Wuyazi looked at Wu Yugang's sudden surprise and seemed to understand something. He quietly pulled Wu Yugang into the house. With a strange look on his face, he asked quietly, "Why, did you find something strange? Otherwise, why would you have such an expression?"
Wu Yugang smiled and whispered to his senior brother about the strange things he found: "If he is really a beggar, but he has such a deep inner strength, even if he is weak, he should not have difficulty getting up now! I think there must be something strange, but didn't the elders in the temple notice it? It's really weird!"
Wuyazi nodded secretly, analyzing what his junior brother said. When the two were in silence, the young monk came into the house with the vegetarian meal, put the food on the table, turned around and said to Wu Yugang and the others: "Two donors, please eat. If there is nothing else, I will go to worship Buddha! I will come to clean up the dishes later!" After that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Wu Yugang stopped the young monk who was about to leave and asked calmly, "Young Master, please take care. May I ask if anyone has come to stay here recently?"
The young monk thought to himself that the two must have heard something on the way, and now that they were in the temple, they regretted living here because of the danger. The young monk looked at Wu Yugang and said, "Some of them were scared away, but there have been no outsiders in the past ten days, just some passers-by, and the only one living here is the patient. I was afraid that you would be scared, so I let you live in this small courtyard with only one patient. Don't worry! Nothing will happen here."
Seeing Wu Yuguang and the other man regain their composure, the young monk left the room.
It turned out that when Wu Yugang was talking to the little monk, he suddenly felt a spirit exploring the situation in the house. Wu Yugang checked the source of the spirit, and suddenly the spirit disappeared, which made Wu Yugang feel uneasy. There must be someone who could harm others here, so he should be more careful.
The person being investigated by the divine sense is the bedridden beggar. Speaking of this beggar, his origin is quite unusual. This person is not a beggar, but the master of the Three Stranges of Jiangnan, Ouyang Ye, who calls himself Master Wuying. He lives in the valley on the top of Feilai Peak, by the West Lake. Because he likes the art of cultivation, he learned the supernatural method from someone unknown. While walking, he found that the scenery on Feilai Peak is beautiful, and there is the famous Buddhist temple Lingyin Temple around it, which is the best place to cultivate oneself. So he chose a place to live, practiced hard, and lived a peaceful life, like an outdoor paradise.
The Lingyin Temple was originally built by the Indian monk Huili. When he traveled here, he found that the trees were towering and the peaks were beautiful, as if there were immortals hiding here. So he built a temple named Lingyin and spread Buddhism there. It was quite magical and efficacious, so many people expanded the temple. Later, someone built a stone Buddha statue on the mountain, which made Buddhism flourish here.
How could there be supernatural arts in such a prosperous place like Buddhism? This is not surprising. Buddhism is meant to save all living beings. As long as one has a kind heart, one can practice the Dharma. Therefore, not only humans, but also various animals, plants, and all living things in the world can obtain the Buddha's way and achieve the right result. Buddha also does not discriminate between species, and encourages all living things to practice the art of benevolence and virtue, to do good deeds among the people, and to do more good deeds in the world.
Jiangnan is a place where supernatural arts flourish. With such an excellent place for immortals, there are also profound Buddhists preaching here. Therefore, many spiritual creatures study Buddhism in quiet places to correct their ways. There are many deep caves and caves in the valleys of Feilai Peak, which are very strange. Therefore, many spiritual beasts live in them. Although there are temples promoting Buddhism here, after all, humans and animals are different, and it is difficult for them to study in the same hall. Therefore, these spiritual insects and beasts can only hide among the steps and rocks not far from the mountain temple.
If we want to talk about the place where the most spiritual beasts gather, we have to mention the Sansheng Stone. The Sansheng Stone is located in the quiet valley between Lingyin Temple and Feilai Peak. It can still be seen often. Not far from the Sansheng Stone, there are often centipedes, long-bodied creatures with patterns on their bodies, and centipedes and long worms on the rocks and steps of the bridge. These are the spiritual creatures who have studied Buddhism here and have corrected the way. Perhaps, Bai Suzhen, who was suppressed under the Leifeng Pagoda, also achieved the right result through this way, so she spread it widely in the world!
Why do these spiritual creatures gather here and not somewhere else? Let's talk about the Three-Life Stone. The Three-Life Stone was originally left by Nuwa when she created humans. When Nuwa used soil to create humans by the Ling River in the West Heaven, she took a grain of sand to count the number of each person she created. After creating various people from all walks of life, the counted grains of sand had formed a huge stubborn stone and stopped by the river. Who would have thought that many years later, this stubborn stone was transformed into a magic way by the essence of the sun and the moon. Suddenly one day, it made a sound that shook the world and startled the gods of heaven and earth. People didn't know what happened.
It turned out that the counting stone suddenly rose up and pierced the sky. The two cracks on its body seemed to have the power to swallow up the three worlds of heaven, earth and man. Seeing this, Nuwa was horrified and hurriedly sacrificed the soul-capturing talisman to restrain the magic power of the stubborn stone. Nuwa thought again and again, and found that there was no god in the world who was in charge of the reincarnation of three lives, so she named it the Three Life Stone and gave it the Three Life Secret. She named the three parts of its body as the previous life, the present life and the next life. She also added a marriage line on its body to control the marriage of three lives. In order to restrain its devilish nature and refine its mind, she threw it into the human world.
Although the Three-Life Stone has been restrained from demonic nature, it still has the breath of demons, because it is not a human body. With this breath of the devil, many spiritual creatures gather around it. Being around such a stubborn stone with the spirituality of heaven and earth, one can feel the Dharma, be infected by the breath of heaven and earth, and understand the affairs of the three lives of the human world, so as to help the spiritual creatures who are cultivating to be immersed in the breath of the human world, cultivate into a human form as soon as possible and get rid of the devil. Why don't spiritual creatures gather here
Ouyang Ye also took a fancy to the aura beside the Three-Life Stone, which was beneficial to his cultivation of the magic way. The cultivators in the world didn't care whether it was the magic way or not. As long as they cultivated the supreme and high-level skills, they could be invincible in the world and dominate the world. As a human, why should they be afraid of demons. After all, many martial arts are imitated from animals. Animals have such profound aspects that are worth learning, so why should they be afraid of their kind when practicing? Most of the best martial arts in the world are in the bionic part. Only by learning from these spirit animals can one cultivate the supreme and profound martial arts in the world and be invincible in the world.
It is precisely because of this idea that the legend of the battle between Bai Suzhen and Fahai spread here. Therefore, Wuying chose this place as his best place to practice. Later, three brothers of the Xiao family became his disciples. It was difficult for them to be his rivals, which made Wuying feel more at ease. Who knew that when he was spending his days in An County, his apprentice Xiao Jinzhong brought bad news. This news made Wuying very angry. (To be continued)
