On the Avenue.

Chapter 438 If you have a compassionate heart, why do you need white jade makeup?
"At that time, the Yaksha common king established the key point and preached the wonderful sutra in the presence of an immeasurable crowd of hundreds of thousands of millions of people, saying: Because of love, there is sorrow, because of love, there is fear. If one is free from love, there will be no sorrow and no fear."

Saint Xuan looked up and saw that she had arrived at the Bodhi temple. She immediately closed the scripture in her hand, walked up the mountain, and went to see Huiyin Bodhi.

Her master, Master Miaoyin, was also there, as well as a number of uncles and aunts, all sitting in their proper positions.

Since they parted in Xijing, Saint Xuan has grown into a beautiful nun with a charming appearance and a graceful figure.

Her lineage practices meditation in the secular world. They experience the secular world, withdraw from it when they reach the extreme point, enter into meditation, and attain enlightenment, so there is no need to shave their heads.

After returning from Xijing, for some unknown reason, Saint Xuan went into seclusion to practice, and unknowingly entered the state of red dust. Her cultivation improved by leaps and bounds, and now she has eliminated the three corpse gods and reached the state of refining spirit.

Huiyin Bodhi said that she had the Bodhi mind and would attain enlightenment in the future.

Buddhism emphasizes sudden enlightenment, which means putting down the butcher knife and becoming a Buddha instantly. The level of cultivation is not that important. Therefore, the progress of people who have sudden enlightenment is often terrifying.

Originally, Saint Xuan did not experience a romantic relationship with the young master in Xijing, nor did she take part in the major examination in Xijing. Many monks in the Bodhi Temple felt that she would fall out of favor and lose the title of Saint.

But Saint Xuan's cultivation level has improved greatly, but she seems to have experienced a love tribulation, which is really confusing. - The young master was beaten to death, who did she experience a love tribulation with?
Saint Xuan never mentioned this matter. Even when her master, Master Miaoyin, asked her about it, she just smiled and said nothing.

Saint Xuan paid a visit to Huiyin Bodhisattva and told him about her experience of going down the mountain. She recounted what she had seen and heard along the way, the sufferings and difficulties she had encountered among the people, and how she had cured illnesses and saved lives, and subdued ghosts and gods.

It is also said that when human hearts turn into devil hearts, man-made disasters are worse than those caused by ghosts and gods.

She had experienced many hardships and looked even more charming. She said, "The world is now hell. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said that he would not become a Buddha until hell is empty. I am afraid that hell will never be empty."

"That's good, that's good."

Upon hearing this, Huiyin, Bodhi and others said, "In today's world, even our Buddhist sect can only take care of itself. You don't have to blame yourself. All human souls come from the Buddha world, enter the master's body and become life. Everything in the mortal world is just a training for these souls. Some people have to train for thousands of lifetimes before they can achieve great enlightenment and return to the Buddha world to achieve enlightenment. Some people can achieve enlightenment in one lifetime and return to the Buddha world to achieve enlightenment. People like us who practice cultivation must achieve enlightenment in this lifetime."

Master Miaoyin smiled and said, "Bodhi is instructing you not to be confused by the sufferings of the world. The sufferings they endure are their training. We practitioners should observe the sufferings they endure and gain enlightenment to achieve enlightenment."

Saint Xuan said: "Thank you for your guidance, Bodhi, and thank you for your guidance, Master."

She left the temple and looked at the human world shrouded in negative energy. She felt a little confused. Even with Huiyin Bodhi's help, she still couldn't find the answer.

Is there really a Buddhist world in this world?

If the Buddhas' paradise is so wonderful, why do the souls living there have to come to this world to suffer? Isn't the Buddha world beautiful enough?
"Senior sister!"

A few novice monks came over, talking and laughing, but when they saw her, they immediately stopped smiling, clasped their hands together, and bowed to greet her.

Saint Xuan smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Relax and don't think of me as Huiyin Bodhi. I'm not as serious as she is."

One of the novice monks relaxed and said, "This time when we went down the mountain, we met a talisman master from the Hongshan Hall Talisman Master Association who was rescuing people. I went to help and escorted those people to a nearby temple. The temple rises like the sky, and gods are enshrined in it. They say that the light in the temple is the light of the ancestral land of Shenzhou, and that crops can be planted and there will be a harvest."

Another novice monk laughed and said, "Those talisman masters also said that it was their Master Chen who revived these gods. They also invited us to join the talisman master association. We thought that we were all here to save people, so we joined. That night, we met Master Chen. The other talisman masters all said that we were lucky."

"Coach Chen?"

Saint Xuan was slightly startled, then smiled and asked, "Is this Master Chen's surname Chen and his given name Shi?"

Several novice monks nodded repeatedly, and one of them smiled and said, "Sister, do you know Chen Shi? He was the top scholar..."

Another novice monk repeatedly pulled his collar, signaling him to stop talking. The novice monk still didn't understand what was going on, and was about to ask, when he suddenly remembered something: "Oh no! The young master was killed by Chen Shi. This Chen Shi is the number one scholar who killed the young master! The young master is the lover of Saint Xuan..."

He secretly groaned, not knowing how to explain. Saint Xuan smiled and said, "Chen Shi and I are old friends, so you can talk as you please."

The few novice monks didn't dare to say anything more and left in a hurry after saying goodbye.

Saint Xuan smiled and said silently in her heart: "When the name Chen Shi is mentioned again, my heart is no longer disturbed. Master is right, if you let go of the one you love, you will have no worries and no fears. I have let it go, so I can kill the three corpses and achieve supernatural powers."

She walked towards her meditation room. At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind her: "Xuanxuan, long time no see. How are you?"

Saint Xuan was greatly shocked, and her mind, which had been tempered by meditation, suddenly became a mess.

She thought she had already let go of love, killed the three corpses, and had no lust anymore, but she didn't expect that after being called, a hundred knots of emotions entangled in her heart again.

Saint Xuan turned around and saw Chen Shi standing at the gate of the Bodhi Temple, waving at her from afar.

Saint Xuan was standing in the wind with a radiant grace, looking at the man at the mountain gate. Behind her was a white jade statue of a giant Buddha, majestic and magnificent, overlooking all living beings.

"Donor Chen, I am donating my body to you. Can you please not fight for the title of No. 1?"

“What is physical donation?”

"It means to pledge my love to you!"

……

Saint Xuan smiled and walked down the mountain. After a while, the two walked on the white jade steps and came to the Buddha Light Platform of the Bodhi Dharma Field. It is said that you can see the Buddha light from the Buddhist world here. If you are lucky, you can even see the shadows of big Buddhas in the sea of ​​clouds. It seems that they are sitting in the Buddhist world, giving lectures, and the sky is full of flowers.

However, Chen Shi arrived at an inopportune time and only saw the endless sea of ​​clouds. The mountaintops of the Bodhi Dharma Field looked like golden summits or unsinkable islands in the sea of ​​clouds.

"Donor Chen, are you here specifically to see me?" Saint Xuan asked.

Chen Shi shook his head and said, "No. I was reviving the Chinese gods nearby and thought of you being here, so I ran over. I didn't come all the way to see you."

Saint Xuan was still very happy and said with a smile: "You are so thoughtful that you can come."

Chen Shi really wanted to explain to her that he was just passing by, but after thinking about it, he decided to give up.

When old friends meet, there is naturally a lot to talk about.

Almost a year has passed since the disaster, and many things have happened to everyone. Saint Xuan told Chen Shi about her travels during this period, and how she felt lost and confused because of seeing people suffering. She also mentioned Hui Yin Bodhi's words, saying, "Now I don't know whether I should go down the mountain to save more people. Or should I sit quietly, feel the world and leave emotions to gain enlightenment."

Chen Shi looked up at the white jade Buddha statue behind her and said thoughtfully, "If you have a compassionate heart, why do you need white jade makeup? The Bodhi Dharma Hall is magnificent, with piles of jade and jewels, and golden Buddhas everywhere. The great monks and Zen masters sit in meditation, with no worries about food and clothing. How is it different from this white jade Buddha?"

Saint Xuan said angrily, "You said that my Bodhi Dharma Hall has no compassion!"

Chen Shi smiled and said, "I didn't say that. I said that the Bodhi Temple is indeed a holy place of the times!"

Saint Xuan said: "You just said it!"

"I didn't! Don't slander me!"

Saint Xuan glared at him angrily. After a moment, she suddenly seemed to lose her temper. She smiled and said, "What about you? What have you been doing in the past year?"

Chen Shi then told her about his experiences over the past few days, about his search for those ancient temples, his battle with the Hill of Despair, his own transformation into a demon, his saving people, and much more.

Saint Xuan did not interrupt him. She just looked at him quietly and listened to him continue. Her heart was calm and peaceful.

She seemed to have entered a state of neither thought nor non-thought, with no thoughts in her mind. Chen Shi's words were like pictures, taking her through all kinds of worldly affairs and experiencing the joys and sorrows of the world.
This is a wonderful way of practice. In Buddhism, it is called "The Sutra of the Six Paths of Reincarnation". It follows people's thoughts, as if experiencing one reincarnation after another, and increases their understanding.

After Chen Shi finished speaking, he was in a daze.

Saint Xuan woke up from the wonderful meditation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Sutra and asked, "What are you thinking about, donor?"

"I wonder if I can really change the world with my own strength. Sometimes, I feel that I am too small, just a mayfly in the universe, a grain of sand in the vast ocean."

Chen Shi smiled and said, "I am worried that one day, I will be shattered into pieces."

Saint Xuan looked at his profile and found that he was much more mature and less childish than when he was in Xijing.

"What do you need me to do?" she asked suddenly.

Chen Shi was in high spirits. He turned around and faced her, smiling, "I need you to go down the mountain and join the Hongshan Hall Talisman Master Association. Use your Buddhist teachings to help more people, save more people, find more ancient temples, and revive more ancient Chinese gods! Xuanxuan, I need you to find more people to do this, to go into the wind and fire, into the disaster, fight with ghosts and gods, and fight with people's hearts."

His eyes were enthusiastic and he said loudly: "Xuanxuan, let the Buddha stay on the mountain. I need you to go down the mountain to subdue the demons and defend the way!"

"Okay! I promise you!" Saint Xuan said decisively.

Not long after, a novice monk came running to see Huiyin Bodhi, Master Miaoyin and others, shouting, "Bodhi, something terrible has happened! Chen Shi went up the mountain, and with a few words, he kidnapped Saint Xuan! Saint Xuan also took many of her fellow disciples away, saying that she was going to go down the mountain to subdue demons and defend the Dao!"

"Bastard!"

Master Miaoyin slammed the table and said angrily, "When Chen Yindu came to the mountain, he almost kidnapped someone. His grandson followed suit and also ran to the mountain to kidnap people! Now, he has kidnapped my disciple!"

Huiyin Bodhi said, "Miaoyin, let them go."

"You were the one who was almost kidnapped back then, so of course you said let them go!"

Nun Miaoyin rushed out of the Golden Palace and sneered, "I'm going to catch my stupid disciple back!"

Saint Xuan led many monks from the Bodhi Temple into the vast human world. She looked back at the main peak of the Bodhi Temple and waved her hand.

"Donor Chen, I'm giving you a scroll of Buddhist scriptures. I hope you'll study it often." She handed a scroll of Buddhist scriptures to Chen Shi and left with the monks and nuns.

Chen Shi boarded the wooden cart and opened the scripture. He saw a Bodhi leaf sandwiched between one page. It must be Saint Xuan who had read to this point.

"From love comes sorrow, from love comes fear. If you are separated from the one you love, there will be no worries and no fear..."

When Chen Shi read to this point, he looked at the cover of the book, which read "The Sutra of the Cause and Effect of the King of Wonderful Colors".
