Chapter 272: A Saint Monk Friend of Mine
He looks like a good guy.
His crying, his laughter.
His joys and sorrows seem to be just interpreting other people's stories.
It's not up to me.
Leiyin Temple is his destined fate and his final destination.
The ninth reincarnation Zen, finally cultivated to become a Buddha, and in the end, the cultivation was empty.
Nine lives and nine worlds, like a dream bubble, like a play.
In this 1,500-year-long reincarnation, his only gain is that he met a person in the reincarnation - a woman who has been waiting for him to go home since the first life, shouting to his back from the first life, 'It's good to live up to me in the next life', until the ninth reincarnation, and shouting to his departing back, 'Chen Xuanzang, if there is an afterlife, it's good for you to marry me'.
He could not defy fate, even though it was woven by someone else.
He can't decide his fate, and that fate is out of his control.
But he had the only option in his hands.
In the face of choice, he abandoned the Buddha and ended the reincarnation of the ninth life.
The cycle of reincarnation is ended, and there is no more reincarnation.
1,700 years ago, the majestic voice of the Buddha in the Great Leiyin Temple seemed to be still in the ears.
Even though 1,700 years have passed, it seems that people can still feel the will that made people feel chilled all over their bodies at that time.
Since then, there has been no second voice in the Western Heaven Buddha Kingdom, and there is only one will left.
Heaven and earth, the will of the only one.
Xu Xian sat on the eaves, looking at the lonely back in the distance, and felt a little astringent in his eyes.
Thousands of Buddhas chanted sutras and thousands of monks came to the court, but after all, they failed to fix the heart of a Buddha in the golden cicada, making it feel degraded and fall into the 'devil's path'.
Buddhism is known as boundless, self-proclaimed purity of sentient beings, when you want to kill someone, there is an angry eye Vajra, you can't control ** when you have joy Zen, you can't control your mouth, you can also say a sentence of wine and meat through the intestines, the Buddha left in his heart, to get rid of a demon, naturally the name is right.
So.....
Who is the lonely figure sitting in front of him looking up at the starry sky in the night?
This doubt has been haunting Xu Xian's heart.
After a long time, feeling that his surroundings were empty, Xu Xian saw the girl who was sitting next to him a moment ago appeared on another roof.
"Don't you think this sunset is beautiful?"
For the extra person next to him, the man in the wedding robe didn't seem to have the slightest surprise, nor was he half guarded.
He still looked up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, looking at the stars that appeared on the horizon, looking at the last sunset under the stars.
Yang Chan was silent, she knew that what the people around her needed was not her answer.
"I don't know why I like to watch the sunset so much, it seems that when I was not born, I liked to watch the sunset in a daze.
So when I was born, I always wanted to go inside that sunset, or even look at the back, to see what was there, if there was anything...... The people I should miss, the people I shouldn't forget.
It's just that, when I was just born, I didn't have that kind of power, I couldn't fly to the thirty-three heavens, and I couldn't go down to the eighteenth hell.
Born in the world, grown up in the world, trapped in the world. ”
The last sunset on the horizon was gone, and in the night sky, only a few stars remained, and his voice continued.
"I haven't been there, not once, although then I have that kind of strength, maybe I'm afraid, at least if I don't go, there is still hope.
Where there is hope, people will not despair.
Later, I developed this habit and ..... every day I have to take a look at the sunset, the only habit. ”
Yang Chan raised her head and followed the man's gaze, as if she saw the disappearing sunset, as if she saw the disappearing sunset, there was also a life looking here, looking at the people around her.
But she knew no, because ..... She's been there.
There was darkness and endless chaos.
Beyond Chaos..... It's death!
The man smiled, but he didn't make a sound, but he seemed to get the most satisfactory response.
"Let me tell you a story, the name of the story is: A friend of mine who is a holy monk.
The first time I saw him in reincarnation was in the yellow sand of his daughter's foreign country, when his whole body was buried by the rolling quicksand, and only one head was exposed. ”
He smiled, "You know, I've been a person since I was a child.... Oh, I didn't grow up, I was a good person from birth, so at that time I really wanted to save him.
It's just that he stopped me. ”
As if he had thought of something interesting, the man fell into reminiscence with a smile on his face.
"He told me that he didn't know until that moment that life was so short.
He said that he understood: it turns out that when you find what you love, you should pursue it desperately, because life will end at any time, fate is like the sea, when you can swim, you have to swim to your love.
Because you don't know when the wild current will come, sweeping away all hopes and dreams. ”
Yang Chan listened quietly, she knew...... He and he are the same people.
The man withdrew his gaze from the night sky and landed on Yang Chan's face for the first time.
"You know, when he said this, he was completely buried in the sand.
I saw that he was so faithful, and I stood there and hesitated for three hours, and finally thought that he should just be hard-mouthed, after all, I have the impression that he is such an unreliable person.
It's a pity that when I found out the truth and dug him up, he was already cold. ”
Later, when he heard the man say this, although he felt that he shouldn't be, Xu Xian couldn't help but laugh unkindly.
This smile caused the two people in front of him to laugh too.
After laughing for a while, the man continued, "I was so innocent at the time that I almost believed him.
At that time, I actually flew over and wanted to take a look.
Just halfway through the flight, I flew back again.
That's when I realized I was being tricked by that guy.
What kind of love and love he said, how can I understand that, what I am thinking about in my heart is that sunset?
No, a piece of sunset that I fell in love with, right? ”
The man was indignant, "After I came back, I threw him in the yellow sand in a fit of rage, and let the yellow wind wreak havoc on the corpse, in order to avenge this bastard for pit me when he died."
If people know what I did stupidly by a monk who played me to death, wouldn't my reputation be all over in that life?
Yes, at that time, I still felt how wise and powerful I was, and I felt that I could fly up to the thirty-three heavens and down to the eighteenth layer of hell, and the four seas could not trap me, and the three realms and six realms could not prevent me from transcending. ”
The man sneered, as if mocking himself, and as if accusing fate.
"Later, when I was trapped at the foot of the Five Prisons Mountain, I understood a truth.
I can't break through the thirty-six heavens, I can't crush the infernal hell below, my golden rod can't sweep into the abyss of ten thousand tribulations, and the seventy-two changes can't escape fate.
At that time, I wondered, why is this happening? It was they who asked me to find immortals, they made me cultivate my ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and they made me rank in the immortal class.
In the end, it was they who single-handedly brought me to that point, and in the name of demons, they crushed me under the Five Prisons Mountain. ”
From his words, Xu Xian heard the struggle, unwillingness, and ...... Confused.
He knew that he really didn't understand it then, and even now, he still doesn't seem to understand.
"The Ninth Reincarnation Zen came to the end, and before the Buddha Kingdom, he walked into the Five Prisons Mountain.
He told me that he had a new understanding, and he said that he understood and decided: I have forsaken everything he wants, leaving only my pure soul to my loved ones.
He stepped into the temple, thousands of Buddhas chanted, ten thousand monks came to the court, I know.... That was his last glory.
When I walked out of the Five Prisons Mountain, I saw that he really did what he said, he took off his robe, took off his monk's robe, wiped off the ring scar on the top of his head, and walked out of the Da Lei Yin Temple with his back to the Buddha in full view of everyone.
The moment he stepped out of the Great Leiyin Temple, I heard the voice of the Buddha Sect Ancestor: Turning his back on my Buddha and falling into the Demon Path.
I saw a giant palm, exactly the same as the one I had seen five hundred years ago.
It's just that he's not as lucky as me.
Even..... He failed to leave the purest soul of his loved ones. ”
After saying a long story, as if letting go of a heart, the man let out a long breath.
"At that moment, I seemed to understand something-
People like me who don't obey the discipline of the immortals have a unified name, called demons.
Those who turn their backs on the true Buddha like him also have a unified name, which is called Demon. ”
The man got up and smiled at Xu Xian and Yang Chan, his body changed for a while, turning into a ..... Wearing a phoenix-winged purple and gold crown, wearing gold chain mail, and stepping on lotus silk..... Monkey.
"Fortunately, Lao Sun's golden hoop stick can't hold up the sky and can't destroy the earth, but it can still sweep away a small piece of darkness."
The monkey smiled at Xu Xian and Yang Chan, raised his hand and pulled out three monkey hairs at the back of his head and blew them, and the monkey hairs fell into Xu Xian's hand.
"A welcome gift from Lao Sun!
It's been 1,700 years, and I finally fulfilled my old friend's deathbed request, I don't know this time..... What kind of thunderous fury did the Patriarch move?
Five Prison Mountain? Marble Mountains? Five Finger Mountain?
Around, but another five hundred years! ”
The monkey soared into the sky and disappeared into the night sky in an instant.
Looking at the direction in which the monkey left, Xu Xian was stunned and speechless for a long time.
After a long time, Xu Xian retracted his gaze, sighed, and turned his head to look at Yang Chan.
"Monkey King, do you know Chan'er?"
Yang Chan smiled, "I watched him grow up, and the other ...... His name is - the Great Sage of the Heart Ape! ”
The Great Sage of the Heart Ape!
Xu Xian silently recited this name in his heart.
After thirteen years of learning art, he cultivated the heart ape into a Monkey King who could not penetrate the heavens and the earth, and the forty-nine days of gossip furnace trained the eyes of the divine light everywhere, up to the thirty-three palaces, and down to the eighteenth layer of hell.
The Five Prison Mountains are determined to be apes, and they can't fix a rebellious heart.
Kill the heart ape to become Wukong, 1,700 years later, he still knows...... He is the Great Sage of the Heart Ape!
The daughter country was disillusioned at some point, and the Yin-Yang Zimu Lake disappeared from the Shu land, standing between the ruins, in a trance, Xu Xian seemed to hear what the system had not finished.
"Yin and Yang Zimu Lake is a once-in-a-century appearance, exists, and depends on obsession."
"System?"
After a moment of silence, Xu Xian's somewhat hesitant voice sounded in the sea of self-knowledge.
"Huh?"
"Let's ..... Have you ever been a Buddha or a demon? ”
"Don't worry!"
