save the bachelors

Chapter 4930 [Enlightenment]

"Impossible!" Fahai was shocked. "Move the mountain! Move the mountain! Move the mountain!"

He chanted the mantra repeatedly and used his power continuously, intending to take Xiang Nan away.

At this moment, he heard several "crackling" sounds, and even his magic whisk could not withstand his tremendous strength, and the silk threads were torn into pieces.

A magic weapon was destroyed!

"How can this be possible!" Fahai was extremely angry and threw out the Buddhist beads again, "Great and Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Great Dharma Mantra, Prajna Buddhas, Prajna Padme Hum!"

The Buddhist beads suddenly turned into a thousand-foot-long chain, entangled Xiang Nan and wanted to take him into the hell to suffer.

"How dare you show off your skills in front of an expert!" Xiang Nan smiled slightly, his whole body shook, revealing his golden body.

In an instant, the Buddhist beads broke into pieces and scattered all over the ground.

"How is this possible?!" Seeing Xiang Nan actually reveal a golden body with thousands of Buddha lights surrounding him, Fahai was so surprised that he almost fell to his knees.

As a great monk, he could naturally see that Xiang Nan's golden body and infinite Buddha light were real and not the result of demonic illusions.

He could never have imagined that Xiang Nan had actually achieved his goal.

……

"Who are you?" Fahai looked at Xiang Nan in shock.

"I am you, and you are me." Xiang Nan said, and suddenly changed into Fahai's appearance, "We are the same in skin, fur, flesh and blood, why should there be a distinction between 'human' and 'demon'?

You are also a Buddhist, don't you understand the principle of 'no self, no others, no sentient beings, no life'? Why do you have to subdue the monster that did nothing wrong? It's not enough that you made one mistake, how many more mistakes do you have to make before you stop?"

"How do you know?" Fahai looked at Xiang Nan in surprise.

The matter of accidentally capturing the spider spirit was his secret. He originally thought that no one knew about it, but he didn't expect that Xiang Nan would reveal it.

"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself." Xiang Nan curled his lips, "I know that you captured the two green and white snakes not because they did anything wrong, but because you did something wrong.

Your six senses are not pure, you cannot distinguish between good and evil, your lust is strong, and you have already entered the devil's barrier. You asked the green snake to help you practice, but you didn't have enough concentration and failed to overcome the calamity. Now you want to turn the tables and put the blame on others.

"You have made one mistake after another. If I were you, I would sincerely repent and make amends. It is a great virtue to know one's mistakes and correct them. Otherwise, even if you kill the green snake, do you think you have won?"

Fahai was sweating profusely after hearing Xiang Nan's words, and his moon-white monk robe was soaked with sweat, but he couldn't refute a single word.

Yes, it was because he lost the bet with Xiaoqing and was successfully aroused by her that he wanted to kill Xiaoqing. He wanted to use this thunderous method to eliminate the demons in his heart.

In fact, he knew in his heart that Xiaoqing was not wrong in this matter.

It was he who took the initiative to ask Xiaoqing to practice, and he also promised to let her go beforehand. But now he broke his promise and came to settle the score in the name of "subduing demons and monsters". It was really not fair.

……

"Go back. Your demon obstacle is not Xiaoqing, but in your own heart." Xiang Nan waved his hand and recited a verse, "The Buddha is in Lingshan, don't look for him far away, Lingshan is only in your heart. Everyone has a Lingshan Pagoda, so you can practice under the Lingshan Pagoda."

Fahai was stunned for a moment, still seeming to be confused.

Seeing this, Xiang Nan punched him directly and then shouted, "Fool, you still won't wake up?"

Fahai was first hit hard, then roared like a thundering lion, and finally woke up from his dream, "Amitabha! Thank you for your release, I was almost possessed by a demon."

"Forget it." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "From now on, just remember one thing: let go of your obsession, and you will be free."

Fahai's obsession is too deep. Catching monsters when seeing them is his obsession, and not being able to accept defeat is also his obsession. Even his determination to become a Buddha is his obsession. He has only practiced for 20 years, but he wants to get rid of his emotions and achieve enlightenment. How can it be so easy?

"Namo Amitabha! Thank you for your guidance." Fahai said gratefully, and then asked puzzledly, "You have a deep wisdom and are predestined to be with Buddha. Why do you still want to sink into the secular world? Why don't you go back with me to the Pure Land of Peace and Bliss, away from the troubles of the world."

"I've seen you practice for twenty years and have achieved such accomplishments. I thought you were born with wisdom and a deep Buddha nature, but I didn't expect you were just a piece of rotten wood." Xiang Nan curled his lips, "The Diamond Sutra says, 'One should not go anywhere, but give rise to the mind.'

If your mind is not pure, everything will be chaotic. If your eyes are not pure, everything you see will be dirty. If your ears are not pure, everything you hear will be noisy... If you don't even understand this principle, you will not be able to achieve the right result even if you practice for ten thousand years."

……

There is a case in Zen Buddhism called "The Old Woman Burns the Hut". It tells the story of an old woman who built a thatched hut and supported a monk for 20 years, sending an 18-year-old girl to deliver vegetarian meals every day.

Twenty years later, the old woman wanted to test the monk's practice, so she gave the girl some advice. The girl went to the thatched hut, hugged the monk, and asked him how he felt. The monk replied, "A dead tree leaning against a cold rock, with no warmth for three winters."

The girl reported this to the old woman, who was furious and said, "I have been supporting a layman for twenty years." She immediately drove the monk away and burned down the thatched hut.

The monk seems to be like Liuxia Hui, who remains calm even when a woman sits on his lap. But in fact, he binds himself with strict rules and regulations, transforming himself from a living person into a stone without any humanity.

This is not true practice at all.

The real practice is to understand the mind and see the nature, to keep the original heart, to stay in the present, to break all false shackles, and to return to the most comfortable, real and liberated state of life like a baby.

A true human heart is one that is filled with endless vitality and has kindness and love for the world, rather than being a cold and indifferent person constrained by dogma.

In Xiang Nan's opinion, Fahai today is just the vulgar man who said "Withered trees lean against cold rocks, with no warmth in three winters", and he is still far from true enlightenment.

"..."Fahai was speechless after hearing what Xiang Nan said.

Knowing that not only his cultivation level was far behind, but even his cultivation realm was far behind, he suddenly felt ashamed and embarrassed.

"What you said is absolutely right, benefactor. I am the one who is obsessed with appearances." He said with great shame.

Xiang Nan ignored him and left.

He had said everything he needed to say. If Fahai could understand, then he would understand. If he couldn't, there was nothing he could do.

If Fahai continues to pester him, he will not show mercy. At that time, he will let Fahai see the true strength of his Golden Immortal.

Seeing Xiang Nan leaving, Fahai stood there in a daze for a long while, and finally made up his mind.

……

That afternoon, Xiang Nan, Xiao Qing and Bai Suzhen were in Bao'an Hall, busy seeing patients, prescribing medicine and decocting drugs.

"Brother-in-law, our Bao'an Hall business is so good, it's only right that we hire a clerk. Do you want to work me and my sister to death?" Xiaoqing said with a smile.

"Sure, then go post the job recruitment notice." Xiang Nan nodded.

"No need to post a notice, I'm willing to apply for the job." Just then, someone spoke loudly at the door.

Then he walked in, scaring Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen.

Because the person who came was Fahai.
