If a good person dies like a lamp going out, will you be reincarnated?

Chapter 37: A hermit monk, at the end of the Dharma era

I heard Huiming say that he was willing to tell me about the extraordinary things in this world.

Of course Xu Lei wants to listen.

There is nothing to hesitate about.

Isn't it just pretending to be a holy monk to catch monsters?
No matter how dangerous it is, the most it means is death.

And Xu Lei is not very afraid of death now.

He has given birth to many children now, and his reincarnation function is basically stable.

Naturally, we want to pursue the extraordinary and make every life last longer.

"I promise."

So Xu Lei said: "It doesn't matter how you cooperate.

After all, I am also a disciple of Buddhism, and subduing demons is what I should do.

That is to say, I don’t have extraordinary power and can’t deal with spirits, otherwise I would fall prey to them myself.

Okay, nephew Huiming, stop talking nonsense.

Say it.

What is the so-called extraordinary thing?

Why do you obviously have extraordinary powers, but you have been living like an ordinary monk all these years?
Even much more low-key than ordinary monks?
Even the brothers in the temple are not allowed to know that you have extraordinary power?
Now if you want to subdue the demon, why do you need me, a fake divine monk, to come forward?

Kill a bandit and hide it?

Uncle Master, I am very good to you, right?

Why can't you give me a hand?
Since you didn't want to say it before, why did you suddenly come to me to say it now?
And what is the extraordinary skill you have cultivated? "

Xu Lei asked questions again and again.

"Amitabha."

Huiming said: "Since Uncle Wu is greedy, you agree.

Then my nephew, I will answer your questions.

But the problems were too many at once.

I don't even know where to start answering! "

Speaking of it.

Huiming paused.

"Let me first tell you why you need to be so low-key."

Then he said: "Why is he hiding himself so much even though he has extraordinary power? Even the other brothers and sisters in the temple don't know.

And why don't you just hide it when you kill a bandit?

Why didn't I tell you directly to my uncle? When you asked me, I ran away.

This is all because the practice of today's spiritual practice focuses on avoiding cause and effect and practicing in seclusion.

Uncle Master, you should have heard that some Taoist masters often go to live in the mountains.

Avoid the world and avoid all contact with relatives, right? "

"Indeed I have heard of it."

Xu Lei remembered some of the legends about Taoist practitioners that Earth had heard, and nodded and said, "Taoist practice, according to rumors, emphasizes living in seclusion and not being involved in cause and effect.

Even some Taoist priests have to avoid sexual intercourse with women and cut off love and affection.

Some are even more outrageous and want to kill their wives to prove their truth? Killing sister proves? "

"Yes, Taoism and Buddhism come from the same source."

Huiming said: "Therefore, the Buddhist teachings that I, my nephew, practice are the same as those of these Taoists.

We also pay attention to escaping from the world and practicing solitude, without getting involved in cause and effect.

Therefore, we cannot let others know that we are true monks who truly have the Dharma.

Even other ordinary monks in the same temple!
Therefore, I, my nephew, have never told my uncle this.

To kill the bandit, I also did it secretly.

Don't want to expose yourself. "

"Then can I understand it this way? In fact, in Longyuan Temple, the only two real monks are you and Brother Wu Gui?"

Xu Lei said: "Senior Brother Qi De and I, as well as other monks, are actually just Buddhist sects, hired to do odd jobs to manage local Buddhist affairs?
Let me think about why Taoism and Buddhism have never had to pay taxes in all dynasties.

Is it just because of the existence of you monks who truly have magical powers?
But you open temples all over the world to collect incense.

It’s impossible to do all the little things yourself.

After all, you still have to practice.

Therefore, ordinary monks were born who were unable to practice and did not know that there was true Buddhism in the world.

Moreover, when you enter Buddhism, you must eat fast, refrain from sexual intercourse with women, etc.

I guess it was originally used to discipline you monks who really practice true Buddhism, right?

After all, you can't eat meat every day, and you can't have sex with women.

It is also impossible to watch other ordinary monks do this.

So this rule was established.

Let all the monks in the temple do the same.

That’s fine, and it doesn’t have to affect your intention to cultivate Buddhism.

It can also maintain the image of a Buddhist disciple.

Therefore, although you also practice martial arts, you have never eaten meat.

And for ordinary monks like me, eating meat can obviously make the body stronger.

The effect of physical exercise will be better. "

"Amitabha."

Huiming said: "Master Wu Ke is worthy of being an eminent disciple brought up by a reclusive eminent monk.

I just told some information, and my uncle was able to think of so many things.

That's right, what you said, Uncle Master, is correct. "

"What a disciple of a hermit monk."

Xu Lei shook his head: "Master nephew, don't say that again. You are the real monk with magical powers.

I'm just a fake monk pretending to be a god. "

"Uncle Wu is greedy, don't be humble."

Huiming said, "Although you don't have the talent to practice Buddhism.

But you were able to save people by exchanging blood, and the wooden cows and horses you donated, the Pythagorean diagram of arithmetic, potatoes, An Shice, etc., impressed both me and Master Wu Gui.

Therefore, your mentor must be a truly enlightened monk with great supernatural powers.

However, he may see that you, uncle, do not have the talent to practice Buddhism. So I didn’t teach you Buddhism, Master.

I won’t tell you about these cultivation matters.

I'm just teaching you some tips on how to manage the world. "

Xu Lei nodded.

Nothing was said.

But I understand in my heart.

Huiming, these true monks, although they have practiced the true Buddha Dharma, possess extraordinary powers.

But in fact, there is no research on science.

So I thought that Xu Lei's operations were indeed learned from the powerful Taoist monks.

That’s why I thought about following Xu Lei and meeting this enlightened monk!
Maybe you want to ask him for advice on profound and true Buddhist practice?
In addition, Huiming also said that Xu Lei did not have the talent to practice true Buddhism.

Xu Lei estimated that when he first came to Longyuan Temple, Huiming and Wugui might have been secretly observing him in various ways.

But later they discovered that Xu Lei did not have magical powers.

But the various things Xu Lei created on the earth still amazed and confused them.

Therefore, Xu Lei was allowed to pretend to be a holy monk for many years.

It is also understandable why Huiming left suddenly and came back to look for Xu Lei.

That means he really needs the skin of Xu Lei's fake monk to disguise himself.

And anyway, Xu Lei had guessed that Huiming was a true monk with magical powers.

In addition, I have known Xu Lei for more than ten or twenty years.

I still trust Xu Lei's character.

Therefore, there is no need to hide it anymore.

Moreover, Huiming's true Buddhist teachings should make him live longer.

This can be seen from the changes in its appearance over the years.

Therefore, Xu Lei can also achieve success in practice.

You will definitely be able to extend the lifespan of the remaining 9999 lives in your Book of Ten Thousand Lives.

This is what Xu Lei wants.

Therefore, Xu Lei was quite excited at this time.

Finally touched the transcendent.

Although it was said that in the past ten years, the extraordinary person was actually around.

But at that time, who couldn't help himself to see it?
As for what Huiming said, Xu Lei has no talent for cultivation.

Xu Lei was not too panicked.

He believed that he had so many lives on his hands.

There will always be a solution.

"By the way, nephew Huiming, there is one thing that I don't understand."

Xu Lei asked again: "Why do you practice true Buddhism and have to fast for many years, not be close to women, cut off love and love, live in seclusion, and not be involved in cause and effect? ​​Is there anything special about this?"

"Because now, it is actually the age of the end of immortality."

When Huiming heard this, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "It is said that in ancient times, there was an extremely prosperous immortal civilization in our world.

But later, for some unknown reason, the ancient immortal civilization collapsed and disappeared over the years.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is not as good as it was in ancient times, and has become relatively thinner.

Although some cultivation methods are still passed down, it is hundreds of times more difficult to become an immortal or a Buddha than in ancient times.

Worldly ties, such as a loved one in the world who is in trouble, come to us for help?
If we help, it will definitely consume mana!
But in the era of spiritual cultivation with thin spiritual energy, it takes a lot of time to cultivate every bit of mana.

Helping relatives in the world at any time is a waste of spiritual potential.

Therefore, whether you are practicing Taoism or Buddhism, you must become a monk.

You cannot practice at home.

So as not to be consumed by the world.

You must enter a Taoist temple or temple to practice.

And cut off ties with the world.

Eating vegetarian food is for the purity of the body's essence. Eating meat and fish will make the body's essence turbid.

It is not conducive to the practice of Buddhism.

Other rules are basically the same. "

"I see."

Xu Lei suddenly realized: "Is this the age of immortal cultivation and the end of Dharma?"

'It turns out that the world I traveled to and the era I live in now is such an era.

I have nearly 10,000 lives, and if I play it safe, I won't get killed very often.

Not much spent on resurrection.

Then I may have to live for thousands of lives.

Then I may experience many different eras.

If this is the case, then this era of immortal cultivation and the end of Dharma can be regarded as the first era I am experiencing. '

Xu Lei felt that if there really were people who cultivated immortality in ancient times in Earth's history, perhaps they were people like Huiming.

Of course, there is no way to verify this.

However, the world he traveled to now is currently in such an era.

However, it doesn’t matter even if it’s the end of the Dharma era.

Anyway, it can extend the life span of each life, so it is useful to Xu Lei!

Even if you can't live forever, it would be good to change the lifespan of each life from a hundred years to two hundred years.

After all, Xu Lei's life base is tens of thousands!

Although I have used one before.

But there are still nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine left.

For people like Huiming, if their life span is extended by one hundred years through cultivation, it will only increase their life span by one hundred years.

But Xu Lei is different.

He doubled it nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine times!
"By the way, nephew Huiming, you said before that I don't have the talent to practice true Buddhism."

Then, Xu Lei asked directly: "Is it absolutely impossible for people like me to practice?
Is there any way that a person like me, like you, can practice the true Buddha Dharma that involves the extraordinary? "
