Wuxu looked at this Buddhist practice and was a little curious. As the name suggests, the Fa Sect should take the precepts as the teacher. As it said, know the law and observe the precepts, and practice in this way; but how to practice specifically? How to protect yourself at the beginning of practice
, in this world of monks? Wuxu found it a bit strange.
If you keep the precepts, you can practice, or should you say it is practice? This is not the kind of practice that is talked about in a general way. It is a practice that can really absorb spiritual energy, become a monk, and have many magical powers. Buddhism often talks about practice but not magical powers. That is
Another meaning. If you cannot absorb spiritual energy and many magical powers, how can you survive and develop in this world of monks?
This legal sect in front of me follows the rules and is in the realm of a real person. How does he practice and what magical powers does he have?
Therefore, Wuxu didn't want to debate Buddhism with him so early, but wanted to have a fight first.
It just so happens that this rule is not in the realm of real people. Wuxu can pretend to be a demon monk in the same realm and fight with him arrogantly and rudely.
Therefore, Wuxu took action directly. The gray-white skulls flew out one by one and went straight away.
He chanted the Buddha's name according to the rules, and his whole body was covered with golden light. As soon as those gloomy skulls came into contact with the golden light, they quickly dissipated without even a trace of smoke.
Wuxu used the Bone Sword again, but unexpectedly, the same thing happened after the Bone Sword touched the golden light.
Fairy Yu and Li Mingshan were both stunned.
Wuxu immediately stopped and said, "Keep the precepts and cut off the conditions, and do not touch any dharma."
(To explain with a little metaphor, if you quit drinking and stop drinking, you will not get into trouble due to drinking, and drunk driving will not happen. There is no way for others to try to trick you...)
Following the rules, he still clasped his hands and said, "Your Excellency turns out to be a demon monk? As the saying goes, one thought becomes a Buddha and one thought becomes a demon. Why can't you let go of that thought?"
Wuxu chuckled and said, "Master, although I don't touch the Dharma, there are so many causes and effects in the world." After saying that, he stabbed the Buddha statue with the bone sword.
Xungui Fei flew up, covered in golden light; after the white bone sword touched the golden light, it turned around and shot towards Wuxu.
Wuxu put away the bone sword that flew back in reverse direction and said with a smile, "It seems that you can only protect yourself by guarding the edge of abstinence?"
Realizing that Wuxu had no ill intentions, Na Zunru slowly flew to the ground, clasped his hands and replied, "The so-called observing the precepts is not limited to oneself. Whatever you see, feel the same."
(To explain with a little metaphor, you keep the precept and do not defecate in public places; naturally, if you see others defecating in public, you will object, stop, and report them.)
Wuxu then put his palms together and asked, "What is called precepts, concentration and wisdom? By observing the precepts, you can enter into tranquility and concentration, and then absorb the spiritual energy and practice it?"
This is asking how to get started in the Law Sect. In fact, this is not a secret at all among the senior leaders of the Buddhist Sect or some high-level monks. Na Xungui glanced at Wuxu, and the secret path really had no foundation in Yehu Zen. After practicing to the later stage, he went wrong.
He became possessed by the devil and became a demon monk.
"Amitabha!" Xungui replied, "The so-called precepts, concentration, and wisdom are true and true. Only by precepts can we practice concentration and practice." Obviously, he admitted that what he said was true when he realized the precepts.
Wuxu smiled faintly and made a look of disdain, "I traveled all over the world and met so many ordinary people. Although I am devout and observe the precepts, it seems that I can't concentrate, I can't be wise, and I can't cultivate."
"Amitabha!" Xungui looked at Wuxu again and shook his head. His expression was as if Wuxu was a rotten tree that cannot be carved. Finally, he said something thoughtfully, "Isn't it like this for your Excellency to practice in silence?"
He regarded Wuxu as a demon monk, so he was talking about cultivation in silence rather than concentration.
Wuxu suddenly woke up. Wuxu understood and recognized the so-called precepts, concentration and wisdom. However, he had always been limited by his past life experience and always regarded it as a way to improve his own cultivation. This was actually because he had no aura in his previous life.
.And now this time and space has spiritual energy! As long as you can be calm, it will be natural to absorb the spiritual energy, cultivate your body and nature, and enter into practice.
(One thing to note here is that from the perspective of practice, the so-called precepts, concentration, and wisdom are actually precepts followed by concentration. At the stage of concentration, you can practice. The explanation of the last wisdom is divided among different sects and sects, and there are different opinions.)
"All living beings are ignorant, clinging to others, indulging in color, greed, anger, love, and delusion. They cannot stop themselves. If they can't stop it, they cannot meditate or practice." Xunrui saw that he was in a trance and seemed to have some enlightenment, so he said loudly again.
.
Listening to Xungui's words, Wuxu had thousands of thoughts in his mind.
The so-called sentient beings naturally include ordinary people, that is to say, ordinary people can also practice precepts and be able to meditate, and meditate and be able to practice. The so-called Buddha Dharma is boundless and can save all living beings...
The so-called ordinary people, if they want to be able to practice, must have the so-called qualifications or spiritual roots. Here, it seems that there is no need for it. In other words, being able to abstain is the so-called qualification...
There is also the future seal. This seal can condense spiritual consciousness and share it. If ordinary people can abstain and then meditate, and with the help of this future seal, it seems that they will have greater confidence in practice...
Thinking of this, Wuxu wished he could do some experiments right away and raised his eyes to see that Sungui was looking at him with a smile.
"Amitabha! Thank you so much, Master, for your guidance." Wuxu said respectfully, clasping his palms to Xungui, "I wonder if Master is permanently stationed here. Monk Xuwu may come here from time to time for advice."
"Amitabha!" Xungui replied, "Ci'en Temple originally belonged to the Lotus Sect, and the poor monks also lived here temporarily." When he said this, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes.
Wuxu, his heart skipped a beat again. How could he have forgotten this point? Ci'en Temple was originally the stronghold of the Lianhua Sect in the capital. When he came here this time, he originally had some thoughts about old friends, but he didn't expect to meet the person in charge.
, but it is the law-abiding sect. The Lianhua sect seems to be suppressed by the Buddhist sect. Is it already so unbearable?
Wuxu tried to ask, "The young monk also heard that Ci'en Temple belongs to the Lianhua Sect. But I don't know what happened, but the Laogui Sect moved in?"
"Amitabha!" He recited the Buddha's name according to the rules and did not answer. He only said to Wuxu, "You three are here to travel. We will naturally welcome you. But there is one thing. There are distinguished guests in the backyard of the temple, so please don't accept them.
Go inside again." After saying that, he was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, Fairy Yu, who was enjoying the murals with Li Mingshan, suddenly said, "Master, please stay."
He stopped as expected, clasped his hands and smiled, "But I wonder what this female donor has to teach me?"
Fairy Yu looked at Wuxu, then at Xungui, and then said
He said, "In Buddhism, there is a theory of reincarnation. I wonder if it is true or false?"
Xungui pondered for a moment and replied, "Reincarnation is not necessarily possible, reincarnation does exist." After saying that, he pointed to the lotus in the pool outside the palace, "When the flowers fall and the flowers bloom, is reincarnation? Reincarnation?" and then floats away.
Wuxu took out some spiritual stones and placed them on the incense table. Then he bowed to the Buddha statue in the hall, and then led Fairy Yu and Li Mingshan out of the hall.
After leaving the main hall and walking a few steps, Fairy Yu suddenly asked, "Reincarnation is not certain, reincarnation does exist. What is Master Wuxu's explanation?"
Wu Xu smiled bitterly and replied, "This sentence is very simple, how can I explain it?"
There are lotus flowers in the pool next to it. Because of their faint fragrance, they are still very crystal clear and holy in the darkness.
Fairy Yu suddenly raised her legs and stepped into the pool. Half of her body was underwater, and her palace robe floated on the water like a painting. Half of her body was above the water, and the smoke waves were flowing, like lotuses blooming. One by one, her figure disappeared.
Suddenly, between the blossoming lotus flowers, an armored horse flew out from the bottom of the water, neighing. Fairy Yu was sitting on the horse, covered in armor, holding the reins tightly with one hand, and holding a long sword high with the other. Her eyes were firm and she glared ahead.
After a while, everything dispersed. Fairy Yu sat on the lotus, looking at Wuxu and Li Mingshan with a smile, "Is that so?"
Wuxu and Li Mingshan looked at each other and smiled, "It's like reality, it's like illusion, it's like dream." While talking and laughing, they also stepped into the pool, each chose a lotus and sat on it.
"This place is very nice. I will sit here on the lotus platform tonight," Wu Xu said.
"Master Wuxu didn't seem to have finished telling the story about Zhao Tong, right?" Fairy Yu asked slowly, "What happened after Zhao Tong's soul disappeared? Master Wuxu didn't look for it anymore?"
Wuxu gave a bitter smile, "My soul is so scattered that even if there is reincarnation, it may be difficult to enter. How can I find it?"
"But master, don't you think that I am very similar to Zhao Tong in appearance and expression, and think that I hide a ray of her soul?" After Fairy Yu said this, she suddenly laughed angrily and said to Li Mingshan, "The best in this world
Men, as Master said, they are all heartless."
Li Mingshan also smiled and stroked the sword lightly, "Master Wuxu, if Fairy Yu is the reincarnation of Zhao Tong, do you recognize it? If you don't recognize it, Li will ask you to hold the sword."
Immediately, Fairy Yu raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm not just asking with my sword, should I chop it into minced meat and throw it into the pond to feed the bastard?" After saying that, she couldn't help but laugh.
Li Mingshan couldn't help but laugh.
Wuxu couldn't help but laugh.
Just when this small pool and the lotus flowers seemed real and illusory, a figure passed by from the sky and flew away.
Wuxu stopped laughing and looked up with furrowed eyebrows. This figure looked quite like Dorje.
All in all, I have not seen or contacted Duoji for a long time. Later, in the human world, it was like this; in the sky outside the sky, Xuanyin Star, it was even more so. It seems that we are already in a relative position, there is no need to
The awkwardness of meeting.
Wuxu sighed and said to Fairy Yu and Li Mingshan, "There seems to be a gathering of Buddhist monks in the backyard here. I'd better go out later."
Fairy Yu smiled and said, "They are gathering their own people, and I am here, so why bother?"
Wuxu pondered for a moment and then said, "That's all. Let's tell the story about Zhao Tong."
It is said that Zhao Tong died, and even her soul disappeared. Wuxu and others thought that she no longer existed, so there was reincarnation, but she was just transformed into various things and scattered around. Maybe a few years later, her face would be hidden in a spring flower, somewhere.
The summer wind may have her smile, and an intermittent scar on a green pine on a certain mountain may be her former slender eyebrow...
But a great monk told Wuxu that she had taken part of Zhao Tong's soul.
When Wuxu said this, he paused and looked at Fairy Yu, "At that time, the Great Freedom Palace was also involved in the affairs of Lushan, and Zhao Tong worshiped under the master of the Great Freedom Palace."
"So, what do you mean, master, that my master also accepted part of Zhao Tong's soul at that time, and then he had this palace?" Fairy Yu, Lan Xinhuizhi, drew inferences from one instance to another.
Wuxu nodded, "As far as what happened in Lushan, as far as the young monk knows, the six sects of the Netherworld Star's Moon Covering Sect, the Beast Taming Sect, and the Xuanyin Star's six sects were all involved."
Fairy Yu suddenly smiled and said, "I have a question. Master, have you ever thought about it?"
Wuxu shook his head slightly, indicating for him to continue.
Fairy Yu got down from the lotus, stood in the water, with her back to Wuxu, and said lightly, "If this palace was created by Master using part of Zhao Tong's soul, then have Zhao Tong's other souls also been shaped?"
Others?"
Wuxu was stunned for a moment. Fairy Yu's words made sense. He pondered for a moment and then slowly replied, "If that's the case, that's fine."
"Everything yesterday was like yesterday's death, and today's everything is like today's birth." Fairy Yu suddenly turned around, smiled at Wuxu and Li Mingshan and said, "However, I always feel that I am this palace, and I am really the one who is led by Master.
She was created by a ray of soul, but she doesn’t want to be that Zhao Tong again. Although I heard the story, that Miss Zhao Tong is an amazing heroine."
"Well said!" Li Mingshan pulled out her long sword, "Those who abandon me will not be able to stay the same as yesterday." After saying this, the sword continued to scream and clank.
Applause rang out, and a figure slowly flew over.
Wuxu took a closer look and couldn't help shouting, "Senior Brother Duoji!"
"Sure enough, it's you, Junior Brother Wuxu. When I heard the report from Xungui, I had some vague guesses. When I heard the word Zhao Tong, I became even more certain."
Then I saw, under the moonlight, Duoji gently flew into the pool and stood in front of the three people. Half of his body was in a crimson monk's robe, floating on the water, looking extremely chic.
"It's really Brother Duoji!" Wuxu came down from the lotus, walked a few steps, bowed and clasped his hands, "Long time no see!"
Wuxu said while looking at Duoji.
Perhaps due to his deepening practice, Duoji's complexion is now as fair and pink as a child's, and his figure has become slender. He really deserves to be called Yushu Linfeng. Not to mention Wuxu, even the poppies and Li Mingshan are in front of him.
One light.
"These two must be Fairy Yu from the Great Freedom Palace and Fellow Daoist Li from the Ziyang Sword Sect." After Duoji and Wuxu looked at each other, they looked at Fairy Yu and Li Mingshan, clasped their hands together and smiled.
Fairy Yu and Li Mingshan returned the gifts respectively. Then the four of them each found a lotus and sat down.
"In this Xuanyin Competition, I predict that the master will be
Brother, you will come, and you have made some preparations, but you don't want to meet here so early." Duoji crossed his legs, holding an orchid in his hand, and spoke softly to Wuxu.
His words were earnest, and Wuxu hurriedly replied, "Thank you for your concern, senior brother. This Yongzhou mission is just for observation. I don't think anything will happen to us."
Duoji hesitated and shook his head, then turned sideways and smiled at Fairy Yu, "Everything yesterday is like dying yesterday, and everything today is like living today. So what about the things in the future?"
"Do you still want to ask Master Duoji for advice?" Fairy Yu smiled slightly.
"Amitabha!" Dorje lowered his head and recited in a low voice, "The past mind cannot be grasped, the present mind cannot be grasped, and the future mind cannot be grasped."
These words come from the "Vajra Prajnaparamita Sutra". They are unintentional talks and are empty words. But at this moment, Duoji said this passage through the two sentences of Fairy Yu: "Everything yesterday is like yesterday's death, and today's things are like today's birth."
But it seems to mean something.
The poppy girl stared, "The World Honored One's sermons are of profound meaning. Unfortunately, I practice the devil's path and cannot participate in Zen meditation with Master Duoji."
Duoji was not annoyed, he smiled, and bowed to Fairy Yu again and again with his palms together, "Yesterday I was a demon, but today I have never failed to become a Buddha. This is the case for Taoist friend Li, for example."
Li Mingshan's face changed slightly, and Wuxu was also stunned. Many people knew that Li Mingshan became a demon in Lushan Mountain, and it was not surprising that Duoji knew about it. But later, Li Mingshan refined Xingyun Bamboo into her body and escaped from the demonic way.
There are very few people who know about it. You must know that Wuxu and Li Mingshan are still pretending to be demon cultivators at this moment, and they have never taken off their disguises.
"Congratulations, senior brother. Could it be that senior brother has cultivated Buddha Eyes?" Wuxu asked with his palms clasped.
In Buddhism, in addition to the physical eye, there is also the heavenly eye, the wisdom eye, the Dharma eye, and the Buddha's eye. Regardless of the heavenly eye, the wisdom eye, the Dharma eye, and the Buddha's eye, they are all extremely mysterious and extremely difficult to cultivate. The Buddha's eye is even more difficult than the heavenly eye. Before enlightenment, human beings must
In this world, I once thought I had developed clairvoyance, but later I discovered that I could only deal with ordinary people.
Dorje shook his head and said, "The Buddha's eyes must be opened by all the Buddhas and great Bodhisattvas. How can I be so virtuous and capable?" After saying that, he changed the subject and said, "This great competition is the first time, the first time, and it has far-reaching significance.
Junior brother, sending the mission is just for observation, I'm afraid that's not the original intention."
Wuxu replied, "So what about the great competition? Is the great road created by comparison? The great road is always there, the cycle of cause and effect, and the fragrance of flowers is everywhere."
(The Diamond Sutra is everywhere. If there is this sutra, all heavens, humans, and asuras in the world should make offerings to it. You should know that this is the pagoda. They should all respectfully and respectfully surround it, and scatter all kinds of flowers and incense around it.)
Duoji nodded, "It seems that junior brother is well prepared this time, senior brother, I am relieved." Having said this, Duoji raised his head and glanced at the hall not far away, "Junior brother, Fairy Yu, and fellow Taoist Li are all in disguise, I guess.
I don’t want to attract attention. Something happened at Wantong Pavilion just now, and now the inspection in the capital is tighter, so it’s better to stay at Ci’en Temple for the time being. We can also get together from time to time in our free time.”
Wuxu pondered and asked, "Master Xungui just said that there are distinguished guests in the backyard of the temple. I think senior brother will also be here tonight. Is it inconvenient for the three of us to stay here?"
Duoji smiled and said, "Junior brother, you really can do whatever you want. You can't follow the rules like a real monk, but I trouble you to call me master." After that, he stood up and said, "There is a relatively independent courtyard in the backyard with a small area.
It’s large enough to accommodate a few people, but it’s spacious enough that you can have a dedicated person to take care of your daily needs.”
As Duoji spoke, he led Wuxu and the other two people along a water channel that appeared and disappeared, passing willows through the corridors and lavender across the walls, and finally came to a quiet courtyard.
The small door is ajar. After entering, there are flowers and plants on both sides, and there seems to be a cave in front, shrouded in a spiritual mist.
I saw Duoji holding lotus flowers in his hands, silently reciting mantras, and suddenly a golden light flew out from his waist, shining straight ahead. Immediately, the sound of ethereal wooden fish sounded faintly, and the spiritual mist slowly dispersed, revealing a bluestone arch bridge, with water waves rippling under the bridge, and golden scales leaping into the air.
.Across the stone bridge, there is a golden light.
Duoji took out three palm-sized jade carvings in the shape of wooden fish and gave them to Wuxu and the others, "With this token, you can come and go here freely."
Wuxu's sharp eyes saw an identical jade carving hanging on his waist. He couldn't help but smile and said, "So this is the place where senior brother Qingxiu is practicing. Is there any inconvenience when I go in?"
Having said that, he kept walking and followed Duoji inside.
"I rarely come here usually," Duoji said with his hands clasped together. "There are many independent spaces inside. Junior brother, you, Fairy Yu and Fellow Daoist Li, if you are worried, you can also arrange your own barriers inside."
Fairy Yu and Daoyou Li both smiled and said, "Master Duoji was joking."
Saying this, the four of them walked off the stone bridge and passed through the golden light.
The stream is flowing with pink and green willows, several thatched cottages are looming in the distance, and several tower spiers are standing in the distance.
The four of them walked slowly inside.
"The winding path led to a secluded place, and while going round and round, I saw this clump of wintersweet all over." Wuxu nodded with a smile, but suddenly he saw a Buddha statue standing next to the clump of wintersweet, which looked sparse on the left and dense on the right.
This Buddha statue seems to have some charm? There seem to be many in front of it. At that time, I only saw a corner and used it as a rockery...
"I heard from Master Wuxu that Master Duoji was originally from the Snowy Land, but he didn't want to like the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River." Fairy Yu suddenly smiled.
"Fairy Yu is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable. She even knows a lot about things in the human world. Could it be that the fairy is really the reincarnation of Zhao Tong?" Duoji suddenly stopped and faced Fairy Yu.
A cold snort came from the mouth of Li Mingshan, who was walking at the end.
Wuxu was startled and looked back.
Under the cover of flowers and plants, Duoji and Fairy Yu faced each other, only a finger apart. But soon, they each took a step back.
"Junior brother, I took a look just now, and Fairy Yu doesn't look like the reincarnation of Zhao Tong." Duoji stepped forward and spoke softly to Wuxu.
Although the voice was low, Fairy Yu and Li Mingshan behind could hear it clearly.
The atmosphere suddenly became inexplicably more relaxed.
Wuxu then laughed and said, "Thank you for your trouble, brother." Then he bowed to Fairy Yu and clasped his hands, "That Zhao Tong is a good friend of ours in the world, and the fairy looks quite familiar with her, so that's why Brother Duoji did this. Why?
Don’t be surprised if you look to the fairy.”
Duoji then turned around again, bowed and put his palms together like Wuxu, as an apology.
