[Douluo] Demon God's Road to Godhood

Early the next morning, when the old man woke up, he unexpectedly found Feng Tianyu sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed, doing exercises and regulating his breath. He was surprised and happy, but did not dare to disturb him. He quietly got up alone and went out to find the old man. However, After searching all the rooms, no trace of the old gentleman was found.The old man was a little confused, but he could only find an excuse for himself: this old man was a doctor, and he was probably going up the mountain to collect medicine at the moment.The old man found a wooden basin, filled it with water and went into the house. At this moment, Feng Tianyu had finished adjusting his breath and was about to get out of bed. His condition seemed to be surprisingly good, and there was no sign of any vulnerability at all. It was as if he had never been seriously injured at all, which made people admire the old gentleman's superb medical skills.Feng Tianyu saw the old man coming in with a wooden basin and said with a smile: "Old man, why did you fall asleep on the chair last night? What if you caught a cold?"

Feng Tianyu didn't seem to know that the old man fell asleep in the chair just to wait for him who was injured. The old man listened to his words and didn't know how to answer.Feng Tianyu suddenly looked very flustered again, as if he suddenly thought of something very urgent. He looked at the old man with questioning eyes and said anxiously: "Where is Wang Twelve? Did Wang Twelve save him yesterday?" Me?"

Unexpectedly, Feng Tianyu still remembered Wang Twelve. It seemed that he had not forgotten that he was injured yesterday.The old man said: "It is true that a young man named Wang Twelve saved you. Unfortunately, after he came to see you at night last night, he left, leaving only this broken knife." As he said, Pointing to the broken knife placed on the edge of the bed, this knife was naturally left behind when Feng Tianyu fought with the fierce god in the woods yesterday.

Feng Tianyu asked anxiously: "Then did he leave anything for me?"

The old man tried hard to think back, shook his head and said, "I didn't leave anything specifically for you. He just said that he still had extremely important things to do, and then he left."

Feng Tianyu looked extremely disappointed and sighed heavily, but his eyes suddenly stopped somewhere, as if he was deep in thought. The old man asked with concern: "Is your injury okay?" Feng Tianyu seemed to be deaf. It seemed that he didn't hear the old man's concerned questions at all.Seeing Feng Tianyu's distracted and focused look, the old man seemed to be a little anxious, and said loudly: "Master Xiang, are your injuries okay?"

Feng Tianyu woke up from a dream and responded quickly: "Oh, okay, okay, I'm mostly healed. By the way, who saved me after I was injured and fell into coma? I have to thank him in person."

The old man said: "He is an old gentleman. I haven't had time to ask his name yet. Unfortunately, he is not in the room now. He probably went up the mountain to collect medicine."

Feng Tianyu said nothing and just walked slowly to the yard.The rising sun gently caressed the earth, it was another sunny day.Breathing the fresh air in the courtyard and listening to the joyful chirping of birds in the mountains, Feng Tianyu seemed to be in an especially good mood, as if yesterday's injury was nothing at all and he no longer cared about it.But, what is the origin of the fierce god?Why is his martial arts so high despite being unheard of and unseen in the world?Feng Tianyu was puzzled. There were indeed a few people who could beat Feng Tianyu to the ground in a quarter of an hour and lost the ability to fight back. However, this fierce god seemed to come out of the ground. It’s confusing.

Feng Tianyu was walking leisurely in the courtyard, breathing in the fresh air and thinking about these mindless things. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he found a folded note on the courtyard door.Feng Tianyu hurried forward, took off the note, unfolded it, and saw that the note read: "Xiang Shaoxia, when you can read my message, it proves that your injury is mostly healed. Next, You only need to adjust your breath for a few days to recover. You are a person who can do something. After you recover from your injury, just do what you should do. You and I are not relatives, so you don’t need to thank me. I just accept it. It's just a request from others. I hope we'll see you soon." The signature reads: "Xulu Medical Scholar."No matter who this Xulu doctor is, Feng Tianyu should always thank him, but the strange thing is that he clearly wrote in the message that Feng Tianyu does not need to thank him. He is just entrusted by others. How did he accept it? Whose entrustment?Who has such great magical power that he could foresee that Feng Tianyu would suffer such a calamity, so he arranged for the doctor from Xulu to be waiting there in advance?Could he be the legendary old prophet who could predict the world's events in advance?Or, does it have anything to do with Wang Twelve?

Although it took three days and he was injured on the way, Feng Tianyu finally made it to the Universal City alive.What he had experienced in the past three days made Feng Tianyu even begin to wonder if he had done something wrong in his previous life.

Universe City is a very ancient city. It is said that before humans could walk completely upright, there were ancestors who lived here in groups. Maybe this is just an exaggerated legend. After all, there is no real, reliable and convincing legend. basis or record.However, from its ancient architecture and peculiar customs, you can probably tell that it has indeed gone through many years.

A city, like a person, has its own unique characteristics and style.In the prehistoric city of the universe, almost everyone, regardless of gender, old or young, is a devout believer in Buddhism. Therefore, solemn temples and people who go to temples to burn incense and worship Buddha can be seen everywhere.

Feng Tianyu has never been to this city, and now he is standing on an ordinary street in this city.On the east side of the street is a row of shops, on the west side is a long river, on the other side of the river is a high mountain, and there happens to be a temple on the mountain.The temple is built in the mountains and forests, looming, and loud bells can be heard from time to time.Countless people were running on the street, rushing towards the temple. Some people even thought Feng Tianyu was in the way and couldn't help but push him a few times.Looking at the active and anxious look of these people, they seemed to have rushed to the temple to put out a fire.But there was no smoke in the sky above the temple, so how could it be on fire?Feng Tianyu felt a little strange and curious at the same time. He suddenly grabbed a passerby who was running and asked, "What happened? Why is everyone running to the temple?"

The passerby looked at Feng Tianyu with surprised eyes, as if he were a monster. He said impatiently: "Oh my god? How can there be people like you in the world? Are you even connected with Zen Master Shangshan today?" Don’t you even know how to open a forum and give lectures?” After saying that, he broke free from Feng Tianyu’s hand and hurried over.

Who is Zen Master Shangshan?Feng Tianyu had never heard of it, but from what he heard from the passerby just now, it seemed as if Zen Master Shangshan was an extremely powerful person. Could he be an eminent monk? "Anyway, I'll go and have a look." Having made up his mind, Feng Tianyu followed the crowd and ran towards the temple.

Spring is coming to an end and the weather is slowly getting hotter.The sun was still very hot at noon, but after lunch, it seemed extremely mild, as if Zen Master Shangshan had already calculated that the weather would be suitable for lectures this afternoon.When Feng Tianyu walked into the temple, he realized that the temple was not ordinary large. The broad temple was filled with black heads, eight hundred if not one thousand.Everyone was sitting cross-legged on the ground quietly, clasping their hands, closing their eyes and concentrating. Although there were so many people, there was not even a little noise. Feng Tianyu also sat down cross-legged, with his two eyes following his head. Looking around, except for a few ordinary monks standing like logs around, I didn't see any monks with special status and different identities.It turned out that the lecture had not yet begun.People around the temple obviously come often to burn incense, worship Buddha, and listen to the monks' sermons. Otherwise, they would not be so observant.However, as an outsider, Feng Tianyu participated in such an occasion for the first time, and he would inevitably have many questions in his mind. For example, he would wonder: What does this Zen Master Shangshan look like?What kind of character is he?What will he give people?Why do people rush to listen to his sermons?

The more questions he has in his mind, the more curious he is. Feng Tianyu is now extremely interested in this Zen Master Shangshan, whom he has not yet met, and can only wait for this Zen Master Shangshan to appear in front of him soon.

Finally, I suddenly heard a monk shouting loudly: "The Zen Master Shangshan has arrived!" Hearing this voice, everyone suddenly opened their eyes, and all their eyes suddenly became bright.

Feng Tianyu looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw the abbot, the abbot, and several respected old monks from the temple, surrounded by a monk who was about fifty years old, kind-faced, and slightly fat, coming in front of everyone.The monk at the front must be Zen Master Shangshan.

All the monks sat down cross-legged, and Zen Master Shangshan said: "Excuse me all the donors for waiting, the lecture will begin now." His voice was high, bright, and resonant, even those sitting at the back could hear everything clearly. Chu.Those who listened to the lecture were ordinary people, and they may not understand the profound Buddhist principles. Therefore, what Zen Master Shangshan told was nothing more than stories such as sacrificing his arms to save others, and cutting his flesh to feed eagles. Under his exaggeration and explanation, The purpose is to make people understand the cycle of cause and effect and the need for people to do good.Zen Master Shangshan spoke passionately and vividly, and people listened attentively and with great interest.

Unconsciously, the sun was setting in the west. Zen Master Shangshan finished his lecture. The people who listened to the lecture dispersed in an orderly manner. After everyone left, Feng Tianyu still sat there blankly, as if his soul had left his body. Just like that, do the sutras taught by Zen Master Shangshan really have such great charm?

A young monk came to Feng Tianyu, clasped his hands, chanted the Buddha's name, and said: "Donor, it's getting late, why don't you go back?"

Feng Tianyu came back to his senses and looked at the monk dreamily. It seemed that he had not heard what he was saying at all, and he seemed not to know how to answer. The monk looked at him with a puzzled and hesitant look, and then He said: "Donor, it's getting late, please go back."

Feng Tianyu frowned, looking embarrassed, and said: "I have nowhere to go, can I stay at your temple for a night?" The monk said: "Amitabha, Zen Master Shangshan has long seen that the donor is by no means an ordinary person. , please come with me, Zen Master Shangshan invites you."

Feng Tianyu was suffering from not knowing how to approach Zen Master Shangshan. Fortunately, Zen Master Shangshan sent someone out to greet him first.So Feng Tianyu happily followed the monk to Zen Master Shangshan's Zen room.After entering the door, the monk went by himself. Zen Master Shangshan was sitting cross-legged on the bed, waving to Feng Tianyu and saying: "Donor, please sit down."

Feng Tianyu sat on the chair and looked up at Zen Master Shangshan, but saw that Zen Master Shangshan was also looking at him, with their eyes facing each other. Feng Tianyu immediately withdrew his gaze and turned his head to look elsewhere.I just feel that Zen Master Shangshan is both kind and majestic, like a god who protects all directions. People can't help but respect him, and they don't dare to offend him in the slightest.But I heard Zen Master Shangshan say: "Why would the donor look elsewhere?"

Feng Tianyu deliberately withdrew his gaze and stared at Zen Master Shangshan's face again, saying: "I feel lucky and flattered to be in the same room with an eminent monk like Master. In addition, Master is like a god, never angry. Awesome, so I dare not look up to him."

Zen Master Shangshan said: "After listening to the lecture for half a day, did the donor gain anything?"

Feng Tianyu suddenly fell into deep thought, as if he was racking his brains to think about how to answer Zen Master Shangshan's question. After a while, he said: "Life is rough and the world is rugged. If people want to live a peaceful life, to put it simply, It’s easy, and it’s hard to say it’s difficult.”

In fact, Zen Master Shangshan did not talk about the topic of "life" throughout the afternoon, and I don't know why Feng Tianyu suddenly said such words. This was clearly not what he gained after listening to the sutra, but it seemed like he was sighing Regarding his own life, Zen Master Shangshan wondered: "How can I say this?"

Feng Tianyu said: "If you can let go, you will be relaxed and worry-free, and this life will pass easily; if you cannot let go, you will be troubled throughout your life, running around for fame and fortune, and being burdened by fame and fortune, and your life will naturally be difficult. "

Zen Master Shangshan said: "Since the donor has seen life so thoroughly, he must have given up on it long ago, right?"

Feng Tianyu said: "There are so many distracting thoughts that I have never let them go. Maybe this is my fate. After all, I cannot enjoy a pleasure in tranquility, but I have to work hard in the secular world. I have thought about it several times, and I always feel that life is like this. It’s really boring to go down there, so I came today to ask Master for some guidance.” Zen Master Shangshan said, “What do you want?”

Feng Tianyu said: "Please give me some relief."

Zen Master Shangshan asked: "What is liberation?"

Feng Tianyu said: "Being free and carefree is liberation."

Zen Master Shangshan said: "Amitabha! It is better to ask for help from others than to ask for yourself. Since the donor knows what liberation is, he has his own way of liberation, so why come to me? Besides, the person who tied the bell must be tied to untie the bell. The poor monk really can't help the donor. busy."

Feng Tianyu looked disappointed, as if his heart had gone cold. Seeing that he was worried and dejected, Zen Master Shangshan enlightened him: "Donor, why don't you let go of what's on your mind?"

Feng Tianyu sighed and said helplessly: "If I could let it go, I would have let it go long ago.
