I hope to dissolve the obsession in his heart, give up getting into the horns, and return to the bright path of cultivation. His performance is tantamount to demonic possession, which is very dangerous.

"I don't leave, I enter Baoshan, I can't go back empty-handed, not to mention, I go all over the continent, and this is what I am looking for. Miki was quite stubborn and ignored my words.

I had no choice but to say, "I'll take the baby up, it's up to you whether you come or not." ”

Originally, I wanted to leave straight away and give up the rescue of Miki, but before I could turn around, Miki suddenly fell to the ground and cried, tears flowed, and the baby was frightened and cried again.

I patted my swaddling clothes gently and slowly walked into the stone chamber.

Thangka is one of the ancient cultural arts of the Tibetan people, and has a place in the field of global painting.

Walking into the stone room, I realized that the paintings on the wall have continuity and tell a complete story.

At the beginning of the story, Shakyamuni sacrificed his life to feed tigers and cut meat to feed eagles. When he accomplished these two feats, he immediately became a god, renounced his body, and became free. In the thangka, in addition to the tiger and the goshawk, there is a third animal that endangers the world, which is a big fish. To be precise, it was a mermaid or a merman, with a human upper body and a fish on the lower body, and the shape was very weird. After Shakyamuni became a god, he no longer cared about the affairs of the mortal world, so the mermaid was able to survive and reproduce, and gradually became the overlord of the sea, competing with the Western God Buddha, and became the biggest enemy of mankind.

In the picture, the mermaid is getting bigger and bigger, and the momentum is getting stronger and stronger, which looks very amazing. The merman is a problem left by Shakyamuni, and now it has caused a great harm, and manpower cannot solve it.

After reading the content of the thangka, I felt very sad. The ancient gods have boundless mana and can equally destroy the monsters that roam the continent, but unfortunately, once the monsters are hidden, they will be ignored by the gods. The people who left the thangka here must have had an insight into the situation in the world, but they could not do anything about it, so they had to draw this incident so that even those who did not understand the language could understand the meaning.

Now, I can take the baby away and leave Miki here to fend for himself. For a stubborn person, other people's words are deaf to the ears and do not play any role at all. The best thing to do is to have him headbutt against the south wall and then fold back.

"Okay, I'll take the baby away, you take care of yourself. "I passed by Mitsuki, held the baby, and walked to the end of the road.

There is no reason in the world that can convince anyone unless he realizes his mistake. I still have a deep sorrow in my heart, because when I see a Tibetan Buddhist master like Sanshu trapped by demons in his heart, unable to free himself, and finally going to a dead end, this is really something that should have been avoided but could not be avoided in the end, if it came true, wouldn't it be the greatest sorrow in the world? As a thaumaturgist, I couldn't save Sanshu, and I will always have this regret in this life.

"World-honored. "Miki is calling behind my back.

I stopped, but didn't look back.

"Shizun, what can you think of after looking at those thangkas?" asked Miki.

I thought for a moment and calmly replied: "Two of the three evils have been eliminated, and only one of them remains, and an invincible warrior is needed to complete this matter, eliminate the disaster, and keep peace forever." This person may or may not be you, but we must pass on the news so that more people know about it, brainstorm ideas, gather talents, and complete this task. ”

"World-honored, I think I can do this. Miki said.

"How do you do it?" I asked.

"Finding the lair of the shark people in the East China Sea, secretly ambushing*, detonating it in an instant, and turning the entire island into powder, this is the most fundamental solution. Miki said.

"That being said, you stopped when you got here, how should the plan be carried out?who went to find the lair of the shark people in the East China Sea, and who*???who will detonate it?" I asked again and again.

Miki couldn't answer, it seemed that this was just his preliminary plan, and there were no detailed steps.

"Let's go, it's useless to stay here, it's useless to die generously, only live well and use this life to the most valuable place, that is the life of a cultivator. "This is the last time I will persuade him, and if he doesn't listen, I can't do anything.

"World-honored, very contradictory, I don't know how to advance or retreat, please teach me. Miki said.

I let out a long sigh, stopped responding, and strode out with the baby in my arms. The situation is critical, there is no time for empty talk, and empty talkers will only mislead the country.

At the end of the tunnel, I unfastened my clothes, stuffed my swaddling clothes in, and slowly climbed upwards. If the problem of Miki's refusal to leave is removed, today's matter may be resolved satisfactorily. In the midst of my busy schedule, I looked down and saw that at the end of the deep well, it was dim, and I could not see the light of the fire, let alone the light of the night pearl.

Once upon a time, I had seen the term "leyline" in the classics, and at this moment this deep well is one of the leylines, not dug by manpower, but with the birth of this planet for eternity. One end of the leyline is exposed to the Earth's surface, while the other end is deep into the core of the planet, where it leads. Once it slides to the earth's leylines, it will become a fallen leaf floating into the sea, and you can't help yourself anymore. Sanshu is a cultivator, and the question of the leyline has a fatal allure for him.

I took the baby up the second floor of the corridor, sat down slowly five meters away from the entrance, and waited for the pavilion to fall.

I heard the chanting again, it was Sanshu, his voice was very sad, and it was very likely that after reciting a scripture, he would throw himself into the leylines and pass away. It seems that something has gone terribly wrong with his practice, and he has not found the right answer in the tangle of life and death. Such a person died like this, and it can only be attributed to the tricks of fate.

I looked down at the baby, his eyes were slowly closed, and the skin on his cheeks was blown, it was really a very beautiful life.

"For you, the Wang family is not at peace. I laughed.

The baby is the hope of this world, and any loving person will have mercy on life and do his best to protect him.

I believe that after handing over the baby to Mrs. Wang, she must be very happy, and a big stone in the hearts of the Wang family will fall to the ground. Now, I don't care about Wang Yongbang's attitude, thaumaturgists do such things without asking for anything in return, without asking for praise, just to be worthy of their conscience.

There was a buzz, a whirlwind surged in the depths of the corridor, and I looked to the left, and there was a figure hidden in the whirlwind.

I raised my hands to protect the baby, staring intently at the figure.

He passed in front of me and walked to the exit of the road, standing on his feet at the very edge of the road, like a diver stepping on a high springboard, waiting for the last jump.

I didn't say anything, because it was just a figure, and I couldn't even see his facial features.

"This is the last hurdle, push the limit, you will succeed. The figure was talking, a powerful male voice.

"Investigating life and death is indeed the last level of cultivation, but with this one leap, it is impossible to determine whether it is right or wrong, and there is no way to turn back and start anew. In this way, if you make the wrong choice, everything that has been before will disintegrate without leaving a trace. I had to despise life and death, leave everything behind, and devote myself to cultivation in order to succeed. The shadow said again.

Although he said this, he always stood there, without a start, a last jump, which shows that he was very hesitant in his heart, and did not finally make up his mind.

"Jump, jump, all the problems of cultivation will be solved, jump, so many people have already jumped, born to die, and finally liberated, what am I still worried about? What else do I have to worry about?" he muttered to himself.

The six roots are impure, and mundane things are difficult to break, so that no matter if you die generously, or live and die, you will have infinite concerns in your heart. At times like these, not being able to make the right choice at all, whether to go to the left or to the right, will end up with regrets.

I cleared my throat and prepared to greet the shadow, but just then, another whirlwind swept in and pushed the shadow down the deep well.

My heart trembled, and I felt that the shadow was worthless.

Cultivation is a conscious and voluntary thing, if you are coerced by others, or if you are tired of practicing, go home and turn back as soon as possible, instead of being like the shadow just now, hesitating yourself, but being pushed to death by another force. Under the deep well, there was a strange sound like a mountain and a tsunami, as if some kind of liquid had boiled in the depths of the earth's leylines and was about to erupt. Generally speaking, if there is liquid, it must be magma, and I can't help but get agitated in the hope that the pavilion can be put down in time to allow me and the baby to escape.

The whirlwind in the depths of the tunnel became more and more violent, sweeping past me again and again.

"Is there another hole over there?" I wondered.

Miki's chanting sounded again, and kept approaching, and it seemed that he was chanting and climbing upwards to meet me here.

"I hope everyone will be okay and return to the ground safely, cultivation is a matter of urgency, let alone a desperate bet, like a gambler. "I'm glad that Miki was able to wake up.

"Mr. Xia, Mr. Xia. Suddenly a soft cry rang in my ears, and it was the voice of a young woman.

Strangely, the sound came from the depths of the tunnel.

I looked to the left, and it was empty, and no one was there.

"Who's calling me?" I asked aloud.

The woman did not answer, but continued to shout, "Mr. Xia, Mr. Xia." ”

I searched in my head and found the voice to be so unfamiliar that it couldn't match anyone I knew. What's more, in the depths of the corridor is the stone room, there was no one before, and there is no one now, so there should be no woman to speak out.

I snorted coldly and whispered, "Demons are outside, don't be rampant." ”

"Mr. Xia, Mr. Xia. The voice rang out unswervingly, and seemed to be just around the corner twenty paces away.

I stared in that direction, and for a moment, it seemed that a figure appeared on the ground around the corner, swaying and moving. Since there was a figure and a voice, this person was behind the corner, and I didn't act rashly, but just watched carefully.

At this moment, Sanshu climbed up from the Yongdao crossing on the right, expressionless and in a trance.

"Sanshu, you're here. I greeted him, but he didn't look at me at all, but passed me and walked deeper into the tunnel.

"Three trees. Sensing that something was wrong, I raised my voice and shouted, "Don't go over, there's something wrong." ”

Miki didn't stop, his body swayed, and the soles of his feet dragged like a sleepwalker.

"Sanshu, don't go over, stop. "I have to be distracted to take care of the baby, so I don't get up and stop me until I have to.

"Mr. Xia, Mr. Xia, come here, come here. The woman's voice rang out again.

I raised my anger and shouted, "Who is the demon, dare to use witchcraft to tempt people?"

In this case, with swaddling clothes in hand, my combat effectiveness has been greatly reduced, and I can't take care of Miki. I believe that Miki also heard that cry of temptation, but it was his name, so he climbed up from the tunnel below.

In the depths of the corridor, there seem to be countless demons hidden, and they are sending out a deadly temptation to Miki in various demagogic postures.

As a practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism, if you change to another time, if the body and mind of the three trees are normal, there will definitely be no temptation. However, under the serious injury, Miki's spirit has gone wrong, and he can't control himself, so he can't help but go to the place where the voice came from.

I looked at the baby in my arms, and then at Miki, hesitating, not knowing what to do.

In a moment's hesitation, Miki had already walked around the corner, and if he took another step, he was about to disappear from my field of vision.

I gritted my teeth, propped myself on the ground with one hand, and jumped to my feet.

At this moment, the pavilion in the deep well fell again, and I could not carry the baby into danger, because he was just a newborn person who had no ability to resist, while Miki was an adult and a thaumaturgical practitioner. Compared with the two, I should protect the baby more.

"Three trees. I shouted, "Hold on, I'll send the baby up first." ”

I stepped out of the corridor and stood on the top of the pavilion, and the baby seemed to know that he was about to leave the dangerous place, and became unusually quiet in my arms.

When I looked back, the three trees had disappeared around the corner, and the corridor was empty, leaving only the cyan light of the night pearl.

"He's going to be fine, he's going to be okay. I whispered to myself.

However, only ten seconds later, a scream was heard from the other end of the corridor.

"It's Miki. "I was shocked.

Screams rang out one after another, as if one or even a group of gangsters were piercing Miki's body with a sharp blade, so that his screams became more and more urgent and more and more fierce.

I paused heavily, I had to go back and save people, but what about this baby? If I put him on the top of the pavilion and let him go up on his own. No, he's just a baby, and if anything goes wrong, even a small stone, it can cause a lifetime of resentment.

Miki's screams continued to sound, and I let out a long sigh, hugged the baby, and rushed to the corridor.

Since the dilemma is parted, let's merge and fight together, at least under my protection, the baby is safer.

Turning the corner, I was surprised that there was still no one in sight, and the bloody scene I imagined did not appear.

"Three trees. "I screamed, but I didn't hear anything back.

I pulled my legs forward and made three turns in a row, and finally heard Miki's voice.

He was chanting sutras, speaking all in Sanskrit, intermittently, as if he was talking to someone, his tone was suddenly high, occasionally low, suddenly questioning, suddenly arguing, as if he was fighting with his companions in the temple fighting field.

I walked further until I reached the entrance of the stone chamber, and saw Miki standing in the center of the stone chamber, facing up on his back, his thick Adam's apple shaking.

He clenched his hands into fists, against his left and right temples. Usually, a person only makes this action when he is thinking with all his might. For a practitioner, this kind of action is very dangerous, because every question that the practitioner thinks about is very profound, and the answers are ever-changing, and there is no end, and when he devotes all his energy to a certain problem, once his brain power is exhausted, the cranial nerves will be permanently damaged, and he will not be able to recover, and he will instantly become a vegetative person or a person with cerebral palsy.

There was only one Miki in the stone room, no woman, not even another figure. I understand that all voices are temptations, from the inner demons, and together with the inner demons, the temptations of the ten worlds arise, and once the inner demons are destroyed, the external temptations are gone. Everything lies in the heart of the person, just like the oldest Zen saying, the wind does not move, the flag does not move, it is the heart of the person who moves, once the heart is calm, the wind does not move, the flag does not move, the world is calm.

"How can this be? How can this be? I put everything into it, will what I pursue be the void? There is not even a gust of wind, a cloud or a piece of snow, just the void, so what about the wisdom of all the predecessors, after the rainbow transformation of the three hundred and eight old monks of Ganden Monastery, the body became relics, and those relics are real, this is irrefutable, as for where their souls went, it is impossible to investigate, but you can't tell me that our pursuit is all vanity. Miki said.

The roof of the stone chamber was empty, but Miki spoke to it, his expression was serious, and his eyes were blazing, as if there was a monk sitting there who could give him the deepest wisdom enlightenment.

"If you deny my practice, that is, if you deny the practice of all the monks of my Gaden Monastery, what basis do you have? If you want me to believe in your way, you have to let me see the actual things. Miki said again.

"Hee-hee-hee-hee. I heard the woman's laughter.

Countless shadows appeared in the stone room, although the color was only a monotonous blue-gray, but those shadows were graceful and dancing, and they were very beautiful. Gradually, they came together and separated me from Miki.

"Forget everything here, enjoy it to the fullest, I can give everything you want, this place is isolated, you can do anything, even the most primitive desires will be perfectly satisfied. There are too many rules and regulations in the outside world, so you can't be yourself, now, as long as you want, you are the most primitive mountain people, without any restraints of etiquette, everything you do is out of nature......" The woman's voice sounded faintly.

I replied in a low voice, "Put away all the illusions, for a true practitioner, these are meaningless, I don't care who you are, no matter what reason you live in seclusion here, it has nothing to do with me. We are uninvited guests, we will leave when we find what we want, never disturb us too much, please accept the illusion, and let my friend go. ”

The woman laughed again: "You are a smart person, you can see through everything, admirable, but this is too boring, life is short, such as morning dew, it is better to be happy in time, then this life is not in vain." ”

I frowned and replied: "Everyone has their own ambitions, why force it, discuss it well, if it doesn't work, then you will be offended." ”

The woman laughed, "How do you offend?"

I didn't bother to explain to her, and strode forward, through the shadows, to the three trees.

Sanshu trembled violently, his forehead was bruised, and his chest was undulating.

"Sanshu, let's go. I said.

From the outside, the roof of the stone chamber was empty, but when I stood side by side with Mitsuki, I noticed that there was an intricate caisson on the top. The caisson is not a painting, but a real existence, as if there is a huge hole in it that leads to a more distant world.

I was slightly stunned, and I couldn't help but wonder if if I could go in from there, or call it out, I would be able to reach some Elysium. There is too much pressure in real life, and those who pray to God and Buddha are praying for inner peace, and if they can really find a spiritual shelter, I believe that anyone will hide in it without hesitation.

"And what are you, where is that?" I asked.

"That is the ultimate goal of human pursuit, and no matter who everyone will be, there will be a destination, and that is the destination, everything, everything, the final destination. Miki replied.

Inside the caisson, flowers are blooming, petals are in full bloom, and countless birds and insects are shuttling through it, and it is a place of life that is fundamentally different from the real world.

"Sanshu, that's fake, it's an illusion. I said, "We are very deep underground, it is impossible to see this, since it is an illusion, the sooner you get out, the sooner you are safe." ”

"You say it's fake, but what's true in the world? What a practitioner pursues is an extremely high spiritual realm, aren't you also fake, completely existing in your mind, is there a difference between what is false and what is false? Is there a difference between me entering there, or when I enter another place after practicing for a hundred years?"

By asking this question, he proves that his heart has been thrown into turmoil and that he has lost his most fundamental principle.

I know that among all the religious purposes, it is the highest pursuit to improve oneself and be born after having great ability. If you simply pursue the ultimate in personal cultivation, you will be too selfish, and you will only become more and more self-contained, like a cicada, and will not contribute anything to this world. Just like Zhang Quanzhong, the most fundamental meaning of his life is to live forever with Jingguan Xiaowu, to escape from time, since he has such an extremely selfish goal, then everything he does is a foreshadowing of this great event, and it has nothing to do with the billions of people on the earth, and this kind of practice is meaningless.

At the moment, Sanshu's words and deeds show that he is about to embark on the same path as Zhang Quanzhong, which is a very sad thing, because as long as he takes a fork in the road and cultivates for half his life, it will all be abandoned.

"Sanshu, God has given us life, not to be squandered by you, each life corresponds to different responsibilities, I ask you, have you fulfilled your responsibilities? Whether in Gaden Monastery or elsewhere, have you done with a clear conscience? If your answer is yes, then I will leave immediately, and I should not even come in at all. ”

During my conversation with Miki, there were shadows dancing all around, disturbing our vision, and I turned a blind eye, but Miki was definitely affected, and his eyes kept blinking, which showed that his mood was already in chaos.

"I'm ...... Ganden Monastery" Sanshu finally lowered his head and looked away from the caisson, "I'm in Ganden Monastery, and there is one more thing, there is no break." ”

"What is it?" I asked.

"On the back mountain, there is a Bodhi tree that two people hug, blooming all the year round, full of flowers, every year in summer, when the ice and snow melt on the mountain, the ice spring in the stone crevice flows out, just washing the roots, I have been seven years old, every summer for more than 90 days, I will go to the Bodhi tree three times a day, sweep the ice water, and do my best to reduce the harm of ice water to the tree. If I die, the tree will die too, and that's my greatest concern in this life. Other than that, everything has nothing to do with me," Miki said.

"Since there is a concern, it must not be cut off here and now, otherwise, your death will bring a chain reaction. I said.
