Mirroring the changes

After going down the mountain to experience this, Lichen's biggest gain was to discover his own shortcomings.

Since the beginning of his practice, he understood the "Dionysian Chapter" from the "Blood Transformation Sutra".

After that, he became a disciple of Qu Huanbo, a wine addict, and learned the wine condensation method "Bringing", officially entering the innate world.

From then on, "considering" and "intoxicating" were all methods of drinking.

Native wood brews water, fire, gold, and jade liquid make up the small universe.

The wine path contains yin and yang, which are combined into the five elements. It is actually the way of nature.

Coupled with the majestic and majestic Zen secret method.

Since I left the world to practice, I have rarely encountered bottlenecks.

But also because the road was too smooth, there was a lack of precipitation.

Therefore, he firmly decided to practice in seclusion.

The next day, Li Chen went to the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion to visit Master Mi Jian.

When Zen Master Mi Qian saw Li Chen, his face was also full of excitement.

Who can best witness the rise and fall of Sesshou Temple?

Who else could this master be?

From the time of the fifth generation abbot, Shasheng Temple was the leader of southern Xinjiang. By the time of the seventh generation abbot, the temple had to be closed.

He has always lived in seclusion at the highest level of the Sutra Pavilion.

True sweeping monk.

What made Li Chen curious was that this master looked even a few years younger than his master, Zen Master Loneliness.

I think if you succeed in cultivation, you will stay young forever.

"Amitabha."

"Not bad, not bad!"

Master Mi Jian looked up and down at the young monk in front of him, his eyes already slightly moist.

Unexpectedly, one day, I would be able to watch a guru emerge from the Sesshou Temple.

"I originally thought that the seventh-generation abbot Huizhuo was my most excellent Zen disciple of the Sasho Temple."

"It's a pity that he missed some opportunities back then. In the end, he was seriously injured and missed the opportunity to establish a clan."

"I thought I would never wait until that day in this life."

"I didn't expect, I didn't expect that you would be able to fulfill the seventh generation abbot's wish!"

"It's really the Buddha's blessing."

Having said this, he clasped his hands piously and bowed deeply to the void.

Speaking of the seventh-generation Abbot Lichen, he suddenly remembered the 'Nirvana Pill' that Abbot Zhenxin said when he was at Landa Temple.

Back then, Abbot Huizhuo had a verbal battle with the monks at the auspicious ceremony, but in the Zen forest, he was assassinated by the "Hurei Qin" of Daleiyin Temple.

When he was dying, he took the 'Nirvana Pill' from Landa Temple.

This nirvana pill is made from the grass where Buddha sat down for nirvana.

True rebirth, false nirvana.

It is both a holy medicine and a poison.

After eating it, no matter how much damage you suffer, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, you can immediately return to life, just like the Buddha who came to Nirvana.

But because of this, his name also entered the book of life and death of the King of Hell.

As long as the time is up, he will die.

But Zen Master Vacuum also said that there is no definite estimate of how long one can live after taking the Nirvana Pill.

According to the records of Landa Temple, the shortest one is that after taking the Nirvana Pill, you will die within seven days.

The longest one lived in good health for thirteen years before dying without any illness.

Time is different for everyone, but they have one thing in common.

Relics can be obtained after death.

Even if the cultivation level is not enough and the Zen nature is not enough, the relics can still be obtained after the body is cremated.

This kind of relic is different from ordinary relics. It does not have the Buddhist aura of the eminent monk.

But it at least contains a kind of Buddhist inheritance during his lifetime.

I think it's also because of the 'Nirvana Pill'.

Two hundred years ago, since Abbot Huizhuo took the 'Nirvana Pill', it stands to reason that he should have passed away long ago.

But Zen Master Yishi said that the seventh-generation abbot is still in retreat.

Li Chen couldn't help but feel very confused, so he asked: "Master, I wonder where the Seventh Generation Abbot is now?"

Zen Master Mi Jian did not doubt that he was there, and just muttered: "Amitabha."

"Oh, it's a lucky coincidence."

"At the Auspicious Dharma Festival, I was brutally beaten by Daleiyin Temple. Fortunately, the abbot of Landuo Temple came to my rescue, so I managed to return to Shasheng Temple and immediately announced the closure of the temple."

"But as a result, he suffered extremely serious internal injuries and had no choice but to practice in seclusion."

"I only come out every few years."

"The last time you left seclusion was ten years ago. At that time, you had not yet entered the temple."

"Basically, the next time I'm out of seclusion will be soon."

"Haha, if he knew that I had a guru from the Killing Life Temple, he would definitely lose his temper even more than I did."

…

Zen Master Mi Qian also told many stories about remembering hardships and thinking about sweetness.

But Li Chen's thoughts were not on that.

As Master Mi Jian said, he did not know that Abbot Huizhuo had taken the 'Nirvana Pill'.

But it is certain that Abbot Huizhuo is still alive.

However, Zen Master Vacuum once said that there is no cure for the toxicity of Nirvana Pill.

True rebirth, false nirvana.

But how did Abbot Huizhuo resolve the poison?

Li Chen was filled with questions, but no one could answer them.

By the time he came out of the Sutra Pavilion, it was already three quarters to noon.

Go directly to the Zen room hall of Sesshoji Temple.

The monks had just had lunch and were meditating and resting here.

But there was no sign of Li Sao.

Seeing Li Chen coming, Zen Master Yehui hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

"Amitabha."

"Master Li Sao was called away by Zen Master Loneliness."

"He also said that if you come back, he will let you go too."

When Li Chen saw that all the monks were doing as usual, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

He originally wanted to call Li Sao here and then go to the Empty Nest Zen Monastery to pay his respects to his master.

This trip down the mountain was very fruitful, and there are many things I need to ask the master for his opinion.

The Kongchao Zen Temple is still as empty as its name suggests.

But compared to before, the small Zen temple has become more lively.

Before entering the door, I heard a child crying inside.

The crying was continuous and annoying.

Soon, the reprimand of the lonely Zen master came.

Li Chen was happy to hear the words and hurried into the Zen temple.

I saw the lonely Zen master standing under the eaves.

A rope hung from the eaves, and a baby about three or four years old was hanging upside down at the end of the rope.

The child was naked and looked like an ordinary child from a distance.

But if you look closely at a close distance, you will find that he has a layer of light fluff all over his body.

And there is a tail more than a foot long behind his buttocks.

Even though his head was hanging upside down at this moment, there was no fear on his face.

At this time, Li Chen recognized at a glance that the thin figure standing in front of him was his master, the lonely Zen Master.

"You macaque! If you cry again, I will throw you into the killing forest!"

Although the tone of the lonely Zen Master was stern, Huaisheng obviously didn't buy it. He just closed his eyes and opened his mouth and cried loudly.

The more the old monk on the opposite side threatened him, the louder he cried.

Even if the lonely Zen Master later took out a bald duster from his arms, it was useless.

Just when Huaisheng was feeling proud, a faint fragrance blew by.

The crying stopped abruptly.

After all, Huaisheng had half of the blood of the demon race, and was born with five senses. His nose instantly caught the smell and couldn't help but twitched slightly.

Shua~

He suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: "Uncle Master!"
