Chapter Ninety-Eight: Answering Questions Is Not the One Who Asked

How many flowers are there on this tree? There are no more than 365 branches, and only one flower blooms on one branch, so there are 365 flowers. But in reality there are not only 365 kinds of flowers that will bloom on this tree, because the flowers on this tree will bloom with the joy and anger of the monk, and when the monk is happy, the flowers of a tree will bloom, and when the monks are sad and sorrowful, the flowers of a tree will wither. When the branches of the withered flowers fall, the flowers that bloom from the branches will not necessarily be the same as before, but probably another flower other than the previous three hundred and sixty-five species.

So are the flowers on this tree endless? Not really, at least there are two kinds of flowers that would never appear on the tree. The first is a flower that the monk has never seen before, and it will never appear on the branches of this strange tree. On the other hand, there is a flower between heaven and earth, and even if this monk has seen it with his own eyes, he will not be able to make it appear on his extremely strange flower tree, and that is the flower of heavenly will! The flower of heavenly will is the true spirit of heaven and earth, so it is absolutely impossible for it to appear on this monk's flowering tree in such a way.

This tree is a real thing and not an illusion, but it can turn a divine thought into a tangible and visible flower, which can be said to be an extremely special magic weapon, and it can even be said to be an artifact. That's why it can follow this monk's haunting and unpredictable. As long as the monk is, the flower tree will appear behind him.

A monk under a blooming flower tree, such a special monk is of course very famous among the Buddhist sect and even in the spiritual world. This monk's Dharma name is the Spirit King, and it is the Dharma seat of the Dahui Temple of Wuxiangfeng.

Before the Lingwang monk entered the Buddhist practice, he was a cultivator of a family in the cultivation world. When he was a teenager, his cultivation was enough to make him proud of his peers, and therefore he was very complacent and arrogant. But also because of this arrogance, the Lingwang monk formed a grudge with another family cultivator under very accidental circumstances. What is unexpected is that it is this unintentional feud that led to the merger of the two major cultivation families, and the final result was that the two major cultivation families died together. Only the Spirit King Monk remained.

The Lingwang monk felt very guilty for this, thinking that it was he who let all his family members die, so he had a huge disgust for the magic spells, and went to the world alone, and since then he has been incognito and no longer practiced. But after wandering in the world for a few years, the Lingwang monk met a Buddhist monk under a dead tree by chance, and the monk asked him a question, can the dead tree bloom again? But the spirit king monk was under the dead tree because of this. One stop is a full seven days.

Seven days later, the Lingwang monk broke off a branch from the dead tree, left the world and returned to the cultivation world, and went directly to the Wuxiang Peak Dahui Temple to worship under the monk's seat, and since then he has become a practicing monk in the Dahui Temple, and the dead branch has been with the Lingwang monk. Until one day, the dead branches were gone, but there was a small tree behind the Spirit King monk. And then later. The small tree grew into a big tree, and the big tree pulled out its branches. The first flowers bloomed on the branches. Then it gets out of control, and the more flowers bloom, the more and more flowers bloom, and the tree becomes a flower tree. Buddhism also has an additional great cultivator of the Dharma Soul King, and that was thirty years ago!

In just a few breaths, the three monks of a mortal life, a great Zhizang, and a spirit king raised questions one after another. Yifan Ming and Daru Zhizang just told the monks that they were confused, but it wasn't until the Lingwang monk spoke. It is already talking about all the attention from the ascetics to the purpose of this Foshan meeting.

In an instant, the expressions of the monks present were different, obviously sensing that the Spirit King suddenly asked the King Kong God who convened the meeting, but they were afraid that they were going to make waves at the top of this Buddha Mountain and in front of the Black Gold Pagoda, and they all set their eyes on the King Kong God and the Spirit King Monk. From just now to now. The Vajra God still closed his eyes and didn't say a word, as if he didn't seem to be oblivious to everything that was happening. Now that the Spirit King Monk is asking him a direct question, I don't know how he will respond?

To the surprise of the monks, in the face of the Lingwang monk's question, the Vajra God still turned a blind eye and did not seem to be ready to respond. Of course, such a behavior is very rude, even if the Vajra God is an elder of Foshan, has the position of Venerable, and his identity is located, he can not answer. But at this time, the Spirit King Monk asked this, and it can be said that the Vajra God was not allowed to avoid it in such a simple way. Moreover, there is no need for the Vajra God to respond, no matter what his purpose is, the re-establishment of the worldly deity is what he mentioned, so it is natural to explain it clearly to the monks.

But why is the Vajra God still silent? The monks were so surprised that the resentful monk stood up again, he first bowed to the Spirit King monk, and then said: "Senior Brother Spirit King, His Holiness once told me that he would not be able to say a word until the three monks of the Ten Mountains arrived. If you have any doubts about the establishment of the worldly venerable again, it is better to say it first, the venerable has discussed this matter with the resentment in detail, maybe the junior brother can try his best to answer a thing or two for you!"

When the monk said this, he attracted the strange eyes of the monks. When he said this, he obviously indicated that the matter of establishing a worldly venerable person again this time was not the intention of Vajra God alone, and he also participated in it. The Buddhist monks have always been self-evident and self-reliant, even if they are three monks within a mountain, they may not have the same opinion. This point is known just now as Daru Zhizang and Lingwang Monk know, although Daru Zhizang is the resident mountain of Dahui Temple, and Lingwang Monk is the identity of the Dharma seat, but the concerns of the two are very different.

Since the beginning of the Buddha's teachings and disciples, he has made various precepts, a large part of which is the restraint on the behavior of monks. Although the monks practice together in the temple, support each other, and achieve friendship with each other due to fate, this relationship is not the same as that of other sects. In terms of teaching, although there is a distinction between master and apprentice, there is no difference between upper and lower levels. In terms of status and identity, although there is a difference between dignity and inferiority, there is no distinction between master and slave. Even when the Buddha was among the monks, he once said that he was just one of the monks, not the one who led the people. The monks gather together just to strengthen each other and improve their fellow practitioners, not to form some kind of force to do anything.

In the thousands of years of Buddhism, the Ten Mountains Temple was gradually formed, and each temple was presided over by three monks, but the monks only sought Nirvana and detachment, and rarely fought for anything else. Moreover, the Buddhist precepts are strict, and there are many tests in selecting disciples, so it has always been rare for monks to gather together for other purposes. Therefore, it is conceivable that the monk of disgust so openly expressed his agreement with the Vajra God, which naturally attracted the suspicion of the monks.

All the monks present couldn't help but glance at each other a few times, and from the eyes of several monks, they had already revealed a little suspicion of the monks beside them, it seemed that they had begun to be wary of the monks around them, whether they were still participating in this meeting with some kind of intention like the angry monks. Directly speaking, how many people intend to support the re-establishment of Vajra God in the world! Many people have begun to speculate in their hearts, but they are afraid that this meeting of the re-establishment of the world-honored person will become a major change in Buddhism.

Therefore, the Lingwang monk was also stunned for a moment after the angry monk finished speaking, and understood the situation in front of him, he still continued to ask what he wanted to say: "The poor monk asked about Vajra Venerable, but since the disgusted senior brother claimed to be able to answer on his behalf, the poor monk asked directly." The reason why the poor monks were puzzled was that the Venerable Venerable summoned the three monks of the Ten Mountains to establish the worldly dignity again in the name of Nirvana and the Thirty-two Phases of Nirvana. Lotus Huazun Nirvana, the matter of the thirty-two phases of cutting, the poor monk has heard of it, and I believe that the other brothers are the same, so I don't say much. Those who are puzzled, even if the 32 phases are cut, it is just a waste of supernatural powers, why doesn't he show up in Foshan to participate in this meeting? Where is the 32 phases? His Holiness wants to establish a worldly dignity again, and if the 32 phases are absent, it will inevitably be a little unbearable!"

After the Lingwang monk raised the doubts in his heart, none of the monks spoke, no one expressed their approval or objection, and they all set their eyes on the resentful monk almost at the same time. The Lingwang monk did not entangle whether one of them could establish the world's dignity again, whether he needed to establish the world's dignity again, but just asked where the thirty-two phases were. This is also to ask the Vajra God, if you want to establish a worldly venerable again, then the thirty-two phases agreed? Originally, if there was no accident, then after the Lotus Huazun, he should be the new generation of the worldly venerable of Buddhism. But now that the thirty-two phases have cut the law and abolished the supernatural powers, then in view of the dangerous situation in front of the demon war that will break out, it is not impossible to temporarily set up a world venerable, but no matter what, it must be the thirty-two phases present. Otherwise, it's too much to say, wouldn't it seem that the King Kong God is selfish?

I have to say that the Lingwang monk asked a very direct and simple question, but sometimes the most difficult answer is often such a simple question. Because this kind of question is torturing the original intention of the actor, if there is no other intention, it can naturally be answered very refreshingly. But if the mind has other thoughts, the words will seem to be quibbling and fragmented.

However, what the Lingwang monk asked was the Vajra God, and now it was the monk who answered him. The resentful monk replied almost without any hesitation: "The thirty-two phases are currently recuperating in the three mountains of Daohai, and this matter is because the Great Xia Longtu sent someone to the Great Lei Yin Mountain Fayu Palace to inform Senior Brother Huoshoulong, and Senior Brother Huoshoulong will report to Foshan. The Great Xia Longtu did not send a single word from the thirty-two phases, but it can be seen that the injuries suffered by the thirty-two phases cutting method are even stricter than we imagined. Therefore, the matter of establishing the worldly dignity again did not obtain his consent.

But the reason why His Holiness is so anxious to establish a worldly venerable again is for the sake of the safety of the entire Buddhist sect. After a while, the resurgence of the demons in Broken Cishan is already known to everyone. At the beginning, the resurgence of the demon catastrophe rumored by the Daomen Daifu Tianyuan was not a lie, but I was afraid that it would be in front of me in an instant. At this time, the change is imminent, and Buddhism must not be left uncharged, and must do its best to establish the world's dignity to preside over the overall situation. Forgive me that the thirty-two phases are here, and I will also approve of His Holiness's actions, so His Holiness wants to do it first!"

Lingwang Monk frowned and said, "Send someone to Daohai to pick up the thirty-two phases first, or even if you report this matter to him first, it will only delay for two or three days at the latest." No matter how urgent the rebellion of the demons is, I am afraid that I am not in a hurry to fight for these days, right? Venerable's move is only afraid of attracting the suspicion of Buddhist disciples and other meaningless speculations made by other practitioners in the cultivation world, isn't it?"
