Hearing Master Huishan say, "Don't cultivate immortality," Pan Long couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Didn't Master just say that the Buddha created the path of merit to save others?

Master Huishan smiled: "In this way, I'll explain it in detail for the donor." ”

As soon as he raised his hand, a streamer of light appeared in his palm, turning into a cloud of phantoms, varying in light and dark.

"Sentient beings live in the world, either by doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, or by doing evil deeds and accumulating karma. Whether it is good or evil, at the end of a lifetime, there will always be a time to settle. ”

The phantoms sank as if they were under water.

"The great evil one falls into hell, but the great good one lives in paradise. The golden mean may dissipate in heaven and earth, or be reincarnated. ”

The phantoms gradually changed, some sank into invisible places, some flew into a cloud of clear light, and some changed color and floated again.

"Merit is a ticket to the promised land, or an armor to protect the soul from dissipating. ”

Pan Long frowned slightly, and asked, "According to this, if you are a great traitor, wouldn't you be able to get benefits?"

Master Huishan smiled and shook his head: "The Paradise is not born, but it is forged by the great virtues and holy monks of Buddhism with merit and willingness, so that they can protect their souls and enjoy peace." Hell is the creation of heaven and earth, where the evil spirits suffer, and it will be eternal until it is broken, and there will be no rest for a moment. ”

He paused for a moment and continued: "The so-called 'saving people' in my merit school actually refers to the process of accumulating merit and increasing and perfecting the paradise of monks throughout the ages. The more perfect the Promised Land, the more it can shelter the common people. Sooner or later, all good beings in the world will be able to go to the Promised Land to enjoy peace after death. ”

Pan Long nodded again and again and asked, "Will the kind beings enjoy peace forever in the Promised Land?"

"Of course not, living in the Promised Land also requires the consumption of merit. When the merit is consumed to a certain extent, you cannot stay in the Paradise and can only return to the mortal world to continue your reincarnation. Master Huishan smiled and said, "My path of merit, to put it bluntly, is to make merit an indispensable necessity for all sentient beings, to inspire everyone to work hard to do good, and ultimately to make the whole world a better place." ”

Master Ciming smiled and said, "That's why I said that all other cultivation methods are to save ourselves, but only our merit method is to save others and save the common people!"

As he spoke, the thin monk showed some pride, apparently very proud of the method he had practiced.

Pan Long smiled and nodded.

Although the teacher Bi Lingkong had already told him about the situation of the three sects of Buddhism, listening to the teacher's introduction and listening to the people in Buddhism told him, the perspective was different, and the artistic conception was completely different.

In the eyes of the teacher, the three sects of Buddhism are just ordinary cultivation sects, and the so-called "merit to the world" is nothing more than self-deception, fooling the people in the world into daydreaming together.

But from the perspective of these two meritorious monks, since sentient beings cannot be detached, what is the harm of being able to daydream and be able to do good deeds and accumulate virtue for the sake of daydreaming?

There are many hardships for sentient beings, and there are many difficulties in the world, so why not be able to take two breaths between the sufferings of life and life, and have a beautiful daydream?

Thinking of this, his heart suddenly moved.

(This path of merit is supposed to flourish in the world, but what is hindering its spread?)

He secretly calculated...... Could it be because most of the cultivators in the world don't want to be born?

Or is it because Buddhism has been restricted by the Great Xia court?

These questions will have to wait for the future to find the answers.

The small episode did not affect the implementation of Pan Long's plan, and after a small chat with the two masters, he successfully learned the means of using merit instead of mana to exert supernatural powers.

This method is also very simple, it does not require a dharma instrument or a mantra, it is to visualize the Pure Land of Buddhism suspended outside the earthly world, and then send merit into the Pure Land, and naturally there will be mana to follow.

The end is cash spot, and Tong Su is not deceived.

After Pan Long learned this method, he said goodbye to the two eminent monks. After he left, when Master Ciming closed the door, he found that there was a large bag of broken silver behind the door. Looking at the new appearance of the silver gap and the finger marks on the silver bar, it is clear that it is still a complete silver ingot just now.

The two poor monks looked at each other helplessly, and Master Huishan sighed and said, "This money ...... Just buy some cotton and fill the bedding for the nearby folks. ”

They didn't know that Pan Long, who had already walked out for dozens of feet and turned around the corner of an alley, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a smile.

Seeing that it was getting late, Pan Long was not in a hurry to find trouble with the Zeng family's pharmacy, so he stayed first.

The town is not very large, and the shops are almost all concentrated on either side of a main road that runs through the city. The inn where Pan Long lives is about thirty zhang away from the Zeng's pharmacy in a straight line - almost the same as a football field.

For Pan Long, as long as he is willing, the voice of anyone in the Zeng family's pharmacy can be heard clearly.

In fact, he's really eavesdropping on what's going on over there.

It was about midnight (a little more than 1 o'clock in the morning), and the husband had already started to play the fourth watch, when he suddenly heard a voice coming from the Zeng family's pharmacy.

"Brother Fourteen, it's time to get up. Today the 'white goods' passed by us, and we are going to escort them!"

"Huh? right...... Hmm, let me take a break, I'm a little dizzy......"

"What's wrong with you? Drank too much yesterday?"

"Yes, I drank so much yesterday that I forgot that I had something to do today. It's nothing, I just wash my hair with cold water. ”

Soon, there was the sound of water from the well in the courtyard, and then there was a bang. Then I heard the somewhat confused voice from before become clear: "Okay, I'm awake." Are you all set?"

"It's all ready, I've told the shopkeeper that in the past few days of our absence, we will give in to everything, and endure the big troubles, and wait for us to come back." ”

“...... Nineteen, you're just too careful. How many times have our Zeng family been in Youzhou for so many years, how many times have we ever encountered trouble? If we don't go to find trouble with others, they should be thankful, who dares to find trouble with us!"

"Anyway, it's not a big mistake to be careful, I'm always a little frightened during this time, and I don't know why......"

"Okay, okay, don't be suspicious. Those of us who practice martial arts must have a courage, and when the sky falls, we will cut it to pieces!

"I think if the naivety really falls, we'll be smashed directly......"

"Alas, Uncle Seven is such a brave person, why don't you inherit his courage at all?"

"Before she died, my mother told me that survival is the most important thing. My father was too brave and fierce, and he died at a young age. ”

“...... Early in the morning, don't talk about that. When you get to the place, you are responsible for transporting the goods, and I am responsible for opening the road. When I come back from my errand, I'm going to sleep for three days!"

Pan Long frowned slightly when he heard this, not knowing what these two Zeng family masters wanted to do.

After a while, the two went out the back door of the pharmacy. Pan Long waited for about half an hour, then put a small piece of broken silver on the table, then pushed open the window and jumped into the sky, quietly chasing after him.
