Chapter 822: 3. You and I Will Be at ease
Autumn rain at night, carrying desolation, quietly knocking on the eaves,
And slide down with the slanting roof of the old house
Drop by drop, they were shattered on the stone steps in front of the door, which were sheltered from the water, and a desolate white flower bloomed.
The originally quiet room suddenly rang with the sound of chanting scriptures.
The voice clearly did not use any power, but it contained an indescribable magic that could make people calm down.
It was a simple sentence, but when someone else read it, the result would be completely different from when the voice read it.
What others read was words…
That voice was actually reading…
The others were like parrots, reading whatever they saw.
The voice was like a divine hand that had waved away the clouds in the sky. It was like a clear moon hanging in the sky, making people unable to extricate themselves from it.
Within the house, the two wolf demons had their eyes tightly shut. Following the guidance of this voice, it was as if they had been led to a pure land. Their hearts were at peace…Many areas that had not been enlightened were actually loosened.
Outside…
There were still people outside the fence.
The dim light outlined the outline of an ascetic monk.
The ascetic monk’s right hand was in front of him, and his left hand was holding a Buddhist staff. He was wearing straw sandals, and his legs were actually shackled, preventing him from taking too big a step.
He wore a bamboo hat.
At this moment, the rain was falling down along the bamboo hat. Some of it fell directly on the wet mud with some withered grass roots, while some fell on the mottled twelve tin rings of the Buddhist staff that were hanging from all directions.
In this world, any monk who could use a monk staff had the power or reputation recognized by the world to a certain extent.
However, these were exactly what true monks did not need.
A true monk would only ask for results.
Power was just something that could be obtained along the way. Only by relying on it could one go further and see more.
If he had to give up his power to get the right result, then perhaps every real monk would agree without hesitation.
This ascetic monk was like a bronze statue on a rainy night, standing outside the fence, motionless like a mountain.
He met the two wolf demons on the way and was afraid that the demons would harm people, so he followed them all the way.
But now that the wolf demon had entered the mortal’s house and bared its fangs, this ascetic monk should have made a move…
This was his original purpose for coming here.
However, the ascetic monk did not move.
Because he…He was listening to the scriptures.
The scripture wasn’t long. After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he finished reciting it.
The two wolf demons raised their heads and found that the youth who was obviously just an ordinary person was still sitting in the darkness. He was like a brilliant sun, incomparably dazzling.
For some reason…
At this moment, the two demons ‘mental state had already undergone a great change. The evil thoughts that came from the beginning had already tormented the two demons’ hearts.
They lowered their heads and knelt on the ground. Their black hair fell from their temples and rustled with the trembling and torment in their hearts.
In the darkness, gasping sounds could be heard. The two demons were so immersed in the flames of sin that they were unable to extricate themselves from the illusion of hell and the endless sea of bitterness.
They had never thought that just listening to a scripture would cause such a situation.
Da …
Da …
Da …
The sound of light footsteps could be heard, and their hearts were beating with the sound of the footsteps.
Then, the two demons felt a large hand covering their heads.
His large hand gently stroked their hair.
An enlightened voice came from the darkness above, ”
“Do more good deeds.”
These four words were like a life-saving straw that fell in front of the two demons. Only then did they break free from the burning sin.
As the large hand covered their heads, the two demons actually felt inexplicably at ease.
The flames of sin and the illusion of hell were slowly disappearing, and the shaking mind was also slowly calming down.
In this violent tremor, they felt as if their souls had been cleansed. When they opened their eyes, they felt much calmer.
The two female wolf demons knew that they had encountered a powerful being. Although Danone looked like an ordinary human, he was definitely a powerful being.
Thus, the two demons hurriedly kowtowed and bowed before slowly retreating respectfully.
Peace was restored in the room.
Xia Ji sat in Qiu Yu’s house, quietly waiting for Miao Miao’s return.
Soon, he heard footsteps again, the crisp sound of shackles clashing against each other, and the sound of metal rings clashing against each other.
His footsteps were neither fast nor slow, and he soon arrived at the door.
After a moment of silence, there was a knock on the door.
“A monk is passing by here and wants to take shelter from the rain.”
When Xia Ji heard the voice, he felt enlightened.
The Amitabha in his previous life must have encountered the wolf demon, but at that time, Amitabha had not grown up yet. It was impossible for him to deal with the wolf demon with his own ability …
The monk who knocked on the door at this time explained this problem.
It was very likely that this was a Buddhist expert. When he saw the wolf demon on the way, he was afraid of causing trouble, so he followed.
After that, he didn’t know if the ascetic monk had anything to do with the fact that Amitabha Buddha was chosen by the abbot of a large temple.
However, Xia Ji didn’t reply to the ascetic monk’s words.
He understood that the ascetic monk had not come here to take shelter from the rain. He had just heard him recite the scriptures and wanted to see him to see if there was an opportunity to comprehend the Dao.
If you want to avoid the rain, you can enter the house.
However, he could not do so.
Therefore, he didn’t answer. Instead, he sat quietly in front of the bench, concentrating as if he had completely forgotten about the person outside the door.
The ascetic monk only asked once and did not ask a second time. Instead, he took three steps back and stood in the autumn rain, allowing the autumn rain to wash his body.
Two hours later.
The young man’s calm voice finally came from the ordinary thatched cottage.
“You have been standing in the rain. What is your wish?”
The ascetic monk was stunned, but he said frankly, “”The monk has come here to seek the Dao and wants to go inside to shelter from the rain.”
The young man’s voice drifted out from the house. ” The gods have exhausted their lives in order to seek the supreme enlightenment. Some of them have achieved nothing. If you only seek the Great Way with ordinary determination, I think it will be futile. ”
The ascetic monk smiled and suddenly exerted his strength. His right hand was broken in half and fell into the rain.
His expression was neither painful nor painful, as if the body did not belong to him.
Then, he bent down to pick up the broken arm and said softly, “”A monk has already severed one of his arms.”
“Please ask.” A voice came from the house.
The ascetic monk stood in the rain of the night and was silent for a moment before he said word by word, “” My heart has never been able to calm down. I beg you to be at ease for me. ”
“Take out your heart and let me put it on for you,” a voice drifted out of the house.
This voice itself contained endless tranquility.
It was as if everything in the world had settled down.
There was no more noise, only the conversation between the person inside and the person outside.
If it was a normal conversation, this ascetic monk would definitely not care…
However, at this moment, the seemingly simple and strange conversation between the two of them hid endless zen thoughts.
Therefore, the ascetic monk revealed a pained expression and said, “”I’ve been in the mortal world for twenty years. I’ve worked tirelessly and only asked for my heart … But I can’t find it, I can’t find it. ”
An expectant look appeared on his face after he spoke…
Because he had just listened to a scripture, he knew that the person in this room was an expert who was well versed in Buddhism.
With such a fortuitous encounter, it was all destined.
He followed this destiny and this opportunity to ask this question.
After a long time…
Six words slowly came out of the room:
“You and I can rest in peace.”
The ascetic monk was stunned. In the blink of an eye, these six words were like thunder from the nine heavens, heavily bombarding the shackles in his heart.
The dark clouds dispersed and the fog dispersed.
What he couldn’t get in twenty years of the secular world, he had comprehended in one day.
There was nothing more shocking than this.
After a long time…
The ascetic monk knelt on both knees, put his staff aside, and kowtowed piously.”Thank you.”
