The cave was quiet, and the light from the sky came in and spread out again. Time was like white flowing water, passing by and flew away according to the light and shadow, but the air seemed to have escaped from the control of time and condensed, like frost, making people feel uncomfortable.

"What kind of virtue is my master? He has carried such a big burden on his shoulders." Yi Tianxing looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva coldly, "According to the Bodhisattva's meaning, it seems that I have to do this Buddha even if I don't do it."

"Your master gave birth to monkeys in the stone, and then converted to Buddhism and became a Buddha on the ground." Guanyin Bodhisattva said, "He was born according to heaven and earth, but he did not follow the principles of heaven and earth. Others said that heaven was the father and earth were mothers, but the monkey was disrespectful to the high heaven and did not respect the thick earth. He was all naked and unrestrained. He jumped out of the three realms and was not in the five elements. The Buddha of Tathagata saw his past for hundreds of years and was afraid that he would cause chaos in heaven and earth, so he had the intention to lead him to Buddha. This was why he traveled to the West that day and later named him the Battle and Battle Buddha."

"Although the passage between the underworld and the human world is difficult and terrifying, wouldn't it be natural to have such a fearless war against Buddha like your master?" The Bodhisattva looked at him calmly.

Yi Tianxing tilted his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking, suddenly slapped his chest hard, took out a pack of instant noodles from Mickey's small schoolbag, and it smelled of braised beef. He went to the cave to pick up some mountain springs, and then held it in his palms, and remained silent for a long time.

Many years ago, he left Gaoyang County and headed for the provincial capital. On the stinky green train, he cooked instant noodles with the sky fire in his hand. At that time, the young man was frivolous and had just learned Taoism, and was full of longing for the unknown. Today, the instant noodles cooked are no longer as young as the young man, and his eyes are quiet. He doesn't know what he is thinking about.

The steaming hot air, with the aroma of different onion that has become wet and softened after drying, floated out of the paper bucket.

When Guanyin Bodhisattva saw him suddenly fell into silence, she knew that he was calculating in his heart and did not speak.

Yi Tianxing still didn't speak, but just broke the comb in his hand hard, replaced the chopsticks with the long comb teeth, picked up the slippery noodle and sent it to his mouth. The sound of sucking spread throughout the quiet cave, and even spread throughout Putuo Mountain.

After eating the noodles, Yi Tianxing burped his mouth, asked, "This little schoolbag is said to be not only Maitreya Buddha can open it? Why can both Mr. Chen Sanxing and my wife open it?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't know what he was thinking, and followed his words and replied: "Everyone can open before you open, and after you open, only you can open."

Yi Tianxing shook his head, thinking that this was obviously a little different from the facts, but he was also lazy and asked, "Bodhisattva, I just want to ask you one thing, do you think Buddha is a good person or a bad person?"

"Good man? Bad man?" Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled, "You are not a child. Why do you still ask such questions?"

Yi Tianxing sneered: "If it were a child, his views on these things might be more direct and more accurate."

He stood up, stretched his waist, and said, "Actually, in the end, you don't know what the Buddha thinks, and I don't know what the Buddha thinks. Everyone is just guessing. Maybe the Buddha wanted to pass the seat to Amitabha Buddha. But he was afraid that the people in Mount Sumeru would not do it, so he led my master, the most powerful man in Mount Sumeru, to the lower realm... You said that place is the passage between the human world and the underworld, who told you?"

He looked at the Bodhisattva coldly: "Why do you determine that if my master escapes from the trap, it will lead to the destruction of the three realms? I just don't believe it, I just want to save him from the temple."

"I won't stop you." The Bodhisattva's expression remained unchanged. "If you practice in Putuo and become a Buddha, you will naturally have the ability to open the passage. You can naturally save the monkey..." She frowned slightly, and the red mole on her eyebrows looked particularly bright: "I have always had a good relationship with your master. How could you not be willing to save him?"

Yi Tianxing looked at her quietly: "Becoming a Buddha? This is too vague. Although I have now cultivated to the realm of a great bodhisattva, if I want to break through the closed space of the Buddha, I don't know that I have to wait for thousands or tens of thousands of years. Even the current Buddha Lord, Amitabha Buddha, cannot open it. How long will I have to wait?"

"You are different from Amitabha Buddha." The Bodhisattva persuaded: "You are the designated disciple of the Buddha. The knot under the Buddha's corpse is now gently falling on your hands, waiting for you to open it."

Yi Tianxing asked a real question: "How long will it take for me to become a Buddha?" He asked this question very without confidence.

"The Buddha said that you will be in the Tushita Heaven for four thousand years, and you will become a Buddha in the next life after the end of the year."

"I have read the Agama Sutra, and I can recite the Maitreya Sutra." Yi Tianxing interrupted the Bodhisattva's speech without hesitation.

"The Buddha picked you back to your previous life before the catastrophe and offered you more than a thousand years of offerings, but now there are still three thousand years of remaining." The Bodhisattva said with a smile.

"Three thousand years old?"

Yi Tianxing's whole body was like falling into a cold cellar - it was not because of the value of 3,000 years, because although three thousand years were difficult to wait, at worst, after he fled back to the world, he worshiped the old monkey in Guiyuan Temple and spent three thousand years of tasteless years with Zou Leilei. It was not impossible. But the scriptures clearly state that Maitreya's four thousand lives is 5.6 billion years in the world. If there are still three thousand years left, wouldn't it be impossible to practice Buddha for more than 400 billion years?

I think in this vast ocean of the universe, the beginning of life on the earth is just in billions. If I really want to cultivate for more than 4 billion years, the stars will move horizontally and things will change. At that time, the earth is afraid that it will become a desert. How can Guiyuan Temple survive?

He took a deep breath, stared at Guanyin Bodhisattva's face, word by word, gritted his teeth and said, "Are you playing with me?"

In the 53 essential verses of the Dharma, when the boy Shancai met Guanyin, he described it as follows: he went to the two islands of Puturaga to visit the treasure of the Bodhisattva Liberated Bodhisattva, and practiced the compassionate teachings to be free from fear and follow the appropriateness, and realized the Bodhisattva's great compassion practice method.

Today, Yi Tianxing is above Putuo. Although there are no Bodhisattvas and sentient beings who meet each other, they hear a lot of secrets, and they are afraid and hateful.

It will take more than 4 billion years, and the old monkey will stay for more than 4 billion years? Ye Xiang will die and live for more than 4 billion years?

Therefore, Yi Tian was in his heart and believed that Guanyin Bodhisattva was telling jokes and teasing me.

"It is precisely because it takes billions of years." The Bodhisattva said mercifully: "That's why I set up such a situation. It is the most balanced state in heaven and earth. Whether in the underworld or in the Buddha land, it is necessary to confront both sides, so that it is possible to find such a long time for you in the cracks."

There are armies confronting each other in the underworld, and there are armies confronting each other in the heaven. After Guanyin Bodhisattva held a Dharma Assembly, there were naturally people who had been hiding for five hundred years to confront the Western Pure Land.

This is a balanced and unstable state.

Yi Tianxing frowned and said, "This balance is not stable."

"Still is always unstable." The Bodhisattva said: "Still is only seeking in movement."

Yi Tianxing scolded: "You have been doing it for so long and have only developed a balance state. I have to wait for more than 4 billion years to become a Buddha. You are too incompetent!"

The Bodhisattva said indifferently, "What can I do if the Buddha said this?"

He was so swearing, and he started to be swearing... Yi Tianxing secretly looked at the beautiful but blurred face of the Bodhisattva. He muttered silently in his heart, thinking that I had scolded so many swear words, and the Bodhisattva finally started to be swearing, and it seemed that things had turned around.

He stood up, coughed twice, and said, "Since it will take billions of years, I will leave first and return to the world to explain my funeral so that I can come up to accompany the Bodhisattva to recite scriptures throughout the day."

The Bodhisattva's eyes flickered. He glared at him and said, "Do I don't know your nature? If you are down from the realm at this time, you will definitely find a way to release your master, but your master is on the dark eyes. If no one resists the Buddha's light after he comes out, and the two realms of the underworld are connected, what should I do? Although you are bold and reckless, you will never be able to watch the world become the scorched earth of the last era."

Yi Tianxing wailed, "My dear, good Bodhisattva, then what should you do? Let the master go, if something happens, if you want to let the master safely, you have to wait for billions of years. What should you do? Otherwise, let's not care about the ghosts in the underworld, and they will suffer. Anyway, we are all great Bodhisattvas. If you don't fall into the samsara landlords, even if you don't live in the samsara, you won't go to the Dao of the Underworld, just follow Amitabha's idea. You let Zhenwu stop the army and take Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and Erlang Shen back. Let's go to the Western Pure Land together to listen to Amitabha's preaching, and build a harmonious society together. It's very glorious... The old monkey can't come out, just think that he has made contributions to the stability and unity of the three realms. I will sacrifice it, and I will take my wife and children to tell stories to him every day, will it be successful?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva naturally would not believe his last nonsense, but just smiled and said, "You really don't care about the suffering of billions of creatures in the underworld in despair."

"Don't care." Yi Tianxing said that geography was natural.

But Guanyin Bodhisattva's face began to change.

Yi Tianxing's face sank because he found that the light outside the cave had risen again for no reason. The Bodhisattva's face was shrouded in the light, and it became clear from blur to clear. He would no longer let himself see the thickness of the eyebrows and forget the thickness of the lips. Instead, it gradually became clear, forming faces with different expressions.

Yi Tianxing recognized those faces. Although some of the landlords had not been in contact with them for many years, they still recognized them and remained in a certain place in his heart.

That dark and thin face was a partner when carrying a big bag at the railway station in Gaoyang County.

The one who looked kind but had a hint of fierceness in his eyes was Yuan Ye, who had been chasing him and wanted to "work" hard.

The white and innocent person who smiled like a child was the cute and insidious little Zhou Zhou, Zhou Yiwen, and Director Zhou Da.

And that clean smiling face, which belongs to the outstanding League Secretary, Zhong, and a woman.

And... Chen Sanxing and Liang Siniu?

And... that somewhat dirty face, wrinkles, seemed to be mixed with many sufferings in the world, and it was more than ten years away from Yi Tianxing. He even suspected that he had almost forgotten... Yi Tianxing lowered his heart... Grandpa!

The Bodhisattva's face changed into dozens of different faces in front of his eyes, hitting his heart.

Yi Tianxing's expression was hunched, but he felt very sad. He hadn't seen his grandfather's face for many years. I don't know what it feels like when he sees it today.

He knew what the Bodhisattva meant. These people who have grudges and kindness with him were all mortals. They were already dead in the land and were walking slowly and hard in the army of billions of bones in the underworld. Some of them were not dead yet, but one day they would die. They would join the wandering souls of the bones, flesh, flesh, corpses and souls. They would not be liberated all day and not enter the cycle of reincarnation.

If you really let go, these people will suffer endlessly for life.

Yi Tianxing raised his eyebrows, controlled his mind very strongly, and smiled and said, "Bodhisattva, you are wrong. If you present such a terrible fact in front of me, it will only disrupt your deployment and take risks."

He wants to return to the human world. He releases the old monkey and breaks it opens the passage between the underworld and the earth.

So he took a step, walked to the entrance of the cave, looked at the sky full of light, and took a deep breath.

The Bodhisattva walked slowly behind him and said softly: "If you leave Putuo, I am afraid that the Western Pure Land will attack you immediately. Amitabha Buddha will not take the risk of giving you the opportunity to break the barriers between the underworld and the human world."

Yi Tianxing smiled and said, "If I stayed in Putuo for 4 billion years, can you protect me for 4 billion years?"

Before the Bodhisattva could answer, he shook his head: "Zhang Xiaobai, don't threaten this trick. I can't threaten you in the world, and you can't threaten me here."

The two of them fell into silence at the same time.

Yi Tianxing suddenly smiled and asked, "I have always been very curious about the world in the east. What does it look like in the world of foreigners? The Buddha has been blocked from the six realms of reincarnation. Does it have no impact on that side?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at him and found that there was no hesitation on the boy's face. He knew that he had made up his mind, so he smiled slightly and stopped persuading each other. Instead, he talked about the greatest gossip of heaven according to his intentions.

"Those who believe in reincarnation enter reincarnation." The Bodhisattva said softly: "The Buddha has blocked the six realms of reincarnation. It is just that the world of you and me is effective. He believes that this is to liberate the suffering of sentient beings, and naturally it will only liberate his own believers."

"It seems that the Buddha is indeed as the master said. He is very petty." Yi Tianxing's long eyelashes blinked in the water. "It just made people who believe in him miserable, and he ended up falling into hell forever."

"All great wisdoms, when you go to the end, you will probably all return to the same destination." The Bodhisattva's faint eyes cast into the depths of the sea of ​​clouds outside Putuo Mountain. "As you said, the Buddha has truly returned to nirvana, and some of the other great wisdoms have also embarked on this path. For five hundred years, the traces of Laojun have never appeared in the heavenly court. I guess he will leave too. As for the world you are talking about, a thousand years ago, the Buddha wanted to expand the believers to where they are, but... well, it was already the previous words, and there is no need to mention them at this time. If you have the chance in the future, you should understand. The Lord is also a great wisdom in that place. If I know nothing wrong, he should have left this world and expanded his believers in other worlds."

"Where is Allah?"

"Allah is God. I heard that he was bored in those years and could not interfere in the east, so he messed up two believers on his territory and fought every day. He watched and played on it, and sometimes he would come down to earth in person, and sometimes he became a sacred knight and a caliph. In short, he was a ruthless man."

"It turns out that the Crusader, the Islamic Scimitar Knight... is this function." Yi Tianxing opened his mouth wide and sucked in the cold air.

"Oh, Brother Rhodes." After shaking his head, Yi Tianxing high-five and exclaimed: "Laojun should not be able to play the Buddha's trick. He is probably taking a bath between heaven and earth. Buddha committed suicide and played silent, and God played conquest everywhere. It's really a character that determines life."

Character determines life, and naturally determines God's life.

Walk out of the cave and walk in the quiet Putuo Mountain. There are green valleys on both sides, and occasionally birds sing in it. There is a small pool in front of it, but there is no drop of water in the pool, which is dry, revealing the slightly yellow earthly moss inside. It looks particularly ugly in the surrounding scenery.

"Do you know what it means to be suffering in life?"

Yi Tianxing stopped by the pond and suddenly asked.

Since he started eating instant noodles, Guanyin Bodhisattva knew that this boy in his previous life and the Buddha in this life had made up his mind to leave Putuo. The Bodhisattva had his own bodhisattva mind. How could he do more things in words or behaviors and send him out all the way, and they were speechless. Suddenly, he heard his question, and thought for a while and said, "This is the flesh and blood, body, and life is all painful. Then the lotus is born, and there is no suffering."

This is a passage from the Pure Land Buddhist scriptures.

Yi Tianxing smiled and said, "Your father's meaning is always against me." He turned his eyes to the death pool and scratched his head: "Even if the lotus is born, it is suffering. When I was in the world, I realized the truth in the valleys of the six back lands and stalked on the road to heaven. It was then that I was inspired by Samantabhadra Bodhisattva. He had been withered for five hundred years, but he believed in me. This trust is really hard to bear."

"But then again, I only knew that the Buddha left behind the four words "every life is bitter". My bird son pretended to be sad in the forest. Afterwards, Lei Lei couldn't figure it out and said that we were both men and women. We had no chance of water and fire, we would not have any disease or dirt, and we lived a wealthy and idle life. We played with supernatural powers, so where would we suffer?"

"Where is the hardship?"

Yi Tianxing repeated his questions, then smiled bitterly and replied: "I have never told others what is the hardship of being thrown away by the Bodhisattva in this life, but today I want to teach the Bodhisattva to learn about it."

Guanyin Bodhisattva was now imagining that she was a girl, following him, listening to his solemn matter, so she nodded slightly and shook her black braids.

"Apart from the time I had a fever because of Yi Zhu, I never got sick, so I didn't know how to smell disinfectant on the white sheets of the hospital bed." Yi Tianxing said with a quiet expression: "I couldn't get hurt when I was a child, so I couldn't cry and ask my mother to wrap my wounds after my fingers were cut. I was not drunk for a thousand cups, so I never knew what it meant to be drunk. Three cups of snoring, five-color horse, a thousand gold fur. Li Bai could play with it, but I couldn't play with it. Tao Yuanming drank high and wrote poems to pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence. Finally, he said that there was a true meaning in this, and he forgot to say it to him. In fact, this intellectual farmer was obviously drunk, and no matter how much I drank, he couldn't relieve the true taste in the wine. Ouyang Xiu was drunk and lying on the mountain stone, saying that the drunk man's intention was not wine... Haha, I was drunk man's intention, but I didn't dizzy... it was bitter."

He turned his head and stared at the beautiful face of the Bodhisattva: "I am not afraid of heights, so it is boring to play bungee jumping, it is boring to coast, it is boring to surf, it is boring to drift because it is not afraid... it is boring to do it."

"I don't have any fear in this world." He frowned tightly. "I was robbed when I was a child and didn't feel irritated or afraid."

"I'm not afraid of the cold, so I didn't feel so warm and comfortable when I lay in the quilt reading banned books on heavy snow. I didn't feel so warm and comfortable. I didn't feel so stuffed by the little girl into her collar, and I didn't feel fun."
To be continued...
