Why do they always want me to change my filial piety?

Fan Jingyi said: "This life is the most brilliant and splendid world, if you can make it to the end, maybe you can get a great opportunity."

Lu Ran frowned, a little puzzled: "Bright and brilliant world, where do you start with this?"

Facing his gaze, Fan Jingyi slowly said: "Someone predicted that this life will gather all the luck in the world, it will be extremely prosperous, and there may be an opportunity to become a fairy."

"Become an immortal, there are two rumors!"

"First, when the Starfall Ancient Road was opened, the most talented people in the world entered it to fight, defeated everyone, and became a juvenile supreme. When they reached the end, they could see the opportunity to become a fairy."

"Secondly, the most mysterious Palace of Longevity is opened there. If you can enter it, you can get the secret of growing long-term vision."

Lu Ran sighed quietly: "If the Palace of Longevity really appears, I'm afraid this world will instantly turn into a battlefield, and all races will be involved."

Of course he had heard these two rumors.

The Xingyun Ancient Road does exist, because in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, every time the Xingyun Ancient Road appears, there will be countless top talents in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands entering it.

It has not been confirmed whether the person who can make it to the end will get the opportunity to become a fairy, but one thing is known, if the person who can make it to the end can grow up, he will definitely become the supreme in the current era of suppression.

Above the strongest, the human race becomes the supreme, while the monster race is called the ancient emperor.

However, after the end of the ancient era on the Xingyun ancient road, it has never appeared, and in the entire nine days and ten places, the supreme and ancient emperors of the suppression era have not appeared again.

As for the Palace of Longevity, no matter whether it is from ancient times or now, it is just a vague rumor, and no one has ever seen it.

If it does happen, it may not be a chance, but a disaster, and it is a disaster that is enough to destroy the world.

Because "immortal" is the pursuit of all practitioners. Some people will sacrifice everything to become immortal, and some will be desperate to become immortal. When that desire is ignited, a war of annihilation will break out.

Fan Jingyi revealed a shocking secret: "The ancient road of Xingyun may be opened again!"

Regarding this, Lu Ran's expression was still very calm: "No matter what, I just want to be myself. The illusory pursuit of longevity will only bind myself."

"To borrow a saying from Buddhism, there is nothing in the first place, where is the dust!"

He has his own way, what is immortality, in his opinion, is just a dream.

For him, the most important thing since he stepped into practice is to guard the people he cares about the most, do what he wants, and follow his heart.

"There is nothing in the first place, where is the dust!"

"Which volume of Buddhist scriptures does this Buddhist gatha come from, why haven't I heard of it?"

Hearing this, a strange color flashed in Fan Jingyi's beautiful eyes.

When she met Lu Ran for the first time, she knew how extraordinary he was.

That kind of extraordinary is not in the talent of cultivation, but in the way of thinking.

Whether it was the Mahayana Buddhism he preached at that time, or his current understanding of longevity, there is a kind of extraordinary insight into the essence.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Fan Jingyi came to Zixia Sect again.

Lu Ran pondered for a while, and then said: "I saw it by accident in a dilapidated Buddhist book."

"There is a four-line gatha recorded there, called Bodhi gatha."

【No Bodhi tree, nor stand mirror. 】

[Originally there is nothing, where is the dust. 】……

Chapter 180 Seventh Buddha's Verse

"Aside from these four verses in that dilapidated Buddhist scripture, is there anything else?"

Immersed in it for a while, the Buddha light in Fan Jingyi's beautiful eyes became more and more intense. She looked at Lu Ran and asked.

Seeing that she was interested, Lu Ran pondered for a while, and then said: "There is a conversation between Shenxiu and Monk Huineng in gatha..."

One day, Hongren, an eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty (the fifth ancestor of Zen), summoned his disciples and said: "Life and death are important matters in the world. You only seek the field of blessings all day long, not seeking to escape from the sea of ​​life and death. If your self-nature is lost, how can you save it?" ?

"Each of you went to look at the wisdom for yourself, took the prajna nature of your original mind, and wrote a verse each, and presented it to me. If you realize the general idea, I will give you the clothes and dharma, and you will be the sixth generation ancestor."

Shenxiu wrote a verse on the wall: "The body is a bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror stand. Always wipe it diligently so as not to stir up dust." 】

Although Hui Neng was illiterate, when he saw this gatha, he knew that he had not seen his true nature, so he asked someone to write a gatha saying: "Bodhi does not have a tree, and a bright mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, where is the dust?" 】

But in the end, the Fifth Patriarch Hongren rubbed the gatha after contemplating it, saying: "I haven't seen the nature either!"

Hearing this, Fan Jingyi showed a look of enlightenment, and said with red lips lightly: "In response to no place to live, my heart was born, since it is quiet, why should there be gatha?"

Lu Ran looked at her in astonishment, but he didn't expect that what she said was exactly the same as that of the Fifth Patriarch Hongren at that time.

Why do you say this?

Because no matter whether it is Shenxiu or Huineng, they are only one-sided in understanding, so it is said that they have not seen sex!

In this regard, the fifth patriarch Hongren erased the gatha and told Shenxiu and Hui Neng: Since there is no dust, why are you obsessed with the Buddha's gatha?

It can be seen from this that the Fifth Patriarch's Dharma is profound!

"The Fifth Patriarch's Dharma is so profound that he has transcended the sea of ​​suffering."

Fan Jingyi sighed, and then asked: "Can I have a look at the fragment of the Buddhist scripture?"

She didn't expect that this time she came to Zixia Sect to gain such a reward.

Last time, Lu Ran resolved the demonic obstacles in her heart and let her know the Mahayana Buddhism, but this time, only through a conversation, her understanding of Buddhism has been improved to a higher level.

From this point of view, the other party really has a predestined relationship with Buddha.

Hearing this, Lu Ran was stunned, and directly blamed it: "I only saw the fragment of the Buddhist scriptures in a secret place by chance. At that time, out of curiosity, I opened it and read it, but I didn't bring it out of the secret place."

"But now, that secret realm has collapsed, and the remnants of the Buddhist scriptures are also buried in it. If you want to find it, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack."

Fan Jingyi showed a regretful look: "It's a pity!"

This story does not exist in this world, where can I find it in some Buddhist scriptures?

However, what is interesting is that both Hongren the Fifth Patriarch, Huineng the Sixth Patriarch, and Shenxiu are all eminent Zen monks in that world.

And in this world of cultivating immortals, the holy land of Buddhism is the Pure Land of West Desert.

By mistake, because of his words, Fan Jingyi resolved the demonic obstacles in his heart and realized the Mahayana Buddhism, which led to the split of the Pure Land and the Zen Buddhism of this world.

It's all Zen, what a coincidence!

In the main hall, Lu Ran and Fan Jingyi had a happy conversation. Time passed and night fell. Fan Jingyi took a deep look at him and left Zixia Sect.

At this moment, Grand Elder Xu Qing happened to enter the main hall, and asked with some doubts: "Martial Nephew Lu, how do you know a strong Buddhist?"

She could feel that the unfathomable realm of the dusty woman in white clothes was unfathomable, even while walking, she was not contaminated by any dust.

The most important thing is that according to Shoushan disciples, the other party came on the lotus platform.

The lotus platform is in Buddhism, and only when the fruit position is certified, the lotus platform can be manifested.

It can be seen from this that the other party has at least attained the Arhat status, or the Bodhisattva status.

Lu Ran smiled, and slowly explained: "Because the last time Baihua Valley opened up wasteland, I met by accident..."

He didn't say anything, because what he said made Fan Jingyi melt away the demons in his heart, and thus split the pure land. He just told Xu Qing that he had done Fan Jingyi a favor by mistake, so Only then did we meet.

Even so, after knowing Fan Jingyi's true identity, Xu Qing was still dumbfounded: "So she is the current Buddhist mother of Zen!"

The West Desert Pure Land is the holy land of Buddhism, and it is also a top power.

And Fan Jingyi was a Buddhist girl who had attained the Bodhisattva status in the Pure Land before, but now she left the Pure Land and founded Zen Buddhism, aiming to promote the new Buddhism, and was known as the "Buddha Mother".

From this, we can see how high Fan Jingyi's status is in Buddhism.

Xu Qing didn't expect that his nephew and the Buddhist mother of Zen Buddhism would intersect, and judging from the fact that the other party came to Zixia Sect to visit, the relationship between the two seemed to be more than that simple.

Of course, if she knew that the division of the Pure Land was caused by the words of this good nephew, I don't know if she would be stunned on the spot.

----------

After Fan Jingyi's visit that day, a major event occurred in Youzhou.

Following the split of the Western Desert Pure Land, Zen Buddhism was born, and after leaving the Pure Land and entering Youzhou.

This time, Zen named the unnamed mountain where it was located Lingshan, and named the Buddhist temple Leiyin Temple. A Buddhist conference will also be held to invite Buddhist practitioners from all over the world to listen and spread Mahayana Buddhism.

Of course, Lu Ran didn't know about these things.

Because, he started retreat.

For this retreat, he planned to finish comprehending the eight ancient characters in "Spiritualization" and condense the soul-absorbing beads before exiting the retreat.

If this is the case, the time of more than 20 days is like a fleeting moment, passing by in the blink of an eye.

During this period, everything in the Zixia Sect went on as usual, no major incidents happened, and there were no disturbances. They just listened to the sermon in the pavilion without the gentle and jade-like figure.

And in the back cliff, one of the stone rooms.

Lu Ran sat cross-legged on a futon with his eyes closed, surrounded by the eight ancient Chinese characters Qian, Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui, which had already become solid.

At this moment, a translucent bead engraved with eight ancient characters has already appeared in the sea of ​​consciousness filled with majestic spiritual power, but the bead has not yet become real.

"call……"

I don't know how long it took before the eight ancient characters around him disappeared, Lu Ran opened his eyes, let out a foul breath, and murmured: "It's still a little short, it seems that we still need to go through some battles before the soul-destroying pearl can be fully formed. "

He usually fights with people, and rarely uses insanity.

After all, during the previous period, he had been incarnate as Lu Ziqian, investigating the truth of the year in the Dayu Dynasty, as well as the matter between Shayuan and [Longling Dizhi], and rarely used force.

Even in Dayu's discussion with Yun Yi, in order to get close to Huaiyin Prince's son and obtain relevant information, he only exposed the way of body training.

"The formation of the soul-destroying pearl still needs to combine the eight ancient characters in actual combat."

"But there is still a little bit of insight left. I wonder if there is any special place that can be honed." Lu Ran secretly thought.

Chapter 180: The Spirit Void Cave

Knowing that it is useless to retreat now, Lu Ran left the back cliff stone room.

The back mountain was still abnormally quiet, the master was obviously still in retreat, and now there was only half a month left until the night of the full moon.

"I don't know what is the situation of Master now, whether he has removed the Xuanyan curse seal."

Lu Ran looked at Master's room and murmured.

The Xuanyi curse seal in Ning Wei's body is the most urgent matter at the moment.

But he also knows that with his current state, even if he has a special physique, he can only suppress the curse seal for the master, but it cannot be removed.

If you want to pull it out, you have to go through [Extreme Yang Good Fortune Pill].

While thinking, Lu Ran went back to his room. After washing up, he was about to go to Xiaoxiang Yayuan, but he received a summons from the Great Elder Xu Qing.

The content of the message is very simple, that is, the opening of the Lingxu Cave.

What is Lingxu Cave?

It was a spirit world jointly built by many forces in ancient times, and one could let one's own spirit descend into it.

Inside, there are many opportunities, and it is also a place for all forces and races to hone the arrogance of the sect, because even if they are killed inside, it will only damage the spirit and soul, and will not really die.

Moreover, the things obtained in it can correspond to the real world and have prototypes. That is to say, whether it is a spiritual object of heaven and earth, or a treasure, it can be manifested after it is obtained in it.

At the same time, with each opening of the Lingxu Cave, one of the Five Heavenly Sects, the Tianji Sect, will release the Hidden Dragon Rankings, which will record the rankings of the top talents.

Of course, the ranking is only limited to the combat power of the soul. Although this is not the total combat power of the monks, it can also be seen which Tianjiao's strength is amazing enough.

But not everyone can enter the Lingxu Cave, there are two conditions.

First, you need the Lingxu Jade Talisman.

Second, the bone age is below [-] years old.

Third, the realm does not exceed the sun and moon realm.

The latter two are both suitable for Lu Ran. As for the Lingxu Jade Talisman he needs first, of course he doesn't have one, but the Zixia Sect has one.

Because only the sects and forces above the second-rate forces are eligible to obtain this Lingxu Jade Talisman.

Xu Qing sent him a message precisely to ask him to fetch the Lingxu Jade Talisman.

"This is really a pillow when someone is dozing off!"

Lu Ran put away the jade slip of communication, showed a smile, and went to the main hall of the sect.

Right now, he is thinking about how to completely combine the eight ancient characters into soul-absorbing beads through the great battle.
