Chapter 216
216 Standing beside the old Taoist priest for a long time, unable to move, a lot of thoughts poured into his mind like rivers flowing into it. Xiang Jiannan's memories did not stop until the Buddha spoke.
During this period of time, he saw hundreds of faces, some happy and some sad, just like when he first opened the "jing" part. The difference was that the owners of the faces this time were the same person, and that person was standing opposite him.
"Disciple, why don't you sit down and rest?"
Noticing Xiang Jiannan's strangeness, Gao Yuan had to move a few inches to the side because of the appearance of the lotus. He waved his hands as if to drive him away.
The entire Ping'an Temple is now in the hands of others. As the master of the temple, I can only be angry.
It seemed that the disciple and the Buddha at the door of the incense hall made eye contact. This situation was very unfavorable for them at the moment.
There was no movement in the pool at the entrance of the temple yet. Gao Yuan had no choice but to wait.
"Amitabha, Taoist, are you looking at me?"
Different from what Gao Yuan saw, as the Buddha in front of the incense hall raised his right hand, Xiang Jiannan saw his expression change. His originally gentle face became angry, and after he finished speaking, it turned into a miserable look.
The monk robe on his body exuded bursts of auspicious light, and his palms naturally made a gesture in the halo: five fingers naturally stretched out with the palms facing outwards. The old Taoist priest who saw it snorted coldly on the spot to express his disdain.
Make the fearlessness seal.
Does this Buddha want to soothe his disciples' hearts? Their Taoism doesn't need this, they have methods to calm the mind.
"Disciple, don't keep staring at him."
Sitting on the ground in a bad mood, Gao Yu'an saw that Xiang Jiannan seemed to have entered a trance state again. Looking at the lotus flowers all over the ground, he spoke to pull him back. His disciple's current behavior was normal. How could a mere third-grade Dao Fruit resist the temptation of Buddha? The reason why he reminded him from time to time was because he was afraid that he would betray him. At this critical juncture, he had to ensure that Xiang Jiannan's position was firm. He seemed to be a little lost. If he continued to look at each other, the result would be hard to say.
"How do you know I'm looking at you if you don't look at me?"
Ignoring the old Taoist's words, although his eyes were dull, his mind was extremely clear. After the Buddha made gestures for a long time, Xiang Jiannan suddenly asked back.
This sudden sentence gave the old Taoist a boost of confidence, and he wanted to struggle up from the ground while speaking.
Is this to argue with the Buddha? After all these years, this is the first time I feel that my efforts have not been in vain.
"It seems like I'm not really looking at you. In your eyes, can you tell who I am?"
His expression changed from miserable to calm, the auspicious light on his body dissipated, and the right hand on the Buddha's chest also dropped down. When he spoke, Xiang Jiannan had a very strange feeling, as if the gesture he had made before was for him.
“You are the Buddha.”
He reached out to help the old Taoist priest. He had already used the previous sentence to perfection before he traveled through time. Xiang Jiannan was not as wise as Gao Yuan thought.
He could still accept the current situation. It was just a waste of words and there was no need to do anything else. It would be even better if he could get rid of the giant Buddha in front of him. It was definitely not a solution to keep wasting time like this.
The master probably doesn't have the strength to fight again at the moment. In front of the Buddha, the old Taoist priest has long lost his former invincibility. Things have changed, and today, it is his turn to be crushed by others.
"You see, I am a Buddha, and you are also a Buddha."
“All living beings are Buddhas.”
After Xiang Jiannan finished speaking, he smiled softly, twisted his thumb and index finger together, and the other fingers of the Buddha stretched out naturally. The monk's robe on his body showed a tendency to emit auspicious light again, and the second gesture followed closely.
The old Taoist priest, whose arms were disabled, wanted to extend his hands to express his gratitude, but he was unable to do so and could only say:
"Monk, you missed a word. Regardless of whether you are a Buddha or not, my disciple is definitely a Taoist priest."
"You came to my Ping'an Temple in broad daylight to preach. Are the monks of the Great Zhou Dynasty no longer enough for you?"
In anger, he saw the Buddha take a few steps forward, and the lotus flowers in the yard gathered at his feet.
There was an arch bridge between him and the two Taoists. With every step he took, several lotus flowers would fall and disappear into the soil once they hit the ground. As the Buddha got closer, Xiang Jiannan's mood became more and more peaceful.
It is said that people will become insane under great pressure. Although the Buddha's steps looked soft, every time he took a step, it felt like a thousand-pound stone was pressing down on his heart.
Escape is impossible.
Roar~~~ Seeing the Buddha slowly approaching and about to walk down the arch bridge, not knowing why he came closer this time, Xiang Jiannan turned his head and wanted to encourage each other with his master.
But as soon as I turned my head, I heard a roar coming from outside the temple. The sound was so loud that I couldn't stand for a moment, and I fell to my knees on the ground with a thud.
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
Suddenly his knees hurt when he landed on the ground. When he was about to get up, Buddha had come to his side. The two of them stared at each other until Gao Yuan shouted from behind, breaking the awkward situation.
“If you stray, you will find the way back.”
"Disciple, why don't you get up quickly!"
Roar~~~ Another roar that resounded through the heavens and the earth. Xiang Jiannan hurriedly stood up from the ground but was unable to stand still for a moment. He felt that the entire Ping'an Temple was shaking.
He looked back sideways, his body just touching the Buddha, but he saw the old Taoist suddenly fly over, use his legs to push him in another direction, and stand up again from the ground, but saw that the Buddha who had stayed for a long time had turned into a beam of light, heading straight to the north, followed by lotus flowers.
What's going on! The tiles in the air can be seen for a long time without falling to the ground. Turning his head to look at Gao Yu'an, Xiang Jiannan thought of the stinking ditch in his heart. The current situation is automatic without wind. His intuition tells him that something more powerful has come out. He only saw the old Taoist priest rushing to the top of the wall after a few breaths. Before jumping down, he turned back and said to himself: "Run quickly, we can't stay in this Taoist temple any longer!"
"Do you have any objections?"
When Xiang Jiannan and Gao Yu'an left Ping'an Temple, Lord Wang stopped writing in front of Li Si, passed what he had written to everyone, and halfway through a question he looked up into the air, then turned towards the direction of the capital.
The sudden feeling of dizziness made him feel uncomfortable, and he then ordered someone to take the letter that was passed back to him away.
The flood was successfully controlled and he should have returned to Beijing to report, but he was persuaded by Li Si and stayed here for another night and sent the Taoist priest from Ping'an Temple back tomorrow.
After the old Taoist priest left, they did not ask Qing Jiao anything. The scholar was very aloof and spoke very little, and did not give face to anyone at all.
He was free to come and go in the base camp. If Li Si hadn't stopped him, he wouldn't have been able to leave so easily.
"Lord Li, when do we set off?"
Seeing that a group of officials had finished their work and came forward from the side, Wang Yihang asked again. Li Si was silent for a long time, and soon made a gesture to him.
Exactly the same as when Gao Yuan was in the tent, with one finger of his right hand raised, representing the word "one".
