Chapter 342: Cultivating the Mind
Master Abbot didn't answer Chu Feng's words, but looked at the sky with a smile on his face, in fact, he felt that what the latter said was not unreasonable, stars and meteors, two completely different things, would give people two completely different feelings.
For example, when the sun first starts, you may be a little more curious about the sun, and when it's hot, you hate it, but in the winter you miss it.
The meteor gives people a stunning feeling, and the light emitted by its impact on the earth makes you feel the urge to follow the footsteps of the meteor and see where it falls.
You will remember this meteor for a year, two years or even years, but you will not remember it forever unless your wish is granted.
"The moon is different every night, just like the lyrics of a song, the moon is cloudy and sunny, and the same is true of life and family. ”
After the abbot said this, he stood up, and then walked down step by step, and even until he landed, Chu Feng didn't hear any sound.
After the abbot left, Chu Feng continued to sit there and watch the moon, and many images flashed in his mind, including when he was a child, thinking about it, Chu Feng fell asleep.
The next day, when the sun rose, Chu Feng was awakened by the light emitted by the sun, took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, it was already five o'clock, Chu Feng jumped down from the house, and then followed the monks to the Daxiong Treasure Hall and continued to chant.
After eating fast, the abbot still asked Chu Feng to watch from the pilgrims, and at night, when Chu Feng was watching the moon in the house, the abbot would always appear in front of him and say a few words, and then leave.
In a blink of an eye, Chu Feng had been in Shaolin Temple for half a month, and in this half month, in addition to chanting Buddha and chanting, he stood in the place where the pilgrims offered incense, and at night he still went to the roof to watch the moon as always.
However, during this time, Chu Feng would no longer ask the abbot why he left himself in the Shaolin Temple, and every day after eating fasting, Chu Feng would consciously clean up the place where the pilgrims were incensed.
"Do you still want to know why I left you at the Shaolin Temple? The abbot looked at Chu Feng, who was sitting on the roof in a daze, and then walked up to him and sat down.
"Self-cultivation, apart from this, I can't think of anything else, you are really a great master. After Chu Feng stayed in the Shaolin Temple for a week, he understood the reason why the abbot forced him to stay in the Shaolin Temple.
"Well, and more importantly, when the time comes, you'll understand that you're acting like I thought you were doing these days. ”
The abbot was quite satisfied with Chu Feng's performance in the past half a month, if it was an ordinary person, I am afraid that he would have been clamoring to leave a long time ago.
"Master Abbot, I have a question for you, if a murderer came to you to ordain, would you take him in. ”
Chu Feng kept looking at the abbot when he spoke, he obviously saw the abbot stunned just now, it seemed that the abbot hadn't thought about this problem.
"The Dharma says that there are no unattainable people, but for those who have broken the Dharma, encourage them to face the punishment of the law, instead of taking them in and letting them recite sutras and repent to the Buddha here. ”
After Chu Feng said this, he took the lead in going down from the roof, leaving the abbot alone to look at the stars in the sky and the moon in the sky.
After eating the fast the next day, the abbot did not let Chu Feng go to the pilgrims to enter the incense, but asked Chu Feng to follow the warrior monks of Shaolin Temple to practice martial arts.
On the first day, Chu Feng had a sparring with three monks, and without using a scalpel as a hidden weapon, Chu Feng was defeated twice, and if he used it, Chu Feng could kill them in seconds.
After all, the monks of Shaolin Temple only practiced martial arts to strengthen their bodies, not to kill people, and it was impossible for them to use their flesh and blood to carry Chu Feng's scalpel.
The next day, after eating, ten disciples took Chu Feng to the bottom of the mountain with two wooden barrels to fetch water, they had to pass a single-plank bridge, saying that it was a bridge, but it was actually a huge log, and then a few things were supported under the log, and it was fixed so that it would not be washed away by the water.
After fetching water, the ten monks left first, and Chu Feng stayed at the end, because those monks were already accustomed to such a special way of practicing, Chu Feng carried two buckets of water for the first time, and walked on this single-plank bridge one after the other.
At the beginning, he didn't take two steps, and the water in his bucket would be less, and when he was about to reach the middle, Chu Feng glanced at the opposite side, and then the whole person's center of gravity was unbalanced, and he fell directly into the river.
After coming out of the river, Chu Feng took two buckets and went to the place where they had just fetched water, and then continued to walk on the single-plank bridge with the buckets.
Crossing the bridge this time, Chu Feng walked relatively slowly, he hung the two buckets with his arms, and then raised them high, walking forward step by step, he didn't look at the road under his feet, nor did he look at the end point, how far away from him was, he walked forward step by step.
It took nearly seven minutes for Chu Feng to walk down from the single-plank bridge, this time there was no shortage of water in his bucket, and his body was very stable when he walked back, no matter how fast he walked, the water in the bucket was there, and it would not spill at all.
After bringing the water to the courtyard, a monk immediately took Chu Feng to the back mountain, which was not the abbot's back mountain.
When he arrived at the back mountain, he found more than a dozen monks lying on the stones in various postures, some of them were lying down, some were lying on their stomachs, and some were leaning on them.
"Sit here and feel the breath of the mountain as the air around you and everything you can feel. ”
The monk who brought Chu Feng said a few words to him, and then sat down by himself, Chu Feng glanced at a dozen people, and then sat down by himself.
He sat there without leaning against the stone, his body was very straight, and slowly, Chu Feng relaxed his body, and he felt that his body was getting lighter and lighter.
I don't know how long it took, Chu Feng kept a posture, sitting there without moving, the breeze gusted, and his hair fluttered with the wind.
When, the sound of the bell suddenly appeared in Chu Feng's ears, and when he opened his eyes, it was almost dark, and the people next to him had gone back, leaving him here by himself.
Chu Feng stood up from the stone, stretched his waist, and there was a crackling sound from his body, as if the beans in the field had been blown up by the sun.
Chu Feng moved his body, he felt that his body was more relaxed than ever, and when he walked, there was no sound under his feet at all, and after sitting for so long, he didn't feel hungry.
Chu Feng returned to the house where he lived, and as soon as he entered, he saw the abbot master sitting there, seemingly waiting for him.
"Seeing that your body is light, there is some joy on your eyebrows, and you walk without sound, it seems that you have gained a lot this day. ”
