Chapter 22: Reflections on Life and Death (2)
"Good, good. Master Ling really had great wisdom, and he had comprehended many truths in this world overnight! It was really gratifying and congratulating. In this way, the monk can be regarded as a complete merit. It's just that I don't know what the monk has to say, would the donor like to hear it?" said the monk.
"If the monk has something to say, how can the juniors not listen to it?" Please also point out the maze...... Ling Xingnan said.
When the monk heard this, his face was extremely calm, and the Buddha name in his mouth was announced, and he put his hands together on his chest and said: "Fang is in chaos today, and in troubled times, the change of dynasty is coming." The heroes of the world are gathered recklessly, and the people will suffer from the fire and disaster of war...... Now that a hundred years have passed, it is also the period when demons are rampant and the evil sect is coming back. At that time, the demon sect and demons will stir up bloody storms again, the righteous path of the world will be ruined, and the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty will be shattered and dripping...... In the past 200 years, the righteous path sects have long been accustomed to a leisurely and uneventful pattern. I'm afraid, I'm afraid, looking at the whole world, there are not many people left who can still remember the words 'Drinking Evil Blood Palace', right?"
Ling Xingnan heard what the monk said, and he understood some of the words, the Tang Dynasty has indeed been broken over the years, the government and the opposition are traitorous, the officials are cruel and unkind, and the people are full of complaints. But when it comes to this rampant demon, the comeback of the evil demon faction, and the unheard of 'Evil Blood Drinking Palace'...... But he didn't know what to do at all!
Therefore, he had to ask with curiosity: "Divine monk, what you said about the rampant demons and the return of the evil demon sect...... And what kind of 'Drinking Evil Blood Palace', what the hell is going on? The younger generation has indeed never heard of it!"
When the monk heard this, he sighed, and then took a deep breath, as if he was very reluctant to talk about it, and as if he was struggling to remember.
"Alas, this demon rampant means that in troubled times, there will be demons who will harm the Quartet. The evil demon sect is the evil and evil power that some people from the side of the door have spied on and controlled the evil and evil forces in the world, intending to turn the world upside down and act perversely. As for the 'Evil Blood Drinking Palace'...... But it is the most strange, ordinary people do not hear of its name, only the cultivation of the truth and a few people in the martial arts have heard of it; this 'Drinking Evil Blood Palace' has disappeared for hundreds of years, and even their existence or not is still a rumor, no one has ever seen it, and as for the things that do not belong to this world, there is nothing to say......?
When Ling Xingnan heard what the monk said, the more he listened, the more frightened he became, and when he reached the end, he was already sweating on his forehead......
He didn't believe it, couldn't believe it, what he heard could be true?
In fact, this natural world is all-encompassing, the universe is numerous, there are thousands of illusions, all living beings, and there are no wonders!
Since the opening of the heavens and the earth, there is the principle of yin and yang reincarnation, and the theory that the five elements are easy to count. It is said that everything in the world is nothing more than the hybridity of yin and yang, and the five elements are mutually reinforcing.
It is for, one odd and one even is the number, and one yin and one yang are the way.
The number is also, the Tao is also;
Time also, life also.
In nature, only the unknown and unsolved mysteries can be called strange.
However, there are some things, believe it or not, it exists, but the way it exists, the place where it exists, and the time and space of existence are different.
Therefore, there are many things in the underworld, and you can't help but believe them!
Ling Xingnan was shocked and said, "What the monk just said is full of strange things. The younger generation was shocked and uneasy when they heard it...... Since ancient times, there have been ghosts and demons in this world, the way of the five elements of yin and yang, and the art of Yili Qimen, so mysterious, so weird and vain, is it true?"
The monk chuckled and said, "The donor doesn't believe it at this time, just because you haven't experienced it yourself. But...... When the time comes, there is no way to avoid it. ”
Ling Xingnan sighed: "That junior only hopes that he will never meet him...... However, if you really encounter it, you can only face it calmly. ”
The monk said: "Amitabha, the donor is destined to be different in this life, but you must be mentally prepared...... Many things in the world happen inadvertently. You have to remember to be obedient to the heavens, to help the world, to be boda, sincere, and calm to do your best, and to be happy...... As you said, in the days to come, you will wander in the rivers and lakes to see the world, and wander in the world to live with the audience. Eliminate demons and defend the way, save the people in the world, you can't avoid it...... It is your mission in this life! Remember, remember. ”
Ling Xingnan didn't seem to understand, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "How can the junior be able to bear the responsibility of destroying demons and defending the way and saving the common people in ......the world?"
When the monk heard this, he pronounced another Buddha horn and said, "Good, good." Why did Master Ling Shi need to be so unable to see himself clearly? This martial art and ability need to be improved in cultivation and tempered, and multiplied in hardships and hardships. In this world, who has great talents and skills in the world has not gone through countless hardships and trials to cultivate the supreme method......"
After listening to the monk's words, Ling Xingnan's face was embarrassed, and he said abruptly: "Yes... Thank you for reminding the monks, it's the younger generation who is stupid......"
"The benefactor has the mission of eliminating demons and defending the way and saving the common people in the world; if there is no great wisdom and courage, if there is no great martial arts, how can he achieve the mission? Lao Na has been obsessed with Buddhism and martial arts all his life, exhaustively studying the opportunities of heaven and man, and has no choice but to be extremely irreversible in life and death, and the alternation of the four seasons, birth, old age, sickness and death is the eternal alternation law of nature...... Lao Na already knew that his time was short, and it was a fate to be able to get acquainted with the donor for the rest of his life. Maybe, for the sake of the common people in the world and less slaughter, and for the sake of my little selfish wishes. Lao Na will pass on to you what he has learned in his life...... I'm afraid that you and I only have this one day to gather in this life, and how much you can learn can only depend on your understanding and creation...... And before sunset to-day, you must leave this place, and you must go north, as far as you can. ”
Ling Xingnan became more and more confused, what was this mysterious monk talking about, because he found that this monk seemed to have something unspeakable, perhaps deliberately trying to hide something......
Saying that time is running out, how Ling Xingnan looks at the monk in front of him doesn't seem to be anything wrong. It was indeed older than when he saw it half a month ago, and the monk seemed to be a little older. However, this is only reflected in a few more wrinkles on the monk's face...... But his body is still strong, his voice is mellow, and he is full of energy, not at all like an ordinary person who is a hundred years old.
The day is short, as if it were just a flick of a finger.
Ordinary people have too many days, and their time seems to be inexhaustible.
Extraordinary people have spent a hundred years in one day, and their thirst for time is never enough.
What can you do in a day? Ordinary people may not have thought about this question!
The very human being is, how much can I do in a day?
In one day, Ling Xingnan encountered a big problem. He wants to spend a day learning and comprehending the martial arts of this mysterious exotic monk.
Can he do it? Is it possible?
Who knows?
At least, one thing is true. Ling Xingnan followed behind the mysterious monk and entered another natural grotto. From the beginning of the rising sun to the sunset of the western mountains, they did not come out again......
Time is passing minute by minute. It doesn't stop because of someone, and it doesn't stop because of something. It is fair and ruthless. The only difference is in people.
Soon, the sun slanted a little more, and the light of the setting sun dimmed a lot. In the distance, the sky was a faint fiery red, mixed with red, yellow and white fish-scale clouds, as if embedded in the sky.
At this moment, two people came out of the grotto.
The first to come out was the monk, and the one who followed closely was naturally Ling Xingnan.
The monk walked out of the stone room and let out a long breath, as if he was very sad.
"Today's sunset is so beautiful...... It's a pity that the sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk. ”
When Ling Xingnan heard the monk say such words, he seemed to have a bad feeling in his heart. He didn't speak, just stared at the monk silently.
The monk didn't notice Ling Xingnan's expression at the moment, sighed again, and said, "Child, you can leave quickly...... You and I are here in this life!"
When Ling Xingnan heard this, his heart trembled violently, and he almost choked up. He only grunted in his throat, and he didn't know if he was answering, or if he was talking something.
But at this moment, in the half month of getting along with the monk, thanks to his careful assistance and the great grace of his inheritance (although the two only have a one-day master-apprentice relationship, but this day has made Ling Xingnan have a radical change. )......
Now, he was about to leave after saying this, and Ling Xingnan didn't even know the name of this monk......
Will he go with peace of mind?
Would he have left so easily?
At that moment, Ling Xingnan seemed to have made a great deal of determination. He slowly knelt down to the ground towards the monk's back. After bowing to the monk three times, he said sadly: "The monk has the grace of reinvention for the younger generation, and only blames the younger generation for its shallow fortune...... There can only be one day of master-apprentice relationship with the monks, but one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a teacher, please accept three bows from the disciples. Although the monks do not recognize me as a disciple, in the hearts of the disciples, you will always be my mentor...... Today, the disciple will say goodbye, I will always remember the teachings of the teacher, and I hope that the teacher will take care of him......"
The monk seemed to have become a stone statue, just quietly staring at the remnant sun in the distant sky, and his body did not move.
After a while, he said, "That's it, you can go......
Ling Xingnan stood up slowly, and he looked deeply at the monk a few more times. He looked at the figure of the monk bathed in the sunset, and his eyes gradually blurred, I don't know if it was because the sun's light was too dazzling, or because his eyes were moist......
