At this time, Ziling couldn't care about the sadness of the spring and autumn.

She was battling the wind and snow.

Snow is goose feather snow.

The wind is a howling cold wind.

Wind and snow are mixed together, and it is so powerful.

If Zi Ling hadn't been carrying a large bag of roast venison, he would have been blown away by the wind and snow.

Bingyang pulled Zi Ling, took a step back, and walked quite awkwardly.

Zi Ling said a little angrily: "This road is so difficult to walk. Old man Monmona, it can't be us, right?"

Bingyang turned his head and looked at Zi Ling with a smile and said, "Although Senior Mo has a poisonous tongue, he is actually extremely affectionate and kind. Since he knows that you have been poisoned, he will not sit idly by. This method of leaving the Xuan Realm will never be fake. ”

Zi Lingqi said: "Senior Mo has been paralyzed for a long time, how could he know that the method of leaving the Xuan Realm is in this snow-capped mountain where saprophytes have been found?"

Bingyang said thoughtfully: "Do you still remember, your master, Master Yuansheng's hometown, the distant mountain city of Jinzhou?"

"Naturally remember. Zi Ling heard Bingyang mention Master Yuansheng, and her mood was a little sad.

Before the two went to the ice field to find Meng Mo, they first sent the ashes of Master Yuansheng back to Yuanshan City for burial.

Yuanshan City is just a slightly remote town in the north of Jinzhou.

But Yuanshan City, in Jinzhou, and even in the entire Xuan Realm, is famous.

Just because of the unprecedented development of Buddhism in the city.

Magnificent temples, frugal and ascetic monks, and devout believers make this small city peaceful and tranquil.

Some determined monks who have attained the Tao have set out from the distant mountain city to preach Buddhism everywhere in the Xuan Realm.

Master Yuansheng is one of them.

This is the master-apprentice relationship between Master Yuansheng and Yuanci.

Little Master Yuanci, in the unaccompanied Xuan Realm, has been taken care of.

I also learned the wisdom of compassion and compassion.

It's a pity that the deceased is gone.

Leave Ziling's sorrow empty.

Bingyang saw that Zi Ling's expression was different, and hurriedly opened the topic: "This distant mountain city, do you find anything strange?"

Zi Ling sniffed and said confusedly, "What's strange? ”

Bingyang muttered, "The Xuan Realm has been isolated from the world for thousands of years. Buddhism entered Middle-earth only for hundreds of years. How did you say Buddhism came to the Xuan Realm?"

Zi Ling nodded, looking like he was enlightened: "You mean, how did Buddhism later be introduced to the Xuan Realm?"

"Exactly. Bingyang touched Zi Ling's head and looked approving: "Moreover, the Buddhism in the Xuan Realm is quite different from Buddhism in Middle Earth. ”

"Difference?" Zi Ling struggled to think about it, still feeling confused.

Bingyang chuckled: "Buddhism in Middle-earth originated in the Western Regions. In recent years, Zen Buddhism has flourished. Most Buddhist masters who practice meditation advocate poverty and indifference, and pursue the joy of meditation. However, I look at this Xuanjie Buddhism, the dojo is exquisite and solemn, and the monks wear red hats, which seems to be the practice of Vajrayana. ”

"Vajrayana? What is it?" Zi Ling couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he thought that he had also been a disciple of Buddhism, and now he really didn't know what to ask.

"That is, Tantra. I once saw the dojo of the monk Master King Kongzhi [17] in the Western Regions in Chang'an City. It is very similar to the temple in the distant mountain castle. Bingyang said with a smile.

"Oh. Zi Ling reluctantly responded: "Maybe it's just that the schools of Buddhism are different, what's so strange?"

"The strange thing is that Vajrayana has been introduced to Middle-earth, and that is in recent years. Bingyang frowned and said, "Where did the Tantra in the Xuan Realm come from?"

"I see. Zi Ling grabbed Bing Yang's arm in surprise and said loudly, "Master King Kong Zhi, is you a person from the Xuan Realm?"

Bingyang rolled his eyes helplessly and said, "You are quite imaginative and worthy of appreciation. ”

Zi Ling heard Bingyang's unfriendliness and glared at him viciously.

Bingyang blinked and continued, "Do you know where Vajrayana flourishes the most?"

"Western Regions?" Zi Ling asked.

"It's not the Western Regions, it's Tibet. "Bingyang Road.

"Tubo?" Zi Ling deeply felt that she should read more books at this time.

Bingyang smiled at Zi Ling: "Tubo is located on the plateau in the west of Middle-earth, and its culture is mysterious. In recent years, he has become quite friendly with Middle-earth. ”

"Then what does this Tubo have to do with the Xuan Realm?" Zi Ling still didn't know what to do.

"There is some strange connection between the Xuan Realm and Tibet. I suspect that the Dharma in the Xuan Realm may have been introduced from Tibet. Bingyang pondered for a moment and continued: "Senior Mengmo, the mysterious person who discovered the snow-capped mountain is the practitioner of this Vajrayana. But this person is very different from the people in the Xuan Realm. Therefore, Senior Mo suspected that there was a passage from the outside world in the snow-capped mountains. ”

Zi Ling raised her head and stared at Bingyang, looking extremely adoring. She clapped her hands and said, "Bingyang, I realize that you are quite wise. ”

Bingyang hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "You can realize my wisdom, which means that you are also becoming more and more intelligent." ”

Zi Ling said angrily: "You don't want to underestimate me. I am also of great wisdom. It's just that it's a little more low-key on weekdays. ”

Bingyang couldn't help laughing and said softly, "Then you can talk about your great wisdom." ”

Zi Ling blinked his eyes and said, "Senior Mo said that the mysterious person in the snow mountain is a person who cultivates Buddhism. How can you say that leaving the Xuan Realm is a life of nine deaths? So, I guess, it must be a misunderstanding on the part of Senior Mo. As long as we understand this mysterious man and move him with affection, he will be able to be merciful and let us go. ”

Facts have proved that Ziling's great wisdom is better to keep a low profile.

Although the mysterious person is indeed a Buddha, he is neither compassionate nor compassionate.

.

.

"You want me to let you go? "I finally met the legendary mysterious man. But as soon as he saw Zi Ling and the others, he split his head and covered his face, and this is the case.

Still in that yurt, bright and warm. The wind and snow outside the house are abundant, but the inside of the house is like a peach blossom paradise.

The only difference is that the mysterious middle-aged man of twenty-five years ago is now dying.

The old man was not surprised at all when he saw the two Zi Ling, who had gone through hardships and were embarrassed.

Zi Ling looked at the burly, but slightly rickety old man in front of him, and asked curiously, "Master, how do you know that the two of us want to leave?"

The old man was dressed in a yellow robe and a red mantle. His eyes were deep, wrinkled, but still cold. He clasped his hands together and said coldly: "You two, holding the divine sword, are obviously not from this Xuan Realm. Now that he has found this place, he naturally wants to leave the Xuan Realm. ”

Bingyang frowned, bowed his hand respectfully to the old man, and said loudly: "Master, since you are a Buddha cultivator, you naturally have great compassion. The two of us have a last resort, and we must leave the Xuan Realm. Please also ask the master to make it easier. ”

The old man glanced at Bingyang, and said unhurriedly: "It's convenient for you, but it's inconvenient for the world." ”

Zi Ling stuck out her tongue and said in surprise: "Master, is it so serious?"

The old man looked at Ziling carefully, and his expression was relieved: "It turned out that the old man had arrived." ”

Zi Ling was stunned, as if talking to herself, "Master, you also know me?"

The old man's eyes were cloudy, but they still shone brightly. He pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The poor monk had a relationship with the girl decades ago. The girl's emphasis on love and righteousness impressed the poor monk. It's a pity that the poor monk was unable to return to heaven back then, and the girl's soul returned to reincarnation. Today, I was fortunate to see that the girl was still scorching, and the poor monk was quite pleased. ”

Zi Ling was a little embarrassed, and said awkwardly: "Master, since you all say that I am an old man, then you can open the net and let us leave." ”

The old man's face turned cold, and he said coldly: "No." ”

Bingyang was a little angry, and said quickly: "Master, what is the reason why you have repeatedly embarrassed us?"

The old man was not angry, but still said slowly: "The Xuan Realm is the root of all evil. Our duty is to guard the exit of the Xuan Realm, and not to allow any evil to enter the outside world. ”

Bing Yang frowned, and said in a deep voice: "We, it seems that you are not the only one guarding the exit of this Xuan Realm. Master, who the hell are you?"

The old man's face was vicissitudes, but he was still unwavering, as if what he said was not his own business: "There are eight of us, and we are Venerable Geshe Juemi. Entrusted by Zampu[18], we have been on this snow-capped mountain for generations, just to guard the evil ghosts of the Xuan Realm. ”

Bingyang took a breath, respectfully hugged his fists and said, "It turns out that the master is a tantric monk. I don't know why I say that this Xuan Realm is the root of all evil?"

The old man snorted lightly: "At the foot of the mountain god of Gangdis[19] is the Vajra Hell. If it's not the root of all evil, what is it?"

Bingyang sighed for a few breaths and said to himself: "In other words, the exit of the Xuan Realm is just at the foot of Mount Gangdis. Therefore, the Xuan Realm is considered to be the place of hell by the tantric monks. ”

Zi Ling stood aside confused. She interrupted the two impatiently: "What mountain god, what hell? Master, just tell me, how can I let the two of you leave?"

The old man sighed and said quietly, "I am the Murramaniro[20] who guards the snow-capped mountains, and my duty is to guard the exit of this hell, and I must not let anyone leave. Moreover, the two of you, one of the meridians was severely injured, and the other was poisonous. Even if he is armed with a divine sword, he is not an opponent of a poor monk. Besides, even if the two of you get away from me, you won't have a chance to pass the test of the other seven. So, you two might as well stop thinking and leave quickly. ”

Bingyang was shocked in his heart, this master, at a glance, saw the situation of the two of them. The chances of being able to pass under him are slim.

I only heard Zi Ling muttering dissatisfiedly: "Yes, yes, yes, what room is this, what Master Luo." Your eyes are like torches, and the two of us are indeed old, weak, sick and disabled, and very desolate. You said that even if you win against the two of us, you will not be able to win. Why don't you cure the two of us first, and then we can be fair and even, how about a competition?"

Bingyang couldn't help but want to laugh, and was trying to persuade Ziling to be delusional. But I heard the old man sigh and say, "I have a way to heal wounds, but I can't detoxify." This benefactor's meridian wounds, I can help one or two. ”

Zi Ling was overjoyed when she heard this, clapped her hands and jumped up: "What room, what Master Luo, you are simply merciful and compassionate." ”

Bingyang showed a hesitant look: "Master, if you heal my meridian wounds, won't it pose a threat to you?" Master, it's better to think twice. ”

Zi Ling glared at Bing Yang fiercely, and said angrily: "Fool! The master agreed to treat your injuries, why are you still hypocritical?"

The old man smiled, looked at Bingyang appreciatively, and said, "The little friend is open-minded, and the poor monk admires it." I have only healed the moral people in my life, and my little friend is among them. ”
