When Li Sen shook the bell and was teleported out of the Scripture Pavilion by the abbot of the Yuanming Dynasty, it happened to be the morning sun shining outside.
A few birds, babbling on the branches, chirping non-stop.
There was a group of young monks who were chasing a raccoon that had stolen corn and ran over a meadow.
Li Sen, on the other hand, stood in a pavilion on the mountainside.
Looking down from here, you can just see the shape and variety of people on the island.
Abbot Yuanming was standing in the pavilion at this moment, he looked at everything in front of him with a gentle expression, and he looked like a kind old man.
The wind was not strong today, and when the sea breeze blew here from afar, it had already been very warm by the morning sun, and the shadows of the surrounding grass and trees swayed around Li Sen, adding a touch of seclusion.
Li Sen took a deep breath, and he could clearly feel the fragrance of the few bushes of wildflowers under the pavilion between his mouth and nose.
Although it is already summer, it is still in full bloom, and it is very romantic.
For a while, neither Li Sen nor the abbot of Yuanming spoke, but immersed themselves in this idyllic scene.
"I heard that 10,000 years ago, after being expelled from the mainland, hundreds of displaced monks came to this island for the first time.
At that time, it was still a barren place. ” The abbot of Yuanming turned the Buddha beads in his hand, and quietly looked at the innocent and lively little monks, his tone was very light, but it was just right for Li Sen to hear.
"It's barren, but it's a nowhere to live and settle down for the monks.
As soon as the big guys discussed it, they decided to stay here permanently. ” However, without the offerings of many believers and benefactors, it was far more difficult to establish a life than the monks could have imagined.
In the end, more than half of the monks died on the island, and only a small number of stoic monks survived tenaciously on the island.
It is also they who have initially constructed the current pattern of Kuzhu Island. ” When Abbot Yuanming said this, a trace of extremely clear emotion appeared on his face.
"At that time, we had to work extremely hard to live on the island.
And in order to ensure that the inheritance is not broken, we have exhausted all kinds of methods.
However, due to the interference of other sect forces, the effect is pitiful. ” "Maybe it's a fluke, or maybe it's providence.
After the catastrophe of Buddhism 10,000 years ago, the entire human world was plunged into endless wars, all of which were displaced people and crying orphans everywhere.
In the end, we relied on some orphans who were secretly adopted from the mainland, so that the inheritance of Buddhism did not disappear in the end. ” When the abbot said this, he stopped talking.
But Li Sen could clearly feel the deep anger in his tone.
"The decline of Buddhism may be due to religious controversy, or it may be due to a struggle for interests.
After all, as early as 10,000 years ago, the disadvantages of insufficient resources in the human world had already appeared, and the wars in the cultivation realm were continuous, and even if we Buddhism tried our best to avoid it, it would be difficult to escape this catastrophe in the end.
We introspected and examined ourselves, and finally came to a conclusion. ” Abbot Yuanming glanced at Li Sen: "Do you know what the conclusion is?"
Li Sen shook his head.
"The conclusion is simple, so simple that it feels brutal."
"Unlike the Taoist and Confucian schools inherited from the Heavenly Book, our Buddhism did not arise from the human world in the first place, so it can only be said that it is a matter of time before it is rejected as a pagan religion.
Therefore, we should be glad that we have not been eradicated, and we should already be happy after all the slaughter, but how can we have resentment" Abbot Yuanming said these words slowly, while slowly turning the Buddha beads in his hand.
But after Li Sen heard this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
The abbot of Yuanming slowly raised his head and looked at the rising sun in the sky, and then his tone became a little ethereal.
"Master Li Shi, do you think that our idea is too weak to be hated and slaughtered, and after being finally expelled to this desert island, we are glad that we have not been eradicated.
In the whole world, I am afraid there is nothing more ridiculous than this. ” Li Sen was silent.
The abbot of Yuanming said indifferently: "But this is the truth.
The reason is simple, because we don't have the power, so we shouldn't hold on to hatred anymore.
Otherwise, if you have to maintain your hatred, you will not be able to comprehend the true meaning of the Dharma, and you will not be able to advance your cultivation at all. ” "At that time, Buddhism was very weak and needed to be forbearing.
So we forget about hatred, and begin to live quietly, and put on the appearance that we are willing to stay on an island overseas for generations.
But " When Abbot Yuanming said this, his tone suddenly became a little heavier, and his gaze also showed a hint of sharpness for the first time.
He looked at Li Sen, clutched the string of Buddhist beads in his hand tightly with his right hand, and said in a deep voice: "However, this world has always owed us Buddhism a justice, and this is the only thing that we have been Buddhist disciples for generations, and we will never dare to forget that before we seek this justice, it is impossible for our Buddhist forces to truly return to the mainland." ” Hearing this, Li Sen finally took a deep breath.
"Why did the master mention these to Li, and Li thought that after leaving the Scripture Pavilion, the master would ask Li what the results of the scriptures were being observed."
Hearing this, the abbot of Yuanming shook his head slightly.
"The old man just saw the hurt and felt something.
However, what the old man said just now, can Master Li Shi really understand?"
Li Sen said in a light tone: "What the master said is indeed true.
Ten thousand years ago, the human world lacked resources, and the conflict of ultimate interests led to the great war of the three fires, and the Buddhist forces were defeated again and again, and were finally expelled from the mainland.

And the cultivation resources of the entire human world were eventually controlled by the Taoist and Confucian families. ” After a pause, Li Senfu snorted lightly again: "No, to be precise, the resources of the human world are all controlled by Daomen monks in the end.
Because the Confucian people were too rigid, and the ideological shackles of the three outlines and five constants, loyalty and patriotism finally bound them, so they gradually decayed in the follow-up confrontation with the Daomen, and finally could only give up the spiritual veins of Baoshan in various places, succumb to the world, and guard the cabinets of various countries. ” "Therefore, in Li Sen's eyes, the cultivation realm has always been a contest of interests, and in the chaotic world where the interests of all parties are at stake, only the strongest side can get the richest dried meat, and then become more and more powerful."
When Li Sen said this, Fu turned his head sideways and glanced at the abbot of Yuanming: "As for the justice that the abbot just said, in Li Sen's eyes, it is just the complaint and indignation of the loser.
Where is there any justice in this world, the wolf is hungry and wants to eat the sheep, and what justice is there to tell the sheep, the demon clan has exhausted its resources and is forced to attack our human world, and where has he told our human world monks what justice Therefore, among the heavens and ten thousand worlds, strength is justice, and fists are truth, this is a theorem since ancient times. ” When Abbot Yuanming heard this, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he trembled twice, as if he was stimulated by Li Sen's words.
But he still shook his head and said, "Karma in the world is not in a good cycle.
Today it is a wolf eating a sheep, tomorrow a tiger eating a wolf, this kind of six reincarnations, all things can not be liberated.
Therefore, the way of heaven is still circulating in it, how can it be said that there is no justice. ” Unexpectedly, Li Sen sneered.
"The wolf is eaten by the tiger, it's just that the wolf is too weak, if it is a tenth-order wolf demon, how can a tiger in the human world dare to eat it Your so-called six reincarnations, I'm afraid it is only suitable for weak creatures.
The true immortals of the upper realm and the saints of Xuantian are immortal, how can they be bound by the six realms of reincarnation, and besides, even the heavenly Buddhas of your Buddhist family are afraid that they will live forever and will not enter the six realms of reincarnation."
"This" Yuanming Abbot was speechless for a while.
Li Sen continued in a light tone: "The so-called justice is just synonymous with hatred.
Buddhism was treated unfairly, and it is natural for you to have hatred in your hearts.
Of course, if you have the ability to take revenge in the future, you can naturally launch a revenge war against the Daomen in a grand manner, and try to regain everything you have lost.
However, Li does not advise you to do so.
You must know that the more than ten Demon Realm Transformation Stage monks who were deliberately let go by your Buddhist monks at the beginning have been sharpening their knives and coveting this world.
Nowadays, everyone is in the same boat, one is prosperous, and the other is lost.
At this moment, I think it's better for the monks in the human world to unite and not start infighting.
Otherwise, I'm afraid that in the end, it will only be cheaper for the demon monks. ” “” When the abbot of Yuanming heard this, he was silent for a long time.
After a while, he looked at Li Sen and asked in a low voice: "Master Li Shi, listening to your tone, you don't seem to have any intention of protecting the Daomen, you must know that you are a monk from the Daomen, and your cultivation is also pure Taoist exercises."
Why, you" Li Sen shook his head again and again: "Although Li is practicing Daomen exercises, he is not a Daoist person.
It's just that when Li first started practicing, only Taoist exercises were the most convenient and easy to obtain.
After all, Li's goal was only immortality, and he was not interested in any forces or battles between sects.
Moreover, Li has no intention of joining Buddhism, and the abbot does not have to be tempted in this regard. ” "It's a pity, it's a pity."
The abbot of Yuanming couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, and he was very sorry.
Li Sen glanced at the abbot of Yuanming: "Speaking of this, Li can't help but be a little curious, why the abbot has so many emotions today, I'm afraid it's not just about seeing things and hurting things, but touching the past in my heart."
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
Abbot Yuanming sighed: "Actually, a few days ago, a regrettable thing happened on the island.
The black-robed Zen master, who did not leave his name, left Kuzhu Island.
Leaving together, there were four other senior brothers who were witnesses. ” When Li Sen heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Why, you guys joined forces to drive this black-robed monk away" "It wasn't meant to be, but it seems to be the result."
Abbot Yuanming glanced down at the Buddha beads in his hand, and seemed to be a little guilty: "A few days ago, for some reasons, we found the black-robed Zen Master together and wanted to ask him about his true origin.
Unexpectedly, the black-robed Zen master did not mean to answer, but said that we were too obsessed with appearances, and hundreds of years of meditation had only ended up in vain. ” Those senior brothers were angry and moved with them.
As a result, he was surrendered by the black-robed Zen master.
In the end, the black-robed Zen master did not hurt our lives, but let out a long sigh, left a word, and disappeared on the island.
And because of this incident, Lao Wei felt guilty, and couldn't help but think of some old things, which is why he said just now. ”:
