274 Greed and hatred
In the hall, Xuan Bei couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the disturbances and twists and turns outside.
After a while, he spoke to the old monks in the hall: "Senior brothers, what do you think of this loose cultivation called Qianyunsheng?"
Although the old monks were sitting indoors, in fact, their divine consciousness had already covered the mountain, and everything that happened in the field was extremely clear.
As an elder of the Discipline Hall, Xuan Nian naturally understood what Xuan Bei was worried about, and he also frowned:
"I thought that even if the qualifications of this casual cultivation were a little poor, if it was a good heart, it would be a talent that could be created. ”
"Therefore, I also agree with Senior Brother Xuanbei to open a thousand-step ladder for him alone. But I didn't expect this to be the result, and it's hard to do now. ”
Xuan Ku also nodded and said:
"According to your teachers and nephews, since this loose cultivation is willing to join my Leiyin Temple, it is indeed a dilemma, at least it can ensure that the immortal weapons of my temple will not be scattered outside the temple. ”
"But now this person's qualifications are so poor, even if Xuanben and Xuanwen junior disciples test that he has a good heart and extraordinary knowledge, he is still a big step away from the conditions for entering the temple!"
Xuan Jing asked Xuan Nian, "Is there any compromise between us?"
Before Xuan Nian could speak, Xuan Bei sighed lightly and said first:
"The poor monk is also worried about this matter, everyone knows that according to the agreement between our human ancestor and the spiritual ancestor, as long as the spiritual weapon gives birth to spiritual consciousness, unless it is a thing that has already recognized the master, it is no longer allowed to be detained and enslaved, and it must be left to its own choice. ”
"Now that this Question Bead has been born into spiritual consciousness, strictly speaking, we must treat it as an equal. ”
"Just like the many immortal weapons in the temple, as long as there is no thing that recognizes the Lord, we are taking advantage of its spiritual consciousness to be born and ignorant, and make a long appointment with it for my Leiyin Temple. ”
Before Xuan Bei finished speaking, Xuan Nian answered: "What Senior Brother Xuan Bei is worried about is exactly what I am worried about. Now, strictly speaking, since this heart bead has been promoted to an immortal weapon, it has the right to choose by itself. ”
"This is also the reason why every temple attaches so much importance to the immortal artifact tribulation!"
"You know, if this immortal weapon is successful in the tribulation, but is unwilling to enter into a long-term contract with our temple, it will not be a small loss to the temple, after all, our temple has also spent a lot of money to cultivate along the way. ”
Xuanjing nodded, and Amitabha said: "But fortunately, there has been no chaos so far, and we have successfully signed a long-term contract." ”
Xuan Nian also said to Amitabha Buddha: "So what Senior Brother Xuanjing asked, is there any way to treat this Qianyun Sheng, in my precept academy, it is really impossible to do it." ”
"As you know, this qualification for entry is a rule set by the first generation of our temple's ancestors, the Venerable Master. Its original intention was precisely because he was afraid that future generations of disciples would be unscrupulous, so he indiscriminately recruited some people with poor qualifications, which disturbed the purity of the temple. ”
"Therefore, for us, although it involves an immortal artifact now, the problem is indeed not small, but how can we arbitrarily change the rules for entering the temple set by our ancestors?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's brows tightened one after another.
Xuan Jing then simply asked: "This is not good, that is not good, then what is the best?
"Can't we just ignore the shame and leave this immortal weapon in the temple, right?"
Xuan Bei's face was not very good, and when he heard Xuan Jing's question, he could only say Amitabha:
"All of you have heard it just now, there is an agreement between the Human Ancestor and the Spirit Ancestor, even if we want to take action regardless of it, I'm afraid we won't be able to do it. ”
Xuan Ku also agreed with Xuan Bei's words and added:
"There are actually a lot of omissions in the agreement between this human ancestor and the spiritual ancestor, so we can take advantage of this loophole, and so far we have been able to smoothly leave all the immortal artifacts that have successfully crossed the tribulation in the temple. ”
"But my Lei Yin Temple family has a great cause, and I rashly made a move for this immortal weapon that has already recognized the master, once it is known to the spirit world, it is easy to become an excuse to crusade against us. In this way, it is really not worth it for me to wait for a fairy weapon now, and to make a rash move. ”
Xuan Ku said this, seeing that all the monks frowned slightly, he also sighed in his heart, and continued: "Everyone knows the situation outside recently, and recently, in addition to the demon world, the spirit world has also frequently disturbed our human world. ”
"In particular, this heart bead was in Xiaowan City, which can be said to be the attention of the world, and there is really no need for us to give them such a mouth at this time. ”
Xuan Jing listened to Xuan Ku's words, and snorted softly:
"You also have scruples, that scruples, then just let that loose cultivator go with the immortal weapon. Anyway, my Leiyin Temple family has a big business, and I don't care if there is one more immortal weapon or one less immortal weapon. ”
"You have to think clearly, even if I and other elders haven't managed to get a single immortal weapon in our hands, you are so willing to let this immortal weapon slip away from your eyes?"
"You must know that this loose cultivation qualification is not good, and it is very likely that he will die in one or two hundred years, and then we will be able to find a way to re-establish a long-term contract with this immortal weapon. ”
"It's only one or two hundred years, that is, you senior brothers are just closing a long pass!"
"Which is more important here, I don't need to explain it more, right?"
Xuan Bei listened to this straightforward statement, and responded with hard thought: "Senior Brother Xuanjing's concerns are exactly what I am worried about, so this is what we are extremely embarrassed about!"
"The worse his qualifications are, the less we should let him out of the monastery. But it's precisely because his qualifications are so poor that he can't be accepted into the temple, so what can he do?"
Xuan Bei was talking, only to see that outside the door of the hall, two old monks walked in together.
Xuan Bei looked at it, it turned out to be the two junior disciples of Xuan Wen and Xuan Ben, and hurriedly said: "Two junior brothers, how is the mental character of this loose cultivation measured?"
After Xuan Wen and Xuan Ben bowed to the monks together, Xuan Ben first said:
"Amitabha, Senior Brother Lao asked. Judging from the fact that I and Senior Brother Xuanwen shot together, although this casual cultivation is not qualified, its mind is indeed quite transparent. It seems that it is the result of mortal experience, and I have seen too much of the honor and disgrace of life and death, but I am more Buddha-minded. ”
Xuan Bei nodded, hearing such news, instead of being happy, he frowned even deeper.
Xuan Wen said to Amitabha Buddha on the side: "When we entered the hall just now, we listened to the arguments of your senior brothers. ”
"Your senior brothers' worries are indeed reasonable, but the little monk feels that this matter is not without a turnaround. ”
Xuan Bei knew that Xuan Wen was in charge of the Dharma Academy and had always been smart, so he asked in good spirits:
"What's the way?
Xuan asked, "Senior brother, do you remember that six hundred years ago, there was a seven-fingered head tuo who placed an order in this temple?"
Xuan Bei was stunned by Xuan Wen, and then thought about it for a while, and then nodded slowly:
"Well, I remember, there really is such a ......"
Immortal cultivators have excellent memory, and Xuan Wen saw that everyone had a thoughtful look, so he continued to say slowly:
"Nine hundred years ago, there was a seven-fingered head Tuo Xi in the East China Sea, who had been placing orders in my Leiyin Temple for more than 300 years, and during this period, he also created a special mastery of the Demon Finger of Hama Fu. ”
"It's a pity that this person later fell in an expedition to the small world of Huangquan, and left a will after his death, hoping that our temple will continue to pass on his mantle from generation to generation. ”
All the monks nodded their heads, remembering such an old event. Everyone couldn't help but secretly admire Xuanwen, and sure enough, the Damo Academy was the most knowledgeable in this regard, and it turned over such a dusty old thing.
Xuan Wen saw that all the monks had an impression of this matter, so he smiled and said: "But in the past six hundred years, this matter has not been done in the temple, but why?"
Xuanben is in charge of the Scripture Pavilion, and his knowledge is also very high, so he will also understand a general idea, and answered:
"This is because the cultivation conditions of this Hama Fu Demon Finger are extremely harsh, and it must be cultivated by a person with great intelligence like the Seven Fingers. ”
Xuan Wen nodded and said, "If it's just smart, our temple has received a lot of good talents over the years." ”
"But compared to those exercises that point directly to the Great Dao, although this Hama Fu Demon Finger is also considered a peerless study, it can't directly point to the Great Dao after all, and it is just a knowledge that needs to be perfected. ”
This is the reason why many disciples, although some of them are quite tempted by this fingering, still have no choice after all. ”
"As we all know, since this wise person chooses to join this temple, the first thing he often has to study is the scriptures of the three major towns and temples of this temple. ”
"You know, the scriptures of the three major towns and temples in this temple are also extremely voluminous, and even the white head is poor, and with great effort, I don't dare to say that I will be able to really study and understand one or two doors thoroughly, so how can I have time to study other unique studies?"
"Even among the elders here, there should have been a lot of people who were tempted by that mastery back then, but because they were limited to the fact that they were different from the exercises and mental methods of their own sect, they had no choice but to give up in the end, right?"
All the monks nodded, some of them had experienced these allusions, and some of them at least knew a rough idea. Today, being analyzed by Xuan Wen little by little, I couldn't help but make everyone a little suddenly realized.
Everyone understands that this wise person is a precious seedling in any sect, how can he not learn the fundamental method of his own sect and study the Dao, but instead inherit the method of another sect?
Although Xuan Wen didn't say anything, everyone actually knew it. Even if there are disciples in the sect who have such thoughts, I am afraid that under the deliberate guidance of the elders, they will know how to choose and give up.
In this way, didn't it cause the embarrassing situation of this mastery in the Leiyin Temple for six hundred years?
When Xuan Bei heard this, his eyes opened slightly, and he said in a deep voice:
"Xuan asked the junior brother to say, I will wait for the substitute teacher to accept the apprentice, and pass on this Hama Fu Demon Finger?"
