Chapter 9: Masters of Tomorrow

Jingyi is really a good monk, just for a sentence, he took the seriously injured Mu Xinshu, did everything possible to escape the eyes of hundreds of disciples of Shuxin Gate, and finally returned to Yakuo Temple.

Yakuoji Temple is a large sect, and compared to Shuxinmen, Yakuoji Temple looks much more magnificent. Yaowang Temple is located in the middle of Qinyin Mountain, covering an area of hundreds of acres, countless houses and fields, thousands of monks and disciples in the temple, and many masters!

Master Tomorrow, the abbot of Yakuoji Temple, was a plain-looking drooping old man, with sparse white hair, fine and dry wrinkles on his face, and only a pair of big dark eyes, sometimes flashing a little fluorescent. Master Tomorrow was dressed in a gray monk's robe, shabby and monotonous, with several patches embroidered on it clearly visible. Wearing black cloth shoes on his feet, he walks steadily but not slowly, quite a master's style.

"Jingyi!" Master Tomorrow opened his mouth slightly, his voice was low, elegant and kind. Hearing this, the monk Jing Yi in the back hurriedly took two steps forward, standing quietly behind Master Tomorrow in a regular manner, bowing his head and chin his head, not daring to make a mistake at all.

Jing Yi cautiously raised his head, glanced at his master, and saw that after the master of tomorrow shouted, his face was as usual, Jing Yi carefully folded his hands and said, "Back to the master, the apprentice is here!"

"What is a Buddha?" Master Tomorrow looked to be over seventy or eighty years old, but he was still full of energy and loud when he spoke!

Jing Yi calmed down and replied slowly, "The Buddha crosses the world, the Buddha is destined to be a person, and the Buddha is in the hearts of people!"

"What is a Buddha?" Master Tomorrow did not look back, and he couldn't feel the change in Master Tomorrow's mood from his tone, but Shizuichi frowned slightly, and followed Master Tomorrow's footsteps slightly.

"Buddha is all living beings, everything is Buddha, the Dharma is boundless, and the world admires it!" Jingyi felt that something in his heart was clogged, and when facing the master of tomorrow, there was always such a shackle pressing on his neck, which made Jingyi feel very uncomfortable.

"What is a Buddha?" Master Tomorrow didn't seem to have any other words, and was still walking in front, but when he said four words, it made Jingyi completely panicked. Repeatedly answering the master's questions incorrectly made Jing Yi feel a lot of pressure in his heart.

"Buddha ......" Jingyi finally hesitated, searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, thinking about everything he had learned in Yakuoji Temple in the past ten years, but he couldn't find any words to answer such a seemingly simple question as Master Tomorrow!

Master Tomorrow finally stopped, stood quietly on the side of the road, turned around, and looked at Jing Yi who was uneasy in front of him with kind eyes, "You have gone through five days, and you have been bumpy all the way, and finally brought that Shuxinmen disciple back to Yaowang Temple, have you ever regretted it?"

Jing Yi was slightly stunned, folded his hands, and said Amitabha, the expression on his face changed several times, but he finally sighed and shook his head, "Amitabha! The little monk does have remorse! Master, it's not that the little monk doesn't save him when he sees death." But at that time, this person was too brazen, and he used self-harm to win the sympathy of the little monk, and under the pretext that the Buddhist family revealed that saving people's lives was better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, the little monk had to take him back to Yaowang Temple!"

The master of tomorrow stood quietly in front of Jingyi, silently did not speak for a long time, the appearance of not moving like a mountain, his face sinking like water, the monk Jingyi was frightened!

Master Tomorrow suddenly looked up at the sky, lowered his head and said to Jingyi, "Let me ask you, was that person seriously injured at that time?"

"It's really seriously injured!" Jing Yi's face was gloomy, although Mu Xinshu at that time, although he was self-harming, but it was indeed in front of him, a few holes were poked out of his chest, and Jing Yi bowed his head.

Master Tomorrow smiled, "That being the case, why do you have remorse? The Buddha said, saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, the Buddha said that virtue is loaded, and tolerance is great." The Buddha's words are between good and evil. Buddha cloud is the cause, then the effect, everything is destined. All beings are equal, and saving lives has nothing to do with good or evil. ”

Jing Yi was shocked, hurriedly clasped his hands together, bowed his head, and bowed his head, "Amitabha! The apprentice is taught, and the little monk obeys the master's teachings! The Buddha crosses all sentient beings, without color and appearance, without anger and madness." ”

Master Tomorrow smiled, stretched out his palm, and gently rubbed it on the smooth head of Monk Jingyi, "Your cultivation is too shallow, untempered by the world, and your heart is like a child, with a clear distinction between love and hate. What is a Buddha? Buddha is wisdom and enlightenment, and the practice of Buddhism lies in enlightenment, understanding the true meaning of life, and also understanding the truth of life. ”

A dry and wrinkled palm rubbed against the top of his head, but Shizuichi felt an unprecedented peace of mind, relaxation and joy. "Amitabha! Little monk keep it in mind, thank you Master for your teachings!"

Master Tomorrow smiled and shook his head, let go of his hand, pointed at the tip of Jingyi's nose, and said lightly, "No! Although I am your master, I only teach you martial arts, and the comprehension of Buddhism is free in people's hearts! It is not that I teach you, but that you and I practice together and make progress together! You and I are like two mirrors, reflecting all things!"

Jingyi felt that his mind was covered with clouds and mountains, and what Master Tomorrow said felt a little esoteric and difficult to understand. But Master Tomorrow didn't talk to him in detail anymore, but just said softly, "Starting tomorrow, I will allow you to go down the mountain to practice, for one year or ten years." Only by tasting all the hardships in the world and having mixed tastes can we realize the subtlety and profundity of Buddhism, and make a natural breakthrough in martial arts cultivation. ”

Jingyi opened his mouth suddenly, and looked at the smiling Master of Tomorrow in front of him with a look of surprise, and after a long time, Jingyi said in a daze, "Master, this...... The cultivation of the little monk is low, and the Dharma is shallow, how can he retreat in the outside world of flowers?"

"Stubborn, you think about it!" "Master Tomorrow smiled, as if this was a thing worthy of his great joy, "Cause and effect are destined by God, and people can't change too much." However, the donor of the pastoral book is destined for my Buddha, and the poor monk specially asked you to cross him. Otherwise, without the restraint of the Self Buddha, it will evolve into a monstrous demon in the future, which will be a great catastrophe in the Sutra Cultivation Continent!"

"What?" Jing Yi exclaimed in shock, then realized that he was out of shape, and hurriedly guarded his mind, "Amitabha! Master, how is this possible? That pastoral book donor is just an ordinary person who has cultivated the second meridian. How can you become a monstrous demon and bring disaster to the world?"

Master Tomorrow put away the smile on his face and said cautiously and seriously: "The Buddha has a cloud, good and evil in a year, if there is a cause, there will be an effect. At this time, if you plant a good fruit by his side, you may be able to influence sentient beings and purify the world in the future! After you go down the mountain, you can follow him, if you can cross the mountain, your merits will be immeasurable, and it will not be difficult to achieve the eighth meridian, and the Bodhi golden body!"

Jing showed surprise on his face, although he didn't want to see Mu Xinshu again, but he was also overjoyed when he heard the words, "Amitabha! The little monk must follow the master's teachings, enlighten the donor of the Mu Xinshu, create merit for thousands of years, and spread Buddhism in the world!"
