Longevity, starting from being a chicken raising servant

Thumb!

The broken vajra nailed on the shadow of the body of the Great Master Xinyuan, instantly knocking it out of the flesh.

The stupa immediately flew high and covered it heavily!

The purple-gold Buddha light enveloped the shadow.

The shadow exuding anger and demonic thoughts did not howl at all, but struggled more furiously, and the stupa swayed left and right. He roared loudly:

"I will not become a Buddha until the world is empty!"

He had already entered Nirvana, but he still had some demonic thoughts. Now he only wanted to destroy all the people in the world and fulfill his last wish.

However, after leaving the flesh, the demonic shadow in the chanting was still strong, but it no longer had the ability to resist the stupa. In the roar, the momentum gradually weakened.

It was just that the shadow was solid, and it was like boiling water under the Buddha's light, sizzling, but there was no intention of giving up.

The depth of obsession made Wang Ba and Zhao Jie, who flew over, look extremely solemn.

Zhao Jie stayed in Wang Ba's Dao domain and did not dare to come out. Although the evil thoughts of Xinyuan were controlled, the terrifying suction force from the physical body of Xinyuan Bodhisattva showed no sign of stopping.

Wang Ba flew in front of the stupa, and frowned slightly when he saw that the evil thoughts of Xinyuan were so firm.

Raised his fingers to calculate.

The fortune teller knows the cause and the consequence.

But compared with predicting the future, predicting the past is much easier.

Almost in an instant, his eyes flickered slightly.

Then he saw tiny holes floating like honeycombs in the cloudless sky.

Those were real membrane eyes.

But these real membrane eyes were too small and did not seem to attract anyone's attention.

Only a trickle of water slowly flowed out of these holes.

"Is this before the great flood?"

Wang Ba's heart moved.

The scene in front of him suddenly flashed.

The densely packed tiny black holes no longer exist, replaced by a hole the size of a millstone.

A large amount of water poured down from it.

But still no one cares.

Although Wang Ba, who saw this scene, already knew the future result, he couldn't help but feel worried.

Soon, the hole expanded rapidly, and it could be vaguely seen that there seemed to be something in the black hole that was constantly widening the size of the hole.

At this time, the water flow was already astonishingly large!

"It's the World Eater!"

Wang Ba's heart tightened, and a flash of realization flashed in his eyes at the same time.

He was still thinking that with the normal expansion speed of the real membrane eye, even if no one in Xituozhou noticed it at the beginning, it would be enough to react and deal with it in time.

Now it seems that it was the World Eater outside the world who discovered the real membrane eye here and accelerated the expansion speed, which made the people of Xituozhou unable to react in time.

At this moment, a flash of light appeared in front of his eyes. An old monk with white eyebrows and wearing a plain white checkered monk robe came on the sea. He seemed to have noticed something unusual and flew out of the real membrane eye without hesitation.

The flood was like a mountain pouring down the sea, and it was endless.

Then more monks came, but facing the already huge membrane eye, everyone was helpless. Some tried to fill it with their bodies, but it was a drop in the bucket.

Recalling what Ci Wu said in the past, Wang Ba had a glimmer of enlightenment at this moment:

"Xinyuan Dashi went straight out of the realm... No wonder Ci Wu said he was missing."

The next situation is also easy to guess.

Xinyuan has not returned for a long time. Without a leader, people's hearts are scattered, so some people want to escape, while others can't let go, and the monks of Xituozhou go their separate ways.

The next scene also proves Wang Ba's guess.

The monks who stayed behind tried to build a large ship and magical instruments to save people, food, etc.

Maybe it is not difficult to save only one city or one country, but these monks are too greedy, or too compassionate, and want to save all the people left in Xituozhou.

Under normal circumstances, it is not impossible. If the spiritual energy is sufficient and the monks recover their magic power in time, there is a certain possibility to do this.

But at this time, the white-browed old monk who had been out of the world for a long time finally returned.

Compared with before, the monk's robe was messy and his breath was obviously much lower. Obviously, he had experienced a dust battle.

But seeing Xituozhou about to be completely submerged, he felt deeply that it was his fault and finally made a decision:

"The boundary membrane is damaged, and the floods all come from here. We should use the Dao domain to fill it!"

"But this is not enough."

"The floods are derived from things outside the boundary. If I use my body as a shell and "emptiness" as a bottle to absorb these things outside the boundary and spiritual energy, maybe I can eliminate the flood disaster and save the people!"

If this method is used by other cultivators, it will never be implemented, just because the spiritual energy that cultivators can bear is limited. Even cultivators who have practiced in the void cannot absorb it without limit.

However, the original cultivation of "Yuankong Wuxiang" is nothingness and emptiness.

Since everything is empty, it is naturally enough to accommodate everything.

Without any hesitation, the white-browed old monk immediately filled the membrane eye with his body, and at the same time used his own Dao domain to forcibly absorb the chaotic source and overflowing spiritual energy inside and outside.

The Dao domain was instantly merged with the boundary membrane.

Perhaps it was because the chaotic source and the vast amount of spiritual energy he continuously absorbed fed back to him and the boundary membrane, so that even though his body merged with the world, he did not disappear directly like others, but barely preserved his consciousness and body.

Although his consciousness eventually perished as the Dao Realm merged with the world.

But at the end of his life, he found that everything did not develop in the direction he had imagined.

The membrane eye is not completely filled but is still expanding.

A lot of water washed out.

What's even more desperate is that as his realm merges with heaven and earth, his suction of the source of chaos and spiritual energy also increases rapidly, until he sucks out all the spiritual energy in the entire West Tuo Continent and even beyond...

Ci Lu, Cizhao... these juniors who he watched grow up all passed into nirvana because their aura no longer existed and their magic power was exhausted.

Mortals also died in large numbers after losing their shelter.

At the end of his life, he was left with only deep guilt and self-doubt.

Could it be that he did something wrong?

With such confusion and pain, Xin Yuan finally entered nirvana.

But the last question was reborn in his body.

Hundreds of years later, I was awakened by the visit of two monks...

'call--'

Wang Hao gently stopped his fingers and stopped looking back.

There was a hint of sigh and pity in the eyes looking at Xin Yuan Mo Nian.

He already roughly understood what happened to Xin Yuan.

If you want to calculate it, it is somewhat similar to the trolley problem mentioned in the previous life.

There is one person on one side and five or more people on the other side. Who lives and who dies on both sides depends entirely on the choice of the heart.

If one party lives, the other party dies.

The difference is that the situation Xin Yuan faces is that on one side there are a large number of mortals, and on the other side there are monks and descendants who are closer to him.

The conditions are also murkier.

In Wang Yan's view, Xin Yuan's original choice cannot be miscalculated. He chased the world eater outside the world to kill the world eater. This was to solve the problem from the source. After returning, he used his body to fill his eyes, and at the same time absorbed the source of chaos and spiritual energy to prevent the big disaster. The flood continues to spread, which can be said to be a thoughtful and generous death.

The only thing that can be criticized is that as the leader of Xituozhou, he went into danger alone without making arrangements for his funeral. This caused Xituozhou to fall apart and fight on their own. This is the important reason why Xituozhou has reached this stage. Responsible Person.

However, no one is without fault, and the situation is urgent. Xituozhou has been in peace for a long time, so it is understandable that we could not take it into consideration.

It's just that God is not as good as man. The real membrane eye was not solved because the heart connection filled the eye with the body. On the contrary, it was the monks of Xituozhou who extracted the spiritual energy due to the heart connection, which affected the fish in the pond and eventually died one after another.

If you look at it at the time, this was naturally no choice but a last resort.

But when the mental condition infers the cause from the effect, the situation becomes different.

If at the beginning, he had not chosen to go out of the world to kill the world-eaters, fill his eyes, and absorb spiritual energy to save mortals, but instead led a group of monks to find another place to live, would these descendants of the monks not have to die?

He saved a group of people out of compassion, but also indirectly killed the younger generations who trusted him. After all, is he a Buddha or a demon?

This is a question without an answer.

Because everyone's answers and standards are different.

The only trouble is that, perhaps because his consciousness is about to disappear, Xin Yuan, who is on the verge of the end of his life, is trapped in this problem, and finally a ray of evil thoughts is born.

Thinking of this, Wang Hao looked at the angry and roaring shadow covered by the stupa, with a little unbearable look in his eyes.

In his opinion, kindness and compassion are very advanced talents, but not everyone can control such talents. If the ability is limited, they will often be harmed by this talent.

Even a generation of eminent monks and virtuous men like Master Xin Yuan have suffered from compassion. Although they have made great sacrifices, they are still trapped in the dilemma of moral torture. Even after entering nirvana, they still find it difficult to sleep peacefully.

It has nothing to do with Tao Xin.

Perhaps only compassionate people would have so many worries and pains.

Although he did not agree with such a concept, it was difficult for him to hate such people.

As if he noticed the pity in Wang Ba's eyes, the demonic shadow in the stupa suddenly stopped struggling and allowed the Buddha's light to shine on him, making a sizzling sound like burning, but he seemed to be completely unaware of it. With a trace of anger, unwillingness and pain, he stared at Wang Hao with his eyes:

"Do you also think Xin Yuan did something wrong?"

"Do you also agree with me making up for my mistakes with my own hands?"

Wang Hao shook his head slightly and suddenly whispered:

"No matter which one you choose, the result will be the same."

The demonic shadow was slightly startled.

"If he chooses to let it go and escape with only the monks from the Buddhist kingdom, the great master will still suffer for the rest of his life because he failed to stop the great flood in the past, which caused the land of Xituozhou to sink and all sentient beings to die."

Wang Hao calmly said:

"Or lead the monks to rescue the monks in various Buddhist countries in time, but who can save them all? There will always be missed mortals. In a major disaster, someone will always die. This is unavoidable... Since there is no way to avoid it, with the great master's kindness and compassion, and his desire to protect others, I am afraid that I will still live in pain for the rest of my life."

"Then no matter what choice you make, wouldn't the result be the same for a master?"

"It's just that the pain is more or less, but there is no essential difference."

The demonic figure froze in place, and the movement of struggling could not help but become smaller.

He murmured to himself:

"The result...is the same?"

But he woke up instantly, shaking the stupa like a madman, with blazing demonic intent, staring at Wang Ba and shouting angrily:

"You lied to me! So many people died because of me, how can this be the same!"

"If I didn't absorb the spiritual energy around me, the disciples of the Buddha Kingdom should have been able to protect myself and mortals, instead of the current situation... they all entered nirvana! All entered nirvana!"

Wang Yan frowned slightly.

This is exactly the biggest crux of this problem.

Xinyuan's approach was not simply to choose which side would live or die. He wanted to save everyone, but in the end, his decision caused even more tragic losses.

So from the results, if Xinyuan had chosen other methods, even if he had done nothing, the results might have been much better than now.

Later, Master Xinyuan obviously realized this, so he could not accept this fact.

But for the old monk in front of him, he couldn't bear to say it.

"Master, none of us blame you..."

Zhaojie looked at the revered Xinyuan who had become like this, and couldn't help but show a sad face, and stepped forward to comfort him in a low voice.

But he only heard the angry roar of the Demon Thought Shadow.

The Buddha light of the stupa was brilliant, shining on the Demon Thought Shadow, but it could not convert it. Instead, the Demon Thought Shadow approached Xinyuan's body little by little, as if it wanted to return again.

Wang Ba, who noticed this scene, was startled. His mind raced, and he suddenly said in a deep voice:

"The situation in Xituozhou is like this. The Great Master did not blame those world eaters, but instead blamed himself for everything. He is a bit arrogant."

The evil shadow paused when he heard this, and then stared at Wang Ba again, with a ferocious face and a trace of confusion:

"...You, what do you want to say?"

Facing the other party's gaze, Wang Ba replied calmly:

"Since the Great Master has merged with the world, he must be able to feel the situation outside the world. The world is declining, and the strange beasts outside the world, that is, the world eaters, have been spying on Xiaocang Realm for many years. Even if the great flood disaster is not in Xituozhou, it is Fenglinzhou and Huangjizhou, with the participation of the world eaters, will inevitably be an unstoppable catastrophe. "

"The great master wants to save the people of Dawn by himself, but he doesn't know that there are many sixth-level world eaters outside the world waiting to share the food of Xiaocang World. Does the great master think that you can stop the catastrophe and so many world eaters outside the world with your own strength? "

"What do you think of the many refining cultivators in Xiaocang World? "

"They don't even dare to have such a delusion!"

"If the great master really has this intention, Wang has only four words to send him..."

"Overestimate your own ability!"

"Donyue!"

Zhaojie, who was standing aside, couldn't stand it anymore and shouted in a low voice to stop him.

Even though he vaguely guessed that the present of Xituozhou had a great relationship with the former Xinyuan Great Master, he still couldn't stand the other party being humiliated by Wang Ba.

In the stupa, it suddenly became quiet at this moment.

The shadow of the evil spirit stood in a daze under the Buddha's light. The evil spirit around him rose like smoke under the purification of the Buddha's light, but he was unaware of it and muttered a few words in his mouth:

"Overestimate your own ability... Overestimate your own ability..."

Sometimes frowning, sometimes angry, sometimes laughing...

Accompanying these words, the evil spirit on the shadow of the evil spirit actually dissipated little by little.

His frowning brows were quietly smoothed, and his ferocious face gradually calmed down.

He sat cross-legged and bowed his head and clasped his hands.

The cracks on the Buddha statue behind him quietly closed, and the evil spirit wailed and dissipated.

A little auspicious red mole reappeared at the center of the eyebrows of the shadow and the center of the eyebrows of the physical body of Xinyuan Dashi.

Pure white Buddha light emerged from the back of their heads, like the Buddha's sudden enlightenment, washing away all the lead!

"This, this..."

Zhaojie looked at the shadow of the evil spirit in disbelief, and then turned to look at Wang Ba, his eyes full of unbelievable.

This is clearly a sign of becoming a Buddha!

But... he was clearly scolding Master Xinyuan just now, how could it be...

The relic tower seemed to have sensed something, and with a slight tremor, it actually left the evil thought phantom directly, hovering slightly in the air, as if it was talking to the evil thought phantom.

The evil thought phantom was shrouded in pure white Buddha light, holy and pure, and completely different from the evil thought just now.

He nodded slightly, and countless scriptures seemed to flow in his eyes. He looked sideways to the east, as if he had seen something, and slowly opened his mouth, and the Buddhist sound shook:

"Go, the great catastrophe is coming, and Master Ciwu has found a successor for me, and it needs you more."

The relic tower seemed to be reluctant to shake towards the evil thought phantom, and then flew straight to the east.

Wang Ba, who saw this scene, was thinking about something.

But Zhaojie was so excited that he couldn't speak:

"Great Master, you, you have already..."

"I have already attained enlightenment."

The shadow of the devil's thoughts, no, it was the shadow of Xinyuan, smiled slightly, full of peace and tranquility, and then looked at Wangba, sitting cross-legged in the air, clasped his hands and bowed:

"Thank you for your enlightenment, Xinyuan had committed a taboo in Buddhism before, and had too much "ego". Your four words are really like a wake-up call, Xinyuan has learned from you."

Wangba did not avoid it, but accepted the gift calmly.

Ego is to be too obsessed with one's own shortcomings and to take everything about oneself too seriously.

The reason why Great Master Xinyuan fell into such pain was that he felt that the world must have him, and attributed the good and bad of Xituozhou to his own choice. Once he realized that he was just one of the countless living beings, and the world's situation would not be different because of his choice, then such pain would no longer exist fundamentally.

Because his choice was not important, no one could escape the catastrophe of heaven and earth.

What Wang Ba did was to point this out.

But he was also a little curious:

"What is the situation of the Bodhisattva now..."

The shadow of Xinyuan did not hide it and said calmly:

"I should be in Nirvana now."

"But if we talk about it in Feng Linzhou, maybe I can be regarded as ascending."

Wang Hao was slightly startled:

"What's the explanation?"

Zhao Jie on the side had both admiration and envy in his eyes, and he explained in a low voice:

"We, the monks of Xituozhou, are slightly different from you monks. If we practice normally, when we reach the sixth level, we will be able to ascend to the upper world. However, those with deep Buddha roots will attain nirvana. The upper realm's 'Jie Yin Pond' receives you and starts the next life..."

Wang Yan couldn't help but look shocked and couldn't help but said:

"Then anyone can..."

Zhao Jie seemed to have guessed what Wang Ba wanted to say, and shook his head:

"From a Buddha to a demon, from a demon to a Buddha... it can be regarded as a shortcut, but few people can take it... but Tan Yue can give it a try."

"Yes, although my little friend's Buddha nature is not as good as that of my disciple who I have never met, he is also a rare person with a kind heart. If you are willing to join my Buddhist sect, I can accept disciples on your behalf."

Xin Yuan Xuying smiled lightly.

Wang Hao reacted, looked at the other party, and asked seriously:

"Have you also seen the great catastrophe in the future? Can you tell me where this catastrophe came from?"

Xin Yuan Xuying shook his head slightly when he heard this:

"I don't want to say it, but I really can't see through it. I only know that this catastrophe is a great catastrophe that has swept across the entire Kokura Realm. No one in the continents has been spared, but I don't know where it came from."

"But when disasters come, it's useless to worry. The so-called disasters are only inside and outside the world. Even if you insist on knowing, what can you do?"

"Sometimes, you need to relax and just move forward."

Wang Ba was startled, but at this moment he suddenly woke up.

He has always been obsessed with the great catastrophe of heaven and earth mentioned by Xuan Yuanzi, and his mind was worried about it, but it actually slowed down his own cultivation.

But as long as you are strong enough, you can bear all kinds of disasters on your own.

"Thank you for your advice, Master."

The shadow of Xin Yuan smiled and said nothing, and his figure gradually became more erratic and illusory.

"Master!"

Zhaojie looked shocked.

Xin Yuan Xuying’s face is calm:

"I was originally a wisp of demonic thoughts. Now that the demonic thoughts are no longer there, and I suddenly become a Buddha, it should be the time for Nirvana, but..."

He glanced at Wang Ba and Zhao Jie with a look of contemplation on his face, and then he threw himself directly into the body of Xin Yuan with a cave crawling in the chest next to him.

At this moment, the demonic thoughts and the body became one, and Xin Yuan immediately opened his eyes and pushed the vajra in front of Zhao Jie.

"Please pass this treasure to my disciple on my behalf."

Zhao Jie quickly took it with both hands. As for the 'disciple', he was obviously the reincarnated Buddha in Beihai Continent.

Although the other party has obviously never seen it and should not know about it, it is natural for a being who has attained enlightenment to possess such superpowers.

Then Xin Yuan took out another cloth bag and handed it to Zhao Jie:

"These are my treasures from Xituo Continent over the years. You can keep them for me. You can take any of them."

Zhao Jie looked shocked and was about to refuse, but feeling Xin Yuan's gaze, he solemnly accepted the offer.

Xinyuan nodded with satisfaction, then turned his eyes to Wang Hao.

His peaceful eyes seemed to have discerned something, and he frowned slightly:

"I can't do anything about the problems my little friend is encountering now..."

He looked thoughtful, then reached out and took out an unusual-looking stone bead from his plain white monk's robe.

With a flick, it fell into Wang Ba's hand.

Wang Haowei was a little surprised:

"This is……"

Xin Yuan calmly said:

"This is a fifth-level sea pearl. It may be able to solve part of your problems."

"Fifth level sea pearl?"

Wang Ba's heart moved.

There are actually two in the sect, one in Taihe Palace and one in Chunyang Palace.

It's just that the energy in the two sea beads has been exhausted a long time ago, and he doesn't know when they can be used again, so he has never used the fifth-level sea beads.

Thinking of the previous problems that the Yuanci Taoists had been unable to escape from, he suddenly had an idea.

He was not polite and accepted the treasure immediately.

Just as he was about to thank him, Xin Yuan's body suddenly shook, and the shadow of Xin Yuan flew out again, and landed in front of Wang Hao in an instant, raising his hand and landing on his shoulder.

"Master..."

Wang Ba and Zhao Jie's expressions changed at the same time.

But the next moment, Xin Yuan's shadow raised his hand, and Zhao Jie staggered. After a gust of wind, he was shocked to find that he was already standing on the coast where he had just set foot on Xituozhou!

He looked up, but where could he see Master Xinyuan and Wang Yan?

And at the same time.

The vast and dark outside of the Ogura world.

In an extremely tiny, constantly creeping cave on the boundary membrane.

A pure white Buddha light enveloped a figure that suddenly flew out and landed above the cave. (End of chapter)
