In the afternoon, after settling down Zhao Xixi, Ye Yu followed Feng Tielu to the south of the city, planning to find an acquaintance who was "all here" to ask about the ghost face flower.

Along the way, Ye Yu, who likes to get to the bottom of everything, asked a few more questions about the "root of life".

Although he was not interested in the classics of the three religions and the miscellaneous studies of the hundred schools of thought except for the secret books of martial arts since he was a child, he was also forced to read a lot by his mother.

According to his understanding, the Buddhists often talk about karma and karma, the four truths and eight sufferings, and the final realization is the word "detachment".

The quiet and inaction of the Taoist gate, to the extreme, to keep quiet, to return to nature, can be interpreted as a "and" word.

Confucianism's education of the five constants and the cultivation of qi are the pursuit of immortality, that is, the word "survival".

The three schools can be said to have their own special advantages, but he has never heard of Taoism that pursues longevity and long-term vision, and there is a "five doors in and out" similar to the six reincarnations of Buddhism.

And the reason why he was very interested in this was because when he listened to Zhao Xixi's story of what he saw in the "floating dream", he remembered the strange dream of "turning into a moth" before, and he always felt that the two were somewhat similar.

Feng Tielu's personality jumped out, and he lacked interest in these serious principles, and parroted many opinions he had heard from his master, and dealt with them hastily.

However, this made Ye Su feel a sense of sudden opening after listening to it.

The five gates and the six realms of reincarnation seem to be the same, both of which talk about how the living are "reincarnated" after death, but their fundamental purposes are diametrically opposed.

One talks about "taking off", and the other is talking about "wearing".

Studying the differences, the five bodies are completely different from the three bodies of "Dharma, retribution, and response" as mentioned by the Buddhists.

Before, he thought that the five people who were integrated into Zhao Xixi's body were the retribution of her previous life, but he couldn't figure out why there were five people.

Could it be that in order to achieve the body of the floating soul, it is necessary to accumulate the five generations of yin virtue?

After listening to the explanation, I knew that it would be wrong, and the five bodies refer to "the incarnation condensed by the power of the five gates", but more or less, depending on the human heart.

After the death of the living, the soul is scattered, leaving only the "ecstasy" of the nine qi wandering away, because each has its own attachment, it is involved by the power of the five gates, and it will gradually dissipate and return to nothing.

The floating soul uses the five bodies to protect its nature, which is precisely the opposite, using the five doors to condense the qi and incarnate and return it to its own use, such as taking food from the tiger's mouth.

The difficulty depends on the "green, red, yellow, white" and other life and death cycles.

Buddhism says that the four major are empty, persuading people to let go, asking for great liberation, they have to get rid of him naked, the roots are overwhelming, and in the end they don't even want their lives.

But Taoism is different, whether it is cultivating immortals, seeking Taoism, or being a ghost, what is ultimately sought is immortality, dual cultivation of life, and all changes will not deviate from its ancestry.

If a person wants to practice, he must first learn to carry qi, for example, at the beginning of a person, he must first learn to eat, walk, and dress.

Wait until the gods are full of forms and have to turn into innateness, before they can refine the gods, and then return to the void and muddy, and be in harmony with the Tao.

The floating soul gathers five bodies to protect nature, and the ecstasy is like a naked baby, who is frozen to death when the cold wind comes, and has five bodies to shelter from the wind and rain, so that he can barely survive.

As for the disformation and transformation of the physical body after the death of the living, there are many kinds of situations, and it is difficult to explain it in one or two sentences.

There are roughly several categories: fire solution, hydrolysis, military solution, clothing solution, transformation solution, and sword solution.

Feng Tielu didn't know much either.

......

While talking, the two came to Anshanfang in the south of the city, crossed a stone arch bridge, and came to an octagonal square.

There are many pavilions around here, the eaves of the corridors are connected, and there is a stone pavilion in the center of the square.

Feng Tielu suddenly whispered to remind him that when he arrived at the place, don't look around, so as not to get into trouble.

Ye Yu was unprepared, he didn't expect that the guests would be in this place, he nodded slightly, although full of questions, but did not make a sound, only silently followed behind, and came to the west side of the square in front of a simple wooden building.

Feng Tielu had already entered the building one step ahead of others, and greeted a guy with a smile.

Ye Yu peeked and saw that the layout of this "guest all comes" is similar to that of an ordinary inn, and it is also the layout of the front store and the back room, but it is much more magnificent.

The lobby on the first floor is empty, the beams are pulled with red silk, the column head is hung with lanterns, there are tables and chairs under the patio, there is a tea room on the left, a wine table on the right, and stairs on the east and west sides.

From time to time, guests carrying knives and swords come in and out of the backyard, whispering to the guys, all mysterious and secretive, as if they are afraid that the wall has ears.

Different from the hustle and bustle of the Taiping Tower, it seems to be very quiet, but it also invisibly reveals a depressing feeling.

After a while, I saw a man in Tsing Yi holding a bowl and plate jumping down the stairs and ten steps at a time, his steps were light, like a cloud.

When I saw it at night, I was slightly surprised, the Luan Crane of Zixiao Palace was empty, and he had a good body!

When the guy in Tsing Yi saw Feng Tielu, he seemed a little surprised, put down the things in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Yo, this is not Brother Monkey, what kind of wind blew you here?"

Feng Tielu clenched his fists and smiled: "Third brother, the junior brother has something I want to ask you for help?"

The guy in Tsing Yi glanced at the immature Yeyu, looked at Feng Tielu again, turned sideways and said, "Okay, please inside"

Feng Tielu raised his hand: "Third brother, can we talk outside?"

The man in Tsing Yi smiled and nodded, put one hand around his shoulder, and strode out the front door.

In the secluded alley next to the inn, Feng Tielu first introduced the young man in Tsing Yi named "Zangjin Wu" to Ye Jiu, and then concisely explained his intentions, and also took out a paper bag from his arms and stuffed it to him, smiling all over his face, looking very dog-legged.

Seeing that it was a dream grass, the Tibetan gold crow smiled and put it in his arms, and put his hands on his waist, twisting his waist and bones, and did not speak for a while.

Ye Yan looked as if he was playing with Feng Tielu, and was a little curious about his origin.

Zangjin Wu was silent for a while, suddenly lowered his head, looked at Feng Tielu and said: "Monkey, you know the rules of these eight major places, everything has to be called for silver, I know this work, it is a loose cultivation at the soul hooking place, we have a friendship, you kid is on the road, I won't beat around the bush with you, let's just say that if you pick a ghost face flower, how do you plan to repay me?"

Feng Tielu Monkey Spirit, knowing that he was going to pluck the goose: "The third brother made a price"

Zangjin Crow turned over and squeezed his hands: "I know that you don't have any money, so you want three ghost face flowers, how about it?"

Ye Yu's heart was slightly relieved, but fortunately, this guy didn't open his mouth like Lao Zhou.

Feng Tielu was embarrassed, and finally nodded.

Zangjin Crow said again: "The ghost face flower itself is nothing, as long as you cover your face and cover it with an opaque pocket when picking, but it grows in the Zhu Yan Cave, that monster is very difficult to deal with, extremely fierce, I have to help you find someone to ask, you will come back in five or six days"

Feng Tielu was secretly happy in his heart, he didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and hurriedly thanked him.

After that, the two of them chatted about something else, and Ye Yu didn't listen carefully, but was secretly shocked by the casual mention of a news just now.

Ever since he got Lao Zhou's "Fang Yuzhi", he will take it out and look through it as soon as he is free, and he already remembers eight or nine points.

According to the book, in Wuping Mountain, there is a kind of strange beast named "Zhu Yan", which looks like a female ape, with white hair and bare feet, and has a voice like a weak girl, good at disguise, and eats blood and eats people.

He didn't expect that the cave he saw in his dream was actually its lair!

Ye Yan was afraid for a while, thinking that if they climbed the tiger leaping cliff and went to the cave to pick flowers, they were afraid that there would be more luck and less luck.

......

After leaving the guest, both of them felt that for the sake of insurance, they had to ask Lao Zhou again.

But when he came to Jishe, he found that the old man didn't know where to go to drink.

I was bored with the night, so I asked about what happened just now.

Only then did I realize that all the guests came not one, but eight, which were pavilions built on eight sides around the small square.

According to the different livelihoods, it is divided into eight places: "mourning, asking for life, hooking the soul, bewitching, thousands of machines, turning the sky, chartering and eating crimes".

The inn they just came out of was a charter office, which specialized in helping people find out the news and matchmaking.

As for what the other places are doing, Feng Tielu is afraid of the rules and does not elaborate.

And the Tibetan Golden Crow, who has a unique skill, don't look at his young age, but he is the young owner of this guest, nicknamed "A Slip of Smoke".

When I was a child, I was the demon king of the mixed world in the entire southern city.

His father Xu Zhenye is the leader of these eight major places, nicknamed "loser".

When Ye Yan heard these two nicknames, he thought it was funny: "Why doesn't this son take Lao Tzu's surname?"

Feng Tielu also chuckled: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, his father is soft and easy-going, but his mother is the first woman in Taiping City, nicknamed "A Wall", when you have the opportunity to see it in the future, you will know"

A smoke, a ruiner, a wall.

The more Ye Yu pondered, the more interesting he became: "Does everyone in the Nine Elements have a nickname? What is your nickname? Mad Monkey?"

Feng Tielu shook his head: "Only when you are fifteen years old can you have a title, I am only twelve, and it will take a few years, but with my master's lazy nature, it is estimated that this is it."

"Title, is it possible that there are still officials and lords?"

"That's not it, but it's pretty much the same, I don't know much about this rule, anyway, if you have a title, you can get the money, and you don't have to pay the monthly salary"

"Hmph, this blue monster can really figure it out!"

Looking at the entire Taiping City, those who dare to blatantly call the city lord the boss like this, Feng Tielu only knows one Ye Yu at present.

I can't take that anymore.

When the sun was in the west, Old Wednesday walked back from outside with a stagger, and rarely changed out of his signature blue shirt and wore a brand-new navy blue robe, but it was still difficult to hide his sour atmosphere.

Seeing that Ye Yu and Feng Tielu were waiting for him in the palace, they asked the two of them what was the matter.

Feng Tielu didn't mention the ghost face flower, and he didn't bother the two masters for anything, but only asked about other things about "Zhu Disgusting Beast".

Or eat people with short mouths and short hands, Lao Zhou didn't sell Guan Zi this time, and talked about some heard.

But it is said that this "Zhu Yan" is not a beast, but a kind of wild ape, commonly known as "barefoot fairy", similar to people, digging holes and dwelling, brutal by nature, like to eat human brains, live in the valley where flowers and fruits are flourishing, full of treasures, especially the feet are particularly precious, but in recent years, most of the communities on the side of the mountain have been slaughtered by the cultivators who collect medicine and seek treasures, and it is difficult to find traces.

Feng Tielu heard this and relaxed slightly.

Ye Mo originally planned to pick a herb called "Xun Artemisia" for the second thing, but the post on the Guidao Hall recorded that this grass grew in the Phantom Light Cave, but there was no detailed description, and there was no corresponding record in the "Fang Yu Zhi", so he also consulted Lao Zhou, but the old man asserted after hearing that he couldn't do this work, the Phantom Light Cave was an underground cave, the terrain was intricate, and there was no person who was familiar with its way to lead it, and it was a self-defeating way to go down, not to mention that there were several kinds of strange beasts and monsters infested.

Ye Su was poured a basin of cold water, although he was anxious to find his shadow, but he couldn't risk his life, so he had to stop for the time being.

I can only wait for a while to return to the Taoist Hall and then release the deeds, and find an opportunity to try again.

......

After separating from Feng Tielu under the Datong archway, he went to Dongcheng at night, and he wanted to go to Taipinglou to inquire about his father's news.

Walking on the road, Ye Yu pondered the strange dream he had when he first arrived in Taiping City.

At first, he didn't take it seriously, but since he consulted Old Master Zhang, learned that his shadow may have been lost in the dream of Monk Huaigen, and then asked the money shopkeeper, the mystery in his heart has always lingered.

Especially in the morning, when I heard Feng Tielu talk about the ecstasy of the floating soul, he would experience all kinds of past lives in floating dreams, such as returning to the light and self-learning, and he felt that this matter was even more strange.

In fact, whether it was turning into a moth or begging, he was just surprised, not entangled.

What he cared about most was that he saw in his dream that his father had brought a baby out of the rubble, and that the couple had died in the fire.

If, according to Qingfeng, he has died once, does it mean that he has also had floating dreams, looking back on the past of his life, and that couple are his parents who he has never met?

Now his mother is still asleep, and his father left him to Kunlun alone, and there is no way to verify this.

Although he has a very bad impression of the "Blue Old Monster", this old guy's analysis is indeed reasonable, his father's trip to Kunlun is not as simple as picking spiritual root fruits and searching for fragments of heavenly books.

Thinking of this, he took out the wood knife again, turned over and looked at the sheepskin wrapped around the handle, but still did not see anything strange, so he had to put it away anew.

It's a mess, a mess.

Nightmuffle sighed and pulled her thoughts back to the moment.

This time when he came to the Taiping Building, in order to avoid being thrown out on the spot, he calmed his tone, saw Lu Ding, who was sitting behind the counter like a clay statue reading a book, and asked a few words, but there was still no news from the old monster Lan, so he had to come and leave in a gray manner.

"Whose family is this child?"

A bald man who had just come out of the back kitchen spat out a puff of cigarette, looked out the door, and asked casually.

Lu Ding shook his head expressionlessly and did not make a sound.

......

Inside Kusui Temple.

Zhao Xixi squatted under the old locust tree, eating the steamed buns brought back by the night drunk, silent.

Life has suddenly changed dramatically, his brother has disappeared, he has lost his mother, and he has no relatives, and it is not an exaggeration to show this performance.

Ye Mo didn't say much, just sat there in a daze with her.

It is precisely because his life has been turned upside down overnight that he understands the feelings of the little girl at this moment, and it is useless to say more.

At that time, his only friend, the "fool" who even caught grasshoppers and had to compete with him for the size of the "fool", was kidnapped by the people of the Great Zhou Youchasi, his mother had a big quarrel with his father, and left home alone for half a month, saying that he went out to relax, but when he came back, he was seriously injured, and soon fell into a coma, and his waking time became less and less.

He actually knew that she must have gone to find Xiaochun.

It's all because of him, if he didn't need someone to protect him, his father would never stand idly by, maybe his mother wouldn't be hurt, and maybe people would be able to get it back.

Many possibilities were ultimately not made because of his existence.

There is no substitute for this pain, regret and self-blame.

He still remembered that he was like a little girl at that time, hiding in the cave of the scriptures and not coming out, not thinking about tea and dinner, as if he had been drained of all his strength.

It wasn't until one day that his father suddenly told him that Xiao Chun was locked up in a place in Yongdu, where there were powerful ancient gods guarding him, and it was difficult for him to rescue him alone, so he lifted his spirits and began to practice desperately.

After half an hour, it was getting dark, and the night breeze suddenly rose.

Yeyu stood up, patted the dust, stretched out his hand towards Zhao Xixi, and pulled her up: "Don't think too much, your brother may be back soon, only you can tell him everything that happened"

The little girl's eyes were slightly bright, and she nodded slightly, although she looked like a girl from the outside, but her demeanor was still childish and innocent, ignorant.

The two returned to the meditation room in the backyard, lit an oil lamp, and leaned against the corner to chat.

In order to distract the little girl, Ye Mo idle some hearsay funny stories and some anecdotes about the past.

At the beginning of the first shift, the two fell asleep in their clothes, and the little girl woke up several times and cried again.

Seeing that this was not a solution, Ye Yu suddenly thought of an idea, and felt that he could give it a try, so he called Zhao Xixi and said: "It's just death, you are sad and useless, I have learned a method of refining the form and calming the nerves, you can try to practice, or it can help you fall asleep and forget your sorrow for a while."

The little girl wiped away her tears and nodded slightly.

Ye Yu told him in detail about the "Moon Reflection Method" in the "Back to the Light and the Moon" he had studied, and pointed out a few tricks, so that she could gaze at the moon with her heart and send it to the palace empty, like the moon and meditate.

Zhao Xixi is now obedient to him, and has regarded Yefu as his only reliance, so he did not hesitate to do it according to the law.

I didn't expect it to be effective when I didn't practice much.

I saw that in the dark corner, a layer of silver light like snowflakes faintly emanated from her body, and her expression gradually changed from frightened to serene.

Ye Su was a little surprised when he saw this.

That's a little too fast!

He stared at Zhao Xixi like a monster, and his heart was very shocked.

He can be said to have the deepest understanding of this method.

Because of the other martial arts cheats and internal martial arts methods in the Hidden Gate Arsenal, he has no effect after practicing, except for this exercise.

But he clearly remembered that he had been practicing hard for three months before he broke through the first return to the light and stepped into the realm of this double casting.

But I didn't expect that the little girl only took less than a stick of incense to become a matter of course.

This is really more popular than a person.
