Above the nine heavens, under the green pear tree.
The old monk sighed and said with a smile: "You are responsible for all this, but don't reveal the result to the mother-in-law and your old monk until the last moment."
Watson was startled when he heard this. After a while, he touched Xiaoxue's cocoon and laughed.
"So, you are more powerful than me?"
The old monk under the tree smiled and asked: "Watson, how many demons and ghosts did you kill by hiding under that abyss?"
Watson chuckled, looked at the cocoon in front of him and said, "I can't defeat those demons and ghosts, so I thought of a way to cultivate Buddhism in the abyss..."
"When I carve Buddhist scriptures on the stone wall, I will deal with those demons who refuse to reincarnate..."
The old monk was startled when he heard this, and then he laughed: "This method is not bad, you should practice it well under the abyss."
Watson nodded, put away the wine bottle, closed the door, and walked out.
The old monk looked at the old Taoist priest in front of him and smiled bitterly: "Look, this guy is also like Li Xiuyuan, learning to practice Buddhism in the abyss."
The old Taoist priest laughed when he heard this, patted the table in front of him, and replied: "This kid is really smart. He knows that he can't beat him, so he knows how to think in many ways and change his method."
The old monk was thinking about Li Xiuyuan who was going through the tribulation in the Tang Dynasty. He looked at the old Taoist priest and asked, "How long will it take for your precious disciple to survive the second half of the tribulation?"
The old Taoist priest spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "You ask me, who should I ask?"
The old monk thought something was wrong, stared at him and asked, "Is it possible that he wants to watch Xiao Yu and Xiao Hei leave?"
The old Taoist priest was also startled when he heard this, slapped his thigh and said: "
Let me tell you, it is possible. "
When the mother-in-law brought Chen Ling to Watson's courtyard, Watson had already brewed a pot of spiritual tea, and there were three cups on the table, emitting a faint spiritual energy.
Looking at Watson with a tired look on his face, Liao Chen said distressedly: "Right now, none of the monks at the foot of the mountain can enter Yunqi Temple, so why don't you rest more."
Watson nodded and said with a smile: "Disciple, don't be in a hurry this time. Master, mother-in-law, please have tea."
The mother-in-law sighed and asked, "Have you seen Xiaoxue? What should I do if she looks like this?"
Watson smiled faintly when he heard this: "If Xiaoxue is really Little Dragon Girl, it will only take a few years. I heard the seniors in the family said this..."
There was no way to elaborate on this matter, and Watson didn't dare to elaborate. Besides, the old monk didn't give him any accurate information.
Seeing Watson's calm look, Liao Chen understood something at the same time.
After all, his disciples are not just monks in this world. I am afraid they have already seen dragons and phoenixes.
He took a sip of the spiritual tea and then asked: "How is your practice under the abyss?"
Watson put down the tea cup in his hand and replied: "It's okay. This is still on the second floor. I don't know how many floors there are down there?"
Upon hearing this, the mother-in-law asked distressedly: "I said it will happen, can't you bring one more person to help?"
Watson shook his head: "My sister couldn't go at the beginning, let alone the disciples in the temple. They would die if they went in. Even I was scared..."
For Watson, a person, a sword, wandering in the unknown abyss, even if he encounters countless setbacks, he will be tortured to death.
That
It was also his own trouble. If he suddenly had a companion, how could he have the ability to protect others?
It's better to be alone and not be responsible to anyone.
Liao Chen sighed. He knew that it was not easy for Watson to be under the abyss, dealing with those unconscious demons, and he could not bring negative emotions back to the courtyard.
One must endure the loneliness and loneliness under the abyss, and even the fear of death...
Thinking of this, Liao Chen looked at his mother-in-law and smiled and said: "There is a small town at the bottom of the mountain. Life here is convenient, so senior can live here with Xiaoxue at ease."
The mother-in-law thought for a moment, then looked at the master and apprentice and said with a bitter smile: "It seems that Xue'er and I will be disturbing Yunqi Temple for several years."
Watson smiled faintly and replied: "It doesn't matter, I don't know how many years I will stay under the abyss."
In his opinion, the demons on the second level have not yet begun to be cleaned up.
I don’t know what the final effect of this trick I used will be? After all, he'd never tried it.
Fortunately, the old monk above Jiutian gave him confidence and gave him the courage to continue practicing. Otherwise, we can only drag the Demon-Conquering Sword and fight those demons one by one.
…
In the following days, while Watson was guarding Xiaoxue at home, her mother-in-law went down the mountain to the town to buy a bunch of items needed for daily life.
Watson was not in a hurry to return to the abyss, but spent half a day every day reading Buddhist scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion and visiting the Buddhas in the Big Buddha.
He felt the evil energy in his body, and the attacks became more and more frequent.
He wanted to use the scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the Buddhist temple to suppress this evil spirit.
At least when he is clear
It cannot continue to deteriorate until the devil under the abyss is dealt with.
Neither his master nor his mother-in-law could help him, not even the old monk from Yunqi Temple. He had to rely on himself.
When the old monk saw something was wrong with Watson, he couldn't help but come to the Sutra Pavilion. He looked at Watson sitting by the window, holding a scroll of Buddhist scriptures and asked, "Are you in trouble?"
Watson shook his head: "It's not really a trouble, I just want to come to the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion to read more Buddhist scriptures."
Seeing that Watson didn't say anything, the old monk couldn't ask any more questions, so he could only let him go.
Back in the courtyard, Watson squatted under the eaves to sharpen his sword.
The mother-in-law looked at the pile of iron swords on the ground and couldn't help laughing: "These are just the most common iron swords. What is the use of sharpening so many swords?"
Watson chuckled: "These swords can slay demons and carve Buddhist scriptures on stone walls. Even if they are broken, you won't feel bad if they are broken."
There was another sentence he didn't say. If he were to carve on the stone wall with the Demon-Conquering Heavy Sword, it would cost him half his life.
After all, Watson couldn't gather his spiritual energy at all at the moment. He was still looking forward to reading more Buddhist scriptures and carving the scroll in his hand under the abyss several times.
Then go and understand the elusive third level of mind.
The old monk only told him that he would break through after enlightenment, but he did not tell him how to achieve enlightenment.
Coupled with his understanding of Buddhism, Watson is simply not as good as Li Xiuyuan. You must know that Li Xiuyuan was a child, and the first book that opened his mind was the Buddhist scripture in Watson's hand.
When her mother-in-law heard this, she had no choice but to let Watson go. After all, her practice of Buddhism was not as good as Watson's.
…
I stayed quietly in the small courtyard for seven days, read a few more volumes of Buddhist scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion, and saw all the Buddhas in the main hall.
likeness.
Watson entered the abyss again and continued the unfinished Buddhist scriptures.
This time, he stayed under the abyss for seventeen days.
At this time, half of summer had passed, and there were no curious monks outside the mountain gate because it was too hot.
Even if there are a few people who are unwilling to give up, they stay in the town below the mountain and wait for news.
The Supreme Elder of Kunlun became an idiot in Yunqi Temple, and the imperial guards were killed by the sacred mountain. This matter finally spread throughout the world and reached the emperor.
At this time, Jiang Qingqing had returned to Jiashi Imperial City.
She didn't tell anyone about her sister's situation, but she just looked at the prince and said, "Husband, please tell me that the emperor will never send anyone to Yunqi Temple to die again. Now he can't even enter the mountain gate..."
When the prince heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's better now. Even the Supreme Elder of Kunlun has become an idiot... I will go and talk to my father after the morning session tomorrow morning."
Jiang Qingqing looked into the prince's eyes and said quietly: "Whoever dares to go again is seeking death... My mother-in-law and Xiaoxue will probably practice in Yunqi Temple in the next few years."
Just the most ordinary sentence, Jiang Qingqing blocked all the prince's imagination.
There is a mother-in-law at Yunqi Temple, not to mention the Supreme Elder of Kunlun, and even the Imperial City's imperial guards dare not go there to cause trouble.
She knew that her mother-in-law must be in a bad mood right now because of what happened to her sister. Anyone who goes there is seeking death.
At this time, Zhu Jiu was sweating profusely in Phoenix Mountain.
His round figure has lost more than one circle of weight, causing him to be unable to wear all his clothes.
As a result, Hua Yu had to accompany him to a small town at the foot of the mountain, where he ordered several new sets of clothes and even bought a few pairs of shoes.
magnificent
Yu looked at Zhu Jiu and said with a smile: "I don't dare to do more for you, because I'm afraid you will lose weight in two months."
Zhu Jiu shook his head and shouted: "If I lose weight any more, I will die in Phoenix Mountain."
Hua Yu was too lazy to pay attention to him and walked towards the mountain.
While replying: "Think about my brother, he is not as pretentious as you. I guess you need to lose another ten pounds."
Zhu Jiu gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "I heard that the Supreme Elder of Kunlun went to trouble my brother, but was turned into an idiot by the divine light falling from Wentian Peak..."
Hua Yu smiled faintly: "He deserves it. The elders of the academy have been deposed by my brother, and they still dare to go to Yunqi Temple to cause trouble."
Zhu Jiu thought for a while and asked: "How about we also go to Yunqi Temple next year? I haven't been there yet?"
Hua Yu thought for a while and replied: "You have to ask the master about this. My brother said at the beginning that you are not allowed to leave Phoenix until you break through the distraction zone."
Zhu Jiu patted the newly bought clothes, feeling a little awkward.
He followed behind and shouted: "Maybe next spring, what if your senior sister regains her memory and wants to find my brother?"
Hua Yu shook her head, looked back at him and sighed.
He said quietly: "I'm afraid that my senior sister's family will come to find me. As far as I know, she had a marriage back then..."
…
In the imperial city, there is Shengmiao Temple.
Huangfu Xiurong sat quietly in front of the Buddha and looked at the Bodhisattva on the altar who had been sitting blankly for an hour without speaking or drinking water.
When the news of Yunqi Temple reached the imperial city, and when Jiang Qingqing told her personally that except for pilgrims, the monks at the foot of the mountain could not even enter the mountain gate of Yunqi Temple.
He heard this news better than him
It was even more shocking when the Kunlun Supreme Elder turned into an idiot.
Until now, he did not dare to meet the Supreme Elders of Kunlun.
You must know that every Supreme Elder is Kunlun's treasure and her predecessor... But now, because of her, someone died in Yunqi Temple.
However, the mother-in-law simply stayed with Xiaoxue in Yunqi Temple forever and did not plan to return to the Imperial City and Kunlun. This was what she was afraid of.
Until this moment, Jiang Qingqing still had not told her mother about her sister's situation.
Because her mother-in-law did not allow her to tell anyone, only Master Liaochen and the old monk knew about Yunqi Temple.
Jiang Qingqing also knew that this matter was of great importance. How could she dare to make fun of her sister's life?
Cheng Jing, who was sitting in front of her, also had a headache, because since she fell into the water last time and was shouted off by the head of Phoenix Mountain, the senior sister had not allowed her to go out again.
It is said that the wind and rain of the world are not allowed to blow into Shengmiao'an unless she wants to leave.
Looking at Huangfu Xiurong who was helpless in front of her, she couldn't think of any way, so she had to say: "Since my mother-in-law and Xiaoxue are both at Qiyun Temple, it's best for junior sister to leave this matter alone."
"I'm just unwilling." Huangfu Xiurong sighed and replied with a wry smile.
Cheng Jing noticed something strange about Huangfu Xiurong and said quickly: "Not to mention you, even the elders in Kunlun have to listen to my mother-in-law. Don't be stupid again."
Cheng Yi, who was sitting aside, looked at the two people in front of him calmly.
After thinking for a while, he said: "I have always warned you that practicing Buddhism is to calm your hearts, but now, look at yourselves, what do you look like?"
Cheng Yi spoke word by word without giving any face to the two of them.
Experience now
Having understood so many things, there is no need to discuss who is right and wrong. Even Kunlun's mother-in-law, who is the most powerful and has the highest status, also stands in Watson's position.
Does she still need to explain this truth to the two of them again and again?
After thinking for a while, Cheng Yi continued: "This is good, even if you two want to go to Yunqi Temple, you can't even enter the mountain gate."
