Chapter 399(1/3)
"Great monk..."
Zhang Qingyun opened his eyes and looked at Zhiguang: "Which demon do you want to subjugate and which demon do you want to get rid of?"
Great Monk is not meant to humiliate Zhiguang. The title of Great Monk is a title reserved only for those with high moral character and respect. It is a title of respect.
Great monks are generally used to address the monastery leader, abbot, and abbot. This is a title that recognizes the other person's status.
Zhiguang clasped his hands together and said with a confident smile: "Amitabha, so that the lay people know that the poor monk and others are here to capture the evil ghost of Shuiyun Palace!"
"Shuiyun Palace..."
Zhang Qingyun nodded: "Pindao, under the guidance of fellow Taoist Shuixin, once watched from a distance. The great monk knows what the level of cultivation of the ghosts in Shuiyun Palace is, and why they occupy Shuiyun Palace?"
"this..."
Of course Zhiguang was no stranger to Shuiyun Palace, but Zhiguang had not yet entered Shuiyun Palace after it was haunted.
Frowning, Zhiguang then smiled and said: "No matter what kind of monster or ghost it is, it is just a ghost. If the poor monk does this, he will definitely catch this ghost and send it to the future Buddha to be punished..."
The future Buddha is Maitreya Buddha.
Buddhas have past, future and present. The past Buddha is the Ancient Buddha of Lanterns, the future Buddha is Maitreya Buddha. And the present Buddha is Mahavairocana, Sakyamuni.
Caught in front of Maitreya and punished?
With a serious tone, Zhang Qingyun thought for a moment and said: "The great monk has such confidence, so why invite the poor Taoist to come over? The poor Taoist can't catch ghosts."
Can’t catch ghosts?
Zhiguang smiled broadly. If you can catch ghosts, it wouldn't make any sense for me to invite you.
You, a Taoist priest, have probably never seen what a ghost looks like.
Zhiguang smiled and said: "The poor monk preaches the Dharma, and I would like to ask fellow Taoists for some advice."
The purpose is obvious and the words are polite, but the underlying meaning is that I am just pretending that you don't know how to catch ghosts, and I just want you to see the vastness of my Dharma.
Having said this, to shirk it any further would be cowardice and fear.
That means admitting that he is not as good as Zhiguang. To put it more seriously, it means admitting that Taoism is not as good as Buddhism.
Zhang Qingyun nodded: "The great monk will go now, and the poor monk will arrive soon."
Zhiguang clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, turned around and led the monks down the mountain.
It wasn't until they reached the bottom of the mountain that Qingyun felt a little unhappy: "Master, you are enough to catch the evil ghosts. Why did you invite those three Taoist priests to Shuiyun Palace and really catch the evil ghosts? Wouldn't it help them become famous?"
Qingyun is not a real Taoist priest, so she has no sense of belonging to the Taoist sect.
And since she and Zhiguang were on good terms and slept in the same bed, her heart naturally turned towards Zhiguang.
Everyone was curious. Maitreya Monastery was good enough to catch ghosts and didn't need help. Why did Zhiguang insist on inviting the three Taoist priests?
"You don't understand, that's because your level hasn't been reached yet."
The level... I haven't reached it yet...
Everyone was in awe, Zhiguang became the master of Maitreya Zen Temple at a young age, not only because of his advanced cultivation, but also because of Zhiguang's wisdom and Dharma.
"Please ask the master (master) to give me some advice."
Everyone bowed one after another.
Zhiguang smiled slightly. This smile seemed to be full of wisdom, just like the Buddha holding flowers and smiling: "Buddhism and Taoism have been in conflict for a long time, and they are competing for superiority. Now it is obvious that this Taoist priest's status is not low. I invite him to go to the water."
The purpose of catching ghosts in Yun Palace is to let him see the vastness of Buddhism and its magical powers..."
Everyone was stunned.
This is the use of magical powers to show the power of Buddhism!
...
"There is nothing more ridiculous in the world than this. It is the most tragic thing when people are ignorant."
Waiting for Zhiguang and others to leave, Liu Qingfeng handed the grilled fish to Zhang Qingyun: "That monk thinks he has great powers. It is obvious that he wants to show his powers in front of us and suppress us."
To put it lightly, it means suppressing them.
To put it bluntly, it means suppressing Taoism on behalf of Buddhism!
Kaidao just lowered his head to eat fish. These mysteries and the meaning of their conversations were completely incomprehensible to Kaidao. Because he had come into contact with too few people, he lacked experience in interacting with people.
It's better to listen to it nearby, because you can't say anything.
"Then the monk is okay, his cultivation is acceptable."
Zhang Qingyun did not belittle the other person: "I can't tell you what magic weapon or other extraordinary means this monk has in his hands. Don't laugh at others. When you laugh at others, your state of mind will already have flaws."
"I didn't laugh at him."
Liu Qingfeng smiled happily: "I just laughed at him. He thought he had great magical powers and was omnipotent, but he regarded the Master as an ordinary Taoist priest, showing off his magical powers."
Who is Master Qingyun?
Killing ghosts is as easy as drinking water, and you can easily create the Holy Land of Kunlun.
Such a person is looked down upon by others.
It's really ridiculous.
"It's just that I'm a little unclear."
Liu Qingfeng blinked: "They are like this, why would the Master want to catch ghosts with them?"
Wouldn't it be better if such a person died?
This is what Liu Qingfeng meant.
The smile on Zhang Qingyun's face disappeared and he gradually became solemn: "It's okay if I don't know. Now that I know, I can't just sit idly by and ignore it, otherwise it will violate my sense of justice."
Zhang Qingyun said seriously, and Liu Qingfeng also looked solemn: "What the Master meant, that ghost..."
"It's so ghostly."
Just four words explained the realm of ghosts in Shuiyun Palace, and Zhiguang and the others were no match.
Unless they have magic weapons or secret skills.
However, magic weapons and secret techniques rely on cultivation to exert their power. Zhiguang and their cultivation realm...
"Eat quickly. After eating, we will go to Shuiyun Palace to rescue people. If we get there late, we will collect their bodies for them."
...
In front of Shuiyun Palace.
Looking up at the sky, Zhiguang couldn't help but speed up his steps.
"Midnight is coming soon, we must enter the Shuiyun Palace in advance to set up the formation and set up the altar."
Zhiguang is still confident in the formation.
They once used this formation to catch ghosts twice in the mountains and wild forests.
All successful and very easy.
However, he still did not dare to be careless: "Master Shuixin, after entering Shuiyun Palace and setting up the formation, layman, please do not leave the formation. The evil spirits are coming, and we cannot distract you from taking care of him."
Facing the unknown, Zhiguang is still very rational, rather than blindly confident: "If you are really defeated, leave immediately and don't stay. You will lose your life in vain!"
Shui Xin nodded, his expression serious.
That evil spirit was so terrifying. Just seeing its appearance at that time made her still terrified to this day.
"Don't worry, Master, we will not be lagging behind when the time comes."
Shui Xin’s solemn guarantee.
They are not true Taoist priests. They have read several Taoist scriptures, but they still cannot understand them. They know how much they weigh.
Among Zhiguang and his group, the four masters and apprentices are a liability.
Entering Shuiyun Palace, a group of people felt as if they were entering an ice cave.
The cold wind blows on my face and the ghostly atmosphere fills my face!
The already very cold weather still made them feel an obvious vertical drop in temperature.
Shui Xin shivered involuntarily, and Master and Disciple Shui Xin hugged his arms.
So cold!
Zhiguang and others' faces all darkened. The evil spirits here are more terrifying than imagined!
Ghost monsters have affected the environment!
Now is the time when the Yang is at its peak, and the Yang Qi is even stronger than when the sun shines at noon.
It's so cold here!
It's very quiet all around and you can hear a pin drop.
At this moment, apart from his own voice, the footsteps of the people around him seemed to have disappeared.
