Emperor Shitian did not change due to Shen Lian's counterattack, and the sharp sword energy spread out like a lotus with him as the center. Shen Lian immediately understood that this was Emperor Shitian's second sword.
Living in the bubble of time, he seemed to have experienced a thrilling duel on behalf of Maha Kassapa. However, he knew in his heart that everything he saw, heard and felt was a dream, so he felt like lightning, and everything was conditioned. The Zen of Buoying fills my heart.
The lotus-shaped sword energy around Emperor Shitian suddenly merged into one. Just now, Emperor Shitian used a tangible and material sword. Now these sword energy combined together, it is an invisible and material sword. The difference between one word and the world. Don't.
This sword was raised high by Emperor Shitian. The transparent blade, like the blade of a mountain with nine ridges, came down from the sky, like a celestial dragon piercing the sky and looking down at the world.
When Shen Lian saw this, he just did a Vajra posture.
Just like the Buddha under Bodhi, allowing all the demons in the world to invade, I am at ease and motionless.
There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, but he also had a profound understanding of "Buddha picked up flowers and Kasyapa smiled". Although he is not a Buddhist, at this moment he understands the Dharma more deeply than any other Buddhist.
This is not surprising at all, because he is thrown into the bubble of time at this moment, and he is Kassapa.
Emperor Shitian's sword energy came with majestic force, like the abyss pressing down on him, one after another, endless, and vast.
Shen Lian's expression was indifferent, and he allowed the heavy sword energy to hit his body, causing a deep tearing pain. Until the true nature of the spiritual platform, he saw the Buddha statues disappearing again and again, and at the same time, various living creatures such as scholars, goddesses, birds, and beasts appeared. appearance. At this moment, Shen Lian suddenly understood Kasyapa's unique magical power, which is to integrate the reincarnations of life into one body. When he is irresistibly hurt, he will replace it with life after life. In this way, he can share a lot of pressure. An injury that was originally a serious injury may turn into a minor injury, and an injury that was originally meant to be extinguished may become a serious injury.
The novelty of this magical power amazed Shen Lian and he had to admire Kassapa's ingenuity. It was truly extraordinary. No wonder among the Buddha's disciples, only Kassapa could inherit the Buddha's mantle.
It's a pity that Kassapa's great power of reincarnation can only trace past lives and cannot capture the afterlife, otherwise he would really have to follow the path that the Buddha walked.
I don't know how long it took, but the heavy sword energy finally came to an end.
Emperor Shitian slowly closed his eyes. The sword and sword energy were no longer visible on his body. He just held it up with both hands, like lifting the sky. This is the Heavenly Sword, which takes Heaven's heart as one's own heart, retains Heaven's will to eliminate human desires, and is void and colorless.
This sword shows the ultimate practice of Emperor Sakyamuni after he became the protector of the Buddha. In an instant, everything in the world became a sword. The flowing wind, the water vapor, the white clouds, the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth, the birds, insects and fish, everything became a sword. .
All things are born, and if the sky is used as a sword, then all things will be swords, with one exception.
The exception is the Buddha statue.
Everything shines brightly and brilliantly, revealing the golden color of the wheat field, just like the fruits are ripe and should be harvested. This knife has eliminated the murderous intention, which is part of the reincarnation of heaven and earth.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is natural to slaughter your opponents with the feeling of harvest.
Buddha is the Tao, and it is manifested at this moment. In fact, when all Dharmas reach their highest level, they all arrive at the same destination through different paths.
Shen Lian finally understood why Kasyapa was injured, because the simple and natural nature of the sword was irresistible.
At this moment, the world in front of Shen Lian collapsed, and the last glimmer of the sword disappeared as the world collapsed. It's just that the essence of this sword has been penetrated by him.
Shen Lian appeared in the temple again. His green shirt was simple, with a thin layer of starlight, which was the light of the soul. Chao Xiaoyu smiled and said, "It seems you have gained something again."
Shen Lian nodded gently and said: "When we have reached this stage of cultivation, we have to see the heaven and the earth, all living beings, and all conditioned dharma. Only then can we do such contemplation."
The deeper meaning of such contemplation is not to cling to its actual existence, and not to desire that it will never change. Only by thinking this way can we be liberated and free from pain. This is a feeling that can only arise after one has reached the pinnacle of spiritual practice. Only after achieving this state can one no longer regard the illusory world as real. Because everything external is the manifestation of the heart and is unreal; at the same time, the environment determines the heart. Just as the Buddha said, "The heart has no origin and causes the environment to exist." There is no absolute truth in the world, but what the Buddha said This sentence must be the truth and it is also the absolute truth.
This is what does not exist in the world, but exists because of the Buddha. Among them, even Shen Lian himself cannot understand the mystery clearly.
Chao Xiaoyu said: "You see the world like this, and you see me."
Shen Lian said: "If you see me."
Chao Xiaoyu smiled heartily, feeling deeply that the two of them cherished each other. Even if they could only live this kind of life for one day, it was still worth it, not to mention that they had been together like this for more than one day.
Then Chao Xiaoyu raised his head to see Kassapa Buddha and said, "Do you think that bracelet is Vajra?"
Shen Lian smiled and said: "At first, I thought this bracelet was the legendary Vajra Diamond, but in fact it is not. This is the Wheel of Wisdom, which was discovered by the Buddha in the sea of suffering in the world. The Buddha held the flower and smiled, and all the Buddhas The Bodhisattva did not understand its meaning, but Kassapa understood it deeply, so the Buddha passed the flower to Kassapa. It was a flower and a perfect wisdom. Unfortunately, Kassapa had never reached the realm of Buddha, so he could only wear it. It’s in your hands, not in your heart.”
Chao Xiaoyu said: "That's it, but it's a pity that this is not a vajra. Because I got the Taiqing Taoist interpretation, which records this treasure. It is made of Kun steel, and the returning elixir is made into it. It cultivates a spiritual energy and is good at it. It can change, is invulnerable to water and fire, and can trap all things. When walking in the world, we will use this thing to defend ourselves. If we get this thing, if we go to the Paradise of Paradise, it will be easy to escape intact. But that’s it.”
Shen Lian said: "Tao master's things depend on fate. Since you can cultivate Taiqing Daojie, you also have a great hope of getting King Kong Zhuo."
Chao Xiaoyu said: "That would be a better chance for Xuandu to get it."
Shen Lian said calmly: "He has obtained the Tai Chi Diagram and has exhausted his fate with the Supreme Being. If the fate is gone, he will not be implicated." He paused and then said: "This is also the admirable thing about Xuandu. If With the supreme blessing, he is free from disasters. However, he breaks this fate and throws himself into the sea of misery in the world. If he cannot escape in the end, he will be in despair. "
Chao Xiaoyu said calmly: "This is what is called 'seeking the truth even if you die with an iron heart'."
Shen Lian nodded and the two looked at each other. Shen Lian said: "An uninvited guest is here."
After the two people finished talking, they disappeared.
It's not that they left, they just used an invisibility method.
The moonlight outside poured into the temple like mercury, making this night seem particularly pure.
