Chapter 53: The Battle of the Valley(1/2)

//

They stopped talking and laughing, and soon they were beside them.

When he arrived, Aling returned to his original state and was no longer naughty.

"Why are you all standing there? Master, you are here too!"

Just as Lu Xiaoxian asked, Lao Dan jumped up to his side. The leg bone that was drying his socks also returned to its original position.

"Shh, don't talk. This is going to cause big trouble."

"Why?"

Lu Xiaoxian looked puzzled and handed the prepared vegetarian dishes and flatbread to the monk.

"Amitabha, the benefactor has mercy."

The monk practiced Buddhism and put it into a cloth bag.

"Lu Xiaoxian, what are you doing? He came to fight with us."

Dou Xiaodou shouted to Lu Xiaoxian.

Lu Xiaoxian glanced at the master with a smile and said, "Master, is that right?"

"yes."

The monk in plain clothes answered quite simply.

"That's okay. Let's come back after we have a full stomach."

Lu Xiaoxian looked quite relaxed.

The plain-clothed monk's face also had a slightly kind look on his face, and there was no murderous look on his face.

"What does it mean? Do you know who he is?"

Judging from Lao Dan's anxious words, this monk is not simple.

"who is it?"

Lu Xiaoxian looked at Lao Dan and asked, then turned to look at the monk.

"His name is Monk Suyi."

"Do you even need to tell me this? You'll know it just by looking at it."

Lu Xiaoxian looked at Lao Dan talking nonsense seriously.

"No, his dharma name is Su Yi, and he is a top-notch expert in Fonan Temple and the top disciple of Ye Bodhi."

Lao Dan spoke very excitedly.

"Ye Bodhi, are you very powerful?"

Lu Xiaoxian looked at Lao Dan with a puzzled expression.

"Very powerful, a master who has entered the three realms of Buddhism."

Lu Xiaoxian listened to Lao Dan's words and shook his head, expressing that he didn't know or recognize him.

"Why are you acting like a fool? You don't know anything."

Lao Dan began to dislike Lu Xiaoxian.

Lu Xiaoxian spread his hands and said, "No one told me."

"Then your master is really stupid. He doesn't tell you anything. How can you still wander around in the world?"

Lu Xiaoxian gave Lao Dan a thumbs up.

"That's so good, so right."

"I bowed before the Buddha for three thousand years, and realized the enlightenment of life and death in a single thought. After traveling for thousands of lives, one Bodhi leaf finally fulfilled my wish. This is what Ye Bodhi said to them after entering the Buddha and passing through the three realms."

Lao Dan said, following Lu Xiaoxian step by step.

Lu Xiaoxian didn't pay attention to what Lao Dan said, but he just focused on hearing the word "two". He turned his head to the monk again and asked: "Master, can you still be incarnate?"

The master nodded and replied with two words.

"yes!"

"so smart?"

Lu Xiaoxian cast a wave of envious glances.

"What are you talking about? Did you listen carefully? I am talking about two of their senior brothers. He has a junior brother named Fonan. He has a high spirit and high understanding. He has won the mantle of the Bodhi monk and is also the fastest among the younger generation.

An eminent monk who entered the realm of Buddha. Later, because his ambition was too high, he changed his name and called himself Tathagata. He regarded himself as the Buddha and regarded himself as the only one who respected him. He also liked to fight bravely, was superior to others, and had a murderous nature. Therefore

People also gave him the title of Doomsday Tathagata, and he was complacent and accepted it readily."

"Doomsday Tathagata sounds very domineering. His name is Fonan, so he built Fonan Temple?"

Lu Xiaoxian looked at Lao Dan curiously, always picking out some insignificant things to ask.

"Of course not. His life experience was not good. He was an abandoned orphan. The old monk Bodhi rescued him and took him back to the mountain. When he was worrying about what name to give him, he looked up and saw the Buddha.

The old monk smiled and called him Fo Nan from now on."

Lao Dan talks endlessly, and talks about others with more respect than himself.

"You have said a lot, and it seems that you are only focusing on the master and junior brother of the master. Without the master, nothing will happen. Is the master in front of you not as good as his junior brother?"

After Lu Xiaoxian finished speaking, he smiled awkwardly at the master.

The master also smiled slightly and watched them tell the past. It had been a long time since he heard someone tell about his past. Listening to the words, it felt like he was seeing everything in the past again.

"No, Master Suyi just wanted to fulfill his filial piety and support his adoptive mother, and did not want to transcend the six realms and enter the Buddha realm. Otherwise, he would have entered the Buddha realm before his junior brother, which is equivalent to the realm of a Taoist saint."

It should also be emphasized here that there are six realms in Buddhist practice, namely: the reserved fruit realm, the once-return fruit realm, the non-return fruit realm, the Arahant realm, the Bodhisattva realm, and the Buddha realm.

The Buddhists cultivate life through difficulties, so each realm has nine difficulties. Entering the Buddha realm, you have gone through a total of fifty-four difficulties.

But if you want to be called an ancestor, you have to go through the three realms again, understand the past, know the present, and understand the future, and then you can cultivate the three auras above the Buddha realm, so there are twenty-seven difficulties.

In this way, most of the numbers have been completed, and ninety-nine times have returned to their true form.

Eighty-one are difficult to cultivate, and then you will have perfect merits.

The plain-clothed monk in front of me is an expert who has completed the nine tribulations of the Bodhisattva state. Some people call him a half-Buddha and a monk.

Speaking of his birth, it was actually very difficult. Less than a month after he was born, all his family members passed away. A woman living alone not far from the next door saw that he was pitiful, so she adopted him. She fed him goat milk and he survived.

One life.

He has been very spiritual since he was a child, especially his eyes, which reveal his perception of all things. Perhaps it was fate that the old monk Bodhi happened to meet him before he suddenly enlightened to Buddhism, so he accepted him as a lay disciple.

And seeing that he was dressed simply, he called him Su Yi.

Speaking of his master Ye Bodhi, it is even more outrageous. He was a rich man from Chu State. One morning, he was awake. Suddenly he dreamed of a Bodhi leaf falling, and he immediately woke up. He gave up everything and took advantage of the morning light.

Go straight to Fo Nan Temple.

In fact, before this, he had never had a deep understanding of Buddhism, nor Fonan Temple, nor did he know where to go. Now with a single thought of paranoia, he set out on the road.

In the past, he would never let go of the beautiful jade folding fans. He would never get tired of the rich clothes and delicious food. But now, he doesn't want them anymore. Wearing only thin clothes, he went to Wei alone and came to Jiutuo Mountain.

Everyone in the family followed him closely and tried to persuade him, but to no avail.

After he came to Fo Nan Temple, he neither worshiped the Buddha nor the Bodhisattva, let alone the monks and monks. He just sat cross-legged under the old bodhi tree in the temple. He said nothing and closed his eyes tightly. No matter what others did, he

Even if he shouted, he would not move at all.

Just like that, I sat cross-legged for three months without eating or talking.

It wasn't until March was over that a leaf from the Bodhi tree fell gently and hit him on the head, and then he opened his eyes. It could be considered that it woke him up.

"There is no end to the great road. One leaf enters the world of mortals. Follow the great Dharma and leave it. From then on, you will be enlightened."

In this way, following his wish, he worshiped the Bodhi tree as his teacher and became a monk.

The monks in the temple knew his story and thought he was the incarnation of the Bodhi tree. Therefore, they called him Yi Ye Monk, or Bodhi Old Monk, or more simply, Ye Bodhi.

His cultivation is indeed amazing. He passed through five realms in one night and became a Buddha in one day. In addition to the Buddha's six-ray aura, he also cultivated three auras above the Buddha's realm.

Lao Dan told everyone everything. After everyone found out, Lu Xiaoxian asked: "Isn't that old monk Bodhi invincible in the world?"

"No, he hasn't been called an ancestor yet, but he has disappeared. Maybe he went to where he went when his head got hot, who knows?"

Even though Lao Dan talks so cheerfully, there are some things he doesn’t know.

"Okay, since everyone is standing still, it seems that there is no chance of filling our stomachs. Then, let's get started! I don't know how I offended the master, and I'm here to take it out on you today."

Lu Xiaoxian looked at the master and asked.

The monk in plain clothes shook his head and said slowly: "You have not offended me, and you are not here to fight, nor are you here to vent your anger. You are here to kill someone."

When they heard the word murder, everyone tensed up.

"Murder? Since no one offends the master, why is this?"

Lu Xiaoxian looked at the monk and asked.
