Chapter 146: Just Asking for Nothing
"Lingzhou?" Hu Xianxian wanted to end the conversation with him earlier, she was afraid that her train of thought would follow him. But what he said involved Hu Xianxian's own knot that she had been puzzled about, and she couldn't help but stop.
Seeing that she was not in a hurry to leave, Leng Qiulang's expression was a little lighter, and he said calmly: "Big brother used to say that Buddhism and Taoism, and even other religions with many believers, would decline. It's not that he curses the self-proclaimed orthodox sects by turning into demons, but that he has a solid basis. ”
"I don't care what happens to religion. I just have Bai Huifeng's Heavenly Immortal cultivation, but I don't have a Dao book, so I can't be considered a person in the Dao Sect. All I want to know is, how could Lingzhou City have anything to do with the Outer Heavenly Dragon? ”
"The Outer Heaven Divine Dragon does not belong to the Five Elements and the like, and it does not need to borrow the aura of heaven and earth, but has its own endless abundant aura. I don't know where it came from, but I know that it has been seriously injured when it came to this world. We found out that before it died, it tried its best to reach the current location of Lingzhou City, but unfortunately it died of physical exhaustion after it arrived. ”
Hu Xianxian didn't interject, and glanced at Leng Qiulang fixedly.
Leng Qiulang continued: "It was my eldest brother who buried the bones of the dragon more than 3,000 years ago, and there was a barren beach around the mausoleum back then. He didn't expect that more than 3,000 years later, that place would become a bustling town. ”
Hu Xianxian pursed his lips tightly before he spoke after a long time: "What you said should be true." But what about it? I will not let go of all my responsibilities and go to the world to practice. ”
Leng Qiulang sighed a few times: "Miss Hu, why don't you understand?" The catastrophe of heaven and earth is coming, not my eldest brother, or how those demons and monsters are going to cause a catastrophe, it is this side of the world that should have this catastrophe! ”
"What about this fate? I'm in this world myself, and I'll be able to escape the catastrophe? ”
"They have a calamity, and they have brought it upon themselves. Which of those mortals is not greedy and selfish, who only compares themselves with each other? Those who practice can only abandon some superficial desires, and the battle between the open and the secret is more terrible than that of mortals......"
"What about me? I have more faults than theirs, and I deserve more punishment. Besides, there are many cultivators who have both ability and political integrity, but you don't notice that your thinking is extreme. ”
Leng Qiulang hooked his lips and chuckled, "Have both ability and political integrity?" Your master in the previous life, Chao Xuantong, was often praised for having both ability and political integrity, but he didn't save me when he saw death! Also, do you know why there are red spots in the red snow dust? It was stained by Jiang Yan's blood! ”
Hu Xianxian pinched his eyebrows, "Jiang Yan? I've heard Mo Jinmian and Ako mention this name as well, who is she? Bai Huifeng didn't seem to have this person in his memory. ”
Leng Qiulang still chuckled, the smile was bright and sad. Only he could laugh at such a seemingly contradictory look, which made him charming.
Hu Xianxian looked at his smile, his mind was in a trance, and he sighed secretly: No wonder those people in the border city are crazy about him, and they are going to be unable to control themselves.
Leng Qiulang smiled and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Jiang Yan, Jiang is the Jiang of a beautiful lady, Yan is a beautiful and moving Yan, she is as her name suggests, she is a beautiful and gentle woman." Jiang was also the national surname of the Li Dynasty back then, and she was a noble princess. She died because of Chao Xuantong, and my eldest brother turned into a demon because of her. How could Chao Xuantong mention this disgraceful old incident to his apprentice? ”
"No wonder Bai Huifeng didn't have anything about Jiang Yan in her memory, it turned out that her master didn't tell them about the past."
"Other disciples don't know anything about these things, but Cheng Haofeng knows a little bit. Cheng Haofeng went to catch Yanran Blood Fish when he was a teenager, and was once taught a hard lesson by Chao Xuantong. Cheng Haofeng, who felt wronged, ran to the back mountain to vent his emotions by yelling and shouting, which was heard by my eldest brother. My eldest brother told him at the time that Yanran's bloodfish was ...... by Jiang Yan."
Hu Xianxian asked eagerly: "Yanran blood fish? Is it a small and cute red fish? Highly toxic? No wonder Cheng Haofeng stopped me from arresting it. ”
Leng Qiulang shook his head lightly, "Yanran's blood fish was transformed by Jiang Yan, and it is not poisonous. However, after eating it, it will give people hallucinations of sadness and despair. ”
Hu Xianxian couldn't help frowning and sighed: "It must be when Jiang Yan was dying, the sadness and despair in her heart were so great that she turned into this kind of fish." It seems that it was Chun and Zhenren who broke her heart? ”
Leng Qiulang's expression became solemn, "None of those immortals can truly be in a harmonious mood, why are you running around for them?" You have been in a few lives and have nothing to do with them, and you should unload the burden that belongs to Bai Huifeng. ”
"I'm not burdened with anything." Hu Xianxian smiled lightly, "I just owe them, I should pay them back." Just like you, your original attitude towards me may be the same as Mo Jinmian, if you can persuade me to surrender, I will persuade you to surrender, and if you can't persuade you to surrender, you will get rid of it. But if I save your life, you just want me to avoid strife, and you won't force me to submit to you. ”
"No, my thoughts are originally different from Second Brother Mo. He deliberately targeted your family and changed your destiny back then, and I disagreed. I know that deliberately changing the number of days can bring unexpected changes......"
Hu Xianxian said lightly, "I also know, I really can't change it." She touched her nose lightly, "I only know that I have done stupid things myself, and there are some catastrophes that I can't avoid." Maybe cultivators act more casually to cause so many troubles, but people in Buddhism should not be like this. ”
Leng Qiulang sneered, "Are people in Buddhism really pure, good, and clean like white lotus?" Do they have less? ”
Hu Xianxian retorted seriously, "Those Buddhist disciples who swagger and deceive can't be counted, they don't really believe in Buddhism." I think that the realm of Buddhism's 'no birth, no destruction, no dirt and no purity, no increase or decrease' seems to be more accessible and harmonious than the path of seeking immortality and ascension. ”
Leng Qiulang laughed, "That kind of realm can be achieved without destroying the Golden Immortal, and it is truly achieved, it's not that some people in the Buddhist sect say that they have realized any realm, but they can't show it." ”
"Immortal Golden Immortal? Can they really be selfless and heartless? How do you show that inner realm? ”
Leng Qiulang stopped smiling, "How do I know?" I'm not an immortal golden immortal. I haven't seen the Immortal Golden Immortal either. In short, you don't have a good impression of Taoism, Buddhism, or any other famous and decent sects. You should have found a clean place to hide and cultivate, and you have to protect yourself. ”
Hu Xianxian was still thinking about those words, and she said in a daze: "Buddhism may indeed not be so good, if you really treat all sentient beings well, there will be no hell." The torture of the Jizo Bodhisattva who is in charge of hell is more terrible than the punishment of the Black Prison of the Underworld, isn't this demonic nature? ”
Leng Qiulang shook his head, "Those people who say how terrifying hell is are all based on their own imagination to create the appearance of hell, it is they themselves who have demons in their hearts, not the demons in the hearts of Jizo Bodhisattvas. ”
"Listen to you, you've been to hell?"
"I did go to hell in search of my eldest brother's remnant soul. The scene in Hell is completely different from the prisons on earth, and it is also different from the various prisons of Hades. ”
Hu Xianxian smiled and said, "Hearing you say this, I'm a little curious about what hell is like?" Looking at the sky again, "I remember in a trance that today is April 21?" If I keep talking to you, I'll have to lose track of time. ”
Leng Qiulang also smiled and said: "This shows that we have a good conversation." Miss Hu, please consider carefully what I have said. I'll take my leave, take care. ”
Hu Xianxian responded: "There will be a period in the future, take care." ”
The two left here together, Hu Xianxian was going to Qingqiu Country, Cai Que took her to the southeast and Leng Qiulang to the northeast.
Cai Que carried Hu Xianxian to the southeast for about ten days, and then to the south for two days, and finally stopped in a hot and humid mountain.
Hu Xianxian tugged at the wet clothes on his back and muttered, "Why did this Qingqiu country change places for a while?" Can they stand such a humid and stuffy place? ”
Cai Que was wandering on the ground, and Hu Xianxian urged, "Hurry up and take me into Qingqiu Country, if I stay any longer, I will definitely have to cover the stinking." ”
Caique waved his wings listlessly, lowered his head and walked into a whirlpool of air that appeared out of thin air.
Seeing that Caique was in a low mood, Hu Xianxian hurriedly followed, secretly worried about the situation in Qingqiu Middle School.
But after stepping into Qingqiu Country, there was no scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and the people I met all seemed to be beaming.
Hu Xianxian asked Caique suspiciously, "There is nothing unusual here, why are you unhappy?" ”
Caique lowered his head and walked slowly, although Hu Xianxian could communicate with it, he could only feel that it was depressed, and he could not know exactly what it was thinking.
When she arrived at the Ying Guest House, Hu Xianxian stayed first, she didn't want to see them immediately, she had to find out the general situation of Qingqiu Country at this time.
After staying for a day, she inquired about the fact that there had been no disasters in this Qingqiu country these days, but on the contrary, there was a great joy.
The great joy was that the lord of the kingdom was finally going to take a wife, and they would have a queen in three days.
Hu Xianxian repeatedly confirmed the news, and it was indeed true. Now, it's her turn to wonder, Caique is unhappy because of this?
She held Caique's head and asked in a low voice: "Caique, are you unhappy because Lie Yufeng wants to marry the queen?" You, do you like ...... Like the wind? After asking, Hu Xianxian himself felt that this idea was too nonsense.
Caique shook her head, broke free of her hand in some anger, and flew towards the palace.
Hu Xianxian chased after Caique, and the guards outside the palace gate recognized Hu Xianxian and let her into the palace.
Cai Que flew in the sky, and Hu Xianxian chased after him on the ground. Caique can travel thousands of miles in an instant, but it just flies slowly, only a little in front of Hu Xianxian. Hu Xianxian can also sweep into the air to chase the magpie, but she wants to run with her head up.
She knew that she had said the wrong thing, and Caique was angry with herself, and she couldn't force it to catch it, she had to let it get angry.
When the magpie flew into the imperial garden, it let out a long cry and slowly stopped on a plane tree. It glanced at the panting Hu Xianxian, and when she looked at herself with a smile, it raised its head again.
Hu Xianxian circled around the tree, and it didn't look at her, she just stared at Caique's eyes. Caique's head is tilted to and fro, but he doesn't look at Hu Xianxian.
They were playing when a burst of laughter came, "I heard them say that someone was chasing a bird in the palace, and I guessed that you were coming." ”
Hu Xianxian hurriedly turned around, and when he saw that it was Lie Yufeng coming, he smiled and said, "The colorful magpie you gave me is really not good to serve, and I have a big temper." ”
Cai Que saw the wind, cried a few times to the sky, flapped his wings and flew away.
Hu Xianxian pointed to its figure in the air and said, "I'm not wrong, it dares to play a temper in front of you." ”
Lie Yufeng smiled faintly, "I understand its thoughts, and I won't blame it." Xianxian, you came by coincidence, and in three days it will be my wedding. ”
Hu Xianxian happily blessed him: "Congratulations, congratulations." He rubbed his hands together and said embarrassedly, "But I came in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts......
Lie Yufeng smiled: "What kind of gift do you use?" He said a little sadly, "Now that it is difficult for us to gather together in the same vein of Yunhuaguan, it has made me very happy that you can come to my wedding." ”
Hu Xianxian didn't want him to mention Cheng Haofeng and them, so he quickly opened the topic, "Alas, don't think about that, you and Hong'er can have lovers and eventually become married, which is also a beautiful thing."
Lie Yufeng was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't speak with his mouth slightly open.
Hu Xianxian didn't understand what was wrong with him, but the maid beside him answered: "The lord of the country is going to marry the daughter of the fairy of the barbarian mountain as the queen, and at the same time take Miss Cui'er as a concubine, which has nothing to do with Miss Hong'er." ”
This time it was Hu Xianxian's turn to open her mouth slightly and couldn't speak, her eyes seemed to be rusty, and she turned for a long time before turning to Lie Yufeng.
Lie Yufeng lowered his head slightly, "The immortal Shangren of the Barbarian Mountain Land is still really talented and intelligent, and his daughter Shang Weiran is virtuous and intelligent......"
Hu Xianxian sighed, not knowing what to say. After squeaking for a long time, she said, "This is the Barbarian Mountain Realm?" I may have been dizzy from the hot and humid climate in the mountains, so please don't mind. ”
Lie Yufeng raised his head, saw that she didn't blame herself, and glanced at her gratefully, "How can you mind?" Qingqiu Middle School has a cool climate, so let's rest. ”
Hu Xianxian walked with the maid to the small courtyard where she had lived before, although it had nothing to do with her who Lie Yufeng married, she was still a little depressed. She was thinking about the reason why Caique was unhappy, just like herself, because she was dissatisfied that her lover couldn't become a dependent, right?
