smile to heart

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

"Last time we mentioned that Li Yuanxie, who had done a lot of evil, was killed by all the immortals in Shangjiang with their concerted efforts. The former disciple of the Changting Lin family and the apprentice of the late Shenren Daofeizi, it was terrible. Faces from all sects and sects sat on the throne of the Judgment Hall in Jiugai Mountain..."

In the restaurant, on the storytelling table, an old man was spitting all over the place. Although the smoke of a great battle has cleared, the battle of words and guns will never end.

By the window, a drinker slowly put down his wine bowl. After listening to these storytellers, he could not help but sneer at the original facts and random plots, while a person wearing a black cloak next to him remained calm. .

Downstairs, the old storyteller took a sip of water, and everyone in the audience chewed peanuts, savoring the aftertaste of the story.

A young man who had just arrived from Dijiang couldn't quite understand what he heard, and asked, "But, according to what you said, wouldn't Qi Zhong also become a devil? How could he sit on the top of Jiugai Mountain?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.The storyteller was disdainful and commented:

"This guest officer's question is wonderful. He is clearly a monster, but he proclaims himself the leader of the fairy forest and sits on the seat of the fairy. Let's talk about it, is there such a reason in this world?"

The tense atmosphere eased, and some dirty emotions were brought out, and someone slapped the table:

"That's right. A heinous evil spirit is so rampant. How can he be capable? Not to mention how much contribution the Immortal Liuzhen made when he was in power, even the little son of the former Xianzun Mu family was also conscientious and humble. Everyone's style."

"He was just a running dog under Li Yuanxie before. He did so many evil things. First, he hurt the Mu family, and then he slaughtered the master's family and persecuted the immortal family. Now that he is in power, maybe there will be some troubles. .”

Someone chimed in.Everyone ignored it, and one of them started talking and complaining.

"But, but, he really hasn't done anything bad right now?"

The young boy who asked the question at first became confused again, and asked those people softly.

Everyone looked back with surprised looks.

"Where did you come from? Want to speak for the big devil?"

"That's right, since you're not too old, don't you be intoxicated with ecstasy soup?"

"Hey. The little baby is young and doesn't understand the morals of the world. Even monsters deserve to die, how can they be allowed to harm the common people?"

The young man's eyes were red, and he felt wronged: "Then tell me, if he doesn't want to be a fairy, who can do it?"

When asked this question, everyone paused.I started to think about it, the war ended that day, there were countless casualties, and how many immortal families died, just say that everyone in Na Mu and Lu sects was seriously injured. For a while, no one really dared to step forward to challenge Qi Zhong.

"Hey, what's the baby asking. Don't talk to him, don't talk to him."

"Yes, drink, drink."

"..."

The mob dispersed, the young man was very angry, he just asked a few words ignorantly, but was told that he was wrong, lost his meal money, and hurried out.

"Hmph. I think in the eyes of these people, no one is qualified to be that immortal except myself, right?"

By the window, Luo Qingchen gently stroked the teacup, slowly covered a cup of tea, and snorted coldly.

The person under the cloak smiled: "Isn't it just what we want?"

"As long as they are dissatisfied, the voice of opposition will be louder. Over time, the widows will lose. We are now waiting patiently. The time is right, or there are other changes, which will only be beneficial."

Luo Qingchen moved the pain in his shoulder and elbow, and said with resentment: "Qi Zhong, this kid, is quite ambitious. He talks about revenge, but he still sticks to the big position?"

"However, now that he has gained all his consciousness, it will be even more difficult for us to compete with him."

Xi Yan sneered and said: "Master, don't worry. All the spiritual consciousness will be absorbed into the body, and after a hundred days of evil thoughts, his body will be broken. At that time, he will be backlashed and wiped out... The master just needs to lay out the next plan and take back the power." .”

"If the consciousness is separated from the host, no one can control it. How can such a situation benefit me?" Luo Qingchen frowned and thought hard.

Xi Yan pondered, and said again: "Perhaps, master, you can wait for Feng Mei to make a move."

"It's another trick of the oriole, it's really versatile..."

Luo Qingchen raised his eyebrows, smiled joyfully, his mind was agitated, and he coughed for a long while, touching his old wounds.

It was already spring outside the window. A tung tree in the courtyard shook off a lot of petals with the wind, and fell on the green eaves, hitting a tabby cat. It yawned and jumped down leisurely.

In the virtual environment, there are still thousands of silent Buddha statues.

Mu Yun meditated here for many days, his heart was as calm as water, as if he had entered a certain state, but he still had a little obsession, and he was unwilling to find out.

A golden Buddha statue shined in front of his eyes again, and Venerable Bodhi's foresight returned to his side, and he said in a deep voice, "Xi Yi, have you meditated for a long time, have you enlightened?"

"The disciple is dull, please remind the venerable."

The Buddha statue displays a trace of Buddha power, revealing a human portrait in the vast sea of ​​clouds.

"This is the change in the outside world in the past few months. Take a look."

Hearing the sound, Mu Yun stepped forward. There were many changes in Tongjiang, the ups and downs of the war, and finally the calm, but the faces of a few people flashed his eyes in a hurry, evoking the hidden thoughts in his heart.

"My lord, I..." He hesitated.

Venerable Bodhi said again: "The greatest catastrophe in Tongjiang has come in less than a hundred days. If you really want to enter the world to save sentient beings, this seat will grant you the blessing of the supreme Buddha power, but the moment you inherit the Buddha power, you must also Take up this Buddha's fate, and break all entanglements in the secular world..."

Mu Yun shook hands, then let go: "The disciples no longer exist in the outside world, do you still need to settle any ties?"

The Buddha statue said kindly: "Perhaps you can leave the ancient temple and go to the world to find the real answer."

"Go out?" Mu Yun was a little moved, but also a little scared.

Venerable Bodhi saw his hesitation, and cast a golden light, which turned into a white cloth, and said: "This trip, you can cover your eyes and go with your heart. Don't ask the world any questions, and don't take off your eyes." Bu, you are nostalgic for the beauty of the world, the people you meet along the way, and the things you experience are all fates that you should cut off..."

edge?He didn't know whether it was a bad relationship or a good relationship, so he just asked himself to cut off all involvement.Mu Yun took the white cloth trimmed with silver patterns and gently tied it over his eyes.

When he closed his eyes, he saw all darkness.When he opened his eyes, he could only see a dim, pure white.In this way, the world he sees is no longer black and white.

But is the world really black and white?

Mu Yun was stunned in the same place, the venerable had already left, and he was left to wander, helpless, letting the wind pass by, and his heart surged slightly.

For a period of time in mid-March, two shocking news came out of Shangjiang, which had just recovered its tranquility, and spread all over the restaurants in the streets and alleys. I went to the restaurant to queue up early in the morning, waiting to hear those two stories.

Suburban herbal shop.

Taking advantage of the sunny weather, Feng Mei hastily took out his precious herbs and put them in the sun to avoid mold and waste.After a lot of fuss, thin sweat dripped from his forehead. At this moment, a pair of plain hands gave him a clean brocade handkerchief and wiped it gently.

Looking sideways, Feng Mei was stunned, and stammered: "Thank you, thank you Xiaoxiao."

Today she is wearing a light blouse of lotus root flowers, which is beautiful and graceful, her eyes are looking forward, like raining peach blossoms, not stained by the world.Feng Mei lowered her eyes unnaturally, not daring to look more.

Seeing his reaction like this, Fang Yanxiao asked strangely, "Master Medical Sage, did you drop something? Why do you keep staring at the ground?"

Feng Mei quickly raised her eyes and said with a smile: "No, no. By the way, is your injury better?"

Fang Yanxiao sighed lightly: "It's much better. It's just a heartache, so how can I heal it?"

"Since it's broken, why do you need to think about the past that you missed?"

Rational relief made Fang Yanxiao calm down, forced a smile and said, "Yes. I shouldn't think about it anymore. Is your lord free today? Let's go to the town to buy some wine."

Feng Mei was stunned for a moment, then put down the herbs in her hand, and said awkwardly: "Yes. What kind of wine do you want to drink? Sweet or spicy..."

"Anyway, it's not medicinal wine..."

"Haha... I never gave you medicinal wine."

……

Fang Yanxiao and the others came to the restaurant, bought wine, and were about to leave, when the storyteller had already talked about the exciting part.Feng Mei wanted to relieve her worries, so she delayed on purpose: "Hey, why don't you listen to it, to relieve boredom..."

"Uh, okay. Don't worry, everyone, today's two stories will definitely shock you..."

The storyteller anxiously took a sip of cold tea, wiped off his sweat, and then patted the wood to preach.

"It is said that Qi Zhong, the leader of the fairy forest alliance in Jiugai Mountain, finally made a move after Ansheng for a month. Everyone thought that he would be silent because no one would respond to him, but he didn't know how long he became a fairy. Two outrageous things happened."

"What's the matter?" Someone asked curiously.

"The first one is about the Tang Sect. Not long after the devil came to power, he sent people to surround the Tang Sect. He thought it was going to follow the steps of his predecessors and cause a massacre. After all, Li Yuanxie was not It was very cruel...but in the end, Qi Zhong, the demon leader, was not there, and after mobilizing his troops for a long time, only Tang Jian, the current hall master of the Tang Sect, was arrested."

The storyteller slowly put down his fan and took a sip of tea.

Everyone's appetite was whetted, and they hurriedly asked, "Why are you arresting him?"

"What happened afterward?"

"I caught this young master from the Tang Sect, but he didn't go back to Jiugai Mountain, but sent him to Yuhuatai in the territory of the Tang Sect, and ordered people to pierce his heart with thousands of arrows, and then poured mercury on his body, locked his soul with talisman paper, and mixed it with clay. Sand, make this person into a complete living statue, build it on the Yuhuatai, and kneel under another statue."

The storyteller's eyes widened, trying to exaggerate the cruelty.

Everyone couldn't help drooling, and one of them tremblingly asked, "Then, who is that other statue?"

"Hey. The identity of this person is really strange. He is the substitute of Li Thief Li Daitao, who was mistakenly killed by Tang Jian before..."

When the answer was announced, everyone sighed and discussed:

"There is a grievance and a debtor. Tang Jian has no grievances or enmity with that devil, and yet he was murdered like this. He is truly black-hearted."

"Although Tang Jian was a good-for-nothing, it was Li's henchman who was killed after all. What's wrong? Qi thief was lucky. He made a tombstone for this person and used a living person as a sacrifice."

"Tsk tsk, it's too bad..."

The discussion faded away, and someone continued to ask, "What about the other story?"

The storyteller shook his fan, with a relaxed expression, and said, "The second thing is about his personal grievances. Everyone remember that when he betrayed his master and took away his master Dao Feizi's fairy root Is it that the fairy bone was finally punished by the thunder of heaven by Lin Jing, the son of Lin Tang and the current head?"

"Remember, remember, my master went to see it at the time. Ouch, that was so miserable, people were almost killed by lightning."

A drinker said excitedly.Everyone glanced at him with complicated expressions.

"Exactly. That's why the devil has always hated this matter. After becoming an immortal, he surrounded Changting Lin's family, but he still didn't destroy the family. He only captured the head of the house, Lin Jing."

"Captured, are you still alive?"

someone asked.The storyteller glanced at him with disgust, and continued: "The body was transported back the next day. I thought it would be worse than the one from the Tang Sect, but in the end it was just a knife on the neck, both knees were chopped off, and it was thrown on the long bench. At the mountain gate at the foot of Tingshan, a letter was left on his chest, which read: he will be buried within two days."

"This devil is so kind? He thought he would let his senior brother die without a place to bury him."

Everyone was puzzled and looked at the storyteller, waiting for an answer.

"Hehe. There are still requirements in the letter, not to set up a memorial tablet for this person, not to be included in Lin's genealogy. He can only be buried on the barren hill opposite the tombs of the previous two masters. He also ordered Lin's disciples to Kneeling to be buried, the tombstone is even half shorter. From a distance, it looks like this Lin Jing is confessing and apologizing to the two masters of the Lin family."

"Ah? Is there still such a practice?"

As soon as the storyteller's voice ended, everyone shouted in surprise.

"The calamity he did himself, he actually asked his fellow disciples to come to atone for his sin?"

"Oh, it really is a devil, he can do such heinous things."

"God, don't worry, just take him away."

……

After Fang Yanxiao listened in silence, she went out calmly.Fengmei regretted chasing after her, and before leaving, she dropped some silver taels and told Xiao Er: "Give the money to that storyteller, and tell him not to tell these stories anymore."

"Ah, this..." Xiao Er scratched his head in bewilderment, at a loss for what to do.
