Day and night tour

Chapter 296 Seven-Leaf Treasure
"What? The person who made the Hell King's divination is my disciple?"

Yun Ziliang put the white piece in his hand back into the chess basket and walked towards Zhou Xuan in two steps.

Peng Sheng looked dejected and lamented, "If I hold on a little longer, I will be able to slay Taoist Master Yun's dragon..."

Yun Ziliang did not think that he was afraid of losing and that was why he did not make any moves. He seemed not to have heard any complaints. He pulled up a stool and sat down next to Zhou Xuan. He first asked Zhao Wuya, "What fortune did you ask Xuanzi to tell?"

"How would I know? I was not conscious at the time. I simply thought it was because of the heavy workload of searching for dragons that I was exhausted and confused."

"Go away, lazy dog."

Yun Ziliang was now angry when he saw Zhao Wuya, and asked Zhou Xuan: "What did he say when he was telling fortunes?"

Zhou Xuan thought about it and told Zhao Wuya what he had said at that time...

"Sir, listen to my troubles in this world. Who am I and where do I want to go? No one is perfect. If I have made a mistake, how can I make amends?"

At that time, "Zhao Wuya" seemed to be trapped mentally and could only make long stories short... so short that it sounded like a "riddle".

"The disturbance of the red dust."

Yun Ziliang kept repeating this phrase, and after thinking for a long time, he asked Zhao Wuya: "Who are you?"

"I am Yazi."

"Where do you want to go?"

"Come to Dongshi Street to find the Dongshan Fox Lady."

"No one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. What mistakes have you made?" Yun Ziliang asked again.

"The biggest mistake I made was that I was too handsome and beautiful. No matter where I appeared, I could always attract the attention of beautiful women and their hearts. But I couldn't give them anything.

I have wasted the lives of many beauties in this world."

Zhao Wuya said narcissistically.

"How do you make up for it?"

"When I see through the world, I will become a monk and live my life in seclusion, with a green lamp and a broken scroll, chanting sutras for the rest of my life - women in the world cannot see my peerless beauty, so naturally they will no longer entrust their hearts to me, wasting their youth in vain, Amitabha."

Zhao Wuya is really into the role, and really thinks of himself as a romantic gentleman. He can even make up for all the boasts he made. He is really a talent.

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Yazi, you are wasting your talent by joining Xunlong Hall. Why don't you go to Pingshui Prefecture and perform crosstalk under the overpass? Do you know "Ba Ma Gua"? It needs talents like you."

"What's the matter with the 'Ba Ma Gua'? What I just said was all sincere and from the bottom of my heart."

Zhao Wuya was heartbroken - I wanted to turn my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon only shines on the ditch.

Zhou Xuan was completely amused by his serious appearance and laughed while eating pastries.

Yun Ziliang's expression was serious, without the slightest smile.

"Yazi, this bastard, seems to have a Buddha living inside his body."

"Lao Yun, are you taking it seriously? He's just bragging."

"There are thousands of ways to brag in this world, why did Yazi choose 'retreat into Buddhism, worship the Buddha with a green lamp'?"

Yun Ziliang asked back.

Zhou Xuan chewed it and finally tasted some of the flavor.

Yes, if it were anyone else, they could brag that they were invincible in the world, or that they were high-ranking officials, but Zhao Wuya boasted that he wanted to attain enlightenment under the green lamp.

How could he brag like that?

"That means the person who asked for the divination was originally a Buddhist. In this way, it makes sense that Yazi was born with a great affinity with Buddha."

Yun Ziliang said after some hesitation.

However, Zhao Wuya stared at Yun Ziliang's eyes very seriously with a sincere look.

"Why are you looking at me?" Yun Ziliang asked.

"Grandpa Master, you finally acknowledged that I am a person with great affinity with Buddha."

"..." Yun Ziliang.

Yun Ziliang said impatiently: "I was talking to you about the city gate tower, and you were talking to me about the hip axle. Now you are talking about whether it is a Buddhist fate or not?"

"Do you admit that I have a great affinity with Buddha?"

"roll!"

Yun Ziliang scolded angrily.

Zhou Xuan asked, "Lao Yun, what do you think of my divination? Suppose there really is a Buddha living in Yazi's body."

The first hexagram cast by the King of Hell was like a riddle, and Zhou Xuan found it difficult to find any clues from that hexagram.

"There is a way to draw out the Buddha in Yazi's body."

"How do you hook?"

"Close your eyes to the Buddha, and when you see a great Buddha, you will open your eyes. Do not listen to the Buddha, and when you hear the Buddha's voice, you will prick up your ears to listen.

Let's find a Buddhist artifact and show it to Yazi. Then the Buddha in him might react."

"Then there's no need to look for it. I have it right here."

Zhou Xuan said.

"What Buddhist artifacts do you have?"

"Wash away the injustice."

Zhou Xuan said.

According to the wine-cooking monk, his Wicked Relics Talisman was something from a Taoist priest in heaven.

According to Lord Jian, it was the thing of the Taoist priest under the Green-robed Buddha.

But according to Miss Qiang's analysis, the Cleansing Wrongs Talisman seems to have the aura of ancient Buddha.

In short, this talisman has a profound origin and is a rare artifact in the Jingguo Buddhist sect. In the world of time and space, the Green-Robed Buddha even has to rely on the arrival of a Taoist priest and risk his own death to snatch it.

"That thing is too precious... Show it to Yazi... I'm afraid..."

Yun Ziliang actually wanted to let Zhao Wuya take a look at it, but he was worried that the treasure was too eye-catching. If someone with ulterior motives took notice of it, they would come and snatch it away.

But Zhou Xuan trusted Zhao Wuya. He took out the Wrong-Clearing Scroll from his coat pocket, placed it on his palm, and said, "Yazi, can you see this thing?"

In the past few days, every time Zhou Xuan used the Cleansing Wrongs Talisman, he would turn his back to everyone, not to guard against Yun Ziliang and the others, but to guard against the connection with the ancient clan.

This time, he could show it to Zhao Wuya openly.

When the talisman book was revealed, Zhao Wuya's eyes widened and he asked, "The talisman for clearing the wrongs and returning to the palace?"

The full name of the Xiyuan Lu is "Xiyuan Huidian Lu", and the name is written on the cover.

“You can see it.”

Zhou Xuan said.

Only people with a strong Buddhist spirit can see this talisman. Lady Red Coffin and Lord Arrow are not Buddhists, and even with their high religious beliefs, they cannot see this talisman.

Zhao Wuya just watched from a distance. After a few glances, his eyes became like a different person.

There was a pool of extremely deep spring water in his eyes, unlike Zhao Wuya's original clear gaze.

After his eyes changed, he sat on the lotus throne, his body straight, his eyes closed, only his nose wings twitched slightly.

The movement was very rhythmic, and the pages of the book of cleansing injustice began to turn over by themselves along with the rhythm.

There seemed to be a breeze blowing the pages of the book.

Qingfeng can't read, so why bother flipping through books?
The breeze brought by the fluttering of Zhao Wuya's nostrils seemed not to recognize words, it was smelling something.

"It smells like a junior fellow apprentice."

Zhao Wuya said calmly.

"Junior brother?"

Zhou Xuan felt that the term "junior brother" must not be referring to himself.

After he came to Jingguo, he did not have much contact with Buddhism - he only lectured to the Lotus Goddess of Pingshui Prefecture.

"Junior brother? The junior brother you are talking about is the wine-cooking master?"

Zhou Xuan asked "Zhao Wuya", since he got the book of clearing injustices, only one person has touched this book - the monk who cooks wine in Qiye Temple.

Zhao Wuya did not reply, but just kept saying: "It is Junior Brother's scent, there is no mistake... Junior Brother, are you doing well now?"

Zhou Xuan did not respond, but pulled the White Bone Monk out from the secret realm.

The White Bone Monk was made from the bones of the "Wine-Boiling Monk".

If Zhou Xuan wants to go down the Blood Well and go back to ancient times, he has to rely on the "White Bone Monk" as his lifeline. Once he is under the Blood Well and encounters danger, the White Bone Monk will pull him out and save his life.

As soon as the White-Bone Monk appeared,

Zhao Wuya clasped his hands together, sighed and said, "Hundreds of years have passed, and Junior Brother has finally become a pile of bones, but the old grudges have never disappeared.
Junior brother, I am sorry for you."

At this point, "Zhao Wuya" actually knelt down and kowtowed deeply to the monk who was cooking wine.

"It is indeed Venerable Qiye."

Zhou Xuan recalled that some time ago, when Zhao Wuya came out of Huifeng Medical College and passed by the small temple of "Seven Leaves Venerable", he spent money to go in and burn incense.

After burning incense, strange changes occurred in Zhao Wuya's body, and the incense intensity became higher and lower.

"I have tarnished the Buddha's name, so how dare I mention his former fame again."

"Stop talking nonsense." Zhou Xuan didn't have a good impression of "Seven Leaf Venerable".

In other words, "Seven Leaves Venerable" is in Zhao Wuya's body, otherwise Zhou Xuan would have to take action to deal with him first.

This Seven-Leaf Venerable,
He was once the most eminent monk in Qiye Temple and the Sky Buddha of Mingjiang Prefecture. However, this Buddha was very selfish. In order to preserve the strength of Buddhism, he imprisoned the monk Zhujiu, who was determined to abandon his monastic life and cultivate Taoism, in the forbidden tower of Qiye Temple.
Later, she had an affair with the alien ghost Zhaxing, one of the "guardians of the world" at that time, and gave birth to the Buddhist son "Six Desires".

After this incident was exposed,
Venerable Zhaxing and Venerable Qiye were both enlightened by the Dharma.

The position of the great Buddha in the sky was now occupied by the green-robed Buddha.

"Venerable Qiye, please stop playing dumb with me. When did you enter Yazi's body?"

"I am who I am, not what I want to enter my body."

Venerable Qiye said.

The phrase "I am who I am" means... Venerable Qiye and Zhao Wuya are actually the same person?

"Is Yazi the reincarnation of your Seven-Leaf Reverend?"

Yun Ziliang asked.

"I can't tell the difference, but I know that the two of us are one person."

This time, Venerable Qiye was influenced by the "Talisman of Cleansing Wrongs" and his consciousness was very stable.

"You asked me to tell you what you want, just tell me clearly. I don't have time to guess." Zhou Xuan said neatly.

"I have committed sins, corrupted the monks of Qiye Temple, and imprisoned..."

Venerable Qiye seemed to want to make a long story short, and first of all he had to explain his sins clearly and plainly.

"There's no need to talk about all the sins. I know them all. Just pick out the key points."

Zhou Xuan stretched out his hand to stop Venerable Qiye from speaking, reminding him to get to the point.

"What you said is absolutely true."

Venerable Qiye reorganized his words and said, "I have committed great sins and suffered the punishment of will. I have no complaints.

However, after I received the Dharma, my soul did not perish, but entered the land of old dreams and re-entered the cycle of reincarnation.
My mind would occasionally awaken vaguely, then fall asleep again.

Sometimes, I can’t even tell whether my thoughts are a long dream or a result of fate. ”

"Everything has its origin."

Zhou Xuan replied.

"Those various reincarnations, where is the will telling me to go? After several reincarnations, I want to find the answer."

“No one can give you this answer.”

Zhou Xuan thought, if you have been reincarnated, just reincarnate well. Reincarnate again and again, and still have to find an "end of reincarnation", aren't you just doing nothing?

"Sir, I want you to help me find the ancient Buddha and ask me something... Entering the cycle of reincarnation while preserving some consciousness, what is the deep meaning of the will of the Jing Kingdom?

If you think I have committed many sins, just annihilate me. If you think I am unworthy of being a Buddha, just remove my Buddha spirit.

It’s just that this interweaving of clarity and drowsiness has always left me at a loss as to where my fate began and where my heart ended.”

Speaking of this,

Zhou Xuan then understood what this hexagram was asking.

"But you want me to ask the ancient Buddha? Where is the ancient Buddha?"

"I... don't know."

Venerable Qiye looked exhausted, and said, "If you can help me find out the reason, I will present my precious Buddhist artifact to you."

"What precious Buddhist artifact?"

"Seven leaves."

Venerable Qiye said: "My previous Buddha name was Venerable Qiye, because I mastered seven leaves. These seven leaves were formed when the heaven and earth were in chaos. The seven leaves are connected to form a world of their own. It is a rare Dharma instrument in the Well Country."

"I'll ask for you, but I can't guarantee that I'll get the answer. No one knows where the ancient Buddha is."

After Zhou Xuan finished speaking, he took the book of clearing wrongs.

Without this talisman, the mental consciousness of "Seven Leaves Venerable" became extremely unstable. After Zhao Wuya yawned, he returned to normal.

"Did I just fall asleep again?"

"It's not that he fell asleep, it's that the Buddha in your body has awakened."

“Is it Maitreya Buddha?”

"no?"

"Avalokitesvara?"

"Not at all."

"That's... the Long-browed Arhat. I've been visiting temples since I was a kid, and I like the Long-browed Arhat the most. His lazy sitting posture is what I like the most."

"It's Venerable Qiye, Yazi."

"..."

Zhao Wuya was disappointed, very disappointed. He thought that there was a great Buddha living in his body, but he didn't expect that it was a "sinful Buddha" who had once committed a serious crime and was executed.

"Youyou Cang Tian, ​​why do you treat me less favorably?"

Zhao Wuya let out a long sigh and no longer mentioned his "great Buddha connection".

"Don't be so discouraged, Venerable Qiye. After all, you were once the great Buddha in the sky."

"Brother Xuan, stop talking about Buddhism. I, Zhao Wuya, was born with a great destiny."

"You can't do this. You don't have a good Buddha living in your body, but you just abandon Buddhism and join the Tao."

Zhou Xuan felt that Zhao Wuya was too real.

"I'm going to go back and cry... I'm going to go back and rest, and you guys can continue chatting."

Zhao Wuya almost told the truth. He patted his Taoist robe and walked towards the old painting studio.

After Zhao Wuya left, Zhou Xuan asked Yun Ziliang: "This hexagram is to be consulted with the ancient Buddha, where is the ancient Buddha?"

"You ask me, how can I know?" Yun Ziliang poked his nose and said, "According to the legends that have been passed down for two thousand years, the wandering gods of Jing Country are all looking for the head of the ancient Buddha to obtain the power of the ancient Buddha.

But after searching for so many years, not even a ghost of the ancient Buddha's head was found.
In my opinion... the ancient Buddha has long since fallen and scattered. Where can we find him? We can’t find him anywhere.”

"If this hexagram doesn't work out, what will be the consequences for me?"

"It doesn't really have any consequences. You didn't reject the divination master anyway."

Yun Ziliang said: "Every time the King of Hell tells the fortune, it is a great opportunity. If it is solved perfectly, the incense will grow. If it cannot be solved... then it cannot be solved.

Anyway, this kind of hexagram is hard to come by, and even if you do come across it, you can't solve it. This is normal. Otherwise, wouldn't all the dragon-seeking Taoists in Canglong Mountain be highly respected?

However, this hexagram of yours is a great opportunity, it is a seven-leaf precious Buddhist artifact..."

"What's the story behind this Buddhist artifact?" Zhou Xuan asked.

"The Taoist City God has a lot of magical instruments, so the City God with magical instrument talent is very good at crossing the incense realm to kill people. The Lu Yusheng you killed before was known as the king of crossing the realm in Mingjiang Prefecture.
However, the incense and fire gods of Jingguo are composed of blood, flesh, spirit and Tao. Among them, blood, spirit and Tao have their own mysterious techniques. Although they have magic tools, they do not rely on them. Only the Buddhism, which is made of flesh, has a shortcoming in mysterious techniques. It can only cultivate a golden body and use magic tools. Over time, it has developed a unique way in this aspect.

The most precious Buddhist instrument is the most powerful and miraculous in the Well Country.

The Seven Leaves are the most precious of all treasures. If you can get them, combined with your divine power, your six-stick incense sticks’ fighting power can lift up and hammer the seven-stick incense sticks.”

Yun Ziliang thought of this, patted his stool and said, "How can we have this dream? Obviously this hexagram cannot be completed. Since it cannot be completed, let's just treat it as a dream.

Go to bed early and forget about it tomorrow."

"Yeah, that's right. If something is destined to be unfinished, just don't think about it. Otherwise, it's just a waste of brainpower."

Zhou Xuan didn't talk about this topic anymore.
The precious seven leaves? It might be a really good treasure, but it seems that I don’t have any fate with it… Go to ask the ancient Buddha? Where can I find the ancient Buddha?

Zhou Xuan carried a stool and walked into the house.

He has some plans for the evening... writing a book, Liangzi, and tomorrow night he will go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to give a book talk and condense the "Book of Will".

……

Today, after a continuous drizzle, the night in Dongshi Street cleared up. The clouds in the sky were no longer as gray as before, but were flashing with magical lights.

Many shop masters and small bosses, as long as they have some free time, will bring their younger generations with them, put out a few cold dishes and a small jar of wine under the eaves, eat, drink, chat and admire the flowing clouds.

The reason why Liuyun had this strange vision was because Peng Sheng was in Dongshi Street.

Peng Sheng is now at the level of a sky god. Wherever he appears, the celestial phenomena change.

"Mr. Peng, aren't you going back to the forbidden area of ​​tattoos?"

Yun Ziliang set up a table of food in the store and drank and chatted with Peng Sheng. During the conversation, he also asked Peng Sheng why he didn't return to Pengjia Town.

Peng Sheng is a sky-level god, and a kingdom of God above the sky opens its doors to him.

But he only has the skills of eight incense sticks, not nine incense sticks. Not to mention that once he lands in the kingdom of God, he will encounter a large number of challenges from the nine incense sticks in the human world, which he cannot cope with.
Just talking about ascending to the sky, he is not yet capable of that.

Therefore, for Peng Sheng and the musician, these two "low-incense-level gods", staying in the human world with a large amount of incense power protecting them is actually the best choice.

"The ancient monitoring tripod of Mingjiang Mansion can still be used for the time being. Any disciples of the hall who are above six incense sticks will be detected by the ancient tripod when they enter Mingjiang Mansion.

Today, Mingjiang Prefecture is as safe as Pengjia Town. I might as well live in Dongshi Street for a few days and enjoy the leisurely life in the world.

"Okay, come with me to the mahjong parlor and play mahjong these two days."

"Okay, okay, win all the money from those gamblers."

Peng Sheng said.

Yun Ziliang nodded in approval. If a person has no dreams, what is the difference between him and a salted fish?

It was late, and Lu Mingkun also came back. He added a pair of chopsticks and listened to the record player, chatted and drank wine with Peng Sheng and Yun Ziliang.

During the meal, Lv Mingkun called to Zhou Xuan, "Little Junior Brother, would you like to have a drink too?"

"I'm not drinking anymore. I'm writing a book."

"What are you writing about? Let me take a look." When Lu Mingkun was in the Zhou Family Class, he was already a fan of Zhou Xuan and loved listening to Zhou Xuan's storytelling.

Now that Zhou Xuan is writing a new book, Liangzi, he naturally has to take a look at it.

He walked up to the counter, picked up a draft and began to read.

“Happy people all have the same happiness, but unhappy people have different kinds of misfortune.”

Lu Mingkun couldn't help but sigh: "Little Junior Brother, you are really good at writing. In one sentence, you can express the helplessness and sigh of life."

He was very interested, so he continued reading: "My name is Bai Jie, and I graduated from an ordinary normal college..."

When Zhou Xuan heard this, he quickly snatched back the draft and said with a wry smile, "This article is a little bit silly and not suitable for public speaking. Take a look at what I have written now."

He picked up another piece of manuscript paper and handed it to the fifth senior brother.

Lu Mingkun took a casual look - Qingyun Sect, Han Li.

After reading a few paragraphs carefully, he found it very interesting and asked Zhou Xuan: "What is the name of this book Liangzi?"

"Oh, A Mortal's Journey to Immortality."

"It's kind of pretty."

Lu Mingkun held the manuscript and read it by the light. After finishing one article, he picked up another one and became so absorbed in reading that he was still not satisfied until he finished the latest page. He urged Zhou Xuan to

"Junior brother, please write quickly. I'm waiting to read it."

"I won't write anymore. I'm going to bed."

For the first time, Zhou Xuan was under pressure to "urge for more updates"...

"Then I'll take a day off tomorrow. I'm going to the Metropolitan to listen to books. Liangzi thinks this book is very exciting just by reading it."

Lu Mingkun shouted upstairs.

"Welcome Fifth Brother..."

Zhou Xuan responded with a smile...
