Chapter 27: The Divine Monk or the Demon Monk (1)
Dazhou Mountain Outer Mountain, Leiyin Temple.
A small novice carried a food box and slowly came to the cave halfway up the back mountain.
This cave is the place where the founder of Leiyin Temple, the ancestor of the mountain, retreated and practiced.
Legend has it that the ancestors of Rulai preached the scriptures here for 3,000 years, retreated for 3,000 years, had an epiphany, and finally became a true Buddha, and since then he has jumped out of the Three Realms, is not in the Five Elements, and has become an eternal existence.
Today, it has become a prison for the Absolute Monks.
Ten years ago, despite the obstruction of the monks, the earth absolute monk forcibly cultivated the six reincarnations of the secret technique of Leiyin Temple.
In desperation, Lingyin, the head of Leiyin Temple, could only imprison him here, looking forward to the day when he could jump out of the magic barrier, have an epiphany, and become a Buddha on the spot.
"Ancestor, it's time to eat. The little novice opened the stone door and came to the small stone cave.
The cave is divided into two rooms, and the outer one has a stone table and four stone benches, on which a teapot and two teacups are placed. The water in the teapot was still warm, and it was obvious that it had just been soaked for a short time.
One of the rooms has a stone bed and two futons, as well as some scriptures.
Normally, at this time, as soon as the stone door was opened, the earthly priest would rush forward like a child and snatch the food from the little novice. But today, the surroundings are quiet, and the quiet little novice can hear his heartbeat.
"Ancestor, ancestor, are you asleep?"
An ominous atmosphere struck, and the little novice suddenly became nervous. He strode into the stone house, and was shocked to find that the Earth Absolute Monk was nowhere to be found, and only a severed iron chain was left on the ground.
This iron chain is the Leiyin Temple presided over the collection of 200 cast iron masters of the Great Zhou, which took three years and was made of 10,000 years of cold iron.
One end of the chain was firmly nailed into the mountain, and even if it was born with divine power, it would never be able to pull it out. The other end is placed on the ankle of the right leg of the Earth Absolute Monk.
However, after all, the iron chain is a dead thing, and people who really have great magical powers cannot be locked by just one iron chain.
The food box fell, and the steamed buns in the box spilled all over the ground. The little novice rushed out of the cave in horror and shouted, "Abbot, it's not good, the Earth Absolute Ancestor is gone." β
Flocks of birds soared into the sky, and people suddenly turned up and down the Leiyin Temple.
Earth Absolute Monk, the head of the Great Thursday masters. When he was a teenager, he was lustful and uninhibited. Later, his family was dilapidated, impoverished, and once reduced to a beggar. After experiencing the ups and downs of life, I finally realized and took refuge in my Buddha. Become the most promising person to become a Buddha in Leiyin Temple for thousands of years.
"Jingyu, what did you say to the Earth Absolute Ancestor, why did the Earth Absolute Ancestor suddenly disappear. β
There must be a reason for everything, and abnormality is a demon. If the Earth Absolute Divine Monk wanted to leave, he would disappear ten years ago, so why wait for ten years.
The little novice named Jingyu trembled for a while, and fell to his knees in fright and said: "The host spares his life, and the little monk sees that the ancestor is faint every day, so he often tells the ancestor some interesting things that happened in the Great Zhou Dynasty." Yesterday, the disciple was quick to tell the ancestor that his earthly daughter had been killed, but he didn't expect the ancestor to disappear today. β
"Amitabha, pure language, do you know why the teacher gave you the Dharma name pure language. β
Jingyu shook his head, nodded again, and said: "Because the disciple has committed oral karma, the presiding officer named the disciple Jingyu, hoping that the disciple can be cautious in his words and deeds." β
"It's good that you understand. You think that the Earth Absolute Ancestor can't hear what you say, you're wrong. Everything you see is just the appearance, in fact, the Earth Absolute Ancestor has always been very sober. It's just that he lives in his own world, you don't understand. Once the ancestor has an epiphany, he will become a Buddha on the ground. But now, you've ruined it all. You think that what you say, the ancestors can't hear it, but in fact, the ancestors can hear it. With the divine power of the ancestor, at this moment, I am afraid that he has already arrived at Taihang Mountain. β
"Presidence, the disciple is guilty, please preside over the punishment. Jingyu knelt on the ground in fear and burst into tears. He was just a small novice, fasting and reciting Buddha every day, carefree, and never thought that he would suffer such a catastrophe.
Ling Yin sighed and said, "That's it, Buddhism pays attention to karma. Perhaps, this is the ancestor's chance. The fate of the ancestors is not over, since he was born and cannot have an epiphany, then he enters the world to practice, and maybe he can achieve positive results. From today onwards, you start to practice the meditation of closing your mouth, and you are not allowed to open your mouth to speak for ten years, so go down. β
Jingyu clasped his hands together, but said no more. Buddhism pays attention to saying too much and losing it, and those who commit oral karma will be thrown into the hell of tongue pulling out after death, and the soul suffers from pulling out the tongue every day, and there is no chance to die again if you want to die.
...............................................................
Taihang Mountain, Black Tiger Village.
The bodies of Huang Tianba and others had been exposed to the sun for three days, and the stench was stinking.
Bai Xueyan rubbed his nose, forcibly endured the disgusting smell of decay, came to the corpse, and suddenly pressed his palm to the chest of a corpse.
The Three Yin Corpse Killer Hands need to absorb the Yin Qi of the dead to be practiced, and if they are practiced to the extreme, even the gods and demons in the sky can be killed, and they are extremely vicious. However, if you want to practice this skill, you must first lose your benevolence, and you must not become crazy or become a demon.
In fact, every exercise of the Heavenly Witch Sect exterminates human nature and makes people mad. The major sects that besieged the Heavenly Witch Sect back then, not only did they have martial arts Buddhas, but even many of the disciples of the Demon Sect participated in them, which shows that they have reached the point of anger and resentment.
"My cousin is not wrong, you and he are the same kind of people. In pursuit of ultimate power, anything can be done. There is no difference between good and evil in your hearts. β
I don't know when, Liu Qingfeng was already standing behind Bai Xueyan.
A trace of black qi drilled into Bai Xueyan's palm, and he closed his palm and said, "No, I am not the same kind of person as him, and I will never bully the weak like him." I just want to be stronger, to be stronger than everyone else. As long as I'm strong enough, no one will dare to bully me and my family anymore. β
"You're too naΓ―ve..."Liu Qingfeng smiled and said nothing, pointing to the sky and then to the ground.
Bai Xueyan was dumbfounded, not knowing what Liu Qingfeng meant. When many years later, when he finally understood what Liu Qingfeng was talking about, the world was changing, and he was no longer the simple teenager.
That was many years later, though. Now Bai Xueyan is more concerned about one question, that is, why did Liu Qingfeng help him. He and Liu Qingfeng only have a one-sided relationship, but Liu Qingfeng did not hesitate to offend the six major factions and the imperial court for him, which made him very puzzled.
"There's one thing I don't really understand, why are you helping me?"
Liu Qingfeng regained his cold face and said expressionlessly: "You made a mistake, I have never helped you, and no one will ever help you." The strong don't need help, and the weak don't deserve help. Everything I do, it's for myself. Someday, you'll understand why I'm doing this. To send you a word, there are no so-called good people in this world. Don't be naΓ―ve, little brother. β
"Little brother?" Bai Xueyan's face was a little ugly, he glared at Liu Qingfeng viciously, and turned his head away a little unhappily, not wanting to talk to Liu Qingfeng anymore.
He is still a child, and his joy and anger are all from his heart. Half-grown children hate to be told that they are small, especially by someone who is not a few years older than them, which is not a pleasant thing.
Liu Qingfeng looked at Bai Xueyan's back and said, "Little brother, I know there are some things you don't like to hear, but as the leader of the Taihang Mountain Greenway Alliance, I must tell you some things." Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and it is not a good thing that you have terrifying force at a young age. You have to be careful, the Earth Absolute Monk is far more terrifying than you think. As a human being, he will definitely come to you. β
Bai Xueyan's body paused, and then strode away indifferently. He was often bullied when he was young, and once he succeeded, he would inevitably be a little young and frivolous. In his opinion, the so-called masters in the world are just furnaces and tripods, giving him skills.
He stepped back to the cottage, originally wanting to see Qin Lan. Unexpectedly, Qin Lan was unwell and was sleeping. Boredom, he strolled to the back mountain, wanting to be alone for a while.
To hear is to hear, even if you don't care, it will make waves in your heart. Liu Qingfeng's words still played a role more or less.
There are many things that Bai Xueyan should not consider at his age. But life's encounters are always accompanied by accidents. There were many things he didn't want to think about, but he had to think about them.
People should not live just to live, but to think about how to live.
There is a path under everyone's feet, and this path can lead to light, ordinary, and even hell.
Bai Xueyan's dream when he was a child was to inherit the Bai family's business when he grew up and become a pharmacist like his father. But now, he didn't know where he was going, or what awaited him. He was lost, lost his way, and lost his purpose in life.
He sighed, as if he had aged a lot overnight, and as if he had grown up overnight and become an adult. People are worried about the sky, but they don't know that everything in the dark has its own providence. His path was actually doomed from the beginning...
