The apprentices who were picked up were cut in vain

It was already evening, and the sunset glow in the sky was as gorgeous as flames. Xie Yan and Yun Yiyuan were walking on a secluded path in Tianlun Mountain, which was very close to the place where Yun Yiyuan was arranged to stay. It is clean, and there are a few vigorous peach blossom trees in bloom along the road, which is a bit like a paradise.

Xie Yan held a white porcelain bottle of red bayberry juice in his hand, he was leisurely, and chatted with Yun Yiyuan:

"Tianlun Mountain has a beautiful scenery, and the people in the sect are also kind. If I can live here for a long time, it will be pleasant, don't you think, apprentice brother?"

"This is indeed a good place to practice, but it may not be easy to stay here, right? By the way, didn't the master allow you to drink alcohol? Why did you use fruit juice instead?" Yun Yiyuan looked at Xie Yan, at this moment, the rays of the sun reflected on Xie Yan's face, making Xie Yan have a kind of ethereal beauty.

"I am the apprentice of the sect master. The apprentice I accepted is of course a Tianlun Mountain person. Why can't I stay here? Also, the sect master said that the prohibition on alcohol was proposed by me back then. Although I don’t remember, I am the one who proposed the rules, so I can’t take the lead in breaking the rules. This is a matter of principle.” Xie Yan said, taking a sip of bayberry juice, “Besides, the bayberry juice that Elder Zhong personally squeezed for me, It’s also very good to drink.”

Yun Yiyuan looked at the bayberry juice in Xie Yan's hand, lowered his eyes slightly, and said softly, "It seems that Master, you really want to stay here..."

"Isn't it good here?" Xie Yan looked at Yun Yiyuan, seeming to be a little reluctant, "Don't worry, if you don't want to stay here, we will go out to visit the mountains and rivers after the matter of the Bliss Gate is settled. By the way, I can accompany you home to have a look, what do you think?"

When Yun Yiyuan heard the words, his face was tinged with a smile, "It sounds good, happy and unrestrained, and unrestrained in the world... If so many things didn't happen to Senior Zhou and Elder Zhong, it might be the same. Master, what do you say?" Elder Zhong and Senior Zhou, was there... anything between them?"

"Huh? Brother apprentice, I didn't expect you to be such a gossip?" Xie Yan asked in surprise, "Why, do you think the two... have a story?"

"Master..." Yun Yiyuan's face turned red when Xie Yan said this, "I don't want to inquire about other people's private affairs, but after hearing what you said about them before, I always feel that Elder Zhong likes Senior Zhou very much. , but you and I both know the ending of Senior Zhou..."

"I understand, you are regretting the relationship between the two of them. Damn, if the head master hadn't arrested Elder Zhong back then, maybe they are both living well now, as a couple of gods and immortals in the world. Happy, the head master is really good at beating mandarin ducks!" Xie Yan sighed.

"The cause and effect in this world, if the process is changed, will the result definitely change?" Yun Yiyuan murmured, "Senior Zhou was killed in his own sect, even if Elder Zhong really stayed with Senior Zhou, he couldn't Follow Senior Zhou back to the teacher's gate? Or maybe, Senior Zhou will be killed together with Elder Zhong..."

"What are you talking about! This kid!" Xie Yan patted Yun Yiyuan's forehead, "You are becoming more and more fond of thinking wildly!"

"Master," Yun Yiyuan looked at the setting sun in the sky, with deep sadness in his eyes, "If one day, the medicine can't cure me, I will be out of control and endanger the world, please kill me."

"Bah!" Xie Yan was angry, "What nonsense are you talking about? You have also studied Buddhism with your brother. Why are you thinking so negatively? To sum it up, you, Brother Zhou, were all caused by that Ultimate Bliss Gate, Master I won't be thankful if I don't go and root out that Ultimate Bliss Gate!"

"Master, do you know the real reason why I ran away from home?" Yun Yiyuan smiled bitterly at Xie Yan.

"Didn't you want to find an expert to be your teacher? Don't worry, there are so many experts here in Tianlun Mountain, even if I can't teach you, Master, they will still teach you a half way. Don't worry." Xie Yan thought Kuan Yunyiyuan's heart, but saw him shaking his head.

"This is just one of the reasons, and there is another more important reason. My brother has not heard from him since he ran away from home a few years ago. I want to find him." Yun Yiyuan said, stroking his waist Yupei, "My brother also has a piece of this jade pendant, which is in the shape of a cloud."

"Run away from home?" Xie Yan thought about it, why does it sound like Xie Yao's experience?He is also very talented. He went down the mountain to practice, but there was no news. Even in a place as powerful as Tianlun Mountain, he couldn't find his whereabouts until he crossed over and took over this body...

Xie Yan suddenly had a terrible thought in his heart, his elder brother who didn't know Yun Yiyuan was also given by the Bliss Gate...

Looking at the uncertain expression on Xie Yan's face, Yun Yiyuan also guessed a bit, "Master, do you also think that my brother's disappearance is related to the Gate of Bliss?"

"How is it possible! You're thinking too much! Didn't you say that your brother likes to travel around? Maybe he's cool somewhere!" Xie Yan said with a smile, wanting to comfort Yun Yiyuan.

"Master, maybe it's not a bad thing for me to be fed this bliss pill." Yun Yiyuan said suddenly, "At least this pill makes me feel that I'm not such a waste."

"You're still useless?" Xie Yan stared like a copper bell, "Didn't you hear what Elder Zhu said, you have excellent aptitude!"

"Yes, I have excellent aptitude, and I have given full play to the efficacy of the medicine. Since Bliss Gate dares to feed me this Bliss Pill, I have to bear the consequences," Yun Yiyuan swept away the sorrow just now, his eyes were all stern, and his expression was also It's a little hideous.

"What do you mean?" Seeing Yun Yiyuan's appearance, Xie Yan felt a little scared for no reason.

"At the early stage of Jindan, I can beat the Taoist in the late Jindan to such an embarrassment. If I improve my spells later..." Yun Yiyuan gradually became excited, "If I do the opposite In short, use this Bliss Pill to speed up your cultivation, and then eradicate that Bliss Gate..."

"There is no tree in Bodhi, the mirror is not a stage, and there is nothing in it, where can it cause dust."

Xie Yan was worried about not being able to answer Yun Yiyuan's words, when he heard a gentle male voice not far away, "Try yourself, I'm afraid you will fall into the quagmire, unable to extricate yourself, be careful, be careful."

"Who?" Yun Yiyuan looked over vigilantly, but saw a man in a light blue robe squatting under a nearby tree, as if he was looking at something on the ground, not at them at all.

The man in front of him also has the pattern of Tianlun Mountain painted on his robe, but he doesn't look like an ordinary disciple, maybe he is some kind of big shot.Xie Yan didn't dare to be negligent, so he stepped forward to salute, and said, "We master and apprentice have no intention of disturbing, if there is any offense, please forgive me."

"It's okay, I'm just here to flick the dirt on these flowers and plants." The man took out a handkerchief from his cuff, wiped his hands, turned around and looked at Xie Yan and the others, "So it's Yao'er, why not?" , you have already accepted apprentices after you have been out for all these years?"

The man had an extremely gentle face.The lines of the eyebrows and eyes are extremely soft, and there is a little smile at the corners of the eyes. The overall feeling is like a warm spring breeze, which makes Xie Yan feel very cordial.

Maybe someone Xie Yao knew again?Xie Yan touched his head in embarrassment and said: "Well, I have amnesia, and I don't remember many things."

"Forgetting, maybe it's a new student." The man smiled, "Since we forgot, let's get to know each other again. I am Nan Xin, and strictly speaking, I am also one of your many uncles."

"My name is Xie Yan now, and he is my apprentice, Yun Yiyuan," Xie Yan said, "I met Master Nan."

"I met Uncle Nan." Yun Yiyuan regained his composure at this moment, and bowed to Nan Xin.

"Uncle Nan?" Nan Xin was amused, "Wouldn't Li Qing be called Uncle Female? That's fine, just call me Nan Xin."

"Then how is it possible, you are an elder after all..." Before Yun Yiyuan finished speaking, Nan Xin stuffed a flower in his palm, and he was stunned.

"Look at how beautiful this flower is. Even though it fell into the soil, it can't hide its beauty." Nan Xin looked at Yun Yiyuan with deep meaning, "I believe you understand what I said before."

Holding the flower in his hand, Yun Yiyuan looked at it silently for a long time without saying a word.

"I always feel that what you say, Mr. Nanxin, doesn't sound like a Taoist sentence, but a Buddhist sentence?" Xie Yan broke the silence, "Tianlun Mountain is not mainly about Taoism, why should we also study Buddhism? "

"Buddhism and Taoism already have a complementary relationship, and there is no such strict dividing line. You are right. What I said earlier is a four-line verse written by the Sixth Patriarch Huineng. As for the meaning, my nephew and master are smart. I don't need to break it, do I?" Nan Xin said, looking at the peach blossom tree by the roadside, the breeze blew by, and the faint fragrance of the flower tree was refreshing.

"But I don't understand..." Xie Yan pursed his lips, "Can't you tell me?"

"Sakyamuni Buddha was enlightened under the bodhi tree, so bodhi represents wisdom, and also represents the human state of mind is like a bright mirror. You must constantly observe yourself, and don't let dust and dirt obscure your bright nature." Yun Yiyuan He opened the mouth and said in a low voice, "My brother once told me these words."

"Then your elder brother must be a man of great wisdom." Nan Xin said with a smile, "I believe you are too."

Xie Yan who was on the side only now realized the clue. Dare to feel that Nan Xin heard Yun Yiyuan's idea of ​​using the Bliss Pill earlier, so he used four lines of gatha to dissuade him. I don't know if the younger brother listened to it.

"It's getting late, you should go back to rest." Nan Xin glanced at Yun Yiyuan, and said in an extremely soft voice, "For many things, taking the wrong path is definitely not a good way to solve things."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yiyuan's eyes turned slightly red, and he saluted Nan Xin solemnly, "Thank you for your teaching, senior."

"Children can be taught." Nan Xin nodded in satisfaction, and blinked at Xie Yan, "You should rest earlier, don't worry too much."

"What are you worrying about...Master Nan Xin, don't worry, I've always been lenient, and I don't have the habit of taking things to heart." Xie Yan said, but Nan Xin shook his head with a smile, and walked to his side .

"You didn't hide your little thoughts at all." Nan Xin whispered in Xie Yan's ear, "If you are reborn, I will not expose you."

What?Xie Yan froze, and subconsciously swallowed a few times. Why did he feel that the smiling Master Nan Xin in front of him had a feeling that he could see through himself?

"Let's go, people have to go to bed early to recuperate." Nan Xin waved at Xie Yan and the others, and walked away slowly.

"That..." Xie Yan couldn't help shouting, "Uncle Nan Xin, why don't you use the sword?"

"Well..." Nan Xin didn't turn his head, and laughed loudly, "You saw me alone, without a sword!"

What a strange man.Xie Yan frowned. How could a person who seemed to be quite cultivated not have a sword?

"All dharmas come from the heart, the heart has nothing to do, and the dharma has no place to live..." Yun Yiyuan looked at Nan Xin's back, and said to himself, "Why do I seem to know everything, and I don't seem to know everything?" Don't you understand?"
