Chapter 209: Enlightenment of the Heart and Buddha

Gu Xia recalled the contents of Zhenkong Baojuan.

That book recorded the autobiography of Master Kongwu in the form of a travelogue.

It mainly described one thing that Master Kongwu had been doing for most of his life - looking for Buddha.

In order to find the legendary Buddha, Master Kongwu traveled all over the mountains and rivers of Dagan, but still could not find him.

Finally, Master Kongwu embarked on the journey to the west, heading to Dalan, the country of the legendary origin of Buddha.

…

Gu Xia was thinking, in the mirror flowers and water moons in front of him, after eating eighteen bowls of wine, a fat chicken, a fat duck, three pounds of beef, four bowls of rice and more than a dozen dishes of side dishes, Master Kongwu got up and continued to move forward.

In this way, the traveler measured the land of Dagan with his feet, stepped on mountains and seas, and walked through all parts of the world.

On the way, Master Kongwu encountered various things and faced all kinds of life.

The traveler helped people in trouble and killed bad people. He never persuaded ordinary people to believe in Buddhism, nor did he say anything about putting down the butcher knife and becoming a Buddha on the spot.

Compared with a monk, he seemed more like a hero.

Finally one day, Master Kongwu visited every Buddhist holy place in Dagan.

He came into contact with various Buddha relics, but he was still dissatisfied.

Even Gu Xia saw the Buddhist scroll in the hands of Monk Huiming, which also appeared in Master Kongwu's memory.

"These are not the Buddhas I am looking for. They are just some powerful beings."

So one morning, Master Kongwu carried a stick and walked alone to the border. He decided to visit Dalan, the legendary hometown of Buddha.

Dagan is 100,000 miles away from Dalan. The whole road is a wild land with demons rampant. Even a congenital master may not be sure that he can come back intact.

But Master Kongwu, an "ordinary person" who has not practiced any mysterious skills or mental methods, embarked on the journey casually.

Sure enough, there were many dangers on the way to the west.

Gu Xia saw that Master Kongwu was bewitched by foxes and ghosts, besieged by demons, and murdered by small countries along the way. Such experiences are countless.

But Master Kongwu was determined and righteous, and with a loud shout, he could kill foxes and ghosts.

Moreover, he was extremely powerful, and with a swing of his stick, all the demons were beaten to pieces, their heads shattered, their stomachs ruptured and their intestines spilled.

If someone plotted against him, Master Kongwu would rush to the door like a king of wrath, kill all the plotters, explain the reason to everyone, and then leave in style.

Gu Xia was more and more frightened.

"Master Kongwu is actually a mortal!"

"Master Kongwu is actually a mortal?"

In Master Kongwu's memory, he had never practiced Xuanwu, he was just a mortal.

But Master Kongwu's power was so terrifying that it was unbelievable.

On the way to the west.

Once, a demon country gathered tens of thousands of demons to attack Master Kongwu, but with a swing of his stick, the mountains where the demons were entrenched were actually split open.

Thousands of demons on the mountain died in an instant, and they all turned into meat paste.

Later, Master Kongwu fought with a group of demons on the mountain for three days. When he was thirsty, he drank the blood of the demons. When he was hungry, he ate the flesh of the demons. He slaughtered a demon country by himself.

The most terrifying thing is that the demon king of the demon country is a giant lion demon like a mountain. The head of the real body is as big as a hundred feet.

The body is so huge that you can't see the end.

It is several times bigger than the fox demon body of Yu Liyan in his previous life.

But such a demon king can only be beaten in front of Master Kongwu.

For this kind of strength, Gu Xia can only think of the legendary Xuanwu's highest realm of physical sainthood.

But Master Kongwu is just a mortal. How can he have the strength to match the saint?

The walker in the mirror flower water moon is still moving forward.

After countless years, Master Kongwu finally came to Dalan, the origin of Buddha.

The walker's journey reached the end, and Gu Xia also had a premonition that Master Kongwu's memory was about to end.

But Gu Xia still didn't understand why the way of heaven would let him see Master Kongwu's journey.

"Over this mountain, it is the current Buddha's temple, the Great Electronic Music Temple!"

In the mirror flower water moon, Master Kongwu came to a hillside, his face was full of joy.

Gu Xia knew that according to the records in the book, Master Kongwu saw the current Buddha and got the Zen saying of Buddhist idealism.

He thought to himself: "I want to see if the current Buddha really has a beehive head like the statue."

Gu Xia's perspective followed Master Kongwu to the top of the mountain and looked down.

"This is it!"

Gu Xia couldn't help but open his eyes wide, only to see that the other side of the mountain had long been desolate, and many places were still filled with evil spirits.

The legendary Pure Land of Bliss, the current Buddha's temple, no longer exists, or perhaps, it didn't exist from the beginning.

"Hahaha!!!"

Kongwu, who had been looking for Buddha for most of his life, saw the scene in front of him, not only was he not disappointed, but he laughed with relief.

Then, Master Kongwu sat cross-legged on the top of the mountain and meditated.

Gu Xia looked at the tall figure of the walker and wondered: "What is he laughing at?"

Suddenly, the shadow of Master Kong Wu replied: "My friend, of course I am laughing because I am happy."

Gu Xia was shocked: "Master, can you hear me?"

Kong Wu: "Of course."

Gu Xia: "But you are just an illusion!"

Kong Wu: "So what?"

Gu Xia was stunned. Indeed, there are all kinds of magical powers in this world, and it is possible for illusions to talk.

Kong Wu said again: "My friend, please chat with me. I have been dead for so long, and I don't have many opportunities to talk.

Haha, don't worry, chatting with me will be of great benefit to your practice."

Gu Xia immediately became interested: "Then Master, can you teach me your unparalleled magical powers?"

Kong Wu: "I do have this intention, but unfortunately it is not possible. I am just an ordinary person, I have not learned any skills, how can I teach you?"

Gu Xia is curious: "Are you really just an ordinary person? Then why can you easily kill the peerless demon king?"

Kong Wu: "Because I am a congenital spiritual fetus, I am born with divine power, understand all methods, and have supernatural powers."

Although Gu Xia does not know what a congenital spiritual fetus is, the meaning is very clear, all the abilities of the Zen master are innate.

This kind of talent is more terrifying than any peerless genius that appears once in a thousand years.

Kong Wu said again: "But I can tell you why I am laughing on the top of the mountain?"

"Why is that?"

Kong Wu: "Because I found that I could not find the Buddha in my heart even if I searched the world."

Gu Xia: "Then shouldn't you be disappointed?"

Kong Wu: "Why should I be disappointed? The Buddha in my heart does not exist in the world, so I just need to become this Buddha myself.

My friend, this is why I am happy.

There is actually no Buddha in the world. People do not need statues in temples, nor do they need to be ordained and abide by the rules and regulations set by others.

Instead, you should let your heart become your own Buddha. If you have any doubts, go to worship the Buddha in your heart.

He will tell you the answer."

"Why is Master Kong Wu also a riddle man?"

Gu Xia was more confused after hearing this.

At this time, Kong Wu said: "My friend! Remember that my heart is my Buddha!"

This sentence sounded in Gu Xia's heart like a huge bell.

It was also like a revelation, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

Gu Xia seemed to understand something, but also seemed to understand nothing.

The scene in front of him vanished, and the figure of Master Kong Wu also instantly turned into nothingness.

…

Gu Xia suddenly opened his eyes.

Yan Nishang, who was worried about him, said in surprise: "Master Gu, are you still alive?"

Gu Xia didn't have time to respond to her, but meditated immediately.

Because he had to seize the time to turn his feelings into real gains.
