Chapter 34: Gathering Families
The sky will be bright, and the morning light will be faint.
The rain and dew are cool, and the grass and trees are simmering. Unknown birds chirp on the branches. In this mountainous and wild place, there is a kind of tranquility out of the dust.
The campfire burned out, and only a few carbon chips remained, and a faint green smoke seemed to be looming out.
The ancient road, the west wind, the rising sun, leisurely and empty.
Maybe it was a good dream, Lin Yizhi woke up feeling more lucid and comfortable than he had ever been. He lay in the grass, looking at the clear blue sky, and thought in his heart that the scenery outside was really different from the Liwu Mountain.
Away from the sorrowful mountain is like an ethereal and magnificent picture, although it is very beautiful, but it always makes people feel a little awe, some too far away. And this unknown mountain, although there is no dusty fairyland from the Worry Mountain, is like a woman with a small jasper, fresh and pleasant.
If you keep lying here, there will be no more troubles and sorrows, and you will grow old like this, is it a great blessing in life?
It's just a pity that Duanmu, Sister Xiyue, Nalan and the many people in the Liwu Sect don't know that there is such a quiet place in this mundane world.
If you have the opportunity, you will definitely take them to make a house in a beautiful forest in this misty world, plant a grain of millet in the spring, and harvest ten thousand seeds in the autumn.
Do the vicissitudes of a lifetime. But how nice it should be.
Lin Yizhi was a little drunk when he thought about it.
Perhaps, he is the only one who is so stupid that escaped from the Sect of Sorrow and provoked the Nine Heavens Emperor Jue Palace, but he still didn't realize it, stupidly thinking about such a leisurely and indisputable life. Or be someone else, maybe you are already full of worries and panic.
Lin Yizhi lay down for a while, and suddenly felt the sound of footsteps behind him, and before he could turn over and sit up, he saw Guan Kuan grinning and taking a look at him.
Lin Yizhi laughed and said: "Other monsters are scared to death, but you can laugh to death." ”
Guan Dekuan pursed his lips and said, "You have to be boring, hurry up, there are good things to eat!"
Lin Yizhi turned over at this time, and found that there was no pain in the rib he broke yesterday, and he was very happy in his heart.
Guan Dekuan also seemed to notice that Lin Yizhi's injury had healed, and looked at him with a pout: "I didn't expect you to be so thin, and the speed of recovery from your injuries is amazing." ”
Lin Yizhi smiled slightly embarrassedly: "It's just because my cultivation is low, and when I leave the Worry Sect, I am always beaten and injured......"
Guan Kuan didn't wait for him to finish speaking, then his eyes glared and said: "Which one wants to die bullying you, do you want my brother and me to kill the Liwu Sect and twist his head!"
That posture really has a kind of desperate energy.
Lin Yizhi said secretly, this name is really not called in vain, and then he smiled and said, "I'm just kidding......"
Unexpectedly, Na Guan Kuan also smiled and said, "I'm just joking...... What kind of place is the Sorrow Sect, everyone can drown me with spit and foam...... If I dare to go there, it only means that I am tired of life......"
Lin Yizhi was speechless for a while.
Guan Kuanyang raised the things in his hand and said: "When you get up in the morning, you must be hungry, this is for you to eat." ”
As he spoke, he threw it at Lin Yizhi's head.
Lin Yizhi hurriedly took it, and when he looked at it, it was a few cyan fruits.
Lin Yizhi took it in his hand and took a few bites, the taste was slightly sweet in the sourness, but it was very crispy.
"What is this......" Lin Yizhi asked.
According to legend, there are many poor people who have this kind of fruit, and the poor often have no food to eat, so they take these fruits to satisfy their stomachs, so they are called Bodhisattva fruits. "Speak wide and gush.
Lin Yizhi's eyes were sincerely admired, and he blurted out: "Brother Guan is really knowledgeable, it seems that you often walk in this world!"
Guan Dekuan heard this, and said with a smile on his face: "That's nature, the ends of the world, the Quartet Peerless Regions, I have been there, I am really drunk and lying in the red silk tent, wandering the wind at the end of the world! Brother, every time I go to a place, with my appearance of this pear flower pressing begonia, that woman is not ...... when she sees me."
Lin Yizhi couldn't listen to it anymore, lowered his head and ate the Bodhisattva fruit, and walked a few steps into the distance.
Guan Dekuan shook his head, and actually sighed and said: "Alas, the waves are red dust, how many Bo Xing names have been won, but my brother has a heart, my Duanmu Ningque......"
Lin Yizhi really couldn't listen to it anymore, and hurriedly interjected: "Brother Guan, I know that you are a prodigal son of Hongchen, and you destroy flowers with hot hands...... Forehead......" hurriedly looked up at Guan Kuan, and saw that he didn't seem to hear the last four words, still with an intoxicated expression, and then said: "Let's think about where we go next......
Guan Dekuan came back to his senses and said, "I'm wandering the world anyway, and you said last night that you are very good at cooking, so I'll go wherever you go." ”
Lin Yizhi nodded, and suddenly remembered what he had said to the old Taoist Nangong Yijin, they had originally agreed to go to the Zen Temple in the Western Foolless Zen Realm together, but they never thought that the old Taoist lost his life in order to save himself halfway.
Lin Yi's heart was sad for a while, maybe his soul has been following me, then he still goes there.
After thinking about it, he said to Guan Dekuan: "I want to go to Zen Lonely Temple." ”
Guan Kuanyan said in a word, and some felt incredible: "There is a difference of tens of thousands of miles between there and here, and you have to cross the vast and boundless sea of burial of sin, I heard that the sea of burial of sins has been quite unpeaceful recently, and many cultivators have given their lives, where are you going to do it?"
Lin Yizhi shook his head and said, "I don't know, I don't have anything to do, I just want to go to the Zen region to increase some knowledge." ”
Guan Dekuan heard this, shook his head vigorously and said: "There are all some broken monks, big light scoops, donors all day long, Amitabha Buddha's call, boring and dead, don't go, don't go." ”
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said: "Brother, why don't we go to Jiangnan?" Jiangnan Yanbo Vast Lake, that is a good place to go, the beautiful women on the lake are like clouds, all of them are slender and smart, and there is also a sect called Sanmiao Palace...... Those three palace masters ......"
When Lin Yizhi heard this, his face turned red and said: "Brother Guan, in the daytime, can we not talk about this, I will go to Zen Silent Temple, if you want to go to Jiangnan, you can go by yourself......"
Guan Dekuan shook his head and said, "You are really boring, come on, listen to you!"
As he spoke, he leaned down into the haystack, as if he was pulling something.
After a while, there was an apple-sized thing in his hand, which was smooth and clear, shining with an earthy yellow light, as if it was a much larger elixir.
Guan Dekuan took this thing in his hand and laughed evilly.
Lin Yizhi was puzzled: "What is this?"
Guan Dekuan smiled and said: "This is the demon pill of the four-pupiled bear demon we ate last night, but the beast is big, and this demon pill is also a little bigger......"
Lin Yizhi looked at this big demon pill and said, "What do you want this thing to do, big brother?"
He also has a demon pill himself, which was given to him by Yu Lei before he died, and Yu Lei said that he could summon his clone three times when it was critical, but Lin Yizhi was never willing to use it.
When he saw the demon pill of the four-pupiled bear demon for the first time this time, he couldn't help but be very curious, could it be that he could summon the four-pupiled bear demon three times if he was wide?
Hearing this, Guan Kuanyan looked at Lin Yizhi as if he didn't believe it: "Do you really don't know, or do you really don't know?
Lin Yiyi's face was wooden, and he shook his hand and said, "It's a miracle that you're still alive in this cultivation realm, forget it, I'll tell you." ”
As he spoke, he raised the demon pill of the four-pupiled bear demon and said, "This powerful demon beast has a demon pill in its body. Of course, the demon pill also has a grade, what about ordinary demon beasts, the grade of the demon pill is low, as the level of the demon beast gets higher and higher, the level of the demon pill is also higher. There are five grades of demon pills, and the lowest one is called 'yellow', which is the low-level demon beasts that have just opened their wisdom, such as those four-legged beasts that I adopted, and the second one is called 'Xuan', such as some small mountain monsters, little wolf demons, some attack abilities, but there is no threat to the cultivators who have cultivated above the foundation;
Further up, there are some heterogeneous demon beasts, their own strength is already very strong, even if the Jindan monk meets him, it will take a lot of effort, these demon beasts often exist in the world for a hundred years, or even a thousand years, with strong attack power, and the spiritual sense is also very powerful. The demon pill of these demon beasts is called 'earth'. ”
Speaking of this, he pointed to the four-pupil bear demon pill in his hand and said: "This black-skinned beast demon pill is the earth-grade demon pill, the four-pupiled bear demon has existed in the world for thousands of years, and it used to only haunt the southern wilderness in the extreme south, I don't know how this guy came here." ”
Lin Yizhi nodded, imagining that the students listened to the master's lecture as seriously.
If you manage it widely, it may be good for you to be a teacher, and she said: "If the demon pill of the demon beast reaches the earthly grade, it will be of great benefit to the cultivators above the exorcism, and if you swallow it, you will increase your true qi cultivation by three or five years, and at most by more than ten years." ”
Lin Yizhi was shocked when he heard this: "It turns out that the demon pill is so useful. ”
Guan Dekuan smiled and said: "Yes, some cultivators specialize in hunting demon beasts and seizing demon pills as their business, low-level ones buy from trading houses, and high-level ones stay by themselves." However, this kind of business is a life of death, if you encounter a demon beast that is lower than your own cultivation, it is fine, if you encounter a high-level demon beast, it is indispensable to have a dream!"
Lin Yizhi nodded and said, "No matter what, it is the survival of the strong." ”
Guan Dekuan smiled and said: "The higher grade is the heaven-level demon pill, these demon pills are rare in the world, their owners are already rare demon beasts in the world, these demon beasts mostly exist in the vast desert of the Southern Wilderness and the endless Ten Thousand Mountains, their own strength is extremely strong, even if the Mahayana monks encounter it, they should also be treated with caution." ”
Lin Yizhi exclaimed, "Wouldn't the Demon Pill of the Heavenly Order Demon Beast be more beneficial to us......
Guan Dekuan squinted at Lin Yi and said, "What do you want to do?" Those demon beasts are also heaven-level, each of them has the ability to destroy mountains and reclaim the sea, and they can't be found, even if they meet, they have to have the ability to surrender. I've traveled the world for so many years, and I haven't come across one, and even if I do, it's only a good ...... to kill it, take the demon pill, and don't have the Mahayana Dzogchen, or even the Void Cultivation."
Lin Yizhi was stunned for a long time, and secretly wondered in his heart what level the demon pill belonged to.
Then he opened his mouth and asked, "What is the highest-level demon pill?"
Guan Dekuan said: "The highest-level demon pill is called the 'Hongmeng Demon Pill', these demon pills belong to the demon beasts of the flood period, do you know that there are nine great beasts in this world?"
Lin Yizhi shook his head, in fact, he had heard Yu Lei say that the Nine Great Flood Demon Beasts, one of the top ten Flood Demon Beasts in the past, but later his reputation disappeared, and all records about it were erased by the ancient gods, so the nine Great Flood Beasts were rumored in the world.
It's just that although he heard that there are nine desolate beasts, he doesn't know their names.
Guan Dekuan waved his hand and said: "Forget it, these are too ethereal, according to legend, the nine great beasts of the Flood Desolation are all in the deepest part of the Southern Wilderness for unknown reasons, where the wind and sand are knives, thunder and lightning, that is, the gods have gone, and they may not be able to come out, the nine fierce beasts in this world are just legends, no one has seen them, so the Hongmeng Demon Pill is just a legend." ”
Lin Yizhi nodded, thinking in his heart, maybe the demon pill of Yu Lei was the Hongmeng Demon Pill.
It's just that he still has doubts in his heart: "Brother Guan, is it true that all demon pills are beneficial to cultivators' cultivation and have no other uses?"
Guan Dekuan thought for a while and said: "Not really, some demon beasts have a special demon pill, which is a treasure similar to a magic weapon, for example, some can be disguised, no matter how high the cultivation is, in addition to the consummation of the void, it will not be able to see through, some can improve the speed of the body, and some can summon the doppelganger of the demon beast to which the demon pill belongs, thinking that it is arm help, etc., in short, it is all kinds of things, and so on." ”
If this is the case, Lin Yi secretly thought in his heart that the demon pill of Yu Lai should be the special demon pill that Guan Kuan said.
Lin Yizhi remained silent, pointed to the extraordinarily large demon pill in Guan Dekuan's hand and said, "Brother Guan, don't you want to eat this demon pill?"
Guan Dekuan smiled and said, "I don't eat it, I have the master who eats it!" Speaking of this, the eyes rolled straight, as if thinking about something, and laughed to himself.
Lin Yizhi knew that he was afraid that the bitter master would be teased by this brother again.
Guan Dekuan said: "Okay, let's go, go all the way west from here, wait in the Zen Temple, Guan Gongzi is here!"
Anyway, let's take a step first.
Lin Yizhi hurriedly followed.
............
Lin Yizhi and Guan Dekuan are mostly on foot to the west, in fact, if they follow Guan Dekuan's temperament, I am afraid that they will drive the magic weapon all the way to the past, saving time and effort.
But he couldn't bear Lin Yizhi's begging, saying that it was so easy for him to see the state of the world, if he had mastered the magic weapon in the past, wouldn't it be wasted. Guan Dekuan said at first that he would not agree to anything, saying that if he went all the way, he was afraid that it would be two or three years.
Lin Yizhi had no choice but to compromise, so he put forward the suggestion of walking on foot for one day and controlling the magic weapon for one day. Guan Dekuan was really opposed for a while at first, until one evening Lin Yizhi made a few dishes of game, roasted it himself, and took out the salt and spices bought along the way After a busy time, he praised Guan Dekuan for eating, and Guan Dekuan thought that if he drove the magic weapon to walk in the air every day, it was estimated that it would be difficult to eat such a delicacy, so he readily agreed to this suggestion.
The two of them live at night, sometimes miss the night, and they will spend one night in the deep mountain suburbs, and every now and then there will be a burst of meat fragrance, and then under the moonlit night, two big flowers and happy figures......
Sleeping all the way, I don't know how many cities and villages and towns have passed, the scenery on the road is sometimes beautiful, sometimes magnificent, sometimes quiet, sometimes desolate.
Lin Yizhi enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the road and saw the customs and customs of various places, but his vision was greatly broadened, and his own temperament had changed slightly.
In this way, sometimes walking, sometimes walking in the sky, in the blink of an eye, more than three months, has entered the late summer season. Lin Yi had always been afraid that the people of the Nine Heavens Emperor Jue Hall would attack again on the way and chase and kill him, but there was not the slightest shadow of the Nine Heavens Emperor Jue Hall for many days, as if the Nine Heavens Emperor Jue Hall was horrified by Lin Yi's killing of Huangquan Hall, and they all remained silent. As time passed, Lin Yizhi's wariness of the Nine Heavens Emperor Jue Hall gradually faded.
At first, the two of them walked in the air, Lin Yizhi suddenly saw that he was walking side by side with a pair of swollen chopsticks, and Guan Dekuan jumped on top, with a leisurely and complacent look, which always felt extremely funny, and Lin Yizhi couldn't help but laugh several times.
After a long time, he got used to it.
............
On this day, the two of them were walking in the sky, Guan Dekuan leaned down to look under the clouds, only to see the misty stratus cloud gap, faintly see a small village, the east of the village is surrounded by mountains, the west side is the endless sea.
Guan Kuanchong Lin Yizhi said: "This should be the last village at the junction of Middle Earth and the Western Immortal Zen Realm, and in front of this village is the Sea of Burials." After the sea of burial, you will come to the boundary of the western non-idiotic Zen realm, and then walk for a few days, you will arrive at the first big city of the non-idiotic Zen realm, Sangzi City, after Sangzi City, it is the Shikong Mountain, and the Zen Silence Temple is on the halfway of the Shikong Mountain. ”
Lin Yi's hand set up a pergola and looked to the west. As far as the sun can see, in the far west of the eye, there is an endless sparkling wave, the ocean is blue, and the sky has become the same color.
Lin Yizhi knew that there was the sea of burial that Guan Kuan said.
Lin Yizhi was strange, turned his head to Guan Dekuan and said: "That blue sea, magnificent and vast, how could it have such an obscure name - burial?"
Guan Kuan smiled, but didn't explain: "You'll know this when you get there." ”
With that, he whistled, and then went straight to the small village like an arrow from a string.
His voice came from mid-air: "Brother, it's not early, we are at the foot of this small village today, you should come quickly!"
Lin Yizhi shook his head, this big brother is always like this.
Then he also hurriedly urged the Chixiao Immortal Sword and went towards the village in front of him.
In order not to alarm the villagers of this village, the two of them collected their own things outside the village and walked towards the village on foot.
Walk a short distance to the entrance of the village, Lin Yizhi looked at it from afar, this small village, mostly thatched houses, because the sun has turned west, many thatched houses have already smoked, a peaceful.
The two of them walked a few times in front of the village entrance, but they didn't find any signs at the entrance of the village, so they pulled Lin Yizhi and teased: "Brother, although you don't look as good as me, but what about it, your hair color is normal, I see that it's dusk, in case I have white hair, it's not good to scare people again, you go to Fang Yuan around here and ask to see what kind of place this is." ”
Lin Yizhi nodded thoughtfully.
Just as Lin Yizhi turned his head and walked not far away, he heard a voice reciting the Taoist Dharma horn behind him: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable...... Donor, poor Dao saw that your Yin Tang was black, and he was already full of gray hair at a young age...... Is there something bothering, why don't you let Poor Dao share a hexagram with you and explain it?"
It seemed to be a wide voice, and the voice seemed to be quite interested: "This is a good way to relieve boredom, I don't know how much your hexagram is?"
It seemed to be an old voice and said: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, I write clearly on this disguise, poor divination, one hexagram and one gold ......"
Lin Yizhi suddenly felt a thrill, only to feel the blood gushing up, trembling all over, almost unable to believe his ears.
Because this voice is too familiar, it is clearly the voice of a person who Lin Yizhi thinks about all night.
Lin Yizhi tried his best to restrain his excitement, turned around sharply, and looked at the place where Guan Dekuan was standing.
I saw that opposite him, it was an old Taoist wearing a dark robe, with white hair and a dusty face, but the only thing that was incongruous was that he took a rag disguise on his left hand, and the four big characters on it were clearly recognizable: one hexagram and one gold.
Lin Yizhi strode over, patted the old man's shoulder, and laughed: "Old Dao, it turns out that you are not dead!"
This old Taoist was concentrating on flickering widely, and was frightened by Lin Yizhi's beat, and he didn't look at who it was, he rolled his eyes and shouted: "Who is so unsightly, shouting, I didn't see the Taoist ......."
When he raised his head, his originally extremely dissatisfied face became excited, and he couldn't say anything.
His lips squirmed for a long time, and then he suddenly trembled and shouted loudly: "Hell, ......"
I couldn't help but say, picked up the rag in my hand, turned around and ran.
Lin Yizhi and Guan Kuan were both at a loss for the second monk. Lin Yizhi was busy chasing after him, and said while chasing: "Old Dao, are you crazy or stupid? I'm Lin Yizhi, what are you running?"
It turned out that this old Dao was hit by the master of Huangquan Hall in Fengling Village, disappeared in front of Lin Yizhi's eyes, and was considered dead by him - Nangong Yijin!
It's just that he ran away when he saw Lin Yizhi, which surprised Lin Yizhi.
Nangong Yijin saw that Lin Yizhi was in hot pursuit, and he ran even more urgently, shouting loudly while running: "Fight ghosts! Lin Yizhi ...... You and I have no grudges the day before yesterday, and no grudges recently, I just gave you three ingots of gold, since you were killed by the master of the Huangquan Hall...... I went to him. Why did you come all the way to me to ask for your life!"
Lin Yizhi couldn't help but be happy when he heard this, and dared to feel that this old liar thought that I had died in Fengling Village, so he laughed and said while chasing after him: "Old liar...... I'm not dead...... I'm a big living person!"
Nangong Yijin's head shook like a rattle and shouted: "How is it possible, look at the white-haired one behind you, I was originally strange, but now I know that this is clearly Bai Impermanence, and besides, is there such a young person with white hair?
Lin Yizhi explained while chasing, but this Nangong Yijin didn't listen to anything, and insisted that Lin Yizhi was a ghost.
All of a sudden, the boundary of this small village was noisy with chickens and dogs, and there was a miasma of smoke. Nangong Yijin's wolf-like voice was high and low, endless.
Lin Yizhi had no choice but to glance at Guan Dekuan.
Guan Kuan didn't say a word, and he didn't have a good impression of this old way, and an afterimage came to Nangong Yijin and bared his teeth at him.
Frightened, Nangong Yijin's mother screamed, turned around and wanted to run, but suddenly found that her feet had left the ground.
Looking back, the collar of his back coat had already been grasped by Guan Kuan, and Guan Kuan stared at him with a smile.
Nangong Yijin's face was green.
Lin Yizhi hurriedly waved his hand and ran over and said, "Big brother, let him down, my own people!"
Guan Dekuan put Nangong Yijin down.
Lin Yizhi explained again, and Nangong Yijin believed that Lin Yizhi in front of him was a big living person, not a ghost asking for his life.
Nangong Yijin sighed and said, "I didn't expect you to encounter so many turmoil again." ”
Lin Yizhi also sighed and asked, "Old Dao, why didn't you die and still came here?"
Nangong Yijin waved his hand and said: "This matter is a long story, I will talk to you in detail when we find a place to stay." ”
Guan Dekuan smiled and said: "But after a while, I will ask Lao Dao you to give a divination ......"
When Nangong Yijin heard this, he patted his chest and said: "This makes me, I will give you a divination, I don't need money, how about giving you a meeting gift?"
Guan Dekuan laughed and said, "Old Dao...... Exquisite!"
Lin Yizhi looked at these two living treasure enemies, and his head unconsciously grew several times.
