Urban Witcher

For a while, Ye Shaoyang didn't understand what his words had to do with what he said. After thinking about it for a while, he still didn't know, so he didn't speak at all.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva asked: "What is the way of Master Ye?"

Before he could answer, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva continued: "All dharmas are empty, does Master Ye know what it means?"

Ye Shaoyang shook his head. "No matter what path you take, you will eventually reach the realm of 'emptiness'."

"What is that void?"

Ye Shaoyang felt a little helpless, and said, "Empty means nothing."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva laughed: "Empty, it's not that there is nothing. Emptiness is a state. There is something in the eyes, but nothing in the heart. There are three thousand Buddhist teachings, and what we seek is the word 'empty'. Tao is something created by people. Empty , but the ultimate of all truths..."

Ye Shaoyang was a little unhappy when he heard this, and said: "The Dao has no form, but it gives birth to the world; the Dao is ruthless, and moves the sun and the moon; the Dao has no name, and it grows all things; I don't know its name, so I call it Dao."

This is the opening paragraph of the Qing Jingjing, and Ye Shaoyang read this out with a sense of resistance.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva nodded slightly, and said: "The so-called Dao is emptiness. If you realize it, you will understand that there is no difference between Dao and Buddha."

Ye Shaoyang couldn't understand it, and said: "My enlightenment is low. In my opinion, a Taoist priest is a Taoist priest, and a monk is a monk. They are different." He glanced at the side face of Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha, and said: "Bodhisattva, come to me, don't you?" Maybe it’s for discussing the Tao. If it’s about discussing the Tao, you can find any Taoist disciple from the underworld who is better than me, and I’m not good at this.”

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva turned his head slightly, and said: "Benefactor Ye, I know everything about you. Originally, I wanted to get rid of you, so as to avoid endless disasters in the future... But I didn't want many things to happen again. Now that Xuanyuan Mountain intervenes, the disaster of heaven The chaos is a foregone conclusion... I thought about keeping you, maybe it will cause some changes in the chaos, and I don't know."

Ye Shaoyang was dumbfounded, this Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who was still talking about the scriptures and Taoism in the mist just a moment ago, suddenly talked about the business, the rhythm jumping, it's really unstoppable.

"It's very easy for a Bodhisattva to kill me." Ye Shaoyang said tentatively.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said: "In the illusion before, your friend died. You knew it was an illusion. Why did you save her?"

Ye Shaoyang thought of the scene at that time, and said: "I thought, if it's not an illusion, I can't afford to bet."

"Even though you saved her, you might die?"

"Yes, it was too late to think so much at that time."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva nodded slightly, pondered for a while, and said: "My view is different from that of the emperor. The emperor likes to play chess. All the people in the world are chess pieces. Good and evil are meaningless to him, but it is different to me. Even if you are a reincarnated ghost boy , it is not your fault, but your kind deed today came from the heart, which is very rare."

Ye Shaoyang looked at him with a frown, pondered for a while, and said, "Bodhisattva, I don't understand why you want to tell me this specifically."

"If you didn't save people before, you are already dead at this moment."

Ye Shaoyang's heart tightened, he didn't expect this to be a test.

Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha looked into the distance, and his voice slowed down, like a simple and melodious bell: "The three worlds will be chaotic, and the ghosts of the world will feel uncomfortable. My Fajue Temple may be the only paradise. Ye Shaoyang, you have the good roots of Buddha , I intend to keep you here to cultivate and avoid the chaos of the sky. One day you will realize the realm of emptiness, which is a great opportunity..."

Just as Ye Shaoyang was about to speak, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva continued, "I will not force you to stay. If you want to go back, I can't stop you."

"I'll go back." Ye Shaoyang didn't think about it.

"Stay here, escape from reincarnation, from now on, life's troubles have nothing to do with you, and you will be able to prove the Dao Hunyuan, just around the corner... If you return to the world and force yourself to stand out, you will die without life, and even your soul will be incomplete... Do you really want to? "

Ye Shaoyang took a deep breath and said: "Bodhisattva, you are wrong. Those experiences in the world are troubles in your opinion, but they are not in my opinion. There are joys and sorrows, wine and friends, which is life. Going back to the mortal world is not about trying to get ahead, I just don’t believe that there are some things that only the chosen one can do, they are raised by their fathers and mothers, if they say I can’t do it, I don’t agree.

After speaking, he smiled at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, "So, I'm just such a layman, I can't be a master, and I don't even think about proving the Tao."

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was still looking into the distance, wondering what was going on in his mind. After a long time, he said slowly, "In this case, I will give you something. When you need it, just open it."

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to grab a leaf from the nearby linden tree, grabbed a leaf, rolled it up in his hand, and threw it to Ye Shaoyang.

Ye Shaoyang caught it, feeling that the bodhi leaf was wrapped by a force, and it was not easy to open. He looked up at Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in a daze, "Well, Bodhisattva, what is the time when it is useful? What are you talking about?"

"When you feel that you should open it, that's it."

Ye Shaoyang still wanted to ask a question, but Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha flicked his sleeve suddenly, and a gust of wind hit him, rolled him up, and flew forward quickly.

"Bodhisattva, you are also wrong." Ye Shaoyang couldn't see anything, but still shouted loudly: "Bodhisattva, you are lying haha, you said that I will die ten times and have no life. If this is true, why would you give me something..."

Of course no one responded to him.

Ye Shaoyang's eyes went dark, and he suddenly felt that his body was extremely heavy, and then he regained consciousness, opened his eyes, and there was a faint light in front of his eyes.

"You're awake!"

It was Xie Yuqing's voice.

Ye Shaoyang felt wet under his body, and wanted to sit up, but was pressed down by Xie Yuqing, "Lie down for a while, the ambulance is coming!"

"ambulance??"

"That's right. You passed out as soon as you entered the cave. I don't know what happened, but your breathing and heartbeat are normal. It doesn't look like you have any sudden illness, so I didn't touch you. I called an ambulance. I guess the mountain is not good. Come up..."

"It's fine, it's fine, I'm fine." Ye Shaoyang recalled the whole incident, and asked her if she had seen those humanoid monster corpses, Xie Yuqing looked confused, saying that she had never heard of them.

It turns out...it was an illusion from the beginning.

Ye Shaoyang got up and looked around, and found that they were not far from the cave, and he was even more convinced of this. He was very puzzled, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva could not come to the world. Dong Dong entered the illusion without anyone noticing, if he wanted to kill himself, it would be really easy...

I felt something in my hand, and when I opened it, it was the rolled up bodhi leaf. Immediately, I became curious. I tried to apply luck and found that the power on the bodhi leaf was not very strong. If I wanted to open it, I could do it. do it. ()
