Chapter 248: Remnant Soul
Actually, Dule and Huineng, they don't know that this matter is all instructed by Manjushri Bodhisattva, although they are both Buddhist people, but they will not communicate with each other at will about the things instructed by these Bodhisattvas, let alone Manjushri Bodhisattva.
Therefore, even if Durle and Hui Neng gave the Bodhisattva a signal, they wanted to do the same thing, but they didn't know that the other party also gave the same instruction to Manjushri.
For Huineng's cultivation, Du Le couldn't see through, so he thought in his heart that it would be better for him to do this matter, after all, that wisp of remnant soul did die at the hands of Huineng before his death, and it was more suitable than himself in terms of emotion and reason.
Hui Neng could see that Du Le had been on the road for a long time, and he had not stopped halfway, and since the matter had been taken over by himself, he asked him to prepare a room for Du Le, and asked him to eat something first, and then go to bed to rest, because after spending this wisp of remnant soul, it may have to wait until tomorrow morning.
As for why it was so difficult, Huineng did not explain it to Dule, but the latter also believed that he would not deceive, so he immediately said goodbye to him and left with the monks below.
After Dule left, Huineng sent the following monks to summon nine monks who were good at practicing the law.
Although Hui Neng was the only one who did the Dharma when he actually cast the Dharma to save people, he still called nine monks who often performed the Dharma to come and recite the Sutras.
When he first met the snake spirit Xiaoqing before, it may be because he had never encountered such a thing, or because he was nervous, Huineng did not find that Xiaoqing's body contained the breath of a true dragon.
In fact, this can't be blamed on Hui Neng, because the locking that imprisoned the snake spirit, while fixing Xiaoqing's actions, also covered up the true dragon aura on its body, if it wasn't deliberately checked, it would be impossible to be found at all.
However, Hui Neng didn't think about it that much at that time, he would never have thought that in a cave on Qingliang Mountain, the ordinary snake spirit confined in a damp cave would actually belong to the dragon species.
It was also this negligence of Huineng that led him to not completely transform the yin soul on Xiaoqing's body, and the wisp of remnant soul left behind was the remnant soul of the true dragon.
When Nini woke up, that was when Xiaoqing's remnant soul really merged with her body.
Maybe Danqing left too much impression on Nini, or for some other reason, when her own ghost was ostracized, she actually sent a distress signal to Danqing.
It is precisely because of this that Danqing felt a severe headache when Nini woke up.
As for this distance of thousands of miles, how could Danqing feel Nini's distress message, so that his body could react accordingly?
It turns out that the reason for this is about Danqing's awakening, when he returned to the vegetable garden to be with his brother-in-law's family, he was very concerned about his niece Nini, so that when he learned that his brother-in-law's family was missing, Nini infiltrated into the deepest part of his heart.
Because Danqing is over sixteen years old, he has some signs of awakening, and he has some special feelings for the things that are stored in the depths of his heart, just like Nini's request for help this time he can know, but he doesn't know the specific content, but no matter what the content is, it can affect his soul, which leads him to abnormal head pain.
It was because he was only affected by his soul that ordinary people couldn't find out the cause of Danqing's headache.
As for Sima Yu and Ren Feiyang, although they have a certain amount of cultivation, they are not good at the ethereal breath summoning, they can feel ordinary yin soul things, but Nini's power of faith cannot.
However, when the national teacher Dule followed the master to practice in Buddhism, he was exposed to these things, and to be precise, the Zen that Buddhism people practice is the power of faith.
Therefore, after Dule arrived, he discovered Danqing's illness, but this illness did not make him any danger, as long as Nini's belief in distress disappeared, he could return to his normal state.
Once the first belief is not known to the person who is being involved, the same force of belief is emitted again, and it will not have a more visible effect on the recipient.
The influence of this power of belief will become weaker and weaker with the increasing number of times.
What's more, Danqing is not fully awakened now, and it is impossible to know what content is passed on, but the soul can be affected by it, making him have a splitting headache.
If Nini's beliefs are interrupted, Danqing's headache will disappear.
Of course, when Xiaoqing's remnant soul and Nini are truly fused, she will no longer have a subconscious belief in asking for help.
Therefore, even if Dule does not rush to Qingliang Mountain and does not take part in this matter, it will not be long before Danqing will recover to a normal state unharmed.
However, not to mention Sima Yu and others, even Dule, he didn't know that this was the case, he just thought that he needed to remove the root cause that was implicated with Danqing before Danqing could be safe and sound.
Taking a step back, all that Dule could feel was the existence of Xiaoqing's wisp of remnant soul, thinking that the power of faith was emitted by that wisp of remnant soul, so he temporarily closed Danqing's acupoint and set off to Qingliang Mountain to transform that wisp of remnant soul.
Huineng was suddenly instructed by the Bodhisattva to know the existence of Xiaoqing's wisp of remnant soul, but the Bodhisattva's real meaning was not to let him transform that wisp of remnant soul, otherwise he would not have waited until Dule came before he could do it.
By the time Dule came to the Manjushri Monastery, Xiaoqing's remnant soul had already merged with Nini, and the so-called remnant soul had disappeared.
As for the deep meaning of Manjushri's actions, only he may know, but Huineng has not, and he does not dare, and is suspicious of what the Bodhisattva has instructed.
Therefore, after the nine monks below arrived, Hui Neng gave some instructions, and then began to cast spells to save the soul.
When casting the spell, Hui Neng quickly felt that wisp of remnant soul existed, because of the Bodhisattva's instructions, he had not been able to use his magic power to find this remnant soul, but he didn't know that the wisp of remnant soul he was transforming at the moment, although it was also a yin soul containing the breath of a true dragon, was no longer owned by Xiaoqing.
It's just that the true dragon breath contained in this wisp of remnant soul and Xiaoqing's wisp of remnant soul belong to the same dragon species.
Therefore, Huineng didn't find that what he was doing at the moment was not Xiaoqing's remnant soul.
Although the remnant soul had been replaced, the time and energy required to transform it had not decreased, but rather increased, and it was not until the hour and hour in the morning that Hui Neng had completely transformed the remnant soul.
According to Huineng's previous understanding of Xiaoqing, although it was only a simple understanding, he could also estimate that he would be able to transform that remnant soul by about the time of the hour, but he didn't expect it to take an extra hour or so.
For such a result, Hui Neng's heart naturally had doubts, first of all, what he doubted was his own cultivation ability, whether he had regressed, or overestimated himself.
Hui Neng didn't think about the problem of the remnant soul at all, because this Yin Soul containing the breath of a true dragon was also the first time he had been transformed, and even the first time he had come into contact with it.
In the end, Huineng didn't really think about it, he just thought it was his own problem.
However, the good thing is that this wisp of remnant soul has finally been spent, and Huineng will be able to make a difference, not only to Dule, but more importantly, to complete what the Bodhisattva has instructed.
At the time of the morning class, Durle was already up, and although he had been out for many years, he still maintained the habit of doing morning and evening classes.
It's just that because he came to the Zen monastery today, Du Le didn't give a lesson in the room, but got up and went to the main hall, ready to be with the monks of the Zen monastery.
After coming to the main hall, Du Le Fang found that the ritual of Naduhua was still in progress, seeing this situation, he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart, "It's been more than four hours, it seems that there will be a while before the end, it's just a wisp of remnant Yin Soul, can it take so long?"
Although he was puzzled, he did not enter the temple to disturb him, nor did he return to his room to do the morning service, but stayed outside the hall and waited for the end of the ceremony.
Later, the monks who came to prepare for the morning service, seeing this situation, also stayed outside the hall to watch the presiding over the practice.
However, it was only a short time before the monks were dismissed by the monks who came after them, and they were told to return to their rooms for their morning lessons.
Naturally, Dule did not retreat, not to mention that he was not under the management of the Zen Monastery, even if the Dharma affairs that were going on there were also related to him, how could he retreat.
It's okay to delay the morning class for a day, but if this matter can't be solved, there will be a lot of troublesome things later.
The steward also knew that the presiding over the Dharma that he was doing now was for the sake of this foreign monk, so he did not say anything to drive him away, but he stayed outside the hall like Dule, but he was to prevent other monks who wanted to enter the temple or wanted to stay here.
Although there are differences between Chinese and Western Buddhism, the hierarchy of personnel in this monastery is roughly the same.
Du Le glanced at the steward monk standing beside him again, and he found a problem, since he came to the monastery, from Huineng leading the monks out to greet him, to today's monks coming to conduct the morning class, he has not seen a monk who is a brother and sister relationship with Huineng.
Although it is a cultivator who does not say how long he lives, Du Le can also see that Huineng's age is not very large, and he is even much younger than himself, and he is a little surprised to be the presiding officer of this academy at such a young age.
That's not all, Du Le is even more curious, how could Huineng not have a senior brother, if so, how could he not even see one?
