Popularity?
The crackling sound of burning branches echoed in his ears, and Xu Yan's heart was in chaos. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The current situation is that his master came out, he wants to change, he wants to save his master, in addition to facing those Taoist priests who are too puritan, but also facing hundreds of people who have pinned their hopes on comforting the mountain gods.
Xu Daoyuan, who was already difficult to ride a tiger, mentioned an obscure word about people's hearts at this time, how could Xu Yan calm down and understand the ethereal and incomprehensible people's hearts, and even at a certain moment before the fire, the little Taoist priest had the mind of exploding the thunder beads and destroying everything around him.
It's just that this cold mind just appeared, and it was dispelled by the old Taoist's gentle speech.
"The world, all over the mysteries, there are martial artists who practice martial arts, there is a huge force to open the stele and crack the stone, there are Taoist cultivators, looking for the heart to fly to the sky, there are monks and Buddhas, wine and meat are not taboo, partial heart is like Bodhi, there is a great Confucian pen, draw a pair of mountains and rivers of Baise, attract fish and birds to vote, more foreign ferocious, Ru Mao drinks blood, and is invincible when he steps on the iron horse, and there are strange people who scatter beans into soldiers, calling for wind and rain......"
In the face of the flames, what Xu Daoyuan said seemed to have nothing to do with people's hearts, but it was like pushing open the door to a magnificent world.
"There was once a martial artist, who made a living by swords, crisscrossed the martial arts world of the whole country, and it was difficult to meet opponents, until he cultivated into the realm of the grandmaster, and later he found that the peak of martial arts was far from the end, so he traveled all over the country, visited strange people, and finally, he found a practitioner's method. ā
The old Taoist priest who turned to tell the story, facing the sea of fire, still straightened his back, and said slowly: "That is a set of evil methods, he thinks that the heart and sword are one, and he is not afraid of external forces, after practicing, the skill is even more a thousand miles a day, the sword is like a rainbow, no one is matched, some people are afraid of his sword, calling it a sword demon, but unfortunately, he did not see the farther sky after all, and the unity of the heart and sword is just wishful thinking." ā
The figure of the old Taoist priest was a little rickety, coughed for a long time, and then continued: "The evil way method becomes the master quickly, and if it is not against the heart demon, it will sink into a lifetime, and finally be counterattacked, the sword demon finally went crazy one night, lost his mind, and the nineteen members of the family were slaughtered by him, and after he woke up, he was full of remorse, broke the long sword, and abandoned his cultivation, and since then he has fled far away, his name is called Xu Shan......"
The sad story makes people empathize with it, but Xu Yan heard a strong sense of remorse from the master's whispers.
"Disciple, remember, the sword has two edges, hurting others and hurting yourself, so for the teacher, I took the word stop the sword for you, which means that good is in the heart, and evil is in the sword. ā
Xu Daoyuan patted the thin shoulder of the apprentice, and said with a smile: "The sword is like the human heart, the human heart is like a ghost, in everyone's heart, there is actually a devil living in the heart, some people let the devil run wild, so the life is ruined, some people imprison the devil for life, so nothing can be done, what you have to learn is to control the devil, not to be controlled by the devil." ā
Xu Yan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the old Taoist priest.
"The teacher knows that there is still a pig living in your heart, haha. The rare old Taoist priest who told the joke finally glanced at the apprentice lovingly, strode away, and said freely: "If you really want to become a pig, let that pig eat all the tigers in the world!"
The hand that reached out wanted to grab the master's robe, Xu Yan grabbed it in the air, and he watched the master's figure walk towards the road full of flames.
"The world only knows that death is severe, and it is divided into Taishan feathers, but they don't know that exchanging the lives of two dolls for a dying body is a big bargain, haha, no compensation, no compensation!" The old Taoist priest who walked into the sea of fire still talked and laughed.
"Master!!"
The little Taoist priest with tears in his eyes saw the impermanence of waiting for a long time on both sides of the sea of fire, he knew that today was the master's limit, instead of sitting in Chengyunguan, it was better to send the two children to death, maybe to the point where Xu Daoyuan was coming, Xu Yan would also think that this was a big bargain.
The sadness in his heart melted with a hint of relief, Xu Yan shook off the tears in his eyes, looked at the old Taoist priest who was about to disappear into the fire, and asked loudly: "Master!
"Yes, the word is far away......"
The last whisper of the old Taoist priest was gradually engulfed by the flames that ignited, and what remained in Xu Yan's heart was only a name that had once made all martial arts powerhouses in the north and south of the river feel fearful.
Sword Demon Xu Shan, Xu Daoyuan!
Like Xu Yan's mistaken Dao number, Zhijian is actually Xu Yan's word, and the old Taoist's Dao name is just his word, his real name is Xu Shan, and the word Dao is far away.
Regarding the identity of the master, Xu Yan has always guessed from time to time over the years, because he knows very well that the master is definitely not an ordinary person, ordinary people will not teach him the extremely powerful flying stone kung fu, he has imagined that the master is a generation of high-rollers, and he has also imagined that the master is a strange person who retreats to the mountains and forests, but he did not expect that his master is just a sad person.
The flames in the square gradually extinguished, the ritual was finally completed, and the Taoist priests of the Taiqing Sect returned to Chengyun Temple with their harvest, and regarded the Taoist Temple as a station.
The first step has been successfully completed, and next, it is time to promote the doctrine and recruit disciples, this is the purpose of their coming to Linshan Town, as for some surrounding mountain towns, every once in a while, today's scene will be staged, as long as the people are bewitched, Tai Puritanism can develop even stronger, until it competes with the royal family.
The people had dispersed, and in the empty square, only the figure of the little Taoist priest remained, rummaging through the ashes for the remains of the master, and after wasting his strength for a long time, Xu Yan gathered some bone fragments, and then carefully wrapped them.
The bones can't see the sky, the master has no queen, but there is still his apprentice, Xu Yan decided to bury the master in the old tomb mountain, because it is more lively there.
There are many people buried, so that the master will not be lonely.
The sky is gradually getting dark, this ritual is just burning an old Taoist priest to death for the people of Linshan Town, and the people are still voluntary, and have nothing to do with others, the most important thing is that with Xu Daoyuan's prestige, he must be able to say some good things in front of the mountain god, as long as there is no catastrophe, they will be satisfied.
The people's wish is always very simple, just eat and sleep warmly, but Xu Yan's wish is not just to eat and sleep warmly.
In the backyard of Chengyunguan, the little Taoist priest sat outside the pigsty, looking at the brightly lit hall, listening to the laughter that came from time to time, and a trace of a smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The smile was a little weird, and it looked unusually cold.
"Xiao Hei, Master is gone, you say, will he be lonely?"
Purr, purr.
Regarding Xu Yan's self-talk, the little black pig always likes to cheer, and the long nose that sticks out of the fence twists vigorously, as if answering Xu Yan's question.
"I also think that Master will be lonely, so it is better to find someone to send him to his old man's home. Looking at the main hall, his eyes began to be full of coldness, and Xu Yan whispered: "Just let them go with the master!"
People's hearts are like ghosts, this Xu Daoyuan's last teaching, Xu Yan will benefit for a lifetime, but today, he decided to release the devil in his heart.
The sky at midnight is extraordinarily far away, under the starlight, outside the door of the main hall of Chengyunguan, two shadows gradually appeared, and at the same time as Xu Yan made a decision, the black and white impermanence figure quietly came......
