Dinghai City is formed by the seaside. After nightfall, the sea breeze blows and the lights are swaying. There are one or two night markets, the noise is even brighter during the day, and there are all kinds of people and monsters, speaking different languages and accents, especially those sold from overseas.
A rare treasure, its smell is so fragrant that it makes your bones crisp, and its color is so dazzling that your eyes are dazzled.
What a bustling night scene! Unfortunately, Wuxu and Zhang Ruoyue were not interested. Zhang Ruoyue, with a frosty face, strode for a while, then suddenly, lightly, flew straight into the sky, towards the outside of the city.
In the high sky nearby, several towers that looked like lighthouses suddenly shot out beams of light, and then demon cultivators flew in from them, asking in a deep voice. Behind Zhang Ruoyue, Wuxu lit up the Youyou Ling, stimulating a blue light shield.
, said, "I have something urgent to do and have to leave the city."
In the night sky, the beam of light disappeared and the demonic shadow dispersed. Zhang Ruoyue in front of her was like a giant, which was difficult to reach with the naked eye.
Only a few miles out of the city, there is the beach. The moonlight is like water, and the tide is swaying leisurely under Zhang Ruoyue's feet. Zhang Ruoyue, with a frosty face, glared at Wuxu who came after him, "Why did you stop me so many times just now?"
Shall I take action?" The voice was particularly cold in the wind.
Wuxu clasped his hands together and stepped on the soft beach. While walking towards the upright Zhang Ruoyue, he said, "Amitabha, why did Fairy Ruoyue attack so many times in the city lord's palace just now?"
Zhang Ruoyue squinted her eyes and stared at Wuxu for a while, then suddenly turned around and faced the bright moon in the sea, "The demon clan bullies my human clan like this. But you turn a blind eye and ask me why?"
Wuxu looked at Zhang Ruoyue's back, thought for a while, and replied, "The young monk has met that woman several times before and knows a little about it. The young monk dares to assert that the woman was not forced to do it, but for the silver.
Live, and imitate the language of the demon clan to sell and sing. If
If I really want to say that I am forced, it is because of life." After a pause, he turned around and faced the bright moon in the vast sea, "The so-called selfless appearance, human appearance, all living beings, and the longevity of the person. Fairy Ruoyue, you are almost a real person now.
Now that you are a monk, are you still obsessed with distinguishing between humans and monsters?"
Zhang Ruoyue turned around, looked at Wuxu again, and said bitterly with a bit of hatred, "Master Wuxu, you are so confused! You must know that everyone of our species must have different minds. Humans are humans, and demons are
It’s a monster! When Tang Sanzang traveled to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, were those monsters ever polite to him?”
Wuxu shook his head slowly, "All things are born equal, and all living beings are equal. If a fairy considers and acts in this way, then others will naturally consider and act in this way. As a result, the cycle of cause and effect will be clinging, and there will be no peace. This is
There is nothing wrong with the world, and it is only for mediocre people to disturb themselves."
Zhang Ruoyue couldn't help but tremble with anger after hearing Wuxu's words.
When he saw this, he hurriedly said, "The so-called people of our race must have different minds. This is what ordinary people say. Although you and I are practitioners, there are also good and evil, but in the final analysis, the difference between good and evil is
, we still have to see if he has really done evil. The young monk remembers that Master Lu Xianzi also said it."
Before Wuxu finished speaking, Zhang Ruoyue had already flown a thousand meters away. Wuxu had no choice but to chase after him again.
..
In the Lord's Mansion of Dinghai City, it is time for the banquet again. In fact, after Wuxu and Zhang Ruoyue left, the banquet has continued. Today, the interest in dried plum blossoms seems to be particularly high, especially among the two outsiders, Wuxu and Zhang Ruoyue.
After he left, he drank so much wine and drank so much that the eight stunning beauties next to him were so busy that they were dripping with sweat as they walked around.
A demon cultivator under the seat saw that the city lord Mei Qianhua had been showing his original form and exuding a strong demonic aura. He couldn't help but asked cautiously, "Sir, the city lord, the two Confucian monks today seem to be quite different in their words and deeds." No respect, why didn’t the city lord let us take it down?”
The dried plum blossoms turned into dry matter, and he snorted coldly, "I escaped from the black evil spirit of Master Black Dragon Envoy Xuan Ying Shura. Do you think these two are mortal monks?!"
As soon as these words came out, the demon cultivators in the banquet suddenly became quiet. After a while, a demon cultivator stood up, bent down and cupped his hands, "No wonder the Lord of the City gave them the highest level of Youyou Order. It turns out that those two people have been seen through. The details.”
The dried plum transformed into a demon body lying in the dark green demonic aura. He said leisurely, "The reason why I gave them the highest level of Youyou Order is not only because they are all real monks, but also because although they are human Confucian sects, Although monks are generally not distinguishable from humans and monsters, maybe they can really be used by our demon clan when the time comes."
The demon cultivators below all replied, "The city lord is wise, in the future our demon race will definitely replace the human race!"
..
On Peach Blossom Island, at the top of Anqi Mountain, Zhang Ruoyue walked slowly around a small smooth stone platform with her hands behind her back, and sneered, "This must be what Master Wuxu mentioned to this girl. Let’s go to the ruins of the stone statues.” After that, he recited loudly, “If there is any injustice, burn incense and recite it silently.”
Wuxu smiled bitterly. He told Zhang Ruoyue that he had shaped the stone statue in Anqi Mountain on Peach Blossom Island in order to ask Zhang Ruoyue to follow him here to try to absorb and condense Zhang Cuilu's spiritual consciousness. Unexpectedly, Zhang Ruoyue would actually use this at this moment. I use this sentence to ridicule myself, but I can't explain it clearly for a while. What's more, some things become more confusing and darker as they are described.
Wuxu smiled bitterly and said nothing, but Zhang Ruoyue's words were eloquent, quoting scriptures, and studying ancient and modern times. On the surface, every word was like the bright moon, but secretly it was full of undercurrents. He almost criticized Wuxu to pieces and scolded him to pieces. At the end, she even said that if she wanted to help Wuxu absorb Zhang Cuilu's spiritual consciousness, unless the wish of all the people on Peach Blossom Island to burn incense and recite it silently for peace tonight could be fulfilled.
Although this Peach Blossom Island is not big, there are at least more than a hundred people. If these more than a hundred people have some injustice and burn incense and make wishes, wouldn’t Wuxu be busy to death? Furthermore, people have seven emotions and six desires, greed, anger and love. Even though there are injustices, the wishes made by idiots may not be reasonable and reasonable. Wuxu is a Buddhist monk, but with the cultivation of real people, he may not agree with them, and even if he agrees, he may not be able to achieve them.
Facing Zhang Ruoyue who was in anger and making things difficult for him, Wu Xu stood on the top of the mountain with a smile, looked at the lights dotted below the mountain, and released his spiritual consciousness.
In a spacious and magnificent high-rise building, someone was pouring wine and incense on a pig's head and a God of Wealth, and muttering words, praying for another big fortune. Realizing this, he stretched out his hand and pointed towards that place, and said with a smile, " This person has never done anything unfair, nor is he reciting it silently."
In a dilapidated thatched hut, a young man with no clothes on his body was leaning on a wooden bed with a sad look on his face. He was thinking about whether the sea would be very rough tomorrow. He was planning to abandon those acres of barren mountain fields and take a boat to Dinghai City. He went to live with his relatives and found a job as a waiter in a hotel. He didn't have much money, but he was provided with food and accommodation. Wu Xu moved his fingers and said with a smile, "This person has never done anything unfair, let alone burned incense and recited silently."
But Zhang Ruoyue suddenly raised his hand and pointed toward the island near the sea. Wuxu concentrated on it and saw only a small fishing boat floating on the shore. There was an old woman in it, leaning on a lamp.
Beside the dim oil lamp, while wiping away tears, I choked with sobs, but I was missing my son.
Picture after scene, Wuxu and Zhang Ruoyue appeared in the sea of consciousness. A young man, after hugging the old woman in tears, turned back and waved frequently while stepping onto the ship's deck; a giant ship like a giant dragon, carrying
The cabin full of cargo, carrying the young man, gradually moved eastward; the scorching sun, violent storms, ships came and went, but the giant ship and the young man never appeared again... Finally, the afterglow shone on the sea, and the turbid
The waves meet the sky, and the scene is frozen here.
Wu Xu secretly sighed in his heart. It seemed that the old woman's son had become a sailor on a merchant ship and went on a long trip to the sea. It seemed that he had an accident and could not come back.
Zhang Ruoyue may have been reminded of her father's thoughts. A moment later, she flew up from the top of the mountain and flew towards the small fishing boat silently. Wuxu, of course, followed her.
Outside the small fishing boat, under the moonlight, Zhang Ruoyue said to Wuxu, "Find out the whereabouts of this old woman's son, and if he is still alive, bring him back." After a pause, "There must be a result tonight."
."
This is really difficult! Wuxu was about to speak. However, at some point, Zhang Ruoyue had three more sandalwood plants in her hand. She closed her palms, then said nothing, and closed her eyes slightly, as if she was making a pious wish.
Wuxu next to him was like air.
Seeing this, Wuxu realized that it was useless to talk in vain, so he clasped his hands together, recited the Buddha's name silently, and flew towards the east.
That giant merchant ship traveled all the way, and the furthest it went was Fusang, Japan. Back then, I traveled from Hongze Lake to Fusang, Japan, overnight. Tonight, I would concentrate on the night patrol, so it would not be a problem.
With this thought in mind, Wuxu set foot on the sea to the east and released his spiritual consciousness, intending to first find information about the merchant ship and then find the old woman's son.
Within a moment, Zhang Ruoyue also flew to Wuxu's side, wanting to search for the old woman's son with Wuxu.
The two people were ten meters apart, traveling at the same speed, both of them hidden in the moonlight. Zhang Ruoyue had a solemn look on her face, her eyes closed tightly, and the sandalwood in her hand spread out bursts of fragrance in the moonlight and sea breeze. Wuxu held Ji in his hand.
After destroying the Buddha Bead, the center of his forehead suddenly cracked, and a pale golden eye emerged, shooting out streaks of light towards the sea below.
The sea is mostly vast, sparkling, cold and distant. There are ships occasionally, but they are not the merchant ships in the old woman's memory. It cannot be said that the old woman's memory has faded. The merchant ship has been deeply engraved in her mind, and it is also deeply engraved in her mind.
The seal is engraved in the sea of consciousness of Wuxu and Zhang Ruoyue.
While Wuxu was flying, he used his clairvoyance. He could see more than 10,000 meters below the sea surface. If the merchant ship encountered an unexpected incident on the way, but there were belongings floating within more than 10,000 meters above the sea surface, he would be able to recognize them. Zhang Ruoyue also followed with his spiritual consciousness.
The moonlight spreads to more than 10,000 meters in front. If there is a similar merchant ship drifting in the sea, God will know it before it arrives. However, after flying like this for nearly two hours, it seems that it is about to reach the border of Fusang in Japan, but nothing is found.
Wuxu looked ahead and couldn't help but said, "It seems that we have to go to Fusang, Japan and find someone to ask."
The search between the two of them at sea was unsuccessful. Naturally, there is a connection with the route, because the two of them were almost straight to the east, and the area covered by them was about three to five kilometers. However, there was no way around it. The level of cultivation was limited. The East China Sea was vast.
, how can everything be checked overnight?
In fact, the two of them should have crossed the sea quickly. If the merchant ship sank into the sea, news would naturally spread. After such a long time, the old woman must have heard about it, and Wuxu would not have to waste his spiritual consciousness to explore under the sea.
; If the merchant ship is on the sea, Zhang Ruoyue does not need to use up her spiritual consciousness to detect more than 10,000 meters ahead. The two of them can fly and find it, and it will be much faster. However, Zhang Ruoyue and Wuxu, from Dinghai City
out
When they came here, they were holding back each other's anger, and when they came across the old woman missing her son, Zhang Ruoyue used the topic to play on, and Wuxu responded generously. In the silence, wantonness and madness brewed, and they started to compete secretly. This is just like what was described in the news of later generations.
Like that, in an emergency, in order to protect her children, a mother propped up a truck with both hands and fought with her bare hands against a crazed wolf dog. It went against physics and exceeded common sense.
There was an endless stream of ships on the shore of Nagasaki Island. Wuxu and Zhang Ruoyue glanced at it, but they still couldn't see the merchant ship that took away the old woman's son.
Wuxu frowned, "Generally, when a merchant ship arrives in Nagasaki, it unloads its cargo and then sails back instead of heading eastward. Did the merchant ship really encounter an accident on the way?" But he saw Zhang Ruoyue, suddenly heading towards
It flew below and flew into the attic above a large ship.
The big ship was decorated with lights and colorful decorations. On the deck and on the side of the ship, there were many warriors with swords patrolling back and forth. In the middle of the cabin, there were many monks scattered everywhere, but they gave off a certain kind of the same aura.
, obviously a ship belonging to a sect.
That kind of aura seemed to be familiar to Wu Xu, and he flew over quickly, only to see Zhang Ruoyue pressing the Xingyun Bamboo Sword on the neck of a monk. The monk, whose cultivation level was only the fourth level of mortal world, could no longer move at this moment, and his face was pale.
He looked at Zhang Ruoyue, speechless. All the monks on the boat flew over and gathered around, looking at Zhang Ruoyue and Wuxu with solemn expressions.
"Two seniors, we are disciples of the Penglai Immortal Sect. How could we be offended?" One of the monks, who had the highest level of cultivation and was on the seventh level of the mortal world, bowed with his hands tied and asked respectfully.
Penglai Immortal Sect? Wuxu, this is not the first time I have heard of it. The person Wuxu pretended to be, Junichiro Akino, was a disciple of Penglai Immortal Sect. Wuxu couldn’t help but think of Zhang Xiaoming, who was also a disciple of Penglai Immortal Sect, and that Xuan
Tortoise shell. Black tortoise shell,
In the sea of Wuxu's consciousness, a bright light suddenly flashed, and it was astonishing! Black turtle shell! Could it be that Penglai Immortal Sect was secretly founded by Luo Guiyi, the true king of Black Turtle?! (See chapters 191, 192, and 193 of this book)
I saw Zhang Ruoyue raised her jade hand, and the image of the old woman and her son appeared in the air very realistically, "Where is this person?"
The monk had traces of blood seeping out from his neck, his eyes were bulging, and he made a small, unclear sound in his throat.
With your Xingyun Bamboo Sword on someone's neck, how can they speak? The same goes for this person. If you can't speak with your throat, can't you speak back with your spiritual consciousness? While Wuxu released his real aura, he looked at Zhang Ruoyue and the monk.
Zhang Ruoyue withdrew the Xingyun Bamboo Sword, then danced with sword flowers and struck the Xingyun Moonlight Han. All the monks on the ship were killed, and their consciousness was wiped out. Zhang Ruoyue turned around, sheathed the sword, and flew towards the sea again.
Wuxu naturally followed, and as for the chaos on the ship, he could only forget about it.
More than a hundred miles to the southeast, we will arrive in an instant. When Wuxu caught up with Zhang Ruoyue, who looked solemn and murderous, the two of them had already flown to a small island. There were restrictions and barriers on the island. Wuxu was upright.
Thinking about how to break through, he saw Zhang Ruoyue holding the Xingyun Bamboo Sword and rowing towards the small island below.
A picture appeared in front of him. The old woman's son, dressed in the costume of the Penglai Immortal Sect monk who had just been killed by Zhang Ruoyue's sword, knelt on the ground, facing Yu Xi, with tears streaming down his face.
Zhang Ruoyue, in the moonlight, used the Xingyun Bamboo Sword to break through the many restrictions and barriers, and quietly and quietly flew to the sky above the old woman and son with Wu Xu.
"Senior brother! If you have an ordinary mind before you have completed your cultivation, the elders of the sect will punish you severely!" A man, from nowhere, flew to the side of the old woman's son and said urgently, "Although the elders are not here tonight,
, But senior brother, if you cry loudly here, let someone who is interested hear it and report it, what should we do?"
The old woman's son turned to look at the visitor and cried bitterly, "Junior brother, today is my mother's sixtieth birthday. Senior brother is unfilial, so I can only worship from across the sea."
The night was dark and the sea breeze was howling. Zhang Ruoyue waited for a moment before communicating with Wuxu's spiritual consciousness and said with a sneer, "Just now I broke the restrictive barrier and hinted to him that my mother was concerned about my family. But he was indifferent and acted coquettishly.
Kneel on the ground and say something about worshiping from across the sea." After a pause, he sighed again, "Master Wuxu, please take him back." There was hatred and disdain in his tone.
Wu Xu, silently, stretched out his hand, took it into his Dharma Realm dojo, turned around and flew to the west.
Wuxu flew very fast, turned into a golden light, flew over the roaring sea wind, flew out of the bright moonlight, and flew out of the sky and the earth.
When Zhang Ruoyue came after him, he saw the mother and son in the fishing boat, but there was no trace of Wuxu.
The mother and son hugged each other and cried in the fishing boat. Zhang Ruoyue suddenly burst into tears. Her father, sister, and brother-in-law all died in the underworld. The seal of reincarnation is invisible. The underworld is hard to find. Lonely souls and wild ghosts are floating in the underworld.
Where can I find it in the human world?!
Under the moonlight, fish and shrimps swim in the water. A group of fish swims back and forth in groups; a group of shrimps swims back and forth in groups. Among them, there are big fish and small fish, big shrimps and small shrimps. If the parents
, like brothers, like sisters, swimming under the moon, playing in the water, free and enjoying themselves.
Zhang Ruoyue looked around again. The surroundings were empty and lonely, and Wuxu was nowhere to be found. Tears dropped like rain, falling into the sea; Zhang Ruoyue turned into a piece of moonlight, which fell into the sea.
She turned into a fish. She swam and swam near the small fishing boat. There were strange fishes, shrimps with long beards, fierce fishes in the distance, and shrimps that turned into monsters...
Zhang Ruoyue, without any fear, swam comfortably and happily.
A fish came close.
Zhang Ruoyue smiled and asked sadly, "Master Wuxu?" Wuxu looked at Zhang Ruoyue in the water and smiled.
The fish shook its tail and swam elsewhere.
As the saying goes
His limbs were thrown down and shaken in the water, his intelligence was deposed and he could not speak or smile.
The loving mother wanders, humans and demons, in the moonlight and misty waves, in total loneliness.
