That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 1081 Passing on the Prajna Diamond Sutra

At that time, Emperor Taizu of Daqi learned so many things that I am afraid that there is no one around him in the world. Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Xuanjiao, witchcraft, martial arts, and swordsmanship have all been dabbled in, and finally belonged to the way of Shinto, forged Immortal golden body, carrying the nine-story mausoleum, Xiaju soars up.

Compared with Xiao Yu, what Xu Beiyou has learned can be said to be extremely specialized. Except for a few magical powers such as Dragon and Tiger Alchemy, Taiyi Splitting Light Sword, and Zhixuan Gong, other magical powers and methods are all from Jianzong, not to mention Jianzong and Daomen. Even if they have the same root and origin, his cultivation base is still within the framework passed down by the Taoist ancestors.

Xu Beiyou never thought that one day he would seek opportunities in Buddhism, and this great opportunity is already in his hands.

This Diamond Sutra was actually written by the Buddha himself. It is rumored that the Emperor Taizu Xiao Yu was lucky enough to obtain a Nanhua Sutra written by the Taoist Zhuangzu, which was of great benefit. Now it is replaced by the fundamental method of Buddhism written by the Buddha. He has reached almost the extreme in the world, and he still feels a long-lost heartbeat.

That is the feeling that swordsmen see exquisite swordsmanship, Confucian scholars see subtle words and great righteousness, generals see rare military books, and calligraphers see peerless copybooks.

As for how Qiuyue took this volume of the Diamond Sutra, which should have belonged to the King Kong Temple, into the Buddhist Sutra Pavilion, and why it was placed on the second floor of the Sutra Pavilion, Qiuyue didn't say, and Xu Beiyou didn't ask either.

It seems that this is a matter of course, and both parties are well aware and tacit.

Qiuyue continued: "Just as the root of Taoism lies in a three thousand-word "Tao Te Ching" of the Taoist ancestor, the root of Shangqing School lies in "Shangqing Dadong Zhenjing", the root of Huayan Sect lies in "Huayan Scripture", and the root of Molun Temple lies in The "Diamond Sutra", the foundation of Zen Buddhism lies in the "Diamond Sutra."

"The twelve volumes of the Tripitaka passed down by the Buddha are really vast."

"From the time of the Sixth Patriarch of Buddhism to the period of Great Chu, great masters emerged in large numbers, who really convinced the Confucian scholar-bureaucrats, took off the slightly derogatory title of 'Western religion', and called it 'Buddhism', which is different from Confucianism and Taoism. Mutual integration and infiltration, and finally formed a pattern of three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism."

"During this process, the Diamond Sutra was established as the root of Buddhism. Tracing back to its root, it came from the Prajna Department of the Twelve Divisions of the Tripitaka. The root of Buddhism is to be liberated by Prajna. There are so-called six perfections in Buddhism, six paramitas, and degrees are also Crossing, paramita means to reach the other shore. The six perfections are six ways to reach the other shore, namely: generosity, precepts, patience, diligence, meditation, and prajna. These six methods are all based on prajna, so , Buddhists regard Prajna as the mother of all dharmas, and the Diamond Sutra is the foundation of Buddhism in the Central Plains.”

"It's just that for more than a thousand years, the Diamond Sutra has been widely circulated, and countless people have recited it. However, the Diamond Sutra was spoken by the Buddha and people with great abilities, so it is difficult for most people to truly understand the true meaning of the Diamond Sutra."

Speaking of this, Qiuyue looked at Xu Beiyou, smiled and said: "I think that Sect Master Xu is a person with great roots, so I am willing to hand over this Diamond Sutra to Sect Master Xu."

Xu Beiyou was stunned, and after a long time he said slowly: "Master Abbot's kindness, Xu is ashamed to accept it, but since Xu is a disciple of the Sword Sect, it is not easy to switch to another sect, let alone worship Master again."

Qiuyue waved her hand and said: "Sect Master Xu thought too much. Letting a Sect Master of the Sword Sect worship under the Buddhist sect, I dare not think so. As for letting Sect Master Xu worship the old monk as a teacher, it is even more nonsense. This scripture is handed down by the Buddha. Next, the original intention of the Buddha is to teach the Dharma to the world, to save the world, so that everyone in the world can become a Buddha. Today, the old monk handed over the Diamond Sutra written by the Buddha himself to the Master Xu, which is equivalent to the Buddha preaching the Dharma himself. This is also the reason why the old monk did not teach it to Sect Master Xu personally, if Sect Master Xu realizes it, it is the merit of the Buddha, and has nothing to do with the old monk and Buddhism."

Xu Beiyou looked down at the slightly yellowed Diamond Sutra in his hand, and remained silent for a long time.

Qiuyue said: "The Diamond Sutra has only 170 words, but the wisdom of Prajna is contained in it, which is no small matter. The old monk and Sect Master Xu can be regarded as close friends now. Forgive me for saying it bluntly. Not good at it, coupled with several battles, the body is already scarred and almost overwhelmed."

Xu Beiyou nodded and said: "What the abbot master said is true, the supreme sword body that Xu cultivated is good at attacking but not good at defending. After several hard battles, there are a lot of injuries and the recovery is very slow. Often the body has not recovered, and it will take another fight. The big battle, so that the wounds add to the wounds, it is difficult to recover."

Qiuyue said slowly: "The most exquisite body cultivation method in the world is nothing more than the Taoist's impeccable body, Xiao's impermeable body, plus the four golden bodies of my Buddhism. There is no distinction between higher and lower. Although Sect Master Xu's supreme sword body is exquisite, it is fundamentally slightly inferior to the above types of physique. After all, the sword sect pays attention to attacking instead of defending. It's just that now Sect Master Xu is mainly an enemy of the Daoist sect, and one day he will even have a fight with the Daoist sect's head master, so is it true that Sect Master Xu is going to drag this sick body to fight Brother Qiuye?"

Hearing this, Xu Beiyou finally stopped hesitating and said sincerely: "Master Meng Fangzhang will not give up, please give me more guidance."

Qiuyue smiled and said: "Buddha's Dharma is broad and profound. Every day there are differences in the details, and each person has their own differences. I dare not say the word "pointing out", but I just read this volume together with Master Xu. As for the Diamond Sutra, if Sect Master Xu doesn’t think the old monk is troublesome, I can also try to explain one or two things by the old monk, and the right is to throw bricks to attract jade and explore the mystery.”

Xu Beiyou and Xiao Zhinan looked at each other, and they already understood.

The reason why Qiuyue is so generous is because the Buddhist sect relies on Jianzong to pick the position of the Taoist sect.In other words, the battle between Xu Beiyou and Qiuye is the most important thing, but in all fairness, Xu Beiyou is not Qiuye's opponent today, even if Xu Beiyou has reached the top of the [-]th Floor of the Earth Immortal and has the world's number one attacker It is still the case to cut down heavy weapons and kill immortals.Just because Qiuye is the realm above the eighteenth floor, it is mysterious and unpredictable. Compared with the realm of the eighteenth floor of the earth fairy, it is like the difference between the realm of the earth fairy and the realm of human immortals. No matter how good the sword fairy is, it is difficult to make up for the huge difference gap.

As for Qiuye's injuries, let's not talk about whether it will affect Qiuye's basic combat power, is there no injury on Xu Beiyou's body?After successive battles, although Xu Beiyou has truly established a reputation that everyone in the world knows, the price he paid is also huge. As Qiuyue said, he is almost overwhelmed. The two wars will lead to an irreversible situation.

If Xu Beiyou was unable to defeat Qiuye, it would be difficult for Qiuyue and the Buddhist sect to do anything else. It was a matter of Buddhist sect's plan. Qiuyue would rather offer Xu Beiyou the Diamond Sutra written by the Buddha himself than to help Xu Beiyou.

As for the so-called chance, to put it bluntly, it is just a whitewash, retaining a bit of the reserve that Buddhism should have.

However, Qiuyue's words can be said to poke at the bottom of Xu Beiyou's heart, scratching the most itchy place in Xu Beiyou's heart, making it impossible for him to refuse.

So Xu Beiyou withdrew his gaze, bowed to Qiuyue, and said in a deep voice, "Then Xu will be disrespectful."
