Di Wuya and the others were still frightened as they were surrounded by dangers. The half-life they had saved from the disaster was gasping for air.
"Huh? No injuries!"
Only then did Qiu Feng realize that the nearly fatal injuries he had suffered before had completely disappeared, but the oppressive feeling of remaining in the aftermath of the disaster was still pressing into his heart.
"He passed the test!"
"How on earth did that kid do it?"
The sweeping monk in front of the door laughed softly in the face of everyone's confusion: "My Buddha is so compassionate that I put down my butcher knife and became a Buddha immediately!"
Click!
There was a crisp sound, and at the lintel of the door under Ye Chen's feet, the barrier thickened by golden light exploded instantly, no longer blocking Ye Chen's steps. On his chest, a faint Buddha's light surrounded his body.
"The invitations have been distributed, and everyone outside the temple is invited to listen to the Buddha's message!"
"Amitabha!"
The sweeping monk clasped his palms together and bowed, no longer looking at everyone, and once again lowered his head to clean the dust in front of the door.
"this"
Di Wuya, Qiu Feng and others looked at each other in disbelief. The opportunity to discuss Taoism with a generation of Immortal Emperors was missed like this. While they congratulated Ye Chen, they couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
"Senior, can I invite my two friends to come in together?"
Ye Chen paused and said, "If that doesn't work, then the juniors will sit quietly outside the door."
Di Wuya and Qiu Feng were stunned, but they were moved and shouted at Ye Chen:
"What the hell are you doing, kid? This kind of opportunity only comes once in a million, how can you refuse it?"
Ye Chen shook his head. He had doubts about how to pass the test. After verifying some of his ideas, he suddenly became enlightened.
"With my strength, taking away the Nine Heavens Divine Flame is a delusion. As for discussing the Tao," Ye Chen looked back at the depths of the small temple and said softly,
"I think it's no longer needed."
"My little friend, please come in and have a chat. Your friends can also come with us!"
Just when Ye Chen was about to lift his feet and leave, an old voice came from the depths of the small temple, inviting several people to come in together.
"this"
Both Di Wuya and Qiu Feng were overjoyed. The abbot actually agreed to Ye Chen's rude request?
On one side of the thatched pavilion, two figures sat opposite each other, and at the third seat, there was only a futon sitting quietly.
Seeing Ye Chen and the others approaching slowly, the abbot in gray waved his hand gently to Ye Chen, indicating that he could come forward and sit across from him.
Ye Chen bowed slightly, walked forward and sat down cross-legged. Emperor Wuya and Qiu Feng stood quietly behind Ye Chen. The green bell sounded again. The five of them were silent, and no one spoke.
"Lord of Reincarnation, what if the old monk didn't agree to your request just now?"
The gray-clothed abbot twirled half a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and without opening his slightly closed eyes to look at Ye Chen, he spoke lightly.
The Supreme Immortal Emperor on the side cast his gaze on Ye Chen. There was a faint hope in his eyes, but he hid it cleverly.
"Then it proves that this junior's conjecture is correct. This way, it doesn't matter."
Ye Chen responded.
"The desire to punish evil is so strong, how is it different from evil?"
The abbot in gray murmured to himself, as if he was questioning everyone, or asking Ye Chen in return. Emperor Wuya and Qiu Feng lowered their eyebrows. These words were not something they dared to accept.
"Let me ask you, what is good and what is evil?"
The old abbot changed the topic and opened his eyes to look at Ye Chen. Gu Jing Wubo's eyes were full of depth and vastness like the sea.
Ye Chen thought for a while and responded: "Enlightenment means that there is no destiny, and practice cannot violate the way of nature."
"Sorrows, joys and sorrows all come according to fate, everything is destined!"
"The cassock is originally pure, but the red world is stained with gray. The faint moment lasts for eternity, but it is just an idiot's dream!"
Ye Chen looked at the abbot in gray, but the old man laughed, "Good boy, when did you understand all this!"
Ye Chen responded softly: "The sun is setting in the west, and the broken body can only dream about eternity, but the remaining life is gone, but it will last for many years to come."
"This is what I, this junior, have realized. In today's line, I am not who I am."
The old man looked at Ye Chen with approval, and for the first time his eyes glowed with light as he looked at Ye Chen, and then he said:
"Buddha has no form, so why dare he talk about good and evil?"
Ye Chen responded again:
"The master tortures the junior, and it is reasonable for the junior to speak boldly."
"The ultimate good and the ultimate evil are the ultimate method of understanding Nirvana that Buddhism seeks to understand at its root. It can be understood but cannot be described, let alone practiced!"
"Practice and practice to become a Buddha, then seek enlightenment and gain enlightenment. Then you will realize that your practice will overwhelm the way of heaven and lead to the path of mankind. Enlightenment will ultimately serve your own path and go against the common people."
"The enlightened person develops the Tao from his heart, and the warrior uses the Tao to enlighten his heart."
The half-string of Buddhist beads of the abbot in gray slowly emitted a ray of golden light under the constant twisting of his thin fingers. He said unhurriedly:
“If we don’t distinguish between good and evil, and we don’t want to become a Buddha, then what’s the point of the existence of Buddhism?”
"Buddha is beyond the six realms and belongs to the rules of the great road, not to human determination!"
"Everyone may be enlightened one day, but most of them are mistaken after enlightenment, and their appearance is distorted."
"Buddha's nature has neither birth nor death, no roots, no roots, no roots, no stains in the world, and a glimpse of its Dharma is just a fool's dream, nothing more."
"However, the Buddha has no form, and the human form may be one of them. Good and evil have the same source. It may be difficult to distinguish them in general terms, but it is absolutely Tao."
"Practice ends when it reaches perfection, which can be said to be immeasurable. If the Buddha has immeasurable values, it is not the Tao."
The gray-clothed abbot stood up, raised his eyes and looked into the depths of the void, and couldn't help but sigh, "The situation will rise with the wind, and the calamity of killing is also the calamity of overcoming others!"
Ye Chen knew in his heart that it seemed that from the beginning, the erosion of the dark energy of time and space had become a force majeure factor, and it was by no means as calm as what Di Wuya and Qiu Feng said.
"If it's irreversible, it's better than half the world!"
Ye Chen shrugged and said with a smile.
"Is Sheng Tian Ban Zi?"
"Throwing a stone into the water will cause ripples even if there are no waves." The abbot in gray turned around and stared straight at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen suddenly understood something at this moment. He looked at the Supreme Immortal Emperor who was sitting next to him and staring at him from beginning to end, bowed and said:
"I dare to ask senior, this corner has passed by, but senior used magical power to cover up the secret of heaven?"
Di Wuya, Qiu Feng and others on the side were confused by what they heard. They didn't know what Ye Chen and the abbot were talking about. However, the Supreme Immortal Emperor nodded slightly and said:
"Yes and no!"
"With my cultivation, I can't hide the secret of heaven. It's just a cycle of cause and effect, and it will be reborn after a calamity!"
He looked at the two people behind him, Di Wuya and Qiu Feng, and wanted to say something else, but all he could see were dark clouds all over the sky, and the thunder of the great avenue of nothingness swirling into the sea, threatening to annihilate this world at any time.
“Fellow Taoist, please don’t be impatient!”
The abbot in gray opened his mouth and smiled. The discussion here had no regrets for him.
If I have any regrets, I only regret that I was in a wrong place in time and space and did not give him an answer.
"The general situation has suddenly arisen, and countless fortunes have come together to unite the Supreme Being." Just as Ye Chen was about to say something, a tribulation thunder struck straight down.

The old man in gray clothes and the Supreme Immortal Emperor wanted to help him, but they found that Ye Chen's figure began to become illusory and slowly peeled away from this world.
