Chapter 57: Humanity (1)

"Daoist Xia, although your Shangqing Dementor Bell is a different machine and has exquisite techniques, but I still feel a little deficient in the turning of these two moirΓ©s, it seems that the true qi of the divine thoughts and drawings cannot keep up, this is the most basic point of the Dao, but you have not done a good job. ”

"Hmm. Zhang Daochang is worthy of being born in a famous family, and his vision and insight are indeed unique, and he can see the weaknesses of the poor road at a glance. ”

"Well, Daoist Xia Dao, I also think there is something wrong with the purpose of the Earth Spirit Master that you discussed with my Uncle Yuhong some time ago. The Earth Spirit Master was taught by my Heavenly Master to teach the patriarch, and it can be said that he has stood at the peak of this world with his Dao Method, where is there any need to play with these tricks"

"Hmm. Zhang Daochang's insights are clever, and what he said is indeed reasonable. ”

"Chief Xia Dao, don't you have anything to say?"

"Nope. ”

β€œβ€

"This bright moon girl, I don't know if your Pure Land Zen Temple is"

"Daochang Zhang, I don't have anything to say to you. And if you have anything you want to say to me, just say it, okay? I know that you actually want to say to me when you talk to Daoist Xia, so why don't you just talk to me?"

"E, no, no, Miss Mingyue, you misunderstood me just, I'm just doom"

Zhang Hengliang's face was flushed, ashamed, and he left with a strange expression of unwillingness and helplessness. It didn't take long for Zhang Yuhong and Shifang to find Xiao Xia and Mingyue again. As soon as he saw the two of them, Zhang Yuhong sighed heavily. With a helpless face, he waved his hand at Xiao Xia and Mingyue and said: "The poor Dao master and nephew are young and frivolous, and they act arbitrarily, and they invite a lot of them." Be inclusive. ”

"It's okay, it's just an ordinary teenager's temperament, Zhang Zhenren is polite. Xiao Xia smiled and returned the salute. What the hell is going on with that Zhang Hengliang, he naturally knows it in his eyes for a long time, and of course he doesn't mind much.

Mingyue felt a little inexplicable and asked, "Zhang Zhenren, why do you want to be sorry for us? Is it because of your nephew Xiao Daochang?" He is a little annoying, he wants to talk to me but he doesn't dare to say it. And he seems to be a little dissatisfied with Xia Daoshi. Well, it looks a little similar to the previous Nangong. However, Nangong Tong became less annoying later. ”

Zhang Yuhong smiled bitterly: "Miss Mingyue has a unique appearance, she is a stunning beauty who captivates the country and the city, and these young people are young and vigorous when Mu Shaoai is in full swing." It is inevitable that you will not be able to control your fascination. ”

Mingyue didn't have the smugness of the woman when she heard others praise her beauty, but snorted lightly, and said impatiently: "It's really boring, what does it have to do with me when they are confused?"

Xiao Xia also smiled bitterly and shook her head. Mingyue herself does not have the concept of beauty and ugliness in her heart. After all, her spirit may not be human. There is still a gap between the foundation of mental thinking and human beings, whether it is Nangong Tong in the past or Zhang Hengliang now, no matter what means are used to please or attract attention, it can be regarded as flattering to the blind.

Those who don't know the beauty of the child have no eyes. Mingyue is indeed beautiful and beautiful, and all men will be surprised when they see it, but needless to say, Zhang Yuhong, Tang Chengcheng is a righteous gentleman with a firm mind and a broad mind, even if it is Li Shishi. Xiningzi, a person who has a deep sense of the city government and a calculating person, sees it, at most, he secretly admires it. What you should do or what you do. That is to say, only Nangong and Zhang Hengliang, who are full of food and have nothing to do all day long, and have no place in their hearts, will be fascinated at first sight, and feel that there is nothing more beautiful and worth pursuing in the world than this, no matter how they can't help but try their best to come over. He Tian, the Kunlun faction who is infatuated with Bai Jinfeng, is also this virtue. In Xiao Xia's eyes, these are all ignorant young people's self-inflicted amorous behavior, and even the word infatuation is far from it, Zhang Hengliang came over to tease him with words, and he only felt naΓ―ve and funny, and he felt the same as a child dancing with a thin mud stick to show off his might, he really didn't mind much.

Speaking of this, Xiao Xia suddenly remembered that Luo San, who was still there in Nangongtong, was in charge. That Luo San is not this kind of ignorant young man, he looks like he is in his thirties, and after talking to him, Xiao Xia also feels that he is indeed a man with considerable wit and perseverance, who values love and righteousness, as the leader of a small gang, he has seen a lot of sophistication in fighting and killing people, but for some reason, he can't fall in love with Mingyue at first sight like those teenagers, and even more so, not only can it be regarded as infatuation, but also some to the point of being a little stunned and unreasonable. Xiao Xia was also puzzled by this, and could only sigh that the world was so big.

"By the way, can Zhang Zhenren and Master Shifang gain anything today?" These trivial things flashed in his heart, Xiao Xia still cared about the current practical problems and asked Zhang Yuhong.

Zhang Yuhong said with a solemn face: "Poor Dao has just borrowed the power of faith of the believers who have come to the Heavenly Master View these days to incense, and has laid a simple Zhengyi Detention Divine Response Qi Array with this Heavenly Master Concept as the core, and can cast a spell to cover a radius of ten miles with its own induction, as long as there is a Yin Ghost Demon Dao or a strong and unrestrained breath, the Poor Dao will feel its own feelings. But now it seems that there is no abnormality. It's just that this method is definitely useless to the Earth Spirit Master, his Heavenly Master's Dao cultivation is extremely profound, and he has the convenience of the Yang God Law Body, so I have to be careful that he uses this magic circle to confuse me. I can only hope to find the person who came to join him before the Earth Spirit Master changes places again. ”

The ten directions also joined and said: "The poor monk checked carefully on the city tower today with Guanyin Hui's eyes, and he did not find any suspicious people. It's a pity that the poor monk's cultivation of this magical power is very shallow, and such an act can only be said to be better than nothing. ”

"That kid can only stay here and wait for news from the two of you, and don't be ashamed to die. Xiao Xia smiled bitterly. He and Mingyue couldn't help much, so they could only wait in this Heavenly Master's View.

"Where, if it weren't for Xia Daoyou's plot to break the Earth Spirit Master with a word a few days ago, we would be blind now. Now it's more or less targeted. I can't imagine that the Earth Spirit Master really has someone to come to pick him up, or someone who has something to do with the Demon Sect. It's just that I don't know if it's from Yongzhou, or"

Between the words, Zhang Yuhong's face became more and more heavy. The reason is that two days ago, I accidentally found a few ghost bees in this grand city.

The Yin Soul Bee is a small demon beast cultivated from the Yin Soul of a human. It doesn't have the slightest combat power, and it's not a threat even to ordinary people, but it's extremely sensitive to the specified breath, and it's specifically used to find the designated target. This thing is not easy to cultivate, and it is a secret method handed down from the Demon Sect, which is extremely taboo in the rivers and lakes, and it is rare to see it in ordinary times. But it came at this time. immediately became a strong evidence for Xiao Xia's guess.

In fact, it is not a good way to stay in this grand view city, and once the earth spirit masters change places and make trouble, they can only be led by the nose to follow. But in a clueless situation. Now this can only be regarded as a helpless solution.

"Speaking of which, the Earth Spirit Master was in the underground underground canal of the county seat of Wuxi, and he had indeed asked the poor monk and Xia Daochang about the Demon Sect. Shifang also said at this time. "The poor monk also felt strange after learning the identity of the earth spirit master, the Demon Sect only rose in the previous dynasty. It's only been 200 years. Both the doctrine and the Tao are limited to humanity, and as a non-human, the Earth Spirit Master would be interested. ”

"The devil starts from the heart, and the demon rises from the people. If it is not a human, where does the demon come from, where does the demon come from? Zhang Yuhong sighed heavily and bowed his hand to Shifang and Xiao Xia Mingyue. "If the Earth Spirit Master has strong reinforcements outside, then I don't know how difficult it will be to deal with. The cunning of man is difficult to prevent, and it is a hundred times worse than that snake demon with brute strength. Now I only have to rely on three. ”

"Amitabha, subduing demons and subduing demons is to save people from fire and water. The poor monk is duty-bound, why should Zhang Zhenren be polite. ”

Zhang Zhenren was polite. Xiao Xia could only smile bitterly and arch his hand. The Heavenly Master Sect is such a big behemoth, a dignified Daomen Ancestral Court, Zhang Yuhong can only rely on the meager strength of his three outsiders in the face of such an important juncture, which is really a little funny. Not to mention the Zhang Tianshi on Longhu Mountain, even the Cloud Channel person in this Hongjing City doesn't have the demeanor of a person in the Dao Sect, or a person in the rivers and lakes, while concealing and covering up the truth, he hyped up the illusion to earn fame, and he actually came to beg Zhang Yuhong not to tell the truth that he also knew the truth about the Earth Spirit Master. It feels like Xiao Xia is like those petty officials who are used to deceiving their superiors and subordinates, and they are good at pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages, but it is extremely difficult to rely on them to do anything practical and difficult.

"By the way, speaking of that Heavenly Master Zhang Hengliang, I think it's best to find a way to persuade him to go back to Longhu Mountain. In the face of the Earth Spirit Master, no one has time to take care of this Zhang Hengliang Little Daoist. In case of a mistake, how can Zhang Zhenren explain to Zhang Tianshi?" Xiao Xia was most worried about in the past two days. At such an important time, it is really life-threatening to send a drag.

"The Heavenly Master has an order, but the poor way is also impossible. Zhang Yuhong shook his head slightly, his expression was lonely, and something indescribable flashed faintly in his eyes. As a child of the Zhang family, the rules of the family cannot be disobeyed, so the meaning of the heavenly master is only to do his best, even if he dies, he can only return this ability to the ancestors of the Zhang family. ”

A gentleman can be deceived in a way. Xiao Xia passed this sentence in her heart, but she didn't say it.

"Amitabha, Zhang Zhenren is really a square gentleman. But Shifang said this. "Being so frank and upright, abiding by one's own heart, sure enough, only with this kind of heart can the Heavenly Master teach the correct method and cultivate it to become the first person in a hundred years. Even Zhang Zhenren is in Confucianism, and he must be a world-famous generation. ”

The master praised it. Zhang Yuhong hurriedly waved his hand. I couldn't help but sigh again, my expression was lonely, and I muttered. Regardless of Confucianism and Taoism, based on the world, it must be to seek a dignified and upright, but unfortunately this truth is slowly no one remembers Maybe Zhenwu Zong is right, in fact, the three religions are one, and the sects are full of hostility to each other, and there are many grievances, which is because of the gradual waiting and obscenity in this humanity. No matter what kind of Taoism we practice, if we don't have the great determination and perseverance to jump out of it, we are just poor worms who can't help but drift with the tide in this torrent of humanity. ”

"Amitabha, Amitabha" Shifang didn't know what to think of, and he also praised the Buddha with an astringent face.

"Daoist Xia, what is humanity, what is the torrent of humanity?" Mingyue secretly leaned into Xiao Xia's ear and asked, the heat from the words made Xiao Xia feel itchy in his ears. "I think Zhang Zhenren and the little monk are very unhappy. I feel very uncomfortable, but I can't help it, anyway, I can't tell me, I don't feel like they themselves understand what is bad?"

"You can see by the way they look. It's a troublesome thing. Natsu replied softly. Looking sideways at Mingyue's delicate and beautiful, but baby-like simple face, I couldn't help but feel soft in my heart, reached out and touched the top of her head, the tentacles were satin-like long black hair, and said softly: "Fortunately, Mingyue, you are not involved in it, you can also remember not to contaminate these." ”

"Such troublesome stuff. I don't want to bother with it, I'm not stupid. Mingyue smiled.

At this time, the cloud channel people walked in. Zhang Yuhong decided to stay in this Hongjing City for the time being, waiting for the Earth Spirit Master, and followed Zhang Hengliang to come. As the town keeper in the dignified county, this cloud channel person also immediately and consciously ran up and down, helping to deal with all kinds of trivial matters like a handyman in front of the saddle. As soon as he came in, he respectfully reported to Zhang Yuhong: "Yuhong Zhenren, the senior brother Liu Hongde who left before is back again. He said he wanted to see you. But do you want him to come in?"

"Senior Brother Liu Hongde, how could it be? Didn't he go back to Longhu Mountain first?" Zhang Yuhong was stunned. I thought about it. Let him in. ”

When he saw Liu Hongde again, Zhang Yuhong was slightly taken aback. He remembered that when he left before, Liu Hongde still looked like he was desperate to die. It's no wonder that after decades of hard work, he inexplicably endured such a heinous crime, which would be difficult for anyone to bear, and he was once very worried about Liu Hongde. But now it seems that although Liu Hongde's expression is still sad, the spirit of the whole person has completely recovered, and he is no longer the appearance of the walking dead.

"Senior Brother Liu. This is the Ten Directions Monk of the Pure Land Zen Temple, the Bright Moon Girl. There is also the head of the Qingfeng Road of the Maoshan faction. It was with their help that I was able to retreat in front of the Earth Spirit Master. Now they're here to help. Three, this is my senior brother Liu Hongde, who has been friends with me in the mountains for many years, and has helped me many times when I am in trouble. ”

Last time, Liu Hongde and Zhang Yuhong were just in a hurry, and they were shocked by the bad news and left in despair, and they didn't see the three of Shifang, and this time Zhang Yuhong officially introduced him. Liu Hongde also hugged his fists to the three of them one by one, and his eyes froze slightly when he saw the bright moon, as if he was also shocked that such a beautiful young woman was actually from Buddhism.

"What's the matter, Senior Brother Liu, don't you go back to the mountains first?" Zhang Yuhong already trusted the three of Shifang Xiaoxia in his heart, not to mention that the three of them even knew the secret of the Earth Spirit Master, so they didn't expect to hide anything from the three of them anymore. asked Liu Hongde in front of the three of them.

"I'm not going back yet. I have already told Senior Brother Wuling that they should go back by themselves, anyway, it is not far from Jingnan here, and you also said that you don't have to worry about the people of the Tang family and Yunzhou, they can go back by themselves. I don't have the heart to go back for a while. Liu Hongde sighed, and could see that his feelings were still quite low. "I've figured out some things, they just want an excuse, why should I rush back to make them happy? ”

"So, that's fine. Thank you, brother. Zhang Yuhong only hesitated slightly, but still nodded. Indeed, as Liu Hongde said, there is no point in him rushing back to Longhu Mountain now, although it is also dangerous to stay here, but even Zhang Hengliang is here, and there seems to be no one more. And speaking of which, Liu Hongde's cultivation is not high, but his experience in the rivers and lakes is extremely sufficient, and now this extremely passive situation may be more or less a help.

###

Thousands of feet underground in Hongjing City, in a pitch-black rock formation, an old Taoist who was sitting cross-legged seemed to be aware of it and opened his eyes.

Here are thick rock formations, without the slightest gap or space to speak of. But this old Taoist has been sitting cross-legged here, although his demeanor is indifferent, but he is also relaxed, and even the Taoist robe on his body has never shown the slightest sign of being squeezed. In this rock formation, he looks like a fish in the water, and he is seamlessly and freely integrated with the surrounding environment, and it seems that he is simply a real virtual image projected in this rock.

Lao Dao didn't have the slightest abnormality when he sat quietly, and the whole person seemed to be completely still. But as soon as he opened his eyes, his body slowly began to change slightly, and some extremely small sparks of golden light began to bounce off him, and then exploded and disappeared.

If someone can see this scene, and their eyesight is good enough to a certain extent, they can see that the explosion from him is actually a very small talisman cloud pattern. After these talismans and moire were exploded, some of them were like this old way, completely integrated with the surrounding rock formations, without producing the slightest effect, some of them blew a mass of rock into gravel, some condensed a little water droplet in the crack of the rock, and some directly burned the rock into a small cloud of magma.

Lao Dao raised his head, and a pair of eyes seemed to have seen through thousands of feet of earth and rocks, and directly included the Hongjing City above in his sight. But after a while he shook his head again, and closed his eyes in a little disappointment.

As he closed his eyes, all the visions that emanated from him disappeared, and he fell silent again. (To be continued......)
