From a refugee to a martial artist

Chapter 153 You are obsessed
The top of Hulu Mountain was still gloomy and rainy.

Elder Huanri's disciple Jinghe was still holding an umbrella in one hand, the eternal lamp in the other, and one foot on the staff, as if he had entered a state of meditation.

A gust of wind blew, bringing with it a smell of blood.

At this moment, there were two or three hundred people on the top of the mountain, and only Meng Yuan and Master Ku Rong were standing.

Meng Yuan held the knife, stood in front of Mingyue, and stared at Master Ku Rong quietly.

The Great Master Ku Rong didn't care much. He just took the Zen stick, took a step back, aimed at the back of one person's head, and hit him with the stick.

"Young donor, you are deeply trapped in lust." Master Ku Rong killed another seven people before stopping. Holding the Zen stick in his hand, he looked at Meng Yuan and said, "The girl behind you is just a beautiful skeleton. You shouldn't protect her."

Meng Yuan got into position and activated his Burning Heart ability, waiting for Master Ku Rong to make a move, but the other party had no intention of doing anything.

"Young donor, you are no match for me." Master Kuruo smiled.

Since the other party said so, Meng Yuan did not argue, but what about the people from the Demon Suppression Bureau?

"How many days have passed?" Meng Yuan asked.

"One reincarnation is seven days. Just after seven days, it is already mid-July." Master Kuruo was kind and gentle, but blood was still dripping from his Zen staff.

"Old Zen Master, we are awake, but Jinghe is not awake yet?" Meng Yuan simply started chatting with the old monk.

"Jinghe thinks he has an ever-burning lamp, which can verify our sincerity. But how can he use this ever-burning lamp?" Kurong smiled complacently.

"Is there any method to use this ever-burning lamp?" Meng Yuan asked curiously.

"What method can there be?" Master Ku Rong taught earnestly, "In fact, the principle is simple. I see that you are young, full of energy and spirit, and your inner and outer appearance should have been tempered, but you are obsessed with lust and have long since broken the precepts. People like you should be young and proud, and you must be looking for a girl of the same age. Have you ever looked for a girl who is thirty or fifty years older than you and has thick shoulders and a big waist?"

Is that something a monk can say? But Meng Yuan understood and said, "Master, what do you mean, the pony was killed by the cart?"

"That's the truth! You really have wisdom!" The Bodhisattva Ku Rong was full of joy and said excitedly: "Little donor, kowtow and I will pluck out your hair. Let's live happily together and go home to become monks!"

"Old Zen Master, my worldly affairs are not over yet, and my love is not gone. I am afraid I cannot become a monk." Meng Yuan refused again.

"Alas, you will eventually realize it. Love between men and women is empty, fame, wealth and power are also empty. When you are older, walk around in the world and take a look, then you will realize it." said Master Ku Rong.

Meng Yuan didn't want to talk about this, so he just said, "Old Zen Master, since that Elder Huanri gave Jinghe the Ever-Bright Lamp, why didn't he expect that Jinghe wouldn't be able to be used properly?"

"Who said I didn't use it well?" Ku Rong laughed heartily as the rain soaked his bald head, "It's just that I didn't use it that well. The artifact that Zizai Buddha brought with him when he broke through the realm, let alone you, a mere seventh-rank warrior, even if you were a middle-third-rank warrior, or even a third-rank warrior, you might be fooled! Do you really think you are invincible with the divine power of heaven?"

He looked at the ever-burning lamp in Jinghe's hand and said seriously, "The Green Rat stole the oil lamp and did many evil things outside. The lamp oil has run out. The oil burning in the ever-burning lamp now is the oil that the Black Rat exchanged for the day before. It burns neither brightly nor fragrantly! It is only by relying on the power of the lamp that it can be considered to have some ability."

Meng Yuan believed half of this. The eternal lamp was something beside the second-grade Buddha. Even if there was no lamp oil, it might have other magical powers.

"Old Zen Master, what is this lamp oil made of?" Meng Yuan asked again.

"Put aside all emotions and delusions, and let your mind shine in the void. When the Buddha Zizai attained the Bodhisattva status, many random thoughts arose, and he swung his sword to cut them off, turning them into the growing and bright Buddha light." Kurong said with a smile.

Meng Yuan also laughed, "A second-grade Bodhisattva is still troubled by all kinds of distracting thoughts?"

"It is inevitable to be born in this world. Even if you have truly realized the supreme way, you can't get rid of all your thoughts." The Great Master Ku Rong originally spoke slowly, but then he changed his tone and said, "But I am cultivating the Ku Rong appearance, my heart is empty, and I know the roots of the ever-bright lamp. Not only can the thoughts of the seven sufferings not disturb my mood, but I have made Jing He possessed by the Tao!"

Master Kurong said that his heart was empty, but he felt contented. "Little donor, if it were not so, do you think you could be liberated?"

He stared at Meng Yuan, his face becoming more kind, with the dignified feeling of a great monk, "I am compassionate and I want to help others and myself. You should become my disciple."

This old monk is so evil that he is actually very righteous.

Meng Yuan pushed the Heart-Burning Technique to its extreme, not daring to let his mind wander in the slightest, and not even taking his eyes off it.

This Master Kuruo is very weird. Even if everything he said may not be true, he can make up so much about it, so I think he must be quite capable.

Moreover, this person is not a member of Lanruo Temple, nor is he a wild monk. He comes from the Western Buddhist Kingdom, so he might be telling the truth.

"Look at the little girl you protected. She was very capable and had treasures to protect her, but she still fell into it." Master Kurong sighed compassionately and said, "She was suffering. She was very suffering. She sat cross-legged with a straight back, so it shouldn't be emotional. I guess her parents died, and her brothers and sisters also died. They died tragically, and she will remember it for the rest of her life. Birth, old age, sickness and death are not to be feared. She is probably trapped in the suffering of not getting what she wants." Master Kurong saw that Meng Yuan was listening seriously, so he continued, "You should know how to defend against this method of planting thoughts. But this is a method of attacking the heart and saving people. The more suffering you have, the more you hold it in your heart, the more firewood you will pile up. Your calm mind and firm will are like the water in the well that puts out the fire. If it was me and Black Rat who started the fire, she could still block it with her divine power, but now that Black Rat has used the lamp to ignite a trace of true fire, she can't stand it."

"How does it compare to Qing Guangzi's Bodhi seed?" Meng Yuan asked.

"Qing Guangzi is only at the fourth level, how can he be compared with the lighting object of my Buddha of Freedom?" Kurong was extremely disdainful. "The original intention of the Ever-Bright Lamp is to sharpen the mind and be activated at will, but he used it to trap people, which is already inferior. But even if the lamp oil is changed, the fifth-level black rat can be compared with Qing Guangzi's Bodhi Seed Thought."

It turns out that the black rat who changes the day is a fifth-grade Buddhist demon!
"Then how can we help her?" Meng Yuan asked seriously.

"The best way is to practice Buddhism. Then all your sufferings and confusions will disappear. The other way is to eliminate your past karma. Or simply let it go!" said Master Kuruo with a smile.

"What the old Zen master said is very mysterious." Meng Yuan shook his head slightly.

"You are absolutely right! The cultivation of nature in Buddhism is extremely mysterious! Once you attain enlightenment, you will be truly free!" Master Kuruo nodded repeatedly, and there was a bit more appreciation in his eyes when he looked at Meng Yuan.

Meng Yuan pressed the hilt of the knife and said with a smile: "It turns out that the old Zen master is a sudden enlightenment school."

"That's about right. I'm actually from the Gradual Cultivation School, but in the end I had a sudden enlightenment and became the Kuruo form. It's not too far-fetched to say that I'm from the Sudden Enlightenment School." Master Kuruo actually admitted it.

"Then old Zen master, how do we wake her up now?" Meng Yuan asked the main question.

"That's difficult." Master Ku Rong frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then spoke: "The eternal lamp is lit, the Buddha's light shines everywhere, but you can't be at ease. This is because you are trapped in the desire realm where the seven thoughts were cut off when the free Buddha broke through the second level from the third level. As long as the lamp is not extinguished, the reincarnation will not stop. They will suffer the pain of the seven thoughts of reincarnation over and over again. Although the lamp oil has been changed now, your lover is in too much pain, and I'm afraid he won't wake up for a while."

He sighed slightly and said, "Just go get the eternal lamp and extinguish the flame, then the seven sufferings will no longer revolve around, and everything will naturally be fine."

Meng Yuan looked at the eternal lamp held in Jinghe's hand, then shook his head slightly.

"This thing came from the Western Buddhist country. Why didn't the old Zen master take it? Instead, why is he using the Zen stick to save people?" Meng Yuan said with a smile.

"The people I have saved are all stupid and foolish, wasting food!" The Bodhisattva Ku Rong shook his head gently, "The Eternal Light is useless to me, and the Buddha of Freedom does not need it either."

Kurong had a compassionate smile on his face. He just stared at Meng Yuan and said, "Little donor, you can break free from the suffering of the seven thoughts. You have the heart of a Buddha and quick wisdom. The eternal lamp should belong to you."

"The old Zen master is truly compassionate and courteous to the younger generation. He is truly a great man." Meng Yuan drew out his knife and said, "I just don't know what the hidden dangers are in taking the eternal lamp without permission? Why did the old Zen master repeatedly try to help me enter the Buddhist monastery? Why did he repeatedly plant thoughts in my mind?"

After hearing this, Master Ku Rong frowned and asked, "The method of renouncing emotions and contemplating the secrets of heaven?"

"That's right." Meng Yuan said with a smile, "The old Zen master has taught me for a long time, and I have benefited a lot from it."

“You bastard!” Master Ku Rong immediately put away his compassionate look, walked up to a young man in two or three steps, picked up his Zen staff, and smashed it on the top of his head. “Didn’t you say that he learned the Spring Thunder when he just reached the seventh level?”

The young man was clearly Captain Li's nephew Li Zhenshan.

Li Zhenshan was still in a dream when Master Ku Rong smashed his head and he died instantly.

Meng Yuan didn't know how Master Kuruo hooked up with Li Zhenshan, but he guessed that he was tricked during the debate between Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism a few days ago.

It seems that it is a bad habit to rush forward when seeing something exciting.

This time, Meng Yuan finally doesn't have to bear the stigma of killing his colleagues without permission.

But at this moment, where are the colleagues from the Demon Suppression Division? Where is the fifth-rank warrior Xiao Taotao?

"Oh my! Why are you on guard against me? Why? Why?" Master Ku Rong was shaking with anger, and Buddha's light emanated from his whole body. "You are so hateful!"

He raised his Zen staff and said through gritted teeth: "You are only a seventh-rank warrior, you are definitely not my opponent!"

The Great Master Kurong seemed to be crazy, and continued: "If you help me get the oil lamp, I will accept you as my disciple! When I become a Buddha, I will definitely help you become a Buddha too! Let's ascend to the paradise together!"

"Don't try to deceive me with such words!" Meng Yuan immediately locked onto the other party's aura, "The original mind is blocking the Zen mind. Old Zen Master, you are obsessed with appearances."

"Oh my! I thought you were the first to break the seven thoughts and that you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be so stubborn! If there were more people like you in the world, how could there be Buddha?"

Master Ku Rong was furious. He picked up his Zen staff and the Buddha's light on his body became brighter and brighter. "If the Buddha can't bring you to paradise, then I will bring you to hell!"
