On the Buddha platform, Guangze said about the murder more than 20 years ago, which affected Zhu Ziping's murderous intention, Zhu Ziping gritted his teeth and hated: "Why do you have to persecute my father? "Little donor, don't you still believe it, this Falling Sun Gong is the thing of my Jiuhua Sect?"

Zhu Ziping held the sunset in his hand: "How can I believe your words?" Guangze nodded: "Now that the sun is gone, who will keep a dream?" The nine-colored lotus opens, and the green bamboo and red maple are opened. This Zen is inscribed on the Bodhisattva Jin in the palace of the King of Jizo, it has been hundreds of years, and the little donor may wish to go and see it if he has the opportunity. ”

Zhu Ziping sneered: "I can't fight you now, once I have the opportunity, I will not go to see any Zen meditation, but I will take revenge!" Hirosawa clasped his hands together: "Nan has no great wish to hide the king of the Bodhisattva!" All laws are empty, and cause and effect are not empty. Little benefactor, if you want to take revenge, come to the old man. Zhu Ziping said angrily: "When I don't dare to kill you? A palm slapped out, and with a bang, Guang Ze took five steps back before stopping, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Guang Ze smiled miserably: "Twenty-one years ago, we began to realize that the 'who keeps dreams' in the verse originally referred to the river of dreams, but the price paid for this is miserable, if it wasn't for your father to fish out the sunset and touch the Dizang Palace, we wouldn't have found out that there is a providence in the dark...... After returning from Luzhou, I blamed myself, regretted killing and injuring more than 20 of my fellow disciples for the Falling Sun, and even regretted killing the three of your mothers who had nothing to do with the Sunset...... Although the three of your mothers and relatives were not killed by my own hands, they have a lot to do with me, and in frustration, they chose to retreat here and no longer care about the miscellaneous affairs of the Western Sect.

"But yesterday night, my heart was beating like I had been twenty-one years ago, and I couldn't settle down...... I guessed that there would be another murder, so I went down the mountain to Myoko-ji Temple, and saw that you were fighting with the people. Guang Ze pointed to the Falling Sun Gong and continued, "Although you wrapped this thing in a cloth, I saw that you actually broke the five-colored lotus array, so I expected it to be the Falling Sun Gong." I and your father are right and wrong, and I have the Jizo King Bodhisattva to judge right, but I don't want to see you die here, so I will save you. ”

Zhu Ziping said coldly: "Why didn't you fight back just now?" Your life was saved by you, but if you hadn't pursued the sunset, it wouldn't be what it is today. The eldest husband has clear grievances, should I thank you, or should I kill you? ”

"Bodhi is not a tree, and there is no mirror. Is this world all about thanking and killing? In the past 20 years, the abbot rarely cared about me, and he had been haunted by the sunset back then, thinking that I was not able to pursue it effectively. I know that he has always wanted Xizong to become the leader of the Jiuhua Sect and even all factions in the world, but how can this eagerness achieve positive results...... Four months ago, he asked someone to come and tell me that a nine-colored lotus flower would be born, but I had already jumped out of the Three Realms and was not reincarnated...... Little donor, so many disciples of my Jiuhua Sect are killed and injured in your hands, don't kill again, you go, I just hope you will be more generous to my sect in the future, thank you in advance! Guangze bowed deeply to Zhu Ziping.

Zhu Ziping didn't know how to answer, and was stunned for a long time, and Fang floated down the mountain. "Once the sun is gone, who will keep a dream? At that time, the king of the earth threw the sunset into the valley of the Liumeng River, and there must be a mystery in it. Guangze looked at Zhu Ziping's departing figure and sighed, "This son has a fate with me Jiuhua, who knows whether it is a gain or a loss." ”

At this time, Bianwang Village is also a round of sun rising, and the morning glow is full of sky. There was still no work in February in the countryside, and Changzhi leaned against the head of the shelf bed in a cotton jacket, and started a fire at Dumb: "Dumb, you went too far last night, scratching the door and making people not sleep well all night!" ”

Dumb shrunk his head, his forelimbs resting on his long shoes, as if he was asleep. Changzhi was so angry that he threw the pillow towel at Dumb: "Are you also angry with me?" The pig's head left without saying a word, and if you do this again, you can go with the pig's head! Ah lazily straightened his limbs, as if stretching his waist, stretched his head out, glanced at the long branch, opened his mouth as if yawning, then retracted his head, and fell asleep again.

In the old house of the Zhu family, Ouyang Lan was lying in Yan Yue's arms, she didn't know when she fell asleep, and in a daze, she saw Brother Zhu spread his arms, flying around a fire, and finally threw himself into the fire and burned.

Ouyang Lan was frightened and exclaimed: "Brother Zhu! But listening to Yan Yue's voice, he asked, "Lan'er?" Nightmares again? Ouyang Lan opened her eyes and saw Yan Yue hugging her, covering her with a quilt at some point, and asked with a red face, "I...... How did I fall asleep? Is Brother Zhu back? ”

Yan Yue responded: "Brother Zhu didn't come back overnight, I'm also very anxious, it's okay." Ouyang Lan chirped: "Dog, what are you talking nonsense again, of course Brother Zhu is fine!" Yan Yue didn't reply, and hugged Ouyang Lan tightly with his arms.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a cold wind blew in, and the two looked up, but saw Zhu Ziping standing at the door. Ouyang Lan said in a panic: "Brother Zhu, why did you only come back now, are you okay?" ”

Zhu Ziping shook his head: "It's okay, I want to rest." "Walked into the back room and lay on the bed, but his heart was like a mess, "Is the Falling Sun Gong really a thing of the Eastern Sect?" If so, my father took it out and took it away, and it was reasonable for people to ask for it, and my father knew the strangeness of the Falling Sun Gong and refused to return it to them, so he started to do it, but unexpectedly killed and injured many people, and my mother, brother and sister died because of this, it seems that this Falling Sun Gong is a bad thing. Father took away the sunset back then, was it wrong? But no, the sunset has been with me for so many days, communicating with my heart, always protecting me in times of crisis, how can it be a bad thing? …… It seems ominous, not the sunset but the hearts of the people!

"I wanted to find out about Jiuhua Xizong and seek revenge, but I was injured in Guangjing's hands, if it wasn't for Guangze who saved me...... But why did he save me? Could it be that he really regrets what he did twenty-one years ago, as he said? But I owe him a great grace to save my life, how can I take revenge? And the nine-colored lotus that they mentioned many times, what is it......"

Zhu Ziping put his hand on the pillow, thinking about it and finding it difficult to sort it out, and finally turned over and sat up, sighing: "That's it!" I can't fight them now, so I'll put this matter aside for now. Monk Guangze wants me to be more magnanimous, but if they provoke me again, they will not be spared. ”

In the next few days, Ouyang Lan cooked and cooked at the second uncle's house every day, Yan Yue accompanied Zhu Ziping to walk in the village, and the two watched the children "squeeze the oil residue" at the entrance of the village. Zhu Ziping remembered that he often played such games when he was a child, especially in winter, when everyone was crowded together and didn't feel cold, at that time he was the head of this group of children, always standing in the center, Wang Hou was next to him, shoulder to shoulder, squeezing towards Changbo and others. The girl watched the battle from the sidelines, and Changzhi stomped her feet and shouted, "Come on, Zhutou!" Come on! It sounded like "come on", Changmei covered her mouth and giggled.

Ergouzi rarely comes to play these days, helping Ouyang Lan do this and that, and when she is free, she looks at her and laughs, Ouyang Lan asks: "Ergouzi, what are you smiling at?" Ergouzi's face turned red, and he said unhurriedly: "Sister Ouyang is so beautiful, I grow up, I must marry Sister Ouyang." ”

Ouyang Lan scratched the tip of his nose: "The second dog is so small, he wants his daughter-in-law, is he ashamed?" The second dog stood on tiptoe and straightened his waist: "I'm ten years old, still young?" Sister Ouyang, look, I'm almost as tall as you! Ouyang Lan gently pushed, and the second dog stood unsteadily, and suddenly became shorter.

Zhu Zhi still hadn't arrived, and Zhu Ziping couldn't help but be worried. The second uncle comforted: "Ping'er, you don't have to worry too much, your father is shrewd, his martial arts are good, there will be no accidents, maybe it is normal for something to be delayed on the road." ”

"Big brother, we have been delayed in Lu'an Prefecture for nearly forty or thirty days, and here for ten days, Uncle Zhu still hasn't arrived, there must be something important. I see that you are worried these days, why don't you go to my house to relax, Xi'an is the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, and heroes like Big Brother should go and see. Yan Yue looked at Ouyang Lan again, "Lan'er is not in a hurry to go to Beijing to find her brother, can she go to Xi'an with us?" ”

The second dog shouted first: "I'm going too!" Zhu Xiang slapped the woolen hat of the two dogs and scolded: "Get out of the way and play!" He turned to Ziping again, "Ping'er, what Yan Yue said is not bad, it's not that the second uncle is stingy, you are a man, and you won't be buried in this poor country after all." I was there when your father came. ”

Ergouzi straightened his hat with both hands and looked at Ouyang Lan: "Sister Ouyang, I don't care, I'm going to go with you." Ouyang Lan smiled: "Yu'er, you are still young, it is too far to go to Xi'an, and it is inconvenient to take you with you." ”

Ergouzi's real name is Zhu Ziyu, when Ergouzi's mother was pregnant with him, she was herding sheep on the mountain with a big belly, and suddenly there was a pain in her abdomen, knowing that she was going to give birth but couldn't move, so she had to lie on the hillside, and the big flower dog "Wang" around her barked and ran to the village, leading Zhu Xiang to this hillside, so that the mother and son were safe. Zhu Xiang sighed: "This kid, thanks to Huahua, just call him Ergouzi." ”

After listening to Ouyang Lan's words, the second dog tiptoed on his feet, saw his father slapping over, hurriedly shrank his head to dodge, and muttered: "Sister Ouyang, you have to wait for me to ......"

Zhu Ziping also felt that staying here was not a way to go, it was a long way to Xi'an, Yan Yue had no martial arts, Ouyang Lan was beautiful, there would inevitably be many dangers on the road, he had nothing to do, so he accompanied them to Xi'an, nodded and said: "In this way, it will cause trouble to my brother." ”

Yan Yue was overjoyed and took Zhu Ziping's hand: "Big brother, where is this, you can go, it's too late for me to be happy." Zhu Xiang smiled on the side and said, "I see that the two of you are so close, why don't you worship as brothers?" Yan Yue looked at Zhu Ziping with a smile: "Big brother, what do you think?" Zhu Ziping was also very happy, and the two reported the date and hour of birth, Zhu Ziping was five months older than Yan Yue, and he was a brother.

The two lit a pillar of incense and swore to the heavens: "I, Zhu Ziping (Yan Yue), worship as a brother today, do not seek to be born in the same year and month, but to die at the same time in the same year and month. The two bowed eight times and bowed to Zhu Xiang.

Zhu Xiang had already poured a bowl of wine, let Zhu Ziping and Yan Yue cut their fingers, and the blood dripped into the wine, and then divided the wine into two halves, and the two of them drank it all. Ouyang Lan watched blankly, and actually shed tears.

In front of the grave, Zhu Ziping knelt down and cried: "Mother, Ping'er failed to avenge you this time, you must know the reason under Jiuquan, I just hope you can rest in peace, don't blame the child, I will come to see you often, you don't worry about the child......" On the second day, the three of them bid farewell to Zhu Xiang and went to Xi'an, but they didn't know that this trip would cause an uproar on the rivers and lakes.
