When I walked into the town, the door of the "Royal Inn" happened to open. A yawning young woman came out of it.

The noodles are very ...... Mu Wan walked over and asked with a smile: "May I ask the eldest sister, is the shopkeeper Wang there?" ”

"Shopkeeper Wang?" The young woman was stunned for a moment, and quickly, she reacted. She let out an "oh", "You mean Mrs. Wang, the former owner of this shop, right?" She was the best, she sold the store early and took her family back to her hometown. Who are you? ”

Mu Wan replied: "I used to be a buddy here for half a year. Passing by here, come and see the former owner. ”

The young woman looked her up and down and smiled, "You're a long-term lover." Mrs. Wang went back to her hometown before the army withdrew. The people who bought her shop back then also moved away. I am an Orion from Yunxi Mansion. The townspeople have almost all moved away, leaving many empty houses with no owners. We went into the mountains to hunt, and by the way, we helped the people in the town to bring some needles and threads. It's familiar, the empty houses here, they live with us. ”

Mu Wan nodded, pointed to the side of the forbidden area, and deliberately gossiped and asked, "The troops in the forbidden area have all withdrawn?" When was this? I used to hear the king's treasurer say that the army guards the temples in the mountains. There are a lot of monks in it. The army is gone, who will protect those monks? ”

The young woman is also a talkative, and she tells everything she knows like pouring beans.

It turned out that in the middle of the night three years ago, a fire suddenly broke out on the side of Tianwu Mountain. The firelight illuminated half the sky. The people of the town were awakened. Five days later, another army came in from outside. Ten days later. The army in the exclusion zone went with this army. When they left, they took away many monks. Those monks were in chains and chains, and they were tied up one by one. The people of the town came out to see the excitement.

"The shopkeeper Wang is very powerful, and on the second day of the fire in Tianwu Mountain, he sold the inn at a low price and took his family back to his hometown. When the army withdrew, everyone reacted, no matter how low the price was, no one would take over. The young woman sighed.

It turned out that the monks were convicted and kidnapped. Well, all the emperors of the world are virtuous! Mu Wan inquired about the news. A few words chimed in. Say goodbye and leave.

Back at the top of the mountain, she told Baili Creek the news of the discovery. The latter sighed with emotion: "The Fenghuang of Dong'an has always flaunted benevolence and righteousness to himself, but that's it. ”

Next, they went directly to Longxing Mountain.

According to Baili Creek. In the Great Qin Dynasty. Longxing Mountain has always been regarded as an ancestral land by the Great Qin royal family. But. Only the first two generations of Fenghuang came all the way to sacrifice a few days. The third Fenghuang thought that Longxing Mountain was remote and the mountain road was rugged, so he changed the place of worship to Xuanzhao Mountain. From now on. Few people from the royal family returned to Longxing Mountain to worship. Thousands of years have passed, if it weren't for the penultimate Fenghuang of Great Qin to print the "Commentary on the Great Qin Mountain Sutra" mentioning "Longxing Mountain", no one in the world would have remembered this mountain. In the Dong'an Dynasty, the founding Fengjun once sent troops to garrison Longxing Mountain. After three years of guarding, there was no trace of people at all. The general guarding the mountain asked the division to return to the court. dismissed; Later, it was the second Fengjun who ordered to transfer back to the Longxingshan garrison.

"I heard that there is an underground palace in Longxing Mountain, which was left by the ancestor and I went there once. It's a very tall and steep barren mountain. I walked around the mountains for days, found nothing, and returned empty-handed. ”

Mu Wan remembered the set of numbers that the old monster said in the dark forest, as well as the translation method, and hurriedly flipped out the "Commentary on the Great Qin Mountain Sutra" to rummage.

"Five, seventeen...... It's a 'step' word; six, three...... It's a 'bottom' word. At the bottom of the stairs, head due east, and walk ten steps. She looked up and asked, "Is there a big step in Longxing Mountain?" ”

Bailixi shook his head blankly: "I haven't seen the steps." ”

I know it's not that simple. Mu Wan accepted the book and spit out a breath of turbidity: "Go over first, take a look." ”

From Tianwu Mountain to Longxing Mountain, it is separated by more than 700 miles. In between, you have to pass through two towns: Yunxi Mansion and Nanhua City.

I've been to Baili Creek. According to him, there is a well-known nunnery in Yunxi Province in the south, Yunyin Nunnery. The whole city worships the Buddha. He himself dislikes going to Yunxi Mansion the most.

However, this is no longer the case. Bailixi, the imperial grandson of Great Qin, had already died in the glazed tower, and now, he just didn't give up, and he was the heir to the mantle of the national teacher. In order to find out the current state of Buddhism in Dong'an, he had to go to the city.

Anyway, by the way, and Mu Wan was also very concerned about the Taoism of the small world in the West, so she decided to go around the city with him.

No, they actually saw a new Taoist temple "Xiaoxi Temple" in the eastern suburbs of Yunxi Mansion. From the architectural form, the statues of the three Qing gods enshrined, to the dress of the Taoist priests in Guanli, they are all authentic Taoism. It is not like the Yunxia Temple at the foot of Shiqing Mountain, but it is just hung with the name of a Taoist temple, which is actually a temple.

The incense is very strong!

Could it be that Dong'an has changed? Mu Wan looked at the pilgrims coming in and out, and she felt "like a world away".

Bailixi frowned slightly, stepped forward, and whispered: "Daoist Mu, I want to inquire about what happened in Dong'an." ”

"Go and get back." Mu Wan nodded, very relieved: Bailixi is really different from before.

In the past, he was cynical, but he always showed weakness. When encountering things, the first thought is often to borrow male colors; And now he is self-reliant and self-reliant, has an independent personality, has a peaceful mind, and can look at things in the world objectively. It can be said that he has grown into a qualified Taoist cultivator.

Although Bailixi did not have mercy from the heavens, he also returned to his childhood and started again, however, he had overcome himself in the suffering, like being reborn from the fire. His change is more difficult, more precious, and more worthy of respect than hers.

The prodigal son turned back and did not change the money, Baili Creek, and really did it.

She couldn't help but cheer for him, and at the same time, from the bottom of her heart, she was happy and proud of him.

On the way, Bailixi also bought a luggage wooden rack. He carried Liangzi on his back and walked into the creek view. More than a quarter of an hour later, he came out with a smile on his face.

It seems that I have heard good news. Mu Wan glanced at her and walked straight into the woods.

It was only when she reached a secluded place that she stood still.

Bailixi followed and said happily: "Dong'an takes Buddhism as the state religion, but there is also a Fenghuang who does not believe in Buddhism. ”

Just like when Huikong met an unbelieving Great Qin Fenghuang, the third Fenghuang of Dong'an was actually an unbeliever in Buddhism. She had long wanted to attack the Buddhas who were getting bigger and bigger. When she received the military report from Tianwu Mountain, she felt that it was time to teach the Buddhas a lesson. Therefore, His Majesty Fenghuang took the opportunity to attack, and in the name of "protecting the Buddha is not effective", he escorted the monks of Banshan Temple into Beijing as quickly as possible. The ministers in the court got a glimpse of the Sacred Heart, saw the book on the plane, and said that the new dynasty should have a new atmosphere, advocating the simultaneous development of Buddha and Taoism, and the implementation of a balanced policy. These words went to the heart of Emperor Feng. After all, Taoism has been inherited for a long time, and in the past, the people of Dong'an were under the high pressure of the forbidden Tao and did not dare to believe in Taoism. Now the imperial court announced the lifting of the ban, so Taoist temples have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain. Taking Yunxi Mansion as an example, four new Taoist temples were built in three years. The Creek View is just one of them.

After Bailixi finished speaking, he rubbed his palms and said happily: "If the great monk Huikong has a spirit in the underworld, I am afraid that he will be angry and come back to life." Back then, he confused the Feng Emperor of Great Qin, and the Daoists of Great Qin were not less angry with him. If it is the other way around, it will be the turn of the Buddhas in Dong'an to taste the spirit of the year. ”

Mu Wan smiled and asked softly, "It seems that you have always wanted to do what Huikong did back then and rebuild Great Qin?" ”

The smile on his face froze, and Bailixi was slightly stunned. After thinking about it, he replied, "I'm not Huikong, and I won't be Huikong." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Mu Wan asked deliberately.

Bailixi Zhengse said: "I teach in the small world of the West after this catastrophe, Shizun, as a national teacher, has been introspecting. The master said that at the beginning, our religion respected the royal family as an apologetic, and tried to use the secular political power to promote our religion, which was really too wrong. Those who cultivate the Tao should focus on cultivation. The experience of red dust is indispensable, but you must not be trapped in red dust and cannot extricate yourself. Therefore, the master set a rule, starting from me, and future generations are not allowed to enter the court. In addition to Shizun, my grandmother also had similar introspection. Ever since I was a child, I have been taught to take it as my duty to restore my country. It was my grandmother who eliminated the obsession in my heart. She told me that the Baili family has long been rotten to the point that it can't be rotten anymore, so what qualifications do they have to return to the country? My grandmother taught me that although the Baili family is a cultivator, few people are truly Taoist, and she wants me to stay away from the Baili family and the court in the future and become a real monk. I saw what happened to the monks of Banshan Temple, and just took a turn in the creek view, and suddenly found that the one who can defend and carry forward my religion has never been the Fenghuang Emperor or the prince's minister. The believers of the world, including all of our Taoist cultivators, are the true apologists. I don't know why, when he said this, he only felt that his heart was like a fire, hot and bright. It was an amazing feeling that he had never experienced before.

After listening to this, Mu Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Very good, after the Great Tribulation, the Daoists are all introspecting. The lesson was painful and bloody, but everyone remembered it. The true revival of the Taoism of the small world of the West is just around the corner!

Seeing that she was speechless, Bailixi's face turned red, and he asked weakly, "Daoist Mu, did I say something wrong?" ”

Mu Wanzhan chuckled: "Where." You're saying a good thing. Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years. Don't abandon Taoist friends, Mu has been taught. As she spoke, she clasped her fists and saluted.

When Bailixi heard this, his heart seemed to have poured a five-flavor bottle, sweet and sour, bitter and salty, and they all poured up. "Mu Daochang has won the award." He returned the gift and lowered his eyes to hide the affection in his eyes.

was praised by her, and his heart was as sweet as honey; However, in her heart, he was always just a "Taoist friend...... said that he would take her as an example, and from now on there will only be the Tao in his heart, but it is so difficult to do! After coming out of the glazed tower, he found that his love for her had increased instead of decreasing. These days, he only has her in his eyes and heart. When I opened my eyes, I saw her; I closed my eyes, and all I thought of was her.

What am I going to do? I promised my master, and from then on I only had the Tao in my heart...... He couldn't help but grit his teeth.

At this time, Ryoko stretched out a wing from the luggage rack behind him, tapped his back, and whispered, "What are you still standing here?" People are going to go away! ”

"Oh......" Bailixi hurriedly dismissed his distracting thoughts and quickly caught up with the cyan figure.
