In the wind and sand, under the scorching heat, a peerless beauty on the Gobi Sea.

Where the drizzle can't drift, where the birds don't want to come, where the mules and horses can't tie their desires, where they sip the nutrients of the dew, lead the unyielding soul of the desperate situation, and bloom the beauty that the wind does not blow.

The sun is scorching, and the nobility of life is raised; Wind chill, rooted in the depth of hope forever.

The beauty and faith of the blooming wilderness decorate the romantic scenery of a season with vigorous spirituality and tranquil charm. It is the awakening and thunder of the pioneers' march into the wilderness, the language full of pride and the eternal vicissitudes of life, and the vitality of tireless walking to hold up infinite hope.

Swaying in anxiety, beyond the limit of dreams, with fearless perseverance and stubbornness, dress up the boring and monotonous scenery of the desert. Bloom casually and make the summer beauty of your hometown lush and lush.

……

Hearing this tune of summoning monsters, Ning Xiao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Because she felt as if she was summoning an ancient beast.

The demon looked at Ning Xiao with pride, as if he had seen the result of her death and soul.

On the horizon, a lone wisp of smoke soon appeared, coiling and rising. Why is there such a lonely smoke in this desert place? Perhaps, can you still see the current situation of the desert?

Unfortunately, the lonely smoke soon turned into a crack in the sky. As soon as it was torn open, a giant beast appeared.

"Ahh As soon as the giant beast saw Ning Xiao, it was stunned.

"Ancient Demons!" When the demon saw the beast, he cried out. "Kill her for me! She is very high-minded, and even I am no match for her. If you use her as blood food, it will have a great tonic effect!"

"Aren't you reuniting with your companions?" But Ning Xiao said something else. "Why did you come here again to join in the fun?"

"Hmm-" The Old Demon was a little embarrassed. He replied shyly, "He is my main supplier of blood food. So, as soon as I heard his call, I thought there was blood again, so I ran over. ”

"Poof!" Hearing this, Ning Xiao couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Look at you, how badly you hurt yourself for a mouthful of blood!"

"Ahh Hearing Ning Xiao's conversation with the ancient demon, the demon was dumbfounded again. "Oh my God! Heaven is going to destroy me!"

"Humph!" Hearing him call like this, Ning Xiao remembered that he still had something to do. "It turns out that you also know that the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, and you can't live!"

……

"Ning Xiao, let's discuss!" Looking at the demon who was stunned by Ning Xiao's punch, the ancient demon cautiously exited. "This guy has provided me with a lot of blood food. What else do I plan to rely on him for blood food in the future? ”

"No way!" Ning Xiao shook his head very resolutely and refused. "This guy can't stay, it's a scourge. I must get rid of him for the Demon Realm. ”

"What do you mean by that?" The Ancient Demon looked puzzled. "He's just a little more ambitious. At present, the Demon Realm is in great need of this kind of ambitious guy. ”

"Ambition is nothing!" Ning Xiao muttered for a while, and then told the truth. "The problem is that he is greedy and will do whatever it takes to achieve his ends. Especially since he even did such a thing as selling his official beard. If he is left with a small life, as long as he has a little life, he can grow into a towering tree, and then it will bring destruction to the demon world. Even though I'm only a god general in the Divine Realm, I must not tolerate such a guy surviving in the Demon Realm. ”

"Oh!" Seeing that Ning Xiao's murderous intent had risen, the ancient demon didn't have much to say, so he had to stop meddling in this matter.

……

"Ning Xiao, can we sit together and talk?" However, after witnessing Ning Xiao kill the demon, the ancient demon had no intention of leaving, but instead compressed his body to the smallest size. Despite being the tiniest and smallest, it was still as huge as a giant for Ning Xiao.

"Good!" However, Ning Xiao felt that this was much more comfortable than facing the kind of behemoth that had hundreds of floors.

"Life is as big as life and death!" To her surprise, the ancient demon was so imposing as soon as he opened his mouth. "Zen's understanding of life and death can be described as expansive. In the classic records in the face of death, the Zen masters of the past generations are quite calm, and even the description of 'seeing death as home' is not an exaggeration. ”

"Oh!" Ning Xiao couldn't help but be surprised. "Ancient Demon, when did you first become interested in Zen Buddhism for humans?"

"I don't know," the Old Demon's eyes showed a kind of confusion. "When I was bored in this desert, I stumbled upon a book from my own world. In my spare time, I flipped through the pages and gradually looked into it. ”

"There's a lot of stuff in there, and there's a certain truth to it. Gradually, I realized a lot and improved my cultivation a lot. This time, in the competition with my peers, there are not many people who can tie with me. ”

"Hehe," Ning Xiao couldn't help laughing. "You are called Saion lost his horse, and you don't know the blessings and misfortunes!"

"Well, maybe!" The Old Demon let out a long sigh and continued. "Although the Zen masters' perception of life and death may have pan-American terms, it expresses a tendentious understanding of Zen. For example, there was a Zen master named Fa Chang, one day, he suddenly said to his disciples, 'What is coming is irrepressible, and what is about to pass away cannot be recovered.' ’”

The disciples all felt that the Zen master's sudden remarks were a sign of bad luck and Zen opportunity. At this moment, the squeak of a mouse was suddenly heard, and the Zen master continued: 'This is it, nothing else. Take care of yourselves, I'm going!' With that, he closed his eyes. So I said to a guy who was acting, 'Pull the curtain, it's over!' And then, how similar is dying peacefully!"

"However, the Zen master did not have the slightest fear and panic before death, nor did he have the pain and anxiety caused by nostalgia for life, and he was calm and witty, which is not exactly the embodiment of Zen's interpretation of life and death?"

The interpretation of life and death contains Zen's cultivation and wisdom of the life process. Zen has a unique understanding of the self's place in the natural world. This reflects the depth of Zen's understanding of life. Zen believes that 'if you want to be poor and poor, you must recognize your own field'. These realizations are based on ancient wisdom and the breadth and depth of culture accumulated over countless years. ”

"Ancient Demon," Ning Xiao gradually heard something famous. However, there was something not quite on her face. "You're trying to tell me something, but it's hard to say, are you?"

"What do you say?" The Old Demon opened his mouth, as if he wanted to admit it. But soon, he changed his mind and continued what he had just said. "You'd better listen to me finish what I'm going to say!"

"Zen's discovery of itself keeps his attitude towards life and death in a state of calm and calm. This is a unique and simple understanding of life, and it is also a liberation from life. ”

"There is a story about one day when a monk said to a Zen master, 'A scholar is sick all over, please ask a doctor.'" The Zen master actually said, 'No!' It's really a bit impersonal. The monk said, 'Why didn't the teacher cure?' The Zen master went further and said, 'You can't live, you can't die.' This is the founder of the Zen sect! As a result, the monk had an epiphany. ”

"Ning Xiao, cherish life! Can you also have an 'epiphany' from here? ”

"Ancient Demon," Ning Xiao became a little blurred the more he listened. "I'm a god now, and the fear of life and death seems to be a little out of touch!"

"Who said that the gods will not be able to understand life and death?" The old demon was a little angry when he heard this. "Even a god as big as the Creator of the World has not died in the end and sacrificed to the Gate of the Abyss?"

"Hmm-" Hearing this, Ning Xiao's eyes couldn't help but widen.

"Hmm!" The ancient demon, who felt that he had slipped his mouth, hurriedly reached out and covered his mouth. It was only when he saw Ning Xiao throwing a puzzled look at him that he had the courage to say it.

"There was also a Zen master who founded a sect, and someone asked him how old he was. And he replied, 'Seventy-nine-fifty-eight.' The man who asked was puzzled, and said that it should be seventy-nine sixty-three. The Zen master replied, 'I'm going to lose five years for you.' 'Sharp. From the side, it annotates the mystery of 'you can't survive, you can't die'. ”

"Oh!" An inexplicable lightning bolt suddenly flashed in Ning Xiao's mind. Just as she was about to reach out and grab the remnants of the lightning, the lightning vanished. She seemed to feel something, though.

"Ancient Demon, I understand what you mean," Ning Xiao was silent for a while, and then said so solemnly. "Rest assured, when that catastrophe comes, I will not easily summon you and your companions to come to your aid and make unnecessary sacrifices."

"No, no!" The ancient demon waved his hand again and again, signaling that Ning Xiao's understanding had deviated. "The catastrophe of heaven and earth is that all living beings should stand up and face it, and there is no senseless sacrifice. The most important thing for us is to worry about you...... The righteousness in your breast, and your loyalty to the God-King, will motivate you to make that senseless sacrifice, and the time will ......."

"Boom, boom!"

Who would have thought that as soon as the ancient demon said this, the sky thundered several times. This thunder is nothing unusual to ordinary people. But for Ning Xiao and the ancient demons, there was a creepy sense of horror.

"Ning Xiao, I can't say any more. Otherwise, we will be damned!" The ancient demon hurriedly covered his mouth tightly, but he couldn't help but leak these words from between his fingers.

"Hmm-" And Ning Xiao was also stunned.
