In the inner courtyard, as the chanting ended, everyone quickly dispersed.
Li Su also breathed a sigh of relief. Although this was a little different from the temple life he expected, at least it was only once a week, only four times a month, and only forty-eight times a year. It was okay...what a ghost.
ah.
Although the problem is not big at this stage, Li Su has already felt it, very clearly. His Dao Fruit and roots have been completely rooted, there is no more room on his body, and his understanding of the Amitabha Sutra has reached its limit.
The situation, at least at this stage, cannot continue.
Therefore, the buds on the Tao Fruit have begun to sprout and grow on their own.
As soon as today, or at the latest two days, his Tao Fruit will bloom.
Once the Tao Fruit blossoms and the magic power arises on its own, what is the concept of reciting the Amitabha Sutra in conjunction with his understanding of it?
We had to find a way. Li Su didn't want to become Fa Zhao, be watched by others, and not be free.
"That's right, senior brother!" Fazhao, who had already gone out, suddenly turned around and said.
"Huh? What?"
"Master said that after you finish chanting here, let me take you to the main hall."
"Main hall? What's the matter with the abbot?" Li Su raised his eyebrows. Fazhao's master was different from him, so why should he go there? Could it be that he was going to be kicked out of the master's school because he had not opened the iron tree for ten years? No way.
?Is this also the case in Buddhism? You must know that when Taoist sects chase people away, it is not because they have poor talent, but because if they continue, it will be a waste of life. After all, Taoist sects pursue immortality, which is fundamentally different from Buddhism.
.
What Buddhism seeks is to refine the mind. If the iron tree does not bloom, it is also a kind of Tao fruit. Therefore, the more this is the case, the more we must practice.
Fazhao also looked puzzled, shook his head and said, "Well, I don't know, that's what the master informed me." However, with his Buddha nature, it's not surprising to ask him to do anything, even if he is asked to preside over it starting tomorrow.
I am afraid that no one in the entire Pure Land Sect would reject the morning chanting of sutras in the Pure Land Sect, but instead would welcome it.
Once a week, it was actually the order given by the master himself, that no one was allowed to disturb senior brother Fa Hai, otherwise senior brother would have been called to the main hall to preside over the ceremony half a year ago.
Li Su put down the broom and didn't care. He went to see what was going on.
"Okay, let's go then."
The two of them walked side by side towards the main hall.
Along the way, seeing this scene, the eyes of many disciples of the Fahai generation who had not dispersed could not help but light up, and they went to the main hall? Is it possible that the abbot finally planned to let senior brother Fahai preside over the morning class?
Although I listened to it once a week and twenty-four times in six months, it was obviously not enough.
Brother Fahai's Daoguo, his understanding, his Buddhist heart, Buddhist principles, and Buddha's will have such a huge impact on everyone. That kind of serenity will never be forgotten once you try it once. Daoguo can't bear it.
Constantly vibrating is the supreme understanding of the Amitabha Sutra.
I felt that the eyes of the disciples around him were very strange, and Li Su became more and more uneasy as he walked away.
What's going on? Is it possible that you were exposed?
With a sense of uneasiness, he and Fazhao came to the main hall. At this moment, Li Su felt that the originally grand and majestic main hall had turned into the Demon-Conquering Hall. There was no longer Sakyamuni inside, but a head with a bloody mouth.
guy.
Illusion? Is this my illusion?
Li Su's eyelids twitched for a while, and he had the urge to run away, but it was obvious that he was already here and it was too late to retreat.
After all, although he has the Tao Fruit, his physical strength is amazing, no, it should be said to be inhuman, but there is no doubt that he is still just a mortal.
Just die...!
Li Su took a breath and lowered his head resignedly. Why? He hid it very well. Why would the master notice him? Yes, it is Fa Zhao. That's right. It is Fa Zhao. Everything is Fa Zhao.
wrong.
Soon, we entered the main hall.
A wisp of aroma came, and not only Li Su but also Fazhao couldn't help but look up at the place where the smell came from.
woman...?
Putting aside her appearance, why is there a woman here? And the other person’s identity is obviously not a bhikshuni, but an ordinary woman, so why is the other person here?
"Are you here?" Abbot Master Chengyuan smiled.
"Yes, Master!" Fazhao clasped his hands together and bowed.
"Disciple Fahai, I have met the abbot." Li Suye clasped his hands together, bowed and spoke.
"Yes!" Master Chengyuan nodded and said, "Fa Hai!"
"Here!" Li Su raised his head, with doubts in his eyes. What was the matter with the abbot looking for him?
"This is Qian Huitan Yue. Because something bad happened at home. Based on the reported situation, we speculate that a demon entered her home, and the lurking demon is extraordinary and powerful. Now in the master's sect,
Now that the older generation cannot leave, the Pure Land Sect can only be entrusted to you."
At this moment, not only Li Su was stunned, but Fazhao was also stunned. Senior brother removes demons? Indeed, monks of the Pure Land Sect have this business, but there is no doubt that senior brother has never left the school. The most important thing is that senior brother’s
The Dao Fruit has not bloomed yet, and according to the master's wishes, the person in the other house is probably a big demon. How can we let the senior brother go there? At least we should let other senior brothers who are quite amazing go there, right?
Immediately, Fazhao couldn't help but wanted to say something.
Li Su was also surprised and looked at the abbot in confusion, is this old monk? Is he crazy? Why did you ask me to go? I haven't even finished the Dao fruit yet? Kill a demon? Or a big demon? Is this a serious disease?
?Way, 120? Please come here immediately, there is a psycho here...!
However, before the two of them could speak, Master Chengyuan smiled and said: "Fahai, is your Taoist fruit about to bloom? It is expected that it will be almost there tomorrow at the latest..."
When Li Su heard this, his heart couldn't help but he couldn't help it. Damn..., it was really seen.
But okay, okay, I just saw the progress of my practice. After all, he didn't hide it. But can I still see the Tao Fruit without blooming? Well, I learned...
"I know that you uphold the Buddha wholeheartedly and don't want to be contaminated by the world of mortals, but... well, I'm just here to tell you whether to go or not. You can decide by yourself tomorrow after the fruit of Tao blooms. If you still don't want to at that time.
, I’ll let others go.”
Master Chengkong smiled and said, "Okay, please step back first."
Li Su had a weird look on his face and stared at the abbot of our sect for a long time. This is no longer a mental illness, but a snake spirit disease, right? My brain is rusty. I don't practice peacefully, but I want to go out and kill monsters? No.
In the next door, you can obtain materials by killing monsters. Buddhism doesn’t pay attention to that, right?
Immediately, Li Su saluted and retreated.
"Master!" Seeing Brother Fahai leave, Fazhao couldn't help but speak, with a puzzled look on his face.
Master Chengkong shook his head, turned to look at the woman and said: "Qian Tanyue, you should return directly with the original team. It is best to pass the message directly. With the ability of my disciple, Hangzhou should be here in a week at most.
Able to arrive.”
The woman was stunned. A week? Are you kidding me? They came from Hangzhou, and it took them more than half a month to ride horses and carriages, and they also took the official road... However, thinking of the ability shown by Zen Master Fahai, the woman couldn't help but take a breath.
, she nodded, without saying anything more, and said directly: "I understand, I will leave now and send someone to inform Mr. Shufu to receive the little master Fahai."
"Yes!" Master Chengyuan nodded and stopped talking.
The woman left quickly.
Finally there was no one around, so Fazhao was about to speak.
Master Chengyuan suddenly said: "Your senior brother Fahai is different from you, and different from most disciples of the Pure Land Sect."
Fazhao was startled.
"The Buddha he requested cannot be achieved in the Pure Land Sect."
"ah?"
Master Chengyuan smiled and closed his eyes. Yes, there is no way to succeed. As a Buddhist disciple of the Pure Land Sect that has not been born for thousands, no, ten thousand years, the World Honored Enlightenment..., the Buddha of Fahai
How can the road be completed by sitting down?
Are you kidding me? That’s a Buddhist country!!!
Six months ago, when a strange phenomenon appeared on Li Su, the first people to be alarmed were Chengyuan and his master, the monk Shandao.
They had already made some guesses, but when the other party's magical power showed up, they realized how terrifying Fahai's understanding really was.
It is actually the fundamental teaching of the Amitabha Sutra..., the Pure Land Buddha Kingdom!!
Although the Amitabha Sutra is not the highest sutra of the Pure Land Sect, it does contain this sentence.
Those who practice Buddha Sutras may not necessarily become Buddhas, but those who can achieve the Buddha Kingdom must be the World Honored One!
The Zhejiang side can basically be said to be the road that Fahai must take. It will be impossible if we don’t take it!
There is no doubt that the Pure Land Buddhist Kingdom has great supernatural powers, and the power of the Dharma is boundless. A Pure Land Sect can live without worries for thousands of years, but to be honest, the Pure Land Sect cannot afford to support such people...
******
Returning to his own room, Li Su couldn't help but discount his price. Although he felt that the abbot was definitely a psychopath, the other party's determined tone made him feel a little uneasy?
Why? Why would you definitely go there after your Tao Fruit blossoms? It doesn’t make sense and there’s no reason?
This is obviously against his character.
But... Buddhism practices the most important thing about cause and effect. The old monk dared to say that Li Su had some heart palpitations, and it seemed that he couldn't do it unless he went away.
After being restless for a while, Li Su took a deep breath, ignored it, and bloomed first.
He sat down cross-legged, and with a slight thought, he focused his thoughts on his Tao Fruit and began to push the Tao Fruit to bloom.
As the thought arose, the Tao Fruit in Li Su's body suddenly started to feel. The roots trembled, swallowing nutrients, and the buds started to sprout.
Very quickly, very quickly, very quickly.
Normally, it takes ten and a half days for one flower to bloom.
But when I arrived at Li Su's place, the moment the buds rose up, nine branches bloomed at the same time and began to grow crazily.
A nine-inch branch sprouts nine leaves. As the tip trembles slightly, a flower begins to emerge and slowly opens...
The flower blooms with nine petals and has nine layers.
It’s actually the Lotus of Nine-Nine!
Even though he was prepared, Li Su was still frightened by his situation. He didn't expect it to be so exaggerated.
He has nine branches, nine lotus branches, and nine nine petals. What is the concept of that?
729th floor! It can be regarded as unprecedented and unprecedented, right?
One layer is a powerful force. What is the situation on the 729th floor? I am afraid that just one thought can turn mountains and seas upside down.
For a moment, Li Su couldn't help but feel very excited. He felt that even in this world, his time had come.
The thousand-year-old tree demon and the old Black Mountain demon are all bullshit.
When the Nine Lotus Flowers bloom and his supernatural powers are fully developed, and the Buddha Kingdom emerges, all the tens of thousands of demons and monsters will be conquered by you at once.
After thinking for a while, Li Su suppressed the excitement in his heart, looked at his Dao Fruit Flower, and waited quietly, constantly waiting.
..., why so slow?
Seeing that the first flower only opened two levels and then stopped, and the progress was getting slower and slower, Li Su couldn't help but be stunned.
what's going on?
"Okay, Fahai, please stop first..."
Just when Li Su was very puzzled, a voice came into his ears.
Li Su was stunned, stopped blooming, and opened his eyes.
The next moment, Dan saw that the wing he was in was gone. He could see the sky full of stars when he raised his head. Not only that, when he glanced around, Li Su discovered that the area where he was, which was ten meters in diameter, was actually full of sand?
Damn..., what's going on?
"As expected..."
An old monk came over. It was Master Shandao who had once seen Li Su from a distance. He stood beside Li Su and sighed.
Looking at the old monk, Li Su was startled: "Master?"
Monk Shandao said softly: "Fa Hai, do you know how to divide the realm of Tao and Fruition in Buddhism?"
"Uh..., use the number of lotus flowers as the height, and the number of lotus layers as the width."
The greater the number of flowers, the stronger the power. The more layers per flower, the deeper the power.
"Well, what about other than that?"
"Aside from that?" Li Su was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, not knowing anything more.
"In fact, our Pure Land sect has differences in height and width."
Monk Shandao said softly: "In terms of height, the three lotuses are the Arhat realm, the six lotus realms are the Bodhisattva realm, and the nine lotus realms are the Buddha realm. At the same time, in terms of width, the three lotus realms are the Arhat realm, the sixth lotus realm is the Bodhisattva realm, and the nine lotus realms are
Buddha Power.”
Li Su nodded subconsciously. I see. No wonder the Pure Land Sect has no clear indication of cultivation. From the beginning, the Pure Land Sect has calculated realm and power separately? But what's the point of this?
"The realm is easy to cultivate, but the power is hard to reach!"
???Li Su was stunned. Normally, shouldn't it be the other way around? Shouldn't it mean that the power is easy to cultivate, but the state is difficult to achieve?
"Basically I haven't told you about this, because I guess you won't encounter this kind of situation, but now that you have reached it, I will briefly talk to you."
"The realm is undoubtedly difficult to achieve, but with the current situation in the world, power will undoubtedly be even harder to achieve!"
Monk Shandao raised his head and looked at the boundless aura of demonic energy rising outside the Pure Land Sect, "The world is in chaos, the way of heaven is not revealed, the human heart is like an abyss, and desires are hard to satisfy. With demons everywhere, the aura of heaven and earth has been chaotic, and most of them have been destroyed by demons.
Although the remaining parts can still support daily practice, if you are a person like you who has mastered the power of Buddha, it will be difficult for the Tao Fruit to bloom even.
Because there is not so much power to support your path."
Li Su couldn't help but widen his eyes, and he was stunned in place, haha??? The emotion of my Daoguo was obviously rising at an alarming rate, but it suddenly stopped. What did you think it was? It turned out to be stunted?
This is such a long life!
Shandao said calmly: "You see, just a moment ago, you have wiped out the ten-meter small world. It's a good thing that you stopped. Otherwise, if you continue, you will be robbing this world of vitality..."
Li Su's eyes couldn't help but shrink, and his face couldn't help but change.
No matter what, he is also a Buddhist, so he naturally understands what it means to plunder the vitality of this world?
There is a big cause and effect...!
And it's still the kind that can't even resist.
"Don't worry, what you are using now is the spiritual energy of the Pure Land Sect, and we will replenish it. But if you want to practice next, you will have to think of other methods. After all, no amount of Pure Land Sect can bear it."
Hearing this, Li Su understood, completely.
Having already mentioned this, considering that my father-in-law specifically asked me to go there not long ago, does it need to be mentioned???
Thinking of this, Li Su couldn't help but feel bitterness on his face, it felt cold, it felt cold... it felt completely cold.
Go ahead and play with your eggs until you die...
"Master, please tell me directly, how can I continue to practice?"
"Kill demons, protect people, and save people in need."
Li Su slowly closed her eyes, I knew it, I knew it...
Buddhism's cause and effect, once spoken, has nowhere to go!
Tai, I can tell at a glance that you are not a human being, a monster must die, a mighty dragon...!
The extremely vivid picture couldn't help but appear in his mind, and Li Su's head almost split.
Shan Dao also sighed. From the moment he saw the other person for the first time, he felt that this person's Buddha nature is boundless and his cause and effect are boundless. "Fahai, please think about it carefully... giving up may be a way of thinking."
Choose!"
Li Su took a deep breath, considered? Giving up? Bullshit..., okay, isn't it just killing monsters? It's almost the same as killing monsters in a game..., he doesn't resist this, after all, he has done it a lot,
The reason why I don't want to go is because I don't feel safe.
At this point, what else can be said?
but....
Li Su slowly raised his head, looked at Monk Shandao, and said suddenly: "Master, there is no objection to Fahai when you go out of the mountain, and there is no objection to saving people. But in this world, demons are plundering, and people's hearts are like ghosts. This evildoer deserves to die."
, where is this evil person?”
The good guide was startled for a moment, and then he laughed, "Buddhas act with a firm mind, as long as the mind is calm and without confusion."
Li Su also laughed when he heard this, "Really? Master, I understand. Fahai will come down the mountain right now!"
"Well, let's go! Go to the rolling world of mortals, have a good look! Have a good time!"
"yes!"
Li Su got up directly, without packing anything, and went directly to the main hall. Since the master was here, he thought the abbot should be waiting for him there.
The long dark night is dotted with stars, and the miasma is boundless in the distance.
Li Su was alone when he met the abbot. As expected, he had already prepared a baggage for him. He bowed immediately, picked up the bag, and went down the mountain~!
Stepping down the mountain, the moment at the foot of Fahai is like a mountain of corpses in a sea of blood, with countless demons and heads rolling in.
The two people seeing him off not far away were so shocked that their eyes widened.
Seeing Fahai's figure disappearing little by little under the stairs, Abbot Chengyuan looked back at Monk Shandao. At this moment, his voice was a little dry and he said: "Master, is there really no problem...?"
"What is the problem?"
"Master, don't be ridiculous, don't say you didn't see the cause and effect phenomenon behind that little guy Fa Hai...?"
When Shan Dao heard this, he couldn't help but twitching the corner of his mouth. He felt a little headache. He took a deep breath and said: "Inform all the sects in the world that we, the Pure Land Sect..."
Having said this, he paused.
Chengyuan was stunned, what about the Pure Land Sect?
Shan Dao waved his hand and said with boundless heroic spirit: "From now on, the mountain will be closed for a hundred years, and we will not care about worldly affairs!!!"
Chengyuan was dumbfounded. His century-long practice was a little unstable at this moment, and he felt that his three views had been refreshed.
Shan Dao rolled his eyes angrily, "Who can stop the path of the World Honored One?"
Asceticism is the way, great compassion is the way, rescuing the suffering is the way, and killing all the evildoers in the world is not the way?
There is Buddha Sakyamuni, and there is also King Fudo!
"Master, isn't this a bit...!" Chengyuan felt a little embarrassed.
"Otherwise if something happens, you go down the mountain to solve it??"
Chengyuan was stunned, and couldn't help but recall the moment Fahai left the Pure Land Sect, the endless chains of cause and effect surrounding his feet, and what kind of mountains of corpses and seas of blood emerged... If not for the countless thousands of people behind him.
If a Buddha is born in a family, he will think that the one who is leaving is not a Buddhist from the Lotus Sect, but a giant from the Demon Sect.
"Uh..., I will make arrangements right now. Our Pure Land Sect will close the mountain for a hundred years!!!"

Five thousand words! Then there is the issue of adding more updates... Well, I understand everyone's enthusiasm. In fact... I feel like I am adding more updates every day... After all, five thousand words is considered a normal update...
, no matter how true it is, it is really difficult to grasp the plot, it will turn into a sea, you are all water... The second chapter is still at seven o'clock, and at five o'clock it feels like there is not enough time...!
