When the devil respects life as a waste

Continuous hard work on the glacier, from dusk and sunset to deep night, and then from daybreak to dawn, the temples and clothes corners of the three masters and apprentices were covered with ice and snow.

When the cold white sunlight fell on the world from directly above his head, Xie Lingjun finally arrived at the foot of the rolling hills outside Lingshan Mountain.

"To get to Lingshan from here, you still need to climb over nine high mountains." Jiang Xie raised his head and looked up at the mountains in front of him, with nostalgic brilliance in his eyes.

Xie Lingjun finally remembered the past, and couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion.

When he was in his 20s, because of greed and aggressiveness, all his cultivation was lost, and he almost became a useless person who could not breathe out spiritual power.It was Jiang Xie who never gave up, took him with one hand and rushed to Lingshan to seek medical treatment, sheltered him from the wind and snow, and used his thin face to beg the eminent monk to treat him.Only then was he able to recover, and he was able to advance steadily in the future, step by step.

At this moment, Xie Lingjun and Shen Zhengze were standing beside Jiang Xie's shoulders.

Xie Lingjun turned his face slightly, and he could see Jiang Xie's expression, but Jiang Xie's eyes were full of nostalgia and sadness.Xie Lingjun had so many emotions in his heart that it was difficult to distinguish clearly.

He thought to himself: It turns out that my insignificant resentment towards Master was actually the work of Nightmare.It turns out that Master doesn't hate demons, he must have hidden secrets when he chased and killed me that day.

Xie Lingjun already knew that Jiang Xie was devoted to him wholeheartedly, not his biological father, but better than his biological father, and all the misunderstandings in his previous life have been resolved, so how could he not understand what Jiang Xie was thinking in his heart?

Both Jiang Xie and Xie Ling are like father and son.Jiang Xie single-handedly raised Xie Lingjun up, taught him swordsmanship and the way of life, taught him how to behave in the world, and sought medical treatment for him in the snow... Counting everything in detail, it is not uncommon for an ordinary father to treat his own children. He will do better than Jiang Xie.

But Xie Lingjun had an accident, fell into a coma, and was forcibly taken back to the Miaoyin Pavilion by Chang Xiangsi. It is self-evident how much this was a blow to Jiang Xie.

Xie Lingjun thought of this, pursed his lips, then slowly opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

Jiang Xie led the two of them, and after another nine days and nine nights, they reached the top of the ninth hill.

Xie Lingjun stood on the top of the mountain, looking at Lingshan several miles away.

The mountain they stood on was just the foot of Lingshan.If you look down at the bottom of the mountain, you can only see the sea of ​​clouds raging, the wind blowing through the clouds, and you can't see the situation at the bottom of the valley clearly; but you can hear the sound of the waves and the roaring torrent hitting the rock wall.

But looking up, Lingshan is so high that it can't see the top, and it goes straight to Xiaoyun, as if it has penetrated the high sky and reached the nine heavens.

Between the top of the ninth hill and the foot of Lingshan Mountain, there is a thin and narrow iron chain several miles long, hidden in the clouds, for people to pass through.

This is a rule that everyone who goes to Lingyin Temple knows - no imperial weapons, no spells, only skin/flesh.

This is called "sincerity".Sincerity leads to spirit, it is spiritual sound.

Lingyin Temple never forces monks to do this, but everyone who goes to Lingyin Temple knows that sincerity is very important.

Xie Lingjun and the others were about to leave the plank road and step onto the passing chains. Before they could move, they heard a mellow and gentle male voice from the opposite cliff——

"Amitabha. The benefactor has come from afar, but Lingyin Temple has never come to welcome him, so he hopes to forgive his sins."

Before the lingering sound disappeared, Xie Lingjun looked into the distance again, and he was able to clearly see a monk in a red cassock through the mist.

The monk who came to greet him is called Huikong, and he is the elder of Lingyin Temple.

According to the usual practice, the monks going to Lingyin Temple can only see the disciples of the lower court when they are halfway up the Lingshan Mountain; only after climbing to the upper court can they see the elders and presiding officers of the temple.

However, the three of Xie Lingjun were intercepted and killed by the demon cultivator on the outskirts of Lingshan Mountain. The sharp sword intent of the sword cultivator and the strong bloody aura of the dead demon cultivator touched the formations arranged on the periphery, making Hui Kong, who was attending the ceremony, feel uneasy.He will wait until the three of Xie Lingjun arrive at the foot of Lingshan Mountain and come out to greet them.

But if you want to think that Hui Kong's greeting is to help the three masters and apprentices get through the cold lock, then you have misunderstood Hui Kong's meaning again.

After Hui Kong finished speaking, he stood there holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, quietly waiting for the three of them to cross the river.

The three masters and apprentices returned the gift.

Jiang Xie took the lead and stepped onto the cold lock.Xie Lingjun and Shen Zhengze followed closely behind.The three of them walked steadily, the ice and snow could not invade their bodies, and the north wind could not affect their hearts.

Half an hour later, the three masters and apprentices jumped down from the cold lock and met Zen Master Huikong.After Huikong saluted again, he turned around and led the three of them on the ladder path.

It took Huikong ten days to walk down from the top of the mountain, and it took another ten days for him to lead Xie Lingjun to Lingyin Temple.

So far, it is the middle ten days of June, and it is only half a month before the end of the Zen Dharma Conference.

·

The climate varies from continent to continent.

Beiming Continent, Wantian Continent, and Wanzhao Continent, these three continents are in mid-June, which is the time of summer, and the climate is warm. It's too early to say it's hot, but there are already signs of midsummer.The warm wind blowing from all directions also makes mortals drowsy, almost drunk in the summer wind.

And the area west of Xilu, Anling, Xiya, Glacier and Polar Sky, gets colder the further west you go.

Lingyin Temple, where Lingyin Temple is located, is located in the southeast of the glacier. It is always cold and snowy, which is the opposite of the extreme east sea which is like spring all the year round.

Lingshan is extremely high, and the foot of the mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist. When you reach the top of the mountain, the climate is almost the same as that on Jitian West Cliff.

Xie Lingjun has a lot of fire spirits, so he is cold-resistant, so when he reaches the top of the mountain, he only needs to let the spiritual power circulate in his body more vigorously, just like being next to a stove, and he is not afraid of the severe cold weather at all.

But Shen Zhengze was different.He has excellent water spirit aptitude, although he breathes and breathes spiritual power evenly, but his physique is colder than Xie Lingjun's.The glacier is still bearable, the more you go up the Lingshan Mountain, the colder you feel, and the cold feeling reaches the peak at the top of the mountain, and you shrank slightly.

A competitive person like Shen Zhengze, of course endured it, and even Xie Lingjun, who had been paying attention to him all the time, didn't find anything unusual until he shivered.

"I was negligent." Xie Lingjun said softly.

After finishing speaking, he walked around Jiang Xie to the right side of Shen Zhengze, picked up the other's hand, and the spiritual power was continuously transmitted by the ten fingers of the two tightly clasped.

Shen Zhengze felt extremely cold just now, but once Xie Lingjun's spiritual power entered his body, not only was he not cold at all, but an unspeakable hotness rushed towards his dantian.

Huikong stopped in front of the gate of Lingyin Temple, turned around, clasped his hands together, said "Amitabha", and then said: "The Zen Dharma Conference is coming to an end, if the murderous spirit doesn't frighten the poor monk, the poor monk will never Leaving the venue hastily. Right now, the presiding officer is discussing Buddhism with the monks of the Huayan Sect, and the poor monk does not want to miss the last ten days.

"The benefactors have already arrived at Lingyin Temple. I don't know if we can wait for more than ten days. Or, you are in a hurry. If it is the latter, please let me know. The poor monk will definitely talk to you."

It turns out that there are many sects of Buddhism. Lingyin Temple belongs to Zen Buddhism and integrates Mahayana and Mahayana Buddhism.The Buddhist School of Buddhism gathers Buddhist sects from the Three Realms, such as Huayan School, Tiantai School and so on.

Since ancient times, Buddhist cultivators have developed great powers in body training and medical skills. Whenever the Buddhist Patriarchal Dharma Association is held, the number of monks who come to seek medical treatment increases rapidly.

For the monks of Lingyin Temple, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda.Empty talk about Buddhism is worse than directly saving one's life.

That's why Huikong asked Xie Lingjun and the others if it was important. If it was a matter of life, even if it affected the Dharma conference, they would not hesitate to do so, and absolutely put helping others first.

Hearing Hui Kong's words, Jiang Xie felt relieved, and replied: "Thank you, elder, it's not a big deal, but things are a little tricky, so I specially chose to come at the end of the Buddhist Dharma Association."

Then Huikong smiled and said: "Then all benefactors will go with the poor monk to the layman's dormitory, and stay here for now."

The main gate of Lingyin Temple is forged from black iron, which weighs ten thousand jun, and Huikong pushed open the iron gate, seemingly effortlessly.

Outside the temple, Xie Lingjun could only hear the singing of birds in the empty valley and the stirring of the spiritual spring, but when he stepped into the temple, all he could hear were Sanskrit sounds.These layers of Sanskrit sounds are nothing more than the routine recitation by the monks in Lingyin Temple, or the eminent monks talking about the scriptures and Buddhism in the Dharma Assembly.

As soon as Shen Zhengze heard this voice, the anxiety that had always been lingering in his heart began to gradually subside.In addition, Xie Lingjun held his hand tightly and infused him with spiritual power, Shen Zhengze only felt that nothing could be better, and he really wanted to let time stop at this moment.

Lingyin Temple is not big or small, but it is far behind Qingyang Pavilion.

There are 72 spiritual peaks in Qingyang Pavilion. Changliu Peak has a dazzling rainbow in mid-air, and above the rainbow are thirteen towering towers.

The upper courtyard of Lingyin Temple is only slightly larger than the six pavilions of Qingyang Pavilion combined, but it is by no means small.

After passing through the Daxiong Hall, the Sutra Pavilion, the Zen room, etc., you will arrive at the layman's hut.The squatter room was very long, and Huikong stopped when he was almost at the end of the corridor.

"Blessing benefactors, there are still [-] huts left, please choose to live in." Huikong said.

On behalf of the two disciples, Jiang Xie bowed slightly and said, "Thank you Elder Huikong, I will lead my disciples to disturb you later."

Huikong smiled and said: "Don't disturb me. The poor monk still remembers the benefactor, who came to Lingyin Temple 300 years ago." He said and looked at Xie Lingjun who was behind Jiang Xie, "The young people at that time are now so old. "

Jiang Xie turned his head to look at Xie Lingjun, sighed, and said, "The elder doesn't know anything. Something happened to the big apprentice back then. He is now frozen in the jade coffin and led to the Miaoyin Pavilion by the Chang Pavilion master. The person behind him The eldest disciple came from Beiming Xie's family and is related to him, he is my third disciple, I also named him Xie Lingjun."

Huikong let out an "oh", still smiling, very generous and kind.

He didn't say whether he believed it or not, but it looked as if he already believed in everything, that the world was purely good.

"The poor monk will take his leave." Hui Kong bowed, then turned around, put the Buddhist beads in his hand on his neck and walked away.

Jiang Xie gave a few more instructions, chose a nearby hut and opened the door to enter.

Xie Lingjun pointed to the hut at the end of the corridor with his free finger, and asked, "Where are we going?"

Shen Zhengze was stunned for a moment, pointed to the room next to Jiang Xie, and asked doubtfully, "What are you doing so far away?" After asking, he thought of something, and his expression became ashamed.

Xie Lingjun originally intended to be quiet, but he didn't expect Shen Zhengze to think wrong, so he immediately stretched out his index finger, tapped Shen Zhengze's eyebrows lightly, and said with a smile: "A place of Buddhism, what are you thinking about?"

Being teased by Xie Lingjun so much, Shen Zhengze's right ear couldn't help turning red, and he became angry from embarrassment: "You know what I'm thinking again. You didn't read my mind, so why do you say I'm dreaming!"

"Okay." Xie Lingjun raised his eyebrows, shook his head helplessly, and flicked Shen Zhengze's forehead.

Shen Zhengze only felt a tingling sensation on his forehead, and thought of Xie Lingjun just saying "the most important place of Buddhism", he pursed his lips for a moment and tried to hold back, probably suppressing the unstoppable ripples in his heart.

"Okay." Shen Zhengze breathed a sigh of relief, and said refreshingly, "If you want to be quiet, then listen to you, we just live at the end of the corridor."

While talking, he pulled Xie Lingjun to the end.

The interior of the house is very simple, but it is not shabby either.Just a table and two chairs, a bed and a curtain.

Xie Lingjun looked around and asked, "Do you want to lie down or sit?"

Shen Zhengze replied: "Sit down."

The two of them kept their fingers clasped, and sat face to face at the table in meditation.

In the middle of the night, Xie Lingjun suddenly sensed a faint killing intent, and just as he reacted, Shen Zhengze's fingers on the other side moved slightly.

Xie Lingjun nodded to Shen Zhengze, then let go of his hands and rushed out.

Outside the corridor are planted plantains as high as the eaves, and the leaves rustle in the wind.Although Lingshan is cold, the vegetation in the temple is still cold and verdant due to the watering of spiritual power, full of business.

The banana leaf in front of Xie Lingjun was half weakened, and the emerald green leaves instantly withered and turned yellow, and he sat lightly on the wooden chair in the promenade.

Then came the second, third...

Although both sides in the fight tried their best to suppress their murderous intent, just a little scattered killing intent was enough to destroy a banana plant.

Several plantains in front of Xie Lingjun drooped down, listlessly, and slowly collapsed to the ground.

"I also ask you two to stop quickly, and don't end up killing."

A solemn and solemn question came from all directions, hitting all the laymen in the hut.

Xie Lingjun's heart sank.He wanted to draw his sword, but he was afraid of angering the monks in the temple; but it was really not in his character to sit and wait for death.Thinking about it, I fell into a tangle for a while.

Why does Xie Lingjun think that someone is targeting them?Not for anything else, just because of the two fighting in mid-air, one of them was his master Jiang Xie.

Jiang Xie was two realms higher than him, so he was naturally able to detect the maliciousness one step ahead of him. In order to protect his two apprentices, he shot angrily.

And the other person who was fighting, Xie Lingjun also knew, and had seen it a few months ago.

When Daily Xiangsi went to Qingyang Pavilion, he led 32 people from [-] sects, plus Chang Xiangsi himself, there were three great powers of the Supreme Realm.

"It's him." Shen Zhengze walked to Xie Lingjun's side and sensed who was coming.

Xie Lingjun nodded and said: "Cang Haiyi Sect's head, Cen Tingyu, is proficient in strategy and calculation, and is a master of no-self realm."

Yi Zong's hundred hexagram masters have been calculating for a hundred years, and finally found the ninth ten thousand-year chance, but the chance is looming.Once Cen Tingyu realized that the opportunity was about to run out, he told Chang Xiangsi about it, which led to the feat of the day.

The jagged Sanskrit voices in the temple first paused slightly, then became uniform and louder and louder.The coercion contained in the Sanskrit sounds makes the listener almost breathless.

No matter how dull the people in the other laymen's dorms were, they all reacted one after another by this time, pushing the door open and rushing out one after another.

"What happened? Why chant?"

"There is a great coercion in the scriptures. Someone must have angered the eminent monk of Lingyin Temple, causing the eminent monk to get angry! It is a thief who is not open-eyed, and dares to make trouble at the Buddhist sect ceremony."

"It's true that the fire at the city gate caused the fish in the pond, and the gangsters caused chaos. As a result, I was almost out of breath by the scriptures of the eminent monk."

……

Xie Lingjun listened intently and discerned scriptures from the Sanskrit sounds.

"Miao Zhan always hold on to the Buddha, the king of Shurangama hopes to have it. I will destroy my upside-down thinking for hundreds of millions of kalpas, and it will not be possible for monks to obtain the Dharma body. I hope that today I will become a treasured king and save all the people like Hengsha. I sincerely enshrine this Dust brake..."

Xie Lingjun and Shen Zhengze looked at each other.

"It's the Shurangama Mantra." Xie Lingjun said.After judging the content of the Sanskrit, he was slightly relieved.

Once the Zen monks in Lingyin Temple hear the morning bell and evening drum, they will recite the "Shurangama Mantra" in the morning and evening.

"Who dares to act presumptuously in Lingyin Temple?"

After the persuasion was ineffective, the original solemn voice became more and more indifferent.

Xie Lingjun was anxious and flew up to the roof with his sword.

In mid-air, a man with a long sword in his hand and a green shirt with temple hair was swinging his sword vigorously, trying to shoot down his opponent.

The other holds the hexagram banner in his left hand, and keeps moving the hexagram plate with his right hand.

The former is Jiang Xie, the master of Beiming Continent and Qingyang Pavilion, and the other is Cen Tingyu, who came to Qingyang Pavilion as an important person after being in love with each other in the past.

Although hexagram masters are usually engaged in strategizing and calculation, once they fight, they are extremely difficult to deal with.Because of the seven laws of Tao, only the law of cause and effect is the most difficult to detect.

Jiang Xie is a swordsman, and most of the magic and physical arts he uses are magic, and the laws involved are nothing more than the law of the universe and the law of matter.Cen Tingyu, however, used his strategy and calculations to practice the law of cause and effect, and was able to know Jiang Xie's moves and paths before he made a move.

Both sides are perfect in the realm of selflessness. From the perspective of cultivation alone, there is no difference between who is deep and who is shallow.

Most hexagram masters think that the secrets of the heavens should not be revealed, and they only plan and calculate within the scope allowed by the law of heaven. Compared with the belligerent sword cultivators, what they dislike most is fighting.

Jiang Xie seldom had the opportunity to fight against Gua Shi. When he really fought with Cen Tingyu, he was at a disadvantage at first, and then he was beaten even more.

Originally, Cen Tingyu had to spend a lot of mental and spiritual energy in planning Jiang Xie's moves, but when he became more and more familiar with Jiang Xie's methods, he was able to find time to fight back.

Jiang Xie was struggling to survive by relying on constant attacks, and he had to parry Cen Tingyu's counterattack, which made him feel more and more stretched.

"Don't do anything!" Jiang Xie was anxious when he saw Shen Zhengze jumping up to the roof, "Shen Zhengze, hurry to the ceremony, find the host, and ask him to protect you. Don't get involved in the fight between me and Cen Tingyu! "

They were able to defeat the demon cultivator more than ten days ago, relying on the location.Moxiu traveled thousands of miles to glacier and consumed a lot of magic energy, and glacier is full of spiritual power, and spirits and demons counteract each other.This is the only way to get away with winning.

But Cen Tingyu is a hexagram master in the realm of selflessness, and his realm is better than that of Shen Zhengze. Even Jiang Xie finds it difficult to deal with it, let alone his two apprentices.

Xie Lingjun saw the scene of Jiang Xie fighting with Cen Tingyu, and knew in his heart that if the two of them didn't use the power of their souls, they would never be able to defeat Cen Tingyu.But if you want to use the power of the soul in front of the eminent monk, you can't argue with it.

Shen Zhengze came to Lingyin Temple to seek medical treatment, so that the eminent monk could cleanse his soul and suppress his inner demons.If the power of the soul is exposed, and the demons enter the soul, it will be difficult not to be suspected, and the matter of soul washing will be out of the question.

After hearing Jiang Xie's words, Xie Lingjun turned his head and said to Shen Zhengze: "Go to the Fa conference quickly, Cen Tingyu should be here for you."

Shen Zhengze gritted his teeth, unwilling to betray Master and let Master fight alone, but he also knew that he was a drag here.

"Okay." Shen Zhengze gasped angrily, looked up at Jiang Xie for the last time, and then Yu Jian flew away.

When Shen Zhengze arrived at the venue of the Dharma meeting, he saw an eminent monk wearing a red cassock with his right shoulder folded, stepping out from among the monks with his palms folded.

"Master Huiming!" Shen Zhengze shouted.

Huiming didn't squint, turned a deaf ear, and kept walking fast.The cassock fluttered in the wind and snow, and the ice and snow turned into water vapor before it even got close to his body.The dense mist around Huiming's body adds hazyness and mystery to him.

Shen Zhengze saw that Huiming was getting closer and closer to him, the distance of hundreds of feet passed in the blink of an eye.

"The sword cultivator in the air is my master, Jiang Xie, the master of the Qingyang Pavilion in Beiming Continent. The other one holding the flag is the head of Canghai Yizong, Cen Tingyu, the hexagram master." Shen Zhengze had no time to think about it, suddenly Tell the whole situation in front of me, for fear that Huiming will pass by me in the next second.

Huiming didn't slow down, and finally said: "Benefactor, please come with me."

While speaking, Huiming had passed Shen Zhengze and rushed to the layman's dormitory.

Shen Zhengze Yujian was also very reluctant to keep up, and said eagerly: "The disciple is twenty, and just this year he escaped from the secular world, and he joined the Master of the Qingyang Pavilion, Jiang Xie, as his teacher. He has never left the Beiming Continent. The disciple's temperament is not to say that he is kind. , but it will never commit crimes.

"This disciple has never had a half-word conversation with Master Cen before, let alone offending Master Cen. However, Master Cen came here for the disciple, and the master is just to protect the disciple's life. Please return the matter today. Host Mingcha..."

Shen Zhengze spoke urgently and quickly, but he still hadn't finished speaking.

The two had already arrived at the layman's dormitory.

Xie Lingjun stood on one side of the roof, and host Huiming jumped onto the roof and stood on the other side, echoing Xie Lingjun from a distance.

Xie Lingjun was no longer as anxious as before, and only looked up at the two fighting in midair.

After playing for a while, not only Cen Tingyu was familiar with Jiang Xie's ways, Jiang Xie also understood Cen Tingyu's algorithm.Jiang Xie originally wanted to hit the hexagram banner on Cen Tingyu's left hand, but deliberately swung his sword at the opponent's right hand.

Cen Tingyu believed in his plan, so he rolled the hexagram with his left hand.The hexagram banner unfolded, and the banner turned into a circle in the continuous rotation, which was used to resist Jiang Xie's sword move.

A section of hexagrams was used for defense, and the speed and accuracy of Cen Tingyu's calculations were greatly weakened, and Jiang Xie soon cut off a piece of sleeve on his right hand.

"Amitabha." Huiming said softly, holding the Buddha beads and making a bow, "Why don't you two listen to persuasion?"

Jiang Xie is different from Cen Tingyu.

When Cen Tingyu had the upper hand, the counterattack was deadly and full of killing intent.And when Jiang Xie suppressed Cen Tingyu everywhere, he kept a hand, and didn't intend to take the other's life.

Jiang Xie came here because he wanted to know why Cen Tingyu wanted to kill Shen Zhengze, and secondly, he couldn't break the precept of killing in Lingyin Temple.

So when he heard Huiming's question, he was afraid of angering Shen Zhengze, and immediately took the time to answer: "Holy Monk Mingjian, it's not that I hurt the killer, but I had to stop Master Cen from killing."

There are six great talents in the world. It is generally recognized that Miaoyin Pavilion Chang Xiangsi has the highest cultivation level, followed by Beiming Jiang Zheng, but the most respected one is the presider of Lingyin Temple, Master Huiming.

Cen Tingyu waited for Jiang Xie to finish speaking before slowly opening his mouth: "I have to kill Shen Zhengze, and keeping him alive may cause endless harm."

Huiming said "Amitabha", and finally made a move.

The moment the coercion of the Supreme Realm was released, Jiang Xie and Cen Tingyu's movements both paused, and then began to slow down and become weaker.

The difference in realms is insurmountable. Like Xie Lingjun and Shen Zhengze crossing two realms, it is simply impossible to kill a demon cultivator in the state of no self with the cultivation base of the world-viewing realm.

That day when Xie Lingjun fought Wei Lianying, the other party unsealed the ancient Canglong in the Withered Wood Dragon's Cry.

Huiming hadn't made a move yet, coercion alone was enough for Cen Tingyu and Jiang Xie to weigh in.

Cen Tingyu sighed angrily, and finally took back the hexagram streamers and hexagram disks that were constantly calculating, and then raised his head to the sky and screamed, saying: "It's over! Everything is in vain! I counted the demon seed coming into the world a month ago, and deliberately Come here and wait. If there is no battle today, there will be no peace in the world in the future!"

Jiang Xie withdrew his sword, furiously said: "It's you again! If you didn't push Chang Xiangsi to ask for someone, how could my first apprentice be taken away by Miaoyin Pavilion now. It's not enough for me to have one apprentice, and now I want to kill my second apprentice.

"It's nonsense to say that the demons came to the world! Shen Zhengze was born clean, and his clansmen have been officials for generations, most of them are honest and upright people. They only entered the Qingyang Pavilion this year, and there is absolutely no possibility of contact with the demons. I see you I don’t have the ability, but I’m good at bewitching people with gossip!”

Seeing that the two men stopped, Huiming said "Amitabha" again, but did not comment on what the two said.

Cen Tingyu was furious, raised the banner, pointed at Jiang Xie, and asked, "What are you doing here at Lingyin Temple? Don't tell me it's to see the scenery of Lingshan Mountain!"

If it is said that Cen Tingyu's calculations are inaccurate, then there is no divination master in the Three Realms who is more accurate in his calculations.

Jiang Xie actually believed Cen Tingyu's words, because there were too many mysteries about Shen Zhengze - his obsession with Xie Lingjun, his unprecedented promotion speed, his superb swordsmanship...

And Shen Zhengze's demons.

After Jiang Xie led Shen Zhengze to the twelfth floor of Qingyang Pavilion, he turned around and had a careful exchange with Ji Yanran, He Zhizhou, Zheng Sinan, and Dr. Yan.If it wasn't for Shen Zhengze's heart demon oath, he would also be suspicious of the other party.

Jiang Xie thought like this in his heart, but he said coldly: "What does it have to do with you! Why did I come to Lingyin Temple, what do I have to tell a person who deliberately murdered my disciple?"

"Heh!" Cen Tingyu sneered, "I'm not going to speak directly at this time, but I still have to argue with me. Didn't you come to Lingyin Temple to cleanse Shen Zhengze's soul?"

Jiang Xie frowned and said, "So what?"

Cen Tingyu put away the hexagrams, his heart was full of anger, and he said mercilessly: "You think you can fool me? There are two of your disciples living in the hut at the end of the corridor. I told you to kill monsters, and you just It is determined that the person I want to kill is Shen Zhengze, not the fake Xie Lingjun. Doesn't this expose the fact that Shen Zhengze is haunted by demons?"

Jiang Xie remained silent.

It turned out that before he was paying attention, Shen Zhengze's situation had already been exposed.

Cen Tingyu ignored Jiang Xie and flew to the roof, landing not far from Huiming and Shen Zhengze.

He first bowed to Huiming, then looked at Shen Zhengze, and said, "Let me ask you, where did your demons come from?"

Shen Zhengze was left speechless when asked.Even he himself didn't know where his demons came from, so how could he answer Cen Tingyu's question?

Of course, he could have answered the same way he had dealt with Ji Yanran, saying that it was the heart-corroding demon that caused the demon to enter his soul.

But now he is in Lingyin Temple, with Huiming standing next to him, it is obviously impossible to lie without a heart.

"Master Huiming, have you seen it? His demons come from an unknown source, and they are fierce. I asked him, but he was speechless." Cen Tingyu said.

He looked at Huiming as he spoke, and said sincerely: "If this monster is not eradicated today, it will cause countless deaths and injuries in the future. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Killing Shen Zhengze can save the world from suffering." Among them. My suggestion, please consider it, Master."

"Amitabha." Huiming sighed, "Benefactor Cen, please return wherever you come."

Seeing Huiming's statement, Cen Tingyu turned out to be expelling him.

He stood silently for a long time without saying a word, first he pursed his lips and looked at Huiming, then glanced at Shen Zhengze, finally said "Farewell", turned and left.

Only then did Huiming salute Shen Zhengze and said, "I think the benefactor Shen has a demon in his body, so he came to find the old monk to wash his soul?"

Shen Zhengze nodded at first, then shook his head after thinking about it carefully.

"If you have any difficulties with the benefactor, you may as well just tell me. If I can do it, I will definitely do my best." Huiming said.

Shen Zhengze pinched a formula, and said via voice transmission: "It's not the demons entering the body, but the demons entering the soul."

Huiming had no expression on his face, he was not surprised by Shen Zhengze's words, nor was he disgusted by his words, he just said indifferently: "If the benefactor trusts the old monk, can you lend me your hand."

Shen Zhengze was very serious at first, but Huiming's appearance was so young and tough, when he heard him say "old monk", he almost couldn't control his expression.

"Of course." Shen Zhengze held back a smile and passed his hand over.

Huiming stretched out his hand to take it, and was pressing on the meridians on Shen Zhengze's wrist, asking carefully.After a long while, he let go of Shen Zhengze's hand, frowned slightly and said, "Please ask the benefactor to accompany me for a while."

Shen Zhengze's heart trembled, and he said with a smile, "Okay."

Huiming turned to Jiang Xie and Xie Lingjun and said, "At night, the wind and snow on Lingshan Mountain are even stronger than daytime. If you two don't mind, please rest in the dormitory."

Xie Lingjun heard the words and knew that he could not go with Shen Zhengze, so he nodded in return: "Thank you, Master."

Xie Lingjun and Jiang Xie glanced at each other, then jumped off the roof helplessly, walked down the long corridor, and then walked into their rooms.

Huiming waved his sleeves towards the atrium, and the raging wind and snow suddenly softened.

At the same time, a majestic spiritual force poured into the atrium from the roof.The plantains that had collapsed withered and died all over the ground turned green again. Shi Shiran stood up, and the banana leaves were trembling, and they were more alive than before.

Huiming just jumped off the roof and walked towards the Fa Conference.

When he came, he was extremely fast, and he walked hundreds of feet in the blink of an eye. Compared with before, when he returned, he seemed a little slow in it, even though he was not walking slowly.He slowed down, obviously taking care of Shen Zhengze.

When we arrived at the Dharma meeting, it was just dawn, and Shen Zhengze looked more carefully, only then realized that his behavior not long ago was really a bit reckless.

Shen Zhengze took a glance, and with Huiming, there were [-] monks and nuns in total.

Next to Huiming, sat a young novice monk who was not yet five years old and had not received full precepts.

Shen Zhengze followed Huiming into the puja, and finally sat beside the little novice monk.

"Big brother, are you going to become a monk too?" The little novice pulled Shen Zhengze's clothes, stared at a pair of watery eyes, and whispered.He didn't know that everyone could hear what he said, and he thought that he spoke in a low voice so that no one else would know.

Shen Zhengze lowered his head, pursed his lips, and did not speak, but put a finger on his lips, signaling the little novice not to speak.

The little novice suddenly tightened his shoulders, let go of Shen Zhengze, and quietly raised his hand to cover his mouth.

After Huiming came back, he said to the five hundred monks: "Don't worry, everyone, it's nothing serious, please continue the topic just now."

Shen Zhengze listened for a while, and found that everyone was talking about the Shurangama Sutra, thinking: No wonder the Sanskrit sound he heard before was the Shurangama Mantra.

After the conclusion of the Shurangama Sutra, we talk about the five aggregates, namely form, feeling, perception, formation, and consciousness.

Shen Zhengze had only a half-knowledge of Buddhism, and after hearing it, he felt that the five aggregates had some meanings of "with self" and "without self".

Shen Zhengze listened attentively, and the whole day and night passed quickly.

The little novice has just started to practice, so it is extremely rare to be able to withstand the severe cold weather.He was so young that he couldn't comprehend the Buddhist teachings of the eminent monks at all. After a day and a night passed, he began to doze off, his head nodding.In the end, he simply leaned on Huiming's body and fell asleep leaning on it.

Shen Zhengze couldn't help but laugh, but felt better because of it.

After listening for a long time, he raised his head, and across the vast wind and snow, he could see the cold sunlight in the east.No matter how windy or snowy it is on the glacier or the West Cliff of Pole Sky, you can always see the sun.

Shen Zhengze suddenly thought: It would be great if the elder brother could accompany me.

When he came back to his senses, everyone had already talked about Mount Sumeru and the Three Thousand Worlds.

Shen Zhengze has a superb memory. He read Buddhist scriptures in the library of Qingyang Pavilion and discovered a miraculous thing—the Buddhist scriptures in this world are exactly the same as the modern world he once lived in.

This world can be compared to China in the previous life. How Buddhism was introduced to China is how Buddhism was introduced to this world.

In the modern world that Shen Zhengze lived in, Buddhism was born in Tianzhu, which is the body poison mentioned in the classics.

Buddhism entered the Central Plains from the Western Regions, and because of the route, it was finally divided into Southern Buddhism and Northern Buddhism.Later, it evolved into its own unique sects of Buddhism, such as Zen, Huayan, and Tiantai.

Perhaps it is because the author of "Legend of the Three Realms" is a Chinese, and the Buddhism in the novel also mostly uses the native Chinese Buddhism.

Therefore, some interesting phenomena can be seen.

In the modern world where the original author lives, there are eminent monks in China such as An Shigao, Zhiqian, Kumarajiva, and Tanwuchen; and the novel world also copied these personal names.

Rutan Wuzhen translated the "Nirvana Sutra" into Chinese during the Jin and Southern and Northern Dynasties.In this world, there is no prophecy in the sky. In the early years of the Yaoyuan era, he obtained the apocalypse from the outer sky and recorded the Buddhist scriptures.

When talking about Three Thousand Worlds and Mount Sumeru, Shen Zhengze will not be sleepy anymore.

Because it probably involves ascension, the modern world he used to live in, and the world of cultivating immortals he lives in now.

Shen Zhengze was full of energy immediately, he was not at all like a person who was haunted by demons, who was wearing a magic lock and a fairy rope.

A bhikkhuni said: "The eminent monk preaching must have escaped from this small world and flew to another world."

"I think so too." Another monk said, "A thousand one worlds make up a small thousand worlds, a thousand small worlds make up a middle world, and a thousand middle worlds make up a great thousand worlds. We have never seen any records in our world. Words such as 'Sakyamuni' and 'Ananda', but the meaning of Buddhism in the Buddhist scriptures is so profound that it is definitely not forged. Therefore, the Buddha must be on Mount Sumeru to understand what happened in all the world."

Shen Zhengze helplessly raised his forehead, thinking: The person who understands everything that happened in "Legend of the Three Realms" is a fake author.

After thinking about it, Shen Zhengze suddenly became cheerful and his eyes lit up.

How did he never think of it!

There are many, many worlds, and he has lived in two.

One of the modern worlds is governed by various laws of physics and mathematics, such as Newton's three laws.But in the cultivation/truth/world/world he lives in now, there are three ways and seven laws.

Thinking in more directions, such as a series of novels by Asimov, the way is the three laws of robotics.

Taking Liu Cixin's "Three-Body Problem" as an example, the way of heaven in this world is the expansion of protons, the law of the dark forest, and the reduction of dimensionality.

A certain Qingyang Pavilion Master and the head of the Beiming Sect from the previous generation, as well as Xie Changhuai, the biological father of the elder brother, they believed in the theory of the ascension of spirits and demons in one body.

Master Jiang Xie believes in the theory that the benevolent loves others, and the sword cultivator is passionate and soars.
