cultivating immortals and planting the fields

Chapter 555
"Amitabha, the kindness of the benefactor is boundless. It is really a great merit to spend a lot of vows to save these souls who died in vain and enter reincarnation as soon as possible." Zhang Wei didn't expect that there would be someone in this mortal world who could understand that he was doing a soul rescue just now, and turned around involuntarily. look.

With a bald head and scars, yellow clothes and cassocks, the Vajra Buddha light flickers faintly behind his head, and a face of compassion is revealed on the face of this young little monk.Although this little monk looks very young, Zhang Wei couldn't help but feel a little moved when he saw the surging Buddha power all over his body. According to the current division of martial arts in the secular world, the little monk seems to have reached the peak of congenital at this time realm.

Therefore, although this young monk is young, his majesty is not weak at all, and it is obviously not a bit stronger than the two middle-aged monks behind him.And the face is merciful, and people can't help but feel respect from the heart when they see it.It seems to be a high-spirited appearance.

Although Zhang Wei was surprised, this kind of cultivation has not even reached the realm of Arhat. According to Taoism, the realm of Arhat is when the foundation is established. Therefore, although Zhang Wei was a little surprised, he was not shocked at all. That's all, and this young monk obviously practiced the Dharma, but not the Dharma. In terms of combat effectiveness, he was not even as good as the two middle-aged monks behind him.

This kind of monks are all great virtues, and Zhang Wei can't help but disrespect them. If those monks who major in Buddhism are actually butchers in cassocks, then these monks who major in Buddhism are the real great virtues. Following the precepts of Buddhism, doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, cultivating true gods with Buddhism, once the golden body is achieved, they are all people with immeasurable merit.

"Master praises you a lot. Some things can be done with a little effort." Zhang Wei turned around and hurriedly humbly said, "A kind person, this is a real kind person, and a great kind person. Look at the few pieces in the monk's hand." A magic weapon with shimmering Buddha's light, probably if you don't use it, this monk will also save these dead souls on the spot. Moving the Ksitigarbha's Sutra of Rebirth, attracting the golden light of reincarnation, but I don't know where the little benefactor's hometown is, so the little benefactor doesn't have to doubt, the old monk is almost seventy years old, but this skin is not old, but it's fine."

No wonder this young-looking young monk speaks old-fashionedly. He doesn't call himself a young monk, but an old monk. However, even Zhang Wei can't tell the age of this monk.Moreover, although the monk's cultivation base is inferior to those old men from aristocratic families, although their martial power is inferior, their Buddhist skills are not the same. And those old men have already had white hair and gray hair, and their beards are stained with frost. But this old monk is obviously good at keeping his face, even at a rare age, he still looks like a young monk in his 30s and [-]s.

Buddhism and Taoism have different paths, but in the end they are all for the position of sage, so there is Qinglian Baiou's family, Buddhism and Taoism have different paths, but in the end of cultivation, Buddhism and Taoism are in the same family, but the cultivation methods are different.

Buddhism and Taoism focus on merit, while Taoism focuses on the way of heaven and comprehend the five elements of nature.

However, no matter how you practice, the final result is that you will not have immeasurable merit. No matter how great the fighting power is with the Buddha, as long as you can't comprehend the way of heaven and attract immeasurable merits to add to your body, then you will never want to be a saint.

Buddha is to cultivate external skills, while Tao is to cultivate internal skills. External skills are merits and virtues.

And in the same way, even if Buddhism has the ability to achieve great virtue, if you don't cultivate your inner strength, you will never be able to reach the realm of a saint.And although the monk in front of Zhang Wei is a great virtue, but because of his lack of internal strength, he is at the innate peak and has not reached the state of Arhat. Reverting to the old state of this age is the so-called consummation of merit and virtue, reaching the state of Arhat.

This old monk is advancing towards the level of foundation building, while those old men from aristocratic families are always stagnating at the innate level because they suffer from no skills, plus they don't practice external skills and don't know how to practice. , Naturally know which is strong and which is weak.

"How polite is the master, boy, I don't have a fixed place, I just wander around, but I don't know that the master is not in Buddhism, what is he doing on this highway in the middle of the night?" Unless necessary, or wandering monks, under normal circumstances, Most of these monks are studying scriptures, chanting scriptures and paying homage to the Buddha. Only when they reach a certain level and feel that they need to accumulate external skills will they go out to travel.

When Zhang Wei was the God of Earth in the Heavenly Court, he also greeted many monks, and he knew a little bit about the practice of Buddhism. Moreover, Zhang Wei saw that the monks' internal and external practice were obviously unbalanced, strong on the outside and weak on the inside. What will go wrong, but if you don't achieve internal and external balance as soon as possible, you will always be stuck in the speed of cultivation.

Besides, the ultimate goal of a cultivator, whether it is a Buddha or a Dao, is for the attainment of a saint?Therefore, Zhang Wei looked at these monks and asked casually. As for his own situation, there is no need to brag about it. The next time I enter Shiwan Dashan and explore the ownerless cave, I can change the facade and use it as my own cave, and I can report it, but now, I can't.I can't say that I am a vegetable farmer who grows vegetables in Zhangwa Village.

Although there is nothing shameful about being a vegetable farmer, it depends on the time of day. Now it is not about occupation, but faction.

"Amitabha, this old monk is being rude. This old monk was originally a Shaolin Wuxiang monk. Now he is invited by the abbot of Yuntai Temple in Lingnan to go to lecture on the scriptures and the Dharma. , my Buddha is merciful, I have met a benefactor, and I am fortunate to be able to save and reincarnate as soon as possible.”

No matter what family or sect you belong to, if you want to get acquainted with someone you don't know, you must first report your family name.

As one of the most eminent monks in Shaolin, the old monk didn't know why, but he was surprised by Zhang Wei's cultivation just now, so he just forgot it for a while.

Zhang Wei has heard more than once about the martial arts sects led by the Long family, the largest of which is the eight sects, among which Shaolin and Wudang, one is the leader of Buddhism and Taoism, and the other is the master of Taoism. The sect of the great emperor has been in the past, and Shaolin is the ancestral home of the current Buddha.

The other sects introduced by those old men are also mostly related to heaven, Buddhism, and even the devil world. Although Zhang Wei is puzzled about where the Long family is, those aristocratic families didn't say much, and Zhang Wei didn't ask too much, but Unexpectedly, the first time I came into contact with Shaolin sect today, it was a well-educated eminent monk.
