What is a Buddha?

Patriarch Bodhidharma once said: The former Buddha and the latter Buddha only speak their hearts. The mind is the Buddha, and the Buddha is the mind. There is no Buddha outside the heart, and there is no heart outside the Buddha.

But if there is a Buddha outside the heart, where is the Buddha? If there is no Buddha outside the heart, where can the Buddha be seen? Master Wu Anger practices Zen, and the practice of meditation is in the heart. All Buddhas, all great freedoms, all belong to the heart.

Just like at this moment, Ye Xipeng is immersed in emptiness and silence, silent and colorless, and all laws are quiet. If there is a Buddha in the heart, it is like lighting a lamp, lighting up the silence and illuminating the other side. But Ye Xipeng is like the fish of the Northern Underworld, vowing to turn Peng away, bear the blue sky, and break the clouds, how can he rein in his wings and be willing to be the fish of the Northern Underworld?

He never let go of the word in his heart.

But the more Ye Xipeng struggled at this time, like the Kunpeng that swayed into the nine skies, the higher he flew, the heavier the blue sky he carried.

Master Wuzhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart as he watched his long eyebrows, which looked like wings, gradually entangled. As early as when he met Ye Xipeng, he saw Ye Xipeng's endless ambition, this person will definitely set off a bloody storm on the rivers and lakes.

That's why he thought about using the sword to extinguish the Dharma to influence this person, but it was obvious that Ye Xipeng's obsession was difficult to break.

If it is the man in white whose hands are stained with blood, he will not have mercy for him. The Nirvana Sutra says: "The retribution of good and evil follows you like a shadow, and the cycle of cause and effect in the three worlds is not lost." "The murder of the man in white himself will naturally be repaid with blood.

But Ye Xipeng is different, Master Wu has not heard of Ye Xipeng committing any murder on the rivers and lakes.

"Amitabha!"

A Buddha horn rang like an alarm bell, and Ye Xipeng woke up from the silence.

"My Buddha is merciful, Lord Ye, you lost!"

Master Wu's voice was calm, his eyebrows lowered, and his face was full of compassion. And he is indeed a compassionate person, otherwise when Yao Mingyue and the others came to ask for Chu Yongkun and the others, they would not have been conscious of their mistakes, and after only seeing Yao Mingyue's sword, they would let the two of them go. It's only because of compassion that I don't want to make a big move.

At this time, he knew that Ye Xipeng might cause trouble in the future, but he still let Ye Xipeng go.

After all, he has lived for more than 80 years since he was born, went to Shaolin at the age of nine, and has been practicing meditation for more than 70 years. As for martial arts, he learned it just to strengthen his body. It's just that Shaolin martial arts and Zen are connected, and the clearer he is in Buddhism and Zen, the deeper his martial arts cultivation becomes.

After serving as the abbot of Shaolin in no time, he sat on the wall with other brothers and sisters for nearly ten years, and he was the first in Buddhism among many brothers.

This time, if it weren't for the fact that Qin Xin was very important, he didn't want to miss the cultivation of all the teachers and brothers, so he petitioned to come out of the mountain. and caught up with the white-clothed man to kill evil everywhere, and he would temporarily live in Lingyin Temple.

Ye Xipeng looked at the figure of Master Wuzhi slowly turning around, and a trace of fear suddenly appeared in his heart.

In his mind, even if there are people in this world who can surpass him by a single step in cultivation, it is impossible to leave him alive. Therefore, whether it is facing the first White Bone Lady of the Demon Gate or the purple-clothed Dragon King who is famous all over the world, Ye Xipeng is not afraid at all, and he goes to the appointment alone.

And this time on the Lingyin Temple, the same.

But obviously he far underestimated Master Wuyi, an old monk who practiced meditation in the mountains all the year round, this person's true qi was not as good as the qi of the three talents in his body, and this person's body method was not as good as his vertical golden light, but the weirdness of this person's swordsmanship and the profundity of his sword intent made him bow down.

Even, this person doesn't need to see blood to kill him!

Ye Xipeng originally thought that there was nothing in the world that scared him anymore, but the truth hit him deeply. I couldn't help but have a trace of magic in my heart, and I had to kill this person.

Otherwise, if there is such a person in this world, don't say whether the plan will be changed because of this person, I am afraid that his life will be difficult to save in the future.

After all, at this time, he didn't kill too much in the rivers and lakes, and he didn't even have a good reputation, but it may not be in the future, and it may not be possible if Master Wuzhi will show mercy at that time!

With the demon barrier, Ye Xipeng was killed, but he did not show any murderous aura.

The next moment, the pitch-black blade on his waist suddenly plunged into Master Wuxi's body. The blood lines on the knife body are like human blood vessels, hideous and terrifying.

This knife was almost to the extreme, and it was silent, only the moment the blade entered the body of the Master of No Anger, Master Wu Wei faintly noticed a trace of murderous intent, as cold as the blade.

But apparently, it's too late!

Master Wuzhi didn't think about whether Ye Xipeng would attack him if he lost, but he still turned around with peace of mind, leaving the empty door behind him to Ye Xipeng. It's just because he sticks to his heart and has compassion in his heart. Just as the benevolent see the benevolent, the compassionate will think that others also have compassion in their hearts!

Even if he knew that Ye Xipeng was ambitious, he was an eagle dog of the imperial court, a brocade-clothed guard with great power.

It's just that he underestimated people's hearts after all. If Master Wuqi only defeated Ye Xipeng, but could not threaten Ye Xipeng's life, Ye Xipeng would be very generous. Just like Zhao Shiquan and Yuanxing Monk who shot at him, he only punished him a little, and did not hurt the lives of the two of them.

But when Master Wuzhi was already able to threaten his life, Ye Xipeng did not hesitate to kill.

Even if he can't kill Master Wuzhi at this moment, he will try his best to get rid of Master Wuzhi later. Therefore, this knife, his spirit and spirit are contained in it, just like when Lu Bing cut off the Qinglian Sword in Su Nisheng's hand with one sword, and his knife was silently inserted into the body of Master Wuxi.

The blood slowly stained the monk's robe of Master Wuzhi along the tip of the knife, and Master Wuzhi slowly turned his head, his expression was neither sad nor joyful. It's just that the dim eyes looked at Ye Xipeng full of compassion, and he muttered: "The sea of bitterness is boundless, and the shore is the back." ”

Ye Xipeng looked at his eyes, and for some reason he suddenly felt a trace of pain in his heart, and he couldn't help but turn his face away.

"Master ......"

He wanted to say sorry, but he couldn't open his mouth for a long time. The hand holding the hilt of the knife also let go and took a step back.

"Amitabha!" Wuyi's face turned pale, and he grabbed the blade of the knife with his backhand and slowly pulled it out, blood spilling on the ground. The long knife he pulled out was pitch black, and there was not even a trace of blood, but the red lines like blood vessels on it became more and more vivid.

Ye Xipeng showed a cautious look on his face, but he saw that Wu Yan slowly sat down cross-legged towards him, holding a knife in both hands, putting it on his legs, and muttering: "Master Ye, put down this knife and become a Buddha on the spot!"

After speaking, he lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes.

Ye Xipeng looked at Master Wuzhi in a daze, and said in his heart: "He's dead...... He's dead......"

He should have stepped forward to grab the long knife and hurried away, but he hesitated. I don't know how long it took, but there was a slight movement in the distance, apparently the Master of Relief had followed. Ye Xipeng sighed lightly, stepped forward to pick up the case containing the heart, and was about to leave, but he took two steps and turned back.

"Master, when I succeed, I will put down this sword!"

He put the long knife back into its sheath and quietly disappeared into the deep and dim mountain forest, his figure gradually blurring.

......

Liu Mingsheng left from the West Lake, not knowing whether to chase the knife or just want to get out of everyone's sight.

Bai Yujing had no choice but to say goodbye to Sakurako Sakagami, Sakurako Sakagami thought about it, but after all, she still didn't tell Bai Yujing about the battle between Yao Mingyue and Liu Mingsheng.

Zhang Cuiping originally wanted to ask about the woman in red and Sakurako Sakagami, but seeing that Bai Yujing was injured, he didn't say much. Back at his residence, Bai Yujing told Zhang Songxi in detail about the previous battle with Liu Wuya and Liu Mingsheng.

After hearing this, Zhang Songxi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This son is really talented, his swordsmanship has grown faster than I expected, and now he can freely collect the sword intent in his heart and differentiate himself." ”

"Sword intent is also said to be free to be retracted?" Bai Yujing said.

"That's nature, and the Three Treasures of the Human Body are not endless, just as when our True Qi is exhausted, so is the Sword Intent. The so-called sword intent is divine intent, and ordinary people tend to be listless if they have little rest time or are obsessed with wine, which is to damage the spirit. And if you rest well and insist on strengthening your body, you will be full of energy. Every time you exert your sword intent, it will lose your spirit, when Liu Mingsheng subdued you with a sword, it was obviously impossible to retract and release it freely, and the sword intent was brilliant, although it was more intimidating, but at least it also damaged most of the spirit, and it was powerless to last. ”

"He definitely can't use a few swords with this kind of brilliant sword intent, and now that you are against him, although you can also feel that his sword bursts like a volcano, it is obviously much inferior to the previous sword, otherwise you would have been defeated a long time ago. It shows that Liu Mingsheng has been able to retract and release his sword intent freely, and he is divided into thousands of differences. And this stage is also recorded in ancient books, and the predecessors called it distraction. ”

The division of the divine will is distraction.

"Originally, I thought it would take him at least a year or two to figure out this truth, but I don't want him to understand this truth in just a few days, I have to be amazing!"

Zhang Songxi said this, and said slowly: "Yujing, your talent will not be worse than his, but you are weak by nature and have never experienced life and death tribulations, so it is difficult to stimulate the divine will in your heart." I thought that you were against Liu Mingsheng, and Liu Mingsheng's sword could help you break through, but listening to you, this Liu Mingsheng seemed to be merciful to you twice, why is this?"

Bai Yujing also felt strange when he heard Zhang Songxi say this. Thinking about it, it's really like this, according to Liu Mingsheng's swordsmanship, whether it was the previous time or this time, Liu Mingsheng had the ability to kill him, but it seemed that his subordinates were merciful and let him go.

If Yanagi Mingsheng is a compassionate person, he still talks about the past, but almost none of the people who fought with him did not die under his sword.

Suddenly, he thought of Sakurako Sakagami, and thought of Gong Xing, who had already recovered from his injuries, and he was afraid that Gong Xing's injuries were healed by Liu Mingsheng. In this way, they should have met, but Liu Mingsheng showed mercy for their sake.

Although Bai Yujing's guess was not entirely correct, it was about the same. The first time they met, Liu Mingsheng spared him because Yao Mingyue let him go, so Liu Mingsheng spared him once because Bai Yujing was Yao Mingyue's friend. And this time it's for Sakurako Sakagami's sake. After all, Bai Yujing came with Sakurako Sakagami, and he heard Sakurako Sakagami mention that a young Taoist had helped her. Therefore, Liu Mingsheng will be merciful.

Bai Yujing couldn't help but tell him about Sakurako Sakagami, and Zhang Songxi also felt that it should be like this, and couldn't help sighing: "Then Liu Mingsheng is merciful to your subordinates, and it will be difficult for you to become a sword intent if you go to find him." However, the battle between the righteous and the demons is about to start, and maybe this is where your chance lies. ”
