I see.

In this ember pool, all the pasts that have been abandoned and abandoned by people on the nineteen continents are gathered, and the past that she once abandoned in the gate of cause and effect has also come here. Every day in this pool, absorbing the aura and Buddha light gathered by the cultivation of Yichen monks, he gradually became a strange existence in this heaven and earth, and gave birth to spiritual wisdom.

Yichen treats all things with compassion, and Yiyi's benevolence does not kill her, answering her questions and solving her doubts, but making her enlightened and become a demon.

This reason actually reminded me of my unintentional words when I first entered the path of cultivation, which made Fu Chaosheng "hear the way"......

How similar is it at this time and then?

Presumably, when Monk Yichen's words were ignited, it was also an opportunity to make such a special existence as her become a "demon" in this heaven and earth.

Those who are called "demons" are different from human beings, and are the incarnation of beings who have no spiritual wisdom in heaven and earth.

This past that was seen and saddened was turned into a demon, and it sounded incredible.

If you think about it carefully, there was the Venerable Master who was silent and his body was destroyed and the demons in his heart soared, there was the rule of reincarnation in the Extreme Domain, and the spirit of the soul was transformed into King Qin Guang, and then there was Fu Chaosheng, who once heard the Tao, but turned out to be a demon.

It's not a big deal in comparison.

It's just that I remembered what Monk Fang Yichen mentioned, "His thoughts are very strong, his intentions are very persistent", and the sentence that the banshee asked in front of the Heavenly King Palace......

"Even I can give up, what else in this world is there that you can't give up?"

For a while, I was a little confused.

Monk Yichen still talked about the before and after, including counting that the banshee went to the snowy region, so he reminded Kong to be careful, and also said the changes in the past twenty years and the reason why they have never found any trace of Sumeru mustard seeds.

Gai was so smart that he discovered the Liangyi Pool at the junction of the Yin and Yang sects.

When yin and yang converge on the first line, chaos will be born, and Sumeru mustard seeds are in chaos, as if they were placed in the universe of the first birth, and they can't be revealed at all.

It wasn't until Jianchou and Xie Buchen came out with the Great Five Elements Forbidden Breaking Technique that they caused strong fluctuations in mustard seeds and were found out by Yichen.

At the end, he only said to Jian: "That banshee has been detained in the Thousand Buddha Hall by Senior Brother Wuji, and she should be disposed of by the donor." It's just that the poor monk is very hesitant to think about it, and it seems that there is still something confused and undecided, and the sun is already slanting, so it is better to ask the two to stay in the meditation monastery. Seeing that the donor is worried, he can also consider the method of disposal. ”

It is said that this demon appeared in the snow region before, and almost killed her Xie Buchen, if it is not for the time to save her, I am afraid that she has been in a different place. Later, this demon snatched the mustard seeds from Sumeru and hid them in the Liangyi Pool, obviously not thinking of showing mercy to her subordinates, but wanting to get rid of her and Xie Buchen together......

So at this moment, she shouldn't hesitate, she should directly choose to erase its existence and never suffer in the future.

However, the subtlety and confusion in my heart really lingered.

Seeing sorrow, I remembered the eyes that stared at me across the chasm in the door of cause and effect that day, and also remembered the eyes that vaguely hid coldness and hatred on the top of the snowy temple, and even remembered the deep irony when the banshee questioned her and Xie Buchen......

Is she wrong to give up the past?

I don't know the answer.

So at this moment, she didn't express any objection to Monk Yichen's proposal, and only nodded: "According to what the master said, it must be to disturb." ”

"Cause and effect are entangled, and in the end they need to be settled. ”

The monk Yichen was calm, and when he saw the sun setting in the west, he flicked his fingers and lit a dim lotus lamp on the bank of this ember pond, and then walked on the road when he came and went.

"Speaking of which, this kind of strange thing of turning into a demon is also the only thing to see in the life of a poor monk. In previous years, there were thousands of obsessions in the past, but there was only one thought of becoming a demon. It can be seen that the past of seeing the sorrowful benefactor is really extraordinary. ”

Although I don't know what Yichen means by lighting a lamp on top of this ember pool, it can be seen that I didn't think much about it.

Hearing what he said, of course she wouldn't mistakenly think that Monk Yichen was shirking any responsibility, she knew that this "heart master" was just lamenting her past.

At the moment, he only sighed in a complicated voice: "Master Yichen laughed." ”

Yichen also smiled, but didn't talk much.

Zeng sat down with the sorrowful past, of course, he would not be unaware of the turbulent undercurrent between the seemingly peaceful two behind him.

It's just that the two of them don't mention it, and they don't know anything about it.

The three of them quickly returned to the Zen courtyard below.

The residences of the disciples and elders of Zen Buddhism are all in the back mountain, and the Zen room is the main one. Seeing that Xie Buchen and the two of them were no exception, they didn't mind where they lived, so they followed Yichen and chose a meditation room at random and rested.

It's just that one of them chose the east and the other chose the west, obviously because they didn't want to talk nonsense with each other.

All the furnishings in the room are simple and plain.

A Buddha statue, an incense case, an incense burner, an Arhat bed under the window, and a purple futon on the ground. The red sandalwood shrine is placed on the side of the incense table against the wall, and there is a statue of Amitabha Buddha inside.

Other than that, there is nothing else.

Seeing that the monk entered the house, he glanced at it, and walked towards the Buddhist shrine, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he secretly felt a bamboo slip from under the Buddhist shrine.

When I opened it, it was a volume of "Heart Sutra".

She had long been familiar with this scripture, and there was nothing to look at, so she put it back.

In the meditation room, she stared at the statue of Amitabha Buddha in the Buddhist shrine, and her heart, which should have calmed down quickly, had an indescribable unrest.

For most of the monks in these nineteen continents, only twenty years have passed.

But she pinched her fingers and counted, and she was in the mustard seeds of Sumeru, and she had clearly been practicing penance in that pagoda for nearly four hundred years!

How bitter?

How lonely is it?

He is fashionable and can be tempted to forbear, and can even argue with Xie Buchen. But when I came out at this time, I was in contact with this incomparably real and incomparably vivid world, but I was restless.

The three Buddhas of Buddhism, the ancient Buddha of the lamp is the Buddha of the past, the Buddha of Shakyamuni is the present Buddha, and the Buddha of Amitabha is the Buddha of the future. At this moment, her eyes fell on the statue of Amitabha Buddha, but she only remembered what Monk Yichen said before.

Everything that had been in her memory had passed through her mind.

After meditating on the futon for an hour, he got up and pushed open the door and walked out.

She randomly asked a novice who was patrolling the night, then turned around and went to visit Kong.

I still remember that he was just a small novice in the small world of killing red, but he attracted everyone's astonishment with his excellent luck.

Later, Gu Qingmei sacrificed the earth binding array set up by Xie Buchen, and accidentally trapped him and Meng Xizhou in it, it was she who smashed the entire formation with an axe and saved them.

As for the rebellion of the Snowy Temple, but he was desperate to save himself, and when he saw the sorrow in his heart, how could he forget this kindness?

Whether she forgets the kindness she gives to others is their business, and whether she remembers the kindness they give her or not, it becomes her own business.

It is probably because this little monk is still recuperating from his injuries, so the meditation room is secluded.

Seeing that Chou was walking through this Zen temple according to the direction pointed by the little novice who had been patrolling the night before, seeing the ancient Bodhi trees surrounding, and the clear springs gathering into a pond from time to time, the sound of chanting when the Zen disciples were doing evening classes was faintly heard, and the heart was strangely quiet.

When I got to the meditation room, it was a moment later, and there were people inside.

It's the unsullied abbot I've seen before.

Seeing sorrow outside the door, he was slightly stunned, and then learned the etiquette of Zen Buddhism, folded his hands, and bowed to him: "I have seen the abbot master when I see sorrow." ”

The face of the innocent abbot is also square and broad, and even when there is no one at night, he maintains a meticulous seriousness.

Seeing the sorrowful salute, he was slightly surprised.

But then he understood, and invited her in: "You don't have to be polite when you see the sorrowful donor, you must have come to see the void, right?"

"I've heard that Senior Brother Kong was seriously injured in the snowy region and was entangled by evil forces. Although there are various reasons for this, it is because of me. If you are bothering your sect today, how can you not come to visit?"

When I saw that I was worried and entered the meditation room, I saw at a glance that there was no space sitting on the bed of the arhat.

was originally a handsome little monk, but now he looks a little thin.

The thing around her body was the black qi she had seen in the snowy region before, exactly the same as the dead disciples of Yashan Kunwu, except that the evil qi was deeper and more ferocious.

Perhaps it has been entangled for more than 20 years, and this evil spirit seems to have faded a lot.

The abbot of the Innocent came to check the situation today, and perhaps when he saw the sorrow, he wrinkled his eyebrows, and then said: "The Great Dao has to become eighty-one difficult, so where is this? In the past 20 years, most of the time has passed, and it is all about retreat and penance. ”

In other words, the emptiness is almost safe?

Seeing that he glanced at the innocent abbot beside him, he only felt that this master, who looked serious and cold, should have wanted to calm his heart when he said this.

After all, it was the banshee who calculated.

If Zen Buddhism wants a reason, in order to avenge the void, he should directly kill the banshee he turned into in the past.

But Monk Yichen had clearly restrained her easily, but he didn't attack her, but still let her deal with it, just hoping that she would think about it carefully.

"The two sects of Buddhism and Zen are ......very different."

She couldn't hold back for a moment and sighed.

When the innocent abbot heard this, he was pinching the Buddha beads in his hand, and glanced at her, but he shook his head, his face was positive and solemn, and his eyes were still a little depressed like a cloud.

"As early as after the northward migration and splitting, the new secret of the snowy region was not among my Buddhism. ”

For Zen Buddhism and the Old Tantra, they are both laymen.

Seeing sorrow, she could vaguely understand the meaning of this sentence, but after all, this was their own business, so although she heard it, she didn't say anything more.

In this room, she just stared at the empty space for a long time.

The innocent abbot only said: "If the calamity is here, it will come sooner or later." There is no fault for the rescue of the empty hand, and there is a secret plot by the banshee, so that you and the Kunwu Xie donor are trapped in the mustard seeds. It is good because it is inherently good, but it causes evil consequences because it is mixed with other parties. It's just that the banshee has been detained in the Thousand Buddha Palace, and she has tasted cause and effect. By the way, there is no need to worry about the donor. ”

It was really the other way around and comforted her.

Seeing that he couldn't express his feelings in his heart, he was silent for a long time, and only said "thank you to the abbot for explaining" before bowing down and saying goodbye. No further commitments were made, nor were there offers to help.

Zen Buddhism has three masters, if there is a way, it will save the empty space a long time ago, where will it be her turn?

Coming out of the empty meditation room, I saw that I looked up at the sky with sorrow, but I saw that the stars in the night sky were bright, and there were small insect sounds and birds in the four corners, which was different from the extremely cold snowy region, and became a derivative of its own.

When I passed under a linden tree, I also bumped into a small novice.

The man was thin and small, and he must have only been getting started for a short time, and he was lying on a branch, holding a short stick, and with a net in front of him, reaching out to a kingfisher on the branch.

"Let you run around, see if I don't catch you this time!"

As he approached cautiously, he muttered to himself in a low voice.

Seeing that he was almost able to get it, he leaned over sharply and headed towards the kingfisher net.

Unexpectedly, this branch was too thin to withstand his strength. With just such a slight tilt, the little novice was caught off guard, and he actually planted it downward!

A man and a bird are about to fall to the ground together.

Fortunately, seeing that sorrow was below, his eyes were quick, and he stretched out his hand and grabbed the back collar of the little novice's clothes, and at the same time stretched out the palm of his other hand, and had caught the little kingfisher that had fallen in his palm.

"Wow!"

At this time, the little novice screamed in hindsight, not as if he was startled by the fall, but as if he was frightened by the sudden appearance of sorrow.

Seeing that he looked at him with sorrow, he looked back at his palm.

The little kingfisher, too, seemed frightened, and called pitifully twice, and cowered in her palm. It's just that the folded wings are comically tied with a white cloth, and there is a faint smell of medicine.

So she was stunned, and immediately knew that she had misunderstood.

I thought that a kid of this age might be catching this bird and playing, but I didn't expect it to be her villain's heart.

"Are you alright?"

She let go of her hand, put down the frightened little novice, and let him stand firmly on the ground before asking.

The little novice had not been in the temple for a long time, and although he did not know the identity of the sorrow, he also knew that there was a distinguished guest on the mountain.

Seeing that her face was close at hand, she blushed, hurriedly took two steps back, and recited "Amitabha" twice before replying: "Thank you, thank you for the rescue, the little monk is fine." ”

"Yours?"

Seeing that he was worried, he didn't mind, and stretched out his hand again and handed the kingfisher over.

Xiao Shami's eyes suddenly showed a little surprise and gratitude, and he hurriedly held it with both hands, carefully protecting it in the palm of his hand, and then hurriedly thanked him for his sorrow.

The little monk wanted to change the dressing for it, but he didn't expect it to be naughty and ran out again. ”

"It's good that nothing big happens. ”

Seeing sorrow smiled.

The little novice was still shy and didn't dare to talk to her more, so he hurriedly took his leave and left in a hurry. But he was in a hurry, and dropped the short stick that had been attached to the little net, and lay down on the ground.

Seeing that Chou bent over and picked it up, he looked at it twice, but he was thoughtful.

Such a net, just like the medicine in this world and the sword in the world, some people use it to kill people and kill people for money, but some people use it to save people, save suffering, and save suffering.

Now that she has this net, this medicine, this knife and this sword in her hand, how should she choose?

Human thoughts and ideas are the most mysterious in this world.

She is in the door of cause and effect, unwilling to dwell on the past, unwilling to indulge in pain, and unwilling to be bound by the past. Therefore, under the past and the present, a moat is drawn, separating the past self from the then self.

Love and hatred are still there.

Because, that was her at that time, she would not change by cutting off the past.

The one who is cut off is only the one who suffers, is tired, and fetters by love, hatred, and hatred, and the self who is not open-minded enough in the past.

But she became a demon......

There are a lot of unthinkable things in the world, and this kind of thing sounds like some kind of truth in the world, which was originally an invisible thing, but suddenly became a monster and a demon.

In the eyes of the sorrowful, this is just a choice, which is necessary at the time, and I do not regret it at the moment.

It's just that new problems are already in front of us.

She had given it up once, and now, should she kill it or save it?

Seeing sorrow, he slowly leaned the short stick of the small net against the Bodhi tree, and walked slowly on the night when the sound of the waves was heard in the distance, and before he knew it, he had come to the road where the monk took them to the ember pond.

She paused for a moment, lowered her eyes, laughed, and walked up.

Under the tall, smooth mountain wall, the ash water still flows, and the lotus flowers in the pond are in full bloom, and the water surface is like a phantom flash.

By the pool, a lotus lamp is majestic.

In this deep dark night, its dim light, with a bit of warmth, enveloped the entire ember pool, and there was an indescribable goose compassion and gentleness.

I remember that this was the dust monk who lit the pool at sunset.

There is nothing too unusual about all this, after all, she has already seen it in the daytime.

But the moment she approached, she suddenly realized-

It's still a little bit different.

The footsteps of the silent march suddenly stopped, and he looked at the lotus lantern with a little surprise.

The lamp is full of oil, and in the middle is a warm yellow flame.

But on the edge of the lotus lamp with lamp oil, there was a two-inch villain!

The body is white and chubby, with a red belly pocket around his neck, which is quite cute, but a pair of black eyes reveal a sense of cleverness.

It's very small, just like an ordinary person's thumb.

At this moment, he was sitting by the lotus cup, his hands holding the edge, but his legs were hanging outside, dangling in the air.

Almost as soon as it saw it clearly, it was aware of it, and jumped up in fright. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he hugged the lotus lantern, which was several times larger than his body, and looked in the direction of his sorrow.

A pair of clever eyes suddenly flashed with a little surprise.

"It's you, eh, no, it's not ......"

People are very small, and their voices are so small that they can't be heard unless they are careful.

And halfway through the words, it had already recognized the clue from its sad demeanor and breath, and when it realized that something was wrong, its mouth immediately opened a little wider, and it suddenly became a surprise.

"It turned out to be her now, and she looks really powerful......
