The so-called "masters" have always been to evaluate those extraordinary people with unique and extraordinary qualities, and they are by no means some vulgar people who simply have a reputation or wealth!

Qin Hui brought disaster to the country and the people, but after all, he has a reputation and status and wealth that ordinary people can't reach, and what he has is by no means something that many people can dream of, but he can never be regarded as a master!

I have never admired Yue Fei, but I can't deny that as a general, he does have extraordinary traits and abilities in leading troops, so it is definitely not too much to regard him as a "master"!

That's it, the "masters" of the rivers and lakes are never more than killing more people, or saving more people, but the simple martial arts are high enough, and there are no more complex factors!

In fact, heroes and demons are both constantly fighting and dying. And the accidental death of a master is indeed rare. Because most of them don't care about the secular division between good and evil, as Jianghu people, they only pursue the realm of martial arts, or simply as a person's ideological realm, simply to put it simply, the rules of the world can no longer bind them at all.

Obviously, this kind of "master" is very rare, but it is by no means non-existent! As long as the four pillars of the Jade Emperor that we see now, that is, the abbot of the Jade Emperor Temple with the golden top of Emei, the difficult way and the three junior disciples who are difficult to live, difficult to sea, and difficult to live, we can definitely be regarded as the hidden masters of the current rivers and lakes!

Seeing that Banqin was covered in bruises, everyone was helpless. Even Luo Siru's acupuncture could only barely channel his scattered blood qi, but it didn't help his injuries at all! Because the demon's blood poison had been confused with the blood qi in his body, coupled with the excessive consumption of fierce battles, his control power was reduced, causing the blood poison in his own body to spread!

What is unthinkable is that the combined efforts of the Jade Emperor's four pillars can actually suppress the blood poison in Banqin's body.

Returning to the Jade Emperor Temple together, the difficult way asked the disciples to prepare a place for everyone to live, and only put the half-qin into his meditation room, but he never explained a word to others.

Strangeness is inevitable, but everyone understands that if the Four Pillars of the Jade Emperor are really ill-intentioned, they don't have to help at all, as long as they sit back and ignore themselves and the others, they will already be dead. Besides, he has nothing to do with Banqin now, since the Jade Emperor Sizhu may be able to save him, he can only wait quietly......

When Banqin woke up, it had already been two nights and one day. The silence of the surroundings made him think that he had reached the land of Sumeru?

Without warning, he greeted "Are you awake?" Banqin looked stunned, and a face that could only be said to be very old, very old, but very kind came into his eyes.

At that time, Banqin was already in a coma, so he didn't know about being rescued by the Jade Emperor's four pillars. And realizing that he was still alive, he couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart!

Nan Tu understood the soft comfort: "Don't worry! the people in the Demon Palace are gone, and your friends are all right......

Banqin felt a little at ease, and carefully looked at the meditation room he was in, although it was not small, it could be very simple. It's like a futon, and it seems that he is just a thin quilt lying on the ground!

There was a hazy white light outside the window, and Banqin felt a strange feeling in her heart that she couldn't explain and couldn't explain!

After a while, he sighed softly after taking his pulse: "It's really an amazing miracle that you can survive to this day! No wonder Yu Fangsheng spared so much effort to get you, but because of his excessive self-confidence, he finally had to kill you ruthlessly.

Banqin frowned slightly when he heard this: "Dare to ask the master's number?"

"It's hard to get through!"

Feeling that this Dharma name was familiar, Banqin's heart moved: "Could it be that the master is the abbot of the Jade Emperor Temple?"

Smiling and nodding, he pointed to the Buddha statue hanging on the wall of the altar: "Do you think you are familiar with ......?"

Banqin looked sideways, and his face was stunned for a while! It turned out that he found that the Buddha statue hanging on the wall was actually painted by himself when he was seven years old, and at that time, Xuexi originally took a Nanda Sutra to read to him, and then painted it casually on a whim. But then this portrait disappeared inexplicably, and he never took it seriously. If he hadn't seen it suddenly, I'm afraid he would never remember it again in his life.

"Master, what the hell is going on?"

With a long sigh, Nantu stared at the portrait with sadness in his eyes: "You know the story of Nanda, right?"

Banqin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and nodded: "I read some of them a long time ago. ”

"What do you think, Nanda?"

"This ......"

After pondering for a long time, Banqin said slowly: "Nantuo's body is quite mysterious, greedy for the world, transcendent enlightenment, and reincarnation suffering. All gods and Buddhas are preached by the people of the world! Talented and talented, it is not uncommon for them to become Buddhas by doing many evils. But it is a rare story that only Nanda, who was born with compassion, but after becoming a Buddha, was reduced to the six bhikshus who did evil!"

"Then do you think Nanda is qualified to be a Buddha?"

"Well...... it's not a secret, I never believed in the gods and Buddhas in my life, because as I saw it below, the legend of the Buddha realm is the world of bliss, the place where all good people gather, and it is also born to relieve the suffering of the world. But in reality, everyone in the world is greedy and evil. If the Buddha really has a spirit, why should he let the people of the world be sad and suffer for himself? Therefore, in my humble opinion, there are actually many contradictions in the many Buddhist scriptures in the world! Just as in life, there is no dissatisfaction with benevolence and righteousness, but there are many words and deeds that are wrong!"

Nantu listened expressionlessly and asked, "But you seem to have a soft spot for Nanda?"

However, when Nanda was a human being, he coveted his wife, but the Buddha regarded him as being confined to hardship. But if you are in the world, what's wrong with deep affection?"

"But after witnessing the fairies in the heavenly realm, Nanda also forgot his wife who he once coveted!"

"Yes! But I think that people are human beings because the world is vast and manpower is small, and they are struggling to survive! Then it is understandable to strive for the top, even if it is just greed. Otherwise, if everyone can transcend things, isn't the world full of happy land, so why worship the Buddha and recite sutras? Moreover, if the Buddha made Nanda forget his beloved wife with the beauty of the heavenly realm, but abandoned her in hell because of his lust for beauty, how could he escape the suspicion of starting the cause? And if the same thing happened to mortals, I am afraid that it would be pointed out by thousands of people......

Nantu nodded slowly: "What you said is not incomprehensible! But isn't it compassion for my Buddha to make people go through all kinds of situations in the world in order to attain enlightenment?"

I really don't agree with this! Life is varied, existing in the world, the five grains are full, the five flavors are balanced, the five colors are pleasing to the eye, and the five sounds are pleasant. These are not greedy, but necessary! Besides, even if the gods and Buddhas of the heavenly realm are not to be enjoyed by the people of the world by burning incense and praying, and also to be entertained by flying to the heavens? All these things, at least in terms of desires, are no different from Buddhas. And since each has its own preferences, why do they have to tie each other up? As the saying goes: The state has its own laws, and the family has its own rules. Whether it's a Buddha or a human being, if they can do their part, why wouldn't they be more at ease?"

"It's so comfortable!"

"In the humble opinion, the so-called: at ease! is to know oneself and be self-sufficient. Watching it ...... at ease"

After a long time, he sighed softly, although he showed a sense of regret, but his face was quite happy: "In terms of the world alone, the wisdom of the son is indeed far beyond ordinary people! Even if there is no Buddha in the world, if everyone knows how to be at ease like the child, the world can be peaceful...... Childe is willing to listen to the old man tell a story?"

"Master's teachings, listen to ...... below"

There is a saying that "a good beginning is good, and a good end is good!" However, there has never been a shortage of "good beginnings" in the world, but there are few truly convincing "good ends."

A long, long time ago, there was an emperor in a country in the Western Regions who was a benevolent and benevolent monarch, and it can be said that he truly did the urgency of others, the worries of others, and the world before himself!

It is a pity that life is unsatisfactory, the way of heaven is impermanent, grain is not made, and human and animal diseases still come to this country where there is kindness everywhere and the military and the people are happy.

From then on, the emperor personally ploughed with a hoe and prayed for God's mercy. When the plague was raging, he hiked through the country, sucking pus and blood from the mouths of the sick people, and wept with real grief and grief every time he met the dead, and all the subjects of the country were grateful to him!

Perhaps it was his kindness that touched the heavens, and a monk from nowhere came to the country, not only cured the plague of the whole country, but also taught the people a new method of farming and animal husbandry. In just a few years, the whole country has returned to the previous scene of abundant food and clothing, living and working in peace and contentment.

In order to thank the monks for their kindness, the emperor treated him as sincere as a father and brother, and respectfully asked for advice on matters of governing the country and the people, and the monks also did their best to assist.

Seeing the prosperity and strength of this country, the neighboring countries also worshiped it as a superior state and were taught to strengthen themselves. At that moment, people felt like they were living in the paradise of heaven and earth like a legendary god.

However, the people's hearts are insufficient! The once benevolent and merciful emperor deeply felt that he was blessed with the favor of the gods, and if he could remain the king forever in the world, he would certainly be able to benefit all the people of the whole world. There may even be a day when the scope of his rule can reach as far as the sky, completely eliminating all the evil customs in heaven and earth!

As a result, the emperor began to ask the monks for the legendary art of eternal life. However, the emperor was deeply dissatisfied and thought that the monk was unwilling to do his best.

It just so happened that there was a famous sage in the country at that time, who was seriously ill and about to die, and the monk couldn't bear to cook good medicine with many rare medicines and the essence of rare birds and beasts, and actually really saved the sage.

Therefore, the emperor even more determined that the monk was in the immortal law, and the monk said that it was only a medical skill, not an immortal law. The sage was just lying down due to illness, not at the end of his life. The emperor didn't believe it, so he secretly summoned healers and warlocks to collect the world's treasures according to the methods of the monks, and wantonly refined the immortal medicine. Even thinking that the sage was suffering from the disease of "lack of blood", the monk used blood to replenish blood for treatment.

The emperor thought that he could benefit all things in heaven and earth, and a little sacrifice was worth it. So he secretly ordered the priest to collect the essence and blood of the living to make up for his own losses.

After all, the matter was known to the monks, and the emperor did not listen to the advice, but because he had paid a lot but had no results, he was angry with the monks and hammered him to death. Finally, the emperor's violence caused turmoil, and he did not enjoy his good end!

After the fall of the empire, the emperor's descendants survived the siege under the protection of a group of loyal ministers, and have been in exile ever since. From then on, all future generations sincerely worshiped the Buddha and chose the most wise monk among their brothers, hoping to appease the anger of the gods and Buddhas!

At the same time, they spared no effort to help the poor and help the peril. After a few years, as the family grew, they finally found a place to settle. He practiced medicine, traded, and often helped himself to help the poor, and did countless good deeds. And in each generation, there must be a person with the highest level of understanding who has never stopped praying for the whole family of the Buddha all his life.

Yet, like their ancestors, many of them are still carried away by the praise of their exploits and want to regain their unfulfilled ancestral wishes. But their hand is stretched out into the distance, and their good deeds for their country never cease.

Decades ago, a sacrificial monk who took the place of an entire clan was sincerely influenced by the Dharma, knowing full well that the bad karma of the family could not be compensated for by the merits of his own cultivation, and sooner or later he would be punished!

But unfortunately, his painstaking advice did not get the consensus of any of his relatives at all, but was reprimanded by the whole family. So he went away in a fit of rage, determined never to see his people again.

His original intention was to dedicate his life to the Buddha from now on, and no longer pay attention to the troubles of the world. But more than ten years ago, someone suddenly came to the door and revealed all the secrets that should have been impossible to pass on. And I hope he can honor faith and save the common people!

What really shocked him was not the man's tongue and lotus flower, but the portrait of Nanda that he brought, although the brushstrokes were obviously immature, but showed the essence!

Because Nanda has always been the most special, controversial, and extremely ambiguous of all the Buddhas!

It is self-evident that the victim who served the Buddha in place of the whole family is the difficult way, and the person who came to lobby for him to find out his life experience is Xuexi, but it is the Nanda image that Banqin inadvertently drew with the feeling of reading the Buddhist scriptures that really makes him unable to let go of it to this day!

"Many people in Buddhism are secretive about Nanda, because they were originally the Buddha's favorite disciples, but they eventually turned away from the Buddha! However, no matter whether he entered the world or was born, the Buddha's original intention was to sympathize with the world, but his own impression was blurred! After thinking about it carefully, it was indeed Nanda who had changed the true meaning of freedom! Not sad, not pitiful, not happy, not worried. Man is Buddha, Buddha is man, and this is one. That's why he can always be upright no matter where he is!"

Banqin had no interest in Buddhism at all, he just felt that the benevolent monk in front of him would actually be Yu Fangsheng's own uncle, which was really a bit unbelievable!

"Master! The affairs of the world must be settled by the people of the world themselves, I don't think that the master should be guilty of the same crime because he was born in the Demon Palace! So I can only be grateful for the feelings of rescue, but the grievances between me and the Demon Palace are by no means clear in a few words. Since I'm just a mortal, I can't give up everything so easily!"

Nantu nodded lightly: "What the old man said is definitely not to stop you from doing it. I just want you to understand that some things don't start from the beginning!"

"I understand! Whether it is the emperor in the past or the people in the future, all kinds of past are just the laws that the extreme must be reversed! Just like the temporary intolerance of the most good people to those who are full of evil, it will eventually lead to appeasement and adultery, and create more disasters!"

My Buddha also had the act of entering the world to save people, but the old man could not comprehend the world. In comparison, Childe Huigen is really much behind Lao Ke!"

"Don't dare to be!"

"Just ......"

Seeing the compassion on his face, Banqin smiled slightly: "Master don't have to worry about me, I know that my life will be short! ”

Frowning slightly, he hesitated and asked, "You seem to have entered the Demon Palace?"

"Exactly! I also thought that I would be able to dissolve the blood poison in my body by learning to become a Demon Palace master, but after this time, I realized that the deeper my own skills, the more harmful the blood poison would only be promoted! From now on, I am afraid that there is really no way to save me in the world!"

Seeing him say these words calmly, he couldn't help but feel shocked and sad in his heart! What was surprising was that he was so young and could be so simple and thorough about life and death. People with such tragic things are so ill-fated that it is difficult to die well!

After a long time, Nantu took out a booklet from under the futon and handed it to him with both hands: "This Nanda Sutra is obtained by the old man from the Persian Spiritual Sect when he was young, and he has devoted his life to it for decades! Although it may not be able to help the son avoid misfortune, if he cultivates wholeheartedly, he may be able to delay the onset of blood poison ......!"

Banqin frowned slightly, and the outstretched hand couldn't help but hesitate in mid-air. He was brutalized by the Demon Palace, and he was already miserable in this life, if he was saved by the people in the Demon Palace in the end, how could he be embarrassed? And after all, the difficult way is from the Demon Palace, if he gets his help to exchange his life but finally destroys his entire clan, how can the old man deal with himself?

As if seeing his worries, Nantu sighed lightly: "When my Tao is not prosperous, heaven and man are in harmony. Today, if you go to the other side, you will eventually turn your head empty! The son has a benevolent heart, and he can still realize the source of the root of the curse with the idea of saving the common people, which is really a great merit!"

Banqin looked at the old monk deeply, and couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart! But there seemed to be a very strange resistance that he couldn't understand. But even so, he finally took the Nanda Sutra. Because no matter what, you have something you have to do......
