Chapter 371 Eight Sufferings

  After the test was over, the hawks and pigeons were taken away by the Xiangxiang Bodhisattva, and two of the hawks cried especially sadly.

  Xiangxiang Bodhisattva had no choice but to comfort the two eagle demons, telling them that they had encountered an extreme case, and that the way of thinking of those two people was different from that of ordinary people, so don't raise the special case to the entire human race.

  Jiang Li felt that he had proved his wisdom in the first two tests, so he would definitely be favored by Manjusri Bodhisattva.

  Bai Hongtu felt that he had proved his talent in understanding people's hearts in the first two tests, and he would definitely win the favor of his Xintong inheritance.

   "It's a mere inheritance, and it's easy to grasp." The two were full of ambition.

   "Next, the third test begins. There are eight sufferings in life, which are birth, old age, sickness, death, separation from love, long-term resentment, unfulfilled desires, and the prosperity of the five yins."

   "Next, the benefactors will forget everything and experience the eight hardships of life in their dreams."

  A monk asked: "Then how to judge right and wrong?"

  Xiangxiang Bodhisattva held the beads in his hand, closed his eyes and folded his palms together, showing a serene smile: "In the face of the eight sufferings of life, there is no right or wrong. This test is just to see how the benefactors deal with the eight sufferings of life."

  She bowed to the sky: "Please sleep with Arhat to cast spells."

  The secret realm of sentient beings is echoed by the Fragrant Elephant Bodhisattva, and a phantom of a thin arhat appears in the air. This arhat is topless, sleeping on his side, unable to see his face clearly.

  As the chest of Sleeping Arhat Phantom rose and fell, the monks gradually became sleepy and fell into a dream.

  …

  Yuan Wuxing woke up slowly, his mind was fuzzy, he felt that he had forgotten something very important.

   "Where is this?"

  Yuan Wuxing found himself unable to stretch his hands and feet, as if trapped in a cocoon.

   But the cocoon is very comfortable, and there is a warm breath around him to nourish his body.

   "Innate Qi?" A word that he didn't even know the meaning of suddenly popped up in Yuan Wuxing's mind.

   "I remember that innate qi is produced when women conceive life..."

  Thinking made Yuan Wuxing feel tired, he fell asleep drowsily, and then woke up again after an unknown period of time.

"Wow-"

  Yuan Wuxing burst into tears, he was born, and with his birth, the innate energy dissipated without a trace, no matter how hard he stretched out his little hand, he couldn't catch it.

  The turbid acquired air enveloped Yuan Wuxing, and the acquired air made him feel uncomfortable and burst into tears.

  As he gradually grew up, he adapted to the acquired turbidity and forgot the wonderful experience he had when he was a fetus.

  In this world, immortals and mortals are separated, and the immortal family is high above them.

  He was born in a wealthy family and has no worries about food and clothing, but he is not satisfied with this.

   "I heard that there are immortals in the world who transcend the world. I want to cultivate immortals."

  For some reason, Yuan Wuxing yearns to cultivate immortality very much. Perhaps it is because of the fact that he has no worries about food and clothing, or because he likes to become stronger, or because of other reasons.

  The disciples of the Immortal Family tested Yuan Wuxing's spiritual root, and ruthlessly refused: "The five elements' spiritual root, the **** in the spiritual root, asking you to cultivate immortality is just a waste of spiritual energy, go away."

  The disciples of the Xian family threw Yuan Wuxing down the mountain, turned around and closed the door, and no longer received guests.

  Yuan Wuxing did not give up, and went to find other fairy families, but the answers of other fairy families were the same:

  The spiritual roots of the five elements are not worthy of cultivating immortals.

  Even the monks commented behind their backs: "No wonder your parents named you Yuan Wuxing. I'm afraid they knew you were just a waste of the five elements when you were born."

  Yuan Wuxing was furious and tried his best to find this monk, but the monk flicked his sleeves and severely injured Yuan Wuxing, leaving him to fend for himself.

  Yuan Wuxing's parents learned about this, they went up the mountain in the rain, moved Yuan Wuxing down overnight, and asked the best doctor to treat him, which saved Yuan Wuxing's life.

  Yuan Wuxing's parents were old, and they went up the mountain in the rain to get wind and cold.

  The huge family business was inherited by Yuan Wuxing. Yuan Wuxing was extremely talented in business. Over the past ten years, the family business has doubled several times and he has become a well-known rich man in the country.

  After a fairy family learned about this, they went down the mountain and told Yuan Wuxing that if he was willing to disperse his family fortune and accumulate merit, the fairy family could guarantee him to draw energy into his body and become a monk.

   "With my talent, how far can I go on the fairy road?"

   "The spiritual root of the five elements is the lowest grade among the spiritual roots. Even if one draws qi into the body, it will only be the third level of qi training in a lifetime, and it will be difficult to go up one step further."

  Yuan Wuxing fell into a dilemma. He was unwilling to let go of his family business, and he did not want to become a monk at the bottom.

  He finally gave up cultivating immortals and guarding the huge family business.

  He can't let go of wealth and honor for the rest of his life.

   Decades later, Yuan Wuxing was seriously ill and could not be cured, even the immortals were helpless.

  Yuan Wuxing has been tortured by illness for ten years, and he is exhausted physically and mentally, but he survived after all, but he lacks five senses, and life is better than death.

  At this time, he was very old and wanted to continue to run the family business, but he was powerless, his thinking was intermittent, he couldn't connect, made many wrong decisions, and suffered heavy losses.

  Yuan Wuxing knows that this is because he is old and confused, and it is difficult to compare with when he was young.

  The fact that the Yuan family can achieve what they are now is all due to Yuan Wuxing's wise decisions when he was young.

   But he is old and has no deterrent effect.

  The old and disabled Yuan Wuxing is the young boy who can't stop spying on the Yuan family's property.

  The Yuan family was worried that the Yuan family's property would be divided up by Xiaoxiao, so they directly emptied Yuan Wuxing and divided up the Yuan family first.

  In the end, Yuan Wuxing didn't even leave a single copper plate.

  Yuan Wuxing was penniless, blind in both eyes, wandering the streets, living in a daze, waiting for death to come.

   "I was born with nothing, and I have nothing before I die. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Yuan Wuxing laughed at himself.

  As the deadline approached, Yuan Wuxing's consciousness became more and more blurred.

  With nothing, loss of five senses, and hazy consciousness, Yuan Wuxing huddled into a ball, gradually overlapping with the appearance in the womb.

  Five elements, spiritual root, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, cultivating immortals... Words that have troubled him all his life circled in his mind, and he began to reflect and realize suddenly.

  Five elements, five colors, five elements, five colors...

  Yuan's five-element finger appeared the prototype of the five-color divine light, and with a light touch, the matter in this area disappeared.

   This five-color divine light seemed to have exhausted all the vitality of Yuan Wuxing, and he died after all.

  Passers-by looked at this desolate old man in amazement, his body turned into rainbow lights of five colors and disappeared.

  People saw this and bowed down one after another.

  …

  The Fragrant Elephant Bodhisattva raised his head, and the Peacock Daming King passed on his intentions, as if he valued a certain candidate.

  Xiangxiang Bodhisattva looked at Yuan Wuxing following the intention of Peacock Daming King's inheritance, with a surprised expression on his face: "Yuan Wuxing benefactor is in the eight sufferings of life, the first seven sufferings are mediocre, only death does not feel pain, but a great enlightenment, comprehend the rudimentary form of five-color divine light, and finally rainbow, good and good."
