Chapter 65: Thorns
In the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, You Fang used the Creation Origin to directly retransform the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury, which had collapsed a little bit, into a new one, and at the same time summoned many people from the Origin Space and asked them to start rebuilding along the surroundings of the giant tree.
You Fang's idea is to prepare to use the Zhuxian World as a springboard to connect a number of small worlds and middle thousand worlds, and in the future, this will be used as the heaven and earth after those small thousand worlds have ascended, and then let the Zhuxian world be associated with other worlds of the same level, as a coherent place for the low-level intermediate world, and when the time is ripe, You Fang will choose a medium middle thousand world, and so draw a gourd.
With the penetration and upgrading of one world after another, eventually, when the You Fang grows enough to run rampant in the world, a huge force is also cultivated.
The Hanging City is a place where Ling Tianmen unites many worlds and communicates, trades, communicates with each other, and issues orders and announcements.
However, now it is only in the initial stage, whether it is his own strength, or the layout of the Hanging City, it has not been completed, and there are three things in front of him at the moment, first, that is, he wants to refine the giant tree and complete his Qingdi Wood Emperor clone, and when the time comes, he will have a tenth-order incarnation, and he can be regarded as having the strength to protect himself in a top-level Middle Thousand World like the Divine Tomb World.
The second is the establishment of the Ling Tianmen of the Zhuxian World, and then the establishment opportunity a month later, You Yi will start to initially unify some forces, and when the unification of the Zhuxian World is completed, it will be the time to connect the small thousand worlds and the low-level middle thousand worlds.
The third thing is that there is no need for You Fang to interfere too much, there are currently Wu Xie and others in operation, that is, the integration of the small world and the construction of the Hanging City.
"You should also go to Tianyin Temple. On this day, You Fang said after passing the third volume of the Heavenly Book in the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury to Ghost Li.
Tianyin Temple?
Hearing this name, the appearance of Pu Zhi suddenly appeared in Ghost Li's mind, the old monk he once respected in his heart and actually killed his relatives and friends, for so many years, he has been running away, not remembering this person, not wanting to contact with this person.
Perhaps, he himself doesn't know whether he should hate the old monk, if he says hate, but the old monk saved his life, and also passed on the secret of his Tianyin Temple, and the old monk was also hit hard by Cangsong, and then his confidence was affected by the bloodthirsty beads, and now he is dead, how can he hate.
But if he doesn't hate, his parents, relatives and friends are all guilty of the old monk's hands, if he doesn't hate, how can he explain to more than 100 lives in Caomiao Village.
Ghost Li was silent for a while, and fell in You Fang's eyes, and a trace of inexplicability flashed in You Fang's eyes, and he immediately regained his calm: "Don't you want revenge?"
"How can I take revenge? Who can I get revenge?" Ghost Li laughed miserably, "The person from the Grass Destroying Temple Village is Pu Zhi, but he is also my savior and my teacher, even if I don't care about these, he has been dead for so many years." ”
"He's dead, isn't there still Tianyin Temple?"
"What about Tianyin Temple? This matter has never been involved in Tianyin Temple, at most, Tianyin Temple has taken care of the influence and concealed it for a few years, if I count this matter on the head of Tianyin Temple, it will be just a vent of anger at best. ”
"You can see it thoroughly, so you are willing to let go of the things of the past?"
When the ghost heard this, his eyes were full of indescribable bitterness, and there was an indescribable helplessness: "Being in the devil's way, how can you see obstacles, let go of that is extravagant hope." ”
"There is no good and evil in the world, how can you say that you are in the devil's path, you are free, not for that name, you don't ask for his strength, if the deity is an immortal, ten thousand immortals come to the court, the deity is willing to be a demon, the demon on the devil. You Fang looked at the ghost Li coldly: "What the deity recruited for the apprentice is a living person, not a living dead whose heart has turned into ashes, or rather, the deity hopes that you are Zhang Xiaofan, not some Laoshizi ghost or demon, do you understand?"
"Zhang Xiaofan......" The ghost muttered in his mouth, as if he was emotional, and seemed to be indulging, except that it didn't seem like he was reciting his former name, but more like he was reciting a stranger's name.
"Blindly escaping, it is impossible to find yourself, since this deity will help you, Tianyin, Qingyun, only if you touch, there is the possibility of revealing everything, at that time, whether you can break free from it, it all depends on your own creation, you have become, the deity also gives you a lively little girlfriend, if you fail, there is naturally no need to resurrect a sad person. ”
The indifferent words came out, and then, I saw You Fang make a move casually, and a vine suddenly pulled out from the tree wall above, and then quickly produced branches and sprouted leaves, growing a five-colored flower, falling off and floating down, falling in front of the ghost Li.
"The deity can't leave for the time being, this flower is the power of the deity, if necessary, the deity can manifest a spirit body with it, you take it with you, and go to Tianyin Temple together. ”
"I see. Ghost Li stretched out his hand to take the five-colored flower, and saw that the flower turned into a five-colored streamer and submerged into his palm, leaving a flower-shaped imprint.
"Knock...... Boom...... Boom...... Knock ......"
It seemed to be a low bell echoing in the sky, coming slowly, waking the ghost from the deep nightmare, the heavy bell, from far and near, slowly, seemed to knock into his heart, and also woke him up from the nightmare.
On that day, after listening to You Fang's instructions, he left the Death Swamp, and instead of flying with the Imperial Envoy, he walked towards the Tianyin Temple like a mortal.
This walk was eight days, and on the way he met mountain bandits who robbed the road, fierce men and beasts who did evil, and also encountered simple and hospitable small villages and bustling towns, and he was like a small fish, swimming without stopping in the ocean called Hongchen.
When he was awakened by the low bell, he found that he had arrived outside the Tianyin Temple, followed some people who came to worship the Buddha, passed through the mountain gate, and walked into a passage about two zhang long, four feet wide, red walls on both sides, more than two people high, the top is generally paved with green glazed tiles, and at the end of the passage is a circular arch, when approaching the arch, he faintly heard a sound outside.
The sound was quite strange, at first glance it seemed to be the sound of monks in the temple chanting scriptures, but there were other strange sounds mixed in it, some of which should not have appeared here in the imagination of the ghosts, such as village women gathering together to chat and talk, or believers shouting Buddha, and even faintly heard the sound of some children crying.
How could such strange sounds appear in Tianyin Temple, which is known as one of the three great sects of the righteous path in the world?
Ghost Li was in doubt and continued to walk towards the arch.
Outside the door suddenly opened, but only to see the white jade for the stone, the flat shop for the field, the stone layer stacks, nine for a group, connected and up to the Daxiong Treasure Palace, there is actually nine nine eighty-one groups of high. And between the jade carved railings, only to see the palace majestic, extremely tall, thirteen huge stone pillars in front of the hall rise to the sky, more than ten zhang high, the golden wall on the top of the hall is brilliant, the eight ridges are equally divided on it, carved into the shape of the dragon's head, each ridge flies the eaves before the dragon's head, impressively carved with ten auspicious beasts, the forms are different, lifelike.
And His Royal Highness's various carvings are gorgeous and exquisite, which far exceed the imagination of the world, and can be made by non-idlers. Behind the Daxiong Treasure Hall, on both sides and in front, there are towering halls one after another, between which either the squares are connected, or the paths are winding together, and some are directly connected together, layer upon layer, which is magnificent.
It's just that although this building is majestic and gorgeous, it is indeed amazing, but at this moment, the most shocking thing is not these, but on this solemn holy place of Buddhism, there are countless mortals shuttling non-stop at this moment, countless people holding incense, kneeling and worshipping the Buddha, step square, inside and outside the hall, the incense is unimaginable.
A huge Tianyin Temple, which has a high status in the righteous path of the world, is like an ordinary temple in the mortal world, open to countless secular people to burn incense and worship Buddha.
Ghost Li had never thought of this, he understood the strange sound just now, but he was even more confused about all this in front of him. Growing up on Qingyun Mountain since he was a child, he has long been accustomed to the so-called fairy style, the fairy mountain fairyland, which can only be owned by cultivators. On Qingyun Mountain, where have you ever seen an ordinary person come up to the mountain to burn incense and ask for a wish?
The people who came with Ghost Li had already entered the main hall, but Ghost Li was puzzled, standing in the square, for a long time, coupled with his conspicuous black clothes, naturally attracted the attention of others.
"This little benefactor, the poor monk saw that the little benefactor had stopped here for a long time, but what did he need help?" a monk who knew the guest stepped forward, folded his hands, and recited Amitabha Buddha in his mouth, and asked.
Ghost Li retracted his gaze, looked coldly at the monk who was speaking, and responded indifferently: "I'm here to find someone." ”
The monk was stunned when he heard this, and then asked: "Then dare to ask the little benefactor, which monk in our temple are you looking for?"
Ghost Li said indifferently: "Tianyin Temple hosts Master Puhong." ”
At this moment, a young monk wearing a moon-white monk's robe happened to send an old man out of the Buddhist hall, approached the courtyard, saw the ghost in the courtyard, and blurted out: "Senior Brother Zhang, you are finally here." ”
Ghost Li had also noticed that the monk was the Fa Xiang who had several relationships with him, and the Fa Xiang called the little novice beside him to explain a few words, and then quickly greeted him.
Fa Xiang is the presiding disciple, in the Tianyin Temple status respect, the monk and the Fa after greeting each other, inform the Fa Xiang of the purpose of the ghost, and left.
"Master, he has been hoping to meet Senior Brother Zhang for so many years, I don't want Senior Brother Zhang to take the initiative to come to the door today, I have already asked someone to invite Master, Senior Brother Zhang will follow me to the back of the Buddhist hall. ”
"There is labor. Ghost Li's face remained unchanged, and he left with the Fa Xiang, and on the way, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, and said: "I didn't expect Tianyin Temple to be so lively. ”
Fa Xiang smiled slightly and said, "Today happens to be the first day of the new year, so there are more people." Although the incense in this temple is vigorous, there are not so many people on weekdays, but on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the people in a radius of hundreds of miles nearby have the custom of coming to worship the Buddha. ”
Ghost Li shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "No, I think it's strange, why do you let the people come in and burn incense and worship the Buddha?"
It seemed to be expected that Fa would ask this question to the ghost, nodded, made a gesture of walking this way, and then walked to the back of the Daxiong Treasure Hall with the ghost, and said as he walked: "Actually, the early Xianyin Temple, like Qingyunmen and other gate valves, is not open to the world, but after my mentor Puhong took over as the abbot, he and the other three uncles joined him to comprehend the Buddha's principles, made a great wish, and said: The Buddha is the Buddha of all beings, not the Buddha of my alone. So he decided to open the mountain gate to accept the people. ”
Speaking of this, Fa Xiang stopped, turned around and pointed to the countless steps leading to the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and said, "Have you seen that long stone staircase?"
Ghost Li nodded and said, "What?"
Fa Xiang Shi said: "That was when a master saw that the mountain road was steep, although the people had the heart to worship the Buddha, but there were many weak people, inconvenient to move, and they could not go up the mountain to make a vow, so he used the great supernatural power, with the power of one person, and spent ten years to open up this Buddha sea smooth road on the originally steep mountain road, and did such a good deed with immeasurable merits. ”
Ghost Li couldn't help but be in awe, his face became solemn, and he said, "There is such a great senior, may I ask his name?"
Fa Xiang glanced at him, and after a moment of unexpected silence, he said in a low voice: "That senior uncle's name is Pu Zhi, and he has been dead for more than ten years. ”
The ghost paused for a moment, raised his eyes and stared at the mountain road, only to see the crowd in the distance bustling, countless people walking through the stone steps, old people, men, women, children, one by one, walked from the stone steps with reverent faces, chanting the Buddha's name in their mouths, as if they walked this road, they were closer to the Buddha.
I suddenly recalled the words of You Fang before, there is no good or evil in the world...... Feel free...... If the deity is an immortal, ten thousand immortals come to the dynasty, the deity is willing to be a demon, the demon on the demon, the general wisdom before Caomiao Village should already be called a Buddha, at least in the hearts of these people who walk through the stone steps, the person who opens up this road for them is a Buddha.
If the Buddha turns into a demon, he is also a demon on the devil!
"A Buddhist path. Ghost Li commented indifferently, and then left without looking at it.
When Fa Xiang heard Ghost Li's evaluation, he was first overjoyed, but when he saw Ghost Li's face like an iceberg, he sighed in his heart.
The road is the path of Buddha, but people are not Buddhas.
In the Heavenly Emperor's Treasure House, You Fang, who was refining the giant tree, suddenly opened his eyes, and looked into the distance in a daze, for a long, long time, he couldn't come back to his senses.
Ghost Li may be able to take advantage of this encounter to find Zhang Xiaofan again, but what about him?
"Life in the world is like being in a forest of thorns, if the heart does not move, people will not move, and if they do not move, they will not hurt; If the heart moves, people move recklessly, they hurt their bodies and bones, and they experience all kinds of pain in the world. After reciting a Zen saying, a disdainful sneer appeared on You Fang's face: "If your heart is not moving, can you still be considered alive?"
