Chapter 26 Buddhism (2)

After hearing this, the young Taoist priest turned his eyes unconsciously and looked at the branches and leaves that were stepping on his feet. His face changed slightly and he swallowed.

In fact, he really couldn't see this Jianmu, just like a man bowing his head and only seeing the soil, but the whole mountain. But he absolutely couldn't forget the situation when he saw this Jianmu from a distance when he came here. At that time, he thought it was a mountain, towering, thick, and the same clouds and mist. Compared to the surrounding peaks, the surrounding peaks were considered small until he approached. After entering, he realized that this was an unparalleled giant tree. Now these few people stood on the top of their branches and leaves, just like a few ants on an ordinary towering tree.

"This is the only remaining fruit of the Five Elements Sect. I heard that there were other things in ancient times, but for some reason it disappeared. This giant tree that ordinary people can't imagine. I don't know how many years it will take to grow into this shape... I don't know what methods the people of the Five Elements Sect used to make this alien giant tree accumulate such a strong vitality over ten thousand years, but it has not turned into a monster."

The young Taoist priest looked at the dense branches and leaves under his feet, and seemed to spread endlessly. He said unnaturally: "Fortunately, otherwise if the trees with such physical strength, essence, and the endless power of Muyuan have the wisdom and turn into monsters, they may be able to catch up with the demon wolf in Xidi..."

"How do you know that this tree has no intelligence?"

Suddenly, the Taoist priest standing at the forefront and standing with his hands behind his back spoke. This was a tall Taoist priest. He was only about thirty years old when he was gaze at a glance, his eyes were as bright as stars, his nose was like a hanging gall, and his thin lips were pursed tightly. Even the Taoist robe could not cover the dazzling handsome style in his face. What people thought of at first glance was a handsome and beautiful man, and then he would notice his identity as a Taoist priest. His sword eyebrows were extremely thick and long, and he raised them upwards, giving people the feeling that he was about to break his face and point out at the sky. The whiskers on his jaw and lips were also thick and black as ink, not giving people a sense of vicissitudes of life. They were only indescribable steady and concise, and at the same time they were sharp and bright.

In short, this is a man who can make people extraordinary at first glance, very beautiful and charming. His voice is also thick and cheerful, full of energy, with vigorous vitality and rhythm, and at the same time, he can feel the confidence and courage in it.

"Master...Master, don't scare me..." After hearing this, the young Taoist priest who was looking at the giant tree felt weak and almost fell to the ground.

"Why, Yu Hong, have you seen some clues?" asked the old Taoist priest. This handsome Taoist priest who seems to be only about 30 years old is Zhang Yuhong, a real person who is famous all over the world and is known for subduing thousands of demons and ghosts.

"Haha, what can I do if I see it?" Zhang Yuhong smiled slightly, with a bit of bitterness. "The accumulation of the Five Elements Sect for thousands of years is not a joke. This building mulberry is the foundation of the divine wood forest. It can be regarded as the only powerful creature in the world. Apart from the one Xidi, I really can't think of anyone else who can have a way to make this place. Moreover, this divine wood forest sect is taking the road of wood walking, and the natural way of rebirth and cycle will never be like the Tianhuo Mountain sect, giving people the opportunity to take advantage of it."

The old Taoist priest surnamed Liu nodded after hearing this, as if he had expected it: "Sure enough, it is impossible to be strong."

Zhang Yuhong also nodded: "I never thought about it from the beginning."

At this time, a branch and leaf rustled not far away, and then spread out to the surroundings, revealing a corridor where branches and leaves were intertwined, and a man walked up from it. This was a middle-aged man who was not wearing any clothes on his body, but was surrounded by vines and branches, and looked like a bunch of moving branches. After the middle-aged man walked up, he said to several Taoist priests of the Tianshi Sect: "The sect leader and the two elders have woken up. Please follow me."

"It's been passed on by fellow Taoists for help." Zhang Yuhong nodded and led everyone to the exposed corridor with the old Taoist surnamed Liu.

"Even if you wake up, you will have to wake up for ten days... It's really like a monster..." The little Taoist walking at the end looked very dissatisfied and muttered softly. The voice was extremely light, and even he himself sounded vague. But the old Taoist surnamed Liu, who was walking more than ten feet in front, turned around and glared at him. The little Taoist quickly fell silent and did not dare to make any noise.

The corridor between the trees is so thick that it is impossible to see the branches of the trees. It is so wide that it can make several horse-drawn carriages run on it. The sunlight scattered from the gaps on the branches and leaves above, and there are hanging vines everywhere. Some birds and squirrels jump and shuttle, and occasionally you can hear the cries of monkeys. It can be regarded as a unique scenery.

But the scenery has been full of half an hour, but it is enough to torment. Especially after walking for a full hour, as we keep going down and into the depths of the branches, the sunlight that can penetrate into the above is getting less and less, and the surroundings are getting darker and darker. The little Taoist priest walking at the end can almost only follow the person in front of him by his voice, and he also fell several times on the slippery moss lichen. Fortunately, the branches below are getting thicker and thicker, just like a ridge, and are not afraid of sliding down.

Just as the little Taoist priest was about to ask for help, a hazy light suddenly appeared, reflecting the surrounding situation. The little Taoist priest quickly got up and trotted to follow. After a closer look, he could not see where the light source came from. He could only vaguely realize that he was moving with them, as if as they moved forward, the surrounding air and scenery would naturally emit light automatically.

"The younger disciples are a little uncomfortable with this environment, so they are good at using magic in this building wood. Please forgive me for your sins." Zhang Yuhong, who was walking in front, said to the freak monster leading the way. It turned out that these lights were all from him, but they couldn't tell what magic he was using.

The strange man from the leaves nodded and said, "It's okay. Please let Zhenren Zhang take care of himself. This is also our negligence. The main reason is that very few outsiders come to this building, but we don't need light."

It's really even more monsters than monsters. The little Taoist priest dared not reveal any voice, so he could only secretly complain in his heart.

After walking like this for about an hour, the foliage monster finally led them to the place. If you don’t know that there are actually only branches of trees around you, then the scene in front of you is that they are standing in front of an extremely huge cliff. Above this cliff, an old face is emerging, and there are two other difficult to describe. I don’t know if it is a branch-shaped human or a human-shaped branch bulging beside it.

"Zhang Zhenren, I have been waiting for a long time. Master Zhang Tian, ​​I already know what you want to take. This time, I know." The old face spoke, and his voice was so strange that it seemed to be made of wood, but it could be heard clearly. However, this old face seemed to have not spoken for too long, and the combination of words was not very flexible. "You go back and tell him that we have no interest or meaning. Yunzhou, what should we do, what will happen? The way of the natural origin of heaven and earth will not seek people's hearts. You don't have to come again."

The human-shaped branches beside the old face also creaked: "Those disciples who left here, regardless of whether they were from here before, since they left, that's not the case. They claim to be people in the sacred wood forest, and it's their own business. The people of Yunzhou regard us have nothing to do with us. It's their freedom to regard us as gods or to walk with the people of the Tang family, and we won't interfere. Please come back. No need to come again."

Zhang Yuhong stood there silently, his strong and slender sword eyebrows frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and the face on the wooden cliff ignored him. After saying those words, he calmed down on his own and disappeared. The two human-shaped branches next to him no longer made any sound.

After a while, Zhang Yuhong sighed heavily and turned around and walked towards the way he came: "Let's go." The Taoist priests next to him could only follow him, but the monster who led the way with branches and leaves did not follow them, turned around and threw themselves into the darkness and never saw each other again.

As he walked along the way, Zhang Yuhong never said a word, and the Taoist priests next to him did not speak, but he walked much faster than when he came down just now. This time, he only took half an hour to walk back to the top of the tree. The branches and leaves seemed to know they were coming, and they automatically moved away in front of them and gave up the original passage.

Finally, I saw the sky and sunshine above my head, but there was a hint of joy on my face. The Taoist priest was silent. For a moment, the little Taoist priest who fell to the back was exhausted from jogging and rushing.

"It's too much to deceive others! It's too much to deceive others!"

The little Taoist priest who was breathing suddenly burst out with an almost hysterical roar, which surprised the others slightly. He turned to look at him, but saw that his face was flushed and he looked extremely sad and angry, as if he had suffered a great humiliation, and even tears were faintly hidden in his eyes.

"We are from the ancestral court of the Taoist sect, the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Tianshi. Which sect in the world dares to despise us so much? Even the palace inside the palace dares not do so! We walked on the road for a whole month, and waited for five days on the wind on the wind and hung out in the open, and walked for so long. The wooden monster actually sent us away just a few words, saying that we didn't have to come again! Where is this kind of thing? Where is this kind of thing? If it is spread, where is the face of Longhu Mountain? These monsters are really too bullying! Too much bullying!"

The little Taoist priest roared angrily, and as he spoke, the tears in his eyes couldn't help falling down. The moss and mud stuck to his body and face after he fell down a few times, looked like a child who had fallen and suffered a grievance. It seemed that his resentment had been held in his heart for a long time, and it was only then that he could irresistible.

However, these words seemed to be true, and several other young Taoist priests were also indignant. No one made fun of the little Taoist priest's embarrassing appearance.

"Hahaha..." The old Taoist surnamed Liu couldn't help laughing. Although he looked depressed before, he still laughed when he saw this situation. He didn't know whether he thought the little Taoist looked ridiculous or his mentality was ridiculous. He casually explained: "If the sect leader of the Shenmulin might be over a thousand years old. He was a person of the generation of our ancestor Zhang Daoling, the ancestor of Longhu Mountain. Even if he held the etiquette of his younger generation, what if he was a little wronged?"

This sentence surprised several other Taoist priests: "How is it possible? Thousand years old? Even the authentic Taoist sect that can prolong life is the most effective way to prolong life, and at most it can only make people two or three hundred years old. If this wood-performing Taoist sect can really be so magical, will the emperors, generals and ministers who have sought immortality have been praised by the Five Elements Sect to heaven?"

After hearing this, Taoist Liu said slightly: "How many emperors, generals and ministers do you think would rather abandon the glory and wealth, and finally turn yourself into the appearance of the sect leader and elder just now? And to the point where they are, the difficulty is no easier than any other Tao."

"That's true. Even if we want to turn into the three people who are not human or ghosts just now, we don't want to live for a thousand years. And it's really hard to say whether those people are still alive or are considered humans. It's not worth it to exchange for a thousand-year life for such a person."

Liu Laodao shook his head slightly again: "It's not that they deliberately wanted to change this, but after they have reached a certain level of cultivation of the Five Elements Dharma, they will naturally find ways to transform the Five Elements to further integrate the Tao with their bodies. However, I vaguely heard that in ancient times there seemed to be a method of combining the Five Elements, but it seems that even the Five Elements Sect itself did not do it."

The young Taoist priest was still indignant. This comfort could undoubtedly not relieve the grievances in his heart. He continued to complain: "I said that these people have become monsters! Not only are they the same as monsters, but they are not even as humans as humans! Not only do they have the same friendship as monsters, but they do not even have the most basic human hearts! They do not care about the suffering of the people in the world. As long as they take action, the lives of hundreds of thousands of mountain people in Yunzhou will be countless times better, and they do not have to be controlled by the Tang family. But they do not care about it. Those mountain tribes still respect them as gods! How can such a monster with no human nature be considered my Taoist lineage?"

Liu Laodao couldn't help frowning after hearing this. He also had a stern voice in his words and said, "Zhang Hengliang, why do you have such thoughts? I really think that the Tianshi Sect is the best Taoist sect in ancient times. Anyone who does not conform to my Longhu Mountain or my thoughts is the evil heretics? With such a self-respectful mind, it seems that the status of Longhu Mountain for so many years is really not a good thing for the disciples in the sect's mind and nature cultivation! This time, you will follow me and your uncle Yuhong to come to Yunzhou to let you know that the sky is high and the earth is thick!"

The little Taoist priest named Zhang Hengliang immediately buried his head and kept silent. But he didn't seem to be convinced, and just looked at Zhang Yuhong secretly, as if he was dissatisfied with the words of Master Liu, and was thinking about listening to Zhang Zhenren.

Zhang Yuhong stood on the top of branches and leaves not far away and looked at the Yunwu Mountain in the distance with his hands. He had never even looked at this side, but he seemed to be able to feel the look of the little Taoist priest. He said lightly without looking back: "Zhang Hengliang, don't you agree, your uncle Liu Hongde is right. After reaching a profound level of cultivation, his vision is naturally different from that of ordinary people. Do you have to use your eyes to speak nonsense to others, which is different from the swallow birds that ridiculed the great penis in the Nanhua True Sutra?"

"But...but..." The little Taoist priest's face turned red, as if he had tried his best and could not turn this corner in his mind. The other young Taoist priests were either puzzled or puzzled, and they seemed to be completely understandable. "So, are we going to be in vain this time?"

"It seems that we are really in vain this time." Liu Laodao walked forward, stood beside Zhang Yuhong and sighed.

Zhang Yuhong was silent for a while and then said, "At least I brought the explanation from the head brother. As for the result, I have never asked for anything from the beginning."

"...You said that the senior brother of the sect had never asked for anything?" Liu Laodao suddenly said.

Zhang Yuhong shook his head distractedly and said, "As a contemporary celestial master, what he wants is naturally different from other people. But why should we care? In short, just do what we should do well."

"...Okay. Then let's get ready to set off for Jingzhou..."

At this time, a sharp chirping suddenly sounded from the distance of the sky, and a yellow light fell from the sky from the extremely high altitude.

"Huh? Is it a messenger? Is there anything urgent in the sect?" Zhang Yuhong and Liu Laodao both frowned. Zhang Yuhong stretched out his hand and the yellow light fell directly into his hand. It turned out that it was a talisman folded into a paper crane.

After the talisman fell into Zhang Yuhong's hand, it burned and turned into a piece of yellow light. Liu Laodao took a step back and turned around, without taking a look. This is a unique method of using a thousand miles of transmission in the Tianshi Sect. Although it seems simple, it is actually a top-grade talisman spell, which is extremely difficult to make and cost a lot of money. There are only a few people in the Tianshi Sect who are qualified to use this transmission method, so the above must be very important news. Although Liu Laodao is not an outsider, he avoids it for a while.

"Hmm? Is there such a thing?" The words condensed by Huang Guang flashed by, but Zhang Yuhong's face looked quite strange after reading it. After thinking about it, he turned around and said to Old Dao Liu: "There are some urgent matters in the door, and I may have to let me rush back first. I can only trouble Senior Brother Liu to lead them back slowly along the way."

Liu Laodao nodded quickly and waved: "You go to yours, I'll take them back slowly along the way."

"You guys are here. I have something urgent to go back to Jingzhou first. You follow Uncle Liu to walk carefully along the way." Zhang Yuhong told the young Taoist priests, and deliberately or unintentionally glanced at the youngest Taoist priest Zhang Hengliang. "The situation in Yunzhou is completely different from other places. Whether it is landscape, geography or cultural customs, you'd better forget about you being a disciple of Zhang from Longhu Mountain and listen to Uncle Liu's instructions carefully. Do you understand?"

"Yes." The little Taoist Zhang Hengliang nodded with several other young Taoist priests.

"Senior Brother Liu, then I'll take a step first." Zhang Yuhong bowed to Old Taoist Liu, then jumped out of the branches. He was originally on the edge of the branches and leaves. With the height of this Jianmu is not inferior to that of an ordinary mountain peak, there is a deep abyss below. However, neither Liu nor the young Taoist priests were panicked at all, and the little Taoist priest Zhang Hengliang showed even more envious and excited expressions.

As soon as he fell, a layer of golden light began to flow from Zhang Yuhong's body, but after falling several feet, the golden light turned into a half-fifth and half-true golden sword to hold him. Then a huge explosion sounded. He and the golden sword turned into a golden light and flew towards the distance at a speed that was hard to see in the naked eye. The stirring gusts swayed the branches and leaves of the young Taoist priests. In just a few blinks, his figure only left a small golden dot in everyone's sight.

There was a strange scream in the distance, but a long black smoke soared from a mountain where Zhang Yuhong had just passed. It seemed that something was angry by the figure that was flying by quickly. But after flying for a while in the sky, it seemed that it could not catch up with the golden light, and turned around and sank into the clouds and mist in the mountain.

Zhang Hengliang, who was so excited by this scene that his face turned red, walked to the edge of the branches and leaves, took out two talismans in his hand and said to the rest: "I still have two spiritual officials and gods here. Although I can't walk in the air like uncle, it's still no problem to protect us and jump down."

"No. Are these two top-grade talismans just to make you jump? Also, your uncle is in a hurry to rush to the road. It is a bit of a taboo in the abuse of Taoism on this building wood. Even if they probably don't care, they can't just do it because of such trivial matters." Liu Laodao pointed to the distance, where there was a circle of steps made of branches and trunks. "We'd better go there, everyone's footsteps are faster. It's better to go down to the ground before dark, otherwise they will have to tie them to the tree to sleep again."
