[Golden Light] Tianlong Yin

05 insects

On the sprite plank road, above the sky, two big birds are soaring side by side.

Yingluo lay on the wooden kite's back, listening to the strong wind whistling in her ears, her long golden red hair fluttering in the wind.

"Xiaoming, Xiaoming!" Yingluo grabbed the young master Kaiming's clothes, and during the flight, she didn't forget to ask questions: "So you are a master of Buddha cultivation? No wonder I feel very kind."

"Master..." Young Master Kaiming Khan: "Let's forget about this kind of title." He squatted down, and stretched out a finger to the child: "This matter must be kept secret."

Yingluo nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yeah, I know. This is a secret."

Then she tilted her head in a strange way: "But why is it a secret? Is it something that needs to be kept secret when practicing Buddhahood among demons? Will it be serious if others find out? Will there be punishment?"

"I'm afraid to let others know and scare them." Young Master Kaiming said seriously, "Besides, no one has a lot of cards in the rivers and lakes~"

"But...the devil, the Buddha, the Buddha with the devil's body." Yingluo raised her eyebrows, "I really met it, it makes people feel at ease."

Peace of mind?Young master Kaiming glanced at the child's relaxed smile, and immediately understood that he must have found a sense of security of the same kind.

Escorted by Ye Xiao, the speed was fast, and in an instant, the other side of the Central Plains was already in sight.

Young master Kaiming heard the child chirping with the giant bird next to him, looked at the distant bank, turned his head and interjected, and said to the giant bird: "Thank you, cat. You will be safe here. The devil world we came to, there is A group of demons entered the area of ​​the sprite plank road in order to send us, and I am afraid that they have not been able to break out of the encirclement, can I trouble you to help them out?"

"Oh yes, yes." He said, Ying Luo also nodded, "Cat, please."

The giant bird quacked a few times, Yingluo waved to it, and it turned around and flew towards the demon world.

When the guardian had disappeared, the ghosts and ghosts all over the mountains and plains poked their heads out again.

The young master calmly took out his spear again, and smiled with his lips curled up: "Come on."

The wooden kite landed on the land of the Central Plains, accompanied by the vigorous Samadhi real fire and the demons that were extinguished in the sky.

"Sure enough, after walking along the sprite plank road, it's always weird not to kill a few monsters." The young master said to himself looking up at the strange scene with the magic stick on his shoulder.

Looking back, I saw the child lying on the edge of the cliff staring at something.

"Hey baby, what are you doing again?"

Young Master Kaiming walked over.

Yingluo stretched out her finger, her voice softened, and she said excitedly, "Look!"

The young master opened his eyes and saw that there was a chrysalis on a green leaf.At this moment, the chrysalis trembled slightly, indicating that there was a change in it.

A thin and small limb protruded from one part of the pupa, then a small green head protruded, and then the whole body slowly detached from the pupa.

It was a newborn juvenile praying mantis.

However, at this time and in this climate?Is the timing a bit off?

Young Master Kaiming glanced around at the scenery of the Central Plains, looked back at the unextinguished Samadhi True Fire that he had burned, and made a judgment: "Probably this fire raised the surrounding temperature, causing the pupae to hatch in advance."

But, what's so good about this?Young master Kaiming muttered in his heart, but he didn't complain when he saw the child's focused expression, but patiently waited beside him.

Yingluo knelt on the ground, her eyes were almost glued to the chrysalis, her mouth was slightly opened, and she seemed to be breathing lightly.

One after another, more baby praying mantises emerged from the pupae.The limbs of the newborn praying mantis are very weak and soft, and they are not very stable when they wobble and stand upright, but they work hard to use their limbs one by one, stumbling, rolling and crawling to move to the open space, moving their bodies so that they can quickly become stronger stand up.

Yingluo stared at this rare scene with novelty and earnestness.

Gradually, the newborn little praying mantis started to run around lively and vigorously.

A smile slowly spread on the child's face.

This smile didn't stay for long, and it collapsed when seeing another scene.

Young praying mantises born first, after their limbs have grown stronger, turn to attack their siblings born later, killing and eating them.

Unexpectedly, Yingluo was stunned to see the rapid development.

"There are such creatures in the Demon World." The son Kaiming, who has been paying attention to the children, squatted down beside her, and said to her, "When there is not enough food, they will eat their own kind, even when they are just mating, mating or just born. It’s all true. This is to ensure their own survival, and also to increase the possibility of continuing the existence of the race.”

Looking at the child staring blankly, the young master said enlightenedly: "Although it is cruel, this is the law of the survival of life."

"It's a pity." The young master sighed suddenly, turned his eyes to those larvae that were killing each other, and changed the topic, "After this kind of battle, the one who survived in the end should be the individual with the highest chance of survival. However, these larvae , even the winner will have no chance of surviving."

"Why?" Yingluo asked.

The young master enlightened: "Because, the timing is wrong. Because of the aftermath of the battle, they mistakenly thought that the season had come and hatched ahead of time. But they were wrong. The current climate and environment are not suitable for the survival of these insects. It won't take long. , they will all die."

Yingluo turned her head to look at those young mantises whose fate was already doomed, and remained silent.

After a moment, she stretched out her hand and swiped her fingers from right to left.

Young Master Kaiming's eyes widened suddenly, what he saw in front of him shocked him so much that he was speechless, and his thoughts stopped for a moment.

Until all the larvae are gone, it turns back into a quiet chrysalis that breeds many vitality and infinite possibilities.

"This……"

Yingluo said, "Next time, live well."

"Oh my god—!!" Young Master Kaiming suddenly went crazy, hugged his head and rubbed it for a while, then grabbed the child violently, pressed her shoulders, and said in a low voice, "You have this ability, do you just use it like this? ?! Ah? Just cast it in front of me like this? Did you use it like this before? My God, ah, ah, ah—"

Yingluo was also stunned by his madness, but a series of questions made her react quickly.The child raised his hand, patted Young Master Kaiming's hair, and comforted him: "Don't worry. I only used it in front of you, and I won't use it indiscriminately. Venerable Vajra and Qiao Tathagata have warned him I can't mess with it."

"Valentine Vajra? Pretty Tathagata? How many people still know about it~" Young Master Kaiming raised his forehead, "I said baby, can you be more defensive? You have been told not to use it indiscriminately. You don't understand this. Does one need the ability to keep secret?"

"I know." Yingluo looked at him and raised a smile: "But I also know that Xiao Ming can be trusted, so it doesn't matter if you find out."

"I'm really defeated." The young master admits defeat openly. He really can't figure out where this kid has such confidence in himself... But he doesn't mind.

"Forget it, let's go." Pulling up the child, the two set out on the road. "The first goal is Xuanhu, and the second goal is Qiao Tathagata!"

06 Reminiscence

It's only been a month since Yingluo left the Central Plains, and the situation in the Central Plains was completely unfamiliar when she came back.

"What does 'follow the great wisdom, save the world and broaden the compassion' mean?" Yingluo asked puzzledly when she saw people walking in one direction repeating this sentence.

"I also want to ask, what the hell is this?" The young master knocked on his head, pointed in that direction and asked Yingluo: "Baby, look over there, could it be your former home, where the Bodhidharma Golden Light Pagoda is? direction?"

Yingluo looked around, nodded, and confirmed what he said.

"It seems that the Buddha Kingdom has changed, those pagodas..." Young Master Kaiming glanced at a pagoda in the distance that can be seen from here, "Next, we have to avoid these pagodas."

"Wooden kite~~~!" Young Master Kaiming called for his mount, and flew into the sky with Ying Luo in his arms, "We have to fly higher. First go to Zhengqi Villa to have a look, and then, collect information."

As expected (Mr. Kaiming's expectation), the Zhengqi Villa is deserted, and it looks deserted for a long time.

Yingluo was going to be confused.Ever since she woke up by the Golden Dragon Pond, in the Central Plains, she has basically only stayed in and been familiar with two places: the Tianmen of the Buddha Kingdom, and the Zhengqi Villa.But now, the Buddhist kingdom seems to have changed, and the Zhengqi Villa is desolate, unable to go to both places, Yingluo is a little at a loss.

"Don't worry, don't you still have me?" Young Master Kaiming patted her head, "So I said, I may be more familiar with the Central Plains than you. Let me think about it, um... There is a man named Heishui City place, we can go and have a look. But before that, we still need to collect some information.”

"And... I have to change my outfit and name." The young master said enlightenedly, as if thinking of something interesting, he showed a bit of a smirk.

"Jiu Suan, Miao Jiang, Dimen... well, Dimen, Dimen, Dimen."

After inquiring about it in disguise, the young master Kaiming, who turned into a traveler in the sea of ​​clouds, walked and pondered.

"Little..." Yingluo, who was walking behind him, called him. As soon as he opened his mouth, the passerby in the sea of ​​clouds turned around, and Yingluo immediately changed his words: "Cloud."

"Xiaoyun." Yingluo jumped up and ran forward: "What should we do now? Qiao Tathagata has also gone to 'follow great wisdom, save the world and broaden compassion'."

"Yeah." Yunhai Passenger looked up to the sky and sighed, "Jingzhong, Jingzhong, this is really troublesome."

"I always feel that your tone has become a little strange." Yingluo tilted her head.

"This is the spirit of professionalism, of course the disguise must be thorough." Yun Hai Passer-by said seriously. "Great Wisdom... Well, I'm going to meet him at the gate of the earth. But you... Before that, let's go to Heishui City first? Do you want to wait for me in Heishui City?"

"Don't take me? Why?" The child pouted immediately, "I want to be with you."

"Hey, to do such a dangerous thing, of course we have to divide our troops into two groups. In case I get brainwashed, you will remember to come and save me. Otherwise, no one will know if the two of us are lost together, so what's the matter? "

Although she knew that the young master's enlightenment was all an excuse, but Yingluo thought about it again and again, and felt that it really made sense, so she had to accept it reluctantly.

Just when the passer-by in the sea of ​​clouds was about to take her to Heishui City, there was suddenly the faint sound of fighting.

"Huh?" Yun Hai Passer's ears moved slightly, "Go and see."

He pulled the child and jumped onto the wooden kite.

The girl in the black hat was running ahead, and behind her, a man and a woman were chasing after her.

Looking down on such a scene in the sea of ​​clouds, Young Master Kaiming sighed slightly, and said to Yingluo: "That seems to be the cousin of Qiao Tathagata, I'm going to save the scene, you wait here for a while."

With that said, he jumped off the wooden kite.

After a while, he came back with the girl in black.

"Yingluo, let's get acquainted. This is Yi Wuxin. She is rushing to Heishui City, and we happened to be together."

Because it was flying in the sky, the surrounding environment made Yi Wuxin's voice slightly nervous: "Ah, hello, my name is Yi Wuxin."

Yingluo blinked: "My name is Yingluo, can I call you sister Wuxin?"

Among the people the child has met, Yi Wuxin is a rare person who is close to her age, which makes the child's heart skip a beat.

"Okay. I haven't had a little sister yet." The good news is that Yi Wuxin is very kind and easy to get in touch with.

"But... are we going in the wrong direction?" Yi Wuxin looked around, hesitantly said: "This is the direction to the former Blackwater City, and now the Blackwater City has changed its location."

"Changed positions?" Yunhai Passerby asked.

"Well, it's right to go this way."

With Yi Wuxin pointing, the passer-by in the sea of ​​clouds speeds up and goes away.

Yingluo grinned and used grimaces to express her ridicule at Young Master Kaiming's "better familiarity with the Central Plains".

Suppressed by the head of the passerby in the sea of ​​clouds.
