I fished out corpses in Wuding River to extract entries - #454 - Chapter 447: The mirror is bright but the images are different, the mind is pure but the supernatura

The Holy Spirit is dead.

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn’t help but be shocked, and it sounded like thunder in their ears. It was not only frightening, but also heart-wrenching.

At this moment, it seemed as if all the tension and pressure dissipated instantly, as if the wings that had been bound for a long time were released in an instant, making people feel like relief.

However, although the face of the monk in front of him is unknown, who is he?

But at least from the outside, compared to the terrifying and depressing Holy Spirit,

This monk obviously looks more handsome, and his aura is friendly, which makes people feel more at ease.

When Xie Que heard these words, he couldn’t help but tremble in his heart. After pondering for a moment, he finally said, “What the master meant…did you mean that I’m here?”

Although his voice was calm, there was a trace of doubt that could not be concealed.

Xie Que is well versed in divination and knows that he possesses such a treasure as the Death Judgment Diagram. Logically speaking, no one should be able to plot against him.

The monk stood there quietly, without saying a word or showing any emotion.

He just stared silently in a certain direction ahead, his eyes empty and deep.

It was as if he had transcended the constraints of time and space.

When Xie Que saw this scene, he suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

He raised his hand and waved gently towards the monk’s eyes.

However, the monk remained the same, as if the person in front of him did not exist.

Taoist Huaiyue also said from the side: “Don’t try, this guy is just a projection, there will be no reaction.”

Hearing this, Xie Que’s heart was filled with doubts.

In this case, why does this monk appear here, and why does he exist in this way?

Why did he know that the Holy Spirit was dead?

However, even in the face of Xie Que’s rude behavior, the monk remained unmoved and walked forward quietly.

Xie Que simply stopped in front of the monk again.

But unexpectedly, the monk’s figure passed directly through Xie Que’s arm.

At the same time, an indescribable force surged in Xie Que’s hands.

The ghost-headed sword seemed to feel the presence of the monk, and it couldn’t help but began to tremble crazily.

Its blade was like a flag in the wind, and the silver light on the blade kept flashing, as if it was about to break through the restraints.

Even the surrounding world was shaken slightly by the wild sword cry.

Xie Que sighed softly, feeling helpless.

If you are not careful at this moment, this ghost-headed sword with a murderous intent will be like a wild horse and lose control.

“this……”

Fortunately, Xie Que knew what he was doing. He took a deep breath and suddenly increased the strength of his grip on the knife.

At this moment, the ghost-headed sword was suppressed by an almost terrifying force, and the trembling sound on the sword began to gradually subside.

The entire blade began to be forced to stabilize, no longer as restless as before.

He let out a long breath, and the knife almost escaped his hand.

The monk’s gaze deflected, and at this moment it actually fell on a person that no one had expected.

Ah Zhi.

Taoist Huaiyue also suddenly showed a thoughtful look in his eyes, and looked at Xie Que: “Since Junior Brother Bi Jue has inherited the methods of the two sects of Zen and Esotericism, is he not the person this monk is waiting for?”

When Xie Que heard this, he also shook his head: “Who knows?”

Ah Zhi looked a little confused, but he was still a little silent and unable to extricate himself from the grief of Awen’s death.

The monk suddenly raised his hand, and the ghost-headed sword in Xie Que’s hand, which was already trembling, suddenly burst out with an incredible amount of power.

It’s not that Xie Que can’t suppress it.

Only after what had just happened, Xie Que knew that he might not be able to force the sword to stay in his hands.

Although this knife is indeed extremely easy to use.

But the resistance that burst out from the ghost-headed broadsword made Xie Que hesitate for a moment before letting go.

After the ghost-headed sword escaped Xie Que’s control, it fell directly in front of A Zhi.

Ah Zhi was immediately startled.

Xie Que also suddenly became thoughtful.

This ghost-headed sword records the complete inheritance of the “Tathagata’s Indestructible Holy Body”.

If there was a plan in advance, both the sword and the monk should be waiting for someone.

Maybe… what they are waiting for is Ah Zhi.

But these are also speculations.

Xie Que remained silent, retreated to Taoist Huaiyue, and watched the development of the matter silently.

After all, this world is extremely weird, and neither he nor Taoist Huaiyue dare to do anything at will.

I can only wait and see what happens and pray that nothing bad happens.

But even though Ah Zhi was a little reluctant, the ghost-headed sword still forcefully pushed the handle into his palm.

Ah Zhi cast a look at Taoist Huaiyue for help.

Taoist Huaiyue just shrugged. After all, the development of things now seems to have exceeded their expectations.

When Ah Zhi saw this, he couldn’t help but become violent and directly held the knife in his hands.

However, what he didn’t expect was that the expected murderous intention did not come as expected.

Instead, pieces of magnificent Buddhist scriptures quietly slipped into his mind.

Ah Zhi was surprised for a while, but his reason told him that this situation did not happen for no reason.

Perhaps it is the method of “transferring” in Buddhism.

Thinking of this, he quickly took a deep breath and started reciting Taoist scriptures.

I just didn’t expect that the legendary conversion didn’t happen.

Ah Zhi also had no intention of converting to Buddhism.

But those scriptures just mentioned have been firmly engraved in my heart.

Moreover, these scriptures not only escaped into his mind, but also penetrated into the depths of his soul, making him feel as if he was a profound master of Buddhism.

What surprised him even more was that among these scriptures, there was also an article “The Tathagata’s Indestructible Holy Body” that directly reached the realm of gods and Buddhas.

Just by looking at its name, Ah Zhi knew how powerful his method was.

At this moment, the monk also walked up to A Zhi.

“The young monk has been entangled with the Holy Spirit for who knows how many years…”

“Today I can finally be freed…”

Ah Zhi just opened his mouth and seemed to have something to ask, but the monk spoke again:

“Xiao Monk knows that you have many questions, but some things…can’t be said.”

“Xiao Monk can only tell you…”

“The mirror is bright but the images are different, the mind is pure but the supernatural power is omnipotent.”

Plop… The sound was like a sudden burst of water bubbles, and the monk’s figure suddenly became blurry.

“Senior.” Ah Zhi wanted to say something more, but unexpectedly, the monk interrupted him again:

“Xiao Monk can only tell you…”

“The mirror is bright but the images are different, the mind is pure but the supernatural powers are all-responsive.”

As soon as the words fell, the monk’s shadow disappeared, leaving only the empty courtyard.

“The mirror is bright but the images are different, the heart is pure but the supernatural powers are all-responsive…”

Ah Zhi recited it silently, but seemed to be a bit uncomprehensive.

He couldn’t help but look at Xie Que beside him: “Brother Bi Jue, what do you mean by this?”

Xie Que, who was watching all this, had a clear mirror in his heart. When he thought about the meaning of this sword, everything was clear.

He did not choose to hide it, but pointed directly at the ghost-headed sword in A Zhi’s hand.

“Use the blade as a mirror and look at yourself.”

Ah Zhi lowered his head and picked up the knife again.

Unexpectedly, when he saw it, he was suddenly startled and threw the ghost-headed sword far away in his hand.

“this is not me……”

Xie Que just shook his head: “That’s why the monk just told you that ‘the mirror is bright but the image is different’.”

Taoist Huaiyue also understood the meaning of Zen, and couldn’t help but be surprised when he looked at A Zhi.

Ah Zhi seemed to have thought of something. He couldn’t help but grit his teeth and picked up the ghost-headed sword again.

He used it as a mirror again, reflecting his own appearance from above.

In his eyes, what he saw through the blade was no different from that of the monk.

But in reality, Ah Zhi wore a tall bun and a black Taoist robe.

It is far different from the image of the monk reflected on the blade.

“I… am him?” Ah Zhi was still talking in a dreamy tone, he couldn’t believe it.

Xie Que sighed and nodded slightly without saying much.

The monk’s meaning was very clear.

There may be huge differences between the image of himself in the mirror and the reality of himself, but there is no doubt that he is this monk.

In other words… it is the reincarnation of the monk.

Ah Zhi was still in disbelief and couldn’t help but look at Taoist Huaiyue: “Senior brother…”

Although he had accepted those scriptures and inheritance just now, he was suddenly unable to accept such heavyweight information.

Taoist Huaiyue just smiled: “What? Can’t you accept that you were bald in your previous life?”

Ah Zhi shook his head slightly, finding it difficult to accept: “It’s not…”

Taoist Huaiyue patted him on the shoulder to show his understanding.

After all, not everyone can be extremely calm after knowing their past life identity.

Ah Zhi pondered for a long time, staring straight at the blade in front of him. After a long silence, he said again:

“Then Senior Brother Bi Jue, what is the meaning of ‘pure heart and omnipotent supernatural powers’?”

Xie Que thought for a moment and then said: “Can you see the inheritance method inside the blade?”

A strange look suddenly appeared on Ah Zhi’s face: “Could it be that Senior Brother Bi Jue saw it just now?”

Xie Que didn’t hide anything and nodded directly.

After all, this is not something worth hiding.

The Tathagata’s Indestructible Holy Body needs to be guided by divinity as a path to practice leading to gods and Buddhas. This does not mean anything to him.

Ah Zhi did not show any displeasure, but looked a little strange: “The inheritance information in this knife… is destroyed as soon as it is read…”

“After I got it just now, it has completely dissipated.”

“I don’t know how Senior Brother Bi Jue could see it.”

Taoist Huaiyue immediately looked at Xie Que with admiration.

There is such a method of inheritance, and it is designed to prevent the secret knowledge from being leaked.

But what they didn’t expect was that Xie Que actually bypassed the blockade and saw the inheritance method.

Xie Que couldn’t help but be startled, but when he thought that it might be the function of a certain entry, it wasn’t surprising.

After all, the terrifying murderous intention within it can be easily suppressed by Xuanwu, so what’s the difficulty in breaking the inheritance seal?

He coughed and chose to bypass the topic directly, and answered A Zhi: “The so-called pure heart and omnipotent supernatural powers means that if you practice Buddhism and can achieve a perfect mind, you can have all kinds of supernatural powers.”

“There is a saying in the Surangama Sutra: Maha Moggallana has a perfect mind.”

“One of the stories is that one of the Buddha’s disciples, Moggallana, asked the Buddha: If he becomes a Buddha, will he wear cassocks and let his hair fall off?”

“The Buddha responded by saying: I don’t need to be clothed or shaved to become a bhikkhu.”

“I have magical powers. I can travel around the world in all directions. I can come and go freely without any hindrance.”

“The consciousness invented by my supernatural power is the Tathagata’s hidden nature. It does not change and follows the circumstances, and is free and harmonious. Therefore, the Buddha said that I have the first magical power among all Arhats.”

“Afterwards, Moggallana realized that his mind was perfect and his supernatural power was unparalleled in the world.”

“Then the Buddha asked Moggallana again, and he responded to the Buddha by saying: The consciousness that spins and makes false distinctions returns to the clear and immovable nature of the mind. The mind emits the light of wisdom, just like clearing turbid water. After being clear for a long time, it becomes crystal clear. The Tathagata’s hidden nature is pure, bright and pure, so the method of consciousness is the first.”

“The meaning is to describe what a perfect mind is.”

“After hearing Moggallana’s words, not only the Tathagata alone praised him, but even the Buddhas in the worlds of the ten directions praised him for his profound Dharma and deep roots of wisdom.”

“So I… am the reincarnation of Moggallana?”

Hearing this, Ah Zhi was immediately frightened.

He did not expect that this monk’s background was so powerful.

Xie Tiao nodded, finally knowing that even someone as powerful as the Holy Spirit could be suppressed.

Since he is Moggallana, he can explain clearly.

This Maha Moggallana Buddha used to be praised as the number one in the Buddhist world in terms of supernatural powers.

What just makes Xie Que wonder is, could it be that Maha Moggallana Buddha… finally died together with the Holy Spirit?

Otherwise, there would be no need to reincarnate and return.

Xie Que and Taoist Huaiyue looked at A Zhi with completely different eyes at this moment.

Xie Que was just a little surprised, while Taoist Huaiyue was a little shocked.

He also did not expect that he had just accepted him as a disciple of Xuantian Pavilion because of his good talent.

It was the reincarnation of such a great god.

And now that he has received the teachings from his previous life, he will surely be able to regain his strength soon.

Surpassing yourself is just a matter of time.

What surprised Xie Que and the others was that Ah Zhi was silent for a long time.

Throw the ghost-headed sword into the ground.

“I don’t practice Buddhism.”

Taoist Huaiyue showed a look of relief in an instant, and he didn’t know whether it was because he was reluctant to abandon his disciples or because he was at odds with Buddhism.

Xie Que was a little curious: “Why?”

“I don’t want to… I just don’t want to.” Azhi didn’t say why.

But Xie Que had already sensed the determination in the other party’s tone.

Although Ah Zhi at this moment has not practiced Buddhism, his mind has already seen the innocence of a child.

Although there is still some distance from the perfect mind attained by Mahamoggallana Buddha, it is at least a beginning.

It is extremely difficult to persuade someone with such a profound state of mind.

Moreover, he and Ah Zhi were not familiar with each other. Since Taoist Huaiyue didn’t persuade him, he had no reason.

He just nodded: “Then…do you know the exit?”

Ah Zhi nodded, then raised his hand and pointed in a direction. (End of chapter)
