smile to heart

======================

The golden avenue was still open and bright. Mu Yun searched along the road, looking at the towering stone Buddha statues on both sides, his heart became more peaceful, and the road ahead became wider and wider until he finished all the gazes of the stone Buddhas, as if he had accepted a The baptism of eyes came to a cloud top.

Mu Yun stopped in front of the cliff, looked up, and in the sea of ​​clouds on the opposite side, stood a stone statue reaching the sky, majestic in front of him, with a deep "Buddha" character engraved in the center, which was extremely mysterious.

Mu Yun bowed his eyebrows respectfully, clasped his hands together, and said in a deep voice: "Disciple Xiyi pays homage to Venerable Bodhi."

As soon as the voice fell, the stone statue changed immediately, and the vast white clouds gradually dispersed, revealing a golden Buddha statue, and opened his lips to respond: "I have been waiting for you for a long time."

From this, Mu Yun was even more sure that he had seen the predecessors in the deep realm of Buddhism, and he was very respectful, and said solemnly: "The lord gave the disciple three hints before, and the disciple solved them one by one before he was able to enter this virtual realm. Meet your lord."

The Buddha statue asked again: "Oh? Tell me about the three hints?"

Mu Yun replied: "One day the bell ringing monk, one day the flower planting monk, one day the epiphany monk."

"When the disciple first entered Buddhism, Abbot Huiyuan bestowed the Dharma name Xiyi and asked the disciple to ring the bell to meditate. This was the first hint. Ten days later, the disciple was sweeping leaves under the tree, and suddenly many lotus seeds fell from the soil. , The disciple planted it into the dry land, and in the evening, thousands of acres of lotus flowers bloomed all over the place. It was the Venerable’s intention to guide the Buddha. In the end, the disciple worshiped the Buddha in the middle of the night, and the Venerable gave him scissors, in order to let the disciple cut off the thread of love in the world and escape into the world. Empty door..."

After the Buddha listened quietly, he was silent for a while, and then asked: "Then do you think you have converted?"

Mu Yun hesitated and lowered his eyes, avoiding this question for a while: "Do you have to take refuge in order to be redeemed?"

The Buddha smiled and said: "This method does not need to give up a piece of meat, nor does it need to waste a grain of rice. It is clearly just a change of mind. Why are most people still sinking in the sea of ​​suffering?"

Mu Yun frowned, and said: "Because desires are hard to fill, right and wrong are hard to judge, gains and losses are hard to distinguish, and love is endless..."

While answering, Mu Yun was stunned for a moment, it turned out that he had answered his own question unconsciously.

The venerable said again: "You are so intelligent, but you are limited by your obsession. This seat can give you the power of Buddha, help you overcome difficulties, and fulfill your long-cherished wish in the past, but before that, you must achieve a free state of mind that is free from emotion, so that you will not lose your mind." Being held hostage by foreign objects..."

"Then, please tell me, my lord, what is the state of freedom from emotion?"

The Buddha statue was not in a hurry to reply, and said lightly: "You should enlighten yourself here first."

"Yes."

The Holy Land of Jiugai Mountain has been occupied by evil spirits for a long time. Mu Xi held the power of righteousness and did not dare to slack off easily. He recruited troops for an uprising for several days, and finally decided on the fifteenth day of the month to recapture the Palace of Judgment, revive the morale of the army, and turn the tide. situation.

And on the fifteenth day, it was also the day when Luo Qingchen's big plan was finalized.

At this moment when he climbed onto the balcony, looking at the vast moonlight, his heart should be calm, but he has been restless.

Unable to count with his fingers, Luo Qingchen frowned faintly: "It shouldn't be, everything is under my control, are there other variables?"

At this time, a black shadow slowly stood behind him, bowing respectfully: "Master, the God Lock Formation has been opened, Li Yuanxie is still preparing to enter the formation, as long as the other third of the divine consciousness arrives, it can be fully integrated." It's..."

Luo Qingchen's thoughts wandered, and he asked seriously: "Has Qi Zhong not come yet?"

Xi Yan paused, and reminded: "There is still half an hour before midnight... Didn't you tell him not to come early?"

"Oh. I forgot...then wait a little longer." Luo Qingchen calmed down a little, and the paper fan he was supporting suddenly stopped shaking.

At this time, a small servant came to report in a hurry: "I want to report to the deputy leader, the god has an invitation."

"Huh? The old thief Li Yuanxie is looking for me at this time... Could it be that he is afraid of something again and wants me to go over and say a few words of 'consolation'."

Frowning in displeasure, Luo Qingchen complained softly to Xi Yan.

Not caring about people, Luo Qingchen said coldly: "Understood, you go down first, I will come later."

The boy nodded, and reminded: "Vice leader, please go as soon as possible, the god said that there is something important to discuss."

"En." Lazily replied, Luo Qingchen propped up the paper fan again, fanning the wind leisurely.

……

On the small road leading to Jiugai Mountain, a Yinhua figure walked leisurely with his hands behind his back and a carefree expression.

Suddenly, a bright red dress emerged from behind the tree trunk on the way forward, blocking Qi Zhong's way.

"Xiao Jin..." Fang Yanxiao looked at the familiar face and shouted excitedly.

Qi Zhong's face darkened, he stared at her warily, silently moved his hand to the saber at his waist, and said indifferently, "Get out of the way."

Fang Yanxiao heard the news that Mu Xi and others attacked the mountain today, so she guessed that Qi Zhong would also take this opportunity to come to revenge, hid here and waited for a long time, and met him as he wished, and now he did not want him to go to the mountain to die, Hurry to persuade.

"You can't go up, you are not his opponent."

Qi Zhong snorted coldly: "I am dead or alive, so what does it have to do with you? You, a vicious woman who works with calculations, has repeatedly pretended to be my sister and deceived me. Why are you hypocritically sympathizing now?"

"No! I never plot against you... Believe it or not, I will never let you go up the mountain tonight."

Fang Yanxiao couldn't explain, so she raised her hand to stop her.

Qi Zhongchou was burning with anger, and saddened by past regrets, his eyes sank, without hesitation, he drew his sword in his hand, and pointed at her angrily: "I'll say it again, get out of the way!"

Fang Yanxiao couldn't bear him to die with the demon, so she insisted on stopping him, took a step forward, and persuaded her earnestly: "Xiao Jin, don't go up the mountain, they...uh."

The persuasion is not finished, but the sword is already stained with blood.The pain of flesh and blood quickly spread from the abdomen, but it was not as good as the desolate pain in Fang Yanxiao's heart.

She watched Qi Zhong draw back his sword sharply, and coldly staggered away from her.

The moment she fainted and fell to the ground, Fang Yanxiao heard his cruel sarcasm: "This sword, I have long wanted to kill you... That night in the dungeon, you lied to me that you could go out of the mountain, but you poisoned Mu Yun without telling me." , I fled to Luanyang, Mrs. Shen kindly took me in, but you destroyed them all... And you kept saying that you would protect me, but you hid me on the day Li Yuanxie pushed me into the furnace... You There are too many lies and too much scheming, taking away so many good things in my life, I hate you! Hate you forever!"

"No...Xiaojin, no..."

Fang Yanxiao tried to grab his sleeve back, but could only see his back resolutely leaving.

The misunderstanding is too deep, the friendship has been weakened, and a sword is the final judgment.Fang Yanxiao was very unwilling, but she was helpless, and fell into a pool of blood, on the verge of death.

……

Arriving at the Judgment Palace, Luo Qingchen looked around, seeing all the formations carefully laid out by Xi Yan, he felt more at ease, and he would definitely achieve success tonight.

After thinking about it, he leaned down for the last time, and stepped forward respectfully: "God, you are looking for me..."

On the seat, Li Yuanxie fell asleep quietly. Hearing the shout, he raised his eyes coldly, stared majestically at Luo Qingchen's humble figure, and said calmly, "Come forward. I have something to say." you say."

Luo Qingchen hesitated for a moment, glanced lightly at the formation from the corner of his eye, it hadn't been activated to the core level, and he couldn't disobey Li Yuanxie's intentions, he gritted his teeth, and walked forward slowly for the sake of the big plan, when he was about to approach the throne...

Suddenly, he slapped his heart with a cruel palm.Luckily, Luo Qingchen was on guard, and when he approached Li Yuanxie, he took a swaying step so that the force of his palm would not fall on him completely, otherwise he would surely die of heartbreak on the spot.

But he didn't expect that Li Yuanxie would suddenly kill him, covered his heart, fell down the stairs in embarrassment, stood up quickly, and blocked the palm energy from scurrying in his body.

"God respects you..."

Li Yuanxie flew down from the high seat, and Ling Ran stood in front of him, furious: "Luo Qingchen, I treat you well, how dare you betray me!"

"Uh... who told you?" Luo Qingchen was vigilant and moved slowly, with more and more blood on the corners of his mouth.

Li Yuanxie was about to fall into the devil, and his murderous intention was already revealed, he raised his palm and swung it away again, desperate for his life: "Surrender to death!"

Luo Qingchen was cautious by nature, and he had acted carefully for many years. Even in such a desperate situation, he was able to reverse the situation. Although he was seriously injured, he still had a sliver of certainty.

Seeing him dodging cunningly, Li Yuanxie became even more furious, and followed his trail, but he stepped into the god-locking formation, unable to be free, and roared furiously.

At this moment of life and death, Luo Qingchen's motivation was too strong, and his palm injured his heart, forcing him to kneel down and vomit blood, and he clenched the blood-stained paper fan tightly, feeling dizzy and painful.

Fortunately, the big plan did not go off the rails. Li Yuanxie was reckless and thoughtless, and was eventually tricked into the formation by him, unable to break free.

Luo Qingchen adjusted his breath, temporarily suppressed the injury, paced forward, and said coldly: "God...just because you know the truth, so what? My Luo Qingchen's method is you who took the lead , Don’t even think about breaking the game... Want to kill me? You won’t have a chance in your next life, hahaha..."

"Really?"

Just as Luo Qingchen was laughing wildly, a disdainful voice came from behind him.

Luo Qingchen turned around and looked, but the gate of the palace was empty. When he was surprised, he suddenly heard a melodious flute sound next to his ears. It was the thick local accent, and it was the piccolo he gave to Junior Brother Changting...

In an instant, he suddenly understood who leaked all this. With scarlet eyes, Luo Qingchen gritted his teeth and said, "Qi... Junior Brother! You are really my good Junior Brother!"

The sound of the flute stopped abruptly, and a brand-new silver figure entered the hall with its hands behind its back, with a sarcastic smile pinched on the corner of its lips.

Luo Qingchen crushed the folding fan in his hand, his face was livid, his palms were filled with anger, and he was so angry that he vomited blood again, covered his heart, staggered back three steps, and knelt down on one knee.

"You...I really underestimated you..."

Qi Zhong's eyes were full of hopeless hatred, he stepped forward with a numb smile, broke the piccolo in his hand, and plunged it into Luo Qingchen's shoulder and elbow, blood was seen instantly: "Luo Qingchen, your hands are the ones who handed Mu Yun the poison. At that moment, it shouldn’t exist.”

Powerless to fight back, Luo Qingchen held back the humiliation and pain, raised his head and asked: "Why? Why are you trying to slander me behind your back?"

Qi Zhong let go of his hand and laughed wildly: "Why? I want to kill Li Yuanxie, but are you a good person? Do you think I don't know the reason why you asked me to cooperate? I'll do whatever I can, just for this moment , personally slaughtered you, to avenge Mu Yun!"

Luo Qingchen was flustered for a moment, trying to explain in vain: "I didn't kill him, everything was the injustice of God, you shouldn't hate me..."

"Fuck him, God's will is unfair... If you quibble again, I'll cut off your tongue first! You didn't kill him, but you plotted against him, tortured him, and even poisoned him... I don't care whose orders these are , Whose idea, as long as you participate, his blood will be on your hands, I will kill you all, and comfort his dead soul..."

Hearing this, Luo Qingchen was full of resentment and anger, and he lowered his eyes for a moment of despair: "Madman..."

Qi Zhong twitched the corners of his mouth indifferently, clenched his long sword tightly, and settled down to kill: "Now, let me see you off for the last time, Senior Brother Luo."

Knowing that there was nothing he could do to recover, Luo Qingchen blinked unwillingly. Seeing that the plan was about to come true, but such a change occurred, he couldn't swallow the bad breath, and glared at Qi Zhong resentfully.

Just as the sword light was swiping down, a black-clothed figure moved quickly, and when Qi Zhong was focused on killing Luo Qingchen, he sprinkled countless poisonous powder into his eyes, Qi Zhong suddenly felt the burning pain of his eyes, It's unbearable to close your eyes.

Seeing this, Xi Yan took advantage of this to rescue Luo Qingchen.

Seeing that the formation has reached the perfect time for integration, Luo Qingchen was unwilling to give up this great opportunity, broke free from Xi Yan's hands, and tried his best to push the blind Qi Zhong into the formation, and died together with Li Yuanxie.

"Master, let's go! Before the formation is over, there will be chaos in this place. If the green hills are left, we don't have to worry about running out of firewood!"

Xi Yan pulled him over and tried hard to persuade him.Luo Qingchen's hands were injured, and he hung down weakly. He glared at the two people in the formation again with resentment, and left in anger.

Qi Zhong's eyes were damaged by the poison. He quickly locked his temples to prevent the poison from spreading. When he was blind, he didn't know where he was. .

"Boy, hand over your consciousness!"

Hearing Li Yuanxie's voice, Qi Zhong was filled with anger, and with his remaining senses, he responded with a blind sword.

In the formation, the power of spiritual consciousness has been restrained many times, and Li Yuanxie has been defeated.Although Qi Zhong was also injured, the swordsmanship he used was all taught to him by Mu Yun. His moves were exquisite, and he quickly reversed the situation, waiting for the final move to kill him.

The moment the sword rose and fell, the formation stopped, and Li Yuanxie's corpse fell to the ground.Qi Zhong's hands were dripping with blood, dripping down the hall, he stood up holding his sword, walked to the throne in a daze, and sat down tiredly.

This sitting is January.
