Chapter Twenty-Three: The Return

The round monk sat quietly on the top of the Golden Scale Mountain for the night, meditating on what he had gained along the way.

Although the ladder on the Golden Scale Mountain was not presided over by the Immortal Court, nor was it the real Golden Scale Test, the countless demons along the way could not be faked, and it should be of much help to their own hearts.

This time, they tried to climb the ladder, and the only difference from the real Golden Scale Test was that they lacked the "Asking Stone" of the Immortal Court.

The "Stone of Asking Dao" is one of the foundations of the Immortal Garden.

Tao is a very abstract thing, it is like a huge treasure mountain full of treasures, waiting for people to pick up.

Whoever sees copper, aluminum, iron, and tin, picks up copper, aluminum, iron, and tin, and whoever sees gold, takes away gold, and whoever sees precious stones, takes away precious stones.

Today's Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism stand side by side, which is influenced by this "stone of Taoism".

Confucius and Mencius saw the public opinion, knew the public opinion of the world to create a saint, and the saint needed to feel the world and always cultivate Haoran righteousness, so there was a Confucian lineage.

The ancestor of Qingyun Sect saw Wuwei, saw the coexistence of yin and yang, and saw the gossip of the four elephants, so he realized the true sword of "turning ten thousand into one and ten thousand as one", and had a Taoist lineage.

The old monk of the Great Compassion Temple saw the Shura Hell, saw the suffering of the world, and saw the need to cultivate one's body diligently in order to exchange for good fortune in the next life.

Ruizhu Palace, on the other hand, saw the equality of men and women, the distinction between men and women, unwilling to submit to men, self-reliance and self-reliance;

Although each has different incomes, they always have their own gains, and it cannot be said who is right and who is wrong, but only that they hold on to one another, and in the world, there are countless paths to immortality.

......

The stars shift, the moon sets and the sun rises.

The dark curtain of the sky was gradually replaced by the morning sun, and a bright moon changed to a blazing sun, and the blazing sun shone brightly, and although it was still bitterly cold on the high mountains, it was already much warmer than at night.

The round monk sat cross-legged for the night and finally opened his eyes.

"Hahaha, I have nothing to gain, I don't go down the mountain, I don't go down the mountain. ”

The round monk stood up, stood on the top of the mountain, faced the Danya strange rocks, and the strange peaks of the cutting wall, and laughed.

He can laugh at nothing, this round monk really looks like a fool!

This is the truest thought in the heart of Yuan Xueyi on the side.

The round monk sat quietly on the top of the mountain for a night, and Yuan Xueyi was not far from him, watching the stars all night, and how the sun swept away the remnant stars and the moon at sunrise just now.

This round monk is getting more and more weird!

"Yuan Gongzi, is this waiting?"

The round monk saw Yuan Xueyi, stepped down the ladder, and came to Yuan Xueyi, although he gained nothing, he was in a good mood.

"Looking at you, I want to say no! However, I am indeed waiting for the Zen Master Yuanzhi to come down the mountain together. Although Yuan Xueyi didn't want to admit it, he still told the truth after all.

"That Yuan Gongzi is going to follow me, don't fall behind like last night!"

“......”

When the round monk said this, he had an expression of underbeating, how could there be any indifference and calmness that a Zen master should have.

The corners of Yuan Xueyi's mouth twitched unconsciously, and he had the intention of competing with the round monk on the spot, but after thinking about it, this round monk had always had this strange temper since the beginning of Yanyulou, and he should have been used to it, so he simply couldn't hear what the round monk said.

The round monk walked like a fly, and fled down the mountain, and Yuan Xueyi also inserted the folding fan in his hand into his waist and followed down the mountain.

He didn't want to be left behind by this dead bald donkey!

......

When you come, it is difficult, but when you go, it falls to the ground like a meteor.

The speed of the two of them is comparable to that of a goshawk soaring in the air, like arrows from the string, speeding straight down the mountain.

In a short time, before the day was noon, the two of them had reached the foot of the Golden Scale Mountain, where they had first ascended the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, there was a man and a woman.

The male is the thoughtless son in the blue robe, and the female is naturally Su Qingwan who is in the Ruizhu Palace.

They have been waiting here for nearly a day and a night.

"The two of you just went down the mountain at this time, and I think it's a wish to come to the top!

Seeing that the round monk and Yuan Xueyi were belated, Wu Sizi thought that both of them had reached the top and fulfilled their lifelong ambitions, so he couldn't help but congratulate him.

"Congratulations to the round Zen master, Yuan Gongzi. ”

Su Qingwan on the side also congratulated sincerely.

"Haha, it's true that you congratulate the Zen Master Yuanzhi, I'll be exempted, I'm still ninety-nine steps away from the top of the mountain, far away!"

This is not that Yuan Xueyi deliberately chilled the two of them, but to tell the truth, the last ninety-nine steps are extremely difficult, which is completely different from the previous difficulty.

Wu Sizi and Su Qingwan had never been to the top of the mountain, but they also knew that what Yuan Xueyi said was true.

"It's a pity that Yuan Gongzi is really a pity. Su Qingwan said with regret for Yuan Xueyi.

"Haha, it's too early to feel sorry for me, this time it's just a test to climb the ladder, a test of the heart, the real golden scale test, it's still half a year later, then you see, I will climb to the top of the golden scale mountain and be the immortal. ”

Yuan Xueyi was not discouraged by a single defeat, but was full of ambition.

The round monk who stood aside and didn't speak for a long time was at this time and said again, "If Yuan Gongzi wants to make progress in the golden scale test, then I'm afraid you have to replace all the beautiful concubines in your room with scary ugly women, otherwise, when you see a beautiful beauty like Miss Su every day, how can you still be intoxicated with the right path, let alone the golden scale turning into a dragon." ”

"This is not to work for the round quality of the Zen master to bother, my concubines, although the name of the concubine, but I am willing to treat them like wives, do not dare to give up, the Temple of Great Compassion pays attention to asceticism, my generation of scholars pay attention to the word faith, they both entrust the delicate body to me, if I lose them, how to be worthy of their conscience, lose their conscience, and what to raise their own Haoran righteousness. ”

"Moreover, didn't the Yuanzhi Zen Master say on the Yanyu Tower the day before that the asceticism of the Great Compassion Temple only requires his own body, and does not force others to follow the penance, why, the Yuanzhi Zen Master forgot?"

"Amitabha, the little monk was rude, just climbed to the top of the mountain, and now he only has his own way in his eyes, thinking that he has the truth that is unbreakable, it is the little monk who is obsessed, and he forgot that Yuan Gongzi also has his own way to go!"

"Haha, it's good that the round Zen master understands!"

Yuan Xueyi said, arched his hand, and said: "I have to go back to Beijing to prepare for the spring of next year, so I won't stay here longer, the mountains and rivers are long, and we will have a period later." ”

Yuan Xueyi stepped on his feet, shook the folding fan in his hand, said goodbye to the three of them, and really left!

"What about the thoughtless leader, what are your plans?"

Seeing Yuan Xueyi walking away, Su Qingwan, as the landlord, couldn't help but ask Wusizi on the side, and Wusizi already had the intention to go.

"Poor Dao also wants to leave this place and travel all over the world, hoping to take the opportunity of preaching in the world, understand his own cause and effect, and prepare for the Golden Scale Test in the coming year, at least, to go further, don't let the world see my Qingyun Sect's jokes!"

Wu Sizi said, and then said goodbye to Su Qingwan and the round monk one by one, and left.

The round monk saw that Yiru had left one after another, and he had nothing to do in the city of smoke and rain, so he also planned to leave.

However, before leaving, he thought that his small half bag of broken tea leaves had been thrown out by himself with his fingers, and he threw it cleanly, so he was cheeky and asked Su Qingwan for a small half bag of Biluochun tea leaves.

In the smoke and rain building, the round monk carefully put away the cloth bag containing the tea leaves, and then showed a mouthful of white teeth, and said goodbye to the beautiful and graceful Su Qingwan with a smile.

Su Qingwan looked at the round monk who left satisfied, but her brows were locked in sorrow.

Because, among the four major sects, she is the worst in strength, although she has always been ranked like this for thousands of years, but this time, the gap between her and them is too much.

Wu Sizi didn't want to insult Qingyun Sect, how could she want to insult Ruizhu Palace.

The most important thing is that she doesn't want to lose to a few of them.

Su Qingwan secretly made up her mind to get rid of her inner demons in this short period of half a year, and set foot farther on the Golden Scale Mountain to the top of the mountain.

She stood in front of the window of the Yanyu Building, looking at the blue lake.

Thousands of sails raced in the lake, there were boats in front and boats behind, she felt a little annoyed, so she simply closed the window and closed the mountains and rivers outside the house.

......

On the closed window, at the head of the smoke and rain building, a goshawk from nowhere suddenly hissed and screamed, flapped its powerful wings, rose against the wind, flew to the blue sky, and flew all the way in the direction of Shangjing.

The eagle's eyes were heroic and sharp, like hooks on its mouth.

On its lap, I don't know who carried a tube of letters.

What was written in the letter was the result of the four of them trying to climb the ladder.

The goshawk will send the letter to the six doors of Shangjing, and the pen in the six doors of the Wu Dynasty will write out today's events, and publish them on the "Exploration of Martial Arts" compiled by the six gates, and distribute them throughout the country through major post stations.

There are many people who are waiting for news.
