"Where are you going, Senior Brother Du'e?"
With a salute from afar, Cihang Pudu quickly lowered his head and landed in front of the old monk.
The old monk's face was thin and his skin was withered and yellow. He looked like a dead branch with the bark peeled off. If it weren't for the white eyebrows and white beard, he would probably be misunderstood by others if he stood there without clothes. A wooden statue withered.
When the old monk saw Cihang Pudu, he quickly saluted and said, "Old monk, pay homage to the master!
The Imperial Master was in a hurry, wondering where he came from? "
The half-sized monks behind him quickly followed suit and saluted. After all, this was the national master of a country.
As for the national master being able to soar into the clouds and mist, it seems that this little monk does not think that he is a great ability!
Cihang Pudu got straight to the point: "Senior brother is very capable and has unparalleled mental arithmetic. He can naturally figure out what I am here to do.
This time Lingshan and Heaven are planning the human world together, and since the senior brother has achieved the Arhat status, he is naturally a member of Lingshan.
Lingshan has received the luck of the human race, so naturally, senior brother, the Arhat, is also rising, and he still needs to do his part!
The World Honored One will never forget the contribution of senior brother! "
The old monk Du'e smiled slightly and nodded in response: "As a member of the Buddhist sect, the old monk should naturally contribute to the plan for people's destiny.
However, now that I have achieved the status of Arhat, if I take action rashly, it will involve the luck of the Buddhist Lingshan Mountain.
Could it be that the Imperial Master has forgotten?
Although the Buddhas in Lingshan say they have jumped out of the three realms, are no longer in the five elements, do not enter reincarnation, and have great freedom, they are ultimately between emptiness and non-emptiness.
Not the enemy's luck!
If Lingshan is implicated because of the old monk's intervention, I am afraid that I will never be able to atone for my sins even if I die!
How is this good? "
Unexpectedly, Cihang Pudu had already prepared. With a confident smile, he took out the imperial edict he carried with him: "Now, I am the Grand Master of Daliang, and you are a citizen of Daliang. Although you have achieved the status of Arhat, you have not gone to Lingshan." , still belongs to the human race!
Now the Emperor of Liang has recruited the Duhe Divine Monk to serve in the army. If he puts down the rebellious Zuo Yun, he will definitely be rewarded!
National Master Cihang Pudu is here to invite you! "
Somewhere along the way, a ray of luck from the beam above Mount Wutai wrapped itself around the old monk Nadu'e.
After reciting these words seriously, he clasped his hands together and bowed: "Senior brother, this way your luck will not be too involved in Buddhism, right?"
The old monk Du'e had a grimace on his face: "After all, it is still involved. After all, the poor monk is an Arhat after all!"
Cihang Pudu slowly put away the imperial edict: "Senior brother, don't panic, this is the method given by the World Honored One, and it proves that even if I am involved, I, Lingshan, can bear it!
Please rest assured, senior brother!
Besides, I am not the only one who invites senior fellow apprentices. I am the only one to bear the consequences of this fate backfire, so I am suffering a big loss!
Naturally, God must descend to earth to save the common people!
Senior brother, what do you think? "
The old monk Du'e didn't comment, he just put his hands together and saluted.
Cihang Pudu also nodded and saluted, and then rose into the clouds: "Daliang Kingdom has been prosperous for hundreds of years. Ghosts, gods, immortals and Buddhas are not very conspicuous. They were too hard to find in the past and there were no acquaintances there.
Therefore, if you want to find someone with great abilities now, you have to go to Daxue Mountain!
Senior brother, let’s go first. I’ll go to the snowy mountain first and find a few more capable people! "
Then drift away!
This image of soaring in the clouds and riding the mist leisurely is actually more like the Youdao Xuanzhen who cultivates immortality. Unfortunately, he has a big bald head, which ruins this temperament.
The old monk Du'e watched Cihang Pudu go away, then looked back at the young disciple behind him. Facing him, he slowly sat down on the mountain road and waved to the disciple to sit down too.
"Do you know why this monster came to find me in the first place?"
The young disciple shook his head: "Disciple, I don't know!"
The old monk Du'e was mentally prepared for what his disciple said, so he asked again: "Then do you know which Bodhisattva's dojo is in Mount Wutai?"
The young disciple must know this question: "Returning to Master, it is said that Mount Wutai is the monastery of Manjushri Bodhisattva!"
The old monk Du'e nodded. If he didn't know the answer to this question, he would be very disappointed with this disciple, so he asked again: "Do you know what the most famous legend about Manjushri Bodhisattva in Mount Wutai is?"
The young disciple thought for a while and realized that he had many answers. Because there were so many answers, he didn't know which answer it should be. He could only shake his head: "Disciple, I don't know!"
The old monk Du'e sighed: "Next time, if you don't know the answer, just pick the one you think is the most reasonable among the suspected answers!
There is no absolute certainty in this world, some are just answers that I think are the most reasonable! "
The young disciple bowed and prostrated: "Thank you, Master, for your teaching!"
Seeing the young disciple being so respectful, the old monk Du'e sighed again: "Do you know what I did when I dismissed all the disciples this morning and left you alone?"
In fact, young disciples don’t know the answer, but if they don’t know the answer, there will be many suspected answers. Just now, my master taught me that when I don’t know the answer, I should look for the answer that I think is the best. Reasonable answer.
"Could it be that Master has calculated that the National Master will come to invite you today, and you are worried that the brothers will go to the battlefield and miss the opportunity to practice, and may even be in danger.
And this danger is so great that you are not confident that you can take care of your senior brothers, so you send them away, leaving me alone, who has no ability but is not difficult to take care of?
Therefore, Master dismissed the disciples this morning before the Imperial Master arrived. I don’t know what the disciples said, is that right? "
The old monk Du'e shook his head: "No! No!"
The reason why I dismissed them as a teacher was because their cultivation had advanced.
This practice of Buddhism has three realms in the human world!
The first level is the first understanding of Buddhism, seeing mountains as mountains and water as water!
At the beginning of practice, practice has a certain depth, and then it reaches the second level: looking at mountains is not mountains, looking at water is not water!
When you have a certain understanding of this world and the methods of Buddhist practice, have a certain level of cultivation, and have a certain depth, if you have enlightenment, you will reach the third level.
Look at the mountains as mountains, the water as water, return to nature!
When you reach this level, you will understand many truths, but you will also go deeper into Buddhism!
When you have experienced all three levels, jumped up, and gained the great wisdom of the Attainment Stage, you will be able to see clearly the world that is blocked by the blinding leaves and the veil of ignorance, and then you will be qualified to choose your future path.
Just like me now! "
Choose the next path?
Isn’t it to enter Xitianling Mountain?
The young disciple looked confused!
They have all cultivated to the level of Arhat. Even in Xitianling Mountain, there are only a few hundred Arhats with the title.
Therefore, if you can cultivate the body of an Arhat, you will naturally have to enter the Holy Land of Lingshan Mountain in the West to practice. Which path should you choose?
The old monk Du'e looked down the mountain, at all the living beings at the foot of the mountain, and sighed: "Whether it is cultivating gods or Buddhas, when gods and Buddhas reach a certain level, they will abandon their own ethnic groups and either go to heaven or go to Lingshan. !
If it's normal, that's it!
But now Tianting and Lingshan are planning the destiny of the human race!
Although I am an Arhat now, I am from the human race after all!
This thousand-year-old centipede has received Lingshan's will and entered the human dynasty as the national advisor. He came here to plan the destiny of the human race!
Perhaps it was the protection of the ancestors of the human race who gave birth to a destined human king, or perhaps it was the human race's own secret means of self-rescue!
The human race is the enemy of the whole world!
How could I push him at this moment when the human race is already standing on the edge of the cliff?
I saw it through as a teacher, but never saw it through, let it go, but never let it go!
The reason why you dismissed your senior brothers is because they have entered the Buddha's depth and can no longer see their own feet. It is useless to keep them!
I keep you because my teacher has something to entrust to you!
Just because your parents were killed by wild beasts, you grew up eating the food of your fellow villagers until you were 6 years old. You are from the human race, and you have been greatly favored by the human race!
It is the law of heaven for parents to raise their children from birth!
Not giving birth to you but raising him is a huge kindness to you!
The cause and effect of this kindness is too great, you have to repay it!
The kindness between the human race and you is too great, and you have no choice but to repay it!
That's why I keep you! "
The young disciple is confused. His master is going to help the national master seek the fate of the human race, but he, his disciple, wants to repay the karma and kindness of the human race!
What kind of rhythm is this?
The old monk Du'e knew what he was thinking, and he just took out a black rope from his sleeve.
"I asked you just now, do you know what is the biggest legend about Manjushri Bodhisattva in Wutai Mountain Dojo?
If you say you don’t know, I will tell you now that I am a teacher. The biggest legend about Manjushri Bodhisattva in Mount Wutai is that Wutai captured five hundred dragons and entered the West Heaven Ling Mountain to achieve the status of Bodhisattva. "
The young disciple asked blankly: "Master, isn't this a legend?
Or is it true? "
The old monk Du'e looked at the sky, then at the village with all the living beings at the foot of the mountain, and nodded: "It's true, search the world for dragon seeds with dragon blood, gather the power of Buddhism in the world, and help them become dragons!
If 500 dragons were to enter the sea, they would be in ruins!
This news is enough to shock any empire in the world!
Therefore, in the critical moment, Manjushri Bodhisattva boldly took action to surrender five hundred dragons before they escaped, saving the world from danger!
So people all over the world praise the legend, and if it is recognized by the empire, they can use this merit to achieve the status of Bodhisattva in one step!
Moreover, he also let the world know that Buddhism has the ability to capture dragons!
These dragons entered Buddhism and were called the Eight Heavenly Dragons. Their main duty was to feed the golden-winged roc!
This also tells the world that the dragon, which represents the emperor of the human race, is nothing but food in Buddhism! "
The young disciple said in surprise: "Is this the truth?
Why does Buddhism do this? "
The old monk Du'e was neither happy nor sad, and had no emotion at all. He just said calmly: "Where does the so-called come from?
It's just to destroy the pride of the human race and steal the luck of the human race! "
The young disciple was stunned: "Is this the truth?
But……"
But how did my master know it? If he knew it, why did he tell him specifically?
Master suddenly said so much, wasn't he trying to drive me away?
Unexpectedly, he guessed correctly. The old monk Du'e looked at him and seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, so he said:
"Just as you guessed.
You have been with me for ten years, and my teacher has only taught you swords, guns, and sticks, and the Vajra method of accumulating body and nourishing Qi. I have never taught you how to practice Buddhism.
That was when I first attained Arhat status, which was exactly what I expected to happen today!
Your cause and effect is too closely involved with the human race!
You can’t leave the human race, and you can’t enter Buddhism either!
That’s why we came up with this last resort!
I just told you that Manjushri Bodhisattva captured 500 dragons in the Wutai Mountain Dojo, and the magic weapon he left behind was this dragon-capturing rope!
There is a way to restrain dragon energy!
That Thousand-Year Centipede must have come here with this idea in mind!
Take this dragon-capturing rope and go to that human king!
Follow him to fight for the human race.
Repay the cause and effect of having hundreds of meals in your childhood!
After repaying the cause and effect, you still have the talent to become a god or a Buddha! "
If you are still alive...
When he said this, he handed over the black rope in his hand: "This is the dragon-capturing rope!
It seems to be made from human sinew, specially designed to control dragon energy!
Take this magic weapon with you, go to the King of Humans, and leave the dragon-capturing rope to him!
Let’s serve under him from now on! "
Unexpectedly, the young disciple did not take the rope in his hand, but looked up at the old monk Du'e with tearful eyes: "Master's tone is always like that of the old man from the mountain explaining his funeral affairs before leaving!"
The old monk Du'e smiled slightly, very kindly and calmly: "The old monk has lived to this day, more than 360 years old, he has lived enough!
The reason why I can live so long is because I practice Buddhism!
This is cause and effect!
I am from the human race, this is also cause and effect!
In my heart, I have never given up my identity as a human race, just because when I was a child, I was like you, my parents were injured by wild beasts, and I grew up eating hundreds of meals!
Therefore, I now owe human karma and karma. I have lived for hundreds of years and relied on Buddhist cultivation. I also owe Buddhist karma!
I don't want to plot the destiny of the human race for Buddhism, and I can't betray Buddhism. I'm in a dilemma, so I have to repay the cause and effect! "
After saying this, the old monk closed his eyes and sighed, and a raging fire burned from his body, instantly turning him into a big torch!
The young disciple was shocked and reacted immediately. He didn't even have time to cry out, so he rushed forward in a hurry, trying to extinguish the flames burning on the old monk's body.
This flame is golden and inextinguishable!
It didn't hurt the little monk's hands, feet, or clothes. It just burned mercilessly. In the cry of the little monk who finally came to his senses, the old monk was burned completely, leaving only two sticks of ashes and a few more. Teeth and bones that cannot be burned.
These teeth and joints are as brilliant as glass!
"Master..."
The cry of the young monk spread far and wide. A gust of mountain wind blew by, and even the two handfuls of ashes on the ground were blown away by the wind and scattered in the mountains.
Only a few teeth and bone joints were left on the ground, shining with brilliance, and the brilliance was so great that it spread like a sky curtain in an instant, shining brightly across half of the sky.
The young monk knew that this was the master's relic!
If others find out, they will definitely take it away. By the way, they will also take away the dragon-capturing rope left by the master.
He reacted very quickly and picked up two stones, picked up the master's relics, then wrapped them in cloth and put them in his arms as quickly as possible.
Pick up the dragon-capturing rope on the ground and turn around and leave!
Sure enough, not long after the young monk left, in the mountain forest, at the peak of the branches and leaves of the big trees, people were jumping here like apes, some were running quickly on the mountain road, and some were just rushing through the forest.
They have only one purpose, which is the location of the relic that shone with dazzling light just now.
Soon, four great monks came to the place where the old monk Du'e was sitting and passed away. They saw the ashes left on the ground.
"There is an eminent monk sitting there, relic..."
