In Nirvana, Li Xiuyuan still didn't know he was a guest in his dream, quietly bathing in the starlight in the sky.
A divine thunder fell, creating a gap in the hard cave, allowing the night light to quietly shine on the young man's cocoon of nirvana.
If Li Xiuyuan woke up at this moment, he would definitely find that the old man trapped under the stone wall had disappeared.
If he didn't take action against Li Xiuyuan, he might be able to leave the prehistoric world alive.
In the end, the old Taoist priest was so angry that he finally turned his soul into the nourishment of the little black horse.
However, even though a full ten days have passed, Li Xiuyuan's situation in Nirvana is not optimistic, and it is even more dangerous than he was on the Bamboo Peak before.
It's all because of the evil spirit that is so strong that it can't be dispelled.
Ten days have passed, and the sky in the Jade Disk Space has returned to a clear color, and the chaotic energy and Hongmeng purple energy in the sky have become more solid than before.
But it could not stop the part of the evil spirit that Li Xiuyuan in Nirvana had unconsciously refined with his body before. That part of the evil spirit had penetrated deeply into his divine sea, as well as into the muscles, veins, flesh and bones of his body.
Li Xiuyuan, who was in the cocoon, could be said to be filled with black energy, and his whole body was shrouded in a faint black mist.
If it hadn't been for the faint Buddha's light released from the divine sea from time to time, the young man would have been swallowed up by the black mist.
Back then on the Tianshan Mountains, Li Xiuyuan was struck by a thunderbolt and turned completely black. For this reason, he was rejected by Li Mingzhu and broke off the engagement. For this reason, it took him several years to get rid of the black energy all over his body.
Unexpectedly, decades later, the young man who came to the ancient world would have the same situation happen again because of the evil spirit entering his body.
This is what the old Taoist priest said, this is his fate and his calamity.
In a trance, Li Xiuyuan was wandering in the sky.
Seeing Matsushita sitting alone, guarding a pot of spiritual tea, the old Taoist priest shouted: "Master, do you want to kill your disciple?"
The old Taoist priest put the tea into the pot and said with a smile: "Everything is your choice, what does it have to do with being a teacher? If you hadn't taken the girl to pick spiritual fruits, how would there have been any subsequent stories?"
Li Xiuyuan sighed and said: "Even so, then there is no need for the entire ten thousand years of monsters to be here waiting for the disciple, right?"
The old Taoist priest was stunned, and while stuffing two pieces of charcoal into the stove, he replied: "That guy has nothing to do with me, it's your own cause and effect!"
"How do you say this?" Li Xiuyuan took a step forward and sat down opposite the old Taoist priest.
"How?"
The old Taoist priest sat down after hearing this: "Didn't I tell you? That whetstone is good, don't throw it away... That stone is the cause and effect between you and the dragon!"
Only then did Li Xiudi gradually understand.
Thinking about the green dragon that had stolen the master's jade dish and wanted to fly away, but was caught back by the master at the last moment, and the jade dish swallowed by the black hole flew with the black hole to the Xuanwu Continent... .
Then he met it on Tianhuang Mountain and refused to leave it. Finally, it was used as a sword-sharpening stone and put into the space ring.
Such a cause and effect, even if you beat him to death, you can't figure it out even if you try to break your own head?
That stone...
Li Xiuwu murmured: "The stone came to me on its own, so I have a causal relationship with the old man?"
The old Taoist priest sighed and said leisurely: "If you weren't carrying the jade plate, would the stone come to you? If I remember correctly, the stone has been under the stone slab under you for thousands of years. ..."
"That being said, it does make some sense."
Li Xiuyuan thought for a while, if it weren't for the jade disc fragment, he probably wouldn't have met the old turtle in the mountain, let alone the opportunity to obtain the ancient Luan Bird for Yu Wen Liuli.
After thinking about it, all of this seems to be related to his master.
"Master..." Li Xiuyuan looked at the dense air in front of him and shouted unwillingly in his heart. He thought that such a perfect match, why couldn't his sister and others enjoy it?
"Stop it, drink tea!"
The old Taoist priest saw through his mind at a glance. He washed the cups and warmed the pot and poured the spiritual tea into it. He replied calmly: "Time and space are different, civilizations are different, and the opportunities are naturally different!"
The voice of the old Taoist priest was not loud, like the spring breeze coming into the world like rain, inadvertently nourishing the seeds in the young man's heart that had been dormant for many years.
But Li Xiuyuan felt like a chess piece on the chessboard, allowing his master to move and jump.
There is always a bit of unwillingness in my heart.
Looking at the spiritual tea in his hand, Li Xiuyuan was silent and then said in surprise: "Master, why is this? The disciple's face turned black again?"
It was as if there was a thunder above his head, like a sudden heavy rain on a hot summer day. Li Xiuyuan felt that the sky was suddenly dark, just like that day in Tag Snow Mountain when heavy snow was coming.
The old Taoist priest holding a cup of tea glanced at him and said calmly: "Where is the Buddhist teaching you have learned?"
"All appearances..."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned and thought to himself that I am not a disciple of Buddhism. I am walking in the world. Could it be that I show a black face to others every day? So I had to smile bitterly.
Holding a cup of steaming spiritual tea, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in the cup, he said in a daze: "What kind of cause and effect is this?"
The old Taoist priest took a sip of tea and couldn't help but laugh when he thought about the little black horse in the jade disc world.
Then he said with emotion: "If you get that jade plate, you have to bear the cause and effect of the green dragon... Those evil spirits are the source of his survival... but they are poison to you... ....”
"When you practice Buddhism, don't you keep saying that the Buddha is in hell? If you don't go to hell, how can you understand the suffering of hell?"
The old Taoist priest looked at his precious disciple with eyes full of love.
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he thought for a moment and lowered his head and replied: "I never thought about entering the devil's way in the ancient land? Could it be that you want your disciples to suck the essence and blood of monsters and finally use the essence and blood of monks as nourishment?"
"Didn't the Green Dragon tell you that if you want to become a Buddha, you must first become a demon?"
The old Taoist priest sighed, looked at him and said: "As for you who have entered the demonic path, do you have to suck the blood of monsters to practice? What is a demon? What is a Buddha? Why do you practice?"
Speaking of this, the old Taoist priest's voice suddenly dropped.
He said quietly: "It's like your master has imprisoned your whole body of cultivation. Can't you practice? Just like when you left the Prajna Temple in Fangcun Mountain, you can no longer practice Buddhism or recite scriptures?" "
Li Xiuyuan was slightly startled, and for a moment he frowned tightly, thinking about what the old Taoist said, with an incredible look in his eyes.
After much deliberation, I realized that my master was right. Could it be that because I entered the demonic realm, I had to absorb the vitality and blood essence of monsters and monks to practice?
The old Taoist priest looked at his surprised look and said seriously: "The old monk you met on the Shura battlefield still has a period of karma that has not yet been resolved. If you don't go to hell, who will?"
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he was stunned and completely speechless.
The old Taoist priest shook his head, looked at him lovingly, and said, "Even if the monks in the world think you have become a demon, are you a demon? Do you think that disciples who have entered Buddhism can become Buddhas? Monks who have become demons cannot ?”
Looking at the spring water that was gradually boiling on the stove in front of him, Li Xiuyuan lowered his head and became silent.
Although he understood what the old Taoist priest said, if the matter really happened to him, it would have a different outcome.
After all, thinking and doing are two completely different results.
Looking at the dark cloud slowly floating in the sky, he sighed softly and thought to himself that as the youngest disciple of his master, he had entered the devil's path and suffered some injustices in the world, so what?
The old Taoist priest frowned as he looked at his disciple's silence.
Just the smallest thing in your mind can make you uneasy. What if you return to Mount Sumeru in the future?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "No matter what happens, just keep a normal mind! Don't forget that your phaseless golden body is for cultivating the mind, not the body."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned, listening to the master's teachings, and said softly: "Master, just because I have suffered so much, how about you let me complain a little?"
The old Taoist priest was stunned. Looking into his eyes, he said: "You understand the truth yourself, so I won't say more... There is one more thing to tell you. I took away the big man Zhu Yan you met in the mountains. ."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned and blurted out with a smile: "What should I say? That fool just disappeared for one night and disappeared... It turns out that he followed the master and left the ancient world."
"His fate with you is not at the moment."
The old Taoist priest thought for a while and said, "You don't have to think too much about this matter. One day you will understand it... What else do you have? Tell me quickly."
Li Xiuyuan shrugged, with a meaningless look on his face: "That idiot promised to give me some elixir, and for this reason, I even taught him how to make wine..."
Having said this, Li Xiuyuan's eyes lit up and he laughed while looking at the old Taoist priest.
He said with a proud face: "Master, you can let that idiot make wine for you. He brewed the wine himself and secretly took away half of the spiritual wine when he left..."
The old Taoist priest was startled when he heard this, and then laughed and said: "This is an unexpected surprise you gave me... Those elixirs have already gone somewhere, so don't take your anger out on him."
"Anyway, you will understand this one day." The old Taoist priest suddenly felt better when he thought about the important matter of drinking in the future.
He waved his hand and said: "Remember: whether it is the prehistoric world or the Xuanwu Continent, you are just a passerby."
After saying something mysterious and mysterious, the old Taoist waved his hand and disappeared from Li Xiuyuan's eyes.
...
"Boom!" A thunder sounded, and a midsummer rainstorm came.
Li Xiuyuan in Nirvana was like an insect that had been dormant all winter. In a burst of rich golden light, he stretched out a hand from the huge cocoon.
He shouted loudly and said: "Old monster, the invincible Shura is back again!"
Then there was a beeping sound, and Li Xiuyuan came out after Nirvana. He looked up and saw that there was only a silver iron chain left, and there was no trace of the old man or the green dragon.
Missing? Or are you finally out of trouble?
Without any time to think, Li Xiuyuan flew forward and put away the iron chain made of divine iron, turned around and ran out of the cave.
The weather was unforgiving, and he had already heard a rumble of thunder in the sky outside the cave.
After completing the fourth turn of Phoenix Nirvana in the most dangerous situation, he will face the test or punishment of the heavenly way in the prehistoric world.
He didn't even have time to think about why he just disappeared from the old man after Nirvana.
After four rounds of Phoenix Nirvana, he leapt forward as lightly as a swallow. He didn't care about the old man's whereabouts and rushed headlong into the heavy rain.
The moment he rushed out, there was another thunder in the sky.
He didn't know whether this was summer thunder or the way of heaven in the prehistoric world warning him that after tens of millions of years, there would be no gods here, let alone anyone creating gods here.
Looking up at the calamity clouds rolling in the sky, Li Xiuyuan sighed, and towards the big lake not far down the mountain, he stretched out the phoenix wings behind him with a clatter.
Like a phoenix leaving its nest, it flew over the great lake.
"Isn't it just to overcome the tribulation? I'm ready, come and chop me!" The young man in the air cheered and went down the mountain to the lake.
