Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty

After reciting the rejuvenation mantra ten times, Fa Kong dispersed his mudra, opened his eyes, and titheed: "I have seen the princess."

"Thank you, monk." Xu Miaoru said solemnly.

Fa Kong smiled.

Xu Miaoru asked what kind of Buddhist mantra this was and why it had such a wonderful effect. Other eminent monks also cast Buddhist mantras on their behalf, but it had no effect.

I originally thought it was because I was not pious enough and had insufficient faith in Buddhism, but it turned out to be because the person who cast the spell was different.

"Princess, if there is a cause, there must be an effect. The reason why I came here from the snowy mountains thousands of miles away is because of the Dharma. This is the cause planted by the princess herself. The poor monk is just a coincidence."

"The world is really wonderful..." Xu Miaoru sighed.

If he didn't believe in Buddhism and didn't keep offering incense to Daleiyin Temple to fulfill his vows, how could Yu'er go to Daxue Mountain and get to know the eminent monk in front of him? He had died yesterday and was going to be reincarnated today.

In the dark, there is an invisible thread that connects you to the Dharma. This thread is the Dharma.

"Xiao Tao."

"yes."

The plump and graceful maid twisted her slender waist and walked out of the pavilion. She quickly came out from the waterside pavilion holding a small red sandalwood box and presented it to the stone table.

Xu Miaoru pointed to the red sandalwood box, smiled at Fakong and said, "Monk, this is the relic of a divine monk who returned to enlightenment in ancient times."

Fakong raised his eyebrows slightly.

He was very curious about this holy monk and even more curious about his relics.

An ordinary relic cannot be exchanged for the Leiyin Marrow Cleansing Sutra, nor can it be exchanged for the Yuanjue Feitian Sutra.

Xu Miaoru said: "I believe that the great enlightened monk is also happy to meet you, the sacred monk."

"Princess, I am ashamed to be called a divine monk. I am just a medicine-growing monk at Vajra Temple."

"The holy monk looks at Buddhism, not martial arts, not status. Monk, you are obsessed with appearance."

Fakong smiled and said: "When you are in the secular world, you are in the physical world. How can you not be in the physical world? Just call me monk."

"Okay, okay." Seeing how self-effacing he was, Xu Miaoru no longer forced herself: "Monk, don't you take a look?"

Fakong gently opened the red sandalwood box.

An amber-like relic was lying quietly on the golden satin, and the golden satin reflected a more aura of wealth.

Fa Kong solemnly tithes.

Then he gently stretched out his right hand and picked up the relic.

There is no strange feeling.

Xu Miaoru, Chu Yu and the two maids all stared at him curiously, unblinking for fear of missing something.

But everything was ordinary and normal.

Fa Kong put the relic between his eyebrows.

"Boom!" There was a muffled sound.

His mind was shaken as a luminous pearl appeared in front of the Medicine Buddha statue, slowly approaching the red mole between the Medicine Buddha's eyebrows.

Fakong became a little monk in a trance and lived in a small temple since he was a child.

There are only three monks in the temple. In addition to the master and him, there is also a senior brother.

He is physically strong, while his senior brother is thin and suffers from illness all day long. However, he is devout to Buddhism and insists on attending morning, noon and evening classes, and does not violate his practice.

Later, the master began to teach him Buddhism, preach Buddhist scriptures, and make Buddhist mantras to subdue his mind.

As time passed, Master and Senior Brother passed away one by one.

When the two passed away, their bodies spontaneously ignited without fire and turned into a rainbow light, leaving no relics behind.

He was the only one left in the temple, and he continued to chant sutras all day long. His mood was perfect, and he finally passed away.

But he left a few relics.

Time is unknown in the mountains, and all three of them lived to be one hundred and thirty years old.

Fakong woke up leisurely.

He experienced the life of the great monk Da Huanwu. Although it was dull, it was a long enough life.

"Monk?" Xu Miaoru looked at him.

Fakong nodded slowly: "I gained something."

What Monk Da Huanwu practices is Buddhism and does not involve martial arts. There are also many Buddhist mantras. The key is the state of mind.

The Pure Heart Mantra, the Rejuvenation Mantra, and the Great Light Mantra were all practiced by the great monk Da Huanwu. After hundreds of years of unremitting practice, they have reached the level of mastery and fluency.

In the inner world of Monk Dahuanwu, the three great mantras have reached the point where they shine brightly and affect the self-nature, thus affecting the body.

People nowadays do not have deep faith in Buddhist mantras, so even if they can be used in the inner world, their effect is limited.

This further erodes confidence, further limiting its power.

Forming a vicious cycle.

The confidence of Da Huan Enlightenment is firm, so the inner world is bright and has a greater impact on oneself, so the confidence is firmer and the magical effect is stronger.

This is a virtuous cycle.

There is a vicious cycle and a virtuous cycle between the two, resulting in very different effects.

He compares.

Although Monk Da Huanwu's Buddhist mantra has limited effect on outsiders, its effect on oneself is no less effective than the current Buddha mantra of Fa Kong.

This shows the depth of his practice.

The experience of realizing the greatness of Dharma and emptiness has unknowingly raised the level of the three mantras to a higher level.

"Princess, this string of Buddhist beads is pretty good." Fakong looked at the string of Buddhist beads on Xu Miaoruhao's wrist.

"I also got this from the Great Enlightenment Divine Monk." Xu Miaoru smiled and took off the beads and handed them over: "It is indeed wonderful to calm the mind and calm the energy."

Fa Kong took it with a smile.

The two maids looked at Xu Miaoru and Fakong curiously.

The princess was particularly fond of this monk Fakong, and she even gave him all her belongings.

Chu Yu smiled.

He knew that Fa Kong would never ask for this Buddha bead without any reason, and he was not such a ignorant person.

Fakong took the beads and felt a sense of familiarity and intimacy, as if his belongings were finally back in his hands after a long time.

He closed his eyes again, gently moved the beads, and his lips moved.

He moved the beads ten times in total.

After these ten rounds, the originally shiny beads became dull and dark, as if they had turned from agate to wood.

All this happened before their eyes.

Fakong handed it back to Xu Miaoru.

Xu Miaoru smiled and said, "If the monk likes it, take it. I'll find another string."

Fakong shook his head: "The princess has a connection with it, so you should wear it."

Xu Miaoru took it back.

She felt different when she touched it.

Although it looked like wood, she knew it was still the original agate texture when she touched it.

What's more amazing is that as she touched it, a cool breath came in and passed along her arm to her mind in an instant.

She was immediately refreshed, and her mind became clear and refreshed, as if a faint mist had been dispelled.

Not only did her thoughts become clear, but the world also became clear.

What she saw with her bright eyes became richer in color and details, and the same world was a different world.

She looked at Fakong in amazement: "It's amazing."

"It's just a trick." Fakong shook his head and said: "In this world, martial arts is still a convenient way, these are just minor ways."

This is from the memory of the monk Da Huanwu - the method of blessing objects.

He has already blessed the Qingxin Mantra into this string of Buddhist beads, and its effect can last for a year.

How amazing is this?

However, it is also because the Qingxin Mantra is the highest level among the four mantras he practiced, so it can last for so long, and that's why he blessed the Qingxin Mantra on this string of Buddhist beads.

If the Rejuvenation Mantra is blessed, it can only last for a month.

"Martial arts are the minor path, these are the major path." Xu Miaoru said: "Can martial arts save my life?"

Fakong smiled and said: "Most of the time, martial arts can save lives. Practicing martial arts cannot prolong life, but it can strengthen the body, reduce illness, and save lives in dangerous times."

Xu Miaoru shook her head: "Why should monks belittle themselves? After practicing martial arts, they often show off their strength and fight fiercely, which will cause disasters, and practicing martial arts will also shorten their lives."

Fakong smiled and said nothing more.

It seems that Xu Miaoru is also a wise person.

Practicing martial arts strengthens the body, but it does shorten life.

The two continued to talk about Buddhism. Xu Miaoru has studied Buddhism very deeply, but there are many confusions.

Many Buddhist scriptures are not guided by a wise master, and they will feel contradictory and confusing when reading them.

Fakong has the memory of Huiwen, and now he has the memory of the monk Dahuanwu, plus the wonderful enlightenment of several Xijia Baye Sutras, and wisdom arises spontaneously.

He gently pointed it out, and Xu Miaoru felt as if the clouds and fog had been cleared, and suddenly she realized something, which was better than reading for ten years.

"Monk, are you really going to leave after tomorrow?"

"Princess, please forgive me."

"Okay, I'm almost well now, and I'll go to the Vajra Temple to ask for advice later."

--

The night was like water.

Fakong stood quietly in the center of Shuyu Courtyard, looking up at the sky.

The moon in Shenjing was no different from that in Daxue Mountain.

A bright moon.

The clear light spread all over the world.

He was still thinking about the life of Monk Dahuanwu, who also looked at the sky like this every night, with a mood like water.

Just live a quiet and unknown life like the grass and trees in the forest and the wild flowers in the mountains, is it willing?

Monk Dahuanwu often asked this question, but he would soon be suppressed by the power of faith and return to peace again.

Fakong shook his head.

It's actually quite good to live like this.

Everyone is a passerby, and they pass through this world in a hurry, like a dream of more than 30,000 days.

However, as long as nothing unexpected happens, he is not a passer-by, and he can live forever, and he can watch the vicissitudes of this world and the comings and goings of people in this world.

Thinking of this, he lost his fear and his heart was as calm as water.

He looked into the emptiness of his mind and saw that the halo became clearer.

He never expected that the princess would also provide him with faith.

More importantly, the princess gave him two points of faith, which was twice that of Lianxue.

Could it be that saving a life can make her believe in him and provide him with the power of faith?

I am afraid not.

He saved Lianxue's life, saved the princess' life, but also saved Ning Zhenzhen's life.

Why did only the two of them generate the power of faith?

What is the mystery in this?

How did faith come about?

The more he thought about it, the more mysterious it was, and it was worth exploring.

Unfortunately, the words had been sent out, and he would leave after three days, so he could not keep pulling the princess's power of faith.

What a pity.

He suddenly realized something and looked at the wall.

The moonlight shines on the wall, but it cannot illuminate the shadow at the base of the wall.

Fakong's eyes fell on a certain part of the shadow.

He saw a middle-aged man standing there quietly, as if he had always been standing there, but he just didn't notice it.

But Fakong was sure that he had just appeared.

The shadow was like water, and he came silently in the shadow.
