Chapter 265: The Wealth and Land of the Dharma
Time passes without stopping, and the events of that day are in the past tense. Chen Kai has also completely let go, he didn't think much about it, every day is still the rhythm of campus life, attending classes during the day, practicing at night, chatting with Li Jingyue at home, and occasionally being intimate and crooked.
Some of the students in the class may have heard about the incident at the school gate that day, after all, so many people were present at that time, and there were many people who knew Chen Kai.
However, no one would be so unblind, and their low emotional intelligence was enough to ask Chen Kai about what happened that day. Although in fact, everyone is very curious about what happened that day, especially about Chen Kai's skills, especially in terms of force.
It's just that after all, the events of that day were too sensitive to Chen Kai, and it was inconvenient for others to mention them. I had to suppress that curiosity in my heart, of course, those who knew about that incident basically knew how powerful Chen Kai's kung fu was.
This also made some students in the class occasionally look at Chen Kai with a faint look of strangeness and curiosity in their eyes. For other students, it seems that Chen Kai's 'sense of aura' is getting stronger and stronger.
Study well, in the college entrance examination, even the top student in the college entrance examination in the entire H province, he is also very handsome, although his personality is a little bland, but he is quite sunny. Now even the force value is so amazing...... This is simply what was often said in ancient times, 'both civil and military'!
In the class, and even in other professional classes, there are many girls who know Chen Kai's situation and admire Chen Kai, and even many girls boldly take the initiative to show their love to Chen Kai.
It's a pity that Chen Kai already has a genuine girlfriend Li Jingyue, so he naturally refuses to love those girls.
Fortunately, Chen Kai has always been low-key, and he rarely participates in any campus activities on weekdays, he goes to class every day, and then the accommodation is outside, and he is basically not in the school if he does not attend classes.
After a while, gradually fewer people were curious about him. Some of the effects are also fading away.
But since that day, Yang Luyun would occasionally call Chen Kai and chat with him. Before I knew it, more than a month had passed.
In April, the weather is much warmer, the grass grows and the warblers fly, and the campus is full of greenery.
Occasionally, when the sun is shining, I walk on campus with Li Jingyue, walking along the road of willows hanging down the shore by the lake, and my mood is extraordinarily relaxed. Sit on the green grass and bask in the sun quietly. Leaning on each other's backs, or sitting or lying side by side...... It's all fun. Even if he doesn't speak, he is in a very good mood.
"I really want to live this kind of leisurely life like this all the time, without too many miscellaneous things, and relax. When the sun is shining, isn't it much better to go out for a walk and bask in the sun than to live a busy life? ”
Chen Kai lay on the grass with his eyes closed and said softly.
By Chen Kai's side. Li Jingyue also pillowed her arms and looked up at the blue sky, and many white clouds. Hearing Chen Kai's words, Li Jingyue also let out a soft 'um' sound and blinked her eyes slightly. Still looking at the blue sky and white clouds, he said softly: "I also like this kind of life." Sometimes when I think about how busy my parents are at work every day, I actually think it's quite boring. Sometimes even if you think about it, you don't know what you're living for. ”
"If I had to be like this in the future. Every morning, I wake up and go to work after breakfast. Then when I came back from a day's work, it was already evening, and I had to cook and eat by myself while I was tired. Then I guess I'll have to rest after sitting for a while......"
"Day after day, I repeat these days. It's boring to think about. ”
"Hmm." Chen Kai's eyes were always closed, not opened, as if he was enjoying the warm sunshine shining on his body, as well as the slight breeze, and said lightly: "Actually, our character is indeed quite suitable for cultivation." There is no pursuit of the world, and the attitude towards life is also plain and leisurely, which is in line with the 'natural' of cultivating truth in a way. Don't be demanding, follow the trend. ”
Speaking of cultivation, Li Jingyue suddenly turned her head to look at Chen Kai's side face and asked, "Chen Kai, you said, if we can really cultivate to the 'Jindan Stage', or even a higher cultivation realm, wouldn't we have hundreds of years, or even thousands of years of life, by then?" ”
"But in that case, what about our parents and family? It's not about watching them grow old and then ......"
Li Jingyue stopped talking, looking at Chen Kai's eyes with a faint hint of sentimentality.
This is a question that every cultivator needs to face. For cultivators, the lives of ordinary people are too short. However, no matter what, people are not stones after all, they still have feelings.
Chen Kai opened his eyes, sighed slightly, and said, "I don't know either." Master told me that this is the first level in the true sense of the word on the path of cultivating truth -- 'forgetting love'! ”
"Master said that some people really forget their feelings when they cultivate. And then gradually he cultivated himself into a madman, or ...... A stone. ”
Li Jingyue couldn't help but shudder when she heard Chen Kai mention this for the first time. Somehow, a sad feeling rose in her heart, as if she imagined that at some point in the future, her parents would be old and gray-haired, and finally leave her. Her relatives and friends are also gradually aging, and they have slowly finished this life.
She is the only one who has never changed in this world. However, there are no acquaintances around him, just living lonely and lonely......
The imagination for a moment made Li Jingyue shudder a little. For the first time, I felt that life was too long, and it was likely to become a kind of sadness.
Xu felt the ups and downs of Li Jingyue's mood, Chen Kai couldn't help but turn his head sideways, looked at Li Jingyue, stretched out his hand to hug her, and said: "This is the first level of cultivation, and it is also the easiest level to give birth to 'heart demons'." There can be no fear, you can only face it calmly, and no one can change the natural law of birth, old age, sickness and death. ”
"My master said that even if you cultivate to become an immortal, there will be a day when the immortal yuan will be exhausted, and it will eventually be extinguished. It's just that, compared to ordinary people, cultivators and immortals have a longer lifespan. ”
That's why there is a saying about the four elements of practice. Dharma's wealth and land, without any of these things, there will be problems. ”
"The Fa is the path of cultivation, the way to the other side, the boat to cross the river. If there is no 'law', there is no way to get started, and there is nothing to cross the river, which is equivalent to being completely blind, and no matter how hard you try, you can't reach the 'other side' out of thin air. ”
"A couple is a partner. Walking alone is destined to not last long. The path of cultivation is very long, so long that there is almost no end in sight, and if you don't have a partner to support you, the end result is to become a madman and a stone. ”
"Wealth is the capital of cultivation. It not only includes all kinds of resources needed for cultivation, such as spirit stones, heavenly and earthly treasures, refining materials, etc., but also contains one's own inherent talents. If you are not talented, you must change your life, otherwise you will definitely not be able to achieve extremely high achievements. ”
"As for the final place, it's very simple, it's the place of cultivation. If you are in a place where there is absolutely no possibility of cultivation, then no matter how high your talent, no matter how subtle and magical your exercises are, no matter how good your companions are, you will not be able to succeed in cultivation......
This is the first time that Chen Kai has explained to Li Jingyue in such detail the most basic things of cultivation, which are actually the most essential and fundamental things.
The reason why I haven't said it before is because the time has not yet come. Li Jingyue still has a certain understanding. And now, it's already time, and the feeling in Li Jingyue's heart just now has allowed her to understand these things very deeply.
These things are simple to say, and they don't have any direct help for cultivation. However, this is the most basic, as if a general direction is guiding the way forward in the dark, as long as you understand this general direction, no matter how you go, even if you take a detour, but after all, you will not go in the opposite direction.
At this time, Chen Kai continued: "When Master told me this, he just said that I should slowly understand the joys, sorrows, births, old age, sickness and death in the red dust of this world. Only with a complete life experience can we have a complete state of mind. ”
"We all need to learn to face the future. Either way, at least, I'll be on the same path as you. ”
Chen Kai stared into Li Jingyue's eyes and said slowly.
"Hmm!" Li Jingyue nodded vigorously, looked at Chen Kai, couldn't help but lean sideways, put her hand on Chen Kai's chest, and then closed her eyes.
At this moment, it was Chen Kai's turn to look up at the blue sky. The figure of the master could not help but appear in front of him again, and some of the words that the master had said to him sounded in his mind.
If you don't want to forget your feelings, cultivate yourself into a stone. Then, you must find spiritual sustenance for yourself, and find a Taoist companion who can support you to move forward and cross all the way to the other side.
A person's world is lonely, and whether you want it or not, you will turn into a stone......
Chen Kai didn't understand a lot of what Master had said. But now he gradually has a little understanding of some of the teachings.
Cultivation is not only about exercises, cultivation, and external objects, but also about the perception of life, the heavens, the earth and the universe, and one's own state of mind.
The things he has experienced have gradually increased, and Chen Kai's state of mind has been constantly sharpened to become more mellow......
What he said to Li Jingyue also made Chen Kai feel more deeply. He has been through a lot of things in the past year. Including the death of the master, the love with Li Jingyue, and the very good friendship with Wang Xuedong and several other roommates...... There is also an understanding of his father's life experience, entanglements with the Song family, and so on.
These experiences have made Chen Kai's state of mind gradually grow and transform.
Thinking back to what had happened in the past nearly a year, Chen Kai thought of what Master had said in his heart.
The world is a big dye vat, but also a furnace, without the baptism and tempering of the world, how can we really be 'born'? Only after 'accession' can there be 'birth'. (To be continued......)
