Great Swordsman

passed away?

Huineng, is he really... dead?
Li Mu's pupils shrank, even though he had expected it, he was still shocked!
"Sir, birth, old age, sickness and death are natural... No, what I mean is..." Bai Sining wanted to comfort him, but halfway through the sentence, he remembered that Hui Neng was the number one in the dragon and tiger list, and the possibility of dying of illness and old age was very small. So he hurriedly changed his tune and said, "Well, sir, please express your condolences."

Li Mu took a deep breath, forced a smile on his face, and said, "I'm fine, don't worry."

He and Hui Neng have known each other for only three years, and the number of times they have met is even more few. If they pass away, they will pass away. What is there to mourn?
But why, do you feel so uncomfortable?
Li Mu looked down at the fine wine in his hand, took a sip, like drinking water.

"Sir?" Bai Sining looked at Li Mu like this, inexplicably feeling distressed.

"Li Mu, Li Mu, is the old monk dead?" The baby, who was eating and drinking, suddenly put down the roasted pig's trotters in his hand, and his two big watery eyes were filled with tears, as if they were about to burst the embankment in the next moment.

Li Mu touched her chubby head, and said softly, "He's not dead, but his soul has gone to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss, where he went to talk to the Buddha."

"Really?" Upon hearing this, the baby immediately withdrew the tears from her eyes, and immediately happily gnawed on the pig's trotters.

Seeing her heartless appearance, Li Mu didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

"I'll go for a walk." Li Mu put down his wine glass and walked out of the palace in silence.

"Mister..." Bai Sining wanted to catch up, but was stopped by Bai Shu: "Your Highness, please leave Mister alone."

"It's all my fault, which pot is left unopened and which pot to lift." Bai Qi blamed himself a little.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to blame yourself." Bai Shu glanced at him and said, "Master Huineng's death has been spread all over the world, sir, he will know sooner or later."

"Hey." Bai Qi sighed.

……

After walking out of the palace, Li Mu came to a garden. He walked among the flowers, feeling more and more depressed!

He realized that if he didn't do anything, his life would be difficult!
He looked down at the strange flowers in the garden and thought to himself: Master Huineng, although I helped you condense the relic, you also died because the relic was broken. One cause and one effect, it is even!

But you helped me several times, so I owe you favors!
This favor must be repaid, otherwise I will never forget you in my life, and you don't want me, a big man, to miss you all day long, do you?

I don’t know if the old Buddha said when it’s time to repay grievances, that’s all, just take it as he said, you wait, I will send the person who broke your relic to see the Buddha, so that he can resolve the hatred for you!
Thinking of this, Li Mu's mind was clear, and the knot was relieved on the spot!

So the question is, who broke Huineng's relic?

Peacock... Li Mu recalled the last conversation between him and Huineng. Although Huineng didn't admit it, there is a high probability that the peacock broke his relic!

But then Li Mu shook his head again.

Because the peacock did not practice Buddhism, how to break Huineng's relic?
Just like elementary school students who learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, how can they unravel the "tao mind" of college students who study advanced algebra?
There are several realms in between!

Therefore, the one who truly breaks the wisdom and relics must be a monk with profound Dharma!
Almost instantly, Li Mu thought of the fate of Qin Tianjian!

Talking in the meditation room that day, Huineng told Li Mu that Chen Yuan and Peacock both got the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Fundamental Vows" from him!
This shows that before the peacock, Huineng had seen the fate of the world!

"But Chen Yuan is Huineng's senior brother, and Huineng also handed over the Buddhist scriptures, so he has no reason to destroy Huineng's relics." Li Mu mused, "Or, because Chen Yuan broke Huineng's relics, Huineng had to hand over the Buddhist scriptures." ?”

No matter which one it is, Li Mu has to ask Chen Yuan to find out!
"If Chenyuan wants to unite the three Buddhas, he will definitely go to Sanchen. Instead of looking for him all over the world, I might as well find Sanchen first, and then wait for the rabbit!" Li Mu pondered: "But where is Sanchen?"

Because Sanchen was not tolerated by the Buddhist kingdom in the Western Regions, he wandered around and lived in no fixed place. The ghost knows where he is now.

"I don't know if the little drunkard knows..." Li Mu thought for a while, and decided to go to Peach Blossom Island to ask, what if the little drunkard really knew?

When Li Mu returned to the banquet, his mind had been completely put down.

After seeing it during the day, Bai Sining and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

After the banquet, Li Mu bid farewell: "I met Master Huineng once, and now that he passed away in bliss, I need to pay my condolences. My lord, Your Highness, farewell."

"Sir, are you leaving now?" Bai Sining was a little bit reluctant.

"Sir, why don't you stay here for a few days?" Bai Shu also persuaded, she felt that Master Huineng was a master of Taoism, and after his passing away, countless people from all over the world would go to mourn him, and the White Horse Temple would not cremate his body in a short time. So there is no time to go a few days later.

Li Mu thought about it and thought it made sense, so he refused.

If he didn't know the news of Huineng's death, it doesn't matter if he stayed for a few more days, but since he knew, staying for two more days is not authentic enough!
Li Mu couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart!

"Li Mu, Li Mu, I'll go too~" The doll was chubby after eating, and ran over to hug Li Mu's thigh.

During this period of time, she was fed up with big fish and meat every day. Now that she sees meat, she doesn't have such a good appetite as before. Therefore, she plans to go to the White Horse Temple to give up abstinence, and try to lose weight in her stomach. In this way, she Sure to revive the appetite! !
Li Mu handed the meat ball to Bai Sining in disgust, and said, "Going here may be dangerous, so the baby should stay here."

For simple condolences, it is no problem to bring a doll, the most is to cry when seeing Huineng's body.

But he still wants to find Chen Yuan, this guy is the one who predicted the power to revive spiritual energy, and got the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Fundamental Vow Sutra", if he has realized the great wish technique, he may have merged the past Buddha and the present Buddha into one, How can you bring a doll to deal with this kind of character?
Moreover, he will go to the Nine Heavens Peak in the future, and how to place the doll will be a problem at that time. It is not safe to put it in the Imperial Capital, and it is not good to carry it with him in a wooden bowl, because the wooden bowl will definitely not be able to withstand the terrifying weight under the Nine Heavens Peak. Nip!
When the baby heard the words, tears immediately rolled down: "Li Mu, don't you want me?"

She opened her mouth wide, and burst into tears just waiting for Li Mu to nod her head.

Li Mu said decisively: "It will take more than half a year to go to the White Horse Temple. If you can bear not eating a piece of meat for more than half a year, I will take you with me."

If you don't eat meat for more than half a year, won't you starve to death?
The doll was terrified, and the tears in her big eyes dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then, she ran up behind Bai Sining with lightning speed, her fleshy little hands tightly grasping the hem of Bai Sining's skirt, and then, she poked her head out cautiously, looking pitifully at him with her big eyes. Looking at Li Mu, he said, "Li Mu, I just said something wrong, don't take me away~"

The food in Nanzhao is good, so I don't want to go to the White Horse Temple to read scriptures.

Wawa is a man of integrity, he won't say anything!

"That's what you said." Li Mu sneered: Xiao Mian, I still can't cure you?
The baby chick nodded like pecking at rice.

'Pacify' the good baby, Li Mu left with the sword.

"Sir, be careful!" Bai Sining shouted from behind.

……

Nanzhao and Dagan are only separated by a Hengduan mountain range, Li Mu simply crossed directly with his sword in order to save time.

As for the demon country, except for the three major demon venerables, he doesn't pay attention to the other monsters at all.

But since you are going to pass through the demon country, let's go see your own crow brothers.

Li Mu's mouth curled up involuntarily when he thought of that thundercrow.

Getting acquainted with Lei Ya was completely accidental, and there was even a bit of evil in it, but later, Lei Ya did help Li Mu a lot.

Especially when the demon country invaded Dagan, it even sheltered Han Qingqian, Hua Jieyu, Lin Youjing and others.

Li Mu found the Nujiang River, went upstream along the Nujiang River, and arrived at the Shenniao Peak where Thunder Crow was located a day later.

Shenniao Peak is a steep mountain, with a big tree on the top of the peak, Thunderbird likes to rub its feathers on the tree on weekdays.

Li Mu lowered the Seven Star Longyuan and circled around the top of the Shenniao Peak, but he didn't find Lei Ya's figure.

Where did Brother Crow go?

Li Mu hovered around again, and found that although there were a large number of monsters within a hundred miles, almost all of them were small monsters below the [-]th level of Earth Sha, and those big monsters had all disappeared!

Is it in that place?

Li Mu suddenly remembered the huge bottomless fissure deep in the Hengduan Mountains.

Not surprisingly, that seam should be the lair of the big demon venerable at the end of the demon kingdom!

Speaking of which, Lei Ya once took Li Mu to pick black fruits beside the cracks in the ground.

Or, go and see?

The last time he fought against the Great Demon Venerable, he was still in the 64th realm of Earth Sha, but now, he is already in the third realm of Tiangang, which is a huge difference from that day.

I don't know what the big demon venerable is.

Li Mu was ready to move, and wanted to discuss with the Great Demon Lord, but considering that he had to mourn Huineng, he could only suppress his impulse.

After leaving a sword of his own on the big tree on the top of Shenniao Peak, Li Mu left with the sword.

Half a day later, Li Mu came to Taoxing Lake in Dagan Xihua County.

The peach apricot lake is printed with the blue sky, the clouds and water are the same color, sparkling.

On the small island in the middle of the lake, hundreds of peach trees are in full bloom, like a pink cloud, embedded in the mirror of the sky.

Li Mu went down with his sword, and before he landed on the island, he saw the little drunkard flying out of the island: "Engong, Engong, is that you?"

The little drunkard was wearing a pink peach blossom dress, with a delicate face and a pair of pure and lively eyes, like a clear spring in a mountain stream... If she didn't smell of alcohol.

"Little drunkard, did you just come out of the wine tank?" Li Mu lowered his sword light and covered his nose with his hands.

It's not that he dislikes little drunkards, it's that the smell of alcohol on her body is too strong, and it's very pungent.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Eunuch, but I'm doing this to make wine!" The little drunkard plausibly said that he got inspiration from monkey wine, so he asked people to collect various spirit flowers everywhere, hoping to brew Baihua wine!

The little drunkard said with bright eyes: "Grandfather, monkey wine is made from hundreds of kinds of spiritual fruits, and my Baihua wine is based on peach blossom wine and supplemented with hundreds of kinds of spiritual flowers. If it succeeds, it will definitely surpass Monkey Wine!"

Uh... Li Mu didn't know for a while whether to stop her or cheer her on.

I always feel that I am not doing my job properly... Li Mu scratched his head and said, "You just need to be happy, by the way, little drunkard, did Sanchen come to see you recently?"

The little drunkard shook his head: "No, Grandpa, I haven't seen him since the last time the three of us said goodbye."

"Then do you know where he is? Or is there any way to contact him?" Li Mu asked again.

The little drunkard still shook his head: "I don't know."

In the past, Sanchen traveled all over the world, and would come to her to beg for a drink from time to time, but after the demon kingdom invaded, he was never seen again.

"That's it." Li Mu secretly said it's a pity, but it's good, he can't find San Chen, and presumably Chen Yuan can't find it either...

and many more!

Li Mu's eyes suddenly lit up.

Maybe, I can find someone to pretend to be Sanchen and draw Chen Yuan out?
Li Mu stroked his chin and began to think about the feasibility of this plan.

"Is Engong looking for Master Sanchen for something?" The little drunkard asked curiously.

Li Mu came back to his senses and said, "If you see Sanchen, you must make him be careful!"

"Chenyuan..." The little drunkard was stunned suddenly, because she seemed to have heard this dharma name somewhere.

"What's wrong?" Li Mu was startled.

"Enggong asked me to think about it, I can remember it." The little drunkard knocked his head, his eyes lit up suddenly after half his salary, and he said in surprise: "I remember it! Eunuch, I have seen this fate before, When Yue Tiannu chased and killed a monk named Zhi Zhu, I was the one who rescued them!"

Zhizhu, Yuetiannu... Li Mu understood, it should have happened after the end of the Loulan Oasis Cave.

"I remember that monk named Chen Yuan took away ten altars of peach blossom wine from me." The little drunkard recalled.

Peach wine?
Li Mu's eyes flashed.

Although Chen Yuan left the White Horse Temple, he is an eminent monk who has attained the Tao, so it is impossible for him to drink without scruples like San Chen.

So this peach blossom wine must be begged for Sanchen!
"By the way, benefactor, this is this year's peach blossom wine, but it's fresh!" The little drunkard took out a few jars of peach blossom wine from the storage bag, and then said with some regret: "It's a pity that my Baihua wine hasn't succeeded, otherwise I would I can treat my benefactor to a drink!"

"It's okay, peach blossom wine is enough!" Li Mu took it with a smile, and was about to leave. After thinking about it, he said, "Little drunkard, if you can, you still have to work hard. By the way, what state are you in now?"

"I'm in the first realm of Tiangang now." The little drunkard said.

"???"

Li Mu was stunned, you have been making wine here all day long, how come you are in the sky?

Seeing that Li Mu didn't believe it, the little drunk quickly let go of his aura. Li Mu sensed it, and it really was a realm of heaven.

Moreover, the little drunkard's aura is majestic, vast, and ethereal like smoke, far surpassing those heavenly realms he encountered before!
"This is... what adventure do you have?" Li Mu was startled.

"Hehe." The little drunkard chuckled, and said, "After I was promoted to Earth Sha 72, I didn't want to practice at first, but I found out..."

She carefully looked around, then leaned close to Li Mu's ear, and said, "Grandfather, there are caves in the peach blossom formation!"

"How is it possible?" Li Mu's pupils shrank, "This..."

He couldn't understand, isn't this Peach Blossom Island a blessed place? How could it have turned into a cave?
Seeing that Li Mu didn't believe it, the little drunkard hurriedly said: "It's true, about half a year ago, a piece of peach blossom in the formation suddenly changed, frantically absorbing the aura of heaven and earth and the evil spirit of peach blossom in the ground, and finally, that piece of peach blossom became a The small world of the cave, I went in and absorbed a piece of Tiangang Qi."

Is this... OK?
The corner of Li Mu's mouth twitched, and he asked, "Has anyone else gone in?"

The little drunkard shook his head.

So, there are still four celestial qi in this small cave world?

Li Mu was overjoyed.

This is really drowsy and he came to the pillow, he was worried that his cultivation base was not high enough!
However, finding and absorbing Tiangang Qi is not something that will happen in a short while, Li Mu thought about it, and decided to mourn Huineng first.
