Chapter 72 The bitter fruit

In the quiet ward, Qin Yu sat cross-legged on the bed, breathing evenly. A faint light flashed on him from time to time, and Qin Yu's hands changed to form a special mudra.

With the formation of this special handprint, dots of light flashed faster and faster. Just when the light seemed to leave Qin Yu's body surface, two red haloes of different shades appeared around Qin Yu, and the light touched

The red halo dissipated immediately.

"Why!"

Qin Yu let out a long sigh and opened his eyes. His delicate cheeks were pale, as if he had experienced a serious illness and had not recovered for a long time.

"With all this evil karma, even the speed of my cultivation has slowed down."

In the past, according to the mental method of Zhuge Neijing, although the mental power in the body did not increase much after running for a week, Qin Yu could still feel that the mental power increased. This time, he did not feel any increase in the mental power after running the mental method for a week.

Qin Yu's brows furrowed. His bad karma this time also made him reflect. Since he obtained the Zhuge Neijing, it has been a smooth journey. Qin Yu has gradually become a little arrogant. If not for the Qianlong's takeoff this time,

With Zhuiying's help, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to draw the Heaven Stealing Talisman at all. If he wasn't too arrogant, he could observe the details of the Jingxiu District and feel the flow of dragon energy before casting the spell.

There will be no tragedy of two dragons fighting.

This incident was a wake-up call for Qin Yu. There is no room for sloppiness in Feng Shui. You must be careful at all times. Any omission may cause a huge disaster.

Regarding evil karma, Zhuge Neijing does not have detailed records. It just mentions that any Feng Shui master who does something that harms the heaven and earth will have a red halo on the body. This red halo is like an aura.

The isolation circle will block the blessing of luck, and at the same time, it will absorb some bad auras, such as mourning, sadness, poverty, widowhood...

People who have been affected by these auras for a long time will not only have bad luck in their own lives, but also have an impact on their family members, just like a virus carrier, infecting people with the same aura as them.

The only way to eliminate bad karma is to accumulate more merit and do more good deeds. There is no shortcut. The so-called putting down the butcher knife and becoming a Buddha immediately is just a method used by Buddhism to promote Buddhism. How can a person whose hands are stained with blood?

Just by chanting sutras and chanting Buddha's name, you can eliminate bad karma.

"It's useless to stay in this hospital. It's not here at all. No matter how you recover, it's useless."

Qin Yu got dressed and got out of bed, went to the balcony, and looked up at the starry sky. The two evil karma were added to his body, which gave him a huge blow. Otherwise, he would not have been so excited that he fainted on the spot...

"Xiaoyu, you really need to be discharged from the hospital. I see that your face is still a little pale. Why don't you stay under observation for a few more days? The doctor also suggested that we stay for a few more days."

"Cousin, I know my own health well. It's almost good. Besides, doctors don't give me several bottles of nutrient solution every day. They naturally hope that I can stay here for a long time. A day in this high-end ward only costs a little.

It’s comparable to a luxury suite in a five-star hotel.”

"Okay, but you still need to get more rest these two days."

Early the next morning, Qin Yu went through the discharge procedures. Fortunately, he didn't bring anything with him when he was hospitalized, so he walked out empty-handed and got into his cousin's car.

Back in the hotel room, Zhuiying was lying quietly on the table. When he saw Qin Yu coming back, he flew to Qin Yu's side with a "whoosh".

"Hey!" Zhuiying's childish voice was full of concern. Qin Yu smiled, reached out to grab Zhuiying, and comforted him: "I know you are worried about me, but it's not a big deal. You will get better soon."

Putting down Zhuiying, Qin Yu took off his clothes and entered the bathroom, intending to take a good shower. In the hospital, no matter how luxurious and hygienic the high-end ward is, Qin Yu always feels uncomfortable when taking a shower.

The weather was in May. After taking a shower, Qin Yu felt much more energetic. He put Zhuiying into the box. Qin Yu locked the door, left the hotel, hailed a taxi and headed to Guangxiao Temple.

Guangxiao Temple was still as crowded as ever. Qin Yu entered the temple and came under the Bodhi tree again. The two masters Zhiren and Kongjian were no longer there. It seems that after finding him, the two masters did not continue to debate Zen here.

Walking along the bodhi tree, Qin Yu admired the scenery of this ancient temple and passed by the Main Hall. Inside, thousands of monks were chanting sutras and chanting Buddha's name. In front of the hall, hundreds of believers knelt on the ground and prayed for the Buddha's blessing.

"Amitabha, this poor monk heard the chirping of magpies early this morning and knew that a distinguished guest was coming. It turned out to be layman Qin."

Qin Yu stood outside the door of the Main Hall, and a group of monks greeted him on the left, led by Master Na Zhiren.

"Hello, Master Zhiren." Qin Yu returned a Buddhist salute.

Zhiren looked at Qin Yu carefully, his eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, he dismissed the monks following him, and asked with a puzzled look on his face:

"What happened to Master Qin these past two days?"

"It's hard to describe in words!"

"If layman Qin has time, he might as well go to the backyard to talk with the poor monk."

"It's so annoying."

Master Zhiren led the way and led Qin Yu through the garden stone path. He met fewer and fewer tourists along the way. At the back, a stone sign was erected on the stone path: The residence of the monks. No idlers are allowed to enter.

Ahead was the residence of the monks of Guangxiao Temple, which was criss-crossed with courtyards. Zhiren walked straight in. From time to time, monks saluted Master Zhiren along the way, and Zhiren joined his hands in return.

"Junior Qin, my poor monk's residence is simple and crude. Please forgive me."

"Master is too modest. The Zen room is full of flowers and trees. The Zen fragrance in Master's courtyard alone is a rare and exquisite product."

Qin Yu followed Zhiren into a Zen courtyard. The Zen courtyard was not big, with two rooms and a courtyard. In the courtyard, under a thick tree surrounded by several people, there was a stone table, and in the middle of the stone table was placed

An incense burner with several Zen incense burning on it.

As soon as Qin Yu entered the courtyard, a Zen fragrance hit his nostrils, and his whole mind couldn't help but feel a little calmer. Although Qin Yu didn't understand fragrance, just one smell could make him feel peaceful. This fragrance must be extraordinary.

.

In fact, Zen incense was not originally a name for incense. Buddhism believes that incense has a special relationship with people’s wisdom and virtue. Therefore, Buddhism regards incense as an aid to spiritual practice and advocates the use of incense during practice and meditation.

Take a good atmosphere.

With the subsequent study of Buddhist culture, especially the participation of literati, Zen incense began to become a kind of artistic conception and a poetic spiritual way. Many literati would invite friends, light a Zen incense, and sit down to discuss the Tao.

"Master Qin, please take a seat."

"Master please."

Qin Yu and Master Zhiren sat on both sides of the stone table. Shani offered two cups of tea. Qin Yu thanked him and took it, and Master Zhiren said:

"This is tea from the tea trees planted in the temple. Layman Qin will try to taste it."

Qin Yu picked up the tray under the tea cup, pushed the cup lid halfway, and blew a few breaths. In the Chinese tea ceremony, "the unity of heaven and man" is emphasized. The cup holder is the earth, the cup lid is the sky, and the cup is the human being. If

Picking up the cup and its holder together is called "three talents in one".

When the tea first entered his tongue, a strong bitter taste was instantly transmitted to his brain through the tip of his tongue. Qin Yu almost couldn't help spitting it out. It is said that Buddhism pays attention to "the taste of Zen and tea", using tea to help Zen, and experiencing the bitter silence in the tea.

, to achieve the purpose of practicing Zen. Regardless of whether Zen has been understood or not, at least Qin Yu has experienced the suffering and silence.

"Master Qin, you might as well drink a few more sips." Master Zhiren encouraged him when he saw Qin Yu's facial expression and laughed.

"How many more sips?" Qin Yu felt uncomfortable with just this sip, and he wanted to drink more. If the bitterness makes him sick to his stomach and he spits on your face, don't blame him.

After taking three sips of tea into his throat, Qin Yu gradually tasted a difference. The first sip seemed to be bitter, and the second sip became bitter. By the third sip, he found that the bitterness was reduced, and an elegant breath began.

Wrapped around the tip of his tongue, Qin Yu's eyes lit up and he drank the rest of the tea in one gulp.

"It is said that bitter tea is good for long periods of time. After drinking Master's tea, I really understand." Qin Yu put down the tea cup, and the elegant and faint fragrance still lingered in his mouth.

"Master Qin, can you tell me about the Zen meaning in this bitter tea?" Zhiren asked in a test voice.

"The bodhi tree has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. There is nothing at all. There is no dust. Buddhism emphasizes the elimination of distracting thoughts in the human heart, and tea washes away the dirt on it without leaving a trace."

"Xiao Ke once heard this saying: Silence is the head of Buddha, emptiness is the foundation of Buddha, suffering is the body of Buddha, and hiding is the principle of Buddha. If you want to abide by the Buddha's way, you must participate in the meditation of suffering. If you want to break the thought of suffering, you must

Those who practice bitter tea and tea are true Buddhas!"

"Bitter tea is the true Buddha!" ​​Zhiren recited it silently twice, suddenly relaxed and laughed, stood up, bowed to Qin Yu, and said:

"Zhiren thanks layman Qin for his enlightenment. It's a pity that the poor monk who drank bitter tea from a young age was not as clear-eyed as layman Qin, and could reveal the meaning of Zen with just one word."

Qin Yu saw Master Zhiren's actions and quickly moved away. He did not dare to accept the master's gift and hurriedly explained: "These are what others said, and I just copied them."

"No matter who said it, these words were revealed to the poor monk through the mouth of the layman Qin. The layman Qin deserves a courtesy from the poor monk." Zhiren could not allow Qin Yu to refuse and just bowed respectfully. Qin Yu had no choice but to say,

I had no choice but to accept it.

After Zhiren finished this salute, the two of them sat down again. Zhiren smiled and said to Qin Yu: "No wonder Master Jueming would say that layman Qin and I, Guangxiao Temple, are destined. Just what I said today will be of great help to the poor monk."

In enlightenment."

"Master, it's serious. With Master's practice, it's only a matter of time before he realizes these things."

Zhiren smiled, then looked at Qin Yu, his expression became serious, and asked seriously: "Qin layman, I see that you are surrounded by many causes and effects, but what happened in the past two days."

Buddhism talks about cause and effect. With Master Zhiren's cultivation, he could naturally feel a trace of bad karma in Qin Yu, so he asked Qin Yu.

"Let's not hide it from the master..."
