The Yin-Yang Art of the Early Yuan Dynasty

Chapter 128 Incense
Seeing the man in front of her, Yue'e's expression changed drastically, and she ran to the man in three steps at a time, and looked at the man in front of her uncertainly.

"Stone, is that you? Are you a stone?" Yue'e took the man's hand, her voice choked up.

Fan Jin didn't know, so he could only watch from a distance. Seeing Yue'e's appearance, he should know the man, so Fan Jin didn't bother them.

"You are. Are you sister Yue'e?"

At this time, Yue'e realized that although the eyes of the man in front of him were intact, he was blind.Hearing this man named Shi Shi call her out by her name, Yue'e suddenly lost her voice in pain.

This man named Shitou is the son of Master Yue'e. When the Shinyan Gate was breached, Shitou was still young, less than 15 years old.

The Eighth Prince will kill anyone he sees when he goes up the mountain. Few of the disciples in the Mantra Sect are martial arts practitioners. Facing the vicious thugs, they have no power to parry at all.

In the chaos, Yue'e and Xiaoye took the seriously injured Shizun and Shizun into the carriage, rushed out of the encirclement and ran out.Unexpectedly, he encountered chasing soldiers on the way, and after some fighting, the stone also rolled down the cliff and disappeared from sight.

After the death of the Eighth Prince, Fan Jin accompanied Yue'e to search for the place where the stone fell off the cliff for a period of time, but they didn't find any trace of the stone, and finally let it go.

Unexpectedly, when he came back this time, he saw the stone, and he had changed from a child to a big guy, and he could still see some resemblance to the master between his brows.

The two recognized each other like a dream, even Shi Shi didn't expect that his senior sister could still play well and live.The two also described what happened after they separated.

At this time, Fan Jin felt that he was super redundant, and he was still Yue'e's master.It was somewhat embarrassing to stay here, so I went out after meeting the two of them.

It turned out that when the stone rolled down the cliff that day, it happened to be stopped by a crooked willow tree on the hillside, but during the rolling process, the eyes were poked blind by the protruding branches on the mountain.

The stone was trapped on the mountain, dying and unable to move.But the pain in his eyes kept him awake and he did not faint.

Just when the corpse was in despair, a woodcutter hunter happened to pass by on the mountain, heard the groaning of the stone, and rescued him back home.

After more than a year of recuperation, the stone body recovered, but the two eyes were seriously injured, and finally completely lost their light.

At that time, although the stone was small, his mind was really flexible.Even the Orion who saved him, he didn't dare to reveal his identity.Just tell him that he has amnesia and doesn't remember anything.

Orion didn't ask any more questions, and let him live with the children at home.The children of Orion's family help take care of her daily life.

At first, the stone was very uncomfortable.In addition, the Eighth Prince is very powerful, and he is deeply afraid that if he is exposed, he will cause trouble to this hunter family and lead to death.

He left Orion's house several times without saying goodbye, and because his eyes couldn't see, he lost his way and almost fell into a deep ditch not long after he went out.

The kind-hearted Orion organized people in the village to find him blindly, just like treating his own relatives.Shi Shi was really afraid of hurting Orion, so he secretly told Orion his identity and asked him to send him to the Eighth Prince to receive the reward.

Unexpectedly, Orion told him that the Eighth Prince had died a long time ago, and the Mantra Gate he spoke had already been in ruins.Even so, Orion did not dislike him and wanted to report to the official, but was moved by his sincerity.

Shi Shi lived with this Orion family for two years. Although he was blind, he slowly accepted the reality.After a period of practice, I also learned to live independently.

Stone bid farewell to Orion and returned to the Mantra Gate.

At first, the Mantra Gate was indeed dilapidated.According to Shitou's childhood memory, Shitou began to repair the Mantra Gate little by little.When I was sleepy and tired, I just lay down on the ground to rest. If my hands were worn out, I found some incense ash to wipe them on. When I got blisters on my feet, I just found a hard stone to puncture them.

After experiencing wind, sun, snow and rain, most of the Mantra Gate was cleared out by stones.The previous Buddha statues and houses were also renovated.

When repairing the mantra, the stone also planted some wild vegetables and food to prevent himself from starving to death.After the Mantra Gate was repaired, when the villagers who passed by were curious and came to see it, they were also shocked.

When the Mantra Gate was destroyed, they knew it.Hundreds of people from the entire sect died unexpectedly.The corpses inside were buried with the help of these villagers.

Now the Mantra Gate has a new look again, and everyone thinks this is the will of the Buddha.One after another, villagers came to pay respects, and one after another, the incense here gradually began to flourish.

Yue'e's experiences are so bizarre that she doesn't know how to tell Shitou now.And all of this has something to do with her, Yue'e has always felt guilty in her heart.

After hearing that Master was killed, the corners of Shitou's eyes also drooped.However, Yue'e didn't dare to tell Xiaoye that it was the traitor, and that the tragedy of the Mantra Sect was more or less at his hands.

In addition, Shitou's father died, and it was also because of Xiaoye's leak that the Eighth Prince was hunted down.Yue'e didn't dare to say it, for fear that Shishi would find it difficult to accept it.

When the Mantra Gate was still there, Xiaoye loved Shishi the most, and would leave a share of delicious food and drink for Shishi if he sneaked around.Every time the master punished him, Xiaoye secretly gave Shishi some food and drink.

Being betrayed by someone closest to him is hard for anyone to accept.Shi Shi had already lost his eyes, and being hit again, Yue'e didn't want him to suffer this kind of suffering again.

In the end, Yue'e just told Shitou that while Xiaoye was protecting him, she jumped into another passageway and died unknown.This is the only thing Yue'e can do.

A white lie makes all the truth disappear into the ordinary with the passage of time.Now that Shitou inherited Master's behest and continued the incense of the Mantra Gate, Yue'e felt much more at ease.

Shi Shi has no concept of cultivating immortals. In his heart, he only has Buddha and Sakyamuni.In his view, as long as he believes in Buddhism, he can overcome all hardships and achieve positive results.

Stone has great perseverance, which ordinary people can't have.However, the sacred object of the Mantra Sect, the Heart Sutra, was obtained by Fan Jin, and Yue'e dared not say that Fan Jin was also her own savior.

Fan Jin heard Yue'e's conversation with Shi Shi.In particular, the vow made by the stone cannot be fulfilled overnight.However, Shishi has great perseverance. Although there are many difficulties and obstacles, he never stops and bears everything with his mortal body.

It's just a pity that Shitou doesn't have the qualifications to cultivate immortals, or else he wants to help him and let him realize his long-cherished wish as soon as possible.After all, Fan Jin took the "Heart Sutra" from the Mantra Gate, and he was contaminated with this karma, so he would have to pay it back sooner or later.

After the two talked about the old days, Stone came out to thank Fan Jin.Yue'e did not conceal Fan Jin's identity, which made Shitou quite curious.It's a pity that he can't see with his eyes now, and can't see what the Xiuxian in Yue'e's mouth looks like.

Stone is now the head of the Mantra Sect, and he is the only one in Nuoda's Mantra Sect.Before, there were children from the neighborhood who wanted to come to study as a teacher, but they were all rejected by Shishi.

Although the Eighth Prince is dead, the dynasty has not changed, and the king is still there.Shitou can't protect himself now, and he doesn't want to let the Mantra Sect suffer another disaster because of him.

The stone's worry is not unreasonable, and the tree attracts the wind, which is the same truth.Although the Mantra Gate was destroyed, his influence still exists.

The current prosperity of incense speaks for itself. If the stone accepts disciples, it won't take long for the new Mantra Gate to stand up again.But at that time, without the Eighth Prince, would there be another Ninth Prince or Sixth Prince?

Now I am fine alone. Apart from reciting Buddhist scriptures, I usually go to nearby villages to promote Buddhism.Walking from village to village, stones opened altars as much as possible to teach the Fa wherever they passed.

Buddhism is the state religion of the Tang Dynasty, but the philosophy of Buddhism is also different.Since Sakyamuni Buddha, different schools have also been separated. What the stone practices is the Dharma of Mahayana Buddhism.

In the process of propagating Buddhism, you may meet some practitioners who practice Theravada Buddhism, and there will inevitably be a battle between the two.

After staying at the Mantra Gate for a few days, Fan Jin also listened to Shitou's lectures and benefited a lot.Fan Jin had to lament the power of Sakyamuni, that is, when he listened to the stone lecture, his whole body seemed to be empty, and he would soon enter samadhi.

If Sakyamuni came here in person and could hear his statement in person, it is estimated that everyone present would have an epiphany.Although Buddhism and cultivating immortals are different, they all lead to the same goal in the end, and they all have the same principle.

During the period, Fan Jin also confessed that he had obtained the "Heart Sutra" from Sakyamuni Buddha. Unexpectedly, Shitou smiled and said that he already knew it.

When Fan Jin recited the "Heart Sutra", the "Heart Sutra" in the courtyard also echoed from a distance. To Fan Jin's surprise, there was a sudden ray of light behind the stone, and the people who illuminated it couldn't open their eyes.

For a moment, the glow behind the stone disappeared, as if it had never happened.It's just that the stone seemed to have fallen into the ethereal state long ago, and after a quarter of an hour, it slowly opened its eyes.

"Thank you, benefactor!" Shi Shi said and bowed slowly.

When he got up again, Fan Jin found that the stone seemed to be different from before, such a subtle change.At a rough glance, there seems to be nothing, but when you look closely, the stone seems to have an extra layer of mysterious charm.

Only Fan Jin's spiritual sense was strong enough to discover it, even Yue'e didn't see the transformation of the stone.Although Fan Jin didn't know what this transformation was, the only thing he was sure of was that it wasn't a bad thing.

After a few days in the Mantra Gate, Fan Jin and Yue'e bid farewell to the stone, and the two began to look for the road of subduing the magic pestle.Yue'e naturally didn't dare to tell Shitou that she returned to the Tang Dynasty because she was hit by the broken spirit pill.Before that time, Stone should worry again.

That's fine, after all, Yue'e and Shitou can be said to be people in two worlds, and the direction of the two people's practice has undergone a major change. If there is another intersection in the future, I don't know when it will happen.

Fan Jin left some pills for Shi Shi, although it could not change his physique and give him the ability to practice.But it can also make him a strong physique and reduce the suffering of illness.

It's just that the stone's eyes have indeed passed the best time for treatment because of the long time.We can only see if there are some opportunities in the future.
