burning lamp

A monk who has practiced Buddhism for 700 years but has no compassion?

Is it credible?

Xie Fengshu was lying on the branch of Wan Guchun, with one hand resting on the back of his head, and the other hand was idly trying to pull a branch of flowers and leaves in front of him.

After Jiang Chen said those words yesterday, he closed his eyes and meditated, letting Xie Fengshu walk around, let alone speak, not even looking at him.

Xie Fengshu persuaded him for a long time, from the time when the Buddha cut meat to feed the eagles to the common people in the world, he said that he was about to escape into Buddhism, but the other party still didn't even respond.It was already the third watch at that time, and another stone Buddha sitting on the lotus platform, holding flowers and smiling came back to life, asking the same sentence: "Jiang Chen, do you know how to regret it?"

Xie Fengshu was furious at the time, before Jiang Chen in front of him could open his mouth, he turned his head and said to the relief: "I don't regret it tonight, please come early tomorrow!"

Shi Buddha seemed to be intimidated by Xie Fengshu's voice, he didn't ask the rest of the question twice, and he didn't turn his head back, just stuck in mid-air, staring at the two with wide eyes, dropping stones from time to time. Wall dust.

Jiang Chen's hand twirling the beads paused for a moment, then continued to move them one by one as if nothing had happened.

Stone Buddha also said three words, this man is really not as good as a stone.Xie Fengshu's heart was filled with anger, he went straight out of the Dharma hall, closed the door heavily, and kept the rotten piece of wood that could not be carved to continue chanting.

When the door was closed heavily, the stone Buddha seemed to wake up from fright: "He he he—"

Jiang Chen still closed his eyes and ignored him, Shi Buddha paused for a moment, seemed to finally wake up, and gave a long drink: "Amitabha."

His voice was long and deep, and as soon as the voice fell, the three thousand Buddhas on the three stone walls suddenly started to move.

Whether they are sitting or lying down, laughing or angry, their bodies and demeanors have not changed, but their heads are slowly turning towards Jiang Chen's direction, casting their eyes on the plain white figure sitting in the center of the Dharma hall, and some are chanting the Buddha's name , and some whispered to each other, the tone may be surprised or angry.

The originally quiet Dharma hall was filled with voices of large and small voices and the clicking sound of stones turning, and it was very lively for a while.

Jiang Chen finally opened his eyes.

He didn't go to see any of the three thousand gods and Buddhas, but just looked at the ever-burning lamp on the desk, and said calmly: "The guest has already left."

He was talking about Xie Fengshu, the voices of the Buddhas became softer, but they did not stop.Jiang Chen frowned, and said softly, "Everyone."

His voice was not too loud, but it seemed to cover all the stone Buddha's arguments at once.Facing the three thousand Buddhas, big and small, Jiang Chen was neither frightened nor apprehensive, and didn't even move.His eyes fell on the lamp, and his tone was calm and unwavering.

"Shut up."

If Xie Fengshu was here, he would definitely teach him earnestly: "You little monk dare to talk to all Buddhas like this, no wonder you are still in this mountain for 700 years."

But Xie Fengshu was not there, so he couldn't see it either. After Jiang Chen finished speaking, all the stone Buddhas fell silent.

They had different expressions, as if they were still unwilling, but none of them spoke again.Afterwards, the three thousand stone Buddhas turned around slowly at the same time, restored their previous posture and face, and turned into cold reliefs on the stone wall.

Jiang Chen straightened his back and sat motionless on the futon.The Dharma hall became silent again, Jiang Chen stopped chanting sutras, and there seemed to be only the slight sound of wind outside the door between the heaven and the earth.

Xie Fengshu has lived through the past few hundred years, and it was rare that once his temper came up, he made up his mind to take this monk away, and he didn't want to face him face to face for the time being, so he wandered around the courtyard twice to calm down, and found that there was even a Zen room Not at all, so he turned over to Wan Guchun in front of the temple, found a place and lay down.

Of course he wouldn't go back easily, as soon as he came out of the mountain, he met the son-mother ghost, and the wooden sign was placed in the belly of the corpse majestically, without any cover except because the weather was too cold and the blood was congealed.

How can there be such a coincidence in the world, even a fool can see that the other party did it deliberately.

However, once Xie Fengshu's curiosity was aroused, even ten cows could not be pulled back.The wind and snow stopped at night, and he looked at the vast galaxy through the overlapping layers of flowers, and most of the anger in his heart dissipated unknowingly.

The reason for his anger was not that Jiang Chen ignored people, but that he really wanted to take this monk away.

Although it was one of the reasons that he felt that the other party could help, the more important reason was that Xie Feng didn't know why, and simply liked the other party.

Very very pleasing to the eye.

Maybe it was because this was the first person he met since he came out of the mountain, and there were so many mysteries about him, Xie Fengshu couldn't help but want to get to the bottom of it, especially after hearing that the other person had practiced for 700 years.

A lamp, a temple, and a Dharma hall filled with 700 Buddhas. After [-] years of reading scriptures like this, I still have to wait for a stone Buddha to make a voice every night like a fake corpse.

Xie Fengshu felt a little out of breath just thinking about it.

Doesn't he feel bored and don't want to go down the mountain?

Xie Fengshu thought about it, and finally heaved a long sigh among the thousands of flowers.

Forget it, Xie Fengshu thought, wait until tomorrow to persuade that Yumu head, if the other party insists on not going out of the mountain, then I will go by myself.After finishing the work, I will go to the western heavens with the cheek to ask which Buddha to show kindness, accept this stupid monk, and act like an immortal king to do good every day.

But I have never been to the realm of Buddha cultivation, and I have never dealt with the Buddhas. I have the name of Lingheng Xianjun, but I have no real power in reality, and I don't know if the other party can sell my face.

Xie Fengshu thought about it messily, leaned against the tree and slept for a while, and came to the present moment in a flash.It was already dawn, but still no one came out.

He couldn't hold back his face and went back to the Dharma hall, he was bored pulling the flowers and leaves, and accidentally got a little stronger, and pulled down a Wanguchun.

"..."

Well, now there are only nineteen thousand seven hundred and sixteen flowers on this tree.

Xie Fengshu looked around guiltily, thinking about how to destroy the corpse, when he heard a slight knock on the door.

Xie Fengshu threw away the flowers and turned over to sit up, meeting Jiang Chen's gaze under the tree.

Xie Fengshu was the first to smile at people: "Good morning, cultivator."

The other party didn't seem to expect to see Xie Fengshu either, so he stopped and said after a while: "I thought you were gone."

"How can it be?" Xie Fengshu jumped down from the tree and patted his robe, "I haven't persuaded the cultivator to change his mind yet."

Jiang Chen glanced at him, turned around and walked into the temple.Xie Fengshu hurriedly followed.

"Don't the cultivators feel bored in this mountain?

"Cultivators practicing in the mountains are practicing, and going to the world to practice is not also practicing?

"The world is vast, should practitioners stop thinking about it?"

Xie Fengshu talked like a cannonball, and when he saw the other party ignoring him and entered the Dharma hall, he felt a little angry.When he was impulsive, he couldn't make up his mind. Standing in the courtyard, he shouted angrily towards the Dharma Hall: "Monk!"

The people in the hall paused, turned around and looked outside the door.

Xie Fengshu pretended to be a Lingfeng and arrogant fairy for a few days, but finally he couldn't pretend anymore.He didn't enter the door either, just stood at the door and looked at Jiang Chen in the Dharma Hall, and asked loudly, "Don't you think it's too long to not ascend for 700 years?"

Jiang Chen's expression did not change, he just listened to what he said.Seeing that the other party was finally willing to listen to his speech, Xie Fengshu cleared his throat and said, "I am not talented. I have cultivated spirits in 100 years, transformed into form in 200 years, and ascended to Taoism in 300 years. I was conferred the title of immortal."

If Ming Ke were here, she would have jumped up and scolded Xie Fengshu for being shameless, but the person in front of Xie Fengshu was Jiang Chen, and after hearing such a series of words, his expression remained unchanged.

After Xie Fengshu finished speaking, he cleared his throat and continued: "Now that I have met you, it is fate, and I would like to give you some pointers to help you reach the Western Paradise early."

He raised his eyebrows at Jiang Chen, and lowered his voice: "You don't cross yourself and you don't cross others, so how about this fairy crossing you?"

Jiang Chen only spoke at this moment: "How to cross?"

Xie Fengshu looked at Jiang Chen and paused every word.

"The cultivator and I went out of the mountain to retrieve the magic weapon, and I helped the cultivator to ascend."

After Xie Fengshu finished speaking, everything was quiet inside and outside.

It was still early at this time, there was still a little morning light in the courtyard, and the dharma hall was still a little dark.One of them is in the house, the other is in the courtyard, looking up at each other between light and darkness.

Jiang Chen looked at Xie Fengshu outside the door from inside the dharma hall. The three thousand gods and Buddhas bowed their heads on the wall. At this moment, they were hard and cold stone sculptures, making no sound.

He and Xie Fengshu looked at each other for a long time in such silence.

Finally, Jiang Chen said: "What magic weapon was lost?"

Now that it's all over, Xie Fengshu confessed straightforwardly: "Xingluo horoscope."

Jiang Chen's eyebrows moved slightly.

Seeing his appearance, Xie Fengshu knew that the other party knew the usefulness of the horoscope.Xie Fengshu was not so surprised that Jiangchen, the magic weapon of the immortal family, knew about it, and just waited patiently for the other party's answer.

Jiang Chen was silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking about, and finally said: "Wu Chu's whereabouts are mysterious, and I haven't been in the world for a long time, so it's unknown whether I can find it."

This is the promise.

Xie Fengshu heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately hit the snake with the stick: "It's okay, let's try our luck. When is the cultivator planning to leave?"

"...Just call me by my Dharma name." Jiang Chen probably couldn't bear Xie Fengshu's words of cultivator and mage, so he said, "Now."

Xie Fengshu didn't bring anything else when he went down the mountain, and while waiting for Jiang Chen to clean up, he finally couldn't help but go to the stone wall of the Dharma hall, knocked on the stone carving disrespectfully, and asked, "Is this Buddha cultivator?" Ask every day?"

"Ah."

"How long have you been asking?"

"700."

Isn't that the question that was asked from the beginning of the monk's practice?

Xie Fengshu was full of doubts: "Then what should you do now that you are out of the mountain?"

"They stopped asking."

Jiang Chen also seemed to have nothing on his body, so he raised his hand and took off the lamp on the desk.The permanent lamp was still burning, because it was daytime, the candlelight was obviously not as bright as the daylight, and the flame was burning steadily in the center.

Xie Fengshu withdrew his hand and walked to his side: "You want to take this lamp?"

Jiang Chen gave a "hmm" and said a short formula lightly, and the lamp disappeared.

Seeing this monk now, Xie Fengshu felt that he was interesting everywhere, so he opened his mouth and shouted: "Jiangchen."

As soon as he said the Dharma name directly, he went up to the pole and called out without any burden.Jiang Chen raised his eyes, Xie Fengshu then asked: "You have cultivated in this mountain for 700 years, and this lamp has been lit for 700 years?"

Jiang Chen nodded lightly.

Xie Fengshu was really interested now, he followed Jiang Chen and asked, "What's the name of your lamp?"

Jiang Chen had already pushed open the door, and the sunlight poured in, breaking through one side of the world and illuminating the two people in white clothes.

He didn't turn his head, only answered in the sky——

"Nirvana."

Not subject to all karma, not trapped in life and death, this is called Nirvana.
