Chapter six hundred and ninety-six gods and demons have me in the world
The old monk looked at the white bones that fell on the ground quietly and said calmly: "This is the law of time."
The light between the dead branches' fingers gradually faded away, and Li Xiuyuan regained his freedom of breathing in an instant.
Looking at the old monk in front of him, Li Xiuyuan's eyes were filled with shock.
He could clearly feel the sacred aura contained in the law of time. He had no intention of understanding what the old monk said because he could not calm down from the shock in his heart.
The radiance revealed between the old monk's fingers, which were like dead branches, was not very intense, but was as warm and moist as the moonlight in the sky, revealing an indescribable wonder.
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and murmured: "What will happen after time and space are connected?"
The old monk was startled, looked at him and said speechlessly: "For thousands of years, I have been looking forward to it, just to wait for the day when I can get out of trouble and find the legendary law of space."
After hearing these words, Li Xiuyuan finally woke up from the shock. He thought of one thing. Regardless of whether the old monk appeared or not, his ultimate goal was to find the legendary law of time.
And my mission is to find the lost fragments of the jade dish. If the old monk in front of me leaves today, will it one day become my undying enemy?
He was going to ask the old Taoist priest why all this happened?
"You guessed it right. My destiny in this life is to find the legendary piece of space law. But think about it, if I can see that old guy again, he will tell me the subtleties...
.”
The old monk was thinking of the old Taoist priest who had passed thousands of years ago, but he didn't know that Li Xiuyuan was the apprentice of the old Taoist priest.
Because he is just a clone of the old monk in the temple, he needs to return to the old monk.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the stubborn old monk and couldn't help but ask: "Millions of years have passed, and you are still so persistent, senior... Aren't you afraid that you will become a demon because of this?
Because he once read a book in No. 47 Courtyard of Tianyu City: "If you are too persistent, you will become possessed."
Brother Minghui of Prajna Temple once said to him: "Buddhism is also called Mingxin, which means believing clearly. Buddhism is also called Zhixin, which means believing with wisdom. But if you are attached to the Dharma and the laws of the world, this is called being possessed by evil spirits. It's you.
I went crazy."
Li Xiuyuan once asked: "What is persistence?"
Ming Huizeng said: "The higher the level of cultivation, the more casual people will be. Only those who have not yet climbed to the top will be persistent."
Li Xiuyuan said he couldn't understand it, and Kukai told him a story.
There was an old monk who raised many monkeys. He ran into trouble when distributing food to the monkeys.
The old monk looked at the monkey and said, "How about I give you three liters of corn in the morning and four liters in the evening?"
When the monkeys heard this, they were dissatisfied and jumped up to show their anger.
The old monk had no choice but to say: "Then I will give you four liters in the morning and three liters in the evening."
The monkeys then expressed their satisfaction and stopped arguing with the old monk.
Li Xiuyuan didn't quite understand it at the time, but now after listening to the old monk's words, he immediately understood why tens of millions of years had passed, and the old monk was still obsessed with the unfinished dream of that year.
The old monk looked at him and smiled and said: "At that time, I was worried that I would become a demon, but I didn't expect that after tens of millions of years, I would become possessed... If it weren't for this persistence in my heart, how could I have survived these tens of millions of years?
time?"
Li Xiuyuan sighed inwardly and looked at the old monk and added: "That's right. If it weren't for the persistence of the seniors, I'm afraid I really wouldn't be able to survive these tens of millions of years."
Even so, he still thought of his master in his heart.
The old monk sighed softly, recalling the scenery back then. If he hadn't practiced this unique law, he would have turned into ashes along with that guy.
After thinking about it, the old monk seemed to have made a lot of determination. He looked at Li Xiuyuan and said: "We can come and discuss the conditions. I am tired and will go back. I wish you can find those laws in the endless years.
The fragments..."
Meng Changsheng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the old monk would leave right after he said so.
For a moment, I couldn't help but ask: "Senior, the mountains and rivers here are still broken, and your ambition back then has not yet been completed. Are you leaving now? Didn't you say you want to teach me the avenue of time?"
The old monk looked at him and said calmly: "Since you have come here, I can naturally leave with peace of mind... As for the law of the Avenue of Time... He is not always in your hands.
What?"
Before Li Xiuyuan could understand, the old monk continued: "I said, if you don't enter the realm of mortal transformation, even if the law is in your hands, you won't be able to understand it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden light rose up and the old man disappeared from in front of him.
...
The next moment, Li Xiuyuan woke up leisurely, sitting cross-legged on the futon, staring blankly at a fragment of a jade dish in his hand.
The green light in the cave is still the same, it is the light of thirty-three green lotuses.
Among the lotus petals, one grew between his eyebrows.
Looking at the old Taoist priest sitting opposite, Li Xiuyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Master, why is this?"
The old Taoist priest looked at him and smiled and said: "This mountain was transformed by the old monk. He imprisoned himself for thousands of years just to repair the damaged mountains and rivers. Now that you are here, his wish has been fulfilled..."
After saying these words, the green light in the cave gradually disappeared and slowly submerged into Li Xiuyuan's body.
"Since you have restored this mountain and river, he will naturally go back." The old Taoist priest said quietly. His expression was very relaxed, as if he was talking to his apprentice about some household matters.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the jade plate in his palm and asked, "What about such a thing? When did it hide in my palm? Why didn't I feel it? It wasn't until the old monk Di left..."
Holding the fragment of a jade dish glowing with green light in his hand, he had a warm feeling. It was the only jade dish in the world, because he also had two pieces in his divine sea.
It's just that he doesn't know if the piece of jade disk in his hand is the fragment of the jade disc that records the avenue of time. This must be explained to him by the old Taoist priest in front of him, otherwise he will have to wait until decades later...
"This is what I lent to the old monk back then. What you saw was just the clone of the old guy in the temple... Maybe he was looking at your merits in restoring this mountain and river...
..."
Li Xiuyuan was stunned and said in a daze: "I thought he was plotting against his disciples and wanted to steal the treasure in my body."
Li Xiuyuan did not expect that the old monk who left was actually the old monk from the temple.
From this point of view, the old monk was really kind to him, and even gave him the only treasure he had on the underground.
"Master, do you want to take it back? I already have three pieces here..."
In Li Xiuyuan's view, he was just like a transparent person in front of the old Taoist priest, without any secrets, because all these opportunities came from the hands of the master.
As long as you can understand the great laws of it, it doesn't matter if you return the jade plate.
"You gave me the jade dish, how will you practice the laws in it in the future? The jade dish is now integrated with you. With this fragment of the jade dish, you will have an extra space for all things to grow..."
The old Taoist priest said that the wind was clear and the clouds were calm. When Li Xiuyuan went there, he heard the roaring waves. He couldn't help but pointed at Long Hongchen beside him and asked: "Can this guy be taken in?"
"Why not? Your current level of cultivation is too low, so there is no need to know too many secrets. I will explain it to you slowly in the future."
The old Taoist priest took the fragment of the jade dish from Li Xiuyuan's hand, and saw the jade dish flying up and down in the old Taoist priest's hand like a child, and a thick green light suddenly filled the cave.
Sighing softly, the old Taoist priest stretched out his hand... and saw the jade saucer in Li Xiuyuan's body fly out of the divine sea, and instantly flew into the palm of the old Taoist priest's hand.
While Li Xiuyuan was stunned, the two jade plates emitted a thick green light, made a clear sound, and instantly merged into one.
"The road is long, let them accompany you on the journey..."
When the old Taoist priest stretched out his hand, the two jade plates merged into one and turned into a ray of green light, submerging into Li Xiuyuan's divine sea.
The green lotus in the divine sea swayed slightly, the lotus leaves fluttered in the wind, and a green light glowed.
"Master, I have three jade discs. Why doesn't the one that records reincarnation refuse to merge?" After thinking for a long time, Li Xiuyuan finally expressed his doubts.
For him right now, the most important thing and the one he comes into contact with the most is the Tower of Reincarnation in his body.
Whether on the battlefield of Dachu or in Huangquan Village outside the Three Realms, this Samsara Tower has helped me a lot.
The old Taoist priest shook his head and said with a faint smile: "He, he is transcendent above all jade discs. I am afraid that even if you find the fragment where it is, you may not be able to fuse with him."
"Why?" Li Xiuyuan was very puzzled. Since the hearts and minds have the same roots, why can't they merge back together?
"Why do you have to fuse? You can understand the laws of the great road without fusion. In the end, it just depends on your understanding. The moon waxes and wanes, don't you understand this truth?"
The old Taoist priest glared at him and said solemnly: "Remember, even if you find all the fragments, don't try to fuse this jade dish..."
"Why?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
"Why? Because the Dao is lacking, do you want to deviate from the laws of the Dao?" The old Taoist shook his head and murmured softly.
Li Xiuyuan took a breath and then asked: "So, master, what happened to those ancient gods and demons? Is it possible that you want your disciples to learn the laws of time and space and go back to the past..."
The old Taoist priest looked at him and shook his head, and said with a bitter smile: "What I gave you is cause and effect, what you have in your body is reincarnation, what the monk gave you today is time, and you are still missing a jade plate that records the laws of space...
..."
"Even if you have broken through the realm of cultivation and reached the level of mortal transformation, it will take you many years of effort just to practice the above three laws... let alone find the laws of space."
The old Taoist priest sighed and said quietly: "The road to practice is long. Don't be impatient. It's useless to be impatient. Do you have anything else to ask? I'll have to go back if it's okay."
At this moment, Li Xiuyuan seemed to have a lot to say, but he couldn't say even half of it. He could only shake his head gently and said with a bitter smile: "This is too much information, and the disciple hasn't recovered yet."
In his opinion, the jade plate that the playboy from Tianluo Kingdom did not hesitate to kill the old man at the bun shop in the street, but he just walked to the cliff land and fell into his hands.
If the person on Mount Xumi knew about it, he would probably send Wu Hua down to earth to cause trouble for him in a rage.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan looked at the old Taoist priest and asked: "Master, the temple that has existed for tens of millions of years has disappeared in an instant. In the future, won't the Shura battlefield be without the protection of gods and Buddhas?"
"This is the battlefield of Shura. Do you need the protection of gods and Buddhas?"
The old Taoist priest shook his head and said softly: "The temple exists here just to find a monk who can shoulder the responsibility. Now that you are here, they have no meaning of existence anymore."
"The old monk at the temple said that the disciple's practice of the formless golden body depends on sudden enlightenment. The opportunity for sudden enlightenment is the book of scriptures that the master gave me. I wonder if that's true?"
Li Xiuyuan thought that the content in the scripture seemed familiar, and continued: "As for the scripture that Master gave me, some of the principles in it seem to have been learned by me when I was in the Five Realms."
The old Taoist priest nodded and said with a smile: "It is because you have practiced the formless Dharmakaya that you can continue to practice the formless metal form. If you were another person, you might not even be able to read the scriptures."
After saying that, he waved his hand and injected a faint amount of zhenqi into Li Xiuyuan's body.
Li Xiuyuan only felt a faint force rushing from his body to the green lotus in the divine sea, which made him feel happy but felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.
Even though he had suffered a lot in the three reincarnations, Li Xiuyuan's current state was far from being able to comprehend the great principles in the jade plate. All the old Taoist priest could do was to strengthen the power of the green lotus.
In his opinion, only the only green lotus in the world can protect his youngest disciple in times of danger.
