The heavens start with Buddhist disciples

Chapter 81

Ji Ran looked at Ying Zheng with a smile and said: "This time I came back from the Maurya Dynasty, but I brought you good things. I have found the seeds that I promised you would yield a thousand kilograms per mu."

Ying Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Sir, you are really a blessing to the Qin Dynasty. I have sent people to search for it for many years, and the mirage has been under the control of Yun Zhongjun for ten years, but there is still no news."

When Ji Ran heard this, she didn't know that the liar Xu Fu had taken the money and ran away again and went to Fusang.

Ji Ran thought in her heart: "Maybe I can go to Fusang Island before I die. That short and dirty nation is really hard to let go."

"Even though I am now highly skilled in Buddhism, I still gnash my teeth when I think of the hundred years of humiliation. Can I return the fan that carries 30 names to them?"

Ji Ran, who lived in Ziwei Palace for three days, accompanied by Fusu, began to travel around what is now the Qin Empire.But before traveling, everyone returned to Songshan Mountain.

Today's Songshan still looks peaceful and quiet, without the worldly world.There are dozens of monks in the temple, each with their own duties. The people in Songshan County at the foot of the mountain are also prosperous and healthy. Ji Ran even saw several octogenarians, still strong and helping in the fields with some farm work within their ability.

Entering the back hall, Ji Ran only saw Bingmei, Laoshuang and Nilinjian, but not Han Fei, who was the same age as herself.

Ji Ran sighed: "Has that person gone already?"

Bing Mei nodded, then shook his head.Said: "Senior Brother Diexin now has this reverse scale sword. He said that the master can communicate with him through the reverse scale."

Ji Ran looked at Lao Shuang, who had difficulty moving, and asked, "My disciple Lao Shuang, how do you feel about being with this old body all these years?"

Lao Shuang laughed heartily and said to Ji Ran: "My old body can only constrain my actions, but cannot constrain my soul. My thoughts are still free, and my soul is still strong."

As he spoke, a surging sword intent came towards Ji Ran, like a big river, rushing endlessly.Ji Ran didn't defend herself, nor did she make any movements, but just realized this feeling carefully.

Then he asked Laoshuang: "So the body is just a river embankment that restricts the direction of the river, and the mind and soul are like river water. They can flow freely. On a whim, they can even rush out of the river embankment. And those who are washed by the sword's river I seem to feel that your whole life, just a few breaths seems to have passed a hundred years."

Lao Shuang said: "Yes, the disciple feels that the true meaning of Lao is the passage of time, just like the endless flow of a river. The disciple has poured all the changes and insights from childhood to old age into the sword intention. If the opponent's mind is not strong, You may even feel extremely old for a moment, and even your body will have a corresponding feeling."

"For me, pouring out this old sword intention is like my spirit breaking through the shackles of a river. As long as my heart is not old, I can perfectly control this old intention of the deceased."

Ji Ran said: "It seems that you have got rid of the old poison of the seven poisons of life. Yes, as long as the heart is not old, no matter how old the body is, people are still young. It is nothing more than being bound by some thoughts. And the aging of the body Going is also the manifestation of time, congratulations on understanding your own unique way."

"From my perspective, although your physical cultivation is at the peak of an innate grandmaster, your mental cultivation has probably reached the level of a grand master."

Lao Shuang smiled and said: "A free heart will not be locked or bound by anything, not even the realm of cultivation. So why bother forcing the great master?"

Ji Ran nodded and said, "Good!"

Ji Ran turned to look at Bingmei again and asked: "My disciple Bingmei, how is your illness now? What insights have you gained over the years?"

Bing Mei said: "The sword wound that Tian Guang stabbed into my heart has healed. Over the years, I can even feel the symptoms of heaven and earth. I use my heart to understand and feel. Heaven and earth are communicating with me. As the Qin Dynasty has prospered over the years, my My heart also feels the joy and joy of heaven and earth.”

"However, Tiandi seems to have some minor illnesses recently. It seems to be in the south, in Dachu. If Master goes to see Junior Sister Li Shang, he might as well go to the former Dachu. Maybe he can help Tiandi cure his disease."

Ji Ran was also surprised and thought to herself: "I didn't expect Nian Duan to combine his own mental illness with the doctor's diagnosis and treatment ability, and he actually realized the ability to communicate with and diagnose the world. That's right, the so-called medical treatment heals the country, and the second is to treat people. The earth’s mountains and rivers are the pulse of Kyushu.”

"The changes of the four seasons are the rhythm of the heaven and earth, and the wind, frost, rain and snow are the breathing of the heaven and earth."

Thinking of this, Ji Ran said to Nianduan: "It seems that my disciple Bingmei's soul has been sublimated. Although it will not last long, he can deeply integrate with the world in a short period of time."

Bingmei nodded and said, "I would also like to thank my master for the medical classics he left behind, and for comprehending some of Zhuangzi's principles over the years, so that I can reach this point."

Ji Ran smiled and said: "Good!"

Afterwards, Ji Ran communicated with the two of them again, and introduced Hu Hai behind them. The two of them also tested Hu Hai with their own divine will, and concluded that he was determined and had no heart disease.

Ji Ran was very pleased after hearing this. In the end, Hu Hai was changed by him.Fusu, who accompanied Ji Ran, was also surprised to find Hu Hai's changes.The cold and violent eighteenth brother at the beginning turned out to be gentle and calm, just like those monks in the Shaolin Temple who had achieved some success in practice.

Ji Ran returned to her room with the sword box containing the Nilin Sword.After sitting cross-legged and meditating, immeasurable starlight appeared from the top of Ji Ran's head, and then fell down like the Milky Way, wrapping the entire Ni Lin sword body. After all, Ni Lin was a broken sword that was broken into many pieces.

When the galaxy wrapped around the broken sword, a humble gentleman with a high crown and a high profile appeared in front of Ji Ran's eyes, it was Han Fei in his youth.But the once mysterious Ni-Scale Sword Soul has disappeared.

Ji Ran asked: "Should I call you Death Heart, Han Fei, or Ni Lin?"

The man with a high crown and a lot of knowledge said: "All three are me, but none of them are me. Now I am a brand new person after integrating the three. You can call me Fazu, or Han Feizi."

Ji Ran smiled and said: "Now that you have become a son, I think you have extraordinary knowledge. I wonder what you have learned in these years?"

Han Feizi said: "Between life and death, the will of death permeates the air. Death is a curse, a curse that no one can break, and a result that everyone is afraid of. And what is accompanied by death is more Killing. I once went to the battlefield of the Changping Battle between Qin and Zhao, where I saw millions of dead souls."

"Now, they are standing behind me. Are you! Scared?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Ran seemed to really see a million-strong army that was killing them neatly and with swords and halberds appearing behind Han Feizi.But Ji Ran just smiled lightly and said: "This is just a little fear in your heart. It is not so much an army of millions, but it is better to say that it is the Qin army formation that you and I saw together."

"So, my disciple who is determined to die, what have you realized?"

After hearing Ji Ran's words, Han Feizi's high-gown belt disappeared, and finally turned into an old man. The old man saluted Ji Ran and said: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Master. I have indeed understood a kind of relationship between life and death." The state is neither life nor death, I don’t know how to describe it.”

Ji Ran asked: "Is it just like you now?"

Death Heart nodded, and then with a wave of his hand, Ni Lin's Sword Soul also appeared here.Death Heart said: "When I was dying, I could often see him, so I learned from his existence. Now, I am living in the sword like this, neither alive nor dead."

Ji Ran said: "Life and death are impermanent, and disillusionment leads to rebirth. It's better to call your current state an impermanent ghost body. Maybe there will be a chance of resurrection in the future."

Han Fei asked in surprise: "What do you mean by the chance of resurrection?"

Ji Ran said: "This is the biggest difference between you and Ni Lin. He can't think. Although he is in human form, he only has instincts and maybe no memory. But you are like a real person, but you are missing A body. Do you still remember what happened after you entered the sword?"

Han Fei nodded and said: "I still remember that I couldn't see the sun and the moon here, and I was very bored, so I started to practice many martial arts that I had seen in my current form. I found that I could only practice the moves. In the end, I only became more proficient, but nothing special. The effect. Then I tried the peacock visualization diagram left by Master, and I even went to the living beings to ask for a few peacock feathers."

"Finally, I found out that it really works. In recent months, I can even briefly appear in Lao Shuang's dreams."

Ji Ran sighed and said: "Sure enough, those of you who are favored by fate are all talented. Once you have the opportunity, you will do something great."

Han Fei was a little confused and asked, "What does Master mean by this?"

Ji Ran shook his head and said, "Everything depends on the future!"

As soon as the words fell, the long river of starlight returned to Ji Ran's body, and at the same time, the sword box containing Ni Lin, including Ni Lin, also disappeared.

"According to legend, this reverse scale sword is the divine sword owned by Zhuanxu Gaoyang, one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. It is best to help give up the heart and find another place to live. It is better to have less contact with the legendary objects. If there is any Big cause and effect, the trouble will be in the future." Ji Ran thought in her mind.

So in the next three months, Ji Ran did not set off to find other disciples, but communicated with the dead soul to learn his "between life and death".Fortunately, Ji Ran had the experience of death in the previous life, and the life experience of being resurrected from Tian Qian's corpse in this life.Finally mastered the secret.

So Ji Ran took out the Ganjiang Sword, Moye Sword, Shuihan Sword and the Kunwu Sword that he had never used since he got it.After trying one by one without giving up, I found that there was already a weak spirit in the Ganjiang Sword and Moye Sword, just like Ni Lin.

In the Kunwu Sword, there is a demonic thought that makes Death Heart very uncomfortable. Although it is the most suitable, Death Heart finally chose Shuihan Sword.

Ji Ran plans to enshrine the Nilin Sword in Songshan Mountain. After all, there is a sword spirit. Maybe after receiving incense for thousands of years, it is not certain that he will actually become the God of Incense and Fire.

After that, Ji Ran started her journey again. What surprised Ji Ran was that Fusu also stayed in Songshan for three months and did not return to Luoyang.

Ji Ran asked Fusu, "Is it really okay for you to neglect government affairs like this?"

Fusu smiled and said: "Government affairs are there and can never be finished, but the opportunity to communicate with the master is rare."

Ji Ran understood it as soon as he heard it; "This is because after seeing the changes in Hu Hai, Fusu also had a sense of urgency. Although he felt that he was very good, he knew himself and the enemy and could win a hundred battles. Rather than following himself, it was better to observe Hu Hai. It is a pity that Hu Hai is now He looks peaceful and kind, without knowing the depth. It’s hard for Ji Ran to see through Hu Hai’s current nature.”

One day later, everyone set out on their way to Jicheng, the ancient country of Yan that was closest to Mount Wutai.After seeing the railway tracks now criss-crossing and the train locomotive turning into steel, Ji Ran seemed to have the illusion of returning to Blue Star Modern.

On the train, looking at the corn and sorghum on both sides of the road, Ji Ran seemed to have returned to the Blue Star of the past, when she would take the train home during winter and summer vacations.Unconsciously, Ji Ran fell asleep on the train. With his current level of cultivation, even if he stayed up for three days and three nights, he would not suddenly feel sleepy.

Ji Ran had a dream, a very long dream.In the dream, he got on the train home and sang, played cards and games with his classmates and roommates.The fatigue of the journey did not affect my excitement of returning home at all. Sitting on a hard seat for dozens of hours was as easy as eating and drinking.

Ji Ran even saw her friends from the upper bunk who were chatting on the train, as well as her classmates who especially liked to brag...

When getting off the car, Fusu woke up Ji Ran.After Ji Ran opened her eyes, she looked around and then closed her eyes and sighed in her heart: "Unfortunately, that was nearly 200 years ago."

Fusu and others also looked suspicious when they heard Ji Ran's words, not knowing what he was talking about.Seeing Ji Ran's desolate state, others did not dare to come forward and ask.

Walking on the mountain road of Wutai Mountain, others have no obvious feeling. They just feel that Ji Ran's existence seems to be absent, and they always ignore him unconsciously.However, Lao Shuang looked at Ji Ran in surprise, and then said: "Congratulations, Master, for breaking through to the Grand Master realm!"

Hearing Lao Shuang's voice, Ji Ran woke up from her trance and began to examine herself. Then a smile appeared on her face and she said, "I would also like to thank Da Qin for giving me a good dream."

Only when others heard this did they realize that Ji Ran had an epiphany on the road just now and broke through to the realm of a grand master who is now the best in the world.Fusu also stepped forward and said, "Congratulations, Master, for becoming a Grandmaster."

Ji Ran asked Fusu calmly: "How many great masters are left in the world now?"

Fusu said: "Ten years ago, Master Xun of Xiaoshengxian Village passed away. Gui Guzi has been missing for many years. Today's Mo family Juzi is Jing Tianming. It is unknown whether Mo Qinzi is still alive. Senior Bei Mingzi lives in seclusion in Taiyi Mountain, Master Xiaomeng also traveled down the mountain a few years ago, Taoism has always been isolated from the world, so I don’t know the details.”

"The only grand master that the empire can confirm is Donghuang Taiyi who is currently in Jieshi Palace. I don't know why Donghuang Taiyi did not follow the mirage and left, but stayed in Jieshi Palace alone. With this breakthrough of the master, the empire's heritage will be If it is strengthened again, it will no longer have any scruples because of Donghuang Taiyi's strength."

Ji Ran pondered for a while and said: "Maybe I know why Donghuang Taiyi did not leave Jieshi Palace. Forget it, I will go find him after seeing the seven of you."

After hearing Ji Ran's words, except for Bingmei and Laoshuang, the two people who once knew the existence of ink, everyone else was still confused.

Mount Wutai is named Wutai because it has five peaks, one each in the southeast, northwest, and middle.The center is where all the creatures are.Before everyone could reach the top of Zhongtai Mountain, the sky suddenly turned dark, as if dark clouds were covering the top, and there was lightning and thunder.

However, the imaginary thunderbolt and lightning did not appear. What appeared above everyone's heads was a dense flock of birds. In the middle of the flock was a huge creature, which was the super-large white peacock and precious pigeon that Nong Yu gave to Bai Feng.

Bai Feng jumped down from the back of the white peacock, arrived in front of Ji Ran, stepped forward and said excitedly: "Master, are you finally willing to come see me?" At the same time, while Ji Ran was not paying attention, several feather blades came from Ji Ran attacked Ji Ran from behind.

Ji Ran smiled slightly and made no move, then saw the feather blade reach three feet in front of Ji Ran, and actually danced, like a few butterflies, moving gracefully, and finally fell into Ji Ran's hand.

Ji Ran nodded and said, "Well, yes, my kung fu has improved, and I am already half-step to the level of a grand master. I hope to become a grand master in the future."

Although Bai Feng was surprised, he still said unconvinced: "Next time, I will definitely break through the three-foot realm around Master."

Ji Ran smiled and said, "You can definitely do it."

After saying that, several big birds with wingspans of more than ten meters landed in front of everyone. Bai Feng said: "You are walking too slowly. I will take you to fly up. Hurry up."

After a while, everyone arrived at the entrance of the temple at the top of Mount Wutai. When they saw the name "Hundred Birds Temple" on the temple, everyone was dumbfounded.But when everyone saw hundreds of birds flying around the white phoenix, no one thought the name was funny anymore.

After entering the main hall, everyone took their seats. Ji Ran asked Bai Feng as usual: "My disciple, what insights have you gained in these years?"

Bai Feng said: "Life is beautiful, life is free, life is happy, and life is sad. Joy, anger, sadness, fear, love, evil, and desire are all life. We must love life and embrace it. Life, with life, will give you infinite everything.”

Ji Ran concluded: "So, you have seen everything in the world in your life and experienced the seven emotions of human beings."

Bai Feng did not answer, but stretched out his finger and pointed at Ji Ran.When this finger hit Ji Ran's eyebrow, Ji Ran closed her eyes for a long time before slowly opening her eyes and asked Bai Feng: "What is the name of this finger?"

Bai Feng replied: "It's safe and sound."

Ji Ran said: "Good! I have seven disciples, and you are the only one who can inherit my mantle. This true meaning of freedom is exactly what my master Zhuangzi cultivated, and you can inherit my lineage."
