? ?Thanks to yangzhigang and Master Phoenix for the reward.
Zhao Ran looked in the direction pointed by Zhu Qigu and saw that there were no weeds or shrubs on the hill. Only a large banyan tree grew on the top of the hill. The trunk was thick and branched out, with countless roots buried deep in the ground. The branches and leaves were dense like a canopy. .
At the top of the canopy of this banyan tree, an old monk with a wrinkled face and a yellow robe sat cross-legged, his hands clasped together, and his eyes closed in silence.
This was the first Buddhist monk Zhao Ran had seen in this world. He was inevitably curious, so he focused his eyes and looked carefully. I saw that the old monk and the banyan tree under his seat were integrated, but there seemed to be no air movement around him, and he looked like a dead person. It was so weird that Zhao Ran began to feel uneasy.
"Sister, this monk is a bit weird." Zhao Ran couldn't help but said.
Zhu Qigu was slightly surprised: "You also saw it? How did you see it?"
Zhao Ran couldn't find a suitable description for a while, so he had to say: "I can't describe it, but it doesn't look like a living person"
Zhu Qigu nodded in approval: "You do have some eyesight!"
Zhao Ran asked: "How to do it? Can you beat me?"
Zhu Qigu didn't speak anymore and instead whispered: "Xiao Wuxiang Dharma is a very clever sect, but it's a pity that the bald donkey's realm is a little low. If you can understand it, it will be easier for you to watch it, and it will be a great experience." "
Seeing that Zhu Qigu was full of confidence, Zhao Ran felt at ease. He sat on the donkey's back and stared at each other.
Mr. Tong got off his horse and took a few steps forward calmly. He gently pointed the wooden stick in front of him and knocked it on the ground, making nine small shallow pits. He stepped forward, walked nine palace steps along the nine small pits, and then stopped at the middle palace position. After a while, Mr. Tong untied the big gourd from his back, took a sip of wine, wiped the wine stains on his beard and hair, sighed, put the gourd on his back again, and muttered: "Why bother It¡¯s really not worth it to risk your life in vain like this!¡±
After all this commotion, the old monk on the tree crown still closed his eyes and said nothing, as if he didn't notice the arrival of Tong Lao and others at all.
Zhu Qigu said impatiently: "There is such a bald donkey here, there is no one else, and it is obvious at a glance. Why should you bother to figure it out? It is really unnecessary!"
Tong Lao nodded and said: "It's better to be careful." After a pause, he shouted: "Fourth!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow passed by Zhao Ran and rushed towards the banyan tree, but it was the fourth senior brother who took action. The fourth brother was as fast as lightning. He had already crossed a hundred steps in just a few breaths. In a blink of an eye, he was under the hill. Then he suddenly jumped up and threw his whole body towards the old monk at the top of the tree crown. If Zhao Ran didn't have this kind of eyesight and didn't have the thin string to open his eyes to focus, he might not be able to distinguish the movements of the fourth senior brother except for a black shadow line in his eyes at this moment.
The fourth brother jumped up high, reaching a height of five or six feet, which was as high as the old monk on the tree crown.
The old monk finally opened his eyes, and two rays of white light burst out from his eyes, shooting at the fourth senior brother in the air. The fourth senior brother tapped his toes twice in the air, as if he were stepping on steps, and his body rose three feet higher again. The two white lights passed under the soles of his feet and hit a huge boulder in the distance, directly shattering the boulder.
The fourth senior brother was now one body taller than the old monk, and his right toe kicked directly towards his bald head. Just as he was about to kick him up, the old monk circled his arms, and a lotus blossomed above his head. The light was everywhere, crystal clear, and there were a few traces of pastel in the white and tender body, which was really beautiful.
When the lotus bloomed, a floral fragrance spread in all directions. Even Zhao Ran, who was a hundred steps away under the hill, could smell the faint sweetness. Zhao Ran only felt that the floral fragrance was extremely refreshing, peaceful and slightly tipsy. He smelled it like drinking something sweet and could not help but want to take a few more sips.
Tong Lao hummed low, the sound was like a bell, which woke Zhao Ran up from his drunkenness. Then he raised the wooden stick and circled it around his head. Several rounds of air waves visible to the naked eye surged out from the top of the wooden stick, covering him like a cover. , Zhu Qigu, Zhao Ran and the Hu family were surrounded by three people.
Zhao Ran suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Knowing that he had almost been plotted just now, he couldn't help but be afraid. Only now can I truly understand why the brothers of Wuji Academy were all frightened and inexplicable when they heard that they were going to assist the Taoist sect in walking and catching monsters and fighting. This matter is really not a joke, even if they are separated Even though he was so far away, he still couldn't avoid being almost injured.
Looking at the top of the tree, the fourth brother seemed to have been ejected by the lotus. He had no place to rely on in the air and fell diagonally towards the bottom of the tree.
The old monk finally stood up, with neither sadness nor joy on his face. He looked at the fourth senior brother who fell, his arms suddenly expanded by more than ten feet, and his palms were as big as giant basins, and he grabbed the fourth senior brother.
The fourth senior brother fell from the air. He saw that he was only three feet away from the ground. It seemed that he was about to be caught by the palm of his hand, but he suddenly stopped falling.With the momentum, his whole body was horizontal in the air, and he paused slightly - this movement was extremely uncoordinated, very awkward, and uncomfortable no matter how you looked at it. Zhao Ran felt extremely bored in his heart, his organs were surging, and he almost couldn't spit it out.
The old monk's palms were empty, and Zhao Ran finally heard the first word he uttered - "Eh!?"
The big sword that the Fourth Senior Brother had been holding was finally released. It just flew away from his arms, and when we saw him again, it was deeply embedded in a stone surrounded by the roots of the big banyan tree.
The entire banyan tree, including the old monk wearing a yellow robe and cassock on the canopy, disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared. There was only a monk in white sitting cross-legged on the entire hill. This monk is not very old and looks just like Zhao Ran. At this moment, the monk in white clothes was trembling all over, blood was flowing out from the corner of his mouth, and half of the monk's clothes were stained red. The big sword that the fourth senior brother had just issued was stuck in his heart.
The monk in white clothes put his hands together with difficulty, recited "Amitabha", and then said: "It turns out that you have seen through it a long time ago"
The fourth senior brother had no expression on his face and said coldly: "The technique is brilliant, but the level is too low. I'm just a monk, but I dare to come out and intercept him!" With a move of his hand, the big sword flew out from the white-clothed monk's heart, drawing a wonderful line. The arc fell into the scabbard.
The monk in white immediately threw himself to the ground and died.
The fourth brother didn't even look at it. He held the big sword in his arms and walked to the highest point of the hill. He remained motionless and looked into the distance. A gust of mountain wind blew by, causing the black clothes to flutter.
Zhao Ran couldn't help but feel happy about the handsome posture of the fourth senior brother. This guy knew how to pose. Zhu Qigu on the side snorted coldly: "Pretentious." Then she whispered to Zhao Ran: "I can't stand this about him."
Everyone went up the hill and came to the corpse of the monk in white. They saw that the monk's corpse was slowly dying like melting snow. Zhao Ran was surprised to see it and asked Zhu Qigu about the reason.
Zhu Qigu explained that monks who practice the formless technique have this kind of virtue, and their physical bodies will dissipate quickly after death. After the monk's body completely dissipated, the white cassock lay flat on the ground, with irregular protrusions inside, as if there were objects hidden inside.
The elder Tong lifted up the monk's robe with a wooden staff and immediately shook off a few scattered items. There is a Taoist book called "Five Mysterious Finger Techniques", several Taoist magical artifacts such as golden bells, whisks, Taoist rulers, etc. In addition, there are two jade tablets, a bottle of pills, a dozen coins, and a palm-sized gold leaf.
Mr. Tong stretched out his hand, and two jade tablets flew up into the air and were caught in his hands. Zhao Ran took a closer look and found that these two jade plaques were similar to those worn by Tong Lao, Zhu Qigu, and Fourth Senior Brother. They should be tokens for people in the Daomen Pavilion to confirm their identities.
"It's a Taoist priest from the Hengfu Hall of Baoning Prefecture." Mr. Tong took a look and threw the jade token to Zhu Qigu.
After looking at it, Zhu Qigu shook her head and said, "Zong Tenghua, Xing Tengqiu? I don't know them."
Tong Lao said: "These two people are walking in the Taoist gate of Baoning Mansion from Hengfu Hall. I have met the one named Zong. He is quite capable and good at using the Five Mysterious Fingers. He is a disciple of Master Liu Lian of Hengfu Hall. He was in a cave in Bashan two years ago. The ghosts were very troublesome. It was he who solved the case and went to the door alone to kill all the thirteen ghosts. I have never seen the other Xing Tengqiu. I heard that he was also a hero who has emerged in Hengfu Hall in the past two years. He once challenged Fourth Junior Brother, Fourth Junior Brother should know."
The fourth senior brother who was independent in the wind did not look back and said coldly: "My ability is so low that I can't even mention it."
Tong Lao smiled and then sighed: "I didn't expect that they were all folded here." After saying that, he gathered all the Taoist books, magical instruments, jade tablets and other items in his sleeves, and said: "It's time to practice the Xiaowuxiang method." In the hands of the demon monk, I am afraid that their bodies are no longer available, so I will return these things to Hengfu Hall later."
There was still a thin square of gold leaf on the ground. Mr. Tong also took it into the palm of his hand to check it. His face changed slightly when he saw it: "It turns out to be the demon monk from Wanfa Temple!"
