Chapter 06: Savage
Wild.
Located in the northwest of the Central Plains, the place is as its name suggests.
Legend has it that the ancient Dharani traveled here, saw the scorching sun scorching the earth, and the ground was scorched with embers, and his heart was compassionate, and he meditated for 7749 years. Sensing its sincerity, it went thousands of miles day by day, and it rained for ten years before this furnace-like land was restored to life. Although it is still full of yellow sand, it has improved a lot.
Since then, it has become a frontier for people to set foot in.
Of course, legends are legends. The wild desert has existed since the flood, and because it is uninhabitable, few people have set foot on it. However, it also shows that this is the birthplace of Dharaniism.
It is said that deep in the desert, there is a palace called Dharani Palace.
Thousands of years ago, it was the place where the ancient Great Sect Dharani was located. But with the decline of Dharani Buddhism, it was gradually covered under the yellow sand, and no one found it again, and the Dharani Palace became a legend.
Qin Chuan has also seen these records.
I just didn't expect that, unexpectedly, the real existence.
The sun is scorching.
In the vast desert, two long footprints were pulled.
But it was Qin Chuan and Qinglong walking side by side, slowly walking towards the depths of the desert. The wind and sand on this wild desert are extremely windy, and there are sandstorms from time to time, which is very unfavorable for the flight of cultivators, presumably, this is also the reason why no one has found the Dharani Palace for thousands of years. No one would be willing to take such a risk.
Along the way, there are also a few houses that are located, but almost all of them are in ruins.
In ancient times, it is said that this desert was also inhabited. However, at the time of the rise of Confucianism in the Central Plains, the people's livelihood gradually became richer, and most of the wild indigenous residents gradually moved into the Central Plains.
In this way, the decline of Dharani can be seen.
"He is half a moon, but he wants the people of the world to live in this desert?"
Okay, Qin Chuan couldn't help but sigh lightly, as if there was ridicule.
When I met at the beginning of the year, I vaguely remembered the other party's ambitions. He said: Under the order, there is no fighting, no killing, no killing, no fighting, everyone has few but gains, many and there is giving, there are up and down but there is no dignity and humility, there are strong and weak but no noble and lowly. With this way for the way of heaven, the way is the supreme way, and the avenue lasts forever.
Qin Chuan actually has a little yearning.
However, Qin Chuan also knew that the operation of this Heavenly Dao had its own rules of the Heavenly Dao.
The Half Moon is based on Dharani, and wants to remove the "outer way" of the world, so that it can walk alone and establish the so-called "great way". But I never thought that such a result would only lead to more chaos and endlessly.
Endless!
If there is a road in the heart, the road will exist;
There is no avenue in the heart, even if the world is one, but there is nothing to rely on.
At least, who is accustomed to the colorful Central Plains would be willing to return to this wilderness to live? The Central Plains are more beautiful, better, and stronger, and people will go to the Central Plains one by one.
...... This is the Way.
...... That's the rule.
And Half Moon wants to use the rules of a religion to determine the way of the people of the world, which is undoubtedly a joke!
"Hmph. ”
Qinglong smiled faintly.
He took off his thick cloak, took a deep breath of dry air, and looked around at the vast thousands of miles of yellow sand, but it was as if he was facing a thousand mountains and seas, and he was a little relaxed. He was bound by people and could not be free, but at this moment he had a rare breath of air, albeit in this desert where no grass grows.
...... But what could be more comfortable than that?
"Then why did you come to this desert?"
“......”
Hearing this, Qin Chuan didn't say anything more, only pulled down the cloak slightly.
In the blink of an eye, the originally clear sky suddenly hung up again, and the yellow sand was flooded, constantly attacking. It is as straight as covering the sky and the sun, and shrouding this bright day like a night.
The grit blew on the coat, and it hurt a little.
"You should know that if you enter this desert, you will not be able to come out again. ”
Qinglong's words, transmitted through the primordial spirit, clearly fell on Qin Chuan's ears. However, Qin Chuan doesn't know this. Banyue has always regarded himself as a big trouble, this time for Ye Qiuqi to go deep into the desert, it is still unknown whether he will live or die, even if it is the best result, he will be imprisoned in the wilderness by Banyue for the rest of his life.
Qin Chuan had already made such a plan.
This is the decision made in the immeasurable heavens.
"Suzaku is in the Dharani Palace, and if you plan to break the net, she will help you. Although there are many masters around Half Moon, it is impossible for you to be the enemy alone, but if the incident happens suddenly......"
"Let her go back. ”
Suddenly, hearing Qinglong's sudden words, Qin Chuan shook his head.
“?”
Qinglong's words were interrupted, and he didn't feel a look of doubt on his face.
He has the best relationship with Suzaku in the Dark Gate, and he naturally knows about those things between Suzaku and Qin Chuan. The reason why he said this to Qin Chuan in this desert was not only because of his friendship with Suzaku, but also because he was unwilling to conspire with Half Moon, or rather, he had already had enough of such imprisonment.
He, Suzaku, and Qin Chuan, the three of them are enough to overturn the entire Dharani Palace.
Even if the Yuan Shen was destroyed and disappeared, at this dying moment, he could have such a pleasure, but Qinglong's heart was already full of expectations. Even, he has no regrets.
...... However, why would Qin Chuan refuse?
"Have you ever wondered why Half Moon chose to send you to pick me up?"
Immediately, Qin Chuan asked inexplicably.
The footsteps of the two did not slow down in the slightest, braving the wind and sand, still stepping out of the desert one by one. It's just that unlike Fang Cai, those footprints quickly disappeared into the wind and sand.
“?”
Qinglong was still puzzled.
"Have you ever wondered why those two were the only ones in the valley last night?"
Qin Chuan continued to ask, this time, he stopped slightly, but he answered his own question on his own, "Because, the six ghosts are the old monsters of the past, even if they surrender, they are difficult to control, and the Rakshasa is cunning by nature, and it is difficult to prevent bad intentions. Now, do you know why?"
After asking a word, Qin Chuan no longer cared about Qinglong, and continued to walk.
“......”
Qinglong stood in place a little stagnantly, his face becoming more and more embarrassed.
......
After walking for half a day, at the end of heaven and earth, a palace slowly emerged.
Dharani Palace.
It is rumored in the world that even in the Dark Gate, this Dharani Palace has long been covered under the yellow sand with the decline of the Holy Sect, and has completely disappeared in the long river of history.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Qin Chuan would still have believed it.
I saw that between the vast desert, a palace group made of black rock seemed to rise from the ground, and it was magical. solemn and solemn, but also terrifying and solemn, the two completely different atmospheres are perfectly blended together. From time to time, there are voices of singing and singing in the palace complex, as if the scene of the prosperity of the ancient Dharani is still vaguely in front of you.
Outside the palace, a layer of natural quicksand moves slowly, and the quicksand is embedded with white bones, scattered on the periphery. There is only one suspension bridge, which connects to the vast desert outside from the palace gate.
"It's here. ”
Qinglong completely threw down his cloak and said lightly to Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan was speechless.
Looking up, I really saw a person looking forward to a certain palace. The original graceful body was also hidden under the gauze canopy, falling in the bright sun, but it was the Vermilion Bird.
"Let's go. ”
Qin Chuan ignored it, took the lead and walked onto the suspension bridge.
Without the slightest hindrance, Qin Chuan walked step by step, unharmed, outside the palace gate of Dharani Palace. Behind him, Qinglong did not follow, but also disappeared without a trace, and he did not know where to go.
Only outside the gate of the palace, a man waited for him.
Half-moon.
Today's Half Moon, although its status has long been different, is still the same outfit it was at the beginning. Dressed in white and plain clothes, with delicate eyebrows, he looks like a quiet and elegant young master in the Central Plains. I couldn't see it at all, and no one would think that he was the master of this dark sect that shocked the Central Plains.
"It's been a long time. ”
Facing Qin Chuan, Banyue greeted him lightly, like a friend who had not seen him for a long time.
Hearing this, Qin Chuan stopped, slowly took off his cloak, and threw it into the quicksand. The black hair on his forehead instantly rose in the wind, revealing a pair of dark eyes under his eyebrows, looking at the half moon:
"At the beginning, if I had known that you would be a half-moon ......"
"You're going to kill me?"
“......”
Qin Chuan continued to look at him, without words, but answered him with an incomparably indifferent look.
"But if it were me, I wouldn't kill you. ”
Half Moon said.
When I met by chance in a small village in the west of Changzhou, Qin Chuan didn't know that the half moon was half a moon, and the half moon didn't know that Qin Chuan was Qin Chuan, so there was a discussion of the "avenue". Many years later, they knew the truth from each other, but Banyue never regretted his original behavior, he was indeed the one who saved the whole village.
"Do you know how conflicted I have always been?"
Banyue looked at Qin Chuan and said, "I don't want to get rid of you all the time, because you have demons, but I don't want to share my ambition with you all the time, and I want to join hands with you to create the supreme way." ”
"It's just a dream of yours. ”
Qin Chuan replied.
If it is another way, I may not agree with the so-called "grand wish" of Half Moon. But I can't accept such a cruel and sinful process of unifying the truth and cultivating the truth and uniting the world as one.
The world is beautiful because there are so many of them.
There are many ......
"To this day, you still don't want to help me?"
Banyue asked again, this time, there was already a little displeasure between her eyebrows.
"Hmph. ”
Qin Chuan smiled lightly.
Suddenly, one hand was raised, and the dragon's spine appeared in his hand. In an instant, I could vaguely see that the woman above the palace in the distance seemed to be moving, and there was an inexplicable aura. However, in the next moment, I saw Qin Chuan throw it casually, and the dragon's spine soared up, but it fell down and stood at the bridgehead.
There is no half-point killing intent.
Even, Qin Chuan didn't plan to make a move at all.
"You know my nature, and you know my intentions, and you don't need to say anything else. Send what I want back from your hands, and then, whatever price you want me to pay, I will also trade with you. ”
"You don't regret it?"
"I only regret that I didn't kill you in the first place!"
"Good. ”
