Even though he was reciting sutras and worshiping gods every day, reading texts to get a glimpse of the wonderful world of heaven and man, when he saw the dragon, the waiter was stunned. When the giant green dragon came, it stirred up the sky, but after landing, it took the form of a human, dressed in green clothes, with an old look on its face. As soon as the human form is transformed, the celestial phenomena disappear and the wind becomes warm and sunny again. When the waiter didn't know what to do, the person had already arrived. "What do you call me, old gentleman?" The waiter was a cultivator after all. He quickly calmed down and asked. The old man returned the courtesy and said, "You don't need to be so polite. Although I haven't been in this world for a long time, I still know the etiquette. You can call me Sihai." The waiter said cautiously: "Sihai layman, I don't know why you are here? "Sihai Laolong said: "I came here to seek knowledge and solve my doubts." The waiter was suspicious, but he didn't dare to ask more questions and immediately led Sihai Laolong through the door. In the main hall of the Taoist temple, Taoist Shanshui also stopped talking, his eyebrows lowered, as if he was wandering in the sky. The disciples and boys nearby couldn't help but stare curiously outside, secretly guessing who the visitor was. The waiter came forward first and said respectfully to the Shanshui Taoist: "Master, a stranger from all over the world is visiting." At this time, he called the master of the temple, but he meant it sincerely. Taoist Shanshui opened his eyes, nodded slightly, and the waiter withdrew. "Where are you from? Why are you here?" asked the Taoist Master of Shanshui. The old dragon from all over the world bowed respectfully and said: "The little dragon came from the dragon sky to offer a treasure to the real person." After saying that, he took something out of his arms, held it in the palm of his hand, and came forward to offer the treasure. The disciples in the hall were astonished and saw what was in this man's hand at first glance. It's a green ring, and it looks like something extraordinary at first glance. The Shanshui Taoist asked: "What is this?" Sihai Laolong said: "It is a good object, and it does have an origin. This ring is - the golden and jade light in the Five Elements Mountain fell into the cold pool and was covered with green clothes. If you get it, you will get it. Hiding the golden rule, the fruit of the immortal power is the magic power of the gods. If you can come and go without any restrictions, you can use it to become a Buddha and an immortal. . That ring doesn¡¯t look like a mortal thing. The world has only seen emerald agate and luminous stone that shines at night. But have you ever seen a stone ring that can compete with the sun in broad daylight? ??Although this old dragon from all over the world is an old minister in the human world, his movements and movements are all majestic. Although what he said was nonsense, everyone present believed it. This kind of treasure seems to have great power. He actually wants to offer it up? The old dragon from all over the world ignored the scorching gazes of everyone, and just respectfully held it in his hands and raised it above his head, as if he wanted to offer it to the real person. Master Shanshui took one look at it and said: "It is indeed a treasure. If you really have the merits and achievements you say, why should you give it away? What else do you want?" Sihai Laolong's eyes flickered. He said something vaguely, without saying anything about the cause, only what he wanted. He said: "I don't ask for wealth and splendor, I don't ask for immortality*, I just ask for all the hidden secrets after death." Everyone was stunned when they heard this. Isn't this question exactly what Shanshui Master is waiting to explain? Just asking this matter, do you want to offer this true treasure? It seems really not worth it. Master Shanshui squinted his eyes and did not look at him. The old dragons from all over the world are respectful. Holding the ring as an offering, there is not much to say. The others don¡¯t know what to do either. No one dared to interrupt for a while, in this small Taoist temple. It seemed so quiet and solemn. I don¡¯t know how long it took, but several children winked and could hardly sit still. Master Shanshui sighed softly and said: "I have the intention" Before he finished speaking, the old dragon from all over the world was overjoyed. As if he was afraid that the master would regret it, he took three steps at a time and two steps at a time. He held the precept and hurriedly walked forward to offer it . Master Shanshui was sitting cross-legged on the futon. He just raised his right hand, but suddenly it stopped moving. Not only him, but even the old dragon from all over the world has stopped moving. He is still sitting and walking forward, just like a painting, still. Everyone in the hall looked at it in shock and confusion. The waiter had already known about the old dragon's true identity, and seemed to understand it, but he probably guessed it to some extent. Probably because Linghui came to his mind, the waiter said: "The master of the temple has wandered away. We will stay here for today and let everyone disperse." As soon as the waiter finished speaking, several Taoist boys left happily as if they had been granted amnesty. Some of the disciples of the old temple master thought it was strange, some thought it was a pity, but none of them took it to heart. Only the eldest disciple, who had always been at odds with Master Shanshui before, looked confused and disappointed. When everyone else had gone, the waiter stepped forward and said, "Why don't you leave?" "Brother Dao, I don't know why, but I suddenly feel empty and uncomfortable." The eldest disciple said honestly. The waiter was slightly startled, and seemed to feel the same way for a moment. Why is this so? It¡¯s just that I lost my destiny. But why are Master Shanshui and Old Dragon of the Four Seas so immovable? It is naturally invisible to the naked eye. At this moment, Jizu Temple is outside Jizu Mountain, somewhere invisible. Shanshui Zhenren appeared in a three-foot-long body. It was different from the evil appearance in the Taoist temple before. It was free from vulgarity and more solemn. On the other hand, what about the old dragon from all over the world? But it is not like the celestial phenomena that were summoned before, with the wind and rain accompanying it. The body of the dragon is not a hundred feet long, but it seems to be only an inch long, trapped in the air, like a small green snake. Master Shanshui raised his hands and said to the four directions: "I wonder which immortal passed by and joked with the Taoist?" When the immortal passed by, there was a fragrance along with it. ¡°In our daily lives, if someone smells a fragrance inexplicably, but it doesn¡¯t smell like perfume or flowers, then maybe it¡¯s a fairy passing by you. At this moment, Master Shanshui smelled the billowing fragrance. It was not only his mouth and nose that could smell it, but all he saw in his eyes were billowing clouds of incense. "I'm not joking, but I'm helping you. You're too brave." A man walked out of the fragrant cloud, dressed in Confucian clothes, with a middle-aged appearance, and a calm look in his eyes, as if there was nothing worthy of his attention. "Brother Taoist, what do you mean?" Shanshui Taoist asked, not knowing why. He couldn¡¯t see through the person in front of him, he was really confused. The middle-aged man said: "Those who have preached the Tao since ancient times have never talked lightly about the secrets of life and death. Even if the true immortals, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas came to this world, they would still be human beings and give teachings through their own actions. How can you be like you? Just talk about it here?" Master Shanshui was even more puzzled and said: "I don't quite understand what brother Taoist said. I didn't tell others about it, I only talked about people who are destined to be together. I came home here because my destiny is here. When the destiny is here, how can I not explain it? ?¡± ¡°You haven¡¯t told others?¡± The middle-aged man said with a half-smile. The Shanshui Taoist said: "Of course." The middle-aged man said: "What you said here. The three thousand worlds resonate, and all the heavens and Dharma realms hear it. Don't talk about hidden things. In your view, the ruthless grass, trees and tiles are sentimental. There are billions of insects, and the animals in the mountains can all hear it clearly." Master Shanshui was startled, he really didn't think of this. The middle-aged man said: "You are also a Taoist, and you have listened to the Master's teachings. There is always something to say about the Dharma Protector. What is your Dharma Protector? Just to be a thug? To protect your family and life? Or to maintain the order of the Dharma Assembly?" Shanshui Zhenren After thinking deeply, he understood something for a while and said: "Protect the true Dharma without losing it." It¡¯s not just the people who listen to it, but the people who hear it.¡± The middle-aged man said calmly: ¡°What¡¯s more, the secret of life and death is not meant for ordinary people. What the sages say about life and death is just a matter of time. It only allows people to renounce the mind. How could you say it with your mouth? If this old dragon hadn't come to this world by chance, I would have waited for you. If you talk about it, how much trouble will it cause?" Shanshui Taoist was speechless. The old dragon from all over the world was trapped by the middle-aged man, but lost his previous majesty, and howled loudly: "I wholeheartedly seek the truth, and the destiny is right in front of me. This is my opportunity, how can you stop me? Ruin my opportunity!" "The middle-aged man glanced at him. He said calmly: "I am saving you, don't be ungrateful." Sihai Laolong roared: "Save me! A person who has attained the Tao. Saving people in the next world is also a meritorious deed. You are also above heaven and humans." Why don't you do this meritorious deed?" The middle-aged man said: "If I save someone, I will destroy his foundation. Do you think I should save you?" The old dragon from the Four Seas said, "I heard that there is a Bodhisattva in the distant world who wants to save him. How far-reaching is it to exterminate those in hell! You are also a transcendent person, why don¡¯t you learn the compassion of Bodhisattva?¡± The middle-aged man laughed and said, ¡°That¡¯s because Bodhisattva has such power and great merits. , With such great ambitions, what does this Taoist have? He is just a bit of a Taoist. It doesn't matter if he saves one or two disciples, but if he really wants to say something about Purdue, don't blame me for saying it badly. , He really can't do it." Master Shanshui narrowed his eyes. Lao Long was unconvinced and said: "How come you can't do it? You just use lip service to say something, but why can't you do it?" The middle-aged man said calmly: "You use lip service? You should be a human teacher who teaches knowledge and resolves doubts. Is that all I need to teach you about Shu Jing and literacy?Tell me, when you save someone, you will have to share a portion of the bad karma that person has done in their lifetimes. You are just a mortal, and suddenly you say that you want to save a wicked butcher. This is not called wish, it is called arrogance, and it is called ignorance of the heaven and earth. Are you going to hell with him? " The middle-aged man spoke without mercy and said: "Having said that, this Taoist has some Taoism in his body. He can save some ordinary people and some cultivators. It's okay based on fate. His Taoism can handle this. But if you are tempted to talk about the secret of Xuanzang, the heavens will be shaken, and countless living beings will hear it. How much karma will he share? If he cannot save all these living beings from transcending, he will never achieve enlightenment. Don't talk about whether there is an end day. I'm afraid that before he does it, he will be dragged away by the tired karma and will be robbed immediately. "The middle-aged man sneered and said: "This is my intention to stop you two, and also to let you know why throughout the ages, there has been a saying among disciples that the mantle is passed down from person to person. Compassion and universal salvation must also be carried out step by step. Although a Dharma master who practices in the human world has merits, he does not have that much power if he is not in the Dharma Realm. In a word, how much ability you have, how much merit you can do. Don't be too clever to be fooled by your cleverness. " The old dragon from the Four Seas had a gloomy expression, and he suddenly regained his body of a hundred-foot long dragon. The magic power that originally bound his body has also disappeared. " Please ask the immortals from the upper world to teach you. Don't ask for mysteries, just ask for directions, so you don't get lost. "Old Long cupped his hands and asked the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man laughed dumbly and said: "You are not welcome. Although you and I are not destined to be together, you are still a swindler when I see you, but I do like your temper. " Old Long was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, Immortal! "The middle-aged man said: "You are also a Long Tianlong. You have a very long life, and you have a position, power and fame. If you give it up, you will give up your blessings. Are you willing too? " Old Long said categorically: "I wish. The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Then come." "With a wave of his long sleeve, the old dragon swayed and turned into a small green snake again, and was put into the middle-aged man's sleeve." Master Shanshui squinted for a long time and said, "You sent him to the next world?" "The middle-aged man nodded and said: "No matter how good Long Tian is, he is just a long worm. Giving him a human body for hundreds of lives is also a blessing for him. " Having made up his mind, the middle-aged man suddenly asked curiously: "Master Zixuan, I said you don't wait at home, so what are you doing here with a different face? Master Shanshui frowned and said, "Brother Dao, did you admit the wrong person?" I am not Shi Zixuan, who is Shi Zixuan? "I don't know where a chuckle came from: "Mr. Xuan, you got the wrong person. I'm here, are you looking for me? " Two people came out of Tengyun in the west. One was blond and blue-eyed, not like this person. The other was holding a purple staff and wearing a plain robe. It was Master Zixuan. This time, the middle-aged man finally showed surprise and said: "You are you, Then who is he? "(To be continued) ps: Well, I'm done with my work.
