"The six roots of our Buddhism are pure, whether hairy or not, they are the same."
Xuan Hui picked up the chestnuts and peeled them open. The soft, waxy and sweet feeling lingered in her mouth.
"The six roots are pure but it doesn't mean that they don't grow hair."
Zou Kai smiled and put in a few more chestnuts to roast.
Taoist priest Xuanzhen was waiting at Qingyun Temple. Mojie was worried about the war in the north and often came down from Zhenfo Temple to play chess and chat with Taoist priest Xuanzhen.
It is said that family members do not care about world affairs, but the battle at Yanmen Pass is too important to ask questions about it.
"We are outsiders, but our hearts cannot be at peace."
Mojie dropped the ball and said mockingly.
Taoist Master Xuanzhen picked up a chess piece and dropped it, saying, "How can a person in this world eat all kinds of grains and be an outsider?"
Mojie said: "The body is in the world, but the mind is outside the world."
Taoist Master Xuanzhen said: "The master's heart is outside the world, but the poor Taoist is not."
"When the Fire Temple was established, it was to find the descendants of the Long family and eliminate the ghost clan when they invaded."
It can be said that Mojie has jumped out of the three realms and is not in the secular world.
Taoist Priest Xuanzhen is not. He wants to inherit the mission of Liehuo Temple and fight for the common people in the world.
Mojie silently picked up a chess piece and dropped it, not knowing what to say.
Compared with Buddhism's innocence, Taoism's coming out of troubled times seems to be more able to save the common people from the sea of suffering.
The door was pushed open, cold wind rushed in, Taoist priest Xuanzhen turned to look at the door.
The person who came in was his disciple Liang Yao.
"Master, I just received news that Long Chen defeated the ghost tribe at Yanmen Pass, and Long Chen is hunting down the ghost tribe."
Liang Yao was very excited. He had just seen the announcement outside.
Taoist priest Xuanzhen threw the chess pieces back into the bowl, stood up excitedly, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay..."
Zou Kai had just picked up the chestnuts from the stove. When he heard that Long Chen had won a great victory at Yanmen Pass, he was so excited that he threw the chestnuts away and shouted: "My foster father has defeated the ghost clan, great!"
Mojie sat still, but his heart was filled with excitement.
Long Chen defeated the ghost clan, there is no better news than this.
"Amitabha..."
Mojie still couldn't hold back and laughed.
"That's great. After next spring, the war may be over."
Taoist priest Xuanzhen is very optimistic.
Liang Yao said: "Everyone is celebrating. The ministers of the DPRK have entered the palace."
Such good news, ministers would like to congratulate you together.
Looking at the heavy snow outside, Taoist Master Xuanzhen said: "I hope this time it can be solved once and for all."
The news spread throughout the capital, people went out to celebrate, and ministers entered the palace to congratulate. In the snowy weather, the air was filled with a festive atmosphere.
...
grassland.
At dawn, Long Chen and the Empress came out of the small igloo.
The cold wind outside was still strong, and the outside of the igloo was covered with a thick layer of snow.
"Continue chasing?"
The empress asked Long Chen about his plan.
Long Chen said: "Wu Sheng, Ghost Girl and Li Chengdao were all injured, especially Wu Sheng. He finally blew himself up in the black moon. Now he is barehanded. This is a good opportunity to kill him."
The opportunity must never come again. The three masters of the ghost clan are all injured. If we don't take this opportunity to kill them, there may be no good opportunities in the future.
The empress said: "Okay, let's go."
When the two were about to continue heading northwest, an army appeared behind them.
"Huh? Are they chasing me?"
The empress could tell from their armor that this army was from the Peking Camp, and its leader was Zhang Man.
The emperor ordered Luo Xi, the emperor of Yixue, to divide his troops into groups of a thousand men each.
"It seems to be Zhang Man."
Long Chen also recognized the person and stopped waiting for Zhang Man to approach.
far away.
Zhang Man found two people in the snow and immediately ordered everyone to stop moving forward.
"Martial Saint and Ghost Girl?"
The lieutenant under his command was taken aback, and the soldiers were also frightened.
If it was a martial saint or a ghost girl, they would be dead.
Zhang Man took out his telescope and through the wind and snow, he recognized the clothes of Long Chen and the empress.
"It's the Holy Emperor and King Wu!"
Zhang Man put away the telescope excitedly and strode forward.
When the soldiers under his command heard that Long Chen and the Empress were in front, they excitedly followed Zhang Man and ran forward.
"The last general, Zhang Man, pays homage to the Holy Lord, King Wu."
Zhang Man saluted excitedly, but without paying attention to his feet, his body fell into the snow.
The empress smiled and helped Zhang Man up and said, "There is no need to perform such a grand ceremony."
Zhang Man said sheepishly: "General, I'm rude."
The soldiers behind him caught up and saluted the empress, Long Chen.
"Thank you for your hard work, soldiers."
The empress loudly comforted everyone.
Zhang Man said: "That day, the Holy Lord and King Wu did not return at night. The three princesses convened the generals to discuss the matter at night. The next day, they went out to hunt down the ghost tribe and also looked for the Holy Lord and King Wu."
"I didn't expect that the general would find the Holy Lord and King Wu first. It's really great."
There was no news about Long Chen and the Empress for so long, and everyone was very worried.
If anything happens to the two of them, everything will be over.
"I'm fine. King Wu and I met Wu Sheng and Li Chengdao. They were seriously injured, but they both escaped. I'm planning to continue chasing them."
"Tell Luo Xi and Ling Yi that I'm fine. You continue to search for the ghost soldiers. King Wu and I will go first."
Zhang Man bowed and said: "The last general will give orders, the Holy Master and King Wu must be careful."
The empress nodded slightly, and she and Long Chen turned around and walked towards the northwest first.
Zhang Man immediately sent someone to pass the news to Emperor Lingyi, telling everyone that the empress and Long Chen were fine.
...
When the sky was just getting light, Li Chengdao came out of the igloo.
The wound on the waist stabbed by the holy sword has almost healed, but it will take some time for the wounds inside to be completely healed.
The holy sword almost penetrated the entire abdomen. Fortunately, it did not hit the kidneys and only injured the intestines.
After taking most of the medicine left by the demon spirit, Li Chengdao felt much better.
The demon spirit was still of some use, at least it left behind some elixirs.
Looking around, Li Chengdao thought for a while and walked quickly to the north.
If he leaves first, Wu Sheng will definitely not go in the same direction as him, so Wu Sheng will head north.
When Li Chengdao escaped, Wu Sheng was still fighting with the Empress, but Li Chengdao was very sure that Wu Sheng would not die so easily and he would definitely be able to escape.
Stepping on the thick snow, Li Chengdao kept walking north.
The surroundings were completely white, and the sky was covered with dark snowy clouds. I don’t know how much time had passed.
A group of ghost soldiers suddenly appeared in the east, numbering about six thousand.
Li Chengdao was very surprised that so many ghost soldiers appeared?
"General Lee?"
The first person is none other than Cheng Hui.
"Cheng Hui? Why are you here?"
Li Chengdao looked at the ghost soldiers behind Cheng Hui. There were warriors from the ghost tribe, warriors from the Dragon Slayer Army, and barbarians.
"Hey, the King and His Majesty fought against Long Chen. I didn't expect that Long Chen was so powerful and actually defeated the King and His Majesty."
"The Long family army took the opportunity to cover up the attack. We had no general to guard us and were defeated like a mountain. The brothers couldn't tell the difference between east, west, north and south and fled in all directions."
"In the past two days, the Long family army came out of Yanmen Pass and chased them everywhere. I thought we were the only ones who could tell the location clearly, so I asked the brothers to search separately."
"It took me three days of searching to find so many brothers."
Cheng Hui said very frustrated.
Li Chengdao sighed: "The strong wind knows the strong grass, you are the most useful at this time."
I really didn't expect that people like Cheng Hui could play such a huge role at critical moments.
"Ashamed, my cultivation is not good enough, so I can only retreat with my brothers."
Cheng Hui looked back at the team behind him. Although there were many people, everyone was very depressed. The army had no fighting spirit, like a defeated rooster.
