Yuzhang City, Dacheng Temple.
Li Daoxuan lightly knocked on the door, but found that no one opened the door.
He used his golden power and reached out to gently finger the door lock. The next moment, the hanging iron lock opened automatically, revealing the simple and quiet scenery inside.
Li Daoxuan walked into the temple and found that there were no traces of habitation here. The courtyard was overgrown with grass, and there was a thick layer of spider webs on the firewood in the courtyard.
The Third Buddha in the temple looked even more dilapidated and lonely, and even the last trace of gold leaf on his body had been taken away.
Obviously, Xuanzang and Master Sanle have left here and have not come back for some time.
Li Daoxuan stopped in front of the Buddha statue of Sakyamuni. A letter was held in the Buddha's hand, like a flower.
Li Daoxuan took out the letter, opened it and read it.
This is Xuanzang's calligraphy. His calligraphy is very handsome, neat and meticulous, full of Zen and unconventional.
"Brother Li, Master said that he would take me to travel and teach me the art of cultivation. In order to prevent you from finding me here, I leave this letter. Master said that everything in the world has a destiny. Maybe we can meet again soon. When we meet, maybe I will surprise you."
The first half of the letter was normal, but there was a sense of happiness and expectation in the back. It was obvious that Xuanzang was finally able to practice, and he was very confident that he would achieve success on the road of practice.
Li Daoxuan smiled slightly, maybe he would be really surprised when they meet again next time.
I wonder what kind of light this future eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty can shine in this world?
The only pity is that Master Sanle is a very powerful helper, and he cannot be invited to join this trip to the underworld.
Li Daoxuan was about to leave when he suddenly heard a noise coming from the water tank in the corner of the yard.
Dongdong!
It seemed as if something was constantly flapping in the water tank.
Li Daoxuan walked over, opened the water tank, and found that it was a small red carp. The carp was very tired, but it was still waving its tail and slapping the tank wall.
When Li Daoxuan opened the water tank, he was very excited.
"Strange, why is there a carp here?"
Li Daoxuan put his hand into the water tank and found that the little carp swam into his hand very intelligently and did not resist, as if he knew that Li Daoxuan wanted to save it.
"interesting."
Seeing how spiritual it was, Li Daoxuan smiled slightly and used his water power to create a ball of clear water on his palm, surrounding the little carp.
Knowing that it had been hungry for a long time, Li Daoxuan specially added some spiritual energy to the water and slowly injected it into its body.
The dark scales of the little carp immediately became shiny, and its eyes were even brighter. It jumped for joy and swam back and forth in the water.
Li Daoxuan took it to the river and put it into the river.
The little carp actually didn't leave for a long time. Finally, when he saw Li Daoxuan turning around and leaving, he reluctantly dived into the water.
…
On a steep mountain road, Xuanzang was walking forward panting with a gray face, parched lips and dry mouth, leaning on a wooden stick. Behind him, Master Sanle was lying comfortably on the auspicious clouds, eating grapes and floating in the air. Beside the apprentice.
"Xuan Zang, stop and rest quickly. You have been walking for a day and a night."
Xuanzang looked at the sweet and tempting grapes and couldn't help but swallowed, but he still said resolutely: "Master, we agreed that as long as I can climb the seventy-two mountains, you will teach me how to practice. This is It’s the last one, so don’t break your promise!”
"Never break your promise, never break your promise!"
After Xuanzang heard this, he gritted his teeth and continued to walk through the mountain road.
Looking at his apprentice's resolute back, San Le showed a satisfied smile.
When the sun was about to set, Xuanzang finally climbed to the top of the mountain. He fell to the ground so tired, looking at the sunset in the sky, showing an excited smile.
He did it, he succeeded!
The sunset soaked through the clouds, like a red carp.
carp……
Xuanzang slapped his head and suddenly got up from the ground. His originally determined eyes were covered with mist, and he was so panicked that he almost cried.
"Master, it's not good, we have to go back to the temple quickly!"
"I forgot to release Xiao Hong!"
He bought the little carp from the fishmonger because the master once said that chanting sutras has the effect of opening up wisdom and awakening spirituality, so he bought a small carp and recited sutras to it every day. Let’s test whether Master’s statement is correct.
The effect is not clear, but over time, he became more and more familiar with the little carp and regarded it as his friend.
But later, the master suddenly said that he wanted to travel far away, and also said that he would teach himself how to practice. Xuanzang was so excited that he forgot to release Xiaohong.
He was now very worried whether Xiaohong would suffocate to death in that water tank. If so, then his sin would be huge.
When he thought of this, he no longer had the intention to practice.
San Le counted with his fingers, and then laughed and said: "Xuan Zang, don't worry, that little carp has been released by Li Daoxuan."
"Brother Li is looking for me!"
Xuanzang's eyes lit up. Li Daoxuan was his first human friend. Before that, he could only talk to flowers, birds, insects and fish.
Sanle nodded and muttered in a low voice: "The trouble this kid is causing is getting bigger and bigger. Fortunately, I run fast, otherwise I might have to be dragged in by him."
Hearing that Xiao Hong had been released, Xuanzang breathed a sigh of relief. He began to look forward to the cultivation methods that the master was about to teach. The next time he saw Brother Li, he would definitely surprise him!
Sanle rubbed it in his arms, and finally took out a very beautiful book and threw it to Xuanzang.
Xuanzang opened this secret book with great excitement.
However, the next moment, he felt like he was struck by thunder and could hardly believe his eyes.
"Great Joy Zen——"
"Ahem, I took it by mistake, I took it by mistake!"
Master Sanle blew a breath, and the album immediately disappeared into ashes.
His fat face was slightly red, he took off his shoes, poured out a tattered secret book from it, threw it to Xuanzang and said: "This book is definitely correct, it is it. The top skills of our sect can only be used by the most unparalleled ones." Only geniuses can practice!"
Xuanzang was speechless.
A superb skill...you use it to pad your shoes?
But since the master said this, he still held a glimmer of hope, held his breath, and opened this tattered secret book.
"Three hundred children's songs?"
At this moment, even Xuanzang's gentle and kind-hearted character couldn't stand it any longer. He said aggrievedly: "Master, what are all these things?"
What he wants is to be like Brother Li, to be able to slay demons with a sword, fly to the sky and escape from the earth, and become a hero in the eyes of the world. He does not want to be a singer.
Could it be that when he saw Brother Li again in the future and asked himself what he had learned, would he say he had learned to sing children's songs, or three hundred songs?
Xuanzang felt his face burning. Just thinking about it made him completely unable to accept it.
Sanle touched his bald head and said with a smile: "The most dazzling pearls in the world are often hidden under the sea. Don't underestimate this book "Three Hundred Children's Songs". Magical powers can kill monsters, but they can't make them sincerely repent. This "Three Hundred Children's Songs" is different, the truth, goodness and beauty in it can make even the cruelest monster put down its butcher knife, how can it not be awesome?"
Seeing Xuanzang's unbelieving look, Sanle secretly said that his disciple was too old to be deceived, and comforted him: "Mysteries are hidden from view. If one day, you can understand the essence of "Three Hundred Children's Songs", You will find that it is indeed a peerless skill!”
After saying this, San Le quickly ran away and lay down under a tree, saying, "Master, I'm sleepy. Let's sleep for a while!"
Xuanzang held this book "Three Hundred Children's Songs". Although he didn't really believe what the master said, he still decided to give it a try.
As night falls, along with the snoring of Master Sanle, there is also the sound of noisy children's songs.
“Little darling, quickly discover the love in your heart~~”
"Love can influence everything, ah, I love you~"
"Little monkey, come into the palm of your hand, come and learn to love, don't pee everywhere~"
brush!
A smelly shoe hit Xuanzang's face. Sanle sat up and said angrily: "Stop singing, it's so unpleasant!"
Xuanzang's eyes were wet, and he fell to the ground in despair and looked at the night sky. He clenched the fish intestine sword at his waist and thought of Li Daoxuan.
"Brother Li, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you again in the future..."
Even if they meet, they have to stay away.
The poor monk is no longer clean.
…
"Ah sneeze!"
In the night sky, Li Daoxuan stepped on the auspicious clouds, his long hair fluttering, and flew away from the sea of stars in an instant. The mountains and rivers under his feet flew quickly, like a shooting star.
He sneezed suddenly, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange. Could it be that the weather was getting colder?
Shaking his head, Li Daoxuan continued on his way. Under the power of Zhaoyun, it only took him an hour to get from Yuzhang City to Liling City and back to his uncle's courtyard.
At this time, it was only one day since he left for Qing Ning Realm, mainly because he had been delayed in Qing Ning Realm for a long time.
There were clear forging sounds in the courtyard. It was Junior Brother Wu Wei who was forging his magic weapon. It was said that many unspeakable "little tricks" were added to his three invincible treasures.
The others had not come back yet. Li Daoxuan did not bother his junior brother. Instead, he sat alone in the yard and took out two things.
One is the sword fairy token, and the other is the rag doll given by Mo Mo.
He did not intend to use the token immediately, but planned to wait for his master and uncle to return before deciding whether to use it or not.
As for this rag doll...
Li Dao
Maybe it really holds some secret...
"Brother, you are back!"
Wu Wei walked out of the room, holding the stick in his hand. When he saw Li Daoxuan, his eyes lit up and he smiled: "Brother, I was just thinking about you. I had a genius idea, which is to combine Lei Fa with this What do you think about combining two sticks so that after hitting an enemy, in addition to the rapidly rotating spikes, it can also release thunder?"
Li Daoxuan imagined that scene and felt a chill behind his back.
He looked at the pale golden stick with strange eyes. Why was this thing getting more and more outrageous?
