Chapter 355: How to leave the world without entering it



Long Er's eyes lit up, and he sniffed and said, "Brother, there is already the aroma of meat."

Li Nianfan smiled slightly and said, "Haha, I smell it too. This is Qilin meat. I think the meat quality should be good."

His tone was full of emotion. This Qilin in disguise was killed by me. I didn't even make a move, and it fell down.

It's hard to imagine that I can have the luck to eat Qilin meat. I don't know what it tastes like.

In this world of cultivating immortals, I have eaten many immortal beasts. Now I can even eat Qilin meat. This wave of crossing is really worth it.

"Don't mess around, I have to plan it carefully. This Qilin is not small, I have to make full use of its meat!"

Li Nianfan reminded him, and then began to plan carefully, "It's a pity that I have no experience in eating Qilin, so I can only slowly explore. However, looking at the meat quality of its whole body, the thigh should be suitable for roasting, and the back should be good for braising. Wow, its tail is very flexible, I think it is suitable for stewing."

The black Qilin lay on the side, his eyes silent, and the tears in his eyes could not stop flowing down.

Beast, beast!

You actually want to share me and eat me.

It has already anticipated its own fate, and it is estimated that it will soon become a dish, no, several dishes... and soup.

I am an elder of the Qilin clan, highly respected, and have lived for countless years. I am born to be the master of the earth. My meat is really not delicious. Please spare me.

Li Nianfan was still planning the name, while Daji stood beside the black Qilin. A golden gourd was hanging around her waist, emitting brilliance.

As Daji's slender jade hands patted the gourd, a mist of light slowly enveloped the black Qilin's head.

The black Qilin's pupils suddenly widened, and deep shock and horror flashed in the depths of his eyes.

It wanted to struggle, but found that it couldn't do it at this time.

"This, this is... a demon-summoning banner?!"

Its heart was filled with shock and despair, and it noticed the golden gourd in Daji's hand.

"It is said that the demon-summoning banner was made by the saint Nüwa using a gourd, but... how did it end up in her hand? Too much, too much! It would be fine if my flesh was eaten, but they even didn't let my consciousness go."

The next moment, a ray of light flew out from its forehead and sank into the golden gourd.

"Although the gourd is different, in the end... I can't escape the fate of being sucked into the gourd." This was the last thought it had when it entered the gourd.

Li Nianfan stood up slowly and said with a smile: "Okay, don't worry about food for the rest of the trip."

"We don't need to." Yun Yiyi looked at Jiesexing and continued to persuade him: "Jiesexing, this is unicorn meat, don't you want to try it? Maybe it will be good for your cultivation. Why do you insist on being a monk?"

Jiesexing put his hands together, "This is the path I have chosen."

Nannan couldn't help but muttered, "Aren't you a Buddha? How did you become a Taoist again?"

"Hahaha..."

Li Nianfan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said, "Tao is just an abstract concept. The way of heaven is impermanent and ruthless, changing in a myriad of ways, embracing everything and floating outside of it. There is no good or evil, no right or wrong, no gratitude or resentment, no joy or sorrow. The way of immortals is Tao, the way of demons is Tao, the way of monsters is Tao, and naturally Buddha is Tao as well."

Everyone's faces moved at the same time, and they felt their brains go blank and clear, as if there was a buzzing sound coming from them, and goose bumps appeared all over their bodies.

Then, all the pores in their bodies opened up instantly, as if they were soaking in a hot spring, and their bodies were warm and indescribably comfortable.

At this moment, their understanding of Taoism soared like a rocket. They were able to look at Taoism from a wise perspective. Before, they only had a vague concept of Taoism and always felt that it was invisible and intangible, but now, they felt that it was much more vivid.

The master is giving us a hint!

"Mr. Li's words are like a wake-up call, which has enlightened the poor monk and benefited him a lot. He is really a wise man." The monk Jiese put his hands together and said respectfully, "Please accept my greetings."

Li Nianfan waved his hands calmly, "Monk Jiese, you are too polite. It was just a casual remark."

He was secretly happy. The profound words were really suitable for showing off. Perhaps this is the charm of chicken soup.

Yun Yiyi bit her lip and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Li, do you think that practicing Buddhism can lead to marriage?"

She naturally knew the weight of Li Nianfan's words. It would be useless for her to persuade Jiesexing, a blockhead, to change his mind. But if Li Nianfan came to persuade, Jiesexing monk would definitely listen no matter how determined he was.

Li Nianfan didn't answer directly, but pondered.

He knew what Yun Yiyi meant, and he was actually quite optimistic about this couple.

Yun Yiyi dared to love and hate. Although she seemed careless along the way, she was always paying attention to Jiesexing. Jiesexing monk probably also had his own ideas. After all, he didn't dare to use Yun Yiyi to refine her heart in the world of mortals, and even tried to avoid talking.

These two people are in true love.

Although Li Nianfan didn't have personal experience with Buddhist practice, he certainly knew a lot about it.

Jiesexing wanted to do this in order to avoid damaging his state of mind. The most feared thing for Buddhist practitioners is the seven emotions and six desires, which can easily damage their spiritual heart, and the consequences are still very serious.

Li Nianfan needs to consider two factors, one is the relationship between the two, and the other is whether it will affect Jiesexing's practice.

This is more complicated.

Yun Yiyi looked at Li Nianfan expectantly, while Jiesexing put his hands together with his eyes slightly closed.

Li Nianfan smiled slightly and said, "Monk Jiesexing, have you ever experienced the eight sufferings of life mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures?"

Jiesexing replied, "I can't avoid them, but I haven't."

Li Nianfan asked again, "Then do you know how the Buddha came?"

"I don't know." Jiesexing's expression became solemn, looking at Li Nianfan, asking for an answer.

Li Nianfan continued, "Buddhism naturally did not come out of thin air, and the Buddha was naturally not the Buddha at the beginning. He experienced nine reincarnations, and it was precisely because he deeply experienced the sufferings of life that he was able to understand the eight sufferings of life and be able to transcend. You have not even experienced the eight sufferings, and you avoid them like a tiger. In the end, you are just inferior. If you don't enter the world, how can you leave it?"

Jiesexing was stunned. He widened his eyes and kept repeating Li Nianfan's words in his mind.

If you don't enter the world, how can you leave it?

Yes, he only knows the eight sufferings of life, but has never experienced them. Everything is just empty talk.

Li Nianfan just reminded him, but he thought more.

Just like ordinary people, why do they believe in Buddhism? Because they are experiencing the eight sufferings of life, they seek liberation, then what about himself?

As a Buddhist, he has not even experienced the Eight Sufferings. His feelings are not as deep as those of ordinary people.

"Amitabha." The face of the Buddhist kept changing. Since he entered Buddhism, his calm and peaceful state of mind, which had been restrained, has experienced huge fluctuations.

And gradually, the lake of his heart, like water waves, began to set off waves, causing a huge uproar.

"Poor monk... I have learned your lesson!" He knelt down on both knees and bowed to Li Nianfan like a monk.

"It's good that you understand."

Li Nianfan breathed a sigh of relief. He did not say it clearly, but used the method of telling stories and chicken soup to remind him that the choice was made by abstinence, and it had nothing to do with him.

Yun Yiyi was full of admiration for Li Nianfan. Look, what is the level? This is the level!

The art of speaking was perfectly performed.

Yun Yiyi said excitedly, "Jiesese, you are going to marry me."

"Buddhism is about to be established, and the demons are rampant. Now is not the time to enter the world." Jiesese did not deny it outright, and continued, "After the establishment of the religion and the extermination of the demons, if you are willing to wait, I will marry you."

Yun Yiyi cheered and raised her hand to rub Jiesese's bald head, "Monk, I will wait for you!"

"Congratulations, Miss Yun, you finally waited for the clouds to clear and the moon to shine." Daji's eyes were full of envy.

She glanced at Li Nianfan with her beautiful eyes, thinking secretly whether she should be bolder like Yun Yiyi.

It's just that... the gap between herself and the young master is really too big. He is as bright and unattainable as the stars in the sky. Alas, it would be nice if she could upgrade from a maid to a bed warmer.

After this episode, the atmosphere among the crowd became more harmonious and cheerful, and unicorn meat naturally became the best choice for celebration.

Everyone had a unicorn banquet, from braised unicorn meat, to stir-fried unicorn liver, to stewed unicorn tail, the richness was incomparable, and the deliciousness was naturally needless to say.

Along the way, there were no more accidents. Li Nianfan was bored, and he took out the golden stone and rubbed it in his palm.
