"Hey, little monk, what are you doing there?" Yuan Qing asked after looking at the bald young man sitting upright on the stone by the stream for a long time.

"Meditate." The young man glared at her in a way that you can't see you are blind and then replied.

"I know you were meditating just now. I'm asking you, what are you doing after you opened your eyes and stared at the water surface for a long time?" After approaching, he looked at him closely for a long while——

"Hey, what's the matter with you, do you know how to be polite when you're so close?" the young man said angrily.

"Oh." Yuan Qing nodded coldly, and after taking two steps back, he asked with great interest: "I thought you were also a person who transcended the world, but you turned out to be like that ordinary person, with a worldly air— — Tsk, there is really no aura and dusty temperament to speak of." He waved his white long sleeves as he said, making a posture that he was about to become a fairy.

After a long time, the young monk didn't move, just lowered his head and said nothing.

"What's the matter, little monk? Feeling damaged in self-esteem, are you angry?" He rolled up his clothes and squatted down and asked.

ignore.

"I'm so angry!"

Then Yuan Qing said one sentence after another in an addictive manner:

"Hi! My name is Yuan Qing, what's your name, little monk!"

"Hey, I've said so much, you should reply at least!"

Just when he thought the young man would not speak until he left, the young man spoke up:

"What are you doing here?"

"I am here to see someone." Yuan Qing said loudly.

"who?"

"An old friend."

"Oh." The young man nodded and paused, "How long do you have to wait?"

"Not long, why?"

"It's nothing." He blushed, and finally just dropped this sentence.

"Little monk, could it be difficult for you—" Are you shy?

Yuan Qing was thinking like this, and was about to make a joke, but heard a familiar voice sounding in mid-air:

"See you again, my friend."

It was an unusually compassionate and distant voice, neither male nor female.

Before Yuan Qing could reply, he saw Kong Yuan's voice falling, a golden holy figure and a huge figure with black air all over his body appeared in the air at the same time.

"What's that?" the young monk asked in a voice suppressing his tension.

"They, one of them is the old friend I mentioned earlier, and is a god, and the other one is barely a god."

"Are you sure?" he said angrily.

"Eh, the evil god is also a god."

"Okay, so what are your old friends and that evil god doing now?"

"Wait."

"Wait for what?"

"Wait until the evil god is fully formed, and then destroy him, no, to be precise, die with him."

"Really? Gods and gods will die together, what about us? What about our world?"

"Probably will die, leaving only the soul. But don't worry," he comforted him with a smile showing his white teeth, "There are countless small worlds like ours, and there are countless middle worlds on top of them, and There are countless three thousand great thousand worlds. New gods will be born soon, and we will reappear, so don’t be afraid.”

"I'm not afraid. I'm just thinking, if my appearance is only for the creation and destruction of the world, just like the existence of this evil god is to repeat the reincarnation and destruction of the world, then what is the meaning of our existence? "

"You think this way because you haven't gone to the Middle World and the Great Thousand World, that is, beyond the Three Realms and Six Realms of Reincarnation, to have a look, to see clearly what is going on in our world, and to see clearly that you can actually be When you take the initiative to appear in the next life instead of being manipulated by others, you will feel calm and peaceful."

"Three realms and six realms? Is it the six realms of reincarnation that the master said? What is the world above?"

"It's the same, it's very boring-the supreme and infinite source continuously creates countless worlds, and then after the appearance of human beings and all sentient beings, the source becomes the great Prajna, that is, the great wisdom, the Buddha that your master said , constantly impart wisdom and practice methods, help human beings in the three realms and six realms become immortals, gods, Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and even Buddhas, and enter the Pure Land world, and then ensure that everyone enters the Pure Land world, the Buddha Lord in the Pure Land world will begin to perish, and the Pure Land will become a mother-in-law again The Three Realms and Six Paths until the three thousand great worlds of the Buddha Lord are completely destroyed. Then the next Buddha Lord will be born, and a new round of practice and becoming a Buddha will begin.”

"Do you mean that everyone can become a Buddha?"

"In a sense, it is, but at the same time, the source will continue to create the three thousand great thousand worlds of the three realms and six paths, that is, the suffering beings in the whirling world. The conclusion is that your statement that all people become Buddhas is a false proposition. ——That's why I said that after you see the source clearly, you will find that everything is very boring. The only advantage is that you will no longer have any troubles and pains, and you will clearly understand that the essence of everyone is the source from the beginning, as long as your will If you are firm enough, you can proudly say that my fate is up to me. Because the way of heaven is nothing but a spiral recursive equation and rules of reincarnation in the three realms."

After this time, the young man didn't speak again, but fell into a person's thinking.

Yuan Qing shrugged and came to the front of the golden figure.

"My friend, you seem to be in a good mood this time." The god's compassionate voice sounded.

"Oh, how did you see that?"

"Because you don't usually talk so much. Bodhicitta and salvation of sentient beings are regarded as packaging tools for your Buddhist practice game. Why did you so kindly explain this child?"

"Well," he said after stretching his waist, "the first is probably boring. After so many lives, I haven't spoken for a long time except today, the day I agreed with you. The second is " He glanced at the young man who was still deep in thought, and continued, "I really like to see him defending his strength with full of self-esteem. Besides, I didn't come up to talk to you for no reason just now. This person has a lot of predestined relationship in the future."

"My friend, after so long, your temperament is still so indifferent." The old friend said helplessly in an upright voice.

"I can't help it. After witnessing the emptiness of the original source, I don't have any normal emotions, so I like people with rich and pure emotions more and more, especially those with vicissitudes in their hearts. I like it the most. "

"Hey." The old friend suddenly sighed.

"how?"

"Ah, I'm sorry," the old friend shook his head, and then said, "I'm just a little envious when I see you with a completely free mind, neither good nor evil."

Yuan Qing was taken aback when he heard the words, and followed the gaze of the golden god to look at the evil god that had gradually formed.

After a while.

"Actually, you can too, abandon this illusory common return and fulfill the responsibility of protecting all living beings." He said.

"No, my friend. If I leave, he will become even crazier, and he will be farther and farther away from the opportunity to fully wake up and see the origin."

"It's up to you, anyway, you have been entangled for tens of thousands of kalpas, and there will be no problem for dozens of kalpas." Yuan Qing shook his head, and he was about to walk out of the enchantment set up by his old friend.

"Where are you going?"

"Go and hide the little monk in a safe place. It's not easy to meet a pleasing and playful energetic person. I don't want him to just disappear with you." He blinked innocently.

"That being the case, then we will meet again in the next calamity, my friend."

"Goodbye." He waved his hand and strode towards the identified ornament.
