Chapter 031 Lingyun Cave!
Ni Kun had thought that there might be someone patrolling the back hill of the Big Buddha, and he had also told Wen Caiting and Kankan to be careful.
It can be seen that Wen Caiting and Kankan were cautious enough. With their lightness skills, they were able to avoid the martial arts masters who were patrolling the back mountain.
But the premise is that there is no burden like Ni Kun...
Well, Ni Kun is really a burden.
Others, such as Xianxian, can climb mountains and cross rivers barefoot and leap like flying, but he has to be carried by Wen Caiting all the way.
It was precisely because Wen Caiting had to carry more than 100 pounds on her back that her lightness skills were inevitably affected, which caused her to accidentally make a little noise, which was noticed by the alert martial arts master monk.
As a result, this secret infiltration led by Ni Kun failed because of his drag.
Even if the stealth failed, it wouldn't be a big problem.
Nowadays, Buddhism still pays more attention to its image.
Even if they discovered Ni Kun and his two companions' sneaking around and suspected them of having ulterior motives, without any solid evidence, the Buddhist masters would at most politely but firmly ask them to leave and would not take action rashly.
But the problem is, Ni Kun has Wen Caiting...
Kankan was a new comer and had not yet gained fame, so the Buddhist masters did not know her.
Ni Kun was just a clerk in the Hanshui School, a nobody.
Wen Caiting is the junior sister of Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan. She used to be the main force of Yin Gui Sect and had many conflicts with Buddhism. She is also a well-known demon woman registered in Buddhism.
Ordinary Buddhist disciples may not know Wen Caiting yet.
However, the Buddhist master whom Ni Kun and his companions ran into happened to have had a conflict with Wen Caiting before, and he recognized this Yingui sect elder-level evil woman at a glance.
Since he recognized Wen Caiting, then looking at Kankan again, she must be a demon too, since she is mixed with the Yin Gui demon girl and looks so beautiful.
Then he looked at Ni Kun again. His appearance and temperament might be similar to Mo Yin Bian Bufu. He was the core male disciple carefully trained by the Yingui Sect.
The three Yin Gui monsters sneaked through the forest, trying to go around from the back mountain to the top of the mountain and "override" the head of the Buddha statue. Isn't their intention obvious?
Thereupon, the Buddhist master roared like a lion, revealing the whereabouts of Ni Kun and the other two.
Fortunately, when they were discovered, Ni Kun and his group were not far from the top of the mountain.
Kankan immediately took action to intercept the Buddhist master, while Wen Caiting carried Ni Kun on her back and flew to the top of the mountain.
When Wen Caiting carried Ni Kun to the top of the mountain above the Buddha's head and began to look for Lingyun Cave, Zhang Liang's master, the evil monk with the Eight-Finger Zen Master's common name, the Eight-Armed Xiong Maotai, also appeared on the other side of the mountain, treading on the water to cross the river, rushing forward and causing a commotion.
By the time Kankan defeated the Buddhist master and rushed over to join them, more Buddhist monks chased them towards the top of the mountain.
The evil monk Mao Tai also broke through the Buddhist defenses and began to fly around the Buddha statue recklessly.
When Mao Tai jumped onto the Buddha's head and trampled on its curled bun, Ni Kun had already found a cave shaded by a large number of vines.
Clumps of vines hung down from the top of the cave, like a curtain covering the cave tightly. If you don't go to the top of the mountain to search, you can't really see the cave if you look at it from the bottom of the mountain or from the mountains on both sides.
Ni Kun didn't know whether this was Lingyun Cave.
But since I'm already here, and have accidentally revealed my whereabouts and been discovered by the Buddhist masters, I have no choice but to go in first.
At that moment, Ni Kun jumped off Wen Caiting's back, lifted up the vines, and dived into the cave.
After walking forward for more than ten steps, a hot breath suddenly blew towards him. In this early winter season, it actually gave people a feeling of being in the heat of midsummer. Ni Kun was immediately delighted and thought to himself that this must be the Lingyun Cave.
It’s a pity that now there are Buddhists chasing us and the cave cannot be kept secret. I’m afraid there will be no chance to calmly search for and collect the Blood Bodhi.
Of course, Ni Kun would not regret his action.
Since the Buddhists had discovered the giant Buddha long ago and regarded this place as a miraculous place where "Buddha appeared", and they also planned to build plank roads and temples here, no matter when you come, it is impossible to avoid the eyes and ears of Buddhist masters.
Even if they arrived too late, the Buddhists might have discovered Lingyun Cave first when they were surveying .
So the timing is actually just right.
Besides, the Blood Bodhi has a strange appearance. If you don’t know its origin, I’m afraid no one would dare to put it in your mouth easily - even many wild fruits are poisonous. Who can be sure that the strange-looking fruit of the Blood Bodhi is definitely a treasure from heaven, rather than some kind of poisonous fruit that will kill you if it touches you or kills you if it enters your throat?
Besides, it was Ni Kun who entered the cave first after all. As the saying goes, one step ahead means all steps ahead. As long as he can gain the upper hand, the greatest benefit will naturally belong to him.
At that moment, Ni Kun called out to Kankan who was preparing to intercept the Buddhist pursuers at the cave entrance. When she retreated into the cave and came to Ni Kun and Wen Caiting, Ni Kun did not care about the loss of his life and directly projected five long swords. He stretched out his hand and pointed, and the five swords flew up and slashed at the dome of the cave entrance, and finally chopped the dome down.
With a loud rumbling sound, large pieces of rubble kept falling, forcing the Buddhist monks who were about to chase into the cave to retreat again and again.
When the monks left the cave, the entrance had been blocked by large pieces of rubble.
Ni Kun did not stop, waved his sleeves and said, "Let's go!"
He strode into the cave with Kankan and Wen Caiting, whose eyes were sparkling with excitement at his "flying sword technique".
At this time, the evil monk Mao Tai also chased here. The martial monk masters who were blocked outside the cave by the cave entrance did not see Mao Tai injuring the martial monks at the foot of the mountain. Seeing that Mao Tai was dressed up and equipped, they thought he was one of them. At that moment, one of the martial monks shouted:
"Brother, the demon has escaped into this cave and blocked the entrance. Please help us open the passage and hunt down the demon!"
Mao Tai snorted coldly, without saying anything, he strode forward, swung his Zen stick and smashed it hard, smashing a stone as big as a water tank into powder with a bang.
Afterwards, he swung the Zen staff again and again, and with a loud bang, several rocks as tall as a person were shattered one after another.
When the monks saw him breaking the big rocks like breaking rotten wood, they all exclaimed: "Brother, what great power!"
Mao Tai did not answer, but smashed things with all his might, breaking most of the rubble that blocked the cave entrance, revealing a hole that was barely big enough for one person to pass through.
It’s just that Mao Tai is too big. Ordinary people can pass through the entrance of the cave, but he, who is as tall and strong as a bear, cannot.
Then he poked the Zen stick into the hole and pushed it left and right, knocking away half of the rubble, thus widening the hole. Only then was he ready to go in first.
Just as he was about to take a step, the current guardian of the Buddhist mountain gate, the Master Zhenyan who was proficient in the "Zhenyan Dharma Seal", flew over and shouted in a low voice:
"This man is a demon who pretends to be a monk and has ruined the reputation of our Buddhist sect. He has also damaged the giant Buddha statue and trampled on the Buddha's gyroscopic bun. Disciples, stop him!"
The martial arts masters outside the cave were startled and attacked Mao Tai without thinking.
Mao was too impatient. He roared angrily, swung his staff, and with one strike, he knocked away more than a dozen martial arts monks outside the cave.
But this obstruction stopped him from entering the cave.
Master Zhenyan arrived in time, made the "Aquarius Seal" with his hands, and poured out his true energy like a pillar, breaking through the air and blasting towards Mao Tai.
An ordinary martial monk master would be no match for Mao Tai, but Master Zhenyan, as the contemporary guardian of the mountain gate, has unfathomable cultivation, comparable to that of a grandmaster. Even Mao Tai did not dare to be careless when he was hit by the "Aquarius Seal" of Zhenyan's magic seal. He paused, turned around and punched out.
Bang!
Amid a deafening explosion, the Qi column shot out by the True Words Mage was shattered by Mao Tai's punch. Mao Tai's huge body only swayed slightly, and the True Words Mage flew backwards, obviously inferior to him.
At this time, the four great monks and Zen Master Liaokong had also arrived and they all used their unique skills to attack Mao Tai.
Master Zhenyan also took a breath of energy and attacked again. Dozens of monks and lay masters swarmed in from behind.
Mao Tai's face twitched, he took off his sword, and threw it away with the scabbard.
This throw was so powerful and heavy that it made a sound like thunder breaking through the air.
While Master Lekong and the four holy monks were trying to resolve the attack, Mao Tai no longer wanted to give up his sword and turned around and rushed into the cave.
By the time Master Kong Chan and the others had taken the sword, Mao Tai had already gone into the cave. The six great monks looked at each other and followed without hesitation.
Afterwards, many monks and lay masters who came quickly also followed into the cave.
The martial artists who had come to watch the "Battle of Grand Masters" stopped at the entrance of the cave one after another and watched in amazement.
"There is a cave here? Why hasn't it been discovered before? Is there anything strange inside?"
"The six eminent monks and the Buddhist martial arts masters have all gone in. Even if there is something strange, what's the big deal? Even if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up."
"That's right. This cave is located on top of the giant Buddha statue, and this giant Buddha statue is suspected to be a manifestation of the Buddha... There might be treasures in the cave!"
"That makes sense! Hurry up and get in, it might be too late!"
Without hesitation, everyone swarmed into the cave.
The man in red robe and the two old men also arrived at the cave shortly afterwards. They stood silently at the entrance for a while and then walked in.
After a while, a tall, slender, graceful woman in white with a heavy veil covering her face also came to the front of the cave. After a moment's hesitation, she also walked in.
Just like this, in just less than , starting with Ni Kun and his three companions and ending with the woman in white, a total of two or three hundred people entered the cave one after another.
