The national teacher does not practice

Chapter 316 Ji Pingan: I have a sword that can kill the Lord Buddha ([-] words, please subscribe)
The realm of Kongming Bodhisattva!
When the Lord Buddha revealed this name in a solemn, almost pious gesture.

Ji Ping'an was stunned for a moment instinctively, and the depths of his eyes shrank into a small dot.

Of course he knows the name. All Buddhist monks, when meditating, will be infinitely close to the so-called "Void Bodhisattva Realm".

Most people only think that this is a description of a certain state of concentration, similar to the expression of "flow" or "sage moment".

But those who know more about the secrets of the spiritual world know:
The so-called "Kongming Bodhisattva Realm" is said to be a unique field left by "Buddha", one of the three ancient saints who created the Buddhist practice.

Just like when a person advances to sit in a well, an area similar to the "wellhead" will open around him.

If you are better at observing the sky, you can use this area to guide the weather of the surrounding heaven and earth.

Once you enter the realm of Shen Zang, this field will become even more powerful.

As a result, as long as you stand in the field, you are almost invincible.

The "Kongming Bodhisattva Realm" is the name of the Buddha's "realm".

After the death of all practitioners, the realm they possess naturally disappears, but the Buddha is an exception.

When he was in Yunlin Zen Monastery, Master Yihong once said before his death that he heard the whispers of the Buddha in the "Kongming Bodhisattva Realm".

Ji Ping'an's three generations of practice have reached the pinnacle, but they have never gone through the Buddhist system.

It’s not like there wasn’t any attempt at contact.

But it is only a superficial taste, it has not gone deep, and it is impossible to be pious enough to have a deep understanding of the Bodhisattva state.

So now when he heard Lord Buddha utter this name, he couldn't help but feel the ripples in his heart.

"Bodhisattva Realm? Do you think this mountain in front of you is the Bodhisattva Realm?"

Ji Ping'an had a somewhat unbelievable tone.

This feeling is just like one day when someone pointed to an extra scale on the clock and said that this was the legendary "Sage's Hour".

Lord Buddha smiled: "Of course."

He seemed very happy to finally be able to see emotions other than indifference on the face of Grand Master Zhou.

Ji Ping'an fell silent, and after a moment he praised:

"I once thought that I had insight into all the secrets of the world, until I noticed something unusual in the starry sky. Now I have discovered the second one. The Buddha's realm actually exists in reality... If this news is revealed, I am afraid that countless Buddhist disciples will It’s going to be crazy.”

He adjusts his emotions quickly.

Lord Buddha shook his head and said:

"But this place didn't exist forever. It was only revealed to the world a few months ago."

Another big news!
"After the stars return to their positions?" Ji Ping'an asked.

Lord Buddha nodded and said in a sighing tone:

"I used to think that the so-called Bodhisattva state was just a spiritual state deep in Buddhism. It wasn't until you came back that I gradually noticed changes in the Bodhisattva state in the past while meditating. There were colors and sounds. I pursued Following that transformation, you will find the entrance to the realm of Kongming Bodhisattva."

Ji Ping'an's heart moved and he thought of something.

"Let's go," Lord Buddha made an invitation gesture and said with a smile:
"I am afraid that the national master is the first outsider to enter the realm of Kongming Bodhisattva in ancient times."

Ji Pingan's tone was slightly sarcastic: "Do I have any other choice?"

The two climbed up the steps and walked along the slippery mountain road.

The morning mist rolled on both sides, giving Ji Ping'an the illusion that he was walking on the road leading to the "Kingdom of God" with an abyss on both sides.

In the Bodhisattva state, everything is silent and there is no sound.

The field of vision was limited. When they walked to the ancient temple, they found that the place was far less majestic than it looked from a distance.

Instead, it looked dilapidated and cold.

The ancient temple is built with blue bricks and gray tiles. There are no monks staying there. Open the door and walk into the front hall.

You can see the square is overgrown with weeds, and a huge pool in the center has dried up and is covered with dead leaves.

There is an atmosphere in the air that makes people feel peaceful and free from desires.

After bypassing the pool, the two walked into the front hall, opened the ajar door, and the sunlight poured in from outside.

You can see a huge golden body of Buddha, sitting cross-legged on a lotus platform, looking down at the world with a compassionate expression.

The golden body was so huge that it almost touched the dome of the hall. In comparison, the two people who entered the door looked like ants.

"Is the Buddha's realm so shabby?" Ji Ping'an asked with a smile.

Still trying to provoke, but the old monk beside him didn't answer.The robes on his body began to return to their original appearance:

The crimson monk's robes, the silver beads, and the extraordinary wooden fish on his waist changed his aura from that of an ordinary monk to pious and majestic.

He flicked his sleeves, and the items purchased from Yuezhou City fell to the ground.

"Chi." Lord Buddha picked up three sticks of incense, lit it with his fingertips, and inserted it into the incense burner:
"Does the Imperial Master know why we need to burn incense to worship the Buddha?"

Without waiting for Ji Ping'an's answer.

The old monk explained to himself:
"Incense is the incense of faith, that is, spreading the heart of piety and respect throughout the empty Dharma Realm to show the Buddha's thoughts. Burning the true incense of precepts and concentration means making the determination to diligently practice the three disciplines of precepts, concentration, and wisdom, and extinguish the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance. This is the intention.”

He picked up the flowers again and placed them in front of the Buddha:
"Flowers are the cause of cultivation. Only when they bloom can they bear fruit. Offering flowers in front of the Buddha reminds Buddhist disciples to remember that if they want good results, they must sow good causes."

He picked up the porcelain bowl again, and clear water emerged from the bowl:
"Watering water in front of the Buddha is not to invite the Buddha to drink, but to illuminate the monk's heart, which is clear and calm without any ripples."

He took out the fruit:
"The result is the retribution, for reflection."

Finally, the old monk took out a piece of candle and ignited it on its own, and then the candle in his hand ignited.

Throughout the hall, flames lit up on their own in the dried wax oil on countless lamp stands.

In the blink of an eye, the lights were bright and the Buddha's golden body also appeared splendid.

Ji Pingan asked:
"So, what does this candle mean? Burn yourself and light up others? Sacrifice yourself to save others?"

Lord Buddha shook his head, blew gently, extinguished the candle in his hand and put it into his sleeve:

"It has no meaning, it's just used to light the fire."

...Then what are you pretending to be... Ji Ping'an had no expression on his face.

At this moment, the entire ancient temple was still peaceful, but in the main hall where the golden statue was placed, the lights were brightly lit.

Ji Ping'an suddenly raised his head and looked at the lifeless "golden body". With the star officer's spiritual sense, he was sure that there was nothing special about this thing.

"How big is this Bodhisattva realm?" he suddenly asked.

Lord Buddha shook his head and said:
"I don't know. I can only set foot on this mountain. Finally, the thousands of mountains further away are all flowers in the water, and the moon in the mirror cannot be touched."

Ji Pingan said:
"There doesn't seem to be anything special here. You brought me here just to visit this ruins, right?"

Lord Buddha smiled and said:
"Of course not. I suspect that this was once the Buddha's cave, his residence in the mortal world... Of course, this is not important."

After a pause, he turned around, stared at Ji Pingan with eyes as clear as a child, and said with a smile:
"As for the real purpose of inviting the Imperial Master here, it is very simple. There is only one."

"what?"

Lord Buddha replied: "Kill me."

kill me... kill me...

At this moment, Ji Ping'an was slightly stunned when he heard the voices echoing from around the hall:

"You said you want me to kill you?"

This is undoubtedly an incredible answer.

However, Lord Buddha was very serious, with determination and fanaticism in his eyes:
"To be precise, it kills the...'demon' in my heart!"

Ji Ping'an stared at him for a moment, then suddenly sighed: "You are indeed obsessed."

Lord Buddha was slightly surprised: "Did the Master guess it?"

At this moment, Ji Pingan calmed down and said calmly:
"These days, I have been thinking about your purpose of kidnapping me and leaving. Since you are not taking me to Southern Tang Dynasty, you obviously do not want to use my identity for profit... In other words, this can be left behind. You have other priorities."

"So, I began to think carefully about what you said to me when we met outside Yuhang City. One paragraph caught my attention."

Lord Buddha said "Oh?" "Which sentence?"

Ji Pingan said:
"About the part about Mahayana Buddhism. You asked me how to avoid the sight of others and be reborn. This is a proper question, but the topic of Mahayana Buddhism is a little abrupt. So I further thought of the 'fighting' that you secretly fueled..."

"Actually, after the fight, I felt something was wrong. Because the most important thing about Yihong's death was not the reputation of Buddhism at all...the most important point was the cause of his death!"

"Outsiders don't know what happened, but after the Buddhist investigation, how could they not notice it? But the entire mission ignored the cause of Yihong's death when they arrived and left...

What I was thinking at the time was that even if you noticed something was wrong, because the things involved were too deep, you consciously concealed it and prepared to investigate secretly. "

"But after thinking about it, I realized that there is another possibility, that is... you know how Kazuhiro died. In other words... you know the truth about Kazuhiro's obsession!"

Ji Ping'an's tone was calm and his speaking speed was neither urgent nor slow.

Qingpiao said this key issue.

The truth behind the death of Master Yihong!

As the only person he talked to before his death, Ji Ping'an learned that the reason why Yihong became possessed by the devil was the result of years of hard work and lack of direction.

But what's even more terrible is that I vaguely heard the bewitchment of "Buddha" from the "Kingming Bodhisattva Realm".

The Lord Buddha's eyes slowly narrowed: "Continue talking."

Ji Pingan smiled:

"After thinking about this, I suddenly realized that Yihong was able to detect abnormalities in the Bodhisattva realm. As the master of Buddhism, isn't it normal for you to notice something is wrong? And you took the initiative to bring up the fight after meeting me. … It’s hard not to make associations.”

Lord Buddha said calmly: "But it's just an association."

"That's right," Ji Ping'an nodded and said with a smile:
"So, I was just a little confused at the time. But there was no definite guess...until we had that meal in Yuezhou City. I did try to provoke you deliberately. The purpose was just to try to understand your character. , after all, after so many years, you and I have never been very familiar with each other...but I didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise."

"After I ridiculed your life experience, you brought up the fight again. To be precise, you brought up my destruction of the Pure Light Buddha's Heart. This made me realize that you seem to be extremely sensitive to the 'Buddha's Heart'.

This is strange. Logically speaking, as a Shenzang monk, your Buddha's heart should be indestructible and have no loopholes. This is something that does not need to be emphasized, but you still emphasized it..."

He smiled and said with complicated eyes:

"It just so happens that I know very well that the reason why people are 'stinged' by other people's words is because they are often poked at their worries. And the more emphasis is placed on something, the less something is often lacking."

Lord Buddha said:

"So, you are beginning to suspect that there is something wrong with my Buddha mind?"

"That's right," Ji Ping'an said with a smile:
"And all your subsequent behaviors have further deepened my suspicion. The monster you encountered in the caravan further exposed your problem. You didn't dare to kill the enemy. The closer you got to your destination, The more pious he is, he looks like a mortal Buddhist disciple.

Therefore, I had an interesting thought in my mind. If something went wrong in the Bodhisattva realm, Yihong would have heard the voice in the Bodhisattva realm, thus giving birth to inner demons and destroying himself.

Is it possible that... you, who also have a deep understanding of the bodhisattva realm, have encountered similar problems to Kazuhiro?Have you also been polluted by something that has polluted your Buddha mind? "

silence!

At this moment, the spiritual light in Lord Buddha's eyes was beating violently, as if he was struck by something.

And his reaction also confirmed Ji Ping'an's guess.

Lord Buddha smiled bitterly and praised:
"As expected of the Imperial Master, his cultivation is so weak, but his vision is still vicious. Yes, just as the Imperial Master expected, the poor monk gave birth to an inner demon."

At this time, he had nothing to hide and looked magnanimous.

"Why?" Ji Ping'an asked, and suddenly his heart moved: "Because of the saint?"

He remembered that Lord Buddha once said that he was searching for the secret of the saint.

Lord Buddha nodded and said with a confused expression:
"Since the stars returned to their positions, I have been vaguely aware of the abnormality of the Bodhisattva state, but it was still vague at first. It was not until it gradually became clear that I found this place. There was nothing gained at that time, but after I returned to Dajue Temple, I would sometimes hear I heard strange whispers, like flashes of thought, and only after I noticed them did I realize that I had unknowingly given birth to an inner demon."

"The inner demon gradually expanded, and I tried to eradicate it, but with little success. After tracing the source, I realized that the problem lay in this Bodhisattva realm. At this time, I learned about Kazuhiro's death.

After returning his body to Dajue Temple, I carefully examined the cause of his death, which strengthened some of my judgments.

If I allow my inner demon to grow, until it can rival the poor monk’s consciousness, I will be swallowed up by it. "

"So, I can only try to kill him, but the inner demon is also a part of me and coexists with me, so I must find an 'outsider' with enough ability to help me kill the other me."

Ji Ping'an said: "So you found me."

After a pause, he added: "You are not telling the truth. At least, what you gained from the Bodhisattva realm is not only inner demons, but also power."

Lord Buddha was silent and nodded gently:
"Indeed. After finding the Bodhisattva realm, the poor monk's cultivation has further improved. Therefore, I noticed the changes in Yu Hang in advance, but it was not until I actually saw you that I determined the best person to help me kill myself. , it’s you, the Imperial Preceptor.”

Ji Ping'an said "ha" with a slightly mocking tone:

"You're relying on me as a newbie to sit in a well?"

Lord Buddha said seriously:
"In terms of cultivation, you are certainly not good enough, but when it comes to dealing with inner demons, you should be very good at it."

Ji Ping'an did not refute.

Because he's really good at it.

Whether it was in the battle of Dharma, destroying the inner demons one after another, or breaking through the Taoist mind of Pure Light Bodhisattva with a few words, or going to the battle alone and winning the debate on Dharma with the previous Buddha... this has been proven time and again.

Lord Buddha continued:
"In today's world, there are not many people who can do this. Of course Headmaster Xin and others can do it, but the poor monk cannot believe it."

"But you can trust me," Ji Pingan sighed, "because I am weak enough, and you are sure to have complete control."

If you want to solve the inner demons of the great monks in the Shenzang realm, other Shenzang realms are capable of doing it.

But it is obviously impossible for Lord Buddha to hand over his life to other powerful people of the same level.

As for the strong men within Buddhism, let alone the question of whether they can be trusted or not, it is very difficult to deal with the question of strength restraint.

Moreover, even the Lord Buddha gave birth to inner demons. Who dares to bet that the rest of the powerful Buddhists are "safe" enough?
Ji Ping'an thought for a while and realized that he seemed to be the most suitable candidate.

He not only has profound knowledge of Buddhism and has the record of destroying the Buddha's heart, but he is also a monk of other paths, capable and weak...

perfect.

Lord Buddha continued:
"So, I asked the national master to go with me and go here. Because this is the source of the inner demon, and only here can he be truly killed. As for the previous series of kowtows, walking, observing the precepts... and so on.

These are all necessary means to open up the Bodhisattva Realm. If you want to enter here, you not only need to be a devout Buddhist disciple, but also need to show enough sincerity. "

Ji Ping'an suddenly remembered that when he was on Earth, the men and women who were rumored to go to Tibet to "purify their souls" also performed a lot of fancy rituals.

Therefore, Lord Buddha cannot fly over and must walk.

Therefore, he tried his best to control and reduce killing.

Therefore, he bought a bunch of things to worship Buddha, all for the purpose of knocking on the door of heaven.

Everything suddenly became clear.

"But why should I help you? Taking great risks?"

Ji Pingan asked:
"Why should I help a big enemy? Don't say, if I help you, you will let me go. You are not a three-year-old child, don't be so childish!"

The Lord Buddha smiled and said: "The Imperial Master will definitely help the poor monk. Because the Imperial Master is a gentleman."

This statement is nonsense and makes people laugh.

Ji Pingan smiled and said:
"Am I a gentleman? Haha, have you ever seen a gentleman who kills countless people and commits many sins in his life?"

The great master of the Zhou Dynasty was able to create a dynasty in his life, so he was certainly not a good person.

Lord Buddha asked:

"If you weren't a gentleman, why would you take huge risks to save the people in that city? Instead of just reaping the benefits?"

Ji Pingan restrained his smile:
"That's just a consideration of interests. Now that Lingsu has gathered in Lanzhou, it means that the fate of our human race is ruined. It will be a bad thing if it is destroyed."

Lord Buddha smiled and said:

"But a truly strong person has no boundaries or ethnic groups. As long as you are strong enough, it doesn't matter how the world changes."

After a pause, the old monk continued to smile:
"Of course, take a step back. Even if you, the Imperial Master, are not a gentleman and do not care about the world. But if the poor monk is really swallowed up by the inner demon, there will be another powerful, crazy and crazy Shenzang monk in the world. Isn't that right? Is this also a huge loss to the human race’s luck?”

Ji Ping'an's face was expressionless.

The other party’s meaning is very obvious:

If you don't save me, then when the Buddha goes crazy, everyone will have to bear this mess together.

Once a crazy and top-level god is really slaughtered, it will be a catastrophe.

At that time, if nothing else, at least the Great Zhou Qin Tian Jian and the entire Yuhang City would be killed without any pressure.

Of course, before that, it was obvious that Ji Ping'an was going to be the first to die.

But Lord Buddha did not take the initiative to mention the matter of killing him, but only talked about the consequences of his madness.

This is what the saying goes that a gentleman deceives others.

Lord Buddha smiled and said:

"On the contrary, if you help the poor monk, not only can you avoid a disaster, but the poor monk will also protect your life. Now I don't know how many masters are searching for you in the entire Kyushu. The poor monk is willing to form an alliance with Qin Tianjian to jointly deal with future catastrophes. How to choose the calamity depends entirely on the National Master’s thoughts.”

Ji Ping'an was silent for a long time, raised his head, and suddenly smiled:
"It seems that I don't have much choice."

The Lord Buddha smiled kindly, like a Maitreya Buddha.

After thinking briefly, Ji Pingan asked:

"How do I kill you?"

Lord Buddha said seriously:
"Later, the poor monk will restrain the inner demon. We will balance each other out, and he will not be able to attack you. As for how to eradicate it, the national master can flexibly adapt to his needs."

Ji Pingan smiled and said:
"Check and balance each other... When the time comes, not only will you check him, but he will also check you. Aren't you afraid that I will run away? Or kill both of you?"

Lord Buddha smiled and said, "The master is joking."

He didn't panic at all, with absolute confidence. Even if he was completely undefended, it was not something that a well-sitting monk could do whatever he wanted.

Ji Pingan sighed softly:
"Last question. What's wrong with the Bodhisattva realm? Why are you Buddhist disciples affected by...?"

Having said this, Lord Buddha became a little more serious. He hesitated a little, and seemed to think he was sure of victory. Finally he said:
"I suspect it has something to do with the saint's rebirth. But more specifically, I don't know."

Saint is reborn...

Ji Ping'an pursed his lips and said, "Okay, I promise you."

He seems to have resigned himself to his fate.

Lord Buddha smiled with satisfaction, as if he was proud to be able to drive the former No. 1 in the world.

He smiled and said: "Next, I will try to release him. The success or failure depends entirely on the national master."

Ji Ping'an said irritably: "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."

Lord Buddha calmly picked up the wooden fish from his waist and started tapping it gently:
Bang, bang, bang...

In the sound of wooden fish, the surrounding scenery unfolded like folds.

Then return to flatness.

Nothing changed in front of him. Ji Ping'an was still standing in this ancient Buddhist temple, and the Lord Buddha was still standing in front of him.

However, Ji Ping'an knew very well that he had entered the other party's spiritual realm.

The old monk in front of him is the inner demon of the other party.

The other party's clothes are completely opposite to those of the real Buddha. The monk's robes are dark green, the beads on his wrists are pure black, and there are no wooden fish on his waist.

"Are you the helper he hired to kill me?"

The old monk in dark green robes asked, staring at him with a half-smile.

Ji Ping'an said "Yes", turned to the futon under the Buddha statue, sat cross-legged on it, pointed to the opposite side slowly, and said with a smile:

"Sit down and talk?"

The demon monk turned his head and looked at him steadily, then he also laughed, sat down on the futon opposite, and said:

"Let's have a discussion."

Ji Ping'an asked curiously: "Oh?"

The demon monk said: "Let's join forces and kill him."

The "he" here undoubtedly refers to the red-robed Buddha.

Ji Ping'an asked: "What can you give me?"

The green-clothed demon monk said: "You can choose from all the nuns in Buddhism."

"..." Ji Ping'an laughed dumbly, "I'm not interested in women, and I tend to keep my word."

The demon monk became angry and stared at him with cold eyes:
"Keep your promise? Do you believe him? The reason why he was respectful to you along the way is because you are useful. Once you kill me, you will be useless. Will he keep a potential enemy? Even if he does, What awaits you is also an endless prison!"

Ji Ping'an shook his head and said with a smile:
"You made a mistake. I don't believe you, but I don't believe him either."

The demon monk frowned: "What do you mean?"

Ji Pingan smiled and said:
"After any inner demon is removed, the monk's strength will be greatly damaged. At least in the short term, the strength will plummet."

The demon monk sneered:
"So? Are you going to kill me and then take advantage of the opportunity to escape while he is seriously injured? It's ridiculous. You can't run away. Even if he is not even strong, he is not something that you, who are just sitting in the well, can compete with."

The demon monk laughed loudly, but gradually, he couldn't laugh anymore.

Because Ji Ping'an always kept smiling.

"What do you want to do?" the demon monk suddenly asked warily.

Ji Ping'an silently counted the time and said:

"What do you think is the purpose of talking so much nonsense to him outside just now? I'm waiting."

"Wait for what?"

Ji Ping'an smiled calmly and calmly:
"Wait for a sword."

……

……

Yuhang.

Sanqing View.

In a quiet room, Xin Yaoguang, holding a fly whisk and meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly had an idea and opened his eyes.

The female Taoist looked down at the Taoist scriptures spread out on the small table, and saw sudden flashes of light in the ripples on it, and the veins of mountains and rivers were faintly displayed on the pages of the book.

"Ginger Jiang..."

Xin Yaoguang suddenly changed her color, and after calling for more than ten days, she finally captured the location of the weapon spirit Jiang Jiang and received the urgent "help" signal.

"Ji Pingan..."

Without hesitation, at this moment, Xin Yaoguang's feathers swelled, and the wind suddenly rose in the temple. She jumped up and appeared above Yuhang City in an instant.

The beautiful swordsman's eyebrows were cold, the violent aura spread in all directions, and the clouds in the sky shook.

"scold!"

Xin Yaoguang's lotus mark flashed between his eyebrows. He raised his hand and pointed, and a green jade flying sword whizzed out from his sleeve. At first, it was only as long as a finger. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a three-foot green sword.

The female leader controlled the flying sword, followed the position of the Tao Sutra, and slashed through the air:
"go with!"

rumbling...

In an instant, the air was torn apart, and the water of the Qinhuai River that ran east to west in Yuhang City boiled.

Explodes pure white water columns!

Terrifying!

Old Willow Street.

The God Emperor, Huang He and Mu Yaoyao heard the sound and pushed open the door and walked out. They stood in the square courtyard and looked up. They were shocked to see a brilliant sword light, splitting into the air in the blink of an eye and disappearing at the end of the sky.
