Outlaw

Xiao Beichen headed straight for the Wuse Palace at almost the fastest speed.

For some reason, Xiao Beichen's heartbeat was very fast.

I always feel like something is not quite right.

He was so eager to see Xia Mengyao.

Others may not know Xia Mengyao's pain and helplessness, but Xiao Beichen does.

I was on the bank of the ancient river, under the ginkgo tree. Two people have made a promise to never leave each other in this life, and to live and die together.

Such a relationship, such a life and death relationship, such a woman...it was already worth Xiao Beichen's giving up his life for her.

fast!

Hurry up!

Swish!

Xiao Beichen rushed to the Colorless Hall at almost the fastest speed.

The huge hall is still so solemn and sacred.

On the left and right sides, there are three ancient temples on each side.

Xiao Beichen went straight to the ancient temple on the right.

As soon as I entered, I saw Yu Linglong's tomb in the yard.

The green jade in the east is clear, and Xia Qinghuang and Donghuang Taiyi stand in front of the grave to worship. When everyone saw Xiao Beichen coming, they were startled and stood up instinctively.

Xiao Beichen didn't say anything and walked straight to the grave.

Burn incense and worship.

An unspeakable sadness flashed in my mind.

Emotion.

"Senior, you can be considered my grandmother. Although we have not been together for a long time and only had a few conversations. But if you ask me, you have inspired me. I will keep it in my heart. Although your death is approaching, this Once...it was for me, Xiao Beichen."

"sorry!"

Xiao Beichen bowed deeply.

Three bows and nine knocks.

Next to them, Yu Dongqing, Yu Qingyang, Xia Qinghuang and Donghuang Taiyi were all stunned.

Somewhat shocked.

They knew that Xiao Beichen was no longer an ordinary person. He is the true lord of Daxia, the Xiao Beihuang of the Kowloon Dynasty!

The Emperor of Daxia knelt down suddenly regardless of his knees.

This sincerity has deeply moved everyone.

After a long time, Xiao Beichen stood up.

He turned to Xia Qinghuang and asked, "Where is Mengyao?"

Xia Qinghuang looked at Xiao Beichen and frowned. I wanted to speak several times but stopped.

Xiao Beichen finally realized something was wrong: "Aunt Qinghuang, she is the empress. You are my mother-in-law. Tell me, where has she gone?"

Looking around, Xiao Beichen didn't find anyone from Xia Mengyao. I couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

Xia Qinghuang sighed and told the story in detail.

hiss!

Xiao Beichen took a breath of air and his body couldn't help but tremble.

Accompanying the ancient Buddha with green lanterns...

I am ashamed of the Dao sect, I am ashamed of the Phoenix clan...

Everything is because of myself.

Xiao Beichen's heart ached like a knife, and his breathing became extremely rapid. The fist clenched with ten fingers could not help but bleed.

Self-blame, guilt, sadness, pity.

Endless guilt!

call!

Xiao Beichen took a deep breath: "Where did she go?"

Xia Qinghuang said: "There is only one ancient temple in the world that can accommodate Mengyao - Weiming Temple in Weiming City."

Swish!

Xiao Beichen turned around and left without saying a word.

Xia Qinghuang suddenly said: "Wait a minute. Weiming City is not in a secular place. Ordinary people cannot find Weiming City. We need a big boss from the Colorless Palace to lead the way."

Xiao Beichen then turned back and bowed his hands deeply to Xia Qinghuang: "Please lead the way for me."

Eh!

Xia Qinghuang sighed: "Beichen, I know what you are thinking. But since she has made a decision, why do you have to force it? The more this happens, it will only increase the pain in her heart. She did not see her before leaving. You have explained everything."

"She is suffering too much. She doesn't want to get involved in anything between the dynasty and the Taoist sect. She chose to spend the rest of her life with the Ancient Buddha of Qingdeng. Why don't you help her?"

Xiao Beichen gritted his teeth, his expression distorted.

He wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

Why doesn't he know Xia Mengyao's difficulties?

Don't you know that it's because of yourself that Xia Mengyao is caught in the middle and doesn't know how to deal with herself?

If Xia Mengyao didn't know herself in this life, maybe she would become the true master of the Taoist sect and the peerless queen who would dominate Daxia. But now, the Dao Sect is gone, and the Phoenix Clan is also falling apart. She couldn't let go anymore and went to Weiming Temple. Accompanied by the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng.

All evil fates are caused by oneself.

call!

After a while, Xiao Beichen took a deep breath: "She doesn't see me, but I have to see her."

Xia Qinghuang sighed and said immediately: "Okay, now that you have decided. I will take you to Weiming City."

……

Weiming City is adjacent to Taiqing City.

But the path is very cumbersome, and the space seems to be blocked by something. You need to pass through a special barrier gate to enter.

Weiming Temple is a very ancient temple for Weiming City.

It is said to be the original birthplace of Buddhism in Daxia.

Buddhism in the world comes from unnamed temples.

That's it.

The unnamed mountain towers into the clouds. It is located on the edge of Weiming City.

This place is very desolate and sparsely populated.

A staircase stretches from the ground to the top of the mountain.

There was no one along the way.

A tall woman wearing a blue dress climbed up the stairs.

Her attitude was pious.

Three steps and one kowtow.

All the way up the mountain.

Like a devout believer, use your actions to repent of your sins.

Don't ask about wind and rain, don't ask about pain.

If it’s not Xia Mengyao, who is it?

Occasionally, some monks passing by were very surprised when they saw this woman, and they all looked sideways and started talking.

"Weiming Temple has been closed for many years and has stopped accepting believers for a long time. I really don't know what this woman wants to do."

"Weiming Temple is closed."

Some kind-hearted monks took the initiative to tell Xia Mengyao: "Donor, Weiming Temple has been closed for many years and no longer accepts incense. Please save it."

"The four Dharma monks of the ancient temple have been in seclusion for many years and have seen no visitors."

"Fifty years ago, the ancient temple dismissed [-] Buddhists. They closed their doors and hid from the world. Don't waste your efforts. Go back as soon as possible!"

"..."

However, Xia Mengyao seemed not to hear it.

Continue to take three steps and kowtow devoutly, and climb the mountain slowly.

On the top of the mountain, in the ancient temple.

An old monk with white beard and hair sat cross-legged under the Buddha statue, gently tapping the wooden fish.

Four Dharma monks sat cross-legged on the left and right sides, listening carefully. These four monks are wearing red cassocks, showing their extremely high status in Buddhism. However, in front of the old monk at this moment, he was as pious as a disciple.

suddenly--

Click!

The old monk's movement of knocking on the wooden fish suddenly stopped.

He opened his eyes vaguely: "Spring."

A monk in red cassock stood up suddenly and saluted with one palm: "Master Kongfa. What are your orders?"

The old monk said slightly: "The people sent by Yu Linglong have arrived. Go and greet them."

Chun was stunned for a moment: "Master, our Weiming Temple has dismissed [-] Buddhists and is now closed to the outside world. Isn't it easy to accept Buddhists?"

The old monk said: "This person is different. Go ahead."

Spring said: "Yes."

After saying that, Chun turned and left.

There were only three old monks in red cassocks left in the Buddhist hall.

The chief old monk Kongfa closed his eyes again and continued to knock the wooden fish.

after a long time.

The wooden fish stopped again.

Chun walked in with Xia Mengyao.

At this moment, Xia Mengyao's forehead and knees were covered in blood.

Kowtow all the way to the [-]-meter peak.

This kind of willpower is beyond human reach.

"Master Kongfa, the donor has arrived." Chun single-handedly saluted.

Ah!

Master Kongfa waved his hand.

Swish!

Four eminent monks in red cassocks stood up one after another, two on each side, with a very solemn attitude.

In the center, leave a futon.

In front of the futon is a vast statue of Buddha, majestic and majestic.

Xia Mengyao slowly walked to the front of the futon and kowtowed slowly.

Kongfa stood up, walked to the side, and saluted with one palm: "Female donor, what do you want?"

Xia Mengyao raised her head, stared at the huge Buddha statue in front of her, and said deeply: "I wish to enter the Buddha's door, the ancient Buddha with green lanterns, pray for the rest of my life, and atone for my sins."

Kongfa said: "Escape into Buddhism and you will have no regrets. The donor must think carefully."

Xia Mengyao said: "I have already thought about it. Please ask Master Kongfa to ordain me."

Kongfa: "One dream every ten years, one hundred years old and prosperous. This temple has no name, just waiting for someone who is destined to name it."

Xia Mengyao said: "I want to stay here for the rest of my life, accompanying the green lantern. I want to atone for my sins for the rest of my life and name this temple."

Ok.

Kongfa nodded and waved his hand gently.

Monk Chunfa immediately brought a tray with a golden razor on it.

Kong Fa picked up the razor and slowly pressed it against Xia Mengyao's long hair: "Three thousand black hairs are all troubles, and ninety thousand miles of mortal world are bad fate. If you shave these black hairs today, half of your life will be cut off. Donor, may I wish Let go of these [-] mortal world?"

Xia Mengyao closed her eyes, her expression showing endless pain.

In my mind, I was thinking of that young man.

Unbroken memories, unclear love.

Tears swirled.

The mortal world is like blood, and blood and tears flow.

Finally, Xia Mengyao looked up and saw the [-]-meter Buddha statue.

She smiled.

Tears!

I don't know whether to cry or laugh.

At a critical moment, she looked back and looked at the world outside the door.

When she looked back, her eyes had become extremely determined: "I do! Please master the gradient for me."

Click!

Razor strikes.

Three thousand black hairs slipped down one after another.

She cried and laughed.

Tears slowly flowed down her cheeks.

After a while, the green hair was gone and he was already bald.

However, I have to say...a beauty is a beauty, even if she has no makeup or no hair. But it is still a unique work of art in the world.

Kongfa raised his hand and stroked the top of Xia Mengyao's head: "Going far away to the Jinghong Banquet, to see the beauty of Yaochi in its prime. It's a dream every ten years, your name... is a dream."

Xia Mengyao clasped her hands together and said deeply: "Yes."

Kong Fa nodded and said to the other four monks in red cassocks: "After today, Weiming Temple welcomes the fifth Dharma monk. The dream donor came to pray for atonement, and his intention is for the common people in the world. Please support him a lot. !”

The four great Dharma monks simultaneously saluted with one palm: "Yes. Master Kongfa."

Just then—

A loud voice came from outside the door.

"Meng Yao!"

hum!

Xia Mengyao, who was kneeling on the futon, was suddenly shaken, and her whole body was trembling violently.

This voice haunts me, and I couldn't be more familiar.

However, Xia Mengyao never looked back.

Gritting his teeth, he held back all the emotions in his heart.

"Meng Yao!"

"Meng Yao!!"

Outside the door, the voice continued to sound. He kept calling Xia Mengyao's name.

However, Xia Mengyao still knelt on the futon, motionless.

Only tears were left, flowing down continuously.

hum!

Xiao Beichen was standing outside the Buddhist hall. Through the dim light in the Buddhist hall, he could vaguely see Xia Mengyao's back.

However, no matter how he called, the figure always faced away from him and did not look back.

In front, eighteen Bodhisattvas stood in a row, blocking Xiao Beichen's way into the Buddhist hall.

Xiao Beichen could have taken action or forced his way in, but he did not do so.

He didn't want to embarrass Xia Mengyao.

Just calling Xia Mengyao's name.

There was no reply for a long time.

Xiao Beichen covered his heart and felt that his heart was crushed.

Xia Qinghuang just stood beside Xiao Beichen without saying a word.

Eh!

A sigh came.

I saw Master Kongfa walking out of the Buddhist hall. When he saw Xiao Beichen, he made a salute with one palm and recited a Buddha's name: "You are the donor Xiao, right?"

Xiao Beichen stopped calling and looked at the old monk in front of him seriously.

He is very old.

The old one is indescribable.

Moreover, the aura on this person is extremely strong. It was a geometric order of magnitude stronger than Qingdi and Shang Gong. In the past, Xiao Beichen traveled to so many places in Daxia and met so many powerful people. Except for Chen Luoyan and Jiuming Tianhu, no one can compare with this old monk.

It's too strong.

Xiao Beichen saluted with one palm and said, "It's me."

Xiao Beichen could tell that the old monk knew his origins.

This is not surprising.

You know, Xiao Beichen has long been famous as a super strong man in the entire Great Xia. It's no surprise that anyone knows his own name.

Ah!

Master Kongfa nodded: "The benefactor of the dream has become a monk and has escaped into Buddhism. From now on, the benefactor of the dream will be my Buddhist monk, cutting off ninety thousand miles of mortal world. The benefactor of the dream has seen through the world of mortals and let go of everything. Donor Xiao again Why are you so persistent?"

Already finished the tonsure?

Hearing this, Xiao Beichen's heart ached like a knife.

asphyxia!

After all, it was a step too late.

Such an ending almost made Xiao Beichen crazy.

He suppressed the emotions that were about to explode and said word by word: "She is the empress. She is not allowed to enter the Buddhist temple without my permission!"

Kongfa said: "Although you are the Northern Emperor of Great Xia, Buddhism does not distinguish between each other. All living beings are equal. Please don't break the rules of Buddhism. Even if the donor agrees to see you, he will not die in the past, but will live in another life."

"The destination of the benefactor of the dream is not the emperor and the empress. It is the empty gate. This is all."

"Amitabha!"

Kongfa made a salute with one palm, recited a loud Buddha's name, then turned around and left.

The four red-robed Dharma monks in the Buddhist hall also left one after another.

Xia Mengyao was the only one left in the silent Buddhist hall.

Xiao Beichen staggered to the door of the Buddhist hall.

Through a door, staring at the person inside.

She was clearly right in front of me, but she felt extremely far away.

Xiao Beichen's accelerated breathing almost made it difficult for him to take a breath. Every word he spoke was as painful as a knife: "Mengyao, you are the empress. Why do you have to do this? I know that the Taoist affairs are difficult for you. I did it. It was me who made it difficult for you to get caught in the middle."

"All kinds of evil fate are caused by me. If someone must be punished, that person should be me. You have done a good enough job. You have never let anyone down, let alone use my mistakes to punish you. Myself."

"You come out! Come out!"

Xiao Beichen's emotions have reached the critical point.

Every word comes from the heart.

However, the temple was quiet.

The woman was still kneeling on the futon, facing the Buddha statue. No response was made.

What no one noticed was that she was already in tears.

"Xia Mengyao, come out! If there is a problem, I will face it with you. Do you hear me, come out!!"

"You are the empress, and I am the Northern Emperor. You are my emperor's empress. You cannot enter the Void Gate without my permission. Do you hear me? I'll let you out!"

"come out!"

"come out!!!"

"If you are suffering in your heart, I will go with you. Why do you come to Buddhism? Buddha cannot save you!"

"If you don't come out, I will bulldoze this Weiming Temple. In order to welcome back my emperor's empress, I can bulldoze any obstacles in the world! Come out!!"

Xiao Beichen shouted with all his strength.

But the woman didn't look back or speak.

This made Xiao Beichen sad, angry and desperate.

Boom!

The sky thundered, dark clouds rolled, and rain poured down.

Xiao Beichen just stood outside the door, letting the cold rain beat on Xiao Beichen's body.

cold!

pain!

It broke our hearts!

This stop lasted three days and three nights.

Xiao Beichen's voice became hoarse, and his body was trembling due to the cold temperature.

He kept staring at the woman in the Buddhist hall, but the woman never looked back at him.

Finally, Xiao Beichen felt the woman's extraordinary determination and knew that no matter what he did today, he could not make the woman change her mind.

Xia Qinghuang on the side couldn't stand it anymore: "Beichen, don't force each other. Let's go."

Swish!

Xiao Beichen suddenly stood up straight and turned to look at Kongfa's residence in the distance: "No, I have to see Kongfa. Yu Linglong must have said something to the empress. Kongfa knows."

Xia Qinghuang sighed: "Why are you doing this?"

Xiao Beichen's eyes were extremely determined: "If I can't welcome the Empress back, it's pointless for me, the Northern Emperor, to sit there. Whoever dares to stop me from welcoming back the Empress, I will fight with him. Let's go!"
