From the Ming Dynasty, we will conquer the world

Chapter 41: Eight million Buddha lands, five hundred years of wind and rain, the path of sentient beings is proven as a master!
While Qi Jiguang and Xu Xing were admiring the moon side by side, Lu Zhu was also on the road up the mountain and saw the bright moon in the middle of the night from afar.

Different from the feelings of Xu Xing and the others, Lu Zhu, who was about to become a master and watching many statues of Bodhisattvas, suddenly felt that the moonlight was extremely cold, even eerie.

It was like pieces of thin ice seeping into his flesh, causing his bones to ache.

Lu Zhu faced the lonely moon, feeling a deep loneliness in his heart.

The Buddha said, "I am the only one who is supreme in heaven and on earth."

Isn’t this situation of forever looking down on the world and having compassion on all living beings the most extreme form of loneliness?

Disciples, who can understand the meaning of this?
Lu Zhu's face was calm, and he immediately sat cross-legged, making the meditation seal with his hands, restraining his qi and blood, and entering a deep state of meditation.

He felt his soul rising slowly, until one moment, Lu Zhu suddenly woke up, even the white clouds and the sky were gone, all around him was empty darkness.

In the darkness, there was a faint glow of fire. Lu Zhu looked up and saw a dense field of fireballs. In this world where there was no support, it seemed that everything was self-sufficient and in its right place.

A closer look revealed that each fireball was extremely huge, and Lu Zhu seemed infinitely small in this environment.

Under this contrast that couldn't be any stronger, he suddenly felt an inexplicable huge panic and shock.

So, this is the real eight million Buddha lands?

Lu Zhu just felt empty in his heart, as if everything he had pursued and worked hard for before was so insignificant. It was as if he suddenly realized a lot of things, and lost a lot of things at once.

Immersed in the great loss, Lu Zhu felt that his thoughts were running like wild horses, galloping in his chest, in chaos. He gradually lost consciousness and just froze in place.

He suddenly thought of something.

If Brother Xu were here, what would he think?
The sky is high and the sea is vast, the Buddha land is immeasurable, and mortals are not even worthy of being a drop in the ocean.

But if it were him, he would most likely cheer up and work hard to travel through the world.

That person was born to be a traveler who wanted to "compete with the gods".

Although Lu Zhu is not that kind of person, when he thinks of Xu Xing, he seems to be infected by his never-ending fighting spirit. He is no longer lost and confused, and his body gradually becomes aware of himself.

Just then, Lu Zhu heard another voice.

"Hey!"

His body was pushed by someone, and his thoughts finally fell back to the earth from the sky, and he slowly raised his eyelids.

As soon as Lu Zhu opened his eyes, he saw a slender black figure standing in front of him, bending over. Although his expression was still indifferent, the concern in his eyes was hard to conceal.

Lu Zhu knew that Xiyu had come to protect him because she was worried about him after he had been meditating for so long. Just by looking at the dust floating on her black clothes, he could tell that she had been standing here for a long time.

Lu Zhu was stunned, and suddenly a strong and irresistible love surged in his heart, so strong that he could hardly control himself.

She is obviously a very warm-hearted girl, but why does she have to treat herself as cold?

The morning light was dim, shining through the gaps between the leaves.

The sunset glow created bright spots that flowed between the extremely three-dimensional facial features. The angular face looked extremely bright and full of awe-inspiring sharpness.

The ends of her hair were disheveled, her red lips were slightly parted, revealing a row of lovely white teeth, and a fresh scent emanated from her bones.

Looking at the face carefully, Lu Zhu suddenly thought of something.

"I wish to become a stone bridge..."

Just then, another voice came from behind him.

"After five hundred years of wind, five hundred years of sun, and five hundred years of rain, I just want her to walk across the bridge~"

Lu Zhu turned around suddenly and saw Xu Xing standing in the stele forest with a smile on his face. He looked at her strangely and clapped his hands, saying:
"Good boy, this is the first time I've seen such a loving look in your eyes."

Another laugh came from Xu Xing's side:
"Step method, then you really have little experience."

Only then did Lu Zhu notice that there was a person squatting behind the ancient tree with gnarled roots next to Xu Xing.

This man has a square and broad face, with eyebrows flying into his temples. From his posture to his expression, he gives people a sense of unshakable determination.

Lu Zhu was naturally very familiar with this face.

It was he who escorted the Taizhou general, Qi Jiguang, known as "Qi Hu" all the way.

If someone else had said this, Xu Xing might have just admitted defeat. However, he had heard the rumor that Qi Jiguang was henpecked from his previous life, so he immediately laughed and said:
"I have heard about the relationship between General Qi and his wife for a long time. As a junior, I can only listen attentively and wait for your teachings."

Although Qi Jiguang knew that Xu Xing was a person who would never suffer any loss, he did not expect that his words would be so sharp and he was met with a cold shoulder.

He laughed awkwardly, and said in an almost begging manner:

"Haha, haha, that's too much."

Xu Xingzi had no intention of pursuing the matter further. He just laughed a few times and passed the matter over.

In fact, in the middle of the night, Xu Xing felt the aura of the grandmaster's boxing coming from the foot of the mountain, and followed Qi Jiguang all the way down the mountain.

They originally wanted to protect Lu Zhu, but seeing that Xiyu had arrived first, they did not show up immediately, but hid in the dark, observing the couple.

The two of them had a tacit understanding, but it made things difficult for Lu Zhu.

This Buddhist disciple could never have imagined that even a general like Qi Jiguang, who was known for his upright character, seriousness and rigidity, would follow Xu Xing and do such an inappropriate thing.

But when he thought about his own experience, Lu Zhu felt that it was understandable.

It's not General Qi's fault. It's mainly because of Brother Xu. He is too good at deceiving people. Anyone who is with him is likely to get some problems.

Lu Zhu's face froze, and he said in a muffled voice:
"You two, you..."

Qi Jiguang was a man of status after all. When he was glanced at by Lu Zhu with resentment, he felt a little embarrassed and turned away.

Xu Xing didn't care about these things. He raised his eyebrows and said frankly:
"I would miss such an interesting thing? Brother Yuan Jing, don't you think so?"

"what……"

Facing Lu Zhu's gaze, and then looking at Xiyu, Qi Yuanjing hesitated for several times before finally saying:
"Very good, a good match."

After hearing these words, Lu Zhu hadn't reacted much, but Xiyu could no longer hold back. She opened her eyes, took a step, and jumped up from the stone tablet, leaping towards the mountain path.

Lu Zhu subconsciously raised his hand, but immediately put it down. Seeing his expression, Xu Xing put his hands behind his back and sighed like a person who had experienced it:

"Let the little girl calm down. She's a practitioner of meditation, why can't she keep her composure?"

Lu Zhu turned his head and looked at Xu Xing steadily without saying anything. Xu Xing had no sense of being an amateur commanding an expert at all. He looked at Lu Zhu confidently without showing any sign of weakness.

After a while, Lu Zhu couldn't help himself and gave Xu Xing a thumbs up, saying admiringly:

"Amazing." Xu Xing raised his eyebrows and said without hesitation:
"Much better than you."

He looked Lu Zhu up and down, and was amazed:

"I originally thought that Bodhidharma's remains were the opportunity for you to break through, but I didn't expect that the fate of breaking through the barrier would be due to this kind of thing..."

Although Xu Xing was sighing, the joy in his tone was overflowing. He clasped his fists towards Lu Zhu and said softly:
"Xiao Lu, congratulations."

Lu Zhu regained his calm demeanor at this moment. He clasped his hands together and smiled slightly:
"I have been looking for the swordsman for thirty years. How many times have the leaves fallen and branches sprouted? Ever since I saw the peach blossoms, I have no doubts until now."

Qi Jiguang also clapped his hands and laughed, his spirits were extremely high. He turned around and looked at Xu Xing, his eyes shining, and asked:
"Speed ​​is of the essence in war. Why don't we set off now? I can't wait to give Zhu Laolong a surprise."

Xu Xing naturally agreed very much with Qi Jiguang's proposal.

After all, he is a person who is used to taking a dominant position and influencing the development of the battle, and he never likes to strike back.

He had previously stayed in Southern Shaolin only to wait for Qi Jiguang to recover from his injuries and to make it easier for himself to comprehend martial arts.

Now that all the conditions were ripe, Xu Xingzi was unwilling to wait any longer. He nodded and was about to speak, agreeing with Qi Jiguang's opinion, when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his brow.

Xu Xing suddenly turned his head and looked at the vast and dense forest in front of the stone steps.

He pressed his brows, squinted his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh:

"It seems that we have underestimated Zhu Laolong. Hey, what a big scene..."

Qi Jiguang immediately realized that something was wrong. He frowned and asked in a deep voice:

"Do you want me to gather some men?"

Although Qi Jiguang did not notice anything unusual, after two months of getting along with him, he realized that perhaps this little brother's boxing skills had surpassed that of the "Sky Guardian" Lu Wenming who was able to fight Zhu Laolong to life and death.

Therefore, Qi Jiguang trusted Xu Xing even more than himself and naturally would not doubt his judgment.

Lu Zhu also followed with a solemn expression. He came to Xu Xing's side, lowered his head, and made an attitude of waiting to be ordered around.

"Brother Xu, General Qi, how are you going to fight?"

Xu Xing shook his head and said:
"This battle is no longer within their scope to interfere. Let's go together."

Lu Zhu and Qi Jiguang's expressions became more solemn. They had heard one thing from Xu Xing's words.

Only a master can deal with the enemy that attacks this time.

Qi Jiguang asked:
"Tafa, you mean that the people coming are masters, and there are more than one of them?"

Xu Xing closed his eyes, exerting the maximum effect of the "Empty Immortal Capsule", his nostrils twitching as he carefully savored the extremely strong hostile smell that permeated the air.

“The specific feeling is unclear, but the number of people is definitely not small.

There are at least two masters among them, one is as powerful as a rainbow, and the other is as powerful as heaven and earth, but both of them are sharp and sharp, they should be the two famous sword masters of the Wa Nu Kingdom. "

Xu Xing had been hanging around in the southeast for a long time, often doing some black-eating-black business with no capital, and robbing Japanese pirates many times. Naturally, he knew the list of masters in the Japanese slave country very well.

"Ok?"

Qi Jiguang's body trembled, and he said solemnly word by word:
"Even masters of this level have to come to Southern Shaolin to eliminate you, a variable. It seems that Zhu Tiandu has really integrated the Wa Nu Kingdom this time and is going to make a last-ditch effort."

Xu Xing shook his head and denied:

"No, it's more than that..."

Listening to the surging sound of blood and energy coming from so far away, even someone as calm as Xu Xing found it a little unbelievable.

"There is also a great master whose strength I am not even sure of. Just by listening to his voice, I know that this person is probably not far from being truly 'indestructible'.

But he didn't have any solid martial arts will or punching power, as if he had completely lost his mind... Interesting, really interesting."

Finally, Xu Xing grinned and laughed, and concluded:
"Zhu Laolong is really a particular person. Even when he comes to visit, he will set up such a grand feast."

Ever since he cultivated the Empty Immortal Bag and achieved the Ultimate Void Realm, Xu Xing's already extraordinary perception has been further enhanced.

It can be said that within ten miles, the murderous intent was visible, and the sound of flying flowers and falling leaves could be heard and seen.

Therefore, even if the people who came were strictly trained ninjas and assassins, they could not hide from his eyes and ears.

The stealth methods of the Japanese ninjas have the shadow of Buddhism's "Dry Zen". Even the great boxers at the level of the four great masters could not hide their "Dry Zen" from Xu Xing, let alone these ninjas who have not grasped the essence of it?
Because of this, the offensive and defensive situation changed before the ambush actually began.

After listening to Xu Xing's analysis, Qi Jiguang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
As the art of war says, if you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger of defeat. With Xu Xing's unique skills, it can be said that they were firmly in an invincible position from the very beginning.

The Taizhou general faced the dense forest with his mouth open, like a tiger with its face wide open and fangs bared. Although the smile was obvious, it also made him look more ferocious.

"Qi has always had a big appetite."

Since his resurrection from the dead, Qi Jiguang felt that his boxing skills had improved greatly.

But in front of Xu Xing, he really couldn't do anything.

Qi Jiguang even felt that no matter how much he improved in his life, it would be difficult for him to surpass Xu Xing in pure boxing.

Fortunately, Qi Jiguang always positioned himself as a general who was good at maneuvering and strategizing, so he did not have to worry about this.

However, he really wanted to know what level his boxing skills had reached now, and how far was he from the "ultimate void" realm that seemed unattainable in the past?
Lu Zhu was also infected by this heroic atmosphere, his blood boiling, and he laughed loudly:
"Who among us who practice martial arts doesn't have a big belly?"

Xu Xing waved his sleeves and walked forward first.

"Since we are the host, let's not keep the guests waiting. Let's go."

-

On the other side, a team of about fifty or sixty people were walking slowly in the dense forest.

The leading group of people were quite short and wore clothes similar to camouflage uniforms. They were scattered throughout the forest, moving very lightly, like a group of chameleons, seeming to blend into the surrounding environment.

Behind the "Chameleon" was a group of men in black who looked like cold iron statues. They were gloomy and cold, with identically indifferent looks, just like ruthless killing machines.

Behind the dense forest, in an open space with sparse grass and trees, there is a large sedan chair. The sedan chair is square and extremely wide, enough to accommodate ten people in it without seeming crowded.

But there was a constant and noisy sound coming from it, the curtains were constantly rolled up and slapped against the sedan frame, making a dull and rhythmic snapping sound.

Suddenly, the curtain was lifted up and the whole sedan shook violently, as if something was about to break free from the shackles and reappear in the world.

This shock startled the two sword masters.
