Chen Fan took the paper from Lin Pingzhi's hand and looked at the data written on it that the Leshan Giant Buddha had been growing in size in the past month, and he inevitably felt a sense of absurdity in his heart.
This is just a stone statue, but it actually grows and grows due to the great changes in the world?
If dead things are like this, what about humans and animals?
Will there be changes as the world changes?
Or is this just a special case? Only a few special places would experience such changes?
So besides the Leshan Giant Buddha, what else is changing in the world?
For a moment, Chen Fan deeply felt that Chen Mansion's intelligence system was too poor. After all, Chen Ye's abilities were limited. It was no problem for him to track one person, but it was far from enough for him to collect intelligence information from all over the country.
Thinking of this, Chen Fan couldn't help but think of Hongye and Bai Xiaosheng. These two people are very talented in information collection and their abilities are also very strong. If they can conquer one or two, it will be of great help to him. .
"Pingzhi, get ready. Let's go to the Leshan Giant Buddha up close later."
Chen Fan suddenly saw something written in the paper that there was a cave next to the Buddha statue that sounded like a roaring beast. This made Chen Fan feel a little strange in his heart, and he couldn't restrain his curiosity and ordered Lin Pingzhi.
"Sir, the Leshan Giant Buddha court attaches great importance to it now. There are officers and soldiers guarding the inner and outer layers of the bag day and night. This information is just a visual inspection from the outside. It may not be that easy to enter without being discovered."
Lin Pingzhi shook his head and replied.
"It's okay, you'll find it when you find it."
Chen Fan didn't care at all about the court's ban, so what if he found out? I can't go in and take a look at the Leshan Giant Buddha and then the court will want me again, right?
The charge is to break into a forbidden area? Contempt the court?
If the Leshan Giant Buddha really has some magical benefits because of the great changes in the world, if he doesn't take the initiative to fight for it, then he might really miss the opportunity.
Therefore, he had to take a closer look at the Leshan Giant Buddha, especially the cave.
If it's just a simple natural shape change, it's okay. If there is any chance, then I must get a piece of the pie.
The era of natural change has arrived, and no one knows what the future will be like. Chen Fan does not want to fall behind step by step and eventually lose everyone.
Hearing that Chen Fan didn't care about Lin Pingzhi at all, he didn't say anything anymore. Since he had decided, he would just follow.
So, after a short rest, Chen Fan and Lin Pingzhi set off.
As for Shui Sheng...her three-legged cat martial arts skills were nothing more than a burden, so Chen Fan left her in the temple.
Not far from the temple, Chen Fan saw many fellow practitioners standing in appropriate positions watching the changed Leshan Giant Buddha.
Soon, Chen Fan came to an excellent location and looked into the distance. In an instant, a tall, extraordinary and majestic Buddha statue came into view.
I saw the Leshan Giant Buddha sitting by the river, shoulder to shoulder on the top of the mountain, with its feet on the ground and hands touching its knees. The overall body of the Giant Buddha is well-proportioned, with smooth lines, solemn expression, and solemn majesty.
It’s so shocking that it’s hard to imagine that this marvelous Buddha was actually carved by humans.
Chen Fan had an excellent view. He saw the tall and towering Buddha, the cave where the beast's roar came from, and the officers and soldiers surrounding the Leshan Giant Buddha.
He saw them three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, densely packed. Chen Fan had a preliminary idea at a glance. There were nearly 5,000 officers and soldiers inside and outside.
In fact, Chen Fan has encountered many soldiers who set up interceptors along the way from Jingzhou, but those were on the road and were of little use to martial arts warriors like Chen Fan and others. Stop ordinary people.
However, the nearly five thousand officers and soldiers tightly packed in front of them made them feel like they could not get close.
After estimating the distance between the place where officers and soldiers were banned and the Leshan Giant Buddha, Chen Fan took Lin Pingzhi and walked towards the Leshan Giant Buddha.
Strangely, Chen Fan actually saw Linghu Chong and a young and beautiful woman here.
Judging from the intimacy between the two of them, as expected, this woman should be Ren Yingying, the holy aunt of the Sun and Moon God Sect.
I don’t know how Linghu Chong, the leader of the Hengshan Sect, could be so cool and free and still have time to go out and pick up girls.
After all, the time was wrong, so Chen Fan did not disturb Linghu Chong's leisurely elegance but continued walking in the direction of his goal.
Soon, the two saw the officers and soldiers surrounded by weapons and weapons.
Chen Fan glanced at Lin Pingzhi next to him, jumped up, and like a shadow in the wind, the two of them started running Qinggong and flew towards the Leshan Giant Buddha.
Although the outer layer of defense is considered tight, there are always some oversights in the vastness. Chen Fan and Lin Pingzhi can easily avoid it, but it is difficult to avoid it when they reach the inner layer. It is too tight and they have no choice but to force their way through.
"Bold, dare to break into the forbidden area, kill!"
The actions of Chen Fan and Lin Pingzhi quickly angered the officers and soldiers of the imperial court who were on guard here. A stern and ruthless voice sounded, and countless bows and arrows were immediately aimed at Chen Fan and Lin Pingzhi and shot out.
"The wind is raging!"
Chen Fan's eyes turned cold. He didn't expect that this group of officers and soldiers would be so sensitive to shoot them with bows and arrows, so he no longer had any scruples. He unsheathed his swords and chopped them down.
As for the charges after resisting the imperial court, he no longer cares about it.
A hurricane rose out of the sky, dust and sand were flying, and swords were everywhere.
The hurricane roared wildly, and all the arrows swept back with the wind, immediately bombarding the officers and soldiers in their own battle camp.
A huge arrow hit the ground and roared, followed by wailing, and a broad path was cleared in an instant.
The battle here quickly attracted the attention of countless people, including officers and soldiers on alert elsewhere and people outside looking at the Leshan Giant Buddha from a distance.
"Yingying, look, isn't that Chen Fan? How did he force his way in?"
Linghu Chong, who was highly skilled in martial arts and had excellent eyesight, immediately noticed Chen Fan who was in conflict with the officers and soldiers, so he quickly called out to Ren Yingying.
"It's Chen Fan."
Ren Yingying followed Linghu Chong's finger and immediately saw Chen Fan who was slashing someone. She replied affirmatively at first, then frowned and said doubtfully;
"Why did he break in like this? Is there some treasure inside that we don't know about?"
"Let's go and take a look."
Linghu Chong was so curious that his heart beat restlessly and he immediately pulled up Ren Yingying and headed towards the Leshan Giant Buddha.
At the same time, other people in the world also discovered the commotion at the Leshan Giant Buddha. When they saw that it was Chen Fan, the famous swordsman in the world, and Lin Ping, the blood-clothed Shura, there was a commotion, and they all rushed to the Leshan Giant Buddha.
Their idea is very simple. What the new generation of martial arts leaders can fight for must not be ordinary things. Even if they can't grab it, it will open their eyes.
Of course, it would be best if you get lucky...
....
With Tang Dao Gufeng opening the way, Chen Fan quickly passed through the layers of protection inside and got closer to the Leshan Giant Buddha. He didn't care about the continuous stream of officers and soldiers chasing after him. Chen Fan stepped forward and a swift shadow appeared. After a few dozen breaths, the wind and Lin Pingzhi arrived at the knees of the extremely tall Leshan Giant Buddha.
The Buddha's knees are very big, no less than three feet tall. Standing on it, you can obviously feel subtle vibrations. Obviously, these are the fluctuations of the "growth" of the Buddha statue.
"Let's go! Go to the cave where the roar of the beast is coming from."
After taking a close look at the still-growing Buddha, Chen Fan said to Lin Pingzhi beside him.
After raising their spirits and jumping up, within a few breaths, Chen Fan and Lin Pingzhi arrived in front of the cave that emitted bursts of beast roars.
At this time, there was already a team of officers and soldiers guarding the cave. Obviously, the imperial court attached great importance to this. When they saw Chen Fan and Lin Pingzhi arriving, they immediately came towards them with spears in hand.
Chen Fan showed no mercy, holding Tang Dao Gu Feng and killing them one after another with one strike.
After Chen Fan and Lin Pingzhi walked into the cave without any hindrance, countless mutilated limbs and corpses were left at the entrance of the cave, and the ground was covered with blood.
Not long after Chen Fan and Lin Pingzhi entered the cave, a group of officers and soldiers chasing after them surrounded them.
There were two leaders among the officers and soldiers, one was a sturdy man wearing armor, and the other was a middle-aged civil servant wearing a black gauze hat, a regimental collar shirt, and a belt around his waist.
Wearing armor is Sima Juncheng, the commander of the highest guard station in Sichuan and Sichuan who is responsible for the entire sealing of the Leshan Giant Buddha.
The middle-aged civil servant is the second-rank governor of Sichuan and Shu, Zheng Yi.
"Master Zheng, the people below did not do their job well and allowed those two gangsters to enter the cave. Do you think we should send troops in to encircle and suppress them or to surround them outside?"
Watching Chen Fan and the others pass through and kill all the way into the deep cave, the resolute and masculine General Ma, who was wearing armor, looked a little confused. He cautiously asked Shangguan Zheng Yi for advice on the next move.
"Hmph, the heroes use force to break the ban, and a group of lawless and lawless gangsters dare to break into the forbidden area and act recklessly.
Don't send troops in, just be the first to surround and kill them. General Ma, you immediately turn the siege crossbow over and aim it at the cave. As soon as you see anyone coming out, you will be the first to shoot and kill them.
I want to see if their martial arts can compete with the imperial court's heavy siege weapons. "
Zheng Yi looked at the bottomless cave with a gloomy expression. Thinking that the cave was small and the two thieves were highly skilled in martial arts, he snorted coldly and gave instructions to Ma Juncheng.
"Yes, sir."
When he heard that Zheng Yi did not blame but seriously arranged the matters, Ma Juncheng felt happy and immediately obeyed the order. With a wave of his hand, he called the messenger behind him to convey the order.
"By the way, Liu Xi, the eunuch of the East Factory, will be here soon. Remember, don't say anything nonsense."
The breeze blew slowly, and suddenly Zheng Yi looked at Ma Juncheng with a faint look and said something meaningful.
