Chapter 756 Shariputra Temporarily
In the void, Li Qi and Shariputra met the legendary Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Li Qi took the lead and took a step forward. He had many questions that he wanted to ask Ksitigarbha. Now that they were destined to meet him, he wanted to ask him even if he owed another cause and effect.
But at this time, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva spoke up in advance and cut off Li Qi's words before Li Qi opened his mouth.
He said: "Master Li Qi, since you have great wisdom comparable to Shariputra, you can now see through cause and effect, know one part and understand the whole picture. Although your knowledge is still insufficient, in terms of your practice, this matter has nothing to do with it. People know more than you, and even you don’t understand things. I haven’t achieved Buddhahood yet, and I still have worries that I can’t let go of. How can I know things that even you don’t know?”
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva clasped his hands together and blocked Li Qi's words in advance before he could speak.
Li Qi took a step back regretfully. He could understand what the other party meant.
Although wisdom and knowledge are related to a certain extent, they are not absolute.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva may have richer knowledge and deeper experience, but it cannot solve Li Qi's doubts, because Li Qi's doubts may involve some higher-level secrets.
Even he himself couldn't break through the last level and achieve Buddhahood, so how could he tell Li Qi?
Everyone knows that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva made a great wish to never become a Buddha until hell is empty. However, this great wish helped him strengthen his Taoism, but in the end it became his only obstacle.
The only obsession in his heart was to become a Buddha, but it was this obsession that hindered his final enlightenment, making him only a great Bodhisattva until now.
If you want to become a Buddha, you will never achieve it.
Only when you really don’t want to become a Buddha and let go of your last attachment can you truly understand your thoughts.
It's ironic.
Even if I cross the empty hell, I can't let go, I just can't let go.
The obsession in my heart is here, and even a second-grade person cannot escape it.
After Li Qi sighed, he chose to retreat.
After Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva bowed to Shariputra and Li Qi, he used green lotus to guide the souls of innocent people one by one and disappeared in front of them.
This is the daily life of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, constantly guiding, constantly saving, and constantly bearing the cause and effect of all living beings.
As for the reason...he said it was 'compassion'.
Li Qi didn't believe it, but he couldn't give any other reason, so let's leave it at that.
Looking after each other Li Qi, Li Qi and Shariputra looked at each other.
Then, Li Qi said: "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva looks like this..."
Shariputra smiled: "Don't worry, the answers are just different. This may mean that the answer you need from the donor involves a higher nature. He cannot tell you the answer. After telling you the answer, you may get zero marks in your homework." Come on."
The word homework is something that Buddhist practitioners have been exposed to since childhood. Those novice novices basically have to do homework and take assessments every day, but they still have to be slapped on the hand.
Li Qi nodded, he knew what Shariputra meant.
It's like an answer sheet that must be filled with answers.
A test paper that requires full answers is scored 0 points, and a test paper that is scored full marks is actually the same difficulty.
But with the same difficulty, the results are different.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva knows this very well, so he will not tell Li Qi this, even if Li Qi just wants to use it as material.
"I know, but...that's all, now that the purification method has been clarified, Shariputra, what are you going to do next?" Li Qi looked at Shariputra who had made a breakthrough and asked.
"Well...if I want to, I will try to go to the middle of the human-witch war." Shariputra said.
"You want to join the war?" Li Qi frowned.
If Shariputra participated in the war, could it mean that Buddhism wanted to get involved? But... it seems that Buddhism has been interfering in the past, but this time it is no longer pretending?
"It's not to join the war, but to protect the innocent. In the war between humans and witches, both humans and witches have no mercy for the weak. There are too many innocent casualties, and there are more humane methods of extracting the world, and the blood sacrifices of witches. I may not be able to save them. Although I can save many people, I can save many people." Shariputra said: "Now that I am in the fourth level, I have the ability, so I should do this."
"What's the use? If you want to preach, there are many worlds outside the territory that are in war. It's not just the war between humans and witches. What's the difference between saving them and saving the world in the war between humans and witches? What?" Li Qi asked.
Yeah, what's the difference? Is there any distinction between those who died in the war and those who died in other places?
"Yes, precisely because there is no difference, donor, do you want to make a difference?" Shariputra asked.
Li Qi was speechless.
Yes, since there is no difference, then of course you can go anywhere, and you don’t need to care where you go.
"This is Mahayana Buddhism." Li Qi sighed. It is indeed much stronger than the Buddha and Demon dual cultivation sect.
The Mahayana sect emphasizes the equality of all living beings and universal compassion. It hopes that all living beings will be Buddhas and emphasizes "self-benefit, altruism, and benefit to all sentient beings."
Things in the world are like a boundless sea of suffering, and the great "vehicle" refers to the "carriage" that can carry all living beings through the sea of suffering.
In the same way, the Hinayana is meant to "carry oneself" and only save oneself, while the Mahayana is to save all sentient beings.
"Then, donor, farewell. I hope this good cause today will have a good cause and eventually produce good results." Shariputra bowed slightly, and then his body transformed into Buddha's light and disappeared.
Li Qi watched the other party leave.
How should I put it? After seeing Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Shariputra with my own eyes, Li Qi seemed to feel the superiority of young people again.
Just talking about becoming a Buddha, young people probably have a huge advantage in this regard, because young people do not have obstacles entrenched in their minds, because they do not have so much experience.
The simpler it is, the easier it is to become a Buddha.
Like Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who is trapped by himself, may not be as fast as Shariputra in becoming a Buddha.
Shariputra is also very powerful...
Fighting with the Demon Prince, he did not hesitate to throw himself into the reincarnation, broke and then stood up, and used the secondary demon as a sharpening to break out of the cocoon and be reborn, achieving the fourth grade, using the demon thought as the Buddha's heart, but completely separating the Buddha's heart and the demon thought, and not being affected by it. This kind of courage is stronger than Li Qi.
If you ask Li Qi to go to the belly of the secondary demon, Li Qi will definitely not be willing.
Problems, idiots go.
Of course, this does not mean that Shariputra is an idiot, understand the spirit.
Shaking his head, Li Qi turned around and came to Shen Shuibi's side in an instant.
The rabbit was still floating in the void, but he did not fall into a daze, but looked at Li Qi.
The rabbit immediately came up and said, "Is it solved?"
"Yes, it's solved, and I also saw Senior Yao Wanchi, he also took action. Did you hear the sound just now?" Li Qi asked the rabbit.
"I heard it, and I was deeply touched. I think... I am a big step closer to the fourth rank. I have found some clues to what Baichen Fox King Bodhisattva said before, but I don't know what is missing." Shen Shuibi said so.
Her expression looked much more relaxed. It was obvious that the "reminders" given by Baichen Fox King Bodhisattva, coupled with the shocking sound that Yao Wanchijie had previously emitted, seemed to have given her a lot of inspiration.
"Then think about it slowly. We still have time. This matter is over. Oh... it should be fine, right?" Li Qi said.
"It should be fine, then... let's go home?" The rabbit suggested.
"Of course, go home!" Li Qi laughed. Now the matter was settled. Both he and the rabbit benefited a lot and could finally go back.
Li Qi summoned the magic and returned to Tianxia again.
I hope this time, I can have a peaceful time, and have a peaceful last few holidays.
————————————
Li Qi and Shen Shuibi returned to Tianxia again.
Finally, they returned to the daily life where both of them could spend their days leisurely.
The little rabbit Li Shiwei went to the East China Sea. I hope she can make a name for herself outside.
As for Li Qi and his wife...
After returning home, Li Qi went to greet Niu Huang. It seemed that Niu Huang wanted something new, so he made a big renovation outside Xuanjing Mountain.
Mountains and rivers shifted, rivers changed their courses, and various biological populations also changed greatly. Even various new species, new monsters, and new sects were introduced.
How to say it...
Xuanjing Mountain was like a new expansion pack, and suddenly there were many new ways to play and new forces.
Li Qi was very confused, so he went to Niu Huang to ask about the situation.
However, Li Qi needs to ask, but Shen Shuibi doesn't.
Rabbit knows that it must be because when Li Qi came back hundreds of years ago, he casually said: "It hasn't changed in so many years."
Li Qi must have said it casually. He finally came home and sighed, but Niu Huang heard it, so as a mountain god, he hurried to make changes.
There are quite a lot of such things, but let them go, I want to go back.
On the way back to the cave, she began to recall what she had done recently.
Over the years, Rabbit has never had a sense of existence, and can even be said to be "little transparent".
However, this is exactly her favorite state. She has said countless times before that her sense of existence was very low when she was in Luofu Mountain. For thousands of years, even some monks in Luofu Mountain didn't know that there was such a person in their own mountain gate.
The time when she and Li Qi went to find the empress together and went to Wushen Mountain together was actually a rare highlight in her life. Before that, she was a socially anxious otaku rabbit, with a sense of existence so thin that it was almost non-existent. For thousands of years, she had been immersed in her own world, and few people knew about it.
Now married to Li Qi, after some troubled times, now settled down, finally returned to this kind of daily life that she particularly likes a few years ago.
But... now that she has just returned, she feels a little...
Well, how to say it, is it that she is not very adaptable?
Originally, this kind of squatting at home doing her own things was her favorite rhythm of life. She could do all the things she liked in this soothing rhythm, everything was as she pleased.
But now that she is back and sitting here alone, she can't calm down.
Is it a problem of mentality? Shen Shuibi was a little confused.
Her cultivation has made a slight breakthrough. The reminder of Baichen Fox King Bodhisattva, coupled with her personal listening to the shocking original sound emitted by a second-grade Guixu, has made her make new progress on the road to finding "Chenji", but now she is stuck on some small problems, but it doesn't matter, there is plenty of time in the future.
After examining her heart, she found that it was not a problem of cultivation mentality. She was not in a hurry to break through the fourth grade.
Then why... can't she sit down?
Suddenly, Shen Shuibi realized that she had started pacing in the room. Not to mention others, even she herself would think, 'This woman is so impatient, is she about to give birth? 'a feeling of.
Realizing that something was not right about her behavior, she forced herself to find a place to sit down.
Could this uneasy feeling be a sixth sense?
Something bad is going to happen?
But I am not a shaman, and I do not have the ability to connect with the great source of heaven and earth. Taoist practice emphasizes an 'alone self' and requires complete detachment. How can I have a sense of being connected to the outside world?
That……
I can only say that this feeling comes from my heart.
Does it come from within?
Rabbit closed his eyes and began to examine his thoughts.
The fifth grade can indeed do this, then examine every 'thought' of her own. How many thoughts and emotions she has had, every bit and every point can be pulled out and examined one by one.
Well... the day before, I had a total of forty-six thousand, five hundred and thirty-two thoughts.
Most of them were thinking about Chenji, excluding thirty-six thousand.
Of the remaining 10,532 thoughts, about 500 are distracting thoughts, all kinds of ridiculous thoughts that come up when you are bored, get rid of them.
Shen Shuibi began to examine the next ten thousand and several thoughts one by one, looking for which thought made her so irritable and restless.
She rummaged through them one by one.
Most of these thoughts are related to Li Qi and Li Shiwei.
He was guessing what Li Shiwei was doing, and deducing the little bastard's current safety when he had nothing to worry about.
Fortunately, everything was fine. If there was a bad omen, she would probably break through the ghost gate and rush to the child immediately.
Excluding the ones about Li Shiwei, there are still more than 3,000.
Um? Unknowingly, her thoughts about Li Qi were not as high as those of Li Shiwei?
Moreover, did the irritable thoughts come from Li Qi?
Shen Shuibi was a little confused and continued to search through these thoughts to see what made her restless.
About an hour had passed since she started searching for ideas.
At this time, Li Qi and Niuhuang were almost done inspecting Xuanjing Mountain. Li Qi sent Niuhuang away dumbfounded, and then returned home.
"What's wrong?" As soon as Li Qi came back, he saw Rabbit burying his head in his thoughts.
Isn't this what kids do? Just like the fingers.
But the rabbit suddenly raised his head.
The moment Li Qi came back, more than a thousand thoughts disappeared, and the upset feeling disappeared.
Well...she knew where those thoughts were coming from.
So, the rabbit stood up and said with a smile: "It's nothing."
