kidnap a beauty to catch a demon

Under the bodhi tree, Ji He looked at Hopa expressionlessly, but Hopa didn't make a sound, just smiled at him.

The two of them didn't speak, but they seemed to have a wordless tacit understanding. They looked at Fang Yize who seemed to be meditating with his eyes closed.

Hapa used the retrospective memory technique on Fang Yize, and Fang Yize's expression was not unusual at this time, but his soul and mind had already returned to hundreds of years ago.

The Huang Chao Mutiny happened in Chang'an City, and Suzaku sealed the Phoenix hundreds of years ago.

As the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Hapa has practiced in the Yin Division for nearly a thousand years, so of course there will be no problems with his spells.Since he said he was helping Fang Yize recall the past, he must be recalling the past, objective and fair, without any personal emotion.

Although Ji He still remembered some of his contacts with Hepa, it was not that clear. After all, hundreds of years later, Hepa was just a drop in the ocean in his long life, far less important than Fang Yize.

Seeing that Fang Yize hadn't woken up, Ji He couldn't help feeling a little worried, and looked at Hepa coldly: "Are you sure nothing will happen?"

"Little Phoenix is ​​really different. He used to be both cuddly and coquettish, but now... he is much more independent than before!" Hopa seemed to feel something, and smiled lightly with the corners of his mouth, jokingly said.

He is obviously a Buddhist disciple, but he was very serious before, why is his painting style different now?Ji He frowned, and couldn't help retorting: "I've been sitting under the Bodhi tree for hundreds of years. I don't know if your pursuit of 'Hell is not empty, I will never become a Buddha' is about to come true?"

Hapa shook his head helplessly: "You're still a child! Suzaku doted on you so much back then, and although you met later in this life, you probably don't miss it. I didn't expect you to be together on the New Year's Eve in the world. As soon as you come here, you can go back when he wakes up. Everything in the world has its own destiny, and the time for his Vermilion Bird Seal to be released will not be too far away."

Hearing this, Ji He's eyes froze, and he subconsciously asked, "When will it be?"

Hapa lowered his eyes slightly, but did not speak.There was something wrong with the soul of Suzaku when it was sealed back then. Part of it was hidden among the 28 stars in all directions, and part of it was scattered in the world like the soul of the white tiger. Fortunately, the crane spirit was running around and was finally collected. However, there is still a very small part of the soul left on Phoenix's body.

There are advantages and disadvantages to this approach. The advantage is that the two finally meet in this life, and the Suzaku spirit can keep the Phoenix safe for life before the seal of Phoenix itself is released. However, there are also disadvantages. With this part of the Suzaku spirit, The two are tied to each other for life and death, if one has an accident, the other will not be able to escape.

Thinking of this, Hapa couldn't help but feel shocking.In the end, he could only sigh deeply, and said casually: "It depends on the opportunity to solve it. For example, the four holy beasts reappeared in the world?"

Saying is tantamount to not saying!These are bits and pieces of information they have already known for half a year!Ji He's sloppy behavior towards Hapa was really incomprehensible, and he finally remembered the purpose of him and Fang Yize coming to the Yin Division, and glanced at Hapa lightly: "We are here today, actually there is one thing I want to ask you .”

Hapanahan asked: "I thought you came here to retrieve his memory. So it's not! Is there something wrong?"

"We have a friend who made a wish under special circumstances. The price was 'separation of body and soul'. In the end, the wish came true, but his 'obsession' because of his own desires also made this price come true. He is now In the state of separation of body and soul, Yize used the spell of "fixing the soul" to temporarily fix the three souls and six souls for him two days ago, but it is not a long-term solution after all. We hoped to use the destiny disk to change his reincarnation and change this result .But neither I nor Yize, currently have no way to make a contract with the fate plate, this method will not work." Ji He frowned and said slowly.

Hapa smiled, his eyes were compassionate and gentle: "In this way, you think that since the fate chart can change the fate of ordinary people as a small reincarnation in the world, then the big reincarnation of the Yin Division must also be possible. At first you When you come to the Yin Division, you probably are not looking for me. King Qin Guang, who is in charge of life and death in the world, went on a cruise in the East China Sea. He once received the favor of Suzaku. If he really sees you, you don’t need to say anything, he will definitely help. As for me... ...You and Suzaku have come in person, even if I think about it, I have no room to refuse!"

Ji He nodded bluntly, and looked at Hepa with a bit of incredulity: "What have you experienced in these hundreds of years? When you persuaded me to let go of my obsession, I was not so glib!"

Hapa shook his head, raised his hand and made a Buddhist ceremony, said "Amitabha" in a low voice, and then stopped talking, but his thoughts couldn't help drifting away. Counting the time, Fang Yize's memories at this time It should be almost over.

I don't know where it started, and it goes deeper and deeper.That's about it.

At first, Suzaku took the initiative to take up the task of raising the cubs of the phoenix at the beginning of the birth of the phoenix. After hundreds of years, she gradually accumulated emotions different from other people, but she had to choose to give up the phoenix because of a catastrophe in the world. , but unavoidably kept selfishness in this process, and was not so aboveboard.Even so, Hapa was still surprised by some of Suzaku's actions afterwards, such as setting foot in the underworld just to see the phoenix, or instigating crane spirits to set up a demon-subduing organization in the world, just to keep the peace in the world!

The composition of a person's personality is bound to be complex. There are both selfish and upright sides. He may tend to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, or he may choose to sacrifice his life for righteousness. It will never be a flat and single image.

Thinking of this, Hapa couldn't help but sighed deeply, and didn't think about it any more.

Fang Yize's memories came to an abrupt end after He Lao agreed to Suzaku's request and said "I will live up to my lord's entrustment!"There was another sudden twirling, and Fang Yize's soul was pulled out of Suzaku's body unexpectedly, and was violently dragged into a vast nothingness by a force coming from nowhere!

"So what's the matter!" Fang Yize clicked his tongue, and was surprised to find that there was nothingness between the sky and the earth, and all he could see was a vast white mist, a bit like the underworld shrouded in the practice place of Hapa Nasi The surrounding mist was somewhat different, without the slightest hint of rot, and even had a faint fragrance of lotus flowers!

This is where?Fang Yize's eyebrows couldn't help but twitch, feeling that today's experience was a bit ups and downs, it was too exciting!He was about to lift his foot and take two steps forward to try it out, when suddenly he heard a deep voice, like Huang Zhong Dalu, and countless brilliant golden lights suddenly appeared in front of him!In the shroud of golden light, the Tathagata Buddha with a kind face gradually appeared. He was tall and tall, sitting on the lotus platform, with one hand showing fearlessness and the other on his chest. There was an imperceptible smile in his eyes, but There was also a hint of majesty.

"..." Fang Yize felt that he was powerless to complain now, what kind of magical development is this?The style of painting has changed again and again, from a one-day trip to the underworld to meeting Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, it is even more terrifying now, and a real Buddha body was directly given to him?

And the Buddha he saw this time was much more real than the one he saw in Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou last time!

Last time at Lingyin Temple, the Buddha appeared through the Tathagata Buddha statue in the Daxiong Palace, but the real body did not appear, but this time, the real Buddha appeared in front of Fang Yize without a doubt!Fang Yize had never been afraid of ghosts and gods, but at this moment he couldn't help being a little shocked, and was speechless for a while.

"Three thousand in the world of mortals, the past has come to light. How do you feel at this moment?" The voice of the Buddha suddenly sounded, not high-pitched, but majestic. He looked at Fang Yize, who was as small as an ant under the lotus platform, with a touch of pity in his eyes .

Fang Yize didn't answer the Buddha's question in time. He discovered a very strange thing - just now when he possessed Suzaku and experienced the past events again, he didn't bring his own black gold Tang knife, but As soon as he landed in this endless nothingness, he suddenly had this black gold sword in his hand!To be precise, it wasn't the black gold Tang knife that I had used for nearly ten years, but the black gold Tang knife that Suzaku had asked the blacksmith Ou Yezi to forge back then, and hadn't been repaired much!

The blade is black and long, and there is an extremely gorgeous red streamer faintly surging in it!

He looked at the black gold Tang knife in his hand for a long time, and then raised his eyes to look at the Buddha.Because the difference in stature between the two was too big, he had to look up and couldn't help sighing: "Can you lower the height? It's too much effort for me!"

The Buddha smiled slightly, raised his hand, and pointed the lotus in his hand at Fang Yize. Fang Yize suddenly felt that his figure had grown a lot, and he stopped until he was about to be at the same level as the Buddha's sight. The black gold Tang knife in his hand also became much longer. Fang Yize looked at the Buddha in surprise, and subconsciously asked, "Why are you here?"

"Instead of asking me why I am here, you should ask yourself why I am here." The Buddha looked at him from a distance, raised his hand again and made a Buddha ceremony, and said flatly, "This is Lingshan. "

Fang Yize's eyes widened in surprise!

The meaning of Lingshan in Buddhism naturally need not be repeated. The Buddha entered Lingshan in the world in the past, and finally learned the way in Lingshan and cultivated into the real body. He is the Tathagata Buddha.For Buddhist disciples and believers, Lingshan is undoubtedly a holy place for practice!

How could I be here?Fang Yize couldn't figure it out, and was a little dazed when he heard the Buddha slowly say: "Everything in the world is illusory, and most of them cannot escape from anger, ignorance, greed, resentment, love, hatred, love, and enmity." This stereotype! How do you feel about what you have seen before, such as stepping into the underworld, such as attributing crane spirits and vermilion birds?"

When asked about the things he knew well, Fang Yize's mind subconsciously settled down, pondered for a moment, and confessed: "You said that everything in the world is false, but I don't think so. Life is alive, the picture is It’s the word “pleasant”! If it’s really because of these anger, ignorance, greed, hatred, love and hatred, you feel that life is vain, nothing is worth doing, and you become desireless, and this kind of life is too boring some!"

The Buddha's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked with great interest: "Oh? Even if you and Fenghuang need to go through so many twists and turns to be together, even if you have to give up your personal love for the sake of the world, is this okay? "

Fang Yize couldn't help laughing and said: "According to logic, shouldn't your awareness be higher than mine? After all, you once sacrificed meat to feed an eagle in order to save a pigeon that was about to die in the claws of an eagle, and you also taught Buddhism to save all living beings. It seems that you asked me this question, but it is very strange! Of course I am not a saint, I have shortcomings, and I also have my own greed, but when faced with some choices, whether you want to or not, some things must be Do it, and do it to the best! It is my own greed that can support me to make these choices that are full of sense of justice in your opinion! For example, when I gave up Phoenix because of the common people in the world, although I had no choice but to The next choice, but I also inevitably kept selfishness in the process, not only gave him part of the Suzaku fire, but also kept part of the soul, all for the reunion now. If I didn’t have this selfishness, I would have saved the world. Afterwards, I may be an ordinary god who has no desires or desires, and no one will become more miserable or happier because of my existence, so what is there to be happy about?"

The Buddha closed his eyes and lowered his eyebrows, and sighed deeply: "Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu, the four holy beasts were gradually conceived before the opening of the world, and finally born among the 28 stars in the four directions. You are honorable, you can set the four directions and secure the common people, and you have always been the most insignificant existence in the Three Realms. But the first time I really saw you was a long time later. You brought the Phoenix to the Western Paradise to listen to the Dharma. Phoenix, not long after it took shape, it still looks like a five or six-year-old child."

Fang Yize raised his eyebrows, listening to the Buddha continue with some interest.

"That Dharma event is not surprising now. I was on the lotus platform to explain the Dharma to the gods and Buddhas. Just when a wind blew, a lotus petal fell. I picked up the lotus petal and looked at it for a long time. I thought, "A flower One world, one leaf, one bodhi', all the gods and Buddhas were silent, only Kasyapa smiled. The saying that 'Buddha holds flowers, Kasyapa smiles' has gradually spread since that Buddhist meeting. At that time, you I took the phoenix and stood on the high tower in the Leiyin Temple in Xitian, and witnessed all this happened." The Buddha seemed to have remembered something, and smiled slowly.

Fang Yize felt even more surprised, and couldn't help asking: "What am I taking him to stand there for? The Buddha is holding a flower, and Kasyapa is smiling. I shouldn't be criticizing this incident, right?"

The Buddha looked at him helplessly, and slowly said: "Fenghuang was still young at the time, after all, he was a child at heart. He stayed at the Buddhist meeting not long ago, and pestered you to take him to see the scenery of Xitian Lingshan. The high tower is the best place." viewing platform. Although I was talking about Buddhism, I also heard different voices from the Three Realms, including the questions and answers between you and Phoenix."

"What did he ask?" Fang Yize felt itchy for no reason when he thought of the five or six-year-old little Phoenix with handsome features he had seen in his dream. The person from Fangwai, who was pure-hearted and ascetic, asked with a serious face.

The Buddha closed his eyes slightly, Fang Yize just asked casually, but he couldn't help but think of the scene at that time.

The Western Paradise Buddhist Association happens once every 300 years. Suzaku comes here with little phoenix on the wind and clouds. He wanted to concentrate on listening to the Dharma, but he was pestered by little phoenix to see the scenery. Go up to the high tower in Leiyin Temple in Xitian, which is still the highest floor.

From the viewing platform of the high tower, looking far away, you can see the gods and Buddhas of the gods and Buddhas each showing their magical powers. Even Avalokitesvara, who is concentrating on practicing in the South China Sea, holds a clean bottle in her hand, and stands on the steps of the sky with the boy of good fortune and the dragon girl. Next, concentrate on listening to the Buddha's lecture on Buddhism.

Afterwards, the breeze came and the lotus fell down. The Buddha held up the flower and looked at it carefully. All the gods and Buddhas were silent. Only Kasyapa, the disciple of the Buddha, smiled. It was obvious that he understood what the Buddha was thinking.

On the viewing platform above the tower, Little Phoenix grabbed the railing and tried to look in the direction of the Buddhist Association. Just in time to see this scene, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Suzaku: "Why is Kasyapa laughing?"

Suzaku stretched out his arms to hug him, so that he could see more clearly, and said flatly, "Because he has comprehended the thoughts of the Buddha when he picked up flowers."

"What about Big Brother Suzaku? Have you enlightened?" Little Phoenix reached out and put his arms around Suzaku's neck, in case he would accidentally fall, and giggled.

Suzaku's eyes suddenly became dark and difficult to see, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "Enlightenment and non-enlightenment are all in one thought. When you look at a flower, the flower exists; if you don't look at the flower At that time, the flower will no longer exist. But what the Buddha thought, one flower, one world, one leaf, one Bodhi. To put it simply, it is nothing more than that existence can last forever, no matter how long the time is. Just like epiphyllum, it takes many years to bloom , but the real flowering is only for one night, just for such a moment, people can never forget the beauty of epiphyllum. It is the same reason.”

"I seem to understand a little bit." Little Phoenix leaned on Suzaku's shoulder and whispered in his ear, "That is to say, if no one needs Brother Suzaku, no one cares about Brother Suzaku, then Brother Suzaku is equal to Does it not exist?"

Suzaku retracted her arms, and hugged the little Phoenix even tighter. Her eyes fell on the white clouds piled up like cotton in the western sky. Through the clouds, she seemed to see the four stars that once gave birth to the four holy beasts. After a long time, he smiled softly: "Yeah, if one day Little Phoenix doesn't need me, and the world doesn't need me anymore, Brother Suzaku may be the same as that ordinary flower, so it doesn't exist... ..."

On that day in the Lingshan Mountain of Western Heaven, the Buddha was stunned for a while while explaining the Dharma. He heard the conversation between Phoenix and Suzaku without missing a beat. Jumping up and down, they saw the brilliant rays of the sky scattered into countless roads behind them, saw Phoenix's full dependence on Suzaku, and also saw a life-and-death calamity hundreds of years later.

However, the Buddha said, it cannot be said.

Nothing can be said.Sorrows and joys, reincarnation of life and death, there is a so-called cause and effect in the dark.

Time flies, time changes, no one would have thought that the one who finally broke through the calamity of life and death was precisely the Suzaku who planted the karma of life and death because of raising the phoenix!

If you don't know life, how can you know death?If you put it to death, you may not be able to survive.

The Buddha stared at Fang Yize who looked surprised in front of him, and said lightly: "As I said last time when I saw you in Lingyin Temple, the doom between you and Phoenix has long been solved in this life, and doing it It is you who make the effort.”
