No wonder we exclaimed, because we had seen him not long ago, and it was he who brought us here and guided us into this new city.

Yes, that's the old ferryman. I had always suspected that he was a great monk before, but I didn't expect that he was really an eminent monk. Although his image is different from his outside image now, without the big beard,

The monk's robe is not full of patches or tattered, but the look on his face is always unmistakable.

"Why are you here?" It was Hui Gen'er who asked. Obviously, he couldn't connect the two images. One was indifferent and could see through the world, while the other was compassionate and full of compassion.

As for why he didn't tell us clearly during the ferry, why he got here is not the key to Hui Gen'er's question at all. He just wanted to prove again whether these two people are the same person?

Facing Hui Gen'er's question, Master Hongren just looked at Hui Gen'er with a smile, his eyes full of meaning, but how could Hui Gen'er know? He just became more and more confused and scratched his head anxiously, but I saw a little bit of smile in it.

The difference is that the old ferryman outside has a scar at the corner of his eye, like a serious wound, but Master Hongren does not.

The scar was not big, just about the size of a small fingernail. If I didn’t see it accidentally, I wouldn’t pay attention to it. Unexpectedly, it gave me an answer now. I blurted out: “You are not the ferryman outside, because

You don’t have that scar!”

Excited, I pointed to the corner of my eye and made gestures. Maybe I was the only one who noticed this detail, so after I said it, everyone looked at me inexplicably.

However, Master Hongren smiled again and said: "Amitabha, you have discovered it after all. The person ferrying outside is my younger brother, who is also my guardian monk. He is Hongye, and Hongren is me."

"Ah" Hui Gen'er suddenly reacted fiercely and pointed at Master Hongren without caring about politeness. Apart from the shocked sound of "ah" coming from her throat, she was speechless.

I saw that Hui Gen'er was feeling uncomfortable, so I gently hit Hui Gen'er's back a few times, and then Hui Gen'er regained her breath.

Master Hongren seemed to have a childlike innocence. When he saw Hui Gen'er like this, he smiled. Different from the somewhat cold smile of the ferryman, the great monk Hongye, his smile had a childish innocence without any pretense. He said: "Big

A dream, I don’t know if it is a dream, is also a kind of pain. How can a real soul have the feeling of being choked by words like a yang body, are you right?"

What a big dream

But Hui Gen'er didn't care about that. She bowed her head to Master Hongren. It seemed that she was about to kowtow, but Master Hongren grabbed her and asked in a low voice: "Is that young monk Huijue okay?"

Uncle Hui? He mentioned Uncle Hui inexplicably. Hui Gen'er was not the only one who was excited at this moment, but all of us except Lu Shan and Tao Bo. I was so excited that I couldn't help but tremble all over, just because Hui Gen'er was so excited.

Uncle Hui is always with my master. Now someone calls Uncle Hui with the title "Little Monk". It's like I'm seeing a relative. How can I not be excited?

After Hui Gen'er was pulled up by Master Hong Ren, she was already about to cry. However, due to the state of her soul, unless she suddenly felt something great like Jue Yuan's, it would be impossible for her to really shed tears. However, this did not prevent Hui Gen'er from using her

He cried and said: "I haven't seen my master for many years, seven or eight years."

Hui Gen'er didn't give the specific reason. Perhaps at this time, when there are thousands of words to say but nothing to say, Master Hong Ren sighed and said: "I must have followed that idiot Li Chun'er."

Just looking for Kunlun. Kunlun is Li Chun'er's obsession, and the friendship between Hui Jue and him is not Hui Jue's obsession. Everyone has obsession, just like me, wanting to save this place is also an obsession.

I will never give up until I die."

After saying this, Master Hongren sang a Buddhist chant, and finally said quietly: "Whether you have obsessions in your heart is the difference between a mortal and a Buddha."

I don’t understand this obsession, just like I don’t understand how the pursuit of goodness can become an obsession. Maybe I haven’t reached that level. In Master Hongren’s emotion, I only noticed one sentence:

Never give up until death? Is it possible?

Master Hongren noticed my thoughts and said to me: "I died ten years ago, and my soul remains here just to continue to save these thousands of struggling and suffering souls, Amitabha."

When he said this, Master Hongren looked calm and talked about his own life and death, as if he was talking about something as simple as eating today, but we are not calm at all. What kind of feelings is this? Regardless of whether it is according to Taoism or Buddhism

According to some experts, a soul like Master Hongren can completely transcend, and even escape from the pain of reincarnation. Yet he actually stayed in this hell?

But Master Hongren didn't want to talk more about this matter, just as he didn't want to comment more on the behavior of my master and Uncle Hui. But Hui Gen'er finally shed tears and knelt down again regardless of Master Hongren's objection.

,

After bowing his head, he kowtowed three times, clasped his hands and said, "Master is in front of me, but I didn't recognize him when I passed by. Now that Master and uncle are in front of me, I have to kneel down and bow first before talking."

, go back and kowtow to Master."

Master uncle? Master? These two titles caused a shock in my heart like a tsunami. According to Hui Gen'er, the ferryman we saw turned out to be Uncle Hui's master. The person in front of us turned out to be Uncle Hui's master.

As soon as Hui Gen'er finished speaking, Jue Yuan also knelt down. He was about to kowtow regardless, but Master Hong Ren stopped him. He said: "It is understandable that he worships me, but it is not right for you to worship me."

I can't stand it, because strictly speaking, my junior brother (younger brother) and I are at odds with each other, and I don't belong to your lineage, so you can't worship me."

Jue Yuan didn't know what to say. He could only sigh, stood up, performed a Buddhist salute to Master Hongren, and said: "Although Master does not belong to our lineage, he has been one of our ancestors for hundreds of years."

Jue Yuan, the most outstanding person in this lineage, cannot kneel to you now, but the respect in his heart cannot be expressed even with three bows and nine kowtows."

However, Master Hongren shook his head and said with a smile: "When I have lived to this point, all the etiquette in the world is no longer important. Respect in the heart is true respect. If there is no respect in the heart, what is the use of practicing all the etiquette on a temporary basis? That's all.

, I can’t be regarded as the most outstanding first person, how can he be okay with Fazhao? He was the first person back then, and he and Taoist Lao Li came here and really did a great thing."

I heard the news about my master again. It turns out that Jue Yuan, the powerful predecessor who entered the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts, was called Fa Zhao. He was the one who entered the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts with my master?

Faced with Master Hongren's question, Jue Yuan quickly and respectfully answered: "After my uncle entered the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts, he was exhausted both mentally and physically, and he passed away not long after."

Master Hongren sighed after hearing this, and then said: "He is considered consummated. He and Lao Li did that great thing. I can only follow in his footsteps and come here with my junior brother to guard all this for him."

, when you arrive, the opportunity will also arrive.”

At this point, he suddenly added: "Back then, I thought it was the young monks Li Chun'er and Huijue who would trigger this opportunity, but I didn't expect that all the people who came would be my grandchildren, haha."

Master Hongren showed a child-like smile again.

But I was thinking, was it supposed to be my master and the others? It seems that there are a lot of secrets involved, but Master Hongren seemed a little anxious and unwilling to explain too much. Under my confused eyes,

, only said one sentence: "However, it must not be them, because after I came here, I learned about Lao Li's statement, saying that his generation of apprentices cannot trigger this opportunity, and they have to wait for the next generation."

So, it seems that this matter is the fate that has led us to this place, but Master and the others deliberately avoided this place. So does Uncle Hui know that his Master is here? In fact, Uncle Hui has never

He never mentioned anything about his master in front of me

Master Hongren's words made my mind turn over and over again, but there was no answer for any of them. Everything pointed to my god-like master, who arranged all this and calculated every one.

node of destiny

"I don't have much time. I made an exception this time and it cost me a lot. Who is Li Chun'er's disciple?" Master Hongren suddenly asked.

It turns out that there is really not much time. This confirmed my guess. Master Hongren can do all this here, who said he has paid a price. Although I had doubts in my heart, when Master Hongren asked me, how could I dare to be negligent?
