Huan Ruoqing looked left and right, and said angrily: "There are five or six people here, you old man don't look for them, but you just find me, what do you mean?" The old man still spread his palms, and his mouth was just: "Come back, come back..."

Shen Xi saw that he was in his twilight years, and it was inconvenient to walk, so he chased for a few miles in order to find the sheep, and several blood strips were pulled out of his waist and legs by thorns, and he couldn't bear it, so he stepped forward and gave him a bag of broken silver, and said: "Uncle, the sheep were caught by me, and I killed them, this money is not much, and it is worth ten sheep if you think about it, you take it." ”

The old man said, "Ten sheep... If I lose two, I want two... I want sheep, what are you giving me money for?"

Shen Xi was stunned: "This..." Unexpectedly, the other party was so stubborn, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Huan Ruoqing said: "Shen Xi, you come." He beckoned to Shen Xi. Shen Xi gave the old man silver, but the old man didn't take it, so he had to put it in his arms and return to Huan Ruoqing. Ruoqing leaned into his ear and whispered a few words, but Shen Xi shook his head and refused after listening to half of it. Huan Yan also said on the side: "Ruoqing, don't mess around!"

Huan Ruoqing said: "Aunt also heard it?"

Huan Yan said: "This matter is your fault, you should apologize and apologize, how can you do such a shameless thing?" It turned out that Huan Ruoqing saw that the old man insisted on returning his sheep, so he had a plan to let Shen Xi go outside to lead two more, and use them as such, anyway, they are all the old man's sheep, and they all look similar, he can't tell the difference, so he will no longer mess around. Huan Yan is so conscious, as long as Ruoqing moves, even if she doesn't make a sound, she can still hear what she wants to say, and reprimand her.

Huan Ruoqing said: "Auntie, look, Shen Xi apologized and lost money, what can this old man do." Now let him dissipate his anger first, and when the anger is gone, it doesn't make sense to quietly stuff the money to him!"

Huan Yan said: "You kid, you have a bad idea, this old man is unconscious, he is already stupid, how can he still play tricks on others?"

Huan Ruoqing said in surprise: "He is stupid?" and looked at the old man unconsciously. The old man's eyes were bright, still stellar, not at all like the old age, but closer to fifty years old, but I don't know what happened, people became crazy and stupid, and there was no vicissitudes of life in the words that an older person should have.

Wang Tianbao kept looking at the old man, and suddenly said: "I have seen this person, and I remember his name, he should be called... Shen Dongqing!"

As soon as he heard Shen Dongqing's name, Shen Xi's ears exploded, this person has the same name as his biological father, and it was such a coincidence by chance?

I heard Wang Tianbao continue: "That should be seventeen or eighteen years ago, I rescued a few villagers in Dingjia Village, stayed for two days, during which I lectured and talked about the Tao, this person happened to come to listen, so I remember him..." He stepped forward slowly, saluted the old man, and asked, "Do you remember the old horseman?"

The old man glanced at Wang Tianbao a few times, and said loudly: "Who are you, I have never been out of this mountain." He shook his head and said: "I can't herd the sheep, but I lost two, and when I go back, I will inevitably be scolded by the master, how to be good, how to be good..."

Wang Tianbao was secretly surprised: "Could it be that this person is really crazy?"

Suddenly, Shen Xi slammed his palm, and the palm power was everywhere, and the mountains cracked and the forest was destroyed. He shouted, and hurried forward, and in the blink of an eye he was not behind the mountains.

Wang Tianbao sighed and said, "Why is there another crazy person?" Everyone didn't know why, so they had to follow, around the east, around the west, and within a few miles, they saw Shen Xi at the door of a temple.

Shen Xi knelt outside the door, Wang Tianbao shouted at him a few times, unmoved. Huan Ruoqing walked up and said, "Why are you kneeling?" Seeing Shen Xi's face, he couldn't help but scream. Wang Tianbao said: "What's wrong with him?" Ruoqing said: "I don't know, his face is so ugly..."Wang Tianbao tilted his head to look at Shen Xi, only to see that his eyes were blank, his face was red and white, his lips trembled, and he had bitten blood marks.

Huan Ruoqing said: "It seems that he has a grudge against the old man just now." Wang Tianbao said: "The hatred is not necessarily, you may know." At this time, Shen Xi turned his eyes and said blankly: "He is my father, my biological father!"

Huan Ruoqing's shout, Wang Tianbao, Qin Wuji, Ye Zhiqiu, and Huanyan were also stunned. Wang Tianbao said: "What kind of nerves does the stinky boy have, isn't your father Guigu?" Qin Wuji said: "The common family name of Guigu Tianzun is Xing, but it is not a surname. Ye Zhiqiu said: "Brother Wang said that the person's name is Shen Dongqing, and he belongs to the same surname Shen, could it be that this is the case?" Huan Yan said: "Back then, the Demon Lotus was a smoke-chasing ghost, and he slaughtered Dingjia Village, and this person was also poisoned by the blood of the Demon Lotus.

Huan Ruoqing said: "But he doesn't know Wang Daochang, maybe he looks like him, and his name is the same, but he is not the same person!"

Shen Xi bit his lower lip, suddenly bowed down, and said loudly: "Senior Shen Xi, kneel and beg the master of the Buddhist temple to see him!" After being silent for a long time, he bowed down and said: "Senior Shen Xi, kneel and beg the master of the Buddhist temple to see him!" Still without a response, he bowed down and bowed again, still shouting like this. Worship seventeen times, the temple squeaked and opened, out of the two white-eyed hanging beard monks, hands folded, chanted: "Amitabha, the donor please, the temple belongs to the Buddha, not subject to anyone to bow down, the donor's number of rituals is deducted for the people inside, the eighteenth worship, the temple can not afford it." ”

Shen Xi saw that the temple door was open, and he was overjoyed to get up and rush in. The two eminent monks each had a palm, blocking him in front of him. With Shen Xi's current ability, it is extremely easy to break in, but the two senior monks have a calm demeanor and a graceful bearing, so they don't need to be really angry, and they naturally give birth to a sacred and inviolable momentum, how dare Shen Xi be presumptuous.

The withered monk on the left proclaimed the Buddha's name and asked, "Who is the Lord going to see?" Shen Xi said: "My father... He's in there!" The monk on the right said, "Who is your father?" Shen Xi said: "It's the person who herded the sheep just now, his name is Shen Dongqing." The two monks glanced at each other, and the thin monk said: "That person's tomb does have this name written on it, and the donor should not be mistaken, but you still can't see him." ”

Shen Xi was in a hurry, and his legs were about to kneel. The two monks supported him under his armpit at the same time, and they were both amazed. The thin monk said: "Shenwu Temple is not subject to the laity to bow down, and the donor is not an ordinary person, let alone kneeling." The monk on the right said: "It's not that we want to stop you, but the donor himself is blocking himself, in the eyes of the donor, Shen Jushi is your father, but in the eyes of Buddhism, you have nothing to do with him for a long time." ”

Shen Xi said: "Please enlighten the monks." The thin monk said: "Before that, can the donor have the patience to listen to the story of the year?" Shen Xi only knew that his father died at the hands of the Demon Lotus, and what happened next, I don't know in detail, as for seeing Shen Dongqing again today, it was even more strange, and he was shocked for a while, and he never calmed down and thought about it. ”

The thin monk smiled and said, "The donor knocked seventeen times before, and it was seventeen years ago, when Shen Jushi was injured by others and died, according to common sense, he couldn't live. The monk on the right continued: "When a person enters the grave, the dust returns to the earth, and it is precisely next to the tomb where he is buried, there are roots of the dust tree that have rotted for many years. The dust removal tree is the thing of the sun, and the blood poison hand is the palm of the yin and cold, and the two are combined, dissolving the poison that penetrates deep into his internal organs, and Shen Jushi also wakes up. ”

The emaciated monk said, "We passed by the village and heard the sound of the grave and rescued him. Thinking that this matter was unknown, and he was worried that the enemy who killed him would choose to return to the road, he brought Shen Jushi to this Shenwu Temple. Shen Jushi has an endless destiny, but he has lost all his memories because of this, and when he asks him if he has any relatives, he babbles, like a child who knows nothing in the world, and he can't even speak. The monk on the right said: "Indeed, amnesia is not uncommon, and it is the first time that people like this have lost their language memory." After using a lot of prescriptions, he was never able to evoke his memories, so when he exorcised the poison for his luck, he learned that his soul had already escaped into the dust, and now Shen Jushi was another person, and his soul was changed because of this. ”

Shen Xi muttered, "Another person, the soul of a person... How can it be changed?"

The thin monk said: "Shen Jushi was knocked down by the poisonous palm, and his soul has gone west, and when he wakes up again, his body is still there, and at this time, he is like an old body poured into the soul of a new life." Amitabha, a mere prescription for medicine, how can he recall his original memory. The monk on the right said: "Shen Jushi came to Shenwu Temple, everything was learned from scratch, ethics and daily life, literacy and painting, and a newly grown child is no different." To this day, the years have known their fate, but they are just insightful that cannot be bound, and I don't recognize you, which is precisely why. ”

Shen Xi shouted, "But... He's my father, what if you change your soul, you can't change your blood relationship..."

The thin monk said: "Once you convert to the Buddha, the four are empty, and the skin is just a temporary place to live, and after a few decades, you will eventually abandon it." The monk on the right said: "The donor doesn't have to be like this, everything has to be fate, we will invite Shen Jushi to see if he can recognize the donor, as long as you recognize, your father and son are reunited, wouldn't it be a great joy." If not, please let the donor go on the spot, but this world is divided!"

The two monks bowed together and then turned to the temple gate. After a while, he walked out of the door with the old man.

Shen Xi saw that the old man's eyes were wandering, and he only turned away after a flick on his body, hiding behind the two monks, and wanted to shout, but his throat was dry, as if he was dumb.

The thin monk said, "Miaozhi, have you seen this benefactor?" the old man nodded. Shen Xi was overjoyed, his fingers trembled nervously, and he kept rubbing on his clothes. The old man hurriedly shook his head and said, "This man has robbed me of my sheep and has not yet revealed it to the master." ”

The thin monk smiled and said: "If you haven't seen it, you have no dust, donors, please go back!"

His biological father was close at hand, but it seemed to be separated by an invisible barrier, as far away as the sky, Shen Xi was panicked and impatient, and couldn't help but rush up to catch the old man. The two monks turned around and slapped the pavement with their palms. Shen Xi blocked with one hand, and then unloaded the palm power of the two people, and was about to pull the old man back, when he heard Wang Tianbao shouting: "Stinky boy, stop it!"

Shen Xi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but let go of his fingers. The thin monk said: "The donor's cultivation is unfathomable, we can't fight each other, you want to take him back, dare to ask where you can go?" Shen Xi said: "I... I..."Another eminent monk said: "Whether it is blood or family affection, everything in the world is derived from illusion, and it will eventually fall into desolation, how can the donor not see it thoroughly." The two monks recited the sentence of Amitabha Buddha together, then returned to the temple, slammed the ground, and closed the temple door.

Shen Xi was stunned for a long time, confused for a while, and had no idea. Huan Ruoqing came to him and called Shen Xi. Shen Xi just muttered repeatedly: "Where do I take him, where do I take him, I... Where can I go myself?"

Huan Ruoqing said: "Let's go back to the ghost brake sect!" Shen Xi ignored him, and still said: "I can't go anywhere, I don't want to go anywhere, I don't want to go anywhere, I don't enter the temple gate, I will accompany him here to the end of his life." With that, he left straight and went into the woods. Huan Ruoqing stomped his feet and said secretly: "This stupid guy is brainless, a tendon!"

Huan Yan saw that there was a hint of hesitation on Ruoqing's face, and said with a smile: "You can go with him too, Shen Xi is in a difficult situation now, you are by your side, maybe you can enlighten him." Huan Ruoqing was overjoyed, said to take care of her aunt, and even called Shen Xi's name and went to him.

Wang Tianbao said: "What day is today, there are so many things happening, and it is so strange and bizarre, Lao Dao thinks he has a lot of knowledge, and he is also a little confused." Huan Yan sighed: "I don't know how many years this matter has been hidden in Shen Xi's heart, and today I finally untied the knot." Ye Zhiqiu said: "There are gains and losses, Shen Xi has gained the domain, but he has also lost a lot, which shows that no one can live a carefree life." Qin Wuji said: "It's best to be able to pass this hurdle, don't be like me back then, cover yourself with irreparable sins for your own grievances..."

Wang Tianbao smiled and said, "Qin Wuji, do you mean that you used Bliss to slaughter Gu Wumancheng?" Qin Wuji said: "Shen Xi is distressed for his father, but I am for a woman, a woman who gave birth to me... Hey, the person is already dead, why bother to mention the past, Brother Wang, Sect Master Huan, Lord Yecheng, get together today, I don't know when I can see you again, let's say goodbye!"

Ye Zhiqiu said: "You and I are just on the same road, Brother Wuji, we don't need the field, how about the strength of the race?" Qin Wuji said: "Brother Ye first, please!" Ye Zhiqiu said: "You mean Ye Mouxun you have three points?" Qin Wuji said: "Then we start at the same time, there is no need to let more." Ye Zhiqiu said: "Okay!" The two of them laughed, their bodies moved, their clothes fluttered, and they galloped out of thousands of feet in an instant.

Wang Tianbao said: "Huan Yan, there is not much left in the old way, there is still an important thing to do at the moment, but it is very interesting." Huan Yan said with a smile: "The real person has come and gone without a trace, where is he going this time?" Wang Tianbao said: "When the son of heaven personally went to the book in Dongzong, he asked the old man to go to the capital to preach, the son of heaven ruled the country well, and he still had to give face." Huan Yan said: "This is a major event that will be remembered for the ages, and it cannot be delayed." Wang Tianbao waved his hand and smiled: "What a big deal, let alone a name for eternity, if you go, you will play tricks and have fun." Huan Yan said: "Real people are free and easy, which is enviable." Wang Tianbao laughed and said: "You Huan Yan has the style of a sect leader, like me, you always feel that something is wrong when you are the head of the Eastern Sect, and you have wronged the people below." Laughing for a while, I regretted saying goodbye.

Huan Ruoqing saw that Shen Xi looked back every few steps, his eyes were blank, and his mind flew to the temple early, and he stopped with him. When the two arrived at the foot of the mountain, Shen Xi suddenly stretched out a palm, and the cedar tree next to him fell in response. Huan Ruoqing said: "Is there nowhere to vent your true anger, where did the tree provoke you?"

Shen Xi said: "Leave me alone, you go away." Huan Ruoqing said: "Okay." When he had gone away, he picked up a handful of stones and leaned against the tree, and threw them one by one at the ground.

Shen Xi looked up at the mountain, and only this one look, two hours passed. Huan Ruoqing was tired of playing by herself, leaning on the tree to rest, and when she woke up, she saw that Shen Xi was still looking up blankly, motionless, and thought: "This person is stupid and stupid, don't be sad because of this." Pacing lightly to him, he sat down on the floor.

Shen Xi said: "Why don't you leave?" Huan Ruoqing smiled: "Why should I leave, you have nowhere to go, I have nowhere to go, you stay for this day, I will stay for this day, you stay for ten years, then I will accompany you for ten years." ”

Shen Xi glanced at her, saw the smile on her face like a flower, and immediately turned her head. Huan Ruoqing said, "Why don't you dare to look at me?" Shen Xi gasped and did not answer. Huan Ruoqing said: "Are you afraid that I will hook your mind, so you don't have the strength to stay here?" Shen Xi said: "No..." Huan Ruoqing smiled: "The voice is so low, it must be, from childhood to adulthood, what are your thoughts, what are your plans, I know clearly, you want to see your father, go to Shenwu Temple to find him, what's the use of standing stupidly." ”

Shen Xi shook his head, and after a long time, he suddenly said, "Great Elder's medicine... It can really heal the scar on your face..."

Huan Ruoqing couldn't help but sneer when she saw him holding back such a sentence for a long time, and said with a smile: "Are you thinking about your father or me?"

Shen Xi's face turned red, and he said Wait for me, his figure suddenly rose, and he flew up the mountain. After a while, he came back again. Huan Ruoqing asked, "Did you see him?" Shen Xi shook his head and said, "I can't get in." Huan Ruoqing said: "The temple door is made of dark iron, you can't open it, and no one in the world can open it." ”

Shen Xi saw that she was laughing with herself from time to time, and the solemn atmosphere had eased somewhat, and she couldn't help but feel relieved, and sighed: "I knocked on the door a few times outside, but the two monks and my father didn't want me, so I didn't knock." Try it again tomorrow, as long as you can see your daddy, it's worth waiting as long as you want. Huan Ruoqing clapped her hands and said: "Yes, if it were me, I would definitely not be able to stand your three or two harassments, maybe the door will open one day, be patient." ”

The two slept on the fire at the foot of the mountain that night, and slept in their clothes. On the second day, Shen Xi came to the temple again, but he heard someone inside preaching, which seemed to be the voice of a withered monk. Shen Xi listened carefully for a while, and his fingers stayed on the door for a long time, but he never knocked on it. On the third and fourth days, I only listened to the monk change a scripture every day, obviously for his disciples, but in fact for himself. He listened to it for many days, and slightly understood some of the truths that Bodhi has no tree, dependent arising emptiness, colorlessness and aspect, and all appearances are false, so he did not enter the temple, and he felt like he was there.

On the twelfth day, Shen Xi came back from the temple and said to Huan Ruoqing: "Let's go." Ruoqing said in surprise: "Have you seen your father?" Shen Xi shook his head and said: "Seeing is not seeing, not seeing is seeing, what if you see it, what if you don't see it? He can't recall the past, it's the best result, if I take him away, it will make him suffer from reincarnation again." "Kneeling in the direction of Kannaji Temple, he kowtowed a few times. Huan Ruoqing also knelt down with him and bowed three times.

The two left Ling Jueding, and Shen Xi never looked back. Huan Ruoqing proposed to go to the south of the Yangtze River to enjoy it, Shen Xi readily agreed, turned east, and arrived in Chongju County in a day, seeing that the people in the city were safe and prosperous, and the farmers and merchants were prosperous, it was an unprecedented situation, Ruoqing smiled and said: "Aren't you a brother with the current emperor, your brother is very unusual, the East China Sea is so orderly, in terms of true qi cultivation, he may not have much ability, this ability to govern the world is stronger than anyone else!"

Shen Xi was also happy that Yin Huan had such a behavior, and the two walked through the city, listening all the way, they all praised the Son of Heaven, and there were lazy poets who wrote:

Winter goes to spring to Dongfu, and the pear head flower blooms and the tree blooms;

Set up a candle to be honored, which was originally a glorious welcome row;

On which day, the hair is tied up, and the lady is accompanied by a red crown;

Hold the wine high and laugh, and don't see the prime minister.

Shen Xi and Huan Ruoqing looked around, forgetful, and were in a good mood, when they suddenly heard someone on the street shouting Shen Xi's name. Shen Xi heard this familiar voice, and looked sideways, the person who came was a child in his teens, but it was the little round of the Southern Xinjiang Madhouse.

Shen Xi hurriedly greeted him, held Xiao Yuanzi's hand, and said happily, "Why are you here?"

Xiao Yuanzi grinned and said: "The Great Elder misses you, so let Xiao Yuanzi come to you, the Great Elder misses the old the most, as long as he was a person from the madhouse, the Great Elder will miss it very much if he doesn't see him for a few days." ”

Shen Xi pondered for a while, and suddenly asked, "Are you the only one who comes, you can come out, and that person must also come out." Xiao Yuanzi blinked his eyes and said, "Are you asking Second Brother Xie? Second Brother Xie didn't dare to come out this time, he had a fight with Qian Yu, so that the Great Elder could see it, and he was thinking about it in retreat!"

Shen Xi smiled: "The madhouse is still as lively." ”

Xiao Yuanzi said: "Second Brother Xie didn't come, but another person was looking for you, Xiao Yuanzi and her met halfway, and when they asked, they were all inquiring about your whereabouts." Shen Xi sighed and said, "Who is it?"

Xiaoyuanzi didn't answer, but flashed out quickly, and led a person around the corner of the street. When Shen Xi saw the man, his heart was pounding, and under the agitation, he blurted out: "Yun Sheng!"

The woman who came was Yun Sheng who rescued him in the imperial city, and at this moment she changed into a princess dress, wore a light-colored shirt, and called softly: "Shen Xi..."

Shen Xi was about to jump up happily, but this excitement lasted only a moment, and he hurriedly shrank back and retreated. Someone behind him grabbed him and said, "People have come all the way to come, and I don't know how much hardship I have suffered on the road, what do you want to do?"

Shen Xi said: "Ruoqing..."

Huan Ruoqing glanced at Yun Sheng a few times, and said with a smile: "Are you a royal princess?" Yun Sheng's eyes quickly swept over her, her cheeks were crimson, and she lowered her head shyly and said, "You are his teacher... Are you the princess of the Devil's Sect?"

Huan Ruoqing said: "Shen Xi has mentioned you many times, I have long wanted to see you, it is such a beautiful person! His vision is not bad, Shen Xi, people are here, why don't you go and hug it?"
