Jiuxiao

The man in white was very handsome, with a little cinnabar between his eyebrows, his black hair was tied into a bun, fixed with a jade hairpin, his clothes fluttered, and he looked like a fairy. Only a string of Buddhist beads on his hand showed his identity.

In fact, a monk may be a Buddhist monk, but a Buddhist monk is not the same as a monk.Among the ancient gods back then, there were quasi-sages such as Bodhi, Doro, King Kong, and Sakyamuni. Although they were not as powerful as Pangu Nuwa, they also belonged to the ancient lineage. In addition, he created the Buddha Heart school. Later, although the ancient gods died out, such as demon cultivators, Taoist cultivators, and Buddhist cultivators have been handed down.

Like the monks in Lingtai Temple who are responsible for entertaining pilgrims, they are just ordinary monks. As for the real Buddhist practice, they cultivate the Buddha's mind, see the nature of the mind, and be in harmony with the light, and do not deliberately pay attention to shaving. precepts.

However, what surprised Zhou Yin was not the identity of this man as a Buddhist cultivator, but that he seemed to be no more than the cultivation level of the early Yuanying stage, even worse than Zhou Chen, but his five senses were so sharp that he could find it all at once. their peeps.

At this moment, the fight between the two had reached a fever pitch, Daoxiu's fly whisk and Buddhaxiu's tin stick were fighting in the air, the outcome was hard to tell, the Buddhaxiu saw the opportunity, suddenly appeared behind Daoxiu, and was about to chop off with his palm.

Suddenly, he was grabbed by a hand.

Shocked and angry, Foxiu turned his head to see the man in white, his face flushed suddenly.

The man in white separated the two of them, and moved his hands to the left and right lightly, like four or two moves of a thousand catties. The two weapons that were still fighting endlessly in mid-air separated instantly and returned to their respective masters.

He clasped his hands together, and the smile on his face was gentle and mellow, making one feel like a spring breeze: "Always practice compassion and get rid of thoughts of resentment. Since it is a competition, you should hold it with a normal mind. Qingchen, you have lost your normal mind. Even if you gain the upper hand for a while, The mood has been lost."

Although he blamed him, his words were kind, like an elder's instructing to a younger generation, and it didn't make people feel that he couldn't listen to it. The Buddhist monk who was mentioned by him really looked ashamed.

"Disciple knows his mistake!" He apologized to the monk who was fighting with him, "I almost fell into a magic barrier, I hope fellow Taoists don't mind."

Daoyou is a title that is universally applicable. The Tao has the Tao, the Buddha has the Buddha's Tao, and the sword also has the Tao. Putting it on different people will naturally have different Taos.

When others beat you, but still apologized to themselves, that Taoist cultivator was naturally humble in a hurry. Others saw it, although they said that they were different and did not conspire with each other, but they couldn't help but feel that the Buddhist cultivators in Lingtai Temple not only cultivated profoundly, but also Peaceful and fair.

The man in white said again: "That's the end of today's discussion. The poor monk will go to the front hall to give a lecture. Anyone who is interested in Taoism can come and listen. If you have any pointers, I would be very grateful."

A Nascent Soul monk is so humble, there are not many in the world, not to mention he is the abbot of a temple, so everyone naturally followed him, including many devout believers.

Seeing this, Zhou Yin and the others naturally already knew the identity of this person.

The abbot of Lingtai Temple, Master Kasyapa.

It is necessary to say here that besides the monks, there are thousands of mortals on the continent of Taichu. The monks are divided into sects, and mortals naturally have their own beliefs. Some people worship the Nuwa Empress, some places worship the water god Gonggong, and In some places, gods such as Bodhi, Doro, Vajra, and Sakyamuni are also placed on altars.

A person's will is a kind of thought power, and the sum of many people's thought power can form a kind of energy. Although it does not exist like spiritual power, this kind of invisible and intangible energy can make a cultivator Benefited a lot.

For example, the effect of a monk practicing in a cemetery with a strong cloudy atmosphere is completely different from that in a quiet and peaceful temple.

For another example, when Shang Xuanzong wanted to establish a sect, why did he choose the Beidou Mountains, which are beautiful and beautiful, surrounded by mountains and rivers, instead of just choosing a plain or wilderness? In addition to the aura of the mountains and rivers, it is also because they are in this environment. , Many people practice together, which can create an atmosphere of energy, so that the sect can be passed on better.

Therefore, after realizing the benefits of the energy generated by this kind of thought power, many monks also began to establish their own influence among mortals.There are some small towns around Shangxuanzong and Tianyanzong. The people are protected by these sects, so they naturally support them sincerely, hoping that the sects can survive for a long time, and even enshrining the portraits of some ancestors in these sects. This can all form a kind of thought power.

For a temple like Lingtai Temple, the more people believe in it and the more people come to offer incense, the more beneficial it will be. Therefore, no matter Buddhist or Taoist, every year some disciples will be sent down the mountain. To talk about Taoism and scriptures is to promote one's own sect's Taoism and let more people believe in them.

Now Kasyapa is following the route of an eminent monk and idol. His style of preaching is very special. He does not quote scriptures like others and say some specious Buddhist gatha, but uses some vivid, interesting, simple and easy-to-understand stories to explain the truth Come, it is fascinating, and many people are fascinated and addicted to it, and immediately regard Master Kasyapa as an idol and become believers.

Just when Lingtai Temple was surrounded and the grand occasion was unprecedented, Zhou Chen sneered silently, pulled Zhou Yin and came out.

He asked Zhou Yin: "Do you see anything wrong?"

Zhou Yin cherishes words like gold: "Eyes."

Even though Kasyapa concealed it well, he looked very gentle, but Zhou Yin noticed that when he looked at those ordinary people and monks, there was a lingering indifference in his eyes, just like the temple. The Buddha statue enshrined here is high above and isolated from the world.

Zhou Chen squeezed his hand: "Do you know who he is?"

Seeing Zhou Yin looking at him, Zhou Chen smiled secretly: "He is the incarnation of Chengming."

Others may not know it, but the appearance of the avatar is [-]% similar to the deity, and there is the aura of the deity on his body. Zhou Chen has inherited the memory of Suzaku from all previous dynasties, so he can recognize it immediately.

Zhou Yin was slightly shocked.

Cheng Ming, this has been mentioned many times by Zhou Chen. He is no stranger to Zhou Yin. He is the most noble existence in the upper world. He is in awe, but when he suddenly hears this name, he will naturally react.

There is a cloud in the ancient books, to become an incarnation, one has to refine the gods to return to the void, and one must have great wisdom and supernatural powers to do it.To put it bluntly, one must cultivate to the level of a celestial being in order to have an incarnation.It should be known that the avatar, as a branch of the main body, is similar to being remotely manipulated by the main body. Naturally, it requires a lot of energy and spirit. More importantly, if the avatar is injured, the main body will also be damaged. Of course, this kind of suffering The degree of damage depends on the cultivation base of the deity and how many primordial spirits he puts on the avatar.

Why did the Emperor of Heaven put an incarnation in Lingtai Temple?

Naturally, it is impossible to be full and have nothing to do.

At this time, the two had already stepped out of Lingtai Temple, far away from the hustle and bustle.

Zhou Chen had been silent just now, but at this moment he suddenly said: "His move is extremely fast."

Without waiting for Zhou Yin to speak, he smiled again: "Not only set eyes and ears in the world, but also take the opportunity to directly absorb the spiritual power of the world through the incarnation, enhance one's own cultivation, and use the status of a Buddhist cultivator to buy people's hearts. Great, the Taoist cultivators around will definitely not be able to sit still, and they can also use this to provoke conflicts between Buddhist cultivators and other sects, causing monks in the world to fight each other, making it impossible to unite against the upper realm, it is really killing three birds with one stone!"

Zhou Yin didn't answer his question, but asked: "His incarnation also has Yuanying cultivation, so what about the deity?"

Zhou Chen said: "Even if this deity is not as good as Pangu Nuwa, I'm afraid I can't go far."

Zhou Yin was silent for a moment: "So it's hard to win."

Zhou Chen shook his head: "Even the ancient gods will fall. In this world, there is no eternal invincible existence. It depends on the right time, place and people."

Zhou Yin said: "Reveal the existence of the avatar to the demons."

Zhou Chen was taken aback, laughed out loud, and gave a thumbs up: "A Yin, your trick is poisonous!"

They can't move the avatar now, because if the avatar dies, although it will cause damage to the deity, the damage is not great. Instead, they will startle the snake and let the emperor know the existence of Zhou Chen, so he will be alert.

For the demons, there is no such concern. The demons also participated in the battle of the fairy and demons. As a result, the spoils were not evenly distributed after the war, and the demons got the least benefits. Give in, now that we know that Chengming's incarnation is here, it's no wonder the demons don't come to make trouble.

Once the Heavenly Emperor focuses on dealing with the demons, and is distracted from dealing with the human world, he will inevitably be lax about the upper world. When the time comes, let Ning Chang pick some things inside, which will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.

Although the visit to Lingtai Temple is peaceful, the rewards are not small.

Having made up his mind, Zhou Chen sent a message to ask someone to handle the matter, while he followed Zhou Yin and continued on the road to Fenglingyuan.

Fengling is famous because the mausoleum of the last emperor of Dongyue Dynasty is buried here. After the war, the mausoleum was destroyed long ago. Later, someone planted many pear trees here. It is a piece of white snow, scattered and fluttering in the wind, so some people call "Fenglingyuan" also "Fengliyuan".

Build a pile of snow on pear blossoms, who will lean on the railing next year.

It has to be said that mountains, rivers, flowers, plants and trees, these natural landscapes are admired not only by literati, but also because of the infinite taste contained in them.A monk, if he is observant enough and has an extraordinary temperament, he can also find many accidents in ordinary things such as the sun, the moon, the sky, the rivers and the earth, which will affect his own cultivation.

Zhou Yin is in such a situation now.

Zhou Chen was the first to notice his abnormality. As the two of them were walking, Zhou Yin suddenly stopped. The sky is bright and far away, and it has obviously entered another realm.

Such a sudden, tempting samadhi is a great opportunity for monks. If they get something, they will jump to a new level from now on. If they don't get something, it will just be the same as before.

But this is also very dangerous, because if he is in an unsafe environment, someone can plot against him anytime, anywhere.

Maybe it was because he subconsciously knew that Zhou Chen was by his side, so he could relax physically and mentally. Zhou Chen naturally understood this truth. He trusted the other party completely, and he was very happy in his heart. He stood by and quietly protected him. realize.

Zhou Yin has indeed entered a very mysterious realm.

There are pear blossoms in front of me, but it seems that they are not pear blossoms.

One by one, withered from the petals, as if still carrying fresh vitality.

From the beginning of life, it is but a seed.

The seeds are irrigated by rain and nourished by the sun to break through the ground and grow up gradually.

However, it has to go through wind and rain, the wind is sometimes so strong that even the trees can be uprooted, and the rain is sometimes so torrential that the trees can be drowned.

In such a test, life, with its tenacious and indestructible strength, grows up in the wind and rain, until the branches are full of flowers, until it becomes a towering tree.

The nectar is collected by the bees, and the petals wither and fall into the soil, which makes life brighter in the coming year.

Some ends are just the beginning of another.

For a while, Zhou Yin seemed to be watching the process of a life from birth to end and then restarted from the perspective of a bystander. The pulsation, the nourishment of the rain, and the sound of flowers blooming became extremely clear at that moment!

He suddenly understood why Cao Muxiu existed in the world.

Every plant and every tree is alive.In the eyes of others, it may be just an insignificant life, the process of going round and round, but in life itself, from the initial conception to the final growth, it already requires infinite wisdom.

What he had realized before was that there is love between the heavens and the human world, but now he suddenly fell into samadhi due to a chance meeting, but it just happened to correspond to his previous understanding, and he had to go a step further.

What is Tao?

Seeing the micro-knowledge, one dry and one prosperous.

He had already bloomed to the extreme, the buds swayed in the wind, and then reluctantly left the branch. When the spring rain came, he was soaked in the soil and gradually melted away, but his heart seemed to become clearer.

In the slow heartbeat of the soil, he felt that he had returned to the very beginning of his life.

Then, slowly, wait for the next spring to break through the ground again.

Dao can be Dao, very Dao, name can be famous, very famous.

The nameless beginning of heaven and earth, the nameless mother of all things.

The beginning of qi without visible form is called Taichu.

Zhou Yin slowly opened his eyes.

It is still in Fenglingyuan, and the pear trees are still there, but it seems that there is something different.

This feeling is very familiar, like the feeling of being promoted to Nascent Soul in the previous life, the feeling of suddenly understanding everything...but it is a little different.

Zhou Chen's laughter came from beside him: "Congratulations, you have reached a higher level of alchemy!"

Advancing the alchemy state does not mean advancing the cultivation base, but the alchemy state is a very important step for the cultivation base to advance. Zhou Yin has a chance now, and the alchemy state has taken a big step forward. After that, he only needs to focus on the physical aspect In terms of cultivation, at least before the late Yuanying period, he no longer needs to temper the alchemy realm, and the efficiency of his cultivation will also increase a lot, which cannot but be said to be a great gain!
