As soon as the gate of Lingzhu Mountain opened, the mortal monks gathered in front of the mountain gate immediately knelt on the ground and bowed to the ladder that reached the sky.

"What are you doing? Get on your knees!"

Mingxin saw Yan Ran standing stunned, and immediately pulled her.

Yan Ran looked around and saw that everyone was kneeling, not too maverick, so he also knelt down, "Before going to the root washing pool, the Buddha clan has to ask everyone to bow first?"

Mingxin shook his head: "It's not the Buddha's request, it's the people's spontaneous and voluntary willingness, so as to show their respect and gratitude to the Buddha." ”

Hearing this, Yan Ran looked back at the people who were kneeling and bowing, and saw that the respect on their faces was not false in the slightest, and his heart turned slightly, and he understood.

In the immortal realm, although the cultivation resources, environment, and opportunities are much stronger than those in the lower realm, this does not mean that here, you can smoothly cultivate into an immortal.

The shortage of cultivation resources also happens from time to time for people in the immortal realm.

Many immortals will also stagnate their cultivation due to the lack of cultivation resources, and their longevity will be exhausted, and they will fall in helplessness and loneliness.

Immortals are like this, and the situation of mortal monks is not much better.

The opening of the Lingzhu Mountain Root Washing Pond is not only an opportunity for most people here, but also an opportunity to change their fate.

Only with strong enough strength can you live better in the fairy world and go further.

Therefore, it is not difficult to understand their gratitude to the Buddhas.

Even Yan Ran himself is grateful for the opening of the root-washing pool.

Therefore, bowing in front of the mountain gate is also full of sincerity.

However, after climbing the stairs, she felt that she had to kneel and bow once on each step, which made her feel a little too much.

Looking at the mountain ladder that didn't know tens of thousands of ladders from afar, Yan Ran couldn't help but ask, "Are we going to kneel like this all the time?"

Mingxin nodded.

Yan Ran frowned: "Can't we just go up?" Kneeling all the way, except for being tired and half dead, there is no point at all.

"This... Mingxin paused, "All along, everyone has been kneeling up!"

Feeling the hesitation in Mingxin's tone, Yan Ran immediately said, "Actually, we can go up, it's just that no one has done this before, right?"

Mingxin: "That being said, it's always more sincere to go up on your knees than to walk up, isn't it?"

Yan Ran shook his head: "This is not right, sincerity is not sincere, just kneeling can not explain anything." Believe it or not, most of these people only kneel themselves by watching others kneel. In fact, many people don't want to kneel in their hearts. ”

"If you don't want to do it, then it's not sincerity, and if you don't want to be sincere, why bow down? ”

Mingxin was stunned by Yan Ran's words, she also understood this truth, but...

"Everyone is kneeling, if we go up, doesn't it seem a little too different?"

Yan Ran: "What you said is the fundamental reason why everyone kneels down, and it has nothing to do with sincerity." ”

Mingxin: "Then what do you want?"

Yan Ran: "Of course I want to go up. ”

Mingxin looked a little hesitant: "Let me tell you, there are Buddhist disciples stationed on the cloud ladder, and if we go up, we may leave a bad impression on them." ”

Yan Ran: "They have a bad impression of me, will it have any effect? For example, they won't let me go into the root washing pool?"

Mingxin: "Not really. ”

Yan Ran: "Since it won't, then there's nothing to worry about." Besides, the Buddhists didn't ask us to kneel up!"

Seeing Yan Ran's resolute attitude, Mingxin didn't know how to persuade her, to be honest, she didn't really want to kneel up, not that she was insincere, but that she felt that this approach was too deliberate and formal.

Yan Ran saw that Mingxin was still hesitant and said, "You just listen to me, there will be no difference between walking up and kneeling." ”

After speaking, he took the lead and walked up the mountain ladder.

Heiwa and Xiaoxian looked at Mingxin, who was standing still, and went to chase Yan Ran without hesitation.

Watching one person and two demons stride forward, quickly passing over one person, Mingxin was horizontal in his heart, and he was not bowing, and chased after him quickly.

When they left, they immediately attracted the attention of others.

At first, everyone just exchanged their heads about this, but later, I don't know who started it, and began to loudly accuse Yan Ran and the four of being insincere to the Buddha.

In this regard, Yan Ran only regarded it as a deaf ear, and the speed under his feet became faster and faster.

Mingxin and the second demon followed closely behind her, and it didn't take long for them to surpass everyone and walk at the front of the ladder.

------

On the top of Lingzhu Mountain, in the lobby of Puzhu Temple, five Buddha statues suddenly shine, and in an instant, the hall is illuminated with golden light.

The standing incense in the incense burner in the center of the lobby also ignited at this moment, and circles of smoke quickly dispersed into the air.

The smoke poured out, and soon everything on the stairs was revealed in the smoke.

"After the root-washing pond has been open for so long, there is finally someone who dares to break the rules of the world. ”

"Most people in the world have bound themselves to themselves. ”

Lingzhu Mountain has never said to the outside world that they have to bow down before they can climb the mountain and enter the root washing pond, but the world thinks that it should be like this, thinking that this is a test for them.

"Everyone also wants to express their respect in their hearts. ”

"This respect seems that my Buddha clan is too harsh. ”

Tens of thousands of mountain ladders, without relying on any mana, only knocking on Biden Mountain with their physical bodies, no matter how strong their bodies are, when they reach the top, they will be tired and half dead.

In addition, the operation of the root washing pond is limited, and each time it is opened, it can last for ten days and a half months, and the time for washing the roots in the pond will be shortened if the time is wasted when climbing the mountain.

In this way, the gains really outweigh the losses.

"Buddhism has always paid attention to fate, how to climb the mountain, whether they can wash away the six roots, or depends on their personal fate. ”

At this moment, in the smoke, only Yan Ran was walking on the mountain ladder at first, but slowly, more and more people stood up.

"If there is someone to break the rules, more people will enter the root washing pool in the future. ”

"If the world is full of people who don't follow the rules like this, I'm afraid there will be chaos. ”

"Isn't the fairy world chaotic enough today? It would be good to have a few more characters who stir up the storm, so as to break the original pattern of the fairy world. After the chaos, there will be great governance, and the fairy world has been in turmoil for too long, and it is time to return to the right track. ”

"How easy is it to get back on track, although the Nine Heavens have shown signs of reappearance, but it will take until the day when the Heavenly Court is rebuilt, I don't know how long it will take. ”

"It's not far off! The Buddha of the Western Holy Palace has issued a decree, and the Lord of the Nine Heavens may have appeared in the Immortal Realm. ”

"Is that true?!"

Sounds of surprise echoed through the lobby.

"The rebound of our luck in the West is probably related to this. Everyone, get ready, it won't be long before people from other states will flock to you. This is a challenge and an opportunity for our Buddhist community. ”

"Obey the law. ”

"The Buddha ... Can you deduce who the Lord of the Nine Heavens is, and where does he appear in the West?"

"The heavenly machine is chaotic, and the Lord of the Nine Heavens cannot be calculated by manpower. ”

“。。。。。。 ”

The sound slowly faded away, the five Buddha statues darkened one after another, and the lobby returned to calm.

------

"It's finally here!"

Climbing to the top of the mountain, the scene in the line of sight changed abruptly, from the clouds and mist in the sky to a magnificent square, and in the center of the square, there was a huge round pool.

Glancing at the empty square, and no Buddhist disciples showed up to stop or accuse, Yan Ran looked at Mingxin with a smile: "You should believe that there is no difference between kneeling up and walking up now." ”

Mingxin: "It's not that I don't believe it, but I'm deeply influenced by my past knowledge and don't dare to break the established rules rashly." ”

Yan Ran: "Bad rules are used to break, you see we came up first, can't we enter the root washing pool first, how good is this!"

Mingxin smiled: "Yes, you're right. ”

"Let's go, let's go over and have a look. Is that the round pond a root-washing pond?"

Without further ado, Yan Ran and Mingxin walked towards the round pond in the center of the square with Heiwa and Xiaoxian.

Mingxin nodded: "Well, the root washing pool, also known as the six pure pools, you see, the steaming mist in the pool has six colors, they represent the six roots of people, eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind. ”

The six colors divide the root-washing pool into six parts, which are interdependent and distinct.

Yan Ran frowned: "Why do you have to wash off the six?"

Mingxin: "The six roots represent the six desires of human beings, the desire to see (eyes), the desire to hear (ears), the desire to smell (nose), the desire to taste (tongue), the desire to touch (body), and the desire (desire). Whether it is cultivating the Tao or cultivating Buddhism, they all pay attention to returning to the basics, like the desire in the mundane world, the less the better. ”

"The root washing pool does not mean that all six roots have to be washed away, but it is only to dilute and eliminate the miscellaneous desires in people's hearts to the greatest extent and make the heart more pure. In this way, people can better overcome the suppression of the six desires and not be controlled by desires. ”

Yan Ran: "If the six roots are diluted, you can refine the immortal bones?"

Mingxin: "Immortal bone casting, in addition to forcibly tempering through external forces, can also be tempered from the inside out through the sublimation of the heart. The purer the heart, the more comprehensive the laws of heaven and earth will be, and the more thorough the immortal bone will be. ”

"You may not be able to understand it now, but after you get out of the root washing pool, you will find how important the sublimation of the mind is to the refining of immortal bones. ”

Soon, the four of Yan Ran came to the root washing pool.

As soon as they got closer, the minds of the two of them and the two demons fluctuated, and various voices appeared in their minds, which disturbed their minds.

Yan Ran took the two demons and retreated, only to calm down his confusion.

"This root-washing pool is so domineering. ”

Mingxin also took several deep breaths before calming down: "The root-washing pool can reflect the deepest desires in people's hearts, and in front of it, no desire can be hidden. ”

Many times, people will hide their inner desires intentionally or unintentionally for various reasons, so that later, they forget about themselves.

After approaching the root-washing pool, desire is mentioned again, and the human heart is naturally confused.

Looking at the churning root-washing pool, Yan Ran said slowly: "Before I came here, I thought my heart was very calm, but I didn't expect to have so many desires. ”

Mingxin smiled: "People, they are born with seven emotions and six desires, which is normal." I, this is the third time I've come to the root washing pool, and I don't know, can I finish casting the fairy bones this time?"

Yan Ran was taken aback: "Have you been here three times?"

Mingxin nodded: "Yes, I also don't feel that I have any desires, but I can't completely cast immortal bones, my master told me that the time for me to become an immortal has not yet come." ”

"I don't understand, how can it be so easy for others to cast immortal bones, mine still depends on what timing is not timely. ”

Yan Ran frowned: "In other words, if you enter the root washing pool once, you may not be able to cast immortal bones?"

Mingxin: "This is my case, but for most people, once baptized in the root washing pool, the fairy bone will be almost cast." ”

At this time, after Yan Ran's four, several more mortal monks also came up to the square.

Several people went straight to the root-washing pool, and after getting closer, they jumped into the pool without the slightest hesitation, and quickly drowned in the six-colored mist.

Yan Ran: "There are so many people here, will this root-washing pool not be able to accommodate it?"

Mingxin shook his head: "No, the root washing pool has its own world, and no matter how many people can accommodate it." ”

Suddenly, Yan Ran's eyes flashed, and the person who had just jumped into the root-washing pool suddenly teleported from one color to another.

"What's going on?"

Mingxin explained: "The root-washing pool will judge whether the baptist's six roots have been washed or not, and when one is purified to a certain extent, it will automatically turn to the other. ”

"Like some people who have no distractions, they will come out soon after entering the root-washing pool, and those who have mixed minds will probably stay in the original place when the root-washing pool is closed. ”

Hearing this, Yan Ran exhaled: "I hope I'm not the one with mixed thoughts." ”

Wen Yanmingxin couldn't help but laugh: "Let's go, let's come first, but let others go first, I hope that when we come out, we will be able to cast immortal bones." ”

"I hope so!"

------

The root-washing pool first reflects people's inner desires, and then dilutes and purifies desires. It sounds simple, but it's not very pleasant to experience it in person.

Yan Ran first entered the domain of the root of the eye, and as soon as he entered, his vision was filled with all kinds of beautiful pictures.

The majestic scenery of mountains and rivers, the magnificent fairyland, all kinds of beautiful men who are graceful and heroic... A variety of attractive beauties are staged in turn.

Yan Ran watched it for a long time, and his mood was not affected at all.

After a while, the image in Yan Ran's vision began to blur, and then quickly disappeared.

Immediately, before she could react, all kinds of graceful voices came into her ears.

By this time, she had teleported from the realm of the eye to the realm of the ear.

The melodious and melodious sound makes people want to sink into it.

Yan Ran listened drowsily, except for the sound of the piano, her mood fluctuated, and she didn't have any reaction to other sounds.

It didn't take long for her to be teleported to the next realm.

At the same time, Mingxin, Heiwa, and Xiaoxian are also changing rapidly in the root-washing pool.

nasal area, a variety of seductive scents.

The tongue is full of a variety of mouth-watering delicacies.

The realm of the body, the contact of the body, the indulgence of desire.

The realm of meaning, the desire to touch the bottom of the heart.

Heiwa and Xiaoxian have very few distractions in their hearts, and they are the fastest to transfer in the root washing pool, and the only thing that takes the most time is that when they are in the tongue field, the two demons are tempted by all kinds of delicacies, and they are stuck in it and can't get out.

Fortunately, the two demons were quite firm, and after some struggle, they broke free from the temptation of food and came out of the root-washing pool first.

And Mingxin, like the previous three times, was stuck in the eye realm.

This time, though, something different.

The first three times, the scenery in her vision was blurry, and no matter how she looked, she couldn't see the scene as it really was.

But this time, she saw an incomparably clear, golden relic.

At this time, Yan Ran was teleported to the realm of consciousness, she did not stay long in the five realms of eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body, and thought that it would be the same this time, but she was stuck.

As soon as she entered the realm of consciousness, a fiery red road appeared in her sight, and this fiery red road was nothing special, except that it was paved by flowers on the other side.

Looking at the flowers on the other side around him, Yan Ran couldn't help but think of the scene of looking for the Leyin Immortal on Huangquan Road and the two of them joining forces to revive the flowers on the other side.

Thinking of this, Yan Ran's heart panicked for no reason, and he couldn't help but want to escape.

So, she began to run wildly among the flowers on the other side, but no matter which direction she ran, the flowers would extend forward, so that she could not run out.

"Yan Ran... ”

Just when Yan Ran was exhausted, a warm voice like a warm breeze came into her ears, quickly calming her inner anxiety and panic.

"Immortal... ”

Yan Ran looked at the lantern in her hand in a daze, and looked at her music with a gentle smile, feeling a burst of pain in her heart for no reason.

At this time, Le Yin spoke: "Yan Ran, what are you doing standing still, come here, I'll take you away." As he spoke, he smiled and stretched out his hand.

Looking at the hand stretched out towards her, Yan Ran couldn't help but want to get closer, but a voice in her heart reminded her to stay away.

"Yan Ran, come here!"

Le Yin beckoned to Yan Ran, and the smile on his face softened even more.

Looking at the warm smile, Yan Ran couldn't help but take a step forward, but as soon as he stepped out, he suddenly woke up.

'You have cut off my encounter with Meng Po, and I want you to taste the suffering of this world!'

The words of the immortal under the moon sounded in his mind again, Yan Ran's heart suddenly sank, looking at the music immortal, he shook his head and quickly retreated, and finally turned around directly, and ran back quickly.

"Whew, Whew, Whew~"

ran until he couldn't run, Yan Ran stopped, looked at the overwhelmed flowers around him, and sat down on the ground in defeat.

"Yan Ran... ”

At this time, the voice of the musical immortal sounded again.

Yan Ran turned back in horror and saw the music immortal standing not far away.

Seeing this, Yan Ran stood up abruptly and ran away without saying a word.

After repeating this several times, Yan Ran was shocked to find that no matter how she escaped, she couldn't escape from the flower road on the other side, and she couldn't get rid of the Leyin Immortal.

"Yan Ran, why did you run away when you saw me?" Le Yin's expression looked a little lost.

"I... Yan Ran didn't know what to say, just stood still in a daze.

Leyin: "Do you hate me?"

Yan Ran hurriedly shook his head: "No, I didn't... ”

"If you don't hate me, why don't you want to come with me?"

Yan Ran was silent again.

"Come, give me your hand, and I'll get you out of here. As he spoke, the Musical Immortal stretched out his hand again.

Against the backdrop of the red and fiery flowers on the other side, Leyin's hand was particularly prominent, touching the soft smile in his eyes, Yan Ran's heart was no longer so firm, and he slowly stretched out his hand.

However...

It's obviously close at hand, but the hands of the two just can't reach it.

Yan Ran wanted to catch it, but at this time, Leyin's figure began to retreat rapidly.

Seeing this, Yan Ran's complexion changed greatly, and he quickly chased after him.

However, the more she chased, the faster the music moved away.

One chases, the other retreats, in the ever-extending flowers on the other side, like two parallel lines that cannot intersect.

Time is slipping away little by little.

Outside the root-washing pool, many people who entered after Yan Ran and Mingxin came out, but they were still sitting steadily in the pool.
