Chapter 5 Cocooning and Binding Yourself

"What are you shouting about, will my old man still lie to you?" Xuyun glared at him fiercely, and said expressionlessly: "Do you think that the reincarnated young master of the Wumen Sect will be reincarnated again after being killed in that battle? That is just your own wishful thinking, my old man has never said this." ”

The more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he hurriedly asked, "Then what happened to him? He wouldn't have been wandering around the world for thousands of years in the form of a bardo body (the soul referred to by Buddhism) after his death?"

"You're half right. Xuyun replied lightly: "After his reincarnation and death, he has indeed been wandering in the human world, but the form of his existence is no longer a bardo body, but a mental body, strictly speaking, it is not even an intentional body, so it is impossible for him to be reincarnated again." ”

"God, what the hell is going on?" Since ancient times, ordinary people have generally only had a bardo body after death, and after the death of a cultivator, they exist in the form of a mental body. These two forms, no matter which one they are, can be reincarnated, but what's wrong with it?

"You don't have to think about it, in fact, the reason why Master Fan can't be reincarnated is very simple. As the saying goes, there are no absolutes in the world, there are advantages and disadvantages, he will encounter this situation, and it is because he has cultivated the distraction technique that this kind of strange thing will happen. ”

Xuyun let out a soft sigh and said with emotion, " After the death of the young master of the witch sect he reincarnated, he wanted to reshape his true body by will, but at the critical juncture of his practice, when the real body was about to be formed, the tyrannical personality split out of his body suddenly competed with him for the dominance of the new body, and after a fight, no one on either side could help anyone, but it led to the failure of reshaping the real body, and the original intentional body became a mutant that was both like energy and matter, and finally led to not only being unable to reshape the true body, but also being reincarnated. ”

"Then what will happen to him in the future? Also, how did he get into my body?" The more he listened, the more frightened he became, according to this, if Yi Tian was also the same as the personality that had split out, and fought with himself for the dominance of the body, then I was afraid that something would be wrong.

"Didn't you just say that? What will happen to Master Fan in the future will have to fall on you. Xuyun looked at Bu with a solemn expression, and patiently explained: "Master Fan's mind body can no longer be reincarnated because of the mutation, but as long as he can completely merge with the split personality, he can still reshape his true body again." However, since the failure to reshape the true body, his split personality wants to take away the body in order to borrow the rebirth, after the master Fan failed to dissuade him in many ways, in order to prevent him from recreating and killing, he resolutely turned all the cultivation of his previous life into the colorful Buddha light and trapped him to death. And this predicament has been more than a thousand years in the blink of an eye, and for more than a thousand years, Master Fan and his split personality have always remained in the world in that special state, resulting in no way to merge, let alone reshape the true body. ”

"Alas, Master Fan's experience is indeed regrettable, but what does this have to do with me? ”

"No! you have the power to help him. To be exact, the only one in this world who can help him and has the obligation to help him is only you. ”

"Oh?" Bu Se was surprised, and looked at Xuyun with inquiring eyes.

Xuyun smiled strangely and said, "Do you remember when you passed the crazy level at the beginning, and you almost went mad? At that time, there was no one to protect the Dharma by your side, if it weren't for Master Fan's intentional body to enter your body in time and help you channel your out-of-control qi, you little monkey would have been doomed long ago." Do you know that Master Fan tried his best to save you, and now that he is in trouble, you should do your best for him. ”

As soon as he was reminded, he immediately recalled that when he passed the crazy level, he did have some symptoms of going mad, and it was only then that he realized that he had gone mad at the beginning, but then he was miraculously safe, and he was actually rescued by Master Fan.

"I see, speaking of which, I really have to thank him for his old man. ”

Xuyun nodded with great satisfaction, and said with deep agreement: "Karma reincarnation, retribution is not happy, since you owe someone else's favor, of course you should pay him back." ”

"That's not right. Bu Se suddenly slapped his thigh violently, and said with a suspicious face: "Since Master Fan was present at that time, then why did he let me destroy the cave?

Xuyun shook his head and said lightly: "There is nothing to be heartbroken, everything has a way, like a dream bubble, no matter how precious those things are, they are only promising things, sooner or later there will always be a day of destruction, why are you so persistent? Therefore, even if the cave is destroyed by you, it is not a big deal. ”

"It is worthy of being a master and an uncle, I always look at problems so comprehensively, and my disciple has been taught again today. He smiled and slapped his ass, then changed the conversation and asked the question he had been concerned about for a long time, "Uncle Shi, just now you said that the poem in the cave has not been copied, what is going on?"

"What you can't see, how do you ask others to copy it?"

"Oh, can't anyone else see that proverb except me? If that's the case, then how would my master and the others know that the strange proverb on the wall is a distraction?"

"You have a lot of questions. Xuyun glared helplessly, "It's one thing to know that there is that proverb on the cave wall, and it's another thing to not be able to see it." As far as I know, that poem has long been banned, and generally speaking, under normal circumstances, ordinary people would not see it. ”

Bu Se was stunned for a moment, and muttered: "This is strange, no one else can see it, how can I just see it?" Although Xuyun's answer was the same as his original conjecture, it made him even more strange.

"Hey, it seems that you are consumed with me, if you don't understand the doubts in your heart, will you be willing today?"

"The disciple didn't dare. Seeing that Xuyun's tone was a little impulsive, he hurriedly smiled with a smile, "Uncle Shi, don't misunderstand your old man! I really can't understand it, so I asked your old man for advice, hehe, who asked Uncle Shi to learn from the ancients and make meritorious contributions? If I don't ask you for advice, who will I ask? Your old man can do well, just tell me everything." ”

Xuyun ignored Ru Color's praise and begging, and after glancing at him, his old face suddenly sank, and he said impatiently: "It's a pity, I don't know very much about the question you asked, if you really want to know, you should go and ask Master Fan." ”

Bu Se said with a bitter face: "Uncle Shi, don't be joking, if I can get in touch with Master Fan, where will I come to trouble your old man." Besides, Master Fan shouldn't be able to contact me now, otherwise your old man wouldn't be able to talk to me personally about his affairs. ”

"Hehe, you're so smart, you even guessed this. Yes, yes, it seems that after you entered the WTO, you are indeed much more mature than before. Xuyun nodded approvingly, and said: "Master Fan is indeed unable to contact you now, this is because he has already cultivated his whole body into a seven-colored Buddha light, and in this way, while trapping that split personality, he also blocked his own contact with the outside, with your current cultivation, it is indeed impossible to sense his existence, let alone get in touch with him." ”

"Sure enough, it was exactly what I thought. Bu Se nodded and said with a lot of emotion: "Master Fan is indeed compassionate, but in this way, he is cocooned and bound, and the problem has still not been completely solved, and it is not a long-term solution to go on like this." ”

"Cocooning? Well, you're a very interesting word. ”

"Really?" he shook his head noncommittally, and said with some feeling: "Actually, not only is Master Fan cocooning himself, but I am not the one? I don't know when I will be able to break free from the shackles and be liberated." ”

"Hey, you can have this insight? Yes, yes!" Xuyun nodded approvingly, and said slowly: "Since the beginning of time, most people in the world have been cocooned and bound in various situations, and almost all of them are looking for troubles, but those who can really see through the world and realize the truth are rare and rare. The fact that you can have this insight today shows that your wisdom is not shallow, and all these years of cultivation have not been in vain. ”

"Don't laugh at me, you old man, I've been expelled from the mountain gate now, where can I still be qualified to practice lightly. ”

When it comes to practice, it is very embarrassing, since he went down the mountain, in addition to killing, the precepts of Buddhism have been violated by him, and he knows very well that with what he has done, he is no longer worthy of being called a disciple of Buddhism.

"You're wrong!" Xuyun shook his head vigorously, as if he could see through his thoughts, and said solemnly: "Cultivation is important in cultivating the mind, and the so-called becoming a monk at home is just an appearance. If you continue to be obsessed with it like this, not only will you not be able to attain results, but it will also affect your integration with that split personality, and then you will only follow in the footsteps of the mortal masters. ”

Bu Se was stunned when he heard this, and when he thought of Master Fan's current situation, he felt a little terrifying. He knew very well that with his own heart, he would never be able to endure the terrifying life of people who were not like people, ghosts who were not like ghosts, and who were almost cut off from the outside world.
