"After you left..." Tasang Living Buddha made sure that Liang Xiangyu and Buxin couldn't hear what he said, and then continued: "With the help of Liu Xiangnu, I finally killed the blood tiger, and then burned the It’s a devil’s cave, but I was also seriously injured, and I was also poisoned by the ghost mountain blood poison…”
"I heard that someone on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau prepared an antidote for blood poisoning,"
"That's right..." Tanzanian Living Buddha nodded slightly and told Ling Cang: "It is our sect."
Ling Cang breathed a long sigh of relief and asked tentatively: "Master, I have also been poisoned. I don't know if there is anything I can do."
Tasang did not answer directly, but just said: "I went back to Qinghai-Tibet a few days ago, and I didn't come back until a few days ago, just to get the antidote."
"Then what……"
"Our faction has been fighting against the Vampire Sect for many years. Before discovering the remnants of the Blood Tiger, we thought that these evil obstacles had been completely eradicated, so no one paid attention to preparing the antidote. As a result, the antidote was slowly lost. , among the few living Buddhas before me, no one knows the formula, but..." Tasang looked directly at Ling Cang and said word by word: "There is still one that has been passed down,"
During this period of time, Ling Cang has been tortured by the ghost mountain blood poison, and he has always dreamed of finding an antidote. Now that he really sees hope, Ling Cang is not in a hurry: "Oh,"
Because Ling Cang remembered Sikong Youyou's words, the antidote to the ghost mountain blood poison depends on chance. When the opportunity comes, you will naturally get the antidote. If you don't have the opportunity, there is no point in forcing it. First, he helped a liar monk by mistake, and then through this The liar found Tasang and already explained that he had this opportunity.
But if this opportunity is false and Tasang Living Buddha cannot help him at all, it means that he is destined to not escape this disaster.
"This antidote is unique..." Tasang reminded meaningfully: "You and I have been poisoned, but there is only this one."
"oh,"
"You..." Seeing Ling Cang's nonchalant look, Tasang felt a little strange: "Aren't you in a hurry?"
"What's the use of being anxious," Ling Cang smiled nonchalantly: "The antidote belongs to you, the guru. The guru naturally has the right to control it. The guru takes it himself. I understand that. After all, I am not the guru's. I have no right to ask my guru to sacrifice himself to save me,"
"It is really rare for the donor to have such awareness at such a young age," Tasang said, taking out a delicate little brocade box from his arms. After opening it, there was a red pill inside: "Antidote" it's here,"
"Oh," Ling Cang still looked so nonchalant on the surface, but actually wanted to rush over and grab the antidote.
"You...really don't want it,"
"It all depends on the master's arrangements," Ling Cang knew that under normal circumstances, he would never be Tasang's opponent. Now that Tasang is so ill, he should be able to easily win, but it's hard to say with the Six-phase Girl by his side. , Ling Cang could feel that the tattooed girl's skill was extremely high, if not lower than that of Linglan. If the six of them combined their strength to attack, he would have to go to see the Buddha before Tasang.
"Young man..." Tasang didn't see the twists and turns in Ling Cang's heart, but he still said: "No matter what you say, it is actually a false sentiment or a pretense, it can make people believe it."
"Thank you, Master, for the compliment,"
"It is extremely rare for you to have such a state. My master has put these words here today. You will become a great person in the future."
"Then I have to have a future..." After a pause, Ling Cang asked tentatively: "By the way, this antidote...can it be divided into two parts?"
"No," Tasang Living Buddha told Ling Cang with certainty: "One medicine can only save one person."
"Then please master, please take it quickly,"
"If I wanted to take it, I would have taken it long ago. Why did I wait until my illness became like this?"
"What the master means is..." Ling Cang had already given up hope, but after hearing these words, his hope was rekindled.
"I want to leave the antidote to you..."
"But...why,"
"Let's start from the beginning..."
After Tasang's narration, Ling Cang learned about the past of Tasang's group, as well as some other things.
The title "Living Buddha" is actually a common name in Han Dynasty. In Mongolian and Tibetan areas, there is no such term as Living Buddha. Strictly speaking, Living Buddha should be called a reincarnated venerable. It means that one has great achievements in practice and can be based on one's own A venerable person who reincarnates with the will to save the world. After each living Buddha passes away, others will determine the direction and location of reincarnation based on some signs, such as where they were facing when they passed away.
The Tasang sect is different. They are called the Incarnate Lords, which refers to the Lords who have great power and eradicate demonic obstacles in the world. They do not look for reincarnated soul boys, but choose one among their disciples to pass on the mantle. Be the next generation of Tasang Living Buddha.
The living Buddha Tasang in front of me was told by his master that if one day he saw two crescent moons at the same time, it would be the time to reincarnate. When he returned to Qinghai-Tibet to find the antidote, Tasang actually saw two crescent moons hanging in the sky. moon.
There is no way of knowing whether this is a meteorological phenomenon, an illusion, or whether the previous living Buddha really had an insight into something. Anyway, Tasang believed it, so he did not take the antidote, but waited for Lingcang's arrival.
"You..." Ling Cang was stunned: "You're just going to... pass away like this,"
"Passing away, what the world calls death, is actually not only an end, but also a beginning." Tasang sighed and slowly said to Ling Cang: "Now, I have decided to choose you to inherit my mantle..."
"No, no, no," Ling Cang shook his head like a wave drum: "I don't want to become a monk, nor do I want to shave my head, and I have to find a wife. Let me wear your red robe every day and hold the scriptures there. Nagging, you might as well kill me with one knife,"
"You are too rigid about the foreign minister, which is not good..." Tanzan shook his head slowly, and then reminded: "You can see a Buddha statue in this room,"
"No," Ling Cang nodded: "I was feeling strange."
"Buddha statues are Buddhas that you worship. If you don't worship them, they are just clay statues. Nowadays, people in the world worship clay statues as gods and spend a lot of money to worship them, but they often don't think of using less money to worship them. Helping others to save others is ridiculous..." Tanzan let out a long sigh and said, "Because I have Buddha in my heart, I don't need to worship Buddha statues wherever I go."
When Ling Cang heard these words, he immediately understood: "You choose me as your successor, the reason is the same."
"That's right," Tasang nodded and expressed his appreciation for Ling Cang's understanding: "This means that as long as you have the heart to conquer the devil in the world and eradicate the injustices in the world, you are my successor. As for you Whether you become a monk or not is just an appearance, it doesn't matter. It doesn't even matter if you have other beliefs. You must know that true Buddhism is inclusive. When the World Honored One was alive, he believed that Buddhism and other beliefs actually lead to the same goal through different paths. Everyone has the same goal. It's just a matter of walking. We all have different paths, so they should never be mutually exclusive..."
"Then I understand," Ling Cang resisted, not reaching out to Tasang and urging him to get the antidote quickly.
"I have never officially accepted a disciple in my life, you are the only one, and I have nothing to teach you as a teacher. There are only three things..." Tasang stopped suddenly when he said this, and breathed heavily for a while: "Second The same thing is this antidote, the second thing..."
"What is it?" Ling Cang discovered that Tasang was indeed close to passing away. Thinking back to the first time they met, Tasang was so arrogant, but now he has become so weak, and his energy has long been gone.
"Six-phase women," Tasang coughed twice, and said proudly: "They are the best candidates for double cultivation and tonic. Being with them can help you improve your skills quickly..."
"Ah," Ling Cang suddenly realized that he was really lucky to be able to pick up such a huge bargain out of thin air, and this Tasang was really generous. He originally wanted to give him two beauties, but now he wants to give him six They were all given to him together. It was a pleasure to have six beautiful women by his side. However, the six-phase girl was Tasang's partner in dual cultivation, which made Ling Cang feel a little awkward: "This..." Teacher, let’s forget it, I can be friends with them, and there will be no need for other relationships,”
"Don't you dare to reject what was passed down to you by your master?"
"I have no feelings for them, and there is no happiness if I force myself to do so."
"It's a double cultivation, not a marriage. Are you talking about matchmaking as a teacher?"
"Double cultivation should also pay some attention to ethics. Maybe your place has an open atmosphere. If the elder brother dies, the younger brother can marry his sister-in-law. But here, it is absolutely unacceptable for a disciple to marry the master's woman."
"So you are worried about this..." Tasang carefully observed Ling Cang's expression and suddenly smiled slightly: "Our Tasang sect has always had dual cultivation, but it is just a practice, not a compulsory cultivation. In other words, Not every generation of venerable masters can practice dual cultivation, but this master has never done so..."
"So it's not second-hand goods," Ling Cang's heart moved and he asked hurriedly: "Why?"
"Not everyone can practice dual cultivation. First, one must have suitable qualifications, and second, one must reach a certain level in cultivation. Without realizing emptiness, practicing dual cultivation without authorization will easily fall into evil ways and engage in sexual activities in the name of cultivation. On the one hand, my master's qualifications are inconsistent, but on the other hand, his practice is limited, his temperament is impulsive and irritable, and he does not meet the needs of practice in many aspects..." At this time, the tattooed girl brought a glass of water, and Tasang reluctantly drank it. After just one mouthful, his face became even darker, and it seemed as if life was gradually leaving him: "This master has been crazy all his life, and has too many shortcomings in many aspects. He is not like a monk, but this point I still have self-knowledge, but more importantly, even if I could practice dual cultivation, I would never choose a six-phase woman."
Ling Cang was even more surprised when he heard this: "Why?"
