Chapter 31, Refuge

What is their center?

My eyes suddenly lit up, and after connecting these things, I thought of it.

Is it a human?

No, right!

By the way, it’s the human heart! Yes, it’s the human heart!

No, not right, it is the heart! It is not the human heart! It is the heart, it is all hearts, it is greed!

If you are not satisfied, you will seek and fight for the one that should not belong to you. It is a natural gift after it is forced to ask for it.

These are the dirtiest!

These hearts do not know how to be grateful, do not know how to repay, do not understand the true meaning of the cycle of retribution. Therefore, they are greedy, they are cunning and insidious, and do whatever they want to get!

That's why it's dirty! That's why it pollutes the pure artistic conception of this Dharma and is separated from the original intention of nature gifts!

So the heart is the dirtiest! Greed is the dirtiest! Selfishness is the dirtiest!

What is purity and cleanness?

pure?

I still closed my eyes and recalled the surroundings.

Is it a natural landscape with beautiful mountains and rivers? Is it a magnificent astronomical wonder that looks up to you? Or is it a pure love pursued in a heroic love story?

These can only be one-sided purity. What is true purity?

Is it the kind of desirelessness and desirelessness in philosophy? It is the tranquility and inaction in Taoism? It seems that they rarely completely absorb the words purity and cleanliness.

None of them, these are too general and too single!

What exactly is pure and clean?

Pure, pure, pure...

I muttered this word in my mouth, and occasionally, a flash of inspiration!

I vaguely remember a certain passage that reads: "In this world, only children's eyes will be full of purity and there will be no discrimination."

It's the eyes!

It's the gaze!

Right! This is not only children, but also cubs from the millions of species in nature.

They are the firstborn creatures, the process of evolution from the beginning to the end of the world.

It is a window to purify the soul. Only the pure and transparent eyes of children and young people are the purest and cleanest. They have no distractions in their hearts, no greed, and no instincts to control their thoughts.

If there is anything in this world that is purer and more expressive than a child’s heart, only the clearest gaze!

It seems that I have figured out a lot of things at once.

I figured out the direction of Xiaoqi and Xiaoyu’s practice.

A person has gone through hardships in the world in order to cultivate the mind of Tao.

In order to preserve the heart of Tao, one never adds so much mess to his head.

Therefore, one will have the same thoughts as a mortal, while the other will be calm even when seeing the dirtiest things in the world. Therefore, Master Xiaoyu has the kind of Taoist heart that is untainted by the mud, and Master Xiaoqi has the Taoist heart that can transcend all constraints.

And I am a mortal, and I have a lot of concerns, reluctance, and even greed and delusions. These of me have formed my personality and made me more like a person!

I suddenly opened my eyes, looked at Master Xiaoqi and asked, "Mr. Xiaoqi, what is your dust?"

Master Xiaoqi smiled and asked me back: "How do you know that there is dust in my heart?"

I shook my head. My heart had not yet escaped from the realm of realizing the mind of enlightenment. My tone seemed very calm. I said, "Intuition."

Master Xiaoqi smiled and said, "It's very accurate. Not only do I have it, but also Xiaoyu. We are all still missing the last step."

"The last step?" I don't quite understand.

Master Xiaoqi said quietly: "The body of Xiaoyu and I are not humans. I think you have guessed this."

I nodded.

Master Xiaoqi continued, "Have you heard of the City of Qingqiu?"

"Brother Fat said that's a place that only the big monster can go."

Master Xiaoqi smiled slightly and said, "In fact, the City of Qingqiu is a refuge."

Ah? Refuge?

I said curiously: "The Great Monster's refuge?"

In fact, what is a big monster?

Among the so-called ghosts, spirits, spirits, monsters, and monsters, monsters are almost comparable to gods and immortals. What else would you fear in this kind of thing? If you really can move mountains and seas as recorded in ancient myths, it may be more powerful than the current nuclear weapons, not to mention that gods and immortals can travel proudly in the void and instantly thousands of miles.

Do such a powerful existence still need to take refuge?

Master Xiaoqi nodded and said, "In fact, I don't know why it is called a refuge. It seems that from the time I can understand and sense its existence, it gave me such a message. The refuge... Haha, I don't understand, I don't understand what it means. But I can feel it."

What do you feel? Are you a refuge? I ask.

"No, it's a punishment from there." Master Xiaoqi pointed.

I frowned and asked uncertainly after that: "Heavenly Tribulation?"

"Maybe." Master Xiaoqi said, "I don't know what it is, is it? Is it just a legend in our circle? Have you seen it? Have you heard of it? The so-called heavenly tribulation has only appeared in the records of books. What is the heavenly tribulation? It seems that there are lightning and thunder. But if those things are heavenly tribulation, who can pass it? The voltage of hundreds of millions of volts will melt instantly. Under such terrifying power, no flesh and blood can withstand it."

I was so terrified that if Master Xiaoqi sensed the heavenly tribulation, then the consequences... were unimaginable.

Perhaps, only those legendary monsters can withstand the baptism of lightning, right? But obviously, Master Xiaoqi is just at the top of the spirit, and has not reached the level of spirit.

Let’s speculate that if you go from spirit to spirit, the barrier in the middle is what Master Xiaoqi calls the last step.

So what is the last step?

I couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Xiaoqi, what's your last step?"

"Respond to the disaster." Master Xiaoqi said simply.

Ah? Respond to the disaster!

"Heavenly Tribulation?" I asked nervously.

"It's not the heavenly tribulation. The punishment I sensed is something that will only be welcomed by taking the last step. But the last step is the key to responding to the tribulation. The tribulation is the mental tribulation, which means that I don't know where, who will fall, who or what will fall on." Master Xiaoqi sighed and said.

I comforted me, "Since it's not that kind of terrifying thunder disaster, it doesn't matter."

Master Xiaoqi shook his head and said, "If you only need to deal with the disaster, your cultivation will turn into flowing water for a hundred years. Practicing something like us is a great deviant thing."

I retorted: "You can't think so. Can't people practice to follow the will of heaven? All things in the world are equal. The so-called opportunity for those who are prepared can also be left to all prepared and opportunities for creatures. This is not a problem. I think, it's just that people need to go higher and farther to feel the kind of heavenly disaster in the dark."

Master Xiaoqi smiled and said, "My senior brother, this disciple, is really good. Although he has no ability, your heart has been tempered a lot. You are right. We monsters have a refuge called Qingqiu City, and you also have it."

"We have it too?" I said in surprise.

"Of course, people also have a refuge. A place that often appears in mythological stories."

I quickly passed through my heart, and then asked carefully: "What Master Xiaoqi said about Heaven?"

"Isn't it just it?" Master Xiaoqi replied with a smile.

Depend on!

Isn’t the Heavenly Court a place where gods live? How come it has become a refuge?

Isn’t this a person who has achieved success in practicing Taoism, and he has to take refuge? It’s strange, what kind of disaster are they avoiding? Let those big figures in mythology take refuge in the heaven?

Forget it, I'm too lazy to think about it. These things are too far away and amazing to me. It's really one of the first time I've heard of such strange fallacies in my life. Let's just be a fallacy...

After my questions and answers, my master Xiaoqi and I learned from the experience, the sun completely set on the other side of the mountain, and the stars had already hung in the air.

Master Xiaoqi raised his head, looked at the stars in the sky, and said, "It's really strange that you can't see Wen Kuixing from here."

I don’t understand astronomy and don’t know what Wenkuixing is. So, I asked curiously: “Which star is Wenkuixing?”

Master Xiaoqi explained: "Wenkuixing, also known as Wenquxing. There is a TV series you must have watched. "The Legend of the New White Snake", in which Xu Xian's son is Wenquxing descending to the earth. It is also one of the seven stars of the Big Dipper that ordinary people call.

In Taoist star science, it is called Tianquan Star. Among the seven stars in the sky, the one connecting the handle of the bucket and the bucket spoon is it.

But you see, six of the seven stars are shining, but Tianquan star is dim and light, and all the power of Wentong and Quyi cannot be integrated into the school from Tianquan star. This is a very strange thing. Generally, this situation will only happen in a turbulent year, or a place where people and gods are angry.

But there is obviously no here. The vast country of China is now prosperous and in its prime, it is definitely not worthy of the word "turmoil". This is another century-old institution, and the royal palace has been nourished by the thin dragon energy for hundreds of years. It cannot be a place where both humans and gods are angry."

I nodded and responded: "It's really strange to say so." So I tried to infer and asked: "My little sister, is there anything that can absorb or rebound to block the starlight of Tianquan?"

Master Xiaoqi was shocked and asked me with big eyes: "What did you think of it?"

What could I think of?

I said strangely, "That's what I thought of."

"Let's go out and have a look." Master Xiaoqi dragged me out.

I was pulled and soon ran to the school gate.

After leaving the school gate, the little teacher raised his head and looked at the starry sky while walking away from the school.

The traffic was full of traffic that night, and the little teacher's aunt actually plunged into the flowing traffic without hesitation. I was so scared that I ran over and grabbed her. I said, "Little teacher, be careful of the car."
Chapter completed!
