Chapter 181 Chapter 38 The Wheel of Fortune

The sky was foggy in the afternoon, and the scorching sun for nearly ten consecutive days made the ground extremely dry and dusty.At this time, a dark cloud drifted over, and there were strong winds in the mountains and forests, and there was a faint sign of heavy rain. Looking up at the dark clouds above his head, Lu Yun said to himself: "The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is all over the building. Does this mean that the world's wind and rain are coming soon? Maybe it's time for me to settle some things." After the words fell, a strange breath came from not far away.

Looking carefully, there is a small temple standing beside an ancient road that goes from south to north.A man and a woman were standing in the temple at this time, and they seemed to have the idea of ​​sheltering from the rain.Thinking of this, Lu Yun realized that the sky had started to rain at this time, and the bean-sized raindrops changed from sparse to dense, and it turned into a heavy rain in the blink of an eye.Without thinking too much, Lu Yun drifted away and quickly entered the small temple. Smiling and nodding, Lu Yun looked at the two of them carefully, and found that the woman was wearing a delicate and small mask, which only covered a quarter of her face, and there was a bit of resentment in her bright eyes. Coupled with the Yao nose and small mouth, the appearance seems very beautiful.And that man also had a mask on his face, which covered most of his face. His eyes were as cold as ice, and the moment he saw Lu Yun, a strange light flashed across his eyes.

Looking away at the ancient road in the distance, Lu Yun's expression was very calm, but he was extremely surprised in his heart, because he felt a sense of uneasiness in the man just now, which is extremely rare.Thinking about it carefully, Lu Yun found that there was a strange aura about this man, which was both familiar and uneasy. During the rainstorm, the three people in the small temple just looked around like that, and no one spoke. Except for the sound of wind, rain, and shaking branches, everything seemed very ordinary.At this time, a figure came in the rain on the ancient road to the south, and appeared outside the temple in a blink of an eye.Glancing at the three people in the temple, the figure let out a little surprise, and shot into the temple, standing on the left side of Lu Yun.

I saw that this was an old man with white hair and a childlike face. He couldn't tell the exact age, and he had an indescribable charm on his body. It seemed that his eyes could see through everything in the world, and any secrets were as transparent as paper in front of his eyes, without the slightest concealment.Seeing such a person for the first time, Lu Yun's heart was shocked, and while his mind was turning, the "void void trace" formula was cast instantly, and the whole person was like nothingness, and the breath of the whole body was completely hidden. The old man glanced at Lu Yun in surprise, and then at the masked man. There was a hint of puzzlement in Lu Yun's eyes, as if he was laughing or sighing, it was very complicated.His lips moved slightly, and the old man seemed to want to say something, but suddenly stopped, looking at the ancient road in the north.There, at this time, there was also a figure approaching quickly, appearing in the temple in an instant, it turned out to be the passing water who broke up with Lu Yun not long ago.

Seeing Lu Yun here, Paishuiliu looked very happy, but when he saw the old man, his expression changed, his eyes showed a rare look of vigilance, the air flowed through his body, and he entered a state of high alert.The old man looked at him with a smile, and said softly: "I haven't seen you for many years, why are you so unfriendly when we meet? I don't mean to trouble you, so don't be so nervous." After hearing the words, Paishuiliu slowly put away his posture, and said with a bit of vigilance: "I have to be careful in front of you. Although you never fight with others, your eyes see through many things that should not be seen through." Things always make people feel uncomfortable. This time you appear here, who are you here for?"

The old man looked at the heavy rain in front of him, smiled and said: "Why did you come, why did I come, so you are not worried? In fact, it doesn't matter whether you come or not, we will meet when we should meet, don't you think so? It's here, maybe today's rain is destined to change many things." Hearing this, the four people in the temple all looked away, and sure enough a black shadow floated over and appeared outside the temple in a blink of an eye. Lu Yun took a closer look at the person in front of him, and couldn't help being shocked. It turned out to be the Lord Motian of the Demon Realm. It was unexpected that he would appear here by such a coincidence.

Lord Motian walked into the small temple, glanced at the passing water and the masked man, and said with a smile: "Today is really a special day. There are a lot of experts here. It seems that there must be something extraordinary. Can you tell me, old friend, what happened today? What does it indicate?" The old man with a childish face smiled and said, "Since we meet, many things will naturally happen, why should you be in a hurry, when everyone is here, won't everything be understood?" Looking around, Lord Motian asked: "There are still people, I don't know how many are still short?" The old man smiled and said: "We will meet each other if we are destined. When will it go down, why not stand a little longer?" Hearing this, Lord Motian didn't ask any more questions, and stood quietly in the temple.

At this time, the passing water pulled Lu Yun and said: "Be careful today, and come close to me if you have something to do later, don't be reckless." Lu Yun glanced at him, and said with a flat expression: "Thank you for your concern, I will take care of your affairs Finished?" Paishuiliu looked at Lu Yun in amazement, and found that he was in front of him, but he couldn't feel a trace of breath.Shaking his head, Passing Water sighed: "It's half done, and the rest depends on God's will. Also, remember to answer my question in private later." Caressing the four spirit beasts on his shoulders, Lu Yun was obviously unpredictable, and said softly: "You may be even more disappointed if you know the result, why bother? Let's not talk about this, someone is here again. Today's rain is really strange, It seems that it fell specially for us." On the side, the old man said flatly: "Some people say that the sky is crying when it rains. In this way, is the rain today also crying for the people here?" Everyone was stunned , all looked at his figure with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

Outside the temple, a green figure rushed over at this time, and said softly as soon as he entered the temple: "It's a lot of wind and rain, but fortunately we finally found a shelter from the rain, otherwise it will be miserable if we stay in the rain all the time. Eh , So there are so many people here, I'm sorry, I'll take a place to hide too. Huh? You're here, Big Brother Dream Chaser, we meet again." Looking at Chen Yuluan in front of him, Lu Yun immediately noticed that her cultivation base had improved amazingly.At the second glance, Lu Yun's eyes fell on the purple bell on her waist, and there was a slight hint of surprise in his eyes, which immediately turned into a color of understanding.Nodding with a smile, Lu Yun asked, "Why did you come here alone? This is not a fun place, where is your brother?"

Chen Yuluan glanced at the surrounding people, and said with a light smile: "Senior brother and I joined the Demon Elimination Alliance as you said. You don't know, we almost made a joke when we first went, but finally the leader of Wen League came forward to rescue us, and we successfully joined the alliance This time we went around Dongting Lake. When we came back, the two leaders suddenly asked me to go back first. Unexpectedly, there was a heavy rain on the way, so we came here. How about you, how are you doing this time? "Looking at her carefree smile, Lu Yun couldn't help feeling a little emotional, and said softly, "I'm fine. Come, come to me, let's have a good chat."

At this time, Lord Motian asked: "Old friend, do you still have to wait? The rain is just like what you said, it won't stop for a while, you won't let us wait until the rain stops?" The old man glanced into the distance, He said calmly: "The rain has made you a little upset. In this case, why don't you take a look at the name of this small temple and what kind of Bodhisattva is it offering?" As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the temple was stunned, and no one cared about this matter.At this moment, the old man asked, and everyone realized the strangeness of this. Since there are temples, there are monks, why did everyone come here for a long time, but did not see a monk?Turning around, everyone looked at the small temple. Through the temple gate, they could vaguely see a big Buddha enshrined inside, which was somewhat different from other Bodhisattvas. Looking up, I looked at the plaque on the gate of the temple. On it were the three golden characters of "Temple of Remnants".Looking inside, the words "Mie Shen Temple" on a yellowed wooden plaque shone with a strange light.Lord Motian laughed and said: "Temple of Remnant God, Temple of Destroyer, hehe, interesting, it's a good name." Everyone was silent, as if they all felt the same way, but the old man said indifferently: "Since it's called Temple of Remnant God, that temple Is the offering still a Bodhisattva?" Hearing the words, everyone felt right, since it was named the Mie Temple, what would be offered in it? Out of curiosity, everyone gathered their eyes together, trying to see the big Buddha's head clearly, but something strange happened at this moment.Based on the cultivation of everyone present, they just couldn't see it clearly. How could this not surprise Lord Motian and others?In fact, there was still someone who saw the head of the Buddha clearly, and that person was Lu Yun.It's just that after he saw it clearly, he was even more shocked than the others. I saw him staring blankly at the Buddha statue alone, with an incomprehensible look in his eyes.After a long time, Lu Yun withdrew his gaze, but suddenly heard Chen Yuluan say: "It's so strange, there was the sound of knocking on the wooden fish, why didn't you hear it just now?" Everyone listened carefully for a moment, and there was indeed the faint sound of the wooden fish, but it was hidden in the wind and rain. In the voice, it is not clear. After searching carefully, it was soon discovered that the voice was coming from the Mie Shen Temple, and it became clearer and clearer. There was a mysterious force in it, which attracted everyone to slowly become intoxicated.Suddenly, Lord Motian and Passing Water gave a loud shout at the same time, and the figure retreated quickly, and the masked man also pulled the woman beside him back a foot, with a look of horror in his eyes.The only ones who didn't move were Lu Yun and Chen Yuluan. They seemed to be caught in the wonderful sound of the wooden fish, and they seemed to be detached and unmoved. Lord Motian looked at Lu Yun and the two, and asked the old man in surprise: "What's going on, why don't the two of them feel at all?" It’s because they feel better than you, but they have their own destiny, and they will find out later.” He glanced at the old man puzzled, while Lord Motian, Passing Water, and the masked man and woman all looked at Lu Yun and carefully observed their changes. Time passed in the sound of heavy rain, and Chen Yuluan, who had been silent for a long time, began to change her face. A strange smile appeared on her face, layers of blue light flowed around her, and a magical cloak appeared on her body.With the appearance of this shawl, the sacred energy in the small temple exploded, and Chen Yuluan's whole body shone with brilliance. A stream of purple gas emanated from the purple bell around her waist, and quickly formed a wonderful purple nebula in midair, covering the entire world. her head. Seeing all this, everyone's eyes widened, obviously already aware of the changes in her body.It's just that no one can say clearly whether the final result is good or bad.At this time, the sound of the wooden fish suddenly became high-pitched, and each sound carried the power to shake mountains and rivers, hitting everything around the entire small temple.The rain in the sky melted into mist one after another, forming a strange water curtain outside the small temple, with various brilliance faintly shining, and countless fonts swaying in front of Chen Yuluan's eyes. With the appearance of this miraculous scene, Chen Yuluan's eyes shone with a blue and purple color brilliance, the purple bell around his waist began to shake, the sound grew from small to loud, and finally burst into a sky-shattering sound, followed by the rhythmic sound of the wooden fish Ups and downs.At this moment, a strange scene appeared between heaven and earth. I saw the colorful rays of light flickering around the small temple, and the innumerable spells of various fonts in mid-air overlapped and superimposed, and finally converged into two large golden characters. Huo Ran was the "remnant god" "Two words. The word Canshen flashed, and the whole world was lit up. Immediately, the two characters changed into inches in size and shot directly at Chen Yuluan.There was a golden light flashing on her forehead, and those two characters disappeared indifferently.Immediately, the purple bell on her body automatically flew into the air, circling and dancing around Chen Yuluan. Countless strange runes issued from the purple bell, and finally disappeared into Chen Yuluan's body one by one.A chuckle came out of her mouth at this time, and with a move of her jade hand, the purple bell returned to her hand, and then the whole person floated down. Staring blankly at all this, everyone noticed that Chen Yuluan had changed at this time, her smile was still so sweet, but there was an invisible majesty in her expression, it seemed that she had a natural charming temperament, which made her People are in awe.Lord Motian looked at the old man indifferently, and asked: "What's going on, what did all that just indicate?" The old man looked at Chen Yuluan with complicated eyes, and sighed: "The first time I saw her, I wondered why she came here. Although she was destined to have noble people to help her, this alone is not enough to compare with you. However, it was only at this time that I realized that she was the inheritor of the 'Remnant God Art', which was really unexpected." "Remnant God Art? Is it the thing that disappeared on her forehead just now? What's so strange about that thing, tell me quickly." With a little surprise, Lord Motian asked.On the side, Lao Shuiliu and the couple also looked at the old man, obviously wanting to know.Shaking his head lightly, the old man said: "The secrets of heaven must not be revealed. Some things need to be understood slowly. If I say too much, I won't be sure. Let's take a look at the other one now. The things on him may be more interesting." At this moment, Chen Yuluan was standing a few feet away from Lu Yun. She heard the conversation just now, but there was no slight fluctuation in her eyes. She just watched Lu Yun's changes.At this time, the sound of the wooden fish continued, but the frequency of the ups and downs changed, becoming smaller and smaller, appearing and disappearing from time to time as if it wanted to go back.However, whenever everyone thought that the voice had disappeared, it suddenly became louder and louder, as if reminding that everything was not over yet. Amidst the sound of wind and rain, Lu Yun stood still, and the eyes of the four spirit beasts on his shoulders were slightly closed, with a look of resting their eyes.From the beginning to now, Lu Yun stood like that, with no expression on his face.The only change is that Lu Yun's eyes have returned to calm from the initial shock, and the whole person is like a ghost in the void, as if it does not exist. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky. The frightening lightning and the deafening thunder made everyone in the temple tremble, but Lu Yun's eyes became bright at this moment.After the lightning, a thunder fell, shaking the earth trembling.In the small temple, the wooden plaque engraved with the three characters of Mie Shen Temple suddenly fell down, and when it was turned over, the three characters flashing strange lights suddenly emitted three beams of light, appearing on Lu Yun's chest in the shape of the character "Pin". Without dodging, Lu Yun endured all this quietly. The three beams of light easily penetrated his body and merged into one behind him, forming a vortex. on the vest.Pain began to appear on Lu Yun's calm face, and the brilliance of his whole body rushed wildly towards the vortex in the vest, as if there was a terrifying force there that wanted to swallow him up. Unprecedented pain fell on him, and Lu Yun suddenly realized that this might be God's curse again.Thinking of this, Lu Yun was furious, and an aura of unwillingness erupted all over his body. The five-color light in his eyes flickered, and he tried his best to control the true essence outside his body so that it would not approach the vortex. Slowly, Lu Yun's body gradually returned to calm, and the vortex on his back gradually shrank, and finally melted into his body, hovering in the sea of ​​Qi in his dantian. Surprised, Lu Yun paid close attention to the changes in his body, but he didn't notice that a strange light suddenly shot out from the eyes of the Buddha statue in Mie Shen Temple opposite, which happened to hit his eyes.With a tremor, Lu Yun's whole body shook violently, causing the four spirit beasts on his shoulders to fly up suddenly, staring at him curiously with blood-red eyes.At this time, Lu Yun only felt that an extremely powerful thing was invading his consciousness nerves, and the fear generated by that irresistible force made him feel more terrible than death.Resisting and struggling hard, Lu Yun tried to get rid of the shackles of this force, but unfortunately he couldn't move at all, he could only let the unknown things continue to enter the depths of his brain. In the temple, everyone looked at Lu Yun trembling, but there was no other change, and they didn't know what happened to him.Others couldn't see the strange light emitted from the Buddha statue's eyes, so they felt that Lu Yunkong was trembling there for some reason.Time passed in the sound of wind and rain, and just when everyone was a little impatient, another bolt of lightning struck down from the sky. This time, it actually pierced through the roof of the small temple, and struck Lu Yun in one fell swoop, causing his whole body to flash with lightning. His face was distorted and ferocious, and his appearance was extremely painful and extremely terrifying. With the addition of Tianlei, Lu Yun's body was filled with ghostly aura, and the demonic aura was terrifying. At this moment, the two evil magic formulas in his body were forced out of his body by the holy Tianlei, and his whole body was completely controlled by a majestic aura.At this moment, the "Heaven and Earth Promise" formula hidden in the deepest part of Lu Yun's body was completely natural, breaking through the limit of "Heaven, Earth and Spring" on the seventh floor, and began to move towards the eighth floor "Invincible". When the brilliance faded away, the ghost energy and devil energy in Lu Yun's body returned automatically.But the vortex in his dantian was still circling at this time, and it seemed to have become a conscious thing, which was not under Lu Yun's control.Regarding this, Lu Yun was a little worried at first, but soon he discovered that the vortex had no effect on him at all. On the contrary, when he was running his true energy, it was several times faster than before. While thinking, Lu Yun suddenly had a thought, looked up at the Buddha statue, and saw a loud noise in the Mie Temple, and the mysterious Buddha statue split open automatically, turned into pieces of rubble, and collapsed.And that wonderful wooden fish sound also disappeared at this moment. Staring blankly at all this, Lu Yun recalled the mysterious thing that had begun to invade his brain.It seemed to be a kind of consciousness, and it was like a memory, but he couldn't tell what it was at this time.It's just a faint feeling that there is something more in the depths of my mind, and that thing seems to be sealed by some mysterious force, and I can't open it at all. Seeing that everything had returned to calm, Passing Water asked, "It's over like this. What's going on? Old ghost, you have sharp eyes. Tell me what you see?" The old man looked at Lu Yun quietly. After a while, he sighed and said: "The wheel of fortune has finally started to turn. The fateful meeting is doomed to the intersection of previous lives. The beloved one is far away, and the sun of the moon has risen." Savoring his words carefully, Passing Water and Lord Motian all had doubts on their faces, obviously they couldn't figure it out.And Lu Yun vaguely understood it in his heart, but he couldn't say what it was.Glancing at the mysterious old man, Lu Yun shook his body and flew towards the Temple of Destroyer. Behind him, Chen Yuluan followed closely, apparently having the same thoughts as him.When the rest of the people saw this, they all followed, and in a blink of an eye, except for the old man, all six of them entered the Temple of Extinguishing God. Looking carefully, besides the collapsed Buddha statue, there is only an old monk with white eyebrows sitting cross-legged in the corner, and a wooden fish is placed one foot in front of him, but he has stopped beating.Lu Yun glanced at the old monk with white eyebrows, and sighed slightly in his heart, because he had already seen that the monk with white eyebrows was dead.But Chen Yuluan beside him walked up to the monk, knelt down respectfully and kowtowed three times.The four people including Paishuiliu and Mozun all looked disdainful when they saw this, as if they didn't take it seriously, but when Chen Yuluan got up, the wooden fish on the ground suddenly shattered.The powder fell to the ground, forming a line of small characters. Chen Yuluan let out a soft cry, which attracted everyone's attention.Looking forward, everyone found such a line of writing on the ground: Temple of Remnant God, Temple of Destroyer God, Destiny Meets, Reincarnation Turns.On the lunar day, there is an origin, thousands of eons, present in this life.Against the sky, ghosts and gods hinder, success and failure, all ancestors will be destroyed. Watching all this quietly, everyone had different expressions, but Lu Yun carefully understood the last four sentences.The road against the sky, ghosts and gods blocking the way, success and failure, Wan Mie Zu - this passage is obviously implying to himself, the journey against the sky, ghosts and gods blocking the way, between success and failure, is the unpredictable Wan Mie Zu.What is Wan Mie Zu?Lu Yun thought for a while and couldn't think of anything, so he couldn't help but look up at the others. At this time, Lord Motian said: "It's hard to guess this shit, I'd better find that old guy, he's the best at it." After speaking, the figure disappeared in a flash, and the others also reacted when they heard the words, and hurriedly followed Surrounding the old man in the middle, he looked at him with puzzled eyes. Looking at the six people around him indifferently, the old man's eyes fell on the masked man, and said softly: "It is a bit of fate to meet today, I will send you a few words, I hope you can remember. If a person lives because of hatred, Then when hatred disappears, his life will come to an end. If a person lives for love, then his life will become happiness because of love. When hatred is far away and love is close, you still have a chance to turn back , if you can't leave, the love is gone, and when you look back alone, there will be nothing but tears." The masked man's eyes turned cold, and he listened quietly, seemingly unmoved.Seeing this, the old man sighed softly: "The key of fate will not escape the lock of fate!" After speaking, he glanced at the woman with a bit of regret and heartache in his eyes. Looking away, the old man looked at Chen Yuluan and said with a smile: "Your life is happier than ordinary people, so I won't say more. Keep your innocence, and good luck will always follow you." Chen Yuluan said with a sweet smile: "Thank you, someone told me this before, I will remember." The old man nodded in relief, his eyes shifted to Lord Motian, and he said calmly: "I have been an old friend for many years, there is no need to say some things anymore ...Let me remind you, when the five evil soldiers appear in the world at the same time, if you can give up, there is still a chance of life, otherwise you will be lost forever." Lord Motian's eyes turned cold, and he said with a bit of pride: "At that time, it is still unclear who will win and who will lose." The old man looked at him with complicated eyes, his lips moved slightly, but in the end he only said: " Anyway, you can't win, this is my last advice to you." Lord Motian's eyes changed slightly, but then disbelief appeared. His eyes moved to the face of Passing Water, and the two looked at each other for a long time. The old man just said indifferently: "Your persistence, in the end, it is only the pain of countless people. Maybe you have known the result for a long time, but you I don’t want to give up. In the future, will you regret it?” Pashuiliu’s face was startled, but he quickly regained his composure and said firmly, “Even if I regret it, I will do that, because this is my duty.” The old man smiled bitterly, and said softly: "I gave you this smile on behalf of thousands of people, I hope you will remember it. When you regret it, remember that there were thousands of people smiling at you, It's just that the smile is very bitter." Paishuiliu's body shook, his eyes burst into light, and he snorted coldly: "Have you forgotten my identity? It's useless to tell me these things." The old man asked back: "Really, If that's the case, why are you excited?" Paishuiliu's face was blank, and he didn't know how to refute for a while. Walking in front of Lu Yun, the old man looked at him with strange eyes, and asked, "You are thinking about what I will tell you, aren't you? However, what do you want to know most in your heart?" Looking at him calmly, Lu Yun Yun said lightly: "I don't know, maybe I have doubts in my heart, but I won't say it, because it can't be said." The old man said clearly: "I understand what you mean, but you should also know that if a person keeps a secret for too long, it is not a good thing." "But some secrets need to be guarded for a lifetime, don't they?" Looking at him indifferently, Lu Yun's expression was very calm, and his voice was very indifferent. Staring quietly into Lu Yun's eyes for a long time, the old man said: "Perhaps this is the reason why you took this road. If it were someone else, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to go to the end, but you understand what your end is." Is it?" Lu Yun was startled, his eyes fluctuated slightly, and then he regained his composure, and said calmly, "I don't know, but you don't know either." The old man's face changed slightly, and he was silent for a long time before he said: "Lu Yun is Lu Yun, he is worthy of being that person's apprentice. It's just that when you fulfill your wish one day, you will find that you are still at the mercy of fate. It's time to go." After speaking, he floated up and shot into the rain.Lu Yun looked at the distant figure of the old man, and said loudly, "You are wrong. When I am above the heaven and earth, nothing can manipulate me, including the God of Destiny, and neither can it!" In the heavy rain, there was a faint questioning voice, but unfortunately it was suppressed by this oath-like voice.When the breeze blew everything away, Lord Motian took a look at a few people and left in a flash.But Passing Water looked at Lu Yun in amazement, and asked: "You are the former No. 1 in the Sixth Academy, Lu Yun from Yiyuan in Xishu? It is said that you are proficient in the four sects of Buddhism, demons, ghosts, and Taoism. Really?" Seeing a trace of expectation in his eyes, Lu Yun was slightly puzzled.However, he didn't think too much at this time, and just said calmly: "I am indeed Lu Yun, but I am not the number one in the Sixth Academy, and I am not a disciple of Yiyuan." Hearing the disappointment in his tone, Passing Water said: "This It's nothing, you have no future in the Sixth Academy with your cultivation." Beside him, Chen Yuluan tugged on Lu Yun's sleeve, and said with a happy smile: "It turns out that Chasing Dreams is Lu Yun, Wen Buming and Gui Wudao often mention your name. I've heard about you, you really are Amazing!" Smiling faintly, a trace of imperceptible bitterness flashed in Lu Yun's eyes, and he said softly: "The past is like the wind, and it has long been worth mentioning. Well, the rain has stopped, and we should go." Glancing at the masked man, he jumped up and flew out. Watching Lu Yun, Passing Water, and Chen Yuluan leave, the masked man said coldly, "Lu Yun, I will definitely see you for a while next time we meet!" After speaking, he took the woman beside him and headed towards the direction of the Yellow River . The rain stopped, the wind stopped, and the small temple still stood beside the ancient road.But next time, will these people meet here again on a rainy day?Maybe there will be no such opportunity again, after all, some things only happen once in a lifetime.The gears of fate are constantly turning, once you miss it, you can never go back.
