Chapter 7 Uninvited Guests
"This Zen meeting has been completed so far!"
"The red dust comes and goes, there is gathering and some dispersing, but it is still between heaven and earth; If there is a way in the heart, the world is tormented in all kinds, but it is just a sewage covering, how to wash away you and I are really like nature! ”
"Poor monk Huikong, on behalf of the 'Great Tibetan Monastery', I would like to thank all the gentlemen present for coming to participate in this Taoist meeting, and I am also extremely grateful to the 'Jiuhua Academy' Guan Lao Master for his kindness and many conveniences!"
"May my Buddha be compassionate to all sentient beings, and bless everyone to let go of attachment as soon as possible and realize enlightenment!"
"Gentlemen, please go back!"
Master Huikong said to give a salute, sat on the lotus mat with his hands on his knees, closed his eyes, and the plucking of the rosary in his palm also stopped suddenly, as if in a state of meditation, and his compassionate face glowed with a smooth and transparent glow under the background of the golden Zen robe, so that everyone unconsciously gave birth to the urge to bow and worship.

After everyone had finished saluting the teacher, the guest of honor once left the main hall of the library. Although the students in the attic pushed me or squeezed me out of the main hall, or stepped down the stairs from the back building, they didn't dare to make extra sounds, for fear of alarming Master Huikong, who had already settled down.
Yue Xiaofeng leaned on the fence of the floor, with some unfinished regrets. Don't look at the crowded stream between the floors, he can't help frowning, he hates this kind of chaotic and blind obedience occasions the most, whenever he is in it, he will have the feeling of drifting with the flow, and the past comes to his heart. Suddenly, the comprehension accumulated from reading history and observing the scriptures in the past was diluted by the deep-rooted contradictions in my heart, and the unspeakable melancholy and uneasiness hovered in my heart and lingered for a long time.
Looking at the crowded flow of people, Yue Xiaofeng was at a loss.
If he just doesn't want to choose to join them in the world, then where should he go?
At this time, he longed to hear the morning bell in the distant mountains again, perhaps he wished to return to a peaceful and peaceful state of mind, or to dissolve into the silence of the empty mountains again, and let the mysterious and mysterious spiritual experience between heaven and earth wash away the cloudy and unknown mind.
Is this an escape?
Yue Xiaofeng asked himself with a wry smile, but was suddenly patted on the shoulder by Li Gui, and then he looked up at it, and the flow of people gradually dispersed. He pretended to pat Li Gui's belly lightly and motioned for him to go first.
Seeing that Li Gui's fat figure was not in the crowd of people urging him to go downstairs, Yue Xiaofeng looked around the attic that had become empty and lonely, and found that there was actually another person like him, who was pacing slowly to the staircase.
Exactly--Xuan Yunzhuo.
Is it the superior family background, the wealth of money, or the superb martial arts passed down from the family that makes him always maintain an arrogant and conceited indifferent face?
Yue Xiaofeng had an indescribable feeling, he thought that Xuan Yunzhuo was not a very powerful man in the eyes of people, and he looked down on people as a son of a family. Because he had sensed a certain déjà vu enthusiasm from Xuan Yunzhuo's casual eyes, which he often found in Mr. Yi's attentive expression.
Yue Xiaofeng followed Xuan Yunzhuo and walked down the stairs, stepping into the main hall of the empty Pavilion, he slowed down his steps, and finally couldn't suppress the curiosity and doubts in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Master Huikong, who was sitting at the head of the East Seat.
Yue Xiaofeng stood on the spot.
Almost at the same time, Xuan Yunzhuo, who was walking in front, also had a sudden thought, stopped and looked back, and couldn't help but be surprised.
It turned out that at this time, more than ten steps away, Master Huikong, who had already sat quietly, opened his eyes, and his eyes of wisdom met the two unexpectedly.
The clear and quiet glow that was not stained with the smoke and dust of the world swept through the depths of the hearts of the two of them with different temperaments and different desires, and in an instant, the feeling of having nowhere to hide and no power to hide anything arose spontaneously in their hearts.
Yue Xiaofeng and Xuan Yunzhuo's consciousness involuntarily cleared and precipitated, and under the guidance of that clear and immeasurable wisdom Buddha light, they fell into a cycle of reincarnation and wandered in the undercurrent of their own undulating hearts.
Any time and space, all the old prejudices, and many subconscious selfish thoughts are thrown away.
In the empty main hall, Yue Xiaofeng and Xuan Yunzhuo, who stood still, and Master Huikong, who meditated in silence, looked at each other with an unusually subtle and subtle connection between their minds and minds.
As if he felt empty, Master Huikong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he slowly closed his eyes again, and his settled body did not move at all, as if he had never made any movement at all, but the green sandalwood rosary in his left palm had begun to squirm and squirm one after another.
As soon as his eyes were empty, Yue Xiaofeng broke away from the edge of the dazed contradiction, felt a heavy and tired palpitation for no reason, bowed and bowed, his heart was so confused that he didn't dare to stay any longer, and passed by Xuan Yunzhuo, who was standing in place, and walked quickly to the door of the hall.
Xuan Yunzhuo was stunned suddenly, it turned out that at the moment when his mind was out of control, the past was full of deep in his heart, and his ignorant one-sided pursuit and yearning were all gone, and his confident and calm heart was in a panic. His cold eyes, which had always been arrogant and untamed, became confused and unruly at this moment.
Xuan Yunzhuo dragged his prostration and weakness in his footsteps, completely forgetting himself, and slowly walked with the pace of Yue Xiaofeng. Just as the two of them stepped out of the threshold of the main hall one after the other, a faint blue glow seemed to pass by.
The moon breeze suddenly froze, and the inexplicable spiritual sense sensed that a nameless qi power had sneaked into the book pavilion under the stimulation of the strong qi that passed away in a flash, and its appearance actually made him shudder.
The extreme strength of the qi was something that Yue Xiaofeng had never seen before, including his mother, Mr. Yi, and even the Huikong Master in the hall, no one could compare to it, because it made Yue Xiaofeng feel frustrated for the first time.
The inexplicable spiritual consciousness that used to test the gods was now powerless to peek into any general situation about it, and could only vaguely perceive its existence. The only few wisps of immersion energy that have been perceived by the spiritual sense, there is no lack of softness in rigidity, and there is no lack of strength in toughness, which seems to completely integrate the characteristics of yin and yang. As a result of its stimulation, the sensing time became much longer than usual.
"Could this be what my mother said, the peerless master who penetrates the two poles of yin and yang with the method of dual cultivation of life?" As soon as he thought of this, Yue Xiaofeng's heart was shocked, and he immediately stopped and turned around, and looked into the hall with bated breath through the gap in the tall and closed hall doors.
Xuan Yunzhuo's mind was in a hurry, and he was in a trance all the way and didn't realize it, when he suddenly saw Yue Xiaofeng turn around and peep into the main hall, thinking about the strange things just now, he was inevitably curious, so he also found a gap and looked inside like him.
Xuan Yunzhuo was shocked on the spot, and gradually regained the ethereal heart of the Sword Realm, not only shocked by the prophetic prescience of this ordinary academy student beside him, but also shocked by the invincible figure who appeared in the hall at this time and stood opposite Master Huikong, with his back to them.
Through the gap in front of the two of them, you can see the back of the person who is ten steps away from Master Huikong, he has black hair and a bun, standing with his hands, and the black jade Ru belt in the bun hangs down to the front, unique and elegant, a cloud cloth green shirt is well-cut, especially lined with the majestic and upright posture, but for some reason, although he does not see his facial features, he seems to take a random step, has given people the momentum of the mountain and the abyss pavilion, and what makes people feel more mysterious is that he is in the hands behind him-
Stick to a white lotus that is pure, pure, noble and elegant!
What does the White Lotus represent? Yue Xiaofeng was at a loss.
Xuan Yunzhuo, who has a prominent family background, has been exposed to it since he was a child, but he clearly knows that it represents a very large dark force in the world - the White Lotus Sect.
The White Lotus Sect is between the good and evil of the rivers and lakes, the organization is complicated, the rules are strict, the martial arts and Taoism are all their own faction, and the sect members are all over the world. I only know that there are the so-called "White Lotus Lord" and "Light and Dark Twin Honors", who act strangely and have extremely high martial arts, and I heard that even the "Holy Mother" and "Evil Emperor" with the highest status of the evil sect will give three points of courtesy when they see it.
"Who could this person be?" Xuan Yun Zhuo was still the first time he had a close encounter with the rumored White Lotus Cultist, and like Yue Xiaofeng, he was shocked by his unpredictable martial arts cultivation.
In the main hall of the Library, Master Huikong, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, looked at each other with kind eyes and wisdom, his face was not wavering, and he said: "Out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons!" I don't know if Lord Xu is here, what do you think? ”
"Lord?" Could it be that he has thoroughly comprehended the path of the Three Qing Cultivation Truths by himself with the resources of Tianzhong, ranking among the seven great master-level masters today, and is the top figure in the list of imperial criticism of the Ming Dynasty, and the most mysterious "White Lotus Lord" Xu Hongru in the rivers and lakes?
Xuan Yunzhuo was shocked.
"White Lotus Venerable Lord" Xu Hongru replied with a chuckle: "As the saying goes, the Tao is not the same, and we are waiting for the left way of the side door and the orthodoxy of the master Zen Gate are incompatible, so how can we talk about teaching?" It's just that the deity passed by here, coinciding with the long-rumored 'Zen Meeting', and couldn't hold back my curiosity and wanted to see the master's demeanor! ”
I only listened to Xu Hongru's words and spoke decently, the timbre was soft and rich, the voice was not hyperactive, not heavy, not hurried, not slow, and melodious rhythm, there was a kind of affinity that confuses people's hearts: "Suwen Zen people have always taken it as their responsibility to solve doubts and purify sentient beings. The deity has always had some questions, and I can't figure it out, can the unknown master explain one or two? ”
Master Huikong said: "The White Lotus doctrine originates from the Buddhist scriptures and Taoist scriptures, although it is inevitable to take the meaning out of context to generalize, but it is not all without merit. If you think about it, if even the lord finds it difficult to be confused, it must be very difficult. The lord might as well come and listen, the poor monk does his best. ”
It was the first time that Yue Xiaofeng had heard of the name of "White Lotus Sect", but after listening to the meaning of Master Huikong's words and thinking back on ancient and modern history, he estimated that this teaching should be similar to the "Maitreya Mahayana Sect" in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and it was an evil way to deceive the people with ulterior motives. He couldn't help but wonder what kind of mystery was hidden in the fact that two people, who were both opposing sides in theory and politics because of their completely different views and positions, seemed to be engaged in a game of defense.
Xuan Yunzhuo understood that this defense was very similar to the Taoist secret "sword talk" competition, fighting each other with the mental mechanism of each other's half-life, which was a battle of mental willpower. Although he couldn't see the White Lotus Venerable Lord's face, Xuan Yunzhuo could still sense from the divine light in the eyes of Master Huikong that he had not fluctuated in the slightest, and there must have been a subtle and unique sympathy between the two of them, just like the subtle and unique sympathy formed between the three of them.
Similar to this kind of cultivation, in the evil way is called "soul dementoring magic", and Buddhism and Taoism are called "clear heart Dafa" and "imperial heart mystic" respectively, the body is different, the situation is the same, all are martial arts cultivation to achieve the realm of divine consciousness of the master can master the superior martial arts.
"White Lotus Venerable Lord" Xu Hongru pondered for a moment and asked: "The Buddhist scriptures have clouds, the sea of suffering is boundless, and the back is the shore." What does that mean? Please explain to the master! ”
Master Huikong calmly replied:
"Rolling red dust, drunk and golden, in the end it is just a glimpse of the illusion; All living beings, birth, old age, sickness and death, do not know all kinds of helplessness, just because everything they ask for is suffering! ”
"The heart desires, the desire does. Therefore, the sea of desire is the sea of suffering. And to seek the infinite desires of life with the limited time of life, ignorance and unawareness, that is, boundless! ”
"Falling into the sea of suffering, the heart is aware, and the way back is to turn back. Abandon evil and promote good, remove the false and keep the true, and see the nature clearly, this is the shore! ”
Yue Xiaofeng was deeply impressed by it, and secretly thought: "For the master's complete Zen wisdom, whether it is the Mahayana scriptures or the witty words, it is irrefutable, I don't know how this lord should refute?" ”
Xu Hongru snorted coldly and said, "What a good one is suffering for everything, and he is ...... to see his nature."
"Only by holding the Tao indifferently can we have a clear heart, and if we have no desire, we can be rigid and see the true nature."
"However, the ancients said that the trees wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop! Today, the great traitors, corrupt officials and corrupt officials live in the temples and halls, and the thieves and bandits of the side doors are far away from the rivers and lakes, not to mention the frequent violations of the Manchurian Tatars who have been in trouble outside the border for many years! ”
But what will bear the consequences of all this is the millions of innocent people who have already suffered from the flood of natural disasters. What do those people who can't afford to eat on weekdays want? Even if they are willing to turn back, where is the shore? ”
"Sad and resentful, crippled and dead, how can you talk about your heart? What about sex? ”
On the contrary, the Buddha, who vows to be high in the world of all beings, explains the cycle of cause and effect of the three lifetimes of samsara to those who worship three times and nine times and burn incense and beg for piety and blindness. Could it be that the so-called cause and effect is to persecute the debts of the past life and repay them in this life, and they are bandits and thieves in order to fight for food and clothing? Won't their debts in this world affect the life to come? ”
Isn't it ridiculous that such a paradoxical and unrealistic Buddhist Zen machine is not true? And the so-called Pudu sentient beings advertised by the master are not the life adjustment of those idlers who have no worries about food and clothing? ”
Looking at Xu Hongru, the sharp-tongued, sneering and mocking "White Lotus Venerable Lord" in the hall, Yue Xiaofeng and Xuan Yunzhuo were shocked by his remarks. Especially Yue Xiaofeng, who likes to learn Zen Buddhism, is shocked in his heart, and it is self-evident that he is shocked.
It is undeniable that the impassioned words of this White Lotus Venerable Lord do reveal the contradictory negative side of Buddhism and Zen theory, no matter how it is extremely exhaustive, the mystical truth of heaven and earth, and the origin of the Tao and the heart, it is still only a kind of negative and escapist thought.
Just like the hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period, whether they are chosen or abandoned by history, the world is still the world, the weak and the strong eat the king and defeat the king, fame and fortune disputes and wars, when will it stop and disappear?
Thought and reality, escape and reason, after all, contradictions coexist, and this has been the case for thousands of years......
