Volume 2 The Road to Immortality Chapter 12 Disillusionment and Extinction of the Pure Dust
At night, Taiyue Temple is always filled with candles, incense smoke, and a stream of cyan smoke rises in the mountains, and then slowly mixes with the fog, in the night, like a fluttering phantom, flickering and dimming. However, this place is located in the distant mountains, sparsely populated, and everything seems to be exceptionally silent, only the sound of the wooden fish chanting the sutra echoes clearly in the mountains.
Taiyue Temple has long since closed its doors and no longer accepts pilgrims. However, in the darkness, a figure flashed in front of the heavy gate of Taiyue Temple, shook again, and disappeared again, the figure was like a nighthawk, flying lightly through the heavy portal of Taiyue Temple, and there was no sound where it passed. The figure did not stop in any of the courtyards, and went directly to the highest point of Taiyue, where the sound of gurgling water could be faintly heard, and it was between the mountainsides that a small pagoda stood.
"That's right, it should be here, the dust grass seems to be here." The dark shadow looked up and said to himself. This is between the two peaks, a narrow rock crevice in the middle, cold and cold, the murmuring stream is slowly flowing into the gap from the mountain, one wall is yin, the other is sunny, it is the best place to grow the dust grass. Tierou is here for this dust-sheltering grass.
Seeing this, Tie Rou jumped up lightly and landed on the top of the mountain silently. There is nothing but a stupa at the top of the mountain, only a clear spring flowing slowly, slowly flowing down the valley, making a gurgling sound of dripping water, and the source of the trickle comes from a pool of clear water under the stupa, shining quietly in the night. Tie Rou's eyes lit up, because around the waterhole, there were several clusters of fiery red spirit grass, swaying in the night wind, constantly emitting a faint fluorescence, that is, the dust grass, the faint fluorescence was a mature stamen, Yingying flew down.
Tie Rou couldn't help but take a breath, the mountain breeze was gentle, and his heart was refreshing, where he avoided the dust, the smoke and dust were not clean, it was really a pure place for Buddhism, Tie Rou sighed. Although it is only a corner of the land, the aura is dense, and even the small pagoda is as white as new and spotless. Tie Rou put away a few dust-sheltering grasses, turned around and was about to jump down, but suddenly stopped.
"Grass to avoid dust, born to the lotus", he slowly looked at the bottom of the pagoda, and a thought suddenly flashed in his heart that excited him, and he couldn't help but walk over slowly. When he walked to the front of the pagoda and saw a spiritual light in front of him, his heart was surging. couldn't help blurting out, "It's really a pure dust lotus!" ”
Just under the small stupa, in a pool of clear spring water, several white lotus flowers float leisurely, squeezing each other together like life, and slowly drifting away, each lotus flower has a rainbow-like fluorescence, like the Buddha's light exudes an attacking aura. Pure Dust Lotus, Lotus of Life, Tie Rou blinked vigorously, he didn't expect that in this Taiyue Temple, under this insignificant little pagoda, there was such a legendary spiritual object. In Tie Rou's trivial memory, he vaguely remembered that the pure dust lotus, the Buddha's light was born, the vitality of heaven and earth, and spiritual things must appear, this rare spiritual grass in heaven and earth is almost something that can reverse life, how can there be so many plants in Taiyue Temple, which made Tie Rou surprised, he couldn't help but reach out to the past, touch which touch of spiritual light, and instantly a powerful breath of life surged all around his body, Tie Rou's whole body was flooded with a blue light, Tie Rou was stagnant, and his head instantly felt a lot more things.
Just as she was in doubt, Tie Rou's eyelids twitched, her body shook, and she disappeared between the peaks. As soon as Tie Rou disappeared, a fiery red figure appeared in an instant, and fell on the mountain peak like a stream of fire. The scarlet armor, the spear stood upright, and the fire was circulating at the top of the spear, and then slowly burrowed into the body of the spear and disappeared.
The fiery red figure waved his hand and threw a black shadow heavily on the ground, a muffled snort sounded, the black shadow slowly squirmed a few times, and slowly sat up, it was actually an injured old monk. The spear of the red-armored man pointed directly at the monk's throat, and shouted sharply: "Leave the suffering, say quickly, where is the Pure Dust Lotus?" Otherwise, I will destroy you Taiyue up and down, and no one will be left. ”
Master Liku was now indifferent, his eyes were slightly closed, and after reciting the Buddha's name, he said slowly: "The things that General Suzaku wants are under the pagoda, and you can take them yourself." ”
"General Suzaku", the iron soft pupils in the dark constricted, and he watched quietly, only to see General Suzaku walking to the pagoda in confusion, a few crystalline Buddha lights were reflected on his face full of evil energy, General Suzaku's eyes were full of endless desire, his cheeks trembled, and he looked at Master Liku, full of doubts: "This is really the Pure Dust Lotus, the Lotus of Life, so easy to get, you monk won't lie to me." ”
After being silent for a long time, he said weakly: "Pure dust, you can also be reborn, you can also purify your heart, the general is demonic, isn't he afraid of the Buddha's light to kill?" ”
General Suzaku's eyes were frosty: "Hmph, I was originally destined to General Suzaku to be reborn from the fire, who can stop it." Bald donkey, say quickly, say anything else, lest General Ben be forced to ask. ”
Sitting on the ground, the Buddha seemed to have seen through life and death, quietly like a sculpture, the Buddha's shadow was clearly imprinted on the ground, and he said in a deep voice: "The answer that the general wants is in the pagoda." ”
"Pagoda", General Suzaku hesitated to glance, and finally walked to the side of the white pagoda that was one person high, this pagoda was as white as jade, and under the light of the Buddha below, it seemed to be crystal clear throughout, I don't know what material it was. And in a space under the top of the tower, there is a quaint wooden box. General Suzaku was stunned, took out the wooden box tremblingly, glanced at the unusually calm detachment, or cautiously put it on the ground, it seems that General Suzaku is still wary of detachment, he seems to pay attention to every detail, for fear that if he makes a mistake or miss, it will be difficult for him to protect himself.
Seeing that he was a little spear, a stream of flames gushed out, directly hitting the wooden box, revealing a gray ancient book inside, which looked dilapidated and old, but it could emit a powerful aura of ancient wilderness. The curls are shrouded in a layer of spiritual power, which looks extremely mysterious. General Suzaku's eyes lit up, he stretched out his hand and took out the ancient scroll, and after reading it, he showed a deep groan, and read quietly: "The disillusionment is gone, the dust is clear, the daughter of the East is the spirit of the mountain, leave a wisp of Dao marks, and General Suzaku will soar." ”
The text of the ancient scroll flashes brightly, flowing with clouds and water, showing a majestic atmosphere.
General Suzaku's eyes exuded endless greed: "Ascension, I can really ascend." Hahaha, since then, there has only been one Suzaku general, and the only one. General Suzaku looked at Liku frantically, walked in front of him step by step, and said fiercely: "Disillusionment, what is it referring to, why did you never say it, and the vitality in Dongfang Yuqing's body, how can I obtain it, old bald donkey, say it quickly." ”
With a long sigh of suffering, he bitterly pronounced the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, what should come is still coming, maybe this is the punishment of peeping into the heavens." ”
In the face of the cold air of the silver spear of General Suzaku, Liku seemed to have already had a sense of detachment, his face was indifferent, and he said slowly: "Disillusionment and disillusionment, pure dust and brightness, are the two major spiritual grasses that represent disillusionment and rebirth, the phantom yin grass and the pure dust lotus, as for the mountain spirit vitality in the body of the oriental woman, it can only be given to the general if she is willing, and the latter one, the general already knows, so the old man will not say more." ”
Tie Rou in the dark was also stunned when he heard this, about the Phantom Yin Grass, his memory seemed to be chaotic, but there seemed to be some vague fragments of consciousness in the confusion that were slowly rotating and combining, and Tie Rou trembled.
"Phantom Yin Grass, it turned out to be Phantom Yin Grass." The corners of General Suzaku's mouth are trembling, mortals have pursuits and desires for life, General Suzaku is also a mortal after all, the sun is soaring, what a temptation, General Suzaku can't cross this moat.
General Suzaku tried his best to calm down the churning in his heart, quickly took off the Pure Dust Lotus, and carefully put it into the jade box that had been prepared, the Buddha light flashed on his dark face, General Suzaku's eyes had become fierce, and he pointed at the Buddha shadow of the suffering with his gun, but his eyes were closed like a rock, and he said leisurely: "The alien flies down, the Suzaku flies, and the general is afraid that it will be difficult to escape the doom, and the old man will not bother the general." ”
The wind moved from the bitter beard, his throat shook a few times, and a trace of blood protruded from the corner of his mouth, he sat quietly on the mountain peak, like a Buddha shadow, but the person had no breath.
General Suzaku stared for a moment, lowered his eyebrows and glanced at the thing in his arms, no longer lingering, turned into a stream of fire, and flew away in an instant, but he didn't know that not long after he left, a figure jumped up the mountain, looked at the detachment and pagoda on the ground, and groaned......
Qifeng Pavilion, bright moon and clear breeze -
Dongfang Yuqing looked at the delicious dishes on Isogami with a blank face, but she held a delicate wine jug in her hand, swaying slowly, with rusty temples and makeup, as delicate as a picture. After a while, Qianying moved slightly, she turned her head sideways, and said softly, "Zhu'er, you go down, let me be alone for a while." ”
Zhu'er, who was standing behind her, rolled her eyes for a while, but she still left in response. In the entire wind pavilion, except for the green willows, it is the back of the solitary drink. It's just that at this moment, a vague figure appeared in front of her in a flash, and his expression was still indifferent, but it seemed to be a little less confused.
Tie Rou had doubts in her eyes and asked indifferently, "How did you know that I was here." ”
Dongfang Yuqing's willow eyebrows were slightly upturned, looking very tender, Tie Rou couldn't help but be stunned, only to hear Dongfang Yuqing say tactfully: "Don't you find that every time you appear, you have a faint medicinal fragrance?" ”
Tie Rou smelled her clothes, smiled indifferently, and sat opposite her, Dongfang Yuqing picked up the wine jug and poured a cup for Tie Rou, stroked it lightly, took off the veil, revealed a superb face, and smiled: "Take a sip of the best wine in Qingzhou, they all call it Gentle Township, and I named it Lover's Tears." ”
Tie Rou smiled, raised his head and drank: "Why are you called Lover's Tears?" ”
Dongfang Yuqing raised her white neck, her lips opened slightly, and she also drank a glass, with an autumn color in her eyes: "Do you know what kind of wine is unique to this place?" ”
Tie Rou shook her head, looking at that charming face, Dongfang Yuqing didn't seem to shy away from Tie Rou's gaze, and continued: "Only Qinglou can have this kind of wine, drunk and gentle, and it is also a kind of happiness. ”
"Oh" Tie Rou took another drink, savoring it with interest.
Dongfang Yuqing continued: "Actually, I envy those women, at least every day is very happy, and there are many men who are sought after. Dongfang Yuqing also drank a glass of wine, smiled sadly, her face bloomed like a pear blossom, and continued: "So in my place, the gentle township has become a lover's tears. ”
Dongfang Yuqing picked up the wine glass, and Tie Rou touched it hard, both of them raised their heads and drank cleanly, Dongfang Yuqing elegantly covered her lips, and Tie Rou showed her pride, the night breeze caressed, and both of them had a blurry night in their eyes, one melancholy, one confused, whether it was gentle or lover's tears, it seemed that it no longer mattered.
"Have you ever been drunk?" Dongfang Yuqing's cheeks are pink, and her wrist is already propped up on her cheeks, she seems to be a little drunk, and her eyes are shining.
"I vaguely remember getting drunk once, and I forgot who I was drinking with, but not a woman." Tie Rou replied.
"Did you know a lot of women before?" Oriental jade has unconsciously crouched on the rock, with bright eyes and cherry lips, and beautiful contours.
Tie Rou gently pressed her head and shook it, and was confused again: "I can't remember, there seem to be many faces, and there seems to be a snake." ”
"Does that snake look as good as me?" Dongfang Yuqing twisted her waist softly, standing up the jade peak high, looking extremely delicate.
Tie Rou also seemed to be a little confused, her eyes looked straight at Dongfang Yuqing's body, looking up and down carefully, as if she was appreciating something that she was interested in, and then said slowly: "I don't know, the memory is very vague, and you are real." ”
Dongfang Yuqing leaned over and posed in a graceful posture, took a big sip of wine, and his eyes were as gentle as water: "But you see that there is no desire in my eyes, is it that I am not good-looking or I can't see it really enough." ”
Dongfang Yuqing was already slightly drunk, her lips and eyes were full of spring, her jade hand stroked her cheeks, slowly touched her own placket, her wrist was lightly pulled, and she gently unbuttoned a button, revealing her neck like snow, and her eyes looked at Tie Rou like water.
Tie Rou didn't avoid his eyes anymore, he swallowed a glass of wine arrogantly, his eyes seemed to flash blue, and he instantly regained his calm, with a wave of his long sleeves, a breeze swept across Dongfang Yuqing's cheeks, Dongfang Yuqing's sideburns danced, and the autumn water fluctuated for a while, and it seemed to wake up in an instant, staring at Tie Rou in a daze, and said gloomily: "Yes, you have seen it a long time ago, no matter how good the skin is, you can only spend the rest of your life empty, and no matter how beautiful your face is, you can't change the fate of the daughter of the East." What kind of Suzaku son, the stranger is shocked, it is all a lie. ”
Tie Rou just looked at this gentle woman silently, and said indifferently, "What can I do for you?" ”
Dongfang Yuqing raised her head, and looked at Tie Rou with a pear-like face: "It doesn't matter, my father has promised to prepare for the ceremony in advance, send me to the General's Mansion, and the Vermilion Bird will fly away, and this legend will become an eternal legend." ”
"Come, let's continue to drink" Dongfang Yuqing's face was cold at the moment, and Tie Rou continued to drink.
"Tell me your story."
"I don't even remember."
"Then tell me about what you remember."
"Good"
……
The moon shadow moved westward, Tie Rou didn't know how many cups he drank, but it seemed that the more he drank, the more chaotic his mind became, and some vague shadows were born for no reason, but he couldn't remember at all, he shook his head vigorously, and between the soft body of Dongfang Yuqing had turned upside down, Tie Rou stretched out his hand to stop it. She was already drunk, drunk and drowsy, Ruxue's cheeks seemed to be smiling, a smell of fragrance came to her nose, Tie Rou looked at it for a long time, and her eyes became clear: "Sure enough, there is a vague aura in this woman's body, which seems to be hidden by something, and it is indeed difficult to find it if you don't look closely, is it the trace of the Tao in the mouth of the bitter?" ”
Tie Rou looked at the Dongfang Yuqing in his arms, it seemed that there were some things that he couldn't understand, he was thinking about it, his eyelids trembled, Tie Rou's eyes were cold, and the sleeping Dongfang Yuqing's body floated away a few feet in an instant. At the moment of drifting away, a few bits of black flew over Tie Rou's shoulder, hitting the wooden pillar of the pavilion, making a dull trill, and it was actually a few sharp crossbow arrows, which were deeply nailed into the pillar.
The corners of Tie Rou's mouth twitched, she put down the oriental jade in her arms, and turned around slowly, her face showed indifference, and her clothes and sideburns fluttered like the wind. At this moment, several black shadows had already flashed into the wall, and only one person stood on the top of the high attic, silently watching Tie Rou.
"Presumably, Your Excellency is the person who fell from Taiyue Temple, the son of Suzaku?" The man in black asked in a deep voice.
Tie Rou smiled indifferently: "It seems to be?" ”
The man in black suddenly appeared: "Very good." ”
Tie Rou's eyes were cold: "General's Mansion? ”
The man in black also replied coldly: "Yes." ”
"Very good," Tie Rou's face was calm.
Several black-clothed people pulled out a cold short sword at the same time, flashed a cold light in the dark night, and rushed over almost in unison, at a glance, they knew that they were rare high-level killers, their sword blades were sharp, and they stabbed out from different directions in an instant, and they cooperated seamlessly, as if there would be no space left at any angle, shrouding Tie Rou under the shadow of the sword. The man in black on the top of the attic didn't move, he was fully confident that his killer had the strength to deal with a weak teenager.
Tie Rou stood upright indifferently, without the slightest movement, the sword light flashed a fine light in his pupils, almost piercing his clothes, Tie Rou's arms shook, and a blue light appeared around his body, the surface of the blue light carried a powerful gray and white aura, and it surged out in an instant, like a long rainbow rising into the sky, the sword tips of several black-clothed killers were frozen in an instant before they touched Tie Rou's clothes, and a vast thrust surged out, and several people flew out upside down like residual leaves, slamming on the wall, and falling to the ground without life.
Tie Rou's sideburns, clothes fluttering, horizontal eyebrows looking at the roof, eyes cold light, a burst of fierceness. The deputy general on the roof shuddered, and he didn't feel cold all over his body, his pupils shrank, and he didn't seem to believe the reality in front of him, several high-level killers were all wiped out in a few breaths, and the young man in front of him was almost effortless, he definitely couldn't do this, and even General Suzaku was afraid that it would be difficult to do it. He suddenly had the idea of running away, but it was obviously too late.
Tie Rou's face was like frost, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it gently, and several arrows and crossbows nailed to the wooden pillar seemed to have life, shaking a few times and slowly coming out, the tip of the arrow pointed at the deputy general smartly, Tie Rou's long sleeves waved, and the arrow crossbow flew out in an instant.
"Not good" the lieutenant screamed secretly, trying to get out in a hurry, but the black shadow flashed, swept out diagonally, and several arrows and crossbows almost grazed his cheeks, leaving a bloody mark on his face. The lieutenant general showed a look of horror, did not dare to stop any longer, swept up all around, and flew quickly beyond the palace wall.
I only heard a faint echo in my ear: "Since you are here, let's stay." The adjutant general's flying body was intuitively stagnant, and when did an indifferent face appear in front of him, appearing beside him like a ghost, he didn't wait for a shot, Tie Rou's fingertips had a little spiritual light, and it didn't enter his body, and instantly ignited a green fire, not even screaming, silent, and the deputy general no longer existed.
