Chapter 979

At this time, Xuanzang had just walked out of Luoyang.

He gritted his lips and begged a caravan from Luoyang to Shanzhou to take him on a ride. After that, he lay down on a mule cart covered with silk and thatched, and looked up at the sky with some hollow eyes.

Autumn is high and crisp, Luoyang is so blue!

Xuanzang sighed silently in his heart.

Twenty miles out of Luoyang, the road was not so smooth. The mule cart gradually began to be bumpy. The whole cart creaked as it rolled over the stones and uneven road, as if it was about to fall apart at any time.

Xuanzang still looked at the sky a little bit absentmindedly.

The merchants and guards of the caravan cast strange glances at him from time to time, wondering what these half monks were thinking.

The sun was so warm that people didn't want to open their eyes. The roadside is gradually deserted, the grass and trees are yellow, the bark is falling off, and the sun has become a little hot for some reason.

Xuanzang licked his chapped lips, but did not move.

He remembered that before he left, he told the master who raised him about the meeting with Anyang that night and the experience he had seen in the fishing village that day. He was deeply enlightened and suddenly understood, but he was refuted by the master!

Those masters taught him the Dharma and Buddhist principles that Anyang had justified and overturned since he was a child. He thought that the master would suddenly realize the fallacy in it like him, and then regarded Anyang as a master, but as a result, he began to doubt himself.

Did you do something wrong?

Did you make a mistake in conveying it yourself?

Otherwise, why is it that the truths that Anyang said are close to the truth can easily persuade a person, but can't persuade the wise and true master in his heart?

Anyang said that all things in the world have the law of all things, and the Buddhadharma can help people to be clear, but it cannot replace all laws, but the master said that as long as one cultivates the Mahayana of the Buddhadharma, all truths can be obtained; In the beginning, there is neither good nor evil, and the acquired environment creates life, but the master said that the new born in the world is holy in heart, but it is gradually polluted by the secular world...

He was lost for a while, not knowing who was right and who was wrong.

On the one hand, there is the master who taught him since childhood, on the other hand, he is the "skilled man" who wakes him up day and night.

He struggled, had a headache, and felt powerless!

Suddenly, there seems to be a shackle that imprisoned him and the world. This shackle is firm and invisible, and he has never discovered its existence in his life! Until that day, after seeing the fishing village and talking with Anyang in the middle of the night, did I realize that there are so many things and wonderful cultures in the world that I have never seen before, and my previous knowledge seems to be not my own. of!

But... the master instilled in himself.

Xuanzang was a silent person since he was a child. He liked to think, but he never seemed to dare to think about it.

But why not? He couldn't speak again.

It's like he is clearly a disciple of Mahayana Buddhism, but Anyang seems to know more about Mahayana Buddhism than himself. However, Anyang did not respect this. He both admired and refuted Mahayana Buddhism and Theravada Buddhism.

After that, the master said to let himself get rid of the pig demon. He still knew that he could not defeat the pig demon, but he went anyway.

As expected, he almost died at the hands of the pig demon.

Fortunately, Miss Duan appeared in time to hold back the pig demon, otherwise she would have become a roasted corpse in the stove!

At that time, he thought that Anyang's words were true, and that he really "had someone to help him", but at the same time, this chilling expectation also made him start to think deeply about Anyang's sentence "This is something that some people have worked hard to arrange. What's the meaning of "!

Could it really be destined in the dark?

Or is there any other possibility...

After returning to the town, he found that he still underestimated Anyang. It turned out that it was not only Miss Duan who helped him subdue the pig demon, but also the demon king Sun Wukong five hundred years ago, and the demon king Sun Wukong was suppressed at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain at this time!

Anyang was waiting for himself at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain... He never mentioned this to his master.

Master asked himself to go to the Five Elements Mountain, so he went.

This time is on the way to the Five Elements Mountain.

He suddenly found that the speed of the convoy slowed down, the expressions of the merchants became more and more solemn, and the caravan guards dismounted and walked with the caravan one after another, as if they had entered the bandit-run area.

But here is only a few dozen miles from Luoyang. Luoyang is a big city. How could there be bandits who dare to commit crimes here?

Xuanzang raised his head and asked a guard beside him: "This gentleman, dare to ask what happened, why is everyone so panic?"

"It's not panic." The guard said, turning to look at the forest on the right, "It's just that there has been a natural disaster recently, and the ground is full of famine. We have been easily robbed by hungry people who are starving, and there have been looting by hungry people last time. Everyone wants to be careful about the food and property of the caravan."

Xuanzang frowned and said naively: "With such a large caravan, the hungry people dare not come here..."

"Oh! It's not the big caravan, they're not willing to grab it!" The guard said a little exaggeratedly, and then said, "It's the big caravan that has enough money and enough food for them to eat! All are hungry and red. How can you care how many people we have! Anyway, if they can't get food, they will die, and it's happier to be slaughtered by our brothers than to starve to death!"

"So that's what it is." Xuanzang said in a low voice, then withdrew his gaze and said no more.

He suddenly remembered what Anyang said—

It's the world that's wrong.

The caravan continued to move, and as he left Luoyang farther and farther, he would see all the things he saw along the way, and because he walked slower, his experience was much deeper than that of Anyang.

At the end of the plot, Xuanzang was able to "complete enlightenment" and went to Tianzhu to seek the salvation of the world, not only because of Miss Duan's death, but also because of this path.

The mule cart was still swaying and creaking, but Xuanzang didn't dare to lie on the thatch any longer.

The sky above the head is still high and the clouds are clear, bright and moving, but it is a bit more dry, as if there is wind and sand blowing on the face, like a knife that is too thin to see.

************************

Anyang traveled another hundred miles to the border of Shaanxi and Qin, and stopped to rest in a monastery.

This is a standard Taoist monastery, and unlike later generations, there is no distinction between Buddhism and Taoism. In this era, the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism are clearly separated. The life of Taoism is much better than that of Buddhism, at least with the support of the king's law. In addition to the Taoist Sanqing, the monastery worships mainly the gods of the Arctic system, which can be regarded as the trend of this era. The Great Emperor Ziwei of the Arctic and the Four Arctic Sages under his seat are generally respected.

Anyang first greeted the Taoist priests in the courtyard, and found that there were actually two practitioners who had entered the door, but he did not care too much and began to pay tribute to the gods enshrined in the hall.

Taoism is not very strict on etiquette, Anyang just bowed his hands and began to look at the statue.

There are gods in this world, so there are real fluctuations of divine power on the statues. Anyang, who cultivates ancient nerves, is particularly sensitive to this, so he does not dare to make mistakes. But it is obvious that the gods of the arctic system are declining, at least the divine power on the statues is too dim to be worthy of their status in the mortal world, and it is not even comparable to the statues in other temples that Anyang has seen along the way.

Moreover, the statue of the Tianpeng Grand Marshal Zhenjun, which is located in the center and in the front, has been completely dimmed. Anyang does not know what happened to him, but Zhenwu Zhenjun, who is at the bottom of the Four North Pole Sages, has the brightest divine power, chasing after Emperor Ziwei.

Anyang pursed his lips and said nothing.

After a night of rest in the monastery, he bid farewell to the monastery the next morning and continued on the road to the Five Elements Mountains. He walked very slowly all the way, while studying and practicing, while experiencing this era, while thinking about the background of this world.

As soon as he left Henan County and entered Shaanxi and Qin, he heard news that there was a strange incident in Nanzheng, Shaanxi, the cause of which was a large lake in Nanzheng. I don’t know how many years I have been drinking water, but I don’t know why the lake water has gone wrong recently. Once people drink it, they will forget all their information. Whether it’s seeing a doctor or taking medicine, or asking an exorcist or practitioner, it doesn’t work.

There are many exorcists who have heard the news and rushed to Nanzheng to find out. The popularity even surpassed the rumors of "the first exorcist in the middle of China" the day before yesterday.

Anyang calculated the time, it was still early, he ordered the puppet to turn to Nanzheng, and wanted to find out.

In his memory, he always remembered the way of righteousness that the extraordinary people in Chinese mythology took, and regarded his own cultivation system as the orthodox. Some strange methods such as Miaojiang and overseas were denounced as crooked ways, and even the use of poison was caused by plague. The probability of such poisons that erase human memory is very low. And polluting such a large lake is not an easy task in itself.

This thing is weird.

A few days later, he arrived in Nanzheng.

There are indeed many practitioners gathered here, some are exorcists, some are not, An Yangyang met several waves on the road, and there are people from various factions.

They are all under the banner of finding out and clearing the troubles for the people of Nanzheng, but I am afraid that most of them are here for this lake!

A kind of water that is exactly the same as ordinary water, indistinguishable, but you will forget everything when you drink it. It is simply a good choice for home travel and killing people! Not to mention the research value contained in it, maybe there are treasures born and so on.

Following the exorcism of the two lovers, Anyang successfully came to the lake called Nanhu.

This lake is very beautiful. The lake is as green as jade on the earth. It is surrounded by mountains. The ancient city of Nanzheng is built around the lake. From the perspective of the city, most of the people in this city really depend on this lake for water supply.

At this time, many practitioners have gathered here, and even walking on the street, practitioners will pass by Anyang. In just one day, they have opened a lot of eyes to Anyang, and they have a deeper understanding of the world's practice system. At the same time, he became more and more curious about this lake, because he felt that there was something else that was attracting these practitioners.

At this time, there were new rumors about Nanhu Water in Nanzheng City.
