New soil is added to the old graves, and the old people are buried in the new graves

That night was undoubtedly a great disaster for this small isolated Taoyuan village. There are only a quarter of the survivors, and the gods, immortals, ghosts, and Buddhas all have their own magical powers.

Those who survive will never be forgotten in this life. But so what, you still have to live, there is no reason, you just have to live. If you have to talk about the reason, it is firewood, rice, oil and salt, porridge and rice, the hard work of the four seasons, and the relatives at home, all these are reasons. Being alive is an instinct that accompanies life, and the fear of death is also an instinct, and no one is exempt.

The people here don't know what immortal schemes, Buddhism, Taoism and nature are, and they don't know when they have been in the game.

It's just that in troubled times, in order to avoid the soldiers, I chose to come here and seek a quiet life. was involved in this game for no reason.

Zhou Zhengqing did not believe it, and judging from the secret reports that were transmitted to him through various channels, whenever the imperial court was overthrown, there must be some shadow behind it. That person was just an ordinary person back then, and he couldn't survive anymore so he fought desperately to rebel.

The current Daming, or the future Daming, is the scene that Zhou Zhengqing's own husband, the national teacher of the past, wants to see the most.

Zhou Zhengqing shook his head, squatted on the ground with the monk, drank water and ate dry food. Let go of those distant considerations for a moment. There is less than a month left, but the road is still far away.

Looking at the knife in his hand, this was the most direct purpose for the monk to see him, but he had never let himself take it before that night. If you can't help it at the wine table when you are in Taoyuan Village and hurt people's lives, maybe this knife will have nothing to do with you.

According to the monk's style, whether it is Xiao Jiuge's explanation or the monk's own considerations, his purpose must be to warn himself that he can't easily draw a knife.

How easy it is to kill people and how difficult it is to save people, in Taoyuan Village, Zhou Zhengqing has a profound experience. So even when the tiger hurt people, the monk never told him.

Maybe when the monk rushed out and stood in front of him to face the tiger, he was also thinking about giving a knife at that moment. Seeing his crazy side, the monk hesitated, the tiger in the world can still be stopped, but the tiger hurts in his heart but it is irreparable.

If you really did it at that time, the things that followed would only be worse, one wrong step, one wrong step.

The small Taoyuan Village, for Zhou Zhengqing, also completely exposed his own heart in the eyes of the monks.

That seemingly ordinary unknown steel knife is really of great help to Zhou Zhengqing.

At the last moment, in fact, Zhou Zheng really fell into some kind of illusion, and that golden light was the means of a certain Buddha attached to Cong Yun's body.

pulled Zhou Zhengqing's anger and made Zhou Zhengqing take the initiative to fall into the illusion.

It's just that the Buddha may not have thought that he was broken by the steel knife in Zhou Zhengqing's hand.

Even the little anger that Zhou Zhengqing had left was wiped out in the knife that broke the illusion. Although the knife is important, Zhou Zhengqing's biggest gain is that he has not lost his heart.

This monk and Zhou Zhengqing walked together, which really gave Zhou Zhengqing a lot of peace of mind.

Looking at the monk from time to time, Zhou Zhengqing sometimes regards the monk as a mirror, and its central gains and losses are also inadvertently weighed by Zhou Zhengqing himself, and the matter of good and evil has been considered by Zhou Zhengqing from time to time.

It's just that what Zhou Zhengqing doesn't know is that it is Zhou Zhengqing's own state of mind that affects the steel knife to break the illusion.

Zhou Zhengqing looked at the bald monk in front of him: "Can you tell me, what is the name of this knife?"

The monk relied on a thick willow tree that was watered by the first spring rain and began to be green, chewing slowly and methodically, while reaching out to Zhou Zhengqing to hand over the wine gourd, and did not even look at Zhou Zhengqing.

Zhou Zhengqing was like eating fly feces, and the fragrant piece of jerky in his hand was not fragrant in an instant.

Zhou Zhengqing regretted it incomparably, and he didn't know what he thought before he came out, so he said more, and even let Ge Dashan God refill a full gourd of wine, which was really fucking asking for his own hardship.

miserably took the wine gourd, and still took a sip, after all, his butt still had to be wiped by himself.

You can't learn from Brother Xiaojiu, you can't even wipe your buttocks, and the next time you meet, you have to let him have a toast for this glamorous practice.

The two are still climbing mountains and crossing rivers, eating and sleeping in the open. Even if he was sent out all the way by Ge Dashan God, it saved a lot of time, but it was seven days away from the next destination of the two people, according to the monk's foot strength, even if it was not too far from Taoyuan Village.

The next place to settle down was not Zhou Zhengqing's original location, but the place where the monk insisted on going on a detour. It is also one of the most first-class mountains and rivers in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhaoyou Mountain, to be precise, Zhaoyou Mountain, the mountains are ten thousand, twists and turns, and the main peak is even more towering and steep.

But Zhaoyou Mountain is famous not only for its beautiful scenery and unevenness, but also because of Zhaoyou Temple, even the three words of Zhaoyou Mountain are named because of Zhaoyou Temple.

The years experienced by Zhaoyou Temple are quite ancient, and even many of today's immortal sects are far inferior to Zhaoyou Temple.

The world is divided into nine continents, and the place where the Ming Dynasty is fighting is the easternmost Xia Continent in the world.

In addition to Xiazhou, there are due north Jizhou, northeast Shizhou, northwest Chengzhou, due west Yizhou, southwest Yuzhou, south Chenzhou, southeast Qizhou. Between the continents, the sea is barrierd.

And Zhaoyou Temple is famous in Jiuzhou, because Zhaoyou Temple is neither a place for Buddhist cultivation nor an ordinary secular temple.

There are countless large and small Buddhist classics in Zhaoyou Temple, and there are many rare books in the collection.

Zhaoyou Temple has mastered many advanced Buddhist cultivation methods, but it is not widely spread among disciples.

It's just that each generation of presiding over the cultivation is unfathomable, and each generation of abbots and abbots only pass on one person, in order to protect the Zhaoyou Temple and be a scripture keeper. And this person must be extremely strong.

There have been many people who regard the Buddhist cultivation classics of Zhaoyou Temple as something in their pockets, and try them by various means, or personally buy and sell them. But without exception, the end was quite miserable.

Some people fanned the flames, saying that the methods of Zhaoyou Temple were vicious, and they were outliers in Buddhism, and they wanted to join hands to set foot on Zhaoyou Temple, but they couldn't even see the face of the abbot of Zhaoyou Temple, and they were beaten half to death.

After that, every time there was a change of abbot in Zhaoyou Temple, many immortal sects would be invited to have a meal, and most of them had stretched out their hands to the immortal sect of Zhaoyou Temple, and the implication was probably to ask whether to accept or disobey.

According to the temple of the temple, whether it is in the mundane or the immortal family, it can be regarded as unique. Even the Emperor of the Zhou family, who destroyed the Buddha when he founded the country, gave a thumbs up many times against the secluded temple, and it was true that he couldn't provoke him, and his admiration was also true.

Zhou Zhengqing also understands the secluded temple, for the Ming Dynasty, this place is also quite special, if it is not for the reputation of the secluded temple, this Zhaoyou Mountain will definitely be listed as the mountain god mansion in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty.

After many days of trekking, sometimes even starry nights, the two of them finally came to Yuexing Town at the foot of Zhaoyou Mountain.

Zhou Zhengqing was worried that Ge Dashan God was unreliable, and it was indispensable to guard against people! If some backhands were left on the two of them, Zhou Zhengqing and the monk really couldn't see it.

The other is the woman Guixiang, if someone does something about Guixiang's identity and cause of death, Zhou Zhengqing doesn't know how to deal with it.

What the monk is worried about is the temple, which is both worry and expectation.

Yuexing Town is located in the Ming Dynasty, which is the place of the Ming Dynasty.

Because of the relationship between Zhaoyou Temple, Yuexing Town is quite prosperous, from time to time there are 'fairy families' who come from afar to Zhaoyou Temple, passing through Yuexing Town, no matter up and down the mountain, most of them will come here to taste some customs, over time, there are a lot of 'fairy families' who do business here, and the people of the town are also accustomed to it, and it is not strange to see it.

The two arrived in Yuexing Town, it was noon, although there was still a lot of food in the baggage, the monk and Zhou Zhengqing tacitly did not mention it. They all widened their eyes, sniffed around, and endured hunger for a long time before finding a shop and sitting down.

After a feast, the two found that this Yuexing Town, compared with ordinary towns, is simply different.

There are many people on the street who carry swords on their backs, or who hold all kinds of Qimen weapons in their waists, like Zhou Zhengqing, just with knives, but they are a little strange.

Among these people, I don't know which ones are real people in the fairy sect, and which ones are ordinary rivers and lakes. It's not that there are no real immortals here, it's just that most of them are swaggering and deceiving, and most of them are charlatans who claim to be immortals.

Fancy dresses are nothing here, even if they are wearing armor and wandering around the streets. The streets are very wide, and the four carriages are not crowded in parallel.

There are patrolling armor soldiers in the town, fully clothed, with standard knives and guns. After all, in this environment, Da Ming had to use some means to maintain order, and the patrol generals were all cultivated, just like Zhou Zhengqing, it was a humane way to temper their physique.

It's just that there are general and subtle differences between Zhou Zhengqing's practice and most of these exercises, the most obvious is that once Zhou Zhengqing breaks through the realm, he will have a large amount of majestic anger, but others are not.

Zhou Zhengqing's exercises are indeed special, but it does not mean that only Zhou Zhengqing's cultivation is the most authentic in the world, and each has its own inheritance.

The Ming Dynasty has set up many soldiers and generals to guard here, in addition to maintaining order, it is also due to the special creation here.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhaoyou Temple gave the imperial court a big gift.

It is a special forging and smelting method in the treasured classics of Zhaoyou Temple, which can forge immortal blades in batches.

And there is a special mineral deposit here, which is really beneficial to the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, in the past few years, the incense has been endless, and it has a good reputation in the imperial court.

Zhou Zhengqing once familiarized himself with the landscapes and terroirs of the Ming Dynasty in Yi'an Town, but it was not as real as the current visual impact. The two of them asked the location of the most famous Teruyuji Temple from the shop where they had eaten, and looked for their way.

Zhaoyou Temple is not in Zhaoyou Mountain, the main peak of Zhaoyou Mountain, but in another place that is not too high Frost Peak.

After all, the monk's physique is not as good as Zhou Zhengqing, and every time he climbs a few long steps, he will stop to rest. Zhou Zhengqing wanted to go up with the monk on his back, but the monk refused, which made Zhou Zhengqing want to knock the monk unconscious more than once and take him up.

There are a lot of people everywhere in the stone steps, ordinary people go to Zhaoyou Temple to pray for blessings and incense, Zhaoyou Temple has a lot of experience in the treatment of some incurable diseases, and is willing to share some healing experience with Langzhong or outsiders, there is no portal view.

This kind of practice is also the fundamental reason for the prosperity of incense in Zhaoyou Temple.

There are also newcomers to the rivers and lakes who go to find the opportunity to become immortals and try their luck.

If you step on dog shit, you really become a fairy, and it is better than the days of licking blood at the knife edge, it is said that there was a precedent in the past. As for whether there is an immortal family on the mountain, it is really impossible to tell, after all, that immortal will not write a big immortal word on his head.

If there is, it is probably a charlatan, who has come here to beg for food and drink.

The people here really have no obsession with becoming immortals. First, it is not difficult for anyone in the town to earn a living if they have hands and feet, and secondly, most of those who fantasized about becoming immortals in the past finally gave up and only regarded it as a joke.

If there were really immortals who accepted disciples, the monks of the temple would not have been close to the water and the tower first, and where it would be the turn of others, the people would have regarded this matter as a joke.

Moreover, those real immortals who come to travel will not really appear in front of people, not to mention revealing their identities, and the disturbances of various characters seeking immortal fate are all kinds of priesthoods left here by the Ming court, soldiers who maintain order and cultivation, and even some people who supervise the mining of mineral deposits, will also show their swords and guns, and ask the 'immortals' who don't know whether they are alive or dead, and talk about the price of redemption.

For the negotiation of such human trafficking and ransom, Daming had a lot of experience at the beginning of the founding of the country. After several generations of development, it is even more handy.

After tossing for most of the afternoon, the two finally saw the Zhaoyou Temple in front of them.

Zhaoyou Temple is known as the bright moon shining on the secluded gap, located at the top of the frost peak, the peak area is not small, as if someone will be a towering mountain peak, a sword flattened.

The area is not small, look at it, the peaks on all sides are high on all sides, the tip of the mountain is like five fingers to hide in the clouds, the slanting sun at this time is reflected, the Zhaoyou peak in the position of its palm looks up and looks up, as if the immortal raises his hand to rub the clouds.

The temple is spacious and magnificent, and it occupies a large area. There are really not a few people who come to pay tribute to a stick of incense, in front of the temple mountain gate, there are a lot of people who set up stalls to buy and sell, on the root of selling incense, on wearing and selling Buddha beads, there are a lot, and there are even Taoist priests who set up stalls here to tell fortunes.

The monk tidied up his clothes, dusted off the dust, and walked solemnly. Zhou Zhengqing patted his head and grabbed the monk who the boss was unhappy with, a pair of eyes were large and small, one with high eyebrows and one with lower eyebrows. Zhou Zhengqing pointed to the stall, and the monk entered the temple, disrespecting incense, not quite like words.

Although Zhou Zhengqing had a very poor impression of the Buddha he saw that day, it did not prevent Zhou Zhengqing from being friendly to the good monks.

Zhou Zhengqing still has a good impression of Zhaoyou Temple, otherwise the destruction of the Buddha back then, even if Zhaoyou Temple presents some classics, it cannot be left alone.

Fighting hard, Daming was not without a backhand back then.

According to the past years of the temple, people can't find fault, and it is reasonable to pay tribute to the incense.

The monk's pilgrimage momentum just now disappeared without a trace in an instant.

When he really went to the stall to pay and bought incense, Zhou Zhengqing had remorse. I have to say, this incense is really fucking expensive.

In front of the main hall outside the temple, one person has three incense sticks.

There are many people who put incense, but it is not messy. Because the incense is very particular in the temple, where to enter the door, first step the left foot, it is etiquette. Generally, the left hand is incense, because the right hand is disrespectful, and most of the dirty things such as killing are done by the right hand.

The monk solemnly performed the Buddha ceremony, wanted to find the temple monks to inquire, and wanted to meet the host, which was the monk's master before leaving the Jinglu Temple, the monk's master specially explained the matter, which is also the reason why the monk insisted on coming here.

Before the monk could look for it, someone had already found him, and it was a little novice.

After exchanging Buddhist rituals, the little novice was the first to speak: "May I ask if you are the master of the realm?"

Seeing the monk nodding yes, the little novice was a little disappointed, and he couldn't help but feel a little resentful in his heart, a good monk, not wearing monk's clothes, nondescript, how unlikely!

It's just that you have to entertain you, after all, this monk from outside is the abbot who sent himself to receive it.

The abbot has not seen visitors for many years, but he recites the Buddha every day, and they often do not see the temple a few times a year, which is really a good chanting of foreign monks!

Xiao Shami pinched his nose and said, "Little Master of the Realm, the abbot asked me to take you two around the temple first, and then take you to see the abbot after the fasting later."

The guest is as good as the host, and the monk and Zhou Zhengqing followed behind this novice who had to add a small character to the back of the environment. The meaning of the little novice is obvious, it is nothing more than that the environment is not a few years older than himself, but he has won the appreciation of the abbot, and he is overwhelmed by the resentment in his heart.

Zhou Zhengqing was gloating, and he didn't want the little novice to seem to think of something coldly: "Little donor, the abbot said that you can go with the little master of the realm in the evening, as for whether to go or not, the abbot said, you can think about it yourself."

Xiao Shami didn't wait for Zhou Zhengqing to answer, so he began to take the two of them around the temple.

Zhou Zhengqing scolded the little monk in his heart, his teeth are sharp, he is really not a thing. Just follow around, and the monk is unhurried, walking around to have a look.

In the middle of the Daxiong Hall is a tall gilded Buddha statue, as for whether it is wrapped in a layer of gold skin or full of real gold, Zhou Zhengqing does not dare to let go of the perception and investigation.

Zhou Zhengqing knew the depth here, but he was not too presumptuous.

The Buddha statue has a strange style, the head has not been carved, the left hand is holding a jewel, the right hand is holding a tin staff, and it sits on a lotus platform. Three slightly smaller Buddha statues on the left and right are lined up on both sides, and the things they hold and the handprints they make are very peculiar, all of which are styles that Zhou Zhengqing has never heard of, and the monks, including the monks, are also confused.

When I inquired with the little novice, the little novice didn't know either, only saying that this was unique to the temple, and it was rumored that even the immortals had never seen it.

At the back of the temple is a pavilion that is not short, the style is simple and elegant, and it is completely different from the grandeur in front. It is such an unatmospheric scripture building, but it has made many immortals fight for blood, and it has also made today's Zhaoyou Temple show its reputation.

The two of them did not rush in, but just walked around the temple with Xiao Shami.

The sky is getting dark, if you look at it from a distance, this scene of the original five points to the sky and kneading the clouds has become an atmospheric picture scroll of one-handed support for the sun at this time.
