Traveling through thousands of realms at the same time, I need to add some dark blue

Chapter 330 A Nun Friend of Mine

The two of them changed to a houseboat on the way, and within a few days, they had gone downstream and arrived at Xuanwu City. They went to visit Zhang Yuanshan, and yesterday they also met Jiang Zhiwei, the Chicken-Killing Sword God.

It was not an accidental encounter. She had competed in the Sword Test World and ranked tenth on the Human Ranking. She was looking for masters to challenge everywhere and had already arrived at the nearby provincial capital.

I heard that the number one Tyrant Blade on the Human Ranking and the number 33 Wild King Kong on the Human Ranking were slaying the Luo Cult monsters nearby. I thought it was such a coincidence, so I decided to see if I could see my teammates and look for them intentionally.

Don’t ask why the news spreads so quickly. This is the world of martial arts, and the achievements of the masters on the young people’s list spread quickly.

And there is something to say here. Compared with other martial arts worlds where messages can only be transmitted by carrier pigeons, this place has long-distance communication means to transmit intelligence and gossip. In fact, it is a fantasy world, so it is very reasonable for messages to spread quickly.

Gu Meng took the initiative to exude his aura when she approached, and the two sides met.

Jiang Zhiwei had sword fights with Xiao Meng and Gu Meng on the river respectively. The duel with Xiao Meng was a teaching round, and the duel with Gu Meng was also a teaching round.

This result was natural. Upon learning that the two were going to the Zhenwu Sect to find Zhang Yuanshan, Jiang Zhiwei thought that it was not far and would not delay her travels, so she decided to go together. So the three of them went to Xuanwu City together.

The main gate of the Zhenwu sect is twenty miles north of this city. People in the martial arts world call Xuanwu City the gateway to Zhenwu, a barbaric place that does not accept orders from the court.

It is true that knights use force to break the law, and Confucian scholars use literature to disrupt the law.

As soon as he got off the boat, Xiao Meng felt the prosperity which was different from the "Three Mountains and Four Waters". There were people coming and going on the dock, some wearing wide robes with big sleeves, some wearing brocade and jade robes, some wearing tight-fitting headscarves, and some wearing short straw sandals. Some were rich, some were poor, some were strong, some were weak, and the voices were noisy and various accents echoed.

Compared with the big cities in the modern world, this place is certainly not as prosperous, but it has its own unique flavor.

He still hid the three weapons in the big package, holding the Bingque Sword with his left hand, dressed as a green-shirted swordsman, and tightened the straps of his gauze hat with his right hand to prevent his wig from being squeezed off, which would be very embarrassing.

The three of them walked into the city along the wide stone road, which was even more prosperous, more lively, and more crowded.

The Zhang family of the Zhenwu sect is quite powerful, and their mansion is well-known, so they can just walk around leisurely.

Little Meng looked around like a country scholar who had just entered a real big city, attracting many covetous glances, who wanted to steal his money, but all the thieves returned empty-handed because when those with bad intentions approached and were about to take action, they would be directly intimidated by Gu Meng. The greater the malicious intent, the greater the impact, and some of them fainted on the spot, causing some trouble.

Some people recognized them and thought they were trying to scam them.

But that's all there is to it, and usually it's just petty theft, because this is the sphere of influence of the famous and upright Zhenwu Sect, and the security seems good, there are only a few more vicious thieves, and there are many masters of the righteous ways, and they know that if they run into a martial arts master, no evil forces dare to retaliate and will just admit defeat.

After this episode, not long after, we saw the Zhang family mansion on the bank of Xuanshui River. The buildings were continuous and covered a very large area, giving off the atmosphere of a wealthy family.

Zhang Yuanshan is inside the gate of Zhenwu Sect, and even the core members of Zhang family are also in the auxiliary peak of Zhenwu Mountain. If you don’t know him, you can just go to Zhenwu Sect to find him. But now you are visiting good friends, you should go to Zhang’s house to pay a visit.

There were horse posts on both sides of the gate of Zhang's mansion. Most of them were tied with ropes, and the horses were snorting there.

"There are so many guests..." Meng Qi was a little confused. Under normal circumstances, where would so many guests come from?

Gu Meng touched his chin and said, "It is quite lively. I am afraid it is something like a wedding or birthday banquet."

"Brother Gu, Miss Jiang...is she really...a little monk?" Suddenly, a familiar female voice came from the entrance of the alley.

Looking back, I saw an oval-faced girl hiding at the corner of two alleys. She was gentle and sweet, with excitement on her face for meeting an acquaintance in a foreign land, and she seemed to have let out a long sigh of relief from her fear.

"Miss Zhenzhen?" Gu Meng raised his eyebrows and walked over quickly. The girl was none other than Fu Zhenzhen, one of his friends, a disciple of Yinghua Temple in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and an expert in medicine and poison.

How did she... understand? She actually traveled thousands of miles south to Xuanwu to find her lover!
I can't believe that Fu Zhenzhen looks gentle, but she is such a proactive person...

Tsk tsk tsk, those who show off their affection will die sooner... Pulling a sack, doesn't seem to be auspicious, bah, bah, bah, Gu Meng shook his head.

Meng Qi also wanted to understand Fu Zhenzhen's origins, and said with a smile: "Miss Zhenzhen, are you here to see Senior Brother Zhang?"

"I'm here. I've been here for a few days, but I didn't dare to come to your house." Fu Zhenzhen lowered her head and tugged at the corner of her clothes, looking like an ugly daughter-in-law who was afraid to meet her parents-in-law.

As a girl, Jiang Zhiwei held back her laughter and didn't make any jokes. Fu Zhenzhen was thin-skinned and couldn't stand this kind of teasing:
"It's just right. We also want to find Senior Brother Zhang for team building. Let's go together. By the way, the little monk has been expelled from the sect because he broke his vows. He will no longer be a monk. You don't need to call him by his Buddhist name. You can just call him Meng Qi."

Jiang Zhiwei learned the term team building from Gu Meng and the others. She always felt that when they were together, they would sometimes say some interesting things... Well, it felt like they had something in common with each other.

Fu Zhenzhen's face flushed and she nodded softly. She had seen the human list and actually knew some things about Meng Qi recently, but she was not sure.

Because Fu Zhenzhen was too shy and nervous, she didn't say a word until she reached Zhang's gate.

Meng Qi walked up the steps with a smile and said to the doorman, "I am Meng Qi, together with Hero Gu Meng, Miss Jiang Zhiwei, and Miss Fu Zhenzhen, we are here to pay our respects to Senior Brother Zhang Yuanshan. You just need to tell Senior Brother Zhang our names and he will come to see us."

At first, Menzi didn't react when hearing the announcement because there were many guests scheduled for the banquet today. But when he heard these familiar names, he immediately took them seriously. They turned out to be people on the list!
He hurried to report. At that moment, another group of Zhang's servants came out, followed by a large group of heroes, including monks, Taoists, laymen, young masters and beggars.

The doorman whispered a few words to Zhang's servants, explaining the identities of Gu Meng and others. Upon hearing the great name, the servants were shocked and hurriedly saluted respectfully - no matter whether it was true or not, they had to treat it as true first - while reporting to the person in charge of the Zhang family separately, they invited the four people to join the team and go to Zhenwu Mountain together.

The group did not ride horses, but passed through the city and headed towards Zhenwu Mountain.

"Brother Gu, congratulations on being ranked first on the human list." Fu Zhenzhen said in secret.

"Just don't criticize me for bullying children."

Fu Zhenzhen was embarrassed. In fact, she really thought so. The main reason was that Gu Meng's strength at the end of the Demon Tomb World was too strong. He should not be on the Human List. He should have been on the Earth List or even the Heaven List. It was like the strongest king was fighting against the silver list. It was too bullying.

"Meng Qi, when I saw your name on the list, I was almost shocked."

Fu Zhenzhen is older than Meng Qi, and their relationship is neither distant nor close, so he chose to call him by his full name.

Listening to her secret voice, Meng Qi felt happy and sad. Being able to be on the human list and show off in front of others was naturally a happy thing, but the nickname was really too ugly!
Let's change the subject.

"Miss Zhenzhen, are you going directly south while you are out traveling?" Yinghua Temple has some powerful warriors from outside, but it is not a big sect. The disciples can go down the mountain to travel after they have stabilized their mind, so Meng Qi asked this question.

Fu Zhenzhen's cheeks flushed, and her eyes were on her toes. "I, I thought there was nothing else to do while traveling, so I headed south. I also exchanged the first part of the "Saving People Sutra", and it would be easy to be discovered if I stayed near the sect."

What a deep affection, really enviable... Meng Qi sighed, chatted with her casually, and listened to the conversations of other people in the martial arts world around them.

"If the Zhang family and the Song family marry, I'm afraid the Zhenwu sect will see a big change."

"They are just trying to protect themselves. Over the past few decades, the Yao family has become increasingly powerful, and the three major secular families are about to become one..."

The more Meng Qi listened, the more puzzled he felt. He couldn't help but ask the Taoist priest next to him, "Master Taoist, is today the wedding banquet for the Zhang and Song families?"

These martial artists only saw the Zhang family servants bowing to Gu Meng and the others, but did not hear Xiao Meng introduce himself. They thought they were Zhang family's relatives and friends. Upon hearing this, they looked at Xiao Meng strangely, as if to say, if you don't know about this, then what are you doing here?
He paused and said, "Yes, today is the engagement party for Zhang Yuanshan and Song Mingxi."

Jiang Zhiwei and Meng Qi were shocked when they heard this, and subconsciously turned to look at Fu Zhenzhen, only to see that her face turned pale and her body swayed slightly, as if she was about to faint.

"Senior Brother Zhang Yuanshan?" Fu Zhenzhen's face was pale, and her eyes were terrifyingly bright. She asked back as if she had heard it wrong, seeking the last glimmer of hope.

The Taoist felt that something was a little strange, but he was a monk, so he didn't think about the emotional entanglement between men and women for a moment:
"Zhang Yuanshan is one of the seven disciples of this generation of the Zhenwu Sect. Although he is ranked last, he is also highly regarded. If we want to marry him, only he can satisfy the Song family."

He thought the two of them doubted the necessity of Zhang Yuanshan as a marriage partner.

Meng Qi, who was standing next to him, wanted to stop him from answering, but it was too late.

"good very good."

Fu Zhenzhen turned around in despair, left the team, and headed in another direction outside the city.

She unconsciously used Qinggong, moving as fast as a stunning bird, as if she wanted to put this unacceptable fact behind her.

At this time, Gu Meng and others certainly could not go up the mountain on their own. They sighed, and each used their skills to catch up.

The rest of the team looked at them in surprise, not understanding what was going on.

The servant leading the way shouted after seeing them: "Master Gu, Miss Jiang, Master Meng, where are you going?" But it was obvious that he could not catch up.

……

Fu Zhenzhen crossed mountains and rivers, running aimlessly in the wild, completely unaware of where she was going, and just subconsciously wanted to escape.

Xiao Meng and Jiang Zhiwei followed her but did not go up to persuade her. In this situation, they did not know what to say, so they could only follow her in silence to prevent her from getting into any accidents, which was also considered fulfilling their duties as friends.

After running for a long time, Fu Zhenzhen finally ran out of energy and slowed down. In front of them was a quiet hill with a monastery vaguely visible on it. Gu Meng's divine eye could even see that the building on top was a temple.

At the foot of the mountain, Fu Zhenzhen covered her face with her hands and whimpered. The Exorcist Sword God sighed, feeling that it was meaningless, without a woman in his heart, and drew his sword naturally.

Gu Meng wanted to say: "Girl, remember this hatred, this pain..."

"I have a sword technique for exorcising evil spirits. I want to practice divine skills and wield a sword...Oh, you don't have it."

"Then you practiced against the flow to ward off evil spirits and reversed yin and yang, trying to practice divine skills and achieve premature menopause."

"Then turn evil. You will become ten times stronger. When you have mastered your sword skills and poison skills, and achieved the Dharma body that can reverse the evil spirits and reverse the yin and yang and the five poisons, you will become the real Red Snake Fairy plus and kill all the unfaithful people in the world. You will directly create all things to feed people, and people have nothing to repay heaven. Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill". (bushi)

Hahahaha... Hey, why, Gu Meng reflected on why his empathy for the love-loving men and women (crossed out) and the infatuated men and women became less and less, is it really that he is too oblivious to love?

I would like to make a joke to ease this sad atmosphere. Will Buddha deduct my merits?

Oh, the sack is stuck on the Buddha’s butt and he can’t protect himself!

Hahaha, yeah, no one will deduct my merits, so it’s okay.

The Chicken-Killing Sword God sighed, "In the morning I reject Bodhi and in the evening I seek Daluo, I do not feel lonely on the dangerous road. In my life I only love the seven-foot sword, it can kill me and I will be seen as not myself".

In the original novel, Xiao Meng and her had an ambiguous relationship, but because of Gu Meng's presence, there was no scene where the two of them supported each other and survived a life-and-death struggle in Yinhuang Fort. Xiao Meng's teammates now are all purely friendly, and he has a socialist brotherhood with Gu Meng, with whom he has the best relationship, that goes beyond ordinary friendship.

Jiang Zhiwei initially had the intention of helping the weak towards Xiao Meng. Xiao Meng was obviously the youngest and had the weakest martial arts skills. Later, they developed a certain friendship, but still not as good as Gu Meng.

The two sword gods have fought with each other many times. Each time, Jiang Zhiwei would challenge the Exorcism Sword Technique after making a slight improvement to verify her own progress, and then be defeated. There were many bonds that came out of fencing.

But it also tends to be a special emotion, just like the Sword Master and Wuming, although there is a huge gap in martial arts, it is more or less that kind of emotion, not as simple as the love between men and women.

Ke Bijun was the one who really just wanted to eat the chicken head and covet Gu Meng's body, but Gu Meng didn't let her succeed.

Xiao Meng just thought Jiang Zhiwei was pretty, had strong and handsome swordsmanship, and was the ideal swordsman in white. He never thought of confessing his feelings to her. Later, Xiao Meng met Gu Xiaosang, and they were just friends.

The two sword gods, who only had martial arts in their minds, sighed. The Flower Monk and the Thunder Blade Mad Monk also sighed and decided to go up and give them some advice.

Even though you have lost your lover, you still have your family and your master. Don't give up on yourself.

Although he didn't know what to say specifically, he himself was now in a bad relationship.

Suddenly, a solemn drum sound reached Fu Zhenzhen's ears.

when!
After the drumbeats came the melodious and profound sound of bells, which seemed to ring in everyone's heart, sweeping away worries and attachments.

Fu Zhenzhen's whole body trembled, her hands slid down, and she stared blankly in the direction where the bell sound came from. She took a step forward and walked up the stone steps of the hill, looking for the source of the bell sound.

The three shook their heads and followed slowly. They all guessed what would happen.

Gu Meng's eyes were somewhat indifferent, but his heart was not completely calm.

What is love in this world? It makes people promise to be together for life and death, which is really sigh-worthy.

If I remember correctly, in the original novel, Fu Zhenzhen and Zhang Yuanshan died one after another. After Fu Zhenzhen's death, Zhang Yuanshan obviously didn't want to live anymore, and he committed suicide for love. He didn't seem like an unfaithful man, and now he wants to get married, he must have no choice.

As family members enjoy resources, they have no choice but to marry into the family. It is only natural.

Jiang Zhiwei didn't think about these things for a moment. She wanted to find Zhang Yuanshan to ask for an explanation for Fu Zhenzhen, even if it meant breaking up with her.

Meng Qi organized his words in his mind, thinking about how to persuade Fu Zhenzhen later.

There are several temples on this hill, which are Zen temples that have survived tenaciously near the Taoist sect. The incense is not very popular, and the monks coming and going all seem to be ordinary in skills.

Yes, if they knew martial arts and belonged to a martial arts sect, it would be a bit ignorant if they stayed near the Zhenwu Sect.

Fu Zhenzhen walked along the way, passed several Buddhist temples, and stopped in front of a nunnery.

She turned her head, tears still on her face, and looked at her teammates with slightly empty eyes:
"My master has always wanted me to become a monk and become the true descendant of Yinghua Temple, to get rid of the temptations of the secular world and concentrate on studying martial arts and medicine. But I always wanted to find a good husband, to be a beautiful woman, to paint eyebrows and do forehead, and to go out into the world together, just like my parents, so I insisted on being a lay disciple."

"It was not until today that I realized what Master said was true. How many couples in the world can be as loving as my parents? The vows we made to each other are empty, the whispers we made to each other are empty. The words are still ringing in my ears, but I have already married someone else. The world is full of sufferings, and they are all illusions. Why can't I become a monk?"

Both sword gods were silent, but their thoughts were different.

Jiang Zhiwei had already clenched her sword. She looked at Gu Meng, as if trying to find out whether Gu Meng would stop her. However, Gu Meng just blended into the nature of heaven and earth, seeming to be affectionate and heartless at the same time, and it was impossible to tell what was going on.

Meng Qi opened his mouth. The organization's words just now were useless again. However, he was also slightly relieved. Becoming a monk was better than taking revenge on society.

With Fu Zhenzhen's ability to use poison and medicine, Zhang Yuanshan might have to have a ghost marriage.

Haha... Well, Xiao Meng was actually also thinking of a hellish joke. He and Gu Meng were really birds of a feather, in cahoots with each other, and had the same bad taste.

Fu Zhenzhen was just talking, not expecting anyone to answer her at all. She turned and walked into the nunnery to look for the abbot.

Gu Meng and Jiang Zhiwei did not move, only Meng Qi followed in.

This is a small nunnery with old furnishings. There are only a dozen or so bhikkhunis, young and old, dressed simply with peaceful expressions, making the Buddhist hall where Bodhisattvas are enshrined full of a sense of tranquility.

"Do you want to become a monk?" The presiding nun did not seem happy or excited about someone's conversion. Instead, she asked solemnly.

Fu Zhenzhen lowered her eyebrows and eyes, kneeling on the futon: "Yes."

"You have tears in the corners of your eyes and a man is following you. You must be hurt by love. If you are acting on impulse, it is better not to become a nun." The head nun advised Fu Zhenzhen.

The corner of Meng Qi's mouth twitched. I'm just an enthusiastic friend. This matter has nothing to do with me!

Fu Zhenzhen repeated what she had just said to Meng Qi, and looked at the host nun with misty eyes: "Love is fake, please help me, nun."

The nun sighed and said, "Since you are a Buddhist disciple, I will follow your wishes. I hope you can study Buddhism with peace of mind and truly achieve enlightenment."

Fu Zhenzhen was from Yinghua Temple, so she would definitely go back and get her ordination certificate and name, so there were no overly complicated procedures here, and Fu Zhenzhen was soon kneeling in front of the Bodhisattva statue.

The presiding nun glanced at Meng Qi and did not chase him away. She allowed him to watch and walked up to Fu Zhenzhen with a razor in her hand.

"I'll ask you again, do you really want the ancient Buddha and the green lamp?" Her expression became solemn.

Fu Zhenzhen looked at the green light in front of her and nodded slightly: "Yes."

Meng Qi took a step subconsciously and opened his mouth, but ultimately did not say anything to dissuade her. He watched the nun place the razor on top of Fu Zhenzhen's head and watched the strands of black hair fall.

He was also a little annoyed as to why the other two companions didn't try to persuade them. Of course, he knew that this idea was a bit unreasonable because he had no way to persuade them.

Little did he know, what Gu Meng was thinking was that Fu Zhenzhen did not have his profound wisdom, nor had she attained great enlightenment. She was still young and still had feelings for her. What was the big deal if she cut off her hair in a moment of impulse?

Wait until she calms down and tells the whole story, then she can become a nun and return to secular life. Anyway, she is just getting ordained here, her connections are not dependent on this place, and there won't be any trouble. It will be much easier than returning to secular life for Xiao Meng.

"All worries are gone, and the worldly world is far away." The host nun recited these words to Fu Zhenzhen while shaving her hair.

Fu Zhenzhen clenched her teeth, and as her hair gradually fell out, she relaxed a little, looking relieved.

Listening to the words "all worries are gone, and the worldly affairs are far away", Meng Qi seemed to have returned to the time when he first came into this world. Thinking of his master and fellow disciples, he suddenly felt melancholy.

Soon, Fu Zhenzhen finished letting her black hair fall, went to the back hall, changed into a black robe, and put on a monk's hat.

Seeing her dressed like a nun and the dim green lights in the meditation hall, Meng Qi was touched and all kinds of emotions surged up:

"From love arises sorrow, from love arises fear. If you are separated from the one you love, there will be no sorrow and no fear."

His voice was peaceful and Buddhist scriptures echoed in the meditation hall.

“From love comes sorrow, from love comes fear. If you are free from love, there will be no sorrow and no fear…” Fu Zhenzhen repeated it several times in a low voice, becoming more and more stupid.

"Oh, idiot..."
