There were flowers in the four seasons of the world. Even in winter, there were plum blossoms. Naturally, there were also flowers in autumn. The Lanke Temple was most famous for its osmanthus flowers in autumn. Ning Que held Sangsang, who was covered in blood. For some reason, he thought of the osmanthus flowers beside the lone grave in the pagoda forest before he died.
At this moment, the sword that came from the sky was very close to the black horse carriage. It would probably stab Sangsang and him in the next moment. In fact, he did not really see the flying sword, but he sensed it and was sure that it was from the Sage of Sword, Liu Bai. He knew that he and Sangsang were about to die, so he did not do anything else. He only hugged Sangsang tighter and waited quietly.
However, what happened next was completely beyond Ning Que's imagination and calculation. The sword that came from the sky and was supposed to kill the two of them actually flew past the black horse carriage!
The quiet Light of Buddha faded behind the horse carriage. The dilapidated scene in the back temple of the Lanke Temple and the autumn rain were all isolated outside and then disappeared without a trace. It was quiet all around.
Ning Que knew that the horse carriage had completely entered the world in the chessboard. His extremely tense mind suddenly relaxed. Sweat poured out like a storm and instantly drenched his body.
The Big Black Horse also felt the changes in the surrounding environment. It neighed happily and galloped on the quiet road. However, before it could run more than ten feet, the seemingly deep and endless road suddenly broke in the middle!
The road was originally on a high mountain in the chessboard world. The sudden collapse in front of it naturally turned it into a cliff!
Having just escaped from a desperate situation, it did not expect to face such danger in such a short time. The Big Black Horse did not even have time to stop. Its violent temper flared up in the moment of despair and it actually rushed down while neighing wildly!
With a heavy crash, the black horse carriage landed heavily on the ground. The wheels crushed a puddle that was about to freeze. Then, it rolled over the slightly hardened and cold ground and continued galloping towards the cold sun in the distance!
The violent impact bounced Ning Que up in the carriage. His head hit the carriage board heavily, and the pain made him wake up from the confusion caused by the unexpected change. He subconsciously looked out of the window, only to see a stretch of desolation. The field was dark and silent, and there were a few withered trees occasionally.
This was not the Lanke Temple, but it was also not the world in the chessboard. The white grass with the color of frost had long died, and the fish in the puddles must have long been frozen. It was still autumn. The scenery looked familiar to him, but he had never been here before. What was this place?
Was this a wasteland? But a moment ago, the black horse carriage was still in front of the back temple of Lanke Temple. Why did it appear in the Wilderness the next moment? The Lanke Temple was located in the southeast territorial sea. The closest distance to the Wilderness was more than a thousand miles. What had happened? Why were we here?
Ning Que looked at the scenery of the Wilderness outside the window and was shocked speechless. Then, he came to his senses and anxiously looked at Sangsang in his arms. Although the little girl was still very weak, her life should not be in danger. He could not help but gasp heavily and wave his fist forcefully.
As long as Sangsang was still alive, as long as this was not the Lanke Temple, as long as there was no Light of Buddha shrouding the horse carriage, he would not care even if they were in the Underworld, let alone traversing thousands of miles to the Wilderness.
After galloping for a distance, the Big Black Horse woke up from the violent emotions that had erupted before its death. It slowly stopped and turned its head to look around in alarm. After confirming that this was not the Lanke Temple and that it had not fallen to its death under the damned cliff, it began to pant with lingering fear.
Sangsang woke up and struggled to open her eyes. Looking at the sky outside the window, she found that she was not dead, and neither was Ning Que. She could not help but feel a little confused and asked, "Where is this?"
Ning Que held her close to the window and looked out. After thinking silently for a moment, he remembered an allusion that Master Qishan had told him a few days ago and vaguely guessed the truth. However, even though he had seen it with his own eyes, he still found it hard to believe what he had encountered.
"If I'm not wrong, we should be in the Western Wilderness now," he said.
Hearing his answer, Sangsang's nose turned sour. She said sadly, "The Western Wilderness and the Tile Mountain have to cross the entire continent. It is so far away. How can we arrive in the blink of an eye? Are we already dead? Is this the Underworld? We are already dead. Ning Que, why do you still like to lie to me? "
Ning Que wiped the tears off her pale little face and coaxed, "If you are really dead, it doesn't matter if I lie to you. When did I lie to you about anything when you were not dead? This is really the Western Wilderness. "
Sangsang felt a little better and forced herself to sit up in his arms. Looking out of the window, she found that it was really like the Wilderness that she and Ning Que were familiar with. She could not help but be surprised.
"A few days ago, Master Qishan told me a story about the Lanke Temple."
Ning Que said thoughtfully, "It is said that when Buddha cultivated in the Tile Mountain, he once sensed that there was a place at the foot of the mountain that was vaguely connected to the Xuankong Temple. So he ordered his disciples to build the Lanke Temple there. Later, Buddha comprehended the supreme Dharma of space passage and built a simple stone pagoda there, which could allow monks to directly reach the Far West Pure Land. I asked the master if the formation was still there. The master said that after tens of thousands of years, the mana left by the Buddha had disappeared without a trace. The stone pagoda had also turned into ashes. The monks in the temple built a Buddhist temple on the location of the stone pagoda. It was the Buddhist temple that we were sitting in before. "
Sangsang could not believe this explanation. She widened her eyes and asked, "Are you saying that when the master opened the world of the chessboard, he also opened the array of the stone pagoda left by Buddha? So he sent us here?"
Ning Que shook his head and said, "Since the master thought that the space array left by Buddha had lost its effect, then he definitely did not open it. Perhaps something happened in the Lanke Temple after the horse carriage entered the chessboard. But we have no way of knowing now. It must have been a big commotion."
The array of the stone pagoda deep in the foundation of the Buddha hall in the back temple of the Lanke Temple had been buried for many years. The power left by Buddha had indeed almost completely disappeared. However, the monks in the temple had been chanting and worshipping Buddha for countless years. Under the influence of the Buddha's nature, the stone pagoda still retained the last bit of power.
Ning Que did not know what happened in the Lanke Temple after the black horse carriage entered the chessboard. But his guess was right. The commotion that could reopen the array left by Buddha was naturally not small.
At that moment, the World Wayfarer of the Buddhism Sect, Qi Nian, broke his 16-year Silent Meditation and wanted to forcefully reverse the rules of the chessboard world. Second Brother, Jun Mo, threw out the iron sword with all his power.
The Silent Meditation of the Buddhism Sect and the iron sword of the Academy were the most powerful techniques in the cultivation world. But if there was only one of them, it would not be enough to open the array. But when the two overlapped, a very magical change occurred.
The power of Buddha hidden in the broken well was activated, and the array in the stone pagoda was reopened. Perhaps because the chessboard was also a relic of Buddha, the array automatically sent the chessboard to the Western Wilderness.
So when the black horse carriage rushed out of the chessboard world, it naturally landed in the Wilderness.
"There is one more thing that I do not understand. Why can we rush out of the chessboard world on our own?"
Ning Que was very puzzled.
Sangsang had already believed this magical experience. Because of this, she thought of something else. Her face turned pale and she said, "If that array is connected to the Lanke Temple and the Xuankong Temple, then we are now …"
Ning Que looked at the Bodhi tree with grey bark and futon leaves in the distance. He said with a serious expression, "Yes, we should be very close to the Xuankong Temple now."
The Big Black Horse was in the ecstasy of surviving a disaster. It kicked its front hooves lightly and pulled up the slightly black soil. It wanted to see if it could find some good things like the Yellow Fruit of the Goblin to reward itself. Suddenly, it heard the sound coming from the carriage. Its ears suddenly stood up in fear and its body became extremely stiff.
Because of the previous encounter in the Lanke Temple, it had a deep impression of the monk in the cotton kasaya. It should be said that it was extremely afraid of him. And that monk was from the Xuankong Temple. In its view, any monk from the Xuankong Temple was so terrifying. Now that he had come to the Xuankong Temple, it was no different from courting death!
The Big Black Horse forcibly suppressed the fear in its heart and did not dare to neigh. It stealthily turned around and prepared to escape in the direction from which it came. However, when it turned around, it was shocked to find that the scenery in all four directions was almost the same. It did not know where the Xuankong Temple was. Where should it escape to?
Ning Que carefully placed Sangsang on the bedding and walked out of the carriage. He stood on the shaft of the carriage and covered his eyes with his hand. He looked up at the sky seriously for a long time and did not say anything.
The Big Black Horse was extremely anxious. It thought, How can you still be in the mood to look up at the starry sky at a time like this? Look at the cold sun. It is obviously morning. Where are the stars?
"Why can't I see anything?" Ning Que was a little confused. "Could it be that the array does not lead to the Xuankong Temple? But there is clearly something wrong with the Bodhi tree. "
The Big Black Horse's eyes brightened. It thought that Ning Que was indeed worthy of his master. He could actually think that the Xuankong Temple must be on the mythical Floating Island. Then as long as he looked up at the sky, he would not have to worry, would he?
Ning Que saw a very small mound in the distance. He could vaguely see some green on it. He gently kicked the Big Black Horse's rump and motioned it to go there and see what was there.
The Big Black Horse twisted its rump angrily. It was not that it was dissatisfied with being kicked by Ning Que. It was something that it had long been used to, but it felt that Ning Que's decision was a little hasty. In a place like the Wilderness, as long as there was green, there must be danger. It was said that Ning Que had killed the Horse Gang in the Wilderness. Didn't he know that?
Ning Que knew what the silly horse was thinking. He said angrily, "Do you think that the Xuankong Temple is on that mound? Such a small mound can not even put an incense burner. How about you make a Buddhist temple out of it? "
The Big Black Horse thought that Ning Que's words made sense. It was probably confused by fear. This guy was indeed worthy of being its master. He could still be so calm after escaping from death.
The wheels rolled and the black horse carriage moved toward the green mound in the distance.
In the beginning, Ning Que's expression was still very calm. However, gradually, his expression became more and more solemn. That was because he found something very strange.
With the speed of the Big Black Horse, the mound seemed to be very far. In fact, it should not take long to reach it. However, after a while, the mound still seemed to be far away.
Ning Que gradually became vigilant. He lifted the curtain and was ready to stop the Big Black Horse.
The Big Black Horse had already stopped. Its eyes were full of fear and its thick lips were tightly shut. It did not dare to show even one of its big white teeth that it was proud of. It did not dare to breathe at this time.
Ning Que saw the scene in front of the horse carriage. His body suddenly stiffened and he was so shocked that he could not breathe.
…
…
The Wilderness suddenly sank a hundred feet in front of the black horse carriage, forming a steep cliff. Because the terrain of the Wilderness was extremely flat, it could not be seen before. It was only when they walked in front of the cliff that they discovered it.
It was indeed very strange that a cliff suddenly appeared in the Wilderness. However, it was not the cliff itself that shocked Ning Que and the Big Black Horse so much that they did not dare to breathe.
The cliff was extremely wide and spread out in all directions in front of the Wilderness. There seemed to be no end in sight. Then, it merged in the distant sky and formed an incomparably wide and deep sinkhole. It was so big that humans could not even imagine it!
Looking at the shocking scene in front of him, Ning Que even had a very strong feeling that even if the entire Chang 'an City was placed in it, it would not be able to fill up the sinkhole!
He had once been to the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine and was shocked by the magnificent building that the Desolate Man had dug between heaven and earth a thousand years ago. However, compared to this sinkhole, the Front Gate of the Devil's Doctrine was like an inconspicuous hut!
Right in the middle of the sinkhole stood an extremely majestic mountain. This mountain seemed to be as high as the highest peak of Min Mountain. However, because the sinkhole was too deep, only a very small part of the mountain was poking out of the ground!
The majestic mountain in the sinkhole was at least dozens of miles away from the black horse carriage by the side of the sinkhole. The peak that poked out of the ground was lush and lush. It was the little green mound that Ning Que had seen earlier!
If someone could look down at the ground of the Western Wilderness from tens of thousands of miles up in the sky, in his eyes, the sinkhole and the mountain in the sinkhole would probably be like an exquisitely designed bonsai. However, when such a magnificent bonsai appeared in the human world, it would definitely shock anyone who saw it for the first time.
Ning Que and the Big Black Horse were very shocked, but they were not in the mood to admire it. Because there were countless yellow temples faintly visible on the majestic mountain in the sinkhole.
Those temples in the mountain were probably the Xuankong Temple.
It could only be the Xuankong Temple.
