Plop!
The already rough river surface was instantly hit by several white waves several feet high.
The big black fish reared up from the middle, opened its bloody mouth, and sucked hard with its mouth full of sharp teeth.
The flying sword with yellow paper in mid-air was swallowed.
"You're the one I'm waiting for..."
Xia Zhichan removed the spell cast on the yellow paper and clapped both hands at the same time.
"Get into formation!"
"Amitabha……"
Zen Master Fu Kong also clasped his hands together almost at the same time and said to the giant catfish rolling on the river surface:
"Buddha said that flowers in the mirror, flowers in the water, and the moon are ultimately just dreams."
Several golden Sanskrit words flew out of the great monk's mouth, and then slowly floated to the big catfish's forehead.
The eyes of the huge fish were filled with golden Buddha light. Originally driven by hunger, it now forgot what it was doing and even its instinct to swim.
The fish's fins swung a few times, and its black body fell directly into the river.
With a loud bang, unstoppable waves spread in all directions, and many large rocks sunk at the bottom of the river were swept up by the current and washed to the river bank.
The Dao Jue held by Xia Zhichan's hands changed, and the previously buried formation stones instantly emitted blue light, forming a huge circle formation where the catfish fell.
A blue light flashed by, and then everything disappeared.
White mist rose up due to the surging waves, covering the entire river surface, and for a while no one could see the movement in the river.
There was no movement - hiss, it couldn't be that it ran away.
Xia Zhichan frowned. He felt that he should not be so unlucky. After spending a long time and spending an unknown amount of energy and energy, he finally got such a failed result.
The autumn wind by the river was very cold, blowing the clothes of everyone.
Jiang Qin wanted to summon her sword back. She pointed it into a sword and raised it up, but she felt that the connection between herself and the sword was suddenly broken.
She also frowned and pursed her lips.
"Amitabha……"
Zen Master Fukong was the first to open his eyebrows. He looked at the river happily, then nodded slightly and said:
"Good."
"Master, you mean we succeeded? But why can't I feel..."
Xia Zhichan let the illusion array run, but he was not sure whether the catfish spirit was trapped inside. After all, although the catfish spirit was huge, it had no evil aura, so there was no way to tell.
There are countless fish in the river. How do you know the one trapped in the fish tank is the one you want?
"Hahaha, if you see it, you don't see it. If you don't see it, you see it."
Zen Master Fu Kong obviously can't see things, but many times when you get along with him, you forget this. His invisible eyes can see even more clearly than others.
He waved his sleeves and robes a few times to disperse some of the white mist on the river.
Across the river, you can see a huge figure swimming under the water. It is like a working mule and horse. It can only circle around in a certain area, but it cannot swim. go out.
"It's done!"
Xia Zhichan took a deep breath and said with a smile.
Jiang Qin on the side was still frowning and unhappy. She knew that the big fish was now trapped by them, which was of course a good thing, but her sword was also buried in the belly of the fish.
Crunch, crunch.
The black catfish was swimming while trying hard to chew on the flying sword that it had just managed to grab. The sword body had been completely deformed, and there were pits gnawed by the fish's teeth.
To the catfish, this flying sword is like a big bone that has no meat at all but has a very meaty taste. It can only chew hard.
Xia Zhichan looked at the sword that had turned into a piece of scrap metal in the fish's mouth, and then looked at Jiang Qin who was frowning and pursed his mouth with an unhappy expression:
"Uh... I'll pay you back later."
"snort!"
Jiang Qin turned around and left, and a white rainbow disappeared into the horizon.
"Alas...it's my fault again."
Xia Zhichan shrugged his shoulders. He had nothing to say now. After all, it was really because of him that Jiang Qin's sword was buried in the belly of a fish.
"Amitabha……"
Zen Master Fukong waited for Jiang Qin to leave before he came over. He always smiled and recited a Buddha's name first, and then continued:
"Xia Lingguan, in this world of mortals, no one can escape love and hatred..."
Xia Zhichan was very happy at first, but because Jiang Qin was angry about the flying sword, and now she saw Zen Master Fu Kong coming over to make sarcastic remarks, she immediately rolled her eyes.
He asked rhetorically:
"Master, you are also a human being. May I ask if you have ever been troubled by this kind of 'gratitude and resentment'?"
Xia Zhichan means that if you dare to say no, I can tell from what you just said. You said that no one can escape. If you don't, it means you are not a human being.
If you dare to say that there is, then at least he is not the only one who is embarrassed.
As a monk who is empty of all four elements, he has also been troubled by grudges and hatreds. How could you be empty of all four elements?
"Hahaha, Buddha said that you can see through the mortal world. If you don't enter this mortal world, how can you see through the mortal world."
When Zen Master Fukong said this, he suddenly paused. He seemed to remember something, and shook his head with some pity before continuing:
"Before the old monk entered the monastery, he was also a reckless man who dared to love and hate. He once became a beauty in anger and had a big fight with the Zhan family in Kaifeng Mansion."
"The Zhan family in Kaifeng is one of the four most famous families in the world. It is a martial arts family that is good at Qinggong and swordsmanship, and its ancestors have an unclear relationship with the government. How dare you go against the Zhan family in Kaifeng Mansion."
Xia Zhichan's eyes were opened now. She remembered that the kind-hearted monk in front of her was a terrifying figure who could kill three hundred bandits in one night when he was young and wandering around the world. This shows the martial arts of the Smiling King Kong at that time. So bold.
"The old monk remembers that he injured many masters of the Zhan family that time. The attack was not serious at that time, and he almost killed many people..."
Zen Master Fu Kong squinted his eyes, and his flat tone seemed to be telling someone else's story.
"What happened next? How could the Kaifeng Zhan family just give up..."
Xia Zhichan naturally understood that these aristocratic families were surprisingly consistent in how they dealt with matters that hurt the family's face. After all, face is what matters most when traveling in the world. Once you lose face, you won't be able to survive in the world.
"Later, I found out that the girl I thought was forcibly taken away by the Zhan family was actually the little daughter of the head of the Zhan family who escaped..."
Having said this, Fu Kong obviously slowed down his tone.
In front of his eyes, he seemed to see the unruly and willful woman who still looked unhappy even though she was tied up with a tendon rope. She just shouted for help at that time, but why did he rush over by accident...
"Ah? Isn't that a huge misunderstanding..."
Xia Zhichan's eyes widened. He couldn't believe what was happening at that time. The young Zen Master Fu Kong fought with the masters of the Zhan family for the sake of the tied little daughter of the Zhan family.
"Later, when my words became clear, I realized that I had done something wrong with good intentions. Although no one in the Zhan family died, many people were seriously injured and vomited blood by me. The head of the Zhan family personally came forward to talk to me about this matter..."
Zen Master Fukong stood by the river, the cold wind blowing some of his gray hair.
The past is always like a fish in this river. Sometimes it sinks to the bottom and disappears, sometimes it suddenly pops up on the surface of the water, but it also passes by in a flash.
Only when he reached his twilight years did he realize how much he had done wrong and how much he had missed.
"The head of the Zhan family made a deal with me. As long as I do it, no matter what the result is, the grievances between the Zhan family and me will be wiped out."
"What are the conditions?"
Xia Zhichan was curious about what kind of conditions the head of the Zhan family would offer to embarrass the young Zen Master Fu Kong. After all, many people in his family had been seriously injured. If it was not handled properly, even his own family would not agree, let alone outsiders.
"You know."
Zen Master Fukong did not answer Xia Zhichan directly, but said something incomprehensible.
I know. Could it be...
Xia Zhichan swallowed and expressed his guess:
"Is it possible that when you went up the mountain to kill three hundred bandits alone, that was the condition the Zhan family set with you?"
The Laughing King Kong killed hundreds of bandits in a village by himself. This incident can be said to have shocked the entire world and made his reputation spread far and wide.
"Yes. The bandits at that time were really vicious. The local magistrate asked the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture, and the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture had no choice but to find the Zhan family, but in the end it fell on me inexplicably."
Zen Master Fu Kong nodded. Everyone in the world knew about the Smiling King Kong who killed all the bandits in one night, but few people knew why he went up the mountain and why he wanted to kill the bandits on that mountain.
"You are so awesome."
Xia Zhichan sighed sincerely.
You must know that at that time, Zen Master Fu Kong had not yet entered Buddhism, which meant that he could defeat one against a hundred just by relying on the martial arts he had learned, which shows his talent and ability.
"Hahahaha, it's just some young and frivolous stupidity."
"You mentioned the part about grievances and grievances in 'Grudges, Love and Enmity', then this love..."
Xia Zhichan held back a smile and looked at Zen Master Fu Kong. He also wanted to know if the old monk had any romantic affairs when he was young.
"Amitabha……"
Zen Master Fu Kong suddenly put his hands together and recited a Buddha's name.
There was a rare hesitation on his calm face that had experienced vicissitudes of life, and his gray beard and hair represented the length of time that had passed through him.
"she……"
He only said one word, and then he didn't know how to continue.
Even Zen Master Fukong, who has experienced the vicissitudes of life like Mount Tai, is reluctant to recall her who made him unforgettable.
Xia Zhichan closed her mouth at the side, because the emotion emanating from just that word was enough to say a lot of things.
He pursed his lips and said no more.
Zen Master Fu Kong lowered his hands that had been clasped together, and his dim eyes turned to the distance.
"I saw the Buddha, I saw all living beings..."
As he was speaking, two bloody tears suddenly fell from the corners of his eyes.
"But I dare not look at her again."
