Fire Monkey and Shuli and the others were all infected by Master Ran's words, and they all fell into deep thought.

From the first time they stayed in the farmhouse outside Qingping Town, Shuli had a premonition that the development of the situation might get out of control, and now the development of the Buddhism Gate of the Great Martial Kingdom was like the calm before the storm.

Before today, he thought hard about the way out but couldn't, until he came to Nanzong Temple, the words of the monk Qingning opened his mind, and now Master Zhiran has a way to promote it all, so follow him to fight for this matter, if he can calm down the troubled times that are about to move, it can be regarded as achieving his own ambition to help the world.

And before the master of the Ran to him, although he had no evil thoughts, but did cause harm, at this time in the face of the great right and wrong, he can let go peacefully, the past is like smoke, his mind has been quietly infected by the good thoughts of Buddhism, and no matter how much he pursues it, he can't go back to the past.

Monk Benchang also did not expect that although he was often sent by Master Zhiran to inspect the situation of temples in various places, it was just that he thought that Shizun was only worried about the people, and he never thought that Shizun would decide to break with other Buddhist forces and even confront other Buddhist forces because of the hidden danger of the current expansion of Buddhism.

Judging from the situation that he often inspected the large and small temples of the Great Wu Kingdom, because the imperial court exempted all miscellaneous taxes such as land tax, and the officials and gentry from all over the country donated incense and fertile land, so that the temple generated a huge amount of wealth, he could think of it, and made up his mind to give up such a rich benefit, dedicate it to the public, and return it to the people, and finally proposed to adhere to the purity of Buddhism, the monks and monks who practiced bitter ginseng were almost impossible to find.

It is precisely because of this that he was surprised and even admired the courage of the master to fight, which is the real relief from suffering and compassion.

Master Zhiran stood up and paced to the window of the room, outside the window is a clear blue sky, the verdant pines and cypresses under the sunshine, the slight breeze gently blows on the body from the window, slightly cool and refreshing, and the solemn scriptures and bells of the Buddha are faintly heard in the distance, and the solemn scriptures and bells of the Buddha are faintly heard in the distance, what a peaceful and tranquil scenery.

However, under this peaceful situation, there are many peasants who are sweating blood and sweat in the land, hurrying until their whole bodies are black, their pains are heavy, and their temples are gray, but in the end they are empty-handed.

The harvest they have earned hard in the land has all been unreservedly contributed into the robes of the monks on their bodies, the offerings in front of the Buddha statues, and the courtyards that are still being built endlessly.

It's heavy, it's really heavy in the master's heart.

Under the weight of the pressure, there must be resistance, which peasant rebellion many years ago was just a cluster of flames that were instantly trodden, and the real hellfire quietly lurked under the vast land, waiting for one day, a hoe lifted it, and it would inevitably erupt endless anger and vengeance.

He had to put this danger aside, even if it cost him his life.

Thinking of this, he turned to Yifeng and the others and asked, "I don't know if you guys, are you willing?"

Yifeng raised his head and replied solemnly: "Uncle Guangchen once said that if you practice Buddhism, you will not be considered a betrayal. There will always be only one Master of mine, who has gone west but is still alive in my heart. However, the master once taught his disciples to 'guide the world to understand good and evil, punish evil and promote good, and more importantly, to unite knowledge and action, to cross others with oneself and to overcome evil with Buddha', I am willing to follow Master Ran, even if I am in purgatory. ”

Fire Monkey and Shuli heard Yifeng's sonorous reply, their eyes were complicated, they understood that this little junior brother's experience along the way had made him grow too much, and as his senior brother, they were very relieved in their hearts.

But they understood even more that since the little junior brother had made up his mind to follow Master Ran, the burden on his body had just been shouldered, and there were countless difficulties behind him, and even the catastrophe of life and death was waiting for him, and they were very unbearable in their hearts as senior brothers.

But a wind, and them, have no way back, there are no eggs under the nest, if one day the Buddha is destroyed, they will also be affected by the pond fish, it is better to take advantage of the outbreak now, to do their best, to turn the tide.

So, the fire monkey and Shuli also nodded solemnly, and Xiu Gu also nodded obediently with the senior brothers.

Master Zhiran smiled with satisfaction and said, "The road ahead is bumpy, but there is no need to worry too much, one step at a time, Buddhism has its own scriptures." ”

As he spoke, a warm golden light suddenly emanated from his eyes, carefully circulating on them, and after a while, the golden light dissipated, and he nodded and said: "But according to Lao Gao, except for Xiao Xiugu, the spiritual power in your body is very abundant, but the operation is not very smooth, and there is a little sluggishness in the key points of the meridians, I'm afraid that your exercises are defective, right?"

Yifeng said: "Back to Master Ran, on the way back to this place, my senior brother and I have already noticed the flaws of the exercises. We practiced meditation in Qingshan Temple before, and the second senior brother and the fourth senior brother both realized that this was only a fragment of a complete exercise, I wonder if Nanzong Temple can have a complete chapter?"

Fire Monkey and Shuli and the others also looked at Master Ran expectantly.

Master Ran smiled and said, "Meditation technique, as far as the old man knows, there is no such exercise. My Buddhism has been developed for thousands of years, and there is no shortage of amazing and brilliant people, and there are thousands of exercises, but the only ones that can be called the top are 'Canaan No Chanting Sutra' and 'Meditation and Silence'.

"Canaan has no chanting scriptures in this temple, and all the major elders' houses and disciples' houses practice this kind of exercise, and the old man asks Ben Chang to teach this kind of exercise to you as soon as possible. The beauty of this exercise is that, like the Buddhist philosophy, it is broad and boundless, and it can absorb and accommodate the cultivation foundation laid by any other exercise, and continue to practice on this basis, so that just like the Buddha's path, there is no self and no thought, and all sentient beings are benefited. ”

When Shuli heard this, his heart moved, he was originally cultivating Confucianism's Heaven and Earth Sacred Heart, but he didn't expect that there was also a Buddhist exercise, which could be compatible with his previous cultivation method, the supreme practice of Buddhism, and it was really magical.

Yifeng followed up and asked, "What about the meditation and silence extinguishing gong?"

The Fire Monkey and Shuli and Xiugu also stared at Master Ran.

Master Ran said leisurely: "The meditation and silence extinguishing gong used to be the light of my Buddhism, and he was created by the Buddha who flew into the mortal world in the twenty heavens. After that, he glanced at Yifeng intentionally or unintentionally.

Yifeng chuckled in his heart, as if he evoked the experience of being regarded as a Buddha in the first place, but it was all dark killing, the struggle of desire, and the wriggling of greed, in short, it was not a good thing.

The Fire Monkey and Shuli also looked at Master Ran with strange expressions.

Master Ran continued: "Whenever there is a difficulty in the path of Buddhism, a Buddha descends on the twenty heavens to create a groundbreaking feat for the promotion of the Dharma, to light the Buddha's lamp for the world, and to purify all sentient beings. His Buddhist deeds and deeds are recorded in Buddhist scriptures, which have been recited through the ages and are endless.

"The Canaan Sutra is a boundless practice created by a Buddha many years ago, which has introduced countless practitioners to the Buddha's path, among which those with profound Buddha affinity and extraordinary talents can be used to cultivate to become Buddhas.

"Originally, the meditation and silence exercise was also created by another Buddha, and it was the same practice as the Canaan Sutra of Non-chanting. The difference is that, according to rumors, meditation and silence is a kind of quick exercise, which can go through the three eons of Buddhism in just over ten years, see through the cycle of life and death, know cause and effect, transform sentient beings, cultivate great compassion, great wisdom, and great power, fly over the three major Buddhist realms of Hinayana, Jade Vehicle, and Mahayana, until the Mahayana realm is complete, and finally go through the great monk tribulation, integrate great compassion, great wisdom, and great power into a Buddha.

"But because of this, the price that cultivators need to pay is extremely huge. As you know, every time you go through a tribulation, you are extremely strict with your cultivated Dao mind, and once your cultivated Buddha mind is completely destroyed by the calamities, your cultivation will be fruitless at best, and at worst, you will never recover. The catastrophe of life and death is full, and the reincarnation is empty. ”

Yifeng couldn't help but ask, "Master Ran, what is Dao Heart?"

Master Zhiran said: "The Dao heart is the heart of the cultivator's divine soul, our body has a heart, our soul also has a heart, and the heart in the soul is the Dao heart, which is the core thing that supports our divine soul cultivation. ”

Yifeng nodded, and Master Ran continued: "It is the cruel training of cultivators by the Meditation and Silence Gong that has made many Buddhist practitioners eager for quick success and quick profit, and they have poured into this thorny road, walking on the abyss, and finally going mad and being swallowed up by the abyss of cultivation.

Many years later, with the joint efforts of the ancestors of Buddhism and Taoism, all the meditation and silence exercises were destroyed. And the people who practice Buddhism have woken up and no longer practice this skill, but there are still obsessed Buddhists who will break it down and scatter it all over the Great Wu Kingdom, hoping that one day, there will be another earth-shattering genius to perfect it, so as to open up the avenue of Buddhism cultivation in my country.

But unfortunately, after nearly a thousand years, even if there are people who have attained the right results and become Buddhas, they cannot transform and perfect them, leaving only this ethereal legend in Buddhist practice. ”

It was only at this time that Yifeng and the others really understood the ins and outs of the exercises that they most urgently needed to practice.

But it is not as they wish, this exercise can basically not go on, and now they can only practice the Canaan Sutra of Thoughtless Prayer to improve their cultivation, otherwise they will not be able to help Master Ran, let alone sweep away the filth of Buddhism, help the world, and purify all sentient beings.

But Yifeng inexplicably has a strong impulse in his heart for the meditation and silence exercise, it is curiosity, or natural attraction, anyway, he can't let go of it in his heart, just like the conch full of gold liquid attracts him, a desire arises from the bottom of his heart, impacting his soul.

At this time, Master Ran said: "Even so, the old man traveled all over the world, but by coincidence, he obtained some fragments of this exercise, but these fragments were woven and hidden in the obscure Buddhist scriptures of ancient times, and now no one can crack them. ”

Yifeng's eyes lit up suddenly, and his heart beat violently, almost breaking his chest.
