Overshadowing the Sky: Empress Proud of the World

Chapter 15
Beside Xuanzang Peak, there are dozens of hills, large and small.

Most of the elders live here, and some disciples who have received the true teachings also practice in it.

Today, a man dressed like a disciple flew out from Xuanzang Peak and landed on one of the bare hills.

This place is full of ruins, overgrown with weeds and knotted with spider threads.The half-broken wall was across an open space, and there was a dead tree beside it, on which a crow's nest was built, and several black young birds were chirping.

Such a desolate place seemed extremely out of place compared with the surrounding hilltops with steaming clouds and rosy clouds, and the imposing fairy spirit.

The man was born with a dignified appearance, but there was an obvious depression in his face, condensed between his brows, and he couldn't shake it off.

He dodges and disappears in place, not knowing where he went.

Ga, ga, ga.

A gust of wind blows, rolling up a few withered yellow leaves.A pitch-black crow flew by and landed on a dead tree. Its black eyes were shining brightly, adding a touch of weirdness to the place.

In the courtyard halfway up the mountain, a group of children were chattering.

I don't know who got a rumor from senior brothers and sisters that one of the several hills around Xuanzang Peak is haunted by ghosts!

Such news naturally exploded among the children, and everyone was discussing it enthusiastically.

A tiger-headed little boy with his hips on his hips, his chin knocked high, was full of arrogance:
"The head said that I have good qualifications. After I open up the Sea of ​​​​Bitterness, I will take down all the monsters and goblins!"

"Come on, Huwei, the head is kind, and he tells everyone that he has good qualifications! I think you are not Huwei, but a fox pretending to be Huwei!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

All the children laughed, and the little boy named Huwei blushed and scolded:

"What are you talking about, little Lizi! How about we make gestures?"

"Okay, come as soon as you come. When it comes to wrestling, I, Li Ying, have never been afraid of anyone!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"come on! Come on!"

Unlike the boys' section where the games are in full swing, the girls' section in the courtyard is another look.

"whispering sound."

Zhou Xi rolled his eyes as he watched the dust flying in the pile of boys, and then hugged the pink and jade-carved daughter next to him, playing with her two little croissants.

"It's still our nannie who is fragrant and soft. It looks delicious, but why do you always wear a little croissant braid? Come and let me give you a new look."

After speaking, she was about to start, and the daughter hurriedly protected her braid after hearing this.

"No, no, my daughter likes shofar braids."

This is what my brother taught her, and he only taught her how to tie her shofar braids.

In a trance, Nannan seems to have seen the way her brother plaited herself carefully in the early morning, and thought of her brother not knowing where she is now, or even knowing when she will come back, and contrasted with the excitement around her, she suddenly couldn't help but feel sad. come from.

Seeing her daughter suddenly wanting to cry, Zhou Xi hastily let go.

"Okay, okay, I won't move you, I'll make you anxious."

When Zhou Xi was in the world of mortals, she was actually the eldest daughter of a large family. It can be said that she was wealthy and wealthy.My father is a well-known wealthy businessman in the local area. Once a person has everything, he will naturally turn his attention from "quantity" to "quality".The most important thing is to continue this state, so I started to search for immortals.

The territory of the Eastern Wilderness is endless, and no matter how powerful a mortal is, it is difficult to cross even one territory.The wealthy businessman used his brains a little, and bought the local rare and rare herbs in a big way. In the end, he directly monopolized the local medicinal herb market, and then followed the vines through the middleman. He really found a way for him to send Zhou Xi to Xuanzang Peak.

Zhou Xi naturally accepted it happily. The rich businessman was away all year round. She and her mother depended on each other for life. When she was two or three years old, her mother passed away due to illness. Although she was the eldest lady in name at home, she was very lonely. The rich businessman treated her very well. , everything in silver and jewelry, after all, she is an only daughter, a wealthy businessman values ​​affection, and she never remarried, only Zhou Xi, the only child.Knowing that there is no hope of entering the fairy gate, he generously gave up the opportunity to his daughter.

Although she was pampered, Zhou Xi didn't have any temper for a young lady. The first time she saw her, she felt that she immediately fell in love with this pink and jade-carved little girl.

Nannan looks soft, glutinous, with a rosy little face and those two playful shofar braids, it really makes people want to grab it in their hands and "ravage" it fiercely.

She is often startled by her bad thoughts, but it may also be because she was mostly alone in her childhood in the mortal world, and she always wanted to have a younger sister to accompany her.

Anyway, she thought secretly, my daughter is mine, and none of you can take it away, hum.

"Stop making trouble, stop making trouble."

Lin Qian looked at the two little girls hugging each other in front of her. One was carved in pink and jade, and the other was arrogant and cute, like two sugar balls connected together.

Although Lin Qian was not from a wealthy family like Zhou Xi, she was also well-educated and well-behaved.A pair of delicate black eyebrows are dotted on the quiet face, which adds a dusty temperament to her.

She sat on the side of the two of them and said word by word:
"I heard that among the hills around Xuanzang Peak, there is a hill where not a single blade of grass grows, and you can't even see a person. Many years ago, a disciple finished his night practice, and he caught a glimpse of a Taoist figure on that hill. He flew up and took a closer look. But he found that it was a woman, very good-looking, but the woman's appearance was a bit strange, her face was lifeless, pale as paper, she didn't make any movement after seeing the disciple coming, she just stood there.

"Relying on his skill and courage, the disciple took a few steps forward to find out, but saw the woman immediately raised her head and smiled at him strangely, revealing her cold teeth, so frightened that the disciple yelled and flew up. , turned around and found that the woman was gone.

"Later, I heard that the disciple reported this matter to the deputy peak master, Elder Yunhai, but nothing was found out."

Zhou Xi gritted her teeth after hearing this, she hugged her daughter tightly, and said to Lin Qian in dissatisfaction:
"What ghost stories are you talking about in broad daylight to scare people!"

"It's not a ghost story, it's true!"

Suddenly a shiny bald head approached beside him, it was actually a little boy dressed as a little monk.

The young monk's name is Xuan Yao, and his master is an eminent monk in an ancient temple deep in the mountains.

He vowed that when his master sent him, he passed by that mountain and stared at it for a long time.

"... Yin Qi gathers here, and ghosts are prone to be born."

The little monk shook his head and repeated his master's words, but he was looking around at that time, and only this sentence impressed him the most.

"I said you little monk, if there is a ghost, you can go to save it, why even you come to join in the fun, go and go, this place does not belong to you."

Zhou Xi drove the little monk to the pile of boys.

The little monk looked at the back, the wrestling match had entered into a fierce battle, the two sides actually formed a fight, and the fight was in full swing.

This made the corner of his mouth twitch.

Pretending to be an expert, he shook his head and shook his head: "Too much desire is suffering, less desire is inaction, and the body and mind are at ease. I am not a Buddha, and neither am I."

Lin Qian looked at his small body and joked:
"Original from the innocent Buddha, liberate people in the three evil ways. If you don't enter the world of mortals and the six realms, how do you know that you are really invincible? The Buddha talks about detachment, not escape. He hides in the city, and emerges from the mud without being stained. Ripples but not monsters."

She actually has a good understanding of Buddhism, presumably she has some contact with it before.

Hearing this, the little monk thought to himself that this woman is not easy to fool around, and when he was thinking hard, his childish voice interrupted his train of thought.

"Don't tease Xuan Yao anymore, come on, my daughter will play with you."

"Wow - girl, you don't want me yet!"

Zhou Xi looked heartbroken when he heard this, and her daughter was amused when she saw this, so she took Zhou Xi's little hand to comfort her.

Zhou Xi's eyebrows were curved, she was very happy, and there was a sly light in her beautiful eyes. She called a few people together:
"I have a suggestion, why not..."

"?!"

"?!"

"?!"

"I'm not going!"

Xuan Yao was the first to shout, but then blushed, he was the only boy here, and he should have taken the lead in Zhou Xi's proposal.

Sure enough, in the next second Zhou Xi, Lin Qian, and even her daughter all showed contemptuous glances.

"Okay...Okay, but we have to wait until we open up the Sea of ​​​​Bitterness and fly."

Lin Qian and Nannan also had this intention, after all, if they didn't open up the sea of ​​suffering, they wouldn't even be able to get out of the mountain gate.

"Then let's see which of us opens up the sea of ​​suffering faster."

"it is good!"

"All right……"

Laughter and laughter resumed in the courtyard again, and everyone chatted and shared with each other the unconstrained imagination that belonged to children.
