Translator: 549690339
Xiao Xi hurriedly explained, ” No, no. This is Great Shang’s Seventh Prince. Ancestor Xian ‘er asked me to bring him here. ”
“How could this be…
Xiao Xi waved the secret letter. ” Alright, I have a secret letter from Ancestor
Xian ‘er. I won’t talk to you anymore. I’m going to look for Ancestor Huixin. ”
Xia Ji followed her into the fox village. There weren’t many foxes, but at a glance, there were at least a few thousand of them, all of which had transformed.
Along the way, the vixens who had turned into handsome men and beautiful women all ran over to look at him curiously. The handsome men and vixens were fine, but the beautiful women and vixens would throw flirtatious glances at him from time to time. Some of them even ran out to ask which family this handsome young man was from. Some of them were even bold enough to directly throw flirtatious glances at him from the opposite side and ask coquettishly, ” Is Langjun free tonight? ‘
Most foxes would not become Dao companions with each other. Instead, they wanted to find a good person to spend the rest of their lives with.
Demons themselves felt that humans were the leader of all spirits, and demons were naturally inferior to humans, so they worked hard to cultivate into humans. After becoming a human, they only wanted to truly integrate into human society and understand good and evil etiquette, so they studied hard.
Soon.
Xiao Xi had already brought Xia Ji to a large courtyard. She ran in to hand over Hu Xian Er’s letter before coming out and saying, “Your Highness, Old Ancestor
Huixin invites you in.”
Xia Ji walked into the house. The scene was very different from what he had imagined.
It was a beautiful nun.
The female nun was wearing a gray frock and a white gauze robe. She was reading scriptures with a green lamp.
When she saw him, the nun looked up at him and stood up with a smile.
Then, she walked straight to Xia Ji. When she was in front of him, the nun didn’t stop. She walked around Xia Ji three times, and when she was done, she sat back in front of the coffee table and said, “”lf Your Highness can say a word, this poor nun will take off her gauze clothes.”
Obviously, this fox was obsessed with Buddhism and was actually trying to meditate on him.
Zen has no beginning, no end, no logic.
These three could be said to be the three poisons of greed, anger, and obsession. They could also be said to be the three Dharma seals. They could be said to be everything, but they could also be said to be nothing. They could be said to be one thing that could not be hit. Since they could not be hit, how could they break the Zen?
The beautiful nun looked at this prince. She had already learned of his existence from the tree demon of the nine peaks of Meru.
However, she was still rather puzzled.
It would be normal if the old monk or a mighty figure was proficient in Zen.
However, this prince was only seventeen years old. Even if he had great wisdom and experience, he was still limited by his age. How could he be described as divine by the tree demon? How could he be described as ” spotless and very buddha “?
Therefore, she was not convinced of this prince, which was why she had come up with this question. If it was just an ordinary person with an undeserved reputation, she would not be polite. Even if there was a letter from Hu Xian Er, she would not bring this prince to see the important collection of the White Fox clan.
However, there was no solution to this problem.
Because this was not a question at all.
It didn’t matter why he had to go around three times, nor did it matter if he had to untie the gauze dress.
The important thing was that the answer was in the heart, and the heart was fickle. No matter what he guessed, it would be wrong. If it was wrong, it would be a failure.
However, the young prince also smiled and said softly, “”1 already know the correct answer.”
The beautiful nun was stunned for a moment before she said seriously, “Please show me, Your Highness.”
Xia Ji used his dhyana technique and stretched out his index finger, which was filled with dhyana. He said lightly, ‘”‘This is it.”
The beautiful nun looked at his finger and was stunned at first. Then, her expression changed.
All of a sudden, she felt that the finger was filled with a myriad of scenes. All her thoughts had turned into scenes that were presented on the finger.
That finger was like a heart that was ever-changing, and it was also like the birth and death of millions of living beings.
With another thought, the finger turned into clouds and mist in the mountains, returning to the bird of exhaustion.
The next thought was like a thousand stacks of scriptures under a lamp, a hundred years of lonely shadow…
In that short moment of shock, all of his thoughts, even his hundred years of hard thinking, fell on that finger.
Then, the finger bent down again. It was gone.
All the techniques returned to one, and all the answers returned to this one.
Therefore, the reason why she had to turn around three times and why she had to take off her gauze clothes was all attributed to this.
However, this wasn’t the end. Because he had returned to nothingness, he flicked his finger.
Xia Ji had already answered this question.
If it was an ordinary person, they definitely wouldn’t be able to understand it, but this nun in front of him was a fox who was truly obsessed with the Zen Sutra.
If she hadn’t made any progress, then this finger could help her get lost.
If she had been enlightened, she would naturally understand his answer.
When the beautiful nun saw that finger bend down, she felt that everything in front of her had disappeared. She only felt her heart tremble and her head was still buzzing.
At this moment, she only felt like a mute eating honey. The sweetness was in her heart, but she couldn’t say it. She clearly understood something, but she couldn’t grasp it.
“Did I get it right?” Xia Ji asked.
The beautiful nun suddenly woke up. After a long silence, she said respectfully, “Ask for instructions. ”
Xia Ji stretched out his index finger again and bent it down. ” Alright. ‘
The beautiful nun looked at him in silence. After a long time, the smile and charm on her face disappeared. What was left was respect. She put her hands together and looked devout.
“Your Highness is indeed a walking Buddha. However, the Buddha’s words seem to have enlightened the wise mind, but I can’t grasp the main points.” “Then let’s take a look.”
“Are you reading scriptures? I’ve read the scriptures for a hundred years … It seems that your understanding is not thorough enough, right?”
Xia Ji walked to the window and pushed it open with both hands. The moon was bright outside the window, and he waved. “Come here.”
A strange feeling rose in the heart of this ancestor of the Northern Fox clan.
She had already lived for several hundred years, and all she saw in the Fox clan were her foxes and foxes. And who among them did not treat her with respect?
However, at this moment, facing this human prince who was only seventeen, she actually felt that she was very young.
It was as if many years ago, the monk in his memory had pushed open the wooden window covered in snow and smiled at the little fox who was quietly listening to the scriptures.
She was that little fox.
And now, it felt exactly the same.
She was actually a little excited as she obediently walked to Xia Ji’s side.
Xia Ji pointed at the moon. ” Look. ”
The old fox ancestor of the Northern Lands looked in the direction of his finger. It was a bright moon that hung high in the sky like an ice wheel that illuminated the world. It emitted a bright glow, so much so that it occupied all eyes.
“The moon is very beautiful,” said the old fox ancestor.
“You’ve already seen it,” Xia Ji said with a smile.
The old fox ancestor of the Northern Lands was stunned.
Since you know that the moon is in the sky, ” Xia Ji continued, ” why are you looking at my finger pointing at the sky? ” The scripture is the finger, and what you want is this bright moon.”
The eyes of the old fox from the Northern Lands widened. Her words seemed to have enlightened her. She felt as if all her accumulations were collapsing from the inside out. But it was precisely because of this collapse that she realized that the knowledge that she had been obsessed with and hoped to use as a path to enlightenment was actually a mountain that covered her eyes. Now, the mountain had shattered with a single point of the prince’s finger. She looked up at the sky and finally saw the bright moon.
Xia Ji saw that she was in a daze, so he found a place to sit down and quietly carved the prayer beads. Before three months, he would carve as many as he could. He would not let go of any chance to increase his trump card.
108 worries, 1,008 Dharma Realms, 3,000 worlds…
He firmly believed that these numbers left behind by the Buddhist Sect had a special hint, and that each number was a qualitative leap. One hundred and eight prayer beads could turn into Buddha’s hand, so what would the next one thousand and eighty prayer beads bring? What would the next three thousand prayer beads bring?
Although he could not use magic tools too continuously, what if he made more?
His mind was filled with thoughts, but his entire person was extremely quiet. The only sound left in the stone house was the sound of his steady hands rubbing the wood and the sound of the carving knife cutting away the wood shavings.
He blew away the wood shavings on the thirtieth prayer bead and felt a little tired. He looked at the nun again. She was still standing under the moonlight, looking at the moon in a daze.
After a long time…
The nun turned around and respectfully walked to Xia Ji’s side, her palms pressed together.
“Do you understand?” Xia Ji asked.
The nun stretched out a finger and then slowly bent it down.
“Good.” Xia Ji nodded.
“Huixin, please be one of His Highness ‘disciples,” the nun suddenly said.
“I’ve been tainted by karma in the mortal world. I’m not a wise master,” Xia Ji said.
“Huixin was cultivated by a fox. Does Your Highness think that Huixin is not human, so you don’t want to accept him?”
“If you know good and evil, what does it matter if you’re human or not?” Xia Ji asked. How about this, open your mind and listen to me recite a scripture.” The nun nodded.
Xia Ji took out a sutra from the bamboo basket and began to recite it silently. Now, the Buddhist will was completely his own. The Dharma of Buddha was not the original Dharma, but the evil heart of Buddha. It was just that the number of good and evil was just an empty name. If the evil heart was not a kind heart, how could one get true knowledge if one clung to the name?
The old ancestor of the Northern Fox clan relaxed his heart and listened attentively to his chanting.
Once he finished reciting, Huixin had already converted to Xia Ji..
