Crossing the border, in the South China Sea. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There has always been a story about the guardian of the South China Sea, and no one knows how long this story has been told, anyway, the oldest old man said that he heard his grandfather tell it when he was a child.

And the characters in this story circulated in the mortal world are like thunder in the world of monks.

The old man of the South China Sea, known to the world as the guardian of the South China Sea, is unknown, but the monks know that he has existed for at least nearly nine hundred years. He didn't have a teacher or a disciple, but there was a rumor that he saw a woman about twenty or thirty years ago and wanted to take her as an apprentice, but the woman already had a teacher and couldn't vote for another one, so he gave up. It makes many people sigh, those who want to worship the teacher can't worship, but those who don't want to worship the teacher get their favor.

After that, I never heard of him accepting disciples again, until one day fifteen years ago, he suddenly began to give a lecture on a sea rock not far from his residence. From then on, every month on the first day of the month, when the sun rose, he would preach there, and at first no one knew that a fisherman had caught a fish with magical powers while fishing, and the fish did not hurt him, but only jumped on the deck a few times, shed a scale, and jumped back into the sea.

The scales were shining brightly, and the fisherman smashed them with all kinds of hard objects, but he could not leave a single scratch on them, and he was amazed and showed them to the master of the smithy, who told him that the scales were even harder than ordinary steel. This caused an uproar in this place, after all, no one had ever seen such a fish species.

Later, a monk found out, and the monk was also curious, so he bought the scales back at a high price, and followed the breath of the scales to the sea rock.

Only then did I know that this fish had listened to the scriptures since the beginning, and then gradually opened up his spiritual wisdom, and began to cultivate from a mortal thing in reincarnation, and now he has already practiced quite deeply. But because he listened to the scriptures all the year round and had a pure heart, he didn't hurt people, and he didn't make waves along the coast, but because he was caught by that fisherman, he subconsciously didn't want to leave cause and effect, so he shed a scale to repay.

At the beginning of the morning, the old man on the sea rock was preaching, his voice was ethereal, containing the mystery of the avenue, with the opening and closing of the mouth, a white air flow overflowed, exuding a faint fragrance, there was no vegetation here, only the sea rock was surrounded by fish of different sizes, the white air flow mixed in the air, those fish jumped out of the sea, swallowed the air in a big gulp, and showed an expression of enjoyment one by one.

The monk was stunned, he never knew that the expression of the original fish could be so rich and could be interpreted, and what surprised him even more was that he listened to the scripture, and as he listened to it, he entered the realm of meditation, and felt that his cultivation, which had been trapped by the bottleneck, seemed to be about to move. He was so surprised that he almost fell into the sea, only to see that the old man moved him to the sea rock with a wave of his hand, and the monk was still immersed in cultivation, and he didn't even know it.

The old man finished his lecture and left, and after a long time, there was a sound from this sea rock, and it was the monk who broke through the bottleneck.

Since then, the sea rock has become a holy place, where to the first day of the new year, there will be people here waiting to listen to the scriptures, this matter was later spread, at first only the people of the Yue country knew, and then spread more and more widely, where the four seas and three rivers flowed through, no one knew.

Tomorrow is the first day of the new year, but someone came early this morning, this is a quirky girl, the girl's big eyes are bubbling with aura, combing cute buns, and the long hair that is scattered on the back is flying with the sea breeze. She had a straight nose, cherry lips, and slightly underdeveloped baby fat cheeks, which were flushed at this time, because the young man opposite stared at her without any scruples.

Although the girl blushed for a while, she was not angry, but looked at each other with great interest, this young man is about sixteen years old, although there is still a trace of greenness, but the knife-cut face also reveals a manly smell, he has starry eyes, shining brilliance, and heavy eyebrows rush to the sky.

Although he is young, he is also outstanding.

It's just that the smile on the corner of his mouth makes the girl want to pout a little, and his playful smile can't it be that he is laughing at my boldness?

"Hey, what are you looking at?" the girl was a little embarrassed, the flush on her face spread to the base of her ears, and the naked eyes of the young man made her a little confused.

The young man laughed and said loudly: "Naturally, it depends on you! The so-called bell spirit of heaven and earth, the morning dew and Xiangshui show off the bones, I didn't expect that I could see the second such person." ”

Although the young man was laughing, there was a hint of banter in his eyes, but his voice was very sincere, obviously really praising people.

The girl's face turned even redder, but she was also filled with curiosity, and she turned her head and asked, "Why do you say it's the second one?"

"To say that you are the second, of course I have seen other people like this before. The young man smiled and said, "My name is Zhang Ling, what do you call the girl?"

The girl hesitated, but replied, "I'm Yu Ziyu." ”

The waves of the South China Sea are big, but this sea rock is shallow, gently knocking on the sea rock, blowing a trace of the smell of the sea.

"Are you here to give a lecture to the old man of the South China Sea?" Zhang Ling asked.

Yu Ziyu nodded, she looked at Zhang Ling with some curiosity, the two of them obviously met for the first time, but they didn't seem to be strangers.

Zhang Ling also wondered a little in his heart, this girl was obviously the first time she saw her, but she gave him a sense of déjà vu for no reason, she was dressed in a lilac dress, as if she had appeared countless times in a dream. Obviously the monk rarely dreams, but he still dreams often, and in the dream, a woman in a lilac dress is flying, but her back is extremely desolate, which makes his heart ache.

Maybe it's because the girl opposite is also wearing a light purple, which makes him involuntarily feel close.

"On the first day of tomorrow, the old man of the South China Sea will give a lecture here, just come here and wait at sunrise, and if you come early, you can go around the neighborhood, the old man has a lot of fish!" Zhang Ling said with a smile.

Yu Ziyu's eyes widened, the old man, is he talking about the old man of the South China Sea? He shook his head speechlessly: "I came specifically to listen to the scriptures this time, and I heard that the old man of the South China Sea has set up a lot of formations near his residence, and I don't want to test the power of those formations. ”

Zhang Ling blinked and smiled helplessly: "Okay! It's okay if you want to wait here, but be careful of ghosts at night." With that, he arched his hand at Yu Ziyu and turned to leave.

The girl's silver teeth bit lightly, rolled her eyes at his back, and with a light snort, she sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.

Master said that cultivation is indestructible, even if you are a genius, if you don't work hard, you will be lost.

Although she was in a perfect state of meditation at such an age, if she didn't work hard to cultivate, sooner or later she would be thrown into the corner by those hard-working people. Someone who is favored by her parents and master like Senior Brother is still cultivating day and night, what reason can she be lazy? Moreover, the young man she saw just now, the young man named Zhang Ling, although he looked like he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, not much older than her, but she couldn't see through it at all, and it was obvious that the young man was more powerful than her, which made her feel a little unconvinced.

Hmph! What's the big deal!

There was no time for cultivation, and when Yu Ziyu opened her eyes, the sky was already white, and she was woken up.

Yes, although it was cultivation, she fell asleep while practicing. It was Zhang Ling who woke her up next to her, and Zhang Ling laughed at her heart.

"Hey, little sister, are you still drooling when you're cultivating?" Zhang Ling asked with a smile.

Yu Ziyu suddenly wiped the corners of her mouth, only to find that there was nothing, she looked at Zhang Ling angrily and said, "Where is the saliva, you only drool when you cultivate!"

Zhang Ling then continued: "Yes, I drool when I cultivate, just like you. ”

His teasing expression made Yu Ziyu eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, and when he was practicing, he fell asleep and was seen by others, which was really embarrassing.

"Brother Ling, don't make trouble, Master is coming soon. A voice sounded behind Yu Ziyu.

The voice was cold and ethereal, like it came from above the clouds.

Yu Ziyu turned around and was instantly amazed. She suddenly thought of what Zhang Ling said yesterday, he had really seen such a woman, the autumn water is the jade of the gods, and the spirit of the heaven and the earth is beautiful, which makes people ashamed to see it, and sighs at the eccentricity of God.

Yu Ziyu admitted that this woman was the most outstanding woman she had ever seen, and at the same time believed Zhang Ling's words.

Zhang Ling got up and said with a smile: "I know, sister, this is the little girl I told you yesterday, how about it? I bet Master will definitely like her." ”

Zhang Yao smiled, and instantly Yu Ziyu felt like nine days of ice melting, and everything was bright.

You must introduce her to your senior brother!" Yu Ziyu said in his heart. Then he reacted to what Zhang Ling said. Instantly furious: "I don't want your master to like it!"

"Then you want me to like it?" Zhang Ling continued to laugh, always unable to help but be happy when talking to this little girl.

"Who wants you to like it, big rascal!" Yu Zi wanted to beat him up, but considering that he might not be his opponent, he decided to fight back. "Big rascal, stinky rascal!" she cursed in a low voice through gritted teeth.

Zhang Ling was stunned, but Zhang Yao shook his head with a smile and said: "Ziyu girl, you don't want to be like my younger brother, he is used to being a child, and it is really not worth it to fight with him or be angry with himself." ”

"Sister, are you still not my own sister?" Zhang Ling looked at his sister's elbow with a dark face.

Zhang Yao ignored him, just walked up to Yu Ziyu and looked at her carefully, and only after a long time did she ask: "Miss Ziyu is so young and cultivated, but her talent is amazing, but you are afraid that you will suffer if you walk around with such a heart, Brother Ling and I will also go out to practice in a few days, I wonder if Miss Ziyu has a place to go?"

Yu Ziyu was a little blushing when she saw her, but now when she heard her say this, she was a little puzzled and a little hesitant.

It was not easy for her to sneak out of her brother's hands, well, but no one will take care of her when she is with others, and besides, such a beautiful woman, she said that she would be introduced to her brother, and she must have a good relationship with her before she can be introduced to her brother.

Zhang Yao didn't know what this girl was thinking, but she saw that her big eyes were dark and very cute. Zhang Ling knew that this girl looked cute, but in fact she was very eccentric, and she might have some bad ideas in her head at this time.

He wanted to speak, but he saw the clouds moving in the distance, a white mark crossed, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the old man of the South China Sea.

The old man of the South China Sea could not see his age, he had a childish face and crane hair, a charitable face, wearing an ordinary cloth clothes, coming with his hands, standing on the sea rock and not speaking, but just glanced into the sea and saw the orderly fish, then he sat cross-legged, his hands were naturally placed on his legs, his eyes were half-closed, and he began to chant.

The sound was ethereal, as if it were real and illusory, and white air currents overflowed from its mouth, swirled in the air, and then dispersed in the air, and the fish jumped out of the sea to devour it. The sun is rising, the glow is shining in all directions, and the fish scales are shining, colorful, and very charming.

"I once heard the Tao between heaven and earth, and knew that there were gods and demons born, with chaos as the root, immortal and indestructible, flawless and unblemished, and it was for the gods. Later, he asked between heaven and earth, I don't know the end of life, there are six realms of reincarnation, endless, immortal and immortal. What is the Tao, it is born between heaven and earth, and its soul is pure, and its formlessness is also Tao, and it is nameless, and it is nothingness. Penetrating the void with spiritual purity is the supreme ......"

This is not a specific method of cultivation, but like a general outline of cultivation, every time I hear it, I have a different feeling.

It was quiet on the sea rocks, only the ethereal sound of the Tao accompanied by the sound of the waves, and no one opened their eyes until the evening, this time the sound seemed to be much longer than the last time, and many people who had been here many times had this feeling.

Yu Ziyu woke up at noon, but when she woke up, she found that she was no longer on the sea rock. She settled down after being surprised, because she saw Zhang Ling and Zhang Yao coming from outside. It was a small wooden house, with only a bed, a table and a chair, and it couldn't be more basic.

"Miss Ziyu woke up, but did you get anything?" Zhang Yao asked, her voice was cold, but her face was peaceful, making people feel that she seemed to be smiling, which did not quite match her voice.

Yu Ziyu nodded and said: "I have gained a lot, I have been in this realm for a while, and I didn't want to break through, but I didn't expect to almost break through after listening to the scriptures today." She looked around and asked, confused, "How did I get here?"

"This is where we live, and Master and Master are cultivating here. Zhang Yao said, "You don't have to worry, it was Master who brought you here, and he wants to meet you." ”

Yu Ziyu was a little shocked in her heart, although she was in cultivation, she would still feel it if someone touched her, but from Haiyan to here, she didn't feel it at all, how powerful was that person's cultivation?

"Who is your master, and why did he see me?" asked Yu Zi in confusion.

Zhang Ling smiled mysteriously: "You have seen my master, as for what is the matter, I don't think it is a big deal, it just depends on your good qualifications, and you have moved the heart of the apprentice!"

"Have you seen your master?" Yu Zi was puzzled, and suddenly, her eyes widened, and she asked in surprise, "Your master is an old man from the South China Sea?"
