Chapter 899: The Difficulty of Finding a Disease
In the Changsheng Cave, Bian Huo sat cross-legged, calm and peaceful. Within a moment, the eye sores on his back recurred. The skin and flesh first cracked a thin slit, and then his eyes opened. Numb eyes looked at Li Changxiao.
Li Changxiao encountered the immortality disease again, and his heart was secretly throbbing. Although he had successfully cultivated, it was still very difficult to get rid of the disease. The master of the Eternal Life Cave, the head of the Panlong Sect... suffered from a disease that was quite similar to Bian Hui. But the head of the Panlong Sect has died long ago, so how can the disease remain?
What Bian Hui said should be correct. He had already contracted the disease, and the closer he got to the source, the more obvious it became. The strange disease becomes more and more elusive. Li Changxiao bent down and leaned over. Bian Huo slowly came closer and said with a smile: "You really want to know?" He let out a weird laugh.
Li Chang smiled and said, "I really want to know." Bian Hu said, "Hey, I'll tell you then." His eyes were sometimes clear, sometimes chaotic, sometimes surly, sometimes irritable. But whenever he talks about his illness, he can always talk endlessly.
Bian Huo said: "I have been searching various places for a hundred years. Although I have not completely understood the origin of this strange disease, I have guessed something. In the past, I did not practice magic. Although my cultivation was high, I had no idea about the way to cultivate immortality. I understand, so it is still difficult to fully understand this disease. In the past hundred years, I have visited the sect's classics. Hey, I have a very good talent in spiritual practice. I have read several extremely difficult techniques and profound spiritual practices. , I became more aware of the practice. I knew that this disease was related to practice, so I started studying it.”
Li Changxiao secretly asked: "Is it related to practice?" He just muttered this. After hearing this, Bian Huo immediately cursed angrily: "Shut your stinky mouth and listen to me." Li Changxiao shut up. Bian Huo said again: "I went to see the eighteen hells you mentioned. The evil haunting is also a similar disease. Buddhism pays attention to precepts, and those who violate the precepts have problems with their practice. The path of practice is distorted, and the spiritual energy is naturally exhausted, then The disease is more twisted and difficult to deal with. This is because those with low cultivation are easily affected by their words and deeds. Preaching means spreading from high places to low places. If we compare people to mountains of different heights, they are like rivers flowing from high to low.”
"The way of the superior will naturally affect the subordinates all the time. Those who are plagued by evil and sick have extremely high cultivation, so they are naturally infected at once. This kind of infectious disease is not common, but it still exists."
Bian Huo also mentioned the Seven-Star Snake who was once the "Seven-Star Poison Lord". Tell Li Changxiao why there is no cure for the seven-star snake's poison. This is because this kind of snake has extremely high understanding and realm, but the Tao is indescribable emptiness. Its way passes through the lower level and contaminates the way of others. Naturally, people who are poisoned must die and there is no way to save them.
Li Chang smiled and said, "So, these chronic illnesses and lingering illnesses are all one disease?" Bian Huo shook his head and said, "In the past, it was the same type of disease. But it cannot be said to be the same disease."
Bian Hui said: "The disease of evil is a Buddhist disease. Buddhist disciples who do not believe in cause and effect and do not believe in Buddhism will not easily contract it. But the long-lasting disease... only monks could contract it in the past. Now it has evolved several times, and I have also experienced this evolution. It’s hard to explain clearly, but it has not only infected the monks, but you must also have discovered that there are countless people suffering from strange diseases along the way, and they are still spreading.”
Li Changxiao frowned. Bian Huo smiled and said: "Chronic illness and lingering evil are the same type of disease, but they are not the same disease. That is to say, the cause of the disease is different for different people. To put it simply, the source of the disease for lingering evil is just the same thing. The monk in the temple. But the person who is the source of the chronic illness is a much more powerful person." Bian Fu chuckled: "What, can you guess who it is?"
Li Changxiao suddenly broke into a cold sweat, thinking of a certain figure, and asked: "Except for the Beishenwu, I have seen all of the five Mahayana's after their spiritual energy dried up, and they don't look like they are sick."
Bian Huo said: "Don't interrupt, just listen to me. You can provide me with clues about Venerable Fengxue. I went to the Snow Sect and thoroughly investigated Venerable Fengxue. He went out on a mission. It was clear who he was meeting, but it was difficult to determine who the strange disease was, so he visited one place after another."
Bian Hui said: "I visited many places, but only the Japanese country was infected by Venerable Fengxue, leaving behind the disease. The disease in the Japanese country is actually mild. This strange disease is like a big tree with many branches. The closer it gets, the more it gets closer. The source is the more obvious the disease. Waguo and Fengxue Zun are both at the ends of the branches, but their mild symptoms are really scary and terrifying."
Bian Huo said again: "After searching for the last time, I don't know how big the harvest will be, but it will make me a mess. Bah! I wasted a lot of time. When you are free in the future, you'd better chop up those three bastards for me and cut them into pieces." Duan, chop it into minced meat!" Li Chang smiled and said nothing, knowing full well that this disease will affect people's minds. No...not just the mind, but the "reason" that distorts people. A person's behavior has his own "reason". Even those who are unforgivable and commit great crimes have their own "reasons" for their actions. Perhaps this truth cannot be understood by ordinary people. But it does exist.
However, this disease gradually distorts people's "principles", and their actions and words tend to evolve in unpredictable directions. Bian Huo said: "But this trip is not in vain. I heard from the Three Heavenly Masters of the Japanese tribe that Venerable Fengxue once made good friends with the three of them. They often sat with each other drinking and chatting about miscellaneous things. It was probably Venerable Fengxue. Before and after the patient became ill, he went to listen to a sermon by a certain great monk."
Bian Huo said: "At that time I thought... 'Ah! That great monk must be the source.' But when I asked again, the Three Heavenly Venerables asked me to write a medical book and exchange it for the medical book. I was not irritated by that, so I naturally did not cheat. Later I used some tricks to escape. But the clues were cut off again. Later... I heard that the Lingtian Dynasty had resurfaced, and I remembered the Longevity Cave you mentioned."
