The green mountains are verdant, the ancient trees are verdant, on this beautiful mountain, the birds are calling and the insects are singing, but this mountain, it is very steep, and it is far away from the village, so the mountain is even more deep and simple, and there are few people. Suddenly, a young voice came, "Master, it's getting late, and I can't find a place to stay before and after, this mountain is rarely populated, and the scenery is very beautiful, why don't we rest here at night?" ”

Then an old voice sounded, "Okay, let's rest here for the night, and continue our journey tomorrow morning." As soon as the words fell, I saw two yellow lights flashing, and suddenly two monks, one old and one young, suddenly appeared at the cliff, the old monk was wearing a bright yellow monk's robe, and the young monk was wearing a moon-white monk's robe. It was the mantra of Master Wuyi, the monk of Wuxiang Temple, and his disciples, who left the Xuanqing Sect that day.

Mantra picked up some dead branches and fallen leaves everywhere, gathered together, his fingertips lit up slightly, and these dead branches on the opposite side burned, and the master of no anger on the side praised, "Mantra, your true yuan is running, and the control is becoming more and more fine." ”

Hearing the truth, he hurriedly bowed his head and replied, "Master praises falsely! ”

Wu Yan shook his head, "What you used just now was a small karmic fire, if there was a point less just now, the firewood would not be lit, and if it was a big point, then it would all be lit at once." Mantra, you must know that karma starts from the heart, you have been talented and intelligent since you were a child, you know everything, but you are too depressed in your heart, and everything is hidden in your heart, and you are just worried about the teacher, so that you may have a big problem on the road in the future. ”

A trace of emotion flashed in the eyes of the unparalleled aura of the true word, and he nodded and replied, "Yes, the disciple remembers the master's teachings. ”

The night was deep, the mountains became more and more hazy, Zhenyan took out a few white-flour steamed buns from his bag, roasted them on the bonfire, and handed them to Wu Yan with both hands, for a while, the master and apprentice were relatively speechless, only the crackling sound of firewood sounded in this silent night. After a while, Wu Yan suddenly asked, "Mantra, is there an obstacle to practicing the four dimensions and seven steps now?" ”

Zhen Yan couldn't help but think of the scene in Xuanqing Sect at that time, which was almost devastating, and he replied, "Master, now when the disciple is practicing the four dimensions and seven steps, he only feels that the whole way is smooth, and there is no obstacle between the operation of the true yuan, and now, he has faintly peeked into the third layer of the doorway. ”

Wu sneered, "That's fine, it's not in vain." After a while, he listened to Wuzhi and continued, "Mantra, you grew up in Wuxiang Temple since you were a child, and in the past 18 years, you have never been out of the Fanyin Mountain within a radius of 100 kilometers. ”

No anger mentioned Xuanqingjiao, in the mind of the mantra, involuntarily appeared a beautiful figure, he muttered for a while, "Master, Xuanqingjiao is the head of Taoism in the world, the lotus thirty-six peaks, the scenery of each peak is different, deep and strange, it is really the spirit of the world, and I have no phase temple, located in the Fanyin Mountain, with the Buddha as the mountain, with the mountain as the Buddha, majestic and magnificent, the mountains of the world, there is no one who competes with it, the two are compared, like spring flowers and autumn moons, each wins for a while." ”

Wu laughed, "The mantra has a discerning eye for the Buddha's heart, just from the scenery, it has already pointed out the difference between the Xuanqing Sect and my Wuxiang Temple's cultivation path. He paused for a moment and continued, "This time, I have seen the Xuanqing Sect, but there are also a few outstanding disciples, you also need to pay attention to it, and if you have the opportunity in the future, you can communicate with each other." ”

Mantra nodded, and after a while, he seemed to think of something, Mantra's handsome face, frowning, a little skeptical, and a little unspeakable, he said hesitantly, "Master, disciple ......"

Wu Yan turned his head to look at the mantra, looking at him who wanted to say it but didn't seem to dare to say it, his heroic face was full of doubts, he smiled, "Mantra, it's okay to say something directly." ”

Zhenyan said cautiously, "Master, yesterday, when the disciple and Sikong Xiaoman were visiting Xuanqing, they accidentally saw Senior Brother Ye Jianan Ye in the Xuanqing Torture Hall. Seeing that there was no reaction from anger, he added, "It is the scourge in the mouth of Senior Brother Qingsong and Qingnian that we encountered in front of the gate of Xuanqing Mountain." ”

Wu replied, listened to the truth and continued, "In the torture hall, I saw Senior Brother Ye, Senior Brother Qing Nian, and Senior Brother Qing Song, although they all thought that Senior Brother Ye injured Senior Brother Qing Nian, and even later, Senior Brother Ye admitted it himself, but ...... Can...... But when I saw Senior Brother Ye's eyes at that time, I was desperate and even dead at that moment, I ...... I always felt that Senior Brother Ye would not hurt Senior Brother Qingnian. ”

A low sigh came, and he looked at his favorite disciple without disgust, and said softly, "Truth, you grew up in the temple since you were a child, and you don't know that people's hearts are sinister, although I have been in Xuanqing for just a few days, but I have heard a lot about Ye Jianan, he is the son-in-law of Ye Zonglun of the Xuanqing Sect, and he has been stubborn since he was a child. Truth, you have a good heart, but you can't measure a person's good or bad by your own likes and dislikes. It is necessary to know that right and wrong are at ease in people's hearts. ”

Mantra nodded in agreement, "What Master teaches is that disciples always remember. Wu Yan looked at the mantra and nodded in agreement, but there was still a trace of confusion in the eyes of the unequaled aura, and the disciple of the heart was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and the idea in his heart was not something that could be changed between his words. Mantra grew up in the temple since he was a child, and he has not entered the WTO deeply, so he is not as good as ....... As soon as he thought of this, he continued, "Mantra, I originally planned to return to the temple with you, and in the Wuxiang Temple, you can continue to practice the four dimensions and seven steps. However, the color is not different from the emptiness, the emptiness is not different from the color, where is not the practice, in the Wuxiang Temple, the practice is just the method, but in the world, the practice is not only the four dimensions and seven steps, but also in the cultivation of the mind, the emptiness of the law, the end of karma, the red dust cultivation of the mind, the mantra, you should also go down the mountain to practice. ”

Zhen Yan was stunned for a moment, got up and knelt down, "Master, the disciple has served the master for thirteen years, day and night, if you ...... If...... If the disciple goes down the mountain, then who will serve the Master, and the Master needs to take Samadhi tea regularly every day, and the Master ....... ”

He smiled and touched the top of the mantra's head, "Idiot, you don't need samadhi tea for a teacher, the Buddha said that the world is bitter, and you have to take care of it for 13 years, which is already too much, and after returning to the mountain, you will have to retreat for several years as a teacher." You can go down the mountain in peace. ”

In the early morning of the next day, when the mantra woke up, the figure of the master of no anger was gone, and next to the bonfire beside him, there was a delicate box and a note, and the mantra hurriedly grabbed it and saw that the note was written by the master of no anger to the mantra, "Shinga, you have first glimpsed the path of cultivation, and you need to practice diligently every day in the future, leaving the Buddha beads for your self-defense, one thought becomes a Buddha, one thought becomes a demon, remember to remember!" ”

Prajna Buddha beads are the self-defense magic weapon that the master of Wuzhi has been carrying, it is a bracelet strung with six Brahma Bodhi seeds, which can prevent the yin demon from entering the body, the demon is close to the body, and the power is great, and it is also one of the top magic weapons in the Wuxiang Temple. The mantra held the Buddha beads tightly, looked in the direction of the Wuxiang Temple, and was silent for a long time.

At this moment, on the top of this deserted lonely mountain, he is the only one, the mountain wind hunting, the moon-white monk's robe was blown up, he stood against the wind, the Pranya bead in his hand was thrown up, a little yellow light on his fingertips, and he poked the Pranya bead violently, the six beads suddenly rose with yellow light, and suddenly, they merged into a larger bead, the mantra stepped a little, the body took off, and the next moment it fell on the Pranya bead, the true yuan urged, and the Pranyo bead galloped away like lightning.

I don't know how long I flew, I saw that there seemed to be a market in front of me, the mantra received the trick, found a remote place and landed, he walked along the road, and after a while, he saw a stone tablet standing on the side of the road in front of him, and took a closer look, there were three words engraved on it, "Dayi Town".

Dayi Town is located in the north of Huaiyang City, surrounded by mountains, there are many lofty mountains nearby, the residents of the town are made by sunrise, sunset and rest, the truth has gone all the way over, the whole town, backed by the mountains, the houses are scattered, built according to the mountains, in the middle of the town, there is a street and alley, on the streets and alleys, there are street vendors and merchants in twos and threes, teahouses and restaurants, the truth has never seen such a worldly scene, for a while, but also feels that it is fresh. Suddenly, a human voice sounded, and the nearby crowd was in a commotion, and they all ran to the place where the sound sounded, but Mana didn't know what was going on, and walked with the crowd.

In the middle of the crowd, a woman with disheveled hair knelt on the ground, and in front of her was a middle-aged man, who was dressed in splendid clothes, had a big belly, and seemed to have some power. Zhenyan approached, but heard the woman say to the middle-aged man, "Mayor Town, I really have no choice, the dog baby went to the mountains to find his father the day before yesterday, and he hasn't come back yet, Mayor Town, I beg you, I'm a woman's family, it's been almost seven days, his father and the dog baby have no shadow, I really can't help it." ”

The middle-aged man, frowning, said in a rough voice, "The town told you more than ten years ago that the mountain is a forbidden place, and we don't dare to enter it for ten years, and we don't even know what it looks like inside." Your man was greedy to earn some money, and despite everyone's opposition, he went up the mountain alone to collect medicine, but now, it has been seven days, and he has not returned. What about your dog baby, we all ignored how we persuaded him, and even after dark, he secretly went up the mountain alone, looking for his father to come back, but he didn't find it, and he was gone. It's good that you let me say that! ”

When the woman heard this, she felt a little miserable, she tugged at the hem of the mayor's clothes, "The mayor, but now, there is really no way to do it, you can help our family, seeing that his father and son have no news when they arrive, and then the family is ruined, I ...... I've kowtowed to you. Then the middle-aged woman kowtowed on the bluestone slab in the alley.

The mayor looked at the middle-aged woman who kept kowtowing indifferently, and he said coldly, "Sister-in-law of the Lei family, I didn't say you, if it weren't for you, would your man be able to risk his death to go into the mountains to collect medicine?" Your son is going into the mountains to find his father, why don't you stop him? You, a mother, just watched your son risk death into the mountains? I haven't heard from anyone for so many days, and maybe everyone is gone. Hum! The mayor waved his sleeves, snorted coldly, and turned to leave, ignoring the woman whose scalp had been bleeding.

The middle-aged woman, who seemed to be a little stunned by the mayor's words, and there was a hint of despair in her tearful eyes, she slowly stood up, looked at the direction the mayor was walking, and muttered to herself, "If that's the ......case, then I'...... We...... I will come to you. Suddenly, she lowered her head and slammed straight into a stone lion in front of the courtyard outside her door.

The stone lion, who had endured the wind and sun day and night, looked at the imminent tragedy with his eyes half-closed.

Zhenyan was shocked in his heart, others may not be able to hear what the woman said, but he practiced Buddhism and magic, and his five senses and spiritual sense were naturally more acute than others, he had just heard what the woman said, and he had some doubts in his heart, and when he saw her rushing straight towards the stone lion, he said badly, his mind moved, four dimensions and seven steps, he was already in front of the stone lion, but he heard a coquettish sound, and then a white light lit up in front of the woman, and he blocked the woman's death-defying impact.

I only heard the neighing of the people around me, and a young girl in Tsing Yi, carrying a sword on her back, walked out of the crowd and reached out to pick up the middle-aged woman, "Auntie." Then she looked at the mantra, but found that the mantra was also looking at her, and the two looked at each other, and heard the girl in blue clasp her fists and said to the mantra, "The master is so fast." Zhen Yan smiled, and was about to reply, but saw the crowd separate, and a young man in blue, also carrying a sword, walked out.

Looking at the mantra, the young man in blue had sword eyebrows and starry eyes, slanted eyebrows and sideburns, but he heard the young man in blue say, "Senior sister, when we went down the mountain, the master repeatedly warned us not to cause more trouble. You ......" the girl in Tsing Yi pouted, "Senior brother, Master also said that you should do more good deeds, and I am also eager to save people's hearts." ”

The blue-clothed young man glared, then turned his head to look at the mantra, and hugged his fists, "Master, what do you call it?" The mantra clasped his hands together and saluted back, "Don't dare, the little monk's mantra." The blue-clothed young man nodded and replied, "Under Bai Fei, this is under the junior sister Lu Ruolian, we are disciples of the White Cloud Sword Sect, looking at the master's body just now, it seems that he is also a cultivator, I don't know...... I don't know where the teacher is? ”

Zhenyan's eyes lit up, and he also heard Master Wu Yan say that the Baiyun Sword Sect is a sect that is good at the sword, and the disciples in the Sword Sect all use swords as weapons. Listening to Master Wu's anger, decades ago, it seems that he also had a relationship with Bai Qiyun. Since then, Master Wuyi has been in Wuxiang Temple, and he has never seen it.

Zhenyan nodded with a smile, "Your sect Bai Qiyun Bai Shiuncle, I don't know if it's ......"

The young man in blue's eyes lit up, "It's the family teacher." Senior brother? ”

The mantra said, "Under is the disciple of the master of Wuxiang Temple, I heard the teacher once said, decades ago, and Bai Shibo hurriedly, a lot of feelings, the teacher also often mentioned to the disciple, Bai Shibo is jealous and hateful, in the swordsmanship, it is even more unique, and the attainments are quite profound. ”

"Ah, you are actually a disciple of Wuxiang Temple." Bai Fei and Lu Ruolian couldn't help blurting out, you must know that there are dozens of monks in the Xiao Wuxiang Temple, and many of them are in retreat and penance in the temple all the year round, so outside, there are very few monks from the Xiao Wuxiang Temple walking.

The three of them briefly introduced, and when they learned about the other party's master, they couldn't help but get a little closer, and Bai Fei and Ye Ruolian, although they were about twenty years old, they were faintly as angry as a mountain, immobile as an abyss, and they had a good impression of it, and between the words, they couldn't help but be a lot more enthusiastic.

On the side, Lu Ruolian glanced at the woman who wanted to commit suicide by hitting the stone, and stepped forward and asked, "Auntie, there is nothing difficult in the world except death, if you have anything, we can help you." ”

The woman's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she couldn't help but say, "Really? Seeing that several people nodded, she still cringed a little and said, "But the mountain ......"

An hour later, it was already in the middle-aged woman's home, and the three of them also knew the general thing from her mouth, about seven or eight years ago, at the foot of Shiniu Mountain in the south of Dayi Town, a stone tablet suddenly appeared, engraved with four big characters, "Man and beast are not close". The so-called relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, relying on the sea to eat the sea, the people of Dayi Town, originally many people in the Shiniu Mountain to chop wood, hunting, collecting medicine for a living, at this moment suddenly there is such a tablet, erected straight at the foot of the mountain, no one knows where this stone tablet comes from, at that time, there are many people, did not take the words on the stone tablet as a thing, still go up the mountain to chop wood, hunting, but, from the day the stone tablet appeared, all the people who entered the Shiniu Mountain, never came out again. The local government organized several personnel to go in to explore, but even the explorers disappeared in Shiniu Mountain without exception, since then, Shiniu Mountain has become a forbidden place, and the people in the town have never dared to enter Shiniu Mountain, fortunately, around Dayi Town, are all lofty mountains and mountains, except for Shiniu Mountain, other mountains and forests, there is no taboo, you can still hunt and collect medicine and cut firewood, so this Shiniu Mountain, gradually, no one has ever entered.

Half a month ago, when the middle-aged woman was cooking, she suddenly foamed at the mouth and fainted to the ground, Lei Quan, who was also the husband of the middle-aged woman, was busy going to the town to find a doctor, and after the doctor diagnosed, it was said that it was a rare convulsion. Lei Quan was shocked, but he heard the doctor say that it is not difficult to cure this disease, but it is missing the main medicine horse clover, which grows in damp and dark places, which is extremely rare, and there has never been one in the medicine store in the town, Lei Quan spent seven days selling all the previous things in the family, went to the city, and came back with a gloomy face, sitting in the courtyard of the house, without saying a word.
