Chapter 279: The sword falls and the rain stops.
"It is forbidden by heaven..."
Master Liuchan said: "This is a good thing, it can avoid a lot of trouble.
But it is also bad.
Its existence makes many things in this world , can no longer be shown in the eyes of the world.
As far as we are concerned, Qiuji's life is just a piece of meat struggling on the chopping board!"
Master Liuchan seemed to have remembered something.
That compassionate face was filled with emotion.
With anger.
But a little calm returned.
"It seems that our family has finally become a frog in the well."
"It's not you, all the monks in the world are like this."
"It's just that our family still doesn't understand..." "
Say."
"Since the master has considered himself as meat on the chopping board, Why bother to give up for the city full of incense?"
Chen Luo said: "Since the master has accepted this fate, shouldn't he have seen through life and death in this world? But now it seems that the master did not say this, Seeing clearly,"
the Six Zen Master paused.
He lowered his head...
remained silent...
for a long time, but finally did not answer Chen Luo's words.
He just said: "Please take action, father-in-law..."
Chen Luo smiled slightly.
It seems that this master does not want to continue chatting.
That's fine too.
"Then... our family will invite all the masters to go on the road."
Chen Luo raised his head.
He looked at the sky above Guobei County.
He looked at the long knife that spanned most of the city...
it had been here for decades.
The formation was erected by the eminent monks of Putuo Temple.
What's more, a knife hanging on everyone's neck can fall at any time.
The moment Chen Luo looked at it.
It was as if a divine light appeared from Chen Luo's eyes and fell on this giant sword that was a hundred feet long.
The knife trembled slightly.
There was a buzzing sound...
Master Liu Chan shook his head: "Father, it's better to give up. After all, you are only a Yuanying. Even if you are good at formation, you can't shake it!" Master Liu Chan was quite disappointed
.
If you don't fight for your father-in-law, you will be famous all over the world.
In the past, he entered the path of immortality as a eunuch.
No talent though.
But he learned through reading.
With the body of the present era, he understood the formation way before the ancient times.
This kind of talent and vision are far beyond those of people of any era, and are much worse than the powerful people who created the incense method in the past.
Unfortunately...
I was a little too arrogant after all.
That formation... was not a small formation.
A large formation was set up for Putuo Temple, which was: the formation to destroy evil!
It was the great formation from ancient times.
Not to mention that in this era where there are no more formations... Even in the past when formations were popular, these formations were taboo.
How can you easily peek into it?
And that sword is also an extraordinary sword...
it will last for ten years.
The number of people who died in Guobei County due to the plague is countless...
their souls.
Their resentment.
Gather together but never disperse.
In the end, it condensed and turned into this knife...
and not only that.
Over the years, Putuo Temple has saved sentient beings, even traveling thousands of miles away.
Either it’s salvation, or it’s to subjugate demons.
Demon or demon.
Evil or evil.
There are still many ghosts.
Decades of continuous condensation have already made the sword the most powerful trump card of Putuo Temple.
As a result, now, this undisputed Chen Luo is trying to shake this knife and remove it from the necks of millions of people in Guobei County... How can
Master Liuchan not laugh.
"After all, I still overestimated this indisputable situation."
He thought in his heart... and felt that what he had done to prevent him from going down the mountain today was not worth it.
Lost those countless trump cards.
How many years have passed since Putuo Temple left its legacy?
Now that I think about it, it is unnecessary.
But at this moment, the Six Zen Master's pupils shrank instantly, and he stood up from his chair.
The knife... moved! ,
as if being held by something, being held from above the city.
"Masters, it's time to get on your way!"
came a voice.
at the same time.
The knife in the sky above the city of Guobei County was slashed in this direction.
This day.
There is a knife across the sky!
The cold light is thousands of miles away, but there are no fallen leaves or morning light.
Finally, like a breeze, it fell on the eight monks in the void...
click.
The golden light shattered.
The formation is like smoke and dust, fleeting.
...
Ningmiao.
Ning Shuan held a book in his hand.
The book is the Book of Changes.
It was left by Chen Luo.
He said.
In fact, all the ways of the world are inseparable from the Book of Changes...
Maybe this is an exaggeration, but if you search for thousands of traces here, you can always find clues. This is correct.
And this book is indeed a good book.
Over the years, I have been curled up in Ningmiao reading books, and I have always gained some insights.
It seemed like he had touched something vaguely.
He thought...
maybe he couldn't leave Ningmiao now.
But one day, he can go down the mountain in another way...
even ignoring the shackles of heaven on his body, and travel all over the world.
It was also at this time.
He put down the book in his hand and looked at Guobei County.
He looked at the falling knife.
He smiled slightly: "After all these years, Master is still so straightforward..."
After saying that, he stopped looking.
Just looking at the book in my hand again, my heart became much brighter.
It was as if all the problems and troubles that had been pressing in my heart for many years were gone today.
As a result, the insights from this book became deeper and deeper.
The faintly visible thread seemed to be within reach.
...
Academy.
He was teaching and raised his head to Master.
Looked out the window.
Then he also laughed.
He said: "Dear students, today we will not do poetry, we will not do scripture meanings, and we will not study the Four Books and Five Classics!" "
Then what to study?"
"Is it after school?"
Some students asked: "That is really excellent. It’s a matter of fact!”
Master Xiang shook his head.
"I'm happy today. I'm going to put down some studies, but that doesn't mean I can just do nothing in life... Today, I'm going to teach you some new methods."
All the students were happy.
Ask Master Xiang what method you can use?
But the magical power of the demon clan?
For example, that giant shape-shifting technique?
Xiang Cheng's face darkened slightly...
He was the Demon King.
Everyone in Yushan Academy knows about this matter.
These students possess awe-inspiring auras, clear minds, and discerning eyes, and can see demonic bodies.
Although the physical body is a little worse.
But the aura of Haoran is more naturally restrained against the demon clan, and they know their identity even more.
Of course...
they have awe-inspiring aura, and I am naturally not weak to them.
It's just that these little guys are not pure in mind. From time to time they want to have magical powers from the demon clan...
It's a pity that they are of different races.
Some things just can't be learned by them.
"Okay, no more joking!"
Ning Qizhi interrupted everyone's joking.
He is the grandson of Ning Caichen.
Although he has no fame yet...
but Haoran Qi is currently the strongest member of the Ning family except Ning Caichen.
He is the person most likely to achieve the status of a great Confucian within a hundred years.
Its reputation is quite influential among many students.
"Don't make these jokes with Master."
Everyone was silent.
But it’s not easy to joke with the Master anymore.
"I dare to ask Master, what are we learning today?"
He said to Master: "There is a sutra in Taoism, which is: "Taiyi Sutra of Saving Suffering and Protecting the Body"... Today, we will learn this!"
Many students were surprised.
Ning Qizhi looked out the window.
If you think about it...
Taoist Rebirth Mantra...
Good!
...
not just the academy.
Everywhere in Guobei County.
Even as far away as Guobei County, countless monks all raised their heads at this moment.
But what's different from Ningmiao and Academy is that some of the faces of these cultivators are just shocked and frightened.
That knife...
spanned most of the sky.
It hasn't moved in decades...
but today.
This movement has the power to cut through the sky.
That sword...
"In this world, I'm afraid even the strong ones in the United States can't stop this sword, right?" "
Who is it?"
"The group of eminent monks from Putuo Temple were forced to use that sword?"
they guessed.
talk.
I don't understand,
but for Guobei County, I stay away and don't get close.
Of course, they may never have thought that their guess was wrong from the beginning, or that it was so wrong.
...
The world is in turmoil.
Chen Luo didn't know what all parties were thinking and discussing.
Don't take it to heart.
I don't even bother taking it to heart.
He...
is actually aloof.
The world has never known this, nor does it understand it.
They only thought that he was content with the world and had no fight with the world...
but they never knew.
In fact, he is not really undisputed.
It's just that people and affairs in this world are never worth fighting for.
The large formation surrounding the pavilion has long since disappeared...
The eight Nascent Soul level powerhouses in the void have long since lost their shadows.
They turned into smoke and dust and disappeared in this world.
Maybe someone will remember them.
But maybe, no one will remember them,
who knows? Chen Luo stood up. It was over now, so there was no need to stay any longer.
I really want to drink a glass of wine at this moment.
It's a pity...
the green gourd around his waist is empty.
Even if I want to drink, I can’t.
"It's time to buy wine."
Chen Luo shook his head, but buying wine would be a much more difficult journey...
Master Six Zen was still sitting there.
His face was extremely pale.
Seeing Chen Luo stand up.
He finally couldn't help but ask: "Father, who is it?"
Chen Luo paused.
Take a step.
He said calmly: "Our family is just an old eunuch who, in order to survive, had to pick up a knife to castrate himself and enter the palace. He struggled for many years and struggled to survive!"
Of course.
Now everyone in the world thinks that he is still a eunuch.
But I never thought that I already had an old man who transformed into a dragon!
Finished.
Take a step...
out of the gazebo.
look up.
It was still raining in the sky, but I don't know when, the rain stopped long ago.
The sun broke through the dark clouds.
Finally, the brilliance finally fell.
Mountains in the distance.
Peach blossom.
It is coated with a hazy light, a bit dreamy and mysterious.
"It's sunny after the rain."
Chen Luo murmured.
"Today, I think it is a lucky day..."
"Master."
Fan Yan came up.
He put away his umbrella.
Look at Chen Luo.
Chen Luo nodded.
The corners of Fan Yan's mouth raised... The sword behind him fell to the ground, and he rode away with the sword, but he couldn't breathe and could no longer see his shadow.
Chen Luo didn't look back,
so it was time for him to enter the city.
In the pavilion.
The old monk is still sitting.
It must not move.
Like a mountain.
Until...
Chen Luo was nowhere to be seen.
"Hey!"
He sighed softly,
feeling the wind blowing.
His body disappeared with the wind...the huge pavilion, and all that was left was the residual sigh.
...
Without the uninvited guests, the journey will be easier.
Over the years.
The roads in Guobei County have become easier to walk.
Not narrow, but quite gentle.
In addition, peach blossoms are in full bloom on both sides.
So walking here becomes a pleasure.
Originally, it had just rained heavily, so there should be few people there, but occasionally, Chen Luo could see some.
Especially in the villages outside Guobei County.
Some people went to work in the fields early.
Since Zhao Qian's reform.
Abolish most taxes.
Among them is the theory of grain tax...
So, as much as there is, there will be as much as possible, so that every household has a surplus of grain. The final result is that the enthusiasm of the people has become extremely high.
If you have free time.
He also likes to carry a hoe, go to the fields, or do whatever else, with a smile on his face.
Occasionally passing by the fields.
Chen Luo stopped.
Watched a little.
There were also talkative farmers who chatted with Chen Luo, which delayed a lot of time.
Chen Luo was not in a hurry.
He had a whole day, and everything could be done slowly.
It was not until noon that Chen Luo walked to Guobei City. However, after entering, he found that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the city.
There are people from the government office walking hurriedly on the streets.
There were also people gathered together, lowering their heads and discussing something.
Chen Luo was curious and walked over to ask.
"Did something happen in the city?"
Guobei County has always been peaceful. If something happened, it would be bad.
"If something happened, then something big happened!"
said an old man.
His face was full of fear: "This early in the morning, I don't know who the people from Putuo Temple offended. A fire burned Putuo Temple for more than an hour...those novice monks? , Monk, everything was burnt!"
"This scene is too terrifying."
"You know, there are hundreds of novice monks in Putuo Temple, so this fire is too brutal. !"
Chen Luo was surprised: "So weird? Could it be the work of evil spirits?"
The old man shook his head: "I don't think so. Maybe it's because the place of Putuo Temple is inherently weird, and that place is not suitable for building a temple." "
Why? Say?"
The old man looked hesitant: "You are still young, so you have never heard about what happened more than eighty years ago. If you had heard about it, you would know it. The old man was still young at that time, only about five or six years old... This Putuo Temple is another There was also a fire!"
Someone asked: "Isn't this Putuo Temple established less than thirty years ago?"
"You don't know, eighty years ago, there was a Putuo Temple in Guobei County. The temple site is on the land where Putuo Temple is now!"
the old man said.
Everyone listened.
Listen to him talk about the fire in the past.
Listen to him talk about the charred temples of yesteryear.
Everyone got goosebumps when they heard this, and even Chen Luo was a little surprised...
When he heard the old man say that Putuo Temple was a taboo place, a cursed place, and a taboo for Buddhism, Chen Luo couldn't help but nod.
"What the old man said is correct. Otherwise, there are two fires in the same place in less than a century, and so many people were burned to death. Guobei County is not a place to believe in Buddhism!"
The old man nodded: "I think so too!"
Suddenly.
The old man's expression changed.
"Everyone, let's talk. The old man has to go back quickly."
"Old Wang, what's going on?"
someone asked.
The old man said: "I have a statue of Putuo Temple in my home. I have to go back and destroy it quickly. Otherwise, if I am cursed, I will end up with the same fate as the group of monks from Putuo Temple. They are all a bunch of people.
" Eminent monk, if this is the case, we are just ordinary people, how can we bear the power of this curse!"
The faces of the people who were still listening to the story also changed.
He hurriedly retreated with fists in his hands.
They also have clay statues in their homes.
If it is not destroyed at this time, it will really affect the family, but it will not be good.
Seeing that Chen Luo was motionless, someone asked: "Brother, don't you need to go home to deal with it?"
Chen Luo shook his head: "I don't believe in Buddhism at home!"
"Believe in the Tao?"
"Nor do you believe in it!"
"Then what do you believe in?"
"Believe in yourself."
Then The man was stunned for a moment, scratching his head.
He muttered something and then left...
Believe in yourself...
That was really strange.
But looking back, it seems that this makes some sense.
If you believe in Buddhism, Buddhism will collapse.
Channels and roads will also be broken.
But only believing in yourself is eternal...
Chen Luo stood on the street.
Seeing the people in a hurry, seeing them hearing the word Putuo, is like seeing a wolf or a tiger.
There was some emotion in my heart.
Faith in this world is good, but when you look back, it is no longer poison before you taste it...
It can help you fight for immortality.
But it can also make you fall into purgatory on earth!
Chen Luo remembered that sentence. When you are poor in the busy city, no one cares about you. When you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives. If you don't believe it, just look at the wine at the banquet. It may not be too appropriate to serve the rich first with each cup
...
But it can also be compromised.
[You have experienced what you have seen and heard in the world of mortals, you have gained insights into the immortal way, and your state of mind has also been improved.
Immortal experience value +555!
PS: The way of the world, after all, is just two words: people's hearts. We fight over and over, but in fact, what we fight for is just temporary luck. If you don't believe it, look back. Looking back at the thirty pilgrimages to the Holy Buddha, it's just nothing now. It has just become an evil spirit in the world. 】
Straight is a bit straighter.
But Chen Luo couldn't admit that sometimes, the system always made sense.
It's here.
I have gained a lot!
The inn where we were drinking was the same inn where Chen Luo stayed when he came back.
The waiter is still Cen Feng...
he is busy greeting the guests.
Seeing Chen Luo come in, he was slightly startled and then took a few quick steps to greet him: "Sir, are you here? Or are you staying in a hotel today?" "
Eat something, and please help me fill this jug with wine."
Chen Luo took it . Cen Feng came out of the green gourd: "Is there enough wine and water pipes in the waiter's shop?"
Cen Feng took the gourd.
I somewhat understood in my heart.
"Sir, there is something in this gourd?"
"Do you know?"
"There are often experts in Guobei County, and I have also seen a Taoist holding a gourd to pack wine. This pack is most of the inventory. The same goes for this gourd, sir... Right?"
"The waiter is discerning, can you pretend?"
"I'm worried that I won't be able to pretend to be dissatisfied."
"Just do your best."
The waiter nodded and went down...
the wine in the bottle was Nuerhong...
wine that was hundreds of years old.
It is still the mainstream of Dazhou, but its story has more and more versions.
Fan Yan is here.
Sitting in front of Chen Luo.
Chen Luo didn't ask, the master and apprentice just sat and ate like that...
There was dirt on his legs.
I think I have been busy for a long time.
"Planted trees?"
"Planted some bamboos..."
"That's good. There are bamboo forests in Guobei County. It would be good to have more differences."
"Yeah."
Fan Yan smiled.
"Oddly enough, my mood seems to be much clearer now."
"Is there any progress in Kenshin?"
"Yes!"
"That's great!"
...
Dusk is getting darker.
Chen Luo and Fan Yan just returned to the back mountain.
The next time was quiet.
Eat and drink.
Practice fishing.
I am so happy and leisurely...
but on this day.
Someone walked into Yushan Academy...
a woman...
The moment he saw the woman, Chen Luo was a little surprised.
But when he saw the look on the woman's face, Chen Luo's heart sank slightly.
He asked:
"What happened?"
...
