The slightly chilly spring breeze blew through the woods, and the few remaining dead leaves slowly fell, finally falling on Qin Bai's palm.
Qin Bai caressed the dead leaves gently, with thousands of thoughts in his mind.
He looked at the dozen tombs in front of him, and couldn't help but recall the familiar names on them, and fragments of memories also came to him.
"Taoist Changsheng, Taoist Fanxing..."
In just over ten years, most of the people in the Daolu Academy of the Capital suffered casualties, but this was not because their lifespan was exhausted. The main reason was that it was difficult to die a good death in the face of demons.
The rest retired and returned to their hometowns, choosing to spend their remaining years in Taoist temples in cities and towns.
In the center of the cemetery is a stone tablet decorated with golden nanmu. The writings engraved on it have been baptized by the years.
"Jixie Taoist—Qin Bai."
Qin Bai couldn't help but cover his face: "Although I have accepted the setting of Jixie Taoist, it still feels a bit outrageous to really want to be famous throughout history."
At this moment, an old monk walked over from a distance.
"Ahem, cough, cough, it's a quiet place, don't disturb the people in front of you."
His eyes were cloudy, he was wearing a tattered cassock, and he was holding a guide broom in his hand. It was obvious that he had lost his eyesight due to age.
After the monk approached, Qin Bai asked with a complex expression: "How long have I been here?"
"Amitabha, I have been here for ten years."
"Ten years, ten years..."
After hearing Qin Bai's muttering, the monk suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but tremble his hands.
Then he raised his head in disbelief, trying to open his eyes to see clearly, but unfortunately there was only darkness.
"Zen Master Baiyun, I haven't seen you for a while."
"you you……"
Zen Master Baiyun Gu Bobu's face showed joy, and then he couldn't help but cover his chest because his heartbeat was too fast.
"do not move."
Qin Bai quickly used gentle qi auxiliary food to help Zen Master Baiyun channel his qi and blood. After a long time, he released his hands.
"I didn't expect to see you again."
Zen Master Baiyun gasped and leaned against the tree trunk, and couldn't help but said with relief.
Qin Bai learned about his experiences over the years from his mouth.
Zen Master Baiyun practiced with Fahai for a period of time, but the Buddha's energy was like water without roots, and no matter how much he practiced again, it had no effect.
Fahai suggested that Zen Master Baiyun should be reincarnated and go to the underworld under his protection to ensure that the memory would not be completely erased by Naihe.
However, he was rejected by Zen Master Baiyun.
He chose to practice alone and help mortals as much as possible, so he learned what Qin Bai had done.
Zen Master Baiyun decided to see Qin Bai before his death, but Deyun Society informed him of the death of Qin Bai.
He simply stayed in the cemetery built by Zhao Ji and recited scriptures on weekdays for Taoist priests who died for righteousness.
Zen Master Baiyun clasped his hands together: "Qin Bai, you don't have to force me to live. Birth, old age, illness and death are normal."
"I don't have the ability to protect your life, but you can."
Qin Bai smiled and took out the Buddha's seat of the Laughing Lion Arhat. He held it in his palm and brought it to Zen Master Baiyun.
Zen Master Baiyun blinked his cloudy eyes and couldn't help but said: "Such a strong Buddha energy, could it be the Bodhi flower?"
Qin Bai grinned and nodded: "I borrow flowers to offer to Buddha, Zen Master, do you dare to accept them?"
Zen Master Baiyun reached out and took it without hesitation. The Buddha's seat slowly penetrated into his body, and his old body began to transform.
The skin has regained its baby-like luster, and the roots of my hair have gained a little bit of black.
"Why..."
"Monks recite sutras for the Buddha, and only the Buddha recites sutras for others."
Qin Bai sighed slightly, saying that Zen Master Baiyun had understood the Buddha's meaning, and his behavior was also close to the Buddha, far more like the true Buddha than Pilampo Bodhisattva.
In a sense, the Laughing Lion Arhat Buddha's throne originally belonged to him.
Zen Master Baiyun exudes Buddha's light all over his body, and the process of refining the Buddha's throne is actually reduced to half a stick of incense.
Qin Bai suddenly realized that as long as he fulfilled his duties as the Water God and fit into the immortal position, he could complete the refining in a short time.
Zen Master Baiyun said respectfully: "Amitabha, Donor Qin, you have great blessings."
"I would like to ask, if immortals and Buddhas treat humans as animals, should they be killed?"
"Deserves to be killed."
Zen Master Baiyun's state of mind is incomparable to that of the Laughing Lion Arhat. According to legend, the latter is a Buddha who was trained by a hunter and can fight wild beasts without any training.
"This Buddha's throne was obtained from the Buddha who looked down upon human life, and there, all the immortal Buddhas in the sky were nothing more than that."
Zen Master Baiyun took a deep look at Qin Bai, and then promised: "I will make my own judgment, but Qin Shi mainly needs it, and I am willing to help you."
Qin Bai was overjoyed. It seemed that the Avengers had already secured one of them.
He couldn't help but ask: "By the way, where is Master Fahai?"
Zen Master Baiyun shook his head: "I don't know where to practice in Fahai."
Qin Bai was slightly disappointed. The Tota Arhat was actually prepared for Fa Hai. If this fierce man could be won over, he would definitely be responsible for the Avengers Alliance's combat power.
Seemingly reading what he was thinking, Zen Master Baiyun added: "When I become a Buddha, Fahai's cultivation will definitely make me feel something, and he will be here soon."
Zen Master Baiyun couldn't help but smile bitterly: "With his character, he doesn't care about immortals and Buddhas. As long as he causes harm to the world, he will take action to suppress them. He is somewhat similar to you, Qin Bai."
Qin Bai asked curiously: "What kind of cultivation level is Fa Hai?"
"Although he has achieved the Arahant status in this life, he has practiced many methods, and even the seventh consciousness has been refined long ago."
Zen Master Baiyun's tone paused, and he continued speaking carefully.
"Fa Hai is born with the seed of Buddha, and he has made the great vow that 'there is no Buddha in the world, I am the Buddha', so he awakens his supernatural power and speaks the words of Buddha."
Qin Bai raised his eyebrows. Could it be that Fahai still has the template for the protagonist? Why does it feel like it's completely cheating?
But at least the Tota Arhat Buddha statue has its own owner.
But a new problem came again. During the more than half a year of his retreat, he successively obtained a large number of incense that had nothing to do with the Kitchen God and the Water God.
These incense accumulated a little, and by chance, a simple Buddha statue similar to cooking was formed, called "Holy Light Tathagata Buddha".
Qin Bai estimated that 80% of it was related to Miao territory. The Ultraman doll he had in the canteen was circulated around that time.
Thinking about the painting style of Holy Light Tathagata Buddha, he felt a pain in his head.
"Zen Master Baiyun, is there any ascetic in Buddhism who is reliable in the teaching committee, or a practitioner who has attained the status of Arhat?"
After Zen Master Baiyun thought for a moment, he suddenly said: "There is a person who you recognize, but you haven't seen him for so many years, and you don't know if he is still alive in the world."
"who?"
Qin Bai went through it in his mind, but found nothing.
"Xu Xuan."
Qin Bai immediately recalled that, whether in the original work or in reality, Xu Xuan chose to become a monk after White Snake was sealed in Leifeng Pagoda.
"Has he not reached the level of Arahant?"
"Didn't I become a Buddha as a mortal, Amitabha?"
Zen Master Baiyun looked towards the south and happened to pass by Hangzhou at that time. The two of them communicated for a long time and benefited a lot.
After Qin Bai hesitated for a moment, he decided to leave for Hangzhou immediately to avoid Xu Xuan's accident.
He first returned to Deyun Society, intending to give instructions to Niu Fuyun on what to do, but found that there were dozens or hundreds of people gathered at the gate.
Most of them were eunuchs, and there were also Taoist officials from the Daolu Academy of the Capital. They were obviously waiting for him.
The leader is a man in his thirties, wearing a purple gold Taoist robe, holding a whisk, and the hairpin on his head is also made of sapphire.
"Qin Bai, right? The emperor has an edict, but he hasn't come to receive it yet."
"What do you call it?"
Qin Bai looked at the man a lot.
Compared with those Taoist priests in the Daolu Academy of the Capital, their level has indeed improved now. At least they all have the perfect cultivation of refining qi, but their attitude seems to be high-minded and low-minded.
"My name is Zijin, and I belong to the Evergreen Sect..."
Qin Bai asked in a strange tone: "Are the disciples of the Evergreen Sect still alive?"
Taoist Zijin was furious. He couldn't help but take a few steps forward, and all the energy in his body was condensed.
In his opinion, Qin Bai's aura was looming, and his cultivation had just been established in a hundred days. However, his size was quite a threat, and he was probably a practitioner.
Zijin was particularly disdainful. Taoist priests did not look down on martial artists, especially Taoist priests who fell in the eyes of the emperor and simply blocked the official path.
The other Taoist priests looked at each other and then took out their magic weapons.
The old eunuch held his forehead. The Daolu Academy in the capital had already changed due to the demonic turmoil in a certain place ten years ago.
Today's Taoist priests have never seen Qin Bai, and even if they have heard about it, they don't take it seriously.
But the old eunuch knew that Zhao Ji admired Qin Bai and regarded him as a true immortal in the world. Otherwise, how could he have allowed Deyun Society to spread all over the country.
Originally, Zhao Ji only asked him to go and tell Qin Bai, but the Daolu Academy of the Capital insisted on stepping in to show their status in the Taoist sect.
The old eunuch stopped Taoist Zijin, and then took out the edict and planned to read it out.
Everyone present lowered their heads, even the Taoist officials, but Qin Bai still stood indifferent.
However, the old eunuch seemed very normal. Zhao Ji had told him before he came that he didn't need to care about Qin Bai's actions.
Zijin frowned tightly, and he began to be afraid of Qin Bai's detached attitude. Could it be like the rumors...
Soon the old eunuch's reading made sweat break out on his forehead.
The content of the edict is roughly that on the day of the premiere of A Chinese Ghost Story III, Zhao Ji will come to the Deyun Club in person to watch the show, leaving Qin Bai with a few seats.
For the emperor, having such a low posture already said a lot.
Qin Bai nodded and said to Niu Fuyun beside him: "Look at the arrangement and don't neglect it."
Then he cupped his fists and saluted: "Everyone, I have something to do. I have to leave the capital temporarily. I will be back soon."
The old eunuch made a gesture of invitation: "Master Qin... Shopkeeper Qin, please go slowly."
Qin Bai had no intention of hiding it. After all, he was already transcending the mortal world. He directly used the muscles in his legs to squat and jump up.
The body turned into an afterimage and shot straight into the sky, even the clouds were broken into two halves.
Such an exaggerated and outrageous scene made everyone unable to react for a moment, and they all stood there with their mouths wide open.
Taoist Zijin wiped his forehead with his sleeve. On the one hand, he was shocked that the rumors were true, but on the other hand, he began to doubt his life.
How come the Taoist priests who are so good have the illusion of physical sanctification...
The old eunuch glanced at Taoist Zijin, and he snorted coldly and said: "Taoist Master, with Master Qin's ability, he should be considered a god, right?"
Taoist Zijin opened his mouth, then nodded dejectedly.
He said directly: "I will resign immediately and leave the Daolu Academy of the Capital."
Seeing this, the old eunuch turned around and left with his men.
Niu Fuyun quickly came to his senses and warned everyone to keep their mouths shut. Shopkeeper Qin did not like to be high-profile. In his words, he was a person who had escaped from vulgar taste.
Qin Bai turned his head to look at the capital with an incomprehensible expression, then he spit out his flying sword in mid-air and headed towards Hangzhou with his sword.
As he hurried on, he was still secretly thinking about the immortal throne.
If nothing else happens, when Qin Bai completely masters the Water God Immortal Position, he may indirectly give birth to many insignificant immortal positions, such as the Xishenjing God.
Even if they are distributed, it will not affect the integrity of the Water God Immortal Position, so you have to carefully consider the candidate for the title of God.
Although there were many monks in the Song Dynasty, only a handful of them could become immortals or Buddhas. Of course, Zen Master Baiyun was an exception.
It only took Qin Bai most of the day to reach Hangzhou. He immediately saw the Leifeng Pagoda standing on the mountain beside the West Lake.
There were dozens of monks in Lingyin Temple, but there was no sign of the Arhat who subdued the dragon and subdued the tiger, and it was not known where they had gone.
As for the mental hospital, it still stands there. It seems to be jointly managed by Fu Yuechi and Bai Yutang.
Qin Bai did not disturb the lives of several people, and he could also help collect points.
He searched around with his spiritual thoughts and soon found Xu Xuan in the courtyard of Deyun Society.
Indeed, as Zen Master Baiyun said, the old man might be able to refine the Buddha's throne, and besides, the other party was originally the reincarnation of Wenquxing.
Xu Xuan was not surprised to see Qin Bai. He just put down the broom in his hand and looked at him with a smile.
"Mr. Xu, long time no see."
"Ahem, it should be a few days ago."
When Xu Xuan said this, his voice was erratic, as if time was just a snap of his fingers to him.
Qin Bai did see the shadow of Zen Master Baiyun in Xu Xuan.
He couldn't believe how many monsters had been born after a thousand years. If these monks were in another environment, it would be limitless.
Qin Bai did the math.
The Arhat who subdued the dragon and subdued the tiger lived for seven hundred years. At that time, the immortals and Buddhas should have declined, so it was barely the same era.
There are also Fahai, Zen Master Baiyun, the Four Heroes of Gulong, Yan Chixia, Yiye Zhiqiu...
In a sense, if Qin Bai can bring these people together, he will have great potential to subvert the Western Buddhist world or the heaven.
"By the way, where is Xu Su?"
Xu Xuan finally had some waves in his tone: "She traveled with Duan Qing, but she comes back every year."
The two chatted for a while, and then Qin Bai got straight to the point: "Mr. Xu, do you know that you are the reincarnation of an immortal Buddha?"
Xu Xuan unexpectedly said: "When I was five years old, a Taoist priest said this and wanted to accept me as a disciple, but I refused."
"Then Mr. Xu..."
Xu Xuan had already guessed what Qin Bai wanted to say. He shook his head and said: "Xianfan is meaningless to me. I just want to pursue life, old age, illness and death."
Qin Bai gave some advice, but Xu Xuan's attitude was very clear.
It was impossible for him to tell the other party that he could still see the green snake a thousand years ago, and it was impossible to refine the Buddha's throne by disturbing his state of mind.
I have to figure it out slowly.
