The world of spiritual practice is also a place where strength is important. No matter how idle you are, if you don't have tyrannical strength, you will never be free and easy.
Therefore, the Taoist Buddha not only has great wisdom, but also has supreme power.
At the beginning, the Emperor of Heaven was able to restrain the immortals not because of his virtue, but because of his great magical power, which almost jumped out of the Three Realms and no longer included the Five Elements.
For example, as long as Lu Jiuyuan is still in charge of the Xuantian Sect, he will be the number one immortal sect in the world of ironclad cultivation, and no one can shake it.
Eternal life and freedom are empty talk without strength.
Shen Lian sighed secretly.
He stood up and pushed open the door. Ruoxi was outside, looking at Shen Lian with wide eyes and said, "Who is that person?"
"An old friend."
Ruoxi hesitated for a moment, then showed a firm gaze and said, "I don't like him."
Shen Lian said in surprise: "Why."
Ruoxi thought for a moment, and then said seriously: "That breath is very uncomfortable. My uncle also has that kind of breath, which is very unclean."
Shen Lian knew in his heart that Ruo Xi was talking about the killing aura, which represented blood and death.
She is now pure and flawless, so naturally she won't like it.
Shen Lian's Taoist robe shook, as if something had been shaken off. His temperament was pure. Standing there, it would only remind people of the words 'immortal wind Taoist bones'. He then smiled and said: "Now."
Ruoxi stretched out her nose, smelled it, and said, "No more."
Shen Lian smiled inwardly, he was still a child after all.
He restrained his aura and hid it from the sky. Even if Ruo Xi's spiritual sense was very sharp, he could easily hide it from him.
At this time, the catkins were flying, the flowers were blooming and falling in front of the court, and the white clouds in the sky were gathering and separating. Ruoxi thought, how wonderful it would be if time could stay at this moment forever.
In fact, she didn't ask for much at all, and she didn't have the determination to go through all the obstacles to seek the truth. She just wanted to be with her uncle all the time.
Shen Lian stared at the mountain, with the sound of wind blowing in his ears. He thought more, not only about himself, but also about others. The world would eventually change, and he had to do something for himself and others.
Then Shen Lian suddenly sensed something, and he moved and appeared outside Qingxuan. He saw a young woman coming with a sword, and he stopped her.
As soon as the woman saw Shen Lian, she recognized him. She immediately stopped her sword and said with a slight cry: "Uncle Shen, please save my master."
——
Venerable Baoyue of Jinguang Temple is very famous in the Western Wilderness, and he is also one of the few living golden Arhats. His magical power can be compared with the eight Zen masters of the eight mainstream sects of Buddhism.
Ever since he subdued the Demon King Hai Gongzi who dominates the world, his reputation has been as high as ever.
It's just that the other monks in Xihuang don't want to see him because his Buddhism has entered the devil's way. Together with Huike, he promotes the heretical doctrine of Zen, making the obedient people no longer peaceful.
The monks naturally have the Dharma to suppress the people who are bewitched, but it is difficult for them to suppress the monks who are also deceived. They also have the Dharma.
Moreover, after listening to Venerable Baoyue and Huike's sermons, many people never came back and changed their homes.
Fortunately, Huike has not appeared for several years, otherwise the impact would have been even greater.
Although Venerable Baoyue was very capable, he was far inferior to Huike in terms of deceiving people's minds. Therefore, there were far fewer monks who changed their sects.
Because Venerable Baoyue is very powerful and has accepted demon kings such as Mr. Hai as his disciples, even if some monks are dissatisfied with him, they dare not go to the golden Arhat to reason with him.
Mr. Hai was originally a very extravagant person, but he became a monk and lived a very poor life.
His body is a divine snake, and that's all there is to it. Only the abstinence from sexual desire makes him very sad.
He consulted with the monk for reasoning, but Venerable Baoyue just smiled and answered him. If he really couldn't hold it in any longer, he would help him get rid of his dusty heart. As for how to get rid of the dusty mind, it is natural to cut off the root of right and wrong.
Mr. Hai almost got into a fight with the monk, but unfortunately, he was cursed by the monk and could not be beaten.
The days just passed with the chanting of the Buddha's name. Mr. Hai didn't think that Buddhism could change anything.
Moreover, monks often lecture on Buddhism to those fools, but unfortunately, few of them can understand it. Even if there are people who understand it, they cannot achieve the state of what the Buddhist scriptures say.
Therefore, although Baoyue said that "one move leads to sudden enlightenment and instant Buddhahood," no one has actually achieved it. There are also people who originally believed in Zen Buddhism, but after a while, they changed back to the Three Treatises Sect, Huayan Sect, etc.
Mr. Hai was used to being a demon king and could not tolerate betrayal, so he told the monk that he should catch the defecting monks and use Buddhist teachings to plant in their minds the idea of lifelong belief in Zen Buddhism.
However, Venerable Baoyue stopped him and said that the Dharma that changes people's beliefs is not Dharma, but magic.
The true Dharma does not make people lose themselves, but makes people understand themselves.
Mr. Hai is most annoyed by this, but he also thinks it makes sense, so he won't say more.
Although staying in the temple is boring and boring, it is also rare to find peace after a long time. At least he has been a monster for a long time, and he has never been as peaceful as he has been in the past few years.
But apart from abstinence, there is another bad thing here, that is, the monk Baoyue said that he wanted to re-enter the reincarnation, and hoped that he would be the abbot of the Jinguang Temple after he entered the reincarnation.
No matter how Mr. Hai looks at the monk, he doesn't look like he's going to die. Even if someone really wants to enter reincarnation, it must be him, because his catastrophe is coming soon and will come together with the catastrophe of heaven and earth. According to common sense, he will definitely not be able to survive it. .
Until that day, bursts of golden light suddenly appeared in the temple, and Mr. Hai knew that it was Venerable Baoyue who was practicing Buddhism.
Seeing the power of this golden light, Mr. Hai couldn't help but think that the monk's magical power had increased again.
The golden light covered the entire temple, and a majestic halo suddenly rose in the sky and earth.
A sword roar sounded from the void, and almost instantly, all the golden light was annihilated by the sword light. That was Venerable Baoyue's supreme Dharma, and it was broken so easily.
Mr. Hai immediately wanted to run away, because he might not be able to defeat these two people.
For the Demon King, it is simply instinct to run away if he cannot be defeated.
If you fight to the end, you will be a stupid monster. Of course, the stupid monster will not be able to become the demon king, and it will not survive now.
The sword light annihilated the golden light and shattered the halo. Under the moonlight in the void, a young man wearing aqua blue robes appeared. There was a long sword on his back, with a faint red glow, and the sword had not been unsheathed.
His appearance is really ordinary, his facial features are not three-dimensional, but his eyes are very bright.
The young man in aqua blue robes stood quietly in the void, looking at Venerable Baoyue sitting cross-legged on the pagoda.
He had a smile on his face, and even though his Dharma was broken, he did not lose his composure and looked at the young man calmly.
Mr. Hai still has some conscience. Although he cannot violate the precepts in Jinguang Temple, the monk has taught him all he has learned and wants to hand over his inheritance to him. He is not afraid of his origin as a demon clan.
In human parlance, it is called "You treat me as a countryman, and I should repay you as a countryman."
So Mr. Hai hesitated for a moment, and decided to be a stupid demon for once and flew to the top of the tower to Baoyue's side.
Both of them have cultivation levels comparable to those of Taoist Changsheng Zhenren. If they join forces, even if they are unable to defeat this terrifying figure, they should be able to advance and retreat with ease.
"When I came to Xihuang, there was only one person who could receive the sword from this god, and you were the second one."
"Who is the first one?" Mr. Hai asked.
"What's the name of that place called the Killing View? It's not far from here. The person who blocked my sword was their master of the view. I don't know if that person is dead. If he can go one step further, I won't have to find anyone else to try the sword." At this point, the young man still has some regrets.
