"What do you mean?" asked Xiao Shu.

"If you have one, you will think about two, and if you get two and three, it is difficult to satisfy, and it is not only heaven that you do not fulfill people's wishes, but the human heart is insufficient, just like Mr. Nanbei pointed to Xiao Shudao.

"Me?" Xiao Shu didn't react for a while.

"Yes, the Tianxuan Realm has reached its peak, but Mr. is not still dissatisfied with this, the little monk still remembers that night the sword tide in the sky was really a wonder, only seen in this life, it is really an eye-opener, but the gate of heaven has not been opened, is this what Mr. asks with a smile?"

Xiao Shu didn't deny it either, and nodded.

"Sir, look at my wound, where did it come from?" asked Nanbei, pointing to his wound that had been bandaged with plaster.

"I was injured by the people on the street, and I was injured by the slaves of the He family. ”

"Then why did they hurt me?"

"Because you and things stand out for me and Xiao Yaohua, they don't like outsiders, and you want to get in the way, so they will take your anger out. ”

"Then why don't they like outsiders?"

Xiao Shu didn't answer, he understood what Nanbei meant.

"There is a lot of suffering in life, there are causes to follow, it is suffering, that is the cause of evil, natural disasters and man-made disasters, so that many people in the state and city have to leave their hometowns, this is the cause of evil, they came to Yandu after their bad intentions, stealing and looting, this is the evil result is also the evil cause, the people of Yandu resented outsiders, or made it difficult for them, or spurned them, and even more like that, he admonished, killed people directly, it is the same, the so-called cycle of cause and effect, I got involved in it, this injury is the evil result. Nanbei folded his hands and sighed.

"According to what you say, what is the cause and effect of that calamity? What will be the evil cause of your injury, and what evil consequences will it cause?" Xiao Shu asked impatiently, it is cause and effect, if everything is really predestined, then the meaning of the existence of all living beings is not like a puppet show, the so-called self is just the cause of antecedents, and the so-called choice is just the result of the result?

"Dependent arising voidness, but also ignorance, natural disasters and man-made disasters are not spontaneous in heaven, but everyone, every day, every point of accumulation, an evil cause, is the beginning of the next evil cause, no matter inside or outside the bureau, sentient beings create karma, sentient beings bear, this is the common karma, the little monk suffered this injury, do not ask, do not hear, do not investigate, calmly accept it, and then end this evil cause. "The north and the south have a sad face, reciting Buddhist scriptures, but the vast world of sentient beings, how much karma, not to mention one person, is three thousand Buddhas and eight hundred bhikshus, how can they cross all sentient beings?

"Qingyun Sect Zhang Zhenren slaughtered 100,000 with a sword and died at the head of the city, according to what you said, those 100,000 soldiers should have died?

"Good and evil are indistinguishable, right and wrong are difficult to judge, all by one heart is inevitably biased, the little monk does not dare to say that Zhang Zhenren is right or wrong, he is good for the common people to be robbed, the sword slaughter of 100,000 is evil, to protect the Yue country, and finally end up infamy, this is cause and effect, can not be avoided, can not escape, up to the Buddha and Taozu, down to the red dust layman, the only difference is that the great cultivator does not know cause and effect, knows cause and effect, and ordinary people do not see cause and effect, and still deceive themselves when they come to the end, in the eyes of the little monk, Zhang Zhenren is a great practitioner, although he dies, he still abides by his heart, and the angry eyes of King Kong are also compassionate. Nanbei said.

The rain outside was still dripping, Xiao Shu was silent for a moment, and suddenly smiled and said, "If I kill you now and kill the entire people in Yandu, is this also cause and effect?"

"Count. Nanbei said in a deep voice, as soon as the words fell, a dull red light crossed, the crown of his hair fell, and his long hair fell down, but his eyes were still calm and waveless.

The killing intent became stronger, Xiao Shu stared at the eyes of the north and south, and the red leaf sword in his hand was swallowed, making the north and south feel like they were naked in the ice and snow, but he still looked like he was smiling but not smiling.

"Many years ago, I was blessed by the half-master of Tianjizi, he left me this question, before I could unravel it, he died first, I have seen and heard a lot over the years, but I have never sought to understand, today I want you such a little monk to solve my doubts, when the world is really impermanent, if there is a chance to really want to visit your master, to see what kind of person can teach you such an apprentice. Xiao Shu put away the sword and said with a smile, the moment he took out the sword, his killing intent was not a fraud, as long as the north and south were half distracted, maybe this sword gang would really cut off his head, although Xiao Shu was not easy to kill, but the north and south wanted to say a set of cause and effect that he hated the most, but in the end he still took the sword, and the light appearance of the north and south clouds reminded him of Tianjizi.

"I know that Mr. doesn't like the theory of cause and effect, but the little monk still wants to say that except for the last question, cause and effect can be generalized. ”

"Isn't the injustice of heaven not in the list of cause and effect?"

"This ...... The little monk is shallow, only knows the cause and effect, does not understand the impermanence of heaven, how dare to say that the way of heaven is fair or not, if Mr. really wants to solve the doubt, you might as well go to Yuezhou Guanlan Mountain Cloud Temple to find my Xiaoyue master, maybe the family teacher can solve the doubts for Mr., the family teacher is also a hospitable person, although the cloud temple is not the peak of incense, but it is also a Buddha, even if you don't worship the Buddha, just to see the scenery is a good place...... "North and South and opened the chatterbox, gushing from the Guanlan Mountain cloud tide magnificent, said Yuezhou customs.

Xiao Shu didn't interrupt and just listened quietly, but Nanbei turned his words, pointed to the red rosary on Xiao Shu's wrist and said, "Where did this string of Buddha beads come from?"

"Do you recognize?" Xiao Shu asked in surprise.

Nan Nan's brows furrowed again, and this Buddha bead gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't say it when it was stuck in his throat.

Xiao Shu saw that he was distressed, so he took off the Buddhist beads on his wrist and threw them to Nanbeidao, "I don't know where this string of Buddhist beads came from, but I just took it with me since I was a child." ”

Nanbei picked up and took a closer look, this Buddha bead is not ordinary, there is no rope between the eighteen Buddha beads, as if there is some force out of thin air to let them suck together, I can't help but be surprised, "The little monk only knows that the magnet has such characteristics, but this Buddha bead is crystal clear, not as black as the magnet, why can it be spontaneously connected together?"

"There was once a Taoist chief who said, this Buddha bead is not a thing in this world, do you really know it?"

Xiao Shu had a trace of expectation in his heart, but it was a pity that he shook his head after looking at it for a long time, and handed the Buddha beads back to Xiao Shudao, "This Buddha bead is wonderful, the little monk can feel its Buddha rhyme hidden in his hand, it is by no means an ordinary thing, but if it is familiar, it may be that he has seen similar Buddha beads in the temple all year round." ”

After eating on the other side, He Xiaozhi and Wang Lao left early, and before leaving, they came to look for Xiao Shu, saying openly and secretly, hoping that Xiao Shu could be a guest of the He family, and invited Xiao Shu and Xiao Zhaohua to go to the house to talk.

People with status like them often raise a large number of characters of three religions and nine streams, some of them are vain, cheat to eat and drink, and raise more is also full of scenes, and if they really have the ability, they can be said to have food and fish, travel and cars, and do not need to do chores, and live a comfortable life, so there are many people who recommend themselves, and Xiao Shu, who was personally invited, is the first.

However, Xiao Shu refused without interest, he didn't like to be tied up in one place, in the early years, Tianjizi asked him to take care of the Xuanji Gate, not to mention going to see it all these years, he didn't even inquire, but he didn't care, but in his imagination, the Xuanji Gate, which is rarely involved in the grievances of the rivers and lakes, is not a big deal.

East and West and Mrs. Su Jin hit it off at first sight, and they talked very happily, so they almost recognized it as a daughter, but put the north and south who thought they thought Buddhism was profound, and playing chess with the old man Boqian every day was what he did the most, but the chess skills of the north and south were not bad, and facing Boqian was simply a sweep to win.

Although Boqian usually cultivates himself and has a good temper, he has an obsession with playing chess, and the house slaves in the house dare not win him, like Zhang Yuanwai, and he is half a catty and eight taels, and he thinks that his level is not low, but these days he has lost chess again and again, the more he loses, the more he has to play, and it is not good to hold back the fire in his heart.

Xiao Yuhua was tired of it after a few days of freshness, where did he enjoy this kind of treatment, although it was comfortable, but there was always a hurdle in his heart, and he couldn't change the habit of petty theft, he always broke things with his hands and feet, and in a blink of an eye, he became the public enemy of Bofu, but no one blamed him for the guests invited by Boyan, but they all guarded against him like a thief.

"Xiao wants food, aren't you going to take me to see the immortals, when are we leaving?"

Xiao Zhaohua asked when she was eating, and she also asked when she was sleeping, and she followed Xiao Shu all day long, like a bird that couldn't get rid of it, and kept chattering in Xiao Shu's ear.

"In a few days. Xiao Shu always said this, for some reason, the Buddha beads on his wrist became a little unstable since he showed them to the north and south that night, and every time he meditated, he emitted clear light and introduced Xiao Shu into the inexplicable realm, which was something that had never happened since he was a child.

Xiao Shu also went to inquire about the north and south, but the two of them thought for a long time but had no clue, but the scene of that realm was deeply imprinted in Xiao Shu's mind.

As far as the eye can see, the red lotus is all over the sky, the golden lotus is everywhere, the black lotus is ethereal, the green lotus is ethereal, all of them are swaying, and there are fine scriptures circulating on each petal lotus, which is very strange.

An indescribable grand pillar of light in the lotus sea is holy and clear, up to the sky, down to the ground, Xiao Shu is not even a grain of dust in front of him, and then look, there is a looming figure in the pillar of light, whispering something, whenever Xiao Shu wants to listen carefully, he will get out of it.

"If you want the little monk to say, this red lotus should be karmic fire, and the golden lotus is merit, as for the black lotus and the green lotus, it is unknown, Mr. said that there is a figure in the pillar of light, then this person is not a Buddha and a demon, Mr. should be careful. Nanbei thought for a long time and said, his face was also more cautious than ever.

Xiao Shu felt that the people in the pillar of light seemed to want to tell him something, but in that realm, Xiao Shu couldn't speak, couldn't see, and his hands and feet had no feeling, and after several times, he realized that he had no body at all, as if it was just a cloud of empty spiritual consciousness floating in it, whenever he tried to get close to the pillar of light, the lotus flower full of eyes would wither, turn into ashes and scatter, and in an instant, the entire realm would be like a gray rain, the pillar of light would be broken, everything would return to darkness, and the consciousness would break out and return to his body.
