The changes in the aura of the row of blood characters on the white paper reminded Su Wu that the paper might just be a question left by Jian Zhen to those who came after him.
Regardless of whether "Jianzhen" has ever been troubled by this topic,
At least he solved the problem in the end,
Only then can we have the opportunity to leave the questions for future generations to examine.
This is a completely different concept from confronting the inner demons of Jianzhen. Solving the problems is much easier than solving the ‘demon of Jianzhen’.
Su Wu looked at the words 'Buddha is originally a demon',
I pondered for a long time,
He opened his mouth and said, "Don't you see?
A Taoist who has learned nothing but does nothing, does not get rid of delusions and does not seek truth.
The true nature of ignorance is the Buddha nature, and the illusory and empty body is the Dharmakaya.
The Dharmakaya realizes that there is nothing, and its origin is the innocent Buddha.
The five aggregates come and go in vain, and the three poisonous water bubbles appear and disappear.
Verify the appearance, no one can do it. Eliminate Abi’s karma in an instant.
If you deceive sentient beings with lies, you will invite disasters such as your tongue and dust.
After suddenly awakening, Tathagata meditated, and the body of the Six Perfections and Ten Thousand Elements became perfect.
There are obviously six interests in the dream, but when I wake up, there is nothing."
The Buddhist verse that Su Wu was reciting silently was an excerpt from the Enlightenment Song of Zen Master Yongjia Xuanjue during the Tang Dynasty. It discussed the relationship between "empty" and "real", "fundamental" and "delusion"
,
Contains arguments from Buddha and Demon.
Master Yongjia Xuanjue was also a Zen master who preceded Jianzhen. It is impossible that Jianzhen had not heard his song of enlightenment.
This part of the sermon song has been recited,
All the malice on the white paper disappeared.
The human stones and internal organs stones that squirmed from all directions, squeezing the arm that Su Wu extended into the 'Buddha niche', scattered one after another and recovered as before.
Su Wu stretched out his hand and lifted it gently,
I took off the white paper.
There is a scroll behind the white paper.
He took out the painting scroll from the 'Buddhist niche' and lit the oil lamp above the Buddhist niche, which was held in the mouth of a human-shaped stone.
There was still a small amount of lamp oil in the oil lamp.
Lighting for more than ten hours is not a problem.
As the oil lamp was lit, the stone chamber with 'human stones' in all directions appeared in An Gang's field of vision. He suddenly saw the scene in front of him, his mouth was wide open, but he didn't say anything for a long time.
When Su Wu opened his mouth to call him, he took a deep breath: "Here - there are so many people and rocks here? Zhu - Mr. Zhu Zhao, it's so scary!
There are so many human stones here!
The Nine Veins of the World will produce ten years, no! The number of human stones produced within fifty years cannot compare to the number of human stones stored in this stone chamber!"
An Gang shouted for a while,
Suddenly he turned to look at Su Wu, his eyes frightened: "Jun Zhuzhao, you won't kill me to silence me, will you?!"
At this time, only An Gang and Su Wu know about this mineral vein.
If Su Wu wants to monopolize this mine and is worried that An Gang will leak the news, he only needs to kill him - everything will be solved!
In the face of great wealth,
Many people have difficulty retaining their sanity,
What was once a kind and honest gentleman can turn into a ferocious villain in an instant!
Therefore, An Gang will ask again.
"With so many human stones, the sword-making institute is no longer restricted by others. It can forge as many killing stone swords as it wants, using massive resources to build them.
It may not be impossible to create a famous sword that surpasses the supreme level and can be ranked as the ‘number one in the world’.”
Su Wu looked at An Gang, shook his head with a smile, and said slowly: "As long as Mr. An Gang is willing to merge the sword forging factory under the 'Inoue family', I am willing to give Mr. An Gang the title of 'middle-aged man' of the Inoue family."
Bit.
Of course, I am not a bully.
If Mr. An Gang is not willing,
I will also let Mr. An Gang leave.
Therefore, Mr. An Gang does not need to worry about his life.
A craftsman like An Gang-kun who can forge a "supreme sword" is far more valuable than a "supreme sword". The world does not know An Gang-kun's talent. It is because the world is ignorant, and it is not An Gang-kun's fault.
Even though Mr. An Gang is unwilling to join forces with me,
I will also let you go - even if Mr. An Gang can add more glory to history in the future and leave behind some famous swords passed down from ancient times to the present."
After finishing speaking, Su Wu looked at An Gang quietly.
After getting along with him in recent days, he has a very good understanding of An Gangjun's character.
He is convinced,
After I said these words, the other party was definitely willing to join forces with me.
An Gang sensed the calmness and sincerity in Su Wu's eyes, his thin face was slightly red, and his eyes were red. He pursed his lips for a long time, and his beard trembled under his chin. Suddenly - An Gang's eyes darkened, and he met Su Wu's eyes.
He shook his head: "A scholar will die for his confidant!
With a strong man like Zhu Zhaojun protecting the Inoue family,
The Inoue family will surely rise to great heights in the future!
Being able to hold the position of 'middle-aged man' in the Inoue family is enough for me to leave my name in history.
Zhuzhaojun has so much faith in me, I should die in repayment!
It's a pity - now I am a craftsman under Genji's special care. I'm afraid that after I go to Kyoto, I will never have freedom again in this life!
It will even become a test beheading object for the supreme sword that I forged with my own hands!
Under such circumstances, I seek refuge with Lord Zhuzhao. I can only bring disaster to Lord Zhuzhao, bring disaster to the Inoue family, and bring about the unending anger of the Genji - you treat me like a nobleman of the country, and I cannot repay you as a nobleman of the country.
What a pity!
The only way to prove your true feelings is to commit seppuku!"
The more An Gang talked, the more excited he became. He actually began to take off his upper body clothes, knelt down, and took out the wakizashi from his waist!
"No, An Gang-kun!"
Su Wu thought he had predicted all An Gang's reactions.
But I still didn’t expect the other party’s reaction to be so intense!
He crossed the stone chamber in a few steps, and when he saw that Anzuna's blade was about to pierce the left side of his abdomen, he took out the Tenma Pill and knocked the wakizashi out of Anzuna-kun's hand with one strike!
"How can the body, hair and skin be damaged so easily by your parents?
Why do you risk your life if you are an ant?" Su Wu looked seriously, looking at An Gang who was kneeling on his belly. After his expression calmed down a little, he continued slowly, "Jun An Gang, everything is man-made.
Genji is not an invincible enemy, it is just a temporary difficulty.
Could it be that this momentary difficulty can make a master craftsman who has forged a supreme sword shrink back?"
"The Yuan and Ping families are really the hegemons in the world.
How can we defeat such an enemy?" An Gang muttered to himself with a dejected look on his face.
"You don't need to worry about these things.
I will take care of all your matters.
You will not be imprisoned forever, or become a sacrifice for the sword you forged!
An Gangjun,
Instead of thinking hard about these issues, why not think about it carefully? If you and I join forces next time, with the help of so many human stones in this vein, can we still forge a supreme sword?"
Su Wu left questions.
"right here,
Forge another supreme sword?" An Gang shook his head subconsciously, feeling that such a thing was really difficult.
It’s not like we’re in a sword-forging workshop now, where we need people to have people, tools to have tools…
However, An Gang raised his eyes and glanced around the stone chamber.
Only then did I suddenly realize that there were all kinds of tools in the stone room.
Even the various furnishings prove that this was once a blacksmith's foundry!
Su Wu gave him time to calm down, then unfolded the scroll and looked at the scene depicted in the scroll - it was a winding and flying ink mark. In the ink mark, the evil Yaksha and Shura demon could be vaguely seen. Soul, all kinds of inhuman fantasies, countless scales and feathers clustered together, countless claws and hooves superimposed.
Looking at the flying ink mark, Su Wu suddenly felt the charm of "sympathy between heaven and man" contained in it.
At that moment, he seemed to see the evil Yaksha, and the Shura demon souls were intertwined and overlapped in the ink stains.
It was as if there were countless kinds of creatures with flying scales and feathers, trampled by claws and hooves, and merged into strange existences in the ink marks.
On the left side of this ink mark, there is a series of extremely small handwriting: Great Wish Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!
This is a combination of countless inhuman and ferocious things,
What is the relationship with ‘Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva’?
Su Wu frowned slightly.
I noticed that at the end of the row of small regular characters, there was a seal less than a quarter of the size of my thumb.
He examined it carefully and discovered that the seal's writing was 'Seal of Authenticity'.
Everything was consistent with his guess.
Su Wu had never thought of the connection between this ink stain entwined with countless ferocious things and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
At this moment,
An Gang, who had figured it out, walked into the stone room.
He picked up the hammer head in the corner, looked at it and said with emotion: "Even hammers and iron felts are forged with killing stones. I can still use such high-quality tools in my life."
I picked up some hammers, axes, chisels and other tools and placed them on the felt table.
An Gang approached Su Wu and saw that he was frowning at the scroll in his hand. He glanced at the scroll curiously: "This is not - this looks like an ink dragon!
Huh?
The more I look at it, the more I feel that this ink dragon seems to have undergone many changes.
After a while, he transformed into a buffalo that could run on all fours,
After a while, it turned into a flying goshawk...
A simple line of ink seems to contain a fantasy of thousands of objects..."
"Molong?"
An Gang's words made Su Wu thoughtful.
He carefully observed the winding ink mark and didn't see anything about it that looked like an 'Ink Dragon'.
But Anzuna's words reminded him of the Inoue family's "Ritual of the Dragon of One Hundred Thoughts Entering the Ink". Did the "Dragon of One Hundred Thoughts Enter the Ink Illustration" evolve from the current ink stain?
I don’t know how many years ago,
Ah Xiong, Toshio Inoue and Jianzhen actually had an intersection in this killing stone vein?
Why have I never heard A Xiong mention this matter?
Su Wu's thoughts wandered far away, but he forcibly brought them back.
When I return to Inoue’s house again,
He could borrow the "Dragon of One Hundred Thoughts Ink Illustration" from Haruko and see if it was related to the current ink stain.
And what exactly does this ink mark at the moment express?
What is the connection with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?
Jianzhen deliberately left it in the Buddhist niche, what was his purpose?
Confusing thoughts filled Su Wu’s thoughts,
at this time,
He looked at the ink painting again,
Thinking about the questioning left by Jian Zhen - 'Is it true, is it true? Is the Buddha a demon?', the voice of questioning kept echoing in his mind, and he responded to these two questions with his previous answers.
at a certain moment,
All the sounds and thoughts in Su Wu's mind disappeared.
There is only one voice,
Emerging in the boundless white light: "I vow to save all sentient beings, vow to put an end to endless worries, vow to learn countless Dharma doors, and vow to achieve the supreme path of Buddhism - have bodhicitta and practice the path of Bodhisattva."
Bodhisattva Bodhisattva Bodhisattva——
Empty empty empty empty——
Neither existence nor emptiness, emptiness but not emptiness, neither emptiness nor emptiness——
Great Wish Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!
Buddha!"
That voice sounded in the white light along with many noisy sounds.
In the white light, countless evil yakshas suddenly appeared, many inhuman and vicious things!
At this time,
In the sky above the endless white light, an illusory black shadow appeared.
This black figure is covered with a black cassock,
‘He’ clasped his hands together and said, “Bodhisattva!”
The jet-black chains suddenly surged out from behind him, tying up all the demons that appeared in the white light. The jet-black chains snaked away, just like winding ink stains!
“I vow to save all sentient beings boundlessly,
I vow to put an end to endless troubles,
There are countless Dharma doors and I am willing to learn them,
The supreme vow of Buddhism will come true..."
The dark figure recited scriptures, and his figure dissolved in the white light again.
