Shi An couldn't, sighed and said, "Then I'll hurry back, but it's a pity that I can't attend your ceremony." ”

"It's nothing, it's just a ritual. As for the issue of removing your inner disciple identity, I thought about it for a while, so I don't need to say it in public, there are not many disciples who know your identity now, and they will forget it after a while, and the removal is not good, and the management of future disciples is not effective, are you right?"

"You're right," Shi Andao, in fact, he is also like a mirror in his heart, canceling his identity, he will inevitably write all the events of today in his case record, and it will inevitably dilute Yuan Chunzi's merits in the future, but it is better not to explain his identity and be slowly forgotten by everyone. "I also want to see Uncle Yuan Miao, and I won't say goodbye to you anymore after I do. There will be a date later!"

Without looking back, he walked towards Yuan Miaoko.

Yuan Miaozi was looking at the sky at this time, muttering something in her mouth. Shi An knew that he was comforting Yun Shan's spirit in the sky, so he didn't dare to disturb it, and just waited on the side.

After a while, Yuan Miaozi retracted her gaze, saw Shi An staying by her side, and hurriedly pulled him over and said, "Yun An, thank you so much, I finally made my wish come true for many years." ”

Shi An looked at the white-haired old man with a complicated expression, fell to his knees, and kowtowed three times.

Yuan Miaozi didn't know why, so she hurriedly pulled him up and asked, "Yun'an, why is this?"

"Uncle Shi, although we have never had the identity of master and apprentice, we have long been a master and apprentice, and we have more master-apprentice feelings. From today onwards, I no longer have the status of a disciple of the Four Elephants, and I no longer dare to call you uncle, but I will never forget your teachings, your help to me, and your kindness to me. ”

"Why are you leaving? Did Yuan Chun say something to you? I'll go to him now and ask him to take back his life. Yuan Miaozi said in shock.

"It's none of the sect master's business, I have some more important things to do, and I won't be able to serve you by your side in the future. Before leaving, I have a few words to say to you, the sect master is a very thoughtful person, no matter what he says in the future, you just nod your head and don't express different opinions; you don't have to worry too much about the affairs of the sect, the sect master has his own ideas, you just need to put more effort into cultivation, I think it is not a problem to cultivate to the Yuan infant stage. Shi An said sincerely.

"Child, since you have made up your mind, I will not force your hind legs, the road to cultivating immortals is long, you have to be good, don't forget my old bones. As for the Yuan Infant Period, I am afraid that there is no hope in this life, and our generation has already produced a Yuan Infant Monk, so I don't have much hope. Seeing that the child he regarded as his own was about to leave, he couldn't help but cry.

"Don't say that, you will definitely become the second infant monk of the generation of the Four Elephants. By the way, there are some other items that you can keep. Shi An's eyes were also red, he patted his chest, took out the diamond rope and the golden talisman from the cave stone, and handed them to Yuan Miaozi with both hands.

"Child, you should keep this, and you can use it after you get married in the future. "The old man didn't take anything.

"Uncle Shi, this is the last time I can call you that, and I won't be able to fulfill my filial piety by your side in the future, so these things should be regarded as a thought. ”

The old man didn't say anything after hearing this, silently took it and put it in the storage bag, and gently patted Shi An's shoulder.

Shi An didn't dare to say anything more, his heart was crossed, and after kneeling down to the old man again, he turned around and left without looking back. But he said silently in his heart: "Master, if you haven't advanced to the Yuan Infant Stage within a hundred years, I will find a way to help you!"

Shi An got on the flying boat and went straight to the Twin Towers City as fast as he could.

Two hours later, inside the Pavilion of Ease.

Shi An hurriedly summoned Wu Gang, Lao Li and others, and simply told them that Yuan Daozi, the original sect master of the Four Elephants, would come to take revenge, and instructed: "Yuan Daozi returned to the Wei family, and when he saw people going to the empty building, he must have known that it was the Four Elephants Temple that took the people, and he should try to rescue them first, but this is not something that can be completed in a while." And afterwards, he will definitely pour his anger on us, afraid that he will come to take revenge on Yizhige after a while. But just to be on the safe side, you should now dismiss all the guys, take everything that you can take with you in the shop, and tell them to come back when the weather is calm and you will reopen, so go about it now. ”

When it comes to life safety, these people dare not slack off, so in less than two hours, people went to the empty building, and even the sign of Yizhige has been taken off and buried deep underground.

Wu Gang walked up to Shi An, handed over a few storage bags, and said: "Mr. Yizhi, these bags contain the income and various formation materials for more than a year, now you put it away, I will take my daughter to hide for the time being, and when I resume business, I can go to the Chengdongtou Inn to find me and other guys." ”

Shi An knew that Wu Gang was an upright person and had a share of himself, so the others naturally had their dues, so he was not hypocritical, and sent them away after accepting the storage bag.

What should I do next? Will I stay here and set up a formation to deal a head-on blow to Yuan Daozi? Or will I hang it high and leave the difficult bones to Yuan Chunzi to solve? Shi An was a little undecided.

Forget it, even if the formation is laid out, Yuan Daozi will suffer a second time if he suffers a loss, so even if he sets up the formation, he may not be able to hold him, so don't make trouble for yourself.

The top priority is to go to the Polar Sea School first, and returning the "Extreme Sea Heart Method" is another matter. It's too late today, so why don't you go tomorrow morning? Thinking of this, Shi An decided to find an inn to rest for the night.

The city of the Twin Towers at night is also lively, the people here are simple, and the public security is still good.

Shi An slowly thought about walking towards the center of the city. When he passed by Fengying Courtyard, his heart moved, and he suddenly remembered a question that had been bothering him for a long time, why not take this opportunity to go to Master Jingyi to solve his doubts.

Master Jingyi was meditating in the meditation room, and when he saw that the monk had attracted Shi An, he got up and said with a smile: "Donor, don't come to harm?"

Shi An also hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Thanks to the blessing of the great monk, everything is fine." I have nothing to do tonight, and I want to discuss with the great monk, is it convenient for you?"

"Good, good, it's rare for the donor to have this interest, the poor monk can't ask for it, but I don't know what the donor will discuss with the poor monk?"

"There's a question that keeps bothering me. I still remember when we first met eight years ago, when I guessed that this was the Great Sealing Array, you said that I should not tell outsiders about it, and that I would not be able to leave the temple unless I swore by the demons in my heart. I guess you were motivated to kill at that time, is this contrary to the compassion advocated by Buddhism, or is it my misunderstanding of Buddhism?"

"The donor's memory is really good, and this matter can still be remembered in his heart. Actually, the donor misunderstood what I meant, and I didn't let the donor leave the monastery because I didn't want to kill him, but because I wanted you to meditate in the monastery until you understood my distress. Also, what you said doesn't involve the compassion of Buddhism. ”

"Oh, what is the meaning of the so-called compassionate heart of Buddhism, doesn't it mean that Buddhism does not allow killing?"

The benefactor understands compassion too narrowly. Do you know what 'compassion' and 'compassion' mean in Buddhism?"

Shi An shook his head, he had never been in contact with Buddhism, and naturally he didn't understand its teachings, so he honestly said, "I would like to listen to the teachings of the great monk." ”

"Compassion is to love sentient beings and give them happiness, and compassion is to have compassion for sentient beings, to empathize with their suffering, and to remove their suffering. So compassion is to make sentient beings free from suffering and happy. ”

"In that case, if you imprison me, then I will lose my happiness and increase my pain because I have lost my freedom, and you have given all this, will it not make me miserable from happiness?"

"Donor, the bitterness you speak of is the bitterness and happiness in the eyes of the world, not the suffering and happiness that Buddhism says. Most of the happiness that people in the world feel and pursue is health, wealth, family and beauty, or the happiness of the five desires such as wealth, sex, fame, food, and sleep, and the loss of these is suffering. However, Buddhism believes that these happiness are short-lived and impermanent, and to indulge in these so-called happiness is to plant the karmic fruits of the future. The true happiness that Buddhism talks about is nirvana, which is the elimination of all afflictions and the absence of bondage, a kind of quiet, cool, and comfortable happiness, when Nirvana is attained, life and death have been exhausted, Brahmana has been established, what has been done has been done, and there is no afterthought, that is, the root of suffering is eliminated, and it is proved to be the happiness of Nirvana. "Jing Yi told the story.
