The sky is full of wind and rain, a touch of thunder marks alone breaks through the clouds, reflecting the small world, only the stone statue stands on the hill.

In front of the stone statue, the monk holds the wooden fish, and does not knock it.

As if asking, waiting for the stone statue's explanation.

"Of course I'm not." The statue spoke, but the monk remained still, apparently not satisfied with the answer, or not convinced at all.

The stone statue continued: "I walked the world with the old swordsman since I was a child, was taught by him, and was enlightened by him, and later in Qianluo Mountain, I learned the method of guiding and practicing qi with my senior sister, and finally inherited the position of the river god, and believed in Jinghe and Baling, so that I am today." ”

Chen Jing explained.

Mu Zhen said suddenly: "You don't have to explain. With that, he lowered his head and closed his eyes, and knocked on the wooden fish around the stone statue.

The grass on the ground had been trampled out of a blank space by him.

There was a laugh from the stone statue, and then he said: "Then do you think what I said is right or not, no matter what, if you live alone, you must first live alone." ”

Chen Jing's solitary life does not simply refer to a living life, but to an independent thought, as a cultivator, you must have an independent thought, otherwise, then you are not a cultivator, at most just a warlock, a monk. He believed that Mu Zhen knew what he meant, and Mu Zhen must have known, and after he circled around the stone statue a few times, he suddenly said: "What you said is not wrong, but it may not be right, I can't refute you now." ”

With that, he sat down under the stone statue, letting the storm lap on his body, and his hand knocking on the wooden fish again and again.

If you want to divide the people in the world, there are only three categories, one is the one who is the same as the clouds, the second type is the one who chooses to listen to the words and believes, and the third is the one who has independent thoughts. This is the kind of person Chen Jing is talking about, and if you want to become this kind of person, you must go through a long period of cultivation.

Chen Jing believes that the kind of person who follows the clouds is not a person who lives alone.

He didn't know if Mu Zhen couldn't refute it or couldn't refute it, although he didn't know, but his goal had been achieved, because Mu Zhen was already trying to extinguish the spark of thought that didn't belong to him that was burning in his heart. Because the wooden fish in his hand was very firm, it was obvious that he had decided to be a cultivator who lived alone.

In Mu Zhen's mind, everything that happens in the world is just a thought compared to the real world.

The golden-bodied Buddha statue in the sky above Qinghua Palace suddenly looked towards the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, just this glance, it was like a hole through time and space, and when he saw Mu Zhen's heart, he saw him sitting alone on the stone statue knocking on the wooden fish.

He only glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze and answered the question from the prince of the demon clan sitting in the Ziwei Palace.

"Words and deeds are appearances, and everything I say and do is the same mind. Whether it is thunder and demons or leading people to goodness, they all come from one heart, the same is true for goshawks, and the same is true for grasshoppers. The monk in the golden light said.

The prince laughed and said, "Monk, do you know what modesty and prudence are? ”

"Whether he is modest and cautious or arrogant, it is only because his heart is not at peace, it is not as good as one. That's why he needs to be humble and cautious, which is his fear of human words, which is no different from arrogance. That's what I think in my heart, and I want to do this, why don't I dare to say this. "Taiyi in Qinghua Palace rescued the suffering, and the mouth of the eight golden bodies above Qinghua Palace said. The feeling that the world is so big that I don't want to take anyone is overwhelming. Someone in Qinghua Palace chanted and sang the Buddha's name, and other people frowned one by one after hearing his words, and their bodies rushed with brilliance, as if they wanted to resist the majesty of the golden-bodied Buddha statue in the sky above Qinghua Palace, but it was a feeling that went straight to the heart, and it was not something that foreign magic weapons and spells could resist. So they all turned into spiritual light and flew up, far away. However, he saw a spiritual light flying from the nether realm, and pious worship in front of Qinghua Palace.

The prince of the demon clan was furious in his heart, because among the people who worshiped in front of Qinghua Palace, there were many people from the demon clan who had just opened their minds and flew to Qinghua Palace.

Suddenly, a fireworks-like brilliance appeared in the sky above Ziwei Palace, faintly like the cry of a giant bird. In the cry, those birds hovering in the upper palace of Qinghua Palace fell one by one on the roof of Qinghua Palace, and in the blink of an eye, there were hundreds of birds coming to the auspicious scene and turned into dead corpses all over the roof of the palace.

"Monk, what about your mercy, why don't you save them? Don't you feel guilty that so many lives have died because of you? The prince of the demon clan sat in the hall and said loudly.

The eight golden bodies of the Qinghua Palace opened his mouth and said: "The prince killed him, how can he say that he is a poor man? In ancient times, there were heavenly demons who came to confuse sentient beings, but they said that sentient beings were sinful, and the prince's words were similar to the words of heavenly demons. ”

"It turns out that this is the words of Lingshan Shizun to erect a monument for people, this is the Qinghua Palace Taiyi Salvation Theory, you say the words of the heavenly devil today, and you will be able to convict others tomorrow. What an eye-opener. The demon prince laughed loudly.

The words of the two people echoed above the nine heavens, and the gray qi above the Ziwei Palace was surging, and the gray qi was constantly changing into various beast shapes, extremely realistic, with all kinds of forms and gods, but they were constantly changing, one appeared, and the other disappeared.

"The prince's words are also very wrong, all heavenly souls are born with a certain number of life and death, but practice can change the destiny of heaven, they look at the Dharma of our Buddha, have an epiphany of the past, even if they die now, they are also peaceful souls, he will be reborn in my blissful world one day, and will no longer suffer from the cycle of life and death."

"Elysium? Is there one in this world? False words are also spoken above these nine heavens and listened to the heavenly beings of this week. The prince's voice spread above the nine heavens, and the monks in the sky and clouds could hear it.

"There is no Elysium in the world, but after there are beings of Elysium, Elysium exists, and Elysium exists in the hearts of every living being, and every living being can enter and enjoy Elysium forever." The words spoken by the Zhangba golden body in the sky above Qinghua Palace are always so solemn and serious, which makes people can't help but be convinced. Even if he was talking about things that didn't exist in the world, even those monks who had advanced cultivation couldn't help but wonder if there really was such a place.

When the two of them were discussing the Tao here, there was a clear light suddenly rushing up in the sky above the Shenxiao Yuqing Mansion, the clear light was like water, and a person sat up from the light of the clear rhyme like water, and stood up straight, the Taoist clothes and crowns on this person's body were extremely clear, like the real thing, but his face was not clear and hazy. His body continued to grow, and when he finally leaned out, he had already reached the top of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall.

From a distance, it was a giant man leaning over and staring at the palace below.

The huge Taoist suddenly opened a mouth on his face, and with a loud roar, the Lingxiao Treasure Hall seemed to shake, only to see a stone statue appear on the house of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, and the stone statue seemed to be in the water.

The stone statue was expressionless, but his eyes seemed to be alive, and in the face of this Taoist family's top-level supernatural power, he didn't have any fear at all, but only a kind of stillness that let the heavens fall apart and I stood still.

The giant sitting up in the clear light is the incarnation of the Taoist outside the body, also known as the Dao Spirit, which is manifested by a thought of gathering spiritual power for the body, and the Dao Spirit can have the strength of the caster, depending on the realm of the caster. It is said that this is the supernatural power realized by the Taoist ancestor, and he has incarnated several out-of-body incarnations in a single thought, all of which have the eight-point strength of the Taoist ancestor, and this out-of-body incarnation also has the advantage that it does not have to be controlled by the master, and it is inanimate, so it is one of the several supernatural powers that Taoists must practice.

This roar is a huge threat to Chen Jing himself, both inside and outside, Chen Jing is not afraid of it, but inside it is like boiling water, and Chen Jing is like the lid on the pot.

He had already tried his best to suppress so many people with his god statue, and with the roar of this Dao Spirit, the corners of the eyebrows of four of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall immediately jumped, as if they were going to wake up at any time. But if any of them woke up, it would be disastrous for Chen Jing. So Chen Jing couldn't let them wake up at all. Among the four, Zhengyang is the sharpest.

In Zhengyang's inner world is full of blood red, dead corpses all over the ground, those dead corpses are still his brothers, the corpse is a stone statue before, and there is a black long sword in the palm of the stone statue, and the sword name is Killing Immortals.

These are the deepest memories in Zhengyang's heart, and they are his deepest. This is a scene on Jinao Island, but at that time, the Sword of Killing Immortals was not in the hands of the stone statue, but on a sword frame, and those senior brothers and sisters all stepped forward to draw their swords, and after being devoured by the Sword of Killing Immortals, their blood dried up and died.

Now the sword was held in the stone statue's hand, and the hatred in his heart was transformed into the stone statue.

This scene is the embodiment of his deepest memories, like a demon in his heart.

Chen Jing felt his pain, it was an indescribable pain, his junior brother, senior brother, and master all died one by one, and in the end he was the only one left, that kind of pain, the kind of burden and hatred that carried the revival of Jinao Island, and finally mixed into madness, crazy murderous. In this small hall, it was slowly filled with killing energy, Chen Jing knew that he was going to pull out the Killing Immortal Sword, this was not what he wanted, in Zhengyang's memory, the Killing Immortal Sword was pulled out by him. And at this time, he will definitely be able to pull it out, under his crazy killing intent, Chen Jing knows that it is difficult for him to suppress him anymore, even if he can suppress him, he can't suppress the Immortal Killing Sword.

Therefore, Chen Jing wanted to break his artistic conception that slowly became single, so that he would no longer pull out the immortal sword. In Zhengyang's memory, no one appeared at this time, and no one spoke.

The stone statue suddenly spoke: "You can't pull out this sword." ”

Zhengyang approached step by step and stopped, very surprised, it seemed that he couldn't figure it out, but he just couldn't figure out how the stone statue spoke, he didn't seem to remember that this was in his own state of mind, not reality, and seemed to forget that he was in the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.

"My senior brother, junior brother, and master all died because of pulling this immortal sword, why can't you pull it out?" Zhengyang asked coldly.

"It's because your senior brother and brother all died because of this sword, so you can't pull it out." The stone statue said.

A trace of doubt flashed in Zhengyang's eyes, but he was quickly replaced by a killing machine, only to hear him say: "You demon, you are the one who is preventing us from drawing our sword, you are the one who made them die, I will kill you......"

He shouted loudly, and finally pounced on the stone statue without saying a word, and pulled out the sword of killing immortals in the stone statue's hand, and a sword light flew away, and the sword light swept over the head of the stone statue, and the head of the stone statue immediately fell down.
