Shen Lang bowed respectfully towards the nine-headed giant lion.
The nine-headed giant lion phantom said calmly: "No need to thank me, everything is predestined. The power of my will has been kept for so long, perhaps just to wait for the arrival of you, the chosen one."
"Although I don't know who arranged the "void confinement" method outside the Sanxing Moon Cave, but this method can't last long. Boy, you don't have much time, please enter the main hall quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, the nine-headed giant lion's phantom opened its mouth and spat out a stream of golden light, which was accurately directed towards the main hall door of Fangcun Mountain.
"Buzz buzz!"
Suddenly, the door of the main hall of Fangcun Mountain was slowly opened, and a soft and dazzling white light poured out from the door, which for a moment made people unable to open their eyes.
But this light does not contain any edge, giving people a sense of tranquility, tranquility, and solemnity.
Shen Lang took a deep breath and strode towards the palace door.
Jade Rakshasa was not qualified to visit Patriarch Bodhi, so he had to stay outside the temple and wait for Shen Lang to come out.
Fortunately, this place is guarded by the power of will of the Nine Spirits Yuansheng, so the Jade Rakshasa is not worried about his own safety.
There are two rows of gilded characters carved on the door pillars on both sides of the main hall door of Fangcun Mountain, which are "Xianyue Sanxing Cave" and "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain".
Although Shen Lang had seen these two sentences more than once, he always felt that they meant something.
With a heart of piety and awe, Shen Lang walked into the hall.
Upon entering, the palace is empty, rather simple than simple.
The walls on the ground are covered with blue bricks and gravel, and the wooden beams and pillars around them are also ordinary locust wood. There are no luxurious decorations in the hall, and even the tables and chairs are made of ordinary stones.
This is the most simple hall that Shen Lang has ever seen since he entered the real immortal world, which shows the indifferent temperament of Patriarch Bodhi.
Although the main hall is simple, the space here is vaguely filled with white light, as if you are in the clouds, giving people a sense of relaxation and joy, indescribable comfort and peace of mind.
There is a sapphire stone platform directly above the main hall. There is a futon placed on the stone platform. It seems that Patriarch Bodhi is preaching here.
Apart from the stone platform, only one calligraphy and painting on the wall is quite conspicuous.
The material of this calligraphy and painting is extremely ordinary rice paper. Because of its age, the picture is blurry and the handwriting on it can only be barely legible.
There are two rows of words written in the painting, each of which is:
"The cycle of cause and effect, the six paths of reincarnation. I am the only one in heaven and on earth."
"The Tao follows nature, remove the false and preserve the true. What is not right is evil, what is not good is evil."
Shen Lang recited it silently, and suddenly felt endless aftertaste. He couldn't help but admired: "It's really wonderful!"
Being able to write these two rows of words is enough to prove that Patriarch Bodhi is proficient in Buddhism and Taoism. No wonder Jiuling Yuansheng outside the palace gate said he is omnipotent.
At this moment, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared on the futon on the sapphire stone platform, and a human-shaped shadow gradually condensed.
The phantom is wearing a green robe, and looks like an old man, but his appearance cannot be seen clearly. A strong white halo lights up behind him, like a divine light coming into the world, which makes people unable to stop looking at him!
Shen Lang's mind was greatly shaken. The aura emanating from the phantom of the green-robed old man in front of him was unusually vast and ethereal, as if it was integrated with the heaven and earth, making people involuntarily feel awe.
"My little friend, we meet again."
The old man in green robes said with a smile, and his kind voice gave people a feeling of spring breeze.
Shen Lang's eyes widened and he immediately bowed: "Junior Shen Lang, I have met Immortal Ancestor Bodhi!"
The green-robed phantom before was not the Bodhi Patriarch. Although it could not be the Bodhi Patriarch himself, it was most likely a remnant soul left by the other party, or the power of his will.
"My little friend, Pindao may not be your senior, so you don't need to salute."
Patriarch Bodhi smiled and shook his head, and said a meaningful word.
Shen Lang looked puzzled and was about to ask a question when Patriarch Bodhi suddenly said: "I just saw that my little friend seems to have some understanding of the Chinese characters in this painting. Why don't you share your opinion?"
"This... junior has a low level of cultivation, so he really doesn't have any insights."
Shen Lang said awkwardly.
Patriarch Bodhi smiled lightly and said: "No, no, it's a very interesting thing for you and me to practice Zen and preach, but it doesn't matter."
"Okay, then this junior will show off his shame."
Seeing that Patriarch Bodhi's words reached this point, Shen Lang could only express what he was thinking. "The words "karma cycle, six paths of reincarnation" in the first row of words should represent the Buddhist concept. Buddhism pays attention to the reincarnation of cause and effect, and uses good deeds in this life.
In exchange for blessings in the next life, the body is just a temporary skin. For this reason, it can even be rootless.
The heart is formless and formless. For them, practice is just to escape from the suffering in this life and exchange for the perfect merits in the next life."
"And "I am the only one in heaven and on earth" may be because those great Buddhas with perfect merits and virtues have transcended the reincarnation of cause and effect, and can control everything in the world, and their destiny is created by me." "The second row of words represents the concept of Taoism, "Tao follows nature."
It means that all living things in the world follow the laws of heaven. "Removing the false and preserving the true" means that the ascetics abandon the things that are not good for them, keep the things that are good for them, and show the truth.
The real self." "Everything in the world has Yin and Yang, good and evil, and "either good or evil, not good or evil" represents the opposition of good and evil in the self. All things bear Yin and embrace Yang. Yin and Yang can never be
Integration and unity. After the ascetic attains enlightenment, the self may move towards a certain
Such an extreme."
When Shen Lang said these words, there was also a thoughtful look on his face.
He suddenly thought of Deng Yin, Son of the Blood God. This person was the only son who defied heaven and was not on the list of gods, but had cultivated the body of the Taoist Heavenly Lord. He was also a model of "extreme evil".
Could it be that if you want to achieve righteousness, you really have to go to extremes?
Patriarch Bodhi laughed and said: "It's interesting. There are thousands of poor Taoists, but there are only two people who can tell the meaning of the words in this painting without thinking, and you are the third person!"
"Juniors are just doing their jobs, Immortal Ancestor is over-reputed."
Shen Lang said modestly. Although he was curious, he couldn't ask who the first two people were.
"My little friend, you are the chosen one. Can you tell whether Pindao is good or evil?" Patriarch Bodhi asked with a smile.
"this……"
Shen Lang hesitated for a long time. Originally, there was no need to think about this question, but Shen Lang himself didn't know why and didn't say it outright.
Patriarch Bodhi seems to be a kind person, but many of his disciples have killed countless people. Patriarch Bodhi should bear the responsibility, at least he is not a "good teacher".
But Shen Lang vaguely felt that Patriarch Bodhi might have another purpose in recruiting disciples. "The younger generation cannot judge the good and evil of the Immortal Ancestor. Good and evil are not an immutable standard. There may be ten thousand definitions for ten thousand people. The younger generation did not feel it.
My ancestors were malicious towards me, so in the eyes of the younger generation, the Immortal Ancestor is a good person." Shen Lang said calmly.
