"...Don't do any evil, perform all kinds of good deeds, keep your body upright, have a peaceful mind, cultivate bodhicitta, and be aware of the gods and ghosts. With one thought of kindness, all things will be good. With one heart of kindness, all things will be celebrated. With compassion in your heart, you will save people as well.
Has…"
Under the old willow tree, a fair-skinned monk with kind eyebrows and kind eyes spoke sincerely to the practitioners gathered around him, preaching Buddhist sutras that persuaded people to do good deeds.
However, the practitioners who listened to the sutra didn't seem to be affected at all. They all stared at Monk Bai Jing with evil expressions, as if they wanted to eat the monk alive.
"That's the monk!"
Bai Ling'er suddenly pointed at the monk and shouted.
The angry voice attracted the attention of everyone under the old willow tree, and they all turned their heads to look over. When their eyes fell on Zhang Xiaozu, they quickly stood up, straightened their clothes, stepped forward to greet Zhang Xiaozu, and saluted Zhang Xiaozu respectfully, "
See the Lord of Kyushu!"
The leader of this group of people is Su Qiufeng, the ancestor of the Tao Fa Sect.
Zhang Xiaozu smiled and waved his hand, "You don't have to be polite."
Bai Ling'er was stunned for a moment, then suddenly turned her head to look at Zhang Xiaopou beside her. Her small cherry mouth opened in a round shape in shock, and an excited and frightened voice came out of her throat, "You - you -
"
"Yes, I am Zhang Xiaozu, the Lord of the Nine Provinces." Zhang Xiaozu smiled at Bai Ling'er and helped her speak out.
Bai Ling'er's face suddenly turned red, and she immediately arranged her clothes in a hurry, walked quickly to the front of Zhang Xiaozu, bowed respectfully and said, "Little girl Bai - Bai Ling'er, cf - see Lord of Kyushu! Little girl
I have little knowledge and do not recognize your dignity. I am disrespectful and offensive. I am guilty and deserve to die!"
She was so excited and scared that her voice trembled involuntarily.
"Haha, you don't have to be so nervous. I, the Lord of the Nine Provinces, can't eat people. Besides, you're not rude, so what's the crime?" Zhang Xiaozhu smiled and waved his hand at Bai Ling'er, angrily.
He lifted him up vigorously.
Bai Ling'er smiled cautiously, her hands still pinching the hem of her skirt nervously.
"You are born with the ability to listen to the voices of all things. However, I don't know much about this aspect, and I can't give you a detailed answer. However, my husband has done deep research on this aspect, and I believe she will be able to give you a detailed answer.
, but she is not here now. If you don’t mind it, you can stay in Liujiacun temporarily. I will send someone to invite Mr. Zhang to come over." Zhang Xiaozhu said.
Bai Ling'er quickly waved her hand and said, "I dare not trouble my lord, just tell me where your husband is, and I will go visit his old man."
"You can't find her." Zhang Xiaozu said.
"Then I - then I'll wait outside for the old man to come over, and I won't go into the village to disturb him."
"Little girl, are you being stupid? When an opportunity appears in front of you, you have to have quick eyes and quick hands to seize it." Su Qiufeng suddenly said.
Bai Ling'er was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was a kind reminder to her that living in Liujia Village was a great opportunity and she had to seize it. She was not stupid, so she was immediately awakened and looked at Zhang Xiaozu.
He said, "The little girl dared to go into the village and cause trouble."
"There are many vacant courtyards in the village. You can choose one to live in," Zhang Xiaozu said.
Su Jin is very likely to accept Bai Ling'er as his disciple. When the time comes, he and Bai Ling'er will be brothers and sisters, and he will naturally not turn Bai Ling'er away.
"Thank you!" Bai Ling'er saluted Zhang Xiaopeng, then turned around and saluted Su Qiufeng gratefully.
Zhang Xiaozu nodded slightly, then looked at Su Qiufeng and asked, "Mr. Su, what's going on with you...?"
When Su Qiufeng heard this, he looked angry and raised his finger to point at Monk Baijing.
He said in a deep voice, "This monk is spreading alarmism everywhere, saying that the doomsday disaster will come back again and everyone will die in response to the disaster, which makes people panic.
The old man wanted to slap him to death, but in the end this guy came to hide in your place. The old man didn't want to kill people in your place, and he didn't want him to continue to confuse people's hearts, so he blocked him here so that he couldn't go anywhere.
As a result, this guy kept chanting sutras for us twelve hours a day, buzzing and buzzing, and it almost drove us crazy."
The other cultivators nodded after hearing this.
Zhang Xiaopou laughed dumbly and understood why Su Qiufeng and others were surrounding the monk, but instead of listening to the scriptures, they were staring at the monk with a fierce expression.
After laughing, he looked at Monk Bai Jing and said, "Little monk, long time no see."
This white monk was none other than the young monk he knew.
However, the young monk was not as happy and affectionate as before when he saw him. Instead, he put his hands together and bowed and said, "I have been looking for a donor for a long time."
Zhang Xiaozu couldn't help but frown, stared at the little monk's eyes for a while, and asked in a deep voice, "You are not the little monk, you are Ksitigarbha, and you have usurped the little monk's soul?"
"Amitabha!" The little monk smiled and shook his head and said, "The little monk is me, Ksitigarbha is me, the little monk is Ksitigarbha, Ksitigarbha is the little monk, the me in the past life, the me in this life and the me in the future life,
It’s all me.”
Zhang Xiaozhu narrowed his eyes slightly and said with an unhappy expression, "Since it was you in the past life and this life, then why did you in the past life dominate your thoughts in this life? Why don't you let this life dominate your thoughts in the past life?"
"The donor is in charge, they are all mine, no one dominates anyone else." The young monk said with a smile.
"Nonsense!" Zhang Xiaozhu refuted mercilessly, "You in the previous life are just like you yesterday, and you in this life are just like you today. Yesterday is
In the past, today is the master, so how can there be no difference?"
"Amitabha, how was your life yesterday, what you are experiencing today, how it will be tomorrow, what you are doing today."
"So today is the master." Zhang Xiaopou said.
The young monk slowly shook his head and said, "The donor talked about today's cause and tomorrow's result, but he forgot yesterday's cause and today's result, which is one-sided. The self in this life is the result of the cause in the previous life, and the self in this life determines the future result. This is good."
Whether it’s bad, smelly or fragrant, it’s all me.”
"Lord, don't talk nonsense to him. This guy is the best at beating around the bush. He can knock people out with just a few words. Let me just slap him to death, lest he make alarmist remarks all day long and disturb people's hearts." Su Qiufeng Bu Bu.
He said patiently.
Zhang Xiaozu also discovered that if he said one thing, the young monk had ten sentences waiting for him, but he couldn't say it at all.
He looked into the little monk's eyes, which were still as pure as before, but had a depth that was not there before, making it impossible to see through them anymore.
"I knew it!"
Zhang Xiaozhu suddenly said something in annoyance, and his mood became very bad.
When he handed Ksitigarbha Ksitigarbha's bones and cassocks to the young monk that day, he had a premonition that the young monk would probably be replaced by Ksitigarbha God after his awakening. Now that it had really come true, he couldn't help feeling upset and blaming himself, feeling that he was responsible for his own harm.
The little monk.
But that day, the young monk performed forbidden magic and his life was in danger. Only the cassock and bones of Ksitigarbha God could save him, so he had no choice.
The young monk seemed to understand the distress in Zhang Xiaozhu's heart, and said in a comforting voice, "Amitabha, the donor does not have to blame himself, everything has been destined long ago, and the poor monk has no complaints or regrets."
Zhang Xiaozu looked at the young monk and couldn't tell whether this sentence was said by the young monk or by Ksitigarbha.
When the young monk left Liujia Village that day, he once said that he would sacrifice himself for all sentient beings and have no regrets.
