Chapter 55: The Mercy of Sacrifice

"Master Pure Soul, I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it. Shen Fei rushed forward like crazy, poured the elixir out of the mustard seed bag, and put it into the mouth of the Pure Spirit Monk at any cost. At the last moment of that life-and-death juncture, he clearly saw a smile on the corner of the Pure Spirit Monk's mouth, saw the sword and axe that should have arrived first, cutting off his own head, and stayed in mid-air, and saw the relief on the face of the Pure Spirit Monk, which was the feeling of relief and hope full of hope when the atonement was completed. Shen Fei understood, Shen Fei finally determined, completely determined, the pure spirit monk in front of him, this little monk who did not look amazing, is the Buddhist Zen master who truly harbors great compassion and truly compassion for the world, and is the first person to practice the compassion of Buddhism with his own body.

Shen Fei was very guilty, guilty that he chose life between life and death, and the other party chose to die! The death of the Pure Spirit Monk brought him a great shock, in this battle, not only did he lose, but also the Dao Fa lost, and he lost very completely, very thoroughly.

"Master, I beg you, I beg you, come back to life, Master, I beg you. "The most precious elixir was sent into the mouth of the Pure Spirit Monk by Shen Fei, but unfortunately the elixir can cast immortality and go to the lesion, but it can't live the dead, flesh and bones. The Pure Spirit Monk died after all, in the hands of Shen Fei, with the secret that he could not tell until his death.

Think about it carefully, from the first meeting in the suburbs of Ruyang City, to the dialectics in the forest, to the healing of the injured sika deer with him, to the reunion in the Jinling City Arena, everything has already been arranged. The purpose is to convey an important message to himself through his death, and at the same time, I hope that through his death, I can finally influence Shen Fei, put down the butcher's knife, and become a Buddha on the spot! Follow the teachings of the Buddha, love the world, no good or bad, no evil and no good, only this life and the next life.

It was too late for Shen Fei to understand the master's true intentions, or rather, the current ending was that the Pure Spirit Master had already decided from the moment he appeared in front of him, it was the true mercy of sacrificing one's life, the mercy that he could not reach.

Therefore, Shen Fei was ashamed, ashamed of his actions, and at the same time regretted, regretted that he had doubted the Pure Spirit Master, regretted that he had questioned the compassion of the Dharma, regretted that he was dominated by desires, and that he had been in the same stream with the turbid world.

The golden sweet syrup flowed out, penetrating into the depths of the ground, and the devastated arena, those cracks that could be seen slowly healed, until he died, and the Pure Spirit Master did not forget to have compassion for the world!

I don't know who knelt down in the ring, then the second, and the third, until everyone reverently folded their palms and shouted in unison: "Amitabha." ”

That's right, the Pure Spirit Monk used his death to prove the merits of Buddhism and Taoism.

The body that can be touched turns into a starry light, turns into a holy and beautiful swimming fish, flicks its tail, and goes into the air, the dark night sky is lit up, and he is a light that guides the way.

Shen Fei knelt on the ground, holding the relics that the Pure Spirit Monk had turned into after his death, and wept uncontrollably, crying very sadly, very sadly.

"Master Shen, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot! Don't let the world be devoured by war and blood for your own selfish interests, and turn into a hell. The swimming fish turned back in mid-air and looked back at Shen Fei quietly, as if the dead soul of the Pure Spirit Monk was looking at him from the sky......

For a long time after that, Shen Fei closed his door, living in self-blame and torment in his heart all day long, unable to extricate himself!

It wasn't until ten days later that a bright light suddenly appeared in the almost smelly room, and the relics that had been held in Shen Fei's arms for ten days actually shone with the purest light in the room with the doors and windows closed.

Shen Fei, who hadn't closed his eyes for ten days, had puffy bags under his eyes to the point of exaggeration, and when the light lit up, his eyes couldn't open a little, and he couldn't look directly at the bright light that suddenly appeared in the room, so he had to cover it with his hands. Instead, the relic slowly rose from his bosom and gradually turned transparent in the reflection of the light, as if something was hidden in it.

The relics are the holy relics of the Buddhist monks after their deaths, not the inner Dan, do not have energy, but they are the inheritance of faith, within the Buddhism, all the famous monks, the relics that turn out after death must be placed in the Lingyin Temple backyard of the Ling Pagoda for worship, without exception.

As a wandering monk, the Pure Spirit Master died in the fighting arena, so the relics that turned out after his death were temporarily kept by Shen Fei, and Shen Fei did regard this relic as the incarnation of the Pure Spirit Master, holding it day and night, and grieving for it. Master Pure Soul used his own death as an introduction to Shen Fei, such a tragic approach was really admirable, and it made Shen Fei even more ashamed, ashamed that he had a bad thought and killed the other party.

At this moment, the relics suddenly released light, like a lamp lit in the dark room, which gave Shen Fei a glimmer of hope in his heart, and said hopefully: "Master Pure Spirit, do you still have any unfulfilled wishes to tell Shen, just say it, even if Shen is broken, he will help you get what you want." ”

Shen Fei was really touched by the compassion of the Pure Spirit Master's sacrifice, and was shrouded in a feeling of sadness that had never appeared so far, and he still couldn't extricate himself.

But it was the relic that stood in the air, emitting light, the light gradually turned stronger from the initial softness, reached the peak and then weakened, and gradually enveloped the five-foot land, under the reflection of this supreme light, the figure of the pure spirit monk slowly appeared.

As Shen Fei thought, what else did the master have to entrust?

But no, because the light gradually turned into an entity, turned into flesh and blood, and completely wrapped the relics into it, the five-foot body of the Pure Spirit Monk, the flesh and blood body that could be touched, reappeared in front of Shen Fei in such an incredible, transcending common sense.

Close at hand, Shen Fei could feel the other party's body temperature, his heart was swept by thunder, full of shock and suspicion, as far as he knew, there was no way to live dead people, flesh and bones on the land of Kyushu dominated by the Heavenly Dao.

Even the Boundless Dao Ancestor who had practiced the Dao Technique of Reversing the Universe couldn't do it, could it be that the Pure Spirit Master could?

Shen Fei was full of shock and puzzlement, but also felt happy, after all, no matter what, Master Pure Spirit was alive, he could even clearly feel the other party's heartbeat, this kind of tangible feeling would never be fake.

"Master, are you really resurrected?" Shen Fei stepped forward and grabbed the other party's shoulder, feeling the aura of tranquility, and stared into the eyes of the Pure Spirit Monk, from which he saw a compassionate gaze.

"Master Pure Spirit, this is really a miracle, are you really the spirit well that escaped from the Gate of Destiny, you can be immortal and indestructible, immortal and not bad?"

But the other party stared at him for a long time and did not make any answer.

"What's the matter, Master Pure Soul, are you a living person, or a soul who has not yet been reincarnated, are you unwilling to die and come to take revenge on me?"

It's a pity that he still didn't get an answer, those eyes full of compassion always stared at himself without blinking, staring at Shen Fei, but there was no expression of words, no expression of emotion, anger, resentment, or sadness, nothing, just looked at it almost silently, as if he was looking at a handicraft with a great price, or some valuable antique.

This feeling made Shen Fei a little scared, as if he had been poured a basin of cold water on his head, and the feeling of happiness disappeared at once, replaced by a little fear, and he couldn't help but take two steps back, "Master Pure Spirit, you?"

"Amitabha, no matter what kind of guilt you have in your heart, when fear comes, you will still have a sense of withdrawal and self-defense, which is the greed in the heart of human beings. The protection of one's own life can be overridden by the indelible greed of others. Lord Shen, the reason why the little monk has not answered you is because the little monk is not the pure spirit master you are familiar with, but the little monk really has to thank you for getting rid of that guy who got in the way for me. ”

Compassion is still present in the eyes, but the madness hidden in it is still more than that of the Pure Soul Monk with great ambitions, and the voice has also changed, becoming ethereal, as if there is no heart.

Shen Fei was extremely frightened in his heart, and at the same time extremely curious, he pointed at the familiar and strange person in front of him with trembling fingers and asked, "You...... You are not a Master of Pure Spirits, but how did you manifest from the relics of Master Pure Spirits, why do you have the same appearance as him, and what do you have to do with the Spirit Well? ”

"Amitabha. The posture of clasping his hands together has not changed, but the piety in his eyes implies madness, "I would like to use Nan Ke to solve the disturbances in the world." To be precise, the little monk is both a pure spirit and not a pure spirit, and the little monk is both a spiritual well and not a spiritual well. ”

"You, you...... What the hell are you talking about. Shen Fei looked directly at the other party, seeing that the madness in the other party's eyes gradually disappeared, gradually disappearing into gentle compassion, and recalled that the Pure Spirit Master had said before his death that after his death, all mysteries would be solved, and the mystery would be completely revealed.

"Amitabha, Master Shen, there are some things that you will never understand, and you will never have to understand, because after understanding, not only will you not have any ease in your heart, but will bear a heavier burden from now on. If you want, you should call the little monk Jingling, I am the wandering monk in your mind, that's all. After the madness in his eyes faded, the Pure Spirit Monk seemed to have returned to his original appearance, with compassion, kindness, and the firmest faith that ordinary people could not understand. However, Shen Fei knew that he was no longer the same as before, and the person standing in front of him was not a Pure Spirit Monk.

After realizing this, Shen Fei's gaze finally became firm, and his voice turned cold: "Who are you, why hide it." ”

"Amitabha, Lord Shen, if you want, you can continue to call the little monk a pure spirit. ”

"I want to know who you are outside of here, I want to know the truth about the Pure Spirit Master, why you were able to be resurrected through his relics, why you are not him, what is the message that the Pure Spirit Master has been trying so hard to convey to me, I want to know all this. ”

"Amitabha, Lord Shen Shi, knowing too much will only make you full of troubles, in fact, the death of the pure spirit is what he wants, you don't need to mind at all, the only thing worth your attention is that from now on, a new pure spirit, that is, me, will become your opponent and become a stumbling block for your Taoist sect to preach in the world, it is enough to know this. ”

"Master Pure Soul, I'll just call you Master Pure Soul, people live in the world, all have troubles, without exception, you walk on the land of Kyushu, you must also have your own troubles, otherwise you won't breathe a sigh of relief after the resurrection. In that case, why bother to worry about adding trouble to the people around you. ”

Lord Shen Shi was high-minded, and the little monk admired it. ”

"In that case, can Master Pure Spirit answer the doubts in Shen's heart?"

"What does Master Shen want to know?"

"Who the hell are you. ”

"Amitabha, Lord Shen still remembers the appearance of the three heads and six arms that you showed when you fought with the Pure Soul Method at the last moment. ”

"How?"

"Jingling told you at the time that it was revealed when the Buddha fought against the fierce beast Yaqi Snake that was rampant on the land of Kyushu, and it was a punishment posture of three heads and six arms, looking at the sky, the earth, and people, and fighting fierce, evil, and evil. The combination of three heads and six arms is the three Dharmakayas, namely the Great Compassion Body, the Great Compassion Body, and the Great Merit Body. The three bodies are one, and the little monk is only one of them, so it can't be called a complete pure spirit. ”

"So......" Shen Fei showed a look of surprise, and suddenly remembered that when his last sword stabbed out, he pierced the front and back sides of the Pure Spirit Monk, and the only side was missing.

"Donor, have you already thought of it? The Pure Spirit Monk clasped his palms together, and the light in his eyes was sly, "Sure enough, he is an extremely intelligent person, no wonder the Pure Spirit values you so much, and believes that you can accomplish things that he can't do." ”

Shen Fei frowned instead, and asked, "Which of the three Dharma bodies are you?"

"Lord Shen Shi is talented and intelligent, why not guess. ”

"It's the Great Compassion Body. ”

"Hehe, why do you say that. ”

"Before he died, Master Jingling told a story about Lingjing, a swimming fish living in the gate of reincarnation, who left a familiar place and came to Kyushu out of compassion for the suffering of the world, hoping to redeem the world. For this reason, his journey begins with compassion, which is the Great Compassion Body. After that, he had compassion for the world, cut his flesh to help the victims, without complaint or regret, and turned into a prostitute who redeemed his body to support his daughter, and his heart was full of kindness, that is, a great good body. In the blind child, he learned the true way to help the world and save people, and from then on he started a new journey of salvation, completed his own Taoism, and achieved a near-perfect great meritorious body. ”
