But it was said that Old Yellow Ox had brought many prepared spiritual objects, stepped on the auspicious clouds, and went straight to the Lei Mansion to find Three-Five Fire Spirit Great General over there, and borrowed his Huo Dou to use the most yang and strong power of thunder and fire to refine many of the once great demonic objects into the purest and harmless auras.
Speaking of which, Old Yellow Ox himself was once a great demon, but he refused to be disciplined. He was a demon in the lower world, and fought several times with many divine generals of the Thunder Department. He only did not provoke the thirty-six divine generals of the Thunder Department, so he was left with all the beards, tails, 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 thunder generals are the strongest among them. The number of thirty-six is constant, but 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 he responsible for using thunder to drive away evil spirits.
He is only responsible for the Heavenly Punishment and Heavenly Tribulation, the so-called Heaven Strikes with Five Thunders.
Old Yellow Ox Although I have never met these thirty-six thunder generals, many of the thunder generals below are old acquaintances.
There were a lot of fights back then.
Later, he got a chance and joined the fighting department. Old Niu was extremely wealthy. He spent all his family wealth and held a banquet for thirty days. There were many delicacies and jade plates, spiritual fruits and wine, as well as running water banquets. He even spent a lot of money on Taiyin True Lord Guanghan Palace and invited thirty beauties to dance and play music.
Those who practice the thunder method are all upright and upright in temperament. They can easily form enemies and break up enemies easily.
I even know that this Old Yellow Ox kicked down Medicine Master Lapis Lazuli Light Tathagata's Buddhist temples and pagodas and ran all the way here.
Each one is even more astonishing.
Just say something awesome.
I also learned that this Old Yellow Ox also kicked that old monk to stagger and ate up all the lotus flowers in the lotus pond.
Even more respectful.
Coupled with the fine wines, delicious food and beautiful people, this Old Yellow Ox was willing to spend money, and he talked and laughed so freely that in a short time he became familiar with her. We hooked up with each other, saying "old brother" to you and "brother" to me. We happily drank wine for a month, and the world was also happy. It was a hot summer, and the sky had been overcast for a month. The heat suddenly disappeared.
There's only one bad thing.
There was only thunder but no rain in the sky for the whole month.
The thunder was noisy, almost like someone stroking their beard and laughing.
Finally, the True Lords from the Lei Department found out about this and came out furious.
He urged these drunken and swaying Leibu Orthodox Gods to hurry up and make it rain, so everyone stumbled while still on the banquet, knocking over a jar of fine wine, and the rain poured down, making the world drunk.
"Oh, what a pity the wine is!"
"Ha, it's really raining!"
That day, heavy rain broke the heat.
Old Yellow Ox and the thunder generals laughed out loud when talking about past events.
But the god general said with a smile, "It's you, why do you like to write backwards? Instructing people to go to the rain should be the first thing to do, but writing it backwards makes people remember it wrong, delays things, and makes the Yu Xingyun officials, the mighty swords and mighty spirit officials, and the fire bell messengers all angry. They went to Lei Mansion, and [Lei Boqing Emperor Leijun] came in person, and we had a good meal."
Old Yellow Ox 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, not good!"
"Writing went smoothly!"
"The letter to Little Wu Huo is also written backwards. What should I do about this?"
I originally planned to get up, but I saw that the thunder fire was turning on, and Spirit Material was being tempered. I had to watch over it, and I couldn't move away. After thinking about it, I finally had to sit back to my original position, sighed, and said, "I can't move away, that's all. This foundation is the most important thing."
"I have to go and talk to Wuhuo tomorrow..."
Qi WuHuo ended [Art of Clairvoyance and Manifestation] and went to the Xuan Altar. Old Yellow Ox's cultivation level was really much higher than him. He sent all the qi machines that could be sent to him immediately in one breath. These qi machines belonging to the major mythical beasts and demons were stuffed into each jade bottle and sealed very tightly.
These jade bottles are also quite extraordinary.
The materials are all transparent, and all the aura Spiritual Qi has been extracted cleanly.
Therefore, it can be used directly 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 young Daoist from not knowing who the breath in each bottle belongs to. However, young Daoist actually became a monk on the way to Daoism, and did not grow up in heaven. Each of these names is just a name on a piece of white paper after all.
Young Daoist Just arrange them.
Arranged as order of use.
"Huh? Uncle Niu has been arranged?"
"He once said that you have to gradually adapt from weak to strong..."
Qi WuHuo looked at the list given by Old Yellow Ox, but he didn't know Old Yellow Ox's habits. He picked up the first bottle and saw that there was a Qi inside with a green color, just like the vast sky. He immediately looked at the words written on it, and its name was--
[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 practice."
Qi WuHuo picked up the bottle and looked at Peacock Egg on the cushion next to it.
He gently touched 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. After that, 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 Daoist temple.
There are also evergreen trees here, and the cold wind in winter blows down many of them every night, making a rustling sound.
Then young Daoist Mingxin ran in quickly. "Uncle-Master Qi, Uncle-Master Qi, I bought what you wanted!"
Young Daoist 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 wild vegetable with a refreshing taste, also known as Kochia scoparia, it can be used to stop diarrhea and cure malignant sores. Qi WuHuo likes the taste of it after it is boiled. It is also very useful for sweeping the floor. At this time, young Daoist has put a large cloth bag on the ground.
Although Mingxin is not old, she is still recuperating.
He was light and strong, actually no worse than an adult man. When he walked with such a big bag, he only panted slightly. He wiped his sweat, took a ladle and scooped a spoonful of water into the water tank and drank it. He felt much more cheerful, and his fatigue disappeared. He looked at young Daoist and opened the bag. Inside was the pungent realgar. He couldn't help but curiously said:
"But, Uncle-Master Qi, why do you want to buy this realgar?"
"If you want to get rid of poisonous insects, just a small piece will be enough."
Young Daoist said gently, "A small piece is not enough."
Looking up at the city, he could already guess that it was because the water god did not rain enough that the plague was not suppressed, causing diseases to run rampant in the city. After thinking about it, he could only use realgar, a medicine that can remove evil spirits, to dissolve it into the water and sprinkle it in the city. It can suppress it a little, in the hope that the rain will stun the insects and the thunder will ward off evil spirits.
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 <Cloud Rain Chess Game Chapter> obtained from Old Mr. Ao Liu circulates 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 Mingxin young Daoist next to him light up. He pulled Qi WuHuo's sleeves and said, "Uncle-Master Qi, Uncle-Master Qi, what kind of trick is this? So interesting!"
"Can you teach me something?!"
The Daoist scripture in Master old Daoist's hand hit Mingxin's head directly, causing young Daoist to groan and look at Teacher with a face full of complaints.
Master old Daoist glared at him and said, "You don't have enough Primordial Spirit, your energy is mixed, and you haven't laid a solid foundation yet, so you want to do such a thing? Isn't it so ambitious?!"
Young Daoist Mingxin feels melancholy and regretful.
Young Daoist smiled gently and did not answer. After all, this is Old Mr. Ao Liu's method and should not be passed on without permission.
The Daoist temple is at a slightly higher place Central Prefecture City. Standing on the high point of the Daoist temple, he can see most of the city in the distance. But at this moment, he feels somewhat regretful. It is a pity that his cultivation is not enough. If If you have the realm of Primordial Prenatal Qi, you can turn this realgar water into the shape of a water dragon or 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.
But 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.
Young Daoist Mingxin heard that he didn't need to do his homework, so he quickly volunteered. He also had a Qi machine and had enough strength.
This bucket is quite big and can fit one person in it. Mr. old Daoist said that when he was a child, young Daoist was held in this big bucket and soaked while taking a bath. Young Daoist mentioned it clearly Holding the bucket, Qi WuHuo controlled the water flow by controlling the vitality, so that it would not waste too much when it was spilled. When the bucket of water was exhausted, he had reached the end of the street and saw that the soup kitchen stall from yesterday was still there.
Great monk also built a shed to receive patients.
Qi WuHuo was slightly surprised, but saw that monk was an acquaintance. It was the monk who had chased fortune teller and ran to Pingkang Ward's brothel in one breath. The great monk also recognized Qi WuHuo. He smiled and nodded and signaled the boy to wait. Then he helped a patient to diagnose and treat, took out the medicine and handed it over. He gently told the taboos about taking the medicine, and then stood up.
Putting his hands together, he said in a gentle voice, "The poor monk has met the little Daoist priest, and we have met again."
Qi WuHuo returned the gift in a Daoist way and said, "Master, this is..."
Great monk replied, "Because the epidemic has been rampant in recent days, the poor monk had no choice but to let that guy go and come here for a consultation first."
He is a monk who looks very gentle. Hearing the coughing sounds around him, he clasped his hands and 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."
Young Daoist took the soybean, handed it to Xiao Mingxin, and said, "All living beings suffer?"
Great monk nodded and said, "Yes... Have the little Daoist 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."
Great monk said while cooking crude tea, "The most basic concept of Buddhism is called Four Noble Truths."
"It is the deceased Suffering, Origin, Cessation, Path. Among the most basic concepts of Four Noble Truths, the most basic point is [Truth of Suffering]. Everything named the Human World is bitter. Although there is prosperity and beauty, the beauty is always short-lived. The youthful years are strong, but they will grow old in a blink of an eye. Spring is beautiful, but immediately it is hot, flowers bloom brilliantly, and even if they fall, that's all..."
Young Daoist was thoughtful and said to himself, "Truth of Suffering?"
He followed 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 desire to stay young forever."
"The so-called [Truth of Suffering], saying the Human World all living beings are suffering, is it just because you are too attached to these living beings?"
Young Daoist 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."
"But I am also obsessed with my greatest desire, I hope that all living beings will always be healthy and young, and I hope that flowers will bloom undefeated."
"His desire is so obsessed with it."
The monk was slightly startled, as if he had encountered something incredible, and subconsciously looked at the young Daoist in front of him.
After a long time, he said, "My little friend is indeed very talented."
"My Buddhist Four Noble Truths, the second one is exactly [Truth of Origin], what I said is exactly the same as what my little friend said, that all suffering comes from desire."
"Besides this, there are two truths: cessation and Tao."
"[Truth of Cessation] means that only by eradicating all causes of Mortal world's pain can we enter the ideal state."
Young Daoist thought thoughtfully and said naturally, "It's a little extreme... destroy 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."
So monk was silent for a long time and sighed:
"Daoist priest... very understanding."
"The last truth is called [Truth of the Path], which means we must enter the highest state and realm."
"It requires long-term practice."
Young Daoist took the tea handed to him by monk, thought for a long time, and said:
"So it turns out that [suffering] [collection] [destruction] [path] are not parallel, but the path of one person."
"When I see this Four Noble 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. He wandered and melancholy, and chose to cut off his own desires. So far, he still loves the common people, but he 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 [Heart Refining]. It is his method and his way."
"It's also his sorrow and persistence."
"That's it."
Great monk was silent, holding up 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:
"True Person, good heart!"
"It is said that Buddha once briefly appeared under 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 Four Noble Truths Inside, it is said that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has a mount, which is called [True Ting], which means [Listen to Four Noble Truths]. It 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 noon yet, but suddenly a large area of rays of light appeared in the west. But although it was rays of light, it was a large area of red, as red as blood. Like this, the Buddhist temple Buddhist bell among Central Province Prefecture City moved without any wind, and after knocking eighteen times, the great monk was stunned for a long time, and its palms trembled, and suddenly -
The string of beads in his hand fell apart, and Buddhist beads fell to the ground.
Under this blood-like glow, the Buddha characters are full of bright red.
Great monk was silent for a long time and murmured:
"There is a Buddha."
"Nirvana...?"
