Chapter Seventy-Six: Empty
"You deceive people too much. www.biquge.info"Yuan Zhongkui finally became furious, his long sword came out of its sheath, and it instantly stabbed at Xuan Ku.
Xuan Ku didn't know if Yuan Zhongkui was really carried away by anger, but that killing sword was with endless murderous aura.
Xuan Ku smiled, he didn't take Yuan Zhongkui's sword seriously at all, with Elder Jiehui present, as long as he didn't do anything with others, no one could touch him.
While!
Yuan Zhongkui's sword, when he was about to stab Xuan Ku, was easily blocked by Senior Brother Xuanqing's two fingers.
"Why should the donor be angry, if you want to learn from others, if you want to see the kung fu of Tianjing Temple, let the poor monk accompany you to learn. Xuan Qing's tone was very flat, but Xuan Ku could tell that he was already angry.
Xuan Ku is a disciple of Tianjing Temple, even if he is stubborn, he should be dealt with by Tianjing Temple, and Yuan Zhongkui actually killed Xuan Ku in front of the monks of Tianjing Temple, which is obviously challenging the face of Tianjing Temple.
"Master Xuanqing, this is a bad word. Xie Changkong, who had been watching the play, suddenly spoke, "If there is a small fight between children, we old guys should not interfere." ”
"Child, look at the age of this original donor, he should be in his fifties, is it too inappropriate to bully a thirteen-year-old child like this, Xuan Min, you can accompany the original donor to have a discussion." Xuan Qing snorted coldly.
"Yes!" Xuan Min agreed, and said to Yuan Zhongkui, "Master Yuan, please." ”
Xuan Min and Yuan Zhongkui are of the same age, but his cultivation is an acquired achievement, and it is not a problem to abuse Yuan Zhongkui.
"Wait. Xie Changkong stopped their fight and said coldly, "Since you want to fight, this kind of petty fight is too boring, why don't you set up a ring in Scenery City in a few days, so that the disciples of the two factions can really fight, how about it?"
"I'm not interested, Tianjing Temple still has a lot of things to deal with, and the poor monks have left. Elder Jiehui, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke, and after speaking, he strode away with Xuan Ku.
"Yes. Xuan Ku agreed, and said to the old beggar of Qingzhu by the way, "The apprentice retreats." ”
"Well, if you have a chance in the future, Master will teach you some more kung fu. The old beggar of Qingzhu looked at Xuan Kudao with a smile, and there was a hint of pampering in his tone.
"Uncle Shi walks slowly. Several young disciples of the Qingzhu Sect also hurriedly gave their respects, although they were reluctant in their hearts.
When Xuan Ku was leaving, he naturally didn't forget to take Luo Rong away.
It's just that Luo Rong didn't know what the three elders of the Fengyuan faction had done, and he was really like a puppet, letting Xuan Ku hold him in his arms, and there was no movement at all.
"Elder Jiehui, after a month, the old man will set up a ring in Scenery City, and the Buddhist and Taoist Alliance will be invited to participate, and please be sure to participate. Looking at the back of Xuan Ku and the others leaving, Xie Changkong said with a gloomy face.
For Xie Changkong's invitation, Elder Jiehui only left a loud, "Hmph!"
"A bunch of things that don't know how to lift. Xie Changkong snorted coldly.
Today's incident made the Fengyuan faction lose face, Xie Changkong hated Xuan Ku to the core, and Xuan Ku did not explain to him and the three elders' comrades, which also made Xie Changkong uncomfortable.
"Xie Changmen, do you think that the old beggar is also a thing that doesn't know how to lift. The old beggar of Qingzhu glanced at Xie Changkong coldly, and after finishing speaking, he took his disciples and others and left without looking back.
The purpose of his coming to the Fengyuan Sect was to help Xuan Ku, and everything was done, he was not interested in arguing with Xie Changkong here.
An hour later, Xuan Ku returned to Tianjing Temple.
Yes, their speed is so fast, it takes three days to gallop on horseback, and on the back of Elder Jiehui, it only took an hour to fly all the way, which is still taking care of those disciples who have a slightly lower cultivation, otherwise the speed will be even faster.
A congenital master, flying in the sky, is a cow.
The cow is a cow, but Xuan Ku is not happy at all, because after Elder Jiehui brought him back to Tianjing Temple, he didn't say a word, and directly threw him on the cliff of Siguo in the back mountain.
Facing the wall for ten years, and not leaving Tianjing Temple for the rest of his life.
This is undoubtedly a cruel punishment for Xuan Ku, ten years in prison, and a lifetime grounding, but he also saw it, anyway, even if there was no such punishment, he would not leave Tianjing Temple.
As a celestial wolf descendant, he has long made up his mind to always accompany the ancient Buddha in this life and stay away from the red dust.
The only thing that made him feel at ease was Luo Rong.
Luo Rong was taken by Elder Jiehui for healing, and it was not difficult to cure Luo Rong with the medical skills of Tianjing Temple and the abbot's ability.
Xuan Ku sat cross-legged on the edge of the cliff, facing the sunset, looking at the clouds and clouds, enjoying the breeze, his heart was quiet, and he thought back to the bits and pieces of the past month or so, and he seemed to have an understanding in his heart.
Life in the world is nothing more than birth, old age, sickness and death, what joys, sorrows, sorrows, love and hatred, but just a passing cloud, money, power, desire, is only like a flash in the pan, although it can bring people temporary joy, but in this joy, there is also endless pain.
What people pursue all their lives is only like a floating cloud, illusory and ethereal, at most it can only be like the sunset, although it is beautiful, but it is only fleeting.
Before this, Xuan Ku had been unable to understand some questions.
What are the pursuits of Buddhism and Taoism?
Eternal life?
But there is always an end to human life, death is painful, and no one can avoid it, and people live nothing more than sit and wait for death.
Waiting for death is more painful than death, and since waiting is so painful, the effect of immortality is nothing more than prolonging the time of suffering.
What is life and death?
Xuan Ku couldn't understand, since death is death, then why live forever?
Buddhism emphasizes that the four major beings are empty, but if everything is empty, what is the meaning of a person's existence? If a person does not even have the meaning of existence, then what is the meaning of eternal life and rebirth?
Taoism emphasizes quiet and non-action, but if there is non-action, can it also be considered that the existence of human beings is meaningless.
Birth, old age, sickness and death, joys and sorrows, money and power desires, although they are all fleeting, but if there is no these, what is the meaning of life, if you don't even pursue these, is that person still a human being?
There is no doubt that the four emptiness are also a kind of pursuit, and quiet inaction is also a kind of pursuit, but if people have a pursuit, how can they be empty? Is it still inaction?
But now, he doesn't bother with these problems.
In the Buddha's view, these things are all illusory and empty, but emptiness does not mean that there is none.
Between heaven and earth, it is precisely because of the emptiness that all things can be accommodated, the sun, moon and stars, mountains, rivers, plants and trees, birds and beasts, and it is precisely because of the emptiness of the universe that there is space for existence.
The same is true of the human heart, the heart is vast, like the void, because of emptiness, the heart can be boundless, because it is boundless, it can contain all things.
It is precisely because of the emptiness of the human heart that it can tolerate joy, anger, sorrow, love, and hatred, with these, people are called people, if the emptiness is really understood as nothing, what is the difference between people and mountains, rocks, grass and trees.
Pursue emptiness, but not attachment to emptiness. There is pursuit, but not obsession with pursuit. This is the realm of a Buddha.
At this moment, Xuan Ku truly realized the wisdom of the Buddha.
"Empty!" Xuan Ku closed his eyes and gently spat out a word in his mouth.
But this gentle word is indeed like a morning bell at dusk, deafening, resounding throughout the world.
At this time, it was dinner time, and the sound shocked the entire Tianjing Temple, but the monks were not only not angry, but one by one they were overjoyed.
This sound of 'emptiness' contains the realization of the Dharma, and the monk with high understanding actually has a trace of enlightenment, and his cultivation has also improved in an instant.
In particular, some monks who were trapped in the bottleneck broke through the bottleneck in an instant.
For a while, there was a strange phenomenon in Tianjing Temple, all the monks put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands, and invariably comprehended Buddhism on the spot.
The abbot and several elders put their hands together at the same time and chanted the Buddha's name, their cultivation was far higher than the Xuan Ku, and their understanding of the Dharma was far from being comparable to the Xuan Ku, so the 'emptiness' of the Xuan Ku did not have much meaning to them.
"Amitabha. The abbot looked in the direction of Xuan Ku, and his face showed a hint of relief.
Buddha cultivation, the day after tomorrow.
Xuan Ku didn't expect that his cultivation had improved so fast, and after the Buddha's cultivation surpassed that of the Great Demon Sutra, his whole person was like being reborn, his whole body was indescribably comfortable, and his heart had never been so calm.
