Vol 3 Chapter 3855: Bodhi Patriarch

"Thank you senior for telling me!"
Shen Lang respectfully bowed to the phantom of the nine giant lions.
The nine-headed giant lion phantom said calmly: "You don't have to thank me, everything is predestined. The power of will of this saint has survived for so long, maybe it is to wait for the arrival of you, the chosen one."
"Although I don't know who arranged the "Void Confinement" method outside the three-star cave of the oblique moon, but this method will not last long. Boy, you are running out of time, quickly enter the main hall."
As soon as the voice fell, the nine giant lion phantoms opened their mouths and spit out a golden light, accurately and accurately shot at the gate of the main hall of Fangcun Mountain.
"Buzzing!"
Suddenly, the door of Fangcunshan's main hall was slowly opened, and a soft and dazzling white light gushed out of the door, and the stinging person couldn't open his eyes for a while.
But this light does not contain the slightest sharpness, giving people a sense of tranquility and solemnity.
Shen Lang took a deep breath and strode towards the hall door.
Jade Raksha was not qualified to worship Bodhi Patriarch, so he had to stay outside the temple obediently, waiting for Shen Lang to come out.
Fortunately, there is the power of the will of the Nine Spirit Yuansheng to guard this place, and Jade Luosha is not worried about his safety.
Two rows of gilt fonts are carved on the pillars on both sides of the main hall of Fangcun Mountain's main hall gate, each of which is "Xianyue Sanxingdong" and "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain".
Although Shen Lang had seen these two sentences more than once, he always felt that these two sentences represented a certain meaning.
With piety and awe, Shen Lang walked into the hall.
Entering the eye, the hall is empty, not so much simple, as simple as it is.
The ground walls are spread with blue bricks and gravel, and the surrounding wooden beams and stigmas are also ordinary locust wood. There is no luxurious decoration in the hall, and even the tables and chairs are made of ordinary stone.
This is the simplest hall that Shen Lang has ever seen when he stepped into the realm of real immortals, which shows the indifferent temperament of Patriarch Bodhi.
Although the main hall is simple, the space here is faintly white, as if you are in the clouds, giving people a sense of refreshment, indescribable comfort and peace of mind.
A sapphire stone platform stands directly above the main hall, and a futon is placed in the stone platform. The Bodhi Patriarch in the ordinary seems to be preaching here.
Except for the stone platform, only a calligraphy and painting on the wall are quite conspicuous.
The material of this calligraphy and painting is extremely ordinary rice paper. Because of the age, the picture is blurred and unclear, and the writing on it can barely be seen.
There are two rows of characters written in the painting, each is:
"Cause and effect cycle, six reincarnations. Heaven and earth, I am the only one."
"Tao law is natural, remove the false and save the truth. Either right is evil, or good is evil."
Shen Lang read aloud in silence, and felt endless aftertaste. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's really wonderful!"
The ability to write these two rows of characters is enough to prove that Bodhi Patriarch is proficient in both Buddhism and Taoism. It is no wonder that the Nine Spirits Yuansheng outside the temple said he is omnipotent.
At this moment, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared on the futon on the sapphire stone platform, and gradually condensed a human figure.
The phantom was dressed in a green robe, and seemed to be an old man, but he couldn't see his face clearly, and a brilliant white halo lit up behind him, like a divine light coming to the world, making people unable to look straight!
Shen Lang's heart was shocked, and the breath of the green-robed old man's phantom in front of him was unusually vast and misty, as if it merged with the heaven and the earth, and made people involuntarily awe.
"Little friend, we meet again."
The old man in Qingpao smiled and said, his kind voice gave people a feeling of spring breeze.
Shen Lang's eyes widened, and he immediately bowed: "Shen Lang, the junior, I have seen the Immortal Ancestor of Bodhi!"
The green robe phantom was not the ancestor of Bodhi. Although it could not be the ancestor of Bodhi himself, it is most likely a ray of remnant soul left by the other party or power of will.
"Little friend, poor Dao may not be your predecessor, you don't need to salute."
Patriarch Bodhi smiled and shook his head, and said a meaningful word.
Shen Lang was puzzled. Just about to ask a question, Patriarch Bodhi suddenly said: "Shen Cai sees that the little friend seems to have an understanding of the words in this painting. Why don't you talk about your own opinions?"
"This... the juniors have a low level of cultivation, so there is really no opinion."
Shen Lang said awkwardly.
Patriarch Bodhi smiled lightly and said: "Neither, nor. It's a great fun for you and me to participate in Zen preaching, but it doesn't matter."
"Okay, that junior will show his ugliness."
Seeing that the words of Patriarch Bodhi were said to this point, Shen Lang could only express what he thought. "The "Causal Cycle, Six Paths of Reincarnation" in the first row should represent Buddhism. Buddhism pays attention to causal reincarnation. The good deeds of this life are exchanged for the blessings of the next life. The body is only a temporary skin, and it can even be rootless. no
The heart is invisible and invisible. For them, the practice is just to get out of the sea of ​​suffering in this world and exchange for the consummation of the merits of the world. "
"And "the heavens and the earth, only I dominate", perhaps those great Buddhas who have perfected merits have surpassed the reincarnation of cause and effect and can control everything in the world, and their fate is made by me." 　　 "The second row of characters represents the concept of Taoism, "Daoism is natural." It means that all creatures in the world follow the law of heaven, and "removing the false and keeping the truth" means that the ascetics abandon the things that are not good for them, leave behind the things that are good for them, and show the truth.
The real self. "　　" "Everything in the world has yin and yang, good and evil, and "whether it is right or evil, or good or evil" represents the opposition between good and evil in the self. Everything bears yin and embraces yang. Yin and yang can never be unified. After the ascetic becomes the true self, he may go to some
Kind of extreme. "
When Shen Lang said these words, his face also showed a thoughtful look.
He suddenly thought of Deng Yin, the son of the blood god, who was the only one who had not been included in the list of conferred gods, but had cultivated the body of the Taoist ancestor, and he was also a "extremely evil" model.
Does he want to cultivate Zhengguo, really go to extremes?
Patriarch Bodhi laughed and said: "Interesting and interesting. There are thousands of apprentices from the poor Dao, and there are only two people who can tell the meaning of the words in this painting without thinking. You are the third person!"
"The juniors are nothing more than making an axe at the door of the class. The ancestor is too acclaimed."
Shen Lang said modestly, although he was curious in his heart, it was hard for him to ask who the first two were.
"Little friend, you are the chosen son of heaven. Let's see if the poor way is good or evil?" Bodhi Patriarch asked with a smile.
"This……"
Shen Lang hesitated for a while. Originally, he didn't even think about this question, but Shen Lang himself didn't know why, so he didn't say it straightforwardly.
The Patriarch Bodhi seems to be a benevolent naturally, but many of the disciples he has collected have killed countless people. Patriarch Bodhi should be responsible, at least he is not a "good teacher."
But Shen Lang vaguely felt that Bodhi's ancestor might have another purpose in accepting disciples. "The younger generation cannot judge the good and evil of the immortal ancestors. Good and evil are not a fixed standard. Ten thousand people may have 10,000 definitions. The younger generations did not feel the malicious ancestors against me. Therefore, in the eyes of the younger generations, the immortal ancestor is Good ones." Shen Lang said frankly.
