Chapter 95: Forgetting the Dharma Sutra
"Heart Devouring Gu!" Lichen's brows furrowed. His gaze crossed over the Zen Master of Silence and fell on the monk Ligen.
At this moment, where is there still the demeanor of the former chief of the Three Treasures Zen Temple. His hands were down, his face was expressionless, his eyes were not angry, and his whole person was like a walking corpse.
"Why did you come at this time?" Lichen sighed lightly, and immediately pinched a rosary, and the next moment, a splash appeared in the rosary, and there was a swimming fish in it.
It was the red pig he subdued by the Miluo River. The red squid specializes in eating Gu insects and the like, and as soon as it appears at this moment, it swims to the head of the departure.
I saw it churn in the void, and the splash around it pasted on the face of the changer.
Wave ~ fish kiss gently brushed, and then a bubble spit out. And Li Geng's eyes suddenly widened, and wisps of black gas appeared on his head.
The black gas seemed to want to run out, but it was enveloped by the bubbles and could not move. After about a few breaths, Ligen's face suddenly became a little more agile, and the whole person fell into the arms of the Silent Zen Master as if his bones had been removed.
And all the black qi in his head condensed into a ball, as if it were substance. All of them were covered by bubbles, vaguely the shadow of a bug.
The bug rushed left and right, as if it was about to burst out of the bubble, but every time it moved, it was finally bounced back by the bubble.
Silence put the separation away, staring at the Gu worm in mid-air, his face full of surprise: "This is the true form of the Heart Devouring Gu!" Lichen nodded: "Not bad." ”
"The Heart-devouring Gu devours people's hearts and brains, and cripples people's minds."
"I don't know if Senior Brother Ligen has hurt the foundation." His eyes did not move, but there was a little worry in his heart.
Judging from the appearance of the departure just now, most of them have been pondered by the Heart Devouring Gu. When the Zen Master of Silence heard this, he just pronounced a Buddha call: "Amitabha." ”
"Fortunately, thanks to the Buddha's help, his life was finally saved." Thinking of this, the great monk couldn't help but sigh softly.
Since he was a child, he entered the Killing Temple and worshiped under the seat of the Zen Master of Silence. It's like a lonely Zen master and an outrageous monk.
The Zen Master of Silence sees Li as more of a disciple and more like a father and son. Family affection is better than mentoring and apprenticeship. If it is said that Ligen has become like this, the Zen Master of Silence is the last thing he wants to see.
After the tea effort, the monk woke up slowly. It's just that his gaze swept over the two people in front of him, and he said stupidly: "Who are you?" After speaking, he sat up from the arms of the Zen Master of Silence in a daze.
The Zen Master of Silence and Lichen glanced at each other, and couldn't help but secretly say in their hearts: Sure enough, it has hurt their minds.
"Amitabha."
"Leave, do you know the old man?"
"Leave?" Li Geng frowned, a pair of eyes looked up and down the big monk in front of him, and after a while, he opened his mouth and was about to speak, but suddenly his head hurt, and he hurriedly hugged his bald head with both hands.
"Ahh A miserable scream came, and the monk of silence hurriedly crossed a wisp of true qi when he saw this, and then calmed him back to sleep.
"Amitabha."
"Everything is cause and effect." The Zen Master of Silence sighed lightly, but Lichen's eyes suddenly lit up: "Uncle, don't be sad." ”
"Although Senior Brother Ligen has lost his memory, maybe it is a blessing in disguise, but I don't know."
"What did the Buddha say?" Lichen explained: "My Buddhist disciples practice, what they cultivate is the afterlife, and what they cut is the past. ”
"Senior brother has amnesia, but he happens to get one of the samadhi, which reminds the little monk of a peerless study in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion that has not been cultivated for a long time."
"Oh? Please also ask the Buddha to show it. "The Zen Master of Silence knows that the Buddha has studied the Dharma intensively, is well-read and memorized, and knows the classics in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion well, and can get his guidance, and there may be a way out.
So Lichen explained: "Speaking of which, this peerless cultivation is extremely harsh, and it can only be practiced when the disciple reaches the state of selflessness. Hearing this, the monk suddenly realized: "What the Buddha said is the "Zen Sutra of Forgetting the Dharma" created by Patriarch Bodhidharma! Lichen nodded: "Yes, it's that magic skill." "The Zen Sutra of Forgetting the Dharma is an epiphany before the Nirvana of the Bodhidharma Patriarch, when he was enlightened.
Although it is not as good as the six paths of Dharma, it is also a rare Mahayana cultivation method of Zen Buddhism. If you practice it, you may not be able to preach the Tao.
But the monk of silence frowned: "That magic skill is extremely profound, but no one can understand it for thousands of years, not to mention that Lichen is already like this, I'm afraid it will ......" Lichen shook his head when he heard this: "Forget yourself, forget your worries, forget Hongchen." ”
"For the superior realm of my Buddhism, none of the disciples of the Killing Temple have been able to reach that level. That's why the book was hidden in the cabinet and covered with dust. ”
"On the other hand, Senior Brother Ligen, life and death in the world are all cut off in one thought, which happens to be in the realm of selflessness." When he was away from the dust and comprehended the "Maha Five Crossings", he once passed on the Tibetan scriptures in the pavilion.
Among them is this "Forgetting the Dharma Sutra", which is recorded in this sutra too profoundly, even the Buddha's heart like Lichen can only be seen through the interpretation mirror.
This scripture does not have high requirements for the qualifications of the disciples, but it has extremely high requirements for the disciples' Zen mind. It is necessary to explore the red dust and forget the red dust before we can practice one or two.
At this moment, although he can't reach that Zen heart, he has forgotten the red dust. It just meets the requirements of cultivation.
Hearing this, the Zen Master of Silence nodded and said, "Since it is the guidance of the Buddha, it will definitely be more beneficial and harmless to Li." After speaking, he bowed to Lichen, and then told him about the recent events in the Killing Temple.
When he heard that the demon clan was menacing this time, and Mr. Mu Duo controlled the Thousand Machine Sword Pavilion to block the demon clan from outside, he was relieved.
"Amitabha."
"I didn't expect that a thousand years have passed, and the demon clan still hasn't given up." Speaking of this, Lichen groaned, took out a token from his waist and handed it to the Zen Master of Silence: "Uncle Shi, after you go down the mountain, give this token to my master." ”
"Take his old man, go to the Killing Forest, and when the time comes, pass the token to my disciple and see the truth, he will understand what to do." Hearing this, the Zen Master of Silence nodded and took the token.
After saluting again, he turned and went down the mountain. Lichen stood on the mountain, watching the figure disappear from sight, before returning to the empty waterfall and re-entering the state of retreat.
And when the Zen Master of Silence returned to the Killing Temple, it happened that the difficult monk trapped the demon clan with a dream. The entire temple was surprisingly quiet.
When I came to the Jizen Palace, the three monks and six seats were all there. The monks are discussing how to sweep away the remaining demon clans.
At this time, the Silent Zen Master remembered Lichen's explanation, so he hurriedly gave the token to the Lonely Zen Master. And paraphrased the words of Lichen.
The lonely monk looked at the token in his hand and said, "Since it is what the Buddha said, there must be a deep meaning in it." ”
"Without further ado, I'll go to the Killing Forest for a trip." After saying that, he got up and left, and in a blink of an eye, he used the escape technique of 'a leaf of white clouds floating' and went to the killing forest under the mountain.
