It's dusk.

The sunset came out for a while, and was soon swallowed up by the clouds.

I don't know if it's because the Xizhou Desert is too cold, the color of the morning glow is a little light, and it looks very unenergetic.

Bean Sprouts walked to the sand dunes and looked back to the west.

The towering Spirit Mountain was in front of her, Shen Yu and Yang Liu were inside, but she couldn't move on.

With her realm strength, even if she goes, it won't be of much use, and the bean sprouts won't even be able to pass through that cold fog before they die.

At such a time, her spiritual power was almost exhausted, no one else from the Dao Sect appeared, and even from beginning to end, no big man stood up to accuse that temple of what it had done.

Last night, Bean Sprouts had already expected what would happen today, but she didn't care much, so things got tricky.

Because she was traveling west from Yaochi, someone pointed her out a way and told her that someone was waiting for her there.

The road was remote, and then she saw the temple.

There is only one building in the entire desert, and it is easy to see.

Bean Sprouts endured the severe pain and walked forward slowly.

She walked to the front of the temple and thought she would be able to see the person, but she didn't expect to see an old man first, which was a little surprised.

The old man sat on the threshold, not knowing what he was thinking.

On both sides of the temple gate hangs a couplet.

"Save the suffering, save the world, ask the Buddha for the Tao, and ask for yourself."

This couplet may have some deep meaning, Bean Sprouts didn't think about it, and walked towards the temple.

As he passed by, the old man asked, "Is the injury healed?" ”

Bean Sprouts hummed, walked over to the golden Buddha, and squinted her eyes.

Although the evening light was dim and reflected by the gold paint, it was still a little dazzling.

The golden Buddha was very rich, with a belly and a slight smile on his face.

Her gaze fell on the knife in front of the Buddha.

The iron knife was as long as a beam, and I don't know how heavy it was.

Thinking about the rumors of this sword, Bean Sprout's eyes gradually brightened and gave birth to some hope.

But where is the owner of this sword?

She turned around and walked to the temple gate and asked, "Do you know where this is?" ”

The old man said, "It's not like giving birth." ”

Bean Sprouts was stunned and asked, "Who?" ”

The old man said, "That Buddha." ”

Bean Sprouts was silent for a while, then pointed to the fog in the distance and asked, "What are those?" ”

"The fog came from the sea of blood." The old man looked at the western mist and said: "This is the most important moment in his life, so he does not hesitate to consume his blood, and wants to let the people of the sea of blood have a better life. ”

Bean Sprouts said: "It is very painful for a woman to give birth to a child, she will become very weak, why does she do this, is it also from that sea of blood?" ”

"I've read it in a book, too, because I've seen it out of curiosity, and it's really painful, and it's really weak," said the old man, "and I even thought that it might be the weakest moment of his long life." ”

Bean Sprouts said: "The monk of Lingshan is going to kill him? Why didn't you kill it before? ”

"First of all, she hasn't been born yet, and she hasn't reached the weakest time, and no one knows how many years she will have to wait."

The old man said, "Even if she really gave birth, do you think those guys in Lingshan would dare to go in and kill her?" ”

Bean Sprouts didn't understand, thinking to herself Isn't this the best opportunity for Buddhism?

"If you gather all the strong people in Lingshan, even if you don't want those old Zen guys, of course you may kill her, even if she doesn't have children."

The old man looked up at her and said calmly: "The problem is that maybe ninety percent of the participants will die, so who is willing to give up the road of immortality to fight hard?" ”

"But someone has to do it," Bean Sprouts said. ”

Hearing this, the old man smiled, looking a little relieved.

Many, many years ago, someone was like Bean Sprouts now, and really contacted the strongest people of the various sects of Buddhism and told them their plans.

The man even went to Lingyin Temple and the ancestral land of Zen Buddhism.

However, no one responded except the idiot.

The host of the Lingyin Temple's generation gave the most absolute answer.

After that day, the man never saw him again.

"For all these years, only that idiot has been here for so many years, have you ever seen them here?"

The old man sat on the threshold, pointed to the cultivators behind the clouds who had not appeared, and said with contempt on his face.

Bean Sprouts looked at her and asked, "Who are you?" ”

With such an attitude towards such a big man as the Lingyin Temple and the Zen sect master, it is naturally impossible to describe the master of the Vinaya sect as an idiot, and it is naturally impossible to be a lonely and nameless old man.

The old man did not answer.

A sigh rang out in the temple.

The old man ignored it.

Bean Sprouts turned to look, but still didn't see anyone, and couldn't tell where the voice was coming from.

"I understand what you're here for, but I can't help you."

The voice was thick and bright, echoing in the temple, as if it had originated from all places, and as if something was missing, which made the listener feel stunned.

No one was seen, but the sprouts knew who the other person was.

She saluted seriously to the temple and said, "Daoist bean sprouts, I have seen the sect master. ”

……

……

The owner of the voice in the temple is the master of the Vinaya, the real person behind the Lingyin Temple.

He is the sect master of the current generation of the Vinaya Sect, and he never participates in anything in the Lingyin Temple, but only silently cultivates in Xizhou.

As an ordinary disciple of Lingyin Temple, he won the third place in the immortal and demon war that time, but he refused to return to Lingyin Temple to inherit the mantle of the abbot and take charge of the holy land.

In the following years, he continued to travel in the world, defeating many Tianjiao in the entire world, making Lingyin Temple a holy place second only to Taoism.

He himself became one of the strongest in the cultivation world.

What's even more awe-inspiring is that he chose to hide in the West Continent at the height of his life, and then never left this barren place.

For countless years, his name has gradually been forgotten by the world, and even Zenzi Huike is not as famous as Zen Zi Huike.

But who knows that he has been guarding the sea of blood for hundreds of years, guarding the Lingyin Temple, Xizhou, and even the whole world for a full three hundred years.

Over the years, he has fought with the existence of the Sea of Blood many times, and how many times he has been seriously injured and nearly died, and he has never given up.

Lingyin Temple.

The previous generation of Zen sons, the master of the Vinaya, the sword Buddha.

……

……

Dou Sprouts has traveled to the Linghuang over the years, has been to many places, and has seen a lot, and he has indeed heard about the Sword Buddha in the academy.

The academy has the most gifted cultivators in the world, and they never obey anyone.

But in the spiritual wilderness, hundreds of years ago, no one dared to disobey the title of Sword Buddha.

Naturally, bean sprouts will have the same idea

Except for Shen Yu, few people can convince the bean sprouts.

To put it disrespectfully, even characters like Feilaifeng Su Mo and Yang Liu, she didn't think anything of it.

Isn't it just a few more years of practice?

- If I have been practicing for so many years, I don't know who is stronger.

This sword Buddha, she still subconsciously made a lot of comparisons between him and Shen Yu, and then sometimes fantasized about it and substituted herself into it.

She couldn't do anything like that.

So she was very serious when she saluted, and her posture was very low.

The Sword Buddha said: "It turned out to be a disciple of the Yuan Temple, yes, yes, the little girl came from there, and she has a great future." ”

Dou Sprout stood up straight and said shyly: "The predecessor of the Sword Buddha has a lot of reputation. ”

After finishing speaking, he remembered the purpose of coming west this time, and couldn't help asking: "Senior, Lingyin Temple arrested Uncle Yangliu, why?" ”

If anyone dares to have anything to do with Lingyin Temple at such a time, it must be this Sword Buddha.

Because many years ago, he was the Zen of the previous generation.

"The wheel of history has been started, no one has such a great power to stop, Buddhism has guarded the sea of blood for countless years, too many geniuses have died, this is simply a killing battlefield, and the Taoist sect and the academy have turned a blind eye, and even think that this was caused by Buddhism, but what they don't know is that Xizhou is a continent of spiritual desolation, and it has long been so barren that even cultivators can only survive, not to mention those mortals, if they want to practice, they must open the sea of blood, that woman is a fairy, she can hook up mountains and rivers, and seal the thousands of rivers of the sea of blood, only she can unlock it."

After hearing this, Bean Sprouts was silent for a long time.

This is a matter between the three religions, just like the Buddha in front of him who seems to be a woman giving birth to a child, who can know that the Lord of the Blood Sea is actually a Buddha of Buddhism.

"Hasn't anyone beaten him?"

"Maybe, but I don't know who it is, because for three thousand years, no one has ever opened this passage, and only occasionally some low-level Blood Sea Ghost will come to the human world when the seal is loosened."

"Those low-level ghosts, it's so difficult for the Buddha Sect to deal with?"

Bean sprouts have experienced a lot of things over the years, people will always grow, and the ignorance at the beginning has now become able to think about some problems.

The ghosts of the sea of blood are too strong, so strong that even the Buddha Sect can hardly deal with them, and some of the low-level ghosts above this.

"You let them out like this because you want all the cultivators in the world to get involved."

……

……

Bean sprouts have nothing to say.

The voice of the Sword Buddha did not sound again.

She walked back to the temple gate, sat on the threshold, looked at the ethereal spiritual mountain, and said softly, "There is no other better way?" ”

Bean Sprouts still wanted to hear another answer.

"The fog is so cold that no one will live, so there is no need to wait, but everyone has to put on a posture of worrying and wanting to do something."

The old man said: "Look at it, in a few days, all the people will come here, Xizhou will be very lively, and your Uncle Shen Yu may also appear." ”

Bean Sprouts said: "Uncle Shi is not dead? ”

The old man said, "He's either dead, or he's dying, in any case, he's dead." ”

Bean Sprouts said, "No, you are all dead, and he will not die either." ”

After saying this, the temple became very quiet.

The girl sat on the threshold.

The pot-bellied Buddha statue looked at her.

……

……

Cold fog locks the desert.

There were many cultivators wearing the emblems of various sects and sects.

Bean Sprouts was left alone in the ruined temple.

The closer you get to Lingshan, the colder it becomes.

The old man is gone, and the Sword Buddha has also left.

The sprouts were still sitting on the threshold.

After winter, it is spring, and it is still cold.

She didn't ask the identity of the old man, but Bean Sprouts knew that this was probably the person the Sword Buddha said could fight the Lord of the Blood Sea.

If the sky falls, there will always be a tall man who will stand on top of it.

She stood up, spat out the blood in her mouth, and stepped away.

The wind rises, and the girl is alone.
