Chapter Twenty-Six: The Temple of Nothingness
Xiao Shami told Xiao Shuai that his master had been waiting for Xiao Shuai here for decades, and this morning he suddenly asked them to carry him out and lean against the pillar to wait, and the old monk said that the person he was waiting for today would definitely come.
Waited for decades? Although Xiao Shuai didn't know these reasons, he was so moved that he unconsciously knelt down in front of the old monk's body. At this moment, the old monk's body suddenly turned into several colorful rays of light
Rushing to the sky, the entire temple also chanted in unison at the same time. Xiao Shuai was stunned for a moment.
When the glow dissipated, everyone returned to their previous calm, those who should drink tea drank tea, and those who played chess continued to play chess, without a little sadness, it was like a normal thing.
Open the small wooden box, the brocade inside was softly wrapped in a ball the size of a ping-pong ball, black and shiny, I don't know what it is, Xiaoshuai reached out to take it, and just touched the black
ball, the surrounding scene suddenly flashed again. Xiao Shuai is like being in a sea of corpses and blood, and he can feel the sadness without looking. Just in an instant, the surrounding scene returned. other
People don't notice it at all, is it jumping into overlapping spaces again? Where is it that there is such a tragedy in the war?
This situation has happened a few times in this netherworld, and Xiao Shuai doesn't feel strange, but he is worried that he will suddenly go insane that day.
"It's your memory." The little novice next to him said.
! Xiao Shuai was taken aback and asked urgently: "You also saw it just now?" ”
Xiao Shami looked puzzled and asked, "What do you see?" ”
"You say this is my memory?" Xiao Shuai looked at Xiao Shami.
Xiao Shami nodded, "This black ball is the memory of your previous life, you give him to the master, let the master return him to you here, as long as you include him in the sea of knowledge, you will remember."
All. ”
Xiao Shuai thought about it and put the black ball back in the box. Through Xiao Shami, Xiao Shuai changed into clean clothes and walked around in this temple. I also learned about this mountain through this little novice handsome
It is called Banbi Mountain, and there are five peaks in total. As the name suggests, there is only the upper half of the mountain and no lower half. The bottom of the mountain is covered with thick white clouds all year round. Under the white clouds was nothingness, and there was no one who jumped down
I've been back. There are often more people in Banbishan for some reason, and these people also come here in various ways, and there are often people who disappear inexplicably.
It is rumored that Banbi Mountain was originally a fairy mountain in the mythical time - Buzhou Mountain, and this half of the mountain was broken by Gonggong. This temple has been on this hilltop since ancient times, and there is no name, people who come here
Spontaneously gave this temple a name: Wuji Temple. It is said that after breaking ignorance, you can leave this half of the mountain.
There is also a strange place in Banbi Mountain, all of them are men, and no woman has ever been to this fairy mountain for many years. The years on this immortal mountain are longer than outside, and people often look like they are fifty or sixty years old
It's like a young man in his thirties. And the old monk is the longest-lived person in this half of the mountain, and when everyone in this half of the mountain comes here, there will be an old monk, and no one can say how many old monks there are
years old. The big world outside is also a small world of its own, some people work hard to farm and breed to provide food for everyone without regrets, and some people don't cook anything to open their mouths. Industrious people from labor
In order to experience happiness and enlightenment, in order to break ignorance, lazy people have to live and eat and wait for death, but they are all right. The only precept is that the wild creatures of the mountains must not be harmed.
When Xiao Shami said this, Xiao Shuai thought of the thin old man who roasted pheasants, and Xiao Shuai wanted to ask but was afraid of causing trouble to the thin old man, so it was better to shut up.
In order to be able to go back, Xiao Shuai didn't go through the five peaks like those laymen who first arrived at Banbi Mountain. Instead, he obediently stayed in the temple, flipped through the Buddhist scriptures and read the Taoist treasure. already
However, these people have been staying here for countless years, and naturally these five peaks have been turned over by them countless times.
The reading of the Bible here is also different from that of the world. The scriptures are all the same, but here the reading is not one sentence at a time, but word by word. After reading a lot, Xiao Shuai finally realized the scriptures in each
Each word has a unique meaning. One flower, one world, one word, one Bodhi.
"Good man. This ignorant one. Non-corporeal. Like a dream, when a person dreams. It is not nothing, and it is not nothing, and when you wake up, you have nothing to gain. Like empty flowers. Perished in the void. Don't speak. There is a place for definite extinction. Why. There is no place to live
Old. All sentient beings are born and die in vain. ”
On this day, Xiaoshuai read the scriptures, and after reading it, he couldn't help but say to himself: "If you see life and death in vain in lifelessness, how can you be lifeless?" How is that possible? ”
When Xiao Shuai was distressed, a voice sounded next to him: "The body and mind are extinguished, there is no birth, there is no extinction, so there is no birth, so there is no death, so there is no ignorance." ”
The person who spoke was a middle-aged scribe who looked like a scholar in white, and he looked like a fairy wind and bones, and he was very clear.
Xiao Shuai seemed to be touched, "It is said that taking the precept as a teacher and trying to minimize the contamination of red dust, you can have less dust and less delusions in your heart, but you still have delusions in your heart, what is the explanation?" ”
The middle-aged scribe said again: "Wrong, wrong, don't you have delusions if you reduce your contact with delusions?" When delusions are flying, it is the season of work. Spinning and scattering, spinning and scattering, long-term and skillful,
Naturally, I can't afford to think about it. ”
This is like when I first met the Master, the Master told Xiaoshuai to challenge the troubles, to challenge the habits, and only by defeating these troubles will there be no troubles. What this middle-aged scribe said was also a meaning, delusional
The time is the time to challenge delusions. For a while, Xiaoshuai had a great impression of this scribe, and the two of them talked together, but they didn't expect this person to be very good in his speech, and the subset of scriptures and histories was even more catchy and eloquent
。
It wasn't until dinner time that I realized that this man was the most learned man here, and everyone called him a scholar. Xiao Shuai has been here for some time, and he has already asked the thin old man to be careful of the words of the scholar
Perhaps he didn't take it to heart in the first place.
In his spare time, Xiao Shuai also visited Wufeng, and also went to the thin old man to eat the "stinky meat" abandoned by the thin old man, Xiao Shuai jokingly called it "the food that came to him". After eating how much to eat the food that came to the small
Shuai also learned a lot of cooking tricks, recognized a lot of natural spices in the mountains and fields, and even figured out what the thin old man said was just right. Occasionally cook a fish by himself and a skinny old man
Although he looked disdainful, a slight smile appeared on his face.
In this way, he has comprehended a lot, and Xiao Shuai's temperament has also changed, just like the university scholar Xiao Shuai saw, he has poetry and books in his belly. But there is still no way to leave Banbishan, a few times
Xiao Shuai stood at the lowest level of Banbi Mountain and looked at the floating clouds like a sea of cotton, and he had the idea of jumping down a few times, until he saw a person who had only been to Banbi Mountain for a few days and couldn't help jumping down, hearing that he was very
After the shouts that were about to disappear, Xiao Shuai dispelled this thought.
There is a blue cold pool on the mountain, upstream of the thin old man's fishing. Bihan Lake is bottomless, some people once thought that Bihan Lake is a passage out of half of the mountain, they have all gone down to try, but the people who go down are either it
I can't hold my breath and come back, or the corpse will float up. Once upon a time, there was a fisherman who had grown up by the sea since he was a child, and he was so watery that he tied a bamboo tube all over his body and prepared a long rope, a long rope
It was also tied with bamboo tubes, and a large stone was tied to one end of the long rope. In this way, he can unscrew the bamboo tube cover and breathe air when he runs out of air after diving. After trying a few times, I couldn't get enough of it
water pressure and return. One day he decided to go out and prepared a long, long rope tied to a bamboo tube to dive again. After a few days the body surfaced, no one tried again.
