"Shizun, there is a problem with the disciple."

In the Great Lei Yin Temple, Jin Chanzi stood in front of Rulai with humility on his face.

Even so, anyone can see that he is not here to ask for advice, but to "argue".

Looking at his two disciples, Rulai's face was peaceful, and Gu Jing had no waves, but he slowly spit out a sentence:

"What's the problem?"

Jin Chanzi saluted respectfully, then stood up straight, staring at his master with a pair of eyes, without the slightest evasion.

The disciple found that everything in the world is stable now, the immortals are different, the three realms are clear, and everything is predestined, so he has doubts in his heart.

The disciple didn't understand why all the passages to becoming immortals and Buddhas were now closed, and the immortals, Buddhas, ghosts and gods were all making rules for sentient beings, but this rule was ...... Where did it come from?

The disciple remembers that whether it is the World Venerable You, the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Court, or the Heavenly Gods and Buddhas, and the Ghosts and Gods of the Earth, most of them were once mortals, and they were able to ascend after attaining the Dao.

In this way, we are no different from mortals, and we are also of the same root, and we are in order to manage the order, so why are we ...... now? Like the rules themselves? ”

Jin Chanzi's words are very sharp, and the words are beady, and there are hidden questions, which is also the question he has given birth to in the mortal world these days.

He felt that everything seemed to be wrong, and that everything was no longer what he had thought it would be, so he came to the Lord as soon as he finished his ascetic practice to get an answer.

"Jin Chan, you're in love."

Hearing Jin Chanzi's question, Rulai had not yet spoken, but the brothers and sisters spoke one after another.

"You only see sentient beings bound by rules, but you don't see them more peaceful in this, those who have no enlightenment are originally ignorant, only the wisdom of immortals and Buddhas can cross them to the other side."

"Huh, huh?"

Hearing the answer of the senior brothers, Jin Chanzi suddenly sneered, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and his breath was instantly awe-inspiring.

"Then brothers, please answer me, why are there so many people who have attained enlightenment before the intervention of the Immortal Buddha, but under the wisdom of the Immortal Buddha, no one can become enlightened, is it because...... Are all living beings more ignorant? ”

"This ......"

I have to say that Jin Chanzi's question hit the nail on the head, so that the brothers couldn't answer it for a while, or rather...... I don't want to answer.

Because the facts are here, and everyone knows that it is difficult to be wise all the time, and occasionally confused...... It's simple.

However, they wanted to pretend to be confused, but Jin Chanzi didn't do it, his pair of golden eyes swept over the faces of his brothers one by one, and then he spoke again:

"From ancient times to the present, dynasties have changed, and wise people have appeared frequently, and the wisdom of mortal dust should also be continuously improved.

But now in this mortal world, the wise are becoming fewer and the ignorant are becoming more and more numerous, but it is not difficult to find that the wise are not disappearing, but ......

They all entered the Buddhist temple and Taoist temple! ”

"Presumptuous!"

Hearing the last sentence, the brothers were all angry, and they glared angrily at the golden cicada one by one, as if they had been touched against the scales.

Except for one person, that was Su Bodhi, who looked at the golden cicada surrounded by all the brothers and sisters, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a thoughtful look.

"World-honored, forgive the disciple for being rude."

After being drunk by the brothers and sisters with a "presumptuous" slap, the golden cicada seemed to have reined in, bowed towards Rulai, and his face was apologetic and sincere.

However, just when the brothers and sisters thought that he was repentant and sudden, he suddenly raised his eyebrows coldly, faced Rulai, and shouted in a deep voice:

"Then just ask, I am a disciple of the World-Honored One, I apologize for the rudeness, the World-Honored One can forgive, this is a natural and righteous etiquette that the universe has always had!

But my Buddha was born in heaven and earth, and had an epiphany between heaven and earth, and heaven and earth are the teachers of the world. ”

"You are so bold that you dare to disrespect the world!!"

As soon as Jin Cicada's voice fell, before the brothers were angry, a voice came out of the air.

In the next second, Su Bodhi stepped forward, reached out and grabbed the placket of the golden cicada's clothes, glaring angrily, and his face was all red.

It's just that when he saw his face, Jin Chanzi was suddenly stunned, because he found that his junior brother didn't seem to be sincere.

Although his face was angry, there was no anger in his eyes, on the contrary, his eyes were extremely calm and appreciative.

“……”

In just this moment, the golden cicada understood, Su Bodhi...... It's on their own side.

Obviously, he had something to say to himself, but this was not the right occasion to talk about it in detail.

So, he didn't pay attention to Su Bodhi, but directly slapped Su Bodhi's hand away and looked directly in the direction of Rulai.

"Shizun, the disciple chased casually because of the great wisdom of Shizun, and now I dare to ask, whether the original Shizun is still there now!"

“！！！”

Hearing this question, everyone was shocked, they didn't expect that the golden cicada would be so bold.

Questioning the Buddha is unthinkable in their eyes, but they ...... And there is no real way to refute it.

"It's good that you can have this doubt."

It was only then that Rulai finally spoke.

"This shows that your ascetic deeds this time are indeed useful, and you have become more transparent and able to understand all beings."

Hearing the words of the World-Honored One, all the disciples returned to their positions, bowed their heads, and began to listen to the World-Honored One's sermons.

As far as they are concerned, all problems can be solved as long as the Lord speaks, and the great wisdom that the Lord possesses is far beyond their means.

"The disciple is willing to listen to the teachings of the World-Honored One."

At this moment, even the golden cicada, who was still questioning loudly just now, put away all his expressions and stood in place and listened quietly.

If the words of the World-Honored One can convince him or even understand it, then he cannot ask for it, and seeking the Tao from "debate" and understanding reason from "debate" is the fundamental purpose of "debate".

In the next second, Rulai continued:

"Jin Cicada, I know why you are like this, it is nothing more than that I and the Jade Emperor imprisoned sentient beings with rules, gathered wisdom, and obtained the fruit of the Dao, yes or no?"

"Yes!"

Jin Chanzi directly admitted.

"Then let me ask you, you have been in the mortal world for decades, have you ever seen a person enter a Buddhist temple or a Taoist temple, and was dragged in by a monk and Taoist?"

"No!"

"In this case, how can we gather wisdom? The Buddhist temple and Taoist temple are there, and whether to enter or not to enter is the choice of the people of the world themselves. Rulai smiled.

"The wise person should be ben (bian), voluntarily enter the Buddhist temple to seek wisdom, everything is natural, and there is no compulsion."

"Then dare to ask the World Venerable, what is the explanation for the rules set by this immortal Buddha for the mortal world?" At this time, the golden cicada sensed that something was wrong.

"Good and evil are rewarded, the cycle of cause and effect, this is the basic, the disciple has nothing to say, but now why is even the marriage, even the fate, and even the number of life and death all decided by the immortal Buddha? So...... Who gets the Tao and who can't, whether it's a fixed number! ”

"It's all a definite number, so why not?"

And in the next second, Rulai's answer made Jin Chanzi's face look shocked, not only him, but even the rest of the disciples also showed doubts.

Followed by......

"Your cultivation is not enough, and it is normal to have this doubt, just because you have not yet discovered that the heavens, the earth, the universe, everything in the world, everything...... It's all a fixed number. ”

"It's all a definite number?"

Hearing this, Jin Chanzi couldn't help frowning, as if he had an understanding, but it was extremely unreal.

"That's right, it's all a fixed number, you are, so am I and the Jade Emperor, Sanqing is, and the way of heaven is the same."

As Rulai's words came out, everyone only felt a blow on the head, as if they heard the sound of thunder, and they were stunned for a while.

"All in the world, whether it is an immortal Buddha or a stone, are all on the established track, and your wisdom is not obtained by yourself but by nature, and it is the same for me and the Jade Emperor."

“！！！”

Hearing this, Jin Chanzi's eyes widened suddenly, and his mouth opened slightly, but he couldn't say a word.

In fact, all this is simple, and it is nothing more than that the operation of all things in the world is an innate law, but if we extend it to "everything is a fixed number", for the seeker......

Undoubtedly the Great Terror!

But......

"Heh......"

After a moment, Jin Chanzi suddenly smiled, and the respect in his eyes gradually dissipated, and he looked at Rulai, and suddenly felt that this World Venerable was too strange.

This is not the Shakyamuni I swore to follow......

He shook his head in disappointment......

Then, he clenched his fists all at once!

"The words of the World Honorable, I believe and have understood, the wisdom of the World Lord can see the deep meaning that we cannot see, the golden cicada is still admired, but ......"

His eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Heaven and earth are heaven and earth, the world is the world, and the Jade Emperor is the Jade Emperor...... Heaven and earth are ruthless, but the World Venerable and the Jade Emperor are affectionate, and those who are sentient are wrong, how can your rules be qualified to compare with heaven and earth! ”

“！！！”

“……”

"Alas......"

Hearing his words, all the disciples on the side trembled, but Rulai looked at him quietly and sighed softly.

"It seems that you have not yet realized that you have a demonic obstacle in your heart...... Say, what do you want? ”

"I ......"

Jin Chanzi thought about it and immediately made a decision.

"I am willing to cut off this body, abandon the fruit position, re-enter the samsara, and seek my wisdom!"

"What?!"

Hearing that the golden cicada was going to give up the fruit position, the rest of the disciples were shocked, you must know that the fruit position represents all their cultivation and achievements, and it is the result of their years of practice, how can they just give up!

"Okay."

However, without the slightest hesitation, Rulai nodded directly, and this agreed.

"So it is better for you to seek answers to your own doubts, and if you decide so, I will fulfill you.

It's just that if you give up the fruition, you can't get it again, and you need to bear how you create in the future, whether it's an immortal or a Buddha, it just depends on how you go on your own path.

However, you have chosen a path that your brothers and sisters dare not choose, which proves that you have great courage, perhaps...... It's not clear if you'll be able to break out of a new world. ”

"Nature."

Jin Chanzi nodded, but he no longer had the slightest respect, which meant that he was no longer the second disciple of Rulai.

At the same time, he also felt the subtle changes in everything around him, which was a feeling of being free from bondage, which also meant "freedom".

"Heaven and earth have a fixed number, and all things have no fixed number"!

At this moment, a path that belonged only to the golden cicada appeared in front of him.

Although this path is still extremely vague, it is deeply rooted in his heart, and everything that belongs to the "Buddha" has been quietly transformed.

"So, farewell!"

At this point, there is no point in talking about it anymore, and it won't be long before the fruit position and Buddha body of the golden cicada will dissipate.

And he still remembered that Su Bodhi had behaved strangely just now, and he wanted to take advantage of the last bit of time to talk to him to see what it meant.

"Senior brother, slow down!"

Sure enough, not long after the golden cicada walked out of the Great Lei Yin Temple, there was a shouting sound behind him, and Su Bodhi quickly chased after him.

"Senior brother, I have something to say to you, this is related to the path you want to seek, I wonder if Senior Brother is willing to hear it?"

"Naturally, otherwise I wouldn't have deliberately waited for you here, but I'm no longer your senior brother, and we're friends." Jin Cicada nodded.

"This is very good, the brother listened to me, and I think that what my brother said today is very clear, and I think it is true, and I want to help my brother." Subodhi said with a smile.

"Oh? Help me? In this regard, Jin Chanzi obviously did not expect it.

"That's right, with one hand, my brother has high ambitions but the road ahead is unpredictable, so naturally he needs to be accompanied by like-minded people, and I happen to have a few suitable candidates here, and my senior brother can get married to them when he is reincarnated!"

"That's very good."

I have to say that Su Bodhi's "help" really helped Jin Chanzi's heart, and he himself knows very well that it will be difficult to reach the end of the avenue by himself.

Therefore, he already had the idea of meeting like-minded people in reincarnation, and now that Su Bodhi has sent a candidate, of course he wants to see it.

"Little white dragon, canopy, roller blinds...... Monkey king? However, even if he was mentally prepared, when Jin Chanzi saw these candidates, he couldn't help frowning.

He has heard of these deeds, and I have to say that he is really a "thorn in the head".

Especially the last one, making a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace...... Hehe, it's really his appetite, and the corners of his mouth can't help but smile.

"Su Bodhi, if I'm not mistaken, this Monkey King should be your disciple, you are looking for me this time, it won't be for me to help you save him, right?" Jin Chanzi asked directly.

"Hehe, although this monkey is my disciple, it is only a pseudonym, and it can't be counted, and I have already told me not to say that I am his master outside." Subodhi shook his head.

"Because of this, his life and death have nothing to do with me, but it is a great help to you, brother, isn't it?"

"Hmmm......"

Jin Chanzi thought for a moment and felt that this was indeed the case, so he didn't say anything more, but silently imprinted this list in his mind.

"Since that's the case, then thank you, now that my golden body is gone, the fruit position is no more, it's not good to continue to stay in this spiritual mountain, so I'll leave."

After speaking, the golden cicada turned around and left, turning into a streamer of light and heading straight to the underworld, about to re-enter the reincarnation.

Looking at his back, Su Bodhi smiled slightly, and then bowed down and said:

"I hope my brother is going well, the road is ...... Prove! ”

Some people may have doubts about this chapter, but I can only say, don't rush to conclusions.
