Big dreamer

There was a muffled sound of "bang"!

The moment Shen Luo hesitated, the incense burner in Zhan Guo's hand hit Chan'er's head.

However, his body was trembling and his hands were unstable. This time, he did not hit Chan'er's head. Instead, he hit the corner of Chan'er's eyebrows and hit the floor behind him. He bounced up again and fell to the ground. aside.

A cut was made on the corner of Chan'er's eyebrow, and blood mixed with incense ash stained half of his cheek.

Shen Luo's heart tightened, but seeing that Chan'er never frowned during the whole process, she felt relieved again and resisted the urge to push the door open and go in.

After Zhan Guo threw the incense burner, he started smashing things in the house like crazy, knocking down the furnishings one by one. He also tore off all the curtains on the bed and tore them into pieces.

After the room was made a mess, he rushed back, punched and kicked Chan'er, until he was exhausted after a while, and then collapsed on the futon opposite Chan'er again, and gradually became quiet.

Chan'er's face and body were covered with bruises at this time, and half of his cheek was covered in blood. The whole cheek was half clean, half dirty, half pale, and half black, making him look like a hermaphrodite. .

After Zhan Guo finally calmed down, he slowly opened his eyes. There was a faint light in his eyes, which were extremely peaceful, without any trace of blame or anger.

He nodded to Shen Luo, indicating that he was fine, then slowly closed his eyes and continued to recite scriptures.

Shen Luo watched for a while, and when he saw that Zhan Guo no longer continued to be violent, he felt relieved and slowly looked away.

Only this time, he did not continue to meditate, but leaned gently against the door panel and listened quietly to Chan'er reciting scriptures.

Unexpectedly, the wait lasted three days and three nights.

It was not until the evening of the third day that the sound of wooden fish that had lasted for three days in the house finally stopped, and the sound of Chan'er's chanting also stopped. Suddenly, a warm white light appeared in the house, shining through the crack in the door.

Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian immediately approached the crack of the door and looked inside carefully.

I saw Chan'er in the room, his face was as pale as paper, but there was a white light reflected from the clothes on his chest, forming a blurry halo around his body, making his whole body look like a Buddha.

"This is...Buddha's light!" Bai Xiaotian said in surprise.

Shen Luo noticed that Zhan Guo, who was sitting opposite and had his head lowered, suddenly raised his head and pushed back his messy hair with both hands. His face was calm and his eyes were no longer as before. Godless.

He knelt down on the futon and bowed three times to Chan'er.

"Zen Master, this disciple is no longer obsessed with the debate between good and evil, but he still has doubts in his heart. Please ask Zen Master for some explanation." Zhan Guo said with a hoarse voice.

"Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately. The 'butcher's knife' refers not only to the blade that kills evil, but to the obsession attached to the three thousand troubles. The four major elements are empty. What is emptiness? It is not the non-existence of things, but the mind. Only when you truly let go of your obsessions can you truly practice Zen." Chan'er spoke slowly.

"The Zen master is saying that evil people can become Buddhas by letting go of the sin of killing? But if good people don't have the sin of killing, how can they talk about letting go?" Zhan Guo asked again.

"You only see evil people put down the butcher's knife in their hands, but you never see them put down the butcher's knife in their hearts. The evil thoughts are extinguished and the good thoughts arise. This is only the beginning of becoming a Buddha. Carrying evil karma and practicing Buddhahood is only the beginning of hard practice. Good people On the contrary, if you have no bad karma but are obsessed with the consequences, you will become a Buddha once you have enlightenment." Chan'er continued.

After hearing this, Zhan Guo was silent for a long time, and finally bowed to him again.

Afterwards, he stood up from where he was with a radiant face, and walked out of the door with a smile on his face.

The Buddha's light on Chan'er's body in the room gradually converged, but there was a sudden "pop" sound, a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out, and his body fell limply to the ground.

Shen Luo was shocked, rushed into the house, picked up Chan'er, and after careful inspection, his expression calmed down.

"How's it going?" Bai Xiaotian asked hurriedly.

"After all, I was still a mortal. I didn't drink or eat for three days and three nights. I also thought too much and suffered serious internal injuries. Fortunately, it's not serious. I just need to take good care of myself for a while." Shen Luo sighed, said.

…

One day later, Chan'er from the Eastern Tang Dynasty's enlightenment about Zhan Guo quickly spread throughout Chigu City and caused a sensation.

After all, Zhan Guo has a good reputation, and it is difficult to determine the cause and effect of his events. Even an eminent monk like Zen Master Linda cannot explain it.

Zen Master Linda heard that Chan'er was seriously injured and rushed to visit him, but because Chan'er was still sleeping, he could not see him. In the end, he left only a bottle of healing elixir and left.

In the next few days, eminent monks dispatched by many Zen forest monasteries in the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions arrived one after another from all over the country. People from the surrounding cities also trekked and gathered in Chigu City regardless of the distance.

Chigu City, which was already quite lively, suddenly became overcrowded, and everything seemed to be congested.

Forced by helplessness, King Jiao Lianmi had no choice but to issue a royal order requiring people from outer cities and even from foreign countries to stay outside the city-state and not to continue to pour into the city.

At the same time, Zen Master Linda also went to the outside of the city in person to tell everyone that due to the limited area within the city, the venue of the Mahayana Dharma Assembly was placed outside the West City Gate, which has a relatively open area.

As a result, not only the outsiders, but also the people who originally lived in the city began to set up tents outside the city early, waiting for the day when the Dharma Conference would be held, so that they could see the true face of the eminent monks from the Eastern Land and listen to their sermons. personally**.

However, it was not until half a month later that the king issued a proclamation to inform the people. Because there were so many people from all over the world coming to watch the ceremony, there was so much congestion outside the west city gate that the address of the ceremony was temporarily moved westward and completely moved into the desert. .

In just over half a month, the king ordered people to build a wooden platform with a radius of a hundred feet in the desert, on which were built seventy-two lecture platforms with a height of ten feet for three people. Eminent monks from sixteen countries came to the altar to give lectures.

On the day the proclamation was released, tens of thousands of people from all over the world traveled under the stars and at night and moved their tents around the altar. The bonfires lit in the desert at night stretched for more than ten miles, complementing the stars in the night sky.

In the early morning of the next day, the west gate of Chigu City opened. King Jiao Lianmi, together with his queen and several princes, under the urging of two red-robed monks, slowly took off from the gate in a cloud chariot and headed towards the meeting site. The direction should be to fly first.

The monks from the thirty-six countries, each possessing magic power, flew into the sky and followed the king's cloud chariot. The mortal people were also led by the practitioners, either by flying boats or driving magic weapons, and flew by. Walk.

Below, there were a large number of people following, but they could only ride horses and camels, or go on foot.
