Li Qiye stepped into the Buddhist gate. The temple was lined with green bricks and white tiles, the trees were swaying, and the leaves were falling gently. Here, it was so quiet and peaceful, far away from the chaos of the world.
The sound of "sand, sand, sand..." sounded very soft and rhythmic. At this time, Wolongxuan saw a monk in the temple slowly sweeping the fallen leaves.
This monk is not very old, he looks to be in his early twenties. He has a handsome look. It can be seen that he was definitely a handsome man before he became a monk.
"Hai Kuotian -" Seeing this man, Wo Longxuan couldn't help being surprised and murmured: "He, he once worshiped Buddhism."
Of course Wo Longxuan recognized the man in front of her. This man was once a great genius in Bei Wangyang. He debuted with her. He was once very amazing, but then he disappeared. Unexpectedly, he had become her Buddhism.
"This is just practice, it has not yet been transformed. For the Eighteen Great Temples, transformation is very demanding and requires a long time to practice. Only after transformation can one be considered a real monk and a Landa A disciple of the temple." Li Qiye said.
Wo Longxuan looked at the man who was quietly sweeping the fallen leaves. She was very surprised and even wanted to call him because she had met Hai Kuotian several times before, and it could even be said that she had a good relationship.
The man sweeping the fallen leaves raised his head and saw Wo Longxuan and Li Qiye. He just kissed them together gently, and then continued to sweep the fallen leaves.
Looking at Hai Kuotian's expression, Wo Longxuan knew that he still knew her, but he had cut off all grudges in the world of mortals. Even if they were quite friends, they were still like strangers at this time.
Li Qiye and Wo Longxuan continued to move forward. At this time, Wo Longxuan finally saw monks meditating in the monasteries on the left and right.
These meditating monks are completely different from Haikuotian who just swept the fallen leaves. These monks exude the light of the Buddha and the sound of the Buddha lingers, as if they have become Buddhas in the flesh. Seeing them, if the Taoist heart is not strong, they will kneel down and worship. on the ground.
"They are different." Wo Longxuan couldn't help but murmured when he saw these monks.
"They can already be called eminent monks. Buddhism is very powerful, but for them, Buddhism is just a branch and not enough to be the Tao." Li Qiye looked at these monks and said.
"Why do you say that?" Wo Longxuan couldn't help but said curiously.
Li Qiye smiled faintly and said: "If you look carefully, you will find something different. It's just your intuition telling you that it is different. Take a closer look."
When Wo Longxuan took a closer look, she was shocked and couldn't help but take a step back. Unbelievable, she couldn't help but look at Li Qiye and couldn't help but ask: "Are they, are they dead or alive?"
"It depends on your definition of what is a dead person and what is a living person." Li Qiye smiled faintly and continued to move forward.
Wo Longxuan was shocked in his heart and couldn't help but said: "Their blood and vitality are withered, their longevity is exhausted, and their life has dried up. Can they still be alive?"
The monks meditating in the monastery in front of me, although they are all full of Buddha's light, filled with Buddha's breath, and sacred and solemn, there is no blood or vitality in them.
Although some ancestors say that their blood has dried up and their lifespan has expired, at least they still have life and can at least survive for a few days after their lifespan has expired.
However, these monks in front of them have no longevity at all and their lives have expired. In other words, they are dead!
However, no matter how you look at the monks in front of you, they don't look like dead people. They are still full of Buddha's light and Buddha's breath.
"How can you become a Buddha if you don't give up your skin?" Li Qiye said lightly.
"Does it mean that the monks under Landa Temple are all the living dead? Are they all lifeless existences?" Wolongxuan couldn't help but feel a shiver in her heart. Although she knew a lot about Lingshan, she didn't know what she heard. If you arrive, that's two different things.
Li Qiye smiled and said leisurely: "Why do you come to the Plateau to bury He Buddha? Why do you come to Lingshan? Mortals want a destination, but why do monks take refuge? Especially those invincible gods. The emperor gave up everything and came to Lingshan, and even started as a small unknown monk, for what purpose?" "Immortal life?" Wolong Xuan couldn't help but murmured. She had heard people discuss such a topic before.
"Yes, it is immortality." Li Qiye said calmly: "Throwing away the skin and worshiping Buddhism is immortality. In the beginning, most of the gods, emperors and emperors came here for immortality. However, in Buddhism, Practice, finally take refuge, give up the world of mortals, give up your skin, and become a true eminent monk, in order to seek immortality.”
"Is it really possible to live forever in this world?" Wo Longxuan said even though he was not very sure.
Immortality, this topic is too profound and heavy. Over millions of years, countless arrogant beings have discussed this issue, but it seems that no one has succeeded.
"It depends on what kind of immortality you need. If you want to have flesh and blood, have feelings and love, and walk in the world like everyone else, such immortality is probably impossible to achieve." Li Qiye looked far away and said, "At least , it is not possible yet.”
"Are the eminent monks from Lingshan considered immortal?" Wo Longxuan couldn't help but look at the eminent monks sitting in the monastery and said slowly.
"In a sense, it doesn't matter." Li Qiye nodded and said: "Longevity comes at a price. Give up the skin, cut off the world of mortals, and sink into the sea of Buddha from now on, without resentment, hatred, love... nothing Everything is only Dharma."
Speaking of this, Li Qiye glanced at Wo Longxuan and said: "Moreover, after leaving the Buddha Burial Plateau, everything will disappear. Only here, in this Buddha Burial Plateau, can it last forever."
"Changing from one person to another, or in other words, turning into a puppet." Wo Longxuan couldn't help but say. This sounds disrespectful, but it may be true.
"This is an eminent monk." Li Qiye smiled, without denying it, and said: "Longevity has always come at a price. When your life span is over, it seems that, for you, everything in the world means nothing. It has become unimportant. If it can keep you alive, then it doesn’t matter if you give up everything. Anyway, you can’t have it anymore.”
Wo Longxuan couldn't help but fell silent. When an invincible divine emperor is about to expire, he will also face the horror of death. When a person is about to die, his path will disappear.
Just as Li Qiye said, when you die, everything disappears and you can no longer have anything. In the face of death, everything seems to become insignificant. In order to live, why not give up everything you no longer have?
At this time, Li Qiye was already walking outside the Main Hall, and an eminent monk came out to greet him. The eminent monk's body was filled with Buddha light, and his Buddhist robes were as if they were gilded. His whole person looked like he was about to become a Buddha, and his physical body had become incompetent.
"I don't know where the holy monk came from." Seeing Li Qiye, the eminent monk hurriedly bowed his head. When the Buddha's name sounded, the Buddhist rhyme was rippling, giving people a feeling that hundreds of schools of thought were producing Buddhas.
"Where I am is the Buddha's land. There is no way to go." Li Qiye smiled faintly and said, "I am here to debate the "Xiaoleng Three Buddha Sutras" with Kong Hui."
The eminent monk joined him, looked at his head, and said, "I wonder what the holy monk wants?"
This eminent monk knew that Monk Konghui was the most proficient in the "Xiaoleng Three Buddhist Sutras" in their temple, and his attainments were unmatched.
"Buddha, all dharmas are empty and all things exist." Li Qiye smiled and said: "What I want is already there, so why do I need to ask for it anymore."
"It's good, it's good, the holy monk has learned the true meaning of Buddhism, please." The eminent monk joined him, bowed down, and then led Li Qiye into the main hall.
Wolongxuan did not follow because she knew the power of Li Qiye's defense of Buddha. Now that he was arguing with the holy monk of Jingkong Temple, the power would be even more terrifying. Therefore, she was unwilling to listen to Li Qiye's defense of Buddha. It would have too much influence on her. Big.
However, Wolongxuan felt strange in his heart. Everyone knows that when you come to Lingshan, whether you are listening to scriptures, debating Buddhism, or sculpting a statue, you have something to ask for. Otherwise, who would be willing to take the risk of converting and come here.
However, now Li Qiye is arguing with the holy monks of Jingkong Temple and has nothing to ask for. This is incredible. Could it be that this person named Chu Yuntian is really obsessed with Buddhism.
After Li Qiye entered Jingkong Temple, many people outside Lingshan watched. Many people wanted to know how powerful this unknown person with profound Buddhist teachings was.
"Dang—dang—dang—" At this moment, the Buddhist bells rang out in Jingkong Temple.
"Defending the Buddha——" Upon hearing the sound of the Buddha bell, everyone outside Lingshan knew what Li Qiye who had just entered was going to do. Some people couldn't help but murmured: "The eminent monk is an eminent monk. His skills are extraordinary. With the Jingkong Temple, The saintly monk debates the Buddha, how powerful is this?"
Although it is said that Lingshan Eighteen Temples welcomes everyone from all over the world to come and debate Buddhism. As long as you win, you can get what you want. However, for millions of years, basically few people are willing to argue with Lingshan Eighteen Temples. Buddha, because this is just a trick, which monk can win against the holy monks from the Eighteen Temples in Lingshan?
"Buzz--" sounded, and just after the bell fell, a sky of Buddha's light was propped up above Jingkong Temple. Under the sky of Buddha's light, three giant Buddhas emerged. When these three giant Buddhas emerged, The Buddha's chant sounded faintly, as if calling out to ordinary sentient beings.
Hearing the faint sound of the Buddha's trumpet, many monks and strong men on Lingshan trembled in their hearts. They knew that a terrible holy monk had taken action, so many strong men immediately withdrew from Lingshan.
As for the many believers under the Lingshan Mountain, they were so excited that they kowtowed and knelt down, receiving the bath of the Buddha's name. They all fell to the ground one after another.
No one can see the scene of the Buddhist debate in the temple. Even if someone can enter, they are not willing to take the risk to go in and have a look, because listening to two holy monks arguing about Buddha, it is easy to be subdued by one of the holy monks and convert to him. Under the door.
I wish everyone a happy Dragon Boat Festival and remember to eat zongzi. It doesn’t matter if it’s sweet or salty, as long as you’re happy. (To be continued.)
