The handsome man with a white jade flute turned around. At first glance, he looked very noble and sacred, but at a second glance, he had the appearance of an extraterrestrial expert who floated out of the dust and hid in the horizon. His gentle voice was heard from afar. In the ear of Qiao Tathagata, "I am missing a boat and sailing across."

"Lack of a boat?"

Qiao Rulai looked at the person in front of him, and looked around at the surrounding scenery. He was in the room of the Hundred Martial Arts Association before, but now he appeared here, and Quezhou Yifandu seemed to see the surprise in Qiao Rulai's eyes. "You are very confused, why did you come to the waterless ocean to find me?"

"I'm here to find Mr.?" Hearing Que Zhou's words, the doubts in Qiao Rulai's heart became more intense. He never knew this person, and never wanted to find him. How could it be?

"Sit." Que Zhou pointed to the seat opposite him, signaling Qiao Rulai to sit down, at the same time picked up the teapot on the table and made him a cup of tea, pushed it in front of Qiao Rulai, "This tea is for you steep."

Regarding Que Zhou's series of actions, Qiao Tathagata felt even more doubtful and at the same time was very surprised, "It's the first time we met, and it took so much trouble for Mr. Qiao Tathagata to be flattered."

"You have a relationship with the Buddha, so it's worth it." Quezhou looked at Qiao Tathagata. Those who have a relationship with the Buddha may solve all the mysteries in the near future and become the most important key.

Qiao Tathagata did not pick up the cup of tea that Que Zhou had poured for him on the table, but politely declined, "Qiao Tathagata has been a vulgar person for a long time."

"Returning to the vulgar does not mean repaying fate. And this fate is not only Buddha's fate, but also a chance." Que Zhou smiled lightly at Qiao Tathagata's statement, as if he had known this answer beforehand, leading to further topics.

Qiao Tathagata followed the trend and asked why he came here, "What is the opportunity for Qiao Tathagata to come here?"

However, his question was cleverly avoided by Que Zhou, "It's a chance for you to come."

"But Qiao Rulai didn't do it voluntarily." Qiao Rulai could sense that Mr. Que Zhou's speech skills were not inferior to his, even better than him.As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Mr. Quezhou ask back, "When the opportunity came, did you ask about volunteering?"

As pretty as a bitter chuckle came from between his teeth, he couldn't respond to Mr. Quezhou's words for a while, "Ha, what you said is right, sir."

Hearing Qiao Rulai's laughter, Quezhou knew that it was time to move on to the next topic. He picked up a cup of tea and looked at Qiao Rulai, "You have the burdens of the Shi family on you, and these burdens are for the comfort of the people and the peace of the world. , This contention is attachment. Different people have different attachments, and you cannot require everyone to have the same attachments. Therefore, contention becomes disputes, and even deteriorates into wars. These situations originate from the same cause. read."

"The damage is caused by this back and forth." Qiao Rulai lowered her eyes as she said that, he understands all this, and he has witnessed it with his own eyes, but...

Quezhou knows Qiao Tathagata's thinking, does Qiao Tathagata think that everyone can do it, "Then you still believe that you can put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha right away?"

"It's not easy. Even Qiao Tathagata can't say forgiveness easily." Qiao Tathagata sighed deeply. It is true that not everyone can do what Mr. Quezhou said, and even he cannot be perfect.

"It's time for you to understand now. Difficulty lies not in the creator, but in the recipient. The real butcher's knife is to repay the grievance. Forgiveness is to let go of yourself, to let go of attachment, to let go of hatred, but people have seven emotions, and these emotions come from pain. The memory of the group of victims who lost their loved ones, lovers, and friends is not that they cannot forgive, but they still remember, just like you now."

Qiao Tathagata looked up at Quezhou Yifandu, and asked in surprise, "Me?"

Just when Qiao Tathagata saw Que Zhou Yifan crossing, on a certain hill near the Sunken Sea in the demon world, Su Zhen, who was dressed in black, seemed to have sensed something, his eyes flickered slightly, He sighed helplessly in his heart, "It seems that Jingzhong has already made contact with people outside the Heavenly Gate of the Buddhist Kingdom, and civil strife in this Buddhist Kingdom is about to start~"

"Yanwen, the situation in the Shura Kingdom seems to have changed." Su Zhenzhen looked sideways at Shi Yanwen who was looking into the distance. They were all aware of it near the sea.

Shi Yanwen withdrew his gaze, with a trace of sadness between his brows, Su Zhenzhen noticed it, and he naturally felt it too. It stands to reason that such a situation should not happen in the Asura Kingdom led by Mr. Liang Huang, and he felt a vague premonition in his heart. "I'm afraid the sky in this devil world is about to change. Really, let's go to the Asura Kingdom to meet Mr. Liang Huang."

"Hmm." During the time they came to the Demon World, they have been to many places and met many people. Now the Demon World is in a three-legged state and it is very stable. Young Master Kaiming won't tear his face apart for a while, but now...he has a premonition that there will be a bloody storm in the devil world. The cause and when are unknown, but it won't be too far away, and it should be Go to see Mr. Liang Huang and let him prepare early.

In the waterless ocean, the conversation between Qiao Tathagata and Quezhou Yifandu continued, "What do you think is enlightenment?"

"Enlightenment lies in oneself, and one cannot seek it from outside." Qiao Tathagata pondered for a moment, and after a while, he slowly uttered the eight words.

These eight words made Que Zhou's view of Qiao Tathagata even higher. Qiao Tathagata's relationship with Buddha was deeper than he thought. "To comprehend, you really can only rely on yourself. But enlightenment is easy to be obsessed."

"Enlightenment is a moment, but before this moment, I don't know how much accumulation has passed. If the hero falls short, how can he ignore the foundation of the nine ren, and delusional attempts to forcibly strip away the seven emotions and six desires are not the same as escaping into Buddhism in order to escape. In this way, it is still enlightenment ?"

Qiao Rulai's words made Que Zhou helplessly chuckle, "Ha! Sure enough, the sea of ​​suffering knows no bounds."

Hearing this soft sigh, Qiao Tathagata immediately understood the meaning of Quezhou's words, "There is no water in the ocean and there is no boat, but there is a sail to cross the boat. Don't you also have attachments, sir?"

"Oh? What kind of obsession?" Que Zhou looked at Qiao Rulai meaningfully, waiting for Qiao Rulai's answer.

"Everywhere on the other side."

If he is really savvy, maybe Qiao Tathagata can help him, Que Zhou got up and walked to the edge of the cliff thinking about looking ahead, "This is not my only attachment."

"Dimen and great wisdom?" Qiao Rulai murmured.

"Ha, the answer itself is often another question. The Lu family is not the only one related to the Buddha Kingdom." Que Zhou chuckled, turned to look at Qiao Tathagata, glanced at the cooled tea on the table, "Ah, tea It's getting cold, but you and I haven't talked to each other, which means it's difficult to talk to each other now." As he said, Que Zhou took out a scroll, walked towards Qiao Tathagata, and handed the second scroll to him.

"Well, this is?" The moment Qiao Rulai took the scroll, he immediately returned to his room.

The change of the surrounding scene surprised Qiao Rulai. She looked at the scroll in her hand with serious eyes, "The phenomenon just now seems real and unreal. Could it be the instant transfer of thoughts? Thoughts, memories... huh?"

Opening the scroll in her hand, the contents inside surprised Qiao Rulai, "Ah?! This...isn't a dream!"

There is a story recorded in the scroll, "A long time ago, there was a monster with no story. He didn't have his own story, so he envied others for having his own story."A monster without a story is very envious that everyone has their own story, so he eats other people's stories, and he keeps eating, eating, and eating.Although he has eaten many, many stories, he is still very distressed, because none of them are his stories, he still has no story of his own.For monsters without stories, I will give everyone a new story. From then on, everyone will live a happy life. '

At this moment, an accessory Buddha bead on Qiao Rulai's body suddenly flickered, and his thoughts came back, and he clenched the scroll in his hand, "A monster with no story, cross the gate of the earth, the great Wisdom, what is the connection between this."
