In the Zen courtyard, everyone looked at each other, but after a moment, they all looked surprised.
At first, I really didn’t understand what Su Twelve meant.
After all, everyone knows the word "Buddha", and there is no reason why people in the Buddhist sect should not recognize it.
But when the last question was asked, the monk understood it, and naturally many monks also understood it.
Standing not far away from Su Twelve, Xu Qingfeng said thoughtfully: "So that's it, the last test was the phase. The so-called phase is all false. And this second test is Buddhism.
The persistence in it.”
As soon as these words came out, a voice from the crowd immediately sounded, "Zhi?"
Many monks understand the key points, but there are also some who have deep obsessions and still look confused.
Xu Qingfeng has always had a good reputation in the Holy Land of Immortal Cultivation. When faced with other people's inquiries, he immediately patiently answered them.
"The word 'Buddha' is by no means as simple as its superficial meaning. To become a Buddha, one must forget the Buddha. The fundamental meaning lies in letting go of attachments."
"Whether it is 'image' or 'attachment', the root of it is the cultivation of the state of mind. We, Xuanmen Taoists, also have the same thing."
Someone asked again, "What are the similarities? How can you see them?"
Xu Qingfeng continued to explain: "The purpose of Taoist mystical cultivation is to cultivate immortality and seek the Tao, and if you want to obtain the Tao, the aim is to understand rather than seek. To achieve the Tao and forget the Tao first is to let go of obsession."
When these words came out, all the monks present nodded thoughtfully.
Immediately afterwards, several monks clasped their hands and thanked Xu Qingfeng: "As expected of Fellow Daoist Xu from the Centenary Academy, this insight is truly extraordinary. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xu, for answering our questions."
"Fellow Taoists, you are too polite. Xu is just observing what this fellow Taoist does and has some impressions. If he really wants to have extraordinary insights, it has to be this fellow Taoist."
Xu Qingfeng smiled and turned to look at Su Twelve in front of him.
"My Taoist friends have extraordinary insights. I don't know which school or sect they are from or what their name is."
?”
"A small sect is not worth mentioning. I, Wang Su, am just a nobody in the world of immortality."
Facing Xu Qingfeng's inquiry, Su Twelve did not choose to ignore it.
It's just that the Guxian Sect is in a special situation, so he naturally knows it and has not mentioned any inheritance. As for his identity, it is naturally the pseudonym he uses now.
Xu Qingfeng hurriedly smiled and said: "It turns out to be fellow Taoist Wang. Fellow Taoist can defeat two tests of the Buddhist sect. He may have been unknown in the past, but after today, there will be a fellow Taoist whose reputation will be spread in the Holy Land of Immortal Cultivation."
"Fellow Daoist Xu praised me. Wang is seeking the Tao sincerely and never cares about reputation. The Half-Immortal Artifact of Quicksand Land is related to the evil disaster on Azure Star. I am here just to seek peace for the countless creatures on Azure Star."
Su Twelve shrugged and responded calmly.
As he spoke, his gaze shifted to the doorway in front of him.
"Indeed, the demons are causing trouble, and it is rare for the common people in the world of immortality to have peace. Now that the test of the Zen Academy has been passed, we, with the help of fellow Taoist Wang, can meet the owner of this place and find a way to break the situation!"
Xu Qingfeng nodded and continued speaking.
The sound was not loud, but it shocked everyone's spirits, and they all stared at the courtyard door.
Su Twelve was the closest and the first to move forward.
However, as soon as he took a step forward, he heard a sound of "dong dong dong, clang, clang, clang".
Immediately, I saw a monk with his hands clasped together, his feet in the air and his head on the ground, jumping out of the backyard.
"Wait a minute! Donor, wait a minute. Please help the benefactor relieve the difficulties of all sentient beings, and also solve the problems for the poor monks."
The monk said while jumping, and in an instant he was at Su Twelve
in front of me.
"Master, what's the problem?" Su Twelve hurriedly stopped and asked the person in front of him.
"Ha! I heard from the mirror grinder that a monk with as much wisdom as the sea came to the Zen monastery, who can solve the problem of the poor monk. When he saw it, the result was no different from that of the crazy sentient being, but he disappointed the poor monk!"
The monk gave a light drink, but his face showed dissatisfaction as soon as he spoke.
These words came out, making all the monks present startled again.
His eyes were focused on the monk in front of him, and he was confused for a moment, and his eyes were even more sulky.
On the one hand, Su Twelve solved the two tests of the Buddhist sect in front of him, which showed that he had extraordinary insight and was definitely not a crazy person.
On the other hand, the implication of what the monk in front of me said was undoubtedly that everyone else present, and even the world, were all crazy people.
Su Twelve's expression remained unchanged, with a faint smile on his lips, and he asked aloud: "Oh? It's no different from crazy sentient beings? Master, where do you start with these words?"
"The poor monk discovered that people in this world are all crazy people, and everyone is walking upside down. The poor monk wants to help all living beings, but the people in the world are stubborn and accuse the poor monk of being a crazy and demonic monk. The mirror grinder said that the donor is smart and has some abilities.
Great wisdom, unexpectedly... he is also a stubborn person!"
The monk continued to make noises, his body kept jumping up, and then his head hit the ground, making continuous thumping sounds.
"Oh? How did Master know that all living beings in the world walk upside down?" Su Twelve raised his eyebrows and asked thoughtfully.
The monk chuckled lightly, "Ha! When the poor monk raised his eyes, he saw that everyone was with their heads down and their feet up. Isn't this the best evidence?"
After he said this, many monks in the crowd immediately jeered softly.
"Ha! This monk obviously walks upside down by himself, but he says that the world is upside down. It turns out that he is walking upside down by himself.
What a crazy monk."
"It is impossible for a member of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect to do something like this without any reason. I'm afraid... it will be another test for the master of the Zen Temple here."
"Test? What can this test?"
"It's hard to say! However, the most important thing in Buddhist practice is the state of mind. Although the Dharma is different from the Xuanzong Taoism, at its root, it also has the same purpose. If we can understand the truth clearly, it will also be of great help to our state of mind.
."
"That's true! After the two tests just now, I clearly understood the reasons, and many of the confusions in my state of mind were instantly solved. I just don't know, what is the true meaning of this test?"
"I don't understand Buddhism, so I can't make random guesses. Let's see if this fellow Taoist Wang can solve the mystery and see through the key. As the saying goes, there are only three things that can happen. I think this should be the last test here."
…
Amidst the laughter, everyone whispered.
In an instant, everyone's expressions straightened up again, and they continued to look at Su Twelve in front of them.
"Oh? Master, you want to solve the mystery, save all sentient beings, and guide the world to the right path?" Su Twelve's eyes flashed with two gleams, and he asked with a smile.
The monk clasped his hands together and said seriously: "Amitabha, this is exactly the great wish of this poor monk!"
Su Twelve said calmly: "Actually... I and Master also have the same troubles. A long time ago, I discovered that the way people walk is wrong!"
The monk continued to ask, "If this is the case, why does the donor walk upside down?"
"Because...if you don't walk in the same way as the rest of the world, the rest of the world won't listen to what I have to say. If you can't let the rest of the world listen to what you have to say, then naturally you won't be able to let the rest of the world know that the way you're walking is wrong."
Su Twelve pondered for a moment and then continued.
