I am immortal

But it was said that the old scalper brought many prepared spiritual objects, stepped on the auspicious clouds, and went straight to the Lei Mansion to find the general of San Wu Fire Spirit over there. Using his disaster fighting, he was going to use thunder and fire like this. The power of Yang Zhigang has been used to refine many once great monsters into the purest and harmless auras.

Speaking of which, the old scalper himself was once a great demon, but he refused to obey discipline. He was once a demon in the lower world, and he had several fights with many divine generals of the Lei Department, but he did not offend the thirty-six members of the Lei Department. The God General of the Department took action, leaving behind a whole body with beards, tail, body and soul. It should be noted that the Lei Department is already known as the strongest war department in the world, and the thirty-six Lei Generals are the strongest among them. The number of thirty-six is ​​constant. Its personnel are different.

All the gods of the Lei Department can challenge these thirty-six titles.

The strong advance, the weak retreat.

This resulted in the combat capabilities of these thirty-six thunder generals being guaranteed.

It can be said that he is the most capable of the thirty-six divine generals among the strongest fighting force in the heaven.

He is not responsible for bringing rain and thunder.

Nor is it responsible for driving away evil spirits with thunder.

He is only responsible for heavenly punishment and heavenly tribulation, which is the so-called five thunderbolts from heaven.

Although the old scalper has never met these thirty-six thunder generals, the many thunder generals below are old acquaintances.

There were a lot of fights back then.

Later, when he got a chance and joined the Doubu, Lao Niu was extremely wealthy. He spent all his family wealth and held a banquet for thirty days. There were many delicacies and jade plates, as well as spiritual fruits and wine. On top of it, he took out a lot of treasures and went to the Guanghan Palace of Taiyin True Monarch to invite thirty beauties to come and dance and play music.

Those who practice the thunder method are upright and upright in temperament. They can easily form enemies and break up enemies easily.

What’s more, this old scalper kicked down the Buddhist temples and pagodas of Medicine Master Glazed Light Tathagata and ran all the way here.

Each one is even more amazing.

Just say something awesome.

I also found out that the old scalper also kicked the old monk to stagger and ate up all the lotus flowers in the lotus pond.

Even more awe-inspiring.

Coupled with the good wine, delicious food and beautiful women, this old scalper was willing to spend money, and he talked and laughed so boldly that he became familiar with each other in a short time. We put arms around each other and said "brother" to you and "brother" to me, and drank happily. A month of wine makes the world happy. It's the Great Heat, and the sky has been overcast for a month, so the heat has subsided.

Only one bad thing.

During the whole month, there was only thunder but no rain in the sky.

The thunder was noisy, almost like someone stroking their beard and laughing.

In the end, the true kings of the Lei Department discovered this and became furious.

He urged these drunken and swaying Leibu lords to hurry up and make it rain, so everyone stumbled over the banquet, knocking over a jar of wine, and the rain started falling, and they were drunk. world.

"Hey, what a pity the wine is!"

"Ha, it's really raining!"

That day the heavy rain broke the heat.

The old scalper and the thunder generals burst out laughing when they talked about past events.

But the god general smiled and said: "It's you, why do you like to write things backwards? Instructing people to go to the rain should be the first thing to do, but writing it backwards makes people remember it wrong and delays things. , provoked the Yuxingyun officials, the mighty swords and mighty spirit officials, and the fire bell messengers all got angry, and went to Lei Mansion, [Lei Bo Qing Emperor Lei Jun] came in person, and we had a good meal."

The old scalper scratched his head and said, "Haha, isn't that what I'm used to?"

"When I was a demon king in the lower realm, the most important thing was to keep the message secret, so I got used to writing it backwards..."

He paused, then raised his hand and slapped his forehead, shouting: "Oops, no good!"

"Writing went smoothly!"

"The letter to Xiao Wuhuo was also written backwards. What should I do about this?"

I originally planned to get up, but I could see that the thunder fire was being turned on and the spiritual materials were being tempered. I had to watch over him, and I couldn't leave. After thinking about it, I finally had to sit back to my original position and sighed. , said: "You can't get away from this, that's all. This foundation is the most important."

"I have to go and talk to Wuhuo tomorrow..."

………………

Qi Wuhuo finished the [Yuanguang Apparition Technique] and went to the Xuan Altar. The old scalper's cultivation level was really much higher than him, and he could use all the energy that could be sent to him immediately in one breath. After being sent over, these qi machines belonging to the major mythical beasts and monsters were stuffed into jade bottles and sealed very tightly.

These jade bottles are also quite extraordinary.

The materials are all transparent, and all the miscellaneous aura and spiritual energy in them have been extracted.

Therefore, it can be directly used to hold qi machines without making these qi machines impure.

A one-time forced seal is added to the mouth of the bottle.

To prevent these auras from flying away.

Although these auras have been tempered once and the spirituality and wildness in them have been greatly dissipated, after all, they are extraordinary and can easily leak out and dissipate between heaven and earth.

There are pieces of white paper pasted on it to carefully distinguish the ownership and origin of these things, so as to prevent the young Taoist from not knowing who the breath in each bottle belongs to. However, the young Taoist actually became a monk on the way to Taoism, and did not grow up in the heaven. This one A name is, after all, just a name on a blank piece of paper.

The young Taoist just arranged them.

Arranged as order of use.

"Huh? Uncle Niu, has it been arranged?"

"He once said that you have to gradually adapt from weak to strong..."

Qi Wuhuo looked at the list given by the old scalper, but he didn't know the old scalper's habits. He picked up the first bottle and saw that there was Qi inside and was green, like the vast sky. He immediately looked at the words written on it The title of the written text is——

[Nine-Headed Lion Yuanzun Holy Spirit]

"Is this the weakest one?"

"I heard from Uncle Niu that it's the weakest. It's basically not difficult. It's just for training."

Qi Wuhuo picked up the bottle and looked at the peacock egg on the cushion next to it.

He gently stroked the eggshell with his fingers and felt that the spirit inside was sleeping. After thinking about it, he put the jade bottle back again, thinking of waiting for the peacock's spirit to wake up before trying again. Then he meditated on the bed and exhaled. When the time came, he lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, I got up and swept the courtyard of the Taoist temple.

There are also evergreen trees here, and the cold wind in winter blows down many of them every night, making a rustling sound.

The little Taoist priest ran in quickly: "Uncle Qi, Uncle Qi, I bought what you wanted!"

The young Taoist put the broom in his hand to one side. This broom is made of broom greens whose branches become rough and hard in autumn. In spring, this broom greens is actually a rare and refreshing wild vegetable, also known as kochia. It can be used to stop diarrhea and cure sores. Qi Wuhuo likes the taste of it after it is boiled. It is also very useful for sweeping the floor. At this time, the little Taoist priest had put a large cloth bag in the on the ground.

Although Mingxin is not old, she is still recuperating.

His physical strength is light and strong, actually no worse than that of an adult man. Carrying such a big bag, he only panted slightly, wiped his sweat, picked up a spoonful of water from the water tank, drank it, and felt refreshed. After a while, his fatigue disappeared, and he watched the young Taoist open his pocket. Inside was the pungent realgar, and he couldn't help but curiously said:

"But, Uncle Qi, what do you want to buy this realgar for?"

"If you want to get rid of poisonous insects, just a small piece will be enough."

The young Taoist said gently: "A small piece is not enough."

Looking up at the city, he could already guess that it was precisely because the water god didn't rain enough that the plague had not been suppressed, causing diseases to run rampant in the city. After much thought, he could only use realgar, which can remove evil spirits. The medicine is dissolved into water and sprinkled in the city. It can be suppressed a little, in the hope that it will stun the rain and ward off evil spirits with thunder.

Qi Wuhuo took a large bucket, broke open the solid realgar, ground it into powder, and dissolved it into the water.

Fingers move slightly.

The "Yunyu Chess Game" I received from Mr. Ao Liu circulated in my heart.

So the water in the bucket seemed to turn into a water snake, circling in the wooden bucket, mixing the realgar powder evenly into the water. This method made the eyes of the little Taoist Mingxin next to him brighten up, and he pulled Qi Wu Huoxiu said: "Uncle Qi, Uncle Qi, what kind of trick is this? It's so interesting!"

"Can you teach me something?!"

A scroll of Taoist scriptures in the old Taoist priest's hand hit Ming Xin's head directly, making the little Taoist groan and look at the teacher with a face full of complaints.

The old Taoist priest glared at him and said: "You don't have enough soul, your energy is mixed, and you haven't laid a solid foundation, so you want to do such a thing? Isn't it too ambitious?!"

The little Taoist priest was melancholy and regretful.

The young Taoist smiled gently and did not answer. After all, this was Mr. Ao Liu's method and should not be taught lightly without permission.

The Taoist temple is located slightly higher in Zhongzhou City. He stood on the high point of the Taoist temple and looked far away. He could take in most of the city. But at this moment, he felt a little regretful. It was a pity that his cultivation was not enough. If he had an innate talent, If you reach the realm, you can turn this real yellow water into the shape of a water dragon or a water snake, then rise into the clouds, and then it can rain. It only takes one day to make it rain all over the city.

Not now.

If you don't have enough cultivation, you can't do such a thing.

He still had to take the bucket and sprinkle water honestly.

The little Taoist priest Mingxin heard that he didn't need to do his homework, so he quickly volunteered. He had also cultivated Qi and had enough strength.

This bucket is quite big and can fit one person in. The old Taoist priest said that when he was a child, he held the little Taoist priest in this big bucket and soaked him in the bath. The little Taoist priest clearly carried the bucket, and Qi Wuhu controlled his vitality. This method controlled the water flow so that it would not waste too much when it was spilled. When the bucket of water was exhausted, I had already reached the end of the street and saw that the soup kitchen stall from yesterday was still there.

There are also great monks who have built sheds to receive patients.

Qi Wuzhuo was slightly surprised, but he saw that the monk was an acquaintance. He was the same monk who had chased the fortune teller to the brothel in Pingkangfang. The great monk also recognized Qi Wuzhuo. Smiling and nodding, he signaled the young man to wait a moment, then he helped diagnose and treat a patient, took out the medicine and handed it over. He gently explained the contraindications for taking the medicine, and then stood up and came over.

He clasped his hands together and said in a gentle voice: "The poor monk has met the little Taoist priest, and we have met again."

Qi Wuhuo responded in a Taoist way and said, "Master, this is..."

The great monk replied: "Because the epidemic has been rampant in recent days, the poor monk had no choice but to let the guy go and come here for consultation first."

He was a gentle-looking monk. Hearing the coughing sounds around him, he clasped his hands together, lowered his eyes and sighed:

"Mercy, mercy."

"All living beings suffer."

"The fortune teller can be arrested later, and the poor monk can wait, but the illness of many people cannot be delayed."

"At worst, let him run away first, and the poor monk can chase after him later."

"Ah, little friend, do you want to eat something? I have dried soybeans here, they taste very good."

The young Taoist took the soybeans, handed them to Xiao Mingxin, and said, "All living beings suffer?"

The great monk nodded and said, "Yes...Have the little Taoist priest ever heard of the most basic principles of Buddhism?"

Qi Wuhuo replied: "I don't know, I would like to ask the master for advice."

While brewing crude tea, the great monk said, "The most basic concepts of Buddhism are called the Four Noble Truths."

"It is the death of suffering that destroys the path. Among the most basic concepts of the Four Truths, the most basic point is [the truth of suffering]. Everything in the world is suffering. Although there is prosperity and beauty, beauty is always short-lived. Youth is strong , but will grow old in a blink of an eye, the spring day is beautiful, but then it will be scorching heat, the flowers will bloom brilliantly, and soon the flowers will fall, that's all..."

The young Taoist thought thoughtfully and said to himself: "The truth of suffering?"

He followed the monk's line of sight and saw the scene in front of him.

He immediately shook his head and said, "I don't think so."

"Although the flowers have fallen, they have bloomed after all; youth is beautiful, so why is it painful to grow older?"

"The master said that falling flowers is suffering, but it is because of greed for the beauty of blooming; saying that getting older is suffering, but it is because of the wish to stay young forever."

"The so-called [Truth of Suffering] says that all living beings in the world are suffering, but is it just because you are too attached to these living beings?"

The young Taoist sighed:

"The person who proposed this truth of suffering must be very gentle, right? I don't think I have ever seen such a gentle person."

"The best time to love all living beings."

"Yet I am also obsessed with my greatest desires. I hope that all living beings will always be healthy and young, and that flowers will bloom undefeated."

"His desire is so persistent."

The monk was slightly startled, as if he had encountered something incredible, and subconsciously looked at the young Taoist in front of him.

After a long time, he said: "My little friend is indeed very talented."

"The second of the four truths of Buddhism is exactly the "collection of truths". It is the same as what my little friend said. It says that all suffering comes from desire."

"Besides these are the two truths of cessation and Tao."

"[The Truth of Death] means that only by eradicating all causes of worldly suffering can one enter the ideal realm."

The young Taoist thought thoughtfully and said naturally: "It's a little extreme...to eliminate everything, do it thoroughly but leave no way out."

"If this is the case, then you should continue to practice yourself, so that you can return to a more natural posture from such an extreme state."

The monk was silent for a long time and sighed:

"Taoist priest...very understanding."

"The last truth is called [Tao Truth], and it is said to reach the highest state and realm."

"It requires long-term practice."

The young Taoist took the tea handed to him by the monk, thought for a long time, and said:

"It turns out that [suffering] [collection] [destruction] [path] are not parallel, but one person's path."

"When I see these four truths, it's like seeing him."

"I saw him go from loving all living beings to feeling sad because he realized that everything is fleeting. Then he saw that everything could foresee its ending. He felt that everything in the world was painful, wandered and melancholy, and chose to cut off his own life. Desire, I still love the common people, but I will no longer suffer pain."

"But in the end I realized that this path was paranoid, so I came back."

"This is his practice, and it is also a very complete [mind training]. It is his method and his way."

"It's also his sorrow and persistence."

"I see."

The great monk was silent, holding the tea, his palms trembling.

I wanted to drink the tea soup, but I couldn't hold it up at all.

Finally, he let out a long sigh and was speechless. He put down the tea cup, stood up, his sleeves and robe were half wet, he just put his hands together and said:

"A real person with a good heart!"

"It is said that the Buddha once briefly appeared under the Bodhi tree and then disappeared. He was never born. He only taught the most basic theories of Buddhism. This is one of them. Everything is included in the Four Noble Truths. Therefore, it is said that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has a mount. , it is called [True Listen], which means [Listen to the Four Noble Truths], you can hear all the suffering, all desires, and all the ways of the world."

Just as he was about to continue speaking, he suddenly paused.

In other words, almost everyone raised their heads.

The whole city was boiling. Everyone raised their heads and looked to the west. It was clearly not yet noon, but suddenly there was a large area of ​​​​rays of light in the west. Although it was rays of light, it was a large area of ​​red, as red as blood. Yes, the Buddhist temple bell in the capital of Zhongzhou moved without any wind and struck eighteen times. The great monk was stunned for a long time, his palms trembling, and suddenly——

The string of beads in his hand fell apart and the beads fell to the ground.

Under this blood-like glow, the Buddha characters are full of bright red.

The great monk was silent for a long time and murmured:

"There is a Buddha."

"Nirvana...?"
