At this time, there was a young monk standing here at the mouth of the valley, who should be waiting for Chu Ziheng and Ruoyun.

When Chu Ziheng saw this young monk, he stepped forward and saluted: "I have seen Master Shuyi, let Master wait for a long time!" ”

Because the two of them have been talking outside for a long time, I am afraid that this Shuyi master has been waiting for a long time, Chu Ziheng first apologized to others.

"It's okay, the two donors came just in time, and the fruit should be about to bear fruit at this time, please come with me!" Shuyi nodded at everyone.

On the way, Chu Ziheng introduced to Ruoyun that this Shuyi Master was the closed disciple of the Master of Emptiness.

Since the retirement of the Master of Emptiness, he sometimes goes out to visit his friends, but most of the time he lives in this forbidden place with his apprentice, waiting for no visitors!

When the men entered the valley, a spring flowed down from above on the west side of the valley, and formed a shallow lake on the large rocks on the ground.

There are several stone houses built near the lake, but they are quiet and comfortable.

There are also some melons, fruits and vegetables planted in the courtyard in front of the stone house, and a stone table and a few stone benches are placed in the open space.

This scene is not like the place where the monk lives, but like the leisurely residence of someone's old peasant.

"Guys, please sit down and rest for a while, this Lianli tree should be about to bear fruit, a few of you wait here for a while!" Shuyi pointed to the stone table and said.

Then, following her vision, Ruoyun saw that on the valley wall in mid-air where the spring to the west flowed, there was a small tree growing inconspicuously.

This is really a very small tree, visually it is more than two feet high, at this time the tree is bare only a few small white flowers, if it were not for the guidance of this master, everyone would probably think that this is just a dead wood.

Moreover, Ruoyun was not only a little embarrassed when she looked at the position of the tree chief, but thanks to her coming today, if she was an ordinary woman, she might not be able to pick this Lianli fruit.

Because this tree is next to the spring, it is in the middle of the air, and it seems to be more than three meters high, and the rock wall is very steep straight up and down, and the spring water has formed a layer of moss on it all year round, which is unusually slippery.

How could ordinary girls who have no power to restrain chickens have such a ability, climb to such a high position under this splashing spring, and pick this fruit for their other half with their own hands!

Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly everyone smelled a strange fragrance, and saw that the few small white flowers of the Lianli tree suddenly began to shake slightly on the branches without wind.

And this strange fragrance is slowly emitted by these small flowers with their own trembling, very fresh, and suddenly gives people a feeling of fascination.

"This is the result of Lian Liguo!" Seeing this, he explained to everyone.

Sure enough, when everyone stared intently at the fruit tree, they saw that the small white flowers on it began to fall off little by little, and after a while, several small flowers on the tree all fell off.

In the place where the flowers used to grow, after the flowers fell off, a little bit of small cyan balls appeared, and the strange fragrance in the air also faded.

These little blue balls seemed to be competing, one moment the one grew a circle, the other one deflated a point, and after a tug-of-war, there were two small balls that seemed to have the upper hand, and the longer ones were larger than the other fruits.

Then, the color of the two small balls began to change, and some purple halos appeared on the cyan fruit, and this purple halo slowly spread, and then wrapped the whole small fruit.

Until, when two of the fruits were completely wrapped in the purple halo first, the other fruits began to slowly dry up as if they had lost their abilities.

It was as if their energy had been absorbed by the two purple fruits, and they were rapidly shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye until they disappeared, while the two purple fruits were slowly growing.

Eventually, all the other fruits were gone, except for the two that had turned purple and purple, the size of a baby's fist, and still on the branches.

The two larger fruits shook gently on the branches like victorious generals, and then the branches they were on slowly drew closer to each other.

At this time, their original purple-red and purple-red color has become red and red, and the whole fruit is shrouded in a reddish halo.

Then, the moment the red halos of the two fruits intersected, the red light on the two fruits flashed, and then the red light in the two places merged.

Looking at these two fruits again, everyone knew why they were called Lianli fruits, because at this time, these two fruits really seemed to be the newlyweds who were about to get married, wearing bright red clothes, and the red light that intersected on their bodies was like the groom holding the bride's red silk, and the two fruits leaned against each other as if they were worshipping heaven and earth.

From a distance, these two fruits are bathed in red light, extremely dazzling, and a sense of happiness seems to be wandering between the two fruits, so that the people below are not only dazzled, it is really a beautiful moment!

"It is finished, this fruit is ripe and ready to be picked!" Seeing this scene, a smile also appeared on his face.

"It's really natural selection, survival of the fittest, even such a beautiful thing, it turns out that it has to go through a competition to bear the most beautiful fruit!" Ruoyun looked at the magical process of the fruit on the tree, and not only sighed.

"Lord Bai, if you have a heart, everything that comes to this world comes with his mission, as long as you complete your mission and follow the laws of this world, you will have a new world after reincarnation!" Hearing Ruoyun's emotion, he suddenly replied.

Ruoyun was stunned when he heard this, is it a mission?

And what is her mission and responsibility? Why did you suddenly come into this world?

Now, although she has cultivated to the early stage of foundation building, and seems to have a trace of the ability to communicate with heaven and earth, she still doesn't know what her responsibility is when she comes here!

She just adheres to her own heart, does what she should do, does what she thinks is right, protects the people she wants to protect, helps those she can help, is not hypocritical, not a virgin, she chooses to be like an ordinary person, live with seven emotions and six desires, do what she likes to do, that's all.

"Yun'er, we're going to pick fruits!" Chu Ziheng's words interrupted Ruoyun's stunned expression.

Ruoyun looked at him and found that he was filled with a sense of excitement and happiness at this time, looking at the fruit full of anticipation.

Ruoyun is suddenly not so confused in her heart, why do you want to do so much, just enjoy the moment, and enjoy the warmth and love brought to her by her relatives and lovers in this life!

"Okay, let's go pick the fruit!" Ruoyun also showed a bright smile on his face, and nodded.

Although the fruit grows at a height of more than three meters, and there are slippery walls and spring water that flows from top to bottom, for Ruoyun and Chu Ziheng, these difficulties are not worth mentioning.

I saw that the two walked side by side to the shallow water of the spring, looked up at the Lian Li fruit on it, and then looked at each other again, their eyes were full of tacit understanding.

Next, the two of them leaped up at the same time, to be precise, they flew up, and the two fluttering figures reached the parallel position of the Lianli tree in an instant.

The two of them stretched out their hands at the same time, and each of them gently supported a fruit, and then a red fruit appeared in each hand.

The two of them have a very tacit understanding, these actions are done in one go, only completed in the blink of an eye, and everyone watching from a distance only feels that the two figures are elegant, full of tacit understanding, the man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, just like a fairy couple, very pleasing to the eye.

"Yun'er, open your mouth!"

"Ziheng, open your mouth!"

The two said this almost at the same time.

Saying this, both of them laughed, and then both said, "Good! ”

Gently fed the fruit in his hand to the other party.

The fruit melts in your mouth and has a fragrant fragrance, but the taste is bitter, very bitter and difficult to swallow.

But none of them spit it out because it was unpalatable, but chewed it carefully and swallowed it slowly.

However, when the juice of the fruit passed through the mouth and into the throat, an infinitely sweet taste spread in the mouth, and all the bitter taste in the mouth was washed away.

"This fruit is bitter in the mouth, but sweet in the throat, just like the marriage between men and women in this world, first bitter and then sweet, if you can't stand the bitterness of the beginning, then you can't taste the sweetness of the later, congratulations to the two donors, you have endured the bitterness of the fruit, and you will get more fragrant and sweet in the future!" Seeing that the two of them had eaten the Lianli fruit, he made a mockery and said.

"Thank you, Master!" The two returned the salute.

Then they all looked at each other, with surprise in their eyes, with surprise!

Because after the two of them ate this fruit, they suddenly felt that they had a sense of heart-to-heart with each other, and this feeling was integrated into the blood, as if the other party's every move could be perceived in advance, so amazing!

At this time, they also sensed the unwavering friendship that each other conveyed to their bodies, so they were all happy and surprised!

"The family teacher is waiting for the two donors in the meditation room, please come with me!" Shuyi nodded slightly.

"Okay, I should go and thank the Master of Emptiness!" Chu Ziheng nodded, and then took Ruoyun to the meditation room behind Shuyi.

As for their entourage, they are not qualified to enter the meditation room, and they are all waiting outside here.

In a meditation room, Shuyi whispered at the door: "Master, the two donors have arrived!"

"Come in, two donors!" A low, slightly aged voice came from inside.

"Two donors, please come in!" He opened the door and invited the two of them in, while he himself stayed outside the door.

Chu Ziheng and Ruoyun crossed the threshold and walked into this meditation room.

The meditation room is very simple, all gray tones, and only a bright yellow color is on a Buddha statue enshrined in the shrine.

There is a futon on the ground under the shrine, and at this time, with his back to the door, is sitting a large monk wearing gray monk's robes, chanting sutras in a low voice.

After the two of them entered, Shuyi closed the door outside.

When the two entered the room, they didn't bother when they saw that the master of emptiness was chanting, but stood aside and waited quietly.

After a while, the Master of Emptiness finished reading the last sentence in his mouth before he slowly stood up, turned around and said, "Let the two donors wait for a long time, sit inside!" ”

Ruoyun was slightly stunned when she saw the Void Master who turned around, because she felt a familiar aura from this Void Master.

"Master Bai, why are you surprised?" I have to say that this old monk has become a refinement, Ruoyun just had such a slight expression, and she found out.

"I've seen the Master of Emptiness, it's nothing special, I just feel that the aura on the master's body is very familiar!" Ruoyun said directly, and as he spoke, he followed the two of them to the table inside and sat down.

"Bai Shi Master, haven't you seen someone with the same breath as me!" When the master of emptiness heard this, his eyes flashed, and the momentum on his body was no longer the indifferent momentum just now, but became a lot sharper.

"Indeed!" Ruoyun nodded.

"Where is he?" The Master of Emptiness couldn't help but ask.

"I'm afraid I can't tell the master about this without my consent!"

Ruoyun saw that the Master of Emptiness, a high-ranking monk, was not calm, thinking that this person was very important to him, but he didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend, so she still couldn't say it to him lightly.

The Master of Emptiness obviously didn't give up, and looked at Ruoyun for a long time with his crystal bright eyes.

Perhaps, if it were someone else, in the sharp eyes of the Master of Emptiness, who seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, he would have to tell the truth a long time ago.

However, at this time, the Void Master's eyes were like clouds, and this situation was different.

She just looked at the eyes of the master of emptiness with a faint smile, and there was no trace of affection in her eyes!

The Master of Emptiness saw such a Ruoyun with a clear look of surprise in his eyes, no one had ever been able to deal with it so easily under his gaze, not even the first emperor, but this white girl was so comfortable and indifferent, it suddenly made him feel a sense of frustration.

"Master of Emptiness, is there anything important?" Chu Ziheng saw that the Void Master was competing with Ruoyun, and there was a slight displeasure in his heart, although she knew that Ruoyun would not be harmed, but he didn't like others to treat Ruoyun like this, even if this person was an Void Master who was respected by him, so he interrupted the Void Master's eyes.

The emptiness was interrupted by Chu Ziheng's words, and then he was slightly stunned, as if he had just woken up from a dream, and said to Ruoyun with some apologies: "I'm sorry, Bai Shizhu, it's the old man who is looking for him, but this person is the person that the old man has been looking for in recent decades, so he will lose his temper, Bai Shizhu forgive me!" ”

"The master is too modest, but I don't know why the master is looking for this person?" Ruoyun asked.

"Actually, the old man didn't have any malicious intent in looking for this person, this person is the old man's senior brother. Lao Gao's master, Master Jiren, has only accepted two disciples in his life, one is my senior brother's emptiness, and the other is Lao Gao's emptiness, and the person I am looking for is my senior brother Master Void Phase! Emptiness closed his eyes and said with his hand grinding Buddha beads.

"The master actually has a senior brother, and Master Jiren actually has a big disciple?" Chu Ziheng asked in surprise.

Because this Master Jiren is the abbot of the previous generation of Huangming Temple, the Buddhism is profound and exquisite, and he lived until he was 150 years old before he died, and was known as the reincarnation of the living Buddha by the world.

But everyone always thought that Master Jiren only had one disciple of Master Void, but they didn't expect that he also had a big disciple.

"My senior brother is obsessed with Buddhism and never pays attention to the world, and when he was in front of the master, he rarely saw visitors, so he rarely heard of it outside!" The Master of Emptiness sighed.

"Back then, I was young and vigorous and good at dealing with the world, but the senior brother rarely paid attention to these, and later after the master passed away, according to the regulations, it should have been the senior brother who inherited the position of host, but the senior brother didn't want to pay attention to the world, so he directly gave way to me!"

"At that time, I had too many entanglements in the world, I was not deep in Buddhism, my Buddha's heart was unstable, and I inherited the throne at the beginning, and because it was the reason why my senior brother gave way, I was instigated by others, and I was dissatisfied with my senior brother, and I often disturbed my senior brother's cultivation unreasonably, so that my senior brother finally left the temple alone, and there is no news so far!" The Master of Emptiness still had his eyes closed, but from his tone, Ruoyun and the others could hear a trace of unease.

"Now, time has passed, and Lao Ge has devoted himself to cultivating Buddhism, and every time he looks back on the past with his senior brother, he blames himself, because Lao Ge failed to understand his senior brother's painstaking efforts back then! So I always wanted to find my senior brother and explain to him face to face! ”

"However, now that so many years have passed, there is no news of the senior brother, and the old man is afraid that something will happen to the senior brother, and he is worried about it, so that this matter has become the old man's heart disease, and he can't meditate when he cultivates Buddhism, so he will lose his temper when he hears the words of the white benefactor!"

Master of Emptiness, such a high-ranking monk, but so calmly told the two juniors Ruoyun and Chu Ziheng about his past mistakes, this calmness and big belly are indeed admirable.

Thinking about it, he also misses this senior brother very much in his heart.

"Master, please rest assured, now the Master of the Void Phase is fine, but about the whereabouts of the Master of the Void Phase, without his consent, I can't say anything!" Ruoyun said slightly.

"It's difficult for the old man, what Bai Shizhu said is reasonable, today I can learn that the senior brother is well, and the old man is also an unexpected gain, and he shouldn't force it! Senior brother can have a little friend like Bai Shizhu who is dedicated to maintenance, and the old man is also happy for the senior brother! As he spoke, his eyes, which had been closed, opened, and there was a look of indifference in his eyes.

"Thank you, Master!" Ruoyun nodded.

Next, the three of them talked a lot about Buddhist words and Zen scriptures in the empty room, and Ruoyun found that this empty master was worthy of being admired by the world, and the Dharma was really exquisite.

Ruoyun's cultivation is actually similar to their cultivation of Buddha, so after listening to the lecture of the Master of Emptiness, he has some inspiration in his cultivation.

However, Ruoyun still found that this Void Master was indeed slightly behind his senior brother, the Void Master.

The Master of Emptiness is like a calm Buddha statue, with a restrained momentum and unfathomable heritage. And the master of emptiness is sharp and a little outward, but the background is not as deep as his senior brother.

The three of them had a good conversation, perhaps because they knew the news of the Master of Void Phase today, and the Master of Emptiness was in a good mood, and even invited the two of them to stay for fasting.

The food is all the things they planted self-sufficiently at the door, all of which are made from local materials, and the rice is cooked by Master Shuyi, but I didn't expect this young and handsome monk to be able to cook a good meal, although the ingredients are not as good as those produced by Ruoyun Space, but it is really a different flavor.

After the meal, Ruoyun and Chu Ziheng said goodbye to the Master of Emptiness, and took a good tour of the back mountain of the Huangming Temple, until the sky was dyed with twilight, and then left the temple.

Because they want to avoid suspicion, the two still can't go back at the same time.

Chu Ziheng and his guards were on horseback, so they chose the small road, while the carriage that Ruoyun was sitting in was on the main road.

This little couple's one-day date is only over in the reluctance of the two.

Ruoyun and his party walked on the main road, and the sky suddenly became a little dark, and there was a faint sound of muffled thunder coming from far and near the air.

"The girl is going to change!" Donghong opened the curtain to look at the sky outside, not only frowned, summer is like this, it looked like a sunny sky, and it changed the sky when it changed.

"Third brother, it's going to change, it's okay!" Ruoyun asked Lei Laosan, who was driving outside.

After all, the girls are in the carriage, even if it rains, they can't get wet, but Lei Laosan is outside, although there is a canopy to protect from the rain, but it should also be drenched.

"Don't worry, girl, we grew up by the sea, what is this little water!" Lei Laosan laughed and said, but he still sped up the horsewhip, in case it was too big, and the road was not easy to walk, it would be a little troublesome!

"Okay, listen to the third brother! Let's hurry into the city, it's convenient! Ruoyun said.

"But, girl, it seems that some people don't want us to enter the city so soon!" Lei Laosan's horsewhip pointed far away.

In fact, Ruoyun had already discovered it without Lei Lao's three fingers, and there were more than a dozen figures in front of them rushing towards them at high speed, these people were full of murderous aura, and the target of those people's murderous aura was Ruoyun's carriage.

Ruoyun frowned, swept it with his divine sense, and found that because of the rain, there were no other people passing by, so he relaxed his brows!

Needless to say, the target of these killers must be her, so she doesn't want innocent people to be implicated, and now that there is no one nearby, it's just right.

"Girl, the other party seems to have a hard idea, what should I do?" Lei Laosan said with a smile, although he said that the other party was powerful, but there was no trace of fear on his face.

And Ruoyun saw the feeling of excitement and excitement from him, not only smiled: "Third brother, don't do it yet, it just so happens that there are few scenes of Donghong and Donglan, since a few practitioners have been sent today, let the two of them practice their hands!" ”

"That's fine!" Lei Laosan said with a smile, and then said to Dong Hong and Dong Lan, who were a little nervous and excited: "Don't be afraid, two little girls, how about the third brother sweep the formation for you!" ”

The two of them also laughed when they heard this, "Okay, with the third brother sweeping the formation, the two of us can rest assured and bold!" ”R1152
