Chapter 2892 (▽) Clear the mind and see the nature, get rid of self-grasping
Three days later, behind Longhu Mountain, inside Tingfeng Pavilion.
The morning light is dewy, the mist is lingering, and the breeze from the mountain stream comes slowly, bringing with it the freshness of bamboo leaves and vegetation and the fragrance of earth.
At this moment, a white-haired but energetic old man in the pavilion was wearing a Taoist robe, holding a fly whisk, and sitting quietly in the pavilion. His eyes were deep, and he looked calm, as if he could see through everything in the world.
With.
And he is no one, he is actually one of the ten people in the alien world today, the one recognized as the "top", and he is also the 65th generation Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain Celestial Master Mansion, the old Celestial Master who is the leader of the Taoist sect.
Zhang Zhiwei!
Besides Zhang Zhiwei, who is sitting opposite him if not Anne Bennie?
As a seven or eight-year-old girl, she was currently wearing a set of beautiful and festive Miao costumes in bright red with many silver decorations, which she bought after seeing them in the scenic area in front of Longhu Mountain.
Originally, the shops in the scenic area were only rented to tourists for wearing and taking pictures in the scenic area. They were not for sale and had no plans to sell them. But when Annie saw it, she insisted on buying it, and then directly paid her 10,000 yuan.
The money was swept over, and then the landlady fell into Annie's money offensive on the spot.
Therefore, at this time, she was dressed beautifully and lying on the stone table, clasping her fingers on the stone table in boredom. The decorations on her body and the headdress on her head were jingling, and she didn't care whether Zhang Zhiwei, the old master opposite, was
What do you think? That face that looks like someone of the same age pouted slightly, not hiding the dissatisfaction in his eyes at all.
As for the incense burner and the tea on the stone table, she didn't even look at it, and she had no intention of paying attention to the other person's gesture of raising a glass to her.
Come to think of it!
She was still a child, but in the end, the bad old man in front of her wanted to chat with her, so it was okay to prepare some pastries and snacks. It would be better to prepare more or less special fruits from the mountains.
But in the end, what have they prepared?
In addition to the inedible chessboard carved on the stone table in front of me, there is only a broken copper incense burner that is also inedible, a purple clay teapot, a pot of boiling water and two cups?
Is this the attitude of talking to someone about something?
Who is the other party burning incense and making tea for? Will she, the Great Anne, enjoy this?
So, it would be hell if she was satisfied right now!
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"..."
At this time, the old heavenly master Zhang Zhiwei didn't know what Anne was really thinking. He just continued to sit on the ground, and secretly observed Anne from time to time. His eyes moved slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking about specifically.
What.
In the distance, Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, Zhang Lingyu and Wang Zhenqiu, who still had a band-aid on his face, were waiting honestly.
Because they were not allowed to get close to the Tingfeng Pavilion and listen to the conversation between Annie and the Heavenly Master Zhang Zhiwei.
As for why Zhang Chulan did not punish Wang Zhenqiu, but instead took the initiative to bring him to Longhu Mountain, what is his purpose is currently unknown.
Anyway!
That day, Wang Zhenqiu, who was caught by Daoye Wang Ye for eavesdropping and dealt with him severely, was not further harassed by Zhang Chulan, Xu San, and Xu Si, and then was found to have some crooked idea.
Zhang Chulan comforted her with kind words and then brought her here.
"Hello!"
"Old Wang!"
"It's so far away that you can't use lip reading to 'eavesdrop', right?"
Seeing that the two people in the distance were getting along quite harmoniously, and it seemed that it had not officially started yet, after thinking about it, Zhang Chulan suddenly turned his head towards the girl next to him who looked even more beautiful than Sister Baoer, who almost never dressed up.
Wang Zhenqiu, who looked like a woman, asked.
"??"
"You are Lao Wang!"
"Your whole family is Laowang!"
Maybe it was because he was caught, tortured and beaten, or because he was forcibly brought to Longhu Mountain by Zhang Chulan. In short, Wang Zhenqiu was not in a good mood at this time, and his whole person seemed to have been shot.
As soon as he opened his mouth, he pushed Zhang Chulan back.
"Ha ha!"
"I would like to, but the problem is that with my figure and face, rich women look down on me!"
Faced with Wang Zhenqiu's attitude, Zhang Chulan didn't mind. Instead, he laughed and teased something about something without leaving any trace, and then retorted.
After all, he had heard that in order to monitor them, Wang Zhenqiu was willing to be taken care of by a wealthy woman with a large tonnage. Such determination and courage were beyond compare to Zhang Chulan, and he had to express his admiration.
.
"..."
Sure enough, Wang Zhenqiu's expression became even more ugly in the next second, and then he rarely dared to continue to answer what Zhang Chulan just said.
"how?"
"How about you translate it for us later?"
Seeing that the other party was silent, Zhang Chulan quickly suggested again tentatively.
It is unclear whether he really wanted Wang Zhenqiu to translate for them on the spot or whether he deliberately provoked the general to ask questions to see if the other party would overhear.
"snort!"
"First of all, I don't know lip reading. When I monitor you, I need the assistance of an AI program. That thing was taken away by your people. Remember to return it to me when the time comes!"
"Secondly!"
"The distance here is too far, and the other person's back is turned to me. You think I am a god, can you read it?"
First, he glanced at Zhang Chulan coldly and explained the reason. Then, Wang Zhenqiu, who seemed to be very moved by himself, suddenly said:
"or……"
"Let's go around, get closer, and eavesdrop in the woods?"
This is Wang Zhenqiu's sincere words. If Zhang Chulan agreed, he would definitely dare to sneak over and eavesdrop. After all, his curiosity is really strong, otherwise he would not come from the Southwest Region to City Z in the North China Region to eavesdrop.
Zhang Chulan and others are here.
"Don't!"
Without even thinking about it, Zhang Chulan quickly waved his hand and refused, saying that he did not want to commit suicide, especially since his master had made it clear that he would not let any of them pass.
"I don't want to be beaten to death by my master!"
"If you're not afraid of death, why don't you go alone?"
As he spoke, Zhang Chulan did not forget to look to the side.
Right now, the two Taoist masters from Longhu Mountain were standing next to the four of them. They were Zhang Lingyu's senior brothers and were definitely not bad at it. At this time, they were all looking at them sideways, with expressions on their faces.
It's a warning. If they really dare to do something, the Golden Light Curse will definitely hit them in the next second.
"whispering sound!"
Of course Wang Zhenqiu was just talking, he didn't dare to run there alone.
After all, he just received a severe beating two days ago, and if he goes back now, he will definitely get another one. He is not a masochist!
You know, that Zhang Zhiwei can defeat Quan Xing and the old ghosts of the Shilaohui by himself. He is truly "extreme". He is so capable that after killing so many people, the company and the Shilaohui still don't dare to do anything to each other.
In this way, if Wang Zhenqiu dares to pass by, it will be easy for him to receive a thunderbolt from the palm of his hand!
"..."
After hearing the conversation between the two, Zhang Lingyu next to her stared at Zhang Chulan several times with some resentment and resentment, as if she wanted to say something to Zhang Chulan.
However, after looking at Wang Zhenqiu next to him and hesitating for a while, he finally chose to shut up and wait, not daring to say anything.
"Sister Bao'er!"
"They started talking, can't you see clearly?"
"Not yet!"
"oh--"
"Then when does it start?"
"The sun is already high today..."
"I don't know!"
"well……"
"It's really torture..."
"!!"
"Shut up, Zhang Chulan, can you say a few words less?"
"Why?"
"Uncle Junior, don't be so angry!"
"If I hadn't taken you with me, would you have been able to go to Longhu Mountain and see my master?"
"Just be beautiful. Logically speaking, you should thank me!"
"..."
"I thank you for eight generations of ancestors!"
"??"
"Zhang Chulan, what's wrong with him?"
"Have you offended Mr. Zhang?"
"How do I know?"
"Maybe it's time for menopause?"
"?!"
Just like that, I don’t know how much time passed. When Zhang Chulan, Feng Baobao, Zhang Lingyu and Wang Zhenqiu were waiting and chatting in boredom, Zhang Lingyu seemed to have a strong hostility towards Zhang Chulan and wanted to take action several times. Wang Zhenqiu was a little unclear.
So while he was still asking questions and imagining things, the conversation between an old man and a young man in the Tingfeng Pavilion in the distance finally started.
"..."
"Well..."
"Today's tea is pretty good, little friend Annie, don't you want to try it?"
Zhang Zhiwei first slowly picked up the tea cup and took a sip. After feeling the mellow and delicious tea soup, he slowly looked at Anne and motioned for Anne to try it too.
"don't want!"
()
"What's so good about just a handful of grass leaves without adding anything?"
()
Obviously, most children don't like drinking tea, and Annie is no exception.
Of course, what she doesn't like is the traditional tea that is brewed directly with spring water, but she still likes the various fruit milk teas sold on the street, as well as those taro balls, fragrant taro milk tea, etc.
Are they all good?
(…)
(;￢￢)
"Well……"
Hearing Annie say that her special tea, which may cost tens of thousands of dollars to buy for less than a pound, is just a handful of 'grass leaves', Zhang Zhiwei's hand holding the tea cup froze.
"Too!"
"It's true that the old man has lost his consideration."
Then, although there was some slander in his heart, Zhang Zhiwei still nodded humbly to express his acceptance.
However, even though he said that, Zhang Zhiwei did not immediately correct himself and ask someone to change the food. Instead, he raised his eyes and continued to stare at Annie for a while, and then suddenly asked with a half-smile:
"The old Taoist has also tried to understand the origin of little friend Annie."
"And since my little friend is coming from afar, I dare to ask, why are you here?"
As he asked, Zhang Zhiwei's eyes suddenly flashed, and then he stared at the changes in the expression on Annie's face, as if he wanted to discover something.
"Could it be..."
"Are you looking for the secret that transcends this world?"
This is not to blame Zhang Zhiwei for being suspicious. After all, he has heard about it and knows that the little girl Annie in front of him has recently learned or been exposed to the Eight Magic Skills with Zhang Chulan, Wang Ye, Zhang Lingyu, Feng Baobao, Zhuge Qing and Fu Rong.
The young people were very close to each other and even lived together. Not long ago, Zhang Chulan said something to him that seemed to mean something, so he couldn't help but think about it too much.
Although he couldn't control that much, and now he was banned from the company by both Nadutong Company and Shilaohui, but there were some things that he couldn't help but want to confirm.
"??"
(.)
"Okay, why do people want to be detached from the world? You bastard...Grandpa, what you said is really weird!"
(||￢▽￢)
"but……"
ε=(ο｀*)))Alas
"Since you have asked, I will tell you openly!"
(`)
Anne was startled when she heard this, then sighed, and then suddenly laughed, and stood directly on the stone bench with her hands on her hips, her eyes flashing with pride and she said seriously:
"He is like a little traveler who loves adventure. He likes to run around and see every corner of this world and the rarities of another world. What is the purpose of it?"
(_)
"Of course, sometimes, people will play some messy roles to help others solve small problems..."
()
"But most of the time, people just do it for fun. They want to see different scenery, meet some different weird people, and eat different delicious food, that's all!"
(^o^)/
Yes, that is the truth, because for Anne, there is nothing that cannot be said.
Moreover, when she came here today, that idiot Zhang Chulan was begging her to cooperate with him in some game. Although she found it very troublesome, and the boring game was not fun at all, but since
She accidentally agreed. Since there would be a big dinner to eat later, she could only be patient and fool the bad old man in front of her!
(…)
(;￢￢)
"oh--"
"A world?"
"Another world?"
When Zhang Zhiwei heard this, a trace of surprise flashed across his brows, but then he regained his composure.
"Well..."
Then, he pondered for a moment, looking across the mountains, as if he was trying to peek into the unknown distance. After waiting for a long time, he seemed to have thought of something before he looked at Anne again with some yearning, half doubt and half emotion and asked:
"Is there really another world outside this world?"
"Little friend Annie, I'm not afraid of your jokes..."
"I have been practicing Taoism for many years, and I have reached heights that no one before me has reached. Although I dare not say that I am on the top of the mountain, I look around and see that there are only a few people around me in the past and present..."
"But what is on the other side of the mountain? I have never seen it, so I can't help but feel a bit of curiosity and yearning in my heart."
Speaking of this, Zhang Zhiwei couldn't help but sigh.
Yes, due to his own Taoism and the Celestial Master's degree, he knows a lot more things and secrets than ordinary people, but it is also because of the Celestial Master's degree that he cannot tell, and at the same time he is imprisoned.
In this cage of heaven and earth, you can't help yourself most of the time, and you may not be able to escape until you die?
This also led him to have thought before that he wanted to spread the teachings of the Heavenly Master as soon as possible and just throw away this heavy burden and this bastard and run away?
Therefore, this was the matter of Luo Tian Dajiao and his previous plan to confer the Heavenly Master's biography to Zhang Chulan.
It's a pity that things went against his wishes. The grandson of a certain big-eared thief was too much of a thief. The other party actually noticed the abnormality of Tianshidu, and then refused to accept it willingly. He couldn't force it, and it made him annoyed every time he thought about it.
Feeling helpless but helpless.
As he thought about it, he couldn't help but glance at the people in the distance.
"..."
Then, he saw that in the distance, in addition to his traitor Zhang Lingyu, the girl Feng Baobao and a guy who was neither male nor female, there was also Zhang Chulan, the grandson of his junior brother Big Ear Thief, and the other party actually thought he was
Are your eyes trying to express some kind of kindness, and then you still have the guts to wave and say hello to him with a playful smile?
That is really unreasonable!
If he hadn't been on business right now, he would have just thrown a stone at him, causing the other party to turn his face to the ground and chew his shit!
"The other side of the mountain?"
(ω)
Annie blinked and quickly understood what the other party meant.
“Of course there is still a mountain on the other side of the mountain!”
(*^▽^*)
"Just like your Longhu Mountain, there are endless mountains, but as long as you keep walking and cross a mountain, you can always discover new scenery!"
(゜▽^*)
"The world is so big, there must be a lot of fun and interesting things waiting for you out there!"
(`)~
"But you're still far away!"
(｀)
Speaking of this, Annie's expression suddenly changed, and then she glanced seriously at the other party up and down for the first time.
"Although you old man is indeed very strong, your strength is limited and restricted. If you don't make changes, you will never see it."
(′ o′)
"To put it in your own words, the Celestial Master's degree in you is both an opportunity and a limitation!"
()
Yes, this is the reason why Anne doesn't look down on the other party.
If the other party had just practiced hard, he would have had a chance, but if he had to take a shortcut, the road would end all at once. In addition, he was restricted by that heavenly master. If nothing unexpected happened, this
It will be like this for the rest of my life.
Then……
After a few years, it will be almost time to burp, right?
"..."
(.)
Thinking about it, Annie glanced at the other person again, and then curled her lips somewhat boredly.
The bad old man in front of me has good talent, otherwise he would not have cultivated to the level where he is now equivalent to half-step foundation building of Qi Dzogchen and invincible in the alien world. But it is a pity that the opponent's path is narrow and he is blind.
After so many years of practice, I have now become depleted of energy and blood, and have run out of energy and have very little life left. If it were any later, there would be no hope of recovery.
"Oh……"
Zhang Zhiwei didn't know what Annie was thinking. Hearing Annie's evaluation of himself, he just smiled slightly, but there was a bit of bitterness and relief in that smile.
"So..."
"Crossing mountains and ridges, what you seek is not only the scenery on the other side, but also the testimony of spiritual training and growth?"
"Then, if everything is as you just said, there is still a mountain on the other side of the mountain, then what is the meaning of this long and arduous road of cultivation?"
Then, after talking in a deep voice, Zhang Zhiwei actually fell into a trance again. It seemed that his Taoist heart, which he had originally decided on something, was wavering again?
"What's the meaning?"
(⊙o⊙*)
"Um……"
(′～`●)
“Isn’t it considered that you can always find something fun, delicious, or interesting on the other side of the mountain?”
(˙o˙)
After thinking about it, Annie raised Tibbers' little hand and said with a serious look in her eyes.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"oh?"
Hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei nodded thoughtfully, then changed the topic and his tone became a little more dignified:
"My little friend knows many secrets in the world, but have you ever thought about..."
"Is this knowledge also a burden?"
"I once heard what my master said: The most simple way is to know what you know, and to know what you don't know is to know. Sometimes, ignorance can make people's minds peaceful and free from disturbances?"
At this point, Zhang Zhiwei had a rare discussion with Anne.
"Maybe!"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
Anne slumped her shoulders, then shook her head slightly before retorting noncommittally:
"But people have seen a great monk in another world. He said: If a bird is locked in a cage, even if it has no worries about food and clothing, how can it spread its wings and appreciate the vastness of the sky? In life, if you are afraid of the burden,
If you choose to escape the truth, wouldn’t you be living up to your practice in this life?”
(˙o˙)
"He also said that whether you are a human being, a demon, a god or a Buddha, you have to face everything calmly, whether it is good or bad, because it exists whether you face it or not. If you don't have clear thoughts,
, what else should I practice?”
(▽`)
"By the way, this is actually what the great monk said at that time!"
(⊙⊙)
Anne originally didn't want to say it, but seeing that the other person seemed thoughtful and didn't agree with her point of view just now, after thinking about it, she had no choice but to take a sneak peek at her vast memory and use words to describe it.
The writing was relayed, and the golden fonts similar to the golden light curse appeared on the stone table in front of the two people:
In the path of spiritual practice, no matter whether you are a mortal, a demon, a god, or even a Buddha, you should uphold a fearless and unchanging heart, and face all phenomena in the world calmly, no matter good or evil, good or bad.
It should be noted that all phenomena are empty, only cause and effect are not empty!
All situations exist in the heart and in the world, and can be resolved only by avoiding them.
If the mind is obstructed and cannot be accessed, it will be like a mirror covered with dust, how can it reflect the truth?
The path of spiritual practice is to understand one's mind, see one's nature, and get rid of self-grasping. If you run away from a situation and avoid it when faced with difficulties, isn't it going against the grain? How can you talk about cultivation?
Therefore, we should accept all things with an equal mind and not think about happiness or sorrow, but seek to always have righteous thoughts, so that we can grow lotus step by step in the purgatory of the world of mortals until we reach the other shore.
All conditioned phenomena are like bubbles in a dream, like dew or lightning, and should be viewed as such.
This statement is not only an exhortation to the world, but also a profound reminder to us practitioners.
Only in this way can we gain great freedom among all dharmas and achieve supreme Bodhi.
"!!"
Zhang Zhiwei frowned when he saw this.
Because, although it is a Buddhist statement, the principles are the same. Even though Zhang Zhiwei is the Taoist leader of the Zhengyi sect in the alien world, he cannot refute it.
"Little friend Annie..."
"What happened to that great monk?"
After looking at the words on the stone table and pondering for a long time, Zhang Zhiwei finally saw a flash of complicated emotions in his eyes, and then Zhang Zhiwei sighed softly and asked subconsciously.
"I have become a Buddha!"
(||￢▽￢)
"What else?"
(ˉ▽￣~)Cut~~
Anne remembered that the great monk was called Fahai, and he ate the flat peaches she stole...well, in exchange for. If he didn't become an immortal or a Buddha, he would be blind.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"oh?"
"Is there really a Buddha in this world?"
Zhang Zhiwei's eyes moved, and then he asked pretending not to believe.
"Is there something you don't know about?"
(.)
"If it doesn't work, why don't you just promise Zhang Chulan and try it yourself?"
()
Regarding this issue, Anne didn't want to explain more. After all, she couldn't be allowed to catch a god and Buddha on the spot and show it to the other party, right?
That's so rude!
"Oh……"
Zhang Zhiwei chuckled, then looked at the gradually disappearing words on the stone table again, and then finally made up his mind:
"My little friend is right, but he is too old-fashioned and narrow-minded."
"Perhaps the real practice lies not in escaping, but in facing?"
"Even if the road ahead is bleak, you still have to move forward bravely in order to understand the true meaning of the great road?"
After saying that, Zhang Zhiwei stood up and saluted Anne with a firm gaze, obviously determined to see the wider world.
"You're right to think so!"
(`)~
Simple dress, Anne couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"alright!"
()σ
"If everything is okay, can we go have dinner?"
|˙˙)?
Anne asked impatiently.
After all, there was nothing to eat or drink in this pavilion, only a pot of grass leaf soup and a broken incense burner. If there was no big meal waiting for her, and there was only the east, west, northwest wind in the mountains, she would definitely go crazy!
(…)
(;￢￢)
"good!"
"Let's go!"
Nodding, Zhang Zhiwei stretched out his hand to signal Annie to go first.
"Very good!"
*.(ˊ▽ˋ*)*.
"It's time to eat!"
-
==()
After cheering, without waiting for the bad old man to say anything else, Annie was the first to rush out impatiently.
"Done?"
"Annie!"
"how?"
"Is the deal settled?"
When they saw Annie running over, and then looking at the master (master) Zhang Zhiwei pacing over in the distance, Zhang Chulan and Zhang Lingyu first looked at each other and trembled, and then they couldn't wait to greet her.
Go up and catch Anne and question her.
