The sun is fading, the cold wind is like a needle, and the dust that has accumulated for a long time slowly circles in the air, although the lights are turned on, the faint light seems to be difficult to dispel the darkness in the old house. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Long Xirui covered her mouth and nose and followed Meng Bufu into the house, although there was an uncomfortable itching sensation in her throat between exhaling and inhaling, it did not affect her to answer Meng Bufu's question, "Have you heard of the mysterious organization of Yirenshe?" ”

Meng Bu stopped suddenly, turned around, the dim light shone on his face, and his expression looked a little uneasy.

"The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side, but it doesn't sound like a good fate." He thought for a moment and said, "Did the camel monkey fall into the hands of those people?" ”

Long Xirui nodded: "I just don't know what they want to do." ”

Seeing that Meng Bufu was silent and didn't answer, Long Xirui asked again: "What secrets are hidden behind this camel monkey?" ”

Meng Bufu silently turned around and walked to the depths of the hut, slowly pulling the curtain open, revealing the walls inside.

Through the dust, Long Xirui found that there seemed to be some different colors painted on the wall, and with the help of the light, several people dressed as monks had different expressions, surrounding a fierce beast in the middle, which looked like a tiger and a leopard, fierce and fierce, and was howling at a monkey riding on the back of a camel.

"In Buddhist scriptures, monkeys are often used to represent the minds of ordinary beings." Meng Bufu said with a face on the wall, "Because the monkey is very active, scratching his ears and cheeks, looking left and right, jumping up and down, and wandering around, it is difficult to determine for a moment, which can be described as difficult to catch and adjust, so he often gives up one and takes one, is this very like ordinary beings who are uncertain?" ”

Long Xirui heard the mystery and didn't know how to answer for a while, and then heard Meng Bufu say: "In the Vimala Sutra, Vimala also commented on the sentient beings in this world of samsara, and he said: 'The sentient beings in this land are strong and difficult to transform, so the Buddha speaks strong words to subdue them, and the heart of the difficult person is like an ape, so he can be subdued by several methods to control his heart. ’”

Long Xirui thought to herself that Meng Bufu had begun to preach the scriptures again, so she only listened to him continue: "In the "Miscellaneous Ahan Sutra", that is, the six animals of dogs, birds, poisonous snakes, wild stems, lost harvests, and macaques are used as metaphors for the six roots of sentient beings. ”

"What you're saying has to do with the secrets of the camel monkeys?" Long Xirui said, "It sounds a bit like "Journey to the West". ”

Meng Bufu shook his head slightly with his back to her and said: "Some people say that when you really understand "Journey to the West" one day, you will also understand the true meaning of all the suffering in the world, and you will also understand the true meaning of the whole life. ”

"Who said that?" Long Xirui asked disappreciatively.

"Me!" Meng Bufu turned his head and glanced at Long Xirui, then turned his head to look at the painting on the wall and said, "Many people narrowly classify "Journey to the West" as a children's book, but in fact, people who have nothing to do with the Buddha can't read "Journey to the West" at all, and every story in that book is not made up by the author out of thin air, but contains profound philosophy and Buddhism, and even transcends the worldview of human beings sitting in the well and watching the sky, which is of great artistic value. It seems that the mythical story of learning from the West to fight monsters is actually a metaphysical treasure that ignites people's victory over the demons. Sun Wukong, Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk, and Bailongma, the five masters and apprentices, want to interpret the five aspects of a person. Sun Wukong is the heart of a person, Tang Seng is the body of a person, Zhu Bajie is the lust of a person, Monk Sha is the nature of a person, and the white dragon horse is the willpower of a person. Sun Wukong is the disciple of the Bodhi Patriarch in the three-star cave of the inclined moon, and the 'three-star of the inclined moon' is a heart word, so Sun Wukong is a disciple of the heart, and he is also in the same vein as the heart. His restless heart is destined to travel freely between heaven and hell, yin and yang, good and evil. "Lengyan Sutra" says that the heart has seventy-two phases, and Wukong in the book has seventy-two changes, just like the hearts of the world, which are changeable. The golden hoop rod weighs 13,500 catties, just as the "Yellow Emperor's Eighty-one Difficult Scriptures" says: "People breathe 13,500 breaths day and night", so the golden hoop rod represents 'qi'. What can go up to the thirty-three heavens and down to the eighteen layers of hell, the big one can reach the heavens, and the small one can be like an embroidery needle? Isn't it just the bearing of a human being? Refining the heart can make people's hearts bright, so the gossip furnace can't burn to death, but makes Wukong refine his eyes into fiery eyes. The Five Elements Mountain symbolizes the 'greed, hatred, ignorance, slowness, suspicion' in Buddhism, the Buddha said that these five words summarize all the body, deeds and thoughts of all people, even if the Monkey King is powerful, still can't escape these five words. Besides, Sun Wukong's somersault is 108,000 miles, which is exactly the distance of Lingshan. What is the explanation for this? That is to say, no matter how far away the spiritual mountain is, it is just a thought in the heart. Good and evil are only in one thought, one thought can become a Buddha, and one thought can also become a demon. The five masters and apprentices fought monsters on the West Heaven Road, in fact, it is a metaphor for a person to remove the demons on the road of life, and the so-called learning of scriptures is a process of cultivating the mind. The real spiritual mountain is actually in our hearts. The mantra known as the 'mantra of centering' can fix and restrain the heart, making the 'heart' represented by Wukong hurt and hurt, so after subduing Wukong, the heart of seventy-two changes was corrected. ”

Long Xirui listened and listened, although she felt that Meng Bufu's explanation was wonderful, but she was trapped in this dusty room for a while, and finally regretted that she had led the topic to "Journey to the West", which made Meng Bufu talk at length so much.

At this time, Meng Bufu said endlessly: "The three images of the white bone spirit represent a person's love, love, and desire, and Sun Wukong's 'heart' kills them one by one, which is a metaphor for the need to control one's feelings, love, and desires on the road of life, and not let them become obstacles to the progress of cultivation, so as to truly achieve positive results." ”

Long Xirui unconsciously recalled the time when he watched the TV series "Journey to the West" when he was a child, and suddenly remembered that in the twenty-five episodes of the TV series, "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" seemed to be the tenth episode, and couldn't help but realize that Meng Bufu's long and exhaustive description seemed to have just begun, so he deliberately changed the topic and said: "It turns out that the meaning of monkeys in Buddhism is so profound, so what about the other half of the camel monkey, the camel?" ”

Meng Bufu paused slightly, as if he was swallowing the words that had just come to his lips back into his stomach, and then he turned his head and rolled his eyes, and said: "It is said in the "Mahabharata" that if a person's mind is scattered, it is like a drunken elephant that has not been hooked, and it will trample on a beautiful flower pond, and like a camel that has not held its nose, it will overturn what it is carrying, and this scourge is faster than lightning and more serious than a poisonous snake. Therefore, in Buddhist scriptures, the camel is often used as a metaphor for the difficulty of subduing the mind, which means that the mind is chasing the external realm with the six roots and cannot settle down. ”

Long Xirui frowned and said, "This camel and monkey, how does the Buddhist explanation of the two sound a little similar?" Is this the secret of the camel monkey? ”

Meng Bufu shook his head vigorously and said, "Actually, I don't know the secret of the camel monkey at all. ”

Hearing this answer, Long Xirui couldn't cry or laugh, Meng Bufu looked at the sneering expression on her face, and said solemnly: "The secret of the camel monkey is unfathomable, but I am afraid that I may not have the fate to find out in my lifetime." ”

"But why are you looking for answers to your questions in Buddhist scriptures?" "Unfortunately, I am an atheist, and it is difficult for me to comprehend the breadth and profundity of Buddhist culture. ”

Meng Buyan smiled lightly and said, "According to the atheist point of view, monkeys should be the ancestors of humans. ”

"That's Darwin's theory of evolution in On the Origin of Species." Long Xirui said and took a few steps forward, and began to observe the painting on the wall closely, and found that the painting was not depicted on the paper, but directly on the wall, and then touched it carefully, it turned out that the wall was actually a huge rock.

"But the flaws in the theory of evolution have long been discovered." Meng Bufu said.

Long Xirui turned his head, looked at Meng Bufu with a questioning gaze, and motioned for him to continue.

"There are a lot of archaeological discoveries that can't be explained by evolutionary theories, and that's what I've gathered." Meng Bufu said as he took out his mobile phone and fiddled with it a few times, and then handed it to Long Xirui.

Long Xirui saw the text on the screen of his mobile phone: In 1913, German anthropologists found a complete modern human skeleton in the 1 million-year-old strata of the Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania. American scientist Meister once found an adult's footsteps in loafers and a child's barefoot footprints in the Cambrian sedimentary rocks of Antelope Springs in Utah, on a fossil of a trilobite, and the trilobite is a creature 250 million to 540 million years ago, which has long been extinct. Four human footprints have been found on the Triassic rock face in Fuyuan County, Yunnan Province, China, and those footprints have been found to have been left 235 million years ago. In 1976, the famous archaeologist Mary? D. Niche also found a set of footprints on volcanic ash sedimentary rocks that closely resemble modern human features, and whose soft tissue anatomy is distinctly different from that of apes, which are radiologically determined to be between 3.4 million and 3.8 million years old.

"These data suggest that humans may have predated apes?" Surprised, Long Xirui reasoned, and at the same time, he was surprised that Meng Bupu, a seemingly devout Buddhist, was so keen on science.

Meng Bufu said noncommittally: "Human beings try to explain nature with science, but they often seem helpless when it comes to some supernatural problems. ”

If he hadn't seen the unbelievable light in the eyes of the camel monkey, Long Xirui would inevitably laugh when he heard the word "supernatural", but since hearing the Mingjian brothers say that the camel monkey's stomach contains metal elements other than the periodic table, the cognitive concept has also changed significantly.

"How old is the stone with this fresco?" Long Xirui asked, touching the wall.
