Chapter 139 Laurel and Hibiscus

This year, a blind old monk, holding a green bamboo stick, stepped into the extremely cold place.

With the guidance of the locals, the blind old monk came to the Dabei Temple.

The temple is located on the top of the snow-capped mountain, with heavy snow falling and a thick layer of snow on the ground.

The blind old monk's knees sank into the snow, but he continued to move forward.

A young novice was cleaning the snow in front of the door. When he saw the old monk, he put down his broom and jumped to the old monk.

Although the snow was weak, the little novice stood on the snow, but he didn't sink in the slightest.

"Amitabha, master, quickly enter the temple."

The little novice picked up the old monk, stepped on the snow without a trace, and entered the temple.

Inside the temple, it was still extremely cold. Although the temple was under maintenance, heavy snow continued to fall, and there was already a thin layer of snow on the ground.

The blind old monk said: "Young monk, Changming, who has practiced asceticism for thirty years, came to see the holy monk."

The little novice asked in astonishment: "Where is the holy monk here? Master listened to which benefactor said that there is a holy monk in the Great Compassion Temple?"

"The little monk came from the world of mortals. He saw the world of mortals wishing for the sea, and the world was sinking. He also saw the so-called eminent monks, who used all means to improve themselves."

The blind old monk said: "I have also seen some monks who associate themselves with demons on the grounds of promoting Buddhism."

"Amitabha." The little novice clasped his hands together: "Master has been in the world of mortals for a long time, so he should be an eminent monk, but there is no holy monk in the Great Compassion Temple."

"When I became a Buddhist, Master once told the young monk that monks are merciful. Hearing about the compassion of the Great Compassion Temple, I think there are all holy monks in the temple." The blind old monk said.

"Master, if you are compassionate, you are a holy monk, then the master is also a holy monk." The little novice said.

The blind old monk chuckled, "I don't know the Master's Dharma name?"

"Little monk Fa Neng, ask the master for advice." The little novice clasped his hands together and bowed.

"Young monk is very sad." The blind old monk said.

"Master Miao Bei, please enter the main hall." The little novice walked forward with the help of the blind old monk.

In the temple, some monks came out, some looked at Miao Bei curiously, some wondered how the blind old monk came here by climbing the mountain.

Inside the main hall, three old monks sat cross-legged. The head monk was thin, with a snow-white beard and a red cassock.

Of the other two monks, one was obese, and his big belly was exposed even in heavy snow.

Another monk, thin and long-eared, with white eyebrows, fell down his cheeks.

"Master, the eminent monk Miao Bei came from the world of mortals." The little novice Fa Neng bowed.

As soon as the head old monk raised his hand, a futon appeared on the ground: "Master, please sit down."

"You can't be called the presiding master, the young monk is just an ordinary monk looking for a real master." Miao Bei sat cross-legged.

"Buddhist friends, if you are really an ordinary monk, how can you come to this extreme northern snow field? How can you even climb a thousand-meter snow mountain?"

The obese monk was smiling, kind and kind.

"Heart towards the Buddha." The blind old monk said: "Your monk is free to be blind. I have received my master into Buddhism, listened to the scriptures, traveled around, and asked the name of compassion in the Great Compassion Temple. I am here to visit."

"The Buddhist buddhist friends who are just talented are in front of the door, and they can speak with the Dharma. Come here to find a holy monk?" the long-eared monk said.

"Yes." The blind old monk said: "The name of compassion spreads far and wide, there should be a holy monk here."

"In the eyes of Buddhist friends, what is a holy monk?" said the head host.

"With compassion in mind, you can save the world and help the people. You can be a holy monk." The blind old monk said.

"The buddhist friend, in the world of mortals, is it to save the world and help the people? Is it compassion?" The presiding officer said: "If you haven't done it, how can you find a holy monk? If you can do it, why do you still need to look for a holy monk?"

"The little monk is incompetent, unable to save the world and help the people." The blind old monk shook his head and said, "Although he has a compassionate heart, he has no ability to save the world."

"What Buddhist friends lack is not the ability to cross the world." The host said slowly, "Do Buddhist friends come here for other purposes?"

"Don't dare to hide it, the little monk has been suspicious since a few months ago."

The blind old monk Miao Bei pondered and said: "Young monk suddenly felt that Amitabha created Buddhism and saved all living beings, but the world is still chaotic, who can save all living beings?"

"If we can't cross all sentient beings, how can we Buddhist disciples reach the other side? How can we escape from this world of mortals?"

"I once knelt before the Buddha, and I also asked all living beings how to become a Buddha, but no one could answer the little monk's doubts."

"Thinking about it, only a real holy monk can answer the little monk's doubts, so here comes the little monk."

The host smiled slightly, and said, "Buddhist friends, did you come here just to hear about the compassionate name of the Great Compassion Temple?"

"This is the first, and the second, the little monks in the world of mortals, all they see are monks who pursue profit and promote Buddhism by any means."

The blind old monk said: "And the Great Compassion Temple in the snow is only active in the extreme northern snow region. Although it has the name of compassion, it is only limited to the snow mountains. It seems that it does not want to set foot in the world of mortals."

"In the eyes of Buddhist friends, what is the world of mortals?" asked the obese monk.

"In the middle land, all living beings gather." The blind old monk said.

"There are countless creatures in this vast snow field, isn't it the world of mortals?" The host said, "This world is all dust of mortals, why come from Middle Earth?"

The blind old monk was silent, clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, I'm here to teach you."

"Whether you want to promote the Dharma or stay behind closed doors, you are all practicing. There is no difference between the middle land and the snow-capped mountains."

The long-eared monk said: "Buddhist friends want to reach the other shore, then find their own source."

"Own source?" The blind old monk wondered, "Birth mother and father?"

The long-eared monk sighed, and was about to speak, presided over: "The other side is in the heart, whether you practice in the world of mortals, or practice behind closed doors, you are all practicing your own Buddhism."

"Buddhist friends go out of this door, and the outside world is full of mortals. You can practice in the mortal world, and you can practice with the door closed."

"What you have done to save all sentient beings is not to save yourself. If you persuade others to let go, why not let go of yourself."

"Advise people to come down, put it down by yourself?" The blind old monk murmured, clasping his hands together: "I was taught, I once had a baby in the snow, and now it is fostered by the hunter's house at the foot of the mountain. After the old monk sits down, please preside over it. mercy."

After finishing speaking, the life force of the blind old monk was dimmed, and there was no more life.

A stream of light also quietly left the old monk's body and disappeared into the vast sky.

"Host?" The two monks frowned slightly.

"Amitabha." The host proclaimed the Buddha's name: "Let Dharma go through and bring the baby into the temple."

"Master, this person is not the original body. A ray of remnant soul asked the way of Buddha. His identity is unknown, but the host answered his doubts and adopted the baby he left behind?"

The fat monk said: "The poor monk guessed that this baby must be just a remnant soul."

"The fragmentation of the remnant soul, I don't know if it came from the method of my Great Compassion Temple." The long-eared monk said.

The host smiled slightly and said, "How can a remnant soul learn the method of the Great Compassion Temple? It is destined to be an ordinary monk."

"His body can be learned." The obese monk said: "The Buddha is merciful, but he can't help the wicked."

"Miao Bei's comprehension of the Dharma is also considered profound. It should be some buddhist friend who came here in the incarnation."

The host thought: "If you are a demon, how can you listen to what the old monk said?"

The two monks were silent for a moment, then said: "Follow the host's arrangement."

……

Inside the Taiyin Hall.

A remnant soul merged into Li Changsheng's body and brought it back to the Great Compassion Temple to ask about the Buddha's enlightenment.

"Opening the door is practicing, closing the door is also practicing; cultivating the Buddha in the world of mortals, and avoiding the world is also cultivating the Buddha."

Li Changsheng sighed softly, and said: "The abbot of the Great Compassion Temple is indeed an eminent monk. The world of mortals is fighting for crossing, and all sentient beings cannot be crossed, only oneself is crossed."

Amitabha, who has not saved all sentient beings, is the founder of Buddhism and the Buddha of Buddhism.

Those bodhisattvas, Buddhas, did not save all sentient beings, but they also became Buddhas, molded golden bodies, and worshiped in temples.

There are endless sentient beings in the world, how can it be possible to truly save all sentient beings?

What you do to persuade others to let go, is it not to persuade yourself to let go?

If you are attached to the other shore, how can you really reach the other shore?

Let go of your own attachments, let go of everything, and you will be on the other side of your heart.

Following Li Changsheng's instructions from the chair of digestion, the spirit of Yin in the body is also rapidly solidifying.

His world of mortals, Buddha's voice, and Taoism's voice ceased.

The miniature of the world of mortals also solidified a bit.

After I figured it out, everything became clear, and Dao Yuan increased and condensed accordingly.

The world of mortals is rolling, and the meaning of Buddha is permeating, like a real Buddha, hidden in it.

It's not far from the late Yinshen period!

He left a new remnant soul baby in Dabei Temple. If the monks of Dabei Temple take him in, there will be more gains in the future.

If you don't take it in, that's okay, it's really impossible to get a clone to go there in the future, and find a way to warm up an avatar to go there.

The avatar is easy to detect, but the incarnation is different.

An incarnation is a truly independent living body, almost out of the control of the main body.

Li Changsheng would not do such a thing unless necessary.

No more thinking about it, this promotion made him feel much happier, and he went out to drink with the little eunuchs.

After more than half a year of playing and having fun in the palace, the Taiyin lineage finally sent back new news from the Eastern Continent.

The endless dark aura began to shrink, as if it had been sucked away by some force.

After the dark breath passed, many undead corpses appeared on the ground, and there were also undead who could still move.

The costumes on them are extremely ancient, and there are dragons, birds with the blood of the Phoenix, and demons.

After waiting for nearly three months, the dark atmosphere completely disappeared, and the major forces entered the Eastern Continent again.

They surround and kill the living dead. These dragons and birds are also excellent materials to clean up the dark aura in their bodies.

It can be used as a refining tool, and it can also be used as medicine.

All of a sudden, the major forces dispatched their masters one after another, and they gained a lot.

The siege lasted for two years before all the living dead were eliminated.

In the depths of the Eastern Continent, several figures rushed out. Under the shocked eyes of the various forces, practitioners such as the Tianxin Demon Emperor rushed out of the Eastern Continent and left separately.

For a time, all major forces went crazy.

Before the dark breath erupted, they all withdrew.

Now it seems that Tianxin Yaohuang and others have never come out at all, and have been in the dark atmosphere all the time.

How did they resist the dark breath?
Why is the dark breath erupting, and they are unwilling to come out. Could it be that there are better treasures in it?
What did they get in it?
All of a sudden, all major forces sent people to inquire, wanting to know what the saints and saints experienced inside.

After Xuantian Shengzi returned to Xuantianzong, he announced to retreat.

The Holy Maiden of Heaven and the Holy Son of Huangtian have also entered the state of retreat.

Xia Chengfeng came back with the two princesses, and Li Changsheng asked people to prepare hot water and a banquet.

After the two princesses washed up, they devoured it, completely losing their previous image.

"Your Highness, eat slowly." Li Changsheng said: "Your Highness, what have you experienced? With your strength, you can already eat or drink."

In the past, the banquet was just a formality, and they didn't eat much.

But now, the two princesses are reincarnated like starving ghosts.

Xia Yanbing swallowed the fruit, and said: "Xiaoxuan, you don't know, that place is simply not a place for people to go, we thought we lost our cultivation and turned into mortals."

"I lost my cultivation and turned into a mortal?" Li Changsheng raised his eyebrows.

Xia Mingyue said: "The aura is isolated there, and our cultivation is imprisoned. We can only rely on our physical strength. The Tianxin Demon Emperor is outrageous, and his physical strength is terrifying."

"That's right, the Tianxin Demon Emperor only relied on his physical strength to torture and kill his peers. Without her, we really wouldn't be able to survive."

Xia Yanbing said with lingering fear: "There are living dead everywhere, and there are inheritances and treasures guarded by the living dead. Alas, it's a pity that there are so many strong people."

"Inheritance and treasure?" Li Changsheng raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, those living dead should all be practitioners from the Eastern Continent back then."

Xia Mingyue said: "During the catastrophe, they sealed up the inheritance and treasures, and those living dead are all guarding the inheritance."

Xia Yanbing raised her small face slightly: "Didn't you realize that I have entered the Yin God? Moreover, my blood is already stronger than that of ordinary ancient monsters."

"Congratulations, Your Highness, the little ones are too low to notice." Li Changsheng bowed.

"This is for you." Xia Yanbing opened the storage bag, and took out a book of secret books, as well as a gray stone.

Li Changsheng glanced at the secret books. There are the five elements, the yin and yang, and the wind, rain, thunder and thunder, all of which are profound.

Of course, it can't compare to the Taiyin and Taiyang Dao Meridian of Taixuan's lineage.

But that gray stone, he couldn't see anything strange about it.

"What is the use of this stone?" Li Changsheng asked.

"This stone is the heart of many ancient dragons. After you take it, you should be able to obtain the blood of the dragon and improve your aptitude." Xia Yanbing said.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Li Changsheng bowed deeply.

"His Highness also brought you a gift." Xia Mingyue raised her hand, but there were two half-meter-long branches: "The sun and the sun cannot be passed on to you. These are the branches of the laurel tree and the hibiscus tree."

"Branches of laurel and hibiscus trees?" Li Changsheng looked surprised: "I've searched through ancient books, but I haven't seen any relevant records."

"In ancient times, these two trees disappeared." Xia Mingyue said: "Although they are just branches, they can still stimulate the energy inside if they are warmed by Dao Yuan all the year round. As for re-rooting and sprouting, it is almost impossible."

"It's a pity, two ancient trees." Li Changsheng said regretfully, "It would be great if these two trees could be revived."

"Impossible." Xia Mingyue sighed softly: "In the great calamity of the world, it is already very good to be able to keep two branches."

"The little one must go all out to nourish it, and hope that one day, the power in the branches can be awakened." Li Changsheng said.

"I hope, but it won't be too strong. After so many years, it's almost gone by now." Xia Mingyue said.

If not, she would not have given Li Changsheng the branches of the two ancient trees.
