Five miles away from the southwest of the county seat of Qixian County, there is a soil bag, the locals call it Zhenlong Mountain, there is no grass on it, but there is a pagoda alone, called Zhenlong Tower.

As for whether the tower was named Zhenlong because of the name of the mountain, or whether the mountain was named Zhenlong because of the name of the tower, it is unknown.

At this moment, a monk and a woman are sitting on the eaves at the top of the tower, the woman is feasting on the meat buns and seven packaged dishes made of carp, while the monk stands at the end of the cornice, looking at the distant chariots and horses raising up a burst of dust, and the corners of his mouth show a smile.

A Taoist priest swayed down from the sky, fluttering lightly at the end of another cornice, "Monk, you spent so much effort and Zhou Zhang to get him from that world, is it really worth it?"

The smile on the corner of the monk's mouth did not change, but he simply said a sentence that made the Taoist priest almost vomit blood, "Is it worth it?"

When the Taoist priest heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, hehe hehe twice, raised his clenched fist and was about to smash it on the monk's bald head, Xin Yu pressed his emotions in time, and then slowly put down his fist again, "I don't know? You don't know if it's worth it for you to bring me here, and you are to show that kid how to cut three corpses and sometimes teach him two cheats, really when my idle egg hurts and has nothing to do?"

The monk was noncommittal, but took out a pot of wine from his bosom and threw it to the Taoist priest, which was packed from the shop where Wang Ji had meat and steamed buns.

The Taoist priest took the flask, took two sips, sat down on another cornice next to the monk Kongwei, took a deep breath, rubbed his cheeks, and stabilized his mood again.

"Senior brother, you are the smartest of our brothers, I know you have your reasons for doing this, but I really can't figure it out, you have so many eras and so many people to choose from, why did you choose him? I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out!"

The Taoist priest scratched his head, and his already gray hair was scratched off a few more times, obviously unable to figure out the reason why Kong did this for the monk.

After that, I took two more sips of wine into my throat!

The monk was silent for a long time, and after taking two sips of wine, he found that the wine in the pot had been drunk, so he beckoned to the Taoist priest and motioned for the Taoist priest to give him his wine jug.

The Taoist priest covered his wine jug with both hands, for fear of being snatched away by the monk, "Don't, what you gave out, there is still a reason to go back? Senior brother, you are a monk, even if the eight major precepts are broken all over again, you don't understand this basic human feelings? I really don't know where you have gone in this meditation!"

When the monk saw that the Taoist priest didn't give it, he also gave up and sighed, "Senior brother, his name is Zhong Yebai!"

The Taoist priest almost vomited blood again, and the yin and yang qi turned to the empty and said to the monk, "How can you call Zhong Yebai? Is it difficult to get him because his name is good? If this is the case, why don't you get his parents, his name was taken by his parents!"

The monk looked up at the sky, the sunset gradually set, and a red glow was smeared, which was reflected on the monk's three-dimensional face, showing a little smile, but it seemed to be a smile.

"Night white, the night is bright, the world is white! Isn't this a good meaning?" said the monk Kongwei slowly.

The Taoist priest obviously didn't believe this reason, if he really believed the answer given by the monk, the Taoist priest would really have cultivated to the belly of a dog after so many years of practice!

Monk Kongwei had already expected that the Taoist priest was not satisfied with his answer, and then asked a question that seemed mysterious and mysterious, this question seemed to be extremely simple, but it seemed to be unfathomable.

"Senior brother, you say, is it easy to kill people or save people?"

The Taoist priest opened his mouth to answer, but only then did he open his mouth to say the word "killing", but he immediately paused, and after thinking that it was impossible for his smart junior brother to ask such a naïve question, he scratched off a few gray hairs again, and finally did not answer positively, this time the Taoist priest answered smartly, of course, it may be that he had suffered many losses from the monk before, so he directly asked the monk in a cunning way.

"What do you think, junior brother?"

The monk looked at the convoy that was raising dust in the distance and gradually moving away, and said thoughtfully, "When I first learned Taoism, I thought that it was difficult to kill people, and there were more strong players among the strong, who dared to say that it was easy to kill people, as long as one was not careful, it would be a mistake and a thousand years of hatred, and I didn't know how to die." As for saving people, the deeds of those who seek fame and fame!"

"But later, my cultivation is not what it used to be, looking around the universe, there are very few people who can compare with our senior brothers, killing one person in ten steps, and not leaving a line for a thousand miles, why not be happy! Killing people is not enough, why is it difficult? As for saving people, why should I save people?"

The monk sighed and continued, "Until...... After all, I still didn't save Bu Yi, no matter how great my ability is, even if I kill all the people in the world, I won't be able to get her back! It's hard to save people, and it's even harder to save the people you want to save!"

At this time, the empty monk's smiling expression looked a little terrifying under the reflection of the setting sun.

The next moment, a trace of murder flashed in the eyes of the empty monk, but it was fleeting, and no one noticed it, even Peng Daoren, who was sitting on the top of the eaves next to the empty monk, did not notice it.

"But in the era of the wilderness, the most difficult thing is not to kill people, nor to save people, the most difficult thing is that people's hearts are unpredictable!"

Speaking of this, the Taoist priest seemed to understand what the monk Kongwei was talking about, patted his head, and immediately added, "I know, you are interested in this Zhong Yebai's pure heart, even if he is a person who has never met and met in Pingshui, he is willing to risk his life to save it! ”

But then the Taoist priest found that the reason he put forward did not seem to be so sufficient, and after scratching off a few remaining gray hairs again, he muttered to the monk, "No, this is not right, in the long river of history, there are not a few people who are willing to sacrifice themselves to save people, and have a pure heart, why did you choose him?"

Finally, the Taoist priest said to the monk, "Well, you must have another reason!"

The monk poured the wine jug that had long been out of wine, and controlled it a few more times, and finally reluctantly threw the wine jug down the tower, "Senior brother, the era of the end of the law can end, the demon race lives in a corner, and the human race can survive in the era of Taihuang, it is entirely because of the inheritance of Huaxia, and he is from Huaxia." ”

But this reason still failed to convince the Taoist priest, "There are also a lot of Junjie in Huaxia, why him?"

Monk Kongwei finally held up his chin, spread his hands, and said helplessly, "Every era has a handsome man of every era, if I get them all to our era, what will happen to them in that era?

The Taoist priest was like an initiation, and immediately figured out the reason, and he really admired the feeling that the junior brother was as smart as he was and was a senior brother.

But the next moment, the monk's request immediately made it difficult for the Taoist priest.

Kongwei monk said, "But he has just arrived, and he is completely unprepared for the dangers of this era, besides, if you want to put the mission of ending the wilderness on him, the burden on him is too great, in case he unfortunately dies, what I did before will be in vain!"

"So what?" the Taoist priest immediately felt a hint of foreboding.

The monk had a wicked smile on his face, but he stood up and bowed deeply to the Taoist priest. "So I also ask my senior brother to change his identity and go to the Chu Palace, firstly, to protect this newcomer, and secondly, when the time is appropriate, I can also give him some tips and teach him some skills, and it is not in vain that I worked hard to recruit him here is too wild!"

Hearing this, the Taoist priest was shocked, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't, junior brother, you should do this yourself! This kid has a pure heart, but it is also unambiguous to pit people, and that head is the truth of the Tao, and I sound like my brain hurts." I originally only promised you to teach him two scriptures, I thought that after he got the scriptures, he didn't say that he was grateful to me, and he should also have some respect, but I didn't expect that he not only accepted the scriptures, but also went to two snow toad pills from my pit, and in the future, I will not see this kid, and go to the Chu Palace, senior brother, I can't afford to lose this person, you should go to this matter yourself!"

Seeing this, the monk had to sigh secretly, but he also gave the Taoist priest an idea, "Okay! Senior brother said the same, you and I are both immortals, doing these little things will inevitably lose our identity, otherwise, don't you have a disciple in Shudi, known as the sword god, the ability is not weak, in those mortal piles, it should be no problem to protect that Zhong Ye Bai thoughtfully, or you go and ask your disciple to see if he is willing to do this for your master, and see if he can buy your master's face?"

As soon as the Taoist priest heard this, he immediately clapped his hands and applauded, patted his chest, and his momentum immediately rose, and he made a package ticket with confidence, "Hey!

When the monk heard this, he hid his face and smiled.

When the Taoist priest saw the monk's expression, he knew that he had suffered another loss from his wise junior brother, but the words had already been said here, how could he take them back, so he had to knock out his teeth and swallow them in his stomach.

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, the Taoist priest waved his hand to summon a cloud, and he was about to ride the wind away, "That old tree spirit has gone south, I will cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and then I will arrange my sword god apprentice!"

Who knew that the monk's next words made the Taoist priest lose his steps, "Senior brother, don't! That old tree spirit was able to escape, but it was thanks to the favor of the demon clan, with her ability, how could she slip away from you and me, I just let her live, and only then could I fish out the demon behind her in the future, and this matter, in the end, was left to Zhong Yebai to do, which was also a kind of experience. It's better for senior brother to leave this matter alone, I have my own arrangements, and I also ask senior brother to go and invite your sword god apprentice to go out of the mountain earlier, so as to protect Zhong Yebai and be thorough. ”

When the Taoist priest heard this, his collapsed face fell down a few points again, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned a light breeze and rode the wind to the southwest.

Seeing that the Taoist priest was no longer there, but the convoy of people and horses heading towards Xuandu City was still raising dust and smoke, the empty monk turned around and waved his hand to Buyi, "Don't eat, let's go!"

The original aura of Bu Yi was already extremely sluggish for some reason, and after listening to the monk of Kongwei, he slowly got up and jumped off the Zhenlong Tower behind the monk of Kongwei.

Monk Kongwei looked back again, saw that Bu Yi's face was covered with food residues and oil stains, his eyes were red, and he rolled up his sleeves with his hand to wipe Bu Yi's face clean, and then the murderous aura burst out, and he was so angry that he said to the sunset that was about to disappear in the west, "Master, you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, Bu Yi's revenge, I will avenge it sooner or later!"

As the sun sets, within a radius of ten miles from Zhenlong Mountain, countless birds and beasts are frightened, or fly out of the forest, or scurry in the grass, even the poultry raised in the nearby villages are crazy to hit the wall everywhere.

"Qixian Chronicles" has a record: "In the autumn of the first year of the Apocalypse, there is a vision in the sky, lightning and thunder, the torrential rain is not stopped, there seems to be an immortal tragedy, it is the night, the ground moves continuously, the original Lanruo Temple has trees that rise and break, the next day, the county seat is ten miles away, birds and beasts are shocked. There is Fang Shiyun, this is the image of the collapse of the sky, people hear it, worried, and move their families away from Qi County, one or two out of ten. ”
