The long morning bells, the deep dusk drums, Fuxi Island is bathed in misty clouds, from the rising sun to the sunset in the evening, the sky is changing, white clouds and gray dogs are rolling by. After all, time never stops for anyone.
The setting sun is like blood, reflecting the sunset in the western sky red. Looking from a distance, there seems to be a thin layer of golden light on the edge of the clouds, which is very beautiful. The beautiful scenery of heaven and earth is actually around you. It only depends on whether you look at it or not.
or not.
The sky gradually darkened, and the sunset finally completely set on the mountain. After a while, I saw a bright moon slowly rising from the east sky. The moonlight was like water, shining with clear light, filling the entire cave sky.
In the Zen room at this time, the three of them were silent. Only the green smoke of sandalwood rose in the air, and the occasional fluctuation of Yuan Qi told the fright and longing of this scene.
I don’t know how long it took, but I saw the moon was near the zenith, and suddenly there was a burst of laughter in the quiet Zen room.
"Junior, thank you Bodhisattva for your teachings."
Xie Heng paused for a moment and then asked:
"I dare to ask Bodhisattva, you just said that Shu Cang was at the peak of the Hunyuan realm. Which realm does that correspond to when compared with my human Qi practitioner?"
"My little friend, don't be anxious, just listen to the poor monk explain it slowly."
"Please, junior, listen attentively."
"The so-called demon clan is originally a mountain spirit creature that opened up its spiritual wisdom by chance and finally practiced Taoism."
"However, the wilderness is too vast and boundless. There may be some ancient relics that remain in the world, either hidden in deep mountains and dense valleys, or hidden in underground caves. It is not known that if you practice for a long time, your life span will be longer than that of the sun and the moon."
Zhiren Bodhisattva paused and continued.
"However, the demon race is different from our human race after all."
"Although the previous sages of the demon race have continuously improved the cultivation system and established a cultivation path that conforms to the rules of heaven. However, its cultivation path is more difficult than that of our human race."
"The practice of the demon clan has five stages: spiritual enlightenment, transformation, integration, union, and rebellion. The realm corresponding to each stage is the fusion realm, the heartbeat realm, the Hunyuan realm, the Taoist realm, and the innate realm."
"These five stages also correspond to the cultivation stages of my human race."
After looking at the two juniors in front of him, Zhiren Bodhisattva said leisurely.
"According to legend, in ancient times, there was a nine-tailed fox who cultivated to the innate realm, but was eventually killed."
"Every stage is met with disaster. One mistake can lead to death."
"Amitabha."
Hearing these words, Kong Chan couldn't help but recite a Buddha's name in a low voice.
Xie Heng also raised his eyebrows and said softly:
"This junior believes that no matter the human race or the demon race, in the end, this practice leads to the same destination."
"Hahaha, my little friend is really smart."
Zhiren Bodhisattva looked at Xie Heng with satisfaction and laughed.
"Back then, my master was just like a little friend, telling the poor monk this."
Xie Heng was a little stunned when Zhiren praised him like this, and then asked:
"I dare to ask Bodhisattva, although Shu Cang was at the peak of Hunyuan Realm back then, he was seriously injured after all."
"What's more, I believe that with the cultivation level of the two seniors, Master Taiqing, even if Shu Cang is at his peak, if the two seniors take action, they will definitely be able to capture this evildoer."
Having said this, Xie Heng looked at Zhiren Bodhisattva on the same Zen bed and continued.
"Why did the two seniors finally sit back and watch the rats bring harm to the common people? Is there some other hidden reason?"
When Zhiren Bodhisattva heard this, the bloody storm that happened more than ten thousand years ago suddenly appeared in his mind, and he was speechless for a long time.
At night, the pure courtyard under the moonlight is quiet and peaceful. In the distance, it seems that Buddhist chants are coming slowly. There seems to be a quiet and quiet Zen spirit echoing.
The Buddha's light all over the sky and the clear brilliance of the moon complement each other, creating a unique scene.
Pure Courtyard, in the meditation room of Bodhisattva Zhiren.
After a long time, Bodhisattva Zhiren finally spoke:
"Actually, the poor monk still doesn't understand whether the choice made by the family master and Senior Taiqing was right or wrong."
Hearing what Zhiren Bodhisattva said, Xie Heng and Kong Chan were shocked. Xie Heng even murmured in his heart:
"What kind of decision makes Zhiren, who is known as the wisest among the three religions, unable to judge right from wrong?"
"Bodhisattva, please speak. I am all ears."
Zhiren Bodhisattva nodded slightly and slowly recounted the past events of that year. However, these past events caused Xie Heng and Kong Chan in the Zen room to fall into horror.
"Since the ancient times, when the Immortal Punishment Tribulation ended and Emperor Zhuanxu set up the Divine Forbidden Formation, it has been a hundred thousand years since the immortality of the human world has been extinct."
"Over the past hundred thousand years, the sea has changed, and the stars have changed. The celebrities of the three religions, from the left and the side, who dares to appear blatantly in the wild world and show off their own mountain gate."
"All the great sects of the immortal sect wish that the world would not notice their existence."
Listening to what Bodhisattva Zhiren said, Xie Heng's heart moved and he asked doubtfully:
"I dare to ask Bodhisattva, why did Rat Cang suddenly appear in the human world again? And he also devastated Western Shu thousands of miles away."
"Haha, little friend Xie Heng, you are quite smart. Your question was also a question shared by my master and senior Taiqing at that time?"
"It's even a question for the entire world of immortality."
Zhiren Bodhisattva said with emotion at this time.
Hearing Bodhisattva Zhiren say this, Xie Heng and Monk Kongchan both felt their hearts tremble slightly, and they all listened attentively.
Seeing that both Xie Heng and Monk Kongchan were listening attentively, they couldn't help but recall:
"At that time, my master Puyang Bodhisattva and Taiqing Senior were discussing Taoism in Fahua Temple. They suddenly sensed the overwhelming resentment and evil spirit in Jinguan City. They were all shocked."
"Immediately, the master used Xuanguang Technique to check. Only then did he see the heinous massacre that Shu Cang had committed in Jinguan City."
At this time, Bodhisattva Zhiren's mind was obviously a little shaken, and the rich Buddhist aura seemed to tremble a little, and then calmed down, as if it was an illusion.
"At that time, my master and senior Taiqing were shocked when they saw this situation."
"Senior Taiqing was extremely furious when he saw Shu Cang do this. He wanted to kill Shu Cang directly on the spot. But in the end, he was dissuaded by his master, Puyang Bodhisattva."
Hearing this, Kong Chan and Xie Heng both frowned, and Xie Heng was even more anxious.
"Why?"
"Yes, the poor monk was standing by at that time, and he was also very puzzled."
Zhiren Bodhisattva was also a little sad at this time.
"In the end, the two teachers did not choose to take action. They just used Xuanguang Technique to observe Shu Cang at all times."
Seeing Xie Heng's hesitant expression, Zhiren Bodhisattva understood clearly in his heart and continued without criticizing:
"It was only later that the poor monk found out why my master blocked Senior Taiqing."
Zhiren Bodhisattva paused for a moment and then continued.
"The two teachers just want to see how the world will deal with this rat."
"I would also like to take this opportunity to test the power of the Divine Forbidden Formation once again."
Looking at Kong Chan and Xie Heng who were frowning, Zhiren Bodhisattva asked softly:
"Do you know why this is?"
Kong Chan and Xie Heng looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.
Zhiren Bodhisattva was not surprised, but the rosary beads in his hand were obviously moving rapidly at this time, and he said with a somewhat unnatural expression:
"The way of heaven is far away and ever-changing. Ever since the Divine Forbidden Formation was established a hundred thousand years ago, although the famous sects of the three religions and the left and right sects all have dissatisfaction, they are afraid of the power of Emperor Zhuanxu and remain silent in the end."
"Later, the Supreme Elder of the Taixuan Sect, the largest sect of the Demon Sect, Ming Ji Lao Demon, was dissatisfied with the rules of heaven set by the Emperor of Heaven. After Emperor Zhuanxu passed away, he tried to enter the wild world."
When Bodhisattva Zhiren said this, he paused slightly and looked a little horrified.
"However, the moment Mingji Old Demon entered the wild human world, he was sensed by the divine formation. In the end, he was directly obliterated by the great formation in front of his own mountain gate, leaving not even a trace of his soul."
Looking at the two outstanding juniors, who seemed to be listening attentively, Zhiren Bodhisattva smiled calmly and said leisurely:
"Did you know that the Supreme Elder of the Taixuan Sect, whose cultivation is astounding to the heavens and the earth, is a peak Qi practitioner in the ninth step of the human realm?"
At this time, Zhiren Bodhisattva's heart was also in turmoil.
"What's more, the formation is running on its own without anyone controlling it."
"You can imagine how powerful the Great Wilderness human race was at that time."
Monk Kongchan and Xie Heng were both excited when they suddenly learned about such secrets.
Thinking of the Divine Forbidden Formation set up by Emperor Zhuanxu back then, which could easily kill even the ninth-step Qi warriors in the human realm, the souls of the two were even more shaken.
Seeing the ups and downs of their hearts, Bodhisattva Zhiren recited the Buddha's name in a low voice:
"Amitabha!"
A mellow and soft Buddhist rhyme suddenly echoed in this square inch, soothing the hearts of Xie Heng and Kong Chan.
"Thank you, Master."
"Thank you Bodhisattva."
"Haha, it doesn't matter."
Zhiren Bodhisattva put his hands together and asked:
"Back then, in order to treat his own injuries and repair his body, Shu Cang did not hesitate to turn thousands of miles of Western Shu into scorched earth and sucked the essence, blood and energy of many human beings. As a result, Western Shu at that time became a gloomy ghost place where ghosts and monsters were rampant."
"But the family master and Senior Taiqing, in order to test the Divine Forbidden Formation, watched helplessly as the entire Jinguan City was slaughtered, leaving no chickens or dogs behind. They even allowed the rats to absorb all the surrounding areas.
Everyone’s essence, blood and energy.”
After saying this, Bodhisattva Zhiren paused for a moment, feeling melancholy and confused in his heart, and asked softly.
"Young friends, do you think what my master and senior Taiqing did back then was right? Or wrong?"
