After another ten steps, Liu Xiu stopped, turned around, put his hands behind his back, and quietly looked at the Tianwang Palace, the two tiger warriors pulled out the ring knife and protected it in front of him, and the two protected behind him, Xu Yu took a deep breath, took a step forward, turned around and shouted at the roof of the Tianwang Palace: "He Fang Jiฤn disciple, don't show up yet!" โ
A clear voice sounded: "General Wenwei seems to be out of frivolity, but in fact he is abnormal, and when I see it today, it is really the same." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝU๏ฝEใ ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ-
Liu Xiu's eyes tightened, how could this person be so clear to him? He coughed lightly and laughed: "I don't know who Your Excellency is, you know so well?" โ
"Yes, I know you far more than you know about me." A white figure walked over from behind a thick pillar under the corridor of the Heavenly King Hall with light steps, his clothes fluttering, silently landed, his demeanor was calm, smiling, but without a trace of smoke and dust, in an instant, this White Horse Temple became a little quieter, and a few murderous tigers in front of Liu Xiu were suddenly a little overwhelmed, just like a few laymen suddenly broke into the living room where Yashi was meditating, not knowing whether they should advance or retreat.
Liu Xiu's eyesight was outstanding, and he had already seen the man's face clearly when he spoke, and he was stunned for a moment: "We...... Ever seen it? โ
The man stood three steps away, and smiled a little curiously: "There shouldn't be." Why, do you know me? โ
Liu Xiu looked at it seriously, shook his head, and smiled: "No." It was me who was dazzled for a moment. Misread. "The man was white-faced and beardless, and according to the aesthetics of this era, he should not be a man, at least not a complete man, but it seems wrong to say that he is a eunuch, because he is still three steps away, and there is a faint fragrance wafting from his body, which is light and fresh, and is probably a kind of plant sachet. But it's not any kind of incense that Liu Xiu has ever seen.
Han people like to use incense, whether it is a man or a woman, they like to bring a sachet, and people with conditions should also light incense in the living room. Clothes should also be incense, so dignitaries and nobles will always smell fragrant when they get together, Liu Xiu is not used to this, but he can not bring incense himself, but he can't let others bring incense. The eldest princess likes to bring incense very much, even when the economic situation is not good, there are always sachets around her, Wang Chu is no exception, and Fengxue is very obsessed with incense, and she also specially bought a lot of incense from the Western Regions.
So Liu Xiu is no stranger to all kinds of incense. After he cultivated Taoism, his five senses surpassed ordinary people, and his ability to distinguish incense was even higher. However, he couldn't guess what kind of fragrance this person's body was, if it was barely compared, it was somewhat similar to the body fragrance he smelled when he first met Wang Chu.
But although this person's face is delicate, he doesn't have the feeling of a girl, and Liu Xiu can't even tell whether he is a man or a woman.
"Dare to ask, hiding here late at night, what advice do you have?"
The man chuckled lightly and looked at the tiger warriors who were tense but a little distracted. Gently waved his sleeve: "Such a good night, why bother these rough people here." If General Wei doesn't think I'm rude, I'm willing to talk to General Wei about the knowledge in Master Zhi's unfinished "Tao Xing Prajna Sutra", and if General Wei is really interested in what the Buddha realized under the Bodhi tree, and not just wants to try Master Zhi's Zen mind. โ
Liu Xiu was stunned. He looked at the man again. Although Buddhism has been introduced to China for a hundred years, it has begun to be introduced to Theravada Buddhism. Most of them are about meditation, he just talked with Master Zhi for a night, knowing that this "Tao Xing Prajna Sutra" belongs to the knowledge of Mahayana Buddhism, more philosophical xing, if Hinayana Buddhism is more about art, then Mahayana Buddhism is more important is the Tao, as for what the Buddha realized under the Bodhi tree, that is, many real monks who have practiced Buddhism for many years may not be able to say clearly, such a person in front of him who looks at most thirty years old, and is not a disciple of Buddhism at all can explain clearly?
"Foot...... Are you a disciple of Buddhism? Bhikshu or bhikshuni? โ
"General Wei, don't guess, I'm not a disciple of Buddhism." The man smiled slightly, and naturally avoided Liu Xiu's other inquiries about him, he turned around and opened his arms, allowing Liu Xiu to see his side: "General Wei can tell if I am a man or a woman?" โ
Liu Xiu still shook his head. This person's waist is very thin, but the chest is not prominent, and he still can't tell whether it is a man or a woman, even if he was born with a flat chest, but the skeleton and body shape of this man and woman are still very different, but in this person, I can't see it. If you have to say it, Liu Xiu would rather believe that he is a woman without breasts.
"The Tao does not distinguish between men and women, and when the Buddha refused to accept female disciples, he had already fallen to the lower level. However, he still has a certain truth, women cultivate the Tao, it is easy to get started but it is difficult to achieve it, and it is not easy to peek through the avenue. โ
Liu Xiu waved his hand and motioned for Xu Yu and the others to disperse. Xu Yu hesitated a little, he took two steps back, leaned into Liu Xiu's ear and whispered: "General, this person is extraordinary, hiding behind the pillar without revealing a flaw, if he didn't deliberately reveal his secrets, I'm afraid that all of us will be hidden by him." โ
"I know, but, because of his skill, you can use it around here." Liu Xiu secretly smiled bitterly: "I don't think he has any malicious intentions, you just need to be careful on the side." โ
Xu Yu frowned, and had to admit that Liu Xiu had a point, just because this person was standing behind the pillar in white clothes, and had successively concealed Wang Yue and masters like him, it was enough to see how wonderful this person's skills were. He took the tiger warriors back a few steps, but ordered the tiger warriors to pull their crossbows and be ready to strike at any time.
The man saw Xu Yu's nervousness in his eyes, and he didn't speak, just smiled, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "This man has such a heavy killing intent." โ
Liu Xiu smiled: "That's because of the suddenness of his feet, he can't help but be unscrupulous." As soon as the words came out, he suddenly felt a little strange, and suddenly stopped, this person said killing intent rather than murderous aura, these two words look similar, but Liu Xiu knows that there is actually a big difference between them.
"Hehehe......" The man chuckled, and his laughter was clearer, like a light tap on a sword, and a little uncertain. General Wei is not strange. Why do I say killing intent? And not murderous? โ
Liu Xiu nodded: "I was about to ask for advice." โ
"The first step in Taoist cultivation is to refine jing, refine jing and transform qi, and maintain the profit and Baotai, which can be described as a foundation building achievement. However, although the qi is purer than jingjing, it is still a real thing after all, and it is much worse than refining the qi and transforming the meaning. If the mind is condensed, then the person is there, and if the mind is scattered, then the person is there. It is like all things, and people do not notice them. โ
"So, you've already reached the step of refining qi and transforming your intentions?" Liu Xiu wanted to laugh, but felt a little unable to laugh, although this person did not show any hostility, but he clearly felt an indescribable pressure, that was a kind of pressure to see a stronger existence, a kind of natural tension between the inferior and the incumbent, he didn't like this feeling very much, but he did feel that this person's realm was not comparable to him.
"I think. General Wei had already experienced it just now. The man waved his hand, and the feeling of pressure suddenly disappeared, and Liu Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "Now I answer the question you asked Master Zhi earlier, what did the Buddha realize under the Bodhi tree." I'll start by stating that I'm just guessing, because I'm still far from that. โ
Liu Xiu furrowed his brows, but did not speak.
"To refine the gods and transform the mind is to refine the mind and reverse the void, and to dissolve all the thoughts in order to see the origin of the Tao. The Buddha realized. Nature is the Tao. โ
"What did the Buddha realize is the Tao?" Liu Xiu couldn't help but ask, and suddenly wanted to laugh, the Buddha realized the Tao, could it be that the Buddha was really transformed by Lao Tzu's westward journey?
"Yes, in the words of the Central Plains Daomen. It's the Tao, in the words of the Buddha. It is to see xing with a clear heart. The man raised his head, looked at the quiet night sky, and said with a hint of yearning in his tone: "Lao Tzu said, the Tao can be the way, not the constant way, the name can be named, not the constant name." Nothing, the beginning of heaven and earth, there is, the mother of all things. This Tao is the origin of all things in heaven and earth, and the Buddha said that the four are empty, doesn't that mean nothing? Lao Tzu said, so there is no more, to see its wonder, the Buddha said, if you see me with sรจ, ask me with a voice, it is all evil way, all the way to do is illusory, such as chasing the wind and catching shadows, you can't get it. There is only the way to do nothing, clear your mind and calm your mind, give up your self from others, and see you on the road. Does General Wei think so? โ
Liu Xiu touched his nose, he practiced this spitting technique well, and this Mozi Five Elements Technique was also good, but if he wanted to talk about these mysterious things, he would be completely blind. He smiled: "The foot Dao technique is so wonderful, I can only guess, how can I know?" โ
"Really? However, I listened to General Wei and Master Zhi's discussion, although there were deliberate actions, but there was insight, it can be seen that I have great wisdom, could it be that General Wei thinks that I am not as good as Master Zhi, and I am not enough to speak? โ
Liu Xiu shook his head: "Although Master Zhi has a deep knowledge of Buddhism, compared to his step, his Taoism is much worse. I'm not even as good as Master Zhi, how dare I despise my step, just ......" He hesitated for a moment, he was happy with Master Zhi, relying on the later generations to criticize Buddhism Jing God, it is not a great wisdom, but these don't seem to be able to say to this mysterious man. "It's just that I'm always looking for money and food, and I don't have to do anything about it, and the parasitic people who have to rely on other people's alms to survive don't dare to take it too seriously."
"I see." The man nodded, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "But General Wei, even if you have enough money and food, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing, in the end, it's not a pile of rotten flesh and a handful of rotten bones?" If you want to live forever, it's easier said than done. โ
When Liu Xiu heard this, he suddenly laughed: "I've heard a story, are you interested in hearing it?" โ
The man was not surprised, "Why don't you hear it?" โ
Liu Xiu cleared his throat. "Once upon a time, there was a man who wanted to live forever, and when he heard that there were cultivators in the mountains, he quit his wife and children and went into the mountains to seek the Tao. When this Taoist saw him, he said, if you want to live forever, it is actually not difficult, as long as you do it according to my method and cultivate for decades, you can live forever. The man was very happy and hurriedly asked the Taoist for advice. The Taoist said that the foundation of cultivation should be heavy, and there are only two ways to build the foundation, one is to be temperate and to protect yu, and the other is to eat a light diet, that is, from the beginning, you must abstain from sexual affairs, and you must not eat and drink meat and wine. The man pondered for a long time and said, if you can't enjoy the pleasures of the room, and you can't enjoy the food of the mouth, what is the interest of immortality? So he went straight down the mountain, first drank wine and ate meat, and then entered the room with his old wife, enjoying the pleasures of the world, claiming that he was victorious in cultivating the Tao without cultivating the Tao. โ
The man listened quietly, and shook his head slightly: "Such laypeople only know the pleasures of men and women, the beauty of food, but they don't know the things that are happier than these in this world. โ
Liu Xiu told a joke, but came to such a conclusion, which couldn't help but be a little embarrassing. The man glanced at him, shook his head and smiled: "It seems that you are also confused by the outer way, you are diligent in practicing martial arts, but you are negligent in meditation, and you have not yet achieved meditation on samadhi, can you have such thoughts?" General Wei, one yin and one yang are said to be moving, there is movement but no stillness, which is not in line with the true purpose of the avenue. This is the reason why you have the ultimate wealth and all kinds of artifacts to help you, but your Dao art has stagnated. It's late at night, it's time for General Wei to rest, I hope General Wei can think twice, and you and I will meet again. After speaking, he didn't see him make a gesture, his body jumped up lightly, and he swept the roof of the Heavenly King's Palace as easily as a tired bird returning to the forest, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.
Liu Xiu was stunned, this kind of light body kung fu is beyond Luo Yao's reach. To be continued.
