Chapter 242 The heart resides inside, and the spirit is outside!
Recently, Yu Ji has been frowning all day long.
He was worried.
Since the death of the previous emperor and the accession of the new emperor to the throne, the partisanship in the court has become more and more obvious.
The new emperor was young and had an unstable temperament. King Ancheng was ordered by the previous king to serve as an auxiliary minister, advocate water conservancy, and lead reclamation. He gradually gained real power. There was a faint tendency to become autocratic, attracting many officials to rely on him, and gradually formed a party.
"well……"
Sitting at the table, I thought about how in the court today, officials from King Ancheng's party had a verbal spat with officials from the imperial party. The original issues were thrown aside. In the end, there was only mutual criticism.
"The princes in the court are supposed to govern the country and adjust the yin and yang, but now they are entangled in the party and government. They only ask about their positions, not right or wrong! In the long run, no decisions can be made, and state affairs will be delayed!"
A touch of worry lingered in my heart, and Yu Ji had a sad look on his face.
"The young master is suspicious of the country and there is a party dispute between North Korea and China. I have intentions, but how can I reverse the trend?"
As soon as he thought about it, he felt a heavy pressure on his body and became more and more discouraged.
Slowly, his thoughts slowed down, and before he knew it, he fell asleep.
In the dream, it seemed that he was in compliance with the saying "Think about it every day and dream about it at night". As soon as he fell into the dream, he arrived in the palace, and then he watched two groups of people quarreling with each other.
Arguing with a red face.
Just look at the fierce men on both sides, they don't look like colleagues who serve in the same palace, but they look like sworn enemies. When it comes to the later, they even give up pretending and start fighting directly!
With a sigh, Yu Ji was about to step forward to dissuade him, but after taking two steps, the people who were fighting suddenly stopped and turned their heads to look over, and they saw bruises and purple faces!
When Yu Ji saw these faces, he was immediately shocked!
Immediately, the court hall collapsed, pressing down like a mountain, suppressing Yu Ji!
Countless sounds lingered in his ears, all of them fighting for power and intrigue, which made him exhausted mentally and physically, and he could no longer breathe.
"The suffering is suffering, the court is like a sea of suffering, when will I be able to escape?"
Amid the lamentation, fragments of memories that had been buried in the bottom of his heart came out in droves, and Yu Ji couldn't help but think of one person.
"It's still the same king who is free and easy, becoming an immortal from the mortal world, and making others envious of him!"
As I was thinking about it, a misty figure stepping on the clouds emerged in the distance.
There is also a misty figure walking on the clouds.
"The Immortal in the Dream, the Marquis of Linru County!"
Yu Ji was suddenly startled.
On that day, he saw Chen Cuo drifting away with his own eyes, and from then on, a figure was engraved in his heart.
Three years have passed. There are more and more trivial matters in the world, endless officialdom entertainment, and the new emperor's accession to the throne. The drama of power struggle has been repeated. My heart has been covered with a layer of smoke. Now that I think about it, the figure in my memory seems to come to life.
Same, releasing spiritual light all over the body and illuminating the soul!
For a moment, his mind was in a trance, and memories were tumbling in his mind.
Speaking out, childhood, playing, studying, being an official...
All kinds of profound moments in life came to mind one after another, and finally a ray of light condensed and fell into the hands of that figure!
"As expected of a great scholar and important minister, the life experience contained in this book is pure and strong!"
The figure glanced at Yu Ji in the dream, cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Yu is concerned about the country and the people, and his heart is admirable. You have the desire to admire immortals because of earthly things, but you are really worried about the present. Today,
I only want you to worship me, but I want you to help me, and I will repay you in the future!" As soon as he finished speaking, he drifted away.
The next moment, Yu Ji suddenly woke up.
He glanced at the empty house and felt lost.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
Yu Ji stood up and opened the door, and what he saw was two short figures - a young man with red lips and white teeth, holding a young child, looking at him with excitement on his face.
"Shiji, Shinan, what's wrong?"
"Uncle!" The young man said, "My brother and I just dreamed about the fairy in our dreams! What my uncle said is indeed true! There really are fairies in the world!"
Yu Ji was stunned when he heard this.
at the same time.
In Jiankang City, the capital city of Nanchen, many people fell asleep in a trance.
At first there were just a few people, but soon they spread all over the city.
Among them, there are children of aristocratic families, various scholars, some guards, subordinates, handymen, and even people from the world, and commoners in the city.
These people all have one thing in common, that is, they once witnessed Chen Cuo ascending to the sky in the Green Willow Garden.
At this moment, in their dreams, all kinds of past events flashed by, surrounding the "immortal in the dream", and they all had thoughts of sustenance.
This thought wrapped up the fragment of life, evolved into a ray of light, and left in the dream.
.
.
Rays of light fell into Mengze, gathered together, and were caught by Chen Cuo's third incarnation.
This incarnation is once again wrapped in layers of Buddha's light.
From time to time, figures with hands clasped appeared in the Buddha's light, clearly Hejun's followers praying silently.
They pray by themselves and have the gods they worship accompany them.
"Worshiping and praying to Buddha is to place the human heart in the void, and to imagine Buddha and gods outside the body. Once the believer's heart changes, the thoughts derived from it are undoubtedly viruses to the gods! This incarnation of mine, if you only look at it now
The situation has become extremely sick, and even the core of it is haunted by the words of believers to the Buddha."
As he thought about it, Chen Cuo's thoughts became particularly clear.
"However, the heavy pressure from external forces is both a threat and an opportunity to temper your mind! It is also an opportunity to shape the direction of this incarnation!"
As this thought fell, the third incarnation crushed the light gathered in its hand.
Snapped!
The thoughts restrained in the light burst out, forming silhouettes.
Every figure is a thought.
Some of them are nobles, some are high-ranking officials, some are celebrities, some are servants, some are guards, some are handymen, and they are all from the three religions and nine streams.
The huge difference in status also leads to huge differences in thinking.
The appearance of everyone's thoughts all originated from the figure floating away from the banquet, but some wanted to imitate him, some wanted to see immortals and think about the mysterious, some had earthly hearts, some were envious and longing, and some were in awe and worship...
People's hearts are different, and some are even polar opposites. Now that there is no light to restrain them, they collide with each other and have a tendency to scatter!
But Chen Cuo had already gained experience in gathering the consensus of humanity, and with the Buddha's light exerting pressure from outside, with a thought, he regrouped the brilliance of human thought and turned it into a star the size of a fingernail.
Among the stars, hundreds of kinds of lives evolved——
Joy, anger, sorrow, birth, old age, sickness and death, high and low, men, women, old and young...
People miss the stars!
"My third incarnation is composed of many mind beasts. I swallowed the incomplete talisman and seal, and received the incense and fire thoughts. I can be regarded as a half-god. I have authority, know everything, have divine power everywhere, and all my wishes come true!"
Thinking like this, with a thought in his mind, the incomplete talisman and seal appeared from his incarnation.
"The divine talisman is the core of the gods and the source of authority, but the authority of this talisman was shaped by others. The source of this talisman also comes from the Temple Dragon King. If I use this as this
The foundation of the third incarnation is to walk the path of others, exert the power of others, and take advantage of external forces, but naturally you must also be controlled by external forces!"
One after another, the Buddha chanting incense converged towards the talisman and seal!
"I want to explore the way forward and eventually go my own way. This talisman is a temporary help. It can be used to fight against the enemy. It can also be used as a reference to help me understand the secret of incense, but it is not enough to serve as a foundation to solidify this third incarnation.
.”
As soon as the thought fell, the human thought star was swallowed by the third incarnation.
"This incarnation should have an introduction..."
Immediately, his third incarnation began to fluctuate violently!
Rays of white light and blurry figures flashed across the surface of the avatar one after another!
"All thoughts originate from the mortal world. This body should be human-centered. It needs outsiders' thoughts to shape the spirit. Keep the reality of the human heart and not be disturbed by external thoughts."
Click!
Amidst the continuous breaking sounds, the incarnation's body, which was already dazzling by the incense of Buddha's chanting, was covered with cracks in the blink of an eye, and then completely collapsed!
But what replaced it was a pure white star.
The brilliance of the stars, combined with the human flowers left behind by the Nian Beast, instantly expelled the thoughts of He Jun's followers who were infected by the Buddha's thoughts and Buddha's nature, together with the rays of Buddha's light!
"The heart is within, and the mind is outside!"
A vaguely white lotus flower appears above the head of the third incarnation.
"This is my third incarnation, the white lotus human incarnation!"
.
.
Many changes may seem complicated, but they all happened in parallel. In fact, the changes in the minds of everyone in the Southern Dynasty only took a few breaths.
A few breaths of time can certainly change a lot, but in the Hejun Temple, it is only enough to gather a few rays of Buddha's light.
The monk in plain clothes stood up out of thin air, and the Buddha's light shone everywhere. Wherever the Buddha's light passed, cracks appeared in the temple. Under the entanglement of the lines, murals were outlined, telling stories of Buddhists helping the world and saving people, and even more faintly.
The sound of chanting came from it.
"This method of Buddhism is really hard to guard against. There are plots hidden almost everywhere, and you will catch it if you are not careful!"
In a corner of the temple, with a screen of divine light, the city god and the mountain god looked at the scene in front of them, with lingering horror in their hearts.
The mountain god added: "No wonder, Buddhism and Heavenly Court both belong to the path of incense, but Heavenly Court has developed slowly, and has only gradually gotten on the right track in recent years, but Buddhism has a trend of great development. I thought it was because they cling to the relationship between ordinary people and powerful people, but now
Look again, you are not willing to waste the slightest opportunity, and you are always thinking about winning over people and naturalizing them..."
Thinking that the monk in front of them was actually from the Hedong clan, the two gods couldn't help but feel more and more emotional, and then looked at the figure that was submerged in the Buddha's light.
The City God sighed with emotion: "I just saw this man suddenly speaking, and I thought there was a way. But now it seems that it is still difficult to resist!"
Zheng Chuan Nian said.
suddenly!
The expressions of the two gods changed!
A voice sounded in the hearts of the two gods——
"You two gentlemen, please listen to the order. When the Lord of the River is unable to resist, you must take action to prevent the Buddha from falling into the hands of the Buddha!"
Along with it, there is also a surging force that is contained but not expressed.
One yin and one yang live separately in the bodies of the two gods, dormant and motionless, but the power within them makes the two gods tremble.
They did not dare to refuse, so they had to observe carefully and wait for the opportunity.
The time seems to have arrived in an instant!
Under the pressure of layers of Buddha's light, Chen Cuo's incarnation suddenly shattered!
Only one bead is left spinning in the air.
This scene made the two gods sigh, thinking that this Lord of the River could not resist the Buddha's light at all and wanted to be assimilated by the Buddha. They could not help but feel a bit sad.
"That's it!"
But the next moment, the two powers of yin and yang burst out from the bodies of the two gods, and suddenly combined, distorting the outlines of the two gods, merging into one, and turning into a golden-armored god!
This god exuded the aura of eternity, and when he grabbed it with his thick arm, the overwhelming momentum enveloped the temple, directly shattering the hall, and his hand grabbed the bead!
"Amitabha, I hope the gods will retreat, don't take advantage of the chaos!"
The monk shook his head and did not stop him. He also raised his hand and grabbed it.
The Buddha's light gathers and turns into a giant palm!
At this moment.
A white lotus flower appeared from the bead.
The Buddha's light along the way is like white snow melting when encountering the scorching sun.
A fantasyland emerged, which was a bustling street.
People come and go.
The palm of the golden-armored god fell into it.
Everyone in the illusory street saw it and said in unison: "This thing goes against common sense, it must be an illusion!"
As soon as the voice fell, the arm of the god collapsed and disappeared!
The golden-armored god was startled and retreated hastily!
Then, the palm of Buddha's light also fell into the illusion, and suddenly the sound of Buddha burst out.
People on the street said again: "This is a scene that deceives the mind. It should come from the mouth and tongue, and should not be isolated from the world."
Suddenly, the Buddha's light dissipated, and the monk's expression changed and he retreated in the air!
When the gods and monks retreated, the white lotus bloomed and a figure walked out of it.
This man looked like Chen Cuo, with a tall crown and a broad belt, and a moon-white robe. As soon as he appeared, he smiled at the monk and said, "Thank you, Master, for the help."
