Chapter 21 Our Lady of the White Lotus wants to catch the fox, and it is difficult to see the willow branches
Not every Taoist priest can transcend things and be compassionate. Before the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info reached a certain level, the Taoist priest first considered food, clothing, housing and transportation, and the Taoist temple first considered maintenance. Of course, there is no shortage of Taoist temples for business.
At least Yun Fox was very skeptical, if there was enough silver, the white and chubby Taoist temple master in front of him would sell the Sanqing Divine Statue in the main hall for a good price. Yun Fox reluctantly took out the last ingot of silver, counting Qianniang and Ayi's accommodation for the past few days.
I have to say that there are all kinds of people in this world, but the cloud fox has little knowledge. After all, not everyone can be like the dust gang and not eat the fireworks of the world. If money is too easy to come by, it won't be taken seriously. As a result, Yunhu was given a Taoist temple, which should be a place of pure cultivation, and not to talk about the "wrong cognition" of mundane things. Therefore, it is indeed a good thing that Cloud Fox comes out to practice alone. The fox spirit who doesn't know the various states in the world can't become a fox fairy.
The night is deep and dewy, and the moon is in the sky. The cloud fox quietly left the Taoist temple, transformed into the appearance of an old Taoist priest, and shot towards the state city. Cloud Fox has never been able to figure out why the White Lotus Church has the idea of beating the old locust tree. But after all, he has a period of cause and effect with the old locust tree, and the scriptures are not full for three days, and he can't be silent no matter what. What's more, how can I bear to let a big tree that is very likely to bloom with wisdom die halfway?
It may take more than half a day to drive the carriage for dozens of miles, but it is only a quarter of the time for the flight of Edgeworth, but just when the cloud fox flew halfway and saw the outline of the city in the night from a distance, the cloud fox suddenly frowned and accelerated towards the Liu Mansion in the state city.
The spirit rune that the cloud fox had punched into the old locust tree's body was forcibly withdrawn.
It was an earth qi talisman, and it was the method left by the cloud fox to the old locust tree to protect his life. You can let the old locust tree hook up the earth's veins, and once the locust tree shakes, it will inevitably cause an earthquake. When the whole city is alarmed, under the turbulence of the crowd, who would dare to risk the world's inaction to hurt the old locust tree.
What kind of existence might have pulled out the cloud fox's talisman, of course the cloud fox knows.
But there are many things that can be used as a basis for advance and retreat without being weighed. The cloud fox and the old locust tree have a three-day scripture covenant, and there is a cause and effect to seek the branches. The cultivator made the heaviest promise, if the cloud fox gave up, then the path would definitely be ruined in this life, and there would be no hope of the Great Dao.
For those who cultivate the path and seek immortals, the path is more important than life!
Yun Fox touched the copper coin brought by Senior Sister Yunhua on his chest, and only then did he feel a little relieved. The figure was like a streamer, shooting straight towards Liu's mansion.
"Thief, how dare you?" When the Cloud Fox flew over Liu's Mansion, a large group of White Lotus Sect members had already stood in the back garden of Liu's Mansion. Several members of the sect with sharp axes were already cutting down the trees, and as the sawdust flew together, the old locust tree was also in danger. Yun Fox's heart was in a hurry, and he couldn't care about anything else, and with a stroke of his fingers, a sword light shot out from under the cloud fox's feet, cutting the sharp axes in the hands of several sect members who were cutting down trees into two pieces.
Just as the White Lotus Sect members below were startled, and before they could react, a cold female voice floated into the ears of the cloud fox.
"Oh, why didn't your master come, I haven't seen him for a few years, could it be that he forgot his old friend?" The cloud fox followed the prestige, and what he saw was a woman in white standing in the void dozens of meters away, like a ghost, and she had no popularity at all.
The cloud fox suddenly exploded with white hair, and accidentally changed back to the appearance of a fox boy, with a good appearance.
"The little fox looks good, and he took you, just to force your master to come out." The woman in white landed on the ground with a word, and a white silk seemed to roll backwards towards the cloud fox as if slowly. The cloud fox immediately flew up and retreated, recalling the fairy sword and slashing towards Bai Aya.
The sword light is like snow, but it is slashed away with a sword, like a mud cow entering the sea, and it can't ripple at all. Cloud Fox was shocked, and before he could change his moves, Bai Aya had already arrived in front of him. Fortunately, a golden light flashed in time, and the cloud fox snorted and flew out upside down. The copper coin on his chest is faintly hot. But fortunately, the white silk of the White Lotus Mother was also blocked by the talisman copper coin.
"Humph! That guy loves you little fox very much! The White Lotus Holy Mother was very calm about missing the blow, and glanced at the cloud fox and said.
Just as Cloud Fox was about to meet the second wave, the White Lotus Holy Mother suddenly frowned and said, "Your master is here, he has a good calculation!" After saying that, the figure flashed and disappeared without a trace. Leaving the second monk of the cloud fox at a loss.
"Didn't Master go to Kunwu?" Cloud Fox muttered, unaware that the White Lotus Sect members below were already scattered.
The Cloud Fox couldn't be as knowledgeable as a group of ordinary White Lotus Sect members, and after letting them leave, he landed lightly on the ground. Walk to the old locust tree.
The trunk of the old locust tree has been cut in half, and I don't know if it will survive. The cloud fox put his hand on the trunk of the old locust tree, and a deep sadness instantly hit his heart.
The years have spanned thousands of years, and a gust of wind has brought the seeds of a locust tree here. At that time, the state town was nowhere near as big as it is today. The locust tree grows almost in the wasteland on the outskirts of the city. With a gust of spring rain, the locust tree slowly takes root and sprouts, and then grows little by little. Countless figures come and go, and countless years pass. Some people have also taken refuge in the shade under the trees, and some people have also sheltered from the rain in the trees. The memory of the old locust tree has thousands of years of wind and rain changes, and has experienced countless people from ignorant children, always hanging hair, to pale hair, and finally aging. Generation after generation.
Compared with its thousand-year-old tree, human time is too short.
"This old locust tree is not bad!" A middle-aged man in disguise walked under the old locust tree to hide from the rain, touched the wrinkled bark of the old locust tree like a cloud fox, and smiled.
"How about you and I shelter from the wind and rain, and I and you make a scene?" The middle-aged Taoist priest had beautiful hair, and after circling the old locust tree in the rain a few times regardless of it, he gently touched the trunk with his hand in his mouth and said: "Well, the time has not yet come, and it is good for the descendants of the poor Dao to come back to finish today's promise?" ”
The rain stopped and the wind stopped, and the Taoist laughed away, but the cloud fox suddenly woke up, looked at the big tree in front of him, and was speechless in surprise.
"Patriarch?" Cloud Fox asked in a whisper.
The old locust tree stood there quietly, silent in the night, and the cloud fox's question was destined to be unanswered.
When the sky fell, there was a tall man on top of it, and the trouble of the cloud fox was naturally blocked by the master who hurt the apprentice. A hundred miles away, a smiling Taoist stood in front of a woman in white with a willow branch in his hand.
"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! Dao Friendly has not seen you for a long time. I wonder how it has been lately? Mingxu Daoist stood on the top of the mountain, looked at the White Lotus Holy Mother who came from the sky, and said hello with a smile.
"This seat is stranded in the world, it's not a good thing that Taoist friends have done, I did one today, how about ending the cause and effect of you and me?" The Holy Mother of the White Lotus was still cold, and asked in an unkind tone as soon as she came up.
"Daoist friends are incarnated innumerable, whether they win or lose, no matter how poor Dao is a loss, such a good day and moonlit night, why do you need to live or die? Poor Dao dares to show up here today, Our Lady thinks she will definitely be able to win Poor Dao? The smile of the Ming Xuan Dao Chief was still the same, and the merit Fa (harmony) wheel behind him suddenly shone with golden light, and the Holy Mother of the White Lotus had to stop, and finally there was a trace of hesitation on her face.
"Fellow Daoists, could it be that the path to immortality is impassable, and they cut out the incarnation of the priesthood, hoping for merit and enlightenment? That's a fall! Our Lady of the White Lotus spoke sarcastically.
"Shinto, immortal, not all are the fruit of longevity. I haven't seen you for many years, and the Virgin is as beautiful as ever, why don't you sit down and have a cup of tea to discuss one or two? Mingxu smiled.
Shinto is different from the Immortal Dao, but the Immortal Dao is more dependent on its own cultivation. But once it is calculated, it will fall into reincarnation, and there are not a few people who will die. Shinto has many constraints, and it does not progress as much as the immortal way. But there is a benefit, that is, the Taoist system is not extinguished, the incense is continuous, and it is an immortal body.
Even if the Holy Mother of the White Lotus now destroys Mingxu, as long as he can't cut down the mountains and destroy the temple, and destroy Mingxu's Taoist beliefs cleanly, Mingxu can still be reborn in the Kingdom of God. This is clearly true, and so is the Virgin of the White Lotus. They also knew to each other that the Holy Mother of the White Lotus saw that it was Mingxu who came, not dust, and lost most of it with a killing intent.
If you can't kill it, why bother with it?
A little willow branch, a stone table and stone bench appeared on the top of the mountain out of thin air. With a full moon on his head and a silver glow on the ground, he smiled and picked up a cup of tea and made a gesture to invite tea, and then drank it himself.
"It is not easy for an old locust tree to grow for thousands of years, and it has a karmic fate with my Xuanguang Temple, is it okay for Our Lady of the White Lotus to let it go?" Mingxu put down the teacup and asked with a smile. It was as if sitting across from him was an old friend, not a mortal enemy.
"No way!" Our Lady of the White Lotus didn't touch the teacup, and coldly refused.
"The five elements of yin and yang, and the operation of spiritual energy are indeed the only way for my Taoist to enter the Tao and practice, but it is just a way to gather spiritual energy and violate the heavens. If it was really so easy, under the Heavenly Dao, how could no one try it first? Daoist friends won't regard today's world as the White Lotus Holy Realm, a vacuum hometown, right? Mingxu asked.
"It seems that not only this seat is thinking about Taoist friends, but Taoist friends are also deeply concerned about this seat!" The White Lotus Holy Mother sneered coldly.
"Don't dare, don't dare, the poor Taoist cultivation is still shallow, compared to the Holy Mother of the Golden Immortal, Buddhism and Taoism, half-immortal and half-god. It's just a great array of five elements, yin and yang transformation. The materials of this old locust tree are too bad, and the results may not be satisfactory! Mingxu said.
"Oh!" Our Lady of the White Lotus was noncommittal, waiting for Mingxu to continue to speak.
"How does Our Lady see this willow branch of the poor road?" Mingxu put the willow branch in his hand on the stone table.
It looks like an ordinary willow branch, and there is not much peculiarity. The Holy Mother of the White Lotus stared at it tightly for a long time before she said: "Dao friendship ability, you can actually break a branch from your own divine kingdom and bring it out, Dao You have lost a lot of merit!" ”
"Three thousand deeds, five thousand wishes, if the cause and effect are eliminated, the child is safe, why not?" Mingxu said.
"In this case, this seat will let go of the old locust tree for the time being, but I also ask the Taoist friends to restrain the disciples a lot, so as not to commit crimes in the hands of this seat again." After the White Lotus Mother finished speaking, she picked up the willow branch on the table, and her figure disappeared out of thin air in a flash.
Mingxu sighed, looked at the full moon in the sky, and guessed where his deity had reached in Kunwu.
As soon as I entered Kunwu, it was as deep as the sea, and it had changed the world. Even the connection between Mingxu and Lichen became vaguely blurred.
Now that he has met Our Lady of the White Lotus, to be honest, Mingxu is not afraid of what Our Lady can do to him, he has the kingdom of God in his hands, and the protection of heaven. But the cloud fox could not escape the catastrophe. There is no way to send a willow branch, not only for the little fox, but also for the sake of the grandfather!
Without the words of the ancestor master, the cloud fox would not have formed a fate with the old locust tree in the dark. So the root of everything is "life"!
Mingxu let out a long sigh and turned his sleeves. The old locust tree hundreds of miles away flew into the sky and flew towards the depths of the night sky. The cloud fox was startled, and just about to make a move, but immediately stopped again, standing there motionless and not daring to move, his expression was a little aggrieved, and a little reluctant, like a child who had made a big mistake and didn't dare to speak out.
People go to empty buildings, and trees leave pits. The cloud fox went back to the Taoist temple dozens of miles away. Before dawn the next day, a large group of officers and soldiers surrounded Liu's Mansion. In the amazement of the whole city, a corpse and bones were taken out of the well, and the White Lotus Cult was even involved, causing an uproar in the whole city.
The high-level of the White Lotus Sect ran fast, but many of the middle-level backbones were caught red-handed before they had time to slip away. The people in the state city were panicked, and a large number of officers and soldiers and Jinyi lieutenants shuttled through them, arresting people everywhere.
The old man of the state capital committed suicide by taking poison, and the mouth of the vegetable market was cut into a river of blood, and the stench did not disappear for several days. But at least the city was spared a catastrophe. It's really unclear whether it's a blessing or a curse.
The old fairy that the cloud fox has become a prophecy, leaving behind a legend of an old fairy who is a master in the world. The disappeared old locust tree was also regarded as a sacred tree, but it was gone without a trace, and there was no way to find it. In the spring of the following year, when a small sapling sprouted in the pit of the tree, the whole city happily protected the little sapling as a sacred object.
I hope that this little tree can continue to protect the feng shui of the state city like his elders, and not to have the scary scene in the past.
The green mountains are quiet, and the green water is long. The cloud fox with the two tails behind him has walked into a big mountain.
Back then, Lichen rescued the mother and son of the cloud fox in this mountain, and buried the mother of the cloud fox in this mountain. This mountain is the birthplace of the cloud fox, and it is also the hometown of the bones of the cloud fox's mother.
Cloud Fox suddenly became much more reticent. The deeper he went, the heavier the cloud fox's mood became. Crossing the mountains and mountains is nothing for the old mountain people's Ayido, but it is difficult for Qianniang, who has not been out much since she was a child.
Walk all the way, stop all the way. Yun Fox didn't say where he was going, but just wandered around the mountains, and tried to send Qianniang and Ayi outside the mountain several times but were refused. It wasn't until she met a small mountain village that Yun Fox repeatedly insisted that Qianniang agreed to stop and wait, and Aido reluctantly stayed to take care of Qianniang.
The cloud fox came out and let out a long sigh of relief in the mountains. Finally got rid of the two troublesome spirits, and he was finally able to meet his mother alone. (To be continued.) )
