Prequel: The Secret of Clear Water City Chapter 21: Gu Fang
Just a few months later, Zhou Yusheng practiced bamboo cutting and sword practice every day, which was indeed a bit terrifying.
Crawling out of the wooden basin without any scruples, his small body exposed in the air, Zhou Yusheng's body has recovered its flesh and blood as if it were refreshed, except for a few terrifying scars on his back, but this plate of cyan green liquid is also becoming more and more turbid in repeated use, he shook his head helplessly, and muttered in a low voice: Can this still support the cultivation of the last few months.
Wiped the water stains off his body, put on a neat dress casually for the rest of his life, and then climbed onto the soft bed, and from under the pillow, he found out the turtle pattern board that he hadn't taken out for a long time.
I don't know how many times the handwriting on the turtle pattern board has been scrubbed by Zhou Yusheng, and the whole is a little bright, exuding a faint luster, which has a bit of a mysterious taste.
From a very early age, Zhou Yusheng, in addition to cultivating with his stuffy head, put the rest of his mind on the obscure words in the Xuan Turtle Pattern Board.
"Looks like I'm going to have to go to the bamboo dyeing master and ask for a dictionary. His gaze slowly swept over the turtle pattern board and muttered.
After all, he had already fulfilled his promise on Lingzhu Peak for three years, and he had always been very comfortable with this matter.
Coming down from Lingzhu Peak, in the past two and a half years, he has long been familiar with this ladder that has been walked thousands of times.
The sky is not yet bright, and the thick mist that shrouds the acid and the body has not yet dissipated, without the cry that the acid and the wake up made every time he goes down the mountain, the rest of Zhou Yusheng also looks clean.
Walking all the way along the Lingzhu Peak towards the Purple Fire Temple, you need to pass through a meditation room that only the disciples of the Purple Fire Temple can enter.
The whole temple of the Purple Fire View is built according to the mountain, it is said that the mountain peak that stretches for tens of thousands of miles, is a Dajin Mountain Range called the West Chu Mountain, the Purple Fire View is built on a cliff outside the West Chu Mountain, only supported by a column, it is very thrilling, it seems that it will fall down at any time, it is daunting.
The main hall is covered with dust, cobwebs are vertical and horizontal, the statues are incomplete, and the murals are mottled and blurred due to the invasion of wind and snow.
As for the matter of the Gu family's big fuss about Zihuoguan a year ago, I heard a lot of discussions from my senior brothers and sisters, and I also heard about it.
"Senior Brother Yu Sheng, are you going to send Lingzhu again today?"
A childish voice came from the main hall of the Purple Fire Temple, he grabbed the fragrant peach that was placed in the incense place, a big fleshy hand with white flowers was stained with peach juice flowing from his mouth, and the other hand was holding the Maitreya Buddha on the Buddha statue.
Zhou Yusheng's footsteps paused, his eyes raised, and he felt a little funny.
But in front of this child, who was clearly how many years younger than himself, he could not pretend to be an adult, but when he saw the child, he slowly turned his gaze, restrained his smile, and his expression became solemn.
Judging from the time of entering the view, this child is undoubtedly the oldest senior brother in the entire Purple Fire Concept, and he is also the most favored disciple in the entire Purple Fire Concept.
"Senior Brother Zhumiao, I'm here to find Abbot Zhuye today. He bowed like a child, and his steps grew lighter and lighter, and he stopped in the middle of the hall.
"The bamboo dyeing master is out of the house today, and he won't be back until about a week. Obviously just a child, but he spoke old-fashioned, and said lightly.
"Then I'll come back next time. Zhou Yusheng shook his head with some regret, and after bidding farewell to Zhu Miao, he walked towards the outside of the main hall.
"Brother for the rest of my life. Another shout came from the meditation room, and the young man flickered from the meditation room, and a weak voice stopped Zhou Yusheng.
She was weak and thin-shouldered. The ribs on his body are exposed behind the rags that people elegantly call the kaftan
The girl trotted along the path from the meditation room.
From time to time with a few heavy breaths, her steps were a little lame, she staggered, her movements were slow, she had a crippled leg, and she walked, and one foot was on the ground little by little, and her body rose and fell with a great amplitude.
"Senior Sister Kongxue. Zhou Yusheng looked at the staggering figure with some concern, lifted his footsteps, and stretched out his hand to support the empty snow that had come here with difficulty.
"I heard you're leaving. The girl's eyes moved slightly, and there was an obscure sadness in her eyes.
Zhou Yusheng didn't lie, and looked at the place where the girl's eyes were, and his flat eyes followed, and his voice was a little choked.
"yes! Probably half a year away. ”
He knew the origin of Kongxue, and he also knew how desolate this abandoned baby who was abandoned by the clan because of his natural disability, along the way.
He will be good to her, and most likely because of her miserable background, he will have hidden sympathy.
also knows that this ill-fated girl has been affectionate to him for a long time.
The moment he returned from the eight-faced Qifan Tablet, he had a new understanding of the world.
The heart of the avenue, once the things you are concerned about occupy your heart, it will involve too much so-called cause and effect, and once it goes beyond cause and effect, the theory of cause and effect will give rise to more uncertainties outside cause and effect.
As Buddhism says: the retribution of good and evil follows like a shadow, and the cycle of cause and effect in three lifetimes is not lost. All retribution begins with karma, and all results arise from causes. If there are hundreds of eons and the work is not destroyed, when karma meets, the retribution will be retributed.
"Senior brother, I want to give you something, if you have the opportunity to go to Mocheng Yanyu in the future, you must transfer me to the people of the Lin family. The girl bit her lips tightly, a pair of eclipsed bright eyes, and looked at Zhou Yusheng with resentment, but her eyes were stained with tears, she snorted, and swept her sympathetic and soft gaze fiercely.
"Why do you want to give it to me, obviously there are so many advanced abbots in the Purple Fire Meditation Sect, if you ask one of them, you will definitely be able to help you transfer it to others. Zhou Yusheng said with a solemn expression.
The girl's resentful eyes looked at Zhou Yusheng deeply, and for some reason, those eyes like sharp knives made him feel a little weak.
"Because ah......"
"She is the eldest daughter of the current head of the Lin family!"
"Who!"
A sharp laugh suddenly erupted from his mouth, and there was a compelling coldness in his voice, as sharp as a knife, cutting people's hearts, and a smell of blood began to fill the air, and the atmosphere was cold and chilling.
I saw that the person who came was the one with the most kind face, even among the three abbots, it was also the bamboo square with the lowest sense of existence.
He glanced at her lightly with a cold gaze, his eyes were disdainful, and there was a hint of disgust.
"Empty snow, so many years. You're finally willing to take this thing out. ”
"Master Takekata, what are you doing. ”
The gloomy bamboo square in front of him and the honest bamboo square on weekdays make it impossible to associate these two people together.
"That new disciple of Lingzhu Peak?" he suddenly sighed in surprise, and after Zhou Yusheng glanced at Zhou Yusheng a few times, after a long time, he dispelled the scruples in his eyes, and the sarcasm in his mouth was even worse.
"Now that you've seen it, let's go to Yellow Springs with Kongxue. I can see that this little girl seems to have some interest in you, or if you have a companion on Huangquan Road, you won't be so lonely when you die, and by the way, you can do some good deeds before you die, so that you can also be an outlaw mandarin duck in Huangquan Road. He looked at her coldly, and made no secret of the cruelty and coldness in his heart. This indifferent and merciless gaze is chilling.
"Purple Sparrow?" His face changed again, and his gaze fell on the sword in Zhou Yusheng's sheath.
Then the smile on his face became stronger, the thick palms that emerged from the robe, and the red and white robe hanging on his body slid to the ground in the wind, and Zhou Yusheng saw clearly that behind the red and white robe, it was a black scale armor that was obviously wide around the body.
With a jet-black luster, the pieces attached to the armor are like scales, like the claw marks of a tiger reaching out, and three silver-white paw prints protect the position of the right atrium of the bamboo square.
Zhou Yusheng stood in front, one hand protecting the empty snow behind him, and the other hand clutching the purple finch in the sheath.
She looked him up and down, her eyes full of gentleness and concern. His weak but majestic back filled her heart with warmth, and tears couldn't help but roll in her eyes.
"Senior brother for the rest of his life, all he wants is what I have. ”
"What is the thing in your hand, let Takefang also think about it. ”
He suddenly became interested in the things in Kuxue's hand, this wooden box made of sandalwood was extremely ordinary, and the whole body was red, exuding a faint sandalwood fragrance, which was refreshing.
"I don't know, Master Zhuqing said that it was this box that would have kept me alive back then. She shook her head vigorously, her eyes glazed over, and her eyes were full of horror.
"Enough is enough!" he smirked.
"Enough is enough, let's die!" At this moment, his face was full of hideousness, a pair of eyes that could breathe fire, and a murderous grin appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"But what can keep you alive may be something extraordinary. ”
The corners of Zhou Yusheng's mouth twitched, and he didn't know how he could say such sassy words.
With a twist of his wrist, the sword blade that came over his back, and the brilliance under the blade of the sword shone on Takefang's face and twisted hideously.
"A thing that hasn't even opened up a spiritual vein, and is like an ant in my eyes, actually dares to resist?"
"Yi Jin Jing. ”
These three words slowly spit out from Zhu Fang's mouth, and this low voice seemed to come from outside the sky, which made Zhou Yusheng stunned and stopped moving forward.
As soon as the words fell, Zhu Fang's body suddenly erupted, a surging evil qi, this momentum was like a storm, with the black wind on the surface of his body, under the effect of the black robe, like a balloon full of air, it suddenly expanded several times.
It is obviously a Buddhist exercise, but at this moment, it is like a ghost-like evil spirit.
Do you know how uncomfortable it is for this so-called Buddha, the kind of suppression that wants to kill people every day, like eating bones? But fortunately, today, I took back the things of the Lin family. I'll be able to go home. ”
He stared with satisfaction at the evil spirits that surrounded him, and these ghosts opened their mouths and made a sound like metal grinding at the same time.
"What is that. ”
The ghosts clutched Takekata's limbs and whimpered faintly.
In Zhou Yusheng's impression, it was the first time he had seen this kind of weird exercise.
"Yijin Sutra! Buddhism exercises! You have also been in Lingzhu Peak for two years, why don't you even know this? He smiled helplessly.
I saw that Zhufang's arm that was absorbed by the ghost, under the one by one of the black ghosts, the originally thin arm suddenly swelled out of thin air as if it was full of qi, and it was more than the original thicker circle.
What's even more surprising is that the originally dry skin, under the sunlight, reflects a cold metallic luster, which seems to be indestructible, and even the sword in Zhou Yusheng's hand doesn't seem to be able to pierce the arm like a turtle shell.
"Is this the Yijin Sutra of Buddhism? No, Buddhism exercises shouldn't be so evil. ”
Seeing this, Zhou Yusheng's heart sank, and the one hand that grabbed the hilt of the sword trembled a little, after all, he had too little experience in fighting people, just with the great change in the opponent's momentum and the evil of his hands, he felt that even his breath was a lot heavier.
However, Zhou Yusheng firmly grasped Kongxue's arm, and his calm face did not show the slightest weakness of heart, as if he was ignoring Zhufang's proud look.
He swung his sword with one hand, and with the flip of his wrist, the purple sparrow made a crescent-like arc in the air.
Leaning forward, in an instant, he grabbed the other palm of the hilt of the sword, and the scarred arm was exposed in front of the sleeve loop under the fierce sound of the wind.
Zhou Yusheng didn't show too much panic, his shoulders shook slightly, and the whole person blurred all of a sudden, and under the eyes of Zhu Fang, his body flickered like a wisp of light smoke, and rushed straight ahead.
Zhu Fang was also surprised to see this ghostly body, but the pair of silver-white palms immediately pinched at this time, and between the five fingers, there was immediately a sound like the ringing of a bell, the sound was thick and long.
Suddenly, those arms turned into silver-white screens, shrouding all the light smoke under them, without the slightest intention of letting go of the rest of his life.
"Bodhidharma swordsmanship? No! The footsteps of the lost steps are wrong, it seems that it is just a swordsmanship similar to the Bodhidharma swordsmanship. ”
He looked at Zhou Yusheng's suddenly disappearing figure, and suddenly appeared like a shapeshifter, his face changed slightly, and he muttered in surprise.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept in front of him as sharp as a knife, and Zhou Yusheng, who appeared again in front of him, grabbed the hand of the purple finch and suddenly lifted it upward, and the other hand was vacant and clamped the arm of Zhu Fang that was about to rise.
But the disparity in strength was too great, and the green tendons on his arms grabbed the purple sparrow like a tree trunk and soared all the way, and the silver-white arm arched up, breaking free from Zhou Yusheng's palm in an instant.
The corners of Zhu Fang's mouth showed a mocking look, and his entire silver-white arm was forcibly submerged into the sword light, without the slightest thought of wanting to avoid it.
With a crisp sound of the "bell", Zhou Yusheng's purple finch slashed to the silver giant palm, and with his voice, not only did it not hurt the other party's fur, but it was bounced upside down.
Zhu Fang took this opportunity to turn over his palm, and flicked Zhou Yusheng, who was holding the purple sparrow, on the blade that was too late to retract, Zhou Yusheng felt that the hand holding the purple finch couldn't stop trembling, and the palm of his hand was out of force, and the thing in his hand "swished", flew out diagonally, and slammed it into Kong Xue's side.
"Mantis arm as a car!" his tone was indifferent, and there was a hint of impatience in his expression.
"Brother for the rest of my life. She shook her steps, pulled the purple sparrow beside her out of the ground, grabbed the hilt of the purple sparrow as a crutch, and walked towards Zhou Yusheng with difficulty.
"Buddha, what a bullshit avenue. He sneered.
"In this world, only the strong are respected. Therefore, all those who disobey this last word are only those who are still struggling with the weak. ”
This is the so-called principle of the Great Dao in Buddhism. All the way, the sneer on the corner of his mouth remained the same, accompanied by a bit of sarcastic mockery from time to time, and his fanatical gaze revealed a touch of paranoia,
It wasn't until he walked in front of Zhou Yusheng that the gloomy sneer stopped abruptly, looking at the body that was barely supported by the purple sparrow.
"Kong Xue, do you know why the Lin family exterminated your clan back then?" he said lightly.
"Because!" he leaned closer to Sorayuki's ear.
At this moment, his true face that he had disguised for a hundred years finally burst out from his desire to endure it.
"What you have in your hands is the key that can directly affect the entire Lin family's pattern. ”
