Chapter 96 Meeting the ‘Buddha’ [Requesting votes]
"Jingxu thanks fellow Taoist for the advice. If fellow Taoist hadn't given me a heads-up and used the Dharma to wake me up, I would have gotten into trouble and stepped into the devil's path."
Still under the bodhi tree, Abbot Jingxu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his eyes returned to normal, he clasped his hands together and thanked Xu Mo.
It can be seen that he is sincere and even has a somewhat respectful attitude.
In fact, those last few sentences are worth a thousand dollars, and I feel unwilling and unwilling to accept them.
At this time, there were footsteps outside the courtyard, and an old monk stepped in.
"Brother Abbot, I just heard the sound and came here to check."
Xu Mo turned around and took a look.
Good guy.
Another acquaintance.
This old monk and the abbot were together, the one who attended the lecture at the same time last time in the cycle.
Xu Mo really didn't know what it was called, but he remembered that this man's human skin could crack, and then evil spirits would come out, which was very scary.
"Junior Brother Jingkong, you came just in time." At this time, Abbot Jingxu had returned to normal and was still amiable.
Xu Mo wrote it down.
The other party's name is Jing Kong.
The abbot is chubby, but Master Jingkong is much thinner. He is not short and is more than a head taller than Xu Mo when he stands.
"Junior brother, I just discussed Buddhism with this Taoist friend and received his guidance, and I benefited a lot."
The abbot's words were very modest, but to Xu Mo's ears, why did they sound like instigation and deception?
Obviously, these two brothers were not wearing any pants either.
Monk Jingkong looked surprised.
"Oh, is this happening?"
I obviously don’t believe it. This is it.
Abbot Jingxu clearly understood what it meant to be baiting in a controlled manner. At this moment, he smiled slightly and stopped talking.
Because if you say anything else, it will only be counterproductive.
This is his brilliance.
"I don't know how to call this Taoist friend?" Monk Jingkong asked.
"My surname is Xu. The abbot master just said something serious. Xu just knows a little about Buddhism and has mutual understanding with the abbot." Monk Jingkong took the trap, but Xu Mo didn't want to be used as a weapon anymore.
Don't let Monk Jingkong get into trouble later. If someone goes crazy again, it will be difficult to deal with it.
The main reason is that Xu Mo still remembers the madness of the evil spirit in the opponent's body during the last cycle.
Once that thing is released, it will be very difficult to get it back.
Monk Jingkong was not stupid and reacted immediately.
"I see."
So, no more words were said.
He probably also realized that the old abbot had set him up just now.
But Monk Jingkong soon realized that something was wrong.
If the abbot really set a trap for him, it can only mean one thing. This person named Xu is really capable and proficient in Buddhist principles. Otherwise, it is just a straw rope trap that can be broken easily?
Therefore, Monk Jingkong looked at Xu Mo carefully.
Naturally, he could tell that Xu Mo was a cultivator of immortality, a wandering god with his feet on his feet, and possessing magic power.
And the woman next to me.
He is a great demon with a strong demonic aura, and his spiritual practice is extremely profound.
So, what exactly happened here just now?
Why would the other party bless me with magic power and scold me at the same time?
Could it be that...
Monk Jingkong thought of a possibility.
"The abbot has suffered a lot from this person, so he wants to drag me into the water? This old guy is so useless. He is so angry with the poor monk."
Monk Jingkong was furious when he thought of this.
It's not his fault.
The evil spirits in his body are the source of anger, so a bad temper is inevitable.
All he could do was suppress his anger.
If it cannot be suppressed, the evil spirit will burst the skin and break out of the body.
Although Jingkong is irritable, he is not stupid either.
After all, he has been cultivating Buddhism for many years and is quite good at it. Even if he thinks of the reason at this moment, he still knows that he can’t take advantage of the abbot’s bald ass, so he can’t fall out, right?
Therefore, you can only endure it.
The skin on Monk Jingkong's face was pulsing, as if there were bugs crawling underneath, but in the end, it calmed down.
"Thank you Daoist Xu!"
Monk Jingkong put his palms together and said with a smile.
It seems very out of the blue, but after all, it's nothing, so why thank you?
But the interesting thing is that everyone present knew what was going on.
Xu Mo knew it, the abbot knew it, and even Xiang Ying squinted his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth.
The situation is very interesting. The abbot set up a trap, but Xu Mo resolved it, and unexpectedly made friends with Monk Jingkong, because the latter felt that Xu Mo was helping him and reminding him.
Of course, these can only be understood and cannot be expressed in words.
Xu Mo didn't want to cause trouble, so he asked Abbot Jingxu: "Master Abbot, can you let me see the Buddha?"
The abbot smiled and replied: "Fellow Taoist Xu is profound in Buddhism. You need to know that seeing the Buddha does not depend on the form, but on the mind. When the merits are achieved, seeing the nature is like seeing the Buddha. It is worse than Taoist friend staying overnight, maybe you can reach the other shore in your heart."
This is quite mysterious.
But Xu Mo understood.
To translate it, when it comes to meeting the Buddha, it doesn’t matter what I say, nor does it matter what you say. It’s up to you to become a Buddha.
In other words, if the Buddha wants to see you, you can only do so.
Also, as for your special voice just now, Buddha has already heard it. So I have said nothing about this matter and don’t want to care about it. You can just stay. If Buddha wants to see you, he will naturally come to you. If
No, where are you going tomorrow?
"Well, excuse me." Xu Mo smiled, Xiang Ying smiled, Abbot Jingxu and Monk Jingkong also smiled.
Next, they found a secluded courtyard as a residence. After saying a few polite words, the two monks said goodbye and left.
After all, they are senior members of the temple and have a lot of things to do. Even if they are not busy, they have to pretend to be busy, otherwise, they will lose their status.
"It's very interesting. It's indeed a wise move to come out with you!" Seeing no one around, Xiang Ying's true nature was exposed. He leaned lazily on Xu Mo and his legs began to get entangled.
"Buddhist Holy Land, you can't do this." Xu Mo coughed twice, but did not push her away.
There was nothing I could do, the more I pushed her, the harder she got and the tighter she got.
It's said to be instinctive. Even though he has long since cultivated into a demon cultivator and transformed into a human body, he still can't get rid of the problem of getting entangled with things.
"Why don't you go and explain to your little lover? It's almost dark today. We're in a strange temple in the mountains and forests. We're not afraid of something happening to her." Xiang Ying said.
"What little lover? That's my apprentice." Xu Mo knew that Xiang Ying was talking about Lin Jiuyuan: "Don't worry about this. That girl is very smart. After all, I trained her with my own hands. She doesn't know how to enter the temple, she only knows how to be quiet."
wait."
Having said that, Xu Mo still took an insurance policy.
He closed his eyes and made a sword gesture.
The next moment, Lin Jiuyuan, who was outside the temple, felt the long sword in his hand buzzing. When he took it out, he saw that the blade buzzed, as if transmitting sound.
She reacted immediately and knew that Master Xu was sending her a message.
Apparently they had discussed it before.
If there is a slight sound of the sword, it means everything is fine. Don't act rashly, just stay there.
If there is a violent sword sound, it means you are in danger and you need to run away quickly.
According to Xu Mo's understanding, this is the beeping machine in another world.
A young novice brought a vegetarian meal, and Xu Mo was quite interested, but Xiang Ying didn't like it. She said she wanted to eat people, and stared at the young novice with lustful eyes.
The little novice monk was so frightened that he put down his meal and ran away.
"I heard that after a snake eats one meal, it can go several days without eating." Xu Mo joked.
Xiang Ying ignored him.
"By the way, are you hibernating?" Xu Mo continued to ask.
"Do you believe it or not, I'm going to swallow you right now?" Xiang Ying couldn't hold back.
"Xiang Ying, you're in trouble!" Xu Mo said seriously.
At this moment, the breeze suddenly stopped, the fallen leaves floated in the air but did not fall, and Xiang Ying's face showed an angry look. Although beautiful, he was as motionless as a sculpture at the moment.
Not only does the wind not understand, the leaves don't move, and the people don't move either.
It seemed that for an instant, everything stopped and everything froze.
Xu Mo was able to discover this, which shows that he is an exception.
When I was surprised, I heard someone outside saying: "A moment may be a lifetime, or it may be eternity, how do you explain it?"
When Xu Mo heard this, he was frightened, but his expression did not change. His mind immediately turned around and he answered: "When you are enlightened, it is a lifetime or an instant, eternity or an instant. How can you explain it?"
Directly answer the question.
If Xu Mo hadn't studied scriptures before and liked to discuss Taoism with people on the Internet, he would probably have shown timidity just by saying this.
Fortunately, I got the answer.
The man outside thought for a moment, then stepped in.
Xu Mo knew that he had passed the first level.
No need to ask, the extremely handsome monk with a white jade-like face who came in was the Thousand-Armed Immortal Buddha in Fazen Temple.
some incarnation of.
The other party seemed to be even more powerful and terrifying than when he was in Hua Zhongfang City.
Maybe, this Buddha was not good at the "Spirit Attack Technique", and his strength was only half of his normal strength when he used the "Spirit Attack Technique".
If so, it would be even scarier.
To say that this ‘momentary state’ is simply unbelievable.
It's a bit like "Time Stops" in a children's TV series that Xu Mo watched when he was a child.
Yes, at this moment, it's like pressing the pause button on the world.
Reason told Xu Mo that this was impossible.
But the situation is like this. You said it was impossible, but he figured it out.
In Xu Mo's eyes, the abbot Jingxu of Fachan Temple and his junior monk Jingkong have exceeded the limit that he can deal with now, which means that there is no chance of winning in a fight.
These are not immortal Buddhas.
The person in front of me is a real immortal Buddha. Maybe he will go back to the Bajiao Pavilion just by thinking about it.
But so what?
Is Xu Mo afraid?
Won't.
He has his support, so in terms of strength, he is far behind the opponent, but in terms of state of mind, Xu Mo despises everything, and so do immortals and Buddhas.
"So, when you say that if you understand the Dharma of Immortality, you can only see the west for a moment, but if you don't understand how to recite the name of the Buddha in order to survive, how can you reach it after a long journey? This is really a wonderful thing!"
Thousand-Armed Buddha stared at Xu Mo.
It seemed ordinary, but at this moment, Xu Mo felt a bit like a full-body CT scan in the hospital. Nothing happened, but he just felt like he was being seen through.
Cultivation.
Can't hide it.
The magic weapon on your body.
Can't hide it either.
The only thing that can be hidden is wisdom and memory.
I don’t know if there is a ‘soul searching technique’ in this world, or a method similar to ‘memory checking’. If there is, it will definitely be my biggest nemesis.
Therefore, coming to see the Thousand-Armed Buddha this time is taking a huge risk. If the other party knows this, it will be troublesome.
"Why do you want to see me?" Thousand-Armed Buddha asked after looking at Xu Mo.
Let’s get to the point.
Xu Mo replied: "Ask."
"You are not a Buddhist and follow the path of Taoism. If you ask questions, you should go to Zhengqian Palace instead of Fazen Temple." Thousand-Armed Buddha said with a smile.
Xu Mo shook his head: "Buddha is Tao, and Tao is Buddha!"
"No wonder, Jingxu almost went crazy because of you, it's really interesting." Thousand-Armed Buddha was still chatting and laughing: "There is no conclusion yet on the origin. You and I can talk briefly. If you want to argue, I'm afraid something unexpected will happen, so don't talk nonsense. Already."
Xu Mo frowned when he heard this.
There is no doubt that Thousand-Armed Buddha means something.
Why does arguing about the origin of Taoism and Buddhism lead to unexpected events?
If you are not strong enough, it is normal for you to encounter mishaps. But if you are a Buddha, will you also encounter mishaps?
If so, where did this unexpected event come from?
Obviously Thousand-Armed Buddha would not answer these questions, and Xu Mo didn't ask either.
"If we don't talk about the origin of Dharma, let's talk about it in terms of Tao. All Dharmas are connected, and those who have mastered it are teachers. For me, the theory of origin is indeed unattainable and full of mist. Let's not mention it for now. But the mountains reach the sky, and the practice of Dharma is as follows. When climbing a mountain, the Buddha placed him at the top of the mountain, and I stood at the foot of the mountain. As for climbing high and looking far, the Buddha's words can point the way."
What Xu Mo means is that if you stand high and see far, even if Tao and Buddha are not from the same source, you can still guide us in our practice.
Thousand-Armed Buddha agrees with this statement.
He nodded.
He smiled.
Proved Xu Mo's idea.
But agreeing doesn't mean the other party will help directly.
Thousand-Armed Buddha suddenly stopped talking at this moment.
Xu Mo knew that sometimes talking was a way to express a point of view, and it was also the most direct way; but not speaking was actually a way of expressing a point of view, which was also very direct.
If the other party doesn't speak, it falls into the latter category.
But what it meant, Xu Mo didn't realize it all at once.
If he didn’t understand, Xu Mo didn’t want to guess, so he asked directly.
"Buddha, why don't you say anything?"
The Thousand-Armed Buddha smiled and said: "Exchanging millet for millet and wheat for sugarcane. This is the right way. You come to ask, but you are empty-handed. Are you planning to let me work in vain?"
