Chapter 198: There Are also factions within Buddhism?
Under the gaze of Jiang Liu, an old man, wearing a gray-white shabby monk's robe, with some torn shoes under his feet, holding a wooden branch as a cane, walked towards this side step by step, but there was not a single incense scar on his bare head.
It looks like this old man has been in his sixtieth year, but he is in good spirits, and his body can't see the feeling of rickets at all.
"Is this an old monk!?" Looking at the old monk who came over, Jiang Liu's brows raised slightly.
Judging from the other party's dress, it is indeed a monk who is not wrong, the monk's clothes and shoes, and a string of wooden beads hanging around his neck, but there is no incense scar on his bare head, which does not seem to be the identity of a monk?
"Amitabha, hello...... old monk walked over, clasped his palms together, and after saluting Jiang Feng, he opened his mouth to greet him.
"Amitabha, Master, hello!" Jiang Liu also clasped his palms together and returned the salute.
Jiang Liu looked at the old man, and then looked at the surrounding dark environment, it was the middle of the night, and said in surprise: "Master, this Chinese New Year's Eve night, it's the middle of the night again, why are you walking alone?"
"Traveling all over the world, the four seas are home, where is not home? What is the difference between inside and outside?" replied to the river.
"Then I don't know where you're going, Master?" After a slight pause, thinking that the old monk was still walking alone in the wild in the middle of the night, Jiang Liu asked again.
"From where you came from, where you are going!" clasped his palms together, and the old monk whispered again.
"......" Jiang Liu secretly rolled his eyes at the old monk's Zen words.
Although these words sound like they don't feel like they are very powerful, in fact, they are completely good, right?
"Amitabha, I don't know where you're going?" However, after the words fell, the old monk asked rhetorically.
"I've come from everywhere, I'm going to go everywhere!" Jiang Liu replied to the old monk's inquiry.
"Hahaha, it's interesting......" Hearing Jiang Liu's answer, the old monk suddenly laughed.
"Master, since you are busy on the road, I won't bother much, please!" and this old monk who suddenly appeared seemed to have nothing to talk about, and he couldn't talk together, Jiang Liu said.
"No, meeting is fate, this Chinese New Year's Eve, it's already time, and in a moment it will be the new year, how about you and the old man and me cross the New Year together?" I see that you are also alone!" shook his head, the old monk was not in a hurry to leave.
"You're wrong, I'm not alone, you see, I still have a few apprentices over there!" Jiang Liu shook his head at the old monk's words, and pointed to Sun Wukong, who was playing mahjong on the other side.
"Since you are not alone, then why are you here alone?" the old monk glanced at Sun Wukong not far away, and asked Jiang Liu with a calm expression.
A square table, Sun Wukong is short and thin, Zhu Bajie is fat, and Sha Wujing is like a little giant, maybe only the human form of a white dragon horse, a handsome boy dressed in white.
However, the old monk glanced at them, and his expression was calm, not afraid at all?
This made Jiang Liu's heart move.
"It's just that I've been sitting for a long time, so I'm just here to breathe alone!" Jiang Liu replied quietly, and at the same time his eyes fell on the old monk, and he silently recited in his heart: Character layout.
Immediately, a translucent character layout appeared in front of Jiang Liu, looking at the character layout in front of him, Jiang Liu's heart was secretly surprised.
ID: Mysterious Old Monk (Golden).
Gender: Male.
Occupation:?.
Grade: 88.
......
"Hiss!" Looking at the character layout of this mysterious old monk, Jiang Liu's heart couldn't help but gasp.
Level 88!?A level higher than Monkey King!
And it's also the name of the golden boss page?This mysterious old monk is self-evident.
In terms of level, this is the existence of the Da Luo Jin Immortal level, right? And it is also the best among the Da Luo Jin Immortals!
A big guy who belongs to the best in Da Luo Jin Immortal, pretending to be an old monk who is not good-looking, came to chat with him!?
Could it be that Buddhism feels that his recent actions are a bit abnormal, so he wants to test himself!?
As soon as he thought of this, Jiang Liu's heart was much more cautious and cautious.
"By the way, little monk, what do you call it? After chatting for a while, I don't know your Dharma name!" the old monk asked Jiang Liu.
"Amitabha, Master, my Dharma name is Xuanzang, I don't know what you call it?" Jiang Liu replied, asking rhetorically.
"You can also see that I don't even have a ring scar, so I can't be considered a real monk, but I admire Buddhism, and I have been practicing Buddhism for many years!" Pointing to his bare, no-ring head, the old monk replied.
As soon as he said this, he paused slightly, and then looked at Jiang Liu with some expectation in his eyes, and said, "I don't know, little monk, do you think I can become a Buddha by doing this?"
"Cultivating Buddha, in fact, cultivating one's own mind, and the scar is just a form, as long as there is a Buddha in the heart, where is not the practice? Master, although you don't have a scar, but you can practice for so many years, which makes me admire!" Jiang Liu opened his mouth and replied with a serious expression.
"Well, it makes sense, cultivating Buddha is actually cultivating the mind, as long as there is a Buddha in your heart!" nodded, the old monk was obviously very satisfied with Jiang Liu's answer.
Immediately, he asked curiously: "So, I don't know what is the purpose of your cultivation of Buddha, little monk?"
"Can I say that I don't really want to be a monk at all?" The old monk's inquiry made Jiang Liu's heart secretly complain.
Of course, it is impossible to say such words, Jiang Liu's expression is still serious, and he said: "The purpose of my cultivation of Buddhism is naturally to purify all sentient beings, save sentient beings on the other side, and promote the Dharma......
It's a bit like the feeling of dealing with the inspection of the leader above, Jiang Liu said that he was a little impassioned, just like an employee in the company in his previous life, shouting loudly to give everything he had for the company and dedicate everything he had.
"Yes, yes, this answer is very good, although you have different hearts, but, no matter who you face in the future, you should answer like this!" nodded with a satisfied expression, and the old monk spoke.
"Ah!?Master, what do you mean by that? How can I have a different heart!?"
With an impassioned appearance, Jiang Liu couldn't wait to shout out the words of the oath in his previous life, but the words of the old monk were poured down like a basin of ice water, making Jiang Liu feel cold from the inside out.
"Amitabha, I have practiced for many years, and I have a magical power, called his heart channel, although I can't fully understand what the other party is thinking in his heart, but I can still feel one or two in general!" Looking at Jiang Liu's denial, the old monk smiled slightly and said.
"Is he mentally proficient?mind-reading??
"Well, it seems that you really have a lot of secrets!" the old monk said in a low voice, as if he could roughly feel the tension and precaution of Jiang Liu.
"Who the hell are you!?" At this point, Jiang Liu didn't have the heart to continue pretending, and asked seriously by staring at the old monk.
"You are very smart, and you have some strange methods, which is very good!" The old monk did not mean to confess, but just nodded slightly at Jiang Liu with a look of appreciation and satisfaction.
As he spoke, the old monk seemed to know what he should have known, and after looking at the sky, he said: "Okay, the time has passed, and it's a new day, a new year, I hope you can have a good new year!"
"Thank you, Master, and I also congratulate Master on everything going well!" nodded his head, and Jiang Liu also opened his mouth to congratulate.
"Alas, the way of heaven is ruthless, the immortals and Buddhas are unrighteous, so that all living beings are suffering, the Jinghe Dragon King is a sacrificed chess piece, since it has fallen into your hands, I hope you will treat him well!" After nodding slightly, the old monk spoke again, and sighed with a sad look.
"Jinghe Dragon King!?He knows that Jinghe Dragon King is in my hands!?"
These words really shocked Jiang Liu, and just as he was about to ask about the identity of the old monk again, he found that the other party had already drifted away.
The Dragon King of Jinghe, which can be said to be the cause of the westward journey to learn scriptures, asked Sun Wukong to bring the Dragon King of Jinghe out of the underworld, in order not to let Guanyin know that he did all this, and even led the drama of the real and false Monkey King with Sun Wukong, and successfully deceived her.
However, who is this old monk!? How can he be sure that the Dragon King of Jinghe is in his hands!?
Realizing that this secret was known by others, Jiang Liu's heart was naturally nervous.
However, after a while, after the mood calmed down, I felt that I had gained a lot.
This old monk doesn't say who it is, since he knows about the Jinghe Dragon King, but he doesn't reveal what he means, it seems that he and Guanyin, or even Rulai, are not on the same rope?
Since he appeared in front of him as a monk, this old monk is obviously also a member of Buddhism, right?
"Could it be that this Buddhism is not monolithic?
Moreover, I deliberately chose a New Year's Eve to meet with myself and keep the New Year together, and even said some words of congratulations.
Obviously, the old monk was expressing kindness, and he didn't look embarrassed by himself.
"The level of Da Luo Jin Immortal, level 88, a person in the Buddhist sect, still knows the affairs of the Jinghe Dragon King very clearly?"
Jiang Liu thought to himself in his heart, and according to this known information, he also had some guesses about the identity of this old monk in his heart.
