: This Life and Past Life (4) "Did you really not see it? It's right behind that fox demon, not far behind the entrance of your cave..." Hearing Zhang Qi's question, Ksitigarbha Ksitigarbha

The Bodhisattva did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically:

When Zhang Qi heard Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's rhetorical question, Zhang Qi looked in the direction pointed by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. He saw the fox about a few meters behind the entrance of the cave.

Not far behind the demon, a lily coiled on the stone wall suddenly appeared there, but this lily looked inconspicuous among the dense woods and flowers, because her blooming flowers were not

It is very beautiful, and even if it is seen by others, it will never attract anyone to stop and admire it. However, this inconspicuous lily can only bloom for four or five months at most, but it has withstood a year.

The wind and rain of the four seasons, and even the biting cold of winter, did not make her withered and decadent. Even when the big trees around her had only bare branches left, this lily still held up.

Standing in the cold wind with her thin branches and leaves, even if her flowers are no longer bright and even withered, it does not prevent her from surviving.

"This...this lily is..." Seeing this obviously unique lily, Zhang Qi asked Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in confusion.

"People often only care about those people who care about them on the surface and can give them the most practical help, but they just ignore those people around them who care about them silently and don't even expect anything in return. But once they encounter danger or critical moments,

The latter is the most real existence, and the person who can best come forward to help you is like this lily. In fact, when you came here to practice Taoism, she was here, and her appearance was far more powerful than that fox demon.

It would have been a long, long time ago, but as a flower that can be seen everywhere, she cannot move or show her charm, so she is ignored by everyone, even if she blooms the most beautiful flowers in the middle of summer,

But after all, she couldn't get your attention. On the contrary, it was the demon fox who got your special love because of her previous devotion to Buddhism. Even after you discovered that she gained spiritual consciousness because of you and thus developed spirituality, you still

You led her to your place of cultivation, so that she can better experience your Dharma, so that she can eventually become a spirit fox in the fairy world..." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said, he couldn't help but sigh, and shook his head.

Said to Zhang Qi again

"But things went against expectations. After this demon fox entered your dojo, she seemed to have forgotten that your original intention of introducing him here was to hope that she could successfully attain Taoism and become a real spirit fox who could help the world, not just a spirit fox.

Demon fox, of course you have seen everything about this demon fox, but she has already formed spiritual consciousness. If you let her go, she will definitely become a demon fox and even endanger the human world, so you can only

I can keep her by your side, I hope you can influence her so that she can change this state."

"But even if this demon fox doesn't want to make progress, what does this have to do with that lily? What does it have to do with my reincarnation in a different world except for the Venerable Arhat? I... I still don't understand..." See

So, Zhang Qi asked in a low voice

"Of course, you see..." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said, and with a wave of his hand, the scene in front of Zhang Qi changed slightly. Although it was still the cave where he practiced Taoism, it gave people the feeling

But a long time has passed, and the only thing that remains unchanged may be the lily behind the cave, because at this time, the demon fox has entered the cave and is accompanying Master Miaofa Zizizi, who is Zhang Qi, all day long.

Previous life...

"Lilies are originally plants. If they want to generate their own spirituality and have the consciousness of animals and humans, then the cultivation they have to do is much higher than those of animals, because for them, non-human beings, it is impossible to cultivate human beings.

The consciousness of human beings is a kind of cultivation that defies heaven. This is why human cultivation is far easier than that of animals. Most of the animals can only become evil spirits and cannot finally achieve enlightenment. But for those plants that are inherently lifeless, their cultivation is far easier than that of animals.

It is much more difficult for those animals. Apart from chance and coincidence, the only thing left is time, and this time in front of you is exactly when this lily is about to transform into a human form and become an earthly immortal...

At this time, Lily Fairy not only has human consciousness, but also possesses a certain amount of mana. However, because it takes decades or even centuries of mana to transform into a human form, normally speaking, the transformation is

After that, she must rest for a long time to finally recover." Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said, pointed to the distance, and then continued.

"But at this time, several real demons appeared in the mountains and forests. They have been demons for hundreds of years and have accumulated deep grudges and killings. These demons are trying to occupy this pure land in the mountains and forests, and the biggest obstacle that prevents them from occupying this place is

, and naturally it is you as the Venerable Arhat in the Buddhist world. When they wanted to sneak attack on your cave, because the Lily Flower Fairy, as a member of nature, has the ability to perceive nature, he had already sensed their

is approaching, and at this time, you are still concentrating on practicing Taoism and have no idea that the danger is approaching. The Lily Flower Fairy who is deeply aware of your Dharma is grateful to you. In order to inform you that the danger is approaching, he even spends his whole life.

She has the power to forcibly transform into a human form, because only in this way can the Flower Fairy, who is always imprisoned in the soil, be able to move herself. However, after all, Lily Flower Fairy's Taoism is limited, and transforming into a human form requires almost all the mana, so when she transforms

When she emerged from the human form, her body was already extremely weak, and even the most basic walking had become a problem. At this time, those evil spirits had approached the cave and discovered the Lily Fairy's move to warn you.

, so they hurriedly chose to attack the Lily Fairy, hoping to get rid of her outside the cave, thereby preventing the already weak Lily Fairy from being able to withstand such an attack. It was just a face-to-face encounter, not yet.

Lily Fairy, who had no time to feel the world, was already dying, with dark red blood covering her body and face. However, fortunately, at this moment, the demon fox happened to come out of the cave, and did not give any blow to those demons.

Another opportunity to attack, although this demon fox was no less inferior to those demons, it still struggled to save the dying Lily Fairy into the cave. Seeing the demon fox retreating into the cave, the demons knew their own fate.

The action may have been exposed, so I had to flee in a hurry..."

"Is this... is this over? Or..." Zhang Qi couldn't help but wonder again when he heard this, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

He shook his head and said again in a low voice

"No, of course it's not over, because it was at this time that you heard the sound of fighting outside the cave and came to the entrance from the depths of the cave. You happened to see the Lily Fairy lying on her body, with her hands and face covered in blood.

The demon fox who is trying to save the life of Lily Flower Fairy"

"A fox demon that was originally wild and untamed, fearing to cause harm to the human world, now had its face and hands covered with blood. Under her body, a woman who had transformed into a human form was also lying there dying with blood all over her body.

, life is in danger. Seeing such a scene, you mistakenly thought that the demon fox attacked the Orion family in the nearby mountains and forests. You did not ask how the woman was injured, nor did you ask who the blood on the demon fox was.

Yes, of course, you didn’t give this demon fox a chance to explain the situation, so you immediately launched your spell to attack it.”

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said, the situation at that time appeared again in Zhang Qi's situation. A golden light suddenly appeared between the hands of the Master Miaofa Zizi, and it passed through in an instant. He was unprepared, or did not expect it at all.

Such a thing happened to the body of the demon fox, and the demon fox who was attacked like this immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and fell next to the Lily Fairy. The injury was even more serious than the Lily Fairy's. After all, the attack on the Lily

The immortals were just a few monsters who attacked in a panic, and the one who attacked this monster fox was an Arhat from the Buddhist world in the West. This was not an attack on the same level at all.

"You evil beast, you are unrepentant. My Buddhist teachings help you gain spirituality, but you are ungrateful. Instead of benefiting all things in the human world, you harm the world and are murderous. Today, I will do justice for heaven, except for you..."

After seeing the demon fox being hit by him, Venerable Miaofa Zizai stepped forward and said to the fox demon.

But who would have thought that Venerable Miaofa Zizi had not finished his words at all. His words were interrupted by the demon fox who was dying and seemed to be breathing out but not taking in. He said, "Venerable... Venerable, little... be careful...

There’s a demon outside…”

The demon fox was using her last bit of strength to remind Venerable Miaofa Zizi, but who knew that her words would become the last words she said to Venerable Miaofa Zizi, because at this moment, just now

The demons who fled because of the appearance of the demon fox turned back and attacked the equally unsuspecting Venerable Miaofa Zizai, who was standing not far from the entrance of the cave. When the demon fox, who knew the situation, saw this,

Regardless of his serious injury, he didn't care that Venerable Miaofa Zizai had just attacked him, and he suddenly jumped up and stood in front of Venerable Miaofa Zizai. At this moment, several black circles of light hit him in an instant.

On the demon fox

Yes, the demon fox used his own body and exhausted his last breath to block the full blow of the returning monsters against the Venerable Miaofa Zizi. And it was just such an attack.

This completely caused this demon fox, which might have had only a glimmer of life left, to completely die.

However, facing the situation of this demon fox, Master Zizai, who already knew that he had misunderstood the demon fox's wonderful method, could not take care of the demon fox who had just blocked a blow for him, and he had no chance to do anything for her.

What, because in front of Venerable Miaofa Zizai, in addition to this demon fox and the injured Lily Flower Fairy, there were also several demons who had been practicing for nearly a thousand years. At this time, they found that their sudden attack did not work again.
