In the vast mountains, two figures walked alone. One is emaciated and rickety, the other is thin and weak.

The old blind man and Xu Sheng embarked on a journey again.

The destination is still Cangshan, but the purpose has changed.

The Hanshan monk exchanged his life for the transformation of the old blind man. Now he's not here to plunder and destroy, but to protect!

Guarding Cangshan, the treasure that is related to thousands of living beings.

"Arrived"

months of bumps, eating and sleeping in the open, wind and rain; The old blind man and Xu Sheng have no regrets.

"Is this Cangshan?"

As soon as Xu Sheng raised his head, what caught his eyes was a fairy-like scene. Thousands of strange peaks are close to the sky, and endless verdant covers the earth; The clouds and mist lingered, and Ruicai said.

Isn't this a fairy mountain?

This is the fairy mountain!

"Let's go." The old blind man said softly: "As soon as I enter the Cangshan Mountain, I am isolated from the world, I am walking the 'hidden road', what you see is very different from ordinary people, and you must not take it lightly." Cangshan is handsome on the outside, but dangerous on the inside, you must follow me. ”

"Good" Hearing this, Xu Sheng immediately put away his reverie. Since the old blind man is so serious, then Cangshan is by no means a good place.

That's right, too.

If Cangshan is really not dangerous, why is there no one in a hundred miles? Why has there been a rumor that you should not trespass into Cangshan? Why has the imperial court strictly forbidden the reclamation of the fertile soil in Cangshan?

Everything is because Cangshan has secrets and dangers that ordinary people don't know.

"Chirp"

On the branches are the chirping of birds, the rapid and slow gurgling of water beside you, the warm breeze blowing in your face, and the fragrance of soil mixed with flowers and plants hitting your nose.

It's really beautiful here!

It's a pity that since ancient times, Cangshan has been difficult to enter and even more difficult to get out; Otherwise, it may become a great place to visit.

Is there really a danger here? What are the dangers?

Xu Sheng doubted, looking at it with the naked eye, it was peaceful.

"You can't just use your eyes, you have to use your heart." The old blind man seemed to see Xu Sheng's thoughts, and said: "Nothing is as simple as it seems on the surface, you have to learn to tear apart the surface and investigate its essence." ”

"Tear apart the appearance, and get to the essence?" Xu Sheng muttered, "What should I do? ”

"Close your eyes." The old blind man said: "The eyes are a tool for cognition and karma, and sometimes when you close your eyes, you can pay more attention to your heart, so that you can complete your understanding of the world in other ways and from different angles." You have the thirteenth relics of the Hidden Sect of Buddhism in your body, as well as a strange energy that I can't fathom, and you have to learn to use them. Through them you will be able to break through the vain. ”

"I closed my eyes, and then what?"

"Put all your attention on your nose, draw all the power you can muster, and put it all together in your nose. Pay attention, don't slack off, the strength is condensed, and the containment is not released. ”

"Good" Xu Sheng did so and complied with it all. In the long-term relationship, he has formed an unconscious trust in the old blind man.

"Forget everything and take a deep breath."

"Whew—"

"Hold this breath and slowly exhale it from your nose, savoring it."

"Whew—"

"Do you feel something?"

"Nope."

"Repeat the steps you did and do it again."

"Whew—"

"Slow vomiting, light product."

"Whew—"

"Still not." Xu Sheng shook his head, and suddenly the whole person froze, and said loudly: "Wait... It seems to be a little different! ”

He felt something in his heart, and at the moment when the breath was completely exhaled, he suddenly felt something strange.

"One more time." The old blind man stood on Xu Sheng's back and whispered, "Be careful, don't be in a hurry." ”

"Whew—"

"Whew—"

Pregnant!

"I feel it." Xu Sheng exclaimed: "There is a slight chill hidden in the breath, not blindly cold, it seems... There is a kind of rejection of people from thousands of miles away; And that breath is stinky. ”

"Uh-" The old blind man was silent for a moment, and said helplessly, "It's true that the chill is good, but if it smells... It's about your tone. ”

"Ahh Xu Sheng opened his eyes suddenly, a little embarrassed.

"It's nice to feel the chill and rejection, but behind it there's blood, hatred, and ominousness. Not only your nose, but also your hands and feet, your ears, and even your skin and hair are all tools for perceiving the world. In the future, you have to practice diligently, this is a means to save your life. The old blind man spoke earnestly, and his tone was heavy, and it sounded as if he was explaining what was going on.

"You...!" Xu Sheng wanted to speak and stopped.

"You know that my life is short, don't be sentimental, the road ahead will probably be left alone for you."

"No, old man, you're in good health. Wasn't it still alive the last time we fought? It's almost the sky. Xu Sheng couldn't accept it for a while, and "chuckled" in his heart, but his mouth was joking.

"The outside is strong and the middle is strong, and it's just a strong support." The old blind man smiled and said lightly: "At my level, I can already see a day or two of opportunities, and I can see my lifespan better than anyone else." Of course, not all of my lives are determined by heaven, and I still have a way to continue my life, but to be honest, I'm tired of living for a long time. ”

"So why not give it a try? Old man, I know that your wish has not been fulfilled, and if you live one more day, won't you be one step closer to your long-cherished wish? Xu Sheng was a little anxious, he really couldn't accept the fact that the old blind man was about to pass away.

"Do you want me to become like a monster of the Xu family?" The old blind man looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahaha! Life and death are like clouds to me. ”

That's fine.

Xu Sheng was speechless, only silent. If the price of surviving is to become a gloomy monster, then he will not do it either, let alone the old blind man.

To be alive in some way is better than to be dead.

"By the way, you haven't seen the big demon yet, have you?" The old blind man looked kind and said softly: "There is a big demon beside us, do you want to see it?" ”

"Where?" Xu Sheng looked around in a panic, but found nothing, he could only cling to the old blind man tightly and said, "

Good. ”

"Come out, since you and I already know each other, why hide and hide." The old blind man chuckled, "Aren't you afraid that I will pull you out?" ”

"Dead old man, Cangshan doesn't want to be contaminated with red dust, if you are a mortal, it's fine, but since you are a monk, you are destined to die and have no life." In the distance, the grass swayed, and a flash of bright green appeared.

A long cyan snake, spitting out a letter, came out with its head held high. What is surprising is that its eyes are very bright, not the usual triangular shape of snakes, but like human eyes, flashing and deliberate.

"Is this the Great Demon?" Xu Sheng muttered, "There is indeed something supernatural, but... It seems to be a bit of a misnomer. ”

Yes, Xu Sheng is no stranger to the word "big demon", there are many mentions in the "Classics and History", and the "big demons" written in it are all huge, earth-shattering, flat mountains and mountains, and the masters of turning rivers and seas.

Although the green snake in front of him has spirituality and can speak people, it lacks terrifying domineering. In other words, Xu Sheng felt that the green snake was too delicate and couldn't see how powerful it was.

"Don't underestimate it," the old blind man smiled, "This green snake is beautiful now, and once it is furious, it can grow dozens of feet in an instant." In ancient times, it was mediocre, but in ancient times, it can be regarded as reaching the threshold of 'big demon'. “

The old blind man explained to Xu Sheng while confronting the green snake, his expression was relaxed, and he couldn't see the slightest nervousness.

"Old thing, when I attained the Tao, your grandfather was afraid that he was not born yet, how dare he judge me?" The green snake's eyes showed a fierce light, and his words were full of fire, "I think you are too confident, there are hundreds of 'big demons' in Cangshan, although I can't defeat you, but can you withstand the siege of the demons?" ”

"Siege?" The old blind man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "Hahahaha! When did the monster also learn like a human? You can call your friends and let me see how shameless it is to see the demons of Cangshan? Since I dare to come here, I naturally have something to rely on, such as Ruoer and others acting recklessly, don't blame me for killing them all, so that this Cangshan land 'birds and beasts are wiped out'. ”

Murderous!

Murderous!

At this moment, the old blind man's momentum changed greatly, and his expression was awe-inspiring, which made the heavens and the earth cold by three points!

"Are you crazy? I'm just saying a few random words, you actually burn your life, it seems that you really want to fight to the death! The green snake demon's tone was cold, and his eyes were fierce.

"By you?" The old blind man smiled indifferently and flicked his long sleeves; Suddenly, the clouds moved in all directions, and shouted: "Dare?!" ”

"Boom!"

The huge snake body was completely overturned, and it rushed straight forward, breaking several ancient trees!

"It's over"

A sharp sound fell from the sky, and a yellow-shirted driving villain fell from among the heavy branches and leaves, hanging in the air.

"Wow!"

Xu Sheng was stunned, and the whole person was stunned. The man was too small, his fists were the size of his fists, and even the car with which he sat was like a toy. Xu Sheng looked carefully, the villain turned out to be an old man, with a dragon bell and gray hair, but his ears were round and big, full of agility, and he seemed to be a little childish.

"Goblins, great tonics." The old blind man said to Xu Sheng with a smile.

"You...!" The yellow-shirted villain was extremely angry, stretched out his fingers and scolded angrily: "Junior, Hugh said that it was you, how many capable people have been different for thousands of years, even that Yuan Tianshi did not dare to spread wild in Cangshan, how could you dare to be so arrogant!" ”

"Hahahaha!" The old blind man couldn't stop laughing, and raised his voice: "Before that Yuan Tianshi died, he was a hundred times more arrogant than me at this moment. ”

"Junior, since you are dying, why should you be strong?" The yellow-shirted villain: "Cangshan has never been cowardly, if you are arrogant and unreasonable, we will definitely suppress it." The worst thing is to die, what a battle! ”

You're going to fight, right? If you are all convinced, I think it will be better to talk about the conditions. The old blind man pulled out the strings, and his momentum grew.

"Conditions?" The yellow-shirted villain chuckled, "You look like this, where is the posture of talking about conditions?" ”

"I don't need you to teach me what to look like, and you are not qualified enough to let that person come to see me." The old blind man spoke proudly, but his rickety body was slightly upright at this moment.

"That one! I don't know what you're talking about. The villain waved his hand, "There's nothing to talk about, just do it yourself, and leave." ”

"Don't pretend to be confused, since I'm here, I must know. The one in my mouth is the spirit of Cangshan, the Ying of plants and trees, the rumored 'first spiritual root in the world', and the 'source of all things' that you have worshiped for generations. The old blind man smiled, "Who of you but that one is worth my journey?" ”

"The source master never shows people."

"That's because I didn't come."

"Let's go, I'll wait for the Cangshan people, I'd rather die than let you see the source master."

"Really?" The old blind man's hand brushed the strings gently, and when they landed, the strings vibrated and whimpered.

"Is it really better to die than stop me?" The old blind man asked in a low voice, without raising his head, and all his mind was concentrated on a thin string.

The "natural" yellow-shirted villain is neither humble nor arrogant, and takes a step forward in the air.

"Don't"

Seeing that the old blind man was about to make a move, Xu Sheng panicked, hurriedly grabbed the corner of his clothes, and said earnestly: "They are not at fault, they are also obeying the orders of the source master, and it is a last resort to stop you." ”

"I don't want to kill again." The old blind man whispered, and the strings gradually stopped trilling. Then he raised his eyebrows lightly and said in a deep voice: "The original owner is so timid and afraid, outsiders call you charitable and wise, do you really want to ignore the creatures of Cangshan, do you really want to see the scene of thousands of miles of blood flowing and all souls returning to silence?" ”

"Alas!"

With a long sigh, full of exhaustion from the vicissitudes of life, a weak voice said weakly: "I am already half dead, why should you be embarrassed? Don't be too angry, if there is anything, let's talk about it. ”
