Volume 1: A stone strikes a thousand waves, the world surrounds Li Daosheng Chapter 131 If there is a Buddha's light in front of you, just walk back
" Save people." Yuanjie repeated these two words several times. Suddenly, he laughed as if he had suddenly realized something: "Haha."
"Hahaha." He laughed out loud, tilting his head back, and laughed for a long time as if he had heard the funniest thing.
It was also after a long time that his laughter gradually subsided...
Yuanjie's smile remained on his face, with a hint of bitterness. He stared at the Vajra Buddha statue in front of him and asked softly.
"Donor, do you know where one goes when someone kills someone in Buddhism?"
Li Si did not answer, but just sat aside. After all, he was not a Buddhist.
"Killing people will lead you to hell, where you will go through the eleventh and eighteenth levels of hell and suffer the pain of countless people." Yuanjie asked himself and answered.
As he spoke, he lowered his head, his skinny body facing away from the light outside the door, and buried his face deep in the shadows.
"So who would advise others to go to hell?" he asked with a wry smile.
But this is the path Yuanyuan pointed out to him, and it is also the path he should have taken.
For a monk, if there is a bright Buddha light in front of him, he should walk backwards.
Because everyone wants to move forward, but the road ahead cannot accommodate so many people.
This is probably what is meant by a monk who cannot save himself. If one devotes all his energy to Buddhism, he cannot become a Buddha.
The Vajra in the hall was still glaring at them, but Yuanjie did not look up at them again. The incense had burned halfway, so he turned around and looked at Li Si.
"Donor, are you here this time to ask me to do something?"
"Indeed." Li Si nodded and said, "The Jin people in the north are invading, and the Tiance Mansion has issued a call for the whole country. I would like to ask the master to go and help."
Yuanjie thought for a while, closed his eyes again, sat in the hall and said, "Then go ahead, donor. I will be there soon."
He agreed to do this, not only because Li Si brought Yuan Yuan's words to him, but also because it was what he should do.
Li Si bowed to Yuanjie, then left the Zhijie Hall with Shuhunu.
Outside the precept hall, the old trees are still shedding leaves, probably because autumn is approaching .
Looking back, I saw the old monk in the hall still sitting there, with his back to the sky, facing Vajra and chanting Buddhist scriptures in a low voice.
Whether he was right or wrong, Li Si didn’t know, because Li Si couldn’t even save himself.
When he walked out of the door, Li Si found another old monk standing there. He was wearing a red cassock, had a kind face, and his hands were clasped together.
When he saw Li Si, he bowed to him and said slowly, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for enlightening my fellow disciple Yuanjie."
Li Si knew this man. He was Yuannian, the abbot of Shaolin Temple.
"I didn't enlighten him." Seeing Yuan Nian, Li Si's expression became unnatural for a moment, then returned to normal, and he waved his hand and said.
"I just brought some words for someone else."
Yuan Nian nodded and said, "Then Mr. Li, can you tell me where my fellow apprentice brother Yuan Yuan is now?"
Li Si thought about it and didn't tell him, because whether to tell him or not should be something the old monk should decide on his own.
"If he didn't say it, I can't say it."
After saying this to Yuan Nian, Li Si walked past Yuan Nian, apparently intending to leave.
But who knew that Yuan Nian would follow and walk beside Li Si and say.
"In that case, I won't ask any more questions. But it seems that Mr. Li is indeed destined to be with my Buddhist sect. I wonder if you have thought carefully about what I said before about joining my Buddhist sect. Well, Mr. Li, please listen to me. In my Buddhist sect..."
Sure enough, it comes again.
Listening to Yuan Nian chattering beside him, the blue vein on Li Si's forehead jumped.
Every time the old monk saw him, he would persuade him to convert to Buddhism. No one knew what he saw in him.
But being pestered by this monk was really annoying, which was why Li Si was in a hurry to leave as soon as he saw him.
Seeing that Yuan Nian was about to talk endlessly again, Li Si quickly stretched out a hand to the tiger girl and said.
"Girl, give me your hand."
"Ah? Hmm." The tiger girl was stunned for a moment, but still obediently stretched her hand into Li Si's hand.
The next moment, Li Si jumped into the air with the tiger girl and left by stepping on the treetops.
Yuan Nian was left alone, standing there stupidly for a long while.
When Yuan Nian came to his senses, he looked in the direction where Li Si left, shook his head and said.
"Could it be that you have already developed a deep affection for me? Well, that would be difficult to deal with."
…
On the other side, in the Huanqing Mountains.
When Jiang Lian'er arrived at Dugu Bufu's mountain gate, Dugu Bufu personally came down the mountain to greet him.
This was a rare event, because there were not many people in the martial arts world who could be picked up by Dugu Bufu himself. At least Li Si did not have this privilege. He should be thankful that he was not attacked by swords when he entered someone else's mountain gate.
"I thought the person who came to see me would be Li Si." Dugu Bu said so when he saw Jiang Lian'er.
"Why, is it not okay for me to come?" Jiang Lian'er asked with a smile.
"No." Dugu Bufu replied calmly. In fact, he would rather it was Jiang Lian'er who came.
It’s just that the person who meddles in other people’s business in the martial arts world is usually Li Si, because no one is as free as him.
People in the martial arts world are also human beings. Some have to make a living, some have to support their families, and some have to practice martial arts. People like Li Si who don't have to worry about anything are truly an exception.
"Where is Yun'er?" Walking on the mountain path, Dugu Bufu glanced at Jiang Lian'er and asked.
"I'm leaving him in the care of a friend." Jiang Lian'er replied gently, looking at the trees in the mountains with a hint of reminiscence in her eyes.
"Yeah." Dugu Bufu nodded, and then asked, "How is Huaiyang Pass?"
He had heard about this matter as soon as the Tiance Mansion issued the nationwide call for submission, so he naturally guessed the purpose of Jiang Lian'er's visit to him this time.
"There are now only 130,000 Tiancefu troops left, defending Huaiyang Pass. I heard that food and grass are also in short supply. They can only hold out for another three months at most."
Jiang Lian'er put her hands behind her back and spoke as she walked.
Dugu Bufu nodded slightly, remained silent for a moment, thought for a moment, and then asked the third question.
“How many people in the world would go there?”
Jiang Lian'er turned her head, looked at Dugu Bufu, and then looked outside the mountain.
"Currently, the confirmed ones include the Five Mountains Sword Sect, Wudang, Beggars' Sect, Emei, Tang Sect, Qingcheng, Fengyu Tower, Blood Clothes Tower, etc."
"Where is Li Si?" Obviously, Dugu Bufu had expected that this man would interfere in this matter.
"He still has to look for a few other people, so let me come find you first." Jiang Lian'er smiled and said to Dugu Bufu.
"Who?" Dugu Bufu asked concisely and clearly.
"Tang Chong, the monk who keeps the precepts, Yan Jinling, and Gong Bushi." Jiang Lian'er called out the four names one by one.
"Hmph." Dugu Bubu stopped listening and snorted softly, with a hint of smile on his lips.
"I knew he wouldn't be idle."
Jiang Lian'er also raised her eyebrows and smiled: "He is not a person who would sit idle."
