Anfeng, later Anhui Shou County, is located five hundred miles west of Zhu Yuanzhang's Jiqing Mansion, about a thousand miles away from Zhang Shicheng's Pingjiang Mansion.

After Wuxu and Pan Ruoxue had a secret conversation, that night they followed the East China Sea monks led by Pan Ruoxue, first took the waterway, passed through Taihu Lake, and then landed, sneaked through Zhu Yuanzhang's territory, and went straight to Anfeng.

This time, the East Sea Demon Alliance dispatched more than 20 monks and three black boats. The three black boats, respectively driven by two monks of the fifth phase of mortal dust, were driven by spiritual power, and the finished glyph was flying quietly on the Taihu Lake.

Wuxu and Pan Ruoxue sat on the boat in the middle, in addition to the two monks who acted as boatmen, there were also two real monks on the boat. One is Wu Yuzi, who once chased and killed Wuxu because he coveted the maple leaf red, and the other is dressed as a serious Taoist, with a long beard and chest, a round face and wide eyebrows.

On the way here, Wuxu knew that this person's surname was Huang Minglei, nicknamed Sanshi Daoren, and he was a disciple of Haoran Zhenjun Zhao Ran, who was originally the host of this operation. It's just that I don't know why, Pan Ruoxue took the initiative to participate in this event, because of her special identity and her uncle Wu Yuzi, so in fact, this operation was co-hosted by Huang Lei and Pan Ruoxue.

Wuxu was worried that he would be recognized by Wu Yuzi because he had been together for a long time, so after saying hello, he entered a room on the Black Jiaozhou and activated the ban on the room. Then he took out the information of Wu Yuzi that he had obtained from Changqing, the director of the Xuanying Gate, and read it again, carving almost every word in his mind before he put down the jade slip and meditated.

For about two hours, Hei Jiaozhou paused slightly, slowly stopped, Wuxu opened his eyes, and knew that he had reached the other side of Taihu Lake, and came to the boundary where Zhang Shicheng and Zhu Yuanzhang's forces were intertwined. When they came out, they saw that the monks of the other two black boats had already gone ashore. I think it was pre-agreed, some rolled on the ground and turned into a black dog and went to the woods, some jumped in the air and turned into a goshawk with wings spread and flew into the dark clouds, and some jumped in the river and turned into a water snake and swam to the bottom of the water. They turned into their own bodies and scattered through the night.

Wuxu looked at Pan Ruoxue with a wry smile, "Could it be that the fairy wants to turn into a snow refining snake, and Cang wants to become a big-tailed wolf?" Although Wuxu is no different from a wolf demon in terms of breath and appearance, he is powerless to become a wolf. This belongs to the seventy-two changes of fighting to defeat the Buddha Sun Wukong, and Wu Xuan will not.

Pan Ruoxue shouted, "Poor mouth!" turned sideways to Sanshi Dao and Wu Yuzi and said, "Two senior uncles, Ruoxue has something to deal with and needs to deal with it, don't dare to delay the two senior uncles, I don't know if it's okay to exchange money in Fengcheng tomorrow morning?"

Huang Lei, a person from Sanshi Dao, nodded noncommittally and walked away. Wu Yuzi, seeing that the Sanshi Dao people had already flown to the front, didn't say more, just looked at Pan Ruoxue and Wuxu, and left.

When the two of them left, Pan Ruoxue and Wuxu flew slowly in the direction of Anfeng.

Along the way, Wuxu saw that Pan Ruoxue passed by several brightly lit cities, still flying in a straight line at high altitude, without the slightest change of direction, or the slightest intention of landing somewhere, so he said, "Fairy Pan, where is there something important? Fly for an hour or two, and you will arrive at Anfeng." ”

Pan Ruoxue flew in front, using a magic weapon called the plum blossom mirror, and when she heard Wuxu's inquiry, she stood on the mirror without looking back, and said, "There is something in this palace, it's not that I'm afraid that you will show your feet in front of the two uncles." ”

Wuxu thanked him repeatedly, secretly anxious in his heart. I originally planned to find an opportunity to send out the information that Zhang Shicheng was going to besiege Anfeng and the East China Sea Demon Alliance to capture Liu Futong and Han Lin'er when he passed through Zhu Yuanzhang's territory, but he didn't have a chance.

Suddenly, there was a change in the token of Shennong Pavilion in the Sumeru ring, and Wu Xuan was overjoyed, and directly in front of Pan Ruoxue, he took out the Shennong token, pointed to the small dot that was slightly glowing red on it, and said, "It turns out that there is a stronghold of Shennong Pavilion thirty miles away. The little monk is just about to add some pills, I wonder if the fairy is interested?"

Pan Ruoxue looked at the small dot on the token and frowned, "This place, although it is not far away, but looking at the location, it seems to be in the Taiping Mansion." ”

Taiping Mansion Wuxu exclaimed, looked down, and sure enough, the small dot where the token glowed red, and the word Taiping faintly appeared. Taiping Road in the Yuan Dynasty, after Zhu Yuanzhang captured Jiqing, he changed the road to the house. It is the rebel army from all walks of life in the south, so it is called Taiping Mansion.

Pan Ruoxue stopped in front of her at this moment and said, "It's just a Taiping Mansion, what's the fuss." The so-called Zhenshan Zen Forest was also established in the Tang Dynasty, and now the war is chaotic, but I am afraid that it will wither very much. ”

Pan Ruoxue is a monk because of Wuxu, so she has this saying.

Wuxu shook his head, "No, no. "The elixir of Shennong Pavilion is famous, and it's still early, why don't you go and take a turn?" Maybe there is an elixir similar to maple leaf red to improve the heart." ”

Seeing Pan Ruoxue's slight move, Wu Xuan said again, "Afraid of this and that, when will you be able to achieve positive results?

As soon as she finished speaking, Pan Ruoxue turned around, drove the plum blossom mirror, roared past Wuxu, and said, "Don't provoke me." This palace wants to see what good elixir there is in this Shennong Pavilion. If not, hum!" the word hum came, and the person was already a hundred meters away

In the city of Taipingfu, there is an antique shop in the southeast, and a man and a woman stand side by side in front of the closed gate. After a while, the man, scratching his head embarrassedly, looked at the expressionless woman, "Maybe it's a private club, and let the little monk knock on the door." After that, he was about to step forward, when the owner of a street vendor next to him said, "Young man, who are you looking for? Since Zhu Dashuai entered Jiqing, this place has been empty and deserted for a long time. ”

The woman next to him said, "He is a fool, the year before last, he and the boss here gave three hundred taels on credit, saying that he made an appointment to pick it up today." ”

The boss who made tofu on a hunchback waved his hand, "Oh, this year, the year before last? ”

Wuxu hurriedly said to the old man embarrassedly, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

The old man waved his hand again, and while leaning back, he returned to his stall and said, "There are still a few pieces of dilapidated furniture in it, no one wants them, and they are still kept." ”

Pan Ruoxue said in a cold voice, "Don't leave yet?"

Wuxu said, "If you come, you will be safe." Shennong Pavilion is not there, there is a better place to go here. With that, he walked quickly to the old man's side, whispered a few words, and asked a few questions. smiled at Pan Ruoxue, "The time is still there, the little monk will take the fairy elsewhere." ”

Wu Xuzheng didn't look at the sergeants patrolling back and forth on the street, led Pan Ruoxue to a secluded alley, and then flew into the night sky and flew due south. Pan Ruoxue followed.

Only a few dozen miles left and right, the two seemed to have returned to the place they were just now. Pan Ruoxue landed at the foot of a mountain with Wuxu, looked at the wild grass in the four fields, frowned and said, "Where is this? There seemed to be pavilions and water pavilions before, but now it is barren, which is worse than the Shennong Pavilion in the Taiping Mansion." ”

Wu Xuan asked rhetorically, "The fairy majored in the Nine Nether Water Technique, and should be more sensitive to Yin Qi. I wonder if I can notice a big grave nearby?"

Pan Ruoxue, her eyes closed slightly for a moment, her feet did not touch the ground, and she floated towards one place. Wu Xu followed, and in a moment, he came to a very high tomb.

But I saw that in the open ground in front of the tomb, there were two people sitting on the side of a low desk, dressed in Confucian shirts, raising their glasses and drinking, shouting.

Wuxu walked straight to the tomb, but saw that the weeds were overgrown, there was no monument and no fragrance, and he couldn't help sighing, "How much Yixing and pride, but there is no tombstone and human evaluation."

The pair of drinkers, seeing Wuxu and Pan Ruoxue coming, pointed at the two and smiled, "There are two more people from the same way." Beckoning to Wuxu and Pan Ruoxue, "Come on, you will enter the wine." ”

Wuxu was about to step forward to talk, but Pan Ruoxue pulled his arm, and he heard his voice say, "Don't be careless, these two people are Confucian ghost cultivators." ”

Wu Xuan was startled, "Confucianism, ghost cultivation?"

"These two people, although they have the aura of Confucianism on the surface, are actually ghostly. Most of them are Confucian monks, who do not respect ghosts and gods, but they cannot get rid of it, so they have to cultivate into a yin body and wander in the world. Pan Ruoxue conveyed the sound while brushing her sleeves, and conjured up a desk table, two low stools, a pot of fruit wine and a few plates of vegetables out of thin air.

This pot of fruit wine is the best wine that Pan Ruoxue brought out from the Chengtian Temple of Pingjiang Mansion - Four Seasons Spring, which is made from cherries, strawberries, bananas, loquats, lychees, grapes, mandarins and so on.

The two of them smelled the fruit wine that Pan Ruoxue took out, and couldn't help but swallow saliva in their throats. Seeing Pan Ruoxue and Wuxu, on the side, pouring themselves a drink, finally a thin scholar-looking person stood up, walked to him, and said, "Good wine, good wine!" Looking at Wuxu and Pan Ruoxue.

Wu said with a smile, "It turned out to be a fellow practitioner, come and come, will enter the wine, and don't stop the glass." With that, he pointed his finger and tilted the jug slightly, filling the glass in the hands of the man and his companions.

The thin scholar drank it all in one gulp, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said with a smile, "Sure enough, it's a good wine, I remember, such a good wine has only been drunk in Daming Palace before." ”

Pan Ruoxue said with a smile, "There is also a pot of Yin Yin wine made from scorching sun flowers here in this palace. He took out another bottle of mutton fat and opened the cap.

The two ghost cultivators inhaled the dark green wine gas floating in the air into their bodies, and couldn't help but lift their spirits, and they didn't get drunk anymore, they both looked at each other, and then the old man got up and coughed twice, and said to Pan Ruoxue and Wuxu, "I don't know how to change this pot of Yin Yin wine?"

Pan Ruoxue said, "Only change the elixir or herb that improves the heart." ”

These two ghost cultivators, hearing that they were only related to improving their hearts, couldn't help but show a slight look of disappointment. Walked to the side and exchanged heads.

Because Wuxu led Pan Ruoxue to the Taiping Mansion in the name of exchanging pills, it was inconvenient to say much at this time, so he only drank on the side, asking Pan Ruoxue about the Yin Yin Wine in his mouth, and wondering how to pass on the news through these two people.

This scorching sun flower, born in the east of Dongji Island, bears the first rays of sunlight at the beginning of the rising sun every day, it is originally a thing of the yang, but if it is concocted by the extreme yin exercises, the yin and yang cycle, and the yin hides the yang, it is quite effective for cultivating the yin attribute exercises;

Pan Ruoxue's own cultivation of the Nine Netherworld Water Recipe is the Extreme Yin Attribute Exercise, and she knew the identity of the two ghost cultivators from the beginning, but at this moment, she took out a bottle of Yin Yin Wine concocted by the Burning Sun Grass, but she had already had an intention.

After two cups of fruit wine, the two ghost cultivators walked back, and it was still the older old man who spoke, "This fairy, the elixir that improves the heart, but the two of us don't have it. I don't know, can I forget my worries?"

Pan Ruoxue shook her head, "Forget the worries grass, it may be of some use to you, it can stabilize your soul and alleviate the scorching sun's burns." But Hongu doesn't need it. ”

The scholar standing on the side, seeing this, said, "If you want to say things that directly improve the mind, not far away, there is Qixia Temple." However, this forgetfulness herb, after taking it, can make people temporarily forget all worries and forget about things. Occasionally, it can also help to improve your mood. Of course, if the fairy can find the Buddhist monk and concoct it into an elixir, it can also make the fairy directly perceive reincarnation and improve his state of mind. At the end of the day, his voice became quieter and quieter, and he seemed a little embarrassed.

This forgetfulness grass is named after a legend. According to legend, there is grass like flowers on the Huangquan Road, but it is difficult to bloom for ten thousand years. People who have just died, or died very miserably, or have unwillingness, or have panic when they first arrived in the underworld, when they pass through the Yellow Spring, they will gradually calm down after inhaling the breath emitted by the Forget-Worry Grass, and their spirits will be extremely relaxed, and they will obediently follow the bull head and horse face to the Yama Temple.

The effect of this forgetfulness herb is equivalent to that of soothing and anesthetizing the mind. If you use it too much, there are also the drawbacks of addiction. As for the pill concocted from the Buddhist Taoist exercises, no matter how you listen to it, it is just talking, how can alchemy be so easy, and it can make people directly perceive reincarnation.

Pan Ruoxue also knew this, and seeing that these two poor ghosts didn't seem to be able to squeeze any oil and water, she suddenly lost interest, got up and looked at the northeast direction, and said, "Qixia Temple, this palace will naturally go when the time comes." After that, he put away the wine of the underworld and wanted to leave.

Wu Xuan hurriedly said, "This forgetful grass, don't you want the fairy?" Pan Ruoxue said, "Will you use alchemy?" Wu Xuan didn't want these two people to miss out on Yin Yin Wine, and said, "There are five or six points of certainty." ”

Pan Ruoxue threw the jade bottle containing the Yin Yin wine to Wuxu, who politely handed it to the two ghost cultivators, took a bunch of forgetful grass, and threw it directly into his own Sumeru ring. Then he lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and took out two white beads from the Sumeru ring, stretched out his hand, and saw the two beads rise into the air, emitting a faint white light.

These two ghost cultivators exclaimed in unison, "Relic?!"

Wuxu nodded, "Exactly, it's just that it has been used a few times, and the effect is not as good as it was at the beginning, but Cang got it from a lama." It's useless to put it around, but you can exchange some worries with the two of you. ”

The thin scholar, looking at the relics in mid-air, his eyes lit up, feeling the pure white light emitted by it, his face showed the comfort of a mortal basking in the sun, and muttered to himself, "So just right, so just right." If not, we can't afford it. ”

When Wuxu had previously cultivated the Vajra Immortal Dharma Collection, he would occasionally urge the relics given by Master Yuanxin of the White Horse Temple, and use some Nirvana Death Breath as an aid to offset the pain of some of the divine consciousness and body. Now that most of the spirituality of this relic is used, it is also just right to give it to these two, Rao is like this, and when Wuxu is urging, he is also cautious, otherwise, I am afraid that these two Yin Body Ghost Cultivators will be purified and led to the Western Elysium.

The old man next to him hurriedly pulled the scholar with a look of enjoyment, and arched his hand at Wuxu, "This fellow Daoist, wait for a while." With that, the two turned into a cloud of black mist and burrowed into a stone crevice at the foot of the mountain.

After a while, the two of them appeared from the black fog and walked up to Wuxu, the scholar handed over a large bundle of forget-me-forgetting grass, and said, "These are all the mature forget-you-worry grasses, and we only have a few seedlings left. Please also ask Taoist friends to check it. ”

Wuxu didn't look at it much, put this large bundle of forgetful grass into the Sumeru ring, sent two relics to his hands, and finally asked, "In the small green mountains of Xiali Lake." Haven't consulted the names of the two Taoist friends yet?"

Because they exchanged the Forgetful Grass for a pot of Yin Yin Wine and two relics, the two ghost cultivators who were originally very interested heard Wuxu ask for their names, so they quieted down, looked at Pan Ruoxue and Wuxu, and laughed silently. However, the old man returned the salute first and said, "The two of us, the wandering soul of the countryside, live here, how can there be any name." As for the name of the previous life, it has long been discarded. ”

Pan Ruoxue is knowledgeable, and secretly said on the side, "Why do you ask so much? These Confucian ghost cultivators, most of whom were quite famous in their lifetimes, have now become the so-called Yin Body Ghost Cultivators, who do not see the light of day, and live in underground caves. Therefore, he generally does not mention his name and deeds to outsiders, for fear of being ridiculed. ”

I see, although Wuxu had doubts, he knew that Pan Ruoxue was in a hurry to leave, so he said to the two of them, "I see." Yesterday was like the flowing water, far away from me, and I could not stay. With the relics and the blessing of the light of pure nirvana, not only do they not need to worry about the scattered souls, but also have no inner demons to disturb them, as long as they practice diligently, they can naturally no longer be afraid of the scorching sun in time, and the world is so big that they can go. ”

Finally, he said, "Since the two of you are cultivating, you can't be too obsessed with the view of the portal, the Buddha and the Tao are a family, what can you learn from?" and passed some Buddhist mantras casually, before leaving with Pan Ruoxue.

These two Confucian ghost cultivators originally thought that Wuxu, a wolf demon, was illiterate, but later, when they saw that Wuxu was talking about the Tao, they taught some chapters and verses in the Buddhist Nirvana Sutra, and they were all grateful.

When Wuxu and Pan Ruoxue had just flown to the sky above Daqing Mountain in Taiping Mansion, they sensed the sound transmission beads, and when their divine sense entered, they knew that the two Confucian ghost cultivators had received their own summons.

It turned out that after Wuxu met these two Confucian ghost cultivators, he roughly understood the characteristics and situation of their cultivation, and saw Pan Ruoxue take out the Yin Yin Wine concocted by the Sun Flower, and couldn't help but have an idea, mixed the sound transmission bead with the half-consumed relic, took it out, and then used his divine sense to secretly control the relics to emit white light, and divided the profit on the sound transmission beads, disguising the scene of the two relics.

With a secret joy in her heart, Pan Ruoxue in front of her stood in the clouds, looked at Wuxu, and suddenly asked, "Master Zhiyue, how many relics are you?" Why don't we exchange a few as well?"

Wu said with a smile, "It's just a half-waste product that I got by accident, but it's cost-effective to exchange it for some rare forget-it-all grass." Seeing Pan Ruoxue stopped in the air, she didn't say a word, worried that she would rush down, so she grabbed it directly, and hurriedly said, "If the fairy really wants it, the little monk has some here, and when he returns to Pingjiang Mansion, he can exchange with the fairy, but the quality and efficacy are not very good." ”

"Relics, generally left by the Buddhist monks when they are cremated, as long as they have not been wiped out, the pure Buddha nature will last forever, worn on the body, can ward off evil spirits and calm the nerves, reduce distracting thoughts and demons. Since you have this treasure, why haven't you told me before?" Pan Ruoxue didn't give up, her face was warm and angry, her feet stepped on the plum blossom mirror, and she wanted to fight if she didn't agree with each other.

Wuxu had no choice but to "churn for a while" in the Sumeru ring, and finally sighed "with relief", took out a relic, and handed it to Pan Ruoxue "painfully", "Fortunately, there is still one on the body, otherwise the little monk would have to die on the spot on this big green mountain, and the fairy will take a fire to see if he can burn a few relics." ”

Pan Ruoxue took the slightly larger relic, looked at it, put it into the Sumeru ring, and sneered, "Just rely on your oily tone to deceive the palace, and you still want to produce relics after sitting down? ”

Wu Xuan smiled, waved his hand, and was about to distinguish, but he heard the two Confucian ghost cultivators below begin to staggered again, and talked loudly, for a while, "Life must be happy, don't make the golden bottle empty to the moon", and for a while, "raise a glass to invite the bright moon, and the shadow becomes three people", and for a while, "Those who abandon me will not stay on yesterday's day; ”

pointed down, and laughed loudly at Pan Ruoxue, "Look at these two, how free and easy? The fairy might as well study and read a poem by Li Taibai every day." ”

Pan Ruoxue snorted coldly, "If it weren't for the two relics sent by the master today, would they be so free and easy? Poetry and songs are just small paths, what can they learn? Can they become immortals and gain the Tao?" Meditate more and chant more Buddha, which is the path of your Buddha. ”

Wuxu laughed and nodded, "Yes, yes, since I read Lengyan for the first time, I don't read the dregs of the world." Reciting poems, how can you become immortals, how can you get the Tao?" After speaking, he took another breath, and then sang the poems below, singing with the usual chanting of the Buddha and rejuvenating the qi method, "I want to fly with Yiyi and Zhuang, and I want to go to the blue sky and see the bright moon." ”

I heard the thin scholar below and Yingdao, "Draw the knife and cut off the water, the water is more flowing, and the glass is more sorrowful." ”

The old man continued with the last sentence, "Life is not satisfactory in the world, and the Ming Dynasty distributed flat boats." ”

After listening to this, Wuxu let out a long whistle and flew away.

As the so-called desire to pass on the danger skillfully, the relics are given on the Daqing Mountain.

Disrespectful ghosts and gods are not reincarnated, and the yin body is accompanied by wine and poetry.
