Middle-earth Spiritual Domain, on the shore of the Yin Lake.

Jiang Liuer and Xia Xiaohu told about the past, and Xiao Ruoshui listened quietly like a virgin.

When the story came to an end, Xiao Ruoshui looked at Xia Xiaohu, who was very casual, with a little more strangeness in his eyes, and thought: "It turns out that I am the only one who is the most ignorant, there are so many stories between this little scholar and Jiang Liuer, I don't know if I will have such a day, many years later, to tell future generations about today's everything." ”

"Boy, it's been twenty years, and you have also entered the Holy Land of Ghost Valley as you wish, and I want to know more about the past of Middle Earth and Kyushu. However, you can understand that in the monk's heart, there is nothing more interesting than your origins. Jiang Liu'er did not give up and made her intentions clear to Xia Xiaohu.

Xia Xiaohu smiled slightly, and said listlessly: "I also learn from those fortune tellers to say, the secret of heaven must not be revealed, when the time comes, you will naturally know." I should have sent you, a monk, to reincarnation, otherwise there would be no such abrasive thing as it is now. ”

"Hahaha, I didn't think you would be soft now. Back then, you were not afraid of heaven and earth, and you had a lot of momentum in the world. Jiang Liu'er laughed, then looked at Xiao Ruoshui, who looked confused, and said: "At this moment, the eldest princess must have doubts, if this kid was so majestic twenty years ago, why didn't he leave a trace on the rivers and lakes, right?"

When Xiao Ruoshui heard this, he nodded naturally, and then replied to Jiang Liu'er unhurriedly: "What the holy monk said is very true, even if Ruoshui was less than ten years old at the time, his father had already become famous, but in the past twenty years, Ruoshui has never heard of the slightest deeds about Xia Gongzi from his father or others, which is really strange, could it be that Xia Gongzi really has some connection with that companion, and has also learned his ability to silently erase himself from history?"

"The eldest princess thought too much, but the monk exaggerated. Although Xiaohu had some skills back then, it was not enough to amaze the heroes, and only in the Yongming period for a short period of two months, and did not make much movement, in such an era of turbulence, heroes in the years, the world quickly forgot Xiaohu, that is a natural thing. ”

Xia Xiaohu was still listless, as if he had just woken up, and occasionally yawned as he spoke.

In fact, if he hadn't been for Xiao Ruoshui's sake, he really didn't want to deal with Jiang Liu'er, so after yawning, he continued to say to Xiao Ruoshui: "If it wasn't for the fame of Hanmu Wang Ding back then, and he happened to meet the empty old monk of the White Horse Temple, he would have made a big fuss. Monk, speaking of which, in this era when Buddhism is rampant, and when the eldest princess's father admires your bald head so much, how is your friend Fan Zhen doing now?

"Fan Jin, life is not so satisfactory, but fortunately, the eldest princess's father is still kind and does not embarrass him too much. Wait for this matter, find a chance to see him, would you like to join us?"

When Jiang Liu'er said this, he stretched his bald head towards the lake, and then used the turquoise lake as a mirror to carefully examine his appearance, and soon after, he let out a long sigh and said: "The years are urging people to get old, I think it's better to forget it." Now that the monk has been involved in the nine forces of the ancient inheritance, I am afraid that he will not be able to be good, and it is better not to cause trouble to others. ”

Xia Xiaohu responded lightly: "You still have some self-knowledge. ”

Just when Jiang Liu'er was immersed in emotion, Xiao Ruoshui was slightly moved, and said calmly: "Although Dr. Fan was implicated in Wang Liang's matter, his father didn't treat him badly, but just let him sit idle at home. I didn't expect that the two Fan people in their mouths were really the doctors of the country of this dynasty, and after going back this time, Ruoshui would propose to his father to treat Fan more kindly. ”

"The monk has thanked the eldest princess in advance, but my old friend has been stubborn all his life, so it's better not to interfere too much in his life. Jiang Liu'er said in a low voice: "Boy, I want to come to the second thing you said, it is my old friend's "Theory of Divine Annihilation", right? Back then, I had some doubts, you are a boy in the mountains, you can have such a profound Buddha fate, and you know the profound Dharma, I didn't know back then, but now you have to tell the monk me a good talk. ”

When Xia Xiaohu heard this, he said very happily: "Yes! However, you have to answer me a few questions first." Sir has been down for so long, and you think that you are almost finding the shore of Yin Lake and Yang, you have to hurry up and don't think about it for too long. ”

"I said you kid, it's really clear. It's almost time to confess to you, although you and I haven't seen each other for so many years, we have tried many times, and it doesn't make much sense to go on like this, so it's better to get to know each other happily. It's just that the eldest princess is here, are you sure it's a good thing for her to let her know about the matter between us?" Jiang Liu'er didn't turn around, still looking at the turquoise lake, still admiring her young face, and saying things that seemed to have nothing to do with her.

Xiao Ruoshui stood up, saluted Xia Xiaohu from a distance, and said, "Young Master Xia, if there is anything inconvenient, Ruoshui will avoid it." ”

"It doesn't matter, that monk is so boring, and he is still testing my attitude towards you, and the eldest princess doesn't need to pay attention to him. Xia Xiaohu smiled slightly, nodded lightly at Xiao Ruoshui, and signaled that she didn't need to be polite.

At this moment, a breeze blew from behind Xia Xiaohu, bending the emerald green and slender grass tips around him, stirring his long black hair, and silently blowing towards Xiao Ruoshui with the unique fragrance of grass and trees.

The fragrance struck people, Xiao Ruoshui heard the words, and an inexplicable feeling of emotion and warmth slowly spread in her heart, at this time she actually felt some familiarity, it was a long-lost feeling, but it was like having been in the blood and never left.

"Monk, I won't talk to you. Say, where are you from?" After Xia Xiaohu finished speaking to Xiao Ruoshui, he didn't do much more, and asked Jiang Liu'er directly.

Jiang Liu'er: "West." ”

Xia Xiaohu: "Why did you come from?"

Jiang Liuer: "I am a son of the West, and I come to the East only for the Buddha." ”

Xia Xiaohu: "Buddha?

Jiang Liuer: "I often hear Jizo say, 'Hell is not empty, swear not to be a Buddha', now that Hell is not empty, how can I become a Buddha." ”

Xia Xiaohu: "Monk, then you will be bored." ”

When Jiang Liu'er heard this, he smiled faintly and said without embarrassment: "I see, I really underestimated you! If the Western Dharma can't convince me, why should I become his Buddha?"

Xia Xiaohu was not moved, and said calmly: "If you come to the Buddha, do you know that there is no Buddha in Middle Earth and Kyushu, and the Buddha's entry into Middle Earth is a mistake, which will only cause misery to the soul." ”

Jiang Liu'er: "That's why I came from thousands of miles away, monk. ”

Xia Xiaohu: "That's very good. Sixty years ago, I watched him pick you up from the river, but at that time you were not enlightened and did not notice my existence.

At the beginning, I said to Fa Ming that you are an extraordinary Buddha, and you must not be taught the Dharma of the mortal world, so in the later days, the Fa Ming monk only raised you and did not teach you any Dharma, do you have any resentment over the years?"

Jiang Liu'er: "No, the old monk Faming is very good to me. I've always known that there is a pair of eyes that have been watching me in the dark, originally I thought it was Rulai, but now it seems to be you, and you are even more terrifying. ”

Xia Xiaohu: "Definitely. If I am far away in the Western Elysium, I am only in Middle-earth, and the mortals who are not human in Middle-earth are all in my eyes, and you are not alone. ”

Jiang Liu'er: "Tomb keeper of Middle Earth?!"

Hearing this, Xia Xiaohu nodded slightly, and then added: "The tomb keeper of Middle-earth has already left Middle-earth Kyushu, and I am only temporary, and it will be sixty years old, when you came from the west. ”

Jiang Liuer: "He went to the West?"

Xia Xiaohu: "I don't know, maybe." The tomb keepers of Middle-earth have adhered to the tomb of Middle-earth for nearly a thousand years, and in their later years, you occasionally came from outside the world, and left quietly. ”

Jiang Liu'er: "So, Hanmu Wang Ding is the amount he handed over to you?"

Xia Xiaohu: "Yes. ”

Jiang Liu'er: "You can hide yourself well among the living beings, also because of the tomb keeper of Middle Earth?"

Xia Xiaohu: "Yes. ”

Jiang Liu'er: "The nine forces of the ancient inheritance don't know about the existence of the tomb keepers of Middle Earth?"

Xia Xiaohu: "Yes. ”

Jiang Liu'er: "Why did you enter the Ghost Valley?"

Xia Xiaohu: "My question is not over yet, you can wait a minute." ”

Jiang Liu'er: "You continue." ”

Xia Xiaohu: "Is it really like this?"

Jiang Liu'er: "If you're really a grave keeper in Middle-earth, you shouldn't ask this question. ”

Xia Xiaohu: "That's good, have you ever seen an immortal?"

Jiang Liu'er: "It turns out that you don't know the existence of immortals, if you don't see immortals for thousands of years! On that day, someone came from outside the sky, and I was able to leave, and now my real body does not know where it is, leaving only a wisp of soul in Middle-earth Kyushu." ”

"What?!" When Xiao Ruoshui heard this, he finally stopped calming down, and shouted out in surprise: "The holy monk is a person from outside the heavens?! Is it really a Buddha from the Western Heaven Elysium? Is it really like this? Then the Heavenly Emperor and Lingxiao Heavenly Court are not just legendary stories?

Jiang Liu'er still didn't make any movement, continued to stare at the lake, and said lightly: "Eldest princess, now that you are in the Middle-earth Spirit Domain, you are a mythical person, so there is no need to be like this. ”

When Xia Xiaohu heard this, he smiled slightly and said, "Eldest princess, it is inevitable that it will be a little difficult to accept that you suddenly know so many things. However, you weren't originally from Middle-earth Kyushu, and you know it's only a matter of time. ”

"I see, no wonder you have a crush on her. Jiang Liu'er let out a faint smile at this moment and said, "I'm from the west, so do you know where the eldest princess came from?"

Xia Xiaohu: "I don't know. The Middle-earth Keeper can only sense the presence of visitors from outside the sky, and cannot reach out of the sky. ”

When Jiang Liu'er heard this, he finally made a move, he patted his monk's robe, slowly stood up, and sighed: "The Tomb of the Three Emperors of Middle Earth and Kyushu, the Mausoleum of the Five Emperors of Lingxiao Heavenly Court." I have never heard of the emperor and the emperor, and I have not seen the immortal for ten thousand years. ”
