Mo Gusheng.

In Da Chu, it can definitely be regarded as the existence of peach and plum all over the world.

Since he emerged forty years ago, the experience of this Confucian and Taoist sage is legendary, and many of them are still talked about by the people of Emperor Chu.

According to Wei Lai's imagination, a great sage of Confucianism and Taoism who has been famous for a long time should be an old pedant with kind eyebrows and white hair. But in fact, although this Mo Gusheng senior, although he is indeed full of white hair, whether it is his knife-like face or the murderous aura exuded from his body, it is completely different from the image imagined by Wei Lai.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is visiting, and the old man should have welcomed him from afar, but he is old and sick, and he still looks at the eldest princess Haihan. As soon as they met, the old man arched his hand towards Li Chenghuang and said sincerely.

It is not easy to see Mo Gusheng, because of the abnormal state of his body, this great Confucian has closed the dead.

And the so-called dead pass is not something that can be compared to a retreat in the ordinary sense.

There are only two situations in which monks in this world choose to close themselves to death.

First, Shouyuan is about to end, hoping to break through the seven gates and ascend to the holy realm.

The second is that he is seriously injured, and if he does not heal, he will die.

In the final analysis, whether it is the former or the latter, they are faced with the dilemma of becoming benevolent if they do not succeed, so they will close into a dead end. For the monks of the Northern Realm, the Eight Gates Great Sage is almost the highest point that they can reach for cultivation, although the matter of the Nine Gates exists, it is too illusory, and no one will close the death pass in order to open the Nine Gates, and Mo Gusheng, as the Eight Gates Great Sage, chose the death pass, obviously because the movement of the heart demon has shaken his foundation.

It is precisely because of this that even Zhao Tianyan, who is his disciple, wants to meet him, it is even more difficult, not to mention Wei Lai, an outsider who is already notorious in Dachu.

As a last resort, Wei Lai could only turn to Li Chenghuang for help. Li Chenghuang, who had just returned from visiting the dean of the Boundless Academy, agreed to Wei Lai's request without thinking about it.

Then he took Wei Lai and his party to Mo Gusheng's retreat, at the beginning of the period, after Zhao Tianyan stepped forward to explain his intentions, even if he knew that the other party was Mo Gusheng's personal disciple, the disciple in charge of guarding still had a tough attitude to expel Wei Lai and others, until Li Chenghuang came forward, the other party's attitude changed three hundred and sixty degrees in a short period of time, and after using the decree to inform Mo Gusheng, and after getting Mo Gusheng's consent, he respectfully invited everyone into Mo Gusheng's retreat.

"Mr. Mo closed the dead pass, I think there must be a last resort, it is Chenghuang who is disturbing, and I ask my seniors to forgive me. Li Chenghuang respectfully returned the salute to Mo Gusheng, with a respectful attitude, and took the etiquette of a princess of the upper dynasty decently, which can be described as two people who are as rude and willful as Wei Lai's memory.

When Mo Gusheng heard this, he shook his head and smiled: "There is a way that people know the destiny of heaven for more than half of the time, and they don't hide it from Her Royal Highness the Princess, the old decay has already reached the point where the oil is exhausted, and the reason why she is still breathing is still lingering, but she is a little unwilling, if the princess does not come today, the old decay will come out of the customs in a few days, after all, it is better to do something with a little strength than to die in this dead pass, so Her Royal Highness the eldest princess does not have to blame herself at all." ”

Mo Gusheng said this, and turned his head to look at Zhao Tianyan and Ning Xin who were standing on the side.

Although the two of them had some understanding of their master's situation from the beginning, they still couldn't help but be shocked when they heard each other say such words, and their faces were sad.

"How is the matter handled by Zhou Xuan?" Mo Gusheng could naturally see what his two apprentices were thinking, but he didn't dwell on that topic, and asked about it instead.

Zhao Tianyan was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly stepped forward and brought all of them together. But perhaps because he thought about the friendship between his master and Zhou Buming, when he mentioned that Zhou Xuan stole the Great Sage Seal and colluded with Zhang Miao to threaten him, the wording was extremely euphemistic, only saying that there was a slight misunderstanding in it.

But Mo Gusheng has lived at this age, and he has long been a person-like character, how could he not understand his futile thoughts, and probably guess the truth of the matter from his attitude. He sighed and said: "Brother Zhou is frank, but maybe he is busy with official business, or because he is old and has children, after all, he is negligent in disciplining Xuan'er, you have nothing wrong with this, and you don't need to blame yourself, I will deal with all kinds of things later." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Tianyan hurriedly said: "Master's top priority is to recuperate in peace, and it is not too late to worry about the rest of the things after Shizun recovers." ”

Mo Gusheng waved his hand when he heard this, and said, "Tianyan, on the first day you started, what was the first sentence that the teacher taught you?"

Zhao Tianyan replied respectfully: "Introspection is clear." ”

"I didn't forget. Mo Gusheng said: "People have to know themselves, if they don't know themselves, they will make mistakes, my illness can't be cured, and if I stay, it's just a waste of my time, do you want to let the last bit of life as a teacher be wasted in these rooms of a few zhang?"

Zhao Tianyan heard the frustration in Mo Gusheng's tone, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Master, don't be sorry for yourself, the apprentice came today to find a way for the master!"

Zhao Tianyan said this, turned his body sideways, and then pointed to Wei Lai and Xu Yue behind him and said: "Master, this is Ah Lai, the old friend I often mention to you! This is Xu Yue, the palace master of the Dust Cutting Palace, Miss Xu." ”

Mo Gusheng noticed the two people in the crowd early in the morning, and he could see the extraordinaryness of these two people at a glance with his vision. At this moment, after listening to the introduction of his apprentice, his face showed a sudden look.

"It turned out to be His Royal Highness the King of Wei in Ningzhou and the young palace master of the Dust Cutting Palace, and the two famous old men had already heard of it. Mo Gusheng was far above Wei Lai and Xu Yue in terms of seniority and cultivation, but he bowed his hand to the two of them with a kind attitude, without the slightest arrogance of relying on the old and selling the old.

Wei Lai and Xu Yue also hurriedly returned the salute to the old man, and then Wei Lai said: "Disturbing the cultivation of the seniors, the juniors are really guilty, but the juniors and Brother Zhao are old friends, and they have learned about the situation of the seniors from Brother Zhao, and they are worried. ”

"It just so happens that the younger generation's insider's practice of cutting dust has a miraculous effect on the inner demons, so he dares to disturb his predecessors, trying to see if he can help his predecessors. ”

When Wei Lai's words came out, Mo Gusheng, who had lived for more than sixty years, couldn't help but be stunned, and he blinked his eyes for a while before he was sure that he had not misheard what Wei Lai said.

The Dust Chopping Divine Palace, one of the seven great divine palaces of Guiyuan Palace, is still a place full of mystery for even the eight great sages like Mo Gusheng.

His rise has only been a matter of thirty or forty years, and yet he is tremblingly powerful

, and the name Meng Hangju once became an existence that made these Eight Great Sages extremely fearful.

As for Xu Yue, a year ago, almost no one in the entire northern realm heard her name, and when she appeared, she had already sat on the throne of the palace master of the Dust Chopping Palace, and there were many people in the northern realm who were secretly curious about what kind of genius this Xu Yue was, so that Meng Hangju could rest assured that the position of the palace master of the Dust Chopping Palace would be handed over to her.

Xu Yue, like the Dust Chopping Palace, is a mysterious existence for everyone in the north.

But Mo Gusheng still knows some things about the Dust Cutting Palace, in a sense, the practice of Dust Cutting has many similarities with the Buddha Kingdom in the West, at least for both, the love between men and women is a taboo.

But His Royal Highness the King of Wei called Xu Yue an insider.

And what surprised Mo Gusheng even more was that although the trusted palace master of the Dust Cutting Palace did not frown, he did not say anything to refute it.

Mo Gusheng's heart was surging, but fortunately, he had seen the wind and rain after all, and it took a few breaths to suppress the surprise in his heart, and then looked at Xu Yue quietly and said: "The old man has also heard such a saying, saying that the dust cutting palace has thoroughly studied the method of cause and effect, and most of the demons in the heart arise from karma, so the method of cutting dust may have a miraculous effect in fighting the demons in the heart......"

"It's just that the girl's master, Meng Hangju, rarely walks in the world, even if the dean of Boundless Academy comes forward, he doesn't ask to see him, but he doesn't want to be so lucky, so he let Mr. Meng's senior apprentice come to the door in person. ”

Xu Yue's face calmed down when he heard this: "Due to the limitations of the Dust Cutting Palace's method, I have never been willing to take more cause and effect, and the master is even more dedicated to the Tao, and I also hope to the predecessor Haihan." ”

"Where can it be said that it is Haihan, that Mr. Meng has nothing to do with me, it is naturally a great kindness to be able to save me, if you can't save or don't want to save it, that's also a reasonable thing, what's wrong?" Mo Gusheng smiled and waved his hand, looking at his sincere demeanor, these words seemed to be sincere, not because Xu Yue was present and said high-sounding words.

When Wei Lai heard this, he was silent on the surface, but in his heart, he couldn't help but secretly sigh that this Confucian and Taoist sage was quite a bit of an expert, and he couldn't help but feel a little good in his heart.

"Mr. Gao Yi. But Xu Yue didn't have so many thoughts, she just arched her hand towards the other party and went straight to the point: "Please also ask Mr. and me to say what is the demon in the heart, and in the future, it is better to use the method of yin and yang as Mr. to gain insight into the root of the demon." ”

The birth of inner demons arises from the heart of the monk, and its root is nothing more than guilt and fear.

And such a thing cannot be eliminated by external forces, and the method of cutting the dust palace also does not have such ability, but the yin and yang heaven attached to the method of cutting the dust can gain insight into cause and effect, so as to find the root of the inner demon, as long as the origin of the inner demon is found, the right medicine can be prescribed, thus greatly improving the monk's chance of fighting the inner demon.

These are all conclusions that Meng Hangju came to after exploring the root of the demons for some elders in Guiyuan Palace who were infested by the demons in the Guiyuan Palace.

It stands to reason that with Xu Yue's help, Mo Gusheng should be a lot more optimistic about his situation, but after hearing this, Mo Gusheng shook his head with a wry smile, he looked at Xu Yue, and said, "I'm afraid that my inner demon is not something that Miss Xu can help solve." ”
