The man's silver hair shone like silver threads in the rising sun, and at the same time, his eyes were deeper and brighter.

The two little monks were attracted by the sound of him opening the door, turned their heads, and then were once again attracted by his gaze.

What kind of eyes are they, bright and innocent like babies, untouched by the dust of this world, but clear and profound, as if they can penetrate your most secret thoughts at a glance.

Innocence and profundity blended perfectly, harmoniously appearing in his eyes at the same time. 、

The sunlight also plated his body with a faint golden halo, but the two little monks had an illusion that the warm, peaceful golden light was not the rising sun, but from the silver-haired man's body!

His whole person, under this rising sun, is like a compassionate Buddha, full of compassion and compassion.

The layer of golden light on his body was not dazzling, but it made the tears of the two little monks gush out instantly, inexplicably, without any reason.

The beautiful woman under the withered ancient locust tree naturally saw the silver-haired man, she seemed to be relieved, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a shallow smile. The sun fell on her side face, making her facial features more three-dimensional, so that smile was infinitely magnified, and it seemed to be warm to the bottom of people's hearts.

The silver-haired man walked out slowly, but his gaze seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, and it fell on the beautiful woman all the time.

He walked across the courtyard, between the two little monks, until he was three paces away in front of the woman, and then he stood still.

He looked at the woman, and in his deep and bright gaze, what was reflected was indescribably complicated. He said, "Thank you, girl." ”

The woman's gaze was equally complicated, and she didn't speak for a long time, but finally turned around and looked at the stout ancient locust tree behind her that had completely withered.

The silver-haired man sighed lightly, took two more steps, and looked at the stout ancient locust tree side by side with the beautiful woman: "This matter is a long story. ”

The woman shook her head slightly, turned around again, and looked at the two little monks with red eyes who were crying, like flower-faced cats, and the successive changes made them forget to cry for a while, and just looked blankly at the door of the meditation room in the west, which was completely open.

"You should, explain it to both of them first. The woman said, "Originally, they were just ......."

Speaking of this, she hesitated for a moment, as if she didn't know whether she should break something down, but finally changed her words: "Now, each of them has a spirit and an independent mind. ”

Only then did the silver-haired man withdraw his gaze from the withered ancient acacia, looked at the two little monks with a complicated expression, and sighed lightly: "You're right, they originally suffered on my behalf, and I should also give them an explanation." ”

This humble temple seems to be a little unreal even in the previous time and space, and it wasn't until Gu Huai broke through the main hall that everything returned to normal.

There was a mountain breeze coming slowly, slightly cool, with the fragrance of grass and trees, provoking the man's two strands of silver hair.

He looked at the two little monks, but he didn't speak for a long time, as if he was considering the wording, and seemed to be hesitating where to start, just looking at the two people quietly.

The two little monks stopped crying completely, and also looked at the silver-haired man in front of them in a daze, bathed in his gentle and compassionate gaze.

For a moment, the two of them suddenly felt that the silver-haired man's gaze was as gentle and compassionate as that of their master, the old monk. Even, there was a strange illusion in their hearts, as if the silver-haired and white-clothed man in front of them was their master, the old monk!

This discovery instantly diluted the confusion and grief in their hearts, and their eyes wandered back and forth between the silver-haired man and the beautiful woman, and then suddenly they found that the stout ancient locust tree that had completely withered looked like a sitting human form from a distance!

The two little monks looked around the dilapidated courtyard, then at the rising sun, and finally at each other, and then saw surprise in each other's eyes at the same time, and seemed to understand something at the same time.

Two immature boys, who looked to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, held each other's hands tightly, as if this would prove their existence.

The silver-haired man sighed lightly: "There are some things, since you have understood, then I will not say more." Now I just want to ask you, what do you plan to do in the future? Do you want to stay here and protect this people, or do you want to leave here and start a new life?"

He seemed to be deliberate, biting the word "person" in "life" very hard, as if he was emphasizing something to the two little monks.

The eyes of the two little monks once again fell on the stout ancient acacia tree that had long since died behind the silver-haired man and the beautiful woman, and then glanced at each other again, and finally put their hands together towards the silver-haired man at the same time: "We don't want to leave here." ”

The reluctance to leave naturally means that you want to stay.

A trace of doubt and incomprehension flashed in the beautiful woman's eyes, but there was a hint of relief in the silver-haired man's eyes. He raised his hand to make a flower-shaped, and a golden light immediately rose from between him, as if the golden sunlight on the horizon was at his fingertips, and finally two golden threads were really condensed!

The two golden threads were like substance, but they were as light as nothing, and with the slight movement of the man's slender fingers, they slowly fell to the eyebrows of the two little monks.

The eyes of the two little monks were unprecedentedly clear in an instant, and all kinds of past events appeared in their minds like a glimpse of light in an instant.

I don't know how many years ago, in short, it should be very, very long, when it was only a very small village in Baoying City in the east, there was a very ordinary locust tree on this small dirt mountain.

If there is anything unusual about it, it is that it is thicker, stronger, and occupies a better position than the other flowers and trees around it.

This locust tree, among all the flowers and trees around, can welcome the first rays of sunshine every morning, and at the same time, it also bears more rain, dew, wind and frost, providing shade for the surrounding flowers and trees.

Everything was very usual.

It wasn't until one day, when a golden light fell from the sky and happened to fall on this locust tree, that things began to change gradually.

This locust tree gradually gained spiritual wisdom, and then began to spontaneously absorb the thin heaven and earth spiritual energy around it, accumulating and changing little by little.

I don't know how many years have passed, this locust tree was finally able to transform into a human, and at the same time, because of long-term cultivation, I also realized more things from the original golden light, and at the same time, I gradually understood my mission.

All fate is false, and one sex is true.

He knew that all he had to do was to send these eight words out at a certain moment.

Even if he cultivated into a human form, it was still difficult to get rid of the demon body, and the locust tree at that time was at most a demon cultivator, and the only special thing was that he was a tree demon who could stay in the human world to cultivate.

Because it was bathed in the essence of the sun and the moon, and by chance it absorbed the golden light containing the breath of Buddhism before turning into a human, so the temperament of this locust tree demon is very gentle and plain, and it is born with the compassion of the Buddha.

The aura of heaven and earth in the human world is scarce, and what he can absorb is limited, so his ability is limited, and he can only protect the nearest Baoying City and the residents in the city. Too far away for him to reach.

In this way, I don't know how many long years have passed, and one person guards one side, and this locust tree demon with Buddha nature gradually feels lonely, so he turned his new two branches into two human figures.

These two human figures are the appearance of two little monks.

So on the west hill of Baoying City, there was suddenly a dilapidated temple, and there were two young monks and an old monk in the temple.

Because those two branches were completely transformed into humans by the true qi of the locust tree demon, they did not fully possess human thoughts, and many times, they only obeyed the orders of the locust tree demon, and did not have independent consciousness, and even their memories were incomplete.

Then after countless time passes, the years passed, and the two little monks, that is, the two branches of the locust tree demon, gradually began to absorb the aura of heaven and earth around them, and gradually had their own consciousness.

It's just that their memories are incomplete at the beginning, so even after they have their own independent consciousness, there are still no memories of some things. Even, they didn't know that they were transformed by the branches of the locust tree demon.

It's just that later, as this dilapidated small temple attracted the attention of the surrounding people, it disturbed the purity of the locust tree demon, so the locust tree demon also exerted its own ability to isolate this small world from the surroundings, and since then it has become a world of its own, and the time is different from the outside world.

Afterwards, Shen Yixue once asked what the golden light that made the old monk, that is, the locust tree demon, transform into a human being. After being silent for a long time, he told her: It was a true qi that he unintentionally swayed out when he was cultivating in the Divine Realm Buddha Sect.

And the sentence "All fate is false, one nature is true" is also because when I swayed that true qi at that time, it was these eight words that I thought and thought in my heart, so it was also received by the locust tree on the soil mountain west of Baoying City in this human world. So the locust tree demon, after turning on the spiritual wisdom, still remembers these eight words.

As for why he took this to convey these eight words as his mission, he was also puzzled by the tribulation, and why these eight words finally appeared on Shen Yixue's seven-colored lotus jade pendant is even more incomprehensible.

Perhaps, the sloppy Taoist who has been the master of the Heavenly Daoist can explain all this. It's just that the current tribulation can't regenerate that subtle sense with the Nameless Land again no matter what, let alone return to the Nameless Land to ask, so in the end, it can only be temporarily stopped.

Shen Yixue asked again: "Is it just a true qi?"

Then the tribulation fell silent, and under the woman's clear gaze, which seemed to be able to see everything, fell silent, and for the first time avoided her gaze.

So Shen Yixue stopped asking.

However, she knew very well in her heart that the golden light that made the locust tree demon open its spiritual wisdom and transform into a human being was definitely not as simple as a true qi, but she didn't want to talk about it.

- Since he didn't want to say it, why did she ask?
