Episode 11 Chapter 1: The Absolute Master (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
What are you doing here? , the monk suddenly asked.
‘
Tang Xiaoyan said: "Disciple to learn meditation? ”
The monk went on to ask, "What do you do when you learn to meditate?" ”
Tang Xiaoyan said: "Martial arts are advanced, defeat the enemy." ”
The monk continued to ask, "When is the martial arts contest?" ”
Tang Xiaolou said: "There are still 22 days. ”
The monk said, "When you forget the purpose of meditation, when you forget these 22 days, we start to learn to meditate." When the mind has distracting thoughts and enters meditation, it only destroys and collapses.
Tang Xiaoyan was slightly stunned, and then said respectfully: "Yes." ”
There is no time in the mountains.
Tang Xiaoyan listened to the monk's lectures in the temple day and night, time seemed to stand still, and it seemed to pass like flowing water, and he couldn't see the day and night outside at all.
One day, the monk asked again, "How many days is left until the date of the competition?" ”
Tang Xiaoyan said blankly: "I don't know ........."
"Good ......," the monk said, "go out with me." ”
Then, open the temple gate, and the morning sun rises outside, and the morning light is everywhere.
The old monk took Tang Xiaoyan to walk on the snow, his body seemed to be very weak, and he had a little difficulty walking, but General Bandall said that he was one of the only grandmasters in the world in front of him.
Coming to the stone house he had seen before, the door was closed at this time, and Tang Xiaoyan asked, "Master, who lives in this house?" ”
"A slayer who laid down a butcher's knife." Master Dao.
"Is your martial arts cultivation very high?" Tang Xiaoyan asked.
"There are only a few opponents in the world." Master Dao.
Tang Xiaoyan was taken aback, and said secretly: "That is completely the top master in the whole world, maybe no less than the master of Prince Mei Jiyan." ”
Tang Xiaoyan hurriedly said, "Then can I come over and ask about martial arts?" ”
"When the door is closed, he is repenting and enlightening the scriptures, and when the door is opened, he can." Master Dao.
"He's so powerful, how can he be here?" Tang Xiaoyan asked.
"The murderer was captured by me, and it has been more than ten years since I crossed the evil here, and now I am half a disciple and half a friend." Master Dao.
Tang Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment, there were only a few opponents of that supreme master, but they were restrained and sealed here by the master in front of him for more than ten years, which shows how the martial arts cultivation of this master in front of him is.
Although he knew that it was frivolous to ask, Tang Xiaoyan couldn't help but ask in front of such a supreme master: "Does that master's martial arts cultivation have opponents in this world?" ”
"The old man is powerless at this time." Master Dao.
"What?" Tang Xiaoyan was surprised: "Why is this happening? But were you hurt in the battle with that senior? ”
"It's ......," the master said, "I forgot." ”
"Forgot?" Tang Xiaoyan was suddenly incredulous, and said in surprise: "How can you forget?" ”
"I don't want it anymore, I go into meditation for a while, and then I forget it," the master said.
Tang Xiaoyan stood in place in amazement......
"Let's go, I'll take you into the world of meditation."
………,……………………,………,………,……………………,………,………,………,…,…,…………………………
"To enter meditation, you must first be selfless" The master took Tang Xiaoyan down the mountain, talking while walking, Tang Xiaoyan was completely obsessed with entering, forgetting the time and the road in front of him, and unconsciously walked to the dark, and then to the dawn, and had walked hundreds of miles to the market.
Along the way, many people knelt on the side of the road and kowtowed after seeing the master: "Living Buddha and Holy Monk!" ”
"One sand, one world, one tree, one Bodhi. The world at this time is just the world you see in front of you. Everyone tries to see their joys and sorrows as everything in this world. In the bustling world, there are thousands of worlds of people and things, and everyone's joys, sorrows, and sorrows are extremely precious to themselves, but in fact they are as light as floating sand. Not only people, pigs, dogs, birds, and beasts, but they also have their own worlds in their eyes, and only by removing themselves from the world and entering a state of selflessness can they enter meditation and experience the world of others. ”
"How do I enter someone else's world?" Tang Xiaoyan asked.
The master jujube went to a stall for a poisonous snake show, a king cobra with no tooth extraction, two or three meters long, and let out bursts of roars, although trapped in the glass cover, passers-by still avoided it.
The master stepped forward, opened the glass cover, and reached out to take out the king cobra.
The king cobra suddenly became fierce, wrapped itself around the master violently, opened its fangs in its big mouth, and was about to bite off violently when it aimed at the master's face.
The master looked softly into its eyes, and after a moment, the king cobra froze slightly, staring into the master's eyes as well. Then, gradually, he quieted down, closed his mouth, put away his fangs, leaned down gently, kissed the head of the king cobra, and said gently: "If you want to enter other people's worlds, you must first see their worlds." They see the world through their eyes, and we see their world through their eyes. ”
"The snake is so close to me because I look into its eyes, I pity it, I feel it scared, restless, and sad. So, I empathized with fear, anxiety, and sadness, and these feelings were released through my eyes. The snake read my eyes and thought it had met its own kind. ”
The master brought the king cobra to Tang Xiaoyan and said, "Come, you try it." Remember, have mercy on it, stare into its eyes, let its eyes draw you in, see its world through its eyes. Feel how it feels, and then release those feelings through your eyes. Let it be able to read your gaze at this time, attract him with your emotions and gaze, so that it will treat you as if you were its kind. When you enter his world, it also thinks it has entered yours.
Its eyes attract you at the same time, but your eyes should attract it. ”
Tang Xiaoyan slowly closed his eyes to quiet his whole body and mind, and then opened his eyes again, staring at the pupils of the cobra snake.
Tang Xiaoyan is very afraid of snakes, he is afraid of all snakes, even small and non-venomous snakes. At this time, looking at one of the most ferocious snakes in the world, I couldn't help but feel a burst of creeps in my heart.
Its eyes are so small that it can barely see the face of its pupils, as if it were black, red, and green. Its gaze began to be suspicious, it became vigilant, the letter began to spit out, its big flat neck began to tremble, and its mouth began to let out a slight roar......
The master gently stroked its head with his hand, causing it to gradually quiet down, and then the master said to Tang Xiaoyan: "Remember, pity, full of emotion. Think of yourself as a snake, a snake that has been caught and lost its freedom, and imagine how you hatched, what you prey on for the first time in the grass. ”
Tang Xiaoyan abandoned his distracting thoughts, stared at the king cobra's eyes with full attention, and began to gradually send out this small pupil with a very special beauty, deep and pure, and then the whole spirit was forced to fall into this deep pupil, feeling the joy of its growth, feeling its anger and unwillingness to lose its freedom, and feeling its fear and uneasiness all the time.
The king cobra's daylight became more and more cloudy, with a little suspicion, a nervous and stupid sense of closeness, spitting out the letter and gradually approaching Tang Xiaoyan's face.
The master said it silently, and his other hand gently stroked its back.
The king cobra leaned into Tang Xiaoyan's face, hesitating to make a shallow touch.
Suddenly, Tang Xiaoyan saw a familiar figure in the crowd out of the corner of his eyes, and his mind was confused, as if he was very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.
"Roar" The head of the king cobra fell as if it woke up suddenly, and then it suddenly hissed angrily, its eyes turned red, and it suddenly opened its bloody mouth, and Lu pointed out its hideous fangs at Tang Xiaoyan's face and was about to bite it off.
The master did not directly pinch the neck of the king cobra, but quickly stopped his palm between Tang Xiaoyan and the king cobra.
"Don't be afraid, don't be fierce, don't be dry," the master said softly, the king cobra closed its mouth at the last moment, gently rubbed the master's palm with its head, and then turned its head around the master's shoulder and closed his eyes and ignored Tang Xiaoyan again.
"Snake xing is suspicious and vigilant, it is difficult to succeed again after this failure." The master was not annoyed, took out a string of silver ornaments from his bosom and handed it to the stall owner of the viper performance, and said, "How about I exchange this thing with you for this snake?" ”
"Okay, good, don't dare, don't dare" The stall owner folded his hands and saluted.
"I'm sorry master, I just saw a familiar figure flashing by, and I was immediately distracted, making it fall short." Tang Xiaoyan said.
"It's okay, it's okay," the master said: "Snake xing is suspicious, and it's not easy to be trusted." is not like cattle, sheep, chickens and dogs, and it has a kind of closeness to people. Moreover, it was only a slight attempt, and it did not necessarily have to be successful. ”
"Yes, Master." Tang Xiaoyan glanced at the bustling crowd again, and could no longer find that moving and gorgeous figure, so he completely left her behind and listened to the master quietly.
………,………………,
Next, the master took Tang Xiaoyan to the herdsman's house and came into contact with the puppies, cattle and sheep. stayed in the herdsman's house for two days, and finally under the reluctant gaze of the puppy who cried and chased for several kilometers, the master took Tang Xiaoyan to the wild grassland. To get in touch with wild cattle and sheep, wild birds and eagles, and finally to contact wild and ferocious highland wolves.
I eat and sleep every day, I am in contact with animals every moment, I am in the world of animals every moment, I forget the time, and even forget to count the sunrise and sunset.
Gradually, the king cobra that almost bit Tang Xiaoyan got under Tang Xiaoyan's stomach when he slept one night, and the next day he was coiled on Tang Xiaoyan's shoulder, sometimes squinting and pretending to sleep, sometimes looking left and right, and the previous uneasiness and fear all disappeared.
Finally arriving at a wooded area full of hot springs and dense forests, the last stop of their trip is where they release the king cobra.
It was very cheerful and reluctant, and quickly swam around Tang Xiaoyan and the master, and then burrowed into the dense grass. Just as Tang Xiaoyan and the others were about to leave, it quickly drilled out again, and its huge and long body quickly rolled around Tang Xiaoyan's body and circled up, then raised its neck, shrugged its little head, and its two small eyes were only two inches away from Tang Xiaoyan.
Tang Xiaoyan didn't deliberately imagine, didn't deliberately fantasize about himself as a snake, just looked at him with a friendly smile and teased a little.
"Roar" The king cobra suddenly hissed, opened its big mouth and closed it hard at Tang Xiaoyan's nose, and when it was about to bite, it only gently touched the tip of Tang Xiaoyan's nose with the snake, and then quickly spun down, and disappeared into the dense grass again.
It's very cunning......
………,………,………,………,…………,
A few days later......
After the master took Tang Xiaoyan back to the temple on the top of the snow-capped mountain, he entered his room and entered the retreat again.
"In the past few days, try to understand everything about your opponent. Remember every word he said, remember every action he made, remember every expression he made, remember every encounter he encountered. ”
"His heart, his thoughts, are up to you. His movements, his martial arts trajectory, you can go to the person in the stone house on the right, there should be no martial arts and tricks in the world that he can't understand, let him come up with a set of methods for you to crack, and then you will enter meditation and defeat your opponent in meditation. ”
