Chapter two hundred and eighty seventh life and death
It was difficult to distinguish between east, west, north and south, and there was a white light in sight. Wuxu sent out his spiritual consciousness, but found nothing. He only felt a vague fluctuation of life, but there was no spiritual energy. So he looked in a direction and flew for a moment, but it seemed
I felt like I was standing still, and I knew something was wrong, so I just stopped. Then I suddenly saw a black bird flying towards me in the distance opposite me.
The bird was huge, its body was pure black, its head was like a big eagle, its eyes were like two bright pearls in the night, shining with dazzling light, its lips and beak were curved like sharp sickles, its wings were spread out, and it was as big as
Over a hundred meters long, it was fanning rapidly in the air, like a burning black will-o'-the-wisp, coming towards you with great momentum.
Wuxu immediately came out of the Dharma Realm, holding the White Bone Sword and Xingyun Bamboo, and faced him.
The big black bird had a look of disdain on its face, its wings slightly pointed outwards, and it swept diagonally towards Wuxu's White Bone Sword and Xingyun Bamboo.
Wuxu's body of spiritual consciousness immediately shook, and it felt like being chopped on gold and jade, and flew back diagonally. The big black bird also flew back violently, and at the same time uttered human words and shouted, "
Stinky monk, what are you doing?! You can actually hurt the Tianpeng Dharma of this deity!"
When Wuxu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and flew forward for a distance, looking at the big black bird that seemed embarrassed and annoyed, with the white bone sword and Xingyun Bamboo crossed in front of his chest, "It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Xue."
The big black bird, with two thief eyes, stared at the Xingyun Bamboo in Wuxu's hand and said angrily, "Smelly monk, what kind of Xingyun Bamboo is this in your hand? Where did it come from?"
Wuxu avoided answering and asked instead, "You rushed over so aggressively that you knocked the young monk away instead of knocking him with a rake!"
The big black bird spread out its glossy left wing, looked at the slightly dim place above with distress, and cursed angrily, "I was implicated by you and was sucked into this inexplicable place. I came here to look for you."
You reasoned, but you injured the left wing of my Tianpeng Dharma-image! What kind of enlightened monk are you? What kind of Buddha do you practice? What kind of Bodhisattva do you worship?" The speed of his speech became faster and faster, and finally turned into a rapid and sharp cry.
cry.
Wuxu frowned slightly and said displeasedly, "You brought this on yourself." Then he looked around and said, "Right now, the most important thing is how to get out?"
Wuxu asked himself that he was young and had little experience, so he couldn't see the reality here, so he set his sights on this demon cultivator who had lived for who knows how many years.
The big black bird, after hearing Wuxu's words, was about to get angry again, but suddenly it lost all its momentum and sighed, "Stop dreaming. Senior will come later. What do you ask, what do you answer, what do you want, what do you give."
, maybe I can still save my life. Alas, I will suffer the same fate as you." Then, the thief turned around again and asked, "That Xingyun Bamboo of yours can't be saved anyway, why don't you give me a look first?
?”
With that look and tone, it was as if Wuxu was really going to die soon. Wuxu said slightly angrily, "You are such a bird, you are so gloating about others' misfortune. It's fine, I can show it to you, but you have to tell the truth what you have discovered."
?”
The big black bird hesitated for a while and seemed to be quite taboo. Seeing this, Wuxu put away the Xingyun Bamboo and said in a deep voice, "That's all. Just wait for a while, little monk, and the people from the Hidden Moon Sect will naturally come to the door.
.”
After Zhang Ruoyue appeared just now, two white lights shot out from his eyes, attracting Wuxu and the demon cultivator here. Wuxu guessed in his heart: it was the two seniors of the Hidden Moon Sect who were trapped in the Yin Demon Stone.
.These two seniors, according to Zhang Ruoyue, were masters from hundreds of years ago. They must have known the magical effects of Xingyun Bamboo, so they kidnapped him. All he had to do was wait for them to appear.
The big black bird seemed to have discovered something, but he was worried about the cultivation and magical powers of the person who took action. He spoke eloquently and pretended to be crazy, but in fact he was very shrewd and cunning. He was still too lazy to fight with it. Wuxu made up his mind and never stopped.
Ignoring the demon cultivator, he sat cross-legged and kept his eyes open.
When the demon cultivator saw that Wuxu was ignoring him, he took the initiative to come over and announced his family name non-stop beside Wuxu. He said that his surname was Xue Mingfu, that he was from the Jinpeng branch and the Xuanshuiying clan.
Cultivating in the barrier of the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, this time the six peaks of Lushan Mountain were opened, and he followed the Dragon King of the East China Sea up to the Yin Gang Peak. He also said that he had a good relationship with Ao Qing and others, and so on. It can be said that saliva flew everywhere, and the sound hit the sky.
Wuxu always listened but did not speak to such talkative people, and acted like a clay Bodhisattva.
The big black bird rolled its eyes a few times, let out a long sigh, folded its wings dejectedly, and stood there silently.
I don't know how long it took, but Wuxu and the big black bird suddenly felt something in their hearts and raised their heads at the same time.
I saw three crescent moons, suddenly appearing above my head. The middle one was more solid, but smaller in size. The ones on both sides looked a little thinner, but had a faint blush. They circled around, rendering the space here.
The ground was pale red, and it looked extremely weird. As soon as these three illusory and real crescent moons appeared, there seemed to be some inexplicable changes in the space here. Wuxu intuitively felt that he was naked and naked.
Everyone looked at it.
This feeling was really bad. Wuxu stared upward angrily and was about to speak when he heard the big black bird scream and then disappear.
Then a disembodied voice came, "You don't need to panic, just answer a few questions."
Then, another voice came coldly, "Your consciousness is in our moon realm at the moment. If there is any concealment or distortion, we will all know it."
Where is the Moon Realm? It seems to be something similar to the Mandala Dharma Realm? Wuxu thought silently, suppressing his anger, and asked in a deep voice, "I wonder if you two seniors have any inquiries?"
After a moment of silence, one person asked again, "Where did the Xingyun Bamboo in the master's hand come from?" Another added, "Who did it come from? Where did it come from?"
Wuxu thought for a while and replied, "The young monk accidentally got this bamboo from a cave where Master Fan Li lived in seclusion."
"Where is Fan Li?"
"Tell me how you got this bamboo in detail!"
Following the two questions, the two crescent moons with a faint blush above Wuxu's head instantly turned into two figures. One man and one woman. Their faces were not clear. They were floating there, and there was no spiritual power fluctuation. Their auras were completely the same as those of two figures.
This place is integrated into one, and when he looks slightly towards Wuxu, he can't see any brilliance hanging down, but it makes Wuxu feel that life and death are only in his eyes.
Wuxu immediately absorbed the White Bone Sword and Xingyun Bamboo into his mandala realm, put his palms together and recited the "Six-Character Great Ming Mantra".
The man said with a hint of displeasure, "Although you are a monk in the Buddhist Dharma Realm, it would be easy for someone to take your life in this moon realm."
The woman seemed to smile and said, "Don't panic, we don't mean any harm. Otherwise, we wouldn't have waited until this moment. I have no choice but to be cautious in inviting you here."
While Wuxu recited the six-character Great Ming Mantra to calm his mind, he was thinking rapidly like lightning. Hearing what the woman said, he stopped, raised his head slightly, and said in a recalling tone that he was the first person in the world.
He talked about the situation of entering Fan Li's cave to live in seclusion, and then briefly talked about his relationship with Zhang Ruoyue, Lu Miaoying, Lu Chunsheng, and Zhao Mulan.
Finally, he said, "Senior Master Fan Li once said in the bamboo slips that if there is a chance, the Xingyun Bamboo will be returned to the Hiding Moon Sect. Unfortunately, all the people in the Hiding Moon Sect that the young monk met earlier, except Zhang Ruoyue, are all right.
The young monk is quite hostile
, and even want to get rid of it quickly. Zhang Ruoyue’s benefactor is still young and has low cultivation level, and the junior monk is afraid that handing it back to her will only cause trouble. Now, the two seniors inquired and seemed to be quite familiar with the seniors Fan Li and his son, but the junior monk had no intention of doing so.
hide."
The man and woman, after listening, remained silent for a long time, seeming to be immersed in the memories of the past, and seemed to be secretly discussing how to deal with Wuxu.
Wuxu still sat cross-legged, put his hands together, and recited the Diamond Sutra.
"..How should we abide? How can we subdue our minds?...Good men and good women, if they have the mind of Anuttarasamyaksambodhi, they should abide in this way and subdue their minds in this way..."
The Diamond Sutra is known as the first of the group of sutras. Throughout the ages, countless people have enlightened from this sutra and generated reactions, which are extremely extraordinary. According to legend, Huineng, the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, accidentally heard a sentence from this sutra when he was selling firewood in the market.
"You should have no place to live but give birth to your mind" and become enlightened. On the day I became enlightened, I was at the Hualien Miaofa Sect at Lianfa Peak in Lushan Mountain, holding the knowledge of physics and chemistry from my previous life.
, there there was a constant stalemate with Master Miaoyin; later, Master Miaoyin threw down a thin Diamond Sutra and asked Wuxu to recite it without any distractions for the time being. Wuxu took it as a leisurely way to relieve his boredom, without asking for deep explanations, just telling tongue twisters.
, when I recited it ninety-nine and eighty-one times, I had some feelings and enlightenment, so I put aside my grudges and began to practice Buddhism.
Therefore, the Diamond Sutra is the initial fate of Wuxu in this life. Wuxu, while reciting and reciting it at this moment, is in the presence of two true and true spiritual masters. He feels that he is wandering between life and death, so he
Take this sutra as a companion.
Putting your palms together and chanting sutras, your mind tends to become silent, and Wuxu is ready to self-destruct at any time.
At this time, the woman's voice sounded again, "We are also aware of your relationship with Lu Miaoying and others. Since you have the fate to enter Fan Li's cave and obtain this Xingyun Bamboo, and you have never forgotten his instructions, I will tell you the truth.
Of course I won't make it difficult for you, even in front of Lu Miaoying, I can protect you."
Seeing that Wuxu was still chanting sutras, he added, "The two of us want to go to Senior Brother Fan Li's cave. One is to carefully observe the whereabouts of Senior Brother Fan Li, and the other is to welcome Xingyun Bamboo back. If you can help me, after that, we will
I can promise you two things."
Until then, Wuxu, who had never told the man and woman where Fan Li lived in seclusion in the cave, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his hands and respectfully replied, "Wuxu dare not disobey your orders."
The woman was very satisfied when she saw Wuxu's attitude, and then said, "That's very good. It's just that the matter is important, so it shouldn't be delayed. When your consciousness returns to its proper place, you must follow the two of us."
Wuxu naturally understood the implication, nodded and said, "The young monk knows that he will never cause trouble." After saying that, he hesitated and asked, "God has the virtue of good life, the young monk dares to ask the two seniors,
What should we do with the demon cultivator, even Chu Chunsheng and Zhao Mulan, the two seniors?"
"Haha, the killing is decisive, and the needle is hidden in the cotton! I like it!" The silent man's voice behind him sounded, causing the space here to be filled with dazzling white light, "That birdman was just moved to another place, you know?
Don't worry, we are not murderous people. Chu Chunsheng and Zhao Mulan, these two juniors, are quite respectful to us. But if they are stupid again and are not good for you, Xiang will naturally take action and will never
Break your promise!”
This sentence goes around and around. At one moment, it says, "You are not a murderous person," and "You are quite respectful to us." At another moment, "You will naturally take action, and you will never break your promise." At first glance, it sounds feminine and hypocritical. If you think about it carefully,
, but it is the real decision to kill!
Wuxu sighed to himself. He had just confessed about Fan Li, which aroused the good impression and eagerness of the two people. However, he did not mention the specific location of Fan Li's secluded cave. He only recited sutras to express his will to die. By talking about the life and death of the demon cultivator, he hinted
I am dissatisfied with Lu Chunsheng and Zhao Mulan. The mysterious male senior of the Hidden Moon Sect actually knew the elegant meaning of Xiange after hearing it, and with a tone of sympathy, he promised to clean up the family when necessary.
When he reached this bottom, Wuxu said no more, put his palms together and said, "Amitabha, young monk, please go ahead and thank me for your mercy."
Next, it should be time to send Wuxu’s spiritual consciousness back to its place.
Wuxu clasped his hands together, with a look of a junior on his face, and raised his head.
Unexpectedly, what was waiting for them was just a dream. The man and the woman disappeared without saying a word or saying anything. Then, the three-rounded crescent moon also disappeared.
On the contrary, the big black bird, croaking and squeaking out of nowhere, flew over and faced Wuxu, smiling happily.
Wuxu couldn't care about this person. He was just thinking about why the two senior masters of the Hidden Moon Sect suddenly stopped hearing from each other. The remaining Xingyun Bamboo in Fanli Cave was only a young forest. He was chanting sutras and reading Hua Tou.
, the revolutionary fruits obtained after several life and death struggles are indeed not easy to come by.
Just as this big black bird, with its true color, was sighing alone, the voice of the previous woman sounded in the air again, "Return your consciousness quickly! Beware of ghost monks seizing the body!"
The space here immediately burst like a bubble, and Wuxu and the demon cultivator's spiritual consciousness bodies both returned to their places.
Opening his eyes suddenly, Wuxu saw a black peacock flying proudly among the green petals in the sky. Its amazing breath made him breathless.
As the saying goes
The crescent moon is misty and red, and the treasure in my hand is as important as life and death.
Participate in the secret layout of Hua Tou and watch the peacock spread its wings.
