When the devil respects life as a waste
Chapter 82
In his previous life, Shen Zhengze met Xie Lingjun with swords. In order to avoid harming innocent people, he went to the wild land outside the Three Realms, and also went to the Nine Heavens where there are few human beings, but he never reached the Outer Heaven.
Tianwaitian, a place that exists in legends.
Shen Zhengze had seen it in "Biography of Eminent Monks", and just now he heard it mentioned by a monk - where did the Buddhism in this world come from.
It is the monks such as Tan Wuzhen and Kumarajiva who accidentally obtained the Dharma in Tianwaitian above the nine heavens, and recorded the scriptures and handed them down to the world.Most of these Buddhist cultivators who were first preached were born in the early Yaoyuan era, and were recorded in "Biography of Eminent Monks" in the middle and late Yaoyuan era.
Shen Zhengze thought a lot, and when he came back to his senses, the monks started talking about the "five aggregates" again, this time in more detail than a few days ago.
After three days, we talk about the "consciousness" aggregate among the five aggregates.
Some monks who hold Hinayana Buddhism believe that form, feeling, thought, and consciousness include six kinds of "consciousness": eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind.Some monks who hold Mahayana Buddhism also think that there is also the seventh mana consciousness and the eighth alaya consciousness, a total of eight consciousnesses.
Shen Zhengze looked at the host Huiming, wanting to hear the opinions of this Supreme Realm Buddhist cultivator.But after three days, Huiming only listened intently, but never said a word.
The abbot of Huiming's Lingyin Temple, and the monks and novice monks of Lingyin Temple are all Zen disciples.
The "Heart Sutra" in the Seven Classics of Zen Buddhism begins with the words "Contemplating the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva, practicing the deep prajna paramita for a long time, seeing that the five aggregates are empty, and surviving all hardships", and then saying "There is no color in the air, no feelings, thoughts, and actions." Consciousness, no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, no color, sound, fragrance, touch, no vision or even the unconscious world."
The "form, feeling, thought, action and consciousness" mentioned later is in contrast to the "five aggregates" at the beginning.The following five meanings "eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body" and five dharmas "color, sound, fragrance, touch" belong to the "form" aggregate in the five aggregates.
At the beginning, when the monks talked about the aggregate of "color", Huiming didn't open his mouth. Shen Zhengze thought he would leave it until the end.
But three days and three nights passed, and the "knowledge" aggregate was finished, but Huiming remained silent.
Shen Zhengze began to worry for Huiming, and wanted to speak up many times, but when he thought that although he could recite all Buddhist classics, he didn't know much about Buddhism.
If he opened his mouth, wouldn't he be playing tricks?Then shut up.
After more than ten days, when the Fa conference was over, Huiming remained silent, only speaking when he was sending her off.
After listening to the Dharma for more than ten days, Shen Zhengze secretly rejoiced that he hadn't made a fool of himself hastily, otherwise the eminent monks would not underestimate him, and he himself would feel ashamed.
The Fa Conference lasted for ten years. Although Shen Zhengze only listened to it for the last ten days, he also benefited a lot, and his spiritual platform was clear.The demons that had been lingering in his heart before seemed to have disappeared.
Huiming respectfully sent hundreds of monks and nuns, and not long after, he led more than a dozen eminent monks to Shen Zhengze and said, "Master Shen, after discussing with the abbot of Huayan Temple in Yingzhou and the elder of Baima Temple in Nanjiang, I think that There is no solution to the benefactor's demons."
Shen Zhengze's heart trembled, and he subconsciously touched the saber at his waist.
"It's hard work, Master. This disciple is already very grateful for asking Master to help me. I don't dare to ask for more." Shen Zhengze smiled very refreshingly. From his face, it was difficult to see loss or worry.
Just looking at his expression, it seems that the two sides are only talking about the scenery of Lingyin Temple, and it is not a matter of demons at all.
"But..." Huiming spoke slowly.
When Shen Zhengze heard these two words, hope was born in his heart again, and the smile on his face was so sincere.
There was some hesitation on Huiming's calm face, but he still said it out: "The old monk can help the benefactor suppress the inner demon. The benefactor's inner demon seems to have been born with it, and it is a natural demon body. But it is different from the natural demon. Different clans, the benefactor can absorb the five spirits, but can't breathe out the devil energy, it's just the devil in the heart."
When Shen Zhengze heard the words, a flaw finally appeared on his face, and he asked doubtfully, "Have you been born with demons?"
Huiming sighed and nodded in affirmation.
"It is also a good thing to be able to suppress the inner demons. This disciple is very grateful." Shen Zhengze said sincerely.
Huiming then said frankly: "But to suppress the demons, the benefactor needs to be immersed in the spiritual spring at the bottom of the valley, and never leave. In other words, the benefactor may spend the rest of his life at the bottom of the spiritual valley, and once he leaves the demons, he will wreak havoc. So, is the benefactor still willing?"
Shen Zhengze didn't answer right away, he thought over and over again, and replied: "Master, can you allow me to talk to Master, and ask his opinion before replying."
"It's the best." Huiming nodded.
·
At the beginning of July, when the Dharma conference ended, Xie Lingjun stood in the courtyard, silently looking at the green banana leaves.
The Dharma Assembly ended in the morning, and the monks bid farewell one after another at noon.
Xie Lingjun thought about it and almost broke off the banana leaf in his hand. When he came back to his senses, he let go and decided to go to the Fa Conference to find Shen Zhengze.
Before he could take a step, he heard familiar footsteps gradually approaching.
Just like what Wen Huaijin did in Qingyang Pavilion that day, Shen Zhengze also kept his footsteps in Lingyin Temple to ensure that others could hear his whereabouts.
This is an unspoken etiquette.
Xie Lingjun smiled slightly, calmed down, and waited patiently for the other party's arrival.
Shen Zhengze came from the other end of the corridor, and at a glance, he saw a tall and beautiful man in a white shirt standing under the banana leaves in the atrium.
"I have something to tell you and Master." Shen Zhengze walked over and said with a smile.After he finished speaking slowly, he stopped not far from Xie Lingjun.
Seeing Shen Zhengze's refreshing smile, Xie Lingjun couldn't help but lighten up in his heart.
"What did Master Huiming tell you?" Xie Lingjun made a formula and said via voice transmission.
Shen Zhengze smiled but said nothing, he just raised his hand and waved, motioning for Xie Lingjun to come into the room and talk.
Xie Lingjun stepped into the corridor along the path, and stopped at the door of Jiang Xie's room side by side with Shen Zhengze.
Shen Zhengze raised his hand, and gently brushed off the fine ice and snow residues on Xie Lingjun's body.During the process, he held Xie Lingjun's left shoulder with one hand, and moved slowly from top to bottom with the other.Then leaned over, and finally squatted down, dusting off the hem of the white clothes for Xie Lingjun.
Xie Lingjun frowned, looked at Shen Zhengze in surprise, and was afraid that his refusal would hurt the other party's heart.
Shen Zhengze got up a little at last, his handsome and fair cheeks were pressed against Xie Lingjun's waist, and he rubbed them gently.
Xie Lingjun heaved a sigh of relief, lifted Shen Zhengze by the back of his neck, and picked him up.
——He likes Shen Zhengze to be submissive, but he doesn't want him to be humble.He always appreciates the strong.
Before their brothers raised their hands to knock on the door, Jiang Xie opened the door and said to the two, "Come in."
After entering the room, there were only two chairs in the room, Jiang Xie took one, and only one was left.
Shen Zhengze stood in front of Jiang Xie with winking eyes, but did not sit down. Naturally, he wanted to leave the chair to Xie Lingjun, but Xie Lingjun also thought the same way in his heart.
So both of them stood, standing shoulder to shoulder in front of Jiang Xie.
Jiang Xie touched his natal sword, raised his head and asked, "What did Master Huiming say?"
Shen Zhengze pursed his lips, unconsciously raised his hand to touch his hot earlobe, and said with a warm smile: "Zen Master Huiming said that my inner demons have grown in my body since childhood, and said that it cannot be expelled, but can only be suppressed."
Hearing this, Jiang Xie gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, a little surprised: "Why did your inner demon grow in your body since childhood?"
"I don't know either." Shen Zhengze continued to smile.
He thought to himself: I have no problems in my previous life until I was a thousand years old, this is certain.I don't know how there will be demons at this time.
It is impossible for Master Huiming to lie to him, and there is no doubt that he had a demon since he was a child.
This involves the question of why the two worlds are different.
For example, in the previous life, the elder brother lived well when he was more than 1000 years old, why suddenly something went wrong when he was [-] years old in this life.For another example, Xie Ling in the previous life should have died this year, but he worshiped Jiang Xie as his teacher and became Jiang Xie's third disciple.
There are too many differences, and Shen Zhengze's inner demon is just one of them.
Only now did Shen Zhengze finally start thinking about a question - why was he reborn?Under what circumstances will it be reborn?How can we achieve rebirth?
This is no accident!It cannot be returned to God's will.
"Maybe someone has tampered with it." Shen Zhengze said calmly, not wanting to talk about himself at all, "It seems that we may have wrongly blamed Master Cen. He said that I was born with a demon seed, which is really true."
Xie Lingjun reached out and touched Shen Zhengze's head, feeling pity in his heart.
He couldn't help but think about how Shen Zhengze was feeling and what he was thinking at the moment, how could he understate it so lightly.
The more calm Shen Zhengze looked, the more Xie Lingjun couldn't help feeling distressed.
Shen Zhengze first held Xie Lingjun's wrist, then blinked, and then slowly let go.He has already begun to adapt to Xie Lingjun's behavior anytime and anywhere, and he can let the other party go.
Jiang Xie turned a blind eye to their intimacy, and said, "Don't pay attention to Cen Tingyu, hexagram masters are used to pretending to be ghosts and deceiving others. If there is a law of cause and effect, it is not static. What are we people here for? I believe that man can conquer nature.”
Jiang Xie has a bit of a stubborn temper, unlike Jiang Zheng and Wen Huaijin, who are masters and apprentices, who are not considerate of others.
Shen Zhengze knew Jiang Xie's temper very well, and thought that what the other party was going to say to persuade him was the kind that was cold on the outside and hot on the inside.But he never expected that what the other party said was purely a kind of relief, hot on the outside and hot on the inside.
Shen Zhengze almost couldn't hold back his smile, and said movedly: "Thank you, Master, for your enlightenment."
He almost believed what Cen Tingyu said, thinking that he would suffer from cholera in the future, and he was falling into deep self-blame and panic.
Jiang Xie's words dispelled his uneasiness and worries.
Let's not talk about whether Cen Tingyu's calculations are accurate, even if it really meets the law of cause and effect, can it really not be changed?How could he ignore all people and confuse the world?
Jiang Xie's words were a kind of relief to Shen Zhengze, so why not for Xie Lingjun?
"Yes, man can conquer nature." Xie Lingjun repeated softly.
Ever since he had an epiphany on the cold jade bed in Qingyang Pavilion, obtained the apocalypse, and was able to occasionally see cause and effect, he has been thinking about this question from time to time——
The established cause and effect can be changed.
Xie Lingjun was encouraged by Jiang Xie's words at this moment, and believed in words like "man will conquer nature", and it was naturally because his heart had already been tilted.
He is not a character of admitting defeat. After seeing the shocking scene and learning that Wen Huaijin will die, he will definitely want to change instead of accepting the fate given by heaven.
"It will be fine." Xie Lingjun looked down at the magic lines on the back of Shen Zhengze's neck, and said calmly, "Since Master Huiming said that he can suppress your inner demons, it is not impossible..."
Shen Zhengze turned his head and said to Xie Lingjun, "But Master Huiming also said that if I want to suppress my demons, I have to stay in the spring at the foot of Lingshan for the rest of my life."
Shen Zhengze's tone was no longer calm, and finally there was a wave of turmoil.
The slightly urgent words betrayed the mood he was trying to hide.
Obviously, Shen Zhengze didn't listen to the three words "it will be fine", he always thought "it will not be fine".
Xie Lingjun's hand gradually descended from Shen Zhengze's head, across the back of Shen Zhengze's ear and neck, and then quietly retracted it.
"It won't be forever," Xie Lingjun said firmly, "I'm just staying in Lingyin Temple temporarily. You said that if you only rely on the magic lock and the fairy rope, the inner demon can only be suppressed for a hundred years. If you ask the eminent monk to cast a spell, it will definitely be extended .give me 300 years..."
Shen Zhengze smiled and said, "I don't want to fight for 300 years, I just want the day and night."
At this point, Xie Lingjun completely understood what Shen Zhengze meant——
It seemed that the other party was unwilling to stay in Lingyin Temple, preferring to rely on the weak restriction of the magic lock to gain a hundred years of freedom.
"Shen Zhengze!" Xie Lingjun was a little annoyed, "What nonsense are you talking about! You are only 20 years old, and a person like you has ten thousand years to live. You actually told you that you don't want to stay in Lingyin Temple to suppress your inner demons, Don't you only live a hundred..."
Xie Lingjun's voice was a little high at first.Then it got lower and lower, heavier and heavier, and it was too heavy to continue, and it broke in the middle.
Xie Lingjun began to doubt.
Could it be that Shen Zhengze doesn't want to practice Taoism, but thinks it doesn't matter if he cultivates demons?That's why I don't want to stay in the spiritual spring at the bottom of the valley.
Staying at the bottom of Lingshan Valley, Shen Zhengze will be free for the rest of his life, and the world of activities is just a small canyon.And after being enchanted and becoming a demon cultivator, he can come and go freely in the abyss, at least there are all over the world for him to roam.
Xie Lingjun was thinking like this, and he didn't bother to hide it, so he asked directly: "Do you want to be enchanted directly?"
Shen Zhengze was startled, shook his head without thinking, and denied, "Of course not."
He has a vague premonition that 100 years seems a bit generous to him, and he always suspects that he may not last long.
And there are still things waiting for him to do. If he is trapped in the spiritual spring at the bottom of the valley, who will the sleeping senior brother wait for to rescue him?
"Then what do you want?" Xie Lingjun was a little impatient.He realized that he couldn't understand Shen Zhengze again, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"I...I want to be with you..." Shen Zhengze whispered, raising his eyes to stare at Xie Lingjun.
With him, 100 years is enough.Don't dare to ask for more years.
While Shen Zhengze was speaking, all the smiles on his face disappeared unknowingly, and his expression was rather sad.
Xie Lingjun saw it clearly, and was very sad in his heart, but was moved by the other party's affectionate words, and was filled with sadness and joy for a while.
His heart softened, and he also restrained his temper, and said softly: "I said, it will be fine. Give me 300 years, and I will find all the spiritual materials for the potion of 'Cleaning Xuanlan'. I implore Master Huiming Brew it for you. Then, everything will be fine, and you will be cured.”
Jiang Xie remained silent during the period, except for asking questions, he didn't know anything.
At this moment, he interjected: "The medicine of purifying Xuanlan is very difficult to prepare, and the medicinal materials are all over the three realms. With your cultivation level of reading the world, how can you go to the nine heavens and the abyss?"
"I can." Xie Lingjun said firmly.
But he also knew that his own words could not convince Jiang Xie, so he went on to say: "If possible, I would like to ask Master to accompany me to the Nine Heavens and the Abyss to search for medicinal materials. We all have two of the most difficult to find, the Sky Spirit Orb. can always be found.”
Jiang Xie remained silent for a long time. After thinking for a long time, he replied hoarsely, "Okay."
"Master..." Shen Zhengze didn't expect Jiang Xie to agree, so he spoke immediately.
Jiang Xie raised his hand and stopped softly: "You don't need to say any more. Where is Master Huiming? We will go with you to visit him and beg him to cast spells to suppress your inner demons."
Shen Zhengze slapped his left hand on the table and let out a crisp "snap".
"Master... I hope Master will think twice... Now that we are almost... how can we give up halfway..."
Shen Zhengze spoke vaguely, as if he was afraid that Xie Ling would understand.
But inside and outside the words, he and Jiang Xie have a plan, it sounds like they are about to succeed, if Shen Zhengze stays at the bottom in order to suppress the demons, their plan will fall by the wayside.
Xie Lingjun couldn't bear it anymore, and asked directly: "Master, what are you two hiding from me?"
He said "you two", but he asked "Master".It was also because he had asked Shen Zhengze before, and the other party said that he had sworn a heart demon oath. This time he did not ask Shen Zhengze, but Jiang Xie.
"You don't need to know first." Jiang Xie said coldly.
Immediately followed by another sentence: "One day, you will know."
Xie Lingjun laughed "heh", lost his voice for a while, nodded, and said in a low voice: "Okay."
"Let's go." Jiang Xie stood up abruptly, staring at Shen Zhengze, as if he wanted to send Shen Zhengze to Huiming, so that he would be relieved.
Shen Zhengze couldn't laugh at all, his eyes were slightly red, but he just nodded and said, "Okay."
After finishing speaking, he turned and pushed the door out.
The three masters and apprentices walked halfway to the corridor, walked through the atrium from the path, walked out of the laymen's hut, and walked towards the Daxiong Hall.
When Xie Lingjun passed by the verdant plantains in the courtyard, the loss in his heart was beyond words.
Obviously not long ago, he was still standing here, and all he was thinking about was Shen Zhengze.But why after seeing the other party, everything did not go as he wanted, which made him feel a huge setback.
Xie Lingjun was finally convinced of one thing—the thought that he could control Shen Zhengze before was simply an illusion deliberately given to him by the other party.He didn't understand Shen Zhengze, and he couldn't control Shen Zhengze.
Shen Zhengze would gently untie his collar, hold his face and kiss him, and carefully lean over to wipe off the snow on his body, but Shen Zhengze didn't care about himself.
When they came, Xie Lingjun walked side by side with Shen Zhengze.
But now, Xie Lingjun looked at Shen Zhengze's back and thought: You don't take yourself seriously at all.But do you know that I don't want you to have any mistakes?
Thinking of this, Xie Lingjun felt sad.
Xie Lingjun frowned, quite puzzled, and simply stopped thinking about it.
After walking in front of Huiming, Xie Lingjun realized that there were more than a dozen eminent monks standing beside and behind Huiming.
"Amitabha." Huiming clenched the beads in his hand, "Does Master Shen understand?"
Shen Zhengze was very reluctant, but still took a deep breath, and said with a slight smile: "I figured it out, this disciple is willing to stay in the spiritual spring in the valley. As long as the inner demon can be suppressed, does the disciple still care about where to stay?"
"That's good." Huiming lowered his eyes and kept moving the beads with his right hand.
Now that it has been agreed, both sides hurried down the mountain.
The plank road on Lingshan Mountain is very narrow, and naturally more than a dozen mighty people cannot stand side by side, so they followed closely behind and all the way down.
It was snowing on the road, probably due to the beginning of summer, and the ice, snow and cold wind were much weaker than ten days ago.But the feet are frosty and slippery, even if they are monks, everyone must always pay attention to avoid slipping and falling off the cliff.
The journey down the mountain was fast, and although there were many people, it only took eight days.
The closer you get to the foot of Lingshan Mountain, the louder the sound of Lingquan's stirring.When I reached the foot of the mountain, I felt the loud bang of Jiling hitting the rock wall, just like the nine-day black lightning strike.
Xie Lingjun had healed injuries in the Lingquan before, and he knew how difficult it was to stay still in the torrent.He couldn't do it at the time, it was Jiang Xie who supported him.
"Benefactor, please go into the water." Huiming waved his hand.
It is very rare for Shen Zhengze not to shiver in the severe cold weather, but now he has to keep steady in the icy torrent.
"Go down now, disciple." He said as he untied his sword and placed it on the bluestone steps.
Followed by the belt, the outer robe... etc. The jacket and boots were all taken off, and he entered the water with only a pair of obscene trousers.
The Lingquan Waterfall in Qingyang Pavilion is warm, but the torrent in Lingshan Canyon is frighteningly cold.Ordinary running water would have been frozen long ago in such extremely cold weather, but Lingquan is formed by the condensation of spiritual energy and is not restricted by the climate at all.
In other words, no matter how cold it is outside, the torrent will be as cold as it is.
Just as Shen Zhengze dipped his left foot into the water, the bone-piercing cold penetrated into the sole of his foot in an instant, and he continued to swim along the meridians.He gritted his teeth and submerged half of his body in the water.
Xie Lingjun looked at Shen Zhengze's sharp movements and the other party's expressionless expression, the feeling in his heart was hard to express.
A month ago, they had just arrived at Lingyin Temple, and Shen Zhengze slacked off before shaking slightly. If it wasn't for this slack, Xie Lingjun would not have noticed that Shen Zhengze would be cold.
This place is much colder than the cold room in Qingyang Pavilion.
Since Shen Zhengze felt that the cold room was abnormally cold when his inner demons first broke out; it must be even more difficult in the current ice and snow world.
Xie Lingjun wanted to go forward and hold Shen Zhengze's hand, using his spiritual power to warm him up, but he also knew it was impossible.
It was just the beginning, Shen Zhengze was still able to use his spiritual power to keep out the cold, and when the monks chanted sutras and guided the spiritual power to circulate in Shen Zhengze's body, he couldn't even keep out the cold in the end, he had to rely on his physical body to resist.
Both Xie Lingjun and Shen Zhengze were sword cultivators, even if they were stronger than ordinary people, it was because of their spiritual power.Once he lost his spiritual power, Shen Zhengze's absolute strength would be greatly reduced.
Shen Zhengze waved his hands and swam towards the center of the torrent.
The foot of Lingshan Mountain is facing the cliff, which is the top of a small mountain. The two mountains are far apart, at least a few miles away.
By the time Shen Zhengze swam to the center of the two mountains, more than a quarter of an hour had passed.
At this point, Huiming and the monks nodded one after another, and some of them tapped their toes and jumped out.
Most Buddhist cultivators are good at body training and medical skills. If they were standing in the water, with their strong bodies, they would definitely not even blink their eyes, and they would not take it seriously.
They only took one step, and immediately flew several miles away.Within a few breaths, six or seven monks stepped on the rock wall of the opposite cliff.
The soles of the monks on the opposite bank are close to the crags, and their bodies are perpendicular to the steep peaks.During this time, the monks at the foot of Lingshan also stepped on the rocks and dispersed.
The monks corresponded in pairs, and after Huiming said "Amitabha", everyone began to recite the mantra in unison.
Sanskrit sounds echoed in the valley, and the sky was full of golden light.
The swastika heart seal continuously descends from the sky.
Xie Lingjun listened attentively, and his ears were full of "Namosti Sati Susti", "Siddikara", etc. All the monks were chanting Fudoming King's curse.
Looking at Master Huiming again, he was the only one sitting on the rock wall, with his fingertips touching the wall, and the magic seal on his hand.
Amidst all the Sanskrit sounds and Buddha seals, the magic-binding lock nailed to Shen Zhengze's earlobe was slowly loosened.The Binding Demon Lock flew out of Yu Xidui, hovering in mid-air, and the ominous red and black were shrouded in golden light.
Then there was the fairy rope floating loosely on Shen Zhengze's hairband. When the rope left Shen Zhengze's hair, it turned into a white horse and floated behind him, hunting.
The spiritual water flowing eastward stopped one after another, and began to pour into Shen Zhengze's body from all directions.
At that time, Xie Lingjun heard an incomparably shrill howl.
"what--"
Xie Lingjun had never heard Shen Zhengze's screams. Even if the other party was nailed by his sword and his life was hanging by a thread, he just looked at him with burning eyes and never cried out in pain.
This was the first time Xie Lingjun heard Shen Zhengze's call sign.
At the foot of Lingshan, all the original voices will be blocked, only the surging spirits remain, like thunder.Later, when the monks recited the mantra, the Sanskrit sound penetrated the sound of the water and echoed in the valley.
At this moment, Shen Zhengze's constant mournful howling actually overwhelmed these two voices, piercing sharply into Xie Lingjun's heart.
"what--"
With the first sound, there will be the second sound, the third sound, and then continue.
After Fu Mosuo left, the magic pattern began to spread up from Shen Zhengze's obscene pants, climbing along his spine.The magic pattern, which was originally coquettish and magnificent and shaped like a flower on the other side, became distorted and ugly under the influence of the Sanskrit sound and the Buddha seal.
Shen Zhengze is now extremely cold and extremely hot.
The extremely cold spiritual flow poured in from different acupuncture points and circulated along his meridians. This is extremely cold.And the magic patterns were unscrupulously chaotic on his body, climbing unimpeded, it was extremely hot.
The originally unscrupulous and unimpeded magic pattern has encountered huge resistance.After running for several days, the extremely cold spiritual power spewed out, constantly entangled with the magic pattern.
Shen Zhengze could endure extreme cold as well as extreme heat, but finally he couldn't stand the collision of cold and heat.
Xie Lingjun has already begun to feel unbearable, doubting whether his decision is correct.But he also understood that he just couldn't bear it and was just suspicious, and it was absolutely impossible for him to really stop it.
It was evening when they arrived at the foot of the mountain. In the middle of the night, Shen Zhengze was still shouting, but his voice was very hoarse.
Every time Shen Zhengze called out, Xie Lingjun's heart sank an inch, and now it was almost bottomless.
"I'm in so much pain!" Shen Zhengze finally said the first words other than shouting.
Xie Lingjun stood on the shore, the icy running water hitting his boots.
Shen Zhengze turned his head, his eyes were red.He just looked at Xie Lingjun with such a miserable face and such a pair of affectionate eyes.
Shen Zhengze opened his mouth, his voice was drowned in the sound of water and Sanskrit.
His lips fluttered, and after three repetitions, Shen Zhengze stopped talking.
From the movement of Shen Zhengze's lips, Xie Lingjun discerned what the other party wanted to say - I am in pain.
These are the three words that Shen Zhengze wanted to say to Xie Lingjun.
"It will be fine..." Xie Lingjun spoke slowly, his tone full of pity.But his words, like those of Shen Zhengze, were swallowed up by other sounds and failed to reach the ears in the distance.
Shen Zhengze stopped making a sound, and just stared at Xie Lingjun intently.
Half of his black hair floated on the surface of the water, and swayed with the surging water; the other half of his black hair was flying in the air, messy and messy.
"Enough..." Xie Lingjun suddenly thought to himself.
After he realized what he had just thought, he began to fall into deep entanglement.On the one hand, he didn't want to see Shen Zhengze suffer such pain, but on the other hand, he knew that this was the most feasible method at present.
He loves Shen Zhengze, so he doesn't want to let him suffer; but it is precisely because of this heavy love that he understands that only temporary suffering can bring more happiness.
Who hasn't suffered?
Xie Ling didn't know which one was more severe, the monstrous pain that Shen Zhengze was enduring at the moment, or the pain he suffered when he was possessed by other demons?
As the two looked at each other, another half a month passed.
In the past half a month, Shen Zhengze still couldn't adapt, he had already curled up, hugged his legs with his hands, and floated in the torrent.
The spiritual flow never stopped for a moment, it poured into his body continuously, and when resisting the magic pattern, it collided with the magic energy and dissipated continuously.
Spiritual power flows down from Yanggu, while demonic energy is produced from the human body.
It's not just how many dark thoughts Shen Zhengze has in his heart, which accumulates a demonic energy that is difficult to completely eliminate.What's even more strange is that no one noticed something was wrong before the heart-corroding demon Gu was killed and exposed, not even Shen Zhengze himself.
At first, the magic pattern climbed along Shen Zhengze's spine to the back of his neck, and slowly faded to his back under the influence of the magic spell and spiritual power.
And this process took half a month.
The situation in the future became more and more difficult. When the magic pattern retreated to Shen Zhengze's waist, 15 years passed.
One morning, all the monks stopped chanting mantras, sat on the rock wall, and formed the magic seal towards Shen Zhengze.
One after another, the palms of the Buddha fell rapidly from the top of Lingshan Mountain.What I just saw was a golden photoelectric light, which turned into a palm print two miles wide in a blink of an eye, and hit Shen Zhengze violently.
It took another 15 years before the magic pattern was tremblingly put into the obscene pants.
So far, it is the end of Dogen [-]/[-].
On New Year's Eve, the Sanskrit sound finally stopped, but the golden Buddha seal still hung above Shen Zhengze's head, covering him.
The monks stood up, and those on the other side walked along the stone wall, and flew towards the toes of the opposite cliff.Soon, more than ten eminent monks gathered in front of Xie Lingjun.
"Thank you all eminent monks." Xie Lingjun and Jiang Xie said in unison.
Huiming got acquainted with the monks, then turned around and said to Xie Lingjun, "The inner demons are temporarily suppressed, as long as Master Shen doesn't leave the Lingquan, there will be no problem."
Xie Lingjun thought for a while and asked, "If Senior Brother Shen leaves the valley and goes to every continent in the world, how long can the inner demons be suppressed?"
Huiming replied: "No accident, the least is 500 years, and the most is 3000 years."
Xie Lingjun thought for a long time and asked, "Master, can we take Senior Brother Shen away?"
Huiming remained silent.
Seeing Huiming's expression, Xie Lingjun knew that he objected, so he explained: "Master and I want to take Senior Brother Shen together to find medicinal materials in the Three Realms, and prepare a medicine called 'Cleansing Xuanlan' for Senior Brother."
Huiming said, "It's difficult."
"It's really difficult." Xie Lingjun sighed, "But it's not impossible. We already have the Tianling Orb in our hands, and Chang Xiangsi, the master of the Miaoyin Pavilion, has the 'Bingbingnuo'. The two most difficult ones are already in place." , and the rest is just a matter of time."
Huiming looked at Xie Lingjun for a while, then shook his head.
Before Xie Lingjun could react, he heard "click" and "click".He immediately turned his head, and saw more than a dozen iron chains flying out from the rock wall, surrounding Shen Zhengze and locking him up.
"Master, what's the meaning of this?" Xie Lingjun was a little dazed, and his heart was filled with anger.
Huiming only said "Amitabha Buddha" without opening his mouth to explain, and led the eminent monks from other temples behind him to step on the stone steps and hurried back to Lingyin Temple.
Xie Lingjun suddenly felt an urge to catch up to find Huiming's theory, but what's the use of catching up?
If he doesn't use the power of his soul now, he can't beat Huiming at all, and it's useless to catch up.
Jiang Xie pursed his lips tightly, stepped forward and patted Xie Lingjun on the shoulder, and said, "This is a demon-subduing chain forged from nine-day black iron. Without Master Huiming's permission, Shen Zhengze will not be locked up at all."
"I know!" Xie Lingjun suppressed his anger, "I just don't understand. Why did Master Huiming do this?"
Jiang Xie paused, and said softly: "Have you forgotten what Cen Tingyu said? Perhaps Master Huiming also thinks that Shen Zhengze's demons are too dangerous, right?"
Xie Lingjun laughed "heh", walked to the edge of the rock wall, and then punched the rock.
"Then what did he do wrong? Shen Zhengze didn't do anything, why did they lock him up at the bottom of the valley?" Xie Lingjun said indignantly.
"Every man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying jade." Jiang Xie said calmly, "He is only twenty years old, and he is already at the late stage of the World Viewing Realm. He may be able to break through the Vientiane Realm in a few years. And then? At most a hundred years, that is No-self state. Up to a thousand years, you can enter the supreme state."
Xie Lingjun already understood Jiang Xie's implication.
Jiang Xie meant that Shen Zhengze's promotion to the Supreme Realm in the millennium may not even be able to match his strength, so who can stop him from causing harm to the world?
Only by taking precautions before they happen, suppressing Shen Zhengze at the bottom of the Lingshan Valley, and imprisoning him with the Nine Heavens Demon Chain, can people feel at ease.
Xie Lingjun said coldly: "So?"
"I can't figure it out either." Jiang Xie didn't answer Xie Lingjun directly, but said something discouraging.
As soon as these words came out, Xie Lingjun immediately calmed down, and understood that anger is the most useless thing, so he nodded slightly and said: "I understand, thank you for teaching me, Master."
Jiang Xie didn't know where he called Xie Lingjun, but he was willing to see the other party regain his calm.
Xie Lingjun picked up the clothes and sword on the bluestone steps, stepped into the water, and swam towards Shen Zhengze.
Shen Zhengze was shivering from the cold, and when he saw Xie Lingjun coming over, there was finally a gleam of joy in his dull eyes.
"There you are," he said.
Xie Lingjun stopped in front of Shen Zhengze, and saw Shen Zhengze's lips opening and closing, but the other party's voice was too low for him to hear clearly, so he chased after him and asked, "What did you say?"
Shen Zhengze put on a forced smile, opened his mouth and said, "You're here, I'm so happy to see you."
Xie Lingjun didn't hear a word again, his heart sank immediately, he wrapped his long arms around, and embraced Shen Zhengze into his arms.
He put his ear close to Shen Zhengze's mouth, and said softly, "Say it again."
Shen Zhengze pressed against Xie Lingjun's ear, repeated it again, and added "I really want to hug you" at the end.
Xie Lingjun hugged Shen Zhengze fiercely, buried his head in the other's neck, and said in a muffled voice: "Needless to say... I know what you mean..."
After two sentences, I couldn't continue.
Shen Zhengze lost his voice.
Xie Lingjun didn't dare to tell Shen Zhengze about this, so he could only run his right hand along the other's long hair and back, and use his own body temperature and spiritual power to warm him up.
"It's okay. It's okay..." Xie Lingjun murmured.I don't know whether he is comforting Shen Zhengze or comforting himself.
Shen Zhengze lay on Xie Lingjun's shoulders, and because of Xie Lingjun's spiritual power pouring into him to guide him, his body that was originally icy began to warm up gradually.When Xie Lingjun hugged him, he finally felt extremely at ease.
Shen Zhengze smiled silently, without a trace of gloom in his heart.
The two hugged for a long time.
Xie Lingjun waited until Shen Zhengze's body warmed up, and then let go of Shen Zhengze, and said, "Raise your hand."
After Shen Zhengze's stiff face returned to normal, he was able to smile brightly and heartily.With a smile on his face, he nodded and did so.
Xie Ling dressed Shen Zhengze, tied knots and buttons for the other party, and finally patted the soaked clothes, saying: "Okay, dressed neatly."
Shen Zhengze picked up his own
Tianwaitian, a place that exists in legends.
Shen Zhengze had seen it in "Biography of Eminent Monks", and just now he heard it mentioned by a monk - where did the Buddhism in this world come from.
It is the monks such as Tan Wuzhen and Kumarajiva who accidentally obtained the Dharma in Tianwaitian above the nine heavens, and recorded the scriptures and handed them down to the world.Most of these Buddhist cultivators who were first preached were born in the early Yaoyuan era, and were recorded in "Biography of Eminent Monks" in the middle and late Yaoyuan era.
Shen Zhengze thought a lot, and when he came back to his senses, the monks started talking about the "five aggregates" again, this time in more detail than a few days ago.
After three days, we talk about the "consciousness" aggregate among the five aggregates.
Some monks who hold Hinayana Buddhism believe that form, feeling, thought, and consciousness include six kinds of "consciousness": eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind.Some monks who hold Mahayana Buddhism also think that there is also the seventh mana consciousness and the eighth alaya consciousness, a total of eight consciousnesses.
Shen Zhengze looked at the host Huiming, wanting to hear the opinions of this Supreme Realm Buddhist cultivator.But after three days, Huiming only listened intently, but never said a word.
The abbot of Huiming's Lingyin Temple, and the monks and novice monks of Lingyin Temple are all Zen disciples.
The "Heart Sutra" in the Seven Classics of Zen Buddhism begins with the words "Contemplating the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva, practicing the deep prajna paramita for a long time, seeing that the five aggregates are empty, and surviving all hardships", and then saying "There is no color in the air, no feelings, thoughts, and actions." Consciousness, no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, no color, sound, fragrance, touch, no vision or even the unconscious world."
The "form, feeling, thought, action and consciousness" mentioned later is in contrast to the "five aggregates" at the beginning.The following five meanings "eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body" and five dharmas "color, sound, fragrance, touch" belong to the "form" aggregate in the five aggregates.
At the beginning, when the monks talked about the aggregate of "color", Huiming didn't open his mouth. Shen Zhengze thought he would leave it until the end.
But three days and three nights passed, and the "knowledge" aggregate was finished, but Huiming remained silent.
Shen Zhengze began to worry for Huiming, and wanted to speak up many times, but when he thought that although he could recite all Buddhist classics, he didn't know much about Buddhism.
If he opened his mouth, wouldn't he be playing tricks?Then shut up.
After more than ten days, when the Fa conference was over, Huiming remained silent, only speaking when he was sending her off.
After listening to the Dharma for more than ten days, Shen Zhengze secretly rejoiced that he hadn't made a fool of himself hastily, otherwise the eminent monks would not underestimate him, and he himself would feel ashamed.
The Fa Conference lasted for ten years. Although Shen Zhengze only listened to it for the last ten days, he also benefited a lot, and his spiritual platform was clear.The demons that had been lingering in his heart before seemed to have disappeared.
Huiming respectfully sent hundreds of monks and nuns, and not long after, he led more than a dozen eminent monks to Shen Zhengze and said, "Master Shen, after discussing with the abbot of Huayan Temple in Yingzhou and the elder of Baima Temple in Nanjiang, I think that There is no solution to the benefactor's demons."
Shen Zhengze's heart trembled, and he subconsciously touched the saber at his waist.
"It's hard work, Master. This disciple is already very grateful for asking Master to help me. I don't dare to ask for more." Shen Zhengze smiled very refreshingly. From his face, it was difficult to see loss or worry.
Just looking at his expression, it seems that the two sides are only talking about the scenery of Lingyin Temple, and it is not a matter of demons at all.
"But..." Huiming spoke slowly.
When Shen Zhengze heard these two words, hope was born in his heart again, and the smile on his face was so sincere.
There was some hesitation on Huiming's calm face, but he still said it out: "The old monk can help the benefactor suppress the inner demon. The benefactor's inner demon seems to have been born with it, and it is a natural demon body. But it is different from the natural demon. Different clans, the benefactor can absorb the five spirits, but can't breathe out the devil energy, it's just the devil in the heart."
When Shen Zhengze heard the words, a flaw finally appeared on his face, and he asked doubtfully, "Have you been born with demons?"
Huiming sighed and nodded in affirmation.
"It is also a good thing to be able to suppress the inner demons. This disciple is very grateful." Shen Zhengze said sincerely.
Huiming then said frankly: "But to suppress the demons, the benefactor needs to be immersed in the spiritual spring at the bottom of the valley, and never leave. In other words, the benefactor may spend the rest of his life at the bottom of the spiritual valley, and once he leaves the demons, he will wreak havoc. So, is the benefactor still willing?"
Shen Zhengze didn't answer right away, he thought over and over again, and replied: "Master, can you allow me to talk to Master, and ask his opinion before replying."
"It's the best." Huiming nodded.
·
At the beginning of July, when the Dharma conference ended, Xie Lingjun stood in the courtyard, silently looking at the green banana leaves.
The Dharma Assembly ended in the morning, and the monks bid farewell one after another at noon.
Xie Lingjun thought about it and almost broke off the banana leaf in his hand. When he came back to his senses, he let go and decided to go to the Fa Conference to find Shen Zhengze.
Before he could take a step, he heard familiar footsteps gradually approaching.
Just like what Wen Huaijin did in Qingyang Pavilion that day, Shen Zhengze also kept his footsteps in Lingyin Temple to ensure that others could hear his whereabouts.
This is an unspoken etiquette.
Xie Lingjun smiled slightly, calmed down, and waited patiently for the other party's arrival.
Shen Zhengze came from the other end of the corridor, and at a glance, he saw a tall and beautiful man in a white shirt standing under the banana leaves in the atrium.
"I have something to tell you and Master." Shen Zhengze walked over and said with a smile.After he finished speaking slowly, he stopped not far from Xie Lingjun.
Seeing Shen Zhengze's refreshing smile, Xie Lingjun couldn't help but lighten up in his heart.
"What did Master Huiming tell you?" Xie Lingjun made a formula and said via voice transmission.
Shen Zhengze smiled but said nothing, he just raised his hand and waved, motioning for Xie Lingjun to come into the room and talk.
Xie Lingjun stepped into the corridor along the path, and stopped at the door of Jiang Xie's room side by side with Shen Zhengze.
Shen Zhengze raised his hand, and gently brushed off the fine ice and snow residues on Xie Lingjun's body.During the process, he held Xie Lingjun's left shoulder with one hand, and moved slowly from top to bottom with the other.Then leaned over, and finally squatted down, dusting off the hem of the white clothes for Xie Lingjun.
Xie Lingjun frowned, looked at Shen Zhengze in surprise, and was afraid that his refusal would hurt the other party's heart.
Shen Zhengze got up a little at last, his handsome and fair cheeks were pressed against Xie Lingjun's waist, and he rubbed them gently.
Xie Lingjun heaved a sigh of relief, lifted Shen Zhengze by the back of his neck, and picked him up.
——He likes Shen Zhengze to be submissive, but he doesn't want him to be humble.He always appreciates the strong.
Before their brothers raised their hands to knock on the door, Jiang Xie opened the door and said to the two, "Come in."
After entering the room, there were only two chairs in the room, Jiang Xie took one, and only one was left.
Shen Zhengze stood in front of Jiang Xie with winking eyes, but did not sit down. Naturally, he wanted to leave the chair to Xie Lingjun, but Xie Lingjun also thought the same way in his heart.
So both of them stood, standing shoulder to shoulder in front of Jiang Xie.
Jiang Xie touched his natal sword, raised his head and asked, "What did Master Huiming say?"
Shen Zhengze pursed his lips, unconsciously raised his hand to touch his hot earlobe, and said with a warm smile: "Zen Master Huiming said that my inner demons have grown in my body since childhood, and said that it cannot be expelled, but can only be suppressed."
Hearing this, Jiang Xie gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, a little surprised: "Why did your inner demon grow in your body since childhood?"
"I don't know either." Shen Zhengze continued to smile.
He thought to himself: I have no problems in my previous life until I was a thousand years old, this is certain.I don't know how there will be demons at this time.
It is impossible for Master Huiming to lie to him, and there is no doubt that he had a demon since he was a child.
This involves the question of why the two worlds are different.
For example, in the previous life, the elder brother lived well when he was more than 1000 years old, why suddenly something went wrong when he was [-] years old in this life.For another example, Xie Ling in the previous life should have died this year, but he worshiped Jiang Xie as his teacher and became Jiang Xie's third disciple.
There are too many differences, and Shen Zhengze's inner demon is just one of them.
Only now did Shen Zhengze finally start thinking about a question - why was he reborn?Under what circumstances will it be reborn?How can we achieve rebirth?
This is no accident!It cannot be returned to God's will.
"Maybe someone has tampered with it." Shen Zhengze said calmly, not wanting to talk about himself at all, "It seems that we may have wrongly blamed Master Cen. He said that I was born with a demon seed, which is really true."
Xie Lingjun reached out and touched Shen Zhengze's head, feeling pity in his heart.
He couldn't help but think about how Shen Zhengze was feeling and what he was thinking at the moment, how could he understate it so lightly.
The more calm Shen Zhengze looked, the more Xie Lingjun couldn't help feeling distressed.
Shen Zhengze first held Xie Lingjun's wrist, then blinked, and then slowly let go.He has already begun to adapt to Xie Lingjun's behavior anytime and anywhere, and he can let the other party go.
Jiang Xie turned a blind eye to their intimacy, and said, "Don't pay attention to Cen Tingyu, hexagram masters are used to pretending to be ghosts and deceiving others. If there is a law of cause and effect, it is not static. What are we people here for? I believe that man can conquer nature.”
Jiang Xie has a bit of a stubborn temper, unlike Jiang Zheng and Wen Huaijin, who are masters and apprentices, who are not considerate of others.
Shen Zhengze knew Jiang Xie's temper very well, and thought that what the other party was going to say to persuade him was the kind that was cold on the outside and hot on the inside.But he never expected that what the other party said was purely a kind of relief, hot on the outside and hot on the inside.
Shen Zhengze almost couldn't hold back his smile, and said movedly: "Thank you, Master, for your enlightenment."
He almost believed what Cen Tingyu said, thinking that he would suffer from cholera in the future, and he was falling into deep self-blame and panic.
Jiang Xie's words dispelled his uneasiness and worries.
Let's not talk about whether Cen Tingyu's calculations are accurate, even if it really meets the law of cause and effect, can it really not be changed?How could he ignore all people and confuse the world?
Jiang Xie's words were a kind of relief to Shen Zhengze, so why not for Xie Lingjun?
"Yes, man can conquer nature." Xie Lingjun repeated softly.
Ever since he had an epiphany on the cold jade bed in Qingyang Pavilion, obtained the apocalypse, and was able to occasionally see cause and effect, he has been thinking about this question from time to time——
The established cause and effect can be changed.
Xie Lingjun was encouraged by Jiang Xie's words at this moment, and believed in words like "man will conquer nature", and it was naturally because his heart had already been tilted.
He is not a character of admitting defeat. After seeing the shocking scene and learning that Wen Huaijin will die, he will definitely want to change instead of accepting the fate given by heaven.
"It will be fine." Xie Lingjun looked down at the magic lines on the back of Shen Zhengze's neck, and said calmly, "Since Master Huiming said that he can suppress your inner demons, it is not impossible..."
Shen Zhengze turned his head and said to Xie Lingjun, "But Master Huiming also said that if I want to suppress my demons, I have to stay in the spring at the foot of Lingshan for the rest of my life."
Shen Zhengze's tone was no longer calm, and finally there was a wave of turmoil.
The slightly urgent words betrayed the mood he was trying to hide.
Obviously, Shen Zhengze didn't listen to the three words "it will be fine", he always thought "it will not be fine".
Xie Lingjun's hand gradually descended from Shen Zhengze's head, across the back of Shen Zhengze's ear and neck, and then quietly retracted it.
"It won't be forever," Xie Lingjun said firmly, "I'm just staying in Lingyin Temple temporarily. You said that if you only rely on the magic lock and the fairy rope, the inner demon can only be suppressed for a hundred years. If you ask the eminent monk to cast a spell, it will definitely be extended .give me 300 years..."
Shen Zhengze smiled and said, "I don't want to fight for 300 years, I just want the day and night."
At this point, Xie Lingjun completely understood what Shen Zhengze meant——
It seemed that the other party was unwilling to stay in Lingyin Temple, preferring to rely on the weak restriction of the magic lock to gain a hundred years of freedom.
"Shen Zhengze!" Xie Lingjun was a little annoyed, "What nonsense are you talking about! You are only 20 years old, and a person like you has ten thousand years to live. You actually told you that you don't want to stay in Lingyin Temple to suppress your inner demons, Don't you only live a hundred..."
Xie Lingjun's voice was a little high at first.Then it got lower and lower, heavier and heavier, and it was too heavy to continue, and it broke in the middle.
Xie Lingjun began to doubt.
Could it be that Shen Zhengze doesn't want to practice Taoism, but thinks it doesn't matter if he cultivates demons?That's why I don't want to stay in the spiritual spring at the bottom of the valley.
Staying at the bottom of Lingshan Valley, Shen Zhengze will be free for the rest of his life, and the world of activities is just a small canyon.And after being enchanted and becoming a demon cultivator, he can come and go freely in the abyss, at least there are all over the world for him to roam.
Xie Lingjun was thinking like this, and he didn't bother to hide it, so he asked directly: "Do you want to be enchanted directly?"
Shen Zhengze was startled, shook his head without thinking, and denied, "Of course not."
He has a vague premonition that 100 years seems a bit generous to him, and he always suspects that he may not last long.
And there are still things waiting for him to do. If he is trapped in the spiritual spring at the bottom of the valley, who will the sleeping senior brother wait for to rescue him?
"Then what do you want?" Xie Lingjun was a little impatient.He realized that he couldn't understand Shen Zhengze again, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"I...I want to be with you..." Shen Zhengze whispered, raising his eyes to stare at Xie Lingjun.
With him, 100 years is enough.Don't dare to ask for more years.
While Shen Zhengze was speaking, all the smiles on his face disappeared unknowingly, and his expression was rather sad.
Xie Lingjun saw it clearly, and was very sad in his heart, but was moved by the other party's affectionate words, and was filled with sadness and joy for a while.
His heart softened, and he also restrained his temper, and said softly: "I said, it will be fine. Give me 300 years, and I will find all the spiritual materials for the potion of 'Cleaning Xuanlan'. I implore Master Huiming Brew it for you. Then, everything will be fine, and you will be cured.”
Jiang Xie remained silent during the period, except for asking questions, he didn't know anything.
At this moment, he interjected: "The medicine of purifying Xuanlan is very difficult to prepare, and the medicinal materials are all over the three realms. With your cultivation level of reading the world, how can you go to the nine heavens and the abyss?"
"I can." Xie Lingjun said firmly.
But he also knew that his own words could not convince Jiang Xie, so he went on to say: "If possible, I would like to ask Master to accompany me to the Nine Heavens and the Abyss to search for medicinal materials. We all have two of the most difficult to find, the Sky Spirit Orb. can always be found.”
Jiang Xie remained silent for a long time. After thinking for a long time, he replied hoarsely, "Okay."
"Master..." Shen Zhengze didn't expect Jiang Xie to agree, so he spoke immediately.
Jiang Xie raised his hand and stopped softly: "You don't need to say any more. Where is Master Huiming? We will go with you to visit him and beg him to cast spells to suppress your inner demons."
Shen Zhengze slapped his left hand on the table and let out a crisp "snap".
"Master... I hope Master will think twice... Now that we are almost... how can we give up halfway..."
Shen Zhengze spoke vaguely, as if he was afraid that Xie Ling would understand.
But inside and outside the words, he and Jiang Xie have a plan, it sounds like they are about to succeed, if Shen Zhengze stays at the bottom in order to suppress the demons, their plan will fall by the wayside.
Xie Lingjun couldn't bear it anymore, and asked directly: "Master, what are you two hiding from me?"
He said "you two", but he asked "Master".It was also because he had asked Shen Zhengze before, and the other party said that he had sworn a heart demon oath. This time he did not ask Shen Zhengze, but Jiang Xie.
"You don't need to know first." Jiang Xie said coldly.
Immediately followed by another sentence: "One day, you will know."
Xie Lingjun laughed "heh", lost his voice for a while, nodded, and said in a low voice: "Okay."
"Let's go." Jiang Xie stood up abruptly, staring at Shen Zhengze, as if he wanted to send Shen Zhengze to Huiming, so that he would be relieved.
Shen Zhengze couldn't laugh at all, his eyes were slightly red, but he just nodded and said, "Okay."
After finishing speaking, he turned and pushed the door out.
The three masters and apprentices walked halfway to the corridor, walked through the atrium from the path, walked out of the laymen's hut, and walked towards the Daxiong Hall.
When Xie Lingjun passed by the verdant plantains in the courtyard, the loss in his heart was beyond words.
Obviously not long ago, he was still standing here, and all he was thinking about was Shen Zhengze.But why after seeing the other party, everything did not go as he wanted, which made him feel a huge setback.
Xie Lingjun was finally convinced of one thing—the thought that he could control Shen Zhengze before was simply an illusion deliberately given to him by the other party.He didn't understand Shen Zhengze, and he couldn't control Shen Zhengze.
Shen Zhengze would gently untie his collar, hold his face and kiss him, and carefully lean over to wipe off the snow on his body, but Shen Zhengze didn't care about himself.
When they came, Xie Lingjun walked side by side with Shen Zhengze.
But now, Xie Lingjun looked at Shen Zhengze's back and thought: You don't take yourself seriously at all.But do you know that I don't want you to have any mistakes?
Thinking of this, Xie Lingjun felt sad.
Xie Lingjun frowned, quite puzzled, and simply stopped thinking about it.
After walking in front of Huiming, Xie Lingjun realized that there were more than a dozen eminent monks standing beside and behind Huiming.
"Amitabha." Huiming clenched the beads in his hand, "Does Master Shen understand?"
Shen Zhengze was very reluctant, but still took a deep breath, and said with a slight smile: "I figured it out, this disciple is willing to stay in the spiritual spring in the valley. As long as the inner demon can be suppressed, does the disciple still care about where to stay?"
"That's good." Huiming lowered his eyes and kept moving the beads with his right hand.
Now that it has been agreed, both sides hurried down the mountain.
The plank road on Lingshan Mountain is very narrow, and naturally more than a dozen mighty people cannot stand side by side, so they followed closely behind and all the way down.
It was snowing on the road, probably due to the beginning of summer, and the ice, snow and cold wind were much weaker than ten days ago.But the feet are frosty and slippery, even if they are monks, everyone must always pay attention to avoid slipping and falling off the cliff.
The journey down the mountain was fast, and although there were many people, it only took eight days.
The closer you get to the foot of Lingshan Mountain, the louder the sound of Lingquan's stirring.When I reached the foot of the mountain, I felt the loud bang of Jiling hitting the rock wall, just like the nine-day black lightning strike.
Xie Lingjun had healed injuries in the Lingquan before, and he knew how difficult it was to stay still in the torrent.He couldn't do it at the time, it was Jiang Xie who supported him.
"Benefactor, please go into the water." Huiming waved his hand.
It is very rare for Shen Zhengze not to shiver in the severe cold weather, but now he has to keep steady in the icy torrent.
"Go down now, disciple." He said as he untied his sword and placed it on the bluestone steps.
Followed by the belt, the outer robe... etc. The jacket and boots were all taken off, and he entered the water with only a pair of obscene trousers.
The Lingquan Waterfall in Qingyang Pavilion is warm, but the torrent in Lingshan Canyon is frighteningly cold.Ordinary running water would have been frozen long ago in such extremely cold weather, but Lingquan is formed by the condensation of spiritual energy and is not restricted by the climate at all.
In other words, no matter how cold it is outside, the torrent will be as cold as it is.
Just as Shen Zhengze dipped his left foot into the water, the bone-piercing cold penetrated into the sole of his foot in an instant, and he continued to swim along the meridians.He gritted his teeth and submerged half of his body in the water.
Xie Lingjun looked at Shen Zhengze's sharp movements and the other party's expressionless expression, the feeling in his heart was hard to express.
A month ago, they had just arrived at Lingyin Temple, and Shen Zhengze slacked off before shaking slightly. If it wasn't for this slack, Xie Lingjun would not have noticed that Shen Zhengze would be cold.
This place is much colder than the cold room in Qingyang Pavilion.
Since Shen Zhengze felt that the cold room was abnormally cold when his inner demons first broke out; it must be even more difficult in the current ice and snow world.
Xie Lingjun wanted to go forward and hold Shen Zhengze's hand, using his spiritual power to warm him up, but he also knew it was impossible.
It was just the beginning, Shen Zhengze was still able to use his spiritual power to keep out the cold, and when the monks chanted sutras and guided the spiritual power to circulate in Shen Zhengze's body, he couldn't even keep out the cold in the end, he had to rely on his physical body to resist.
Both Xie Lingjun and Shen Zhengze were sword cultivators, even if they were stronger than ordinary people, it was because of their spiritual power.Once he lost his spiritual power, Shen Zhengze's absolute strength would be greatly reduced.
Shen Zhengze waved his hands and swam towards the center of the torrent.
The foot of Lingshan Mountain is facing the cliff, which is the top of a small mountain. The two mountains are far apart, at least a few miles away.
By the time Shen Zhengze swam to the center of the two mountains, more than a quarter of an hour had passed.
At this point, Huiming and the monks nodded one after another, and some of them tapped their toes and jumped out.
Most Buddhist cultivators are good at body training and medical skills. If they were standing in the water, with their strong bodies, they would definitely not even blink their eyes, and they would not take it seriously.
They only took one step, and immediately flew several miles away.Within a few breaths, six or seven monks stepped on the rock wall of the opposite cliff.
The soles of the monks on the opposite bank are close to the crags, and their bodies are perpendicular to the steep peaks.During this time, the monks at the foot of Lingshan also stepped on the rocks and dispersed.
The monks corresponded in pairs, and after Huiming said "Amitabha", everyone began to recite the mantra in unison.
Sanskrit sounds echoed in the valley, and the sky was full of golden light.
The swastika heart seal continuously descends from the sky.
Xie Lingjun listened attentively, and his ears were full of "Namosti Sati Susti", "Siddikara", etc. All the monks were chanting Fudoming King's curse.
Looking at Master Huiming again, he was the only one sitting on the rock wall, with his fingertips touching the wall, and the magic seal on his hand.
Amidst all the Sanskrit sounds and Buddha seals, the magic-binding lock nailed to Shen Zhengze's earlobe was slowly loosened.The Binding Demon Lock flew out of Yu Xidui, hovering in mid-air, and the ominous red and black were shrouded in golden light.
Then there was the fairy rope floating loosely on Shen Zhengze's hairband. When the rope left Shen Zhengze's hair, it turned into a white horse and floated behind him, hunting.
The spiritual water flowing eastward stopped one after another, and began to pour into Shen Zhengze's body from all directions.
At that time, Xie Lingjun heard an incomparably shrill howl.
"what--"
Xie Lingjun had never heard Shen Zhengze's screams. Even if the other party was nailed by his sword and his life was hanging by a thread, he just looked at him with burning eyes and never cried out in pain.
This was the first time Xie Lingjun heard Shen Zhengze's call sign.
At the foot of Lingshan, all the original voices will be blocked, only the surging spirits remain, like thunder.Later, when the monks recited the mantra, the Sanskrit sound penetrated the sound of the water and echoed in the valley.
At this moment, Shen Zhengze's constant mournful howling actually overwhelmed these two voices, piercing sharply into Xie Lingjun's heart.
"what--"
With the first sound, there will be the second sound, the third sound, and then continue.
After Fu Mosuo left, the magic pattern began to spread up from Shen Zhengze's obscene pants, climbing along his spine.The magic pattern, which was originally coquettish and magnificent and shaped like a flower on the other side, became distorted and ugly under the influence of the Sanskrit sound and the Buddha seal.
Shen Zhengze is now extremely cold and extremely hot.
The extremely cold spiritual flow poured in from different acupuncture points and circulated along his meridians. This is extremely cold.And the magic patterns were unscrupulously chaotic on his body, climbing unimpeded, it was extremely hot.
The originally unscrupulous and unimpeded magic pattern has encountered huge resistance.After running for several days, the extremely cold spiritual power spewed out, constantly entangled with the magic pattern.
Shen Zhengze could endure extreme cold as well as extreme heat, but finally he couldn't stand the collision of cold and heat.
Xie Lingjun has already begun to feel unbearable, doubting whether his decision is correct.But he also understood that he just couldn't bear it and was just suspicious, and it was absolutely impossible for him to really stop it.
It was evening when they arrived at the foot of the mountain. In the middle of the night, Shen Zhengze was still shouting, but his voice was very hoarse.
Every time Shen Zhengze called out, Xie Lingjun's heart sank an inch, and now it was almost bottomless.
"I'm in so much pain!" Shen Zhengze finally said the first words other than shouting.
Xie Lingjun stood on the shore, the icy running water hitting his boots.
Shen Zhengze turned his head, his eyes were red.He just looked at Xie Lingjun with such a miserable face and such a pair of affectionate eyes.
Shen Zhengze opened his mouth, his voice was drowned in the sound of water and Sanskrit.
His lips fluttered, and after three repetitions, Shen Zhengze stopped talking.
From the movement of Shen Zhengze's lips, Xie Lingjun discerned what the other party wanted to say - I am in pain.
These are the three words that Shen Zhengze wanted to say to Xie Lingjun.
"It will be fine..." Xie Lingjun spoke slowly, his tone full of pity.But his words, like those of Shen Zhengze, were swallowed up by other sounds and failed to reach the ears in the distance.
Shen Zhengze stopped making a sound, and just stared at Xie Lingjun intently.
Half of his black hair floated on the surface of the water, and swayed with the surging water; the other half of his black hair was flying in the air, messy and messy.
"Enough..." Xie Lingjun suddenly thought to himself.
After he realized what he had just thought, he began to fall into deep entanglement.On the one hand, he didn't want to see Shen Zhengze suffer such pain, but on the other hand, he knew that this was the most feasible method at present.
He loves Shen Zhengze, so he doesn't want to let him suffer; but it is precisely because of this heavy love that he understands that only temporary suffering can bring more happiness.
Who hasn't suffered?
Xie Ling didn't know which one was more severe, the monstrous pain that Shen Zhengze was enduring at the moment, or the pain he suffered when he was possessed by other demons?
As the two looked at each other, another half a month passed.
In the past half a month, Shen Zhengze still couldn't adapt, he had already curled up, hugged his legs with his hands, and floated in the torrent.
The spiritual flow never stopped for a moment, it poured into his body continuously, and when resisting the magic pattern, it collided with the magic energy and dissipated continuously.
Spiritual power flows down from Yanggu, while demonic energy is produced from the human body.
It's not just how many dark thoughts Shen Zhengze has in his heart, which accumulates a demonic energy that is difficult to completely eliminate.What's even more strange is that no one noticed something was wrong before the heart-corroding demon Gu was killed and exposed, not even Shen Zhengze himself.
At first, the magic pattern climbed along Shen Zhengze's spine to the back of his neck, and slowly faded to his back under the influence of the magic spell and spiritual power.
And this process took half a month.
The situation in the future became more and more difficult. When the magic pattern retreated to Shen Zhengze's waist, 15 years passed.
One morning, all the monks stopped chanting mantras, sat on the rock wall, and formed the magic seal towards Shen Zhengze.
One after another, the palms of the Buddha fell rapidly from the top of Lingshan Mountain.What I just saw was a golden photoelectric light, which turned into a palm print two miles wide in a blink of an eye, and hit Shen Zhengze violently.
It took another 15 years before the magic pattern was tremblingly put into the obscene pants.
So far, it is the end of Dogen [-]/[-].
On New Year's Eve, the Sanskrit sound finally stopped, but the golden Buddha seal still hung above Shen Zhengze's head, covering him.
The monks stood up, and those on the other side walked along the stone wall, and flew towards the toes of the opposite cliff.Soon, more than ten eminent monks gathered in front of Xie Lingjun.
"Thank you all eminent monks." Xie Lingjun and Jiang Xie said in unison.
Huiming got acquainted with the monks, then turned around and said to Xie Lingjun, "The inner demons are temporarily suppressed, as long as Master Shen doesn't leave the Lingquan, there will be no problem."
Xie Lingjun thought for a while and asked, "If Senior Brother Shen leaves the valley and goes to every continent in the world, how long can the inner demons be suppressed?"
Huiming replied: "No accident, the least is 500 years, and the most is 3000 years."
Xie Lingjun thought for a long time and asked, "Master, can we take Senior Brother Shen away?"
Huiming remained silent.
Seeing Huiming's expression, Xie Lingjun knew that he objected, so he explained: "Master and I want to take Senior Brother Shen together to find medicinal materials in the Three Realms, and prepare a medicine called 'Cleansing Xuanlan' for Senior Brother."
Huiming said, "It's difficult."
"It's really difficult." Xie Lingjun sighed, "But it's not impossible. We already have the Tianling Orb in our hands, and Chang Xiangsi, the master of the Miaoyin Pavilion, has the 'Bingbingnuo'. The two most difficult ones are already in place." , and the rest is just a matter of time."
Huiming looked at Xie Lingjun for a while, then shook his head.
Before Xie Lingjun could react, he heard "click" and "click".He immediately turned his head, and saw more than a dozen iron chains flying out from the rock wall, surrounding Shen Zhengze and locking him up.
"Master, what's the meaning of this?" Xie Lingjun was a little dazed, and his heart was filled with anger.
Huiming only said "Amitabha Buddha" without opening his mouth to explain, and led the eminent monks from other temples behind him to step on the stone steps and hurried back to Lingyin Temple.
Xie Lingjun suddenly felt an urge to catch up to find Huiming's theory, but what's the use of catching up?
If he doesn't use the power of his soul now, he can't beat Huiming at all, and it's useless to catch up.
Jiang Xie pursed his lips tightly, stepped forward and patted Xie Lingjun on the shoulder, and said, "This is a demon-subduing chain forged from nine-day black iron. Without Master Huiming's permission, Shen Zhengze will not be locked up at all."
"I know!" Xie Lingjun suppressed his anger, "I just don't understand. Why did Master Huiming do this?"
Jiang Xie paused, and said softly: "Have you forgotten what Cen Tingyu said? Perhaps Master Huiming also thinks that Shen Zhengze's demons are too dangerous, right?"
Xie Lingjun laughed "heh", walked to the edge of the rock wall, and then punched the rock.
"Then what did he do wrong? Shen Zhengze didn't do anything, why did they lock him up at the bottom of the valley?" Xie Lingjun said indignantly.
"Every man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying jade." Jiang Xie said calmly, "He is only twenty years old, and he is already at the late stage of the World Viewing Realm. He may be able to break through the Vientiane Realm in a few years. And then? At most a hundred years, that is No-self state. Up to a thousand years, you can enter the supreme state."
Xie Lingjun already understood Jiang Xie's implication.
Jiang Xie meant that Shen Zhengze's promotion to the Supreme Realm in the millennium may not even be able to match his strength, so who can stop him from causing harm to the world?
Only by taking precautions before they happen, suppressing Shen Zhengze at the bottom of the Lingshan Valley, and imprisoning him with the Nine Heavens Demon Chain, can people feel at ease.
Xie Lingjun said coldly: "So?"
"I can't figure it out either." Jiang Xie didn't answer Xie Lingjun directly, but said something discouraging.
As soon as these words came out, Xie Lingjun immediately calmed down, and understood that anger is the most useless thing, so he nodded slightly and said: "I understand, thank you for teaching me, Master."
Jiang Xie didn't know where he called Xie Lingjun, but he was willing to see the other party regain his calm.
Xie Lingjun picked up the clothes and sword on the bluestone steps, stepped into the water, and swam towards Shen Zhengze.
Shen Zhengze was shivering from the cold, and when he saw Xie Lingjun coming over, there was finally a gleam of joy in his dull eyes.
"There you are," he said.
Xie Lingjun stopped in front of Shen Zhengze, and saw Shen Zhengze's lips opening and closing, but the other party's voice was too low for him to hear clearly, so he chased after him and asked, "What did you say?"
Shen Zhengze put on a forced smile, opened his mouth and said, "You're here, I'm so happy to see you."
Xie Lingjun didn't hear a word again, his heart sank immediately, he wrapped his long arms around, and embraced Shen Zhengze into his arms.
He put his ear close to Shen Zhengze's mouth, and said softly, "Say it again."
Shen Zhengze pressed against Xie Lingjun's ear, repeated it again, and added "I really want to hug you" at the end.
Xie Lingjun hugged Shen Zhengze fiercely, buried his head in the other's neck, and said in a muffled voice: "Needless to say... I know what you mean..."
After two sentences, I couldn't continue.
Shen Zhengze lost his voice.
Xie Lingjun didn't dare to tell Shen Zhengze about this, so he could only run his right hand along the other's long hair and back, and use his own body temperature and spiritual power to warm him up.
"It's okay. It's okay..." Xie Lingjun murmured.I don't know whether he is comforting Shen Zhengze or comforting himself.
Shen Zhengze lay on Xie Lingjun's shoulders, and because of Xie Lingjun's spiritual power pouring into him to guide him, his body that was originally icy began to warm up gradually.When Xie Lingjun hugged him, he finally felt extremely at ease.
Shen Zhengze smiled silently, without a trace of gloom in his heart.
The two hugged for a long time.
Xie Lingjun waited until Shen Zhengze's body warmed up, and then let go of Shen Zhengze, and said, "Raise your hand."
After Shen Zhengze's stiff face returned to normal, he was able to smile brightly and heartily.With a smile on his face, he nodded and did so.
Xie Ling dressed Shen Zhengze, tied knots and buttons for the other party, and finally patted the soaked clothes, saying: "Okay, dressed neatly."
Shen Zhengze picked up his own
