Shen Yaolu

Being dragged by the past early in the morning to the bottom of the Qianzhang Stream, Zhong Yu was a little speechless——what do you want to do?

The past life answered simply: "Teach you the art of flying."

Although you are a mortal now, your body was reborn after 3 years.Now all kinds of ghosts are staring at your body. You don't know any spells, so you are very dangerous.Although the flying body technique cannot defend against the enemy, it can still help you escape.

"Huh?" Zhong Yu smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will run away from you?"

Passing away indifferently, "Can you escape?"

Zhong Yu became uninterested when the other party pointed out his weakness. "Okay, I got it." He found a boulder and sat on it, "You teach me."

In the next two hours, Shisheng taught Zhong Yufei the formulas and internal techniques of the body technique, and personally took him from the bottom of the gorge to the top of the mountain.But he ignored that Zhong Yu is now a mortal, even if he can teach and remember clearly, it is impossible for him to master the flying body technique immediately.

Seeing that Zhong Yu had spent a long time there, and his feet didn't leave the ground half an inch, his expression became serious—are you perfunctory?

"I'm serious, okay?" Zhong Yu also lost his patience, "I'm a mortal now, and I don't have any foundation in cultivation. You can't blame me if you can't learn it!"

Zhong Yu's words were true, which made the past life even more depressing, he gave Zhong Yu a look, turned around and flew up.Seeing him leave, Zhong Yu was dumbfounded, "Where are you going?"

The voice of passing away echoed in the mountain stream, "You fly up by yourself, or stay at the bottom of the stream forever."

"Hi!" Zhong Yu yelled, "Did you have a bit of teacher morality in the past life, okay! Hey!"

The only response to him was his own echoes in the mountain stream.

He sneered--you are so cruel, you are reincarnated.

This seat has no mana right now, so you can bully me, and later... Humph!

Throw Zhong Yu in the Qianzhang Stream, and die standing on the top of the mountain.The cliff at the foot is as steep as an ax chopping a knife, and the rain and mist floating on the mountainside are like raging waves, which makes people feel timid.The past life stared at the bottom, motionless.

Thinking about rebirth: Anyway, Zhong Yu was a devil emperor in his previous life, so it's not true that he can't even learn such a little magic.

The cloud and mist changed into thousands of shapes, sometimes birds jumped out of it, but there was no human figure.It wasn't until the clouds and mist were smudged with a layer of red that Xiangsheng raised his head.

The sun is going down...

Why hasn't he come up yet...

It really is a mortal body, is it difficult to cultivate?

Unknown in his past life, Zhong Yu actually tried the flying body technique hundreds of times, but none of them succeeded.He also sprained his foot. He felt bitter, but he had nowhere to vent it, so he simply gave up.

The river is so clear, it is very happy!

So the scene he saw when he flew to the bottom of the stream was Zhong Yu soaking in the river water - he was taking a bath.

"It's actually being lazy!"

Hearing the voice of passing away, Zhong Yu turned around.He didn't know the past life was a little angry, and shouted with a smile: "You are here!"

Walking to the river, Xiangsheng looked down at Zhong Yu from above, and said solemnly and indifferently: "You are comfortable and at ease."

Standing against the backlight, Zhong Yu couldn't see his expression clearly.He said: "The water in this river is very refreshing, do you want to come down?"

Past life did not speak.

Zhong Yu thought that passing away was embarrassing, so she joked: "Passing away, it's fine if you don't eat, you don't even take a bath, do you?"

"Come up."

Just when he was about to turn around, Xiangsheng suddenly felt his calf being pulled away by a force—Zhong Yu grabbed his hem while he was not paying attention, and a clever force pulled him into the water.

"Come down you!"

Immediately, water splashed everywhere, his white clothes were soaked, and the icy river water surrounded his whole body, making Wang Sheng shudder.

He looked at Zhong Yu blankly, but saw the man smiling happily opposite him.

"How to die, isn't it cool?"

"You!" I didn't know what it was like in my heart for a moment, and I raised my hand to recite the silent mantra.Zhong Yu hurriedly said: "One thought of hatred will open a million barriers, and one who cultivates Buddhism must not violate the precept of hatred!"

The dead hand stopped in mid-air awkwardly - Zhong Yu actually told him not to be angry with the Yanhuajing.

Seeing that the past life stopped, Zhong Yu immediately smiled and said: "I was just playing with you, don't be angry."

All words of reproach were blocked in his chest, and Xiangsheng stared at him for a while.

Zhong Yu was injured on the shoulder by the Painted Skin Ghost before. Although the wound has healed, the scar is thick and long, lined with white skin, very hideous.

Seeing the wound, the past life was much calmer.He put down his hand, a little helpless.

"Nonsense," he said, "come back with me."

Zhong Yu didn't take it seriously, he put on his clothes, and followed his past life back to the Zhulin Xiaozhu openly.

Changed into clean clothes, took out the wooden fish and sat in front of the house, closed his eyes, and silently recited the Nirvana Sutra while beating.Zhong Yu found a place to sit on the ground. He looked at the past for a while, and when he thought of something, he picked up a bamboo leaf from the ground and put it to his lips, and suddenly the sound of the leaf flute sounded.

The sound of the flute is like a gurgling stream, crisp and melodious. When it hits the ears, the mind is quiet, and the eyes are opened involuntarily.

The fine strands of hair on the forehead were blown tousled by the wind, Zhong Yu's face became more angular in the yellow twilight, a pair of penetrating and bright eyes contained a slight smile, and she put her slender fingers on her lips.

Looking at the past life, I was a little stunned——the eyebrows are picturesque, as it should be.

At the end of the song, Zhong Yu smiled and said to the past: "This song is called "Lovesickness". Do you listen to it?"

After passing away, he answered irrelevantly, "Zhong Yu, what a good name."

Zhong Lingyuxiu, I am afraid that in this world, there is nothing more beautiful than this.

"Why did you suddenly mention this?" Zhong Yu laughed out loud, "Are you praising me?"

"Well," he said, "it's a good piece."

"How do you like it?"

Like I can teach you next time.

"Teach me?" Wang Sheng shook his head and said, "There is no such thing as an apprentice teaching a father in this world."

Zhong Yu laughed loudly when he heard this, "Death, you said that you have cultivated for so many years, how come you have cultivated an elm head!"

The deceased immediately said: "If you are not polite, you should be punished."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." Reaching out to cover her mouth, Zhong Yu could only hum.He opened his eyes wide to signal his death—look, I can listen to you.

Showing a funny expression, Zhong Yu is as naughty as a child.His heart softened, and he couldn't help laughing.

That smile was as shallow as a superficial touch, but it still caught Zhong Yu's eyes - the facial features of the previous life were beautiful, and when he smiled, there was a dimple on the right corner of his mouth.Zhong Yu couldn't help but said, "Passion, you look so pretty when you smile."

You should smile more.Keeping a straight face all day long, neither happy nor angry, like a wooden man, what's the point of living!

Realizing his gaffe, Shisheng instantly returned to his indifferent expression.He looked at Zhong Yu, and said in a cold voice, "Today, if you haven't learned the flying skill, you will be fined to clean up the front of the house."

Zhong Yu was not in a hurry, An Ran said: "Then you have to pull me up first."

"Ok?"

"Oh, how you don't care about me! Didn't you realize that I came back with a limp?"

Xiangsheng was stunned for a moment, walked up to Zhong Yu and squatted down, reached out and touched his ankle - there was a big swelling there.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I'm afraid you'll be worried." Zhong Yu clicked his tongue, "If I knew that you ignored me so much, I should have kept making noises in front of your eyes so that you could notice me."

"..."

Are you not rambunctious enough?

Feeling helpless, Shi Sheng helped Zhong Yu up, "Go to the house, I will treat you."

"Haha." Zhong Yu leaned on Wang Sheng, feeling extremely complacent—without mana, it doesn't mean that you will have the upper hand every time.

Just accept your fate and lose to me this time!

The bamboo leaf fell to the ground silently.

In October, it was late autumn, but Qingyuan Mountain was full of flowers—it was located in the south, and it was like spring all the year round.

During this period of time, Zhong Yu listened a lot, and went to Qianzhangjian every day to learn the art of flying.At noon that day, he came to Peach Blossom Rock and shouted at Zize Waterfall: "I have learned the art of flying!"

He waited for the reincarnation behind the waterfall to return to him, but there was no sound for a long time.

Knowing that that person must be practicing Buddhism again, Zhong Yu had no choice but to wait outside.

The sky is like a transparent silk handkerchief, and the dots of fine clouds are like magnolia flowers embroidered on it.A black chaffinch flitted across the sky and stopped on a tree not far away.Zhong Yu stared at the black swallow for a while, then suddenly smiled.

"How did you come?"

Hearing the voice of passing away, Zhong Yu turned around.He proudly said: "I have learned the technique of flying, so I came here to tell you!"

"Yeah." Xiangsheng turned around and was about to leave.

Grasping the hand of the past life, Zhong Yu felt that this monk was really indifferent. "It took me a lot of effort to learn it, so you can't praise me!"

Withdrawing his hand, he said in rebirth: "Arrogance will only confuse the mind. If you want to practice Buddhism, your mind must be like still water."

Zhong Yu grinned, thinking: I don't want to practice Buddhism!

"Then you don't praise me, you have to reward me!"

I heard that there is a rally in Lupu Town today. Last time we went there to practice medicine, we didn't bother to have a good time. Let's go and have a look this time.

"This..." Xiangsheng hesitated a little - he saw Zhong Yu's expectant expression.

"...Okay then, but you have to follow me carefully."

Zhong Yu immediately laughed out loud and said, "Okay, I will never run around!"

The place below the mountain is much more lively than that on Qingyuan Mountain.The thin sunlight shines on the cornices of the red brick and green tile pavilions. There are many shops on both sides of the street, and people come and go in the middle.This is a large-scale gathering that only happens once a year in Lupu Town, and jugglers come to the hot spot.There are porcelain clay figurines, antique calligraphy and paintings on the booths, all kinds of rare things, dazzling.

He hasn't swam in the world for 3 years, Zhong Yu is very excited, look here, look there.Wang Sheng followed behind him expressionlessly—it was really strange for a monk in white to walk among the world of mortals.People passing by cast strange glances at him, but he didn't squint and stared straight at the people in front of him.

Arriving at a jewelry stall, Zhong Yu stopped, he was quite interested in the row of hairpins.

Seeing Zhong Yu's gorgeous clothes, the proprietress thought that he must be a son, so she recommended him with a gold hairpin, "Young master is suave, this gold hairpin is just right for you!"

"Oh?" Zhong Yu pointed to the white jade hairpin on her head and asked her: "Is there anything better than mine?"

His white jade hairpin was made of cold jade from Kunlun, carved with patterns of auspicious clouds, translucent and pure, like curdled fat, it looked like a treasure at first sight, the proprietress was dumbfounded.

Can't help laughing, Zhong Yu looked at it for a while, picked out a wooden hairpin, and asked: "What kind of wood is this hairpin made of?"

"It's made of elm."

He took the wooden hairpin to the past life, "I think the hairpin is quite suitable for you, right the lady boss?"

Seeing him giving the hairpin to a monk, the proprietress felt embarrassed and didn't know what to say, "Master, this little master doesn't need hairpins."

"Ha, lady boss, you don't understand now." He looked at the past life with a smile, and said, "The world is changing, who knows what will happen in the future! Right, little master?"

Glancing at him, Xiangsheng said calmly: "I'll find a place to rest."

At the end of the gathering was a gazebo, where several people were already sitting.Zhong Yu didn't keep up with Xiangsheng, so Xiangsheng decided to wait for him in this gazebo.When he entered the pavilion, everyone couldn't help looking at him—after all, monks are rare, so it doesn't matter how strange they are.

The man sitting opposite was wearing a purple dress, and he looked like a rich man.After watching the past life for a long time, he whispered a few words to the servant beside him, and suddenly laughed.Walking in front of the past life, he respectfully asked: "But the past life master of Qingyuan Mountain?"

Xiangsheng raised his head, paused slightly, "Hmm."

The indifferent answer from the past life made the man not only not angry, but even happier. "Qin was rescued by the master before, escaped from death, and has not yet thanked the master. It is really a blessing for Qin to meet here now!"

Hearing what he said, he took a closer look at the person in front of him - it turned out to be Qin Yixuan, the head of the Qin family.

Qin Yixuan has always remembered his savior, but unfortunately he was unconscious that day and did not see the face of the deceased.Today, it was the servant reminding him that he recognized the person opposite.

"Qin also said that he would go to Qingyuan Mountain to pay his respects in person on a good day. If we meet the master today, let Qin repay the favor first." He told the past life, "I will go to the house to prepare the vegetarian food. Can the master go?" Have a party at my house?"

"The poor monk is waiting for someone, so don't bother Patriarch Qin."

"Hey, master, don't say that." Qin Yixuan was very enthusiastic, "Who are you waiting for, master? I'll ask my servant to guard here and bring him to the residence when he comes."

"This is not right..."

"Qingsheng, I found you!" Zhong Yu appeared just in time - he saw Xiangsheng with a group of strangers from a long distance away, and was immediately upset, and ran to Xiangsheng.

Seeing him coming in the past life, his expression eased a little. "Why so long?"

Zhong Yu didn't answer, but squinted his eyes and looked at Qin Yixuan, then suddenly said: "So it's the Patriarch of the Qin family who is haunted by ghosts."

During this time, you haven't provoked the female ghost, have you?

Softly calling Zhong Yu's name, he signaled him not to talk nonsense.He apologized to Qin Yixuan and said: "This is the poor monk's apprentice Zhong Yu, he speaks freely, please forgive me, Patriarch."

Qin Yixuan was really embarrassed by Zhong Yu's words, knowing that he was an apprentice who passed away, even though he was puzzled, he didn't dare to offend him. "Haha... This Master Zhong Yu is really a bold person..."

"I can't bear the title of master." He was sharp-tongued, catching Qin Yixuan's weakness and knocking at Qin Yixuan, "You just don't come to cause trouble for my family in the next life."

His face paled, Qin Yixuan could only nod with a dry smile.

Knowing that Zhong Yu's temperament has always been like this, Xiangsheng shook his head helplessly, and he said to him: "Let's go."

"You just left like this?" Zhong Yu felt relieved when he left the gazebo, and he said to the past: "It's not polite for you to leave the head of the Qin family there."

"If you feel inappropriate, you can go to the Qin residence."

"Ha, I'm not going! If Qin Yixuan didn't have any bad intentions, how could he be entangled by that Painted Skin Ghost. I don't want to befriend such a hypocrite." He said, grabbing the sleeve of the past life, "In your next life, you will seldom talk to those people in the future. Their thoughts are not pure, they are not good things, and they will delay your cultivation of Buddhism!"

Delay my cultivation of Buddhism?

He stopped, feeling at a loss in his rebirth—after practicing for so many years, and having witnessed how many bleak worlds, he felt powerless for the first time.

...Who on earth is delaying my cultivation of Buddhism...

Seeing that the past life stopped, Zhong Yu thought that what he said made him unhappy again.I thought: For a long period of time in the future, I will live with him. I am not as good as others now, so it is better not to mess with him.He took out a small item from his lapel, "Here, I bought you a present."

You monk, you are deserted, no one has given you anything, right?

The thing was wrapped in a white square scarf, and upon opening it, it turned out to be the elm hairpin that Zhong Yu had taken a fancy to at the rally just now.

Surprised in the afterlife—why did you send me this thing?

"I'm happy to send you off." He was very satisfied with the surprised expression on his past life, "Besides, elm hairpins and elm heads are a perfect match in the world."

This remark was obviously a joke about rebirth, he didn't want to blame Zhong Yu, so he suppressed his anger and said, "I don't need hairpins, you can keep them."

"You can't even afford this kind of little joke, can you?" Zhong Yu likes to see the look of being angry but unable to get angry in the past life, "Aren't you a Buddha yet? Maybe one day you grow your hair and return to vulgarity. The hairpin will come in handy."

When it came to the matter of cultivating Buddhism again, Zhong Yu was deliberately angry with him. "Do you want to be punished again?"

Zhong Yu immediately said: "Don't punish me!"

Anyway, I pawned my white jade hairpin to buy this thing for you. If you refuse to accept my kindness, don't take revenge!

Wang Sheng frowned——Zhong Yu's long ink-colored hair was scattered around his neck, and there was no hair ornament on his head.

How did you take it for granted?

Zhong Yu smiled lightly, and said: "Little master, you have stayed in the mountains for too long, and you don't know how expensive rice is in the world!"

If you don’t take it for granted, how can you have the money to buy things for you!

"But……"

"Don't say anything more, anyway, the hairpin is not a precious thing." He put the hairpin in the palm of his hand, "I don't give away things easily, this hairpin is very precious, you have to keep it away."

Someday, I want to see you wear it.

It is really rebellious to say such words to those who practice Buddhism.But the past life itself has a mediocre temperament, knowing that Zhong Yu became his hairpin for him, he couldn't get angry.

As the days grew longer, the gap between the two of them gradually weakened.But Zhong Yu really cared about him, but it made him confused.He was just trying to get Zhong Yu to become a Buddha, so he shouldn't get involved too much.

Besides, our grievances and hatreds from previous lives are still there.

He didn't say much, just put the hairpin into his sleeve and walked forward.

Zhong Yu followed behind him and didn't speak any more - a tacit understanding had been formed during this time, he knew what the past life was thinking.

But things are not so easy in the world, all causes and effects are achieved step by step, and it is too late to regret.

On the second day after returning to Qingyuan Mountain, Zhong Yu developed a high fever.Although he ate the elixir of the Supreme Lord and practiced for a period of time, his body is still the same as that of ordinary people.At this time, his face was pale, his lips were chapped, and he was delirious with fever.Diagnosing his pulse and dispensing medicine in the past life, he lost a lot of spiritual power, but he didn't see any improvement.

What kind of madness is it that even I can't cure...

Zhong Yu also woke up several times during his drowsiness. He laughed when he saw the past life sitting by the bed. "My body is not up to par, so I have to trouble you, little master, to take care of me personally."

This kind of pretending to be relaxed made the brows of the past life frowned even deeper, "Don't worry, with me by your side, you won't die."

"Oh, it's just a minor illness, how could death be so serious..."

"You are sick..."

"I know."

Although I am a mortal now, I am not stupid.The disease that even your deceased venerable can't cure must be a chronic disease.I lost to you in my previous life, and now I am down to this point, a little illness is nothing.

Reminiscing about the past, Zhong Yu seemed a little sad.The past life will not comfort people - between them, they were enemies before, but now they are masters and apprentices, but the past life knows that Zhong Yu is still the arrogant and crazy devil emperor in his bones.If he hadn't fallen into such a situation, he wouldn't have stayed by his side obediently.

"You rest here, I'll go down the mountain to find some medicinal materials."

Zhong Yu forced a smile and told him, "Take care of yourself."

The past life couldn't help being moved, he stiffened for a moment, then got up and went out.

Bodhi is inherently self-nature, and the mind is delusional.The pure heart is in delusion, but there are no three obstacles.
