"Would you like to go out to bask in the sun and have a sip of wine? Have a drink by the way? How about I find some girls to keep you company? Let's have a few drinks together and have a good time."
Facing Gu Qingfeng's teasing, the old monk continued to choose silence.
"Okay, since you like to stay here, then it's up to you."
Gu Qingfeng hesitated for a moment, then asked: "No kidding, I want to ask you something, has Master ever heard of the Posuo people?"
After a long while, the old monk's voice came from over there. As Gu Qingfeng expected, the old monk responded "I don't know."
He was not surprised and continued to ask: "Where is the guardian of Kasyapa?"
"I don't know!"
"The so-called cause and effect of past lives, how many past lives can there be?"
"What does it mean that there are as many past lives as there are causes and effects?"
"How many past lives, how many selves, what do they mean?"
Gu Qingfeng asked all the doubts in his heart in one breath, but the old monk was still the same as before, unable to answer any question.
Originally, he did not expect the old monk to answer the doubts in his heart. He just wanted to ask, or more precisely, he just wanted to find someone to talk to. As for whether the old monk answered or not, it was not too important to him. Of course, if he could
The best answer is, if he doesn't answer, it doesn't matter.
"Since the ancient layman has decided not to ask for cause and effect, why did he suddenly ask about it again today?"
The voice of the old monk came, and Gu Qingfeng responded with a smile: "Whether I ask for it or not, the cause and effect is there. What should come will eventually come, and what should not come, it is useless for me to ask."
"Amitabha, you are so good. It is so rare for ancient lay people to realize this."
"This is a very simple truth."
"The truth may be simple, but there are very few people who really understand it, and even fewer who can do it, and..."
Before the old monk finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Gu Qingfeng.
"Don't tell me these big things. I'm not interested and I don't want to listen. You can just continue to rest. I'm going to do whatever I need to do."
Gu Qingfeng did not continue speaking. He said hello and was about to leave. At this time, the old monk's voice came again.
"Ancient layman, wait a minute."
"What's the matter?" He glanced at the misty temple on the misty mountain and asked, "Is something wrong?"
I don’t know whether he was embarrassed to speak or what, but after the old monk stopped Gu Qingfeng, he waited for a long time, and then he said slowly: "If possible, I hope that the ancient layman will return the wrathful incarnation of the Great Sun Tathagata to me.
Buddha."
"Oh, it's been so long and you still remember this."
"The incarnation of the Great Sun Tathagata is very important to me, the Buddha. I also hope that the ancient lay people..."
This time the old monk still didn't finish his words. He was interrupted again by Gu Qingfeng, saying: "Okay, it's not a problem to return it to the Buddha. But, old monk, let's make a deal. You have answered the doubts in my heart."
Say it again."
"I really don't know."
"We are old acquaintances. Do you know that? I still don't know?"
"I don't know."
"You don't want to say it, do you?"
"Based on my understanding of the ancient layman, even if I open my mouth to help you clarify your doubts, the ancient layman will not hand over the wrathful incarnation of the Great Sun Tathagata."
Gu Qingfeng smiled and said: "Since you know, why do you ask even though you already know it?"
"The ancient layman also knew that I couldn't tell, so why did he ask even though he knew it?"
"It's my business whether I ask or not. You say it's best. If you don't tell me, we won't force you. If I ask, I'll try my best and feel relieved. This matter is over for me.
As for whether you say it or not, that's your business and has nothing to do with me."
"Amitabha, is this the so-called great freedom?"
"This is not called great freedom, this is called helpless. It is also called self-comfort."
The old monk sighed: "When will the freedom of freedom end..."
"Ha ha ha ha!!"
Gu Qingfeng laughed three times and left directly.
There is no concept of time in this ethereal world of Nirvana Bone Jade. It was not until the ancient breeze left, and I don’t know how long it took, that the old monk sighed from the ethereal temple on the ethereal mountain. This sigh was like
It seemed like he was sighing countless helplessness.
"They...have indeed discovered it..."
"They...have been looking for..."
"The Posuo people have appeared..."
"The Kasyapa Observer... also appeared..."
"well……"
"It's a pity, it's a pity that it's useless... I don't know how many clones that person's body turned into back then, and I don't know how many clones it turned into. Who knows?"
"The soul doesn't know how many true spirits it has turned into, how many true souls it has turned into, who knows?"
"That person has great spirit, great will, great consciousness, great consciousness...and how many paths he has, who knows?"
"His hair, his internal organs... and what everything turned into, no one knows..."
"He confuses cause and effect, and also subverts cause and effect. No one knows how many causes and effects are derived from him."
"well……"
Another sigh, this one as if it had gone through countless years, said: "How many causes and effects, how many past lives, how many this life...how many original selves, how many egos, how many true selves... How to find
?How to find it?”
"True is true and false is false, false is true and false is true, falsehood is false, falsehood is false..."
"He is, and his cause and effect is even more so."
"It's messed up... it's all messed up... the true and false cause and effect, the chaotic cause and effect has begun... alas..."
"One him is so elusive, but who knows how many him there are in this life, and how many chaotic causes and effects are involved?"
"He and I are already so terrifying, my original self will only be even more terrifying, my self... I'm afraid it will be even more... and my true self... I don't know how scary it is..."
"If... the superego appears again... it will be... ugh!"
"You shouldn't be looking for it...and you shouldn't be looking for it either..."
After coming out of the Nirvana Bone Jade, Gu Qingfeng continued to lie on his back in the hammock, drinking wine, basking in the sun, closing his eyes and meditating. He was also thinking about the words of the previous weak voice, but he was just thinking.
That's it, there's nothing confusing about it.
He has encountered countless doubts, weirdness, mystery, and unknowns in his life, some of which he has not even found answers to yet.
For this inexplicable and sudden unknown.
Gu Qingfeng has always chosen to let nature take its course.
Just like what he just said to the old monk in Nirvana Bone Jade, if you have doubts in your heart, think about it. If you can't figure it out, ask. If you don't understand, ask again. If you still can't figure it out, let it go.
He has never been a person who tries to get into trouble, and he has never troubled himself about unknown things.
It was before and it is no exception now.
If you have that little time, it would be better to flirt with a girl.
What a Bosuo tribesman!
What a guardian of Kasyapa!
How many causes and effects, how many past lives, how many selves!
Everybody get lost!
Gu Qingfeng was too lazy to bother, so he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and then entered his Zifu.
