Hearing this, a hint of indifference flashed in 'Li Xuan''s eyes, "As a cultivator, what's the difference between returning and not returning with these concerns? Let's look at the word fate!" Xuan Jizi said with a hint of disappointment on his face: " Master Li’s natural talent and ability to achieve great success in the golden elixir in more than ten years are really enviable to us juniors. However, don’t we Taoists pay attention to escaping from the world and practicing pure cultivation? Why does Master Master insist on entering the mortal world with this pure body? " Xuanjizi doesn't know what happened to Li Xuan before he came to Ziyang Temple, so he asked this question. Xuanjizi said,. Li Xuan also knows that from ancient times to the present, countless cultivators have hid in the caves of the gods that are full of aura to practice as soon as they get a glimpse of the secrets of heaven. They do not want to have anything to do with the human world, lest they Accidentally planting all kinds of karma will cause endless troubles. Or maybe the Taoist mind is distracted and caressed, and it is no longer possible to show the true nature of oneself, and the Taoist practice is not advancing but retreating, so that the pearl is covered with dust However, even if there are many fetters, 'Li Xuan' will still throw himself into the world of mortals without hesitation. , the reason for this is within its own logic. After pondering for a while, 'Li Xuan' said: "I know this, but I am not afraid of these causes and effects. At worst, I can kill them with my sword, Baiyun Canggu, I don't want to do more killings, as long as my Taoist heart is firm , you can pass by calmly: there is no way to hide from the world of mortals and thousands of causes and conditions, so it is better to change from passive to active! " After a pause, 'Li Xuan' looked at a group of geese flying overhead and said slowly: " Everything in this world relies on fate. Just like the wild geese flying overhead, although it is just a moment of surprise, it is also a kind of fate. But after flying by, who can guarantee that they will not become the hunters' dinner? The sorrow is still a trick of fate For the sake of you calling me uncle for many years, I will tell you a few more words today. You must remember it!" Taking a step forward, he bowed deeply and said, "Disciple, please listen to your uncle's teachings." If we just talk about the time of cultivation, he was born much earlier than 'Li Xuan'. Although his realm is far different from 'Li Xuan', he is still influenced by it. Next, he has a deep understanding of the so-called chance. Many practitioners often cannot reach a state in their lifetime. A word from the mouth of a senior master can enlighten them. It can be said that a word is worth a thousand dollars. Looking at the devout monk in front of me, it’s like looking at a person as a mirror. 'Li Xuan' felt a sense of desolation in his heart, and all his past experiences came to mind again. He pondered for a while and then said: "The real great road is not exactly what you think, it can only be achieved by practicing alone in a quiet place. Yes! When you reach a certain level, it is best to go to the world and practice it: if you don’t go through the training in the world, it will be difficult to get rid of the ordinary mind. If you don’t get rid of the ordinary mind, it will be difficult to reveal your true nature. If you don’t see the true nature, it will be difficult to understand the mind and see the essence. God; furthermore, it is difficult to complete higher cultivation without accumulating merit in the world, because virtue is the guide of medicine, ambition is the seedling of medicine, and willingness is the root of medicine; the ascetic himself should refine his own nature and make the best of others. Human nature, the nature of things, the nature of things, the nature of things, only then will you be able to understand all things in the world, and gain the great wisdom of being enlightened by the earthly emotions Remember this! !" After "Li Xuan" finished speaking, he sang and left, leaving no trace behind, just like flowing clouds and flowing water. If you walk all day long, you will never walk; if you sit all day long, you will never sit down. If you don’t cultivate good deeds, you will not achieve virtue, but if you do evil, you will not be guilty of it. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????只狠做不了了。 There is nothing that is not my heart, and there is nothing that is myself. Those who pursue the way of heaven sincerely know that between life and death, prosperity and decay, there are many things that are fearful, lovely and hateful, but they can follow the fate! Once I'm gone, I'm covered in stars and moon, sleeping in the open air, looking back at the end of the world. The singing gradually faded away Looking at the figure disappearing at the end of the mountain road, and then looking at the wild geese in the sky, recalling the sound that still lingered in his ears, Xuanjizi felt a sense of enlightenment in his heart, and reached out to gently cover the purple gold gourd in his arms. And the "Ghost-Spelling Spell" handwritten by 'Li Xuan', he said to himself: "The passing geese leave a sound, the passing people leave traces, although the fate is over, the love is still there! Take care, uncle" From 'Li Xuan' After leaving, Xuanjizi kept his teachings in mind and practiced diligently every day. In a few years, he had learned forty-five tenths of the Taoist teachings in "The Spell of Subduing Ghosts", and he often responded to people's requests to do something to ward off evil spirits and catch monsters. Not only did he win the title of "Half Immortal", but he also ensured the safety of a place within a hundred miles of Ziyang Temple. This will not be mentioned later. After "Li Xuan" left Yangshou Mountain, he did not take the main road. After figuring out the direction, he only picked some remote places that were inaccessible. The scenery cultivated his tranquil heart. At the same time, he also paid attention to the villages and towns he passed along the way to see if there was any Yuanshen aura from Wu Chenzi. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? After watching 'Li Xuan' for a while, I couldn't help but wonder, how could there suddenly be such a light in this barren mountain! He doesn'tI believe that in this materialistic society, there will still be some people who are noble enough to come to live in seclusion in such a place. Even those who are hiding from the world should choose a cave or a spiritual mountain. They will never come to such a remote place: and there are only people sitting around here. Apart from the ferocious-looking stone mountains and withered bushes, it really has nothing to do with the beautiful mountains and clear waters "Is it possible that some wild monster is here to confuse passers-by? Let me go and take a look." Thinking of this, He felt more vigilant in his heart, but he was no longer the same person at this time. After the golden elixir was completed, he would still be afraid of any mountain spirits and wild monsters. At worst, he could get rid of them with a wave of his hand. This is what the so-called boldness of a skilled person is like! As he approached the bamboo forest, Li Xuan 7 could see everything. Behind a low bamboo forest, there were two wooden thatched cottages standing crookedly. If he looked closely, he saw that the wooden boards were rotten, covered with moss, and the mountain wind was blowing. It made bursts of creaking sounds, giving people a feeling that it would fall down at any time; two thatched houses were built side by side, and the light that 'Li Xuan' saw before came from one of them, and the dim light reflected the front of the house. The shade of the trees shows a hint of disharmony and weirdness. After walking around the bamboo forest, 'Li Xuan' gently clicked on the door of the room with the bright light, "Is there anyone there?" After knocking on the door, he waited quietly outside the door. He was also very curious and could have gone straight. But he just wanted to see who lived in this house. After about a few breaths, I heard a female voice in the house: "Where did this mountain guest come from? So reckless! What's the matter with you?" The voice mixed with the sound of footsteps reached the ears of 'Li Xuan' squeak Amidst the sound the wooden door slowly opened, revealing the face and mouth of a woman, aged between twenty-four and five years old. Although she could not be called beautiful, she was not ugly either. "Oh! This eldest sister, I came here in a hurry and felt thirsty. I saw you had a light, so I took the liberty to come and ask for a glass of water!" 'Li Xuan' said while paying attention to the woman's face. The expression on his slightly delicate face was calm and natural, with no trace of abnormality. As soon as the woman opened the door, she saw a tall young man with a gourd hanging from his waist standing in front of her door. His body was almost as high as the eaves. Then she looked at the Taoist robe on Li Xuanqi. In the woman's eyes Then he flashed a look of displeasure and said with a cold face: "My brother has not returned from his trip, and it is not convenient for us to entertain guests at home. If you feel uncomfortable with thirst, climb over the mountain in front of you. There is a willow forest there with a peach tree in the middle. There is a well under the tree, where can you go and drink?" After saying that, without waiting for 'Li Xuan' to reply, he closed the wooden door and made no sound. After being rejected, 'Li Xuan' couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said to himself: "What a rude woman!" After thinking about it, he walked away with a flutter of sleeves. After walking a few steps, he heard the woman's voice coming from the room behind him again. : "I advise you not to rush on the road at night, and be careful to catch the Huangquan Road!" The voice was gloomy, especially in such a wilderness, which made people tremble after hearing it. As soon as the voice stopped, the lights went out silently. "What do you mean by this? Why does it sound like a warning! Forget it, I'll just take it as a kind warning from you!" 'Li Xuan' thought to himself, and then he took big steps and headed in the direction that the woman was pointing. go. In fact, the moment he saw the woman just now, his powerful spiritual mind had already taken a good look at the mountain woman. There was nothing suspicious about her. Moreover, he had never really wanted to find water to drink, so he didn't want to go to her. The woman's indifference didn't bother her much. Continuing to walk forward in this way, after passing several mountain cols, after a while, I saw a large mountain not far ahead. It was different from what I had seen before. The trees on this mountain were lush and green, and the mountain was shaped like a tiger. It just stood in front of Li Xuan 7, carrying Looking around, I saw dead branches and yellow leaves in the woods under the dim twilight, showing a mysterious and desolate color. Because the mountain is high and the road is steep, and "Li Xuan" also deliberately slowed down his pace, by the time he reached the top of the mountain, the sun had been completely submerged in the sky. Looking around, he saw a willow forest not far from the bottom of the mountain, with a lack of wind. Then, the branches swayed like a girl dancing lightly, and I thought: "It seems that woman didn't lie to me!" By the time he came down the mountain, it was completely dark, with only a glimmer of light from the moon peeking through the clouds. Although there was moonlight, due to the strong wind and deep clouds, only a small amount of light shone through the stratus clouds and cast down. Even the trees on the mountain could not be distinguished clearly, let alone the direction of east, west, north, and south. It gives people the feeling that when you raise your head, the stars and the moon are dim, and when you look sideways, you can see the dense trees and deep mountains. What's even worse is that when you listen from a distance, you can only hear the sounds of foxes howling, wolves, and strange birds chirping into your ears. There was also a mournful and shrill sound that I had never heard before. However, these did not bring much trouble to 'Li Xuan'. To him, there was no difference whether there was light or not. He was not in a hurry at the moment. After savoring the scenery of the mountains and forests, he walked towards the willow forest. . When he got to the forest, 'Li Xuan' saw clearly: It was surrounded by hills, with an open space the size of a football field in the middle. Looking around, he saw countless willow trees scattered among them. Under the pale moonlight, each one contained smoke and made the moon shine. The dew is carried in the wind, and thousands of strands are scattered among the weeds and hazelnuts."It's a unique scenery," Li Xuanqi couldn't help but secretly praise it, and continued to walk in. After a while, he arrived at the center of the willow forest. As expected, there was a peach tree here, but he saw that it was covered with yellow skin and lush branches and leaves, occupying a lot of space. There is a large space with a clear spring flowing under it. "That woman turns out to be a believer!" Li Xuan said to himself, and when he was about to leave, suddenly a gust of wind blew up from the ground, blowing sand and rocks, and the stars and moon were dimmed; in the distance, dozens of phosphorus fires flickered. , far and near, high and low, crowded and coming and going; all you can see are red and green, giving people a refreshing feeling. As soon as the gloomy wind blew up, 'Li Xuan' immediately noticed the gloomy atmosphere, which was entangled in the willow forest like a spider web. He thought to himself, "It seems that this willow forest is not a place of kindness. I will Let's see what happens next!" He didn't panic at the moment. He just pointed at the ground with his hand, and a two-foot purple circle appeared. He took two steps forward, stood in the middle, and looked around at leisurely. The phosphorus fire slowly moved closer to him. Strange to say, as soon as he stood in this circle, the scenes of wind and clouds and broken branches and willows disappeared one after another. Except for the phosphorus fire that kept closing in around him, it still looked like a moonlit scene with smoke in the willow forest. As soon as 'Li Xuan' stood in the circle, he heard a scream, and the phosphorus fire seemed to be stimulated. Suddenly, as if it had received an order, 'Li Xuan' was packed up tightly, and it started to chirp. He screamed wildly, but he didn't dare to enter the purple circle of light. For a moment, 'Li Xuan' felt the phosphorus fire flying in front of his eyes, moving back and forth around him like a juggler. Against the moonlight above his head, it was a unique scene! Unconsciously, he began to appreciate this midnight will-o'-the-wisp! Just when Li Xuanqi had some free time, he heard another sharp whistle. He looked for the sound and saw not far away, a ball of phosphorus fire about four feet high floating in the air three feet above the ground. Layers of green light rippled, the light was dim. 'Li Xuan' swept through his mind and understood in his mind that from the Yin Qi, which was much purer than all the phosphorus fires and the size of one size larger, this ball of phosphorus fire should be the leader of all the fires; look at this ball of phosphorus fire Phosphorus fire, a thought suddenly appeared in Li Xuan's mind, and a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. After the screams, a group of phosphorus fires still only circled around 'Li Xuan' and did not dare to come near. Seeing this scene, the big group of phosphorus fires seemed to be angry, and it floated behind the phosphorus fires, with green flames all over its body, and then There was a sharp roar, and the phosphorus fire that was originally relatively peaceful seemed to be stimulated by something. It suddenly boiled, screamed strangely, and rushed towards Li Xuan 7. It seemed that people could still feel it. A feeling of death. Seeing this scene, 'Li Xuan' couldn't help but frown, his playful mood disappeared, and he shouted coldly: "Where did the wandering ghost dare to be so presumptuous in front of the Taoist Master?" After saying that, he pinched it casually. When he raised his hand, he saw purple light pulsing in his palm, and the red light was like electricity. He turned it outward again, and a bolt of electric light was emitted. In an instant, the purple light flashed, like an earthquake and a landslide. After a loud rumble, Seeing the black mist in the sky and the golden light everywhere, those phosphorus fire souls were scattered and were destroyed by a lightning strike from the palm of 'Li Xuan'. Only the slightly larger ball of phosphorus fire was unscathed by 'Li Xuan 7's deliberate release of water. . The phosphorus fire seemed to be shocked by the scene in front of him. After half a minute, it let out a strange whistle and flew towards the forest. I saw that the phosphorus fire was as powerful as lightning, and it was about to come out of the willow forest, but how could 'Li Xuan' let it escape? He took one step out of the purple circle, raised his hand to grab, and saw that the phosphorus fire that was flying away suddenly stopped in the middle. Amidst the flying green fire, a shrill whistle came out, as if it was struggling. . 'Li Xuan' took his hand away again, and the ball of phosphorus fire flew backwards, turned around and arrived in front of 'Li Xuan', fell to the ground and rolled, turning into a handsome young man, kneeling on the ground. , begging for mercy. "It actually solidified! This is even better!" Looking at the man on the ground, 'Li Xuan' had a glint in his eyes. He opened his mouth and was about to speak when he saw the howling wind in the distance and another ball of phosphorus fire flying from the green ground. The size was about the same as that of the man on the ground. Before the fire reached him, an anxious female voice was heard: "Taoist priest, don't hurt my brother, or you will be dead!" Hearing the sound, "Li Xuan' couldn't help but shook his head and said to himself: "It seems that women are big-breasted and brainless. They don't even know that this powerful person has been subdued by me, and they dare to say harsh words over there!" After thinking about it, he saw that the phosphorus fire was approaching Liu. Lin waited until she was close to him before he pointed with his hand, chanted the mantra in his mouth, and shouted "fall", and the ball of phosphorus fire met the same fate as his man, falling to the ground and turning into a woman. "It's you!" Looking at the woman on the ground, 'Li Xuan' was slightly surprised. He recognized that this was the woman in the wooden house just now, but he had clearly used his spiritual sense to detect it before, so why was he fooled by him? What about the past? It is said that under the guidance of the Qi machine, for him who has reached the Qi transformation stage, all the fiveMost of the ecstasy's energy cannot escape his divine eyes, unless her cultivation level is too much higher than his, or there is some magic weapon to cover it up, and the cultivation level of the woman in front of me is obviously too far from his own, probably even higher than Xuan Jizi's Not much. While 'Li Xuan' was thinking, he saw the woman's eyes flashing with green light, like lanterns in the dark night. She suddenly screamed strangely, her fingernails grew long, and she jumped up to catch 'Li Xuan'. The man wanted to It's too late to stop it. "It seems that you don't know my methods if I don't give you some clues!" After Li Xuan finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and patted his waist, and a little yellow light floated out from the purple-green gourd. It turned into a huge earth-yellow net, covering the woman in it before she could get close to him. Then it was suddenly closed, and screams could be heard. This net was also strange. As soon as it caught the woman, it automatically shrank. Clumps of green grass began to grow slowly at the wrong junctions of the yellow lines. They grew faster and faster. In the blink of an eye, they were three feet tall. And the roots seemed to have spiritual power: they penetrated deeply into the woman's skin. This scene was so weird that people couldn't help but feel creepy after watching it. It is said that the ghost is originally a breath of resentment, which is condensed by the haze. The gathering and dispersing depend on one mind. If it disperses invisible at this time, it can be freed from the bondage. But the strange thing is that no matter how the female ghost changes, she can never escape. Open the net, and this female ghost is also an entity like the male ghost. She is no different from ordinary people, so she has the same number of senses that humans have. (To be continued)
