Tonight is a slender moon and a half,

It seems that your eyebrows are crooked.

At that time, on the banks of the river,

May you be 100 years old.

......

After a busy day, after waiting for the tired birds to return to their nests and the glow to cover up, Li Chu also ended the time of "being in the Buddha Gate and the heart in the Tao" and returned to the Deyun Temple in the south of the city.

The third and final round of the Buddha Destiny will begin tomorrow and will be attended by the top 10 students in the second round.

actually won the first place in the second round of the competition, which surprised Li Chu himself.

Originally......

Can you get the first place with a good night's sleep?

Li Chu passed by the contestants who were seriously injured by vomiting blood in the supreme thunder sound, and their eyes were a little strange when they looked at each other.

There was a suspicion in his eyes that "something was wrong".

Especially the second prince of the old city.

Before leaving, Li Chu glanced at him and found that he was also looking at him with a creepy shiny gaze.

For a moment, he wondered if the plan had been revealed.

Back to Deyun Perspective.

Before he could enter the door, he heard a commotion coming from inside. When he walked in, the courtyard was in a mess, and Li Chu sighed in his heart.

Isn't it a thief?

Then he raised his hand and touched his chest, bulging and very down-to-earth.

The rest of the silver tickets are here, and I thought that there was nothing to steal in the temple, so I was relieved.

When I walked to the backyard, I saw Wang Longqi, the fox girl, and Du Lanke in a circle, with a stern expression, and loudly reprimanded something.

And among the three of them, there is a little fat dragon with a drooping head.

is obviously a dragon clan with a strong head, but at this time, he has a tail between his legs, his head is about to hang down to his belly, and his big eyes are filled with tears when he occasionally raises them, and he is trained to look like a third grandson.

"What's wrong?" Li Chu walked over and asked.

The fox girl pinched her waist and said angrily, "I'll go out to buy vegetables this afternoon." ”

"I went out to exorcise evil spirits for pilgrims. Du Daochang also said.

"I also have something to go out...... Wang Longqi also said.

"It's just at home. The fox girl pointed to the dejected Thunder Dragon, and then to the chaotic courtyard around her, "It almost demolished the entire Taoist temple!"

"Huh?"

Li Chu cautiously looked at the little fat dragon.

This thing still has the blood of the northern wolf?

But look at its state of hanging its head and scolding obediently...... I used to look like a good baby...... It's hard to imagine such a husky behavior.

At a young age, there are two faces.

It seemed to see that Li Chu was the talker in this Taoist temple, and the little fat dragon walked to him step by step with his stomach dangling, and stretched out his paws pitifully and gently tugged at the corners of Li Chu's clothes.

As soon as Li Chu lowered his head, he met a pair of big eyes full of innocence.

The hard-hearted heart is about to melt when he sees it.

So he said with pity: "The child has such a good attitude of admitting his mistakes, he scolds and beats him casually...... Three meals, in the small black room for seven days, in the middle of the meal is not allowed to eat. ”

"Okay. ”

Wang Longqi rolled up his sleeves and smiled evilly.

"Boom!

Ignoring the screams behind him, Li Chushi Shiran walked back to his room.

A little later, the panting Du Daochang came over.

It seems that beating children is a lot of hard work, and Du Daochang is obviously a little tired at this age.

"Master. He came in and sat down, and said, "There's something that might turn back on you." ”

"What's the matter?" asked Li Chu.

"There is a shopkeeper Liu on the front street, and there are dozens of stores under him, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the family has a lot of money. Duranke recounted: "His family used to invite me to the door when there was a problem, and now his wife is pregnant. ”

"In between...... Is there any causal relationship?" Li Chu asked cautiously.

"He definitely doesn't have this in his house. Duranke hurriedly denied it.

Li Chu nodded and did not chase deeply.

"But Shopkeeper Liu is very nervous about this child. Because we knew each other, he also told me the reason after I asked me several times. Duranke continued.

It turned out that before he made his fortune, his family was extremely miserable, and the whole family fled from the north, starving to death several people, leaving only one of him and an old lady. Seeing that his wife was about to starve to death, a strange man appeared...... It's a Gu Master. ”

"Gu Master?" Li Chu groaned, "That's not the ...... of Southern Xinjiang"

Inheritances like Gu masters and wizards with a slightly strange flavor are mostly spread in the southern land of Xinjiang, which is quite far away from Shenluo City. Moreover, these inheritors attach the most importance to the ancestral land, and rarely leave southern Xinjiang, so he feels a little strange.

As for why this Gu Master came to the north, he didn't know. But when the man said so, he believed so. Du Daochang continued: "The man found him and said that he could give him a lifetime of wealth, but the price was to have his second child. ”

"Gu Master's original words, Shopkeeper Liu can't remember it clearly. But probably to say...... Ask his second child to be a Gu for him. Shopkeeper Liu asked him what he was going to do, and he said that you would know after thirty years......"

Li Chu frowned, it sounded a little evil.

At that time, Shopkeeper Liu didn't take it too seriously, not to mention that it was impossible for him to marry a daughter-in-law at that time, and even his own life was about to die. Hearing the Gu Master's words, he just rushed to the doctor when he was sick, so he casually agreed. ”

Who knew that from then on, Shopkeeper Liu really met kind-hearted people one after another, and it was even smoother to do business, buying and selling to make money. A man named Hanako, who fled from the north, has become the richest man in the south of the city in more than ten years, which can be said to be a god. ”

"But what about this year......"

Duranke's words changed: "Shopkeeper Liu's wife is pregnant with a child, because his first child is a girl, so he has always wanted to have a son to inherit the family business. But what...... This year is exactly the thirtieth year since he met that Gu Master......"

When Li Chu heard this, he frowned for a long time, and then said slowly.

"This shopkeeper Liu...... Patriarchal. ”

"Poof. Duranke almost choked on a mouthful of water, and said busily: "Let's not care about these in this era, but now the problem is that Shopkeeper Liu has not been at ease, and he is very worried about what will happen to this child." He asked the doctors of the entire southern city to take turns to look at it, and he didn't see any problems. I used my divine sense to help him probe twice, and now that the birth of the child is getting closer and closer, he wants to ask someone to use the art of hope to see again......"

He raised his eyes and added in a low voice, "The pay is quite good." ”

"No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor Taoism, and no matter how hard you are, you can't be bitter about children. Li Chu glanced at him and bowed his head heavily: "This matter is incumbent." ”

Du Daochang also echoed heavily: "The benefits are not shirkable. ”

......

The next morning, Li Chu set off again and went to the White Dragon Temple outside the city to participate in the Buddha Yuan meeting.

On this day, the venue was much grander than yesterday.

However, there were only a few 10 contestants left.

Although the supreme thunder sound of the Ancestral Stele Forest will make people's qi and blood confused, and even vomit blood, this is actually not a major injury for cultivators, and they can basically recover after a while of pranayama. If they digest what they gained yesterday, it will be of great benefit to their practice.

In short, after a night of recuperation, it will not affect today's competition at all.

Compared with the physical ones, the mental impact they suffered yesterday was obviously stronger.

When Goodbye Li Chu appeared, the expressions of the other contestants became subtle. Li Chu had a very peaceful time last night, but they were not idle, and they were all in full swing behind his back to check where he came from.

Li Chu didn't hide that he was from Deyun's view, so they easily got a mixed result.

It's like taking an exam, there is a candidate who comes up and sleeps, you don't even see his name, and he comes out in the first place.

As a result, when I came back to inquire, I found that he was still from the school next door.

It's still school grass.

Fuck.

Extremely harsh in nature.

It's not just them who have complicated feelings, but also the two monks on the top of Hongdu Mountain.

For the old monk and the young monk, a Buddha meeting is not very important. But after the little monk couldn't help but participate in it yesterday, the level of attention changed.

In particular, his personal intervention did not succeed in changing the outcome.

The old monk looked at Li Chu worriedly.

No one should know how strong the master's desire to win is better than him, and that is something that cannot be erased for the entire nine lifetimes of reincarnation and two hundred years of cultivating Buddha.

The little monk's immature face was really serious today, not sad or happy, and his eyes were calm.

"Master......" The old monk asked tentatively, "Do you want to stop that little Taoist priest today......?"

"Huh. The little monk smiled slightly.

The old monk sighed silently and appeared, a sneer on the master's face that had not been seen for many years and would only appear in the face of a strong enemy.

"Today's competition is the Heart Demon Forest, the heart demon is ever-changing, and he is only afraid of the Dharma, even if I don't make a move, he may not be able to pass this level. ”

Recommended, the book reading app I have been using recently, there are many book sources, all books, and fast updates!

"The demons are really hard to deal with. The old monk had no choice but to echo him.

Below, Zen Master Faqing appears again.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate the few people who won yesterday's competition and entered the third round of the Buddha Fate Meeting. At this time, we are already one step away from the Buddha's fate, so please try our best to move forward. ”

Zen Master Faqing bowed slightly to several contestants before he began to introduce today's competition.

"The content of the third round of the competition is the Heart Demon Forest!"

"The Heart Demon Forest is a place of trial in my White Dragon Temple, which is sealed with the seed of the heart demon of the ancient era, as long as someone steps into it, they will meet their own heart demon. The demons are born from the obsessions in your hearts, and it is not yet known what specific images will appear. Once you're in the woods, be careful about whatever comes your way. ”

"It needs to be reminded that with the state of mind of a mortal, the heart demon is almost impossible to kill. And the final victory or defeat depends on how well you fight the demons in your heart. All temptations in the middle can be dangers, all dangers can be tests, and if you want to win, you must keep your heart. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, please. ”

The vast and gloomy forest in the mountain behind the White Dragon Temple has always existed as a forbidden place. Although there is only a simple monument in front of the forest, if you move forward in the past, you will be blocked by an invisible barrier.

This dense Black Forest cannot be entered by anyone who is not destined to enter.

After a long time, on this day, there were ten destined people.

Ten of them were taken to different entrances and entered separately. Given the vastness of this forest, it is unlikely that they will meet unless they converge on site.

Walk along the forest path and your demons will appear.

Witnessing what kind of demons these contestants will have is also one of the pleasures of the monks of the White Dragon Temple. Because what is exposed at this time is often an unknown nature, and it will even be the opposite of the character that is usually shown.

Wine, sex, wealth, and gas......

Greed, hatred, and ignorance......

It's like a mirror, reflecting all kinds of obsessions in the world.

......

After hearing the words of Zen Master Faqing, a trace of curiosity rose in Li Chu's heart.

their own obsessions...... What will it be?

Money?XP?

Or go home?

Or is it a master or someone else from Deyunguan?

But nothing happened after walking for a long time......

He gradually doubted that he and others were not on the same channel at all like in the last competition, right?

The last game can be fooled, what should I do in this one?

While he was thinking to himself, he suddenly heard a voice from the depths of the dense forest in the other direction in front of him, "Save me......"

"Huh?"

Li Chu lined up the messy branches in the jungle and walked over to see that it was actually another contestant.

A young monk dressed in a gray cloth robe, leaning weakly against a tree, his legs bloody.

"My demons broke my legs...... Please, take me out. The young monk stretched out his hand towards Li Chu.

......

"His inner demon ......," the old monk on the top of the mountain sighed in surprise, "It's quite rare." ”

"Hmm. ”

The little monk was a little silent.

After a long time, he said: "Usually only a great virtuous monk who is rare to see in hundreds of years will have this kind of demon. ”

"It's ......"

"Compassion. ”

"Oh?" the old monk was a little surprised.

"His obsession is not to gain for himself, but to help others. Therefore, the inner demon will transform into a need of help and attack him. ”

"Then to defeat this demon, you have to become hard-hearted?" the old monk asked.

Because they know that defeating the demons of the heart is not a simple killing, but a fundamental way to do so.

"I don't know. The little monk shook his head and smiled: "I haven't met it, and I don't know how to solve it." But...... It's just sad. ”

......

Li Chu looked at this person with deep eyes.

I couldn't see the difference between him with my mind and eye, and I thought that if it was a change in my heart, it wouldn't be so easy to see.

Anything is possible in the Demon Forest, and when you think he's fake, he's real......

Never mind.

Thinking like this, Li Chu finally stepped forward.

"It's better to ...... I'll help you heal first. ”

"Will you heal?"

"I understand a little bit. ”

Li Chu stepped forward, checked the young monk's wounds, and then put his hands together.

At the same time, the moment he bowed his head, a fleeting cold glint flashed in the young monk's eyes.

The miraculous thing about the Demon Seed is that it can instantly generate a mentally complete Demon according to the obsession of the person who enters. Everything about this inner demon was born to restrain the original owner.

He could feel that Li Chu was still very wary of him now.

But that's okay......

As long as you have compassion, then I will always find an opportunity......

Just when he was secretly ruthless.

A small sun slowly rises......

And then......

His bloody legs were gradually healed by the light of the Buddha of the Little Bodhi Mantra.

And then ......

In the White Dragon Temple, the Dharma bell, which had been silent for some time, suddenly rang again......

Buzz –

This sound shook the four fields.

In Shenluo City, countless golden iron horses died down in an instant, and many heavy rains poured down.

Some people were even so frightened that they fell out of bed, exclaiming: "It's back, it's all back!"

But......

The influence of mortals is far less than that of these people in the Heart Demon Forest......

The Little Bodhi Mantra is a gentle and healing Dharma, so the demons in the mind are still unaffected. As soon as the sound of this Dharma bell rang, it was like a thunderbolt.

At this time, the Dharma bell rang, and the young monk's body shook, and he looked up to the sky and spit out a mouthful of blood!

"You...... It's ......"

Li Chu's pupils trembled, how could a little Bodhi spell go down, but this person was going to die?

The young monk took Li Chu's hand and explained tremblingly, "Inside...... Internal. ”

"It's okay, my little Bodhi mantra can heal even internal injuries, I'll give it to you again. ”

As he spoke, Li Chu picked up Xiao Bodhi again.

A small sun rises again......

The wounds on the young monk's body were slowly healed, and then ......

Buzz –

Another bell rang.

"Poof—"

Bloodstained forever again.
