The poem says: "Returning to the original nature is the same, and there are many methods of convenience. Once you practice, all are practiced, once you hear, all are heard." The peace of the past has returned to Putuo Island.
The destroyed Guanyin Temple, under the leadership of the head of the temple, Kannin, and the surviving forty-three bhikkhunis worked together to rebuild the temple.
Budai monk has always been on good terms with Guanyin Temple, so he made a wish that he would not leave Putuo Island until Guanyin Temple was built.
Ye Ling felt guilty, so he also helped. Under the warm sun, Ye Ling walked to the base of the palace with his upper body bare and carrying a huge tree.
The faces of several little nuns nearby turned slightly red. They lowered their heads and turned their faces away, pretending not to look but peeking quietly.
Ye Ling didn't care at all, but it made Master Guan Nin a little unhappy. He scolded several young nuns, saying that they were unclean.
Then he said to Ye Ling: "Master Ye, I, Guanyin, don't need your help. You insisted on coming, and the poor nun didn't stop you. But you still have to take care of your appearance and makeup." After hearing this, Ye Ling realized He was shirtless, which was a bit indecent, so he apologized quickly and turned around to get dressed.
The Budai monk on the side smiled and said: "Color is not different from emptiness, and emptiness is not different from color. Color is emptiness, and emptiness is color. People like them..." Ye Ling smiled, put on clothes, and sat under the tree with the Budai monk to enjoy the shade.
The Budai monk said: "Donor Ye, you have a strong murderous aura, so Master Kannin is very displeased with you."
"Oh" Ye Ling didn't realize before that ever since he practiced the third form of the Heaven-Destroying Sword Technique, Sword Pointing to the Underworld, his murderous intent was very strong. Even though he had tried hard to restrain it, it was still very obvious.
Budai monk said: "Too much murderous intent will harm the harmony of heaven and earth. I think you should read my Buddhist scriptures to resolve the hostility in your body." Ye Ling said: "When I asked Tianzong, I read the Jiufeng Taoist Canon. Is it possible? The Buddhist scriptures are better than the Taoism." Budai monk shook his head and said: "Everything in the world leads to the same goal through different paths. It's just that when you read the Taoist canon, it is not to resolve the anger, but to cultivate the anger. Now on Putuo Island, there is only the Sutra collection of Guanyin Temple, near the water tower. , you might as well give it a try." Hearing this, Ye Ling thought it made sense, so he thanked Budai Monk and went to find Guan Ren.
At first, Guanren was reluctant, but Ye Ling promised not to peek into Guanyin Temple's exercises and would only read Buddhist scriptures, so Guanren agreed.
The Sutra Collection Pavilion of Guanyin Temple is not big, just a simple small attic. Because this attic has Taoist patterns carved by eminent monks of all ages and Buddhist blessings, it was not destroyed in several wars.
At this moment, Guanren took out the key, opened the door, and led Ye Ling inside. I saw neat shelves here, with various scriptures stored on them.
Guan Nin said: "The east side is the Buddhist scriptures, and the west side is the exercises. Go to the east side to get it yourself, and you are not allowed to peek into the west side." Ye Ling saw that there was a barrier between the two, and he couldn't get through even if he wanted to see it.
After Guan Ren went out, Ye Ling walked among the shelves, flipping through these scriptures and realizing the high meaning of Buddhism.
.........The vast East China Sea is filled with blue waves. Above a cloud sky, three people were walking. They were Hua Xinfeng and Feng Lei, Feng Qing and Lei Rong.
Hua Xinfeng looked at the vast sea, frowned and sighed: "What a great event, it was ruined like this." Feng Qing said: "It seems that the three religions are dissatisfied with the Sanxian of Dongfang Hai Pavilion occupying the secret realm. This time it is Attack. I heard that there was a chaos in Penglai Immortal Island, and it was Taiyuan Dao Sect who was behind it." Lei Rong said: "It's a pity that the casual cultivators are a mess. Otherwise, with the strength of Dongfang Hai Pavilion, how could it be possible? Will be afraid of Taiyuan Daozong?" Hua Xinfeng waved his hands and said: "Never mind him, anyway, our Wanbao Chamber of Commerce has no business in the southeast, let them fight, we can just watch the fun." The three of them walked for a long time, Hua Xinfeng Asked: "How long does it take to get to Putuo Island?" Qingfeng said: "It shouldn't be far, why don't I take the young master there!" As he spoke, Qingfeng pulled Hua Xinfeng, a strong wind blew up, and the figure followed closely. Disappeared in place.
Not to be outdone, Lei Rong turned into a flash of lightning and followed closely behind. If it weren't for taking care of Hua Xinfeng, the two Celestial Realm experts would have arrived at Putuo Island long ago.
On Putuo Island, Budai monk was building the temple with other monks when he suddenly felt two powerful auras and looked up into the sky.
Feng Qing and Lei Rong appeared, and Hua Xinfeng was on the verge of falling, with stars in his eyes: "That's why I don't want to go out with you two, it will make me faint." The Budai monk stood up in the air and said in front of the three of them. : "Amitabha, it turns out that the two elders of Feng and Lei are here. I am not welcoming you from afar, and I am disrespectful and disrespectful." Feng Qing smiled and said: "Master Butai is too polite. In addition, what happened to Putuo Island? How did Guanyin Temple become like this? Guanjing Where is the teacher?"
"It's a long story at this point. Please follow me, three of you." As he spoke, Budai monk led the three of them down. Master Kannin stepped forward to greet them and told them the whole story.
Feng Qing said: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen, but it's not where the three masters are buried. We are willing to go and pay homage." The monks who died in Guanyin Temple were all buried on the mountain in the north of the temple. Guanren Master led the The three of them went to worship.
qqxsnew Shortly after the three of them left, the Scripture Collection Pavilion, which had been closed for more than a month, reopened, and Ye Ling stepped out of it.
But I saw that his temperament was out of the ordinary, without any murderous aura, just like a mortal. Ye Ling stayed in the pavilion for more than a month. Not only did he completely recover from his injuries, but his mood also improved to a higher level. His understanding of the great road seemed to be like returning to his original nature.
In his Dantian, Nascent Soul has been concentrated since breaking the Dan. As long as he takes one step further, Cheng Ying will reach the peak of Ying Chong Realm.
The Budai monk saw Ye Ling, clasped his hands and said, "It's great to congratulate the donor that his hostility has completely subsided!" Ye Ling returned the courtesy and said, "Thank you, Master, for your guidance. As the Master said, all dharmas are the same, and different paths lead to the same destination. The Buddhist Dharma is exquisite and can be crossed. the other side."
"Good! Good!" Ye Ling saw the light of day again, and his mood suddenly became brighter. In the eyes of the bhikkhunis, he became less wary. Even the disciples with advanced cultivation felt a trace of Buddhism in Ye Ling, and felt more cordial.
Just when Ye Ling was about to come to help build the temple, Hua Xinfeng suddenly ran up from the mountain: "Yi Zi! You are here!" Ye Ling saw it was Hua Xinfeng and laughed: "Brother Hua, it's been a long time!" Good friends reunited , a great joy.
The two of them went to reminisce under a nearby tree. Only then did Ye Ling realize that Hua Xinfeng also came here for the secret realm in the southeast, but now something went wrong.
"Back then, Dongfanghai Pavilion had an agreement with the three sects. All disciples from all over the East China Sea would fight and kill each other, regardless of life or death. But because you killed Duan Hangui and Sun Shaozu, Yuxuan Palace and Huixianzhuang broke the rules. Dongfanghai Pavilion It is necessary to cancel the opening of the forbidden area this time. But the monks from the Five Domains have waited for seven thousand years. Who can wait for the next seven thousand years? Therefore, the southeast has been in chaos. The monks from all walks of life are fighting endlessly on the islands in the East China Sea. The immortals have suffered heavy casualties. Dongfang Haige We are already preparing to summon immortals from all over to fight against the three sects." Ye Ling felt incredible after hearing this.
First of all, he didn't expect that Sun Shaozu's death would also be blamed on him. Secondly, he was just venting his anger for his apprentice, but he actually caused such a big mess.
It's just that what Hua Xinfeng said was superficial, and the real reason was naturally not as simple as Ye Ling.
Therefore, Hua Xinfeng said: "Yi Zi, you should stay on Putuo Island first. It is far away from the islands of Dongfang Haige, so it will not be affected for the time being." Ye Ling shook his head with a stern face. He still remembered that he gave When Xu Hong sent the letter, Xu Hong said that something happened at Dongfanghai Pavilion, which must be the same thing as what Hua Xinfeng said.
Therefore, he planned to rush to Penglai Island immediately, even if he could contribute a little. Hua Xinfeng came to Putuo Island to visit Li Nianzhu.
The bamboo forest was quiet and quiet. Hua Xinfeng looked at the purple bamboos around him and his eyes were filled with light: "Ye Ye, these purple bamboos are good things. It is said that this bamboo forest was planted by Guanyin Bodhisattva before he ascended." Ye Ling looked at Hua Xinfeng and looked greedy. With a look on his face, he couldn't help but curl his lips and said: "Isn't your kid here just for these purple bamboos?"
"Exactly!" Hua Xinfeng said bluntly: "My father asked me to come and talk to the layman. We want to buy some purple bamboo. I came here just for this business. Otherwise, I would have left the southeast and returned to the mainland by now. "The two came to Li Nianzhu's small courtyard and saw Li Nianzhu sitting in front of the hall with a polished purple bamboo scabbard on his knees.
He looked at Ye Ling: "Are you leaving Putuo Island?" Ye Ling nodded and said: "It seems something big has happened in Dongfang Hai Pavilion. My friends are all there, and I want to go there."
"Your wooden sword has no scabbard. I made one from this purple bamboo and gave it to you."
"Thank you, senior." Ye Ling stepped forward and took the purple bamboo scabbard, pulled out the wooden sword with his backhand and inserted it into the sheath. It fit perfectly!
In the past, it was because the wooden sword was unwilling to be sheathed, so Ye Ling did not give him a scabbard. But this time, Mu Jian didn't resist at all, and seemed to comply with his wishes.
Hua Xinfeng on the side looked at Ye Ling getting a purple bamboo with eyes full of envy. He hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Senior layman, I am Hua Xinfeng. My father is Hua Yuanquan, the president of Wanbao Chamber of Commerce. Senior, do you still remember?" Li Nianzhu nodded and said: " Could it be that you came here because of your father's intention? He really cares about the bamboo here and will never forget it." Hua Xinfeng nodded and said, "It's exactly what my father meant. Can you, layman...Father said that the price is negotiable."
"How many purple bamboos does your father need?"
"Three hundred roots of thousand-year-old purple bamboo," Hua Xinfeng said with a smile: "Of course, if it is ten thousand years old, only fifty roots are enough." Ye Ling was shocked when he heard this. He still remembered the bamboo shoots at Taixu Peak. There are more than five hundred purple bamboos in the purple bamboo forest, but there are only three or five that are over a thousand years old.
The purple bamboo forest here does have ten thousand-year-old purple bamboos, but there are certainly not as many as fifty. Li Nianzhu smiled and said: "Yes, my conditions are very simple. Please ask the Wanbao Chamber of Commerce to rebuild Guanyin Temple."
"Seriously!" Hua Xinfeng couldn't believe it. When he came, his father told him that it didn't matter if the negotiation couldn't work out. He was already thinking of giving up.
I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. After hearing Li Nianzhu's words, Ye Ling couldn't help but smile and said: "Senior, you are indeed transcendent and still exist in the world." Li Nianzhu also smiled and said: "Just follow the trend." Hua Xinfeng quickly expressed his position: "I will invite someone right now. Come and rebuild the temple for my Buddha, reshape the golden body, and keep the Guanyin Temple more magnificent than before!" After saying that, Hua Xinfeng ran out happily.
Ye Lingxiao glanced at him, his eyes fell on the plum blossom tree in the yard, and said in a solemn tone: "Senior, instead of looking at the plum blossoms, why don't you want to go to Meiling?" Li Nianzhu's expression darkened: "You all Got it." Ye Ling nodded and said: "I don't know where Meiling is, but in the future I will be lucky enough to go there and be willing to deliver a message to my senior. I don't know what my senior meant." Li Ninzhu was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "It's been ten thousand years, just a few words. , why bother to say it." Ye Ling listened, nodded, turned around, and suddenly stopped and said: "Senior, I don't know about life and death, but if you don't say it before you are alive, you will only have more regrets after death, isn't it unnecessary? "Li Nianzhu said softly: "Maybe you are right, but...it is better to forget each other than to stay together."
