Chapter 233: The Power of Merit
The strong man got up from the ground in a hurry, shook his shoulders, and said in surprise: "It doesn't hurt, it really doesn't hurt, thank you, little brother." ”
Lin Yun wiped his forehead, stood up and said with a smile: "That's good, you still have to pay more attention in the future, and you must treat your injuries in time." ”
The strong man smiled and nodded, and held the two bundles of firewood at both ends of the burden with both hands and handed them to Lin Yun.
Lin Yun smiled and waved his hand: "No, no, no, I just want this bundle, we agreed in advance." ”
The strong man patted the muscles on his arm: "Little brother, you helped me heal my shoulder, and I can beat as much firewood as I want in the future, how can this kindness be repaid by two bundles of firewood?"
Lin Yun was also happy in his heart, but he couldn't shirk the kindness of the strong man, so he had to reach out and take the two bundles of firewood, and smiled happily. Although these two bundles of firewood are not exchanged for much silver, they are more than enough for a small bag of rice.
But although a small bag of rice can solve the immediate need, it is still not a long-term solution, and after today, he still has to continue to make fate.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Yun arched his hand to the people around him: "Everyone listen to me." Coming from the Foguang Temple, today is to come for the fate, if you have any use for my help, please feel free to speak. Of course, I don't ask for much, as long as everyone asks, even if there is only a grain of rice or even no pay, I will help immediately. ”
The surrounding people suddenly began to discuss.
"It turned out to be a master of Foguang Temple, no wonder this short period of time can cure Shi San's illness for more than ten years. ”
"Foguang Temple is worthy of being a famous and decent family, and every once in a while he will send disciples to solve problems for us, which is really a great good person. ”
"Look at this young man, he is actually a high-ranking monk......"
......
At this time, on the big tree on the side, Shantideva sat quietly, staring at this scene, and muttered to himself, "Yes, Lin Jushi has a good understanding, maybe he can really understand the secret method......
After speaking, he clasped his hands together, and his body turned into a streamer and fled.
In the evening, Lin Yun returned to Foguang Temple with four bags of rice, and had just put the rice into the firewood room, but when he turned around, he almost bumped into the expressionless Shantideva.
"Great, Master. Lin Yun's heart trembled a little, and he saluted.
Shantideva turned his hand and took out the ring ruler and said indifferently, "Amitabha." Lin Jushi, although you have returned from fate, today you have committed a meat precept. ”
"Wait!" The little monk in front of the meeting stretched out his hand to wave the ring ruler, but Lin Yun hurriedly said something to stop him.
Unexpectedly, Master Shantideva was unmoved, and his hand trembled, and he slapped Lin Yun's ass three times.
"Huh-" Lin Yun screamed, Jun's face was covered with a thin layer of anger, it was really a bit embarrassing to be slapped on the ass by a person younger than himself.
"Amitabha. Lin Jushi must not be angry, lest he commit any more resentment. Shantideva Shi Shiran walked out of the firewood room.
"Hmph......" Lin Yun suddenly wilted, so he had to cook and clean honestly.
In the evening, Lin Yun was wiping the incense ashes under the mud Buddha in the main hall, but Shantideva suddenly walked up to him, looked up and patted him on the shoulder.
Seeing that immature face, Lin Yun was startled, and said with a wry smile: "Master, what are you doing? I didn't break the precepts." ”
Shantideva smiled and shook his head, and said, "Monk Lin said with a smile, the monk is doing well today, and the poor monk is considering passing on a secret method to you. ”
Hearing this, Lin Yun excitedly threw away the strip of cloth in his hand: "Come on, come on." "After a few days of hard work, it is finally time to harvest.
Shantideva stretched out his immature little hand and clicked on several acupuncture points on Lin Yun's body, and roughly explained the method of moving the muscles and veins, guiding Lin Yun to run the secret method in a circle, and then sighed inexplicably.
Lin Yun frowned, he felt that a strange energy seemed to appear in his body, but this energy was extremely weak, so weak that it was almost impossible to detect.
"Do you feel it?" asked Shantideva.
"Well, what is this?" Lin Yun concentrated that faint trace of energy in his palm, and after a while, his palm emitted a pale golden light.
"Amitabha. Seeing that Lin Yun was able to mobilize that trace of energy, Shantideva was a little surprised and explained, "This is the basic recipe of the invincible secret method that is rumored to be rumored by the outside world, and this golden light, we Buddha cultivators call it merit. ”
"Merit?" Lin Yun scratched his head strangely, that kind of thing that is like nothing, can actually be materialized?
"It's merit. Shantideva nodded.
"What is merit?"
"A mysterious thing, as long as you do good, you can produce merit. ”
Lin Yun dispersed that energy and said curiously, "What's the use of merit?"
"Look. Shantideva pointed to his eyebrows, and a dark golden swastika appeared, and the moment he concentrated his mind, the swastika slowly turned.
"I don't understand. Lin Yun shook his head blankly.
"When you have enough merit, you can use it like mana. Shantideva smiled, "The true realm of the poor monk is actually only the peak of Zhou Tian, but if you combine the power of merit with mana, you can exert a combat power comparable to that of refining gods." ”
Lin Yun was dumbfounded, in this way, the power of this merit is too against the sky, and it really deserves to be the first secret method in the world.
Shantideva seemed to have some insight into Lin Yun's thoughts, and he folded slightly and explained, "This secret method in the temple, which has been handed down since ancient times, can materialize merit and combine it with mana, but to be honest, the poor monk has not been able to understand its profundity until now. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
Shantideva raised his head and glanced at the Mud Buddha and muttered, "Anyone who cultivates Buddha generally has this secret method, but to be honest, the power is really not flattering. It is a shame to say that only one poor monk on the mainland has successfully condensed the word "swastika" on his forehead with merit, which is rumored by the masters to be the first secret method in the world, Amitabha Buddha. ”
"I see. Lin Yun sighed.
Foguang Temple became famous because of Shantideva, and presumably in the future, whenever there are masters who come to the temple to forcibly obtain the secret method, Shantideva will also teach this secret method. But those who covet the world's first secret method, where do they have the patience to do good deeds and accumulate merits?
"It's no wonder that all the masters who entered the temple have become monks, and all of them have left the world. Lin Yun knew the psychology of these people well, and after they discovered the secret of the secret method, they must have been disappointed, how many people would really become monks?
"I only know what it is, but I don't know why it is, and I am ashamed. Shantideva smiled wryly.
Shantideva had the world in mind and dreamed of attaining this secret method and passing it on to those who came to seek it. In this way, those who have acquired this secret method will continue to accumulate merit by doing good deeds in order to enhance their self-cultivation, and if they are evil, the merit will disappear.
"It's a good way to purify all beings. Lin Yun praised, no wonder Mo Zixun wrote the word "enlightenment" in his bag, and it seemed that he also wanted him to try to understand this secret method.
What's more, even if he failed to comprehend, he still succeeded in obtaining the power of merit, which can be said to be beneficial and harmless.
"Then, how can we gain merit?" After pondering for a while, Lin Yun asked the point.
"Amitabha. As the saying goes, don't take kindness as small as it is, but if you do good, you can gain merit. There is more or less merit, and if you do not do good but become evil, the merit will be diminished. ”
Hearing this, Lin Yun felt a little ashamed, his merits were almost invisible after refining such a secret method, it seemed that he really hadn't done much good deeds before.
"Then the master must have made a great merit, right?" Lin Yun said curiously. The power of the merit of this little monk in front of him is so strong, but how much merit can he do at such a young age?
"It's a shame to say that although the poor monk has a huge amount of merit in his body, he is born with it and has never made any great merit at all. Shantideva looked ashamed.
"Uh......" Lin Yun was speechless, this is the real source of great blessing, he was born with such merits, it is simply a step to the sky.
At this point, Shantideva took out the Buddha beads and said to Lin Yun: "Lin Jushi, let's stop here today, the poor monk still has to do evening classes, so he will not stay as a layman, and the layman should take care of himself." In addition, these days, lay people should go out and do more good deeds. After that, he no longer paid attention to Lin Yun, knocked on the wooden fish, and chanted the Buddha.
"Less accompaniment. Lin Yun closed his head lightly and retreated from the main hall.
At this time, Jian Yi and Jian Er were practicing sword feeding moves in the courtyard, and the two were originally familiar with each other, but unfortunately Jian Yi's memory was sealed later. But even so, there is still a peculiar bond between the two, and during the time he lived in Foguang Temple, Kenji asked Kenyi for a lot of advice on how to practice kendo.
Seeing Lin Yun watching from the sidelines, Jian Yi suddenly put away his sword and asked, "How are things going?"
Lin Yun smiled and shook his head: "It will take some time." ”
Who knew that Jian Yi nodded and said something that Lin Yun didn't expect: "Do you need me to make a move?"
"Not for now. Lin Yun was a little surprised, could it be that Jian Yi's memory began to recover?
"Hmm. Jian Yi is not a mother-in-law's person, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly spoke: "I received news, I don't know who leaked your whereabouts, and recently the Yiqi Congress sent a master to capture you back to blackmail Mo Zixun to withdraw from the army." ”
Hearing this, Lin Yun was not too surprised, a few days ago he heard that Mo Zixun had broken the Yiqi army several times on the border of the Snow Country, and if there was no accident, the war would end in a short period of time.
When the Yiqi army has no way to retreat, it is not surprising that it will think of some other way.
But in fact, this is really unnecessary. In recent years, Mo Zixun has gradually gained the momentum of being a master of the Great Victory, and after each big victory, the Hail Snow King will immediately order him to be a teacher. What's more, the five countries have stood on the mainland for so long, and the hidden power in private is unfathomable, and it is impossible to completely wipe out the neighboring countries when they are holding each other back.
"Well, I'll get rid of it for you. Seeing that Lin Yun was silent, Jian Yi shrugged his shoulders and said.
