Under the leadership of Qiao Rulai, the Central Plains slowly restored the scene before the invasion of the demon world. After Qiao Rulai and Xiaokong continued to search and understand, they finally realized when they returned to Yiluyan. The meaning of the so-called "Buddhist country is not in the east, not in the west, but also in the south, and also in the north". In the country, you can only seek in your heart. The heart knows where it is going, and the Buddha is always the same. The so-called other shore is nothing but a return voyage.”

Recite in your heart, turn your thoughts back to the sky, like a clear mirror, reflecting the purest answer, peeking through the upside-down dream, and seeing the true meaning of the Buddha, the Bodhidharma Golden Light Pagoda is right in front of you.But seeing a giant gate suddenly appeared on the ground, the brilliance in the giant gate was brilliant, Qiao Tathagata and Xiaokong were both people with Buddha karma, even though Xiaokong was possessed of demon energy, they still entered the Dharma Golden Light Pagoda smoothly.

Qiao Rulai and Xiaokong learned that the current Bodhidharma Golden Light Pagoda was temporarily immobilized in order to seal the curse of dry marrow after meeting the two great masters of Tianmen.

The so-called dry marrow curse is that Yuan Xie Huang was killed by the first ancestor in the past, and the demon body disintegrated and scattered, but the blood marrow condensed with the resentment, which could not be removed.But the first ancestor of the Buddhist kingdom was worried that Emperor Yuanxie would take this as an opportunity for his resurrection, so he wrapped it with his life-long Buddhist power, sent it to the Buddhist kingdom, and suppressed it with a holy object, a purple golden bowl.

At that time, Qiao Tathagata asked Bodhi Venerable, "The seal of the withered marrow curse is based on the purple golden bowl. What is the connection with the Bodhidharma Golden Light Pagoda?"

The Bodhisattva's answer was, "One flower blooms with five leaves, and the fruit will come naturally. This is the Dharma verse passed down by the first ancestor, and the only connection between the Buddhist kingdom and the world is the successor of the Chan sect in the past. But it is passed down to the sixth patriarch. , the mantle was no longer passed on, two Jiazi after the death of the sixth patriarch, the evil spirit of the Emperor Yuanxie began to be suppressed and unstable, coupled with the instigation of external forces and hypocrisy, causing Wu Zong to fall into the devil, leading to the disaster of destroying the Buddha, the world was devastated, and all the practitioners of the Buddhist kingdom He decided to sacrifice himself and risk his life to deepen the seal to minimize the damage. However, the purple gold bowl was also lost. In order not to loosen the seal, the Bodhidharma Golden Light Pagoda received the decree of the Sixth Patriarch. elsewhere."

The tenacity of the dry marrow curse amazes Qiao Tathagata. Bodhisattva said that as long as he manages to find the purple golden bowl, let the holy object return, and successfully suppress the dry marrow curse, Bodhidharma Golden Light Pagoda will personally seal the demon world.

"A family of demons..." Withdrawing his thoughts, Qiao Tathagata and Xiao Kong searched for records about the purple gold bowl among the extensive collection of books of the demon family, "According to the two venerables, the loss of the purple gold bowl involves history The origin, but the age is long, it is difficult to verify, I hope the books collected here can provide some clues."

Qiao Tathagata took out a classic book and read it carefully, "Within 20 years after the Fifth Patriarch took over the mantle, it was the time for Zijin Bowl to leave the Buddhist kingdom, and those who could cause this change must have something to do with Zen Buddhism, including any Those who came into contact with him were all suspects, um...according to the records, at the time when Emperor Gaozong of the Sheng Dynasty was ill, he ordered Empress Wu to act as an agent of the government...'

"The eminent monk who was assisted by Zen to go to the devil world also passed away during this period of time. It seems that many things have happened in the past 20 years." Qiao Tathagata sighed, then closed the page and meditated secretly, "Zijin It has been hundreds of years since the bowl was lost, so long that even the Buddhist kingdom cannot be sure of the truth of the original history, history...altered history...familiar feeling...'

"Ah!" Qiao Rulai thought of Mo Cangli and the history of the Mo family for a moment, and couldn't help shrinking her pupils, he understood.

After a few days of searching, Qiao Tathagata already had a direction, and then asked Xiao Kong, "Xiao Kong, have you gained anything?"

Xiaokong nodded, and then replied: "Well, I have gained something."

'Hey~ This is the intention of the master, to resolve everyone's evil thoughts towards him while following his brother in dealing with martial arts affairs, so that he can walk on the martial arts fair and squarely, instead of being bullied by outsiders because of his devilish energy. Repulsion, my brother is kind-hearted and calm-tempered, and he can slowly dissolve the trace of resentment towards the historian that he still has in his heart after being enlightened by his master. 'Xiao Kong closed his eyes and took a long breath.

"Then let's go." Qiao Rulai said softly as she saw that the younger brother in front of her had changed in personality but still had the same temperament as before.

The voices of the two slowly lowered, and the backs of the two were elongated a lot under the shining of the setting sun, and they were reflected in the demon family that had become silent again.

As the moon rose and the stars appeared, in the garden of Beijing Palace under the shining stars, the breeze was blowing, the fragrance of flowers was overflowing, and the solitary sound of Jingri drove everyone away.

"Now it seems that Xiao Wang's impromptu decision was correct." King Bei Jing held up a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus honey and held Mochizuki high. His eyes were relaxed and relieved that Zhan Bingwei had never seen before, and the smile on his face was not the same as before. There was no difference between a gentle smile like a formula, but a sincere smile that he had only seen on Jingri Guming's face a few times.

Seeing the flashing expression on Zhan Bingwei's face, Sizhi Wutong immediately held up his teacup and said respectfully to King Beijing, "My lord can put it down, Xiao Si is very happy to see it, and my lord has become so relieved, it makes people feel gratified Xiao Si believes that Zhan Bingwei thinks the same way."

Zhan Bingwei nodded when he heard the words, then took a cup of tea and drank it down. The melancholy between his brows seemed to have dissipated a little under this situation, but there was still a dark cloud between his brows that could not dissipate.

Sizhi Wutong knew that it must have something to do with his past. He is not a person who digs into other people's privacy, and he never asks others. Now the atmosphere is getting warmer and warmer. He also sees that King Bei Jing seems to have something to say. He talked to Zhan Bingwei, but he hesitated to speak because of his own existence.

"Xiaosi has something to find Wuxin, so I will leave first." Then he took his utensils and left, and only King Bei Jing and Zhan Bingwei and two utensils remained in the garden.

"Raise a glass to the moon, lie down and look at the world, the sky is boundless, and you will be drunk and happy."

King Bei Jing and Zhan Bingwei looked at each other, they knew the reason of Si Zhi Wu Tong's departure, and immediately began to 'talk'.

And in Zhengqi Villa's study room, Su Zhenzhen and Shi Yanwen each hold a piece, playing chess leisurely, only to see that Su Zhenzhen is holding a black stone in his hand to make the first move, and the first move landed in the center of the chessboard.

Shi Yanwen blinked, looked at Su Zhenzhen's first move, "Oh? The first move was Tianyuan, then I'm welcome."

The galaxy outside the window is vast, and the sea of ​​chess is boundless in front of them. The two who haven't played chess for a long time, discuss the situation of martial arts with chess again tonight.

"Well, the layout is very good, just like the situation in the martial arts world today, where China and the Miao do their own thing and don't interfere with each other, and the various factions in the martial arts are stable, and everything is calm." Shi Yanwen said in detail, but when he saw one place, he couldn't help but He frowned, "But...this move of dark chess, is there another dark force in the martial arts that intends to disrupt the situation?"

Su Zhenzhen shook his head when he heard the words, and then he fell down on Heizi once, and said at the same time, "Dharma Golden Light Pagoda is about to enter the world, and while sealing the passage of the devil world, it will inevitably cause a lot of trouble. After all, no one today Can understand the situation inside the Buddha Kingdom."

"You're right, and Yanwen thinks Mr. Cangli's game is not that simple." Shi Yanwen picked up a white piece from the chess cup, a thought flashed in his eyes.

Su Zhenzhen had a gentle smile on his face, "Yanwen's feeling is really good. Mo Cangli's round is indeed not that simple, but the next round is Yanwen, which you don't need and don't need to participate in."

"Oh? Why?" Shi Yanwen looked at Su Zhenzhen with some doubts.

Su Zhenzhen picked up the hot tea on the side and took a sip, "The Mohists are in conflict."

Shi Yanwen immediately understood Su Zhenzhen's simple four words, and he didn't ask any more questions, and put his mind on the chessboard.

"It will set off another storm in the martial arts world, but this is something that Jingzhong must face alone, because he is the current Mohist disciple."

Su Huanzhen's words made Shi Yanwen's heart sink a little, and he sighed in his heart: "Hey~Jing Zhong..."

But Su Zhenzhen looked at Shi Yanwen's delay in making a decision, so he knew what was in his mind, "If Jingzhong needs anything, he will definitely come to us for help. Su didn't want Yanwen to ignore world affairs and half-retire, half-retire , it’s just leaving from the core position of the Central Plains. After all, no matter where a person retreats to, he is not a Jianghu. What’s more, you and I have seen Jingzhong’s growth in the past year, so don’t worry too much.”

"En." With a decision in his heart, Shi Yanwen brought the chess game into a new phase with one drop, "This chess game is over today, it's getting late, let's go to rest."

"Okay." Su really felt the care in Shi Yanwen's words, and smiled happily.

The author has something to say:

It feels like it's going to be scrapped and a little chaotic. I'm writing while making up the drama, and my mind is on the drama. It takes ten hours to update a chapter, and the speed of the shadow is getting slower and slower.
