Xiang Nan respectfully knelt down opposite the old monk, and sighed: "I don't think the master did anything wrong. People are not ruthless, but you hurt your fellow disciples, and you should be punished."
"It can only be said that the world is impermanent, but the world is too stupid."
It was very touching to say this sentence, because Xiang Nan said it out of emotion.
He was killed by his beloved woman in his previous life, and this old monk was also imprisoned here for more than a hundred years for his beloved woman.
The old monk stared straight at Xiang Nan's eyes with cloudy eyes, his eyes were very strange, as if he was looking at Xiang Nan seriously, but more like he was ignoring Xiang Nan at all, his eyes directly penetrated Xiang Nan, I saw the cold wall behind.
Xiang Nan has never felt this way before. He was watched by a high-level powerhouse before, as if he was seen thoroughly without a single piece of clothing on his body.
But when the old monk looked at himself, he didn't feel so uncomfortable.
Xiang Nan was in a daze, but the old monk made a move without warning! With lightning speed, he put his index finger on Xiang Nan's brow.
A beam of extremely intense white light suddenly penetrated Xiang Nan's eyebrows, and then pierced out from the back of his head.
But the strange thing is that there was no penetrating wound on Xiang Nan's head.
It's just that Xiang Nan felt a splitting headache, and fell to the ground all at once, his whole body convulsing violently, as if he was suffering from the torment of hellfire.
"Big... Master, you... why are you..." Xiang Nan's face turned purple from the pain, and he hugged his head in pain.
The old monk nodded and said: "You are a heroic and courageous person, but you have a strong hatred in your heart."
"I created this finger myself. It's called the Devil's Finger. Anyone who harbors the slightest malice towards others in their hearts can disappear with just one finger from me."
"Even ordinary people have evil in their hearts, and they would die if they were pointed at by me, but you didn't die, which shows that you only have kindness towards strangers."
"I saw you being thrown into the dungeon, and I only thought you were a villain. After chatting with you, I wanted to execute you. I didn't expect this result."
"Are you in pain now?"
Xiang Nan's painful lips trembled, and he said, "It hurts so much..."
The old monk nodded and said: "Although you have good thoughts in your heart, you hide a deep hatred. This hatred is not evil, so you are suffering so much."
"It seems that you are very similar to me when I was young. I don't want you to follow in my footsteps. Come on, I will pass on a heart sutra to you, and you should remember it."
"This Heart Sutra can relieve your pain."
As he spoke, the old monk closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, moved his mouth lightly, and recited passages of obscure scriptures.
Enduring indescribable pain, Xiang Nan reluctantly sat cross-legged in meditation. Strangely, when he hadn't practiced the Heart Sutra, he felt that the pain had eased a bit just by listening to the old monk's words.
Then he followed the Heart Sutra formula to practice, and the pain on his body became less and less.
After practicing a long section of the Heart Sutra, Xiang Nan was surprised to find that he was pain-free, which was miraculous.
The old monk clasped his hands together and said, "Where did you come from? Go back to where you came from. Come here again at this time tomorrow."
Xiang Nan hastily folded his hands together respectfully to the old monk: "The junior is gone."
After all, Xiang Nan activated the Void Stone and pierced through the cage. This time he still rushed upwards, but returned to his cage on the third floor.
It's strange, the power of the void stone allows him to walk freely within the dungeon, but he can't get out no matter how he walks.
Sitting in the dark and damp dungeon, Xiang Nan chanted the Heart Sutra over and over in his heart, and couldn't help but start to work again.
When he practiced the Heart Sutra formula, he felt a sense of detachment, as if all the grievances and hatreds in the world were just passing clouds.
The world is changing, disordered and impermanent, this world of mortals is a big sea of suffering, and man is a solitary boat drifting with the wind and waves in the sea of suffering.
Even if a person has all kinds of abilities and abilities, he still cannot escape the entanglement of the sea of suffering.
Greed, anger, and ignorance make people fall into it and cannot extricate themselves. Only by jumping out and leaving the seven emotions and six desires can they be at ease.
Xiang Nan opened his eyes suddenly, he didn't know why he suddenly had such a wonderful idea in his heart.
At that moment, he felt that he was invincible.
"This Heart Sutra is amazing." Xiang Nan couldn't help getting excited, and continued to meditate, and the excitement faded away.
For the next three days, Xiang Nan would go to the eighteenth floor to look for the old monk, and the old monk would teach Xiang Nan a long section of Heart Sutra formulas every time.
On the fourth day, Xiang Nan was about to go to the eighteenth floor to find the old monk to study, but footsteps came from the corridor of the dungeon.
Xiang Nan didn't dare to leave, so he obediently waited for the footsteps to pass by. Unexpectedly, the footsteps were getting closer and closer. It was actually two monks from the Discipline Academy who came over with a handsome man.
"Xiang Bei, someone came to see you." After saying that, the two young monks stepped back ten steps and stood not far away quietly waiting.
"Look at me?" Xiang Nan was surprised, and looked at the handsome man's face, and he took a breath when he saw it: "You don't want to die!"
The man lifted the hood on his head and smiled at Xiang Nan: "Good brother, do you miss me?"
Xiang Nan was startled and said, "This is an important place of Buddhism, how dare you break in? Don't you fear being killed by people from Feiyun Temple?"
That man was Mengdie who disguised herself as a man.
Mengdie put her index finger on her lips and said, "Shh...they don't know I'm a woman, and I can fool everyone with my kung fu."
"Good brother, Xiaodie waited for you for a few days, but I didn't see you coming to me, so I took the initiative to look for you. After many inquiries, I found out that you were arrested by people from Feiyun Temple."
"You must have suffered a lot these days, Xiaodie brought you delicious food."
With that said, Mengdie picked up the basket from the ground and lifted off the brocade covering it, revealing stacks of delicate side dishes inside.
Mengdie pouted, dissatisfied: "There are still a lot of delicious meat, but those smelly monks won't let me bring it in."
Xiang Nan didn't know what to say, so he could only bring in dishes one by one from the gap in the cage, and said as he ate, "Go away as soon as I finish eating, let them find out that you are a witch, and you must kill me." Yours! There are many eminent monks here, you think they can't feel your evil spirit..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiang Nan patted himself on the forehead hard, secretly thinking that he was so stupid.
That Mengdie burst out laughing, and said: "Let me just say, don't call me a witch all day long, have you forgotten that I am a human being?"
Xiang Nan felt extremely embarrassed.
That Mengdie said: "Good brother, don't worry, I will definitely rescue you, if those stinky monks refuse to let you go, I will definitely bring the holy religion to attack!"
"Don't do it!" Xiang Nan was startled and said angrily, "The eminent monk of Feiyun Temple saved the suffering and rescued the suffering, and did a lot of good things for the people in the Western Regions. If you dare to attack Feiyun Temple, don't blame me for not seeing you for the rest of your life."
