Let's talk about Xuan Zhen.

Since Xuan Zhen set up a bridge to reunite Pudu and Jiyuan by chance, he continued to go south with the monks and arrived at Yingtianfu.

It is the temple fair of the Dragon Boat Festival, the singing and dancing are leveled, the people are overcrowded, the street is full of vendors, the zongzi are fragrant, the dazzling array is full of eyes, and it is not lively.

There are also dragon boat races, lantern rides, stilt walking, lion dances, acrobatics, a lively scene.

The women wore flowers, the men wore jade trees, and the children also wore new red clothes, jumping and laughing with candy men in their hands.

When the festival arrives, the people seem to have nothing to do with the rivers and lakes and the world of strife, and enjoy this happy world, just like the peach blossom realm in the world.

Maybe this kind of happy world is the infinite state that people pursue, maybe this kind of time is just a temporary illusion of happiness in reality, maybe such a gathering is just to deliberately forget the troubles of a lifetime.

No matter what, you can't escape the fetters of fate, and you can overcome the fetters if you are strong enough, just like constantly overcoming the various levels of fate until the peak of life.

A group of monks shuttled through the crowd, incompatible with this world, as if a group of Buddhas from outside the world were inspecting the people, and seeing such a happy scene in the world, they couldn't help but want to fall into the world and not want to go back.

Indeed, there are many monks who are attracted by the bustling shopping streets, rich in colors, and countless exquisite goods.

The joyful mood of people at Goldman Sachs and the cheerfulness of the game attracted some people to stop and even participate.

Maybe you have faith, you have principles, you have goals, but under the temptation of the 'devil' and your 'comfortable' ambition, you will deviate from your original goals, principles, and even beliefs, and eventually fall into the trap of 'gentleness' and forget your original intention.

Some of the younger monks in the Eighteen Arhats forgot their mission when they saw the lively scene, and even dispersed.

They weave through the crowds of vendors, love a lot of gadgets, and salivate over a lot of food.

I don't even think about the hustle and bustle of the 'world'. The three of Rings, Voids, and Floaters have long since separated from the team and disappeared.

Xuji had no choice but to take everyone away from the downtown and come to a deserted place in the side alley.

He said to everyone: "Don't forget the purpose of our practice this time, if we are confused by this world, then what is there to talk about practice, what is Zen teaching, not to mention Mahayana Buddhism." ”

"We are the beacons beyond the Three Realms, the guides to Elysium in the stubborn world, and the preachers of enlightenment. ”

"If we all lose ourselves and immerse ourselves in this boring bustle, wouldn't it be a disgrace to Shaolin, a disgrace to the Buddha, and a laugh for the world. ”

Xuji paused and looked at the nods of the people, silent silence, looking around.

He said firmly: "Yexin, Luona, and Iwahara, the three of you will work together, no matter what, find the three of Jiese, Xuwei and Fukai before tonight, and take them to the Dragon Star Gate twenty miles outside the northern city." ”

"Shaolin Temple has some friendship with Longxingmen, and I will spend the night there tonight, no matter what the result of the search is, I will come back before the latest time. ”

After the three of them agreed, they prepared to go to find it on their own.

At this time, Xuan Zhen stood up and said, "Senior Brother Xuji, Xuan Zhen is willing to go and find it together." ”

"I think there are a lot of streets and alleys in Tianfu, and there are many people and things, I'm afraid that the three of them won't be able to find these streets and alleys before the time, and one more person will go to one more person, so the chance of finding it is higher, maybe you don't have to go back so late when you arrive. ”

Xuji thought for a moment and said: "It's okay, let's go with us, look for it separately, you set a time and place for your own meeting, and then you will come back together, and you can't beat the dog with meat buns and never return!"

The four of them left amid the sound of laughter.

Xuan Zhen said that he was going to look for the three senior brothers, but in fact, he couldn't hold back his curiosity about this bustling city, and he wanted to see all kinds of strange tricks.

After leaving, he swaggered towards the downtown area, perhaps the three brothers were just as curious about this place as they were.

How can I bother to find a few senior brothers, one person swaggering on the street, looking left and right, and looking, it's just a novelty, don't buy or ask.

Looking very chic, walking and walking, I suddenly saw a shop of Liao's weapons, but this shop is different from others, the entrance hall is deserted, unpopular, cold, and people dare not approach.

I was suddenly curious and wanted to go in and find out. It is said that Liao's weapons are a family of weapons, and there are all kinds of weapons in eighteen kinds, and it is the most famous weapon shop on the rivers and lakes.

In addition, the "Liao's White Hit List" is also very prestigious in the rivers and lakes.

Hyun Zhen entered the store, and after looking around, it didn't look like an arms shop, but a small tea room, and the room was not big.

In the middle is a portrait of a large figure in ink, only to see this person is radiant, with an ethereal smoke, standing with his hands behind his back, and everyone is demeanor.

I was thinking that this person must be a person, and I didn't know who it was, and I was thinking about it.

At this time, there was a person who was already behind the screen, looking at this monk with a radiant and extraordinary temperament, and was quite interested, and saw the monk looking at the portrait of his father.

Then he smiled and said as he walked out, "This is my father, Liao Zhi'an." ”

Xuan Zhen followed the sound and walked out of a young man, dressed in blue, standing with his bare hands, dressed very flamboyantly, but elegant in conversation, looking like a merry boy.

Then he spoke: "What kind of weapon do you want to see, this master?"

Xuan Zhen saluted and said: "Amitabha, the donor is polite, the monks are not interested in weapons, they happened to pass by, and they walked in, but they didn't expect that there was no weapon after they came in, why is the name of the store called Liao's weapon?"

The young man smiled slightly and replied, "It seems that the master doesn't know much about Liao's weapons, and he is under Liao Bufan." ”

"Fortunately, poor monk Xuanzhen. ”

"Fortunately, the most famous blacksmith shop on the rivers and lakes is the Lin family's craftsman Lin Weapons and Liao Zhi'an Liao's weapons"

"Lin's weapons are only for the royal service, and Liao's weapons are the most famous weapons shop on the rivers and lakes today, and mainstream factions such as Jade Girl, Zhenwu, Shenhu Gang, Longxingmen, and Wuyue faction have customized heirloom weapons in Liao's family. ”

"If you want to customize weapons in the Liao family, you need to pass three levels before you can reserve weapons, otherwise you will not be accepted, which is why we don't have a weapon here. ”

"I see, dare to ask which three levels need to be passed?"

Liao Bufan expected Xuan Zhen to ask from this, and replied unhurriedly: "Okay, master, please take a seat." After the two of them sat down, someone brought tea.

continued: "These three levels are the rules set by the ancestors, this weapon is sexless, but where it is used, it is fierce, and it is beyond the control of the maker, in order to make each artifact as suitable as possible for its owner, only three levels are set up;"

"Fate is the first level. ”

"Challenging the white hit list is the second level. ”

"Blood Condensation Quenching is the third level!"

Xuan Zhen listened attentively and replied: "What the donor said is extremely true, this is also the reason why the monks don't like weapons, and if they use it, they will be fierce. It's just that these three levels are very peculiar, I don't know how to solve them?"

"Stay in detail, the edge is the first level, the so-called edge is not the relationship with the Liao family, but the relationship with the original instrument. ”

"The Liao family has collected strange weapons and treasures from all over the world, which is called the original weapon. ”

"Some of these original artifacts come from things outside the sky, some come from the deep sea desperate realm, some come from deep mountains and secret caves, and even legend says that some come from the realm of gods or gods and demons, these objects may not be seen once in several lifetimes. ”

"The original vessels are divided into nine classes, namely, heaven, earth, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, gods, and demons. ”

"In short, the seeker needs to pass the edge first, nine kinds of veins, one vein in the edge, a thousand kinds of original instruments, and one device in the edge. ”

"If you want to ask for it, it's not you who pick the original device, but the original device that picks you. After speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank himself, Xuan Zhen listened to what he said is indeed unheard of, but it is reasonable, mysterious and extraordinary, I really want to ask for one, and see what kind of utensils I have a relationship with.

According to the curiosity in his heart, he said: "Just listening to this first level, it is so mysterious, it seems that to get a artifact of your own may be like the words of Buddhism, first there is fate, and then there is cause and effect." ”

Liao Bufan smiled slightly and said: "That's true, the instrument is sexless, once the fate is determined, it will follow the nature of the person who makes it, and the cause and effect of good and evil are all fate." ”

"Ask the donor how to solve this second level?"

"The second level is to challenge the white list, maybe the master will be curious, this Liao family is in the name of selling weapons, why do they want to set up a white list, it has nothing to do with weapons. ”

"There are two layers of mystery here. One of them did not deliberately set up a white fight list back then, but the ancestor proposed that he wanted the Liao family to build a weapon, and he needed to challenge a few friends in the rivers and lakes, and several friends readily agreed, which was a bit of a continuation. ”

"The white list is not too deliberately set, and it is also a thin noodle for the Liao family on the rivers and lakes, an unwritten convention, which not only promotes communication and understanding between sects, but also a good contract for martial arts competition. ”

After taking a sip of tea, he continued: "This second layer of mystery, the instrument is like a tiger with wings, although it is more powerful, but after all, the instrument is something outside the body, and the human body, human nature, and human heart are the fundamental. ”

"The fundamental Sheng has the ability to make the weapon, and the fundamental solid can better exert the power of the instrument, and furthermore, I don't want to destroy the weapon of my Liao family in the hands of people who don't use it well, let alone ruin the reputation of my Liao family. ”

"If you want to have a fateful weapon, you only need to challenge anyone in the white hit list we announced, there is no time limit, when the challenge is successful, and when to create an exclusive weapon. ”

"What the donor said is not only to find a more suitable person for the weapon, but also to make the person more solid, and to make the Liao weapon more famous, it can be said that it is a lot of success, wonderful!" Xuan Zhen was also full of praise for this.

"Haha, what my father thinks and does has its own inner truth, I just want to let this heirloom play its strongest role and find the most suitable person for me. ”

"Ling Zun is also well-intentioned. I don't know how this white hit list is ranked?"

"The master is polite, today is also with the master, seeing that the master is extraordinary, he must be a hero among the people, and he is pouring his bags to tell him, you don't have to be polite. ”

said that he was in high spirits, and then said: "The white fight list is ranked according to the level of martial arts, there is no other threshold, and there are only twenty places. ”

"The first in line is Wang Yin, the owner of the Guigu Valley who rarely appears on the rivers and lakes, 'Xuan Xian Miaoren';"

"The second is the lord of the Dizang Mansion 'Emperor of the Nine Directions' Xuanyuan Jiuzang;"

"The third jade girl in charge" Yu Jizi "Yu Lingqing;"

"The second is the Candle Dragon Sect Leader's 'Dragon Incarnation' Long Yuan;"

"The head of the True Martial Sect 'Mu Yuan Daoren' Yang Muyuan;"

"Ryukyu King Shang Ning Detective;"

"Converted to Taoism and lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain, Toei Ren Chitetsu Shuichiro;"

"Tatar patriarch 'steppe king' Lin Dan Khan;"

"The leader of the Four Music Sect 'Immortal Cloud Bodhisattva' is in the sky;"

"Dragon Star Gate 'Ghost Dragon Yang' Long Yaojun;"

"Dragon Star Gate Master 'Flying Dragon Son' Long Yaotian;"

"The Golden Serpent Society's Chief Helmsman, 'Blue-Faced Snake King' Gulesang;"

"Eagle Eagle Palace Palace Master 'Eagle Spirit King' Kuragi Dui;"

"Urur, the Tatar 'God of War';"

"The leader of the Divine Tiger Gang, 'Tu Man' Tu Long;"

"'Linggong' Hui Ling;"

"Broken Intestine Monk;"

"The head of the Wuyue faction 'Baiyi Guan Mountain' Guan Shanyue;"

"One of the four protectors of the Candle Dragon Sect, 'Wind Without Shadow' Situ Lightning;"

"Finally, there is the giant of the Western Regions, the protector of the North Immortal Gate of the Four Music Sect 'Chengxi Paul'. ”

After listening to Liao Bufan's patient explanation, Xuan Zhen was also shocked in his heart: "This second level is also difficult, and it is even more difficult to defeat any of them than to ascend to the sky." ”

"No, this martial art is either diligent day by day, until the realm, or one day of enlightenment, straight to the realm, or the heavenly machine, straight to the realm, as long as there is the obsession of pursuit, there is hope to come. ”

"The poor monk has been taught, and the benefactor has this understanding at a young age, and he admires and admires it. ”

The master smiled, but he had more contact with the masters, saw more, and heard more. ”

"Masters have their own superiority, and it is a blessing that the donor can talk to and be taught by many masters. It's just that if the challenge is successful, will the ranking of the white list also be adjusted?"

Liao Bufan smiled and said: "This white hit list is both true and false, and it is also true, it is adjusted every three years, limited to twenty, and the ranking is only for reference, I don't want the white list to become a ranking for people in the rivers and lakes to compete for fame and fortune." ”

"Besides, rules are dead, people are alive, if there is a recommendation from the twenty masters on the white list, it is not impossible to build, we are open to business. ”

"Amitabha, with good intentions. If you pass the second level, what will happen to the third level?"

Liao Bufan didn't speak, but got up and said, "The master sits for a while, stays down and takes an object, and the master will know it at a glance." ”

After a while, Liao Bufan opened the curtain and came in, holding a black gold iron box in his hand, opened the iron box and presented it to Xuan Zhen, Xuan Zhen took a closer look, and exclaimed: "Could it be that this is the legendary Yin and Yang Gathering Gong Stone?"

"The master is well-informed, the Yin and Yang Jugong Stone is taken from the sky and the flying fall is made, there are three pairs on the rivers and lakes, I heard that a pair is in the Tibetan Mansion, a pair is in the Shaolin Temple Tibetan Scripture Pavilion. ”

"What the donor said is true, the poor monk once heard Master Jueyuan say that this Yin and Yang Gong Gathering Stone has the ability to transmit the power and transfer the law, and it is a treasure to be passed down to the world, I don't know what is the relationship between this Yin and Yang Gong Gathering Stone and this blood condensation and quenching?

"The master is really wise, you can see it at a glance. This Yin Yang Gathering Gong Stone is actually taken from the same Flying Meteor, but in the difference, the place where this Yang Stone was collected is in the land of fire and sulfur in the East China Sea;

"The collection place of this Yin Stone is in the extremely cold land of the Rakshasa Country, and this kind of meteorite is born with the ability to absorb essence, and if it accompanies it for a long time, it will run out of essence and die. ”

"Therefore, it is not advisable to play for a long time, and it must be sealed in a lead-filled box. ”

Xuan Zhen held the Jugong Stone in his hand, it was very heavy, and he felt a trace of the power of exhaustion, attached to his hand, as if there were countless tentacles to penetrate deep into the body, he couldn't resist, he didn't dare to take more, and gently put it back into the lead box.

Liao Bufan continued: "Although this Gong Gathering Stone has a wonderful method of transmitting gong, but generally does not dare to use it easily, if the two of them practice too much difference in true qi, too much difference in physique, it is extremely difficult to succeed, once it is not very good, it will fall into a catastrophe, and the meridians will be destroyed and die." ”

"But it is used to refine the exclusive artifact, it has its wonderful use, first drop the essence blood into the Gathering Stone, wait for all the inhalation, and then pass in all the True Qi, until the vast void is weak and stop, and finally merge the other Gathering Stone, it will force out all the Essence True Qi in the Gathering Stone, flow into the artifact refining, and finally become an artifact. ”

"Listening to the donor, this third level is simple. ”

"No, this third level is the most difficult, in the process of transmitting gong, if there is a misoperation when the true qi is exhausted, if you are not careful, you will hurt the divine element in the body, once you hurt the divine element, even if you have an artifact, it is also a sick weapon, and the sick weapon will continue to regurgitate until the divine element in the body is exhausted. Because after damaging the Divine Element, the artifact will override the owner of the weapon, and become the master of the owner, and let it be slaughtered. ”

"I see, if you want to get a heirloom artifact that truly belongs to you, it is like cutting your skin, and it is indeed not easy. It seems that the poor monk has no chance in this life. ”

"Since the master is in Shaolin, he has no fate, but the rivers and lakes are changing rapidly, and it doesn't matter if there is a fate or not, only God has the final say. ”

"Haha, what the donor said is extremely true. Listening to the words of the donor today, let the poor monk open his eyes, and deeply feel that the rivers and lakes are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers, broad and profound, thank you for the guidance of the donor. ”

"The master is polite, the Liao family is also very particular about fate, this fate has its own destiny to guide, today's fate, is the cause, and there will be consequences in the future. ”

"I hope that as the donor said, Xuan Zhen has a lot of disturbances today, and there will be a period in the future. ”

"There will be a period later. After saying that, Xuan Zhen retired by himself.

Just as Xuan Zhen had just left, Liao Bufan suddenly felt that the Gathering Gong Stone vibrated slightly, could it be caused by inhaling Master Xuanzhen's true qi just now.

I didn't think much about it, I quickly brought the box to the edge of the store, the closer I got, the more powerful the vibration, and I looked at the original carefully, and there was an object in the innermost inconspicuous corner that shone slightly.

Walk in and see, it is the "Tian" word name of the "Tianwai Xuanshi", this Xuanshi is different from the general stone, black as day, bright as a mirror, gathered into a stone, scattered into powder.

The stone can absorb iron, can absorb ci stone, the force is like a crossbow, it needs to be placed in the lead device and lose suction;

The powder is scattered like a needle, which can repel and attract thousands of changes, and the form is thousands.

Due to the difference in internal temperature or environment, it will turn into stone and powder, which is extremely mysterious.

Liao Bufan nodded slightly after reading it, and thought in his heart, this thousand-year-old useless Xuanshi actually has people who cherish fate, and it seems that this object belongs to him.
