Chapter 5: Memories are like a thin blade
After entering the house, Li Xiangru lit the butter candle oil and took out a rather old book, the yellowed paper was a little torn by perennial reading.
This book is very ordinary, it is all about the basic introduction of cultivation, and the title of the book is "Phaselessness".
Li Xiangru opened the book and opened the first page:
The Great Treatise says: Prajnaparamita is unphased.
Those who are immeasurably righteous are born from one law. One of them is the one who has no phase. The 30th Sutra of Nirvana says: "Nirvana is called unphased, and what is the cause and effect of the name of unphased?
The so-called hue, sound, fragrance, taste, touch, birth, and bad, male, and female phases are the ten phases, and there is nothing like them. Hence the name. "Mahayana Chapter 2
He said: "Those who have no words." There are two meanings in interpretation: one is to explain the name, and the reason is the best of all appearances, so the name has no phase. The second is the interpretation of the law of Nirvana, and the law of Nirvana is separated from the ten phases, so it is said that there is no phase. "Vimala Sutra
The non-dual method says: "One phase without phase is two, if you know one phase, it is no phase, and you don't take no phase." Entering into equality is the only way to enter. Tong Jingying said: "All the laws are known."
Emptiness, called phaselessness. Zhiguan said: "There is no phase in the normal situation, and there is no fate in the common wisdom." The Vimala scripture Shushri asked, "Saving sentient beings even though they are unphased is a bodhisattva's behavior." "This
There is no phase and there is a shallow and deep double.
To reach the realm of unphased appearance, that is, in this world, he is everywhere, and he can merge with all things in heaven and earth, the wind is him, the clouds are him, the rain is him, and the flowers and trees are also him. You can't see him, because he can have no concrete form.
When Li Xiangru raised this question, the blind master unceremoniously knocked him on the head with a cane, causing him to grin in pain. Then the blind master thought about it and said, It seems that it can be understood in this way, but after the realm of no phase, only two people have reached it in four thousand years. Both men are gone. There is speculation that aspectlessness is the taboo of stepping on time, and there is a realm above phaselessness, which is a realm of space. More than 2,000 years ago, it was the second sage, Bu Fanchen, who put forward a bold idea, saying that the world we exist in is just a monohedral world, like a towering tree, and the world we live in is just a leaf from a branch on the tree. The other leaves also exist in time and space, perhaps different from us, their world is not necessarily ruled by people, and it may also be ruled by some alien beasts, this explanation seems to be more reasonable. Every thousand years, a celestial stone falls, and with it, a flood of strange beasts rises. or Psychics, or Entities, but there will be fewer Entities. Well, it's not clear anyway, after all, it's difficult for anyone to reach the realm of transforming into a god alone. And those who have reached the absence of phase have no news.
After listening to the blind master's answer, Li Xiangru touched his head aggrievedly and looked at the blind master, but he always forgot, no matter how aggrieved and complaining the expression was, the blind master couldn't see it.
This is a mysterious thing, just like in the cave he often heard the old man of the archaeological team, with words in his mouth, and just like this, as long as he doesn't understand it, it's good.
Li Xiangru took advantage of the faint light and began to flip through it again, and the blind master said that if you can't break through through the flowers and trees, you can also find a breakthrough from the book here. Epiphany is also mysterious, and it can even be said that there is no trace.
The master told him that the epiphany was to meet a woman and fall in love, and he couldn't get that woman, so he stood on the edge of the cliff all night and pondered, and finally entered with love, or love.
Li Xiangru prefers to believe that it was the woman who disliked the blind master's ugly and vulgar appearance and was unwilling to befriend him.
Epiphany is an extreme, an awareness of a mood.
Could it be that I also want to find a woman, pursue her desperately and desperately, and then let her reject me, so that I am also in love, and I can enter the country in an instant?
Li Xiangru put down the book, tilted his head, stared at the core of the fire and thought nonsense, and then he shook his head again, and bounced this masochistic and even perverted thought out of his head.
In the early spring night, it was still a little cold, and the faint light reflected on his face, which still looked pale.
Li Xiangru suddenly felt a sharp pain in his body, like a fist, slamming on his stomach, a kind of inertia made him like a shrimp being put into a frying pan, instantly bent and shrunk into a ball, he bent down in pain and sat on the ground. The meridians on his forehead burst out, his facial features were distorted, and the bean-sized sweat particles seemed to have just fallen into the water and just fished out, his clothes were wet, he grabbed and pulled his clothes, and tore them apart!
Shocked to find two air currents, blue desperately escaped, black desperately chased:. The two currents of air are walking at great speed, like a shark chasing food on the bottom of the sea, the food jumps out of the water from the depths of the seabed, and sinks from the surface of the water to the bottom of the sea, running wildly, like a carnival......
Consciousness seemed to be stuck in a swamp quagmire, slowly enveloped in darkness, breathing became slow and weak, pain seemed to have stopped the brain function, and even the thoughts were gradually swallowed up. Li Xiangru fell into a coma like this.
Dreams are long and tedious, but also distressing, like a sharp and thin blade, gently cutting through your body, leaving a subtle and deep wound, and the pain is delicate and diffuse.
When Li Xiangru was in a coma, he dreamed of his sister's face full of youth, simple and happy at the gate of the campus in the sun.
It was a very sensible face, and the sensible would no longer reveal his worries about life in front of him, and he felt sorry for his brother. "Brother, you're here." "Like a honey stuffed into a bitter mouth, sweet happiness slowly pours into the body from the dry throat, moisturizing a sensory part of the body, flowing in every vein, and delighting in every pore. The voice, like a nightingale in the forest with just wings spreading, shows a sweet and delicate singing voice, jerky and intoxicating. It's just that face that is gradually consumed by the time, space, and events here.
I always think that as long as I remember those good things, I can lock them in the memory box to exist forever, and I think you can twist the lock lightly and gently at will when you want to find it. But we forget that we can feel the warmth of the sun, but we can never put it in a glass bottle and seal it for keeping.
Gradually, the lock in the box rusted, and the open key slowly began to play hide and seek. The face in that memory began to blur, even though he drew that face countless times, but rejected it countless times.
That's not love, it's family affection, family affection that depends on each other!
I don't know how long he was unconscious, but the big black horse threw it in through the window with a basin for feeding it wine, and a screeching sound woke him up.
Li Xiangru woke up from a coma in pain and soreness, and the various discomforts coming from the bone marrow made him collapse, and his whole body was cold and weak. When he opened his eyes, he didn't even bother to get up, but waved weakly at the big black horse peeping in through the window.
The big black horse snorted, as if laughing at his weakness. Then he shrank his head out again, still drunk, and needed to continue sleeping, and in the silence of the night he seemed to hear the sound of the big black horse's swaying hooves, and even the sound of almost standing unsteadily and falling.
After a while, the night fell silent again.
Li Xiangru lay on the ground, rested for a while, and when he regained some strength, he began to repair the broken meridians in his body. If there is a hidden skill of the traverser to quickly recover his physique, that is, even if he is slashed a few times on his body, the kind that stabs into the bone marrow, after a few days, the wound will still heal automatically. In the case of broken meridians, there is a spiritual energy in the body that will be automatically repaired. On the battlefield, he relied on this to escape death many times. Even the commanders, military advisors, and blind masters were amazed at his ability to heal himself, and the quack doctors in the army who were "half-" wanted to use him for experiments and study his blood. If it weren't for the division commander and the military advisor who stopped him and asked the few people who knew about it to keep it secret, it is estimated that he would have been cut into countless pieces by that quack doctor, and even when a living dead person soaked in potions, every experiment provided to him.
This is also an important reason why his cultivation and promotion are very fast, a rare physique for thousands of years!
Another is the black qi in his body. The blind master said that it was a strange beast, or a foreign beast that had always been intact in its infancy. The blind master couldn't figure out what it was, and he didn't know it himself, but he remembered that a dark shadow on the wall had swooped down on him in the moment before he fell unconscious, and then the whole cave began to crumble.
For more than a year, in order to study the alien beasts in his body, the blind master didn't know how many divine beast spiritual senses he had lost into his body, as if the spirit beasts in his body were inexplicably attractive to other alien beasts, and as long as he got close to his body, he would be inhaled by it.
The coma was not accidental, this was the eighth time he had swallowed the Poor Strange Spiritual Sense! So, for more than half a year, his face was always pale. Originally, the blind master wanted to use this fierce Qiqi to help him enter the realm of Youquan, but the blind man underestimated the ferocity of Qiqi's spiritual sense, and also overestimated the ability of the strange beast in his body.
In the past six months or so, it has been difficult for Li Xiangru to control the spiritual power in his body, and even the spiritual power stored in the Qi Sea is as if there is nothing. What he figured out was that if his life was threatened, the aura in his body would come out for him to defend against the enemy. In the three years he has been following the blind master, he is no longer the idiot of cultivation, nor is he inexplicably excited about his superpower to move objects in the air. His abilities have gone far beyond that.
Spiritual Qi occlusion is his current predicament, from the book left to him by the blind master, he feels that he can come to Yanjing, and once he comes to the strongest cultivator in Kyushu, Chen Qingfeng, the national teacher of Jingguo, is here, and he is happy that he has the ability to solve the problems in his body. The blind man said that Chen Qingfeng owed him a favor, and Li Xiangru could come to ask for a debt. Second, the remnants of the green dragon are guarding the imperial city, and the Vermilion Bird Xuanwu is also in the eyes of Yanjing, it is best to devour them, even if he can't swallow them, with the help of their power, it is possible for him to recover. Thirdly, there are some debts that need to be paid with fists, and there are some souls that need to be worshiped with blood.
Even if Li Xiangru is alone, even if he is facing the entire Jingguo royal family, he is not afraid.
Lee Sang-ru's aura running again allowed him to slowly regain his strength, he got up to look at himself naked, shook his head with a wry smile, and then took out a new piece of clothing from his baggage.
There was a well in the backyard, and when he came out of the doorway, he saw the big black horse lying on the ground, panting from its nostrils, rudely destroying the few grass that had just grown out of the cracks in the stone, and the grass was crumbling and miserable under its wine.
Li Xiangru looked at it speechlessly, the horse was lying down and sleeping! Well, this is reasonable! Then he ignored it and stepped directly over it.
