In autumn, everything withered, the heavens and the earth were dead and yellow, and it seemed that there was only this color left at a glance, desolate, endless desolation.

"I respectfully ask His Holiness to explain the Dharma and clear up your doubts. ”

In the Jinshan Temple, the host said to a person who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, closing his eyes and calming down, with a respectful and pious expression, prostrate on the ground, and did not even dare to raise his head, for fear of inadvertently blasphemy.

"Got it. ”

Tie Zhu slowly opened his eyes, his face was calm, he was dressed in gray monk's robes, sitting cross-legged on the ground, like a Buddha statue, a mud fetus, and the white tiger snuggled up to him.

Since he walked into the Jinshan Temple, the name of this lonely temple suddenly spread all over the world, for mortal believers, even the gods and Buddhas have touched the things are holy things, not to mention the so-called Arhat into the temple, even the white tiger is regarded as a divine beast under his seat at the moment, so far, Jinshan Temple is regarded as a holy place of Buddhism, countless believers rush to it.

He walked out and looked at the countless old steps that stretched from the entrance of the temple to the foot of the mountain, and there were kneeling figures, all prostrate on the ground looking at him with a reverent expression.

As if noticing the gaze of the iron pillar, everyone was excited, longing for Buddhahood, for liberation, for salvation.

A man fell down in the distance, it was a ragged believer, who came from nowhere, trekking through mountains and rivers, but at this moment he died, how can a weak mortal not die without eating or drinking for seven days? He still knelt down until he died, and his face was pious.

Tiezhu's eyes twitched slightly, and then returned to calm, he had seen this many times. And the people around him seemed to have long been accustomed to it, and their faces were even more religious, they seemed to have seen such things for a long time, and they thought that this was a relief.

Now the world is in turmoil, conquests are everywhere, the smoke of war, and there are demons raging, but those gods and Buddhas seem to be gone, and mortals are miserable, but even so, these people still come from thousands of miles away, some are implicated in the war, and some are sick and die on the road, he seems to still see that there are still countless believers coming in the distance of this road.

But he can't save them, because at the moment he can't even save himself, he's not a Buddha, he can do too little.

He went from not daring to look directly at the beginning to being calm and indifferent now, and he never thought that one day he would become the most disgusting existence he once had.

From beginning to end, Tie Zhu did not say a word, he was not a Buddha, and he could not recite sutras, but even so, those people still looked respectful.

He saw a shadow on the stairs not far away, it was Ah Xiu, and she was also kneeling on the ground.

Tie Zhu was silent, he looked at the monks who were waiting for him to preach the Fa with a look of hope, he was even more silent, he thought that he would have a lot to say, but when he saw these people, he suddenly felt that it was so difficult to open his mouth.

"Go away...... It is enough to have a Buddha in your heart. ”

Tie Zhu said in a deep voice, his voice mixed with the power of qi and blood like a tiger roaring and a dragon roaring.

"Thank you, Venerable, for your teachings. ”

So the believers heard it very clearly, their foreheads touched the ground, their mouths cried out, and their faces were full of relief from the pilgrimage, and they felt that this sentence alone was enough.

Tie Zhu was silent, this was the only thing he could do.

"Don't come to the backyard to disturb me if it's okay in the future. ”

He then said to the host of the Jinshan Temple closest to him.

"Greetings to His Holiness. ”

Everyone bowed respectfully again, looking pilgrimily at the back of the iron pillar gradually disappearing.

Tie Zhu walked to the courtyard, and then to the backyard, which was his place.

He walked to a Buddha hall and sat down cross-legged, in front of him was a one-person high stone statue of Guanyin, carved lifelike, a compassionate and compassionate appearance.

"I thought you'd say something. ”

Strangely, the face of Guanyin was gradually reflected on the face of the Buddha statue.

Tie Zhu closed his eyes and was silent, as if he hadn't heard.

"Look at you now, how holy and undesecrated you are in their eyes, and everyone worships you so devoutly. ”

Guanyin still spoke.

"You can deceive the world, but can you deceive yourself?"

Tie Zhu didn't open his eyes, and his tone was cold.

"Hehe, have you forgotten something, you have forgotten that you also belong to the gods and Buddhas now. ”

Guanyin smiled compassionately.

And the iron pillar was shocked.

"I'm not like you. ”

His voice was calm, but loud.

"What's the difference? You don't deceive the world, you look at the believers who have come through mountains and rivers, how much of them died because of you, they want to be liberated, but you can't do it. ”

Guanyin's words silenced Tiezhu.

"You should have seen that those three drops of mutton fat fairy dew are condensed by the life of all spirits, what is the difference between you and us? Keep saying that we are blinding the world, but don't you also sacrifice the lives of all spirits for your family? It seems that your true appearance is also very selfish and hypocritical. ”

Guanyin looked at him tepidly and with a smile.

"But you are enslaving them with your so-called faith...... When a person is struggling to survive, what can he talk about saving the world? If he can't even survive himself, everything is just nonsense, and the only thing I can do now is to live and protect my family. ”

Tie Zhu's tone was calm.

"Haha, I underestimated you, but you really think that you can save them, and the truth behind it is more cruel than you know now. ”

Guanyin suddenly smiled, and he was unscrupulous and no longer hidden.

"By the way, I suddenly remembered something I didn't tell you. ”

Guanyin's eyes returned to smiling.

"Do you know what the creatures in this world that are not under the control of gods and Buddhas are called?"

She spoke softly, and looked at the iron pillar expectantly.

When Tie Zhu heard this, his thoughts in his mind immediately turned around, and then he opened his eyes, his pupils gradually shrank, and his hands trembled on the ground.

"You mean, Ah Xiu they ......"

"Demon. ”

Guanyin's mouth opened lightly, and she silently pronounced a word, and the smile on her face was almost irrepressible after seeing Tie Zhu's current expression.

When Tie Zhu heard this, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body.

"You lied to me!"

His eyes were bloodshot.

"No, no, no, I just promised you to make them immortal, but I didn't promise in any way. ”

Guanyin seemed to be satisfied with Tiezhu's reaction.

"By the way, there is also this place, I promised you to keep it away from the scourge of war, but I can't avoid natural and man-made disasters. ”

At the end of her life, she said again.

Tie Zhu's expression was a little blank.

For a long time, under the interesting gaze of Guanyin.

"Leave. ”

Tie Zhu's eyes became cold, and his voice was a little hoarse, as if he was trying his best to suppress something.

"Look at you, you're almost like us now, the eyes, the tone, and the expression. ”

Guanyin still said to herself.

The iron pillar no longer spoke, his figure flashed, his right hand clenched into a fist, and the strong wind directly smashed into the stone statue vividly, and the power of qi and blood was like a furnace.

"You can smash it, there are thousands of believers in this world, thousands of Buddha statues, have you really smashed them all?"

Guanyin looked at the menacing fist, and a hint of strange color flashed in her eyes, but she was not angry, she seemed to have only come to say these few words, and her compassionate face had disappeared the moment the fist fell.

"Boom. ”

The head of the stone statue suddenly scattered, and the stone dust fell to the ground.

The iron pillar did not stop, but pressed his right hand against the neck of the stone statue with a sudden force, and the rest of it immediately dissipated into powder.

He was the only one left in the huge Buddha hall, empty and silent.

Tie Zhu stood in place and looked at the stone powder with calm eyes, but he held his hands fiercely, and blood dripped from his palms.

"Ah Xiu!

He whispered, as if caught in a demonic obstacle.

Unconsciously, his body seemed to have undergone some kind of change, and a trace of gray qi spread from his body.

His originally black and white eyes had turned gray at some point, and countless gray scriptures appeared in those eyes.

Those scriptures seemed to be alive, and one by one they floated out of his eyes and twisted and twisted, emitting wisps of gray mist, like twisted and struggling figures.

What is terrifying is that the scripture is also accompanied by countless terrifying sorrows that seem to exist from the scriptures, like countless ghosts.

They surround the iron pillars, changing, like ghosts.

"The way of the three burials? Heaven and earth are unfair, take it, the gods and Buddhas are unkind, take it, take it, your own body is insufficient, take it...... Seize all the ways and make up for your own way, swallow all the ways and cast my way...... Capture the ......"

Tie Zhu looked at the scriptures around him, his eyes were quietly watching, and his mouth seemed to be unconsciously speaking, and finally almost turned into a roar, and those scriptures turned into gray human forms and submerged into his mind, forming a strange exercise.

He didn't know how long he had been standing, and he was not awakened until the sound of the white tiger running in the courtyard sounded, and a shadow walked down from the tiger's back, and Ah Xiu slowly walked in.

......

In the distance, in an unknown temple in Dongsheng Shenzhou, a sloppy monk suddenly woke up from a sound sleep, with a strange color in his worried eyes.

"The way of the three burials, the last one has also been understood, it seems that the person who gets my true meaning is not simple...... The dust is about to settle. ”

I saw that he seemed to be saying something, and his eyes were misty.

"Since the Three Burial Sutras, I have realized the way of the Buddha, and the monkey heard that I really understood the way of cutting the sky, but this person has realized ......"

I saw that the monk's expression was suddenly a little shocked when he said this, the five fingers of his right hand kept staggering, his eyes were dark, his eyelids trembled rapidly, and it took a long time before he slowly stopped, and then froze in place, stunned for a long time before he spoke.

"Alas...... What this man has realized...... It's actually humane, variable...... Cultivating Buddha for a thousand years is short, and being a demon for a long time is long, but I don't know if this is an opportunity or a catastrophe for all souls. ”

The monk sighed, and saw that his body gradually glowed, and then an identical monk came out of it, one after another, until nine figures stood in front of the monk.

"This game is about to begin. ”

The monk looked at the nine monks in front of him who looked like him and spoke thoughtfully, and then the words fell, and the nine monks nodded, and then turned into nine clusters of light and fell into various parts of the world.

The monk slowly closed his eyes again, fell asleep on the futon, and fell asleep.

"Foye, Moye, alas!"

A faint sigh rang out, then dispersed.
