The ancestor of all monsters in Shushan

Zen Master Baimei told Li Ning: "This Princess Honghua has committed many sins and is almost beyond redemption. Especially this Blood Nerve is of great importance. All the evil people in the world are eager to get it. You need to make a great wish and save her with great compassion and wisdom.

After I take leave and pass away, you need to take it with you to the Ten Thousand Mountains in southern Xinjiang, and find a place to practice in seclusion. Don't use any magic or supernatural powers. If you do, you will surely be discovered and found by others. You will just be an ordinary monk, and you must go through any difficulties and hardships as they come.

She needs to cut off external ties, not contact anyone, and only chant the name of Buddha with one heart. When the Dharma ends in the future, the magical powers of this magic scripture and the witch gradually disappear. Only then can she be converted by you and convert to Buddhism. You can send her to reincarnate and then come to the West."

Li Ning can only achieve upper-grade lower rebirth now. After doing all this, he can achieve upper-grade middle rebirth and fly to the Pure Land. The merit and status will be different. Although he has wasted an extra sixty years in this world, he can save several great calamities in the Pure Land and directly cultivate to the Bodhisattva status.

Li Ning took the relic with both hands and said, "Disciple will definitely follow it, there will be no mistakes."

Zen Master Baimei took the second relic and said, "This one is related to the Yin-Yang Sect leader Situ Lei. In the next sixty years, you cannot see anyone except him. If he wants to learn Buddhism from you, you can accept him as your disciple, but you cannot agree to it the first two times. Only the third time, which is thirty years later, can you take him to practice asceticism in the mountains. This relic is his only hope to survive the last disaster."

Li Ning took the second one and asked, "Where is the Yin Yang Master now?"

Zen Master Baimei said, "Don't worry about where he is. Even if he comes to find you, you can't see him for the first thirty years, otherwise he will find a way to mate with the Red Flower Witch. By then, unless the Buddha comes in person, no one in the world can control him! If... I mean, if you feel that you can't suppress the witch, find a way to contact your daughter Yingqiong and ask her to find Yuanyang Zhenren and give him the two relics, saying that they have no affinity with Buddhism and need to ask the Taoists to take them in and convert them."

Li Ning bowed again: "Disciple will definitely complete it perfectly according to Master's instructions."

Zen Master Baimei was still a little worried, but the only person he could count on now was Li Ning.

Li Ning's magical powers are not as good as Zhu Youmu's, but his character is much better than his. In Buddhist practice, character is more important than magical powers.

If these two things fell into Zhu Youmu's hands, they would be the seeds of a huge disaster.

He said to Li Ning: "You must leave now! Go to the Shiwandashan Mountains immediately and hide from us from now on. Don't let anyone find you again."

Li Ning was very reluctant to leave: "Disciple begs me to see Master off to the afterlife before I leave."

"No! If you don't leave now, you may not be able to leave! Go quickly! Go quickly!" Zen Master Baimei could already sense that Zhu Youmu was dissatisfied. If Li Ning left after he passed away, Zhu Youmu would probably take the two relics away by force.

Li Ning had no choice but to kowtow to Zen Master Baimei a few more times. When he stood up again, his eyes were already filled with tears.

"Fool! Foolish boy!" Zen Master Baimei told him to leave quickly, and chanted, "The Buddha told Subhuti, 'Bodhisattvas should subdue their minds in this way... and extinguish countless and boundless living beings in this way, but in fact no living being is extinguished. Why is that... If a bodhisattva has the self-image, the person-image, the living being-image, and the life-span-image, then he is not a bodhisattva...'"

He read a passage from the Diamond Sutra to Li Ning for the last time and watched Li Ning leave.

Li Ning took a step into the air and flew down the cliff. When he reached a distance, he looked back and bowed to his mentor again and again before shedding tears and walking away, disappearing in an instant.

Zhu Youmu was indeed dissatisfied in his heart, and then, Zen Master Baimei did something that made him even more dissatisfied.

The big monk waved his hand to call Shisheng.

"Me?" Shi Sheng was stunned for a moment and flew over to meet him.

Zen Master Baimei took out his huge purple gold bowl and told Shi Sheng, "A part of the incarnation of Xin Shuangchen, the leader of the Tianyin Sect, is sealed inside. I cannot destroy him or convert him, so I have to ask you to hand him over to Master Yuanyang Zhenren to deal with him. This is also a cause and effect between our two families."

Princess Red Flower and the evil book "Blood Nerve" were passed from Shi Feiyang to Buddhism, and Buddhism accepted them. However, the leader of Tianyin Sect and his men could not control them, so they passed them back to Shi Feiyang.

It can also be regarded as a cooperation between Buddhism and Taoism to jointly eliminate future disasters.

Shisheng took the big bowl and held it in his arms. He looked inside and saw a dark cloud slowly surging at the bottom of the bowl. He couldn't understand what was going on.

Zen Master Baimei said to Chen Yan again, "I am sorry that you have been wronged this time. Our venerable Master Jile Zhenren and I are old friends. Alas, your memory of your previous life has been restored by this inferior disciple, so your reincarnation in this life is in vain. If you want to reincarnate again, it will be too late. You will surely suffer a catastrophe from which there will be no recovery. You can follow Shisheng to find his master and become his disciple, only then will you be safe. This bowl of mine comes from the West, and it is also a very good treasure, so I will give it to you as a small compensation. You should leave now and go to find Zhenren Yuanyang immediately. Don't pay attention to anyone you meet on the way, and you must keep going until you see Zhenren Yuanyang."

Then Zen Master Baimei urged them to hurry up and go to the South China Sea to find Shi Feiyang as quickly as possible, and not to stop at any time along the way.

No matter what, Chen Yan still had some respect for the great monk, so he agreed. Shi Sheng had come here to save him, and now that he had the person, he took the bowl and left with him.

After the two of them left, Master Baimei looked at Zhu Youmu, and Zhu Youmu felt even more dissatisfied and resentful! Successor, successor!
This sentence originally came from Buddhism. Back then, the Fifth Patriarch Hongren chose the Sixth Patriarch Huineng as his disciple because of a verse "There is no Bodhi tree, and the bright mirror is not a stand". He called him over in the middle of the night, taught him Buddhism, and finally asked him to take his robe and bowl and leave for the south overnight to avoid being caught by Shenxiu's people...

Whether or not one brings the robe and bowl is another matter, but this thing represents the inheritance of the Taoist tradition.

When Zen Master Baimei passed away to the Pure Land, his legacy should naturally be inherited by his eldest disciple Zhu Youmu.

However, he gave the bowl directly to an outsider. If the leader of the Tianyu Sect and the White-eyebrow Zen Master were inside, they should be left to him to deal with. Even his junior brother Li Ning had an important task, so couldn't he share any of the responsibility?
Even if he wanted to send the leader of the Tianyin Sect to the South China Sea, he would have to retrieve the bowl himself in the future, but now it was specifically given to Chen Yan!

Zhu Youmu now has the urge to catch up with Chen Yan and snatch the bowl back!
All his thoughts were seen by Zen Master Baimei.

Zen Master Baimei suddenly cried...tears flowed directly from his eyes.

This frightened Atong and Zhu Youmu as well.

They have practiced for many lifetimes and have thousands of years of memory, but they have never seen their master cry.

The Master's realm has far surpassed such mundane realms as "not being happy with things, not being sad with oneself" and "not being surprised by praise or criticism". He has already attained the state of non-birth, broken the view of body and the view of self... he has seen through life and death, and cut off the cycle of reincarnation. Is there anything in this world worth his tears?
"Master..." Atong knelt in front of his master. Seeing his master crying, he wanted to cry too.

Zen Master Baimei gently stroked Atong's head to comfort him, and said to Zhu Youmu: "If you know why I am crying, there is still hope. If you don't know, then there is really no cure..."

His eldest disciple was killed by evil demons and tortured to death in his past life. After reincarnation, he developed a strong murderous mind. He relied on magic to kill outsiders. He and Jiang Xuejun had similar temperaments. Over the past few hundred years, the two of them killed many unorthodox people...

He killed more and more people, but instead of venting his resentment from the past, his murderous intent became stronger and stronger.

This is the result of the past cause today, the result of today will be the cause of the future, cause and effect are one, the cycle repeats, and there is no end...

Zen Master Baimei thought of many ways and taught patiently for more than a thousand years. During this period, Zhu Youmu was reincarnated many times. At the end of each life, he would wake up, confess to himself, make a firm resolution, and vow never to commit the same sin again. After reincarnation, he would continue to kill people indiscriminately.

The heavier the killing karma, the stronger the karma, which pushes him and affects him forcefully. Now that it has accumulated to a certain extent, he can no longer reverse it at all.

If there had not been various mishaps, Master Baimei would have been able to ascend to heaven decades ago, and Zhu Youmu would have almost resolved his murderous intent with Buddhism by then...

However, everything changed because of the variable Shi Feiyang. Shi Feiyang was an alien and was naturally within Zhu Youmu's hunting range. He wanted to seize various treasures, practice magic, and make enemies with Buddhism, Emei, etc.... For various reasons combined, Zhu Youmu took the initiative to provoke Shi Feiyang, which led to the accumulation of killing karma, resentment, etc., and finally it was out of control!
Zen Master Baimei had no choice. It was not that he ignored Zhu Youmu, he had been caring for him for more than a thousand years.

After all, cultivation is one's own business. No matter how powerful the master is, he is only an external factor.

Even if Sakyamuni came, he could only tell Zhu Youmu what is right and what is wrong, which way to go to the Western Paradise and which way to go to the six realms of fire.

Which path to choose and how to walk it all depends on yourself. Even if you have the power of Buddha, you cannot force others to walk along it!
Zen Master Baimei saw the resentment in Zhu Youmu's heart, and finally made a final effort: "You think I gave those two relics to your junior brother and didn't give them to you because I looked down on you? The causal line involved in that witch is very heavy! If you get it... forget it, it's better not to say it."

Some things cannot be said too clearly. If he told Zhu Youmu that if I put the relic in your hands, you will eventually be seduced by the witch, become united with her, and sink completely.

After hearing this, Zhu Youmu became even more furious. He was determined to search every mountain and sea for the relic and hold it in his own hands to prove to his master that he could convert the witch!

He told Li Ning not to meet anyone, and the main person he had to guard against was Zhu Youmu.

The same goes for the lewd leader that day, whose harm was no less than that of the Red Flower Witch.

Finally, he said to Zhu Youmu earnestly, "Robe and bowl, my robe and bowl should have been passed on to you, but you caused Chen Yan to practice hard for a lifetime. I gave him the bowl as compensation to end this karma. The bowl is not worth much to him, so I will give you my last robe!"

He took out the brocade cassock that he had worn when he practiced Buddhism in the past and gave it to Zhu Youmu.

Zhu Youmu knelt down to take it, and suddenly remembered that his master did not value material things, but he also had a few treasures with him. (End of this chapter)
