The moonlight is like water, quiet and gorgeous.

As night fell, the mist of fairy spirits condensed into frost and dew dotted on the branches and leaves of the grass and trees, Zhou Bai sat on the bluestone, quietly looking at the hazy courtyard not far away.

The six-eared natal supernatural power is to spy on the heavens and the earth, although it is useless to an ancient power like Zhen Yuanzi, but it can also infer some things through the words of Qingfeng and Mingyue.

After hesitating for a long time, Liuer scratched his head and whispered, "Teacher, what do you think?"

Zhou Bai looked puzzled, and said with a smile: "What do you think?" In his opinion, these are all illusory nonsense, with the detachment of no space, after obtaining the permission of the Chaos Bead, his once vague memory is awake again, the past life from birth to the twenty years of travel, the memory of every day can be clearly recalled, for him, so many years of memories and experiences are the most real existence.

The Red Cloud Dao people are just a made-up character in their previous life, and even if they really existed, they had nothing to do with him.

He is Zhou Bai. He was convinced of this sentence from the bottom of his heart.

Reaching out and stroking the vermilion gourd on his waist, Zhou Bai looked at Liu'er: "Have you ever seen someone who 'snatched away'?"

Liuer nodded and said, "I've seen a lot of them over the years. ”

Zhou Bai said with a smile: "I have also taken away others, although it has only been a few years, but I have really felt the disobedience and discomfort when 'taking away'. Recalling the experience of Zhu Xianzhong, Zhou Bai said faintly: "One memory is overlapped and intertwined by another memory, but I don't know which one is true and which one is false, the trance of the soul gives people an inexplicable illusion, maybe both memories are false, and as a bystander, you are your own heart." ”

Liu'er blinked, a little unsure of what Zhou Bai was talking about, Zhou Bai shook his head and said, "That's it, don't say it." Tomorrow I will return to Jinao Island in the East China Sea, you follow Brother Zhen Yuanzi to practice hard, and you must not think in vain. ”

Hearing this, Liu'er pouted and said, "Teacher, I'm not the monkey who doesn't understand the world, you just have to rest assured." ”

Zhou Bai laughed, brushed his sleeves and got up, and said with a smile: "It's because you have too many distracting thoughts in your heart that I will tell you again and again, this time the calamity is coming, and the number of lives related to me will be affected, but 'the general trend remains the same, the small trend can be changed', you worship under my door, it seems that you have avoided the death calamity, but I don't know if the future has become a death calamity waiting for you, you still have to be careful in everything." ”

A trace of warmth flashed in Liu'er's heart, nodded vigorously, and pursed his lips: "Liu'er understands." ”

Zhou Bai's back gradually disappeared into the mountain path, and Liu'er looked into the distance in a daze, smiled bitterly, and walked towards the back garden of the village.

The cool breeze lasted all night, and the early morning was slightly cold.

A touch of orange sunlight sprinkled through the Wuzhuang Temple, a few wisps of green smoke and the chanting sound connected into a piece awakened the silence of the mountains and forests, and after the breeze and the bright moon finished the morning class, they came to the back garden door with a smile.

Mingyue looked at the half-hidden door in disbelief, and wondered, "Is the master already here?"

Qingfeng frowned and said: "No, when I woke up this morning, the old man just went out of the room, and he was also meditating in Yuntai in the morning class, and I never saw him come to the back garden." ”

The two glanced at each other, Mingyue stretched out her index finger and 'shh

But I saw that under the gloomy forest leaves, an emaciated man sat cross-legged, his breath was ethereal as if he was wandering into a foreign object, his blood was like merging with this lush ginseng fruit tree, his clothes and hair were crowned, his limbs and face were full of silver-white frost.

Seeing Mingyue's strange expression, Qingfeng poked his head suspiciously and looked at it together.

"This is Brother Six-Eared Dao, right?" Facing the sun, Mingyue saw the faces of the people under the trees clearly, and couldn't help but smack her tongue: "Although the aura in the back garden is much purer than outside, the gap between them is not so big, is it necessary to practice all night?"

Qingfeng frowned and said: "It is rumored that the six-eared macaque is one of the four monkeys of the mixed yuan, and it is born as an innate spiritual creature. ”

Hearing someone mention himself, Liu'er's ears moved slightly, and before he opened his eyes, he covered the entire courtyard in it.

Slowly opening his eyes, the hoarfrost on Liu'er's body faded like a tide, and even the wet clothes and hair were drying out in an instant.

"I've seen Qingfeng Daoyou, Mingyue Daoyou. ”

Qingfeng Mingyue only felt that it was dark in front of him, and the six ears who were originally sitting under the tree had already appeared in front of the two of them, and his bright eyes were like the cold spring of a mountain stream, with an inexplicable coercion and aura.

Thinking of the six-eared talent and supernatural powers, Qingfeng hurriedly pulled Mingyue and saluted back: "I disturbed the cultivation of the six-eared Dao brother, and I also looked at Dao brother Haihan." ”

Liu'er grinned and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I didn't sleep at night, so I thought about coming to the back garden to retreat, but it was already dawn in a flash, which disturbed the two Taoist friends." ”

Qingfeng said with a smile: "The master told me that the chores in the back garden will be managed by Brother Dao, and of course Brother Dao can come at any time." Stretched out his hand and took out a jade pot from his sleeve, handed it to Liu'er and said: "There is a formation shelter in the back garden, Brother Dao only needs to pour half a pot of water every day, this pot is refined by the master, and after the wake-up bell rings every day, you can go to the Five Elements Hall to get it." ”

After a pause, Qingfeng added: "There are five halls in the village, divided by five elements, and after pouring water every day, the jade pot will be placed in the next hall in the order of the five elements. Today it was the turn of the water hall, and after the Dao brother poured half of the water from the jade pot, he put it into the wooden hall. ”

Liu'er took it with both hands, nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice." ”

After the six ears finished pouring the water, they returned to the wooden hall with Qingfeng Mingyue, and Zhen Yuanzi stood in front of the hall with a smile, looked at the three people who came over, and said with a smile: "Zhou Bai Daoyou, if you can accept this apprentice, the poor Dao is also very envious." ”

After receiving the salute of the three of them, Zhou Bai looked at Qingfeng and Mingyue with his eyes and nose, and said with a smile: "Brother Dao, why should I envy me, Qingfeng and Mingyue's qualifications are also twin sons that are rare in a lifetime, and the two of them are like yin and yang, and the future is limitless." ”

Zhen Yuanzi smiled bitterly: "The innate spirit body, shackled by the Heavenly Dao, it is already very difficult to enter the realm of Taiyi, since the Dao Ancestor joined the Dao, there is no innate spirit body in the world that breaks through the Golden Immortal, for the two of them, I just want to be safe in the world and keep free." ”

After Zhen Yuanzi's repeated persuasion, Zhou Bai stayed for a long time, until he left for a long time, Zhen Yuanzi was still standing on the cloud platform in front of the hall, looking at the direction of Zhou Bai's departure from a distance, until the evening bell rang, he woke up silently, shook his head and sighed, brushed his sleeves and walked away.

Whether Zhou Bai is a friend of Hongyun Dao, Zhen Yuanzi can't confirm it, and he doesn't want to confirm it.

Instead of facing the reality of not knowing the result, it is better to face the illusion with half of the promise and half of the belief.

Zhou Bai had no reaction to the ninety-nine scattered gourd, but the scene of taking the ginseng fruit was exactly the same as that of the people of Hongyun Dao, and the reason was that even Zhou Bai didn't want to guess, let alone Zhen Yuanzi, who was deceiving himself?

Liu'er, who was passing by Yuntai, saw the lonely figure of Zhen Yuanzi, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, and sighed: "Teacher, do you think I really don't know?"

What Zhou Bai said to him yesterday, he remembered it in his heart, for the teacher, the Red Cloud Dao people are tantamount to the people who 'take away', whether he is from the Red Cloud Dao or not, in the eyes of Zhen Yuanzi, he is a substitute for the Red Cloud Dao people, this substitute can bring a lot of blessings, but it can also make people lose themselves and lose themselves.

This is the reason why Zhou Bai left in a hurry.

Thinking back to the woman in red he saw outside the city, the corners of Liu'er's mouth hooked up with a smile, "If there is such a beautiful woman with me, even if it is me, I don't want to pretend to be someone else." ”

......

Unconsciously, he became a person again, Zhou Bai walked against the wind, feeling an inexplicable chill, although he knew that Hongyu was still practicing in retreat, the thoughts in his heart could not be suppressed, I don't know why, he wanted to see Hongyu so much at the moment.

is different from his previous life, even if he was mediocre at that time, and spent more than 20 years in a daze, he also passed a photo and a certificate to prove the traces of his existence.

Since crossing the heavens, he has been fragmented in every world, with no past, no future, only a brief 'present', and when the so-called 'mission' is completed, it disappears as if it never existed.

Even after obtaining the permission to return to the void and possessing the Chaos Bead, this is the case.

The desolation is far greater than the sum of the worlds he has visited, and he is only a drop in the ocean in such a vast world, and only the red jade beside him proves the meaning of his existence.

At the same time, he is also giving the meaning of Ruby's existence.

There is no need to question the love between the two, and the various emotions attached to the love are also indescribable.

The sword gas turns into a rainbow, and the light is flashing.

A ray of quiet sword light flew by at a speed that could not be caught by the naked eye under the surprised gaze of all the monks and demons, and even the contemplative monkey under the mountain of the Two Realms was interrupted by the sword shadow in the air, looking up, with his fiery eyes, he could naturally pass through the clouds and mist, and see the people passing by, Sun Wukong frowned slightly, pursed his lips disdainfully, and withdrew his gaze.

Although he was born and practiced for only three hundred years, he has also seen a lot of love and love, and on the way to seek the Dharma in Xiniu Hezhou, he also met a few lay people who fell into lovesickness, and because of this, he was quite disdainful of Zhou Bai's expression.

In his opinion, freedom should be what the strong desire, as long as he obtains enough strength, he can be carefree and enjoy freedom, as for 'love', it is just an illusory thing, which will only disturb people's hearts and damage their mood.

As everyone knows, the Lingming stone monkey born from the spirit stone, the flesh and blood are as solid as a rock, and the reason why he can practice King Kong after three years of penance is that he is a stone monkey with a stone heart.

The hot blood can warm the surface of this stone heart, but it cannot touch its original heart.

This is the greatest help for his cultivation, and it is also his greatest sorrow.

Maybe...

Many years later, Tang Seng has been traveling westward for more than ten years, so that Sun Wukong's heart sprouts real emotions, but will the westward journey with Zhou Bai's intervention follow the established trajectory?

Walking all the way through the sky, Zhou Bai didn't care if he passed through the 'forbidden sky' land of other forces, but fortunately, Zhou Bai's sword intent was boundless, and no earth immortals dared to intercept it.

On the coast of the East China Sea, the place where the sea enters is the Suzhou-Hangzhou Zhenjiang River, on the delta in the heart of the river, an old monk's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help laughing: "Daoyou still dare to show up?" The boy's clear and transparent eyes, staring at the old monk's Buddha beads around the wrist, reached out and grabbed the old monk's thumb, the small palm felt the roughness between the old monk's fingers, and the boy kept babbling and pulling the old monk's palm, as if he wanted to climb up along the wrist.

Putting down the babbling boy in his arms, the old monk smiled bitterly, stuffed the Buddhist beads on his wrist into the boy's hand, and said, "Don't worry, the golden cicada will come when I go." ”

After getting what he wanted, the boy was obviously very happy, and seriously played with the Buddha beads about the size of his body, without looking at the old monk again.

The old monk shook his head and smiled bitterly, his figure flickered, turned into gold dust and scattered with the wind, and in the empty courtyard, only giggling laughter and a faint ray of Buddha light on the boy's forehead remained.

Heaven and earth shook suddenly, the clouds were dyed with golden light by the golden lotus that suddenly emerged, the Sanskrit voice murmured, the glow was shining, in the kneeling of the mortal people, a solemn look of the golden body of the law appeared, floating in the clouds.

The pale golden clouds are windless and automatic, condensing in the void into Buddhas and Arhats with different expressions, surrounding the Buddha statues, and calling the ancient Buddha on the lamp'.

Zhou Bai looked down at the power of faith that was constantly condensing, and couldn't help but smile and said, "If the ancient Buddha wants to kill me, wouldn't it be good to do it directly? ”

While speaking, Zhou Bai wanted to take half a step back, but found that the Buddha conjured from the clouds behind him had blocked the way to retreat.

The lantern burning method clasped his palms together and said: "Words can also be swords, and Taoist friends really don't want to fall into the slightest." ”

As a quasi-saint, he plotted against a golden immortal, and the reputation of the Buddha Gate would be damaged, if Zhou Bai was knocked down by him quietly, it would be fine, but he didn't expect the other party to go all the way east, and he was stunned to pass through two continents, so the act had already fallen into the sight of all parties, how could he make a plot?

Since it is not suitable for plotting, it is better to show the miracle of the Buddha's light, and in the sight of all mortals, as the ancient Buddha of the Buddha, kill a Xuanmen Golden Immortal.

Not only can you get what you want, but you can also damage the prestige of Xuanmen, and you can also recruit believers and open up the beginning of Buddhist inheritance in coastal areas. Such a multi-pronged victory is a good thing for him to the Buddhism.

And because there is a causal connection between Zhou Bai and him, outsiders have no reason to make a move, even if the Tongtian Sage is dissatisfied, he does not dare to make a rash move.

Again and again, not again and again, the first few times the Heavenly Saint made a move, the Heavenly Dao was already dissatisfied with him, if he shot again in front of everyone, he would openly disobey the Heavenly Dao, so that even the Dao Ancestor could not protect him.

Burning the lamp showed a compassionate look on his face, and sighed: "It was really amazing to appreciate the Daoyou's Zhuxian Sword Array that day, but I don't know how much Hongmeng Sword Qi is still in the array, can you escape today's catastrophe?"

The Hongmeng sword qi in the magic circle is left by the saint of Tongtian, which has its own fixed number, when he entered the formation, Zhou Bai had already consumed most of it, and after Guanyin entered the formation, he cut off an arm, and naturally lost a part of it, and now there must be little sword qi left.
