Chapter 37 On the Tao
Time flies, and when spring turns, spring goes and autumn comes. In a flash, ten years have passed. For ten years, Guanyin Bodhisattva has never left Luojia Mountain, and it is obvious that he wants to monitor Yang Zhen’s appearance.
However, Guanyin Bodhisattva chooses to hold a preaching several days every year. At that time, except for Guanyin Bodhisattva’s disciples, they will go to Chaoyin Cave to listen to the lecture. Before each preaching, Guanyin Bodhisattva will send someone to invite Yang Zhen to listen to the sermon together, which will give Yang Zhen a very high face.
Over the past ten years, Yang Zhen’s relationship with the dragon girl of Shancai has improved a lot. Although he still couldn’t help but face cold eyes when he met, it was not the situation that he would never stop at the beginning. As for Mu Zha, Yang Zhen and him had a friendship. Since that battle ten years ago, Mu Zha has recognized Yang Zhen’s strength. Since then, Mu Zha has often gone to Yang Zhen to compete. After a while, the relationship between the two has improved. They often discuss together on weekdays, and have become friends.
"well!"
With a sigh, Yang Zhen sat on the bank of the lotus pond, staring listlessly at the goldfish in the pond, thinking about the life of prison for the past ten years.
Life is worse than death? It’s still impossible to say. It’s just that being under house arrest like this really makes Yang Zhen feel uncomfortable. Although he has never shown it, when he is alone, Yang Zhen still sighs. He is still not strong enough. If he has the cultivation level of the Daluo Jinxian at this moment, how could Guanyin Bodhisattva trap him?
Moreover, if you haven't left Luojia Mountain for ten years, Yang Zhen has no chance to do "tasks" and earn merits. He can't learn any of the skills in the mall. This feeling is really tormenting.
However, there is not no good news. Because Yang Zhen often does good deeds in order to earn merit, many places in Xiniu Hezhou have set up temples for Yang Zhen to worship Yang Zhen, praying that Yang Zhen can come again and give them a good life.
In this way, Yang Zhen also had a steady supply of merit. Although it was just a drop in the bucket and could not even provide daily practice, it was much better than those who did not have double experience.
"Why do you have to leave Luojia Mountain?"
Hearing someone talking, Yang Zhen turned around and said in surprise: "Bodhisattva?"
"Luojia Mountain is beautiful and has abundant spiritual energy. You can listen to me preaching the sutras on weekdays, but why do you always want to leave?" asked Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Guanyin Bodhisattva really couldn't guess Yang Zhen's thoughts. In Guanyin Bodhisattva's view, when the saints were not released, he was the first-class master in the three realms. How many practitioners in the three realms want to worship him as their masters and want to stay in Luojia Mountain to practice, but Guanyin Bodhisattva never saw them directly.
Now Guanyin Bodhisattva personally spoke up to let Yang Zhen stay in Luojia Mountain, but Yang Zhen looked unhappy, but instead wanted to leave Luojia Mountain as soon as possible.
Although Guanyin Bodhisattva knew who Yang Zhen’s master was, Guanyin Bodhisattva did not think that Yang Zhen knew the true identity of Patriarch Subhuti.
Under such circumstances, Guanyin Bodhisattva did not understand Yang Zhen’s thoughts.
This was not a big deal, but Guanyin Bodhisattva had a plan to join Yang Zhen, so Guanyin Bodhisattva wanted to understand Yang Zhen’s idea so that he could make arrangements as soon as possible and let Yang Zhen join that plan.
"Although this place is good, it is not my home, so I have no feelings for it." Yang Zhen explained.
Upon hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned slightly. Guanyin Bodhisattva really couldn't understand what Yang Zhen said. Staying in Luojia Mountain was really beneficial to Yang Zhen, and it was even more of a great help to practice. But Yang Zhen said, "There is no emotion for this place." Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't know what kind of emotion it was.
"Then where is your home?" Guanyin Bodhisattva asked again.
After a moment of silence, Yang Zhen said, "I'm afraid there isn't here."
After looking at Guanyin Bodhisattva, Yang Zhen continued, "Only a hundred years later, I will go back to Fangcun Mountain. My master handed me Fangcun Mountain, and it will be my temple in the future."
"A hundred years will not last too long. But I want to know, what are you practicing for?" asked Guanyin Bodhisattva.
"Why did the Bodhisattva ask this?" Yang Zhen said in confusion.
Guanyin Bodhisattva said: "For the past ten years, I think you seem to yearn for the life of mortals."
Yang Zhen smiled and said happily: "Yes, mortals have many kinds of feelings such as love, hate, love, hatred, etc., so the life of mortals is the most colorful."
"So I really want to know why you chose to cultivate immortality. After cultivating immortality, you must stay away from the world, forget the feelings in the world, and pursue the way of heaven with all your heart." Guanyin Bodhisattva said.
Yang Zhen shook his head and smiled, "I have a different understanding from the Bodhisattva. The way of heaven is ruthless, so the Bodhisattva practices the path of ruthlessness. Although people in the world call you Guanyin who is 'great compassionate and great mercy, saves suffering and suffering', the Bodhisattva is just to prove his own path. But the path I pursue is different from you. I want to walk out of a path of sentient beings. I don't know if I can step into that supreme holy position like this, but I don't regret it. If I cut off good, evil, and self, will I still be me?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Yang Zhen and said, "I'm afraid you will be the first monk to have such a thought since his birth."
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhen giggled and said, "So, I am unique."
"I have something I want you to help. If you agree, I will let you go in forty years." After a moment of silence, Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly said.
After thinking about it, Yang Zhen smiled and said, "Okay, Bodhisattva, please say, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help."
Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "This is not busy, I will go to find you in the future."
Shaking his head, Yang Zhen frowned and said, "Bodhisattva, if you don't say what it is, I will not agree to you. If you ask me to do something that is ten dead and lifeless in the future, will I also want to do it?"
With a faint smile, Guanyin Bodhisattva spoke, "Don't worry, this is definitely something you can do easily."
"Okay!" Yang Zhen stood up, put away the fishing rod, and said, "Then let it be decided. In forty years, I will leave Luojia Mountain. At that time, the Bodhisattva should not be reluctant to leave me."
After saying that, Yang Zhen left the lotus pond and walked towards his bamboo house.
"The monkey stayed in the Bagua Furnace for 49 days, that is, forty-nine years in the Earth Immortal Realm. It seems that Guanyin Bodhisattva doesn't want me to participate in the trouble of the Heavenly Palace. Forget it, no matter what the matter is, at worst, go and see him in the future." Yang Zhen lay on the bed, quietly thinking about his thoughts...
When you leave Luojia Mountain, you will earn merit, learn all the skills of the mall, and then...
Then find a wife!
hey-hey!
Who should I find as my wife?
Spider spirit? Vox spirit? Scorpion spirit?
No, if they suddenly change back to their original body while sleeping, wouldn’t it be so disgusting?
Find a fairy, gentle and considerate, and can serve others...
