The heavens start with Buddhist disciples

Chapter 32 Nothing is real but still real
"Congratulations, Buddhist friends, on your return from experience!" Quezhou said to Ji Ran, while handing over a cup of tea.

Ji Ran was not polite, took Quezhou's tea and drank it in one gulp.Afterwards, Ji Ran felt like a movie was playing in her mind, scenes and scenes in Chu Liuxiang's world were shown in front of her eyes.

Master Tianfeng's care and love for himself.

Senior brother Wuhua is gentle and teaching to me.

Chu Liuxiang's freedom and wisdom.

Hu Tiehua’s loyalty and tenacity.

Xue Yiren's love and persistence for swords.

The calmness and erudition of Zen Master Tripitaka.

Qin Ge’s passion and change.

The joy and happiness that San Xiao brought to him.

The beauty of Stone Guanyin.

Yuan Suiyun's helplessness and cruelty.

The ambition of Jiang Manhong and his wife.

The cruelty of the Black Fox King.

Finally Ji Ran sighed and said: "Amitabha. I wonder if it is Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou? I wonder if I am real, or is it really me?"

"Nothing is true, and you cannot see the truth."

"If you see the truth, you see the truth."

"If you can have your own truth, you will be true when you are free from falsehood."

"If your heart is not separated from falsehood, where can it be true without truth?"

"Didn't I tell you all the answers at the beginning?" Quezhou said, taking a sip of tea.

Ji Ran chuckled and said: "Ha! That's right.

"If you have a heart, you are true, and if you have a true heart, you are true."

“Without falsehood, there is no truth; without falsehood, there is no truth.”

"So, Buddhist friends, what do you get after reincarnation?" Quezhou asked.

"The path of spiritual practice is high and far, and being down-to-earth is the root. There is no need to plan anything, and there is no need to force anything."

"Be yourself in a world and do what you should do and what you can do. Don't go against your will and do it for yourself." Ji Ran replied.

"Good." Quezhou said, "It seems that after this life, Buddhist friends have indeed acquired the foundation of Buddhism."

"As long as Buddhist friends don't get lost in the future, we should be able to walk together smoothly."

"Oh? Senior, do you mean that you will always walk with me? Or maybe senior once had someone who walked with me, but in the end, he failed to go together." Ji Ran tried again and asked.

"My origins will be shared with you in the future. My experiences will also be shared with you in the future."

"As for my current state, I know that there was a so-called system in the world before Buddhist friends. Buddhist friends only need to regard me as a system elf." Quezhou said still calmly.

"Oh? Is it just a system elf? What does the senior say about the junior's performance in this world?" Ji Ran asked.

At the same time, Ji Ran thought in her heart: "Since I am a system elf, I must not be able to appear in the outside world. I have to confirm whether I can observe the details of each world."

"After all, all gifts have already been marked with a secret price. There is no such thing as love and hate without reason, let alone chance. It's better to be careful."

"I can't understand your experience and story during the training. I can only judge it through the source power value collected by the system."

"Yuanli, you can understand that the power of the source is the basic composition of the chaos of the universe." Quezhou continued: "According to the comparison between the harvest of Buddhist friends in this life and my experience, Buddhist friends should be able to get 75 points, of course It’s 100 points perfect.”

"Originally, the Buddhist friends could get 80 points, but because the Buddhist friends chose to let me help, 5 points were deducted."

"So can I get any rewards? After all, the system will issue rewards to the host." Ji Ran said again.

"Haven't the rewards from the Buddhist friends been used? If I don't take action, the Buddhist friends will not have a chance to live again." Que Zhou said with a smile.

"Quezhou laughed, Quezhou actually laughed. It seems that Quezhou has been the so-called system elf more than once. Under the influence of other hosts, Quezhou has also changed." Ji Ran thought in her mind.

But he said: "Can this be considered a reward? I paid a price of 5 points."

Quezhou said: "Actually, the biggest reward for Buddhist friends is to see me. Because the journey to the heavens is very dangerous, so in order to select the host, usually the host will go through three trial worlds of different difficulty before seeing me. "

"Then why did I see you in the first world, and what kind of difficulty was the trial world I just experienced?" Ji Ran asked.

Quezhou said: "It's the normal difficulty. There are theoretically three thousand system elves like me, but in fact there are not three thousand."

"And the ability of the system is strong or weak. I don't know whether it is luck or misfortune. The system ability of Buddhist friends is relatively strong, so the beginning is normal difficulty."

"Because the Buddhist friends must have collected some treasures in the trial world, they allowed me to wake up in advance, so I was able to meet the Buddhist friends so quickly."

"And then? For example, after a trial mission, should I be able to obtain more system control rights or the system should open up more functions for me, such as storage backpacks, system space, etc." Ji Ran continued to ask.

This is about testing your own special abilities in the future. You have to take it seriously and ask questions clearly.

Que Zhou said: "Unfortunately, the treasures collected by Buddhist friends should be related to time. Therefore, Buddhist friends do not have the ability to obtain system space, but Buddhist friends can affect the time of their arrival in the trial world within a certain range."

"At the same time, because of my awakening, Buddhist friends can get part of the trial world information from me before the next trial mission begins. After all, these low-level worlds have no names, only numbers."

Hearing this sentence, Ji Ran confirmed at least two things:

First, Que Zhou did not know that there were literary works in the world during his lifetime, and the names of these works can usually refer to these worlds.This was also the reason why Ji Ran recognized Quezhou but didn't shout out when they first met.

Furthermore, if Que Zhou knew about the existence of literary works, he should be able to guess that he knew something about him and would not tell me his origin.

Second, your golden finger is related to time and space.It seems that items with these two abilities can enhance one's own cheat ability.

Ji Ran took a sip of tea and said, "Then do I still have to go through two trial worlds? Will my next world be difficult?"

Quezhou said: "You can choose the next world to continue with normal difficulty, but the higher the difficulty of the trial world, the more source power the system collects. The more system capabilities that Buddhist friends can control."

"Similarly Buddhist friends can choose to complete only the remaining difficult trial, or complete the remaining two trial tasks. In short, as long as you complete the difficult trial, you can end the trial period and start the real journey to the heavens ."

"But I would like to remind Buddhist friends that during the trial mission, the true spirit will come to the Buddha friends. After the trial mission is over, the true body will usually come."

"Ji Ran fell into deep thought: "When the real body comes, it will definitely not be possible for Quezhou to save me before, otherwise Quezhou will not need to change the host. "

"So I should accumulate more foundation and knowledge before the real body arrives, so that I can deal with more complex environments in the future."

"Then in the next two worlds, I should choose the more difficult one. After all, there is a chance of trial and error. Also, from the fact that the source power collected is proportional to the difficulty, it can also be concluded that the more difficult the world, the more good things."

So Ji Ran asked: "Then how is the difference between ordinary and difficult? Does the world have a level standard?"

Quezhou nodded and said, "That's a good question. In fact, the levels of the world can be distinguished by the level of practice within the world. What I describe below is a common method of differentiation in the endless sea of ​​chaos in the infinite multiverse."

"But because I practice martial arts, I differentiate them by martial arts."

"The levels are divided into levels one to ten, or one star to ten stars."

"One star is the highest-level cultivator in the world. This is a warrior who has penetrated the twelve main meridians of the whole body or refined the body into the flesh. Some people also call them acquired warriors or flesh-refining warriors."

"The two stars open up the meridians all over the body and can initially draw the power of heaven and earth into the body. It is also called an innate warrior or a blood warrior."

"Three stars, by opening up the two bridges of heaven and earth to communicate with heaven and earth, you can build your own power of heaven and earth, or you can merge with heaven and earth without distinguishing each other. You can be called a great master of heaven and man or a master of bone martial arts."

"Four stars can shatter a thousand worlds. They can temporarily suppress the power of heaven and earth with their own bodies or completely control the power of heaven and earth in a certain area. They can be called Shattering Martial Saints. Some people also call them Land Gods or Marrow Training Martial Saints."

"Five stars, human immortals, take off their mortal bodies, and can cross the sea and sink the river in the middle thousand worlds. The specific cultivation methods are various and it is not convenient to go into details."

"As for the six stars, it is still too far away from Buddhist friends. This star also points out a smooth path for Buddhist friends. Buddhist friends can also refer to it for future trials."

"What is the endless multiverse chaotic sea you mentioned just now? It's such a long name." Ji Ran asked focusing on the point.

"This is even further away from Buddhist friends. If you are not a seven-star Buddhist friend, you will not be able to come into contact with the endless sea of ​​chaos in the infinite multiverse." Que Zhou replied.

"Okay! So it seems that my previous world should be a two-star difficulty, because there is no second bridge between heaven and earth. No, didn't the black fox king pass through the second bridge of heaven and earth?" Ji Ran murmured.

After hearing this, Quezhou said to Ji Ran: "Buddha friends must have gone to a special world. In some special worlds, for some reason, some high-star world fragments will fall into them."

"The black fox king mentioned by Buddhist friends just now, I seem to have heard it mentioned before. It should be a weak and small demon clan that survived after the five-star world was broken."

"My own strength should be at the three-star level. Because there are many treasures in that world, it has attracted special attention. Then the treasures collected by Buddhist friends should be the Wheel of Time, otherwise I would not be able to wake up so early."

Ji Ran clicked his tongue a little. Even the Black Fox King was still weak, but the strength of Samsung was so difficult to deal with.But it is true that with the birth of the Black Fox King, many treasures appeared. I had never heard of these treasures before.

It seems that the existence of the Black Fox King should be similar to the key to a secret realm. When the Black Fox King is unsealed, many secret realms will appear.Or the other way around, many secret realms appeared so the Black Fox King was unsealed.

"Then next time when I travel through the heavens, can I choose the world?" Ji Ran asked Que Zhou.

After pondering for a while, Quezhou said: "Actually, it's difficult for me to influence the world you travel through, but during your trial, you can choose one of several worlds, because the space channel for the arrival of the true spirit is easier to establish.

However, the corresponding Buddhist friends cannot leave with their belongings when the true spirit comes, nor can they choose when to leave.You can only leave after death. "

Ji Ran asked: "If there is a system space, wouldn't it be possible to carry items when the true spirit comes?"

Quezhou said: "Theoretically nothing is impossible, as long as the source power is consumed."

Ji Ran had a dark look on his face, isn't this a krypton gold fee-based service?Ji Ran asked: "Is it based on the number of pieces to be collected, or is it based on other indicators such as quality and volume?"

Que Zhouruo glanced at Ji Ran meaningfully and said, "Then it depends on the future performance of the Buddhist friends and the development level of the system."

"Then the last question." Ji Ran said: "What is the price of time travel? In other words, why did you choose me instead of someone else for time travel."

Que Zhou took a deep look at Ji Ran and said, "Sure enough, the Buddhist friend's character is still good. He has not lost himself because of such a great opportunity. He knows how to choose."

"Traveling does require a price, and the choice of Buddhist friends is just random. Originally, this question should have been asked to Buddhist friends after they completed the difficult trial mission."

"Since Buddhist friends want to know now, I might as well ask."

Quezhou stood up, looked at Ji Ran, and said solemnly: "The opportunity to travel through the heavens is like a loan, paid in advance to the Buddhist friends. Then in the future, when the Buddhist friends become enlightened, they will need the Buddha friends' Taoist fruits in exchange. I don't know if the Buddhist friends Are you willing?"

Ji Ran thought for a while, if he didn't want to, he might lose the chance of this journey to the heavens, and he might even die.If you are willing, the worst thing is that the Tao and Fruit are gone and everything is gone, but at least you have this great journey, right?

So there is nothing to hesitate about. Life passes by a hundred years, and my journey to the heavens may take hundreds of millions of years, and I will make a fortune.

So Ji Ran just kept silent for a while and said, "I am willing!"

Quezhou was also a little surprised. Although Ji Ran's answer could not be said to be without hesitation, it was at least straightforward.

"In view of the positive attitude of Buddhist friends, the system rewards Buddhist friends with a small system space that can be used in future trial tasks." Que Zhou said to Ji Ran with a smile.

"Sure enough, you can only be recognized if you agree to the conditions of exchange. I'm afraid this system is not simple. At least Que Zhou still has earth-shattering martial arts secrets to teach. You still have to be more careful." Ji Ran thought in her heart, but there was a look on her face. Show a happy smile.

Ji Ran looked at Quezhou and said, "Senior, when will my next trial mission start?"

Quezhou said: "You can sort out what you learned in the last world in the waterless ocean first, and it will take some time to capture the appropriate world coordinates and locate the anchor point."

"Then the time here is consistent with the time in the endless and infinite chaotic sea of ​​the universe you mentioned?" Ji Ran asked.

Que Zhou looked at Ji Ran in slight surprise and said: "It seems that Buddhist friends may have their own unique insights into time. The current flow rate of time is one to one. If Buddhist friends need it, it can be adjusted in the future. Of course, adjustment requires charging sources. force."

The Que Zhou in front of him was in stark contrast to the aloof, non-human, and out-of-this-world Que Zhou in Ji Ran's memory.

In the next period of time, Ji Ran first sorted out and summarized his thoughts and insights on Buddhism, and took them to Que Zhou for advice.After all, the Quezhou in Ji Ran's memory was a Buddhist leader who could rival Bodhidharma in that world.This opportunity is not to be missed.

Sure enough, the truth became clearer the more he debated it, and finally Ji Ran summarized the Buddhist teachings he had understood in Chu Liuxiang's world: the three enlightenments of Bodhi, enlightenment, enlightenment, and enlightenment.Maybe the meaning of Sanwu is different from that in Journey to the West, but this is Ji Ran's own understanding.

These are the three realizations in my heart. Maybe there will be a more appropriate and appropriate summary in the future.But at present, Ji Ran feels that it is most accurate to use these three enlightenments to summarize her Buddhist teachings.

After three realizations, Ji Ran also kept asking herself:

What is your original intention?

What is the original intention?

What is the instinct?

I also asked Que Zhou for advice, but Que Zhou’s answer was: “Ask yourself.”

This answer was equivalent to no answer, which really gave Ji Ran a headache. "It seems that my Buddhist practice has come to an end." Ji Ran, who couldn't find the answer for a long time, thought in her mind.

Afterwards, Ji Ran summed up the martial arts he had learned, and selected and sorted out some parts that he felt had a good foundation and would be used by him in the future.

Ji Ran tried to compile his own martial arts scriptures, but unfortunately with limited knowledge, knowledge, and abilities, Ji Ran gave up.The only advantage is that after sorting it out, the memory becomes clearer.

I now understand the principles of some moves more thoroughly.

So Ji Ran first sorted out his swordsmanship. Although his talent for swordsmanship was average, who said he couldn't practice and grow slowly if he was average?I am a person who wants to travel across the heavens and the world, who wouldn’t want to wield a sword and hold the moon in the nine heavens!

Ji Ran decided to use the "Three Styles of Blood Clothes" combined with the Qing Kung Fu learned from Chu Liuxiang as the foundation of his kendo, focusing on fast sword movements, fast body movements, and tricky sword paths.

"Chasing Stars and Walking on the Moon" and "Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng" are the basic and commonly used means of fighting enemies.

To deal with powerful enemies, use the combination of "Nine Forms of Searching for Souls" and "Swordsmanship of Cutting Fragrance", which is very tricky and difficult to defend against.

I have to watch "Three Styles of Blood Clothes" desperately.

Although the martial arts scriptures were not compiled successfully, Ji Ran, who has practiced boxing and fingering for more than 60 years, still compiled his own boxing and fingering techniques.

Based on the Shaolin Divine Fist, it is integrated with many fist and palm secrets, and refers to what Xue Yiren said to him at the beginning: "There are only two kinds of enemies, one is an enemy, and the other is a group of enemies."

In the end, three fists and three fingers were also created, and Ji Ran named it: "Little Samsara Hand".The master of the boxing attack kills in close combat and retreats the enemy sharply from a distance.

At the beginning of reincarnation, he was fierce and unparalleled, crushing all enemies whose punching strength, punching intention, and punching power were not as good as his own.There is no way to fight back.

In the cycle of reincarnation, comprehend the true meaning of emptiness in the prajna palm and the lightness and weight of the finger-twisting finger, and achieve the strength of the fist with emptiness and reality, and the emptiness and reality are seamless, making it impossible for people to fathom the changes.

At the end of reincarnation, things are strange and inexplicable. Combining my own experience of being possessed by the Black Fox King's fox fire and the "Heaven-Destroying Great Soul-Searching Hand" and "Heaven-Destroying Great Purple Yang Hand", I finally reach the point where I can punch out the marrow and refine the blood, which is painful. On and on until death.

"Buddha is the foundation for walking, and martial arts is the foundation for protecting the way. Only by working together can we go further."

After this tidying up and comprehension, Ji Ran can be regarded as shedding the shackles, understanding the way ahead, and restoring her true nature.Wu Zhen's story also comes to an end.

End of this volume!
Stay tuned for the next volume:

Mercy takes the smoke to go back to the plate, and the hero cooks wine with pride.

Duckweed is at a loss for thousands of miles, and the turbulent times of the Spring and Autumn Period are set for war.
