In a gray and white space that doesn't know where, but it doesn't know where, it is useless to sit on the ground. He didn't know how long he had been here, whether it was a few days, or a few years. And how it came about, he knew very clearly, but this reason also made him hate it in his heart.

He didn't know how many times he got up, and after identifying one direction, he walked for a long time and sat down on the ground again. Everything around was the same, nothing but gray and white. There is no deletion, no water, no sun and moon, and no one else. However, in addition to the emptiness, there will be other objects at some point in time.

Kongjing was thinking about the time in his heart, and it seemed that the thing was coming soon. He sat on the ground and waited.

Sure enough, it didn't take long to see the change in the mist, and out of it came an old monk with a dragon bell, wearing a tattered robe, straw sandals on his feet, and holding a willow stick, and was slowly walking from a distance. He came to Kongjing's side, slowly put the willow stick aside, straightened his clothes, and sat cross-legged facing Kongjing.

This monk has a yellow face and thin muscles, but his eyes are bright, which makes people look a little uncomfortable, but they can't find out why.

Kong Jing looked at the old monk, and felt disgusted in his heart, everything he encountered now was related to him.

The old monk didn't speak, just closed his eyes and sat opposite Kongjing, adjusted his body and mind, and meditated alone.

Kongjing sighed helplessly, and here it is again. Every time he met this old monk, he didn't say a word, and sat directly opposite him to meditate. It wasn't until he was upset that he got up and left.

But today's old monks are a little different. Kong Jing carefully observed, although the old monk was still thin, he could faintly feel the renewed vitality under the skin. Presumably, it has not been long since he was taken away.

The old monk sat for a long time, still waiting until he was empty and bored. But at the moment when he disappeared, a golden Buddha suddenly appeared in front of Kongjing. The Buddha statue is plump and simple, and it is the future Buddha Maitreya.

When the Buddha statue appeared, Kongjing hurriedly knelt down and begged the Buddha to protect himself from the hands of the villains. At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly woke up Kongjing, who was kneeling on the ground. He looked up. , I saw that the index finger of the Buddha's right hand was suddenly broken. The seemingly heavy sculpture made a crisp sound when it hit the ground, and the index finger rolled to the side after hitting the ground and disappeared.

As the index finger falls, several other fingers of the Buddha statue hit the ground at once. As if shattered by an external force, the original golden Buddha statue slowly became mottled, and the golden light of the two arms disappeared, and then it was replaced by an arm like a demon: the green tendons were bulging, the skin was ulcerated, and the pus and blood that flowed out dripped on the legs, corroding the Buddha light on the body.

Seeing this situation, Kongjing's face changed greatly, what was the reason that he could not parry the powerful future Buddha and turned into a demon.

He looked up, chanting Buddhist scriptures in his heart, begging the Buddha for protection. But when he looked at the face of the high Maitreya Buddha, the Maitreya Buddha, who had always been smiling, actually left a tear. The tears flowed down her full cheeks, down her chin, over her robes, and only to hear a drop of water fall to the ground and land at the feet of the Buddha statue.

Kongjing bowed his head again, and his heart was stunned. Could it be that the Buddha was weeping over his death? The empty smile was bleak, and the Buddha knew that he was going to die.

He looked up at the Buddha statue again, and the demonic arms tore at the fading Buddha light as if they were defiing the demon.

The impermanence of all actions is the law of birth and death. Life and death have been extinguished, and silence is joy. Amitabha.

Kongjing slowly got up and folded his hands. As if it were extinguished, it did not move at all.

The Buddha statue slowly disappeared, and this time turned gray again. But the tears remained. I saw that the tears slowly floated up and slowly fell into the empty forehead. Emptiness, on the other hand, is completely unfelt.

I don't know how long later, a pleasant bell came from the sky, and Kongjing hurriedly followed the reputation, only to see a smiling fat doll riding a big rooster that crowed from the sky, the big rooster was burning with flames above his head, his beak was golden, and his feet were like eagle claws, which was very strange. The fat doll is cute and cute, smiling, and doesn't even look like it's a full year.

A man and a rooster descended from the sky, and at last the big rooster's jewel-like eyes saw the emptiness and rushed towards him as if he had seen a treasure.

Although Kongjing has traveled to some famous mountains and rivers, where has he seen this kind of scene. Immediately vigilant in case of accidents.

But just when he thought the big would crash into him, the other party stopped abruptly. Kongjing hurriedly took a few steps back, and at this time, the doll on the back of the chicken jumped down with a rattle in hand. When the rooster saw this, he immediately flew up and flew into the air with his empty purity in his mouth. Before he could react, he vanished. In the whole space, only the fat doll was left sitting on the ground, shaking the rattle in his hand, and the sound of dong dong was endless.

When the emptiness was relieved, he felt that he was lying on the bed. He slowly opened his eyes and saw that Master, Senior Brother, and Wu Zhong were looking at him anxiously.

Wu Zhong and the others finally woke up when they saw that Kongjing, and their hanging hearts finally relaxed.

"Where am I?" Kong Jing was still at a loss, he couldn't believe that he was still in that strange space just now, and now he actually returned to Baiyun Temple.

The burden in Monk Huiguo's heart was suddenly put down, and he was speechless for a while, and Wu Zhong hurriedly explained the matter. Kongjing listened to the clouds and mountains, and finally barely understood. But because of the energy that was too much exertion, he fell asleep again.

Seeing this, the hearts that had just been put down hung again, and Xuan Bai explained: "Don't worry, he really fell asleep this time." I'll wake up later. ”

Huiguo and Konghuai clasped their hands together and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you to the donor, otherwise, the poor monk's apprentice may have to return to the west." ”

Although Kongjing woke up, there was still no sign of relaxation on Xuanbai's face: "Don't be happy too early, I'm just temporarily fixing his soul now, and the situation in his body hasn't improved." Look at the bell. Kong Jing put the bell in his hand and showed it to everyone.

Wu Zhong looked over and found that the child was gone, only a big rooster was on it: "What's going on, what about that doll?"

Xuanbai said with a serious face: "This is the price, replacing the little monk and letting him sober up temporarily." ”

Hui Guo listened with his eyes closed, his hands folded, and sighed, "O sin." ”

Wu Zhong was puzzled, and Xuan Bai explained: "That child is a baby soul under the age of one. If you want to make the emptiness clear, you must need something to replace it, and that child is this substitute. ”

Wu Zhong frowned suddenly, this method was too cruel. But at this point, it's too late to regret it, but to move on to the next step.

"What's next?" Wu Zhong asked.

Xuan Bai glanced at the empty purity in his sleep, and said slowly: "Before I came, I just thought that he was taken away, but now it seems that the other party can't help but cultivate to a high level, and he is not alone. ”

"It's not a person, what do you mean?" said Konghuai.

Xuanbai's face was solemn, and today's events were really incredible: "I mean, it is not one person who wants to give up, but many people. ”

"How come?" exclaimed Konghuai, "I've only heard of one person taking the house, and I've never heard of such a thing. Could it be a mistake?"

Xuan Bai glared at him: "If you don't believe it, come here and I'll let you see." As soon as the words fell, everyone gathered around Kongjing again.

Seeing Xuanbai took out ten sticks of incense from his treasure bag, three on his head, three on his chest, and three on the soles of his feet. He took the last stick of incense, lit it, and then lit the nine sticks in turn. In the end, he put this thought in the hands of the empty purity.

"Look closely. ”

I saw that the three on the top of his head, three on his chest, and three under his feet were burning, and they burned out in a short time, and the one in his hand was slowly emitting white smoke. The white smoke slowly swirled in mid-air, and finally fell back on the empty dantian.

"Nine-Star Soul Seeking Technique?" exclaimed Monk Huiguo.

Xuan Bai said angrily: "Now you know, the three talents of heaven, earth and man have been occupied, and he is only hanging his life by relying on the soul of the child who attracts the soul of the soul bell." If I wait any longer, I'm afraid it's over. ”

"Donor, please tell me what to do next. Monk Huiguo said respectfully.

Xuanbai took out a white candle and handed it to Hui Guo, and then instructed, "From today onwards, I want you to do a ritual." Now that he has returned to his soul, let's talk about it first. As for what the ritual is, I don't need to explain it, do I? This ritual will last for nine days. This is to stabilize the soul of the one who has taken it. In the meantime, Wu Zhong and I were going to look for something. If we don't come back after nine days, we light the candle and put it in our empty hands. This candle lasts for a day at most, but as soon as the flame goes out, it's too late. So, you have to make sure that the candle is not extinguished. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

Monk Huiguo and Konghuai nodded in agreement. Then Hui Guo spoke: "What do you two need? ”

Xuan Bai said: "Falling Soul Grass." Presumably, with your ability, you can still get it. I don't need much, just one plant. And for other things, it's not something you can help with. ”

Hui Guo listened and said firmly: "Don't worry, don't worry, this Fallen Soul Grass will definitely be found by the poor monks." ”

Seeing this, Wu Zhong knew that time was urgent, so he stepped forward and said, "Master, the two of us will leave first, and the rest will depend on you." ”

"I'm tired. Monk Huiguo said slowly.

Wu Zhong and the others nodded and turned to leave.

Monk Huiguo took a deep breath, his face was solemn, and he said to Konghuai: "Pass on my order, Baiyun Temple will thank guests for ten days, and the others will prepare for the Dharma Realm Saint Fan Water and Land Pudu Lent Victory Meeting." Let you be a few senior brothers to go and invite the host of Daqinglong Temple, the host of White Horse Temple, and the host of Lingyin Temple to come. This time I want to make sure that nothing goes wrong. Also, someone is preparing the Vajra Demon Suppression Array, once an accident happens, you must protect your junior brother. ”

"Yes. With that, he immediately turned and left.

Huiguo's eyes were like torches, his eyes were far away, and he muttered to himself: "Nothing will happen, definitely." ”
