"Zeluo Ju had issued five evil sword pursuit orders before, but only one of the five people who were hunted survived. This was because he was at the edge of the vast sea at the time, quickly escaped and returned to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The remaining four, the strongest of them, had already
Eight orifices opened..."
Listening to Qu Jiuniang's introduction, Meng Qi felt that something was not right. The vast sea was vast, and even if the number of horse bandits was ten times the current number, they would be like pebbles thrown into the river without causing any waves. The four of them only needed to avoid the main route and cross the vast wilderness.
Can the horse bandits still find them in the desert?
Qu Jiuniang said with a sneer on her lips:
"Although the vast sea is vast, there are not many places where humans can travel. Unless you are a master of location and can control the wind and rain and create water sources by relying on the intersection with the sky and the earth, otherwise, the pure water alone will prevent you from doing whatever you want.
"
Gu Changqing, whose family has lived in the Hanhai Oasis for generations, quite understands this: "Yes, the most important thing in the Gobi is the water source. After all, the water source is scarce and the number is limited. The horse bandits understand these 'topography', so they dare to pursue it."
The matter of killing, but don’t worry, Meng Qi, no matter how small the water source is, it is only relative to the entire vast sea, and the horse bandits cannot know everything and guard it, they still have to maintain their daily lives."
Horse bandits maintain their daily lives by robbing.
Along the way, in order not to expose his identity, Meng Qi stopped using his legal name and changed back to his original name, which felt very comfortable.
"But you are very lucky. Although Zeluoju issued a fatwa, but the news of the death of the crying old man spreads, Zeluoju himself will be panicked for a while, and no one will offend the crying old man because of the fatwa.
Master Xuanbei!"
Qu Jiuniang smiled and then her expression changed, "Go down and leave as soon as you finish eating and drinking."
Let me go, without the gems, I will fall out of love faster than reading a book! Meng Qi cursed, and returned to the lobby with Gu Changqing, ordering roasted lamb legs, mixed donkey meat and other food, and his mouth was full of oil after eating.
Gu Changqing held up his chopsticks and was dumbfounded. Didn't he say that Shaolin would give up eating meat after enlightenment?
After the meal, Meng Qi didn't delay and pulled Gu Changqing out of Hanhai's first house.
Qu Jiuniang lazily propped up her chin, looked at the two people's backs, let out a laugh, and whispered:
"This little monk is quite interesting. No wonder you pay so much attention to him!"
Shang Yi's voice appeared in Qu Jiuniang's mind:
"He has high potential, good luck, and will grow very quickly!
Although the evil sword pursuit order is not very effective now, in order to frighten others, Ze Luoju personally went after the young monk, so I still keep an eye on it!"
Qu Jiuniang nodded when she heard the words and said through a message:
"That's right. Although Master Xuanbei is currently being restrained by the Vajra Temple, the possibility of becoming a Dharmakaya in the future is very high. It would be better for us to form some good karma!"
Shang Yi said:
"Not only do the young monks in our team have great talents, but we also have Su Wuming's disciple Jiang Zhiwei, who is simply the second Su Wuming, very extraordinary! Why not find an opportunity to join the Immortal Trail together!?"
Qu Jiuniang's eyes lit up when she heard this and said:
"Okay, it seems that our immortality will be stronger in the future, and we will be more calm when facing mythology!"
"Okay, they have gone far, I have to follow them, see you later!"
Shang Yi transmitted the message and disappeared into the room, blending into the void with his magical feet, just following behind Meng Qi and Gu Changqing.
Watching Meng Qi and Gu Changqing walking towards the west, fighting wits and courage with the bandits, killing Shen Zui, and saving their junior brother Zhenhui from the sea of fish.
Shang Yi didn't care about these things. On the one hand, he protected Meng Qi from encountering strong men who were difficult to deal with, and on the other hand, he was comprehending the nature of the world along the way.
In fact, Shang Yi wanted to further investigate the reincarnation of Erlang God Zhenhui. However, at this time, Erlang God was not in a deep sleep state, but as a blood demon in the Nine Netherworld, paying attention to the world in a "pseudo other shore" state. boundary.
He didn't want to offend True Lord Qingyuan Miaodao.
······
The wind and sand were so violent that it hurt his face. Even though Meng Qi had opened his eyes and ears, he could hardly detect what was happening five feet away.
Less than half a day after leaving Yuhai, the three of them encountered a real sandstorm on their way to Tanhan. The power of the heaven and earth was terrifying, and the wind and sand covered the sky and the sun, as if they were going to bury people.
Dark gold flows around Meng Qi's body, blocking the invasion of wind and sand. Due to the existence of the golden bell, the initial damage caused by the sandstorm has little impact on him, but the symptoms such as water evaporation, dry throat, and difficulty breathing are not the same as the current golden bell. If you can offset it, you can only support it patiently.
Compared to him, Zhenhui and Gu Changqing were even more unbearable. They did not have a golden bell, nor did they have the experience of practicing in front of Huohu. They covered their faces with kerchiefs and struggled to walk.
"We have to find a place to take shelter on weathered rocks and hills..." Meng Qi said to Zhenhui and Gu Changqing through voice transmission. He himself was not a big problem, but if the sandstorm was more violent, the three of them would be blown away without warning. .
Zhenhui quietly hid behind Meng Qi, using her senior brother as a shield to block the wind and sand, and suddenly said: "Senior brother, there seems to be a light ahead!"
"Lights?" Meng Qi was stunned and looked around. Sure enough, he saw a vague black figure behind the layers of wind and sand. It seemed to be a house, with faint lights shining through.
If this is not an oasis, how can there be buildings? Meng Qi was very confused, but after looking at the current state of Zhenhui and Gu Changqing, he felt that it was not an option to continue like this, so he nodded and said: "We will go there to take shelter from the wind and sand, but everything will be fine careful."
"Perhaps they are the remains of oasis buildings in the past..." Gu Changqing guessed.
In the Western Region, with the transfer of water sources and the invasion of wind and sand, some oases are always covered by sand and abandoned by humans. Gu Changqing is not surprised.
"That's right." Meng Qi put aside his worries for a moment, used himself as a shield, drove the wind and sand, and moved forward like a chariot.
After passing through the heavy wind and sand, Meng Qi was suddenly stunned, because the building in front of him was not a ruin, but a new-looking Buddhist temple. The temple was not big, just a single hall, and it was not gorgeous. It was just an ordinary Gobi temple. It was built of rock, dusty and lifeless.
But at this moment, seeing it in the vast wind and sand, seeing a little green light like a bean inside, I felt an unimaginable sense of physical and mental peace.
It shouldn't be a place that eats people, right? Meng Qi's senses were affected and he could only inspect it for a moment, then walked to the temple door and patted it gently.
"Amitabha, the sandstorm is fierce, so the four of you don't need to be polite."
A clear voice came from the temple.
"Hey, did you say something wrong? There are only three of us!"
Zhenhui said doubtfully.
Meng Qi and Gu Changqing suddenly changed their expressions. There were clearly only three of them in their group, so how could they be four? Did the people inside sense it wrong? Or was there really an invisible person beside the three of them?
"Hahaha, timid little monk! It's me!"
Shang Yi appeared behind the three of them and joked to Meng Qi with a smile.
Hearing the familiar voice, Meng Qi was relieved, turned around and said:
"It turns out to be Senior Brother Huai Kong!"
Shang Yi smiled and said:
"I learned that Zeluoju issued an order to kill the evil sword. I was worried that in order to scare others, he would personally kill chickens and scare monkeys with the knife, so I followed you invisibly. Unexpectedly, I met the legendary descendant of Lanke Temple!
"
"Heir of Lanke Temple?"
Meng Qi said in surprise.
Shang Yi muttered:
"It can't be wrong!"
Meng Qi opened the temple door, and the first thing he saw was a stone statue of Buddha with a face full of kindness and compassion. It bore the pure seal of Nirvana and had a green lamp in front of it swaying, illuminating the room.
At the second glance, he saw a young monk sitting cross-legged in front of the Buddha statue. He was in his twenties. His facial features were not outstanding, but he gave people a refreshing and earthly appearance. Meng Qi tried hard to play the role but always failed.
A little bit of the feeling of heat.
"Amitabha, thank you Master for taking me in." Meng Qi clasped his hands together.
Although he had not shaved his head for ten days and there was already a light layer of black hair on his head, he still subconsciously followed Buddhist etiquette.
The young monk smiled calmly and said: "Junior brother, there is no need to be polite. The poor monk built the Buddhist temple in this deserted place in the Gobi Desert to provide a refuge for those who have lost their way. Pure lands are everywhere, not only in the Paradise, but also in the heart.
Beside every devout monk."
"Brother, is this the Buddhist temple you built?" Meng Qi asked in astonishment.
When Buddhists meet each other, if they don't know the name of the Dharma, they can directly address the Dharma master, or they can address each other as senior fellow apprentice.
The young monk pointed with his right hand, motioning Meng Qi and the four of them to sit on the ground, and then said with a smile:
"The poor monk has been here for more than half a year and built this Buddhist temple hand by hand."
"Senior brother, this is a meritorious move."
Zhenhui said with admiration on her face.
Meng Qi frowned slightly, could he be an ascetic monk?
The young monk still had that indifferent smile: "On the day when the poor monk came down from the mountain, he made a great wish before the Buddha to build forty-nine Buddhist temples in the Gobi and deserts of the Western Regions to provide services for travelers.
A place to rest and take shelter from the wind.”
Having said this, he paused and laughed at himself: "It can be regarded as meritorious. The poor monk's dharma name is Hongneng. I wonder what the two junior brothers call him? I wonder what I call this donor?"
"The poor monk Zhen Ding, he is the poor monk's junior brother Zhen Hui, Gu Jiabao Gu Changqing, a scattered person in the world." Meng Qi introduced one by one:
"I wonder where the mountain gate is, senior brother?"
Although Shang Yi had already made a guess, Meng Qi still wanted to ask!
Just as Hong Neng was about to speak, he suddenly smiled and said, "No monsters are allowed here. Donors, please come in."
Monster? Meng Qi and Gu Changqing turned their heads in shock and looked at the door. Could there be a monster?
Zhenhui's eyes were bright and she was quite excited.
The door opened, and a man carrying a package walked in. He was thin, with a fleshless face and slightly wrinkled eyebrows, giving him a cold feeling.
"Senior Brother Zhenguan!" Zhenhui blurted out in surprise.
Meng Qi also recognized this man. He was the Zhen Guan who had been expelled from the temple because of a crazy attack on him. He was the Zhen Guan who came from the secret path in the back mountain of Shaolin. He was said by the master to have become a semi-human being.
The true view of the demon body!
Following the voice, Zhen Guan turned his head and saw Meng Qi and Zhen Hui. A cold smile appeared on his fleshless face: "It turns out to be Junior Brother Zhending. I didn't expect to meet my 'old friend' in a foreign country. Are you okay?
"
He walked straight towards Meng Qi, a layer of thin black scales appeared on his face and the back of his hands, like a human-shaped poisonous snake, with an evil aura that shocked the soul.
Meng Qi had already been tempering the demonic energy in the stupa, but he did not lose his mind at this time. He pulled out the sword with a clang, opened his hands with "Duan Qingjing", and restrained his energy and mind.
"Amitabha, the poison of anger has entered your body and will never come back. Donor, please calm down."
The young monk Hongneng proclaimed the Buddha's name, and his clear and clear voice echoed in the small temple, going straight into the heart, far and peaceful, like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning awakening the charming dream of a sea of suffering.
Shang Yi looked at Zhen Guan and said:
"There is nothing wrong with wanting to take revenge if you have hatred in your heart. It is also your choice to practice the demon clan skills and become a half-demon. As long as you stick to your heart and not let the demon influence affect your mind, you will still be you after revenge!"
The words seemed to be filled with Buddhist chants, which dispelled the evil thoughts in the heart of the true concept. The self-will was constantly elevated, and was not affected by demons, obsessions, and inner demons, and the true self was briefly seen.
The true view was immersed in the inner world, as if he had gone through thousands of reincarnations, understood his mind and nature, and bursts of Buddha's light suppressed the demonic aura all over him.
"The first form of Tathagata Palm: I am the only one who is supreme!"
Hong Neng stared at Shang Yi and Zhen Guan with wide eyes, and was extremely shocked! He didn't expect that the young hero in front of him, who claimed to be a martial artist, actually mastered a "Tathagata Divine Palm"!
Meng Qi, Zhenhui and Gu Changqing were also very shocked. Meng Qi was somewhat immune to the shocking things Shang Yi had done, but Zhenhui and Gu Changqing were envious.
However, although they longed for magical powers such as "Tathagata Divine Palm", they did not become greedy.
Shang Yi, who was distracted and paying attention to everyone, nodded secretly in his heart. If he could not be greedy, his character would be much better than ordinary people!
Shang Yi looked at Hongneng and smiled:
"It's just chance!"
Meng Qi looked a little strange. Although Shang Yi looked calm, he felt that Shang Yi was in Versailles.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Huh~~~"
Zhen Guan gradually woke up, and his demonic aura was pure and restrained. He no longer looked like a demon, but was somewhat divine.
"Thank you!"
Zhen Guan's eyes were full of gratitude. He didn't know that Shang Yi possessed the "Tathagata Divine Palm", but he knew that Shang Yi had helped him just now, making the demonic power in his body become purer and more powerful.
Lots of possibilities.
In this way, his revenge will be smoother.
The most important thing is that Shang Yi did not blindly persuade him to give up hatred like those so-called eminent monks in Shaolin Temple, or even push him to follow the path of demons; instead, he helped him calm his inner demons and keep his true heart.
"Amitabha, all living beings are empty. The benefactor is burdened with murderous karma, so why bother adding to the sins?" Hongneng pronounced the Buddha's name again, looking at the package carried by Zhen Guan with solemn eyes and implicit compassion.
Zhen Guan let out a laugh and opened the package with a slightly dazed look, revealing two lime-pickled heads inside. The corners of his mouth were raised, as if he was happy: "They killed my parents and destroyed my family. Today is just a cycle of cause and effect. When there is
This is retribution! Only eighteen of the seventy-two heads were picked off, and there are still fifty-four!"
"Amitabha, when is the time for retribution? The benefactor has fallen into the misery of Shura due to his sins. Why not let go of his obsession and follow the poor monks to build a Buddhist temple in this deserted place to accumulate merit and seek liberation in the next life?"
Hongneng sighed and did his duty to explain.
Meng Qi frowned slightly, the seventy-two bandits of Helian Mountain, the disciple of the "Crying Old Man" and the "Lidi Yama" are even more related? It is said that Zhen Guan became an orphan because of their gift, no wonder he would meet him again in the vast sea.
"These words, Master should tell them when they massacred my parents, the cause of yesterday is the result of today. This is the teaching of the Buddha."
"The cause of today is also the result of tomorrow. It is difficult to escape from the entanglement of cause and effect. Don't you understand?"
Hongneng suddenly shouted, like a bell ringing in unison, imitating the senior monks and doing something to give a wake-up call:
"Why don't you put down the butcher's knife quickly, break away from cause and effect, and become a Buddha immediately!"
When it came to debating scriptures, Zhen Guan was no match for Hong Neng. Qiang Zi argued a few more words and was left speechless. He simply stopped talking and looked at the ground numbly.
Hong Neng's tongue bloomed with lotus flowers, but he failed to achieve the true vision and regretted it. He was a little discouraged for a while, closed his eyes and started turning the rosary.
"Well, if he could let go, he would have awakened and become a Buddha long ago. Why bother to embark on the path of demons? If he can't let go and can't take revenge, he will suffer for the rest of his life. Can you help him escape from the sea of suffering?"
Shang Yi looked at Hongneng and said.
Then he looked at Zhen Guan and continued:
"If you want revenge, be prepared. The crying old man died a few days ago. Most of his disciples will be approached by their enemies one by one. If you follow those people, revenge will be easier.
!”
Hongneng frowned and looked at Shang Yi and said:
"Donor, how can you encourage others to commit murder?"
Shang Yi was not dissatisfied and said:
"Those horse bandits have caused more murders. Those who kill are always killed. They have been killing for many years. It is their own fault to be killed by the enemy today! Is it possible to let them put down their butcher knives and become Buddhas immediately?"
