The Changsheng Temple is very old and there seems to be no one there. It is quite deserted. When you walk into the temple, there are only one or two young Taoist priests cleaning the Taoist temple. Gu Qingfeng asked the doctor about his situation, but he did not expect that these young Taoist priests were not there.
I don’t know the doctor.
Could it be that the doctor changed his name invisibly?
Not sure.
Gu Qingfeng had never heard from Mr. Mei.
The Taoist temple is not big. Gu Qingfeng was about to use his spiritual consciousness to detect the trace of the master. At this time, another Taoist priest came out of the Taoist temple.
"Excuse me, are you an ancient Taoist friend?"
Gu Qingfeng frowned slightly, feeling a little confused, but still nodded.
"Our temple master has been waiting for the ancient Taoist friend for a long time. Please come with me."
This time Gu Qingfeng was even more confused and asked: "I wonder who your temple master is..."
"The Master of Immortality."
The Lord of Immortality?
Could it be that the old Taoist priest in the rumor who has lived for who knows how many years?
How did the other party know that he was coming?
And how long have you been waiting?
This is a bit strange.
Gu Qingfeng followed the Taoist priest inside, walked through a corridor, and came to a garden.
There is a big tree in the garden, and there is a pavilion under the big tree. In the pavilion sits an old Taoist priest with white hair and beard. The old Taoist priest is sitting upright, holding a cup of fragrant tea, and watching a game of chess.
For some reason, when he saw this scene, Gu Qingfeng suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu, as if he had been here before, and the old Taoist priest was sitting upright like this, drinking tea and watching chess.
Could it be the memory of that time when I broke into the Immortality View?
Not sure.
Gu Qingfeng really had no impression.
"Fellow ancient Taoist, you are well."
The voice of the old Taoist priest came with a strange sound. It was not loud and powerful, but it made people feel like it was just a passing moment and the world has changed forever.
The old Taoist priest stood up, looked at Gu Qingfeng, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
"Have we met?"
Gu Qingfeng was not polite, walked over and sat down.
The old Taoist priest picked up the tea cup, poured a cup of tea for Gu Qingfeng, and said with a faint smile: "When the ancient Taoist friend was practicing in the Shangqing Sect, I was lucky enough to have a chance encounter with the ancient Taoist friend."
"It seems that there is such a thing. I thought it was an illusion." Gu Qingfeng picked up the teacup, and a very strange smell came. He put the teacup down again and said, "If my guess is right, back then,
Was it also here when we met?"
"Exactly."
"But why don't I have any impression?"
The old Taoist priest just smiled and shook his head and did not respond.
Gu Qingfeng continued to ask, "What did you do to me back then?"
"Why do fellow Taoists say that?"
"Because after I went back, I obviously felt that a strange change had taken place in my body. As for what the change was, I couldn't explain it myself, but the feeling was very clear, but I had no idea when I entered your view of immortality.
But I don’t have any impression of it.”
"Friends of ancient Taoism should know that there is a theory of sudden enlightenment in Buddhism."
Gu Qingfeng nodded and responded: "Sudden enlightenment means hearing sutras for many kalpas. In an instant, all false thoughts are eliminated. It is also like suddenly seeing the true nature. Sudden enlightenment means no thoughts, and the mind is uncontaminated by all dharma. This is
Without thoughts, it is also enlightenment."
"I didn't expect that the ancient Taoist friend would have such extraordinary insights into Buddhist enlightenment. It's really remarkable, very remarkable!" The old Taoist priest was surprised and exclaimed. He nodded repeatedly and said, "I think the ancient Taoist friend must have experienced enlightenment along the way.
Quite a few.”
There is an old monk living in Gu Qingfeng’s Bone Jade of Nirvana. Gu Qingfeng listened to him talk about Buddha a lot. If not for this, he would not have attained the great freedom of mind. To say enlightenment, he practiced for five hundred years.
, I really had a lot of epiphanies.
However, he did not speak about this matter, but waited for the old Taoist priest's next words.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, the old Taoist priest said: "Buddhists have sudden enlightenment, and we Taoists also have selflessness."
"Selfless?"
Regarding Taoist selflessness, although Gu Qingfeng has never experienced it, he has also seen it in some ancient classics. It is said that selflessness is a supreme state pursued by Taoists. It is said that only by entering the state of selflessness can one regain it.
Self.
Because this Taoist thing is too mysterious, Gu Qingfeng only has a rough understanding of it, and he doesn't know much about the specific concept of the state of selflessness.
"The reason why the ancient Taoist friends have no memory of what happened back then is because when the ancient Taoist friends came here, they entered the selfless state of our Taoism."
"Is there still such a thing?"
Gu Qingfeng was a little skeptical.
"Fellow ancient Taoist, please take a look."
The old Taoist priest pointed to the broken chess piece on the chessboard and said: "My ancient Taoist friends were so selfless when they saw this broken chess piece."
Chess is Othello, also known as Heaven and Earth Chess.
It is also called Yin Yang Chess, Tai Chi Chess, Chaos Chess, etc.
There are many names. It is said that this kind of black and white chess has been passed down from ancient times. No one can tell how old it is.
According to rumors, Reversi contains all the principles and principles between heaven and earth, and also contains the secrets of heaven and earth, and the eight characters of the universe. If you can play Reversi thoroughly, you will understand the principles of heaven and earth.
Although this may sound a bit exaggerated at first glance.
But Gu Qingfeng knows that this is not an exaggeration. At least, he thinks it is not an exaggeration. Since he learned Othello, he has increasingly felt that this kind of chess is not simple. To be precise, it is very complicated. It is really all-encompassing, as if it contains the principles of heaven and earth.
generally.
As his experience increased and as he gained more knowledge, he felt that Othello was mysterious, mysterious and wonderful.
It is not impossible to say that there are many cases of sudden enlightenment after playing Othello.
Gu Qingfeng himself has experienced it personally. He had an epiphany when he was playing Othello with those Nine Nether old demons in the wilderness.
You could say forget yourself.
He really had no impression.
Looking at this broken chess piece at the moment, although it seems familiar, it is just familiar, and nothing else. I asked: "What did I realize when I entered the state of selflessness?"
"I'm afraid only the ancient Taoist friends themselves know this."
"But I don't know."
"Everything has a cause and effect."
It's cause and effect again.
Gu Qingfeng looked at the old Taoist priest and felt a little funny, and said: "Cause and effect is a Buddhist thing. Do you Taoists also believe in this thing?"
"Buddha is the Tao."
The old Taoist priest's four short words made Gu Qingfeng startled. He felt as if he saw a glimmer of light in the endless darkness, but the light seemed so close at hand and so far away in the world.
After a long time, Gu Qingfeng came back to his senses, picked up the tea cup, took a sip, frowned slightly, and then drank it all.
"Fellow Taoist Ancient Taoist, how about tea?"
Gu Qingfeng shook his head and said: "Not good."
"Haha! The ancient Taoist friend is really quick to talk, and he deserves to be a hero of his generation."
