Chapter 2 The Bitter Zen Mountain People

Hongdou and Master left overnight to avoid crying and crying when they said goodbye. www.biquge.info Xiang'er was still asleep, Kun didn't pay attention to Hongdou after she decided to leave, and Ah Ming and the boss and lady stood under the bleak moonlight to say goodbye to Kuzen and Hongdou.

"It's your choice to go, whether you have cultivated the Tao or not, remember to come back and have a look." The boss didn't say much, only stuffed the coils and clothes prepared by the proprietress to the red beans, and the proprietress also quietly stuffed a bracelet for the red beans, which was the dowry she prepared for the red beans. Red Bean held the hand of the proprietress and quietly looked at Ah Ming. From childhood to adulthood, this is the first time that Hongdou has seen Ah Ming cry.

Hongdou kept a thousand reluctances in his heart, and the smile on his face froze. "Boss, I'm ......" "Call Daddy." Hongdou suddenly had a sour nose and threw herself into the arms of the boss and the proprietress and cried.

"Dad, mother. Red beans are on the way. Don't worry. ”

From the beginning of his journey, Master Kuzen has been calling red beans Dou Xin. Dou Xin has few words, and there are even fewer bitter Zen words. The first night and the first day of the trip didn't say a word. The two men set out from the deserted inn, passed through the bustling bazaar, and crossed the rushing river bay by boat. On this day, it was the first time Dou Xin had seen so many people, and it was the first time he knew that water was so fierce. Master Kuzen has been accustomed to these for thousands of years, so he only cares about hurrying and ignores Dou Xin, who is full of curiosity.

When he got off the boat, the master suddenly asked, "Ah Xin, did your father mention Wu Guo Anya to you?" "Dou Xin has heard of Wuguo, but it is not said by his father, it is said by a storyteller. It was a national disaster about a thousand years ago, and it ended with the death of a swordsman. Dou Xin always felt bored, and he couldn't understand it, judging from the legends that have been circulated in the present world, there is nothing wrong with the Wu Kingdom. What's more, this kind of thing is nonsense, and Dou Xin has never let go of it. "Master, I don't know." Dou Xin Dao. "Today we are going to meet distinguished guests, don't talk nonsense." "Okay."

The first time the two of them settled in a large family villa. The people in the villa seemed to be waiting for the arrival of the master, and Dou Xin followed the master closely and rushed into the crowded hall.

"Shanren, after so many years, you have finally accepted an apprentice." The owner of the villa got down from the seat in the center of the lobby and invited Kuzen to take a seat. "Dou Xin, I've seen Lord Qi." Dou Xin saluted timidly. Lord Qi's evil face made her very uncomfortable.

"There was a phoenix in ancient times, and it was nirvana in five hundred years. Since the disappearance of the Wu Kingdom, there have been nearly two nirvana reincarnations. Now there is a resurgence in the kingdom of Umbo. Mountain man, you have experienced it, you come to make an idea. The smile on Lord Qi's face was unnatural.

Kuchan Mountain said: "The old man remembers the catastrophe of that year, the princess of Wuguo returned to China by the Yang Road, and the grass and trees withered wherever she went. The woman was just a newborn calf, and the power of destruction was already amazing. It's a pity that Guanlan Jun didn't know what demon magic was cast, so that the princess of Wuguo escaped. The old decay has been searching for a hundred years, except for the two monarchs of the Tianshan Mountains, everyone else knows nothing about the Wu Kingdom. Until the last time the Fire Phoenix Nirvana was attained, neither of them had reappeared. Guanlan Jun is afraid that his life is not guaranteed, but the Guanlan Sword is still in the world. The old man has been looking for the north and south of the river for many years, and he has also found clues of the Guanlan Sword. This time everyone was summoned to find the Guanlan Sword, and then force Yishan Jun out of the mountain to fight against the Wu Kingdom together. ”

Dou Xin suddenly remembered that his father had mentioned this Lord Qi, he was a heavenly official, responsible for organizing the sacrifice to the heavens, and was also responsible for divination when marching and fighting, and it was said that he had served the emperors of several dynasties, and his age had always been a mystery. Dou Xin looked around, and sure enough, the lobby was full of such yin and yang weird people. Who are these people? What is Master going to do? Dou Xin only felt that he had entered a den of madmen, and listening to this group of madmen talk crazy things was even more boring than in the inn.

Master and Master Qi chatted for a long time, and Dou Xin was drowsy on the side, and he didn't know when he had fallen asleep. When he woke up again, Dou Xin was already on the donkey's back, choked by the donkey's stench. Dou Xin looked around sleepily, she and her master were already in the mountains and forests. In autumn, the maple leaves are already red. Unlike the desolation of the inn, there is nothing but no one in the mountain forest. Kuzen led the donkey and cut off the half-human-high vines with a sickle, and when he saw Dou Xin wake up, he cleared his throat: "You girl can make me lose my old face, do you know how long you have been sleeping?" Dou Xin shook his head. Do you know where we're going and what we're going to do? Dou Xin shook his head again.

"Okay apprentice, then you come and choose where we are going now?" The vines in front of me have thinned a lot, revealing two paths, one left and one right, leading in completely different directions. Dou Xin's sleepiness dissipated a lot, but he was still confused. What the hell is Master going to do?" I do not know. Dou Xin replied simply. Dou Xin has never been to the mountains, so naturally he doesn't know, assuming that the master is really a thousand years old, he must be more familiar with this kind of place than himself, rather than guessing and looking for death with the master, it is better to be confused, the master is not afraid to live for a long time, he is only sixteen years old, too much of a loss.

"Coincidentally, I've done the math, you'll be able to find the right way." The master seemed to be smiling, and he saw Dou Xin's hair. Dou Xin ignored the master, closed his eyes, and sniffed the smell of the mountains and forests. The smell of rotting leaves is on the lower side, the stems of the vines have been broken, the sap flowing out is mixed with a sweet aroma, and there is a slight stench of anger from the wild thing that I don't know which wild thing has just used the tree in front of me as a hut. There was one more smell among the many smells, which Dou Xin seemed to have smelled, but couldn't remember what it was. Dou Xin had a feeling that this smell should not be here. Dou Xin's head turned slightly to the right and leaned forward, the source of the smell on the right.

"Master, right." Dou Xin nodded affirmatively. Kuzen laughed and praised Dou Xin. I don't know if it's an illusion, Dou Xin found that there was a little more evil in his master's smile.

Stepping on the path on the right, the smell became stronger and stronger, and Dou Xin's heart beat faster and faster. Dou Xin has seen a lot of ghosts and ghosts in Dou's Inn, and the fact that he can cry in a hurry will not make Dou Xin panic. But this time, Dou Xin felt himself trembling with nervousness.

At the end of the right is the cave, which is dark and cold. The master took out the candle and asked Dou Xin to light it, and the two of them entered the cave side by side. The deeper he went, the master seemed to see something in his peripheral vision. "Girl, have you ever heard that heroes are sad about the beauty pass?" Master said coldly, Dou Xin's hand shook, and the wax oil almost dripped on his hand. Dou Xin had to think about it a lot, since he entered the mountain, there were only two people, the master and himself, and he couldn't blame Dou Xin for not believing the master, and Dou Xin wouldn't feel too strange about what this weird old man did. Although Dou Xin is willing to be silent, he is by no means a person who despises himself, no matter when, what he shouldn't do is not to do it.

"Master and many other celestial officials and monks have been searching for the truth of that year. This time, I told them everything I guessed, but here, I'm going to verify it myself. It seems that everything else is fake, and the truth is here. Master's voice was hoarse with excitement, and Master snatched the candle from Dou Xin's hand and squatted on the ground. Looking at the firelight, there seemed to be something lying on the ground, like a girl, and the Master was taking off the girl's clothes. "Dou Xin, come here."

"Nope." Dou Xin took a step back. "Take off your clothes and come here!" Master's kind voice turned into a roar. Dou Xin leaned his back against the rock wall and touched a bulge, and the bulge began to peel off the moment it was touched by Dou Xin's hand. In the firelight, Master's face became hideous and terrifying, and the girl on the ground seemed to have a layer of powder blowing on her body. Dou Xin blinked fiercely, the girl had turned into a skeleton, glowing faintly blue in the firelight. Maybe the girl had already become a skeleton, but this special moment would arouse Dou Xin's conjecture.

"Whoever you are, I won't let you out of this cave alive." The master threw the candle aside, and the flame fell to the ground, and the flame disappeared in an instant. In the darkness, Dou Xin grabbed the bulge, pulled out something like a sword from it, and stabbed it in the direction of the master. "Criminals!"

The candle flame did not go out, it calmed down for a moment, and the candle that lay across the ground began to burn slowly again. Master's eyes widened, and his mouth was foaming with blood. Dou Xin drew his sword and watched with a blank face as his master fell to the ground. Master's eyes were fixed on the sword, and his hand was still greedily grabbing at Dou Xin. "Guan ......" Master used his last strength to spit out only one word vaguely.

The master died, and Dou Xin threw the sword on the ground. The wind from the sword blew out the candle flame. In the final light of the fire, Dou Xin watched as the sword jumped up like a living thing, stabbing into his chest impartially, and Dou Xin's entire body was nailed to the rock wall. Before closing his eyes, Dou Xin saw that the corpse was still flashing with a faint blue light.

Before Dou Xin could see the blood on his hands, he became in this state of immortality. For a few hours, Dou Xin only had his brain to move. Maybe the master is not a master in the first place, but he just uses this excuse to deceive a girl like herself who doesn't understand the world. Whoever can live for a thousand years, what witch kingdom, is all fake. The coils given by the mother were all in the hands of the master, and only a bracelet was left in Dou Xin's arms. It seems that this bracelet has not brought any blessing to himself. Dou Xin secretly scolded himself for deserving it, after coming out of the inn, every scene he experienced was self-inflicted, and he couldn't complain about anyone.

There was no living creature in the cave, only water flowing endlessly. The sound of water droplets was ethereal and pleasant in the cave, and it was the only thing that could calm Dou Xin's mind.

"Eighty-six thousand four hundred and one, eighty-six thousand four hundred and two......" Suddenly, Dou Xin felt a sound, not from his ears, but directly into his brain. Dou Xin ......" the voice shouted indistinctly.

Dou Xin couldn't tell whether the voice was male or female, so he could only secretly think, "Who are you?" The voice seemed to be able to listen directly to Dou Xin's heart, and said in a clearer voice: "Shall we make a deal?" With your life. ”
