A day passed in Ling Xiao's meditative cultivation, and a new day began.
Early in the morning, Ling Xiao went to visit Master Yixiu as usual. He wanted to borrow some Buddhist scriptures from Master Yixiu.
"Hey!"
"Hah!"
"I thought you went to the Western Paradise!”
"I did go, but they wanted me to bring you along!”
When Ling Xiao arrived, he found Jiale and Qingqing standing at the door with anxious expressions. A strange sound came from the living room, and when he walked closer to take a look, he couldn't help but feel speechless.
In the living room, Daoist Priest Four-Eyed and Master One-Rest were eating a table full of food. They threw a leaf at each other, and they returned a vegetable to each other. Their disciples were anxious to death, but they were having fun. They were like a pair of enemies.
When Ling Xiao saw this, he also stood beside Jiale and Qingqing to watch the show. He had no intention of interfering at all. As expected, the two of them left in a sorry state not long after.
Seeing that Daoist Priest Four-Eyed had left, Ling Xiao went forward to greet Master One-Rest. This time, Ling Xiao did not choose to leave. Instead, he began to consult with Master One-Rest about the Dharma.
Ling Xiao knew that in the zombie world, this Master Yixiu was an accomplished monk.
Seeing that Ling Xiao was interested in Buddhism, Master Yixiu was happy to see it happen. He casually took out a Heart Sutra from the bookshelf and handed it to Ling Xiao.
" The Heart Sutra is also known as the Mahabaramita Heart Sutra. It was translated by Tang Xuanzang of Buddhism. It has a total of one volume. Although it only has 260 words, it is the first classic and core of our Mahayana Buddhism." Master Yixiu was naturally familiar with the Buddhist scriptures."Since you are interested in Buddhism, why don't you read this scripture first?”
" Thank you, Master Yixiu," Ling Xiao took the scripture and thanked him immediately."I've heard of this scripture before, but unfortunately, I've never had the time to read it. I only remember that there's a line in it that says,'Form is emptiness, emptiness is form'.”
" It's fine," Master Yixiu said indifferently,""Since you like it, you can study it first. If there's anything you don't understand, you can come to me at any time.”
" Thank you, Master." Ling Xiao thanked Master Ikkyu again before turning to leave.
After returning to his bamboo house, Ling Xiao began to study the Heart Sutra that Master Yixiu had borrowed. It was only a short 260 words, but Ling Xiao had memorized it in just a few hours.
The next day, Ling Xiao went to Master Yixiu's place as usual and returned the Heart Sutra from the day before.
Master Yixiu had the intention to test Ling Xiao, so he asked Ling Xiao in detail. Ling Xiao answered him fluently, and he was delighted. He then lent Ling Xiao another copy of the Diamond Sutra.
The third day, the fourth day…On the tenth day, Ling Xiao would go to Master Yixiu's place every day to return the scriptures he borrowed the day before and bring new ones back to read.
Amitayus Sutra, Perfect-Perception Sutra, Lunu-Yan Sutra, Brahma Net Sutra, Forty-Two Chapters Sutra, Six Ancestors Altar Sutra, Vimalakirti Sutra, and Lunu-Jia Sutra.
After ten days of reading, Ling Xiao borrowed ten scriptures from Master Yixiu. They were the ten famous Buddhist scriptures.
Today was already the eleventh day. Ling Xiao came to Master Yixiu's place to return the scriptures again. After returning them this time, Ling Xiao did not plan to borrow them anymore. Ling Xiao felt that ten Buddhist scriptures were enough.
" You are fated with Buddhism, but you cultivate the Dao. Otherwise, I would really like to take you in," Master Yixiu said to Ling Xiao with a sigh." Alright, these are some of the insights I've learned in my life. I'll give them to you."”
" Thank you, Master Yixiu." Ling Xiao respectfully took the document from Master Yixiu's hands. His heart was touched and heavy.
Since ancient times, there had been a saying that 'techniques should not be passed down easily.' Master One Rest's actions were no different from Ling Xiao being his personal disciple.
After bidding farewell to Master Yixiu, another day passed by while Ling Xiao meditated. In the blink of an eye, it was night time again.
After having dinner with Daoist Priest Four-Eyed, Ling Xiao returned to his bamboo house and opened Master Ikkyu's notes to continue reading.
The sound of chanting came from not far away. The sound of the wooden fish, the ringing of the bronze bell, and the sound of Sanskrit could be heard. Ling Xiao read Master Yixiu's insights carefully and unknowingly fell into an epiphany.
Bathed in the Buddhist chants, all of Master Yixiu's lifelong knowledge was flipped through page by page in Ling Xiao's hands. Countless scriptures were imprinted in his mind.
At this moment, the Heart Sutra, the Diamond Sutra…The Lanuka Sutra and other scriptures of the ten great Buddhist scriptures gathered together to form a huge Buddhist name.
[Congratulations to the host for mastering the ten classics of Buddhism. You have obtained the Buddhist Six Words Daming Mantra, Om, Ma, Ni, Ba, Mi, Moo!]
At this moment, just as Ling Xiao was immersed in his epiphany, Daoist Priest Four-Eyed and Master Ikyuu were in a completely different situation.
Hearing the loud sound of the wooden fish, the four-eyed Taoist priest next door immediately looked up and roared angrily,"Ah, I can't take it anymore!"
After shouting, Daoist Priest Four-Eyed began to remove all kinds of things from his ears." Coconuts are useless, small bowls are useless, cotton is useless, and even the wick of a lamp can't stop your unpleasant wooden fish sound. Nian Nian, why can't you stop for a day?"”
Following that, Daoist Priest Four-Eyed also began to get busy. He took out many pots and jars and began to make them.
"That monk, are we good neighbors? Help me sign it." Daoist Priest Four-Eyed shook a white clay doll and said.
"An autograph isn't sincere. I'll help you stamp your fingerprint!”
"Good, that's even better!" With a meaningful smile on his face, Daoist Priest Four-Eyed took the clay doll and quickly left Master Ikxiu's house.
After returning to his own house, Daoist Priest Four-Eyed called Jiale over and asked him to start a ritual. He planned to tease Master Ikxiu.
In the end, Daoist Priest Four-Eyed was defeated and ended up drinking a bucket of cooking oil.
Early the next morning, Ling Xiao woke up from his meditation and felt refreshed and at ease.
The Buddhist Six-Character Light Mantra and the Taoist Nine-Character Mantra were the supreme divine powers of the two sects.
On this day, Ling Xiao was planning to head out to the nearby town for a walk when he suddenly noticed a large group of people walking towards them.
"It's finally here!" Ling Xiao thought to himself and canceled his plan to go to the town.
"Dong! Thump! Dong!"
"Hurry up!"
The sound of a gong could be heard, and a troop of soldiers appeared in front of them with a golden coffin. Hearing the noise from outside, Daoist Priest Four-Eyed, Master Ikxiu, and the others walked out of the house one after another.，
"Senior Brother!" Before he even got close, a Taoist priest in a Taoist robe shouted from afar. It was Taoist Master Thousand Crane.
"Junior Brother!"
"Taoist Master Thousand Crane!"
"Master Yixiu!"
"Uncle-Master!"
Daoist Priest Thousand Crane quickly walked up to Daoist Priest Four-Eyed and Master Ikyuu and greeted them.
"Ling Xiao, this is my junior brother, Taoist Master Qian He, who is also your martial uncle!”" Junior Brother, this is Senior Brother Lin Jiu's new disciple, Ling Xiao," Daoist Priest Four-Eyed introduced.”
Ling Xiao and Taoist Master Thousand Crane greeted each other.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" In the distance, Assistant Minister Wu shouted at Taoist Master Qian He. His voice was faintly dissatisfied. He held a white handkerchief and stood beside a little brother who was being carried on a high chair. He waved at him.
"Steward Wu, I want to borrow some glutinous rice from Senior Brother!”
"Glutinous Rice?" Assistant Minister Wu obviously didn't know what use the glutinous rice had.
" Assistant Minister Wu, let's take a break," the young prince suddenly said.
Assistant Minister Wu nodded and arranged for someone to put down the young prince beside him. Daoist Priest Four Eyes also arranged for Jiale to go into the house to get some glutinous rice.
During this period of time, Daoist Priest Four-Eyed came to the coffin curiously. After taking a look, he immediately asked in surprise,"The copper-edged golden coffin is wrapped with an ink net.”
"That's right, it's a zombie." Taoist Master Thousand Crane's expression turned serious. He turned around and looked at the coffin behind him.
"Then why didn't you burn it?”Daoist Priest Four-Eyed asked doubtfully.
Taoist Master Thousand Crane sighed and said,""This zombie belongs to the royal family of the border. We can't burn it. We have to transport it to the capital as soon as possible and wait for the emperor to decide.”
Ling Xiao sneered. It was already the early years of the Republic of China, yet the Qing Dynasty's imperial family still had a lofty status.
"Taoist Master Qian He, why don't you tear down the tent and let it absorb more sunlight to reduce the corpse aura?”At this moment, Master Ikxiu spoke.
"That's right. Thank you for your guidance, Master!”Taoist Master Thousand Crane was very tempted when he heard that. He immediately ordered his disciples to tear down the tents in the east, south, west, and north.
However, Ling Xiao felt that the names that Taoist Master Thousand Crane had given his disciples were of a high standard. East, South, West, North, they were all very imposing.?
" No, I'll have to name my disciples the same way in the future. For example, Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Gong, Xi, Fa, Cai, Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth."
