the pagodas were carved with countless patterns. Some were flying, some were birds and beasts, some were Buddhas, and some were Nirvana. The patterns were vivid and lifelike. Although it was far away, they could feel the painstaking effort contained in them.

It looked very similar to the patterns in the pavilion that Zhang Xiaohua had entered!

"Great Master, is that … the Guiyuan Tower?" Zhang Xiaohua pointed to a tall pagoda built against the mountain and asked without hesitation.

"Little benefactor Ren is right. That is the Guiyuan Tower of the Dalin Temple!"

The Great Master Chang Geng looked at the huge pagoda with reverence in his eyes. He said solemnly, "The Guiyuan Tower is built against the mountain. Its height is as high as the mountain range. At the top of the mountain, you can see that the top of the Guiyuan Tower is taller than the tallest pagoda in the pagoda forest.

The Guiyuan Tower occupies a large area. Only the entrance of the tower is exposed in the pagoda forest. Most of the Guiyuan Tower is blocked by the forest, so you can't see the whole picture! "

"Tsk tsk!

That's right … "Zhang Xiaohua exclaimed in admiration," The relics of more than 45,555 eminent monks are all placed in the Guiyuan Tower … "

At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua knew that the place she was at was definitely not the Guiyuan Tower, and the round bead she had obtained was definitely not a relic.

"Haha, little benefactor Ren is not completely right!"

The Great Master Chang Geng corrected her, "There are eminent monks in the Dalin Temple who are qualified to build pagodas. Their relics must be placed in the Guiyuan Tower. In addition, even if they are not qualified to build pagodas, as long as they cultivate relics, they can place them in the Guiyuan Tower for worship!"

"Ah???"

Zhang Xiaohua was shocked, "Then … the relics in the Guiyuan Tower … No, the relics of the deceased Great Masters … Aren't they …"

"Amitabha, little benefactor Ren is right," The Great Master Chang Geng put his palms together and said, "There are countless eminent monks enshrined in the Guiyuan Tower!"

Naturally, Zhang Xiaohua, who knew that the round bead she had obtained was not a relic, connected the relic in the Guiyuan Tower with the Monster Core she had obtained. She instantly thought that if she could explore the Guiyuan Tower, then … then wouldn't the rewards be … great?

However, Zhang Xiaohua immediately rejected the idea. The relic of an accomplished monk was still the corpse of a master. Ignoring the fact that the master was a person of virtue and prestige when he was alive, even an ordinary monk was still a corpse. It was not appropriate to offend him!

Looking at the huge Guiyuan Tower, Zhang Xiaohua was full of regret and sighed, "There are so many relics in such a tall pagoda. It's not easy to place the relics even once!"

"This …" The Great Master Chang Geng's face was full of admiration. He shook his head and said, "Little benefactor Ren is wrong this time."

"Why?" Not only Zhang Xiaohua, but even Meng was curious.

"The Guiyuan Tower was built by the immortal masters of the Dalin Temple. Inside the tower is the most powerful formation in the world. No one can enter. Only the relics of eminent monks need to be enshrined. As long as the abbot of each generation holds a treasure passed down in the Dalin Temple, they can enter the tower. As long as the relics are placed in a place in the tower, the relics will be automatically protected by the formation in the Guiyuan Tower. There's no need for anyone to place them!"

"Ah?" Zhang Xiaohua was dumbfounded, "There's … there's such a wonderful thing?"

Seeing Zhang Xiaohua's surprise, the Great Master Chang Geng was very happy and said, "Your temple has the Sect-Protecting Formation and the Peak Protecting Formation. It's not surprising that the Dalin Temple has this kind of pagoda protecting formation!"

"Even an enlightened monk has the desire to win?" Zhang Xiaohua curled his lips in his heart as he chuckled and did not continue the conversation.
