For a few minutes, neither of them spoke, and the seeds of silence seemed to choke their throats. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Han Chuang just stared at the old man's face, trying to find any clues in it, but this was destined to disappoint him, the old man's face was absolutely nothing but a polite and polite smile.

Even the wrinkles that condense the glory of a lifetime seem to have become ordinary.

Finally, Han Chuang took the lead in speaking: "The old man invited me over, it didn't just want to invite me to a cup of tea." As he spoke, he stared at the old man tightly, his eyes firmly fixed on him.

The old man smiled, his dry lips slightly opened: "I am the ancestor of the Nie family. ”

Han Chuang's heart moved, and he almost couldn't control his emotions, but he was always a martial artist, and the control of a martial artist was by no means comparable to ordinary people.

On the surface, he hasn't changed anything from before.

"I don't understand what you mean. ”

The old man smiled, "Am I not clear enough?"

"No," Han Chuang stared at him, "it's just that I can't believe it." ”

"Why don't you believe it. The old man kept smiling, and the dry wrinkles were huddled together like a giant walnut for a moment.

Han Chuang frowned, he felt that the old man's eyes seemed to know everything, at least, all the rhythms of his heart, he was a little overwhelmed, trying to dodge this gaze, but until he spoke, he was unsuccessful.

"A stranger suddenly told me that he was the ancestor of my lover, do you think I would believe it?" Han Chuang said calmly.

"What about this?" the old man suddenly took out a token from his bosom, thuded it, and threw it on the table.

Han Chuang fixed his eyes and saw that this token was not iron or jade, but it was shining brightly, the whole body was black, and a gilded Nie character was written in the center, which was not a font commonly used now, but an ancient li, which was a fairly ancient script, and it was no longer common except for some sacrifices.

Han Chuang had heard Nie Qingqing talk about this token, saying that it was a symbol of their Nie family's ancestor, but it had disappeared with the Nie family's ancestor, and she also said that if someone held this token, even if he was not the ancestor of the Nie family, it was related to the ancestor.

Thinking of this, Han Chuang frowned and said in a deep voice, "Where did you get this thing?"

The old man smiled, "It's my own." ”

"No way, as far as I know, the owner of this token is dead. ”

"I'm dead. ”

Han Chuang shook his head, "Old man, it's not good to lie emptyly, you are clearly still alive, how can you be dead?"

The old man burst out laughing, loud and clear. "When you see me alive, I live? In fact, I am dead, and I cannot die again, and what you see may not be true. ”

Han Chuang shook his head, he didn't think what he saw was fake, he who had the ability to understand the subtleties, he might not be able to see through some special formations, but he could easily distinguish the truth and falsehood of a person in front of him. Although the old man in front of him was dying, he was clearly still alive, his blood was still flowing in his veins, his heart was still beating, his lungs were still breathing, and he was even laughing.

How could such a person be a dead person? Han Chuang didn't believe it, and he would never believe it.

The old man seemed to see what Han Chuang was thinking, opened his mouth, and said softly: "You don't believe it, I can't help it, I am the ancestor of the Nie family, and I am also dead, I have to tell you one thing next, you must listen to it." ”

The old man had been so serious for the first time since Han Chuang came in, and his eyes changed from the previous chaos to become bright.

"You have to deal with the demons of your heart. ”

"Nope. ”

"Don't deny it, your eyes have betrayed you. ”

Han Chuang was a little unsure, although he could control most of the changes in his body, some subtle changes were still difficult to master, just like the old man said that the eyes, in short, were a kind of movement of the pupils, not everyone could control them perfectly, at least Han Chuang couldn't do it.

The old man smiled and said, "Okay, young man, don't think about it anymore, you didn't show any flaws before, but when I said that you showed flaws, you really showed flaws." ”

Han Chuang secretly screamed, thinking to himself how could he make a mistake on this issue, the old man didn't see his flaws at all, but he used a sentence to induce him to reveal his flaws, obvious flaws.

"Old man, good means. Han Chuang complimented, the old man smiled slightly, and said: "The means are not good or bad, nor can they be said to be clever, but they are only effective for you." ”

Han Chuang smiled bitterly, what else could he say about the flaws he exposed?

The wind blows, the bell rings, it is a wind chime hanging in the eaves, the design is not like a wind chime at all, but it can move, it can make a sound, so it is a wind chime.

The old man glanced at the wind chime, frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "He's here." ”

"Who?"

The old man shook his head and motioned for Han Chuang to silence him, and there was a sound of "tuk, tuk, tuk" in the distance, like the sound of some kind of stick tapping on the ground, other than that, there was no difference, no footsteps, no breathing, and no familiar human heat, but Han Chuang saw a figure coming out of the fog.

The man with his head wrapped in gauze was missing a leg and was replaced by a metal frame, so when he walked, he made a "tu, tu" sound.

He walked into the room, ignored Han Chuang, and went straight to find a vacant seat to sit down. Han Chuang noticed that his eyes were hollow and lifeless, like a shell that had been sucked out of his soul.

The old man whispered, "You crossed the line." ”

"How?" said the man, the sound of two pieces of metal rubbing against each other.

"It's not time yet. The old man said something inexplicable.

The person who came "giggled" twice, as if laughing, "It's a matter of time." ”

"But you're still early. The old man sneered and said, "You are not welcome here, leave immediately." ”

The person who came didn't speak or understand, just turned his head and stared at Han Chuang with those empty eyes. For a few seconds, no one spoke. Eventually, the unpleasant sound broke the eerie silence.

"You're the one?"

Who is he asking? Is he asking me? Is he asking me? Who is that person? Han Chuang was full of doubts.

At this moment, I heard the old man say categorically: "What, are you afraid?"

There was a "gurgling" sound in the air, and this time Han Chuang heard it clearly, it was laughter, naked, undisguised laughter, creepy.

The old man snorted coldly, interrupting his laughter. "Enough, this is not the place for you to come. ”

The visitor turned his head and glanced at the old man, and an inexplicable smile suddenly appeared in his empty eyes, "Nie Qu, you're afraid." ”

Nie District!

This name exploded in Han Chuang's ears like a thunderclap. He had heard Nie Qingqing say that the ancestors of the Nie family were called Nie Qu, a very strange name, but the names of the people at that time were very strange, so it was not strange.

Is he really Qingqing's ancestor, or is it a play he played with this mysterious person? Han Chuang was a little unsure.

The token is true, and his words may be true, but what about his identity? The real lie is not all lies, but nine out of ten sentences, one is true.

Han Chuang felt that this old man's words were nine truths and one falsehood, although nine sentences were true, but the falsehood of that sentence was enough to make Han Chuang have a wrong judgment.

The old man, let's call him Nie Qu, Nie Qu smiled coldly, and said to the visitor: "I'm afraid or not, you know, a few years ago, I never said a word of fear, how can I be afraid now?"

The people who came laughed, laughing more violently and more unpleasantly. "You weren't afraid before because you didn't have a reason to be afraid, but now it's different. ”

Han Chuang felt that someone was looking at him, and the cold sweat suddenly crept down like a small worm.

Nie Qu's face also became strange, and he couldn't tell what kind of expression it was, but it was definitely not the kind of decadence that was at the mercy of others.

"Enough!" Nie Qu suddenly said, "It's a guest, let's have tea." With a wave of his right hand, the teapot was once again in the air, and a teacup flew out of nowhere and landed steadily in front of the visitor. The teapot was tilted, the water was gurgling, and for a while, the small room was filled with the fragrance of tea.

But instead of smelling the tranquility in the fragrance of tea, Han Chuang smelled a faint threat emanating from this mysterious person.

Nie Qu sneered and shouted, "With me here, you can't hurt him!"

This shout was like a thunderclap, which exploded in Han Chuang's ears, and he came to his senses and saw that the person who came had already fallen on the table, while Nie Qu was holding on to the foot of the table, revealing a tired look.

"What's wrong with you?" Han Chuang hurriedly went to help, and felt that something was wrong with his tentacles, this Nie District's arm was abnormally emaciated, like a withered branch, and his hand was trembling constantly.

"Nothing. Nie Qu let go of Han Chuang's hand and sat down again, "Now you can say that the person in the way has left." ”

Han Chuang glanced at the visitor, he was lying on the table and did not leave.

Nie Qu smiled weakly and said in a low voice, "Do you know who came just now?"

"I don't know. Han Chuang shook his head.

"It's something you want to deal with. ”

Han Chuang was shocked in his heart, and said secretly: "Isn't it the inner demon that I want to deal with?" Thinking so, he remained silent on the surface, "I don't understand what you mean." ”

Nie Qu smiled and said, "What are you still hiding so far, guarding against me? Presumably you are the one who those monks of the Beihai Zen Monastery found to suppress the demons in your heart." ”

"How do you know. ”

Nie District said: "We said it back then. He sighed, his eyes became misty and cloudy: "Back then, the teacher built this exquisite pagoda to suppress the demons, and the demons were suppressed as he expected, but some changes were found in it. ”

"What's going on?" Han Chuang stared at Nie Qu.

"Me. Nie Qu stretched out his finger and pointed at himself, "Back then, the teacher temporarily imprisoned the demon in the dungeon, and I was in charge of guarding it, but I didn't expect that I was seduced by him." ”

"What did you do?" Han Chuang frowned.

"Nothing was done. Nie replied, "But being lured is enough." He paused and continued, "The Linglong Pagoda was made by the teacher with the spirit of humanity, and I was fortunate to be the designer of the pagoda, but it was precisely because I became the designer of the pagoda that the pagoda itself had a flaw. Although the flaw is not big, it is enough for the demon to get out of trouble after a thousand years. ”

"Fallen?" the word suddenly popped out of Han Chuang's mouth.

Nie Qu was stunned and nodded helplessly, "That's right, I'm fallen, although the teacher didn't blame me, but I still can't forgive myself, it's me who gave the demon a chance to get out of trouble, at that time the pagoda was completed, and it was impossible to start over, so I locked my spiritual sense in the pagoda to fight against the demon, but—"

"But you have him, he has you, right?" Nie Qu didn't finish speaking, but Han Chuang already knew how powerful it was, the so-called flaw should be that the inner demon left a moment of seed on Nie Qu's body, this kind of internal destruction is inevitable, and it is difficult to be delayed.

Nie Qu sighed and said, "The teacher saw this back then, so he only accepted the apprentices later in case of emergency. He looked at Han Chuang, "Now that you can get here, it must be the guidance of the monk who passed through the Beihai Zen Temple." ”

"That's right, it was through his guidance. Han Chuang said, at this point, he was already convinced of Nie District.

"The one who just came here is the inner demon?" he asked.

Nie Qu said: "That's right, it's the inner demon, he has already sensed your appearance." ”

Han Chuang asked again, "What are those guardians along the way?"

"That's what he did. Nie Qu smiled bitterly, "I thought I could fight against him, and I never wanted to be trapped in Baoshan, I underestimated him too much." ”

Han Chuang smiled bitterly, "With all due respect, if you can't deal with him, then I will definitely be able to deal with him?"

"Not necessarily. Nie Qu didn't shy away from it, "But you are the one who is most likely to suppress him." ”

"I don't understand. ”

"It's very simple," Nie Qu looked at Han Chuang and suddenly laughed, "Little brother, aren't you from this world?"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a sharp sword piercing Han Chuang's chest, he was stunned, and said in a low voice: "I don't understand what you mean. ”

Nie Qu said with a smile: "Little brother doesn't have to hide in front of me, although what the old man has learned, although it is less than one-ten-thousandth of the teacher's, but if you say that you can see people, it is still extremely accurate." Your physical body is the physical body of this world, but your spiritual consciousness is not. ”

Han Chuang opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only smile bitterly: "That's right, I'm not from this world." ”

"That's right. Nie Qu laughed, "Back then, the teacher once said that there are other worlds outside the sky, and now it seems to be true. Every world has its own specific rules, and your spiritual consciousness is not of this world, so the rules of this world can't help you. ”

"What do you mean?"

Nie District said: "I mean, the heart demon can confuse me, can suppress all the demons and ghosts in this pagoda, and can even affect the thoughts of people in the world, but it can't affect you." ”

Han Chuang took a deep breath and tried his best to digest the impact of Nie Qu's words, but the more he so, the more he felt that Nie Qu's words were a little incredible.

That's normal, and any ordinary person who hears that he has become a savior will probably think like this: Is this true? Impossible, there is no such possibility.

Nie Qu seemed to see what Han Chuang was thinking, and said with a smile: "You don't have to have too much pressure. ”

Han Chuang smiled bitterly: "Mr. Nie, you have said so, how can I not have pressure." ”

Nie Qu shook his head and said calmly: "The pressure comes from the heart, the heart is calm, the pressure dissipates suddenly, you can try." After speaking, he took Han Chuang's hand and crossed a wisp of true qi.

"Follow my guidance and let the true qi run in your body. ”

Han Chuang closed his eyes, let Nie Qu control the true qi, and roamed in his body, a week was quickly completed, Han Chuang exhaled a mouthful of waste qi and opened his eyes.

"What does it feel like. Nie asked with a smile.

"Calm. Han Chuang replied, "It's unprecedentedly calm." ”

Nie Qu said: "You come from another world, so you have always rejected your identity, and there has never been a time of peace; now you should recognize your identity and have you heard of the mysteries of Buddhist practice?"

"I've heard that," Han Chuang said, "Buddhism cultivates the next life, and talks about the cultivation of the tenth life, in order to reach the realm of heaven." These are all things he heard from the non-monks, and he doesn't know whether they are right or wrong, but they are in line with the Buddhist teachings of his previous life, and they must be right.

Nie Qu showed a hint of surprise on his face, "It seems that you have a good relationship with the monk of Beihai Zen Monastery, and he even tells you this." ”

Han Chuang was surprised and said, "These things are secrets?"

"Secret. Nie Qu nodded, "Most of the sects in this world cherish themselves, and the methods related to cultivation are naturally secret. ”

Han Chuang smiled and told Nie Qu about not being a monk, and Nie Qu also laughed when he heard it, "Beihai Zen Monastery actually has such a strange thing, it's really - what he told you, but the secret of the sect is not passed on, and only core disciples are qualified to know, you must remember not to leak it out, otherwise, Beihai Zen Monastery may be difficult to rest with you." ”

Han Chuang touched his head and said suspiciously, "Is it so serious?"

"Of course. Nie said, "You think, Buddhism cultivates the next life, and the memory of this person's past life will be washed away, and the monks of Beihai Zen Monastery will keep their memories on the relics before they are reincarnated, and they can retrieve their memories as long as they touch the relics in the next life." ”

"And what if you don't have a chance to touch it?"

This is what the Buddhists call the Dharma. Nie District said, "If you have a fate, you will definitely touch it, and if you don't have a fate, you can't force it." ”

After a pause, he continued: "You can preserve the memories of your previous life, it's really a strange art, I think that the monk of the Beihai Zen Monastery is probably also trying to wake you up, so he told you this." ”

Han Chuang thought about it, and also felt that it made sense, and said bluntly: "At that time, I thought it was strange, this guy has always been playful, why did he suddenly become serious at that time, it turns out that there is such a reason." ”

Nie Qu smiled: "That's right. ”

Han Chuang said: "Mr. Nie helped me solve my doubts, it seems that I want to thank you." ”

Nie Qu shook his head and said, "There is no need to say thank you, I am also thinking about myself." Seeing that Han Chuang was still puzzled, he continued: "Although the heart demon can't tempt you, with your strength, I'm afraid you won't be able to overcome the difficulties in the future, so the old man is waiting for you at this level." ”
