Chapter 7 Bodhi is not a tree

The early morning sun sprinkled on the earth, and the night of snow made the earth a piece of silver, Yun Na and the three girls finally couldn't resist the beauty of the snow scene and rushed into the snow to play. Xue Yueji leaned on the white tiger's body, looked at the faces of the three girls playing in the snow, but there was no expression, and her eyes became very empty.

Suddenly, a snowball flew over and hit Xue Yueji's face, Xue Yueji was stunned for a moment, raised his hand to brush away the snow and water marks on his face, stared blankly at the snow in his hand, and watched the snow in his hand gradually melt. Yun Na and the three of them couldn't help but laugh when they saw Xue Yueji looking at the snow in his hand in a daze, and the crisp and pleasant laughter like a silver bell was born into Xue Yueji's ears. Xue Yueji smiled faintly, shook off the snow in his hand and said:

"Looks like you're going to play for the day today. It's okay, I'm tired too. Let's play first. I'm not going to leave today. Leave early tomorrow morning, and I don't want any of you to be called up by me. ”

The three girls sensitively felt the abnormality on Xue Yueji's body and invariably gathered around, Yun Na knelt in front of Xue Yueji and said softly and carefully:

"Wood, are you still thinking about what happened yesterday? It's been more than 2,000 years, why are you bothering?"

Xue Yueji grabbed a little snow and rubbed it into a small snowball and flicked it gently, and the small snowball gently hit Yun Na's forehead. Xue Yueji smiled slightly and said:

"You hit me with a snowball. Now I'm revenge. ”

Yun Na rubbed the place where the snowball of the snow moon mark was hit, and said to the snow moon mark with dissatisfaction:

"What are you doing, wood! A dignified man is still so stingy! Aren't people just hitting you with a snowball? ”

Xue Yueji said calmly:

"You're right, I'm just stingy. Otherwise, it would be impossible to remember one thing for more than 2,000 years and still not forget it. What's more, I have always realized in killing, where can killing come without hatred?"

Yun Na suddenly leaned her face in front of Xue Yueji's face, stared at Xue Yueji tightly, and said viciously:

"Excuses! You're making excuses! Even if the killing is motivated by hatred, then the person you hate died more than 2,000 years ago! And many times the killing is not motivated by hatred!"

Xue Yueji didn't care about Yun Na's statement, and he also agreed with Yun Na's statement. For he knew better than anyone that six out of ten killings were motivated by profit, three were carried away by anger, and only once were genuine hatred. Hatred, on the other hand, is often used as an excuse to cover up the truth about killings, whether between nations or individuals. Xue Yueji said lightly to Yun Na, who was less than two centimeters away from herself:

"Don't you think your position is too close? According to your words, you are now tempting others to sin. You'd better stay away from me, lest there be any accidents. ”

Yun Na suddenly turned red at the root of her ears, grabbed a large handful of snow and smashed it at Xue Yueji. But before the snow she threw hit the snow moon marks, it was blown away by the wind, turning into little crystalline ice crystals and drifting away. Yun Naqi's little face was slightly raised, pretending to be indifferent, and said to Xue Yueji:

"That's to say to others! You don't have any problems with this wood! I'm not close to you now, and I usually lean on you when I sit on the back of the white tiger! There were no accidents at that time, how can it be now?"

A trace of mystery flashed in Xue Yueji's eyes, and she smiled faintly and said to Yun Na:

"Yes, you don't think there's any danger at this distance, do you?"

Before Yun Na could hear what Xue Yueji's words meant, she noticed that Xue Yueji was slowly approaching her, and Yun Na jumped up like a frightened fawn and stared at Xue Yueji vigilantly. Hai Rou, who was looking forward to it next to her, saw Yun Na running away, and immediately said with a disappointed face:

"Sister Yunna is really, it's just a little bit close!

Hailan next to her hit Hai Rou on the head with a thunderbolt at lightning speed, and pretended to say:

"Why don't you learn so well at such a young age! When you get to the imperial capital, I must tell Aunt Maria and let her discipline you well! Don't you know that it is very rude for others to stare at others when they are kissing? You are a princess, and you must pay attention to etiquette in everything you do, so that you can show the elegant side of the princess. ”

Hai Rou rubbed the grievances of being smashed by Hailan and said:

"But in the story, the injured Sky Knight kissed the princess like this, and I finally saw it once! And wasn't Sister Hailan staring at it just now? Why are you talking about people!"

Hailan proudly said to Hai Rou:

"I didn't let you stare at people, and I didn't say I wouldn't let you peek, or wouldn't the princess be a puppet?"

Xue Yueji cleared her throat and attracted the attention of Hailan and Hai Rou, who looked at Xue Yueji suspiciously, and found that Xue Yueji did not look at them, but stared at somewhere else. Hailan and Hairou couldn't help but shiver as they looked at Xue Yueji's gaze, and Yun Na was staring at the two of them viciously, threatening to devour the two of them alive. Hailan and Hai Rou know Yun Na's character deeply, usually look at her soft and weak and weak, no matter how she jokes, she just looks shy or intimidating, but this is only limited to when she is not angry. If she's angry, congratulations, you're in for a bad luck. When Yun Na was angry, she didn't hesitate to slap Xue Yueji, a scared killer, not to mention the two princesses.

Just when Yun Na was about to erupt, Snow Moon Marks suddenly appeared in her sight, blocking her gaze from glaring at Hailan and Hai Rou, and turned back to Hailan and Hai Rou and said:

"You two go play around. Tomorrow is going to be a whole day's journey, don't be too tired to play. ”

Hailan and Hai Rou shrewdly ran into the tent, and Yun Na said to Xue Yueji dissatisfiedly:

"Why are you stopping me, I didn't see the two of them making fun of me just now!"

Xue Yueji fell straight to the ground like a piece of wood, looked at the clear sky behind the snow, and said:

"Yes, but since the old man has entrusted them to me, I have to ensure their safety, right? There's snow everywhere, and if you do anything to the two of them, they're already covered in snow. And I'm lazy and don't want to dig the two of them out of the snowdrift myself, so it's easier to stop you. ”

Yun Na's anger came and went faster, and in the blink of an eye, most of her kung fu had disappeared. Yun Na took Snow Moon Scar's hand and tried to pull him up from the ground, but no matter how hard she tried, Snow Moon Scar didn't move as if it had taken root on the ground. Yun Na kicked Xue Yueji and said:

"Hurry up! You're going to get sick like this!"

Xue Yueji looked at the sky, smiled faintly, and said nonchalantly:

"Have you ever seen a dead person sick? I've lost the right to be sick since the day I became a zombie. It's also a good choice to look at the sky, and there shouldn't be any bugs to disturb you today, so let's spend a quiet day. ”

Yun Na sat beside Xue Yueji a little helplessly, holding her chin with her left hand, looking at the clear and cloudless sky, and asked Xue Yueji:

"Wood, can't you let go of the hatred in your heart? For more than 2,000 years, hatred has made your heart covered with ice and snow like this land, don't you want to let your heart be full of sunshine to live?"

Xue Yueji pondered for a long time before replying:

"Maybe. Just as you said, my heart is really frozen now, and I really can't give up the persistent hatred in my heart. It would be more accurate to say hatred than remorse. You also know that I comprehended the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in the midst of killing, and killing is the easiest way to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth under the premise that there is no way to reach the Great Dao by perceiving the five elements of nature. But how easy is it to truly comprehend the way of killing? Only when you truly comprehend the realm of 'killing to stop killing' can you step into the gate of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. Since ancient times, who can say that I have realized the Tao by killing from the very beginning? Although I am proficient in killing, I am far from reaching the realm of entering the Tao by killing, so I can only seek another method. There's no way, I can't be like my master who 'kills is kills'. My master never hesitated to kill, and in his opinion, killing was pure killing, without any add-ons. And I can't, when I kill, I will take into account my companions around me, and I don't dare to kill too much. I'm afraid that I can't control it well and affect those companions. It is precisely because I can't reach the realm of 'killing is killing' that I sometimes can't control myself and kill, which leads to many times when I feel some regret after killing. ”

Xue Yueji smiled gloomily and said to Yun Na:

"Ridiculous, isn't it? A demon who kills people on the battlefield without blinking an eye actually says that he regrets killing. Isn't it a big joke?"

Yun Na lay down, rested her head on Xue Yueji's chest, looked at the sky and said:

"It's not funny. It's not funny at all. It's not funny at all to regret knowing that you didn't mean it. Why do you have to regret it? As a general, it is your duty to kill the enemy. Isn't it very derelict if you can't even kill the enemy? You are a soldier, and you must do to go into battle to kill the enemy and defend your home and country. If you regret even that, you're a failure. ”

Xue Yueji glanced down at Yun Na, who was looking at him, moved her gaze back to the sky, and said lightly:

"Yes, those killings are indeed my duty. Maybe it seems to you that I don't need to feel sorry for those killings. But if you see your comrades fearing you because of your brutal killings, and whenever they see you, they avoid you like a plague god, and you don't think so. Watching my comrades-in-arms treat me as a second god of murder one by one, respecting and fearing, and even saying a word to me normally, how does it feel for your child to me? That's when I really understood how painful it was for the master who commanded thousands of troops from above. It is precisely because of this that I chose to be the sword of my master, and I always follow my master. ”

Xue Yueji's words were filled with sadness and loneliness, and Yun Na looked at the sky and muttered:

"Bodhi is not a tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where is the dust?"

A trace of clarity rose in Xue Yueji's heart, and she said with some surprise:

"You have not yet comprehended the true meaning of 'goodness is like water', and if you have comprehended the realm of 'goodness is like water', it is not an exaggeration to say that you are the holy daughter of Jishidu. ”

Yun Na pinched Xue Yueji's arm and said:

"What do you say, how can I have such a high realm?"

Xue Yueji said lightly:

"'Bodhi is not a tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing in the first place, where is the dust?' just two sentences have broken through the root cause of my predicament, and now you can say such words, not to mention that you have comprehended the true meaning of 'goodness is like water' in the future?"

Yun Na pursed the corners of her lips and said:

These two sentences were said by the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism during the Tang Dynasty, Dajian, Vacuum, Pujue, Yuanming, and Huineng Zen Master. At that time, the master of Huineng Zen Master wanted to choose a disciple to pass on his mantle and bowl, and ordered each disciple to write a verse. Shenxiu, the senior brother of Zen Master Huineng, wrote in the corridor: 'The body is a Bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror platform, always wipe diligently, and do not make dust.' The two sentences were seen by Master Huineng's master, Master Hongren, who was very dissatisfied and asked Zen Master Huineng, who had just passed by, to compose a poem. Zen Master Huineng said these two sentences at that time. After that, Master Hongren passed on his mantle to Zen Master Huineng, and Zen Master Huineng became the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism. If you count it, Zen Master Huineng is even younger than you, **100 years old!"

Xue Yueji smiled lightly and said:

"What a genius, if I were to pass on my mantle to him. Like his senior brother Shenxiu, although he is deeply affected by the Great Dao, he can only wander outside the Great Dao, if I were that Hongnin, I would definitely be angry with him. A good one, 'Bodhi is not a tree, a mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where is the dust?' can say such a thing, if he can't do it, then he can only say that the way of heaven is unfair. ”

Yun Na turned over and lay on her side in the snow, looked at the peaceful Xue Yueji and said:

"How's it going? Do you want to open a little now?"

Xue Yueji said lightly:

"It's okay. Maybe I can break through the current realm with the dotting of these two sentences. However, it is unlikely to be possible. It is already more difficult to maintain a calm mind in the midst of killing, and the difficulty of reaching the realm of these two sentences is no longer something that can be described in words. The avenue of the avenue, how to become the avenue! The road manmanqi is far away, I will go up and down and seek. ”

Yun Na's eyes inadvertently saw Hailan and Hai Rou looking at them through the gap in the tent and sat up violently, and then heard a "crackling" sound from the tent where Hailan and Hai Rou were. You didn't have to look at Yun Na to know that it was the sound of Hailan and Hai Rou seeing her suddenly sit up and retreat in fright, the sound of knocking things down. The white tiger, who had been sleeping, was woken up by the noise made by Hailan and Hai Rou, raised his head and glanced at the tent where Hailan and Hai Rou were dissatisfied, and roared, stood up, stretched, and continued its sleep business.

Yun Na stood up, crept to the side of the white tiger, and suddenly shouted into the white tiger's ear:

"Get up, lazy cat! If you don't get up, it's going to be dark!"

The white tiger opened his sleepy eyes, glanced at Yun Na, covered his ears with his front paws, and continued to sleep. Yun Na pulled out her flying sword from the scabbard and compared it to the white tiger's body intentionally or unintentionally, as if she was planning something. The white tiger opened his eyes violently, and in the next second, he appeared ten meters away from Yun Na, vigilantly staring at the flying sword in Yun Na's hand. Yun Na said softly to the white tiger:

"White Tiger, you see it's winter now, it's so cold, and I'm just wearing an autumn coat. I suddenly feel a little cold today, do you want to contribute a little fur to let me keep out the cold? I don't want a lot, as long as it's enough for me to make a cotton coat to keep out the cold. ”

The white tiger stepped back a few meters again, although Yun Na's size was petite, but for her to make a cotton coat, she would have to use at least half of its fur, and if Yun Na's craftsmanship was not very good, it would have to be used even more. Although the white tiger's fur still has some organs that are not too large to be reborn quickly, the customer Si Baihu is not willing to go through the process of being stripped of at least half of his fur alive.

Yun Na smiled and walked towards the white tiger step by step, and the white tiger also stepped back step by step. Finally, the white tiger couldn't bear this mental torture and turned around and ran as soon as he wailed, Yun Na's little hand waved, and a wall of snow several meters thick suddenly rose from the snow, blocking the way of the white tiger. The white tiger immediately turned, but another wall of snow appeared in front of it. After a few minutes, the white tiger's surroundings were already covered with a wall of snow, so that the white tiger could not move a little. The white tiger roared in fear, but he didn't expect that the seemingly solid snow walls that were several meters thick actually collapsed in its roar, and the white tiger was buried by dozens of tons of snow. Xue Yueji said lightly:

"Alright, stop messing around. I'm quite clear about your situation. I can still believe that the two of them feel cold because of the change in the weather, but I don't believe you when you say that you feel cold because of the change in the weather. You control the water, and if you say you're afraid of the heat, it's possible, but if you say you're afraid of the cold, I don't believe it. ”

Yun Na pulled a sword flower and put the flying sword ** in the scabbard, and said stupidly:

"Really, it's hard to find a fun one for you to mess with. I'm going to sleep!

After saying that, Yun Na turned around and got into her tent, and Xue Yueji shook her head helplessly and continued to look at the clear sky.
