Speaking of swords, before entering the Buddha, the old monk was also a figure who used a sword, and he came from distant Chang'an.

The blind old monk Buddha is called Fan, formerly known as Chen Crazy, born in a poor family, but he is talented.

That year's Chang'an Flower Dynasty Festival, after seeing the Chang'an Oiran fish on the painting boat, I could never forget it.

At that time, he poured all his family wealth into it, just to see Yu Jiu and think about it.

Yu Jiusi was closed, and he was neutral in the heavy rain for three days, especially not to impress Jiusi.

After that day, he heard that Yu Jiusi married a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou.

After hearing the great sorrow, he became obsessed with a sword and became the most outstanding sword cultivator in Chang'an.

Ten years later, he asked the world's monks for swords in Chang'an, and used the Five Realms to cultivate the six realms across the border, moving the world and becoming the sword leader of Chang'an.

After he became a sword leader, Yu Jiusi, who was already a mother, personally visited Chang'an from Yangzhou, saying that he had admired the madness for a long time and wanted to grow up around Chen's madness.

On that day, he smiled miserably, leaving only one sentence: "What you love is not me, but the Chang'an Sword Leader, the first in the world." ”

Then he sealed the sword, left the capital, and became the old monk of Sutuo Temple outside Jishui Town.

Now, when he saw Chen Qingshan, he couldn't help but think of some of the past.

The big Buddha of Sutuo Temple is three zhang high, but it is only a clay sculpture, the incense in front of the Buddha is curling, the blind old monk took some incense ash for the two to take, it is considered to have solved the poison on their bodies, as for the external injuries on the body, they have to recuperate.

"Master, why don't you make a golden body for the Buddha, just like the dragon lord next to him?" Chen Qingshan looked at the mud Buddha, lowered his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes, and always felt that it was not grand enough.

The blind old monk smiled: "The clay sculpture is good, if it is broken, I will go to the courtyard to get some mud, mix it with water, and then you can repair it." The Buddha is in the soil, and the one in the soil is the Buddha. ”

Chen Qingshan didn't understand what he heard. He also asked why the temple of the Dragon Lord couldn't stop the ancient corpse, didn't it have the golden light of telekinesis?

The old monk explained the reason to Chen Qingshan: the corpse left the soul early, not within the Three Realms and Five Elements, he couldn't see the golden light, and if he couldn't see it, it would naturally be useless to him.

After that, Chen Qingshan and Wu Guanshan rested in the temple.

On the second day, Chen Qingshan and Wu Guanshan boarded the tenement building outside the town early, and the little monk Sanzang also followed, and he wanted to go to Jishui Town to buy some incense and candles.

Chen Qingshan likes to climb tall buildings, because on tall buildings, everything in the world is smaller, and he has a lot less troubles.

This piece of world is very large, the Tang Dynasty is in the middle, and there is the Demon Court and Tubo in the south. There are barbarians in the northwest, and outside the Great Wall in the north is a very cold place, and as for the east, there is an endless sea, where there are mermaids, weaving silk beautifully.

As for the farther places, Chen Qingshan didn't know much.

It's just that before the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there was a monk who went out of Yangguan and sat in the desert of Loulan for more than 30 years, and then crossed Kunlun, killed the demon court alone, and left 3,000 secret treasures on the southernmost Lenga Mountain, and then became a Buddha. Therefore, the southernmost part of the world should be Lenga Mountain.

Downstairs, the white river flowed northward, reminding Chen Qingshan of the old saying "the deceased is like a husband". There is a stone arch bridge over the White River, and at the bottom of the stone bridge hangs a rusty iron sword, which is said to be used to prevent Jiaojiao.

A chariot can be seen on the stone bridge, with soldiers in front of and behind the car.

And the person in the front, the BMW with a jade saddle, is a bronze pole in his hand, majestic, and he is a horseman from the second realm.

The paths of cultivation in this world are different, but they can be roughly divided into nine realms, from the lowest to the highest.

The appearance of this groom means that a noble man has arrived in the town of Catchment.

Chen Qingshan and the three of them all cast curious glances, and there was a brand on the car, which was a cyan ear of wheat, which was unique to Evergreen Academy.

There are countless academies in the world, but there are only three that can transmit the context: Shengyan, Bailu, and Changqing.

Shengyan Academy was created by saints, and it is orthodox in the world, and Changqing and Bailu are all produced by Shengyan, and then they have their own lineage. Shengyan Academy is in Shendu, Bailu is on the side of Longhu Mountain in Yuzhang Prefecture, and Changqing is adjacent to the Bohai Sea.

The nobles who came from far away from the Bohai Sea don't know what to do in this small water town?

There were three people in the car, a clear young man, and two middle-aged Confucian scholars, the three of them sat opposite each other, and through the car, they saw Chen Qingshan and others on the Tang Tower.

"The little official, the sharpener, and the little novice, it's fun for these three to get together." Guo Yun, a middle-aged Confucian scholar in the car, opened his mouth and smiled, and there was an ink shadow on his side, which was mountains, rivers, birds, fish and insects.

Guo Yun, once watched paintings in Chang'an, had to paint a little bit of the essence of the saint Wu Daozi, and entered the Tao with painting, entered the sixth realm of Confucianism and Taoism, and was a famous man in the world.

On the opposite side is also a great Confucian, whose realm is equivalent to Guo Yun, named Wang Xu, who is good at regular script and Confucianism and Taoism with books.

Wang Xu took a sip of tea and responded: "The gentleman is harmonious but different, these three people seem to be the same age as His Royal Highness." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the young man who was wearing a bright yellow robe, and there was a faint nobility between his eyebrows.

The so-called nobleman is talking about him, when he was the son of the Pilgrim Emperor, His Royal Highness the Thirteenth, worshiped in the Bohai Evergreen Academy, studied under Wang and Zhang, the two great Confucians, and was also a Confucian student who was in the beginning of the realm and asked about the learning realm.

The thirteen princes glanced at the three people on the Tang Tower, and it was indeed as Wang Shi said, they were the same age as themselves, but they were only the same age.

The Thirteen Princes only glanced at the three of them and didn't care, just like the goshawks in the sky wouldn't deliberately pay attention to the shrimp and crabs in the muddy water.

The thirteen princes held the disciple salute: "Master Guo, Master Wang, the front is Jishui Town, let's wait here first, see the time, the holy monk of Nanzhao should also be about to arrive, whether he can successfully enter Beijing, there are still two laborers." ”

"It should." Hearing this, Wang Xu and Guo Yun replied at the same time, their faces turned solemn, obviously they attached great importance to what the Thirteen Princes said.

The so-called Nanzhao Chongsheng monk is actually the king of Nanzhao.

As a subject country of the Tang Dynasty, Nanzhao has always had the tradition of respecting Buddhism, a few days ago, the contemporary Nanzhao King became a monk, the name of the law is to worship the saint, in order to show piety, he wants to go north to enter the Chang'an face saint, and then study Buddhism in the Temple of Great Compassion for three years.

Outside the first pass of Nanzhaolong, there is Tubo, and to the east of Tubo, is the demon court that is known as having ten thousand demons inhabiting. If you take the Southern Zhao, Tubo and the Demon Court can go straight to the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

The South Pass of Tang Town and the Longshou Pass of Nanzhao are geographically the horns, the Longshou Pass resists Tubo, and the Zhennan Pass fights with the Demon Court, and the two help each other, so that the Tubo and the Demon Court are deflated again and again in the border war, and they are not allowed to advance an inch.

Therefore, when Chongsheng set off for Chang'an, the Tubo and Demon Court in the south also moved, and they wanted to intercept and kill Chongsheng monks on the road and shake the foundation of Nanzhao.

And the Thirteen Princes and the two great Confucians of the Evergreen Academy came for the smooth entry of this holy monk into Beijing.

Chen Qingshan, who didn't know that the water collection would be chaotic, got down from the tenement building, and while discussing the identity of the people who came, they followed behind the carriage and returned to the water collection town.

As soon as I entered the square street, I saw a beautiful woman calling Chen Qingshan and asking him to help deliver wine, no one knew her real name, only called her Mrs. Peach Blossom, the reason for this should be the relationship between the peach blossoms that bloom and are undefeated behind the wine nunnery.

Because of the peach blossoms, this nameless wine house was called the peach blossom wine house by the people in the town, and this nameless woman naturally called Mrs. Peach Blossom.

In the heavy snow that year, Mrs. Peach Blossom once gave Chen Qingshan a pot of wine in Baishi Lane, so Chen Qingshan always felt that Mrs. Peach Blossom was a good person.

"Boy Chen, the money is on the table, take it yourself." Mrs. Peach Blossom smiled, standing outside the wine hermitage, dressed in plain clothes embroidered with cloud patterns, with a golden step on her head, and a fan in her hand, pointing to the store, charming but not demonic.

Chen Qingshan should be, said goodbye to Sanzang and Wu Guanshan, entered the wine nunnery to collect money, and after confirming the address, he leisurely pulled up the wooden cart that had been prepared long ago and was full of wine.

The wooden reel was pressed against the bluestone slab, making a slight "crunch" sound, the wine was not heavy, and Chen Qingshan did not have much trouble pulling it up.

Chen Qingshan pulled the car, walked past the bustling crowd, and turned the corner.

There is an attic at the corner of the street, and above the attic, the three princes of the thirteen princes look at the peach blossom wine hermitage.

The great Confucian Guo Yun opened his mouth and said: "This seems to be the demon in the imperial tomb back then. ”

"The demon who stole the jade cup? In that case, I can only ask the elder of the Heavenly Council to take action, but I didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains from this trip. The Thirteen Princes stood in the attic, the corners of their mouths slowly hooked.

In the spring of the fourteenth year of Guangqi, there was a demon in the Tang Emperor's Mausoleum who enlightened his wisdom and stole the jade Huang lamp out of Beijing, and this demon, by chance, appeared in Jishui Town.
