If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 328: Hidden Secrets Are About to Reveal

The monk had no expression on his face and continued, "The one who killed you was not a ghost or a god, nor was it a natural disaster, but your own calamity!
In fact, it has little to do with Yu Fengxian.

Except for Buddha, no one can escape the law of cause and effect.

Cause and effect leave no trace, but will never disappear.

For every time you steal a piece of yin or yang, your bad karma will increase by one point.

Countless evil deeds have accumulated, and your calamity of death is getting closer and closer.

Yu Fengxian attracted the attention of the Emperor of Heaven, which at most triggered your killing calamity in advance.

Even though the Jade Emperor never knew that there was such a person as you in the world, the heavens, the earth, and the people all knew about it, and the cause and effect are always there. Sooner or later, you will have to face the evil karma you have created."

At this point, the monk's tone was more sad, "If cause and effect and karma can be easily eliminated, would I have left your mother alone to live out her life in misery?
I want to be with her, I don't want to go back to Lingshan, it was Jiang Long and Fu Hu who forced me to go back. If I did this, it will be even harder for you to escape retribution.

When I gave you three volumes of the Diamond Sutra, I told you clearly that reading the sutra is for you and your mother to eliminate karma. I never said that reciting the sutra can lead to longevity. "

Lao Shenxian hurriedly said: "Dad, I also do good deeds and accumulate virtue. Every year I give money to disaster victims.

And I never lie.

Everyone knows what the situation of Changchun Martial Arts School is, including the common people.

If they don’t enter my Changchun Martial Arts School, those children with mediocre talents and no prominent family background will never be able to make a name for themselves in their lives.

At most I can take their vital yin and yang, but I will hardly take their lives."

"So you can live for more than three hundred years." said the monk.

"I" Lao Shenxian was stunned, and once again grabbed the monk's legs exposed under the hemp clothes, begging: "Dad, save me!"

The monk said, "You have three options now. The first option is the easiest. Let me kill you with one palm strike.

I make a great vow to recite the Diamond Sutra for 3,490 years to eliminate your sins.

Your soul can be reincarnated immediately."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Shenxian shouted excitedly, "No, I don't want to die, and I don't want to reincarnate. Dad, I am your child, and I will always be!"

The monk said expressionlessly: "The second way is a little more troublesome. I will slap you to death first, let you pay for your sin, and then bury your coffin in a blessed land, and let you become the master of the blessed land.

If you practice Buddhism in this blessed land for five hundred years, you may be able to eliminate your karma and go to the Western Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss."

Seeing that Lao Shenxian was about to shout again, he shouted: "The Pure Land was created by the Buddha together with all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

It is a perfect world for all believers and even the Buddha himself, which is far greater than you think. "

Lao Shenxian asked: "What is the third way? Dad, please show me a way to survive."

He emphasized the pronunciation of the word "live".

"The third path I offer you is still a dead end. From now on, stop taking essence and let yourself slowly die in aging and endless pain.

Two years of extreme suffering in the human world may be exchanged for the fact that evil will be punished and retribution will be over. "The ascetic said.

Lao Shenxian couldn't accept it.

He knew better than anyone how serious the consequences of stopping the practice of collecting energy were. Two years of suffering was more difficult to accept than killing him directly.

He was slapped to death by Buddha and died without feeling anything.

Two years of hardship, every day and every hour was more painful than death.

"Dad, I just want to live. You are the Buddha, can't you save my child?"

The monk said indifferently: "Since ancient times, when faced with a calamity of death, the virtuous can only use clever methods to deal with it.

You can only hide and avoid it before the evil deeds begin.

Once you are involved in cause and effect, you cannot hide or avoid it.

For someone like you who is full of evil karma and is despised by God, the above three methods of proactively responding to calamities are the best way out.

The more you want to live, the more miserable your death may be in the end.

After practicing Taoism for so many years, you must understand this principle."

Lao Shenxian's eyes flickered as he said, "Taiyi Xuanmen can only take the initiative to respond to the disaster.

It is said that during the medieval period of deification, even the Golden Immortals had to find disciples to serve as scapegoats.

Over the years, I have also cultivated many trusted disciples."

The monk wanted to roll his eyes, but he held back. He did not lose his dignified and cold demeanor, but his voice became even colder, "I, your Buddha father, am just a junior in front of the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect. Who do you think you are? How dare you compare yourself with the ancient Golden Immortal?

Moreover, the ancient golden immortal avoided the killing calamity of heaven and earth.

You are doomed to die, and God has rejected you.

If you kill several of your trusted disciples for no reason, God will only hate you more. How can he help you avoid disaster?

If you really want to learn how the ancient golden immortal responded to disasters, you can take your disciples to Daqin to participate in the great disaster of heaven and earth.

If you can be chosen as the person chosen by destiny, stand beside him and live to the end, not only can you avoid disasters, but you can also be blessed by humanity and luck, and gain great fortune and great merit. But do you dare to go?

As long as you have the courage to risk your life, you don't have to go to Daqin. You can earn merit in Yingxiang Mansion.

When you were fighting ghosts at Guaizi Mountain before, you led your disciples to fight with all your might and killed two ghost kings. Perhaps this could help eliminate some of your bad karma.

Why don't you go? Didn't the Li family invite you? "

It's no wonder that Li Xianzhi really didn't invite Lao Shenxian. Because Lao Shenxian had lived for more than 300 years, everyone knew his temper very well, so he didn't go up to invite trouble.

Lao Shenxian looked up at his Buddha father and said, "It's not that I don't have courage, but I am too clear-headed - I clearly realize that going to Guaizi Mountain to kill ghosts is to seek death!
Yu Fengxian is so powerful that she can save the souls of 100,000 ghosts by herself, but how can such a great fortune exist for her?

Behind the demon cicada stands the Golden Cicada from Lingshan!
Given Jin Chanzi's viciousness and cruelty, how could she have a good ending?"

The rough and dark face of the monk twitched twice, "Even you know that the person behind the demon cicada is Jin Chanzi?"

Lao Shenxian didn't understand why Buddha Dad was suspicious of such a trivial matter, but he still said honestly: "Thanks to Dad's Buddha's influence, I have made many friends over the years.

There are immortals from Longevity Mountain, demons from the southern mountains, and the City God and Judge of the underworld. I am well-informed."

"What makes you say that Jin Chanzi is vicious and cruel?" asked the monk.

Lao Shenxian asked tentatively, "Dad, do you know Elder Jinchan?"

He realized something was wrong and even changed his address from "Golden Cicada" to "Elder Golden Cicada".

"Familiar, but never met." said the monk.

This is actually a true statement with a hidden mystery, and Lao Shenxian certainly failed to understand the mystery.

He said cautiously: "The Ghost King of Guaizi Mountain wants ten thousand ghosts to march every day and turn the entire Yingxiang Prefecture into a ghost kingdom.

There are tens of millions of living beings in Yingxiang Mansion!
Elder Jinchan’s methods are too cruel.”

The monk was speechless and helpless.

Even his son, who had committed many evil deeds, thought that his methods were cruel.
In fact, although Lao Shenxian was afraid of death and did not dare to participate in the extermination of ghosts in Guaizi Mountain, he did contribute a lot to the extermination. Many of the "immortals" in the Shudong Martial Arts Conference were recruited by Li Xianzhi at Lao Shenxian's birthday party.

For example, Fairy Yuchen and Master Fufeng.

Lao Shenxian did not come out to persuade them directly. After all, he himself would not participate, so how could he have the qualifications to persuade others to go to Guaizi Mountain to risk their lives?

His stance leaned towards the Li family, which provided a lot of convenience for Li Xianzhi to recruit people.

"Jin Chanzi is not the master of Lingshan," said the monk, and then he could not continue.

The point is not whether Jin Chanzi is vicious and cruel.

But the question is whether Yu Fengxian can get better after offending the "Abbot".

It probably won't get better.

Even though he admired her a little, Yu Chan was right: if he didn't kill her, she would continue to do bad things in the future; if he didn't kill her, he wouldn't be able to lead a team like the "Eight Immortals of the West".

Therefore, what the eldest son said was right. If you go to Guaizi Mountain to earn merit, you will die sooner or later if you win, and you will die miserably on the spot if you lose.

But this was what he meant originally: to learn from the ancient golden immortals and take his disciples with him to face the calamity, with no chance of survival.

Today's Qigong practitioners, such as Lao Shenxian, only analyze that the ancient Golden Immortal used his disciples to ward off disasters, but overlooked the most important point: in addition to his disciples, the ancient Golden Immortal also had a saintly master.

The saintly master is the key, otherwise the Twelve Golden Immortals would have been on the list of gods long ago.

If you want to learn from the ancient golden immortals to use their disciples to ward off disasters, you should first find a saint master.

Now, Lao Shenxian also understood what Buddha meant - the ancient golden immortal's method of dealing with disasters was too dangerous and could not be learned.

He said, "Dad, can you lead me into Buddhism? I won't go to Lingshan and won't bother you.

I want to learn Joy Zen from Dingguang Huanxi Buddhism.

Can we use the joyful Zen to comprehend the profound meaning of great nirvana and survive the killing disaster?"

Whether one can survive the killing calamity is really uncertain, but if one enters Buddhism and masters the Buddhist teachings - even if it is the joyful Zen method, the soul will be guaranteed to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation after death, or even enter the Pure Land.

"You are facing a dangerous calamity. What's the point of trying to save yourself now?" The monk's tone softened.

"It would definitely be too late to start learning from the beginning. But I already have a rich foundation in dual cultivation, and now all I need to do is switch from Taoism to Buddhism." Lao Shenxian said with anticipation.

His Taoist dual cultivation method was actually very advanced, which he learned from a true immortal, but he did not learn it completely, so his Taoist method was incomplete and he could not become an immortal.

Switching to the practice of Joyful Zen is not just a momentary thought.

He has a Buddhist father, connections and opportunities.

In fact, he has been waiting for his own Buddha father, Buddha father means immortal fate!

"This is your own choice, don't regret it in the future!"

The monk hesitated for only a moment, then raised his right hand and touched Lao Shenxian's forehead with his carrot-thick finger.

Golden ripples flashed across Lao Shenxian's forehead.

His mind was filled with a large number of scriptures, dual cultivation diagrams, and insights into joyful Zen.

Even the Taoist "Changchun Qi" in his body began to transform into Buddha power.

"Dad, you also practiced Joy Zen?" Immortal Lao was surprised and happy.

As the most intelligent disciple under the command of Tathagata Buddha, what Buddhist teachings does Jin Chanzi not understand?
However, he did not explain. He left a sentence "Take care of yourself" and disappeared in the painting hall of Lao Mansion and disappeared in Western Shu.

At the same time, on the top floor of Tianbaoju, Xiaoyu, who was "competing with Wen Zhiruo in internal strength", opened her eyes in surprise and shouted, "Wait a minute, let's take a break."

They sat cross-legged on the couch, facing each other, with their palms pressed together, inspiring their own righteous energy to confront each other.

At this moment, Xiao Yu shouted, moved his body backward a few feet, retracted his palms, and absorbed the great energy into the Purple Palace again - the internal force cultivated by the breathing method was in the body, the great energy was in the soul, and in the Confucian thoughts.

"You are still not discouraged, why do you want to rest?" Wen Zhiruo said angrily.

Only a small part of her anger was because Xiaoyu suddenly stopped practicing and disturbed her interest.

He was more dissatisfied with himself for not being able to defeat Xiaoyu's "external evil spirit" in one fell swoop.

She was a great Confucian master who had practiced righteousness for nearly ten years; Yu Fengxian was a barbarian who was younger than her and had only learned to read for less than half a year.

But they were actually able to compete in "inner strength" (righteousness) - there was a stalemate, instead of her being able to crush them with ease.

"I suddenly encountered a question."

Xiao Yu closed his eyes again and carefully studied the reactivated "Lao Shenxian's Killing Method".

——What’s going on? Lao Shenxian suddenly became stronger, and it seems that even the fundamental laws are changing?

"You are concentrating on competing with me in righteousness, how could you have any doubts? Do you dare to be distracted?" Wen Zhiruo became even more excited.

"It's not a distraction. It's just that something important suddenly popped into my mind."

Xiao Yu waved her hand, signaling her not to be anxious, and then said: "Let me ask you something, do you know Lao Shenxian?

Did Li Qianyue tell you why the King of West Shu and the Prince of Qinghe sent their children to celebrate his birthday every year? "

Seeing her serious expression, as if she really remembered something important, Wen Zhiruo suppressed her dissatisfaction and irritability and said, "Didn't you ask before?
Lao Shenxian has lived for more than 300 years. He cannot be considered highly respected, but his longevity is the most enviable ability. "

Xiao Yu said: "I didn't know much about Lao Shenxian before, but I can barely accept what you said.

Now I find that the Li family got almost no benefit from Lao Shenxian.

Earlier, I thought that Lao Shenxian would participate in the ghost-slaying mission at Guaizi Mountain and at least provide some help.

But Li Xianzhi never had such thoughts, and had no resentment towards Lao Shenxian's indifference.

And Lao Shenxian himself is very strange.

After the incident with Chi Lingzi, I kept an eye on the news from the Lao Mansion and found that he stayed at home almost all day without going out.

Don't say that he only relies on nourishing the body to prolong his life.

Even if he is a true immortal and lives a life that has no impact on others, why do others care about him and respect him so much?"

Wen Zhiruo was stunned for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense. Lao Shenxian's identity should be very extraordinary. But what does this have to do with you?"

Xiao Yu rolled his eyes and said, “I was thinking, maybe I should rent a small courtyard next to Lao Mansion.

He is so secretive and stays at home every day, isn't he a good supporter?"

"Just for such a trivial matter?" There was obvious dissatisfaction on Wen Zhiruo's dark face.

"It may be a small matter to you, but it is a matter of life and death to me."

It would be fine if Lao Shenxian suddenly changed the fundamental law, but the new fundamental law is obviously related to Buddhism.

At such a sensitive moment, she suddenly had an "encounter", which was related to Buddhism. How could she not think of the evil cicada that was secretly causing trouble?
Anyway, she wanted to observe the various aspects of the market. Now that Tianmen Town had suffered a fire disaster, it was not very convenient to wander around, and the Yingxiang Mansion next door was not far away.
