"I wanted to use your Buddha nature to see if I could suppress that old thing, even if I didn't have a bet with that madman, I would find a chance to bring you down. Now it's just right that the bet has been completed. ”

The Emperor turned around, and the glowing eyes disappeared in front of Li Zhiyi.

"Who will the senior Shi take me to see?" Li Zhiyi clasped his hands together, feeling that the emperor had already walked away, and hurriedly followed quickly, and immediately asked.

The Emperor paused again, and his voice changed, a little less gentle, a little more cold.

"An old youkai, an old youkai stronger than me. ”

Before Li Zhiyi could answer, the Emperor sighed, and there was a little more helplessness in his voice.

"If the master doesn't want to, you don't have to go down. ”

The dark corridor suddenly fell silent, so quiet that only two breaths could be heard.

One of the breaths turned into a long sigh.

"Human nature, I'll send the master out!"

The Emperor turned around and looked at Li Zhiyi.

Li Zhiyi didn't answer his question, and was silent for a while instead said: "This should be a demon, and it's a big devil." It's a demon, it's a demon, it can only be a blood demon. ”

"Not bad. ”

"The donor knows that I, ah, am a rebel from Buddhism. is still the elder of the Blood Buddha Mountain Precept Hall, the Blood Buddha is not a Buddha, but a demon. ”

Li Zhiyi said this very calmly, as if he was telling someone else's story.

"Does the master know about black cats?" the Emperor thought for a moment and asked rhetorically.

"Naturally, I know that in folk rumors, the black cat is ominous and evil. Li Zhiyi frowned, although he didn't know what the emperor meant, but he continued to say: "But in fact, this black cat is the spiritual creature that suppresses evil spirits, and it is only because it often appears in places where there are evil spirits that it is mistaken for ...... by ordinary people."

Li Zhiyi was halfway through speaking, stood in place, stunned for a moment, and his voice suddenly became smaller.

"Thank you. ”

"The master is willing to be like a black cat, walking in the night, in the name of evil, doing evil deeds. ”

"I wish to go!" Li Zhiyi's hearty laughter came.

......

The further down you go, the stronger that sense of oppression becomes.

A hundred-year-old dark room, today suddenly brightened. This is an ice room, the floor and bricks are made of ice, and the whole ice room emits a green light, which looks a little strange.

Although it was an ice room, Li Zhiyi didn't feel cold, he just felt nauseous.

In the four corners of the ice room, four clusters of green fires burned. In the middle of the ice room, there is a red pool, and above the pool, a red iron block is suspended on it.

Li Zhiyi stood there and closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, his eyes turned red.

He was in a sea of blood, and the smell of his nose made it impossible for him to discern whether it was a fantasy or a reality.

But what about the unreal, and what about the real?

The emperor looked at Li Zhiyi, who was standing in place with his eyes closed, and wanted to wake him up, but his hand was hanging over Li Zhiyi's shoulder.

"Little thing, don't you just want to find someone to discuss the Fa with me? Over the years, you have sent a lot of great monks to add food to me. Why, this monk has fine skin and tender meat, and he can't bear it?"

The emperor didn't want to show his cowardice in front of this old guy, and he could only choose to believe Li Zhiyi, so he retracted his hand and sat on the steps.

Li Zhiyi frowned, and then a smile appeared on his face, allowing the red blood to flow over his body.

Seeing that it was about to drown over his head, Li Zhiyi shook his head and said, "Like a dream bubble, like electricity and dew." ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Zhiyi sat in the boat, and the boat continued to float in the sea of blood, swaying and swinging with the wind.

His white clothes had long since turned red, but his face was still calm.

"Little monk, so-so. The monks who had come here saw the sea of blood and made a loud noise, scolded, and threatened to kill the demon, but Lao Tzu couldn't hear these words the most, so he slaughtered them directly. The voice was as long as a thread, and at the same time as sharp as a needle for a woman to mend her clothes.

"It's just blood. Li Zhiyi said lightly.

There was also blood everywhere on the Blood Buddha Mountain, but it still couldn't affect their worship of the Buddha.

"Being in the sea of blood, how can he worship the Buddha?" The sharp voice sounded again, Li Zhiyi just smiled faintly, and asked instead, "Where is the Buddha?"

"I came as a high monk, but I didn't expect it to be a stupid monk. "A small bat appeared in the sea of blood, and at the foot of the bat, there was actually a blood lotus. "You are a Buddha cultivator, but instead ask me where the Buddha is? Lao Tzu thinks that there is no Buddha, only me. ”

Li Zhi nodded, his voice was still gentle, and a smile appeared on his face.

"It turns out that you also practice Buddhism!"

"Lao Tzu cultivates that thing very much! The person who knows himself best is usually his opponent; Lao Tzu's biggest opponent is the Buddhas in this world! Naturally, he knows his set, and the greatest pleasure of Lao Tzu being pressed in this ghost place is to find someone to discuss the Fa, and if he loses, there is only one end!"

"When Lian was not born, what was it?" The sharp voice seemed to be interested, and wanted to catch Li Zhiyi off guard, so he asked directly.

"Lotus!"

"Then what was it when I was not born?" There have been many monks who have been fortunate enough to come to this level and hear this question.

When the lotus is not born, it is a "lotus", and when "I" is not born, it is naturally "me", but if you stand in the perspective of the person being asked, you will naturally answer "you". However, this question, answering you or me, is actually wrong, if this question is happening outside, this answer is correct. But at this time, it is in the illusory sea of blood, where do you and I come from? This is where the old bat is cunning.

The bat stared at Li Zhiyi with a pair of blood-red eyes, only to see Li Zhiyi stretch out three fingers.

"You learn the Tao?"

"Definitely. ”

"Then why did you stick out three fingers?" The bat asked hurriedly.

"Then you're also a cultivator?"

"It's not. The bat unconsciously followed Li Zhiyi's rhythm.

"That's it. When the bat heard Li Zhiyi's words, he was silent, and could only change the question.

"What is a Buddha?"

Li Zhiyi pointed upward, downward, to himself, and then to the bat.

"I'm the Blood Demon Ancestor, am I your Buddha?"

"You are my Buddha, I am also your Buddha, Buddha, everywhere, Buddha, everything is empty. Where the heart goes, it is where the Buddha country is, and the heart belongs to you and me, then you and I are the Buddha. Li Zhiyi was still gentle, and the voice of this Blood Demon Ancestor was like a storm, like a big bead and a small bead falling on a plate, eager and noisy.

"Land of Bliss, what is there?"

"Nothing. ”

"That's what the scriptures say?" the Blood Demon Ancestor sneered and asked.

"'And Sariputta. Land of Elysium, Sevenfold Column, Sevenfold Net,

The sevenfold row of trees is surrounded by the four treasures, which is why it is called Bliss. The Buddhist scriptures say so, but the Buddhist scriptures also say that all dharmas are empty, like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows. ”

"Hmph!" The Blood Demon Ancestor snorted coldly, and immediately said, "Since this is the case, life and death are empty, and Lao Tzu will kill you!" As he spoke, a giant claw fell from the sky and grabbed towards Li Zhiyi.

Li Zhiyi closed his eyes and stood up tremblingly from the boat swaying in the wind. After standing up, his feet seemed to be glued to the boat, and he did not move at all, calm and calm.

"Then if I put down the butcher's knife, can I become a Buddha on the spot?"

The claw didn't come down, and stopped an inch on Li Zhiyi's forehead.

Li Zhiyi opened his eyes, looked at the soft-eyed Blood Demon Ancestor, and shook his head.

"No, killing so many creatures and contaminating so many causes and effects is not like putting down the butcher's knife to cut off cause and effect. ”

"In that case, what's the use of me putting down the butcher's knife and believing in Buddhism?"

"Face the cause and effect. ”

"In that case, why do Buddhists have this sentence?"

"If you ask, it means that you haven't really let go. ”

"What do you want me to put down?" the Blood Demon Ancestor seemed to have seized the loophole and hurriedly asked.

"I don't want to. ”

The Blood Demon Ancestor was originally just a little anxious, but at this time, he became irritable.

"Do you want me to let go of my obsession? Is it your obsession to let me let go of my obsession?"

Li Zhiyi smiled slightly, his hand was in the form of a flower, and he did not answer.

"Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground. It is said that there is a great power, and the cultivation has reached the realm of Buddhahood, but the number of Buddhas is limited, so they cannot become Buddhas. He walked up to the Buddha with a sword and asked him how he could become a Buddha. The Buddha replied to him that if he killed a Buddha, he would be able to replace him. ”

When the powerful man heard this, he thought about it for a long time, and finally raised his knife, then threw it heavily, and said, 'This is not a true Buddha, and I should not be a fake Buddha.' As soon as the words fell, seven rainbows appeared in the sky, and bursts of Sanskrit sounds sounded, and there was one more Buddha in the world. ”

"Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground. What you let go of is your obsession, and what you achieve is your own Buddha. ”

Li Zhiyi looked at the Blood Demon Ancestor, whose lips were buzzing, and his emotions seemed to be a little wrong, and said lightly.

"Since it's not your obsession to persuade me, then I'll continue to kill people!" If the law doesn't work, the Blood Demon Ancestor began to play tricks and threats, and Daode kidnapped Li Zhiyi.

"Yes, you can kill it!"

He didn't expect that Li Zhiyi's answer would be so crisp.

"Are you a disciple of the Buddha Sect?" the Blood Demon Ancestor lost, but he still asked the question in his heart.

"Then do you know what Buddha, Taoism, and Confucianism practice?" Li Zhiyi asked rhetorically.

The Blood Demon Ancestor shook his head.

"Confucianism cultivates the world, Buddhism cultivates me, and Taoism cultivates nature. ”

"The good self is the heart, the true self. I knew in my heart that I couldn't save the world, so if I didn't save it, the monks couldn't speak. ”

The Blood Demon Ancestor looked at Li Zhiyi viciously, and with a wave of his hand, Li Zhiyi's eyes were dark. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was still standing there.

The anxious Emperor saw Li Zhiyi open his eyes, and a smile appeared on his face!

......

And Li Zhiyi, who opened his eyes, looked at the blood pool at first glance, or the iron on the blood pool.

"This is the Iron of the Dead God!" the Emperor introduced.

......

And a little bit of a tail.
