I Am Immortal

Chapter 555: Scholars (please vote for the third update)

This person's arrival seems to be silent and invisible to all living beings, no matter whether he is talented or intelligent like Li Qiongyu.

In other words, at this moment, Li Weifeng, who was carrying the destiny of the Human Emperor and the one with the greatest destiny in the human world, did not even notice the arrival of this person. He never looked sideways or stopped, as if he was not a living being, so it was difficult to see his face with his eyes. Arriving, only Qi Wuhuo raised his eyes and saw the majestic destiny in the world, coming in a mighty way.

He opened his mouth to invite him and said, "I have friends coming from afar. Please come in."

The man opened the door and came in. He was a not very tall man with messy hair, wearing common clothes, and bare feet. His body was dusty and messy, but his brows were calm, and his eyes had a look of a lot of experience. Calmness after the incident.

It was the golden cicada in front of the Buddha that I had not seen again for more than ten years.

 I don’t know why I came to look for this Taoist.

Qi Wuzhuo didn't seem surprised. He poured a cup of tea for Jin Chan, and then invited him to sit down. His brows were calm, and Jin Chan, who was more determined than before, sat in front of the Taoist. One Buddha after another, he was silent. For a long time, Jin Chan looked at the older Taoist in front of him and said:

“Taoist Priest, why don’t you ask this poor monk where you have been in the past ten years?”

The Taoist replied: "I think you came to find me just to continue our discussion, right?"

The monk smiled slightly and said calmly: "No, that's not the case."

"The poor monk came here just to tell me about my experience after Taoist Master and I parted ways. There is no need to discuss the real Buddha Dharma and the real Tao. Such a real and harmonious existence will naturally manifest itself to you. In my case, why do I need to use verbal embellishments and techniques to argue about what is right and what is wrong?"

 “Let the poor monk talk about what I have experienced.”

Jin Chan opened his mouth to talk about his experience.

Back then, after Qi Wuzhuo intercepted Jin Chan, he talked about the Three Vehicles of Buddhism. Originally, with Jin Chan's experience and Taoism, even Qi Wuzhuo wanted to refute him in a short time, but in that state Qi Wuhuo has just stepped into the realm of Yuqing for the first time, and is one with heaven and earth.

Then the golden cicada in front of the majestic Buddha was defeated.

 There is a crack in the Buddha’s heart.

After running for tens of thousands of miles, the anxiety and boredom in my heart finally slowly calmed down.

His experience is not false, and his Buddhist practice is not false either.

 He did not believe what Qi Wuhuo said.

At least, he didn't completely believe it, but he couldn't deny that what the Taoist said made sense, so he made a new decision after sitting cross-legged on the top of the mountain for dozens of days - he wanted to do it himself Go give it a try.

 Don’t easily accept other people’s reasoning.

　　Nor can we rest on our laurels and not accept the correctness of others.

 The golden cicada in front of the Buddha should naturally have such a mind.

So he concealed his own strength and gave up many magical powers that showed Buddhism. Instead, he measured the earth with his feet, hid his cultivation, walked in this magnificent era, and realized the joys and sorrows of ordinary people, and then left. Without the many embellishments of Buddhism, we only use the simplest Buddhist principles to explain them.

He once turned away evil spirits and made people repent.

 He awakened the conscience of a son who wanted to kill his father and mother, and once brought a child who was bullied by his relatives out of a dangerous place.

He has been walking around the world for more than ten years and has seen the shining side of the minds of countless ordinary people who used to think that apart from chanting sutras, they had no other mystical powers. Therefore, he saw the possibility of Buddhism in the minds of ordinary people. Therefore, he knew that Buddha Reason is the core of transcending all sentient beings.

 Principle is Buddha, not simply belief.

When talking about these, the monk's expression was compassionate and gentle, and what shone in his eyes was the light of humanity, rather than a simple Buddha who was transcended above the common people as believed by the Buddhists of this era. Sex is not the wild nature of the once supreme ancient ferocious beast Jin Chan.

 When he talks about Buddhism and Dharma lineage.

One of the nine stone tablets naturally glowed with light, and people discovered that there were vague words on it. These words removed many mysterious and pretentious things, leaving only simple principles and concepts of practice. And endless joy.

Once the fierce beast, the golden cicada in front of the Buddha, unknowingly, has entered the luck of the world.

That Yuqing seed rippled, stretching its body and branches and leaves, as if it was carrying the weight of the Dharma. It was not overwhelmed by the weight, but continued to spread and stretch.

People are looking forward to seeing the words emerging from one of the nine stone tablets confirmed.

 But at this time, he suddenly paused.

 The spreading branches and leaves are stagnant.

The eaves of the storage room were raised, and the bronze bells under the eaves had been ringing, cheering, and jumping for joy, but now they became quiet again. After the monk finished telling his experience and understanding, he added:

"The poor monk has also proven with his own actions that the mystery of Buddhism does not lie in the many rules and precepts of the sect, nor in the chanting of the Buddhas, but in the mysterious principle itself. This way Principle is separated from the Buddhas, but it still has the great power to save all sentient beings."

"but-"

He paused and said: "The poor monk is really curious and wants to know whether the Buddha Dharma is the one in the house with boundless magical power. It can not only save ordinary people, even those who have fallen into the world, and the seeds of all kinds of evil." People can also be liberated by Buddhism."

The Taoist saw a hint of triumph and wantonness in the eyes of this determined monk.

I know that the golden cicada walks in front of the Buddha, imparts various Dharma, and saves the common people. In fact, what he does is not to save the common people itself, but to try whether his own Dharma is right or wrong, because now it has been proved that his Dharma can indeed be used without any need. Being bound by the 17 channels of Buddhism, he is complacent and frivolous.

The Taoist spoke for the first time: "What do you want to continue doing?"

 The monk said: "Of course I will continue to practice Buddhism!"

He stretched out his palm, put his five fingers together, and faced the sky with his palm. The other hand stood upright in front of him and said: "What I saved before was just the suffering of ordinary good people; but I save the people." At that time, the poor monk still had supreme cultivation, but he had never truly understood the profound meaning of Buddha."

“Now, I can only cultivate this body to go out to persecute; and go forward to find evil people and overcome all suffering.”

 “The danger of the sword has been seen.”

“Now is the time to witness the dangers of the human heart, and see if, with the infinite mysteries of my Dharma, I can overcome these evils and prove the immeasurable power of the Dharma!”

Hearing these words, the black-robed Taoist saw the arrogance in the monk's eyebrows, so he said: "With the level of Taoist friends, there is no need to be like this."

“Otherwise, how can we prove that Buddha Dharma is immeasurable!?”

“My fellow Taoist, this trip is to test the darkest and darkest parts of human nature, and you may encounter backlash.”

So the monk laughed loudly, clasped his hands together, and with a firm divine light in his eyes, without any hesitation, he said: "If this can allow the poor monk to see the limits of Buddhism, then aren't these so-called backlashes also a practice of practicing Buddhism?" Is it a necessary experience to practice Buddhism?”

 The golden cicada in front of the Buddha forced out his cultivation and turned it into a round and flawless relic.

 Stay here with Qi Wuhuo for the time being.

Before leaving, the monk asked the Taoist: "Do you think this poor monk will regret it?"

“Or should I still do this with this intention and practice the immeasurable Dharma?”

The Taoist just said: "I don't know either, but since Taoist friends have such a Buddhist heart, it is not a wrong thing to go to the human world to practice it." He raised his head and looked at the destiny of humanity and said: "Now Just like the sun has just risen, there is still a long way to go before it reaches its peak, Pindao will be here waiting for you to come back."

 There is a golden cicada in front of the Buddha. The Buddha's heart is firm, but after all, he still has the wildness of the ancient ferocious beast. He said:

 “A poor monk will never regret or look back.”

Qi Wuhuo held up the Buddhist relic in his hand, looked at the monk in front of him who had used all his power to practice Buddhism, and said: "Then, this relic, Pindao will I keep it for you, more than ten years later, when you come back from walking around the world again, you and I will talk about it again."

"good!"

"I have three great aspirations for this trip. The worst evils of human nature are greed for money, love for killing, and lust."

“Although the poor monk has no magical power, he can still change these things by relying on the Dharma and Dharma principles.”

 The monk, who had lost all his cultivation, embarked on his journey again.

This time, he went to a place where the two countries in the world have not yet been unified.

That is the area where the conflicts in the human world are most intense now.

The remnants of dignitaries from various countries, the violent and murderous outlaws, and bandits all gathered here. The good and evil of human nature were demonstrated in a way that was not seen in other eras. This monk walked step by step, Arriving at a city between the two countries.

 He searched for a long time, and finally the monk found the person he wanted to convert. This is a city ruled by evil people, and the entire city is caught in various whirlpools.

 He made a thief who had been stealing all his life give up stealing other people's property.

 Let a villain who kills and fights give up using force to harm others.

The golden cicada in front of the Buddha felt more and more that the Dharma was immeasurable, and as the true body of the monster beast, he also developed great arrogance. He was not trying to change anything, but to prove the immeasurable power of the Dharma. In order to try the good and evil of these people, he fulfilled his ambition twice, and finally-

 The monk came to the brothel.

 Here are the most attractive women in the country.

  She is also the most dangerous woman.

The courtesan who is as beautiful as any and as gorgeous as a poisonous snake can sleep with a man who meets her requirements and have fun, but she doesn't want gold, silver, or jewels. After spending the night together, she will cut off one of the man's fingers. for punishment.

Even so, because of her beauty, there are still men willing to be her servants.

The lord of this city only has three fingers left.

 The proud monk chose his target.

 He wants to save this beautiful and dangerous woman.

  ………

Time passed slowly. After the monk transformed into a golden cicada in front of the Buddha left, the aura on the stone tablet also dispersed. After all, it did not take shape, and the saplings with Yuqing aura had not fully stretched out. Qi Wu was confused. Got a piece of news.

 The reincarnation of Medicine Master Glazed Light Tathagata did not practice Buddhism.

He has gradually grown up and turned into a filial, serious and kind-hearted young man. At the same age as Qiu, he chose to follow his parents' expectations, go to school, cultivate and inherit the family, and made an engagement with his childhood sweetheart. .

 Qi Wuhuo was invited to participate in their engagement.

The elegant master in black robe met the reincarnation of the seventeen-year-old Medicine Master Glazed Light Tathagata. The latter did not remember his past at all. This was also the desire of the Medicine Master Buddha. The Buddha's heart and Buddha nature in his youth seemed to have grown up as well. Covered in dust, he held his wife and childhood sweetheart with a gentle expression.

 Talk about the future life, surrounded by parents and friends, flowers blooming in spring and falling in autumn.

 What a wonderful time these are.

My parents are still alive and healthy; I am still young, and my blood is rushing in my body, bringing with me seemingly endless power. Next to me is my wife, my childhood sweetheart. How beautiful I am, and the days ahead are prosperous and wonderful. .

 Everything seems to be full of hope.

 Like the very beginning of life.

People were laughing happily, with happiness from the heart on their faces. The Taoist was watching this from outside the door. The reincarnation of the Buddha with delicate eyebrows and gentle eyes ran over and brought some fruits and refreshments to Qi Wuzhuo, his face Be courteous and courteous.

 When talking about the future, my eyes are filled with light.

Qi Wuhuo looked at him and said, "Where are your beads?"

Today's groom was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and said, "Are you talking about the prayer beads you gave me when you rescued me back then? They are still there. This is what my savior gave me. Naturally, I won't forget…"

Even though that was the case, it took him a long time to find the beads.

It was pressed at the bottom of the box, kept brand new and handed to Qi Wuhuo. The Taoist handed the beads back to the young man and said: "This was originally yours, it just returns to its original owner."

 He drank tea, congratulated the newlyweds from the bottom of his heart, and then left.

The young man tried to persuade him: "My benefactor, won't you sit down any more?"

The black-robed Taoist paused for a moment, then followed some kind of tacit understanding and asked gently:

 “Do you think this kind of life is happy?”

The young man replied decisively: "I am happy!"

“My relatives and friends are around me, my parents are healthy, and the person I love is married, everything is so good!”

 “There is nothing more beautiful than this in life!”

Qi Wuhuo smiled and blessed them gently and seriously.

The young man and his wife saw the Taoist off together. When leaving, they asked the Taoist if he would come again.

Qi Wuhuo paused and replied, "I can't leave the city easily."

 “Then, seventeen years, I will come and see you again after seventeen years.”

The young man said seriously:

 “I will wait for you, my benefactor!”

They watched the Taoist leave, then turned around and returned to the congratulations of their relatives and friends, returning to such a happy life.

 Qi Wuhuo returned to the city.

The sapling swayed, the air rose, and time moved forward slowly.

Qiu, and the reincarnation of Medicine Buddha, a young man named Ming, the two young men are of the same age.

 A resolute decision to go to Kyushu.

 One is staying in his hometown gently.

 Everyone is right.

The Taoist thought.

Like the golden cicada practicing Buddhism, like Li Weifeng who works hard, and like Li Zhai who grows old on the battlefield.

Like you and me in the world of mortals.

Every living being with a will in this world is walking on his or her own path. Time passes so quickly. Qi Wuhuo did not use his magical power to stop the change in his appearance, but allowed the breath to breathe out, and This world grows old together.

 He looked at the Nine Steles and the people under the stone stele, lowering his eyes peacefully.

 The wind is blowing in the nine states of the world, and I have been free from the mortal world for a hundred thousand years.

The Taoist's black robe hung down, and his black hair on the temples was raised. When it fell in the wind seventeen years later, it was already gray.

Taoist, this year, fifty-one.

 Ximen Dachong got married to his childhood sweetheart.

Of course, I gave birth to a child, and the Taoist personally gave him the name "Leopard".

The name is [Ximen Leopard].

 There are more and more words on the nine stone tablets.

 This year, Mingxin, who was traveling abroad, sent back a special letter.

 He said that he had found his disciple.

 A child who is undisciplined and lazy, yet seems to be a natural fit for Tao.

 The child’s surname is Zhuang.
