Chapter 1239 See the world, see all beings, see yourself

Li Yan came to the edge of Hangzhou Bay and looked at the real East China Sea.

There is an idiom in later generations called Duan Ao Li Ji, which is a metaphor for creating a new situation, and it is also a famous myth and legend.

The original version is "Liezi", the dialogue between Yin Tang and Xia Ge, in fact, is to use the mouth of two famous people to talk about the universe, and there is a paragraph in it: "But the world is also a thing, and there is a shortage of things, so in the past Nuwa smelted stones of five colors to make up for its gaps, and cut off the feet of a turtle to set up the four poles."

Later, the legend of Nuwa repairing the sky was filled in, and merged with Gonggong Chushan to form a salvation myth, which became Nuwa smelting five-color stones to mend the sky, beheading the feet of the gods and turtles to support the four poles, leveling the flood and killing beasts, By connecting yin and yang and eliminating adverse qi, all spirits can live in peace.

No matter which version, the turtle seems to be quite miserable.

However, according to the contribution to the world, the divine turtle supported the four poles with its four legs, which is also a boundless merit. Later, it also became a group of people, and even the Sanxian Island was supported on the back of the turtle, becoming a pure land.

It's just that the three fairy islands today are still inhabited by immortals?

When Wukong toppled the ginseng tree and went to the three islands and ten continents to search for immortals and ask for medicine, the three stars of Fu Lu Shou lived on Penglai Island, Emperor Donghua lived on Fangzhang Island, and there were nine elders in Yingzhou.

According to Nine-Headed Insect, when the world was robbed, Donghua Emperor's Cave Mansion on Fangzhang Island was the first to bear the brunt. The fog surged out, and Dongfang Shuo couldn't escape.

The locations of the three islands are not clustered together, but the terrifying impact, the other two islands will certainly not be spared. If they go out to sea to find the immortal islands, will they fall into a trap?
Li Yan pondered for a while. After contacting the ship at the port, he didn't set off in a hurry. Instead, he rented a courtyard, took out herbs, and started refining simple pills.

The medicinal materials are worshiped by the snake spirits of Qingfeng Cave. Whenever monks enter the cave, these spirits will treat them with vegetarian food, and they will also bring local specialties with them as a tribute when they leave.

Monks will not refuse, just like Anuo and Kaye openly asked for personnel when preaching scriptures, these are the rules.

Li Yan accepted it, but he had thought about the refining method early on. Although he didn't have a pill furnace, he had a tricky way. He refined several bottles of pills in a few days and brought them with him.

He made preparations here, and when he came to the port, the big ship was already waiting.

Li Yan, together with other business travelers, boarded the ship, booked his own cabin, and then went to the deck.

The long sail was raised, the sea was rippling, and a familiar voice sounded: "Is this gentleman going to Beizhou for a study tour?"

Li Yan turned his head, and a middle-aged man dressed as a wealthy businessman came to him, bowed his hands and saluted, with a warm smile: "My servant Hu Zongxian, whose name is Ruzhen, sees the gentleman's extraordinary demeanor, and I admire him very much. I take the liberty to bother you, and I hope you will forgive me!"

Li Yan looked at this familiar but unfamiliar person, introduced himself and said, "I have other important matters to go to sea, and I have no plan to go to Beizhou."

"Hu Zongxian" became more respectful after hearing the words: "Could it be that Mr. is a disciple of Buddhism, and went to Fusang to exchange Buddhism?"

Li Yan was noncommittal: "This time is indeed related to practice."

"Hu Zongxian" immediately clasped his hands together, and said with sincere joy: "With the master in charge, this trip will be smooth and smooth!"

"I'm not a master, I'm just a doctor. Now I have found a new patient. It's quite tricky. I want to ask about the customs of various places..."

Li Yan was already used to the treatment of Buddhist cultivators. Now that he met an "acquaintance", he just had a chat and learned about the situation in various countries.

The businessman Hu Zongxian came here to make friends, so he naturally talked about it with a smile.

Unexpectedly, what is reasonable is that not only the monsters eat fast and chant Buddha, but also the countries in Dongsheng Shenzhou are peaceful.

There is also the country of Wa here. Under the normal historical process, the country that almost broke off diplomatic relations with Ming Dynasty sent eminent monks here as envoys to visit again and again.

For the sake of Buddhism, the Ming court lowered its dignity to interact with it, and even used the derogatory name of Wa country. The official written name was Japan, and the more commonly used names were Fusang and Dongying.

In this process, a very important change is that the imperial court withdrew the sea ban and allowed merchants from the two countries to trade, and the coastal areas would no longer be invaded by Japanese pirates.

With the prosperity of trade in various countries, there is an increasing demand, and the shipbuilding industry is developing day by day. There are experienced craftsmen in shipyards all over the country, and even hired Beizhou people who have more sailing experience.

The boats on board at this time were manufactured in this way. The big boats that are rare in Nanzhanbu Prefecture are just ordinary merchant ships here. Four or five boats can set off together to form a long-distance fleet.

Li Yan listened to the route of the voyage, and found that not only arrived at Fusang, but also the distant Beizhou could be replenished all the way. After years of traveling, he couldn't help asking: "What about the storm on the way?"

Not to mention ancient ships, modern large ships are at risk of being wrecked in storms. The Middle Earth Dynasty once thought about attacking the Japanese kingdom, but was buried in the sea due to storms. Kublai Khan’s Mongolian army is a typical example.

As for the current HNA technology, no matter how fast it is progressing, it is the limit to be able to safely reach the country of Japan. If you want to travel across the ocean, it is almost a matter of death.

The businessman Hu Zongxian said with a smile: "Sir, don't worry, as long as we sincerely respect the heavens and worship the Buddha, we will be blessed by the Buddha. Last month, a fleet encountered a storm. Seeing that the big ship was about to capsize, all the crew members prayed and woke up the next day. Everything is as usual, safe and sound."

Li Yan shook his head: "At the moment of life and death, how can there be any sincerity in hugging Buddha's feet temporarily?"

"It is precisely because of their previous disrespect that they will be in such danger. Praying at that time is indeed dishonest..."

The businessman Hu Zongxian didn't think anyone would dare to question the Buddha, but thought that this person was disdainful of those crew members, so he agreed with him deeply, and sighed: "Actually, ordinary people like us also have the heart to practice, but we just sink into the secular world and can't go there. The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss!"

Li Yan said indifferently: "Happiness comes only when there is suffering. If everyone in the world enters the Pure Land, what kind of bliss can there be?"

The businessman Hu Zongxian was stunned: "But my Buddha is merciful and saves all living beings..."

Li Yandao: "Blossoms blooming like brocades, and the fire cooking oil, this is the most peaceful scene I have ever seen, so people in the world still pray for the pure land, it can be seen that the Dharma is flourishing, but it is still difficult to cultivate their hearts after all."

The businessman Hu Zongxian heard something was wrong this time, and frowned slightly: "Sir, do you have a different opinion?"

Li Yandao: "It's just a little pessimistic."

"Since Pangu broke the primordial world and opened up the distinction between clear and turbid, clear and turbid balance, there is heaven and earth. If the turbid qi exceeds the clean qi, the way will eliminate demons and the world will be uneasy. However, if the world's clean qi is rampant, the turbid qi will not Save, that is no longer a scene in the world.”

"However, we are in the human world..."

The businessman Hu Zongxian showed a thoughtful look, his expression changed slightly, and he shook his head after a while: "What you said, sir, is quite Zen-like. It is hard for me, a layman, to understand, but if there is something wrong with the distinction between voicing and turbidity, now It is already peaceful enough, if you want to change it, wouldn't it be to break this peaceful and prosperous world... why is that necessary?"

"You can say these words, it is really different from others."

Li Yan looked at him and smiled, then looked up at the sky: "The cover of floating clouds is temporary, and falsehood can never replace the truth. In the same way, people's minds are settled, and true peace and tranquility are hard to shake by external forces. Don't worry. ... let's go!"

The businessman Hu Zongxian opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing, bowed his hands and went away full of thoughts.

For Li Yan, who has a firm belief and is completely unshakable, it is just a small episode.

In the next few days, the businessman Hu Zongxian visited many times, but Li Yan just recharged his batteries.

Until one night, he suddenly felt a vague fluctuation in the distance.

"Sir! Sir!"

Just when the businessman Hu Zongxian felt a sense of uneasiness and knocked on the door all night, there was no one answering, and a small boat that had been prepared a long time ago landed. Li Yan stood on it, left the fleet, and sailed in that direction at high speed.

Go to Sanxian Island and look for Shenao.

The journey was very smooth. In just one day and one night, a gigantic silhouette appeared on the edge of the sea and sky.

Xiandao has arrived.

Looking from a distance, Li Yan is still not sure which one of Fangzhang, Penglai, and Yingzhou it is, but he already feels like a little turtle.

The island that can't be seen at a glance is alive.

Without any hesitation, Li Yan immediately took out the elixir and took it, pinched the water-avoiding formula, and dived towards the bottom of the sea.

Sure enough, as he dived deeper and deeper, he saw less and less marine life around him, only a colossal coercion became stronger and stronger.

In the end, an invisible barrier appeared in front of him, Li Yan's body was ups and downs in a circle of invisible bubbles, and he solemnly saluted: "I have seen Senior Shen'ao!"

Two giant "lanterns" lit up.

Shen'ao opened his eyes.

Facing such giant beasts, Li Yan couldn't help but hold his breath slightly.

Such an inconceivably large head, unless you see it with your own eyes, is really unimaginable before. No wonder the back shell can support the immortal way, and its ancestor can support the pole of heaven with four legs.

Shen'ao made a rumbling sound, which did not stir up waves, but was heard accurately: "Where is this place?"

Faced with this straightforward question without any nonsense, Li Yan replied: "Dharma is distorted, and the cage is domesticated. It seems peaceful, but in fact there is no self."

Shen'ao said, "Explain in detail!"

Li Yan's tone was heavy: "The turbidity is worse than the cleanness, the demons are evil, the filth is layer upon layer, the cleanness is more than the turbidity, restraining desires, overcorrecting, and the turbidity is out of balance, all are catastrophes in the world, don't go to extremes!"

Shen'ao's huge eyes revealed surprise: "What are you going to do?"

Li Yan categorically said: "Seeing the world, seeing all living beings, and seeing ourselves, in order to seek this way, we should find allies, dispel the fog, make the pure and turbid merge, and restore the balance!"

After Shen'ao was silent for a while, the brilliance flashed violently, but he blinked his eyes, and a palm-sized turtle appeared in front of him: "My brother, I entrust it to you, this world is neither true nor false. Remember, remember!"

　I haven't been in good health for the past few days, sorry for the small amount
