Chapter 66: On the Word

Mingyue's heart was shocked, where the Tao is, although tens of millions of people are still there? This is what Mencius said, and he, an old monk who looks like a native of the Western Regions, actually knows the meaning of this sentence?

"You're trying to persuade me not to be obsessed with how my loved ones died, but to calmly consider whether I can do something about how lucky I survived, right?"

"The little benefactor really has wise roots."

"Hehe, you don't know how much hatred I have in my heart, even if I am covered by anger and resentment, who can say anything about me?"

"The wisdom of the little benefactor is not like that of a little boy who is only 5 or 6 years old".

Mingyue has long known that the secrets of her body have been known by this old monk, but what does it matter now, what is her current self, the old monk also regards himself as a stunted child at most.

"My mother died as soon as I was born, and then my father was also poisoned, and then the relatives who raised me were also killed by the Hu people, and now even my only relative, Aunt Hong, has also died, how can I live as a child? Don't you think it's ridiculous to talk about what to do? ”

"Amitabha, the little benefactor will be blessed after several great hardships and not dying."

"Old monk, you're not from the Central Plains, are you?"

"I'm a Turtle Man."

"Ah, isn't that Buddha Tucheng who became a monk in Wuchang at the age of 9 and went to Zongbin twice to study the Fa in the North Tianzhu Realm, now in Kashmir!"

Buddha Tucheng never thought that the little child he saved would actually know him, he had read countless people, and he never remembered such a pink-carved child, so he looked at me with wide eyes and surprise.

Mingyue felt a little proud in her heart, but she diluted a little of the grief of Aunt Hong's death, sometimes, this brain of her really has a clear memory of historical figures, but it is also strange recently, as long as she thinks about some historical information, she will have a headache, and it is getting worse and worse, but in any case, I am really grateful to the sleeping other self!

Mingyue's tone also became respectful, for such a monk who has a strong stroke in "The Biography of a High Monk", Mingyue is really respectful.

"Master, I've been calling you an old monk before, I'm really embarrassed."

"The old monk is very good".

Hehe, hearing the old monk say this, Mingyue really likes this old man more and more, very, very freely.

"Don't you ask me why I know your name and origin?"

"The little donor has deep wisdom roots, and there are some things that should naturally be known."

Mingyue looked at the old monk with a calm expression, and she really couldn't guess whether he was curious or not wondering why she knew where he came from. I had to continue: "My name is Xiaocao, because I have not been in good health since I was a child, so I have been raised as a girl, and adults hope that I can grow up safely."

"Little benefactor, telling lies is going to hell with tongue pulling!"

"Old monk, do you have to say everything? Do you know that people have privacy? ”

"Monks can't listen to lies, they can't speak lies!"

Mingyue was a little helpless, yes, she wanted to hide her identity, so that she could not only feel safe, but also be at will. However, facing the old monk in front of him, who is his savior, what kind of greed will an 80-year-old man have for himself according to historical calculations? And I don't want to lie to him a little bit......

The old monk was still seated, and didn't look at Mingyue again, the old monk closed his eyes and said softly: "Xiaocao, it should be your nickname, well, also, don't tell the old man your true identity now, the old man also wants to be safe."

Mingyue was angry for a while, this old monk was so interesting!

Time passed little by little, because in the tunnel, I didn't know what was going on outside, so I could only wait quietly.

In this way, I don't know how many days have passed, I have to rely on the little food that the old monk carries with him to survive, and the old monk will keep the little food left for himself even if he doesn't eat it......

Mingyue is still inconvenient to walk now, although there is a famous old monk who re-grafted my bones, and the injury recovered quickly, but after all, the conditions are limited and it is impossible to get the best care, so it is impossible to heal immediately.

Mingyue leaned quietly against the wall of the tunnel, thinking about her thoughts. Suddenly, I heard the old monk say: "Xiaocao, your voice is a girl's voice, and your body is a boy's, did you have been drugged to practice prostitution when you were a child?" ”

Mingyue heard the old monk say this, a spirit, is there a way to cure it? Mingyue immediately replied: "Yes, does the monk have a way to cure me?" ”

"No, I have carefully examined your meridians, because the medicine has been given since birth, and the medicinal power is very yin and poisonous, which has melted into the meridians with your growth, and will affect your physique and even body structure throughout your life, and cannot be cured."

Although Mingyue knew in her heart that this might still be the result, she was still a little disappointed after hearing the old monk's answer.

The past, the experience, Mingyue and the other self are all experienced together, especially through this catastrophe, Mingyue and the other self actually have the phenomenon of soul fusion, although it can't completely make the other self disappear, but all the feelings, knowledge, mentality, and character of the other self are inherited and fused by the newborn self, so even the newborn Mingyue doesn't care too much about the strangeness of his body, but who doesn't want to be a normal person? It's just that because of her young age, the newborn Mingyue doesn't know how much trouble her physical abnormality will bring to her in the future......

Mingyue said lightly: "Monk, I don't hate the person who poisoned me, and I don't blame you for not being able to heal it, do you believe it or not?" ”

"Don't blame me, I can't cure any disease, I don't hate people who are poisoned, I can't understand, have you seen the world at a young age? When you grow up, you want to marry and have children, and if your body is not well adjusted, it will be difficult for you to have children."

"I know, but I really don't hate anyone, and I'm very satisfied to survive."

Although Buddha Tucheng is a high-ranking monk, after all, it is impossible for him to remember his past life and present life, but Mingyue still retains the memory of his previous life, and many things Mingyue may be more open than he sees......

Buddha Tucheng looked at Mingyue in surprise, he could see that this child did not panic, but really looked very lightly......

"Monk, don't be surprised, there are many things in the world that don't make sense, don't you say?"

Buddha Tucheng nodded, and said in his heart: "The people of Middle-earth say that the attainer comes first, which has nothing to do with the age of the person.

Seeing that Buddha Tucheng seemed to agree with his point of view, and this person was indeed very free and easy, never thinking about things he couldn't understand, but Mingyue was still very curious to know what to say about people's past and present lives in Buddhism, so Mingyue pondered a question and asked: "Monk, you said that people are born, old, sick and die, so will there really be a past life and this life?" ”

"Zoom in, there is! Look smaller, no! ”

"How?"

"The Buddha said that after countless eons, that is, countless lifetimes, but we didn't see it, but we can't prove that there is none, so I said that there is, if I am small, I only know what I want to pursue in this life, and if I die, there will be nothing."

"Didn't you say that there is hell and bliss, and that there are countless lifetimes?"

"I didn't know until I died, but I don't know now."

Mingyue was really speechless for a while, what this old monk said was really zen.

"Then why do you say that God or your Buddha wants you and me to go through so many tribulations? There are so many people in the world, why are they you and me? ”

"Fate".

Mingyue smiled helplessly, this is a proposition that can't be said clearly, and Mingyue doesn't like to play any tricks, but in such an tunnel, if you don't speak, you will really suffocate. Mingyue had to look for a lot of things about Buddhism in her mind, and wanted to test this old monk, and suddenly Mingyue searched for a poem in her memory, and immediately said: "Bodhi is not a tree, and the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where is the dust?" ”

The old monk was suddenly shocked, such an incisive and concise thinking shocked him! But before he could reminisce about playing this poem by the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism in his descendants, Mingyue continued: "This is idealistic, materialistic: the body is a Bodhi tree, and the heart is the mirror platform." Always wipe diligently, don't make dust (from the poem in the game Xuanyuan Sword).

The old monk looked at me with wide eyes and muttered, "Materialism, idealism??? ”

"To put it simply, there is a flagpole, and suddenly the wind blows and the flag flutters, so is it the wind or the flag moving?"

The old monk thought for a long time and blurted out: "It's heartbeat!" ”

Mingyue was surprised that the content of this famous story of the Sixth Ancestor Huineng, the old monk turned out to be exactly the same as Huineng thought. It seems that the "Geyi" Buddhism that is now popular really has a very great influence on people's thinking.

Mingyue slowly shook her head and said: "The wind has indeed moved, but you can't see it, and the flag has also moved, but you don't want to say that it is blown by the invisible wind."

The old monk was obviously caught in thought, these words were very common for Mingyue to say, but for a person like him who had been well versed in Buddhism all his life, these words were tantamount to opening a door for him that he had never thought about, how could he not fall into contemplation, this theory seemed simple, but basically subverted the foundation of all his knowledge, how could he accept it? But he couldn't refute Mingyue's logic, which made him extremely painful.

After a long time, the old monk slowly exhaled a breath and said slowly: "The wind moves, the flag moves, and the heart moves, so all things in the world will show a variety of postures due to different environments."

Mingyue was also surprised that this old monk could be so flexible, you must know that if some people's ideas are broken, they will either become demented, or become crazy, and even want to destroy the ideas that he can't overthrow, in order to achieve the goal of self-deception, but Buddha Tucheng didn't, he not only accepted, but also formed a fusion with his own knowledge, and then immediately had his own new understanding, not simple, you must know that this idea comes from the Tang Dynasty's six ancestors Huineng Master, because Mingyue's intervention, will it bring a little difference to Buddhism? Mingyue didn't know, Mingyue hadn't thought about it so much at this time.

Mingyue learned enough to look like an adult, shook her head and said: "You can teach, then you said that you are sitting cross-legged and not moving now, and if I keep walking around in front of you, relative to me, have you moved?" ”

This is the famous "theory of relativity" in later generations, and Mingyue really doesn't believe that this old monk can figure it out.

The old monk did fall into deep thinking again, and said in his heart: Yes, I did sit and didn't move, but he was on my left before, and now he has walked to my right, relative to him, my position has changed or even moved, so I moved, this, this, what kind of logic is this? But it makes sense......"

Mingyue continued: "Then if you and I walk in the same direction at the same speed, can it be said that you and I have not moved? ”

The old monk blurted out: "Yes, we haven't moved, but ......"

"But we've come a long way, haven't we?"

"Hmmm......"

"I call this the theory of relativity, because there is no way to prove that an object is absolutely at rest. So there is no such thing as an absolutely stationary object. Rest is simply an object that keeps its position unchanged with respect to another reference around it, so it can only be relative motion and relative rest, motion and rest are relative. To determine whether an object is at rest or in motion, it is necessary to choose the appropriate reference. Depending on the reference object chosen, the object will be in different states of motion".

"References?"

"Well, it's the reference, I'm talking about it today, I'm really sleepy......"

After talking for so long, and not having eaten enough, Mingyue was really going to sleep, and as she spoke, Mingyue fell asleep......

Buddha Tucheng looked at Mingyue sleeping soundly, and was still thinking about the "theory of relativity" that Mingyue said, this child really had a relationship with the Buddha......

Buddha Tucheng faintly felt sad for Mingyue's life experience, although Mingyue didn't say it, he also guessed that although his body looked haggard because of various experiences, he was pampered since he was a child, and his temperament was different, he was almost certain that Mingyue's origin was extraordinary.

Buddha Tucheng shook his head, and said in his heart: Buddha, you must bless this child to grow up safely, maybe this child is really different and can take on great responsibilities!
