Chapter 1782 Shuiyue
"Ohh Ohh ohh……"
This is a drab, empty little room.
It was square and empty, with no doors or windows. It closes everything and isolates everything.
It's oppressive.
Or, it's safe.
There was nothing in the room.
There was only a fragile little girl in a white dress, huddled in the shadow of the corner. She held her knees with her slender hands, burying her face and crying.
Like a small white flower that will be destroyed in the wind at any time.
Her cries were also so weak that she didn't dare to let others hear her. They were intermittent and faint.
"Stand up! Stand up!"
Suddenly a sharp and vicious voice sounded outside the room. The voice quickly came from far to near, as if it was going to smash the room into pieces: "Zhu Biqiong, how could you do this to a stinky man!"
The little girl in a white dress trembled all over and raised her head——
At this moment, her quiet eyes were looking at herself in the mirror.
The Zhu Biqiong in the mirror is wearing Diaohailou's true evangelist uniform, sitting quietly on a bamboo stool, like a picture of a lady fixed in the mirror. The black hair hangs down from the shoulders, the expression is cold and silent, the eyebrows are smooth, and the eyes are waveless. How can there be half of the youthful timidity of the past?
The offshore islands are in perfect spring, and here on Wai Island, white-browed azaleas are blooming everywhere.
This azalea, unique to Waishima, is named after its petals with two white horizontal stripes. Therefore, it is said that "the beloved man has not returned, and the cuckoo has white eyebrows."
Grandma Bizhu loved this flower when she was still alive. Often sit alone and admire.
At that time, Zhu Biqiong didn't quite understand that kind of mood.
At this time, she was sitting in her private courtyard on Huai Island, holding a wooden comb with her green-white jade fingers, combing her long hair carefully.
You can still hear the leisurely crashing sound of the waves, and there are still blue-billed gulls flying freely outside the window.
As the true successor of Elder Jinghai of Diaohailou, Zhu Biqiong's life in the offshore islands should be worry-free.
She herself has considerable strength among the younger generation, and Gu Huaixin is such a real person in the world who protects her shortcomings.
But she combed her hair slowly, as if she had forgotten how to comb her hair. In his calm eyes, there seemed to be thoughts hidden under the water.
In this spring full of vitality, there is a morning full of infinite hope.
The bronze mirror in front of her suddenly became rippled like water.
The face reflected in the mirror transformed into the face of another woman amid the distorted ripples. The eyebrows and eyes are vaguely similar to Zhu Biqiong's, but the facial features that should have been gentler and more generous are instead fiercely pressed together, showing a very spiteful expression.
"Zhu Biqiong! How long are you going to hide from me?!"
She yelled this sentence sinisterly, her voice was sharp and gentle, and her face spread out like a pancake: "Have you forgotten how my sister took care of you and how good she was to you?"
Zhu Biqiong's hand combing her hair paused: "No, I didn't hide from you."
"Then what are you thinking about?" The woman in the mirror asked with concern: "You haven't practiced well these days..."
Zhu Biqiong's eyelids drooped slightly, hiding many emotions in the deep sea.
What are you thinking about?
I remember the timid little girl I once was.
I remember that before Jiang Wang went to the demon world, he came to the offshore islands to find her and wanted to thank her in person.
But she didn't see it.
She just didn't want the thanks from friends.
But I didn't expect that that hesitation would be the farewell forever.
"Why don't you speak?" The woman in the mirror suddenly moved closer to the face, and began to lose her temper again. The malice in her eyes almost burst out of the bronze mirror: "Are you thinking about that Jiang Wang again? He's already dead. What do you think! He is just a hypocrite who uses you as a pawn. He originally saved you because of Qi Guo's plan and wanted to shake Diao Hailou's authority. Why can't you see clearly that only your sister is sincere? Hello, Zhu Biqiong! Why don’t you understand?”
"Zhu Biqiong, speak! Zhu Biqiong!"
The woman in the mirror kept chattering: "Zhu Biqiong! You——"
"Stop shouting!" Zhu Biqiong stood up suddenly and shouted back!
But the emotions that broke out in a moment were forcibly suppressed by her. She looked at Zhu Suyao's shocked and injured expression in the mirror, turned away and said in a low voice: "I'm very tired, sister."
"Hahahaha..." The woman in the mirror was shocked at first, then in pain, and then laughed sharply: "You are actually mean to me, you are mean to your own sister for a stinky man, for an outsider?! "
"Are you still a human being? Do you have a conscience?" She bared her teeth and claws, furious: "Who raised you? Who protected you? Who fed you and clothed you? You are simply a beast!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" You are a little girl, and I also want to be taken care of...I will stick to you for everything good. I finally got into the Immortal Sect, and I want to take you with me. My mother-in-law said that your qualifications are not good, so I knelt down outside her door. Just three days...Biqiong, sister, didn't I treat you well? What did I do wrong? I live hard and treat others sincerely. I have never meant to harm others, but why are those people doing such things? You're just using me, but you're hurting me? Why do you all think it's me who's hurt, even though I'm the one you love the most? Why, oh oh oh... …”
Her cry was like a crow, high-pitched and hoarse, scratching her eardrums.
Zhu Biqiong walked to the washbasin by the window, looked at the blue waves not far away, lowered her head and buried her face in the water.
The world is purified.
Close your eyes and the world is not completely dark.
In the boundless dark world, there is always the outline of a human figure. Just like that long sleep, when the consciousness becomes more and more drowsy, I always remember that face in my mind——
That face that was really sad for her, really sad for her.
She still remembered the angle.
The angle of inclination.
She was held in his arms for the first time, as a dying friend.
She was still very weak at that time and couldn't quite open her eyes, but she opened them with great force and greedily looked at his jawline, his side face, and his eyes looking straight ahead.
The pain didn't seem that painful at that time.
He is getting closer, getting closer...
Zhu Biqiong suddenly opened her eyes.
But under the water of the washbasin, I saw a face with a familiar but blurred outline.
Wow!
She suddenly raised her head and escaped from the washbasin.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!
The water drops on his face fell on the water in clusters, creating tiny ripples in circles.
Zhu Biqiong gasped for air, but suddenly her breath stopped.
In the gilt washbasin, under the ripples, the face she saw in her dream, in the water, and in her memory unexpectedly reappeared.
Escape from imagination and break into reality. Memories are carved and expectations are painted.
In the swaying water, the blurry face gradually became clear——
Delicate eyebrows, calm eyes, upright nose, stubborn slightly pursed lips,
It is the moon in the water that cannot be grasped.
Qingyang was a teenager in a trance!
…
…
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
Chai Asi looked at himself in the mirror, wearing a neat black military uniform he bought at a high price and a stylish red cloak given by Yuan Xiaoqing.
It is said that Buddha relies on gold and demons rely on clothes.
This outfit, coupled with the body that is already quite strong after practicing the magic skills.
How elegant and majestic!
These eyebrows, these eyes, this temperament.
I really didn't know how to dress up before, but my face was completely blind.
The most handsome man in the Flower and Fruit Society, who else could he be compared to me?
After Gu Fang admired herself for a while, she moved her hair slightly so that her bangs were parted at the right angle.
Chai Asi completed all the preparations, bowed deeply to the ancient mirror, and said, "Sir, I want to pretend to be you!"
The ancient god who should have been in the mirror:...
The new Xiang Master of the Flower and Fruit Club stood up after the ceremony, took out a beautiful cloth bag with the word "Chai" embroidered with gold thread, and put the mirror in with a smile on his face.
Of course, it was nominally out of respect for the ancient god that she could not leave the ancient god mirror naked in her hands, so she had to put it in a precious bag and let Yuan Xiaoqing carry it.
The final selection of the Golden Balcony Fighting Club in Moyun City has already gone on for several rounds.
He was beyond the expectations of the demon and made great progress all the way.
Even the president of the Flower and Fruit Society was alarmed and encouraged him more.
The average little demon's sword skills are not as ferocious as his, and those whose sword skills are stronger than his cannot cut down his invincible golden body. In addition, after every battle, Master Gushen would take him to review the battle completely. Tell him how many chances he missed in battle, what choices he made wrong, and how many ways he could win.
This made his strength improve by leaps and bounds.
The heavy blows he received on the martial arts stage also made his invincible golden body improve rapidly - I don't know if it is an illusion, but the effect of the medicinal bath seems to be getting better and better recently.
He replaced all the extra rewards that Huaguo would give him with various precious medicinal materials. In short, he practiced to the point of death and drowned himself in the bath...
Our Gale Killing Sword doesn't know that he has really taken a dip in the medicine during this period.
After all, he is competing at the moment, and every time he advances one place in the martial arts competition, he can climb a little higher. In addition, the effect of those medicinal materials on the great ancient god was getting weaker and weaker, so I simply divided half of them generously to feed him.
The main focus of Hayate Killing Sword Chai Asi is martial arts and training, supplemented by the promotion of feelings with Yuan Xiaoqing, and by the way, he takes care of his subordinates to manage the power on the road.
The great ancient god Jiang Wang pays equal attention to multiple paths.
Not only must we follow Chai Asi’s martial arts club journey and accompany him to review every battle he has on the martial arts stage; we must also provide Zhu Dali with the support of the God of Slaughter, explain to him the philosophy of Taiping Dao, and draw a picture. Huge cake; moreover, it must cooperate with Yuan Laoxi's expansion plan of the Faceless Cult, occasionally perform miracles, and recruit believers...
In addition to these, they also need to learn modern dog writing and translate dog writing from modern times.
In addition, the great ancient god must also give guidance on the cultivation of these three guys, Chai Asi, Yuan Laoxi, and Zhu Dali.
There is also the treatment of one's own injuries, and one cannot relax in one's own practice...
One breath of time should be divided into ten breaths for use.
Rao Shijiang was known for his diligence, but he said it was too much.
But fortunately there is progress.
After studying day and night these days, I finally have a certain degree of mastery of the Dog Clan writing... It can even be said without humility that I am already proficient.
It can be regarded as an in-depth study of the Dog Clan writing in recent times, and the meaning of the words was studied word by word. If it weren't for the powerful spiritual consciousness and divine understanding, it would be impossible to complete such a huge workload in a short period of time.
At this stage, I have a preliminary understanding of the ancient book in my hand.
Earlier, he was wondering why there were so many fancy words on the book cover, but the title of this book only had three words, which was called "Wisdom Fruit".
Sounds like a children's book.
Now I find that it was all nonsense. Those monsters were ignorant and had no skills. They vaguely guessed a few words and gave them random names.
The original name of this book is "The Collection of Roots and Fruits of Supreme Wisdom, Divine Wisdom, and Wisdom".
It is indeed a collection of Zen Master Xiong, a powerful Buddhist sect of the demon tribe, who once lectured on the Ancient Nan Mountain. It was recorded and compiled by his disciple and the tenth Dharma King.
The main topic is "wisdom", "spiritual wisdom", "roots" and "cause and effect", and discusses the relationship between these four and Buddha. There are also some histories and comments mixed in, mainly to provide evidence for the methods described, and are naturally not objective.
But for Jiang Wang, these are the most important things.
For example, this paragraph——
Disciple Xiangmi asked: Zen Master! Where is the true Buddha, and how can we believe in him? The distinction between suffering, bewildering demons, and beings is difficult to distinguish between the two realms. Is it Foye?
Zen Master Xiong said: The Buddha has no fixed fruit, the Buddha has no fixed appearance, and the Buddha has no fixed body. It is my Buddha.
Xiang Mi is a disciple of Zen Master Xiong and ranks fifth among the ten Dharma Kings. There is a very high evaluation in the history of the Yao clan. They say that he is as wise as a fool, down-to-earth and self-suffering. He was very loved by the believers of Ancient Nanshan at that time. It can even be said that he is the most trustworthy among the ancient Nanshan Dharma Kings.
During this conversation, Xiang Mi asked Zen Master Xiong because of the confusion and pain in his heart - where is the real Buddha? Can I believe in Him? Now I am confused by the differences between demons and humans. It is difficult to feel the difference between the demon world and the human world. I am in great pain because of this. Do I learn from Buddhism?
Shomi's confusion does not seem complicated, but it reflects the conflict between the Buddha of the demon race and the Buddha of the human race. As the ancient Nanshan Dharma King, he has profound cultivation and high strength, but he is also painfully entangled in the process of searching for the origin of Buddha. After all, it is a method passed down from person to person, and it is difficult to completely transcend race.
Zen Master Xiong replied that Buddha has no fixed results, Buddha has no fixed appearance, and Buddha has no fixed performance. I am the Buddha, there is no need to be confused.
His answer is also very understandable. But the key behind it is the attitude of the strong men of the Demon Clan’s Buddhist Sect towards the Buddha.
The demon clan also practices Buddhism, but they only cultivate their own Buddha.
The "Buddha" here has the same nature as "Tao". It is a broad "Tao" and a specific "Dharma". But it is completely independent from Buddhism in this world and has nothing to do with the monks of the human race.
The book has its own golden house, and the book also has its own history and answers.
The gradual determination of the contents of this "Collection of the Roots and Fruits of Supreme Wisdom, Divine Wisdom," shows that the time when the World Honored One came to the demon world must have been before modern times.
Secondly, after Jiang Wang translated this passage, he speculated that——
The Buddha passed down in the demon world may be the inheritance left by the World Honored One on his own initiative, rather than being imitated and absorbed by the demon clan later on. Because Zen Master Xiong has obviously obtained the true meaning of Buddha and grasped the word "Buddha". Although he cultivates his own demon-like Buddha, he has not deviated from the core of Buddha.
The human race and demon race have a lot of learning and penetration from each other.
For example, the Yao Clan also has military strategists, Legalists, and Confucianists.
However, according to Jiang Wang's observations in the demon city during this period, these theories have been more or less deviated on the demon side. They basically originated from the word "demon". After that, they were absorbed. Confucianism in the art of war.
But only the Buddha in the demon world originated from the word "Buddha", and then moved closer to the word "demon".
Jiang Wang's second guess is——
The Buddha taught by the World Honored One in the demon world may be a Buddha who completely abandoned the word "human". In other words, what the World Honored One preached in the demon world was only the pure Tao, which was completely transcendent of race and beyond the identity of human race or demon race.
Perhaps this is the fundamental reason why "Buddha" has developed rapidly in the demon world, far better than other theories transmitted from the human race.
Maybe... this is also a way to fight against the demon clan's will?
Preaching in this world is a great meritorious service.
Eliminate hostility and there will be no need for confrontation.
