Chapter 474: What is a Buddha and What is a Demon?
At the foot of Wulong Mountain, on the bank of the Yellow River.
The water of the Yellow River comes from the west, the river is soupy, the mud and sand are all down, a gray-clothed figure, standing on a big rock, it is an old monk, holding a fishing rod, is fishing.
The old monk stood motionless by the river like a log, he had been fishing for hours, but he had never seen a single fish take the bait, but the old monk seemed to be very patient, and was not in a hurry at all, but stood quietly, waiting for the fish that had not yet been hooked.

I don't know how long it took to see the old monk's ears move slightly, and he smiled and said, "Donor, since you're here, why don't you come out and see it." โ
There was no one around, and he seemed to be saying this to the air, but two minutes later, a figure suddenly appeared behind the old monk.
"Old guy, it seems that I haven't seen you for so many years, and your strength has improved a lot, and you actually discovered me so quickly. It was also an old monk, wearing a yellow robe, with white hair and a super-earthly atmosphere.
"The donor wanted to be discovered by me, and I naturally found out. If the donor doesn't want to be discovered by me, then how can I find out?" The old monk turned around, looked at the person who came, and said, "I just don't know, should I call you Guo Zhiyao donor, or should I call you Master Tonghui?"
"Guo Zhiyao is me, and Master Tonghui is me, what's the difference?" the man said lightly.
"Master Guo Shi sees it highly, but the old monk has fallen behind. The old monk nodded and put his hands together.
Hearing this voice of Guo Shizhu, the face of the person who came quietly turned cold, Guo Zhiyao is him, and Master Tonghui is him, but the difference in the title is also different.
The old monk did not call him Master Tonghui, but called Master Guo Shi, making it clear that he wanted to talk to his identity.
"People in the world say that you understand how the Master is so indifferent to fame and fortune, but they don't know that you are so scheming, and you are so calculating and persistent in a title. Guo Zhiyao sneered.
The old monk's face did not change, and he said slowly: "Since Master Guo Shi is here as the old master of the Guo family, then naturally you should call Master Guo Shi, if Master Guo Shi is here as a master of the White Horse Temple, then you are Master Tonghui." The reason for this, Master Guo, you are more clear than the old monk. โ
This Guo Zhiyao is the only surviving old lady Guo of the Guo family, and the old monk is the enlightened master that Jiang Feng has been asking for but has not seen.
"Whatever you pretend to be, it's nothing more than clever words. Guo Zhiyao snorted coldly.
"Guo Shi majored in immovable meditation, and his grasp of people's hearts has reached the point where an old monk is beyond his reach, and the old monk admires it. Master Wuwu said as if he couldn't hear the sarcasm in Guo Zhiyao's words.
"You have been in this red dust for decades, and your cultivation has not grown much, but your face is a lot thicker, and I also admire the old man very much. Guo Zhiyao sneered, but he didn't stick to that topic.
Because he knows very well that the Zen method of the enlightened master is amazing, gently pick it up, put it down gently, not so many words can disturb his original heart, if he is persistent, it will inevitably be embarrassing for himself.
Hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in Master Enlightenment's slightly cloudy eyes, and then he smiled compassionately and recited the Buddha's name.
"Enlightenment, you have been fishing here for decades, have you ever caught a fish?" Guo Zhiyao is not the kind of person who likes to be passive, it is because of him that he will take the initiative to be discovered by Master Wu, and at this time, he also takes the initiative to speak, controlling the absolute initiative.
"Yes. The Enlightenment Master nodded.
"Oh, is it?" Guo Zhiyao frowned, slightly curious.
"Naturally, the monks don't speak. Master Wuwu folded his hands together and said with his eyebrows raised.
"No bait and no hook, fish can also be hooked, what is it if it's not a slang?" Guo Zhiyao said in a deep voice.
"Fish live by water, live by eating water and grass, and wander all their lives, except for being caught and eaten in the belly, can Master Guo know what is the true meaning of their survival?" asked the Master of Enlightenment.
"Why?" Guo Zhiyao said quietly.
"Just waiting for a chance to jump over the dragon gate. Master Wuwu sighed softly.
"Sharp teeth. Guo Zhiyao refuted loudly.
Master Wu smiled and said nothing, looking at the smile, Guo Zhiyao was a little upset, in his opinion, Master Wu fishing is fake, waiting for the fish to take the bait is true.
And today, he has become the fish that took the bait.
Then Guo Zhiyao sneered, broke off a branch at will, threw it into the river with his hand, and then pumped it with his big hand, and a pick of carp was directly pulled out of the water by him.
"Let's see if this fish can jump over the dragon gate?" Guo Zhiyao said coldly.
"It can't. Master Wuwu said slowly.
"So it's dead. Guo Zhiyao said fiercely.
"Good, good, good. "The enlightened master recited the Buddha's name.
"False mercy. Guo Zhiyao threw the carp into the river and said gloomily.
"How can compassion come from true or false?" said Master Wu, shaking his head.
"There is good and evil in people's hearts, why is there no truth or falsehood in compassion?" Guo Zhiyao said quickly.
"Then you say, are you good or evil?" asked the Master of Enlightenment, lowering his eyes.
"People like you, who think that they are the first good person in the world, in your eyes, I am naturally the one who is full of evil, and I hate that everyone in the world is the best with swords and axes, why take off your pants and fart, and ask more?" Guo Zhiyao's eyes were fierce.
"I think it's me who thinks, you think it's what you think, if you can't even tell yourself whether you're good or evil, how can outsiders tell the difference. Master Enlightenment said.
"I am good, I am also evil, can you be satisfied?" Guo Zhiyao said coldly.
He was ordained to Buddhism, and he couldn't practice Zen, but it was not in Zen itself, but in order to cultivate it, and his Dharma principles were not comparable to those of the enlightened master.
"Everyone in the world has good and evil sides, this is the right way of heaven, even the old monk is no exception, but Guo Shizhu served the Buddha for many years, and his anger has never disappeared, which is really regrettable. Master Wuwu said with a complicated expression.
"Do you know what I'm cultivating, what I'm cultivating is not a Buddha, it's my will. Guo Zhiyao was noncommittal.
"You're in the dark. The Master sighed softly.
"What is a Buddha, what is a demon? You are a Buddha with empty mouths and white teeth and false compassion? I face that my true heart is a demon? Such a Buddha, what use do I want, it is better to become a demon!" Guo Zhiyao laughed.
Master Wuwu was silent for a long time before he said, "I don't know why Master Guo came this time?"
"Remember twenty years ago, you and I had a three-palm appointment?" asked Guo Zhiyao.
Twenty years ago, the two of them had a fight, Guo Zhiyao lost a palm to Master Wu, and since then he has disappeared and fallen into the empty door, twenty years later, he walked out of the White Horse Temple and came for the covenant of the three palms.
"Please. Without hesitation, Master Enlightenment said.
Master Enlightenment knew that he had already said what he should say, and since Guo Zhiyao was here for him, it didn't matter why, the important thing was that if Guo Zhiyao's purpose failed to succeed, Guo Zhiyao would not leave.
"Okay, take my first slap first. "Master Wu is simple, Guo Zhiyao is even more simple, he raised his hand and slapped it towards Master Wu.
Guo Zhiyao came for the defeated palm twenty years ago, but naturally it was not purely because of that palm, he did not come out of retreat for 20 years, and he practiced asceticism without moving Zen, and now he urgently needs to find an opponent to verify his strength. And Master Wu, who is undoubtedly the most qualified to be his opponent, is that Guo Zhiyao is here.
Guo Zhiyao slapped his palm directly towards the Heavenly Spirit Gai of the Enlightened Master, simple and direct, full of domineering.
Master Wuwu made a move, pushed out horizontally with a palm, and stopped at the palm that Guo Zhiyao slapped down.
After a palm, Master Wu's figure flickered, his feet made a mistake, and he took a step back, and on the big stone where he was originally standing, a deep footprint was left behind, which shows the strength of Guo Zhiyao's palm.
"I haven't seen it for 20 years, Guo Shizhu's cultivation has been a meritorious work, to the point that even the old monks can't see through it, such progress is really amazing, gratifying and congratulatory, and it is not in vain to waste these 20 years of hard work. Master Enlightenment said.
"Why bother? Could it be that you think that if you flatter me a few words, I will be merciful and put away your poor innocence!" Guo Zhiyao replied and said in a low voice: "Second palm." โ
Without the slightest hesitation, Guo Zhiyao shot again.
It was still a big hand that slapped down, but the air was condensed by him, like a mountain pressing down on the Enlightened Master.
Master Wuwu made a move, his thin palm stretched out from the wide sleeve, it seemed to be no different from the first shot, but this time the sudu shot was much faster, in addition to being fast, it was more of a bit more heavy breath.
With a muffled "bang", the Master of Enlightenment stepped back again, but this time he took two steps back, leaving two deep footprints, and deep in his throat, let out a muffled snort, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
Guo Zhiyao stood motionless, looked at Master Wu coldly, and said, "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, I don't know how you feel now?"
"Whether it is talent or perseverance, Guo Shizhu is rare in the life of an old monk, and the old monk sighs to himself. Master Wuwu said softly.
"You admit defeat?" Guo Zhiyao's eyes burst into a light and shouted.
Master Wu smiled slightly, and said, "Master Guo Shi's anger has not subsided, how can he admit defeat? โ
"As you wish!" Guo Zhiyao's face was hideous, and he made a move for the third time, and as he pressed down with his big hand, the water of the Yellow River behind Master Wu was rolled up by force.
With a "boom", the water surface exploded as if someone had thrown a bomb, splashing in all directions, like a downpour, and the water drenched the master of enlightenment, making his gray gauze coat stained with speckled yellow mud, slightly wolf.
But although the wolf bรจi, except for the slightly pale face, the expression of the Master of Enlightenment was extremely peaceful, without sorrow or joy, but Guo Zhiyao, for some time, had disappeared from the front of the Master of Enlightenment.
