Lonely Immortal

So no matter what kind of memory it is, it will eventually disappear and be forgotten. Only the self will not disappear or be forgotten, and the formation of the self is nurtured by a series of past events.

It is naturally impossible for Zhang Zhiwen to know what he experienced in his previous life, but his current self was cultivated bit by bit by past events, just like he has experienced various sufferings in this life. These sufferings are not useless at all; Very useful.

People often say that a person grows up after going through some ups and downs, and the best way to grow is to constantly encounter various setbacks. The same is true for Zhang Zhiwen. He lost his parents when he was a child and wandered around as an orphan. , this is not an experience that ordinary people can imagine, which shaped his extremely tough character.

In fact, he also wants to live a comfortable life, just like now, he wants to stay in this village that is isolated from the world forever, and then he doesn't care about anything, doesn't think about anything, he just enjoys it lazily in the sun. Life.

But things in the world are unpredictable, and many things are arranged by fate, which cannot be changed by human power. Even if you practice immortality, you can't change it. You can only continue to fight, and the process of fighting is practice, and constantly improve your self. Willpower ultimately makes the soul more perfect.

Zhang Zhiwen's soul is the reincarnated Taoist soul, but he vaguely feels that some future directions do not stop there. Of course, he cannot transcend this framework at the moment. At least for now, even if he has insights again, his Taoist soul will still remain the same. It’s just the state of reincarnation.

In addition, his souls also include the demon soul soul and the beast soul soul. These require a lot of external force to promote improvement. He improved these two souls by chance, making his original soul more powerful. I am becoming more and more perfect.

Most people only have a very single soul, which is naturally incomparable to Zhang Zhiwen's. However, this is also an improvement brought about by the perfect practice of the reincarnated Taoist soul, and it is not something that can be achieved overnight.

Even so, Zhang Zhiwen felt that he wanted to live easily, and the essence of his self is to live, to live quietly and comfortably, that is the most beautiful thing in the world, too much desire cannot bring any happiness , on the contrary, a calm mood and a relaxed mind are the eternal melody.

He was tired of fighting and killing, but he had to face the dispute. Looking at the blue sky, he was in a trance. At this time, he no longer thought about how he appeared in this place.

He just wanted to stay quietly for a while, but the surrounding area of ​​the village gradually became lively, and he had to leave this place of right and wrong. He didn't know why the farmers here were so hostile to him and regarded him as a so-called monster. treat.

Zhang Zhiwen didn't want to pay too much attention to these things. He might just be able to wander aimlessly in this place. Therefore, he walked through the woods, across the fields, and walked into the distance step by step. In this place between heaven and earth In the emptiness, only Zhang Zhiwen was walking alone.

Maybe everyone is the same, lonely and helpless, but everyone is also an elf in this world, hiding everywhere, living in every reincarnation, neither happy nor sad, maybe That is the best kind of detachment.

Zhang Zhiwen just walked in this world. He gradually got away from the crowd and came to the mountains. He climbed the mountains one after another and saw different scenery one after another. Finally, he came to a temple. At the door, he stopped for a moment.

This temple stands in the deep mountains and old forests, remote and gloomy, and the surroundings are gradually losing light. Even the sun cannot come to this place, and the evil spirit here is high, but the lights are bright.

Zhang Zhiwen didn't know why he suddenly came to such a place. It was obviously not a good place, but now that he was here, he didn't care. His heart was blank at the moment, and he had no other thoughts, so he walked towards the temple. .

As he walked towards the temple step by step, the light around him began to become brighter, as if he had opened another world, and this world also had a glimmer of life because of his arrival, and this glimmer of vitality seemed to be contagious. It continued to expand and spread, and finally formed an extremely beautiful scene.

At this moment, the surrounding lights were on, the sound of chanting came from the temple, and some monks gradually appeared at the door. These monks were coming and going, some were cleaning, some were carrying water, and some were farming. , these monks are like characters in a drama, appearing one after another.

But these are not unfamiliar to Zhang Zhiwen. This is the treachery of demons and the illusion of the law, but he did not reject these. He came to the temple, and then he was stopped by the monks.

"Amitabha, donor, this temple has important events to be held tonight. It is not convenient to entertain guests from outside. Please come back, donor."

A monk said to Zhang Zhiwen.

This monk was responsible for sweeping the floor, or maybe he was also responsible for guarding the gate. He stopped Zhang Zhiwen and said that something important was going to be held here, but it seemed to be the case, otherwise why would the temple be brightly lit and bustling with people? ?

When Zhang Zhiwen saw this, he didn't really care. This false thing was not worth mentioning. He just wondered why he suddenly came to such a false place again. Therefore, he was also curious: " Then I dare to ask the Master, what important things are happening here? "

"Oh, I have no comment on this matter. Donor, please go back. This is not the place you should come."

The monk spoke in a very polite tone, but what he said was not polite. He seemed to want to drive Zhang Zhiwen away.

Zhang Zhiwen smiled, and then slapped him away. His character was like this. If he could beat someone, he would definitely not be polite. If he couldn't beat someone, he would definitely run away.

This monk is just building his foundation. A slap is enough to send him to see the Buddha. Of course, I hope he can still see the Buddha instead of some old demon, because Zhang Zhiwen has a feeling that there is something like the old demon here. Relational.

Therefore, he slapped the monk away directly. The monk's screams spread, and the monks around him were shocked. Then they saw that Zhang Zhiwen was making trouble here, so they were naturally rude. These monks held their sticks and headed towards Zhang Zhiwen rushed over.

What a monk, what a compassionate heart, but he is not like this when he beats people, and he is so cruel. What kind of monk is this? They are clearly violent fanatics, but in this case, Zhang Zhiwen will naturally not follow. They were being polite, he took action directly.

As soon as he did this, he realized that something was wrong. His Taoist skills disappeared and his demon power disappeared, but only his physical body became extremely powerful. He even felt that his physical body and this space were about to merge into one. .

But Zhang Zhiwen didn't have time to think too much at this time. In just a few seconds, he knocked the group of monks to the ground.

Seeing these half-dead monks wailing on the ground, he clapped his hands and then strode into the temple calmly. He wanted to see what was going on here and why he was here again.

Entering from the door, there is a large courtyard. This temple occupies a quite large area. After entering, there are many fewer people here. I don’t know what the monks are busy outside, and I don’t see anything in this courtyard. What kind of banquets and things like that? What are they busy with?

Zhang Zhiwen was a little puzzled, but he still came to the center of the courtyard. The ground of the courtyard was paved with green bricks, and green pines were planted around it. In front of it was a copper tripod, in which incense was burning, and the incense was constantly flying out. The smell is quite comfortable. Moving forward, there is the Main Hall. Standing here, Zhang Zhiwen can already see the situation inside the Main Hall.

In the main hall, the lights are brightly lit, and there are many monks. They seem to be doing some rituals. Then, one after another, they are strung together to form a long queue. While chanting sutras, they keep their heads down and circle forward. This is what is often done in the temple. Use the scene as it should be done.

Zhang Zhiwen is naturally familiar with this. When he was in Wuping County, he had seen temples performing religious services. He was a beggar at that time, and he went there secretly just to get some food, but he was still caught by the monks. Then Fatty was beaten so hard that his ribs were almost broken.

How can this pure place of Buddhism allow a filthy little beggar like him to wander in, right? Then we have to give a lesson to Zhang Zhiwen, a little guy who doesn’t know what to do and doesn’t respect Buddhism, on behalf of the Buddha. The truth is the same, too. It makes sense.

But shouldn’t the pure place of Buddhism open its doors widely to save all sentient beings?

This was Zhang Zhiwen's immature thought before he was beaten when he was a child. But after he was severely beaten, he understood what was going on. He was not a pilgrim, and he was not a Buddhist. It was right for them to drive him away. This The pure place of Buddhism is also a place open for business. Every Bodhisattva has a pit. I don’t know what the Bodhisattva thinks. Of course, These things are not important. What is important is that after Zhang Zhiwen was severely beaten, he was tied up by a group of monks and finally handed over to the government.

The government locked him up and kept him squatting there for half a year. Then they really felt that Zhang Zhiwen was of no use and no one came to protect him, so they drove him away.

After he was kicked out, he was no longer a human being or a ghost. He almost died in it and almost went to see the Buddha.

Therefore, he does not think that these monks are really doing their work for the so-called peaceful world. In this troubled world, there are only some ascetic Taoist priests walking around the world. How can there be any monks to help the world? Therefore, he was not surprised at all. What he was surprised about was why the monk did what he did. What are you doing here?

Zhang Zhiwen walked towards the Main Hall step by step, but soon he was stopped again. He moved his hands and hit people outside. This must have attracted the attention of some senior officials in the temple. Then Naturally, he wanted to stop this uninvited guest here.

"Donor, please stay."

An old monk appeared. He looked like he was of high status. He was wearing a yellow robe and had a string of beads in his hand. He also had some ring marks on his head. He looked white and clean. Pure and pampered.

A group of monks holding staffs gathered around. These monks were all dressed in green and strong. They seemed to be the backbone of the temple and were responsible for fighting.

Otherwise, this place of Buddhism requires martial arts training, and you have to fight with people at any time. How can you do it without martial arts? Otherwise, if some troublemakers come and affect their business, they will be helpless.

"Get out of the way."

Zhang Zhiwen was too lazy to talk nonsense to these monks. When he came here, he naturally wanted to find out.

"The donor is determined to have his own way, and he must have trouble with this temple?"

The old monk's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, and it seemed that he was going to fight.

Zhang Zhiwen sneered, and then he started to fight directly. There was no need to talk nonsense with these bald donkeys, just knock them down directly.

Seeing Zhang Zhiwen take action, the old monk was shocked, and then the monks in green clothes quickly surrounded him and started fighting with Zhang Zhiwen, but soon, these people regretted it, because Zhang Zhiwen's fists and feet were very strong, and he knocked them down in a few moves.

For a while, the qi was rampant, and the blue bricks in the yard were exploded. I don't know how many green pines were broken by Zhang Zhiwen's qi. The old monk was scared and pale, and retreated again and again.

Zhang Zhiwen ignored it. He slightly lifted the hem of his clothes, and then continued to stride towards the main hall. Seeing this, the old monk hurried over again.

Zhang Zhiwen turned around and glared at him coldly. If the old monk still stopped him, he would have to beat him up. But the old monk suddenly smiled and said very politely: "Donor, wait a minute, donor, since you are here, you are also a distinguished guest of our temple. Why don't you go to the side room with me to rest and drink tea, so that I can show my hospitality as a host?"

Zhang Zhiwen was a little surprised. The old monk changed his face again and asked him to go to the side room to entertain him. The monk was really good at observing words and expressions. Seeing that he couldn't beat Zhang Zhiwen, he naturally had to be polite.

But Zhang Zhiwen snorted coldly: "That's not necessary. I just want to see what you are doing."

"Oh no no..."

The old monk saw that Zhang Zhiwen was still determined to go to the main hall, and he stopped Zhang Zhiwen again.

This made Zhang Zhiwen even more curious. He had to see what was going on, otherwise he would not leave. In addition, he always felt that this place was strange. Therefore, when the old monk stopped him again, he was not polite and attacked again.

But at this moment, a Buddhist chant was heard, and then a golden light attacked Zhang Zhiwen like lightning.

Zhang Zhiwen snorted coldly and punched out. This punch exploded, twisting and tearing the space directly, and then the golden light also slammed into the fist.

There was only a loud noise, the space exploded, and the energy swept out wantonly, like a thunderous explosion, the momentum was extremely shocking!
