Death Sutra

The laughter of the old man seems to be nearby. Shangguan and the Dutch woman have lost his trace. When they look back, they can no longer find a way out.

The sun rises, the soft light divides the leaves and leaves into the woodland, and the surrounding clusters of flowers are as straight as a fairyland, and there is no hidden sin.

The plants in the flower forest are not crowded, but there is a cluster of plants in the east, walking in the middle, and unconsciously returning to the original place.

Shangguanru and the lotus woman tried various methods, carved marks in the passing places, followed the thin lines to the road, and jumped into the air to observe the environment. As a result, they still could not walk out of the flower forest. On several occasions, they clearly marched straight, and the result was not At half an hour, I returned to the place where I used to mark.

In anxious, the two decided to eradicate the plants that blocked the road. After the first cut, the Dutch woman decided to give up this method. Those unknown flowers and trees could release a unique fragrance from the branches, which made people feel dizzy. I am afraid that I can't cut a few knives, and they will faint.

The two were trapped in the flower forest for three days. Five times, they found the traces of the old man, but as long as they turned a few turns, they could no longer find anyone. The two men were so inseparable that they were afraid of leaving.

There are many low-fruit trees in the flower forest. The fruits look sweet and delicious, but they would rather starve and dare not taste.

On the fourth day, Shangguanru and the Dutch woman still did not find a way out and the old man, but they saw another old man.

Hualin is a labyrinth. It is difficult to go out and it is easy to move forward.

Probably in the middle of the position, more than a dozen simple grass houses are surrounded by a circle, like a small village, there are no women and strong men, only one old man and ten children.

The old man looks good and his body is weak. He is like a study in a long-term study. He sits cross-legged on a futon and lectures in a strange language to the children in his teens. He turns a blind eye to the uninvited guests.

This scene is even more strange than the Hualin Maze.

Shangguan walked in with a wooden knife, and the lotus girl hid in the dark, just in case.

The Qing dynasty old man who seems to have no strength in his hand is telling the martial arts. If Shangguan does not understand his words, he can see that the children are listening carefully and the strokes are drawn.

Probably after a while, the old man looked up and showed a friendly smile. After a few words, the children turned their heads and looked at Shangguanru with curiosity.

This is more reassuring than turning a blind eye.

"Where is this? Who are you?" Shangguan said as he gestured, hoping to let the other party understand what he meant.

The old man’s eyes brightened. “There are very few people who speak this language.” He even said the Central Plains, although not very fluent, but very clear, “This is the flower soul forest of the country of Xiangji, I am a flower soul. The priest is teaching the way to keep fit."

Shangguan still couldn’t understand, she had never heard of the country of Xiangji, and she didn’t know who the flower priest was. “Is this maze you set?”

"No." The high priest shook his head. "I just live here."

"Then you must know how to get out?"

The high priest still shook his head. "I lived here since I was born and never went out."

If Shangguan heard a confused, "What about the rest of the village?"

"There are no other people, only our priests."

Shangguan began to wonder if the other party was interested in playing with himself, but looking at the simple priest's simplicity to some naive look is really not like a sham. "What about their parents? Your wife and children?"

"My parents are outside the forest. I have neither a wife nor children."

The lotus girl appeared, she carefully surveyed around, confirmed that there was no ambush, whispered up to the official said: "He has been here."

"Have you seen a short old man?" Shangguan asked.

"No, but there is a mischievous monkey who came here to steal food."

"Food?" Shangguanru’s stomach screamed with disappointment.

The high priest raised a wooden plate next to it, with bright fruit on it. The two women had already seen it in the forest and had never dared to eat it.

Such a murderous demon head, the old man, did not even poison the residents here. Shangguan felt very surprised. "Who do the children know the way out?"

The high priest is still shaking his head.

"The parents of the children always know."

The high priest thought about it and finally ordered it once.

Shangguan glanced at the lotus girl with gratitude. "When will they pick up these children, are you tonight?"

The high priest picked up a piece of note board, counted it for a while, and then pointed to the oldest child closest to him. "Three years, four months and eight days, he will be taken away. This is the fastest."

They seem to have broken into other people's dreams, can't see the scenery around them, and can't understand the words of others.

After seeing the high priests and the children eating the fruits, the hungry two women no longer care for the elegant and modest, and ate a whole five dishes.

The high priest seems to be strange, but the children slowly gather around and are interested in their costumes, looks, and eating.

Shangguan was a little embarrassed and tried to talk to them. As a result, these children did not understand the Central Plains. After a difficult gesture, they understood the meaning of the strange guest and gave the same answer as the high priest: unless outside Someone came to pick up, no one here can go out on their own.

After eating, the two women had to ask the high priest for information.

The high priest is a bit pedantic, but it is a warm heart, and there are questions and answers. Sometimes the disciples will bring a few ancient books to find the answer.

But he can't help much. His vision has never been beyond this woodland. All his knowledge comes from books. The books are ancient and mysterious, telling the structure of the whole world, but not mentioning the country of Huan Lin Lin and Xiang Xiang.

The high priest squats on his lower limbs and lives on the futon all year round, supported by his disciples.

Every few years, people from outside have sent a small number of children and sundries, picking up the children who have learned, and ensuring that the high priest always has twelve disciples.

This old man who relies on his disciples to carry out his daily actions is actually a martial art, but he himself has never practiced it. It is all about paper.

After asking a few words, Shangguanru and the Dutch woman did not care about the martial arts in the mysterious flower forest. The high priest was a kind person, and he was extremely stubborn in the knowledge of the book. I believe that all unrealistic records are true. Contradictory places to find some plausible theory to explain.

The two women continued to concentrate on finding a way out, and a few days later, something happened that made them greatly changed their impression of the high priest.

The old man came, he did not escape from the flower soul forest, and he was not in a hurry. He felt that it was very suitable for hiding exercises. After the skill was restored to 80%, he couldn’t wait to find two little girls to ask for sin and revenge, no sneak attack, but The light is challenging.

The person he hates most fears is the Dutch woman, so she named her name to ask her to fight.

This is a battle that is evenly matched. The five-hole punch is strong and overbearing. The "Death Man" is so ruthless that the two men will be shocked by the two children.

Only the high priest did not reveal the color of surprise. In his imagination, martial arts should have been so exaggerated. The disciples could not reach this kind of realm because they did not have the hard work and hard work, so he easily talked to his neighbors. opinion.

"This is a five-hole boxing, a very rare boxing method. The small man is a disciple of the Yuqing school..."

"This is... the Great Swordsmanship, even more rare, are you two people who are the Xuan Dufeng to the fortune? The fate of ours is not shallow."

"Hey, these two people are not very good at practicing. The hole, the Tong is also the meaning of understanding. It is not a hole in the person, the small man is too embarrassed, and loses the original meaning of the five elements. There is also a problem with the Jian Jian Jing. Although it is not too outrageous, it falls to the bottom of the realm..."

The more the Shangguan was heard, the more surprised he was. He couldn’t think of a ruthless high priest in this remote and sorrowful forest. He could recognize the two great achievements of the Western Region at a glance, and he could also comment. .

But she was amazed again, and couldn't compare with the two people who were fighting in life and death. The old man and the lotus girl heard the words of the high priest. After paying a dozen tricks, they separated from each other.

The old head of the wood looked at the high priest with a ghostly look. Suddenly, he pointed to Shangguanru. "You told him about the five-hole punch..."

Not waiting for Shangguan to open a rebuttal, the old man himself denied it. "No, I haven't said Yuqing, you will definitely not know."

Then turn to the high priest, "Who are you?"

"Flower Soul High Priest."

"The strange and ugly name, where did you hear about the Yuqing faction, and also recognized my five-hole punch?"

"Where is written in the book, the five elements are opposite each other. You are recruited from the heart of the opponent. It is the stage of the fire. The fire can be gold. Your real goal is..."

"Shut up and shut up!" Wood old man screamed in anger and prevented the high priest from telling the most important secret of the five-hole punch. "Old guy, dare to talk, I punch you into a meat sauce."

"It's even more inconsistent with the five-hole punching of the meat sauce." The high priest did not care about anything, only in martial arts.

In fact, he does not need to say more, Shangguan and the Dutch woman have already realized that the old man’s heart is a blind eye every time, and the real deadly power is the golden lung.

Once you understand this truth, although the power of the five-hole punch is not reduced, it is not so difficult to parry.

The Dutch woman snorted and did not immediately take the shot. She was worried that the old man had other stunts.

The old man of the wood exited a dozen steps and pointed to the lotus girl and asked the high priest. "What about her, what is the loophole in the Great Sword?"

"How can there be loopholes in the Great Sword?" The high priest looked very confused.

The old man was red and red, and felt that he was deceived. "I know, you secretly inquire about my details and want to scare me. Oh, I am not so deceived."

After saying this, the old man turned and rushed into the flower forest. He knew very well. Every word spoken by the other party was true. It was not a curse. The only thing he didn’t know was that the high priest was not only physically disabled, but also There is no martial arts at all.

Shangguan looked at the old man with incredible eyes. "What are you..."

"Flower Soul High Priest."

"But how do you know the name of Xuan Dufeng to the fort?"

Shangguan is impossible to be surprised. Xuan Dufeng’s going to the fort is the old name of Jinpengbao many years ago. She still listened to the teacher Zhang Wei’s inadvertently, and clearly remembered that Zhang Wei said that the name has long since died. No one knows outside.

The high priest has never encountered anyone with such a lack of knowledge, but he patiently explained, "I am the fifth-generation high priest of Huan Linglin, and the eleventh-generation descendant of Xuan Dufeng to the birth castle. How can I not know these old things? It is written in the book."
