And at this time, Xuanzang had just walked out of Luoyang. .

He gritted his mouth and asked a caravan from Luoyang to Shanzhou to take him for a ride. Then he lay on a mule cart filled with silk material and thatched, looking at the sky with a little blank eyes.

The autumn is clear and the innocent blue of Luoyang!

Xuanzang sighed silently in his heart.

Twenty miles after leaving Luoyang, the road was not that flat, and the mule cart gradually began to bump. When it rolled over the stones and uneven roads, the whole car creaked, as if it was about to fall apart at any time.

Xuanzang was still looking at the sky with a little godlessness.

The merchants and guards of the caravan cast strange eyes at him from time to time, not knowing what the half monk was thinking.

The sun is warm, and it makes people not want to open their eyes. But the road gradually becomes deserted, withered and yellow grass and bark fall off, and the sun becomes a little hot for some reason.

Xuanzang licked his chapped lips without moving.

He remembered that before he left, he told his master who raised him about the meeting with Anyang that night. His experiences and insights in the fishing village that day were profound and conscientious. He suddenly realized what he realized, but was refuted by his master!

Those Buddhist principles that masters taught him since childhood but were overturned by Anyang with reasonable and well-founded principles. He thought that his master would suddenly realize the fallacy like him, and then regarded Anyang as a master, but it turned out that he began to doubt himself.

Did you do something wrong?

Did something go wrong when I conveyed it?

Otherwise, why can the truths that Anyang said can easily convince a person, but cannot convince his wise and wise master in his heart?

Anyang said that everything in the world has the Dharma of all things. Buddhism can help people be clear but cannot replace all things. Master said that as long as you practice the Mahayana of Buddhism, you will get all truths. Anyang said that Buddhism cannot surpass all dharmas, but Master said that Buddhism is the highest; Anyang said that people at the beginning have no good or evil, and the acquired environment creates life, but Master said that the newborn descended to the world is holy, but gradually becomes dirty by the world...

He fell into confusion for a moment, not knowing who is right or wrong.

On one hand, he is a master who educates himself since childhood, on the other hand, on the other hand, on the other hand, on the other hand, on the other hand, on the other hand, on the other hand, the facts that are almost in front of him...

He was entangled, had a headache, and felt a little powerless!

Suddenly, there seemed to be a shackle that imprisoned me and the world. The shackle was firm and invisible. I never discovered its existence in my life! It was not until that day that I saw the fishing village and talked with Anyang in the middle of the night that I realized that there were so many things in this world that I had never seen before, so many wonderful cultures, and my previous cognition seemed to be my own!

But... the master instilled in himself.

Xuanzang was a silent person since he was a child. He loved to think, but he never seemed to have never dared to think about this.

But why don’t you dare? He can’t say it.

Just like he is a disciple of Mahayana Buddhism, Anyang seems to have a better understanding of Mahayana Buddhism than himself. However, Anyang does not admire this. He both appreciates and refutes both Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism.

Later, the master told him to remove the pig demon. He still knew that he could not beat the pig demon, but he still went.

As expected, he almost died at the hands of the pig demon.

Fortunately, Miss Duan appeared in time and held the pig demon, otherwise she would have turned into a roasted corpse in the stove!

At that time, he thought that Anyang was really accurate and that he was really "someone helped him", but at the same time, this cold prediction made him begin to think deeply about the deep meaning of Anyang's sentence "This was arranged by some people with great effort"!

Could it be that it is really destined to be in the dark?

Or is it possible...

Then he returned to the town and found that he was underestimating Anyang. It turned out that it was not only Miss Duan who helped him subdue the pig demon, but also the demon king Sun Wukong five hundred years ago. The demon king Sun Wukong was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain at this time!

Anyang is waiting for himself under the Five Elements Mountain... He has never mentioned this to his master.

The master asked himself to go to the Five Elements Mountain and then he went.

This is on the way to the Five Elements Mountain.

He suddenly found that the convoy was slowing down, and the merchants' expressions became more and more serious. The caravan guards dismounted and walked with the caravan, as if they were entering a rampant area of ​​bandits.

But here is only a few dozen miles from Luoyang, and Luoyang is a big city. How could any bandits dare to commit crimes here?

Xuanzang raised his head and asked a guard beside him: "Sir, how could you ask what happened? Why are you so panicked?"

"It's not panic." The guard said, turning his head to look at the forest on the right. "It's just that there has been a natural disaster recently, and the ground is full of famine. We have been robbed by hungry people who are anxious from this land. Last time, the hungry people robbed caravans of food and property. Everyone wants to be careful."

Xuanzang frowned and said naively: "Such a large caravan, the hungry people dare not do anything..."

"Ha! They are not willing to rob them if they are not a big caravan!" The guard said exaggeratedly, and said, "It is only a big caravan that is rich enough and has enough food for them to eat! They are all hungry people, how can they care about how many people we have? Anyway, they will die if they can't get food. It's easier to be slaughtered by our brothers than to starve to death!"

"So that's how it is." Xuanzang said a little lowly, then withdrew his gaze and stopped talking.

He suddenly remembered what Anyang said

The world is wrong.

The caravan continued to move forward, and as he left Luoyang further and further, he would see everything he saw along the way, and because he walked slower, his experience was much deeper than that of Anyang.

Xuanzang was able to "achieve great enlightenment" in the plot and go to India to seek the true scriptures to save the world. It was not only because of Miss Duan's death, but also touched him a lot.

The mule cart was still shaking and creaking, but Xuanzang didn't dare to lie on the thatch anymore and stared blankly.

The sky above the head was still high and the clouds were bright and charming, but there was a little dryness, as if wind and sand were blowing on the face, like an invisible knife passing by the face.

***************************

Anyang walked out a hundred miles again, reached the junction of Shaanxi and Qin, and stopped to rest in a temple.

This is a standard Taoist temple, and it is not as different from Buddhism and Taoism as in later generations. This era clearly distinguishes the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism. Taoism lives much better than Buddhism, at least with the support of the laws of the king. In addition to the Three Pure Ones of Taoism, the temple worships mainly Arctic gods. This is also the trend of this era. The Arctic Ziwei Emperor and the Four Saints of the Arctic under his seat are generally praised.

Anyang first greeted the Taoist priests in the courtyard and found that there were two practitioners who had entered the sect, but he did not care much and began to pay homage to the gods worshipped in the hall.

Taoism does not have strict requirements on etiquette. Anyang just bowed and began to look at the statue of the gods.

There are gods in this world, so there are really fluctuations in divine power on the statues. Anyang, who practices ancient nerves, is particularly sensitive to this, so he dare not act rashly. But it is obvious that the Arctic gods are declining, and at least the divine power on the statues is so dim that they are not worthy of their status in the mortal world, and they are not even as good as the statues in other temples Anyang has seen along the way.

Moreover, the statue of the Zhenjun, the Great Marshal Tianpeng, which is in a very central position and is in front, has been completely dim and dull. Anyang doesn’t know what happened to him, but the Zhenwu Zhenjun, who is the last four saints in the North Pole, has the brightest divine power, chasing the Ziwei Emperor.

Anyang pursed his lips and said nothing.

Rest in the temple for a night, the next morning, he bid farewell to the temple and continued to embark on the road to the Five Elements Mountain. He walked very slowly, while studying, practicing, experiencing this era, and thinking about the background of this world.

As soon as he crossed the border and left Henan County and entered Shaanxi and Qin, he heard a news that something strange happened in Nanzheng, Shaanxi. The cause was a large lake in Nanzheng. This lake was originally clear and green, and the lake water was sweet and cold, which provided drinking water for countless years for the people of Nanzheng. However, for some reason, there was a problem with the lake water recently. Once people drink it, they would forget all their information. Whether they see a doctor or take medicine or ask exorcists to exorcize, practitioners will not work.

Many exorcists have heard of the news and rushed to Nanzheng to find out what happened. Their popularity has even exceeded the rumor that "the pig demon was the first exorcist in the central part of the day before yesterday.

Anyang calculated the time and it was still early, so he ordered the puppet to turn to Nanzheng, wanting to find out.

He always remembered that the extraordinary people in Chinese mythology took the right path and regarded themselves as orthodox. Some strange methods such as Miaojiang and overseas were denied as crooked ways. Even if they were poisoned, they were plagues. The chance of such poisons that clear people's memories was very low. And it was not easy to pollute such a large lake.

This matter is very strange.

A few days later, he arrived in Nanzheng.

Sure enough, there were many practitioners gathered here, some of which were exorcists, and some were not. An Yangguang encountered several waves on the road, and people from various factions were all there.

They all held the banner of finding out and clearing the troubles of the people of Nanzheng, but I am afraid that most people came for this lake!

A kind of water that is exactly the same as ordinary water, cannot be distinguished, but will forget everything after drinking it. It is simply a good choice for home travel and killing people and robbing people! Not to mention the research value contained in it, maybe there are treasures and other things.

Following two couples exorcists, Anyang successfully arrived at the edge of this lake called Nanhu.

This lake is very beautiful. The lake water is as green as jade on the earth. It is surrounded by mountains and is built in the ancient Nanzheng City by mountains and lakes. Judging from the city, most of the people in this city really have to rely on this lake to supply water.

At this time, many practitioners had gathered here, and even walking on the street, there would be practitioners passing by Anyang. In just one day, they opened up Anyang a lot of horizons, gained a deeper understanding of the world's practice system, and became more curious about this lake, because he felt that there might be something else attracting these practitioners.

At this time, there were new rumors about the water of Nanhu Lake in Nanzheng City.
