Chapter 530 Jin Hai Enlightenment of Zen
“Ah, no, this is wrong...”
“Stay, as long as you keep it, all problems can be solved...”< br>
The desire in Zen Master Zhiyu’s eyes kept rolling, but there was still a trace of clarity struggling.
It’s just that he is struggling and appears extremely fragile in the face of the ever-expanding desires.
The scriptures in the alms bowl once again appeared with a faint golden light, the light was soft, and the faint Sanskrit sound once again wanted to protect Zen Master Zhiyu and overcome his desires.
But at the moment when the golden light rose, the copper coin in the statue suddenly trembled, and the worldly desires flowed out of it, suppressing the Buddha's light and corrupting the scriptures. It was like a demon wearing a cassock. Although the Buddha's light was spread all over, The power was shining like a golden sun, reflecting the sacred face of Zen Master Zhiyu, but the golden light that gradually became thicker and heavier like mercury was like a virus, distorting the essence of Zen Master Zhiyu bit by bit.
I also thought that Zen Master Zhiyu, who was protected by his seniors, put his hands together and silently recited the sutras, but he did not realize that the sutras he was chanting were changing from the original purity, peace, and tranquility to greed, anger, and corruption.
Moreover, in these days, many desires to worship in front of the statue of the Immortal of Wealth have also emerged.
Traders doing large and small businesses, with more or less greed, kowtow to the statues and pray for wealth.
People with poor families, with more or less extravagant hopes, bow to the gods, praying for family harmony and prosperity.
Plowing and reading the family tradition is to pray to the gods to have many children and good fortune, and to become talented officials.
Scenes of bizarre scenes came one after another, and the various aspects of life contained in them were assimilated by the golden sea, and then turned into waves, filling Zen Master Zhiyu’s heart, making him unable to tell whether he was watching everything or he was Awakening to the past.
Chu Tai, who saw all this intuitively, secretly marveled at the power of this copper coin.
The desire in this golden sea seems to be influenced by the desire of all living beings to worship. In fact, those things are also transactions.
These transactions are all conducted in Faguang Temple. Zen Master Zhiyu is the defender and person in power here. He is inseparable from everything here. Therefore, although Zen Master Zhiyu is not present in every transaction, he is affected. slight impact.
To put it more clearly, Zen Master Zhiyu benefited from every transaction, and he also made a transaction with copper coins that he did not even know about.
And now, the copper coins are using the traces left by these transactions to project those desires into Zen Master Zhiyu's heart.
The best thing is that the black stone alms bowl itself fell into the hands of the Li family in a transaction in Faguang Temple and was sent to Zen Master Zhiyu.
Everything has something to do with that copper coin. Although it is not big, but when added together, it has occupied about one-tenth of Zen Master Zhiyu's Qi, destiny, magic power and foundation.
From this point of view, there is no big problem in saying that these scenes are the predecessor of Zen Master Zhiyu.
‘If one could sort out these mixed and chaotic memories, differentiate and reorganize the desires and emotions in them, it would be equivalent to the monk having experienced thousands of reincarnations without knowing it, and accumulated countless mental powers in vain. But if he cannot sort out these chaotic thoughts and desires, then these things will be like a huge millstone, which will continue to wear away, crush, and crush his original will and memory, causing him to completely sink into desire. '
Chu Tai looked at Zen Master Zhiyu struggling in the golden sea and concluded: 'The most amazing thing is that this is also a transaction...'
As he spoke, Chu Taishun Looking at "Yuan", he looked at another room, in which sat an old monk whose Qi, fate, mana, and foundation had all been replaced. He was silently reciting the scriptures about the Immortal of Fortune and silently praying for Zen Master Zhiyu's happiness. These people died so that he could inherit the position of presiding.
‘From the first transaction, this guy was stuck in the mud and couldn’t escape. I really don’t know what this guy’s expression will be like when he finds out that everything he owns belongs to someone else. Maybe he doesn't care who owns Faguang Temple? As long as it doesn’t belong to Zen Master Zhiyu? ’
Chu Tai was a little curious about the monk's thoughts. After observing silently for a while, he looked at Zen Master Zhiyu's changes. At this time, his Qi, destiny, mana and foundation were eroded by about one-tenth, and 20% were dissipated. , making it difficult for him to distinguish between true and false.
Through the changes, Chu Tai saw clearly more of the methods of copper coins.
'It seems that the master who derived the power of copper coins regards the progress of the other party under the influence of his own power as experience. According to his logic, the affected person can progress because he provides a higher level A platform, a better practice environment, and more training. Therefore, the progress of those affected also has part of his credit, and part of the strength should be given to him. '
'What's interesting is that when the power of the affected person is further interfered with and affected, resulting in mistakes, all punishments are borne by the affected person himself, and the copper coins that previously divided the interests bear no responsibility. On the contrary, Zen Master Zhiyu, as the affected person, needs to pay part of his cultivation as compensation. '
'The best thing is that in this process, the copper coins and the dirt on them are not only the influencers, but also the recipients of compensation, and the managers who make rewards and punishments. This wonderful idea can actually Turning into a part of Tao Fruit is really unimaginable...'
As Chu Tai lamented, the problems faced by Zen Master Zhiyu became more and more serious. His power was further invaded, and he could only continue to recite scriptures to maintain his sanity.
‘Although you should be able to see more information if you observe again, this Zen master probably can’t hold on anymore. ’
Chu Tai’s mind moved, and a little Buddha’s light flew out, following the rhythm of Zen Master Zhiyu’s chanting scriptures, and blended into his eyebrows.
In an instant, a faint ray of wisdom emerged from Zen Master Zhiyu’s eyebrows, combined with the Buddha’s light, and turned into a golden flame, and then blossoming karma red lotuses bloomed in it, pieces of bright red. On the refining petals is a strange red and black karma fire, spreading outward along the surrounding desires.
The Buddha's light turned on the black stone alms bowl, trying to stop the fire of karma from burning. However, as soon as the two came into contact, the golden light melted instantly, the Buddha's light dimmed, and the wish power surrounding the surface of the Wealth Immortal statue enshrined in Faguang Temple also turned into The flaming treasure wheel frightened countless people around it, but they also felt inexplicably blessed, and they all kowtowed.
New wishes and distracting thoughts fell into it, following the connection and trying to influence Zen Master Zhiyu again.
But this time, the Zen master clasped his hands and recited the scriptures silently. He seemed to feel a huge ancient bell. Under the ancient bell sat a very illusory Buddha, and the Buddha's light was also illusory. , but contains boundless compassion and Zen, spanning the past, present and future.
Zen Master Zhiyu clasped his hands together and said loudly: "Namo Amitabha!"
As the Buddha's trumpet sounded, thousands of Buddha's lights mingled around him, peaceful and solemn, and brought waves of clear and high spirits. The wonderful rhyme of the Sanskrit sounds made the dirt on the copper coins dissipate continuously. At the same time, among the numerous Sanskrit sounds, a very weak bell rang, and then in the statue of the God of Fortune, the dirt on the surface of the copper coin shook, and then wisps of karmic fire surrounded it and began to burn.
The dirt that felt threatened naturally wanted to resist, and strands of strange aura spread outwards. All those who benefited from it felt a twisted power falling on themselves.
"What's going on?"
Many of the monks who traded Yinde and Lingguang felt something was wrong when the Caixian statue changed, so they secretly hid together to discuss it. At this time, they only It felt as if a red-hot iron had been inserted into my brain and stirred up. The pain was unbearable, and there was also the pain of being burned.
And in that room, the monk who longed for the death of Zen Master Zhiyu even burned up.
It's just that the flames burning on his body are strange. They only burned him and did not leave any traces of burning on other things.
In addition to the previous appearance of the statue, everyone either went to observe it or had severe head pain. No matter how hard the monk struggled, no one went there.
The monk was so painful that he could only pray to the Immortal of Wealth again, but with his will power, he was immediately affected by the copper coin, and the dirt loss completely swallowed it up, allowing him to continue his existence for two or three more moments. time.
"Open the jade lock and get out of the cage, leave the golden sea and realize the vacuum. It is really a dream in the void, thank you senior for saving me."
Zen Master Zhiyu clasped his hands together and faced Chu Tai's I prayed in the direction again and again.
“It’s your own ability that can break through greed and get out of the sea of desire. If you are willing to perish, I have great supernatural powers that reach the heavens and the earth, and even the great magic power cannot pull you out. What’s more, The owner of the Buddha’s light is not me either.”
Chu Tai walked out slowly, looked at Zen Master Zhiyu and briefly introduced his identity, and said that someone had prepared that bit of Buddha light in advance. If you want to thank him, just thank him. There is no need to say thank you to him.
When Zen Master Zhiyu saw Chu Tai’s cultivation, he was surprised and a little curious about how Chu Tai could solve his problems.
After listening to the explanation, Zen Master Zhiyu clasped his hands together and said with emotion: "Although the senior wanted to save the poor monk, it was Shanren who actually rescued the poor monk. Naturally, he has to thank one or two, but... "
Halfway through the words, the Zen master looked in the direction of his junior brother. He could vaguely feel the previous changes. Knowing that his junior brother had turned into ashes, he sighed.
“With constant greed, anger and delusion, and endless desires in his heart, my junior brother thought he had found a shortcut, but he didn’t know that it might also be a trap. It’s sad and deplorable...”
When Chu Tai heard this, he shook his head and said: "Although your junior brother has trouble getting rid of the distracting thoughts in his heart, this result is not his problem alone. The black hand hidden behind the statue is the core of the problem."
said Then, Chu Tai asked as if unintentionally.
“I would like to ask the Zen master if he knows the origin of the Immortal of Fortune statue? Why does it bring such troublesome consequences, confuse people’s minds, and steal the vitality and fate of all living beings.”
Zen Master Zhiyu was silent for a while and said: "I don't know much about this matter. I only know that it is an order passed down by the imperial court. It seems to be to use this Qingli Caishen to further expand wealth, commerce, transactions, etc. Further expand the relevant Taoist principles.”
Speaking of this, Zen Master Zhiyu added: “I have also heard that the Qingli Caixian wanted to use this opportunity to break through to the third level. Whether it is true or false is unknown.”
"Breaking through the third level?"
Chu Tai was really shocked this time. He looked at Zen Master Zhiyu in disbelief and said, "I remember that it has not been a hundred years since this Immortal of Fortune achieved the fourth level. Well, you can try to break through to the third level so soon? The foundation is solid..."
Halfway through, Chu Tai thought of something, and Zen Master Zhiyu said: "It seems that Shanren has understood that the imperial court Bian spread his faith at this time and asked us to enshrine his statue in order to help him gather the power of incense and wish, and expand the corresponding concepts to facilitate his subsequent breakthrough to the third level realm. However, this senior has obviously been tricked. Put..."
"You mean, these changes in front of you are not affected by the Taoist fruit of this Qingli Caishen?"
Although Chu Tai saw the dirt and dirt on the copper coins, The copper coin is not a Taoist Fruit, but someone is plotting against Qingli Wealth Immortal Yang Wenjing, but this is the result of the traces he explored and deduced with the help of the protection of Donghuang Bell and the power of [Yun Zhongjun].
What did the Zen master in front of me rely on to come to such a conclusion?
Zen Master Zhiyu explained: "This Qingli Caishen once came to Faguang Temple. He did not give alms to us and other temples at that time, but showed us how to make money and several ways to survive. And with this In exchange for this, we hope that we can protect the surrounding mountain people and the Baiyun Temple lineage. At the same time, we are required to make an oath that whenever we see people who cannot survive, we will give them a porridge and a meal, and teach them some survival skills. "
"Although we have been doing these things, the specific implementation still depends on the harvest of the year and the savings in the temple. Before meeting this fortune immortal, I went to Faguang Temple. It is far less magnificent than it is now, but it is thanks to his methods that it is now prosperous. It is also because of the agreement with him that it has a lot of good reputation."
"If it is according to what the Zen Master said. If it is done, then although what Caixian did was a good deed, it should not be called Faguang Temple's reputation because of the agreement with him."
Chu Tai's words made the Zen master smile: " In the past, I might have told myself this, but it is different today.”
Taking two steps outside, Zen Master Zhiyu looked at the splendid temple and said, "I still have desires that I can't see through, let alone the other disciples in the temple. They will not deduct a few taels of silver. They will not Deliberately delaying, or collecting kickbacks?”
“Even with past agreements and my orders, after their desires amplified and they found an excuse to be influenced by the gods, they did the opposite. How can I say that we can stick to our original ideas without an agreement?"
As he spoke, a faint Buddha's light appeared on the Zen master's body, and there was also a light of wisdom between his eyebrows. He smiled and said: " In the final analysis, doing good can only last if it comes from the heart, otherwise it can only be done with the help of external supervision. Therefore, I should not have brought the statue in at the beginning, and I should not have thought about suppressing it after discovering the problem. It should be regarded as a kind of tempering."
As he spoke, Zen Master Zhiyu formed a seal with his hands and whispered: "I hope that with this merit, I will adorn the Buddha's Pure Land... If anyone sees it, Develop bodhicitta..."
