Chapter 180: Dusty Heart

Li Xuan was surprised and asked, "Who can have such a skill to injure the Flying Wing Peng Bird?"

Hearing this, the Zen Master Zhizong, who had been silent for a long time, said slowly: "Are those two holes as big as fists, and there are burn marks around them?"

Ling Longqi said: "When has the master seen the injury of the Flying Winged Peng Bird?" Zen Master Zhizong shook his head and said: "I haven't seen it, but I know that three or four years ago, someone invented a strange firearm, called a copper tube fire bomb, which is to add a black medicine to a strong copper tube and put it into an iron egg the size of a thumb. www.biquge.info It is said that this black medicine is powerful, it will burn when it encounters fire, and if it burns, it will explode, not only can it burn the nearest, but the force generated by its explosion can push the iron egg out and quickly hit the target. ”

Li Xuandao: "There is such a strange thing in the world, who is the inventor?"

Before Zen Master Zhizong could respond, Zen Master Zhixing took over the words and said: "It is said that it was realized by the alchemy of Nangong Zhenshi, the lord of the Medicine King Valley. ”

Li Xuan was taken aback and muttered, "How come it is the Medicine King Gu Nangong True Master again!" After a pause, he asked Ling Long: "If you analyze it from the words written on Jinpa, it should be that Sister Shui and a few people were intercepted and couldn't join Miss Rou, so they asked Xiangyun Peng Bird to go and deliver the letter...... But the water sisters didn't expect that before the Xiangyun Peng bird could fly, it was injured by the brass fire bomb set up by the other party halfway. But Xiangyun Peng Bird was injured, why didn't he return to Sister Shui, but instead flew to the side of Shaomu Mountain?"

Ling Long listened to his analysis and said curiously: "Yes, why is this?"

Li Xuan groaned: "Xiangyun Peng Bird is extremely spiritual, since it is injured, it will not be willing to seek far. It knew that it would not be able to fly far after being injured, so it had to fly back to Shaomuro Mountain to join the Aofeng Pengniao. Therefore, it can be concluded that Sister Shui was blocked by someone at a great distance from Mt. Shaomuro, while Miss Rou was trapped near Mt. Shomuro. Who knows where the Flying Goose Valley is?"

Zen Master Zhicong said: "From this three hundred and twenty-four miles to the south, after a large area of dense forest, the first big valley deep in the north and south is the Flying Wild Goose Valley. ”

Miss Ling Long pondered, "Earlier, Miss Rou was in the south, and Sister Shui was in Shaomu Mountain. Now, Sister Shui is in Feiyan Valley, but Miss Rou is nearby? Aren't they being led around by each other's noses...... It seems that the other party wants to divide and break it!"

Li Xuan sighed: "Without further ado, I need to go down the mountain immediately." Alas, you should find Miss Rou quickly, don't let the other party hurt her!"

When the Zen Master Zhizong heard this, he said solemnly: "One is in the distance and the other is in the near, which one to save first?" Li Shaoxia, this is Shaomu Mountain, and no one is more familiar with this place than us! Therefore, if you find Shi Wanrou's benefactor, you can leave it to us, and you will go to the aid of Feiyan Valley first. This will be safer!" After speaking, he turned his head to Zen Master Zhixing and said, "Senior brother will go back to the temple first, explain my plan to the presiding officer of Zhixing, and at the same time ask the warrior monks of the Luohan Hall to strengthen their vigilance to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the gap to sneak into the temple and make trouble." Senior Brother Zhicong, you quickly go back and find Senior Brother Zhimu, and gather the eight disciples of the Prajnado Hall to patrol outside the temple...... And after we find the people of the Tibetan Sword Villa, we can set off for Mount Tai immediately without delay. ”

Li Xuan saw that the Zen master of Zhizong was calm and dignified, his ability to adapt to changes was strong, and his thinking was thorough, as straight as the master of a gang, and he exclaimed: "It's so annoying to the master...... It has alarmed you, so it's best not to delay the meeting arranged by the regretful host!"

Zen Master Zhizong smiled slightly and said: "If the donor Shi Wanrou of the Tibetan Sword Villa is injured around Shaomu Mountain, and Shaolin does not move, the Buddha will also be disgusted...... Don't worry, the young man will not be too late to leave for the meeting, and he will not miss a big event. After finishing speaking, his hands were folded, the Buddha was proclaimed, and his big sleeves were fluttering, and the two monks of Zhixing and Zhicong hurriedly went down the mountain.

Li Xuan packed up his package and was about to beckon Ling Long to leave quickly, but he heard her mutter: "Master Zhizong is steady and decisive, he really deserves to be the 'Flying Leopard General' of the previous dynasty!" He secretly said in his heart: "It turns out that Zen Master Zhizong was a general before he became a monk! No wonder every time I see him, I always feel that the powerful aura he contains is different from that of other monks in Shaolin Temple." ”

After the three monks of Zhizong left, Li Xuan and Ling Long hurried down the mountain, but Xiangyun Flying Winged Peng Bird was injured, although Ling Long had to be treated with his skillful hands, but he needed to be accompanied by Soaring Wind Flying Winged Peng Bird. Therefore, the two of them did not have the help of the divine bird that knew the way and flew very fast, but they could only ride to the Flying Wild Goose Valley. Although the road to the south is not a smooth road, but it is not difficult to walk, the two urged the horse to hurry, less than half a day to run more than 200 miles, seeing that the front began to appear high mountains and mountains, the crotch of the horse is also unable to support, then abandon the horse to rest for a while, start the light work and continue to run. The mountain road is gentle, the wind is whistling, and the earth is silent.

During the break, Ling Long said to Li Xuan: "Zhizong Zen teacher is strong and martial by nature, and he became a monk to avoid disaster...... He is willing to help you, but he really treats you as a friend. ”

Li Xuan said: "I can see it." In fact, there is no contradiction between Buddha and martial arts, and the evaluation of the cultivation of Buddhas really cannot be one-sided. However, such as the Bodhidharma Zen Master, the Buddha and the martial arts have been transformed into the realm, it is indeed the only one in the ages, and it is difficult to find it in a hundred years! Fortunately, Shaolin now still has such a high monk who repents and presides, so Shaolin can be famous all over the world, and the incense is endless!"

Ling Long heard him mention the repentant host, and said after a while: "The repentant host does have the demeanor of a generation of monks. But with his experience, cultivation, and wisdom, it is impossible to deduce that Hu Shanye is not my father. Why did he lie to you?"

Li Xuan said: "This matter is really puzzling. But I think each sect has its own rules and secrets. Shaolin has experienced the rise and fall, and there is a tragic period when Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty slaughtered all the monks. At present, although the Great Sui Dynasty respects the monks and Taoists, but in recent years, the world has been heavy and chaotic, so people's hearts fluctuate, although it may not affect the heart of cultivating Buddhism, but it also gives some troublemakers an opportunity to take advantage of. These troublemakers have nothing to do all day long, because they do not work hard, they do not have enough food and clothing, but they have resentment, and they always want to take advantage of the gradual confusion of people to destroy their inherent beliefs. Although their purposes are varied, most of them are to harm others and themselves, and to satisfy a momentary despicable and shameless heart!

Imagine, if the people of the rivers and lakes know that Shi Xuangang, who knows his legal name, as the junior disciple of several eminent monks who know repentance, ignorance, knowledge, and knowledge, not only did something to induce Hu Shanye to seek personal interests for himself, but also left offspring with others, it will definitely stir up a thousand waves with one stone. I think that when the penitent Zen master lied to me, he was either confused or deliberately pretended to be confused, so that he, as the presiding officer, did not know about the old things...... Moreover, he was able to take the initiative to mention this matter to me outside of Shaolin, which shows that the firm consolidation in his heart has slowly opened. Well, he must have his own unspeakable troubles. ”

When Ling Long heard this, he sighed silently for a while: "As the head of a faction, the repentant presiding officer may not be able to cultivate because of too many complicated affairs, but now if he can return to his original heart, he will definitely become a generation of holy monks...... But I still don't understand, when Shi Xuan first did these things, he was no longer a Shaolin disciple, could it be that people on the rivers and lakes still want to ...... Is it pushed to Shaolin and linked to the Dharma? If that's the case, then the purpose is really not pure. ”

Li Xuan also let out a long sigh, as if he wanted to spit out the unhappiness in his heart about the rivers and lakes, and said slowly: "The people of the rivers and lakes don't care about this." Don't say that they don't know the truth, and even if they know the truth of the matter, they will still make noise. And the repentant host and the people of Shaolin are all people who are cultivators, and they can't always babble explanations when they meet people. Therefore, it is only time to choose an opportunity to justify. ”

Ling Long nodded and said, "Before a person who meditates becomes a holy monk, he is actually a human being, an ordinary person. And as a living cultivator, who can completely extinguish the seven emotions and six desires...... It is often said that meditation is an extremely arduous process, and the hardships and hardships during this period must be like getting old, and when the black hair is slowly boiled into white hair, and the things that are not understood are understood, and the reason that is not understood, the mind will naturally calm down, and then it may be the right result!"

She paused and said: "In fact, the repentant host can also choose to be silent, and if you don't say it, you can say it, so that people with malicious intentions have nowhere to exert their strength." ”

Li Xuan shook his head and said, "Although silence is a method, it is better to say it." Just like Ling Juran's predecessors, after Shi Feiyang left, she chose to be silent, and used silence to erase the scars in her heart, but the more she grinded, the more painful it became, but in the end, she grinded out the three chapters of your Ling family's covenant. If you don't want to die in silence, you must explode in silence. ”

Ling Long said thoughtfully: "Although I have always understood what happened to Ancestor Ling back then, I have never understood the strange rules she left behind. The midnight breeze is clear, and I sometimes think about it, the ancestor of Ling seemed to let go of his love with Shi Feiyang lightly, but in fact, he didn't ...... You must know that there must be hatred of the sea under the world, so from the three chapters of rules she left behind, you can already see the waves of hatred in the sea! Over the years, in order to abide by the rules, my mother has endured the misery in her heart, not only wasting her fair years in vain, but also in order to continue the Ling family's incense, she has to choose the stone ...... Xuan Gang was destined, and finally died depressed when I was still an adult. I can't be like her, if the rules are good, I will obey them, and if the rules restrict freedom, I will break them. Li Gongzi, I don't want to lock my inner yearning with the shackles of 'destined people'. I'm going to go out, starting today, to go out and see the world outside. ”

When Li Xuan heard this, he stroked his palm and praised: "What a 'don't lock your heart'! Miss Ling, have you really figured it out now?"

Seeing Ling Long nodded, he suddenly realized something, and said with a smile: "You don't plan to go back this time? This is against the rules of the Ling family." ”

Ling Long interrupted with a smile, "Of course I don't plan to go back. In the past few days, you have been practicing hard in a mountain hut without sleeping or eating, while I am constantly struggling to break through my inner confusion in the stone room in the middle of the mountain. To this day, I am determined to wash away the three miserable, helpless, and drifting words of 'sojourner'. I want to get out of Shaomu Mountain, and I want to go to the vast rivers and lakes like a fish. Even if I have no support and no future to rely on, I will take this step firmly. As he spoke, he took out the dragon scale fish bead and handed it to Li Xuan, saying, "This bead is really the first treasure in the world, and now I have returned to Li after the pearl!"

Li Xuan put the dragon scale fish bead into his arms and laughed heroically: "Although the rivers and lakes are a place full of colorful dreams, they are also a big river flowing with colorful colors. You live in Shaomu Mountain, listen to Sanskrit music in the morning, hear the bells at dusk, you have always been clean, can you be ready to be splashed and stained?" Ling Longjiao smiled: "Of course...... I don't want to inherit the grievances between the Ling family and the Shi family, not to mention that Shi Wanrou is still my aunt. If I don't come to save her, I'm really sorry for Shi ...... Shi Xuangang, and my mother, who was struggling with her life, have been delayed for a long time. ”

As the two of them were talking, they came to a large forest.

This lush forest is extremely wide, stretching for about a dozen miles. Some huge black and white stones are interspersed with them, like the majesty of the gods and giants. Li Xuan saw that the leaves of the dense forest had fallen, and the dense branches were like countless sharp arrows shooting into the sky, the wind swept by, the branches shook wildly, and the bleak and lonely earth was filled with a desolate and uneasy strange atmosphere.

Ling Long unconsciously stopped, looked around, and asked, "Why did my heartbeat suddenly increase before I reached the Flying Wild Goose Valley?"

Li Xuan nodded lightly and said slowly, "I feel this way too...... Hey, you see how there is fire and smoke rising in the depths of the dense forest, could it be that the water sisters are entangled by their opponents...... Miss Ling, let's go over and have a look!"

As the two of them were talking, they heard the whistling of the smoke rising, followed by a clash of blades and shouts and curses. Li Xuan and Ling Long didn't dare to delay when they heard the sound, and they started their light work, swept over the branches like the wind, and ran straight towards the place where the fire smoke rose.

As I saw that it was getting closer and closer, the smell of fireworks wafting around the dense forest was getting stronger and stronger, and the sounds of shouting, fighting, and scolding were not only getting more and more urgent, but also clearly distinguishable. Sure enough, there was a woman fighting in it! Although Ling Long was anxious, because of the staggered branches of the dense forest, even if he jumped on the branches and ran quickly, it was still difficult to increase his speed to the fastest. And Li Xuan is not what it used to be at this time, his internal force is strong and mellow, and only a few ups and downs will drop Ling Long by thirty or fifty zhang. Ling Long was surprised and delighted when he saw that Li Xuan's internal strength was improving, and said secretly: "In just over twenty days, he has gone from dying to being reborn, and he is as magical as breaking out of a cocoon and turning into a butterfly. ”

The two of them rushed to the fireworks in the dense forest one after the other, only to see a huge circular clearing suddenly appear in the originally dense forest. The clearing was set on fire in the south, north, and west directions, and more than a dozen black-clothed men armed with iron spears more than two feet long kept driving away and blocking the three or five women who rushed outward through the burning dead branches and wood sections. And Dongfang, the only one that was not on fire, was firmly blocked by more than a dozen other black-clothed people. One of the flowing figures in white was fighting with a thin and short man in black. The Hokage smoke, white and black, swords and fists, fierce and weird.

Li Xuan saw that Sister Shui, Sister Lan, and Sister Yu in the fire circle were tied to three huge wooden stakes respectively. Mafu Han Zishan seemed to be injured, his face was pale, and his right arm was bleeding uncontrollably, but he still didn't care about loosening the ties for the three of them, and the few women who rushed out but were blocked back were none other than Sister Mei, Sister Ju, Aunt Shu and others. Seeing this, Li Xuan secretly said in his heart: "Who is this black figure? Could it be the master of Zhuge Dongfang and the wine monk...... Since Sister Mei and Aunt Shu are here, the white figure must be Miss Shi Wanrou!"

Seeing the urgency, Ling Long was about to jump out, but was grabbed by Li Xuan's outstretched hand. Ling Long looked at Li Xuan in surprise, and saw that he was pointing around and said to himself, "The praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind...... At this time, there were many people approaching a hundred and ten zhang away. Ling Long was taken aback, but he listened attentively, and felt that only the sound of the wind passed by his ears, how could there be the sound of human tracks!

After Li Xuan's words were finished, he turned his head to look at the two people fighting in the field, and found that the two of them had amazing martial arts, and between the staggered back and forth, they couldn't see their moves at all.

He was watching in amazement, when he heard the black-clothed figure look up to the sky and laugh a few times, its voice was hoarse and ugly, like metal fragments rubbing against each other, which made people panic when they heard it. The black-clothed figure laughed endlessly, and his figure suddenly accelerated, like a clockwork monster, not only flickering left and right, up and down, but also jumping and jumping began to be mixed with the dazzling cold light of Sensen.

The cold light is not like the flickering cold light of a blade, like the ice mist that flies when the Arctic glacier collapses under the moon, and in an instant, the white-clothed figure is wrapped in it, and the cold air emitted is not only imminent, but also penetrates deep into the bone marrow, making people cold from blood to heart and lungs.

Li Xuan saw that the black figure was gaining momentum, pressing step by step, the white figure seemed to be forced into a desperate situation, and was about to shoot out the dead branch in his hand to help the white figure, but he heard the fierce fight and the two of them suddenly shouted, 'bang' two sounds, the dead leaves and broken branches flew wildly, and the black and white figures suddenly separated, and the two sides took seven or eight steps back before barely stabilizing their figures.

The firelight was faint, and the woman in white straightened the veil covering her face, as if she was holding back the blood surging in her chest, and said lightly: "I didn't expect that the Muscle Shifting and Bone Refining Chapter would be so powerful when practiced to the extreme." Hmph, it seems that you have inhaled a lot of cold qi in the Kunlun Mountains over the years, and a pair of fleshy palms are unfolded, and you can swing out the eerie energy like flying snow and ice!

When the dry and thin man in black heard this, he took a deep breath, and said: "Back then, I was in charge of the treasure source secrets, how could I only practice the tendon and bone refining chapter. Haha, your Shi Wanrou kung fu is also very good, and your light bones are not gentle at all! Haha, a few days ago, in the battle of Panlong Mountain, the old man failed to ambush and annihilate you, count you lucky. Now that you have returned to the Flying Goose Forest, it will be difficult to escape if you want to escape again. Before he could laugh, the woman in white said in an extremely soft voice: "Shangguan Xiaoxiong, the Tibetan Sword Villa has no grievances with you in the past, why do you pretend to be someone from the Medicine King Valley to ambush us? (To be continued.) )
