Chapter 4 Breaking the Void and Using the Void

"Who can tell the poor monks how to get rid of self-grasping?"

Master Huikong stood quietly in the center of the main hall of the Pavilion, smiling and looking compassionately, waiting for everyone's reply. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The seats in the main hall were silent, but the students upstairs listened to the master's invitation, and everyone was very excited, and the whispering quickly turned into mutual discussion, and the noise resounded through the library for a while.

Seeing the chaotic atmosphere, Old Master Guan couldn't wait to immediately stop these things that didn't understand the rules, and he was afraid of disturbing Master Huikong's interest, so he had to take out a silk towel to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and at the same time asked for help and looked at Mr. Yi, who had been thinking about the seat next to him.

Mr. Yi knew that he couldn't push it, so he got up leisurely with a slight chin of his head, and in front of everyone's eyes, he first pretended to clear his voice and coughed a few times, which was effective, and the noisy students upstairs immediately quieted down. Everyone's expectant eyes looked at Mr. Yi, who was tall and arrogant.

Master Huikong looked at Mr. Yi as expected, and his eyes were full of approval with supreme wisdom.

Mr. Yi's eyes were blazing to meet Master Huikong, he bowed, and said after a moment of silence: "I think that if you want to break the obstacle of self-grasping, you should break through the emptiness and use emptiness!" ”

As soon as these words came out, a stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone at the table was puzzled. There were quite a few local bachelors in the deputy seat, not to mention how the students upstairs quarreled.

Yue Xiaofeng thought about the deep meaning of Mr. Yi's words, how could he be quiet in his ears, sighed helplessly, looked around the floor with great boredom, and shook his head disdainfully in the face of those students from other colleges who were talking about empty words. At this moment, Yue Xiaofeng raised his eyes and saw Xuan Yunzhuo, who was still wearing a white shirt and standing tall on the fence of the opposite building, standing proudly with his arms crossed, and no one approached the vacant seats within nearly three feet on both sides.

Like the students, Xuan Yunzhuo's gaze was always fixed on Mr. Yi, but Yue Xiaofeng could see that this son's gaze was completely different from others, intertwined with peeping, jealousy, hostility, and even more complicated expressions.

Master Huikong recited a Buddha horn in a low voice, and said with approval: "What do you think of breaking the void and using the void?" ”

There is no shortage of people who are good at Zen and Taoism, and they were confident that they could deal with the obsession that should be regarded as an introduction to Buddhism, but unexpectedly, Mr. Yi raised the problem to the Zen stage of Buddhism, which is disputed by various sects of Buddhism.

The first woman on the west seat, dressed in light yellow sleeves and a delicate face with cloud temples and phoenix hairpins, got up, smiled and bowed to Master Huikong first, turned to Mr. Yi, who was in charge of Zhuo Li, and asked softly: "The little woman Ji Fangyun asked Mr., what is the use of emptiness?" Sir, can you elaborate on it, Fang Yun and everyone here are willing to listen to the teaching! ”

Mr. Yi knew that this pretty woman was the third leader of the "Wuhu Gang" in southern Anhui, known as the "pretty rakshasa" Ji Fangyun, and the first thin middle-aged man in the south - Wu Chong, the leader of the "Kunpeng Gang" and "Ghost Shadow Sword", were both powerful figures in southern Anhui. He nodded politely at the moment and said, "Ji Dangjia is polite!" ”

Looking around at the expectant gaze, Mr. Yi took a moment to say:

"The void is the appearance of nothingness!"

"The Buddhist scriptures have clouds, and they are illusory, all born from the heart. The heart is a thing, and the outside is fascinated by the six desires of the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, and the inner is confused by the seven emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, love, hatred, and desire. ”

Therefore, one should sacrifice one's self to practice the precepts and meditate. Then keep quiet to enter the concentration, and cultivate the determination to generate wisdom, so that we can prove it - to break the emptiness of the phase with the emptiness, and to restore the essence of the selfless with the heart of selflessness. ”

"Since there is no self in the first place, how can there be self-grasping?"

"The so-called breaking of emptiness and emptiness in Buddhism is called 'nature is free' in Buddhism, 'Taoism is natural', and in Confucianism it is called 'benevolence and benevolence'. Although the names are different and the paths are the same, the meaning is the method of breaking the ego. ”

Yue Xiaofeng, who was accustomed to reading Buddhist scriptures, couldn't help nodding his head, and he felt that the focus of the problem was too vague, and he was a little itchy and unfinished.

"Good and good, what Yi Jushi said is deeply rooted in the essence of my Buddha's Mahayana scriptures, and it is unique in its ability to absorb public opinions, which is particularly valuable!" Master Huikong nodded in praise, looked around and said, "I wonder if the ranking here can still be icing on the cake, or if there is another high theory?" ”

There was no shortage of scholars and celebrities who were invited to the audience, and they all fell into deep thought at this time. Most of them agreed with Mr. Yi's remarks, and Master Huikong had a high evaluation, unless he surpassed the other party's remarks or refuted them with one blow, he would not dare to force himself out.

Xixi Ji Fangyun still looked at Mr. Yi's elegant and heroic posture with moving eyes, her lips were slightly pursed, and a seductive sweet smile rippled.

At this time, on the side seat next to Wu Chong, the leader of the "Kunpeng Gang" in the south seat, a middle-aged scribe dressed in plain white clothes and arrogant between his eyebrows stood up unhurriedly, hugged his fists and saluted Master Huikong, and then left the seat with the sword on his waist, paced a few steps proudly, and looked around the four seats with a sharp gaze flashing with essence, and said:

"It is undeniable that this gentleman's explanation of the Zen Sutra and Buddhism is wonderful, but there is still a question in my heart, I wonder if Mr. can solve my doubts?"

As soon as the provocative words were spoken, all the seats in the main hall and even the entire library immediately fell silent, including the noncommittal Master Huikong, all looked at Mr. Yi and waited for his response.

Yue Xiaofeng condescendingly looked at the middle-aged scribe who spoke provocatively, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that this person was full of evil energy, especially the slender white and pure woman-like hand on the saber, the five fingers moved slightly, and he always buckled the hilt of the sword in a strange rhythm.

Mr. Yi allowed the pure yang qi electrode in his body to operate on its own, dispelling the yin and cold qi electrode that the other party was trying to dip into. With only this person's superb cathode strength and evil white hands, he had already guessed that this person was definitely not a subordinate of the "Kunpeng Gang", but a "plain hand" Yin Xuan, who was ranked among the "Nine Masters of the Evil Sect".

Mr. Yi stood with his hands in his hands, smiled freely, met the other party's aggressive gaze, and said: "Since 'Sushou' Yin Xuan is bent on seeking Taoism and asking Zen, how can someone Yi refuse to be thousands of miles away. Brother Yin asked, Yi knew everything, and said everything! ”

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.

"Ghost Shadow Sword" Wu Chong and a few other insiders changed their faces greatly, and the people in the rivers and lakes in the southwest looked at the two of them in disbelief, and the "plain hand" Yin Xuan usually only appeared in the list of the "Nine Masters of the Evil Sect" that was spread by everyone, and he had never watched so closely today. They were even more shocked by the breadth and breadth of the teaching gentleman in front of them, how could he know the secretive master of the evil way, and he was not afraid to go toe-to-toe with him. It can be seen that his true identity should be on a par with Yin Xuan. However, the people in the rivers and lakes could not find any impression about him, and they couldn't help but speculate that there were many opinions and felt mysterious and abnormal.

Yue Xiaofeng believes that Mr. Yi will not lose to Yin Xuan, and even hopes that they can have more exciting debates, which is enough for him to understand more. Inadvertently, he glanced at Xuan Yunzhuo again, and the young man with an arrogant expression that looked a little like Mr. Yi was watching thoughtfully and coldly.

Xuan Yunzhuo was glad that Yin Xuan's appearance gave him more opportunities to see Mr. Yi more clearly, but the more he spied on his reality, the more he felt uncertain in his heart.

Master Huikong slowly walked between Mr. Yi and Yin Xuan, glanced at the former with deep meaning, turned to the latter and said, "That's the case, please ask Yin Jushi to ask!" ”

Although Yin Xuan had an expressionless and cold expression, the shock of his identity being exposed made him feel a sense of emptiness. He originally had something important to hover in southern Anhui, temporarily living in the Kunpeng Gang, but he happened to bump into the "Tibetan Monastery" preaching meeting, and came out of curiosity to find out.

Just now he thought that Mr. Yi was just an ordinary person, and he was often proud of his talents, and he couldn't get used to the other party's lofty and arrogant arrogance, so he couldn't help but speak out of anger, originally planning to make the other party retreat with his arrogant "cold spirit", but he didn't expect that not only would his identity be exposed, but the other party was not afraid of his unique knowledge at all. What's even worse is that he has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for many years, but he can't find a person whose skills of good and evil are quite different from his own, and he uses unknown characters.

Yin Xuan is worthy of being a master of the evil sect that crisscrosses the rivers and lakes, so he pretended to ponder for a moment and said: "I have been pondering what Mr. said about the same path. ”

Yin Xuan's tone paused, and he deliberately highlighted the four-character tone of "different paths to the same end" at the end of his words, and continued: "I don't hide it from you, I am a martial artist, and I Guan Mr. Long Xinghu has a long and powerful breath, and he must also be a martial artist. Therefore, if you want to ask for advice with a cheeky face, how to break the 'emptiness and use emptiness' method of 'breaking the void and using emptiness' that is the same way? ”

The provocative question was related to martial arts by the literary theory, and the teacher and the students upstairs were all confused, and they were dumbfounded, not knowing what the so-called "emptiness and infinity" was. They were even more surprised that Mr. Yi in the mouth of this Jianghu figure was actually a martial artist.

Only the people in the southwest seats were completely shocked by Yin Xuan's question, and everyone shook their heads in admiration. Just because none of them know the "Infinite Emptiness", it is the Taoist Sect Chisong Daoist who is known as the "Three Sages of the Sect" with the holy monk Huaixue and the Tibetan master Ubato, and he is the supreme sword skill in the world. Just ask about such a master-level kendo master, it is rare for idle characters to admire it in their lives, let alone crack it.

Master Huikong, who has a pure Zen heart, couldn't help but marvel at Yin Xuan's quick thinking that deliberately made things difficult, and turned his prayer beads in his palms with both hands, and looked at Mr. Yi who was deep in thought with concern.

It was the first time that Yue Xiaofeng had heard of the name of "Infinite Emptiness", and an unfathomable feeling arose spontaneously, and seeing the appearance of everyone downstairs shaking their heads and sighing, his heart was even more curious, and his eyes turned to Mr. Yi, who was contemplating and contemplating, expecting him to explain the mystery.

Xuan Yunzhuo felt more and more wonderful and exciting about the development of things, and watched with great interest Mr. Yi, who had aroused the respect in his heart, because he really couldn't think of how to crack it--the supreme sword technique pioneered by Daoist Sect Chisong Daochang, who was also infinitely admired by his father who was famous in the rivers and lakes--the "Infinite Void Boundless" technique that contained the infinite skill of sword intent with the heart of the void of nature.

Mr. Yi's contemplation is not a sell-off, he has read ancient and modern classics throughout his life, learned the three schools of Taoism, Confucianism, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and has also cultivated martial arts and focused on kendo. Because he disdained the evil methods of coercion in the dark, he spoke out and revealed his identity and intended to teach him a lesson, but he never expected this person's question to be so tricky and difficult to answer.

First of all, the sword skills of the Chisong Dao Chang "Infinite Emptiness" are the best in the world, and no one dares to say anything about cracking it, because the higher the realm of martial arts, what is paid attention to is the difference in the level of personal cultivation, where to get the absurd fallacy of the martial arts "one thing descends one thing, one skill breaks one skill". Moreover, even if you knock on the side and literally say the so-called cracking method, I am afraid that you will not be able to get rid of the suspicion of a castle in the air, and it will be difficult to convince the public.

After pondering repeatedly, Mr. Yi was a little impressed by Yin Xuan, thinking that this person was listed among the "Nine Masters of the Evil Sect", and he was indeed not a person who had lost his name, so he couldn't help but look at Yin Xuan at a glance.

The four eyes met, and in the face of the contempt of the other party's provocative eyes, he replied with his usual indifferent expression, his eyes fell on the sword in Yin Xuan's palm, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and finally after everyone waited for a long time, he spoke:

"First of all, Yi has to admire Brother Yin's extraordinary talent and wisdom - good question!"

"The Tao is a thing, looking up to heaven and earth, and existing in every inch. Zen has a way, and the sword also has a way, but the way is easy to do! If you and I read the scriptures all over the world, we will naturally know the difficulty of Zen practice, and if we concentrate on the way of the sword, we will know the high realm of 'emptiness and infinity'. As we all know, the emphasis on argument and martial arts is on practical cultivation, that is, no matter how much Ren himself lies and perfunctory the so-called cracking method, it is difficult to convince everyone. It's better to play a game of paper with Brother Yin, and see if I can use 'breaking the void and using the void' to crack the 'Void Wuji' in the debate, I don't know what Brother Yin wants? ”

At this time, not only did the seats in the hall have a strong interest in Mr. Yi's "paper talk", but Master Huikong was also very curious, and waited for the following with a smile.

Yin Xuan was even more surprised, and responded: "I want to hear about it!" ”
