Volume 2 Chapter 169 Goodbye Purple Bamboo Forest
Let's say that Ma Xie in the City Lord's Mansion did not reveal his true identity under the orders of the Stone City Lord. After knowing Ma Xie's experience, the Stone City Lord concluded that Ni Lingshan and Kong Shujian would not let Ma Xie go.
And Ma Xie's identity also became my "Man in the Iron Mask" under the cover of Shi Dangdang - Mo Xuyou, who is the nephew of "Mr. Mo".
Ma Xie's realm had reached the peak of the third layer of the Qi Refining Realm, and his true combat power could already rival the cultivators of the fourth layer of the Qi Refining Realm within the five veins, and could even crush some cultivators who had just entered the fourth layer of the Qi Refining Realm.
However, Ma Xie needs to improve his strength to the fourth layer of the Qi Refining Realm, and he will have more confidence after entering the secret realm, but Ma Xie is not in a hurry to climb the realm, and he still has one important thing to do before that, that is, to go to the Purple Bamboo Forest to pay tribute to his master.
In the early morning of the ninth day of the lunar month, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, Ma Xie left the City Lord's Mansion alone and walked out of the stone city under the cover of the sky.
All the way to the south, at noon, Ma Xie came to Yuanjia Town.
The town isn't very lively in winter, with only a few idlers bragging on the streets. Nowadays, there are cultivators in Shicheng, there is almost no foreign population, and Yuanjia Town is also extremely deserted.
Ma Xie originally wanted to go to Zhong Yuan's house outside the town to have a look, but remembered that Zhong Yuan had already been taken to Tianwu City by Zhong Mengqiu, so he gave up, he didn't stay too long, but went straight to the purple bamboo forest.
The purple bamboo forest is still quiet, it is already winter at this time, the snow of the previous days has not melted, listening to the sound of "creaking" under his feet, Ma Xie's heart is extraordinarily calm.
Back in the Purple Bamboo Forest, he had lost that anger and fear. Thinking about it now, when he saw the tragic death of Mu Xunfeng in the purple bamboo forest that day, Ma Xie was not only angry in his heart, but also fearful.
After leaving the white ape and coming to Stone City, Ma Xie thought that he would gradually grow up with Mu Xunfeng, but Mu Xunfeng's sudden departure made him hesitate. He didn't know anything about the cultivation world, he didn't know anything about this world.
When Ma Xie had not yet entered the stone city and had not yet come into contact with all kinds of people, he thought that this world was a big forest, as long as his sword was fast enough, as long as he hid well enough, he could deal with all crises.
But after he met He Qian'an, Mu Xunfeng, and Shi City Lord Qi Nanfeng, he realized that there were so many different people in the world, and these were the fundamentals that made this world "wonderful".
The more he learned about this world, the more curious and curious Ma Xie became, and it was inevitable that there would be fear in his heart, because this world was unknown to him.
He didn't know what a dragon slayer was like, he didn't know where to look for a suitable sect, and he didn't know what the next step in his cultivation was!
This is not knowledge that can be obtained by astuteness and the sword.
So Ma Xie was very afraid at that time, he was afraid that if he took a wrong step in this unknown world, he would not be able to avenge his master, and he was afraid that if he was careless, he would let this character like his father be disappointed in another world.
"It's been almost a year......" Ma Xie silently counted the time in his heart, at this time he has been in the cultivation world for a long time, and the things he has experienced and the people he has seen have gradually increased, at this moment he is already a cultivator, and today he is going to visit his master as a cultivator.
Walking into the depths of the purple bamboo forest, Ma Xie smelled a fragrance from afar.
It wasn't some poisonous gas, it was someone lighting incense in the woods.
Don't think about it, it must be a sea of clouds.
Following the fragrance into the depths of the bamboo forest, Ma Xie really saw a person sitting in front of Mu Xunfeng's tomb.
The man sat cross-legged, his eyes closed, his hands folded, and his mouth kept muttering.
Ma Xie saw that the man's eyebrows were indeed a sea of clouds, but there was no hair on his head.
"You...... Monks?" asked Ma Xie as he walked in.
Yunhai opened his eyes and said, "Ma Xie, you're here...... As you can see, now I am a disciple of Master Deadwood, and my Dharma name is 'Repentance'. ”
Ma Xie looked at Mu Xunfeng's tomb, which was cleaned by the sea of clouds, and it could be seen that he had been living here, and the surrounding weeds and trees had been cleared, leaving a clean and neat land in the middle.
The stele he erected with his own hands that day was also erected there, and next to the stele stood Mu Xunfeng's sword - Wind Weeping.
"Is Fei Shao dead?" Yun Hai asked.
"Dead, I killed with my own hands. Ma Xie said coldly, he knew that if Fei Shao still had one person in his heart, it would be Fei Shao.
Yun Hai couldn't see any expression on his face, but said lightly: "Sowing is the cause, and reaping the result is the effect." When Fei Shao had murderous intentions towards your master, he was already destined to embark on this path. ”
"I killed your most beloved disciple, don't you hate me?" Ma Xie asked.
"A thought of foolishness is like a god, and a thought of wisdom is like a life. This is what my master told me, I used to be full of foolish thoughts, and I made a big mistake, and Fei Shaozhi's thoughts did not arise, so naturally there would be no good results. Everything is in a thought, and cause and effect are created by the heart. Yunhai still said calmly.
Ma Xie remembered the withered leaf master who was outside Yuanjia Town, if it weren't for his guidance that day, Ma Xie would probably not be able to find Mu Xunfeng.
"Is your master still in that ruined temple?" Ma Xie asked.
"Master is practicing bitter meditation, and he has been sitting there for a hundred years. Yunhai said truthfully.
Ma Xie didn't say much, he knelt down in front of Mu Xunfeng's tomb, and told his experience after leaving the Purple Bamboo Forest as it was, until he killed Fei Shao with his own hands.
"Master, the apprentice has returned, and you can rest in peace now. Ma Xie said to Mu Xunfeng's tombstone.
It's a pity that no one responded to him, only the sound of the wind blowing the bamboo forest......
After the memorial service, Ma Xie got up to leave, and he said to the sea of clouds, "Thank you, Master of Repentance. ”
With that, Ma Xie left the bamboo forest.
Jue Repentance was still sitting in front of Mu Xunfeng's tomb, and a tear flowed from the corner of his eye. Tears fell on the snow on the ground, melting the snow that had not disappeared for a long time.
Leaving the purple bamboo forest, Ma Xie came to the ruined temple outside Yuanjia Town that day.
At this time, he was already a cultivator, and knowing that the withered leaf master inside must be a great senior, he could actually know what was happening in this radius of dozens of miles, and he could imagine how large the scope of his aura was.
Ma Xie walked to the broken temple, he knew that the withered leaf master had already known about his arrival, but he still stood respectfully outside the broken temple, and said to the broken temple: "Junior Ma Xie, I have come to visit the master." ”
I only heard a soft sentence from inside: "Come in." ”
Ma Xie then walked in and saw the old monk still sitting there.
"Meet the Master. The disciple Ma Xie came to thank the master for his guidance that day. Ma Xie said.
Master Deadwood closed his eyes and said, "I don't know how many people I let you kill with this finger." ”
Ma Xie didn't know how to answer.
"You and your master Mu Xunfeng have already told me exactly what happened. You and your master let go of repentance at the last moment, this is goodness, and it is worth it for the old man to make two people have such good thoughts with one finger. As for the two disciples of Yunhai, this is evil, but they were killed by you, and it also happened through the finger of the old man. Therefore, I repented and became a disciple, hoping to be able to solve this cause and effect in the place of the old man. Master Deadwood said.
"Master Repentance has already wondered the Buddha Sect, and naturally cut off all cause and effect. ”
"Good, good, good. Ma Shi is really a person with a Buddha heart. ”
Ma Xie understood what Master Deadwood meant, and this grievance was understood after Yunhai worshiped him.
Duanmu Xuan, who doesn't know where she is, I'm afraid she doesn't know yet, because of her master's conscience, she finally broke free from this incident and will no longer be chased by Ma Xie, but Duanmu Xuan won't know about it, she will only live in remorse and fear.
--------------------------------------
After everything was arranged, Ma Xie returned to Stone City, and at this moment it was already dark, Ma Xie put on a mask and went straight back to his room.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw a dark shadow, it turned out to be Jin Mushui sitting there waiting for him!
"Ma Xie, I think I'd better get out of here!" said Jin Mushui, breathlessly.
"What's going on, who are you angry with?" asked Ma Xie.
Yuan Wuji came out from the side and said, "It's not those cultivators sent by King Jin!
"The cultivators sent by the King of Jin, what happened to you?" Ma Xie asked.
Jin Mushui and Yuan Wuji said it word by word, and Ma Xie understood what was going on.
It turned out that Jin Mushui was invited to the camp of the Stone City Lord as a casual cultivator, and became the fifth person in the Stone City Lord's camp.
But this afternoon, a person suddenly broke into Jin Mushui's courtyard and asked who Jin Mushui was.
The strangeness of that life, the whole body bulged like a ball of flesh, and the head was surprisingly round, connected with the body.
Jin Mushui was originally practicing, but after seeing this guy who was as big as a gourd coming in, he understood that these were the three cultivators sent from the Jin royal family.
And this monk who called himself "Silver Venerable" obviously had bad intentions, he kept asking about the origin and realm of Jin Mushui and "Mosuyou", and when he heard Jin Mushui tell him that the two of them were only the realm of the third layer of the Qi Refining Realm, the Silver Venerable laughed unscrupulously, and was very arrogant in his words, ordering Jin Mushui and Ma Xie to meet their eldest brother "Jade Venerable" before it got dark today.
Jin Mushui couldn't get used to this arrogant guy, and wanted to teach him a lesson, but considering that this was in the mansion of the stone city lord, he asked him out with kind words, and said that the stone city lord would arrange for the two sides to meet later.
Who knew that this Silver Venerable was very annoyed when he saw that Jin Mushui did not listen to him, and even took advantage of Jin Mushui to turn around and leave, Jin Mushui was unguarded, and was knocked down by him with a palm.
"Hmph! Tell you that your surname is Jin! I'm here today to let you know who is in Shicheng! This time, you and the person surnamed Mo are just vassals of me and my eldest brother. You two monks of the third layer of the Qi Refining Realm dare to be so rude to me! Listen to me, each of you will come to visit us before dark today, otherwise you will not be polite! Don't think about using the Stone City Lord to suppress us, you must know that we are the King of Jin behind us!" With that, the Silver Venerable swaggered away.
Where did Jin Mushui receive such an insult, he chased after him, just to teach this villain's ambitious Yin Venerable a lesson.
But as soon as he ran to him, he was grabbed by a person, and when he looked back, it was the mysterious Mr. Mo.
"We will be partners in a few days, don't cause trouble. Mr. Mo's hand was so strong that he flattened Jin Mushui's arm.
Yin Venerable didn't have a neck, he could only turn his whole body to see what was going on, and when he saw Jin Mushui's arm being pulled, he laughed and said, "Hehe, what a waste! Do you think it's Lao Mo who is stopping you? I'm a cultivator at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm! As long as you are a little stronger in this world, it's your grandfather! You still want to do something with your grandfather? I'm tired of it! Today, for Lao Mo's sake, I'll spare you, and after sunset, hurry up and bring what I want!"
The Silver Venerable left like this, and Mr. Mo only said to Jin Mushui: "This is the cultivation world, you can only endure without strength, just like Fang Cai." ”
