Chapter 112: Escape
When the darkness in front of them dissipated, Li Xuandu and the three found themselves in a cylindrical cave, which was the corpse raising place they had passed before.
It is said that it is still the blessing of the Soap Pavilion Sect, when the construction of this corpse raising place, the Soap Pavilion Sect attaches great importance to it, and it is reinforced with various talismans in this place, in the huge earthquake just now, although most of the cliff caves have been destroyed, but the cylindrical cave as the main body is still barely maintained, but after the effectiveness of the talisman is lost, this place will also completely collapse.
There are four exits here, corresponding to the east, west, south and north directions, the exit when the group came is located in the north, the exit to the Eternal Life Palace is located in the west, the exit of the old man in Tibet is located in the south, at this time the exit in the west and north directions has completely collapsed, and the way is blocked by the boulder, leaving only the exits in the east and south directions is still safe and sound.
Li Xuandu took out a portable night lamp from the "eighteenth floor", which was of great use like the fire copper tripod used to cook wine before, but it was extremely convenient when he walked outside. This night light is no different from an ordinary oil lamp, but the illuminated thing is not a candle, but a valuable luminous pearl, exuding a faint glow, not bright, but with the night vision ability of the three people, it is enough.
Li Xuandu held the night light and asked, "Which way should we go?"
Yan Feiqing thought for a moment and said, "The old man came here from the passage in the south, so the passage in the south is very likely to lead directly to the mountain gate of the Soap Pavilion Sect. ”
Su Yuncheng nodded in agreement: "I also think it's better to go east." ”
Li Xuandu said: "Then go east, I will walk in front, Brother Xuanji will walk in the middle, and the back of the palace will be in the back." ”
Yan Feiqing smiled bitterly: "It's not like this, although Poor Dao is from a Fang Shi, he is not so delicate." ”
Su Yuncheng said: "It really doesn't have to be like this, even if there are any ambushes in this passage, they have already escaped at this time, as for the mechanism and other things, under the violent vibration just now, most of them will also fail, don't worry too much." ”
Li Xuan didn't refute it, and he was as good as a stream.
The three of them walked into the passage together, which was made of huge stones on all sides, and should have been extremely strong, but by this time there were many cracks in the walls, and it might not be long before they were completely destroyed.
However, it may have been a bittersweet end, and the three of them finally did not encounter any twists and turns along the way, and they were safe and sound. It's just that this passage is a little unexpectedly long, about more than ten miles, the passage has completely returned to normal, and there are no longer those shocking cracks, which shows that they have walked out of the range affected by the Immortal Palace Rune Array, but this passage is still endless, fortunately, you can feel the extremely subtle flow of breath, which can prove that this passage is not a dead end.
The three of them walked side by side in the passage, Yan Feiqing was in the middle, Li Xuandu was on the left, and Su Yuncheng was on the right.
After experiencing a life-and-death battle, the relationship between the three of them is obviously much closer, and the words are no longer one-of-a-kind, and there are even idle gossips that have nothing to do with the general trend of the rivers and lakes.
For example, the marriage of Yan Feiqing and Su Yunming. It is roughly set after the Daoist Ceremony, and when the time comes, with the east wind of the Daoist Ceremony, as well as the face of the Zhengyi Sect and the Cihang Sect, all those who have heads and faces in the rivers and lakes will inevitably join in the fun, and it will be another grand event in the rivers and lakes.
"Brother Xuanji, you were born in a family of Yan, although you went up the mountain to learn the Tao, but your parents are still there, after getting married, have you ever thought about having children, not only to light an incense for Yanmen, but also to let the two elders enjoy the joy of teasing their grandchildren. ”
"Brother Zifu...... This ......"
In this matter, Yan Feiqing was a little embarrassed, and she was reluctant to speak, but it was Su Yuncheng, a woman, whose face was as usual, and she did not look half ashamed. But it's really a bit unusual, a former first person on the Shaoxuan List and a current first person on the Shaoxuan List, not to mention their identities, they are all high-spirited young people, and it seems that they shouldn't talk about the topic of future generations, so they should talk about some cultivation and insights, or give some pointers, and it is best to play two more sentences, this is the style that makes countless people in the rivers and lakes worship and obey as soon as they hear it.
"Brother Xuanji doesn't have to shy away from it, this is a matter of heaven and humanity. If it is really as they preach, everyone believes in Buddhism and becomes a monk, and does not marry a wife, and after a few decades, hundreds of years, we will not be extinct? But if only a small number of people can believe in Buddhism and become monks, then the Mahayana Buddhism they preach is nonsense, and all sentient beings are deceitful, and it is no wonder that the successive dynasties have destroyed the Buddha three times, not without a reason. ”
Zifu's words are reasonable. Su Yuncheng said: "Buddhism is divided into Hinayana and Mahayana, Hinayana seeks its own perfection, Mahayana seeks to purify sentient beings, similar to Confucianism's solitary self-benevolence and helping the world, my Cihang Sect is Hinayana Buddhism, and Jing Zen Buddhism is Mahayana Buddhism, so Jing Zen Buddhism often takes advantage of this to demean my Cihang Sect, but Jing Zen Buddhism has been established for more than 1,000 years, and they have not seen a few people in the world, but it is a Confucian lineage, and it has truly helped the world. ”
Li Xuandu was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that this Fairy Su, who was born in a Buddhist family, would agree with his point of view.
At this time, Yan Feiqing also said: "Cultivating oneself is the way of cultivation, and leaving home is leaving home, not being homeless, from this point of view, Buddhism is indeed biased." ”
This is involved in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, but now it is not a great canon of Taoism, there is no need to distinguish between superiors and inferiors, the three of them are just talking about their own opinions.
Li Xuandu was born in Taoism, and later turned to Confucianism, for the Buddhist family who does not produce but the rich temple monks naturally have no good impression, for the king of a country, the faith is nothing more than to seek the elixir, just to break the wealth, but if you believe in Buddhism, that is the loose luck, the monk is homeless, homeless how to come to the country and the world, and oppose killing, if not killing, how can the army have sharpness, and how to protect the family and defend the country. The temple does not pay taxes, so it wantonly annexes the fields, and uses the blood and sweat of countless tenants to support the monks to cultivate the Buddha, which is worse than those who "have nothing to do and talk about their hearts, and the stagnant water is too cold in danger".
Yan Feiqing is a pure Taoist person, needless to say, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has been going on for a long time, and it is destined to be a confused account that cannot be calculated.
As for Su Yuncheng, she was born in the Hinayana lineage of Cihang Sect, cultivating herself but not leaving home, and doing Mahayana things, entering the red dust, with the ambition of helping the world and saving the people, and having the posture of the unity of Confucianism, on the other hand, the Mahayana lineage of Jing Zen Buddhism, practicing Mahayana Buddhism, but now she is closed to the mountain and the temple, staying at home, I really don't know how all beings in this world want to be Pudu, so she did not refute the two.
So between the words, the three of them had a lot of derogatory connotations about the Jing Zen sect, which is known as the ancestral court of Buddhism.
Of course, Buddhism can stand side by side with Confucianism and Taoism in the three religions, and Jing Zen Buddhism can be called the ancestral court of Buddhism, naturally has its own uniqueness, if there is a Jing Zen monk here, it must be able to make witty words, the three of them are speechless, but unfortunately at this time there is not even a small novice, naturally no one speaks for Jing Zen Buddhism.
As they spoke, the passage under the feet of the three of them began to turn inclined upward, and after walking upwards for hundreds of feet, this long passage finally came to an end.
Leaving the passage, there is a naturally formed cave, without too many traces of artificial excavation, and there are rugged rocks everywhere. After walking out of the cave for a while, Li Xuandu suddenly stopped and said, "There is the sound of water." ”
Su Yuncheng and Yan Feiqing glanced at each other, both breathing a sigh of relief, since there was the sound of water, it would probably not be in the mountain gate of the Soap Pavilion Sect, that is to say, after they had experienced so many hardships, they were finally out of danger.
When they set out from Baigu Town, I am afraid no one thought that they would be almost buried alive in the ground.
A little further on, as expected, you can faintly hear the sound of water pouring down, and the sound gets louder and louder, and finally you can feel the warm and moist water vapor in the air.
Su Yuncheng looked at the faint light at the end of the cave, vaguely guessed that it should be the exit, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "I can see the moon when the clouds open, and I finally came out." ”
Li Xuandu also put his mind at ease and said with emotion: "The old ghost of the old man is shrewd, and he used the 'Yin Yang Gate' to leave before the talisman array was opened, and almost buried us all here. If I am promoted to the realm of heaven and earth one day, I have to ask this old ghost for a sword. ”
Yan Feiqing said with a smile: "This sentence is a bit like the meaning of the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal back then. ”
