Heroes of the Fantasy World

Chapter 69
(10)

After the Miao girl Mengdie left, the surroundings were silent for a moment, and everyone seemed to be still immersed in the tragic incident that the broken monk Juexin just told.Even if it was just oral, but seeing Jue Xin's extremely abnormal reaction, all the people around were moved by it, and even a few monks who had tried to sweep away people with brooms had their eyes wet.Perhaps only their monks can best understand the pain of the mind.

Just imagine if a person has extraordinary abilities and knowledge, and when he tries to use them to help the world, he is hindered by various conventions and precepts.Such contradictory, yet so bloody facts are in front of us, all we can do is to try our best to follow our hearts!
"Uh...cough, cough!" The old monk in front of the Buddha Pagoda coughed twice, causing everyone to look at him, "Master Yang, why do you need to go up the mountain this time?"

Yang Ji seemed to have regained his senses and said, "Back... Back to Master, one of Yang's reasons for going up the mountain this time is to say goodbye to Master Xuanqing; the other is to introduce you to some friends behind me..." After speaking, Yang Ji stepped aside and gestured for Bai Feng to come forward and introduce himself.

After introducing them one by one, Xuanqing's eyes were not among the two who went up the mountain to ask for directions, but stayed on the boy carrying the sword for a long time, and said, "Master Yang's friend must not be a simple person, right? Especially This Bai Shaoxia, the weapon on your body, the old monk, I always think I have seen it somewhere."

"Sword?" After Bai Feng heard this, he immediately untied the sword from his waist, held it in both hands, and replied, "Master Xuanqing, do you recognize this sword?"

Xuan Qing took a close look at the dark purple scabbard, and when his eyes moved to the ancient words on the top of the scabbard, his bloated eyes stared again, and he immediately said in disbelief, "Hahaha...I can't imagine that I can still see the old monk alive. This sword once! Bai Shaoxia, can you recognize the inscription on the scabbard?"

"I do, of course I do!" Bai Feng nodded again and again, excited.Because he had already predicted in his heart that the elderly monk in front of him might know the life of his master!

"Did the 'White Snake Immortal' and Bai Shaoxia know each other?"

"I know him! He's my master, the one who taught me both literature and martial arts!" The boy holding the sword in both hands beamed with joy, as did Murong Yan next to him.

At the same time, the noble son Ganxi on the side also jumped up and walked to Bai Feng's side, exclaiming: "It turns out that Bai Gongzi is the master of the 'White Snake Immortal'! I often see this person in the county annals everywhere: It is said that he is highly skilled in martial arts and proficient in all aspects of martial arts. The most special thing is that he is often accompanied by a white snake! Some people even witnessed the wonders of his martial arts confrontation with the white snake, hence the name 'White Snake Immortal' '."

"Hahaha..." Xuanqing's shriveled laughter reached everyone's ears again, "Young Master Gan is so knowledgeable and talented! He actually knows all these things clearly! Speaking of which, why did you and your wife find out, Master? Where is the Swallow Pond?"

Mei Niang bowed to her body, gave a thousand blessings, and replied: "Master Xuanqing, it is true, the slave family and the son are being hunted down and may die at any time. The two who just left... are The two killers among them... It's just that Master Jue Xin is kindhearted, and the slave family was lucky enough to save his life."

"Oh... It turns out that there is such a fate." Xuanqing murmured: "The old monk sees that this Qingliang Temple is also quite clean and secluded, and the two of you can take a break again for a while."

"Master, Qingliang Temple is a well-known temple. There are so many capable people under the eunuch's hands, and they will come here to investigate without too much doubt. Besides, if it is because of the two of us, everyone in Qingliang Temple is implicated. Monks, I'm really sorry for this!" Gan Xi bowed deeply and said in a bow.

Xuanqing shook his head and sighed, and said, "It's just that the mountain road leading to Yanzitan was destroyed by natural disasters a few years ago. If the necessary herbs were not grown there, the monks of this temple would not dare to take risks easily!"

Yang Ji on the side is also admonishing: "Master Xuanqing's concerns are not unreasonable! Since the two are fleeing for their lives, they can't take this risk lightly!"

After Ganxi and Mei Niang heard it, the thought of going to Yanzitan disappeared.I had no choice but to thank others for their hard work and running around, and then signaled that I would find another place to avoid and survive.Although Master Xuanqing verbally assured that Qingliang Temple would protect them, he actually knew in his heart that this kind of protection would not last too long, so he would not waste his words to keep them.

After some conversation and dialogue, although the results were not satisfactory, the harvest was not lost.When several guests were all saying goodbye, Xuan Qing unexpectedly deliberately left Bai Feng alone.The smile on his face was extraordinarily warm, as if he was facing an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, he looked at the young man and the sword in front of him.

"Bai Shaoxia, please come with me." After Xuan Qing said, he slowly stood up and greeted all the monks around him.Then, even holding his meditation staff, he walked to the Buddha Tower step by step.

The young man followed behind with a sword in his right hand, looked at the trembling figure of the abbot, and tried to bully him several times to help him.It's just that Master Xuanqing always replied to him in a childlike tone: "I'm just walking slowly, but I'm not unable to walk!" As a result, the two of them walked that short distance for a long time.

Entering the pagoda gate, I saw the candles flickering on both sides, slightly concealing the small Bodhisattva next to it, and everything else was pitch black, so the light outside the other arched pagoda gate at the end of the road was particularly bright and dazzling. .The young man's eyes wandered among the clay sculptures of different shapes while answering Xuan Qing's question.

"Bai Shaoxia, where did you get this sword?"

"I got it from the young master of the Shi family... um, now it's time to call the master of the Shi family!"

"Oh! I'm afraid I've encountered a lot of things along the way, right?"

"Yes, many things are unheard of before..."

"You must really want to know what kind of person your master is?"

"Well! How does Master Xuanqing know what I'm thinking?"

"Hahaha... that master of yours always likes to pretend to be a ghost, so he definitely won't tell you everything! He didn't even tell you the name of the kung fu he taught, did he?"

"Uh...it seems like..."

Between the words, the two had already passed through the radiant arch.Unexpectedly, behind this gate is a cliff of ten thousand feet, and this Buddha pagoda was built a few feet away from the cliff.There is a stone fence on the edge of the cliff, forming a small half circle between the Buddha tower and the pagoda, which is just enough for two warriors to compete.

Abbot Xuanqing led Bai Feng to the edge of the fence, looked at the abyss below, and said, "Your master, who was here back then, threw down the sword on your body with his own hands."

"What?" Bai Feng looked at the short and lush look below, and said in amazement, "Master, why did he do this?"

"I don't know why the old monk. After he threw it down, he only sighed to me, 'Too many innocent people died under this sword, but he didn't kill the most damned one, it's just scrap metal', and then he walked away Go..." Xuanqing looked at the Long Mingjian on the boy's body, and continued to recall: "I only remember that when he left, his beard and hair had become snow-white, and he was much older than when he first came... Maybe he is Let go of everything in the past, right?"

"Master... what did he put down?" Bai Feng couldn't help but look at the sword in his hand, thinking about all the stories about the sword in his heart, but he still had no clue.

"This... I'm afraid you'll have to find the answer yourself. The old monk just knows that your master must be an amazing person. His conversation and knowledge are extraordinary, and he has a lot of research on Taoism. He can follow Coming to the door with the name 'Xuanqing' can be regarded as worthy of me!"

Seeing that Master Xuanqing was so humble, Bai Feng replied, "Senior like Master Xuanqing looks down on Master so much, but I don't even know his name..."

"Don't be discouraged, I don't know about the old monk!" After Xuanqing said, he pushed Bai Feng's arm and came to the center of the "little competition arena". Seeing the embarrassment of the young man, he couldn't help laughing again. : "Hahaha, you are far worse than your master like this! Now, draw your sword and use the most powerful move on me!"

After Bai Feng heard it, she was stunned for a while, and her doubts were evident, and she said, "What... what's going on?"

I saw that Xuan Qing ignored the other party's question and bowed his cane in front of him.Although the smile on his face was still there, there was no joking laugh.

"Master Xuanqing? What exactly does this mean?" Bai Feng was at a loss. Although strange things had happened frequently along the way, he had never thought about attacking such a person by himself.

"This is the rule set by your master. No matter who appears in front of me with this sword, they must stand the test: use the Longming sword in your hand to stab me in the chest! If not, you You have to accept the fate of this sword falling into a cliff again!"

"Uh? Why are there such rules? I have no grievances with Master Xuanqing, and I will never take your life, Master!"

"Stop talking nonsense! If you don't make a move, then let me do it!" After Xuan Qing said, he waved his stick and hit Bai Feng, who was still unmoved. With a "bang" sound, the Long Mingjian was shot into the air, and after crossing a parabola, it fell towards the cliff.
