Lin Chen said to himself, as if he didn't notice anything of the gaze behind him, he stood on the shore of this small lake next to the Zen courtyard, his eyes rippled slightly, quietly looking at the spring rain and flowers in the spring water and rain of the lake, and the green shirt on his body swayed slightly in the mountain wind, no one knew what he was thinking at the moment.

More than 20 years ago, an old woman with a child settled in a poor mountain village in the western wilderness, when the old woman died of illness, the child became a real orphan, the villagers never saw him cry and laugh, to regard him as a demon, abandoned him like a ghost, at that time, an old man with a gourd happened to pass there, inexplicably and the orphan eye-to-eye, the orphan was also led to the fairy mountain.

The orphan was young and ignorant, and he didn't know what a great immortal fate he had encountered, but after going to the fairy mountain, the cynical nature of "being a bad guy in this life" was gradually smoothed out by the smoke and haze of the world, and he slowly grew from an illiterate mountain child to a scholarly and unscrupulous young man in green shirts.

However, that year, he was kicked out of Xianshan for violating the old man's rules. Also in that year, with a curiosity, he had no long things, no fear, and traveled thousands of miles to Shushan alone.

Today, more than ten years ago, he has achieved success, inherited the peerless swordsmanship, and broke into a good and evil name, everyone knows him, standing in front of this deep mountain and lake, thinking about the past years, but his heart has a different taste.

At this moment, he didn't feel how wonderful the road he was taking, he just felt that he still wanted to go back to those old days of laughter, and he knew that this was not regretting the choice he made, it was just a memory of the past.

No one knows his origin, and he has never told anyone about his childhood, not that he deliberately concealed it, but now he can't remember the appearance of the loving old woman in his impression, and he feels strange even when he thinks about it, which is a price of irreversible precipitation, he has been afraid of this, and he has avoided it, but when one day, a late night, a dream and a scene hidden in the memory coincide, the churning of that moment will always make him wake up from the third watch, somewhere in the depths of his heart, he can't help but ache。

So he decided not to force memorization, this is not a deliberate forgetting, but a change of mentality.

In the past, after completing all the trivial things explained by the old man every day, the only thing he liked was to stay on the top of Yunshan, looking at the endless sea in front of him, and he was in a daze.

At that time, he was always delusional, and he always thought that maybe one day, he, a small fish, could go further, jump out of this sea, stand in a higher place, and just like this, the clouds above his head were rolling up, condescendingly looking at this world of withering and glorious.

He has come all the way like this, and now he is here, what else can make him stop?

Quietly looking at the spring lake in front of him, Lin Chen thought thoughtfully, put his hand behind the green shirt, and suddenly the corners of his lips curled slightly, and a refreshing smile of sunshine after the rain bloomed.

"I'm a lazy person, so I let myself forget the things I can't figure out, and I can remember them at any time. ”

"The Buddha said, life is made by oneself, and each other is born from the heart, and the wisdom of Senior Brother Jingchen is a hundred times better than that of me, a worldly man, so why should I cling to it and build a cage in front of my heart?"

Lin Chen smiled lightly, I don't know if he said it to Jingchen, or to himself, his calm and smiling gaze fell, and in a flash, in the small lake where the rain was rippling, it was suddenly sucked by an invisible tornado and violently shaken, a transparent beam of water, slowly forming a fish-shaped, in the eyes of everyone, jumped out, jumped out of the lake, swam happily between the rain curtains, swam to the sky, and then scattered into countless crystal splashes, floating away in the wind, completely blending into the sky and the night, never to appear again.

"Amitabha, good, good!"

Seeing this scene, the Master of Burning Suffering and several people recited a Buddha name in unison, their eyes flashed, complex and distinct, what kind of characters they were, how did they not know that this young man looked at the lake and realized, and stepped into some extremely mysterious state of mind.

"Born from the heart, let it be......" Jingchen muttered, losing his mind for a moment.

Lin Chen looked at the direction in which the void fish born of his mind dissipated, and was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed loudly, the laughter was indescribably chic and open, without a trace of distraction, and for a while it seemed that even the rain understood the meaning conveyed by his laughter, and it fell more quickly and bigger.

He brushed his clothes and turned around, and strode towards the gate of the Meditation Temple.

For a while, almost everyone's eyes fell on this young man who had been washed away by the heavy rain, and Jingming's eyes widened even more, and his heart was nervous, watching Lin Chen walk towards the gate of the Zen Temple step by step, and his breathing became short unconsciously.

In front of him was still the mossy and old threshold, Lin Chen's footsteps stopped in front of the threshold, looking at the deep place inside the door.

Not far away, there was silence under the big green tree, and everyone looked at him.

Jingchen still knelt on the ground, at this moment, his distracted eyes, after glancing at Lin Chen's back, gently raised his head, closed his eyes, let the rain hit his face, washed away the fatigue on his face, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes had returned to the past clarity.

"You ask me, what did I see in front of the Buddha. Lin Chen had a faint smile on his face, because of his back, everyone didn't know his expression at the moment, and suddenly became strange.

He seemed to be talking to himself, as if he were answering someone's words: "I see myself." ”

Everyone was stunned for a while, but when they saw Lin Chen's words fall, they raised their steps and walked towards the front door.

A bolt of lightning pierced the sky with teeth and claws, and the bright and righteous Buddha light burst out from the depths of the clouds in the distant sky, and a huge pillar of light passed through the heavy qi, shaking up countless clouds and falling to the ground, engulfing Lin Chen, including the entire Zen Temple.

In an instant, there seemed to be a rumbling sound between the valleys, like thunder and undulations, the rain in the sky suddenly waves, and a strong wind was born from it, from the original gentle surging momentum gradually whistling faster, turning into an invisible whirlpool, rolling the wind and rain, surrounding the figure, emitting a low roar, as if even the gods and Buddhas of the heavens were angry, to keep this arrogant person out.

In the vast night sky, the sky above this lonely place became a dazzling light, covering every corner of the place, making it impossible for anyone to look at it, and after a while, it gradually softened.

In the face of such a vision of heaven and earth, the people not far away, even the Master of Burning Suffering and several other Buddhist monks couldn't help but be shocked, whether it was the Linghui Zen Master back then, or the Master of Burning Suffering and the two of them, when they entered the Meditation Monastery in the past, they were far less mobile than Lin Chen's words.

"Master, this ...... What the hell is going on?" Jing Ming looked at the figure that was faintly visible in the pillar of light, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the masters, and lost his voice.

Master Burning Suffering was silent for a moment, sighed, and said: "Amitabha, the old man didn't expect that the latent aura on Lin Xiaoshi's body would be so fierce that it was enough to be unruly to the heavens, with the Buddha Qi spiritual power accumulated in our temple for thousands of years, it is also unknown whether it can help him subdue the demonic nature in his heart. ”

Jingming was stunned and dumbfounded, he only knew that Lin Chen's injury was caused by the evil Buddha power of the Witch Emperor, but he had never heard of such a terrible calamity on Lin Chen's body, and even the eternal spiritual power of Fanyin Temple was stirred by it.

......

There was a huge movement around him, but Lin Chen didn't seem to realize it, and at this moment, he once again entered the mysterious and real Buddha Sea Fantasy Realm.

Different from the last time, this time he could really feel the extremely pure and solemn Buddhist aura around him, he subconsciously closed his eyes, and carefully experienced this wonderful, clear and quiet aura that makes people's hearts like a mirror and stop water.

Lin Chen knew that this breath came from the Buddha's light that he bathed in, but this time he could feel this vast Buddha's breath like the sea, which was more due to his understanding of the lake, breaking the cage in his heart, making his Dao heart more clear and sublimated to a deeper realm.

When he opened his eyes, he looked at the familiar expanse in his dream, the void form born of the fear in his heart, and his mood was calm.

"You're here. A familiar, long sigh rang out from the depths of his heart.

"Here I go again. Lin Chen said with a smile.

"It seems that your heart has really become very strong. The voice sounded again, only this time, with a hint of appreciation in its cold indifference.

"Since you said you are me, then what do I have to be afraid of?" Lin Chen looked at the giant beast bound by the starlight and moonlight in the depths of the Tianhe River from afar, and said seriously.

The other party was silent for a long time, just waiting quietly in Lin Chen, but seeing that there was a fluctuation in front of him, the starry sky above his head slowly lit up, as if the light born from the depths of darkness formed two halves of the sky with the giant beast in the distance, half bright and half dark, and he stood on the side of the light.

Blurred, the huge black shadow in the depths of the darkness also changed, slowly shrinking and transforming into an ethereal figure, when Lin Chen saw the other party's pale and haggard face clearly, his calm heart still irrepressibly set off a storm.

It was clearly another self, except for the white hair on his head and the blood-red eyes full of violent killing!

He stood on the other side of the darkness, looking at himself on the other side of the light with a blank expression.

"You're going to kill me with the power of those bald donkeys?"

Lin Chen admitted: "Yes. ”

The white-haired Lin Chen sneered, stretched out his hand to the dark night dome above him, looked directly into Lin Chen's eyes coldly, and said, "If there is no darkness, how can there be light?"

Lin Chen frowned, "I don't understand what you're talking about, I know that your existence is born from the spirit of Long Dan, I admit that you are very powerful, so powerful that I look up to you, I may not be able to kill you, but at least you can't affect me anymore." ”

Unexpectedly, the white-haired Lin Chen seemed to hear his words, and he laughed as if he had heard some ridiculous words.

Lin Chen felt a nameless fire rising from the bottom of his heart, he held back his anger and said, "Is there anything ridiculous?"

"You don't understand, you still don't understand. ”

The white-haired Lin Chen glanced at him meaningfully, "You are in the light, there is darkness in your heart, you think you can deceive the heavens and the earth, but you don't know that you are only deceiving yourself, I will always look at you and curse you." ”

After he finished saying the last sentence, without waiting for Lin Chen to react, the entire Buddha Sea Illusion Realm collapsed.

"Wait!

Lin Chen's face turned pale and shouted loudly, but his eyes changed, and after a trance, his divine consciousness had returned to reality.

Wheez, deep gasp!

He stared at the place where he stepped on his toes in a daze, and his heart was at a loss.

Before he knew it, he had crossed that threshold.
