Things twisted and turned, so Ye Yu was caught off guard, so he had to return to Fushui Temple first, and then think about it in the long run.

On the way, the young man pondered about the shadow repeatedly, and carefully recalled his escape experience from childhood to adulthood, as well as the whole process of coming to this green ghost domain, although he didn't want to believe Huai'an's guess, but it was undeniable that there was indeed such a possibility!

"The immortal ghosts in the Yama Palace, the living dead in the Taiping Tower......"

Ye Mo laughed at himself in a low voice, his mouth full of bitterness.

Thinking that he and Xiao Chun were caught by the people of the Great Zhou Youcha Division, they left a blank in their memory, and with the ruthless style of those people, they should never have left him alive at that time.

Since then, his physical growth has come to a standstill.

All these are suspicious, which makes him feel very headache, and he just wants to leave this dream as soon as possible and go to Taiping City to find a master for verification.

But it backfired, and in the next few days, no matter what he did, he couldn't wake up from his dream.

This made him feel a little big.

In desperation, he had to come to the Huangliang Wharf outside the city again and ask Huai'an for advice on how to get out.

But if a person is unlucky, he will stuff his teeth with cold water.

That Huai'an actually said that he couldn't do anything about it, just because he was also a person trapped here.

……

"Ask the master, what kind of place is this, and why can't you get out?"

In front of the porridge stall again, seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in line, the night man was holding the porridge bowl, which made him anxious.

He never imagined that after months of hard work, going through thousands of difficulties and dangers, he finally completed three things, obtained the Book of Darkness, and came to this strange place, but in the end, instead of finding his shadow, he was trapped here.

Huai'an held the scroll in his hand and said slowly: "This is a remnant of the world, called Liulitian, the root of people's intentions, and the debt of sin is revealed in dreams, if you want to go out from here, you need to make a supreme wish, quit the three poisons of greed, hatred, and ignorance, and realize the emptiness of dependent origination, so as to achieve great liberation."

Ye was stunned, this is really unheard of: "Do you want to leave here, do you have to learn Buddhism and Zen?"

Huai'an nodded slightly.

Yeyu's face was a little ugly, and he felt that this was very unreasonable, and asked rhetorically, "But why is such a treasure as a master still trapped here?" ”

Huai'an chuckled: "You kid has a lot of eyes, but I lied to you and was trapped here, naturally my cultivation has not arrived, didn't that Master Zhang teach you the method of escape when you came?" ”

Ye Mo shook his head: "I came in a hurry before, and the last time I came here, I didn't have such trouble when I left"

Huai'an said: "It shouldn't be you who came last time, but your previous life, but now you are a floating soul, a rootless person, scattered and turned with the wind, how can you go back"

I heard Feng Tielu say about the "previous life" Ye Yan, but it was still difficult to figure out the reason, so he bowed down and said: "I implore the master to solve my doubts"

Huai'an was very patient this time, and said slowly: "Have you heard the saying of five doors in and out?" ”

Ye Yu nodded: "The reincarnation of the root of life, similar to the six reincarnations"

"In that case, you should know that the five bodies will be condensed when the ecstasy is transformed into a floating soul."

Nightshade nodded again.

"Didn't you say that you had turned into a moth, I think it should be the five bodies you condensed, at that time, you should not have fully digested the life-changing peach, you are in the soul turning, the soul root is outside, the previous life body strayed into this realm, and left with the power of the soul, I don't know"

Ye Yu thought of the situation when Zhao Xixi turned his soul before, as well as the strange dream he experienced last time, and he felt a chill down his spine, and he was silent for a long time.

"Why was my past life a moth?"

Huai An shook his head and said, "That's your creation, how would I know?"

It was difficult for Ye Yan to accept this explanation for a while, the more he pondered, the more upset he became, he glanced at the Buddhist scriptures in Huai'an's hand, and was a little angry: "What the hell is this, how can there be a reason to force people to learn Buddhism, and there is more than one Buddha in the world!" ”

Huai An smiled lightly: "Well said! If everyone becomes a Buddha, there will be no good or evil, no cause and effect, no samsara, and no worlds."

As soon as his voice fell, the aftermath did not subside, and the night was so shocked that he covered his ears, he suddenly heard someone chanting a Buddha horn in the void.

I searched around the night but saw no one, and could only hear an old voice lingering around.

"Amitabha, if everyone becomes a Buddha, this shore is the other shore, all beings are free from suffering and happy, and the world is the same, what's wrong?"

Huai'an got up with a Zen cane in his hand, and sneered: "You look at the world with the eyes of the Buddha, and naturally everyone is a Buddha, if I use the Tao to help the world, everyone is a Taoist, but the hearts of all living beings are very different, you see it is not good, but others think it is good, you think it is good, but others think it is, you have to let them all take refuge sincerely, in order to get out of this world, it is not Buddhism"

"Strong words and reasoning are the self-contained rules of this world, so what's wrong with me using the Dharma to open the door for sentient beings?"

"Since it is convenient, why not directly dissolve the sins and debts for them, but let them suffer in their dreams, there is no difference between the reincarnation of sentient beings in this world, you use the Dharma to persuade the world, so that the separation arises suddenly, this is also a demonic practice"

"The Buddha can sacrifice himself, but also everyone must cross by himself"

Ye Yan listened to Huai'an and the mysterious man arguing, although he couldn't figure out what grievances the two had, but he vaguely guessed who the other party was, and hurriedly clasped his palms at the sky: "But Master Huaigen?" The villain is drunk at night, he is a person from Middle-earth, and he entered here by mistake, and he asked the master to be merciful and let me go."

It didn't matter if this shout, the mysterious man suddenly lost his voice, and only replied after a long time: "There is no wish in the world, the little benefactor has deep roots, as long as he concentrates on studying the Buddhist scriptures, he will definitely be able to get out of the sea of suffering in the near future."

Huai'an sneered on the side, walked towards the bridge, and when he stepped in with Yeyu, he mocked slightly: "This way of heaven was set by him, how could he eat his own preface, what an idiot"

Ye was stunned for a while, and bowed to the Quartet, saying all the good things, but there was no response, I couldn't help but be very depressed, seeing that the sky was about to get dark, I simply stayed at the dock, found a no-man's shack to shelter, and planned to ask Huai'an for some things in the future.

……

It's night, and there's no moon.

The water village is gradually falling silent, but the Forget Worry Pavilion on the opposite bank is full of colorful lights, singing and dancing.

In the midst of this noise, Huai'an climbed to the top of the Forget Worry Pavilion alone.

It's pitch black here, and you can't see your fingers, compared with the bustle downstairs, it seems like another world.

Huai'an held an oil lamp, walked into a hall, Siye suddenly lit up, the hall was elegantly arranged, the books were piled up, and there was a huge sand table in the open space in the center, the mountains and rivers crisscrossed it, and the cities and passes were dotted everywhere, it was the Middle Earth Kyushu that was separated from the Qingying Ghost Domain.

He came to a chess table and sat down, carefully examined the remnants of the chess on the table, and after a moment of contemplation, he picked up a white piece and fell.

But at this time, if there is someone who knows how to play chess, you will find that the black player in this game has long been gone, and there is no way to reverse the decline.

At this moment, a fresh breeze blew from the porch, and the candlelight shook a few times.

Huai'an porcelain's white face suddenly became a little weird, and his expression was sad for a while, and hideous for a while, which made it difficult to figure out.

I only heard him ask himself and answer: "Senior Brother Huaigen, back then, you and I used this glass sky as a chessboard, and the people of a city were the sons, and see who could save all sentient beings first, before you made up for the Heavenly Dao, which was better than me, but now that the period of Jiazi is coming to an end, I am already the largest creditor in this city, but there are very few people who can remember your benefactor, there is a way in heaven and earth but no owner, which is equivalent to no way; Without a way and without a master, it is said to be without a heart; Without heart and inability, it is said to be silent; In this way, your Buddha has no supernatural powers, and the avenue will not be able to resist people's desires after all, can you admit defeat? ”

"Amitabha, although my Buddha has no supernatural powers, he can reach ten thousand dharmas without this intention, and there is no increase or decrease in the realm of sentient beings, so it doesn't matter if all sentient beings are endless."

"Senior brother, you are clever and quibble"

"Senior brother, I never thought of gambling with you, you have been deceiving yourself"

"Shame on you!"

"It's okay, if you don't show up like you, how can you be saved"

"Senior brother, for the sake of trapping me alone, the people who gave up a city, how far is your Buddha from my demons?"

"Senior brother, as long as you take refuge sincerely, you will save everyone here, and your merit is immeasurable."

"Senior brother, I practice meditation but not Buddhism!"

……

In the evening of the next day, the sky over the Huangliang Wharf was overcast, thunder was rolling, and the wind was howling.

When the Wuding Bridge first surfaced, a meteorite with billowing black smoke suddenly fell diagonally from the sky, smashing a large crater on the other side of the river, and the dust flew all over the sky.

When the smoke cleared, many people who had come to see the excitement suddenly saw a shocking scene.

The Forgotten Worry Pavilion, which was originally out of sight, was revealed, and a big hole was broken in the center, and the building was collapsing, falling from the air one by one, making a mess all over the ground.

After only a moment's pause, the people rushed across the bridge in a frenzy, taking advantage of the chaos to grab valuable objects.

However, what is unexpected is that on the other side, I saw the pearls, gold, and silver scattered all over the ground, and after picking them up, they all turned into piles of dung.

Some people jumped to their feet and scolded angrily, some people lost their souls, and some people cried bitterly.

Nightmuffler also witnessed all this.

In fact, he spent the whole day wandering around the trestle and was one of the first to see the meteorite, and the only one who stayed where he was.

Because he had looked long enough and observed carefully enough, he was sure that it was not a meteorite, but a person!

When people find that no matter how much they move, in the end it will be in vain, and they will gradually dissipate in frustration.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Ye Yu came to the other side of the river.

At the edge of the pit, he saw a group of demons who had just dug a man out of the dirt.

The man's image was embarrassed, his whole body was scorched black, his clothes were torn, and there were blood stains on the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were exceptionally clear and shining, and he was the strange monk Huai'an.

When the black-clothed monk saw him, he strolled to the ground as if nothing had happened, slowly recovered his body, and asked, "Why are you still here?" ”

Ye Mo looked up at the sky with dark clouds, lowered his head again, and replied very seriously: "I don't think that's right."

As if to prove that this sentence was the answer he had come up with after careful consideration, the young man straightened his waist, but his legs shook with a thunderclap, and he almost fell into the pit.

Huai'an didn't seem surprised by this sudden words, just waited silently for the following.

Ye Chu bowed and clenched his fists: "In the name of false Taoism, deceiving the faith of others, although good is evil, this is as unreasonable as I have already eaten, but I have to be forced to eat another pot of rice, please ask the Zen master to teach the way to get out of trouble"

Huai'an nodded: "At a young age, I am a little ambitious, and there is indeed another way, but I am afraid it is not what you want."

"How?"

"Incarnate as a demon, enter my Forget Worries Pavilion to accumulate Zen wisdom, comprehend the Spiritual Body, and break the cage of heaven and earth"

Ye Yu was shocked, although he and his father were tantamount to demons in the eyes of those so-called righteous people in Middle-earth, but they still had some scruples when they heard this method.

"What do you mean by demons?"

"Yin and Yang grind each other, heaven and earth swing together"

The night is slightly flustered, these eight words he knows, it is from a Taoist classic "Yin and Yang Five Elements Theory", which roughly means that everything in the world is made of yin and yang.

He thought about it, "Does it have to be like this? ”

Huai'an nodded: "The way of heaven is like this, either a Buddha or a demon"

Ye Yu secretly clenched his fists, and was anxious to get out of this ghost place, but he couldn't care about it, and thought about it again: "What does the corpse mean?" ”

Huai An said: "All the remnants of the world are incomplete, and the spiritual body is the hub of the operation of the nine qis, such as the vital point of the human body and the eyes of the formation."

"Incomplete?" In the night, I remembered that I seemed to have heard someone say this word.

Huai'an saw that he was confused, and added: "The great avenue is derived, the sky is strange and even, and there is no one and ten, all of which are incomplete."

Ye was stunned: "Could it be that this is a Ten Jedi?" ”

Huai'an's face was as usual, and he nodded slightly.

……

The boy sat on the ground as if struck by lightning, staring blankly at the big pit in front of him, like a wood carved clay sculpture, motionless.

After a long time, a wave of anger suddenly rose in his heart, Feng Tielu and Zhao Jia may not know about this matter, but the dignified old master Zhang must know, but he didn't mention it before, it must be ulterior motives.

If he knew that this was the Ten Jedi, he would never have come in and risk it so easily, but it was ridiculous that he didn't know that he had been cheated until now, but he didn't know the real reason.

I don't know how long later, when he came to his senses, the sky had cleared, and the wind had stopped.

Huai'an led a team of little demons, beating gongs and drums to the other side of the river.

The boy thought that they were going to set up a stall to sell porridge, but they didn't expect the group to enter the water village.

He was afraid that he would not find any trace of the strange monk, so he rubbed his stiff cheeks, took a deep breath, forced himself to cheer up, and trotted after him.

In the water village, when people heard the sound of gongs and drums, and saw Huai'an coming to the street, they all seemed to see the plague god while shouting "the devil is coming" while fleeing in panic, and the scene suddenly became a mess.

There was a peddler with bad legs and feet who happened to be blocked in the corner, and immediately took out all the valuable objects on his body and offered them with both hands, not daring to have the slightest disobedience and disrespect, and the two poor men in shabby clothes next to him were even more frightened and pale, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing vigorously, begging for mercy, as if they had known this rule for a long time.

Huai'an disdained the gold, silver and money, came to the peddler's approach, and said with one palm: "Boss Wang, according to the accounts recorded in Yulan, the poor monk is going to take away something from you today, have you thought about it?" ”

The peddler surnamed Wang knelt on the ground, hugged Huai'an's thigh, and cried and begged: "The master spares his life, the master spares his life, I am old, I am young, and everyone is waiting for me to earn money to support, if I lack arms and legs, my family will be extinct, please ask the master to be merciful, let me be allowed for some time."

Huai An shook his head slightly, and sighed lightly: "Boss Wang, it's not that I'm not emotional, it's just that you owe too much debt, so let's do it, if you don't want to donate yourself, then give me the inventory in your stomach."

When the peddler heard this, he was even more frightened than before, and his legs kicked backwards, and he could not even say all the words begging for mercy.

Huai An stepped forward, helped him up with one hand, and quietly probed into his belly with the other, and took out something from it without hindrance.

Ye Mo had been following not far away, and almost dropped his jaw in shock.

He saw Huai'an take out a bonsai-like pine and cypress from the peddler's belly.

"This is spiritual soil?!"

Ye Mo exclaimed in his heart, he had never thought that such a thing as Lingyang could be taken out of his body.

Huai'an looked at the pine tree in his hand, then looked at the kneeling vendor, and said, "This spiritual root should be worth the debt you owe to the Buddha, you can go."

The peddler who was robbed of the spiritual soil in an instant, looking at the things in Huai'an's hand, burst into tears, like a desperate beggar, trembling with his hands raised, wanting to step forward to get his things back, but he was afraid of Huai'an's majesty, and did not dare to take a step forward.

Huai'an saw him like this, and persuaded: "The world depends on each other, and the outcome of life and death is unpredictable, although you have lost your soul today, it is not a good thing that you can be a rich man in peace."

The peddler was stunned for a moment, nodded helplessly, and walked away like a zombie wandering spirit.

When Yeyu saw this scene, her heart tightened slightly, and she kind of understood why these people on the street called Huai'an "devil".

……

Huai'an didn't trouble others anymore, slowly came to the middle of the road, and let his little demon carry a box full of gold beads, and said loudly: "Tomorrow, the poor monk will rebuild the Forget Worry Pavilion to relieve the upside down, and those who wish can offset the magic debt with work, and the extra daily reward is a bucket of beads, limited to three days."

As soon as the words fell, the entire water village was quiet, and many people hiding in the shadows secretly poked their heads out, a little unbelievable that this was true, and they all wondered in their hearts that there were so many strange things today.

But after only a few breaths, I had the courage to come forward and ask, and the imitators changed one by one, two by one, and by a group, and soon it became a situation where you pushed me and yelled.

Ye Yu watched from the sidelines, and saw that in addition to some young and strong laborers, there were also many old and weak women and children who also mixed in, but Huai'an did not refuse to come, and those who saw him had a share, and I didn't know what he thought.

After a while, dozens of people registered and took away the deposit.

The strange monk seemed to feel that there were not enough people, and ordered the little demons to lift the treasure chest that seemed to be inexhaustible forever, and led a group of people straight towards Taiping City.

Strange to say, it was supposed to be a half-day walk in the blink of an eye.

When the people on the bustling street saw Huai'an coming, their reactions were mostly the same as those of Shuizhai, and they avoided it.

But after hearing his explanation, they all became enthusiastic after being at a loss.

When the sun set, the black-clothed monk felt that the number of registered people was almost there, and he was satisfied with the order to turn back to the dock.

Ye Mo followed the team all the way and witnessed the whole process.

Huai'an crossed the bridge, casually threw the pine and cypress in his hand to the open space next to him, and in a blink of an eye, he added a small scene to the garden, and then went to the depths of the Forgotten Worry Forest with his back.

But such an act fell in the eyes of the little demon who was stopped at the bridge, but it was tantamount to a miracle.

But now standing on the bridge, and looking at the fairyland-like fairy forest on the opposite side, the boy feels a little creepy.

He finally understood why so many people ran crazy to grab things when the Forgotten Worry Pavilion was destroyed before.

How many people's spiritual soil must be this to form such a garden.

……

The next day, when many coolies who had come to earn money lined up to cross the bridge, the night drinkers also mixed in.

When Huai'an saw him, he waved his hand to stop him: "You have thought about it, once you become a demon, although you can obtain the wisdom of Prajna, it is not tolerated by heaven in this world, and all the karma you created in the past will be reincarnated in your own body, and maybe your soul will be shattered and become a monster with a soul fish body like my subordinates."

Ye Mo pursed her lips and nodded heavily.

He had been thinking about it all night last night, and now the thing in front of him was not how to find the shadow, but to think about getting out of here first.

Learning Buddhism and chanting sutras in order to achieve enlightenment is certainly unrealistic in a short period of time.

Entering the demon to practice meditation, pinning his hopes on Huai'an is the same, if he is so easy to cultivate, how can he himself still be here.

But the boy still came, and had to come.

Although it was unreliable to enter the demon, seeing the strange monk easily take away the hawker's spiritual soil yesterday gave him an inspiration, and he felt that there was a plan to take a risk, which was the only way he could think of it.

He wants to escape from here by Huai'an's hand.

"How do you turn demons?" Ye Mo secretly clenched his fists.

Huai'an raised his hand and pointed to the bridge: "Swim from this side of the river to the other side."

Ye Mo nodded slightly, didn't say anything more, and walked straight towards a high slope next to the riverbank.

Huai'an stood on the bridge, squinting at his thin back, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and muttered: "Senior brother, your Buddha can cross all things, but he can't cross this little baby's heart demon, is it ridiculous?" ”
