The devil is me

It was already a day later when the two arrived at Panjiabao. In the evening, the sun was setting and the glow was like blood.

At that time Xuan Min and Bian Lanshan were just fledgling monks, although they felt that this monster was evil, they didn't figure it out for a while.Xuan Min found an open space, cut his fingers, and used his own blood to attract monsters, within a short while he heard the sound of frightened birds in the forest.

Bian Lanshan hugged the piano she was carrying in her arms, staring fixedly at the distance, while Xuan Min quietly stepped forward to block Bian Lanshan behind her for protection.Xi Buwen was secretly anxious. With the abilities of Bian Lanshan and Xuan Min at this time, it might be difficult to defeat the ghoul, but he thought that since the two of them did not die when they first met, it means that they escaped from death in the end. no problem.

Sure enough, not long after, two ghouls jumped out of the forest, one tall, one short, a female and a male, even though they had never seen the world again, they knew they were facing a pair of murderous ghosts.Bian Lanshan's face turned pale immediately, but she was not at a loss like a daughter who lived in a boudoir for a long time, but with a flick of a finger, the strings moved slightly, and a wave of waves rushed towards the corpse ghost, destroying everything it passed!

Xi Buwen secretly sighed "good piano".But the ghoul just hugged his head for a moment and then attacked Bian Lanshan, Xuan Min immediately used his spiritual power to fight with the ghoul, but the general escaped the male ghoul's blow, but was pinned down by the female ghoul He scratched his left leg and dragged on the ground for nearly a hundred meters, even a tough guy like Xuan Min immediately groaned in pain.

Xi Buwen could feel Xuan Min's pain, so he couldn't help frowning at this moment, he knew it was his left leg broken.

Xuan Min couldn't escape for a while, and seeing the ghoul was about to bury his head in his mouth, Bian Lanshan flew up and threw five exorcism charms, and plucked the strings with his fingers, the speed was astonishingly fast, and the sound of the piano suddenly became fierce , the spiritual power flew out, and happened to hit the female ghoul's spine, and black blood splattered instantly, knocking it back.

Bian Lanshan was really quick-witted, and immediately sprang out several bursts of spiritual power to hit the wound, saying, "Xuan Min, there!".

Xi Buwen secretly said: "This spine seems to be an important point." He couldn't help but think of Xuan Min's move to remove the ghoul's spine just now, so he understood it at this time.

Xuan Min understood immediately, kicked off the ground with one leg and flew up, hugged the female ghoul's waist, and then went to smash the wound, black blood flew all over, and there was a black mist in front of his eyes.

On the other side, Bian Lanshan used the sound of the piano to hold the male ghoul with great effort, but unexpectedly, the ghoul was shocked by the sound of the piano and went berserk. With just one palm, Bian Lanshan fell to the ground and spit out a big mouthful of blood. Come.Seeing that she was injured, Xuan Min immediately became ruthless, and slammed a weak point between the three sections of the spine. The female ghoul immediately couldn't support her huge body, and collapsed to the ground as if her consciousness had been broken.Seeing this, the male ghoul immediately roared and ran to the female ghoul, howling in mourning.

When it was too late to say it, Xuan Min took advantage of its unpreparedness and immediately pressed the Buddhist pestle on the neck of the male corpse, and said "Elephants have no form". The iron block firmly pressed the male ghoul to the ground.

Xi Buwen couldn't help being surprised, it's really amazing that Buddha Xiu still has this kind of magic, and I don't know if Wu Nian will be able to do it, and I will definitely ask him to grow bigger for him to see after he goes back.Suddenly, I felt like I was thinking about something nonsense, and I couldn't help but smile when I came back to my senses.

Xuan Min helped Bian Lanshan up, but he himself was also enduring the pain, his voice hoarse: "Are you alright?"

Bian Lanshan frowned, spat out another mouthful of blood, and answered after a while, "It's okay, your leg?"

Xuan Min said, "It's nothing serious."

Only then did Bian Lanshan feel relieved, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and began to recite the formula for suppressing ghosts.

"Wait a minute." Xuan Min grabbed her wrist, "You want to disperse your soul?"

"Naturally." Bian Lanshan was puzzled. Facing such a fierce ghost, according to their way of cultivation, there seemed to be no other choice.

"Look, it's crying." Xuan Min looked over from afar.

Xi Buwen took a closer look, it wasn't true, this murderous ghoul was really wailing because of the loss of his partner, big teardrops rolled down its face covered with purple tumors, the grief seemed no different from that of human beings.He felt inexplicably uncomfortable, as if he had killed his own kind.

Bian Lanshan was deeply moved, and asked again: "Is the ghoul who has lost his companion not going to live long?"

"Many ghouls recorded in the "Ghost Sutra" do not live alone." Xuan Min replied, "God has the virtue of caring for life, why not...forget it."

"never mind?"

"Let it go." Xuan Min gritted his teeth, "The ghoul gathers thousands of souls, and when he dies alone on a hunger strike, the souls will disperse and naturally go to reincarnation."

Buddhist practice has always been compassionate.Bian Lanshan was simple-minded, and had just left the mountain gate, so she didn't have any deep-rooted thoughts. Hearing what Xuan Min said, she stopped insisting.

Xuan Min helped Bian Lanshan walk to the distance together, he called out "take it away", and the Buddha pestle shrank and returned to his hand.

The male ghoul didn't react for a moment, and it took a while to stand up staggeringly. His cloudy yellow eyes stared at the two from a distance for a while, then picked up the female ghoul's corpse and quickly hid in the deep forest.

Xi Buwen was a little inexplicable, suddenly the eyes were shrouded in smoke and mist, the seasons were changing, and when he saw the scene again, it was already a gloomy winter season, with bare branches and jackdaws singing together, and although the lake was not frozen, there were no ripples, it seemed Even the fish are too lazy to come and go, the air is unbelievably cold, and it is about to snow.

Xuan Min stood on a bridge with anxious eyes, as if he was waiting for someone.

The time seemed to be stretched, and Xi Buwen felt that Xuan Min had waited for a full two hours before he saw a red figure galloping up from the other side of the bridge, crashing into it like a leaping swallow. In Xuan Min's arms.Xuan Min's tightly locked brows suddenly loosened, and his eyes were gentle and outrageous: "Lanshan."

Xi Buwen thought to himself, it was a date, and he was going to eat dog food again.

Bian Lanshan stood still panting, and said with a smile: "Brother Xuan Min has been waiting for a long time, he finally ran out of the house, now Buddhism and Taoism are going to war at any time, my father is worried about my safety and locked me up, don't mind !" She clutched Xuan Min's sleeves and said in a coquettish tone, except for a thin skirt and only a red fur collar cape, her black hair was loose, her cheeks were flushed from the cold, her lips were bright, and she looked innocent, People can't look away.

Xuan Min resisted reaching out to warm her mind, and said indifferently, "Lan Shan, we don't have to see each other again."

Xi Buwen was taken aback for a moment, Bian Lanshan was also startled, and the hand holding Xuan Min's sleeve quickly let go and fell to her side, her eyes widened slightly, and she asked, "What did you say?" Laughed: "Brother Xuan Min, you are joking with me again, aren't you?"

Xuan Min licked his chapped lips, as if he didn't know how to speak, but finally he said: "Now that Buddhism and Taoism are in chaos, I have to go back to Jialan Temple, you...your father will definitely not agree with us, Buddhism and Taoism are doomed There is a gap between heaven and earth, why don't you just concentrate on practicing here."

Bian Lanshan looked up at him, but the people in front of her were as far away as the sky.A snowflake fell on her eyelashes, and her eyes were foggy, making Xuan Min flustered.

"Buddha and Taoism are not harmonious, that's other people's business. You and I... I have been with you for many years, so you can't wait for this moment of ups and downs?" Bian Lanshan closed his eyes, and a tear fell.

"It's not that I don't want to wait, but how can I bear to see you locked in that corner every day?" Xuan Min's voice suddenly increased, "You can run out once today, what about the next time? What about home?"

"I'm not worth it." Xuan Min said dejectedly.

"I'm not afraid! At worst, I won't go back. I'll be with you everywhere!" Bian Lanshan grabbed Xuan Min's hand, but couldn't feel his warmth.

"You Bian's small Taoist sect has been attached to Xue for many years. If Xue knows that Bian's eldest daughter is not clear with the Buddha, how will Xue treat your parents and brothers? You don't have to be afraid, but their Don't you care about safety and family honor?" Xuan Min brushed Bian Lanshan's hand away, turning his face away.

Bian Lanshan was stunned upon hearing this, her lips turned pale.The snow fell even harder, and it was eloquent for a moment, making a man's eyebrows white.

"It's for me." Xuan Min choked with sobs, his tone pleading, "It's for me. I haven't made a breakthrough in my cultivation for many years, I know it's love that stops me, and now I just want to go back to Jialan Temple Concentrate on practicing..."

Bian Lanshan's face was full of tears, her expression was numb, as if she didn't know she was crying, her hair was covered with snowflakes like ice crystals, and two strands of hair on her sideburns fluttered in the wind and covered her eyes.

After a while, Bian Lanshan raised her hand and wiped away her tears with her sleeve, and forced a smile: "Brother Xuan Min is right, I still have family responsibilities on my shoulders, I was just childish."

Xi Buwen was shocked by Bian Lanshan's transformation, only to hear her say again as if joking: "Snow is so heavy, it can be regarded as the first time with Brother Xuanmin, and there will be no regrets in this life. I wish Brother Xuanmin to cultivate diligently in the future." , to achieve a positive result as soon as possible."

After she finished speaking, she turned around resolutely, and when she turned around, she could only hear her muttering to herself from the wind: "It's better to be a bird..." Xuan Min seemed to have been stabbed, thinking of Bian Lanshan when they first met In other words, thinking of the sugar figurine he once bought for her, it was even more desolate.

Xuan Min raised his arm, as if he wanted to hold her back, but he failed to grab Bian Lanshan's sleeve after all.

The silver bridge is wrapped in plain, but there is no lover.

Everything happened too fast, Xi Buwen Zhengnahan was changing the world at this time, before it was too late to feel emotional, suddenly his eyes went dark, and when he opened his eyes again, it was late autumn again, the forest outside the window was completely dyed, a piece of fiery red maple trees came from afar With the faint morning bell, Xi Buwen guessed that this place was probably Jialan Temple.

Xuan Min was copying scriptures at his desk, when suddenly a young monk knocked on the door and said, "Senior Brother Xuan Min, your letter!"

He was slightly confused, strode to the door and opened it to take it: "Thank you."

He looked down at the five beautiful small characters "Brother Xuan Min" on the envelope, he was very familiar with it.He didn't know whether it was ecstasy or excitement, he hurriedly opened the letter to read it.

Now I can't help being a gentleman of "see no evil", I have to read it with my head down.

It turned out that the war between Buddhism and Taoism had ended, and Bian Lanshan deeply felt that there was still a possibility that the two could continue their relationship, so she asked Xuanmin to go to Panjiabao to meet again.This is what it means to combine.The last line is even more lingering: "The wild geese are coming, thousands of miles away, the sea and the sky are in sight, and there is no end to rely on. I want Xuanmin, but don't. Sister Lanshan wrote it herself."

It can be seen that although Cultivator Bian is a delicate and pretty woman, she is also direct-tempered, free and easy to let go, not procrastinating, likes and likes frankly, and she doesn't want to hide it but wants to let you know.

Tsk tsk tsk, I read Xuanmin, don't read it.

Xi Buwen read it secretly in his heart, and couldn't help being distracted again. He lamented that Chinese characters are really broad and profound. If he wrote a letter to Wu Nian, it would be "I read Wu Nian, don't read it." , very interesting.

Fortunately, Xuan Min is not a heartless person, the separation was a last resort, and talking about feelings hindering his cultivation was just an excuse, he just didn't want Bian Lanshan to make things difficult for him and his family.Now that Buddhism and Taoism are harmonious, there is still a turning point, so naturally I want to see Bian Lanshan again.

So he set off immediately, and arrived at Panjiabao within a few days.Panjiabao has no ghouls in the past few years, but it is no longer barren and has become more and more prosperous.People come and go, vendors are like a cloud, Xuan Min is waiting bored at the appointed place, suddenly saw a peddler selling sugar, and there is a delicate bird on the stall, Xuan Min can't help but raise the corners of his mouth and pay for it. Suddenly, Bian Lanshan's little expression of joy when he saw this sugar figure was all in his mind.

Just as he was distracted, a dart suddenly flew to shatter the dream, Xuan Min turned sideways, the dart brushed past his ear and stuck into the wall behind him.Xuan Min saw that the body of the dart was black, without engraving any handwriting of the sect, but a piece of white cloth was tied around the head of the dart, he unfolded it, and the words on it made his expression suddenly change——

"I want to see Bian Lanshan, come with me."
