The vast and vast sea surface is undulating, and often no one can be seen. The strange copper coffin floats silently, the thick bronze color is hidden under the water, rippling slightly. Wisps of death are constantly emerging.
Come, entangled with water plants, lingering around the copper coffin. The two lines of inscriptions on the bottom of the coffin, reflected in the twists and turns of the sun, glow with the waves, as if whispering the deepest secrets in the world.
.
Wuxu suddenly let out a sigh. His spiritual consciousness could not detect anything unusual, so he planned to take it into his Dharma Realm Dojo. Unexpectedly, the copper coffin flashed with a gray light, like a deep-sea fish that had come alive, and the speed
Extremely fast, it then sank towards the water. Then it released streaks of gray death energy, making the surrounding sea turbid and dark, and the monks' spiritual consciousness quickly dissipated after entering it.
Wuxu knew in his heart that he had encountered a great treasure, so he notified Zhang Cuilu and others who were practicing, sacrificed a nine-leaf green lotus lantern, and chased after him. However, the copper coffin seemed to be frightened, and it moved faster and farther and farther away.
, getting smaller and smaller.
In the past few days, Wuxu's mind has been focused on the power of faith and wish. Seeing this situation, he suddenly thought that this copper coffin was probably a ghost treasure. He was very repelled by Buddhist monks like himself, even if he got it.
, I am afraid it is also extremely difficult to refine and use. After a little hesitation and delay, I saw that the copper coffin had completely disappeared under the sea after a few breaths.
Who has never died in life since ancient times? Death is the only thing that has been difficult throughout the ages. With some regret, Wuxu silently recited these two inscriptions in the copper coffin and returned to the sea. But he saw that the sea was covered with golden scales, and it turned out that the rising sun was rising in the east again. It turned out that
, chasing the copper coffin at the bottom of the sea, more than ten hours had passed without realizing it.
The morning breeze is crisp, the clouds and mist curl like a fairyland, and the seabirds in the distance spread their wings and fly, and their whole bodies seem to be coated with a faint golden glow. The continuous waves constantly hit the side of the ship, making a crisp sound. From time to time, there are sprays of water.
beads, splashing on the toes.
Wuxu stood on the deck, facing the red sun, silent and thoughtful. The sun still rose as usual! The sun and the moon were turning around, and the waves were beating back, like eternity, dividing yin and yang, hiding gathering and dispersing, but
And life and death are endless. The so-called life and death are just like the night and day, just like
The waves gather and disperse. For people in Buddhism, the so-called death of a person is just a new beginning. And the so-called nirvana is pure and does not enter reincarnation. In fact, it is also a new beginning. From this perspective, there is no such thing as
Death, is there any difference?...
Suddenly, there was an inexplicable darkness ahead, and a large cloud of dark green demonic energy floated out from the sky, and then several green sword lights fell down. It turned out that four Taoist priests were chasing three demonic cultivators. Those three demonic cultivators were obviously
At a disadvantage, they all showed their true colors. One of them was obviously a monster in the water. Without saying a word, he left his companions behind and dived directly towards the bottom of the sea. However, he saw the four Taoist priests holding swords in their hands and feet.
Stepping on the Xuanji, the four peach wood swords shot out the Qingming Sword Light, with a powerful momentum like a rainbow. One way to the east, one to the west, passed through the backs of the two demon cultivators, and a shower of blood suddenly flew into the air, with an extremely fishy smell; the other two
The road, facing north and south, submerged diagonally into the seabed. After a while, the sea surface churned and the color turned brown. Apparently, none of the three demon cultivators escaped, and they were all killed.
The four Taoist priests had a ruthless look on their faces. After killing the three demon cultivators, they still did not take back the peach wood swords in the air. Instead, they all looked in the direction of Wuxu.
Wuxu stood barefoot on the bow of the boat, with his large black robes fluttering in the wind. Seeing that the four Taoist priests were quite hostile, Wuxu stepped forward with a sullen face, crossed the side of the ship, and stepped on the waves, exaggerating the imposing manner of the real monks.
Open slightly.
The four Taoist priests, who were only in the realm of mortal cultivation, saw Wuxu's aura, and quickly put away their weapons, stood together, and bowed respectfully towards Wuxu. One of them, a man with a strange appearance, said in a clear voice, "
I was waiting to capture the demon cultivator all the way, but I didn’t know that my senior was here. I hope that my senior will forgive me for being reckless."
Wuxu nodded obediently. Seeing this, the four Taoist priests bowed again and then slowly flew towards the land to the west.
At this time, Zhang Cuilu and Cheng Song spoke excitedly from the nine-leaf green lotus lantern, "Master Wuxu, the Taoist robes worn by these four people, with green silk and dense cloud patterns, are exactly the attire of Qingjing Peak in Lushan Mountain.
"When Wuxu heard this, he also understood.
In the human world, all sects and sects have different clothes for the convenience of going out and doing things; even if they are both Buddhists and Taoists, but have different branches and sects, and different monasteries and Taoism, they still have the same similarities, but some
Some
Unique characteristics and subtle differences. Let’s take the Taoist sect’s clothing as an example. There are two major Taoist sects in the world, the Quanzhen sect and the Zhengyi sect. Although in the eyes of outsiders, they all wear black Taoist robes and hold fly whisks, but their fine details
Looking at it, there are obvious differences
Most of the Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect have robes with vertical and horizontal stripes of green silk, which will scatter a faint golden luster under the impact of the spiritual energy. The Taoist priests of the Zhengyi Sect, on the other hand, mostly wear robes with cloud edges, and when they fly
, it has the effect of gathering clouds to help. It just doesn’t
Later, the Quanzhen Sect and the Zhengyi Sect went to the Qingjing Peak of Lushan Mountain one after another. After temporarily putting aside the open and secret fights in the world, and reaching a reconciliation, they blended the characteristics of the two schools and unified the clothing of their disciples. These are the four Taoist priests just now.
The appearance of Taoist robes.
Wuxu had also heard of this allusion. When he heard Zhang Cuilu mention it, he immediately understood that most of the four Taoist priests came from Qingjing Peak in Lushan Mountain. There was nothing suspicious about this. The Taoist sect had been supporting Zhu Yuanzhang in Yingtian Mansion. But Zhang Cuilu and others
The next voice transmission made Wuxu suspicious.
It turned out that, except for Pan Ruoxue, Zhang Cuilu and others seemed to know the middle-aged Taoist priest who just spoke, and the more they spoke, the more certain and excited they became. According to Zhang Cuilu and others, this middle-aged Taoist priest, Taoist name Hua
Yun. At that time, Taoist priests were repeatedly killed in Lushan Mountain. Zhang Cuilu and others were killed.
As a remnant of the Xuanying Sect and a major suspect, he was captured by a team of Taoist priests sent by Qingjing Peak and went up the mountain. Among the people they took action and took into custody was Hua Yunzi. According to the memories of Zhang Cuilu and others, this Hua Yunzi was the whole person.
A direct disciple of Qiu Tongnan, the leader of the True Sect, the True Lord Qiankun, and also has a certain status in Qingjing Peak.
This is a bit strange. Among the Taoist sects, those who support Zhu Yuanzhang's Yingtian Mansion are mainly the Zhengyi Sect. The Quanzhen Sect is located in the northwest. When they were fighting openly and secretly with the Zhengyi Sect before, in order to take advantage of the situation, they colluded with Yuanting.
.and
After Yuan Ting's defeat was determined and Lushan Qingjing Peak was opened, the Quanzhen Sect changed its tune, abandoned Yuan Ting, and instead supported various rebel armies. However, the Zhengyi Sect Tianjizi understood the opportunity and made friends with Zhu Yuanzhang first. Quanzhen Sect changed its tune and abandoned Yuan Ting.
Teach and choose
Zhang Shicheng was selected as the key support target, and Yu Yingtian Mansion only sent some symbolic personnel. When the East China Sea Demon Army captured the southeast, Zhang Shicheng's power collapsed, and the Quanzhen Sect turned to support the Ming Dynasty in Bashu.
Yuzhen is here. In this case, it is a bit strange for the four Quanzhen Taoist priests Hua Yunzi to appear on this vast sea. The real people are not in the realm, so they flew over thousands of mountains and rivers to the East China Sea for no reason.
Kill three demon cultivators?
Wuxu smiled faintly and said to Zhang Cuilu and others, "This matter is quite strange. This Quanzhen Sect has some grievances with us. I want to follow up and have a look." As soon as Wuxu said this, everyone said
Yes, he followed his breath and quietly chased after him.
Hua Yunzi and four others were high in the sky in front of them, soaring into the clouds and mist. In a short time, they flew thousands of miles away. Wuxu and others were hiding in the void of the Dharma Realm. They followed slowly behind, observing secretly and suspiciously.
It's getting more and more prosperous. The four of them seem to have something special.
It was an emergency. Not only did he fly very fast, but he also encountered some stragglers from the East China Sea Monster Clan on the way without taking any action. Sometimes, when he met some demon cultivators with higher cultivation levels or people on the right path, they even threw all their weapons in order to avoid trouble.
Conceal your aura and take a detour!
"Sneaking around is definitely not a good thing!" Bi Lanlan and He Xiaohua said, which immediately attracted a chorus of agreement. The three of Lu Pingshan, Zhao Qiuhe, and Jiang Dingchun showed eagerness to try. They used the water in the sea snail.
With the power of faith and wish, his cultivation level improved rapidly. After he came out of seclusion, he saw Hua Yunzi and other Quanzhen Taoist priests who had tried to capture him in the past, and he already felt the desire to avenge himself.
Wuxu couldn't help but feel a little moved. The Zhen Sect attacked Lianfa Peak at night and almost killed all the Hualien Miaofa Sect. Wuxu had already vowed to avenge the Hualien Miaofa Sect. Although Hua Yunzi was not the culprit,
There must be cause and effect. Therefore, Wuxu nodded, "These four ghosts
"Sneaky, let's go find out first." Just as he was about to fly forward with everyone, he saw Hua Yunzi and the other four people suddenly flashed with green light, and then slowly stopped. At the same time, several monks
Under the leadership of a real monk, he flew quickly to the four people from further ahead.
Wuxu looked around and realized that he had almost arrived at the boundary of Yangzhou Mansion. At this moment, Yangzhou Mansion had been occupied by the Yingtian Mansion army. Hua Yunzi and the four of them must have been noticed by the real monks stationed here and flew away.
They came up to him and asked him. They said a few words to the real monk and then followed him towards Yangzhou Mansion.
When Wuxu and the others saw that other monks were there, they had no choice but to calm down and quietly entered Yangzhou City. From a distance, they "watched" the four of them follow the real monk into a building that looked like the city lord's palace.
Could it be that the four of them were really sent down to support the human army of Yingtian Mansion? With the opening of Haoran Peak, the power of the Confucian sect increased greatly. Zhu Yuanzhang took great credit, and Yingtian Mansion turned defeat into victory. Is the Quanzhen Sect going to change its ways again? But they
Why did they suddenly appear in the East China Sea? It was very strange to fly all the way and be so hidden. And just now, they suddenly stopped. It was obviously because they noticed that there were real monks patrolling ahead and were intercepted.
Yangzhou Prefecture deserves to be a famous capital in the world. Even though it has been devastated by war, the city still has a large population. The Donghai Monster Clan has just retreated, and the Yingtian Mansion Human Clan has just entered. The atmosphere is very tense. There are many restaurants, teahouses, inns and shops in the city.
They are all still open for business as usual, and it feels like they are running around and dancing.
Wuxu, Zhang Cuilu and others found a luxurious teahouse opposite the majestic palace-like building and sat by the window, drinking tea while waiting for the four people to come out.
Suddenly, there was a noise downstairs. War horses sneezed, swords collided inadvertently, and there was the sound of uniform footsteps. After a while, a group of sergeants rushed up. In front of them, a leader with a fleshy face and armor,
Holding a steel knife stained with blood in one hand, and holding a person's collar in the other, he shouted viciously, "Who are your accomplices?!"
The man was originally tall and slender, but at this moment he was like a prawn that was about to be cooked. He was curled up, his legs were swaying, and he was cradling his chest. He stretched out his trembling right hand and weakly pointed at a tea man.
Guest, I stammered for a long time, but couldn't utter a single word.
The leader loosened his fingers and pushed lightly with his palm, and the man rolled to the ground like a ripe bitter melon, motionless. The leader flew up with a kick and kicked the man into the air, and then the steel in his hand
The knife shook towards the identified person and shouted, "Take them all down!"
The sergeant, who was like a wolf and a tiger, rushed over with the steel knife, grabbed all the tea guests at the table, and put the knife on their necks.
"Unjustly accused!" Suddenly, someone screamed in horror. Only the person who had just been identified held his head stubbornly. A cold light flashed, and the man's head flew into the air, with a face full of anger and anger.
Unwilling to give in, the teahouse that was originally filled with the aroma of tea was suddenly overwhelmed by the smell of blood everywhere, and screams of terror finally started to appear one after another.
"This person took refuge in the demon clan and committed evil crimes without mercy! He has now been executed on the spot!"
The team leader shouted angrily. The tea guests fell silent again. It was not until the sergeants escorted the tea guests at the same table who had just been executed on the spot and went downstairs. Everyone woke up one after another.
Some put their palms together and recited Amitabha Buddha, some touched their chests and shouted long live the King of Wu, some held the teapot and drank without mentioning it...
When Wuxu saw this, he couldn't help but shake his head. However, he heard some tea guests holding up their teacups, sighing, and talking in low voices. After listening for a while, Wuxu realized that this was Yingtian Mansion's army, who had served for the people before the arrest.
A human spy and traitor who works for the East China Sea Monster Clan.
Perhaps they were intimidated by the naked threat just now, these tea guests quickly turned the topic to the victorious party, Zhu Yuanzhang Yingtian Mansion. What are "human spies and traitors"? It is difficult to say, it is easy to violate taboos, and attract people.
A fatal disaster. But when it comes to Zhu Yuanzhang's Yingtian Mansion, everyone speaks in unison, with a tone of reverence, an expression of worship, and endless admiration.
Some people say that when the human race is about to prosper, heroes like Zhu Yuanzhang will be born, reappearing the heroic appearance of the human emperor, flying on the dragon, leading the human race to fight against the monster clan in the East China Sea, and turning defeat into victory.
Some say that when the human race flourishes, Confucianism should also prosper. That Zhu Yuanzhang, pointed by the sword of benevolence, made all people face each other, moved the heaven and earth, and all evils retreated. It was the great righteousness of Confucianism that condensed the belief of all people in self-improvement, the most refined and pure
, perfect and beautiful.
Some people also say that Zhu Yuanzhang is actually a star in the sky. In these troubled times, he came down to the mortal world under the orders of the Jade Emperor to save all the people from hanging upside down. That night, at the critical moment of the showdown between the human army and the demon clan in the East China Sea, Zhu Yuanzhang appeared from the sky, thousands of feet tall.
The golden body, the stars shining everywhere in every movement of his hands and feet are proof of this.
...
Wuxu remained silent and frowned slightly. That night, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly appeared and broke into the formation of demon monks in the East China Sea alone, dealing with Ao Bai and other true spirit monks. It was extremely dangerous. In the end, he did not hesitate to use the real dragon
The spirit of the emperor absorbs the energy of all peoples
His vitality, spirit, and even his whole life were completely disregarded by human life. And, in the final analysis, the reason why he was like this was just because Haoran Peak needed a huge amount of so-called Haoran righteousness. But he didn't expect that afterwards, there were rumors like this
and discussion.
Zhang Cuilu and others sitting next to her were on Putuo Island in the East China Sea, hiding in the nine-leaf green lotus lantern and concentrating on their spiritual practice, but they had never witnessed the scene with their own eyes. They gathered around their own small round tables, drinking tea comfortably while being trance-like.
Listening to these tea guests, they were talking about each other and described vividly, and unconsciously showed a hint of admiration. After all, except for Pan Ruoxue, Zhang Cuilu, Lu Pingshan, Bi Lanlan, He Xiaohua, etc., they were all from the human race.
The more enthusiastically and concretely these tea guests spoke, and the more vividly they spoke, the deeper Wuxu's brows deepened. Some details and some words cannot be described by people who have not personally experienced them or are not high-level monks. It can be seen that they are
Some people are secretly spreading such rumors, and the most likely ones are the monks from Yingtian Mansion.
Gradually, unknown anger arose in Wuxu's heart. Not only did his brows frown, but his face also darkened. Wuxu admitted that he was a little envious and jealous for no reason. His fellow disciples were now regarded as the reincarnation of the Human Emperor and were respected by everyone.
The praise goes to the heavens. But Wuxu is even more annoyed, and what he cares more about is that Ying Tianfu, as one of the parties involved, has such clever words, false pretenses, boasts, creates myths, and fools the world.
There was a bang! Someone came over and placed the teacup in front of Wuxu heavily. The hot tea splashed all over the table.
Wuxu secretly stopped Zhang Cuilu and others who were about to get up, and looked up at the person in front of them. This man had a capable figure and eyes as sharp as a sword. After he put down the tea cup, he sat down opposite Wuxu without saying a word.
He looked at Wuxu with a solemn face.
"This man, is he dissatisfied with King Wu?" After a moment, this man seemed to have looked at Wuxu all over, acted as if nothing had happened, and began to ask questions. Although his voice was soft, his tone was completely
Interrogating prisoners from a high position.
This person must be a secret agent under Zhu Yuanzhang. Wuxu once again stopped Zhang Cuilu and others, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head again, faced the person, and said, "How dare I be disrespectful to the King of Wu?"
"Then why are you drooping your face and not smiling at all?!" The secret agent's meaning was very clear. Everyone was talking about how brave King Wu was and how the human race was prospering. The atmosphere was warm and the conversation was very enjoyable.
.Why don't you smile? Not only don't you smile, but you frown, as if everyone in the world is in your debt.
At this time, all the tea guests on this floor heard this person's heart-wrenching question. They all stopped and stared at this person and Wuxu silently. There were also a few bold ones who shouted to Wuxu.
, "God bless the human race, there will be another human emperor, and you will return home from all over the world, but you are dejected and look angry. Are you also a demon?!"
Wuxu then laughed.
The secret agent also smiled, but his smile was uglier than crying, as if he was suffering from epilepsy and would have an attack at any time, and it would get out of hand.
Wuxu, but did not look at him or care about him. He turned sideways and looked out the window. Outside the window, the golden crows slanted, the sky was full of mellow red, and the small building was dyed. If he did not go out of the building, or he would not deliberately stick his head out.
Outside the window, if you don't look at where the red sun is, or you don't know the direction from east to west, it is infinitely beautiful, just like the morning, almost indistinguishable.
"The sun rises and sets, life and death continue, there is no difference. The sun is always there, life and death are just an illusion." Wuxu suddenly smiled at Zhang Cuilu and others and said, "Tathagata, Tathagata, Tathagata, Tathagata, go as you believe.
, as life, as death, as true as false, as true as false."
At this time, Hua Yunzi and four others walked out from the city lord's mansion opposite, crossed the street, and walked towards an inn next to the tea house.
Wuxu stood up slowly, and left the table with Zhang Cuilu and others while saying with a smile, "God bless the human race, and the human emperor will be born again, and he will be able to return to his heart from all over the world. How great and good it is."
The group of nine people chanted and walked, and soon went down the stairs and left the teahouse.
As the saying goes
Before I realized my faith, I would not tie up the boat, and I saw a bronze coffin floating on the sea.
The sunrise and sunset fill the building with red. What do Tathagata and Tathagata wish for?
