Chapter 767: Practical benefits

"Although I, a Buddhist monk, am compassionate, I am empty of all four elements. I cannot marry and have children. If I cannot abide by the pure rules and precepts of Buddhism, I will definitely not be able to learn the true meaning of my Buddhist Dharma. If I pass on the Dharma to my fellow Taoist, how will the poor monk explain it to the Great Master in the future?

"

Subhuti shook his head, and when he saw Liu Yi taking out a wine jar and drinking wine, the Buddha sighed again and said, "I remember, the Great Master also liked to drink wine back then."

This Subhuti Buddha did not shave his head like ordinary monks.

There is still hair on the Buddha's head, and the strands of hair are bent into small circles, neatly packed on the scalp, like a "pineapple" shape.

There is also a bun on the top of the head, but it is not tied with a wooden hairpin like a Taoist priest. Instead, the bun is stacked three times, like a small pagoda.

This hairstyle is really interesting.

Liu Yi once saw many Buddha's hairstyles in Daning Temple and Demon-killing Temple, especially the Buddha of Many Treasures, who was wide and fat and the most burly, with golden light all over. He also had a pineapple hair style, which was different from Subhuti's.

The hairstyles are very similar.

"Great monk, you don't want to teach me Buddhism. Are you really going to default on your debt?"

Liu Yi wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth, handed the wine jar to Subhuti, and asked, "Would you like a sip?"

Subhuti Buddha shook his head and said: "Buddhism has clear rules and precepts, and poor monks cannot drink alcohol."

"Don't worry, there is no charge for this drink."

Liu Yi shook the wine jar and said: "This is vegetarian wine, it does not count as breaking the precepts."

"Wine is a poison that penetrates the intestines, and sex is a bone scraper. Fellow Daoist Liu, don't make fun of the poor monk."

Subhuti shook his head, pondered for a moment, and then said: "The poor monk, under my Buddha's seat, has the false reputation of being the best in solving emptiness. If fellow Taoist Liu thinks highly of the poor monk, the poor monk might as well discuss the matter of cultivation with fellow Taoist Liu, how about it?"

"

Liu Yi smelled the aroma of the wine and a smile appeared on his face, "Didn't the great monk say that you can't teach me Buddhism?"

"It's not Buddhism, it's just an ordinary way of practice. When I, the Buddha, listened to the teachings of my ancestor, the ancestor said that all dharmas are unified, and all wonders return to the origin. Although the paths of practice of all sentient beings in the world are different, they can all return to their roots.

The bottom line is the same."

The Subhuti Bodhisattva is solemn, with a circle of Buddha's light appearing on the top of his head, among which the three flowers on the top turn into three golden lotuses, which bloom and wither, wither and bloom again.

When the golden lotus withered, countless golden petals fell and scattered around.

Liu Yi swept his mind and counted the petals briefly, and found that the number was exactly 3,800.

Subhuti held up a golden petal and said: "Later, I, the Buddha, listened to another preacher. The man said that there are three thousand avenues and eight hundred side doors in this world, and all of them can lead to the path."

Liu Yi put down the wine jar, looked straight, and asked: "I wonder if the great monk can tell me who the ancestor is and who the person who preached later was?"

"The ancestor was born in the chaotic void and was born before heaven and earth. As for the person who later preached, he was also born before heaven and earth."

Subhuti put his hands together, bowed three times in the sky, and said: "My Buddha first listened to the ancestor's sermon, and then listened to that man's sermon for an unknown number of kalpas. I, the Buddha, combined the two lines of Taoism, and finally

It was only then that Buddhism was founded and formed its own lineage. Therefore, the poor monk did not dare to say much about these two people."

"Why can't you tell me? Great monk, are you afraid of insulting the reputation of those two people?"

Liu Yi took another sip of wine, pointed to the depths of the void where Subhuti had bowed before, and asked again: "Great monk, you only bowed three times in one direction. I can see this clearly and clearly. Now.

I feel something in my heart and want to ask the great monk. Since the Buddha listened to the sermon in front of two masters and founded the lineage of Buddhism, why do you only worship one person this time but not the other one?"

"The other person need not bow down."

Subhuti said: "Under my Buddha's seat are ten great disciples, many Bodhisattvas, Arhats, eight heavenly dragons, and many Dharma-protecting gods. Many masters among them have fallen because of this man. Why do we Buddhist disciples need to kneel down and worship?"

Liu Yi's expression suddenly became solemn. Liu Yi didn't know how strong the Buddhist sect was, but the Subhuti in front of him was at least a master of the Six Realms Surveying the Sky. Subhuti said that many masters of the Buddhist sect had fallen because of that person.

It's a bit too shocking.

So, Liu Yi asked: "So, you Buddhists have a karmic relationship with him and have a big enmity with him, so you don't worship him?"

"Disciples of Buddhism have the three precepts of greed, anger, and ignorance. Now that they have given up anger, how can they feel hatred? The poor monk worshiped him and respected him because of his kindness to me, the Buddha."

Subhuti recited the Buddhist mantra in his mouth, and after a passage of scripture, he slowly said: "As for the reason why the other person does not need to bow down, it is even simpler. Buddhist disciples are willing to accompany him to death, and his liver and brain will be ruined. Even his life is not necessary.

, this is the greatest respect, why do you need to worship him?"

It turns out that the reason why I don’t worship is because I have more respect.

Although this argument is a bit strange, it is very reasonable.

"Since the great monk doesn't want to say more, I don't want to ask any more questions."

Liu Yi put away the wine jar and said seriously: "Let's get down to business, the great monk should come up with some substantial benefits, don't talk about these illusory things."

"The poor monk said that the poor monk only has the false reputation of being the best in understanding emptiness. Now I have the right to discuss this matter of emptiness with my Taoist friends."

Subhuti put his hands together, made a Buddhist seal, and said, "I dare to ask my friend, how many exercises have you learned?"

Liu Yi replied: "I come from Qiongyu Realm, my master's name is Ling Qiujian, and my enlightenment mentor is called Tang Jiawen. However, my enlightenment mentor also learned the Taoism of Xuantian Sect. All the techniques I learned are Xuantian

The method of the sect. After becoming an immortal, I practiced the techniques in the "Lanling Taoist Book", which was passed down by Liu Zhenyang, the ancestor of my Liu family."

"Ling Qiujian? Liu Zhenyang? These two poor monks knew each other. Ling Qiujian became a god with the way of sword cultivation, and he was full of sharpness. The ancestor of Taoist friend Liu Zhenyang was also a sharp-edged figure. The Taoism of these two people is both sharp and sharp.

Being determined to forge ahead is not a conflict at the moment.”

Subhuti's eyes suddenly lit up, he frowned, and immediately said, "My friend, how many magic weapons do you have on your body?"

Hearing this, Liu Yi took out many magic weapons one by one.

When Liu Yi was about to take out Jiutianxi soil, he hesitated for a moment, and finally took it out and placed it in front of him. Then he put the Yaochi gold hairpin in his hand and said, "I have a black hairpin."

The prison is hidden in the Dantian, but I can't use this magic weapon for the time being, so I won't show it to the great monk."

Facing the Buddhist Buddha, Liu Yi was not afraid that this person would steal his treasure.

"The Black Prison is the property of Lu Ya. I never thought that that prison would be acquired by Fellow Daoist Liu. Fellow Daoist Liu is really a good opportunity!"

Subhuti nodded, but turned a blind eye to many magic weapons. Even the Jiutian Breathing Ground and the Yaochi Golden Hairpin were not in his eyes. The Buddha actually only opened his eyes wide and stared at the eternal geese.

"Does the great monk recognize Lu Ya?"
