Chapter 215 Immortal Cultivators with Common Ideas
The master of Shui Quhai is called "Shifang Zen Master".
This master's method of practice is different from that of others. He is a heterogeneous person, so many monasteries cannot accommodate him. This master also does not like to live in a fixed place to practice. He likes to wander around, seeking knowledge through "walking" and enlightening the Dharma through "knowledge".
Of course, this 'alien' in the eyes of others is very similar to Xu Mo's cultivation theory.
The other party does not want to eat people to practice cultivation, but pays attention to treating people with kindness, and pays attention to doing good deeds without worrying about the future.
This is one of them.
There is also a very important point. This Shifang Zen Master once said: The path of spiritual practice focuses on cultivating the mind, cultivating the nature, and cultivating the body. This is about cultivating oneself as well as others.
It is also said that thoughts of good and evil can be passed on to others. If one does good deeds in the world, those who receive good deeds will also do good deeds. In this way, the world will be good and people's hearts will be virtuous.
After hearing this, Xu Mo nodded, feeling that this was in line with his image of an eminent monk.
Not like the monks Jingxu and Jingkong of Fazen Temple, nor like the fake Buddha of the Thousand-Armed Buddha, who is selfish but still pretending, and has already deviated from the true way of Buddhism.
"Then how did Zen Master Shifang become the Corpse Buddha?" Xu Mo asked.
Although I have some guesses in my mind, I still want to ask clearly.
Shui Quhai said: "My master is willing to help people, and normal things are fine. But if he encounters those weird and harmful people, he is often unable to do anything. He once saw a family of thirteen people being killed by evil spirits.
, but it is difficult to stop it. All that can be done is to chant Buddhist sutras to save the souls of the dead. But Master said, if you practice Buddhism and do not stop evil, what is the difference between it and the evil deeds?"
"So, Master practiced the method of 'food thoughts', swallowed evil, and used Buddhist methods to resolve it. However, as time went by, he was still affected by the resentment about what he had eaten. Perhaps he also knew that 'food thoughts' could not last long, and Master thought hard every day in those days.
, one day he suddenly came to me and said that he had realized the true way to become a Buddha, which is to endure suffering and leave blessings to the people."
Xu Mo nodded after listening and said thoughtfully: "I understand, if I don't go to hell, who will?"
When Shui Quhai listened and tasted it carefully, his eyes lit up and he nodded again and again.
"What Almsgiver Xu said is truly on point."
As for whether Zen Master Shifang really became a Buddha, Xu Mo didn't know because he had been eaten by the doll. Look at the doll, wearing the Five Directions Buddha crown, running around, looking very happy.
Xu Mo didn't ask much about whether Zen Master Shifang had become a Buddha, and Shui Quhai didn't say much about it. Maybe he didn't know it himself.
"My master's condition became worse and worse. His body shriveled up, his mind lost, and he became a corpse Buddha. He usually put it in a bamboo basket and carried it on my back. If he encountered any evil or resentment, he would eat it in the form of Buddhist scriptures for several days.
When I came to this ruined temple before, my master, who had not spoken for several years, suddenly entrusted me with a dream, saying that something evil would come here and asked me to stay."
What happens after that is very simple.
Monk Shui Quhai also obeyed and stayed here. As expected, the Mountain of Resentment descended upon him.
It was only later discovered that this place was dangerous and extremely dangerous, but even if I wanted to leave, I couldn't do it. Therefore, Monk Shui Quhai said before that he was trapped here, which was absolutely correct.
"As for Donor Lu and his friends, they came here later. However, his friend was seriously injured and could not survive. For now, he can only be placed in the temple until the strangeness dissipates and then be buried."
It turns out that this is how the bodies on the ground came to be.
As for the man surnamed Lu, he was an ordinary martial artist. He and his friends made an appointment to attend the birthday party of a famous martial artist. On the way back, they encountered something strange.
His friend was attacked strangely and was seriously injured, so he carried the friend on his back all the way to this place.
It can be considered a lucky one.
Xu Mo observed that the man surnamed Lu had good martial arts skills and could not be called a top-notch master, but his internal strength was also a little bit insignificant. His ability to survive probably had something to do with his extraordinary physique.
At this time, the man surnamed Lu probably also saw that Xu Mo was not a 'bad guy', so he came over and had a very good attitude.
"Mr. Xu, what exactly is this place?" the man surnamed Lu asked boldly.
"Master Shui just said that this is Mount Resentment!"
Xu Mo asked Shui Quhai if he knew more about the Mountain of Resentment. The latter smiled bitterly and shook his head: "My master told me this name in a dream. I am also curious about where this Mountain of Resentment is. My master
, and why do you want me to enter here through a dream?"
Zen masters from all directions have entered the baby's belly, so there is no way to ask this question again.
At this time, Xu Mo began to discuss the way of cultivation with monk Shui Quhai and exchange experiences. Shui Quhai also practiced martial arts, but mainly practiced Buddhism.
The practice of Buddhism mainly involves chanting sutras, meditating and meditating, opening up wisdom and concentrating on the Dharma, and then killing evil spirits. If you are contaminated with resentment, your teacher will swallow it up.
Xu Mo used secret methods to investigate, and surprisingly, Shui Quhai's magic power was extremely powerful.
This is the literal meaning, and Xu Mo is not exaggerating at all.
If you compare yourself, you are like a lake and the other person is like an ocean.
Such vast magic power was only used to chant sutras and use sutras to suppress and drive away evil spirits. Xu Mo felt that it was really overkill.
"Master Shui, I have many techniques, mainly swordsmanship, as well as the "God Controlling Order" and other techniques to control the wandering gods. I can teach you. If you learn it, your strength may be better than mine."
Xu Mo's words were not nonsense.
The power of water to sea is really unfathomable, and I don’t know how people can cultivate it.
Xu Mo was very curious about this matter and very excited.
If you can figure it out, if you also have such vast magic power, then no matter what kind of spell, your strength can be doubled, or even multiplied several times.
Shui Quhai looked at the sword behind Xu Mo's back, clasped his hands, and shook his head: "Master said that practicing Buddhism is not about moving mountains and seas, or destroying heaven and earth. It is only about conveying the Dharma, being kind to others, and treating all living beings well."
Xu Mo was speechless.
All I could do was put my hands together and salute.
It's a tribute.
"It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to discuss Taoism and Buddhism with Zen Master Shifang. It's a pity, a pity!"
What Xu Mo said was true.
"Talk about Buddhism? Donor Xu also understands Buddhism?" Monk Shui Quhai was curious.
Xu Mo nodded: "I understand a little bit."
"Then can you talk to the young monk?"
"That's exactly what I meant!"
The two of them sat down cross-legged without caring where they were. Xu Mo told Shui Quhai that he had a disciple named Huai Yuanhui, who was also a Buddhist cultivator.
However, it is a tree demon cultivating Buddhism.
Shui Quhai's eyes lit up: "Master said that all living beings in the world have Buddha nature. Sure enough, Master is right. Donor Xu, oh, no, Zen Master Xu can enlighten monsters and cultivate Buddhism. This is a great merit. It is the same as my Master.
quite!"
"I dare not compare myself with Zen Master Shifang!"
Xu Mo is not humble.
He had previously thought that Zen Master Shifang was a cultivator who had the same ideals as him, but he actually did not take his practice method of sacrificing oneself to be benevolent and going to hell seriously.
Shui Quhai believed that his master Shifang Zen Master had become a Buddha.
But Xu Mo had reservations.
But now, Xu Mo thinks that Zen Master Shifang really might become a Buddha.
For no reason, Xu Mo looked up at the sky.
Obviously, there is no harm in having a good relationship with Shui Quhai.
Next, Xu Mo and Monk Shui Quhai talked about Buddhism. This is Xu Mo's strength. After all, he has many Buddhist classics from another world and knows a lot of Buddhist principles.
He himself is not a monk, nor is he a Buddhist, but many of the principles are interchangeable.
Xu Mo is not limited to the situation. What he emphasizes is the understanding of all ways and the origin of all dharma.
But when Shui Quhai listened to this set of Buddhist principles, he nodded repeatedly, as if he had found a treasure.
For others, Xu Mo might still hide it, but for Shui Quhai, a real person who conforms to his idea of a Buddhist and Taoist being, Xu Mo would never hide his secrets.
It's absolutely a given.
From the Diamond Sutra, we will talk about the Heart Sutra, then the Shurangama Sutra, the Tantra Sutra, and finally the Ksitigarbha Sutra.
The same thing, told to different people, has completely different effects.
Moreover, the questions asked and the reasoning behind them are also different.
Shui Quhai listened carefully. He was a little excited at first, but then became calm. Of course, it was not that he didn't like it, nor that he didn't pay attention to it. It was because Shui Quhai had a very high level of understanding and had already understood it from the Buddhist scriptures explained by Xu Mo.
The true meaning of.
Especially when talking about the "Ksitigarbha Sutra", Shui Quhai opened his mouth and said: "It turns out that there are really masters in Buddhism and Taoism who are like my master, who choose to sacrifice their lives, are willing to enter the sea of suffering, accumulate merit, and finally achieve the true result."
It was a kind of relief, a feeling of finding recognition.
Halfway through the story, Xu Mo found that the doll had also come closer, and the other party got into his arms and was also listening.
If the little guy wants to listen, Xu Mo will naturally not stop him.
But when I finished speaking, I discovered that the doll was not only listening, but also eating.
What he eats is the remaining resentment that was wrapped around him before.
Xu Mo was stunned.
"Baby, can you eat these things?"
A little worried.
I am afraid that this little guy will eat up his stomach. After all, this kind of resentment is an extremely pure thing. In short, it is harmful rather than beneficial. The only person who can eat this kind of thing directly is the Shifang Zen Master who became the corpse Buddha.
This is the second doll.
So even when he saw the doll nodding, Xu Mo was still a little worried.
On the opposite side, Shui Quhai looked at the doll carefully and said, "Master Xu, she also has Buddha nature, and not everyone can wear my master's five-direction Buddha crown."
Xu Mo also discovered this.
This five-direction Buddha crown contains magic power and is itself a magic weapon. However, the problem is that the Buddhist energy on it is surging, so this thing has a restraining effect on ghosts.
Not to mention wearing it on the head, under normal circumstances, it cannot be touched.
But not only did the doll touch it, it also wore it, and now, like Zen Master Shifang, it can also 'eat thoughts'.
When Shifang Zen Master eats his thoughts, no matter how high the opponent's cultivation level is, he will still be affected by the resentment and eventually turn into a corpse Buddha with no intelligence and incomparable cruelty.
But the doll won't.
She is filled with resentment, how can she change?
And Xu Mo soon discovered something important.
With the baby here, wouldn't he no longer have to worry about killing the evil spirits and ghosts here, which would lead to resentment?
From now on, you can kill as many as you want.
If you feel resentful, let the baby eat it.
I just don’t know what effect it will have on the baby if I eat too much of it.
Xu Mo and Monk Shui Quhai discussed Buddhism and Taoism. It actually took a long time, but no other strange things came into this process.
It's actually a bit incredible.
But the problem is, Xu Mo has always been aware that there is something outside.
It's just that I didn't come in.
At this moment, a Buddha's call came from outside the ruined temple.
Then a monk wearing black cassock walked in.
Although the other party was smiling, his eyes were very strange, with no pupils, and his skin was as green as a corpse, like a walking corpse.
Most importantly, the other party's cassock seemed to be sewn with faces, and every face showed pain and was hideously twisted.
"A poor monk happened to pass by and heard the two of them talking about Buddhism. He benefited a lot and couldn't help it, so he came here uninvited."
Xu Mo didn't believe this.
The monk doesn’t believe it even if the water goes to the sea.
Just by looking at the appearance of this strange monk, with the resentment lingering between his lips and teeth, you can tell that he has eaten countless people, yet he wears cassocks and is ordained as a monk. It is extremely ironic.
After the other party came in, he looked towards Shui Quhai, with a strange look in his pupil-less eyes.
"Master Shui, just now you said that I will suffer hardships and leave blessings to the common people. This poor monk deeply believes it and agrees with it!"
Even if you listen to other people's compliments, you can only smile and perform Buddhist rituals.
"So, I came here just to ask Master Shui to bless me and keep me good." The weird monk said.
"Then, how to give blessings and retain good deeds?" The water has gone and the sea has been puzzled.
"The poor monk is hungry, thirsty and in pain. Since Master Shui is willing to help others, why not help me today? That is, let the poor monk eat you. In this way, the poor monk will be full and not in pain, and Master Shui will also
Being able to fulfill the oath of 'I will bear the suffering and leave blessings to the common people' will kill two birds with one stone."
The weird monk spoke with a serious face.
This was obviously not a joke, but Xu Mo laughed after hearing it.
"Yaoxie is a monster. What kind of monk is he? Talking nonsense to you is a waste of life. Ah Xi, behead him!"
As soon as Xu Mo finished speaking, the rusty sword was like a ray of cold light, leaving in an instant and returning in an instant.
Go once and come back.
The strange monk wanted to speak, but could no longer speak, but his head rolled to the ground with a bang, and the next moment, his body also fell to the ground.
Obviously, there is a huge gap in strength between him and Xu Mo.
"Master Shui, Buddha is destined to save people. The one just now is obviously not destined to be a person. Like this, we can't be polite anymore. But Master doesn't want to get his hands dirty, so it doesn't matter. Xu Mo is willing to do it for you!"
Xu Mo was actually a little disappointed.
It's not because of anything else, but because there is clearly a method in front of him that can achieve Zhengtong, but he has no way to learn it.
Can’t learn!
It's OK to be kind to others, but you still have to be kind when others are riding on you. Even if this method could lead to immortality and Buddhahood, Xu Mo would not do it.
This is definitely not because Xu Mo looks down on this method, or does not agree with it.
Mainly, it’s not suitable!
Just like finding a partner, you not only have to be a good match, but you also have to have the same temperament and like each other.
That's why I feel disappointed.
"What Zen Master Xu said makes sense. A loving Buddha also has an angry face. What Zen Master just did was also a good deed. He killed the evil and alienated people and helped them escape from the sea of suffering."
Shui Quhai was obviously not a pedantic or hypocritical person. He knew that Xu Mo was doing it for his own good. The weird monk just now was obviously different from the previous evil ones.
Be more powerful.
If Xu Mo hadn't been here, he might have died today.
"Master Xu's swordsmanship is outstanding. Is it possible that he has reached the realm of swordsman?" Shui Quhai asked.
Xu Mo shook his head: "I am not a swordsman. Moreover, the path of swordsmanship is not easy to follow."
Because the ultimate swordsmanship is suppressed by the great swordsman on the shore.
If you want to take this path and improve further, you will inevitably alarm the other party and even be controlled by it.
Xu Mo no longer plans to continue slaying demons. If he slays again, he will definitely attract the attention of the Sword Master. When the time comes, he will repeat the mistakes of the last cycle.
