Chapter 236 Now, I, the humble Taoist priest, will properly instruct you!
Of course,
As a freshwater willow, growing by the Long Sea is already extremely difficult.
In addition, kind-hearted people kept watering it with seawater.
That would be a real disaster!
Even after the kind-hearted person has had their fill of tormenting the plants each time they finish watering them,
We will still give it a glimmer of hope.
But sometimes plants can also sense emotions!
Growing up in such a stifling atmosphere and difficult environment,
Ultimately, this willow tree also failed to survive for more than a hundred years.
Then the process begins again, and the cycle of reincarnation begins!
In his third life, he was reborn as a snow leopard.
But it, which should have been fierce and mighty, became...
Under the influence of Buddhist nature, which is a secondary aspect of Buddhism,
Eating flesh and blood will cause a violent physiological reaction!
It eventually became a herbivorous leopard.
He was ridiculed by his clansmen all day long.
However, in order to survive
He still has to eat blood every now and then, enduring painful physical reactions.
Living a life that's neither fish nor fowl, it's still incredibly torturous!
The fourth generation,
He was a human ox!
I had a carefree childhood, and when I reached working age, I worked diligently my whole life.
After it died, its owner stewed it in a pot, which can be considered its final act of self-sacrifice.
This was the most peaceful of Jin Chanzi's lives, yet also the most perplexing for him.
As an ox, he often stared blankly at the starry sky.
Reflect on the profound question, "Who am I?"
The torment of his previous three lives had diluted the remaining influence of Buddhism in his soul to the point that it was difficult to affect this life!
The fifth generation,
He was reincarnated as a golden-winged bird.
However, due to the conflict between Buddhist karma and the origin of spirits, his feathers grew unevenly.
It flew crookedly, and was mercilessly rejected by its own kind.
At the end of each lifetime,
The mysteries of the womb are briefly touched upon.
Jin Chanzi will regain a moment of memory.
Then, once again, I watched helplessly as I was "arranged" into the next cycle of spirit reincarnation.
By the sixth generation,
He had become somewhat numb.
In this life, he is an old tortoise.
They lay on the riverbank basking in the sun for three hundred years!
If it weren't for the kind help of the underworld officials, I could have lived for tens of thousands of years without any problem!
"Can't I just be a human being again?"
At the end of the sixth generation,
Jin Chanzi's soul continued to protest in the underworld.
The ghost messenger in charge of reincarnation picked his ear:
"Rules are rules."
You are the origin of spirits and monsters, so you have to suffer this!
but..."
The ghost messenger flipped through the booklet and continued speaking.
"Don't say that we in the underworld are too heartless."
In your next life, we can arrange for you to be close to people—
On Flower and Fruit Mountain, next to a stone that can express its own thoughts...
How are the monkeys?
"Flower and Fruit Mountain?"
Jin Chanzi's heart stirred.
"Is there a Chaos Immortal Stone there?"
"Wow, you're pretty well-informed."
The ghost messenger raised an eyebrow and narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself,
The Heavenly Emperor was right after all; those Buddhists had no good intentions!
They actually dared to try and steal things from my underworld!
"That's right, there's a big rock on the mountaintop."
In recent years, a Taoist priest in blue robes has been going there and talking to the stone.
"He sits there all day long, it's really strange."
Jin Chanzi's soul became unusually excited:
"Wow!"
Although he couldn't quite remember...
But subconsciously, I had a vague feeling that there might be some kind of opportunity there.
......
Huaguo Mountain, its 700th anniversary.
For seven hundred years, Tongtian communicated with the stone almost without interruption, sharing the vast amount of knowledge he had accumulated with it.
The stones also started with an initial input of 10 and an output of 9.9999999999.
By this point, the communication between Tongtian and Shitou's consciousness had become quite smooth.
Although they still cannot truly have a dialogue.
However, through the changes in golden light and the connection of divine sense, they were already able to understand each other's basic intentions.
Today I will teach you "listening to the sword".
Tongtian sat with his eyes closed and spoke softly:
"Listen not with your ears, but with your heart."
Swords have their own language, and everything has its own voice.
The wind rustling through the mountains and forests is the murmur of a sword; the flowing water striking the rocks is the cry of a sword.
Even a falling leaf carries the essence of swordsmanship.
The stone's golden light flowed calmly, indicating that it was listening attentively.
"Concentrate and feel the rhythm of this mountain!"
Tongtian continued to provide guidance.
"You need to feel it with your whole being."
Mountains breathe, the earth pulses, it pulsates...
Find that rhythm, and your sword will merge with heaven and earth, becoming a part of nature!
After a long time,
A smiling face pattern appeared on the surface of the stone.
Upon seeing this, Tongtian also laughed:
"It seems you've found it."
Very good. This level took Duobao three years and Jinling five years back then.
You only used twelve hours.
"His comprehension is truly phenomenal!"
Upon hearing Tongtian's praise, the golden light leaped with joy.
Like a child who has been praised.
Tongtian's eyes were gentle:
"Although you have not yet been born, you are already my true disciple."
One day, you will leave this stone.
Go and experience your own story.
At that time, remember one thing your teacher said—
At this point, golden light condensed and transformed into a shape that seemed to reach the heavens and listen intently.
"Whether others call you a demon, an immortal, a Buddha, or whatever..."
You are first and foremost yourself.
Tongtian said, word by word,
"Your sword is wielded only for the path in your heart."
The stone fell silent.
The golden light slowly rotated, its condensed shape resembling a frown, as if it were digesting the weight of Tongtian's words.
At this time,
A small monkey with golden fur, looking quite extraordinary, jumped down from the tree.
Curious, he approached the stone and tilted his head to examine Tongtian.
Tongtian glanced at the monkey but didn't pay it any mind.
After all, during his time on Flower Fruit Mountain, monkeys would often come up to join in the fun.
However, they all left after a while!
But just as he looked away, a faint golden light flashed in the monkey's eyes.
"Squeak!"
The monkey suddenly cried out, gesturing with its front paws to indicate its name.
It's like imitating a sword move.
Tongtian caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye and was slightly taken aback.
Look closely at the monkey.
Immediately afterwards, a very subtle Buddhist aura was detected—
Although it was enveloped by layers of demonic essence, and had even been cleansed multiple times by reincarnation,
But even with Tongtian's careful investigation, he was still able to discover it!
"Jin Chanzi?" Tongtian raised an eyebrow.
"Fellow Daoist Tianqi, how did you end up here?!"
Could it be that my subordinates are incompetent?!
Tongtian narrowed his eyes and began to think.
He was considering whether the appearance of the Golden Cicada was intentional on the part of the underworld.
At the same time, he was also considering whether to just kill the monkey in front of him and send him into reincarnation sooner!
The monkey froze the moment it heard the title "Golden Cicada."
Although I still don't quite understand what's going on,
But his self-awareness told him,
"Run!"
He immediately turned to run, but was instantly frozen in place by a domineering force.
The monkey was instantly paralyzed.
Only his eyes were darting around in terror!
Not long after the monkey was immobilized, Tongtian had already made his decision!
"Since you've been assigned here, you might as well listen to the lecture along with this stone!"
"Your previous teacher didn't teach you well, so now I, the humble Taoist priest, will teach you properly!"
Tongtian's lips curled slightly as he spoke calmly.
