Chapter 59: Half of the Diamond Sutra
Qiangliang's second sermon went ahead as scheduled. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe scale of the sermon this time was unprecedented, in addition to the demons and monsters who had come to listen to the sermon from a radius of hundreds of miles, some cultivators from farther away also came to the black shop one after another. After all, although it may not be something profound, it can be used for mutual reference, and there are not many people who are willing to disclose their spiritual experience. Of course, they didn't know that what Qiang Liang was talking about was not a spiritual experience at all, but just some common remarks in his later life.
Unlike in the past, there were even many Terrans coming to this sermon. They usually come in the mood of pilgrimage to meet the good sages, and then sit quietly in the corner, ready to listen to the sermon. Because of the relationship with Jiujie that used to fight together, Jiujie usually took extra care, especially when it heard them call themselves "big husbands".
Of course, it wasn't so smooth, there were two immortal-level demons who caused public outrage because they grabbed the top seats, but everyone was not an opponent, so they all complained to the presiding officer of the festival, Master Jiujie, although Jiujie seemed to only have the level of earth immortals.
So in Jiujie's disdainful gaze, Tianlong and Dashi Zhi had one demon head per person, pinching and kneading the demon head like kneading dough, and then swallowing it in one gulp, no one dared to make trouble anymore. Now that all industries in the desolate world have withered, the Golden Immortal is already a great master! And as soon as the black shop came, there were two Golden Immortal Protectors, who would dare to provoke them! Especially after Tianlong and Dashi Zhi only burped after swallowing the devil, no one dared to speak loudly, let alone move around.
Therefore, on the whole, Jiujie felt very satisfied with the atmosphere of this sermon. Moreover, he conscientiously compared the statement in the article "On the Flood of the Ten Relationships" through practice, and there is a relationship in it that talks about "the weak eat the strong, and the strong are respected." So when it was found that there were two demons who didn't know whether they were monsters or elves or something else, Jiujie asked that the two "Dharma protectors" must "eat each other alive", as for whether the two bald heads would have adverse reactions after swallowing those two monsters, it was not within its scope of consideration - with the benefit of the big shopkeeper, they could not contribute!
Therefore, although extremely reluctant, Tianlong and Dashi Zhi still swallowed the two demons alive according to the requirements of the second shopkeeper Jiujie......
A bell rang, this is the sound of the Falling Soul Bell, since the battle with the strong nameless bell, the Great Trend Zhi no longer uses this small and delicate magic weapon as a magic weapon, the Falling Soul Bell has purely become a tool to remind everyone in the black shop of time, and it is popular with everyone! After a long time, the general trend is not ashamed but proud. Of course, in addition to the Soul Clock, there is only one tool for working in the black shop to tell the time, which is Tianlong's wooden fish magic weapon, "Bell Ring" and "Bang", and the sound is extremely harmonious!
As the bell tone gradually decreased, Qiang Liang came to the counter with a solemn face, and then sat cross-legged on the counter. Looking around, he was very satisfied with everyone's seriousness and quietness, so he opened his mouth and said: "If I heard it, for a while, the Buddha gave the lonely garden a ...... in the tree of the country" An hour later, after repeating the first half of the "Diamond Sutra" in later generations, Qiang Liang stopped, on the one hand, he felt that he had enough, on the other hand, he couldn't remember the things that followed. I wanted to talk nonsense, but I was worried about inconsistencies, the words did not reach the meaning, and the gap was too big to arouse suspicion, so I gave up. Then he said, "That's all for today's sermon, do you have anything to ask? You have three questions to ask!" Now he may have experienced a big scene, and instead of praying like in the first sermon, "Don't ask questions", he believes that with his current experience, he can still be sure if he wants to fool the people. And most importantly, he deliberately left a few questions in the scriptures in order to entice the audience to ask questions about these questions.
There was silence below, Qiang Liang didn't expect it to be cold, so he paid it back, and hurriedly gave Jiujie a look. Jiujie had already been arranged by Qiang Liang, so it used its thick front hooves to quietly poke Tianlong and ask him to ask questions. Tianlong suddenly woke up from the essence of Buddhism that Qiang Liang said, looking at the unkind eyes of the nine precepts, he quickly cheered up, and it was just right for him to be able to ask questions, so he directly asked a question that he had doubts from the beginning: "I first heard that there is a powerful Buddha in the world, but I don't know why the Buddha is sacred?"
There was a joy under a strong conscience: Sure enough, the first question of the Honghuang people, who had never heard of the species of "Buddha", was to ask what "Buddha" was, which was exactly what he had prepared to say. So he pretended to be solemn and said: "A Buddha is a saint, but a saint is not only a Buddha!"
Tianlong hurriedly thanked him, and continued to ask questions, how could Qiang Liang let him ask questions again, in case he asked a tricky question, it would be repaid! But fortunately, Jiujie was finally not so stupid this time, and it hurriedly stopped Tianlong and said: "Don't ask again, otherwise there will be a suspicion that the big shopkeeper is biased in favor of the black shop!"
Tianlong had to sit down, but he was satisfied to know that the shopkeeper's lecture was the way of a saint, and he only felt that this sermon was profound, enough for him to consult for a long time.
The general trend was originally eager to try, but looking at Jiujie, it seemed that he didn't see himself at all, so he had to sit behind Tianlong and honestly refer to the scriptures.
Qiang Liang was going to find another stupid-looking guy to ask questions, but he suddenly saw a demon who was suddenly covered in golden light, and he had broken through from the peak of human immortals to earth immortals. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "It is said that 'put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground', 'Buddha is a good demon, and a demon is a Buddha who does evil', and there is really some truth." ā
He also had an excuse to end the sermon, so he ignored the eager eyes of the crowd and said, "It seems that you have gained something from this sermon, so this sermon is over!" and then got up and walked to the backyard.
The demons, demons, monsters, and Terran cultivators, as well as the people in the black shop, although they were reluctant, still got up one after another, and at the same time shouted in unison: "Congratulations to the teacher!" Then they left the gifts they brought, and left in twos and threes, hurriing back to consult the essence of the scriptures.
Every spirit who had heard Qiang Liang's first sermon sighed in his heart: "The shopkeeper is really unfathomable, this sermon is obviously not the same as the first sermon, but it is equally profound and abnormal! I really don't know where the shopkeeper smelled such a wonderful scripture." It seems that next time I have to continue to find some precious things as Xie Yi, otherwise I am afraid that the shopkeeper will have reservations like this and previous sermons. The shopkeeper came up with such a profound and profound meaning to preach, if I can't come up with a reasonable thank you, I shouldn't wait!"
Qiang Liang didn't know that the helpless act of choosing Buddhist scriptures for the second sermon actually brought such benefits, so that later Qiang Liang, under the difficulty of being gracious, had to break his mind again and again, scratching his ears and cheeks to think of some later generations of cultivation articles to preach, of course, in the end, he also indirectly achieved his reputation as the king of wisdom - this is a later story, not to mention for the time being!
