Chapter 51: White Lotus: Master, I want to learn supernatural powers
In this landscape painting, there are birds perched in the forest, animals roaming in the wild, fish, insects, plants and trees, all of which seem to have spirituality.
At this moment, the White Lotus Boy's mind seemed to have flown to an extremely far, extremely ethereal and lofty place, overlooking the common people, ignoring all kinds of situations in the world.
However, in an instant, he instantly became incomparably smaller, like a fine dust mustard seed, like an ant, curled up in a corner of the world, and there were wild beasts constantly passing overhead, and the horror was boundless.
There is also an incomparably bright and vast galaxy image slowly flowing in his eyes.
Time flies.
The winds of change.
The sun and the moon rotate.
There are also times when the sea is dry and the rocks are rotten, and the stars are also seen falling in the plains.
The vast fairy voice sings, and the strange beast gallops in the wilderness.
"Whirring ......"
The White Lotus Boy finally broke free from the picture scroll, gasping for breath, his eyes were full of shock, and his heart was also violently shaken.
From the Lich to the present, he has seen endless and wild battles, and he has also seen many strange scenes.
But the vision presented to him in this picture still felt incredible to him.
What surprised him even more was that the outside world was just a snap of his fingers, and he seemed to have spent hundreds of millions of years in it, and he deeply felt the majestic atmosphere, the endless heavenly principles and the appearance of the forest.
It was only for a short moment that he had a feeling that his Dao heart had collapsed.
It's like a small tank, which needs to carry the water of a river and a river, how can there be a reason not to collapse?
Fortunately, the White Lotus Boy only observed for a moment, if it was a long time, I am afraid that the spirit would fall into it forever and would not be able to break free.
However, it was only for a short time that he realized some of the truths of heaven and earth.
Heaven and earth have great beauty without saying, there is a clear law at the four times without discussion, and everything has a reason without saying.
All the Tao is in heaven and earth.
Wake up silently.
The White Lotus Boy just woke up to the fact that this mortal seemed to have not only one pair of ink treasures, but many pairs!
The quality of this Mobao is even above the previous "Walker Without Borders"!
Not only that, there are many calligraphy and paintings in the room, and each one seems to contain infinite rhyme and philosophy.
Suddenly, the White Lotus Boy's heart became nervous.
If there is only one, it can be said that this mortal has not known where to harvest it, but with so many ink treasures, it is obviously unlikely that it was obtained by chance.
And each one has such a terrifying rhyme, it almost drives people crazy!
At this time, Zhou Xuan also noticed the White Lotus Boy.
From the sensing of his sixth sense, he could roughly observe the outline of a human figure.
Humanoid youkai ...... Zhou Xuanxin said, is this another monkey monster?
Could it be that Sun Wukong's relatives can't be?
He didn't think much about it, but smiled, and said to Sun Wukong and Xiong Ba: "Who is this?" ”
Hearing this, Sun Wukong wanted to explain out loud, after all, the White Lotus was unruly before, empty-eyed, and extremely arrogant, he couldn't be sure whether the White Lotus boy really came to apprentice, or maybe he just came to explore the reality of the Void Heaven.
So Sun Wukong was a little worried that the master was deceived by White Lotus's hypocrisy.
But after thinking about it, how did Bai Lian deceive the master?
And at this time.
The white lotus boy actually knelt in front of the master with a thud, and kowtowed a few times very hard.
"Master, disciple Bai Lian, study sincerely!"
Sun Wukong and Xiong Ba were suddenly confused, and they opened their mouths wide, unable to say a word.
You must know that when this white lotus was still in the Dragon Palace before, her eyes were empty, and she was quite disrespectful to the old dragon king who was the overlord of the Western Sea, and even more disdainful of the monsters.
Even if he punched the White Lotus at that time, Sun Wukong knew that it was impossible for this thing to bow to him.
It was such an arrogant and arrogant white lotus boy who respectfully kowtowed to the master, and the contrast was too great, which surprised the two of them.
After all, they still prefer the unruly appearance of the White Lotus Boy.
'Another youkai is studying. ’
Zhou Xuan pondered in his heart, the monsters in this world are inevitably too easy to learn.
He actually didn't teach anything, just the language knowledge of primary and secondary school textbooks, as well as extracurricular novel reading, but he didn't expect that there would be monsters who kept coming to study.
This made Zhou Xuan feel a little emotional.
Monsters are eager to learn, but some of the current students can only sing the lonely brave, or they are idle and make trouble.
The gap is just too big.
However, another monster entered the school, and Zhou Xuan had a few more considerations in his heart.
He now clearly felt that the bear demon was obedient to the monkey demon, and almost Sun Wukong told him to go east and not dare to go west.
This is not a good thing in Zhou Xuan's opinion.
If one day there is a monster under the seat who wants to deceive the master and destroy the ancestor, this bear monster will only become an accomplice, and will not come to stop it, after all, this bear demon has almost no opinions, and it is easy to be shaken.
Since he can coax the bear demon around, others can naturally do it too.
So Zhou Xuan needs to take precautions against this.
Don't look at the monsters who respect themselves very much now, but as the saying goes, 'If you are not of my race, your heart will be different', although Zhou Xuan does not agree with this point of view, but it is undeniable that the same human beings, black and white are inseparable, and the difference between men and women is turned upside down, not to mention the monsters that are very different from human beings?
Moreover, his own life is more important than everything else, and he naturally cannot trust his life on the thoughts of others.
Judging from the current situation, the youkai are very friendly to him, but this danger cannot be ruled out.
At the same time, he also needs to use youkai to survive on this island.
Therefore, what Zhou Xuan wants is to absorb more monsters as disciples, and form a faction among the disciples, so as to achieve a balance by using demons to control demons.
Although the ancient emperors used this to balance their courtiers, it was easy to get away with it if they were not careful.
For example, some history lovers talk about the Ming Dynasty, but he died in party disputes.
But for Zhou Xuan, it won't be so complicated, he will only accept a dozen or twenty apprentices at most, and it is not the kind of hostile state above the court, just let the disciples compete with each other and get checks and balances, so as not to have a situation that he can't control.
In the future, if there are more disciples, he will not be able to control them, and he needs to check and balance each other among the disciples to balance the situation.
Even if there are youkai who rebel, there will be other youkai who will stand up, so that there will be no situation where he can't cope with it alone.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan had a plan to accept apprentices.
As for the White Lotus Boy, he was apprehensive.
He wasn't sure if the mortal in front of him was a master or not, but he already believed it in his heart, and no matter what, he had to bow to his subordinates first, and then observe it carefully.
If this mortal was not a Da Luo Immortal, then the other party would sooner or later show his feet, and it would be impossible to escape his eyes.
"Get up."
Zhou Xuan did not directly express his willingness to accept apprentices, but asked the second demon, "Wukong, Xiongba, how did you two and White Lotus meet." ”
At the moment when the three of them came in, Zhou Xuan felt that the atmosphere was a little delicate.
After all, if it was really a sincere youkai, Xiong Ba and Goku would be quite welcome, but on the contrary, neither of them spoke, but stood aside.
Zhou Xuan quickly noticed this, so he spoke directly.
There's definitely something greasy here.
"Back to Master......"
Sun Wukong sighed in his heart, he knew that he couldn't hide anything from his master, so he said one by one, "I had some friction with White Lotus before, and my disciple relied on the Taoism taught by the master to discuss the Tao with White Lotus, and the result was naturally that the disciple won." ”
Seeing this, the White Lotus boy also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey: "Because I am envious of Brother Wukong's Taoism, the disciple came to Taixutian to learn from the teacher, and asked the master to take him in!" ”
"Oh?"
Zhou Xuan was a little surprised.
It turned out that the two sides had a discussion, and Wukong won.
This is also normal, the sage scripture is the words of the sage, which contains profound and profound truths and philosophies, and it is normal for Bai Lian to debate the scriptures with him.
In this way, it is even better, there are already some contradictions, and it is more convenient to check and balance by accepting disciples.
"Well, you will enter my sect as a registered disciple."
Zhou Xuan nodded slightly.
The reason why Bai Lian was accepted as a registered disciple was also due to his considerations.
According to Zhou Xuan's own observations, mountain monsters such as Sun Wukong and Xiong Ba have no names, and this new disciple was called White Lotus when he started, indicating that he once served his lord and took the name at that time.
Since he used to worship under others, now he has switched to him, and he has a history of betrayal.
Moreover, Bai Lian and Sun Wukong have some mustards, if they accept Bai Lian as an official disciple from the beginning, Sun Wukong and Xiong Ba will inevitably be dissatisfied.
But the registered disciples don't have this trouble, and the white lotus is not an official disciple, which means that the master still values them more, so naturally it will not cause unhappiness.
As a registered disciple, Bai Lian has a nominal 'class' between her and the official disciples, similar to Brahmin and Dalit, by artificially creating a generation gap, there is a gap in status between the two sides, and it is difficult for the two sides to unite.
It's a triple win.
As for him, who is a master, he only needs to treat everyone equally, and there is no need to be sad about the status of a disciple, which is something that the apprentice has to consider.
…… Named disciple.
Knowing that Bai Lian was just a name under the master's seat, Sun Wukong and Xiong Ba were relieved.
The two of them are naturally a grade superior to Bai Lian in terms of reputation, so they naturally don't take a small registered disciple seriously.
Xiong Ba even laughed secretly in his heart.
Originally, he was worried that Bai Lian would take his place, but he didn't expect to become his little junior brother, which would kill him.
On the other hand, the White Lotus Boy's face changed slightly, and he quickly calmed down.
One is that he has not cut off from Buddhism, he is still a member of Buddhism in essence, if he becomes a formal disciple, he has become a slave with three surnames, which seems nondescript.
A heavenly immortal like him worships under his disciple, and it is naturally condescending to be a registered disciple, but he is duplicitous, not sincere, and the named disciple is just right.
You must know that the two founders of their Western religion were also registered disciples of Xuanmen back then.
Although his reputation is low, he is not as good as the rest of the disciples under the throne of the Dao Ancestor, but after all, he has become a saint, and he is now the supreme of heaven and earth, not only does he not have to be bound by the Xuanmen, but he can also stand on his own.
This named disciple is like a temporary worker.
The master can completely ignore it, and if the apprentice wants to leave, he only needs to inform the master, only the moral status of the master and apprentice, and there is no causal involvement between the master and the apprentice, and neither party needs to have any moral burden.
So.
This has instead fulfilled the White Lotus Boy.
The second is that Bai Lian has seen a lot of powerful people in Buddhism, what Taiyi Daluo, everywhere in Buddhism, this blind master in front of him does look a little extraordinary, but it is still in his expectations.
Therefore, Bai Lian appeared relatively calm, and quickly adapted to the identity of a registered disciple.
"Thank you, Master."
Bai Lian let out a long breath, and finally lurked in, and then he only needed to observe secretly, and sooner or later he would be able to find the secret.
After a simple apprenticeship, the White Lotus Boy raised his head and saw the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, feeling that each one contained mysteries and more Taoist rhymes.
At a cursory glance, he only felt that countless insights had poured into his mind, making him feel a sense of swelling and pain.
Terror...
Shock...
Who is this person, and why does Buddhism know nothing about it?
However, at this moment, Bai Lian is not sure whether the other party is a powerhouse in this world, and it is possible that the god who created these works is hidden behind the scenes, and the blind man in front of him is just his agent.
Therefore, Bai Lian hopes to observe more and then make a conclusion.
Although the blind man in front of him has an excellent temperament and a superior posture, he has never made a move or used supernatural powers after all, so Bai Lian has reservations about this and does not immediately draw conclusions.
Strength is always the first criterion for breaking delusions.
There are many powerful people in the flood wilderness, which one of them did not fight all the way up on the mountain of corpses and the sea of blood.
Therefore, as long as this master did not make a move, he had doubts.
However, before that, he still kept to himself, just be the other party's cheap apprentice, and see what the other party could teach him.
Regarding Bai Lian's complex heart, Zhou Xuan naturally didn't know.
But he can feel that the three monsters have their own thoughts, and they all seem to be a little unable to let go, although he is as powerful as an abyss on weekdays, but he usually gets along well with Wukong and Xiongba, and these two monsters will not be as silent and restrained as they are today.
Therefore, Zhou Xuan knew that it should be the reason why Bai Lian was accepted as a registered disciple, which made the two demons uncomfortable.
Zhou Xuan really needs to use demons to control demons, but it is not good if the brothers are too unfamiliar.
If the two sides disagree and start a fight, it is not conducive to the stability of Taixutian.
Everything needs to be kept to a degree.
He waved his hand and said to his disciples, "Sit down casually, wait a while, go make a pot of tea for the teacher first, and preach slowly." ”
The three of them were all stunned, Master's room is not big, and there is no place to sit, where are you going to sit?
Either standing, or sitting on the floor.
But it doesn't matter.
The master didn't preach for three months, and this time he took advantage of the new disciples to give them a lesson, which made Sun Wukong and Xiong Ba's attitude towards Bailian a little better, and at the same time, they were faintly looking forward to the content of the master's sermon.
From the gods and demons to the Sage Sutra, and then to the Walker Boundless, what kind of vast supernatural powers will be next? They couldn't imagine it at all.
I saw Zhou Xuan get up and go to make tea.
Drinking tea and talking about the Tao at the same time is a wonderful thing in the world.
Looking at Zhou Xuan's back, Bai Lian secretly thought to herself, in his eyes, this master was just like a mortal, and there was no mana in his body.
And making tea is such a trivial matter, and it is quite incredible in Bailian's opinion.
You must know that those Taiyi Golden Immortals and Da Luo Golden Immortals in Buddhism are all holding shelves, and let them do the trivial things of serving tea and pouring water, it is really better to kill them.
However, even if it is this kind of thing that can be done with the touch of a finger, this blind master has to do it step by step.
It's hard to convince Bai Lian that this is a master with great mana.
