Injury without injury!

Qi Ning really didn’t understand what Dharma King Zhuri meant.

Injury is injury, and no injury is no injury. How to explain this non-injury injury

Ximen Wuhen's expression began to become solemn, and the Dharma King slowly said: "You said that I cherish my life, so I might as well tell you that as long as I don't want to die, I will never die."

"Immortal?" Ximen Wuhen suddenly smiled and said, "Did the Dharma King achieve the true state of cultivation?"

"The road to becoming a Buddha is full of difficulties. Only by experiencing all the suffering that the world cannot bear, can you reach a state that the world cannot reach." Dharma King said: "Although this skin is made of snow and flesh, it is not flesh and blood. You don't know , to reach the realm of a Grand Master, one must die once, and every Grand Master is actually considered a dead person!"

Qi Ning and Ximen Wuhen both changed their colors slightly.

Is the Grand Master dead

"You don't understand." The Dharma King shook his head and sighed: "Since this body has already died once, how can it be harmed by poison? The poor monk knows that the god must have expended all his energy for this poison."

Ximen Wuhen nodded slightly and said: "Yes, it took me three years to extract this venom from hundreds of medicinal herbs. It is colorless and odorless, and even the top poison masters in the world cannot detect it. Once this venom enters the body, within two hours, not even the Great Luo Immortal can save him."

"The God Lord thought of using venom to kill the Grand Master, which can be regarded as another way." Fa Wang said: "If I were still in the original body, I might really fall into the God Lord's plan."

Ximen Wuhen saw that his face was still as pale as snow, his words were calm and composed, and his pupils shrank.

"Although I dealt a heavy blow to the god at the beginning, and the god has been suffering over the years, the cycle of cause and effect, if the god had not come up the mountain that year, would not have caused this disaster." The Dharma King sighed: "In fact, no matter what happened this time, Success or failure, the god has fulfilled his promise. Naturally, I will not let you return without success, and will definitely heal your wounds, but...!" He shook his head: "What the god has done, I am very disappointed. "

Ximen Wuhen's expression was solemn, but soon he opened his eyebrows and said with a smile: "The Grand Master is a Grand Master after all. No matter how much effort I put in, I am still vulnerable in front of the Grand Master."

"The injury of Shen Hou can only last for two months at most." Fa Wang said: "If Shen Hou comes down from the mountain at this time and works harder, he should be able to rush back to your Chu country. In this way, at least he will not die in a foreign land." He raised his hand and said: "Shen Hou. Waiting!"

Ximen Wuhen smiled lightly and said, "The Dharma King asked me to come down from the mountain?"

"Could it be that the God Lord still stays here?" His Holiness sighed: "The Snow Mountain is a clean place, and the top of this snow mountain is extremely holy. I don't want to see anyone die here, so the God Lord should go down the mountain. "

Ximen Wuhen shook his head and said: "My death is not far away. The Dharma King is very merciful. He just wants to help me answer my last doubt. How did you become a great master?"

The Dharma King was silent for a moment and then said: "Is this important to you?"

"I have been pursuing martial arts all my life. After a battle with the King of Dharma a few years ago, I realized the gap between the masters and the great masters in the world." Ximen Wuhen said with a bitter smile: "I have always been thinking, if there is really an unsolvable mystery in the world that is worth it Looking for the answer is the origin of the Grand Master. I have never believed that the Grand Master broke through the realm of martial arts through his own practice, because since ancient times, I have never heard of such unbelievable things."

"If you haven't heard of it, it doesn't mean you don't have it." His Holiness said, "Since the heavens don't holiday, why should the Gods search for the source? So what if they know it, and what if they don't know it?"

"As long as you are alive, there will always be obsessions in your heart." Ximen Wuhen said: "If I can't get the answer, I will die in peace."

The Dharma King nodded slightly and said: "I understand, your real purpose of coming to the Snow Mountain this time is to trace the origin of the great master."

"That's right." Ximen Wuhen said: "The five great masters each have their own things. Few people know the relationship between them, but I have spent many years of energy and finally found a clue."

"oh?"

Ximen Wuhen said: "Beigong Liancheng is obsessed with swordsmanship. He began to pursue the way of swordsmanship when he was young. To this end, he traveled all over the world to find famous masters. He challenged swordsmen from all disciplines in the world and lost more than he won. If it weren't for the fact that everyone in the world knew about this swordsman, A swordsman with mediocre qualifications who comes from the Jinyi Qi family would probably die by the swordsman's sword long ago."

The Dharma King said softly: "Pursuing one thing throughout your life can always reach an unexpected level. This is what I admire most about Bei Gong. No matter how much suffering he suffered, he never gave up on the path of pursuing the sword. .”

"As he approaches middle age, he still hasn't made any breakthroughs in the way of kendo. In fact, I also felt at that time that if Beigong wanted to make a difference in kendo in his life, it would be more difficult than reaching the sky." Ximen Wuhen suddenly coughed. , but soon stopped and continued: "I've been pretty good at seeing people all my life, but I misjudged Beigong. That year, there was suddenly no news from him. Even I don't know his whereabouts. According to rumors, He said that he went to the far west, and when Beigong appeared again two years later, he was already invincible in the way of swordsmanship and had truly seen through the peak of swordsmanship."

Qi Ning remained silent, knowing that it was not his turn to speak at this time.

The Grand Master is a mystery that is difficult to solve. Ximen Wuhen wants to find the origin of the Grand Master, and Qining doesn't want to find out the secret behind the Grand Master.

"The one from the north was also famous back then." Ximen Wuhen said: "Beitang Huanye is Chongming's biological brother, but he is much younger than Chongming, and even a few years younger than Chongming's son Beitang Huan, so At that time, he was deeply loved by Beitang Tianwei, but he was not interested in political affairs. When Chongming successfully ascended the throne, Beitang Huanye did not compete with him for the throne. This man was obsessed with chess. When he was young, he visited all the national players. He compiled [Chess] Classics], I also have a collection."

"Beitang is indeed a person who is indifferent to fame and wealth." His Holiness sighed.

Ximen Wuhen continued: "Needless to say, Beitang's chess skills are recognized as a great player, but in terms of martial arts, this person is really ordinary. The Shenhou Mansion had investigated this person back then. He was obsessed with chess. However, martial arts were abandoned, and the Northern Han Dynasty established the country with martial arts. Beitang Tianwei had very strict requirements for his children. Chongming is good at riding and shooting. Although Beitang Huanye is also good at riding and shooting, he is far from Chongming." There was a slight pause. After a pause, he continued: "But later, the Marquis of the Northern Han Dynasty who was obsessed with chess actually became a great master."

"Everything in the world is impermanent, it's just chance." Fa Wang said.

Ximen Wuhen continued: "However, according to my investigation, Beitang Huanye did something on the eve of becoming the Grand Master, which may be closely related to his later becoming the Grand Master."

"What's the matter?"

"As an envoy." Ximen Wuhen said calmly: "Or it could be said that it was a secret envoy. After the founding of the Northern Han Dynasty, they wanted to go south to dominate the world, but the northwest was not yet secure at that time. If the Northern Han Dynasty wanted to go south, they would definitely have to devote all their power to the country. Before going south, it is necessary to stabilize the four sides to avoid being caught in the fire when going south. From northwest to west, those small countries in the Western Regions did not dare to use troops against the Northern Han Dynasty, but at that time, ancient elephant people often appeared in the northwest...!"

"In ancient times, elephants have always been trading with the northwest, and the two sides have been in contact for many years." Fawang said.

Ximen Wuhen smiled and said: "The founding of the ancient elephant country was also a war in the south and north. It is said that the ancient elephant today was divided into dozens of large and small forces, and was later unified. The ancient elephant people were warlike, and that is what they are today. , and often have conflicts with the countries in the Western Regions. It is said that just a few years ago, your country annexed a country in the Western Regions. Although the King of France is on top of the snow-capped mountains, he should have known this news for a long time."

The Dharma King did not speak, but just put his hands together.

"Not only that, as far as I know, Gu Xiang is also very interested in the northwest." Ximen Wuhen said with a smile: "When the Han Dynasty conquered the northwest, it is said that Gu Xiang also wanted a share of the pie, but he did not want to directly conflict with the Northern Han Dynasty. , so they secretly funded the resistance forces in the northwest. In fact, the Northern Han Dynasty also knew it, but neither side said it. After that, the Northern Han Dynasty conquered the northwest, and the ancient elephants became much more restrained, and there was a general to suppress the west in the northwest. There are tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command, and Gu Xiang does not dare to act rashly."

Qi Ning thought that it turned out that the Ancient Elephant Man also wanted to get involved in the northwest, and the information Ximen Wuhen had should be correct.

"The Northern Han Dynasty will naturally not be afraid of the ancient elephant, but it cannot be ignored." Ximen Wuhen said: "So Beitang Tianwei secretly sent an envoy to make friends with the ancient elephant, and the person who led that envoy was actually Beitang Huanye, not many people know about this, but the Dharma King will naturally remember it."

Qi Ning was a little surprised, thinking that Beitang Huanye had actually sent an envoy to the ancient elephant back then.

"When Beitang Huanye went to the ancient elephant, it was exactly when Beigong Liancheng disappeared." Ximen Wuhen said: "It is rumored that Beigong Liancheng went to the far west. If the news is not bad, then Beigong Liancheng disappeared back then. It’s also very possible that we arrived at Ancient Elephant.”

The Dharma King's expression remained unchanged and he asked, "Even so, what does this have to do with becoming a Grand Master?"

"Dharma King, don't be anxious." Ximen Wuhen said with a smile: "I spent countless efforts to investigate these secrets. Maybe if you tell them today, you will never have another chance in the future." After a pause, he said: "Master Baiyun Island, Mo Lancang had a private transaction with His Holiness, may I ask His Holiness, do you know anything about Mo Lancang’s life experience?”

"The owner of the island is the Imperial Master of the Eastern Qi Dynasty. He lives far away at sea. I don't know if that's right?" His Holiness asked.

Ximen Wuhen smiled and said: "Of course there is nothing wrong. The master of Baiyun Island is indeed the Imperial Master of Dong Qi, and he does live on Baiyun Island in the East China Sea. However, this is his current situation. Does the Dharma King know what he was like thirty years ago? scene?"

"Then I'll give you some advice!" His Holiness was calm and calm throughout, as if he was chatting with someone about everyday things.

"Mo Lancang, the master of Baiyun Island thirty years ago, was just a slave." Ximen Wuhen said slowly: "At that time, he was kneeling at the feet of a prince of the Northern Han Dynasty. His status was low. If it weren't for the fact that he was good at chess, , has long been destroyed by ashes." He smiled slightly and said: "Others don't know, but the Dharma King should know that Mo Lancang, the master of Baiyun Island, was once just the chess slave of Beitang Huanye!"
