Chapter Seventy-One: The Crystal Ball The performance of life and death is a play

"I see, even computers have sleep mode and hibernate mode. Zhang Manman suddenly thought of this, "The sleep mode of the computer is that the memory is not powered on, and the data is still being transmitted. Whereas, the sleep mode is when the computer shuts down after the file is saved. ”

This is an apt analogy. Master Ma approved.

"We Tai Chi pay attention to this strength and that strength, in the final analysis, it is still physical movement, and the psychological research is not so profound. Lao Chen also listened very carefully.

"All in all, the introduction to the big corpse method is to turn coarse thoughts into fine thoughts, and it is also the first level. Basically, all those who practice this kung fu can't pass the first level, and they can't get rid of their rough thoughts, and only think about them carefully. Master Ma glanced at Su Zheng strangely: "How long did it take you to pass this level?"

Su Zheng thought about it, and it seemed that he had entered this state for the first time.

This is also the reason why it is favored by Audrey.

He thought it was nothing, but now he realized that it was simply too shocking.

But he still told the truth: "I got rid of the rough thinking the first time and went into the careful thinking. ”

Master Ma opened his mouth and closed it after a long time: "People like you were born to cultivate in ancient times, but I don't believe it, don't brag about it, children." ”

Su Zai shook his head: "Teacher Ma, if you continue, just let me brag." He didn't want to dwell on this issue and wanted to hear the following explanation.

"That's good. Master Ma continued to speak: "The second level of the big corpse method is to seem to be dead but not dead. That is, with the profundity of cultivation, the subtlety of that thinking is so subtle that he doesn't even know if he has it. Say he doesn't have it, but there are some clues, say he has it, and I can't see the real form. According to zazen, this is called 'non-thinking, non-thinking'. The meaning is also the same as before, that is, the idea is extremely subtle, can not be properly explained, whether this idea exists or does not exist, this level of the realm is extremely rare, if the previous 'peace of mind' realm is one in a million, then now this 'like death is not death' of the second realm, it is really the peak, in ancient times is to cultivate to an extremely advanced Zen master, a lifetime of practice may not be able to reach. There are even fewer people in modern society. ”

"What about the third layer?" Su Zheng had already reached the realm of the second layer, and even saw the third layer.

"The third level is the realm of all contemplation that truly disappears, that is, the realm of the living dead, which I call 'the heart is dead and alive'. According to Zen Buddhism, when you reach this state, Buddha-nature is born. After the mind dies, the Buddha-nature manifests. Confucianism calls it benevolence, while Taoism calls it Daoxin. Master Ma said: "In this state of mind, people's physical fitness will gradually change amazingly. I've only seen a few people get to this point over the years. ”

"Master Ma, have you reached this realm?" asked Su Zai.

"Nope. I, like you, am on the second level, and I seem to be dead rather than dead, and of course what I am practicing is not the Great Corpse Method, but another meditation. But in fact, the principle is the same, and the end result is the pursuit of this. Master Ma said.

"Little friend, have you really reached the point where you seem to be dying?" Lao Chen was a little unconvinced: "I have practiced Tai Chi for so many years, but I just sleep very steadily, I don't dream, I eat very fragrant, my body is very good, my eyes, teeth, nose and ears are very sensitive, according to Lao Ma said, it is just the first level of 'peace of mind'." ”

"Uncle Chen, who doesn't know that your body is good, and your favorite performance is to bite walnuts and broad beans in one bite. Zhang Manman said.

Lao Chen is actually in his sixties and looks like he is in his early forties.

And his teeth are very good, chewing hard broad beans and grinding them to pieces, and even hard walnuts, he uses his teeth to bite them. Of course, he can easily crush walnuts with his fingers.

"Lao Chen, to be honest, I don't believe it either, but that's the case. My psychological experience tells me that this child is real, and it is possible to break through directly and reach the realm of the living dead. Master Ma smiled a little bitterly: "I saw him in the park that time, he died uncleanly, but now his mental activity can't even be seen by me." ”

"I don't believe it either. Lao Chen shook his head again and again: "If he reaches the realm of the living dead at this age, then he is not even more powerful than the Patriarch of Dayang? Only the Sixth Ancestor Hui can suddenly become enlightened and reach this realm at a very young age." The Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng read the sentence of the Diamond Sutra that 'should have no place to live and give birth to his heart', so that he became a Buddha and shone through the ages. ”

"Should there be no place to live and give birth to his heart?" Su Zai heard this, thoughtful.

The meaning of this sentence is that when people do not have any attachment to the material feelings of the world, Buddha nature will be born. Master Ma said: "To live means to stay, to be nostalgic." Of course, this nostalgia is not the nostalgia of the other, but the nostalgia of cause and effect. It's not that you want to destroy humanity, deny your parents, and don't want family affection. Some people make a mistake in this understanding, and really abandon everything, but instead embark on the path of demons, and not living anywhere is not extinction. Now some people are cultivating the method of cessation, but in fact they are very wrong. ”

"It's hard to understand. Su Zai shook his head.

"Kung Fu things are still simple, this move, that move, are all traceable. Lao Chen shook his head: "The psychological things are too complicated, I have heard you say for a long time, and it is mysterious and mysterious, and people who don't understand it will think that they are charlatans." ”

"In fact, there are many such 'masters' who do any kind of spiritual classes, all of which are liars, not to mention affecting people's mental health, cheating money and sex, and also affecting social order. This phenomenon has been repeatedly banned, and even affected those of us who study psychology normally. Master Ma sighed.

"So that's why you don't have classes?" Lao Chen said, "I still want you to go to my Mixed Yuan Tai Chi Hall to give a lecture to the students." ”

"Forget it. Master Ma waved his hand: "The law is not passed on lightly, it is not that you are cheating on yourself, but even if you put the truth in front of him, they think you are a liar, and you are very helpless." ”

"Let's move on. Lao Chen said: "You want to learn from my Tai Chi and research the treatment of mental illness." ”

"I'm almost perfecting my crystal ball therapy. It just so happens that Su Zai's children are here, so it's better to come and see it. Find me the flaws. Master Ma took out a crystal ball the size of an apple from the drawer.

As soon as the crystal ball was held in his hand, Master Ma rotated slightly, and suddenly the whole ball seemed to float in the air.

As his technique changed, the crystal ball seemed to lose its weight, more easily than a feather, rolling around his fingertips, palms, arms, and shoulders.

This crystal ball seems to be alive and given life, like a crystal rabbit, running around on the body of the "Master Ma", very lively.

Seeing this crystal ball, Su Zheng seemed to see a newborn little life, very curious about the world, fresh and beautiful everywhere.

The whole person's mood is cheerful.

Yes!

Zhang Manman let out an exclamation, it turned out that the crystal ball was rolling quickly, it seemed that the little rabbit had been attacked by a bird of prey, and it was instinctively dodging, getting more and more anxious, more and more anxious.

Su Zheng was worried when he saw it, worried about the fate of this little rabbit.

Crunch!

At the last moment, the crystal ball swished and burrowed into Master Ma's sleeve, representing that the little rabbit had burrowed into the cave at the last moment and escaped the catastrophe of life.

Su Zai's heart was also relieved.

Then, the crystal ball slipped out of the sleeve and probed his brain, looking smart and cheerful, rolling soothingly, basking in the sun, and then standing still, as if he was tired and wanted to sleep soundly.

And Su Zai's eyes and mind were all attracted by this smart crystal ball, and he couldn't leave it at all, dancing with the life of the crystal ball, and he also had a feeling of wanting to sleep peacefully when the crystal ball was tired and wanted to sleep.

At this time, he glanced at Zhang Manman, and actually fell asleep sitting on the chair.

"In this section of the crystal ball, I occasionally saw the little rabbit out of the hole to play and was chased by the eagle and escaped the process, which was expressed in a technique and named 'Life and Death'. To it is added the various strengths of Tai Chi. Master Ma said: "This set of techniques also adds some hypnotic techniques to treat people's mental illnesses and make people enlighten the life and death of nature." What do you think?"

"Awesome. Su Zai was amazed: "This is really the most profound art, I have seen some 'talent show' crystal ball performances, which can be dizzying, but compared to you, it is the difference between a primary school student and a doctor." After I watched it, I felt that life and death were impermanent, I was glad that I was still alive, and I was very peaceful and satisfied in my heart. ”

"Yes, the ultimate goal of kung fu is to create a better life, and if it is used to beat people to judge strength and weakness, it is too narrow. Lao Chen nodded.

"What's wrong with me?" Between speaking, Zhang Manman woke up: "Uncle Ma, I was hypnotized just now? ”

"You're very thoughtful. Master Ma said: "Stay with me for a while, and I will help you adjust your mental state." ”

Zhang Manman seemed to be waiting for this sentence: "Then thank you Uncle Ma." This psychological training of yours is rare, I heard that Liu Long invited you to give him three months of psychological counseling, so that he defeated many opponents, and won the national championship of the Heshan Cup Fighting Tournament in one fell swoop. ”

"Liu Long?" Su Zheng knew that this was now the first in domestic fighting, and Zhou Chun had just climbed into the top ten, but compared with Liu Long, the difference was too big.

Zhou Chun's grade score is more than three hundred, while Liu Long's is more than five thousand, a difference of ten times.

The rating of fighters is based on many factors such as wins and losses, number of times, and the excitement of the fight, and the strength is evaluated by a precise algorithm.

Don't look at Zhou Chun in the top ten, but if he touches Liu Long, he will beat him with three punches and two kicks, and he won't even recognize his mother.
