Chapter 170: Days in the Mountains (Part II)
"This ......" Daoist Tianlu didn't expect the monk to be able to play blind chess, and he had never tried it, so he couldn't help but feel a little at a loss.
The empathetic Hui Neng sent some broken branches and pebbles in time. The dark dead branches and the crystal quartz stone have a unique charm compared to the artificially polished black and white chess pieces.
The square chessboard is large, and the black and white colors are thunderous.
Daoist Tianlu gently pinched a white child and pointed it on the small eye (in ancient times, Go was the first to practice white). As a result, the white chess of the Taoist leader slammed into the ground, and the monk's black son took the external momentum.
Daoist Tianlu looked at the real space that he was far ahead, and his smug expression was overflowing: "Ancient national hand cloud: fat edges are easy to obtain, but thin belly is hard to find." Monk, it seems that you don't know how to do this! ”
The monk refused to give in, and forced him to say, "Let's say, how is this the way?" ”
Tianlu Daoist knew that he was also talking about Zen when he said chess, so he also used chess to say: "The small tip guards the corner, even three widening sides, and all the way to each other, that is, this way." Just like my Taoist refining the form and returning to the qi, refining the qi and returning to the gods, and taking the pill externally, you can lose weight and be healthy and immortal. ”
Tianlu Dao has long silver hair fluttering, like an immortal.
The fat monk smiled and said, "Water is impermanent, and soldiers are impermanent; There is no rule in chess, and there is no law of impermanence. Dao Chief, you only know how to survive behind closed doors, and you can't take the opportunity to rush through the level, and then there will be tribulations. ”
Sure enough, the monk's black momentum began to exert force, forcing the white chess players to hurry, but fortunately, the Tianlu Daoist gave in in time and finally made two eyes. The monk teased him, "You are guarding a zombie, how does it feel?" ”
Tianlu Dao let out a long breath and said, "With these two breaths, it's like refining the elixir of immortality in my dantian, how can I do it?" ”
The monk shouted: "Even if you go through 80,000 tribulations, you will eventually die!" ”
Daoist Tianlu and Hui Neng, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, both trembled unconsciously.
Yes, the transcendence of the mind is far more important than the immortality of the body. People, if you can't comprehend the true meaning of life in the universe, let you soar through the clouds and mist, call the wind and rain, but you are just a walking corpse!
The thin rain fills the space outside; The silence condensed the world in the cave.
Daoist Tianlu looked at the intertwined and orderly black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, and suddenly had an understanding, and said: "Taiji gives birth to two instruments, heaven and earth are divided, yin and yang exist, black and white stand, and the avenue is fixed." Monk, do you think so? ”
The fat monk mixed up the black and white chess pieces on the chess pieces, pointed his finger at a piece of chaos and asked: "Hugh said Tai Chi, Mo Ti Immortal, heaven and earth Yin and Yang don't ask for the time being, and when the Tao is black and white, where does this fall on?" ”
One sentence made Tianlu Dao Chang dumbfounded, and Hui Neng was so shocked that he was sweating profusely and soaking through the clothes on his body......
After a long time, the fat monk saw that the two of them were speechless, swept down the full plate of chess pieces with his hand, and said: "There have been fifteen roads, but there are a few more people!" ”
After saying that, he didn't care how the two of them were in a daze and stunned, and walked into a rain curtain alone and disappeared into the vastness.
And when the road is black and white, where does this fall on?
The mysterious monk came and went without a trace, and even the Taoist of Tianlu had been closed for many days, but Huineng still had this huge question mark in his heart. Yes, the nineteen routes on the chessboard are clear and clear, never mixed, never disordered, and people are confused and confused.
On this day, the stone dog and the shrimp followed Huineng up the mountain to collect firewood.
In the process of collecting firewood, Huineng encountered a firewood that grew in the crevices of the rocks, full of knots, scars, and tree tumors.
Since ancient times, woodcutters have deliberately avoided knotted scars, and deliberately found smooth places on the body of trees to cut down with axes. Because, in everyone's concept, there is no point in the coarseness of the knots, and the wood is hard, so it is naturally not easy to cut off. And this firewood, up and down, is either a knot, or a scar, and there is no suitable place to put the axe.
Perhaps, because of this, over the years, I don't know how many woodcutters have passed by it, and no one has ever raised an axe against it.
Black and white are not distinguished, and don't ask, the mountain firewood is full of knots, where did your axe fall?
Huineng is almost caused by inertia, subconsciously and unconsciously asking himself.
A good tree will not grow nodules for no reason no matter what. The reason why it has to grow ugly knots is because it has been injured by external forces, and the trunk has become fragile and easy to break, and it has to produce additional nodulous scars to wrap the injured area and enhance its ability to resist wind......
Thinking of this, Huineng's heart suddenly became clear: only places that are easy to break need to be protected. That is to say, the trees are long because they are easy to break! In other words, the knots, which seem to be thick and the wood is hard, are the easiest places to break.
Without hesitation, Huineng raised his axe and slashed at Knotscar......
Sure enough, the bark of the trees around them was cut off, and a dead nodule was stuck obliquely in the scarred trunk. Huineng gently folded, and the entire trunk was broken.
When black and white are not divided, where does it land?
From fifteen roads, there are a few more people who are confused!
Although Huineng's size is shorter than that of stone dogs and shrimps, his body is also thinner. However, he picks up much more firewood from the firewood market in Xinzhou every day than stone dogs and shrimps.
The stone dog and the shrimp were born five big and three thick, with big shoulders and round waists, and strong bodies, so they naturally refused to accept it. So, they secretly clashed with Hui Neng.
Early in the morning, before it was dark, the stone dog and the shrimp came to the mountain first. Halfway through, even though they were tired and about to fall apart, they didn't dare to slack off. However, at the end of the day, they still didn't cut as much firewood as Huineng.
They thought that Huineng's strength was far less than theirs, and the time it took to chop firewood was not as long as theirs, and he used an ordinary axe, which was not a more magical and sharp tool, and the reason why he cut more firewood than them was that he was opportunistic, and he felled some of the softest woodwood, while they generally cut hard wood, so it was more laborious and time-consuming. However, they quietly checked the opposite result. Huineng's bundles of firewood are the best and hardest firewood inside and out, unlike them, which have a layer of hard wood on the outside and half-rotten wood on the inside. Over the years, customers have been competing and rushing to buy Huineng's firewood, which also shows that the firewood he harvests is more vigorous and more resistant to burning.
They couldn't figure it out. It's weird, he's here! Could it be that Hui Neng has the help of immortals?
Huineng's immortal is himself - a person who understands the magic of the mind and grasps the laws of nature, who is more magical than the gods, but more ordinary than ordinary people.
While others chop wood, they always cut hard towards one place, while Huineng cuts around; Others always try their best to avoid the knotted place to fall the axe, but Huineng focuses on the knotted place. Where the trunk has no knots, the wood is softer, and they have great strength, so that every axe can cut deep into the wood; However, it is precisely because of this that their axes are always stuck, and they often use more force and effort to pull out the axe outward than to cut down. Although knotted places mean that the wood is hard, the harder the place, the less the axe will get stuck, and the harder the place, the more brittle the wood will be, and the easier it will be to break.
Truth is so ordinary.
Because it is too ordinary, so, despite Huineng's repeated explanations, the stone dog and shrimp are more and more reluctant to believe it.
Alas, people's thinking is often trapped in the strange circle of inertia and refuses to extricate itself.
