"Just like your Longhu Mountain, there are endless mountains, but as long as you keep walking and cross a mountain, you can always discover new scenery!"

(゜▽^*)

"The world is so big, there must be a lot of fun and interesting things waiting for you out there!"

(`)~

"But you're still far away!"

(｀)

Speaking of this, Annie's expression suddenly changed, and then she glanced seriously at the other party up and down for the first time.

"Although you old man is indeed very strong, your strength is limited and restricted. If you don't make changes, you will never see it."

(′ o′)

"To put it in your own words, the Celestial Master's degree in you is both an opportunity and a limitation!"

()

Yes, this is the reason why Anne doesn't look down on the other party.

If the other party had just practiced hard, he would have had a chance, but if he had to take a shortcut, the road would end all at once. In addition, he was restricted by that heavenly master. If nothing unexpected happened, this

It will be like this for the rest of my life.

Then……

After a few years, it will be almost time to burp, right?

"..."

(.)

Thinking about it, Annie glanced at the other person again, and then curled her lips somewhat boredly.

The bad old man in front of me has good talent, otherwise he would not have cultivated to the level where he is now equivalent to half-step foundation building of Qi Dzogchen and invincible in the alien world. But it is a pity that the opponent's path is narrow and he is blind.

After so many years of practice, I have now become depleted of energy and blood, and have run out of energy and have very little life left. If it were any later, there would be no hope of recovery.

"Oh……"

Zhang Zhiwei didn't know what Annie was thinking. Hearing Annie's evaluation of himself, he just smiled slightly, but there was a bit of bitterness and relief in that smile.

"So..."

"Crossing mountains and ridges, what you seek is not only the scenery on the other side, but also the testimony of spiritual training and growth?"

"Then, if everything is as you just said, there is still a mountain on the other side of the mountain, then what is the meaning of this long and arduous road of cultivation?"

Then, after talking in a deep voice, Zhang Zhiwei actually fell into a trance again. It seemed that his Taoist heart, which he had originally decided on something, was wavering again?

"What's the meaning?"

(⊙o⊙*)

"Um……"

(′～`●)

“Isn’t it considered that you can always find something fun, delicious, or interesting on the other side of the mountain?”

(˙o˙)

After thinking about it, Annie raised Tibbers' little hand and said with a serious look in her eyes.

(…)

(●￣￣●)

"oh?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei nodded thoughtfully, then changed the topic and his tone became a little more dignified:

"My little friend knows many secrets in the world, but have you ever thought about..."

"Is this knowledge also a burden?"

"I once heard what my master said: The most simple way is to know what you know, and to know what you don't know is to know. Sometimes, ignorance can make people's minds peaceful and free from disturbances?"

At this point, Zhang Zhiwei had a rare discussion with Anne.

"Maybe!"

╮(╯▽╰)╭

Anne slumped her shoulders, then shook her head slightly before retorting noncommittally:

"But people have seen a great monk in another world. He said: If a bird is locked in a cage, even if it has no worries about food and clothing, how can it spread its wings and appreciate the vastness of the sky? In life, if you are afraid of the burden,

If you choose to escape the truth, wouldn’t you be living up to your practice in this life?”

(˙o˙)

"He also said that whether you are a human being, a demon, a god or a Buddha, you have to face everything calmly, whether it is good or bad, because it exists whether you face it or not. If you don't have clear thoughts,

, what else should I practice?”

(▽`)

"By the way, this is actually what the great monk said at that time!"

(⊙⊙)

Anne originally didn't want to say it, but seeing that the other person seemed thoughtful and didn't agree with her point of view just now, after thinking about it, she had no choice but to take a sneak peek at her vast memory and use words to describe it.

The writing was relayed, and the golden fonts similar to the golden light curse appeared on the stone table in front of the two people:

In the path of spiritual practice, no matter whether you are a mortal, a demon, a god, or even a Buddha, you should uphold a fearless and unchanging heart, and face all phenomena in the world calmly, no matter good or evil, good or bad.

It should be noted that all phenomena are empty, only cause and effect are not empty!

All situations exist in the heart and in the world, and can be resolved only by avoiding them.

If the mind is obstructed and cannot be accessed, it will be like a mirror covered with dust, how can it reflect the truth?

The path of spiritual practice is to understand one's mind, see one's nature, and get rid of self-grasping. If you run away from a situation and avoid it when faced with difficulties, isn't it going against the grain? How can you talk about cultivation?

Therefore, we should accept all things with an equal mind and not think about happiness or sorrow, but seek to always have righteous thoughts, so that we can grow lotus step by step in the purgatory of the world of mortals until we reach the other shore.

All conditioned phenomena are like bubbles in a dream, like dew or lightning, and should be viewed as such.

This statement is not only an exhortation to the world, but also a profound reminder to us practitioners.

Only in this way can we gain great freedom among all dharmas and achieve supreme Bodhi.

"!!"

Zhang Zhiwei frowned when he saw this.

Because, although it is a Buddhist statement, the principles are the same. Even though Zhang Zhiwei is the Taoist leader of the Zhengyi sect in the alien world, he cannot refute it.

"Little friend Annie..."

"What happened to that great monk?"

After looking at the words on the stone table and pondering for a long time, Zhang Zhiwei finally saw a flash of complicated emotions in his eyes, and then Zhang Zhiwei sighed softly and asked subconsciously.

"I have become a Buddha!"

(||￢▽￢)

"What else?"

(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~

Anne remembered that the great monk was called Fahai, and he ate the flat peaches she stole...well, in exchange for. If he didn't become an immortal or a Buddha, he would be blind.

(…)

(●￣￣●)

"oh?"

"Is there really a Buddha in this world?"

Zhang Zhiwei's eyes moved, and then he asked pretending not to believe.

"Is there something you don't know about?"

(.)

"If it doesn't work, why don't you just promise Zhang Chulan and try it yourself?"

()

Regarding this issue, Anne didn't want to explain more. After all, she couldn't be allowed to catch a god and Buddha on the spot and show it to the other party, right?

That's so rude!

"Oh……"
