Chapter 263 Asking the Master to Come Down the Mountain
The sun shines through the clouds and scatters on the Gray Mountain, dispersing the thick fog and the shadows wrapped in the Gray Mountain.
The figure of the boss has long since disappeared. It was chopped into ashes by an ancient thunderbolt and completely turned into smoke and dust. The thick thunder also directly hit the tall tree behind the boss. The black trees followed It cracked in the middle, made an overwhelming squeaking sound, fell backwards, and hit the ground directly, kicking up a lot of dust.
These black tree trunks turned into liquid at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a sea of misery all over the ground. Zuo Chenjie took out a white jade bottle from his sleeve, pointed it towards the ground, pinched out the seal, and chanted in his mouth Said:
“Take it!”
A large amount of black liquid was sucked up directly and entered the white jade bottle at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The Kuhai River that had not yet overflowed disappeared in an instant, leaving only grass and trees.
Floating to the ground, white flowers were scattered around him, but he felt a little melancholy in his heart.
The formation exists, but it has become extremely weak.
Zuo Chen has not broken through the formation yet, and the thick fog in his left eye has not yet dissipated.
Looking up at the Gray Mountain, Zuo Chen could feel that something seemed to be calling him from above the mountain.
With enough time, Zuo Chen walked directly towards the Gray Mountain.
Slowly walking down the mountain and climbing up the steps that were already overgrown with weeds, Zuo Chen still couldn't recall any memories of that Taoist from that time ago.
He only vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a young man under his knees, like Caiyi, accompanying him.
Soon I arrived in front of the thatched house again, and everything in front of me was exactly the same as in my memory.
Still so scrawled and silent.
With a lot of loneliness and desolation.
Walking through the yard, Zuo Chen seemed to see a young man standing at the door.
The young man was sweeping the yard with a broom. When he saw him coming back, he immediately stopped what he was doing and showed a bright smile in the direction of Zuo Chen:
"Taoist Master , you are back.”
Continuing to walk inward, Zuo Chen saw a middle-aged man with an ordinary face holding an ax and chopping firewood on a large wooden pile when he was in the middle of the courtyard.
He seemed to hear footsteps coming from outside the courtyard, stopped what he was doing, and turned his head slightly:
"Taoist priest, did you go down the mountain to find some delicious food today?"
Continuing to walk deeper, we came to the back of the yard.
Zuo Chen saw the simple grave.
An old man in Taoist uniform was standing next to the grave, looking at the grave.
He stared at the grave for a long time, and Zuo Chen was waiting for him silently here.
"Ah. Taoist Priest."
Finally, the old man slowly turned his head and looked in the direction of Zuo Chen, showing a gentle smile:
"Really? Long time no see.”
"I have already forgotten you."
Zuo Chen said.
"After all, I am still missing a move." The old Taoist sighed: "I went down the mountain before I could get the true method. My methods were not enough, and I fell into the trap."
Listen to what he said,< br>
The memory in Zuo Chen's mind finally seemed like a flat lake with stones thrown into it.
Some vague memories, like those from a long time ago, slowly poured into Zuo Chen's mind.
Zuo Chen saw the Taoist who was alone on the Gray Mountain.
After leaving the capital, he once again returned to cutting wood alone, boiling water alone, and living alone.
He seemed unaffected.
However, his body was indeed getting thinner day by day and he looked exhausted.
He built a simple wooden boat out of wood. However, there were many wonderful tricks on the wooden boat. Just step on it and row the oars, and the wooden boat would go straight into the sky and leave this world.
However, after the completion, the Taoist did not ride away.
He stared at the wooden boat for a long time, watching the sun rise during the day and the moon rising at night.
The Taoist seems to be thinking about something.
At the end, he let out a long sigh, and the fire he pinched in his hand burned the ship to ashes.
His destiny has reached its end, and even if he leaves, he may not be able to resist for a few days.
It has been ten years of death and no life.
It’s better to stay here longer and see the ending.
I wanted to sit quietly in this thatched cottage and wait for death, but suddenly I saw a white light in the distance.
The Taoist boy who has been with him for more than sixty years has returned to his side.
The Taoist could clearly see that his disciple was seriously injured.
"Master. Disciple is unfilial."
The old man was wounded in body and soul. He kowtowed and said his final farewell to his master:
"Disciple is not capable enough and has extravagant expectations. He was unable to save the people. He was so sad that he could not continue to study Taoism with the Taoist priest. "
The Taoist priest who was originally calm and calm finally helped the old man up and took him into his arms. In arms.
The old man's eyes were cloudy at this moment:
"I don't know that these are troubled times, and the true Dharma is not available, so I can't come out of the mountain!"
Close his eyes.
The Taoist boy’s head fell into the Taoist’s arms.
The Taoist gazed at the Taoist in his arms, layers of black energy arose in the Taoist heart, and his life was gone.
But he did not dissipate. Dots of white light emerged from the old man's body and merged into the Taoist's body, becoming one.
All the spiritual energy of the Taoist poured into the body and reintegrated into the meridians.
The Taoist spirit is reunited and has three flowers again.
Some people’s lives are over, but their bodies are not dead.
Some people are physically dead, but their lives are not yet over. At this moment, we have returned to our original origin, without being affected by fate.
Still a Taoist, but the dust of the past has been washed away.
Like a new life.
But to the Taoist, he seemed to have lost all his Taoism. He was startled by the head in his arms and backed away repeatedly.
It’s like just arriving in this world.
And he also knocked down a book on the table.
It was a Taoist scripture copied by the Taoist himself. He wanted to give it to his disciples after he came down from the mountain.
......
This short memory flashed through Zuo Chen's mind like running water, causing only a few ripples.
But Zuo Chen still couldn't remember what he had experienced and what he had done a long time ago.
But at this moment, he was finally sure that the cause and effect of this body was indeed related to him.
It cannot be taken off or washed off.
When he looked at the old man in front of him again, Zuo Chen could also see that this was his last remaining thought.
Originally, I couldn’t see this idea.
But the boss intensified it from the grave and used the mysterious treasure to influence himself. Only in this way did such a scene appear like Zhuang Sheng's dream.
This may be just a shadow in the memory.
Perhaps it is an afterimage that actually talks to myself.
I saw the old Taoist lifted his robe and bowed in the direction of Zuo Chen:
"Taoist Master."
"Yes."
"Nowadays, all sentient beings in Daliang are suffering. The harmful thieves have extended their black hands to the floating life in an attempt to destroy the world."
"I understand."
"Although I leave this world and the floating life It's also a method, but I don't want to abandon the common people. You once taught me that people are the foundation and only by relying on people can you become an immortal. I have always kept it in mind. "
The old Taoist spoke slowly, and he. His face seemed to be slowly changing.
Starting from the original old man, he gradually became younger, turned into the middle-aged woodcutter who chopped wood, and turned into the young man who was a shabby young man.
The young man said to Zuo Chen:
"Taoist Master, I am not capable enough and I failed, but I know that you are capable enough. Even the sun, moon and stars in the sky cannot compete with you.
"I No matter how hard you try, you still can't win that day. I think you can.
"This is just my selfish desire. To me, the next words may be disrespectful to you, but I still want to..."
The young man slowly knelt down, slowly Kowtow slowly:
"Please ask my teacher to enter the Kyoto, break the monopoly of power, and let the people of Li be enlightened.
"Please ask my teacher to use the sharp sword of the magic weapon to kill the thieves who have harmed the world and restore peace to the world.
“Ask my mentor to use his magical method to retreat from the sea of suffering, so that living beings can continue to live on.
“Ask my mentor...
“Go down the mountain to save the world.”
Zuo Chen looked at the child kneeling in front of him.
In a trance, I seemed to see the shadow that had been guarding at the foot of the mountain, hoping to go up the mountain to seek enlightenment.
"I will."
The young man looked up, with an expression of relief finally showing on his face.
"The evil spirits in this world must have nowhere to hide."
His body turned into a stream of light, and eventually disappeared into smoke in the wind.
What was left in front of Zuo Chen was a simple grave.
Nothing unusual at all.
Zuo Chen breathed a long sigh of relief and looked up at the sky.
The surrounding dark clouds have been blown away, leaving only a bright sunshine.
One more image was added to the image surrounding his Nascent Soul.
It is an old Taoist priest and a young Taoist priest.
The two walked side by side, only their backs could be seen.
The clouds rise in the mist, looking at the entire gray mountain from the sky.
The formation has not yet ended, but there is no life in it.
He simply took out the Dow finger in his hand and flicked his fingers towards the formation below.
The soil and trees in the entire formation suddenly changed several times, and the entire sealing formation also changed its appearance in an instant, turning into a mysterious formation.
If you enter this formation without hesitation, you will definitely lose your way and eventually leave here confused.
After doing this, Zuo Chen continued to take off.
He crossed the village, crossed the long road, crossed the direction that the capital once took, and came to Qingzhou City.
At this moment, it was getting a little late, and the afterglow of the setting sun was shining on the walls of Qingzhou City, reflecting a little bit of gold.
It is completely different from the newly reclaimed wasteland I saw in my memory.
Waving the Taoist robe, it landed directly in the courtyard of Zhengjiu Escort Bureau. At this moment, the food was already served, and everyone seemed to be looking in the direction of the door, waiting for Zuo Chen to come back.
When Zuo Chen suddenly appeared in the yard, a large group of people were startled. Caiyi was the first to react and came to Zuo Chen's side happily:
"Taoist Priest, everything is settled."
"Solved." Zuo Chen nodded.
He reached out and touched the wine bowl in front of him.
The wine has just been heated.
