Chapter 921: Talking About Taoism and Immortal Nunnery
The master and apprentice gather again and go west again, still walking forward like ordinary people. In fact, the most important thing about traveling west to learn scriptures is not the scriptures, but the process of traveling west to learn scriptures, just like life. Then life would be meaningless, so even if you encounter the thorny ridge that stretches for thousands of miles, you are still prepared to walk through it instead of flying directly over it.
Bajie had already made the rake, so this time he took the initiative to ask Ying to open the way. The formation he added to his rake was a whirlwind magic similar to the plantain fan, but of course it was quite different from the plantain fan. When Bajie danced the rake, he did not It will not blow people tens of thousands of miles, but will release a super tornado to attack the enemy. This wind has the nature of the sky, and the attack power is quite amazing. Monsters and ghosts, as long as they are blown by this tornado, they will not die and peel off their skin.
Bajie, who was full of food, was still quite strong. His rake was flying up and down, dancing continuously, one after another powerful whirlwinds were blowing forward unscrupulously. Wherever the whirlwinds passed, no grass grew, and even the ground was cut. After dropping one floor, a broad avenue was opened in this thorny barren mountain.
Drifting Monk and Little White Dragon were of course very envious to see Bajie easily play the whirlwind of Tiangang to open the way. Now the pattern of Drifting Monk's upgrade weapon has been drawn and put into the alchemy furnace to refine and upgrade, so now it's time to He is holding a big alchemy furnace every day.
"Senior brother, how long will it take for your weapon to be ready?"
"It will take about a month!"
"Suddenly, one month seems to be a long time!"
"Yeah, it's really slow. I really wish my baby could be upgraded sooner."
"Senior brother, what function is added to your weapon?"
"The master said that it is called freezing the world. After being driven by divine sense, everything within the range of perception of the divine sense can be instantly frozen. As long as the strength is not stronger than mine, it can be frozen directly. Even if the strength is stronger than mine, it can also cause certain damage. slowing effect."
"...It's really powerful, this is simply giving the brother a powerful supernatural power... By the way, how far is the range of the brother's spiritual perception now?"
"In the past, my spiritual sense perception was very average, but since the last revision of Master's modified Heart Sutra, the scope of my spiritual sense has increased a lot. Now it has about two hundred steps!"
"Brother, do you know the range of master's spiritual perception?"
"At least three to five miles away!"
The two walked behind and chatted without saying a word, and Wukong also talked and laughed by Li Yunfei's side. Since he was rescued by Li Yunfei last time, the relationship has become much more cordial. And Bajie was very excited to play with new weapons, so he didn't feel tired at all. Although there were endless thorny ridges, they couldn't block the journey of the master and apprentice at all.
...
However, after walking in Thorn Ridge for a whole day, at sunset, they came to an open area, and indeed saw a rather old house, outside the gate was green trees and flowers blooming like brocades. But it is an excellent place to hide from the world.
You don't need to look to know that you have arrived at the legendary Muxian Nunnery. When you enter the gate, you will meet a few thousand-year-old dryads to greet you. They didn't use any magic tricks to fool people, but the image of the dryads appeared directly. However, the attitude Very respectful, and also sent fruit tea, hoping to have a discussion with the holy monk.
Li Yunfei doesn't care about this, the current strength is not as good as before, I really don't take these goblins with little fighting power in my eyes, and one more thing is that these tree spirits don't have any resentment, on the contrary, they have a kind of fairy style and bone spirit that is extraordinary and refined It is more appropriate to say that they are fairies than to say that they are immortals.
Sun Houzi also seemed extremely calm, he didn't hold up the stick and shout to kill the goblin, but followed the master step by step like a little bookboy. Only when the master said to fight, he would fight, and if he said not to fight, then he would not fight. The monsters who discussed along the way basically did not suffer.
The master and apprentice sat down, the extremely old man also sat down, and the Xingxian personally served everyone a cup of tea before sitting aside.
Li Yunfei is not stingy at all about preaching and discussing the Tao. He pursues teaching without discrimination, and never hides it. As long as the other party is a virtuous practitioner, he will ask for advice very respectfully.
Of course, I still don't know what kind of Tao these tree spirits know, so at the beginning, I still had a tentative exchange, talking about the Buddhist practice methods, and of course there are some practice methods that I have comprehended.
After hearing this, the tree spirits respectfully thanked them. In return, they also shared their own methods of cultivation, but the result surprised Li Yunfei. It turned out to be a very authentic method of cultivation...
"Fellow Taoists, is this the method of self-enlightenment?"
"No, no, how can I have such understanding... Hundreds of years ago in this Muxian nunnery, there was a true immortal living in seclusion here. We were lucky enough to hear that true immortal displaying the law of the Qingmu Dao. One or two, only then did the good fortune of self-cultivation become a spirit." The pine tree spirit explained directly.
"...So that's the case, where is the Great Immortal now?"
"The Great Immortal comes and goes without a trace, I'll find out there."
"Old man, do you know the name of that great fairy?" Sun Houzi also asked, mainly because he felt that the cultivation methods of these goblins were somewhat familiar, very similar to the five-element green wood technique that he had seen a lot in the three-star cave on the oblique moon before.
"...I don't know." The old men glanced at each other and could only answer honestly.
"You don't even know the name of the fairy who enlightened you?"
"...Brother Monkey, in fact, Laozhu doesn't even know the name of the immortal who enlightened me!" Bajie muttered. Although some guessed that the immortal who enlightened him at the beginning was Emperor Donghua, but that person never admitted it, so Bajie still doesn't know who his original mentor was until now.
"Forget it, go ahead and ignore me!" Sun Houzi immediately shut up.
"...I heard that the Dao of Cultivation is originally in the land of China, why did the holy monk come to the west to seek the Sutra of Cultivation?" After hesitating, the cypress spirit also asked the doubts in his heart.
"Only by experiencing the sufferings of life can one understand life and jump out of reincarnation... As the saying goes, reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, and a long journey is also a kind of practice." Li Yunfei said something about saving suffering and saving sentient beings. It is used to fool the public, and there is no need to shout slogans in the face of real practitioners. The real purpose of learning the scriptures is actually for self-cultivation.
"……Been taught a lesson!"
"Holy Monk, I heard that monks shave their heads. Why do you have long hair?" The apricot tree spirit also asked curiously.
"The Buddha said: everything is empty, so what's the difference between long hair and bald head?" Li Yunfei explained a bit.
"...Since everything is empty, why does the holy monk have to fast and eat vegetarian food?"
"Maybe the female Bodhisattva doesn't know something, but my master never said to be fast and vegetarian. Master, an old man like me, is never picky about food. The so-called wine and meat have passed through the heart of the Buddha..." Ba Jie stood for Li Yunfei Answered, but these words stunned a few ignorant dryads for a long time. In fact, Li Yunfei was also sweating on his forehead, so how could he have said that he had passed through his intestines with wine and meat?
"Let's not talk about those digressions, why don't we each show the Aoki Dao that we have comprehended, and have a real discussion?" Li Yunfei used the spirit wood stick and the purple bamboo flute all these years to understand the Five Elements Wood. A lot of comprehension, now that these few tree spirits are all focused on understanding the way of green wood, it is a rare opportunity to exchange and learn from each other.
"Very good, very good, that's exactly what I intend to do." The tree spirits also greatly agreed with Li Yunfei's words. The so-called bosom friend is hard to find, since it is fate to meet a fellow Taoist, they chat about other topics It's a bit of a waste of time indeed.
Now that several people have agreed, Li Yunfei no longer hides it, and directly unfolds his spiritual consciousness, fully displaying the five elements and green wood road that he has comprehended. This is the most primitive and authentic way of discussing Taoism. It's hard to describe it in words, and I can only show my comprehension through spiritual consciousness, so that the other party can comprehend it more easily.
This method is still learned from Taishang Laojun. It is usually only used for enlightenment. I used myself to easily demonstrate the law of the Dao. Although it is only superficial, it will surprise these country bumpkins. The dryads also followed suit with their spiritual consciousness and demonstrated the Aoki Dao they each mastered, even much better than the Aoki Dao comprehended by Li Yunfei.
For a while, under the operation of the law of green wood, the surrounding area is also full of vitality. The flowers, plants and trees all exude a very pleasant atmosphere.
This most authentic way of discussing the Tao can be said to be good for everything, even the water-avoiding beast felt the benefits, lying on the side strangely, savoring the fluctuations of the law.
If one wants to truly understand the Tao, any living being has to rely on oneself, and only one who enlightens oneself can be called the Tao, and one can only learn the Dharma from others...
"...It's really hard to judge people by their appearances. I never thought that these monsters could actually discuss the Tao with Master!" Looking at the solemn appearance of those tree spirits, Sun Houzi couldn't help but sigh with emotion. Although these monsters It's a mess of poor combat effectiveness, but it's quite clever for the Five Elements Aoki Way.
"Brother Hou is also making a fuss. These people are all trees that have become spirits. Of course, it will be much easier to understand this Qingmu Avenue!" Bajie also said in a low voice.
"That's true, it's just that they can actually use such an authentic Taoism method, which is really rare among monsters!"
"Since it was enlightened by Youdao Zhenxian, it is strange to master this authentic method..."
"Why do you two talk, such a rare opportunity to enlightenment, why don't you enlighten yourself?" Li Yunfei reminded in a low voice.
"Master Monster, Bajie and I don't have much talent for the Qingmu Dao, comprehension can only be achieved with half the effort, so we don't want to join in the fun!"
"...Then you go around and come back tomorrow morning, don't disturb your two juniors' enlightenment!"
"Yes, Master!" Houzi and Bajie agreed, exited the Muxian Nunnery, disappeared as a streamer, and went to visit friends from various places.
