Chapter 4 Secrets of Zen Buddhism
"Old monk, why are you here?" Seeing that Xuyun, who had always been in retreat and penance in Feiming Temple, suddenly appeared in the dustless hermitage, he couldn't help but feel very strange, and then found that Yan Hongyuan, Fei Lieyang, and Ling Ruoyan were staring at him without blinking, and couldn't help but feel even more weird, "Hey, where are these three sacred, why are they staring at me like a daughter-in-law?"
Xuyun shouted with a straight face: "Little monkey, why do you always talk like this, are you itching again?"
Bu Se has been very loved by him since he was a child, where will he take his warning seriously at this time, scratched his bald head, and said with a smile: "Yes, I really miss your old man's bamboo plank, hehe......"
"Do you still dare to be poor?" Xuyun seemed to be very angry, and his old face was flat, "Okay, it seems that if I don't teach you a lesson, you are really lawless." He suddenly stretched out his hand, grabbed the colorless ear, turned around and instructed Wuxian to say: "Senior nephew, you first take Yan Daoyou and his party to the guest room to rest, and then I will come to tell you the old days after I have taught this little monkey a lesson." After speaking, he didn't wait for Wuxian to agree, and Yan Hongyuan said a confession, and walked straight to the meditation room behind the main hall with his colorless ears like a prisoner.
"Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi, your old man, do you light, don't you do it? If you tear it down, I'll let your old man take it off...... Ouch! You're so light, why are you getting heavier and heavier......"
The lustful begging for mercy did not have any effect, and the old monk who had always been very good at speaking in his memory seemed to have hit an evil today, no matter how he pleaded, he just refused to let go, and it seemed that he had to teach him a good lesson before he would give up.
"Hey, old monk, if you don't let go, I'm going to scold!" Seeing that begging for mercy is useless, and that he has been accustomed to urinating and Xuyun since he was a child, he finally became mad, his eyes widened, and he scolded with cracked teeth: "Okay, you can pull it, you can pull it hard! If you have the ability, you can tear my ears off! Hmph, if I really become deaf, then I will see how you will compensate me for my losses? You have to find out that I am not a Buddhist, and if you still treat me like before, it will be a violation of human rights, and I can sue ......you at any time."
"Oh, I almost forgot, the donor has now left the Buddha Gate and is the Lord of the Witch Gate. Hearing this, Xuyun stood still, let go of his colorless ears, and said with a serious palm: "The old monk was offended a lot just now, and I hope that the master of the door will not blame him." ”
Bu Se waved his hand, and said very generously: "No, no, I won't meet you in general, after all, we are also people with status now, haha......"
"Smack!" Just as he was laughing happily, Xuyun suddenly raised his hand and slapped him hard, slapping the Venus in front of his eyes, and his ears buzzed.
"Little monkey, do you have the ability to try to score again?" Xuyun laughed pleasantly, looking very easy-going, but the words he could say made Bu Se depressed: "Do you think that Xuefeng will drive you out of the mountain gate, and I won't care about you, and you can be lawless?" Hmph, don't say that you are only the master of the Wumen, even if you become the master of the world, the old monk and I still want to beat and scold! ”
Whoever wants to be stupid enough to do something with you, then he must be impatient! Knowing that Xuyun cultivation is not colorful, he rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said with a grumbling heart: "Don't play, don't play! Old monk, you're too boring, every time I mess with you, I always suffer in the end, what's the point of playing like this? You won't let me go once or twice......
Xuyun laughed and said, "You are now the master of the Witch Sect, do you still need someone to let you?"
"Don't mention it!" Bu Se waved his hand and said stupidly: "What kind of bullshit master, that's all done by Yi Tian, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
"Oh? So, Yi Tian is Yi Tian, you are you?"
"Of course! He and I are two people. Bu Se patted his bald head, and said in distress: "I really don't understand what is going on, there are two personalities in one body at the same time, and each has its own thoughts and opinions." Alas, I'm annoyed by the mention of this, and I don't even know what to do now. That Yi Tian is too evil, and his cultivation and knowledge are much stronger than mine, if this continues, I think this body will be completely occupied by him sooner or later, and I am afraid that there will be no shame in the world. ”
Xuyun suddenly withdrew his smile and said seriously: "No, do you really think that Yi Tian and you are two completely unrelated people? If you really think so, then you are very wrong." ”
Bu Se was very surprised, "Uncle Shi, where do you start with this?"
Xuyun glanced at him with pity, and said lightly: "The realm is created by the heart, and the demon is born from the heart." After speaking, he sighed lightly, shook his head and walked into the meditation room behind him.
"Hey, you've got to make it clear. Seeing him turn around and leave, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and hurriedly chased after him.
"Uncle Shi, what did you mean by what you said just now? Is it okay for your old man to explain it to me? According to your meaning, is it because of myself that Yi Tian's appearance?"
But Xuyun ignored his questioning at all, just took care of himself and closed his eyes to recuperate, and he was used to laughing with him since he was a child, at this time, seeing that he was only half of what he said, he couldn't help but be even more anxious, where would he care about anything, immediately squatted down, grabbed Xuyun's shoulder and shook violently, "Old monk, old ancestor, you old man is good, explain to me what you just said clearly, okay......?" Okay, I beg you, as long as you explain this matter to me clearly, I will promise you one condition. ”
Xuyun slowly opened his eyes, as if talking to himself, and said as if questioning: "A gentleman's word." ”
"It's hard to chase a horse!" blurted out without thinking about it.
"Good!" Xuyun suddenly laughed again, his face full of triumphant joy.
Bu Se saw that his heart jumped, he slapped his forehead suddenly, and said with regret: "Okay, you old monk, since you took advantage of my confusion to set me up, you, you are obviously going to be blackmailed!" It was only then that he came to his senses that he had fallen into the trap of the void clouds again, but now that the words had been spoken, it was too late to regret it.
"Old monk, you are really disrespectful to the old man, and you still calculate me like this. "The more I think about it, the more depressed I feel, based on past experience, the conditions that Xuyun is going to put forward next will definitely not be a good thing. Since he was a child, similar situations have happened to him many times, and as a result, every time he was forced to agree to the old monk's conditions, he had to pay the corresponding price afterwards. To this day, he still clearly remembers that the last time he was forced to sign an alliance under the city, he helped the old monk pour a commode for a month, serving as a free laborer.
"Isn't it just a small condition, why do you want to do this?" Xuyun smiled and patted Bu Shi's shoulder, as if kindly comforting: "Don't worry, my old man won't ask for it indiscriminately, this time it's the same, this matter must be within your reach." Hehe, no matter what, I am also your uncle and ancestor, and I will never harm you, right?"
"Say, what do you want me to do this time?" Bu Se glared at Xuyun and said in a buzzing voice: "You won't let me help you pour a month's potty and wash your clothes for three months, right?"
"Of course not. Xuyun smiled and shook his head, "I'll talk about this later, but now I'll solve your problem first." ”
Nodding sullenly, he motioned for Xuyun to continue.
Xu Yun first looked at him deeply, and then said unhurriedly: "Yes, in just a few months, you have already cultivated the Distraction Technique to the second realm. ”
"Do you also know the distraction technique?" As soon as the words came out, he immediately secretly scolded himself for being stupid, Xuyun was the only remaining great virtue of Zen Buddhism, and even the master and Xuefeng knew something, how could he not know it? Thinking of this, he quickly asked: "Senior Uncle Ancestor, what is the matter with that distraction technique? Why did I split into another personality after practicing it?"
"I know that as soon as you see me, you will definitely ask about it. Xuyun looked at him strangely, and said without hurry: "The distraction method was created by my Zen master more than 1,000 years ago, and its method is extremely mysterious, with the power of seizing heaven and earth, but unfortunately, due to the occurrence of some accidents, it was listed as a forbidden law by my Zen Buddhism, interrupting the inheritance of the legal system. If it weren't for your appearance, I'm afraid this method would never have reappeared in the world. ”
"How can this be?" Bu Se was surprised, and blurted out: "Since it is a supreme magic method, how can it be banned?"
"It's a long story. Xuyun sighed lightly, and said the ins and outs of the distraction with great emotion.
It turned out that more than 1,000 years ago, the monk of Feiming Temple --- fate, because he knew that there was no hope of becoming a Buddha in the world, so he deliberately created the distraction formula, and he got in touch with his subconscious through the distraction formula, so as to obtain the consciousness of the body (that is, the yang god that the cultivators said) in a short period of time. The mind birth body that a Buddha practitioner obtains through the practice of distraction can not only allow the reincarnated self to retain the memories and cultivation of his past lives, but can even reshape his true body.
When Master Yuan created the distraction formula, he was already old and decrepit, but later he insisted on passing this distraction formula, and changed his life and reshaped his true body, such as becoming a Buddha after the merit was completed. The wonder of distraction can be seen from this.
Before becoming a Buddha, he passed on the Dharma to his younger brother Lifan, hoping that Lifan could be like himself, and he could reshape his true body by will, so as to attain Buddhahood in the world.
It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and after many twists and turns, he has the opportunity to practice the distraction technique with peace of mind. At that time, the distraction trick of Lifan had not yet been completed, and the conditions for reshaping his true body were insufficient, so he had to choose to be reincarnated, so he was born in the family of the master of the Wumen Gate and became the young master of the Wumen.
More than ten years later, the reincarnated young master of the Wumen once again used the distraction technique to cultivate the consciousness of the body, but soon after, he was unfortunately injured by the evil master with a secret technique, and lost the memory of his previous life, which led to his later madness when practicing the distraction technique, resulting in a great change in his personality, tyrannical abnormality, and began to gradually fall into the demon path.
After the great change in his personality, he was like two people before, not only did his compassion plummet, but he also developed the vice of using violent means to resolve disputes at every turn, and finally he actually stood up for his lover, the princess of the Demon Gate, Qing'er, and did not hesitate to be the enemy of the righteous path of the world, and killed many times, causing countless killings.
At that time, Mingyue, the head of Ning Xindao, the number one master of the younger generation of Taoism, was really blind to Fan's evil deeds, so he resolutely stepped forward and fought with him. After three days and three nights of vicious fighting, the two sides lost and lost, but they still couldn't help each other. In the end, in order to completely destroy Fan who was about to become a demon, Mingyue actually risked her life and used the last attack method of the cultivator - the Yuan Shen attack, and fought a duel with Fan.
However, at the moment when the two sides came into contact, Lifan suddenly recovered his memory of his previous life as if he woke up from a dream, and understood his own situation, not only that, but he also saw his experience many lives ago, and was shocked to find that the bright moon in front of him was his wife many years ago. At the same time, through the exchange of the original gods, Mingyue also realized that the "big devil" in front of her was actually her loving husband in her previous life, and she couldn't help but feel very angry.
Just when the two of them were frightened and inexplicable, and wanted to stop the dispute, the evil master who had sneak attacked Fan suddenly appeared, and once again took a despicable and shameless sneak attack, seriously injuring the two of them, and then used evil magic to chase and kill the two, wanting to get rid of them as soon as possible.
The cultivation of the evil master was originally extremely good, and it was slightly inferior to Fan on weekdays, and at this time, Fan and Mingyue were injured in a sneak attack after three days and three nights of vicious fighting, and then they were injured by a sneak attack, naturally not his opponent, as soon as the two sides fought, Fan was slapped hard in the chest by the evil master, although he was not killed on the spot, but he was also beaten to death, and there was no strength left to fight, and Mingyue was also injured by the evil art, and the situation was precarious.
At this time, the evil master was extremely proud when he saw this, and immediately performed his evil skills again, wanting to destroy the two of them. At the critical moment, fortunately, the old sect master of Wumen and the current host of Feiming Temple arrived in time and scared away the evil master, and the two escaped and avoided the doom of destroying both form and spirit.
However, although the two escaped for the time being, the damage they suffered was still not shallow, and after this battle, Lifan was too injured in the flesh, and died in a few days without rejuvenation. And Mingyue, who was seriously injured, was also transferred by the old sect master of Wumen to the realm of Wumen Zhibao Tai Illusory with the help of the unique wonderful spiritual power of the Tai Illusory Realm, and he never knew what to do.
"Is this the end?" Bu Se looked at Xuyun blankly, "What you said seems to have nothing to do with the fact that the distraction technique is listed as a forbidden law, right?"
"Who said it doesn't matter?" Xuyun glared dissatisfied, "Do you know why Fan's personality changed drastically after he was reincarnated? ”
"What? Fan is also a split personality!" he jumped up in shock.
"Exactly. Xuyun nodded solemnly, waved his hand to signal him to be calm, and then said: "The reincarnated young master of the Witch Sect, when he remembered the events of his previous life, he realized that he had a split personality, and it was his split and tyrannical personality that caused countless killings without him realizing it, causing him to break with the righteous path and almost fall into the demon path. It was only then that he realized that all this happened because of distraction. This is because Master Liyuan once said when teaching the Dharma that when cultivating the distraction technique, there must not be any accidents, otherwise it is very likely to lead to abnormal changes in the mind body, causing the practitioner's personality to split, which will lead to a catastrophe. ”
The more he listened, the more shocked he became, and he said: "What do you mean is that Yi Tian is also transformed from my Mind Body, and my future situation is very likely to be the same as that of the young master of the Witch Sect, maybe one day I will be completely sealed by the split personality?"
Xuyun was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "It's hard to say now, although what you said may come true, but there is another possibility. ”
"What is possible?"
"Fusion. ”
"Fusion?"
"Yes. Xuyun nodded vigorously, "As long as you can become one with that split personality, things will take a turn for the better, and not only will you not have to worry about sealing, but your cultivation will also improve greatly." ”
"Well, that's better, or I'll be miserable. Bu Se patted his chest, this is a sigh of relief, what he is most afraid of is being completely sealed by Yi Tian, and now that he hears that there is a way to avoid this happening, it is naturally a lot easier.
"Don't get complacent too soon, things are not as easy as you think. Xuyun shook his head and said without worry: "According to the instructions left by Master Yuan, to merge with the split personality, this process is extremely difficult, and if you are not careful, you will lose all your efforts, and it is very likely that you will be completely sealed by the split personality, and there will be no future from now on." ”
"Ahh
"Do you think fusion is as simple as dressing and eating?" Xuyun glanced at him angrily, and the boss said unhappily: "If fusion was so easy, Master Fan would not have been trapped for thousands of years, and he still can't be freed." ”
"Huh, what do you mean by that?" Bu Se listened to his heart tightened, and asked hurriedly, "Could it be that Master Fan is still alive and has not completely merged with his split personality?"
Xuyun shook his head and said: "No, Master Fan's situation is extremely special, and now whether he can successfully merge with that split personality is just afraid that it will have to fall on you." ”
"Wouldn't it?" shouted without fussing: "Can he successfully fuse, why is he involved with me again?"
Xuyun looked at him strangely for a while, and said lightly: "Because Master Fan is residing in your body. ”
"What did you say?" Bu Sezhi was dumbfounded, and then roared excitedly, "Old monk, don't joke with me! Isn't Master Fan reincarnated? Why did he live in my body again?"
