Chapter 104: Cultivating Buddhism and self-cultivation?
[‘Rui Nao Suan Ni’ has psychic potential and can awaken to advanced forms. 】
When Li Chen saw the precious tripod at the front of the team, the Jieyu Mirror lit up with a golden light.
‘Rui Nao Suan Ni’?
Li Chen was stunned, he didn't expect that this fragrant tripod turned out to be a treasure.
【Rui Nao Suan Ni
Advanced form
Personality: Eat incense, have an immortal golden body
State 1: When seriously injured, it will fall into a deep sleep and turn into the form of an incense burner and jade tripod, which can swallow incense and practice. The body will not rot or deteriorate, and will be invulnerable to all things, and will slowly recover.
State 2: Not awakened
Description 1: Thousands of years ago, Rui Nao Suan Ni was seriously injured and fell into a coma.
Description 2: After thousands of years of smoking incense, Rui Nao Suan Ni’s injuries have recovered.
Description 3: Only holy Buddhist incense can awaken and subdue Rui Nao Suani.】
Holy Buddhist incense?
Li Chen curled his lips, and there happened to be one in his arms.
At this time, a cold snort came, but Monk Yixiu looked on with cold eyes.
"But I want to see how a person who kills Buddha will pay homage to the Great Thunder Sound Temple."
As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted the attention of the monks.
"Killing Buddha's disciples?"
"Is he the disciple of Shashou Buddha of Shasheng Temple?"
"I had heard before that Sessho Temple had returned to the world of cultivation. I didn't expect that this disciple of Sesshou Buddha would also come to participate in the 'Auspicious Dharma Assembly'."
"Is this the Savior Buddha the one who suddenly understood the 'Five-Character Sutra'?"
"That's right, the one who retreated from the demon clan several times and defeated Monk Bliss in the debate."
"I have long heard that the killing Buddha is so handsome that even Princess Shenxiu of the Xiangfei Valley fell in love with him. When I saw him today, he was indeed a bit better than the young monk."
"A thread? Brother, why is the thread so thick?"
"It is said that the Shasheng Temple was closed because it lost to the Great Leiyin Temple in the 'Auspicious Dharma Assembly' in the sutra debate."
"Abbot Huizhuo was seriously injured and went into seclusion because of this. It is said that his life and death are still uncertain."
"Now that this life-killing Buddha comes again, I'm afraid he will take revenge."
"Haha, that's not necessarily the case."
"Those who know the current affairs are distinguished. Now that the Daleiyin Temple is the only one in power, I think this disciple of the Buddha who kills living beings can only obey obediently."
"The young monk also feels that this 'Master Lihuang' is just an illusion!"
…
The team moved forward slowly, and soon it was Li Chen's turn.
The eyes of all the monks were immediately attracted here.
Some were indignant, some were complacent, and some were scornful.
They are all waiting to see how the disciple of the Killing Buddha will respond, whether he will kneel down and surrender, or whether he will take action.
At this time, the two Zhike monks who were guarding in front of the incense cauldron glanced at Li Chen and thought he was a stranger, so they said loudly: "Come here to report the Dharma name."
"Southern Xinjiang, Shasheng Temple, Lichen."
"Sashoji Temple?"
When the two Zhike monks heard this, they were stunned for a moment, but their hearts thumped.
Those who are good will not come, and those who come will be unkind.
One of them subconsciously glanced at Zen Master Zhengguan not far away.
Zheng Guan was also staring in this direction, but he just nodded slightly, hinting the two Zhike monks to continue.
But in his mind, he has a different view: there are no good or bad temples, only you and me.
Two hundred years ago, Sesshoji Temple was a temple of demons and the name of an evil Buddha.
Two hundred years later, he can become a Buddhist giant and a leader of the righteous path.
It depends on whether this ‘Buddha who kills living beings’ chooses to live on this shore or on the other shore.
"Master Lichen, please kneel down and worship."
Zhike Monk handed Li Chen a stick of incense, indicating that he could kowtow and salute.
The surrounding monks watched with great interest how they faced this life-killing Buddhist disciple.
I saw that Li Chen did not take the incense stick from the other party. He slowly raised his head and said with confusion on his face: "Salute?"
"Why?"
When the guest monk heard this, his expression suddenly changed. This boy was really here to cause trouble.
Not far away, the eyes of the monks who had just scorned Li Chen shone.
Monk Yixiu, in particular, looked at Li Chen blankly, not knowing how he planned to end it.
The monk, who knew that the guest's eyes were unkind, looked at Li Chen up and down, and slowly uttered two words: "Why?"
"I, a Buddhist disciple, kneel down to worship and practice Buddhism, why do I still ask?"
"Is it possible that your Shasheng Temple doesn't practice Buddhism? Then what do you practice? Demonic path?"
Zhike Monk is quite aggressive.
Li Chen shook his head: "We at Shasheng Temple do not practice Buddhism."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in front of the Zhike Building.
"Don't practice Buddhism? I'm afraid this disciple of the Buddha who kills living beings will fall into a pit."
"The key is to dig the hole yourself! Dig the hole yourself and jump out of it, there's nothing wrong with it!"
"I heard that this disciple of the Buddha who killed all living beings once defeated the eminent Buddhist monk Jie Le in a debate on sutras. Now it seems that he is so famous that it is hard to live up to it."
"I think I'm going to be kicked out of the Great Leiyin Temple."
Among the crowd, Monk Yixiu also frowned. This Master Lichen had extraordinary magical powers and a Zen-like manner. Even Elder Fan Feng respected him highly.
Logically speaking, it is absolutely impossible to give the other party something to talk about.
Does he have other plans?
"Hahaha, you admitted it!"
"Sasho Temple does not practice Buddhism. Since you do not practice Buddhism, you are not qualified to participate in the 'Auspicious Dharma Assembly'."
"Please come back~"
The monk Zhike was full of pride. He didn't expect that he could actually defeat the Buddha's disciples in debating the sutra.
As expected, I am the one favored by the Buddha.
But at this moment, Li Chen suddenly shook his head and said, "The Buddha is not broken, so why practice Buddhism?"
As soon as these words came out, the environment where there had been a lot of discussion suddenly became noisy.
Some laughed at it, some looked down upon it, and some thought about it.
That’s right, the Buddha is not broken, so why repair it?
When the monk Zhike heard this, his face turned cold: "You are using strong words to make sense!"
"I don't practice Buddhism, so why should I practice Buddhism? Should I practice demons?!"
But he heard Li Chen say two words in a deep voice: "Cultivation of oneself."
When these two words come out, they are like Hong Zhong Da Lu.
All the monks were stunned on the spot, savoring the two words carefully.
That’s right, what exactly is Buddhism practicing?
The Buddha has already become a Buddha, and his body is incorruptible from dirt.
What Buddhist disciples want to cultivate is not the Buddha, but the self.
The noisy environment suddenly became silent.
The Zhike monk looked at the figure of Guanyin behind him, and then at the figure of Qingjun in front of him, and was speechless for a moment.
But the Zhengguan monk not far away glanced at the monks who were deep in thought, and thought to himself: No, we must not let this life-killing Buddha show off his power.
Without any further hesitation, he spoke out from the crowd: "Amitabha."
"Master Lichen said that cultivating Buddhism is about cultivating oneself?"
"Then I dare to ask Master, what is self-cultivation?"
"Buddhism is based on the heart and ends with the body and speech."
"Cultivating oneself means cultivating the mind. If there is no impurity in the heart, one can see clearly if the eyes are not clear, and one can be clear if the ears are not clear."
Li Chen held the Greedy Toad rosary in one hand and held it in front of his chest with the other, neither humble nor arrogant.
However, the monk Zhengguan sneered and looked directly at Li Chen: "The young monk is scolding me for being 'unable to see and hear'?"
"Or are you calling all the monks in the world 'blind eyes and deaf ears'?"
When the monks saw Zen Master Zhengguan's overwhelming momentum and were afraid that the life-killing disciple was about to compromise, a voice came from their ears: "Not bad!"
"It is true that the Zen master's eyes are not clear and his ears are not hearing."
As soon as these words came out, the monks were in an uproar!
