Zha Kun paused. He opened his mouth and took a deep breath. The water in the teacup flowed into his mouth. He said, "Little friend's Buddhist cultivation is profound. Do you know what the path of the heart is?"
Luo Kai first nodded and then shook his head. The ancient sages' understanding of the world and the world and the heart was still above the materialistic modern society. In his previous life, he had only read a lot of Buddhist scriptures and didn't study them in depth. It was only in this life that he inadvertently understood a little.
Zha Kun's pitch black eyes looked up as if he could see through the roof and into the sky. His face revealed a look of yearning. He softly said, "The heart contains the infinite changes of the world. When it is quiet, the sky is clear and the wind is calm. When it is chaotic, there is thunder and rain. When it is gloomy, there are dark clouds. The seven emotions and six desires are unpredictable. If you can freely control the power of the heart, then everything in the world will be in your control!"
Luo Kai's heart stirred. He faintly touched upon something.
"Buddhism focuses on the path of the heart to control the path of matter. There is no need for the body to be tempered. The Bodhi Sarira contains a supreme method. Even if an ordinary person obtains it, they can immediately become a saint …"
He paused for a moment and then said, "But there is an even greater chance of becoming a demon!"
Luo Kai came back to his senses. The word 'demon' had many meanings. From a moral perspective, there was an angel and a demon in a human's heart. They were the two sides of good and evil. From a material perspective, it could be understood as genetic instincts. Most creatures' instincts were to benefit themselves. The greed, anger, and foolishness of the Buddhists all came from this. For ordinary people, this was the way to conduct themselves. But for those with great strength, if they couldn't overcome their own desires, then they would have entered the path of the demon.
Zha Kun's expression became serious. He continued, "These years, not only has the Heavenly Thunder Palace been fighting for the Bodhi Sarira, the evil sects have also been eyeing it covetously. The Body Technique Association and the Longyang Temple all have evil intentions. If the Bodhi Sarira falls into the hands of those who don't cultivate Buddhism, then a 'demon' will be born in this world. A 'demon' is the best at controlling people's hearts.
Luo Kai sighed lightly and said, "Didn't you say that you have already passed it on to a disciple of the Luozha Sect?"
Zha Kun shook his head, "What this disciple cultivates is a body transformation technique. Although his combat strength is incomparably tyrannical, he is unable to control the inherited memories within the Bodhi Relic. He has already fallen into a deep slumber for several years and his consciousness is on the verge of fading away. A storm of blood is about to rise once more!"
Luo Kai closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. This Bodhi Sarira should be similar to the Book of the Universe that Yunshan had given him. It was similar to a first-person game where one could experience other people's lives. The difference was that the immersion was too deep. If one was too immersed in it, they would not be able to extricate themselves and would not even know if they died. Even with his tenacity, he was still immersed in it for a long time. He opened his eyes and said, "Master, you should be clear about my situation.
I am unable to help you. "" Haha, little friend, if you have the heart, you will definitely be able to help. I see that little friend's body is like that of a newborn baby. You were born with all nine orifices opened. In terms of talent, there is no one in the world that can surpass you. Your Buddhist cultivation has also reached the state of insight.
Luo Kai was stunned. He pointed at himself and said, "You want to give me the Bodhi Sarira?"
Zha Kun nodded heavily, "That's right. Most of the elders in the Moke Sect who have profound Buddhist cultivation are already old. Not only are their bodies old, but their minds are also in their twilight years. They are not suitable for the Sarira inheritance. That is why they gave the Kasyapa Sect an excuse. As long as little friend is willing to join the Moke Sect, we will definitely help you obtain the Sarira inheritance!"
Luo Kai waved his hand tiredly, "I am not interested in this."
He stood up and walked outside. The depths of his consciousness were filled with the inheritance memories of the Book of the Universe. He had not explored them all this time because he hated being influenced by others. This Bodhi Sarira must be the same. It was good to be able to obtain the cultivation memories of the ancestors. The bits and pieces of understanding within could save one years or even decades of cultivation. It could be said that it was the only thing that could rely on external things to make one's mind grow. However, his path of cultivation was completely different from others. He could only find his way forward by himself.
Zha Kun said faintly behind him, "Little friend, your appearance at this time means that you are the chosen one. This is your destiny."
Luo Kai stopped in his tracks and looked back expressionlessly, "I choose my own destiny."
…
As he walked out of the temple, snowflakes began to fall from the sky and the temperature rapidly dropped. His consciousness floated into the sky along with the snowflakes. Endless cold currents surged around him, making it impossible for him to do anything. It seemed that even the person who controlled the weather could not resist the rolling cold currents. This meant that the cold currents were omnidirectional and could not change the overall situation. This sort of large-scale climate change was not something that could be done by humans. It was most likely the doing of 'that' existence!
Compared to the tranquility of the temple, the outside was much more lively. Many people lined up in the square in front of the temple, enduring the bitter cold as they waited. The old monk was sitting there, giving them a diagnosis.
The old monk had a kind face and a gentle gaze. His slightly turbid eyes seemed to have seen through everything. His old body seemed to contain an indescribable strength.
Luo Kai stopped in his tracks. Compared to Zha Kun, this old monk's Buddhist cultivation was a bit lower. However, he was more like an ordinary person without the slightest sense of aloofness. Zha Kun was like a white lotus blooming on a snowy mountain, quiet and proud, focusing on his own heart. On the other hand, the old monk was like a wild grass, indistinguishable from the rest of the world. These were the two philosophies of Buddhism.
It was the turn of a yellow-skinned man. The old monk first checked his pulse. After a moment of silence, he stood up and lifted the man's clothes. The man's chest and abdomen were covered with dense poisonous boils. It was a horrifying sight.
The crowd behind him hurriedly retreated in fright. However, they did not make any noise, as if they were afraid of disturbing the old monk.
The old monk returned to his seat and sat down. He reached out and grabbed the man's wrist. Then, he began to chant.
The sound of the Buddhist sutra was illusory. It seemed to come from beyond the heavens, but it also seemed to come from everyone's heart. It instantly resonated with everyone's minds. The world fell silent. Only the deep and solemn chanting of the sutra could be heard.
The man covered in poisonous boils had a pained expression. His forehead was covered with sweat. He suppressed his urge to make a sound. An unbelievable scene occurred. The poisonous boils on his chest and abdomen burst open one by one. Thick liquid flowed out, and in a moment, his skin returned to normal.
Luo Kai was secretly surprised. Spiritual energy was an omnipotent force. On the material plane, it could form an invisible force field in the void to defend against enemies or attacks. It could also move objects through space, compress tiny molecules, and so on. As long as one's spiritual energy was strong enough, they could do anything they wanted.
However, it was different for living beings. It was still okay for them to sense consciousness on the spiritual plane. He could easily make others not pay attention to him or even forget about him. However, he could not directly affect the changes in the body. Every living being had a firewall system. If it was forcefully invaded, it would damage the other person's consciousness. However, this old monk could actually cure and detoxify people.
Next, the old monk treated the patients one by one. No matter if it was a common fever, cold, or inflammatory disease, he could easily cure them. It was not until the afternoon that he stopped in exhaustion. He stood up and walked towards the temple door. When he walked in front of Luo Kai, he stopped. He raised his head and looked at the falling snowflakes in the sky. He let out a long sigh and said, "All living beings suffer. We are no exception."
Luo Kai reached out and caught a snowflake. He asked, "Is there a way to solve this?" He meant how to solve the climate change.
It was unknown whether the old monk understood or not. He said with a solemn face, "Only by cultivating!"
