Chapter 22 Mingyue Mountain

Suddenly, the blackbird's wings moved in solidification, and suddenly came to life, and continued to swoop towards the earth rapidly, and the white light seemed to break through all the obstacles and suddenly accelerated, a hundred times faster than the blackbird's swooping speed. The moment the blackbird began to move, the white light had already passed over the blackbird, and then disappeared in a flash, disappearing into thin air.

The white light pierced through the body, and the blackbird fell violently, and its wings retracted, and it stood still in mid-air for a moment, and then fell from mid-air with the white bird. Two birds, one black and one white, crossed their necks and swirled slowly together until they fell into an invisible valley in the distance, leaving a strange trail in the sky.

All this happened so quickly that it ended before Lu Zheng could react. He was stunned to see everything happening, his mind was completely shocked by this poignant and tragic scene, he couldn't figure out how everything happened for a while, and weishenme ended abruptly in such a way, as if the white light with the momentum of slashing the sky and the earth, not only passed through the black bird, but also through his heart, piercing a big hole, making him feel extremely empty.

At this time, the world was still so silent and so dark, but Lu Zheng no longer had the illusion that heaven and earth were shijie in his heart, but clearly saw that he was under a pitch-black sky, and all the vitality on the mountains of the two realms was completely gone, and he couldn't help but wonder, it was still sunset just now, why did the sky get dark so quickly, and the thick blackness of this sky had a melancholy and depressing feeling. What's going on with this strange situation?

Could it be that the little divine power that the great monk said was activated, how could the scope be so large? If this is the case, wouldn't his vitality be exhausted in an instant, Lu Zheng was afraid for a while, and when he saw the ascetic standing still, he hurriedly shouted: "Great monk, great monk." The dervish finally hummed, but did not open his eyes.

Lu Zheng let out a sigh and hurriedly asked, "Great monk, what is that?"

He didn't say what he was asking, and the dervish had kept his eyes closed from the beginning to the present, but the dervish obviously understood that he was referring to the white light, and he didn't answer immediately, but stood for a long time before he sighed, and replied quietly, "That's mercy!"

Compassion, what compassion? Lu Zheng was so confused when he heard it, the ascetic said that he couldn't understand it at all, which made him feel more depressed in his heart just now, and at this time the ascetic recited the Buddha's name again, and was about to say something, when a ray of brilliance suddenly appeared in the sky, and then a huge moon appeared, and slowly rose to the center of the sky.

This moon is so big, Lu Zheng has never seen such a big moon, hanging in the air as if it is as big as the City God Temple where he lives. The bright moon shifted, and the moonlight instantly covered the earth, the darkness was broken, and the surroundings suddenly turned into white shijie.

Lu Zheng and the two are in a desperate ridge, where the black sky and white light converge, showing the mountains of the two worlds on the earth, moving naturally in black and white. Suddenly, the moonlight dimmed, and Lu Zheng looked up, only to see that in front of the bright moon, in the middle of the sky, a tall and beautiful mountain peak had risen. The mountain was suspended in mid-air, and the moon was hiding behind the floating peak. Half of the mountain was illuminated by the moonlight, but the other half seemed to be engulfed in darkness.

Lu Zheng's mouth opened wide in surprise, he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and he didn't know why a bright moon and a mountain peak suddenly appeared in the thick darkness in mid-air, and he was already stunned. At this time, the ascetic finally opened his eyes, turned his back to this Haoyue Peak, frowned slightly, and then stretched out, only to hear him say: "Little donor, this is Mingyue Mountain!"

Lu Zheng was called by him, and then he came back to his senses, and saw the great monk with his back to this wonderful and magnificent scene, and said in surprise: "Great monk, how do you look over there, this mountain is clearly ......" This turned his head, but made him open his mouth again, so surprised that he couldn't say anything anymore, and turned back again and again to confirm, sure enough, the sky on both sides had exactly the same bright moon and flying peaks.

Lu Zheng stammered a little and said, "Great monk, what's the matter...... How can there be two moons, two mountain peaks, how can this mountain fly in the sky?" The words fell, but the bright moon on his own side of the mountain suddenly disappeared, but the ascetic was still there, Lu Zheng shouted "wow", pulled the corner of the dervish's clothes, and said: "Great monk, great monk, I heard some people who go to sea say that there are monsters on the sea that can spit clouds and mist, and various scenes will appear, called mirages." Is this moon and mountain also a youkai? Or is this black mountain and white moon the same black bird and white bird that died just now, right?"

Lu Zheng had such an infatuation, and the ascetic did not look at him, but asked, "What did you see?"

Lu Zheng looked at the mountain peaks and the bright moon floating in the air, and replied, "There is a mountain peak in the sky, and there is a big moon behind the mountain. The mountain is very small, and the moon is very large, bigger than the Chenghuang Temple where I live, but the mountain is not visible clearly...... No, I saw clearly, there was a pavilion on the mountain, and there was another person in the pavilion...... Hey, no, why did the mountain get bigger. ”

Just as Lu Zheng said that the mountain peak was very small, and he wanted to see the appearance of the mountain peak, I don't know if his little magic power was activated, and suddenly the peak of the mountain peak in his field of vision was magnified several times, which allowed him to clearly see the grass and trees on the peak, there was an octagonal pavilion on the top of the peak, and there was a person in white sitting in the pavilion, with long hair scattered and his back to himself, which made people feel that he was pondering something, but he was so lonely, sitting alone in the pavilion under the moon, looking extremely lonely.

Just when Lu Zheng saw the back of the man in white, he felt a strong sense of loneliness, but at his age, he was a young man who was carefree, although he had suffered a lot, where could he understand this loneliness for a while, he only felt an indescribable melancholy in his heart, as if there was only such a back left in the vast world.

The bright moon was at the top of the pavilion at this time, and it had become only the size of a roulette wheel, but it was shining brightly. A thrilling round of bright moon leans on the mountain peak, and the peaks and moon follow each other, presenting a kind of wonder in the world.

Then the dervish asked, "What else do you see?"

Lu Zheng came back to his senses, pressed the chaotic feeling in his heart, took a deep breath, and said: "There is a person in the pavilion, and there is a person sitting in the pavilion, he is wearing white clothes and carrying a sword on his back! Lone Peak... Nearly the sky is high, I've seen it... Bustling... How much...... Eye!"

Lu Zheng wanted to see the face of the man in white, but the man in white didn't turn around, but he heard a voice around him, which seemed to be reciting a poem repeatedly.

Out of the lonely peak near the sky, how many eyes have you seen the prosperity!

When the dervish heard this, he frowned and asked, "It's a man in white, always with his back to you, and he can't see its front all the time, right?" Lu Zheng nodded yes, not understanding the ascetic weishenme frowned.

The ascetic sighed and said, "I didn't expect you to have such a fate and be able to meet him." Could it be ......" said this, but did not continue.

Lu Zhengdao: "Great monk, who is that man in white, is he an immortal? By the way, what kind of mountain did you just say this is?"

When the ascetic monk heard this, he relieved his sorrow, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "Mingyue Mountain! The Buddha is a mountain, the road is like the sea, and he is a strange person in the Taomen...... You'll learn about this later. Let me ask you, don't you think it's strange that when you want to see the top of the mountain, the things on the top of the mountain are magnified, right?"

The ascetic said that Lu Zheng suddenly felt that at the beginning of the moon rising, shining through the boundless darkness, he looked at the moon with all his heart, and the moon was amazingly big. Later, as the ascetic asked, he went to the top of the mountain again, and everything seemed to be closer to the top of the mountain, so that he could see it clearly. The sight was very strange, Lu Zheng hadn't reacted at first, but the dervishes said so, and sure enough, the mountain peaks and the moon could be very large and very visible, as long as you wanted to see them, or they could be very small, very inconspicuous, and everything was blurry, if you didn't notice them.

Lu Zheng looked at the moon and the mountain peaks, and suddenly said, "No wonder it's called Mingyue Mountain." Oh, by the way, you can see it, great monk, so this is not an illusion that I saw with my little supernatural powers?"

Just as Lu Zheng asked this, the dervishes had not yet answered. In mid-air, the bright moon suddenly closed, the brilliance was extinguished, and the peak of the bright moon suddenly disappeared. As soon as the wind sounded, a mountain breeze accompanied by the breath of grass and trees rushed over, and the two of them were still standing in place, and the surrounding Vientiane was still restored to its original appearance. The surrounding sky instantly returned to the original dusk and evening scene, in a red light, the sunset has been half into the mountain, and the scene of the sunset shining on the mountain that Lu Zheng saw just now is not too long in the past, between heaven and earth, the quiet breath disappeared without a trace, and the moonlit night wonder just now was like a dream.

Lu Zheng sighed and said, "Why is it gone!" Looking at the empty sky, thinking about the wonders of the peak and moon just now, and the lonely and lonely back, I felt all kinds of tastes in my heart, and I still felt infinite magic after a long time.

"All laws are like illusions, all actions are impermanent, and since they appear, they disappear. Facing the evening breeze, the ascetic said to Lu Zheng, "Little donor, you just mentioned the illusion of a mirage. The Buddha said that everything is impermanent, but in fact, everything between heaven and earth is like a mirage, all of which are illusions. Separation and integration, joy and sorrow, and the existence of dwelling and the destruction of emptiness are all illusions. But the only thing in front of me just now is not an illusion, that is, what you see with your naked eyes is real, not a fantasy created by a small supernatural power. ”

Lu Zhengdao: "But just now I saw the pair of lovesick harriers from a long distance, I have never seen such a bird before, according to what the great monk said, how can there be such an illusion? Great monk, you said that I just saw the white light, as well as the moon and the mountain peaks flying in the sky, it is not my hallucination, so how could they suddenly disappear? Great monk, I can't figure it out. ”

The ascetic said, "Little benefactor, you don't know. Acacia harriers rarely appear in the world, and it is said that only the infatuated people can move this bird to the world. It's not sentient beings, it's impossible to see them at all. They were the only ones who were seen, and nothing was seen. So it's not you who see the pair of birds, it's the pair of birds themselves that you see. So it's not your little Tianyan Tong and your little Tian'er Tong activation. ”

Lu Zheng heard this and said: "In this way, the great monk also saw the pair of birds, and the great monk is also a loving person. ”

The ascetic smiled slightly, his face showed an extremely gentle color, reached out and stroked Lu Zheng's head, and said, "The Buddha said that this shijie is the sentient world, and we all have sentient beings. After speaking, he sighed again, and there was a trace of sadness on his face.

Lu Zhengke never thought that this great monk would show such an expression, and he didn't know what the great monk remembered.

But the trace of sadness was only a flash, and the dervishew continued: "It's just that for some reason, this pair of birds is disabled? ”

"Sword Qi?" Lu Zheng asked, "What is Sword Qi?"

The ascetic nodded, as if with emotion: "The so-called sword qi is the magic spell of the Taoist cultivators. The poor monk has told you about the habits of the acacia harrier, just now the black bird is to be martyred for the white bird, and the sword qi on Mingyue Mountain appeared in order to kill the black bird before it touched the ground and died, so the poor monk said that it was compassion. ”

Lu Zheng suddenly realized: "That is to say, the person on Mingyue Mountain that you said was the great monk, he knew that this bird would definitely seek death, so he simply killed him and fulfilled its wish, is that so?"

The dervish said, "Exactly. The eight words 'allow life and death, indulge in a sword' are used to describe this sword qi. It is rumored that this sword qi is indestructible, nothing is broken, you see that white light is so fast and sharp, that the black bird cannot feel any pain, it has already died, this has reduced its pain a lot, do you think this is compassion?"

Lu Zheng only then understood the intention of the white light, no wonder the great monk would say mercy, the person on Mingyue Mountain must not be able to bear to see the blackbird fall to death, and understand that the blackbird must be martyred for the white bird, so he killed the blackbird, solved its pain, and fulfilled its wish to be martyred.

Thinking of this, Lu Zheng couldn't help but have a good impression of the white-clothed person, and said: "That person on Mingyue Mountain has such a high ability, he can make the whole mountain fly, and he can also send out such a powerful sword qi on the mountain, and he actually flew down from the sky, and I still feel very scared! Hey, if he is here, he can save the ninth brother!" Speaking of Zuihou, he couldn't help but feel a little low.

Seeing that he thought of his partner, the ascetic gradually became a little depressed, completely unaware that Lu Zheng's words in turn just showed that he was very incompetent and failed to save Tang Xiaojiu, but he explained with a smile: "This is impossible, the Mingyue Mountain where this predecessor lives is in the extreme west, nine thousand miles away from here! That sword qi is also from nine thousand miles away!"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Zheng was taken aback and said, "How is this possible, didn't he fly over with a mountain and a moon? Ah, now that the mountain peak and the moon are gone, is he going back nine thousand miles away? Nine thousand miles away, how can he see what is happening here? Then did he also see that night, the monster killed the ninth brother and me? He didn't save us?"
