After eating, I said to Zhuo Zhuo: "Take the little orange to practice the basic exercises." ”

Holding the dishes and chopsticks, I was ready to send them to the old monk and thanked him by the way.

When I came to the main hall, I saw that the great monks had disappeared, and only the old monk was wearing a robe and sitting on the futon on the main hall with his eyes closed.

I smiled and said, "Master, where do you put the chopsticks?"

The old monk opened his eyes, smiled and said, "The donor can put it wherever he wants, anyway, if someone doesn't have a bowl and chopsticks tomorrow, he will find it himself." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

Put the dishes and chopsticks on the offering table, walk to the futon next to the old monk and sit down.

The old monk smiled and said, "Is there anything else to do with the donor?"

I said, "I don't know what the master said, this Dalin Temple has a formation, called the Tiangang Demon Formation......"

The old monk interrupted me angrily and said, "This little bald donkey, why do you tell outsiders everything?"

I was stunned again, and said with some embarrassment: "But Xu was abrupt." ”

The old monk stopped, smiled slightly, and said, "It's not abrupt, it's not abrupt." The old man was just dissatisfied with the behavior of the little bald donkey, and he had nothing to do with being willing to let His Highness know about it. ”

I smiled and said, "I have a doubt in my heart, I wonder if the master can solve my doubts?"

The old monk closed his eyes slightly and said, "The old man is in this mountain, spending his years in vain. For the things of the world, in fact, I have long let go, even the things in the temple in front of the mountain have nothing to do with me. ”

I laughed and said, "If the master really lets go of the world, how can he know my identity, and why let the ignorant go out of the mountain? If the master is not for the world, it is for the few wisps of dust in the world." ”

The old monk was stunned, and after a long silence, he said: "Your Highness's immortal eyes are like torches. It is indeed because His Highness saved hundreds of millions of people in my home country that I let my youngest disciple go out of the mountain to relieve His Highness's pressure. But this son was too stupid, and not only wounded himself, but also caused His Highness to be seriously injured, which is really a sin. ”

I waved my hand and said, "It's no wonder that I don't know the master for this matter, it's true that I didn't think about it carefully, and I didn't expect that there would be an eight-winged nun among the nun, so I fell into the way." ”

The old monk smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness's doubts, can it be the origin of the nuns?

I smiled and said, "The name of the master is Juefa, and this name is not something that any old monk in the mountains dares to call. ”

The old monk said with a smile: "Indeed, in this magnificent country, there are thousands of monks, and no one dares to call this name. His Royal Highness is very knowledgeable, and he must have guessed the identity of the old man, but he didn't dare to confirm it. ”

I was taken aback and said, "The master is really ......"

The old monk stood up, turned around and saluted the statue, turned around and walked a few steps.

Turning his head, he said with a smile: "Lao Qu is Juefa, a worldly person, but he calls me the Bodhidharma Patriarch. ”

I stared at the old monk and looked carefully at it.

Bodhidharma, translated as enlightenment. This person is the twenty-eighth patriarch of Zen Buddhism in the Assan Kingdom, who crossed the sea and came to China during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. After a reed crossed the river, the Shaolin Temple was founded in Songshan. He is the ancestor of Mahayana Buddhism and Chinese Zen Buddhism.

The old monk smiled and said, "Your Highness doesn't think it's like it?"

I smiled and said, "It's not like that." ”

The old monk laughed and said, "Your Highness is frank. The old man also felt strange, he had passed away, but he came back to life, and he had no choice but to hide here for fear of the horror of the world. ”

I stopped laughing and said, "Okay, I believe it." But my doubts are not where the Ni people came from. ”

"Oh?" the old monk asked strangely, "What is His Highness's doubt?"

I said, "When I was in the kingdom of Nepal, I went to the Three Realms Magic Temple, and there I had some adventures. ”

The encounter with the Three Realms Magic Temple was the most mysterious thing I had ever encountered. Even if time and space travel, the various aspects of the fairy god realm, or the appearance of the nun, it is not as good as this.

Because I don't believe that there really is a Buddha in this world, just as I don't believe in a supreme being.

But with all my time and imagination, I couldn't figure out how to explain it.

"What is real, what is unreal, what is inexplicable, what is being in it? "After talking about what I saw and heard in the Three Realms Magic Temple, I asked this question.

The old monk lowered his head and thought about it.

After a long silence, the old monk raised his head and asked, "Your Highness doubts the authenticity of this world?"

I was shocked.

This is the second person to ask me this question, and that one is the Son of God.

I do doubt this whole thing.

Or since Wang Keke appeared, I have begun to suspect this matter.

However, when he entered the realm of immortals, he went from unreasonable to reasonable, from theoretical speculation to facts, and logically became reasonable.

Except for the Buddha in the Three Realms Magic Temple, the Buddha who seems to see through everything.

"It's hard to really understand the difference between the real and the unreal with your current comprehension, but you're in it, isn't that enough?"

I still remember what he said.

I stood up and turned to look at the statue of the Buddha, which had been weathered and decolorized.

"Your Highness's doubts come from the vain illusions in your heart. The old monk said quietly behind him.

I didn't look back and didn't speak.

"Your Highness's confusion is also the confusion of many people. The old monk was still behind him, as if he was muttering to himself, not to me.

"In this world, many people are born and many people leave every day. Although the born and the departed are not exactly the same, there seems to be a force in the underworld, controlling and pulling them. Everything is the same, from the big deep-sea giant whale to the small grass mustard in front of the hall, they are all pulled by this power, and this power is the so-called potential. ”

I turned around suddenly, only to see the old monk sitting on the futon in the middle of the main hall with his hands folded, as if preaching the scriptures. And around him, the great monks stood respectfully around the main hall, and they didn't even know it.

"What's the joy of life, what's the pain of death? It's just walking from one room to another. It's just from this space to that space. ”

"From beginninglessness to ignorance. Five fun and six ways, all of which are rotational. Therefore, there is a sentient reincarnation, born in the six realms, like the wheel has no end, and there is no period to get out. ”

"The Buddha understood all this, so he built the six paths to promote reincarnation in order to relieve the suffering of all beings. ”

The old monk stopped and looked at me quietly.

The surrounding great monks all clasped their palms together, bowed down and said, "Amitabha." Then they all left.

After the monks left, I smiled and said, "The master hasn't answered my question yet. ”

The old monk smiled and said, "When the Buddha Shakyamuni was twenty-nine years old, he abandoned the world and became a monk. Soon he became enlightened and became a Buddha, so as to know the origin of the cause and the extinction of the death. ”

I calmed down and listened quietly to the old monk's explanation.

"Buddha enlightenment, also known as epiphany. Therefore, the so-called self-taught. ”

My heart moved, as if I vaguely grasped something, but I couldn't tell what it was.

"After the Buddha became enlightened, he enjoyed the Dharma every day, and he did not want to speak the Dharma. So King Brahma went down to earth and personally persuaded the Buddha. ”

Therefore, the Buddha is revered by heaven because he has no teacher. Does Your Highness understand?"

These words rang in my ears like a big bell in the wilderness.

Epiphany, self-taught. Respected by heaven. Establish the six realms of reincarnation.

I couldn't help but laugh.

I see.

The Buddha, having comprehended the secrets of the Heavenly Dao, established the Six Realms to reincarnate all things. Only by becoming a Buddha and an asura can we get out of samsara and live forever.

And why was the Buddha able to comprehend the secrets of the Heavenly Dao?

It doesn't come from cultivation, but from thinking, so it's called epiphany.

The power of thought is so powerful.

And the Buddha was able to establish the six realms, which shows that the world is not completely controlled by matter and power, even if there is only thought, it can generate all things and annihilate all things.

Real or unreal? Who can tell if this is clear?

The so-called only in this mountain, the clouds are deep and do not know where.

That's probably what it means, I guess.

So in the Three Realms Magic Temple, the voice said, "You're in it, isn't that enough?"

I smiled and said to the old monk, "You are idealistic." ”

The old monk smiled and said: "Your Highness has actually accepted this statement in your heart, after all, the theory established by the two races of immortals and gods is not much different from the theory I teach, but the statement is different. And the statement accepted by His Highness is actually just a theory of the Protoss. ”

I shook my head helplessly.

The old monk was right.

Xiao Xu's diamond-shaped multiverse model is based on the fact that the cosmic symmetry is not conserved, resulting in different space-time boundaries.

From the currently known fairy realm and the god realm, it can be seen that there are still different time and space. These planes are separated by a barrier of cosmic potential energy. If you want to enter these planes, you must break this cosmic potential energy barrier.

And in different time and space, there is a so-called Heavenly Dao. This Heavenly Dao is known as cosmic potential energy in the Protoss.

Whether the cosmic potential energy is alive or not, no one can say.

But what is certain is that the cosmic potential energy of a space-time is certain.

For some reason, the cosmic potential energy of the earth is in a state of flux, which causes the human world to be unable to cultivate.

And the Immortal God Realm, which actually belongs to the same space as the earth, can be cultivated for some reason.

Therefore, whether it is the Son of God or the Immortal Sect, they all believe that the Immortal God Realm is a springboard for the human race to enter the space-time with higher cosmic potential energy.

As for what a Buddha is, the old monk's explanation is also very clear.

Buddhas, in fact, like immortals and gods, are all people who can jump out of the six realms of reincarnation, that is, the great power to break free from the barrier of cosmic potential energy and reach a higher cosmic potential energy space-time.

It's just that the Buddha did not rely on pure strength to break the barriers of time and space, but relied on the cultivation of the mind, and finally crossed the barriers of time and space to reach the upper realm.

I smiled and said to the old monk, "Thank you for your teachings. ”

The old monk bowed down and said: "Your Highness has a quick mind and a pure heart, and you will definitely be able to achieve the Great Dao in the future, and Ze will be born by the common people and become immeasurable merits." ”

My face turned straight, and then I became miserable, and said, "That is what I said, but I can't beat the Ni. ”

The old monk raised his hand and looked at the outside of the hall, and said to him: "Your Highness, it's getting late, please rest early." ”

I smiled slightly and said, "What time is it, can the master teach me another lesson?"

The old monk waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, it's too late today, why don't we talk again tomorrow morning, okay?"

I continued to smile and said, "Well, where is the Master's meditation room? I'll talk to the Master tonight with a candle." ”

The old monk was shocked: "This must not be, Your Highness's golden body, how can you be lazy?"

I laughed, walked over and took his hand, and said, "You are still the Bodhidharma Patriarch, how dare I call it a golden body?"

The old monk said helplessly: "My big apprentice Zhiguang is in retreat, if you want my apprentices to form a Tiangang Demon Formation to help you destroy the eight-winged nuns, but you have to Zhiguang to get out of the pass, he is the eye of this formation." ”

I put down his hand and said, "Where is this Master Zhiguang retreating?"

He pointed behind the main hall.

I smiled and said, "Can the master take me there?"

The old monk shook his head and said as he walked: "Since I told you about Zhiguang, I must take you there, and you should wake him up, lest he retreat for too long and go mad." ”

I followed the old monk to the back of the hall, but I saw that the back of the hall was less than five meters, and it was a cliff dozens of meters high perpendicular to the ground.

The cliff is obviously groomed, and along the cliff all the way up, there are dozens of caves, and there is a faint fire in the cave, which should be lit with fire candles.

I was stunned as I watched at the bottom of a two-meter-high cave that was peering out.

"You live here?" I asked, surprised.

I didn't know how to smile and said, "Your Highness, do you want to come in and take a look, my bedroom is a three-bedroom and a living room, which is wider than theirs." ”

The old monk said behind him: "Your Highness, don't be surprised, this mountain wall is a whole rock, which is just used as a place for cultivation. This temple was built here precisely because of this mountain wall. ”

I smiled and said, "This place is warm in winter and cool in summer. ”

The old monk said: "Zhiguang is in the highest cave on this mountain wall, Your Highness, please go by yourself." ”

Sitting at the entrance of the cave, he said with a smile: "Your Highness, why don't I take you there." Oops......"

The old monk who happened to walk to the entrance of the cave suddenly stretched out a foot and kicked the cave into the cave.

I smiled wordlessly.

Immediately, he stomped his foot, and a little on the column head of the main hall, and his body rose several meters high.

At the mouth of a cave in the mountain wall is trimmed a flat platform a little, and a few meters up a few meters high.

Reflexively, he was a little higher on the brick wall of the main hall, and rose a few meters high.

This was repeated several times until we reached the only cave on the highest floor.

In front of this cave, there is a large platform that is well-groomed and leveled, like a balcony.

There are also rows of small holes carved out of the mountain walls on both sides, and shelves separated by wooden planks on which several potted plants are placed.

I stood still on the platform, looked at the entrance of the black hole, immediately hugged my fist, and said loudly: "Master Zhiguang, Xu is here to visit this month." ”

For a long time, there was no movement in the cave.

I couldn't help but be surprised, and said again: "Master Zhiguang, Xu is visiting this month, please come out of the cave." ”

There was still no movement, I released my fairy power and swam in the cave, and I couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Immediately stepped inside.

Lighting the candles in the cave, I looked left and right, walked straight to the end of the cave more than five meters deep, and removed a pile of Buddhist scriptures placed in front of the cave wall, only to see a small hole about one meter in diameter appeared in front of me, and there seemed to be light inside.

I poked into the hole and looked up, only to see that the small hole was bent, and more than ten meters up was the exit.

At this time, it was late at night, and a full moon was located at the entrance of the cave, and the clear light shone on the entrance of the cave, which was unusually bright.
