Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 553: Heart Sutra of Prajnaparamita
At this time, Master Jingchen had just opened her eyes and sat up.

Chen Yun was just about to step forward and ask about the other party's condition.

Suddenly, there came a burst of fresh fragrance that penetrated into the lungs.

Niu Dali was delighted and said, "Oh, the Nine-Death Resurrection Grass is ripe!"

"Nine-Lives Resurrection Grass?" Master Jingchen tilted her head and looked at the spiritual root with a hint of surprise, "How could there be such a treasure here?"

Chen Yun ignored what Master Jingchen said, and said to Niu Dali, "Brother Niu, please help me pick these three plants of Nine-Death Resurrection Grass."

Niu Dali said excitedly: "Okay."

After saying that, he walked to the Nine Lives Herb and picked it carefully.

Chen Yun stared at Master Jingchen. Although he had just rescued the other person, incidents like the farmer and the snake happened frequently in the cultivation world, especially in the Sun Moon Lake, which was not under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court. Who knew if Master Jingchen would do something out of greed for money?

As a relatively cautious person, Chen Yun naturally could not pick the Nine Lives Resurrection Grass by himself. His task was to look after Master Jingchen.

Fortunately, although Master Jingchen seemed very surprised, she sat there quietly without making any move.

This made Chen Yun breathe a sigh of relief. He had just helped Master Jingchen to dissolve the black energy of the Chaos Demon God, which consumed a lot of his own spiritual power. If the other party attacked at this time, he might not be able to fight back except by using his divine power.

Soon, Niu Dali picked three plants of Nine-Lives Resurrection Grass and came over.

He handed two plants of the Nine-Death Resurrection Grass to Chen Yun, and took only one for himself. "Master Chen, take it."

Chen Yun frowned and said, "Brother Niu, you and I said before that we would share the treasure equally. I can't take two plants of the Nine Dead Resurrection Grass."

Niu Dali said seriously, "If it weren't for you, Master Chen, who repelled Long Zhantian, we wouldn't have been able to obtain a treasure like the Nine Lives Resurrection Grass. To be honest, I was able to get one plant thanks to you. If there were four plants here and you were willing to give me half each, I would naturally be happy to take advantage. But now there are only three plants. Master Chen, you have made great contributions, so you should take one more plant."

Seeing that Niu Dali was serious about what he said, Chen Yun did not refuse anymore. He took the two stalks of the Resurrection Grass and said, "Okay, thank you, Brother Niu."

Niu Dali said with a smile: "I should be the one thanking you."

In just a few words, the two of them had already distributed the Nine Lives Resurrection Grass.

Although Master Jingchen was sitting there without moving, her eyes were fixed on the two plants of Nine-Lives-Resurrection Grass in Chen Yun's hand without blinking.

Chen Yun naturally noticed this scene.

He understood Master Jingchen's actions. After all, the Nine Lives Resurrection Grass was so precious. Who wouldn't want something that could save lives?
However, Chen Yun would definitely not give this treasure to others. He pretended not to see it and directly put the two plants of Nine Lives Resurrection Grass into the Hu Tianshu space.

As a result, he pretended not to see it, but Nun Jingchen took the initiative to ask: "Fellow Daoist Chen, you have two plants of Nine-Death Resurrection Grass. Can I use my treasure to exchange one of them with you?"

If it were something else, Chen Yun would probably discuss it with the other party.

The Nine-Lives Resurrection Grass was too precious, so he refused without hesitation: "Master Jingchen, I'm really sorry, I need the Nine-Lives Resurrection Grass to make pills, so I can't give you one."

"Okay." Master Jingchen was a little disappointed. She took the initiative to change the subject and said, "Thank you, Daoist Brother Chen, for using your great magic to save me these past few days. I am not an ungrateful person. I have some good spiritual roots, natural treasures, and magical instruments here. Master Chen, please take a look at which ones you like. I will give them to Daoist Brother to thank you for saving my life."

As she spoke, she looked at Niu Dali, "Mr. Niu, I heard from Master Chen that it was you who saved me. You can choose one later."

Niu Dali did not respond immediately, but looked to the side.

Chen Yun knew that Master Jingchen would express her gratitude, but he did not expect her to be so straightforward.

He definitely wanted to get something from the other party, but it was not spiritual roots, natural treasures or magical weapons, but a method to suppress the demons in his heart.

Thinking of this, Chen Yun nodded to Niu Dali.

Niu Dali understood and laughed loudly, "Master, you are so open-minded. I will be disrespectful to refuse your kindness later."

Chen Yun followed closely and said, "Master Jingchen, I don't want the things anymore. Otherwise, I can ask you for a method. Is that okay?"

Nun Jingchen slowly stood up from the ground and said in surprise, "Daoyou, the spiritual roots and treasures I have are all good things. Do you really not want any of them?"

Chen Yun spoke truthfully: "I have some problems with my cultivation, so I want to ask Master for a secret method to suppress my inner demons. Other things are good, but they are not as important as my own cultivation."

Nun Jingchen seemed to be thinking about something. She smiled and nodded, saying, "I understand what Fellow Daoist Chen means. Okay, then I will pick things for Mr. Niu first, and then I will talk to you about the inner demons. There are many kinds of inner demons. Master Chen, you need a secret method to suppress them, and I will also give you drugs."

Chen Yun understood this and said, "Okay."

He was actually quite curious about what Master Jingchen would give out to thank Niu Dali for saving his life.

Master Jingchen looked like a straightforward nun. She was very straightforward and she moved her fingers lightly, and a purple gold bowl appeared in her palm.

She just threw the purple gold bowl, and the bowl-sized bowl instantly turned into the size of a washbasin.

Chen Yun looked into the purple gold bowl and saw many spiritual roots of heaven and earth, natural treasures and magical instruments hidden inside.

There were a lot of things inside, but his attention was immediately attracted by one of the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, and he had no mood to pay attention to the others at all.

Because this spiritual root of heaven and earth is exactly the most precious Forget-Sorrow-Extinguishing Soul-Extinguishing Grass that is missing in the God-Transforming Soup!

Chen Yun held his breath for a moment, his heart pounding.

He even felt a little regretful that he shouldn't have rejected Master Jingchen's compensation.

But he changed his mind and realized that no matter how good the Forget-Me-Not Herb or the Spirit-Transforming Soup was, if he couldn't solve the problem of his inner demons, everything would be in vain.

Thinking of this, Chen Yun became a little calmer and less regretful.

However, he still wanted to get this Forget-Me-Not Soul-Destroying Grass very much, and was thinking about whether he should give Niu Dali a wink and ask him to help him get it, and then exchange it for the treasure later.

Before he could even exchange a glance, Nun Jingchen pointed at the Forget-Sorrow-Destroying Soul Grass and one of the magic instruments and said, "Mr. Niu, apart from the Forget-Sorrow-Destroying Soul Grass and the Dharma Drum, you can pick any of the other items. I'm going to use the Forget-Sorrow-Destroying Soul Grass to reach the Earthly Immortal Realm, and the Dharma Drum was left by my teacher when he was alive. I can't give it away because it reminds me of him."

Hearing this, Chen Yun was extremely disappointed. It turned out that Master Jingchen didn't want to give the Forget-Me-Not Soul-Extinguishing Grass to anyone else at all.

Niu Dali was originally staring at the Forget-Me-Not Soul-Destroying Grass. He had long known that Chen Yun needed this item. Now that he heard what Master Jingchen said, he couldn't stare at it anymore, so he had to say, "Good, I'll take a look."

Master Jingchen apologized, "I'm so sorry."

Niu Dali smiled and said, "You are welcome, Master."

He stared at it carefully for a while, and finally locked his eyes on a golden spiritual fruit that looked a bit like a sweet potato. "Master, can Lao Niu take this golden pure yang fruit?"

Nun Jingchen smiled and said, "The Golden Pure Yang Fruit can indeed increase the chances of success in reaching the Earthly Immortal Realm for those who practice Taoism. However, my Buddhist practice method is very different from Taoism, so I don't need this thing. Mr. Niu, you can take it."

Niu Dali thanked him.

Afterwards, Master Jingchen took out the golden pure yang fruit from the purple gold bowl and handed it to Niu Dali. After selecting the things, Master Jingchen put away the purple gold bowl and pointed at the stone next to it and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, let's sit down and talk about the inner demon slowly?"

Chen Yun said: "Good, thank you for your help, Master."

As they spoke, the three of them sat down on the rocks.

Nun Jingchen looked over at me seriously. "Tell me about your inner demon condition. I'll analyze what kind of inner demon it is and see if there's any solution."

Chen Yun recounted the story in detail: "In my early years, before I became an immortal, I once had a fight with a Yinshan Sect disciple named Xie Wuming in front of a battle array. Afterwards, relying on my higher cultivation level, I sent him into the reincarnation cycle. However, who would have thought that the Yinshan Sect did not abide by the rules, and the eldest senior brother Yin Wuji came to me and wanted to seek revenge. At that time, my cultivation level was lower than his, but in the end, I relied on the manifestation of Dao Qi to luckily beat him to death. I originally thought that the matter had come to an end..."

Master Jingchen was listening very carefully.

Niu Dali also pricked up his ears and listened.

Chen Yun knew that this kind of thing must be explained in detail so that others can prescribe the right medicine for you. Otherwise, others don’t even know why you have this inner demon, so how can they come up with a solution?
He went on, “Xie Wuming is the eldest son of Yinshan Sect’s leader Xie Wuyang. He was once engaged to Shen Xiu, the adopted daughter of Xingxiu Sea Taoist Gou Teng. After I killed Xie Wuming, Shen Xiu learned about it and came to me for revenge. After experiencing a life-and-death crisis, I finally achieved great success in cultivation and wiped out the entire Yinshan Sect and Xingxiu Sea Sect. As a result, I became enemies with Xie Wuyang and Taoist Gou Teng, which led to them coming to me for revenge after I became an immortal. Since then, I have had a problem in my heart, always thinking about killing the two to eliminate future troubles. Xie Wuyang has been killed by me now, but Taoist Gou Teng’s cultivation is too high. He is in the middle stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm and he also possesses an extremely powerful magic weapon. I can’t do anything to him for a while, so my Tao heart is severely damaged and I have been unable to condense my Yuanshen form.”

Nun Jingchen was somewhat puzzled and asked, "When you saved me earlier, I saw that you had already condensed into a spirit form, didn't you?"

Chen Yun nodded and said, "Yes, but I didn't use normal means to refine the form of the primordial spirit. Instead, I absorbed the power of the primordial spirit from the residual soul of an ancient cultivator and forcibly refined the form of the primordial spirit. Because my realm is beyond the scope of my Tao heart, I have often felt moody recently and I can't control it at all. Sometimes I even have the idea of ​​killing people and robbing them."

Niu Dali had sensed it before and had stepped forward to warn him. Now, after hearing Chen Yun telling the truth, he nodded slightly, indicating that what Chen Yun said was true.

After listening to this, Master Jingchen asked, "Do you feel that the killing intent is very strong?"

Chen Yun recalled, "Not only is there a strong desire to kill, but there also seems to be a lot of distracting thoughts in his mind."

Master Jingchen fell silent, frowning as she thought.

Chen Yun did not urge the other party, but just sat there and waited quietly.

About half a cup of tea later, Master Jingchen seemed to have thought of something and said slowly, "If I am not wrong, Fellow Daoist Chen, you must have fallen into the sword demon."

Niu Dali asked with a little curiosity: "What is the Sword Demon?"

Nun Jingchen smiled and said, "Mr. Niu, you are not a disciple of the true sect of Xuanmen, so it is normal that you don't know about the Sword Demon. This Sword Demon is extraordinary. There are soldiers and horses gathered together, and the weapons are as sharp as frost. Spears are raised, bows and arrows are all drawn, rushing to kill. It is so fast that it is unstoppable. If you see it, don't recognize it. This is the Sword Demon."

Chen Yun naturally knew about the sword and weapon demon, but he was in the game and could not realize it on his own.

After hearing what Master Jingchen said, Chen Yun suddenly realized that he had that kind of mentality.

Niu Dali suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. There was a time when Old Niu was also very aggressive and wanted to kill others, but later on, I don't know how he got through it."

"I think you have a relatively pure mind." Master Jingchen said, and then she turned her head to look at Chen Yun and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, from what you just said, it seems that you have just been possessed by the devil for a short time, and it is not yet time for you to start a big fight. In this case, it should be relatively easy to suppress the devil in your heart."

Chen Yun didn't expect that Master Jingchen really had a way to treat him, and he was overjoyed and asked, "Master, may I ask how to treat him?"

Nun Jingchen said, "There is a sutra called the Heart Sutra of Prajnaparamita in Buddhism. It was brought back by Xuanzang from the Buddha. If you recite this sutra with your soul, it is enough to suppress the sword demon who is not deeply possessed. Of course, there are some secret methods in it, which I need to tell you personally. Mr. Niu, can you please go somewhere else for a while?"

Generally, the Dharma is not passed on to six ears. Since Master Jingchen has made this request, Niu Dali certainly cannot refuse.

He stood up and said, "Good."

After saying that, Niu Dali turned and left.

At this time, Master Jingchen looked at Chen Yun and said, "Fellow Daoist Chen, please recite the Heart Sutra with me first. Once you have memorized it, I will teach you how to use the secret method."

Chen Yun quickly stood up and saluted, saying, "Thank you, Master."

Nun Jingchen smiled and said, "You saved my life, so why are you thanking me so much when I teach you a method to suppress your inner demons?"

Chen Yun simply stopped being polite and said, "Please give me some advice, Master."

Master Jingchen recited slowly: "When Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva practiced the profound Prajnaparamita, he saw that the five aggregates were empty and transcended all suffering. Shariputra, color is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from color, color is emptiness, emptiness is color, and the same is true for feeling, thought, action, and consciousness. Shariputra, all dharmas are empty in nature, neither born nor destroyed..."

Chen Yun listened very carefully and memorized the contents of the Heart Sutra firmly.

The Heart Sutra is not very long to begin with, and soon, Master Jingchen reached the end, "… and then recited the mantra: Gate Gate Paragate Parasamgate Bodhi Svaha."

After reciting a section of the Heart Sutra, Master Jingchen asked, "Fellow Daoist Chen, have you memorized it?"

Chen Yun said: "I have memorized it."

Nun Jingchen shook her head, implying something else. "You still haven't memorized it. I'll read it again."

Uh, I really remember it.

Chen Yun was a little confused by Master Jingchen's actions.

Just as he was wondering, Master Jingchen began to repeat the content of the Heart Sutra.

This time, for some reason, as Chen Yun listened, he became dazed and seemed about to fall into a confused state. Although he forced himself to be alert, he still missed a lot of the Heart Sutra content.

After a while, Master Jingchen asked again, "Fellow Daoist Chen, how much do you remember this time?"

Chen Yun tried hard to recall and told the truth: "Eighty percent."

Nun Jingchen showed a surprised look, but she remained calm, "Eighty percent is too much, I'll read it again."

This time Chen Yun finally figured it out. The other party was using this method to practice Dafa to suppress his inner demons!

Sure enough, Master Jingchen recited the Heart Sutra for the third time.

This time, she seemed to have stepped up her efforts.

Chen Yun became even more dazed after listening to this, as if he might enter a state of emptiness at any time.

Although he tried hard to shake it off, he still looked half asleep.

After a while, Master Jingchen was sweating profusely, "Brother Chen, how much do you remember?"

Chen Yun said honestly: "Fifty percent."

Nun Jingchen smiled bitterly, "Brother Chen, your heart is sincere... sincere... well, let me rest for a while, I will recite the Heart Sutra to you later. As long as you can remember less than 30% of it, then the Sword Demon will not have to worry for the time being. I will teach you the secret method later. If you focus on cultivating your mind and character every day, there should be no problem!"

what?
Is it that simple?

Can you suppress your inner demons so quickly?
Chen Yun felt secretly happy in his heart. His previous decision to save Master Jingchen was worth it. The other party really had a way to help him suppress his inner demons. This time the decision was absolutely right!
