From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 208: Words to Test the Heart
Meng Yuan looked at the candlelight on the table and thought of his own essence.

Now, the essence of my own body is like bean sprouts, just like the tiny glimmer of light before my eyes.

Faintly, Meng Yuan seemed to sense something, which was a crucial point in his future transformation into a god and man. So he shone from the fire which was so small that it could be extinguished with a wave of the hand, and yet grew so big that its light filled the entire room.

The map of heaven given by the third young lady was for a heavenly fire that would set the whole prairie on fire, which was completely different from the fire here.

"Brother?" Jiang Tang saw Meng Yuan staring at the candlelight in a daze, his clothes were dirty and there was blood on his wounds, so he called softly.

Meng Yuan came back to his senses and saw Monk Jueming, Master Nie and Lin Yan were all staring at him, so he smiled back.

"What are your insights?" Lin Yan asked curiously.

Meng Yuan shook his head and said, "I just feel that the journey is difficult."

"The road ahead is bumpy, and only those with a firm mind can reach the other side." Monk Jueming exclaimed, "Donor Meng heard that the road ahead is difficult, but he did not feel discouraged, which shows that he has a firm mind."

"I dare not." Meng Yuan smiled and shook his head. "Master, just now I heard you say that all the secret treasures were opened. Does that mean Yang Yuping has not obtained the true secret of heaven?"

"That's right." Master Jueming nodded. "Most of the sixth-rank warriors can only touch a few hairs, which is far from being a chance to get the secret treasure."

"Now that I think about it, I was really lucky to win against Yang Yuping." Meng Yuan felt scared.

"She has mastered the Ice Soul Sealing Heart, but has not yet fully mastered the secrets." Master Jueming pointed at him, then at Meng Yuan, and said, "So, at that time, the difference between you and her was that you were less experienced in battle, less physically tough, and less able to produce the Jade Liquid in your Dantian."

"Her beauty is also slightly inferior!" Lin Yan added.

Nie Yannian frowned and glared at Lin Yan, who lowered his head and said nothing.

"Master, you have said so much, what does it have to do with Bodhi's extinction?" Meng Yuan asked curiously.

"Donor Meng has seen Donor Yang Yuping's Nine Transformations to Return to the God." Monk Jueming sighed slightly, "Speaking of which, Bodhi's Way of Extinction and Nine Transformations to Return to the God are quite similar, both of them have taken the path of paranoia."

"I'd like to hear the details." Meng Yuan said quickly.

"This is what I call the inharmonious part, the dangerous part." Monk Jueming pondered for a while, and then continued: "Most of the divine powers of heaven are activated by jade liquid, but some strange ones use blood, flesh, mind, and even life and life fire. The nine transformations to return to the spirit are to take in the opportunities of others and nourish oneself. This divine power of heaven is strange and evil. It not only needs the jade liquid to activate it, but also one's own mind."

Monk Jueming pointed at his eyes and said, "The eyes of a baby are clear, but they become more cloudy as you get older. This is the loss of truth. The Nine Transformations to Return to the Spirit is to nourish yourself with your own truth and the flesh and blood of others, and you will eventually become blind and demented."

Meng Yuan suddenly understood something.

"Bodhi's path to extinction is the result of one's own great perseverance and courage." Monk Jueming was very solemn at this moment, with a layer of dim candlelight on his old face, like the bright light of Buddha.

Jueming pointed outside and continued, "Bodhi's path to extinction does not involve cutting off one's flesh to feed an eagle, but rather practicing the path to extinction with great compassion. Therefore, once it is aroused, the whole body will be filled with blood and flesh, and one will be affected by the changes in cause and effect, and the mind will also change."

"I understand!" Lin Yan realized it immediately. "What the monk meant is that this Bodhi Extermination Technique is a killing skill, and a way to kill without blinking an eye. For example, if you kill people ruthlessly and get bloodshot, you can't stop the knife, your heart is surging, and you are easily invaded by evil things!"

"..." Monk Jueming was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "What the donor said makes sense, but it is a little biased. I, the Buddhist sect, do not have the skills to kill people, only the methods to save people."

"Haha, isn't Bodhi's Destruction a killing skill? Isn't Buddha Moving Mountains and Rivers a killing skill?" Lin Yan sneered, full of disdain.

"Donor, you have no Buddhist heart. I can't explain this to you clearly." Monk Jueming stopped pestering him and looked at Meng Yuan, saying, "Let's continue our conversation and ignore him."

This is hard to explain!

"Master, please." Meng Yuan smiled.

"So after the Bodhi Extinction Path is activated, one's heart will inevitably surge and the killing intent will be strong..." Monk Jueming realized that he had repeated Lin Yan's words, so he quickly changed his words and said, "How can a mortal body not be harmed when doing great compassion and carrying out the Extinction Path?"

Seeing Meng Yuan nodding continuously, Jueming quickly continued, "Moreover, the power of this method is related to one's own ability and one's own compassionate and universal salvation." "Don't talk nonsense!" Lin Yan couldn't bear it any longer, "My junior brother is an honest man. He doesn't even dare to speak when he sees a beautiful girl. He's still a young boy! Are you trying to seduce him into becoming a monk by saying these words? What's related to compassionate and universal salvation? Isn't it just about being determined and having an upright mind?"

Seeing that Monk Jueming remained silent, Meng Yuan asked, "Master, is this true?"

"..." Monk Jueming chanted a Buddhist name in a low voice, skipped it, and said: "In short, every time you use this method, dust will form in your heart."

He nodded his head, "As time goes by, the desire to kill becomes stronger and stronger."

"Is this the Tianji method passed down by the martial monks of the Jianxiu sect?" Meng Yuan asked with a smile.

"Gradual cultivation and sudden enlightenment are originally the same lineage." Monk Jueming did not take it seriously. "I know that the donor wants to say that there is no Bodhi tree, and the bright mirror is not a stand. But in the martial arts, the body is the Bodhi tree, and the mind is like a bright mirror stand."

"Is there any way to wipe it from time to time to avoid dust?" Jiang Tang asked curiously.

"This isn't some evil method of returning to the gods, so it certainly exists." Monk Jueming respected Jiang Tang very much and said, "If your mind is as firm as fire, distracting thoughts will burn away your karma."

"The monk is so confused, so boring." Lin Yan said with a smile.

Monk Jueming did not refute, but looked at Meng Yuan and said, "The donor has encountered many powerful enemies today, so naturally he has the heart to destroy all Dharmas. It is normal to ask Bodhi to destroy the Dao."

"Master, I have three more questions. Please answer." Meng Yuan said with a smile.

"How many people has Mr. Meng killed?" asked Monk Jueming.

"Go outside." Seeing Jiang Tang coming to watch out of curiosity, Meng Yuan was about to chase him away.

"It's okay." Monk Jueming didn't let Jiang Tang leave.

"No matter how many people you kill, you are still my husband. Why shouldn't I listen to you?" Jiang Tang didn't plan to leave either.

Meng Yuan glared at Jiang Tang, then he honestly recalled and said, "I can't remember clearly."

"You did a lot of things behind my back, didn't you?" Nie Yannian grabbed the back of Lin Yan's neck. "You only know how to provoke female demons, but he is good at provoking fierce men. You should protect him more in the future!"

"Don't worry!" Lin Yan said seriously, "I'll introduce him to a tough guy as his lover!"

"..." Jiang Tang and Jueming looked at each other, and neither of them knew what to say.

Xuan Bei simply closed his eyes and chanted Amitabha.

"Second question," Monk Jueming sighed helplessly, "If the donor uses this Bodhi to kill people in the future, can you guarantee that the people you kill are all bad people?"

"I am a captain of the Demon Suppression Department. My job is to exorcise demons and eliminate evil. I will only kill the evil ones." Meng Yuan was upright.

"What are your ambitions, donor?" Monk Jueming asked again.

"I don't have any big ambitions. I just hope my family can live a safe and happy life." Meng Yuan said.

"I see." Monk Jueming took out a yellowed old paper from his bosom. "Burn it after reading it, and do not pass it on to others. I hope that when you use this method to save others in the future, you will write to Lanruo Temple and tell them the names of the people you killed and their evil deeds."

"Is the Dharma going to be passed on now?" Meng Yuan had originally given up hope on Bodhi's destruction of the Dao.

"The monk didn't persuade him to shave his head?" Lin Yan was also surprised.

"If you keep your mind upright, you are a Buddha. Why do you need to be guided into the door? Besides, the Dharma is not easily passed on. But if there is the right Dharma, if there are right people, and if there is a predestined relationship, then you can preach it." Monk Jueming smiled.
