Seven years have passed, and many winds and rains have blown away countless dependencies. Thoughts and thoughts dwell in dreams, and it is difficult to sleep in the long night. Only shadows are piled up in melancholy. Autumn water floods the mirror, falling red makeup, green silk snow dances, looking at the road.
The jade tower and the golden tower are surrounded by hundreds of flowers, and the desolate and desolate view fills the eyes. The vertical music strikes the strings and the clouds pass through the sky, and the mountains and rivers respond, breathing and expressing love. The moon frost frightens the armor, and the sound of the dragon roars, and you have to go through all the difficulties, and the flowers are buried and the mist breaks.
On the 16th day of the seventh month, in the octagonal pavilion in the inner courtyard, a woman was playing the harp in the pavilion. As her fingertips rose and fell, a low and sorrowful tune floated slowly.
In a small building not far from the Bajiao Pavilion, Lin Wanzhen, who heard the sound of the piano, opened the small window and looked at Xiao Muyun who was playing the strings in the pavilion with a look of sadness through the light of the stone lamp in the garden.
It's like the sound of people trying to walk under the ice of flowing water, suddenly rising up as it fades away, or like a lone wild goose flying in the wind and rain, with unyielding determination embedded in its whine.
Ma Xilan, who was listening quietly in the small hall, looked at Chu Nanfeng after the sound disappeared, "Listen to the sound, for the sake of freedom... Mu Yun has a death wish. If she is allowed to stay in the palace with Senior Mu tomorrow,
I’m afraid it will make her unable to let go.”
"If we were to fight with Zhiku and Zhiguang, even with her small skills in holding pills, she would not be able to intervene. If she cares about her safety, she would definitely fight to the death. I am afraid that Zhiku and the others would take advantage of them."
"Then I will go with you, so you can be restrained then?"
"It turns out that Xilan also wants to go to Qinglong Mountain..." Chu Nanfeng was stunned, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's ask Uncle He and Wan Zhen to go together tomorrow."
"It's hard to be wise, but I want to eliminate the Buddha's calamity by hiding from the sky. The key is not only to make Xiaoyao immortal and the spiritual tree not to wither..." Mahilan said in a deep voice: "The most important thing is that he has found a substitute in his hand that matches the great luck of the dragon vein.
But if we find this person now and capture him, we can also counter Zhiku..."
"Two masters, Wen Yi and Ming Wu, used their 'clairvoyance' to secretly observe the appearance of all the officials in the court, but none of them had the aura of an emperor."
Mahilan hesitated for a moment, "Could Zhiku have used magical powers to cover up this person's luck?"
Chu Nanfeng shook his head, "Jungui also calculated the birth dates of all the officials in the court with Master Wenyi, and no one's fate has the luck of an emperor."
"Then the person Zhiku is looking for to replace him is not someone in the court?"
"But no matter where the replacement person is, Xiaoyao has already fallen into the hands of Zhiku, but even if he finds this person, he doesn't dare to kill him..."
Mahilan was stunned and thought, "If this person dies, his clever and hard-working plans will not come true. When he becomes angry from shame, he will probably take Xiaoyao's life..."
Chu Nanfeng nodded, "Now we must not only save Xiaoyao, but also take advantage of the opportunity to control Zhiku, so that the Buddha's calamity can be eliminated in accordance with God's will, and the great destiny of the unification of the world will not be destroyed."
Ma Xilan looked at Chu Nanfeng who had a calm expression and a resolute tone, walked in front of him, and held his right hand, "Xilan only hopes to be able to live and die with her husband, so that she will have no regrets in this life. I hope my husband will not let Xilan down."
Heart."
Chu Nanfeng thought it was very painful, but he had the idea of fighting him to the death. Hearing Ma Xilan's words that guessed what he was thinking, he felt a pain in his heart. He stood up and hugged her into his arms.
, "Nanfeng will advance and retreat hand in hand with Madam..."
At noon the next day, Chu Nanfeng, his wife and He Mei brought Xiao Muyun and Lin Wanzhen to Tianmen Peak of Qinglong Mountain.
Mu Daocheng and others did not know what happened during the four days when Chu Nanfeng returned to Beijing. When they learned that Guo Rong was injured and was rescued by Chen Tuan, they were shocked.
Wen Yihe said: "Amitabha, it's good, it's good. Wisdom has hurt the emperor's purpose, and it is to drain the energy of our cultivation. At this time, a Taoist person has to come to the rescue. I think he will
It has made him fearful, and he will no longer use his computer to do unnecessary things in the future."
Mu Daocheng nodded, "But if Xiaoyao's earth soul is stripped away, the emperor's life will be hurt. Zhiku's current move is indeed to consume our energy..."
"Now that Mr. He and Gang Leader Fang are here to assist, we can handle Zhiku and the others at the moment. I have been away from the temple for a long time, but I want to go back to Qingliang Temple. I will come here after the birthday of the Southern Tang Dynasty leader..."
Chu Nanfeng also knew that Li Jing respected Wen Yi very much. Over the years, on his birthday, Wen Yi would be invited to the palace to chant sutras and pray for blessings. As the abbot of a temple with many disciples, Wen Yi also had to attend to matters.
He dealt with it. But thinking that he had been away from the temple for half a year, he should go back to the temple. Hearing this, he nodded and said: "Master Mingwu is here, so there will be no mistakes. The abbot can be at ease and arrange the affairs properly before coming back."
Mu Daocheng continued: "I am returning to Kaifeng with Master Fang, and I can go with Master Fang for a while."
Wen Yi nodded, and together with Mu Daocheng and Fang Yuan, they said goodbye to Chu Nanfeng and others and left Qinglong Mountain. When they arrived at Xinzheng County, they separated from Mu Daocheng and Fang Yuan and headed south to Jiangning.
Mansion.
At around nine o'clock on the second day, Wen Yi was about to walk to the foot of Qingliang Mountain when he felt a gust of breeze blowing behind him, which made his pores shiver and his heart tremble.
An old monk appeared in front of him, but it was Zhiku.
"Amitabha, the old monk Zhiku has met the abbot master..."
Wen Yi sighed in his heart, and He Shi said: "Master is coming here. I think he has a plan for a long time, right?"
"The old monk has the intention to reunite with the abbot master again, but not at this time. It's just that when he returned to Qinglong Mountain, he didn't see the master and Leng Dao walking together, but he thought it would be a while, so he came to follow
.”
"Then why didn't you show up until you arrived at Qingliang Mountain?"
"Amitabha, the old monk should not let Master Abbot's golden body be abandoned in the wild..."
The underlying intention was to take Wen Yi's life, but Wen Yi knew he was not good at it. Hearing this, he struck out with a palm and retreated quickly.
As Zhiku moved forward, his right hand moved, and the sleeve of his robe flew up towards Wen Yi's right palm like a waterfall. It reached two feet away from the palm of Wen Yi's right hand, and then rolled up towards Wen Yi's arm like a snake.
Wen Yi's cultivation level was far different from that of Zhi Ku, and he knew that he was no match for him. When he released his palm, his Qi moved up and down, and his palm force was three strong and seven soft, hoping to use the force to retreat. Unexpectedly, Zhi Ku's Qi was also the same.
It was hard at first and then soft, but the sleeves of the robe were rolled back. In a hurry, he paused, retracted his right palm, and slapped out with his left palm.
But when his left palm hit the sleeve of the robe, the sleeve was pulled back in vain, a fist roar sounded, Zhiku's left fist suddenly came out, and a blast of energy struck Wen Yi's left wrist.
Wen Yi turned his palm back to grab Zhiku's wrist, but Zhiku shook his fist, and a soul-stirring Gang Qi surged out from his fist, but penetrated through his palm. Wen Yi was shocked.
Down, he closed his palms and retreated quickly. Zhiku's body moved, but his fist power did not decrease, and he continued to drive straight in. As Wen Yi retreated, his body struck directly at his chest.
Wen Yi was compassionate and did not pay much attention to martial arts. He wanted to enter the Tao through Zen, but he also allowed him to understand the Buddhist "Zen Forgetting Magic" in Zen. It can make the soul leave the body in an instant, and the remaining physical body can also
Water and fire are invulnerable, but now I can see the fist of Zhi Ku coming like a shadow, but I know something is wrong, and with a thought, the spirit of the soul leaves the body.
Zhikuxin felt something. He moved his right hand and flicked his robe sleeve, but it was rolled towards Wen Yi's body, which was blown backwards by the strong energy.
But at this moment, a strong wind in mid-air struck Zhiku head-on. Zhiku paused for a moment, let out a light drink, and his soul came out of his body to greet him. When a sound like tearing silk cloth was heard, Wen Yihun
When a god returns to his body, he closes his body and retreats five feet away.
"Master Abbot's magical power has been cultivated to a great extent, but it is a pity that it has not reached perfection. Even if the soul and spirit can escape, the physical body has nowhere to escape. But if the old monk takes away the master's physical body, after seven or seven days,
Master, your practice in this life will be completely ruined."
There is a saying in Buddhism that "there is no leakage after a long journey". Wen Yi can make the soul and spirit leave the body instantly, which is to enter the seventh realm of consciousness: the far journey. But it is necessary to reach the realm of unity between heaven and man and enter the eighth realm of consciousness.
: Only by moving without moving can the inherent 'my body and law body' be cut off. Therefore, the soul, soul, and spirit are still bound by the physical body.
But if the soul cannot return to the body within forty-nine days, in the future, it will be necessary to use the technique of seizing the body to keep the soul alive. Wen Yi just returned to the body quickly after the soul and spirit left the body and attacked Zhiku.
It is the fear that the physical body will take away wisdom and suffering.
Zhiku glanced at the mountain road behind Wen Yi and smiled slightly, "This place is still six miles away from Guibao Temple. The old monk will give the master another ride..."
As he spoke, his body suddenly moved, and a punch came out quickly. The punch was like a huge wave in the sea, sweeping towards Wen Yi.
Before Zhiku finished speaking, Wen Yi had already pulled away and retreated. At the same time, the soul god left the body and carried the body ten feet away among the lightning and flint stones. At this time, a fist suddenly struck out two feet away from the soul god.
Wen Yi's soul was startled and stagnated, and Zhiku's fist followed him. A fist was like a giant net, wrapping his soul and body at the same time in an instant.
Zhiku was deceitful, but he knew that Wen Yihun's spirit could reach hundreds of feet in an instant. When he was talking to him, he secretly used the 'Luo Jie Tong' to cover up his soul and attack quietly. But Wen Yi was afraid that his body would be taken away, so he ran away with his body.
However, because he was a step too late, he was eventually trapped by the Zhiku Gang Qi.
As Zhiku's Gangqi slowly shrank, Wen Yi's soul was finally forced into his body, but when his soul and body were united, his heart hurt, his throat felt hot, and blood spurted out.
"Master Abbot is a great and eminent monk in our Buddhist sect. I don't dare to cause Master to lose consciousness. There are still thirty-seven days left, and Master Abbot can make arrangements for the funeral." Zhiku looked at Wen Yi, who was pale, and said,
He bowed and said, "Amitabha, it's my fault, it's my fault. The old monk bids farewell."
****
On the eighth day of April in the sixth year of Xian De's reign, two figures were walking towards the top of Qingtianmen Peak. They were Guanshi Pei and Sikong Ran.
But seeing the arrival of the two men, Chu Nanfeng and Mu Daocheng on the top of the mountain were very surprised. After seeing the ceremony, Sikong Ran said anxiously: "Mr. Chu, I think the young master is not in this mountain...
"
Chu Nanfeng was stunned for a moment, and after looking at each other with Mu Daocheng, he said, "How do you say this?"
"Three days ago, I met the young master at the inn outside Dizhou City. He was traveling with an old monk, but I guess the monk was the evil monk who hurt the pavilion master..."
"What?" Mu Daocheng's pupils suddenly opened, "Sikong Guanshi can clearly see that he is not someone else's disguise?"
"You must be the young master." Sikong Ran shook his head and took out a bronze medal from his arms, "This is the 'treasure' plate, a special token for the young master..."
But when he saw the sign with the word "宝", Chu Nanfeng's heart sank, and he had already concluded that what Sikong Ran saw was Luo Xiaoyao.
"Since Tongbao Pavilion was disbanded, Lao Chen was transferred from Youzhou to Dizhou and was responsible for the management of two inns inside and outside Dizhou City. In the middle of every month, Lao Chen would go to the inn outside the city to check the accounts."
"Three days ago, it rained heavily. The old man had to stay at an inn outside the city. At that time, he was invited by the inn's manager Zhang and started to drink wine in the front hall. After half a stick of incense, a carriage arrived.
I rushed to the door, and two people walked in, the young master and an old monk..."
"Did Xiaoyao see Manager Sikong?" Mu Daocheng asked anxiously.
"The young master saw the old man. He didn't expect that the old man would appear in that inn. After his eyes glanced over, there was a hint of surprise..."
"What does the old monk look like?" Mu Daocheng asked.
"The old monk has white eyebrows and beard. He is about eighty years old. He has a skinny figure. His eyes seem ordinary, but he also has a sense of inscrutability..."
Mu Daocheng was surprised for a moment and looked at Chu Nanfeng, "Zhiguang's eyes are fierce, could it be that he is Zhiku?"
"It should be him..." Chu Nanfeng nodded slightly, turned to Sikong Ran and said, "What happened next?"
"The old man also knew that the young master was kidnapped. When he saw that the young master had no martial arts skills and did not say hello to the old man, the old man guessed that the monk was the evil monk who hurt the pavilion master. But he knew that he had a deep cultivation level.
Unpredictable, I was afraid that he would see the old man’s shocked expression, so the old man made a drinking order with Deacon Zhang..."
"After the young master and the evil monk checked into the guest room, the old man thought that the young master was smart and would lead the evil monk to speak and leave clues, so he asked the shop assistant who greeted him to pay attention..."
"I think the evil monk restrained the young master's mute point, but the store clerk never heard the conversation between the young master and him. I just thought that if someone eavesdropped in the guest room where they lived, they would definitely be the evil monk.
I feel like there is nothing I can do for a while.”
"The deacon Zhang didn't know the young master. When he saw the old man instructing the store clerk to pay attention to the young master and the evil monk, he was surprised and asked the old man for the reason."
"The old man took him into the secret room of the inn and told him frankly. Deacon Zhang suggested that he first find the driver of the carriage to find out where the young master was, and then find a countermeasure. The old man knew that what Deacon Zhang said was reasonable, so he asked the driver to find out the whereabouts of the young master.
Know their whereabouts..."
"Where are they going?"
"Binzhou. After the old man found out where he was going, he asked Deacon Zhang to take the arrow guards and rush to Binzhou overnight, and cooperated with the Binzhou management to arrange personnel to investigate and follow."
"At nine o'clock the next day, after the evil monk took the young master away, the old man guessed that the young master might have left clues, so he went to their resting room to check. It was in the wooden basin where the young master was washing his face that he found the young master's
Bao' brand..."
Mu Daocheng frowned, "After Xiaoyao and Guanshi met, there was no need to use the calligraphy plate to remind him that he had fallen into Zhiku's hands. Putting the calligraphy plate in the basin should have a purpose..."
"At that time, I was also surprised and confused. I didn't know what the young master meant. But at the end of the night, I understood the young master's intention."
"What's the purpose?"
"The evil monk took the young master out to sea..."
"Oh?!" Mu Daocheng was shocked, "Zhiku took Xiaoyao out of the sea?"
"I didn't dare to follow him at that time. I wanted to rush over immediately to report Mr. Chu, but I thought that Dizhou and Binzhou were not far apart, so I stayed at the inn and waited for news about Deacon Zhang. At that time, Deacon Zhang rushed back from Binzhou.
I informed the evil monk that he was going to take the young master to Japan by boat..."
"Going to Japan? How did Deacon Zhang find out?"
"The evil monk and the young master left Dizhou and arrived at Binzhou at noon that day. As soon as they arrived in Binzhou, they found a boatman who was doing business with the Japanese country in the city. At Youshi, the evil monk took the young master and left with the boatman.
Come to Binzhou."
"There is a lot of care in sailing a ship. Once the time is set, it rarely changes. In order to confirm whether the evil monk really took the young master out to sea, Deacon Zhang sent his arrow guards to rush to the seaside. At the same time, he rushed back to Dizhou to inform the old man about this...
"
"Then the Arrow Guard who went to the beach to inquire confirmed that Xiaoyao went to sea on a boat?"
"The old man was worried that the boatman might not set sail immediately, and for fear of missing something important, he did not dare to wait for the news from the Arrow Guards, so he rushed to tell Mr. Chu. But he also ordered Deacon Zhang to immediately report the news.
Fei Ge sent a letter to Kaifeng to inform..."
After Chu Nanfeng heard this, he said silently for a moment, then looked at Sikong Ran, "Then, the two stewards will rush back to Kaifeng to wait for the news. Chu will go there immediately after making arrangements."
Manager Pei and Sikong Ran knew that Chu Nanfeng had important matters to discuss with Mu Daocheng and they were not allowed to listen in. When they heard the words, they looked at each other, bowed and left.
Looking at the two people leaving, Mu Daocheng said: "What do you think, eldest brother, of Zhiku's move?"
Chu Nanfeng looked at the lush forests and mountains surrounded by peaks, pondered for a moment, and said: "Zhiku took Xiaoyao to the Japanese country with only one purpose, which is to strip away the soul of Xiaoyao in the Japanese country, so that we can't
Help..."
"Who can do that when the calamity is dispersed, causing resentment to be introduced into the earth's veins, and protecting the spiritual trees? Can Zhiguang also do it?"
"Mr. Li said that day, to protect the spiritual tree and introduce the resentment into the earth's veins, you can use the 'Yi Di Golden Jue'." Chu Nanfeng muttered: "The 'Yi Qi Golden Jue' is not martial arts, it's Zhi Guang Hua Shang.
After some time, you can study it and know it..."
"But if this is the case, once the calamity is dissipated, the Dragon Vein Spirit Cave will appear. Although Abbot Wenyi has passed away, we can still find out where it is. Zhiguang alone will have to spend time to act. How will we prevent us from finding him?
?" Mu Daocheng asked doubtfully.
"Junior Brother Jiang once said that the Dragon Vein Crypt was in a deep cave in the belly of the mountain, but now the Zhiguang began to block the cave. It took us three to five hours to find the Broken Flower, but by that time the Zhiguang had already been used."
The Golden Jue of Yiqi's success..."
"And I can't figure out how to set up the formation of the 'Yi Qi Golden Jue', but I don't know how to break it... Xiaoyao is not in the spiritual cave, so even if I kill Zhiguang, it won't help."
"The land in China is so vast that it takes wisdom and pains to endure it. But if you want to hide it, it will be difficult for us to find it. Why does he need to take Xiaoyao to the Japanese country?" Mu Daocheng caressed his long beard and asked doubtfully: "But I'm afraid he is the one who lured the tiger away from the mountain.
count……"
"Mr. Baiyun rescued the emperor that day. Zhiku must have been jealous. If he really took Xiaoyao to the Japanese country, he must have been afraid that Taoists would find Xiaoyao."
Mu Daocheng was shocked and doubtful, and then heard Chu Nanfeng say: "But Taoists like Mr. Baiyun, Taoist Master Tan, Wu Huizi and others are willing to help. I don't think he will be able to hide his body despite his wisdom. And once Xiaoyao is restored, he will be
The stripped soul of the earth and the dissipated resentment were reunited to become the Tao..."
After a pause of words, Chu Nanfeng shook his head and sighed softly, "Even if the emperor makes a mistake, the will of heaven will bring a new emperor into the world."
"Brother, are you saying that when the calamity path is reunited, it will break through the formation protected by the 'Golden Art of Changing Qi' and make the heavenly path realize that you have lost your dignity?"
"The dispersion of the calamity path causes fluctuations in the earth's energy, which can be used to break away the formation that Zhiku used to use his 'Leaking Tong' magical power to cover the spiritual acupoint. Once gathered together to form a path, it will also destroy the formation that protects the spiritual tree from drying up."
Break open..."
"Then what does the big brother plan to do?"
"Senior said that intellectual suffering is caused by deeds to drive the tiger away from the mountain. This consideration must be guarded against. The junior wants to take Mu Yun to Xuankong Temple. Master Xunwu Zhen can use the 'Fate Path' to determine the exact location of Xiaoyao..."
The "Fate-Tong" magical power can be used to determine the matter through the thoughts of the person asking the question. Xiao Muyun and Luo Xiaoyao are in love and have a close relationship. However, with the "Fate-Tong" magical power, it is through Xiao Muyun's thoughts that Luo Xiaoyao's approximate location can be determined.
.
"Perhaps because Wu Zhen knew about the Buddha's calamity, he was unwilling to help. Why didn't he ask Master Jue for help?" Mu Daocheng asked doubtfully.
"I don't think anyone knows how Zhiku behaves. Wu Zhenyin lives in Xuankong Temple and lives alone, so he probably doesn't know about our involvement in the Buddha's calamity. He only brought Mu Yun there to ask questions and find people, but he thought
He will take action." Chu Nanfeng muttered: "Xiaoyao and Muyun had dealings with Yan Zhongchang the year before last. Master Liaojue must have known about our involvement in the Buddha's Tribulation, but the juniors were afraid that he would embarrass him..."
Mu Daocheng thought that what Chu Nanfeng said was not unreasonable, so he nodded and said: "If you go to the Japanese country to break up Xiaoyao, how will you deal with it..."
"This junior will go to the army to take charge of Shangfang, but if it is found that Xiaoyao was really taken to the Japanese country, he will take the chief of Shangfang with him."
Guo Rong then led his troops to the north, but Chu Nanfeng knew that the Khitan army had many good soldiers. Since he was unable to do anything else, he sent He Mei and Fang Changsheng, and Fang Yuan and the others protected Guo Rong.
Chu Nanfeng paused for a moment, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Senior and Master Mingwu are guarding here. Even if Zhiguang takes away time and succeeds in his plot, as long as the location of the spiritual cave is found, Senior and Master will work together to restrain him.
Stay here until you find freedom, and then all their efforts will be wasted."
"Zhiku is very skilled, but I'm still worried because Chief Fang is responding from the side." Mu Daocheng frowned slightly and shook his head, "Xingkong has also entered the realm of great achievements. This time
Yunzhou can ask him to accompany him."
Ma Xingkong has already reached the level of attaining the ultimate level of elixir cultivation. Mu Daocheng was worried that Chu Nanfeng and Fang Yuan would join forces not to be Zhiku's enemies, but to want Ma Xingkong to accompany him and help him.
Chu Nanfeng didn't dare to trust him, so he nodded when he heard this, "According to the senior's arrangement, after the junior finds out Xiaoyao's whereabouts, he will go to Mingyue Villa and invite Mr. Ma to accompany him to help."
Mu Daocheng felt relieved, "That matter should not be delayed. Big brother, let's take Mu Yun to Xuankong Temple..."
Ten days later, Xiao Muyun and Lin Wanzhen, who went to Xuankong Temple with Chu Nanfeng, returned to Qinglong Mountain.
But when Chu Nanfeng didn't come back, Mu Daocheng was shocked. He looked at Xiao Muyun who looked sad and said, "Master Wu Zhen has found out Xiaoyao's whereabouts? Where is your master's wife?"
"Master concluded that senior brother is on the vast sea," Xiao Muyun's eyes flashed with tears as he spoke, "Master must go to the Japanese country with master... let the disciple come back and inform master..."
Mu Daocheng secretly guessed that Xiao Muyun also wanted to go to sea with Chu Nanfeng. Hearing this, he sighed, "Now I am sure that Zhiku will take Xiaoyao to the Japanese country, but when the spiritual cave is found, the master and Mingwu
After the master restrains Zhiguang, he will take you to the Japanese country to help your master rescue Xiaoyao..."
"Master..." Xiao Muyun felt sad for a moment, but he hugged Mu Daocheng and cried bitterly.
