I'm looking for longevity in Liaozhai

Chapter 193 I'm afraid of death
Not long after, Wang Zhe found the two jujube trees in the mountain. The two ancient trees were very close to each other, with a distance of not more than ten feet, and the branches and leaves were lush and lush.

Wang Zhe felt such a breath of innate wood in the two trees.

It is indeed a spiritual root, extraordinary.

It's a pity that neither flower nor fruit,
Then he found the spiritual spring, not too far from the two jujube trees. The water from the spiritual spring flowed down and penetrated into the ground, just enough to nourish the two jujube trees.

Wang Zhe went around the island,
This island is indeed very good. It is lonely overseas, and there are few people to disturb it. It has extraordinary aura and beautiful scenery. It is a treasure land suitable for cultivation.

But Wang Zhe doesn't like it here, purely because he doesn't want to practice here.

I came here to find a place where I can practice for a long time.

But this trip was not in vain, and the harvest was still very rich, more than a dozen ancient books, a dragon stick, and an inverted horse stake.

In that cave, the young master secretly hid a few ancient books,
The monk with the sword on his back also put the two sword manuals into the wish bag,
The Taoist stowed more, and took two from each shelf. No matter what the content of the ancient books were, he put them in his sleeves.

Only the sloppy monk did nothing,

After Wang Zhe left, he also left.Wang Zhe walked around the island, and the sloppy monk followed suit.

"Monk, what are you doing behind me?" Wang Zhe turned and looked behind him.

The sloppy monk came out from behind a tree not far away.

"Poor monk Puding, I want to ask the benefactor to solve my doubts." The monk said truthfully.

"Confused?" Wang Zhe was quite surprised by this request.

"speak."

"Excuse me, benefactor, how to kill the heart demon?" The monk Puding said.

"Heart Slayer?"

Well, Wang Zhe recalled his past practice.

Flying through every level, it seems that he has not encountered any demons.

"What is a heart demon?" Wang Zhe asked back.

"The worries in my heart are hard to get rid of. Over time, they will become demons." The monk said truthfully.

"What is the monk afraid of?"

"Poor monk, afraid of death." Monk Puding said after hesitating for a moment.

Fear of death is normal.A monk is also a human being, and because he has lived long enough, he is even more afraid of death than ordinary people.

Just like the master and apprentice on this island, in order to survive, the master wanted to eat the disciple, but was eaten by the disciple instead.

Whether Wang Zhe is afraid or not, he probably will be afraid at the moment of life and death, but he has never thought about it.

Inner demon, inner demon, you will become a demon if you think too much.

If you don't think about it, why do you have demons?
Not all monks will have demons in the process of practice.

But once the demons arise, it is difficult to get rid of them. To get rid of the demons, one must first "see through".

What this monk wants to see through is the most difficult "concept of life and death".Only by seeing through life and death can we not be afraid of life and death.

"The monk wants to be detached?"

"Who in Buddhism doesn't want to seek detachment, who in the world doesn't want to seek detachment?" Pu Ding asked rhetorically.

"I think the monk thinks too much about one thing. The more he thinks about it, the more afraid he becomes, and the more he fears, the more he thinks about it.
Has the monk ever traveled around the world? "

"To be honest, the poor monk is traveling around the world, and he has also found many eminent Buddhist monks and monks from other places, but their words cannot be understood by the poor monk."

"There are three thousand ways, each person's path of practice is different, and his views on life and death are also different.

I walk my way, the monk wants to walk the way of the monk,

The monk might as well let it go for a while, do other things, go see those ordinary people more, taste the sufferings of the world,

Do things you've never wanted to do,

When you really face death, look back at your own life,
It's still wonderful, and it's not enough to do nothing! "

Monk Puding bowed his head in thought after hearing this.

"This monk must be on the edge of his horn." Wang Zhe thought.

People who are stubborn are usually not easy to enlighten, and monks are probably even more difficult to enlighten, because they are good at enlightening others, and it is difficult for a doctor to heal himself. This is what he said.

Wang Zhe ignored him and turned around to leave the island.

The boat was still there when it came,

This was fixed when they boarded the ship,

Send them here, and take them back, but the boatman only promised to wait for them for three days,
The boatman is also worried,
This sea is too weird,

"Why haven't you come back yet?" Every hour or two, he couldn't help but look in the direction of the island.

At this time, there was suddenly a person, a dog, and an eagle on the deck of the ship.

Wang Zhe returned to the deck with Laifu and Tuanzi,
"My lord, you are the first one to come back." The boatman jumped down and heaved a sigh of relief after seeing clearly that it was Wang Zhe.

"Boatman, you're from there, right?" Wang Zhe pointed in one direction.

"Yes, yes, roughly in that direction." The boatman nodded.

"Thank you." Wang Zhe left him an ingot.

"You are polite, you go to the cabin first, and they should be coming soon."

"I reckon they won't be here for a while."

After speaking, Wang Zhe took Tuanzi and Laifu into the sky and disappeared.

"Hey, why is it gone again?" The boatman and the guy were stunned again.

The light on Wang Zhe's body was shining, and he flew above the clouds with Laifu and Tuanzi, with the boundless sea below him.

The ever-smaller island behind him,
The few remaining monks found the two jujube trees,
"This is the spiritual root of heaven and earth. Eating a jujube can live for decades. It's a pity that we came at the wrong time." The Taoist said humanely.

"How long will it take for him to mature?" the young master asked hastily after hearing this.

"You see that they don't show any signs of blooming. I'm afraid it will take decades, or even a hundred years."

"So long?!" The young man was taken aback after hearing this.

"Then we can only come again next time. It's a pity. It would be great if we could remove them."

"Don't even think about it. If this kind of spiritual root is moved, unless it has incomparably profound magic power, it is very likely that it will be directly moved to death."

"There is also a spiritual spring here."

They soon found that Lingquan again.

The spiritual energy emanating from the spiritual spring is almost visible to the naked eye.

"This should be drinkable, right?"

Several people look at me and I look at you, but no one dares to be the first to drink.

"Hey, where are those two?"

They looked around, the young man suddenly flew up, shaped like a roc, rushed into the grass,
After a while, he came back with an extra rabbit in his hand.

He squatted down by the spring, took out a small jade cup from the Ruyi bag he carried with him, scooped up some water, and fed it to the rabbit.

After drinking, the rabbit blinked his eyes, wiped his mouth with his front paws, with a frightened expression on his face.

After letting go, he jumped away.

"It looks fine, you can drink."

The young master scooped up a cup of spring water first, raised his head and drank it. It was cool and sweet. After drinking it for a while, he suddenly felt that his whole body became cool and transparent, very comfortable.

Seeing that he was fine after drinking, the remaining two people took out their water containers, took the water from the Lingquan, took a sip, and then shut up.

"Happy!" The young master hiccupped.

Having drunk their fill by this spring, they continued their search.

I met a monk who bowed his head in meditation in the woods.

"Then what happened to the monk?"

The young man was about to go over to say hello but was stopped by the Taoist next to him.

"Don't disturb him, he is enlightening."

"Enlightenment?"

"Maybe it's a chance."

The three of them continued to explore the entire island without disturbing Monk Puding.

As they walked, the three of them separated.

This island has secret books of exercises, spiritual root treasure trees, spiritual springs, and there must be other treasures,

We are not familiar with each other, why should we share treasures?
After they separated, their movements became much faster.

"There must be another baby, a better baby!" They all thought so.

"what is that?"

The young master who was searching in the forest suddenly found a flash of spiritual light in the forest, and rushed over.

I saw a golden bracelet in the grass, emitting aura.

"Baby?!" He glanced around and rushed over after confirming that there were no traps.

Picking up the bracelet on the ground, hum, the bracelet suddenly emitted a circle of spiritual light, and the young man's body shook, as if he had been electrocuted.

Gudong suddenly fell to the ground.

Rustle, rustle, what's happening in the forest,
A head popped out from the grass, with long fluffy ears, it was a rabbit. Looking carefully, it was the same rabbit that this young man grabbed and force-fed the spring water just now.

The rabbit came to the young man's side, grabbed him in a circle, raised its paw and pressed his face twice, then turned its head to look around.

After confirming that there was no one around, he suddenly opened his mouth and bit the young man's throat, and immediately blood flowed out.

All the blood that flowed out was sucked into the mouth of the rabbit. After a while, the blood on the young man's body was sucked by the rabbit, and his body shriveled up.
The rabbit's belly bulged, it looked around, and quickly picked up the bracelet and walked away.

Half an hour later, the cultivator with the sword on his back saw an aura shining in the grass in front of him, and when he took a closer look, there was actually a beautiful bracelet emitting aura on the ground.
Monk Puding looked at the shriveled corpses on the ground and fell into thought.
The cultivator who practiced on this island is already dead, so what happened to the corpse he buried with his own hands?

He bent down and looked at the wound on the opponent's neck.

This was different from the way he had seen the people killed by him before. Those monks had no obvious wounds on their bodies.

"In other words, there will be monks on the next path, or some monster."

Zen Master Puding was walking in the forest after burying the monk, and suddenly saw a spiritual light shining in the distance, but when he got closer, it turned out to be a bracelet.
"treasure?"

He looked at the bracelet, not approaching, but looking around,

Whoosh, the figure disappeared, and the next moment, he came to a rabbit.

The chubby rabbit was startled when it saw him, turned around and ran away, and was pinned down by his palm after a few steps.
"What a strong energy!" The monk raised his hand and pressed it lightly.

The rabbit kept kicking on its four short legs, looking very flustered.

Monk Puding continued to exert force, and blood flowed from the rabbit's mouth and ears. After a while, the rabbit kicked its legs and died immediately.

"Dead?" Monk Puding was taken aback.

"Amitabha, it's a pity to die like this. Why don't you bake it and eat it?"

After all, he actually found firewood, lit the fire, raised his hand, and the rabbit's body flew up and landed on the flames.

The rabbit suddenly turned over in mid-air, and swished away.

The monk followed and stopped in front of him, and knocked it down from mid-air with one palm.
