North Journey

When he came back from Jishan that day, Chu Ze and Chu Yuanlan had a detailed conversation, probably because of Ye Weiyan's feelings, Chu Yuanlan did not call him, but explained the old incident to Chu Ze alone .

I don't know exactly what the two of them said about Shang Shixu, but for Chu Yuanlan, the events of that year were also a knot in his heart, and even if he recounted it, he probably wouldn't talk about it in too much detail.After all, Yi Ren has passed away, and the culprit has dissipated in the world, and his soul does not exist, so what else can we say?

Therefore, it was normal for Chu Ze not to know about Bu Qingshan.

Since they had no other opinion, they went to Wusu naturally.Zen Master Xue Wang and Feng Zhi were also concerned about the sudden evil curse, and after discussing with several people, they decided to go together.

Along the way, the intimacy between Xue Wang and Feng Zhi made Jiang Minglan and the others a little overwhelmed, but in addition to embarrassment, a trace of envy inevitably arose.

Even though reason tells you that this shouldn't be the case, emotionally, women probably always hope to meet a man who is willing to do nothing for you...

——No matter what the world thinks of you, you are enough.

The closer to Wusu, the more barren the towns and villages are.Shang Shixu and his party were not ordinary people, so they simply stopped staying in inns and restaurants, but directly slept in the wilderness.

At this time, it is close to the sea feast, and the Tsowenbu Lake, known as the fairyland in the past, nourishes this land.Therefore, although the population here is lonely, the landscape and vegetation are thriving.

Although everyone was not afraid of the cold, when night fell, everyone still lit a bonfire.

Zen Master Xue Wang wore a white cassock that was as pure as the white lotus in front of the Buddha, but when they sat cross-legged to rest, they rolled up their cuffs and trousers for the sake of wind, and fished a few from the stream not far away. Huang fish.

Huangyu looks like catfish, but it has no scales, golden skin, thick and plump body, tender and plump meat, and only grows one or two a year. It is considered the best among ordinary fish.In addition, it only grows in Tsowenbu Lake and its tributaries. People who come to the vicinity of Tsowenbu Lake can hardly help but taste this rare "king of fish".

However, among the few people present, no matter who thought of trying this naked fish, they were not as shocked as Zen Master Xue Wang.

Practitioners are not greedy for food and drink, and Buddhists have never touched meat since the disciples of laymen.Although Xue Wang stopped Fanxin because of the wind and broke out, after a few days of walking together, even though there was still a grudge caused by the rumors before, everyone now respects him as a great power of Buddhism.Keeping the middle and keeping the integrity, flow but not profit, except for the gentleness and specialness towards Fengzhi, he treats all sentient beings with great compassion.

It's no wonder that Zen Buddhism, which values ​​disciples' style the most, didn't have the heart to expel him from the sect.

But, how could such a person violate the precept of killing again so frankly?

Perhaps because the surprised eyes were too obvious, Feng Zhi suddenly laughed,

"Little monk, you haven't forgotten that incident?"

Xue Wang devoted himself to dissecting Huang Yu, only turning his head slightly when Feng Zhi spoke.There is a smile on the corner of the lips, and the fire is gentle.

"Sister's words, I will never forget."

Probably because of the habit of being together when they were young, even though Xue Wang has grown into a man who is much taller than Feng Zhi, he still always calls Feng Zhi "Sister" as he did when he was a child.

And Feng Zhi always remembers the silly little monk he saw when he accidentally broke into that dilapidated temple, even though the little monk has grown up now, he still can't change his old address.

Before meeting the little monk, she was a demon who walked like the wind, traveled all over the world, but never stopped for anything.

After meeting the little monk, she somehow felt a bond in her heart, and wanted to leave the dilapidated temple several times, but every time she saw the little monk's penetrating eyes, she couldn't help but stamp her feet. , in response to his "sister".

She has reached the top level of cultivation, so why can't she see that the little monk has a deep root of wisdom, once she enters the Buddhist gate, all feelings will be cut off, and her nostalgia will only be mistaken for herself.

But who is she?How can a monster who has always been willful and willful give up the little monk he raised by himself to others in vain, so he used this excuse to stay by the little monk's side year after year.

The little monk loves Buddhism, and she taught him by herself, but she tricked him into making him promise not to shave off her black hair.

Later when people from the Zen sect came, she got a sense first, avoided those people, and made a century-old agreement with the little monk.

For a hundred years, she seemed to be free and easy, living the life before she met the little monk, but in her heart, she might not have no worries.

Fortunately, the little monk never betrayed her.

That day when she was at the gate of Zen Buddhism, when she stretched out her hand to the young monk, she saw the young monk's black hair like a waterfall, and her heart, which had wandered for a hundred years, was so settled.

"I'm here, do you want to come with me?"

"I've been waiting for you for a long time..."

Xue Wang's always detached face showed a tinge of grievance, the Zen disciples were all stunned, only her, full of pride.

She was indeed late for a few days. Although Yaoyue's invitation could be declined, it was rare for her to ignore it.

Being late is a woman's right, a hundred years have passed, so why care about these few days?

However, she did not expect the little monk to express her grievance so bluntly.

So the little pride of the elders floated up like this, and even regretted what he promised Yaoyue before.

But how can I show that I care so much about the little monk?She pretended to be disgusted, but she took the hand that the little monk offered.

"A mere few days, compared to a hundred years, what is it?"

"But... I don't see you in a day, it's like three autumns..."

At that time, the little monk's eyes were bright and bright. She didn't know if she was blushing, but she felt that her whole body was on fire.

So he didn't care to laugh at the appearance of those bald donkeys jumping in anger, and dragged the little monk to find Tianji.

With their cultivation level, they don't even need to protect the Dharma closely.She and the little monk found a place not far from Tianji to live in a hut there, which can be regarded as fulfilling Yaoyue's request.

After taking the fish that the little monk had grilled, Feng Zhi shook his head, and threw out those scenes that were not suitable for children.

Zen Zong looked serious, so there must be nothing good inside, otherwise how could he have ruined her cute and cute little monk.

The fish meat was delicious, and Xue Wang, who knew Feng Zhi's character, put the grilled fish at just the right temperature before handing it to her.Seeing Feng Zhichi's satisfied face at this moment, Xue Wang just sat quietly beside her and looked at her as he did a long time ago, occasionally helping her wipe the oil stains on the corners of her mouth.

Looking at the couple who inexplicably began to show their affection again, the few people who were meditating and practicing felt that they had been hit hard.

Chang Yi caressed her little heart and took a sneak peek at Chu Qin'er, only to find that she was staring blankly at the pair of you and me. Even if she looked away from time to time, she still fell on Fellow Daoist Changqing.

And Wen Yuyan looked at Pei Yushu, who was sitting in the farthest place from him and was practicing alone, his mind still, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.In the next second, he was at Pei Yushu's side, wrapped his arms around him, and held him in his arms.

"Little brother, why do you have to work so hard? If you want to surpass me as soon as possible, we can..."

The last few words were changed to sound transmission into secret, and the result was naturally that Pei Yushu went berserk.

Naturally, Yishang Shixu's xinxing would not be disturbed by these external affairs. He sat there quietly, not practicing, but just reviewing everything since he came to this world.

"Xiao Zang, they are your companions, right?"

Looking past the lovers, Shang Shixu teased Xuanzang and casually said such a sentence.

Xuanzang's brain hole shrank, and Dou Da's eyes almost became a circle in shock.

With Shang Shishu's keenness, it's not surprising that he would notice this, but the key point is that he didn't use her, but them.

Although he had already recognized his own destiny, he was still overwhelmed by such an existence.

No memory, no power, but some people can still make all living beings fear and understand everything.

He originally thought that he was the most important pawn among them, but now it seems that this may not be the case.All living beings are in the chess game, even if there is one less him, so what?

Thinking of this, Xuan Zang felt pity for Feng Jing.

He thought he had calculated the world, but he never thought that someone had already decided the ending ten thousand years ago.

Shang Shixu would never know what kind of association his inadvertent words made Xuanzang, and Xuanzang would not know that this game of chess was actually far longer and wider than he imagined.

The long river of time was touched by a "person" a long time ago, thousands of worlds have been made a chessboard for that "person" to fiddle with wantonly, but what is he looking for?

I am afraid that only the law that looks at the endless world can peep a little.

It's just that, for this special existence, even the laws are often unclear and unpredictable.

Wusu is just a small town with a population of only three to four hundred households, so Shang Shixu and others were quite surprised that there were evil cultivators here.

After a few days of rushing, they had already reached the outside of Wusu Township, but before they could enter, they were stopped by several travelers.

"Who are you?"

One of You Jiaozhong stepped forward and asked, with an obvious local accent in his words, looking at Shang Shixu and others with vigilance in his eyes.

Shang Shixu and the others were all dressed in beautiful costumes, and they were indeed rather abrupt in this barren place. Although they were stopped by bandits along the way several times as being taken advantage of, it was the first time they were stopped by someone as a suspicious person.

Before a few people could speak and explain, a figure familiar to Chu Ze, Xiao Ziyao and other former Mingde Academy students came from a distance.

"Brother Ji Xie, why are you here?"

Xiao Ziyao asked in surprise, and Chu Ze, Chu Qin'er, and Chang Yi also had the same doubts.

Back then, Mingde Academy was peaceful on the surface, but secretly there were two factions fighting each other.One faction is the disciples of the aristocratic family headed by Xiao Ziyao, while the other faction is the disciples of the poor family headed by Lin Jixie.

No matter which dynasty, the contradiction between the aristocratic family and the poor family is always difficult to coordinate.But those who can enter Mingde Academy are not mediocre, so although the two factions compete with each other, they can still be called "brother" on the surface.
