Chapter 144 Uninvited Guest

The stupa has a rounded top in the middle and a square base below. The round belly part in the middle is hollow and has square holes. Lin Tian walked along and saw something inside, wrapped in bright yellow silk. He thought it belonged to the eminent monk.

Ashes and relics.

Almost all the buildings in the Tallinn are of this architectural style, except for the eight-sided seven-story tower at the top. It is also made of ancient blue bricks. The eight-sided tower is built on a solid rock platform. Lin Tian walked along the bluestone steps.

Go up and come to the tower.

There is a marble stele in front of the tower. Judging from the material, it should be erected in contemporary times. The stone stele is also engraved with simplified Chinese characters. Tianma Mountain is also a scenic spot, so it is not surprising that there is an introduction on the stone stele.

"Lin Tian, ​​the text on the stone tablet seems to introduce this tower." Xiao Manxuan followed Lin Tian silently. She was a little nervous when she saw the numerous stupas at night. When she saw the stone tablet, she bent down and took a closer look in the moonlight.

Lin Tian also quickly read the words on the stone tablet.

Tianma Mountain was called Ganshan in ancient times. Legend has it that the sword-making master of the Wu Kingdom, Qianjiang, got his name here when he made swords in the Spring and Autumn Period. The pagoda was built on the sword-making platform, hence the name Baojian Pagoda. Later, Fanyin Temple chose this place to build a temple, and the back mountain was also named

It was listed as the Relic Pagoda Forest, but the eminent monk felt that the name Baoguang Pagoda was too evil, so he changed its name to Baoguang Pagoda.

Baoguang Pagoda is more than 20 meters high, with seven levels and eight sides in total. It stands tall and handsome on the top of the mountain.

There were some words describing how good Baoguang Pagoda was, but Lin Tian didn't read any more. He turned to look at the door of Baoguang Pagoda. There was a plaque with a name on it, and there were couplets on both sides: Sitting and reading about the Five Emperors and Four Dynasties, you can't feel the vicissitudes of life.

, after enduring nine hardships and ten hardships, I realized that things in the world are impermanent.

Lin Tian had read these two sentences when he was reading. They were a legendary monk's self-portrait. Compared with the ancient pagoda body, this plaque and couplet looked new. It was probably only a dozen years since it was hung.

"Go in." Lin Tian took Xiao Manxuan's hand again and walked into the tower. It was not dark inside the tower because there were oil lamps on the walls of the stairs, and the wicks of many oil lamps gave off yellow light, making it bright.

There is a spiral staircase inside the tower, which is also made of blue bricks. The stairs were swept to be spotless. At a height of more than 20 meters, Lin Tian and the two quickly climbed to the seventh and last floor.

There was a room here, but the door was not locked. Lin Tian reached out and was about to open the door when he heard a slight sound.

"Lin Tian, ​​did you hear it? There was a noise in the house!" Xiao Manxuan was startled and couldn't help but hug Lin Tian's arm tightly.

"Don't be afraid. Listen carefully. What does this sound sound like?" Lin Tian patted her back and comforted her.

"It's like" Xiao Manxuan closed her eyes and listened attentively. The sound was strange and intermittent. After hearing it, she would suddenly open her eyes and say in surprise: "It's the sound of the piano, to be precise, it's the sound of the guqin."

Xiao Manxuan liked music and was very accomplished. Lin Tian had met her once at the Night Rose Bar. At that time, he suspected that she had been learning music since she was born.

Therefore, when she heard the music of the piano, her originally nervous mood became lighter. Xiao Manxuan couldn't wait to push the door open. After the door was pushed open, a burst of dust suddenly scattered, making her cough. Lin Tian reached out and fanned hard, stirring up a gust of wind.

Blow the dust away.

"The entire tower has been swept clean, why is there so much dust here?" Xiao Manxuan asked doubtfully, but did not dare to go in.

"Don't be afraid, I'm still here." Lin Tian took her hand and walked into the room. There was no light in the room, but there were windows on all sides, and the bright moonlight came in, so the room was not dark.

It's just that the room is too weird, there is dust everywhere, and there are even cobwebs. Why don't those monks clean this room as well when they clean it? Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan just stepped in and there were a few footprints.

The room was very simple, with only a wooden table, so Lin Tian saw what Lao He was talking about at a glance, which should be the objects placed on the wooden table.

"Lin Tian, ​​it's really a guqin!" Xiao Manxuan took off Lin Tian's hand and ran over, saying with great surprise.

He also saw it, but why did the guqin make a sound just now? Xiao Manxuan obviously had the same question. She bent down and looked up, down, left, and right but couldn't see any problem.

Just when Lin Tian was about to classify it as a supernatural incident, a gentle breeze blew in from the window and blew over the guqin. The strings on the guqin vibrated slightly, and then the sound of the guqin came out.

"So that's it. I thought I saw a ghost." Lin Tian was finally relieved, but he saw that there was so much dust here. The window should be closed at ordinary times, but why was it opened tonight? Is it really like this?

What did the old Zen Master say was fate?

Xiao Manxuan didn't think as much as he thought. She pouted and gently blew the dust off the guqin, and then a complete antique qin appeared in front of the two of them.

"The shape of this guqin is Shennong style, made of sycamore wood. I don't know how long it is." Xiao Manxuan is not only proficient in Western pianos, but also familiar with Chinese guqin. She said softly: "The length of this guqin should be three feet.

Six inches and five, which symbolizes the three hundred and sixty-five degrees of the circumference of the sky. The lower part of the piano body is flat and the upper part is curved and protruding, symbolizing the heaven and earth, which should be consistent with the round sky and the earth."

She talked about the guqin so eloquently that Lin Tian was stunned. Is this still the slightly unruly young lady? Why does she look like a master of music?

"Master Xiao Manxuan, does that mean this guqin belongs to you?" Lin Tian joked with a smile.

"What master, am I that old?" Xiao Manxuan's pretty face turned red and she said coquettishly: "Bad guy, I want to play a song."

Playing the piano is like reciting poetry. When inspiration comes, you can't stop it. Lin Tian was about to nod and say yes, but suddenly heard some unusual sounds in his ears.

He looked through the tower and around the Tallinn, and sure enough he saw some uninvited guests.

"Friends who have come from afar, just show up when you are here, why hide your head and tail." The old Zen master outside the Tallin suddenly said, his voice was not loud, but it spread far away, and Lin Tian could hear it.

As soon as the old Zen master finished speaking, some people appeared in the distance. Five of them were wearing tight-fitting black clothes, and their heads were also wrapped in black cloth. Only their eyes were exposed, and they all had long-shaped things hanging on their waists.

This thing is very familiar to Lin Tian. You can often see it in Anti-Japanese War TV series. The Japanese sword, which evolved from the Chinese Tang sword, is actually from the island nation. Is it a ninja again?

There are also six men in suits and leather shoes. They are tall and European and American! They are dressed very formally. The strange thing is that the suits of these five people are not common styles. Instead, they look a bit like evening gowns with tails.
