Abbot Zhishen walked to the entrance of the Heart Refining Tower, stretched out his hand to touch it, and encountered a barrier blocking it, the prohibition was still there, which made him very puzzled, how did Zhang Xuansheng walk in?

On the other side, after Zhang Xuansheng entered the Heart Refining Tower, he looked around curiously.

In his previous life, he didn't see much about cultivating immortals, and he was also very interested in this kind of secret place for exercising his state of mind.

However, I've been in for so long, what about the desire and demons that I said I was good about?

Zhang Xuansheng looked around a little confused, although the area is very wide and the ceiling is also very high, but it feels like an ordinary stone tower.

Could it be that those desires and demons dare not provoke me?

Since there is no demon to disturb, Zhang Xuansheng will not waste time, walk to the steps leading to the upper floor, and go up layer by layer.

Until he came to the ninth floor, Zhang Xuansheng did not encounter any desire and demons, and after reaching the top of the tower, Zhang Xuansheng also saw Huiming sitting in meditation in the central area.

Huiming seemed to feel Zhang Xuansheng's gaze, opened his eyes and looked at the staircase, and then smiled indifferently: "This time, you can actually conjure up the illusion of Xuansheng's real person, and your desire demon is amazing." ”

Zhang Xuansheng: "......"

Although he was a little speechless, Zhang Xuansheng got a message from Huiming's words just now, that is, the desire demon had never illusioned him before, and he guessed that it might be his luck.

Or maybe it's that he is so handsome and incomparably beautiful, and the desire demon can't copy and imitate it at all.

Alas, being too handsome is sometimes beneficial.

Zhang Xuansheng stood at the top of the stairs and did not go forward, but said directly: "Huiming, aren't you still awake?" ”

"Wake up? Wake up to what? You demon Hugh wants to bewitch me, I warn you, if you transform into a real person, you will be punished by heaven. ”

Hui Ming smiled, what kind of existence is Xuansheng Zhenren? That is the reincarnation of the gods and Buddhas of the primeval era, how can it be that the desires and demons can imitate and transform at will?

Hui Ming had already foreseen the scene of this demon being dissipated by God's curse.

"You have passed the trial of the ninth layer of heart refining, and you can get out of the tower."

Zhang Xuansheng said lightly.

Hui Ming still didn't believe it, and said firmly: "Don't bewitch me anymore, you will still appear, which proves that the heart refining trial is still not over." ”

Zhang Xuansheng sighed lightly, as if he was a little disappointed: "Huiming, you are too obsessed, what if I am your inner demon, if you know how to let go, why not just get out of the tower?" ”

Hui Ming was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and he didn't quite understand the meaning of the demon in front of him who was pretending to be a real person, but he didn't want to think about it, and he couldn't believe a word of what the desire demon said.

But after listening to it, he couldn't help but think, why did he enter the tower to cultivate?

The original intention was to exercise one's Buddha mind and bring one's state of mind one step closer, but in the end, isn't it actually just to become stronger?

That being said, even if you don't have those desires to bewitch yourself and let yourself get lost in those desires to become stronger.

From the moment you entered the tower, have you actually been trapped in the obsession of becoming stronger?

"What do you mean?"

Huiming was already a little unsure of the identity of the person in front of him, and said with some doubts.

"Huiming, I'll tell you a story."

Zhang Xuansheng said lightly.

Huiming was a little confused, not knowing the intention of the person in front of him, but nodded subconsciously.

Zhang Xuansheng opened his mouth and narrated: "Once in the upper realm, in a Buddhist holy place called Da Lei Yin Temple, the abbot chose an heir from two disciples, one was called Shenxiu and the other was called Huineng. ”

When Huiming heard this, he was already a little interested, there was a Buddhist predecessor in the story, who turned out to be a Huizi generation like himself.

And Zhang Xuansheng continued: "The abbot took two disciples to the Bodhi tree and asked them to make a poem each. After Shenxiu realized it, he first made a poem: the body is a Bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror platform, always wipe diligently, don't make dust.

Huiming, what do you think of this poem he composed? ”

Hui Ming was asked, pondered for a while, and then replied: "The little monk thinks that this master has done a good job, the body of all beings is a tree of enlightened wisdom, and the minds of all living beings are like a bright mirror, and it should be constantly dusted and wiped to prevent it from being polluted by dirt and obscuring the nature of light." From this poem of the master, you can feel his attainments in Buddhism and a pious heart. ”

After Hui Ming answered, he was very impressed by the Buddhist attainments of this Shenxiu master, but he was also very curious about the follow-up of the story, so he asked, "What about Master Hui Neng?" ”

Zhang Xuansheng smiled and continued: "What Huineng has done is: Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform. There is nothing in the first place, where is the dust! ”

After listening to Zhang Xuansheng's words, Huiming first pondered for a moment, and then felt that a bell was ringing in his ears, full of shock.

"Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform. There is nothing in the first place, where is the dust......"

Hui Ming muttered to himself, repeating the poem over and over again, his eyes brighter and brighter.

After careful understanding, he only looked up to the realm of this Huineng predecessor, and the short two crosses, like a Buddhist mantra, were deeply imprinted in his mind.

He realized only one word from it - emptiness!

That kind of desireless supreme realm, he seems to understand a little bit now.

At the same time, he also understood why the Xuansheng real person in front of him said before, even if he failed to completely pass the trial, what would happen if he got out of the tower.

Yes, I can't let go of it so much, isn't this obsession more terrible than those demons that bewitch me?

If my mind is complete, I have no desires and no desires, and I have reached the empty realm, why do I need to enter the tower?

From the moment I entered the tower, I had already fallen off!

Suddenly, Hui Ming looked at Zhang Xuansheng again, he now felt that he had seen it really, and what he was in front of him was the real Xuansheng real person!

Only Xuansheng Zhenren can wake me up so plainly, his Dharma attainments are really unfathomable!

"Huiming, are you enlightened?"

Zhang Xuansheng said, stepping forward.

Everywhere you go, step by step!

With his movements, in this ninth layer, golden lotuses bloomed, and golden light shone throughout the space.

In Huiming's eyes, Zhang Xuansheng is like an ancient Buddha coming to the world.

Zhang Xuansheng walked in front of Huiming and put his hand on the top of Huiming's head, and at this moment, the entire Heart Refining Pagoda lit up, and the Buddha's light soared into the sky!

Huiming looked at Xuansheng Zhenren blankly, feeling the vast Dharma emanating from the other party, and for a while, his heart was like a mirror, as if he had realized something, as if he had not realized anything.

Outside, Abbot Zhishen looked at the Heart Refining Pagoda shrouded in Buddha's light, as well as the sky-high Buddha light, even his rock-solid Buddha's heart couldn't help but have a trace of turmoil, and his face showed shock.

"This, this is the birth of the ancient Buddha!"

Abbot Zhishen said shockingly.
