Soon, Ziling found that his Haikou was a bit early.

This underground place is really bigger than you can imagine.

100 households become villages, 10 villages become towns, and several towns become cities. And this underground city is endless, innumerable.

In ancient times, there were frogs at the bottom of wells. Zi Ling knew at this time that although he was outside the well, he also underestimated the size of the bottom of the well.

Mountains, rivers, even trees, flowers, animals, a lot.

It's just that there's no sunlight.

But underground, everywhere is glowing with fluorescents, shocked by the earthly world, and called by beautiful women, stones.

This magical fluorescence is so strong that it literally illuminates the entire underground as if it were daylight.

The underground place is called the Mysterious Realm.

And what Zi Ling fell was nothing more than a small village on the edge of the Xuan Realm.

The beautiful woman called it a sunken village.

Because there is a waterfall outside the village.

It was from this waterfall that Zi Ling entered, or rather, fell into the Xuan Realm.

The water of this waterfall comes from Yao Chi.

Every few years, when the earth fire erupts, the water of Yao Pond falls from the top to the Xuan Realm, forming this sinking waterfall. It is through the natural walking of this sunken waterfall that the ghost walks in and out of this mysterious world.

According to the beautiful woman, the people of the Xuan Realm do not want to be disturbed by the outside world, so they categorically cannot let the existence of the Xuan Realm be known to the world. Therefore, the people in Shenshui Village constantly intimidate the ghosts, so much so that the ghosts classified the people in the Xuan Realm as Rakshasas and kept silent about the secrets of the Xuan Realm.

The real name of the beautiful woman is Ying Leiran. As the name suggests, he is quite heroic.

Not only did she pick up the dying Zi Ling and entertain her with delicious food and drink, but she also broke her heart for Zi Ling's unbalanced wishes.

She said that looking aimlessly will only waste a good time.

So she found a good friend of hers.

A monk.

The monk's common name is Meng, and the Buddha is called Master Yuansheng. It is the descendant of General Meng Tian.

General Meng was loyal and brave, and most of his descendants were virtuous and virtuous.

Master Yuansheng is no longer confused, although he is old-fashioned, he is a person with a lot of wisdom and compassion.

Thousands of years ago, the people of the Xuan Realm avoided disasters here, and it was the time when Taoism was prevalent. Buddhism arose in the Xuan Realm, but it was only a hundred years. Master Yuansheng, with the mind of crossing people and crossing himself, preached Buddhism everywhere in the Xuan Realm.

Although Master Yuansheng has a compassionate heart, after listening to Ying Leiran's advice, his face turned white with fright.

Because Ying Leiran asked Master Yuansheng to accept Ziling as an apprentice.

"Ziling donor, a female streamer, how can she become an apprentice of a poor monk? Master Yuansheng waved his hand again and again.

"Just a nominal apprentice. Ying Leiran patiently followed the temptation: "Let her follow you, she can ask around about her lover." You can take care of each other, I can rest assured. ”

Master Yuansheng was so angry that his face turned green: "Don't worry! Then how can I rest assured? By the side of the poor monk, followed by a female disciple, what kind of system will it be?"

"This is easy to do, Ziling can dress up as a man. Anyway, her head has been shaved, it's a pity not to be a disciple of Buddhism!" Ying Leiran grinned, looking like he couldn't refuse.

.

.

A few days later, Master Yuansheng fled from Shenshui Village like a fly.

The difference is that he is accompanied by a small novice.

What a handsome little novice!

The little novice was dressed in a wide robe, with mango shoes on his feet, and a huge bamboo basket on his back. Although he followed Master Yuansheng all the way, bowing his head obediently, he still couldn't hide the heroic spirit of the little novice. His countenance, like a blue sky washed by heavy rain, was clear and clear. A pair of big eyes, like bright stars in the night, beautiful but shining with perseverance.

People who come and go are often attracted to this little novice. The groups of women couldn't help but secretly look at the little novice, and sighed that it was a pity that such a handsome little student escaped into the empty door. The men, however, were a little puzzled by the little novice's gestures.

Even Master Yuansheng counted the little novice with dissatisfaction: "Look at yourself, where do you look like a little monk?"

Xiao Shami rubbed his nose aggrievedly: "Master, why don't I look like a little monk anymore?"

Master Yuansheng glared at Xiao Shami: "It's not like anywhere. ”

Xiao Shami blinked his eyes and said, "Master, you just told your disciples yesterday that people in Buddhism should not commit the three precepts of greed, hatred, and ignorance. Aren't you committing a reluctance to treat your disciples so disagreeably today?"

Master Yuansheng's face was blue and red for a while, and it took a long time before he recited the Buddha: "My Buddha is compassionate, and everything has cause and effect." If the seed is the cause, the harvest is the effect, and everything is made as you wish. The appearance of Ziling's benefactor may be the ordeal that the poor monk must go through in this life. ”

The little novice who was called Ziling stuck out his tongue and said, "Master, since it is cause and effect, it is good for you to accept this tempering with peace of mind. ”

Master Yuansheng couldn't help but glared at Zi Ling again: "If you arise, you will be born, and if you fall, you will perish, and all laws are the same." Since you and I have the opportunity to get this period of master-apprentice fate, how about the poor monk give you the Dharma name?"

"It's not appropriate. Zi Ling shouted: "Master, I'm here to find someone, you call me Yuanxuan, this name is too unlucky." ”

Master Yuansheng almost lost his breath. He tried to calm his emotions and asked, "Then what do you think is the right name?"

Zi Ling thought for a while and said seriously: "I think the fate is more auspicious. ”

Master Yuansheng shook his head: "Since you have been under my door for a day, you should be self-disciplined as an empty person. Such a name is too worldly. ”

After some friendly bargaining, Ziling was eventually renamed Yuanci.

Since then, Yuanci has begun her path of cultivation as a green lantern ancient Buddha.

Although she is not here.

She's just searching for her deceased.

However, in the process of following the Yuansheng Master to travel around, the Qing rules and precepts still need to be observed.

It is necessary to chant sutras, copy sutras, meditate every day, and do not eat meat or drink alcohol.

What's even more excessive is that you can't be sad and happy, and even if you speak loudly, you will be glared at by the master.

The little monk of Yuanci can only be happy and angry.

It's almost going to suffocate Ziling's happy heart to death.

Sometimes, Ziling felt that she should have been cheated by Ying Leiran.

And Master Yuansheng is also deeply convinced.

In the eyes of Master Yuansheng, this Yuanci is not only his own tempering, but also his calamity.

Not only did Yuan Ci memorize the scriptures in a mess, but he often fell asleep during meditation, and even snored during morning classes.

Every time he places an order in the temple, Yuanci always complains that the dishes in the temple are unpalatable, and often gives a resentful look at the cabbage and tofu.

And every time in the town, once you pass by braised duck, sauce pig's trotters and other delicacies, Yuanci will be like a nail on an iron plate, unable to pull away, and even have to flow out of the street.

What's even more excessive is that no matter where she goes, there are always little girls who come out and give gifts to Yuanci with a red face. Whenever Master Yuansheng opens the altar to preach the Fa, there are always a large number of girls, young ladies and young women, pointing at Yuanci, revealing all kinds of expressions.

Master Yuansheng couldn't bear it anymore, and calculated several ways to drive Yuanci away.

But Yuanci is like a dog skin plaster, sternly rejecting the abandonment of Master Yuansheng.

She said solemnly: "Master, you often teach your disciples that you must have a beginning and an end in life. Until I leave the Xuan Realm, I will always follow Master. ”

Master Yuansheng secretly screamed bitterly in his heart, and said helplessly: "You have a flamboyant personality and are not suitable for cultivation. ”

Yuan Ci clasped his hands together and said respectfully, "Master, this is a bad word. Ever since the disciples practiced with the Master, they have discovered that Buddhism is great wisdom and great compassion. It really benefited a lot. ”

Master Yuansheng frowned and asked, "Then tell me, how is Buddhism great wisdom?"

Yuan Ci thought seriously for a while, and said: "Before the disciple, I always believed that there were injustices in the world, and only chivalry could eliminate violence and peace. However, after listening to Master's preaching on the Dharma, I realized that eliminating violence and maintaining peace is only a way to counter violence with violence. Even if one evil is removed, there will be an endless number of wicked people. Only by educating people's hearts and guiding them to goodness can we truly eliminate evil and promote good. ”

Master Yuansheng looked at Yuanci in surprise, as if a flower was about to bloom on Yuanci's face.

Yuan Ci went on to say, "Moreover, the teachings of Buddhism preach compassion for all things, the unity of the world, and the equality of all beings. The tolerance of Buddhism can be seen. The Buddha said that everything is cyclical in cause and effect, so there should be multiple good causes. In this way, there is neither coercion nor coercion, but a benevolent method to guide people to goodness. Dharma is indeed great compassion. ”

Master Yuansheng nodded uncontrollably, and the flower was almost about to bloom on Master Yuansheng's face. He said happily: "The understanding is very high, the understanding is very high. Yuanci is worthy of being a high apprentice of the teacher. ”

From then on, although Master Yuansheng was still helpless against Yuanci, he never mentioned driving away Yuanci Yunyun.

.

.

The master and apprentice have traveled through thick and thin, thousands of rivers and mountains, like a white horse passing through a gap.

The mountains and rivers rise and fall, and the heart of mercy is also repeated in sorrow and joy, hope and disappointment.

Village after village, town after town.

There was no whereabouts of the ice sun.

The people of the Xuan Realm are simple, and every time they see Yuan Ci's disappointment, they will comfort: "Little Master, don't be sad, the Xuan Realm is so big, go to the front and ask, there will be good news ahead!"

Master Yuansheng saw that Yuanci had been disappointed thousands of times, and he couldn't bear it. So he cautiously knocked on the side: "Your friend, maybe he is too ordinary, in this Xuan Realm, there are no people, so he can't find out his whereabouts? Or, he has already left the Xuan Realm on his own?"

Yuan Ci immediately denied Master Yuansheng's comfort: "Bingyang has a remarkable appearance, and it is very easy to attract peach blossoms, and he will definitely not be oblivious to everyone." Even if he fell into the fire and ruined this appearance, he should be extremely ugly and not go unnoticed. Before he fell into the earth fire, he was subjected to the Xuan Han Demon Skill, how could he have the ability to leave the Xuan Realm on his own?"

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Ci was stunned.

Yes, I understand all the truths.

The ice sun is simply lifeless.

It's just that I don't want to accept this fact.

If all the hard work and pursuit are just for a doomed ending.

How long will this dream be done?

Yuanci's heart is like falling into a deep pool, getting colder and tighter.

She felt like she was about to run out of breath.

She was dizzy, involuntarily clutching her heart, squatting on the ground, drenched in cold sweat.

Master Yuansheng couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Yuanci's pale face and his hands covering his heart. He helped Yuanci to the side and sat down, cutting the pulse and pouring water.

After a period of tossing, Master Yuansheng found that Yuanci was still stupid, and couldn't help but feel anxious: "Yuanci, are you sick?"

Yuan Ci turned his head to look at Master Yuansheng, but his eyes were glazed. She was weak and muttered, "Master, why does my heart hurt so much?"

Master Yuansheng immediately stood up and said anxiously: "You wait here for the teacher, and the teacher will go to the town to hire a doctor for you." ”

Yuan Ci saw that the master, who was usually not happy with things and not sad for himself, was so panicked that he lost his proportions. Yuanci struggled to stand up, grabbed Master Yuansheng, and said, "Master, my illness is not something that a doctor can take care of. ”

Master Yuansheng took a closer look at Yuanci's listless face, and understood seven or eight points in his heart. He sighed, folded his hands, recited the Buddha, and said, "Since you say that the Dharma is great wisdom, why have you practiced for so long, or are you so obsessed?"

Yuan Ci still lowered his eyes, and said with a gloomy expression: "Master, since it is an obsession, how can a disciple let go of it easily? ”

Master Yuansheng pondered for a long time, and finally said, "Know your suffering for the teacher." However, no matter how bleak the future is, there must be a beginning and an end in vain. ”

Yuan Ci raised his head, looked at Master Yuansheng with some surprise, and said, "Master, haven't you always objected to my attachment to this thought?"

Master Yuansheng sighed and said: "Sitting and Zen, walking and Zen, a flower and a world, and a leaf is the same." Whether it is joy or sorrow, it is all practice. No matter what the road ahead is, only by living up to one's heart and carrying it out from beginning to end can we achieve perfection. ”

Yuan Ci stood stunned for a long time before bowing deeply to Master Yuansheng: "Thank you, Master, open the clouds and see the blue sky!" ”

Master Yuansheng nodded, but the expression on his face was helpless and complicated
