Beside Xuanzhu Peak, there are dozens of mountain tops, large and small.
Most of the elders live here, and some disciples who have received the true transmission also practice here.
Today, a man dressed like a disciple flew out of Xuanzhu Peak and landed directly on one of the bare mountains.
This place is full of ruins, overgrown with weeds, and tangled with cobwebs. A half-broken wall lay across an open space, and there was a dead tree next to it. There was a crow's nest built on it, and several black young birds were chirping.
Such a desolate place seems extremely out of place compared to the surrounding mountains with steaming clouds and rosy clouds, and the fairy-like atmosphere.
The man was born with a dignified appearance, but there was an obvious depression in his face, which was concentrated between his eyebrows and could not be shaken off.
He dodged and disappeared on the spot. He didn't know where he went.
Gah, gah, gah.
A gust of wind blew by, rolling up a few withered yellow leaves. A pitch-black crow flew by and landed on a dead tree. Its dark eyes were shining, adding a strange atmosphere to the place.
...
In the courtyard halfway up the mountain, a group of children were chattering.
I don’t know who got a rumor from the senior brothers and sisters that one of the several hills around Xuanzhu Peak is haunted!
Such news naturally exploded among the children, and everyone was discussing it enthusiastically.
A tiger-headed little boy had his hands on his hips and his chin high in the air, full of arrogance:
"The leader said that I have good qualifications. After I open up the sea of suffering, I will take down all the monsters and monsters!"
"Come on, Huwei, the leader is kind, and everyone tells you that you have good qualifications! I think you are not Huwei, but a fox pretending to be Huwei!"
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"
The children laughed, and the little boy named Huwei blushed and scolded:
"What are you talking about, little plum! How about we show off?"
"Okay, just come. When it comes to wrestling, I, Li Ying, have never been afraid of anyone!"
"Yeah, yeah!"
"come on! Come on!"
Unlike the lively fight in the boys' area, the girls' area in the courtyard is completely different.
"whispering sound."
Zhou Xi looked at the dust flying among the boys, rolled his eyes, and then hugged the pretty girl next to him and played with her two little braids.
"Our baby is still fragrant and soft, and it looks delicious at first glance. But baby, why do you always wear a little braid? Come on, let me give you a new look."
After saying that, he was about to take action. After hearing this, Nannan hurriedly protected her braids.
"No, no, no, I like braids."
Her brother taught her this, and he only taught her how to tie braids.
In a daze, Nannan seemed to see her brother carefully tying her braids in the early morning. She also thought that her brother didn't know where he was now, or even when he would come back. In contrast to the excitement around him, she suddenly couldn't help but feel sad. Come from.
Seeing that her daughter suddenly wanted to shed tears, Zhou Xi quickly let go.
"Okay, okay, if I don't move you, I'll make you anxious."
When Zhou Xi was in the mortal world, she was actually the eldest daughter of a large family. She could be said to be extremely wealthy. My father is a well-known local wealthy businessman. Once a person lacks everything, he will naturally turn his attention from "quantity" to "quality". The most important thing is to continue this state, so I started to seek immortality and ask questions.
The territory of the Eastern Wasteland is endless, and no matter how powerful a mortal is, it is difficult to cross even one territory. With a little thought, the wealthy businessman started buying up rare and rare local herbs. In the end, he directly monopolized the local medicinal herb market. Then he followed the clues through middlemen and found a way to send Zhou Xi to Xuanhu Peak.
Zhou Xi accepted it happily. The wealthy businessman was away all year round. She and her mother depended on each other. When she was two or three years old, her mother passed away due to illness. Although she was the nominal eldest lady at home, she was very lonely. The wealthy businessman actually treated her well. , all the silver and jewelry, she is an only daughter after all, the wealthy businessman values love, and has not married again, leaving only Zhou Xi as an only child. Knowing that there was no hope of entering the immortal sect, he generously gave the opportunity to his daughter.
Although she was pampered, Zhou Xi didn't have the temper of a young lady at all. The first time she saw her daughter, she felt that she immediately fell in love with this pretty little girl.
Nannan looks soft and waxy, with a white and rosy little face and those two playful braids, which really makes people want to catch her in their hands and "ravage" her hard.
She is often startled by her bad thoughts, but it may also be because she spent most of her childhood alone in the mortal world and always wanted to have a younger sister to accompany her.
In short, she secretly thought, my daughter is mine, and no one of you can take her away, hum.
"Stop it, stop it."
Lin Qian looked at the two little girls hugging each other in front of her. One was pink and jade, and the other was arrogant and cute, like two candy balls connected together.
Although Lin Qian is not from a prosperous family like Zhou Xi, she is also well-educated and well-behaved. A pair of delicate black eyebrows dotted her face, which added an extravagant aura to her.
She sat on either side of the two of them and spoke word by word:
"I heard that among the hills around Xuanzhu Peak, there is a hilltop that is barren of grass and not even a human figure can be seen. Many years ago, a disciple finished his evening practice and caught a glimpse of a figure on that hilltop. When he flew closer, he saw that But he found that it was a woman, very good-looking, but the woman's appearance was a bit strange, her face was lifeless, and she was as pale as paper. She didn't make any movement when she saw the disciple coming, she just stood there.
"The disciple relied on his skill and courage to take a few steps forward to find out what was going on. He saw the woman then raised her head and smiled strangely at him, showing her cold teeth. This scared the disciple so much that he screamed and flew up quickly. , turned around and found that the woman was gone.
"Later I heard that the disciple reported the matter to the deputy peak master, Elder Linyun, but nothing was found."
Zhou Xi gritted her teeth after hearing this. She hugged her daughter tightly and said to Lin Qian dissatisfied:
"What ghost stories are you talking about to scare people in broad daylight?"
"It's not a ghost story, it's true!"
Suddenly, a shiny bald head came up next to him. It was a little boy dressed as a monk.
The young monk's name is Xuan Yao, and his master is an eminent monk from an ancient temple in a deep mountain.
He swore that when his master sent him here, he passed by the top of the mountain and stared at it for a long time.
"... Yin energy gathers here, and ghosts are prone to be born."
The young monk shook his head and repeated his master's words in detail, but he was looking around at that time, and only this sentence impressed him the most.
"I said you little monk, if there is a ghost, just go and save it. Why do you even come to join in the fun? Go, go, go, this place doesn't belong to you."
Zhou Xi chased the young monk towards the boys.
When the young monk looked behind him, he saw that the wrestling match had become intense. The two sides were fighting each other, and the fight was in full swing.
This made the corners of his mouth twitch.
He pretended to be a master and shook his head: "More desires are suffering, less desires are inactive, and the body and mind are at ease. I, the Buddha, do not fight, and I do not fight."
Lin Qian looked at his small body and joked:
"The original and innocent Buddha liberates people from the three evil realms. If you don't enter the six realms of the world of mortals, how do you know that you are truly invincible? The Buddha talks about detachment, not escape. He hides in the city, emerges from the silt and is untainted, and is clear. Ripple but not evil."
She actually knows a lot about Buddhism and must have had some contact with it before.
When the young monk heard this, he secretly thought that this girl was not easy to fool. While he was thinking hard, Nannan's childish voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Stop teasing Xuan Yao, come here, Nannan will play with you."
"Wow - Nannan, you don't want me anymore!"
Zhou Xi looked heartbroken when he heard this. Nannan was very funny when she saw this, and took Zhou Xi's little hand to comfort him.
Zhou Xi's eyebrows were curved and she was very happy. There was a cunning light in her beautiful eyes. She called a few people together:
"I have a suggestion, why not..."
"?!"
"?!"
"?!"
"I'm not going!"
Xuan Yao was the first to shout, but then his face turned red. He was the only boy here, and he should have taken the lead in Zhou Xi's proposal.
Sure enough, in the next second, Zhou Xi, Lin Qian, and even Nannan all showed disdain.
"Okay... okay, but we have to wait until we open up the bitter sea and can fly."
Lin Qian and Nannan also had this intention. After all, they couldn't even get out of the mountain gate without opening up the sea of suffering.
"Then let's see who of us can open up the sea of suffering faster."
"good!"
"All right……"
The courtyard was full of laughter and laughter again, everyone chatted and shared their children's imagination with each other.
