Chapter 458: Wukong Breaks His Obsession
All illusions disappeared like bubbles.
Xiao Mian appeared in a chaotic space that looked like a claustrophobic space, with no up and down, no black and white.
Because of his experience of seclusion in a claustrophobic space, Xiao Mian did not show the slightest sign of fear, but sat cross-legged and meditated in this void.
But this time, Xiao Mian was not meditating, but thinking about his life. Xiao Mian, who is now thirty years old, has practiced Taoism for twenty years. Throughout his life, the only thing that has always been bothering him is that his parents died because of him, which has become a demon in his heart.
Although Xiao Mian made a blood oath to his demon last time, the test in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Cave this time was this scene again, which aroused Xiao Mian's new thoughts.
If everything could start over again, would he really choose to change his fate?
No!
If he changed the past, he would fundamentally change the present.
That means: Xiao Mian may never have the opportunity to enter the world of cultivation again!
To redeem the death of his parents, he must completely erase his present self; to preserve his present self, he must accept the reality that his parents died because of him.
When Xiao Mian stood in the position he was in today, he was struggling to think about how to change the past scene. Fundamentally speaking, this was a kind of obsession - obsession becomes a demon!
The Buddha said: The source of all suffering is the suffering of not being able to obtain what you want!
In an instant, Xiao Mian was enlightened.
In a trance, there seemed to be a voice resounding through the space.
The result is born from the cause - the appearance is due to the cause - things are waiting for the reason to be completed - many from one - existence depends on emptiness - Buddha is achieved by people!
Xiao Mian suddenly opened his eyes, but found himself in a cave. Behind the cave, a Buddha statue was carved on the rock wall, and Xiao Mian was meditating in front of the Buddha.
Standing up, Xiao Mian turned and bowed to the stone Buddha.
Although Xiao Mian was somewhat uncomfortable with Buddhist monks because of the ghost head, he always had awe for the Buddha and the Buddhist truth.
Although Xiao Mian did not gain any magical powers when meditating in front of the Buddha this time, from the heart, Xiao Mian suddenly became clear about the things of the past. In this way, the only crack in Xiao Mian's Tao heart was also filled up, and his Tao heart was perfect from then on.
According to the Buddhist saying, Xiao Mian's actions this time are called - Wukong breaking the obsession!
Of course, Xiao Mian only had an epiphany, and he was far from reaching the realm of "getting rid of suffering and gaining happiness, returning to Nirvana" as the Buddhist said. After all, he was not a Buddhist.
After worshiping the stone Buddha, Xiao Mian turned around in the cave, but found that there was no door for entering and exiting the cave, but it seemed like a closed prison.
As his mind turned, Xiao Mian's body flashed with Buddha's light.
This tiny Buddha light was the Buddha light that Xiao Mian cultivated in seclusion in the confined space of Wanzong City after being inspired by the Dragon-Subduing Venerable.
Concentrating this Buddha light in his eyes, Xiao Mian took the opportunity to use the secret technique of "Spiritual Eyes" learned from the scholar to try to see the mechanism in the cave.
He didn't want to go around in a circle and get nothing.
His eyes returned to the stone Buddha again, and Xiao Mian's heart moved.
At this moment, Xiao Mian sat cross-legged with his back to the stone Buddha again, and then controlled himself to rise slowly, gradually merging with the stone Buddha. Just when Xiao Mian's figure and the shape of the stone Buddha almost overlapped, the Buddha light flashed, and Xiao Mian disappeared.
The next moment, Xiao Mian appeared in a new scene.
But before Xiao Mian could observe the surrounding environment, a warning sign was born in his heart. He looked intently and saw a beam of lightning flying from a distance, aiming directly at Xiao Mian.
Looking more closely, Xiao Mian was stunned.
The lightning was clearly a cultivator, and the man was also stunned when he saw Xiao Mian.
"It's you? How come you are here?"
"What the monk said is really funny! This time, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Cave was opened, and Xiao was naturally invited by the holy monk Ananda, so he came here reluctantly!"
The man was Fawu from Longhua Temple. Seeing that the other party was rude, Xiao Mian naturally would not give him a good face.
Fawu paused when he heard the words, and a fierce light appeared in the depths of his eyes.
In fact, according to Fawu's original intention, he had no ill will towards Xiao Mian and others. After all, the reason why Fawu was able to participate in this ranking battle was because the most outstanding disciple of Longhua Temple, Miao Monk Fayin, was possessed by a demon, and he had to replace him.
In other words, Fawu was still very grateful to the little holy monk and his protector in private!
But Fawu was at least a top-level Jindan cultivator, while Xiao Mian was only at the initial stage of Jindan. Now he dared to talk to Fawu so blatantly, which made Fawu unhappy and decided to teach this arrogant boy a lesson.
It wouldn't take much effort to teach a small Jindan cultivator a lesson!
Thinking of this, Fawu put his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name.
As Fawu moved, a ray of spiritual light emerged from the ten fingers of his hands, and the spiritual light of the ten fingers gathered together to form a thick spiritual energy sword. The next moment, as Fawu gestured, the spiritual energy sword rushed straight towards Xiao Mian.
Tsk!
Xiao Mian smiled disdainfully, but he was still ready.
The reason for disdain was that the spiritual energy sword emitted by Fawu was just a secret technique, not a Buddhist magical power like the Dharma Seal; the reason for being serious was that Fawu was, after all, a top-level Jindan cultivator, how could Xiao Mian take it lightly?
Taking out the Star Magnetic Sword, Xiao Mian poured all his true energy into it.
As the true energy continued to flow in, the spiritual energy groove in the middle of the Star Magnetic Sword's spine continued to extend forward, and after rushing out of the sword tip, it continued to extend.
At the same time, a chaotic sword light rushed out of the blade of the Star Magnetic Divine Sword. When the sword light condensed, it had transformed into a psychic lightsaber that was three feet long.
At this time, the spiritual sword sent by Fawu had also rushed to the front.
With a loud shout, Xiao Miantu held the Star Magnetic Divine Sword in his hand and used all his strength to split the sky and split the earth. He rounded his arms and slashed the Star Magnetic Divine Sword towards the spiritual blade.
The two swords clashed with a loud bang.
Although the psychic lightsaber extended by the Star Magnetic Divine Sword fell apart, the psychic blade issued by Fa Wu was also broken into pieces and no longer existed!
In one blow, they were evenly matched!
Fa Wu's expression was extremely ugly. In fact, when Xiao Mian took out the Star Magnetic Divine Sword, Fa Wu realized that he might have been overconfident. With the power of the mid-level magic weapon Flying Sword, as long as Xiao Mian's cultivation level was passable, it would really If Yuan can keep up, I'm afraid he'll be fine.
But Fa Wu never expected that Xiao Mian could handle it so easily!
However, immediately after, Fa Wu's expression changed slightly, he took a deep look at Xiao Mian, but ignored him, changed the direction, and galloped away.
Looking at the situation, it seemed as if something was chasing him from behind.
While Xiao Mian was in doubt, another escaping light struck.
When Xiao Mian saw the person clearly, he was startled again: the belated person in the light was suddenly the outstanding disciple of Cihang Jingzhai - the little nun Miaoshan!
"Eh? Why didn't you help stop that person?"
"Me? Stopping him? Why should I stop him?"
Xiao Mian rolled his eyes and muttered to himself angrily: Let a monk at the beginning of the golden elixir intercept a monk at the top level of the golden elixir. This girl can't think of it!
"If you don't help him stop him, how can he open that secret treasure by himself?" Miao Shan pursed his lips and said self-concernedly: "That person is real! He just wants to invite me. He opened the secret door with others, why did he run so fast? They didn't release the six-tusked white elephant to scare him this time..."
Xiao Mian was stunned when he heard this, but he was quite dumbfounded.
"Um..., little Master Miaoshan! How about I help you?"
"You?" After hearing this, the little nun Miaoshan looked Xiao Mian up and down, then shook her head like a rattle and said repeatedly: "No! No!"
"Why is this?" Xiao Mian showed a little more kindness in his words. Although he knew that the little nun Miaoshan was definitely much older than him, seeing the naivety of the other party, Xiao Mian couldn't help but think of his younger sister, and asked curiously: "Even that Dharma enlightenment can help you, Why can’t I, Xiao Qingyun, help you?”
"This... you have no Buddha nature!"
"Buddha nature?"
"The Ten Thousand Buddhas Spiritual Cave has over ten thousand secrets, but to open these secrets, you must use Buddha nature as a guide. If the Buddha nature is too low in level or too small in number, even if the secrets are discovered, you will not be able to open them. "The little nun Miaoshan had just said this, Xiao Mian had already stood up, raised his right hand, and manifested the remaining trace of Buddha nature around him. But because he was afraid that Miao Shan would dislike him because he had too little Buddha nature, Xiao Mian took it back as soon as he released it, and then asked repeatedly: "I also have Buddha nature, but I wonder if I can help the little master now?"
"You! Your Buddha nature..."
Miao Shan stared at Xiao Mian dumbfounded and hesitated to speak.
