Chapter: 6040

Moreover, the numerous renovations of Big Wild Goose Pagoda were all things that happened hundreds or thousands of years ago. People only saw the appearance of Big Wild Goose Pagoda after its fifth major renovation, which has been passed down until today, and no one knew what it looked like initially. So Ye Chen was able to have a sense of familiarity yet uncertainty.

Ye Chen couldn't help but mutter to himself: "So, the high monk I just saw is actually Tang Monk, Xuanzang?"

As he thought this, the scenery already had a glimpse of the flourishing Chang'an city and arrived at a quiet Taoist temple situated in the southern part of Chang'an City outside.

From its geographical features, Ye Chen recognized that this was the northern foot of Zhongnan Mountain, while the gate of the temple with "Zongshengguan" inscribed on it immediately told him that this place was indeed the sacred land known as the First Sacred Land in the world and the birthplace of Taoism, Louguantai.

Louguantai is the birthplace of Taoism, where Laozi used to lecture and transmit the Daoist teachings. In the Tang Dynasty, Taoism was enthusiastically supported by Li Yuan, who named this place Zongshengguan.

At this moment, the scene showed a group of Taoist priests wearing blue robes, with long hair and braids, sitting cross-legged on a platform within the temple, punching hands in unison to form a harmonious and symmetrical pattern, exuding a profound sense of devotion and concentration.

Ye Chen immediately recognized that they were all master practitioners who possessed spiritual energy, and each hand sign they punched contained powerful spiritual energy as if they were collectively completing some grand formation together.

What's even more miraculous is that in front of these Taoist priests, a four-sided treasure tower made of pure gold was suspended in mid-air, slowly revolving.

This four-sided treasure tower was actually the one stored in the wooden box!

The hand signs punched by these Taoist priests all entered the treasure tower without exception, and as they continuously reinforced their spiritual energy and formations, the treasure tower also shone with golden light, radiating a brilliant glow that illuminated several dozen li away, coinciding with the distant Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

At this moment, the leading Taoist priest opened his mouth and said, "Wait until we complete our treasure array formation, and Tripitaka Master completes the building of the pagoda and imbues it with light. These two things complement each other and can ensure the prosperity of Great Tang for eight hundred years! All my fellow masters have devoted their entire lifetimes to this, and I reckon it's a debt we owe to our people in Great Tang!"

All the Taoist priests looked at each other with utmost sincerity and harmony, saying in unison, "We only wish for Great Tang's mountains to remain forever, its fortunes to flourish, and its people to live in peace!"

Lei Chen's heart was all the more astonished.

Unexpectedly, the four-sided treasure tower was what these Taoist priests had collectively collaborated on building.

Even more unexpected, this four-sided treasure tower built with the Taoists' blessings coincided with Tripitaka Master's construction of the Great Wild Goose Pagoda, which turned out to be a crucial national treasure for protecting Great Tang's mountains and society!

But he couldn't help but silently ponder: "If these two things are both sacred instruments created by high-ranking monks and masters, why did the Tang Dynasty fail to last for eight hundred years as those Taoists had said? In fact, its lifespan was even shorter than three hundred years."

Just when Lei Chen's mind was still full of doubts, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't recognized the Great Wild Goose Pagoda at first glance. It was because the pagoda had undergone several renovations since then, with some saying that during the Tang Dynasty alone, it had undergone three versions. Could it be that the changes and destruction had broken the harmonious layout between the Great Wild Goose Pagoda and the four-sided treasure tower?

As he pondered, the scenery before him began to fade away like a receding tide, his consciousness gradually returning to that towering pagoda.

But the pagoda didn't hold back his consciousness; instead, it pushed his consciousness out of the door and then closed it tightly. The entire pagoda slowly collapsed into the ground, and everything around returned to its original chaotic state!

Lei Chen hadn't noticed that as the pagoda collapsed into the ground, a strand of consciousness was left behind, which directly merged with his own strand of consciousness without him knowing, becoming one with his consciousness...

As soon as his consciousness returned to his body, Lei Chen also regained his senses in an instant.

Although the sensation of his consciousness leaving his body had been extremely prolonged, it seemed to be just a moment's pause in reality.

After being startled, Lei Chen didn't have time to think much before taking out the wooden box and, after confirming that there was nothing else in the secret compartment, immediately put the stone lion back into place, covering it securely with the secret compartment again.

At this moment, the Zhōu family's estate was still a flurry of activity.

Subsequently, he quickly turned around and jumped onto the floor, jumping into the room through the window where Hank was located with three people. JrNovels.com
