Chu Nanfeng thought about the heartache of Mahilan's fratricide, the sadness of his drastic change in appearance, and the pain that he could only see but could not see, all of which were unbearable. Feeling the pain that Mahilan had suffered in the past ten years, he held the letter sadly.
Sad.
After a long time, Fang Zi came back to his senses, put the letter in his hand on the desk beside him, and took out the last piece of letter from the envelope. He saw blood stains on the letter, and he couldn't help but feel shocked. In surprise and suspicion, he opened the letter and saw stains on it.
Among the bloodstains, open your eyes and take a closer look:
Xilan was lucky enough to be born into an emperor's family. She was not lucky enough to have rich clothes and food, but she was lucky enough to be taught by famous teachers and Confucian scholars, learn literature and practice martial arts. She understood the burdens of fame and fortune, and knew her true heart. What's more, she was lucky enough to meet Chu Lang Nanfeng.
When they knew and admired each other and wanted to form a good relationship, unexpected changes occurred in the palace, and the roommate got into a fight, resulting in him being seriously injured and dying. He was saved by Master Xuanyin and managed to survive, but he was still in his sixties in his prime.
Xilan knew in her heart that Nanfeng's love was long-term and true, but she was ashamed of herself and never dared to confront her. Xilan drew his sword in anger, which pleased my heart. I was so happy that I was embarrassed that we were so far away, and I missed her lovesickly, but I wanted to die to eliminate the pain.
I also received help and enlightenment from my master, and I realized that the true love is burning, and it is not the way to go from morning to night. The white clouds and bright moon are like my eyes, which can comfort my heart.
Thanks to the great kindness of his master, he continued to regain his true energy when he passed away, and had to live for a few more years. Xilan did not dare to betray his great kindness, so he continued to remember the time of survival and prayed for peace in the south wind. However, his soul power has been exhausted recently.
The deadline is approaching, so I am sending a letter to the south wind, hoping that I will have no regrets.
Wow, how can nature be like this? With Xilan's useless body, my teacher Yigong drove to the west and Xilan died.
After writing this, there was no more writing behind it. Looking at this blood-stained letter that looked like a sacrificial inscription, Chu Nanfeng was struck by thunder, but he felt that his vision was illusive. His Adam's apple became hot as his blood boiled, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Unable to stand, he stumbled forward with both feet, holding on to the long case just in time to prevent him from falling. However, he also knocked the round pier over, making a rolling sound.
But I heard a sound of "Eh" outside the wooden house, and then a female voice yelled, "Who is that?" It turned out that the nuns in the nunnery had finished chanting sutras and chanting Buddha's name, and just went to the backyard to rest, but they heard a sound in the wooden house, the abbot Su Rushi Taibian
Exit the question.
But seeing no one reacting in the room, all the nuns looked at each other. Master Suru frowned slightly and said suspiciously: "It should be the sound of the round mound rolling... Miaojing, go and have a look." Although it was not late at night, the nunnery was still busy.
It was quiet in the middle, and the sound of the round pier overturning and rolling was extremely clear, not to mention that Master Su Ru had also achieved a small level of spiritual consciousness.
Miaojing stepped forward and was about to reach out to push the door open, but she heard a "squeak" sound and the wooden door opened. She couldn't help but take a step back. She saw a middle-aged man in a green robe with blood on his mouth walking out.
, Miaojing was stunned and asked: "Who is the donor? Why is he in the house of Master Chu?"
But when she saw Chu Nanfeng walking forward in a daze, as if she hadn't heard her question, Miao Jing grabbed Chu Nanfeng's shoulder. Before her right hand touched the robe, she felt a huge force coming from her.
, couldn't help but fall back, couldn't hold back while dancing with her hands, and fell next to the bamboo forest. Miaojing was only a solid cultivation base, but in Chu Nanfeng's subconscious self-protection, she was knocked to the ground.
All the nuns standing in front of the tile-roofed house were shocked. Abbot Su Ru saw that Chu Nanfeng had not moved, but Miao Jing was so shocked that she fell on her back. He knew that he had encountered a master, but he thought that in this important place of Buddhism, people were not allowed to come and go at will.
Besides, she was still a nun, so her face darkened, and she was about to hold out her hands to stop him, but she heard Miao Hui beside her say: "Master, he... he is the benefactor that Wen Xiang said..."
"Oh?" Master Suru paused, looked at Chu Nanfeng who had already walked to the wall of the Buddhist hall, and said: "This donor, please stay..."
Chu Nanfeng was heartbroken with grief at this time. He could tell from Ma Xilan's handwriting that Yi Wuwei had passed away. Yi Wuwei's kind smile appeared in his mind. He recalled every moment of getting along with Yi Wuwei in the past, and two lines of hot tears rolled down his face.
, it was as if the words of Su Ru and others had not been heard.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Su Ru frowned, strode towards Chu Nanfeng's back, and said: "Donor, please stay." At the same time, she also stretched out her hand to grab Chu Nanfeng's right shoulder, but she only used 70% of her strength.
Chu Nanfeng felt a strong gust of wind coming from behind him. Without looking back, he crossed the courtyard wall like lightning and disappeared from sight.
Master Suru, who was holding the air with one hand, stood stunned. She also knew that her martial arts was far inferior to that of Chu Nanfeng. After a long while, she finally said: "It's a sin, it's a sin, Namo Amitabha."
Xu Wenxiang, who had just arrived at the pavilion outside the bamboo forest, was shocked when she saw Chu Nanfeng walking out of the bamboo forest path with blood on the corner of his mouth and a dazed expression. He hurriedly stepped forward and said in a shocked voice: "My benefactor...it's the master and the others...
..." She thought that Chu Nanfeng was hurt by the nuns in the "Xiangu Nunnery".
Chu Nanfeng shook his head and said with a sad smile: "It's none of their business...Have you ever found Old Man Yang?"
"Junior has found him and is waiting at the east island."
"Okay." Chu Nanfeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand: "Then let him sail to Moforget Island."
Xu Wenxiang glanced at Chu Nanfeng, who still had tears on his face, but knew that the man was bleeding and not shedding tears. He thought it was because his benefactor was extremely heartbroken, but his heart was touched, but he took Chu Nanfeng to the island with tears in his eyes.
And go.
Under the moonlight, there were two small boats parked on the shore of the island. An old man over sixty years old was standing on the bow of one of them. When he saw Chu Nanfeng and Xu Wenxiang arriving, the old man said to Xu Wenxiang: "Girl of the Xu family
, can you leave?"
Xu Wenxiang nodded and said, "That's enough. Please lead Uncle Yang to lead the way." After saying that, he and Chu Nanfeng jumped onto their fishing boat, picked up the long pole and rowed in the water, following Old Yang's boat.
At this time, the moonlight was bright, reflecting the sparkling waves on the lake. Sometimes fish jumped on the lake in the night, making a "plop" sound, and the water splashed with ripples. Following Old Man Yang's boat, it meandered through various shapes.
In a different lake island, for a long time, old man Yang, who was guiding the boat, slowed down the boat, pointed to the island with trees not far away, and said: "Girl of the Xu family, old man, I sent your master to this island during the day.
"
Xu Wenxiang glanced at Chu Nanfeng, and when he saw Chu Nanfeng nodding, he said to Old Man Yang: "Okay, Uncle Yang can go back first." As he spoke, he took out a bunch of copper coins from his waist and handed them to the man who was sailing alongside the boat.
Old Man Yang: "Thank you very much, Uncle Yang." Old Man Yang did not show any courtesy, accepted the copper coins, turned around and sailed away.
After half a cup of tea, Xu Wenxiang docked the boat at the island and met Chu Nanfeng on Mo Forget Island. It was thought that few people came to this island and there was no way to get to the island. There were overgrown weeds under the towering trees, and Chu
The south wind carried Xu Wenxiang through the forest. Occasionally, a startled night bird would fly up with a "whoosh, whoosh" and make a short chirping sound.
The two walked for a while and passed through the woods. They saw an open land in front of them, planted with exotic flowers and rare herbs. There was a wooden house built near the woods in the south. Chu Nanfeng was filled with thoughts and looked at the wooden house more than ten feet away for a long time.
, but did not go towards the wooden house. With his cultivation level, he noticed that the wooden house was empty.
Looking around, he saw what seemed to be a small open space among the flowers about ten feet to the north. He hesitated for a moment and slowly stepped forward, but saw a pile of loess arched in the open space. In front of the mound, there was a stone tablet to the south. Chu Nan
Feng thought of what Ma Xilan had written: "Tired, my mentor Yi Gong drove to the west", and he felt something bad in his heart. He turned to the monument with difficulty, but when he saw the words engraved on the monument, his feet went weak and he knelt down with a "thump".
On the ground, with trembling lips, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he murmured: "Teacher..." Hot tears burst out.
"My benefactor..." Xu Wenxiang was shocked when he saw this. He raised his eyes and looked at the stone tablet. He saw the words "Tomb of my mentor Wuwei Yi Gong" engraved on it. Next to it was "Disciple Chu Nanfeng, Ma Xilan wept his blood and accepted the stone." Xu Wenxiang vaguely recognized it.
Guessing the identity of the person in the tomb, or perhaps his master, he couldn't help but cry and kneel to the ground.
At this time, a clear and sad flute sound came from the north. Chu Nanfeng was shocked. He kowtowed three times to Yi Wuwei's tombstone, then stood up and flew towards the place where the flute sound came from.
.
Passing through the woods to the north, I saw a little more than twenty feet away, on a two-foot-high island facing the lake. Standing on it was a white-haired woman in green clothes, playing a flute against the lake in the moonlight.
At first, the sound is like the shadow of a solitary wild goose, circling and mourning, like singing and weeping; and like fluttering its wings and flying in the thunderstorm, it is tragic and regretful; the sad and unyielding sound of the flute actually leads the night birds in the forest to leave their nests and fly away.
, whirling in the sky above the woman and whispering.
Chu Nanfeng slowly approached, and when he stopped five feet away from the rock, with a thought, he had already detected the cultivation energy of the woman on the island rock, which was common to those who were practicing the "Tai Su Heart Sutra", and he was suddenly sure
The person in front of him was Mahilan, whom he had longed for for seventeen years, and his heart suddenly felt mixed with joy and sorrow.
The sound of the flute passed away slowly, but the woman stood silently facing the wind. After a long time, she sighed and whispered:
"A Thousand Islands are only shadows and lonely. The past is covered with tears. The moon shines brightly and our thoughts gather together. In the ripples, there is a sad place.
The flowers are withering and blooming on the road. The most unbearable thing is that there are wisps of morning and evening. The swans have also gone to the northwest, but they don’t dare to love me. I send you a complaint... Chu Lang... Nanfeng..."
Chu Nanfeng shed tears quietly, and called out in grief: "Lu Yi..."
When the woman heard the word "Lv Yi", she couldn't help but reply: "South Wind..." As if she noticed something, she suddenly shook her body and looked back, only to see a person standing in front of her, with an elegant and handsome face.
A pair of eyes filled with tears looked at him, but he was the person he had never forgotten in his heart.
This woman was none other than Mahilan. She froze for a moment as if she was in a dream. She rubbed her eyes with her hands. Suddenly she covered her face and let out a cry of sorrow. She squatted down, picked up the curtain hat placed on the rock, turned around and jumped to the bottom of the rock. But she felt
His right arm tightened, and his body was hugged by Chu Nanfeng. He only heard a soft voice in his ears: "No matter what you become, as long as you are alive, we cannot be separated..."
At that moment, Ma Xilan's heart warmed up, and the pain of seventeen years was mixed with hot tears, and she cried bitterly while hugging Chu Nanfeng. Not far away, Xu Wenxiang, who was following her, had tears rolling down her face, turned around and ran towards the wooden house in the forest crying.
go.
After a long time, Mahilan stopped crying and finally said: "My mentor..."
Chu Nanfeng patted her back and said softly: "I know, I just hope you don't let down your mentor's hard work."
Chu Nanfeng recalled that Mu Daocheng had told Master Jue's assertion that "there are immortal shadows in thousands of mountains and rivers, and they disappear in the twelve springs and autumns." He already guessed that Master Yi Wuwei spent all his cultivation to save Ma Xilan's life.
Ma Xilan gently left Chu Nanfeng's arms and looked up at Chu Nanfeng. She just saw the blood on his mouth. She knew that Chu Nanfeng must have seen Yi Wuwei's burial place and was heartbroken and vomited blood, so she reached out to wipe it away. When there was blood, tears started to flow again.
Chu Nanfeng held up Ma Xilan's once beautiful and elegant face but was now old and haggard. He felt pity in his heart and said softly: "Master, his sacrifice is just for us to meet today..."
Ma Xilan nodded, raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes, pulled Chu Nanfeng to sit on the rock, and told Chu Nanfeng about the past.
After Ma Xilan returned to the mansion, she realized that her skills were fading. Knowing that something was wrong, she ordered her personal maid to rush to the Tongbao Pavilion branch to try to inform Chu Nanfeng. Shortly after the maid left, more than 20 masked assassins broke in. In the palace, he fought desperately to break out of the siege. When he escaped from the palace and fled to a lake in the city, he fainted. When he woke up, he found himself on Dragon King Island in Fairy Lake.
It turns out that when Xiangu Nunnery became the abbot, Master Xuanyin happened to travel to Changsha County. She found Ma Xilan who had fainted by the lake, so she came to the rescue. However, she was poisoned by the "Qian Ji Powder", which eroded the seven souls within twelve hours, making her popular. He will die from exhaustion. At the same time, as his essence, energy and blood disappear, his appearance will also age.
Master Xuanyin practices Buddhist techniques and has reached the level of the mountain of spiritual thoughts. However, when he saw a person who looked like a flower and jade, he aged rapidly within a few hours. He guessed that he had been poisoned by a poison that damaged his qi. Only pure essence can protect Mahilan's life.
If he were an ordinary person, he would definitely be reluctant to waste his energy in hard work to save Mahilan. However, Master Xuanyin has understood the true meaning of Buddhism, has a heart to do good in the world, and attaches great importance to fate, so she cannot bear to see Mahilan here. He died in front of his eyes, and it took more than ten years of cultivation to protect Mahilan's life, but it also caused his cultivation to fall to the valley level.
Master Xuanyin didn't know that Ma Xilan had learned the "Taichu Heart Sutra" taught by Chu Nanfeng and the "Taisu Heart Sutra" from his master, which allowed the seven souls and the five elements to grow together. If not, with the poison of "Qianji Powder", I'm afraid that no matter how much she cultivates her true energy, she won't be able to do anything.
After Ma Xilan woke up, she found that not only had she lost all her martial arts skills, but she was also gray-haired and senile. She was heartbroken and felt that life would be worse than death. However, she was unwilling to take revenge and shed tears every day.
Later, I heard Master Xuanyin, who had returned from traveling, recount the rumors in the world. After learning that Chu Nanfeng had killed the Wushan Sword Sect, I was relieved, but also determined to die. I wanted to leave a letter to Chu Nanfeng to tell Chu Nanfeng the reason. But fearing that it would hurt Chu Nanfeng's heart even more, he stopped writing halfway through writing. This letter was the first letter Chu Nanfeng saw when he sneaked into "Xiangu Nunnery".
One day, when the nuns in the nunnery were unprepared, Mahilan threw himself into a lake. However, he was saved by Master Xuanyin who was careful. After hearing Master Xuanyin's rebuke and consolation, Mahilan wanted to convert to Buddhism. Xuanyin However, the teacher's wife believed that her fate in this world was not over, so she used the wishes and sorrows in Tao Yuanming's "Xianqing Fu" to enlighten the troubled Ma Xilan, and finally made her express her feelings and longing for her.
Nine years after rescuing Ma Xilan, when Master Xuanyin passed away, she gave the rest of her life's cultivation energy to Ma Xilan, so that Mahilan's life, which was also short of time, could be continued. One day three years later, Ma Xilan gradually felt exhausted and thought that she would die soon, so she wrote a second letter and dragged her exhausted body to the Tongbao Pavilion in Yuanzhou, hoping to send the letter to Chu Nanfeng. Unexpectedly, But he fainted on the way.
The so-called life should not be cut off, nothing better than this. When Mahilan's life was hanging by a thread, she met Yi Wuwei who traveled across thousands of mountains and rivers to find her. In fact, Yi Wuwei got the conclusion from the enlightenment that "Thousands of mountains and rivers have their own destiny."
The shadow of the immortal disappears in the twelve springs and autumns. It attracts the primordial energy to be reborn, and then walks on the forty dusts of the mortal world." When Mu Daocheng was speaking to Chu Nanfeng in Mingyue Villa, Chu Nanfeng was excited before he finished speaking.
interrupt.
Yi Wuwei heard the mystery from Liao Jue's assertion, and thought that the Taichu mentioned in this assertion should be the "Taichu Heart Sutra" that he had practiced. He thought that if he could find Mahilan within twelve years, he could save her.
He is destined to be an eminent monk who has attained enlightenment. If he had no chance to find Mahilan, he would definitely not say the second half of his assertion.
So he changed the assertion to "Wandering in the sky, there is a home, and the deepest love is in the heart. There are immortal shadows in thousands of mountains and lakes, and the white head is reflected in the sunset." This reminded Chu Nanfeng that Mahilan is still alive in the world.
When he left Mingyue Villa, he deliberately left a message to Mu Daocheng that he would definitely return to the academy within three years, so he knew that the master's assertion was credible.
After Yi Wuwei traveled all over the mountains in search of no results, he finally thought of the island in the lake. When he was heading from Yuanzhou to Xinyu Fairy Lake that day, he happened to meet Ma Xilan who had fainted on the roadside.
With a cultivation level in the Dacheng realm, it is easy to detect the qi of people within a hundred feet. They found that the woman wearing a headdress and a hat who fainted on the roadside had a trace of the qi of the "Taizhu Heart Sutra" in her body.
Surprised, he lifted up his hat and veil, and saw the shadow of Ma Xilan vaguely in the outline of his old face. He couldn't help but sigh, which also made him shed tears. He treated Chu Nanfeng as if he were his own child, and he loved Ma Xilan very much.
But seeing her situation now, I understand her pain.
After delivering the true energy to revive Mahilan, he took Mahilan, who seemed like a stranger from another world, to Dragon King Island. He then went to find an uninhabited island in the archipelago, built a wooden house, and lived there, which is now Moforget Island.
After that, he went to Xiangu Nunnery every day to take Ma Xilan to Moforget Island, and used the "Taichu Heart Sutra" technique to heal Ma Xilan's damaged seven souls.
"The exercise has the wonderful effect of "no Qi generates Qi", and finally restored Ma Xilan's martial arts Qi to the "Qi training state" after nine months, and even made the old Ma Xilan look several years younger.
According to this state, as long as Mahilan returns to her true state, the seven souls poisoned by "Qianji Powder" can be repaired, and her appearance will naturally become younger with the rejuvenation of her essence and blood, although she will not be able to return to the appearance consistent with her age.
, but he will never look like he is now in his sixties.
Yi Wuwei studied heaven and knew that Mahilan had been poisoned for a long time. Although the "Taizhu Heart Sutra" could slowly restore Mahilan's cultivation, with Mahilan's current physique, it would take at least ten or eight years to reach the Solid Yuan realm, let alone
She was in the state of returning to true nature. Only by pouring in her own Nascent Soul cultivation power could she help her repair the damaged seven souls. And with Mahilan's skills at that time, she would definitely enter the state of returning to true nature within half a year.
Yi Wuwei knew that if he sacrificed his life and transferred his cultivation energy to Mahilan, although he could save her, it would also make her feel uneasy for the rest of her life. When Mahilan entered the "qi training realm", he pretended to smile.
, told Mahilan that the damaged qi-moving meridians have been restored, and he can guide qi to circulate around the sky on his own. As long as he practices the "Taichu Heart Sutra" every day, he will automatically repair the seven souls within a year.
Ma Xilan believed in what Yi Wuwei said, but knowing that her seven souls could be repaired and her appearance would naturally become younger, she was overjoyed. She only waited for a year to enter the realm of return to truth, and return to Taibai Academy with Yi Wuwei.
Go see Chu Nanfeng.
More than three months passed like this. One afternoon, Mahilan came to Moforget Island and saw Yi Wuwei lying in the wooden house with a pale face. To his surprise, he heard Yi Wuwei sigh and say that he was nearly a hundred years old and that there was no time left.
Much more. Mahilan could not help but turn pale with horror when he thought about his cultivation in the Nascent Soul Realm, where he was already immune to all kinds of illnesses, but now he was in such a situation.
Suddenly she saw Yi Wuwei's radiant face, sitting up cross-legged. In the midst of surprise, she felt a flash in front of her eyes. Yi Wuwei's right hand was already pressing on her Tianmen point, and a stream of energy slowly came in, but like the Xuanyin Master of Xiangu'an
When Tai passed away, it was like losing his energy to himself. Mahilan was shocked but tried to struggle, but was unable to move.
Just listen to Yi Wuwei's words: "My birthday has come, it's a pity that I brought this body into the coffin. You suffered this disaster because I didn't take good care of you. This remaining strength may help you recover from the damage as soon as possible."
Of the seven souls, you calmly guide Zhou Tian..."
Mahilan burst into tears when she spoke, "At that time, I struggled desperately, but my mentor scolded me... saying that this was his last wish. Even though I didn't want to in every possible way, but... I was finally guided by my mentor's energy..."
"I will follow Master's last wish... to bury him on this Moforget Island. I thought of observing my filial piety for Master for three years, and then go to the academy to find you... I thought I would go after the Hungry Ghost Festival."
Chu Nanfeng sighed deeply in his heart, that third letter must have been written by Ma Xilan as a memorial to Yi Wuwei. He thought that he was deeply in love at that time and was heartbroken. Even though he was vomiting blood, he could not finish the memorial letter.
Looking at the miserable Ma Xilan, he stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and said softly: "After we go back to report to Daddy, Master Wu and the others that they are safe, we will live on this Moforget Island to accompany our mentor..."
After saying that, he stood up, took Mahilan's hand, and walked together to the wooden house in the forest. While walking, he told Mahilan about meeting Xu Wenxiang and finding Dragon King Island, and he listened to her sigh.
Mahilan was rescued by Yi Wuwei who sacrificed his life. The damaged seven souls were finally repaired, and he entered the realm of returning to his true nature. His appearance became more than ten years younger, from being in his sixtieth year to being nearly fifty years old.
.She has a pretty face, and is extremely beautiful. She was born in an imperial family, and has developed a dignified and elegant manner since she was a child. However, her face and contours can still be seen from the beauty and elegance of her youth.
Xu Wenxiang saw Ma Xilan's true face at this time. Although she didn't know Ma Xilan's experience, looking at her white hair, she could feel that her master must have experienced many misfortunes. Thinking of her own experience, she felt sad for a moment, and
Holding Mahilan in tears, she cried in grief: "Master..."
Mahilan accepted her as her disciple because she had a deep affection for Qi Zhousheng. After listening to Chu Nanfeng's story, she realized that her husband Qi Zhousheng, whom she had been going to the nunnery to burn incense and pray to Buddha for protection and safety every day for several years, was actually an ungrateful person.
With a lot of emotion in his heart, he said to Xu Wenxiang, who looked sad, "After paying homage to your master, master and your husband will definitely help you find justice." The husband in his mouth is undoubtedly Chu Nanfeng.
