"How long have you been staying in the Heavenly Saint Perfection Realm?" Zhang Xiaozu asked casually after awakening the divine bones for Feng Yuxiu.
When Feng Yuxiu heard this, his eyes immediately showed hope, and he replied, "I have been stuck at this bottleneck for more than two years. Does the Marquis have a magic trick that can help him break through the bottleneck?"
Zhang Xiaozhu said, "There are many miraculous pills in Tianwaitian that can help break through the bottleneck, but I came back in a hurry, and those miraculous pills are extremely precious. I couldn't bring back one or two, but I know how to refine them, and I will list the prescriptions for you later."
, if you can gather them all, I will refine a pot of elixir for you."
Feng Yuxiu was overjoyed when he heard this. He hurriedly saluted Zhang Xiaopeng and said, "Then I'll trouble you, Lord Marquis."
Zhang Xiaozu waved his hand and said, "It's easy to do, no need to be polite."
In fact, there are many Star Chasing Pills in his void space. Some of them were refined when he and Yan Mingchao were testing the pill formulas, and some were robbed in Tianyue Sect. The reason for giving Feng Yuxiu the pill formulas was to borrow his hand to see.
Let’s see if we can find the elixir to refine high-level elixirs after the spiritual energy of Kyushu is revived.
…
"Little monk, can you feel whose cassock and beads belong to you?"
Zhang Xiaozu asked after awakening the sacred bones for the young monk.
The young monk shook his head, frowned slightly and said, "Although the young monk doesn't know which monk's magic weapon they are, they feel very familiar to the young monk. It seems that he has seen them before somewhere, but he can't remember them."
Zhang Xiaozu said, "This is the magical weapon of Ksitigarbha. It was the remaining thoughts of him after he passed away that asked me to pass them on to you. There is also this Sumeru rosary, which contains Buddhist scriptures."
He took out the rosary bead from the void space and handed it to the young monk.
"Amitabha!"
The young monk suddenly stood up, straightened his appearance, and then kneeled down to Zhang Xiaopeng with a solemn expression.
To be more precise, he knelt down towards the rosary.
He held his hands and respectfully took the rosary from Zhang Xiaozu's hand, then put his forehead on the rosary and kowtowed three times to the ground.
"Who is this holy monk from Ksitigarbha?" Zhang Xiaozu asked curiously.
The young monk straightened up, put away his rosary, and said, "Ksitigarbha, also known as the Great Wish Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, is one of the four great Bodhisattvas in ancient Buddhism. In his past lives, he saved himself from hell several times.
The suffering mother knew very well that sinful and suffering sentient beings were suffering in hell, so she made a vow in front of the Buddha to save all sentient beings in the six realms and save them from suffering. Only when there are no more innocent and suffering people in hell will she wish to become a Buddha. Later generations said that
He said that if hell is not empty, he will never become a Buddha. This is what he is referring to. Great Virtue Bodhisattva."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaozhu couldn't help but feel a sense of respect for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but frown, thinking that the six paths of reincarnation are endless, how could hell be empty?
If hell is not empty, then wouldn’t this Bodhisattva have to run on the road of enduring suffering forever?
That would be too hard.
Zhang Xiaozhu didn't want the young monk to live such a miserable life, so he suddenly regretted giving the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's magical weapon to the young monk.
In fact, if the young monk had not been struck by the forbidden curse that day, and his soul and body were about to perish, he would have been unable to save him, so he had no choice but to hand over Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's magical weapon to the young monk, otherwise he might have refused.
Do this.
Because he guessed that the young monk was most likely the reincarnation of Ksitigarbha. No matter how great Ksitigarbha was, he was closer to the young monk. If the young monk awakened the memory of Ksitigarbha, would he still be a young monk?
?
I'm afraid not anymore.
The little monk will only become a short journey in the memory of Ksitigarbha's spiritual consciousness.
In his opinion, the little monk is not Ksitigarbha, and Ksitigarbha has no right to obliterate him. He is a unique existence in the world, and he is the naughty little monk in their hearts who steals wine and meat and tastes forbidden fruits.
"Can you return the cassock and Buddhist beads to me?"
Zhang Xiaozu suddenly asked.
"ah?"
The little monk looked at Zhang Xiaozu in surprise.
The great monk and Qinglian Taoist next to him also looked surprised.
"You are most likely the reincarnation of Ksitigarbha. If he wakes up in reincarnation, you will be gone. I don't care whether the world needs Ksitigarbha to save you. I only know that you are our little junior brother and no one can hurt you.
You, even if he is a Bodhisattva, is your previous life." Zhang Xiaozhu said bluntly.
The young monk clasped his hands together and gave a deep salute to Zhang Xiaozu. He opened and closed his lips, wanting to express all the emotions and gratitude in his heart to Zhang Xiaozu, but in the end, only four words came out of his mouth: "Amitabha."
After a pause, he said, "My master was attacked by evil spirits in order to save me, and passed away early.
A few years ago, the evil energy in my body leaked out. In order to save me, the old Zen Master Wanxiang and the eminent monks in the temple
All of them sacrificed themselves several times and transformed into Buddha Dharma to suppress the evil spirits in my body.
If I can welcome the great virtuous Bodhisattva who saves all sentient beings back to his throne, how can I dare to live for my own selfish desires?
The old Zen master, family teachers and eminent monks can sacrifice themselves for me, why can't I sacrifice myself for all living beings?
Brother Zhang, you are the wisest, if you were me, what would you do?"
Zhang Xiaozhu didn't know how to retort. After a moment of silence, he frowned and said like a scoundrel, "I don't care. Anyway, you are you, not him or anyone else. I regretted it. Please return the cassock and beads to me."
After saying that, regardless of whether the young monk agreed or not, he reached out and grabbed the young monk.
The young monk seemed to have been prepared. He ducked and stepped back dozens of steps. He smiled at Zhang Xiaopeng and said, "Brother Zhang, there is no reason to take back the things you sent out. You can't lose your identity as the third master of the big bandit."
The young monk suddenly remembered that there was something urgent in the temple, so he stayed shortly and went first."
Zhang Xiaozu looked at the little monk who turned around and left with a helpless smile, and then asked loudly, "I brought a lot of good wine and meat from Tianwaitian. Why don't you stay here to drink and eat?"
Everyone was speechless after hearing this, thinking that Zhang Xiaopou was tempting the young monk to commit a crime.
But I heard the young monk laughing and replying, "Junior brother, I am greedy. Remember to leave some for me. If we meet again one day, I will have a drink with you all."
Zhang Xiaozhu's eyes suddenly turned red when he heard this.
The young monk calls himself Junior Brother, not Junior Monk, which means that if one day he comes to have a drink with them, it will be his farewell to his life.
Zhang Xiaozu looked at the young monk's disappearing figure, suddenly clenched his fists, and said to himself, "Who is a Bodhisattva? Ksitigarbha can be a Bodhisattva, and so can a young monk. I think the young monk is more pleasing to the eye."
If his disrespectful words were spread to Leiyin Temple in Chuanzhou or Leiyin Temple in Gunan, they would probably be regarded as evil spirits by the monks.
Sighing, Zhang Xiaozu put away his sadness, looked at the great monk and Taoist Qinglian and said, "You two are too slow in your cultivation."
The great monk's expression froze, and he said with shame, "I have spent these years traveling with Qinglian, and I have neglected my practice. It is indeed inappropriate."
Taoist Qinglian said, "It's not that we practice too slowly, but that you practice too fast."
Zhang Xiaozhu shook his head and said with a smile, "The cultivation I am talking about is not just cultivation, but the cultivation of husband and wife. When can we achieve the great path and give birth to a child?" Woolen cloth?"
Taoist Qinglian smiled and spat at Zhang Xiaopeng, and said angrily, "If you dare to make fun of me, Senior Sister, I think you have an itchy skin and want to be beaten."
As he spoke, he raised his hand to make a gesture to fight.
Zhang Xiaozu quickly admitted his mistake and begged for mercy, but his eyes kept glancing at the monk. He felt that the senior sister must have wanted a child in her heart, and the monk must have not followed the path, so he must be awakened.
The great monk scratched his bald head awkwardly and whispered with a red face, "It'll be soon, it'll be soon."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaozhu cast a proud look at Taoist Qinglian, as if to say, "Senior sister, am I awesome?"
Taoist Qinglian laughed happily.
…
"How's it going? Do you like it?"
After Zhang Xiaozu awakened the divine bones for Qi Yoyo and Zhang Tianci, he took out the human-shaped jade pendant carved from the piece of jade given to him by the Death God and gave it to them.
"Wow, it's so beautiful. Dad, did you carve it?"
Zhang Tianci shouted in surprise.
Zhang Xiaozu nodded and said, "Dad carved it according to the way he looked when he met you in his dream. Do you like it?"
"I like it." Zhang Tianci nodded repeatedly.
"What about me?" Qi Yoyo asked with a smile.
Her jade pendant looks like a majestic general wearing helmet and armor.
"Of course it was carved according to your heroic appearance when you were a general. Let's see if it's exactly the same?" Zhang Xiaozu asked.
"Was I so majestic at that time?" Qi Yoyo caressed the jade pendant fondly.
This jade pendant is not just a gift in her heart, but Zhang Xiaozhu's longing for her in a foreign land these years. The fact that Zhang Xiaozhu can carve her so lifelike at least shows that Zhang Xiaozhu has always had her in his heart.
"Mom, you are so cool!" Zhang Tianci looked at the jade pendant in Qi Yoyo's hand and exclaimed, "It seems that my great grandfather was right. My father was really one of your top soldiers back then."
"Nonsense!" Zhang Xiaozu raised his hand and knocked Zhang Tianci on the forehead, correcting him, "Your father and I are the bravest general under General Qi!"
In the distance, Ye Mingyue saw the scene of a family of three laughing, and couldn't help but feel a little sad. She didn't know when Zhang Xiaozu carved the jade pendants for Qi Yoyo and Zhang Tianci, and he didn't carve one for her either.
"(Wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and good health to your family!)"
