The monk touched his waist.

He thought that the monk was trying to get his hands on the knife and kill him. Unexpectedly, the monk took out a piece of dry food from his waist and stuffed it into his mouth.

He bit it in a hurry, and swallowed it before he could bite it with his teeth.

When the monk saw that he had eaten, he sat down beside him, dragged off his cloth shoes, and shook them vigorously with the soles facing up. The soles of his shoes must have gotten into the sand.

He thought to himself that perhaps the monk saw that he was pitiful and told him to eat something before he died, so as not to become a starving ghost. Death row prisoners are given a severed head meal before they are executed. Maybe the monk didn't want one more hungry ghost in the world, so he was full and ready to go on the road.

He thought for a moment.

The monk poured the sand out of his shoes and put them on.

He felt that what he had just eaten contained a lot of energy. After eating, his mind was much clearer, and his body seemed to be energetic.

The sunlight outside the cave was very strong, and there was a dull and boring cry outside. The scream seemed to have an invisible force pressing on his chest, making him feel that his breathing was not so smooth. He took a deep breath and then said to the monk, "Thank you, thank you for letting me eat a little before I die, so that I can die soberly." You're ready to go. ”

When the monk heard him, he took off his other shoe and poured out the sand from it.

He watched as the sand from the monk's shoes fell to the ground.

"If you want to die so much, what are you still cultivating to be an adult?" The monk finally spoke. His voice sounded a little low, like the bells of an ancient temple, clear and melodious, making people feel comfortable and reassured.

"It's not that I want to die, it's that the heavens want me to die, and people want me to die." He said disheartenedly.

"Heaven wants you to die because you are against heaven. People want you to die because of their selfishness and jealousy. In that case, why don't you obey the will of heaven and let it spare you; What about avoiding idlers and letting people spare you? The monk said.

He could tell that the monk was not here to harm him. He had just eaten something and had some strength in his body. He hurriedly sat up and asked, "Didn't the high monk come to take my life?" ”

The monk laughed and said, "If I come to take your life, won't it be easy?" I'm here to save you. ”

He couldn't believe it and asked, "Why did the monk save me?" ”

The monk did not answer him, but asked, "Why don't you want to think about why I lied to you?" ”

He thought about it for a moment and felt that the monk had a point. He was so hungry that he didn't have the strength to get up just now, and if the monk didn't want to save him, there was no need to give him food, and there was no need to say this.

"Aren't you afraid that people who want to kill me will deal with you? If you save me, they will recognize you as an enemy. He said.

The monk laughed, "In their world, I am their enemy. But as long as I don't see them as enemies, there are no enemies in my world. What others do has nothing to do with me, and what I do can't help others. So I only do what I think is right and don't think about anything else. ”

"Do you think that my cultivation of human essence is something that has nothing to do with others? The right thing? He lived for 500 years, and it was easy to tell the hidden meaning from his words.

The monk nodded.

"Doesn't your world have any enemies?" He was also curious about the monks' philosophy of life.

The monk shook his head.

When Grandpa heard the old man talk about this, he wondered≡ how could he have no enemies in his previous life? Didn't you remember that you were an enemy of the weak king in your previous life? Did the old man remember it wrong because it had been too long, or did he say it wrong in his previous life at that time? Daddy vaguely remembered the scene in the cave, but he had forgotten all about the conversation.

"You also have to enter a world without enemies in order to continue cultivating. If there are enemies in your world, you are in danger. The monk said.

"I can't cultivate without enemies in my world? But there are so many people who want to harm me, how can I not see them as enemies? He said blankly.

"Treat them as if they were nothing." The monk stood in front of his mouth with one palm, and the tiger's mouth was sandwiched with a string of polished Buddha beads.

"They're pushing me everywhere, and I can't treat them like nothing." He gritted his teeth.

"If you can't see with your eyes, will you see them as if they were nothing?" The monk's thumb flicked, and the beads slid between his fingers. "I have a method, so that the heavens will not punish you, and others will not be jealous of you, so that you can continue to cultivate, far beyond your current cultivation."

"Do you have a way? Let's hear it. He was amazed. The creatures in the world who want to break through the six realms and cultivate are all blocked by the heavens and sniped by humans everywhere. Animal cultivators in human form, in addition to avoiding lightning strikes, also have to avoid the capture of true and false Taoists, and their dangerous situation is no different from him. He has lived for more than 500 years, and he has never seen anyone who can avoid heaven and man. And this monk said that there is such a method in the world!

"It's easier said than done, but I'm afraid you can't." The monk said.

"As long as you don't die, there's nothing you can't do!" He said loudly.

The monk said: "To ignore the changes in the world, to ignore the hostility of the world, the only way is to destroy your eyes." ”

He shuddered and said, "Self-destruction? ”

The monk nodded.

He asked, "So make sure I continue to live like this?" The horror was followed by surprise. In the five hundred years he lived, he had suffered far more than the foreseeable pain of blindness. Although he escaped the thunderstorm many times, he was not uninjured. The lightning and fire had burned his skin, rattled his ears, and dazzled his eyes. Although he dodged the open sword and the hidden arrow many times, he never slept peacefully. At that time, he did not regard the sentient beings of the world as a merciless forest, he had people he knew, he had friends, but he saw these people die because of him.

If just not being able to see with his eyes can be exchanged for the departure of natural and man-made disasters, he feels that the exchange is worth it.

"Absolutely. Fortune tellers are very secretive, so they are often blind fortune tellers. Because the blind man can't see the consequences of the leakage of the heavenly machine, the punishment from heaven is lighter. In the same way, if you break through humanity and destroy your eyes and fail to see the world, you can also reduce your negative karma. This is one of them. Second, if you are blind, others will think that you are a weak person who cannot take care of yourself, and this will confuse others. ”

He knelt down and said, "Thank you for your advice!" ”

The monk helped him up and said, "Actually, man has a third eye, which is called the Heavenly Eye. If you are blind in both eyes, you can cultivate the third eye with great pain. As long as the eye of heaven is open, you can use it instead of your eyes to observe and feel the world. ”

He knelt down again and begged, "Ask the master to grant me the method of opening the eyes of heaven!" ”

So, the monk tried every means to get him out of the cave and then granted him the method of opening the eyes of heaven.

In addition to this, the monk also taught him many other secret methods, including the method of the peach wood talisman. The monk told him that the peach wood man is ineffective, but it can make ghosts, and if he encounters ghosts and monsters in the process of cultivation in the future, he can use peach branches or peach wood canes to drive them away.

In addition, the peach wood charm can also protect people who are very good at the eight characters. It stands to reason that a good person's life is good, and there is no need for a charm to protect it. But that's not the case. As the saying goes, "Shame is thin." He also said: "God is jealous of talents." "Everything that is too good will cause jealousy and people or other evil spirits want to destroy. The same is true for people who are too good at eight characters, who are prone to illness and pain since childhood, and have encountered more disasters than ordinary people. That's why some people say, "That person is too good, but he can't bear it for fear of life", that's what it means. What's more, they are in danger when they are born. Such a person needs the blessing of the peach wood charm.

The monk told him about the peach wood talisman, and he talked about it in front of his grandfather, and later told him how to make the peach wood talisman. Later, when I was born, I encountered a first aid, and my father and grandfather made a triangular peach wood talisman for me according to the human spirit, so that it could protect me.

I finally knew why my mother was so reverent with that mahogany talisman. I finally understood why my mother had worked tirelessly to water it every day, why she had searched for it everywhere that night, and why she still kept it.

The monk left after teaching him the cultivation method of the Heavenly Eye and the technique of the peach wood rune.

Before leaving, the monk told him to go to a certain place on a certain day and month many years later.

When he heard that the time had been too long, he asked, "Were you still in this world at that time?" Could it be that you are also a human spirit? ”

The monk smiled and did not answer him, but only said that he must go to that place on time and not miss the appointment.

The monk was his savior, and to a certain extent, his master, how could he not agree?

Soon after the monk left, he found a prescription that would blind his eyes if he washed it, and used a potion to wash his eyes away, so that he would no longer look at the colorful world and hide it in this colorful world.

Sure enough, for countless years afterward, he did not encounter a serious catastrophe. Except for a few people with a particularly keen sense of smell, he has not attracted too many people's attention.

He also finally realized the world where the monk said there were no enemies. He regards all the people of the world as a forest of grass and trees, and naturally does not regard a single tree or a forest as an enemy.

Over time, a lot of things are forgotten. But he kept in mind what the monk had said before leaving.

Today is the day when the monk told him, and this town is the place where the monk met him. So, he came here today.

After listening to the old man, Grandpa smacked his lips and said, "It turned out that I asked you to come here in my previous life." ”

The old man rolled his white eyes and smiled: "It's a pity that I can't see what you look like now, if I can see it, maybe I can see his shadow from you." However, since he has made an appointment with me for a time and place, he will definitely not miss the appointment. You're right? ”

"Yes. In this way, it was rainy a few days ago and you were going to leave me here and wait for you. God has that meaning too. Grandpa sighed.

Grandpa suddenly felt that every person he met in this life, every rain was arranged before meeting this person, before meeting this rain.
