Chapter 032: Seeking the Tao in a Dream
"How did I end up here? Did you save me? I asked Li Xiangyang.
Li Xiangyang said: "Didn't I save you or who saved you?" Now this house is full of zombies created by Chen Tianding, and they can't get out at all. ”
"So where am I now? Why didn't the zombies find out? I asked Li Xiangyang.
Li Xiangyang stared at me, wanting to speak and stopped.
I continued to ask him.
Li Xiangyang said: "Don't be disgusting when I say it!" ”
I nodded, I've seen zombies and demons, what else can disgust me?
"This is the thatched pit of Chen Tianding's family"
"Thatched pit? Vomit"
I ran to the side and vomited as much as I could, only to find a pungent smell coming to me, and the place where I vomited was in the pit where the feces were most concentrated!
I'm a dog!
I vomited and scolded, Li Xiangyang ran over and said with a smile: "You just arrived and are a little unaccustomed." ”
Not used to it? I bought a watch last year! Who can get used to this man in the pit? I'm afraid he's the only toilet ghost he's used to!
"I said, old ghost, why did you choose this place? Isn't it ill-intentioned? I complained to Li Xiangyang dissatisfied.
Li Xiangyang's face was gloomy after hearing this, and he said unhappily: "Are you unlucky? It looks like I saved you by mistake! It's really kind to be a donkey's liver and lungs! ”
"That's not what I meant," I explained to Li Xiangyang when I saw that he was a little displeased, "I mean that we can just hide in a darker place and not be discovered." Why do you have to choose a latrine? You must know that the latrine is the dirtiest, the dirtiest place, and the place where the yin qi is the heaviest."
"Hmph, after all, you still don't dislike my thatched pit?" Li Xiangyang said coldly, "Okay, I won't pursue this matter with you, if you want to leave, you can leave!" Hordes of zombies out there, see how you can deal with them. ”
Li Xiangyang is right, the zombies outside are crowds and crowds. Although there are not many villagers in Xiwang Village, it is really difficult for me to deal with these zombies alone. I wandered back and forth for a while where I wanted to go and didn't want to go.
Li Xiangyang said coldly: "Ma Daochang, have you forgotten your uncle's words when he was dying?" ”
Naturally, I haven't forgotten my uncle's words before he died, I want to save the other villagers in Xiwang Village, but I'm trapped in the pit and can't get out, how can I save them? I'm now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and I can't repay myself.
Li Xiangyang smiled: "I have a way, I don't know if Ma Daochang is willing to listen?" ”
I nodded.
Li Xiangyang said: "I have a ability to make you fall asleep, you don't know how to deal with zombies now, I will send you into a dream to see your grandmother, you ask her for advice." ”
I was amazed by what a good way to do it!
However, the question is, how can Li Xiangyang have such a ability to support dreams? Who the hell is he?
I looked at him in disbelief.
He seemed to understand my mind and gave me an explanation, "Are you wondering why I did this?" Actually, thanks to your grandmother. She approached me a year ago and taught me how to do it. She said it would be useful in the future, and I never imagined that I would use it today. ”
It turned out that my grandmother had already thought about it in advance!
I remembered that when I saw her in my dream that day, she kept asking me to leave Xiwang Village. How can I explain it when I meet her later?
Li Xiangyang walked up to me and said, "Ma Daochang, are you ready to sleep?" ”
I nodded, do I still need to prepare for this sleep?
Li Xiangyang saw me nodding, and without saying a word, he suddenly penetrated into my body.
I hurriedly said, "What are you doing here?" ”
Li Xiangyang didn't answer, I was about to force Li Xiangyang out of my body, but before I could ** person, I felt more and more sleepy, and after a while, I couldn't open my eyes and fell asleep groggy.
In the haze, I opened my eyes.
I saw a blue sky, and under the blue sky was a blue ocean, and there were countless white seagulls flying above the ocean! The seagulls happily circled around a flat boat, on which stood an old woman of about seventy years old dressed in purple.
As the boat got closer and closer, I realized that this old woman was my grandmother!
When I saw my grandmother, I ran over to me, and she nodded to me and was standing next to me in a few moments. She looked at me with a kind smile and made me feel warm. Especially seeing her in such a picturesque environment, this is simply a rare fairyland on earth.
"Xiaoyuan, you're finally here."
Grandma seemed to know I was coming.
I don't understand.
Grandma explained: "You are worthy of being the heir of the Ma family, and you are worthy of being my good grandson." "My grandmother seemed to be happy with me, but I wasn't happy with myself at all.
I voiced the doubts in my heart.
When my grandmother heard this, she didn't get down to business, but asked me to see the island in the middle of the sea! She asked me, "Xiaoyuan, what can you see?" ”
I replied, "All I can see are mountains and water." ”
My grandmother nodded in satisfaction, and after a moment she asked me again, "What now?" What can you see? ”
I replied, "It doesn't seem like it's mountains and water." "My eyes were so gray that I couldn't tell what I could see, let alone the mountains and rivers.
Grandma nodded in satisfaction, and after a few moments, she asked me again, "What now?" What can you see? ”
I polished my eyes and looked closely, and I could see the mountains and water in front of me, and it was unusually clear!
I replied, "I can see the mountains and the water!" The mountains are very clear, and the water is sparkling and rippling. ”
Grandma was overjoyed and said, "It seems that you understand." ”
I nodded, I knew that what my grandmother was talking about was that the Song Dynasty Zen master Qingyuan Xingsi (Jingju monk) proposed the threefold realm of Zen meditation - to see the mountain is the mountain, and to see the water is the water; Look at the mountains are not mountains, and look at the water is not water; Look at the mountain is still a mountain, look at the water is still water.
The first realm is "to see the mountain is the mountain, and the water is the water"; The second realm is "to see that the mountain is not a mountain, and to see the water is not water"; The third realm is "looking at the mountain or the mountain, and looking at the water or the water"
Look at the mountains are mountains, and look at the water is water. In our eyes, everything is restored to the original, the mountain is the mountain, the water is the water, what we see is the real thing, and we don't think deeply, so we believe that things are what we see.
Look at the mountains are not mountains, and look at the water is not water. There are too many unspoken rules hidden behind the mask of hypocrisy, what we see is not necessarily true, everything is like seeing flowers in the fog, it seems to be real and illusory, it seems to be true or false, the mountain is not the mountain, the water is not the water, it is easy for us to lose our way in reality, and what follows is confusion, hesitation, pain and struggle.
Look at the mountain is still a mountain, look at the water is still water. Insight into the world is a reflection of the truth, but not everyone can achieve this state. The experience of life has accumulated to a certain extent, and I have a clear understanding of the world and the pursuit of myself, and realize that "the world is a big dream, and life is cool several times".
Grandma said: "People have seven emotions and six desires, and the seven emotions refer to joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, evil, and desire. The six desires refer to the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind. The reason why you are worried is because you are not confident enough in yourself. Zombies are scary, but they're just walking zombies! No matter how smart it is, no one is so thoughtful! If there's one thing about zombies' weakness, this is it! ”
My grandmother was analyzing her decades of research on zombies and how to deal with them for me.
"Xiao Yuan! Look at the mountain is still a mountain, look at the water is still water. What should be taught to you, grandma taught you everything before her death, and now what you have to do is how to break through your psychological barriers! Zombies are not scary, what is scary is the human heart! It's a twisted human heart! Grandma had a point, "If a person's heart is polluted, it is more terrible than any evil." ”
"However, it is about to evolve into the Immortal Bone Realm, how can I subdue it?" A flying zombie is already too much for me to deal with, not to mention that I may face a zombie that has evolved into a non-transforming zombie when I go out.
My grandmother knocked me on the head and said angrily, "Are you so unconfident? Do you know how your grandfather and Mao Xiaofang joined forces to subdue the zombie king Xuankui? ”
I shook my head.
Grandma sighed, "The two of them were worse off the back then!" And the conditions are not as good as you are now, and in the end they still succeeded in submitting Xuan Kui! And at that time, Xuankui was almost to the realm of drought fish! You should be confident! ”
Damn, Grandpa Taizu teamed up with a zombie Dao long-haired Xiaofang to subdue Xuan Kui, and he at least has a helper! I'm alone now, how can I be confident?
My grandmother seemed to know my difficulties, and she said, "Li Xiangyang, he is the helper left by your grandmother, and he may be able to help you in times of crisis!" ”
I was overjoyed, "It seems that everything is under my grandmother's control." Grandma, you are really the master of the strategy and decisive battle thousands of miles away, I admire you so much. I couldn't help but compliment my grandmother.
Grandma Zhengse said: "Although Li Xiangyang can help you, he is a ghost after all, and his mana is limited." It's all up to you. ”
I asked my grandmother, "How can he help me?" ”
Grandma smiled and said, "If you can see me, isn't he helping you?" ”
"Just help me?" I was very disappointed.
Grandma said: "After all, he is just a ghost, and he can only help him after all." And Huang Long is already old, his old man's spirit is insufficient, you must not pay attention to the critical moment, don't abuse the nine-character mantra, otherwise Huang Long will pass away, and it will be quite difficult to hold Chen Tianding. ”
"Can I use the Maoshan spell?" I asked innocently, because I really didn't know what to say at this point.
"You can do it yourself." Grandma said, "If necessary, you can teach some spells to the surviving villagers in the village, and they will at least be able to calm down against the zombies who are a little bit old." You're also a lot less stressed. ”
I memorized my grandmother's words.
Grandma smiled: "Xiaoyuan, you should go back, sleeping too long is not good for your health." When she said that, she pushed me into the water, and I immediately lost my voice and screamed, and this scream directly woke me up!
