"The devil is the mind of the monk, and the monk is the mind of the devil. Between one thought, this mind is uninterrupted."
He only knew that this verse was the key to sealing Mara.
It was because of the reminder of this verse in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Cave that I was able to successfully understand the "Seal of Freedom".
I just don’t know what the other one is.
Abbot Zhenxin's eyes were dim, as if he was lost in memories: "When Mara was born, he vowed to turn the world into hell.
As a result, mountains and rivers were shattered, and all living beings suffered.
It wasn't until Patriarch Bodhidharma suddenly realized the 'Six Paths of Bodhidharma' that he used his supreme supernatural power to seal Mara in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Cave in Chaozong Mountain. This ended the 'Mara's Troubles'."
"After that, Patriarch Bodhidharma set up a 'mirage formation' in Landa Temple to ensure that everything was safe, hiding the entire Landa Temple in the void."
"In addition, Patriarch Bodhidharma also continued to deduce based on the Buddhist "One Palm Sutra" and created the "Dharma One Palm Sutra", which was used to deduce the following thousands of years."
"On the tenth day, Fang woke up from his epiphany."
"So I left the second verse."
"Thousands of Buddhas have come to the sect, and Mara has returned to silence.
If you are here or away, your heart will be like glass."
Abbot Zhenxin's voice was low and slow.
Li Chen was slightly startled when he heard the words, muttered once, then raised his head and asked, "I wonder what the hidden meaning of this verse is?"
Abbot Zhenxin pursed his lips slightly, and his only remaining eye looked particularly bright: "'Ten thousand Buddhas come to the sect, and Mara returns to silence.'"
"'Ten Thousand Buddhas Chaozong' should refer to the vision of heaven and earth caused by the 'Ten Thousand Buddhas Chaozong Array', while 'Mara's Return to Silence' should refer to the master's re-sealing of Mara."
Li Chen listened quietly, thinking secretly in his heart.
"That's the second sentence."
"'If we are here or apart, my heart will be like glass.'"
"I never understood it before. It wasn't until I used the 'Liu Li Xin' to heal little friend Li Sao's wounds last time that I noticed that the Liu Li Heart shone with light, and I suddenly had an epiphany."
"'Heart of glass' undoubtedly refers to the glass heart, which is one of the eight treasures of the Muni."
"So 'ruojiruoli' should refer to its connection with the other seven Buddhist treasures!"
"When Master Lichen approaches, the light in Liuli's heart flashes, as if he is far away."
"So... the real purpose of Patriarch Bodhidharma's leaving this piece of glazed heart was to give it to Master Lichen with the help of Landa Temple."
Having said this, Abbot Zhenxin pointed to the box in front of him.
But Li Chen was a little at a loss when faced with the Buddha treasure that suddenly came to his door.
"Abbott, you can't do it!"
"Such a holy object, putting it in the hands of this young monk is really a secret investment."
Upon hearing this, Abbot Zhenxin shook his hand and said with a smile: "Master, there is no need to refuse."
"This Muni Eight Treasures consumes a lot of merit. In the hands of my Landa Temple, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing."
"The Guru founded the Heart Sect and sealed Mara, which is an unparalleled great merit."
"I think there is no one in the world who is more suitable than my master."
"So I ask the master to accept it."
After saying that, he couldn't help but cover the box and stuff it directly into Li Chen's arms.
"Maybe one day, you can truly understand the intention of Patriarch Bodhidharma."
"This..." Li Chen held the box, a little at a loss.
"Amitabha."
"Master, just put it away."
Seeing that the three of them were so decisive, Li Chen knew that it would be disrespectful to refuse if he refused, so he said loudly: "The elders have given it to me, so I can't refuse it."
"The young monk licked his face and accepted it."
After saying that, he took Liulixin into his arms.
In this way, he actually gathered the eight treasures of Muni invisibly.
The Eight Treasures of Muni are sacred objects passed down by the Buddha Sakyamuni Buddha. It is said that gathering the eight treasures may lead to enlightenment.
Could this be the intention of Patriarch Bodhidharma?
Seeing Li Chen accept Liu Li Xin, Abbot Zhenxin nodded with a smile, changed the subject at the right time and said: "Master Li Chen wants to leave, I don't dare to stay any longer."
"If there is an opportunity, Landa Temple welcomes the master to give lectures at any time."
"The three masters are very polite. I will come to bother you later."
…
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the gate of Landa Temple once again appeared in front of everyone.
Li Chen and his group stopped at the door.
Behind him, Abbot Zhenxin, Vacuum, Zhenming, two elders, Xintong, Xinwu, and even the blind Zen Master Xinyi also came to say goodbye.
But Monk Xinguang was nowhere to be seen.
"Amitabha."
Young monk Ying Hui stepped forward and said with a smile: "Master Lichen, my uncle has been locked up in the woodshed by my uncle, so I can't come to say goodbye to my master in person."
"Uncle Master asked the young monk to give you a message, please walk slowly on the road~"
After saying that, he winked at Li Chen.
When Li Chen saw this action, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you, Master Xinguang, for your thoughtfulness."
"We will meet each other if we are destined."
Young monk Ying Hui smiled: "What a coincidence, my uncle also said so."
Li Chen bowed slightly and glanced at the faces of the monks: "Amitabha."
"I'll send you a thousand miles away, but I'll have to say goodbye in the end."
"The young monk is waiting for the arrival of the masters at Shasheng Temple."
"Masters, please come back."
"Amitabha~"
The group of people stepped out of the temple gate.
All the monks in Landa Temple behind him clasped their hands and did not move for a long time.
Until the rays of light in the sky fade away and the moon rises above the Western Mountains, Landa Temple will be hidden in the vast void again.
The last afterglow on the horizon gradually faded away.
at this time.
Two figures, one large and one small, suddenly jumped out from behind the monks. Before the monks could react, they had already passed through the gate of Landa Temple.
As soon as he landed, the red clouds in the sky dimmed, and the 'mirage formation' instantly became invisible.
"Master, we succeeded!"
Looking at the empty Agua behind him, he danced happily.
Monk Xinguang also slapped his head happily: "Hahaha, it's all calculated carefully by my teacher."
He had previously used the "Dharma Palm Sutra" to deduce that his chance lies with Li Chen.
After spending this time together, Monk Xinguang became even more convinced of this.
How could he be trapped in a mere firewood shed?
Therefore, he had already calculated the time for Li Chen to leave using the "Dharma One Palm Sutra", and specifically tried to escape the moment the door closed.
As long as he jumps out of the formation, no matter how powerful Abbot Zhenxin is, he will be helpless.
"Hey, let's go!~"
…
Li Chen and his party moved forward slowly.
Suddenly I heard shouting from behind.
Everyone couldn't help but be startled, and turned around to see two figures, one large and one small, running wildly in their direction.
When I looked closely, I saw it was Monk Xinguang and Agua.
When Li Chen saw this, his thoughts turned out to be exactly like this.
"Amitabha."
"Master Xinguang is really unwilling to be lonely."
Monk Xinguang laughed loudly after hearing this: "Everything is for cultivation~~"
"Yeah."
“Everything is for practice~~”
The Agua beside him was licking the candied haws and echoed.
However, Li Sao couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "I don't know about other people, but I must be greedy~~"
"Hahaha~"
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately laughed.
Amid laughter, a group of people walked towards the distance under the silvery moonlight~
