Chapter 3688

At this point, Xiao Hua honestly admitted, "Moreover, this junior also knows that the Longevity Town isn't a good place. Master Jingyi doesn't dare to let people know that Senior Ci Hang is here.

Therefore, this junior didn't dare to admit it and wanted to cover it up. I was afraid … afraid that senior would kill me to silence me. "

"Hehe …" The monk laughed, "So you're a Daoist cultivator!

Jingyi should've thought of this long ago. "

"This junior also understands Confucian cultivation, so Master Jingyi misunderstood!" Xiao Hua hastily explained.

"Benefactor, don't be afraid. How could this old monk kill you to silence you?

Actually … "The monk sighed and said," If this old monk was Ci Hang, so what if this old monk went to the Longevity Town?

Unfortunately, this old monk's Buddhist name is benevolent, not Ci Hang. That Buddhist fruit isn't this old monk's, so how could this old monk go to the Longevity Town? "

"Ah?

How … how is this possible? "

Xiao Hua was "shocked" to death. He looked at Fairy Jing, who was also shocked, and exclaimed at the same time.

"There was a Buddhist disciple who used this old monk's appearance to do … good deeds in the Longevity Town!" The benevolent Ku Toutuo sighed and said, "It was misunderstood by others!"

"Oh, this junior understands!" Xiao Hua hastily said with a smile, "Just like today's misunderstanding, what a coincidence."

"Today was a misunderstanding, but … the Longevity Town might not be a misunderstanding, and it can't be so coincidental!" The benevolent monk said.

Hearing this, Xiao Hua hastily bowed and said, "Senior Ci Hang, as for whether it's a coincidence or a misunderstanding, this junior doesn't know. This junior definitely won't speak of what happened here. This junior is a Daoist disciple, this … this junior isn't interested in the disputes between immortals and Buddhas."

"Do … do we need to swear a blood oath?" Fairy Jing probed.

"No need!" The benevolent monk said kindly, "This old monk has never forced anyone to swear a blood oath before."

"Okay, this junior guarantees that he won't say a single word!" Xiao Hua solemnly vowed.

Of course, Xiao Hua had to make a solemn vow. He definitely wouldn't say a single word about this matter, because he was the real Ci Hang, a fake Ci Hang. How could he reveal the real Ci Hang, a fake Ci Hang?

Fairy Jing was overjoyed as she said, "This junior is the same. This matter concerns senior's life. This junior definitely wouldn't dare!"

Benevolent Xiang waved his hand and said, "If that's the case, you may leave now!"

"Thank … Thank you, senior!"

Fairy Jing hadn't thought of such a simple ending. She bowed, looked at Xiao Hua, and prepared to leave. But Xiao Hua's starry eyes flashed with a strange expression. He looked at the knife-like marks on the stone wall and said in a low voice, "Senior, you said that you've been in this cave for a thousand years, and you've always been thinking about the relationship between the skin and the sarira. I wonder if you've learned anything? Can you tell me?"

"Oh?

Benefactor Xiao also knows about Buddhism? "Ci Xiang was a little surprised and asked curiously.

Xiao Hua had a humble expression on his face. "This junior has been curious since young. Regardless of whether it is the Daoist Sect, the Confucian Sect, or the Buddhist Sect, I have some understanding of them. Since senior has some insights, this junior is also secretly delighted. I hope to hear it."

"Alright!" A smile appeared on Ci Xiang's face as he said, "Jingyi, Jingkou, wait for the two of you to come in …"

Xiao Hua and Ci Xiang's words weren't hidden from Jingyi and Jingkou. The two of them heard clearly from outside, and their faces were already red. When they heard the call, they thought it was Ci Xiang's scolding. They hurriedly came in and knelt on the ground. "This disciple was careless and caused such trouble. Grandmaster, please punish me."

Unexpectedly, Ci Xiang didn't answer and instead said, "My Buddha has said that the corporeal body is a skin on the outside, easily decaying. Inside, the sarira is a spirit, immortal for ten thousand years …"

When Jingyi and Jingkou heard this, how could they not know that Ci Xiang was lecturing?

They hurriedly sat down cross-legged and closed their eyes to listen carefully.

Xiao Hua hurriedly sat down after seeing this. Similar to Jingyi, he put his palms together and quietly listened to this rare comprehension.

"This old monk thinks that a person is a person. Everything is based on the corporeal body. The corporeal body's influence is truly important, sometimes even more powerful than the sarira.

The corporeal body is the shadow, leaving scars on stone walls. However, the sarira has no light, leaving no traces in the mortal world. The sarira can't leave the corporeal body, and it can't be nourished without the corporeal body … "

Ci Xiang's words drifted in the cave. Those who were fated to hear it were intoxicated, while those who weren't fated to hear it were irritated.

Fairy Jing sat for a moment and saw the joy on Xiao Hua's face. It was even more pronounced than Jingyi and Jingkou's frown. She was delighted. She knew that she didn't understand this, so she quietly flew up from the ground and landed outside the cave. She also sat down cross-legged and comprehended Xiao Hua's teachings in her heart. She stood guard for the four people at the side.

Time flew by, and eighty-one days had passed since Ci Xiang's words. On this day, just as Fairy Jing comprehended the beauty of it, an indescribable smile appeared on her face. The magic power around her quietly surged, and layers of multicolored light began to ripple under her snow-like skin. Suddenly, she heard a thunderclap in the pitch-black cave. It was so deafening that even the deaf could hear it. However, Fairy Jing still didn't frown, because this sound was very strange. It seemed to be extremely loud, yet also extremely soft. It seemed to be in her ears, yet it also seemed to be in her heart. Fairy Jing only felt her body expand, and all of her magic power instantly dissipated.

Then, before Fairy Jing could think again, she saw Buddha's light flourish in the cave. This Buddha's light was different from what Fairy Jing usually saw. Not only did it rush out of the cave, but it even rushed into the mountain. The mountain didn't seem to have anything in it, but it also came out of the mountain. In the blink of an eye, the Buddha's light spread from the middle of the mountain to the top of the mountain. It was as if the entire mountain was filled with Buddha's light.

Then, bursts of Sanskrit chants came from the cave and even the entire mountain, floating in the air and in people's hearts.

In the Buddha's chants and in the Buddha's light, there were tiny images of fairies that were as small as flies, and images of dragons that were even weaker than mosquitoes. Not only did they dance around the cave and the mountain, but they also surged with the Buddha's light toward the capital of the Chanyang Kingdom, enveloping the surroundings.

"Gurgle …" The Buddha's light pierced through the void, and streams of sparkling and translucent silver light fell on the mountain peak. When the Buddha's light on the mountain peak came into contact with the silver light that was invisible to the naked eye, it immediately swelled and gradually formed a humanoid golden body.

"This …" Fairy Jing immediately understood that this was the strange phenomenon caused by the benevolent Venerable Master. She wanted to get up, but in the Buddha's light, her muscles and bones were limp, and she couldn't move at all. Even her mind was drifting.

"Roar …" The strange phenomenon lasted for an hour, and then there was a lion's roar in the cave. The Buddha's light on the mountain, as well as the Buddha's light that rippled for miles, suddenly shrank and disappeared into the cave. In front of Fairy Jing's eyes was still the ordinary cave and the inky darkness.

"Amitabha!"

As a Daoist Yuanying, Fairy Jing couldn't help but chant Buddha's name. She stood up from the ground, and the benevolent voice sounded in the cave again. "Buddha has a saying that a flower is a world, and a leaf is a spring and autumn. We Buddhists are burdened by our physical bodies, and we can't be free for our entire lives. I've cultivated hard for thousands of years, but I still haven't achieved Buddhahood.

I don't have any obsessions in my heart, and I'm even comforted. Senior Brother Cihang from afar almost achieved Buddhahood. Although it's Senior Brother Cihang's merit, it's also my merit. I have no hope of achieving Buddhahood in this life, so I'll wait for the next life. There's always hope, and there's always an end to life.

Everything in the world is arranged by the Buddha. Although I don't know why the Buddha sent Xiao Tanyue to me, I know that I can't remember any merit in my heart, and all cultivation is based on external things. Therefore, I can't not see Tanyue.

Jingyi, Jingkou, do you … understand? "

There was silence in the cave, and no sound could be heard. Fairy Jing shook her head slightly, knowing that Jingyi and Jingkou didn't understand Great Master Ci Xiang's Zen theory.

"Xiao Tanyue …" Great Master Ci Xiang's tone was hesitant, and he probed, "Have you … understood?"

"There's a lamp in the world that illuminates the earth. People see the light, but don't see the lampstand. What's wrong with the lampstand?" Xiao Hua's voice sounded. "There's a lampstand, but there's no light. Who can see the lampstand?

There's no need to have a lampstand, there's no need to have light, but there's light that illuminates the world! "

"Amitabha … Excellent, excellent …" Great Master Ci Xiang chanted Buddha's name and didn't speak again.

After a while, Jingyi and Jingkou accompanied Xiao Hua out of the cave. Fairy Jing's gaze wavered, and the Xiao Hua in her eyes seemed to have changed greatly, but also didn't seem to have changed at all.

"Let's go!" Xiao Hua quietly transmitted his voice. "Great Master Ci Xiang is in seclusion again."

"Alright!"

Fairy Jing transmitted her voice and moved her body, slowly flying down the mountain path. Xiao Hua and the other two respectfully bowed towards the cave and carefully walked down.

After leaving the mountain peak, Xiao Hua bowed and said, "Great masters, please forgive me for offending you!"

Jingyi's face was rather dry. Great Master Ci Xiang's rare lecture, but he and Jingkou didn't get as much as Xiao Hua. They were really disciples of Buddhism in vain. Hearing Xiao Hua's words, he hurriedly put his palms together and said, "Amitabha, there's no need to mention this matter. It's this old monk's fault.

Please, Xiao Tanyue, if you want to see if Xiao Jian or Xiao Jun is lying, just go to the capital city and you'll know. "

"Alright …" Xiao Hua didn't want to go, but looking at Fairy Jing, he felt that there was only one last step left. After hesitating for a while, he agreed.

However, the four of them flew into the capital city of the Single Liang Kingdom and flew out in less than an hour. At this moment, Jingkou was no longer there, and Jingyi was beside him. Xiao Hua had a smile on his face as he bowed and said, "Great Master Jingyi, please return. The doubts in my heart have been resolved. Thank you, great master."

"En, as long as Xiao Tanyue doesn't have any doubts!"

Jingyi smiled and said, "This old monk is an ascetic monk, following the ascetic path of my Buddhism. It's rare for Xiao Jun to be able to participate in the daily practice, which surprised this old monk."

"That's right. To be able to live in a dilapidated palace, to be able to protect Queen Zhiji, and to live in a daily life that's even worse than the ordinary marquises of other kingdoms, this kind of monarch is the fortune of the Single Liang Kingdom!"

Xiao Hua nodded and then took out a huge Qiankun Bag from his sleeve and handed it to Jingyi. He said with a smile, "This Xiao has disturbed your kingdom and also listened to Great Master Ci Xiang's lecture. This is this Xiao's sincerity, please accept it."
