You Wuji left the city, still transformed into He Qifeng, and went to the monastery. He took the opportunity to do something fierce this time, and most of his cultivation level was restored. Wuxu thought he was leaving, and also hoped that he would leave.
But no.
Wuxu was a little worried, but he turned around and saw Zhang Cuilu, who looked at him blankly, and said in deep thought, "I'm just guessing about the obsession of ordinary people. But I always believe that the incense method can be used by those of us who are cultivators of Buddhism."
Although it is difficult to avoid, it must be treated with caution.
Therefore, let’s not talk about this obsession that has become a thing of the past. The obsession may not be correct. If it is correct, it must have been included in the Buddhist scriptures. Therefore, if we are not fully enlightened in our practice, we still stay away from the Incense Dharma. What’s more,
, my practice in the Dharma Realm has no deity, and I only observe freedom."
"There is no deity, Avalokitesvara." Falu and others then asked, "Brother, I often say this, but why is the Dharma Realm of Senior Brother also presided over by the Dharma Appearance of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva? Is it possible that the Dharma Appearance of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is not the deity in this realm?"
Wuxu nodded, "When I cultivated the Dharma Realm, I first had the deity. Afterwards, everyone in life was suffering, so the Dharma Realm was extinguished. When the Dharma Realm was extinguished, it was the place of cultivation. From then on, the Dharma Realm was extinguished, and there was a Dharma Realm in it, the Tianyuan Temple. Waiting to walk.
In the world, on the way of practice, we encounter all kinds of hardships and hardships, and we have no choice but to restore the Buddha in the Dharma Realm. Then,
In the Taoist place, I practice a lot; I only uphold the Dharma Realm without practicing. The so-called "only uphold without cultivating" means not being greedy. My Dharma Realm of Annihilation is as big as it is. Whenever something happens, I must uphold the Dharma Realm deity and all living beings.
The power of the wish is not greedy at all, nor flattery, nor will it be used for one's own purposes."
After Zhang Cuilu listened, she was silent and thoughtful.
Wu Xufu sighed again, "This is the words of one of my practitioners. The World Honored One has said that there is no way to explain it. You all have your own predestined dharma. What I said is just a reference. I hope you can get out of it."
Your own path, a more exciting path."
Finally, Wuxu stood up and said, "This time I have to heal the wounds of the old monster of the Yin Yang Sect, which has cost a lot of money. It is better to rest for a while first."
Zhang Cuilu and others then dispersed.
Wukong, alone in the secret room, with a myriad of thoughts.
At the Dharma Realm Dojo, fellow practitioners are participating together. At this moment, Zhang Cuilu and others have dispersed, how can fellow practitioners participate together?
Once you have an epiphany and your heart belongs somewhere, everyone must pursue it individually.
Think about it, if the so-called monks have pursuits and love freedom, how can they be together all the time? Even if they are a sect, it is impossible. A monk is not a screw or a brick.
...
The situation in Yongzhou City is getting worse and worse. For the monks in the city, each day actually passes very quickly, so the deadline for paying the spirit stone tax is getting closer and closer, so the battle between the various forces is also getting closer.
Increasingly intense.
In Wuxu's view, it's like gangsters fighting for territory, fighting and killing, accompanied by various conspiracies and tricks. However, they are not only fighting for territory, the winner of every battle will get all the souls of the loser.
Spirituality can be regarded as a kind of life-and-death gambling. Of course, you don’t need to bring any spirituality to fight, but if you don’t bring spirituality,
Without resources (such as spiritual stones for recovery, spiritual weapons for offense and defense), it is naturally easy to be defeated and killed. Therefore, most of the time, the monks who compete in the competition go all out and bring all their spiritual resources with them.
, spiritual weapons, elixirs, etc., and even the martial arts are used cheaply, and they are "fully armed" as much as possible to fight for life and death.
This is a rapid elimination process like raising a poison. Monks die every day. Some who are defeated even have their souls refined by the opponent for their own use. Others, seeing that the situation is over, take advantage of the opportunity to move freely and resolutely
Self-destruction. Later, the number of monks in the entire Yongzhou City had dropped sharply to less than a hundred, and most of them were at the level of cultivation above real people. Among them, many young monks with good qualifications died young.
This situation stopped temporarily until Zhang Cuilu and others appeared in the city.
Bi Lanlan and others rested for a few days and were not in a hurry to leave. They stayed in Yongzhou for a long time and still had some feelings. Seeing that the city of Yongzhou was now bloody, they and Zhang Cuilu stepped forward to stop this life-and-death contest.
Dou. Now that they have improved a lot in their cultivation, they appear suddenly and offer sacrifices from the Dharma Realm. They are still quite intimidating. The monks are also afraid of Wuxu, the city lord, so they all stop fighting.
Wuxu was happy to see this. After all, the city couldn't be without monks and it would be unpopular, right? Besides, according to estimates, the remaining monks should be able to pay the full spiritual tax by then.
A few days later, Bi Lanlan and others came to bid farewell to Wuxu and Zhang Cuilu. Wuxu then held a banquet at Huanzhu Tower and invited all the true spirits of Yongzhou, as well as the garrison generals. Not only Fairy Yu and others came,
Su Ji also came, and Li Mingshan, who had not been seen for a long time, also attended, and each had a small gift to give.
During the banquet, Wuxu smiled and said, "The opportunity has come for these fellow apprentices, the young monk, and they have to travel around to hold this banquet. Firstly, they can catch the autumn breeze and create a good relationship; secondly, they are also just starting out.
You are well-informed and experienced, so you might as well give me a few pointers. I would like to thank them in advance, little monk."
When Wuxu said this, Fairy Yu smiled and said, "I am a demon cultivator. Master, are you not afraid of ruining your fellow disciples?"
Wuxu put his palms together and said, "One thought becomes a Buddha, one thought becomes a demon."
Fairy Yu smiled again, pondered for a moment, and then told some taboos and anecdotes about magic.
The head of the Xiao family talked about the situation of some big aristocratic families. The garrison generals on the left and right talked about the situation of the Zhou army. Su Ji and Li Mingshan did not hide their secrets, and talked about the precautions for traveling in the world.
Of course, most of them are short stories and short jokes suitable for banquets, which are not stereotyped and harmless.
Even Wuxu felt that he had benefited a lot from what he heard, and said to Zhang Cuilu and others, "The world is dangerous and people's hearts are complicated.
Wandering around and practicing in the world is not like self-contemplation and self-cultivation in the Dharma Realm."
Zhang Cuilu and others all nodded, thoughtfully.
At this time, there was a loud noise from somewhere in the city. Two figures flew into the air and fought fiercely. These two people were both in the middle stage of real people's cultivation. They seemed to have deep hatred. They tried their best with every move, and there was a lot of movement.
.
Zhang Cuilu frowned slightly and wanted to stand up to stop her. However, she was stopped by Wuxu, "We have stopped her before, but they still want to fight to the death like this. Why?"
"The five Yins are strong and the karma is entangled, so there is a cycle of cause and effect." Bi Lanlan said from the side.
"When will the injustice be repaid? We Buddhist disciples, who are trying to save all sentient beings, can't bear to see the endless killings and strife in the world." Zhang Cuilu said, clasping her palms.
"Everything has a cause and effect, and when the time comes, it will be like a volcano erupting. We, Buddhist disciples, should work hard to save all sentient beings by fearing the cause and respecting the effect." Jiang Dingchun, who was on the side, also said.
While they were talking here, the figures of the two monks were completely submerged in a dazzling ball of light. Murderous auras, accompanied by roars, shot out in all directions. The surrounding pavilions, because they no longer had the prohibitive protection of the five aristocratic families,
They turned into powder one after another, and some monks were also affected. They scattered like frightened birds, flying so slowly that they were either killed or injured.
"Beat and kill, but don't destroy public property or harm innocent people." Wu Xu said lightly, and then secretly activated the city defense formation.
I saw a bright light falling, like thunder from the sky. The two monks fell from the sky to the ground, and woke up as if from a dream. Regardless of the blood and scars on their bodies, they struggled to stand up and saluted towards the direction of the city lord's palace to apologize.
"Have you forgotten the three chapters of the previous agreement?" Wuxu's voice passed through the city defense formation and resounded throughout Yongzhou City.
A moment later, one of the two monks, with a slender figure, suddenly said in a cold voice to the monk who had just fought with him, "Qiu Daolin, do you dare to fight me again in front of the stone tablet!"
"Murong Yan, you are seeking death today!" The monk named Qiu Daolin sneered fiercely, and his short and fat body flew directly towards Huanzhu Tower like catkins.
The slender Murong Yan stamped his feet and flew into the Huanzhu Tower almost at the same time as Murong Yan, landing heavily in front of the stone tablet more than a hundred meters high.
Wuxu made three agreements with them, the first of which was that the location of the competition must be in front of the original Wanshou Monument in Huanzhu Tower.
Of course, there is also a point to stop killing at will. However, it seems that no one follows or accepts it now. They all have anger and murderous intentions in their hearts, and the five yins are strong, and they each signed a life and death certificate.
.......
"It seems that these two people have deep grudges..."
"We won't give up until we decide the outcome, life or death."
"The right should be used to add to the fun."
....
In Guanxue Pavilion, Fairy Yu and others each spoke.
"Why was a new stone monument erected?" Wuxu couldn't help asking. He remembered that the Longevity Monument of Battle for Heaven and Earth had been taken away by Zhu Yuanzhang. Who and when did he erect such a stone monument more than 100 meters high in the distance?
?The stone material is good, and it looks a bit tall, but it has no aura or charm at all.
"The master made a three-part agreement with the monks in the city and mentioned the stone tablet. The steward of Huanzhu Tower took it upon himself to imitate the style and erected this stone tablet." Su Ji recalled it and explained, "After the junior knew about it, he wanted to demolish it.
But then I thought, it would be better for these monks to find a place easier than fighting, so I kept it and set up a barrier around it."
"That's fine." Wuxu nodded and asked, "I wonder when you will leave for the capital?"
Su Ji bowed slightly and looked at Bi Lanlan and others, "In the past two days, if all the masters are going to the capital, we can go with them."
"Oh?" Wuxu smiled and looked at Bi Lanlan and others, "The Great Zhou Dynasty was inclusive, and monks from the six sects, as well as ordinary people, lived in harmony but lived in harmony. This is in line with the principle that all things go hand in hand without conflict. The Great Zhou Dynasty
The capital city has a myriad of things, and this restructuring and reform originated from this. Brothers and sisters, if you have no other good places to go, you might as well go with fellow Taoist Su and go to the capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty first to have a look and experience."
Bi Lanlan and others took one look at each other and immediately thanked Wuxu and Su Ji.
When Wuxu saw this, he smiled again and said, "This is really a coincidence. My junior brother Yuan Zhang is also at Tianren Academy in the capital at this moment."
When he said this, the two monks were about to decide the winner and the life and death. At this moment, the short and fat Qiu Daolin gave up his sword and used a green net that alternated between virtual and real, green and faint,
As if covering the whole world, it is everywhere. That figure of Murong Yan
Blurred and flying around, the jade pendant on the chest flew out with dazzling sword light. The two sides seemed to be evenly matched, but in the eyes of Wuxu and other true spirit monks, if the green net was not broken, the winner would be decided. The short, fat and short
The fat Qiu Daolin seemed to know this and kept laughing.
This is a somewhat inconsistent picture. A short, fat, middle-aged and wretched male monk seems to be sure of victory. He wants to trap and kill Murong Yan, who has a slender figure, a towering figure, a jade flying sword, and a nice name.
.
Until now, they have not had much dialogue from beginning to end. There is no way of knowing what grudges or grudges there are, who is right and who is wrong.
However, it is a towering stone monument with many bright red spots.
At this time, a sword light flashed and flew out from Guanxue Pavilion, glowing with lavender brilliance, like a hanging star. The green net broke instantly, and then shrank and fell like a worn-out rag that had been burned by fire.
It fell and turned into a charred black mess on the ground. And the short and fat Qiu Daolin could only scream in terror.
The sound immediately disappeared completely under the sword light.
Wuxu and others couldn't help but look at Li Mingshan.
Li Mingshan, who had not seen each other for a long time and had just come out of seclusion, was sitting there, her figure like a sword, and said to Wuxu, "Master Wuxu, I want to rebuild the Ziyang Sword Sect in Yongzhou."
In the human world, the sect that Li Mingshan belongs to is the Ziyang Sword Sect.
Wuxu immediately smiled and said, "It's great if my Taoist friends have this intention. It's just a small Yongzhou, and the city is cramped after all. Taoist friends can choose a mountain gate near the outside of the city."
"There is a place in the north of the city called Qianren Peak. It is as tall and straight as a sword. Fellow Daoist Li might as well choose this place." Fairy Yu suddenly said.
Li Mingshan nodded slightly to Fairy Yu and thanked her, then flew out and stared at Murong Yan, "Are you willing to join my Ziyang Sword Sect?"
Murong Yan immediately bowed and made an impassioned speech, "This junior is willing to join the Ziyang Sword Sect and follow my seniors through fire and water without any hesitation!"
"In that case, come with me!" Li Mingshan waved her hand and flew back to Guanxue Pavilion with Murong Yan.
"These two people are fighting to the death. We were watching from the sidelines, not wanting to be easily implicated in the cause and effect, and just thinking that the two of them would end it on their own. However, Daoyou Li suddenly took action and brandished his sword. It can be seen that the so-called cycle of cause and effect is actually the result of the entanglement of our past karma among all living beings.
Bits and pieces gather together to form a vast ocean. We are in it, like a boat on a sea of suffering," Wuxu
Feeling this, he said to Zhang Cuilu and others, "People in the world and even some colleagues only know that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be rewarded with evil, but they do not know the profound meaning of the theory of cause and effect. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Buddhism originated in Tianzhu and the sages
It has something to do with the emphasis on simplicity in translating scriptures. But in the future, you will travel and practice separately, and you must not have superficial and naive understandings."
Bi Lanlan and others knew that this was Wuxu's farewell message, and they all clasped their hands to thank him. Zhang Cuilu was no exception.
"Master Wuxu's words, does he disagree with the theory that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be punished with evil? This seems to be contrary to Buddhist teachings, right? Moreover, what does this have to do with Buddhism originating in Tianzhu and the sages simply translating the scriptures?"
Fairy Yu suddenly smiled and said, "As the saying goes, one thought becomes a Buddha and one thought becomes a demon. I think Master Wuxu has now entered my demonic path."
Except for Wuxu and others, everyone present does not believe in Buddhism, but as monks, they are quite familiar with some Buddhist teachings, and are even proficient in them. Today, Wuxu held a banquet here to bid farewell to Bi Lanlan and others, and talked about Buddhism while they drank.
, while listening, it's like listening to a play. If you hear something that doesn't suit your ears, you won't just come out to comment and debate.
Only Fairy Yu, who was full of devilish nature and had no scruples, started to make fun of her. This really livened up the atmosphere. Not only the others, but also Wuxu also laughed.
"These words do sound a bit deviant. What's more, each practice has its own destiny, and many times its own practice is not enough for outsiders." After Wu Xu smiled, he turned to Zhang Cuilu, Bi Lanlan and others.
He said, "But after we say goodbye, I don't know when we will get together again. Therefore, there are some words that I don't want to say and feel unhappy about."
Having said this, Wuxu recited the Buddha's name, with a solemn expression, clasped his hands and said, "We should know that there are language barriers in practice."
"Words, as a tool for sentient beings to describe things and exchange opinions, are only based on eye consciousness, ear consciousness, and consciousness (corresponding to colored sounds and meanings). It is difficult to fully and accurately express our meaning or describe the whole picture of things, and it is difficult for others to completely
Accurate understanding.”
"Moreover, writing, as a tool, has historical limitations. The world is evolving, history is moving forward, new things continue to emerge, and various relationships become more complicated. Later generations continue to create characters, or continue to combine existing characters, and
Or make various annotations on the words in the classics to cope with the situation. In this way, it is like the gathering of the five yins, entangled and untied."
"What's more, Buddhism originated in India. The people of ancient India were quite sparse and exaggerated in their use of words. The sages had to translate the scriptures simply. This led to different interpretations of many classics.
Later generations of Buddhist disciples can only understand it through practice, but it is difficult to pass it on. The so-called "twisting a flower and smiling" is a special transmission to outsiders. It is said to directly point to the human heart and understand the nature of the mind. Although it is extraordinary, the reason is like a person who drinks water and knows whether it is warm or cold.
"
"Wonderful, wonderful!" A figure descended from the sky, ignoring the Yongzhou city defense formation, and flew straight to the outside of the Snow Viewing Pavilion of Huanzhu Tower.
This person has a strange appearance. He is wearing the official uniform of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He has the majesty of a superior person, but his aura is restrained. He cannot see through the realm of cultivation, but he must be at the level of true spirit. He is holding a token in the middle of his right hand. This order
The traces of spiritual energy released by the card actually vaguely echoed Wuxu's City Lord's Seal.
Wuxu, with lightning flashing in his mind, stood up and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, are you coming from the imperial court? Please condescend to come in and allow me to see you."
The man smiled and said, "I am Cai Jing, the patrol envoy of the Presbyterian Council, and I have been ordered to patrol here. I just heard what the city lord said, and I suddenly felt that it was very profound and subtle. This trip is worthwhile."
Cai Jing?!
Unbeknownst to others, Wuxu was shocked, clasped his hands and said, "It turns out you are the envoy of the patrol. Please take your seat quickly."
Cai Jing put away his previous smile, looked around briefly, and then entered the Guanxue Pavilion. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Shi Shiran sat down at the table. Wen Jing took a sip of wine and smiled, "Master can solve the word barrier well.
.Miss me Confucianism
, the same is true. How many people chew words and words all day long, looking for chapters and excerpts, and how many people, where kings, kings, ministers, fathers and sons, have become echoes of the ancients for thousands of years? They are all nerds, and they are obsessed with that.
Text barrier!"
"Good, good!" Wuxu still clasped his palms, "But I don't know what Mr. Cai has learned from his inspection to Yongzhou this time."
"Spiritual tax collection, the deadline is approaching, Cai is inspecting the matter." Cai Jing replied slowly, his voice was very calm, but for some reason, it spread throughout Yongzhou City in an instant.
