That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 600

The 23rd of the twelfth lunar month is a small year.

On this day, Xu Beiyou and Xiao Zhinan visited various relatives and friends, first the emperor and empress, then Han Xuan, followed by Qin Mumian and Xiao Bai, plus many other relatives of the Xiao clan, they went out from early in the morning until dusk After returning home, the tired Xiao Zhinan went to rest early, while Xu Beiyou sat alone in the study.

Today's Xu Beiyou has been thinking about one thing, how to get out of the world of mortals and get back at ease after entering the world of mortals with his body covered in mud?

Master once said that there are three realms in life, which are: the first realm, seeing mountains as mountains, and seeing water as water; the second realm, seeing mountains as not mountains, and seeing water as not water; It's still a mountain, and the water is still water.

Among them, the first level of realm can be interpreted as innocence.The second stage is to enter the world of mortals, the heart is muddy, the spiritual platform is covered with dirt, and the mind is covered with dust. Most people in the world cannot escape for life.As for the third realm, it is to return to the basics and return to the innocence. Taoism calls it a "true man", and Confucianism calls it a "gentleman". It means that any random person can be called a real person if he puts on a Taoist robe, and any pious person can be praised as a gentleman by reciting two sage articles.

Qin Mumian hopes that Xu Beiyou will be a "gentleman". Of course, he is not a gentleman of this kind of rotten street, but a "gentleman" who has returned to the heart of a child. However, Xu Beiyou is now in the quagmire, covered in mud, muddy, and can't escape in the end. Take it off, but you can't ask for it in the end.

In the past, he wanted to be a superior person, but now he is considered a superior person, so he wants to be a free person again, but how can he be free if he is burdened with a thousand weights?

There is a saying in Buddhism that there are eight sufferings in life, birth, old age, sickness, death, parting from love, resentment and hatred, not being able to ask, not being able to let go.

He couldn't let go of the sword sect entrusted to him by his master, so naturally he couldn't get away with it.

At this moment, there was a knocking sound outside the door, which interrupted Xu Beiyou's thoughts, and then Feng Lang's voice came, "Young Master, there is a visitor, Yu Guanyin."

Xu Beiyou frowned, and murmured, "Twelfth lunar month 23, there are still seven days left."

However, he did not refuse, and still decided to meet this right-hand man of Murong Xuanyin.

In the main hall, Yu Guanyin is sitting alone, and the hot tea on the right side is curling up with mist.

When Xu Beiyou stepped over the threshold, Yuguanyin looked up at him.

The eyes of the two met through the curling mist.

Xu Beiyou stopped abruptly.

Jade Guanyin's eyes became dark and deep, and the pupils of the eyes swirled like a whirlpool, as if stars were disillusioned, like a prehistoric universe.And the aura on her body suddenly became stronger. At this moment, he seemed to be the master of this world, the center of all things, the cardinal of heaven and earth. Although she was still sitting still, she looked down on Xu Beiyou like a fairy in the sky. .

Unexpectedly, Xu Beiyou's gaze was absorbed into this vortex, and he couldn't break free.

Then, the vortex grew bigger and bigger in his sight, until it was going to swallow him completely.

Xu Beiyou had only one thought left, the battle between the spirit and soul of the Zifu.

Suddenly, Xu Beiyou fell into a state of sleep and wakefulness. Suddenly, a large crabapple forest appeared in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, Haitang disappeared suddenly, and everything around became blurred, like a dream, like a dream, like reality.

When Xu Beiyou came back to his senses again, the Jade Guanyin in front of him had disappeared, and he was left in a world with clear black and white.

The sky is as black as ink, the earth is as black as charcoal, and the surroundings are as pale as paper money burned for the dead, and at the same time, there is a gloomy mist.

It seems to have come to the underworld of the underworld.

Although it was the first time for Xu Beiyou to encounter such a situation, he was not overly terrified, and he could probably guess that this was an illusion created by Yuguanyin with the spirit of the Zifu.

Then there will be a battle of spirits and souls.

He originally thought that he was in the imperial capital, with countless high-ranking people, so he didn't have to worry about anything, but he didn't expect that Yu Guanyin would deal with him in such a way.

Just then, the wind suddenly picked up.

In front of Xu Beiyou, crabapple trees appeared one after another, and one after another black crabapple blossoms bloomed on the trees. With the east wind, the flowers rained for ten miles, like a dream.

Yu Guanyin appeared under a crabapple tree without warning, and the black crabapple fell on her shoulders and disappeared.

Xu Beiyou looked at the growing number of crabapple flowers around him, looked at Jade Guanyin, and asked, "Why?"

Yu Guanyin spread her hands, one after another black crabapple swirled around her, and said simply and bluntly: "Master wants you to die."

Xu Beiyou let out an ah, no surprise or surprise, only emotion and sigh.

That Murong Xuanyin who saved him from Biyou Island and helped him kill Zhang Zhaonu is finally going to part ways with him?

Xu Beiyou already knew that this day would come, because different ways do not conspire with each other, but he did not expect this day to come so soon.

Yu Guanyin stretched out her hand to pinch a crabapple, and said softly: "This time, you and I don't care about the outcome, only life and death."

Xu Beiyou nodded and said a good word.

The next moment, there was a strong wind between the sky and the earth.

Countless crabapple flowers flew over in black, covering the entire sky, as if they were going to bury Xu Beiyou here.

The battle of spirit and soul has nothing to do with one's own energy and physique.

In the Purple Mansion, one can manifest all kinds of mysterious supernatural powers that cannot be used in the mortal world according to one's own perception.At the same time, you can also use external forces, such as the power of thousands of incense and fire, which can be regarded as the right time. At this time, Yu Guanyin dragged Xu Beiyou into her purple mansion, as if the two armies were fighting within the border, although it would be harmful to her. It is damaged, but it takes advantage of the location and the convenience of the people.Therefore, if Xu Beiyou wanted to win at this time, he could only ask for peace.

Of course, if one reaches the level of Taoist leader Qiu Ye, it doesn't matter what the right time, place and people are, as long as you spread out the scenery you see above the eighteenth floor, you can reshape a world in the Purple Mansion.It's just that this level of realm is too far away, so when the mass of black crabapple flowers flew towards him, Xu Beiyou had no choice but to avoid it.

In terms of heaven and external forces, Xu Beiyou once absorbed the sword energy and spirit of the Eight Swords of the Sword Sect. Now the sword energy is gone, but the spirit is still there.

Xu Beiyou waved his big sleeves, and eight awe-inspiring green swords completely condensed by divine intent appeared around his body.

In terms of the cultivation base of the Purple Mansion and the magical effect of the soul, Jade Guanyin has been intensively studied for more than ten years, and she is undoubtedly much better than Xu Beiyou, who has just set foot in the realm of the earth fairy. In addition, she occupies the advantage of the geographical location. If she falls into a protracted battle, Xu Beiyou will undoubtedly lose , he can only choose a quick fight.

Xu Beiyou raised his sword and formed black hair.

The eight swords staggered into formations.

Like a woman's thousands of knots.

The present world outside the Purple Mansion.

Everything in the main hall seemed to freeze.

Xu Beiyou was still standing at the door, motionless, with a look of surprise on his face.

Yu Guanyin sat on the chair with a calm expression on her face, but she closed her eyes at some point.

Feng Lang stood outside the door, unable to move an inch.

The cup of hot tea was already cold, there was no more mist rising, and even the entire main hall was too cold to be colder.
