If the monks of the world do not want to lose their consciousness after the death of their physical bodies, and they do not want to enter the extraterritorial spiritual realm where there is no entry or exit, then there is only one way to be reborn. After the relinquishment, it is difficult to say whether or not you can set foot on the path of cultivation again, and even if you have the support of a master from the beginning, it is difficult to guarantee whether you can return to the peak state.

Although the Yuanshen monk has the means to abandon his body and survive with the Yuanshen, he is just surviving. A monk who fails to transcend the limits of human cultivation and knock on the door of immortality once he loses his physical body is a dead end, but it is only a matter of time or time.

The ability of the Jiuyang Demon Venerable to rush out of the extraterritorial spiritual realm and return to the present world is already jaw-dropping. As for the reincarnation of the ninth, in Shi Qingsong's opinion, it is even more incredible.

Rukong Dao: "This is the practice method of Buddhism, although it is extremely difficult, but there is a law to follow after all." The fact that the Nine Yang Demon Venerable can leave the extraterritorial spirit world and return to the present world is truly extraordinary. ”

Shi Qingsong asked, "What about this ...... This Lion Venerable is now the tenth generation, and all the memories from before, cultivation, can still be ......"

"When a life goes out, the lights go out in a lifetime, and the past is naturally not remembered. As for cultivation, it is even more owned by the physical body, how can there be any talk of continuing to carry it to the next life. ”

Talking about this, there is a rare feeling of yearning: "The ninth generation has been reincarnated, forging a truly pure heart, and a clear and thorough understanding of Buddhism, which is unchanged from generation to generation. Although the past is forgotten and the cultivation is not there, but after re-entering the Buddha's door, it is a thousand steps and a thousand miles, which is difficult to reach. ”

"Three years of Jindan, ten years of Gangsha, thirty years of Yuanying. With such a speed of entry, for ordinary monks, he is a genius-level figure, and it can be said that it is difficult to come out for a thousand years. But compared to the Lion, this is really ......"

Rukong shook his head slightly, chanted a Buddha horn in a low voice, and said no more.

Buddhism does not worship the realm of mana, although there are all kinds of supernatural powers, but they do not use it as energy. It's just that after all, it is on the path of cultivation, and it is difficult to avoid vulgarity, and disciples must also have a benchmark for their cultivation, so there are also some sayings about measuring cultivation. It's just that in Buddhism, the less these sayings are mentioned, the better.

What's more, this Lion Venerable is also a generation of teachers and elders who are like nothing. Although he is no longer a disciple, it is not appropriate to talk about it from the sidelines.

has been in Buddhism for 20 years, and the ties and feelings in it can not be completely erased by the words "expelled from the mountain gate".

"It's over. ”

A young man's voice came from outside the door, and before he could finish speaking, he saw a young monk enter the side hall.

This monk's dress is no different from that of an ordinary monk, and his face and expression are no different. Just looking at the past, it was just an ordinary monk.

After saluting Shi Qingsong and Rukong Heshi, the young monk said, "Let the two of you wait for a long time." ”

Rukong stood up, saluted back, and said, "I've seen the lion." ”

"It's been a long time. The monk known as the Lion Venerable smiled at Rukong, and turned to look at Shi Qingsong on the side: "This is Mr. Jiuyang's senior apprentice?"

Swept away by the young monk's eyes, Shi Qingsong struck suddenly in his heart for no reason. Although the person in front of him was just an ordinary monk, and he didn't feel the slightest sign of mana or supernatural powers, Shi Qingsong felt that he was seen through by the young monk from the inside out.

After settling down, Shi Qingsong arched his hand and said: "Don't dare, it's just that the demon venerable is not stupid, and he stays under the seat to listen to the teachings, and he is a bad person who does not enter the stream." ”

Shi Qingsong had never spoken to the first level of the Great Sect before, and Xu Qi was the first. Now seeing this reincarnated tenth lion venerable, Shi Qingsong had a lot of amazement in his heart, a little nervous, but he didn't mean to be inferior or timid.

I am a disciple of the Nine Yang Demon Venerable.

With this in mind, Shi Qingsong has a grasp and foundation for what to do.

"Lord Shi is humble. ”

The lion turned to the door and said to the two: "The first seat of each hall of our temple has arrived, please come with me." ”

Rukong nodded slightly, and together with Shi Qingsong, followed behind the Lion Venerable.

Outside the side hall, all the monks gathered, all of them were the first seats and deacons. Seeing the lion and the two of them out of the side hall together, all the monks bowed their heads, respectful and solemn.

The lion led Shi Qingsong and Rukong to the main hall, and when he stepped in, he saw two rows of monks sitting.

These monks, unlike the monks outside the main hall, are in charge of one side of the matter. The heads of the monasteries were under these monks.

And above these monks, there is only one person, the first abbot of the Pure Land Buddha Sect, Lion Zun.

The Pure Land Buddha Sect can be received with such specifications, and there are not many people in the cultivation path.

The lion venerable sat down cross-legged on the futon in the right position, and said lightly: "As empty, you said that you have something to say in front of your first seat, and at this moment, all the deacons and the first seat have arrived." What you have to say, you can say. ”

After finishing speaking, Lion Venerable turned to an old monk on the side and said softly: "Fayuan, if you say that you want to see you, and today you are in the Arhat Hall, then this matter is up to you." ”

"Yes. ”

The old monk answered, turned to Rukong, who was standing in public, and asked, "The poor monk is in charge of the Pure Land Buddha Sect and punishment, I don't know what to say to the poor monk?"

Rukong looked at the familiar faces in the hall, and his heart was touched. He exhaled in a low breath and nodded to the old monk of Fayuan: "There is indeed something for Master Fayuan to make a decision. ”

After a pause, he said emptyly: "A few days ago, when Mr. Shi and I were leaving the country, we found that there was a plague rampant, and there was also a monk's relief. Mr. Shi Xiao and I were supposed to save people, but we tracked down all the way and found many things. ”

There is nothing to hide between the empty words, and everything that the two of them have done is told as it is. Why Monk Fuwu and the others were killed, and how they tracked down those disciples and disciples, Rukong also told them one by one.

He said in an ordinary tone, but the monks in the audience were secretly frightened.

The two of them walked all the way, really one step at a time, with blood on their hands, and they walked a bloody road.

In these ordinary words, there are hundreds of lives!

After saying the original thing, Rukong bowed to the old monk Fayuan Heste, and said: "Follow it all the way, only to know that the matter is related to the Pure Land Buddhism." Within the Pure Land Buddhism, there are people who are related to those evil monks and thieves and promote evil deeds. ”

"Mr. Shi Xiao and I are here just to find out about this matter. ”

After speaking, he didn't say anything, waiting for the old monk Fayuan to speak.

"Amitabha Buddha ......"

Fa Yuan recited a Buddha name in a low voice, his eyes drooping slightly, and he looked extremely compassionate. Then he looked at Rukong with his eyes, shook his head slightly, and said: "The poor monk dares to ask, how did Zen Master Rukong say this calmly after killing so many people and creating such a blood debt?"

Fa Yuan is in charge of the Luohan Hall, and the punishment is all with him. But when he heard Rukong talk about the things, he was shocked in his heart.

Looking at the sky, it is still the same as when I left the temple. It's just that he seems to have changed people from the inside out, so people can't recognize that this is the empty monk of the day.

Rukong said: "There are many people who have died because of this, but each one has its own reason for death." Killing is not killing, it is intended to cut off the source of evil and clarify the world. ”

Fa Yuan shook his head and said, "According to this, Zen Master Rukong feels that what he has done is quite reasonable, and it is worth spreading everywhere?"

Rukong said in a flat tone, "I don't have the slightest sense of self-pride because of this, and it is even more unnecessary to spread around, but to do a thing to clean up the garbage and sweep away the dust of the world." ”

Fa Yuan gently twisted the beads in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Even if those people do evil, they should be given a chance to repent. Although you are not a monk of this monastery, you are still a disciple of Buddhism. How could it be a Buddhist disciple who took human life lightly?"

"Harm people pay for life, this is the truth. ”

Rukong, who had been lowering his eyes slightly, raised his eyes to look at the old monk Fayuan, looked at him, and his tone tightened slightly: "If you don't kill them, what will happen to those people who have been poisoned?

Rukong's tone was even tighter, "Since the people who were killed by them don't have a chance to live again, how can those evil monks and thieves have the opportunity to repent of themselves and start over?"

"The compassion of Buddhism has been completely abandoned by you, Master Rukong. ”

Fa Yuan pinched the beads in his hand, stared straight at Rukong, and said, "Zen Master Rukong broke the vows that day, why didn't the Pure Land Zen Sect give Zen Master Rukong a chance?

"I killed people that day, and I killed all the people who could be killed, and they all deserved to die. If you kill me in this way, I will have no remorse. Even if I had to do it all over again, I would still have chosen it that day. ”

Rukong exhaled slightly, and now he recalls the events of the day, and when he talks about the events of the day, it seems that the blocks that exist in his chest are gradually disappearing.

Was what you did that day right or wrong?

Is it worth it?

Although when the choice was made that day, there was a decision in the hollow heart, but after all, this matter still became a barrier in the chest and could not be exhausted.

Now the old things are brought up again, like a hollow block fading away.

There is nothing wrong with what you did that day, and you don't have to worry about whether it is worth it or not.

Just do what you need to do, and you don't have to ask about the pros and cons.

Exhale softly, as if empty: "I have never let go of the heart of compassion." I am compassionate, and I should be compassionate to others. But the use of my mercy is different, and the use of my mercy is not the same. ”

The old monk Fayuan gently twisted the two beads, and sighed slightly in his heart.

When Rukong killed his fellow disciples that day and was escorted to the Luohan Hall for trial, the two had a conversation.

Although there was a sense of absolute regret in the empty words of that day, there was more confusion.

Mistakes and mistakes, although I still feel that what I have done is not wrong, but it is common to feel confused in my heart.

Fa Yuan felt quite a pity that day, but Fa Du was here, and he did not allow his own mind to make a decision.

After he left the mountain gate, he experienced some tempering in the rolling red dust of the world, and he should be able to go through the past and return to the right path, and his heart is no longer confused. At that time, although I still can't go back to the mountain gate, I can still achieve something in the future, and I won't waste that excellent Buddha nature and root bones.

Unexpectedly, although today's Rukong heart is no longer confused, and his firm determination is better than before, he has completely embarked on the evil road and stepped into the boundless sea of suffering.

As soon as you enter the red dust, the five aggregates are lost.

Fa Yuan stared straight at the sky, the sound was like low rolling thunder, which sounded deafening, and there were several points of "drink at the head and expose the obstacles" of the Buddhist image:

"The sea of bitterness is endless, and turning back is the shore!"

He bowed to the Fayuan and said softly.

"You've reached the other side, why turn back?"

At this moment, it is like a hollow block disappearing.
