Ning Yuanshi looked at the strange gold leaf in Xuan Xiaozi's real hand, and frowned, since this thing appeared in the hands of the senior brother, it must be a very trivial thing, but even he is well-informed, but he also has no impression of the leaf flowing with strange golden light, and after a moment of silence, Ning Yuanshi looked at the old Taoist and said, "I don't know what the senior brother has in his hand?

Xuan Xiaozi Zhenren gently put the leaf on the table, didn't say anything, slowly stood up, walked to the window by the south again, looked at the blue sky, and was silent for a while, before hearing the old man's faint sad voice: "This is the old man's thing." ”

Ning Yuanshi's face changed slightly, his gaze involuntarily fell on the golden leaf, and after a while, he only heard him lower his voice and said movingly: "Could it be that this is the Buddha treasure relic of the Burning Suffering Master?"

Xuan Xiaozi was really behind, and Ning Yuanshi couldn't see his expression, but from that somewhat gloomy back, he could feel that the old man's mood at this time didn't seem to improve because of those glasses of wine.

"Many years ago, at the East China Sea World Immortal Cultivation Conference, a Buddhist monk was born, set up a chessboard on Liubo Mountain, swept many good hands from all sides of good and evil at that time, and became famous all over the world, at that time I was in the prime of life, arrogant and domineering, unwilling to condescend to others, so I played with him three games, the first two games were won and lost, and it was still difficult to distinguish between the third set, because of the temporary battle of will, I forcibly shattered the one hundred and eight white sons who belonged to him on the chess game with sword intent, and destroyed the chessboard Buddha Baosheng, but the monk did not blame me for destroying his master's ancestral things, but smiled and watched me leave。 Afterwards, I meditated on the events of that day, and found that after I was the head of the sect, I would succeed the head of another faction, but I could not even see through the heart of victory and defeat, and I looked at this, although I had a chess opponent with the monk, in fact, the moment I drew my sword, I had already lost. ”

Ning Yuan was slightly shocked when he heard this, with his shrewdness, it was not difficult to guess who the monk in Xuan Xiaozi's true words was, but he didn't expect that this senior brother in charge of the sect and the master of the Buddhist sect had such a dispute in the past, his rank in Shushan was only under Xuan Xiaozi, and even he had never heard of such a thing, presumably it was a long past.

"East China Sea World Righteous Path Conference......" Ning Yuanshi frowned slightly, silently chanted, his heart suddenly moved, and suddenly woke up, isn't this conference a thousand-year-old event in the cultivation world?

In ancient times, hundreds of schools of thought contended, but after the flood war, tens of thousands of Taoist systems withered, the essence of the saints was lost, and the progress of the cultivation world almost fell into an inch-inch-frozen trough。

It's just that it's only held once because it's been too long, and Fang gradually becomes less known, but these veterans of these famous sects are naturally not unfamiliar with this, although Ning Yuanshi has not participated in the last East China Sea Conference, but he also knows some of these things more or less, and the Bing Lan Cloud Pavilion, one of the four major authentic sects in the world, now has a status in the cultivation world, and it seems that it was at that conference a thousand years ago that it was justified and truly established the position of the Northern Orthodox Sect.

Speaking of which, it's not that it's not shocking, this year's East China Sea World Immortal Cultivation Conference, unconsciously, seems to be not far from the time when the millennium is coming.

Ning Yuanshi silently turned the cup in his palm, suppressed all the thoughts in his heart, and quietly listened to the senior brother in charge slowly recount the past events.

"So I reminisced and introspected, personally went to Luofu to ask the monk for advice, this came and went, meditated and cultivated, and the realm of cultivation has been refined, but the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has never fallen in our mouths, but after a long time, I and the monk can be regarded as becoming a good friend, this "Bodhi leaf" is when I once took the child down the mountain to travel through Luofu, he personally gave it to me. ”

Xuan Xiaozi Zhenren's peaceful and slow voice, speaking of this, suddenly had a trace of strangeness, I don't know whether it was joy or sorrow, although it was imperceptible, but Ning Yuanshi still keenly felt it, who was that child, the first seat of this Dayan Peak knew it, but hearing this, Ning Yuanshi still couldn't help but be taken aback, his eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the golden light strange leaf in front of him, he didn't know what to think, he was very surprised, and said: "This Bodhi leaf, isn't it the leaf left by the tree in the legend of Buddhism?"

Xuan Xiaozi Zhenren smiled, turned his back to him, and nodded slightly.

Ning Yuanshi's body was shocked, his face was stunned, Rao is Taoist heart has been as quiet as a peaceful lake for many years, and at this moment, he couldn't help but be shocked by the slight movements of this senior brother and couldn't keep calm anymore, his face was full of disbelief. As the head of the Shushan lineage, he has a high seniority, and he can be described as a real master in the Xuanmen, and Ning Yuanshi is in the eyes of outsiders and even people in Shushan, although his temperament is disgusted with the world, and he is a little arrogant, but this does not hinder his knowledgeable reputation at all, otherwise the six veins will be martial arts that day, and when he sees Lin Chen and Ning Guixie being good friends, Bingxue is as smart as Yan Ruoxue and Ming Xiaoqian, and he will not specifically remind Lin Chen to be careful of Ning Guixi, speaking of his family heritage, he is by no means an ordinary character.

Although Ning Yuanshi is in the Daomen, he has a unique view of many doorways in the world of cultivating immortals, and he also knows some little-known allusions to Buddhism, and almost all Buddhist classics have descriptions, according to legend, the ancestors of Buddhism smiled under the tree, and realized the whole world, and the original thought of Buddhism was born from this, and then the Buddha closed his eyes with a smile, Nirvana and left, the same is under the tree, and that tree, the descendants respect its name "Bodhi", the word Bodhi, in Buddhism is the meaning of enlightenment, Seeing the nature of the mind and attaining the true meaning of the final great freedom and light is, broadly speaking, the great wisdom of cutting off the troubles of red dust and achieving nirvana.

Bodhi is not a tree, and the mirror is not a platform, but the tree is respected as "Bodhi" The name, it can be seen that the people in the Buddhist sect care for the tree to such a deep extent, but the legend since the Buddha's death, the Bodhi tree is also withering and withering day by day, it seems that the grass and trees have a spirit, but also follow the tree under the person who used to smile and pick up flowers to die together in bliss, and finally the tree weathered into dust, leaving only seven leaves that still remain in the Buddha nature, this Bodhi seven leaves from the Buddha as the supreme Buddha treasure enshrined, to this day, has long been in the world.

Anyone who has a little insight knows that the legend is difficult to study and cannot be believed, but behind the veil of mystery, there is always the most real side, if this strange leaf in front of him is really one of the seven leaves of the Buddha's supreme treasure Bodhi, then Ning Yuanshi was shocked by this, and it is reasonable.

"Master, he handed over this kind of Buddhist treasure to you, senior brother, I don't know what the meaning is inside?" Ning Yuanshi was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but ask out loud.

I don't want Lao Dao to shake his head lightly, sighed, turned to look at the golden leaf, and said: " Compared with old friends, my chess strength may be comparable to him, but to say that from the chessboard to see the providence, I do not have the confidence to compare with him, that night in the Fanyin Temple, he had vaguely seen something on the chessboard, to me to leave the child in the Fanyin Temple to study Buddhism with him for a hundred years, but refused to tell me why, such an unreasonable request, I categorically refused, he sighed, and I argued with unsuccessfully, left me this piece of gold leaf, to me within a hundred years of Ye not to leave, but at that time I was angry in my heart, after returning to Shushan, did not take his words to heart, the leaf is still on the side of the dust, out of sight is pure。 ”

Lao Dao's voice became lower and lower, and when he said it, he smiled slightly, and there seemed to be a faint gloom on his face, and said: "It wasn't until later, after everything happened, that I re-found this Bodhi leaf, and when I saw the eight words that suddenly appeared on it, I knew what he saw that night, and what I missed." ”

Ning Yuanshi's heart was slightly cold, the corners of his mouth moved, he looked at the old man with white beard, and couldn't help but say, "Senior brother, what eight words did you see at that time?"

"The sword cuts the fate of evil, and there is no successor. A hint of self-deprecation appeared on Xuan Xiaozi's face, and then disappeared, restoring the calm of the clouds and breezes.

Ning Yuanshi's face changed slightly, and he couldn't say a word.

"At that time, I realized that when I was young, I was jealous and hateful, and my hands were too heavy to kill, and his purpose in keeping me from leaving my body was to use the Buddha nature of this Bodhi leaf to eliminate the demonic nature secretly born in my heart, so that at the critical moment, I could control my emotions and not make a choice that I regretted for the rest of my life. ”

"It's just that the sword in front of the Lock Demon Tower, I still slashed it out after all. ”

When Lao Dao said this, he was silent, his eyes flickered, he was stunned, and after a while, he slowly let out a breath, as if there was an indescribable desolation and loneliness.

Ning Yuanshi was silent, the past that Shushan was ordered to be destroyed, no one dared to take the initiative to mention it in front of this old man, even him.

After being silent for a long time, Xuan Xiaozi Zhenren came back to his senses, looked at Ning Yuanshi's slightly gloomy face, smiled, and said, "Having said that, the purpose of Lao Dao's decision to go out of the mountain this time is because eight words appeared on this Bodhi leaf again, presumably the last words left to me by my old friend." ”

Ning Yuanshi was shocked in his heart, pondered for a moment, and under the gaze of the old Tao, he slowly stretched out his hand, picked up the leaf in front of him, and flipped it over.

I saw a faint Buddha light covering the back, and on the veined leaf surface, there were eight small golden words in the Buddha's words: "The demon came from the west, killing and becoming benevolent." ”

Ning Yuanshi's face changed, and after a while, he gasped, suddenly looked up at the old Dao in front of him, and said, "Is this also the creation that the master deduced?" But I still don't understand why the senior brother wants to go down the mountain for this. ”

"In the eyes of the world, in your eyes, the old way down the mountain this time, must hide a deep meaning, maybe many people will guess, but no one will think, it is just for a very simple reason, and no one remembers, before the Tao number of Xuan Xiaozi, Yu Ruoxiao of Shushan, what kind of character was it. ”

Xuan Xiaozi Zhenren stood by the window with his hands in his hands, his black purple robe floating in the wind, and said with a faint smile: " I haven't gone down the mountain for many years, missed too many scenery in the world, and even this catastrophe, I can only stay on a grass house in Shushan and watch the changes in the world under the clouds, this kind of life is too boring, if the meaning of burning bitterness is to tell me that the barbarian clan will attack from the west, endless killing and robbery will reappear in the red dust, that must be the most spectacular picture in the world for thousands of years, the limit is approaching, I naturally don't want to miss this last scenery, all say that the swagger is the descendant of the ancient demon god Donghuang, self-demonizing people is only a hundred years, but he is the most powerful man in the world, I have always wanted to meet him in person。 ”
