The sermon begins with the dragon and the horse

Chapter 21 I apply for a horse, I would like to call you the strongest

In the evening, the setting sun slanted the golden light on the verdant hillside and the curved river surface. At that time, the landslide bell should respond, adding a magical artistic conception, just like in a fairy tale world.

It was barren and peaceful, with the sun shining on the rolling hills.As we go up, the night becomes thicker, and the flashing stars jump out first, and there is still a line of bright orange in the sky, the ridge becomes clearer, and the only quiet sound is the green wind like rice paddies.

In the quiet field, there is a bonfire, with golden bison meat hanging on the grill, the roast meat sizzling, and a drop of hot oil slowly sliding down the lines of the plump meat, which is fascinating.

Sitting around the fire were three people and one horse. Strictly speaking, two people were one horse. One fell unconscious on the ground. He was Pang Bo, who was bound by dozens of formations.

"Wuliang Tianzun, this buffalo is really sinful. It has destroyed so many farm crops. Don't do it, let the poor Taoist save this evil animal." Seeing that the barbecue was cooked, Duan De acted first, wanting to monopolize the fattest one. Beef kidney.

"Yeah, you immoral Taoist priest, you can eat barbecue if you want, what are you talking about?" Ye Fan rolled his eyes and cursed in an inaudible voice.

"Gourmet food comes first, but it's a pity that there is no good wine, only a little fairy liquid." Shen Ma said proudly, took out the teapot and teacup made of chaotic jade crystal, poured a cup for himself, and savored it carefully.

"Brother Shenma, it's too disrespectful to greet my old brother even if you have Xianye."

Duan De's ears were sharp enough, and his nose was sharper. When he heard Shen Ma talking to himself, he was surprised. When he smelled it, the fairy liquid in the pot was really extraordinary. Just smelling it, his whole body felt refreshed.

I saw him pull out a huge washbasin bowl from the sea of ​​bitterness, pick up the chaotic jade pot, and pour fairy liquid into it, Shen Ma's eyes twitched, thinking: "The level of shamelessness in this paragraph of virtue has to be raised to a higher standard. Originally, in my mind, his image was just the No. [-] Shameless in the Big Dipper, but now I should give him an award for the Shameless No. [-] in the universe.”

"I tell you, you wicked Taoist priest, save some for me!"

Ye Fan is actually quite dark, and when he sees something good, he immediately goes to it.A pot of fairy liquid was turning back and forth in the hands of the two, but they didn't use their divine power, otherwise Ye Fan now wouldn't be enough for Duan De to hit with a fist.

"Hi, the buffalo in the Dao Palace Realm are still a bit of a loser." Duan De hiccupped, rubbed his round belly, and lay down on the grass to count the stars.

"You are the one who eats the most, and you still don't think the meat tastes good." After Ye Fan and Duan De got acquainted, they directly confronted each other.He is now trying his best to refine the life essence in the bison meat and fairy liquid, his blood is surging, and he is almost burst by the essence of it.

Shen Ma half lying on the ground, looking at this comfortable small valley, two more friends.

There was a sound of thunder, and the oily rain fell down, covering the mountains and plains in a veil-like rain and mist, fresh, moist and picturesque.

The raindrops are like broken beads, falling one by one on the puddles formed by the rainwater.

Shen Ma let the rain wet his cheeks, but felt a different kind of reality, his mood suddenly opened up, and the bottleneck was slightly loosened.

"Wuliang Tianzun, it's really bad luck. Why is it raining in the middle of the night?" Duan De muttered, pinching the seal with his hands, and a mud house rose from the ground.

"Immortal Taoist priest, let me take shelter from the rain." Ye Fan helped the unconscious Pang Bo, and quickly walked into the earthen house.

Inside the earthen hut, another bonfire was lit.The two looked at each other, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Cough cough, fat man, what do you think is a living?" Shen Ma felt a little confused, and thought of this question for some reason.

Duan De's eyes fixed, his expression became serious, he looked at the bonfire in the house, and said: "I don't know what life is, but I often hear ordinary people talk about making a fire, making a fire, presumably, this fire is life."

Ye Fan seemed to have realized something, and said to himself: "Is this fire life?"

In a daze, Shen Ma had a little understanding, but he didn't seem to understand. He thought of his life on Earth in his previous life, and then he came to Zhetian. Is this reincarnation?But what is death?
He was silent for a moment, then said again: "What is death?"

This time, from Duan De's eyes, it can be seen that he is very confused. What is death?In fact, it has been lingering in his mind.

Every time he makes a seal of reincarnation, it is a new life, but it also represents the death of the previous life.The soul is constantly reborn in the body, and for him, death is also a part of life.

From confusion to sobriety, to affirmation of his own Tao, Duan De said confidently: "For me, death is also a part of life. Even if there is reincarnation, I am still me." In the last sentence, he almost roared, This is his affirmation of previous lives.

Ye Fan and Shen Ma glanced at Duan De, a little confused.

"Well, what happened to me just now? Why did I suddenly become so irritable?" Duan Dejing sat down and thought secretly.

Shen Ma glanced at Ye Fan again, and said, "What is death?"

"Boom"

The rain was getting heavier, and a layer of white rain and mist splashed on the roof, like a misty white gauze.

At this time, a gust of wind blew over, and the white gauze floated away curlingly, and the raindrops slanted on the stagnant water on the ground, stirring up splashes of water.

The bonfire in the earthen house flickers between light and dark, just like life and death, one light and one dark, it seems to contain the way of heaven.

Life and death are intertwined.

Ye Fan looked at the bonfire in front of him, his eyes flickered, and said: "When the fire starts, it is life. When the fire is extinguished, it is death. The process of burning is life. I don't believe in reincarnation, I only believe in the present. Even if burned It’s enough to run out of firewood, just live a wonderful life.”

Shen Ma stared blankly at the bonfire. After a long time, he smiled dumbly and said, "I am the one who has become obsessed. Life and death, reincarnation is endless. One flower fades and another blooms. People only value the beginning and the end, but they don't know the end of life. The beauty is the process."

After hearing this, Duan De stood up, pointed to the sky, and said: "This rain is born in the sky and dies in the earth. The process in between is life. I have always believed that the sky is the sky, the earth is the earth, and the rain It's Yu, but I don't know Yu's life, he has experienced life and death."

Shen Ma and Ye Fan looked at each other, silent, watching the rain quietly, falling into a certain artistic epiphany.

The rain gradually stopped, and the newborn sun slowly rose.A rainbow appeared on the mountain, and the rainbow was shining brightly, hanging in the sky, so beautiful!

The flowers are in full bloom, red like fire, white like snow, pink like clouds, colorful.The peach blossoms on the mountain look like clouds from a distance.

The flowers put on a flower dress for the world, so beautiful.

When the sun shone into the earthen house, both of them woke up from that artistic conception immediately. Everyone had a smile on their faces, and they must have gained a lot.

Artistic conception is the most important realization for a monk.Rely on yourself to comprehend the way of heaven, experience the state of mind, walk out of your own way, and create your own law.

This kind of perception will accompany one's life and grow up with it. This is more important than the imperial medicine, and it is an important help to walk out of one's own 'Tao'.

"By the way, the two priests, is there any way to save my friend Pangbo?" Ye Fan was a little anxious, yesterday he was only concerned with running for his life, and after a full meal, he started to discuss again.It was only now that Pangbo was lying down waiting for help, and he was suddenly very anxious.

Pangbo in the corner turned pale, and Shen Ma said, "It might be troublesome. Both souls are in the same sea of ​​consciousness. I may not be able to do it alone." After speaking, he looked up at the fat Taoist priest.

Duan De's eyes flickered, he rubbed his thumb and index finger back and forth, and murmured, "Well, it's a bit difficult."

"Duan Daochang, as long as I can save Pang Bo, I will not hesitate to let me go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire." Ye Fan had a resolute face, and he spoke sonorously and loudly.

"At first I wanted to give an ancient scripture of the Demon Emperor to Taoist Duan, but it seems that the Taoist priest seems to have difficulties, so I don't bother. Hey, this ancient scripture can only be left to others." Shen Ma looked at it. Looking at Duan De's ugly face, he said teasingly.

"What? The Demon Emperor's Sutra! My monks, why would we fight a battle? We should exorcise demons and defend the Tao, and save the common people. Since the little brother Pangbo is Ye Fan's friend, it is even more impossible for the poor to do nothing."

Duan De had a benevolent face and looked very simple and honest. He said aloud "Infinite Heavenly Venerable" and acted like a worldly master.He said again, "Brother Shenma, where is the Emperor's Scripture you mentioned?"

"Fatty, it's far away in the sky, but it's close in front of you." Shen Ma suddenly pointed at Pangbo who was in a coma.

"You mean that old demon who seized the house has the Emperor's scripture on him!" Duan De said in surprise.

Then he walked towards Pangbo, pointed at him, and said, "Wuliang Tianzun, brother Shenma, I said you are too ruthless. I see that this little brother has at least twenty kinds of formations, all of which are yours." Is it?"

"Aren't I afraid of accidents? That old demon is a descendant of Emperor Qing, and he knows all kinds of imperial scriptures and taboo secret techniques. The demon emperor Nine Slashes is very difficult to deal with. And there may be some treasure guarding him in his sea of ​​consciousness, otherwise Difficult to survive.

It's easy to kill him, isn't he afraid of hurting Pangbo?See if there is any way to protect Pangbo's soul and capture this old demon alive. "Shen Ma said.

Ye Fan's expression was a little urgent, he hesitated to speak.

"It's a bit troublesome. Brother Pangbo is only in the realm of the Sea of ​​​​Bitterness. His consciousness is too weak, and his sea of ​​consciousness is too small. If his sea of ​​consciousness is used as a battlefield, it is very likely that he will be shocked into an idiot. Then we need to pull that old demon out." , Open up a new battlefield."

Duan De paused, and then said: "We need to set up a Soul Seizing Lock Sky Formation, but we need a source of no less than [-] jin to support the operation of the formation." sly.

"No problem, it's all worth it compared with the Emperor's Classics." Shen Ma's heart was bleeding, and he was about to lose one-tenth of the million catties before he warmed up.But compared to Dijing, everything is worth it.

The Emperor's Sutra of the Demon Emperor is the supreme sutra for the cultivation of monsters, and its status in the monster race is comparable to that of the Taiyin and Sun scriptures in the hearts of the human race.It has a strong guiding role for the future of Shenma.

"Master Dao, this..." Ye Fan said with red eyes, unable to speak, and choked up.

"Why are you excited, just send more ancient scriptures from the Great Emperor in the future." Shen Ma said bluntly.

Duan De said with a smile: "My formation is one of the ancient and modern formations, specially designed to target spirits. If the range is large enough, it can attract the souls of countless people into the virtual battlefield.

In the past, it was the formation method used by Gu Tianting to train the soul, but unfortunately it consumed too many resources and was gradually forgotten by people. "

"Oh, I didn't expect you, Fatty, to know how to form Gu Tianting's formations, you are so talented!" Shen Ma laughed.

"Master Dao, I have been specializing in archaeology for 30 years. There are very few people in the sky and underground, swimming in water, and running on land. I don't know any of them." Duan De said with joy, his spittle splashed, and Ye Fan jumped ten meters away in fright. .

"Excellent! In terms of archaeology, I, Shen Ma, would like to call you the strongest!"
