【Cang Qiao】Bodhi

Cang Yue's Guming's monster power disappeared after pushing Qiao Rulai away, and Qiao Rulai fell into a thick bush, but his heart remained in the scene just now.

One hand, one eye, one heart.

He was keenly aware of all the uneasiness in his heart, and he still did not forget to take good care of him at the most dangerous moment, and even devoted all his energy to explaining his confession to him.He opened his heart to him, and the heartfelt, deep love was full of him.

But because of the few words of the gray-robed monk, he became suspicious, which caused him to come to the rescue alone, caused him to be trapped in the gate of the earth, and made his life and death uncertain, and his safety unknown.

What swept from the bottom of my heart was boundless self-loathing and guilt. Qiao Rulai sat kneeling among the grass leaves, her mind was stunned, her thoughts were messed up for a while, and she didn't know what to do or what to do next.

He still couldn't recover from the shock and sadness just now.Doubt, uneasiness, gain, and loss all happened in an instant, and people were caught off guard. Qiao Tathagata was almost comforted by Cang Yue Guming and lost her at the same time.

He knew in his heart that he should go back to Zhengqi Villa immediately to inform everyone about the abnormality of the bell at the gate, and he also knew that he should try his best to inform Tie Xiqiuyi and Feng Xiaoyao what happened tonight so that they could deal with it earlier.

His intellect and his emotions knew what to do.Qiao Rulai knew in his heart that he could save Cang Yue Guming from the gate of the earth only by regrouping and doing what he should do.

Qiao Rulai closed her eyes forcefully, suppressed the weakness and uneasiness that filled her heart one by one, supported her with both hands, and stood up.

He took a few steps forward, but raised his hand, carefully watching the only two bodhi seeds left on his wrist, his mind was slightly concentrated, as if thinking of something.

The night wind brought up her long hair, Qiao Rulai raised her hand to hold down the messy strands of hair, covered half of her face with a monk's hat, and then took one last look at the golden pagoda in the distance against the bright moonlight, with determination and calculations in her heart. Go in the given direction.

Since you want it, then Qiao Tathagata will definitely take the bodhi son to the gate of the earth.

——At the time when the gate of the earth... was destroyed.

■

Demon world.

"What about the king?"

Tie Yu Qiuyi questioned the guards kneeling in front of him with a dark face.Feng Xiaoyao sips the wine at the side, his expression is rare dignified and serious.

Today, the demon world is in a critical period of war with the gate of the earth.Cang Yue Guming, as the master of the demon world, is not only Xi Miao's last important line of defense against the invasion of the Dimen, but also shoulders the important responsibility of reassuring the hearts of the army and the hearts of the people.In other words, as long as Cang Yue Guming is on the front line of the Chinese army, then the demon world can do its best to fight the earth gate.

But now, Cang Yue Gu Ming had disappeared.

Ask the servant, don't know.

Ask the soldiers, I don't know.

I asked the bodyguard, but he didn't know.

Tie Yu Qiuyi burst into anger, and his golden brown eyes glistened with blood, implying murderous fury.His eyes were too frightening, heavy as a mountain, sharp as a knife, and the row of guards in front of him couldn't help but fight, not knowing how to deal with it.

"Boss, it seems that they really don't know." Feng Xiaoyao shook his head, and signaled the kneeling guards to leave quickly with his eyes, while he leaned over and patted Tie Yu Qiuyi's shoulder, and continued, "No one would have thought that the king would take advantage of the change of guards, and you and I would disappear when we went to the front line to investigate. But with the king's cultivation, few people can hijack and threaten him. Why don't we think about what the king will do because of it?" I will leave the Chinese military tent."

Tie Yao Qiuyi took a look at Feng Xiaoyao, lowered his eyebrows, and suddenly thought of something: "Human world."

"Human world..." Feng Xiaoyao muttered to himself, suddenly thought of something, his eyes widened, "Could it be...!"

"Commander." Bai Ri Wuji came in from outside the tent, bowed to Tie Yu begging for clothes, and then said: "The secret sentinel came to report that someone once sensed the strong fluctuation of the king's evil spirit in an instant, but the fluctuation came in a short time. It goes too fast, and disappears before it fully perceives its position. The subordinates are worried..."

Tie Yu Qiuyi's expression changed.Feng Xiaoyao looked unbelievable, he slowly turned his head to look at Tie Yu Qiuyi, and asked: "Boss, could it be..."

"That's right." Tie Yu Qiuyi's face completely sank, "Your Majesty used the technique of instant travel."

Tie Yu Qiuyi glanced at Feng Xiaoyao and Bai Ri Wu Tie, pondered for a moment, then raised his hand to pick up the cloak that was draped aside, and ordered:

"Soldier Commander, leave this place to you and Bai Ri Wu Trace, I will return as soon as I go."

"Eh?! Boss, where are you going!"

Tie Yu Qiuyi put the hood of the cloak on his head, covering half of his cheeks, and replied:

"Human world."

In the ancient temple in the mountains, the blue lights are gradually thinning out.

In the Buddhist hall, the old monk closed his eyes in silence, and the beads in his hands were twisted regularly one by one.

At this time, there were footsteps outside the Buddhist hall, mixed with the rubbing sound of clothes brushing against the bluestone surface, from far to near.

The old monk didn't stop his movements because of this, and moved three more beads.The footsteps stopped in front of the door, and then, the old wooden door was pushed open a gap.

The creaking sound of the door hinges made the coldness of the night penetrate into the Buddhist hall together with the dew, making the dim yellow and the lingering scent of incense sticks all over the room a little lighter.A frosty white figure came under the moonlight, entered the interior of the Buddhist hall, and looked at the monk who was silently chanting in front of the Buddha statue.

The old monk exhaled a long breath, recited the last word of the sutra in his heart, then stood up from the futon, turned around slowly, and looked at the young man standing behind him.The deep wrinkles left by the years and years have not been stretched in the slightest. The old monk held the salute with one hand and called out in a deep voice:

"Pretty as you come."

Qiao Tathagata took off the hood of the monk's robe covering her head, followed her fingertips from the back of her head to her chest, followed her ear to her chest, held the salute with both hands, and replied:

"Host."

"I think it's time for you to come back." The host nodded slightly, turned around, and said, "Follow me."

After saying a word, he lifted his foot and left, as if he was sure that Qiao Tathagata would follow.

But in fact, Qiao Rulai did follow him to the temple.

Qiao Tathagata knew this road, it was the road to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.Although he was slightly surprised in his heart, it seemed to be expected, so he didn't ask any more questions, but just followed behind the host, and approached step by step the scripture pavilion that was still lit.

Inside the Sutra Pavilion, lamps are like beans, and the monk who once guided Qiao Tathagata sits alone on the futon. A string of Buddhist beads in his hand has been soaked in oil after being kneaded for a long time, and a faint light faintly glows under the light.

The sound of the door shaft turning seemed to be expected by the monk. He opened his eyes almost at the same time as the door was pushed open, looked at the two figures that appeared at the door, smiled slowly, and said:

"Bodhi son, you are here."

After finishing speaking, he clasped his hands together, bowed to the host, and said:

"You are here too."

The host also returned a salute, saying:

"it's time."

The old monk turned his eyes to Qiao Tathagata, settled for a moment, then turned his eyes back, still looking at the host, and said:

"Is this the end of the trouble?"

The host nodded:

"The cause is known, the fruit has not yet been obtained, the calamity has been accomplished, and the difficulty has come. The cause, the effect, the calamity, and the tribulation have already been accomplished."

"Amitabha," he said.

"Amitabha." He also said.

The two monks came and went, each said a sentence, and the words were so beautiful that they were not very clear.He watched the two people look at him at the same time, their old brows were full of compassion and benevolence, and he couldn't help but raised his hand and bowed.The moment Qiao Rulai lowered her eyebrows, she only felt a faint light in front of her eyes. When she looked up, she saw two monks in front of her with Buddha's light, one holding jasper wishful thinking, the other holding a precious pearl Zen staff, with stern eyebrows and solemn treasures.

His mind was shaken, his eyes widened slightly, and suddenly he felt the bodhi seed on his wrist heat up again as if drawn by the light of Buddha.Qiao Rulai suddenly understood something, clasped his hands together, and performed a solemn and upright Buddha ceremony to the two:

"Disciple Qiao Tathagata, pay homage to Puxian and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattvas."

"Bodhi son, we are entrusted by the Buddha to protect your reincarnated body, pointing to you to imprint the Dao of karma and help you to cross the difficulty of reincarnation. But..." Puxian still maintained the appearance of the abbot of the temple, and the jade in his hand moved as he wished. After a while, he shook his head lightly, "This time, the Earth Gate Buddha Tribulation was supposed to be your disaster, but the wolf demon suffered it for you."

Qiao Tathagata moved her eyes, and tightened her fingers around the white crystal Buddha beads.He suppressed the bitter emotions surging up in his heart, calmed down, and asked:

"Dimen knew that his disciple was the reincarnation of Bodhi, and tried his best to lure him to the pagoda. He also used bells and words to encourage him to achieve the goal of getting him to follow him to the Golden Light Pagoda voluntarily. Naturally, it was because Qiao Tathagata is the Bodhi child, and the Dimen covets the Bodhi child."

"Although Qiao Tathagata doesn't know what the bodhi seed is for the gate of the earth, but if the gate of the earth is so eager to lure the bodhi seed, it means that the bodhi seed is extremely important to the gate of the earth."

"If Qiao Tathagata, who is the reincarnation of the bodhi child, takes the initiative to attack, what about the gate of the earth?"

"The expansion of the earth gate will endanger the human world; if the demon world loses its master, chaos will emerge. Whether it is public or private, Qiao Tathagata will do its best to prevent this earth gate Buddha calamity."

"The two of you guided me down the mountain to experience the situation before, so you should also know the power of Bodhisattva and why the gate of the earth is obsessed with it. Just now the Bodhisattva said that the two of you were entrusted by the Buddha to help the Tathagata overcome this catastrophe. Then, you must be aware of the occurrence of this catastrophe, and you must also know the key to solving it."

"So, I also ask the Bodhisattva to guide my disciples..."

The Buddha bead in Qiao Rulai's hand made a crisp sound.He raised his eyes from the dim light, with unbreakable firmness and determination in his eyes:

"This difficulty, how to overcome?"

The voice of the voice clanged to the ground, reverberating in the Sutra Pavilion, the lingering sound lingered, and the final sound trembled.His expression was serious, his words were decisive, the corners of his brows and mouth were stained with the sanctity and solemnity of the ancient scrolls of the Buddhist temple, but his tone was not as respectful and humble as his expression, but instead had a sharp and aggressive taste.

The two Bodhisattvas saw the shadow of the arrogant and arrogant Lord of the wolf clan from the face of the pretty Tathagata for a moment, but they were not surprised, but showed a warm and amiable expression.Dizang straightened the staff in his hand, and spoke slowly, his voice was no longer old and hoarse, but had a gentle and steady voice like a warm jade bell:

"The key here is..."

■

Inside Zhengqi Villa.

A family member came to report that a person asked to see Shi Yanwen.This person was wearing a long hood, his face was half-hidden, his words were vague, he didn't express his intention of coming, he only said that he was Shi Yanwen's old friend, and he needed to discuss something with Shi Yanwen in detail.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yanwen asked his servant to invite him into the study, and after he made arrangements for investigating the pagoda, he hurried to the study.

Shi Yanwen pushed open the door, and saw a tall and tall person standing with his back facing him, so he felt somewhat familiar.After he closed the door, he heard the slight sound of cloth rubbing behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw the person slowly taking off the hood, the black material brushed across the forehead, and a small piece fell. Streamlined shadows.

"You are..." Shi Yanwen opened her sky blue eyes slightly, looking at the person in disbelief.

"Shi Yanwen, it's been a long time." The man took off his burqa completely, revealing his red armor.He slightly cupped his hands towards Shi Yanwen, and then said: "I came here this time to discuss with Shi Junzi about the Dimen."

The sun shines into the room through the flower window, hitting the golden brown braids of the visitor.The man's tone was serious and his expression was correct. He looked at Shi Yanwen with eyes of the same color as his hair, seemed to be probing, and said with certainty:

"Tie Yu begging for clothes, as the commander of the iron army of Ximiao in the demon world, come to discuss with Shi Junzi..."

"—A matter of the coalition forces."

"Allied forces..." Shi Yanwen moved her eyes, sat on the seat with her robes half lifted, and raised her hand to signal Tie Yu Qiuyi to sit on the opponent, "Yanwen doesn't know yet, the commander is actually from the demon world."

"It was a last resort to conceal it before. I don't think Mr. Shi will blame you for being rude." After sitting down, Tie Yu Qiuyi put his hands around his chest, turned his head, and looked at Shi Yanwen: "The matter of the coalition forces, Mr. Shi agrees." how?"

Shi Yanwen didn't answer immediately.He thought for a moment, then asked back: "Why did Commander Xi Miao of the demon world suddenly come here to propose the coalition?"

"There are three reasons."

"First, a common enemy. Both the demon world and the human world are invaded by the gate of the earth. In both worlds, innocent people have fallen into the gate of the earth and are missing. There is a common enemy in the world. There is a common enemy, and there is the same goal, and the coalition forces help each other, which is only more beneficial than individual combat, and it is not harmful to the current situation of the human world."

"Second, information exchange. The demon world is first affected by the gate of the earth, and the Iron Army Guard has its own intelligence system to investigate the gate of the earth for a long time; while the human world has people who have returned from the gate of the earth. One is detailed, the other is new, people, The joint march of the demon world and the exchange of information in hand will be of great help in resisting the invasion of the earth gate, and even conquering the earth gate."

"Thirdly, the owner of the demon world was lost. When the king was not in the demon world, the assistant prince Qianxue Guming fell into the gate first, so we said goodbye in a hurry before. Now, the king has also disappeared. The demon world is now without a master, and the hearts of the army and the people Everyone is uneasy, if the gate of the earth launches a large-scale attack, the demon world has no intention and will not be able to contend with it with all its strength. If the demon world falls, how can the human world be alone?"

"So..." Tie Yu Qiuyi's eyes flickered, and he looked straight into Shi Yanwen's eyes, "Tie Yu Qiuyi came here specially to discuss with Shi Junzi that the two worlds join forces to fight against the disaster of the gate of heaven."

Shi Yanwen met Tie Yu Qiuyi's gaze, and suddenly showed a gentle and refined smile.He closed his eyes slightly, laughed softly, then raised his eyes to look at Tie Xi Qiuyi, and said with a smile:

"The army commander is so blunt about the current situation of the demon world, isn't he afraid that Yanwen will make a fuss about it? The army commander needs to know that although the human and demon worlds have lived in peace for many years, the human world is still very jealous of the demon world. How could the army commander not know Yanwen? Will you take advantage of this to completely eliminate the hidden dangers of the demon world?"

"The demon world has heard of Shi Junzi's reputation as a Confucian chivalrous man in Yunzhou. He cares about the world and cares for the common people. Shi Junzi is an upright man, so he would not do such a detrimental thing." Seeing Shi Yanwen's expression, Tie Yuqiuyi knew that the other party had accepted the coalition army's proposal , to the other party's question, he naturally answered with confidence, "For the human world, if the demon world is a hidden danger, then the disaster of the earth gate is a clear worry. Bright worry and hidden danger, which is urgent and slow, which is more important Heavy, Shi Junzi will weigh it himself."

"Furthermore..." Tie Yuqiuyi loosened his arms around his chest, clasped his palms on the carved armrests of the seat, rubbed them lightly, and said: "This matter is over, the relationship between the two worlds will continue to be peaceful, or will it be better?" Further, it is unknown."

Shi Yanwen's eyes moved, but he didn't continue to ask questions.Although he has doubts in his heart, he also knows that the matter of the gate of the earth is still the top priority at present, and it is inconvenient to add more details.And at the moment when Shi Yanwen's thoughts changed, he heard Tie Yu Qiuyi ask again:

"I don't know where Qiao Tathagata is now?"

"Faithful?" Shi Yanwen didn't seem to expect that the other party would suddenly mention Qiao Tathagata, and his reaction was delayed for a while.Then he remembered the letter that Qiao Rulai left in the room, thought for a while, and then said again:

"Loyal to him..."

■

"Pretty as you come."

The giant wolf was against the light, and its brown-red fur was slightly red like flames.It flicked its brown wolf tail, and sat gracefully on the cliff. The white hair on the tips of its ears showed the light color of morning glow in the twilight morning light, and its eyes were dark blue like a sinking pool without fluctuation. , deep and dark, people can't see half of the expression inside.The pair of blue eyes looked at the young man in white with interest and scrutiny, with a teasing expression and a frivolous tone:

"It's been a long time. It's just that I didn't expect that it wasn't Xiao Canglang who came to look for Xiao Wang, but... you."

"Qiao Tathagata never thought that the rumored King Dongmiao, who was seriously wounded and fled, would hide in the human world." Qiao Tathagata smiled slightly, and the black-rimmed monk's hat on her head was stirred by the morning wind, and the frosty hair was blown up, sweeping away. On the brows above the forehead, the golden pupils meet the rays of the sun, shining brightly.With his fingertips, he moved slowly and regularly a string of white crystal beads. The beads were clear and translucent, and a streamer of colorful luster came out from each strike.

Qiao Tathagata took a step forward, met the giant wolf's eyes, and said:

"Since King Dongmiao knows that someone will come to look for it, it seems that you already know that Qiao Tathagata is here, so why?"

He didn't give the other party a chance to interface. Instead, he took a step forward and continued:

"Qiao Tathagata was indeed guided by the nobleman and came to look for King Dongmiao. This situation is also caused by the karma of Buddha. I just don't know how King Dongmiao will repay the favor he owed earlier?"

His tone was rare and sly, and his expression was like mocking the other party.Jingri Guming lay quietly in the same place, only to feel that the young man of the human race in front of him was no longer the same as when he first met him. With his clever words and sly eyes, he looked exactly like the most intelligent and intelligent fox of the Yaozu.

How could there be such a big change?

Jingri Guming understood the mystery in an instant, he didn't answer the words, still looking at the young man approaching in front of him.Qiao Tathagata did as he thought, took another step forward and said:

"According to Qiao Tathagata's opinion, it's better for King Dongmiao to help Qiao Tathagata break through the gate of the earth, so as to repay this kindness. I don't know that King Dongmiao..."

"—how did you feel?"

Qiao Rulai looked at Jingri Guming's blue wolf eyes, with an unknown, gentle and polite smile on his lips.
