Chapter 343: A Double Epiphany
Looking at the white mist rising above Mu Yuan's head, Nan Xuanbei Yi and Tan Xiaosheng also looked at each other and smiled, and shook their heads helplessly.
"Master ......" Xing Tian was about to speak, but he was immediately stopped by the four elders waving his hand.
There was a strange scene in the room, the three elders were all smiling and drinking tea and wine, but Xing Tian was a little puzzled, looking at the expressions of the four elders depressedly, but he couldn't figure out the situation.
Suddenly, a furry figure ran in leisurely from outside the door, it tilted its little head to look at the scene in the room, then ran to Mu Yuan's side with its little tail, poked its head out and sniffed, and the hair on its whole body stood up. Just when everyone was worried that it would disturb Makihara, Niwa crept back, jumped onto the table with a "poof" under the surprised gaze of everyone, stuck his head directly into the cup, and licked the old ginseng wine with relish.
"Uncle!" Xing Tian couldn't hold it back, and asked softly in a throat, "What the hell is going on?" ”
"Even this little guy can see it, don't you understand?" Tan Xiaosheng smiled and said softly.
Xingtian glanced at Ni Yu, his eyes showed a trace of disdain, I don't know if he was aware of Xing Tian's hostility, Ni Yu raised his little head, his blurry little eyes glanced at Xing Tian, his little tongue hung out of his lips, and he was actually more arrogant than him.
"You!" Xingtian was hurt a lot now, and he was actually despised by a cat.
"That's it!" Han Di was really made a little embarrassed by these two guys, "Mu Yuan has entered an epiphany!" ”
"Epiphany!" He was shocked.
Epiphany originates from Buddhist terminology, which is the method of "clear mind" advocated by the Sixth Patriarch Huineng, which is said in relation to the method of gradual enlightenment. Zeng Minxing of the Song Dynasty wrote in the second volume of "Duxing Magazine": "(Yellow Valley) Shaoshengzhong, living in Fuling, first saw "Huaisu Self-Narrative" in Shiyang's house. Because of borrowing it, it is close to the end of the day, and almost all the food is wasted. Since then, I have had an epiphany of the grass method, and the pen is flying. It can be seen how great the benefits of the realm of "epiphany" are!
There are roughly four realms of cognition and perception of a certain thing – namely, realization, enlightenment, awakening, and epiphany. Learning and knowing is called enlightenment, repentance is called enlightenment, confusion and then consciousness is called awakening, and sudden enlightenment can be called epiphany. It can be seen that the epiphany has the characteristics of suddenness, uniqueness, instability and emotion, but it is precisely because of this that the progress of meditation and enlightenment can be greatly improved, so that "three feet of ice is frozen, only one day of cold"!
"Xingtian, don't worry!" Tan Xiaosheng comforted, "Gestalt psychologists pointed out that the process of human problem solving is epiphany, so epiphany is not an unattainable thing, and it is good to calm down!" ”
"In that case, then why is epiphany a dream of a person who participates in Zen and enlightenment?"
"Because enlightenment is often unattainable!" Yi Youdao said, "As long as the accumulation is deep enough and it coincides with the opportunity, epiphany will also come one after another, but how much you can participate in the epiphany depends entirely on your personal talent!" ”
Listening to Yi Youdao's words, everyone looked at Mu Yuan, a quarter of an hour had passed, but Mu Yuan showed no signs of waking up. Although everyone was eager to know what he had learned, they did not dare to go up and disturb him. After drinking for another half an hour, the fourth elder simply got up and left his seat and slowly paced into the courtyard. Just in case, Xingtian also took Niwa out, but this foodie was already drunk into a mess, and the little snoring was so loud that he probably couldn't wake up if he threw it down the mountain.
"Who the hell taught this!" Xingtian led Niwa's neck and scolded with disgust, "I was originally a foodie, but now I'm even addicted to alcohol!" ”
"Haha!" Yi Youdao affectionately grabbed the danyu and held it in his arms carefully, "Xingtian, don't underestimate it, when it really grows up, I'm afraid even you can't beat it, this is the master who dares to shout with the four divine beasts!" ”
"Okay, then I'll wait!" Xingtian said unconvinced, "When it grows up, I have to compete with it!" ”
"Let's go, let's go a little further!" He waved his hand, "Xingtian, you practice the Qingcheng swordsmanship, and let Youdao, Unreasonable and Xiaosheng give you pointers!" ”
"Okay!" As soon as Xing Tian heard this, he came to his senses, and he excitedly flashed out the rainbow.
In the faint light, a sword was like a silver dragon, flying up and down in the air, and sword flowers bloomed around Xingtian's body, and Sen Sen's murderous aura slowly rippled out, bringing up the sound of whirring wind.
"Uncles, how do you think I practiced?" Xing Tian put away his sword, and some dampness appeared on his forehead slightly.
"It seems that Qingcheng's sword technique is really worthy of its reputation!" Tan Xiaosheng nodded, "It's just that I don't know swordsmanship, but from the perspective of calligraphy, I faintly feel that there seems to be a trace of delay!" ”
"Late payment? What is the delay? ”
"I can't say that!" Tan Xiaosheng shook his head, "You still have to ask these experts!" ”
"There is more than enough to do, but not enough!" Xuan Wuli touched his beard and pondered for a moment before saying his opinion.
"Well, that's right!" Yi Youdao also nodded, "Xiaosheng's metaphor is very appropriate, the shape is not right, and the spirit is scattered!" ”
"Uncle Shi, what do you see?" Xingtian turned his gaze to the ground.
"Come, give me the sword, and I'll show you!" He rolled up his cuffs and reached out to take Hongming.
Holding the sword in his hand, he was not in a hurry to show the sword, his eyes narrowed slightly, his steps were empty, his right hand was horizontally sword in front of his chest, and his left hand pinched out a sword trick on the rainbow and gently crossed the void, a low sound came from the sword, and he took a step forward, and the sword flower bloomed suddenly in the air.
"Ahh Xing Tian couldn't help but exclaim.
The word "Dao" appeared in front of Han Dian Di's body, the strokes were powerful, such as a dragon swimming, such as a tiger, a phoenix dance, such as a snake plate, this word stayed for about a second and then disappeared, only the tip of the sword of Hongming was still shaking in the air.
The word "Dao" is actually the afterimage of the sword flower.
"Whew!" Exhaling a breath of turbidity, he retracted his steps, his chest rising and falling violently for a while before gradually calming down, "Old, old!" ”
"Uncle Shi, you're not old!" Xing Tian ran over excitedly, "Uncle Shi, what is this trick called?" Teach me, teach me! ”
"Xingtian, this is not a sword move, it's just calligraphy!" He dusted his forehead with a smile, "Xiaosheng, they are right, you attach too much importance to posture and sword skills, and these rules and regulations completely limit your play!" Now you can also be said to be an outstanding rising star in Qingcheng, the only thing you lack is experience and breakthroughs, if you can't break these rules, you will stop here for the rest of your life! ”
"Uncle Shi, I've been training all the time!"
"The Qingcheng faction started from the Qingcheng Zhangren, what is the most important thing in the exercises and mantras of the past dynasties?"
"Doing nothing, that is, keeping nothing leads to nothingness. The initial start is to keep the middle and make the void, the second step is to turn one into ten thousand, and the third step is to turn ten thousand into one, and one to return to nothingness......" Xing Tian replied here, and suddenly thought of something, and his eyes were stunned in place.
"Alas, I am so envious!" Xuan Wuli said a little depressedly, "Within one day, two sons of your sect actually entered an epiphany, think about my few bad disciples, none of them have been so created!" ”
"yes!" Yi Youdao was also quite emotional, "It seems that all my hopes are pinned on Danxin, that little girl may be able to have such a delicate heart!" ”
"You're mad at me!" Xuan Wuli glared at his old friend, "You have hope, but Bixue probably doesn't have this blessing!" ”
"Haha, there is a way, unreasonable, don't be so anxious, give them a little more time, I believe they will not let you down! Today's young people are so much smarter than our generation! ”
"Okay, no matter what, you still have someone to inherit the mantle, and no one will take my bookbag!" Tan Xiaosheng laughed at himself.
With a "clang", the sword holster in Xingtian's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and he was stunned in place for a moment before kneeling on the ground with a happy face and kowtowing three times at the ground.
