Just like the past countless days, the melodious morning bell rang again, reverberating in the Mount Meru Mountain Range, reverberating in the mist and mountain breeze. It had passed through countless years of time and would still reverberate day after day in the future.
Standing in the morning light, Ghost Li clasped his hands behind his back, listening attentively.
He closed his eyes slightly, as if that melodious bell sound reverberated, to savor it carefully. Right now Ghost Li, for some reason, his appearance did not change but he looked like a different person, from his bearing and demeanour, compared to the past, there was more calmness, less viciousness.
Or maybe, it was really those Buddhist formations that had taken effect?
This question, among the Tian Yin Temple monks, after Ghost Li woke up, many of them had this question in their hearts.
The day before yesterday, after Ghost Li woke up again, PuHong Master and the rest carefully examined him, there were no other major injuries, even the slight tremors from the heavy blows did not seem to exist on Ghost Li's body. PuHong Master was overjoyed, as a precaution, he asked Ghost Li to stay in Tian Yin Temple for a few more days, Ghost Li did not decline, stayed in Tian Yin Temple.
These few days, Ghost Li was even more reticent than usual, towards someone like him who had angered the Heaven and sent down the punishment, the Tian Yin Temple monks mostly avoided him, only PuHong Master and FaXiang did not have any scruples, often came over to visit him. And Ghost Li himself did not seem to notice the outside world, did not step out of the house, only when the morning bell and evening drum sounded, he would go to the small courtyard, quietly listen.
[Dong …]
The last bell sound, with an unceasing lingering sound, reverberated above Tian Yin Temple for a long time, finally turned silent. Ghost Li then slowly opened his eyes.
Bathing in Tian Yin Temple's morning breeze, the energy in his body under his quiet exterior was surging, as if his entire person was about to fly up. The Tian Yin Temple monks would not know but Ghost Li himself, understood in his heart.
In that Wordless Jade Wall, what unexpectedly appeared, was the legendary Evil Sect classic [Tian Shu] fourth volume, others might not understand but he was the only person in this world who had cultivated [Tian Shu] first three volumes, with one look he could tell that it was the crucial fourth volume that he had been yearning for day and night on his cultivation journey.
In his past cultivation countless of seemingly indestructible, insurmountable problems, right now, he had already grasped the crux, placed before him, it was almost a broad road, a smooth and boundless road. Even in his heart, he had this feeling, if he continued on this road, it would definitely be very smooth for him, maybe, he could even peek into some realms that he did not dare to hope for in the past.
Even when he was looking at his past emotions, at the human affairs before him, he also had a feeling of detachment, he could not help but feel a sense of detachment.
But for some reason, in his heart, in such a great situation, he still felt a faint sense of loss, but he didn't know how to describe it. The faintly discernible thought that something was amiss was still lingering in his mind.
Ghost Li stood there for a long time, no one knew what he was thinking and no one came in to disturb him. Until he suddenly turned, for the first time in several days, he walked out of this small courtyard.
When he left the courtyard, he did not turn back once.
Following the steps under his feet, he unhurriedly walked, it was said that this path, was once that monk in order to spread Buddhism, made a great wish and used great powers to create it. Today, countless people were still walking on the path he created, but how many knew, he had already turned into ashes.
Walking on this path, the layers of stone steps were simple and unadorned, stepping on it, the feeling of levelness was felt. A few days ago, after the unexpected battle that caused the sky to change color, the earth to shake and the mountains to shake, the temples and halls on Mount Meru were all damaged to varying degrees. Only this flat mountain path was not affected in the slightest, it was still firmly laid on the ground, allowing countless people to walk over its chest.
Maybe, to the unpredictable Heaven deities, this path also carried some special feelings?
Ghost Li did not know, he also did not want to know, he walked on this path, only silently recalling the past and old friends, in his memories, he slowly walked to Little Tian Yin Temple on Mount Meru.
The door was ajar, this place was as tranquil as usual, Ghost Li unhurriedly walked over, behind the door, indistinctly voices were heard.
He knocked on the door.
The voices immediately disappeared, then someone seemed bewildered, softly made a sound, the next moment, the door opened with a creak, FaXiang appeared behind the door.
Seeing Ghost Li, FaXiang revealed a smile, Ghost Li nodded, said, "Abbot Master in?"
FaXiang smiled and moved aside, said, "Here, please come in!"
Ghost Li walked in, saw PuHong Master sitting cross-legged on the meditation bed, similarly smiling at him. Ghost Li walked over to PuHong Master, bowed, said, "Abbot Master."
PuHong Master looked at Ghost Li's figure, his eyes from top to bottom, and finally at his feet, suddenly nodded, put his palms together and said, "Didn't expect in this short period of time, patron's skills have improved greatly, it is really worthy of congratulations!"
Ghost Li's brows raised, did not speak, FaXiang was instead slightly surprised, carefully assessed Ghost Li from the side.
After a moment of silence, Ghost Li slightly lowered his head to PuHong Master, said, "A few days ago because of me, your esteemed temple's Wordless Jade Wall was destroyed, I really feel uneasy."
PuHong Master gently shook his head, indifferently said, "Just a small matter, not worth mentioning."
Ghost Li was slightly stunned, said, "That Wordless Jade Wall is your esteemed temple's treasure, isn't it precious?"
PuHong Master put his palms together, said, "The affairs of the world turn, all living beings are gone, who knows what will happen after? Treasuring it today, who knows what will happen in the future? If patron has the heart, "he pointed outside the window, said," There is a big stone on the right outside Little Tian Yin Temple, patron go take a look, maybe you will understand the Buddha's heart. "
Ghost Li nodded, said, "Yes. But I came here today, is to bid farewell to abbot master. "
PuHong Master's face did not show any surprise, as if he had expected Ghost Li would say that, he only nodded and said, "If patron wishes to go, old monk does not dare to stop you. Just that before patron leaves, old monk has a few words, I want to say to patron. "
Ghost Li said, "Master please speak."
PuHong Master said, "Patron in this period of time, faced with many calamities but in the end was able to resolve them one by one, I see patron's heart seems to be enlightened, not sure if it is?"
Ghost Li pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Master is discerning, after surviving a calamity, I indeed have some feelings. Looking back on half my life, I have many feelings of regret. "
PuHong Master's eyes flashed, said, "Patron is a person of great wisdom, since you have already seen through it, why not see through this worldly feelings and come under my Buddhist sect? With old monk's conjecture, what patron is thinking in your heart, is only the word 'quiet', what do you think? "
Ghost Li was silent, after a long time stood up, bowed to PuHong Master, indifferently said, "Master enlightened me, I am very grateful. Just that I may have some enlightenment in my heart but it is not that I have seen through the worldly feelings. To me, the worldly feelings, is what I cannot bear to part with. "
PuHong Master shook his head and said, "Buddha said: Form is emptiness! All things in the worldly world are like this, gratitude and grudges, love and enmity, beauties and enemies, it is all just the word 'form', trapping one's mind, disturbing one's peace, patron why must you be so stubborn? "
Ghost Li looked up to the sky and breathed, laughed loudly, turned and left, in a clear voice he said, "Master, you are wrong. Form is emptiness, that emptiness is also form. You want me to see through the worldly feelings, but how can I see through the worldly feelings? I am between heaven and earth, gratitude and grudges, love and enmity, is exactly my life's circumstances. You want me to see through peace, but how would you know, after seeing through it, will it still be me? "
His voice gradually deepened and finally disappeared. The man had already left the meditation room and was far away.
FaXiang was silent for a long time, said to PuHong Master, "Master, you have enlightened him several times, a pity …"
PuHong Master indifferently said, "His enlightenment and cultivation, in the future I'm afraid he will be the world's number one figure. But such a figure, actually unable to see through his own heart's devil, in the future, it will depend on his own good fortune. "
FaXiang lowered his head, placed his palms together and chanted, in the end did not speak.
Ghost Li left Little Tian Yin Temple, when he walked out of the temple, he suddenly stopped again, paused for a moment and turned to the right, after a few steps, he saw a huge rock half the height of a person lying on the ground.
He walked to the rock and carefully looked at it, the rock was full of marks but there was not a single word or sentence, there was also no trace of human chiseling, he did not know what mysteries this rock had.
Ghost Li frowned, pondered for a moment, suddenly his eyes focused, his attention was attracted by a spot on the rock.
This rock was mottled, evidently it had experienced countless years of wind blades and frost swords, riddled with scars but at that spot, a picture could be seen indistinctly. Just that due to the passage of time, it was difficult to identify.
Ghost Li stretched his hand over, gently swept away the dust on the rock, carefully examined, after a long time, he then recognized that it was a shell shape, just that over the passage of time, it had already turned into stone, merged with the rock. And Ghost Li then carefully examined the rock again, did not find anything else strange.
His eyes, again returned to that shell, could it be that what PuHong Master wanted him to see, was this ordinary shell, in it, what mystery was there?
He recalled what PuHong Master said in his heart, his eyes looked at that shell, slowly brightened. Mount Meru towered high, within a thousand miles, there was no sea or deep ocean but this rock, clearly was something from Mount Meru. Thousands of years ago, perhaps this place was a vast ocean, it was unknown.
