Although Chen Xuanzang said that he gave up the road to the west, in fact, he did not betray Buddhism, let alone return to the world, so when he saw a monk, he always had to pay more attention.

Besides, it was already dark, and the old monk was carrying a lantern, and the candle flame was still very noticeable in the dark.

Chen Xuanzang looked at the old monk carefully, and he seemed to be seventy or eighty years old, with wrinkles on his face, but his body didn't look rickety at all, and his face also gave people a quiet and peaceful feeling.

A simple green cloth robe, it seems that it has been washed many times, it is a little white, and a pair of mango shoes look very shabby, but what Chen Xuanzang paid the most attention to was this old monk, although he was wearing a lantern, he was walking with his eyes closed.

"Hello master, ......", looking at this quiet and peaceful old monk, Chen Xuanzang thought for a while, walked a few steps forward, and said hello.

"Amitabha, hello donor", hearing this, the old monk's footsteps stopped and replied.

"Master, where are you going?" , Seeing that the old monk was really closed, Chen Xuanzang asked.

How can anyone walk with their eyes closed like this? Aren't you afraid of getting lost?

"Coming and going, all in this world, how can there be any difference between each other? Go where you go, everything is as it is", for Chen Xuanzang's words, the old monk replied with a calm smile on his face.

"Uh......".

The old monk's answer made Chen Xuanzang slightly stunned, then looked at the old monk's closed eyes, and said, "Then master, why are you walking with your eyes closed?" Aren't you afraid of getting lost? ”。

"What the poor monk practices is the mind-eye meditation, leaving aside the mortal womb with the naked eye, and looking at the whole world with the mind's eye, just ask, if the mind eye will get lost, how can the naked eye not get lost?" , Regarding Chen Xuanzang's question, the old monk replied quietly.

I don't know if these words mean something, in short, for his words, Chen Xuanzang felt very touched, if he can't see through it with his heart and eyes, how can he not get lost with the naked eye?

Lost, the word seems to have other meanings, and Chen Xuanzang couldn't help but think of his own experience.

Have you ever gotten lost? Thinking of this, Chen Xuanzang actually stood as if he was demented.

"Amitabha, mortal with the naked eye, obscure, unreal, unreal, it is inevitable to get lost, as long as you can polish your eyes and see clearly the way you want to go, turn back is the shore."

It seemed that he couldn't see Chen Xuanzang's stunned appearance, and the old monk spoke, and these words also interrupted Chen Xuanzang's thoughts that seemed to be mushy in his mind.

was interrupted by this old monk, Chen Xuanzang seemed to have gained, but he was also inexplicable about what he had gained.

Looking at the lantern in the old monk's hand, Chen Xuanzang said: "So, since you are practicing the Heart Eye Zen, Master, and you have abandoned the mortal fetus with the naked eye, then why are you wearing a lantern?" ”。

"Amitabha, the lamp is to burn oneself and illuminate others, although I close my eyes and no longer need the lamp, but all sentient beings do", for Chen Xuanzang's words, the old monk replied, and the words seemed to contain endless Zen opportunities.

Gollum......

It's just that the old monk's words were finished, and suddenly, his stomach rang.

Such a situation made Chen Xuanzang laugh out loud and said, "Master, I think you're hungry too, aren't you?" How about going to my house for dinner? ”。

"Then there is a labor almsgist", touched his stomach, the old monk also looked a little embarrassed, but did not refuse, and immediately followed Chen Xuanzang and returned to the small mountain village where he was.

The villagers in the village are very enthusiastic, and people who come and go also greet Chen Xuanzang, showing that his popularity in the village is still very good.

Seeing that Chen Xuanzang brought an old monk home, Miss Duan didn't say anything, it happened that there were still a lot of leftovers at noon, barely enough for three people to eat.

Chen Xuanzang still respects such a monk who seems to be kind, and at the dinner table, the two talked about Buddhism, but the atmosphere was really strong, and even many of the questions that Chen Xuanzang had been puzzled about, the old monk could actually tell it, which made Chen Xuanzang even more admired.

It's just that just when everyone in this small mountain village was having dinner, and the mountain village seemed very quiet in the dark night, suddenly a scream rang out: "There are bandits coming."

The shouts and screams were endless, and hearing such movements, Chen Xuanzang and the others ran out of the house.

Sure enough, I saw dozens of mountain bandits and bandits, riding fierce horses, holding steel knives in their hands and slashing, without the slightest mercilessness, and the villagers screamed and were killed, cold-blooded and ruthless.

Seeing the fierce and ruthless appearance of these bandits, Chen Xuanzang and Miss Duan naturally couldn't stand idly by.

Although the power of the Dragon Ball system has been withdrawn by Dongfang Yu, Chen Xuanzang's fighting ability is still very good, after all, he is an exorcist himself.

Of course, that young lady is stronger, and her ability is definitely first-class even among exorcists.

However, the leader of this bandit is actually extraordinary, and the controller knife flies in the air, and the means are similar to those of the empty boy.

Even if Chen Xuanzang and Miss Duan joined forces, they were not his opponents, and they were defeated after fighting for a while.

Seeing that Chen Xuanzang and Miss Duan were defeated, and when a little boy on the other side was about to die under the steel knife, the old monk suddenly rushed out and held the little boy in his arms.

However, the old monk himself was also stabbed in the back, and the blood flowed for a long time.

"Amitabha, donor, why do you want to kill evil?"

He was slashed in the back, but the old monk didn't seem to feel it, but said to the thief quietly.

"Yo? There's a blind old bald donkey here, and it's really merciful."

Looking at the appearance of this old monk, the bandit leader next to him looked a little interested, and said with a smile.

"Master, run quickly, these bandits are very powerful", seeing that the old monk was slashed, he didn't run yet, wanting to influence the appearance of these bandits, Chen Xuanzang next to him shouted urgently.

"Amitabha, the old man is not blind, just practicing the heart and eye Zen, donor, the so-called put down the butcher's knife, stand on the ground ......", put his hands together, the old monk pronounced a Buddha name, and said patiently.

"Don't talk so much nonsense!" It's just that before the old monk's words were finished, the bandit leader interrupted him unceremoniously with a wave of his hand and said, "Heart eye Zen? I've heard that, very well, since your old monk is compassionate, then how about you open your eyes? If I open my eyes, how about I let these villagers go? ”。

The words of the bandit leader silenced the old monk.

After years of penance, the mind and eye meditation cannot see this world with the naked eye, otherwise, once the eyes are opened, many years of practice will be ruined.

"Hahaha, I thought you bald asses were really so compassionate, it turned out to be on yourself, and that's it."

Seeing that the old monk stopped talking, the leader of the bandits couldn't help laughing, and the other bandits also laughed one after another.

"Amitabha, I hope that the donor will speak for the sake of words", however, at this moment, the old monk suddenly spoke.

His words made the laughter of the thieves stop abruptly, and in an instant, in everyone's eyes, I saw the old monk's eyelids tremble slightly, and then slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were a little cloudy, and it seemed that he hadn't opened his eyes for many years.

"You ......", the bandit leader, obviously didn't expect that this old monk would really open his eyes and ruin his years of cultivation, and he was a little stunned.

It's just that the bandit leader immediately looked annoyed and angry, and said: "This doesn't count, if you don't open your eyes as a bald donkey, you will also die, you don't open your eyes for others, but for yourself, this doesn't count!" ”。

Seeing that the old monk opened his eyes and ruined his practice of Eye Zen because of the villagers, Chen Xuanzang's heart was very touched, but at this moment, when he heard that this bandit leader actually repented, he couldn't help but shout: "Your words don't count, this master has opened his eyes and ruined his own practice, you actually went back on his word, what kind of hero are you?" ”。

"Hahaha, I'm not a hero, I'm just a thief", but for Chen Xuanzang's big feet, this thief didn't think so.

As he spoke, the steel knife in his hand flew up, suspended in mid-air, and he looked like he was about to drive his knife to kill.

"Amitabha, the donor thinks that I opened my eyes, not to save others, but just to save myself, since this is the case, then I will prove to the donor, I did not open my eyes to save myself, how about it?"

It's just that at this time, the old monk who opened his eyes spoke.

"Oh? How do you prove it? ”。

Listening to the old monk's words, the bandit leader's movements paused, and he looked at the old monk with a funny smile and asked.

Without saying much, the old monk reached into his arms, and immediately took out a small knife, looking at the movements of this old monk, several thieves were a little vigilant.

Poof!

Blood splattered, and I saw that the old monk actually stabbed this knife directly into his heart.

Blood overflowed from the corners of the old monk's mouth, but his expression was still kind, looking at the bandit leader, and said, "How is it?" This benefactor? Now, can you keep your promise? ”。

Quiet!

At this time, don't say that the villagers next to them, even these murderous bandits, looking at the old monk's behavior of ignoring life and death, they are all dumbfounded.

The bandit leader, who was controlling his steel knife and ready to attack at any time, was also a little dumbfounded, quietly looking at the old monk with a pleasant face and generous death, and his heart was also shaken.

His face turned blue and white for a while, and finally, the thief put away his knife: "Okay, master, for the sake of your compassionate face today, I will leave ......."
