Chapter 2: Goodbye
Before leaving Henghuang City, Xu Han deliberately went to meet Xiao Yu.
After all, if Xu Han will return to Da Zhou, Xu Han can't understand, after all, the other party entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, and this parting, Xu Han felt the need to see him.
But it's a pity, but when he came to Longyin Mountain, he was told that Xiao Yu had closed the death pass, and he would never go out of the fairy land again. Xu Han, who got such a result, was about to leave, but was stopped by the little novice sent by the master who was not bitter and invited him to enter the temple for a while.
Xu Han was about to refuse, but suddenly thought of something, so he simply agreed.
Speaking of which, this is the first time that Xu Han has come to Longyin Temple, which is known as the first sect of Great Xia, in a real sense. The last time I came here, the temple was occupied by the strange guy who claimed to be the king of Jizo.
In addition, at that time, Longyin Temple happened to be closed, and Xu Han did not have the opportunity to see such a scene of pilgrims coming and going today.
At this moment, the ancient temple was full of smoke, and the pilgrims lined up to enter the temple to worship the Buddha, this scene was still spectacular, and Xu Han couldn't help but take a look at those pious pilgrims.
"Since the chaos a few days ago, there have been many more pilgrims coming to the mountain gate to worship Buddha than usual. Seeing this, the little novice on the side whispered beside Xu Han.
Xu Han nodded secretly and asked with a smile, "Does it work?"
"Huh?" Xiao Shami was still young, obviously unable to understand the meaning of Xu Han's words, he was slightly stunned and did not wait for him to spit out the following.
Xu Han shook his head again: "It's nothing, let's go." ”
"Oh. Xiao Shami's head was bowed, and there was no doubt that he led Xu Han through the crowded Buddhist hall to the backyard of Longyin Temple, and after pointing out the room where Master Bukuku was located for Xu Han, he retreated in an orderly manner.
The room where Master Buku lived was very different from what Xu Han had imagined.
There are no green lantern scrolls, no sandalwood fish, not even a single Buddha statue to be found, and only a wooden bed, a wooden table, and a hoe placed in the corner of the wall in the small room constitute the residence of the abbot of Longyin Temple.
In a sense, this room is more like the farmhouse of a mountain villager, of course, it is still a poor mountain villager.
"Coming?" Seeing Xu Han push the door in, the monk sitting at the wooden table smiled faintly at Xu Han, and then stretched out his hand towards Xu Han and motioned for him to sit down.
Xu Han sat down opposite the monk, then raised his head to look at the monk, his gaze resting back and forth on the wrinkled monk, and did not withdraw his gaze until more than ten breaths later.
"How is the master?" asked Xu Han, his tone soft.
"Yes, very good. There are probably not many bad old men in the world of my age who can be better than me. Master Bubitter said with a smile. Counting this year, the master of non-bitterness is more than eighty, and there is a way that this life is rare for seventy years, and Xu Han has no way to refute what the master of non-bitterness said.
After saying this, Master Bubitter asked again after a few breaths: "Is Master Xu going south?"
Xu Han was slightly stunned, although Li Yulin did not make a public announcement about going south to ask for help from the Great Zhou Army, this was for fear that the news would leak and bring unnecessary trouble to Xu Han and others, and secondly, he also wanted to catch Cui Ting off guard after the matter was completed.
But these have always had a close relationship between Longyin Temple and the Great Xia Dynasty, and it is not surprising that Xu Han knows about this.
He quickly came back to his senses and nodded towards Master Buku: "Well, I'm afraid Xu has to go on this trip." ”
"The master is looking for me for this?"
Master Buku shook his head with a smile when he heard this: "Buddhism is originally a quiet place, and it has been a bad rule to participate in the affairs of the Great Xia rivers and lakes over the years, how dare you assert this matter now." ”
Although what Longyin Temple has done over the years has indeed violated the rules of the monks, but I think that even if there is great compassion in my heart, if I only put it in my heart, what is the meaning of such compassion? ”
Master Buku was slightly stunned, and when he came back to his senses, his face couldn't help but show a slight discoloration.
Then he immediately stood up and bowed to Xu Hanyingying, and said in his mouth: "Thank you for Lord Xu's wonderful words, the poor monk has been taught." ”
This worship can be described as respectful and respectful, without the slightest arrogance that an elder should have.
How dare Xu Han accept his worship, he hurriedly stretched out his hand at that time to support the master of Buku, and said, "Master, what does this mean?
Seeing Xu Han's resolute attitude, the non-bitter master did not insist, he hesitated for a while and then accepted this move, and then a faint smile appeared between his eyebrows, and he suddenly asked: "How has Master Xu's "Great Dragon Elephant Seal" been practicing recently?"
This question made Xu Han's brows furrow, his physical cultivation had already reached the point of approaching the half-step immortal realm after absorbing Luo Mo's demonic qi, but after that, even if he took the risk to attract the power of heavenly thunder to bombard the starlight, and obtained the majestic power to inject into the flesh and blood, he was always one step away from the immortal realm, which made Xu Han somewhat confused.
And Xu Han's expression fell in the eyes of the master who was not bitter, with his experience, it was naturally not difficult to guess Xu Han's predicament, he winked at Xu Han, and said in a rare tone: "Actually, the master of the "Great Dragon Elephant Seal" has also been studied, and he has some guesses about it, I don't know if Master Xu is willing to listen to the old man talk about it. ”
As everyone knows, the master of the master of the Buddha is the national teacher of the Great Xia, known as the holy monk who is once in a lifetime, and his guess is naturally something that Xu Han can't ask for, Xu Han hurriedly nodded and said: "I want to hear it in detail." ”
......
After leaving Longyin Temple, Xu Han walked alone on the mountain road of Longyin Mountain.
He lowered his head and frowned, but what Master Bu Ku said kept coming to his mind, but he couldn't find a clue when he thought about it, so he couldn't help but feel a little bored.
After the battle in Henghuang City, Xu Han has made full progress in both physical and internal cultivation, but the embarrassing thing is that he is one step away from the immortal realm, and behind this kick at the door means that there is a world of difference between him and the real immortal realm powerhouse, if he faces such an existence again, Xu Han still does not dare to assert that he has a full chance of winning. And unfortunately, the enemies he needs to face are probably not weaker than this.
Xu Han was very anxious about such a gap, but he was helpless, thinking of this, the annoyance in his heart deepened, and he couldn't help but shake his head, wanting to get rid of such discomfort.
And at this moment, he suddenly found that there was a figure not far from the mountain road in front of him looking at him from a distance.
It's Nangong Jing.
Xu Han recognized the other party at a glance, but to his surprise, today's Nangong Jing rarely did not wear the gold-threaded white robe that she never left on weekdays, but changed into a blue gauze skirt. Even between her eyebrows, there are traces of light makeup, she was already extremely beautiful, and after this careful dressing, it is naturally even more incomprehensible.
"Haha, Lord Nangong is also here, what a coincidence. Xu Han saw the other party. I don't know if it's because Nangong Jing's image is different from the past at this moment, or because Xu Han can't explain it, he inexplicably has a sense of emptiness in his heart.
"Is it coincidental?" Nangong Jing glanced at Xu Han teasingly, and asked in a strange tone.
Of course, it was unfortunate that as soon as Xu Han left Longyin Temple with his front foot, Nangong Jing appeared on the mountain road of Longyin Mountain, and it was obvious that he had deliberately waited here for some time.
"Haha, it's a coincidence, it's a coincidence. Xu Han said stiffly, unwilling to pierce Nangong Jing's words.
Seeing Xu Han like this, Nangong Jing was a little displeased, she glanced at Xu Han fiercely, and said, "Come and walk with me." ”
......
Nangong Jing said that walking is really just a walk.
The two walked side by side on the mountain path of Longyin Mountain, and they were silent with each other.
Half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and the two of them had already reached the foot of the mountain, and Nangong Jing's pace suddenly slowed down a little.
"Are you leaving?" Nangong Jing's voice sounded at that time.
Xu Han left, and the position of the pavilion master of the Sword Pavilion naturally had to fall on Nangong Jing, so of course, Nangong Jing was also aware of the matter of the envoy to the Great Zhou.
"Hmm. Xu Han nodded.
Nangong Jing's footsteps slowed down a little, her head lowered, and she asked softly, "Will you still come?"
"I don't know. Xu Han responded truthfully.
"Really?" Nangong Jing said this, her footsteps finally stopped, and then after a few breaths, when she raised her head again, her face was full of bright smiles like spring, she looked at Xu Hanyan and said, "Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end." ”
As she spoke, she arched her hand towards Xu Han very dignifiedly.
Xu Han was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came back to his senses, and he also bowed back to Nangong Jing with a straight face. Then he turned around and walked towards the outside of Longyin Mountain.
Nangong Jing, who was standing in place, looked at Xu Han's departing figure, her eyes flickered, she gritted her teeth after a few breaths, and finally mustered up her courage and shouted towards the figure that was gradually moving away: "Xu Han!"
Xu Han's departing back paused slightly, but the next moment he continued to walk into the distance.
After all, he didn't stop, since he couldn't promise others, he had to go neatly, not give others any unrealistic illusions, and it was the best choice for others and himself. This is Zhen Yue's lesson to Xu Han, he kept it in his heart and put it into action at this moment.
Nangong Jing is naturally a smart person, and she couldn't be clearer about what Xu Han wanted to tell her with such a move.
Her body shook at that moment, and there was a faint light in her eyes. But after all, she is Nangong Jing, the proud and arrogant Nangong Jing, she held back some surging emotions in her heart, and gritted her teeth again.
Then she whispered in a dreamy tone, "Goodbye." ”
