lord of all phenomena

Chapter 83

Ku Xuan has been in Fengqi Temple for more than 43 years. He has white hair and eyebrows, and only wears a green robe on weekdays.When he entered the temple, he did not have a teacher, nor was he included in the seniority of Fengqi Temple. He was only a serving monk.

For the first 40 years, they only did some chores such as lighting fires, carrying water, chopping firewood, watering the ground and growing vegetables.It wasn't until three years ago that a group of robbers entered the temple, putting the lives of the monks on the line, and Ku Xuan shot and drove the robbers away.

Since then, Kuxuan has been enshrined by all the monks, and more than a dozen young monks have thrown themselves at his knees and followed him to practice.And Ku Xuan also takes time out every month to talk about the Buddhism he understands, answering all questions.

He just resigned from the position of abbot.

The monks saw that he had profound Buddhist teachings and refused to be the abbot, so they worshiped him as their patriarch.

On this day, Ku Xuan had just finished speaking about the Dharma, when a Zhike monk brought a wooden carving, which he said was a gift from a young prince, and he insisted on showing it to the patriarch.

The Zhike monk refused, but he agreed in a daze.

When the monks saw the wood carving, they realized that it was a Buddha statue, but it was faintly similar to the patriarch.

But look carefully, the facial features are not the same as those of the patriarch, and the eyes are full of sorrow.Some people find that it is this misery that makes people feel similar to their patriarch.

Ku Xuan took the Buddha statue and didn't say a word, just asked the monk, "What else did the young master say?"

The Zhike monk recalled for a moment, shook his head and said, "He just asked me to send the Buddha statue, and didn't say anything else."

Ku Xuan nodded, and took the Buddha statue back to the meditation room.

He carefully observed the Buddha statue, paced back and forth, and finally confirmed that the Buddha statue was created in an instant. The knife technique is like flowing clouds and flowing water, which completely conforms to the texture of the wood carving itself, but it is also ingenious, and the charm is hidden in it.

Ku Xuan found the same piece of wood and carved it according to the Buddha statue. After a while, a Buddha statue with the same appearance appeared.

But he still sighed, just the same appearance.

In the next two days, Ku Xuan spent an unknown amount of wood, but he was still unable to carve a Buddha statue that satisfied him.His eyes were bloodshot, and he pushed open the door, it was still late at night.

Ku Xuan took the Buddha statue and left to the phoenix forest in the back mountain.

Before entering the forest, he saw a young man sitting cross-legged on a tree.

Ku Xuan heshi said: "Tanyue gave me the Buddha statue, the old monk is very grateful, but the old monk saw that his skills were so itchy, it took two days to carve the same Buddha statue, and I realized that I was beyond my control. I came here tonight to return it Treasure, so as not to be restless all the time."

The young son is naturally Gu Qing, he smiled and said: "If you want to learn, I can teach you."

Ku Xuan shook his head and said, "I can't learn Tanyue's skills."

Gu Qing said: "Then can I ask you to promise me one thing?"

Ku Xuan said: "If Tan Yue wants to obtain the Nine Wonderful Qi, as long as other people agree, the old monk dare not refuse."

Gu Qing smiled lightly and said: "I have worked hard to carve Buddha statues, not for this purpose, I want to be the president."

Ku Xuan sighed and said, "With Tanyue's talent, is a mere president of the Jiuliu Club worthy of your attention?"

Gu Qing said: "I just want to do it, this is what I want."

He paused, and then said: "Buddha said that there are eight sufferings in life, birth, old age, sickness and death, resentment and hatred, parting from love, not getting what you want, and the five Yins are blazing. I think not getting what you want is the most bitter. The master told me not to get what you want, so I have no choice but to let you go to hell. "

Ku Xuan raised his head to look at Gu Qing, and said slowly: "Tan Yue, you are so domineering."

Gu Qing smiled slightly and said, "Master, I'm so stubborn."

Ku Xuandao: "Before the old monk entered Fengqi Temple in 43, he was not actually a monk."

Gu Qing said leisurely: "43 years ago, there was a jade-faced rentu in Yunzhou. Of the three people, 270 of them had a reason to die. Only one person was wronged and wronged. Yumian Rentu later realized that he had killed the wrong person. Unfortunately, people cannot be resurrected after death, so he converted to Buddhism.

But in the past 40 years, there has not been a day without repentance for the sins of that day.Of course, killing the wrong person is only one of the reasons for his repentance. The other reason is that he killed that person by mistake because Yumian Rentu fell in love with a woman. Everything he knew about that person was told by that woman. . 43 years ago, after he mistakenly killed that woman, the woman disappeared without a trace. I didn't let you know his whereabouts until three years ago.

It's just that the woman was a young girl at the time, and when you found her, she was already a corpse that had just died.When you saw her dead body, you were full of resentment, and you could only return to dust.But you have promised to help you find that woman's 'artist' and support him as the president.

You are a trustworthy monk and have never regretted it.But this matter has also become your heart disease. After all, you joined the Jiuliu Society in the past because of your deceased father’s death, and you resisted it in your heart. There is a president, follow his command, I am right. "

Ku Xuan said: "I didn't expect the 'painter' to tell you everything."

Gu Qing said indifferently: "It is because I know about you that I can carve that Buddha statue. Look, his eyes are full of sorrow."

Ku Xuan said: "Don't look at it, the old monk has seen it many times. If I have the ability of Tanyue, I can inject the last trace of repentance and unwillingness in my heart into the Buddha statue. Unfortunately, the old monk can't do it."

Gu Qing said leisurely: "Since you can't do it, you might as well let me help you. In this way, I can get what I ask for, and you can get what you want."

Kuxuan shook his head and said: "The old monk agreed to Tanyue, and he will be sad because he is in the Jiuliu Society. That is a new sorrow."

Gu Qing said lightly: "I said before, you can't make me ask for it."

Ku Xuan sighed softly: "The old monk has passed half his life, and he doesn't want to be forced anymore."

Gu Qing's eyes fell on him, and he said softly: "Then you don't have to be forced in the future."

A dagger appeared in his hand, his figure was erratic, and disappeared into the tree in the blink of an eye.

Ku Xuan had been on guard for a long time, and a small knife appeared in his hand, stabbing towards the void on the left.In an instant, the sky was filled with clear light, and the saber energy swept across the sky, like a net.

Gu Qing happened to appear in the trap.

I saw Gu Qing leisurely and contentedly stabbing the dagger at the void, the clear light disappeared in an instant, the knife aura was silent, and the small knife in Ku Xuan's hand was broken inch by inch.

Ku Xuan had no choice but to push out a palm, and the inner energy of decades of hard work was like a mountain torrent, unstoppable.

But bumping into Gu Qing's body was like hitting an iron wall, and it didn't have any effect at all.

On the contrary, he felt an unstoppable force pouring into his body.

Ku Xuan's eyes turned black, and his throat felt sweet.

Before a mouthful of reverse blood spewed out, Gu Qing slapped Tianling Gai with his palm.

This palm didn't come quickly, but Ku Xuan was already so weak that he couldn't avoid it.

He couldn't help but despair, but there was a sense of relief in his heart.

"This life should have been given back to him 43 years ago."

A palm mercilessly slapped on the top of Ku Xuan's head, and the surging force rushed into his limbs and bones.

Ku Xuan felt that every inch of flesh and blood on his body was washed away, his perception quickly blurred, and he was unconscious.

After an unknown period of time, Ku Xuan woke up.

The morning light was faint and fell on his face.He rubbed his eyes, his mouth and nose were full of fresh air, this is not hell, nor should it be the pure land of bliss, it is still the world.

Looking around, he was sure it was where he was last night.Looking at the bluestone in front, there are finger carvings left.

"Kill you once, save you once, your life is up to me."

Next to the finger carving is the wooden Buddha, Ku Xuan looked over, the wooden Buddha's eyes no longer have any trace of sorrow, the eyes are pure, like a newborn baby.

He has gone through a lot of life and death, and he no longer cares about the past.

Ku Xuan picked up the Buddha statue and kowtowed to his finger.

He then shouted the Buddha's name, and said: "Tanyue eliminates the karma in my heart, and I will pay back the cause and effect, so you won't be denied."

There were several crows in the sycamore forest, which seemed to be a response.
