Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Ran and the monk just stood under the rising sun, looking at each other from a distance of three to five feet. Neither of them expressed any expression, just like two lifeless wooden stakes.  As a Taoist priest with no roots and no magic power, the only thing Zhao Ran could rely on was his own magic circle, but he did not dare to act rashly. He was afraid that his small and random movements would cause the opponent to attack.  And before the magic circle is set up, as long as the monk on the opposite side takes action, he may be buried here.

    Calm down, calm down again, Zhao Ran kept repeating this word in his mind, forcing himself to calm down. He kept a smile on his face, but the Taoist robe on his back was soaked with sweat.

    I don¡¯t know how long it took, but the monk suddenly let go of the centipede he was holding on his fingers and let the insect burrow into the crack under the stone. Then he slowly put his hands together and said: "Amitabha, this poor monk has met the Taoist Master.  "

    Zhao Ran slowly bowed his head and saluted: "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, I have seen the monk before." When Jishou bent down, he took a step forward, his wide sleeves and robe covered him in front, and the jade seal quietly slipped to the ground.  This formation that was chosen in a hurry is certainly not the best choice, but under the current situation, it is a good thing that it can be deployed.

    The monk smiled and said: "The scenery here is excellent, and God has made it beautiful today. It is a rare opportunity to enjoy the scenery. Is the Taoist priest also here to enjoy the mountains and rivers? In this case, it is the same as the poor monk."

    Are you telling me that you don¡¯t want to fight with me?  Can't he see that I have no bones and no magic power in me?

    While making random guesses, Zhao Ran said with a smile: "Exactly, look at the distant mountains as green as black" He pointed to the snowy mountains in the distance with his left hand and threw the wooden ruler, "Look at the sky as green as blue" Throwed out with his right hand  Jin Jian continued to talk nonsense: "It's a good time to enjoy it, but it's a pity that I didn't bring any wine" He spread his hands, and the cinnabar and water drop chains flew out, "I can't enjoy it to the fullest."

    The tube was moved for a while, and then put the French array before talking.

    The monk smiled and said: "That's right, but it's a pity that there is no wine Haha By the way, Taoist priest, you seemed to have dropped something on the ground just now. How about I help Taoist priest pick it up?"

    Zhao Ran also laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, I accidentally dropped the object, which made the great monk laugh. The object can't escape, it's not too late to pick it up later."

    Hearing this, the monk laughed along with him for a moment, then suddenly said with a bitter look on his face: "To be honest with you, Master, this young monk is actually here for my master." He pointed to the ground and said, "This young monk came with my master to look for medicine.  This golden-winged centipede is a good medicine. I caught it just now, but unfortunately I didn't catch it and it ran away. After a while, my master came and I didn't know how to punish him."

    Zhao Ran was startled at first, and then couldn't help but laugh. This time he smiled sincerely.

    If this monk¡¯s master was really nearby, would he tell himself?  Obviously not, so this monk was obviously trying to intimidate him, and he was doing what Zhao Ran often did before - pulling a tiger's skin to make a banner.  Do you need to intimidate me, a layman with no roots and no cultivation? Of course not, what does this mean? It means that the monk opposite cannot see his true identity, and he also dares not take action against him.

    Zhao Ran once asked Zhu Qigu for advice on this issue. Zhu Qigu described to him some general methods of how the spiritual world judges the strength of opponents.

    According to Zhu Qigu, Taoists only need to look at their foundation and qualifications to judge whether a person can become a practitioner. Buddhism also has a corresponding term for this, that is, enlightenment - which is actually almost the same thing.  Of course, there are some differences. For example, Taoism has higher requirements for foundation and qualifications, while Buddhism has lower requirements for understanding.  For ordinary people, the threshold for cultivating Buddhism is much lower than cultivating Taoism.

    "To see whether a person has the foundation and qualifications, or whether he or she has understanding, requires the ability to look inwards. You can detect all the changes in your own body, and you can also see the normal conditions in others.

    For Taoists, it is equivalent to completing the step of refining and transforming Qi, that is, entering the third level, which is called Huangguan for Taoism; for Buddhism, it is equivalent to opening the first realm of vision and consciousness, achieving the wisdom of identifying name and color,  With the wisdom of conditional absorption and the wisdom of thinking, he is qualified to enter the second realm of hearing and consciousness, and begins to practice the wisdom of arising and passing away and the wisdom of passing away and passing away, and is honored as a novice monk in Buddhism.

    But Zhu Qigu emphasized that whether this judgment is accurate depends on the monk's level of cultivation. The higher the level, the more accurate the judgment.

    "Between monks and monks, it is not that easy to judge the other's cultivation level. Unless your opponent's level is very different from yours, it will be difficult to make a clear judgment.  Even if you can roughly determine the level of the opponent's cultivation realm, you cannot rely on this judgment to cast spells, because although the level of the realm is the basis for measuring the strength of the fighting method, it does not completely represent the opponent's strength.  There are many other factors that need to be considered, such as whether the skills practiced are mutually exclusive, the power of the magical weapons held by both parties, and the effectiveness of the fight.Non-strength factors such as skill and experience, physical condition during the fight, and even luck are also very important.

    Therefore, Zhao Ran quickly made a preliminary judgment on the strength of the monk in front of him: Since the other party cannot see through him, it means that at most he is a monk who has opened the world of sight and knowledge, and definitely cannot reach the world of ear knowledge.

    Zhao Ran himself has no Taoist skills, but thanks to Zhu Qigu's careful guidance for more than half a month, he has become quite proficient in the use of formations.  Although the formation weapon was low-grade, his understanding of the formation was at a very high level from the beginning.  And he has killed many mountain spirits and monsters these days, which shows that he has initially acquired the ability to fight with people.

    Zhao Ran has some experience and skills in facing enemies, but can this experience and skills guarantee his victory in a battle with the monk in front of him?  Zhao Ran was not sure about this.  However, this did not prevent him from having the idea to give it a try. The first time he had a life-and-death fight with someone, he met a monk whose cultivation level should be relatively low and who seemed to be a little afraid of fighting. Isn't this the best thing God had given him to increase his experience points?  Good opportunity?

    The nutritious nonsense continued for a while, and the topic became bigger and bigger, and began to involve the general trend of the world.  The monk said that he had just entered Buddhism and had no interest in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism or the war that was going on in the next summer.  He believes that practitioners should focus on themselves and should not be distracted by messy things.

    Zhao Ran fully agreed with this. He expressed his incomprehension about the differences between Buddhism and Taoism in a strong tone, and expressed deep regret for the suffering caused by the war to the people.  He believes that a person's lifespan is limited, but the path of practice is infinite. All energy should be devoted to practice to seek immortality or avoid reincarnation. This is the right path that monks should take.

    The two of them became more and more congenial. They even exchanged some insights and experiences on spiritual practice. There was a feeling that they could not wait to meet each other soon.  If Buddhism and Taoism were not different after all, they might have become brothers with different surnames on the spot.

    But partings are inevitable in life, and the monk had to leave. He said that he had to rush to see the master, otherwise there might be misunderstandings when the master came to see him, and it would not be a good idea to cause trouble.

    Zhao Ran was filled with regret and a feeling of loss.

    Before leaving, Zhao Ran took out the pen and paper from the bamboo box and left name notes with the monk so that he could visit him in the future.

    The monk clasped his hands together and said, "Taoist brothers, as young as March or May, as late as half a year, the young monk must go to Huayun Pavilion to see Taoist brothers."

    Zhao Ran bowed his head and returned the greeting: "Senior brother Jueyuan, I have to say goodbye today, and I don't know when we will see each other again. It will be a year at most. If senior brother does not come to Huayun Pavilion, I will go to Daleiguang Temple to look for him."

    "Brothers from all walks of life take this very seriously."

    "Senior brother Jueyuan takes this very seriously."

    Jueyuan took two steps back and turned around

    A ray of yellow light flew out of his neck, circled in the air, went straight to Zhao and then hit him on the head. It turned out to be a wooden fish as big as a bowl.

    Almost at the same time, the magic circle's curse came out of Zhao Ran's belly: "Within the three realms, only Tao is the only one, with a golden light in my body, reflecting my body, as urgent as a law-" The magic circle was activated instantly, and the jade seal was placed on Zhao Ran's head.  A golden light formed to block the wooden fish that was knocking down. At the same time, a whirlpool visible to the naked eye was generated in the magic circle, and it was wrapped towards Jueyuan.

    The wooden fish was blocked by the jade seal and paused in the air. The wooden mallet hit the fish's mouth continuously, making an "empty" sound. This sound had the effect of disturbing the mind. Zhao Ran felt his heartbeat getting faster and faster, almost breaking.  Out of the chest.  He managed to gather his energy, controlled the compass in his hand, pulled his energy, and the three-inch golden sword suddenly shot past Jue Yuan's bald head.

    One was vomiting blood, and the other was bleeding from the head. Zhao Ran groaned, and Jue Yuan screamed in pain. The two of them fought and it was hard to tell them apart.

    When Zhao Ran looked again, Jue Yuan had fled into the forest and disappeared, leaving only a scolding: "Niubi named Zhu, just wait, Buddha is not done with you!"

    Zhao Ran laughed: "Bald Jueyuan, the Taoist Master is waiting for you here. If you have the ability, come over and die!"
