The ginseng doll was very moved and waved the medicine hoe more vigorously.
Zhou Yi was also very moved. As he lived longer and longer, he inevitably became emotionally indifferent.
Scalper, Lingshen Doll, Qingfeng Mingyue, and even earlier Lao Bai and others are the anchors for Zhou Yi to maintain his humanity, lest he one day completely turn into a "Tao"-like existence.
That would be no different than death!
"I also have to thank Chunfeng Tower, Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Full Moon Tower, Fengming Tower, Yihongyuan..."
Zhouyi celebrates every once in a while, also to be stained with the world of mortals and to maintain the original heart of the world.
After leaving Kunlun Cave, return to the mountain temple to practice meditation.
Since the Yuanying was condensed with the help of the wish power beads, Zhou Yi has never been contaminated with any incense. The obtained wish power beads have been integrated into three treasures including the light splitting sword, and their spiritual wisdom has grown rapidly.
For example, the light-splitting sword, originally the weapon spirit only relied on instinct to act, but now it can perform many sword techniques and sword formations of the Spirit Sword Sect.
"Only this Mountain and River Cauldron has not produced a weapon spirit since the sacrifice. Could it be that its nature is too poor?"
Zhou Yi took out the Mountain and River Cauldron and played with it for a while. The power of this treasure was far beyond that of the top magic weapons, but there was no sign of condensing the weapon spirit.
"The Mountain and River Cauldron has been with me for six thousand years. Every time I see it, I recall the days of Tianlao and Fengyang Kingdom. No matter whether I can be promoted to a spiritual weapon in the future, I will never stop sacrificing it!"
With so many thoughts on his mind, he took out a Bodhi Pill and took it.
The majestic spiritual energy nourishes the meridians and soul, and the Book of Changes uses the Taixuan Sutra to refine the magic power and merge it into the Nascent Soul.
…
One hundred and ten years of Yuanding.
April.
Mountain temple.
Zhou Yi suddenly opened his eyes, the sword talisman on his sleeve buzzed, and his consciousness swept over and heard Gu Xiao's voice.
"Junior Brother Zhu, the Buddha's birthday is coming soon. Yin Guang Arhat is giving a lecture in Kyoto. Let's go and listen together."
"I have gained a little from my practice these days, can I not go?"
Zhou Yi replied to the inquiry, if Arhat talks about Buddhist magical powers, is he still interested in listening to it? Since most of the low-level monks in Kyoto are talking about simple Buddhist scriptures, it is a waste of time.
Moreover, the Buddhist Arhat is equivalent to a human being who has returned to the void. If he has any magical powers, such as his mind and clairvoyance.
The former knows what's in his heart, and the latter sees through the true age of his bones, and both may get a glimpse of the secret of immortality!
Since entering the world of immortal cultivation, Zhou Yi has rarely met people whose cultivation level is far beyond his own. He is an old monster with a surly personality. He may get into a fight with his brains twitching, and the aftermath of the fight will make the onlookers die.
Gu Xiao seemed to have guessed Zhou Yi's thoughts, and sent a message: "It is impossible for Arhat to come in person, it is just an incarnation. There is a master in the capital, so there can be no trouble."
Zhou Yi frowned slightly and replied: "I am not interested in Buddhism, so why should I listen to the scriptures?"
Gu Xiao said: "This lecture is the prelude to the incense and the conferment of gods. I don't know what dirty means the Buddhists used to get such an opportunity. The teaching ordered us to explain our doubts to the Arhats while listening to the Dharma!"
Zhou Yi wondered: "Our religion and Buddhism have joined forces, and we should work together to confer gods. Why do we deliberately cause trouble and create a gap?"
Gu Xiao was silent for a long time before replying.
"It's probably because of the ancestor's face!"
"I see."
Zhou Yi sighed slightly. The elders above him had lost their dignity, so they would try to make up for it elsewhere.
When their cultivation has reached the realm of returning to the virtual world, they are almost invincible in the mortal world, and the incense and the gods have little to do with them. All they care about is the matter of ascension, and the fight for skin is more serious than that of ordinary people.
Zhou Yi pondered for a moment, already having a plan in mind, he asked.
"Since the ancestor has a destiny, the disciples should do their best. If the Arhat loses his face, is there any reward?"
Gu Xiao said: "Any request that is not excessive should be granted."
"Can I ask for the Five Elements Treasure?"
Zhou Yi's practice of the Great Five Elements Escape Technique requires refining rare treasures into the body. Such treasures are rare and have been searched everywhere for more than ten years, but they have not been found.
After a long time.
Gu Xiao replied: "Uncle, I agreed."
Zhou Yi looked happy and replied.
"The poor Taoist has recited countless classics from the sages. I have two questions. Please ask Arhat to explain them!"
Putting away the sword talisman, Zhouyi took out the lotus tube and spent eight years of life to divine.
Signed.
lucky!
"As expected of a virtuous and eminent monk!"
…
April 8th.
Kyoto.
Chengdong Square.
After months of publicity, no one in Kyoto knew that Arhat was giving a lecture today.
For Qi refining and foundation-building monks, there is no difference between Arhats and immortals in the sky. Not to mention listening to sutras, even just taking a look at them is not a worthwhile trip.
If you can understand one or two methods, not to mention improving your cultivation and strength, you can call yourself a Buddhist disciple in the future.
The sky was bright and the square was already crowded with people.
Millions of eyes, sitting underground and standing upstairs, were staring at the altar built in the center.
The altar is made of white jade, which is not a spiritual object but an ordinary white jade. The whole thing looks like a blooming lotus with a straw futon in the middle.
"The place where Arhat lectures is so shabby?"
"You know very well. It is said in the Buddhist scriptures that wherever Arhat Bodhisattva passes, the barren mountains and wild ridges also become the blessed land of Lingshan Mountain!"
"I think this scripture is wrong. If it is true, then why does Buddhism still occupy the top spiritual veins and blessed places? Just give it up and go to the barren mountains to practice!"
"If it's not conducive to the stability of the world of immortality, don't say it!"
"..."
In front of the altar, there were dozens or hundreds of empty futons, and no one dared to approach them.
This is a listening position reserved for high-level monks. It basically represents the number of Nascent Soul Dao Lords on the surface of Daheng. They may not come to listen to the scriptures, but they must have a seat.
It's approaching noon.
It seemed that they had reached an agreement, and the empty futon shone with light, and many figures suddenly appeared.
Zhou Yi and his four senior brothers are on the right side of the first row. On the left is the Taoist Lord of the Li family, and behind them are the elders of various sects or well-known casual cultivators.
There are more than half of the people in the futon, more than fifty Taoists.
One by one, they sat cross-legged, silently and silently. They obviously did not reveal any magic power, but the people watching calmed down on their own.
A message from the Book of Changes said: "I have never seen such a multi-dimensional infant until now."
"After all, it is Arhat who teaches the Dharma. Many Dao Lords from small sects have never seen the ancestor Huixu for hundreds of years."
Gu Xiao said with a smile: "When junior brother goes to Butian Blessed Land, he can go to the Enlightenment Hall to listen to the scriptures. From time to time, there will be immortals teaching the Dharma, so it won't be surprising!"
Zhou Yi nodded slightly. Compared with the declining world of cultivating immortals in Jiuzhou, Dongsheng Shenzhou was really in its prosperous age.
The five brothers remained calm on the surface, talking secretly, discussing how to regain face for the ancestors of the sect, and dismantling the "problems" they had been thinking about one by one.
Pei Yuanzhou praised: "Junior Brother Zhu is still asking tricky questions, so he mainly focuses on these two questions!"
Zhou Yi telegraphed his thoughts and said: "Brother Lingming, the first question is for you. You are the head of the Household Department. This question is in line with His Majesty's current thoughts. You will definitely be promoted afterwards!"
Ling Ming felt quite sorry and said: "This matter can be appreciated by the ancestor of the sect, how can I take advantage of my junior brother for nothing?"
"Senior brother Lingming takes good care of me on weekdays. When he gets promoted in the future, he will be able to ask for more spiritual objects that can be used to suppress bandits and bring peace to the people."
Zhou Yi said: "If you are rewarded by the ancestors of the sect, please ask for one or five rare treasures for your junior brother."
"Thank you, junior brother."
Ling Ming's face was filled with joy. He was similar to Zhou Yi in that he had no teacher in the religion. If he took this opportunity to become a disciple of the Heavenly Lord or even the Immortal, his path would surely be smooth in the future.
Zhou Yi sent another message: "Senior Brother Pei, please ask me the second question to thank you for your support!"
Pei Yuanzhou was surprised for a long time, thinking about the pros and cons of this matter, nodded and said: "I also ask for a rare treasure for my junior brother."
Zhou Yi smiled and said: "Excuse me, Senior Brother Pei."
Gu Xiao reminded: "Junior brother Zhu needs to think carefully. Although the Great Five Elements Escape Technique is an immortal method, it hinders the spiritual root qualifications. Generally, people in the teachings only start to practice it after the immortal ancestor."
"Thank you, senior brother, for reminding me. I have my own plans."
How dare Zhou Yi tell people that he has no spiritual roots at all, and adding a wisp of spiritual energy and affinity to the Five Elements is a great improvement in his qualifications.
While talking.
Noon has arrived.
Suddenly, bursts of Zen sounds came from the sky, as if there were countless monks chanting sutras.
I looked up and saw a yellow-robed monk crossing the sky, walking towards him with a golden lotus step by step. He got closer and saw his face clearly. At first glance, he seemed ordinary, but at a second glance, he looked like a statue in a temple, majestic and solemn.
Thousands of people watching, thousands of different appearances!
"My Buddha is compassionate!"
The Yinguang Arhat clasped his hands together, and the Buddha's light bloomed all over the sky, covering the entire Daheng Kyoto.
The Buddha's light integrated into the people's bodies, as if they had taken a magical elixir. Their cultivation level increased rapidly. There was a faint whisper of Buddha's light in their ears, and their souls gradually became calm.
The people who were watching received the benefits and chanted the Buddha's name one after another and bowed down to pay homage to the Arhat.
Look at all the Nascent Soul Dao Lords in the field. Their bodies are covered with magic power, expelling the Buddha's light and not daring to receive any of it.
Pei Yuanzhou frowned and said: "A dignified Buddhist Arhat actually behaves like this!"
When Zhou Yi heard this, he immediately felt relieved. If Senior Brother Pei dared to speak like this, he would not be able to deceive the Yin Guang Arhat. It also proved that there was no danger in this lecture. Otherwise, the human and immortal Arhats would fight each other and the entire Kyoto would be wiped out.
Yinguang Arhat landed on the Dharma altar and pronounced the Buddha's name.
"Amitabha!"
The sound spread in all directions, and the noisy people suddenly became quiet. They all had compassionate faces and listened to the Arhat's sermon.
"A poor monk has practiced Buddhism for three thousand five hundred years and recited tens of thousands of sutras. However, the root of everything lies in the Heart Sutra..."
Sure enough, as Zhou Yi expected, the purpose of Yinguang Arhat's lectures was not to really promote the magical powers of Buddhism, but to educate the Qi-refining and foundation-building monks in the capital. What he lectured was also basic scriptures known to everyone.
It’s not that this sutra is bad. As one of the foundations of Buddhism, it can be said to be a direct reference to the secret scriptures of Arhat Bodhisattva.
However, it is easy to learn but difficult to master. Many principles in the Heart Sutra cannot be explained clearly by Yinguang Arhat and the listeners can actually practice them.
Rather than talking about the great meaning, it is better to talk about a few Buddhist scriptures derived from the sages, which can directly solve the confusion that the monks are encountering at the moment.
The Book of Changes has recited no less Buddhist classics than Yin Guang Luo Han, and has spent much longer studying and comprehending it. He is very knowledgeable about the Heart Sutra, but he still cannot or is unwilling to reach the state where form is emptiness.
This is also the true thought of most Yuan Ying Daojun, but they all do it superficially, looking like they are intoxicated.
Don’t say anything else.
When Yinguang Arhat was giving a sermon, Buddha light descended from the sky and golden lotuses emerged from the ground. The entire Kyoto was transformed into a spiritual mountain in the Buddhist land.
The audience was immersed in the Dharma and did not feel the passage of time at all.
An hour later.
"...That's it for today, I'll talk about it tomorrow!"
"Amitabha!"
Yinguang Arhat loudly proclaims the Buddha's name, with a sound like a bell and a bell, awakening the people who are obsessed with the sound of Zen.
"Thank you Arhat!"
"Master has mercy!"
The audience bowed and saluted one after another. Regardless of whether they gained anything from the scriptures, the Buddha's light shrouded them for only one hour, which was equivalent to several months of hard work, and left a lot of spiritual stones and pills.
Yinguang Arhat showed compassion on his face and eyes, and was about to get up and leave.
suddenly.
Ling Ming, who was sitting in the front row, stood up and asked: "Greetings to Arhat, I have some doubts and would like to ask for advice."
Yinguang Arhat pinched his fingers and immediately understood the reason. Since Buddhism had taken advantage, it had to bear the consequences. He smiled and said: "Little layman of Butian Sect, please tell me."
Wow!
When the people onlookers heard the words Butianjiao and looked up at the Buddhist Arhat, they couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
Many people frowned slightly and subconsciously left the square to avoid the disaster.
Arhat's preaching, no matter how lavish it is, is nothing more important than your life!
Ling Ming glanced at the left side without trace. Among them was a Dao Lord who was the emperor of the previous generation and the representative of the current Li family, and asked.
"I would like to ask, senior, if the murderer became a monk and became a monk, can the court arrest him and bring him back?"
"Um?"
After hearing this, everyone in the Li royal family looked at Ling Ming, with surprise and anger in their eyes.
The Daheng Dynasty was far inferior to Buddhism, so according to past rules, if the offender was a Buddhist monk, it would usually be a minor matter, and he would rarely be arrested and brought back to prison.
"The Rebirth of Financial Giants"
This rule is not only against the Buddhist sect, but also the murderers of the Demon Sect and the Jietian Sect. The Daheng court is also helpless.
However, this is an unspoken rule, and it cannot be brought to the surface in any case. Yinguang Arhat is the leader of the righteous path, and the famous virtuous monk of Dongsheng Shenzhou must not protect the murderer.
What's more, Daheng also controls the mystical art of incense sealing. If Buddhism uses its power to suppress others, it will still have scruples.
Zen Master Yinguang said: "Since he is a murderer, he should be handed over to the court for trial. Buddhism is not a place for filth and evil!"
"Thank you Zen Master for clarifying my doubts."
Ling Ming bowed and saluted, glanced at the smiling Li royal family, and sat down again.
Immediately afterwards, Pei Yuanzhou stood up and saluted: "Greetings to Arhat. The younger generation also has questions to ask."
"speak."
Yinguang Arhat's face was compassionate, without any shame or anger.
Perhaps in his eyes, it is a good thing that all the murderers who converted to Buddhism died.
Pei Yuanzhou asked: "There are thousands of Buddhist magic techniques and thousands of magical powers. I just ask, can you get immortality?"
Yinguang Arhat was stunned when he heard the words, and the square was silent. After a long time, he said quietly.
"cannot!"
"Even if the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in the sky are destined to perish, among the immortals and Buddhas in the sky and the earth, who can really live forever?"
Immortality is a lie!
The people watching are all monks. Their ultimate goal in embarking on the road is immortality. However, today, the high-ranking Buddhist Arhat personally claims that there is no way to immortality in the world.
Dreams are shattered and Taoist hearts are broken.
Since there is no way to live forever, why not practice hard and just be free and happy? Anyway, after hundreds of thousands of years, those who have worked hard to become immortals and Buddhas will also disappear!
Yinguang Arhat looked at Zhou Yi and said: "This young layman is born with wisdom, diligently cultivates good deeds, and is destined to be my Buddha. Is he willing to worship under the poor monk's seat and practice?"
Zhou Yi was so frightened that his scalp was numb when he heard this. This sentence was too lethal and he couldn't bear it, so he quickly bowed and refused.
"This junior is devoted to the Tao and has no intention of cultivating Buddhism. I just acted playfully. I hope Arhat will forgive me!"
At this time, Zhou Yi could not have guessed that Yin Guang Arhat must have figured out the origin of two questions. When asking this question, either he really has a love for talents, or Arhat is petty-minded.
Yinguang Arhat did not respond, and turned into Buddha light that filled the sky and disappeared.
Zhou Yi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Senior brothers, now that the mission of teaching the ancestors has been completed, Pindao's alchemy furnace is still burning, so he will not participate in the next two days of listening to the scriptures."
Gu Xiao said: "After the lecture the day after tomorrow, our religion, Daheng, and the Buddhist Association will jointly promote the mysterious technique of incense sealing, which will definitely shake the Dongsheng Divine Continent. Don't you want to see such a big scene that changes the world of immortality?"
Pindao has seen many big scenes!
Zhou Yi shook his head, and immediately turned into a ray of light and flew to the east. He didn't even plan to go back to the mountain temple, and temporarily went overseas to avoid the limelight.
Just a few hundred miles out of Kyoto.
suddenly.
A clear voice came, frightening Zhou Yi to the point where he almost fell to the ground.
"Fellow Taoist, please stay!"
Zhou Yi kept flashing, his consciousness swept back, and he saw that the person greeting him was a white-haired old man.
He is thin in stature and wears simple robes.
There is an ancient seal character embroidered on the chest: Cut!
