"Okay, Garuda, Mohu, Xinlan and I can go shopping by ourselves. You go and do your work first. We'll get together in two days..."
After entering Jingtian City, which is the capital of Western Xinjiang, Zhou Hanbei said to the two of them, after all, they have been in too much trouble these past few days and have not had much rest in the past few days. Zhou Hanbei himself also wants to experience the local area.
style.
"That's okay, you have to stay for a long time anyway!"
"We're all here. I'll take you to your accommodation first, and then you can make your own arrangements."
Not allowing Zhou Hanbei to refuse, he led them straight towards the most prosperous area. Not to mention entering the city, it took them half a day to get to where they lived. After arriving at the place where they lived, the Mohu gang
They finished everything, gave instructions and went back to resume their duties.
"Shall we have a rest or just go out for a walk?"
"Well, why don't you just go out..."
It was obvious that Li Xinlan was excited at this moment. It was her first time here and she was curious about everything. She didn't pay much attention to the surrounding scenery just now. Even though this place is located in a desert, the roads here are made of bluestone and there are quite a lot of plants.
.
After leaving the door, the people here are also very enthusiastic. They don't look at you and point at you just because you are dressed differently from them. They are just very polite. No matter what question you ask, they will put their hands together and face you in the end.
You nod to show respect.
"The education here is very good, and everyone is very religious."
"The Holy Land Buddhist Sect is within the territory of Western Xinjiang. It seems that the popularization of Buddhism is in place..."
Since he learned a lesson after breaking into the forbidden area last time, this time Zhou Hanbei briefly learned about the holy places and forbidden areas in the entire continent.
It's just that Zhou Hanbei always felt a little different. He didn't think too much about it. Ever since he got the Great Heart Sutra from Buddhism, he didn't dare to use it when he came here because he was afraid of being caught. From the two Mohu
He said that Brahma is still looking for the whereabouts of this technique, so be careful in everything.
"Where is the Buddha Sect?"
"The Buddha Sect is still far away. It's only half a month away from Jingtian City, which is called the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss."
"Oh, I also wanted to go and see it!"
"There will be a chance in the future."
Zhou Hanbei was also considering whether to go there. He knew from Jiang Ruyuan's words that this mentality was also related to his life experience, but he couldn't be anxious now.
What is the connection between the mind method, the black flame, Buddhism, and even the Xijiang Dynasty and the mother I have never met. My godmother told me to be careful about Xijiang and Dazhou. What should I be careful about? I came so early.
Wasn't it too hasty?
Thinking of this, it becomes more and more confusing.
"Your Highness, look quickly, there is a monk there..."
Li Xinlan interrupted her thoughts and brought her back to reality. Looking in the direction of Xinlan's finger, there was a skinny monk with a weathered face giving instructions to an aunt and uncle.
"Hey, that's the Buddhist master. He often comes to our place to teach people the scriptures."
"How do you say that?"
"Master is a member of the Pure Land Buddhist Sect, and is especially popular with us..."
A passerby happened to be nearby. Seeing Li Xinlan's curiosity, he kindly told them that the master practiced another method of Buddhism called asceticism. In order to practice his faith, he practiced self-control, self-discipline, and refused material and physical temptations.
, endure the harsh environment and oppression.
This is indeed a fearless spirit, which is admirable. He is highly respected by people here.
Zhou Hanbei understood. He stopped and looked for a while and was about to leave. Anyway, he didn't understand what he meant, so he just got a rough idea. Unexpectedly, the monk felt something in his heart and suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Hanbei. He was frightened.
gave him a jump.
"I wonder why Master blocked my way?"
The master didn't answer. The withered-shaped finger pointed at Zhou Hanbei's forehead. It looked slow but was actually very fast. Zhou Hanbei couldn't dodge even if he wanted to. Li Xinlan wanted to stop him, but she always felt that he was just one step away.
Keep that withered hand.
The fingertips had already touched the skin, and Zhou Hanbei couldn't move. He was done thinking, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't feel any discomfort, and he couldn't figure out what he wanted to do.
"Old Na Xuanjie, please forgive me for this benefactor."
Xuan Jie put his hands together and saluted Zhou Hanbei.
"Master, I don't know why you did that to me just now?"
Zhou Hanbei didn't get angry easily. The move just now was enough for him to drink a pot, not to mention he also apologized.
"The donor has a predestined relationship with my Buddha and is very similar to an old friend. Please come to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss when you have time."
After saying that, he left straight away, reciting Buddhist scriptures as he walked, and soon disappeared. This monk seemed to understand a little more after he said some words that were incomprehensible. Old friend? Could it be that he was talking about Zhou Hanbei's mother?
He could only guess in this direction.
"Are you OK?"
Li Xinlan stepped forward and expressed concern, touching his head to check.
"It's okay, this monk is so awesome."
"Who says it isn't? It's so close, but it seems so far away that you can't touch it."
Li Xinlan didn't understand the words, so she told him to be careful anyway, and it was best not to go to that pure land, as it was not a good place. Zhou Hanbei also agreed first, and would talk about it later.
Afterwards, we wandered around and looked for various delicacies to try.
When he returned to his residence at night, Zhou Hanbei carefully sensed his surroundings to see if anyone was watching. If he found no suspicious people, he began to practice.
Halfway through the practice, Zhou Hanbei opened his eyes. There is always an indescribable feeling when you come here to practice. There is a voice calling you in the dark. If you stop, you can't hear anything. He is not sure now.
It’s not like you’re hallucinating from overthinking.
"ah……"
Somewhere in the Brahma Palace, a young man with a pale face and sinister eyes let out a scream, and a trace of blood was seen flowing from the fingers covering his left eye.
"Your Highness, what happened..."
"Get out, get out of here..."
The personal guards who came after hearing the sound were all scolded by him and ran away. This person was none other than His Highness Brahma. What kind of skills did he practice? He became like this. His eyes were bleeding.
"What's going on today? Were you too hasty?"
Brahma murmured to himself, he didn't know why this happened and couldn't think of the reason.
"Someone...go and get Yasha."
"yes!"
After a while, Yaksha came to the door of Brahma's palace.
"What's happening in the city recently?"
"Mohu and his two brothers came to Jingtian City with the Seventh Prince of Han Dynasty. Have they already arranged for them to stay?"
"In the evening, they wandered around and experienced the customs. Finally, they met Xuan Jie. Xuan Jie took the initiative to talk to him. I don't know what he was talking about. As for the rest, there was nothing special."
Yasha carefully reported some special things today, because her job is intelligence. After listening to her report, Brahma's feminine face became colder and colder.
"Why did this bald donkey suddenly take the initiative? Or is it with the seventh prince?"
"Does Your Highness want to meet the seventh prince of Han Dynasty?"
"How can I meet people like this?"
Brahma was furious, and he would definitely see him. He just wanted to wait until he recovered. It would be fine in a few days, so he let Yaksha go down for the time being.
At this time, Zhou Hanbei was still studying his own situation and could not calm down to practice. He was preparing for a final attempt. He planned to do two things at once and started to run the Great Freedom Heart Sutra. He also silently recited the Sanskrit Sound in his heart to calm himself down.
Sure enough, it worked. Just like that, the two helped each other and practiced until dawn, but their energy was a little bit weak. After all, they had been using the Sanskrit chant all night, which consumes a lot of mental energy.
Fortunately, it was used for training. If killing enemies was not enough, he would have exhausted all his mental power by reciting it a few times.
"call……"
He let out a heavy breath and looked at Li Xinlan who had not woken up during the training. He was about to wash up and go downstairs to get something early. When Zhou Hanbei came back after finishing everything, he found that she still showed no signs of waking up.
She ate first by herself, a piece of naan as big as a face plate, and a bowl full of mutton and haggis soup. It felt so comfortable to eat together. The rich aroma made Li Xinlan wake up from her practice. She looked at Zhou Hanbei.
It tastes so delicious, not to mention how greedy it is.
"Are you awake? Wash up quickly and come over to eat. It's still warm."
"Yeah, right away!"
Li Xinlan quickly finished washing, and hurriedly came over to sit down and started cooking, fearing that Zhou Hanbei would finish the meal.
"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."
"Uh-huh……"
"Dong dong dong... Brother Defianbei, are you up?"
Garuda's voice came from outside the door. He didn't expect it to come so soon. It had only been one night. Zhou Hanbei still wanted to be alone with Xinlan for two days. Why didn't he understand? You're such a fool.
"Come in, do you want to eat something together?"
Looking at the few things left in the bowl, Garuda shook his head. What can I eat if there is nothing left? Are you kidding me? Zhou Hanbei chuckled, I must be teasing you. Just to be polite, you really take it seriously.
"Why are you here? Didn't you say you were two days late?"
"I'm too bored, so I just want to spend time with you."
Zhou Hanbei looked behind him and did not see Mohu. Garuda reacted and said that he was the only one coming today. Mohu had listened to Zhou Hanbei's words and said that if it was two days late, it would be two days late.
"Forget it, we're here now, then you can make arrangements!"
When Li Xinlan saw Zhou Hanbei reluctantly agreed, she patted his hand and said it didn't matter. It was good to have a guide, at least she didn't have to worry about what happened last night.
Immediately, the two told Garuda about their meeting with Monk Xuanjie the night before.
"What, who are you talking about?"
"Xuan Jie, what's wrong?"
"Oh, let me go. You are so lucky to get his active guidance."
Zhou Hanbei was directly deceived. His initiative was too cheap. I think he takes the initiative against everyone. At this time, Garuda explained that Master Xuanjie never takes the initiative to give guidance to cultivators. What you see are ordinary people.
People, do you know?
"What's the difference?"
"What other difference is there? The difference is huge."
For ordinary people, it is a sign of admiration, which often resolves their troubles and sees everything clearly. For cultivators, the improvement of the state of mind makes people sublime, and it is easy to break through bottlenecks in cultivation, you know.
In other words, cultivating your state of mind is also very important. Can people from the Buddhist sect improve your state of mind?
