Mind Cultivation Record

Chapter 457: The Emptiness of Dependent Origination

Besides, when Xiao Mian returned to the monastery at this time, he saw Gui Hai and Tuo Ba Lan guarding the entrance of the courtyard, obviously waiting for his return.

"What? What happened?"

"Sister Zhu Yan, let's go!"

"...were you taken away by Senior Ghost Saint?"

"Um!"

Xiao Mian felt relieved after hearing that this was the case.

Although the Ghost Saint came in exchange for three flawless pieces, it would not be a bad idea if he came to take Zhu Yanji back to the Netherworld.

In addition, Xiao Mian had long expected that everyone was about to leave, so Xiao Mian was not surprised that Zhu Yanji took the first step.

After inviting Gui Hai and Tuoba Lan into his monastery, Xiao Mian took out the spirit wine.

"Now that the little holy monk is observing the precepts safely, the overall situation of Western Shu Prefecture has been decided. I wonder where Brother Guihai and Brother Tuoba plan to go?"

"Brother Yu wants to go all the way to the east, to the East China Sea!" Gui Hai said after taking a sip of spiritual wine. After taking the wine bottle and seeing Xiao Mian and Gui Hai looking at him, Tuoba Lan smiled casually: "I am Cang Lan from Xishu, and I follow the waves in the world!"

"Qingyun, what about you?"

"Me? I want to travel around Zhongzhou and test the sword in the world!"

Although Xiao Mian was calm when he said this, his aura at that moment made even the domineering Gui Hai secretly frightened.

"In this case, we three brothers can be together for a while longer..."

He grabbed the wine bottle from Tuoba Lan's hand and Guihai took several sips of it. Guihai was usually very heroic, but today his posture was a bit gloomy.

Xiao Mian and Tuoba Lan looked at each other and sighed silently.

On weekdays, Guihai and Zhu Yanji got along best. The two quarreled all the way, and their relationship deepened. Now that Zhu Yanji was taken back to the Netherworld by the Ghost Saint, Guihai couldn't help but feel a little sad.

With a roll of his eyes, Xiao Mian simply took out two more wine bottles, gave one to Tuoba Lan, drank a sip of spiritual wine, and sang loudly: "Young man's worries should be taken care of. Who cares about You Han and sits there?"

Considering that Xiao Mian is now thirty years old, he is already in his thirties in the secular world. Calling him a teenager is a bit unorthodox. However, in the world of spiritual practice where people are often hundreds of years old, the thirty-year-old Xiao Mian is really just a teenager. , but it’s just getting started.

Hearing Xiao Mian's singing, Gui Hai was shocked. Seeing that Xiao Mian and Tuoba Lan were just drinking with him, but said nothing, Gui Hai felt relieved.

At that moment, the three of them drank and talked happily.

I don’t know how long it took, but a figure quietly appeared in Xiao Mian’s monastery.

"Haha..., these three little guys are so excited!" As he spoke, Wei Ying walked around and saw Xiao Mian and the others standing up to salute hurriedly. Wei Ying scolded with a serious face: "A quiet place in Buddhism, How can I allow you to drink and have fun like this?”

Wei Ying is the protector of the holy monk Ananda.

Even when the young monk saw Wei Ying, he would respectfully call out "Uncle Wei"!

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Wei Ying was able to compete with the ghost saint before shows the great power of this Buddhist holy monk and protector. Although it is unknown, in terms of personal combat power, Wei Ying's strength may not be Worse than Wan Zongsheng and others.

Faced with this kind of question from a peak powerhouse, as well as the faint coercion released inadvertently in his words, even Gui Hai and Tuoba Lan, who have always been bold, felt that they didn't know how to respond, but Xiao Mian rolled his eyes and said, Keep it in mind.

"After the wine and meat passed through the intestines, the Buddha stayed in his heart. He slept in the red tent and saw it in his dream!" Seeing Wei Ying's slightly stunned look, Xiao Mian said seriously: "This is the great path that the young saint monk Kasyapa personally taught to the younger generations. Reason, what? Is it wrong?"

"You boy, you are really naughty!"

Wei Ying frowned slightly, showing an unhappy look.

Buddhist monks have always valued great wisdom and foolishness, and great skill but clumsiness. Someone as eloquent as Xiao Mian can only be regarded as a small cleverness, but it is by no means a great wisdom.

Xiao Mian naturally saw Wei Ying's displeasure, but after thinking about it, he had no intention of pleasing this Buddhist protector, and he had no intention of staying in the nameless hill for a long time. Maybe I will say goodbye to the little monk early tomorrow morning and leave the unknown hill!

Not wanting Xiao Mian to think like this, Wei Ying spoke again.

"In gratitude to the three little friends for supporting the little holy monk all the way back east, the holy monk Ananda decided to open the Cave of Ten Thousand Buddhas and let the three little friends enter to find their own opportunities!"

"Ten Thousand Buddhas Cave?"

For a moment, Xiao Mian and the other three looked at each other in confusion.

After Wei Ying's explanation, the three of them realized that the so-called Ten Thousand Buddhas Spiritual Cave was a secret realm similar to the Little Sumeru Realm, except that it was a secret realm specifically for Buddhist practice. There were inscriptions engraved inside. There are ten thousand Buddha statues, filled with the radiance of Buddha nature.

Although Xiao Mian didn't know why the young monk allowed three outsiders who were not Buddhist cultivators to enter the Ten Thousand Buddhas Cave, he couldn't help but Xiao Mian after hearing that the Buddhist magical powers could be understood in the Cave of Ten Thousand Buddhas, and there were many high-level body refining techniques. I can't help but feel moved.

Now Xiao Mian has only comprehended three Buddhist magical powers, one is the Golden Bell Cover, which is mainly for defense; the other is the Divine Mind Sword, which can be used for sneak attacks; and the other is the Heart Sutra Futon, which is for assistance.

The Heart Sutra Futon is just a magical power to assist in training, which can make Xiao Mian's already astonishing training speed even higher, and at the same time, there is no need to worry about going crazy; although the Divine Mind Sword is difficult to defend against, it is not a powerful offensive secret technique after all; Only the golden bell has saved Xiao Mian from fire and water several times. It can be said to be a life-saving magical power with the highest defense.

If I could once again comprehend the seven or eight Buddhist magical powers in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Spiritual Cave...

When he thought of this, Xiao Mian couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

He also didn't want to think about it: How could it be so easy to understand the magical powers of Buddhism?

Let alone an outsider, even a true Buddhist cultivator would not be able to comprehend seven or eight magical powers at once after entering the Cave of Ten Thousand Buddhas. Understanding three magical powers is already the limit.

Tuoba Lan was originally not very interested in the trip to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Cave. Now, he is completely focused on the cultivation and understanding of "Wind Wolf Seven Kills". He does not want to bite off more than he can chew, but in Xiao Mian With some encouragement, he agreed.

As for Guihai, he is very carefree and does everything he can to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Cave.

In this way, the three of them decided to visit the Ten Thousand Buddhas Cave.

The next morning, we were at the main entrance of the small temple.

Seeing Benchu, Chanyin, Huijing and other ten monks, Xiao Mian couldn't help but be startled: Obviously, Xiao Mian was not the only one in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Cave group this time.

But when I think about it, this is right!

The Ten Thousand Buddhas Spiritual Cave was originally a secret realm dedicated to Buddhist practice. It was not surprising for Ben Chu and others to enter it, but it was somewhat unreasonable for Xiao Mian and the others to enter it.

Sure enough, when Benchu ​​and other nine monks saw Xiao Mian and the others, they were all a little surprised. At best, they were slightly stunned, and at worst, they glared at each other.

For example, Fa Wu from Longhua Temple stared at Xiao Mian with an unkind expression.

However, Xiao Mian was not even afraid of the Dharma seal. How could he ever be afraid of this Dharma enlightenment?

Besides, during the ranking match, Xiao Mian witnessed with his own eyes the ugly appearance of Fa Wu being frightened out of the fighting arena by Miao Shan with the phantom of a six-tusked white elephant. Those who have had their minds taken away by others have cultivated to the level of Yuan. Ancestor Ying, so what? Xiao Mian is not afraid!

Under the personal auspices of Holy Monk Ananda, a three-foot-square black hole suddenly appeared in the open space at the main entrance of the small temple. The black hole was connected by steps. Looking at it, it was a black hole. There were only two or three steps. The steps are exposed to the sky.

Originally, he was the first person among the young generation in the top ten famous temples.

The first one to bear the brunt was Ben Chu who entered the black hole first.

Immediately afterwards, there are Zen Yin, Huijing...

According to the order of victory in the ranking battle, the nine monks and one nun filed in.

After that, it was Xiao Mian's turn. The three of them looked at each other. Gui Hai, who had the highest cultivation level, was the first to enter, followed by Tuoba Lan, and Xiao Mian was the last one.

As soon as he stepped onto the stairs, Xiao Mian felt a gust of sinister wind blowing towards his face. At that moment, Xiao Mian felt unbelievable: There was actually a sinister wind in the dignified secret realm of Buddhism?

Shouldn’t the secret realm of Buddhism be upright and upright?

Just as he was thinking wildly, Xiao Mian's figure had completely disappeared into the black hole. Then the black hole closed on its own, and there was no longer any trace of it being opened.

Only then did Xiao Mian realize that the staircase was not a staircase at all, but was actually a well-designed short-distance small teleportation array.

After the halo, Xiao Mian appeared on a mountain top.

Looking around, Xiao Mian's expression changed slightly.

This mountain top is not dangerous. Instead, it looks peaceful and peaceful. As soon as Xiao Mian looked at it, he quickly discovered that this mountain top was extremely familiar. Looking far away, Xiao Mian's face became more solemn. This mountain The top is clearly the small green mountain in his hometown!

Xiaoqingshan—the place where everything originated!

It was in this small green mountain that Xiao Mian met Master Yuanxu.

Occasionally when dreaming back at midnight, Xiao Mian once imagined: If everything could be repeated, would he still insist on following Master Yuanxu...

I don’t want to think about today, but the green hills remain the same.

But at this moment, Xiao Mian frowned and his ears twitched slightly.

The next moment, Xiao Mian soared into the sky. When he looked down, he saw an old cow walking up the mountain road. On top of the cow was a young boy holding an ancient book, reading it with gusto.

Without looking at it, Xiao Mian knew that the ancient book was called "Qi Wu Zhi"!

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled bitterly.

After twenty years, Xiao Mian returned to that unforgettable day.

With his hands behind his back, Xiao Mian stood in the clouds and watched everything happening on Xiaoqingshan.

After a moment, a golden light fell from the sky.

In a moment, the golden light swallowed up the old cow.

After a while, the cowherd boy was so frightened that he ran away.

After a moment, Master Yuanxu arrived late...

Along the way, Xiao Mian stood in the clouds, followed closely by Master Yuanxu, and came to his small courtyard in his memory, where he saw the giant python with its bloody mouth open.

At this time, Master Yuanxu was fighting with the golden giant python.

If Xiao Mian is willing, he can kill Master Yuanxu on the spot with just one finger. As for the golden giant python, it is also just a single finger.

But from beginning to end, Xiao Mian did not act rashly.

It wasn't until Master Yuanxu left with the cowboy's sword that Xiao Mian suddenly fell from the sky and fell into the small courtyard, looking at his parents who were close at hand. The couple in the small courtyard just stared at the distant Master Yuanxu, and did not see the sudden appearance of Xiao Mian at all.

really……

Everything is nothing but illusion!

Obviously this is a test for the monks who enter the Ten Thousand Buddhas Spiritual Cave. If Xiao Mian had just taken action to kill Master Yuanxu or the golden python, he would have broken the established fact. Not only would he have obsessions, It will even be transformed into a trace of evil thoughts.

In this case, Xiao Mian will no longer have the qualification to continue to stay in the Cave of Ten Thousand Buddhas for training. I am afraid that he will be teleported out of the Cave of Ten Thousand Buddhas immediately. , is a big loss!

It's just that Xiao Mian was not in a very good mood at this time.

If it were any other person, seeing the most painful scene that had been suppressed in their hearts reappear before their eyes, I am afraid no one would be able to be happy, let alone suppressing the urge to change the status quo in their hearts, turning themselves into A bystander?

With a soft sigh, Xiao Mian waved his hand, and the couple disappeared, the small courtyard disappeared, the small green mountain disappeared, and this world disappeared...

All conditioned phenomena are like bubbles in a dream; like dew or lightning, they should be viewed as such.
