Chapter 824: The mysterious Buddha comes to help
Perhaps, just as Chen Xuan said, among all the roads in the world, the first step from nothing to something is the most difficult.
The hideous and ugly evil demon cannot make the people feel at ease, but whether it has the intention to harm people or to do good, time will prove it without words.
Chen Xuan is not a savior, he is the great Buddhist master of the time, guiding all living beings to do good, but he cannot control their choices and future.
This evil demon is willing to be good because he still has some good nature in his bones. With the guidance of Chen Xuan, if he sticks to his beliefs in the future, he may achieve great things.
The light illuminates the bones, and the shadow hides the heart.
In a simple small temple in the mountains, Chen Xuan personally lit a remaining candle and sat cross-legged in meditation in the faint candlelight, as if he was one with the world and nature, with extraordinary charm.
Chen Xuan was in the candlelight, and the strange Buddha figure was standing in his shadow, with a thoughtful look on his face and drooping eyebrows.
"Let the evil demon sweep the streets for the people. It is a fierce creature after all. Why not use magic to make it quick and convenient?"
The strange Buddha looked at Chen Xuan's back, which was not very broad, but always felt that the person in front of him was extremely tall and majestic. It could no longer see the whole picture and could only follow behind, step by step, to find the truth.
Chen Xuan sat cross-legged, chanting Buddhist scriptures, his eyes calm and his face filled with compassion for the world.
"You are also a being close to the Dao Master. If you want to seek the true method, why don't you explore my memory, which is more convenient and quicker?"
Chen Xuan didn't look back, but spoke with a chuckle.
The somewhat blurry face of the strange Buddha frowned: "If you force the truth, no matter how true it is, it will become false."
This sentence is similar to the sincerity that Chen Xuan had said before, and it is also the truth that Gui Fo gradually realized.
Chen Xuan smiled faintly: "You follow me, act like a disciple, and are humble and seek the truth. Isn't it the same?"
"It's just that what you seek is the true Buddha's faith, and what it seeks is the harmony between humans and demons."
"Since it is what we want, why force it?"
The strange Buddha frowned slightly and remained silent. He just stood in the shadow, with his hands clasped together and a thoughtful look in his eyes.
As if he had seen what the strange Buddha was thinking, Chen Xuan stood up from the ground and gently patted the dust off:
"What you seek is the highest way, and what it seeks is the way to survive. Although the ways are different, there is no distinction between high and low."
"If you think your ambition is greater than its good intentions, then you are truly attached to appearances."
The strange Buddha was slightly startled, remained silent for a long time, and slowly exhaled.
"What Master Jieyin said is absolutely right... I have always been pursuing the true Buddha's truth, believing that this is the most precious path in the world, superior to all the mundane paths; but I never thought that the path of goodness and harmony pursued by the evil demons is also the most precious concept in their hearts."
"If you have a condescending attitude, praise yourself and step on others, it's like a leaf blocking your view, and you can never see the end of the road clearly!"
Chen Xuan chuckled. He neither praised nor opposed the strange Buddha's "enlightenment". He remained silent, like a piece of wood or stone.
For the strange Buddha, this road to find Buddha may have just broken through the fog. The mountain path is rugged and the scenery it wants to see on the mountain is still far away.
A cold wind was blowing outside, and the candlelight was flickering.
Chen Xuan put on an outer coat from his simple bag and gently closed the doors and windows, as if he was going to extinguish the candle and take a rest.
The strange Buddha watched silently, nodding and shaking his head, with both understanding and confusion in his heart.
With its vision, it can naturally see that Chen Xuan has the heart of a great Buddha, a strong Buddha nature, and unfathomable cultivation, and he almost possesses the status of a great Buddha in the world.
Such a person cannot be trapped by the so-called system alone, he is extremely special. Even if he is not an immortal, he can fight against immortals, and even if he is not a god, he can call on gods. With the great status of the fruit, even if the wind and fire from the sky and the earth come to burn him, or the thunder and demons approach him, it is like a breeze blowing on his face, and he remains unmoved.
Since the great catastrophe and chaos, disasters have continued. Chen Xuan and Anshan have a clear division of labor. They take their disciples to guard the northern land and travel around the world to eliminate disasters and misfortunes.
In front of the Buddhist master Jie Yin, who had attained the status of a great Buddha, the northern region was relatively stable. Whenever a disaster occurred, Chen Xuan would arrive right after and resolve it quickly, without ever being bothered or feeling troubled.
However, such a special Buddha in the eyes of the strange Buddha is now resting in a dilapidated temple in the mountains. When the cold wind comes at night, he still closes the doors and windows and tightens his clothes; the candles in the temple are about to go out, but he does not add any more light, but extinguishes the candles and takes a rest...
Everything he did was natural and ordinary, just like that of an ordinary person, which made Gui Buddha both enlightened and confused.
And Chen Xuan never explained it. The truth of everything was left to Guifo's heart of seeking Buddha to carefully comprehend.
The night wind is deep and the stars are gradually disappearing.
In the middle of the night, Chen Xuan sat up from the mat, fiddling with his fingers, as if he was deducing something, with a slightly frown on his brows.
"I have something that I need your help with."
After some consideration, Chen Xuan decided to stay in the northern region to maintain control of the situation.
Since following Chen Xuan to experience the various aspects of the mortal world, this was the first time that Guifo saw Chen Xuan frowning, and he was immediately curious.
"What do you need me for?"
Chen Xuan silently pinched his fingers, and the lotus seal gradually took shape on his fingertips.
"More than 300,000 miles to the north and west, outside the former Wuji Secret Realm, Li Yuan was fighting fiercely with that strange creature. Suddenly, a variable entered the scene. I'm afraid the situation is not favorable."
"You are also a strange thought, and you have similarities with strange creatures. Are you willing to go for me and help Li Yuan kill that big strange thing?"
The moment the eerie Buddha figure heard Li Yuan's name, his brows furrowed, his face full of resistance and complexity.
If Li Yuan had not deliberately provoked the North Sea Weird Buddha and awakened the remnant of the Human Emperor, how could their gradually powerful Weird Buddha force have suffered such a severe blow? The remnant of the Human Emperor came into the world and wiped out most of the top powerhouses in the world in one fell swoop, shocking the world and causing the North Sea Weird Buddha to never recover from that!
Many of the strange Buddha obsessions that had returned from the years with difficulty were destroyed in that battle. Even it itself was deliberately spared by the remains of the Human Emperor, and only then was it able to save its life!
"But is there hatred?"
Chen Xuan's words seemed to be a question he asked despite knowing the answer, but the meaning behind them made Guifo guess for a long time.
"It is the will of the people and the trend of the times. There is also the game of the emperor behind the scenes, and the secrets are linked... How dare I hate a small tricky Buddha..."
"It's all because our obsessions have changed over the years, and we no longer have the original intentions we had before we were born. We have broken the rules, messed up our behavior, and brought trouble upon ourselves."
The blurry and eerie Buddha figure sighed softly, with a helpless and sad tone in his voice.
Chen Xuan also sighed silently, but he didn't know what he was sighing about. Was it his obsession to restore Buddhism, or his wrong return?
"Master Jieyin, don't worry. I am willing to go and help Li Yuan. I... Alas, I am a dull disciple and still need teaching. When I return, I hope Master Jieyin will still teach me about this wrong and strange idea..."
The strange Buddha figure clasped his hands and bowed to Chen Xuan. Although he was obsessed with the true Buddha and was extremely noble, he still had a pure heart of a disciple in order to find the true Buddha's ultimate path.
