Chapter 591: The King Sees the Buddha
Chu Xianzhao woke up in a daze, only to feel that he was soaking in the warm water, and his soft palm was on his head.
He didn't open his eyes for the first time, and he went to probe the signs of qi circulation in his body, after making sure that he didn't have broken limbs or missing feet after rolling down from the waterfall, he felt his chest burning like fire the next moment, although it didn't hurt his lungs, but he always felt that his throat was hot like drinking a glass of spirits, this dragon flame was actually fueled by the qi in the body, although the qi in his body was not burned out, but after all, he felt that this power was uncontrollable, and he had to use it cautiously in the future.
Chu Xianzhao's nose was full of the fragrance of the girl's body fragrance, and he subconsciously exhaled this breath, which was sweet and charming, making him feel that the bones in his whole body were loosened by a few catties.
No, he obviously fell down from the waterfall, how could there be a girl's body fragrance here, could it be that he fell into the lair of a beautiful snake?
He continued to adjust the operation of the qi in his body to ensure that his strength could defeat the enemy with one move at any time, and then he slowly opened his eyes, and what greeted him was a stunningly moving and beautiful face.
This beautiful woman with eyebrows like red beans can only describe her as a stunner in the world, a pair of aura eyes staring at his face, making him subconsciously open his eyes, thinking that he could see the beauty when he fell from the waterfall and opened his eyes, and his heart suddenly felt a little happy.
The white-clothed woman in front of him noticed that after Chu Xianzhao woke up, the green silk like a waterfall hung on his shoulder, and the plump chest that was bowed and could not see his feet shook slowly, as if Mount Tai was pressing down on the top of his clothes, Chu Xianzhao thought to himself that this kind of reversal was too amazing, he was still being chased by Long Fusheng just now and was about to die, and now he met a woman with a plump figure and beautiful appearance, so he didn't let him have a transition period to think?
"Are you awake...... Monk, he's awake, come and have a look. The woman in white with a red dot on her eyebrows cried out in surprise.
Monk?
Chu Xianzhao was a little stunned by her call, and finally sat down with her support, but saw a young monk in a shabby robe, sitting in front of a bonfire with his hands folded, and his expression was extremely reverent.
Chu Xianzhao stared at this young Buddhist disciple who was only ten steps away from him, subconsciously clenched his fists, and the muscles under his robe bulged like a rock.
Because he was in the land of Spring and Autumn, almost everyone was his enemy, even if this person looked clear-eyed, Chu Xuanzhao still didn't dare to take it lightly.
The young monk came back to his senses, clasped his hands together to Chu Xianzhao, and said softly: "In Xia Li Beichan, when I passed by this waterfall, I happened to see Gongzi descending from the sky, so I chose to save Gongzi, and saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, which is good." β
Chu Xianzhao took a deep breath, suppressed the surging murderous intent in his heart, and returned the salute: "In Xia Tang Huang, thank the master for his help." β
The young monk's robe is full of fine stitches, but the robe shows no signs of sloppiness, and his right hand holds a string of stars and moons Bodhi, looking at the fire and reciting the sutra as if it is very holy and pious.
Chu Xianzhao has always been indifferent to monks, and from this point, he can see Chu Xiaohua's shadow.
The emperor of Yinguo said that if there is really such a savior Buddha in the sky overlooking the world, then there should be no war in the world at all, but since this god cannot show his divine power in the world, why should the people take the time to believe in him, it is better to find a way to solve today's three meals a day.
Because of the influence of Chu Xiaohua's words and deeds, the people of Yinguo almost do not believe in Buddhism, in addition to the Confucianism and Taoism of this dynasty, Buddhism fireworks can be described as extremely cold, there are not too many Buddhists willing to come to Yinguo to preach and preach, they all think that since the king of Yinguo is disrespectful to Buddhism, there is no need to come to this kind of place to play the piano to the cow.
Li Beichan used a stick to pry the bonfire that was about to go out, and said with a smile: "Today and saving the son under the waterfall, there must be a fate between us, this spring and autumn land will not be able to go out for a while, we have to rest under this waterfall at night, and then set off tomorrow to find a way out of here, if the son does not think the little monk is noisy, the little monk hopes to say a few words of Buddhism to the son tonight, can you." β
Chu Xianzhao rubbed his head and asked, "Let's not talk about the Dharma first, who are you and her?"
"The little monk is from the Jinchan Temple of the Southern Buddha, as for her name is Lu Nanqing, from the Guanyin Sect of the Great South China Sea, I think the son has also heard of it, and the son can believe us. β
Chu Xianzhao exhaled lightly and said, "It turned out to be a senior monk of the Southern Buddha Golden Zen Temple, and I asked the master to give me a few words." β
Li Bei shook his head and smiled: "The monk is far from being called, and the teaching is not counted, it can only be a few sermons, and things like Buddhism can be listened to as much as they want, and there is no need to force it." β
Chu Xianzhao stared at the young monk who was inlaid with a layer of golden light by the bonfire, although Chu Xiaohua said that the uselessness of Buddhism is just a belief that imprisons the mind, but the Dharma Heaven and Earth of the Buddha cultivator and the body of King Kong are really powerful forces, it is rumored that the Dharma Phase Heaven and Earth that suppresses the world can make the evil demons and demons subside, and make the ghosts of the netherworld kneel down, which is comparable to the power of the king's breath, as for the human flesh of the Taoist monk, it can be eaten for eternity, and after death, it can burn more than priceless relics.
Chu Xianzhao was also skeptical of these rumors, but he had seen the law phase heaven and earth a few times on the battlefield of Shuyue, which was a kind of embodied power of inner obsession, not everyone could use this power, but the monk in front of him with kind eyebrows might be able to bring this kind of devastating suffocation, which was unguardable.
Chu Xianzhao sat cross-legged, and the woman in white named Lu Nanqing sat beside Li Beichan, staring at her face intently, as if she saw something very special.
After a long time, she suddenly said: "Childe's eyes are so beautiful, they are as special as gems, I have never seen such eye color." β
Chu Xianzhao couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "These eyes were given to me by my mother. β
"Then she must be a great beauty, Childe is really lucky. β
Lu Nanqing clasped his hands together as if clapping his hands, and when he smiled, he showed two small pointed tiger teeth.
Chu Xianzhao had a good impression of this young woman from the Guanyin Sect, and she sat cross-legged with a silver bottle in her hand, and under the backdrop of the firelight, she looked like Guanyin Niangniang.
Li Beichan put the string of Bodhi seeds on his wrist again, stared at Chu Xianzhao's face, and said endlessly: "Surprise, it's really amazing...... Childe takes the royal road as the foundation, the domineering as the sword intent, the immortal qi is stored in the eye of the sky, the blood is the power of the true dragon of Jiang Yang, and there are several unheard of powers in the Tao. β
Chu Xianzhao, who was almost seen by Li Beichan at a glance, saw all the secrets, his face changed drastically, and the qi in his body rippled out uncontrollably, bending the bright and flickering bonfire.
Li Beichan stretched out his fingers to void a little, and led all the qi that overflowed from Chu Instant's summoning back to his body, who would dare to say that it was difficult to recover when he saw this situation.
While Chu Xianzhao was shocked by this magical technique, he forced his mind and said, "Since the master has seen through who I am, you might as well continue." β
Li Beichan clasped his hands together and said in a pious tone: "Childe doesn't need to be nervous, what Xiaodao wants to ask is, what did Childe see in the past?"
"What is the master's answer to this question?" Chu instantaneously replied calmly.
Li Beichan looked at Chu Xianzhao quietly and said: "The monks don't talk to each other, since Xiaodao came to Luoyang from the Southern Buddha, naturally it is not to compete for the high level of the martial arts, but to see if Gongzi is that person." β
"Who am I?"
Chu Xianzhao asked Li Beichan in an almost rhetorical tone, or asked himself.
This question is too broad to solve, and even the Buddha can't answer such a question, so Childe might as well ask himself another question. β
"You...... What do you want?"
Li Beichan's tone was as beautiful as reciting a Buddhist scripture, but with the rolling wind and thunder, Chu Xianzhao's heart was split into a snow-white color.
After thinking for a long time, Chu Xianzhao muttered, "How can I say it? I've been a little panicked since I came to Sunset. β
"What are you worried about? Childe is a person with great luck in the world, and he will be glorious everywhere he goes. β
"Because sometimes I don't know what I'm doing. β
Chu Xianzhao stretched out his right hand, clenched his fist, and said: "Ordinary people do things, that is, when they see a stone blocking the way on the ground, they will kick this stone away, but if it is a gem, then he will not hesitate to pick it up and hold it in his pocket, otherwise if he is not careful, this gem will be snatched away, bow his head cautiously, and he will not be able to raise his head for the rest of his life......"
"As for those powerful kings, they were born with precious stones everywhere, and naturally they did things unscrupulously, stepping on the gems under their feet and looking down on all beings, and hoping that their descendants would also step on these gems, and be as high as they were, otherwise they would die without a blind eye. β
"People like me can be happy if they only need to make the right choice in what seems right, but I make the wrong choice in the wrong thing...... Actually, I'm lucky because more people don't even have the opportunity to choose. β
Li Beichan looked at him and said: "Childe is not an ordinary person, but he is not all on the side of the magnates, Childe can't stand by and watch, so he will come to Luoyang, because this is a decision made by Childe in his heart, and this decision is very firm." β
Li Beichan asked, "But in this decision, what can Childe see and what can he get?"
Chu Xianzhao clenched his fists, looked at his palm again, and said, "I don't know if this decision is correct, I can only say that it is a feeling." β
"That's how it feels...... It's like something I was born with, not something that someone forced on me, but something that I held in my hand from the beginning...... It's something like this that a lot of people want me to give up and hold on to what they've given me. β
"But I don't want to, because I think such things, if I really give them up, or forget them......"
"βthis thing is really gone. β
Chu Xianzhao didn't know if Li Beichan could understand his own words, if what Ying Liyang said was correct, then even if the whole world wanted to oppose her, then he would stand on her side.
The three of them were silent around the bonfire for a long time, and even the originally hot and bright bonfire became a little bright and dim because Li Beichan had never added firewood.
It wasn't until Li Beichan stuffed a handful of firewood into the fire that he continued: "Xiaodao is more and more convinced that Gongzi is the person Xiaodao wants to meet. β
Chu Xuanzhao's heart gave rise to a wave of anger for no reason, and he said in a deep voice: "You obviously know what will happen in the future, as a senior disciple of the Golden Chan Temple, why don't you tell your disciples this message and let them prepare in advance?"
If it is said that the people of the Southern Buddha Kingdom, or other monks, even the Southern Buddha King Zheng Mian, in the face of this Li Beichan, who is known as the great hope of Buddhism, they must fold their hands and salute respectfully, and they do not dare to scold Chu Xianzhao like this.
Li Beichan was not angry, but said calmly: "The trail naturally has a reason, there is a reason for the childe's move, and there must be a result in the end, although the trail has nothing to do with the cause of the childe, but this fruit must have a part of the trail." β
Chu Xianzhao retracted his sharp expression, his tone softened, and asked, "If what I did was right, then what should I do next?"
Li Beichan nodded, and said: "Childe's Avenue is facing the sky, it is correct, every step of this avenue has to be forced, it seems to be wrong and absurd, but in fact it has a clear conscience, and then with the shallow view of the path, the world has lived this life in a daze, and has never thought about why to live, whether it is holding a stone or holding a gem, most of them refuse to let go, and they can't wait to block this stone in their hearts, Childe looks at this fire?"
Li Beichan threw stones into the fire, and the flames were sometimes dim and sometimes bright.
When the light emitted by the fire became dim, he said calmly: "Childe, the world is like this fire in front of you, the fire must be hollow to burn more and more, if the fire is solid, it will be cold and smoke, and finally the flame will be extinguished." But if you take out the stones from the fire and add the firewood necessary to maintain the flames, the flames will always be bright and unquenchable. β
"No one knows what the end of the road will be, but the road is always dark, and only by keeping the flame in your heart lit can you see the road under your feet. β
Li Beichan picked out the stones in the fire and said with a smile: "As for the road that Childe wants to take, it can be regarded as halfway now, the road is good to walk, even if you fall, you have to get up and continue walking, because this is the mission that Childe is born to hold in his hand." β
Chu Xianzhao lowered his head and was silent, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Lu Nanqing who had long since lost the peerless demeanor of Guanyin just now, listening to the nagging of the two of them, and sleeping with his knees snoring slightly.
As for the silver bottle that she treated as a treasure, it was stuffed in her chest, and as she breathed, it would sway and roll out at any time.
"Nanqing......" Li Beichan called her softly.
Lu Nanqing suddenly woke up, and the pure water and silver bottle popped out of her waist and rolled to Chu Xuanzhao's feet.
At this time, the scene was awkward for a while.
Chu Xianzhao laughed and laughed, twisted up the silver bottle with soft fragrance and returned it to Lu Nanqing, who was blushing with shame, but his eyes softened when he looked at Li Beichan, and said: "A high monk is worthy of being a high monk, just a few words have solved the doubts in my heart, compared to those Confucian students who can only talk loudly, it is much more pleasant to speak." β
Li Beichan shook his head again and again and said: "The purpose of coming to Luoyang to participate in the ceremony this time is to meet the son, and the reason why I didn't take the initiative to look for the son before is to avoid people's eyes." This time I entered the land of spring and autumn, just so that I could meet my son, this area is completely closed, although the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain can know our specific scope and life and death status, but they can't know the content of our conversation, so the conversation between us is completely closed, even the gods and Buddhas can't hear it. β
Hearing this, Chu Xuanzhao said directly: "Then what do you know about the battle of the end times? Tell me everything you know." β
Li Beichan was slightly stunned and said: "The battle of the end of the world, in the Buddhist classics, we call it the era of the end of the law, at that time everything in the world will be destroyed, and the Buddha is one of the gods who participated in the war in the past." After that war, the Buddha knew that the alien gods would inevitably return, and he meditated hard to think of a solution to all this, and in the process wrote volume after volume of Buddhist scriptures. β
Chu Xianzhao asked, "Then have you found any way to completely bury the ancient alien gods?"
Li Beichan shook his head and said: "No, after countless years of thinking, the Buddha still did not find a way to eliminate heretical gods, and later he realized that this is the cause and effect of the reincarnation of heaven and earth, just like the rise and fall of life and death." Therefore, before the Buddha passed away and ascended to heaven, after finding the pure land in the southern continent, he made a single effort to rise up the Buddha country, built a temple in the Buddha country, and deposited the Buddhist scriptures written throughout his life in the temple, so that the outstanding Buddhist disciples of the later generations can enter the enlightenment, and this temple is the Golden Cicada Temple. β
Li Beichan explained: "The Buddha ordered the disciples of Buddhism not to participate in the battle of the troubled times, ignore the change of dynasty, and take the Golden Cicada Temple as a spiritual shelter from generation to generation, in the hope that the children of Buddhism can survive the coming of this apocalyptic war, help the human beings in the last days survive this torrent of annihilation, and defeat these alien gods who woke up from the extreme north with their strong strength and forbearance will." β
"Did the Buddha say when the gods will wake up?"
After Li Beichan was silent for a long time, he said slowly: "The alien gods didn't wake up on their own initiative, someone deliberately woke them up. β
"What did you say?" Chu Xianzhao looked at him like a thunderbolt, and suddenly remembered that King Xilin and Ying Liyang had also said similar things to him, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
Now that a similar statement came out of Li Beichan's mouth, there was a feeling similar to the three of them becoming tigers in his heart.
Chu Xianzhao pressed his hands on his shoulders, looked him into the eyes and said, "Is there any way for the master to find out this person, as long as we can kill him, maybe we can save many people." β
Li Beichan slowly shook his head and said, "All living beings are suffering. When you use mercy to sail to Pudu, how can you kill each other to be alone?"
Chu Xianzhao, who was seen by Li Beichan's inner thoughts, smiled dumbly, and gradually let go of his shoulders, feeling relieved for some reason.
