Wuxu, Duoji, Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bowen, Xuanjizi, the five of them looked at each other and smiled in the lotus lantern.

Many things in the past seem to have vanished as they lead to the new world, and they are not worth mentioning, or they don't want to talk about anymore, at least for the moment.

Maybe it's because of the protection of the lotus lantern, the danger of breaking the boundary in the legend, everyone doesn't feel too much, just a little dizzy, just like a few old friends who have drunk wine all their lives.

But this feeling of not having too many feelings didn't last long, and the Nine Leaves Green Lotus Lantern stopped. With a loud bang, the lotus lantern grazed a piece of light in the air, and then a vibrant forest, with a primordial aura, entered the consciousness of everyone.

The trees are green, thick and tall, and their branches and foliage cover the sky. Unknown birds, with bright feathers, fly lightly. A beast with smooth fur let out a low whining sound, jumping from tree to tree, and the moss on the soles of its feet fell lightly. Snakes, walking on the ground, thick fallen leaves, rustling. Overhead, many stars, faintly visible, bright and soft light, through the shade of the trees, hang down in this silence. The slightly moist air, filled with pure aura, is like a sobered red wine, which is intoxicating.

Wuxu and the others cautiously came out of the lotus lamp, closed their eyes silently, breathed deeply, and felt quietly. After a while, the five of them came back to their senses, and each of them carefully observed their surroundings.

This forest is very large, and the divine sense of the five people is not enough to probe the end, and not a single monk, not even a mortal, has been found. Although Wuxu could bless his divine consciousness with the nine-leaf blue lotus lamp, he was afraid that the movement would be too big, so he simply put away the lotus lantern and said with a smile, "It is said that when you go to a place where there are as many monks as mortals, you can't put your divine sense at will, otherwise it will look very frivolous and impolite, so we might as well choose a direction and fly over slowly." ”

Who knew that these four people showed hesitation on their faces. After a while, it was Dorjee who came out first, clasped his hands at everyone and said, "I have received a summons from the sect, so I have to hurry over to meet us." Fellow travelers, don't leave it here, there will be a period later. After speaking, he glanced at Wuxu, turned to the west, and drifted away.

Wu Xu's expression was empty, and he wanted to chase after him, but he couldn't lift his feet, so he had to look at the backs of the multi-level and shouted, "Senior brother, but you are going to the Aurora Sect?"

"Yes!" Dorjee finished speaking, and his back had disappeared into the forest mist.

Here, Zhu Yuanzhang saw Duoji leaving, looked at Liu Bowen and Xuanjizi, and then said to Wuxu, "Senior brother, Yuanzhang also received a summons from Fairy Ma, and Fairy Ma specially instructed me to invite Senior Brother to go to Confucianism Haoran Academy together. ”

Wuxu was stunned, but his heart was up and down. If it comes to the outer heavens, Wuxu still wants to go to the Aurora Sect of Buddhism the most, but just before Dorjee left, he didn't call himself; But is Confucianism really suitable for a person like himself who cultivates Buddhism? But I can't go to the Aurora Sect, and I can't go to Haoran Academy, so I want to go to the Daomen? I can't enter the Demon Dao, or join the demon cultivation or the ghost cultivation, right? Or do a casual cultivation?

Thinking of this, Wuxu asked Zhu Yuanzhang, "Among the Confucian sects, can you also practice Buddhism?"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled bitterly, "Theoretically, Haoran Academy should also have Buddhist classics, but I don't know the details." He hesitated for a moment, and then said to Wuxu, "Where there are people, there are strife, and this day is no exception." For those of us who are new to the school, it is better to find a sect first. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said this very truthfully, and it is also the truth. Wuxu also thought about it seriously.

Liu Bowen and Xuan Jizi didn't interject, only the old god stood aside.

Zhu Yuanzhang waited for a while, and when he saw that Wuxu was still in a pensive state, he couldn't help but sigh, and began to slowly take off the golden dragon robe, held his hands on his chest and glanced at it, then rubbed his palms together, and sprinkled a piece of golden dust between his fingers.

Wuxu saw it in his eyes, but he was still thinking about it in his heart, but on the surface, he said, "I really admire my senior brother for being able to give up the dignity of the founding emperor and leave all his authority and glory." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled faintly, "If you can be an immortal, who wants to be an emperor?" Besides, since you are in this heaven, if you are still wearing this dragon robe, wouldn't it make people laugh and make trouble for yourself." His words have some meaning, how can he not understand it.

But Wu Xuan thought of another layer, this heaven and the sky, could it be that the Aurora Sect, a sect of cultivating Buddhism, would not succeed? Thinking like this, he flicked his monk's robe with his hand, and smiled at Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bowen, and Xuanjizi, "My monk's robe, but now I can't take it off." If you take it off, you will come and go without worry. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang saw Wuxu say this, and knew that he could not persuade him, so he had to smile bitterly again, and said to Wuxu, as well as Liu Bowen and Xuanjizi, "Senior brother, Liu Zhenren, Tong Zhenren, there will be a period later." With that, he lifted his steps and left.

After Zhu Yuanzhang walked for a while, Liu Bowen joked with a smile, "Master Wuxu, your junior brother is a good intention, does the master really not consider it? Or consider following me into the Taoist Gate, learn from that Lu Zhenren, and double cultivate Buddhism and Taoism." ”

Wuxu smiled slightly, "The two fellow Daoists, they must have also received the summons." ”

Xuan Jizi nodded and said in a deep voice, "We also received an order to recruit you." But we stayed because we had other plans. As he spoke, he looked at Liu Bowen, "Brother Qingtian, worship under the Tianjizi Gate, and the technique of derivation will go to the next level, so it's up to Brother Qingtian to come up." ”

Oh? Liu Bowen, didn't you go to Haoran Peak originally? No wonder you didn't leave with Zhu Yuanzhang just now. Unexpectedly, he worshiped under the Tianjizi Gate of Longhu Mountain again. Wuxu looked at Liu Bowen quite playfully, and couldn't help but recall that in the world before, Liu Bowen was in Longhu Mountain, setting up an altar to stop Guru Padmasambhava, but at that time, the situation was dangerous and complicated, and he didn't notice this detail.

Under the gaze of Wuxu and Xuanjizi, Liu Bowen was also a little embarrassed, but he quickly regained his composure, swept the dust in his hand slightly, and said calmly, "At the beginning, the big array was running, and I and Xuanji Daoist friends were desperate to survive, and the reason why I dared to fly into the passage alone and suffer from the force of the world was that it was derived before, and the nobles helped each other, and I died for a lifetime, and I didn't expect that I should be here with Wuxu." The lotus lantern just came out, and on a whim, I deduced it again, but I only came to the conclusion that there was a hidden killing machine in the outer sky this day, and we would die here at any time. Liu Bowen paused, and suddenly a hint of color flashed in his eyes, "Although it is not real, it seems to also include you, the Enlightened Daoist Friend." ”

Wuxu nodded, "It's not a secret, I also have a little bit of a sense of darkness, this trip to the sky is quite difficult." But I don't know, what do the two Taoist friends have to say?"

Xuan Jizi suddenly spoke, "Master Ba Sipa, before Master Yuanfa died, he was captured and imprisoned. If Brother Qingtian and I expected it to be right, the Aurora Sect of Buddhism will definitely send you a message to Senior Brother Na Duoji, ordering him to kill you no matter what, and go back with the Nine-Leaf Qinglian Lantern. ”

After Xuan Jizi finished speaking, Liu Bowen sighed again, "Presumably, the Enlightenment Void Daoist also knows that some True Spirit Great Cultivators in the human world have secretly had alliances, and we have also joined them." But this alliance should be limited to the human world. ”

Wuxu nodded again, "The three of us and the others have secretly formed an alliance before, and they have also made a pearl return building." But now, it doesn't seem to have done much. ”

"That's because you have been in the world, not on Lushan, and you have a nine-leaf green lotus lamp to protect you. Xuanjizi snorted coldly, "To tell you the truth, Brother Qingtian and I were able to stand out and come to the Outer Heaven safely. ”

Liu Bowen, seeing that Wuxu bowed his head and was silent, stopped the mystery, "I know that Buddhism practice, the most taboo karmic cause and effect." The alliance will not be talked about for the time being, if there is something, you can still contact it. This day outside the sky, it seems that good and evil are mixed, and the three of us, who have just arrived, can communicate with each other. With that, he took out two jade slips, "These two jade slips contain a trace of the sword qi of the seven-star immortal sword on Qingjing Peak, which can be observed with its sword intent, and can also withstand the blow of the true spirit cultivator." ”

A trace of the sword aura of the seven-star fairy sword on Qingjing Peak?!Wuxu couldn't help but feel excited, he himself liked that kind of flying sword and swordsman's style, but among the Buddhism, there were almost no flying sword methods;

It was Xuanjizi, who also showed a hot gaze on the side. Without hesitation, he took out two things. One is a black and shiny stone box, open it and see, there are six gray stone needles in it, which is a vicious thing in the demon path; the other is a simple flying sword, no more than a foot long, Xuan Jizi shook his hand slightly, and a layer of yellow brilliance appeared on the sword body, and between the circulation, it was like a flying dragon, it was actually the yellow dragon sword that he did not hesitate to do earlier to do the common anger of people and gods, and skillfully snatched the yellow dragon sword!

。。。。。。

Wuxu is still walking slowly in the jungle. Dorjee, Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bowen, and Xuan Jizi left one after another, and since he was alone, he had no clear place to go for the time being, who would he show when he flew up?

In this jungle, although there are many sounds, and even tigers roaring and wolves roaring, rats and snakes swimming, Wuxu feels very quiet. Half of this is because of the characteristics of the practice of meditation in Buddhism, and half of it is also because of the new world of being alone, the joy of the new promotion and the sudden parting, and some unknown confusion, mixed together, the sound of the big sound is like a hope, so that these hues and sounds of the outside world are dwarfed, like nothingness, and it makes the enlightenment seem to be completely immersed in the huge inner world, wandering in one's own heart, wading through mountains and rivers.

Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves, why not chant and walk slowly。。。。。。

Wuxu silently read it in his heart, but he didn't chant out loud. Because this poem is good, but it was written by Su Dongpo. Although Su Dongpo often talks about Buddhism, strictly speaking, he belongs to Confucianism after all. Fang Cai declined the invitation of Confucianism, but at this moment he recited the poems of Confucianism? Wuxu didn't want to let his mood gap.

Ever since he started practicing Buddhism, he has unconsciously distanced himself from poetry. There are words and knowledge barriers in Buddhism, and there are also great voices and great beauty without words in Taoism. In many cases, there are many hidden secrets in the cultivation and inheritance, and there are no words, but words are really things in the world, and it is difficult to inherit the law outside the world. In the Diamond Sutra, the World-Honored One "said A" many times, but then said "not A", and explained that "it is the name A", and finally simply said, "The Buddha said all the Dharma, not all the Dharma, but all the Dharma", and "if a person says what he says, he has a saying." That is, slandering the Buddha. I can't understand what I'm saying." There is another layer, the recitation of poetry and lyrics requires more emotion, and the practice of Buddhism is also an obstacle. Therefore, Wuxu, the first literary and artistic youth, was ruthless at the beginning, extinguished the heart of poetry, and wanted to prove that "there is no wisdom and no gain", and he forgot most of the poems he learned.

But since Su Dongpo's sentence "Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves, why don't you groan and Xu Xing" ran out, Wuxu who does not go to Confucianism must deal with it, and he can't ignore it silently in his heart.

Poetry and lyrics need to be emotional, and they need to be emotional, and they should be affectionate in the scenery and things, but there is another category, which is to borrow metaphors from things, such as "asking the canal to be as clear as possible, for there is a source of living water". The saint is ruthless, and the people in Buddhism have not cultivated to the realm of "no retreat", and they are not closed to death, and they do not walk around in the world, so they will inevitably be entangled and entertained with the world, and they will inevitably have their hearts and minds, look at the mountains and the moon, and say three or four, so that there are many Zen poems circulating, such as the popular poem "Spring has a hundred flowers and autumn has a moon, summer has a cool breeze and winter has snow." If there is nothing to worry about, it is a good time in the world." Moreover, at this moment, it is appropriate to talk about the situation, and there is the sentence "The verdant bamboo is the Dharma body, and the lush yellow flowers are nothing more than the same".

Wuxu stood on his feet, clasping his palms together and looking around. After a moment, he shook his head silently. The mind is not quiet and uncertain, if you want to reluctantly compose Zen poetry at this moment, your mind will be galloping, entangled with the hue and sound around you, even if there are good sentences, but it will only increase your troubles.

Wuxu shook his head and moved forward again, no longer caring about the direction. If there are branches and vines in front of him, Wuxu will not overcome the thorns and thorns, so he will take a detour, or even retreat, and find another way. If there are any toads, centipedes, or poisonous snakes, they deliberately block the way, but Wuxu will not avoid it. If there are flowers scattered and fragrant, and trees are like canopies, Wuxu will also temporarily change the route, approach carefully, enjoy quietly, and even salute respectfully, chant in a low voice, and then move forward leisurely。。。。。。

There are sentient beings and sentient beings, compassion and fearlessness. Throughout the heavens and the heavens, all the way to the festival. Wuxu laughed at himself.

This jungle is very vast, and Wuxu has been going around and around like this, walking for several days, but still not going out. On this day, Wuxu finally stopped with a solemn expression, and thought about it again, whether to fly up and go out as soon as possible.

A tiger roar came. Wu Xuan stared at it, and a tiger shadow, through the cover of the jungle, flashed by. It seems to be gone, but the fishy smell, as well as the killing intent, is getting closer and closer.

It's a tiger demon! I want to eat myself.

As soon as this thought came to Wuxu's mind, a fishy wind struck. A huge tiger head, the legendary white forehead, with a bloody mouth, two tiger claws, like a small mountain, containing the two artistic conceptions of grasping and pressing, from behind a big tree, flew over.

Wu Xuan held it in front of his chest with one hand, formed a fearless seal, pulled out the Nebula Bamboo with one hand, swept the sword with his backhand, and brought up a circle of sword light.

The tiger's eyes suddenly flashed with a look of fear, and finally, towards the rising momentum of Wuxu, revealing a begging for mercy.

But Wuxu didn't stop, that circle of sword light, according to the established trajectory, first cut off the claws of this tiger demon, and cut off its tiger head.

The thick blood of this tiger demon sprayed and splashed in the air, and Wu Xuan hurriedly turned the Fearless Seal into a common dust seal for monks, and there were still a few drops, with a strong fishy smell, and landed on Wu Xu's monk's robe. In addition, in Wuxu's faint feeling, some of the bones and bones of this tiger demon also fell on his monk's robe.

Wuxu hurriedly retreated, flew into a lake that he had seen and passed by before, and sank. There was a burst of bubbles in the center of the lake, and the red blood, with the waves churning for a moment, finally dissipated without a trace.

A moment later, Wu Xuan flew up from the cold water, let out a long howl, and then laughed away, as if he had finally gained something after a long retreat at the bottom of the lake.

It didn't take long for him to fly back to the place where the tiger demon was killed, and he made a barbecue grill with nearby materials, and removed half of the tiger demon's body, fur and skinned it, and then put it on the shelf, light a fire, and sprinkle salt and spices.

In a few moments, the tiger oil was roasted out and dripped into the fire below, making a crackling sound. And an inexplicable smell of meat spread out with this crackling sound.

Wuxu looked at the oil droplets, smelled the smell of meat, and couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing, "I don't cultivate good fruits in my life, I only love to kill people and set fires。。。。。。 ”

A crisp and piercing applause rang out so suddenly.

Wuxu blushed for a while, as if this snapping sound was someone else hitting his face with his palm. I just realized something, but I forgot the hidden risks of this jungle. He stood up and asked in a deep voice, "Where's Daoyou?"

A middle-aged man led a little boy and appeared in front of Wuxu. The middle-aged man was very tall, with big eyes and big hands, but so many of them, when combined, they were not only very coordinated, but also very atmospheric and calm. The little boy, who looked to be only six or seven years old, had two small crystal tiger teeth and two eyeballs, which were also round and large, and were staring at Wuxu viciously.

Wuxu didn't move, and he didn't continue to speak. This middle-aged man is too powerful. He just stood there simply, with a smile on his face, but like a tiger ready to leap up and devour people. An invisible momentum has faintly blocked this radius of dozens of meters, cutting off the retreat of Wuxu.

At this time, the little boy let go of the man's hand, stepped forward, looked Wuxu up and down, then turned around, tilted his head, and said to the man, "Father, he is dressed strangely, and he doesn't have those sect logos, and he doesn't recognize us, he should have come up from below a few days ago." ”

Wuxu was shocked, but he didn't expect to be recognized so quickly. I had to put my hands together, seal the lotus, and chant in my mouth, "Amitabha, the little monk has just gone to heaven and outer heaven, if there is any offense, please forgive me." At the same time, he secretly connected his divine sense to the nine-leaf green lotus lamp, and if he planned to do something wrong, he would fight to the death.

But when he saw the little boy, he turned around again and pointed at Wuxu arrogantly, "You wild monk, you dare to kill my little tiger! Eating you, it's all cheap!" When he said this, his two tiger teeth flashed with a trace of blood, as if he had really eaten a lot of people.

In front of him, these two people, could it be that they are two transformed tiger demons? As soon as he went to the heavens, he met a little boy who had eaten people, which was not a good sign. Wuxu's scalp tingled for a while.

"Ask him, is there a sect guide token?" The man, at this time, glanced at Wuxu casually and carefully, and said to the little boy.

The little boy immediately pointed at Wuxu again, and said in a milky voice, "Wild monk, is there an aurora connection token?"

When he heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He heard two meanings. In this heaven, it seems that there is really only one Buddhist sect, the Aurora Sect. And right now, if I can't get out of that Aurora Connection Token, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get out.

"Also, you are a leaky spirit body, how could those bald donkeys of the Aurora Sect give you the sect guide token. The man, as if he had expected it, saw that Wuxu didn't speak, and looked at Wuxu even less.

"Then eat him!" the little boy suddenly cried out beside him, and then waved his fist and leaped forward, like a humanoid cannonball, and pounced on Wuxu.

Wuxu was suppressed by the momentum released by the middle-aged man, and it was too late to dodge, so he could only raise his hands forward and upward. Who knows, this little boy, although young, is very cunning and cruel. As soon as he saw Wuxu stretching out his hand to block it, he sank down with both hands, grabbed Wuxu's hands, and then opened his big mouth, and the two tiger teeth, even more bright, bit towards Wuxu's fingers.

Seeing this, Wuxu hurriedly shrank his ten fingers, tied his hands inward, and knotted the lotus heart seal. The little boy bit into the air, but his hands were holding on to Wu Xu, and when he turned his head, he bit it down again. Wu Xu's heart was on fire, desperately bitten, and his hands slammed towards the little boy's front teeth.

Immediately, Wuxu only felt a burst of pain in his heart, and the index finger and middle finger of his left and right hands were bleeding nonstop. And the boy, too, did a backflip and fell to the ground, his mouth was red, and it was obvious that his teeth were also bled out by Wuxu. His expression became hideous, and while looking at Wuxu, the prey, he stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, "Your blood is not bad!"

Wuxu was furious, he fought with this little boy before, he was afraid of the middle-aged man next to him, and he didn't use many means, so he kept holding back, thinking that he had just come to the outer heavens, and he didn't want to form a deep grudge too much. I imagined that this little boy of five or six years old was really so cruel.

Wuxu is about to sacrifice the nine-leaf green lotus lamp and the green cloud bamboo. The middle-aged man, who had been watching from the sidelines, waved his hand, summoned the little boy back to his side, looked at Wuxu again, and snorted sharply, "You just killed my son's pet, and you should have paid for your life." However, I see that you are still a little bloody, unlike the wilted and wilted bald donkeys of the Aurora Sect, so I will give you a chance to be my son's entourage. ”

Be this little boy's entourage?!Wuxu almost laughed angrily, he was also a monk at the human level, and he was in the world before, not to mention the dominance, at least he could fight and laugh proudly. Now, in a few words, you want to be a fart child's entourage?!

The little boy on the other side, seeing Wuxu's cold eyebrows, was about to pounce again. was stopped by the middle-aged man again. The little boy was about to speak, but when he saw the middle-aged man raise his palm, he suddenly lowered his eyebrows and stood beside him, how obedient he was.

The middle-aged man looked at Wuxu with a rather playful look, and after a while, he sighed, "I don't know what shit luck you have taken, a leaky body, no door and no faction, not only cultivated to the real person level, but also actually came here." Don't think that you are a character below, and feel how wronged you are to be my son's entourage. ”

Wuxu listened to the middle-aged man's words while quickly analyzing the implication. His own Heavenly Spirit Acupoint was shattered by the impact of the Nine-Leaf Green Lotus Lamp, and his so-called leaky spirit body must be referring to this. This man, whose cultivation is unfathomable and his temperament seems to be very arrogant, is probably not going to deceive himself in some details. Could it be that the Outer Heaven is really much higher than the human world, and the real monks are walking all over the place, and he is not aggrieved to be his son's retinue? When he first arrived, he smeared his eyes on the Outer Heavens, is it better to take advantage of the situation and blend in with a certain sect? Although he is not the opponent of this middle-aged man, he is not unable to fight with him in a bloody river, and he must not let himself be the follower of this murderous little boy。。。。。。

In the flash of light, Wu Xuan thought of this, and then turned to the middle-aged man again, and said, "I killed your company's pet by mistake, and I should be compensated." If you want me to be an entourage, you might as well kill me. With that, Wuxu raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man fearlessly, "But I'm used to being careless, if you want me to be an entourage, you might as well kill me." ”

The middle-aged man burst out laughing. For a while, the entire jungle was silent, only his loud laughter, like a tiger's roar. Wuxu only felt that his chest was tight, as if he was suffering from altitude sickness, and he was extremely uncomfortable.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for this man to stop, otherwise Wuxu would really want to sacrifice the Nine Leaves Qinglian and Xingyun Bamboo, and fight to the death.

"You don't have any treasures, how can you compensate?" the middle-aged man squinted at Wuxu, "In this way, this seat sees you like an old man, so I have great mercy and allow you to serve in the valley for three years as compensation." ”

At this point, what else does Wuxu have to say. What's more, serving for three years is just labor, and there is no personal dependence. This is actually nothing in the eyes of the enlightened void who came from later generations. Not to mention that work is the most glorious, in the final analysis, it is to work for three years in vain, not to mention that there is an identity and cover?

Wuxu arched his hand again and said in a deep voice, "A word is a certainty." ”

The man laughed out loud again. While laughing, he flew up with the little boy, and a long roar came out of his mouth, "I don't cultivate good fruits in my life, I only love to kill people and set fires." Suddenly, the golden rope was opened, and the jade lock was torn off here. Hey, the tide on the Qiantang River came to me, and today I know that I am me. ”

Wuxu slowly followed, for a while, dumbfounded, and his heart fluctuated, "Is this okay? What is this sacred, it seems to have some friendship with the legendary Lu Zhishen?

As the so-called:

Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves, and the mountains and rivers in your heart are galloping.

Kill the tiger and set fire to it, and remember the old people with a roar.
