The matter eventually came to nothing.
In response to Jianchou's last question, Fu Chaosheng only used the word "yes" to decide Kun's fate. In the following period of time, this poor hairpin would probably never have a chance to "turn over".
Zuo Liu, who was forcibly determined to have "seen it wrong", did not dare to speak in front of these two big guys.
To be honest, although he felt that he was not mistaken, but seeing the attitude of Senior Sister Chou and Fu Chaosheng, if he dared to refute them without any tact, he would be beaten up before dark.
cough.
Well, the truth is small matter, life is big matter.
So, after hesitating for a while, he finally wisely shut up.
But Jianchou knew from his expression that he had just kept his mouth shut and did not really believe in his heart that he was not mistaken, and he suddenly felt helpless.
What can she do
Is it possible to cleanse Zuo Liu's memory
It's impossible. We can only hope that this "Brother Kun" can be more reliable in the days to come.
He forced himself to suppress his hidden worries and said, "Let's go in and take a look at the residence together. Just like what the headmaster said, there are all kinds of people in Xinghai nowadays, so we still have to be careful on weekdays."
"yes."
Zuo Liu and Fang Xiaoxie both agreed, and then followed Jianchou's instructions and went in to look for accommodation.
The monks were not that picky about the place. A cushion to meditate was enough for them, so they did not spend much time on where to live. They just picked one at random and settled down.
From east to west, they are Fang Xiaoxie, Zuo Liu, Fu Chaosheng, and Jianchou.
Among them, Jianchou's courtyard is the closest to the edge, and there is a door next to it that leads to the main street of Suixian City.
She took a rough look around the house, set up all the spirit gathering and defense formations she usually used inside, then walked out and casually went out through the back door to take a look.
Behind the door is an alley, and outside the alley is the street.
Originally, it was the place on the Nineteen Continents that was most similar to an isolated island on earth. In Jianchou's opinion, the layout of this place was similar to the capital of Daxia.
People stood in the alley, with only a few feet of sunlight shining down from above.
She was a little dazed for a moment, until she looked up and saw the sky above her head, then she came back to her senses: this was not Daxia, nor was it the capital, nor was it the former Marquis Xie Mansion.
The capital of Daxia would never have such a gloomy sky that would never be cleared of gloom.
He laughed for some inexplicable reason, then raised his foot and wanted to go back.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a faint voice came from the other end of the alley: "There is a street behind us. This place is not far from where other sects have settled. It is a very suitable place. If anything happens later, we can take care of it..."
The voice sounded familiar, it was Wang Que.
Jianchou's footsteps suddenly stopped.
The Wang on the other side was talking to Wu Duan. At this time, the voice suddenly stopped. The man standing at the other end of the alley saw Jianchou standing on this side at a glance and was a little surprised.
But when he looked up at the next door, he understood everything.
"See you, Daoist friend."
He walked up with a smile on his face. Although the paleness had not disappeared, his complexion looked much better.
"I didn't expect to see you here again. It seems that the place chosen by Yashan is also here?"
It has to be said that there are some similarities in the way famous families and big sects think about doing things.
Yashan and Kunwu almost unanimously chose a location very close to other sects, firstly for the convenience of movement, and secondly to be able to be prepared to arrive in time if anything happened.
But there are not many such suitable places, so the two doors naturally bumped into each other by chance.
Jianchou was actually a little surprised. She glanced at Wang Que and Wu Duan, and said with a smile, "It is indeed here. It seems that Kunwu has also been settled."
"Yes, now we just have to wait for Master and Junior Brother Xie to arrive."
However, Wang didn't mind what happened earlier in the teleportation square. He behaved like a gentleman and smiled as usual when talking to Jianchou.
It is really hard to feel any disgust towards such a person.
Jianchou felt a little complicated.
She hadn't actually thought of how to respond yet, but a cold snort suddenly rang out beside her ear: "That's right, it's just him and Master!"
It’s Wu Duan.
He was wearing a white robe, with his arms folded, and the White Bone Dragon Sword was in his arms. The hilt was faintly visible, which emphasized his sharpness as a sword cultivator.
But none of this could compare to the irony hidden in his words just now.
Wu Duan has always disliked Xie Buchen.
Jianchou has always been very clear about this, but as Wang Que is Wu Duan's junior brother, how could he not understand it
Just this...
Wang was somewhat helpless, frowned and sighed: "Brother Wu..."
Wu Duan glanced at him and said nothing.
Compared with the relatively peaceful sect relations among the disciples of Yashan, there is a feeling of sparks flying between the several true disciples of Kunwu Hengxu Zhenren.
This was not the first time that Jianchou had seen such a scene.
She pretended not to hear and asked with a smile: "Come to think of it, when Daoist Xie and I parted ways in Zen Buddhism, he had already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. I was wondering why he hadn't made a breakthrough. Now he is still in Kunwu, and Master Hengxu is also in Kunwu. Could it be that he is preparing to make a breakthrough and pass the Heart Tribulation?"
Who doesn’t know by now that Jianchou and Xie Buchen have a terrible relationship
He is clearly the kind of person who can smile and pretend to be nice, but the next moment he wants to kill the other person.
Wang was not unaware of this matter. Even if he knew something, given his cautious and upright character, he would not say anything in front of Jianchou.
Therefore, he just smiled back and said, "I am not very clear about this, Wang."
Oh, isn't it clear
How could Jianchou not see through Wang Que's thoughts? She didn't care that it was obviously a perfunctory response of "I don't want to tell you". The smile on her lips didn't change. She turned her head and looked at Wu Duan.
"Fellow Daoist Wang Que doesn't know, but does fellow Daoist Wu Duan know?"
Wu Duan was very cooperative, and he didn't even bother to think about it, and said directly: "Daoyou Jianchou is very good at predicting things. Junior Brother Xie is indeed going to pass the Heart Tribulation, and I heard that he encountered some troubles, so Master had no choice but to stay and solve it."
"… "
Wang was suddenly speechless, and the feeling at that moment became extremely difficult to describe!
Jianchou couldn't help laughing out loud.
Wu Duan didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt, and apparently didn't think there was anything wrong with talking about this kind of thing. Or maybe he had never liked this junior brother Xie, who was treated specially in every aspect of the sect
What about the Daozi who can save Kunwu from the catastrophe? If he doesn't like it, then he doesn't like it.
Wang, however, is a person who can consider the overall interests of Kunwu, who can endure, give in, and take things into consideration; Wu Duan considers himself a qualified Kunwu disciple, but sometimes he feels that he is more "independent".
If one day he was asked to fight and die for Kunwu's survival, he would not even frown.
But this does not mean that he has to agree with every decision made by Kunwu and every fellow disciple from the bottom of his heart.
Jianchou knew that Wu Duan and Qu Zhengfeng had a friendship, and although the two had fought each other near Daming Reef in the West Sea, she had later heard Qu Zhengfeng's evaluation that Wu Duan was one of the few rare people in Kunwu who was worth making friends with.
Now that I think about it, this is really true.
She had a smile on her lips, but her mind was a little far away. She said thoughtfully, "I heard that Fellow Daoist Xie is a Taoist who is favored by heaven. He doesn't need to go through tribulations to advance in his cultivation realm. Moreover, he has a firm mind and should not take even the tribulations of the heart seriously. But now even Master Hengxu is stuck because of this. This Fellow Daoist Xie of your sect is really curious..."
What on earth had happened that could make this "son of Tao" and the Taoist master Hengxu, who had a very high level of cultivation, stay in Kunwu on such an important day
Not only Jianchou, but the entire galaxy is guessing.
It’s just that some people’s guesses are reliable, and have been personally confirmed by Master Kunwu; while some people’s guesses are so far off the mark that they are really unconvincing.
Of course, the people who know this matter best are Zhenren Hengxu and Xie Buchen himself, who are still in Kunwu.
Kunwu, back mountain.
It is mid-spring and the weather has been warming up for a long time. The bleak feeling in the mountains has long disappeared, and the eleven peaks of Kunwu are all surrounded by fresh green.
A mountain path behind the main peak leads to the deep valley at the back.
In the deep valley is a pine forest.
A clear stream flew down from the mountain and crashed into a deep pool below, splashing loudly. There was a simple thatched house beside the pool, facing the largest black stone in the center of the pool.
At this moment Hengxu was standing in front of the thatched cottage, while Xie Buchen was sitting cross-legged on the huge black stone in the center.
The sky was bright, but it became dim here; the chirping of birds disappeared as they approached the pond.
It seemed as if everything had disappeared between heaven and earth.
But whether it was Hengxu or Xie Buchen, they could clearly feel that there was a breath, a certain existence, hovering above the deep valley and pool, as if waiting for the right time to descend.
The wind blew, and the sleeves of Xie Buchen's clothes that hung on the stone were gently lifted up, but his body seemed to be grown together with the black stone beneath him, and did not move at all.
His hands rested on his knees, forming a seal to purify his mind and abstain from desires.
After the spiritual energy circulated through a large circle in his body, he finally slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhenren Hengxu who had been standing quietly by the pond for a long time.
Smart people often don't need to communicate too much with each other.
Hengxu has always been a smart man.
Xie Buchen is no exception.
Just by looking at it, Zhenren Hengxu knew that he was ready. At this moment, he just flicked the whisk in his hand, frowned slightly and looked at the sky above his head.
"Success or failure depends on today..."
He never imagined that there would come a day when he would have to worry about the tribulations of his disciples.
It was clear that he was the Taoist chosen by him, the hope of Kunwu, and the genius who could save Kunwu for a hundred years. However, his cultivation journey over the past eighty years was full of twists and turns.
Now that he has finally reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, he is still trapped by his inner demons.
Is this the one who will survive the tribulation as predicted by the Zhoutian Star Array and who will replace him one day
The dim light from the sky reflected in the eyes of Master Hengxu, creating an unfathomable look. After a long time, he lowered his head, and there seemed to be a hint of regret in his words.
"Originally I asked you to go to the Snow Region just for the Jiuyi Cauldron."
"But I had planned everything, but I didn't expect that the girl from Yashan would also go there, and accidentally fell into the mustard seed with you. Not to mention that you made wedding clothes for others and helped her to fulfill her fate, the long days of facing each other have aggravated your already serious inner demons..."
"Time, fate?"
Time, fate
If other people heard what Zhenren Hengxu said, they would probably be moved by everything he had planned for Kunwu and by the genuine regret and sigh in his words. However, to Xie Buchen's ears, it was cast a heavy shadow of uncertainty.
Master Hengxu, who thinks twice before doing anything and plans three steps ahead, really didn't he expect this
It was understandable that he couldn't predict the matter of the Sumeru mustard seed; but he knew Fudaoshan and Yashan so well, how could he not know that Jianchou would definitely go to the Snow Region
He asked himself whether there was any master-disciple relationship between him and Hengxu.
From the beginning, Hengxu accepted him as his apprentice because of his talent and because of the Kunwu catastrophe predicted by the Zhoutian Star Array. He needed such a person to resolve the catastrophe that was said to occur within a hundred years.
All the careful cultivation and attention, in the final analysis, comes down to the word "benefit".
If it weren't for the secret of such a great calamity, Xie Buchen believed that Hengxu would never accept him as a disciple, even though his talent was indeed far beyond that of ordinary people.
Simply because he didn't need a more thoughtful and considerate apprentice than him.
Therefore, when he was in the mustard seed on Mount Sumeru, every time he saw Jianchou, he would always think about the question that he had actually been thinking about all along: Hengxu, can it be believed
But I haven't come up with a definite answer yet.
Until he escaped using the puppet transformation technique and returned to Kunwu to see Hengxu again.
Everything came together at that moment, and Xie Buchen finally remembered many details that he had not noticed before, or had noticed but not thought about deeply.
Hence, today comes into being.
No one else would know except himself.
He neither needs the Jiuyi Cauldron nor is he afraid of any inner demons.
The Jiuyi Cauldron was prepared for overcoming tribulations, but he was a Taoist, and he did not need to overcoming tribulations to advance to a higher realm. Although the inner demon existed, it was just an existence that could make him suffer because of its contradictions, but it could not disturb any of his will.
Even though the Dao Tribulation of the Heart is no better than the ordinary Thunder Tribulation and cannot be avoided, there is no way he cannot survive it.
But what’s interesting is that most cultivators in the world believe that inner demons will have an impact on cultivators, especially the tribulation of self-examination, and Hengxu is no exception.
So he used the same trick against him.
He simply told Hengxu that he had lived with Jianchou day and night for five hundred years, and that Jianchou had a deep inner demon that could not be suppressed by his cultivation at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. He was afraid that he could not bear the consequences, so he asked Hengxu for help.
Kunwu still has a great catastrophe that has not yet occurred in a hundred years. How can he sit idly by and watch him die in the catastrophe
As a powerful being with a bound, and a great master of the Central Region Kunwu, Hengxu must have many tricks up his sleeve. If he can do what he wants, and help him get through this Dao calamity safely, thus avoiding the question from the Heavenly Dao...
That would be great.
Although he had never been afraid of the Dao Tribulation, and even less did he think that he would fail to overcome his conscience, during the five hundred years that he and Jianchou were trapped in the mustard seed of Mount Sumeru, a certain feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger as his cultivation level improved.
It was as if she was hiding something, and that something was important to him.
It was a mysterious attraction.
But until he left Zen Buddhism, he still hadn't figured out what this thing was. The only thing he had was a strange premonition: if he got this thing, everything would change dramatically.
Including his "Tao".
This is the fundamental reason why Xie Buchen is unwilling to face the Dao calamity.
Because once you are about to pass the heart calamity, you must declare your "Tao" to the world, to the heaven and earth, and to the heavenly way. And from then on, this "Tao" is the fundamental way for future cultivation. Even if you cultivate thousands of other ways, you cannot change it, let alone erase it.
But he, who had not yet obtained this thing, was unwilling to explain it to the heavens for the time being.
In other words, he must survive today's catastrophe, but he will never answer any questions from the Heaven!
The wind suddenly became stronger.
The dark surface of the deep pool was rippling with it, creating layer upon layer of shallow ripples, and also made the reflection of Xie Buchen sitting on the water surface become zigzag, as if it was mixed with the water waves, making it difficult to distinguish its shape.
He did not respond to Master Hengxu's words, but just held on to the original and kept his unity, letting go of all his cultivation, and revealing his boundless ambition to the world...
"sensation!"
Some kind of existence that was hovering faintly above the valley almost instantly smelled the emanating breath and swooped down towards the center of the deep pool!
The rolling thunder, like an angry roar, shook the entire Kunwu.
In the sky, a huge golden vortex quickly formed.
That dazzling brilliance can be seen clearly even in the distant sea of stars!
Jianchou, Wang Que and Wu Duan asked about the current situation at Dongji Guimen and were about to return to their residence, but when they looked up at this moment, they saw the golden vortex.
Familiar smell, different colors.
This time, the vortex of catastrophe comes from Kunwu!
Wang Que and Wu Duan were both stunned for a moment, not knowing whether it was because of the timing of this calamity or the unusual golden color of this calamity.
The tribulations that most people encounter on their path are like dark clouds covering their heads.
Because Jianchou has crossed three realms and endured three calamities at the same time, his color is a terrifying deep purple, almost black.
Can…
Brilliant golden clouds surrounded the small dark patch in the center of the vortex. How did such a calamity come about
Jianchou squinted her eyes, and the golden light reflected into her eyes, almost dyeing her pupils into pale gold: "Thank you, fellow Daoist, for this tribulation. It's not ordinary."
