Is Senior Brother Buli a demon? Why did the fire of Nirvana burn overnight?
In the Nirvana fire that burned to ashes in the White Tower, was Senior Brother Fuli already dead?
Wang Qiang wanted to know what happened to senior brother Buli. He didn't want to one day embark on the road of no return.
After hesitating for a moment, the old monk smiled faintly and said, "Nirvana in Buddhism is rebirth. This is a rare test and practice for Buli."
For fear of Wang Qiang misunderstanding, the old monk continued: "If you have never cultivated Buddhism, you may also have to overcome the tribulation of inner demons when you transcend the tribulation and ascend. Many monks died under this tribulation."
"In this way, you ask the monks in the world whether they want to go forward and continue practicing, or whether they want to overcome the tribulation at the moment they break through the realm?"
Wang Qiang's consciousness silently looked at the White Tower not far away, thinking about the old monk's words, and sighed softly.
After a while, he said: "No wonder, Senior Meng from the sect library wants his disciples to come to the depths of the snow-capped mountains to practice Buddhism with their master. Do you want them to one day be able to calmly face their own inner demons?"
The old monk smiled lightly and said: "Let's talk about the principles of Buddha and demon from another angle."
In your eyes, and in my heart, your junior brother Li Xiuyuan's practice of Buddhism can be said to be unparalleled by anyone in the world. However, in this world, he does not practice in a Buddhist hall.
In your unknown fear, and in the prophecies of the Buddha and the devil, one day all Buddhist halls in the world will be filled with the disciples of the devil's descendants. This is the principle of the devil in the Buddhist halls.
So, I want to ask you. When the devil is in the Buddhist hall in the last days, your junior brother will be there. By that time, you will have entered the mortal world, and where will you be?
You came from the Bamboo Peak of Tianyun Mountain and traveled thousands of miles to come to my Buddhist hall to practice Buddhism.
Back then, your junior brother was practicing Buddhism in the abyss of Tianhuang Mountain, surrounded by demons.
You became a demon because of a single thought in the Buddhist hall.
When he was subduing the demon under the abyss, he was also killing the demon in his heart.
When you didn't have the courage to go into the abyss and go under the abyss to conquer demons and practice Buddhism, you came to my Buddhist hall.
But your junior brother turned into a Bodhisattva and went to the abyss alone to use the courage to face death, defeating demons and cultivating Buddhism at the same time.
Right now, you don't have the level of cultivation and state of mind that Senior Brother Buli has. If you become obsessed with evil thoughts, you may really become a devil in the world.
Not every Buddhist practitioner can ignite the fire of nirvana.
Not every monk who burns the fire of Nirvana can be reborn in Nirvana.
Back then, Li Xiuyuan understood the truth of living toward death when he was young.
Just like you swallowed the elixir on the Broken Heart Cliff and was knocked off the cliff by the old man, and you were born to die.
If you cannot understand life and death, and cannot understand the principle of living towards life, why would you bother to practice Buddhism? It is better to live happily in this world.
The old monk quietly explained something to Wang Qiang, but I don't know if he understood it clearly.
Wang Qiang was silent for a moment and then said: "The Demon King once said that human nature is inherently evil. After the Buddha's Nirvana, fewer and fewer people will practice Buddhism, and more and more people will become demons."
The old monk replied: "If the era of Dharma ends, the blessings of the devil and his descendants will also end. What awaits the devil will be endless hell."
Wang Qiang was as if possessed by a demon at the moment, muttering to himself: "The saint has an impermanent heart and takes the people's hearts as his heart. Bo Xun also has an impermanent heart and takes the people's hearts as his heart."
"Buddhism has strict precepts and teaches people to stay away from greed. The devil satisfies the desires of the people. If all living beings have no greed, where can I be?"
The old monk replied: "The Buddha left Buddhist scriptures to the world."
Wang Qiang's eyes flashed and he said: "In the Dharma Ending Period, my disciples and disciples will wear your cassock and destroy your Dharma. They will misinterpret your scriptures and destroy your precepts to achieve goals that I cannot achieve today..."
Hearing this, the old monk smiled while holding the flower, and said quietly: "By that time, Li Xiuyuan in the world will be the nightmare of all demons."
Silently, Wang Qiang shed two lines of tears on his face.
Shocked in my heart, I just thought that, as the old monk said, no matter it is the good times or the last days, only those like my junior brother can cast down demons in the abyss.
Only those who can cultivate Buddhism in the world can face their own inner demons and face the demons in the world, right?
After a long time, Wang Qiang murmured back: "It seems that it is the most correct choice for my disciple to come to this Lingshan to practice Buddhism."
The old monk sighed and replied: "I also look forward to his return."
Wang Tai was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Why? Master is a beacon of spiritual practice for the world and the ruler of this world. Is there anything I need help from my junior brother?"
When the old monk heard this, he was speechless for a while.
After a long time, he said softly: "I don't know how long it will take you to achieve Nirvana this time, Senior Brother, let alone whether he will be able to figure out some things after Nirvana."
After a moment of silence, the old monk continued: "Senior Brother Buli, you were disheartened because of some things. You spent one night in the mountains thinking hard and became possessed. You had to burn the fire of Nirvana."
"If there is still a bell-unlocker in the world, it would naturally be your junior brother who wanders around the world. Even my master is looking forward to his return and can untie this bell that will never leave my body for me."
The old monk recalled that Li Xiuyuan slashed a saint's sword from the cliff of the abyss at the foot of Meishan Mountain. The Buddha's light condensed in the sword energy couldn't help but smile.
If there is one person in the world that he can miss.
Apart from Meishan's junior sister, there is Li Xiuyuan who is wandering around the world. He can't even count him. It's interesting to think about it.
Wang Qiang looked at the White Tower not far away, thinking about two years? Three years later, Senior Brother Fuli stepped out of the White Pagoda after his Nirvana.
I'm afraid that no one in the world will know that Fuli has died in the White Tower except himself and his master.
When I think about it now, I feel that Senior Brother Fuli is an amazing person.
The old monk had already seen through Wang Qiang's thoughts and said to him: "Buli is not worthy of your pride, because he himself needs others to enlighten him, and your junior brother only has all the pride in the world."
Wang Qiang was also very proud after hearing this.
He thought about his journey from Bamboo Peak to Xuefeng Mountain. He seemed to have always wanted to follow in the footsteps of his junior brother. He also wanted to reproduce the courage of his junior brother that made the genius of the Holy Land bow before he entered the main hall at Tianyun Mountain.
Thinking of this, Wang Qiang couldn't help but sigh: "Junior brother, back then, he chopped off one of senior brother Fu Li's arms in Tianyun Mountain!"
He still can't forget the grace of that sword.
The old monk looked at him and smiled and said: "Wen Sixiu, you need to practice more Buddhist scriptures and try to understand more truths. There is hope for you."
Wang Qiang nodded and looked at the sky outside the Buddhist hall.
He asked in a daze: "Master, has my junior brother returned to this world?"
The old monk nodded, then shook his head and said with a smile: "If we go by the words of the Meishan Female Saint, he is back, but I can't see him yet in my eyes."
Wang Qiang smiled lightly, kowtowed to the old monk, and replied, "That's good."
...
In the final analysis, the old monk's words did not resolve Wang Qiang's doubts. This was the old monk's helplessness and Wang Qiang's helplessness.
The controversy between Buddha and demons has been around for a long time. If Wang Qiang, who has just entered Buddhism, can understand it in a few words, then there will be no such thing as inner demons in the world.
Even people like Li Xiuyuan, who has practiced Buddhism since childhood, will still struggle with certain problems, let alone Wang Qiang.
The old monk also knew this truth. He just showed Wang Qiang a way.
The old monk is a beacon in Wang Qiang's heart, a beacon that keeps him from getting lost.
On the road of Buddhist practice, a bright light is more important than a good master.
Just when the old monk was secretly struggling, Yun Tianhong from Meishan suddenly sent a message, allowing the old monk to temporarily let go of Wang Qiang's persistence.
"Junior sister, have you seen Donor Li?"
In the old monk's opinion, only when the junior sister saw Li Xiuyuan coming to Xuanwu Continent would she suddenly think of transmitting messages to him.
After all, whether we stay together or Yuwen Liuli, nirvana is not something that can be accomplished in three or two days.
Yun Tianhong sighed and smiled: "Brother, New Year's Eve will be here in a few days. This year I want to go to the volcanoes in the north. You can go with me."
The old monk was stunned. He didn't expect that his junior sister would suddenly have the idea to go out.
After all, Yun Ziyi and Ouyang Xiayun are like her children now and cannot be alone, but the junior sister wants to go to the small town under the volcano during the New Year...
After thinking for a while, the old monk asked: "Is it possible? What's the point?"
Yun Tianhong smiled faintly: "Senior brother, isn't it annoying to stay here every year? How about we go to that town to be mortals for a time and enjoy the smoke of the human world?"
She did not tell her dreams of the past few days, nor did she bring up the old events on Tag Snow Mountain. She just had a premonition.
In other words, even saints have their own attachments.
Perhaps Yun Tianhong saw the shadow of her and her senior brother in Yuwen Liuli and Buli.
Seeing that there was no reply from the old monk, Yun Tianhong had no choice but to continue: "Since we can't let go and leave now, let's find a quiet place first and live a peaceful life for a few days."
The old monk thought about the theory he had just discussed with Wang Qiang, and thought that he also needed to find a place to sort out his somewhat messy mood.
Only in this way can Wang Yiqiang be given clear instructions the next time he becomes confused.
Thinking of this, the old monk smiled and said, "When does Junior Sister plan to leave?"
Yun Tianhong smiled slightly: "Tomorrow, today I will tell Ziyi about Meishan's affairs, and we will leave early tomorrow morning."
The old monk nodded and replied: "That's very good."
Looking at the blooming winter plums outside the window, Yun Tianhong sighed quietly: "I have already picked some winter plums, and I will have new tea in the spring..."
There was no voice from her old friend in the wind, so she had no choice but to reach out and pour a glass of spiritual wine from Zhufeng, holding it in her hand and taking a sip.
He murmured: "The taste of these years is indeed fascinating."
She had a premonition, or an intuition, that maybe it wouldn't be long before she met Li Xiuyuan in a small town in the snowy land.
I wonder if after so many years of separation, her old friend will give her a surprise or a shock?
...
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!" The sound from under the big tree beside the glacier kept beating.
Compared with the sound of the rolling glacier in front of me, this sound is really insignificant, just like the sound of a small butterfly and a crow playing on the edge of the glacier.
It couldn't travel more than a dozen feet before it was drowned by the roar of the surging glacier.
At the moment, Li Xiuyuan was using the Nirvana Fire, which melted three different materials with the Netherworld Divine Fire, and condensed them into a complete sword embryo.
He planned to go to the small town at the foot of Tagge Snow Mountain, buy some charcoal, and continue forging with ordinary human fire. The final process was completed in Meishan.
Or just complete the casting of three spiritual swords before going to Meishan.
Originally, he didn't want to make swords after leaving Tianshan, because he really didn't have any sword-making materials.
Unexpectedly, I came to Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, but someone brought a sword to my door.
He looked again and again on the snow mountain. The materials on the snow mountain were indeed good. It would be good to use them for a little modification and give them to Monk Buli and Yuwen Liuli.
Not to mention, Xiao Die'er also needs a better spiritual sword right now.
Because he doesn't know how long he can stay in this world this time...
