Shen Yaolu

When I got to the foot of the mountain, I didn't realize how serious the matter was. The village that was originally lively was now lifeless.The crops in the field were lying down, and the streets were full of sewage and dead leaves.After walking on the road for a while, I accidentally stepped on a straw mat.There was a bulge in the mat, and he stretched out his hand to remove it—there was a rotting corpse underneath.

How could this be?

Finally, there was an old man passing by, and he stopped him.Seeing that it was him, the man persuaded in a sad voice: "There is a plague here, master, you should go back to the mountains and hide!"

"plague?"

How could a good village be infected with the plague?

"A few merchants from Lupu Town came to live in the village a few days ago, but they died the next day. After that, a plague broke out in the village."

Startled in the past life——Lupu Town?

It seemed that Zhong Yu was also infected with the plague.

The old man went on to say: "This plague came suddenly, and the doctor in the village tried his best to cure it. My two sons and daughters, and my five-year-old grandson died because of this plague." Speaking of sadness, the old man endured I can't help crying.

"Old man, let me take you home."

"No need, Master, let's go quickly." He waved his hands and said, "Don't catch this plague." After that, he staggered away alone.

Seeing such a bleak scene in front of me, I am very entangled in my next life—this plague is very strange, it is not an ordinary disease, and it seems that there are malicious people behind it.

Merchants in Lupu Town... so isn't the plague also prevalent in Lupu Town now?

I passed away to Lupu Town—the situation here is even more serious.The government sent people to set up treatment sheds on the street, but more and more people died.As he was walking, a little girl grabbed his clothes.

"Master, give me some food."

Before the girl could finish speaking, she was pulled back by her mother, "Don't pass the plague on to others."

"But mother, I'm hungry."

"Hey, the government will distribute porridge in a while."

No matter what touches my heart, I can't help but express my sentimental feelings when I am reborn—people say that my Buddha is merciful, but his merciful heart is useless to these suffering people.

The Buddha has no mind at all, and everything is empty. If there is no worry about it, all living beings will pass by themselves.

... Can a person who becomes a Buddha really be able to overcome these sufferings?

"Master Wangsheng?" Qin Yixuan just came out of the medical center, and was a little surprised when he saw the past life, "Why are you here?"

Seeing that it was the Patriarch of the Qin family in his reincarnation, he suddenly thought of something. "Patriarch Qin, do you have anything to eat?"

"Ah?" He was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the woman and child lying on the ground beside him, he understood instantly.Handing the bag to the woman, Qin Yixuan said: "You take these steamed buns and eat them. If you don't have enough, you can ask for them at the Qin Mansion at Dongshikou."

The woman was so moved that tears filled her eyes, "Thank you Patriarch Qin!" She gave the steamed buns to the child.

"Mom, you eat first."

"Mother is not hungry, eat quickly."

"I didn't expect that Lupu Town would become like this in just a few days."

"Natural disasters and man-made disasters, Dao is impermanent." Qin Yixuan sent Xiangsheng to Zhenkou, and he gave Xiangsheng a pack of medicinal materials, "This medicine is to prevent plagues. Although the master lives in seclusion in the mountains, he is prepared for any danger. Please accept it."

Wang Sheng took a look at the package of medicine and said, "I don't need it, let's use it for the people in the town."

Seeing him evade, Qin Yixuan no longer insisted, "Master, take care all the way."

"Patriarch Qin also take care."

What to do now...

...It seems that the only way to find him is.

Reborn and flew north.

At this time on Qingyuan Mountain, Zhong Yu was still feeling uncomfortable all over.After passing away, he slept for a while.In the dream, he seemed to be on the top of a mountain, with a cliff as deep as ten feet.There is darkness behind him, but there is light on the other side of the cliff.His vision changed from blurred to clear, and he saw a person standing opposite him.The man was dressed in white snow, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and the icy chill expanded with the golden light behind him.Zhong Yu was a little unsteady, he felt that his primordial spirit was about to be torn from his body, and his whole body was about to be turned into pieces.

This is... the place where the sky and the devil meet!

The man's cold voice came: "Zhong Yu, you lost."

lost?

... did I lose?

He fell into the abyss in an instant, and the strong wind was like a sharp sword, cutting off the flesh of his body with one knife, exposing the bones.That person fell together with him, chanting a curse in his ear—this person is crazy, and actually used his whole life's cultivation to seal his primordial spirit!

I lost... how could I lose? ! !

How could I lose! ! !

Fannian, I will never let you go! After 3 years, I will definitely let you be defeated by me! ! !

He opened his eyes abruptly—only his rapid panting could be heard in the room.

...to dream of the battle 3 years ago.

Just a nightmare.

Now that he was no longer sleepy, Zhong Yu got up and went to the table. He poured a glass of water, but felt his throat hurt even more after drinking it. "Oh...it's already so sick."

Something landed in front of the window, and Zhong Yu saw that it was the white dove with black lotus flowers on its wings not long ago.He smiled slightly, and said to the white pigeon, "There are no outsiders at this moment."

I saw a cloud of green smoke rising and surrounding the white dove.When the smoke dissipated, the white dove turned into a young man.The man was tall and straight, but his face was very ordinary. He seemed not good at words, but he looked at Zhong Yu with sincerity.He knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "Nan Zhu has met the Lord."

"Get up."

"The subordinate is guilty and dare not get up."

"Oh, what are you guilty of?"

"The subordinate did not arrive in time on the day of the rebirth of the master, and let the dead monk hold the master hostage. The subordinate has neglected his duties. Please punish the master!"

Zhong Yu smiled, "If I wanted to punish you, would you still be alive?"

Nan Zhu froze, then lowered his head, "Thank you, Lord."

"You should be grateful to that stupid monk who passed away. His mind was so dead that he saved me alive." After coughing a few times, Zhong Yu patted her chest, gritted her teeth and said, "But our grievances will not end so easily. "

He turned to ask Nan Zhu: "How is the matter going?"

"Go back to the Lord, everything is according to plan."

"Yeah." He sighed, and laughed at himself: "The body of a mortal is really weak, and he can't even withstand this plague."

Hearing this, Nan Zhu took out a small porcelain bottle from his skirt and presented it to Zhong Yu, "Please take it, Lord."

The cyan pattern on the porcelain vase is rich and emerald, with twisted and broken branches as the pattern, and vines as decoration.Zhong Yu couldn't help laughing—how could this person's taste be so gorgeous? It's really uncomfortable to watch.

"He asked you to come and deliver this to me?"

"Yes."

Smiling contemptuously, Zhong Yu put the bottle in his sleeve, "Tell him, I accept this thing, but I won't use it on myself, tell him to give up."

"Yes."

"Okay, let's go." Zhong Yu couldn't help turning up the corners of his mouth when he heard the movement around him, "If it's a little later, I won't be able to leave."

After all, I am dependent on others, and someone will come to trouble me in a while.

In the land of Kunlun in the Western Regions, the snow never melts for thousands of years.There are few people here, and the snow-capped mountains are tall and straight, but because of the whiteness, there is a sense of desolation.There is a glazed pagoda on the top of Kunlun Mountain. It is said that the mythical beast Bai Ze lives here. He is white all over and can speak human language.But he has a weird temper - if you want to ask him for something, you have to exchange it for something else.

Looking at the past life standing in front of him, Bai Ze couldn't laugh or cry.

"When I woke up this morning, I thought there was a visitor today, but I didn't expect it to be the deceased Venerable."

"you know me?"

"Hehe, every time Tianshu Xingjun comes here, it's because of your business, even if I haven't met you, I can still imagine what you look like."

I don't know what the venerable is doing when he comes to my glazed pagoda today.

Don't talk nonsense with him in the past life, and get straight to the point, "The poor monk came today to ask you something."

"Ask me something? Hahaha..." At this time, Bai Ze was still in the body of a beast, and his laughter was piercing, like the roar of a wild beast. "Does your lord have anything to ask me?"

"The plague in Lupu Town." The past life said, "Which monster is it? Why can't I cure it?"

"Of course you can't cure the plague."

It wasn't a plague at all, it was the poison of corpses scattered from the underworld to the human world.

"Corpse?"

"Corpse poison is the poisonous air set up by the underworld to prevent evil spirits from escaping from the hell realm. People who are poisoned by this poison will not be wiped out like those ghosts, but they will also die of exhaustion after seven days. Let alone You, even the Emperor of Heaven can't cure this poison."

Afterlife frown - seven days...

... Isn't there only one day left? ! !

Seeing that he was worried about the past life, Bai Ze said slowly, "Actually, I have an antidote."

Back then, the Lord of the Underworld once came to me to beg for something, and he gave me the antidote to the poison of the corpse as a reward.Just mix this antidote into water and let them drink it, and they will be safe.

Knowing that Bai Ze had the antidote in his hands, Xiangsheng was relieved. "Then give me the antidote."

Hearing what he said, Bai Ze immediately burst out laughing, "My lord, I'm not a kind person. If you want to get something from me, you must show sincerity."

"Sincerity?" Shi Sheng was puzzled, "What sincerity?"

"I'm not a sentient being from the Three Realms, and I don't have a heart of compassion. Of course I have to be rewarded for doing things." Bai Ze flicked his tail lazily in the air, "Otherwise, how do you think Tianshu got the news from me?"

As long as you pay me enough, I'll tell you where the antidote to the corpse poison is.

With a move in my heart, I was a little surprised by the reincarnation——Tianshu, he...

But now is not the time to worry about who pays for whom, Bai Ze wants to be paid, and he is penniless in his rebirth.He thought for a while, and took out something from the front of his clothes—it was a wooden hairpin given to him by Zhong Yu, a very ordinary style, not even a single pattern.Zhong Yu asked him to put it away, but he didn't think it was a big deal, so he kept it on his body all the time.

Are you going to take this out...

【You have to put it away. 】

Zhong Yu's words echoed in his ears, looking at the elm hairpin, a strange emotion filled his chest, he was a little bit reluctant to give it to Bai Ze.

Seeing him staring at the hairpin without moving, Bai Ze said, "The Reborn Venerable, it's just a wooden hairpin. I can't even look down on this junk thing. Why don't you bear it?"

"If you want, I'll give it to you." Xiangsheng put the hairpin in front of Bai Ze, "But you follow what you said, and give me the antidote."

Bai Ze sniffed the hairpin, and looked at the past with a little chill in his eyes.He said: "The antidote is sealed in the Qingluan Mirror in the Qingluan Secret Realm behind Kunlun Mountain, His Holiness can get it by himself."

But the Qingluan mirror is not something easy to deal with.

Although the past life doesn't understand Ze's weird attitude, he can't waste any more time.He said "Thank you", and immediately flew to Qingluan Secret Realm.Bai Ze glanced contemptuously at the direction in which the past life left. He looked at the wooden hairpin that the past life gave him, and dissatisfaction welled up in his heart.

This hairpin has that person's smell on it, which is really unpleasant.

Landing at the entrance of the secret realm, I stepped into it without thinking about passing away.

Qingluan Secret Realm is the coldest place in Kunlun. It is surrounded by clouds and mists, and it is impossible to see the way forward or the way from here.After the death, he stood still and chanted a few incantations to disperse, and the turbidity in front of him instantly dissipated.He walked along the road and came to a clear spring in a short while.The spring water came out from the crevice of the mountain, trickling down, converging into a small clear stream, flowing among the rough mountains and rocks overgrown with weeds and thorns.

In the center of the spring, there is a bright object. If you look carefully, it is the Qingluan Mirror.

After reincarnation, I stepped on the water and walked to the mirror, but the mirror could not reflect the appearance of a person, only a small porcelain bottle was seen in the mirror, which must be the antidote to the poison of the corpse.He stretched out his hand, and just touched the mirror, but the bottle disappeared.Then a cliff of ten feet appeared on the mirror, with light on one side and darkness on the other.

This is... the junction of Heaven and Demon!

Quickly looking at the two sides of the cliff, there were indeed people—he on one side, and Zhong Yu on the other.

It is said that this Qingluan mirror can reflect past and present lives, and it seems that the words are true.

What is in the mirror is the image of him fighting Zhong Yu in 3 years. At that time, he was still fighting Buddha Fannian, thinking about destroying the devil emperor so as to save the common people in the three realms.Seeing that the two of them in the mirror were at loggerheads, Zhong Yu knelt on one knee, looking at him with disdain and hatred.

He heard his own voice: "Zhong Yu, you lost."

A golden light flashed, and he and Zhong Yu fell off the cliff together. He turned into a sharp blade and cut Zhong Yu's body to pieces. He heard Zhong Yu's cry: "Fan Nian, I will never let you go! 3 Years later, I will definitely let you be defeated by my hands!!!"

The previous life was staged in the mirror, but in the next life, he only felt his hands and feet were cold - the authorities were fascinated, but the bystanders were clear. Standing here, he could clearly see how much Zhong Yu hated himself.

However, at this moment, the reflection in the mirror turned into another one. The picture gradually changed since he met Zhong Yu 3 years later, and Zhong Yu's gentle and jade-like voice kept ringing out.

[The two of us formed a bond 3 years ago, and you still refuse to let me go after 3 years.I said reincarnation, aren't you tired? 】【Hey, let's agree, in the future, you are not allowed to cast any spells on me just because you know how to spell. It's too deceiving. 】【You, you still protect me at critical moments! 】

【Department, it’s fine if you don’t eat, you don’t even take a bath, right? 】

The dilapidated Taoist temple, the small bamboo forest buildings in Qingyuan Mountain, Peach Blossom Rock and Qianzhangjian...Compared with the illusion of the previous life, all these are so real and reliable.Cultivating Buddhism does not talk about memories, so in the past life, I never look back on the past. Looking at it carefully now, I and that person have experienced so much without knowing it.

It's just some small things, but it makes him feel a little unfulfilled.

The reflection of the mirror finally stayed in the bustling market, with the endless stream of people, Zhong Yu stood in front of the jewelry booth. , he turned around, held an elm hairpin, smiled and said to him: "I think the hairpin suits you quite well."

You should put it away.

As if bewitched, Xiangsheng stretched out his hand to the person in the mirror.

"Rebirth!"

Grabbed by a force, he staggered a few steps, he turned his head in a daze, and saw a worried expression.

... Zhong Yu?

With handsome brows and eyes frowned, Zhong Yu asked him: "What's wrong with you, you look so lost?"

Only then did he regain his composure, the cold air on his body pierced into his body like a needle - he broke out in a cold sweat.He looked at Zhong Yu, full of confusion, "Your body..."

"It's Tianshu. He went to Qingyuan Mountain to look for you, so I explained the situation to him. He guessed that you must have come to Baize, so he brought me here." He grabbed the hand of the past life, softly Said in a low voice: "Tianshu helped me suppress the disease first, I'm fine now. But you, what did you see in the mirror, your face is so pale?"

Mirror? ! !

Turning around suddenly, the picture on the Qingluan mirror disappeared, and changed back to what it was at the beginning, a piece of blue and white porcelain sealed in the mirror.He broke the seal of the Qingluan mirror by doing this, and took the porcelain bottle.

Zhong Yu leaned in front of him and looked at the exquisite little bottle curiously, "What is this?"

"The antidote." He handed the bottle to Zhong Yu, "You are poisoned by the corpse of the underworld."

You drink a little, and the rest will detoxify the people in the town.

Nodding in agreement, Zhong Yu obediently took a sip.

"how?"

Zhong Yu wrinkled her face together on purpose and said, "It's a bit bitter."

At this moment, Zhong Yu's face softened, which meant that the medicine had worked.The past life said in a deep voice: "Go out."

Outside Qingluan's secret, two men were standing at the entrance.One was Tianshu in a blue silk dress, and the other had white hair and a snow-white fur.The white-haired man said: "If you treat him like this, he may not remember your kindness."

Tianshu didn't speak, he kept his eyes fixed on the entrance.

"Hmph, you don't even have the courage to enter Qingluan's secret realm. How afraid are you that the mirror will reflect what you think in your heart?" The white-haired man spoke harshly, and he sarcastically said, "But you are stupid enough, now He is not a war Buddha, but a reborn venerable. As long as you can prevent him from becoming a Buddha, are you afraid that you will not get him?"

His face darkened, Tianshu said coldly: "Bai Ze, don't force me to fight with you."

But Bai Ze didn't take it seriously, and instead intensified, "He doesn't know what you did for him, you Tianshu Xingjun is a coward!"

With a "boom", the boulder behind Bai Ze was shattered——Tianshu glared at him, with uncontrollable anger flashing in his eyes, like an enraged lion.

As long as it is good, it should be accepted, Bai Ze let out a long sigh of relief, and stopped talking.

A golden light was emitted from the entrance of the secret realm, and Xiangsheng and Zhong Yu came out from it.Tianshu hurried to Xiangsheng's side, saw that his face was not good, and asked with concern: "Qingsheng, are you alright?"

Xiangsheng shook his head.

"As expected of the Venerable Reborn, who can come out of this Qingluan secret realm."

But it's ridiculous that you look so downcast!

Looking up at the white-haired man not far away - you are...

"Oh, your lord is so forgetful, you gave me the elm hairpin just now, and you forgot about me now?"

"……White Pond?!!"

Bai Ze smiled secretly, he said: "The most urgent thing is to save the people in the town, is the venerable leaving quickly?"

"I'll accompany you." Faced with the passing away, Tianshu's feelings softened, "Zhu Jian is at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, he can travel thousands of miles a day, and he will definitely be able to catch up with the time."

Xiangsheng nodded in agreement, suddenly remembered that Zhong Yu's poison had just been cured, his body was weak and he couldn't run around, and he felt worried again.

Seeing what the past life was worried about, Zhong Yu smiled and said to him: "Don't worry about me, go to the town to save people first, I can go back alone."

"...Okay." He looked at Tianshu, "Let's go."

"This Tianshu Xingjun is really infatuated." Only Bai Ze and Zhong Yu were left at the entrance of the secret realm, and Bai Ze did not forget to laugh at Tianshu. "Before I had a crush on Fannian, but now I'm holding on to my death. I really don't know whether to praise him or pity him."

"Just accumulate some virtue."

"Can Jikoude be eaten?" Bai Ze clicked his lips and said, "I don't understand, what's so good about a monk."

"Of course he has his advantages."

Raising his eyebrows, Bai Ze looked at Zhong Yu amusedly, "Listening to you, you also like that monk?"

Zhong Yu didn't even want to look at him, and said softly: "Give me the hairpin that was given to you in the past life."

"I knew that thing was given to him by you." He took out the wooden hairpin from his sleeve and threw it to Zhong Yu, "It's full of your smell, it's so fucking disgusting!"

Reaching out to catch the hairpin, Zhong Yu smiled, "If you think I'm disgusting, don't come here to provoke me."

"Hmph, if it weren't for you being my elder brother, I wouldn't bother to care about you!"

"If you really think of me as your brother, why did you ask Nan Zhu to send me the Burning Heart Curse?"

After being hit by that thing, as long as you are emotional, you will be in pain like a fire. You use it as an antidote to corpse poison, because you think I am a mortal now, can't you see it?

You, aren't you jealous of me because you don't have a magic root?

Bai Ze became a little annoyed when Zhong Yu saw through his trick. "I'm not afraid that you will be fascinated by that monk and forget how they treated us in the devil world!"

You are so kind to that monk now, maybe you have moved your mind on him!

Zhong Yu finds it funny——I'm tempted by him?

I'm not that carefree, but I have my reasons for being nice to him.

Bai Ze didn't understand, he thought for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes wide - you want to prevent him from becoming a Buddha? ! !

"Heh." Zhong Yu smiled.

It must have disturbed his mind and prevented him from becoming a Buddha.
