Chapter 652: Shock
Bamboo fish? "
Hearing this, Ye Fan felt a little uncomfortable, but he still saluted respectfully: "Senior Zhuyu should know my purpose of coming."
"Of course I know." Bamboo Fish replied, just clasping his palms together, looking at the Buddha image in front of him, and sighed leisurely: "Life gathers and disperses like clouds, worldly affairs are like dreams, and flows are as fast as lightning."
"In the past, when we said goodbye, I thought I would never see my old friends again. Now, it's a shame to see my old friends again."
"I didn't expect to see my grandfather's former comrades here." Ye Fan replied, "Senior has converted to Buddhism. Logically speaking, I shouldn't disturb him, but now that there have been drastic changes, I have to ask for help from his predecessor."
"I have been guilty of too many sins in the past, and converting now is already an atonement for my sins." Bamboo Fish shook his head, "You can go back, I don't want to fight in the mortal world anymore."
"Senior was once a hero of the human race. He killed the monsters to protect the human race. How about sin." Ye Fan did not agree with Zhuyu's words and retorted: "If this is the case, doesn't it mean that all those generals are guilty?"
"I don't know that I am innocent." Bamboo Fish replied, "I know that what I have done has negative consequences, so my sins are serious."
"You..." One sentence made Ye Fan choke. Just as he was thinking about how to refute, suddenly, Qiongqi's voice sounded: "Boy, my Dharma is profound, I will do it."
"You're coming?" Ye Fan was stunned, and soon he remembered Qiongqi's legendary words from the original Sanjing people, "Then you're coming."
With that said, Ye Fan raised his palm, and after the tiger roared, Qiongqi appeared on the scene.
"Old man, you just said that sin is serious, where does it come from?"
"Kill." Qiongqi's appearance did not cause much reaction from Bamboo Fish.
"What is killing?" Qiongqi asked back, "Is killing a living being considered killing?"
"indeed."
"Absurd!" Qiongqi scolded immediately, and then said: "According to what you said, in the past, the Tathagata cut off meat and fed it to eagles, and exchanged his mortal body for the body of a pigeon. Isn't this not killing living things?"
"What's the explanation?" Zhuyu asked.
"The mortal body is not a living being? The Tathagata became a Buddha when he became a Buddha. But what about the mortal body that once carried him? Wasn't it killed by him? Why can he still become a Buddha?" Qiongqi opened his mouth: "As the saying goes, wine and meat pass through the intestines. , the Buddha kept in his heart that you killed the monsters for the benefit of your fellow humans. This is a good deed, not a sin, but a good result you have accumulated. "
"Huh?" Qiongqi's words made Zhuyu frown immediately.
"You can reach the Tao by keeping your mind calm. The so-called practice is not meditating all day long." Qiongqi said: "If your ordinary mind is not dead, what's the use of meditating all day long? Now that my old friend is here, it's your turn to give up." Fanxin’s best chance?”
"I have given up my ordinary mind." Bamboo Fish replied, turning around and saying, "The past has passed away, and I don't care."
"Although the things of the past have passed, the deeds of the past are not over yet." Qiongqi chased after him, "When the Arhat who subdued the Dragon abandoned his home and wife when he became a Buddha, it took a fire to end the world, but you just escaped to the other side. The island wants to end it, how is it possible?”
"The old friend's karma is very heavy, and the old friend's coming to look for you is the result of the old friend's karma. If you really want to take refuge wholeheartedly, why can't you put aside the disturbance of this karma and start practicing again."
"The Buddha is in my heart and I won't blame him for leaving for a while."
"Well..." Listening to Qiongqi's words, Zhuyu fell into deep thought this time. After a while, he said: "But I have decided not to violate the precepts. Wouldn't it be evil to start fighting again?"
"If the mind is bright and quiet, how can there be any evil and delusion?" Qiongqi asked: "There is no movement in the space. It is bright without brightness, and darkness is darkness. Light and darkness have their own good fortune. There is no movement in the space. Worry is Bodhi, and its The same is true. Although there are differences in confusion and enlightenment, the bodhicitta does not change."
"That's it." After hearing this, Zhuyu fell silent again, seeming to be thinking.
"Good guy." Not far away, Ye Fan was shocked when he saw that Qiongqi was speechless with just a few words.
It's strange that Buddhism comes out of the mouth. No wonder it can deceive a large number of believers wherever it goes.
"That's it, then this earthly karma will be over." After a while, Bamboo Fish stood up and said something, sighing leisurely: "Little friend, I wonder if my old friend has appeared again?"
"That means he never showed up." Zhuyu nodded, just took out a jade pendant and handed it to Ye Fan, "If you need help, break the jade pendant and I will come naturally."
"Thank you." Ye Fan quickly stepped forward to take the jade pendant, and Zhuyu also sat down again: "My little friend, please leave first. My heart is fluctuating and I need to meditate for a moment or two to clarify my mind."
"Okay, then I won't bother you too much." Ye Fan replied, but Qiongqi on the side watched the bamboo fish sit down and said again: "Reciting sutras with your mouth but not your heart, how can there be any merit if you make an unintentional mistake? If you practice with your mouth but not your hands, you have the intention. How can you achieve perfection if you meditate with your eyes closed and your mind as confused as numbness?"
After three questions, Bamboo Fish, who had just sat up, felt a little uncomfortable and stood up, "In this case, I will go for a walk outside."
"A Taoist is like an ox carrying a heavy load while walking in deep mud. He is too tired to look around. Once he is freed from the mud, he can rest." Qiongqi stared at the bamboo fish: "Ascetics should watch their desires more than the mud. Be straight with your heart. If you meditate on the Tao, you will avoid suffering.”
Bamboo Fish was silent for a while, and then just said: "...Little friend, please take your beast away quickly."
…
"You are really awesome." When he went out, Ye Fan rarely praised Qiongqi: "How did you learn so many Buddhist scriptures? You can recite them one by one, making others uncomfortable when hosting."
"I used to be worshipped, too. People built temples and invited me to go there. Every day, all kinds of enlightened monks chanted sutras and preached in front of me. I know a little bit about Mahayana Buddhism and Minor Enlightenment Buddhism." Qiongqi raised his head proudly, "What I said is not nonsense, it is all based on facts and makes sense."
"That really underestimated you." Ye Fan smiled, and when he saw that there were more people on the road, he was about to take back Qiongqi, but he thought of something and asked again: "You have heard so much about Buddhism, so do you think Buddha really exists?"
"I don't know either." Qiongqi answered casually: "But there have been king-level strongmen in Buddhism, those who ascended to heaven in one day and suddenly realized in one day ”
“Things that are contaminated by Buddha nature can indeed ward off evil.”
“So do you believe it or not?” Ye Fan asked, looking at Qiongqi, curled his lips and said, “After eating so many people, according to the Buddhist teachings, you have to go to the Avici Hell and suffer all kinds of punishments forever.”
“Bullshit, I only eat people for my appetite, it is an unintentional mistake, I will go to the Black Rope Hell and suffer the punishment of black iron ropes.” Qiongqi retorted, “But you, kid, were cruel and murderous during your lifetime, and after death you will go to the Maha Bodhima in the Eight Cold Hells, and your body will be folded into a white lotus.”
“You are punishing me again.” Hearing this, Ye Fan was about to slap Qiongqi, but Kong Wu suddenly walked into their sight in front of him.
He looked like he was leaving, and was obviously a little flustered.
“Master Kong Wu, why are you here?” Kong Wu suddenly appeared on the avenue outside Hongming Temple, and Ye Fan was a little puzzled.
"Ah. It's all right." Kong Wu replied, and stopped his busy body and responded with a smile: "Someone just gave alms and said he would go home to get it, but he hasn't come back for a while."
"Buddhism cannot be without faith, I'll go and see."
Kong Wu hurried forward.
"This Kong Wu is so greedy." Ye Fan was a little speechless, and said something, and casually put the jade pendant that Zhuyu had just given him into his clothes.
No matter what the result is, at least they got the help of Zhuyu.
"Now, only Sakuragi is missing." He muttered to himself, holding the jade pendant, and suddenly, Ye Fan's face changed.
"Where are the scriptures I put on my body?"
Ye Fan hurriedly patted himself. In the past, he always had the habit of putting some skills on his body, but now he was empty, with nothing.
"The talisman is gone! The wallet is gone!!"
"Sakuragi!" Subconsciously, Ye Fan thought of Sakuragi. That day, he happened to show these two skills, and suddenly thought of Kong Wu who had just appeared, and Ye Fan reacted.
"This Kongwu, he is Sakuragi!!"
"Ah??" Qiongqi also exclaimed at the side.
"Where is the tooth necklace hanging around my neck!! That is the first tooth I lost!!!"
