Suddenly, Xiao Yunfan's gaze moved to the boulder. I saw cracks on the surface of the boulder, and the stone chips peeled off one after another and fell to the ground. The Jade Shura's palm is powerful and fierce. Even though the boulder as a whole did not move, the surface of the boulder cracked when it was shaken by the force of his palm. The stone shards fell off, revealing lines of strange writing, shaped like earthworms. Under the reflection of the firelight, it shines brightly.

Xiao Yunfan saw it in his eyes, and his heart was extremely surprised, and he stretched out his hand and shouted: "Brother Shura, look, this boulder is actually engraved with earthworm-like words. ”

The jade Shura palm was useless, and his heart was gloomy. Turning his back, he heard him scream and turned back to stare. Seeing the earthworm-like words appear in front of me, I couldn't help but feel shocked. He said to himself: "The palm power that I have just exerted is certainly strong, and it is impossible to shatter this boulder. ”

At that moment, he approached the boulder, took a closer look, and gently twisted the debris under his feet, and suddenly realized in his heart: "It turns out that the boulder has been weathered for a long time, and the surface is just a layer of plaster, so I just patted the plaster." ”

He turned his head to Xiao Yunfan and smiled: "Brother Xiao, this is not an earthworm script, but a Sanskrit script of Tianzhu. In his early years, the little monk followed a master and learned some fur. If I want to talk about it, my six samsaric palms are also very related to this Sanskrit text. I never thought that I would see this article here today, it was really a strange fate. ”

Xiao Yunfan said curiously: "Brother Shura recognizes the words on this boulder?" Jade Shura nodded. Xiao Yunfan said again: "Could it be that your Six Dao Reincarnation Palms are not Middle Earth martial arts, but from Tianzhu?"

Yu Xiuluo sat down cross-legged and said slowly, "Not bad." Sixteen years ago, when I was only twelve. Master went to other places to give lectures, and my senior brother was responsible for all the affairs in the temple. This senior brother has a bit of a prejudice against me on weekdays. And Master made him responsible, so my life was naturally not easy.

The tank is out of water, so I'll pick it up. There is no firewood in the firewood house, so I will cut it. I also asked me to wash the clothes, shoes and socks of the other brothers in the temple. Master will not come back for ten days and half a month. If I offend him, there will be no good fruit to eat, so as long as he gives orders, I will do my best, and the slightest hesitation will inevitably be punished.

In those days, the offerings in the Buddha hall were always eaten by people, and my senior brother was always suspicious of me, so I was beaten and scolded by him a lot. It happened that one day the firewood in the firewood room ran out, so he asked me to do it. But in those days of heavy rain in the mountains, even if I cut firewood and carried it back, it still couldn't be used. ”

Xiao Yunfan said: "It's probably your senior brother who is embarrassing you, right?"

Yu Shura said: "Not bad. I thought so at the time. If I had carried the damp firewood back, I would have been beaten badly. I had to work harder, chop the firewood first, and then find a place to dry the firewood, so that I wouldn't be scolded when I took it back. ”

Xiao Yunfan picked up a piece of firewood, filled it into the fire and continued to listen to him. Yu Shura said: "Although it didn't rain that day, the sky was clear after the rain, and the mountain road was even more difficult to walk. I carried the basket on my back and walked one foot deep and one foot shallow in the mud. When I went up the slope, I didn't pay attention, my feet slipped, and the whole person fell down the hill.

Then I lost consciousness and woke up in a cave. I got up and touched the back of my head, and it was in terrible pain. Opposite me stood a middle-aged man in a monk's robe and shoes, about fifty years old, with high eyebrows and deep eyes, and a beard. On his right ear hangs a gold ring the size of a wine glass.

I saw that he was not from Middle-earth, and I often heard that the Fanbang barbarians liked to eat human flesh raw, so I was very afraid. But the man had no ill will towards me, and when he saw me awake, his voice was soft. With a smile on his face, he said, 'Little Master, are you feeling better?' and I said, 'I'...... I'm fine. He added: 'Hungry, eat something.' As he spoke, he handed me a few pieces of pastry from his sleeve.

I took it and looked at it, and the pattern on it was very familiar. I was taken aback, it turned out that this cake was paid on the Buddha Hall. My brother always suspects that I stole it, and the person in front of me is the thief who steals the pastries. When he saw that I refused to eat, he shook his head and said, "Little Master, can I ask you something?" The man asked me not to tell anyone about his whereabouts.

I was angry with him at the time, and he wanted me to be punished for stealing the Buddhist pastry. So he asked him in a loud voice, 'Are you worried that you will be caught by my brother after eating the pastry?' and the man laughed and said, 'Are you talking about a big man?' and I said, 'Yes.' Why do you want to steal when you have hands and feet? Look at your outfit, you are also a disciple of Buddhism, and one of the Buddhist precepts is to steal. ’

When he saw that what I said was very reasonable, he laughed and said, "The precepts are made by man, and they have to be changed when necessary." I said, 'You are using strong words.' He didn't care, he looked at me and said, "Do you hate your brother?" I said, 'No, I don't hate. He smiled and said, 'The monks don't speak. ’

I also know that I am lying, Senior Brother Huijing is very harsh on me, and there are many injuries on my body that he whipped with a whip. This man seemed to see through my thoughts and said to me, 'Little Master, I really shouldn't have hurt you for eating pastries. I confess my mistake to you. But you promise me not to reveal my whereabouts, and I will teach you a way so that your senior brother will not bully you again in the future, do you think?'

His expression was very solemn when he spoke, and I thought about it if I could really make my senior brother not bully me in the future, so I promised him, so I nodded immediately. Uneasy, he instructed again, 'You must not reveal my whereabouts to anyone, including your master.' So I did as he said.

The man knew that I had come to chop wood, and he fell down the slope and lost the firewood. He gave me a large bundle of dry wood from the cave and told me to come here at the tenth day of the month, and he would teach me how not to be bullied. When I went back that day, my brother and they didn't suspect it.

From then on, on the tenth day of the new year, I would wait for him in the cave in the back mountain. He started teaching me some techniques of tuna, and later taught me kung fu with fists and feet. In just three years, I have a first glimpse of martial arts. Until one day, when I went to look for him, I saw no one in the cave. And on the wall of the cave are carved a few lines of words, which are his parting messages. I haven't seen him since.

My brother bullied me again, but I beat someone on his back. After that, he was always respectful and polite when he saw me. It is said that it is the credit of this Tianzhu monk, who passed on my martial arts to make me where I am today. ”

After hearing this, Xiao Yunfan was puzzled: "Brother Shura, this is your fault. I have never mentioned this to others from beginning to end, and now that I have said it, wouldn't it be a broken word?" Yu Shura shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Because I finally know who he is today?"

There was a popping sound in the fire, and the flames were bouncing back and forth.

Xiao Yunfan was thoughtful, and suddenly said, "Brother Shura, we have been talking for a long time, but you still haven't told me what this Sanskrit text says?"

Yu Shura said: "This record is that a Tianzhu monk Jia Dao Luoye arrived in Chang'an from thousands of miles away, and then borrowed the true scriptures retrieved by Master Xuanzang from Chang'an Ci'en Temple. After being refused, he entered the temple late at night to steal scriptures. Although he stole the treasure scripture, he was injured by the master. After fleeing all the way, his injuries deteriorated suddenly. He knew that the end was approaching, so he engraved the thaumaturgy recorded in the treasure book on this stone, praying that in the future, Tianzhu would come again and bring back thaumaturgy. ”

Xiao Yunfan sighed after hearing this: "People die for money, and birds die for food." A mere scripture cost him his life. More than ten years ago, I went to Shanyang County, Huai'an Prefecture with my master to run errands, and I heard an elder surnamed Wu tell the story of Master Xuanzang's prayer for scriptures in the west. Master Xuanzang probably never dreamed that a hundred years later, the Tianzhu people would come to Dongtu again to ask for scriptures.

Thinking about the thaumaturgy contained in this scripture must be extraordinary, it is also human nature that the Temple of Mercy and Grace refuses to borrow it. Moreover, after a hundred years, even if the scriptures come from Tianzhu, it will be difficult for Tianzhu people to go back. The monk was earnest and reckless, but after all, he ended up in a bleak end. ”

A thought suddenly flashed in Xiao Yunfan's mind, and his heart was shocked. Zhengse said: "If I remember correctly, the place where Brother Shura is going is Xi'an Mansion Ci'en Temple. Could it be that Brother Shura is here for this scripture?"

Yu Shura closed his eyes, nodded and said, "Brother Xiao is right, this Sanskrit Jiadra is the Tianzhu monk who taught me martial arts that day. I didn't expect him to die here. ”

Xiao Yunfan sighed and said, "Brother Shura, this treasure sutra is what Kadra has asked for all his life, and he has finally fulfilled his wish. You have learned his martial arts, so you are naturally his successor, and it seems that you have long been destined to do so. ”

It turns out that the thaumaturgy contained on this boulder is called "Thousand Spirits", and after practice, you can understand the language of birds and beasts in the world. Xiao Yunfan had only heard similar rumors, but he had never thought that there was such a mysterious and magical technique in the world. Yu Shura read the Sanskrit text and explained it to Xiao Yunfan.

At first, Yu Shuluo talked eloquently, and Xiao Yunfan also listened to it with relish. But later, Yu Shura sighed: "It's a pity, this Thousand Spirits Recipe is tantamount to a dragon slaying technique, even if we wait to comprehend it, we will still be trapped in this cave after all." Xiao Yunfan couldn't help but be silent when he heard it. However, Xiao Yunfan is open-minded, and he has the words "The Road to Infinite Heaven" in his heart. After thinking about it, after a long night of nothing, I learned such a wonderful method and might be able to find a way to break the stone.

At that moment, he said loudly: "Brother Shura, the so-called Chao Dao, you can die at night." The younger brother is quite interested in this spiritual trick, since we are going to die sooner or later, it is better to learn this skill before dying. If you go to Lord Hades, you can ask for a share of the merits. ”

Yu Shura listened to what Xiao Yunfan said quite reasonably, and said with a smile: "In such a field now, Brother Xiao can still talk and laugh freely, and there are only a few people who are afraid of it throughout the ages." Your Excellency is well-known in the rivers and lakes, not only for his martial arts, but also for his wisdom. This humility alone and the tireless desire to learn have made many people down. If you don't become famous, God will probably be napping. ”

Xiao Yunfan laughed: "I wear your high hat comfortably, and my little brother will laugh at it." ”

One of them teaches sincerely, and the other learns with humility and concentration. The thaumaturgy of this Thousand Spirits Recipe divides the world's creatures into four categories: birds, beasts, fish, and insects. In order to master this skill, one needs to practice the pupil technique, and the other needs to imitate the sounds of various animals.

Although Yu Shura is new to this skill, there is a mantra in the palm of the six reincarnations that controls people's minds with sound, and it is interfering with the Thousand Spirits Formula, and he can comprehend some of it. But when it comes to imitating the sounds of animals, he is a great layman.

On the contrary, Xiao Yunfan comprehended faster, one of which he learned some superficial ventriloquist skills from Hou Tonghai in the Three Friends of Huashan, and he was familiar with the imitation of the sounds of chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, cats, dogs and other things. Second, he is full of interest in the Thousand Spirits Technique, and he is naturally comfortable with practice.

However, it was said that after the battle of the Xuannu Palace that day, Xue Lanyi worked hard independently, and finally arranged everything properly, but she was seriously ill again and was very haggard.

During the few days of recuperation, she had a faint idea in her heart to restructure the Xuannu Palace. The people of the nine departments have gone to six, and the remaining three lords can be mediocre and difficult to take on the big responsibility.

Watching the stars day and night, the main star is dim. After she deduced the horoscope, she knew that time was running out, and how could the great cause of the Xuannu Palace be lost in her own hands, so she was determined to pick out a few shrewd and capable ones from the younger generations to train them to inherit her mantle.

Such an idea is also wishful thinking, but the thoughts of the other three lords are unknown. After thinking a lot, she summoned the three lords of the Pear Blossom, Begonia, and Hibiscus Department on the evening of one day.

The charcoal fire in the copper basin is red, and the house is warm like spring. The four of them sat at a table, each with their own thoughts. Xue Lanyi stood up, raised the wine glass in her hand, slowly sprinkled the wine on the ground, and then said quietly: "Last year's Chinese New Year's Eve, this hall was still lively, and now there are only four of us old sisters left." Let's toast them with this first glass of wine. ”

The other three couldn't help but feel sentimental and hurriedly sprinkled the wine on the ground. Xue Lanyi said again: "Okay, I have paid respect." Our old sisters should not be restrained tonight, eat when they should eat, drink when they should drink. The children are still young, let them make trouble, let's talk about our hearts. ”

Shen Yuzhu, the Venerable Lord of the Pear Blossom Clan, understood the pain in everyone's hearts. Since the turmoil subsided, Xue Lanyi became seriously ill again. The affairs of the palace are all fully undertaken by the three of them. The sisters of the Nine Courtyards fought openly and secretly before, but after this incident, they each restrained a lot. Shen Yuzhu said: "Senior Sister Xue, there are still many important things for you to decide this spring. As for guarding the ancestral hall, according to the little sister's wishes, let others do it. ”

Xue Lanyi smiled faintly and said, "Okay, you can arrange this matter for Yuzhu." I've been sick all these days, and it's hard for you guys. Come, I will toast each of you a glass. ”

After three cups, Xue Lanyi's cheeks flushed, she glanced at the faces of the three people, then looked at Shen Yuzhu, held her hand tightly, and said slowly: "Yuzhu, you just said that after this year, there will be many important things waiting for me to decide." Tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, so I'll make a deal with everyone. I plan to give up this position as the palace master, I don't know what you think?"

When the three of them heard this, their faces changed. Furong Venerable Lord Liu Qinglian was stunned for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Senior sister, should she be drunk and laugh with us?"
