Chapter 6 The Second Level Test
"Can you see me?"
After staring at him again and asking,
The guy just froze in place and started to tremble, and I walked away with the basket on my back. Then the sound of falling and running is heard.
I can't go back to the dormitory now, and Master Mao is afraid that he is sleeping, so I sit outside the courtyard gate of Master Mao's house and rest on my knees.
It's obviously inappropriate to knock on the door now, and Master Mao should be up in just over an hour.
I was so tired from the night that I leaned against the wall and squinted for a while. This squint was just outside a cave.
This should be the second test.
Master Shang had secretly told me a long time ago that the second test was in a dream, and everything was illusory, telling me not to be afraid. Let me think about the meaning of the Heart Sutra and I can easily pass it.
So when three big vicious dogs appeared in front of me and barked at me, I didn't care at all.
It should be that the color is not different from the void, the emptiness is not different from the color, and these dogs are empty.
Regardless of them, I took two steps forward.
But the dog made two pounce movements, only to pounce and retreat. Then he continued to yell at me.
"I'm a good person, good dog", I said nice things to the dog.
It didn't work, they still showed their sharp canine teeth and continued to bark wildly.
People are good at being bullied, they must see me as a good talker.
"Get out", I yelled at the three vicious dogs.
After that, not only did it not scare them. The dogs barked even harder.
I heard that when you are threatened by a dog, you have to bend down and pretend to pick up a stone, and the dog will run away.
I slowly bent down, but at this time, the three dogs rushed at once, and the left and right little arms were bitten at once.
Pain.
It hurts.
I kept struggling.
But the two dogs bit my arm and tore it off, tearing off two pieces of flesh for me.
I couldn't care less, so I quickly picked up a brick-sized stone on the side of the road and threw it over.
The dog ran away, continued to pick up stones and continued to throw them, and looked at his wounds after driving the three vicious dogs away, isn't this a dream?
Damn, it hurts, if it's a dream I just want to wake up quickly.
If it wasn't for a dream, how did I get here? What am I doing here?
I thought about it, wondering how I got here, and if I couldn't think of it, it was a dream.
If you can't think of it, then it's a dream.
Then I can leave the wound on my hand alone? But both arms hurt so much, and they were bleeding down the arms.
"Big brother—", I shouted, and whispered the next sentence, "Fuck you."
"Your mother", this time I really called out unconsciously, because I saw that the three vicious dogs were back, followed by two bigger dogs.
Judging by their size, the two large dogs had to stand up more than one of them.
This is really terrible, these three vicious dogs are too immoral, it's not enough to bite people to get cheap, and they call their parents, this is the rhythm of the whole family to eat together.
into the hole, which is the only option at the moment.
I didn't hesitate, just think it wasn't a dream.
Hurry into the cave, which is always gray, not as dark as a normal cave.
I ran inside the hole, and I don't know how long I ran, but when I saw the hole in front of me, I could go out.
But as soon as I ran to the entrance of the cave, I was stunned.
Outside the cave is a strange sight.
The earth is above, the heavens are below!
Everything was reversed, like I was looking at the world upside down.
What to do?
Could this be the same as the invisible stone staircase at the entrance to the Great Khan's Mausoleum? I stepped in and stepped on it.
There was an emptiness.
I tried to step on it in the distance, left and right, and it was all empty.
Could it be that the gravitational force in it is just reversed, and people will do a handstand as soon as they enter?
No, you have to try it first, you have to find a stone to throw in it.
I bent down to look for it, there was not a single stone at all, and as I walked towards the entrance of the cave, there was a dog barking.
Can't go back?
The second test has to be passed, it's okay without stones, I take off my shoes and throw it in, it's a dream anyway.
I looked down to take off my shoes, but found that not only did I have no shoes, but I was covered in fine clothes, and I didn't even have a pair of underwear!!!.
What to do?
Good thing I'm smart.
"Phew", spit out.
The saliva that spit out was blown away by the wind, and it was impossible to see that it was falling down, or flying up.
There's no trick now.
I kept trying to sip some saliva in my mouth, but my mouth was dry.
If your saliva doesn't work, just pee.
I put water at the entrance of the hole, and sure enough, the urine flew straight up.
I was a little ecstatic in my heart, and sure enough, it was just the opposite of gravity, but then the wind outside the cave blew again, blowing all the urine away, even blowing it on my face.
Phew, a burst of nausea, even if it's your own urine, it's unacceptable.
Hurry up and end this dream, I lifted my feet and stepped out.
However, my heart was still tight, and I stopped.
I'm still afraid. After all, this is contrary to common sense, and I have been born from birth to the present, and the common sense of nineteen years has to be reversed today.
It is better to be cautious, I broke the hole with both hands and slowly put my feet outside the hole.
Strange, why do I still fall down and not go up?
It's the ground above, and when I urinated and tested just now, didn't the urine go up too?
No, I was going to crawl back into the hole, but then the two arms that had been bitten by the dog began to tear and hurt.
Can't climb back at all.
It's over, you can't keep falling like this, is this a dream, or is it a ghost that has arrived in the underworld?
If it was a dream, I wouldn't be able to fall to death. If it was the underworld, as soon as I let go, my soul would keep falling into the void, and maybe my body would become a vegetative person.
By the way, Heart Sutra, does Master Shang want me to recite the Heart Sutra? No, it's the Heart Sutra, but which verse is it referring to?
Fortunately, the Heart Sutra was not long, so I recited it from the beginning, "Contemplation, Bodhisattva,...... No worries. There is no obstacle, no terror, far from upside-down dreams, nirvana. ”
Wait a minute!
Stay away from upside down, isn't the situation I'm facing right now upside down? But I continued to understand this passage, but I couldn't understand the truth.
Master Mao and Master Shang both said that the previous scriptures did not have punctuation, and the current scriptures are all punctuation marks made by later generations, which are punctuation marks according to everyone's different understanding of the scriptures.
Even if the eminent monks commented on it, it was not necessarily the Buddha's original intention.
It can only represent the understanding of the monk at that time, the realm at that time.
So what if the punctuation marks of the Heart Sutra are wrong?
Thinking of this, I started to think about it from scratch, and this is my own wisdom. If you get it right, the mystery is solved.
Finally I typed my punctuation mark, "Heart, no obstacles." There is no obstacle, so there is no terror, far from upside down, and the dream is nirvana. ”
If this is the annotation, there is no obstacle, so there is no terror, then I am now in the obstacle, and I am worried that I will fall.
If there is no obstacle and stay away from the upside down, the dream will end. Nirvana also means the end.
Isn't it in a dream now, and dreams not only represent dreams, but also represent attachment, trouble, and fear.
I had an epiphany and let go of my hands.
I woke up all of a sudden, and I was still sitting outside the courtyard of Master Mao's house.
I should have passed the second level.
There was no bleeding on the arm, just a few more burnt tooth marks.
I was just a little happy, and suddenly I felt like my crotch was wet!!!!!!!!!!!!
I!!!!!
Am I peeing!!!!!!!!!!
Shocked, quickly confirmed, yes, I actually ......
Hurry back to change my pants, I picked up my backpack and walked back, when I heard the door of the courtyard behind me "squeak" open.
Shame, I ran faster, I literally ran at flying speed, running through long streets and turning streets.
I guess you didn't see me.
After taking a breath, I went back to the dormitory to change my clothes and pants, and then came to Master Mao's residence, and bought breakfast by the way.
Master Mao looked at me and didn't speak, just kept laughing, but I always felt that there was something strange in that smile.
Looking at the tooth marks on my hand, I quietly asked Master Shang,
"Master Shang, how did you pass the second level when you took the exam?"
Master Shang looked at me, "I haven't been"
"I didn't dare to step in!!!!
"And how did you get started?"
"I haven't passed that level, so I can't learn a lot of Taoism, and Master can't teach me."
