Chapter 2107: The Eight Patriarchs of the Ancestral Temple
Chapter 2107 The Eight Ancestors of the Ancestral Temple
Pushing open the wooden door of the ancestral temple sacrifice was like pushing open a memory of ancient vicissitudes. There was a breath from ancient times that came to my face. Although it was not extremely powerful, it was also solemn. Luo Tian and Xiaoling looked at each other and walked in.
The sun here is a bit white, like a beam of light shining in from outside, and the dust from the beam of light was gently undulating.
The ancestral temple is very large and spacious inside. Compared with the light column at the door, it is relatively dark inside, but it cannot stop Luo Tian and Xiao Ling's eyes. When the eyes swept over, the scene inside the ancestral temple suddenly appeared in the eyes of the two of them.
"This is--"
The first thing Luo Tian saw was a round statue in the hall, with eight people in total. Facing Luo Tian was a middle-aged man with a long sword on his back, which was quite elegant and gave people a kind of yang power.
There was also a woman sitting on his side with a lotus flower in her arms, a big belly, smiling, holding a fan in her hand. Next, beside him, there was a woman with lotus flowers on her head. Although it was a statue, it was a beautiful figure. She was in the middle of the water, giving a kind of pure and holy beauty. Next, there were also donkeys, riding backwards, and holding quick-witted ones-
Seeing these people, Luo Tian knew that these were the legendary Eight Immortals. Although their appearance was very different from those in later legends, the weapons they used were the same. They were their iconic identity symbols, and they all grew up step by step from mortals.
In addition, the positions of these eight people are arranged according to the positions of the Qiankun Bagua. For example, Lu Dongbin is known as Pure Yangzi, and belongs to the Qian position among the Bagua. It is said that his predecessor was Emperor Donghua, who is in Dong, and is the sun god. Lu Dongbin's yellow and white clothes represent the color of sunlight. He is a childish face at a hundred years old, his steps are light and fast, which means constant operation. The cultivation of the Dao and the sky escape method is intended to indicate that day and night are divided by the sun, and the radiation of light is like the sharpness of a sword.
In the alchemy practiced by Lu Dongbin, the dragon in the secret text of the Dragon and Tiger Golden Elixir represents the east, the tiger represents the west, and the golden elixir represents the sun, and the Nine-turning Golden Elixir represents the sun, which is the path of success by compassion, which is similar to the sun warming the earth, giving birth to all things, and reproduction of life. The sun is in the position of general in the Eight Trigrams, and Lu Dongbin is certainly worthy of being the leader of the Eight Immortals.
Kun means the earth, belongs to Yin, represents women. He Xiangu is the only female among the Eight Immortals. Her quiet and beautiful expression symbolizes whiteness and flawlessness, and is untainted by the mud. It is the essence of the earth. She worked hard to collect fruits and dedicate them to her relatives, treating diseases and divination for the poor. It is indeed a portrayal of the love life of the mother of the earth. Yang rises and Yin falls—
"Two seniors, these eight people are our Eighth Patriarchs. They are kind and righteous in the world, help all living beings, have vast supernatural powers and boundless spiritual power. The people we live here are their descendants. I don't know how many years have passed, but they have never come back. Alas - that great disaster is said to be terrifying,"
Seeing Luo Tian and Xiao Ling looking at the Eight Immortals statues in a daze, the patriarch on one side said softly, his expression a little sad.
"The fate ends and the way of heaven is the destiny of every practitioner," Luo Tian said softly and looked at the patriarch: "These eight people have immeasurable merits, but they have actually been passed on to the world and praised by the world. There are many ancestral temples, which can be regarded as having achieved good results."
"Senior, I have never been out before. Has the Eighth Patriarch really been praised in the world?" the patriarch asked excitedly.
Luo Tian nodded gently: "Yes, the legend about the Eight Immortals is praised by the world."
"That's good, that's good. The Eighth Patriarch was finally remembered by the world," the old man said with relief.
Seeing Luo Tian looking elsewhere, there were many statues located there, but they were all located at the lower head of the Eight Immortals, he explained softly: "These are all those that our Eighth Patriarchs were established in the ancestral temple after the fall of all generations. Naturally, their merits could not be compared with those of the Eighth Patriarchs. They just wanted to stand under the Eighth Patriarchs and listen to the teachings."
Luo Tian nodded slightly, and he naturally didn't know these people later.
"Big brother, look at what this is?"
Xiao Ling was not idle and watched around. At this time, she found a huge Buddhist bead from behind a huge incense table. It was covered with dust. Only this Buddhist bead was not stained with a faint luster.
"You-don't touch that thing, put it back quickly,"
Seeing what Xiao Ling was in her hand, the patriarch's face changed drastically. He shouted, and he was about to take action to snatch the Buddhist beads in Xiao Ling's hand, but he was no match for Xiao Ling at all, and was shaken away by her slight shock.
"Girl, don't be rude,"
Luo Tian walked over, took the Buddhist beads from Xiao Ling's hand, observed them carefully, and felt a little moved in his heart. This was not a Buddhist bead, but a Buddhist bead relic. It contained huge energy fluctuations, but it was not stimulated by anyone.
"The Eight Immortals are Taoist people, while Buddhist beads belong to Buddhism. The two religions have always had different views. It is a taboo to worship Buddhist things in Taoism, but why can you see Buddhist things here? What is the relationship between Taoism and Buddhism? Of course, there is also the Golden Moon Continent-"
Luo Tian looked at the Buddhist bead relic and said to himself, his expression a little solemn. He originally wanted to solve the seal and then find the roots of Buddhism. After all, the Sect Master of Ten Thousand Buddhas on the Golden Moon Continent looks too similar to the Buddhist powers on earth, and his etiquette and pomp, is just like the myths and legends.
Let Taoism not talk about it, Buddhism is definitely related to the earth, but Luo Tian doesn’t know whether those people went to the Golden Moon Continent or the people from the Golden Moon Continent have been to the Earth.
"Senior, this Buddhist bead relic was a splendid demon when the Eighth Patriarch went to sea. He almost died. Later, he was rescued by a Buddhist master. However, this Buddhist master was seriously injured and finally passed away. Only this Buddhist bead relic was left behind. Originally, the Taoist and Buddha were not integrated, but - this matter, the Eighth Patriarch had a legacy, and did not let future generations talk about it easily, for fear that it would arouse Taoist powers--"
The patriarch looked at the Buddhist beads in Luo Tian's hand, and in desperation, he told the story that had been passed down.
"The great way of the world has the same sect and the same origin. Whether it is Tao, Buddha, or even demons, they all have different paths and end up with the same destination. There is no difference. The difference is the human heart!"
Luo Tian said lightly, and then returned the Buddhist bead to the patriarch, and said at the same time: "This Buddhist bead not only contains powerful spiritual energy, but also the truth of Buddhism. It may not be of great use to the strong, but it is still of great benefit to you. At that time, this powerful person helped your Eighth Patriarchs, and I believe that the relics he transformed were also willing to help you descendants. Therefore, if you want, you can use spiritual power to smash this relics. Different, the spiritual power here is not only abundant, but your strength will also increase very quickly."
Luo Tian’s divine consciousness invaded this Buddhist bead and naturally knew the mystery. According to his speculation, the power of this Buddhist is at most around the middle stage of the Heavenly Realm, so what he left behind can naturally be hidden from Luo Tian.
Moreover, before the Buddhist power sat in the transformation, it gathered a lot of spiritual power from heaven and earth, hidden in the Buddhist bead. The power of spiritual power in it should be equivalent to a small part of the low-level spiritual power source. As expected, this powerful power should be a secret method to condense the spiritual power of heaven and earth. Otherwise, it would not be possible to condense such a large amount of spiritual power in the relics.
"Did it be this use for the Eighth Patriarch to ask us to worship this Buddhist bead relic? They had already expected that the spiritual power of this space would be exhausted later?"
The patriarch carefully took the Buddhist bead with his hands with a serious expression, thinking in confusion.
"After all, this is a matter within your clan. I don't want to participate. You decide for yourself. If you need my help, just say it bluntly," Luo Tian said casually.
"Big brother, here--it doesn't seem to be that--"
At this moment, Xiao Ling came to Luo Tian and said softly. She had just sensed that there was no breath of the mysterious altar here, and there was no other mysterious existence in the shallow space.
"I know," Luo Tian did not let Xiao Ling finish speaking, and said softly. In fact, as soon as Luo Tian entered, he swept the space here with his spiritual sense, but did not find the whereabouts of the altar. As expected, there should be no altar in this sealed place.
"After all, this is a relic left by the Eighth Patriarch, I think it's better to worship it here,"
At this moment, the patriarch held the Buddhist bead relic in his hand and said softly to himself that after listening to Luo Tian's words, he also knew that this might be because the ancestors of that year had saved this thing for future generations. One was to commemorate the powerful Buddhist power, and the other was that it could help them improve their strength as Luo Tian said. Although he lacked spiritual power now, there were still too few masters in the clan who had a spiritual realm. He was alone, and he could not use the Buddhist bead relic for his own sake.
"Look, you have also reached the peak of the early stage of psychic communication. Since you have come here, I will help you." Looking at the patriarch, Luo Tian pondered for a moment, and a big hand suddenly grabbed the man.
"boom--"
The spiritual energy sounded, and the clan leader could not move. With Luo Tian's use of the mysterious method, the surprise in his heart could not be expressed. He had been at the peak of the early stage of psychics for many years, and his qi and blood had aged. If nothing unexpected happens, he could only live for about two hundred years at most, and he would definitely age until death. There was no possibility of promotion again. However, he met Luo Tian and was ready to help him improve his realm.
"Big brother, you-"
Xiao Ling was a little dissatisfied. Luo Tian's actions would inevitably consume a lot of his spiritual power. In the current situation, the spiritual power would be less. Although they still had a large amount of spiritual power pills and a lot of spiritual power source veins, Xiao Ling still did not agree with it if they helped others like this. However, Xiao Ling also knew that everything Luo Tian did had its own reasons, so although he felt a little distressed, he did not stop Luo Tian from doing it.
"Swallow it and use your skills!"
Luo Tian shouted loudly, and a elixir shot directly into the patriarch's mouth with a pop of his index finger.
"boom--"
The pill melted when it entered the mouth, and I felt a roar in my body, like thunder. The aging qi and blood began to roll, bursting out with vitality, and the spiritual power in my body was even more surging like the ocean, rapidly rushing into the pass.
