At noon, the warm spring sun fell through the leaves in the forest, and the monks of Wuwu Temple sat in the shadows, reflecting the residual sunlight as if crossing a layer of golden powder, like Buddha sculptures.

In the center of the many monks, and where the sun remains the most, there is a young monk sitting in meditation. The dim light fell on the monk, and the kapok robe and the hat on his head were so clearly visible, naturally revealing a sense of righteousness.

This is the first time that Changkong and Mingshan have met in the real sense, from the beginning when Mingshan led the monks of Wuwu Temple into the territory of Dayu, Changkong received instructions from Lord Zhuge to follow all the way. During this period, he never showed up, but he knew that Ming Shan had always known that he was there from the time he began to approach these monks.

From Daxizhou to Dayu to go through thousands of mountains and rivers, from Dayu Xijiang to Yong'an City is also hundreds of miles away, not to mention that there is a huge lake called Daze in the middle, stretching for hundreds of miles of Qinling Mountains.

He thought about it for a long time, and until now he couldn't figure out why, what Wuwu Temple did this time? Maybe in the treasure house of Dayu, there are really other things that these monks who have seen through the red dust and have their hearts rising to the dust?

The arrival of the sky did not make the group of monks show any nervousness, and the Buddha voice in the forest did not have the slightest frequency or highness, Mingshan was chanting the Buddhist scriptures in a low voice, and he had already put his mind outside the mirror.

He walked slowly to Mingshan's side, then saluted forward, and said, "Welcome Master Mingshan to Dayu to preach Buddha." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Mingshan to answer, he sat down directly opposite Mingshan and casually.

He didn't say that he was in Yong'an City, but mentioned Dayu, he didn't say what he meant, he just said that he was proclaiming Buddha.

Mingshan raised his head and said with a smile: "What is the matter with Lord Wu Bin?" ”

Changkong said apologetically: "The master came, and I didn't entertain the officials well, so I came here to apologize." ”

Mingshan said: "If it's just for these, why is Lord Wu Bin here?" ”

Changkong smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "What the master said is wrong, I am here to express my apologies, and I want to seek the master's explanation." ”

Mingshan looked at him with a puzzled expression and asked, "What's the confusion?" ”

Changkong said: "There are many people coming to Yong'an City. ”

Mingshan said: "Dayu Kyoto should be like this, isn't it? ”

Changkong said: "Ordinary people are curious, I can understand, but I don't understand why you came? ”

He is talking about you, these two words have many meanings, it is all the monks of the Wuwu Temple who sit in the forest, and it is also the real person who includes the Yong'an City at this time.

Ming Shan's gaze skimmed over the sky, looked at the Xiongcheng behind him, and said, "Little junior brother is working the Qianlong Trial, we don't want him to have an accident there." ”

Changkong narrowed his eyes and said, "If that's the case, why is there such an exaggerated team." ”

Naturally, he was referring to this group of monks in the forest, these monks who had traveled thousands of miles from Wuwu Temple to the outside of Yong'an City, and Changkong could feel that there were several above the realm of pure contemplation.

Mingshan bowed his head and pronounced a Buddha number, and said with a serious expression: "From Wuwu Temple to Dayu Xuan Buddha, there are thousands of mountains and rivers all the way, and it is impossible for ordinary monks to follow, and these are the seniors in the temple who are willing to follow." ”

Changkong looked at the surrounding monks, as Mingshan said, most of these people were old men.

The old man represents the elderly, and the time of life is longer, for the practitioner, the longevity will continue to climb with the improvement of the realm, these monks who look wrinkled and mottled and have a wonderful face are old, and they don't know how many years they have lived in this world, and they have practiced penance for a few springs and autumns.

However, longevity also represents history, and it also means knowing more secrets of this world, and knowing more about the world, or doubting it.

Mingshan said that the predecessors in the temple were willing to accompany him, and he also showed that these old monks might really have a purpose.

Changkong didn't speak, he looked at Mingshan, his expression became colder, and his eyes became even colder.

Mingshan sighed and said softly: "The legend should not be believed, but the fairy sword fell in the South China Sea, and the fairy sword rioted in Yong'an City again. The master once said: The fairy sword can kill the evil demons. ”

"You are also a beneficiary of that spiritual rain decades ago, how can you not understand this truth?"

Changkong said indifferently: "You Buddhist disciples have always only said that Buddhism is boundless, so why are you interested in these rumors. Even if you say it's true, Yong'an has my Emperor Dayu and the Shuangsheng in charge, will it be chaotic? ”

Mingshan frowned slightly, and said softly: "No matter how big Da Yu is, how does it compare to the whole world?" What's more, the fairy sword came from the sky and fell in the South China Sea, and His Majesty Emperor Yu took the fairy sword and it was already a mess. Now the fairy sword riot is a major event that shocks the whole world, Da Yu wants to cover the sky with one hand, do you want to abandon the common people? ”

Changkong naturally wouldn't listen to his excuses, he stood up, blocking a few rays of sunlight, and Mingshan's figure was shrouded in shadows.

His expression became cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Yulu is inside the city, you are outside the city, I don't know what your real purpose is, but I can tell you my attitude." ”

Mingshan didn't look up, he bowed his head and began to chant the scriptures.

Changkong Zhengse said: "Those who disturb Yong'an City, kill!" ”

…………

In the twenty-third year of Dayu Wude, the Qianlong test was held as scheduled, and people and tourists from all over the world poured into Yong'an City, and Yong'an City also ushered in the most lively scene since the founding of Dayu.

This year's Qianlong Test has become the largest number of participants and the largest number of sects in history, and it is also the most difficult in history.

The four religions of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, and Bing finally met again in Yong'an City after a hundred years.

...........

It is already the afternoon of the second day of the Qianlong test, and in the battle for more than a day, there have been many unexpected things, which are naturally not accidents, but too many uncertainties brought to people by the candidates who participated in the competition.

And Bai Jiu is definitely the leader of these uncertainties, his performance is too amazing, from the initial suspicion, until now he is valued by the big shots, he has only spent three games.

That's right, it's only three games, and the shocking thing is that this Bai Jiu won again.

In the first two rounds of the competition, no matter whether he was facing the young man of the Inverted Mountain Sect or the senior sister of the Yellow Valley, although the other party used the strongest means, they did not let Bai Jiu really make a move.

This makes people have an uncertainty in their hearts, that is, how strong is Bai Jiu? And in the third round, his opponent was the scholar of the Mountain Cliff Academy, Ji Yunqiao of the twenty-second on the Tanhua List.

Just when everyone thought that Bai Jiu could use all his strength, he once again brought uncertainty to an unprecedented level, and he defeated his opponent without surprise.

People don't understand why he is so strong, so strong that he defeats Ji Yunqiao, and he only makes one last sword.

Because Qingfeng Yuan took the first place in the academy test, and Hewen tried to beat the three princes and won the first place, so that Bai Jiu's name was praised in Yong'an City for the first time. Then he listened to the night banquet, took out his sword and abolished Cao Zhen's right hand, and debated with Tianyu about the victory of benevolence and righteousness, Bai Jiu has become a new synonym in the liberal arts academy.

But everyone knows one thing, that is, this newborn genius of Qingfeng Academy will not practice before entering the hospital, even if Cao Zhen's right hand is abolished at the night banquet, a large part of the reason is because of the latter's carelessness.

This also shows a tacit fact, no matter how profound Bai Jiu's knowledge is and how dazzling his cultivation talent is, the problem of time is destined that his realm will not be too high, and the low level of his cultivation realm is also destined to be as brilliant as he was in the Hidden Dragon Test.

So people were shocked, and these big shots even wondered if he had taken banned drugs to improve his strength. Because if not, then what is the reason why this young man, who has only been practicing for half a year, has been able to win three consecutive matches in the competition, and he is only one step away from the top four.

Perhaps because of Bai Jiu's blockbuster start, the Qianlong test ushered in the first climax of the competition, and good shows were staged one after another at this time.

From the other three directions of the mountain, different degrees of sword light came from. After Bai Jiu collected his sword, the sky of Beicheng was suddenly lit up by a dazzling sword light, and the sword light swept across the white clouds in all directions, revealing dazzling stars in the sky.

The battle between Lu Yu, the pride of the Heavenly Chosen Academy, and Liang Mingze, the son of the Dao Sect, completely attracted people's attention.

The clouds are gone, and the sky is open.

The battle between Lu Yuchen and Liang Mingze reached the most intense stage from the beginning, and the lush branches in the cyan jungle could not stop the spread of sound at all, and the candidates saw that there was a hole in the clouds, and before they were mentally ready, they heard one roar after another. Some of the candidates who had just finished the battle had not had time to recover from the battle just now, and their faces turned pale from the shocking voice, and their qi was severely damaged.

Those roars were not the sound of fists colliding, let alone the sound of Taoism and law, but with an unusually sharp meaning, the sound of a sword cutting through the air.

Among the various sects in Dongzhou, except for the young swordsmen of the Sword Sect, they did not come to participate, and the three Daoists of the Daomen became the most concerned existences. People learned that except for the disciple of the head of the Dao Sect, Tianyu was the strongest of all the Daoists. As the Taoist of Mingze Mountain, Liang Mingze's background is the most mediocre, and he is also the one with the most bizarre personality.

On the last night of the night banquet, Lu Yu said that the person he didn't want to meet was Liang Mingze, and that night he even fought against this person, although both sides tried their best, but it was obvious that Lu Yuchen was at a disadvantage.

At this time, listening to the terrible sword sound that sounded in the bushes, and being able to make such a bright sword roar, how fierce was the battle between the two, and how strong this true qi and understanding of the way of the sword had reached?
