Chapter 47 Only the Dead Can Keep Secrets

"Every practitioner who has been summoned to come has asked the same question, but I don't have an answer here. Or, can you get rid of the demon, what are the means of the follow-up, and how to open the black hole...... There's no answer to any of these from Senior Brother, right?" Master Tree sighed, "Let's talk about the disciples who died to keep the secret—I confess, I killed them, and they are the disciples I admire the most. Each of them was willing to sacrifice their lives to defend Tashilhunpo Monastery, and if it weren't for the shallow foundation, they would even be willing to follow the Seventy Wise Men into the black hole to fight. In the end, they chose a different path, just like me. The enemy will surely covet the treasures of Tashilhunpo Monastery, and everyone who knows will be tortured to extract a confession. I think none of them are afraid of death, but not all of them can stand that test. Once someone confides in the news, not only will the treasure be plundered, but the black hole will be opened at the same time, and the Rakshasa witch will be released, causing the Tibetan land to fall into the devastation. What is a personal tribulation compared to the great tribulation that the world is about to suffer?" Tree Master asked.

Guan Wen could not answer, the essence of this question is actually "sacrificing the small self and achieving the big self", if we use the example of war to explain, it will be easier to understand -- in every battle, scouts, bait, suspicious soldiers, vanguards, and the latter may be killed first, and the chance of retreating from the battlefield is very low, but these five types of people are indispensable. They are the guarantee of victory, and it is precisely because of them that the large army can advance and retreat in an orderly manner and destroy the enemy's main force.

"Have you asked them what they really think?" Guan Wen asked.

The Tree Master asked rhetorically, "So, have you asked me what I really think?" Did they ask me what I really thought? Do I have any other choice in the face of the catastrophe? I am their master and must be responsible for their future. Will you become a wise man of light who is worthy of the Buddha's mysteries all your life, or a dark fool who will die of guilt and confiding in his secret under the torture of his enemies? It was all in my thoughts. Guan Wen, if you were me, would there be any other choice?"

Guan Wen was speechless, because he remembered countless wars in ancient and modern times, China and foreign countries. When the enemy is outnumbered, the enemy cháo floods in, and the defenders always save the last bullet or the last grenade for themselves, preferring to die standing with a smile on their face than to die on their knees as a greedy and fearful captive.

"Maybe you're right." Guan Wen weighed it in his heart for a long time, and finally reluctantly admitted, "However, Fenghe has always been obsessed with the knife he received before his death, and he can't let it go." ”

"I know her, because the big people have taken her to Tashilhunpo Monastery several times, trying to awaken the knowledge in her mind by revisiting the old place. However, she was entangled in personal gains and losses, and her mind was blinded, and even if she came to Tashilhunpo Monastery hundreds of times, she would not be able to have an epiphany. Her real name is Zedang Dele, a baby boy picked up by a sweeping monk at Tashilhunpo Monastery and converted to the temple all her life. Some people are born with a clear mind, and they can realize the truth and mystery of Tibetan Buddhism without igniting; Some people are naturally stupid, and even if they open thousands of Buddhist scriptures, they always stay outside the threshold of the Dharma. Zedondeler undoubtedly belongs to the latter, otherwise, he will definitely be your helper in slaying demons......"

After changing the angle of observation, Guan Wen instantly understood that Fenghe was only the lowest practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism, and he could not even let go of his "self", so how could he talk about attaining positive results and becoming a "great self" with the world in mind? In the same way, the master of the Vulture before the epiphany regarded the fragments of the thangka as treasures, and his eyes were only focused on "piecing together the thangka and finding the great treasure". However, Master Vulture finally came to his senses, and the rainbow flew away in the flames, and his life was complete with no regrets.

"Well, you've finally had an epiphany, and it's gratifying." The Tree Master said happily.

There was no need for Guan Wen to open his mouth, Master Tree had already seen through his thoughts.

In an instant, Guan Wen's ideological realm rose to another level: "Senior, everything in the world doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, cultivators can only make up their minds, take the elimination of demons and guardians as the ultimate goal, overcome thorns and thorns, clear a qiē interference, and go straight to the end of the light." In the process, any obstacle will surely be removed without hesitation. Regardless of whether the obstacle is a person or something else, one must obey the 'exorcism'. The blocker is a ghost, beheaded; Blocking people, cutting ......"

After figuring it out and seeing through it, Guan Wen felt that his mind had been infinitely expanded, and he was able to accommodate all the universe and space, ancient and modern times.

If you look at the four billion people in the world, each one is a grain of sand, and it will not work alone to fight against foreign invasions. Only by gathering sand into a tower, and everyone taking on their own mission, can we gather great strength. In this process, the fittest survive, the unfit are eliminated, and there is no doubt that Fenghe is the type of person who should be eliminated.

The Tree Master kills people to "keep secrets and eliminate demons", just like a gardener who removes weak seedlings from a nursery, with only one purpose, to eliminate the chaff and achieve the goal faster and more accurately. In extraordinary times, only extraordinary means can be used, and only in this way can we be the most efficient and correct.

"Very good, very good, I am relieved that you can understand this." The Tree Master finally smiled, but only for a few seconds, and then his face, clothes, and body began to decay and split, falling in wisps until they fell like a sandcastle under the impact of cháo water.

"Senior, senior, senior......" Guan Wenlian shouted a few times, and suddenly found that he was in the hole of the tree, and his soul had returned.

The night was still deep, with dark clouds covering the sky and mist, and everything was hidden in the heavy darkness.

The Tree Master disappeared, but the Tree Master's voice remained: "You must have seen the 'Black and White Thangka of the Great Freedom Void Realm', right?" The voice asked.

Guan Wen nodded, knowing that the other party must be talking about the mandala painted on the roof that he had just seen when he woke up. Although it is only a black and white plain sketch, it can make people lose themselves in an instant, and slowly integrate with the soul, confused and trance, unable to distinguish things. It seems that the real pinnacle of painting skills should be and can only be "to confuse the real from the false, and to distinguish between the real and the false".

He replied respectfully. "Yes, senior."

"That thangka is the closest to success. Drawing it is the ice and autumn cold from the land of white mountains and black waters in the northeast of the mainland, who was famous in the Asian painting world for painting dragons and tigers and fighting beasts, you should have heard of him, right?"

Guan Wen nodded, he had indeed heard of the name of Bing Qiuhan, the painter became famous thirty years ago to raise tigers, paint tigers, and love tigers, and was the leading tiger painter in the three eastern provinces. According to historical records, after Bing Qiuhan became famous, he lived in seclusion alone in Daxinganling for ten years, and then disappeared. It turned out that he actually went to Xizàng and became a disciple of Master Shu.

"The layout of the mandala painted by Bingqiu Han is magnificent, the structure is flat and stable, and there is a faint image of an emperor. The tiger is the king of beasts, and he has lived with the tiger for a long time, so he is naturally contaminated with the overlord of the beast. I thought that he would be able to go one step further, draw mandalas with real colors, and continue to study and become a pioneer in the eradication of demons. Who would have thought that he would be obsessed with the black and white world because he fell in love with a Hong Kong woman who came to Tashilhunpo Monastery on pilgrimage, and would never use any color again. He told me that no matter how beautiful the color is, it can't compare to the woman's picturesque eyebrows, and no matter how beautiful the mandala world is, it can't compare to the woman's looking back and smiling. It is a pity that he loved the woman so much, but the woman suddenly left Tashilhunpo Monastery and disappeared. In the end, Bing Qiuhan fell to his death from the cliff at the top of Mount Niseri because he missed the woman too much, which was really a pity. The Tree Master couldn't help but sigh as he spoke.

Guan Wen gradually understood that all the souls who stayed in the thangka room were losers who had drilled the horns of the bull, and they could not get out of the strange circle of life, nor could they let go of their worries and enter the six realms of reincarnation, and could only live in the cracks of the embarrassing world of truth and falsehood. There is so much in common between the world of the Dharma and the worldly world, and if you are too persistent, you will trap yourself until you die.

He recalled that when he first entered Tibet, he was obsessed with the Yiqiē in the Tibetan temples, from the broad and profound essence of Tibetan Buddhism to the gorgeous and classical Tibetan ornaments, and he couldn't wait to open his arms and take all the things he loved into his arms, so that his mind was thinking about these things at night, and he couldn't sleep and sleep. When he was allowed to enter Tashilhunpo Monastery to paint the Buddha statues, he was once again given a great surprise, and he was fascinated by the Buddha statues in each temple, and he devoted all his time to the temple from dawn in the morning to dusk in the evening.

That kind of riddle is almost obsessed, and when the obsession comes to an end, it must be crazy and will not end well.

At this moment, he is like standing on a high place overlooking the labyrinth, and he can see clearly the detours he has taken. When he became obsessed with painting, he forgot the goal of his life and painted for the sake of painting, completely ignoring the pursuit of life before entering Tibet.

"Senior, I understand." Guan Wen said calmly.

"Are you sure you want to practice the art of skeleton thangkas?" Tree Master asked.

"As long as it is useful for 'eliminating demons', I am willing to accept it, and devote myself to cultivation, and never die." Guan Wen replied solemnly. After seeing through his past, he has risen to the highest level of wisdom.

In the thirty-third chapter of the Tao Te Ching, it is said: Those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are clear. The winner is powerful, and the self-winner is strong. Those who are content are rich, those who are forced have ambitions, those who do not lose their place for a long time, and those who die do not die.

Before tonight, Guan Wen couldn't get started in life practice, and he couldn't even "know others wisely, and those who know themselves are clear". After some conversation with the tree master, he has reached the realm of "the victor is powerful, and the self-victor is strong". As for the tree master, he has entered the supreme realm of "the life of the dead and not the dead".

"Before I teach you the art of the skeleton thangka, I must tell you that this is a road of no return, and no one has succeeded in it before. It's too late for you to turn back now, and I respect everyone's choice. Master Tree told me again and again.

Guan Wen nodded firmly: "Senior, I am ready, and I will never regret it."
