Chapter 17: Reincarnation of Mustard Seeds

It was the height of summer, and the afternoon sun was still scorching, as if it was venting the dissatisfaction of the night, splashing the hot sun on the earth. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoThe hot ground, the stagnant breeze, the frothy brook, and the drowsy unknown finches all survive under its obscenity.

Suddenly, the sound of feet stepping on dead branches could be heard on the mountain road, and the eyes of the birds, which had been sleepy, widened as if they wanted to know who would be hurrying in such weather.

I saw a white figure walking around the corner, and when he got closer, it turned out to be an old monk, with a thin body, long eyebrows and cheeks, wearing a moon-white monk's robe, holding a magic wand in his hand, and wearing sandals on his feet.

I saw him walk to the middle of the mountain road, suddenly stopped, and said to the north: "It has disappeared again, why is it that the closer you get, the weaker your sense becomes." And so he walked and stopped, as if he was constantly orienting, looking for something.

"Drink, I planted this tree, I opened this road, if you want to pass from here, leave the road to buy money. Just as the old monk was walking and stopping, a bearded man jumped out of the forest, brandished a sharp knife, and shouted at the old monk.

So there was a comical scene of robbers robbing monks in broad daylight.

The old monk obviously didn't expect this to happen, and was stunned for a moment, and before he could speak, the robber patted his head with the blade of his knife, and said to himself: "Damn, it's really unlucky." Lao Tzu hasn't opened meat for so long, but I didn't expect to meet a monk, bad luck, bad luck. After saying that, he spat on the ground again and again, as if he wanted to wash away all the bad luck.

The old monk smiled slightly, and gave a Buddha name and said, "Donor, why are you a strong man here?"

The bearded man snorted again and said, "If you can't eat, you're about to starve to death, so what will you do if you don't come out to be a strongman." I'm unlucky today, I met you, an old monk, and I don't think you have any property, so you get out of here, so as not to be unlucky. ā€

The old monk didn't take a step, but continued to give gifts, saying: "The donor does it for his life, which is understandable, but you must know that all living beings are equal, if you live and starve others to death, how can the donor bear it." ā€

The old monk wanted to get a high monk, and in such a situation, he ran away after changing others, but he wanted to save this thief in the spirit of the Buddha.

The bearded man seemed impatient, waved his hand holding the sharp knife, and said, "I don't care who he dies, as long as I don't die." Old monk, if you are told to get out, get out quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind to you. ā€

Suddenly, the bearded man's eyes lit up, and he said as if he had made a discovery: "Old monk, you are a monk, and you can't bear to see people starve to death." I see that the staff in your hand seems to be gold-plated, and you can exchange it for a few dollars if you hold it, or you will be a Buddha and give it to me, right?"

The old monk whispered to Amitabha Buddha and said, "The Buddha once cut meat to feed the eagle, how can I compare with the Buddha." As long as you can live, don't say that this rod is given to you, but what does it matter if my flesh and bones are given to you. ā€

"Don't be verbose, what do I want you to do with your flesh and bones, bring the staff quickly. The bearded man shouted.

The old monk saluted and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, you can give the cane, but the donor needs to agree to the old man." ā€

"What?"

"You need the donor to first explain why you want to be a strong man here. ā€

The bearded man was stunned, as if he had never expected the old monk to tell him a story, waved the sharp knife in his hand, walked to the stone in the shade and sat down, as if he was answering and seemed to be talking to himself, but the sadness in his tone became stronger, and said: "Why am I here, hehe, it's not the way of this world, black and white, good and evil, doesn't it say that good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil, bullshit." I originally lived in a small town in Bingzhou, both old and young, and I was also on an errand in Yamen, so my life was not rich but I lived comfortably......"

Speaking of this, he seemed to arouse the hatred in his heart, and said ruthlessly: "Who knew that the son of the state order took a fancy to my family's ancestral house and secretly let me go to other places to escort the prisoners, so he sent someone to rob them." The family resisted and was beaten to death. When I came back, I was so sad and indignant that I went to my superiors to complain, but I didn't expect that the officials would protect me, not only did they not convict the evil of the young man, but they also wrongly said that the prisoner I escorted had run away and put me in prison for dereliction of duty. Fortunately, I usually treat people well, and secretly released me while the cell was changing shifts. In a fit of rage, I killed all the evil young family's family and avenged my family. Wanted by state order, he fled here. Old monk, you say, don't they deserve to die?"

"Amitabha, when is the time for retribution. Born from the heart, there must be a cause and effect, how can the donor escape karma?"

"Old monk, I have already told me why I am here, you can give me the staff quickly. Otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind. The bearded man jumped up from the stone, the sharp knife in his hand pointed at the old monk.

The old monk threw his wand at the bearded man and said, "Donor, you can take it." Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground, and turn back to the shore. Seeing that you are destined for the Buddha and the Buddha is destined for the Buddha, can the donor go with the old man?"

"Ha, come with you, is there any wine to drink and meat to eat in your temple?" said the bearded man with a loud laugh.

"No, but there is a light in the heart, a tile of land, to overcome all suffering, and to cut off the cause and effect of the world. The old monk gave a Buddhist salute.

The bearded man listened and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about, but I have my life on my side and I went to your temple, can I escape the arrest of the government?"

The old monk smiled slightly and said, "Buddhism is originally quiet, how can mundane things disturb it." ā€

When the bearded man heard this, he groaned slightly, and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." I don't know where the Master's Dharma Temple is?"

The old monk saluted and said, "Foxiang Mountain, Fanming Temple." ā€

The bearded man was taken aback and said, "That's the holy land of Buddhism, you must be the enlightened monk of Fanming Temple." Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship. As he spoke, he approached and knelt down and kowtowed.

The old monk held his hands on his hands, and just wanted to help the bearded man to complete a scene of merit.

Suddenly, the ground suddenly changed and protruded, and I saw the old monk shouting, his voice seemed to be full of pain, the golden light of his whole body suddenly rose, and his hands conjured up Buddha handprints, hitting the bearded man. As if he was prepared, the bearded man stood up, his hands danced into a decision, and he dissolved the attack of the Buddha seal, and the two sides floated away for a few feet before stopping.

"Hahaha, old monk Zhikong, how does it taste like to be the world's first strange poison 'not to die in vain'?" the bearded man laughed after landing on the ground. I saw that the blood coming out of the old monk's lower abdomen quickly stained half of the monk's robe, and it was thick black, and the smell was extremely fishy.

The old monk's face was golden, and it was obvious that he was using his heart to fight against the poison in his body with all his might, and after a while, I saw him use the two fingers of his right hand to quickly tap around the wound in his lower abdomen, temporarily controlling the spread of the poison.

The old monk of Zhikong slowly opened his eyes and said to the bearded man: "The 'Immortal Death' strange poison is produced in the depths of the swamp of the last days in the southwest, and it is easy not to be born, dare to ask which elder of the Eternal Life Hall is the donor?"

The bearded man laughed again and replied, "No, I'm not from the Eternal Life Hall. After speaking, he gently stroked his face with his right hand, and his body changed from a bearded man to an old man with crane hair and a childish face.

Monk Zhikong cast the Buddha's name and said: "Amitabha, it turned out to be the Heavenly Evil Old Man Huang Evil benefactor of the Holy Demon Sect, I haven't seen him for a hundred years, and the deeper the donor's Taoism is, the deeper he can suppress his own cultivation from being discovered by the old man." It's just that I don't know why Huang Shizhu laid this trap to deal with Lao Wei?"

The Heavenly Evil Old Man smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a hundred years, but the deeper your skills, old monk, I can't imagine that even the world's first strange poison can't control you." I am here today, not for anything else, but to borrow the reincarnation mustard seed from you. The old man guarantees his personality and returns it as soon as he uses it up. ā€

Zhikong shouted the Buddha's name and said, "It turns out that the donor is here today for the reincarnation of mustard seeds, I wonder how the donor knows that the reincarnated mustard seeds are on the old man's body?"

"You don't have to pay attention to this, I only ask you, do you want to borrow it?" asked the Heavenly Evil Old Man.

"Amitabha, the reincarnation of mustard seeds is the treasure of my Fanming Temple, which is the ancestral heirloom of my patriarch, and the monks of my temple are not allowed to hold it, and I can't obey my fate. Monk Zhikong replied.

"Monk Zhikong, don't toast or eat and drink, you must know that you have been poisoned now, and your skills have been greatly damaged, and you may not be able to get benefits from fighting with me. The Heavenly Evil Old Man shouted angrily.

"A hundred years ago, in the battle of Tianxin Valley, Lao Wei had to be conceded by the donor and won one and a half moves. Although Lao Qu is not talented, and now he has been poisoned, but if he wants to use Huang Shizhu's skills, if he wants Lao Qu to hand over the reincarnated mustard seeds, he still can't. ā€

The Heavenly Evil Old Man snorted angrily: "Old Monk Zhikong, the battle a hundred years ago was all about you so-called righteous path despicable and shameless, setting a trap, otherwise with my Holy Sect disciples, how could they be defeated." Hmph, I admit that with my current ways, I am still inferior to yours, but ......"

"But why do you think that the Heavenly Evil was able to disguise himself just now and deceive you so easily?" Before the Heavenly Evil Old Man finished speaking, a female voice of ecstasy sounded in the forest.
