In the dimly lit Sutra Pavilion, the light and shadow of a few candles swayed, and the monk sat cross-legged for almost a month. At this moment, his face was filled with Buddha light, and a white lotus was looming in his Dantian.
The light and shadow release bursts of fragrance.
"That's right, that's right. The spiritual platform has become a lotus flower. From today on, you can officially join my Ran Deng lineage!"
After hearing the divine monk's message, he opened his six senses, opened his eyes and said, "Master!"
The old monk nodded and continued: "The purpose of my Deng Deng lineage of Lotus is to return from the small to the great. For ordinary people, it takes twice as much effort and time to practice as the Sakyamuni lineage. In addition, it is more difficult.
This is because no one is willing to practice, and those who occasionally try, in the end are left with the result of "the immortals and Buddhas are not yet complete, and they only know that they are alone in the night." But you have a lot of wisdom, and given time, you will definitely survive the state of death, but you are in trouble.
By mistake, I ruined my cultivation during the bottleneck period of the out-of-body realm, but I happened to comply with what Xiao Xiang said to Da Yi this time."
After hearing this, Liao Kong nodded and said, "No wonder the holy monk is willing to accept me as his disciple. If it hadn't been a coincidence that destroyed my cultivation, I wouldn't have had this karma."
The old monk shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not that easy! If everyone can cultivate my lineage after destroying their cultivation, then there won't be only a poor monk left as a descendant in a thousand years!"
Liao Kong said respectfully: "I wholeheartedly want to inherit the master's legacy, but I am very stupid. For example, the Lotus Sutra was very easy to understand when I first practiced the Sakyamuni lineage. After the master asked me to read it, I can see the meaning of it.
of difficulty.”
Hearing Kong's confusion, the old monk explained: "Before Sakyamuni Buddha, in the era of the ancient Buddha Deng Deng, Dacheng Buddhism had already emerged. It was in this context that the Lotus Sutra was conceived.
To go out, take "Sravakas" and "Enlightenment" as the Hinayana, and take "Bodhisattva" as the Mahayana. If you can transform the three into one, you can transform into a Buddha!"
After listening to it for a while, he opened his mouth and said: "The holy monk said this, which makes it even more difficult. Today I looked into my Dantian and found that I have just returned to the state of self-enlightenment."
The old monk raised his hand to stroke his beard again, smiled softly, and said: "The cultivation of the Ran Deng lineage is divided into basics, and each of the two branches of Ji is divided into fourteen grades, for a total of twenty-eight grades. The first ten
The fourth level is the trace gate. Now that you can see the lotus in your Dantian, you are considered to be at the first level of the trace gate!"
"Disciples must try their best to cultivate and not disgrace the teachings of their teacher." Liao Kong said.
"It's daybreak, go ahead and clean the courtyard! Maybe an old friend will come today." After the old monk finished speaking, he turned around and left. He didn't even have time to ask questions about the old friend he mentioned.
"Probably Brother Xiao He!" Liao Kong thought to himself as he took the broom and went downstairs.
The ancient Shaolin Temple has a vast gate and is not only famous for its Buddhist teachings and unique skills. What is even more popular is that from the foot of Shaoshi Mountain to the stupa on the top of the mountain, there is no restriction at all. Even an ordinary mortal can visit.
The Dharma is in line with the philosophy of Sakyamuni Buddhism: there is no one in the world who cannot be saved.
The Shaolin ancient temple is far different. Xingyu's Qinggong has been practiced to the level of climbing on the clouds, but he still traveled three thousand miles in a day and still rushed for two days and two nights before he arrived in front of the gate of Shaoshi Mountain.
The door knocker of the tall mountain gate rang, and a young monk opened the door. When he saw Xingyu, he clasped his hands together and asked: "Amitabha, is the donor here to offer incense or to fulfill a wish?"
Xingyu also clasped his hands in return and said: "Neither of the two, I am a disciple of the Taoist Priest of Guiyan Peak Tianyan. I have something urgent to ask to see Master Jiguang of your temple!"
Seeing Xingyu's anxious expression and being a fellow cultivator, the young monk did not dare to neglect him, so he hurriedly went in to report.
Master Jiguang was meditating in the Buddhist hall at the moment. When he saw his disciple coming to repay his kindness, he opened his eyes, thought about it for a moment, and then asked his disciple to invite Xingyu to the guest hall.
In the reception hall, all the eminent monks of the Ji generation from the Shaolin Temple, headed by Ji Guang, were present. This shows that the Shaolin Temple still respects Gui Yanfeng's affairs very much. In fact, as far as Ji Guang is concerned, Gui Yanfeng can
His eldest disciple, Liao Kong, had been brought back from the underworld, and he had been looking for an opportunity to go and thank him. Now that Guiyan Peak came to ask for something, Ji Guang was naturally willing to help, to show how the ancient Shaolin Temple treats its friends.
Xingyu went to lie down and bowed to all the eminent monks one by one. Without any more greetings, he directly explained Xiao He's injury to Master Ji Guang, and relayed how his master Tianyanzi wanted to work with Shaolin eminent monks to cast spells to save people.
meaning.
After listening to what Xing Yu said, several eminent monks looked at each other and thought. After a long while, Master Ji Guang said: "Taoist Master Tianyanzi has a very high level of cultivation, and everyone knows about the beautiful and virtuous Taoists. Since Taoism
If you open your mouth, we will naturally be willing to help, not to mention that your party has the grace to save the lives of the disciples of our temple, so it is even more unshirkable to save people."
At this time, an old monk with black eyebrows and black beard standing aside said: "Brother Abbot, I am compassionate and should help others who are in trouble. I just heard what the Xingyu Donor said, Donor Xiao has suffered a great loss."
It's not an ordinary injury, how can our temple reshape his body?"
"Junior Brother Ji Ku, I summoned you here just to discuss this matter!" Master Ji Guang said.
Seeing the troubled look on Ji Guang's face, Xingyu said anxiously: "Master said that if Master Ji Guang is willing to help, Master is willing to use the essence of heaven and earth treasures to help Brother Xiao He reshape his body. However, this method is very mysterious and requires
It can only be completed if Buddhist and Taoist masters work together to cast the spell!"
After hearing Xingyu's words, Ji Guang's face became more and more sad.
At this time, Ji Ku Dashi, who was standing aside, spoke again: "How could we not know the intention of Taoist Tianyanzi! It's just that Xingyu Donor didn't know. If he reshapes his body with this method, he will definitely treat the person who casts the spell.
People's magic power causes losses, and my senior brother's cultivation has now reached the bottleneck stage of the realm of integration. Now he has realized that he will break through the realm soon and reach the stage of transcending tribulation. If he rashly casts magic at this time, I am afraid it will be too late.
It’s been a hundred years since we broke through!”
"So, is there no other way?" Xingyu felt disappointed when he heard what Master Ji Ku said.
When Xingyu asked this question, several monks were speechless for a moment.
You must know that it is very difficult for the ancient Shaolin Temple to maintain its reputation as the best temple in the world. Moreover, Shaoshi Mountain has a tradition of no restrictions since ancient times. The orthodox cultivators naturally respect and dare not invade, but it is inevitable that fellow sects will covet Shaolin.
The Buddhist scriptures are hidden in the Sutra Pavilion. What’s more, if one day the situation in the world of immortality is turbulent and war breaks out, the ancient Shaolin Temple will have to consider how to protect itself. Therefore, every eminent monk dare not not care about his own cultivation.
, What's more, although Gui Yanfeng is indeed kind to him, if it is a simple and easy thing, he will help him. Just because he wants to destroy a hundred years of cultivation for a small sect, Ji Guang has to weigh what is more important.
.
"Master!"
Just when everyone was silent, Liao Kong suddenly burst into the living room.
"You are so reckless, why are you so rude!" Ji Guang frowned and reprimanded.
Liao Kong said quickly: "Master, please forgive me. I heard from my junior brother that some comrades who returned to Yanfeng were coming, so I was a little anxious."
Ji Guang was helpless to understand Kong Kong at this time. Only then did Liao Kong see Xing Yu and asked: "Donor Xing Yu, why are you here alone? Where is my brother Xiao He?"
Xingyu replied: "Master Liao Kong, I came here this time just for brother Xiao He. He was seriously injured after being poisoned and his body was destroyed. Fortunately, the master acted quickly and kept his consciousness alive. Now, the master
I was sent to seek help from all the eminent monks in your temple, and to jointly cast spells to help Brother Xiao He reshape his body, but I didn’t expect Master Ji Guang to be in trouble."
Hearing Xingyu's words, Liao Kong was very anxious. He quickly knelt down and said to Master Ji Guang: "Master, please save brother Xiao He no matter what!"
When Kong Kong said this, Master Ji Guang's expression became even more sad. Master Ji Ku, who was standing aside, spoke again: "How can I allow you to interrupt in such a big matter?"
Liao Kong responded quickly: "Uncle, you don't know something. The fellow cultivator I mentioned that saved me that day was none other than Brother Xiao He. He was also seriously injured at that time. If he hadn't supported his injured body,
They forced me to carry me to Guiyan Peak to ask for treatment from Taoist Master Tianyanzi. I’m afraid that the disciple had already gone to Paradise that day and would have no chance of returning to our temple! If he didn’t help me at this time, he would not only be betraying my Buddha’s mercy, but he would also be hurting others.
It is said that the ancient Shaolin temple has a false reputation and does not repay kindness!"
"How could I not know what you said!" Master Ji Guang said, "It's just that being a teacher does have its difficulties!"
"So, master and all the uncles are not willing to help?" Liao Kong still knelt on the ground and said anxiously.
Xingyu also knelt down beside Liakong and said: "Master Jiguang, please help me. My master Tianyanzi is an expert in alchemy. He will definitely find a way to make up for the damage done by the eminent monk!"
"What a joke! You young man speaks so lightly. Do you know what a hundred years of cultivation means to an eminent monk who has reached the state of integration? How can you make up for it so easily? Don't say that you Guiyanfeng won't be so powerful.
Even if the elixir really exists, how can it be that a disciple of yours is the master of it?"
Hearing the question from another short and fat monk standing next to Master Jiguang, Xingyu was speechless for a moment and could not speak. The ancient Shaolin Temple was compassionate, and now he has seen it!
"Don't be rude!" Master Ji Guang looked at the people around him and reprimanded him, then helped Xingyu up and said: "Donor, please get up quickly. Your party is kind to our temple. You don't have to be like this. Let me think about it again."
think!"
Xingyu was helped up by Master Ji Guang. He didn't know what to say anymore, so he stopped talking and waited for Ji Guang to speak.
Master Ji Guang looked at Master Ji Ku and said, "Junior brother, what do you think about this matter?"
Master Ji Ku smiled kindly and said to Xingyu: "What the donor doesn't know is that although this method of reshaping the body is exquisite, it is actually very dangerous. Not only will it backfire on the caster, but also on the person being treated.
The probability of success is also very low, and this method will not only backfire on Shaolin monks like us, but also do great harm to the Taoist priests of your temple. Since we are not completely sure of success, it is really necessary for you and me to take risks together.
Think carefully and find another way."
The few words of Master Ji Ku were very thoughtful and comprehensive. He also considered everything for Gui Yanfeng. He did not shirk the issue of rescuing people. His Shaolin Temple also avoided the bad reputation of not repaying kindness. Xingyu was blocked.
