Look In the Mirror

  Chapter 667 The Secret of the Abbot

   After going down the mountain, Li Chen's greatest achievement is that he discovered his own shortcomings.

  Since the beginning of his practice, he has comprehended the "Bacchanalia" from "The Scripture of Transforming Blood".

  Afterwards, he worshiped the alcoholic Qu Huanbo as his teacher, and learned the method of "brewing" in the way of drinking, and officially entered the innate.

  Since then, "Consider" and "Drunk" are all methods of drinking.

  Indigenous wood brewed with fire in water, golden bottle and jade liquid, small universe.

  Wine Tao contains yin and yang, which combine to form the five elements, which is really the way of nature.

  Cooperate with the majestic and majestic Zen secret method.

  Since practicing Lichen, I have rarely encountered bottlenecks.

  But also because the road is too smooth, so there is a lack of precipitation.

  So he was determined to retreat and practice.

  The next day, Li Chen went to the Sutra Pavilion to visit Master Mi Jian.

  When Zen Master Mi Jian saw Li Chen, his face was also full of excitement.

  If you say, who can best witness the rise and fall of Shasheng Temple.

  Who else is this master?

  From the fifth generation abbot, Shasheng Temple was the leader of southern Xinjiang, to the seventh generation abbot, had to close the temple and seal the mountain.

  He has always lived in seclusion at the highest level of the Sutra Pavilion.

  True Sweeping Monk.

   What makes Li Chen curious is that the appearance of this master is even a few years younger than his master Lonely Zen Master.

   Presumably it means success in cultivation and eternal youth.

   "Amitabha."

"Not bad!"

  Master Mi Jian looked up and down at the young monk in front of him, his eyes were already slightly moist.

  Unexpectedly, one day, I would be able to watch a guru emerge from the Shasheng Temple.

   "I originally thought that the seventh-generation abbot, Hui Zhuo, was my disciple with the highest Zen quality in Shasheng Temple."

   "It's a pity that he missed a few opportunities back then, and in the end he was seriously injured and missed the establishment of the clan."

   "I thought that I would never wait until that day in this life."

   "I didn't expect, I didn't expect that you could fulfill the wish of the seventh generation abbot!"

   "It is indeed the blessing of the Buddha."

   Speaking of which, he clasped his devout hands together and bowed deeply to the void.

   Mentioning that the seventh-generation abbot Lichen suddenly remembered the "Nirvana Pill" that the abbot Zhenzhen said when he was in Landa Temple.

  Back then, at the auspicious Dharma meeting, the abbot of the dark and muddy battled with the group of monks. In the Zen forest, he was plotted against by the "Hu Lei Qin" of the Daleiyin Temple.

   At the time of life and death, he ate the 'Nirvana Pill' from the Landa Temple.

   This nirvana pill is refined from the Nirvana grass where the Buddha sat down.

  True rebirth, false nirvana.

   It is both a holy medicine and a poison.

  After eating, no matter how much damage you have suffered, as long as there is still a glimmer of life, you can immediately return to life, just like the Buddha Nirvana.

   But because of this, his name was included in the book of life and death of the King of Hades.

   As long as the time is up, you will die.

  But Zen Master Vacuum also said that there is no definite number for how long one can live after eating Nirvana Pill.

  According to the records of the Landa Temple, the shortest one is that after eating the Nirvana Pill, you will die within seven days.

  The longest one lived for thirteen years in good health before dying without any illness.

   Everyone's time is different, but there is one thing in common.

   You can get relics after death.

  Even if the cultivation level is not enough, the Zen quality is not enough, after the body is cremated, you can still get the relic.

  This kind of relic is different from ordinary relics, and it does not have the Buddhist aura of eminent monks.

  But it contains at least one kind of Dharma inheritance in life.

   Presumably it is also because of the 'Nirvana Pill'.

   And two hundred years ago, since Abbot Huozhu took the 'Nirvana Pill', logically speaking, he should have passed away long ago.

  However, the obscure Zen master said that the seventh generation abbot is still in retreat.

  Li Chen couldn't help feeling very puzzled, so he asked, "Master, where is the seventh-generation abbot now?"

  Chan Master Mi Jian did not doubt that there was him, but said in a deep voice: "Amitabha."

   "Well, it's a chance to say that it's obscure."

   "During the auspicious Dharma meeting, Daleiyin Temple beat him ruthlessly. Fortunately, the abbot of Landa Temple really rescued him, so he went back to Shasheng Temple and directly announced the closure of the temple and the mountain."

   "But because of this, he suffered extremely serious internal injuries and had to retreat to practice."

   "It's just going out every few years."

   "The last time you left the customs was ten years ago, and you hadn't entered the temple at that time."

   "According to my calculations, the next exit should not be long."

   "Haha, if you let him know that there is a guru in my Shasheng Temple, he will definitely lose his temper even more than the old monk."

  …

  Chan Master Mi Jian told many stories about remembering bitterness and thinking about sweetness.

   But Li Chen's mind is not on it.

  As Master Mi Zhan said, he didn't know that Abbot Hui Zhuo had ever taken the 'Nirvana Pill'.

  But it is certain that Abbot Obscure must still be alive.

   It's just that Zen Master Vacuum said that there is no cure for the toxicity of Nirvana Pill.

  True rebirth, false nirvana.

  But how did the turbid abbot resolve the toxicity?

   Li Chen was full of questions, but no one could answer them.

  By the time he came out of the Sutra Pavilion, it was already three quarters in the afternoon.

  Go directly to the meditation hall of Shasheng Temple.

  The monks just finished their lunch and are resting here in meditation.

   But Li Sao was nowhere to be seen.

  Seeing Li Chen approaching, Zen Master Ye Hui hurried forward to say hello.

   "Amitabha."

   "Master Lisao was called away by Zen Master Lonely."

   "He also said that if you come back, he asked you to go too."

   Seeing that all the monks were going as usual, Li Chen bid farewell and left in a hurry.

  He originally wanted to call Li Sao here, and then go to the empty nest monastery to pay his respects to the master.

   This trip down the mountain has been very fruitful, and I still have to ask the master for his opinions on many things.

  Empty Nest Temple is just like its name, empty and nothing else.

  But compared to before, the small Buddhist monastery is more vibrant.

  Before entering the door, I heard a cry of a child coming from inside.

  The cries were continuous and disturbing for a while.

   Not long after, the reprimand from the Lonely Zen Master came.

  When Li Chen heard the words, he felt happy and hurried into the Zen courtyard.

  I saw the lonely Zen master standing under the eaves.

  A rope hangs down from the corner of the eaves, and at the end of the rope hangs a baby about three or four years old upside down.

  This child is naked, and looks like an ordinary child from a distance.

   But if you look closely, you will find that there is a layer of light fluff growing all over his body.

   And there is a tail more than a foot long behind the buttocks.

  Even though his head was hanging upside down at this moment, there was no fear on his face.

   At this time, Li Chen recognized at a glance that the thin back standing in front of him was his master Lonely Zen Master.

   "You macaque grandson! If you cry again, you will be thrown into the killing forest!"

  Lonely Chan Master’s tone was harsh, but Huaisheng obviously didn’t like it, he just closed his eyes and opened his mouth, crying loudly.

  The more intimidating the old monk opposite was, the louder he cried.

  Even if the lonely Zen master later took out a bald duster from his arms, it would not help.

  While Huai Sheng was complacent, a faint scent of fragrance drifted by.

   The crying stopped abruptly.

   After all, Huai Sheng has half the blood of the demon clan, and he was born with five senses. His nose instantly caught the smell, and he couldn't help twitching slightly.

  唰~

  He suddenly opened his eyes and shouted: "Master!"
