Tongtian Bamboo Repair

Chapter 407 Cause and Effect

Holding the Buddhist treasure in hand, Zhang Miao said goodbye. After returning to his hut, Duoye came over and asked Zhang Miao in a low voice: "Junior brother Lianzhen, the master asked you to stay here, but to recruit a disciple?"

Zhang Miao nodded.

Duoye said with envy: "I think so. Being able to have an epiphany while the master is preaching must be so in line with the master's way. It would be strange if he didn't accept you as his disciple."

At this point, he paused, and then continued: "We came here to guard, but we have not made much achievements on the Buddhist path. Today you can worship under the seat of Master Jingzang, which is also a good path." He smiled. Then he patted Zhang Miao on the shoulder and said: "Junior brother, if you become prosperous in the future, don't forget me."

Zhang Miao smiled slightly and said, "How can I forget the friendship with Senior Brother Duoye?"

Both of them laughed, and then Duoye and Zhang Miao went to patrol separately. Even if you become a net-increased disciple, you still have to patrol when you need to.

As I walked in the prison, I was surrounded by the roars of demons. Eighty percent of the demons here are crazy, and the low-level demons are basically insane. Demons who are sane and sane are either not very deep in the devil's path, or they are very deep in the devil's path.

Of course, there are also demons like that. He has mastered the three swords of Abi and can cut off the demonic energy and evil thoughts on his body, but he can also maintain his sanity.

Zhang Miao was holding the magic pestle, and he suddenly stopped in front of a prison. An old and crazy demon was imprisoned in that prison. This demon has been imprisoned for a long time, and his lifespan is running out. He is now insane and indistinguishable between humans and animals.

Zhang Miao looked at him, and he rushed up and cursed madly at Zhang Miao through the grille. If it weren't for the barrier, this demon would have started killing.

Zhang Miao looked at him quietly. Suddenly, he raised the demon-subduing pestle in his hand and waved it gently towards the demon.

A flash of Buddha's light flashed across the demon's body like a sword's light. It was this ordinary sword that cut off the demonic energy from the devil's body and also cut away the evil thoughts in his heart.

The next moment, the demon's eyes gradually returned to clarity. He seemed to realize something, and then he took a few steps back and looked at Zhang Miao with an incredible expression.

Zhang Miao used the Po-Illusion Sword to cut off his delusions. Let him regain his composure. But this peace is only temporary, because as long as he is still trapped in the devil's path, he will still breed devilish energy. These demons who were possessed by demons were not passively transformed into demons by being infected by demonic energy, but rather their understanding of the Tao was deviated, and they themselves became demons.

The demon was stunned for a short time, and then he sneered and said: "Those who commit violence, even if you make me wake up, I will not let go of my way. Your understanding of Buddhism is wrong, and you are the ones who are possessed by the devil." !”

Sure enough, it is useless for such people to get rid of their delusions. Their delusions are deeply rooted in their hearts, and they feel in their hearts that their way is right.

Zhang Miao shook his head, picked up the demon energy crystal dropped by the demon and left.

The demonic energy chopped off by the Powan Sword will condense into demonic energy crystals, commonly known as 'dropped materials'. Breaking the Illusion Knife is more like performing a surgery to remove evil spirits and evil thoughts, rather than truly cutting off the evil thoughts in your heart.

In fact, Ksitigarbha created this sword not to cut off the delusions in his heart, but to cut off the delusions that invaded his heart. One is born of freedom of mind, and the other is caused by external invasion. The two are completely different.

Ksitigarbha’s Buddha’s heart was crystal clear, and there was nothing he couldn’t figure out. When he reaches that level, will his heart be blinded by other things? Of course not. The realm of Buddha is great wisdom and perfection. In terms of state of mind, Buddha is invincible.

After slashing out this sword, Zhang Miao had a deeper understanding of the PoWuYi sword. He continued to move forward, and then slashed at the demons who passed by.

The demons had no way to resist, and this sword would not kill them, it would just cut off their demonic energy and delusions. Zhang Miao picked up the fallen demon energy crystal, but he didn't care about those demons at all.

After a round of patrol, Zhang Miao got a lot of demonic energy crystals. It's just that the demonic energy on the first level is not produced much. After this harvest, it's not known how long it will take for the demonic energy to accumulate.

And all this about Zhang Miao was clearly seen by Net Zeng.

Netzen 'watched' his behavior, but there was a smile of relief on his face. He said to himself: "I knew that this was the only thing he had in his enlightenment. There is a trace of Ksitigarbha in his breath. He has got the attention of Ksitigarbha!"

Yehuo Honglian Temple has a deep relationship with Ksitigarbha. This temple can directly connect to the Blood Sea Hell, so it has the most complete inheritance of Ksitigarbha. This is the reason why Abi Sandao is passed down in this temple. It is the honor of the disciples of this temple to be paid attention to by Ksitigarbha.

If Zhang Miao dared to use Abi's three swords in the past, he would naturally be subject to a net increase in questioning. But now, Zhang Miao is his disciple. If my disciple can master the three swords of Abi, he will naturally have his own enlightenment! Does this still require an interrogation?

This is the difference between outsiders and our own people.

Zhang Miao used the Powang Dao to cut out the demonic crystals for his own practice. This was not a bad thing.

So, with Jing Zeng's acquiescence, Zhang Miao harvested the demonic energy from the demon, and then used the demonic energy to practice the Unwrathful King Kong. His progress in the practice of Unwrathed Vajra has been greatly improved.

"But there must be an explanation for his Abi Sandao..." Netzen couldn't help but think.
-

Less than half a month passed. Another outbreak of demonic energy occurred in the Demon Suppressing Cave. This outbreak of demonic energy is unusual. The scale of this outbreak of demonic energy is much larger. There was a huge resistance from the demons below the seventh floor of the Demon-Suppressing Cave. Master Jingzeng led a group of senior monks from the Demon-Suppressing Cave to suppress them. It took a lot of effort to suppress the demons. For this reason, Master Jingzin was injured.

After the demonic riot, Zhang Miao went to visit Master Jingzeng.

Master and disciple met each other in Master Jingzin's house. When Zhang Miao saw him, he saluted and said: "Master, I heard that you were injured while suppressing the demon, and the disciple came here to say hello. I wonder if Master is in any serious condition?"

Jingzin was extremely happy when he heard this. Who doesn't like filial disciples? He nodded and said, "I suffered some injuries, but they are not serious."

"Master is fine, so disciples can rest assured." Zhang Miao seemed to be relieved and continued.

Jingzeng smiled and said, "I think you seem to have mastered a little bit of the three swords of Ah Bi?" Hearing this, Zhang Miao's heart moved, but he expected that Jingzeng knew it, so he also admitted: "Disciple but I had an enlightenment. When I was enlightened that day, I felt a boundless Buddha power. In this boundless Buddha power, I felt a trace of the sword intention. Later, after careful consideration, I felt that it might be the three swords of Abi."

Jingzin also nodded and said, "Yes, that day you had an epiphany and the Buddha's light was abundant all over your body. This temple has a close relationship with Ksitigarbha. You may have been felt by Ksitigarbha when you had your enlightenment, so he gave you some pointers. That’s a good thing.”

After speaking, he took out a scroll from his arms and said: "This is a copy of the Ksitigarbha Sutra, the original version of the Ksitigarbha Sutra. The Ksitigarbha Sutra is the copy of the Ksitigarbha Sutra." The translation is a version compiled by many eminent monks in this temple. This version of the scripture is more suitable for understanding the three swords of Abi."

"You are destined to have a relationship with Ksitigarbha, and I wanted to ask for the Ksitigarbha Sutra for you. But the temple refused to allow it, thinking that you are not a person who specializes in Buddhism, and that the Buddhist principles are difficult and difficult for you to understand. But they are willing to give you a copy of the Ksitigarbha Sutra. Comprehend the "Ksitigarbha's Original Vow Sutra"."

Hearing these words, a thought slowly emerged in Zhang Miao's mind: "?" '. What's the point? The translation was not given, but the original version was given? Shouldn't the original be more precious?

Seeing Zhang Miao's confusion, Jingzeng sighed helplessly and said: "The Ksitigarbha's Original Vow Sutra was passed down from Ksitigarbha Ksitigarbha. The original sutra is profound and difficult to understand, and according to the wishes of Ksitigarbha Ksitigarbha, this sutra should be made public. To the public, so that more people can understand it. It’s just that this scripture is difficult to understand, so it is slowly hidden away.”

"I'm giving it to you today. I got it after asking for it for a long time. A monk who can only chant sutras looks down on us monks who are busy with worldly affairs." Master Jingzin couldn't help complaining.

Zhang Miao was silent. At this moment, he seemed to understand something. Why was this outbreak of demonic energy serious and why was the master injured? It seems that the master has good intentions in order to obtain this scripture...

Zhang Miao took the scripture and said to Jingzeng: "I will understand this scripture carefully. Thank you Master for giving it."

Jingzin nodded, then straightened his face and said, "This sutra is difficult to understand. If you can't understand it, don't force it. It would be bad if you become a demon. But you are destined to Ksitigarbha, so I think you still have a chance to give it a try. .”

Zhang Miao nodded. Then take this scripture and leave.

When Zhang Miao leaves, the net increase will be ignored. In his opinion, Zhang Miao probably couldn't understand the scriptures, but that didn't matter. He gave Zhang Miao the "Ksitigarbha's Original Vow Sutra" just to give him a reason for his three swords.

After Zhang Miao obtained the scroll, he went back and opened it and began to comprehend it. The scripture is difficult, but it contains all the wisdom of Ksitigarbha. How can ordinary people know the wisdom of Buddha at once? You should take your time to understand and think slowly.

On the other side, the demon in the prison was also thinking, why did Zhang Miao not come to find him for so long?

The devil sprinkled the bait, and Zhang Miao, the fish, had obviously smelled the scent of the bait, but it kept trying but never took the bait. How could he endure the temptation of the three swords of Abi and not practice this great magical power?

The demon thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. If you want to practice Breaking the Illusion Sword, you have to turn into an evil ghost and often go to the Blood Sea Hell. What kind of place is the Blood Sea Hell, and how dangerous it is to turn into an evil ghost? Without the guidance of an "experienced person" like him, can that stupid monk be able to cultivate the Powang Sword?

Even if he is lucky enough to be able to cultivate a little, the erosion of evil spirits is no joke. Evil ghosts are the incarnation of all evil and the synthesis of evil thoughts. Infected by such evil thoughts, people will go crazy.

Just when the demon was thinking, Zhang Miao suddenly appeared in front of him. He saw the joy on Zhang Miao's face and immediately asked: "How about it? Are you gathering the materials for the initiation? As long as I have the materials, I can instill all my mana into your body. This can make you form hundreds of knots in an instant. A relic can even condense the heart of a Buddha. What do you think?"

He spoke to Zhang Miao enthusiastically, but Zhang Miao looked at him coldly. Suddenly, Zhang Miao slashed at him with a knife. The knife struck him instantly, splitting him in half!

With a sound of 'Ah', the demon was so frightened that he trembled all over. But he reacted the next moment. He looked around carefully and saw that Zhang Miao was nowhere to be seen. The stabbing just now was just an illusion.

But the demon began to look uncertain. He thought in his mind: "No, this is not an illusion, this is a sign! Did that person cultivate the Poliu Sword? How is this possible? This...is this because of me?"

Thinking of this, his face became even more ugly. Because he suddenly remembered the second sword of Abi's three swords - the karma-breaking sword.

The sword that cuts off karma is cause and effect. This knife is very powerful and can cut off cause and effect. In Buddhism, cause and effect is a very important theory. Everything has its effect because of a cause. Nothing in the world just appears out of nowhere. Everything must appear for a reason.

Even the Buddha was not born out of thin air. He had to be born from the Mother Buddha.

If the Buddha's mother was killed before the Buddha was born, would the Buddha still be born? According to Buddhist theory, Buddha will not be born. This means that if the cause is cut off, there will be no effect.

Cause and effect is very powerful and is the basis of Buddhist theory. The karma-breaking knife can cut off cause and effect. This demon only had a slight understanding of the karma-breaking knife, and he could feel the thread of cause and effect.

This omen was what this ability had given him.

"No, I have to find a way to save myself. I'm afraid that man has really realized something!" The demon regretted very much at this moment. Why did he seduce the monk? If he hadn't planted the cause, there wouldn't be such a thing now. Plant fruit!

Just when this demon was thinking. Zhang Miao also gained new insights here.

He read the scriptures for many days, and gained a new understanding of the Poliang Sword, and also gained a new understanding of the Duanye Sword. In the blur, he saw lines that resembled Jie Guang.

But this line is not a robbery of light, it just looks like a robbery of light. These lines seem to be 'cause and effect lines'?

Thinking of this, his heart skipped a beat. If this was a causal line, it would be extraordinary. His Buddhist cultivation level is very low, how can he come into contact with the line of cause and effect that can only be seen by eminent monks with high Buddhist theory?

The line of cause and effect is one of the foundations of Buddhism and one of the most important theories. Mastering cause and effect means mastering Buddhism’s greatest magical power. This is not the magical power of some small sect, but the magical power of the entire Buddhist sect.

Zhang Miao looked at the red threads carefully. He tried to pull the red threads, but unfortunately, he could not pull them. Although he can see it, there is nothing he can do about it at the moment.

It's like he can see the tribulation light, but cannot use it. His cultivation has not reached this level yet!

Thinking of this, Zhang Miao couldn't help but feel hot in his heart. If my cultivation level improves, will I be able to grasp this line of cause and effect?

After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Miao was amused by this childish idea again. How could this be possible? To really master cause and effect, at least he must be a Buddha. At most he can only influence cause and effect!
