At the moment when the first Nirvana fire burned, the Buddha's light shined brightly in Xilin Temple, and the entire temple was enveloped in the thick Buddha's light.
Even the people of the imperial city from far away saw this solemn moment.
Li Xiuyuan, who has practiced the Buddhist formless body since childhood, and then continued to practice the formless golden body, finally transformed into Ksitigarbha at this moment, burning the fire of Nirvana for the first time.
While the old shopkeeper was dumbfounded, Ksitigarbha on the Buddhist altar spoke the Buddha's words and explained Li Xiuyuan's next matters to the old man.
It wasn't until the old man nodded to show that he understood the reason that Ksitigarbha sighed.
He said leisurely: "If he hadn't had the courage to go to hell for others, this divine fire would probably have taken ten years to burn."
As he spoke, a golden light shone on the Buddhist altar, and a white jade pure vase appeared in front of the old shopkeeper.
Looking at the confused look in Old Chang Ning's eyes, Ksitigarbha continued: "Tomorrow, you can take him back to the imperial city at the foot of the mountain... You could have left right now."
"Just because he burned the fire of Nirvana in advance, you may have to accompany him in this world for decades..."
After saying this, Jizo looked at the old man quietly and said, "So, are you willing?"
Hearing this, the old shopkeeper quickly replied: "Don't worry, Bodhisattva, Old Turtle will fight to the death, and he will definitely protect the little master."
"This is also your opportunity. I think it will be a good thing for you to quietly be a shopkeeper of a wine shop for decades to come and watch the changes in this world's dynasty with a smile!"
After speaking, Ksitigarbha waved his hand and a golden light penetrated the old shopkeeper's body.
In the blink of an eye, the old shopkeeper felt something extra in his body, as if he had broken through several realms in an instant.
After kowtowing three times and getting up again, Ksitigarbha on the Buddhist altar remained silent and probably waved away.
The Bodhisattva's voice came to my ears: "Before you leave, no one can enter this hall. You can rest here for the night."
When the abbot of Xilin Temple came with a group of elders and monks, they discovered that the Buddhist hall where Li Xiuyuan was located was shrouded in a Buddhist light.
No one within a few dozen feet can get close, not even the eldest monk in Xilin Temple.
The old monk who was about to sit down put his hands together, bowed his hands and bowed to the Buddha Hall.
A group of elders and monks behind him knelt on the ground and kowtowed, chanting Buddhist sutras non-stop.
The old monk looked at the abbot and asked, "What happened in the temple today?"
When the master abbot heard this, he quickly told the story about Li Xiuyuan coming to the temple to ask for relics for his two sisters.
When the old monk heard this, he was immediately speechless.
He murmured in his mouth: "Those who know my Dharma is like a raft... The law should be abandoned, let alone illegal... What a pity."
After saying that, he shook his head and turned to leave.
The Bodhisattva who appeared today was obviously not for the monks of Xilin Temple, but for this person who came to seek relics for his sister.
The old shopkeeper sitting in the Buddhist hall was already full of tears.
I don’t know whether it was for the opportunity given to me by the Bodhisattva, or for the hidden illness of the two little girls at the foot of the mountain.
Li Xiuyuan still did not hesitate to trigger the fire of Nirvana in advance, and it would take decades to complete the first Nirvana.
It was so that he could stay with Li Xiuyuan for decades more in this world.
The monks on the mountain were terrified, and Shuzi and Xiaohu at the foot of the mountain were already in a mess.
Hui Shuzi and Xiaohu's spiritual consciousness was strong enough to see the Buddha's light in the sky of Xilin Temple and the solemn treasure of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Xiao Hei looked at the two of them and said, "My brother and the old shopkeeper went to Xilin Temple, saying they wanted to get the elixir for my sister."
Shuzi sighed, looked at Xiaohu and said, "In this case, I can only ask my brother again after he comes back tomorrow."
The two younger sisters sleep all day long, which is not an option.
And after thinking about it, the only one who can solve this problem is my brother, and even Shuzi can't do anything.
The old Taoist priest No. 46 came out after hearing this, looked at the three of them and smiled bitterly: "I have a hunch that Mr. Li has left us."
When Shuzi and Xiaohu heard this, they immediately wanted to run out.
Xiaohu shouted: "No, I want to go to the mountain to find my husband. How can he leave us?"
Xiao Hei stretched out his hand to hold the two of them, and said quietly: "Brother has been saying goodbye to us these days, can't Sister Shuzi see it?"
When Shuzi heard this, she was stunned and speechless.
He leaned gently against Xiaohu and murmured: "Brother, how could you leave Shuzi."
Xiao Hei reached out and lit the stove on the table to boil water, and said: "If my brother leaves early, the senior Taoist priest will naturally come to pick up Sister Shuzi and Brother Xiaohu. Don't panic."
Upon hearing this, the old Taoist priest couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Hei, is your brother's master also a Taoist priest?"
Xiao Hei chuckled: "Senior, don't make any plans for him. Since my brother has arranged a place for you, you must be content. The old Taoist priest even ignores me."
In his opinion, even if this world is destroyed, the old Taoist priest will not blink an eye.
How could you care about the troublesome affairs of the master and disciples in front of you?
Gao Yue'er sighed, took the old Taoist priest's hand and said, "Master, let's wait and see the situation tomorrow. If we can't wait until next spring, we can go back to Qingniu Mountain together."
The old Taoist priest nodded and said, "I want to go back to Qingniu Mountain. I'll ask your senior brother to leave together."
On this day, perhaps because her brother entered nirvana, neither Qingqing nor Yaner woke up.
The old shopkeeper who was guarding the Buddhist temple stared blankly at the golden flames burning in front of him, and spent the whole night in a daze.
When the autumn sun rises in the sky and thousands of golden lights shine on the earth and mountains.
The old shopkeeper sitting in the Buddhist hall opened his eyes.
Lying on the futon where Li Xiuyuan sat down were two brilliant golden relics, and a golden spark burned quietly in the air.
Sighing, the old shopkeeper stood up, picked up the jade pure vase from the Buddhist altar, and drew the golden sparks into the pure vase.
Taking out a white silk scarf, the old man picked up the relics on the futon and wrapped them up.
Looking at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva on the Buddhist altar, he murmured to himself: "Thank you Bodhisattva, the old turtle has gone down the mountain."
The moment the old man drew the golden sparks into the purification vase, the Buddha's light in the sky of Xilin Temple gradually disappeared, and the faint sound of chanting Buddhist sutras in the sky also stopped abruptly.
It happened that the monks had finished their morning prayers and wanted to go to the dining hall.
The master abbot and a group of elders watched from a distance as the old shopkeeper walked towards them step by step, and looked at the golden pure bottle that the old shopkeeper held in his hand...
Someone was unwilling to go forward and scolded the old man, trying to forcefully keep the jade bottle in the old man's hand.
However, before they could open their mouths to scold them, they realized that they had been frozen.
Time stopped quietly at this moment, whether it was the abbot or the old monk sweeping the floor in the square.
Even the monk who had scolded the old man had his arm silently hanging in the air.
Time stopped at this moment.
Only the old man stepped on the faint autumn mist, holding the most sacred golden light in the world, and walked step by step outside Xilin Temple.
When passing by the abbot, the old man couldn't help but said: "If you miss that moment, it will be your whole life."
After saying that, he went down the mountain without looking back, and disappeared into Xilin Temple in the blink of an eye.
It was not until the old man disappeared that the monks resumed their actions.
The abbot master repeated the words of the old shopkeeper and was speechless for a moment.
Perhaps, as the old shopkeeper said, Li Xiuyuan once gave them the opportunity to hear the truth.
In the imperial city.
When autumn is high and crisp, there is no wind or rain.
Qingqing and Yan'er, who got up early, practiced sword practice under the tree for half an hour. They looked at Sister Shuzi who came out of the kitchen and asked, "Sister Shuzi, where is the eldest brother?"
Shuzi felt soft and hugged the two of them.
He said with red eyes: "Brother went to the Buddhist temple on the mountain to ask for the elixir for you... After taking the elixir, you won't fall asleep in the future."
Upon hearing this, Yan'er clapped her little hands, squinted her eyes and looked at the sky and smiled: "Yan'er hates sleeping now."
Xiao Hei, who came out with the porridge, looked at the three of them and said, "Let's eat first. The old shopkeeper and brother will be back soon."
Shuzi sighed and shouted to the room: "Xiaohu, go ask the seniors to come out for dinner."
…
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Before Xiao Hei could get up, Xiao Hu rushed out and opened the door. When he opened the door, he found that only the old shopkeeper was standing quietly outside the door.
The old shopkeeper said quietly before he could speak: "Your brother left before you. You should know what to do."
After that, he told Xiao Hei the scene that happened in Xilin Temple.
Looking at Xiao Hei's angry expression, he said in a solemn voice: "Don't bother those monks. The Bodhisattva has already arranged this matter. Let's refine the relics for your two sisters first."
When Xiao Hei heard that the Bodhisattva had appeared, he realized that he could no longer interfere in this matter.
After all, it was the old Taoist priest who arranged the elder brother's matter. Now that the elder brother has left, the old Taoist priest is afraid that he will come and take Shuzi and Xiaohu away.
I couldn't help shouting in my heart: "Brother is too shameless. He left as soon as he wanted without leaving a word."
The old shopkeeper sighed, looked at him and said, "This happened suddenly. I guess it was with the help of Bodhisattva that your brother could complete this round of Nirvana."
After saying this, Xiao Hei became even more embarrassed to remain silent.
He just roared a few times in his heart, then looked at the two younger sisters running towards him, and in the blink of an eye, he changed into a smiling face.
After all, both of them are doing it for their two sisters.
While Shuzi and Xiaohu were stunned, the old shopkeeper entered Li Xiuyuan's room and carefully placed the clean bottle on the desk.
After closing the door, he looked at Shuzi, Qingqing, and Yan'er and said, "This is your brother's house. You are not allowed to go in when I am not around."
Qingqing still didn't understand what happened, so she could only nodded lightly.
Just when Yan'er wanted to go shopping, the old man shook his head and carefully took out the silk scarf from his arms, revealing two flaming relics.
Looking at the two little guys, he said: "Come here, grandpa will help you refine this treasure, so that you won't fall asleep again."
Shuzi looked at the golden relic and felt like her scalp was going to explode, and she was about to shout out.
Xiao Hei grabbed her, shook his head and said, "Don't let brother's hard work go to waste."
Xiaohu pulled Shuzi to sit down at the table and poured her a cup of spiritual tea.
The old shopkeeper pulled Yan'er to sit down in front of him, took out a relic and said, "Don't be afraid, grandpa will help you, just like you took the elixir last time."
Qingqing patted Yan'er's little hand and said seriously: "Sister, come first, it will be my sister's turn soon."
Yan'er squinted her eyes and nodded, looked at the old shopkeeper and said, "Grandpa, hurry up. Yan'er will go find her brother when she is well."
The old shopkeeper glanced at Xiao Hei, who chuckled: "Sister, don't talk, hurry up."
Under everyone's gaze, the golden relic in the old shopkeeper's hand suddenly shone brightly, and slowly sank into Yan'er's body in a burst of thick golden light.
The old shopkeeper stretched out his broad palm and leaned quietly on Yan'er's back. With the thick golden light, Yan'er's whole body was shrouded in golden light.
Xiao Hei sighed, thinking that this time, he didn't know how many years it would take before he could meet his brother again.
In less than half an hour, the golden light on Yan'er's body gradually disappeared, and she fell asleep leaning on the old shopkeeper's palm.
Shuzi picked her up and walked into the house...
PS: Even if I can’t move you, at least I can move myself at this moment. Thank you for your rewards.
