Chapter 358: Watch the Mind
"This is"
The sight in front of him was amazing.
Wang An opened his mouth slightly, feeling a little weird.
Behind was a completely modern building, a simple library.
In front was a dilapidated temple.
This temple was not very big.
In front of the direct opposite wall, there was a big Buddha. It was just that the big Buddha, which had fallen into disrepair for a long time, had a lot of gold pieces fallen off and looked dilapidated.
Even on the cheeks of the Buddha had dense white substances.
There was a bird's nest above the head.
'Don't guess...'
'You know what those white substances are.'
The lobby of the temple was empty.
The table had fallen apart a long time ago, covered with cobwebs.
In a few corners, there was a lot of dead grass. There were a few tattered cloth strips on them, which looked very shabby. Near the cloth strips, there were some blackened pots and pans supported on wooden frames. At the bottom, there was already little white sawdust. It should be some beggar who came to live here, but somehow they all left.
In addition, in the middle of the temple, there was bedding that was not clean.
On the bedding, an old man sat cross-legged.
The old man's robes looked very gorgeous and spotless.
The wooden fish in his hand was also brand new.
His skin was ruddy.
Looking at this, it was in sharp contrast with the environment of this temple.
"Is this the person Master is waiting for? It's a strange feeling. Looking at this temple, it is also the architectural style of China. But this is the first time I have seen such a strange monk after running a force in China for so long."
Watching this, Wang An felt his heart was shaken.
"Go." Ye Bei then looked at the temple, stepped forward, and walked towards it.
When he stepped out of the library door, the mystical scene appeared once again. His body seemed to have traveled through time and space, stepping directly into the dilapidated temple from the modern building.
Wang An did not dare to hesitate as he hurried up.
When he entered the temple, he turned around instinctively.
He found that there was no trace of the library at all. The only place he could see was a dilapidated temple door. Then he took a light breath and smelled a faint smell of decay.
"Is this in the past? Or illusion?... Or is it the place that exists in reality in this era?"
Wang An's eyes opened wide.
Those old eyes carefully looked at the surrounding environment, thinking to himself, but after a long time, he didn't get the answer.
After Ye Bei walked in, he carried both of his hands behind his back and stood directly in front of the old monk.
"How many reincarnations has it been?"
The atmosphere seemed a little depressed. After a while, Ye Bei moved the corner of his mouth a little, his voice was very indifferent.
Ta, ta, ta
The monk continued to knock the wooden fish.
In the deserted temple...
It seemed that there was only the sound of the wooden fish, which indicated that there was still a trace of life in this temple.
"Cannot remember."
The monk slowed down, raised his head, and looked at Ye Bei. The muscles on his face trembled a little, but his calmness was restored instantly. When he answered, his tone was very serious, and his eyes showed a lot of respect.
"What are you looking for me this time?" Ye Bei continued.
The wooden fish in the monk's hand stopped its sound.
Slowly, he placed the wooden fish on the ground in front of him.
"Donor, in this life, you should be able to find the answer you are looking for! But... have you ever expected that this world will change soon?" The monk narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone was extremely solemn.
Ye Bei was silent.
Wang An, standing behind him, suffered a severe shock.
He was still young in a sense, but he was also too weak.
But... Ever since Ye Bei came out of the mountain, he also faintly felt the great changes in this world.
Eighty years ago, in that chaotic era Ye Bei was also outside.
The war destroyed countless ruins and the whole world was full of dark tides.
However, the era that seemed to be about to be destroyed was exuding majestic vitality all the time.
Looking back now... everything looked stable and harmonious.
But it had reached a bottleneck everywhere.
This feeling was too mysterious...
Anyway, Wang An couldn't think through it now, so he also kept silent, lowered his head, bent over, and regarded himself as a listener.
"Donor, I'm afraid that after the change, I and the people of reincarnation will all turn to ashes." Seeing that Ye Bei did not answer, the monk spoke again.
"I have seen it countless times." At this moment, Ye Bei spoke.
After the monk heard Ye Bei's answer, a wry smile appeared on his face, "Then, does Donor know what kind of change will it be?"
"Whether it is the beginning and end of any era, there will be great disasters, great tribulations, it's nothing more than the annihilation of a clan and the brith of a clan."
Ye Bei carried his hands on his back.
A cold wind blew through the cracks in the dilapidated wooden door of the temple.
Ye Bei who dressed in a white dress was standing in the wind.
Wang An's body was shocked.
"Annihilation of a clan, birth of a clan..."
Although he didn't quite understand what was going on, he could easily understand this sentence.
For example, the fall of the age of mythology.
At that time, all the gods and Buddhas in the high heaven disappeared, there was also no traces of them.
For example, the fall of the dinosaur era.
At that time, all the dinosaurs that occupied the world disappeared overnight, the ones left in the modern era were just fossils buried deep underground.
Annihilation of a clan Ye Bei said this so easily
But in this era, the creatures on this earth were about life and death.
"Life, death, and reincarnation! Donor... do you have a solution?" On the pad, the monk asked, his complexion looked rather indifferent, but his voice was faintly trembling.
He and Ye Bei were old acquaintances.
Although his body changed from one to another, he also knew that in the entire world, except for Ye Bei, no one could stop this change.
"Why solve it?" Instead of answering, Ye Bei asked him back.
The monk put his hands together, "Buddhism pays attention to the generalization of sentient beings, saving people from fire and water."
"Buddhism also pays attention to not asking about world affairs, not occupying the world, the world does not need you to save..." Ye Bei said casually.
The monk showed a kind smile, "My Buddha is merciful, and I can't see others destroy it."
"Do you eat meat?" Ye Bei asked.
The monk was taken aback for a moment, his eyes were horrified, and he shook his head again and again, "I don't eat living things."
"Do you think a tree has life?"
"Has."
"Then can it be considered a living thing?"
"Forget it!"
"Have you eaten fruit?"
"Have."
"Fruit is the seed of a tree. When planted in the coming year, there will be tens of thousands of trees. You said you don't eat living things, but have you ever thought that you've eaten thousands of vitality long ago? You don't want others to destroy it, but you have already destroyed countless before them."
"I"
The monk was stunned.
Dharma debate?
Regarding the monk in front of him, he was afraid there were some things that he didn't quite understand.
Before endless years, it was because of a few words from Ye Bei that so many sects were born...
