Chapter 819 The people of the Southern Dynasty were in distress, and Yang Xingzhou was hawking along
The entanglement between Fahai, Bai Suzhen, and Xu Xian started thousands of years ago, and it is full of a strong sense of fate. It feels like there is a pair of invisible giant hands behind them, and everything has been arranged in advance.
What is cause and effect?
If you feel there is cause and effect in your heart, then that is called cause and effect. If you don’t take it seriously, then what’s the point of cause and effect?
Just like Fahai and Bai Suzhen, if Fahai doesn't care about Bai Suzhen stealing his elixir in the past and lets go of his attachment and hatred, then for Fahai, this cause and effect will naturally disappear.
Only things that can be kept in the heart will be taken seriously. If the heart does not take it seriously, the matter will naturally disappear and become invisible.
Logically speaking, according to Fa Hai's cultivation state, the four elements have long been empty, without greed or hatred, and he has achieved the true enlightenment of Buddhism. How could he still be entangled in such big things?
Even Cheng Lingsu's teacher in Snow Mountain Flying Fox, Master Wu Ai, was able to achieve no anger, no anger, and no hatred in his heart when he passed away. Fa Hai, the abbot of Jinshan Temple, has cultivated his mind for thousands of years and polished himself. Isn't it possible that he still can't do it?
at this point?
In Yang Xingzhou's view, there is something very wrong with this. Either what Buddhism teaches today is not the true Dharma, it only teaches supernatural powers and does not cultivate the mind. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain why Fahai, an accomplished monk, clings to Bai Suzhen.
.
There is another reason, and that is because of Xu Xian.
In the story of The Legend of White Snake, the weirdest person is Xu Xian.
This person was originally an ordinary student who failed many tests. Later he became an apprentice in another drugstore. After marrying Bai Suzhen, he was still an ordinary person. Later, he mistakenly believed in Fahai's words and fed Bai Suzhen realgar wine, which caused Bai Suzhen to appear as a snake demon.
The truth was that Xu Xian was frightened to death on the spot.
At this time, Xu Xian was still an ordinary person, and one of the most timid ones.
After that, the White Snake broke into the Kunlun Mountains, stole the Lingzhicao, and swallowed it for Xu Xian. Then she broke into hell and took Xu Xian's soul. All of them were big things.
Although it was not as big as the demon king Sun Wukong who altered the Book of Life and Death and caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace in the past, it still violated the rules of heaven and broke the normal order. However, it did not trigger the wanted and pursuit of Heavenly Court afterwards, and no gods went out of their way to do this.
To come and cause trouble for Bai Suzhen.
There is a big problem here. Bai Suzhen is just a snake demon, causing so many things in heaven and earth, and no one cares about it?
No one would believe that there was nothing fishy inside. After thinking about it, Yang Xingzhou felt that whether it was Bai Suzhen stealing the fairy grass, Xu Xian being frightened to death, or Fahai collecting the demon, it was all arranged by certain people in advance, from beginning to end.
There is an air of conspiracy.
In the end, Fahai, Bai Suzhen, and Xu Xian ascended to the immortal world at the same time, which is even more unbelievable.
Fahai and Bai Suzhen can become immortals. It is not a bad thing. After all, they have practiced for thousands of years. When their skills are up, the opportunity is also there. It is reasonable to resolve the cause and effect and achieve the status of immortals.
However, it is a bit puzzling that Xu Xian, an ordinary person, could become a member of the Immortal Class and fly away in just twenty years of practice.
This time Yang Xingzhou used his heart to enlighten his heart and passed on the supreme Zen skills to Fa Hai. He may have unknowingly destroyed some arrangements made by some beings in advance.
"It doesn't matter! Even if I ruin some people's affairs, they can't do anything to me! It's amazing that they can drive me out of the world, but can they really kill me?"
Yang Xingzhou looked at Fa Hai, who was covered with Buddha's light in front of him, and silently reasoned in his mind: "Without the demon-subduing pestle and demon-slaying sword, Ji Dian and the others cannot kill the Eight Demons, nor can they kill Han Dian. Even if I am worse, I am no worse than Han Dian and the others."
There are too many. If Ji Dian can’t kill them, he can’t kill me! When I quietly find the Demon Subduing Pestle and the Demon Slaying Sword, hide them in the main world, and then make a fake pair to fool them. At the critical moment, I guarantee to scare them.
!”
Calculating in my mind, I sat quietly in the courtyard, drank tea and meditated.
After a long time, Fahai, who was suspended in the air, slowly opened his eyes. After landing, he stood up, walked to Yang Xingzhou, knelt on the ground, and bowed to the ground: "Fahai, thank you, sir, for teaching me the Dharma!"
Yang Xingzhou smiled and said: "You took a wrong step on the road. I'm glad you have found a way out. It will be successful soon. Congratulations!"
After Fahai stood up, he smiled and said: "Yes, the young monk is so happy today that he has never been in his life. I have been dreaming for a thousand years, and now I wake up from the dream. I am not me, I am still me!"
He laughed at Yang Xingzhou and turned away. Behind him, the green dragon Zen staff and the purple gold alms bowl turned into two balls of light, one green and one purple, and flew into his body.
Yang Xingzhou watched him take long strides and disappear into the courtyard, and laughed dumbly: "This monk suddenly changed from majestic to free and easy, and he really looked like an enlightened monk. But in this way, White Snake probably lost a big enemy."
Shortly after Fahai left, Yang Xingzhou left Hangzhou and went straight to Lin'an after settling down in his home.
At this time, the Southern Song Dynasty was in a corner of peace. Both the monarchs and the people had lost their fighting spirit. The Northern Expedition had become a utopia. The corruption of the whole people was accelerating. They just wanted to live in peace and no one wanted to fight.
Especially in the south, land annexation is serious, refugees are everywhere, the people are in poverty, and the government is weak, which has revealed the situation of the place in its twilight years.
"Later generations have always boasted that the Southern Song Dynasty was prosperous and the people lived well, but it's all nonsense! How many good people can there be in the Doomsday Dynasty?"
Yang Xingzhou had seen a lot of beggars from the city of Hangzhou. When he arrived in Lin'an, he found that there were also a lot of beggars in Lin'an. After all, Jiangnan was a land of plenty. Begging for food could at least give him a full meal and barely sustain his life. If he were in the north,
, a large number of refugees cannot find a place to beg for food even if they are begging for food.
"No wonder Han Dian was able to gather 120,000 ghosts and ghosts to form a formation of ten thousand ghosts. Judging from this situation, let alone the formation of ten thousand ghosts, the formation of one million ghosts probably won't take much effort!"
Yang Xingzhou walked all the way and saw many people dying of hunger in the hundreds of miles. The refugees were driven away by the officers and soldiers in groups, crying for their fathers and mothers. The situation was extremely miserable.
"Jidian is such a bastard that he takes care of the trivial affairs of people with status in the city every day, but he turns a blind eye to the tragic situation of this large number of refugees. Damn it, how can he be called a holy monk?"
Yang Xingzhou looked at the refugees all over the ground and thought of Monk Jidian, and he felt very disapproving.
When he was a child, he thought that Monk Jidian was a member of the grassroots community who could solve problems and resolve grievances for the people. But now it seems that all the people Jigong has helped have names, surnames, origins, and their family backgrounds are generally not very bad.
He is also a very popular person.
In particular, the local wealthy gentry, wealthy businessmen, and the leaders of the underworld were the first people that Jidian monk made friends with. These people made him famous, and it was difficult for him not to have a famous name as a holy monk.
Later, he made friends with the current prime minister Qin Xi, recited poems and wrote poems for him, and became the substitute for the current prime minister who became a monk in Lingyin Temple.
What is a substitute?
Qin Xi envied the monks for their carefree, pure nature, but he was a high-ranking official and was involved in worldly affairs, so he could not become a monk, so he asked Jigong to become a monk in his place.
In this way, Jidian can be regarded as his Buddhist substitute. Burning incense, worshiping Buddha, and meditating for him can be regarded as Qin Xi's attitude towards Buddhism.
Jidian was originally the reincarnation of Arhat who subdued the dragon, and had a very high status in Buddhism. This time he became the Buddhist substitute for Prime Minister Qin Xi, and his status in the secular world was also very noble. In this way, both the monks and the secular world would take over, and the wind would naturally
You can win as much as you want, and your reputation won't change even if you want.
"When I meet Jidian, I will ask him how he became such a holy monk!"
Yang Xingzhou stood in Lin'an City, watching the hungry people passing by on the street from time to time. He couldn't bear it. After thinking about it, he stretched out his hand and found a flag in his hand. It read: Guide the lost gentleman and awaken the long-stranded hero!
Then he changed his clothes and transformed into a Taoist priest, holding a banner and shouting along the street: "Sell opportunities, sell opportunities. Life is not satisfying, and it is difficult to miss opportunities. When time comes, heaven and earth all work together, and heroes are not free! Today
Come to Lai'an to sell the secrets of heaven and earth, and change the world into the sun!"
His shouting alarmed many people along the street, who all thought he was a crazy Taoist and ignored him. However, a beggar stood on the street and slowly walked up to Yang Xingzhou: "Taoist, what are you selling?"
Yang Xingzhou squinted his eyes and saw that the beggar was tall, with thick bones, a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, with a weathered look on his face. He had a lot of energy in his body, and his internal strength was not low, but he seemed to be injured, and his energy level was not low.
Impure.
Then he smiled and said: "What Pindao is selling is a chance of good fortune!"
The beggar said: "How can I sell it? How can I buy it?"
Yang Xingzhou said: "Give me a hundred generations of life, and I will give you a hundred generations of kingdoms."
The beggar said: "You are talking nonsense. I have no descendants, how can I give you a life for generations? You have no country, how can you give me a country?"
Yang Xingzhou smiled and said: "If you have no descendants, you have no wife, no country, and you have not conquered the country. How can a man accept the food that comes from his mouth? I will give you a chance, and you can take the rest yourself!"
