Chapter 15: The New World
According to the work plan, there was nothing to do here in the afternoon, so after seeing the two people enter, he explained to Zhou Kang and asked him to inform Mao Jianjun, and left the hotel directly.
Originally, he planned to return to the TV station and deal with the video materials that Ji Yan needed, but after the strange things he encountered in the past few days, he had just seen the special situation of that pair of young men and women, which gave rise to some special questions in his heart.
These questions could not be answered by the Divine Leader, but he thought that someone might be able to give him an answer.
I had only walked long after getting on the bus when my phone suddenly rang.
Xu Zhuo looked down and found that it was Li Gang's phone.
"What? What did you forget to say? Or is there something wrong with Brother Mao? Xu asked curiously.
Li Gang's voice was obviously deliberately suppressed when the phone came.
"Hello? Xu Zhuo, those two guys ran out again just now and asked us where you went. You really don't know them? How do I look at them, like they're looking for something? ”
"Ask me? Ask me what to do? I don't know them. Xu was stunned. How do you answer? ”
"Nonsense, of course I'm not going to tell them the truth. I pointed them in the opposite direction, and now they're chasing them that way. ”
"That's good. Thank you. ”
"Thanks for the ball! Think about it, when have you offended them? Why else do they care so much about you? That man must be a rich second generation, if you really want to make trouble, you have to be careful. Of course, don't be so afraid, what we say is also a person in the media circle, and it's really not okay to expose them. Now these things are strictly grasped, and they don't dare to really mess around......"
Xu Zhuo was so crying and laughing by him: "Okay, it's not that serious, it is estimated that some things have been misunderstood." Okay, okay, I'll be careful. ”
After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhuo glanced back at the hotel building that had been left behind, thinking that those two people came to find him, and it must have been because he saw that he was special.
But just now, the girl shook hands with herself, and probed herself with that special pale cyan aura, but she didn't say anything special, why did she come back to the door now?
Could it be that the girl suddenly thought of something wrong?
"Hey, Iron Pillar, you're not going to be discovered by that girl just now, are you?"
"No, it won't. I am now deep in your sea of consciousness, unless I use exercises like searching for gods** to probe your sea of consciousness, it is impossible to discover my existence. ”
"And what was that girl doing?"
"She just checked your physical body with mana, judging from the situation, it was speculated to be good, so there is no need to worry."
"Oh......"
Xu Zhuo put his mind at ease, looked at the dozens of passengers in the bus, gave up the idea of cultivating the Goutian Yuzhen Sutra on the bus, honestly closed his eyes slightly, and drove towards the destination while recuperating.
About an hour and a half later, Xu Zhuo reversed four buses and finally arrived at his destination, at the foot of Baolian Mountain, about 20 kilometers northwest of Jianghuai City.
Looking up at this Baolian Mountain, which had only come once a day before yesterday, Xu Zhuo actually had a feeling of being in a different world.
There were so many things that happened in the past two days that he felt like it had only been more than two days, as if it had been a long time.
According to the trajectory of the mountain the day before yesterday, it took him about half an hour to climb close to the top of the mountain and come to the gate of the Great Bodhi Temple.
Compared with the day before yesterday, the flow of people in both the entire Baolian Mountain and the Great Bodhi Temple today is much less, after all, today is not a weekend, nor is it the day when the Great Bodhi Temple will be held, so Xu Zhuo entered the mountain gate very easily.
However, when the monk in charge of the reception heard that Xu Zhuo had actually come to see Master Zhenru, his eyes when he looked at him changed instantly.
"This benefactor, Master Zhenru is in retreat and is temporarily unable to receive guests, please forgive the little monk for not being able to agree to your request."
Xu Zhuo smiled, thinking that the master is really not something that ordinary people can see if they want to, but fortunately, he is no longer an ordinary person.
Touching out the token given to him by the innocent master from his arms, the monk looked at Xu Zhuo's eyes again, and his expression was a little frightened.
"It turns out that a distinguished guest is coming from afar, please come with the little monk."
On the side, several tourists who were waiting in line to enter the Dabodhi Temple could only watch Xu Zhuo being led in from another door by the monk of Zhike, and their expressions were dissatisfied.
In this damn world, you can even enter a temple through the back door, it's so unfair!
Soon, Xu Zhuo met the little novice who served Master Zhenru last time, and then under the guidance of the little novice, he came to the small courtyard in the backyard of the Great Bodhi Temple to see Master Zhenru again.
As soon as he saw Master Zhenru, Xu Zhuo was taken aback.
Compared with the day before yesterday, Master Zhenru's expression was a little more tired, and the trace of aura that came out of his body that made Xu Zhuo feel uncomfortable was also much thicker, and he was obviously not in a good state.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
"Out of the way." Master Zhenru smiled and waved his hand. "Master Xu, I thought you would come back to see Lao Wei after a while, but I didn't expect to come today. It seems that you must have encountered something unexpected for you in the past two days? ”
Xu Zhuo glanced at Master Zhenru, hesitated slightly, then sat down cross-legged in front of him, thought for a while, and asked, "Master, did you already see something the day before yesterday?" ”
"Master Xu, what do you think the old man has seen?" Master Zhenru asked with a smile.
Xu Zhuo smiled bitterly: "Master, don't let me fight, I'm just a layman, you better tell me what's going on." ”
"Master Xu, you might as well tell me what you have encountered in the past two days."
"This ......"
Xu Zhuo frowned and thought about it carefully, and picked up some strange things that he had encountered in the past two days.
He naturally wouldn't reveal anything about the God Sealing List and the True Spirit of the Stove God, so he didn't reveal the attack last night, focusing on the trace of black gas that he saw on the back of Ji Yan's head.
When he heard Xu Zhuo say that he had met the pair of young men and women today, the strange aura of pale cyan on the young man and woman, Master Zhenru, who had been listening quietly, smiled slightly.
"They are disciples of the Qingshui Sect."
"Shimizu Sect? What is that? Xu was stunned.
Master Zhenru didn't answer, but just stared at Xu Zhuo with both eyes, and after looking at it quietly for a while, he continued: "Master Xu, do you really want to know the answer to this question?" ”
Xu Zhuo frowned and asked in wonder, "What does this mean?" Is there anything wrong with knowing this answer? ”
"Nope. It's just that after knowing this answer, it is very likely that you will enter a new world that you have never been exposed to, and the old man doesn't know if you are ready. ”
Xu Zhuo spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Do you think it would be useful for me even if I wasn't ready?" ”
Master Zhenru nodded slightly: "That's true." The karma has been decided, but it is not something that the benefactor can avoid if you want to. ”
Xu Zhuo didn't speak, staring at Master Zhenru with wide eyes.
The master was silent for a long time, and then slowly opened his mouth.
"Master Xu, I don't know what you think of myths and legends, fairies, devils and monsters?"
Xu Zhuo tugged at the corners of his mouth, thought about it, and responded with a little hesitation: "If it was a few days ago...... I'm sure I think it's all......"
"And now?"
Xu Zhuo smiled bitterly again.
Just three days ago, he was a staunch atheist, but what had happened in the past few days, especially at this time, was in his head...... To be precise, the Fengshen List in his sea of knowledge clearly told him that his previous understanding was probably not so accurate.
Although he still doesn't believe too much in myths and legends, fairies, devils and monsters are true, for example, he still doesn't fully believe that it's okay if he doesn't fully believe in what the Fengshen List says, but these things still shake his long-standing beliefs.
"Myths and legends say that Lao Ge has no chance to see it with his own eyes, so he doesn't dare to assert it, but immortals, devils, and monsters, Lao Ge can say one or two."
"Huh?" Xu Yi's eyes widened again.
Forget about ghosts or something, are immortals and demons really like the master has seen them?
"Regarding the deeds of immortals and demons, whether it is the Sumeru Mountain Gate where the old man is located, or the Qingshui Sect where the pair of young men and women you see today, as well as the major cultivation sects in the world, there are corresponding historical records, although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I think it is somewhat credible. As for the goblins......"
"Wait!" Xu Zhuo couldn't help but interrupt Master Zhenru's words. "Master, what are you talking about, what are these Sumeru Mountain Gates and Qingshui Sects?"
"In terms of secular common sense, the Sumeru Mountain Gate is the cultivation sect where the old man is located, which belongs to the Zen sect of Buddhism, and the Qingshui sect is the cultivation sect where the pair of young donors are located, which belongs to the earthly practice and is partial to Confucianism. In addition, there are a lot of cultivation sects that have been handed down today, and the old man can't know everything, but if you want to come to Xu Shi, you should have the fate to see one or two in the future. ”
That is to say...... What are the cultivation truths that can only be found in those novels, are they all true? ”
"Cultivating a way, self-cultivation, cultivation, and truthfulness, and finally becoming a great road, this is where the thoughts of our generation lie, as for becoming an immortal and becoming a Buddha, it can only be regarded as an incidental goal, so the novelist said, although most of them are false, but there are also some true."
Xu Zhuo was a little confused by what Master Zhenru said.
"Then what is the black gas on the back of Ji Yan's head that I just said? Could it be some kind of demonic way? ”
"There is a difference between good and evil in cultivators, and the trace of black qi attached to the body of the Ji Nu benefactor ......" Speaking of this, the master suddenly sighed softly. I'm afraid it has something to do with the old man. The day before yesterday, the old man should have reminded you, but he was negligent. However, listening to what Xu Shi said, the black gas has been dissolved by Xu Shi Zhu, which is good. ”
"Speaking of which, master, why can I dissolve that trace of black qi? I didn't belong to any sect of cultivation, and I didn't study cultivation. Xu Zhuo frowned.
Master Zhenru looked at Xu Zhuo and showed an intriguing smile.
"But the old man doesn't know this."
Xu Zhuo looked at Master Zhenru, and thought to himself that Master Zhenru might see that he had reservations, so he also had reservations about himself.
I'm afraid I won't be able to ask too much if I stay here, so I'll have to leave it for later.
He got up to say goodbye, but the master didn't stay.
"This ...... True Master, I'm afraid I will have a lot of questions for you in the future, I don't know ......"
"Lord Xu has a relationship with the old man, and he is willing to do some discussions with the old man, and the old man is very happy. But every time I travel a long way like this, it's really inconvenient to come to see the old man......"
Xu Zhuo's spirit perked up: "That ......"
As a touch of the master's waist, he actually took out a square mobile phone and probed it in front of Xu Zhuo.
"Add me on WeChat."
Xu Zhuo: "......"
