Immortal and Demon Cultivation

Guan Shaoqin is too clever for her own good, and it is not her fault, but her personality.

She is a typical egoist. When such a person encounters something, the first thing she does is to weigh the pros and cons. Anything she does must be beneficial. If it is not beneficial, she will never do it.

She put herself in Ye Xiaochuan's perspective to think about the trip to the Forgetful Sea. After thinking about it, Ye Xiaochuan can only make her famous at most, and it is almost impossible to get substantial benefits.

Moreover, it has been less than half a year since the integration of the Ghost Xuan Sect, and now is the most critical moment for the Ghost Xuan Sect. If Ye Xiaochuan becomes a hands-off manager at this time and runs to the dangerous Forgetful Sea to find the Wood God's relics, the disadvantages will outweigh the advantages.

Therefore, Guan Shaoqin speculated that Ye Xiaochuan was just using this matter to gain fame for himself. When the fame is almost earned, he will just make a public announcement saying that this matter is completely false.

After all, this rumor did not come from him, but from Baili Yuan, Achi Tong and others. He can completely shift the responsibility to these people.

However, some people disagreed with this opinion.

Yang Yishuang hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Pavilion Master, regarding the matter of the Forget Love Sea, Shuang'er feels that it is probably not groundless."

Guan Shaoqin and others looked at Yang Yishuang.

Although Yang Yishuang is now a senior leader of Piaomiao Pavilion and is hailed as Su Xiaoyan's successor, Su Xiaoyan and Guan Shaoqin are still alive and very young. Yang Yishuang does not have much real power in Piaomiao Pavilion. Generally, she only listens to such top-level small meetings and rarely speaks.

Yang Ling'er said: "Junior Sister Shuang'er, do you think this matter is possible to be true?"

Yang Yishuang nodded gently.

She bit her lip and said, "According to the investigation of our disciples of Piaomiao Pavilion, the first to spread this news were Baili Yuan, Qin Fanzhen, Miss Axiang, Liu Jiao, Sikong Zhaixing, Zhou Wu and other righteous casual cultivators, as well as Achi Tong, Lu Haiya, Qu Xianer and other casual cultivators of the Demon Sect.

These people have one thing in common, they are all survivors of the battle of the Great Snow Mountain ten years ago.

Baili Yuan and others are friends of life and death with Ye Xiaochuan. Achi Tong and others have been trying their best to help Wang Keke in the temple recently, and have completely surrendered to Ye Xiaochuan.

As good friends of Ye Xiaochuan who have been through life and death together, they know much more secrets about Ye Xiaochuan than other high-level members of the Ghost Xuan Sect.

Some time ago, only Baili Yuan and others knew about Ye Xiaochuan. Yuan, Lan Qiyun, Zhou Wu, Li Qingfeng, Liu Jie, Xiaochi and others lived in seclusion in Tiansheng Cave in Qilin Mountain.

However, Sikong Zhaixing, Bao Renhe, Mo Shaolin, He Miao, Zhu Chongsan, Yu Fenghua, Ling Xue, Zhao Sili and others suddenly appeared in Qilin Mountain.

Based on my understanding of Ye Xiaochuan and others, Ye Xiaochuan probably really intends to go to the Forget Love Sea for training.

The Forget Love Sea is dangerous and unpredictable, and the Ghost Xuan Sect has just established itself in the Western Regions, so it is impossible to dispatch many masters to accompany him.

Ye Xiaochuan can only gather people he trusts to go together.

Baili Yuan, Zhou Wu, Lu Haiya and more than 20 survivors of the battle in the Great Snow Mountain are the best candidates. "

Guan Shaoqin, Su Xiaoyan and Yang Linger looked at each other.

Guan Shaoqin said, "What Shuang'er said is not unreasonable, but it is just speculation now.

Shuang'er came out of the Nether Sea with Baili Yuan, Qin Fanzhen, Liu Jie and others, and has a good relationship with these people.

Shuang'er, why don't you ask these people about the authenticity of this news.

Whether Ye Xiaochuan goes to the Forget Love Sea or not is a big deal, which can almost change the current situation of the world.

If he really goes, we have to prepare early."

Yang Yishuang was unwilling to use her relationship with Baili Yuan and others to find out Ye Xiaochuan's secrets.

However, since Guan Shaoqin spoke, she couldn't refuse.

In addition, Baili Yuan's relationship with Ye Xiaochuan and others has not changed much, and she is still the closest group of people to Ye Xiaochuan.

Yang Yishuang was very sad that she was excluded from Ye Xiaochuan's circle.

She also wanted to take the opportunity to contact Ye Xiaochuan more.

Over the years, she has been unable to let go of Ye Xiaochuan in her heart, and countless times in her dreams at midnight, she always saw the figure of that man.

She couldn't accept that Ye Xiaochuan and herself were strangers.

So Yang Yishuang said: "I just came back from Qilin Mountain. Baili Yuan and others should still be in Qilin Mountain. I will return to Qilin Mountain as soon as possible to find out the truth of this news."

At night, Xumi Mountain, the back mountain of Wanfo Peak.

Wuzi Cliff.

The tall Wanfo Peak blocked the moonlight, and the Wuzi Cliff in the back mountain seemed a little dim.

When Ye Xiaochuan returned to Wuzi Cliff, he saw Yun Qiyou and Xuanying standing in front of the huge statue of Buddha holding a flower. Master Kongyuan was still sitting on the cushion. Monk Jiekong, who had been standing all day, was also sitting cross-legged on a cushion behind Master Kongyuan.

Ye Xiaochuan's arrival did not attract the attention of these two monks.

Only Yun Qiyou looked back at Ye Xiaochuan.

Ye Xiaochuan said nothing, and once again landed on the lotus platform and looked at the Wuzi Cliff in the north.

The three old monks had withdrawn their Buddha power, and the Wordless Cliff returned to its former appearance, and the verse of the Sixth Patriarch Huineng also disappeared.

Ye Xiaochuan sat cross-legged, ready to take advantage of the two hours when the moon rose above the Wordless Cliff to sort out some of the past events of the Wordless Cliff.

Pushing the moon in front of the window with both hands.

A stone breaks the sky in the water.

This should be a clue.

But the Fairy Jinghai did not have the hint of these two sentences, and still cracked the secret of the Wordless Cliff, which shows that there is still another way.

Xuanying walked up to Ye Xiaochuan and said, "Xiaochuan, Xiaoyou has told me before that the third sister gave a reminder. Since you are the destined person recognized by Kasyapa Temple, do you have anything unique about this sentence?" insights?”

Ye Xiaochuan shook his head and said: "Your father is very eclectic and cannot think about the riddle in front of him with normal people's thinking.

What's more, didn't Fairy Jinghai decipher the secret of Wuzi Cliff with these two hints in the riddle?

I always feel that the layout here and the name of Wuzi Cliff are a bit weird. "

Xuan Ying said: "Tell me about it."

Ye Xiaochuan said: "Wuzhi Cliff, Wuzhi Cliff, since it is Wuzhi Cliff, why does the verse left by your father appear on the cliff?

Since there are words on the stone wall, why is it called the wordless cliff?

I don’t think the significance of that verse is very great.

If the method to unlock the secret of Wuzi Cliff was really hidden in the Zen principles contained in the verses, it would have been cracked by Buddhist monks long ago, and it would not have been delayed until now.

There is also this grotto Buddha.

This is a half-moon-shaped arc-shaped cliff, with the waterfall in the south, the wordless cliff in the north, and the Buddha statue in the east.

The Buddha sits facing east and west. Don't you think it's strange? "

Xuan Ying said: "The west is the paradise of Buddhism. There should be nothing wrong with the Buddha statue facing the west."

Ye Xiaochuan did not speak, but Yun Qiyou said: "The Buddhist sect in China, whether it is Zen or Tantric, all believe in Sakyamuni Buddha.

Sakyamuni came from Western India, and Buddhism was introduced from the west to the east. The statue of Buddha should be facing left and west, which means that he came from the west and preached to the east.

Generally, the Buddha statues in temples are almost always facing west and facing east. A small number of them are facing north and south, and rarely they are facing east and west. "

Ye Xiaochuan said: "Not only that, it is recorded in the Buddhist classic "Five Lanterns Huiyuan·Seven Buddhas·Sakyamuni Buddha": "Buddha preached to the east at the Lingshan meeting, held flowers and showed them to the crowd. Everyone was silent, except Kasyapa. The venerable man smiled. "

This is the allusion of holding flowers and smiling.

The Sakyamuni Buddha in front of us has his fingers in the shape of holding flowers, which is obviously a metaphor for the scene where the Buddha held flowers and preached in Lingshan.

It is clearly recorded in the classics that at that time the Buddha was facing east to preach.

But in the stone sculpture in front of us, the Buddha faces west.

There is another sentence in the allusion of holding a flower and smiling. The Buddha held a flower to indicate that the three thousand Arhats did not understand the meaning. Only the Venerable Kassapa smiled. At that time, the Buddha said, among the three thousand Arhats, the one who teaches me is Kassapa. Ye Yiren also.

This is also the origin of the name of Kasyapa Temple.

It is entirely possible to metaphorize the Buddha's sermon at the Lingshan Mountain to the scene in front of you. The Buddhist scriptures are here, but only one person can decipher the inheritance.

I think Wuzi Cliff is a cover. The real secret is not on the cliff, but on the Buddha statue. "

Kong Yuan and Jie Kong below the Buddha statue raised their heads at the same time and looked at the Buddha statue.

The water in the waterfall also stopped flowing, and the three old monks appeared again.

They had been staring at Wuzi Cliff for hundreds of years, and after listening to Ye Xiaochuan's words tonight, they finally took a serious look at the huge Buddha statue in the east for the first time.

Xuan Ying still disagreed and said: "Your analysis just now is not enough to explain that the secret is hidden on the stone statue of Buddha.

Do you have any other evidence? "

Ye Xiaochuan said: "There is a lot of evidence. For example, Mount Xumi has been a Zen holy land since ancient times, but your father carved tantric verses on the cliff. This is not normal.

Secondly, as the ghost girl said, she pushed the moon out of the window with her hands and broke the sky in the water with one stone.

The sky is not above, but in the water. This sentence should be understood to mean that everything in front of you is like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, they are all illusions.

If I guess correctly, the secret of Wuzi Cliff can only be solved after midnight tonight, when the moon rises above Wuzi Cliff, through the reflection in the water. "
