Chapter 2369: The old monk (3) Chapter 2369: The old monk (3) The ancient tree root was extremely thick, at least three people needed to wrap their arms around it. It was originally full of vitality, but now it had withered, as if it had entered Samsara.
“When I entered the temple, that tree had just reached the age of man Ji, but now it’s almost there.”
The old monk’s answer was irrelevant. There was a hint of desolation in his words, which surprised the red-browed monk.
His strength had already reached level one and was unparalleled in the world. Even the Emperor in the Imperial City, who was protected by Dragon Qi, had to fear him.
However, such a demigod powerhouse seemed to be a little desolate at this time, as if he was hiding something in his heart.
He followed the old monk’s gaze and saw the withered old tree.
The leaves fell all over the ground, but no one cleaned them up.
Without the shade of the tree, it was indeed a little dispirited.
This tree grew in the temple and was influenced by the light of Buddha, so it was quite spiritual. It had always grown well with luxuriant branches and leaves. Perhaps it had been affected by the devil Qi recently, so it had withered and died.
The old monk had entered the temple very early, so he must have had a different feeling for the tree. Seeing it wither and die, his state of mind was affected.
The red-browed monk laughed.
“Senior brother, when a flower wilts, it will bloom. This is the law of nature.”
He had a vague feeling that something was wrong with his senior brother after he left the hall.
However, the old monk’s cultivation was much higher than his, so he could not tell what was wrong.
but all things have their own reincarnation. We, who study Buddhism, should understand this principle the best.
In the laws, everything in the world had a counter to each other, and yin and yang could not be the only one.
With a smile, he stretched out his hand and pointed, ”
“Where there is death, there is life. Senior brother, look over there.”
In the direction pointed by the red-browed monk, there was a thin and weak green sprout that was struggling to germinate from the withered old roots, bringing a glimmer of life to the gradually declining temple.
“One rise and one fall, the heavens will never cut off the path to life. Senior brother, you’ve been too obsessed.”
The old monk’s body trembled and his eyes widened.
Sure enough, he saw the green shoot swaying in the wind, which had not yet been infected with the strong demonic Qi.
“If the old doesn’t go, how can the new come?” The red-browed monk didn’t know what he was thinking. He smiled and said, ”
after a rotten old tree dies, it will turn into nutrients to nurture new tree buds. One day, it will grow into a brand new Forest.
“Yes, yes, yes …”
The old monk seemed to have been enlightened in an instant. The black Qi that was originally reflected in his eyes faded unwillingly with the words of the red-browed monk.
“How can it be rebuilt if it’s not broken? If he didn’t die, it would be difficult to be reborn … I was affected by the demonic Qi, and my state of mind was almost ruined.”
In the temple, when he met Seven’s eyes, he was invaded by the devil Qi without knowing it.
If the red-browed monk had not pointed him out, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Now that the demonic Qi was broken, the old monk’s dejected expression was swept away and he became peaceful and calm.
the dynasty and the heavenly Dao temple are like this old tree. Their roots have already rotted. After he thought it through, his eyes were filled with determination.
“Senior brother, what do you mean?” The red-browed old monk was stunned for a moment before he asked.
“The heavens are about to change.” The old monk looked at him and ordered, ”
“From today onwards, pick some of the monks in the temple and leave this place. Don’t let the inheritance of the temple end.”
“Senior brother …”
“Something big has happened to the heavenly Dao temple and it can’t be saved.” At this point, the old monk did not hide anything from him.
“But you’re right, there’s life and there’s death,”
The light in the young man’s eyes had yet to fade, and there was still room for maneuver.
Just like this old tree, one withered and one bloomed, under the aura of death, there was a thread of vitality.
The red-browed old monk could not help but feel a little flustered when he heard his words.
He understood the old monk’s character and would never joke about such a matter.
The old monk had already reached the realm of a first-grade Holy monk. If he said that there was a big problem with the heavenly Dao temple, it couldn’t be a small matter.
“Senior brother, do you mean that we should abandon this monk and escape?”
The first thought that came to the red-browed monk’s mind was, “Could it be that the dynasty’s fate had come to an end?
“It’s you guys who want to leave.” The old monk heard his words and shook his head, ”
“I’ve been in the temple for many years, and it’s hard to separate from the heavenly Dao temple.”
“I will stay in the temple and live or die with it.” The inheritance of the temple could not be broken. Some of the fire seeds needed to be preserved so that it could continue to be transferred.
He glanced at the monk with red eyebrows, who was panicking, and said in a gentler tone, ”
don’t worry, I have a feeling that the heavenly Dao will not be cut off. As you said, if the old doesn’t go, the new won’t come.
The dynasty was already rotten, and the royal family was obsessed with power and ignored the common people.
When the heavenly Dao temple was first established, it was originally to promote Buddhism and benefit the people.
However, as the temple grew bigger and the number of monks increased, the human heart had long deviated from its original track.
It was not that he did not know the tracks of the monks in the temple, but it was easy to manage one person, but difficult to tame a thousand people.
He was already old and powerless to change his fate that was driven by ambition and desire.
Perhaps the arrival of the demon fetus was a good thing for this decadent world.
No destruction, no construction.
After the death of a land of extremis, there might be a new life.
When the decay was completely dead, a will that had not been tainted would show a new miracle.
“I’m not really going to die.” The old monk’s eyes were filled with kindness and wisdom.
“I’m just temporarily watching over the temple. When the inheritor returns here one day, he’ll take over my will again.”
For cultivators, the physical body was just a shell, a kind of restraint, and the will was eternal.
The red-browed monk had already anticipated something, and he sobbed silently.
Song Qing was standing outside the hall.
She had heard the conversation between the two monks and noticed that as the old monk dispelled the trace of demonic Qi, his state of mind seemed to have advanced a level.
“Could it be that this person was the high monk who sealed the heavenly Dao temple?”
She spoke softly. She was already used to not being discovered by anyone in this world.
However, the moment she finished speaking, she saw the old monk who was talking to the red-browed monk turn his head and look in her direction. As if he had already discovered her tracks, he revealed a faint smile, put his hands together, and nodded his head slightly in greeting.
