The sword talisman was quiet and serene, with little bits of light scattered from the texture on it, reflecting Fang Yanying's not-so-beautiful face.
It was such a small sword talisman that allowed her to kill the king of the Baiyue Demon Clan. She didn't even know that the strength of this Baiyue demon clan was already comparable to that of a monk in the cultivation realm.
On this evening, many extraordinary people saw the sword energy as bright as the Milky Way, and their awe of the concept of killing became even deeper.
Some people say that in today's world, only Master Qingxuanchen has obtained the essence of the Tianhe Sword Qi. They think that this Taoist Taoist born from this world may have come to the Western Wilderness.
But no one is sure about this, and no one dares to stop Fang Yanying, even though her cultivation level is not worth mentioning in the entire Western Wilderness.
The vast wilderness has disappeared. Wait until next spring, countless weeds will grow again. The cycle of life will not end with a sword.
Fang Yanying put aside the inexplicable excitement and shock in his heart and continued to go to Jinguang Temple.
When the bright moon rose from behind Jinguang Temple, Fang Yanying arrived at Jinguang Temple.
The temple door slowly opened, and a young novice monk appeared at the door. He looked at Fang Yanying and said with his hands together: "Female donor, please come with me. The abbot is waiting for you in the backyard."
Fang Yanying was not surprised. It was natural for an extraordinary figure like Zen Master Fahai to have expected him to come.
She followed Chen Jianmei and was not short-sighted.
The moonlight is just right tonight. The pale yellow moonlight is like a layer of gauze, covering the Golden Light Temple. The sound of cicadas singing and insects set off the quiet and cold night.
From the moment she stepped into Jinguang Temple, Fang Yanying felt a strange emotion, which came from the sword talisman on her body. She never put it back after taking it out.
The sword talisman was connected to her flesh and blood, giving her a new perspective.
It is a unique and extraordinary perspective that allows you to see many different things. In her heart, Jinguang Temple is no longer a cold building, but a life of flesh and blood that can breathe.
She followed the little novice to a pavilion, and then saw the heart of this huge life - Zen Master Fahai.
Zen Master Fahai's eyebrows are very clear, he is very handsome, and his eyes seem to have a watery brilliance. When you see them, you will think of the calm sea at night.
He was wearing a gilt cassock and had a Zen staff resting on a beam next to him.
There is a round bead inlaid on the Zen staff, and it is wrapped in a clear halo. When you see it, you will forget the moon in the sky.
Even this bead is not bright and dazzling.
Suddenly an idea came to her mind, this is the relic.
Mr. Hai, who had become a member of the Buddhist sect and was named Fahai, said calmly to Fang Yanying, "This is the relic of Monk Baoyue."
Fang Yanying was startled just now, and then felt a little embarrassed. He bowed and said, "Junior Fang Yanying has been ordered by Master Qingxuanchen to say hello to the master. This is the elegiac couplet proposed by Master Qingxuanchen for Emperor Yuluohe." Emperor refers to Arhat, which is the achievement of Venerable Baoyue during his lifetime.
She had an additional couplet in her hand and presented it to Fahai respectfully.
He looked at the couplet quietly, and then it flew up, reached mid-air, unfolded, and revealed the content inside - 'The body is a bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror.'
In 'Body is the Bodhi Tree', 'body' is the root of enlightenment in Buddhism, and 'Bodhi' means enlightenment. In the past, the Buddha attained enlightenment under the Longhua tree, and later generations of Buddhists also called this tree 'Bodhi'.
The heart is like a bright mirror, which means that the heart is like a bright mirror, able to illuminate all things. When the object image comes, the mirror does not increase; when the object image goes away, the mirror does not decrease.
There are only a few crosses, but they reveal the distant Zen meaning and the foundation of Venerable Baoyue's lifelong practice.
Fa Hai narrowed his eyes and said, "Shen Lian, is there anything else I want you to bring?"
Fang Yanying replied honestly: "The real person has no other words."
Fa Hai pondered for a moment, feeling a little surprised that he could see through the old monk's true nature. This shows that Shen Lian's Taoism is one foot higher. It does not reflect the depth of his magic power or the level of combat power. However, it shows that now Shen Lian's Taoism has increased and his demons have disappeared. His progress will not stagnate at least for the time being. .
Of course, this is not enough for him to think highly of Shen Liangao, because this involves another level of mystery in the realm of immortals and Buddhas.
After receiving the words and deeds of Venerable Baoyue, he realized why it was so rare for a great sage to appear among demons, but there was an endless stream of Taoist and Buddhist figures who could escape the world.
Cultivation in the realm of Immortals and Buddhas is extremely special. It will not necessarily increase the level of magic power just because of the accumulation of time.
Most immortals or golden-bodied Arhats in Buddhism will take one step forward in practice and then take one or two steps back.
When mana reaches a zero point, it will naturally decrease, such as when the sun waxes and the moon waxes.
When Shen Lian first enters immortality, when the wind and energy are rising, according to Buddhist teachings, at this time, the diamond heart is indestructible, the realm of magic power can be improved, and an incredible state has been reached. However, if another five hundred years or another thousand years pass, and Shen Lian fails to reach consummation and attain immortality, he will most likely fall into a period of decline, and he may not be as wise as he is now.
This seems to be a shortcoming of the Taoist and Buddhist practices, but in fact it reflects the fundamental reason why the two practices are authentic.
Heaven and earth are not yet complete, so how can they be complete as a living being born between heaven and earth.
Therefore, Taishang Taoist Patriarch said, "If you hold on to it and make it full, it will not be as good as it is; if you hold it and sharpen it, you will not be able to maintain it for a long time." A house full of gold and jade cannot be guarded by anyone; if you are arrogant and wealthy, you will be blamed for it. When one's meritorious deeds are fulfilled, the body retreats, which is the way of heaven. '
If he hadn't received the teachings of Venerable Baoyue attentively and been inspired by his death, he might never have been able to understand this truth, let alone become the 'Great Sage' of the demon clan.
This is also the reason why the demon senior who was suppressed in Mingwang Temple was able to escape the Great Thousand, because during those years, he learned the wonderful method in Mingwang Temple and was able to escape the Great Thousand.
No matter what Shen Lian means, what matters to him right now is to wait until the reincarnation of Lord Baoyue grows up, find him, and bring him back to Jinguang Temple.
It's just that he was originally from the demon clan, and his combat prowess was acceptable. He was not as good as a monk in deducing the secrets of heaven, let alone the Taoist Immortal Master who was good at magic.
Therefore, if we want to find the reincarnation of Lord Baoyue, we have to ask for the help of a Taoist expert who is proficient in magic. Now Shen Lian is obviously an excellent candidate.
Since Shen Lian didn't say anything, he probably didn't think about it, or he was waiting for him to speak.
Fahai was not a sloppy person. Fang Yanying said: "I will accept the elegiac couplet. You go back and tell Master Shen that I will visit him."
He knew that Shen Lian still needed him, and he was not afraid that the other party would not help. For example, Venerable Baoyue personally withstood Chen Beidou's supreme sword energy, and there are still traces on the relics left behind, and he also witnessed Chen Beidou's action with his own eyes.
These are things Shen Lian needs to understand.
