Chapter 444: Cutting the Cat
The younger generation is easy to be evil, and I have seen the host. ”
The person who came was Yi Zheng, who had left Yi Zheng and Gao Chengqing for a long time, and after some vague induction, he finally found that the person he was looking for was in the Ten Thousand Buddha Domain, and he ran to many wrong places in order to determine this, and this time he finally did not make any more mistakes.
It's just that he didn't expect that there would be a Zen Heart Consummation Monk next to the person he was looking for, although most of the strength of Buddhist cultivation is not as good as Taoist cultivation, but after all, it is equivalent to the realm of Yuanying Consummation, which is still much stronger than him in the middle stage of foundation building.
Yi Xie was a little irritable in his heart, he didn't like to call himself a junior, and he didn't like to use a fake honorific title. Whiskers never ask them to use honorific titles...... As soon as he thought of brushing his clothes, Yi Xie quickly diverted his attention and didn't think deeply.
He didn't want to remember his childhood, he didn't want to think of Fu Yi and Lin Unyielding taking them to run around in the mountains, letting them climb trees and go down the river, and play freely......
As soon as he thought of these past events, a place in his heart began to soften, and his instinct repelled this feeling, and now he just wanted to act according to his instinct.
"Xiaoyou is a guest from afar, if you don't dislike it, go to the courtyard and sit down. The host quickly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, took a smile and stretched out his hand to let him into the formation, leading him to the stone table in the courtyard and sitting down. "Is Xiaoyou seeking Buddhahood, or do you want to find a random place to listen to Buddhist scriptures?"
"Neither. Yi Xie didn't want to go around in circles with him, so he said bluntly, "I'm here to find someone." ”
"Oh, I wonder who the little friend is looking for?"
"You know who I'm looking for. ”
Yi Xie couldn't help but show a sneering smile on his face when he saw him trying to hide it, his induction would never go wrong, that person was nearby, but it seemed that there was something separated by a layer, it should be a formation or an enchantment.
He just didn't know what the man's name was or what he looked like, but he thought he was somewhat similar to him.
"You can stop it for a while, but you can't stop it for a lifetime. Yi Xie's eyes were firm, as if he would never leave if he didn't see anyone.
The host gradually calmed down, no longer panicked by his arrival, even if he couldn't stop him for a lifetime, he would protect Meng Zhang for the rest of his life.
"Then I'll stop that. ”
He used to be the presiding officer of the Golden Pavilion Temple in the Qinglian Domain, and his talent was different from ordinary people since he was a child, and his understanding of the Buddhist scriptures was not very deep, but he had an extremely special ability. Occasionally, he can get a glimpse of a person or thing in the future by touching that person or thing.
When the previous abbot of Kinkakuji learned about this, he carefully kept this secret for fear that the matter would get out and cause trouble.
A Taoist cultivator who is proficient in the art of deduction needs to spend longevity and essence blood to speculate on the future, and he can see the fate of some people with just a touch, and there is no need to pay any price, if there is a malicious monk who knows about it, he will definitely arrest and use people.
After the previous presiding officer, he was the only one left in the world who knew about it, and he did not go smoothly in his Buddhist practice, knowing that he could at most advance to the perfection of Zen mind, and it would be impossible for him to ascend to the upper realm to continue his practice, so he planned to spend his life quietly in Kinkakuji Temple.
Until one day, a little novice named Wuyou in the temple brought back a baby, and the moment he touched the child, he saw two long cyan shadows entangled, one good and one evil, and they couldn't give in to each other.
In the end, the good-natured green shadow was swallowed by the evil shadow, and at the moment of disappearance, he turned his head to "look" at him, and called out "Master" silently.
The host knew that the devoured good shadow was the baby in his swaddling clothes, and he also knew that those two green shadows were the original body of the Qinglong clan. So he thought about it for a long time and made a decision that puzzled the disciples in the temple.
Take away the Golden Pavilion Temple, leave no traces, and then dismiss all the disciples in the safe cultivation immortal domain far away from the Qinglian Domain, and only leave with the child named Meng Zhang.
The plan went very smoothly, but Wuyou, who took care of Meng Zhang along the way, refused to leave, so after some entanglement, the host put him under the seat and accepted him as a personal disciple, and he stayed there.
The host has never accepted Meng Zhang as an apprentice, but only nominally calls him a little apprentice, just like in the past, every little novice in the temple would call him "presiding master", but it was not his own transmission. It's not that he doesn't want to accept Meng Zhang as a disciple, but their fates are completely different, and there is no need to produce such deep cause and effect.
He prefers to see himself as an obscure temporary caregiver, watching Meng Zhang grow up, resolving the evil thoughts and obsessions that he may have, and hiding him in the mountains and forests when he is still vulnerable, and most importantly, not letting the Qinglong in front of him who will turn into an evil shadow know.
The host can't peek into all the future pictures, let alone peek at will, and now, he can't see the future from Meng Zhang, only a blue nothingness. This, he believes, is a sign that fate has changed.
"Have you ever heard of Nanquan slashing cats?"
"No, I didn't. ”
Yi Xie frowned, he had heard many interesting stories, all of which he had heard from ordinary villages, but she wouldn't tell them any stories about killing cats and dogs.
"One day, a beautiful kitten came to the temple, and the disciples asked to raise it, but everyone wanted to take it for themselves, so there was a dispute. When the Zen master named Nanquan saw this, he said, 'If you have the way, you will get the cat, and if you can't do it, you will kill the cat.' However, none of the disciples had ever 'attained enlightenment', so Nanquan swung his sword and slashed it, eliminating the scourge that caused the dispute, and the disciples dispersed. ”
Yi Xie frowned and asked, "Senior, is this threatening me?"
"No, it's not over yet. The host shook his head and smiled, his eyes were gentle and compassionate, as if he had infinite tolerance and wisdom, which was enough for him to face all the tests.
Later, a monk who had traveled here happened to come here, and listened to Nanquan tell about this game of killing cats, he took off a mud-stained shoe and put it on his head and left, Nanquan sighed in his heart when he saw this, if you are already here, you don't need to kill cats. ”
Yi Xie heard it in the clouds, and the cultivators of the Secret Dao Buddhism Sect were really like what Fu Yi said, and the twists and turns were a headache.
"To get the Tao is to get the cat, and the cat is the way. And all the laws of birth and destruction, and the laws of doing things are all fantasy bubbles, and anyone can do it? No one can get it. The host looked at Yi Xie, and it was as if he was looking at the nothingness in the distance.
"If you realize that the cat is empty, why do you need to destroy it by cutting it down in action? ”
Yi Xie felt as if he understood something, but for some reason, after listening to this cat slaying story, his obsession with that person was indeed not so deep.
"What you think is necessary, destined, and necessary is one of the ten thousand laws, all the laws are empty, little friend, think about your own path, don't be obsessed with the fate you sense. ”
Yi Xie secretly scolded the Buddha in his heart for being annoying, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't help but miss his clothes. It suddenly occurred to him that his outspokenness, his dislike of going around in circles with the Buddha, and his willingness to do whatever he liked were all influenced by his clothes.
