After leaving the Dragon Palace, Lu Heng began his seemingly aimless travels. Four hundred years of not fulfilling the mortal dust, the vicissitudes of life, the changes of the sea, have infinite emotion in the heart.

He set out from Beihai, went all the way east from Xihe Niuzhou, did not hide his whereabouts and names all the way, subdued demons and eliminated demons, and acted chivalrous and righteous, leaving a lot of myths and legends.

Along the way, Lu Heng also learned the whereabouts of some of the monster monks in Ci'en Temple four hundred years ago. Most of them still occupy the mountain as kings, but they are only concentrating on cultivating Buddhism, so their reputation is not obvious, and inquiring about them really made Lu Heng think a little hard.

There are also a small number of people who have still recovered their demonic nature, devouring people and sucking blood, and doing all kinds of evil.

A considerable number of demons are dead, either at the hands of exorcists, or by the hands of other demons.

Just like Chen Xuanzang's first apprentice, the squirrel spirit, after he left Huaguo Mountain, he found a valley to rebuild the Ci'en Temple, and the monks of the rest of the temples who heard the news came to "subdue demons and eliminate demons", and the squirrel spirit was beaten on the spot.

There is also a black bird spirit, who is concentrating on cultivating Buddha in the cave, but is found out of his whereabouts by a nearby exorcist, who beats him to death in exchange for a silver reward.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing died three hundred years ago, and were approached by the Bull Demon King and beat them to death.

Along the way, Lu Heng has actually been thinking about a question, what is the most essential difference between humans and demons?

With his knowledge, he will not use simple good and evil to divide demons, even if he is a human being, he will not shout a word that is not my race, and his heart will be different, and he will kill all the demons in the world.

Monsters also know kindness and righteousness, and they are also instructed, Lu Heng has seen many disciples of the Temple of Mercy and Grace, they are still concentrating on cultivating Buddhism, and the tablets of the Buddha and Chen Xuanzang are enshrined in the cave house, chanting day and night.

This is not the result of Chen Xuanzang's brainwashing, but their spontaneous behavior.

If the races are different, Lu Heng doesn't think so, because demon is originally a very empty name, the tiger spirit is also called a monster, the tree spirit is also called a monster, and even the stone gives birth to spiritual intelligence, which is called a monster.

In this way, is man also a kind of demon?

The Supreme Treasure is a human, but when he awakens the memory of his previous life, he becomes a demon, where is the boundary between man and demon?

Just like the current Lu Heng, his physical body can change into beasts, birds, trees, sand and gravel at any time, and his physical body structure is also fundamentally different from that of a human, and it is closer to a demon, so is he still a person?

Or is it that when people cultivate to the end, they are actually a kind of demon?

The so-called immortals, the so-called gods, are only distinguished from demons in subtle ways.

With such thoughts, Lu Heng crossed the border of the two states and came to Dongsheng Shenzhou.

He stopped at the Flaming Mountain, passed through the former country of bhikkhus, bypassed the Five Finger Mountain, and headed straight for Chang'an.

Above the Nine Heavens.

Guanyin withdrew his gaze from Lu Heng in the mortal world, and said with a slight smile: "It seems that this son has really traveled through the red dust." ”

On one side, a kind-hearted monk wondered: "He is an outsider, why does the Bodhisattva pay attention to him repeatedly?" ”

Guanyin said: "Outsider? Who can stay out of this vast world? Not even the Buddha. ”

sighed, Guanyin stopped mentioning it, and said to the monk: "Descending the dragon, in your life, you are wrong again." You gave up the golden body of an arhat and only cultivated Bodhi, and all the things in your previous life have become useless. ”

Descending the dragon smiled bitterly: "I underestimated the suffering of reincarnation, and when I awakened Su Hui, the name of Bodhi Ancestor had already taken root in my life. Bodhisattva, could it be that in this life, I still can't avoid going to that reincarnation? ”

Guanyin said: "If you can give up the past, you don't have to. ”

"How easy is it to give up?" The former Dragon Descending Arhat, now the Bodhi Ancestor has a gloomy face, "Tens of thousands of years of penance, how can it easily be made to come to naught?" ”

Bodhi Ancestor's eyes gradually became firm: "Bodhisattva, I intend to re-enter reincarnation." ”

Guanyin said: "The golden cicada is the best at the art of reincarnation, if you really want to reincarnate and recultivate, you can ask him for advice." ”

Bodhi Ancestor asked, "The golden cicada has not yet been born in this life, so do you want me to wait for a few more decades?" ”

Guanyin smiled: "This is not necessary, on the road of reincarnation, you will meet him." ”

The ancestor of Bodhi was thoughtful, for a long time, and when he saw that Guanyin was silent, he made the eleventh salute and prepared to leave: "Bodhisattva, I will go to the lower realm." ”

After the Bodhi Ancestor left, Guanyin's gaze passed through the endless void and fell on Lu Heng in the mortal world, but he saw that Lu Heng had arrived outside Chang'an City at this time, and was fighting with a centipede spirit.

Guanyin Bodhisattva stared at him for a long time before slowly retracting his gaze and shaking his head.

Mortal.

Lu Heng felt that the gaze that was staring at him finally moved away, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook up a sneer.

He didn't make any unusual moves, and when he saw that the ten-zhang long centipede spirit was about to escape into the ground, he shouted: "Demon, die!" ”

Bang!

With a finger, the centipede spirit was destroyed.

Not far away, a group of soldiers watched this scene in amazement, and the leading officer muttered feverishly: "Immortals! O gods! ”

Four hundred years have passed, and the legend of Wuzhi Mountain has gradually been forgotten, or in other words, people no longer believe in this legend.

The current Wuzhi Mountain, called Wuyue Mountain, is occupied by a group of bandits.

A hundred miles away from Wuzhi Mountain, there is a bazaar, and the pedestrians in the bazaar are endless, and the hustle and bustle is abnormal.

At the gate of the market, a caravan is preparing to leave, and the shopkeeper is saying goodbye to his friends.

"Shopkeeper Li, you are going to pass under the Wuyue Mountain, but be careful, there is a gang of thieves wreaking havoc there, and the road is very unsafe." The friend said worriedly.

Although Shopkeeper Li was worried, he still smiled and said: "Wuyue Mountain is so big, there is only one group of thieves, it is not necessarily so unlucky, but I touched it, right?" Don't worry about me. ”

The friend sighed: "Be careful, thieves are inhumane, if you can, it's best to detour." ”

"Don't wait for me...... shopkeeper Li shook his head, "If this batch of goods can't be delivered on time, I can't afford to lose my family." Don't worry, brother, I have this. ”

Shopkeeper Li took out a seemingly ordinary gravel and said with a smile: "It will keep me safe." ”

"This is ......" the friend seemed to think of something, "Half a month ago, there was a Lu Daxian who traveled through the red dust, except for the fish monster in the black water river. Could this piece of gravel of yours be the stone that this great immortal once sat on the riverside? ”

Shopkeeper Li nodded and sighed: "A stone less than the size of a grinding plate has been broken into hundreds of pieces, and each piece of broken stone has to be sold for one or two pieces of silver, and I was lucky enough to grab one." ”

"Did this work?" A friend asked.

"Whether it's useful or not, I'm at ease with it." Shopkeeper Li smiled, put down the gravel closely, patted it, and said, "I hope to touch the light of Lu Daxian and bless me with a safe trip!" ”
