The bleak wind and cold rain shrouded the thousand-year-old temple, and the morning bell and dusk drum revealed the meaning of desolation.

The originally quiet and peaceful green tiles, yellow walls, and moss of ancient trees have turned into ruins. The white tower, which had directly withstood the impact of the Demon Slayer, tilted about 20 degrees, looking crumbling.

Even after a day and a night of sorting and purification, there is no way to remove the stench and putrid poison left by the demon corpse of the Heavenly Demon King's remnants. Dirty blood and venom have corroded the ground and walls into pits.

More than half of the monks of the Three Pagoda Temple were killed and wounded, and the bodies of the dead had just been cremated. According to the presiding officer's wishes, the ashes were deposited in the sloping white pagoda to commemorate their exploits. A group of eminent monks sat around the White Tower, using spells to repair the White Pagoda while overtaking the souls of the dead.

Xiang Ningxuan walked into the Three Pagoda Temple under such circumstances, and the monks in the temple were busy with their own affairs, and no one came to greet him at all.

He sniffled, and walked straight to the vicinity of the White Pagoda before finding the host of the Three Pagoda Temple, and said, "Presiding, this place is full of demonic energy, and I am afraid it is not a place to stay for a long time." ”

Yesterday, Xiang Ningxuan, Rong Zheng and the others relied on their special abilities to clean up most of the demonic energy pollution, otherwise, I am afraid that this place will become a human demon domain.

Magical contamination isn't that easy to remove. Just like cleaning a dirty house, the first round of garbage is more than half of the garbage, but the house is far from clean, and it takes much more time and energy to clean up the remaining garbage than the first round.

This is the case with the Three Pagoda Temples now. Magical energy is much more difficult than garbage, and its pollution and corrosion penetrate deep into the horns of Gada, seeping into the land of construction. If people live in such an environment for a long time, it is easy to become corrupted.

Now the combat power is getting higher and higher, and a battle may only take a few hours, but it will take a long time to heal the wounds caused by the battle.

The host sighed: "The tower is here, as long as these three white towers are here, we must be stationed here and rely on the white tower to purify this land." Of course, disciples who do not cultivate enough will be placed separately. ”

Since the monk insisted, Xiang Ningxuan no longer persuaded him, and he didn't have time to stay here to help clean up the ruins, but got up and bowed to the dead, and then stepped into the void and entered the plane where the Fuxian Bodhisattva was.

A gray-black mist filled the surroundings, and the deep demonic qi tried to erode everything, and all kinds of negative emotions disturbed the mind. Xiang Ningxuan almost suspected that he had run back into his dream.

Fortunately, a golden light barrier not far ahead isolated the demonic fog, and Fuxian sat cross-legged on the back of the six-tusked white elephant, and when he saw Xiang Ningxuan coming, he smiled and said hello.

Xiang Ningxuan rushed into the golden light barrier and asked, "Bodhisattva, why are you like this here?" ”

"The demonic energy released by the death of the Heavenly Demon King is huge, and the more I absorb it here, the less pollution the outside world will be."

Xiang Ningxuan said admiringly: "The Bodhisattva has a heart. ”

"If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell, that's what Jizo said." Fuxian said, "Why did you come to me?" ”

Xiang Ningxuan hurriedly said, "I have determined that the Heavenly Demon King is possessed by me, and I want to ask you for advice on how to deal with it." ”

Fuxian said: "Self-cultivation and self-cultivation, just keep a normal heart." Everyone has demons, and as long as there is an obsession in the heart, there will be demons. Even if I have an obsession in my heart, so I will never become a Buddha, but I will not be trapped by demons. ”

Although Buddhism reveres the Buddha, it is actually a polytheistic religion, and theoretically everyone can become a Buddha. Buddha is the ultimate goal of Buddhist practice, let's just say that in Journey to the West, Sun Wukong has become a fighting Buddha. Although the four bodhisattvas have higher strength and status, they can still only have the bodhisattva position due to their obsession.

Xiang Ningxuan said: "But the Heavenly Demon King is different from ordinary heart demons, he is more cunning and powerful. I don't know if the Bodhisattva has any way to deal with the demons in his heart, and he will give some pointers. ”

Fuxian smiled and said, "First of all, your mentality is not right. What about the Heavenly Demon King, and what about the ordinary heart demons? It is only because you are afraid that you care about the difference between them. What about your fearless courage before? Positive energy such as self-confidence and courage is better than any other method. In the process of cultivation, mind cultivation is more important than self-cultivation, and only a strong heart can harness a strong force. And all kinds of desires, resentments, etc., will turn into inner demons and test the practitioner's heart. You must be guided by the Great Dao, keep moving forward, rely on your heart, and put an end to temptation in order to pass the test of your demons. ”

Xiang Ningxuan nodded again and again: "It makes sense, I think so too." However, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if. This Bodhi rosary lost more than half of it after the battle with the Heavenly Demon King, do you think you have made up for them? ”

"Oh~" Now Fuxian understood, Xiang Ningxuan was here to ask for benefits. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You kid, you are better than that monkey." There are only a few Bodhi seeds used in the Bodhi rosary, and they are gone when they are broken. I don't think you can use other Buddha treasures, only my jade pendant, which has an exorcism effect, can not only passively protect against the invasion of magic energy, but also actively dispel magic energy, so I will give it to you for self-defense. ”

After all, Sun Wukong is a monkey, no matter how good he is? Then the earth is not ruled by monkeys! Xiang Ningxuan played with the jade pendant, and said with a smile: "Hehe, thank you Bodhisattva." ”

The jade pendant is a gold and red interlaced color, which is warm and comfortable to the touch. Of course, it doesn't matter what the appearance is, before the end, Xiang Ningxuan couldn't even tell the difference between plastic and jade, and the level of equipment and the effect were meaningless.

After advancing the legend, for Xiang Ningxuan, everything can be reduced to energy. One piece of equipment that makes sense is the energy intensity, and the other is the energy circulation pattern. Energy intensity is the foundation and determines the grade of equipment; The energy circulation mode determines its effect, similar to gunpowder, which you can use to set off fireworks or use it as a weapon.

The golden red jade pendant sent by Fuxian contains extremely pure energy, and there are two ways to release it: an all-round protective shield and a fixed-point active impact.

Fuxian waved the lotus in his hand and said, "It's time for me to go back and recover my life." Before leaving, I still have to remind you that you don't have to worry too much about the demons in your heart, but you can't take it lightly. Wine corrodes people's hearts, and it is advisable to cultivate one's self-cultivation, but you must not forget your responsibilities, stick to your heart, and help the poor. We'll see you again! ”

Seeing that Fuxian said solemnly, Xiang Ningxuan also bowed and saluted, saying, "Follow the teachings!" ”

Just when Xiang Ningxuan raised his head again, he found that Fuxian had disappeared without a trace, and he himself had returned to the Three Pagoda Temple in reality.

Savoring Fuxian's words, Xiang Ningxuan summed up two points. One is self-improvement; The second is self-discipline. It is consistent with self-improvement and virtue.

Needless to say, self-improvement is necessary to constantly enrich oneself in order to achieve the great goal of socialism.

And if you want to be virtuous, you must first cultivate virtue, how can virtue come about? It's not enough to just eat, drink and be merry. Words and deeds should be in line with social ethics, such as diligence and thrift, respect for the elderly and love for the young, patriotism, dedication, integrity, friendliness...... Moreover, it is not a day or two, it needs to be maintained consistently.

Decades of cultivating virtue, and there are many examples of insecurity. Virtue is easy to say, but without full self-discipline, it can't be done at all.

Xiang Ningxuan slapped his thigh in annoyance, and said secretly: "How good it would be if it was ancient!" Three wives and four concubines were romantic, but now they have become obscene. Serve people with virtue and carry things with virtue, and Lao Tzu will be Buddhist in the future! ”
