The spiritual thought is not an ordinary language, but a piece of message thought. The three titles of Xiao Yingwen, Deacon Xiao, and Senior Brother Xiao are included in it, and they represent the same identity.
Xiao Guang has not heard this kind of address for many years. Xiao Yingwen was his original name when he was in the Eastern Kingdom, and at that time he was the deacon of the Sutra Collection Hall in Dingfengtan.
Since the person who came called him that, his identity was already revealed. In addition to their three brothers, there were still nineteen formal disciples left in Dingfengtan back then. I don’t know which one came, but he had actually broken through to Dacheng cultivation!
Xiao Guang turned around and subconsciously turned on the law enforcement recorder. Then he saw a person approaching in the night. He was surprised and said: "Who are you?" He didn't recognize the person who came, and he moved back when he spoke.
Stay vigilant every step of the way.
The two people facing each other under the moonlight were both described as being in their thirties.
Xiao Guang is actually fifty-five years old. He looks so young because of his cultivation. The secret method of Dingfeng Pond is inherently good at maintaining health, otherwise he would not have the unique magical power of a pool of spring water.
After the Sanhu Gang was eradicated, Xiao Guang felt a little haggard while on duty on the streets. Perhaps it was because he had recently re-learned the art of cultivating energy, or because his identity and mentality had changed, and he had become younger recently.
The stranger in front of him felt that he had an ordinary look, but it was obviously not ordinary. This was how the Dacheng monk described his state of mind. The man replied: "Don't you recognize me, Deacon Xiao? I am Pan Wencai, a disciple of Elder Wang Muyan."
"
With this reminder, Xiao Guang suddenly remembered this person and said quickly: "Oh, you are Xiaocai, the disciple of Uncle Wang Yan! You have grown so big that I almost didn't recognize him.
I haven’t seen you for more than 20 years, but you have already achieved great success. You must have had another adventure after leaving Dingfeng Pond. Did you come all the way from the Eastern Kingdom to come here to see me... How are you doing, Uncle Wang?
"
Of course, Dingfengtan also has generations in the family. The head of the family, Lu Mubai, was born with the character "Mu", while Xiao Guang, Sima Zhi, Lang Xiaomin and others were born with the character "文". Xiao Guang's original name was Xiao Yingwen.
It is a coincidence that the name contains the word "文".
After all, these monks live in modern society. The younger generation of disciples usually call each other by their original names, and the sect's name is only used on specific occasions.
When Xiao Guang joined the sect, there were only three elders of the Mu generation in the sect: the leader Lu Mubai, the elder Wang Muyan, and the other elder was Xiao Guang's master Hou Mulin.
Before Dingfengtan was destroyed, Hou Mulin had already passed away. When Dingfengtan was destroyed, both Lu Mubai's body and spirit were destroyed, and the elder Wang Yan was the only elder in the family. The name Wang Muyan was actually
The elder's last name plus the sect number.
Except for Wang Yan, the remaining eighteen formal monks in Dingfengtan were all successors of the "Wen" generation, and the sect had not yet had time to recruit the next generation of disciples.
As for the monk in front of him, Xiao Guang had met him back then. His name was Pan Cai, and he was a disciple of Elder Wang Yan. It is said that he was also a relative of this elder. When Dingfengtan was destroyed, Pan Cai's cultivation had not yet started, so Dingfeng
His name is not recorded in Fengtan's "Genealogy of Disciples of All Dynasties".
I remember that Pan Cai was only fourteen years old and still in junior high school at that time. Unexpectedly, we met again in Banda City more than twenty years later.
Pan Cai suddenly appeared in Banda City, calling himself Pan Wencai, calling Xiao Guang Deacon Xiao, and calling his master Wang Yan Wang Muyan. He obviously still regarded himself as a disciple of Dingfengtan, which made Xiao Guang instinctively feel that something was wrong.
.
When Xiao Guang met an old friend in a foreign country, and the child who had not yet started practicing cultivation has now become a mature monk, Xiao Guang was also surprised and surprised at the same time, and his mood was very complicated.
Hearing Xiao Guang mention his master, Pan Cai looked a little sad and said: "Three years after the catastrophe in Dingfengtan, I had just broken through the four realms, and my master had already passed away. Before his death, he killed him and took him with him.
Both of his magic weapons were passed on to me.
Later, I had other opportunities while traveling in the world, and I got guidance from a master of Huawai. I achieved great success the year before last. In the past few years, I have visited various places and found the senior brothers from Dingfengtan one by one, but I could not contact senior brothers Xiao, Ma, and Xu.
Three senior brothers.
It wasn't until recently that I heard the news that the Dingfengtan leader's token, the mountain-holding artifact, the Dingfeng Pan, had reappeared in the world. It actually appeared thousands of miles away in the Black Wilderness Continent and was placed in a place called Yangyuan Valley.
I contacted my classmates at that time and told them the news. No matter how far they lived or whether they were busy with worldly affairs, they all took the time to come here together. It was very touching!
After arriving here, we found out that the three senior brothers had built an extraterrestrial training dojo here and practiced in seclusion in the wilderness. Not long ago, the dojo was taken away by others, and the wind-fixing plate was also used to build a cave.
In fact, the nineteen of us have been here for half a month, and have been secretly investigating the cause of this matter. We have also been paying attention to senior brother for many days, and today we finally showed up to meet..."
Xiao Guang sighed: "I said recently, why do I always feel like being spied on? I thought..." He stopped talking and changed his tone, "Junior brother, we haven't seen each other for many years, so don't stand here.
Let’s talk here, find a place to sit for a while, where are the others?”
Pan Cai replied: "I will meet with my senior brother today to discuss, and then I will invite everyone to meet together. When there are many people, we can discuss important plans together!"
Xiao Guang's mood was very complicated, and even had an indescribable weirdness. If he was unable to put it on Pan Cai's words, he also took him to a string. If you find a place to sit down, you can talk about it. By the way, drink beer.
The place where Lu Huowang was smoking strings was not in the same place as Lu Huowang's group of patrol members, so Xiao Guang led Pan Cai through the streets and alleys to another district.
Each district in Banda City has a community cultural square, next to the street office and police station. There is usually a 24-hour restaurant not far from the police station.
The boss and waiters take turns taking breaks, but the restaurant remains open all night, and no one will cause trouble here, because the police station is right next to it, as are the district joint law enforcement brigade and the special patrol team.
The place Xiao Guang was looking for was a Youpo noodle restaurant, one of the businesses under the Huanxiang Industrial Group. Today's Youpo noodle restaurant's business scope has long gone beyond Youpo noodles and various noodles. It not only provides home-cooked dishes, but also operates barbecues from night to night.
The owner and waiter of the noodle shop all knew Xiao Guang. They were surprised when they saw him taking his friends out for a late-night snack, so they hurried out and greeted him warmly.
They did not sit in the room, but set up a small table in the nearby Civic Cultural Square, set up a long small oven, and sat on two small stools to drink and chat.
It was past midnight, and there were actually quite a few people coming here for late-night snacks. It was rare that it didn’t rain at night, so there were many tables of customers sitting in the open air at the entrance of the store and in the small square. Many people knew Xiao Guang, and they stood up and nodded to say hello.
.
Pan Cai said: "It's so late and there are so many people!"
Xiao Guang explained: "Some people have just finished their night shift, and some have just finished patrolling. Drinking a glass of wine here to relieve fatigue is also a kind of leisure and social interaction."
Pan Cai: "Many people know Senior Brother."
Xiao Guang: "I often lead teams on field trips recently and have participated in many on-site operations. Many people look familiar to me."
Pan Cai lamented: "The dignified deacon of Dingfengtan has fallen to this."
Xiao Guang shook his head and said: "You don't have to say it like that. There is no such thing as degeneracy. This is who I am now and what I do every day. Don't mention the name Xiao Yingwen or the title of Deacon Xiao anymore. There is no fixed trend in the world.
Tan, and I am no longer the same person, now my name is Xiao Guang..."
After a conversation, Xiao Guang roughly understood Pan Cai's experience over the years.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Pan Cai went to school normally. After graduating from college, he first worked in a large state-owned enterprise for two years, then moved to a private company for two years, and then started his own business. Now he has a career.
Successful.
But Pan Cai also had another life that was unknown to ordinary people. His master, Wang Yan, was once disheartened after the sect was destroyed. He spent the last few years of his life guiding Pan Cai's practice. Pan Cai was in high school.
He had already broken through the four realms of cultivation before graduation, so he was considered to be an outstanding talent.
After the death of his master, Pan Cai traveled around as a casual cultivator after work. Fortunately, he met a senior master named Tao Qi. Tao Qi admired him very much and gave him a lot of advice.
He broke through to Dacheng cultivation level two years ago.
This Tao Qi master has quite an origin. He was once the disciple of Tao Ranke, the leader of the Western Kunlun monks.
The so-called West Kunlun, also known as Kunlun Wonderland, is not a real fairyland, but a vast natural blessed land, which is equivalent to the completed Yangyuan Valley Cave Heaven, except that the scale is many times larger, and it is not built by manpower but formed naturally.
West Kunlun is a good place for outsiders to practice, and there are many sects and scattered cultivators in it. Tao Ranke is a highly skilled cultivator. He was the leader of the West Kunlun Lok Cultivator Alliance, and later became one of the founders of the Kunlun Alliance.
one.
Pan Cai was not officially assigned to Tao Qi's sect. Tao Qi only met him by chance. Seeing that this young man had good qualifications, he gave some tips. Tao Qi had actually done a lot of things like this.
As for the disciples of the original Dingfengtan who are living in various places, most of them are not as blessed as Pan Cai. Although they are diligent, their achievements are limited. In short, no one can break through to great achievements like Pan Cai.
This is also a normal situation. Even if Dingfengtan is not destroyed, the possibility of a Dacheng monk among these disciples is extremely small.
It is not too difficult to find the Dingfengtan disciples who are scattered all over the country one by one. After all, in modern society, brothers and sisters all know their home addresses and contact numbers. Pan Cai can get the address book from Elder Wang Yan.
Especially in the Internet age, communication has become easier and easier. A few years ago, Pan Cai also set up a WeChat group, including all the disciples of Dingfengtan. Except for Elder Wang Yan, who is no longer alive, the other eighteen
Everyone is living a good life now, and their lives are good. They all have at least the fourth realm of cultivation, and many of them have broken through the fifth realm. As long as they do something with their heart, they can live in peace and have no worries about food and clothing.
There are always people who say that since you seek freedom through practice, why bother working hard in the world? People who say this actually just don’t have personal experience. Even if monks do the same thing, they feel different from ordinary people, with different physical and mental states, just like Yang
A grocery store owner like the old man.
These nineteen people often chat in the WeChat group and communicate offline. Many of them have career contacts and cooperation. Although the sect is no longer around, they still form a casual cultivator organization. The youngest among them is Pan.
After Cai achieved a breakthrough in cultivation, he seemed to have become the leader of this organization.
Not long ago, Master Tao Qi, whom he had not seen for five or six years, suddenly contacted Pan Cai and told him the latest news from a country thousands of miles away.
The Fixed Wind Pan reappeared in the world, and it turned out that it was taken overseas by Xiao Yingwen and three others. They also took away the sect's three canons and the most important inherited magic weapon of Fixed Wind Pool.
These three brothers became the bosses behind the local gangs. Their misbehavior ended up in the hands of an expert. All the things they took away from Dingfengtan were also taken away and fell into the hands of a young man named Hua Zhenxing.
Dingfeng Pan was renamed Fufeng Pan, and Feng Zhan was renamed Chun Yuzhi. With the help of three senior masters, this young man named Hua Zhenxing is building a Yangyuan Valley cave and recruiting disciples to teach his unique creation.
The art of nourishing the essence...
That's all Tao Qi knew. He heard what his master Tao Ranke said, and Tao Ranke was the elder of the Kunlun League. After taking care of the three brothers from Sanhu Town, Old Man Yang also said hello to the Kunlun League.
Otherwise, Leader Mei would not have specially sent Guang Ren and Shi Shuangcheng here.
Tao Qi didn't mean anything else. He just knew that Pan Cai had been contacting his senior brothers over the years, but had never found Xiao Yingwen and the other three. Now that he finally learned about his whereabouts, he specifically notified him.
Pan Cai was very excited and immediately contacted eighteen senior brothers and made an appointment to take time to travel thousands of miles to the country of Jili. They came here to meet up separately. Some of them actually came as engineering and technical personnel to assist in the construction. In short, each had his own role.
Each method.
Because there was too little information, everyone was not in a hurry to show up. With Pan Cai's intermediary contact, they split up to inquire about the information. They had to find out the situation here and understand the cause of the incident. After the investigation of the situation was almost complete, Pan Cai showed up.
Found Xiao Guang.
In Dingfengtan back then, apart from the master and the two elders, Xiao Guang had the highest status among the other disciples, and was the deacon of the Sutra Pavilion. The so-called deacons were not only the gatekeepers of the Sutra Pavilion, but also symbolized the inheritance of the sect.
His secret identity, now that his elders are gone, Xiao Guang is the most important person in the sect if we don't talk about his cultivation level.
Pan Cai introduced his experiences over the years, his thoughts mixed with whispers, and it didn't take long.
Xiao Guang had just grilled a row of mutton skewers. The oil was sizzling and exuding an alluring aroma. He picked up half of it, turned the iron drill and put it on Pan Cai's side. He said with emotion: "It turns out that Elder Wang
He has been dead for many years, but fortunately all the junior brothers are still well. What are your plans for coming here together this time?"
Pan Cai: "Master passed away at the age of ninety, which is regarded as a happy birthday in the eyes of the common people. The only regret is that the thousand-year-old sect has been destroyed in the hands of contemporary disciples. If it weren't for this bad mood, he would have died.
It is not difficult to live a long life.
Let’s not talk about this anymore. If you want to ask why we are here, senior brother, let me first tell you about your experiences over the years. You lived in seclusion in the world to create a blessed place. You were originally pure and free, so how could such a change happen?"
Now that Pan Cai has come to visit, and now that the Yangyuan Technique Center and the Yangyuan Master Headquarters have been officially established, Xiao Guang has nothing to hide and tells his experience of waiting for the three brothers from the beginning.
Talking about the past is also a kind of review and introspection of life. Looking at the unfamiliar junior brother in front of him, Xiao Guang felt inexplicably in a daze. The experience in Sanhu Town in the past twenty years seemed pale and thin in his memory, with almost nothing.
It's easy to talk about, I feel like I can get through it in just a few words.
As for the experience in the Dingfengtan Sect before coming to the Black Desolate Continent, it is a bit blurry, and even feels like a world away. The reason for the blur is not because of the long time, nor because of unclear memory.
Xiao Guang was the deacon of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion and practiced in the sect's ashram all year round. He didn't spend much time outside. He was almost like a worldly master living in seclusion in the mountains. But when he recalled this experience, he felt that
It's a bit like looking at another person's story.
While recounting the past, Xiao Guang suddenly realized why he failed to recognize Pan Cai at first sight. It wasn't because he couldn't remember the other person's description. It turned out that in his state of mind, he was no longer the Xiao Yingwen he was before.
When Xiao Guang served as the deacon of the Sutra Pavilion in Dingfengtan, he had already reached the five realms. In the twenty years in Sanhu Town, although he failed to break through to a higher realm, he had completed the five realms.
It is theoretically impossible for a person like him to forget his younger brother in the sect. Although Pan Cai was only fourteen years old when they last met, in fact, he had already grown up, and with Xiao Guang's eyesight, he could recognize him at a glance.
The reason why we don't know each other is because of our current state of mind.
The experience that I feel is particularly clear is that he started working on the streets wearing a blue armband, and then was transferred to the Public Security Bureau and then step by step to where he is today, becoming the commander-in-chief of the Joint Law Enforcement Department of Banda City.
In fact, not only Xiao Guang, but also most members of the New Alliance have similar feelings. The past life seems unreal. Only the experience of life after the emergence of the New Alliance is clear and vivid.
Xiao Guang is a perfect monk in the Five Realms, and his feelings are different from ordinary people. He was the deacon of Dingfengtan Sutra Pavilion, later the boss behind the Sanhu Gang, and now the operational commander of the Joint Law Enforcement Department of Banda City. This is not a personality.
Split, but different lives...
Many changes occur unconsciously. From quantitative changes to qualitative changes, there is usually an opportunity for awakening. Pan Cai's sudden arrival is just this opportunity for Xiao Guang. When he has to face the past, he suddenly
I woke up to my current self at an outdoor barbecue stall.
But what Pan Cai wants to ask is definitely not these, but the story of how the three old men took Hua Zhenxing and Charles to clean up the three brothers, as well as the current situation of the Yangyuan Technique Center and the Yangyuan Master Headquarters.
After Xiao Guang finished speaking roughly, the two of them unknowingly drank three bottles of beer each. Pan Cai frowned and said: "Senior brother is still working hard in the streets at midnight. It turns out that he did it as a last resort because his cultivation was banned by the master.
, I have gained a little bit from my practice now, so I will try to see if I can unlock the ban for my senior brother..."
Xiao Guang was just about to say no, but Pan Cai had already made a move. He didn't see any other movements, but reached across the table and put his hand on his shoulder. Xiao Guang couldn't stop him even if he wanted to, and he knew Pan Cai wouldn't harm him, so he had to let go.
Physical and spiritual coordination.
As expected, this junior brother had profound magical power, and his spiritual energy moved through Xiao Guang's muscles and bones, but he controlled it extremely exquisitely, without any damage or injury. After a moment, Pan Cai withdrew his hand and said: "Brother, please try to see if the magical power has been restored.
As before?"
Xiao Guang shook his head: "No!"
Pan Cai: "I'll try again."
Pan Cai tried three times in a row, using every means he could think of. Xiao Guang could also feel that his methods were clever, but they didn't work. Finally, he had to ask: "Junior brother, when we first met, did you notice that I
Has your magical power been banned?"
Pan Cai: "I didn't see that. I was just trying various ways to unlock the ban."
Xiao Guang: "You haven't even figured out how I was banned from magical powers. It seems that senior Yang's cultivation is unfathomable. Junior brother, there is no need to try again. As long as I don't fail for three years, by then
The ban will be lifted on its own, so don’t worry too much.”
While the two of them were talking, Yue Gao Le and Guang Ren also came. These two people also got a table and a small oven and sat down to have an outdoor barbecue. They were located far away at the other end of the square. Xiao Guang and Pan Cai were not
Know them and don't notice them.
Yue Gaole held the beer in one hand and took a sip with the iron drill in the other, and said with spiritual thought: "Little Taoist Priest, with your cultivation level, can you tell what kind of methods Old Man Yang used?"
Guang Ren also replied with his spiritual mind: "I can't see it, but I can guess what kind of method it is."
About Gao Le: "Can you solve it?"
Guang Ren: "I can't break it! But this is also an opportunity for Xiao Guang and the other three brothers. Why bother to forcefully break the seal? What's the opportunity for bad guys?"
Yue Gao Le: "Then why don't you go and remind Pan Cai?"
Guang Ren: "No need to remind me, Pan Cai can't be solved either. After seeing Pan Cai and listening to what he said, I understood why Mr. Feng asked my junior uncle to come here."
Yue Gaole smiled: "I understand now? I guess it wasn't Shi Shuangcheng who wanted to come, but Feng who deliberately provoked her to come because he knew what her temper was like. Otherwise, how could Shi Shuangcheng know about this... You
Guess what the purpose of Pan Cai’s group is?”
Guang Ren: "Of course I came here for the inheritance of Dingfengtan! And the destruction of Dingfengtan back then was related to Mr. Feng, because they colluded with the scum of you Gambis Ting and tried to secretly murder Mr. Feng. Shi Shuangcheng represents him here.
Master, you should finally give me an explanation."
Yue Gaole was not angry, and still asked with a smile: "If Pan Cai hadn't called all the senior brothers here, we wouldn't be in trouble today. In your opinion, who wants to give an explanation to whom?"
Guang Ren: "Since Pan Cai wants to represent Dingfengtan back then, he must give a thorough explanation of what happened in Dingfengtan."
Yue Gao Le: "I originally thought that the little Taoist priest was the representative of the Kunlun League, but now I know that you are just an escort and witness."
Guang Ren: “That’s how it should be.”
Yo Gao Le: "Are we just going to sit here and eavesdrop?"
Guang Ren: "Let's wait and see what Xiao Guang's attitude is. Senior Yang and fellow Taoist Hua have given the three brothers opportunities and chances. I hope he won't be obsessed with it anymore."
