Aoyamaji Temple.

Master Diyi's room was simple and clean, except for the meditation bed, there was only one table and chair left. At this time, Venerable Diyi was lying on the meditation bed, his face was sallow and gray, and he was unconscious.

The meditation bed was close to the window, and the sun was shining outside the window, and the sun was shining through the window, and it was spread on the meditation bed, as if he had put on a golden Buddha robe for Venerable Diyi, covering his weak body due to excessive bleeding.

He fought in the back mountain forest, and had exhausted all his spiritual power and vitality, and now only Master Guangchen was left to use his spiritual power exercises with all his strength to stop Master Diyi from the ghost gate.

The five disciples were all in the meditation room, the senior brother and the fourth senior brother were sitting at the wooden table, and Yifeng and Xiugu were obediently sitting on the edge of the bed with Master Guangchen, accompanying the unconscious master.

After Yifeng was brought back in the evening, Master Guangchen checked his body and said that there was no big problem, and he heard in the morning that Master had not yet passed away and was still in a coma, but his spirit was much better, and he insisted on coming over to accompany Master.

The third senior brother, Jin Luo, was injured and sent to Master Guangchen, and his condition is still unknown.

The second senior brother fire monkey was anxious, walking around the room, and sighed: "When will the master wake up!"

"Fire Monkey, don't walk around, it will affect Master's rest!" Senior Brother usually speaks unhurriedly, but now his face is not good-looking, and his words are impatient.

"Aren't I also worried, not to mention that Uncle Shi said that Master's situation is not optimistic, and I am also very uncomfortable. The fire monkey sighed again.

"All right, you all go out! Master Guangchen was also worried, and turned his head and said.

Just as a few brothers were about to go out, they only heard the master in the meditation bed snort softly, and everyone immediately turned around and gathered around the master.

Master's face gradually turned bloody, and he struggled to open his eyes, which were bloodshot, but still bright.

When he saw the disciples, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he smiled. Everyone saw that Master's state had improved, and they were very happy.

Master Guangchen still looked worried, and even shook his head slightly.

Master Diyi turned his head slightly, looked at Yifeng, opened his mouth, and said in a dry voice: "Yifeng, you're okay, it's good, it's good." He looked at the others and was relieved to see that everyone was there.

He then remembered something again, and said to everyone: "Okay, don't see it as a joke for the teacher here, you go out first, and I'll talk to Yifeng." ”

Xiu Gu reluctantly followed the other senior brothers out and gently closed the door.

As if he knew something, Master Guangchen closed his eyes, still sitting at the head of the bed, and did not go out, and Master Diyi did not say anything again.

The room was quiet again, and Yifeng lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake.

"Yifeng, you look up. Master said softly.

Yifeng raised his head and saw the appearance of the master, and he was uncomfortable and lowered his head.

Master Diyi smiled helplessly and said, "Do you think that Master is so reluctant because you are injured? Silly boy, Master should have protected you, this is Master's responsibility." What's more, Master is old and in poor health, so it's none of your business, so there's no need to take it to heart. Yifeng, do you understand?"

Ichikaze nodded obediently. The flute mage was silent.

Yifeng felt strange, raised his head again, and saw that Master's face was a little worse than just now, and said anxiously: "Master, are you still uncomfortable, don't talk, sleep for a while!"

Master Diyi shook his head slightly and said, "Master can't sleep, Master hasn't finished speaking yet." Master Diyi thought for a moment, as if he were recalling the conversation he had with Yifeng in the woods last night.

"What do you think of the fact that Master Wei told you a lot of things last night?" asked Master Diyi.

Yifeng tilted his head, his eyes kept turning, looking at Master Diyi's haggard face, thinking about it, he seemed to be a little sad, and said: "Master, why is it so difficult to cultivate Buddhism, and why do you have to go through so many tribulations and break through so many big and small realms? In this way, many Buddhist predecessors and fellow Buddhists may not be able to see a glimmer of hope for enlightenment and ascension until they pass away. What did the Buddha and Tao give them?"

Master Diyi fell silent, and Master Guangchen looked at the puzzled Yifeng, his eyes flashed, and he interjected: "Yifeng, from ancient times to the present, everything must have a price. To grow crops when eating, to rub linen for clothing, and the same is true for practicing Buddhism. If we don't pay the price and don't go through calamities, how can we comprehend the Dharma? If the Dharma cannot be comprehended, then what is the value of the Buddha's way? Only by taking steps in an orderly manner can we conform to the way of heaven. ”

Yifeng shook his head, indicating that he still didn't understand.

Master Guangchen seemed to think of something, sighed, and said: "Yifeng, since you are a Buddha, presumably your future situation will be extraordinary, these questions, I believe your future experience, will tell you the answer." ”

Yifeng thought silently for a while, but still couldn't answer the doubts in his heart, so he stopped thinking about it, looked at Master Diyi, and said: "Master, I still don't want to be a Buddha, I have already injured the third senior brother, and now I don't know if he is okay." Now that I'm hurting you again, I think that person said I was a demon, I didn't believe it, but ······"

"Nonsense!"

Master Diyi scolded in a low voice, and coughed a few times in anger. Yifeng looked at him nervously, for fear that the master would pass out again.

Master Diyi's breath fluctuated, his hands trembled, gently smoothed his chest, and said in a deep voice: "I said, you are the hope of the master and the brothers, although the master does not know what mission the heavenly Buddha realm wants you to accomplish, but as a Buddha son of heaven descending from the heavens, you will definitely be the hope of the Buddha in this world! Demon, demon and you are enemies!"

Venerable Diyi looked at the roof, as if recalling something, "Since your senior brothers and sisters and I obtained the qualification to cultivate, the farther we go on the path of cultivation, the more we feel that the responsibility on us is heavier.

This may be the role of the meditation formula, because the meditation method begins to merge into the body, into the blood and the mind, from the scriptures, and this should be the so-called enlightenment of the Dharma.

"The methods of purifying sentient beings and avoiding reincarnation in the scriptures have begun to become concrete, and while Buddhism has brought us the ability to surpass ordinary people, it has also guided us to walk on the road of Buddhism. ”

Speaking of this, Venerable Diyi smiled lightly again, as if he saw the broad road to Buddhahood in front of him, and he continued: "Under the guidance of the Dharma, we have cultivated our bodies and mastered some magical powers of the Dharma. However, the speed of cultivation is from fast to slow, and the bottleneck becomes more and more obvious. At that time, I realized that even if the wisdom root is opened, not everyone can cultivate to become a Buddha.

"Moreover, the deeper our cultivation becomes, the more darkness we come into contact with. This world is chaotic and suffering, and cultivators are not all like us, shouldering the responsibility of purification and redemption. Their purposes are more complex, perhaps darker, and more selfish. Or even more ambitious. ”

He turned his head to look at Yifeng: "The first person who robbed you and the person who came to you last night are people with ulterior motives, they are the products of the darkness of this world, and they are a microcosm of the careerists of the Great Martial Kingdom. At the same time, they are also your calamity.

He sighed: "Actually, everyone you meet, including me, including your senior brothers and sisters, is likely to be your calamity. ”

"But!" Master Diyi's tone changed: "Tribulation is not all bad, experiencing calamity can make you grow up quickly, so that you can survive strong in this world!

"If you are just a novice, a sweeping monk of Qingshan Temple, then you can face life and death and be afraid, cry, and even create shadows. However, you are a son of the Buddha, and the heavenly Buddha realm will definitely not let you be resigned to the ordinary, and you must not be cowardly in this life, no matter what! Your experience will be ups and downs, and your life is destined to be magnificent!

"You are the treasure of Buddhism, you will go to this world to experience on behalf of the heavens of Buddhism, you must guide the world to clarify good and evil, punish evil and promote good, but also the unity of knowledge and action, cross others with yourself, overcome evil with Buddha, until you become a Buddha with enlightenment! You can't give up easily!"

After saying that, he looked at him with staring eyes: "Yifeng, do you understand?"

Although Yifeng didn't understand, he nodded heavily when he saw Master's solemn tone.

Master Diyi smiled with satisfaction, and after saying these words, his face became even more gray than just now, as if he had exhausted all his strength. He closed his eyes and waved his hand.

Master Guangchen saw it in his eyes, and an unbearable look flashed in his eyes, and he said to Yifeng: "Yifeng, your master is tired, you go out first." ”

A wind and a sour feeling welled up in my heart, and I was so uncomfortable that my eyes were full of tears, but because of the master's earnest teaching just now, I didn't dare to flow out, so I quickly wiped my eyes with my sleeve, stood up, and prepared to go out.

He walked to the door and heard Master Guangchen chanting in a low voice: "The Great Tribulation of Life and Death is full, and the reincarnation is silent. ”

The voice was gloomy, with a hint of helplessness and sadness.

Yifeng suddenly felt something in his heart, his heart twitched, and he suddenly turned back to Master Diyi's side, and shouted, "Master!!"

Voices echoed in the room, but the flute mage never responded.
