¡°As expected, anyone who doesn¡¯t tell lies is not a good monk!
This rat demon is indeed pitiful.
"But then again, I am also very confused. The person who made the oath to me was the last abbot of Jingci Temple. I am bound by the oath, but I can also cultivate the Buddhist golden light supernatural power with the help of the power of faith left by Jingci Temple. , it¡¯s impossible to tell whether it¡¯s a gain or a loss.¡±
The rat demon calmed down again in an instant, like an old monk discussing Zen.
Jiang Le was very curious when he saw this.
This rat demon retains its demonic nature, but also has a clear mind of Buddha. It is really strange.
"In this case, you should be grateful. At the end of the Great Dao, if you leave Leifeng Pagoda, you may not be able to transform into a demon. Sixty years is enough for you to reincarnate several times." Jiang Le said seriously.
The rat demon nodded: "What you said makes sense, but it's no longer possible now. I must leave the Lei Feng Pagoda."
Jiang Le was surprised: "Why?"
The temperament of the old rat demon monk disappeared in an instant, and he sneered: "You are also a Taoist, can't you see what Jingci Temple has become now?"
Jiang Le looked in the direction of Jingci Temple, and smiled for a long time: "I understand, if faith does not exist, the power of faith will naturally be gone. If you stay here, you will survive on your own."
The rat demon said: "Although I practice Buddhist techniques, I don't have the great love for Buddha that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva has. The power of faith in Jingci Temple suddenly disappeared forty years ago due to some strange power. , I almost collapsed the golden light magic power that I had finally cultivated. In the past forty years, Jingci Temple has only occasionally had sincere believers to contribute a little bit of faith. It is simply not enough for me to continue my cultivation. Even if you become a monster, you still have a life span. Once it is exhausted, you will regret it in this life. "
Jiang Le nodded, although what the rat demon said did not have the compassion of Buddhism at all.
But it is a demon itself, and it is too difficult for it to protect Leifeng Pagoda until death just for the sake of an oath.
"Fellow Taoist is firm in his Taoism. I admire him very much. Yuan Zhen was in a hurry before. I used some small tricks against you. I deeply apologize. I will make up for this later. Now I want to be fair with you." Fellow Taoist, are you willing to do the deal?" The rat demon looked at Jiang Le again and said it sincerely.
But after almost being cheated just now, Jiang Le would not easily agree out of sympathy.
"What kind of deal does Master Yuanzhen want to do?" Jiang Le asked seriously. The title also changes. Although the other party is a demon. However, he has cultivated Buddhist supernatural powers and has a clear Buddha mind. Although his cultivation level is not high, he is already qualified to be called a Dharma Master.
The rat demon said: "Fellow Taoist is eagerly looking for the Lei Feng Pagoda, presumably because he wants to obtain the inner elixir of the demon cultivator that has been suppressed since ancient times."
Jiang Le nodded: "Not bad."
"I can let you take away what you want, but I need you to bring someone to exchange with me." The rat demon said seriously.
Jiang Le frowned: "I can't agree to this."
The rat demon smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand me. I'm not an evil demon. I want you to bring people here. It's not to harm others, but to save yourself. It's also a gift to Buddha."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Jiang Le's eyes lit up.
The rat demon said seriously: "Three years ago, a family came to visit Leifeng Pagoda. There was a child in that family. When they were looking at Leifeng Pagoda, they saw the Buddha. After entering Leifeng Pagoda, they heard the sound of chanting sutras. It's a pity. The child¡¯s parents didn¡¯t believe what they said, so they left Leifeng Pagoda in a hurry without taking the child to the meditation hall of Jingci Temple.¡±
Jiang Le exclaimed: "Jigong's three passes."
The rat demon nodded and said: "Yes, the Leifeng Pagoda you see now is not the real Leifeng Pagoda. It was built by ordinary people and even collapsed. The real Lei Feng Pagoda is not a tower, but a Buddha."
Jiang Le was surprised: "Buddha? How do you say this?"
The rat demon said: "One leaf, one bodhi, one flower, one world. There is a magical power in Buddhism called Jinglun Buddha Realm. When Jingci Temple was founded, there was a profound Buddhist monk who understood the magical power of Jinglun Buddha Realm, and was wise to the soul. The "Diamond Sutra" scriptures were uttered, and the Buddha's light from the scriptures formed a Buddhist statue on its own, which evolved into a Buddhist realm, which is now the Demon Suppression Pagoda."
Jiang Le was shocked. Reciting a piece of "Diamond Sutra" can turn into a demon-suppressing tower. Buddhist magical powers are indeed quite impressive.
"No, I heard that Leifeng Pagoda was just born, causing great turmoil in the world, and golden flowers celebrated. A big demon came and was killed by the thunder shadow. The Buddhist Diamond Sutra has nothing to do with the magical power of thunder, right?" Jiang Le asked suspiciously.
The rat demon ridiculed: "People in the world make false claims. This matter is also recorded in the secret book of Jingci Temple. The phantom with the word "thunder" did not come from the Leifeng Pagoda at all, but from the Great Dao. The Leifeng Pagoda was born, conforms to the way of heaven, and has its own use. Naturally, the avenue does not allow big demonsDestroy, otherwise apart from the great road, do you think even a pagoda built by a mortal monk would be able to annihilate a big demon without a sound? This is not a pagoda built by the real Buddha. Moreover, the name of Leifeng Pagoda was also spread by outsiders, and the name was gradually adopted. According to the secret book of Jingci Temple, the original name of Leifeng Pagoda is Diamond Pagoda. "
Jiang Le was completely speechless.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbOUTOUT and ??shocked when I heard it, how much news has been spread through false rumors throughout the ages, and then the false news is confused with the true news.
"Thousands of years ago, the holy monk Jigong practiced in Jingci Temple and understood the economic secrets of Leifeng Pagoda. He left behind the theory of three passes. He said that as long as he could pass the three passes, he was a destined disciple of Buddhism and could obtain the Buddha left by the holy monk Jigong. Yuan, you bring the child who has passed two levels. As long as he enters Jingci Temple and gets the Buddhist fate of Jigong, then he will be my Buddhist disciple. I can also transfer the responsibility of guarding Leifeng Pagoda to him. Everyone will be happy. What do you think?" After the rat demon finished speaking, he looked at Jiang Le nervously.
It has to be nervous. It has been working hard for sixty years before meeting a monk. There may be even fewer in the future. According to the common saying that I usually hear, that is, if you miss this village, you will not have this shop. .
Jiang Le pondered.
There is no sinister intention at all in what the rat demon said, just a little selfishness.
But from its point of view, there is nothing wrong with doing so. After finally embarking on the path of spiritual practice, no one wants to wait for death by guarding a tower.
"Fellow Taoist, now that the Great Dao is at the end of the Dharma, there are very few practitioners. Although I am a demon clan, I have not received any training resources for forty years. I relied on the relics left by the Zen masters of the Jingci Temple to refine the Henggu and be able to speak. If If you want to go further, you must look for the opportunity of Buddhism or Taoism, otherwise you will not be able to get the Taoism in this life. For the sake of our pursuit of the Taoism, you should help me." Jiang Le didn't say anything, and the rat demon was so anxious that he almost cried.
Jiang Le looked at the rat demon in surprise. He didn't expect that this little rat ate all the relics left by the Zen masters of Jingci Temple in order to practice. He was really bold.
¡°But if I want to save the red carp, I really have no place to look for the dragon inner elixir I need except the Lei Feng Pagoda. Time is running out, so it seems I can¡¯t refuse this deal.
"I promise you, but we have to make an oath and make a three-part agreement." Jiang Le said seriously.
The rat demon's eyes flashed with excitement, and his little head nodded: "Just agree, don't say three chapters, thirty chapters will be fine." (To be continued)
PS: The first chapter is uploaded. There will be a second chapter in the afternoon, but I can¡¯t confirm the time.
