Li Xiuyuan suppressed the shock and excitement in his heart, looked at the old monk and said slowly: "I didn't expect the ancient times to be so wonderful. I really didn't expect to see the seniors who experienced the ancient times during this trip."

At present, the old monk is still immersed in nostalgia for the past years, how could he be aware of Li Xiuyuan's thoughts.

Looking at Li Xiuyuan who lowered his head and remained silent, the old monk continued: "The passage of time is unknown in the mountains. No matter how wonderful the events in ancient times are, they will become dust in the passing years."

If it were any old monk, the first thing he would do after waking up from the long years would be to think about how to get out of trouble, but the old monk in front of him seemed to have forgotten this important thing.

He actually talked to Li Xiuyuan about many past events in ancient times without any hurry, and also gave him a feeling of warmth and care, which made Li Xiuyuan a little confused.

The old monk looked at him quietly and said with a smile: "I said, if another guy listened to my explanation, he would have fallen into an epiphany long ago... Could it be said that you have no knowledge of the ancient times?

Not interested in secrets?"

Li Xiuyuan was slightly startled and blurted out: "What does ancient secrets have to do with me? Why did I have an epiphany?"

A self-deprecating smile appeared on the old monk's skinny face, and he murmured: "It sounds funny. After all, you have never experienced the ancient past, so you have reason not to be interested."

Li Xiuyuan didn't know what to say for a moment. Looking at the happy and expectant look in the old monk's eyes, he couldn't help but sigh again.

Although he felt a little overwhelmed inside, there was no expression on his face.

"I still don't understand."

Looking at the old monk who fell to the ground, Li Xiuyuan said calmly: "I came to Shura battlefield just to travel around. I don't expect to get any adventures from ancient times, let alone change myself because of some opportunities."

"There are countless opportunities in the ancient world. Some people get the chance to become a Buddha, and some people accidentally enter the devil's path because of a chance. You have to be careful, little guy."

Unexpectedly, the old monk fell to the ground and unexpectedly talked to Li Xiuyuan about Buddha and demons. This made Li Xiuyuan even more confused.

Li Xiuyuan looked down at the ground and replied calmly: "I am not a Buddhist disciple, how can I become a Buddha?"

The old monk was stunned, looked up at Li Xiuyuan and said, "Do you think that only people who study Buddhism can become possessed by demons? You must know that demons are everywhere..."

Li Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this, and quietly replied: "Killing people will kill people, but that's all, I won't become a demon!"

Seeing Li Xiuyuan's excited look, it was rare for the old monk not to be angry.

Instead, he glanced at him silently and said softly: "Become a Buddha or become a demon. This is the life and death choice that all monks face in the end. You are not fully aware of it right now."

Looking at his reaction, Li Xiuyuan gradually understood that the other person wanted to let him fall into the abyss, and when he found an opportunity, he would pull him into that dark place.

How could he, who had been walking in Buddhism since childhood, easily fall into the words of the old monk?

Far away from the Three Realms, he knew that he would not be able to return to this world, and there would be nothing in this world worthy of his nostalgia. If the old monk in front of him wanted to take advantage of him and Long Hongchen, he would not hesitate to draw his sword and strike out.

Now he is no longer the fat sheep at the foot of Luoxia Mountain.

Li Xiuyuan looked at the old monk silently, neither answering nor speaking, just looking at him silently.

The old monk sat quietly in the middle of the hall, looking at the calm young man in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking. The two fell into an inexplicable silence for a while.

A compassionate Buddha light suddenly appeared on that skinny face.

"Many glorious past events will eventually be buried in the long river of time."

The old monk sighed softly, but Li Xiuyuan couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.

Following this sigh, a breeze suddenly appeared in the cave, as if a breath of life had been blown over the years, giving his skinny body a glimmer of life, and he was about to sprout and blossom before his eyes.

Li Xiuyuan frowned slightly and said quietly: "The power of time is a sharp blade in the world, how can an ant like this junior be able to care about it?"

The old monk slowly raised his head, looked at him calmly and said with a smile: "I have been bound here for thousands of years... I am about to leave, do you have any other wishes?"

When the old monk said this, he paused for a long time, and then continued softly: "In my opinion, even if the sky and the earth change, some things still can't disappear."

But Li Xiuyuan wanted to say, what does the change of heaven and earth have to do with me? I just want to practice quietly and don't want to get involved in your past.

The old monk looked at him and suddenly said: "Could it be that you don't want to practice even though the Great Way of Time is placed in front of you?"

"Senior, you have also seen that this junior is just an ant. With my level of cultivation, how can I comprehend the legendary avenue of time?"

Without even thinking about it, as long as I find the fragment of the old Taoist priest's jade plate, when the time is right, what kind of law can't be practiced slowly?

I have just started practicing, and the most indispensable thing is time. I can afford to wait, and I can afford to waste it.

The old monk was stunned, looked at him and said calmly: "The law of time is only one of the three thousand avenues. Once you learn the law of time, you will desperately try to find the law of space to practice..."

"For practitioners, only by cultivating the way of time and space will there be any chance of transcending life and death and finding the secret of eternal life."

After saying this, the old monk slowly lowered his head and looked at his broken chest, with an indescribable look of loneliness and depression in his eyes.

Li Xiuyuan almost wanted to tell the old monk that he had the fragments of two of the jade dishes, but at the last moment, he heard the old monk cough and woke up.

The old monk didn't care about Li Xiuyuan's reaction at all, and said quietly: "I have been sitting here for who knows how many years, let alone how many years have passed in ancient times... But I believe that the person I met back then

Those people are all dead."

"I have not understood the avenues of time and space, but I have lived longer than ordinary people. In the end, dust will return to dust, and dust will return to dust. Thinking about it now, I can't find an enemy from back then. I'm really sad."

Li Xiuyuan frowned slightly and said: "Time, space..."

The old monk looked at him compassionately, shook his head slowly and said, "How about it, are you interested? As long as you break through the realm of transformation and comprehend the power of heaven and earth, you will have a chance to comprehend this world.

The most mysterious law."

"I'm tired and don't have the energy to think about all the things left over from ancient times. I'll ask you to solve some of the problems left over from that time..."

The old monk's voice gradually became quieter and quieter, until it was almost inaudible, so Li Xiuyuan had to work hard to listen more carefully.

Lao Jingjing looked at him and said softly: "I just accidentally fell into the trap of Donghuang people... After that, I was imprisoned here for ten thousand years, and I thought about the issue of demons and Buddhas ten thousand years ago.

Year."

Li Xiuyuan silently thought about what the old monk said, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Unexpectedly, the old monk suddenly raised his head and said seriously: "When a person has a thought, it is a thought between the life and death of gods and demons. When the Buddha said that a thought will fall into a realm, it means that the devil will be here."

It takes over your mind the moment you think of it."

"And when you are about to die with one thought, you still want to kill all the people in this world who are responsible for you. This is a devil... The same principle is said to wipe out the world with one thought."

The old monk's voice seemed particularly bright and clear at this moment, as if he was a god and Buddha walking in the world at this moment.

He had to work hard to make the young man in front of him believe that his words could tell the difference between gods and demons.

His expression was as calm as water, and even Li Xiuyuan, whose heart was as calm as water, couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Wondering whether you are a demon or a Buddha?

The old monk ignored him and said in a deep voice: "Buddhas and demons are like black and white, but more like light and darkness. In my opinion, only after experiencing darkness can you have a chance to see a glimmer of light."

The old monk tried hard to dispel the doubts in Li Xiuyuan's mind, and talked about all the so-called Tao demons in the world with a wave of his hand, in order to make the blind boy believe that he was a Buddha walking in the world.

Even so, Li Xiuyuan still did not express his opinions. In his opinion, even if there is a demon in the world, so what? It's not like he has never seen it before.

For example, the black dragon snake demon under the abyss, or the bandits selling Xiao Long'er outside Tianmen Pass, which one is not a demonic existence, and was not solved by himself one by one in the end?

However, the old monk was not hypocritical or pretentious at this moment. He did not talk about Buddhist cause and effect, nor did he talk about right or wrong in the world. He only talked about why there are Buddhas and demons in the world.

It seems like an elder in a family is explaining some of the most basic principles in the world to his younger ones.

Seeing the compassion on the old monk's face, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but said: "The world is full of wind and rain, but I am not a Buddha."

His meaning is very clear, I am neither a Buddha nor a demon.

I still don’t have the fearless courage to incarnate as a Buddha in the world and go into hell to conquer the gods and demons under the abyss.

The old monk was like a volcano about to erupt in silence. He looked at him and said with a smile: "You have to understand, no matter whether we are Buddha or demon in the end, if we don't understand the path of time, we will eventually become part of the world."

Li Xiuyuan was slightly startled and couldn't answer for a moment.

He felt that there was something wrong with the old monk's words, but for a brief moment, he couldn't understand why the old Taoist priest didn't tell him these truths?

Could it be that Master thinks he is too weak?

The old monk looked at him and said calmly: "I know what you are thinking. Both demons and Buddhas walk in the world, but when has there ever been an immortal in the world? This is the reason why the wonderful meaning of the Great Way of Time has not been understood by them.

"

Li Xiuyuan thought to himself that if he hadn't met his master, the old Taoist priest, before, he might really believe what the old monk said.

Thousands of years have passed, and even the gods and Buddhas of the past have turned into dust, but the old Taoist priest is still proud of the world. Could it be that the old Taoist priest passed on the law of time to the old monk in front of him?

Even so, he still did not dare to speak out about the old Taoist priest.

Because he remembered the words of the old Taoist priest, if he wanted to live longer, he could not mention in front of outsiders that he was his unique disciple in heaven and earth.

Therefore, he continued to choose silence.

The old monk seemed to be able to sense his anxiety and fear, looked at him with compassionate eyes, sighed softly, picked up a piece of white bone on the ground, and then threw it into the air...

Then, Li Xiuyuan was shocked again, staring blankly into the air and speechless.

Because, a piece of white bone thrown by the old monk was floating quietly in mid-air, neither flying forward nor falling to the ground.

Even my own fingers can't move at this moment...

At this moment, he once again realized that the old monk in front of him had once again used his special rule...the absolute control of time.

If I still have control over the laws of space at this moment, will I be able to go back to the previous moment and kill someone at a certain point in time?

Silently feeling the sacred breath released from the fingers of the old monk's skinny branches, Li Xiuyuan sighed softly.

This sigh was like a sigh that traveled through time. Even the old monk was stunned for a moment.

How could the boy in front of him, who was only about twelve years old, let out such a sigh that traveled through time and space? Such a sigh should not appear in Li Xiuyuan.

Is it possible that the young man in front of me is also a monster that will never appear in this world for thousands of years?

For a moment, the old monk also became confused.

"Back then, I was imprisoned in this cave. The world here was like a cage. The spiritual energy in the cave gradually disappeared, but I was able to slowly absorb it over time."
