Zhou Sheng's hand penetrated the old monk's chest, and then took it back lightly, and it was clean and clean, without a trace of blood. And the old monk's chest is also intact.

The old monk looked at his chest and was very puzzled, weishenme did not bleed. He looked up at Zhou Sheng and asked puzzledly, "Weishenme?"

Zhou Sheng glanced at him, with some pity, and sighed: "You don't even know who you are, and you are still talking to me about Buddhism here, it's sad." You're not human, you're different from me, don't you understand, maybe it's you...... I don't want to understand ...... at all."

"You're just a ...... The shadow, the shadow of a person, can only live in this cage".

The old monk in front of Zhou Sheng is a shadow, through the flame of the oil lamp, the two of them have only one shadow, and behind the old monk, there is no shadow.

As soon as Zhou Sheng came in, he didn't find popularity at all. I talked to him and confirmed the matter even more.

The old monk's face suddenly turned hideous, without the kindness and indifference just now, and roared angrily at Zhou Sheng: "No, you are nonsense, I am a human being, I am a living person, my name is Liansheng Thirty-six, I was born to step on the black lotus ......."

Zhou Sheng sneered, "I'm talking nonsense? Then let me ask you, do you have parents, do you have a childhood, where do you come from? Do you have friends, do you have brothers and sisters? Can you go out of this hall, can you appear in the daytime? Perhaps, in your view of shijie, there is only night, and there is no concept of day......

The old monk slapped his head dejectedly, and he had been living here since he was conscious. He didn't know who he was, only his name, Lotus Thirty-Six, and he didn't know anything but this.

He can only exist at night, and every night, a little monk will light an oil lamp, and he will appear. He didn't know the shijie outside, and he could only read a few Buddhist scriptures.

After a long time, he forgot about this problem, and was no longer confused: where did I come from, where did I go, I weishenme existed.

He was very happy to see a young man who came tonight. He hadn't spoken for a long time, he was eager to talk to people, the last time he spoke was with the little monk who lit the lamp, he said something in the little monk's ear, when he saw the little monk shouting, 'Ghost', and ran away.

This made him very confused, weishenme little monk is not willing to talk to himself?

......

The young man spoke to him tonight and he was excited. The young man asked him questions, and he racked his brains to give him answers. However, he read too few Buddhist scriptures, and he didn't know how to answer, so he could only try his best to copy a few sentences from the Buddhist scriptures as answers.

Zhou Sheng's fingers flicked the flame of the oil lamp, and the old monk's body immediately became unstable, and layers of ripples appeared, just like the reflection on the water surface, throwing a small stone into it, and the ripples appeared.

Zhou Sheng said lightly: "Lotus is thirty-six, the ascetic is a great power of Buddhism, and the Buddha Lord sits down as one of the three living Buddhas, and cultivates to become a saint." He is the author of "Mida Sutra" and "Great Zen Sutra" ......".

"I have read his works, they are well written, and their cognition of heaven, earth and the universe, and their thinking about human nature have reached a deep level of understanding......

Many years ago, Lotus was born barefoot, walking the heavens and the earth, thinking about all beings. He walked to the academy and saw the carving of the Buddha, and suddenly realized that he retreated for three years, without eating or drinking. Three years later, one morning, he became a saint, broke away from the realm of human beings, and became a living Buddha in the world.

Sitting here all year round, the shadow behind him is reflected on the wall. When the lotus was born and became a saint, it transcended everything, and this shadow remained here.

Buddha, there is no shadow, because it is a great realm, and everything you think and think is different......

......

The old monk's eyes were glazed and he kept roaring.

"I am a shadow, I am just a shadow of a person, a substitute for something or nothing. weishenme, I'm a shadow?"

"Stop howling, what's wrong with the shadow, it's not bad to be a shadow......"

"No, you don't understand, you don't know the feelings of a shadow, it's enough to have only one lotus in the world, and weishenme still wants me to exist. No, I'm going to swallow the Lotus Birth, and I am the Lotus Birth Thirty-Six......"

Zhou Sheng shook his head, this shadow is completely crazy, but no one can stand it. You've lived for decades, and one day you've been told that you're just a shadow and that your mother has thrown you away.

"You're jealous, you're jealous of Lotus Sheng. Although you swallowed Liansheng and robbed him of his cultivation, you may be able to become a sage, but Liansheng's thirty-six slap can slap you to death, although the two of you are also relatives, but as long as you dare to trouble him, the bald man will definitely not show mercy......"

"No, I don't want to be a Sage. I just want to be a human being, to be a flesh and blood person. Instead of this empty body, I want to try what it's like to be human......"

Shadow put his hand into his chest, trying to pull out his heart to take a look, but it was hollow, he didn't even have a heart.

"Do you see, this is the pathetic of the shadow, I don't even have a body. I can't eat, I can't drink water, I want to try it".

The shadow cried, but there were no tears, he had no such thing as a lacrimal gland.

......

Zhou Sheng's face was sad, "It's really pitiful!"

He looked down at his shadow, patted his palm on it, and said with a smile: "When I become a saint, I will separate you." When the time comes, I will get you a shell, it won't be like this shadow in front of you, thrown away by his mother, and the motherless child is bitter, and he is about to become mentally ill......"

Zhou Sheng stared at the crying shadow and said lightly: "It's impossible to find your mother, I don't even know where he is, maybe he has run away to outer space." If you want to leave, I can help you out......"

The shadow was stunned suddenly, stared at Zhou Sheng tightly, and said in a dry voice: "Can you take me away?" You must know that I am formed here, which is equivalent to the womb of a pregnant woman, and an umbilical cord locks me here, and I can't get out!"

"Meaningless, I'll just cut the umbilical cord."

Zhou Shenghua turned his palm into a knife, and slashed horizontally at the void between the shadow and the earth wall behind him. There was no sound, but in my head I felt that something was broken.

With a "snap", the bond shattered.

The shadow fluctuated violently, a sign that it was about to dissipate. It is because of the connection with the wall that he can exist. Now the contact is cut off, it's like a premature birth, and I'm going to have a miscarriage!

"Definitely!"

Zhou Sheng's mouth was full of golden lotus, and he blew a breath of white air to fix the shadow. With a move of his hand, he coincides with his own shadow.

"Let's go, I'll take you outside to see Daqian shijie, you are also my number one thug, and when I open the dynasty, I will also get you a national teacher as a ......"

The Lotus Shadow has no attack power, but after all, it is the shadow of the Sage who becomes a spirit, and when his mind is opened, he will be able to understand the Buddhist scriptures at all, and his cultivation will gradually improve, and the spiritual light and Buddha nature in his mind will not be extinguished. However, this kind of life, no matter how high the cultivation is, is just a vague black shadow, not a divine soul, and it cannot take away people and be reborn.

......

......

Under the illumination of the moonlight, the shadow behind him was a little hypertrophied, which was not in harmony with Zhou Sheng's forehead. And Zhou Sheng's body is not moving, and your shadow keeps twisting and twisting, looking around at this shijie scene.

"This is Shijie outside.,It's really wide.,What kind of creature is that?,Why is it so strange......"

The shadow behind him pointed to a wild cat and shouted, in the Buddha hall, how could there be such a thing as a cat.

Zhou Sheng walked a few more places, and he didn't encounter anything unusual. I couldn't help but leave the academy and prepare to go shopping on the street.

Now the central street is lively, with red lanterns hanging high on both sides, and there is a lot of laughter and conversation. Maybe it's because the dark night always gives people a feeling of trustworthiness, and at night, many lazy people with that thing in their brains jumped into the green building with their trouser belts.

The two big red lanterns in front of the green building are festive when they look at it.

There are also those that sell supper, which is most suitable for eating bacon in winter. The bacon is cut into thin slices and brushed in a hot pot that is boiled white in a thick soup, and the meat is cooked, and the aroma can make people bite off their tongues. It would be even better to have some greens, and it is still a little difficult for ordinary people to supplement vitamins in winter, after all, no one eats trees directly like Zhou Sheng.

Smelling the hot steam, Zhou Sheng's appetite was hooked.

found a stall, Zhou Sheng asked for a hot pot and drank some wine. The sake is made by the store itself, and the degree is not high, but it warms the stomach.

Zhou Sheng held a glass of wine and said to the shadow behind him, "Do you want to have some?"

"I can't eat, but I can smell it."

"That's good"

Zhou Sheng sprinkled the pale yellow liquor on the shadow, and it seemed that he could see a pitch-black shadow towering his nostrils......

The shopkeeper who was napping there next to him saw Zhou Sheng spilling the wine on the ground, and he was not happy, so he got up and said, "Guest officer, why did you spill the wine......?"

"Haha, the wine is good, it's boring for me to drink alone, give me a shadow to taste......"

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes, this man is insane, can the shadow still drink? Copying his hands back, anyway, others are not bad for his food, there is no need to offend customers, and he also hopes that the more customers like this, the better, and the wine will sell quickly.

After eating a few bowls of wine, Zhou Sheng rushed to the central street, ready to go to the palace to have a look.
