21 Twelve causes

"Is it above Jingshan?" Zhao Yun looked at Jingshan, recalling the scene of the battle of Changbanpo, now Jingshan is empty, looking at the past, there is a faint Yangyouji Temple in the mountains and forests, which is the place where Cao Cao temporarily camped that day.

"Nope." Lian Sheng closed his eyes, as if he was feeling something, "The whole Jingshan is there." ”

"What?" Zhao Yun and Lang Tian were shocked at the same time, and Lang Tian sneered: "Could it be that the mountains will become demons?" ”

"It's not that the mountain has become a demon, it's that the demon has taken the whole mountain for himself." Lian Sheng said seriously, "If you dominate every stone and every branch and leaf with demonic power, isn't it him on the whole seat?" ”

"Amitabha, I didn't expect there to be such an amazing demon here." An Shigao looked at Lian Sheng, and felt that this little boy was indeed incredible, they had no ability to perceive demons at all, and at this time, listening to Lian Sheng, even An Shigao felt incredible.

"Above the Heavenly Dao, there are also demons, as I said just now, there are also beasts in the Heavenly Dao, these beasts are eager to get rid of the animal body, so they practice diligently, and gradually become demons, demons are not all evil, they can only cultivate into demons if they are good, and then suddenly die, and then reincarnate in the human womb."

"Indeed, if you want to truly practice and become enlightened, the human body is the most special." An Shigao said, "The so-called 'human body is rare and difficult to be worth Buddha', the human body suffers more and has less happiness, it is easy to get out of the heart, the three evil paths are too bitter, food and clothing can not be solved, and living in the fear of life and death all day long, how can you practice with peace of mind?" Heavenly Dao happiness is more and less suffering, so it becomes greedy, refuses to leave, and is not easy to become enlightened, so it is best to cultivate the human body. ”

"Sure enough, he is a high-ranking monk, but the humanists in this world are not kind to people, and they are no longer like people, so their life is short, the land is fragile, and it is not easy to cultivate the Tao." Lian Sheng sighed with emotion, "If you want to join forces with this big demon, you might as well go up the mountain and invite him." ”

Zhao Yun didn't want to provoke any demons, but the strength of the Asura clan was too terrifying, as Lian Sheng said, if he could join forces with demons, he would have more strength, so why not?

"It's okay to go and see it, Zhao Yun, Langtian, what do you say?" An Shigao looked at Jingshan, and Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Okay, it's okay to go and have a look." ”

Langtian was silent, and they thought he agreed.

Zhao Yun flicked the horse's head and ran straight to the back of Jingshan.

It was late at night, a full moon hung in the treetops, and the cool breeze was blowing on Jingshan, so the three of them slowed down and walked towards the mountain on the winding mountain road.

"Ahh——!!!h

On the opposite hill, several wild wolves ran up the cliff and screamed together into the sky, and then a giant gray wolf came out of the pack and crouched alone on the edge of the cliff, and the other wolves retreated behind him.

He raised his head towards the moon, and suddenly opened his mouth, and a blue inner pill spat out, dripping and spinning in the air.

Everyone was attracted by this unique picture, and Zhao Yun said in a low voice: "I once heard Wei Boyang say that animals can cultivate the inner pill in front of Taiyin on the fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth days of every month, this old wolf's inner pill has been refined so big, there must be decades of Taoism, right?" ”

"No, you're wrong." Lian Sheng turned around and said, "At least a thousand years of Taoism." ”

Zhao Yun was surprised in his heart, the wolf closed its eyes, opened its mouth to the moon, and the wolves behind him looked around vigilantly, obviously protecting the giant wolf.

A gust of wind blew, and several wolves suddenly shook their bodies and looked at the three of them in unison.

Although the three of them were far apart, the gentle sound of horses' hooves was heard by the wolves.

The giant wolf still held its head high, ignoring it, and several other wolves rushed down.

"Oops, found out!" Zhao Yundao said with a smile: "A few wolves who have not attained the Tao, how can they get you?" ”

Walk!

The three of them hurried up at the same time and hurried up to the mountain.

In the mountains and forests behind, it seems that the wolves have caught up.

That's fast!

The three of them ran to Yangyouji Temple.

At the end of the last section of the mountain road, there is the temple, the wolves behind him are extremely fast, and they are about to catch up, Zhao Yun grabbed the water and prepared to fight, but suddenly a few bright lights flashed in front of him, Zhao Yun hurriedly turned his head sideways to dodge, and a dense light appeared in front of him.

"Hide!" Zhao Yun picked up Lian Sheng, moved left and right, and avoided them one by one. Lang Tian and An Shigao are not afraid of these bright lights and can easily dodge them.

But I heard the howl of wolves and the sound of rolling down the cliff from the bottom of the mountain.

The trail is crooked, and these bright lights will turn and shoot into the wolves behind.

In the blink of an eye, the three of them rushed to the front of the temple, only to see a huge statue of Yang Yuji erected in front of them, with a curved bow in his hand, and the bow flashed like a bright light.

Zhao Yun suddenly realized: it turned out that the bright light just now was really like an arrow shot by this statue.

"Welcome!"

The door of the temple creaked open, and a slender man walked out of the darkness, under the moonlight, his skin was pale, his long hair was fluttering, and there were two purple "tear stains" under his eyes, dressed in a red and black robe, standing upright at the door, nine feet tall.

"Fortunately, friends from heaven and humanity." The man arched his hand, "The wild wolf on the mountain has been driven away by me, you can rest assured." ”

"Are you the owner of this mountain?" Zhao Yun looked at him and saw that he was very young, and he only looked like he was in his twenties.

"Master? Whose master am I? Who is my master? The young man suddenly said something inexplicable.

An Shigao said with a smile: "The host and the guest are empty, the master is the guest, the guest is the master, where your heart dwells, where is your master." ”

The young man nodded slightly and said, "Well said!" The heart and the place, is it two, is it one? ”

"It's one, it's not two." An Shigao said without thinking, "The law is equal, there is no superiority, and there is no guest and host." ”

"So, who is 'I'?" The young man continued to ask.

"'I' is the body, the spirituality, the divine consciousness, the reincarnation, this is the false self of the true self, the true self has no self, everything is me, that is, all things are not me, and the true self is proved without the false self. There is still the delusion of 'me', and I will never be able to prove the true self! An Shigao closed his eyes and talked eloquently.

The young man was a little surprised, frowned and thought about it carefully, and then asked, "How do you prove your true self?" ”

"Away from the name, the knowledge is empty, the origin of all laws is empty, and all are the image of harmony, where is the truth?" An Shigao continued, "To put it simply, the twelve causes and conditions constitute you, me, and him! ”

"What are the 12 causes?"

"Ignorance, action, knowledge, fame, sex, six entry, receiving, loving, taking, being, birth, old age, sickness and death."

The young man's eyes widened suddenly, as if he had suddenly realized.

What An Shigao said, Lang Tian could hardly understand, Zhao Yun had a little experience after a period of Buddhist practice and understanding, and at this time he was also reminiscing about An Shigao's words, while Lian Sheng was silent, unable to see what she was thinking.

"If you practice from the 12 causes, what kind of fruition will you attain?" The young man asked.

"This is called 'Yuanjue', also known as the Buddha of the Branch, who has left the six realms and has entered the threshold of the sages." Ann Shigao clasped his hands and said.

The young man bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, I was taught." For the first time in more than 800 years, I have heard these words like an initiation, and the problem that I have been thinking about for many years has been solved. ”

"You, you're the demon here?" When Lang Tian heard him say "more than 800 years", he became alert.

"Hehe, when I was practicing here, this temple hadn't been built yet. When I practiced here until I extended my life, Yoyuki was still a little hairy child! The young man laughed wickedly.

"Good, good, good!" Lian Sheng suddenly applauded, "In this human world, although you are not the beast who has been cultivating for the longest time, you are already very rare. ”

"This master, please stay, and the rest, please!" The young man stepped forward a few steps to leave An Shigao, and An Shigao said: "These are my friends, we come and go together, I don't know what your name is?" ”

"My name is 'Jumi'." The young man smiled, "This Zhao Yun just met you last month!" ”

Zhao Yun said: "Last month's bloody battle in Nagasaka, I don't know that this is your residence, if you are offended, please Haihan." ”

"Your kung fu is good, I admire you!" Judgment Jian smiled, "It's rare for an ordinary human being to have such a cultivation, okay, Zhao Yun will stay with this master." ”

When Lang Tian saw that he gave the order to evict guests, he was already unhappy in his heart, and was about to speak, but Lian Sheng rushed ahead: "Judgment, today we came up to the mountain, not to discuss the Tao with Zazen, but to discuss one thing with you!" ”

"Oh? What's the matter? Interrupted's tone changed, and he stared at Lian Sheng coldly.

"Don't beat around the bush, the Asura King has come to this humanity, and the human race will be in danger of extinction, and your demon world will also be cleansed by the Asura." Lian Sheng accentuated his tone.

He was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "You kid, you have a lot of knowledge!" I've already been told about this. By the way, Zhao Yun, you've seen the swift step, he's also my partner! ”

Hurry, that's the four-armed weird guy!

Zhao Yun remembered, isn't this rush going to seize Xuanwu? Later, he was repelled by Zhang Fei at the Nagasaka Bridge, and there has been no news since then, but he didn't expect this rapid step to be the demon world.

"Hmph, I don't care at all about the destruction of humanity or not!" Seeing this, he turned around and walked towards the temple.

"If humanity becomes extinct, where will you go to be reincarnated?" An Shigao said a word, and stopped when he saw it.

After a long time, he turned his head and smiled strangely: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, please come and talk about it, everyone, how do you want our demon world to cooperate with you?" We can discuss! ”

"Find the Asura King, deal with the Asura together, and make a blood contract!" Lian Sheng said coldly.

Breaking looked at the moon and sighed, "The blood contract? It's the contract that once it's made, you can't go back on it, or you'll end up in Infernal Hell, right? ”

He turned around, his eyes opened slightly, his tone changed, and he said, "Okay, I also have a request, our request is to let our little demons, after signing the contract, immediately enter the womb, and add them to the 'Epiphany King Medicine'!" ”

An Shi said in a low voice: "You will disrupt the order of the Law Realm like this, and it will only bring you evil consequences!" ”

"What do you mean?" Zhao Yun was a little puzzled, and Lian Sheng explained: "'Epiphany King Medicine' can grow the little demon after entering the womb rapidly, and it can be born after three months, and it can grow up after a year, and it has the power of the demon." ”

"Hmph, if they don't enter the womb, with the old bones of animals they have cultivated for many years, how can they be Asura's opponents?" Interrupti smiled.

"I know your purpose, and I can take this opportunity to strengthen your demon clan." Lian Sheng laughed.

"You know what? Both the buyer and the seller, naturally want to get some benefits, if you want us to work for you, we will naturally get double the benefits, otherwise, who will do it? "Of course, I and some other demons who have attained the Tao don't need to be in the womb, and entering the womb will reduce our spiritual power!" ”

An Shigao, Zhao Yun and Lang Tian glanced at each other, and the three of them were hesitant, but they said unexpectedly: "Okay, so be it!" Sign the Pact of Blood! ”
