Chapter 346: Just seek a small joy in this life
This is destined to be a difficult road.
After leaving the protection range of An Ningshen, "Zuo Chen" came to a huge wilderness.
The scenery here is not as elegant as before, and it is not safe.
There are so many evil cultivators and so many bandits. If an ordinary person comes here, he will be eaten up and wiped clean within three days, leaving only bones and dregs on the ground.
"Zuo Chen" was pretty lucky. When he first entered the border, he didn't encounter evil cultivators who could kill him, but he did encounter a lot of black shop bandits.
He entered a roadside shop and as soon as he asked for a bowl of tea, someone tried to give him sweat medicine. Fortunately, "Zuo Chen" had some cultivation skills, and ordinary medicines had no effect on him. The owner and the cook of the black shop came up with kitchen knives and wanted to chop him. "Zuo Chen" was forced to have no choice but to take their lives.
He walked through the woods on the side of the road and met a few bandits who were a bit wise running out. He didn't respond to Shanwaishan's slander, so the bandits planned to take his life and snatched the coffin, "Zuo Chen "Getting offended, he jumped through the forest, relied on the terrain to fight ambush, and used his wonderful methods to remove the heads of these bandits.
He came to a small town and planned to rest here after finding no danger. Unexpectedly, people in the small town thought that his big coffin contained a high-quality treasure and wanted to keep him there. In the end, "Zuo Chen" was forced to fight, was seriously injured, and survived. In the end, he stood up again, integrated all the skills, slaughtered the entire town, and left with blood all over his body.
This huge wilderness left a heavy mark on Zuo Chen's life experience, and also improved his moral conduct and fighting skills by more than one and a half stars.
After seeing this experience, the master thought for a moment, and his expression suddenly became strange:
"If I remember correctly, a long time ago, monster disasters occurred frequently in the mountainous areas outside the mountains, and evil cultivators occupied the top of the mountains. , swaggering into the mortal realm, claiming kingship, causing the surrounding yellow sand to be filled with bones.
"In this case, there was a knight carrying a coffin crossing the wilderness. , killed many thieves and the great demon, known as Gu Yanzhi, went straight into the Great West and disappeared since then. Many people thought he had become a Buddha...
"Taoist Master, this man is not Could it be you? "
"Me? At this time, I'm so good at this. It must be someone else." Zuo Chen waved his hands, not believing that this was his past self. thing.
But the master still looked at "Zuo Chen" who was passing by.
Since entering the wilderness, "Zuo Chen's" Taoism has been improving at an incredible speed.
This kind of cultivation speed, if An Ning knew about it, would definitely attract the attention of many old guys.
According to the understanding of the old guys in Tuas, they will definitely fight and try every means to get "Zuo Chen" under their door.
A few people continued to travel with "Zuo Chen" in the past, observing where he would go.
Outside the mountains, in addition to the ubiquitous evil thieves, there are also some wonderful countries. These countries are not large in size. Sometimes there are less than a hundred people in a city-state, and they are not even as good as the village over An Ningshen.
And the situation in these countries is not very good. Many powerful monsters regard these countries as their own back gardens, coming and going as they please, causing harm and harm.
Greedy monsters will come here to select the tenderest sheep for tooth-making sacrifices; treasure-hungry monsters will threaten the emperor to violently collect wealth, and conquest from all directions to fill their treasure trove; there are also some monsters who like beauty to choose The concubine took concubines and killed all the males, leaving only the females for her to choose from in the city.
These kingdoms kept each other in check, creating an orderly chaos.
As a wandering wanderer, "Zuo Chen" rarely enters the city in order to avoid being involved in fights in the city. He often only rests in the suburbs near the city-state. The people who live here are often not included in the kingdom. The poor people recognized are either beggars, disabled, or simply people who are disliked by the local royal family.
The poor people hugging each other for warmth touched "Zuo Chen"'s heart. He seemed to think of the scene in the world of cultivation he had just passed through, and his attitude towards these poor people would become softer.
Occasionally, he would even teach a few talented young people some miscellaneous arts and let them use this method to make a living.
However, this behavior will eventually cause dissatisfaction with something.
Some monsters from the mountains outside the mountains noticed the weird man carrying the coffin and the heresy he taught.
This kind of behavior was tantamount to provocation to this group of monsters, so they simply sent out their little monsters to kill "Zuo Chen".
In this way, friction naturally occurred between the two sides, and "Zuo Chen" naturally slapped the heads of the little monsters who were provoking trouble away.
It was like a spark lighting up a dry haystack.
Zuo Chen followed behind, just watching helplessly as he used to preach and teach in various Western countries, solving doubts, and smashing the heads of various monsters.
The monsters who were beaten are getting better and better.
He fiddled with the river of time and found that he had been living in this Western country for six years. When he turned to the last page, the hero "Zuo Chen" had already He beat a young demon master who came from Shiwanda Mountain until he knelt down and cried bitterly, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
The master slapped his forehead after seeing the young demon master:
"Oh! Yes, it's him, the young master Xiaoqiongqi who was beaten to the ground by Guyan. He called himself Lao after he returned to Shiwanda Mountain. Dad came out and was beaten again by Lao Qiongqi Suddenly, when Lao Qiongqi came out and planned to reconcile with Gu Yanzhi, Gu Yanzhi had already entered the Great West."
Zuo Chen: "..."
The co-author killed all the way across the mountain. It's really him who is outside the mountain.
Are you so reckless?
Cai Yi thought for a while and then realized what was happening. He was shocked:
"The Taoist Master would actually put the enemy back!?"
Zuo Chen opened his mouth slightly, but the words were stuck in his throat. , not a single word came out.
Caiyi, what do you mean? Do I look like the kind of person who wants to kill everyone? Do I look like it?
The "Zuo Chen" in the picture is still in the growth stage. He doesn't want to form a fatal blood feud with Shiwandashan, so he simply lets Master Qiongqi go.
The small countries he saved all kowtowed to him and called him "the Great Immortal".
The king of the small country came to "Zuo Chen" in person, bowed his head and thanked him profusely:
"I thank the great immortal for saving our people, and also ask the great immortal to stay in our country to protect the law. Our country May the whole country support you.”
After practicing in the mountains, “Zuo Chen”, whose face has already changed, asked:
“Is there a way to be resurrected?”
The king of the small country was confused: "I am afraid that only gray-robed Taoists from the West can use such methods..."
"Then I will not stay here, I will go to the West."
The king of the small country looked sad , but he didn’t dare to stop Zuo Chen at all, so he could only kowtow again:
“I just ask you to give us great supernatural powers, so that the evil monster will not come back later and harm my family and country.”
“Okay. ”
"Zuo Chen" agreed. He simply found a clean place, sat down on the same spot, and started teaching Tao Miao Zhuan.
Three days after the lecture was held, the people in the city had learned a little bit about it. Even Caiyi learned a lot from this sermon.
After the lecture was completed, "Zuo Chen" planned to leave directly and go to the great west. The king of the small country knelt in front of "Zuo Chen" again and kowtowed three times:
"Great Immortal, can you leave a name? We have inherited it, and we must at least know your name. Name.”
"Zuo Chen" stopped. He pondered for a long time before saying:
"Great Immortal... Great Immortal doesn't sound good. I am not a Great Immortal. I don't like this name either."
"Then what should I call you?"
"You call me..."
"Zuo Chen" thought for a long time:
"I only want a little joy in this life, please call me a little joy."
The king of the small country bowed down:
"From now on, we will all be a little joy."
Caiyi: “??”
Zuo Chen: “?!”
The master blinked:
"What is Xiao Huanxi?"
Zuo Chen: "...It's nothing."
Zuo Chen never thought of Xiao Huanxi. The source actually came from myself!
This little joy of yours is such a little joy!
Then the damn little Huanxi in later generations, didn’t they distort their own teachings?
Before, Zuo Chen was wondering where these acrobatics were handed down from.
After watching for a long time, Zuo Chen realized that the source of that damn thing was myself!
Is this considered fate? Or is it some kind of destined bad taste?
Without any time to think, the script turned to another page.
"Zuo Chen" finally left the dangerous mountain outside the mountain and came to the place where the gray-robed Taoists were.
Great Western.
Compared with An Ningshen, this vast western area is not prosperous, and I couldn’t find a good place to stay after walking for a long time.
"Zuo Chen" carried a coffin and searched in the wilderness for more than ten days, and finally found a towering mountain.
He went up the mountain and saw a temple at the top of the mountain. There were chants in the temple, the sound of thunder pierced his ears, and his mind was clear.
The temple gate opened, and two paths opened to lead the way, leading "Zuo Chen" into the temple.
Finally, "Zuo Chen" saw a group of thin Taoists in the hall.
Zuo Chen, who was following behind, thought he would see the old monk Sanjue here, but found that this was not the case.
He is even drier and dying, but he is full of compassion.
Taishi introduced:
"The person who was enlightened in the past, as long as the years have passed, the person I saw was always him."
The Buddha body in the past has its own mystery.
In the past, the Awakened One personally received Zuo Chen, who was weary of travel. He seemed to want to give Zuo Chen a cleansing, but Zuo Chen directly put the coffin to one side, bowed his head and paid homage to Zuo Chen. :
“The journey is one hundred and eight thousand miles, and the mountain climbing is ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties, but I have to seek the art of the cycle of life and death.”
The enlightened ones in the past sighed:
“Donor, is there a Taoist companion in the coffin?”
“No, it’s a mentor, a person who introduced Taoism.”
“Donor, there’s a lot of you in the coffin. Years?”
“Three years for the living, six years for the dead”
“Donor, why are you obsessed with this?”
"She sacrificed her life to save my life."
The past enlightened man closed his eyes:
"Idiot."
"Zuo Chen" said nothing.
“The deceased has passed the period of soul rebirth, and the ghost soul has already entered the rolling reincarnation. Unless the earth, fire, water, and wind are reshaped, how can a soul created out of thin air be your original master?”
This sentence was like a hammer that broke "Zuo Chen's" state of mind.
"Zuo Chen" who was kneeling on the ground was silent, but Zuo Chen who was standing next to him suddenly felt a pain in the palm of his hand.
He raised his hand and looked at his palm.
Already scarred.
Sighing in his heart, Zuo Chen had to continue to watch the passage of time.
This is far from the era when the emperor said that he was the best in ancient and modern times.
I’m afraid we have to continue on this tortuous road.
While sighing, Zuo Chen suddenly seemed to notice something.
He turned his head slightly and looked at the corner of the Buddhist temple.
There, the little monk was facing Zuo Chen with a gentle smile.
