Knowing that the Heavenly Burial Tower was a tower with living people, Lu Xuan naturally had no interest in dealing with the umbrella bearer, so he and Zhang Ruojun immediately bypassed the stage and walked towards the bottom of the mountain.

In the distance, you can still hear the sound of fighting from the other side of the stage, so Lu Xuan said: "The umbrella bearer doesn't look like a person, but he is shrewd, it seems that he wants to take advantage of the fisherman." ”

Zhang Ruojun, who was walking in front, suddenly smiled, took over the conversation, and said slowly: "They are indeed shrewd, but they are not planning to reap the profits of fishermen, but are looking for a hiding place for Void Spirit Ginseng." ”

"You mean the woman on the stage isn't Void Ginseng?" Lu Xuan was slightly surprised: "Didn't those monks see it?" ”

"Yes and no."

Zhang Ruojun stopped and pointed to the dirt underground:

"Void Spirit Ginseng is the favored person of the Tao of Life and Death, and has the miraculous effect of communicating yin and yang, however, the Heavenly Burial Tower is a place where the soul is detained, so it is impossible for the living to stay there for a long time, what the gentleman sees is only the woman's body, and her soul should be hidden in the Forgotten Autumn Mountain at this time."

Hearing this, Lu Xuan's eyes changed slightly, no wonder these medicine guides appeared in front of the eyes of many monks with such a swagger, and now it seems that they have left more than one backhand.

Speaking of the Tao of Life and Death, Lu Xuan remembered the terrifying existence he saw in the inner world, so he couldn't help but ask: "Does the Tao of Life and Death represent life and death?" ”

"The Tao begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and all things are derived from three, and everything in the world has a law, which is both the Tao! The life and death of all things is also one of the laws, so there is nothing wrong with saying that the Tao of life and death refers to the life and death of all things. Zhang Ruojun nodded affirmatively, and said with emotion: "Throughout the ages, I don't know how many monks have fallen on the path of cultivation in order to control the path of life and death, how can they understand that although people are favored by the way of heaven, how can they act against the sky?" ”

"Acting against the sky? Do you mean that as long as the monk is strong enough, he can still master the path of life and death? Seeing Zhang Ruojun nodding, Lu Xuan was shocked:

"Doesn't that mean that you have mastered the way of life and death, that is, you have mastered the life and death of all things in the world? How could such a big thing be tied to one person? ”

Zhang Ruojun said with a smile: "Mr. is too worried, it is not easy to act against the sky, from ancient times to the present, according to the boy's knowledge, there are only a few people who have mastered the way of life and death." ”

"Alone?"

"Well, this person's name is unknown, but Mr. should also know, he is the king of Hades who sits in the Ten Palaces of Yama, and he is the honorific title of ordinary people and laymen." Speaking of which, Zhang Ruojun couldn't help but let out a long sigh here: "It's a pity, now that the Dao is collapsing today, the Three Thousand Great Dao is changing course, although we are monks, we also don't know where to go in the future." ”

The amount of information in Zhang Ruojun's words was not small, which made Lu Xuan slow down for a while and think in his heart.

But he didn't wait long for him to think about it, and suddenly found that they had come to the foot of Forgotten Autumn Mountain.

When he raised his head, he saw that the shadow of the tree was under the shade of the tree, and a red-walled temple that was some years old appeared in front of Lu Xuan's eyes.

He looked at the temple in front of him, and suddenly sensed the other party's intentions, and said coldly: "You brought us to this temple on purpose?" ”

Zhang Ruojun didn't deny it, but just smiled: "Didn't Mr. investigate this matter when he was in Annan County?" Now that all the answers are in this temple, won't the gentleman go in with me and have a look? ”

Although the mandarin duck eye did not remind Lu Xuan that he was in danger, he was not sure that Zhang Ruojun was a friend or an enemy, where would he believe him, and when he was about to turn his head and leave, he saw the other self clapping his hands and laughing: "Have fun" and go into the temple.

In desperation, Lu Xuan had no choice but to follow in, and just to see what kind of medicine Zhang Ruojun was selling in the gourd.

It was already late at night, and there were naturally no pilgrims in the Xiancao Temple, which surprised Lu Xuan a little that the door of the temple was not closed, as if he had expected someone to come.

The moment he stepped into the threshold, Lu Xuan's heart hung up, this relatively dilapidated temple, as soon as he walked in, all kinds of strange flowers and plants were planted on both sides of the East Road, and what was more strange was that the rhizomes of these flowers and plants were actually moving quietly, as if they had their own vitality.

Zhang Ruojun noticed this and said with a smile: "Sir, don't worry, they are actually the souls of people after death, and they rest here, as long as I don't offend them, I don't have to worry about them." ”

The soul of man?

Lu Xuan looked at these things that seemed to be flowers and not flowers, his breathing couldn't help but be a little shorter, and he subconsciously tightened Lu Zhaozhao's hand.

If these flowers and plants only surprised Lu Xuan, then the things enshrined in the Buddha hall made Lu Xuan feel frightened.

There is no Bodhisattva or Buddha in the main hall, and in the middle of the main hall, what is worshiped by pilgrims on weekdays is actually a dry corpse with dark red facial features distorted!

When he saw these dried corpses, the cold hair behind Lu Xuan stood upside down, held the Yin and Yang Sword in his hand, and said in a low voice: "What does it mean here?" Let a group of dried corpses be worshiped by the living? ”

Zhang Ruojun took out a long incense plant from the cabinet under the dried corpse, lit it and inserted it into the incense burner, and said slowly: "These people are extremely resentful after death, if they don't accept the baptism of incense every day, they will turn into evil sooner or later." ”

"How do you know so clearly? What does this temple have to do with your Penglai! Seeing that Zhang Ruojun knew everything in the temple so well, the suspicion in Lu Xuan's heart increased, and he felt more and more that this person should have another purpose.

However, Zhang Ruojun was not in a hurry to explain, but bypassed the dried corpses in the hall and walked towards the meditation room at the back of the temple.

The backyard of the temple has the same flowers and plants as the front yard, and there are so many of them that even the corners of the walls are covered with these red flowers, as if to fill the entire temple.

Lu Xuan and the others avoided the flowers and plants and came to the outside of the meditation room.

The door was open, and in the light of the lamp, you could see the old monk sitting on the bed meditating with his eyes slightly closed.

He was wearing a robe, more than half a hundred years old, with old age between his eyebrows and eyes, and his hands were slightly folded like withered eyes, as if he was reciting some sacred Buddhist scripture.

Even if someone came to the door, he still did so, as if he didn't care who it was.

Seeing that the old monk was chanting, Zhang Ruojun smiled and said: "Old monk, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I'm okay recently." ”

The old monk named Weichen was still reading the scriptures and did not respond to Zhang Ruojun's question.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Ruojun walked into the meditation room, sat on a bench made of wood, and poured himself a cup of tea: "Old monk, your troupe has begun to sing, don't you plan to go out and have a look?" ”
