Taiping Inn

When the darkness in front of him dissipated, Li Xuandu and the other two found themselves in a cylindrical cave, which was the corpse-raising site they had passed by before.

It was said that it was thanks to Zaoge Sect. When the construction of this corpse-raising site was built, Zaoge Sect attached great importance to it. It was reinforced by various talismans. In the huge shock just now, although most of the cliff holes had been It is destroyed, but the cylindrical cave as the main body is still barely maintained, but after the effect of the talisman is lost, it will completely collapse here.

There are four exits here, corresponding to four directions: east, west, south and north. The exit when the group came was located in the north, the exit to Changsheng Palace was located in the west, and the exit where the Tibetan elderly first appeared was located in the south. At this time, the exits in the west and north directions had completely collapsed, and the way was blocked by huge rocks. Only the exits in the east and south directions were still safe and sound.

Li Xuandu took out a hand-held night lamp from the "Eighteenth Floor", which was as useless as the fire copper tripod used to cook wine, but it was extremely convenient when walking outside. This night light is no different from an ordinary oil lamp. It's just that the lighting is not a candle, but a valuable night light bead that emits a faint light, which is not bright, but with the ability of three people to see night vision , enough.

Li Xuandu asked with the night lights, "Which road should we take?"

Yan Feiqing thought for a moment and said, "Old Man Zang came here from the passage in the south, so the passage in the south is very likely to be directly connected to the mountain gate of Zaoge Sect. I think it is better to go to the passage in the east."

Su Yunying nodded and agreed, "I also think it's better to go east."

Li Xuandu said, "Then go east, I walk in front, Brother Xuanji walks in the middle, behind Aiyun Hall."

Yan Feiqing smiled bitterly and said, "It's not like this. Although I am a alchemist, I am not so delicate."

Su Yunxian said, "It's true that there is no need to be like this. Even if there is any ambush in this passage, it has already escaped at this time. As for the mechanism and other objects, it will most likely fail under the violent vibration just now, so there is no need to worry too much."

Li Xuan did not refute and was doing good.

The three of them walked into the passage together. All four sides of the passage were made of huge stones, which should have been extremely strong, but at this time there were many cracks on the walls, and they might be completely destroyed in a short while.

But perhaps it was because the hardships were over, and the three of them finally encountered no more twists and turns along the way and were safe. However, this passage was unexpectedly long. After walking for about ten miles, the passage had completely returned to normal. No more than those waking cracks were seen. It can be seen that they had already walked out of the range affected by the talisman array of the Palace of Eternal Life, but this passage There is still no end, but fortunately, you can feel the extremely subtle flow of breath, which can prove that this passage is not a dead end.

The three of them walked side by side in the passage, Yan Feiqing was in the middle, Li Xuandu was on the left, and Su Yunyu was on the right.

After experiencing a life-and-death battle, the relationship between the three people is obviously much closer, and they no longer have a straight look in their words. They even have some leisure to say gossip that has nothing to do with the general trend of the world.

For example, the marriage between Yan Feiqing and Su Yunba. It is roughly determined after the Great Ceremony of the Daoism, and with the face of the Great Ceremony of the Daoism and the two families of Zhengyi Sect and Cihang Sect, anyone with a strong reputation in the world will definitely join in the fun. I think it will be another one. A grand event in the world.

"Brother Xuanji, you came from a Yan family. Although you went up the mountain to learn Taoism, your parents are still there. After getting married, have you ever thought about having children? It is not only to ignite an incense for the Yan family, but also to let the two elders enjoy it. Have fun with the joy of Sun.”

"Brother Zifu...this..."

Yan Feiqing was a little embarrassed about this matter and was afraid of speaking. On the contrary, the woman Su Yunzhai looked as usual and did not look at all ashamed and annoyed. But it is indeed a bit unreasonable. A person who was once the number one on Shaoxuan List and a person who is now the number one on Shaoxuan List. Not to mention their identities, they are all young people with high spirits and they don’t seem to be talking about it. For topics about future generations, at least talk about cultivation insights or give some advice on the country, it is best to make a few more clever words. This is the style that countless people in the world admire and admire when they hear it.

"Brother Xuanji doesn't need to avoid it. This is the nature of human relations. If I want to say, the Jing Zen system is indeed a bit unreliable. If you become a monk and a monk, you cannot marry, and naturally you cannot have children. If it is really like what they preached. Generally speaking, everyone believes in Buddhism and becomes a monk, but does not marry a wife or a wife. After decades, will we be exterminated after hundreds of years? But if only a small number of people can believe in Buddhism and become a monk, then the Mahayana Buddhism they preach will be It’s nonsense, and saving sentient beings is a lie. No wonder all dynasties have destroyed Buddha three times, and it’s not without roots.”

"The words of Zifu are reasonable." Su Yun's mother said, "There are differences between Hinayana and Mahayana Buddhism. Hinayana seeks to be perfected by itself, and Mahayana seeks to save all sentient beings. It is similar to Confucianism's solemn self-care and helps the world. My Cihang School is Hinayana Buddhism, while Jing Zen Buddhism is Mahayana Buddhism, so Jing Zen Buddhism often uses this to exile my Cihang School. However, Jing Zen Buddhism has been building a temple for more than a thousand years, but they have not seen them save many people in the world. On the contrary, the Confucian lineage has truly achieved the goal of helping the world."

Li Xuan was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Fairy Su, who was born in Buddhism, agreed with his own point of view.

At this time, Yan Feiqing also said, "What you practice is yourself. Being a monk means leaving home, not being homeless. From this point of view, Buddhism is indeed biased."

This involves the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, but now is not a grand ceremony to discuss Taoism, so there is no need to distinguish who is superior. The three people just expressed their own views.

Li Xuandu was born in Taoism, and later turned to Confucianism. Naturally, he did not like the Buddhist monks who did not produce but were rich. For a king, believing in Taoism is nothing more than seeking the elixir of immortality, which is just a loss of money, but if you believe in Buddhism, it is scattered. Becoming a monk means being homeless. Without a home, how can there be a country and the world? He also opposes killing. If you don’t kill, how can the army be sharp and how can you defend your home and country. The temples do not pay taxes, so they wantonly annex fields and use the blood and sweat of countless tenants to support the monks to practice Buddhism. They are worse than those who "talk about the mind when they have nothing to do, and when they are in danger, they are too cold to die."

Yan Feiqing is a pure Taoist, so there is no need to say more. The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has been going on for a long time and is destined to be a mess that cannot be settled.

As for Su Yunyan, she was born in the Cihang Sect of the Hinayana lineage. She cultivated herself but did not become a monk. She also practiced Mahayana things and entered the world with the ambition to save the world and the people. She had the posture of Confucian unity of knowledge and action. On the other hand, the Jingchan Sect of the Mahayana lineage practiced Mahayana Buddhism, but now closed the mountains and temples and did not leave the house. I really don’t know how to save all sentient beings in this world, so she did not refute the two.

So the three people talked about Jingchan Sect, which is known as the ancestral home of Buddhism.

Of course, Buddhism can stand on the same level as Confucianism and Taoism among the three religions, and Jingchan Sect can be known as the ancestral home of Buddhism. Naturally, it has its own unique features. If there is a high monk of Jingchan Sect here, he must be able to speak eloquently and make the three speechless. Unfortunately, there is not even a little monk at this time, so naturally no one speaks for Jingchan Buddhism.

As they talked, the passage under the feet of the three people began to tilt upward. After walking hundreds of feet upward, this extremely long passage finally came to an end.

Leaving the passage, there is a naturally formed cave, without many traces of artificial excavation, and there are rugged rocks everywhere. After walking a distance in the cave, Li Xuandu suddenly stopped and said, "There is a sound of water."

Su Yun'an and Yan Feiqing looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Since there is a sound of water, it is most likely not in the mountain gate of Zaoge Sect. In other words, after experiencing so many hardships, they are finally going to escape from danger.

When they set out from Baigu Town, no one probably thought that they were almost buried alive underground.

Going a little further, as expected, you can faintly hear the sound of water pouring, and the sound is getting louder and louder, and finally even the warm and humid water vapor can be felt in the air.

Su Yun'an looked at the faint light at the end of the cave, vaguely guessing that it should be the exit, and heaved a long sigh of relief: "I finally got out after waiting for the clouds to clear and the moon to shine."

Li Xuandu was also relieved, and said with emotion: "The old man Zang was smart. He used the 'Yin Yang Gate' to leave before the talisman formation was opened, and almost buried us all here. If I ever ascend to the Heavenly Man Realm, I must find this old man and ask him for a sword."

Yan Feiqing smiled and said: "This sentence is a bit like the meaning of the Purple Mansion Sword Immortal back then."
