Chapter 250: Bitter Meditation Mantra

"You don't know anything. I complained, and then remembered something, "By the way, didn't I give you a copy of the Tao Te Ching? You said that there are some Taoist methods recorded on it, and there are any formations similar to this 'array within a formation', maybe you can find a solution." ”

"yes, you let me see. As he spoke, he took out the Tao Te Ching and began to read it.

I couldn't help on the side, and I couldn't read most of the things written by Xiao Zhen, so I went to bed and lay down thinking about my own thoughts. After thinking about it for half an hour, he got up and asked Wuchen: "Have you found it?"

"It's not that fast. Wuchen said listlessly, "There are a lot of things written in this that I don't understand. And it's not written by one person, everyone writes in a different style, and it's hard to figure it out. ”

"Forget it, forget it, you better sleep first, let's talk about it tomorrow, there's nothing to rush anyway. Remember to take a good look at how to detain the soul in my chain, I plan to put the soul in Ye Linglong's body. ”

"Why?" Wuchen looked at me with puzzlement and amazement.

"No...... I paused, feeling too unkind to him, "I'll tell you the reason later, and go to bed." ”

"This is my house. ”

I recalled, yes, so I said, "I'm trapped in the 'Trapped Dragon Array', how do you know if it's true or not, do you want me to go out now?"

"No need, you can sleep in bed, I'll deal with it on the table, I'm going to meditate anyway. ”

Yes, he said earlier, I don't feel so much guilt.

When I woke up the next morning, I was dazed, and the sunlight outside the window was so bright that I couldn't open my eyes.

"Master Mu. You're awake. ”

It was the sound of the breeze, and I was awakened all at once, completely awake.

"Qingfeng, was I in your house last night?" I looked around, in fact, except for the Tianzi No. 1 room and the Dizi No. 1 room, the other rooms all looked similar.

"No, this is the room of the dustless chief, he went outside for morning class, and I will stay here for a while. ”

"Oh, scare me. I thought I was in your room last night. ”

"If you're in my room, you won't be able to stay. ”

"What's wrong?" Could it be that Mingyue also made the room the same as the toilet?

"My brother snores at night and grinds his teeth. Where can I sleep. Qingfeng said plaintively.

At first, we thought it was unsafe for him to live alone, and it was too wasteful for a teenager to live in a room. It's not that we don't have money, but we feel that there are other guests to stay, and we can't take up too much resources. At that time, Mingyue took the initiative to ask for a room with Qingfeng, and we also considered that he would be safer with someone by his side. I didn't expect it to be like this.

Looking at Qingfeng's tired face and dark circles, I was also a little unhappy. But I don't know how to comfort him and let him sleep a little more during the day. You don't have to go to work. When I was in college, one of the guys in my dorm room was snoring every night, and the snoring was so tangled that I didn't feel sleepy when I heard it. And he fell asleep as soon as he went to bed every night. I snore as soon as I fall asleep, and I don't know how many dark circles I have under my eyes in my four years of college.

"Then you can sleep in a dust-free room, and I'll go out to breathe. I got out of bed and was a little embarrassed to lie on the bed when I saw him sitting there.

"Master Mu. What's wrong with your eyes?" Qingfeng asked me suddenly staring into my eyes.

"What's wrong with my eyes?" I saw Qingfeng's serious appearance, and I was also a little suspicious, and blinked vigorously twice. It doesn't seem to hurt or itch, let alone can't see.

"Your eye seems to be covered with a layer of moisture. Qingfeng said, pointing to my right eye.

"Water vapor?"

When he said this, I closed my left eye, and I really felt that my right eye was a little blurry. Probably because both eyes are open together, that blur is masked by the clear left eye.

"Well, you wait, I'll let my junior brother come over and have a look. ”

"Oh......" I tried to stop him, but he had already run away.

When Mingyue came in, her eyes were still closed. The breeze pushed him in the back, and he cursed in front. After drinking so much wine, how can there be a reason not to sleep enough, and now the sun has only just come out for a while, and Mingyue will definitely not sleep enough.

But when he saw my eyes, he seemed to wake up immediately.

"Mu Wu, where did you get this?"

"I don't know, haven't I been with you all these days, I'll do whatever you do, maybe I'm sick. ”

"It's not sick. Mingyue Zhengse said, I rarely see him so serious, "You are making people plant a 'bitter Zen mantra'." ”

"What is the Kuzen Mantra?" I was confused by him, isn't this the formation of the "Yin and Yang Dao"? How did it become a "Kuzen Mantra" when he got here? Is it a Taoist priest or a monk?

"The 'Kuzen Mantra' is naturally a mantra that evolved from Kuzen. Mingyue explained, "You know Kuzen, right?"

"Knowing a little, not very clear. ”

"Patriarch Bodhidharma knows, right?"

"That's very famous, I know the allusion of his 'crossing the river with a reed'. "Indeed, Patriarch Bodhidharma is the most admired person in the warrior monk world. Just like the warrior monks of Shaolin Temple, they have to pass the assessment every year to enter the Dharma Academy. When you arrive at the Dharma Academy, you have the opportunity to learn the truly superior Shaolin martial arts.

"Patriarch Bodhidharma is a native of Southern Tianzhu, who went to the Central Plains to promote Buddhism during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. At that time, he was at odds with Emperor Wu of Liang, crossed the river with a reed, arrived in Luoyang, and placed an order in Northern Shaolin. He once spent nine years facing the stone cliff in Northern Shaolin, and finally realized Mahayana Buddhism. He has two disciples, one is the 'Wise Man' Hui Ke and the other is the 'Walker' Hui Guang. ”

Mingyue began to tell me about Patriarch Bodhidharma. I saw that Qingfeng was starting to get sleepy again, and with a reluctant face, I pulled Mingyue to his room. Let him tell it, I like to hear stories. Anyway, there are some things that can't be rushed.

"Do I snore very loudly at night?" Mingyue asked me, "A seven-foot man, what does it matter if you snore when you sleep!"

He's still a little reluctant, how can I say, "How do I know if you can fight or not, you can go on quickly." ”

"The wise man Hui Ke was gifted and intelligent, and he read the scriptures and books, and was deeply loved by the Bodhidharma Patriarch. After Bodhidharma passed away, Hui Ke inherited his mantle. But he has no way to innovate, and it seems that he will never be able to break through the achievements of Patriarch Bodhidharma, and can only be in his Buddhism. The walker Huiguang may not be as talented as Huike, but what he has is perseverance and sincerity. Huiguang felt that if he wanted to make a breakthrough, he had to absorb the strengths of each family, and his approach was to travel, but he traveled to Kyushu without any money. He is also an ascetic. ”

Later, the practitioner Huiguang finally realized the Tao in East Putuo Mountain, and stayed there to become the abbot of East Putuo Temple. Hui Ke has been staying in Northern Shaolin, he knows his achievements, he can become a high monk, but he can't become a generation of grandmasters like his master Patriarch Dharma. It wasn't until later that he realized that he was too obsessed with attaining enlightenment, which was also a kind of demon. ”

So the wise man Hui Ke learned from his master Bodhidharma Patriarch to think about the wall, and in order not to be disturbed by the outside world, he used his own skills to close his six senses. In this way, you can fully immerse yourself in self-practice. He didn't sleep or eat or drink so much, and in three years, he finally broke through the invisible confinement of his master, Patriarch Bodhidharma. ”

"When he woke up, he was in good spirits, but he had already withered because he had not slept for three years. He felt that the reason why he was able to realize the Tao was entirely due to his closed six senses and not being in contact with the outside world. So he reduced the method of closing the six senses to a mantra. ”

This practice of closing the six senses must be very painful, so he called it Kuzen, and the mantra that closed the six senses was called the 'Kuzen Mantra'. ”

They said that Hui Ke had closed off his six senses for three years, without eating or drinking, how did he survive? Could he really have an immortal body? Or was the matter of Hui Ke closing the six senses apocryphal? But I was indeed sealed from the six senses. I think there may be an allusion to Hui Ke's bitter meditation, but it is impossible for him to go without eating or drinking for three years, maybe three months.

Obviously, the mantra of bitter meditation is not just something that can be used on oneself when you are participating in meditation and enlightenment. If you want to harm someone, you can apply this mantra to others. ”

"Do you know how to use this bitter mantra?" The story is finally finished, and Mingyue is also talking about it, which is very rare for a monk with five big and three thick wine and meat. He knows the allusion to the Kuzen mantra, and he can also see that I have a Kuzen mantra, and I'm afraid he also knows how to unravel it. I've waited a minute.

"I don't know. (To be continued......)
