"What kind of cultivation is this?"
Fang Xing almost gnashed his teeth in hatred, but his palm still froze in mid-air and did not continue to press down.
He also knew that many cultivators needed to endure endless pain, which could not be interrupted at will...
More importantly, he heard a kind of bitterness in Shinsyu's voice that he had never heard before. Although it was so faint that it was difficult to detect, he keenly felt it. This made his heart tremble slightly, and he could not bear to press down. He could not understand what kind of experience could make a person like Shinsyu, who was born with a bright Taoist heart, feel such despair...
"Senior Brother, I have already been to the Buddha Realm..."
Seeing that Fang Xing had stopped, Shinsyu's expression also seemed a little gratified. After a pause, he looked up at Fang Xing's eyes and said softly, "I stepped into the Star Area through the Taoist Immortal Path. I did not enter the Philosophers' Dojo as arranged by the elders. Instead, I planned to enter the Buddha Realm to see the former Buddha relics. I also wanted to complete the agreement with Senior Brother Hui Neng and rebuild the Spiritual Mountain before his return..."
"And then?"
Fang Xing already knew that Shinsyu had not entered the Philosophers' Dojo, but his subsequent experience was unknown.
"I did enter the Buddha Realm, but I found that there..."
Shinsyu's expression was a little hesitant and even a little desperate. After a slight pause, he still said, "Nothing!"
"Huh?"
When Fang Xing heard this, he could not help but be stunned. He looked at Shinsyu in surprise.
He had long known that even the Dragon Realm and the Demon Realm had corresponding inheritances left behind. They were just waiting for their successors.
In the past, the Buddha Realm was even more powerful than the Dragon Realm and the Demon Realm. It could almost compete with the Taoists, especially the Buddha Lord ten thousand years ago. He seemed to have expected the great calamity that would come later, so he left the Buddha Fruit and waited for the Twin Buddha to continue the inheritance of the Buddha Sect. Since he could set up such a contingency plan in Tianyuan Capital, how could he not leave a legacy in the Buddha Realm?
"It's true, there's nothing..."
Shinsyu smiled bitterly and said, "There are no scriptures, no Buddhist treasures, not even a complete Buddha statue. Even the world there is incomplete. There are no living creatures. It is even more desolate than an ordinary Star Area. There is no heritage at all..."
Fang Xing could not help but be stunned. "Then how are you going to build the Spirited Mountain again? How are you going to lead the Buddhists through the great calamity?"
"Yeah, what should we do?"
Shinsyu smiled bitterly. "Even the Buddhist Sect is about to disappear. How can I lead the Buddhist Sect through the great tribulation?"
Looking at Shinsyu's almost desperate expression, Fang Xing's heart could not help but tremble. He could see that Shinsyu must also know the story that the old Phoenix had told him. The despair in that story was the Great Tribulation, and Shinsyu's mission was to lead Buddhism through the Great Tribulation. But now, he clearly did not even have the right to board the ship, so why would he need to go through the Tribulation?
"For the past few decades, I have been thinking about this problem!"
Shinsyu sighed softly and continued, "I also tried to do a lot of things, but in the end, I still achieved nothing, which made me feel a kind of despair. Sometimes, I even began to doubt the arrangement of the Buddha Master ten thousand years ago. I was wondering if I really had no wisdom, and if my reasoning was wrong. I thought that all the Dharma should start from the beginning, from all living beings, but when I really faced it, I didn't know how to start. Perhaps, Senior Brother Huineng..."
He had once debated for ten lifetimes and insisted on his own principles for ten thousand years, but now he began to doubt...
Fang Xing was also a little sad. He understood the pain in Shinsyu's heart and couldn't help sighing. He comforted him in a low voice, "Junior Brother, even if you can't think of a way to revitalize the Buddhist Sect, you don't have to get married in a fit of anger." At this point, he also felt a little ridiculous and complained, "The key is that after you get married, you are still not the eldest. You are only ranked 109..."
"Senior Brother, you are laughing at me again..."
Shinsyu was also a little helpless. "It's just that in the past few decades, I have preached the Way, preached the scriptures, tried to save the common people, and built a temple, but in the end, I have achieved nothing. My Buddhist heart, which has always been clear, finally had a Buddhist barrier. I almost spent my days in a daze. Then, finally, one day, I fell asleep under the Bodhi tree and dreamed of a Buddha..."
"Eh? There are still Saints alive in the Buddhist Sect? "
When Fang Xing heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly asked.
"It wasn't a Buddhist sage who passed on a dream to enlighten me …"
All the Buddhas in the sky advised the Bodhisattva to return to the Spirited Mountain. However, the Bodhisattva could not bear to abandon the creatures here, and his Buddhist heart became firmer. Since he was disturbed by the demons, he preached from the demons. With great wisdom and boundless Buddhist heart, he enlightened the demons who disturbed his preaching. Finally, the Bodhi Flower bloomed. The three demons became the Three Great Protectors and helped the Bodhisattva to preach. They built temples and enlightened the creatures with all their strength. After that, the Buddhism in the Demonic Land gradually flourished, and the Bodhisattva also became a Buddha... "
Fang Xing listened very carefully. In the end, he said in surprise, "She didn't get married …"
Shinsyu was speechless. In the end, he gave up the idea of explaining and said with a gentle smile, "After that dream, I finally got rid of the Devil Barrier. I decided to follow the example of the predecessors and enlighten the Six Demons as the foundation of the Buddhist Sect. This Lady Mo Chi'er, the Blissful Devil Master, once comprehended some Buddhist Dharma and was fated with our Buddhist Sect. Therefore, I chose her as the first one, hoping that I could enlighten her …"
"That's a famous devil in the world. You can't even enlighten me. Where do you get the confidence to enlighten her?"
Fang Xing couldn't understand Shinsyu's thoughts and couldn't help smiling bitterly.
Hearing this, Shinsyu's expression became a little bitter. He said, "Senior Brother, you can't compare her with you …"
Fang Xing nodded and said, "Yes, I still have Buddhist nature …"
Shinsyu continued with a wry smile, "... I think there's hope for her to be enlightened!"
Fang Xing was stunned and didn't know how to respond. His face didn't look very good either.
Shinsyu hurriedly said, "Look, she didn't kill me after seeing me for the first time. She even told me a lot. It can be seen that she has Buddhist nature!"
"Forget it. I guess she just likes you because you look pretty …"
Fang Xing waved his hand. He really didn't want to talk to the little monk who had become very stupid. After pondering for a moment, he advised in a low voice, "Junior Brother, don't be so willful. Come with me. Don't suffer here. After we get out, if you want to build a temple, I'll give you money. If you want to find Buddhist disciples, I'll get my subordinates to shave their heads. They can do anything …"
Shinsyu looked up at Fang Xing and said, "Senior Brother, can you join the Buddhist Sect and become a monk?"
Fang Xing choked for a moment and said, "That's too much …"
Shinsyu immediately laughed as if he had guessed it.
Fang Xing became ruthless and said, "Okay, okay, okay. You want to enlighten this Blissful Demon Master, right? Come with me, I'll help you!"
Shinsyu smiled bitterly and said, "How?"
Fang Xing sneered and said, "It's simple. Whether this woman agrees or not, I'll force her to follow you and become a monk!"
Shinsyu shook his head gently and said with a chuckle, "Senior Brother, if you want to enlighten her, you have to cut off the desire in her heart!"
Fang Xing sneered and said, "That's even simpler. Don't think that I don't understand. Isn't it just lust and emptiness? Did you choose this Blissful Demon Master as the first person to be enlightened because she has more men? Haha, don't worry. After going out with me, I'll immediately kill all her men so that she can be free even if she doesn't want to and become a monk … "
"Senior Brother, you really have your reasons …"
Shinsyu laughed, then endured the pain of the thorns, raised his hand, pointed at his nose, and said, "But in this way, I'm her last man. Senior Brother, do I have to kill myself too?"
"You …"
Fang Xing was a little dumbfounded and said, "… Isn't it too unreasonable?"
"The Buddhist doctrine is not reasonable in the first place …"
Shinsyu chuckled and then put his palms together. Although the thorns pierced deeper into his flesh as he moved, he looked very calm and even peaceful. He slowly bowed to Fang Xing and said, "Senior Brother, I know you're thinking about me, but Shinsyu has already dedicated his body to the Dharma of Buddhism. His ambition is only to rebuild the Spiritual Mountain and lead the Buddhism Sect through the great tribulation. What's this little pain? Senior Brother, you don't have to worry about these things anymore. You are a person of the mortal world and love to be free and unfettered. Although you are a protector of the Buddhism Sect, I can't ask you to stay in the sect for my own sake. I still have to walk this path myself … "
"Why are they all like this?"
Fang Xing could not help but think of Ao Lie. That long worm also wanted to walk his own path, so he left Fang Xing's side to search for Ao Lie's Dao-heart. Even now, Ao Lie's fate was unknown. This kind of worry always made Fang Xing's heart feel heavy …
"Then … what else can I help you with?"
After a long silence, he couldn't help but speak softly, feeling a little disappointed.
He really didn't want to see Shinsyu's thorny appearance, but he also understood that there was no way to stop it.
Shinsyu also seemed to think for a moment. Suddenly, he smiled softly and said, "Senior Brother … did you bring wine?"
Fang Xing was stunned and nodded. "I have plenty!"
A smile appeared on Shinsyu's face. "Then Senior Brother, can you … feed me a mouthful of wine?"
Fang Xing's heart was also moved. Looking at the little monk's smiling face, he sighed softly, took out a wine gourd, pulled out the stopper, and poured half a jar of Emperor Syrup into the wine. Then, he reached into the thorns, handed it to Shinsyu's mouth, and fed him a mouthful!
In fact, Shinsyu only took a small sip and stopped drinking.
He closed his eyes slightly, as if he was experiencing the taste. After a long time, he opened his eyes.
"In the past few decades, I always dreamed of drinking and eating meat with Senior Brother and peeking at fairies bathing …"
Shinsyu said softly, and a smile appeared on his face. "… How nostalgic!"
