[14] anther column

The breeze is blowing. I saw a small person on the stone path of the bamboo forest, vaguely the appearance of a drooping boy. The moonlight flowed, the bamboo shadow was mottled, and the bright light fell on his body, as if rolling pearls, green, daisy, thick, and light, and moved forward with the calm and calm of the clothes, all of them fell behind him, and then fell back in the same place and stuck firmly.

The breath of the visitors was extremely quiet. As he got closer and closer, he saw that his size seemed to be slightly larger than what he had seen before, and he was still talking to himself without Zhu Xuan in the water. I looked at it again, and the man was a young girl in a silk dress, as old as twelve or thirteen years old, holding a gold-cast pinga pot in her arms, and her eyebrows and eyes were clear, like the moon in the sky. I was at peace in my heart, and when I looked at her, I suddenly saw a fog descending from my ears, covering the sky and obscuring the sound. The girl walked briskly, came to me, raised her hand to help my shoulder, smiled slightly, and said, "Come with me", her smile was as strict as the sun and moonlight. The night around me gradually melted into this brightness - I looked at it, and suddenly realized that this feeling of "brightness" was real, and there was something faintly floating in that narrow light. I carefully discerned the thin lines with faint contours, and before I could clarify the situation, the hues of the upper and lower dimensions of the four dimensions suddenly sank, and I was already in an endless sea of peonies.

The thin waves of flowers and leaves intertwined, gently, hugged the skirt and swayed towards the sky. The sea of flowers is boundless, the clear sky is clear, the sky is unobstructed, the sky dominates the sea of flowers, and the sea of flowers shines on the sky.

In a moment, the float gathered and disappeared. All cognitions, words, and thoughts cannot survive, where can we find a "me"?

Walking all the way through the flowers and leaves, I didn't want to look up and follow the sun, and suddenly said in my heart: It should still be night.

The thought suddenly dawned, and the sky immediately darkened. Seeing that between heaven and earth, it was so dark that everything was wiped out all of a sudden, and only Miao Lianhua Shenni was left walking in front of me, with a clear figure, and I was stunned.

"The brightness of the sky is the result of delusional separation. When you come in, your heart is still, but when you cling to the day and the night, your heart is moved. ”

I saw that Miao Lianhua Shenni's big sleeves were in the air, and a bright moon like a silver plate suddenly jumped into my eyes, and I felt that the night sky was a deep blue, not as dim as before.

The sole of my shoe touched the ground, and a pebble was squeezed out, and I realized that the ground was getting harder. The peony begins to become a little less dense, and occasionally you can glimpse the calm color of the earth through the branches and leaves, and after a few more steps, you can see a path of multicolored jade, glowing under the moon. The glow travels through the peonies, intermittently meandering, and the terrain under your feet rises and falls. The night sky was clear and clear, I couldn't help but look at it twice, and suddenly my eyes shrank, and not far in the air, a fog-like shadow rose from light to thick, and in the blink of an eye, it condensed into the entity of a mountain. The clouds evaporate upwards from the mountain rocks, scattering in the air, and the northwest of the mountain reveals a quiet lake, reflecting the stars and moon in the sky.

"Lu Bing has been waiting for you for a long time," Miao Lianhua Shenni said.

"Wait for me?"

She said that at the beginning of their acquaintance, she admired you for standing in the world. Now she has violated the vow she made when she entered the Tao, and she is unwilling to practice for a hundred years, and in the end, she has even failed Xiaonuo, who had high-fived her friends. ”

My chest ached. Whenever a practitioner enters the realm, he often encounters demonic difficulties: sometimes it is the bodhisattva who manifests himself to sharpen the pedestrians; sometimes it is the karmic retribution and the ripening of cause and effect, and the unjust relatives and creditors see that you are able to practice and hurry to collect the debts; sometimes the heavenly demons do not want to have another dependent of their own in the world, so they make all kinds of obstacles...... The tests are varied, and if the pedestrian's heart is not strong, or if there is a trace of impropriety, although the spark of the stars is also burning to the sky, the magic test will become an extremely dangerous disaster. However, this is to be expected by practitioners. Ordinary people also encounter all kinds of calamities, but they often live in ignorance, repeating themselves with the turn of circumstances, and they do not think of exercising to get rid of troubles. Ever since I saw the cursive writing on the wall of the Xuanguang Cave Dan Room, I had prayed more than once that Lu Bing would be able to pass any test safely, but in the words of Miao Lianhua Shenni, I heard the sadness of lingering gasp.

"May I ask Shenni, where is Lu Bing?"

"It's right at hand. ”

In front of him, there are only Izumo Izumo and peony in the water, but there is no half a figure.

Miao Lianhua Shenni continued: "Ninety-two years ago, Lu Bing asked me for help with the remaining primordial gods. She was hurt by someone's treachery, and she was extremely resentful, and she tried her last breath to make a decision with others. Therefore, I don't ask for anything else, just ask me to save this wisp of Yuan Shen until you go out of the customs and reward the deceased. ”

I felt sad in my heart: "Then her body, but she is still there?"

Miao Lianhua Shenni shook his head.

I pondered slightly: "The disciple is willing to do his best to restore her spirit and reshape her body!"

"I believe you have this divine power. It's just that her karma is already ripe, who can take it for her?"

I hung my head, speechless.

"Jing Hui," Miao Lianhua Shenni called out to me. When I looked up, I felt that her appearance seemed to have grown more than ten years all of a sudden, and she looked at me deeply with a solemn expression, and said, "Don't think like that. ”

I was so stunned that I almost burst into tears.

"Lu Bing's sins are too heavy, and the Yuan Shen is weak. You need to know that even if you can make Kunlun's magic weapon reappear in the world, and help her be reincarnated as a human being without sin and suffering, it is only a heavenly taboo, and the process is certainly full of twists and turns, and the implication is deep, or you can barely get it for a while, but it is difficult to continue after all. ”

The nun is right, since ancient times, no pedestrian's mana has reached the sky, and he can't resist the cause and effect of his own suffering. However, I have heard that people who are extremely obsessed with love, when their spiritual consciousness falls apart after the end of their lives, and most of them have to throw themselves into the ruthless grass and trees, or they are drawn into the evil path by karma, and they don't know how many calamities they will suffer. Not to mention the need to think of a monastic body - the difficulty of realizing this wish is like that of a blind turtle in the sea, which only emerges once in a hundred years, but happens to be able to penetrate its head through a hole in a piece of driftwood in the sea. If I don't take advantage of the fact that Lu Bing's Yuan God is still alive and fight, I am afraid that in the future, with my little bit of merit cultivation, I will only be helpless.

However, I rushed left and right in my mind, and I still couldn't think of how to deal with it, so as to really help Lu Bing solve this difficulty. Seeing that I was at a loss, Miao Lianhua Shenni said, "The method of salvation is the quickest way to cultivate to the Western Pure Land." ”

"Exactly!" "There is no difficulty in the way, but I have to chooseβ€”I think it is a twist and turn." Reciting the Dharma is the Buddha in the Lonely Garden of the Buddha to say that no matter the root of all beings is blunt, but can recite the Buddha to the heart is not confused, you can take the Buddha's wish to bring karma to the West Mida Pure Land, in the Dharma is the most simple and easy to do, one of the three saints of the West to the Bodhisattva is to rely on the Buddha Dharma to achieve his circle channel fruit. Lu Bing has been living in the flowers for nearly a hundred years, and there are still limited others, but there is a lot of time to practice, but listening to the meaning of Shen Ni's words, it seems that she has not been able to teach her to practice this method, I said: "Is it that Lu Bing Yuan Shen is injured, and it is difficult to achieve single-mindedness in chanting Buddha?"

Miao Lianhua said: "It is difficult to recite the Buddha with one mind, and it is not necessarily easy to recite the Buddha with one mouth. Although the name of 'Amitabha Buddha' is only four words, how many people in the world miss it in their hearts but can't pronounce it, and how many people would rather gossip about right and wrong all day long, but never mention these four words. ”

How so?

Although the practice of Sanxian Yu Zixiu is a side door, he has always admired Buddhism. Compared with Lu Bing, I have little contact with her master, and the reason why I am particularly impressed by him is because of one of the few conversations. I especially remember that year, Tianzhu Mountain was covered with heavy snow, and the plum blossoms in the mountain were forced by the wind and snow, but burst out with infinite vitality, overnight, overlooking the mountains from outside the Xuanguang Cave, the momentum of the fragrant snow overwhelmed the snow. The clouds swirl the petals along the mountain wall and rush upward, carrying the cold fragrance to the sleeves, the sky is clear for a while, overlooking the mountain and the sun, as if the colorful glow overflows from the valley to the top of the mountain. Xiang Xueyun soared to the sky above the exposed desk, gradually dissipated the momentum of rushing into the sky, and fell into a formation. Lu Bing and I thought it was funny, so we went to the edge of the stone cliff there to sip tea. Because I just came from the Thousand Buddha Caves in Bingjian Lake, I had to talk to Lu Bing about what I had seen and heard about this trip. There is a place in the Thousand Buddha Caves, the cave wall is cut into eight sides, seven of which are engraved with seven Buddhas to spread the Dharma, and the front wall is engraved with the seven Buddhas through the precepts, I want to have a deep intention, but at that time we both thought that "all evil is not done, all good is pursued" The reason is very shallow, and I don't understand why the craftsmen of the Thousand Buddha Caves worked hard to carve it on the throne. But coincidentally, Yu Zixiu passed by the exposure desk, and heard us speak under the sky, so he was very interesting, and simply sat down to discuss with our two children. So I thought that if he hadn't been a husband and wife, who had a deep love for the flounder and rejoiced in the joy of eternal life, and was determined to preach the Tao with his own method of creation, it would be natural for him to worship the Buddha with his root nature.

Lu Bing has inherited the teachings of Yu Zixiu and his wife since childhood, and in terms of practice, she may respect her own mental method, but she should be able to hold the principle of "poverty is change, change is clear": they have always been based on cultivating yin and solidifying the form, and after marrying Dan, they still insist on this to seek the transformation realm, and the cultivation door is already narrow, and now she has lost her flesh and blood, and the exercises passed on to her by the scattered immortal Yu Zixiu are equivalent to being completely wasted. According to her temperament, if she is taught by the gods and nuns to recite the Dharma, she should also give it a tryβ€”if she deliberately puts on an awkward temper of "not thinking about it", won't she be unable to get along with herself?

However, after listening to it again, I realized that Lu Bing's situation was even worse than I thought. The anther bar was a ready-made pure dojo, every morning bell and dusk drum sounded from the east, and the Haitian Zen sound spread from the west, but unfortunately Lu Bing was trapped by the three poisons, and even if the years passed, she still turned a deaf ear, and the dry bones of her predecessor had long been decayed, but she still insisted on the previous thoughts and refused to give up. The reason for this is that she made an evil oath back then, and after she was willing to fulfill her promise, she would go straight to the Three Evil Paths, holding hatred and seeking revenge, rather than getting rid of it. If you want to save her, you need to teach her to understand that if you refuse to beat that delusion to death one day, and one day you will not be able to live the Dao body, and if the fire in front of her head is blazing, if she does not set out to save herself, who in the whole world can replace her?"

As she spoke, Miao Lianhua Shenni leaned over the Pinga pot in her arms, and when the beak-shaped mechanism on the side of the golden pot opened slightly, she used the two fingers of her right hand to catch water droplets from the bird's beak and bounce them towards the mountains and rocks. The clouds dissipated instantly, a large dangerous stone hung on the mountain wall, and under the dangerous stone stood a cluster of peonies, more than half a person high, only a flower less than the size of a palm, and the branches and leaves have been out of the veil. "This flower was as big as a jade plate at the beginning, and it was assimilated by Lu Bing's karma, and it fluctuated with its seven emotions, releasing miasma outward. Once the miasma accumulates and fights with the fragrant wind in the anther bar, the unwashed miasma will escape to the outside of the anther bar. If the poisonous miasma is combined with the eight directions of the world, it will breed and transform and prolong the world. Fortunately, similar situations have not been common in the past few decades, "Miao Lianhua Shen Ni put a drop of water into the heart of the flower, and the peony was instantly refreshed, emitting a faint light, and even the head looked bigger. "This peony has long been one with Lu Bing's primordial spirit, and every time he spits out a poisonous miasma recently, his complexion becomes more and more aggrieved - I'm afraid that the day of the zero flower is when Lu Bing's primordial god is separated. ”

Although I didn't get to see the scene of the miasma escaping tonight, judging from Zhu Xuan's expression in the water, the situation at that time should have been very dangerous. I still can't imagine that the stinky blue and black breath in Zhu Xuan's mouth was actually caused by the peony that Lu Bing was living in.

I meditated for a moment, and I felt a little sure in my heart, so I clasped my hands together and said, "Please let me see Lu Bing." ”

Miao Lianhua Shen Ni bowed his head, gently touched my forehead with his fingertips, and said, "Go ahead." I didn't feel the strength of her fingers, but I couldn't help but shake my body, took a step back, and suddenly the clouds and mist gathered from all directions, and the figure of Miao Lianhua Shenni disappeared, and the eyes were full of white and chaotic worlds.
