Chapter 55: Enlightenment

Jiuhua Mountain, Tianlong Temple.

Legend has it that the Buddha spoke for his disciples on Vulture Mountain, and King Brahma offered golden Polo flowers to pay respect. The Buddha showed the crowd with flowers, and the disciples didn't know what they meant, only the Venerable Canaan smiled at the moment.

So the Buddha happily announced, "I have the Dharma Eye, the Nirvana Mind, the Reality without Appearance, the Subtle Method, and the one who puts a smile on the Mahakasa leaf is pure and pure."

In the eyes of the Buddha, the Buddha's flower action is as beautiful as a picture, the eyes of the Buddha are pure and not mixed with any evil thoughts, everyone does not know what the Buddha is doing, only the Buddha is treated with a pure heart, and only sees the beauty of the flower, so he only smiles for the beauty.

"Senior Brother Ran!" Master Lichen said slowly: "Xiao Zhi has been in the Void Dark Realm for six days, and he still hasn't woken up, if he hasn't woken up after today's time, I'm afraid he will ......."

"Amitabha! The darkness of nothingness is from nothingness, all scenes are illusory, and all darkness is emptiness. Just like the Buddha's finger of flowers, only by discovering with the heart can we discover the beauty behind the ugliness and the light behind the darkness. The abbot clasped his hands together, "It depends on him for merit and creation." I'm ready to face the wall for 100 years. ”

The night is boundless, and there is no end to it.

For a long time, for a long time, Li Zhi slowly opened his eyes, and it turned out that he was overly frightened and fell asleep.

It was still dark, and I couldn't see anyone else or myself. There is no change of sun and moon here, and there is no passage of time, so Li Zhi did not find out that he had been here for six days.

The only good thing is that mortals will never feel hungry here, and they will be able to survive forever.

In the real world, this may be what many people dream of, but in this dark environment, being alive is an ordeal.

Li Zhi lay on the ground with his back to the sky, and in the face of this endless darkness, he no longer had the courage to find an exit.

He closed his eyes and remembered something from his childhood.

That was the first time Li Zhi met a butterfly.

Waving her beautiful wings, pink butterflies flutter among the flowers, like a graceful girl.

"Mother, look at that flying thing, it's so beautiful!" Li Zhi pointed to the dancing butterfly to show his mother.

"Silly boy, that's a butterfly. The mother touched Li Zhi's head and smiled.

The butterfly lingered among the flowers for a moment and then flew away.

Li Zhi chased after the butterfly with staggering steps. The butterfly flew into the flowers again, and Li Zhi also followed into the flowers, jumping up and down to chase the butterflies.

Such a scene of "lingering and playing butterflies" is really the happiest memory of Li Zhi's childhood.

But in the end, the butterfly still flew away, and Li Zhi, who didn't catch the butterfly, looked frustrated.

"Mother, the butterfly flew away!" Li Zhi said with a sad face.

"You'll see it again. The mother touched Li Zhi's head, then pointed to a bug on the tree and said, "Ash, you see, the butterfly was transformed from that bug." ”

Li Zhi didn't believe it, he lay down in front of the insect and took a closer look, and then said in surprise: "Mother, how could such a beautiful butterfly be transformed by this ugly insect?"

The mother chuckled and said, "Whether it's true or not, it's up to you to observe carefully." ”

That is, from that day on, Li Zhi began to observe the changes of the insect, no matter whether it was windy or rainy, whether it was sunny or cold, except for eating and sleeping, Li Zhi kept staring at the insect.

As the schedule progressed, the insect crawled more and more slowly, and finally stopped motionless on the branch.

Moreover, its body slowly formed a cocoon, wrapping its body in a clump and becoming a pupa worm.

In the past, watching the insects crawl around, Li Zhi thought it was quite interesting, but now that this insect chrysalis is staying there motionless, Li Zhi seems a little upset.

"Whether it's true or not, it's up to you to look closely. ”

Li Zhi wanted to give up several times, but remembering his mother's words, he gritted his teeth and persevered, waiting for the moment to break the cocoon.

Finally, he noticed that the chrysalis was moving.

At first it was only a slight tremor, but later, the chrysalis seemed to show signs of rupturing.

The morning breeze blew, and a drop of dew hit Li Zhidi's forehead, but he didn't know it, because it was about to be the time to witness the miracle.

Slowly, a hole broke at one end of the pupa and a bug-like thing stuck out its head and struggled to burrow out the chrysalis.

Looking at the insect that had completely burrowed out the pupae, Li Zhi said disappointedly: "What, isn't this still an insect ......" Before he finished speaking, he saw the insect shake its body, and its two big pink wings spread out in the air, colorful and cute.

The butterfly flapped its wings a few times, then gradually flew away from the branches, flew into the air, and finally disappeared.

Li Zhi ran towards his mother not far away, shouting excitedly as he ran: "Mother, what you said is true, I saw the butterfly born!"

The mother greeted her and said softly to Li Zhi: "Child, don't be fooled by the illusion of appearance, there will always be a beautiful butterfly living in your heart!"

He slowly opened his eyes and sat up from the ground.

"Child, don't be fooled by the illusion of appearance, there will always be a beautiful butterfly living in your heart!" Li Zhi read this sentence softly, then sat cross-legged and closed his eyes again.

Like a raging fire, Li Zhi felt as if he had been thrown into a fire pit, and the pain was so painful that he was about to open his eyes.

"There is no heaven and no earth, there is no earth and no body, there is no body and there is no form, there is no form and there is no self. The creation of heaven and earth feels that it is invisible. The realm of melting* is empty and lonely. ”

Li Zhi silently read these words in his mouth, gradually calming his heart, feeling the distance and emptiness of nature, and comprehending the magic and true meaning of heaven and earth.

Suddenly, he felt himself fall into a polar ice cave again, and the temperature plummeted, dripping into ice.

Streams of cold currents poured in from all directions, and the feeling of burning all over his body just now was long gone, and a thin layer of frost had already formed on his face, and he was about to turn into an iceman.

In the perilous situation around him, he is trapped in his body and confused. The breeze turns into rain, and the regrets are mixed. The calm of the rest of the mind is integrated with nature. I feel that my life is resting, and I am united in all laws.

The recipe flashed in Li Zhi's mind again, Li Zhi took a few deep breaths and exhaled, his mood calmed down again, and the frost on his face and the ice crystals on his body gradually melted.

......

In the real world, Li Zhi, who was lying on the bed, was sweating profusely, his body was also twitching violently, and his whole body was glowing with purple light, as if he was very uncomfortable.

At this time, the face of the abbot was full of anxiety and joy, it seemed that he had broken through the void and darkness, and was undergoing various trials and tribulations.

"But there is only one stick of incense left, and after a stick of incense, it will be difficult for him to wake up even if he is a Daluo Immortal. Master Lichen said.

"Life and death, reincarnation is endless. Whether to wake up or not depends on his understanding. The abbot said slowly. The Gentleman Juyi Hall Honghuang Divine Sword
