"This master, I'm here to visit senior brother Kong Chan." Bai Ze said with cupped hands, but did not call Kong Chan master. The implication was that he was an old friend of Kong Chan.
"Want to visit Senior Brother Kongchan?" The fat monk said after hearing this, "The donor may be disappointed. Senior Brother Kongchan was in seclusion the day before yesterday and has not yet come out."
Bai Ze heard this and said, "Is little master Kongkong here?"
The fat monk said: "Yes. Donor, please follow the poor monk."
The two of them followed the fat monk to the guest house of the Buddhist temple. Along the way, the monk asked around and learned that Bai Ze came from Yunhai Xianmen. Seeing that the young monk in black was upright, they felt relieved, settled down, and went to find Kongkong. .
The monk arranged a room for the two of them respectively. The furnishings in the room were simple, and the side room was very secluded. The sound of wooden fish and chanting could be vaguely heard, just like the chirping of birds in the mountains, making it even more secluded.
After being on the road for days, Bai Ze told Xiaoman to rest first while he sat quietly in the house. Not long after, slight footsteps came to the courtyard. The young man in black opened his eyes and felt a familiar breath. He walked out of the room with a smile. He saw Kong Kong coming with the fat monk and said, "Little master, long time no see." .”
This little master's name was naturally called Kong Kong.
The young monk whom he first met in Cangzhou County was now dressed in Buddhist robes, his figure was much taller, and he already looked somewhat mature.
"Bai Ze, it's you!" When Kong Kong saw Bai Ze, he immediately smiled and said, "I heard that you failed to come out of the Kunlun Secret Realm years ago. I was worried for a long time. It seems that you are lucky and have already ranked among the fourth. The situation is over.”
"Both each other." Bai Ze said with a smile. With his extraordinary awareness, he naturally discovered that the young monk in front of him had entered the fourth realm.
When the two first met in Xanthium Town, Kong Kong had already shown extraordinary eyesight. At that time, Bai Ze suspected that he had a clear mind of Buddha. He had already developed Buddhist magical powers at a young age, and now he could naturally see through Kong Kong at a glance. His cultivation level is not surprising.
I just don’t know whether what I have perfected in Kong Kong is the clairvoyance among the six magical powers of Buddhism, or his mind.
Or both.
The fat monk felt even more relieved when he heard this, so he said goodbye and left, leaving the two of them to talk in detail.
"Why did you want to come to Xuankong Temple?" The two of them sat down at the stone table in the courtyard without entering the room.
"I have encountered a bottleneck in my practice recently, so I went down the mountain and walked around. When I passed Fufeng County, I thought of you and came over to have a look." Bai Ze said with a smile, "It's a pity that I didn't meet you in the Kunlun Secret Realm. Otherwise, we could still go together."
When he mentioned the Kunlun Secret Realm, Kong Kong looked a little worried.
"how?"
"It's nothing." Kongkong said, hesitating for a moment, "Bai Ze, have you ever met a disciple of a sect in the Kunlun Secret Realm... They call themselves the Yanyue Sect."
"We have met before." Bai Ze said, "Why, do you have a conflict?"
"It's not really a conflict." Kong Kong said, "I just feel that this sect is not a northern sect, and my master and brothers don't know much about it. I always feel that they act erratically, a bit... like people from the devil's path."
"But despite his cultivation, there is no demonic atmosphere, right?" Bai Ze said with a smile.
"That's what's weird about me too."
"I know a little bit about this sect."
"Oh?" Kongkong became interested and asked: "Where is this Yanyue Sect from, Zhongzhou?"
"Northern Territory." Bai Ze said, "It is said that thousands of years ago, after Chi Songzi, the last sect leader of the Nirvana Sect, the first sect in the Northern Territory, broke away, the Yanyue Sect wanted to overpower the Nirvana Sect and take over the Northern Territory orthodoxy. But later the two major sects The competition between the sects ended with the defeat of the Yanyue Sect, and the sect leader of the Yanyue Sect led his disciples to preach in the extreme northern wilderness, and since then disappeared from the northern realm."
"There are still such past events." Kongkong said clearly, "So, the Yanyue Sect has established a firm foothold north of the Great Wall, and now it plans to make a comeback?"
"Maybe so." Bai Ze said.
Bai Ze thought about what Hong Luan had said to him in Haojing. The tribes in the wilderness north of the Great Wall might have been controlled by the Yanyue Sect. Now they were pointing their swords at the border, intending to cross the Great Wall south and invade the seven northern kingdoms.
Nowadays, the war in the northern border is complicated and confusing, and the intervention of foreign tribes in the Yan Kingdom is a certainty. And if the wasteland tribe goes south, if
If the sect forces intervene, then the major sects on the mountain cannot stand idly by in this national war.
Bai Ze couldn't help but frown when he thought of this.
The invasion of the extreme northern wilderness, the war between the northern countries, the rise of alien races, and the emergence of evil spirits.
In just a few years, a big storm has brewed in this world, which is enough to reshuffle the temples, temples, and rivers.
And they are now at the center of this terrifying storm!
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Kong Kong changed the topic, looked at Bai Ze, and said seriously: "Actually, from the first time I saw you when I came in here, I noticed that you have changed a lot since you came out of the Kunlun Secret Realm."
"Oh?" Bai Ze said with a smile, "That's interesting. You are the second person to say that about me."
"Who's the first one?"
"Vulcan Mountain Wu Shuang." Bai Ze touched his chin, "But she can't explain clearly. In fact, I'm also very curious about what the changes you are talking about are."
"Isn't it difficult for you to know this best?" Kong Kong said in surprise.
When Bai Ze thought about it carefully, in terms of change, apart from rising to the fourth realm, it was the inner demon that he broke when he gazed at the stone statue of Bodhisattva at the foot of the ancient temple mountain road in Kunlun Secret Realm.
At that time, Bai Ze looked directly at the stone statue of Bodhisattva, triggering inner demons and being haunted by hundreds of ghosts. In the end, he was a blessing in disguise. After getting rid of the inner demons, he briefly entered the realm of still water, and both his soul and state of mind were baptized.
Could it be this?
Bai Ze felt something in his heart.
"It seems that you have thought of something." Kongkong said, falling into memories, "Actually, when my senior brother and I first met you, in Xanear Town, the Righteous Alliance was encircling and suppressing the remnants of the Demon Sect who had fled into the Qilian Mountains. At that time, I was not like you."
"I can feel it." Bai Ze said dumbly, "At that time, you said that I had a murderous intention, and you even advised me to put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately."
"Thinking about it now, I was still too judgmental at that time." Kong Kong felt a little embarrassed and said, "Now I understand what it means not to endure others' suffering and not to persuade others to do good."
Bai Ze smiled and said nothing.
The war that broke out deep in the Qilian Mountains resulted in countless casualties.
The wild beast Dragon Turtle awakens, causing a beast tide to erupt in the Qilian Mountains, trampling the city and causing rivers of blood to flow.
And almost at the same time, the Xuankong Temple was bloodbathed by the mysterious man.
At that time, Bai Ze had not yet obtained the prison from trapped dragon abyss, but the violent and murderous intention buried deep in his heart had already made Kongkong look sideways. At that time, Kongkong had only heard of Bai Ze's name, so he naturally thought that the eldest son of the Yunhai Immortal Sect should be a young monk with unparalleled brilliance and grace.
But later, something happened to the Xuankong Temple, and before the secret realm of Kunlun was opened, the young monk with great wisdom learned about Bai Ze's past, and the deep thorn in his heart towards Bai Ze gradually disappeared.
He learned that Bai Ze had traveled to the north with Xie Xuan since he was a child, and then he understood where Bai Ze's tact and sophistication came from.
He learned that Bai Ze had killed over ten thousand dead men in a battle at Hulao Pass in the southern region of Yan State, and then he understood why the murderous intention buried deep in his heart was so fierce.
But it's different now.
When Kongkong first met Bai Ze, he saw that his aura was twisted black, like a wild beast roaring silently deep in his heart. But right now, the aura of the sword cultivator in black was pure.
Although there is still blood lingering around, it is much better than the darkness.
