Chapter 355: Heavenly Vision, Lingxiao Flower
On the edge of the battlefield fighting for survival, Li Qi watched a young monk busy.
Although this young monk is only in the eighth grade, he can see through Li Qi's method of integrating the body with nature, and he also seems to be very experienced in salvation.
Is this a serious Buddhist? Or is he another Zen wise monk-like figure?
What is the philosophy of Buddhism?
Li Qishu had seen part of it in the paper, but it was only superficial on paper. In fact, he was not very clear about it.
Soon, the battle was over, with twenty or thirty people dead and more than a dozen monsters. The total number of casualties was less than a hundred, and the intensity of the battle was very low.
But Li Qi, who was next to him, still sighed.
No matter how low it is, the person is still dead, but there is no way.
Among all living beings, it is impossible for everyone to survive. This is the law of nature. No one can save so many people.
Even humanity only selectively sacrifices those inhuman beings so that people can live longer.
But for those demons, what did the demons do wrong? Is the gap between them and humans really that big? These monsters also have joy, anger, sorrow and joy. If they were put into human bodies, they would still be human.
Li Qi couldn't find a solution and could only respect the laws of nature.
Perhaps, really only the ultimate goal of witchcraft, that perfect world, can solve it.
The great source of the world is so powerful that it is unparalleled. Everyone can reach the realm of the great shaman of ‘making something out of nothing’, no longer having any need for the outside world, and everyone can even produce to the outside world.
Resources are no longer a shackle. Every time there is one more person, there is one more resource. That is the perfect world pursued by Wu Dao. There is absolutely no dispute, no competition, and everyone is born out of pure ideas.
Really, the more people there are, the stronger they are. There is no need to consume anything from the outside world. Perfection, harmony, and the ultimate supreme. There is no more perfect world than this. It is in line with the true road and does not consume anything, just like the universe. Born that way.
The birth of the universe created this colorful world from scratch.
If everyone could become a born universe, a creator rather than a consumer...then all the suffering we see now would be eradicated with a snap of our fingers and would never happen again.
Li Qi was imagining that scene, and at the same time he was watching the little Buddhist novice who was saving the dead souls on the battlefield.
The dead souls are illuminated by the light of Buddha.
Although the dead souls were confused, they unconsciously raised their hands and heads under the Buddha's teachings.
The young novice stretched his hand forward, palm upward, and the soul of the dead was dragged in his hand.
He muttered words and Buddhist scriptures continuously:
"When you are reborn in the Land of Ultimate Bliss, you will find lotus flowers blooming under the seats in the ten directions. When the lotus flowers are applied, you will hear the voices of all the people and praise the Four Noble Truths, the Three Brightnesses and the Six Paths. All the dead will have the eight liberations."
"At the end of his life, he will see a golden lotus flower like a sun wheel standing in front of him."
"When you hear what the Buddha said, you will immediately see the appearance of the Land of Ultimate Bliss..."
Following his words, the ghosts entered reincarnation successfully one by one, and maybe they could really reach the 'Nirvana'.
The battle has been fought, both sides have withdrawn, and the battlefield has been cleared, leaving only a few remnants.
There was no one around Li Qi and the little novice monk.
Even if there are people, they can't be seen. They each have their own magic to make others ignore them.
After the salvation was completed, the young novice monk looked at Li Qi and chanted the Buddha's name: "Namo Maitreya Buddha, the young monk has a clear mind and has seen this senior shaman."
"You seem to be surprised." Li Qi looked at the young monk and said.
The young monk clasped his hands together, nodded and said: "Yes, the senior shamans I met before all sneered at the young monk, thinking that the young monk was wasting his efforts, and even shouted to kill him. I was chased many times, but I barely escaped. ”
"Senior, you are the only one who...not only didn't do anything, but also helped me. The young monk was indeed a little surprised."
After saying that, the little monk looked up at the sunshine in the sky.
With his ability, it is still difficult to survive such intense sunshine and transcend the ghosts. He may not be able to protect everyone.
But just now, the yang energy in the sun has decreased a lot. It is obvious that someone has used magic to isolate part of the yang energy to prevent these ghosts from being sunk to death.
There was no one else here, so obviously the only one in front of him was this nonchalant wizard.
Li Qi waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing, and then asked: "It's nothing, it's just a little effort, but you, why did you come to the boundary of Wushen Mountain, and this place is almost close to Annan, you have trekked here from the Western Region, and you are an eighth-grade... It's not easy Bar?"
The young monk lowered his head and said with embarrassment: "I am ashamed to say that the young monk has never been to the Western Regions. Now here, I am on a pilgrimage to the Western Heaven."
"The young monk was born in Baiyue. He heard the Buddhist teachings and became enlightened, so he began to practice on his own. However, there were always some difficulties in his own practice. There were few Buddhas and many witches in Baiyue, so the young monk thought of going to the Western Regions to learn about the great way. He is currently practicing During the journey, the behavior of a moth flying into a flame made the seniors laugh. "
After listening, Li Qi nodded: "It is indeed difficult. From here to the Western Region... you will probably have to walk for more than fifteen years."
"If you can learn the great truth and listen to the true scriptures, why not do it for fifty years?" the young monk said with a smile.
Li Qi nodded in approval.
Indeed, only with such perseverance can we follow the path.
Moreover, leaving Baiyue is also a good thing.
Baiyue is a garbage place, Li Qi has experienced it personally.
In the land of Taoist disputes, it is basically impossible to get ahead in practice there. Those kings will eat people.
"By the way, how did you see me? Rank 8, it should be impossible to find me." Li Qi asked the strange question he had felt before.
Monk Xinming did not hide anything. He lowered his head and said: "Senior Mingjian, this young monk has some connections with Buddhism. He has learned it by himself without a teacher. He has first glimpsed the path to clairvoyance. There is something special about his eyes."
Li Qi was stunned.
Of course he knows what clairvoyance is.
One of the famous six magical powers of Buddhism is clairvoyance.
He has the ability to "see" all dharmas. He can see the six paths of life and death, the pain and joy of this life and that, and he can also see all kinds of forms in the world without any obstacles.
If he truly achieves clairvoyance, then this monk's cultivation level may not even be able to reach the fourth level!
Even Li Qi knew the reputation of the Six Divine Powers. If he had true clairvoyance, he could really see through the six paths of reincarnation at a glance and see through all forms in the world.
And this monk is only at the eighth level now!
Li Qi immediately realized something.
Strictly speaking, Li Qi can be regarded as a Buddhist monk, and he has Buddhist cultivation.
If he can understand the secret of this monk, can he use his clairvoyance to see through the illusion of the demon?
In this way, his need for the question "I am who I am" will slow down a lot, and he will have more time to ponder this dangerous question.
So, Li Qi immediately asked: "clairvoyance? You are only at the eighth level, how did you get in?"
Li Qi's excitement confused the young monk.
This senior...why is he so excited?
He is a shaman and cannot practice Buddhism... clairvoyance is meaningless to him unless he wants to conflict with the path.
Oh, maybe this senior is just curious?
It seemed that he thought Li Qi was a good person, so the young monk said: "Uh, well, it's just a Buddhist relationship."
"Buddha's fate? Did you obtain the Dharma in a dream?" Li Qi asked again.
"Although it is not as mysterious as attaining the Dharma in a dream, it is almost the same. The young monk once passed by a mountain. There was a Buddha statue on the mountain. It was basically completed, but there were still two eyes that were not carved, so the young monk stayed and finished carving them."
"After that day, I woke up and felt that my eyesight was clear and clear. Later, after receiving some guidance from others, I realized that this is a small part of clairvoyance, but it still needs to be discovered." Monk Xinming said candidly.
Monk Xinming would never reveal his true identity so easily, but his clairvoyance can see not only the techniques used to hide his body, but also the essence of a person.
Not only the nature of human beings, but also the divine eye can "see all dharmas", that is, it can see through all magic, see through all life and death, and see through all forms and forms in the world.
Although he was far from reaching this point, he could still see that Li Qi was far stronger than him and had no ill intentions.
Moreover, he could also feel the 'Buddha connection' of the senior Wu Jin in front of him.
Perhaps, this senior really has a connection with Buddha. At least now it seems that he is very interested in Buddhism and is trying to take the initiative to contact him.
Therefore, the monk chose to speak out.
Li Qi didn't know the reasons. While he was surprised by the monk's frankness, he also subconsciously became suspicious.
There was no way around it. He had been plotted against him so many times that he had to be suspicious.
However, after thinking for a while, he felt that no matter what the monk was, the clairvoyance was worth seeing.
Even if he can't get clairvoyance, he may be able to get a considerable degree of enlightenment and gain just by taking a look.
Besides, not many people would target him, and his enemy so far was only the Demon of Freedom.
Oh, the devil cannot use the word 'just'.
"Where is that statue? If it really has such a magical use, then people must go there every day, right?" Li Qi asked.
Monk Xinming said: "The statue is indeed miraculous. The young monk has said this more than once, so many people know about it. It is just east of Baiyue, at the Buddha Mountain of Lingxiao Kingdom."
"Lingxiao Kingdom...wait, why does it sound so familiar..." Li Qi heard this name and felt like he had heard it somewhere.
When the monk saw what Li Qi said, he replied: "Lingxiao Kingdom does have some reputation. Its name comes from the Lingxiao Flower, and its leader is the Lingxiao Flower God."
When Li Qi heard this, he suddenly realized, clapped his hands and said, "So this is it."
He's heard of this.
There are hundreds of flowers in the world, each with its own flower god.
For example, there are peony flower gods, peach flower gods, etc., each with its own uniqueness. Some good people also list "Hundred Flowers List", and there are also so-called December flowers, Twelve Master Flowers and other categories.
Many flower gods also like these rankings and often compete for higher rankings or categories.
Because of this temperament, there is an idiom called "fighting for beauty", in which the fight refers to the secret competition between the flower gods.
And Ling Xiaohua is the victim of this kind of fight.
In the past, the Lingxiao flower was also known as the flower of the high mountains. However, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem, mocking the Lingxiao flower as "the root attached to the tree body, and the blossoms sent to the treetops. In the morning, it is a cloud-flying flower, and in the evening, it is a woodcutter on the ground."
The meaning is self-evident, mocking the Lingxiao flower for being complacent and thinking that no power can shake it, but in fact it is just a clinger and can only grow as a parasite on others. Although it can climb very high, the flower blooms in Lingxiao. , but once the backer fell, he could only lie on the ground, changing from 'Flowing Cloud Flower' to 'Weidi Qiao'.
This poem directly knocked the Lingxiao flower into the bottom of the valley. From then on, it was ridiculed by many flower gods. Even the people no longer planted Lingxiao, and no one praised her virtue and appearance.
The Lingxiao Flower God was so shocked that he left the Tang Dynasty and ran to the land of Baiyue.
This matter can be regarded as an anecdote. When Li Qi was scanning a large amount of information in Tang State, he must have read about Ling Xiaohua. When he was reminded, he immediately remembered it.
"It seems that senior should know about this." The young monk clasped his hands together.
Li Qi nodded and said: "Well, I do know that since you told me this, I can't let you tell me in vain. It will be dangerous if you walk from here. Your original route is forward from here. , The mountain god is an unreasonable howling wolf, he is easily robbed, and even if he runs away, there will be trouble. "
"From here, go east and go around in a circle. The mountains there are all the territory of the seventh-grade mountain god's big banyan tree. It is relatively peaceful and much safer."
"Thank you, senior, for reminding me, then..." The young monk looked at Li Qi tentatively.
"There's nothing else to do, so let's say goodbye." Li Qi said goodbye without any further delay.
After understanding what the Buddha's light was about here and meeting different monks, Li Qi drifted away without much delay and returned to Lao Ma.
However, he kept looking at the little monk.
It's okay anyway, Lao Ma is still resting, it will take at least an hour.
Back on the mountain, I watched the monk set off again.
The other party saved the ghost and then left. He never had any communication with those copycats or monsters during the whole process, not even saying thank you.
It was exactly what Li Qi thought. He just passed by and couldn't bear to have his soul annihilated, so he hid himself and offered salvation without asking for anything in return.
Well, monks are not necessarily all bad people.
Li Qi thought like this, constantly weighing the Tang Kingdom's Imperial Academy, the Holy Flame Realm, the Heavenly Demon, and the new information from a passing young monk in front of him.
Li Qi has the desire to break into the Tang Dynasty's upper-class social circle, but he hasn't had time to implement it yet.
He originally wanted to hitch a ride on Taixue and Liu Shenzhi, but the Liu family were very conservative and they wouldn't get involved, let alone Li Qi.
Li Qi also wanted to make friends with others in Taixue, but his energy was held back by Dongtian's affairs.
When he went back to finish solving Dongtian this time, he was wondering if he could sneak in through the identity of his classmate Li Lieqi. In this case, Sheng Yan's sales could also be opened up.
But now, it seems that there is a better choice, and you can also do things with clairvoyance.
Lingxiao Flower God, would it be better if he helped her restore her reputation and rejoined the fight between the Flower Gods?
It doesn't matter if you fail, you got in anyway.
