Passing through the world of flowers, Su Xing stepped into the air, and the surrounding scene disappeared, and landed on a stone suspended in the air. Su Xing took a look, and when he looked around, there were about 3,000 boulders suspended in the air. , each stone obviously corresponds to an entrance of a flower and a world.
The air in the sixth level of the seventh level pagoda stopped flowing.
The sky was overcast and cloudy, as if it was about to press down.
Su Xing looked down and suddenly took a breath.
Underneath is the vast sea of evil, looking around, it is boundless, and there is no end. No need to guess at all, Su Xing immediately knew what test the sixth level of the seventh level pagoda was about.
sea of bitterness!
The most famous theory of the sea of suffering in Buddhism and Taoism.
"The sea of bitterness has no limit, turn your head and keep going!"
Even people who are completely ignorant of Buddhism and Taoism have heard this sentence.
"Mr. Su."
The gentle voice shouted.
Su Xing looked sideways, and saw a woman in Tsing Yi appeared on a surrounding stone, it was none other than Celadon. Then Wu Siyou and Chan Xin stepped out of the stone one hundred meters away, and further away, eminent monks of the Buddhist sect came out one after another.
Three thousand avenues are already halfway through.
"this is… "
Suddenly, I heard a panicked sound, and saw an eminent monk trying to fly his weapon over the sea of bitterness, but he took off Li Shishi, and immediately fell down and fell into the sea of bitterness. Others tried to do the same, but failed one after another .
Su Xing frowned and gave it a try. Sure enough, as soon as the stone came out, an invisible force pressed towards his whole body, pressing down from the sea of suffering. It seems that this level must be passed through the sea of suffering.
Wu Siyou, Qing Ci, and Chan Xin gathered towards Su Xing. Before they knew it, the three women had already regarded Su Xing as their backbone. "This is the sea of suffering in the Buddhist kingdom? The seven-level pagoda is really mysterious." Wu Siyou exclaimed.
"Is this level just to pass through this sea of suffering?" Qingci pondered.
"What is Su Xing benefactor doing?" Chan Xin was puzzled seeing Su Xing keep turning her head.
"Oh, doesn't the Buddha often say that the sea of suffering is boundless, and turning back is the shore?" Su Xing replied while turning his head, "I'm trying to see if it's such a mystery..."
"..."
The three women were speechless.
In the end, Su Xing's neck was sore, and there was still no movement in the bitter sea, and he didn't see any signs of the seventh level.
"It would be nice if it was that simple." Qingci smiled.
Su Xing would rather be simpler, like one flower one world. "It seems that we can only cross this sea of suffering."
The sea of bitterness is knee-high, not too deep, and the water is pitch black, exuding an indescribable sense of heaviness. Other monks have already stepped into the sea of bitterness and began to struggle towards the other shore. The Buddha's light is majestic, and compared to Su Xing's shabby side, it really has an aura of "crossing the sea of bitterness".
In the sea of bitterness, it seemed like several hours had passed in this journey.
Su Xing couldn't hold back his temper. Seeing that Chan Xin was walking along the sea of suffering like other monks, he asked curiously, "Chan Xin, why are you so obsessed with Buddhism? Listen to Xin's explanation, you can't even fight against stars. Not participating? Is it really so important to understand the Zen mind?"
"Is it important?" Chan Xin asked back.
Su Xing was stunned, and was speechless for a moment; indeed, what he thought was important might not necessarily be important in the eyes of others, and the so-called value was not worth it, so it was up to others to decide.
"Without Tianguxing, the other sisters will be lucky." Qingci said softly. No matter what, Tianguxing is the most powerful star fighter in the Seven Stars Gathering. After all, it is a good thing to lose a strong opponent, but for For those military generals with top strength, it would be a pity not to have such a powerful opponent as Tianguxing.
Chan Xin was about to speak, suddenly at this moment, Tian Gu Xing was dizzy, as if struck by lightning, almost fell down, Su Xing who was standing next to her supported her, stunned: "Why..." Before he could speak, at the same time, Suddenly, he felt a pain like Lingchi sweeping his whole body. The moment he flicked his fingers, Su Xing only felt his consciousness shrinking rapidly, and then the whole world disappeared, and his consciousness was condensed into a seed that was wrapped and squeezed by the sea of bitterness, a feeling of powerlessness all over his body. Immediately hit my heart.
Su Xing hastily used the heart-like mirror-extreme sincerity technique. Fortunately, he had already tasted the most painful pain in the world when he was practicing unfinished escape. With the help of Xinru Mingjing, it seemed that the pain that Yu Yu couldn't get out of was only a few seconds. The star immediately regained its clarity.
But Chan Xin was not so fast, her brows were furrowed, her expression was bitter, she was trying to persevere, and Wu Siyou and Qingci were the same.
After a long while, several people were finally relieved and let out a long breath.
"Could it be a side effect of the sea of bitterness?" Su Xing wondered.
"That just now... might be..." Chan Xin frowned, and she was in the middle of her sentence.
"What could it be?" Everyone was curious.
Chan Xin calmly said: "It may be the eight sufferings."
"Eight Ku?" Su Xing rubbed his temples, not quite understanding.
Wu Siyou then explained: "Birth is suffering, old age is suffering, illness is suffering, death is suffering, love and separation are suffering, resentment and hatred are suffering, not getting what one wants, and the five skandhas are the eight sufferings that the Buddha called..."
"Wife, can you explain it in detail." Su Xing asked humbly, the philosophy of Buddhism is as vast as the sea, although I have reported to the Buddha's feet temporarily, there are still many things I can't understand at all.
The Buddha said that the eight sufferings are the eight kinds of bitter fruits suffered by all living beings in the six realms of reincarnation. Not to mention that Buddhism and Taoism are very famous, even in the Liangshan Continent, both monks and ordinary people know something about it, so Wu Xinjie did not supplement this knowledge to Su Xing. In fact, it is easy to understand according to the literal meaning.
The pain of birth is the pain of crying at birth, the pain of old age, the pain of sickness, the pain of death, and the pain of parting from loved ones. It means that everyone will experience the pain from young to old, suffering from illness, death and loved ones, and parting from loved ones. Resentment, hatred, and suffering refer to those who are often hated and hated. They originally wanted to stay away, but gathered instead. Unable to seek suffering refers to all things in the world. Those who love and enjoy themselves cannot obtain what they seek, and the final suffering of the five shades refers to the "form", "feeling", "thinking", "action" and "consciousness" of all living beings. "The five aggregates are the accumulation of suffering such as birth, old age, sickness and death.
After listening to the explanation, Su Xing understood, and admired this Buddhism a little, as expected, he sees all living beings very thoroughly, no wonder it can become a kind of faith.
"Chanxin, do you mean that in this endless sea of suffering, we may suffer from the eight sufferings of Buddhism?" Su Xing frowned, and after thinking about it carefully, the sudden pain just now did have the meaning of life suffering.
"Well, the sea of suffering is boundless, and the eight sufferings of the human body will only become more and more serious. Even some eminent monks who have attained the Tao can hardly get out of the sea of suffering. All benefactors, Chan Xin still thinks it is better to leave first."
Her words were neither dismissive nor ostentatious.
It is a huge samsara for Buddhist and Taoist monks to go through the eight sufferings, and they may not be able to really get rid of it, let alone Su Xing. Celadon is only half-knowledgeable about Buddhism, although Su Xing's Zen mind is indeed outstanding in Tian Guxing's eyes. It means that the sea of suffering is vast, and if one does not have a strong will to pursue the path of Buddhism, it is absolutely impossible to cross this sea of suffering.
Rather than encountering that kind of human pain, it is better to let it go.
"Just like that?" Su Xing chuckled.
"Huh?" Chan Xin was puzzled by Su Xing's ease.
"I didn't expect this sixth-level heaven to be so simple. Don't worry, I've already gotten used to it when it comes to suffering." Su Xing shook his head, nonchalantly: "I want to see how deep the sea of suffering in the Buddhist family is!"
"Good." Chan put his heart together and said nothing.
"Celadon, Siyou, do you want to go back first?" Su Xing asked with concern, he has practiced the heart like a mirror, and it is a coincidence that he has never been afraid of suffering, but Wu Siyou and Qingci are not so easy.
"How can I escape as a concubine?" Wu Siyou didn't hesitate.
Celadon also nodded slightly. "Since we have reached the sixth level, there is no reason to back down, is there?" The girl smiled very gently, as if a spring breeze was blowing her heart in this bitter sea.
"Forget it."
Several people then walked in the sea of suffering. The entire void world was chaotic, gloomy, and oppressive. The deeper they went into the sea of suffering, the more intense the invisible heaviness became, and gradually there was a sense of despair.
Just as Chan Xin expected, after the "suffering of life", aging face among the eight sufferings of the human body, "suffering of old age" with heart failure, internal organs, "sickness" of limbs and bones, and suffering of death followed one after another.
The expressions of the three goddesses also became painful, and even Tiangu Xingchan seemed to be struggling in the boundless sea of suffering, unable to move an inch.
Countless cries of fear, pain, and even despair floated above the dead sea of suffering. Not only them, but also other Buddhist monks who had reached this point began to be tortured one by one, and sank into the sea of suffering one after another.
In this atmosphere, Su Xing's heart like a mirror was also subjected to an unprecedented test.
When it came to the pain of love and parting, Wu Siyou grabbed Su Xing's hand uncharacteristically, his nails seemed to be dug into the flesh, his expression broke Su Xing's heart, obviously the pain of love and parting was more intense than the previous four pains, celadon Slowly unable to hold on anymore, he immediately waved his hand and let out an ancient bell, which rang in his ears, the ancient voiceless voice barely kept Qingci awake.
Su Xing also felt a little distressed when she saw it, and grabbed her with the other hand.
If the duckweed is life-saving, after Qingci grabbed Su Xing's hand, he held it firmly, refusing to let go.
Looking at Chan Xin chanting the mantra, holding a rosary, and using authentic Buddhism to overcome the eight sufferings of the world, it is indeed easier than Wu Siyou and Qingci, but as time goes by, Chan Xin also becomes more and more difficult.
Seeing this, Su Xing stepped forward a few steps and leaned on his shoulder.
Chan Xin opened her hazy eyes, not wanting to rely on Su Xing.
However, Su Xing couldn't control that much anymore. He meditated on his mind and turned his mind like a bright mirror to the extreme. The turbulent sea of evil calmed down in an instant. The female bitterness gradually weakened, and even Chan Xin couldn't help but be attracted by this profound tranquility, and no longer resisted.
In the sea of bitterness, one man and three women seem to be fused into one body, and the sea of bitterness around him is unbelievably clear and transparent.
When the three girls recovered from the sea of suffering, it was Xiafei who hurriedly left Su Xing's side with both cheeks.
"I was rude just now." Su Xing was embarrassed, knowing that Wu Siyou would not care, the main thing was to apologize to Zen Xin and Celadon.
"Su Jun is really..." Qingci didn't know what to say.
Seeing that Su Xing was calm and composed in the boundless sea of suffering, Zen Xin couldn't believe that he could help them, so he asked in a voice.
"Who are you?!"
