Guan Shaoqin is smart but is misled by her cleverness. This is not her fault, but is due to her personality.
She is a typical egoist. When this kind of person encounters something, she first weighs the pros and cons. Whatever she does must be beneficial, and she will never do anything that is not beneficial.
She put herself in Ye Xiaochuan's perspective to think about her trip to the Sea of Forgetfulness. After much deliberation, Ye Xiaochuan could only give himself a reputation, and it was almost impossible to get any substantial benefits.
What's more, the Gui Xuan Sect has just been integrated for less than half a year, and now it is the most critical moment for the Gui Xuan Sect. If Ye Xiaochuan becomes the big shopkeeper at this time and goes to the dangerous Wangqing Sea to find the Mu Shen's treasure, it will do more harm than good.
.
Therefore, Guan Shaoqin speculated that Ye Xiaochuan was just using this matter to gain fame for himself, and when he had earned enough fame, he would casually make an announcement to the outside world, saying that this matter was completely false.
After all, this rumor did not come from his mouth, but from Baili Yuan, A Chitong and others. He could completely pass the responsibility to these people.
However, some people disagree with this opinion.
Yang Yishuang hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Pavilion Master, regarding the matter of Wangqinghai, Shuang'er feels that it is probably not groundless."
Guan Shaoqin and others all looked at Yang Yishuang.
Although Yang Yishuang is now the senior leader of Piaomiao Pavilion and is known as Su Xiaoyan's successor, Su Xiaoyan and Guan Shaoqin are still alive and very young. Yang Yishuang does not have much real power in Piaomiao Pavilion. Generally, such top executives
She would just sit in on small meetings and rarely speak.
Yang Ling'er said: "Junior Sister Shuang'er, do you think this matter may be true?"
Yang Yishuang nodded gently.
She bit her lip and said: "According to the investigation of our Piaomiao Pavilion disciples, the first people to spread this news were Baili Yuan, Qin Fanzhen, Miss Axiang, Liu Jiao, Sikong Zhaixing, Zhou Wu and other righteous cultivators, as well as
Achitong, Lu Haiya, Qu Xianer and other casual cultivators of the Demon Sect.
These people have one thing in common, they are all survivors of the Battle of the Snowy Mountains ten years ago.
Baili Yuan and others are close friends with Ye Xiaochuan. A Chitong and others have been trying their best to help Wang Keke in the temple recently, and have completely surrendered to Ye Xiaochuan.
As Ye Xiaochuan's good friends through life and death, they know far more secrets about Ye Xiaochuan than other high-level officials of Guixuan Sect.
Some time ago, only Baili Yuan, Lan Qiyun, Zhou Wu, Li Qingfeng, Liujie, Xiaochi and others lived in seclusion in Tiansheng Cave in Qilin Mountain.
However, Sikong Zhaixing, Bao Renhe, Mo Shaolin, He Miao, Zhu Chongsan, Yu Fenghua, Ling Xue, Zhao Sili and others suddenly appeared in Qilin Mountain.
Based on what I know about Ye Xiaochuan and others, Ye Xiaochuan most likely really plans to go to the Sea of Forgetfulness to experience.
The Wangqing Sea is dangerous and unpredictable, and Gui Xuanzong has just established himself in the Western Region, so it is impossible to dispatch many experts to accompany him there.
Ye Xiaochuan could only summon people he trusted to go together.
Baili Yuan, Zhou Wu, Lu Haiya and more than 20 survivors of the Great Snow Mountain War are the best candidates."
Guan Shaoqin, Su Xiaoyan, and Yang Linger looked at each other in confusion.
Guan Shaoqin said: "What Shuang'er said is not unreasonable, but it is just speculation now.
Shuang'er broke out from the underworld with Baili Yuan, Qin Fanzhen, Liujie and others, and has a good relationship with these people.
Shuang'er, why don't you ask these people about the authenticity of this news.
Whether Ye Xiaochuan goes to the Sea of Forgetfulness or not is a big matter and can almost change the current situation in the world.
If he really goes, we have to prepare early."
Yang Yishuang was not willing to use his relationship with Bailiyuan and others to find out Ye Xiaochuan's secrets.
However, now that Guan Shaoqin had spoken, she couldn't refuse.
In addition, the relationship between Bailiyuan and Ye Xiaochuan and others has not changed much. They are still the closest people to Ye Xiaochuan.
And he was excluded from Ye Xiaochuan's circle, which made Yang Yishuang very sad.
She also wanted to take the opportunity to have more contact with Ye Xiaochuan.
Over the years, she could not let go of Ye Xiaochuan in her heart. She dreamed of that man countless times at midnight.
She couldn't accept that Ye Xiaochuan and herself were strangers.
So Yang Yishuang said: "I just came back from Qilin Mountain. Baili Yuan and others should still be in Qilin Mountain. I will return to Qilin Mountain as soon as possible to find out the authenticity of this news."
At night, Mount Sumeru, the mountain behind Ten Thousand Buddhas Peak.
Wordless Cliff.
The tall Ten Thousand Buddhas Peak blocks the moonlight, and the Wuzi Cliff in the back mountain looks a little dim.
When Ye Xiaochuan returned to Wuzi Cliff, he saw Yun Qiyou and Xuan Ying standing in front of the huge statue of Buddha holding flowers. Master Kong Yuan was still sitting on the futon. Monk Jie Kong, who had been standing all day, was also there.
Master Kong Yuan was sitting cross-legged on a futon behind him, meditating.
Ye Xiaochuan's arrival did not attract the attention of the two monks.
Only Yun Qiyou looked back at Ye Xiaochuan.
Ye Xiaochuan didn't say anything, and landed on the lotus platform again, looking towards the wordless cliff to the north.
The three old monks have removed the power of the Buddha, Wuzi Cliff has returned to its former appearance, and the verse of the Sixth Patriarch Huineng has also disappeared.
Ye Xiaochuan sat cross-legged, preparing to take advantage of the two hours when the moon rose above Wuzi Cliff to take a good look at some of the past of Wuzi Cliff.
Push the moon out of the window with both hands.
One stone breaks through the water and the sky.
This should be a clue.
But back then, Fairy Jinghai did not have the hint of these two sentences and still cracked the secret of Wuzi Cliff. It can be seen that there is another way.
Xuanying walked up to Ye Xiaochuan and said: "Xiaochuan, Xiaoyou has told me before that Third Sister gave a reminder. Since you are the destined person recognized by Kasyapa Temple, do you have anything unique about this sentence?"
insights?”
Ye Xiaochuan shook his head and said: "Your father is very eclectic and cannot think about the riddle in front of him with normal people's thinking.
What's more, didn't Fairy Jinghai decipher the secret of Wuzi Cliff with these two hints in the riddle?
I always feel that the layout here and the name of Wuzi Cliff are a bit weird."
Xuan Ying said: "Tell me about it."
Ye Xiaochuan said: "Wuzhi Cliff, Wuzhi Cliff, since it is Wuzhi Cliff, why does the verse left by your father appear on the cliff?
Since there are words on the stone wall, why is it called the wordless cliff?
I don’t think the significance of that verse is very great.
If the method to unlock the secret of Wuzi Cliff was really hidden in the Zen principles contained in the verses, it would have been cracked by Buddhist monks long ago, and it would not have been delayed until now.
There is also this cave Buddha.
This is a half-moon arc-shaped cliff, with the waterfall in the south, the wordless cliff in the north, and the Buddha statue in the east.
The Buddha sits facing east and west, don’t you think it’s strange?”
Xuan Ying said: "The west is the paradise of Buddhism. There should be nothing wrong with the Buddha statue facing the west."
Ye Xiaochuan did not speak, but Yun Qiyou said: "The Buddhist sect in China, whether it is Zen or Tantric, all believe in Sakyamuni Buddha.
Sakyamuni came from Western India, and Buddhism was introduced from the west to the east. The statue of Buddha should be facing left and west, which means that he came from the west and preached to the east.
Generally, the Buddha statues in temples are almost always facing west, with a few facing north and south, and rarely facing east."
Ye Xiaochuan said: "Not only that, it is recorded in the Buddhist classic "Five Lanterns Huiyuan·Seven Buddhas·Sakyamuni Buddha": "Buddha preached while facing the east at the Lingshan meeting, holding flowers and showing them to the crowd. Everyone was silent, except Kasyapa.
His Holiness broke his face and smiled."
This is the allusion of holding flowers and smiling.
The Sakyamuni Buddha in front of us has his fingers in the shape of holding flowers, which is obviously a metaphor for the scene where the Buddha held flowers and preached in Lingshan.
It is clearly recorded in the classics that at that time the Buddha was facing east to preach.
But in the stone sculpture in front of us, the Buddha faces west.
In the allusion of holding a flower and smiling, there is another sentence: The Buddha held a flower to indicate that the three thousand Arhats did not understand the meaning. Only the Venerable Kassapa smiled slightly. At that time, the Buddha said, among the three thousand Arhats, the one who teaches me is Kassapa.
Ye is alone.
This is also the origin of the name of Kasyapa Temple.
It is entirely possible to metaphorize the Buddha's sermon at the Lingshan Mountain to the scene in front of you. The Buddhist scriptures are here, but only one person can decipher the inheritance.
I think the Wordless Cliff is a cover. The real secret is not on the cliff, but on the Buddha statue."
Kong Yuan and Jie Kong below the Buddha statue raised their heads at the same time and looked at the Buddha statue.
The water in the waterfall also stopped flowing, and the three old monks appeared again.
They had been staring at Wuzi Cliff for hundreds of years, and after listening to Ye Xiaochuan's words tonight, they finally took a serious look at the huge Buddha statue in the east for the first time.
Xuan Ying still disagreed and said: "Your analysis just now is not enough to explain that the secret is hidden in the stone statue of Buddha.
Do you have any evidence?"
Ye Xiaochuan said: "There is a lot of evidence. For example, Mount Xumi has been a Zen holy land since ancient times, but your father carved tantric verses on the cliff. This is not normal.
Secondly, as the ghost girl said, she pushed the moon out of the window with both hands and broke the sky in the water with one stone.
The sky is not above, but in the water. This sentence should be understood to mean that everything in front of you is like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water, they are all illusions.
If I guess correctly, the secret of Wuzi Cliff can only be solved after midnight tonight, when the moon rises above Wuzi Cliff, through the reflection in the water."
