Chapter 120: Master

(a)

"I'll take a look. What's wrong with him? The voice of the ancestor with white hair came in from outside. Whether it is the way he walks or the voice he speaks, he is calm and steady.

Wu Shun choked up and said, "Master! Please help the young master! Just before you came over, he was vomiting again. Since returning to the Taoist temple in Qingchuan, he has always felt unbearable pain in his head, nausea and vomiting all day long, water and rice can't touch his teeth, and he can't sleep well all night. If you consume it without eating, drinking, or sleeping like this, how can you stand it, this is almost a handful of bones. ”

Shizu said, "Daoji has already told me. This catastrophe is not easy for him to get through. I hope that my old body can still help him somewhat. Take me to see him. ”

You open your eyes. You see Master Ancestor standing by your bedside. You look at him, and you don't even have the strength to move your lips.

Your lips are pale, your lips are chapped, your eyes are hazy, and your eyes are dull.

You breathe with difficulty, and before the master has sat down, you have a burst of unbearable vomiting.

Wu Shun and the fourth senior brother hurriedly supported you to get up, and the ancestor sat down, watching you vomit violently, you vomited in a cold sweat, and even the green bile vomited out, almost dehydrated and unconscious.

The fourth senior brother sighed and said, "The pressure in his skull is too high, and it oppresses the things in his brain, so he will vomit like this every once in a while." After taking the pill, before it had any effect, it was vomited again. ”

Shizu said, "Don't be nervous. A lot of things, seemingly tricky, have no solution. But if we are willing to accept that this is how things are, that way it develops, and that we are willing to do nothing, perhaps the best solution is to do nothing. ”

Shizu said to you: "Jinglong, Shizu knows that you are very uncomfortable now. But you have to settle down and don't be swept away by that whirlpool. Come on, you try, don't resist pain and nausea, slowly release your fist and relax the muscles in your stomach, can you do it? Just like you would normally practice, exhale slowly, then inhale slowly, relax your whole body, just take care of your breathing, and don't pay attention to pain and nausea. They're just guests in your body and mind, and no matter how noisy they are, they'll always go. As long as their owners don't leave, they will never be able to be masters. Don't worry too much. ”

Shi Zu nodded with satisfaction: "That's right." Child, you understand very quickly. That's it. You did very well. Don't pay attention to the pain, pay attention to the state of your heart. If it's tense and strained, it's time to relax again, continue to relax, and completely relax. Every part of the body and mood should be fully relaxed, the muscles should not be strained, the breath should not be held, and the heart should not be afraid of its arrival, nor should it be expected to leave. If you feel like throwing up, go with it, go for it, and don't force that feeling down. If you can't vomit anything, just follow it, just let it retch, don't think about what you have to vomit, and the vomiting will be calmed. Don't go against it, you can live with it. You can open your mind and body and let all kinds of bad feelings, rise and fade at will, and let them pass you like this. Most of your stamina is depleted because you have to fight pain and nausea. If you think about it, is this the case? ”

Master Ancestor said: "Don't think that good health is normal, now this is abnormal. You have to understand that the way it is now, and it is also normal. Just like waves have peaks and valleys, peaks are normal, troughs are normal, and there is no superiority or inferiority. The state of comfort and the state of discomfort are both normal states of the body. Don't like one normal and resist another. If you can sleep, you can sleep peacefully. If you can't sleep, you can count your breaths with peace of mind. Both are rest. When the heart has no desire or fear, it rests. ”

"It's hard to bear, and it's just as hard to see in your head. Vomiting quickly lowers your physical strength, but it also quickly lowers the pressure in your skull, protects the blood vessels and nerves in your brain, and empties the body of toxins, reducing the nourishment and supply to that lump. This kind of consumption, it's also helping you. You lie quietly in this consumption and can accept this help from it. As you're emaciating, that lump is also emaciating. It emaciates faster than you. ”

Shi Zu said to the fourth senior brother and Wu Shun: "How can you people who take care of him be more nervous than himself. Your disturbances and fuss will have no positive effect on his stability, but will only exacerbate his distractions and unnecessary consumption. In the same way, keep your body and mind still. Don't let him feel uncomfortable and you panic. Have you ever heard of the fact that you can help others not to mess up? ”

The fourth senior brother and Wu Shun looked ashamed and lowered their hands and said yes.

The master looked at the two of them and said, "I'll be here to guard him for a while, so go out and wait for me." ”

(c)

Only Shizu and you are left in the room.

Shizu said: "Jinglong. Can you still see your heart now? Can you still notice that it's messy now? ”

You still don't have the strength to do anything but breathe, but your consciousness is still awake. You listen to every word of your ancestor.

Master Zu said: "Don't let the love in your heart, and the desire to destroy war, make your heart uneasy. ”

Guru said, "If your mind is no longer calm, you will become turbulent and powerless. And when we become chaotic, we lose the power to benefit the love of our hearts, let alone all the people in the world. ”

Shizu said: "Do you believe that with a chaotic heart, you can bring peace to the world? With a heart of contradiction and pain, is it possible to bring a stable and happy future to Qin'er? ”

Shizu said, "Don't think about how long it will be before the end of the world. You have to observe whether your mind is turbulent or stable, chaotic or calm. The end times are not necessarily the time for breathing to be interrupted. The mind is in turmoil, and it is already the beginning of the end. ”

Shizu said: "Do you think that if you can't even move your lips, it is called weakness? ”

Shizu said, "That's not the case. Victory is a strength. And acceptance, is a greater power. Accepting weakness, accepting pain, accepting separation, accepting ambition is not rewarded, accepting oath failure, accepting feelings of powerlessness, accepting sudden blows, all these are strengths. When our bodies are sick, our hearts don't necessarily have to become weak. On the contrary, our hearts can become stronger, more stable, and more powerful through acceptance. ”

Shizu said: "Jinglong, if you love Qin'er deeply, you must be her role model." In the face of pain, in the face of separation, in the face of misfortune, you have to be her example. Only if you can be her role model, will she have inner support, a goal to follow, and finally have her own strength in the long years to come. It's the best gift you can leave her. ”

Shizu said, "Child, will you take care of her and protect her for a long time in this way?" Can you do it? ”

You can't move and answer. But you say in your heart: I can do it.
