In the Baicao Garden, under the Bodhi tree.
Li Fengyuan, who was closing his eyes and meditating, suddenly burst into tears, and a trace of sadness appeared on Jun Yi's face.
Jiu Selu secretly looked in his eyes, and a trace of unbearableness surged in his heart: "After all, this kid is still young. Although he has blood and courage, he is not as strong as his old man. However, if he is counted according to the age of a human being. , I am afraid he is still just a child. How could he not be afraid of this disaster?"
At the same time, in the Great Leiyin Temple in the dream, Li Fengyuan touched his cheek and looked at the wetness of his fingers in surprise, "Huh, what is this?! Why am I crying?"
In this situation, he has experienced countless times in his dreams, and the destruction of Da Leiyin Temple is not news to him. I don't know why this moment is particularly touching.
After thinking about it, I realized: "I'm afraid of death!"
Greed of life and fear of death are the most normal emotions for all living beings in the world.
Although the tortoise has a longevity, there is still an unexpected time. Shenlong rides in the fog, and ends up in dust.
However, the phoenix is an exception, not only different from ordinary creatures, even among the many natural gods, it is also the only exception.
Phoenix can surpass the destiny of "bad air" with "Nirvana" and is born with an endless life span, so it lacks the concept of "death".
The analogy of the nine-color deer is actually wrong. Humans divide their short decades of time into several stages, naming them babies, children, teenagers, youth...
However, the Phoenix cannot be divided in this way, because the life span is "infinite". He is both a baby and an old man, endless cycles for "Nirvana."
Moreover, Li Fengyuan is far more brave than Jiuselu imagined. The courageous spirit inherited from Li Qingshan has long been carried out in his spirit, because he has never experienced Li Qingshan’s fears, and even more pure than Li Qingshan himself. .
The reason why I shed tears at this time is because for the first time in my life I feel "limited", which is what the world calls "death."
Li Fengyuan lowered his head and stared at his toes, this step was a dead end, no matter whether he wins or loses, there is no life.
Even if Li Qingshan finally defeated all powerful enemies and was known as the "Emperor of Heaven" on the Nine Heavens, there would be no way to save his life from the six reincarnations and three thousand worlds.
In this catastrophe, Li Qingshan's outcome is uncertain, and his life and death have been divided.
Even if the ants steal their lives, what about the Phoenix Divine Bird
Li Fengyuan didn't know how other Phoenix would choose, but he was the son of Li Qingshan. So he smiled and wiped away his tears, and walked forward calmly, seeing death suddenly as home.
This step was taken, and everything in front of him, whether it was the temple towers or pavilions, or the sangha, turned into flying smoke. Blue, yellow, red, white and black, flying around him, this long dream has an end.
With this step, he will become the real "Boiled Meat King". Although it is just a joke of Li Qingshan, he never takes it as a joke, but the goal he strives to achieve.
Suddenly there was a kind of enlightenment and a kind of determination in his heart-this was the first time in his life, and it will be the last time, to shed tears for himself.
When the smoke cleared, Nalanda Temple was gone, and there was only a garden in front of me, planted with lush golden-leaf linden trees, gold bricks underfoot, and the sun was shining brightly, shining and reflecting, shining brightly.
If Li Qingshan were here, he would feel very familiar. This is exactly the garden he saw when he first entered the world of bliss, every plant and tree is exactly the same. However, compared with everything he experienced afterwards, this garden was so ordinary that he hardly left any impression.
However, Li Fengyuan had fortunes in his mind, and was familiar with Buddhism allusions, so he broke the name of this garden: "Give the only tree to the lonely garden!"
In that distant era, when the Mahayana Buddhism was not yet clear and the Great Leiyin Temple was not established, it was once the main place where the Buddha taught the Dharma. It was built by the elder Dugu and Prince Gonda, hence the name.
If Da Leiyin Temple is the place where Buddhism thrives, then this is the place where everything originated.
Li Feng Yuen Long said: "Master, I am here!"
"You know that this time you will be burned by the fire of karma, and will never be restored." A vicissitudes of life sounded, echoing in the Garden of Gion to Solitude.
"I already know that there is absolutely no regret." Li Fengyuan came this time just for the fire.
"Why are you here?"
Li Fengyuan replied: "In order to take on Li Qingshan's crimes!"
Karma fire and robbery are both avenues running between heaven and earth, and immortals cannot escape. Li Qingshan's path will create boundless karma and be burned by karma fire. If no one takes the burden for him, there is absolutely no chance of winning.
"What's wrong with Li Qingshan?" the voice asked back.
Li Fengyuan was dumb, he never felt that Li Qingshan was guilty.
"Go! If you only have the love of father and son in your heart, you are not my disciple."
As Li Fengyuan heard the sound of thunder, he suddenly realized: "I will bear the sins of all living beings, and the suffering of life will be suffered."
"Why are you compassionate, and who are you?"
However, Li Fengyuan couldn't answer. The gap between the phoenix divine bird and all living beings was like clouds and mud, and a moment ago, he didn't even know what "death" was. What do all beings do to me
"If you regard yourself as a god, and treat all beings as ants; you are your master, and all beings are slaves. Even if you have the virtue of good living and benevolent, you are not in my generation."
"All beings are equal." Li Fengyuan suddenly said: "Is that why you chose Big Daddy? Give him the principles of the Great Bliss World and make him the master of the Demon Realm."
"It was Li Qingshan who chose to become Li Qingshan, and it was Li Qingshan who chose to become the master of the demon domain."
Li Fengyuan smiled: "Yes, who can choose for Li Qingshan? Even if you are the honorable person of the whole life. If you are really merciful and omnipotent as the world says, how can this world be a piece of one piece? A sea of bitterness." "If you are compassionate, you are incompetent. If you are capable, there is no compassion."
Although he converted to my Buddha, he still talked and laughed freely in the face of the supreme Buddha, the supreme existence of the gods and Buddhas, and did not have any special respect.
The voice was silent for a moment, and sighed: "Supernatural powers are invincible to karma." It seemed to be even older.
Li Fengyuan asked, "What is karma?" He came for karma, but it is not clear what karma is. There are also different opinions in Buddhist scriptures.
"cause and effect."
"If there is a cause, there must be an effect?"
"If there is a cause, there will be an effect."
"That's it, magical power is karma!"
Li Fengyuan had an epiphany immediately and suddenly became clear.
Three thousand avenues, infinite spells, are just cause and effect.
The way of practice, from gathering spiritual energy, to mana circulation, to casting spells, is just a part of cause and effect. Without mana circulation, you cannot cast spells, and without gathering spiritual energy, you cannot transfer mana.
The world is amazed by the great power of supernatural powers to move mountains and fill the sea, but in its essence, it is no different from mortal kicking and kicking. It's just that mortals don't gather spiritual energy, they just eat.
Many years ago, the first lesson Li Qingshan learned on the road of spiritual practice was eating meat.
So "supernatural powers are not equal to karma", because supernatural powers are karma. Therefore, even the one-world god cannot bear all the causes and effects, and it is impossible to have the so-called "omnipotent".
Li Fengyuan already understands the answers to all the questions here: "I am here now, not for Li Qingshan, not for sentient beings, but to bear my cause and effect. Without Li Qingshan, there would be no Li Fengyuan, so Li Qingshan is my cause, so I will replace him. He bears his fruit."
"Although the phoenix can transcend life and death, it cannot transcend the cause and effect. In this situation, the phoenix is no different from a mortal, and a mortal is no different from an ant. All beings are equal, so... I am all beings."
Li Fengyuan only felt that he had a great realization, no doubt in his heart, and even the fear of "death" has disappeared. The cycle of life and death is one thing.
Therefore, although the Phoenix family has an infinite life span, they have never heard of any phoenix that has been alive since ancient times. Although they are immortal, they have to die. The Phoenix clan is becoming scarcer. It must be their own cause and effect.
The voice smiled and said, "That's it, come here!"
Li Fengyuan felt relieved, knowing that he had passed the test and could continue to search for death, so he walked deep into the garden.
However, after experiencing the great enlightenment just now, the brain is turning rapidly, the heart is beating, and the horse is galloping, unable to calm down. Vaguely feel that things are not that simple, except for Li Qingshan, there seems to be a deeper cause and effect in him. But it seemed to be separated by a door, and for a while, it was impossible to penetrate.
When I went deep into the woods, I finally saw the true face of the Buddha, but it was not as golden as the sculptures in the temple, and his face was like a full moon. On the contrary, his face was withered and his nose was like a hook. The Gion Tree is like the Lonely Garden, and there is nothing special about it.
Moreover, the drooping corners of the mouth and the tall hooked nose made his face look very unkind. If a mortal bumped into it on the road, he might not be willing to give him a bowl of fast food.
Li Fengyuan felt a strange intimacy, as if blood was connected. There was a flash of spiritual light in his head, and the door opened, instantly penetrating all cause and effect.
Unbelievable: "You are... Yuanshi Phoenix!?"
