Between heaven and earth, a violent wind suddenly blew. The closer he got to the dark core, the stronger the wind became, almost blowing Lin Xuan upside down.

His mind repeatedly reminded him of those who had just died in the middle of the journey, and they kept reaching forward, proving that they had not forgotten their purpose at the last moment before they died. It can be seen that the goal they are pursuing is extremely attractive.

"To get there, that's where they're going. I am not only the mission of the organization, but also the hope of all of us to go deep into the darkness and uncover the final answer to the puzzle. Lin Xuan told himself in the wind.

After walking for another half an hour, Lin Xuan vaguely saw that the white lotus flower was swaying in front of him.

His tired legs immediately gained strength and sped up.

Finally, he reached the place where the white lotus grows, and it turns out to be a huge pool of extremely shallow water, in which all the white lotus grows. Under the backdrop of green lotus leaves, each white lotus looks so graceful and luxurious.

The wind is quiet, and the white lotus stands like a fairy in white, boundless, and there are tens of thousands of flowers.

Lin Xuan sniffed, and the air was filled with the cold fragrance of white lotus.

"Anyone? Anyone? He subconsciously raised his breath and shouted.

There was no response from anyone around, and when he looked up, the darkness formed a thick black dome dozens of meters high above him.

He could no longer move forward, and if he walked any further, he would have to step into two feet of water.

When he looked closely at the bottom of the pool, he found that the bottom of the pool was full of ice cubes, and the branches of the white lotus were drilled out of the ice.

Lin Xuan exclaimed: "Only the white lotus that grows in the ice cube can truly be called ice clear and jade!" ”

At this moment, he no longer wanted to explore the world under the ice, but just quietly enjoyed this moment of tranquility alone.

I don't know how long it took, and suddenly there was an ethereal and melodious woman's singing voice opposite Bai Lian.

Lin Xuan stood up and looked around.

In the depths of the White Lotus, there are more shadows and shadows than people passing by.

Lin Xuan raised his voice and shouted, "Who is there?" Can you show up? ”

In his subconscious, he always felt that it was the "people" who set it all up, so he had to meet the "people" before he could start communicating.

There was still no echo on the other side, Lin Xuan no longer hesitated, rolled up his trousers, and stepped into the pool.

The water was slightly cold, but not to the point of freezing cold.

"Everything is an illusion!" He whispered to himself.

In fact, this is the pinnacle of the Great Snow Mountain, dripping like gold, where is it possible to have such a large pool of shallow water?

He strode forward and waded into the water, parting his hands from the white lotus, and walked towards the place where the song sounded.

Soon, he was surrounded by white lotuses layer upon layer, unable to find his way in front of him, and lost his way back behind.

The song rises again, suddenly in front, then in the back, sometimes on the left, and sometimes on the right.

Lin Xuan stopped and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "In the past, Yi'an Jushi was lost in Xiting at dusk, so there was the eternal swan song "Like a Dream Order". I am lost here today, what can I leave behind? ”

Li Qingzhao, a Yi'an resident, said in "Like a Dream Order": "I often remember the twilight of Xiting, and I am drunk and don't know the way back." Returning to the boat at night, he strayed into the depths of the lotus flower. Fighting, fighting, startling a shoal of gulls and herons. ”

This beautiful order was praised by the literati and scholars of the Southern Song Dynasty at that time, and it was a masterpiece.

In the lotus pond, if you want not to be fascinated by the lotus, the best way is to turn yourself into a lotus, forget about things and me, and assimilate them all.

Lin Xuan's strong heart suddenly had a little softness, in fact, everyone loves a peaceful and stable life, there is food, singing, beauty on the side, and a painting boat...... In the past, the king of the Northern Song Dynasty crossed to the south and set the capital of Hangzhou, and fell into the infamy of "the warm wind smoked the tourists drunk, and Hangzhou was regarded as Bianzhou", that is, the result of paying too much attention to pleasure and completely forgetting the responsibility on his shoulders.

Looking at himself, Lin Xuan knew that he didn't have the right to rest and enjoy himself for the time being. In other words, no matter in troubled times or peaceful times, responsible men are always not at rest, and they must be prepared for danger in times of peace and be fully prepared for the future.

Enduring hardships in the first and enjoying in the back is a hero's life creed, "the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world" is the lofty quality that a big man should have.

"The flowers are good, but I'm not here to see the flowers, if there are people, please show up and see you-" Lin Xuan shouted angrily.

In his shouting, the white lotus in front of him automatically separated, revealing a straight path two meters wide.

Lin Xuan didn't move forward, but hesitated slightly.

The white lotus is lovely, but everything in the world has its two sides, and the opposite of the sunny is the haze. In the same way, the opposite of the road is a rugged and dangerous road, and there is no such thing as a safe road in the world.

He stroked the white lotus near his left, and the fragrance of the lotus flower lifted his spirits.

The famous work in history that praises the lotus flower should be the Northern Song Dynasty physicist Zhou Dunyi's "Ai Lian Said", he praised the white lotus "out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons", just for these two sentences, the literati and writers of later generations are unmatched.

With a snap, a brilliant spark suddenly burst out from the lotus flower closest to Lin Xuan. Together, the sparks illuminate the petals of the lotus.

Lin Xuan clearly felt that the petals were covered with fine and complex lines.

Looking more closely, he felt that those lines constituted a strange and complex mandala.

Mandala, transliterated in Sanskrit as "mandala" or "manda" or "manda". According to Buddhist scriptures, when practicing the Dharma in Indian Esoteric Buddhism, in order to prevent the invasion of foreign "demons", the boundary line or earthen altar was built at the place of cultivation, and the statues of Buddhas were set on it, indicating that the Buddhas gathered or the wheel was round and sufficient. Later, the altars set up and the boundaries demarcated during the practice were called mandalas or mandalas, which constituted the basic framework of mandalas in later generations, and evolved into various forms and types of mandalas. As the source of the structure of the universe, the mandala is a model of the various dwellings of the deities and their dependents.

Lin Xuan has been in Tibet for three years, and has seen hand-painted mandalas of extreme beauty in major temples more than once.

Those who can be responsible for the work of painting the mandala are all old painters with decades of experience in Tibetan decoration painting, and the brushstrokes are cautious and exquisite, depicting the mandala god realm vividly and breathtakingly.

The mandala is shaped with three-dimensional or flat square and circle geometric shapes, and is molded or painted with statues of gods, representing the mandalas and palaces of the gods, which is a metaphor for the structure of the Buddhist world. Due to the different contents of the Esoteric practice, the form and content (ornaments) of the mandala are also different, and they are extremely complex. In order to facilitate people's practice, later generations made mandalas of different styles and sizes with materials such as gold, stone, wood, clay (earth) and painting methods according to their contents, so as to represent different Buddha worlds, and displayed them in the Buddha hall for visualization.

What Lin Xuan saw now was a colorful mandala painted on a white lotus petal.

The petals are like the best snow-white canvas in the world, and the mandala is spread out on it, and the solemn atmosphere is about to come out.

"How so? Being able to draw a mandala on a single petal is a miraculous skill that no painter can do—" Lin Xuan rolled his eyes and found that the petals of the white lotus had four layers, and there were about forty petals, each of which was painted with a different form of mandala.

Thinking deeper, who drew tens of thousands of white lotuses and hundreds of millions of mandalas? This is no longer a task that humans can accomplish.

Lin Xuan clasped his palms together lightly and bowed quietly to the first lotus flower he found.

The Buddhist scriptures say: One sand and one world, one flower and one Buddha country.

He hopes that what he sees with his own eyes is the true face of this dark world, removing all disguises and facing the cruel truth.

The white lotus represents the righteousness of Buddhism, and the darkness represents the evil and evil paths. Since ancient times, black and white cannot be opposed, so the establishment of these mandalas must be to promote the Dharma and destroy evil spirits, which is a matter of great benefit to the people of the world and the whole earth.

"Thank you for the inspiration." He whispered to the holy lotus.

He remembers that many Buddhist texts mention the microcosm of "one sand and one world".

The Huayan Sutra says: The Buddha is born with five-colored stems, a flower and a world, and a leaf as it comes. A flower is a world, a tree is a floating life, a grass is a paradise, a leaf is as it comes, a sand is bliss, a pure land is a party, a smile is a dust, a thought is quiet.

The Buddhist scriptures say: One sand is one world, one flower is one paradise.

The volume of the "Sanskrit Net Sutra" says: Lushena Buddha sits in the thousand-leaf lotus, transforms into a thousand Buddhas, and lives in the world of thousands of leaves, and the Buddhas in each leaf world transform into tens of billions of Buddhas, sitting on the Bodhi tree.

"Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra": The Buddha told Manjushri, such as the three thousand worlds, all the plants and trees, the forests, the rice, the hemp, the bamboo reeds, and the dust of the mountains and rocks. One thing, one number, one Ganges. One Ganges sand, one sand and one boundary. Within a realm, one in the dust. Within a catastrophe, the amount of dust accumulated will be full of catastrophe.

"The Diamond Sutra is Explained in the Second Volume": Ganges sand and other Ganges sand. One sand and one world land. All sentient beings. Each with one mind. There are several kinds of minds. If you come to purify your eyes. It's all known.

Lin Xuan is a person who is very good at reading the Bible, and after reading it, he wrote down all the subtle words and meanings in it, and engraved it deeply into his mind.

If you just read the Bible in a muddy way, but you can't take it back to nourish yourself, then it really becomes reading a dead book and reading a dead scripture.

Lin Xuan pondered silently, and turned his body into another kind of mandala, organically fusing with the mandala in the traditional sense of Tibetan Tantra.

In Tibetan Tantra, the body is visualized as Mount Meru, the Buddhist Mount Meru at the center of the world.

Visualize the four continents of the four major continents – the East Sheng Divine Continent, the South Ganbu Continent, the West Niu Cargo Continent, and the North Julu Continent. Buddhists use these four continents as the continent that surrounds Mount Meru.

Visualize fingers and toes, etc., which are eight small continents - Buddhism is surrounded by two small continents from each of the four continents like satellites.

Visualize the head as the ground where the deity dwells.

Visualize your eyes as the sun and the moon.

Visualizing one's internal organs as offerings and all kinds of joys to this "mandala of the body" – we can see that human introspection also constitutes a mandala. This is the prototype of the universe, that is, the prototype of the Dharma realm.

In this situation of deep introspection, Lin Xuan entered the world of the White Lotus Mandala in a flash, standing in front of a large splendid palace.

Of course, he didn't rush in, because he didn't come to Tibet for tourism or treasure hunting, but just to complete a certain job.

"You can't succeed because there's no basis for your success here." In the void, it was as if someone was whispering so disdainfully.

"What is a foundation?" Lin Xuan asked rhetorically.

He doesn't admit defeat in anything, and it is precisely because of this spirit that he is what he is today.
