"Leave?" Jiang Yi was taken aback, but then he also calmed down, Jiang Laodao has been here for a long time, and it is time for Gao to leave, but before this, he has some thoughts in his heart. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Yes, I still have a lot of things to do, and I can't stay here forever." Jiang Laodao said slowly, without the slightest evasion.

"Do you have a problem?" As a human spirit, Jiang Lao Dao, when he saw the look of the children of the family, he knew what he was thinking.

"Remember the guy who wanted my life?" Jiang Yi said directly, if you don't borrow the east wind, what's the difference between you and a fool?

Hearing this, Jiang Laodao's face bloomed with a smile, and after a while, he said, "Just him?" Give him ten dares! If we dare to shamelessly attack the children of our Jiang family, then our Jiang family will not care about face and immediately take action against this half-cut dead ghost. ”

"That's the best!" Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, no one wanted to be remembered by a monk with a high realm, from the last incident, he knew that the bull demon general must be ordered by the blood fountain to deal with those women who stayed in the Fengming Cave.

It's just that he can't understand why this is the case, and he faintly feels in his heart that the bull demon general is actually coming for him and the land, or to be precise, those treasures that were divided between the two of them, burning fairy grass, black jade grass, five-colored flowers and other valuable things.

"Boy, I originally wanted to take you out of here directly, but you have lived there for so long, it seems that you are reluctant to give up the old man of the land and the little willow tree who is not doing his job, and you are a man under the command of Heaven, so stay here first, because everyone has their own growth trajectory, if you forcibly interfere and take you away, I don't know if it is good or bad?" Jiang Laodao said his previous thoughts, and he agreed with this kid who had not been together for a long time.

"Thank you Zhengxin for your guidance these days, which has taught me a lot and will never be forgotten." Jiang Yi said gratefully again.

Jiang Laodao waved his hand and said with a smile: "If one day you soar, then I will also benefit, we sincerely help others, maybe also help ourselves, this is one of the most beautiful compensation in life." Besides, the cultivators of my generation must remember to be chivalrous and righteous, and not to fall into the devil's path. ”

"Remember the teachings of Master Zhengxin, if I encounter something rebellious in the future, I will not sit idly by, and I will never be willing to fall." Jiang Yi replied respectfully, knowing that being a man must have compassion, and doing good deeds is actually accumulating functions for himself.

Sincerity is meritorious, goodness is virtue, and merit is merit! Buddhist religion often says that merit can break life and death, can achieve nirvana, and can save sentient beings, this kind of mysterious and mysterious thing, Jiang Yi does not believe very much, merit is not necessarily useful for cultivation.

However, the most classic sentence in Buddhism----- there is a cause, there must be an effect, and he still agrees with this in his heart.

Jiang Laodao was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked, "Jiang Yi, why are you practicing?" ”

After Jiang Yi heard this, he frowned, his mind was very flexible, he thought about a lot of things in an instant, and thousands of reasons for cultivation appeared in his mind.

"Am I curious? You can fly to the sky, walk in the void, and even move mountains and reclaim the sea! ”

"I yearn for the world of cultivating immortals, where I can live an unrestrained life?"

"Or maybe it's immortality? I don't seem to be thinking so far for the time being, could it be that I am simply interested in cultivation? ”

There are many complicated thoughts in my mind, and the question is always echoing: 'What is practice?' There are so many things that I can't figure out, and no matter which one seems to be a viable reason.

Looking at Jiang Yi's sometimes frowning and sometimes contemplative expression, Jiang Laodao knew that he was complicated and difficult to distinguish for a while, and he had never thought about why he wanted to practice and what he was practicing for.

Jiang Laodao showed a look of memory on his face, and said to Jiang Yi: "This is the question that my master tested me before I started, why do you cultivate?" This question may seem simple to some people, and complicated to others, but the answer to it represents a grand wish for your spiritual life. ”

This is also a test of state of mind, and each person's purpose and reason for practicing are different, and even each monk has many thoughts. With the improvement of cultivation, if you do not have a clear purpose for your cultivation, you will become at a loss and unable to find a direction, because there is a realm behind you that needs to wake up to yourself, if you can't cut off these selfish desires, every selfish desire will turn into obsessions, and every obsession is a fetter to your future practice, and even turn into inner demons, and even in the midst of a tribulation, it may threaten the life of the monk. ”

"Then Master Zhengxin, what was your original answer?" Jiang Yi asked, curious to know the answer.

"My original answer was immortality, don't you think it's a very vulgar answer?" Jiang Laodao smiled knowingly, remembering his ignorance.

After a pause, Jiang Laodao sighed and continued: "However, this goal is out of reach for me, and now it seems that the original ambition is just a joke, cultivation is not easy, and the avenue is ruthless!" ”

"Huh?" Jiang Yi suddenly frowned, hesitated for a while, stared at Jiang Laodao and asked, "Isn't Master Zhengxin an immortal?" Already an immortal? ”

"No, immortality is immortality, immortality is not old, these two words cannot be confused, let me tell you one sentence, immortal is not the end of the Tao, but the beginning of the Tao!" Jiang Laodao's eyes showed embarrassment, thinking of the road he had traveled over the years, and there was a look of frustration on his face, with a hint of depression in it.

"So?" Jiang Laodao's words subverted the cognition in Jiang Yi's heart, immortals are not the end of the Dao, but the beginning of the Dao? Somewhat esoteric.

Seeing Jiang Laodao's expression, Jiang Yi was touched, and the feeling he gave him before was either mysterious and unpredictable, or he looked shrewd like a fox, and when he saw Jiang Laodao's lost expression for the first time, he remembered a sentence and said: "There is a saying in our hometown, if you live a hundred years old, you are lazy and not diligent, it is better to live for a day, work hard, Jiang Laodao, you are in love." ”

Jiang Laodao woke up, yes, if you don't work hard to practice, how can you be depressed! So he turned back into an old fox, shook his head with a smile and said: "It's really me who is obsessed, I am still known as the dust-whisking Taoist, and I didn't keep my original intention, although cultivation is such a difficult cultivation process, but the matter has come to this point, no matter how difficult it is, I have to go on." ”

"The body is like a Bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror, always wipe diligently, don't make dust. We practitioners are like the Bodhi tree of wisdom, and our minds are like a bright mirror. It is necessary to constantly and diligently brush it at all times, so that it does not be obscured by the dirt of the world and the wisdom and enlightenment of the monks. Jiang Yi thought of this sentence in his mind and blurted it out.

But after listening to this exhortation to the Buddha in his hometown, Jiang Laodao's face changed greatly, his body felt a coldness, and his eyes looking at Jiang Yi also had some strange meanings.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Laodao asked Jiang Yi with a solemn expression, "Jiang Yi, where did you know this sentence?" ”

"What?" Jiang Yi's heart moved, isn't this sentence exclusive there, how can there be this sentence here?

"I saw it by accident." He replied truthfully that this was indeed what he had seen on the Internet before.

But this answer made Jiang Laodao's face change slightly, and he said a little uncertainly: "Are you from Mount Meru?" ”

"What Mount Meru? Of course I'm not, does the old Taoist look at me like a monk? Jiang Yi asked puzzledly, why did he suddenly say that I am from Mount Meru.

After receiving the disciple's affirmative answer, Jiang Laodao was obviously relieved in his heart, and said, "Fortunately, you ....... not!" After saying this, he shook his head.

"Jiang Laodao, why do you say this?" Jiang Yi asked puzzledly, is Mount Meru so terrifying?

"The body is like a Bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror, always wipe diligently, don't make dust. This is the motto of the Demon Buddha, and this is a taboo in the far west, and the two sects have been fighting for a long time, hey, let's not continue this topic. ”

"Two? There is no tree in Bodhi, and the mirror is not a platform, and there is nothing in the first place, where is the dust. What about this sentence? Jiang Yi was very interested when he heard this, and then said another verse.

Jiang Laodao's face was stunned for a moment, and he frowned and replied: "This is the words of the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism, boy, this is their own business of Buddhism, let's not say anything more, the cause and effect of Buddhism cannot be contaminated, especially the people of Mount Meru!" ”

What kind of Buddhist cause and effect, Jiang Yi doesn't care so much, curiosity has overcome everything, and he can't suppress it. Because everything in the fairy realm is mysterious, full of unknowns, which makes people want to explore to the end and understand everything in it.

However, Jiang Laodao said nothing, waved his sleeves, walked towards the temple, and said, "Think about it, what is the purpose of cultivation?" (To be continued.) )
