Chapter 1,237 Ten thousand monsters give birth to Buddha, solemn and strange

"Outside of Suzhou City, in the Five Jue Cave of Hidden Dragon Cave, is there still evil spirit?"

Li Yan walked into the mountain and watched the sunshine after the rain falling on the forest. It was full of vitality and everything was blooming. However, a faint trace of evil spirit formed an obvious trace and extended all the way into the distance.

In a world where the energy of heaven and earth is abundant and lively, all spirits have the opportunity to practice.

Humans can seize the creation of heaven and earth, invade the mysteries of the sun and moon, and achieve enlightenment and become immortals. Flowers, grass, insects, and animals can also absorb the aura of heaven and earth, and the essence of the sun and moon, thereby opening up their spiritual wisdom and achieving various changes.

Of course, due to the gap in acquired cultivation, the status and achievements of monsters are often difficult to match that of human practitioners. After finally surviving, they have entered the throne of gods and Buddhas, and have a good opportunity to achieve righteousness. At the critical moment, they have to go down to the world as monsters and do whatever they want.

Go back to your old job.

That was an anecdote from the past, but the current demon clan in Nanzhan Buzhou is as withered as the Taoist sect, and most of them cannot escape from the world.

For example, Chi Lian's red-scaled giant python clan lives outside Suzhou City, very close to the environment where humans live, and has very little contact with them. It is not that they have changed their temper, but that the Nine Tribulations have dealt with demons

The threat to human beings is far greater than that of human practitioners. Those monster groups that still show off their ferocious killings have been wiped out long ago. The remaining ones either stay away from human settlements and completely hide in the barren mountains and old forests, or they become like the red-scaled giants.

The python clan, after hundreds of years of exploration, has found the comfort zone of survival.

That was the situation in Nanzhanbu Continent. What would happen to this so-called Dongsheng Shenzhou?

There are still demons.

Li Yan had done a little trial before and mentioned the story of the centipede and the golden rooster when explaining the origin of the name "Chicken Cing Temple". Monk Shoucheng was not surprised by this. It can be seen that for Buddhists, spirits are also common.

The key is how will these spirits behave? Are they still competing against each other? Do they need Buddhist practice to conquer the demons, or do they have another special way of getting along with them?

Following his breath, Li Yan walked in the direction of Wujue Cave with slow but urgent steps.

The evil spirit is getting stronger and stronger, and there are more traces of snakes crawling on the ground and mountain walls. But other than that, everything else is clean and tidy, as if someone is cleaning it all the time.

Not to mention the hellish scene in the Lion and Camel Kingdom, even ordinary goblin caves have debris scattered on the roadside, and the air is full of stench, but this place is not said to be filthy, it even has a fragrance.

Li Yan was thinking to himself, his brows moved slightly, and he looked toward the southwest.

coming!

The scope of his consciousness-only exploration was too wide. It took about half a quarter of an hour before the sound of tinkling bells came from far away. After a while, a little snake spirit patrolling the mountain came into view.

This snake spirit has transformed into legs, swinging its waist, wearing a small vest on its upper body, a flag with the word "order" stuck on its back, a bell hanging around its waist, and banging a clapper in its hand.

He shouted: "The king asked me to patrol the mountain! The road is slippery on rainy days, so be careful on the mountain road!"

If it weren't for the slightly sharp tone and weird accent, he would be no different from the night watchman in the city.

Li Yan stopped and waited for the other party.

"Huh?"

When the little snake saw the human figure, it subconsciously wanted to avoid it at first, but after taking a closer look, it tightened its waistcoat, hung its clapper around its waist, and said respectfully: "I don't know if the master is visiting me Qingfeng."

Cave, if you miss something far away, you still hope to see the sea!"

"Qingfeng Cave..."

Wujue Cave was renamed to this. Li Yan sniffed the breeze in the air, looked at this polite fairy, and said calmly: "It is worthy of its name. You are welcome, take me to the cave to have a look."

"please!"

The little demon bowed again, and then banged the clapper vigorously: "The eminent monk is here to visit, and the plum blossoms will shine!"

The front quickly became lively, and the two teams knew at first sight that the snake spirits who had experienced training filed out and lined up in front of the cave door to greet everyone.

Of course, compared to the snake spirits patrolling the mountain, they were less talkative and looked a little embarrassed. They looked at the visitor with awe, bent down at the waist, and almost crawled on the ground.

"Boom! Boom! Boom——"

And deep in the Qingfeng Cave, in the clearly renovated mountain room, a female snake spirit is sitting on a futon. She does not have any fangs, but her figure looks a bit thin. She holds a wooden stick in her slender palm.

Knocking on the wooden fish in front of him.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! An eminent monk is here!"

"What? What kind of good day is this?"

When the little demon hurried inside to report, the snake spirit remained calm and showed extraordinary determination. It was not until he heard that a virtuous monk was coming to the mountain that he suddenly stood up and swam out.

When she arrived at the door, she completely transformed into a human form and saw that fresh and graceful figure walking in.

Although he was not wearing a monk's robe and was dressed as a layman, his body was full of Buddhist light, and his every move was full of the elegance of an eminent monk, making the demon fall in love at first sight.

The snake spirit hurried forward, clasped his palms in the middle, and bowed down: "Little demon Chi Lian, pay your respects to the holy monk!"

Li Yan looked at this "Red Lian".

Apart from the same name, she is almost identical in appearance to Chi Lian from Nanzhan Buzhou, but her figure is much different. She is not as tall as the demon king, and her demeanor and temperament are completely different from the two demons.

However, I already had a sense of familiarity with the old name of the Chen family in Baicao Hall, and Luo Wanxiang, who entered Buddhism in Jiming Temple, and the snake spirit outside Suzhou City had a Chi Lian, so it seemed not unimaginable.

Li Yan looked as usual: "I am not a holy monk, and this trip is also about discovering evil spirits. I have come here all the way, so there is no need to make a big show of it."

"Chi Lian" didn't dare to continue calling him, and his attitude remained respectful: "There are always vegetarian meals in the cave, and I hope the master will give you a favor."

"On the way to the West to seek scriptures, Monk Tang was in danger many times because of his fasting. Now the goblin's cave actually always prepares fasting meals and welcomes monks to come often.

Li Yan only thought that the mouse was a bridesmaid for the cat, but he did not refuse: "Okay." "Chi Lian" led him all the way deep into the cave. In the spacious and clean mountain room, the two parties sat down on the futon, and all the little demons were sitting upright.

Serving vegetarian dishes one by one using wooden utensils.

Looking at the skilled appearance, it is obviously not the first time to entertain monks. Perhaps the snake spirits usually eat their food as close to these as possible. No wonder the kings are all thin. If those little monsters can also perfectly transform into human forms, I am afraid that all of them will

The noodles are dishy and malnourished.

Li Yan didn't know whether he thought it was funny or ridiculous.

He is a human being, so naturally he stands from a human standpoint. If a monster harms people, he will be eliminated even if he is forced to survive.

But now looking at these monsters who are more docile than humans, I can't feel any joy at all.

Eating food and chanting Buddha's name shows no wildness. Is this a demon, or a slave in demon skin? The problem is that demons can become slaves, but what about other creatures?

He was thinking and pondering, "Chi Lian" raised his glass and sipped the plain wine, then looked at that crystal-clear jade face, and couldn't help but stare a few more times.

These few glances are very common. After all, anyone would subconsciously want to see more of such an unworldly figure. Jiajing wanted to see more, but he couldn't.

"not good!"

But then, "Chi Lian" looked away, as if he had made a big mistake, murmured in his mouth, recited scriptures silently, and began to reflect on himself.

Li Yan didn't quite understand: "What's wrong with you?"

"Chi Lian" clasped his hands together: "The little demon once had lustful thoughts in the past, but thanks to the mercy of our Buddha, he did not make a big mistake. Now he has evil thoughts and sins." Li Yan frowned slightly: "You have never had lustful thoughts?

"

"Chi Lian" thought this was torture, and hurriedly said seriously: "My Buddhist teachings, joy, anger, sorrow, and all kinds of desires should not be moved. If you move, you will fall into evil. Although we monsters are not as powerful as humans, we still strictly adhere to the right path.

, don’t dare to make mistakes…

Li Yan was silent.

Although Buddhism emphasizes that the four elements are empty and not affected by one's own emotions, it is not the right way to cut off everything.

That would cause a sense of oppression to human nature, not to mention that the emotional fluctuations of demons are inherently violent. It is too difficult or even impossible to be like a puddle of still water without any ripples.

So this demon used to have wild desires, but now he has become a warrior for all vegetation and so on!

Li Yan frowned: "When did you have lustful thoughts?" "Chi Lian" remembered it very clearly: "It was only thirty-eight years ago. I didn't want to and almost violated it again. It's a sin!"

"More than thirty years ago, 'Wandering, lustful thoughts..."

Li Yan had a terrible conjecture in his mind, and the panic gradually gathered in his eyebrows when he saw "Chi Lian" again. He could no longer sit back and ignore it, so he began to recite the meditation mantra, supplemented by a lecture: "All living beings have troubles, and troubles are neither born nor destroyed.

, not dirty or pure, neither increasing nor decreasing. The tangible is born from the formless, incapable of being, and everything returns to nothingness.

"Chi Lian" gradually calmed down as he listened, and the little demons surrounding him even gathered around, all of them listening attentively to the lecture.

After Li Yan finished speaking the scriptures, he saw golden lotuses blooming on the ground at some unknown time, making the originally tidy cave bathed in the light of Buddha, creating a peaceful scene.

The demons were sincerely convinced and chanted in unison: "Thank you so much, holy monk, for teaching the Dharma! Namo Amitabha!"

Li Yan was silent again.

His attainments in Buddhism are there, but they are definitely not to the level of flowers falling from the sky and golden lotuses sprouting from the ground. It can only be said that the environment here is so suitable for Buddhist lectures that thousands of monsters gave birth to Buddhas, forming a scene that is both solemn and weird.

Of course, all the demons had nothing but respect, and "Chi Lian" showed sincere joy: "Today I heard a sermon from a holy monk, which is worth a hundred years of hard work for us!"

Just when Li Yan was about to speak, his eyes narrowed and he sighed softly: "I didn't expect that I couldn't avoid it..."

The snake spirit who had just patrolled the mountain also exclaimed: "Your Majesty! You are so happy! You can't be like this!"

"Chi Lian" froze.

Happiness, anger, sadness, shock, and confusion all arise from the mind, and these are all "troubles" in Buddhism and are obstacles to spiritual practice.

And these obstacles are not allowed by this world. Anger can't do it, and joy can't do it either. It can only turn into an ancient well without ripples and silence.

Of course, this restriction does not require every monster to strictly abide by it, as it is linked to the cultivation level.

Among the demons in the cave, "Red Lian" has the strongest demonic aura, and she is the most restricted.

Big, other little demons are weak in cultivation, and may be able to be more relaxed, but "Chi Lian" was too happy, and the extreme joy caused sadness, which immediately triggered an aura in her body, making her whole body tremble.

It was not only an emotional imbalance, but more like breaking a fragile balance. The snake spirit who was eating fast and chanting Buddha's words had a friendly look on his face just now, but now he became ferocious, his mouth was grinning, and he was spitting out scarlet words and hissing.

The demons looked at Da Hao, but Li Yan felt familiar.

This is what a snake spirit should look like...

However, this state did not last long. "Chi Lian" was shaken all over, and a fishy smell separated from his body, making the air in the cave instantly become filthy.

Obviously this is not just the smell, but also the pollution to the surroundings.

Fortunately, the fresh air in the Qingfeng Cave also surged, wrapping around the sky from all directions like ink dripping into the clear lake. The lake did not sit still and waited, but rose up to resist. The water surface turned into a real mirror, allowing the ink to roll back and forth on it.

It's there, but it can't penetrate.

The same is true at this time. The surrounding world is actively rejecting this evil breath and maintaining its own purity.

But if you hold on for too long, you will lose. Such a stalemate will definitely not work. "Chi Lian" fell down and murmured: "The little demon is guilty of polluting the world! I beg the Buddha to accept my calamity!"

While she was praying devoutly, a ray of golden light suddenly fell down, quietly penetrated the mountain wall, came to the top of the head, wrapped up the smelly evil thoughts, and then suddenly withdrew and disappeared.

From "Chi Lian" to all the little demons, they all spoke in unison and said sincerely: "My Buddha is compassionate and saves all living beings!"

Li Yan watched this so-called "tribulation thought" being taken away by the golden light, his fingers slightly spread, and finally did not choose to interfere.

Even if his guess is correct, there is no point in taking action at this time. What really needs to be done is to uncover the truth and find out why the world has become like this.

When the cave calmed down, Li Yan said: "It seems to be a false alarm. Since the Demon King has escaped from the disaster, how about you help me?"

"Chi Lian"'s expression returned to calm, without sadness or joy: "Holy Monk, please give me your instructions!"

Li Yan said: "I want to find a turtle, which is also a monster. It has extraordinary talents. I don't know.

Is there anything the Demon King can do?"

What he is looking for is the little turtle.

Now that I think about it, that mysterious turtle probably came from Dongsheng Shenzhou.

I remember that when I fished the little turtle for the first time, I looked towards the eastern sea of ​​Buzhou from the south. The flowing sea was actually bordered by the fog.

The little turtle has been able to breathe fairy spirit from the beginning. Now placed in the environment of Dongsheng Shenzhou, it suddenly becomes reasonable.

Combined with the fact that the little turtle took the initiative to let the immortals get on his back and smuggled here, the process was very easy. Is this his round trip route?

Therefore, finding this turtle will be of great help, whether it is solving the current dilemma or finding other partners.

Facts have proved that demons do know demons better. After "Chi Lian" carefully asked about the characteristics of the little turtle, he thought for a moment and said: "The little demon is not sure, but according to what the holy monk said, it seems to be a giant turtle."

pulse

Li Yan said: "Juao's lineage?"

"Chilian" faced the east: "I have three fairy islands in Dongzhou, Penglai, Fangzhang and Yingzhou. They are located on the back of the giant turtle and swim in the sea!
