[You actually plan to save yourself together with me? 】
Staring silently at Pei Wende, who was like a true Buddha coming into the world, Chen Zhengdao couldn't help but have a flash of surprise in his eyes.
[Also, is this the real reason why I can 'possess' you? 】
Under the illumination of Bodhi Buddha's light, Chen Zhengdao could feel that the faith that supported his last touch of soul was being converted and disappeared.
This means that Chen Zhengdao's "persistence" ends here, and it is time for him to reincarnate.
[Your master... is indeed the mad monk Lingyou! 】
There was no longer any hatred in his heart, and Chen Zhengdao's unprecedented calm voice sounded in Pei Wende's ears.
[You have a grudge against my master, right? 】
In the depths of the sea of consciousness where time was infinitely slowed down, Pei Wende asked calmly.
From the beginning, Pei Wende had been vaguely aware that Chen Zhengdao was hiding something from him, and now he just confirmed this.
【You can say that! 】
[Or to be more precise, the entire Taoist sect has a grudge against your master. 】
He was also not surprised at Pei Wende's reaction, because Chen Zhengdao had no intention of completely hiding it from the other party.
But what Chen Zhengdao didn't expect was that Pei Wende would know the details in this way.
What he didn't expect even more was that Pei Wende could actually transcend his own soul, which simply broke Chen Zhengdao's understanding of the word "transcendence".
[Seventeen years ago, that is, before you were born...]
[Your master used his own power to break into Zhongnan Mountain, plundered countless Taoist treasures in the name of 'bianfa', and helped the imperial court establish the current Qintian Prison. 】
[It was only after you were born that your master had a falling out with Wenzong at that time, so he took you away to Tanzhou. 】
Listening silently to the great achievements of his old monk, Pei Wende couldn't help but reveal a wry smile on his face.
[The old monk...is it really because of me that he fell like this? 】
The old monk's scrawny appearance, whose clothes barely touched his body, flashed in his mind unconsciously, and Pei Wende felt inexplicably worried.
If it weren't for himself, the old monk would probably still be a popular figure in front of the emperor, and he would be a very powerful and chaotic monk in the eyes of others, and he would not have turned into the skinny old man he is now.
[Yes, because you are the reincarnation of an earth dragon, the spiritual wisdom of past lives, and the 'panacea' that everyone can only hope to achieve. 】
[It is rumored that once monsters and monsters can eat you, they will be qualified to transform into dragons. 】
[And if the emperor, who already has the blessing of dragon energy, can use you as a 'medicine guide', even if he cannot live forever, he can still live for a hundred years. 】
[Even a guy like me, whose soul has been shattered and has only a ray of soul left, can still live again with the help of your body. 】
The so-called "past life spiritual wisdom" actually refers to those who have shown extraordinary talents since childhood and have abilities that ordinary people cannot have.
Extended to the world of spiritual practice, it specifically refers to certain people who have inherited some characteristics from previous lives and are most likely to be reincarnated by some powerful people.
Taoist methods of seizing the body and moving the soul, possession of the soul...
The Buddhist method of reincarnation and magical powers in past lives...
Even some ghost kings and monsters that escaped from the underworld can do similar things.
From this point of view, Pei Wende, who has inherited all the memories of his previous life and is familiar with the past and present, can indeed be called a "past life spiritual wisdom".
It's a pity that he is not the reincarnation of the Buddhist great man as imagined by Chen Zhengdao, but a time traveler whose soul comes from the 21st century.
[No wonder the old monk refused to teach me how to practice, but always wanted me to be quiet and just be an ordinary mortal. 】
Listening to Pei Wende's emotion, Chen Zhengdao seemed to see again the Taoist priest who had raised him since childhood, and saw the scene where the other party died in Zhongnan Mountain in order to stop the crazy monk Lingyou.
[Unfortunately, you did not follow the path arranged for you by Lingyou, but chose to become his successor - a true enlightened person. 】
When Chen Zhengdao said this, his tone was full of envy.
This world is never fair. Some people can achieve enlightenment in one day, while others need thousands of years of hard work to achieve enlightenment.
Pei Wende is the former, while Chen Zhengdao is the latter.
Pei Wende has been practicing for only a year, but he has already become a magical person who can use both wheels and have his own magical powers.
On the other hand, Chen Zhengdao, who has been practicing since childhood, has only been able to explore the ways of the Yinshen and condense the immortal spirit in his thirties.
From this perspective, there is no reason why Zen Master Lingyou accepted Pei Wende as his disciple and taught and imparted his knowledge and principles for more than ten years.
Pei Wende, who comes from the 21st century, already has a unique understanding of life and the world.
Under the long-term guidance of Zen Master Lingyou, this unique understanding has been successfully transformed into the foundation of his own spiritual practice.
Therefore, after Pei Wende formally practiced Buddhism, his past life experiences and insights became the cornerstone of his "Jade in Attacking Other Mountains" and helped him become a true "enlightened person".
He is not the kind of latecomer who follows the script and repeats the methods of his predecessors.
Rather, they are enlightened people who have their own independent ideas and put them into action under any conditions and circumstances.
[I actually never thought there was anything special about myself, but now it seems that I am indeed special? 】
From the very beginning of his practice, Zen Master Lingyou used the method of "a wake-up call" to ask and question his mind. Pei Wende's path was destined to be different from that of traditional practitioners like Chen Zhengdao.
[However, I do not regret the path I chose...]
Hearing this, Chen Zhengdao didn't know whether it was relief or a free and easy smile.
[When you save one person, you bear the sins of that person. Your future journey will be more difficult than you imagine. 】
Chen Zhengdao could clearly feel that as the last remnant of his soul was gradually saved, Pei Wende had more causes and effects on his body that he should not have to bear.
That is the memory from myself and from the souls of those who were saved by it.
This is a phenomenon that is absolutely impossible to occur in normal salvation, and is also an ironclad proof that Pei Wende is an "earth dragon".
【Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman will never stop improving himself. The terrain is kun, and a gentleman carries things with kindness. 】
[The earth dragon is the energy of the earth and the essence of the dragon's veins, and its reincarnation is destined to be able to carry the weight of all things. 】
[If you are good, you will survive the calamity and bring blessings to one side; if you are evil, you will fall into hell forever and roar around the world. 】
When he said this, Chen Zhengdao's tone paused slightly before continuing.
[Actually, when I first guessed your identity, I really wanted to find an opportunity to kill you to prevent you from becoming the evil dragon causing trouble. 】
[But now I have given up this idea, maybe the mad monk Lingyou made the right bet again this time...]
However, in the face of Chen Zhengdao's rhetoric, Pei Wende was very dismissive.
【bet? The old monk never gambled. 】
[He just believes in his own abilities and believes that I will not become a villain. 】
As the Bodhi Buddha light behind his head emits seven colors of light, Pei Wende's merits and virtues in this life are visible to the naked eye.
[You relied on your dissatisfaction and resentment towards me, the old monk, and Hu Dou to forcefully maintain a ray of your soul until now. 】
[Now that you have seen my choice, it’s time to disappear! 】
[As for what I promised you before, I will definitely keep my promise. 】
