Chapter Thirty-Six: Going to War
The man's face turned pale, and he scolded: "You are crooked, what are you calling the ghost? ”
Guan Ren smiled: "Sprinkle it, I invite you to drink the wine of the world." ”
The man didn't know what the intention of Guan Ren was, so he saw that the scene around him had changed abruptly, and a bluestone road was suddenly spread out under his feet, stretching for hundreds of zhang, and the small buildings on both sides were facing each other, with blue bricks and tiles, the door was painted with vermilion paint, and on the flagpole that was a few feet high, there were colorful banners.
Nowadays, the sun is in the west, it is past noon, there are not many pedestrians on the street, and the people who buy rice and cut cloth are in and out of the shop, and the shadow is shrunk under their feet, which is very short.
The man couldn't hide his excitement, put his arm around Guan Ren's shoulder, and asked, "Where is this?"
Guan Ren was very uncomfortable with the intimate behavior of this old monster, and sneered: "This is my hometown. ”
The two walked shoulder to arm, and the demon man had no self-control and majesty as an old demon in the world, and flirted with the girls in the rouge shop. He smiled enchantingly, not coldly, but made those secular women stupid for a while. When he saw it, he was very proud.
The man asked, "Which state does this place belong to?"
Guan Ren thought about it for a long time, but he really couldn't answer, so he had to reply that he didn't know.
The man was surprised: "Your hometown, you don't even know this?"
Guan Ren told the truth about the fact that no one had left the mountain in Jiancheng for thousands of years.
The man changed his frivolous attitude, faced Guan Ren, and said with a smile: "I began to appreciate you a little bit." ”
Guan Ren just smiled and said, "On this street, there is a Phoenix Building, I invite you to go upstairs for a drink." ”
The two came to the restaurant and asked for a private room by the window on the third floor.
After the wine and food were served, Guan Ren first poured wine for the man, and then raised his glass and said, "I salute my predecessors with three glasses of wine." ”
"This first glass of wine, at the foot of Tunyun Mountain that day, the seniors let my friend leave, this is the grace of not killing. ”
The two clinked glasses and threw their heads up to kill each other.
The man closed his eyes and tasted for a while, looking quite enjoyable, he slowly exhaled a sip of wine, and said comfortably: "The wine in this world is quite like a spicy woman, I don't drink it from you because I drank it, and I won't let you go because I swallowed it." ”
Guan Ren reminded: "Senior Hu, this is just an illusion." ”
The man laughed: "A big dream in the floating world, what is true? What is false? Take this wine as an example, you can see it, you can touch it, you can taste it, and you will enjoy it in your heart." Isn't this pleasure real?"
Guan people's hearts were in full swing, and they had a great sense of empowerment, and they also had a new understanding of the illusion of divine consciousness. But now is not a place for enlightenment, so I have to wait for the future to have leisure and slowly explore.
Guan Ren poured the wine again, raised his glass and said: "This second cup of wine, I salute the seniors twice to heal him, this is a life-saving grace." ”
"This third cup of wine, to the predecessors to teach and teach the Dharma, this is the grace of preaching. ”
The man drained the third glass of wine and finally asked, "Are you worried that you will lose your life in tomorrow's fight, and there will be no chance to thank you in the future?"
Guan Ren smiled: "Life and death are fate, there is nothing to worry about." ”
The man was silent for a moment and said, "If you can't fight, you will admit defeat." As long as you have half a life, I will keep you from dying. ”
Guan Ren joked: "It's a shame to admit defeat, and you won't admit death." ”
The man scolded: "You are stupid, Hongyao is not present, who cares if you are ashamed or not." ”
"Won't she go and see it?"
"According to the rules of the demon clan, no matter whether you fight or die, she is not allowed to be present. ”
Guan Ren smiled: "It's okay not to be there, otherwise she will be beaten too badly, so that she can see how cold she is." ”
The man shouted, "Come, drink." ”
......
The two of them drank one cup after another until it was dusk.
The man was slightly drunk: "The ancient spear in your body has some origin, but it's a pity that you don't know how to practice, if it is put in the hands of those puppets in the world, its power should not be underestimated." ”
Guan people only know that this ancient spear came from the cliff wall of the mountain behind the temple, and a beast's tail was nailed to the spear at that time. If you want to talk about the origin, Guan Ren is not very clear, he asked, "What is the origin?"
The man squinted his eyes and muttered, "That ancient spear should have been two things. The spearhead is a very vicious sword, but the body of the spear is a Zen staff held by the Buddha. Both of them are rare divine weapons in the world, and I don't know who forged them together, and the Buddha nature and demonic nature account for half of each. Once you have the intent to kill, the spear will break through and kill. If you are at peace, it will remain silent within you. ”
Guan Ren suddenly understood why once he was angry, the ancient spear would break out of his body, but now he understood that everything came from the heart.
The man smiled: "Whether it is the ancient spear or the drop of gluttonous true blood in the heart, they are all foreign objects, and they must not be used as the foundation of dependence." Every bone and every piece of flesh in your body, even if it is not good, is still your own. No matter how strong the gluttonous true blood is, it is also someone else's, do you know what I mean?"
Guan Ren nodded: "Understood." ”
The two talked for a while, and came out of the illusion. Looking out the window, the morning light was already shining in the east.
Guan Ren should also go to war at this moment, he made a gesture to the man, and said, "Juniors should go." ”
When the door was opened, the man said behind him: "Remember my words, if you can't fight, you will admit defeat." As long as there is still a breath left, I can make you alive and kicking, not a single hair. ”
Guan Ren didn't speak, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The man's face suddenly changed and he scolded: "Damn, what are you laughing at? I'm just afraid that I won't be able to drink the world's fine wine in the future." ”
Guan Daodao: "I laugh because it turns out that demons and humans are no different. ”
The man was slightly stunned, and continued to drink.
Guan Ren pushed the door out, and Hongyao stood up from the stone pier on one side, and looked at Guan Ren fixedly with dark eyes: "What are the chances of winning?"
Guan Ren grinned: "Don't worry, Senior Hu said I can't die." ”
Hongyao said worriedly: "I heard you say the word death, I'm a little scared, or ....... I went to tell Lu Yuan that if I don't marry in my life, we won't compare. ”
Guan Guan's heart warmed, and he lied to her: "Senior Hu gave me one thing, but I can defeat the enemy with one move, so ah, don't worry." ”
Hongyao's eyes widened: "Really, I'll take a look." ”
Guan Ren said solemnly: "This is not good, the treasure can only be used once, and it can only be taken out until the battle." ”
At this time, the old butler came over and said, "Miss, it's not too early......
Hongyao looked at Guan Ren and straightened his collar for him: "I really want to go with you, but ......"
Guan Ren smiled: "I understand, Senior Hu has already told me." ”
Hongyao's eyes were red: "You must come back safely......"
"Don't worry, I'm leaving"
After the two said goodbye, they were led by the housekeeper and went to Wangshui Stream, five miles north of the village.
