Chapter 20: The Deceased
Xiaobai went down the mountain to meditate, walked the back mountain, down to the foot of the mountain, the sky was already dark, look at the lights of the three or five houses in front, it must be a farmer's village, Xiaobai plans to find a place to stay, and rush back to the Temple of Mercy and Grace tomorrow to make plans again.
As soon as they reached the entrance of the village, all the houses clanged and beat gongs and drums, shouting: "The iron-eating beast is here again!
Xiaobai stayed at the entrance of the village, and saw a strong man running out of the village, and saw Xiaobai shouting: "Get out of the way!"
Xiao Bai didn't move, this big man rushed forward, wanted to stay in the past, Xiao Bai thought that it was estimated that he was a thief, it was better to catch it and hand it over to the villagers, so he used his body refining fist to attack the big man, this big man had a pot-shaped hat on his head, and his body was still covered with a steel plate, Xiao Bai punched his fist and his fist hurt! It is estimated that this big man was afraid of being caught up, so he didn't care about Xiao Bai's fist, so he stopped his waist and picked up Xiao Bai, and flew away! This big man didn't know what clothes he was wearing, and his body was furry and tinkling. Xiaobai touched it, and felt that this big man was covered with hair, and he had two iron pots around his waist, Xiao Bai was stunned, what is the number of roads for this big man, and what is even more terrifying is that while the big man is running, he also picked up the iron pot on his waist, and bit a piece of crunchy and fragrant food!
The big man took Xiaobai to jump and climb between the mountain streams and trees, Xiaobai thought to himself, couldn't he have touched Tarzan of the apes? shouted: "Big brother, big brother, let me go!
There was a faint light in front of him, Xiaobai was looking forward to it, the light was getting closer and closer, and the brilliance was getting more and more prosperous, until he entered an open cave, the big man put down Xiaobai, hehe smirked, Xiaobai was so shocked that he almost fainted, and it was a panda standing in front of him. It turned out that it was a panda who took himself over the mountains and mountains, although the panda's face was a human outline, but the whole face was covered with hair, it looked very simple and cute, a pair of golden eyes in the dark circles were bright, white hair covered the cheeks, and a piece of iron pot was biting on the mouth, looking at Xiaobai and turning his head back and shouting: "Big sister!
Xiaobai found out where he was, this cave is extremely huge, surrounded by small caves, a pool in the middle, or a small lake, unknown flowers and plants in the lake are swaying, a small rockery in the center of the lake, the fountain on the rockery gushes, and the mist flows like a substance. At the top of the cave, a bead emits a soft glow that illuminates the entire cave.
In the mist, a woman is meditating on a rockery, her face is not very clear, but her figure is graceful and colorful. Xiao Bai was just about to ask, but the woman slowly spoke: "Huojiu! You went to the mortal realm to steal the iron pot again?" The panda said aggrievedly: "It's uncomfortable in my stomach, I'm going to suffocate to death!"
The woman's eyes turned to Xiao Bai and said, "Little brother, who taught your body refining fist?"
Xiao Bai thought to himself, why do beautiful women like to call people little brother? Am I small? And the last one who called me little brother was a man-eating demon, this woman lives in a cave, and it is estimated that she is also a monster, so you should be careful! Xiao Bai said: "I don't know how to practice body boxing! I just beat blindly!"
The giant panda was eating the iron pot and said, "He lied!"
I didn't see the woman's strength, she had floated in front of Xiaobai, Xiaobai hadn't seen it clearly, the woman's fist had arrived in front of her, one move and one style, and the body refining fist was eight or nine points similar, Xiaobai was not effective in parrying, and he ate several punches on his body, and almost fell apart.
After Xiaobai's thirty-six style body refining fist was finished, the woman jumped back and said: "Little brother, you don't have to fight, your body refining fist is the path of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, I heard that the Heavenly Mandate Sect has been destroyed, and only two disciples, a man and a woman, have escaped, are you one of them?"
Xiao Bai thought to himself, it turned out that the other party was tricking, and he thought that he was on par with others! He was exposed so easily, and he was silent. The woman said: "This cat's bear is named Huojiu, my surname is Nie Yinniang, I practice here, and I belong to the same vein of Shushan, you don't have to be afraid, we are not demons or demon servants!"
Xiao Bai thought to himself, he had finally met the monk, and he felt that the name Nie Yinniang was so familiar, so he asked, "Then you are not monsters, you won't eat me, will you?"
Nie Yinniang smiled: "This panda is a vegetarian, and this girl doesn't eat meat!"
Panda Huojiu smirked on the side, and Xiao Bai asked again, "Sister Nie, do you know Master Dining Xia, where is her cave mansion?"
Nie Yinniang said: "Little brother, I heard that Long Yuexun, the daughter of the Sect Master of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, was taken away by Master Fan Xia on the eve of the destruction of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, you want to find Master Fan Xia, and you will make the Heavenly Mandate Sect refine the body fist, it seems that you are Gongsun Xiaobai - the youngest disciple of the Sect Master of Gongsun!"
Xiao Bai didn't know the enemy or me, so he didn't dare to make a sound! Nie Yinniang asked again: "Little brother, has the sect master of Gongsun ever escaped?" and said with a self-lost smile: "He will never escape!"
Xiao Bai replied sadly: "The sect master has also gone with the immortals!"
Nie Yinniang asked, "Senior Brother Du Er has already crossed the catastrophe, and he is just waiting to ascend, what kind of opponent can the enemy kill him together?"
Xiao Bai said: "The enemy's cultivation is not strong, but it took three hundred years to create a shocking conspiracy!" Xiao Bai has not known the news of the Heavenly Mandate Sect since he fled from the Seven Star Sea, and he has never told anyone about the Heavenly Mandate Sect.
In the end, when she heard that Gongsun Du'e had turned into a stone statue, Nie Yinniang couldn't hide her grief, and muttered: "Senior brother, is this the destiny you firmly believe in?" She couldn't help but think of the scene when she was saved by him in Zhenmo Yuan a hundred years ago, when she was still a low-level disciple of the Emei faction who had just reached the realm of imperial objects, at that time she was still a disciple of Buddhism, and at that time it was her first time to travel to Kyushu, full of longing for cultivation, and devout and respectful to the Buddha, who knew that when she saw it, it changed her life!
On that day, he was left alone, injured by a ninth-order demon beast, and was about to be swallowed by the demon beast, he was like a flying immortal outside the sky, appeared in front of him to fight the sword and slash the demon, smiled at himself and stretched out a hand and said: "This little junior sister is a disciple of Emei, right? It is very dangerous to be alone in this Demon Suppression Abyss!" I remembered that while wiping my tears, I said, "Which sect is Senior Brother from? Thank you Senior Brother for rescuing me!"
He was so proud and determined, and the sun behind him shone as if he was emitting a divine light, and he saluted himself and said, "Heavenly Mandate Sect Gongsun Du'e!" Since then, this name has been haunted by the dream for a hundred years of days and nights. Later, I learned that he was the sect master of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, and since then, she has worked hard day and night to cultivate, just to be able to achieve the same cultivation as him, her name can be ranked with him, and she can be praised by others, so that he occasionally thinks of the inconspicuous little disciple he saved, and now everything has returned to dust.
Later, the master knew that the name he was talking about turned out to be Gongsun Du'e, and the master said that the Heavenly Mandate Sect claimed to uphold the Mandate of Heaven, did not hesitate to do anything about itself, did not care for the common people, blindly sought war, deviated from the peaceful way of Buddhism, and asked himself not to make friends with the disciples of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, let alone that he was still a bhikshuni. I fell out with my master, and secretly went to the Sea of Seven Stars, wanting to see him again, and saw that it was indeed Senior Brother Du Er who was holding a wedding with Taoist companion Long Feiqiong, and the wedding was not an outsider, nor was it lively, which was very in line with the demeanor of their disciples of the Heavenly Mandate Sect, Senior Brother Du Er smiled and said: "You are the only disciple of the Outer Sect who attended our wedding, you are a distinguished guest, please take a seat." His tears almost fell again, and he took out the carefree flowers that he was going to give to Senior Brother Du'e, and offered them to the bride: "Congratulations, Senior Sister!"
Senior Brother Du Er couldn't hear the meaning of this sentence, but the bride knew it in her heart and cared for this little sister very much. That day, he and his brothers drank without getting drunk and returned home, and became a good sister with his fifth sister Long Xiangzhu, when he went down the mountain, the bride said that he liked his good sister very much, and he wanted to come often, but he never went to the sea of seven stars. After another few decades, the master said that he did not have a Buddha heart, it was better to grow his hair and return to the vulgar, and by coincidence, he saved the fire wine to this phantom wave pool, and the name of the phantom wave pool was given by himself, which means like a dream, a dream in the past. Until a month ago, I heard from the master that the Heavenly Mandate Sect had been destroyed, and the Demon Gate was about to make a comeback, and he wanted to return to the sect by himself!
And now, his disciples are right in front of him.
