Chapter 105 Heaven Is the Devil

"The magic of stealing the sky and changing the sun?" Tang Zixi blurted out.

The monk suddenly froze, and a strange brilliance appeared in his eyes.

He seemed to be trapped in some kind of long-term memory, his body was trembling involuntarily, trembling...

Tang Zixi looked at him in shock, seemingly motionless, but in fact she had connected her spiritual thoughts to the book.

This Buddhist sutra's ability to achieve Taoist weapons must have a lot to do with her. If nothing else, just holding it, Tang Zixi had a very familiar feeling. This was because Tang Zixi had some kind of spiritual connection with this Taoist weapon. This kind of flesh-and-blood connection is created by the owner and his treasure after long-term use. There is only one explanation for the feeling of flesh-and-blood connection after the first contact, and that is that Tang Zixi is its creator.

Perhaps, the time pattern on the Buddhist scriptures came from Tang Zixi.

But no matter what, the important thing is that now Tang Zixi cannot use the Taoist method of time, so this Taoist book is the only chance to help her get out of danger.

She didn't know what the consequences would be if she used the Taoist book again with the chaotic and violent time power in her body, but she had no choice.

Taking advantage of the fact that the monk seemed a little confused, Tang Zixi continued to deepen his spiritual thoughts, and just when he was about to activate the Taoist book without thinking, the monk suddenly looked shocked and shouted: "I remembered! I am the Nine Difficulties! "

With this shout, the demonic aura on the monk's body has receded like a tide. The demonic monk who was so vicious just now suddenly became bathed in divine light, and his extremely evil and twisted face also became kind at this moment. .

Tang Zixi was stunned by this change. Looking at the monk again, his image became taller and taller, and his whole body was bathed in a layer of precious light.

The people from the distant temple lost all obstacles and came one after another. Seeing this scene, they knelt down and shouted: "The great virtue is back! The great virtue is back!"

Tang Zixi was also stunned. Looking at the Nine Difficulties in front of her, she felt that his face was familiar and amiable. He was 70-80% similar to the Nine Difficulties she had seen in Taoist books before.

A flash of light flashed in his heart, and he said: "Are you the Nine Difficulties? The Nine Difficulties who chant sutras in the Buddhist hall?"

The monk recited the Buddha's name, sighed and nodded: "Ashamed, ashamed. Thank you little girl for saving me from suffering. I was deceived by the devil, but I almost harmed the little girl. Fortunately, the girl reminded me, and I remembered my previous life. Drive away this evil thought and return yourself."

"Return yourself?" Tang Zixi looked at the monk: "So, you are the real Nine Difficulties, but you are trapped in endless reincarnation because of this great magic of stealing the sky and changing the sun? So who are the Nine Difficulties in the Demon World?"

The monk shook his head: "That's another old man."

"The other you?" Tang Zixi stared blankly at the monk in front of her: "You mean, you are the Nine Difficulties, and the monk from the Hongmeng Demon Realm is also the Nine Difficulties, and you are the same person? Could it be that he is your clone?"

"Clone?" The monk tilted his head and thought for a while before shaking his head: "No, he is not my clone. If you really want to say that, I should be considered his clone, but not entirely."

Tang Zixi was completely stunned.

She had no idea what was going on.

The Nine Difficulties in front of him clasped his hands together and said, "Actually, I am the Nine Difficulties before becoming a demon. He left a seed of good thoughts and sent him into reincarnation by stealing the sky and exchanging the sun."

"The seeds of kindness left behind by Jiu Di before becoming a demon?" Tang Zixi was a little confused when she heard this.

Why does Jiu Di need to leave seeds of good thoughts behind before becoming a demon? Why is the seed of good thoughts left behind still contaminated with demonic energy, and will be a demon first when it comes out? And why did Jiu Nan master the magic of stealing the sky and changing the sun?

Tang Zixi didn't understand all this.

Na JiuNan already said: "It's normal for the little donor not to understand. You don't understand, just because you don't know the truth of this world yet. It wouldn't be strange if you knew. Do you know why JiuNan became a demon?"

Tang Zixi was stunned at first, and then said: "I read about his past in Taoist books. He seemed to have received some kind of summons one day, just like...the devil's temptation."

Tang Zixi thought about it for a while before answering.

"The devil's temptation?" The Nine Dilemmas in front of him chuckled: "The devil's temptation, it's easy to explain, the little donor really has wisdom. But does the donor know why the devil tempted him? Why did Jiu Di fall for this temptation?"

Tang Zixi shook her head blankly.

At this point she was completely confused.

The monk paused for a moment, then continued: "Many people know that Monk Jiu Nan is a famous eminent monk in the Great Buddha Kingdom of the West. Although his cultivation is ordinary, he is proficient in Buddhism and has a thorough understanding of heaven and earth. But few people know , why Jiu Nan has such understanding, but his cultivation level is pitifully low. Most people think that it is because Jiu Nan studies Buddhism diligently and disdains practice. But that is just the wishful thinking of ignorant outsiders. As everyone knows, Buddhism also pays attention to using thunder means to kill All evildoers. If we only study Buddhism blindly, wouldn’t it become nothing but empty words in this era when immortality and dharma are manifesting sages?”

"Then why is his cultivation low?" Tang Zixi could only temporarily suppress her doubts and asked.

The monk asked: "Do you know that there is a theory in the spiritual world that the higher the cultivation level, the more difficult it is to achieve enlightenment?"

Tang Zixi replied: "Of course."

The higher the level of spiritual practice, the more difficult it is to achieve enlightenment. This is a truth that the spiritual practice community has long understood. Some say it's because of the jealousy of heaven because of one's high level of cultivation, while others say that it's because one's self-cultivation is too high and it becomes stereotyped, making it difficult to accept new ideas. No matter which statement is true, at least it is true that the higher the cultivation level, the harder it is to realize the Tao. Because of this, Yuchengzi's talent could not be improved after he understood the Six Paths, so he had to kill himself, reincarnate, steal the sky and change the sun, and use the body of Tang Jie to complete the twelve paths.

At this moment, the monk said this, and Tang Zixi gradually understood: "You mean, Monk Jiu Nan is a man who understands the Tao and deliberately does not improve his cultivation? But how does this relate to his subsequent experiences?"

It's interesting to see these two people. They clearly have the Nine Difficulties in front of them, but they talk about him, as if the Nine Difficulties in front of them are not the Nine Difficulties at all. And the monks outside the temple just kowtow and say nothing, as if they are not aware of all this. It was as expected.

The monk smiled and said, "That's because you don't know what kind of Tao he has learned."

What way?

It’s nothing more than the Twelve Great Avenues, or the countless small paths below. What else can there be?

Suddenly, a light flashed through her heart. Tang Zixi remembered something and blurted out: "The way of the devil! What he has learned is the way of the devil!"

The young monk Jingxin once said that it is difficult to become a demon after enlightening oneself. At this moment, Tang Zixi remembered it and blurted out.

The monk sighed deeply, neither agreeing nor objecting, but simply said: "The devil's way... maybe. But in the Nine Dilemmas at that time, what he understood was the way of heaven."

————————————

No one can understand the way of heaven.

It is precisely because no one understands it that countless explanations are born.

Those who know the destiny of heaven also understand that the way of heaven is taboo, and those who dare to understand the way of heaven are blaspheming the heaven and earth and should be killed; there are those who believe in the orthodoxy of the great way and believe that the small way is subordinate to the great way, and the great way should belong to the way of heaven. Therefore, by understanding all the twelve great avenues and reaching the will of heaven, one can understand the way of heaven and achieve a new highest point; some people believe that the origin of the vast world is pure. Therefore, the way of heaven is unique and transcends things. Therefore, if you want to understand the way of heaven, you should not be distracted by distracting thoughts, but should focus on the highest and achieve the way of heaven with its purity.

Monk Jiu Di was the supporter of this theory at that time.

In other words, the entire Buddhist country, from Buddha on down, is a supporter of such thinking.

It is said that when Buddha became enlightened and became a Buddha, he achieved it without distracting thoughts. Therefore, his way became the way of everyone in the world. In comparison, Yuchengzi was obviously a supporter of the second idea, so his way It became the concept of the Royal Court of Ten Thousand Realms and even the Great Thousand Realms of Star Luo.

As for the first one, it is the way of the three saint ancestors. His way is to know the destiny, respect and act, and not think about transcendence. This is the original intention.

Because of this, the battle among the world's cultivators can be said to be a battle of ideas to a certain extent. It is a dispute, competition, and even a final war over the ideological divisions regarding the mysteries of the world!

These are all too far-fetched. In short, it was under such circumstances that the original Nine Difficulties embarked on the path of studying Buddhism and understanding the way of heaven. The reason why his cultivation level is low is because he is not willing to let his excessive cultivation level delay his study of Buddhism.

Perhaps it was because of his piety, hard work and research that he finally understood the Nine Difficulties through constant research.

It was at that time that he felt a call of will.

This call is what Tang Zixi calls the devil's temptation.

"What kind of devil can make a virtuous monk fall?" Tang Zixi couldn't help but ask.

The monk lowered his eyebrows and said in a leisurely tone: "You know, Jiu Nan has never thought that he has fallen. In his eyes, everything he does is to uphold the will of heaven. Everything he does, They are the purest principles in heaven and earth, and they are the supreme sacrifice. We ordinary people cannot understand it. He is...purifying the world."

"What did you say?" Tang Zixi was shocked.

"That's right." The monk replied: "That was not the temptation of the devil, but the call of heaven. Jiu Nan felt it, and he chose to obey the call."

"The way of heaven is the way of magic... How is this possible?" Tang Zixi couldn't believe her ears.

"This is the fact." The monk said sadly: "Now, do you understand why no one in the world can understand the way of heaven?"

Tang Zixi felt chills all over her body when she heard this: "Because everyone who understands the way of heaven eventually falls into the way of magic? How is this possible?"

"Nothing is impossible." The monk replied leisurely: "Back then, my Buddha studied Buddhism under the bodhi tree and understood the way of heaven. However, he finally discovered that the end of this road was to fall into the path of devil, so he resolutely chose to give up the way of heaven. He established a Buddhist kingdom and established his own way."

As the monk explained, Tang Zixi gradually understood.

What appears in that book is the call of heaven.

After the call of heaven appeared, Jiu Nan thought that he had successfully understood the way of heaven, and becoming a demon was his mission. As the saying goes, I am not as good as hell and no one will go to hell, so Jiu Di resolutely chose to sacrifice himself and become a demon. However, the Nine Difficulties itself is a great virtue in the Buddhist country and has a benevolent nature. The path of the devil conflicts with his nature. Even if he becomes a devil, he still has some kind thoughts in his heart that he cannot get rid of. For the sake of the benevolent world in his heart, Jiu Nan resolutely separated out this kind thought, formed a seed of kind thought, hid it deep in his heart, and then officially started his career as a devil. Until his whereabouts were later exposed, a Ming king took action and seriously injured Jiu Nan. Jiu Nan escaped, but this seed of good thoughts was left behind by Jiu Nan and fell into the hands of the Buddha.

However, at that time, this seed of kind thoughts had been contaminated with a large amount of evil energy, and even powerful powers could not remove it.

In desperation, he had no choice but to cast this seed of kindness into reincarnation with the magic of stealing the sky and exchanging the sun, hoping that a hundred reincarnations would eliminate its evil spirit.

Even so, when this kind-hearted person woke up just now, he almost became a demon.

Finally, the last bit of spiritual thought from the Nine Difficulties was not lost, and the demonic energy was finally defeated, and only then could the old appearance be restored.

The Nine Difficulties at this moment can be regarded as the real, virtuous and eminent monk who has not fallen into the devil.

"So that's it." Tang Zixi sighed.

Never in his dreams did he expect that there was such a background behind the Nine Difficulties. Although thousands of years have passed, the sound of it still makes Tang Zixi feel ups and downs.

Suddenly remembering something, Tang Zixi said: "That's wrong. Calculating the time, Yu Chengzi seems to have used the magic of stealing the sky and changing the sun to enter the reincarnation of hundreds of lives. Without him, how would you be reincarnated?"

But the monk shook his head and said: "I never said that the magic of stealing the sky and changing the sun was performed by Yu Chengzi."

"Ah? Who else could it be?" Tang Zixi was stunned.

"Who else could it be?" The monk smiled slightly: "Of course he is a great being who, like Yu Chengzi, cannot see the true face of this world."

Tang Zixi was stunned at first, and her heart suddenly trembled.

She understood and blurted out:

"Buddha!"
