Chapter 677: Buddha Nature

Chapter 677 Buddha Nature

When Ye Chen heard this, he trembled and looked at Patriarch Bodhidharma in shock. When Patriarch Bodhidharma saw Ye Chen's surprised expression, he smiled slightly and said: "Don't be surprised, you have the shards of the Conferred God List, so you know now. I know, and... the existence in you knows."

Ye Chen was even more shocked, and the old soul was too surprised. Why did Patriarch Bodhidharma know everything?

"Grandmaster Dharma, how do you know?" Ye Chen felt that he had no secrets in front of Grandmaster Dharma.

Grand Master Bodhidharma smiled and said, "I just can see more things than others."

This sentence made Ye Chen a little puzzled, but Patriarch Bodhidharma didn't seem to want to answer, and Ye Chen didn't keep asking.

Ye Chen stayed in this dilapidated temple. Every time Ye Chen looked at the temple, he always felt that it would collapse at some point. He didn't know why Master Bodhidharma lived in such a dilapidated place.

Later, Ye Chen realized that true monks don't need to care about the quality of their residences. Some ascetics are even more difficult than this, but their achievements are incalculable.

Ye Chen wakes up early every morning to do morning classes with Patriarch Dharma, recite scriptures, and discuss the Dharma with Patriarch Dharma. If he doesn't understand, Ye Chen humbly asks and Patriarch Dharma will always explain patiently.

Every morning in the morning class last night, Ye Chen would sit next to the Bodhi tree and enlighten the Dharma by himself. The life was fulfilling and peaceful, day after day, simple repetition every day, but Ye Chen felt that he had benefited a lot. Has been greatly purified.

The sacred tree of Bodhi listens to the teachings of Master Bodhidharma every day, and its body also emits a ray of Buddha's light, and every leaf has a trace of Buddha's light flowing on it, which is extremely holy.

The sacred tree of Bodhi has been much taller than Ye Chen for nearly two years. Ye Chen often sits under the sacred tree of Bodhi to enlighten the way, and the sacred tree of Bodhi will shower a ray of Buddha light over Ye Chen.

"One flower one world, one leaf one bodhi..." Ye Chen stroked the bodhi holy leaves, smiled slightly, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

Time flies, half a year has passed, Ye Chen repeats the same things every day, not feeling bored, but just enjoying it.

"Master Bodhidharma, how is the demonic nature removed from my body?" Ye Chen couldn't help asking after one morning class.

Grandmaster Bodhidharma glanced at Ye Chen, and left without saying a word.

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand what Patriarch Bodhidharma meant. He sat cross-legged under the sacred tree of Bodhi and said to the sacred tree, "Bodhi, why don't you say that Patriarch Bodhi doesn't speak?"

"Do you know if your demon nature has been exterminated?" The Bodhi Sacred Tree said disdainfully.

Ye Chen frowned and said, "How to say?"

"If the demon nature in your body has been expelled, then you can feel it. If you can't feel it, it proves that you are not sure! If you are suspicious, even if the demon nature is expelled, you will think that there is demon nature in your body. , Then it means that you still have demons in your heart." said the Bodhi Sacred Tree.

Ye Chen suddenly realized that he stopped talking, and sat quietly in the Bodhi tree to enlighten the Dharma.

Time flies, spring comes and autumn comes again, the autumn breeze is bleak, the deciduous leaves in the courtyard are colorful, and a few trees have only bare trunks, but the sacred tree of Bodhi is still green with evergreen leaves and brilliant.

Ye Chen was sitting in the cold wind of late autumn, his black hair was blown by the biting cold wind, but his thin body looked so tall and straight, motionless.

On Ye Chen's body, there was a ray of Buddha's light surging, and the Bodhi tree swayed, rustling, and said: "You have cultivated the glory of Buddha nature. This kid really has a relationship with the Buddha. He has reached this so soon. Achieved."

Grand Master Bodhidharma appeared at the entrance of the temple, quietly looking at Ye Chen, with a smile of relief at the corner of his mouth, nodding slightly.

One day, when Ye Chen finished his morning class, Master Bodhidharma asked, "What do you think?"

Ye Chen was taken aback for a moment, then said: "Very good."

Grand Master Bodhidharma nodded, then stopped talking and left the temple.

Ye Chen didn't think about it any more, and continued to sit under the Bodhi tree to enlighten the Dharma as usual.

Spring came back to the east, and the spring breeze of Wu Xu blasted the earth, dispelling the severe winter cold, and the trees in the courtyard began to sprout, as if there was no depression of autumn and winter, a scene of vitality.

Ye Chen sat under the Bodhi tree for a whole winter, motionless, winter snow fell on him, completely covering him, but still like a rock, turning into a snowman.

Nowadays, with the warmth of spring, Ye Chen's whole body of Buddha's light is getting more and more dazzling.

"This kid is really capable. After a winter, he has improved so much!" The Bodhi Sacred Tree said in surprise.

The more dazzling the Buddha's nature, the deeper the Dharma and the higher the Dharma cultivation.

"What do you think?" Patriarch Bodhidharma asked.

Ye Chen said: "Very good."

Grand Master Bodhidharma nodded, and left the temple without speaking.

Ye Chen smiled slightly and stretched, he really feels good.

Nanyu Xiancheng.

"What the **** is Ye Chen doing? He has already come out of the Demon Realm. It's been a year or two and haven't appeared." Fei Tianhu took a sip of wine in a restaurant.

"Brother must have other things, we only need to know that the senior brother is back safely." Yun Fan said with a smile.

"When the brother comes back, we will ask Yaoguang Shengzi again and see how he answers." Cang Jian snorted coldly after taking a sip of wine.

Flying Tiger said: "The kid Shaoguang Shengzi is not a good bird. He must have done something to Ye Chen in the Demon Realm, so he ran out and said bad things about Ye Chen and damaged Ye Chen's reputation."

"Should we mess with him?" Yun Fan said thief.

Feitianhu and Cangjian glanced at Yun Fan, and said with contempt: "If you want to do it, we are all quite normal. Your taste is really heavy."

Yun Fan was full of black lines, and said: "You only have a strong taste. Xiaodie is about to give birth, and I will be an old man, and my orientation is normal. I said, should we shame him once?"?

"This is okay, but that guy is powerful and has a deep mind. It may be a bit difficult for him to be yin." Feitianhu thought.

"There is no difficulty, there is no challenge." Yun Fan said with a slap on the table.

Feitian Tiger grinned and said, "Okay, that's it, plan it out."

Western Regions.

Nian Ci'an.

Ye Chen stood outside the gate of Nianci Temple. This was the first time he left the temple in a year or two in the Western Regions.

"Excuse me, can I be forgotten?" When Ye Chen saw a little nun, he put his hands together and asked politely.

"Senior Sister Wangqing is in retreat, and I don't know when to leave." The little nun replied.

Ye Chen sighed softly when he heard it, then shook his head and said, "Thank you."

With that, Ye Chen left.

On the way back to Ci'an, Ye Chen walked very slowly. Now a few years later, the human world has gone through a catastrophe, and everything has become a mere mortal.

Brothers and friends in the past are now unclear about their lives and whereabouts are inevitably lost in their hearts.

"I miss the past. Although there was no strong strength, there were a group of brothers who lived and died. Now, although they have strong strength, there are so many people around." Ye Chen sat on a rock and sighed. Tao.

"This is the price of growth!" The old man said with emotion. He is a person who has never had a confidant, drinking and chatting together, and traveling the world together.

However, with the improvement of strength, the number of friends around gradually decreased, and eventually became lonely. Such things are not uncommon in many strong people.

Why is the strong always lonely, because it takes a lot of price to become a strong, this is just one of them.

In fact, sometimes there is a big contradiction between strong and friends.

Being strong is to protect the people around you. However, the process of being strong is also a process of losing. You have lost some friends around you. When you are truly strong, how many people will stand on top of the world with you?

The greatest pain in the world is not death, but watching the people around you disappear one by one and leave one by one. Life and death is the greatest pain.

Now those living fossil figures, who have not experienced such a process, they have lived a long time, but they have also been lonely for a long time. If it is not a kind of belief, perhaps they are more willing to turn into dust with their former close friends.

Ye Chen sighed with a lot of emotion. Some things may not be able to be done when they become stronger, some things can be done when they are weak, but they cannot be done when they become stronger.

And now he can only work hard to cherish everything in front of him, not to let what he has now become the past.

Ye Chen returned to the temple. The temple was in tatters and had no name. It looked like a dilapidated house, which would collapse at any time.

"Grandmaster Bodhidharma, why do people become stronger, and what should they do after becoming stronger?" Ye Chen asked when sitting opposite Grandmaster Bodhidharma.

Master Bodhidharma said: "Everyone has different reasons for becoming strong, but one thing is the same, and that is all because of a certain belief. Strong, what is strong, and what realm is strong? No one rules Therefore, no one really becomes stronger, but one is pursuing that kind of belief."

Ye Chen was silent, and after a long time he said: "If I am as strong as Master Bodhidharma, is there anything else in this world that I can't do?"

"There are many things you can't do, no matter how powerful you are, there are some things that are always helpless." Grandmaster Bodhidharma said.

Ye Chen said, "What can Patriarch Bodhidharma do?"

"There is only one belief in my heart, to promote Buddhism to save sentient beings. If this belief is hindered when taking action, it is a helpless thing." said Master Dharma.

Ye Chen was silent again for a long time, and in the end he just bowed to Grand Master Bodhidharma, and then sat under the sacred tree of Bodhi without saying a word.
