Chapter 8 The Past Life of Buddha
Lu Qi walked in the forest, thinking while recalling the story of the Nine-Colored Deer.
"If this world was really the world in the Nine Colored Deer story, what benefits could I get from it?"
He spent a lot of effort to get the magic flower, and the one-eyed evil wolf corpse sacrificed together, so he opened the mural and came to this world.
This effort cannot be wasted.
But after thinking about it, Lu Qi didn't expect any obvious benefits to obtain. There were no magic weapons and magic weapons in the whole story, nor did the spiritual fruit elixir, and the only extraordinary thing was the Nine-Colored Deer itself.
"First find a way to find the Nine-Colored Deer and confirm whether this world is as I thought."
After a while, Lu Qi tried to find the nine-colored deer in the dense woods.
According to legend, the nine-colored deer is also called the nine-colored deer king, and it should be the deer king of a herd of deer.
It is hard to find a deer, but it is much easier to find a deer herd.
There may be more than one deer in this huge forest, but the nine-colored deer is so conspicuous that it is not difficult to find the deer where it is located.
Two or three hours later, the day goes to the sky.
Lu Qi was still walking in the forest. He had been searching in the woods, but he had not seen the deer.
I ran into a leopard and a few wild boars, and almost died.
Suddenly, my eyes suddenly opened.
While searching, Lu Qi walked out of the woods and came to a river bank.
The river water surging in the river and flows away.
"River bank?"
"In the story, the nine-colored deer often likes to drink water and eat grass on a river bank.
I walked along the river bank and maybe I could find it.”
Lu Qi's eyes lit up and he walked upstream along the river bank.
After walking for a while, a vast river bank quietly appeared in sight.
There are plump, fresh and tender grass growing on the shore.
In the warm sunshine, there were more than a hundred deer, both large and small, lying or standing, bowing their heads and eating grass happily on the river bank.
Lu Qi's appearance did not alarm any deer.
He looked at the huge deer in front of him, a little confused.
"How come the deer in this herd of deer feels very relaxed?"
Deer, born as predators, can have a greater chance of survival when facing the jungle where beasts may rush out at any time.
But the deer in front of me was very abnormal.
Just like he once stayed with the deer, he was focused on eating when eating and was not alert to the surroundings.
"It turned out that I dared to relax my guard because of the herd of deer and other deer warnings, and I was running very fast.
What does this herd of deer have to rely on to dare to do this?"
Lu Qi's eyes moved, as if he suddenly thought of something.
His eyes quickly searched around the deer.
Sure enough, on the right side of the deer, on a huge bluestone a distance away, the answer was found.
A deer king with a divine body is snow-white all over, with nine-colored rays of light, and his horns are like snow branches. He stands on the bluestone with wisdom, staring at the slowly flowing river, like a quiet sage, thinking about something.
"Nine-colored deer!"
Lu Qi's eyes lit up, and when he saw the nine-colored deer, he completely determined why the deer in this herd was like this.
There are nine-colored deer here, what kind of jackals, tigers and leopards can eat the deer of this herd!
Deer with herds of deer naturally doesn’t have to be vigilant and can concentrate on eating grass at will!
At the same time, he was sure that he had really entered the world of the Nine Colored Deer.
Lu Qi looked at the nine-colored deer in the distance, and his eyes showed his thoughts.
Now we can continue the issue he just temporarily left behind.
In the story, the only extraordinary thing is the Nine-Colored Deer itself.
"If I can get any benefits, it must be related to the Nine-Colored Deer.
Then, get close to the nine-colored deer first and find a way to get in touch with the nine-colored deer frequently.”
Lu Qi didn't know what benefits he could get from the Nine-Colored Deer, but as long as he could get something, he would definitely not be bad.
Because of the identity of the nine-colored deer!
Lu Qi looked at the nine-colored deer in the distance, and a hint of heat and awe flashed in his eyes.
In addition to being a divine beast and auspicious beast, the nine-colored deer also has a certain identity - the Buddha's previous life!
Or it is a Buddha who has not yet achieved enlightenment on the road of practice for many lifetimes!
The story and legend of the Nine Colored Deer actually comes mostly from a Buddhist scripture "The Buddha Says the Nine Colored Deer Sutra"
In the Buddhist scriptures, the Buddha told the believers the story of the nine-colored deer, and finally stated that the nine-colored deer was his previous life.
Everyone knows that the Buddha was originally the prince of the royal family, and he was moved by all kinds of troubles in life, old age, sickness and death. He abandoned the royal family's life, became a monk and practiced Taoism halfway, and finally realized the Tao under the Bodhi tree.
But the Buddhist scriptures say that before the lifetime of enlightenment, the Buddha had actually practiced for many lifetimes.
He has worked as a variety of people in his previous life, such as poor people, women, debaters, filial sons, boys, practitioners, kings, strong men...
He has also been a beast for many lifetimes, and has been an elephant, horse, monkey, pigeon, peacock, parrot, turtle, rabbit, etc.
In every life, no matter whether it is a beast or a human, or a poor or a rich man, although he has no memories of his previous life, he insists on practicing, sacrificing himself to seek Dharma, and accumulating merits.
Without so many years of practice, the Buddha would not be able to attain Bodhi and become a Buddha in one day!
Among them, the nine-colored deer is one of the Buddha's many past lives.
Of course... Although the Buddha had many previous lives, not all of them were like the nine-colored deer in this life. Good luck was reincarnated into a auspicious beast like a qilin or a phoenix, with magical powers.
As a auspicious beast, the nine-colored deer is extraordinary. In addition, it has not yet attained enlightenment, so the identity of the Buddha who is reincarnated on the road to cultivation is naturally even more amazing!
So Lu Qi believes that if he can't get anything from the Nine Colored Deer, it won't be bad if he gets something!
Lu Qi quietly observed the nine-colored deer for a while and found that the nine-colored deer was thinking about something and did not care about the surroundings.
He approached quietly and mixed into the herd of deer eating happily.
Lu Qi looked at the tender grass on the ground and his index finger moved.
Speaking of which, he was really hungry.
In the morning before entering this world, Lu Qi was halfway through the food, and was led by a group of wolves and suddenly jumped out to chase after him.
After solving the crisis of one-eyed evil wolf and pack of wolves, he focused on getting the magic flowers.
In and out of the miasma, after most of the day, when I got the magic flower, I couldn't wait to find a place to open the mural.
After entering this world, Lu Qi was eager to find the Nine-Colored Deer to verify the conjecture. In total, he didn't eat for more than a day and was so hungry.
Lu Qi was eating grass in big mouthfuls, and for a moment he was also glad that he was a deer, and he was no longer as dissatisfied with being a deer before.
"As a deer, it is still beneficial. Just eat some grass when you are hungry.
In addition, if it were the tiger I wanted to become before, how could it be so easy to get into the deer group so easily and close to the nine-colored deer?
Many things that follow are not easy to carry out."
Lu Qi shook his head.
He easily successfully got into the deer with his identity as a deer, and he would have many opportunities to come into contact with the nine-colored deer if nothing unexpected happens.
