Bang!
The broken vajra was nailed to the phantom on Master Xin Yuan’s body, instantly knocking him out of his body.
The stupa immediately flew high and covered it heavily!
Purple gold Buddha light envelopes the shadow.
The phantom exuding anger and demonic intent did not howl at all, but struggled even more angrily. The stupa also swayed left and right, and he roared loudly:
"If the world is not empty, I swear I will never become a Buddha!"
He has entered nirvana long ago, but the evil thoughts are not lingering. Now he just wants to wipe out all the people in the world and fulfill his last wish.
However, after being separated from the physical body, although the demonic shadow in the Sanskrit chant is still strong, it no longer has the ability to resist the stupa. While roaring, the momentum gradually weakened.
It’s just that the shadow solidified, sizzling like boiling water poured under the Buddha’s light, but it showed no intention of giving up.
The obsession was so deep that Wang Ba and Zhao Jie, who flew over, looked solemn.
Zhao Jie stayed in Wang Ba's Dao Domain and did not dare to come out. Although the demonic thoughts of Xin Yuan were controlled, the terrifying suction force coming from Master Xin Yuan's body showed no sign of stopping.
Wang Yan flew down in front of the stupa. Seeing that the evil thoughts in his heart were so firm, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
Lift your fingers to calculate.
A divination person knows the causes and consequences.
But it is much easier to predict the past than to predict the future.
Almost instantly, his eyes flashed slightly.
Then he saw tiny caves suspended like honeycombs in the cloudless sky.
Those are clearly real eyes.
It’s just that these real membrane eyes are so small that they don’t seem to attract anyone’s attention.
Only a trickle slowly flows out from these holes.
"Is this before the great flood?"
Wang Hao's heart moved.
The picture in front of me suddenly flashed.
The previously densely packed tiny black holes no longer existed, but instead, there was a hole the size of a millstone.
A large amount of water poured down from it.
But still no one cares.
Wang Yan, who saw this scene, already knew the future outcome, but he still couldn't help but think about it.
Soon, the hole expanded rapidly, and it could be vaguely seen that there seemed to be some kind of existence in the black hole that was constantly expanding the size of the hole.
At this time, the water flow was already astonishingly strong!
“It’s the world eater!”
Wang Hao's heart tightened, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He was still thinking that at the normal real membrane eye expansion speed, even if no one noticed it at first, Xituozhou would still be able to react and treat it in time.
Now it seems that it was the World Eaters from outside the world who discovered the real membrane eye here, and suddenly accelerated the expansion speed, which prevented the people of Xituozhou from reacting in time.
At this moment, there was a flash in front of my eyes, and an old monk with white eyebrows wearing a plain white checkered monk robe came across the sea. He seemed to have noticed something unusual, and flew out of the real membrane eye without hesitation. go out.
The floods are like mountains and seas, and they are pouring out.
Later, more monks came, but faced with the already huge membrane eyes, everyone was helpless. Some people tried to fill it with their own bodies, but to no avail.
Reminiscent of what Ci Wu said in the past, Wang Yan suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment:
"Master Xin Yuan rushed directly outside the boundary... No wonder Ci Wu said that he was missing. ”
What happens next is easy to guess.
The love has not returned for a long time. Without a leader, people's hearts are scattered. So some people want to escape, but some people can't let go. The monks in Xituozhou part ways.
The next scene also proved Wang Yan's conjecture.
The monks who stayed behind tried to build large ships and magical vessels to save people, food, etc.
Maybe it is not difficult to save only the people of one city and one country, but these monks are too greedy, or too compassionate, and want to save all the people who stayed in Xituozhou. .
Under normal circumstances, it is not impossible. If there is enough spiritual energy and the monks can recover their mana in time, it is possible to do this.
At this time, the white-browed old monk who had been out of bounds for a long time finally returned.
Compared to before, the monk's robes were messy and his breath was obviously much lower. He had obviously experienced a dusty battle.
But when he saw Xituozhou, which was about to be completely submerged, he felt deeply that it was his fault, and finally made a decision:
“The boundary membrane is damaged, and the floods come from here. We should make up for it with Dao domain!”
“But This is not enough. "
"The flood is derived from things outside the world. If I use my body as a shell and 'empty' as a bottle to absorb these things and spiritual energy from outside the world, I may be able to dissolve this flood. disaster, save the people!”
This method, if replaced by another monk, would never be possible, simply because the amount of spiritual energy a monk can bear is limited, and even a Void Refining monk cannot absorb it without limit.
However, the essence of cultivation in "Yuan Kong Wu Xiang" is nothingness, emptiness.
Since everything is empty, it is naturally enough to accommodate all things.
The white-browed old monk did not hesitate at all, and immediately used his body to fill the membrane eyes. At the same time, he used his own Tao domain to forcibly absorb the chaotic source matter and the overflowing spiritual energy inside and outside.
The Dao realm was instantly fused with the boundary membrane.
Perhaps it was because the chaotic source of energy and the vast amount of spiritual energy he was constantly absorbing fed back to him and the boundary membrane, so that even though he was integrated into the world, he did not disappear directly like others, but barely preserved his consciousness and body.
Although as the Dao realm merged with heaven and earth, his consciousness eventually died.
But at the end of his life, he discovered that everything did not develop in the direction he imagined.
The membrane eye has not been completely filled, but is still expanding.
A lot of water washed out.
What is even more desperate is that as his realm merges with heaven and earth, his suction of the source of chaos and spiritual energy also rapidly increases, until he sucks up all the spiritual energy in the entire West Tuo Continent and even beyond...
< br>Ci Lu, Cizhao... these juniors who he watched grow up entered nirvana one by one because their aura no longer existed and their magic power was exhausted.
After mortals lost their shelter, they also died in large numbers.
At the end of his life, he only had deep guilt and self-doubt in his heart.
Did he do something wrong?
With such confusion and pain, Xin Yuan finally entered nirvana.
But the last question was reborn in his body.
Hundreds of years later, I was awakened by the visit of two monks...
'Hu——'
Wang Hao gently stopped his fingers and stopped looking back. .
There was a hint of sigh and pity in the eyes looking at Xin Yuan Mo Nian.
He already roughly understood what happened to Xin Yuan.
To put it into perspective, it is somewhat similar to the tram problem mentioned in previous lives.
There is one person on one side and five or more people on the other side. Who lives and who dies on both sides depends entirely on the choice of the heart.
If one party lives, the other party dies.
The difference is that the situation Xin Yuan faces is that on one side there are a large number of mortals, and on the other side there are monks and descendants who are closer to him.
The conditions are also more ambiguous.
In Wang Yan's view, Xin Yuan's original choice cannot be miscalculated. Chasing the world eater and killing the world eater is solving the problem from the source. After returning, he can fill his eyes with his body and absorb the source of chaos at the same time. To prevent the flood from spreading further, it can be said to be a thoughtful and generous death.
The only thing that can be criticized is that as the leader of Xituozhou, he went into danger alone without making arrangements for his funeral, causing Xituozhou to fall apart and fight on their own. An important person responsible for getting to this point.
But no one is capable of making mistakes, and the situation is urgent. Xituozhou has been in peace for a long time, so it is understandable that we could not take it into consideration.
It's just that God is not as good as man. The real membrane eye was not solved because the heart connection filled the eye with the body. On the contrary, it was the monks of Xituozhou who extracted the spiritual energy due to the heart connection, which affected the fish in the pond and eventually died one after another.
If you look at it at the time, this was naturally no choice but a last resort.
But when the heart condition is derived from the effect, the situation is different.
If at the beginning, he did not choose to go out of the world to kill the world eaters, fill his eyes, and absorb spiritual energy to save mortals, but instead led a group of monks to find another place to live, wouldn't these descendants of the monks? No need to die?
He saved a group of people out of compassion, but also indirectly killed the younger generations who trusted him. After all, is he a Buddha or a demon?
This is a question without an answer.
Because everyone’s answers and standards are different.
The only trouble is that maybe because the consciousness is about to disappear, Xin Yuan, who is on the verge of the end of his life, is trapped in this problem, and finally a wisp of evil thoughts is born.
Thinking of this, Wang Hao looked at the angry and roaring shadow covered by the stupa, with a little unbearable in his eyes.
In his opinion, kindness and compassion are very advanced talents, but not everyone can control such talents. If the ability is limited, they will often be harmed by this talent.
Even a generation of eminent monks and virtuous men like Master Xin Yuan have suffered from compassion. Although they have made great sacrifices, they are still trapped in the dilemma of moral torture. Even after entering nirvana, they still find it difficult to sleep peacefully.
It has nothing to do with the Taoist mind.
Perhaps only compassionate people can have so many worries and pains.
Although he does not agree with such a concept, it is difficult for him to hate such people.
As if aware of the pity in Wang Hao's eyes, the demonic shadow in the stupa suddenly stopped struggling and allowed the Buddha's light to shine on him, making a sizzling sound like burning, but he seemed to He was completely unaware, staring at Wang Yan with a hint of anger, unwillingness and pain:
"Do you also think that Xin Yuan has done something wrong?"
"Do you also agree that I can make up for my mistakes with my own hands?"
Wang Hao shook his head slightly and suddenly whispered:
"No matter what the master chooses, the result will be the same."
The demonic figure was slightly startled.
"If he chooses to let it go and escape with only the monks from the Buddhist kingdom, the great master will still suffer for the rest of his life because he failed to stop the great flood in the past, causing the land of Xituozhou to sink and all sentient beings to die."
Wang Ba calmly said:
"Or, take the monks to rescue the monks in various Buddhist countries in time, but who can save them all? There will always be missed mortals. Under a major disaster, there will always be meeting Some people are going to die, and there is no way to avoid it... Since there is no way to avoid it, with the great master's kindness and compassion, and the desire to protect lives, I am afraid that I will still live in pain for the rest of my life."
"That's what I'm going to do. No matter what choice you make, wouldn’t the result be the same for a master?”
“It’s just more or less pain, but there is no essential difference.”
The demonic shadow froze in place, and the movement of struggle could not help but become smaller.
Muttered to himself: "The results...are the same?"
But he woke up instantly and shook the stupa like a madman, with a blazing demonic intention. Staring at Wang Ba, he shouted angrily:
"You lied to me! So many people died because of me, how can this be the same!"
"If I didn't absorb the spiritual energy around me, the disciples of the Buddha Kingdom should have been able to protect myself and mortals, instead of the current situation... they all entered nirvana! All entered nirvana!"
Wang Yan brows Slightly wrinkled.
This is also the biggest crux of this problem.
Xinyuan’s approach was not simply to choose who would live or die. He wanted to save everyone, but in the end, his decision caused even more tragic losses.
So in terms of results, if Xin Yuan had chosen other methods, even if it was inaction, the results might have been much better than now.
The later Master Xin Yuan obviously realized this himself, so he was even more unable to accept this fact.
But for the old monk in front of him, he couldn't bear to say it even though he had words on his lips.
"Master, none of us have ever blamed you..."
Zhao Jie saw that his admired Xin Yuan had now become like this, he couldn't help but look sad, and stepped forward to bow his head. Sounds of comfort.
But there was only the angry roar of the demonic shadow.
The Buddha's light from the stupa shines brightly on the shadow of the evil thoughts, but it is still unable to transform it. Instead, the shadow of the evil thoughts is getting closer to Xin Yuan's body, as if it is about to return again.
After noticing this scene, Wang Ba's heart froze. His thoughts suddenly turned around and he suddenly said in a deep voice:
"Xituo Continent is like today, and the great master will not blame those who eat the world. , but instead he blamed himself for all the reasons. I am a little arrogant."
The demonic shadow paused after hearing this, and then stared at Wang Yan again, with a hint of confusion on his face:
"...you. , what do you want to say? ”
Facing the other party's gaze, Wang Hao calmly replied:
"Since the master is integrated with the world, he must also be able to feel the situation outside the world. The world is declining, and the alien beasts outside the world are the world eaters. , who has been spying on the Xiaocang Realm for many years. Even if the flood disaster is not on Xituo Continent, but on Fenglin Continent and Huangji Continent, with the participation of those who eat the world, it will definitely be an unstoppable catastrophe."
< br>"The great scholar wants You use your own power to save the common people in the dawn, but you don’t know that there are many sixth-level world eaters outside the world waiting to share this plate of delicious food in the Kokura world. Do you think that you can stop the catastrophe by yourself? Are there so many world-eaters outside the world? "
"What do you think of the many virtual cultivators in the Xiaocang world?"
"They don't dare to have such delusions!" br>
"If the master really has this intention, Wang has only four words to send him..."
"You don't know your own abilities!"
"Tan Yue!"
Photos on the side But Jie couldn't bear it and shouted angrily in a low voice to stop him.
Even if he vaguely guessed that the present day of Xituozhou was closely related to the master Xin Yuan of the past, he still couldn't bear the humiliation of the other party by Wang Ba.
In the stupa, it suddenly became quiet at this moment.
The shadow of the demonic thoughts stood blankly under the Buddha's light, and the demonic thoughts around him rose like smoke under the purification of the Buddha's light. However, he was completely unaware of it and muttered a few words in his mouth blankly:< br>
“Since You don't know what you can do...you don't know what you can do..."
Sometimes he frowned, sometimes he glared, sometimes he laughed...
With these words, the demonic intention on the demonic shadow, It dissipated little by little.
The furrowed brows slowly smoothed away, and the ferocious face gradually became peaceful.
He crossed his legs, lowered his head and clasped his hands.
The cracks on the giant Buddha statue behind him quietly closed, and the evil spirit dissipated wailing.
A little auspicious red mole regenerated between the eyebrows of the physical body of Xuying and Master Xinyuan.
Pure white Buddha light emerges from the back of the two heads, just like the Buddha's sudden enlightenment, washing away the lead!
"This, this..."
Zhao Jie looked at the demonic shadow in disbelief, then turned to look at Wang Hao, his eyes full of disbelief.
This is clearly a sign of becoming a Buddha!
But...he was clearly cursing Master Xinyuan just now, how could he...
The stupa seemed to have noticed something, was slightly shocked, and actually left the demonic shadow directly , hovering slightly in mid-air, seeming to be talking to the demonic shadow.
The shadow of the demonic thoughts was shrouded in pure white Buddha light, holy and pure, completely different from the monstrous demonic thoughts just now.
He nodded slightly, his eyes seemed to have countless scriptures flowing, and he looked sideways to the east, as if he had seen something. He slowly spoke, and the Buddha's voice vibrated:
"Go, the catastrophe is coming. , Master Nephew Ciwu has found a successor for me, and it needs you even more."
The stupa seemed to be reluctant to waver towards the shadow of the demonic thought, and then flew straight to the east.
Wang Yan was thoughtful when he saw this scene.
However, Zhaojie was so excited that he could not speak:
"Master, have you, have you already..."
"I have attained the Tao."
The shadow of evil thoughts, no, the shadow of heart is smiling slightly, full of peace and tranquility , then looked at Wang Yan, sitting cross-legged in mid-air, clasped his hands and bowed:
"Thank you for your enlightenment, little friend. Xin Yuan has committed a Buddhist taboo before, 'self-grasping' is too heavy, little friend, these four This word is like a wake-up call, and my heart has been taught a lesson.”
Wang Ba did not avoid it, but accepted the gift calmly.
Ego is to be too obsessed with one's own shortcomings and take everything about oneself too seriously.
The reason why Master Xin Yuan falls into such pain is that he realizes that he is not responsible for the world, and attributes the good and bad of Xituozhou to his own choices. Once he realizes, In fact, he is just one of the many living beings, and the general trend of the world will not be different because of his choices, so this kind of pain will fundamentally cease to exist.
Because his choice is not important. No one can be spared from the catastrophe of heaven and earth.
What Wang Yan did was to point out this point.
But he was also a little curious:
"The current situation of the master is..."
The shadow of the heart did not hide it, and said calmly:
"I should now It’s time to reach nirvana.”
“But if we talk about it in Feng Linzhou, maybe I can be considered ascension.”
Wang Hao was slightly startled:
"What's the explanation?"
Zhao Jie, who was standing by, had admiration and envy in his eyes, and explained in a low voice:
" We, the monks in Xituozhou, are slightly different from you monks. If we practice normally, , when you reach the sixth level, you can be led to the catastrophe of ascension and go to the upper realm. However, those with deep Buddha roots will be guided by the 'reception pool' in the upper realm after entering nirvana, and then start the next life..."
Wang Yan couldn't help but look shocked and couldn't help but said:
"Then anyone can..."
Zhao Jie seemed to have guessed what Wang Ba wanted to say, shook his head and said:
"From Buddha to demon, from demon to Buddha... But It can be regarded as a shortcut, but few people can take it...but Tan Yue can give it a try.”
“Yes, my little friend’s Buddha nature is not as good as that of my disciple who I have never met, but he is also a rare kind-hearted person. If you are willing to join my Buddhist sect, I can be your teacher. Accept a disciple."
Xinyuan Xuying said with a faint smile.
Wang Ba reacted, looked at the other party, and asked seriously:
"Did the master also see the great disaster in the future? Can you tell me where this disaster came from?"
Xinyuan Xuying shook his head slightly when he heard the words:
“I don’t want to say it, but I really can’t see through it. I only know that this catastrophe is sweeping across the entire Kokura Realm. No one in the continents is spared, but I don’t know where it comes from.”
“But the catastrophe will come. Worrying is useless. The so-called disasters are only inside and outside the world. Even if you insist on knowing, what can you do? ”
"Sometimes, you need to relax and just move forward."
Wang Yan was startled, but at this moment he suddenly woke up.
He has always been concerned about the great catastrophe of heaven and earth mentioned by Xuan Yuanzi, but it has actually slowed down his own practice.
But as long as you are powerful enough, you can bear all kinds of disasters on your own.
“Thank you, Master, for your advice.”
The shadow of Xin Yuan smiled and said nothing, and his figure gradually became more erratic and illusory.
“Master!”
Zhao Jie looked surprised.
Xinyuan Xuying’s face was calm:
“I was originally a wisp of demonic thoughts. Now that the demonic thoughts are no longer there, and I suddenly become a Buddha, it should be the time for Nirvana, but...”< br>
He glanced at Wang Ba and Zhao Jie with a look of contemplation on his face, and then he threw himself directly into the body of Xin Yuan with a cave crawling in the chest next to him.
At this moment, the demonic thoughts and the body became one, and Xin Yuan immediately opened his eyes and pushed the vajra in front of Zhao Jie.
"Please give this treasure to my disciple on my behalf."
Zhao Jie quickly took it with both hands. As for the 'disciple', he is obviously the one far away in Beihai Island. A reincarnated Buddha.
Although the other party has clearly never seen it and should not know about it, it is natural for a being who has attained enlightenment to possess such powers.
Then Xin Yuan took out another cloth bag and handed it to Zhao Jie:
"These are the treasures of my Xituo Continent over the years. Please keep them for me. You can take any of the treasures."
Zhao Jie looked shocked and was about to refuse, but feeling Xin Yuan's gaze, he solemnly accepted.
Xin Yuan nodded with satisfaction, then turned his eyes to Wang Ba.
The peaceful eyes seemed to have seen something, and he frowned slightly:
"I can't do anything about the problems my little friend is encountering now..."
He looked thoughtful, then reached out and took out an unusual-looking stone bead from his plain white monk's robe.
With a flick, it fell into Wang Ba's hands.
Wang Yanwei was a little surprised:
“This is...”
Xin Yuan calmly said:
"This is the fifth-order sea pearl, which may be able to solve part of your problems."
"The fifth-order sea pearl?"
Wang Hao's heart moved.
There are actually two in the sect, one in Taihe Palace and one in Chunyang Palace.
It's just that the energy in the two sea beads has been exhausted a long time ago, and he doesn't know when they can be used again, so he has never used the fifth-level sea beads.
Thinking of the previous problems that Yuanci Taoists had been unable to escape from, he suddenly had an idea.
I was not polite and accepted the treasure immediately.
Just as he was about to thank him, Xin Yuan’s body suddenly shook, and the Xin Yuan shadow actually flew out again, and landed in front of Wang Hao in an instant, raising his hand and landing on his shoulder. .
"Tuas..."
Wang Ba and Zhao Jie's expressions changed at the same time.
But the next moment, Xin Yuan Phantom raised his hand, and Zhao Jie staggered. After a gust of wind, he was shocked to find that he was already standing on the coast where he had just set foot on Xituozhou!
Looking up, where can I see Master Xinyuan and Wang Yan?
At the same time.
Outside the vast and dark world of Ogura.
In an extremely tiny, constantly creeping cave on the boundary membrane.
A figure suddenly flew out of the cave, surrounded by a pure white Buddha light, and then landed above the cave. (End of this chapter)
