Shen Luo and the two followed and started climbing along the mountain path.
It is very different from when it sank into Fangcun Mountain in the past. There are no devastated and damaged buildings, and there are no piles of bones hidden by the side of the road. There are only red walls and green tiles hidden in the shade of green trees.
Shen Luo had to admit that Fangcun Mountain, which had not been destroyed, could really be called a blessed place, a cave, a fairyland on earth.
There are many pavilions and pavilions in the mountains, and the arch bridges are connected with corridors. Among them, you can see deer jumping, cranes dancing, and a peaceful atmosphere.
Chapter 1325 Bodhi Patriarch
The three of them walked through a cliff, and saw several strange-looking demon monks, who were fighting with each other, as if they were fighting for whose transformation technique was stronger.
While passing through a pavilion, I met two people fighting with each other using talisman techniques. Although the fight was very fierce, there were smiles on each other's faces, obviously enjoying it very much.
"Is this how the noble sect's daily practice is?" Fu Donglai couldn't help asking.
"That's not true. On weekdays, there will be elders teaching their subordinate disciples and guiding their practice. Occasionally, some ancestors will come out to give lectures, and everyone will gather together to discuss the Tao and listen to the Dharma. Brothers and sisters competed with each other in magic spells, and everyone had a tacit understanding, and they clicked and stopped, but it was of great help to the practice." Xiaodaotong explained.
Fu Donglai heard it in his ears, filled with emotion in his heart.
When they were in Shituoling, even if they were fighting with each other, they would often fight each other without holding back. How could there be such a harmonious atmosphere in Fangcunshan?
Seeing it, Shen Luo also thought it was quite interesting, and secretly said in his heart: "Only such an eclectic sect can teach a disciple with the demeanor of Sun Wukong..."
The few people walked forward all the way, with brisk steps, and when they reached some forks, Shen Luo could still find the right direction by relying on his memory. This made the Taoist boy in charge of leading the way a little surprised, and mistakenly thought that Shen Luo had been to Fangcun Mountain before.
When he asked, Shen Luo just denied it with a smile, without explaining more.
Soon, the three of them trekked all the way to the top of a mountain peak.
The vegetation on the top of the mountain is sparse, and there is a naturally formed open area on which a simple thatched house was built.
There are only three adjacent houses in the thatched cottage. In front of it is a small courtyard surrounded by fences. A wooden gatehouse with a height of one person is built in the middle.
In Shen Luo's memory, he vaguely remembered that he had been here before, but he hadn't seen any thatched cottages at that time, and most of them had been destroyed and no longer existed.
Xiao Daotong led Shen Luo and the two into the small courtyard, and saw a small vegetable garden on the left side of the courtyard, and a pair of stone tables and benches on the right side, which looked very simple and plain, almost the same as a farmer's house in the market.
"The patriarch has an order. Let the benefactor Shen enter the house for a while, and I would like to trouble the benefactor to drink tea here and wait for a while." Xiaodaotong waved his sleeve across the stone table while talking.
With a flash of blue light on the table, a set of exquisite purple pottery teapots landed on the table.
Tea has been added to the teacup, the color is light green and clear, filled with a delicate fragrance, refreshing.
"Thank you very much." Fu Donglai thanked and sat down immediately.
Shen Luo said "Thank you" to Xiao Daotong, and then followed him to the thatched hut in the middle.
Coming closer, Xiao Daotong pushed the dark wooden door, said "please", and then backed away.
Shen Luo hesitated for a moment, but still walked in.
As soon as his feet crossed the threshold, his heart suddenly tightened, and he wanted to quit immediately.
But before he could make a move, the inside of the door, which hadn't noticed anything strange before, suddenly twisted in the void, and a powerful pulling force directly pulled him, staggered, and fell towards the door. .
This twisting force is very powerful, even if Shen Luo is now a monk at the stage of true immortality, he couldn't stop his forward pounce, and he was about to stagger and fall.
He only felt that his eyes were dark at first, and then lit up instantly.
Before Shen Luo could react, his arm was supported by a thin palm.
"Be careful, don't trample on my Violet Begonia." A rather vicissitudes of life sounded at the same time.
"Junior Shen Luo, I have met Patriarch Bodhi." After Shen Luo stood firm, he immediately cupped his fists and saluted.
"There's no need to be too polite..." said with a smile as he pressed down his hands clasped in front of his chest with thin palms.
Shen Luo lowered his hands, then raised his eyes to look at the old man and a flower garden with a radius of tens of feet behind him.
The old man has a clear face, slender eyebrows, two silkworm eyebrows slightly frowned, and three long beards. He is wearing a blue robe with a golden belt around his waist. His two big sleeves are rolled up to his elbows. It's a bit like a fairy coming out of the dust, and a bit like a human fireworks.
The only thing that doesn't exist is that many monks pretend to be unfathomable.
"It's weird, why is the causal line on your body so chaotic?" The old man held two hands covered with dirt, frowned and looked at Shen Luo, with a puzzled expression on his face, like asking, or talking to himself road.
Shen Luo looked at him like this, as if he had seen all the secrets at a glance, and he couldn't help but feel a little panic in his heart.
"Don't be nervous. When I first saw you, I felt that there was some strange fate, but I couldn't see it clearly for a while, so I invited you here to have a good fortune." Seeing this, Patriarch Bodhi smiled. Said.
"It turns out that the boy in the city below the mountain was indeed arranged by the ancestor." Shen Luo said knowing it clearly.
"What kind of arrangement is it? It was transformed by a strand of the old man's soul. I didn't expect that you would rely entirely on that sketch and come to my Fangcun Mountain to find it." Patriarch Bodhi laughed.
After finishing speaking, he led Shen Luo to walk along the field ridge beside the flower garden to a bamboo hut outside the field.
Shen Luo looked over along the way, and saw that there were countless strange flowers and plants all around, and all of them had visions. Among them, a clump of scarlet flowers was still burning with flames, but there was no trace of ashes.
Next to it is a cold grass covered with ice crystals. The two are close at hand, but they can not affect each other, which is also a great mystery.
However, what surprised Shen Luo the most was that among these flowers and plants that were not ordinary things at first glance, there were actually a few common peonies, roses and other flower seedlings mixed in, each of which was blooming even though it did not have the spirit of the fairy spirit. of prosperity.
It seems that for Patriarch Bodhi, no matter whether he is a fairy or an ordinary person, he should rejoice with his heart.
The two came to Zhuliao, sat opposite each other at a bamboo table, and also set a pot of tea.
"Seeing that your pure yang energy is strong, and Chi You's demonic energy is equally arrogant, and the balance is maintained well. There must be some secret method?" Patriarch Bodhi asked Shen Luo, looking at him.
Shen Luo just nodded, but did not explain carefully.
"No matter what method is used, it does not seem to be a long-term solution. The method of Xuanyang joint refining should not be abused, otherwise it will only cause irreversible disasters." Patriarch Bodhi reminded.
Shen Luo was shocked when he heard the words.
My Xuanyang transforming magic secret technique is impossible to see through without using it, and every time I use it, there is also a big price, that is, it will damage the yang and transform yin, causing the devil energy to further infect, until the devil energy is completely destroyed. If he dominates, his body will be completely demonized.
According to Shen Luo's own guess, by that time, he himself will become Chi You's demon soul clone.
And this process, as Bodhi Patriarch said, is irreversible.
Chapter 1326 Millennium Prophecy
"To be honest with seniors, this junior's Xuanyang secret technique is actually the result of the battle between the "Huang Ting Jing" exercises of the noble clan and Chi You's demon energy in this junior's body, neutralizing the yin and yang." After hesitating for a moment, he still opened his mouth and said.
"That's no wonder. It is said that the power of pure yang and Chiyou's demonic energy are incompatible. It turns out that it is because of the mixing of yin and yang that there is such a strange and delicate balance." Patriarch Bodhi suddenly said.
Shen Luo listened quietly without saying anything.
"Old man, I can see that you have a close relationship with Fangcunshan. Could it be that you are a reincarnated disciple of some disciple? Otherwise, why are you able to practice the "Huang Ting Jing" inherited from my sect?" Patriarch Bodhi asked again.
Shen Luo heard the words, showing hesitation, not knowing how to answer.
"Could it be that unruly hozen? Even if others dare to teach you the "Huang Ting Jing" exercises, they will definitely not teach you the general outline. Apart from him, I really can't think of anyone who has such courage?" Zu analyzed it by himself.
Shen Luo frowned gradually, hesitated for a long time, and asked, "Senior, do you believe that the evil is gone?"
Patriarch Bodhi was taken aback when he heard the words, then shook his head with a smile, and said: "As long as there are people, immortals, and demons in the world, the evils will never subside."
After hearing this, Shen Luo was a little surprised.
"Why, do you believe it?" Patriarch Bodhi laughed.
Shen Luo shook his head.
"In fact, it's not just you and I who don't believe it. There are many people who don't believe in this matter. Many of them advocate that the entire demon clan should be exterminated to eliminate the evil trouble." Patriarch Bodhi laughed.
"Old Ancestor, forgive me for speaking bluntly, the Three Realms seem to be peaceful on the surface, but in fact there are undercurrents surging inside, and it is not peaceful. There are all the rhetoric that the evil has been calmed. People suffer, immortals suffer..." Shen Luo said.
"Your statement is new..." Patriarch Bodhi laughed.
"Now it is only said that the evil is over, the alliance relationship between the human race and the immortal race has cracked, and there are more open and secret struggles, not to mention that if the demon race is completely gone, what will happen to the human race and the immortal race in the future?" Shen Luo said.
"In your opinion, what do you think should be the solution?" Patriarch Bodhi asked.
"The younger generation is only a mere cultivator at the early stage of true immortality. How dare you talk about solving it? Even if you have the cultivation base of Tianzun, the younger generation will not be able to influence the future of the Three Realms." Shen Luo laughed at himself, recalling the scene of the battle with Chi You in the dream, and couldn't help sighing.
"Then what do you think, if all races of the Three Realms live together, no longer distinguishing by race, but using common beliefs as the cornerstone, and common emotions as the bond, then there will be demons among humans, immortals among humans, and demons among immortals." , what kind of situation will it be?" Patriarch Bodhi looked at Shen Luo and said slowly.
"Senior said, it means that the world is in harmony, the sameness tends to be harmonious, and the meaning of harmony is different. If it can be done, it may really solve the tribulations of the Three Realms. I want to think that the seniors are not sticking to one pattern, teaching all beings in the Three Realms without distinction. Is this the same goal?" Shen Luo said after hearing the words, after pondering for a moment.
But after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's really too difficult to do this..."
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and the nine-story high platform starts from the pile of soil. At that time, the Jade Emperor cultivated immortality and went through [-] kalpas. It's not impossible for everyone to go there." Patriarch Bodhi couldn't help sighing.
"What the ancestor said is true. The power of one person will eventually be exhausted, but the power of tens of thousands of people is infinite. The younger generation admires it. But... the three worlds may not have such a long time." Shen Luo sighed.
Patriarch Bodhi's eyes flickered slightly, and he heard the meaning behind his words, and the teacup brought to his mouth stopped.
"What do you mean by that?" He couldn't help asking.
After hesitating for a while, Shen Luo said, "Senior, what this junior said next may sound a bit bizarre, and you may even think it's nonsense, but I still hope you can listen patiently."
"Oh? Come and listen to me." Patriarch Bodhi frowned slightly and said with a smile.
"Senior, the matter starts with the junior getting a strange jade pillow..." Shen Luo slowly opened his mouth, and began to narrate how he had dreamed for thousands of years and witnessed the world after the catastrophe.
When Patriarch Bodhi first heard it, there was still a smile on his face, but after halfway through the words, his expression became extremely dignified.
However, the ancestor never interrupted Shen Luo, allowing him to recount all his past experiences.
"Thousands of years later, our Fangcun Mountain has been destroyed? And you learned the Huangting Sutra from the ruins?" In the end, Patriarch Bodhi couldn't help but asked.
"That's right. I dreamed of entering Changshou Village at that time. When I entered Fangcun Mountain through hardships and dangers, the sect had been dilapidated for many years. Presumably it was destroyed in the early stages of Chi You's recovery." Shen Luo said.
Patriarch Bodhi was silent for a long time when he heard the words.
"Can I have a look at the broken jade pillow?" Patriarch Bodhi asked.
"There is nothing you can do." Shen Luo heard the words, flipping his palms, and took out the broken jade pillow.
Patriarch Bodhi took it from his hand, rubbing the lines on the pale topaz pillow lightly with his fingers, feeling the unique warm breath on the jade pillow, his eyes were slightly closed, but the eyeballs rolled quickly under the eyelids, as if he had also been caught in a fierce battle. Normal in nightmare.
After a long time, his eyes opened suddenly, with a look of shock on his face.
"Where did you get this thing?" Patriarch Bodhi leaned forward and asked Shen Luo.
"Senior, what's wrong?" Shen Luo was taken aback by his actions, and asked hastily.
"This thing has a mysterious aura, and the old man can't figure out where it came from. I only know that it is a thing of ancient good fortune that pulls thousands of causes and effects. Benefactor Shen has this thing in his body, and under its influence, he can't damage it." Yin and Yang survived safely, which amazes the old man." Patriarch Bodhi also realized that he had lost his composure, so he sat down slowly and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"To be honest, this item was accidentally obtained by the younger generation from a mountain wall in the back mountain of Chunqiu Temple, and then it was unintentionally brought into dreams by this fairy pillow. After every adventure, returning to reality will have a great life We are always in danger of running out of life energy." Shen Luo smiled wryly.
"So that's the case, that's right." Patriarch Bodhi nodded with a look of understanding that should be so.
"Senior, after returning from the last dream, this junior has discovered that the current world has undergone earth-shaking changes. The world seems to have fallen into a false peace, but the real evil has not been eliminated, but has become more secretive and dangerous. Come on, this junior has encountered many incidents secretly planned by the demons along the way, but it's a pity that they acted in secret, and this junior can't get definite evidence." Shen Luo sighed.
Chapter 1327 The Entrustment of Sending Letters
"As I said before, there are actually many people who don't believe that the evil is over. It's just that all the races in the three realms have their own concerns, and it's a bit difficult to imagine that they can unite as before, let alone fight against the evil." Bodhi said. The ancestor said slowly.
"Compared with uniting all the clans to fight against the demons, this junior actually cares more about the result of the battle in Chang'an in the dream. This junior and all of you worked hard to re-seal Chi You, but I don't know why it will affect the changes in the world thousands of years ago." Shen Luo frowned. Said.
"It is not difficult for changes in the past to affect the future, but it is unreasonable for changes in the future to affect the past. I am afraid that after your death in the dream, something else happened." Patriarch Bodhi said.
"This junior also thinks so, and this time I came to Fangcun Mountain, and this is exactly what I did." Shen Luo stood up and said.
"Do you want me to help repair this jade pillow and send you back to the dreamland in the future? I'm afraid I will disappoint you. This old man is not good at this. I haven't even seen the heel of this jade pillow, let alone helping you. It has been repaired." Patriarch Bodhi shook his head and said with a wry smile.
"Senior misunderstood, this junior has already obtained the repairing method from Tianji City, and now only lacks some treasures to help repair the jade pillow." Shen Luo said hastily.
"You mean, I have what you need in this square inch of the mountain?" Patriarch Bodhi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.
"That's right, this junior came here just to borrow the 'Mountains and Rivers Sheji Map' from the senior. After the restoration is completed, the treasure will be returned." Shen Luo clasped his fists and saluted, and said respectfully.
Hearing this, Patriarch Bodhi's expression obviously changed, and he fell silent for a moment.
His eyes fell on Shen Luo, and he looked up and down.
Shen Luo immediately had a feeling of being seen through again, and shrank subconsciously.
"It's not that this old man doesn't want to believe you. It's because this thing has a lot to do with it. I can't give it to you. Otherwise, it's very likely that it will harm you and bring you death." Patriarch Bodhi pondered, Said slowly.
"Could it be that the suspicious-looking monks gathered at the foot of the mountain came for this thing?" Shen Luo immediately thought of a certain possibility.
"It seems that you have discovered them too?" Patriarch Bodhi's eyes lit up and he said with a smile.
"So, Fangcun Mountain was closed because of this?" Shen Luo asked.
"Probably. This matter is more complicated, and it cannot be explained clearly in a few words." Patriarch Bodhi waved his hand and said.
"Senior, is there anything this junior can do to help?" Shen Luo couldn't help asking Fang Cunshan because of his special feelings.
"Do you know who is targeting Fangcun Mountain this time?" Patriarch Bodhi hesitated and asked.
