In the city of Yangzhou, the sound of Buddha gradually grew louder.

Yangzhou has a population of 300,000, and 100,000 of them were originally attracted by the teachings on the other side of the world. After 100,000 people were distributed throughout the city, it took another half a day to draw the remaining 200,000 people into a state of confusion.

In the situation mentioned, except for the disabled and seriously ill people who cannot speak, and the young children who cannot speak clearly, there is no one in the whole city who is not chanting Buddhist scriptures.

In such a city, someone wore a navy blue robe and entered from the east gate. After stopping for a few breaths, he seemed to have a clear goal. He walked straight along the street, turned left and moved forward. Finally, at

Stopped in front of a steamed bun shop.

The owner of this bun shop is a fat man, known as Lao Feng. He is mean and bullies the weak but fears the strong. However, because he had some relationship with the Zhuhua Gang in Yangzhou in the early days, Tianyan later arranged for some helpless underage spies to be born.

, and arranged Wei Zhenzhen to be the daughter of this family.

Lao Feng didn't know Wei Zhenzhen's origins, but he knew that she was very tough behind the scenes and had connections with important people. She usually pretended to be kind outside but was very respectful inside.

Of course Yang Guang didn't know these things. But Zhu Yuyan knew.

The door of the bun shop has been opened. Lao Feng and Wei Zhenzhen, with their chests and abdomen covered with white cloth, are standing outside the door. As the people on the street chant sutras together, Yang Guang's eyes sweep across the faces of the people on the street, bypassing the old man.

Feng walked into the bun shop.

Passing through the business facade, there is a small courtyard behind the house. On the left side of the courtyard is a millstone and on the right is a well. Yang Guang came to the well, bent down and knocked on the edge of the well.

"come out."

There was some sound of waves in the calm well, and a pale-faced woman wearing a heavy veil came out of the water.

In order to avoid the enemy's search, she restrained her breath and turned herself into a stone at the bottom of the water. Her whole body was already soaked. However, the moment she came out and saw Yang Guang, she calmly used her skills to restore her body.

The dry and wet corners of clothes floated up again.

"His Majesty."

Zhu Yuyan landed next to the well and saluted. Yang Guang stretched out his hand to support her. Through his movement, the mellow heaven and earth energy turned into moist, cotton-soft energy, which penetrated into Zhu Yuyan's body from more than a dozen important acupuncture points.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhu Yuyan said, "There are about three people in this city, and the one who chants the beads is the leader. He confuses the people with his evil words, trying to cut off communication between people, and uses unknown methods to control more than 100,000 people. My demonic voice is also

Completely unable to wake up.”

"It's 300,000 now." Yang Guang raised his head and glanced toward the southeast.

In that direction, Wuxiang Dharma King sensed Zhu Yuyan's energy and flew towards him. He trembled for no reason. A face like an ice jade carving suddenly enlarged in front of his eyes, almost touching his face. He was so startled that he was struck by a dazzling thunderbolt.

, but failed to hit anything.

The Wuxiang Dharma King, whose whole body was bursting with thunder and lightning, caught a glimpse of a navy blue figure standing on his left from the corner of his eye. He shouted and punched, but it was all in vain. At the same time, from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of that figure appearing on the right.

The silhouette of the person, and the back of his neck felt cold, as if he was being stared at coldly by someone who had been standing for a long time.

"ah!"

The Wuxiang Dharma King let out a strange roar, and thunder and lightning resounded in all directions. He used his full strength and struck at the source of the sense of crisis that was constantly coming from all directions. His whole body was wrapped in the shadow of his fist and fell from the air. He stood on a

In the alley, people were nervously guarding their surroundings.

In the backyard of Baozi Pu, Yang Guang withdrew his gaze, saw that Zhu Yuyan's injury was relieved, and said: "You are seriously injured, go back to Luoyang first. I will take care of the things here."

"Yes." Zhu Yuyan nodded and flew up from the small courtyard. She flew over Yangzhou City openly and headed outside. She seemed not to be afraid of being stopped again. In fact, no one stopped her.

.

The sound of chanting sutras in Yangzhou City has become weaker at some point. It is more like starting from the street in front of the bun shop, and suddenly there is no sound.

The people who were originally standing on this street also took shelter under the eaves, making way for a clean and spacious street. At that time, Bian'an was walking on this street with a dozen people dressed as monks and nuns.

"Amitabha. Emperor Sui came in person, and the poor monk was greatly honored."

When Bian'an clasped his hands in front of the bun shop, Yang Guang walked out of the wooden door that had been opened for a long time. He glanced at the people in front of him casually and said, "What do you want to do by occupying Yangzhou and bewitching people's hearts?"

Although Shi Bian was not sure of the exact level of the person in front of him, he still looked calm and said: "I am a compassionate Buddha, so naturally I want to come to help the people."

Yang Guang took another look at the monks and nuns following him, and found that their eyes were as dull as those of the ordinary people in Yangzhou City. He shook his head imperceptibly and said, "The so-called Pu Ji means to turn them all into fools."

?"

"Actually, there is nothing wrong with being a fool." When Shi Bian said this, he actually smiled and said, "In the eyes of so-called normal people, fools are the ones who are easily bullied. They should be pitiful and must suffer. However, in fact, in

From the perspective of fools themselves, they know less and understand less, so they suffer less. They cannot seek what they want, have resentments and hate, and love and separation have nothing to do with them."

"Perhaps fools are the happiest group of people in the world." The black-haired monk shook his rosary and said, "Of course, the poor monk is not trying to turn them into fools, but to truly bring them

They are happy. Those who are ecstatic do not know anything about external things. Your Majesty thinks they are stupid, but in fact they are just too happy and too lazy to pay attention to other things."

Yang Guang showed an incomprehensible smile and said, "Here's nonsense."

"Wrong truths are also truths." Shi Bian'an smiled as if meeting a close friend and said, ""Xunzi·Ruxiao" says, it is worse to hear than to see. If your Majesty really wants to understand, why not experience it for yourself?

?”

"Okay." Yang Guang agreed readily.

Shi Bian'an didn't look surprised. From the moment Yang Guang appeared here and asked Zhu Yuyan to leave, he knew that Yang Guang couldn't let go of the residents in this city who were controlled by him.

As long as you know yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. The martial arts skills of these warriors cannot break his Buddhist magical powers. So when Bi'an offered to show his magical powers again, Yang Guang would not let go of this opportunity to get to know him deeply.

Knowing clearly that there are tigers in the mountains, traveling to the Tiger Mountains is nothing more than this.

One wants to test and find out the basics, and the other is sure to lead you into the urn. Between the two of them, they understand each other tacitly. At that time, Bian's hand twirled the glass bodhi seed, threw it up in the air, and turned into a round wheel above his head. He clasped his hands together, lips and teeth

Opening and closing, all kinds of Buddhist witty sayings, word for word, have been spoken.

Yang Guang stood calmly, as if he was not resisting at all, letting the sound of Buddhist sutras and Sanskrit chants surround him, letting the quiet people on the street chant them again, the sound of Buddha became louder all over the city, and a similar but different world unfolded before his eyes.

.

The houses in Yangzhou City are still the same, the long streets are bluestone, the city walls are mottled, and the sun is blazing in the sky. But among the houses and buildings, I don’t know when there are more big lotuses. People all over the city are either stepping on the lotus or holding the lotus.

Either holding a lotus on one's head, or holding a lotus in one's arms, the sounds and sentences are full of love, but there is not even a hint of stupidity. The heart is full of joy, the mouth is full of endless talk, and all kinds of thoughts are not the words of Buddhist scriptures at all.

"I made a lot of money today. If I sell one more bundle tomorrow, I can transfer one more. When I grow up and get stronger, I can sell more firewood... Hahaha, I have more money... so big

House, I want to marry a wife..."

"How could the second dog next door have been inferior to me in everything since he was a kid? How could he marry such a beautiful wife? I want to sleep with his wife, but this is against the law. It's against the law!"

"The weather is so good today. The weather is so good every day. It's neither cold nor hot..."

"I shouldn't have, I shouldn't have hooked up with that person while Da Lang was out. I regret it. I should have soaked the pig cage..."

"My teeth don't hurt anymore. There are so many candied haws on a stick. No matter how much you eat, you won't get cavities..."

Yang Guang listened to these people talking endlessly and looked forward. The Taoist priests and nuns were also talking happily.

"Buddhism flourished", "I, the Shingon sect, is number one in the world", "The leader of the White Way, Cihang Jingzhai, has been passed down for thousands of years" and so on.

But at that time, there was no trace of the other side.

Yang Guang looked around and looked up at the sky, but he couldn't see that person. A four-color lotus floated over from the bun shop. The petals still had a moist smell of dew or well water. Yang Guang reached out and took it.

, cool to the touch.

Among the four-color flowers, Shi Bian'an, with black hair like silk and brown eyes like jade, appeared as a three-inch little man, delicate and cute, with a string of glass beads circling in his hand, and said softly: "Your Majesty, are you looking for me? Everyone here

Every lotus is mine, just look for me and you can get it."

Yang Guang was silent.

This little man sat down again in the center of the petals, hung the rosary beads around his neck, folded his hands on his chest, his face was as calm as the full moon, and said: "Your Majesty saw this picture, and thought they were

Are you stupid?"

Yang Guang didn't listen carefully to what Shi Bian was saying. He held the lotus in his palm and looked at the trembling and joyful lotuses around the people around him. There was a sudden look in his eyes, and then he sighed softly,

"I see!"

Shi Bian'an's captivating people are not the charm of beauty and joy, nor the oppression of psychological fear. He is just listening and being the best listener.

Human beings are very fragile creatures, whether physically or mentally. If there is only one person left in the world, then this person will never survive.

If most of the people a person encounters in life have ill intentions towards him, then this person will not be able to survive. The so-called "thousands of people" will criticize him and he will die without any disease.

The human heart is like a vine and cannot live alone. Therefore, such fragile people will indulge in friendship, rely on goodwill, and be obsessed with the unconditional support and tolerance of others.

If there is such a person, he can accept all the weakness or evil in your heart, and make all your selfish thoughts forgiven. He is as beautiful as a lotus flower and as beautiful as the moonlight. Who would be willing to leave her or despise him?

Put it down.

"When I say people cut off communication, I just cut them off from each other, because the feedback they get from communication will always be malicious and will only bring hurt and pain. However, all of them can express their feelings to each other.

I talk."

At that time, the other side was sitting in the lotus. Her little voice was subtle and clear, tender and loving.

"Their complaints, anger, hatred, resentment, longing, desire, guilt, everything, came to me. No matter what their mentality was, I gave them the best response and the gentlest kindness."

"The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss that the world thinks is decorated with seven treasures, filled with gold and silver, and meets all material needs, is it really bliss? No, what I give them is bliss."

"This is not to confuse, but to educate."

Yang Guang stopped talking after sighing just now.

Shi Bian's eyebrows dropped a little, and he became more kind-hearted, and said sincerely: "Maybe you will think that my behavior is just to create spiritual opiates to make them addicted, but this is only the first step."

"When they continue to talk and inject their thoughts into me, their connection with their material bodies will gradually weaken, and they will gradually gain the ability to think about survival without the physical body. A rotten skin is nothing more than the four major lies.
