Chapter Ninety-Five: The Empty Past
Poof!
The already choppy river was instantly struck up by several white waves several feet high.
The big black fish leaned up from the middle, opened its bloody mouth, and sucked hard from its mouth full of sharp teeth.
The flying sword with the yellow paper in mid-air was swallowed.
"It's you who waits ......"
Xia Zhicicada withdrew the spell cast on the yellow paper, and slapped his palms at the same time.
"Rise!"
"Amitabha Buddha ......"
The Zen master of Bukong also folded his hands almost at the same time, and said to the huge catfish rolling on the surface of the river:
"The Buddha said that the mirror is a dream after all."
A few golden Sanskrit characters flew out of the mouth of the great monk, and then slowly floated to the forehead of the big catfish.
The huge fish's eyes were filled with golden Buddha light, and it was originally driven by hunger, but now it forgot what it was going to do, and even forgot its instinct to swim.
The fins of the fish swung a few times, and the jet-black body fell directly into the river.
With a loud bang, the unstoppable waves spread out in all directions, and many large stones sunk at the bottom of the river were swept to the bank by the current.
Xia Zhiciao's hands pinched the Dao Duel, and the array stone buried before instantly emitted a blue light, forming a huge circle formation at the place where the catfish fell.
A blue light flashed, and then everything vanished.
The white mist rose because of the surging waves, covering the entire surface of the river, and for a while no one could see the movement in the river.
There's no movement—hiss, it's not going to let it run.
Xia Zhician frowned, he felt that he should not be so unlucky, it took half a day of hard work, consumed an unknown amount of true qi and energy, and finally got such a failed result.
The autumn wind by the river was very cold, blowing the corners of everyone's clothes.
Jiang Qin wanted to summon her saber back, but she pointed at the sword and raised it upward, but she felt that the induction between herself and the saber was suddenly broken.
She furrowed her eyebrows and pursed her lips.
"Amitabha Buddha ......"
Zen Master Bukong was the first to stretch his eyebrows, he looked at the river happily, then nodded slightly, and said:
"Good."
"Master, are you saying we succeeded? But I don't feel ......?"
Xia Zhicicada let the phantom array operate, but he was not sure whether he had trapped the catfish spirit inside, after all, although the other party was huge, he had no demonic energy, so he had no way to judge.
There are countless fish in the river, how do you know that the one you want is trapped in the tank?
"Hahaha, if you see it, you don't see it, and if you don't see it, you see it."
Master Bukong obviously can't see things, but many times when you get along with him, you forget this, and his invisible eyes are even clearer than others.
A few flicks of the sleeve robe dispelled some of the white mist on the river.
Across the river, you can see a huge figure swimming underwater, it is like a mule and horse that pulls the mill, it can only circle and circle in a range, but it can't swim out.
"It's done!"
Xia Zhician let out a sigh and said with a smile.
Jiang Qin on the side was still frowning and unhappy, she knew that the big fish was now managed to be trapped by them, which was of course a good thing, but her saber was also buried in the belly of the fish.
Crunch, crunch.
The black catfish was swimming, while trying to gnaw on the flying sword that he had just grabbed with great difficulty, the sword body had been completely deformed, and the fish teeth were gnawed by pits.
This flying sword is like a big bone with no meat at all but a very meaty smell to the catfish, and it can only gnaw hard.
Xia Zhician looked at the sword that had turned into a piece of scrap iron in the fish's mouth, and then looked at Jiang Qin, who was frowning and pursing his mouth with an unhappy face:
"Uh...... I'll pay you back. ”
"Humph!"
Jiang Qin turned around and left, and a white rainbow disappeared into the sky.
"Alas...... It's my fault again. ”
Xia Zhician shrugged his shoulders, he had nothing to say now, after all, it was indeed because of himself that Jiang Qin's sword was buried in the belly of the fish.
"Amitabha Buddha ......"
The Zen master of Bukong waited for Jiang Qin to leave before coming over, he always looked like he was smiling, first recited the Buddha's name, and then continued:
"Xia Lingguan, in this red dust, everyone can't escape grievances and hatred......"
Xia Zhician was originally very happy, but because of the matter of the flying sword, Jiang Qin was angry, and now he saw the Zen master of Bukong coming over to say cool words, and immediately rolled his eyes.
He asked rhetorically:
"Master, you are also a human being, dare to ask if you have ever been troubled by this 'grievance and hatred'?"
Xia Zhicicada means that you dare to say no, I can know from what you just said, you said that everyone can't escape, if you don't, it means that you are not human.
If you dare to say that there is, then at least he is not the only one who is embarrassed.
As a monk who is empty of the four majors, he has also been troubled by grievances and hatreds, so how can you be empty of the four majors?
"Hahaha, Buddha said to see through the red dust. If you don't enter this red dust, how can you see through the red dust? ”
When Zen Master Bukong said this, he suddenly paused, he seemed to remember something, and shook his head with some pity before continuing:
"Before the old monk entered the sand gate, he was also a reckless man who dared to love and hate. He was once angry at the crown and was a big fight with the Zhan family in Kaifeng Mansion. ”
"Kaifeng Zhanjia is one of the four famous families in the rivers and lakes. It is a martial arts family that is good at light skills and knife skills, and its ancestors have an inexplicable relationship with the government. You actually dare to go against the Zhan family in Kaifeng Mansion. ”
Xia Zhician can be regarded as an eye-opener now, remembering that the kind-hearted monk in front of him was a terrible character who could destroy three hundred bandits in one night when he was young and roamed the rivers and lakes, which shows the high martial arts and courage of the smiling King Kong at that time.
"The old monk remembered that he injured many masters of the Zhan family that time, and he almost killed many people at that time......
Master Bukong squinted, and his flat tone seemed to be telling someone else's story.
"And then? How could the Kaifeng exhibitors give up......"
Xia Zhician naturally understands that these rivers and lakes families are surprisingly consistent in dealing with things that hurt the family's face, after all, walking in the rivers and lakes is about the word face, once you lose face, you can't mix in the rivers and lakes.
"Later, I found out that the girl I thought was forcibly taken away by the Zhan family at that time was actually the youngest daughter of the Zhan family......
Speaking of this, Bukong significantly slowed down his tone.
In front of his eyes, he seemed to see the woman who was rude and willful even if she was tied up by a cow tendon rope and looked angry, she just shouted for help at that time, why did she rush over by ghost......
"Huh? Wouldn't that be a big misunderstanding......"
Xia Zhiciao's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what the scene was at that time. For the sake of the young daughter of the Zhan family, the young Zen master of Bukong fought with the master of the Zhan family.
Later, when I made it clear, I realized that I had done something wrong with good intentions. Although there were no dead people in the Zhan family, many people were seriously injured and vomited blood by me. The head of the Zhan family personally came forward to talk to me about this matter......"
Zen Master Bukong stood by the river, the cold wind blowing a few strands of his gray hair.
The past is always like a fish in the river, sometimes sinking to the bottom and disappearing, sometimes suddenly popping up on the water, but it is also a flash.
When he reached his twilight age, he realized how much he had done wrong and how much he had missed.
"The head of the Zhan family negotiated a condition with me, as long as I do it, no matter what the result is, the grievances between the Zhan family and me will be written off."
"What are the conditions?"
Xia Zhician was curious, what kind of conditions would the head of the Zhan family prescribe to embarrass the young Zen Master Bukong, after all, many people in his family were seriously injured, if it was not handled properly, not to mention that outsiders and his own family would not agree.
"You know."
Zen Master Bukong did not answer Xia Zhicicada directly, but said something inexplicable.
I know. Could it be......
Xia Zhician swallowed his saliva, and he said his guess:
"Could it be that when you went up the mountain alone to kill all three hundred bandits, that was the condition set by the Zhan family with you?"
The smiling King Kong alone killed hundreds of bandits in a cottage, which can be said to have shocked the entire rivers and lakes, and also made his prestige spread far and wide.
"Yes. At that time, the bandits were really vicious. The local county order begged the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture, and the officials of Kaifeng Mansion had to find Zhan's family, but in the end it fell on my head inexplicably. ”
Zen Master Bukong nodded, the rivers and lakes all know the smiling King Kong who killed the bandits in one night, but few people know why he went up the mountain and why he killed the bandits in that mountain.
"You're amazing."
Xia Zhician sighed from the bottom of his heart.
You must know that the Bukong Zen master at that time had not yet entered the Buddhist gate, which means that he could defeat a hundred with the martial arts he learned alone, which shows his talent and roots.
"Hahahaha, it's just a stupid thing to be young and frivolous."
"In 'Grievances and Hatreds', you said the part about grievances, so ...... this relationship"
Xia Zhician couldn't help but smile and looked at the Zen Master Bukong, he also wanted to know if the old monk had any romantic affairs when he was young.
"Amitabha Buddha ......"
The Bukong Zen master suddenly folded his hands and recited the Buddha's name.
There was a rare hesitation on his calm countenance, which had gone through vicissitudes, and the gray hair represented the length of time that had passed on him.
"She'......"
He only said one word, and then he didn't know how to continue.
Even the Bukong Zen Master, who has experienced the vicissitudes of life like Mount Tai, is reluctant to recall the one who makes him deeply unforgettable.
Xia Zhician closed his mouth on the side, because the emotion emanating from the word just now was enough to say a lot of things.
He pursed his lips and didn't speak again.
The Zen Master lowered his hands that had been folded, and his dull eyes turned into the distance.
"I see the Buddha and see all living beings......"
As he spoke, two bloody tears suddenly flowed from the corners of his eyes.
"But he didn't dare to look at her again."
