Silent.

Silent silence.

Surrounded by such an atmosphere, even if Jiang Yuye had already prepared, he still couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive at this moment.

Buddha is the Tao.

Although this truth has been confirmed by countless people in later generations, in this world of 'Zhu Xian', except for the future protagonist 'Zhang Xiaofan', no one seems to be able to understand the meaning of this sentence, right?

The Dao Xuan Zhenren of Qingyunmen can't, the valley master Yun Yilan of Incense Valley can't, and Puzhi, one of the four great monks of Tianyin Temple, can't.

"......" His hands were slightly folded together, and Pu Zhi slowly bowed to him under Jiang Yuye's slightly expectant gaze, and said: "The little benefactor has a wonderful idea, can solve the world's concerns, can speak the root of ten thousand laws, and the poor monks will obey." ”

Let's talk about it.

As if to show his sincerity, Pu Zhi bowed very religiously, and he looked like a believer bowing and worshipping.

Sitting directly opposite Pu Zhi, Jiang Yuye, who saw this scene, hurriedly moved his position, avoided Pu Zhi's bow, and said: "Master doesn't have to be like this, the kid's words are just children's words, it's okay to laugh, it's really impossible." ”

"Besides, the master's cultivation of Buddhism is profound, and at a glance, how can he not know that the kid is just the son of a resident in this Caomiao Village, but he would never dare to say that he would like to obey."

His words are reasonable, as if what he said before was just 'flowers in the mirror, moon in water', giving people a very unreal feeling.

But......

This can be regarded as a round of Jiang Yuye's lie, and at the same time, it also clicked on the deepest knot hidden in Puzhi's heart by the way.

As a prophet, Jiang Yuye didn't understand Puzhi's crazy desire to pursue immortality, but how could all animists be slaughtered at will?

So when Jiang Yuye saw this paragraph, he also secretly sighed that Pu Zhi was obsessed with his pursuit of immortality.

"This ......"

Turning the Buddha beads in his hand, Pu Zhi didn't know how to speak for a while.

Originally, in his opinion, although the child sitting opposite him was only eight or nine years old, his high talent and strange ideas had surpassed most cultivators in the world.

Cultivation, cultivation, what is cultivation?

It's nothing more than immortality, what did he Puzhi come to Qingyunmen from Tianyin Temple thousands of miles away this time?

Isn't it just that you want to combine the strengths of the two families of 'Buddha' and 'Tao', hoping to understand the mystery of immortality?

But what should have been such an idea was heard in the mouth of a child.

Buddha is the Tao?

In other words, isn't 'Buddha' being 'Tao' and 'Tao' being 'Buddha'?

If you think about it this way, how should the 'devil' deal with itself?

"Even if what the little donor said is reasonable, the poor monk also has a reluctant request, hoping that the little donor can solve the doubts in the old man's heart for many years."

Want to ask about immortality?

After thinking for a while, Jiang Yuye bowed slightly, and said calmly: "Master, please say, the kid must know everything." ”

"Amitabha." After reciting a Buddha name, Pu Zhi turned the Buddha beads, and said with slightly condensed eyes: "Since the little donor said that 'Buddha is the Tao', what is 'Demon'?" ”

"......" Hearing this question coldly, Jiang Yuye was a little surprised and stunned.

Of course, this is not to say that Jiang Yuye was stumped by this question, as a prophetic traveler, he has long been familiar with the concepts of 'Buddha', 'Tao', and 'Demon', and it is not that he has not read similar novels in the past, so naturally he also has his own unique opinions on this kind of problem.

The reason why he is stunned now is entirely because the questions raised by Puzhi have gone beyond the original Puzhi itself.

There is no other reason, in the original work, in order for future generations to understand the 'mystery of immortality', the old monk Puzhi did not hesitate to incarnate as the evil ghost Rakshasa to slaughter dozens of households in Caomiao Village, so that 'Qingyunmen' had to take 'Zhang Xiaofan' and 'Lin Jingyu' into his door.

But now the situation is different, this old monk did not mention the 'theory of immortality' at this moment, but asked the question of 'demon'.

Could it be that in his heart, the understanding of 'demons' is far more important than the dissection of 'the mystery of immortality'?

To be honest, Jiang Yuye's heart was full of surprises.

However, the accident is unexpected, Jiang Yuye, who had just come back to his senses, said in a somewhat complicated tone after thinking about it for a while: "All the laws in the world return to the same place, and there are three thousand avenues implied under the way of heaven, whether it is 'Buddha', 'Tao', and 'Demon', the three are actually similar, you must know that 'Buddha is a demon', 'a demon is a Buddha', a thought becomes a Buddha, and a thought becomes a demon, but this is also the truth." ”

It is true that in the world where Jiang Yu lived at night in the past, this concept was actually the knowledge recorded in many 'Buddhist scriptures'.

I remember that in the commentaries of those 'Buddhist scriptures', it was once said that 'Erhui Zen Heart' is also exactly this truth.

Well.

To tell an easy-to-understand example, 'Journey to the West', a book that was listed as the 'Four Great Masterpieces' in later generations, the protagonist Sun Wukong is actually a typical case.

One thought can protect the Tang monk Xitian to learn scriptures, complete the great cause, and achieve the Buddha's position, but the other thought will give birth to a violent demon, entangled with himself and his heart.

Even a more appropriate reality, that is, Puzhi himself, after taking the 'Three-Day Death Pill', didn't he also become a 'demon' because of a thought?

Therefore, the theory that 'Buddha is a demon' and 'a demon is a Buddha' is also universally applied to the world of 'Zhuxian' in a sense.

"A Buddha is a demon, and a demon is a Buddha."

The mouth kept muttering this meaningful word, and Pu Zhi's originally kind face was also constantly intertwined and changing at this moment.

His eyes were closed, and his complexion was sometimes kind, sometimes miserable, sometimes bitter, sometimes penetrating.

Seeing this happening in front of him, Jiang Yuye, the initiator, of course understands what is going on.

Puzhi, the old monk, is about to break through.

If he can understand it, the Dharma will go to the next level, far behind the other three great monks of Tianyin Temple, but if he can't understand it thoroughly......

Then at that time, not only will Pu Zhi incarnate as the big devil, but he Jiang Yuye will definitely be one of the first ants to be killed.

Thinking that his own life seemed to be still in the hands of this old monk, Jiang Yuye couldn't help but sigh lightly at the moment.

Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs.

This sentence of the first sentence of the five volumes of the Book of Heaven in the World of 'Zhu Xian', a fragment of a certain chapter in the Tao Te Ching, is indeed a true expression of the wonderful relationship between 'heaven', 'earth', and 'man'.
