Guan Ren and Fan Bufan came to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and the old monk Shanshi was sitting on the futon in the hall waiting for the two to arrive.

Shanshi got up, always kind, carried a bright yellow satin bag in his hand, handed it to Guan Ren, and explained: "These are a few scriptures that the old man has selected for you, you are so concerned about it, read it in the morning and evening." ”

Guan Ren took it with both hands, thanked him repeatedly, and carried it on his shoulder.

Shanshi said: "The two of you have a plan, which state are you going to?"

Guan Ren had no idea at all and looked at Fan Bufan. saw that Fan Bufan was also looking at him. The two of them looked at each other, all ignorant.

Guan said: "The two of us are new to the country, and we go to the same state as a whole. ”

Shanshi laughed: "It's better to let Lao Wei call the shots, how about going to Yuzhou first?"

Guan Ren and Fan Bufan glanced at each other again, and the two of them had no objections, so they said, "It's okay." ”

"This is thousands of miles away from Yuzhou, and I am afraid that the two of you will waste their time and time in vain along the way. There is a star gate in the apse, which can make the two of them descend to Yuzhou in a moment. Come, go with the old man and see. ”

When Guan Ren heard that it was thousands of miles away, he was greatly surprised, and immediately followed the old monk to the apse.

Fan Bufan looked strange, stunned and didn't know what to think. It wasn't until Guan Ren, who followed the old monk away, noticed that he was still in a daze and shouted, that he woke up and hurriedly chased after him.

Guan Ren asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Fan Bufan suppressed his voice: "Don't you think it's strange?"

"What's so strange?"

Fan Bufan grabbed Guan Ren's sleeve, and the two stopped: "Why is this old monk so kind?"

"Kind?"

Fan Bufan whispered: "It is not easy to open this stargate once, and it needs to use chalcedony as the source to activate. If you want to cross the two states, the chalcedony used is a huge amount, and it is not easy to put it in any dynasty. This old monk is kind-hearted, he has never frowned, and he is about to open the star gate for us, how can there be such a good thing?"

Guan Ren pondered slightly: "Are you worried that Master Shanshi has other plans?"

Fan Bufan nodded, and the two continued to move forward, keeping up with the old monk from a distance.

Guan Daodao: "If it comes, it will be safe." If he had the intention of harming us, he would have done it a long time ago, so why bother?"

The two of them had their own hearts and minds, and followed the old monk to the apse.

It is as spacious as the main hall, with the only difference being that in the middle of the apse is a stone gate made of some rare stone. There are no intricate patterns on it, and there are no inlaid treasures. The whole body is simple and heavy, and it is very old-fashioned.

On the roof of the temple above the stone gate, a wide patio was opened.

Guan Ren looked at the sky and couldn't help but be taken aback. I saw that there was no daylight in the patio, and in the dark night, a Milky Way ran through the sky, and thousands of stars were shining.

"This ......." Guan Ren said dumbly, usually only at night when the sky is clear, I have witnessed such a magnificent starry sky, but now the blue sky is good, but I see the starry sky, how not to be surprised.

The old monk said: "There is nothing surprising, there is a large array running here, which can gather starlight and use it to open the star gate." ”

Fan Bufan said: "As far as I know, the Star Gate is based on the stars in the sky as a disk, determining the longitude and latitude of the world, so it is called the Star Gate." Once opened, the amount of chalcedony required must be massive. But why did the master say that he wanted to open the stargate with starlight?"

The old monk said with a smile: "Master Fan is very knowledgeable, but this stone gate is extraordinary. Inside the stone skin is a piece of jade, which can attract starlight, and it only takes fifty years for the energy it has gathered to open the stargate once. ”

Fan Bufan secretly smacked his tongue when he heard this, such a tall stone gate was actually a pure jade, coupled with the effect of hoarding starlight, it was already the most precious treasure in the world. It is compared to the jade seal of the country and the seal of the Six Kingdoms, which is not far behind.

The old monk said solemnly: "The old man will open this door and send the two to Yuzhou." But there is one thing that must be stated in advance, this is a long way to go, connecting the two states, and some deviations are inevitable, so the two of them must be prepared in their hearts. ”

Looking at the two of them looking at each other, the old monk smiled: "There is no need to worry too much, although there is a slight deviation, there will be no danger." Anyway, whether you go to Yuzhou or other states, it's not much different, and the bento is everyone's fate. ”

The old monk stood in front of the star gate, and his hand was sealed. Under the tall stone gate, golden light suddenly leaked out, and a circle of arrays lit up. There are complex formations outlined on it, twists and turns are mysterious, and they slowly wriggle like golden tadpoles.

The starlight of the whole stone gate is suddenly released, and the apse is reflected like silver dye. The glow fell on the back of Guan Ren's hand, with a hint of coolness, like a spring rain bullying the body.

There was a loud bang, and the stargate leaked a crack. The whole peak trembled violently, and Guan Ren was almost unstable on his feet, and he and Fan Bufan helped each other to prevent him from falling.

It was almost noon, and the sun was originally high above Mount Meru, but at this time, the dark night suddenly came, and the vast galaxy pressed the ground.

The stargate had been opened, and the silver light inside the door was pouring out, and it was difficult to see clearly where the door was connected. Gusts of wind poured in from inside the door, blowing the clothes of the people who were blowing.

The old monk shouted, "Hurry inside." ”

"Good. ”

Guan Ren and Fan Bufan entered the wind and disappeared into the silver light.

Soon after, the star gate was completely closed, the starlight was gone, and the old monk smiled: "Good, good." It's been a long time since the world was deserted, and it's time to be lively. ”

Guan Ren and Fan Bufan were in a starlight, and there was nothingness all around.

I don't know how long it has been, a gap has opened in the space in front of the two of them, and when they look out, there are flowers and trees in their eyes.

The gap gradually widened, and Guan Ren and Fan Bufan flashed out together.

There was no star gate built here, and a light hole was opened between the two old trees, and after Guan Ren and Fan Bufan walked out, the light hole was immediately closed, and it was no longer perceptible.

The two of them looked around, and as far as their eyes could see, they were full of skyscraper ancient trees, and the sky was difficult to penetrate the heavy forest. The branches are too numerous to see the sun and the moon, and the dense forest is difficult to distinguish between the west and the east.

Fan Bufan looked at the boundless forest and asked, "This is Yuzhou?"

Guan Daodao: "Let's get out of this forest first, and when we meet people, we will be clear by asking." ”

"That's right. But in which direction?"

"It's ....... It doesn't matter which direction he goes, it matters if he goes out first. ”

The two of them went somewhere at will.

"Wait. Guan Ren suddenly stopped and said, "Do you hear insects chirping and birds chirping?"

Fan Bufan immediately woke up, thought about it carefully, and felt terrible in his heart: "Yes, it is indeed a little strange, this Lin Zijing is a madman, not a good sign." Let's go quickly, and we won't be afraid when we get out of the woods. ”

The two of them quickened their pace at the moment. Sometimes, if you don't take precautions, you will stumble over the roots of a tree that is exposed to the ground, and you will cause a false alarm.

After walking for a short time, the two suddenly stopped together, and the wood plastic was stunned there.

In front of the two of them was a huge footprint, knee-deep in the ground, several feet in circumference. The footprints have three branches, and the giant palm that wants to leave traces is a beast with three toes.

The two looked at each other.

Fan Bufan said: "I'm afraid this is not Yuzhou." ”

"How?"

"In this world, apart from demon beasts, what other beast can have such a huge body?"

Guan Daodao: "You mean ......."

Fan Bufan nodded: "That old monk sent us to the Linzhou Demon Land, it should be difficult now." ”

Guan Daodao: "The master said that there would be some deviations, but there must be too many differences." ”

Fan Bufan said: "Yuzhou was originally a continent that divided Linzhou into two. I hope we are only on the periphery of Linzhou, so there is still hope of survival, if we go deep into the demon land, we will definitely die. ”

The two of them found a second footprint a few feet away, so they did not dare to continue forward, choosing to go against the trail.

After rushing for half an hour, in the middle of the line, Guan Ren suddenly pulled Fan Bufan's wrist and hid behind a giant tree.

"What's wrong?"

Guan Ren whispered: "Shhh, don't make a sound." ”

Fan Bufan looked around vigilantly, his heart beating wildly.

In the distance, the sound of a bird's wings flapping could be heard from the canopy, and the mere sound of the movement made it clear that it must be huge.

Listening to the sound of flapping wings fading away, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Fan Bufan looked frightened: "It's a shame that you're clever, otherwise we'll have to turn into a puddle of guano." ”

Guan Daodao: "Fortunately, we detected its breath in advance, so we have to be more vigilant next." ”

Fan Bufan squatted behind the tree and stretched out his right hand to Guan Ren: "Pull me, my legs are weak." ”

The two continued to move forward, and Fan Bufan looked around, lest there would be fierce beasts lurking in the dark.

The march lasted most of the day, and it was nearly evening. The jungle was so dense that it was difficult to see through the sky, and it was even darker.

The two found a cave and planned to settle in it for the night and wait until dawn before they set out.

"There shouldn't be demon beasts hidden in this cave, right?" Fan Bufan looked inside the entrance of the cave, only to see that it was pitch black and there was no light.

Guan Ren released his mental power, explored the entire cave, and said, "Go in, there is no danger." ”

The two of them bowed down and entered the cave. There were a lot of dead leaves in the cave that had been blown in by the wind, and when you stepped on it, it made a soft rustling sound.

The two sat with their backs against the cave wall, silent for a moment.

"Hey, you can say something. Fan Bufan said.

"Say what?"

"Just say anything. ”

Guan Ren was a little embarrassed: "But I have nothing to say." ”

Fan Bufan said: "If you don't speak, I'll be the only one in this cave." ”

Guan Ren smiled: "Are you afraid of the dark?"

". Even if you are not afraid of the dark, you should be afraid of this ghost place. ”

Guan Ren: "......"

Fan Bufan saw that there was no sound, so he said, "I'm hungry, are you hungry?"

"You bear with me first, and when it is dawn, we will pick some wild fruits along the way to eat. ”

"Mr. Keben wants to eat the sauce duck feet and snowflake venison from Phoenix Building, and it is better to have a pot of daughter red. The wild fruit is too astringent and not tasty. ”

Guan Ren was speechless.

After a moment of silence, Fan Bufan spoke up again: "Listen to the old monk say, you have become a bodhisattva? Then why don't you go to subdue demons and hide here for what?"

"Hey! It's not as easy as you think. If you want to reach the bodhisattva realm, you have to cut off the dust thoughts, and the four are empty, and there are too many things that I can't let go, and I am destined to have no chance with the Dharma. Besides, what's so good about being a bodhisattva? How can a mortal be at ease?"

Fan Bufan said: "Then you first have four major emptiness, and take Mr. Ben out of this ghost place." When it's time to drink wine and eat meat, wouldn't it be nice if you didn't have the four big ones?"

Guan Ren smiled and said, "How can there be such a cheap thing? The four major emptiness are true refuge, how can you say that it is empty, and if it is not empty, it is not empty? According to what you said, isn't it true that everyone can be a Buddha and Bodhisattva?"

Fan Bufan was so afraid that he couldn't sleep, so he talked with Guan Ren until the second half of the night.

Outside the cave, a terrible beast roar suddenly sounded.

Fan Bufan was suddenly startled, his body tensed, and he almost screamed.

Guan Ren said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, the demon beast is still far from here." ”

After a while, Fan Bufan calmed down, and his voice was still a little unnatural: "Why is there no movement again?"

Guan Ren said uncertainly: "I guess I have left." ”

Neither of them dared to take it lightly, and their eyes widened in the darkness, listening to the subtle sounds in the distance.

Fan Bufan suddenly sniffed his nose vigorously and said, "Have you smelled the fragrance?"

Guan Ren's sense of smell has never been very bright: "No." ”

"It's the smell of barbecue. Sniffing again, Fan Bufan said firmly: "It won't be wrong, someone is barbecuing meat nearby." ”

Guan said: "I'll go out and have a look, you are waiting here." ”

Fan Bufan hurriedly said: "Let's go together, it's too dark here." ”

The two quietly came out of the cave, not daring to make a loud noise.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, raise your eyes and look around. Sure enough, there was a cluster of fire in the distance, which was extremely eye-catching in the darkness.

Guan Ren whispered: "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”

So the two of them walked lightly towards the firelight.

When the two of them were closer to the fire more than ten feet away, they saw a huge beast corpse lying in front of them, with a tattered head and blood flowing all over the ground.

The two hurriedly hid behind a big tree, not daring to move forward.

With a whoosh, something burst through the air, hit the tree, and rolled down at the feet of the two.

Fan Bufan was frightened and almost screamed, but the prisoner hurriedly covered his mouth and nose with his hands.

Seeing that Fan Bufan gradually calmed down, Guan Ren let go of his hand and said, "Don't scream." ”

Fan Bufan calmed down and nodded. Suddenly, his nose moved, and he sniffed hard, then leaned down and picked up the thing that had just been projected.

Guan Ren saw him put the thing under his nose and sniffed it violently, and then put it in his mouth and took a bite, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Fan Bufan chewed, swallowed it, and said, "This is a piece of roasted meat, can you taste it?"

"Is it delicious?" came a voice from the other side of the fire, a little playful, but full of energy.

Fan Bufan subconsciously replied: "General, remember to put more spices next time." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong, and the piece of meat in his hand fell to the ground with a click, muttering, "No..... Not what you asked?"

Guan Ren shook his head: "No." ”

Fan Bufan immediately looked like a fried cat, turned around and ran.

"Little one. You have eaten the old man's meat, why don't you say hello, just leave?"

Fan Bufan scolded while running: "Old monster, don't beat Mr. Ben's idea, Mr. Ben's meat is too sour and not delicious." ”

After running for a while, he saw that Guan Ren did not follow, so he thought that Guan Ren had failed to escape and was caught by the old monster. There was a struggle in his heart, and he finally couldn't be ruthless to abandon the people, gritted his teeth and said: "Make friends, be righteous." Damn it, if you want to die, die. ”

So he ran back the same way, shouting as he ran: "Old monster, that kid's meat is more sour and unpalatable, it's better not to eat both." ”
