Chapter 027: Land Immortals
Ren Qinglian paused at his feet, and said in a deep voice: "Martial arts all the way, the master is the teacher, I have heard the name of the master's 'contemplation and asking' for a long time, the kid wants to replace the sword with his palm, and learn the master's high moves!"
Xing Zhutou secretly shouted badly, this Ren Qinglian achieved first-class martial arts with the help of Huangji Dan in just one night, how is it the opponent of Zhong Jie'an, he immediately laughed and persuaded: "The westward journey is imminent, the two heroes should be calm for a while." ”
Zhong Jie'an's eyes were blazing, and he saluted with his palms, and said, "The poor monk has an arrogance!"
As soon as the words were spoken, he took advantage of the momentum of the combined palms and slapped out with one palm.
In an instant, only a sharp whistle was heard, and the palm wind gushed out like a sharp blade, rushing straight towards Ren Qinglian.
Ren Qinglian's eyes flashed, and she clearly found that when Zhong Jie'an gave her palm, that hand turned red in vain, and there was a trace of heat on it.
As soon as his mind moved, he also slapped out with a palm, and went away with the strength of the other party's palm.
I only heard a loud "bang!" sound, and the sand and stones flew and swirled.
Zhong Jie'an's expression changed, his body was no longer stable, and he took three steps back.
Ren Qinglian smiled faintly and stood still, but the brocade robe on her body was blown by the strong wind.
Zhong Jie'an took a deep breath and said: "The magic of the benefactor is amazing, and the poor monk has seen it in person today, and he feels that his reputation is well deserved!"
Ren Qinglian laughed: "Luck, luck, if the master subdues the Huangji Dan, I'm afraid the kid will not be an opponent." ”
After the Nine Shadows Xuantong reached the subtle insight, his eyesight was simply amazing, and when he just fought, he found the brocade box exposed in Zhong Jie'an's pocket, although it was only a quick glance, but it was enough for him to confirm that this great monk did not swallow the Emperor Extreme Pill.
However, Ren Qinglian has been running the nameless exercise all night, and the internal strength in his body has all been transformed into attributeless true qi, although it may not be as good as Zhong Jie'an in terms of quantity, but it is more than one step stronger in terms of quality, even if the other party has swallowed the Huangji Dan, I am afraid it is not his opponent.
Although this great monk is disrespectful, he can admit defeat calmly, which has changed Ren Qinglian's perception a lot, and the two of them will have to help each other for a period of time in the future, so he is unwilling to offend the other party miserably, and he said this so as not to make the other party unable to step down.
Sure enough, hearing Ren Qinglian's words, Zhong Jie'an's face also looked much better, and he smiled: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!"
Although Xing Zhutou was surprised by Ren Qinglian's strength, he also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
At this moment, the big eunuch from the martial arts conference walked over.
first smiled at Ren Qinglian, and then shouted in his voice: "Xuan Ren Qinglian and Zhong Jie'an, two strong men, enter the hall!"
......
On the treasure hall of the court, Taizong ordered someone to bring the written scriptures, and printed the passage treasure seal, and then handed the customs clearance document to Xuanzang himself.
"Royal brother, today is an auspicious day for travel, you take this customs clearance document, and I will give you a purple gold bowl to facilitate the use of fasting on the way......."
When Taizong said this, the Huangmen official had already played: "Ren Qinglian and Zhong Jie'an are waiting for the order outside the palace." ”
Taizong said with a smile: "The road to the west is far away, there are more tigers and leopards and demons, I specially selected two masters for the royal brother to be a long-term servant for you." As he spoke, he said, "Invite two strong men in!"
Not long after, Ren Qinglian and the others were announced to the treasure hall.
Taizong's eyes froze, and he looked at Ren Qinglian a little stunned.
The eunuch who brought Ren Qinglian and the others in was good at the holy will, and stepped forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, this Ren Gongzi is young and promising, and he was the new master of the Sword Pavilion yesterday, and he is still the new pavilion master of the Sword Pavilion......"
Ren Qinglian first looked at Tang Taizong with a curious expression, and found that there was nothing special, so she set her eyes on Xuanzang.
At this time, I heard Taizong say with emotion: "Sure enough, it's a young hero!"
It's really Ren Qinglian who is too young, the young one is ten years younger than Xuanzang, although there are also heroic young people on the rivers and lakes, but if you talk about real masters, most of them are those who have lived for almost half a year.
When Ren Qinglian heard this, she put away her gaze and bowed lightly.
Although Taizong sighed, he did not forget to favor one over the other, and said to Zhong Jie'an: "Master Tanzong has been doing well recently!"
Zhong Jie'an put his palms together and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Master, his old man has recently participated in Zen meditation and realized the Tao, and he has been in retreat before the little monk goes down the mountain, intending to break through to the Nirvana realm. ”
The Nirvana realm of Buddhism is the Taoist realm of Jiedan, and then there are also the realm of the golden body and the realm of the heavenly Buddha, which correspond to the realm of the Taoist Yuan Ying and the realm of true immortals.
"Oh Buddha Buddha!" Xuanzang sang the Buddha's horn, Shaolin Temple's Tanzong Master he had already heard of it, but he didn't expect that his cultivation was already as profound, if it wasn't for the westward journey to learn the scriptures, he would have wanted to see and seek advice.
Ren Qinglian's eyes also shrank, and the cultivation level of the Buddhist and Taoist sects was mentioned in the "Netherworld True Scripture", but I didn't expect that there were already people in Shaolin Temple who were about to break through to the realm of martial saints.
Taizong smiled loudly, "My Tang Dynasty is full of talents, and I will add another land immortal." ”
said, and said: "Master Xuanzang went west to learn scriptures this time, and there were two Lao people to protect and take care of him along the way. ”
"Yes!" Zhong Jie'an nodded.
Ren Qinglian also bowed slightly.
Taizong nodded with satisfaction, and said, "I will send another strong horse to my younger brother, and add it to the leg strength of the long journey, so you can make this trip." ”
Xuanzang was overjoyed, thanked him, received the things, and took Ren Qinglian and the others to the outside of the hall.
Tang Taizong sat in a row and walked with many officials all the way.
Soon, everyone came to the Hongfu Temple outside the city gate.
Xuanzang has been practicing here recently, and several brothers and sisters in the temple have been waiting at the gate of the temple for a long time, and when they saw Xuanzang and his party, they stepped forward to take the clothes prepared by the brothers overnight and sent them to Xuanzang.
Ren Qinglian walked carelessly along the way, without any consciousness of being an entourage, and Xuanzang's luggage fell on Zhong Jie'an.
What he was worried about at the moment was how to survive on the next road to learn the scriptures, because in the original book, these two entourages of Tang Seng were caught by the monsters when they just left the Tang Dynasty and made a meal for wine.
Zhong Jie'an honestly followed behind Ren Qinglian, and the two of them competed for palm power, he was ashamed of himself, and his original arrogance had long been gone.
glanced at the bags he was carrying, stepped forward and took the clothes in Xuanzang's hand, and secretly said with a bitter face: It seems that this young master Ren is counting on all the way!
Tang Taizong also stopped at this time, and taught people to bring the packed horses, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, or handed it to Zhong Jie'an, who had just packed his bags.
Holding a wine glass, he asked Xuanzang, "Can the royal brother have a nickname?"
"The poor monk is a monk, and he doesn't dare to be titled. Xuanzang shook his head and said.
"At that time, the Bodhisattva said that there are three scriptures in the western sky, and the royal brother can refer to the scriptures and take the number, what is the number of 'three Tibets'?" said and handed the wine glass in his hand to Xuanzang.
Xuanzang thanked him and took the wine, but said: "Your Majesty, wine is the first precept of the monk's family, and poor monks don't know how to drink." ”
"Today's trip is different from others. This is a vegetarian wine, only drink this glass, in order to fulfill the meaning of the cannibal. ”
Xuanzang was helpless, so he had to pick up the wine.
Ren Qinglian saw this scene in her eyes, and she felt a little dreamy. looked at the honest Zhong Jie'an again, and then saw that he was chic, after all, he was a little unhappy, and stepped forward and said with a smile: "The master has ever drunk." ”
"Drinking and making a mistake!" Zhong Jie'an said, not knowing what he had in mind, and let out a long sigh.
Ren Qinglian knew that Zhong Jie'an was a ranger before he took refuge in Shaolin Temple, and he must have been able to drink, but looking at it, it seemed that there was still some story.
In the interval between the two talking, Taizong had already picked up a pinch of dust and bounced it into Xuanzang's wine, and said with a smile: "The days are long, the mountains are far away, and the royal brother can enter this wine: I would rather love a twist of soil in my hometown, and I don't love ten thousand taels of gold in my hometown." ”
Xuanzang looked suddenly enlightened, and after thanking him, he drank all the wine, and then thanked him and went out of Kansai.
It's just that Ren Qinglian and the three of them hadn't walked far before they were attracted by the gentle sound of the guzheng floating in the distance and stopped.
The sound of the zither is like silk, euphemistic and long, Ren Qinglian can hear it, it is the ancient song "Folding Willows".
He stood there for a moment, already knowing who was coming.
Sure enough, the voice came from far and near, and on a high slope in front of Hongfu Temple, Murong Xuan walked over with a guzheng in his arms, and smiled slightly at Ren Qinglian from a distance.
Ren Qinglian's heart was hot, but she didn't expect someone to come to see her off.
"Ren Gongzi, how long does it take for you to go back and forth to the West Heaven?" Murong Xuan asked with a smile, she changed into a daughter's outfit this time, under the sun, the green clothes with wide sleeves and long shawl hair fluttered lightly with the autumn wind, like a Linbo fairy.
Ren Qinglian looked distracted for a while, he hadn't seen a beautiful girl, but it was rare to see a woman with such a temperament as Murong Xuan, and he pondered for a moment before saying, "If you don't say it, it will take fifteen years!"
Xuanzang glanced at Ren Qinglian after hearing this, and soon closed his eyes and recited the Buddhist scriptures with the old god in his eyes.
Zhong Jie'an raised his head, looking like he was out of the world.
Murong Xuan frowned slightly: "How long will it take......"
"There is no sun and moon in cultivation, more than ten years of time have passed in a blink of an eye, the girl is kind-hearted, and she will have to be more careful when walking the rivers and lakes in the future!" Ren Qinglian sighed in her heart and admonished.
Murong Xuan was a little depressed, but when he heard Ren Qinglian's words, he smiled and said: "With Lao Gongzi care, Chang'an is over, and I will also go back to Jinling." ”
"People's hearts are unpredictable, so it's better to be careful. Ren Qinglian remembered that the helm of the Nishang faction was in Jinling City.
"Okay, I was originally here to send you, but it's you, mother-in-law and mother have said so much...... Murong Xuan laughed, took out an object and handed it to Ren Qinglian, and passed the sound into the secret road: "This is my family's 'Wuxiang Tiangang Finger', there are many demons in the West Heaven Road, I hope it can help you." ”
Ren Qinglian had seen Murong Xuan's finger strength, so she naturally knew the preciousness of this exercise.
"Everyone is still courteous, you also gave me a glove last night!" Afraid that Ren Qinglian would not accept it, Murong Xuan raised the rare glove on his hand and said.
Zhong Jie'an doesn't have Xuanzang's Taoism, although he pretends to be out of the world, but he listens to the conversation between the two clearly, and can't help grinning, thinking of Ren Qinglian's bandit, the secret way is true.
"Then thank you girl!" Ren Qinglian is not a mother-in-law, this fingering may still be a life-saving technique for him.
Murong Xuan's face was happy, and he said: "Then I wish Ren Gongzi can get what he wants, cultivate to the top of his martial arts, and go further!"
Ren Qinglian smiled casually, hugged her fists and said: "Thank you girl for your auspicious words, send you a thousand miles, and you must say goodbye in the end." We'll see you later!"
Murong Xuan hugged the guzheng and sang: "The willows are messed up into silk, and they are folded in spring." The leaves are dense and the birds are in the way, and the wind is light and the flowers are late ......"
Ren Qinglian waved her sleeves: "My husband is all over the world, thousands of miles away, Miss Murong, cherish." As he spoke, his clothes fluttered, and a group of three people disappeared into the vast high slope.
Murong Xuan's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he muttered: "Ren Gongzi is so free and easy, but this farewell, I don't know what year and month it will be......"
