Chapter 124: The Ancestor's Question

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that for a great supernatural person like Patriarch Bodhi, it was just a matter of one thought to be a "doppelganger", and there was no difficulty.

In fact, let alone the Bodhi Patriarch, even Jiang Chen is now able to use the change technique in the Nine Turns Xuangong to achieve the effect of "doppelganger". The future Brother Monkey can also do it by relying on seventy-two changes.

So it's not that difficult.

It's just that Jiang Chen didn't expect that Patriarch Bodhi would come to his residence. Because before, Patriarch Bodhi was still very reserved...... For example, the code word that knocked himself three times, and the later method of divine soul signs.

Unexpectedly, this time, not only did he come in person, but he also came before the sermon was over. Seemingly...... Unlike the appearance of the untouched, the arrival of the Virgin Mary actually made the Bodhi Patriarch ...... Or "Lingbao Tianzun" was also touched.

"Ancestor, this is something that no senior asked me to hand over to the ancestor on my behalf. ”

Jiang Chen saw that the Bodhi Patriarch was here, so he didn't have the mind to continue to watch the Qingping Sword. Gently picked up the Qingping sword with both hands and handed it to the Bodhi Patriarch.

“......”

Patriarch Bodhi took the sword with his left hand, and touched the hilt of the sword with his right hand, his gaze seemed to be more profound, as if he was remembering something......

After a while, he suddenly asked, "Jiang Chen, do you know why I forbade you to come to Yaotai to listen to the lecture?"

江辰微微一愣,不知道为什么菩提祖师会忽然问这个问题。

He pondered for a moment, then said, "I think the patriarch must have discovered that I know human nature, so he thinks it's okay not to talk to me about worldly rituals. ”

If it was before, Jiang Chen might have thought that Patriarch Bodhi was really angry because of his "cleverness". But then, the patriarch taught his own Shangqing Cave Xuanjing, ** Xuangong, and even the method of enlightenment and sanctification. It has been proven that instead of getting angry, Patriarch Bodhi loved himself very much.

In this case, it stands to reason that it would not be forbidden to go to the lecture by yourself.

The reason why it was forbidden was only because Patriarch Bodhi felt that he didn't need to learn those rituals and wasted his time.

"You monkey, you're really smart. ”

Patriarch Bodhi stroked his beard slightly and said, "Most of the disciples in the three-star cave are incarnates of spirits. Among them, even the most noble-born Rakshasa and Ao Qing still don't know much about etiquette. If we act according to our nature, we may cause many causes and effects in the future, and we may suffer from calamities. That's why I pay more attention to their virtues than their skills. ”

"You, however, are different. You monkey doesn't know how to fit the roots, and you are so smart. Not only did I understand the rules and regulations of the world, but I also saw through their essence. So it doesn't be much use to keep you learning those things, even if you learn from the past. ”

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "The ancestor is wise." ”

Yes, why teach the truth that you have already learned and the ability to learn it again. This couldn't help but remind Jiang Chen of the drawbacks of the class teaching system he had studied in his previous life. Not only is it difficult to teach students according to their aptitude, but it is also easier to cause redundancy of wasted time, and even discourage students' enthusiasm and hinder the cultivation of self-learning ability...... Ahem, the topic is far away.

However, it can be seen that not to mention whether the former Lingbao Tianzun had such a experience, at least the current Bodhi Patriarch is indeed a good teacher.

But at this time, Patriarch Bodhi suddenly changed his words again: "But, Jiang Chen." As you said, whether it's Confucianism or Legalism. The Hundred Schools of Thought are just the rituals of the world, and in fact they may not conform to the way of heaven. What's more, everyone's understanding is also biased, and it is even more difficult to judge how much you can learn. Moreover, if there really is someone who wants to calculate them. Even if you go through etiquette and morality, you will inevitably be in a different place. Therefore......"

Jiang Chen couldn't help frowning.

This is what Patriarch Bodhi meant...... Does that mean......

"So even though I taught them how to avoid evil. It is inevitable that in the future, there will still be disasters. Patriarch Bodhi said: "Jiang Chen, after all, you have a friendship with them, and I ask you, if they encounter disasters in the future." What should you do? It is to return to the cave and recite the "Yellow Court" quietly. Or would you like to help them, or even share them through the disaster?"

Jiang Chen suddenly understood.

With these words, Patriarch Bodhi is asking himself what he would do if his fellow disciples were in danger......

But why did he ask this? Could it be that the Bodhi Patriarch had already arrived, and these spirits would definitely suffer calamity in the future?

Although, if it's a catastrophe, it's not bad.

"Journey to the West" is the opportunity for the rise of Buddhism, and it is often called "Journey to the West". This statement of calamity is actually a bit exaggerated. Because the scale of Journey to the West will not reach the level of "calamity".

However, Journey to the West is indeed a disaster. Although the creatures involved in it are not as good as the War of the Gods, they are also not small in scale!

Especially now these disciples who are studying in the Samsung Cave basically have no good end in Journey to the West. The true identity of the Bodhi Patriarch is one of the three Qings, Lingbao Tianzun. It is actually normal for him to be able to calculate the calamity of the disciples.

Therefore, Patriarch Bodhi pays more attention to their moral upbringing. But in fact, how could he not know that if he really encountered calamity, or even was calculated, how could the ordinary method of seeking good fortune and avoiding evil be useful?

But...... To be honest, even if Patriarch Bodhi didn't ask Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen would occasionally ask himself this question.

Although these fellow sects are spirits, they are by no means bad people, and they are very similar to the sectarians back then, and they are all very friendly. Not to mention anything else, it was already very touching to repeat this kind of behavior to Jiang Chen at the risk of punishment every night at the end of the sermon.

If he watched them go to death, Jiang Chen really couldn't do it. But if he can help them and protect them in the future, Jiang Chen still doesn't have that confidence......

Before, it was just said that the main thing is to improve cultivation. But now that the matter is coming, Patriarch Bodhi asked him, and he couldn't say that he would definitely help, but thought about it carefully.

Jiang Chen pondered, and Patriarch Bodhi did not interrupt, but quietly waited for his thinking.

As a matter of fact...... Patriarch Bodhi's move was not meant to test him. Just wondering what his choice will be. Of course, don't say that Jiang Chen has no intention of lying, at this moment, the Bodhi Patriarch is calm, staring at him, if he really lies, he will also be deceived.

It wasn't until half an hour later that Jiang Chen said: "Ancestor, if the same door is in trouble, I will take action or seek help." But if I know that the matter has been settled, and if I reluctantly help each other, it will only increase the casualties, then I can only cultivate my self-cultivation and temper myself in the cave. If you are powerful, you will take care of the same door, and if you are incompetent, you will be alone. ”
