Chapter 1165: Gods and Buddhas in the Sky

"Uncle's smile is so strange..." The little girl and the little boy were a little scared, and stepped back repeatedly. Then they were hugged by a purple-dressed young woman who had been watching quietly. They returned to the cabin with a vigilant look. Some of the passengers around looked over, their eyes were stunned, as if they didn't understand why a normal person suddenly went crazy.

After laughing for a while, Meng Qi gradually calmed down. People in the world don't see the true law. Judging people by "appearance" is limited or blinded by their own experience, reliance and knowledge. They don't believe when they should, and they are deeply trapped when they shouldn't. What he told was a true story, while Xuanxin used bragging to cover up his essence as a spy of the demon clan. Although the two are different, they both reveal certain flaws. For example, if the story he told was posted on the forum of Wanjie Tongshi Tiandi, he might be recognized as "Gentleman Sword" Meng Qi by his old friends. For example, Xuanxin often has subtle flaws, which makes people feel that he is not that simple. If he had taken it seriously and observed secretly earlier, how could the Shaolin incident have happened?

Unfortunately, judging people by their appearance, I lost Ziyu.

The world is like this, the Dharma body does not see the Great Dao, does not see Tathagata, what is in the way? The external "I"?

Shaking his head and sighing, Meng Qi ignored the gaze and entered the cabin, because he felt hungry again after who knows how many years.

Many cognitions and concepts brought by martial arts strength over the years were broken and rebuilt.

There was no big thing when the ship was sailing on the sea. Meng Qi has always had the ability to make friends. He quickly got along with Huang Chang and others, boasting and drinking, and was very happy. In his spare time, he told the twins stories, all of which were the experiences of his identities other than the Mad Blade Yuanhuang and the encounters in the reincarnation world.

Although the twins kept mumbling that their mother said that their uncle was bragging, Meng Qi's stories were really wonderful, which made them report on time every day, looking up and listening attentively.

"I came back to the capital of that country and met the Queen of Demons in the temple. She offered a golden armor and transformed into the Queen of Blades..." As he spoke, Meng Qi's habit of teasing and pranking began to flare up, and he started talking nonsense. The people around him frowned as they heard him, but the little girl and the little boy were enjoying it and found it interesting, even more fun than the book "Emperor Yuan vs. Transformers"!

They asked questions from time to time, such as what is the golden armor and what is the Queen of Blades. The interaction between the two sides was so enjoyable that the worried young woman in purple skirt beside them became more relaxed.

On this day, the moon was in the sky, and the clear light covered the mechanical ship like a veil. Meng Qi was no longer tireless, sleeping on a narrow bed, rising and falling with the waves.

In a cabin, the black-robed man who had been keeping his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes. The dark place was shimmering with bright silver, a bit sacred and a bit indifferent, like the clearest mirror, reflecting every bit of the surroundings, including the illusions that are hard to see with the naked eye, such as the misty Yin Qi, such as the ghost embedded in the wall panel, with only one face exposed.

"The Eye of No Delusion has finally been completed." The black-robed man said to himself happily and stood up slowly.

He is a powerful man of the left way. In order to practice this magical power, he has suppressed all kinds of desires for several years. Now that his merits are complete, he has to vent and celebrate.

According to sensory observation, no one on this building ship can withstand his attack!

Pushing open the cabin door, the black-robed man looked at the slightly flickering lights and the quiet passage on both sides, recalling everything he knew before, and walked forward slowly, full of satisfaction, as if he was the master of all life on this building ship.

"The universal talisman is difficult to block, so we must not be careless, lest someone asks for help." He pondered the details, thought for a while, and walked past the two cabins where the purple-skirted young woman and her family lived, and walked forward.

Although the boastful guy has no martial arts skills, he always has some inexplicable feelings when he senses. For the sake of solemnity, let's start with him!

Stopping in front of the cabin, he slowly pushed open the door, silently, and swept his eyes to the bed, full of bloodthirstiness and cruelty. He took in the sleeping figure of Meng Qi on the bed, raised his right palm, and was about to take action.

But at this moment, his eyes reflected a picture different from the naked eye. The sleeping figure was surrounded by golden arhats and compassionate bodhisattvas, layer after layer, overlapping, or making lion seals, or making treasure bottle seals, or holding demon pestles, or holding pure lotus, with waves of glass light, and the ceiling kept shaking. At the highest point, there seemed to be a moonlight-like "Buddha"!

Sweat dripped down his cheeks, and he instinctively stepped back. The black-robed man bumped into the door with a thud, and said in panic:

"May the gods and Buddhas protect you?"

This boastful guy is actually protected by the Arhats of the heavens and Bodhisattvas from all walks of life?

What is his origin?

The reincarnation of Buddha, or the savior?

The sound of knocking on the door woke Meng Qi up. His habit over the years made him quickly turn over and sit up, posing the most suitable posture for action. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the black-robed man in front of him, while the voice of "May the gods and Buddhas protect you" echoed in his ears.

In a short moment, he had already outlined the general course of events. Facing the panicked black-robed man, he smiled slightly and said, "Is it the way for a guest to enter without asking?"

The black-robed man looked horrified and shook his head instinctively:

"You, you don't have any martial arts skills, how can you be protected by the gods and Buddhas?"

He felt that he would die with a clear mind.

Meng Qi sat down and said with a smile, "You may not believe me, but I was also a great master in the past. I was facing a difficult obstacle and could not make a breakthrough, so I asked my friends for advice. I finally realized that cutting off my greatest support, which is my own strength, is the shortcut to seeing my true self. As for the protection of the gods and Buddhas in the sky, it is because I was indebted to a certain Buddha or a great Bodhisattva in the past."

The man in black robe was stunned for a moment, and then he started laughing. He laughed uncontrollably and woke up several people. It took him a long time to gasp and said: "Do you think I'm stupid? How can there be any idiot who would give up his martial arts skills after being spoken to by others? Haha. , this joke is so funny.”

I am such a fool... Meng Qi said silently.

"Only by giving up your martial arts can you see your true self? Haha, by giving up your martial arts you can only seek your own death..." The man in black robe continued to laugh, "Anyone who studies martial arts will understand that the most real and true basis in the world is a little practice. How can you see your true self without giving up your strength?”

Meng Qi thought for a while and said: "The Taoist sect once divided tribulations into many categories. There are different tribulations of thunder, tribulations of wind, earth and fire, tribulations of human beings involving cause and effect, tribulations of three lives related to the past and the future, and tribulations of sudden loss of all magical powers. At that time, can you still rely on martial arts? Should you just wait for death if you encounter a vacuum calamity? "

"That's different. If it's a disaster, you can prepare treasures to ward off the disaster, invite friends to protect you, and make comprehensive plans. As long as you survive that period, you can naturally recover. Compared with abandoning your martial arts to find the illusory true self, it is simply incomparable. Same thing." The man in black robe shook his head and sneered, still feeling that this master who was protected by the gods and Buddhas in the sky was kidding him.

There must be some masters who are so powerful that they can't detect his martial arts skills at all, but how can any master do such a stupid thing as destroying his own foundation?

Meng Qi said seriously: "What if the vacuum tribulation lasts for one year, five years, or even ten years?"

"How can such a long-lasting disaster happen?" The man in black robe didn't believe it at all.

Meng Qi did not argue, and showed a smile: "I am the same as you said now? I can ask the gods and Buddhas in the sky to protect me, and if I have treasures, I can automatically protect the Lord. If I want to do something, the world is big, and there is no one who is willing to help me. There are not many but certainly many people who abandon me because I have lost all my strength. They just need to re-recognize themselves, the world, and adjust the habits that come from martial arts. What is the difference between this and going through the tribulation of vacuum? "

"But others can recover as soon as the disaster is over, but there is little hope of giving up martial arts. It is more like giving up on oneself." The man in black robe still cannot accept this choice.

For martial arts monks, strength is life and strength is everything!

Meng Qi did not answer directly, but looked out the window, pointed at the bright moon and said: "When I had martial arts, I was able to enter Qingming for the first time, and it only took a few steps to reach Guanghan. Now if I want to go there, I must either ask others for help or Travel through the Black Palace and use their magical mechanisms."

Then, he pointed at the dark island shadow:

"Look at the steep peaks of the island over there. When you had martial arts, it was just one step away. Now if you want to climb there, you have to be prepared, travel through mountains and rivers, and overcome many difficulties and obstacles before you can reach it."

"In the past, to do something, I could just do it myself. Even if I was far outside the boundary, I could still use my strength from a distance. Now I have to go around a lot and use up human support."

"Many past experiences, habits and cognitions collapsed before my eyes with the loss of martial arts. I had to reconstruct them to match the current situation, so I understood what a pattern is and what an external thing is, relying on them but not relying on them. To them, restricted by them, covering 'eyes'..."

His voice was low and his tone was normal as he described various seemingly natural changes. The man in black robe initially had a look of disbelief, but as he gradually fell into thinking, it seemed that there might be some truth to it.

He responded with a few words from time to time, and Meng Qi continued to talk. Unconsciously, the east turned pale, and the sea and sky seemed to be burning.

The man in black robe suddenly frowned and said: "You have said so much, do you want to persuade me to give up my martial arts?"

"No, I'm just comforting myself." Meng Qi laughed at himself, then waved his hand and said, "The Eye of Wuwu is a magical power of Taoism. It pays attention to the integration of body and mind. It should not be blinded by lust. Even if it is practiced, if it is indulged, it will regress. , take care of yourself.”

The man in black robe did not dare to disobey and walked backwards out of the cabin. All the emotions in his heart had long since disappeared after a night of listening to the lecture in a foggy atmosphere.

There were many early risers in front of me, talking and laughing. The man in black robe seemed to have just woken up, and said to himself in astonishment:

"What have I done and where am I?"

"I just listened to that lunatic talking nonsense all night?"

"And I think what he said makes sense..."
