Chapter 294 Reincarnation

Gong Er let go of Yi Jushi as he was told, but he kept mumbling: "Should we tie him up? Senior Brother Wen, this person will attack by surprise. What he said now is nice. When we get to Shenxia Island, maybe he will By being familiar with the environment, we can give it to us casually."

Yi Jushi's face turned red after hearing this. Just when he was about to retort, Wen Guying took the lead and said, "No need." He picked up the oar and started rowing the boat with very skillful movements.

After the boat sailed out along the circle of light, he said, "Jushi Yi, we came here rashly and you don't know our identity. It's normal for you to misunderstand us."

"Are you really a monk from the Four Gods Palace?" Master Yi asked.

"It's true, so are they." Wen Guying pointed at Gong Er and Pang San.

"Where is he?" Yi Jushi looked at Li Chuan.

"He is an official of Qin Tian Jian." Wen Guying said.

"Qin Tianjian?" Yi Jushi looked unbelievable at first, and then he seemed to have thought of something and said: "It seems that a month or two ago, several of my friends were called for questioning by the government. They said that there were Qin Tianjian inside. People from the Heavenly Prison.”

"Sishen Palace and Qintian Prison, what are you investigating?" Yi Jushi asked.

Wen Guying said: "Have you ever heard of the Xuantai Spiritual Light Society?"

Yi Jushi shook his head, "No. I...I don't know much about things outside."

"That is a grand event held once every ten years by Xuanmen. The last time it was held, it was last summer, but bad guys sneaked in, which almost caused irreparable consequences." Wen Gu told layman Yi the truth and said: "One of them The bad guy, he claims to be a disciple of the Divine Heroes."

"How could it be?" A trace of confusion flashed across Yi Jushi's face, and then he asked, "What's his name?"

Wen Guying returned: "Lao smiled, have you heard of this name?"

Yi Jushi was silent.

Li Chuan sat at the stern of the boat. He listened to the conversation between Wen Guying and Yi Jushi, and paid attention to everything around him.

It was pitch black all around, with no other light source except the halo of light in the river.

And the rain is still falling.

But I don’t know whether it’s because this small wooden boat can isolate the wind and rain, or because Wen Guying used some tricks, not a drop of rain fell in.

The raindrops touched the water and caused ripples, which merged with the water waves caused by the boat's forward movement.

Li Chuan looked forward as hard as he could, trying to see the outline of an island or something else. However, there was only endless darkness in front of him. The sky and the water seemed to be one, completely indistinguishable.

"Lao Xiaoxiao, he came back here probably thirteen years ago." Yi Jushi finally spoke.

Wen Guying asked: "Thirteen years? Have you never come back during this time?"

Master Yi said: "Yes, otherwise, there would probably be one or two more people coming to the temple today."

Li Chuan calculated the time in his mind. Thirteen years would be the time Lao Xiao said he would land on the island.

Yi Jushi said: "No matter what he did outside, it has nothing to do with Shenxia Temple. He told you about Shenxia Island. In my opinion, he may have deliberately led you astray."

In and out of his words, he had an attitude of wanting to clear up the relationship with Lao Xiaokai.

"You mean the Shenxia Sect has nothing to do with the Shenxia Temple?" Wen Guying asked.

"It can't be said that it doesn't matter at all." Yi Jushi considered his sentence and said: "The Shenxia Temple is a place where believers worship the Shenxia. The Shenxia Sect is what those people call themselves. Originally, the Shenxia just chose one or two people who were destined to be there. , granting them magic power and letting them perform good deeds on their behalf. But those people have monopolized these, and not only do things in a procrastinating manner, but they often even defraud believers of their money."

Yi Jushi had obviously been dissatisfied with the Shenxia Sect for a long time. He said, "The Shenxia Sect is just their self-proclaimed name and has nothing to do with the Shenxia or the Shenxia Temple." "I see." Wen Guying nodded, and then asked, "Yi Layman, can you tell us your origin now?"

"I...I'm just an ordinary bamboo behind the Shenxia Temple," Yi Jushi said, looking into the distance.

He said: "At that time, the Dragon King was dissatisfied with the believers who built a temple for the Shenxia by the Qinshui Lake, so he flooded the temple with water. After the Shenxia learned about this, he glanced down from the fairy world, and I opened my spiritual wisdom."

"Three days after Shenxia saved the believers and punished the Dragon King, Shenxia entrusted me with a dream and asked me to be the gatekeeper of Shenxia Island. He also told me that he would choose a destined person to walk the world for him."

"After I woke up from the dream, exquisite murals appeared on both sides of the walls of the Shenxia Temple, and I immediately understood my mission."

In Yi Jushi's mouth, Shenxia seems like a normal god.

"Have you always looked like this?" Wen Guying asked.

"No," Yi Jushi said, "I didn't lie to you before. I am indeed a mortal who received the favor of the hero. A part of me has been reincarnated."

"How to reincarnate?" Wen Guying asked.

"I will be reincarnated nearby and live a normal life," Yi Jushi explained: "I have passed the imperial examination, been an official, and begged on the street. I will always come back here."

"How many times have you been reincarnated?" Wen Guying continued to ask. Li Chuan could hear some caution in his tone.

"This is the seventh time."

"Do you have to go to the Temple of Gods and Seekers every time to seek medical treatment?"

"Only in this life. The other times, I came here by chance and then woke up." Yi Jushi said: "And the other part of me has been practicing quietly in the Shenxia Temple, occasionally sending it to the destined person, and later became the Shenxia The disciples come to the island."

"After you wake up, will you choose to live in the Shenxia Temple forever?" Wen Guying asked.

"Most of the time, yes. Only once, I didn't die in the temple." Yi Jushi replied, "Every time I wake up, my soul will be unified, and my cultivation will be greatly improved. Maybe this is the magic power of God." That’s Xia’s intention.”

"The Tao of Reincarnation." Wen Guying murmured softly.

Yi Jushi didn't hear Wen Guying's words clearly, so he asked: "What?"

Wen Guying shook his head and said, "I thought of something."

At this time, Li Chuan asked: "Did you always go to Shenxia Island by boat before?"

"What did he tell you?" Yi Jushi turned to look at Li Chuan.

"He said that if you find the golden light at the bottom of the lake, you can land on the island." Li Chuan replied, "He's not lying to us, is he?"

After hearing this, Master Yi said: "He didn't lie to you. If you catch the golden light, you can indeed go to the island. It's just that the golden light contains the power of thunder."

"You also have a companion, isn't he going to the bottom of the lake to look for the golden light?" Yi Jushi remembered what Wen Guying said before.

He said: "The golden light will pass through the lake from time to time, so the intelligent aquarium in the lake will leave here and go to other places."

The boat suddenly stopped, and the road paved with candlelight came to an end. In the darkness, there was only one light, which was the light emitted by the ruby ​​on the hilt of Wen Guying's sword.
