Chapter 21 Chapter Twenty-One

At the end of the ladder, the pure white palace wall of the Brahma Temple stands on the top of the peak, the morning glow is gorgeous, and the white clouds are misty.All these are mixed into a kind of frightening and strange magic power.When people stand among the clouds on the top of the peak, they can't help but feel a deep-rooted, thrilling joy and awe from the bottom of their hearts. But there is no door in this palace wall. Where there should be a door on the palace wall, there are a pair of giant hands.In his hand, he held a stone sword that was as tall as a man.The whole body of the stone sword is crystal clear, without decoration, only the halo of clouds and clouds surrounds it.Facing the dazzling sunlight and looking up, there are five huge heads carved on the top of the palace wall close to the sky.These five head portraits have five colors of red, black, blue, white and purple, and they are all carved from natural gemstones.The god statues have different expressions, and the top is gilded and colorful, which is a bit strangely gorgeous.

The expressions of the gods may be happy or angry, but each of them is frowning faintly, as if they are always thinking about the profound meaning of this universe. Bu Xiaoluan tilted her head and murmured, "Why do I look familiar to them?" No one spoke.Five dazzling rays of sunlight slowly penetrated from the imprint between the eyebrows of the statue, like five huge arms, touching every person, even every speck of dust. Anyone who stands under this pouring sunlight and looks up at the face of God that can only be seen when looking up high, and can only feel the boundless power of God and the fragility of life, will not be able to help being in this God. Humbly trembling before the power, begging for God's forgiveness.

Bu Xiaoluan stared blankly at the statue, and murmured, "Who is this?" Yang Yizhi said: "Brahma. Mandala religion enshrines the trinity of Shiva. The statue of Shiva is enshrined in Le Shenglun Palace, the chief religion of Tibet. In India and China, the statues of Shiva are enshrined respectively. The two incarnations of Nu and Brahma." Zhuo Wangsun smiled slightly and said, "It's rare to see leader Yang speak up." Yang Yizhi frowned and said, "I've already said that it's not that I don't want to speak, but that everything in the mandala formation is under the control of the formation master. Everything I say or do in the formation may be harmful to you."

Qianli Zishi sneered and said: "It turns out that Leader Yang is thinking of all of us, why is it that at this moment, he is outspoken again?" Yang Yizhi said in a deep voice: "Because at this moment, no matter what we do, the result will be the same!" Qianli Zishi was stunned, and snorted coldly: "It's alarmist." But his expression couldn't help but turn cold. Xiangsi said: "Then how can we enter this Brahma Temple?" Yang Yizhi slowly shook his head and said: "The gate of the Brahma Temple is said to have been built by the great god himself, with the blessing of Brahma on it. If the master didn't open it himself, it would be difficult for mortals to destroy it."

Xiangsi was taken aback, and said, "Where is the owner of the temple?" Yang Yizhi said: "The owner of the temple is also the owner of the mandala array. Since she knew we were coming, she closed the door and disappeared. The only purpose is to test whether any of us can forcibly open the door." Xiangsi said: "But... isn't the gate of the temple said to be impossible to destroy?" Yang Yizhi said: "That's true. However, I heard a legend when I was in the Mandala religion. Brahma, as the beginning of the world and the lord of creation, fell in love with Shiva's wife. Because he was obsessed with her beauty , and gave birth to five heads, in order to appreciate her beauty from all angles. Shiva was furious when he learned about it, and swung his sword to cut off one of Brahma's heads. Later, the gods asked Vishnu to dissuade him, and Shiva just stopped. Since then Brahma had only four heads left. When Brahma woke up, he was ashamed and remorseful for his actions. But he also began to resent Shiva at the same time, so he cursed him to wander forever to atone for his sins."

Xiangsi said: "I have read this legend before, but what does it have to do with this palace gate?" Yang Yizhi said in a deep voice: "If I think right, the key to opening the mechanism is to have someone take off the stone sword in Brahma's hand and cut off one of the heads of the statue." Xiangsi said, "Then... which one should it be?" Yang Yizhi shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I'm afraid that if we make a mistake or fail to strike with one sword, we will never be able to leave this place." Xiangsi's expression froze, and said: "Is there only one chance?"

Yang Yizhi nodded and said nothing more. The cliff was so steep that they could no longer turn back.In the mist and mist, Brahma's five poems became more fierce, but his lovesickness sank. There is only one chance, but it has to decide the life and death of a group of six people.Isn't this responsibility too heavy?And who should take this responsibility? Xiangsi only felt that his tone was as heavy as this stone sword, and he couldn't call anyone's name! But hearing a cough, Zhuo Wangsun slowly stepped forward and said, "Let me do it." Xiangsi's face was pale, and said: "Sir, be careful, if you miss..." The light in her eyes trembled, revealing a deep concern, but it was not for the safety of this group of people, but only for him.

Yang Yizhi turned around and looked at the steaming clouds in the distance. Zhuo Wangsun's face darkened, he ignored her and walked straight to the gate.The mountain wind was fierce, and his long hair was blown up, but his body was as firm as a mountain, facing the sky. Xiangsi couldn't help shouting: "You have to be careful!" Zhuo Wangsun's figure paused slightly, his wrist suddenly turned out, and he took the eight-foot-high stone sword into the air in his hand! The lightning flashed, Zhuo Wangsun didn't stop at all, Shi Jian rushed to cut the statue on the wall of the temple!

His sword seemed to be swung casually, even the strong wind in the mountain didn't break through.As soon as his lovesickness sank, he saw the sword slipping across the statue, out of Zhuo Wangsun's hand, and "Zheng" inserted into the rock. Xiangsi's face was pale, and she stared at him, as if she wanted to ask something, but she didn't dare to say it. Suddenly, there was a light sound above the head, and the white Brahma head tore a faint crack from between the brows.The crack grew bigger and bigger, and there was a loud noise, as if the sky and the earth were splitting, and the surrounding mountains rumbled endlessly.Brahma's head split in two and crashed to the ground.The closed gate of the Brahma Temple slowly opened with the sound of cracking the ground.

Zhuo Wangsun said indifferently: "Let's go!" Go to the hall first. Only a faint sigh came from the depths of the temple: "Zhuo Wangsun, I know you will be able to open this door, and you really did not disappoint me." The voice was slightly indifferent, but extremely soft and soft, it was obviously a woman. Everyone couldn't help being startled—could it be that the master of the mandala formation that is frightening the world is actually a woman? The expression in Zhuo Wangsun's eyes gradually cooled down again, and he said indifferently, "Are you the master of the mandala array?"

The voice said lightly: "The distinguished guest is far away, why don't you come in and talk?" The hall is extremely tall and magnificent, but it is also extremely empty. There is a long and narrow stone table in the middle, which is more than ten feet long and runs through the entire hall. At this end of the stone table, three stone chairs have been placed on the left and right sides. The whole body of the hall is plain white, and there is not a single painted painting around. Compared with the splendor of the golden walls on the palace wall, it seems to have entered two worlds.What's even more peculiar is that there is no magnificent Brahma statue displayed directly in front of the far end of the stone table as people imagined, but there is only a high platform with a white jade pedestal placed on the top of the platform.Looking from a distance, there is a person sitting on the stone seat.The whole body of this person is covered by a huge black cloak, and there seems to be a mask on his face. The place where that person was sitting was far away, but her voice sounded extremely natural, as if she was talking softly with someone directly opposite. The man in black said: "You are all heroes of the world. When you come to this humble place, I should try my best to entertain you. But the guests came in a hurry and were not prepared in time. Only a cup of thin tea is not a respect." The far end of the stone table more than ten feet away slid over without a sound. The distance between the teacup and the table was just a hair's length away, and it seemed that the movement was extremely slow, as if every second of movement could be seen clearly.But in fact, the speed was extremely fast, and he had already arrived at the six stone chairs on the left and right in an instant.When the six teacups stopped at the same time, the bottoms of the teacups just fit the table, making it almost impossible to feel that it was originally transmitted from the air. Although this movement is simple, the inner strength, calculation and mastery contained in it are extraordinary, but the man in black did it very naturally, and did not show martial arts at all, as if it was just an ordinary movement. Xiangsi and Qianli Zishi's faces changed color in shock. Zhuo Wangsun still smiled faintly, and lifted the tea cover casually. The light blue mist slowly rises with a clear and bone-chilling fragrance.The smoke curled up and gradually unfolded in the air, like a fairy who was relegated to the world of mortals, and finally passed away under the control of a crane, and couldn't help but look at all living beings for the last time, and then disappeared without a trace. Bu Xiaoluan was dumbfounded, and only waited until the smoke cleared before saying regretfully, "Is it gone?" The man in black said: "If Miss Xiaoluan likes it, why don't you open the cover in front of you?" Bu Xiaoluan let out an ah, and couldn't wait to lift the tea cover in front of her. Seeing that the wisp of tea smoke came strangely, Xiangsi grabbed Xiaoluan's sleeve. Zhuo Wangsun picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put it on the table casually.Xiang Xiangsi said: "Let Xiaoluan open it. This senior would absolutely disdain such a method as poisoning." As soon as Xiangsi let go, she said in amazement: "Senior?" Xiaoluan took the opportunity to lift the lid off, and a crimson flower of smoke bloomed inside.The aroma of Utan suddenly spread everywhere. Zhuo Wangsun said indifferently: "Of course I have to call senior. Speaking of which, this senior has a lot to do with you." Xiangsi said in surprise: "Me? How could I have anything to do with her?" Zhuo Wangsun smiled and said: "You are both the Lord of the Moon of the First Quarter of Huayin Pavilion, so why not count as origins?" As soon as these words came out, even Yang Yizhi couldn't help being moved.He has been in the Mandala Sect for more than ten years, but he has never seen the true face of the Yin Demon, and it is even more difficult to imagine that she was the first quarter moon master of the Huaying Pavilion! The man in black sneered and said: "It's a pity that Ji is no longer in the Huayin Pavilion, otherwise, when I meet you, Mr. Zhuo, I will respectfully call you the Pavilion Master." Zhuo Wangsun said: "It doesn't matter how seniors are called, it's just that when seniors left Huayin Pavilion, they never handed back the token of Lord Moon Lord." The man in black said coldly: "It's just because I didn't want to see the people in Huayin Pavilion again. But I finally brought you the order of Haotian with Tuojina." Xiangsi suddenly realized: "You, you are the former Yuezhu Ji Yunshang, and you are also the one who secretly taught Gina martial arts!" The man in black said: "Are you the current moon master?" She snorted coldly and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity!" Xiangsi was puzzled and said, "What a pity?" The man in black sneered and said: "It's a pity that the word "Moon Lord of the First Quarter"! Once, the Lord of the First Quarter Moon, Yin Henbo, was recognized as the number one expert in the world. You have never met an opponent in ten years. And you..." Ji Yunshang shook his head and said, "In fact, you are not expected to practice martial arts, but you also have some special aptitude. So far." Xiangsi blushed, and Nana said: "Master Yin Yue and you, senior, are recognized as unborn talents in the martial arts. Don't say that in Huayin Pavilion, even among the heroines of all ages, the two should be the leaders. Xiangsi's nature is dull , naturally dare not look up to him." Ji Yunshang snorted heavily and said, "I don't want to make progress!" Zhuo Wangsun said: "Senior Ji thinks that he has nothing to do with Huayinge, so Xiangsi's martial arts naturally don't bother him. On the contrary, with Senior Ji's martial arts talents, he shouldn't be wronged by the position of Yin Demon in the head teacher of Mandala. The fame and status are juxtaposed with Lanpa, Mandala and others, which is really overkill." Ji Yunshang said lightly: "You have a good idea. If there is no other purpose, even if the leader of the Mandala sect changes his position, he will still be able to keep me. Since you can see my identity through the tea, this purpose must be I can't hide it from you either." Zhuo Wangsun said with a smile: "Senior Ji's tea art was famous for a time, and everyone in Huayin Pavilion knew about it. It is also famous for his appearance. It is said that anyone who sees it will never forget it. I often sigh and regret it. I was born a few years late, so I couldn't see the beauty. Now, by chance, I was lucky to meet the senior in the mandala formation, but it is a pity that the senior refused to show his true face." Ji Yunshang looked at him for a while, and said slowly: "Back then, Bu Jianchen tried his best to prevent you from succeeding as the head of the Huayin Pavilion. One thought you were ungrateful and unkind, and the other thought you were cruel and cruel. Now it seems that you should add Arrogant and frivolous." She sneered and said, "This little girl is Bu Jianchen's daughter?" Bu Xiaoluan was holding the tea lid with one hand, curiously fiddled with the fragrant mist in the teacup, when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head and said, "Are you talking about me?...You said my father's name is - Bu Jianchen?" Of course she knew that her father's surname was Bu, but she never knew that the name was "Jian Chen". Ji Yunshang said: "He never told you? Well, if you know some things..." She sighed and stopped talking. Zhuo Wangsun smiled faintly: "It is indeed a blessing to be confused sometimes, but people are often unwilling to endure this blessing and always want to understand, just like Senior Ji left Huayin Pavilion back then." Ji Yunshang was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "The people in Huayin Pavilion wronged me a lot back then, and I don't regret what I did until now." Zhuo Wangsun said: "I don't care about what happened back then. It's just that Senior Ji went away to the border, neither out of righteous indignation, nor just to avoid disaster." Ji Yunshang said lightly: "I am for the Brahma scroll."
