This person's arrival seemed to be silent and invisible to everyone, no matter how talented he was, like Li Qiongyu.

Or it could be said that Li Weifeng, who at this moment was endowed with the luck of the Emperor of Man and the luckiest person in the human world, did not even notice the arrival of this person. He did not glance to the side, did not stop, as if he was oblivious to all living beings, so it was difficult for him to see his arrival. Only Qi Wuhuo raised his eyes and saw the majestic luck of the world coming in a mighty way.

He opened his mouth and invited him, saying: "Friends have come from afar, please come in."

The man who pushed open the door and came in was a not very tall man with messy hair, wearing a cloth shirt, barefoot, and covered in dust and looking dishevelled, but his brow was calm, and his eyes showed the composure of someone who had experienced many things.

But it was the golden cicada in front of the Buddha that I had not seen for more than ten years and had never seen again.

I don't know why, but I came here to look for this Taoist priest.

Qi Wuhuo didn't seem surprised. He poured a cup of tea for Jin Chan and invited him to sit down. Jin Chan, who looked calm and more determined than usual, sat in front of the Taoist. They talked in silence for a long time. Jin Chan looked at the older Taoist in front of him and said:

"Master, why don't you ask me where I have been in the past ten years?"

The Taoist replied, "I think you came to find me just to continue our discussion of Taoism, right?"

The monk smiled slightly and said calmly, "No, that's not the case."

"I came here only to tell you about my experience after we separated. The real Dharma and the real Tao do not need to be discussed. Such a real and harmonious existence is naturally manifested in you and me. Why do we need to use the embellishment and skills of words to argue about who is better?"

"Let me talk about what I've been through."

Jin Chan started talking about his experiences.

Back then, after Qi Wuhuo intercepted Jin Chan, they discussed the Three Vehicles of Buddhism. Originally, with Jin Chan's experience and attainments, even Qi Wuhuo would have wanted to refute him in a short period of time. However, Qi Wuhuo at that state had just entered the realm of Yuqing for the first time and became one with the heaven and earth.

So the majestic golden cicada in front of the Buddha was defeated.

A crack appeared in the Buddha's heart.

After that, he ran for tens of thousands of miles, and the anxiety and boredom in his heart finally slowly calmed down.

His experiences are not false, and his Buddhist practice is not fake.

He didn't believe what Qi Wuhuo said.

At least, he didn't completely believe it, but he also couldn't deny that what the Taoist said made sense, so after sitting cross-legged on the top of the mountain for dozens of days, he made a new decision - he wanted to try it himself.

Don't easily accept other people's opinions.

We cannot be complacent and refuse to accept that others are right.

The golden cicada in front of the Buddha should naturally have such a mentality.

So he concealed his own strength and gave up showing off the many magical powers of Buddhism. Instead, he measured the earth with his feet, hid his cultivation, walked in this magnificent era, and experienced the joys and sorrows of ordinary people. Then he dispersed the many embellishments of Buddhism and enlightened them with the simplest Buddhist principles.

He has eliminated evil spirits and made people repent.

He awakened the conscience of a son who wanted to kill his father and mother, and he also brought a child who was bullied by his relatives out of danger.

He has been walking in the world for more than ten years, and has seen the shining side of the minds of countless ordinary people who were previously believed to have no other mysterious powers except chanting scriptures. As a result, he saw the possibility of Buddhism in the minds of ordinary people, and thus knew that Buddhist principles are the core of saving all sentient beings.

Principle is Buddha, not just simple worship.

When talking about these things, the monk's expression was compassionate and gentle, and his eyes shone with the light of humanity, rather than the simple Buddha nature that was above all living things as believed by the Buddhists of this era, nor was it the wildness of the once supreme ancient beast, the golden cicada.

When he talked about Buddhist principles and Dharma lineage.

One of the nine stone tablets naturally glowed, and people discovered blurry words on it. These words removed many mysterious and pretentious things, leaving only simple truths and concepts of cultivation, as well as endless joy.

The once vicious beast, the golden cicada in front of the Buddha, has unknowingly entered the destiny of this world.

The seed of Yuqing began to ripple, stretching its body and branches, as if bearing the weight of the Buddhist Dharma. It was not crushed by the weight, but continued to spread and expand.

People were looking forward to seeing the words that emerged from one of the nine stone tablets being finalized.

But at this moment, he suddenly stopped.

The outstretched branches and leaves came to a standstill.

The eaves of the storage room were raised, and the bronze bells under the eaves had been ringing continuously before, cheering and jumping for joy, but now they became quiet again. The monk finished telling his experience and understanding, and then said:

"I have also proved with my own actions that the mystery of Buddhism does not lie in the rules and precepts of various sects, nor in the chanting of the Buddhas, but in this mysterious principle itself. This principle, even if it is separated from the Buddhas, still has the great power to save all living beings."

"but--"

He paused and said, "I am really curious, and I want to know if Buddhism is like the one in the vast room, with boundless supernatural powers, and can not only save ordinary people, but also save those who have fallen into hell and are the seeds of evil."

The Taoist saw a hint of complacency and self-satisfaction in the eyes of the determined monk.

He knew that the golden cicada in front of the Buddha walked the human world, taught various Dharmas, and saved all living beings. In fact, what he did was not to save all living beings itself, but to test whether his own Dharma was right or wrong. Because it has now been proved that his Dharma does not need to be constrained by the seventeen meridians of Dharma, he is therefore proud and frivolous.

The Taoist spoke for the first time: "What do you want to continue doing?"

The monk said, "Of course I will continue to practice Buddhism!"

He stretched out his palm, put his five fingers together, and faced the sky with this palm. He held the other hand upright in front of him and said, "What I saved before was just the suffering of ordinary kind people. When I saved the people, I still had supreme cultivation, and I had never truly realized the profound meaning of Buddha."

"Now, I will only use this body's cultivation to force myself out, and go to find all the evil people, to save them from suffering."

"The danger of swords and knives has already been seen."

"Now is the time to witness the evilness of human hearts. Let's see if the infinite mystery of my Buddha Dharma can save these evils and prove the immeasurable Buddha Dharma!"

When the black-robed Taoist heard these words and saw the monk's arrogance, he said, "With your realm, you don't need to be like this."

“If not, how can we prove that the Buddha’s teachings are immeasurable?!”

"Fellow Daoist, you are on this trip to test the darkest and most hidden aspects of human nature. You may encounter backlash."

The monk laughed loudly, clasped his hands together, and his eyes were full of determination. Without the slightest hesitation, he said, "If this can allow me to see the limits of Buddhism, then aren't these so-called backlashes also necessary experiences when practicing Buddhism?"

The golden cicada in front of the Buddha forced out its own cultivation and transformed it into a round and flawless relic.

Stay here with Qi Wuhuo for the time being.

Before leaving, the monk asked the Taoist, "Do you think I will regret it?"

"Or will I still practice the immeasurable Dharma with this heart and this action?"

The Taoist just said: "I don't know either, but since you have such a Buddhist heart, it's not wrong to go to the human world to practice it." He raised his head and looked at the destiny of humanity, and said: "Now it is like the sun has just risen, and it is still a long time before it reaches its peak. I will wait here for you to come back."

The golden cicada in front of the Buddha has a firm heart, but it still has the wildness of an ancient beast. It said:

"I will never regret it, and I will never look back."

Qi Wuhuo held the Buddhist relic in his hand, looked at the monk who had forced out all his strength to practice Buddhism, and said, "Well, I will keep this relic for you. Ten years later, when you come back from traveling around the world again, we can talk about it again."

"good!"

"I have three great aspirations for this trip. The worst evils in human nature are greed, killing, and lust."

"Although I have no magical powers, I can still rely on Buddhism and legal principles to change these things."

The monk, who no longer had any cultivation skills, set out on his journey again.

This time, he went to a place where two countries in the world had not yet been unified.

That is the area where conflicts and contradictions in the world today are the most intense.

The remnants of the powerful and wealthy from various countries, the furious and murderous outlaws, the bandits and gangsters, all gathered here. The good and evil of human nature were revealed in a way that had never been seen in any other era. The monk walked step by step and came to a city between the two countries.

He searched for a long time, and finally the monk found the person he wanted to convert.

This is a city ruled by evil people, and the whole city is caught in various whirlpools.

He made a thief who had been stealing for a lifetime give up stealing other people's property.

Let a wicked person who kills and fights give up using force to harm others.

The golden cicada in front of the Buddha felt that the Buddha's teachings were immeasurable, but as the true body of the monster, it also gave rise to great arrogance. He was not trying to change anything, but to use the good and evil of these people as an attempt to prove the immeasurable power of the Buddha's teachings. He completed two great wishes, and finally -

And the monk came to the brothel.

Here are the most attractive women in the country.

She is also the most dangerous woman.

The courtesan, who is incomparably beautiful and gorgeous like a poisonous snake, can sleep with any man who meets her requirements, but she does not want gold, silver, or pearls. After spending a night together, she will cut off one of the man's fingers as a punishment.

Even so, because of her beauty, there are still men willing to become her slave.

The lord of this city only has three fingers left.

The proud monk chose his target.

He wanted to convert this beautiful, gorgeous, and dangerous woman.

…

Time passed slowly. After the monk transformed from the golden cicada in front of the Buddha left, the aura on the stone tablet also dissipated, but it did not take shape after all. The sapling with the Yuqing aura had not yet fully grown, and Qi Wuhuo learned a piece of news.

The reincarnation of Medicine Buddha did not practice Buddhism.

He had grown up and became a filial, serious and kind young man, the same age as Qiu. He chose to follow his parents' expectations, go to school, and carry on the family tradition of farming and reading. He also made an engagement with his childhood sweetheart.

Qi Wuhuo was invited to participate in their engagement.

The elegant master in black robe met the seventeen-year-old reincarnation of Medicine Buddha, who had no memory of his past at all. This was also the desire of Medicine Buddha. However, the Buddha's heart and nature in his childhood seemed to be covered with dust as he grew up. He held the hands of his wife and childhood sweetheart with a gentle expression.

Talking about the future life, with parents and good friends around us, flowers blooming in spring and falling in autumn.

What a wonderful time this is.

My parents are still alive and healthy; I am still young, with blood rushing through my body, bringing seemingly endless strength. Next to me is my wife, my childhood sweetheart. How beautiful it is! The future will be prosperous and beautiful.

It seems that everything is full of hope.

Just like the beginning of life.

People were smiling happily, with happiness from the bottom of their hearts on their faces. The Taoist was watching this outside the door. The reincarnation of Buddha with delicate and gentle eyebrows came over and brought some fruits and snacks to Qi Wuhuo, with a polite look on his face.

When talking about the future, there is light in his eyes.

Qi Wuhuo looked at him and asked, "Where are your Buddhist beads?"

Today's groom was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said, "Are you talking about the Buddhist beads you gave me when you rescued me? They are still here. This is something your lifesaver gave me, so I will never forget it..."

Although that was the case, it took him a long time to find the Buddhist beads.

It was pressed at the bottom of the box, and the Taoist handed it to Qi Wuhuo as a new collection. He handed the beads back to the boy and said, "This was originally yours, and I am just returning it to its original owner."

He drank his tea, congratulated the newlyweds heartily, and then left.

The young man tried to persuade him to stay, "My benefactor, will you sit down for a while?"

The black-robed Taoist paused, and as if following some tacit understanding, he asked gently:

"Do you think this kind of life is happy?"

The boy answered decisively: "It is happiness!"

"My family and friends are around me, my parents are healthy, and I am getting married to my beloved. Everything is so good!"

“There is no greater beauty in life than this!”

Qi Wuhuo smiled and blessed them gently and seriously.

The young man and his wife saw the Taoist off. When they were leaving, they asked the Taoist if he would come again.

Qi Wuhuo paused and replied, "I can't leave the city easily."

"Well, let's wait seventeen years. I will come to see you again in seventeen years."

The young man said seriously:

"I will wait for you, my benefactor!"

They watched the Taoist leave, then turned around and returned to the congratulations of their relatives and friends, and returned to such a happy life.

Qi Wuhuo returned to the city.

The sapling swayed, fresh air rose, and time slowly moved forward.

Qiu and the reincarnation of Medicine Buddha, a young man named Ming, are the same age.

One resolutely headed towards Kyushu.

One of them stays gently in his hometown.

Everyone is right.

The Taoist thought.

He is like Jin Chan who practices Buddhism, like the enterprising Li Weifeng, and like Li Zhai who grows old on the battlefield.

Like you and me in this world.

Every living being with will in this world is walking on his own path. Time passed so quickly. Qi Wuhuo did not use his magical powers to stop the changes in his appearance. Instead, he let his breath flow and grow old with this world.

He looked at the nine steles and the people beneath them with his eyes lowered calmly.

The wind blows across the nine provinces of the world, and I live freely in the mortal world for ten thousand years.

The Taoist's black robe fell down, and his black hair was blown up. When it fell in the wind seventeen years later, it had already turned gray.

The Taoist is fifty-one years old this year.

Ximen Da Chong married his childhood sweetheart.

Naturally, when a child was born, the Taoist priest gave him a name himself, "Leopard".

His name is [Ximen Bao].

There are more and more words on the nine stone tablets.

And this year, Mingxin, who was traveling outside, sent back a special letter.

He said he had found his disciple.

A child who is unfocused and lazy, yet seems to be naturally in tune with the Tao.

The child’s surname is Zhuang.
