For example, if a living person dies suddenly, his soul will become a ghost, and his body will become a corpse. When the ghost dies, its components will become part of the world of the underworld, and the corpse will also turn into ashes when burned. water.

In this world, complete annihilation does not exist, but it is the same as creation out of nothing, it is a supreme power.

Therefore, Li Xiaoxiao judged that these powers of faith that could not be "delivered" should be hidden in the depths of this void.

Suddenly, Li Xiaoxiao felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart.

Because she remembered a leadership speech that Zhike Seng learned and used just now, her perspective could not help but follow that speech to rise infinitely, and she was drawn away from Jigongshan Temple.

She seemed to see the entire Heitan Mansion, the entire state city, the entire vice capital, and then the entire Yanxia land border.

How many mountain villages and towns are there in the hot summer land, which accounts for [-]% of the world's land area?

Even excluding the population of those big cities, the population of mountain villages and towns alone is definitely more than the total population of the Three True Gods camp, right?

Even if these temples seem to be hindered by certain restrictions, they are not too active in developing believers, they are waiting for people to come to them, and more than 90.00% of them are elderly people.

Even so, compared with a certain true god camp alone, the number of believers will not be less than the number of followers of the three true gods.

That is to say, for so many years, how much power of faith that could not be "delivered" has accumulated in Yanxia territory?

If he wanted to, wouldn't Yanxia be able to instantly create a Buddha who was comparable to the Three True Gods, or even surpassed?

Boom, boom, boom—

After an unknown amount of time, Li Xiaoxiao's thoughts were pulled back by the rhythmic sound of wooden fish.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Not only Li Xiaoxiao, but other old people in the palace also woke up one after another almost at this moment.

Looking at this scene, Li Xiaoxiao felt very miraculous. The old monk did not use any spells, or other means that could be perceived and called abilities.

The rhythm of the wooden fish's sound didn't seem to change, but it not only brought her back from deep thought, but also woke up other old people who were immersed in the "bath" of their souls.

The old people got up one after another, or put their hands together in return, or directly thanked the old monk, expressing their gratitude to the old monk.

And even the Zhike monk who was leading the way beside her looked at the old monk with reverence at the moment.

When a practitioner reaches a certain stage, he can use some qi-watching techniques to see the general luck of the other party, whether it is ups and downs or not. For Li Xiaoxiao, this basic technique is like binoculars. She can see that the old monk There is a slight improvement in the virtuous energy of the body.

Yes, the old monk is one who has been blessed with human merit.

She didn't know what other practitioners thought, but seeing this scene, she felt a little out of balance.

The old monk quietly listened to them expressing their gratitude, and only responded by saluting with one hand.

Finally, when the hall was quiet again, he finally opened his mouth and said: "Okay, benefactors, it's already late at night, and your family members are already very worried about coming. The temple near your home has already made arrangements to escort you back safely." If you are far away from home, let's rest in the meditation room in the temple tonight. However, there are not enough single meditation rooms, so we need to squeeze a little bit, and I hope everyone will make do with it."

What surprised Li Xiaoxiao was that she had been standing outside the temple gate for so long, knocking on the wooden fish and not lecturing on scriptures. The first sentence she spoke was not at all subtle, and the Dharma was profound. Instead, she directly spoke to arrange for them tonight Safety issues along the way home and the problems of elderly people living far away from home staying in temples.

In an instant, he changed from a great mage to an old monk, and the transformation was quick and without any abruptness.

But hearing what the old monk said, all the "old benefactors" had different opinions.

"Master, are you leaving?"

"My house is just down the mountain, but I don't want to leave!"

"No way, no way, I don't want to go either."

"I remember that there are several Datong shops in the meditation room on the left?

Let's go to Datong shop tonight to talk in bed. I feel that after listening to the great master's lecture today, I feel comfortable everywhere. I feel like I am ten years younger. Now I can't sleep at all, I don't want to sleep! "

"Yes, I don't want to sleep either!"

"Let's also learn from those young people and stay up all night."

"..."

Seeing a group of old people suddenly turned into a group of old children, the more they talk, the more shameful they are. It’s fine if they don’t want to go home and want to live outside with their friends, but they even said things like staying up all night. Only after a group of old monks taught the Fa did they realize The remaining monks started to appease them one by one.

Knowing that the old monk promised to stay in the temple for three days, he smiled happily and obeyed the arrangement. However, at most, he would not stay up all night, and it was impossible to go home. Everyone has already decided to sleep in the Datong bunk in the temple tonight. It's the kind of people lying side by side, regardless of whether it's male or female. If an old lady lies next to the old man, he will win the big prize.

The two old friends and their old friends were making all sorts of nasty jokes, the joking old man and the old woman finally saw the fairy girl standing outside the palace gate under the sign of their friends, and suddenly they all blushed, as if they had made a mistake The little child came to Li Xiaoxiao coyly.

"Xiaoxiao, why are you here?" The old lady was thin-skinned, feeling that she had exposed her bad side in front of the younger generation, and couldn't open her mouth, so the old man asked.

Seeing the other side that has never been shown in front of the juniors of the family, Li Xiaoxiao also felt a little bit in her heart, and thought, maybe here, without the gaze of the juniors, they would be more comfortable here.

With a girlish smile on her face, she said: "Mom and Dad see that it's getting late and you haven't come home yet, and they are afraid that you will be in danger, so let me come and have a look."

Speaking of this, she waved her hand and said, "It's fine to see that you are safe. You can go with them. I will go back and talk to them later, and just report that you are safe."

The other old people had already walked towards the meditation room under the guidance of a group of monks. The old couple looked at the team going away, and the old man turned his head and said to Li Xiaoxiao: "Then go back and talk to your parents so that they don't have to worry about it." , we just stay here for one night...tomorrow...uh, we will go back after the great master finishes his lecture."

After finishing speaking, he dragged the old lady to chase the team, and the old lady waved to Li Xiaoxiao many times, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say it in the end.

Li Xiaoxiao roughly understood what she meant, and should have told her not to describe what she had just seen in too much detail when she went back.

Li Xiaoxiao looked at the old lady who was about to disappear under the steps, suddenly blinked playfully, and nodded silently, a happy smile burst out on the old lady's face instantly, and the two female creatures of different generations silently reached a tacit understanding .

After all the people in the hall had left, the old monk who had been watching them leave slowly got up, and habitually lightly tapped his calf a few times, as if he was using this to revitalize the somewhat paralyzed calf muscles.

Opening the wooden cabinet on the side of the pulpit, he put the preaching stuff, including the wooden fish and the wooden stick in his hand, into the cabinet, and then took off the gleaming golden cassock, folded it skillfully and put it inside.

"Hello, old mage." While busy with work, a beautiful female voice came from the audience.

The old monk, who was wearing a yellow monk robe and no cassock, felt that his grade had dropped several steps in an instant, so he turned around and saluted with palms together: "Hello, Layman Li."

It seemed that the two sides were one high and the other low, and it was not good for him to be condescending, so he went down the steps after greeting him.

The old monk is half a head shorter than Li Xiaoxiao.

Li Xiaoxiao tilted her head and asked curiously: "Is the old mage a virtuous monk from somewhere else, you know me too?"

The old monk clasped his hands together and said with a smile, "Layman Li seems to have a little bit of a wrong understanding of himself. When I decided to come to Jigongshan Temple to teach the Dharma and learn about the Shezha people nearby, I asked five people one after another. It is ranked first, and I will naturally keep it firmly in my heart."

Li Xiaoxiao became more and more curious, and asked: "Does the old mage need to do homework in advance when he comes to teach the Dharma? I thought that when a virtuous monk like you came to popularize the Dharma, it was just a thought, and when the opportunity came, he was happy. Then it floats in, and after the popularization of the law is over, it just floats away."

The old monk was amused by her words, and said with a smile: "Layman Li is thinking about it, old monk, I don't have such supernatural powers. Not only do I have to step on the spot to do my homework, but I also have to worry about the round-trip toll and boat tickets. It is very difficult to go out." difficult."

Li Xiaoxiao nodded, she probably understood a little bit, and then said curiously: "I came late just now, when I came, I only heard you knocking on the wooden fish, but I didn't hear your lecture. I don't know what you said. Are they that mesmerized?"

The old monk didn't answer, but asked curiously, "What does Layman Li think I will say?"

Li Xiaoxiao thought about it seriously, and guessed:

"Although it is very different from what I have seen in the literature and history classics, it feels that the current Buddhism and Zen are more intrinsically connected, right?

Zen Buddhism advocates that all living beings have Buddha-nature, and that enlightenment should not be falsely sought outside, and abandon the meaning of words, and go straight to the source of the heart.If you see your nature clearly, you can become a Buddha. "

Speaking of which, seeing the smiling expression of the old monk, she smiled a little embarrassedly, and said:

"This is also some of my cognitions that I have pieced together from some literary and historical classics. Don't make fun of me, the Archmage... I think it is probably the same. However, the Archmage is profound in Buddhism, not me. Laymen are comparable, and it should be because they have realized the meaning of small words, so they are so intoxicated, right?"

The old monk shook his head and said with a smile:

"Li Jushi doesn't play tricks, on the theoretical level, you have completely grasped the essence.

However, to disappoint Layman Li, I didn't say anything.

In fact, they are all very common things. If the audience is mostly young people, I will talk about respecting the old and loving the young, being dedicated to work, eager for public service, and willing to help others;

If there are many elderly people like this today, I will mainly talk about caring for all beings, protecting life and abstaining from killing, caring for younger generations, being harmonious with neighbors, being magnanimous, and giving to the poor if you have spare energy. "

Li Xiaoxiao was surprised and said, "This... isn't this what the officials say every day, every year?"

So unexpected, so ordinary.

This can also make people mesmerized?

He looked suspiciously at the old monk in front of him, wondering if he was entertaining himself.

The old monk smiled and asked, "Does Layman Li think these principles are wrong?"

Li Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Of course the truth is correct, but, according to my observation, there are not many people who really care about these truths, and I have never seen anyone who can listen to them like a fascination."

The old monk nodded and said: "The truth is correct, and everyone agrees from the bottom of their hearts that this truth is right, but people's hearts are against the truth imposed on them from above.

This is probably the biggest difference between me and the official speaker, it can make the listeners feel no resistance.

When these truths emerge from their nature, I am actually a guide to let them realize what emerges from their hearts, and they will naturally feel beauty, happiness, and joy from it.

That's why they were so happy, in that moment, they realized their true nature. "

Speaking of this, he said with emotion: "If there is someone who does not agree with this truth from the bottom of his heart and thinks it is nonsense, even if I tear my old bones into firewood and burn them, he will not feel mesmerized. I just feel that the old guy is noisy and talking nonsense."

Listening to what he said casually, Li Xiaoxiao was not so stupid as to really think it was easy.

Even if her strength and means surpassed him by tens of millions, she had no idea at all about what he said.

Buddha, the enlightened one.

Consciously, feel him.

Awakening is complete.

Zen, clear mind and see nature.

In the seemingly understatement of the old monk's narration, she saw the shadows of these people.

There was a lot of shock in her heart.

She has admitted that this is also a miraculous way of practice, and it is not the same kind of practice as hers. The old monk has no cultivation at all, or because he often walks around, his health is better than ordinary old people, but his body Some endowments, just as he sees himself who can fly and travel, also need to be looked up to.

After a moment of silence, recalling what she had just seen, she spoke again: "I haven't congratulated the Archmage yet, but just now I saw that your merit has increased again."

For the first time, the old monk who always had a smile on his face changed into a wry smile.

Shaking his head and clasping his hands together, he said, "Layman Li, you cultivators talk about inner demons. For those of us who practice Buddhism, this human merit is the greatest inner demon."

Li Xiaoxiao was stunned: "Isn't the merit of humanity not good? Practitioners improve their talents and roots. Anyone, whether alive or dead, can be conferred as a god. After going to the world of the underworld, they can become a high-level ghost cultivator. His favoritism not only makes the living jealous, but the dead are even more jealous."

The old monk nodded and said:

"It's because it's so good. Therefore, more and more monks have become meritorious monks. The purpose is no longer to cultivate Buddhahood, but to cultivate merit.

Although your practice requires suffering and torment, it is once certified for ever, once obtained for ever.

But our practice needs to be done all the time, trembling, like walking on thin ice, the sudden enlightenment of the mind comes and goes faster, if we can't always be careful, then everything will be like a dream, without a trace. "

Having said that, he couldn't help shaking his head.

Then, as if he realized that he was not in the right state, he hurriedly put his hands together, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and silently recited a scripture, and then stabilized his mentality again.

Li Xiaoxiao tilted her head and thought for a while. Although she knew that it was not easy for the old monk to control her mind, she couldn't help but express her thoughts:

"Great Master, why do I feel that in the eyes of Yanxia Humanity, you think that a virtuous monk who is not on the right path may be better?

Moreover, the requirements for xinxing are not so strict, and it is better to cultivate them in batches. "

The old monk's complexion changed, he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he quickly shut up, and he seemed to be reciting scriptures on controlling the mind in his heart.

Li Xiaoxiao felt that it would be too immoral to tease people at this time, so she said with a smile: "Master, thank you for clearing up a lot of confusion for me. It's late at night, you can go to rest, I'm leaving."

After saying that, he stepped out of the hall, and the next moment, the person had already lifted off the ground, flew into the sky, and disappeared into the night.

Seeing her disappear completely, the old monk breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Back home, Li Xiaoxiao reported to her parents that she was safe, saying that her grandparents might stay in the temple for a few days.

But he learned from his father that monks from the monastery had come to report the news before, and they came twice, once not long after she left, saying that they would come back later, and once not long before she came back, and said again They will stay in the temple.

Knowing that the arrangement in the temple was in place, Li Xiaoxiao stopped talking and went back to her room.

She recalled the two conversations with the Zhike monk and the old monk in the temple today. After a while, she took out the book that the Zhike monk gave her from the storage bag.

"Summary of the Three Symposiums and an Overview of the Changes in Buddhism"

With her strong mental power, a book printed for ordinary people can be read in 10 minutes.

But after reading it, she fell into long-term contemplation.

She has embarked on the road of cultivation since she awakened from her previous life at the age of six. Although her physical talent is not a genius at the level of a special practice academy or even Liuyi Academy, she has always been the best among her peers. Higher practice institute.

Her eyes are always in the front, in the distance, and she has never found that there is such a past at her feet, behind her, in the humble bottom of Yunyun.

In the more than 200 years after the change of the sky, Buddhist conferences of all sizes were held every year, every day, and there were three largest symposiums with central core figures.

The first symposium took place in the second year of the new calendar.

Not long after the change of heaven, the whole country was in turmoil and the world was in turmoil.
