A smiling old monk with white eyebrows and beard suddenly stepped out of the void. His voice was as loud as the roar of a lion. He held a golden staff in one hand and a Buddha alms bowl in the other. His red kasaya fluttered even though there was no wind. It was as if Vajra had descended to the mortal world. Who else could it be other than Fahai?
"Fahai!" Bai Suzhen's eyes turned cold as she shielded Xu Xian behind her.
"It's me!"
Fahai looked at Bai Suzhen and a golden light flashed in his eyes. "Bai Suzhen, I should have taken you in back then!"
"Then why don't you come and try!" Bai Suzhen gathered darkness in her hand.
Xu Xian held her wrist tightly. "Wife, don't forget what you promised me!"
"But!"
Bai Suzhen looked into his eyes. There was an unwavering will in them. However, Fahai's mana was already strong. Now that he had the Buddha's golden alms bowl in his hand, even among the deities, there were not many who could defeat him.
Xu Xian stepped forward and bowed. "It's been a long time since we last met, Master's cultivation has become more profound.
I wonder what's the purpose of your visit this time!
Don't tell me you want to make things difficult for us! "
Fahai looked deeply at Xu Xian. "It's rare that you're still willing to call me Master. I've made some achievements in the Path of Destiny. You've encountered a problem in your cultivation. If you don't cultivate Sarira, you're not a Buddhist disciple, so I've specially come here to give you some pointers."
Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen looked at each other. Since when did Fahai become so helpful? Someone brought a pillow just when he was about to doze off. What was he up to?
Fahai coughed lightly. "I'm going to face my tribulation soon, so I've come to ask for a Golden Dragon Pill."
Xu Xian finally understood that Fahai came all the way here for this reason. There was no need for him to act like he was facing a formidable enemy.
He immediately took out a Dragon-Tiger Golden Pill and handed it to Fahai. "Congratulations, Master!"
After all, taking Fahai as his master was not a righteous thing to begin with. He obtained many orthodox Buddhist techniques for free and delayed the battle for many days before he finally won. It could be said that he was bullying the old monk for not knowing the plot.
Bai Suzhen said, "Fahai, one Golden Dragon Pill is more than enough to pay you back for the Expansion Immortal Pills. Now, we don't owe each other anything, so don't come and disturb us again."
Fahai, however, ignored her and placed the golden pill into the alms bowl. He said to Xu Xian, "I can sense it with my destiny. You will eventually bear a great disaster for this evildoer!"
Xu Xian grabbed Bai Suzhen's hand and said with a smile, "This evildoer is my wife and also the mother of my future child!"
Bai Suzhen's expression softened and she returned to her original state.
Fahai said, "Since you have made up your mind, I won't try to persuade you anymore. I can only tell you that your doom is near.
But your divine incantations do not have a Sarira as the foundation, so they are still superficial and not systematic.
If this goes on, you won't be able to take another step forward. It is already a blessing to be able to cultivate the Heart's Connection and the Formation Incantation. Don't even think about taking another step forward. "
Xu Xian said, "Disciple also wanted to ask for guidance. Is there no other way?"
Fahai said, "I will teach you the Golden Lotus Planting Technique in the Fire. It can be used together with the power of the stars!"
The two of them then went to the quiet room together. Bai Suzhen stood guard outside the door.
After two hours, Xu Xian walked out of the room with a face full of joy. Many of the problems he faced in his cultivation had been solved. Most importantly, he had understood the path of forming Sarira.
Fahai said, "I hope that after you have cultivated Sarira, you will be able to see your true nature and understand the principle of 'form is emptiness, emptiness is form'!" After saying this, he stepped on the void and left like how he came.
Xu Xian hurriedly asked, "Master, how do I use this technique?"
Fahai said, "When you have cultivated the Deity State and the Formation Incantation, you will naturally be able to do it!" After saying this, the light and shadows disappeared.
Bai Suzhen said, "Sir, have you understood it?"
Xu Xian nodded and said, "I will try it now!" He then returned to the room and sat cross-legged to meditate.
Just as he closed his eyes, he felt Bai Suzhen nudge him. He opened his eyes again and asked, "What is it?"
Bai Suzhen said with some worry, "It is said that Sarira not only gathers spiritual power, but also gathers spiritual power. It makes the mind clear. Don't tell me you have suddenly understood the principle of 'form is emptiness, emptiness is form'?"
Xu Xian laughed and said, "With your charm, even if I become a deity, I will not be able to resist it.
If I accidentally understand something, I will have to trouble you to lure me back! "
Bai Suzhen knew that her worry was unnecessary. She blushed and let him cultivate.
Xu Xian slowly withdrew his essence, Qi, and spirit. Suddenly, he came to a dark universe. This universe did not have an endless sea of stars. There were only three stars revolving around a sun. He knew that this was the world of his spirit, and he was now only a spiritual thought.
Usually, when he looked inside his spirit, he looked at it from a macro perspective. He rarely looked at it from this angle. He only felt that it was extremely vast, as if it was a real universe.
He flew towards the blazing exploding sun, but as soon as he neared it, he felt an unbearable heat. Although this was his home star and he could freely use the energy within it, it was also an amalgamation of Sun Spirit energy. His divine soul could withstand this kind of heat, but that did not mean that his mind and thoughts could as well.
As for the so-called Planting Golden Lotus in the Fire Technique, it required him to put his spirit into this sun to burn and condense it.
If he could withstand it, he would be able to train his spirit and condense a Sarira at the core of the home star. The effect was even stronger than using normal methods to condense a Sarira.
However, if he could not withstand it, his spirit would be damaged. Not only would he not be able to condense a Sarira, but his cultivation would also be stagnant.
Xu Xian could not help but think of a saying, "Going against the odds and being poor is a furnace to train a hero.
Those who can be tempered by it will benefit both their body and mind. Those who are not tempered by it will suffer both their body and mind. "
Chen Lun, who he had seen today, was obviously unable to withstand it. His good temperament and personality had been worn down beyond recognition.
"Then let's see if I can withstand it!"
Xu Xian muttered and flew towards the depths of the sun. Blazing golden flames burst and burned beside him. The tongues of fire licked at his body, causing him to feel a bone-deep pain. He did not dare to stop for even a moment. However, from this angle, this sun was far too big. He did not know how long he had flown, but he still had not reached its core.
Suddenly, his clothes were ignited, and the flames rapidly spread to his entire body. Xu Xian's heart trembled. He knew that his spirit was beginning to be damaged. At this time, even if he wanted to retreat, it was already too late.
He did not cower in the slightest. He focused all his attention on flying forward. Suddenly, the scene before his eyes widened. He had already arrived at the center of the home star.
The flames rapidly dissipated in all directions, forming a circular cavity that burned fiercely like a cauldron.
Xu Xian stood in the center and gently closed his eyes. Various scenes appeared on the wall of flames. There were modern skyscrapers, classical bridges, and flowing rivers. Memories of this life came pouring in, and even the digested memories of his previous life. For a moment, the wall was filled with all kinds of strange and dazzling scenes. They gradually distorted and melted in the burning flames. The flames once again pressed down on Xu Xian from all directions, drowning Xu Xian with a loud rumble.
At the last moment, Xu Xian opened his eyes and looked at his palms, revealing a smile.
"Sir, sir!" A gentle call and a gentle shake awakened Xu Xian's consciousness.
Xu Xian opened his eyes, and there was a tranquility that was as gentle as jade in them. He began to recite, "All lovey-dovey meetings are unpredictable and difficult to last long. There are many fears in life, and life is in danger like the morning dew. Love gives birth to worry, and love gives birth to fear. If one is separated from one's lover, there is no worry or fear."
"Sir, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Xian smiled faintly, "It's nothing. I just suddenly comprehended a lot of things.
My dear wife, our meeting was actually just a matter of fate, but both of us were too obsessed with it.
Thinking back to before we met, we were both free and unrestrained. But after we met, we were filled with all kinds of worries. Don't you realize that? "
Bai Suzhen's whole body trembled, revealing a look of disbelief, "You mean …"
"I'm willing to shave my head and become a monk. I'm willing to follow Zen Master Fahai. The morning bell, the night drum, the green lamp, and the ancient Buddha."
Bai Suzhen grabbed his shoulder, "Have you forgotten Yan 'er, Qing' er, Xiaoqian, Pan Yu, and me?
And our children? "
"Those are all ill-fated relationships. I can't forget them. I can't break them. I'll cut off my emotions with the sword of wisdom!" Xu Xian said and was about to stand up and walk out.
Bai Suzhen felt a pain in her heart. She suddenly lowered her head and kissed his lips. She somewhat clumsily put her fragrant tongue into his mouth and pulled his hand to press it against her chest.
A smile suddenly appeared on Xu Xian's lips. He put her fragrant tongue in his mouth, turned over and pressed her under his body. He used his hand to gently knead her straight and soft breasts. Although they were separated by a layer of gauze, that kind of warm and elastic feeling still filled his palm.
Bai Suzhen opened her eyes in surprise, but only saw that his eyes were full of mischievous smiles. Only then did she know that he was teasing her. She angrily pushed him away and turned her back.
"My wife, my wife, you're really angry!" Xu Xian shook her shoulder, "Is it not enough for me to apologize?"
Bai Suzhen couldn't stand his soft pleading. She turned around and said with a cold face, "Don't make such a joke in the future. You don't know how uncomfortable my heart was just now. I was so afraid that one day you would really …"
However, Xu Xian saw that the corners of her eyes were a little moist. His heart shook. He lowered his head and pitifully kissed away the traces of tears at the corners of her eyes. The Dharma was right. Love made people stupid. Otherwise, with their temperament, how could they be so easily deceived and even cry?
Xu Xian whispered a few words in Bai Suzhen's ear. Bai Suzhen was surprised and said, "Really?"
Xu Xian smiled and nodded. In the sea of fire on the main Sun Star, the Sarira had already condensed. It was transparent and not tainted by a single speck of dust. This was proof that he had understood the past and present lives and had seen his true nature.
And in the center of the Sarira, there was a bright red knot.
Bai Suzhen said, "I was wondering why I felt something, but you said it as if it was real. Why did you even recite Zen poems!"
Xu Xian held her shoulders and held her softness, "Even if we can't be together forever, I'm only willing to hold on for a moment longer.
No matter how much sorrow and fear there is, I will walk down this path with you. "
When Bai Suzhen heard this, her eyes were as gentle as water. She leaned on his shoulder.
Xu Xian smiled and said, "But I didn't expect that my wife would really seduce me!"
"Isn't it all because of you!"
Bai Suzhen was embarrassed, but she felt that Xu Xian was coming to untie her belt. She hurriedly said, "Official, it's already the fifth watch."
