Chapter 4: The Straw Man in White

On the bank of the Xiaoyao River, Xuanxiu entered Nirvana Mountain, and in fact, only the Shengtian Master was left as a living Buddha.

The old village owner was poisoned again and again, and fainted again at this moment. The strength and qualifications of the Holy Heaven are second only to Master Jinguan, so he has become the de facto leader of the riverside.

I don't care about a saint like the old man who guards the door, and if he makes a move, he can catch the old man. It was only because Shengtian's heart was high and arrogant that he didn't make a move. But Shengtian knew in his heart that there was a conspiracy at this moment, and he still had to see through it, but all the strange things recently made Shengtian very puzzled.

"The ship is back!"

There was a commotion in the crowd, and it turned out that the boat that Xuanxiu and the three of them were on before had reappeared.

Previously, the boat was carried to the other side of the mountain by the river, and the other side of the mountain was covered in fog all year round, and it was difficult for everyone to see the scene of the three people jumping out of the boat to escape.

The boat paddled leisurely towards the shore, and there was only one person on board, who was covered in a white cloth, and his face was obscured by the white cloth. No one could recognize who was holding the boat.

The boat came to shore, and the man came to the shore and walked straight to the holy heaven in the middle. On the side, a few villagers were blocked by money, but when they saw the people in white shaking their sleeves, although they didn't see a trace of murderous aura, several villagers immediately fell to the ground unconscious.

Seeing that the person who came was not good, Sheng Tian said, "May I ask who is the person who came and what is the matter?"

The visitor didn't answer, just walked straight.

More than a dozen villagers surrounded the people, and as soon as the man in white turned around, more than a dozen people fell to the ground one after another. Seeing that the form was not good, Sheng Tian jumped up from his seat and blocked the way of the man in white.

Shengtian said: "Who are you?"

The man in white suddenly jumped up on the spot and launched an attack on the Holy Heaven. Shengtian was really not an idle person, and he was not knocked down, but easily defused the opponent's tricks. The man in white used his legs and feet at the same time, performing wonderful kung fu, and his palm qi was extremely sharp.

Shengtian didn't dare to slack off at all, and used his peerless "black fire bullet attack". I saw that Shengtian's hands gave birth to black-purple flames, and his ten fingers shot fireballs one by one towards the man in white with extreme dexterity. The man in white swerved left and right, dodging most of the fireballs. And these dodged fireballs smashed into the ground and turned into a big pit, which showed that the Holy Heaven was already perfect.

Although the martial arts of the man in white are high, he is still a few points behind Shengtian. Four or five black fireballs hit the man in white one after another, and the body of the man in white gradually burned. Shengtian took advantage of the victory to pursue, and slapped the man's chest with a palm, and the man in white immediately fell to the ground and stopped moving, but his mouth did not make a sound.

Shengtian was surprised in his heart, no matter who was hit by my palm, he would scream in pain, vomiting blood was inevitable, how could this man in white be so strange, not only did he not make a sound, but he also did not see any blood.

The villagers surrounded him, but the man in white caught fire. The Holy Heavenly Mandate put out the fire, and the villager who carried the water shouted, "Scarecrow, it's a scarecrow!"

The faces of the onlookers became nervous, and Sheng Tian stepped forward to observe, and sure enough, there was straw under the white cloth, and it was just a puppet, but he could make forty or fifty moves with himself, and Sheng Tian also felt a chill. Do you think that the demon that has been locked in the mountain for a hundred years is really going to come out and make waves?

On the opposite side of Nirvana Mountain, Ah Zi and Xuan Xiu climbed along the branches to the Nirvana Mountainside, there is an open field on the mountainside, and the two walked to the mountain, but found that there was no place to stay next. There are no caves, and the surrounding cliffs are too steep to be left in this small clearing of land, which seems meaningless.

Xuan Xiu said: "It seems that this road is not passable, so we should go down the mountain as soon as possible." Ah Zi agreed.

At this time, many small stones rolled down from the top of the cliff, and the two of them looked up, and the night was dark and they could not see anything.

After another moment, Ah Zixi said, "It's that bird!"

Xuanxiu saw a green light flashing from Yashan, and a big bird was looking down. Suddenly, the big bird swooped down, and Xuan Xiu and Ah Zi had no way out if they wanted to hide. The big bird was extremely fast, emitting a faint green light, and it stretched out its claws and grabbed at the two of them.

The two of them dodged in this very small area, but it was difficult to use it. Ah Zi didn't pay attention, and was clamped by a bird's claw. Although Xuanxiu's martial arts are high, he can't help it, and he can't do anything when he sees Ah Zi being arrested. Xuan Xiu thought to herself, since there was no way out here, and Ah Zi was also caught, it was really difficult to protect Ah Zi. It's better to be caught by the big bird, but you can still be by Ah Zi's side.

So Hyun Xiu stopped resisting and let the big bird catch him. The big bird grabbed the two and immediately took off into the air. At this time, the two of them are extremely dangerous, if the big bird loosens its claws, the two fall from the sky, even if Xuanxiu's martial arts are strong, they will definitely be unable to escape death.

Ah Zi knew that Xuanxiu's skills instinctively dodged the big bird, and it was obvious that he took this risk to protect himself, and he felt a gushing sense of gratitude in his heart. The big bird waved its wings, and the two looked at each other, and their hands couldn't help but clasp together.

Xuanxiu was originally just a kid from the Orion family in Manshu Village. There is a connection between the five villages, and in order to maintain the connection between the five villages, there will be some mutual exchange activities in the five villages every year. One of the most influential is the annual Orion Convention, which has no restrictions and is open to anyone who knows how to hunt.

There is only one rule for the competition, which is to see who finally hits more prey, but each person can only fight one of each prey. On the day of the conference, thousands of people were crowded outside the woods. Xuanxiu's parents are both first-class hunting masters in the village. After a fierce competition. Xuanxiu's father won the title of the No. 1 hunter in Wuzhai that year.

Since then, Xuanxiu's house has been lively. The owners of Wuzhai all sent their children to learn to hunt. Ah Zi is one of them, and it is also the best one. Xuanxiu's body was very weak when she was a child, and she was often sick, so she was said to be unable to take over her parents' class, but fortunately, Ah Zi was smart and clever, so she would not lose this ancestral craft.

Ah Zi and Xuan Xiu's parents are only studying in the hunting ground, and Xuan Xiu is frail and sick and rarely goes out, so the opportunities for the two to see each other are extremely limited. One day, the weather was fine, and Xuanxiu was at home, but he was found by the owner of the village. He became the reincarnation of a new generation of living Buddhas. The crowd surrounded Xuanxiu and sang all the way, passing by the woods, Xuanxiu saw his parents teaching Ah Zi to practice archery.

I saw that although Ah Zi was young, he was unambiguous with his bow and arrows. Every arrow hits the target. When the owner of the village saw Xuanxiu's parents, he just went forward to explain to them. The owner of the village called Xuanxiu's parents aside and said in detail. Xuanxiu's parents were extremely happy when they learned that their child had been selected as a living Buddha. As a living Buddha, not only does he have the highest status, but he also has the opportunity to be well educated and cared for. Therefore, Xuanxiu's parents are quite satisfied with this result.

Xuanxiu's parents had a cordial conversation with the owner of the village, and Ah Zi practiced arrows alone. Suddenly, a black shadow came out of the bushes beside Ah Zi.

A sharp-eyed man in the crowd shouted, "Oh no, there's a wild boar!"

The wild boar seemed to have been lurking for a long time, and when he saw that Ah Zi was alone, he suddenly attacked. When Xuanxiu's parents saw this dangerous scene, they wanted to save it, but they were more than ten zhang away from Ah Zi, and it was really out of reach.

Just when everyone thought that Ah Zi was going to be pounced on by a wild boar, the result would be either death or injury. Ah Zi was practicing archery, when he suddenly heard a vicious wind hitting behind him, and there were bursts of exclamations from the crowd.

Ah Zi was not yet ten years old at the time, but he was not frightened by this sudden danger. Ah Zi preliminarily judged the direction of the beast's attack with the sound of the wind behind him, and quickly leaned forward and fell to the ground, and the wild boar swished close to the tip of Ah Zi's nose.

Seeing Ah Zi dodging the sneak attack, everyone relaxed a little in their hearts. The wild boar skimmed over Ah Zi and fell unexpectedly to the ground. The boar howled and rolled on the ground and twitched, and within two minutes was motionless.

Everyone looked intently, and it turned out that the boar's abdomen had been dissected. Ah Zi held a sharp knife in his hand, and there were a few drops of blood on the placket of his clothes.

It turned out that when the wild boar jumped over him, Ah Zi was in a hurry and put the sharp knife on his chest with both hands, but because it happened too fast, everyone didn't see it clearly, and the wild boar would not have thought that this little girl would have such a calm behavior, but instead became Ah Zi's prey.

The owner of the village and the others saw that Ah Zi outwitted the wild boar but was unscathed, and they were all impressed by this little girl. Xuanxiu's parents are also quite satisfied with Ah Zi's outstanding performance.

Xuan Xiu, who was surrounded by her, saw such a wonderful scene, looking at Ah Zi's delicate face, and her sassy heroic posture was immediately imprinted into the depths of the young man's heart.

The owner of the village was happy to say to everyone: "Today's good day for the living Buddha to ascend the temple, and to meet such a clever and brave little heroine, it seems that the future of my Wuzhai will also be a piece of eternal happiness."

The owner of the village instructed everyone to carry the wild boar back, thinking that the wild boar was a delicacy in the forest, such a good day, and the whole village was going to feast on the guests and friends of Wuzhai to drink.

After Xuanxiu became a living Buddha, he really lived up to expectations, practiced martial arts every morning and evening, got rid of his frail physique, and his martial arts made great progress, and he never lost in the competition with the elders in the temple.

Xuan Xiu's appearance is not amazing, but he has a strong comprehension ability. For the study of Buddhism and various knowledge, Xuanxiu is also quite spiritual, and has many wonderful interpretations in the discussion of Wuzhai, although as the youngest one, he has established a resounding name among the five living Buddhas.

The living Buddha of Xuanxiu in Manshu Village has passed down six unique learnings, one is the golden Buddha beads, one is the scimitar folding fan, one is the kapok robe, one is the eight-step ascending to the sky, one is the phantom trace, and the other is the eye of the sky.

The Buddha bead folding fan and robe are Xuanxiu's usual belongings, which can be used as weapons in wartime, and are three weapons for self-defense. "Eight Ascending the Sky" is a kind of light work, and Xuanxiu climbs the mountain on the tree like walking on the ground.

"Phantom Trace" is a kind of formation, which is actually an extremely fast leg and foot technique. Xuanxiu relied on his feet to perform this technique, and once besieged more than a dozen bandits, and the thieves saw Xuanxiu on the left and right, and they were scared one by one. Hyun Xiu also became famous because of this.

However, Xuanxiu has never understood the mastery of "Heavenly Eye Vision". But he knew that the previous Living Buddha had an insight into people's hearts with this mastery, and he knew all kinds of dynamics thousands of miles away. Hyun Xiu thought that he had not yet reached the time of fire, so he had to practice diligently, and one day he would acquire this kind of skill.
