Chapter 128: The Ending?

The monk stood up, pointing to the sky with his right hand and the ground with his left, his eyes wide, and he quietly looked at the Demon Emperor Wu. 100,000 arrows fell along with the snow, and the land around the monk was instantly covered with arrows, and all the demons around him who listened to the sermon were also killed. After saying this, Ao Takiquan didn't say any more.

Ye Xuan, who was fascinated by what he heard, was in a hurry. "What about the monk? Did he die in the end? The golden body of the Dharma Abbot couldn't even stop an army of 100,000? I've heard a lot of stories, such as the power of the Taoist can smash the mountains with one palm, and the sword can split the sea, I feel that the monk's kung fu is not bad, and he should be able to block this arrow." ”

Ao Takiquan shook his head, "I don't know." There is no record in the ancient books, as for the problem that you said that the great power to split the mountains and break the sea, it is easy to explain that it can't stop the 100,000 army. ”

Ye Xuan looked at Ao Longquan in surprise, he could feel that there was no qi in her body, especially in the sea of qi, it was even quieter, not at all like what a cultivator should be, but it was such a woman who could say words that were easy to explain this question.

Ao Luquan smiled: "I haven't eaten pork, and I haven't seen a pig run? Have you ever seen an army of 100,000 together?"

Ye Xuan shook his head. He really hadn't seen it. Even if he grew up in Ye Mansion since he was a child, he only saw the guards in Ye Mansion, and there were only a hundred people. Of course, this is only on the surface.

"If there are more than 10,000 people, there will be no boundaries, let alone 100,000 troops stationed together. It was really a large army, and the bows and arrows shot by 100,000 ironclad troops could wipe out all the enemies in front of them. No matter how powerful a person is, he can't stop the ironclad torrent of the army. Mountains and seas in nature are dead things. Manpower is strong enough to a certain extent, and it can also be influenced, but the murderous aura and power generated by the 100,000 army together are not something that cultivators can resist in one fell swoop. Unity can even change the mandate of heaven, let alone cultivators under the path of heaven. Ao Luquan said with a firm gaze.

Ye Xuan was also stunned when he heard this. "In the powerful Jianghu sect, it can't withstand the army?"

Ao Takiquan nodded. "No matter how big the sect is, in front of the dynasty, it is just a group of rabble, as long as the country's fortunes do not decline, then the energy of the dynasty will suppress all parts of the territory to the death, and no one can make a mistake. After all, to a certain extent, the state is no different from the way of heaven. Especially the army controlled by the state, although it uses an ordinary demon clan, it may not be able to defeat the cultivator alone, but a group of troops, that can conquer the city. ”

After speaking, Ao Luquan said with a wistful face: "Although I also yearn for cultivators to fly to the sky, as if they can do anything, and even live for a long time, and have very strong power, but after all, they can only affect their own mentality, as well as the surrounding thoughtless heaven and earth environment, but if a person has no energy, it can't withstand the power of 10,000, 100,000, million, or even 10 million troops." The thoughts of so many people and the potential generated by them are equivalent to the oppression of the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, I have only heard of the mutual challenges between masters in the rivers and lakes, and I have never seen any sect in the rivers and lakes that took the initiative to find trouble for the imperial court. ”

Ye Xuan nodded. It seems that I agree with Ao Takiquan's very good analysis. After all, no matter how powerful a cultivator is, it is impossible for him to defeat the army. But this is also a head-on contest of strength, and as the saying goes, if you can't beat it, you can't run away? It is estimated that no one will be stupid enough to confront the army head-on. Even the generals between countries try to avoid head-on conflicts, and they all want to exchange the greatest victory for the minimum cost. Of course, when I think of this, I naturally think far. Ye Xuan came back to his senses and asked, "Did that monk die in the end?"

Ao Takiquan also said with regret on his face. "There is no record, there are rumors that the monk left unharmed, and there are rumors that the monk was killed by ten thousand arrows. It is also not recorded in the books. However, I believe that the monk left safely, but Empress Wu Cao arranged a small trouble for him. ”

Ye Xuan was also very disappointed in his heart. "I hate stories that don't come to fruition, and what you're saying is just your guess. It's so boring. ”

"I was looking at the scroll and you thought the same way, but now Miss Ben is relieved to see you the way you are. Ao Takiquan said with a smile. "I now know that the result doesn't matter because it's the process that's exciting. For example, I am very happy to see you curious about it now. ”

Ye Xuan looked at Ao Luquan's happy look, and also smiled heartily. It caused Ao Takiquan to be stunned. Said tentatively: "You won't be crazy because you can't get the ending. I can even laugh. ”

Ye Xuan stopped laughing and looked at Ao Long Quan. "You're right, I'm too sharp, but I already know the end of the monk. ”

"What's the end?"

"The monk is dead. ”

"How do you know. ”

"Because the era of the Demon Emperor has passed, and a dynasty has been drowned in the dust of history, not to mention the monks who were ordinary in the flesh at that time, even if the monk has attained success in Zen meditation and turned into a Buddha to the west, is that person who has become a Buddha still the original person? So now it seems that the monk has long since died. Since the monk died, it didn't matter whether he was killed by Empress Wu Cao or died of natural old age. ”

"Sophistry, being killed by Empress Wu Cao, then it means that he did not have the strength to block the strength of 100,000 iron horsemen, and died of old age naturally, which shows that he has the ability to turn things around. It's a generational power. How can you say that it doesn't matter!" Ao Takiquan said protestingly.

Ye Xuan said with a smile: "If the monk hadn't died, he would never have come to Nanzhan Zhou after the Empress Wu incident, and there would be no legend of him on the rivers and lakes." Then there is not much difference between such a person living and dying. If he was really killed by Empress Wu Cao's troops and arrows, he could be praised as a great hero by later generations of literati and scholars. After all, he was successful in learning Zen, openly manifested, and then died for the Tao. Die well, die glorious. After his death, the slain monk could also become a tool of public opinion for Empress Wu's enemies, hyping up the empress's brutality. And it can also be attacked by the next dynasty The dark evidence of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the death of a monk is not worthless. If you don't do it, it will be famous for a hundred years. So it doesn't matter whether this monk was killed by Empress Wu Cao or not, because the most exciting part of the monk's life had already been staged when he met Empress Wu Cao. ”

"I said you're a bit cold-blooded. You keep talking about power schemes, it's a pity that you are not an official. Ao Luquan ate the sugar gourd and looked at Ye Xuan with disgust.

"Haha, I'm not an official, what is more comfortable in these years than to be a mortal man who is dedicated to the Tao? Because I don't have anything now, so I can live without a heart, free and happy, but when I have power and wealth, I guess I will be tired of this. Only indifferent so clear-minded, non-quiet and far-reaching. Ye Xuan looked at Ao Luquan and smiled. Sometimes I say two classic words handed down by ancient Chinese sages, one is to meet the occasion, and the other is quite Zen.
