Chapter 22 Zen Koji

A wisp of black smoke floated out of the ghoul's shattered head and flew lightning towards the zombie horde. Although this ghoul has not been able to cultivate into a corpse pill, he can use the zombie's body to cast the method of resurrecting the soul by borrowing the corpse. After a period of cultivation, you will be able to regain your strength. Although the sea dragon knew that the black qi was going to run, at this time, the mana had been completely exhausted, and he did not have the power to strike another blow at all, so he could only watch the black qi rush towards the zombie group.

At this moment, a clear Sanskrit chant sounded, "Stop running away from evil obstacles, look at treasures." The light flashed, and a huge golden bowl blocked the black qi, and the black qi suddenly churned violently, and the screams continued to echo, and in the golden light, it disappeared in an instant. "The Dharma is boundless, and there is a shore to turn back. Go where you need to go. The golden light shone again, and in the center of the sea dragon and the village, a huge pit with a diameter of ten meters and a depth of five meters quietly appeared. The zombies and remnants of the zombies that had been destroyed by the sea dragon all flew up under the golden light, and fell into the pit one after another. The golden bowl shone brightly, complex Sanskrit characters floated around it, the zombies in the pit lost their original gray-black color, turned into real corpses, the dazzling light flashed, the ground returned to flat, and everything returned to normal.

Under the light of the Buddha, the sea dragon felt a constant burst of comfort coming from his whole body, and the operation of the Buddha power in the mixed mana in his body suddenly accelerated, and he actually helped him recover some mana in these few breaths. Seeing the disappearance of the golden light, the sea dragon couldn't help but rub his tongue secretly, such a profound Buddhist cultivation was much stronger than himself.

With a flash of light, a figure appeared in front of the sea dragon, a white hand handed it over, and said in a soft voice: "Donor, I'll pull you up." ”

Hailong looked up, only to see a young monk in a robe appear in front of him, this person's face was like jade, his whole body was shrouded in a faint Buddha light, he didn't look very old, it seemed to be about the same as himself, and there was still a little childishness between his eyebrows.

Grabbing the white hand, a strong force came, pulling him up from the ground, and the sea dragon stood up and looked at the young monk, who was an inch shorter than him, and his handsome appearance made the sea dragon feel a little ashamed in his heart. He frowned and said, "Who are you?

The young monk nodded and said, "Yes, I have destroyed him, how can such an evil ghoul be allowed to endanger the world? His soul has been refined by my Buddha bowl, and he must go through many tribulations before he can be reincarnated." Donor, thank you so much for your righteous action, you are really a good person, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid those ordinary people here would be miserable. ”

Hailong snorted and said, "Since you are next to you, why didn't you make a move earlier, do you want to see me make a fool of myself?" ”

The young monk shook his head and said, "What is the Brahman's Heart Sect, I haven't heard of it!" It's not that I didn't want to make an early move just now, but I just arrived, I was cultivating Tianyantong hundreds of miles away, and suddenly I saw the evil aura pervading here, so I rushed over, fortunately, big brother, you withstood that ghoul!"

Hailong looked at the young monk suspiciously, and said in his heart, this guy has never even heard of the Brahma Heart Sect, obviously he is a dirt bag who has never seen the world than himself, but his cultivation is so high, what is going on? No, you must ask clearly. Thinking of this, he put on a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance and said, "It is within my lifetime to subdue demons and eliminate demons. You're welcome, brother. Don't you know about the Brahmanic Heart Sect? It is the first Buddhist sect today, and I think my brother is a monk, so I think you are a member of the Brahma Heart Sect. Since you don't belong to the Brahma Heart Sect, then what sect are you cultivating in?"

The young monk said: "The little monk's name is Hongzhi, and he belongs to Zen Buddhism. Maybe the owner hasn't heard of it. We Zen Buddhists haven't been out and about for many years. And I'm the only one left in Zen Buddhism now. The donor should be a cultivator. I didn't expect the little monk to meet you just after he got out of the customs, no wonder the master said before, the cultivators are the same as our Buddha cultivators, and they are all in the heavenly heart. The little monk followed the master to practice Buddhism at a very young age, and he didn't know much about everything in the world, so he asked the donor for more guidance in the future. ”

Hailong said in his heart, it's good if you don't understand. I really haven't heard of Zen Buddhism, but seeing that his cultivation is so high, he shouldn't be so bad that he doesn't understand the world? Then it's easy to do, "My name is Hailong, and I am the fifth generation brother of the Lianyun Sect, do you know the Lianyun Sect? It is the head of the seven major cultivation sects of the righteous path today. I'm so ashamed that I almost let that ghoul escape in the spur of my carelessness!"

Hongji smiled slightly and said: "People have misses, horses have stumbled, donors don't have to pay too much attention to gains and losses." Dare to ask, how long has the donor been practicing?"

Hailong said: "It's been more than four years, almost five years." Originally, I was going to go back to the mountain to retreat and cultivate, but I met a ghoul here, so I delayed. What about you? Seeing that your Dharma cultivation is not weak, how many years have you been practicing?" Hongji listened to Hailong's words and plushed slightly, and muttered: "Four or five years? Is it so strong in just four or five years? When I was refining that ghoul soul just now, I clearly felt that a fairy spirit qi had infiltrated into his soul, and he could use the spirit of the fairy spirit to attack the enemy, so wouldn't the donor's cultivation have reached the realm equivalent to the Great Perfection of my Buddhist family? The little monk was really surprised. I have been practicing for more than 1,000 years, and I have only just completed it. I don't know how long it will take to reach the state of the donor, but in the future, I will ask the donor for more guidance. ”

Even with Hailong's cheekiness, he couldn't help but blush slightly, of course he knew that the immortal qi that Hongzhi was referring to was completely from the Reverse Heaven Mirror, and it had nothing to do with him at all, but by the compliment of the Buddha cultivator in front of him, he couldn't help but have a feeling of fluttering immortals, "I don't understand what the Great Perfection is." I'm not as good as you say. But if there's anything you want to know in the future, I'll be able to help you out. You said that you have been cultivating for thousands of years, but you don't look like you! Don't call me don't be the donor, my name is Hailong, just call me by my name. ”

Hongji sighed lightly and said, "Shi ...... Ah, no, Brother Hailong, I followed my master into the mountains to practice at the age of seven, and most of my time was in retreat and studying the Dharma, and it has been more than 1,200 years now. My appearance hasn't changed since I was eighteen, and I always have been. The old man had high expectations for me, saying that I was an innate Buddha and that it was much easier to cultivate Buddha than ordinary people, and he hoped that I would be able to survive the Buddha tribulation in the future. However, until now, I still don't know what the Buddha Tribulation is, and after cultivating for so long, it is still far from the Great Perfection realm. ”

Hailong smiled: "It's only been more than a thousand years, and I know many masters who have cultivated for thousands of years. Cultivation is not in a hurry, once you are agitated, there will be a danger of going mad. In this way, I know the sect master of the first Buddha sect in the world, he can be said to be the most powerful person in the world to cultivate Buddhism, if you have the opportunity, let him guide you. ”

Hongzhi was extremely persistent in cultivation because he had been instilled by his master for many years, and he was immediately overjoyed when he heard Hailong's words, and hurriedly said: "Thank you, thank you Brother Hailong, if the little monk succeeds in the future, he will worship his brother." Not long after I left the customs, my master once told me when I passed away that after reaching the level of small consummation, I needed to go outside to practice. Now I don't know where to go, so let's do it, I'll follow you in the future, having someone as good as Brother Hailong with me must be of great benefit to my cultivation. ”

Hailong was secretly happy in his heart, with such a master of Buddha cultivation following him, even if the Demon Sect sent someone to chase him, he didn't have to be afraid. On the surface, he frowned and said, "It's not good." I want to return to Lianyun Sect to cultivate, and we have no relationship with each other, take you back, I'm afraid my elders will be unhappy. ”

Hongji blinked his eyes and said, "Then what should I do?" The little monk really wants to travel with Brother Hailong, please fulfill me." "He had just come out of the mountain, and his mind was almost still in his childhood, and after meeting the sea dragon, his intuition from cultivating Buddhism told him that this person could be completely trusted, like catching a driftwood in the angry waves, and he did not want to leave the sea dragon now.

Hai Long forcibly endured the excitement in his heart, and muttered: "That's it, you recognize me as the eldest brother, as long as you become my brother, when you reach the Lianyun Sect, the elders won't say anything." How?"

Hongji said suspiciously: "Think of you as a big brother? But, I'm over a thousand years old, much older than you! ”

Hailong Zhengse said: "The so-called attainment is respected, you have cultivated Buddha for many years, and you can't even see through such a little red dust, no wonder you can't reach the realm of Great Perfection." This is also one of the tests I have for your cultivation, not only do you have to recognize me as your eldest brother, but you must also obey my arrangements in everything, be respectful to me, and not be proud of your age at all, so that it is the best tempering of your character. Do you understand?"

Hearing Hailong's words, Hongzhi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and muttered, "Yes! Brother Sea Dragon, oh, no, Brother Sea Dragon, thank you for your guidance, from now on, Hongji will be your little brother, no matter what happens, just follow orders. As he spoke, he folded his hands and bowed to the sea dragon.

Hailong was surprised to see the ring scar on the top of Hongzhi's head, the average monk has nine ring scars, but he has as many as sixteen, with such a strong and obedient little brother, even if he returns to Lianyun Sect, he doesn't have to be afraid of being bullied. Thinking of the excitement, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a faint smile, and said, "Then I'll call you Xiaozhi in the future." After saying this, Hailong himself couldn't help but feel funny, Xiaozhi, it felt like he was talking about hemorrhoids. No matter, anyway, my road number is a spittoon, and it's normal to have a hemorrhoids brother.

At this time, the people of the village finally realized that the matter outside was over, and some of the more daring tents tried to get out of the tent, and when they saw that all the zombies had disappeared, they couldn't help but cheer. After a while, the whole tribe suddenly turned into a sea of joy. They removed the fence, and hundreds of people ran together in the direction of Kairyu and Hongji.

Hongji was taken aback when he saw that everyone was rushing towards him like a sea of mountains, and said, "Brother Hailong, what are they doing here?"

The sea dragon smiled, "We eliminated the ghouls and zombies, so they naturally came to thank you." Don't make a noise when they come, I'm all there is. ”

Hongzhi was most afraid of dealing with people, and when he saw that Hailong had a big bag, he immediately said gratefully: "Big brother, it's good to follow you." If the little monk can help you share anything in the future, just ask. ”

The villagers finally rushed to the front of the two sea dragons, and without anyone commanding them, they all knelt on the ground and said to the sea dragons: "Thank you Engong for saving our tribe." Before, they only saw the sea dragon's attack and ran back to the tent to hide, not knowing that the most important work was done by Hongji, and immediately regarded the sea dragon as a great savior.

The sea dragon said flutteringly: "Everyone hurry up, it is the responsibility of my generation to eliminate the demon guard, and there is nothing to thank." Excuse me, which of you is the chief? ”

The villagers were still kneeling there, their eyes radiating gratitude from the bottom of their hearts, and the first old man who looked to be fifty or sixty years old said, "The younger one is the chief, Engong, please command." ”

Seeing the crowd kneeling down in front of him, Hailong gradually became a little uncomfortable, flashed to the side, and said, "Chief, you quickly let everyone get up, otherwise, I will leave immediately." ”

The chief frowned slightly, and after weighing the pros and cons, he had no choice but to command everyone to stand up. Hailong said, "Chief, do you know a man named Shasi?"

The chief shuddered and said, "Yes, of course I know, that's my good brother! Eun Gong, do you know him?"

Recalling the previous appearance of the sauce, Hailong couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, and said how he met the sauce, "...... After listening to his narration, I really hated that there were such a ferocious cultivator ghouls, so I hurried over, that ghoul was really powerful, and with the concerted efforts of my brother Hongji, we finally eliminated them all. Rest assured, no more ghouls will disturb your tribe in the future. Actually, if you talk about it, it should be the sauce that saved you. I have buried him a few dozen miles east of here, where there is a very clear slope of earth, and I hope you will set him a cup. Because he has corpse poison in his body, let him rest there in peace. The circles under his eyes were slightly red, and the sea dragon lowered his head gloomily. Hongji, who was behind him, nodded secretly, and said in his heart: This eldest brother he just recognized is really a good person. From then on, he followed the sea dragon completely and became his most loyal little brother.

The chief had already burst into tears, and said respectfully: "Thank you Engong for helping the Shasi brothers to bury them, what Engong did today, we Circa tribe dare not forget." Please come and rest in our tribe. Let's do our best landlord friendship. "The villagers automatically moved out of the way. Hai Long's belly is indeed a little hungry, and he has been sleeping in the open these days, and he also wants to find a place to rest. Turning his head to look at Hongji, he walked towards the tribe surrounded by the villagers.

The tribes of the Western Regions are very hospitable, not to mention that the sea dragon is their great benefactor, and each family brings their best things to entertain the sea dragon, cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle for a while, and they are very busy.

To Hailong's surprise, as soon as he ate in the evening, Hongji couldn't wait to tear a leg of mutton and chew it, looking at his greasy hand, where he still looked like a monk.

"Hey, I said Xiaozhi, aren't all of you Buddha cultivators vegetarian?" Hailong asked suspiciously.

Hongji chewed the fragrant mutton, looked satisfied, and said, "We Zen Buddhism are not taboo about these. Master his old man likes wine and meat the most, when I follow him to practice, every once in a while, he will go out of the mountain to purchase, he often said, wine and meat through the intestines, the Buddha sits in the heart, the Buddha does not have to be too limited to the form, as long as the Buddha sincerely believes, eat some wine and meat is not indispensable. Wow, big brother, this mutton tastes so good, fragrant and tender, but it is much more delicious than the meat that the master brought back. You eat it too!" he said, and immediately poured a large cup of mare's milk wine.

Hailong looked at him dumbfounded, and said with a wry smile: "It turns out that you are still a wine and meat monk. I like it, though. I hate the life of restraint the most. Eat, eat more. ”

Seeing the two sea dragons eating and drinking, the chief of the Circa tribe suddenly smiled, and toasted to the two sea dragons again and again, the sea dragon was born with a lot of alcohol, and the mare's milk wine had little stamina, and he still didn't have a trace of drunkenness after drinking dozens of cups, while eating, he asked the chief: "Do you know that there is a Lianyun Mountain in our Western Regions?"

The chief paused for a moment and said, "It seems that there is." Engong, where are you going? Why don't you stay with us for a few more days, although we are not very rich here, but you are guaranteed to eat fresh beef and mutton every day. For the young man in front of him, he has a good impression from the bottom of his heart. And from a selfish point of view, if the sea dragon can stay here for a long time, it will only be good for the tribe.

The sea dragon shook his head and said, "I still have to hurry back." That's my home! Chief, think about it, as long as you can tell me the general direction of Lianyun Mountain. ”

The chief sighed, he also knew that he couldn't stay, and said: "Engong, I won't tell you, there is a treasure in our clan, with it, you will definitely be able to find Lianyun Mountain." Wait a minute, I'll come when I go. With that, he turned and walked out of the tent, and after a moment of work, he took a leather scroll and turned around.

He handed over the leather scroll with both hands and said, "Engong, this is the ancestral treasure of my clan, so I will give it to you." The sea dragon thought to himself, could it be that the treasure map is not successful? If it is, he will be developed. Thinking of this, I hurriedly took it into my hand. The chief explained, "This is a map of the entire Western Regions, which the ancestors got by accident. It's just that there was no name on it, and the ancestors of our Circa tribe have marked some known place names with continuous exploration, and I just looked at it, and there is no Lianyun Mountain as you said. But there are a lot of mountains and rivers on this map, so if you're familiar with the terrain, you'll probably be able to find the exact location. That's all I can help you with. ”

Although Hailong was a little disappointed in his heart, he also knew that this was what he needed most now, and while thanking him, he opened the leather scroll. It is a map made of sheepskin, with great craftsmanship, and although it is clearly very old, it is not damaged in the slightest. The map shows the topography of various mountains and rivers, some of which are indeed marked.

Hongji leaned over curiously, looked at the map and said, "This is really a treasure, I don't know how much experience it takes to draw it! ”

Hai Long glanced at him and said, "Where are there so many immortals, even if we are cultivators, as long as we make up our minds, we can also draw them in a long time." Thank you, Chief, but this map is so precious that you can just give us a copy of it. ”

The chief shook his head and said, "If it weren't for the two benefactors, I'm afraid our Circa tribe would not exist. A few copies of the facsimile we have kept for ourselves are sufficient. You must take this original treasure, or our people will blame me. When it comes to friends, we Circa tribes have never been stingy. ”

The sea dragon nodded and said, "Then you're welcome, thank you, chief." ”

That night, under the urging of alcohol, Hailong and Hongji went to bed early. Early in the morning, before dawn, Hongji was pulled up from the bed by the sea dragon.

Rubbing his hazy eyes and glancing out the window, Hongji said with some dissatisfaction: "Brother Hailong, it's not dawn yet, what are you pulling me for, let me sleep for a while." ”

The sea dragon knocked on Hongji's bald head and said, "What are you sleeping, hurry up and pull." The people of this tribe are too welcoming, and if we go during the day, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble. ”

"Oh" Hongji got up helplessly, stretched his waist, put his robe on his body, the sea dragon urged the mana to inject into the Qiankun ring, took out a few things from it, and then grabbed the map on the table, and Hongji quietly left the tribe. While walking, Hailong asked Hongji, "Can you fly?"

Hongji nodded and said, "Of course you can?" But big brother, don't you think it will be very beneficial for us to walk like this? I once saw in a book left by my master that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read ten thousand books. Since it is a road, it is natural to use it. By the way, big brother, what did you leave in the tribe, like a few pieces of paper? ”

The sea dragon smiled and said, "You don't understand this." What I left behind was a silver ticket, which was 10,000 taels of silver ticket, and it could be exchanged for many things. Yesterday we ate so much and took other people's maps, so we have to give something in return. That village was poor enough. In fact, Hailong doesn't have such a good heart, his style has always been to harm others and benefit himself, but because the tribe has many similar things to the village where he grew up, and he was moved by the behavior of the sauce, so he will do this. What the sea dragon didn't know was that as early as last night, Hongji had already imposed a ban on the entire village, and even if there was an invasion of an evil creature of the level of a ghoul, it would definitely be in vain.

Hongzhi looked at Hailong with admiration and said, "Big brother, you are so thoughtful, I didn't expect it! ”

Hailong said proudly: "Of course, I am the smartest person in the world." Before I woke you up in the morning, I had already found the approximate location of Lianyun Mountain. This is also the first time I have gone out of the mountain, and it is really not easy to find it!" As he spoke, he spread out the map, pointed to a place below and said, "This is our current location, you look up, on the top of the map, this place replaced by the cloud symbol should be our Lianyun Mountain Range, after all, it is impossible for outsiders to enter it except for the people of our sect." I can't say that it's definitely right, but it's not far from ten. ”

Hongzhi said happily: "That's good, let's hurry back to your Lianyun Sect." Even the eldest brother is so powerful, so isn't your teacher a fairy? ”

The sea dragon said as a matter of course: "That is, we are a fairyland on earth, and when you arrive, you will understand." By the way, what kind of person is your master, and how did he pass away?"

Hongzhi said gloomily: "The master is very good to me, I can't remember the things I did when I was a child, I seemed to have no parents at that time, and I was taken away by the master when I was wandering on the street." About 100 years ago, the master suddenly told me that he had reached his limit and was sitting in the mountains. He walked peacefully. When he was dying, he told me that he never had the courage to reach the final state of the Great Perfection, that his mind was not firm enough, and that he was not suitable for further cultivation, and that he could only choose to sit on the stone to preserve his Buddha thoughts, and that perhaps after thousands of years, when his Buddha thoughts solidified, he would be able to come back to life. The master said that I was a genius in cultivating Buddhism, and asked me to go out of the mountain after a hundred years of retreat, and then I passed away. I'm really sad, the master is my only relative, and when he dies, I become a person. However, the Buddha treated me really well, and I met you yesterday, and I will have to rely on it in the future, big brother, thank you for letting me follow me. ”

Hailong's heart trembled slightly, he knew that he just wanted to use Hongji, not to help him at all, a trace of indescribable depression suddenly rose in his heart, he turned around sharply and said, "Let's go." After speaking, he urged the mana and quickly walked away into the distance. Hongji looked at the back of the sea dragon, sighed lightly, and said, "Big brother, following you may be my most important training trip." The yellow Buddha light lit up, and he didn't see him making a gesture, he had already chased behind the sea dragon, and he just floated and followed the sea dragon.

With a clear direction, it was much easier to move forward, and according to the map, after a day's work, they had already walked a tenth of the way to the Lianyun Mountain Range.

Hongzhi stopped with a sad face and said, "Big brother, this poor and remote country doesn't even have a shelter from the wind, what are we going to eat at night! ”

Hailong smiled: "You are like this, where do you look like a person who cultivates Buddhism, I see that you have not broken the six desires of the layman." Eating, drinking, and sleeping are the same. Don't you know what the six roots of purity are? If I let you eat and drink all day now and cause your cultivation to stagnate in the future, don't blame me. ”

After following Hailong for a day, Hongzhi seemed to be infected by him, and said with a smile: "When I was cultivating, the six roots were pure, and it was nothing to be free on weekdays, so that my mind could be more focus......ed!

Hailong said angrily: "Okay, don't be intoxicated, let's rest here today." I'm already a little tired after a day of running. As he spoke, he sat down on the ground.

Hongji blinked his eyes and said, "Big brother, isn't it?" You should also find a place like a small forest or a hillside. It's cold at night on the plateau. Look at my fair skin, can you bear to let me freeze?" The sea dragon snorted disdainfully, just lay flat on the ground, and said: "Don't you come, do you think I don't know that you have already reached the level of cold and heat? Even if you have no place to live, and you don't eat or drink all the time, it won't have any effect on you." ”

Hongzhi sat aside dissatisfied, and said, "Even if my Buddha power can reach the level you said, then I am willing to eat and sleep well! After saying that, a person who was humming was there lucky, and the child's heart was undoubtedly revealed.

Hailong really didn't dare to offend this bodyguard he had deceived now, so he turned over and sat up, leaned over to Hongji's side, and said, "What's the matter, you're angry?"

Hongzhi turned his head and ignored him, Hailong smiled, grabbed the void with his right hand, and suddenly a fat chicken leg appeared in his hand, took a hard bite, and said vaguely: "Hey, this chicken leg is really delicious! It's a pity that some people are full of anger and don't need to eat it." As he spoke, he stuffed the chicken thighs into his stomach in two bites. All this was in Hongji's eyes, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, with his cultivation, he didn't see where the chicken leg of the sea dragon came from, and the fragrance from the chicken leg was by no means simulated with mana, but a genuine delicacy. Swallowing and spitting, Hongji tentatively said, "Big brother, do you still have chicken legs?" Can you give me one for my younger brother? I'm really hungry!"
