Chapter 16: Flesh Form, Soul Form, Dharma Body Form
This Taoist priest! Don't mention stealing the chicken again. If you hadn't stolen the chicken, why would you be standing in front of that array? Hey, my scalp goes numb just thinking about it.
Bai Zeqing exhaled a breath, rubbed the little wooden figure, and asked doubtfully: "Don't the Taoist want this wooden sculpture? Why do you want to give it back to me?" She didn't think that the Taoist was someone who would be strict about morality in such matters.
.
"Of course it's more fragrant than three thousand taels." The Taoist said matter-of-factly.
"!!!" Bai Zeqing almost couldn't breathe: Oops, that feeling of being blackmailed came again.
The corner of Bai Zeqing's mouth turned up with a very stiff smile, and he tried to explain the truth sincerely, saying: "Taoist Priest, this little wooden figure is very important to me, because it was left to me by my closest relatives.
Think about it. But as far as you are concerned, apart from the slightly exquisite workmanship, there is nothing special about it." This was what puzzled her: this Taoist priest is also capable, and
If you are not a child, why would you be so interested in it?
"Are you stupid?" The Taoist priest gently knocked on the big red incense table under the statue of the pharmacist, and said compassionately: "Your puppet is about to die, I will help you stabilize it. If you don't charge more, just add three thousand taels."
.”
Bai Zeqing laughed angrily, took a deep breath, and was silent. Finally, he simply held the wooden sculpture in his hands and handed it forward, saying, "How about I leave this with you?"
"I asked, he wants to follow you." The Taoist priest replied absentmindedly, walked slowly to the window, took off the gourd from his waist and took a sip of wine. He looked down the mountain and squinted slightly, as if he was looking at something interesting.
"???" Bai Zeqing felt that this Taoist priest was getting more and more outrageous. She gritted her teeth: You should ask the wood carving now to let him speak. It's three thousand taels to the death!
But when she thought that this Taoist priest could even say that the wood sculpture almost died - wait, she suddenly remembered the sudden vibration of the wood sculpture in her arms last night...
She stared at the wood carving very seriously for a long time, and realized that it was really just a wood carving! The most different thing from ordinary wood carvings was that it was a dark red color soaked in blood.
No way?
She quickly shook her head vigorously: Even I was stunned.
But the scene that hit her soul last night appeared in her mind again, and she asked in a strange way: "Taoist priest, can you tell me why the wood carving almost died? And, you said, my wood carving is
..." She thought about the word for a moment, "Puppet? What is a puppet?"
"Believe it or not." The Taoist took another sip of wine and was too lazy to pay attention to her.
"It's not that I don't believe it, it's that I don't understand! Master said, if you don't understand, just ask!"
"Get on and don't disturb me while I drink."
Bai Zeqing rolled his eyes and decided to change his mind: "Taoist Master, I can draw thangkas and I can make money. If I buy wine, buy good wine!"
"Can you draw thangkas?" The Taoist priest was finally willing to look down the mountain and glanced back at her.
"My mother taught me line drawing and my uncle taught me thangka painting since I was a child, so I learned it. It's just that my painting skills are much worse than my uncle's, but I can still make a little money by selling them in the market." Bai Zeqing explained seriously.
The Taoist priest nodded, "Tsk, this is business, hurry up and paint."
"Then tell me, why did the woodcarving almost die?"
"Are you done yet?"
"Is there any secret that cannot be told?" Bai Zeqing was also troubled, "If it has nothing to do with me, I will definitely not ask, but this wood carving is really important to me! The master said that he knows everything he knows and can't tell you anything!
Either you don’t say anything, or you have to make it clear? Taoist priest!"
Bai Zeqing knew that this Taoist priest was vicious and arrogant on the surface, but not only did he not hurt her at all, but he also saved her many times. At this time, he knew that he was hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and he looked at her stubbornly.
He struggled to show off the momentum she had pretended not to give up until she achieved her goal.
The Taoist priest took a deep sip of the wine, and Bai Zeqing could smell the smell of wine mixed with osmanthus. The Taoist priest was close at hand in a blink of an eye. Before anyone could react, he scolded: "Close your eyes."
Bai Zeqing subconsciously followed the instructions, and then she felt the Taoist priest pat her head heavily, his fingers lightly scratched her temple, and then she felt as if his fingertips lightly swept across her eyes.
Her eyes suddenly felt a little hot, and the scent of sweet-osmanthus suddenly became strong and clear. After a while, the scent gradually faded away, and the burning sensation was far away.
"Open your eyes," the Taoist said.
Bai Zeqing was a little scared, but she still opened her eyes, and then she was stunned.
In front of us is still the Medicine Master Hall of Tingquan Temple. There is no difference in the furnishings, but the color and outline are all tinged with gray, giving it an indescribable feeling of weirdness.
What was even weirder was that she caught a glimpse of the glazed window not far away. She almost screamed again.
The glazed window was open, with a black wall as the background, and two shadows were reflected inside, which should be her and the Taoist priest.
The reason why I say it should be because you can't see the original shape at all. In fact, the outline has not changed, but the outline is simply empty and white, like a dummy made of white snow reflected in the glass.
There is a small scar on her forehead from when Ningzhou City was destroyed, but there is nothing about the snowman-like outline in the glass. It is clearly her, but it seems to be another person. This outline is vaguely surrounded by white air, but it is faint.
It's like an illusion.
So it looked even weirder. If it hadn't been during the day, it would have been a good sign of being haunted.
"What the hell?" Bai Zeqing's voice broke, "How did I become like this?"
"What a fuss." The Taoist priest rolled his eyes, "Let you see what I can see."
"Taoist Taoist priest, do you usually look at this thing?" Bai Zeqing shuddered, muttering in his heart, no wonder it's not normal.
"What you usually see is called the physical body, and what you see now is called the soul. If you are a person with advanced Taoism, you can also see the Dharmakaya."
"What is that white smoke on my body? Does everyone have it?" Bai Zeqing suddenly felt that he was very caring and could still ask questions.
"No, you are very clean." The Taoist priest rolled his eyes: If his soul had not been clean and he had some strange resentment, he would not have bothered to care about you in the first place.
"Damn, clean?" Bai Zeqing looked confused. Her clothes were weathered and rolled uphill, are they clean?
"Normal people will have lingering black energy, more or less. You are very clean." The Taoist paused, "Like a child."
All mortals have desires that cannot be realized and gradually turn into delusions. If they cannot be driven away, they form black energy that entangles their souls.
The more obstacles there are, the heavier the delusions, the more grievances, and the heavier the black energy. For those whose souls were completely wrapped and entangled by the black energy during life, the false grievances are too heavy, eating away at the soul, and it is difficult to enter reincarnation after death. And this energy remains in the world.
If it is too strong and lingers for a long time, it will easily create resentment and endanger others.
That’s why there are evil spirits cultivating evil spirits to devour them to improve their cultivation.
"Does the white smoke mean that the soul is clean? Do most people have black energy?" Bai Zeqing seemed to understand, but felt that the soul was quite straightforward.
She originally wanted to ask something else, but hearing the Taoist priest's cold voice, it was clear that she had no patience anymore, so she swallowed back ten thousand questions.
It's better not to ask. She wanted to go to the window to see if other people had black energy, or if one of these great monks might be considered advanced enough to see any dharma body. But her current vision and senses were too limited.
It was strange. She wanted to look down at the road, and at a glance she saw that the wooden sculpture in her hand was shining with a light golden light, and in this golden light, there were clear cracks on the chest of the little wooden figure. How could this be possible? She took a closer look at the wooden sculpture after taking it.
, clearly remembered that it was intact.
"Taoist Master, what's wrong with the wood?" Bai Zeqing trembled and looked at the Taoist priest in panic. Only then did he realize that the Taoist priest also looked spotless, but there was a slight... subtle difference.
The outline of the Taoist priest is traced with a golden edge. The pure white mist seems to be evenly distributed in the outline within the golden edge, but the whole is a bit illusory, as if separated by thousands of mountains and fog, it is clearly in front of you, but it is not clear, but it is
The gourd on the Taoist priest's waist is sparkling and eye-catching.
"Tao Dao Dao Priest, you..." Bai Zeqing stuttered, "Why are you like this?"
"Dharmakaya form."
"Oh! So this is the Dharma Body!" Bai Zeqing breathed out a sigh of relief. Um, so he really has a profound Taoism? She quickly asked, "Taoist Master, I remember that there are no cracks in this wood carving."
"Thanks to you, your puppet blocked your resentment in the formation."
Therefore, the vibration and warmth are not illusions, they are real! So, is Brother Qi protecting her?
