"Shura is sleeping...... It seems that from tonight onwards, Lin'an will not be peaceful. Ran Zhong pinched his fingers and said, "Commander Dugu, tonight's task of guarding the four exits of the palace will be undertaken by our Cong Yunwei, and all the soldiers who guarded the gate and patrolled before will be replaced." ”

Dugu Xun was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "President Ran, I see that you are making a big fuss about it." ”

Ran Zhong said lightly: "There is no trivial matter beside the Son of Heaven, such a major event happened in the palace tonight, and it is not too much to do anything now." With that, Ran Zhong's figure flashed, and he swept towards the north.

Yi Bu was shocked and said: "Commander Dugu, this, what's going on!"

Dugu Xun really couldn't put on a good face, he snorted coldly, and said angrily: "What's wrong, what's wrong, something is wrong!"

Ran Zhong went to the north, did not enter the palace, but went straight out of Lin'an City. After leaving the city, Ran Zhong walked more than 20 miles to the north of the city, and came to a banyan forest that covered the sky and the sun, and then stopped. After Ran Zhong stood in front of the forest for a moment, he saw a short figure slowly walking out of the forest.

After the man came out, he saw a small female crown dressed in a moon-white robe. After the little female crown came out, she shook the dust in her arms and said, "Commander Ran, are you here to find Dongye Daoist?"

Ran Zhong smiled faintly: "Yes, it's really annoying." ”

The little female crown smiled when she heard this, revealing two cute and clever pear vortexes and said: "I didn't bother, Dongye Daoist has been waiting for Commander Ran for a long time, so follow me into the Rongya Temple." With that, as soon as the little girl turned around and walked towards Rong Shulin, Ran Zhong followed.

As soon as you enter this banyan forest, you can see that a crystal blue lake is exuding gentle light, like jasper, and like the west mountain in the early morning.

Vines hang down from the thick branches of the banyan tree into the water, and apes climb the vines and hang upside down to drink the water in the lake.

The little crown jumped forward slightly, and stood firmly above the water. Ran Zhong immediately stood on the water and said, "Could it be that Dongye Dao Chang knew that I would come early?"

The little female crown smiled and said: "That's naturally yes, Dongye Dao Chang can predict the heavenly opportunity with a finger calculation, and it is not a strange thing to calculate that Commander Ran will come." ”

Hearing this, Ran Zhong nodded and said, "That's right, if it weren't for that, the emperor wouldn't be so important to Dongye Dao Chang." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two white cranes, about a man tall, flying towards him from the depths of the forest. After the two white cranes stopped in front of the little female crown, they rubbed her upper body very affectionately.

"Commander Ran, it's Dongye Dao Chang Bai'er and Douzi who have come to pick us up. With that, the little female crown jumped up and sat on the back of the white crane.

Ran Zhong looked at the other white crane with a little black feather between its forehead and said, "I remember that these two cranes were only the size of chickens a year ago, but I didn't expect them to grow so big now." ”

The little female crown smiled and said, "Dongye Daoist said that these two white cranes are immortal species, so he often feeds them the elixir he has practiced. In the whole world, there is no such a strange white crane. ”

Ran Zhong nodded and jumped on the crane's back.

When Dao Deng, the two white cranes flapped their wings and soared into the sky.

"If I hadn't seen the ability of the Higashino Michicho, I would have really regarded such scenes as a dream. Ran Zhongrusi thought.

In an instant, the two white cranes had rushed out of the banyan forest with the little female crown and Ran Zhong and flew to the sky. Ran Zhong felt the white clouds within reach of his head, and couldn't help but feel as if he was in a different world.

I think it was a year ago, a white-bearded old Taoist was introduced to the current emperor by the prime minister of the current dynasty. The emperor and this old Taoist hit it off at first sight, and after the two talked for three days and three nights, the emperor built a Taoist temple in the Ronglin forest in the north of Lin'an City, and allocated 100,000 taels of silver for the Taoist temple every year for its expenses. And the white-bearded Taoist called himself Dongye, so he was called Dongye Daoren. At that time, after the head of Higashino Dao fell behind this hall, he accepted four men and four women as disciples.

At that time, there was an endless stream of dignitaries and nobles who came to visit the Dongye Daoist, but the Dongye Daoist people have always closed their doors and never met with others. But Ran Zhong was an exception, back then Ran Zhong thought that this Dongye Daoist was a demon who brought disaster to the country and the people, so he wanted to come to explore his truth. But after meeting, Ran Zhongfang discovered that this Dongye Daoist not only cultivated as a meritorious person, but also every word he said had the meaning of pearls. Ran Zhong was convinced, and later when Ran Zhong encountered something that could not be solved, he would come here to meet Dongye Daoren.

At this time, I saw a clear old Taoist who was dressed in a moon-white robe, holding a dust whisk in his left hand and a fishing rod in his right hand, sitting upright on the clouds.

Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Sit in the clouds and fish for the green dragon!"

After that, as soon as he threw the fishing rod, he heard a dragon chant from under the sea of clouds. A long dragon formed by the dense fog suddenly flew up, and the long dragon lifted Ran Zhong, who was sitting on top of the white crane, in one roll.

The white crane flew away, and Ran Zhong rode the cloud dragon to the old man. Lao Dao put away the fishing rod and smiled: "How is Commander Ran lately?"

Ran Zhong smiled and said: "In front of the Dongye Dao Chief, how dare you call it good or bad, isn't the word Tianji in the hands of the Dao Chief?"

This Qingjun old Taoist of the fairy wind bone is the Dongye Dao people. Just by the fact that he was sitting idly on the clouds a hundred feet above the ground, it was enough to get a glimpse of one-twelfth of his profound Taoism.

Hearing this, Dongye Daoren smiled and said, "Commander Ran is here, presumably it is related to the killing that happened in Lin'an City tonight." ”

Wen Zhong said lightly: "Dongye Dao Chang is really clever. ”

Dongye Daoren smiled: "This is not calculated by Poor Dao, but a disciple under the Poor Dao Seat went to the night market in Lin'an City and came back to tell Poor Dao." He said that on the streets of Lin'an, some people went crazy for no reason and killed people everywhere. The poor road expected that Ran Tongdao would come to find the poor road. ”

Ran Zhong couldn't help but sink in his heart when he heard this: "I can't imagine that such troublesome things have happened outside the interior. After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "Don't hide it, the people who went crazy in Lin'an City tonight should have been tricked by illusions." ”

"Oh, illusions?"

Ran Zhong said in a deep voice: "I remember the last time I chatted with the Taoist Chief, it seemed that I had heard the Taoist Master say about an illusion called Shura False Sleep, but after a long time, I forgot it. And tonight, I heard the words "False Sleep" again. ”

Hearing this, Dongye Daoren said lightly: "It turned out to be Shura's fake sleep, that's no wonder." ”

Hearing this, Ran Zhong hurriedly said: "Since the Dao Chief knows about this Shura Fake Sleep, then you might as well tell the news about this Shura Fake Sleep, and you can go and find clues in the next place." ”

Dongye Daoren stroked his long beard and said, "This Shura fake sleep is not an illusion, but a painting." ”

"Painting?"

Michito Higashino smiled and said, "Yes, it's a painting." There are 10 of these paintings, and they are collectively called the Nose Picture of Urua. Among the ten paintings, each of them is called Entering the World, Mixed World, Misanthropy, Blood Sin, Hundred Ghosts, Cold Domain, Becoming a Demon, Immortal Buddha, The Great Nightmare, and Shura False Sleep. ”

Hearing this, Ran Zhong had a slight understanding: "The flow of illusion always needs some medium to perform. For example, Zhuge Kongming's Eight Array Diagram is also this stream. Presumably, the illusion in the city of Lin'an, the medium relied on, is the ten paintings that the Taoist chief said. ”

Dongye Daoren nodded and said, "Not bad." ”

"So who made this painting, and who is it now?"

"Commander Ran should not be anxious, listen to the poor Dao carefully. I think it's been 70 years, when the ancient religion invaded the Central Plains, making the people miserable, and there were not a few people on the rivers and lakes who wanted to eradicate the ancient religion. But the demagogic illusions used by the Worship Sect were so powerful that no one could confront them for a while. At that time, there was a Zen master named Kuoan Siyuan, in order to resist their evil arts in the fight against the ancient religion, so he went to the ancient temple alone to study the Dharma. But two months have passed, and instead of preaching the profound study of Buddhism, Zen Master Siyuan has faintly shown signs of falling into demons.

As soon as Zen Master Siyuan settled down, the scene of corpses and wilderness and loneliness of all things would appear in his mind, which was really like a nightmare of Shura. After another seven days, Zen Master Kuoan Siyuan had fallen into the devil's path and could not extricate himself. In such a situation, Zen Master Kuo'an Siyuan waved his pen and painted ten paintings on the walls of the ancient temple, that is, the nose picture of the Monkey. And after these ten paintings were completed, Zen Master Kuo'an Siyuan fell into a boundless nightmare. In that nightmare, Zen Master Kuoan Siyuan was reincarnated for a hundred lifetimes. And the torture of this hundred lifetimes made Zen Master Kuoan Siyuan get an epiphany.

In his last life, Zen Master Kuo'an was a cowboy who sat on a green hill, and all the memories of his past ninety-nine lives flooded into his mind. Feeling the smoke of the past, Zen Master Siyuan of Kuo'an waved his pen again and drew ten paintings, called Ten Ox Songtu. Looking for cattle, seeing traces, seeing cattle, getting cattle, herding cattle, riding cattle home, forgetting cattle and saving people, forgetting people and cattle, returning to the source, and hanging their hands. These ten pictures of the Ten Ox with a tranquil artistic conception correspond to the ten fierce and vicious Nose Pictures of Ruoa.

Pictured, wake up from a dream. This hundredth life of Zen Master Siyuan is considered to be in the past. And when he woke up, the leader of the Baigu Sect, Ya Fei Dao, had been suppressed in Shaolin, but at this time, this worldly disturbance was already false in the eyes of Zen Master Kuo'an, and a hundred lifetimes had passed, how could he care about the disturbances of this life. ”

After the Dongye Daoist said, Ran Zhong couldn't help but ask, "How can the Dongye Daoist know so much about what happened to the Zen Master of Nakuoan?"

Dongye Daoren said with a smile: "Poor Dao has a deep relationship with him, if you have to say something, Poor Dao is living the one hundred and first life." ”

Ran Zhong pondered for a moment the words of Dongye Daoren, and was suddenly moved: "Could it be that Dongye Daoist is Zen Master Kuoan Siyuan?"

Higashino Daoist smiled: "It is one-sided to say yes or no, although people are, but the state of mind is already two." ”

Ran Zhong shook his head, he had never known much about the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, and at this time, when he heard the yes and nos in the mouth of this Dongye Dao chief, he had a headache. Simply, Ran Zhong said simply: "Then dare to ask Dongye Daoist, where is the Naruo Nose Diagram now?" When this sentence was said, Ran Zhong was thinking about it. He couldn't help but think, could it be that the one who performed that Shura fake sleep was this Dongye Daoist?

Seeing this, Dongye Daoren said: "No, after Zen Master Siyuan woke up, he copied the nose diagram of Xiao Ruoa and the Ten Ox Song diagram on paper. The Ten Ox Song Diagram was given to Shaolin Temple by him, and the Rhinoa Nose Diagram was given to a young chivalrous man he was quite optimistic about back then, Li Cunfang. ”

"Li Cunfang?"

Dongye Daoren smiled and said, "Could it be that Commander Ran and you Commander Cong Yunwei have not heard of the name Li Cunfang?"

Ran Zhong replied: "Naturally, I have heard of it, but I just think it is a little incredible." Dare to ask the head of the East Field, what is the effect of the Nose Diagram, and how can it be resisted?"

Dongye Daoist stroked his beard and said: "That Luo Ruoa Nose Tu didn't know that Poor Dao could still make people fall into hallucinations, but two years ago, when Poor Dao was traveling in Beimang, he once saw a hundred people in that village fall into madness and fight non-stop. Later, when Poor Dao woke them up, he asked them if they knew what they were doing. They just said, just now their whole village has made a fortune, they have become squires and rich people, and they have an unbeatable scenery, and they don't know that they are dreaming, and they are still fighting each other. Poor Dao was also puzzled at that time, so he searched in the village, and found a naked male corpse in the village, and the face of the male corpse was written with a painting, and that painting was the tenth picture of the nose of the Narua, Shura pretending to sleep. ”

Hearing this, Ran Zhong was incredible. Suddenly, he remembered what the soldier had said, and when he left the palace, he was not only wearing a big hat, but also wearing a mask on his face. Could it be that the mask is just to cover the nose of the Buddha written on the face?

Later, the poor path also studied it, and then I knew some of the ways of the Shura to sleep falsely. By the way, what will you do when you go back after Commander Ran for a while?" Dongye Daoist asked coldly, and Ran Zhong was slightly stunned and said, "When I go back in a while, I naturally want to meet the emperor." ”

"What about after meeting the emperor?"

"Naturally, I will report to the emperor what happened tonight. ”

Dongye Daoren nodded and said, "Then how do you think the emperor will reply to you?"

Ran Zhong was silent, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "The emperor's intentions, how can I, a small guard, guess it." ”

Dongye Daoren waved his hand and said, "It's okay to talk about it." ”

Hearing this, Ran Zhong said lightly: "The emperor will naturally deal with it impartially and formulate countermeasures. ”

"Then will this fact develop according to Commander Ran's thoughts?" asked Dongye Daoren with a smile.

Ran Zhong shook his head and said: "This is just my imagination, as for how it will develop in the future, it is naturally not something that can be controlled by just one manpower, and there will be all kinds of twists and turns." ”

Dongye Daoren nodded and said: "That's it, the effect of the Shura False Sleep Diagram is that it can make people fall into the illusion that they have woven for themselves, that is, in the illusion, everything you do is what you think will happen." If you fall for this kind of illusion, it is the most difficult to find a flaw, and it is also the most difficult to get rid of, because it is difficult for people in the world to free themselves from the dreams they have woven for themselves. But if the caster's own concentration is not enough, he will also fall into hallucinations, and will be devoured by the figure, and die very quickly. It's like the male corpse that Poor Dao found in that village.

And if the caster's concentration is strong enough, then he will be able to control the person who has fallen for his illusion and act according to his mind. As for the other effects of this Shura False Sleep Diagram, it is natural that there is, but the poor path is not known. As for the other nine paintings, what kind of means they have, Poor Dao doesn't know anything. And if you want to prevent you from missing that technique, you can only do it with the ten cow song pictures stored in the Shaolin Temple. ”

Ran Zhong was puzzled when he heard this: "If that picture is from the hand of the Dao Master, you can paint a few more pictures now." ”

Dongye Daoren waved his hand and said: "That picture of the poor road can't be drawn, only Zen Master Kuo'an Siyuan can draw it, and Zen Master Kuo'an Siyuan passed away after painting those twenty pictures." Poor Dao is the one hundred and first life, and the mood is already different, how can he make a painting? And it can't be done with a single painting, and there must be a corresponding exercise to assist in the photo. Now Commander Ran leads you to have only one way out, and that is to find Li Cunfang. ”

"Dongye Daoist should know that Li Cunfang is dead. Not only did he die, but his people also died cleanly. ”

Dongye Daoren frowned and said: "But how did Poor Dao hear that there is still a person in the Li family in Shuzhong who survived." ”

After hearing this, Ran Zhong raised his left hand with a broken finger and said, "There is one, Li Cunfang's grandson, Li Minji, the sword god of Shuzhong." ”

"It seems that Commander Ran has found a way out, so the poor road will not leave you, go ahead. With that, the cloud dragon under Ran Zhong swept down the cloud with him.

This banyan forest, which covers an area of more than ten acres, is actually made of a banyan tree. There are thousands of wonderful things in the world, no matter how unbelievable things happen, there will always be a reason for it.

When Ran Zhong returned to the palace, he found that the north gate of the palace was still guarded by the previous city guards, and they were replaced by Cong Yunwei. Seeing this, Ran Zhong's face couldn't help but be slightly gloomy. He walked straight through the palace to the main gate of Lizheng, where the accident occurred, but saw that the guards here were also the original soldiers.

And Dugu Xun copied his hands, squatted in front of Li's main gate, and kept sniffling.

"Bastard!" Ran Zhong snorted violently, but it really scared Dugu Xun. Dugu Xun stood up and said with a smile: "Yo, Commander Ran is back." ”

Ran Zhong was even more annoyed when he saw this Dugu Xun's unashamed appearance, "What the commander ordered you before leaving, can you forget it in a blink of an eye?"

Dugu Xun said with a smile: "Commander Ran, you have wronged me." I did as you said, but someone wouldn't let me!"

"Half a bite of the meal, the words are finished. ”

Dugu Xun smiled when he heard this: "Na Yi didn't know that he couldn't get out of today's matter, so he went to ask Han Guifei." Who made Imperial Doctor Yi the person who made Concubine Han Guifei, and Concubine Han Guifei was the emperor's favorite mother, as soon as this lady blew the pillow wind, the emperor disposed of this matter. ”

"What did the emperor say?"

Dugu Xun said with a smile: "It's not much, it means that our Cong Yunwei is not reliable, and we will be punished from top to bottom." The following person will be fined for three months, and I, the old turtle and you, Commander Ran, will be punished heavily, and one person will be fined for one year. ”

Ran Zhong was dumbfounded when he heard this, and suddenly, he couldn't help but think of what Dongye Daoist told him about Shura's false sleep. Suddenly, Ran Zhong smiled bitterly.

I secretly said in my heart that the world is not up to people.
