Volume Four, Volume 7, Chapter 140, Training Xu Xian (3)
Three months later, outside Black Tu Town.
"Hanwen, do you understand how ugly women are this time?"
Hearing Fahai's inquiry, Xu Xiansi's handsome face instantly became distorted, and he almost gritted his teeth and replied: "Ugly, so ugly that it hurts to the bone!"
"Enlightenment is difficult, even harder than reaching the sky. How did you persevere in these three months?"
Xu Xian didn't say anything when he heard the words. He just rolled up his sleeves silently. Fahai glanced at him and saw that there were many bloody scars on Xu Xian's two slender and white arms. The scars were combined, and each arm was covered with scars.
Four big red characters.
"Once you realize the Tao, you will become a saint immediately!"
Xu Xian's eyes were indescribably firm, "Whenever the boy couldn't hold on, he would drink a large bowl of Hero Inn's Daughter's Red, and then take a knife and carve these eight words on his arm again, Old Master
, do you think I can succeed in enlightenment?"
Seeing this, Fahai could say nothing more. He could only nod solemnly and encourage: "What you do is called the 'Great Wishes Full Body Precept' in Buddhism. The Buddha used this method to ask questions, and finally achieved success."
A positive result. Since your determination to follow the path is so firm, then success must not be far away."
"It's just not far? Old master, is there still...a third lesson?" Xu Xian almost fainted when he heard this.
"Of course, the first lesson is to let you understand how dirty women are; the second lesson is to let you understand how ugly women are; and the third lesson is to let you understand how women are worse than animals!"
Fahai's affirmative answer almost made Xu Xian fall into despair again, "Are you worse than a beast?"
"This is the last lesson. If you pass it, your beautiful hair, eyebrows, nose, cherry lips, fragrant shoulders, waist, buttocks and beautiful legs are all nothing to you."
…
Fahai's bewitching voice kept echoing in Xu Xian's mind like a dream, "It's been almost eight years, old master, although women are dirty and ugly, why are they worse than beasts?"
Xu Xian gently chewed a piece of weed in his mouth, and stood up while thinking deeply. He is now nearly eighteen years old, extremely handsome, and unrestrained, but his dress at this time is...
He is a shepherd boy.
"Herd sheep, sell them for money, give birth to a baby, and then herd sheep after the baby... What is the mystery behind the old master's gourd? What does herding have to do with women? Could it be..."
Eight years ago, Fahai abandoned Xu Xian in this remote village like a paradise and let him herd sheep here for eight years. Fortunately, the rural customs here were simple and simple, and Xu Xian's life here was not difficult.
It's just that it's really lonely.
Seeing the farmers farming at the foot of the mountain, Xu Xian suddenly felt something in his heart and shouted, "The wolf is coming! The wolf is coming! Help!"
Several farmers heard Xu Xian's roar and hurriedly ran up the mountain with sickles and forks. Out of breath, they came to Xu Xian and took a look. Apart from a group of fat sheep, how could there be any hungry wolves?
Xu Xian smiled proudly, "Haha, I'm sorry, you guys have been fooled again! I'm just lonely and want to chat with you for a while."
The farmers left angrily. Although they were simple-minded, they had long been dissatisfied with Xu Xian after being tricked like this every few days. If they hadn't seen him pitifully alone, no one would have believed it.
If he did, no one would go up the mountain to rescue him.
"The wolf is coming, the wolf is coming, this time the wolf is really coming! Help!"
Less than a moment later, Xu Xian shouted again.
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to him this time. The farmers at the foot of the mountain had already hid far away. Xu Xian waited for a long time, but no one came up the mountain to rescue him.
"Finally no one will come again!"
Xu Xian, who was asking for trouble, had a look of pride on his face. He took a long breath and tiptoed to hold down a big fat sheep like a thief.
Then, a painful "bleeping" sound echoed in the lonely mountains and high forests.
…
"Old Master, women are indeed inferior to beasts. Their beautiful hair, beautiful eyebrows, beautiful nose, cherry lips, fragrant shoulders, willow waist, pert buttocks and beautiful legs are nothing but clouds!"
Standing in front of Fa Hai again, a trace of pride flashed in Xu Xian's eyes, because he finally passed the third lesson and fully understood the way of color and emptiness.
Fahai nodded lightly and said: "The red and pink skull is what it is, Namo Ami is empty."
"Master, I have enlightened myself once, but I don't know when I will become a saint immediately?"
Seeing that Xu Xian was waiting for his time, Fa Hai smiled lightly and said: "Han Wen, there is no need to rush for a while. Although you have enlightened the Tao once and have the heart of the Tao, it takes chance to become a saint. Do you know that this is a good place for you?"
When and where did it stand?"
"Please give me some advice, Master!"
"Fate is wonderful! You should go back to visit your sister and master first. Remember to stand on the broken bridge of the West Lake on the third day of March this year. Your chance will appear there... This is a secret, and it must not be revealed!"
Seeing what Fahai said was extremely mysterious, Xu Xian believed it deeply. After bowing three times and nine kowtows to Fahai with great respect, Fang bowed and walked out of Jinshan Temple.
After eight years, Xu Xian really wanted to go home. The difference from when he came here was that this time he could finally go to see his sister and master with his head held high.
On the third day of March, on the bank of the West Lake, Xu's Hanwen instantly became an immortal!
As soon as Xu Xian left, Fa Er walked in. Looking back at Xu Xian's retreating figure, Fa Er curled his lips disdainfully and said to Fa Hai, "Brother, do you really want him to go to the West Lake to break the bridge?"
Fahai said disapprovingly: "If he doesn't break the bridge, how can his holy demon soul awaken? If his holy demon soul doesn't awaken, how can he become a saint immediately? Is it really impossible to rely on the so-called way of color and emptiness?"
But Fa Er said with worry, "Brother, what I mean is that at the Broken Bridge Meeting, gods and nuns will go, demons and Buddhas will go. If the saints and demons go again, they will all be your enemies, even if you are one of the saints in this world.
You can't fight one against three. Are you really not prepared to come back alive?"
Fa Hai shook his head and smiled, stopping Fa Er from continuing, and said: "That's why I need a very determined Xu Xian. Well, I have been waiting for this fateful showdown for more than a hundred years, and I am ready.
After more than a hundred years, victory or defeat is determined by God! As for you, have you found any traces of Junior Brother Fake during this trip?"
Hearing this, Fa Er said sadly, "No, he hasn't returned to Tangmen in Central Shu for a hundred years. I'm afraid the situation is in danger. Maybe if the three of us brothers want to get together again, we can only do so in the Western Heaven."
"The Western Heaven is your destination, but it is not my destination. This time, no matter success or failure, I will not ascend to the Western Heaven Buddha Realm?"
"Then where are you going?"
"The world is so big, I always want to go out and wander around, maybe in the heaven world, maybe in the dragon world, maybe in the earth..." Fahai said leisurely and fascinated, "I just don't know how my only bad friend is doing now, Jia
Zhengdao died early, and I came here again. Among the three humble guests in Huayuan, he is the only one left now, alas!"
