Chapter 90 Knowing how to know, an unexpected gift
Tang Sen was considerate and found excuses for them.
How could the monks, who had been monks since childhood, withstand such temptation? Their eyes were wide open, like hungry wolves staring at delicious food.
"Well, the elder is a holy monk from the East. The Dharma is profound. You can't be wrong in thinking about it. There must be hidden Buddhist ideas in this wine and meat that we can't think of. That poor monk is disrespectful." The same monk who stood up said.
After saying that, he made a stool, sat down, and ate happily. While eating, he poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
Originally, it was only Tang Sen's master and apprentice who ate, and the monks could bear it, but when they saw the people they lived with day and night eating, they couldn't help it. Those who had stools brought stools to the table to eat, and those who didn't have stools just grabbed the chicken legs and served them.
He picked up the plate and ate in his hands. The wine table was bustling with people for a while.
Everyone had enough to eat and drink, and all of them collapsed to the ground.
"Holy Monk, aren't we Buddhists who abstain from alcohol and meat? Why don't you?" It wasn't until they finished eating that someone thought to ask.
I thought it was just a perfunctory way to seek some psychological comfort. Everyone ate it and no one could blame anyone else. The law does not punish everyone.
But Tang Sen deliberately teased them and said with a smile.
"Of course it's because I am a holy monk."
The monks looked at him in confusion.
"Do you know that after eating wine and meat, the Buddha still has something left in his heart?"
"If people in the world learn from me, it will be like entering the devil's way."
It's like entering the devil's path! These words immediately stunned all the monks on the spot. They were just curious and greedy, but they never expected that there would be such serious consequences.
"You, you, you also ate it? Aren't you afraid of going to hell?" One person pointed at Tang Sen with a trembling hand, his tone full of panic.
They were really scared. They had been taught to worship and worship Buddha since they were young, so they naturally knew how terrible the eighteen levels of hell were.
According to Buddhist scriptures, it is a place where evildoers are punished. If they make a big mistake, they will go to the eighteen levels of hell and undergo various tortures to repay their sins.
Everyone trembled at the thought of going to hell.
"Me? Can you compare with me? Master Tathagata." Tang Sen said with a smile.
Tathagata? Buddha!
All the monks were astonished like Meng Hongzhong.
In front of me are Buddha's disciples!
"Holy monk, save me, I don't want to go to hell." Some people cried bitterly and kept begging.
When everyone saw this, they begged one after another.
"The holy monk is merciful and begs to save us."
"It's not impossible to save you." Tang Sen said slowly, but deliberately made a mistake.
After waiting to whet everyone's appetite, he said.
"Recite the Purana Sutra silently a hundred times to save the lives you have eaten. I will resist the cause and effect of this matter, but you must sincerely observe the precepts in the future and never do it again."
"The holy monk is compassionate." All the monks present were deeply impressed by Tang Sen's broad-mindedness and benevolence, and sincerely worshiped him.
Then they each went back to the meditation room to recite the Sutra of the Past in silence.
When everyone had dispersed, Zhu Bajie said with a teasing smile.
"Master, why do you tease these monks?"
"Who said this was a joke?" Tang Sen turned around and stared at Zhu Bajie seriously and said.
"Is this true?" Zhu Bajie was stunned.
"The world's good and evil people need to be restrained by etiquette and law to guide people to be good. The same is true for precepts. The law of the jungle is the right way to eat, but going too far is not enough. If you blindly kill innocent people, it will eventually come back to you. This can be considered retribution."
"The most difficult thing in the world is a word. When the water is full, it will overflow. When the moon is full, it will be short. If it is too strong, it will easily break. If it is too strong, it will be easy to get hurt. It's just that the scale is difficult to grasp." Tang Sen sighed,
Turned around and went back to the room.
"What Master said makes sense." Zhu Bajie thought thoughtfully. As a cadre of Heavenly Court in his previous life, he had seen a lot of things. Most of them had this factor, Du.
How many people are so greedy that they lose their lives and souls; how many people whose love remains unchanged end up being tortured; how many people are timid but stop moving forward.
He is not like this, but it is easy to know but difficult to do. How can it be so easy to know and stop?
Although the actions are like this, the words are full of great wisdom. If you can do it, you have surpassed most mortals.
Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing were also thoughtful and understood a little bit, but not much. Only the little white dragon looked stupid and cute and didn't understand anything.
"Master, I have learned a lesson." Zhu Bajie dusted off his clothes, looked at Tang Sen's walking back with a serious face, and respectfully bowed to the disciple salute.
A teacher is someone who preaches, learns and resolves doubts.
He also worked hard for these silly disciples.
He understood this truth only after experiencing it. He couldn't ask for it and couldn't let it go. He had buried so many foolish men and resentful women, princes and nobles in the world.
People's hearts are not all the same. It is a kind of wisdom to accept that things go against your wishes and learn to let go.
In the adult world, we no longer have to change anything. All we can do is make choices. We have exhausted all our strength to free ourselves from the whirlpool.
The difference between good and evil exists in one mind, but the changes in people's thoughts are unpredictable.
After feeling this for a long time, Tang Sen also returned to the meditation room.
The Zen room is quite antique and not too decorated, just a table, a chair, a bed, a futon and an oil lamp.
Tang Sen didn't care. He was not a person who cared about luxury. He practiced as he pleased.
You can sleep in the mountains and forests, you can sleep in this big embroidered pavilion bed. The external objects are just unnecessary things. You can have them, but they are not important.
Tang Sen has long understood this when practicing cultivation and cultivating the mind without being stagnant in things.
Sitting cross-legged on the futon, the room was filled with a touch of sandalwood, which helped him quickly meditate and concentrate.
First, he took stock of his gains from the previous level. Not to mention the three magic weapons, the hidden map in Qingqiu rewarded him with a good treasure. At that time, the situation was urgent and he didn't pay attention. He only discovered it on the way.
Tang Sen reached out from his arms and took out a pendant. It was a tear-shaped ornament, made of blue crystal. It was as mysterious and deep as the sea, and as vast as the starry sky. The stars in it shimmered slightly, and were passed through by Tencel clouds and brocade threads.
Just right to hang around your neck.
It has a nice name - Star Dream, Star Dream.
This is not just an ordinary good-looking ornament, it has the effect of amplifying the owner's charm.
For example, if what you say is more likely to convince others, you will be the priority when making choices. You are more charming and everything will be easier.
Just now in the dining room, Tang Sen tried the effect of Star Dream, and he was very satisfied with the result.
Those monks had no doubts about what he said. His image as an eminent monk was magnified through this treasure, otherwise it would not be so easy for these monks who had become a monk since childhood to break the ordination.
But the effect is too good. If this star dream falls into the hands of Hu Meier, who is good at confusing people, then...
I dare not think about it! The picture is really beautiful.
I don’t know how many people fell under her pomegranate skirt.
This treasure has particularly terrifying effects on people with low cultivation levels, even mortals.
It had to be kept carefully, so Tang Sen carefully put it around his neck, placed it in the middle of the monk's robe, and stored it close to his body.
This star dream itself is already extremely precious, but compared with the magical powers that will be obtained next, it is simply not worth mentioning.
Thinking of this magical power, Tang Sen's heart, which had already calmed down, became excited again.
He also didn't expect to be able to obtain this extremely powerful magical power. The level at Pingding Mountain was ordered by Taishang Laojun, and everyone knew it, but maybe it was because it was so difficult, and the final reward was so generous that he was overjoyed.
This is the famous "One Qi Transforming Three Purities".
That's right, Taiqing Sage's special skill.
It is extraordinary to have 30% of the power of ordinary external incarnation techniques. Most of them are just illusions, used to confuse the enemy. However, this technique of transforming Qi into the Three Purities is a supreme magical power.
One Qi transforms into three pure beings, and can be divided into three clones. Each clone is a complete, independent and real individual, and has 90% of the original cultivation level.
The basic level is 90%. If you practice to the extreme, you can be infinitely close to the cultivation level of the deity.
This is much more powerful than something with three heads and six arms. No, it should be incomparable at all. It is simply a difference between clouds and mud.
This technique of transforming Qi into the Three Pure Ones is the special skill of Taiqing Sage, and no one else in the Three Realms knows it.
But now that we have it, Tang Sen can do it too!
If Tang Sen goes out now and says that he is the direct disciple of Saint Taiqing, no one will doubt that this kind of supreme magical power is impossible to spread to outsiders. Without him, it would be a failure.
Just imagine, you were originally duel, but suddenly there were three big men on the opposite side attacking you inhumanely. Who can stand this?
This system is so awesome, it can achieve this level of magical power.
Tang Sen was extremely excited and silently gave the system a thumbs up in his mind.
The system was unresponsive and pretended to be dead.
The excited Tang Sen didn't care at all. The system had been pretending to be dead for more than a day or two, and it was probably making up for its origins.
The key is that this magical power suits him so well. He has so many magical powers and magic weapons that he is often in a hurry when fighting, and most of them have no time to use.
Now that's good, from now on, everyone will change from one to three, a long-range shooter, a melee warrior, and a mobile turret.
Thinking of this extremely beautiful scene, Tang Sen couldn't help but smile and mourned for his future opponents.
Even if he really can't beat him, as long as one of the three clones can escape, it will be harmless to Tang Sen, and the clone will only take some time to cultivate again.
The rewards in the previous level were unexpectedly rich, but many of them were Laojun's wool, including magic weapons and supernatural powers.
Tang Sen was vaguely worried. This old gentleman knew that he would not have his skin peeled off.
But Tang Sen immediately put this worry behind him, who cares! There will be a way to deal with it when it comes.
The most urgent task now is for practitioners to transform the three pure magical powers in one breath, and use it as their own unique ability to magnify it three times. No, it is not as simple as multiplying by three.
The three clones are properly matched and cooperate with each other, and the effect is much greater than three. Moreover, the three of them have the same mind. Whether they join forces or form a formation, the power is much greater than imagined.
I don’t think about it anymore, my mouth is watering when I think about it anymore, it’s so delicious!
Immediately he meditated quietly and practiced his magical powers with peace of mind.
