The spring is cold, the night is as cold as water, and the moon is as cold as frost. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhenjiang Jinshan Temple, on the lectern platform at the back of the temple, two monks, an old man and a young man, stand side by side by the river.

The old monk's two long eyebrows and one beard were all deceived by frost and snow, and his face was full of ravines, and he didn't know if he was one hundred or ten years old. His gray cloth monk's robe was blown by the river breeze and stuck to his body, showing that his broad skeleton was as thin as wood. The old monk stood on the edge of the pulpit with his feet on the ground, like an old pine that has experienced thousands of years of wind, frost, rain and snow in the mountains.

The young monk was about 20 years old, wearing a spotless white monk's robe, with a handsome face, a long body, facing the river and standing in the wind, the wide white clothes swayed with the wind, and suddenly had the appearance of an immortal.

"Nan no Amitabha!"

The old monk clasped his palms together and chanted a Buddha horn, then turned his head to look at the white-clothed monk beside him: "Shifang, your cultivation has reached the peak of Qi cultivation, and the Yin God has also reached the realm of freely manifesting and traveling thousands of miles every day, why don't you want to further conclude relics? ”

The white-clothed monk who was called the "Ten Directions" turned around, bowed to the old monk and said, "Back to Master, the disciple is also 100% sure that he can form relics, but there is always a feeling in the dark that the time for the disciple's fruition has not yet come, and the opportunity for the fruition is not here?"

The old monk's seemingly cloudy eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam, and he asked, "Then do you have a clearer feeling?"

Shifang replied: "Recently, the disciple's feeling is getting clearer and clearer, and he has faintly felt that the time for the realization of the fruit is approaching, but the opportunity is still in the south. ”

"Southern ......" The old monk was silent for a moment and sighed, "Move as you wish, and do what you want." Since you feel the opportunity, you should immediately set off for a trip to the south! Besides, the Confucian saying 'read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles,' it is time for you to go to the ten zhang red dust to experience a practice. ”

"How can that be?" Shifang said busily, "If the disciple leaves, who will serve and take care of the master?"

The old monk smiled and said, "Do you really treat your teacher as a stupid and decrepit? Whether it's eating or fighting, you can take ten of you for your teacher, and you will be taken care of." Don't ask for mother-in-law, go to rest, go to rest!"

Shifang was stunned for a moment, suddenly smiled dumbly, bowed to the old monk again, got up and said, "Since this is the case, the disciple will go!"

After saying that, he jumped directly from the pulpit, stood firmly on the undulating river with his feet, and then turned around and waved his big sleeves to the pulpit in a dashing manner, and then stepped on the waves like walking on the ground under the bright and cold moonlight.

Looking at the back of his disciple in the distance, the old monk let out a faint sigh and muttered to himself: "Fahai, Fahai, the ten directions went to find the opportunity for his fruition, you have been squandering for thousands of years, where is the opportunity?"

In the sigh, a cry full of resentment and madness suddenly echoed in his mind: "Little White Snake, no matter how long it takes, I will find you and kill you!"

The old monk shuddered, but the fist in his sleeve clenched involuntarily.

In the Oriental Sea, the young monarch of the Dragon Clan, "Prince of the Burning Heavens", Ao Yan, came to the door of a cave in the deep sea, and said loudly: "Brother Jiao is in the mansion, Ao Yan has something to see." ”

The two stone doors of the cave opened inward, and a young man with a single horn and a cold face walked out. He arched his hand towards Ao Yan and said, "I don't know that the third prince is coming, and he hasn't greeted him, so don't be rude." ”

"Brother Jiao is polite. Ao Yan returned the salute, and then said with a sad look on his face, "The younger brother heard that Lingtang was killed a few days ago, and I came here to offer condolences today." ”

Jiao's evil expression was faint, and he said sideways: "The third prince has a heart, please!"

The two entered this spacious cave together, but the furnishings were quite simple.

Jiao Xie led Ao Yan to a stone room, where there is an incense case, there is an incense burner and two incense candles, and there are two tablets, one book is "the position of Jiao's anger", and the other book is "the position of the first Jiao's family". He stepped forward and took three sticks of incense, lit them on the incense candle, turned around and handed them to Ao Yan.

Ao Yan took the incense, bowed upwards with a solemn expression, and then stepped forward to insert the incense into the incense burner.

After Ao Yan's worship was over, Jiao Xie stepped forward to return the salute again, and then asked calmly: "The third prince is here, I'm afraid he didn't make a special trip to mourn Jiaci?"

Ao Yan smiled and said: "Brother Jiao is a smart person, and the younger brother will no longer beat around the bush. The younger brother has another sentence to ask for advice here, can the evil brother Jiao want to avenge Lingtang?"

A chill welled up in Jiao's evil eyes: "The enmity of parents is not shared." It's just that he is quite self-aware, since he is not Lu Dongbin's opponent now, he can only concentrate on cultivation, and there will always be a chance to find him to settle this blood debt in the future. ”

Ao Yan applauded: "It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Jiao's forbearance is admired by the younger brother. However, as far as the junior brother knows, there is still one person in the Victimizing Lingtang besides Lu Dongbin, and this person's cultivation has not yet reached the realm of Jindan, does the evil brother Jiao also have to think about it in the long run?"

Jiao's evil expression finally changed, and he bowed deeply to Ao Yan with his fists, and his tone was a little hurried: "I just learned that she had died, and the murderer naturally only thought it was Lu Dongbin, but he didn't know that he had another accomplice." If the third prince is willing to see the teaching, Jiao Xie will never forget this kindness for the rest of his life. ”

Ao Yan hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him and said, "Brother Jiao's words are serious, and the younger brother is here to tell you the news." ”

Jiao Xie got up and asked, "How did the third prince get the news?"

Ao Yan said: "Brother Jiao should know that my dragon clan has the natural ability to communicate with other water tribes, after learning that Lingtang had an accident, the younger brother went to the accident site to inquire about the water tribe in many ways, and finally learned the situation at that time. In fact, Ling Tang had already relied on the means of burning jade to make Lu Dongbin lose his ground, and the reason why he was defeated in the end was because one person was obstructed. ”

Jiao Xie asked coldly, "Who is that person?"

Ao Yan said: "Li Gongfu, the third-level deacon of the Hangzhou Branch of the 'Heavenly Punishment Division'. ”

"Heavenly Punishment Division...... Li Gongfu ......" Jiao Xie said in a low voice, and the chill in his eyes became more and more intense.

Qingcheng Mountain Qingfeng Cave.

The two women, one dressed in white and the other in green, walked out of the cave hand in hand, the woman in white was beautiful and peerless, and the woman in green was delicate and lovely, it was Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing.

It turned out that after Li Gongfu pointed out Xiaoqing and said that Qingcheng Mountain Qingfeng Cave had her chance, she said that she didn't believe it, but she couldn't hold back her curiosity in her heart, and finally sneaked over to snoop, but was caught by Bai Suzhen.

After a fight between the two women, Xiaoqing was finally subdued by Bai Suzhen, who had cultivated to a profound and gentle and friendly level, and she was willingly called a "sister".

At this moment, she took Bai Suzhen's jade hand and called: "Sister, do you really make up your mind to go to the West Lake to find your 'destined person' to repay your kindness?"

Bai Suzhen sighed lightly: "The front edge is not over, and the avenue is difficult to achieve." Besides, my sister and I also asked Guanyin Bodhisattva for guidance - 'If you are destined to meet thousands of miles away, you must go to the height of the West Lake to find it'. It seems that this trip to Hongchen is inevitable!"
