Early in the morning, Lushan Lotus Peak.

On a rugged mountain road, nine people, including He Qifeng and Zhang Cuilu, each carrying a load of cyan jade, were stepping on the stone path covered with dewdrops, moving step by step.

The sun has not yet come out, and there seems to be a touch of cold moonlight hidden in the sky, and the auspicious clouds infected with Buddha incense also seem to be asleep and lazy. The morning classes of the monasteries in the mountains and the deep trees have not yet begun, and the occasional birdsong or two chirps more and more sets off the tranquility of the moment.

Suddenly, He Qifeng, the leader, suddenly lifted the burden from his shoulders and sat on a round stone on the side of the road angrily. Zhang Cuilu, who followed closely, looked at He Qifeng in embarrassment, "Senior Brother He, hurry up." If he was seen by the mountain patrol brothers, he would inevitably be reprimanded. ”

"Lao Tzu is not convinced!" He Qifeng said hatefully, "We are also monks above the third layer of mortal dust, why let us get up early and work as coolies in the dark, and still have a beautiful name, sharpen our minds." ”

His low roar was very loud in the quiet valley. Before Zhang Cuilu could speak again, two figures had already flown over from the peak in front of them, stepping on auspicious clouds, monk's robes fluttering, nine incense scars on the head were neat and tight, and a big ink-colored "ring" word on the chest was particularly eye-catching under one hundred and eight golden silk nanmu Buddha beads.

"Wufeng, but you are roaring?" The two monks were condescending, and one of them looked at He Qifeng, who was sitting on the side of the road with an angry face, and asked in a cold voice.

At the beginning, He Qifeng, Zhang Cuilu and others were regarded as Xuanyingmen killers who committed crimes everywhere in Lushan and the sea of clouds, and detained Shangqing Jingfeng, but fortunately, Liu Bowen and Master Yuanfa and others came forward and tried to rescue them. After that, these nine people were taken in by Master Yuanfa and left in the Lotus Law Peak. Lotus Peak, is where the Buddhist monks are located, and is the first of the six peaks to open the mountain that leads to the outer heavens in the future, He Qifeng and other nine people want to stay in the Lotus Peak for a long time, according to the rules that do not know where, nine people must worship into the Buddha Gate, it is said that it is still for the sake of the Eight Sipa, the Yuan Dharma Master, as well as the Buddha's sea, Wuxu's feelings.

He Qifeng, Zhang Cuilu nine people, after the matter of Qingjing Peak, felt that the vast sea of clouds had no place for fear, and stayed on the Lotus Law Peak, Zhang Cuilu passed on the Dharma through the enlightenment of the virtual point, and had a desire for Buddhism, He Qifeng and others also felt that they should belong to Buddhism because of the mandala heavenly sword array. So, under the guarantee and auspices of Master Yuanfa, he became a registered disciple of the Lotus Fafeng of Buddhism, which can be regarded as the so-called Hualien Miaofa Sect Enlightenment.

Who knows, it is said that the Buddha is pure, but on this lotus peak, there are many precepts and rules. After the nine people worshiped the Buddha and became the registered disciples of the Lotus Peak, they were called to a large hall, and a monk who sat on the top of the temple, with a straight face and low eyebrows, spoke about the precepts and rules for three hours. The nine people endured it, listened respectfully, and finally arrived at the Daxiangguo Temple where Master Yuanfa was stationed in Xi, and it was quiet for a few days. Another person, on the order of Shi Hai, summoned nine people. Shi Hai, who regarded himself as an inner disciple of the Hualien Miaofa Sect, reprimanded him, gave the nine people the Dharma name. He Qifeng, given the law name "Wufeng", Zhang Cuilu, given the law name "Wulu", and so on, everyone has to become a wordless generation, and they all get a non-law name.

At this moment, the two mountain patrol brothers above the clouds, one of them called "no peak", is He Qifeng. He Qifeng stood up and was about to speak, when Zhang Cuilu below hurriedly said, "Two senior brothers, this green jade stone is extremely heavy, a small basket, no less than a thousand catties, no spiritual power."

Before he finished speaking, a voice came from the clouds again, no sorrow or joy, "No dew, on the Lotus Law Peak, my Buddhist named disciple, carrying the green jade, is to sharpen the mind and wash away the mortal dust." ”

Zhang Cuilu, with one hand up, "Wulu understands." Today's matter, please let the two senior brothers tolerate it a little. ”

"Wulu, the elders sent the two of us to pay attention to the nine people, just because they were deeply trapped in the karma of turbidity and could not experience the compassion of our Buddha. ”

"This introductory test, so careless, even if you are lucky enough to become an inner disciple in the future, when will you be able to break through the red dust and become enlightened?"

。。

Bi Lanlan, He Xiaohua and the others, seeing that these two people were like green-headed flies in the pit, stabbing the ground above their heads, buzzing and screaming, they couldn't hold back the sullenness and anger in their hearts for days, they glanced at each other, threw off the burden on their shoulders together, and used their spiritual power to unleash the white bone sword. He Qifeng also shouted loudly and killed the two people. Zhang Cuilu wanted to say something to stop it, but it was too late, and after watching for a while, she had no choice but to draw her sword.

Those who can be selected as mountain patrols and protectors are all people who have cultivated to be superb in Buddhist cultivation, and their cultivation is at least above the seventh layer of mortal dust. The path of cultivation is one level at a time, one level at a time, and the higher you go, the more difficult it becomes, and there is a big difference. Seeing that the cultivation was mediocre and could even be said to be lowly He Qifeng Nine people, the two of them were so angry that they drew their swords and faced each other, and they couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

How many elders, openly and secretly, revealed their dissatisfaction with these nine people in front of the two of them, the killer of the Xuanying Gate in the world, actually went to the Lotus Law Peak of Lushan Mountain, and came to share the great opportunity of the Buddha Gate for no reason, and the atmosphere was lucky!. I was worried that I couldn't find a chance, but today they were angry and took the initiative to take action! .

These two people, with their palms together, the one hundred and eight special golden silk nanmu Buddha beads on their chests immediately emitted a soft Buddha light, supporting one after another circle of talisman halo. It wasn't until he saw the nine heavenly dharma images that he was stunned.

Without waiting for the two of them to react, the nine Heavenly Lords, all of whom were holding white bone swords, broke the halo of the two of them without much effort, and smashed the yellow dragon-like, cold sword blade, revealing a trace of annihilation.

With a sigh, the two of them turned gloomy, and they felt an obscure and dead breath, and they were sneaking in their bodies, and then they were furious, and their faces turned red. shouted loudly, "Bold!" One person was covered in golden light, and even the fist the size of a bowl was also golden, like a downpour, and bombarded downward; one person sacrificed a heavy black long sword, shaking everyone's white bone swords, and then, growing in the wind, like a lonely peak in Izumo, countless charms flew out from the void on the top of the sword, like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, floating down, turning into a golden giant net, towards everyone as a hood.

These two people, one fights at close range with the fist of the Buddha King Kong Arhat, and the other uses a long sword to cast the Buddha Gate ghost destroying spell from a distance. Although He Qifeng and the others have the advantage in numbers, after all, there is a big difference in the cultivation realm, and if they work together, they can only fight to a draw.

A bell rang melodiously.

He Qifeng and Zhang Cuilu suddenly sank in their hearts: "It's not early, and the morning class of the large and small temples on the Lotus Law Peak is about to start." After a fight with these two people, the aura fluctuated, and it is estimated that it has spread to many people. If it continues, I don't know what big hat will be buttoned up by then. Thinking of this, his hands and feet unconsciously slowed down, and his momentum weakened.

The momentum is weak, and the offensive and defensive momentum is also different. The two senior brothers who patrol the mountain, the Buddha on their bodies is full of light, like the rising sun, and the golden fists, like the mountain long sword, forced everyone to scatter their sword formations and retreat again and again.

"The blue jade stone of this Jade Buddha Cave contains the breath of the ancient Buddha, and has many effects of centering and exorcism. In the Xuanying Gate of the human world, you and others strayed into the ghost path and killed countless people, which was already embarrassing, and now, the elders are extremely gracious, and they want to slowly cleanse the ghost qi of you and others every day. Such an opportunity to create, but even now, but still so obsessed! He actually used the ghost dao technique to sneak attack us and others!" The monk who had never spoken before, raised the black sword shining with golden light in his hand, and swept towards He Qifeng, Zhang Cuilu and the others heavily, while snorting coldly in his mouth, and admonished heavily.

When everyone saw that the other party was not reluctant, they did not let anyone, and they had to make inches, and they felt aggrieved. "Let's fight first, fight to get injured, take down these two birdmen, even if you are punished at that time, it will be worth being expelled from the Lotus Law Peak!"

But I don't want to, on the lotus law peak, countless wooden fish sounds, chanting sounds, from all directions, soaring into the sky, shaking the clouds and mist constantly boiling, under the light of the red sun, the weather is thousands. Several golden rays of light flashed, and several more figures flew in the distance.

Seeing this, Zhang Cuilu, He Qifeng and others, seeing this, sighed secretly, glanced at each other, withdrew their swords, and flew backwards a few meters unwillingly.

Who knows, the few people flying behind him did not decrease, but they roared in unison, "You wait for the remnants of the Xuanying Gate, but the thief does not change his heart, casts the demon law, and commits the following crimes!" One by one, they are like angry eyes King Kong, the protector of the Dharma Arhat, and the Dharma Sect magic weapon in their hands, glowing with golden light, connected together, like the great sun such as the world-destroying light sword.

Zhang Cuilu, He Qifeng and other nine people, while arguing, had to raise the white bone sword in their hands again, the heavens and the law flashed, and the sword qi of silence was overhead, gray and gloomy, looking from a distance, it was like a faint dark cloud.

"Well, the evil demon is outside, and his temperament is difficult to change, and he dares to be arrogant in the holy land of Buddhism!" The two monks who had fought with Zhang Cuilu, He Qifeng and others before also took action again.

Feeling the vast and surging spiritual power that rushed to their faces, Zhang Cuilu, He Qifeng and the other nine couldn't help but show a trace of despair.

At this critical moment, a huge gray sword qi shot out from the sky, and from between the dazzling golden light and the silent qi, it swept silently, marking a separation area several meters wide. Then, a low Buddha horn sounded, and a young monk with delicate eyebrows and a fair complexion, with a lotus mark in his hand, flew over from afar.

Zhang Cuilu and the others, seeing the faces of the people who came, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and saluted respectfully, "See Senior Brother Shihai!"

I saw him nod coldly, and then turned sideways to the monk of the mountain patrol team, and said expressionlessly, "All beings are equal, my Buddha is merciful, and the door is wide open." Senior brothers, why do you want to be so angry with a few other outer disciples of my Hualien Mystic Dharma Sect, such as Wufeng and Wulu, who have cultivated lowly? ”

Shi Hai, now as an inner disciple of the Hualien Miaofa Sect, deals with the affairs of the Lotus Law Peak, although it is just a false name, but after all, he is also half a master on the scene, and there is no room for rudeness. What's more, Shi Hai, a few days ago, successfully communicated and contacted the true spirit of the Sanskrit sound wooden fish, and these days he was in the White Lotus Monastery, discussing with all the incomparably respected true spiritual monks of the Buddhist Sect, which is the first under the true spiritual monks.

For this reason, when the person saw Shi Hai's grim expression, his ten fingers were bent or extended, like a sword and a halberd, he also stopped his hand and showed a look of jealousy. Suddenly, one of them exclaimed, "Senior Brother Shi Hai, oh, Elder Shi Hai, congratulations on the promotion of the elder to a real person!" Everyone present noticed that the auspicious clouds at the foot of Shi Hai were faintly five-colored, and within three feet around, Dao Dao aura was swimming and dancing, faintly forming a white lotus. The aura around him is automatically condensed and changes with the practice practiced, which is the unique sign that the monk can further communicate with the aura of heaven and earth and successfully promote to the real level. Suddenly, the monks patrolling the mountain, Zhang Cuilu and others were all envious, congratulatory, and the disputes and fights of Fang Cai all disappeared in front of them.

Shi Hai showed a faint smile, "No need to be polite. You are all role models for the younger generation of my Buddhism, and in time, when the opportunity comes, I am like me today. The monks who patrolled the mountain immediately claimed yes and folded their palms and retreated. Who knew that one person, who flew hundreds of meters, suddenly turned back to the middle of the way, it was the person who was holding a black long sword and reprimanded Zhang Cuilu and the other nine people. He looked at Shi Hai, saluted from afar, and said solemnly, "Elder Shi Hai, the matter of Fang Cai is not for us and others to make trouble unreasonably, Wufeng and others, who have been in the Xuanying Gate for a long time, and the exercises they have performed are still full of ghostly spirit. ”

"It's okay, you look at it again," Shi Hai interrupted his speech, the index finger of his right hand, moved slightly, and a trace of sword qi flew up, floating quietly in front of that person, exactly the same as the extinguishing qi released by the white bone sword of Zhang Cuilu and others, just like that, "This is the White Lotus Relic Method of this sect, so there is no need to be suspicious." ”

The man sensed slightly, shivered, hurriedly clasped his palms, bowed and retreated, and said nothing more.

Zhang Cuilu and the others were about to step forward and thank them again, but Shi Hai scattered his handprints and waved his hand, "If there is anything in the future, you can come to Shelian Temple to find me." He pointed to the blue jade stones below and said, "This daily miscellaneous work of a hundred loads of green jade, you don't have to do it, I will go and talk about it." ”

Then, Shi Hai took a step and flew towards the main peak of the Lotus Law Peak. The nine people are grateful, but there is no need to repeat it.

Outside Haoran Peak, Zhengqi Island.

A middle-aged man, dressed in a bloated robe, with a hesitant face, blank eyes, vain steps, walking aimlessly on the street, sometimes smiling wryly, sometimes sighing, just like the world, in the capital, those who have repeatedly failed to succeed and have never met talents.

Pedestrians were in a hurry on the street, and this middle-aged man hit a solid wall several times because he was out of the world, or collided with people, or because he was in a hurry to avoid the gorgeous car. Unkempt, with a blue face and swollen nose, he became even more angry, and began to scold the foul words that had been buried in his heart for many years. scolded like this and broke into a restaurant. The two doormen outside were about to step forward to stop them, but they didn't want to, this person took out a token from his sleeve like a trick, shook it at the two doormen, and sneered, "See clearly, this is Haoran Peak Virtuous Confucian Order!" Then, he flashed and walked around behind the two stunned doormen, humming a country song, Shi Shiran, swayed, and entered the restaurant.

This middle-aged Confucian entered the restaurant, looked around, hesitated slightly, walked through the hall, and calmly walked towards the private room upstairs.

After a while, a table of wine and food was placed in front of the middle-aged man, and a mortal man with three layers of dust stood aside respectfully and politely, with a smile on his face. This middle-aged man, knowing the fun, drank the full Cuibai wine in one go, took out a handful of elixir with soil from his arms, didn't look at it, and threw it directly away, which is regarded as the consumption of the future and the reward of the present life. This herb, no more than half a foot high, with sparse branches and leaves, and a slight yellow color, is of no use except for a fragrance, but the fellow's eyes lit up, and he looked at it carefully, and then carefully put it away, and then hurried forward, and filled the cup in front of the man, and then said with a smile, "Thank you, guest officer, the junior is waiting outside, if you have any orders, just call." ”

The middle-aged man nodded slightly and waved his hand, extremely chic, but his heart seemed to be dripping blood. This elixir is the elixir that I finally got on Haoran Peak today, but I didn't expect it to be fed to the dog!

He collected his emotions a little and began to enjoy the food and wine on the table. He ordered a table full of good wine and food in one go, and halfway through eating, he was a little supportive and a little drunk. Boredom, or rather dejectedly leaning against the window, looking at the endless stream of pedestrians on the street below, after a while, snorting wine, chanting, "The world is bustling, all for profit." The world is crowded, all for profit. If so, the third one, after groaning, lifted Erlang's legs, grabbed a chicken leg on the table, gnawed the skin, and threw the meat and bones out of the window. Suddenly, there was an angry roar outside. The restaurant is very high, and there are many windows on the street side. The headless case of chicken leg smashing the head. What can you do with me? The middle-aged man sat back at the table with a grin.

After dusk, the moon rises on the willows. This middle-aged man, from eating and drinking at noon and overeating to now, has only wiped out a table of wine and food. I saw him, stood up, stretched out the window with his oil-stained hand, raised the last glass of wine, and chanted like a shout, "Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow becomes a trio!"

The last glass of wine, after drinking it under the moon, the middle-aged man walked out of the private room drunk, squinted, held the stairs, staggered to the hall, without saying a word, took out the Confucian order, threw it at the oncoming restaurant guy, and then fell to the ground and walked out, while saying vaguely, "This Haoran Feng Confucian order will be used as the wine money tonight." After that, in front of those jaw-dropping restaurant guys, he swaggered, hummed a country song, and walked away.

Drunk and blowing the evening breeze, the middle-aged man out of the restaurant, only walked a few hundred steps, then could no longer support it, in front of a high-rise mansion, slowly along the root of the wall, planted on the ground, first half kneeling, then on all fours, like a dog, wow wow vomited.

The next day, when he struggled to open his eyes, the harsh sunlight made him turn his head in pain.

"Someone, bring the jasmine/lily tea that is decanting. A deep and neutral voice sounded.

An alluring fragrance hit, and in a trance, a young woman walked to the head of the bed and helped her up slightly, and another young woman, holding a white teacup with sky blue as the bottom cloud, carefully brought it to her lips. The middle-aged man, enduring the pain of drilling his brain, opened his eyes vigorously.

Sure enough, there were two maidservant girls like flowers, and in front of them, there was an old man dressed plainly and with a kind face, looking at him with concern. This middle-aged man, who is also flexible and clear-minded, has read countless people, while recalling the absurd behavior from yesterday to the present, while pillowing his jade arm, he sucked a few sips of beauty fragrant tea very hard, and then jumped up, bowed deeply to the extraordinary old man, and thanked him heavily, "Junior, Su Ji, thank you for the kindness of your predecessors, last night I was drunk and disturbed, and I hope that my seniors are not strange." ”

The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "The husband is occasionally unsatisfactory, drunk and singing, and vomiting all the blocks in his heart, which is also an affair that I will envy in the future." After a pause, without waiting for the middle-aged man to speak, he said, "Listen to your accent, you are also from Huainan." It's okay, you can take a break. The old man has some chores that need to be dealt with. Tonight, you and I, old and young, strangers from other places, will talk about wine again. With that, he went out with a smile.

Su Ji was relieved in his heart: listening to his accent, it seems that he is also a Huainan person. Unexpectedly, on Lushan, there is still this kind of thing in the script of the world.

After drinking the jasmine/lily tea, he waved his hand to signal the two flower-like maids to stand down, restrain their minds, and fell into a deep sleep again. When I woke up, it was already another afternoon dusk. Su Ji got up, put on the brocade robe that had been prepared on the side, looked around, the silkworm mosquito net, the yellow rosewood bed, and a pair of "Hairpin Lady" by Zhou Jingxuan of the Tang Dynasty hung on the wall. Su Ji took a deep breath, sat down with his eyes closed, calmed his mind, and waited for the old man to have a night of drinking.

On the second day, there was a famous bookstore on Zhengqi Island, Tao Ran Ge, and there was one more shopkeeper to assist the old shopkeeper in transcribing the accounts and filing them for investigation. Subsequently, almost the entire Zhengqi Island knew that Tong Xuan, the old shopkeeper of Tao Ran Pavilion who had no children and no daughters under his knees, accepted a fellow Confucian cultivator who went to Lushan in the world as a righteous son. This is said to have been a Confucian monk in the world in his early years, and after he went to Lushan, he was a very down-and-out Confucian monk, named Suji. With the homonym, everyone calls him the secretary.

That's right

He worked as a coolie in the lotus peak, and served as a secretary on Zhengqi Island.

Once the wind and rain are scattered, the shadow is faint and waiting for the opportunity.
