"At a young age, with a heavy treasure without revealing it, it seems that there is a master behind him. The old man smiled faintly.

"The sword in your hand is called Victory Evil, it is one of the five great immortal swords of Xuanmen, and its attribute is fire. I don't know, the fire spirit is still there?" the old man looked at Chu Yi's hand and said in surprise.

Chu Yi didn't expect this guy to see at a glance that he was carrying a strange treasure and the roots of the Victory Evil Divine Sword.

"Who are you?" Chu Yi asked again.

A hint of strangeness flashed in the old man's eyes, and he muttered, "Who am I?"

He seems to have forgotten his truest self, and only remembers the identities of those who scared people to death.

Chu Yi only said that he didn't want to say it, so he changed the question: "Why are you pressed under the Yanming Tower?"

According to the memory of the present world, only the thousand-year-old white snake spirit was pressed under the Leifeng Pagoda by the Buddhist monk Fahai. So, this old man is crushed under the Yanming Tower, either a demon or a demon?

The old man seemed to be a little interested in this question, and thought for a while, "Then you say, why do these white bones exist?"

Chu Yi groaned, "I was killed by you." ”

The old man nodded, then shook his head: "I ate them all." ”

Chu Yi's heart was furrowed, his brows were furrowed, and he held the evil side tighter. He didn't know when this old man would suddenly strike again? If there was no seventh-level floating slaughter tower to protect him, I am afraid that he would be a pair of white bones in this white bone mountain at this time.

"You are gluttonous," Chu Yi asked tentatively.

The old man paused for a moment, and then laughed and said, "I didn't expect that you, a little baby, still know that gluttony exists, not bad, not bad." ”

Chu Yi raised his eyebrows, not knowing why he was so excited: "What are you laughing at?"

The old man seemed to have never been so happy, and his mood suddenly became happy: "Have you ever been to the Ethereal Shore and seen that scholar and monk?"

Chu Yi's heart tightened, he was silent for a moment, and said, "I've seen it." ”

The old man fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said slowly: "Didn't you ask me, who am I? Then let me tell you, those two people are also me." It's just the other two me. ”

Chu Yi was puzzled: "How can a person have two selves?"

"It seems that a monk has hair, and it seems to be vulgar and dustless. Dream within a dream, see the body outside the body. The old man said slowly.

Hearing these four words, Chu Yi was stunned. This sentence was not said by the strange old woman who was in the Bell and Drum Tower.

I didn't understand this sentence before, but since the old man said it, let's ask the reason by the way.

"What do you mean?"

The old man looked at him and said bluntly: "Your Yin God travels far away on the ethereal shore, which means that you have a relationship with the Buddha." Since there is a relationship with the Buddha, then there is a Buddha nature. It's not enough to have Buddha nature, that heavy treasure on your body should be a Buddhist treasure, right?"

Chu Yi suddenly became nervous and didn't speak for a while.

Didn't speak, in fact, it was acquiescence.

The old man smiled and said, "It's a pity that your realm is too low, and that Buddhist treasure can't play a very key role for you." ”

Chu Yi said in a deep voice: "What do you want to say?"

The old man sighed to himself: "I am conceited that I am a genius, and I have thoroughly participated in the supreme law of the three families in my life, and I have achieved the supreme avenue. It's a pity that because of the heavy killing, he imprisoned himself here and atone for his sins. ”

"Atonement?" Chu Yi was puzzled.

The old man came from his heart and said slowly: "The Buddha said that life is in the breath. If you are born as a human being, you will not be able to control your own life, let alone prevent the disappearance of life and make it immortal. Since there is such an impermanent life, as a human being, we should cherish it, cherish it, enrich it, and make use of it, so that this impermanence and precious life can radiate the truth, goodness, and beauty of the academy, and reflect the value of life. Instead of sinking in greed, hatred, ignorance, slowness, and doubt, and falling into the Asura purgatory forever. ”

The old man's words caused a great shock to Chu Yi, but there were two things that caught his attention, one was born as a human being, and the other was as a human being. Since he is human, why does he use a non-human position to explain these truths?

Unless he's not human. This once again verified the judgment in Chu Yi's heart. The old man in front of him is likely to be a gluttonous person.

"You're not human?" Chu Yi said coldly.

The old man was slightly stunned, and then said with a pleased smile: "I'm not human. ”

After a pause, the old man added, "I am a Buddha!"

Chu Yi's jaw jumped in shock, but he didn't expect this old guy to blink when he said a big thing.

"Are you a Buddha?" Chu Yi didn't believe it at all. Really fool him like a three-year-old.

The old man disagreed with his suspicions and smiled: "There is no difference between the Buddha and sentient beings, and the Buddha does not have one more hand and one foot than sentient beings, the difference is only that the Buddha's heart is clear and unhindered, and it is really at ease." And the mortal heart is covered with dust layer by layer, so that you can't see the real face clearly. The Buddha's mind is like a secret room, keeping the most important things from being lost, while the mind of ordinary people is like a garbage dump, piled up in the heart of the harmful, uncleanable, and causing oneself unmisery. ”

"After hundreds of years of bitter meditation, I have understood one word, and I have become a Buddha. ”

Chu Yi couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "What word?"

The old man said with a solemn expression: "Empty." ”

Speaking of empty words, Chu Yi naturally thought of common sayings in Buddhism, such as the four are empty, emptiness is color, color is emptiness, etc. This empty character is very common in Buddhism, and how can you become a Buddha by referring to the empty word?

The old man saw what he was thinking in his heart and said, "The Buddha said that the four major ones in the body are earth, water, fire, and wind, each with its own name, and those who have no self are empty and only empty and not empty. When I contemplate emptiness, I am devoiding not only the four aggregates, but the five aggregates, four of which are the color aggregates of one of the five aggregates, which belong to the material realm. ”

Chu Yi's eyes were full of confusion, and his thinking and consciousness unconsciously followed the old man's train of thought.

"So what are the aggregates?"

The old man said thoughtfully: "In addition to the color aggregates, there are also the four aggregates of receiving, thinking, acting, and knowing. People have five senses, and when they come into contact with the outside world, they have feelings or emotions, which are aggregates, and then they become aware of them, or they are interpreted as appearances, which are aggregates, and when they have perceptions or appearances of the external world, they will form a certain consciousness, which is cognition, and then they will produce the will to act, which is the aggregates of action. ”

Chu Yi's mind turned extremely fast, and after a little thought, he knew the difference between the five aggregates: "According to what you mean, the color aggregates are the material realm, and the other four aggregates are the spiritual realm. ”

The old man looked surprised: "You understand?"

Buddhism's perception of 'emptiness' is based on the 'four emptiness'. When he proposed that "the five aggregates are empty" as the reference stone, very few people could understand his theory, but they were resisted and ruthlessly suppressed by the entire Buddhist sect.

Therefore, he didn't expect that the "five aggregates are empty" that he had comprehended all his life would be broken by the young man in front of him. He claimed to have a very high Buddha nature, and he did not expect that there were people higher than him.

Chu Yi said modestly: "Sort of." But what is the origin of the emptiness of these aggregates?"

For the principle of "emptiness of the five aggregates", Chu Yi is based on his knowledge and theoretical system in the present world, especially the philosophical thinking he has.

People with philosophical thinking are able to peel back the cocoon of things and see the origin of things as much as possible.

The old man suddenly felt a kind of excitement about meeting a soulmate for thousands of miles, and couldn't wait to say: "The so-called 'me' in the world is only a temporary union of the five aggregates, and the 'me' actually does not exist. And the reason why people have suffering is that they don't understand this truth, but they have a strong attachment to the 'me' that arises from the aggregates, so how can they get out of the ordinary?"

"Those fools think that they can become Buddhas by understanding the 'four emptiness'. As everyone knows, there is still no liberation from the self formed by the combination of the five aggregates. The five aggregates are the law of life and death within the Three Realms, and only by emptying the five aggregates can we transcend the birth and death of the Three Realms, become a Buddha, and attain eternal life. ”

Chu Yi was deeply attracted by his words, and his expression was sometimes surprised, sometimes confused, sometimes distressed, sometimes flat...

The more the old man looked at it, the more he liked it, and he waited for hundreds of years, and finally waited for the excellent body in his mind. As long as you take his body and take it for yourself, then you can break the seal and leave this dark ghost place.

Then, revenge for revenge, go on a killing spree, and single-handedly pick the entire Xuanmen with the power of one person to vent the hatred in his heart.

According to Chu Yi's understanding, most ordinary people don't know that the 'I' composed of the five aggregates is empty, and even if they know that it is void conceptually, in fact, the attachment is still there.

In the secular world, most people live in greed, ignorance, slowness, and doubt every day, and have feelings of wanting to pursue, give up, love, and dislike things outside of their body, and they also have pride, low self-esteem, and insecurity.

If you look at the aggregates from the standpoint of emptiness. I am not attached to the 'I' that the aggregates are made up of, and I am not attached to the individual aggregate phenomena, so I am not afraid to live in life and death. Since we are not greedy for the aggregates and do not hate the aggregates, we continue to live sentient beings in life and death, and we do not have to flee from birth and death, so there is no point in life and death.

Isn't it exactly what the old man said, "Only by emptying the five aggregates can we transcend the birth and death of the Three Realms, become a Buddha, and attain eternal life."

At this time, Chu Yi's "Yin God" suddenly opened his eyes and muttered: "There is life and death, and life and death are impermanent, which is emptiness." If there is no emptiness, all the Dharma will be accomplished, and if there is no emptiness, everything will not be accomplished. ”

As soon as the words fell, a statue of a Buddha with closed eyes appeared above his head, with a golden body and a compassionate and solemn body.

At this time, Chu Yi had already walked out of various emotions, and his eyes became clear and transparent again.

He felt a qualitative change in the Yin God in his body, and this change could not be sure how beneficial it would be to the body for the time being, but it was obviously beneficial and harmless.
