The feud between Bai Suzhen and Fa Hai can be said to have been entangled for thousands of years.
Seventeen hundred years ago, when Fa Hai was not yet a monk, he caught Bai Suzhen, who was just a little white snake, and prepared to eat her. Thanks to the rescue of Xu Xian, who was a little shepherd boy in her previous life, Bai Suzhen escaped from death.
.
Hundreds of years later, Fahai began to practice Buddhism and Taoism. However, after thousands of years, he was about to achieve the status of Arhat. As a result, the elixir given by the Jade Emperor was eaten by the White Snake in revenge, so that Fahai became a monk.
The road was interrupted, so I had no choice but to join the world and continue practicing.
Now, he has been the abbot of Jinshan Temple for decades, reciting Buddhist scriptures every day, his cultivation is gradually improving, and he seems to be showing signs of achieving Arhat status.
But in fact, Fa Hai still has inner demons. He seems to be only one step away from Arhat status, but it seems like a huge chasm.
Fahai devoted himself to cultivating Buddhism, practiced hard, and never slackened off. Therefore, whether he was practicing Buddhism in his heart or practicing hard in his body, he did extremely well.
But cultivating Buddhism is different from cultivating immortality. Cultivating Buddhism requires a sincere heart and selflessness. If the heart is not sincere and the ego is too strong, even if you are bald on your head, you are in a Buddhist temple, and you are wearing a cassock, you will not make any progress.
In other words, if Bai Suzhen is not subdued, Fahai's thoughts will not be clear.
If the thoughts are not clear, the old monk will be hindered by the deep self-attachment, and the obstacles in cultivating the mind will become deeper and deeper. Of course, it will be difficult to make any progress.
Of course, this sea of dharma is willing to achieve Buddhahood and save all sentient beings. However, the cause and effect of the mortal world has not been eliminated, and the "self-grasping" is too heavy. I have made the big mistakes of "self-intention", "self-arrogance", "self-love" and "self-view", and my awakened self is in trouble.
Bai Suzhen's obsession with subduing her was so strong that she was infected by her inner demons and was unable to make any progress.
If one cannot see one's nature, the Buddha's teachings are the demon's teachings, and the Buddha's views are the demon's views. The biggest enemy of Buddhist practitioners is actually oneself, which is the so-called "self-grasping".
The Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree for seven days and seven nights. He meditated silently, subdued the demons, and entered various meditations. The demons he subdued were the great demons from the Six Desire Heavens.
Investigate one by one, finally see the clear nature of the mind, and achieve the great perfection of Tathagatagarbha.
The World-Honored One Tathagata ordered the Dragon-Subduing Arhat to be reincarnated into the human world to subdue demons and save the people. This is actually a kind of Buddhist experience. Let’s see how the Dragon-Subduing Arhat is in his “self-grasping” state of mind.
Facts have proved that the Arhat who subdues the dragon is crazy, looks like a beggar, laughs and curses, plays with the world, and does an excellent job in Buddhist spiritual cultivation. He does not blindly subdue demons and eliminate demons, but enters the world with his own body, saves people, and eliminates evil spirits.
Heavenly calamity, transforming demons and awakening the world.
Once he eliminates cause and effect and sets foot on the Lingshan Mountain, he descends the dragon, Arhat, practices the Bodhisattva Vehicle, reaches the other shore, and eventually becomes a fully enlightened Buddha.
Fahai, on the other hand, is obsessed with attaining the Arahant status of the Great Perfection of the Sravakayana at most.
In human terms, if Daoji has made meritorious deeds in the world, after returning to Lingshan Mountain, he can progress from the position of Arhat to the position of Buddha. As for the vacancy left after his progress, Buddha is very optimistic about Fahai and hopes that he can achieve perfection in practice and achieve the status of Arhat.
Bit.
But the premise is that Fahai must eliminate the obsession in his heart, that is, surrender to Bai Suzhen.
Of course, the Buddha who is sitting in the lotus position knows something, and Fahai and Bai Suzhen in front of him also know that no matter how Fahai surrenders to Bai Suzhen, he does not dare to kill the other party.
Because Bai Suzhen had an extraordinary background, once she was killed, it would only lead to greater karma.
"Amitabha, Bai Suzhen, the sea of suffering is boundless, and you will never turn back. You are greedy for the prosperity of the world, commit sins in the world, but don't know how to repent, and why don't you just surrender?"
Fa Hai took a step forward, shouted the Buddha's name, and looked at Bai Suzhen with eyes full of compassion, but who could know the ego deep in his eyes?
Bai Suzhen pursed her lips and said nothing, but Xiaoqing didn't know Fahai's identity and shouted sternly: "Old monk, I see you are also a highly qualified monk, why are you so old and cloudy? My sister and I are here to save people, and we saved Qiantang.
Li Captou from the county government, my sister is married to Li Captou’s brother-in-law, everyone knows that you are talking nonsense here for no reason, aren’t you afraid that Buddha and Bodhisattva will blame you?”
"Witch, stop confusing right and wrong here!"
A pian next to Fa Hai said with a ferocious smile: "Who doesn't know that you are the thief Qing Dawang who stole the money from Qiantang County two years ago! When you were repelled by Li Captou and others, and you held a grudge, your two sisters turned into mortals.
The woman here seduced Li Captou's wife and brother, and her plan was not trivial. As expected, she showed her flaws today, so there is no way she can deny it!"
"What did you say?" Xiaoqing was really angry when she heard that he was blatantly confusing right and wrong.
"Is it not you, the Qing King, who stole the treasure back then? Didn't your two sisters approach Xu Xian for revenge? Otherwise, with your two methods and your sister's ability, why would you marry a little doctor from the security hall?
Isn't it because his brother-in-law is the head catcher of the Yamen?" The pawnbroker scolded him coldly, seeing that his words were coherent and arrogant, but his words made everyone nod their heads, which was really irritating.
Fa Hai also nodded and said: "Li Captou has been working in the Yamen for more than ten generations. He has been tainted with the luck of the dynasty and cannot be bullied by you evil spirits. So you approached Xu Xian with the intention of revenge. Once Li Captou dies, you can use
Conspiracy and conspiracy to poison the people and do evil." He said, looking at Bai and Qing, and sneered: "You evil beast, what a vicious method."
Xiaoqing was extremely angry and was about to speak, but Bai Suzhen held her down gently, looked at Fahai, and said with a smile: "Old Zen Master, are you being too overbearing by pressing on like this? I and I
My husband is a loving couple, so he came to save my brother-in-law. This is just justice. You are confusing right and wrong and talking nonsense. Are you not trying to break up the family?"
"Hmph!" Fa Hai sneered: "Don't forget your identity. How can a monster who does all kinds of evil and harms the law of heaven and earth be compatible with others and enjoy life in the world? It's better to put down Capt. Li, surrender obediently, and be with me in front of the Buddha.
Practice and you will have great blessings in the future!"
Bai Suzhen smiled faintly: "Fahai, since you know my identity, of course you should know that Xianggong Xu and I are a loving couple, and then you should also know the purpose of our rescue of Li Captou. Monks do not lie, am I right?
"
"Amitabha!" Fahai's snow-white eyebrows twitched slightly and he said, "Although you are cultivators, your evil roots are difficult to eradicate and will inevitably endanger the public!"
Xiaoqing couldn't hold back and shouted: "We came to save people and never hurt anyone's life. Why do you say that we will endanger people? What do you think?"
"In the past, you were free and happy, teasing the government, and Li Captou was punished. Now that Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian are married, you are in danger today. It can be seen that Xu Xian, you will definitely be involved in lawsuits and will not be able to live a stable life. Isn't this harmful to the public?"
Everyone seemed to understand his paradoxical words, but Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing understood. Their faces turned pale and they looked at each other with solemn expressions.
Fa Hai's words are a bit difficult to understand, but if you speak in human terms, it would be "You should be punished if you are contaminated with cause and effect!"
To a mortal, this is simply fart.
But for those who practice Taoism, this sentence is extremely lethal, comparable to "Fellow Taoist, please stay."
As long as these monsters are greedy for the human world, they will be contaminated with cause and effect, affecting the reincarnation of many people's grievances, and at the same time affecting the practice of Qing and Bai.
"I remember that it is not easy for you to practice. If you return to Qingfeng Cave in Qingcheng Mountain to continue practicing, I can let you go. Is that okay?"
Fa Hai had the upper hand at this time, so he smiled and said noble words.
In fact, he knew in his heart that these two green and white snakes were contaminated by human karma and would definitely not leave.
"This time your true colors are exposed in public. The next step is to separate you from Xu Xian, interrupt your practice, and make it difficult for you to escape forever, so that you can relieve the obsession of the poor monk!" He thought in his heart.
"It seems that this monk can't make sense. Sister, let me take care of him!" Xiaoqing shouted, flew forward and stabbed him with a sword.
Fa Hai sneered, and when he shined the purple gold bowl in his hand, a ray of Buddha light shot out and shone on Xiao Qing.
Xiaoqing only felt a great force of light pressing down on him, binding him. A feeling of fear enveloped his whole body. He couldn't help but feel a burst of pain, and bursts of screams came out of his mouth.
"Xiaoqing!" Bai Suzhen was horrified when she saw this, so she had to put down Li Gongfu who was seriously injured and unconscious, and withdrew to attack Fahai.
Fahai sneered, withdrew the golden bowl, and slammed the Vajra Zen Staff in his hand to the ground, making a loud roar, his eyes flashed, and the aura on his body instantly rose up, as majestic as a mountain.
The eminent Buddhist monk is truly remarkable!
brush!
He was fast, and Bai Suzhen's millennium cultivation was not fake. Her sword movement was faster, and she saw a shadow of a gorgeous sword whistling like a horse. She walked with the sword and instantly the sword became one, and she launched a continuous offensive without any politeness.
Buzz buzz...
Sword shadows were everywhere as far as the eye could see. They were densely packed and almost covered the sky. They were fierce and domineering. Fa Hai only paused slightly and seemed to be overwhelmed by the sword shadows in the sky. He was afraid that if he was not careful, he would die under Bai Suzhen's sword.
But Fa Hai has been practicing hard for many years, how can he be an easy person? He had already prepared for today's battle, and with a wave of his hand, the purple gold bowl was raised and shined towards Bai Suzhen.
"Ah..." Bai Suzhen also cried out in pain.
"Sister!" Xiaoqing rushed to Bai Suzhen.
However, the purple golden bowl was given by the Buddha himself and has infinite power. It is most suitable for subduing demons and exterminating demons. As soon as Xiao Qing approached Bai Suzhen, he was shaken away by the Buddhist golden light and flew several feet away. He vomited blood and almost
Extremely exhausted.
"Xiaoqing, go quickly and find Feng Zhou, he is the only one who can save us." Bai Suzhen screamed desperately in pain.
She knew that Xiaoqing would never leave if she asked him to, but if Feng Zhou was used to remind her, maybe Xiaoqing would go to Feng Zhou and take the opportunity to get rid of the disaster here.
When Xiao Qing heard this, she knew what Feng Zhou was capable of. She thought that Fahai had the support of Buddhism behind him and was unable to resist. Only by finding Feng Zhou and using Taoist forces to resist could this disaster be resolved.
She was not a mother-in-law, so she immediately turned into a shooting star and fled away like a flying star.
Fahai was completely indifferent, and just used the purple gold bowl to shine on Bai Suzhen, with a sneer on his face as if he had been avenged.
