Mysterious World Tour

"The poor monk was not joking. Otherwise, those arrogant foreigners would not have been almost wiped out because of this. (Yeyan) If there hadn't been a monk who happened to pass by, couldn't bear to meddle in his own business, and stopped Qingyan, he wouldn't have There will be remnants of soldiers fleeing to Yingchou Stream, and your father may not be involved with Qingyan." Master Lianhua closed his eyes slightly and shook his head slowly.

"Who is that master?" Tan Mo couldn't help but ask.

"If you dare to stand in front of Qingyan, he will naturally be dead. There is no need to remember a dead person's name." Master Lianhua said casually with an indifferent look on his face.

"Yes." Tan Mo agreed.

"If there is nothing else you want to know, then let's get down to business." Master Lotus said immediately.

"There are no disciples at the moment." Tan Mo saw that Master Lianhua had something serious to say. Although he was still confused at the moment, he still answered like this.

Master Lianhua nodded, looked at Tan Mo with bright eyes and asked, "My Lotus Temple is divided into inner and outer courtyards. Counting the poor monks, there are only six disciples in the inner courtyard. Are you willing to be the seventh person?"

"Disciple is willing."

"Well, the poor monk will accept a disciple on his behalf, and I will accept you as the seventh disciple of my master, Monk Maha Monk." Master Lotus said, "You have raised a white-bone heart, and that's why the poor monk values ​​you so much. You go and prepare first. Come on, the apprenticeship ceremony will be held in two days, and it will also be the time for you to worship the Bone Lotus. It depends on that time."

After speaking, Master Lianhua ordered: "Bai Guzi, take the Seventh Junior Brother to get acquainted with him."

Just as Bai Guzi was about to agree, Jing Xukong came out first, bowed, clasped his hands and said, "Brother Abbot, the Seventh Junior Brother used to be responsible for fetching water for the kitchen, and I cooked in the kitchen. In the past, the Seventh Junior Brother and I were the closest friends. If you are familiar with it, let me go.

Master Lianhua didn't take it seriously and nodded, "Go ahead and take care of things carefully. It's not easy to cultivate a white-bone heart."

"yes."

Tan Mo couldn't help but feel nervous. Why did he feel so ghostly when he heard the apprenticeship ceremony of Lotus Temple? And whether that sentence will come true depends on the time. It gives him a feeling that if he fails in the sacrifice, he will die, and he can't help but feel chilled in his heart.

At this time, when he saw Jing Xukong walking outside, he quickly followed him. Then he heard Jing Xukong say as he walked: "What do you think this world is like?"

"Ah?" Tan Mo was stunned and subconsciously said "Ah".

Jing Xukong shook his head, as if realizing that he shouldn't ask such a profound question to an eight-year-old child, so he said concisely and clearly: "The world you see is different from the world we see. . Because there are ghosts in this world. For example, most people can’t see ghosts. Only people who are dying can see ghosts.”

Tan Mo nodded, so the blue eyes were undoubtedly a ghost. He looked at Jingxukong, waiting for Jingxukong's next words.

Jing Xukong continued: "There are some special people who are born with the ability to see ghosts and even deal with ghosts, but this is inherited by blood. And you undoubtedly do not have this blood. Not only you, but I don't either. But …”

As he spoke, he clasped his hands together and recited Namo Amitabha. For a moment, it seemed that he had an illusion. Tan Mo actually saw a Buddha statue appearing in front of him, but the whole Buddha statue was very blurry. With a blink of an eye, this Buddha statue appeared in front of him. The Buddha statue disappeared.

Looking over again, Tan Mo saw Jing Xukong sweating profusely and saying breathlessly: "Our Lotus Temple has a unique method that allows ordinary people to have the ability to deal with ghosts. This method is what we call cultivation. However, If you want to practice, you must have spiritual roots, and this kind of spiritual roots is also inherited by blood. "

Jing Xukong's words were a bit confusing, but Tan Mo still understood it clearly.

There are two types of people in this world: those who are born with the ability to see ghosts and have the ability to deal with them. Let’s call this kind of talent, while this second kind is undoubtedly an ordinary person.

In addition, among these ordinary people, there are two types, one is those who have spiritual roots and are born with the ability to practice.

The second type is like Tan Mo.

It's a bit heartbreaking to describe it in detail, so I'll just give you an example.

"Sacrificing the Bone Lotus is a means of creating spiritual roots?" Tan Mo asked.

Jing Xukong nodded, very satisfied with Tan Mo's understanding.

"Exactly, letting a spiritual root come out of nothing and be born from a body flowing with mortal blood is an act of defiance. Therefore, the process of birthing this spiritual root is very torturous. Although it is not fatal, it fails. He became a complete useless person , If no one takes care of you, you will starve to death sooner or later." Jing Xukong said, reaching out and patting Tan Mo on the shoulder, comforting: "However, you have raised the White Bone Heart, and you will be born after I teach you the White Bone View and Such Heart Mantra. The success rate of spiritual roots is very high.”

Tan Mo now understood why Lotus Temple recruited so many novice monks. It was not for nothing. No wonder the young novices recruited must have living relatives and cannot be without father or mother.

"Oh, by the way, senior brother has a pill in his hand, which can also increase the chance of success. However, I don't recommend you take it." This was what Jing Xukong said after hesitating.

"Elixir?" Tan Mo was stunned.

"It's not the panacea you think. It's made with lead and mercury. It will kill you if you eat it." Jing Xukong probably thought that he had said everything, so he also told the story about the elixir.

Only then did Tan Mo realize that there were many elixirs in this world, but almost ninety-nine percent of them were fake elixirs and poisonous elixirs. After eating it, even if you don't die, you will still be half dead.

"Is there a real elixir?" Tan Mo couldn't help asking.

"Yes, it takes decades to refine that kind of elixir, which is totally not worth the effort, so no one will refine it." Jing Xukong shook his head.

"Why are there fake elixirs?" Tan Mo was surprised.

"There are always people who want to take shortcuts and get something for nothing." Jing Xukong smiled bitterly, "Even if he is as smart as our abbot, he can't help but want to try it, and he stubbornly believes that he has practiced it correctly and didn't make a poisonous pill! But... even he doesn't dare to eat it."

"Thank you, Brother Jing Xukong." Tan Mo thanked him sincerely, because he didn't know what to complain about Jing Xukong's words, so he could only say this.

"I will teach you the White Bone Contemplation and Suchness Heart Mantra first." Jing Xukong nodded and said.

Tan Mo looked sincere, but he was uneasy in his heart.

Because his White Bone Heart was actually a fake...

But after waiting for Jing Xukong to teach him the White Bone Contemplation and Suchness Heart Mantra, Tan Mo immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The White Bone Contemplation and Suchness Mantra are not long, only a hundred or so words, but they both look extremely profound. The White Bone Contemplation requires one to keep the white bones in mind, and then not be moved by beauty, seeing a beautiful woman is like seeing white bones. And Suchness Mantra is a scripture, when reciting the scripture, one must visualize the Buddha in the mind, and then reach the state of Zen of "Thus I have heard".

But after Tan Mo read it carefully three times, he found that both the White Bone Contemplation and Suchness Mantra were regulating one's own psychological changes.

Tan Mo was not good at psychology, but before he crossed over, he lived in a place that was good at psychology and mental therapy for a while. As the saying goes, "One is redder than another", he is now barely able to get started.

Therefore, very quickly, Tan Mo cultivated Suchness Mantra. There was no magical reaction, except that when he was reciting the sutra, a very vague golden light would appear in his mind, as if there was a figure in the golden light.

As for the White Bone Contemplation, it was not that Tan Mo gave up, but after he cultivated the Suchness Mantra and reached the so-called Zen state of "Thus I have heard", he suddenly found a strange thing under his nose.

Tan Mo had no way to describe what it was, it was just a very complicated pattern, a bit like a child's random doodle.

However, when he accidentally looked at the manuscript of the Suchness Mantra, the pattern flashed, and then a piece of information appeared in his mind.

Suchness Mantra, combined with the White Bone Lotus, the success rate +35%.

Tan Mo was stunned for a moment, his eyes thoughtful, and then he thought about it and looked at the manuscript of the White Bone Contemplation.

The pattern in his vision flashed, and the information in his mind changed.

White Bone Contemplation, combined with the White Bone Lotus, the success rate +35%.

Then, Tan Mo put the two manuscripts together, and the information changed again.

Suchness Mantra + White Bone Contemplation, combined with the White Bone Lotus, the success rate +70%.

Tan Mo raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of joy. Although he didn't know where the pattern in his vision came from, it was undoubtedly a good thing.
