Chapter 40: The Doom Comes
(Thank you friend Yu Jinkun for your tip~~)
It's not so easy to eat supper in New York, the bosses have to take into account security, of course, except for hotels with security, but Mu Qingcheng and Karina didn't go to the hotel for a big meal, and in the end they had no choice but to go to Times Square.
Times Square is a landmark in New York, the security is good, there are police patrols late at night, the two found a skewer shop, ordered a table of skewers, and a bowl of beef vermicelli soup for one person.
Karina was indeed hungry, regardless of the image of the big food, Mu Qingcheng was also hungry with his chest against his back, like a starving ghost reincarnated, eating a lot, and after a while, a table of food was swept away, and then he paid and left.
Mu Qingcheng sent Karina home first, and then took the subway by himself, and when he rushed back to the pharmacy, it was almost three o'clock.
Unlike in the past, when he was not sleepy in the middle of the night, at this time he only felt that his head was heavy and his head was dizzy, but he didn't think much about it, he just thought it was the reason for the excessive consumption of mental power, so he rarely didn't cultivate, hurriedly took a shower, and went to bed.
After this sleep, Mu Qingcheng felt wrong, they all said that the illness came like a mountain, and in an instant, he was sore, and the demon yuan couldn't lift up at all, he had a splitting headache, cold sweat, and there was an indescribable discomfort, he was sick!
However, he knew that it was not really sick, but a catastrophe.
"Heavenly Demon Policy" has only one main purpose throughout the whole text, that is, to become an immortal and gain the Tao, but unlike the traditional way of becoming an immortal, the Heavenly Demon Strategy highlights the magic word, enters the Tao with the devil, integrates Confucianism and Taoism, and does not distinguish between good and evil, good and evil.
Lao Tzu Youyun: I have a big patient, because I have a body, and I have no body, what is my trouble?
The meaning of this passage is that the human body is mortal, and naturally there are all kinds of diseases, and the demon body quenching is when the demon element is absorbed to a certain stage, almost in a full state, all the hidden diseases in the body are exposed, and all kinds of diseases and pains occur together, refining the flesh body furnace ding, once successful, like the furnace ding reconstruction, the life level is improved, and a completely healthy body is obtained, which not only prolongs life, but also refines the higher quality of the demon yuan, and enters the next stage of cultivation.
But knowing that Mu Qingcheng had no other way but to be stiff, gradually, his consciousness became more and more confused, and he had an urge to fall asleep, and he had a feeling that if he really fell asleep like this, he might never wake up.
Fighting against the sleeping demon, people who have not experienced it can't experience the pain at all, and now Mu Qingcheng is experiencing it, which can be roughly understood as that whenever he is about to fall asleep, he must forcibly wake himself up, and people with a little weaker willpower can't survive it.
In fact, it is best to have a master to protect the Dharma by the side, but Mu Qingcheng relies on himself, so it is extremely dangerous, he wakes himself up from the edge of sleep again and again, which is essentially a struggle between willpower and physical instinct, and he doesn't know how he survived.
I don't know how long it took, but a thought suddenly permeated my mind: greedy appetite for appetite and spleen and stomach injury, greedy for physical desire for kidney and essence deficiency, greedy for money and rich desire for heart and liver, desire but not sinking, love and hate without indulging, and not losing one's heart, this is the right way......
Mu Qingcheng seemed to have an understanding, recalling what he had done in the past month, the bits and pieces of his relationship with Karina lingering in his heart, the grievances with the FBI, the relationship with Li Bo and Lin Baoxiang, and the sound and smile of his parents......
Unconsciously, the sleepiness dissipated without a trace, although it was still riddled with illness, but the most dangerous moment had passed, and the rest was to survive, get through, and the sea and the sky would be wide.
Mu Qingcheng was lying on the bed, his eyes were gray and black, his eyes were red, but his mind was extremely clear, and he couldn't help but think of the problem of demons.
"Heavenly Demon Policy" is naturally a demon cultivation, the definition of demon is easy to understand, anything that contradicts reality is a demon, so, what is reality?
The reality is called Xuanqi in the Daomen, the elephant of the Dao, that is, the Dharma body of the Buddha.
The real one, not the false righteousness, the appearance of the non-appearance, refers to the language of the essence of all things, said the dharma, said the truth, said the reality, its body is the same, and the truth dwells as the meaning of the reality of all laws, then it is the reality, and the reality contains two major elements, one is emptiness, and the other is the relationship.
The "Diamond Sutra" says very thoroughly, everything has a way, like a dream bubble, like dew and electricity, and should be viewed as such.
That is to say, all the Dharmas are not eternal, the eternal reality is only the Dharma of non-action, and the demon is the reality of dividing all the Dharma, according to the understanding of Buddhism, it is not non-phase, nor is it non-phase, the reality is the absence of phase, and the demon is the phase.
At this point, it is already very clear that there is no distinction between good and evil between demons and Buddhas, but only differences in world views.
The Buddha believes that the world is infinite and eternal, while the demon believes that there is no eternity in the world, and that birth, old age, sickness and death are the true slander of the universe, and no matter how big the world is, there is a limit.
Therefore, it can be concluded that the devil is not naturally evil, nor is it naturally inferior to the Buddha, after all, there are only two criteria for judging the existence and non-existence, that is, emptiness and fate, and emptiness and fate are mysterious and mysterious, who dares to say that emptiness must be empty, after all, in the vacuum, there is still a vacuum zero energy and quantum force field.
And how far is eternity? Is there an end?
In short, the devil is just another system of practice that is different from the Buddha and the Tao, it pays attention to reality, and takes reality as the foundation of practice, but because it is too realistic, it is inevitable that it will be misunderstood by the mainstream as extreme and unscrupulous, so that it is not tolerated by the Buddha's way.
Mu Qingcheng didn't pay too much attention to the relationship between the Demon Gate and the Liberation Gate and the Dao Gate, after all, in this world, in addition to himself, it is difficult to say whether there are any cultivators, he only feels that his mind is a little confused, he feels that it is necessary to consult the Buddhist scriptures, and through the understanding of the Buddhist scriptures, promote the understanding of the "Heavenly Demon Strategy".
Soon, the night passed, the sky was bright, in the past, Mu Qingcheng had already gotten up, but now he was seriously ill, he could only lie on the bed, and his eyes were weak.
After a while, Li Bo, Lin Baoxiang and Li Qiuyan went downstairs one after another.
"Huh, why hasn't this kid gotten up yet?" Lin Baoxiang looked at the closed wooden door of the utility room and said in surprise.
"Hmph!" Li Qiuyan snorted coldly: "You don't look at what time he came back last night, during this time, he is getting more and more excessive, often fooling around outside, I don't think it will be long, I have to stay all night." ”
Li Bo waved his hand and said: "Don't say a word, it's normal for young people to lie in bed, cook first, make breakfast and then wake up Qingcheng." ”
The couple exchanged a slightly smug look, and when they entered the kitchen one after the other, they could all hear that Li Bo's words were a little dissatisfied.
Li Bo went out of the store and started health Tai Chi with one move at a time.
After more than 40 minutes, a hearty breakfast was served, with preserved egg and lean pork porridge, swallow dumplings, pumpkin pie, fried eggs, and xiaolongbao bought last night, and a bowl of soy milk per person, and a full table.
Lin Baoxiang looked at the time, frowned and said, "It's seven o'clock, this kid is still sleeping, what are you doing?"
Li Bo waved his hand and said, "Go and take a look." ”
"Hmm!" Lin Baoxiang nodded, walked over and pushed open the firewood door, and suddenly, a very uncomfortable smell came from the room.
This smell is not a foul smell, but an unhealthy smell unique to the patient, Lin Baoxiang sniffed his nose, and looked at it again, Mu Qingcheng's face was blue, Yin Tang was gray and black, and he was lying weakly, and he couldn't help but be happy in his heart, this was obviously sick.
'You deserve it!' Lin Baoxiang cursed secretly and called out: "Master, Qingcheng seems to be sick." “
