Chapter 24: The Devil's Secret

A long silence made Chen Rufeng very uncomfortable.

Han Ling stroked his chin, his eyes did not blink, his eyes were shining, and his thoughts were bottomless in his eyes.

Since listening to Chen Rufeng tell him what happened and what happened and what he saw in the secret road he accidentally discovered, Han Ling has been keeping this thoughtful. Chen Rufeng looks away as if he has become the air around him.

"Brother Han, what did you think of?" In the end, Chen Rufeng couldn't help breaking the silence and pulled Han Ling back from meditation.

Han Ling paused and looked at Chen Rufeng as if he had been awakened in his sleep.

"No, although I'm also curious about what's hidden there, after all, this is a forbidden place for other people's monasteries, and we, as guests, can't ask more." Han Ling seems to always have such a kind smile on Chen Rufeng.

"But... I intuitively feel that this must have something to do with the murder of General Ma Yulin..." Chen Rufeng was unwilling to give up this clue and strive to the end.

Han Ling shook his head with regret and said, "Instead of wasting time here, we might as well go elsewhere to find clues."

Chen Rufeng was surprised and asked, "Does Brother Han have an idea in his heart?"

Han Ling smiled and said nothing.

"I know that you have always been worried about the murder of General Ma Yulin and others. You want to find out the real murderer as soon as possible to comfort their spirit in heaven, but you don't know this truth, right? If you go too fast, you may leave some important clues without knowing it. Therefore, it is most important to keep a clear mind at all times. Han Ling explained to him earnestly.

When Chen Rufeng heard it, he was already convinced. Indeed, he was determined to avenge Ma Yulin and others, but he was too aggressive. Only by calming down and thinking carefully can he find what he usually does not do, and maybe he can find the answer to the matter from it.

That is to say, he is very likely to have ignored a lot of clues before, so Chen Rufeng regretted and even shocked the snake. Assuming that the Moro Temple is really related to that incident, they must have been wary at this moment, and it is even more difficult to find something further.

Han Ling looked at the ever-changing expression on Chen Rufeng's face. With his strong insight, he had already guessed what Chen Rufeng thought, put his hand on his shoulder and comforted him: "It doesn't matter. Just learn from experience and pay attention to it in the future. I'm afraid we're going to the highest place next.

Chen Rufeng was originally hanging his head and scolding his recklessness. After listening to Han Ling's words, he raised his head again and looked puzzled, "The highest place?"

"Yes, the highest place. I think we are very likely to find the answer to everything there. Han Ling laughed mysteriously and made Chen Rufeng's head bigger.

"Where the hell is it?" Chen Rufeng hurriedly asked.

Han Ling stood up with a smile, walked to the door, pushed it open, and the scenery outside the door was clear.

"Do you see it? In the hazy clouds, the looming fort. Han Ling held his head high, his eyes full of longing, and his arms seemed to embrace the world, free and graceful.

Chen Rufeng followed Han Ling's eyes. Sure enough, in the highest place, there was a tower-like obel that towered into the clouds, straight into the sky. It was also a pumpkin roof similar to the Moro Temple. However, in terms of momentum, the Moro Temple can only be regarded as a small witch. The construction there The buildings are magnificent, like a high lord, overlooking his subjects.

"That's the imperial city of Qu Women's City." Han Lingdao, Chen Rufeng opened his mouth wide as if he could no longer close it.

Indeed, only the imperial city has such a magnificent and magnificent view of the mountains and small.

"Do we have to go directly to see the emperor here?" Chen Rufeng couldn't believe it. Han Ling turned his head with a smile and nodded.

"To be precise, the emperor is called king by them here, belongs to the caste of Khatriya, is the highest decision-maker of the country, and is similar to our emperor." Han Ling said, "It is the best way to go directly to find out to him why the black yuan stone has become a tribute to our Tang Dynasty. He can never know about this."

Han Ling's statement is reasonable. This is indeed the most straightforward way, and he can also ask the king to thoroughly investigate the murder of the Tang envoy team.

"Well, let's go to the imperial city now. But how can we get in? Did we say so rashly that we came to question your king why he gave us a demon evil thing as a treasure to the Tang Dynasty and came here today to seek justice? Chen Rufeng couldn't wait to say anything. It seemed that he couldn't wait to be in the imperial city the next moment and face the king directly face to face, and everything came out.

"Have you forgotten again? If you want to hurry, you can't..." Han Ling smiled and taught a lesson. Although his tone was a reproachful tone, the warm expression on his face would not make people feel uncomfortable at all.

Chen Rufeng woke up and patted the back of his head, scolding himself for always not calming down.

"Let's say goodbye to the abbot Tianlian first." Han Ling said, Chen Rufeng hummed, his feet were like a slingshot, and his speed was fast. He actually walked in front of Han Ling and took the lead. Han Ling couldn't smile behind him.

Through the mouth of the cave, the two returned to the Buddha hall where the four giant Buddhas were sitting. They passed through another cave and entered the monk's residence, but they did not see the two masters Tianlian and Tiansong.

"Where are the two masters?" Han Ling and Chen Rufeng came out of the Buddhist hall, grabbed a small monk and asked. The little monk looked at them in horror, obviously speaking to them.

The little monk shook his head, leaving only Han Ling and Chen Rufeng looking at each other.

"Are the two masters not in the temple? Or we can just leave a message." Chen Rufeng looked at the bustling crowd around him, but still didn't see Tianlian and Tiansong.

Han Ling said, "No, it's too rude. Even if they leave the temple, we can't leave until they come back."

"Yes, what should I do with that vase? After all, it is the treasure given to Tianzhu by the emperor..." Chen Rufeng reminded him. Han Ling frowned and thought for a while and said, "Let's put it here for the time being. It's not convenient for us to take it with us, and it's safe here. Just get it back then."

At this time, a monk patted Chen Rufeng on the back. Chen Rufeng turned his head and found that the little monk could only reach the height of his chest. The monk glanced at the two and made a respectful petition. The direction pointed to was the only darkness that Chen Rufeng did not enter. The entrance of the cave.

Both of them were stunned for a moment and then walked to the entrance of the cave. The little monk had been following him respectfully.

They wondered, where was the place where the little monk invited them to go?

How unexpected it will be inside this remaining hole.

The two walked forward and turned a corner in the darkness and saw a bright fire. Now in front of them is an ancient Zen room. There are countless brackets on both sides of the Zen room. There is a small candle on the bracket. The flames shake, like a tadpole swimming in the water, holding up the light here.

Master Tianlian sat on the futon in the middle of the Zen room, looking much older than before, and his face was completely empty.

The angry eyelids were pulled away with pains, and there was a pleading in his eyes, looking at the two people brought by the little monk painfully.

The little monk said a few words to him. Tianlian nodded and raised his hand to signal him to leave. Every move seemed to take the strength of his whole body.

"Master Tianlian, I don't know what your intention is for us to come here?" Han Ling asked.

"Yes, Master Tianlian, we are about to say goodbye to you." Chen Rufeng said.

Tianlian raised his head, sighed heavily, and then coughed a few times in a hurry.

Han Ling looked at him and said, "Master Tianlian, you don't look very good, right?"

"It's okay." Master Tianlian suddenly said, as if he had just taken it out of the box that had been sealed for many years.

Chen Rufeng and Han Ling were shocked. Isn't Tianlian a mute monk? Why did you suddenly start talking?

Looking at the stunned expression on their faces, Master Tianlian said slowly, "Don't panic. The poor monk has been lying to you. It's a poor monk, but there is a reason. Let's listen to the poor monks come together."

The two looked at each other and saw the doubts in each other's hearts. Tianlian invited them to come and let them listen to his story, which was really strange.

Master Tianlian withdrew his eyes and looked blankly ahead, as if there was a book in front of him. He was about to read the text on it.

"At that time, Fang Jingpo came to the Moro Temple and entered the Buddha with demons, and the Buddhas and demons merged with each other to reach the realm of Dacheng. While taking away the holy stone of the temple, he also left one thing."

"That kind of thing is the crystallization of Fang Jingpo's understanding of Zen theory and the evil skills of the demon family. A handwritten "Counter's Heart Tips". The martial arts recorded in this classic contain the mystery of the true skills of the Buddha family and the evil of the magic skills of the magic family. If you can learn it, ordinary people's skills can go further, and people with magic skills themselves , even rose to the realm of heaven and man, which is invincible.

"Fortunately, the "Reverse Devil's Heart Secret" is left in this temple, otherwise it will definitely cause a group of demons to compete. After all, it is another classic worshipped by the demons after the Heavenly Demon Classic."

"The Devil's Secret has always been sealed in the forbidden room of the temple by the abbots of the temple, with the oracle 'never be taken out'. Therefore, the abbots of the past dynasties only know that this classic exists, and they have not seen it with their own eyes again." The more Tianlian said, the weaker his voice became. Chen Rufeng and Han Ling had to get close to hear what he said.

"It was not until the poor monk became the abbot that it changed."

Chen Rufeng and Han Ling held their breath and listened quietly. There was only silence left in this secluded Zen room, except for the crackling sound of fireworks.

"When I first became the abbot, I was still very curious about everything. As an abbot, I was able to learn more unknown things about the Moro Temple, including, of course, the Secret of the Devil's Heart."

"One day, I had nothing to do, so I went to the forbidden room. The previous abbot explained that the "Reverse Devil's Heart" must not be opened. I only saw the box with the seal in the forbidden room."

Speaking of this, Tianlian took a deep breath, and his eyes were full of regret.

"I looked at the box and felt a strange magic, beckoning to me, 'Open me! Open me!' I finally couldn't stand the curiosity, so I opened it and took out the Devil's Secret. Tianlian said heavily that Chen Rufeng and Han Ling could guess in his tone that what would happen next was by no means a good thing.
