Yi Ersan, this name is an existence that can keep him awake at night for the abbot of Zhanshan Temple.

At one time, the abbot of Zhanshan Temple thought that his Zen skills had entered the point of not being moved by external objects, but with the appearance of Yi Ersan, he had self-doubts, and with the appearance of Yi Ben Shu, he knew that his Zen skills might not even be done.

Now facing Yi Ersan again, the old abbot feels that it is the Buddha who has given him the opportunity to practice Zen Gong.

The retreat practice is not a complete absence of outsiders, and the first retreat practice often needs someone to guide you, whether it is for the elderly, or for the sake of practicing Zen Gong, the old abbot of Zhanshan Monastery is willing to give guidance to Yi Ersan in the practice of this retreat.

"The abbot hasn't seen you for a few days, how are you doing?" Yi Ersan hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

The old abbot did not sit upright to accept Yi Ersan's salute as before, he quickly got up and saluted: "You are a disciple of the old man, and you are not inferior to the old man in terms of seniority, there is really no need to be like this." ”

"The age is here. Yi Ersan still insisted on saluting and said, "Pretending to be a senior, this kind of thing is not suitable for me." ”

The old abbot found that after not seeing him for a few days, he liked this young man called Liuzi more and more, and if the average young man had a good generation, why not take it out and use it vigorously? This young man can still maintain a normal state of mind, and he is worthy of being a young man with high Buddha nature.

Pity...... It's a pity...... The old abbot sighed in his heart, a good material who is obviously a disciple of Buddhism, has actually become a disciple of Taoism?

"Come, come with the old man. The abbot bowed to the left, turned around and left with Yi Ersan, leaving the number one master of the seaside city here and no longer doing anything.

After looking at the state of the abbot, he knew that the other party would not go crazy and wanted to enter the Buddha Gate, so he felt that there was not much to pay attention to, so he turned around and left to go about his own business.

The abbot took him to a small meditation room with two beds, two futons, and two wooden fish.

"In the days that followed, you and I started from here. The old abbot said to Yi Ersan, "Today we will walk around the monastery, and next day we will start retreat." ”

Yi Ersan thought that he would retreat immediately when he arrived at the temple, but he didn't expect this to be the case, but he didn't ask for retreat in too much hurry, and walked around the temple very casually.

Perhaps it is because of the continuous appearance of Buddha light in the temple a few days ago, the incense of Zhanshan Temple is a little more vigorous than usual, and the abbot has not returned to the meditation room.

Yi Ersan found this abbot very interesting, not everyone asked him and he answered, only when he looked at the other person, he would take people to the place where Buddhist goods were sold and point out a certain item.

Sometimes it's expensive, sometimes it's cheap.

Everyone who received the guidance would bow to the abbot with thanks, and then happily invite back the objects that were related to them.

If someone else did this, Ijisan would definitely think that the other party was a liar.

But this happened to the old abbot, and Yi Ersan always had a feeling that this old monk could indeed see that some people were destined for certain objects here, so he would guide them to take them away.

The day passed quickly, and Ijisan looked at the various conditions in the temple, and found that although he had been to the temple many times, he had never found many scenery and things here that he had not seen.

It was just dark, and the old abbot had already returned to the room to get ready to rest, so Yi Ersan was a little surprised again, what time was it? The group of children who wanted to go to the all-night Internet café had not yet gone to the Internet café, and they were already going to sleep here?

"You should go to bed early, and you have to get up at three o'clock in the morning to do morning class." ”

The old abbot's words made Yi Ersan ask more: "What time is it?"

"Three points. ”

After the old abbot finished speaking, he stopped talking to Yi Ersan, and was already lying on the bed ready to rest.

Don't you meditate? Yi Ersan really wanted to ask, didn't he say that the monks could meditate and sleep directly, and did not need to lie in bed?

"A man should lie down and sleep. The old abbot closed his eyes as if he had seen through Yi Ersan's thoughts and said, "Lying down and sleeping is also a kind of practice. ”

Yi Ersan felt that this time was a little early, and he didn't feel sleepy at all while lying in bed.

"Being able to fall asleep is also a kind of practice. The old abbot dispelled Yi Ersan, who was just about to get up and play two games of King Glory, with a word.

"Then sleep. Yi Ersan lay down again, all kinds of thoughts were churning in his mind, and it took a lot of time for him to fall asleep.

As soon as the time of three o'clock came, the old abbot had already gotten up, and shouted to Yi Ersan and said, "Dress and fold and wash, go to the main hall to chant in half an hour, and then pass the hall ......."

Yi Ersan yawned and stretched his waist, he was very uncomfortable with this kind of routine, if he hadn't known that this was a retreat, he would have slept again a long time ago.

At half past three, there were already many people gathered in the main hall to chant sutras, and the people here seemed to be a pure individual practitioner, and there was no surprise change because of the appearance of the abbot, everyone still did their own practice.

Yi Ersan found a place to sit down and began to recite the Diamond Sutra, which took more than two hours to read.

Then, with the old abbot, Yi Ersan began to 'pass the hall', that is, to enter the hall to eat, and before entering the hall, everyone had to tap the fish board and cloud board in the corridor.

This strange rule made Yi Ersan look very curious, and he found that there was no one in the entire hall who spoke, and the food and quantity needed by the cultivators here were all with special gestures.

Fortunately, Yi Ersan had the bonus of starting Bodhi, quickly wrote down everyone's gestures, quickly analyzed what those roughly represented, and then chose the meal he wanted to eat.

After the lecture comes the teaching.

This is the understanding and preaching of the Dharma by the senior monks, Yi Ersan sat down and listened quietly, he knew that his understanding of the Buddhist scriptures could stand up directly and discuss the scriptures with the other party, but he also knew that if he did that, it would not be a retreat, and what he had to do now was just to do it.

After the teachings, it's time to walk the feet, which is called walking meditation.

The old abbot said to Yi Ersan, "If you choose an object or a thing, for example, you choose how your skin feels, then whatever you are doing, just feel what changes your skin has. For example, if you want to feel pain, or if you want to feel the wind or anything in the world, you should concentrate on feeling it, walking, lying, and sitting to feel it carefully, and feel everything about it. ”

Yi Ersan didn't ask why, just did as the old abbot said, he turned and left, and began to walk around the temple, thinking in his mind which way he should choose?

Feel the wind, feel the clouds, feel the light, or yourself?

Yi Ersan hesitated for a long time, but finally thought about choosing blood from the perspective of cultivation.

This is the biggest difference between Yi Ersan and all D-level cultivators in the D-level, and it is also the biggest capital after entering the C-level in the future, if he can also improve in this aspect in this practice, it will naturally be the best thing.

Yi Ersan began to walk quietly in the corridor of the temple, wanting to feel the blood in his body, but found that the more he wanted to be quiet, the quietness he entered was just the kind of silence he preset, it was a subconscious saying to himself, I want to be quiet, I am quiet now.

It's a big, big distance from the real quiet.

How to enter the real silence and feel the blood in the body? Yi Ersan couldn't figure it out, and at the same time began to understand why the old abbot asked the old abbot to take him into a state of retreat, which he couldn't understand no matter how much he studied.

Yi Ersan walked like that, did he not work hard and not be attached to the quiet at the beginning, and it would be easy to enter?

Soon, Iersan realized that this method did not work, he knew that he had to find the quiet, to find the feeling blood in the quiet, as for what was the use of doing this?

Yi Ersan walked in the temple over and over again, and he found that some of the people who practiced here were obviously ordinary people who did not have any strength in them, but that person had just entered the feeling of a quiet self-world.

Concentrated, how to concentrate? Yi Ersan didn't know, he was just walking, trying to feel.

That's it...... In the middle of the walking meditation, he went to a new round of meditation, and after lunch, he sat in retreat.

It's not about meditating on your knees to chant sutras, it's about doing whatever you want, feeling what you want to feel, chanting, or even sleeping......

In short, it is a stage of complete self-cultivation.

Yi Ersan chose to feel, although he could feel the flow of blood, but what was the use of feeling this flow, he couldn't figure it out, and he only felt it, and he didn't enter the quiet feeling of others.

After meditation, there is chanting, and after chanting, there is copying.

The people who practice here are copying the scriptures, and Yi Ersan is naturally copying the scriptures, and at this time he did not perform the dragon elephant prajna skill, nor did he turn the swastika in his body, nor did he recite the scriptures silently in his mouth, but just quietly copied the scriptures, like the most ordinary people copying the scriptures.

In this way, Yi Ersan spent the first day of the retreat.

When the practice was over, Yi Ersan's sleep this night was much easier than the previous day, but getting up at three o'clock still made him very painful.

That's it...... Yi Ersan entered the second and third days of retreat.

In the first day or two, Yi Ersan was still telling himself to practice quickly, the wasteland seemed to be about to open, and if he entered the C-level cultivation, he might still have the opportunity to enter the wasteland to have a look and open his eyes.

Soon, however, he became completely immersed in a state of retreat and began to get used to this almost mechanical cycle of practice.

Be quiet......

On the third day, for the first time, he finally entered the real quiet, in which he forgot that he was only walking, that everything seemed to be gone, that everything seemed to be there, and that the blood was not flowing but was flowing.

Yi Ersan felt the flow of blood, it was fast and slow, although it seemed to have a very stable frequency, but each time it flowed, it had a completely different power and frequency.

He began to feel a drop of blood in this blood, and the whole person was like that drop of blood flowing in the veins, and that drop of blood was like a boat in a big river rising and falling.

That drop of blood is like a person, and all the blood is like a world, and they are ...... together But they are not together, they make up blood, just like human beings make up society, but people are separate individuals, just like this drop of blood, it is just a drop of blood in blood.

Blood generates power, and blood carries oxygen......

For the first time, Ijisan saw oxygen in his blood, which sends oxygen to different organs in his body......

Yi Ersan didn't have time to feel what state his body was in at this time, he just felt the blood and began to understand the changes in the blood...... I began to really understand the biggest difference between Grade B and Grade C.

He knew that if he was not stimulated by the essence blood and led by, he would not be able to feel the difference between the two or the evolution direction of the body even if he walked.

He felt the blood, felt the power in the blood, and wanted to find his own true power in the blood, just like Daddy's data grabbing evolutionary ability.

But when he searched, he found that even in this drop of blood, it was as difficult as searching for that drop of water in the vast ocean.

Buddhism has a saying that there is a sand and a world, and Yi Ersan really felt the true essence of Buddhism for the first time at this time, and a drop of blood was like an ocean......

A bell rings......

Yi Ersan knew that it was time for zazen, so he raised his head and fixed his position, and then quickly walked towards the direction of zazen practice, without the slightest irritability in his heart that was shaken by the sound of the bell to feel quiet.

Day 4......

Yi Ersan quickly entered the quiet feeling again, he searched for the drop of blood he felt yesterday, and after searching for a long time, he chose to give up, but chose a new drop of blood to follow the feeling.

The new choice is like a new life, Yi Ersan is not slow to walk in a quiet state, he walks...... Unconsciously I heard the sound of the surging waves in the blood.

This is a new feeling! Iersan didn't feel the surging power of the ocean in his blood, but he heard the surging sound...... The voice made him subconsciously manipulate his blood.

In the past, if you wanted to control your blood, you needed the help of True Qi to do so.

This time, Yi Ersan didn't need any assistance from True Qi at all, and he was able to find that he could manipulate the blood, although this manipulation was very rusty and difficult, but for the first time, the blood began to obey his thoughts.

It was another surging of the sea, and Yi Ersan suddenly felt that the sound was not coming from blood, but from outside his body.

He subconsciously opened his eyes, and everywhere he saw was the endless sea!

I didn't know when I walked out of Zhanshan Temple in the middle of walking meditation and came to the seaside step by step...... The sound of the waves he had heard before was from the outside world, but he was too immersed to notice it.

At the moment when he opened his eyes, Yi Ersan's mind set off a monstrous wave, and he found that the world he saw at this moment, the sea he saw at this moment was different from before!

The blood in his body shook violently the moment he opened his eyes and saw the sea!

This earthquake instantly assimilated with the sound of the waves of the surging sea outside the body! It was like resonance! It was like one!

The shock of this blood drove the true qi in the body to shake!

During these few days of retreat, Yi Ersan, under the leadership of the abbot, temporarily gave up the practice of True Qi.

The vibration of true qi was the first time in the past few days!

The blood resonated with the great tremor of the true qi, and Yi Ersan felt that a certain valve in his body seemed to be opened, and a force was born from the two chakras that had been opened, and the skeletal muscle meridians were also like opening the valves in this vibration, and a force appeared from different places.

The vitality between heaven and earth was also swallowed by the whale of the body at this moment.

Body Treasure Trove! Yi Ersan instantly realized in his mind that this was the body treasure trove that Zuo said! Except for the lack of accumulation in the D level, he had already reached the apex, and there were two ways to advance.

One is to keep absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth, and impact to the next realm step by step!

Another way is to open the treasure house of the body!

Obviously, this second path is the best way! That's why retreats are like this!

D-level 3rd stage, D-level pinnacle......

Yi Ersan felt that the power in his body was soaring one after another, it was the power released from the treasure house of his body, and it was the full body of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi......

Class C!

Yi Ersan's body shook, and the bottom of the sea was ...... Open!

PS: There is a second one a little later.
