no soul

That night, they still heard the sound of things breaking.

Lin Hong was so clever that he never undressed and lay down on the bed.

He stood up, "Let's go."

This time, when they were walking halfway, there was another sound, which happened to point them in the right direction.

The night is like thick ink, the moonlight is a little water dripping in, and the sound of insects is like a stirring pen.

The old houses are scattered high and low.

"It's the Ksitigarbha Palace from that day." Lin Hong looked at the plaque. He didn't recognize the four ancient characters but he still remembered the shape.

This inevitably reminded him of Speed ​​Walker, and he was a little frightened, after all, he almost died under the knife.

"Do you want to go in?" Lin Hong asked Wan Guchuan.

Wan Guchuan glanced at the darkness in the hall, "It should be a garland-eating ghost."

But not necessarily only garland-eating ghosts.

"You wait for me outside." Wan Guchuan said.

"Good idea!" Lin Hong grabbed him with both hands to prevent him from going inside, "I saved your life, let's go together."

Yes, it's not just this time.

Wan Guchuan raised his hand, "Then hold me."

Lin Hong looked at the hand with sharp knuckles and was startled, his heart itching made him uncomfortable, "No... I'll just follow you."

Wan Guchuan laughed, "Yes."

"Then let's go." He turned around so Qingsu turned his back to Lin Hong and walked towards the entrance of the hall.

Lin Hong followed him.

There was silence in the hall, the two slowed down, and Wan Guchuan stopped Lin Hong at the entrance of the hall.

——The sound of chewing can be faintly heard inside.

The two hid behind the door and looked inside.

The moonlight was pale, sprinkled on the ground and on the altar, illuminating the white corner of the clothes.

Lin Hong observed carefully.

This is the corner of the cassock.

Look at the texture...

It's printed!

The corner of the clothes was dragged under the moonlight, and it was hidden in the darkness. The altar table shook slightly, making a "squeak" sound.

The chewing sound is still ringing.

Is it true that Yin Guang ate flower garlands on the altar table as Shan Dao said? ?

Then why did Yinguang say that he raised a garland-eating ghost?Are you covering for yourself?

The chewing sound suddenly stopped.

There is a slight sniffling noise... sniffing something...

The garland eaters found them!

Wan Guchuan put his hand on the hilt of his sword.

Lin Hong met a pair of bright eyes in the dark.

Hiding in the darkness, Yin Guang squatted on the table, looking at them.

His brows were wrinkled, his lips were raised, his sharp teeth were exposed, and he made a threatening sound like a "hululu" beast.

Then, Yin Guang let out a sharp cry, showed his sharp claws, and rushed over from the table!

Wan Guchuan shook out his long sword and bumped into that claw!

Very close, the opposite was indeed Yin Guang's face, the eye sockets were all white, his mouth was grinning, saliva flowed, stretched into threads, and his sharp teeth were exposed.

Yin Guang leaned back, put his feet on his sword, flipped over, and lay down on the table again.

His eyes glowed in the dark, and he suddenly grinned, a little crazy.

"Ho ho ho ho ho ho..."

The long pointed tongue stretched out and licked the paw, making a "snurling" sound from the throat.

Wan Guchuan shook off the petals on the sword that were stained with its saliva.

Lin Hong stared at Yin Guang, who was neither a beast nor a ghost, and said "tsk tsk tsk", "Yin Guang, Yin Guang, I really didn't expect that you still have two faces. You said that you have two faces during the day. Like a dog, at night..."

"Thank you for the compliment?" Yin Guang's voice sounded from behind him.

"Ah!" Lin Hong was startled, and turned his head to look.

It was Yin Guang who was "like a dog".

Wan Guchuan had already expected it, and glanced sideways.

Lin Hong looked at this from the left and that from the right, "You really have twin brothers!"

Yin Guang was startled, and looked into the hall.

The garland-eating ghost also looked at him, and immediately grinned wider, "Ho ho ho ho ho ho..." let out a series of joyful laughter, it stretched out its hand to grab the garland of Buddha, and rolled the garland into it with its long tongue. In his mouth, he chewed, and knocked the empty plate beside his hand to the ground provocatively.

There was a loud bang and it fell apart.

"Ho ho ho ho ho ho..."

Rampant laughter echoed in the hall.

Yin Guang clasped the Buddhist beads wrapped around his hands. The flower garland it ate just now belonged to the Buddha, not for it. It broke its promise.

It was rumored in Miaoguang Temple that he stole the flower garlands. He was used to being alone, and he didn't understand where the rumors came from.

Today he understands.

The garland-eating ghost changed into his appearance and was stealing the garlands offered to the Buddha.

Yin Guang's knuckles turning white while holding the prayer beads.

Trapped him again in injustice.

Fortunately, the abbot didn't drive him away, but kept him.

Why?This is disrespectful, the abbot should have ruled.

For example, when receiving precepts, the garland-eating ghost grinned, knocked over the incense stick in the abbot's hand, and dripped red wax into the eyes of the Buddha statue.

The incense fell to the ground.

The Buddha wept blood.

Everyone was shocked.

"You don't need to take any more precepts." The abbot clasped his hands together and finalized it.

The garland-eating ghost laughed as wildly and evilly as it does today.

And the huge hall, hundreds of monks, only you can see it.

If you say it, no one will believe it, and it will only increase the karma in others' hearts.

Yin Guang clasped his hands together, neither sad nor happy, "I understand."

"I'll give you a garland. Don't touch the Buddha's flowers, and don't harm anyone." Yin Guang said to the garland-eating ghost, "When the scriptures sound, you don't move. Just listen."

The garland-eating ghost stuck out its greedy tongue and nodded.

Yin Guang closed his eyes and began to read the scriptures.

"Just like this, you still want to save it?" Lin Hong watched the rampant garland-eating ghost rushing towards the Wan Guchuan again, and his heart arose, "Be careful!"

The sound of scriptures echoed in the lobby with the sound of claws and blades colliding.

But the flames of war are not extinguished because of this rain, but intensified instead.

"Ho ho ho ho ho ho..."

Rampant laughter has lost consciousness, infected with incurable madness.

"It's over." Lin Hong said.

Some people can only wake up once they preach, and it is their nature to never repent.

The sound of scriptures stopped, "Why can't you save?"

Yin Guang frowned, with a sad expression, "Why? Is it difficult to be good? Is it difficult to avoid the six realms of reincarnation, and not to go to the three evils? There is one more, one more, why can't I do it? ?”

Lin Hong looked at him.

Ah, isn't there someone with obsession right in front of you?

After this person was awakened, he actually kept avoiding talking about his affairs.

"Master Yinguang, you have a compassionate heart, and you want to save people," Lin Hong said, "but why are you obsessed with your [-]? What's more, can you save everyone?"

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva preaches in hell. Is hell empty so far? A person's ability is also limited."

"I don't know how to say it, but didn't the Buddha preach that 'everything is empty'?" Lin Hong said, "Are you 'empty'?"

Yin Guang didn't speak, he held his prayer beads.

"You want to save people, have you saved yourself?" Lin Hong said, "Think but not cling, Master Yin Guang."

Thinking but not holding on.

Yin Guang looked up at the statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the main hall.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has compassionate eyes, holds a tin staff in one hand, and seals in the other.

"Hell is not empty, I swear not to become a Buddha" is obsession?Non obsessive?

No self, no human, no living beings, no longevity...

There are countless, countless, and boundless sentient beings.

The Buddha saves all living beings but does not know that all living beings are saved.

Everything is false.

But he didn't save all sentient beings, but he knew the number of all sentient beings, one hundred and seven, which can be counted in a long time, and he pursued diligently.

Lin Hong is right——

Those who want to save others first save themselves.

Yin Guang smiled.

Wan Guchuan swung the long sword, and the garland eater jumped back onto the table, covering the sword wound on his arm.

"Ho ho ho ho ho ho..."

The mouth is about to grin behind the ears, the fangs are messy, and the long tongue sticks out, still laughing wildly.

At that time, there will be a flash of cold light!The titanium fork waved down!

The laughter stopped abruptly.

The garland eater's head rolled to the ground, its eyes widened in disbelief, its long tongue sticking out of its mouth and limp on the ground.

It returned to its original appearance, shriveled, scorched, dark, and dirty.

The change was so fast that all three of them were startled.

The head of the garland eating ghost was lifted up, and the blood dripped on the ground.

Follow the hand to look - the speed walker is standing in the dark, holding the head of the garland eater in his hand.

The air freezes.

Wan Guchuan looked at the speeding ghost as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

But none of them moved.

Suddenly, golden light flourished! !

The hall was submerged in a gentle golden color.

The lotus bloomed silently.

Behind the golden light, the speeding ghost holding a titanium fork turned into a monk.

An amiable monk with a natural smile.

Really, it's hard to imagine that he is the hideous speeding ghost just now.

The monk stroked his beard and said to himself: "When I became an arhat, my understanding was wrong, something happened, and I violated the precepts, and I have been a speeding ghost for hundreds of years.

Because he wanted to prove to be an Arhat and get rid of troubles for others, so he also wanted to kill evil people and ghosts when he became a ghost. "(Note 1)

He was also smiling when he said this, as if he was talking to a friend about something trivial to laugh at himself.

"Today, I just figured it out." The monk said, "It can be said that I have escaped from the realm of hungry ghosts."

He looked at Yin Guang, "Thank you Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva for his enlightenment day and night."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva does not have the appearance of a Buddha, but he has the heart of a Buddha.

Yin Guang clasped his hands together, not accepting it, "Taoism is not enough."

The monk laughed and was even more kind, "From now on, your practice is enough."

He glanced at the head of the garland-eating ghost in his hand, and sighed, "I took it to hell."

The head of the garland eater suddenly let out a desperate cry.

In the golden light, the figure of the monk faded away, and his eyes turned to Wan Guchuan, "You kill greed, you have no greed, and you can't be considered a villain."

He was greedy for killing the invaders, and after the invaders were defeated, they handed over the land to sue for peace, but Wan Guchuan didn't get a single bit of it.

"But if you become a ghost, it must be the most vicious and wild ghost." The monk smiled.

The golden light faded, and all the corpses of the garland-eating ghost disappeared.

The hall was immersed in darkness.

Lin Hong looked at Yin Guang, "Look at the man thanking you for the scriptures, you've got all the one hundred and eight you want to spend."

Yin Guang clasped his hands together, "It's just a number. Thank you Lord Lin for saving me."

"No," Lin Hong refused, "remember to send us back."

Yin Guang smiled, turned and left.

Yuri is early in the morning.

A dusty old monk stepped into Miaoguang Temple.

Holding a tin rod, wearing old and gray clothes of bad color, long white eyebrows interlaced with white beard, half-closed eyes. (Note 2)

The abbot returned from his travels.

The monks came to welcome him, took over the tin rod, the wind and sand in the world, the wisdom of asceticism, and the merit of preaching.

The two went up to say hello, and when they talked, the abbot's voice was calm and kind.

"I want to ask you some questions that I don't quite understand," Lin Hong said, "Yin Guang stole the flower garland, why didn't you drive him out?"

"Why do you want to drive the Bodhisattva out of the temple?" the abbot asked.

Lin Hong was startled, "If that's the case, then why didn't you give him an ordinance?"

"He has a ring in his heart."

"Abbot! Abbot!" A little novice hurried over, "Senior Brother Yinguang...Senior Brother Yinguang, passed away."

Lin Hong was stunned.

It turns out that this is what Yin Guang has been implying "there is no chance" - Yin Guang's life is not long.

Lin Hong looked in the direction where the abbot and the little novice were leaving, and before he had time to keep up, Bai Guang Dasheng had already drowned him and Wan Guchuan.

On this day, Miaoguang Temple ushered in the most prosperous incense and the most abundant tribute.

"I'm here to thank Master Yinguang!" A buxom lady in a headscarf ordered the hired workers to put down the things.

It was the lady who opened the slaughterhouse that day.

Someone came to ask her what the happy event was.

The aunt was very happy, "After listening to Master Yinguang's words, our family has done a lot of good deeds, and even closed the slaughterhouse and released many animals.

One day, I had a dream. I dreamed of a rabbit who could speak human language. It was miraculous. He asked me to take the whole family to the outskirts of the city tomorrow to play.When I woke up the next day, I obeyed it and took my family out to play.

When I came back, I found that our house had collapsed!A broken one is called a complete one!Fortunately, he escaped to save his life.

Today I am here to thank Master Yinguang for his guidance! "

People around are nodding in praise.

"Hey, what about Master Yinguang?" The aunt looked around and asked the novice at the side.

"Senior brother Yin Guang... went to see the Buddha."

If someone asks Yin Guang, have you really seen the Buddha?what does it look like?

Yin Guang will definitely answer, yes.

is my heart.

A sage seeks the mind but not the Buddha, and a fool seeks the Buddha but not the mind.There is no Buddha outside the heart. (Note 3)

Great compassion, equanimity, inaction, no defilement, emptiness, reverence, humility, no confusion, no view-taking, supreme bodhicitta. (Note 4)

What is the "Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi" that the Buddha has been pursuing all his life?

It is "Supreme, Righteousness, Right Enlightenment". (Note 5)

It is wisdom, benevolence, courage, and a lifetime of surpassing oneself.

Never lose heart.

Always be kind.

eternal fraternity.

Buddha is a great enlightened being and a saint. (Note 6)

Everyone can become a Buddha, and everyone can become a saint.

The sea of ​​suffering is here, the troubles are here, and the only one who can save me is myself.

The Buddha is outside the Three Realms, and this mind is outside the Three Realms, outside the hustle and bustle.

No worries, no evil.

Do all good things and don't do all evil. (Note 7)

This heart is bright. (Note 8)
