Chapter 47: Clues
The people in front of him fell down one after another, where the head and torso were separated, blood was splashing unscrupulously, and the blood lines on the ground gathered into blood-colored streams, which merged into the clear river together, and gradually dyed the originally clear river water as red as blood.
The sun, which was supposed to shine on the earth, was now hidden behind the dark clouds, and the darkness of the sun, coupled with the billowing smoke from the fire on the ground, was a scene of the end of the world.
In a half-collapsed thatched hut, a little baby was crying, and a solemn and kind monk in a tattered monk's robe stood beside the little baby and chanted the Buddha's name, "Amitabha, fortunately still alive." β
The monk picked up the baby and walked towards the smoky field, and gradually, the monk's back was obscured by the smoke and could no longer be seen.
Mei Xiao slept very unsteadily on the couch, and kept saying, "Don't go, don't go......"
Reading and reading, Mei Xiao sat up suddenly, and when she opened her eyes, she found that there were no monks around her, no babies, and no smoke and blood all over the ground. It's just an ordinary bamboo building, the morning sun shines through the cracks in the windows of the bamboo building, everything is so peaceful and beautiful, there is no doomsday scene in the dream at all.
Mei Xiao wiped off the cold sweat on her head, "It turned out to be a dream!"
Since arriving in the territory of Dian Kingdom, Mei Xiao has always had some strange dreams, either dreaming of a group of villains killing people, or dreaming of a group of monks chanting, these dreams are so real that Mei Xiao has never believed that they are actually dreams.
Mei Xiao calmed down for a while, and ran the internal qi in her body, which was not very smooth, and there seemed to be something blocking it in some places, and it could not be run completely. When Mei Xiao was fighting with Yue Qing in the ring, he was planted with Gu by Yue Qing, and now, the head of Dian Ying Valley and the elders are working hard to solve the Gu for him, and they have already solved part of it, otherwise, Mei Xiao will not wake up now.
Whether it is the disciples or elders of the Dian Eagle Valley, they all have their own ability to refine unique Gu worms, and Gu is different from poison, and the characteristics of the Gu refined by each person are different, which is very troublesome to solve. A Gu technique of this level like Yue Qing is still only at the stage of being able to refine Gu, and once he plants Gu for others, he can't solve it himself.
After the head and the elders confirmed that Mei Xiaozhong was really a Gu, Yi Yi's face had been ugly, that Yue Qing gave people Gu in the ring, and this Gu would not even be solved by Yue Qing himself, this was obviously to kill Mei Xiao, and the last time Mei Xiao woke up, Yi Yi had already told Mei Xiao about the situation.
Mei Xiao just smiled, since he started to wander the rivers and lakes, there were many people who wanted to kill him, but that time was not the last time he survived? And Mei Xiao thought that this Yue Qing was just eager to win, and the original ring did not clearly stipulate that Gu was not allowed, and there was nothing wrong with using his strongest means to fight.
What's more, Yue Qing has also received punishment, not only was Mei Xiao scratched a long cut on his face, but even his front teeth were smashed off by the pills that the head of the house later used to relieve toxins for him, and that handsome face was completely broken. According to Yi Yi, now all the female disciples in the valley have begun to like Mei Xiao, which makes Yi Yi jealous, and almost didn't unscrew a piece of meat off Mei Xiao's belly.
Mei Xiao smiled helplessly and bitterly, and could only secretly slander herself: "This group of female disciples all like me, and it's none of my business, what are you doing pinching me?"
Those elders finally stopped busy with Mei Xiao's side today, seeing that the weather was good, Mei Xiao walked to the courtyard to bask in the sun, since the fight, Mei Xiao's three meals a day were sent by the disciples of Dian Ying Valley, and the residence was also replaced by this luxurious bamboo building with an independent courtyard, the courtyard is planted with all kinds of flowers and plants, and there is even a towering tree, there are four reclining chairs and a coffee table in the shade under the tree, which is a good place to enjoy the coolness.
Now, Mei Xiao is lying on this recliner, shaking the fan in her hand and closing her eyes to recuperate, enjoying a rare leisure time. Mei Xiao hadn't been so relaxed for a long time, and he was thinking that it would be good to lie on the recliner for a day.
However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and Mei Xiao's beautiful fantasy was shattered the moment Yi Yi walked into the courtyard.
Yi Yi walked over with a map in his hand, spread the map on the coffee table, and looked at Mei Xiao, who was pretending to be asleep, "You can't use your luck if you are in the Gu, can't you look at the map and listen to the plan?" Don't pretend to be dead, get up for me!"
Mei Xiao was helpless, so she had to sit up from the comfortable recliner and listen carefully to Yi Yi talking about the actions of the disciples of Dianying Valley.
Yi Yi said: " Since the end of the ring, almost all the disciples who can go out of the mountain in the Eagle Valley have gone out to look for the traces of the Dark Death Pavilion, according to the news sent back by some disciples, the area close to the Buddha Land, in recent years, there have always been people who have disappeared inexplicably, there are adults, there are also children, it is common for adults there to leave their hometowns to seek development in other places, and it is also common for children to be taken away by wild beasts in the mountains, so the disappearance of the population has never attracted people's attention, and when our disciples of the Eagle Valley went to investigate, they found that the disappearance of the population of those villages was much more than that of other villages, and they suspected that it was done by the Dark Death Pavilionγ β
Mei Xiao nodded, "It sounds like they do something, but what do they do when they catch people? Adults don't care, they may be going to do some work, what about children? What do they do when they catch children?"
Yi Yi shook his head and said, "How do I know? If I knew, I would be a member of the Dark Death Pavilion." β
Mei Xiao's expression became solemn, "No matter what, we can only send someone to investigate first, otherwise, there will only be more and more people missing there." β
Yi Yi said, "Who to send? We don't have anyone around us who can be trusted." β
Mei Xiao thought for a while, "I'll go in person, and after the elders have completely dismantled my Gu, I'll set off." β
Yi Yi said worriedly, "Your Gu has just been resolved, and your body has not yet recovered, how can you go?"
Mei Xiao frowned, and spread her hands helplessly, "There are masters of poison everywhere in the Dian Kingdom, and the little uncle is experienced, and he can barely break through, but Yang Xian doesn't have the slightest means to avoid drugs, neither of them can go, you have to deal with all kinds of news in the sect, and you have to practice, so naturally you can't go, and the only one who meets the requirements is me." β
Yi Yi looked at Mei Xiao steadily, "Let me go with you!"
Mei Xiao also looked at Yi Yi, and couldn't help but think of the time when the two first met, that day, the two of them were on the road, one in front of the other, Yi Yi also looked at Mei Xiao with this kind of serious eyes, and said, "Walk with you for a while." β
At every stage of life, having someone with you, whether it's the same person or not, is a happy thing.
Mei Xiao shook her head and said gently, "No need, I can do it myself." β
The two sat here for a long time, and neither of them spoke. The sun was slanting in the west, and the fiery clouds were all over the sky, dyeing the entire heaven and earth into a golden red, and an ordinary disciple of the Dian Ying Valley came into the courtyard that had been silent for a long time, and he gave Yi Yi a deep salute, "Senior sister, there is a person outside the valley, who said that he was coming in to find you." β
Yi Yi got up from the comfortable recliner, stretched his waist and sighed secretly that Mei Xiao would really enjoy it, and then looked at the little disciple who came in to pass the word, "Did he say who it was?
The little disciple retracted his stunned gaze and answered Yi Yi honestly, "He is a monk, his name is Mingkong, and he said that he has already passed the selection. β
Yi Yi's eyes lit up, "Quickly call him in and bring him here directly!"
The little disciple agreed and retreated.
After Mei Xiao waited for the disciple to retreat, he asked, "Mingkong has already participated in the selection of the Dian Eagle Valley?"
Yi Yi said, "Yes, if he hadn't been a monk at the beginning, I think many female disciples in the valley would want to marry him." β
Mei Xiao was a little surprised, "What did Mingkong do?"
Yi Yi didn't answer, but asked Mei Xiao, "Do you believe in demons?"
Mei Xiao thought about it, for Mei Xiao in the past, he would never believe in this kind of strange power, but since he saw the green snake, Mei Xiao believed it, because the various manifestations of the green snake are no different from the legendary demon.
Mei Xiao nodded and said seriously, "Believe!"
Yi Yi smiled, "That's easy to say, listen to it......"
At the beginning, Mingkong came out of the Buddha land to practice, he was born with wisdom roots, Buddhism practiced quickly, only a teenager, he was able to debate with the great monks of the Buddha land, but after all, young people have experienced less, although the state of mind is clear, but that can only be called simple, and can not have the kind of great enlightenment after going through the world. Therefore, when he was a teenager, he went out to experience and practice in order to seek the path of Buddhahood.
On that day, he met a beautiful woman when he was training in the Dian Kingdom, and the beauty lured him to break the vows, but he did not succeed. The beauty was unwilling and tried every means to lure him to take the bait, but Mingkong was unmoved.
In the end, the beauty revealed her true face, it was actually a snake demon who had practiced for thousands of years, originally wanted to absorb the essence of Mingkong, but repeatedly failed, and wanted to eat Mingkong in anger, Mingkong used Buddhism to influence the snake demon, but it had no effect, the snake demon left Mingkong's side and hid.
But Mingkong didn't want the snake demon to continue to cause trouble in the world, he chased the snake demon to the Eagle Valley, and the snake demon entered the forest in the Eagle Valley, but Mingkong was blocked at the mouth of the Eagle Valley and was not allowed to enter.
But Mingkong still didn't give up, he passed the selection of Dianying Valley, it is said that his way of passing the selection is extremely special, he never takes the initiative to attack, but other people's poison techniques can't hurt him, they all wait until others are counterattacked, or take the initiative to admit defeat when they are tired.
In this way, Mingkong entered the Dian Eagle Valley, found the snake demon, and blocked the snake demon in a corner of the Dian Eagle Valley.
He didn't have the intention of killing the snake demon, he just wanted to use Buddhism to transform the snake demon and let her achieve positive results as soon as possible, instead of going further and further on the evil path of absorbing people's essence. But the snake demon didn't appreciate it, and committed suicide just as Mingkong was about to transform her.
Mingkong blamed himself very much, and recited the sutra for three days and three nights while holding the corpse of the snake demon, and in those three days, the grass and trees in the entire Dianying Valley grew three inches taller.
Three days later, the entire Dian Eagle Valley saw a serpentine white light flying into the sky from Mingkong's arms, and Mingkong finally succeeded.
"Many people saw this scene at the beginning," Yi Yi said, "Therefore, Mingkong is very well-known among our generation of disciples." β
Mei Xiao said, "Is he the same as me?"
Yi Yi was stunned, "It seems to be oh, I haven't paid attention to it before." β
Mei Xiao sighed lightly, "At such a young age, it is really rare that the cultivation of Buddhism has reached such a level. β
Yi Yi asked, "Do you still know the Dharma?"
Mei Xiao was also stunned for a long time, and for some reason, this sentence blurted out, as if something that had existed in the blood for a long, long time suddenly opened, and then immediately closed it.
Mei Xiao continued to think about the coincidence between Mingkong and herself, and her eyes gradually became solemn, if this is really the case, then what will she have to do with the Buddha Land?
As soon as Yi Yi and Mei Xiao finished talking, the little disciple led Mingkong in from the door, "Senior sister, Master Mingkong brought it." β
As he spoke, the little disciple retreated.
Mingkong stepped forward, clasped his hands together at Mei Xiao and Yi Yi, and bowed deeply, "Master Mei, Lord Yishi, don't come unharmed." β
is still so upright and solemn, kind and kind-eyed, meticulous, and everywhere reveals the temperament that a Buddhist monk should have.
Yi Yi beckoned Mingkong to sit down and asked, "Why did you come to us?"
Mingkong's expression also became serious, and he solemnly spit out three words, "Dark Death Pavilion." β
