Chapter 10: Cultivating the Mind
The sound of rain falling on the roof woke Weiyang from his coma.
Unexpectedly, there was no painful feeling in the body, but a sense of relief that had not been felt for a long time.
"You're awake."
A sentence woke her up from a slight confusion.
She looked confusedly at the source of the voice, and a girl with beautiful long red hair knelt beside her, seemingly guarding her until she woke up.
"Where is this?" Weiyang's voice is clear and quiet, with a sense of tranquility that makes people feel calm.
A hint of surprise flashed in Apricot's eyes, and it was hard to imagine that this girl would be the one who did that kind of work.
"I'm an apprentice of the Green Medicine Workshop, and a girl named Ah Shi found us and asked us to save you." Kyoko explained.
"Ashi?" Weiyang's face showed a hint of worry, "May I ask Ah Shi and her?" ”
"If there is a problem with medical expenses, please don't embarrass her, I will definitely find a way to pay back the money as soon as possible."
She sat up from the bed with some excitement.
Apricot held her down and soothed, "Don't worry, the master has already spoken, and he will treat you for free, and he won't charge you money." ”
"Your injuries have not fully recovered, you need to rest well, you can't move, as for the little girl named Ah Shi, after knowing that your injuries have recovered, she has rushed back to your village."
Apricot's words made Weiyang calm down a little, and she showed a trace of gratitude and apology for the non-collection of money in Apricot's mouth, "For your kindness, the little woman is toothless and unforgettable." ”
Knock knock!
There was a soft knock at the door.
"Apricot, is that kid awake?" A man's gentle voice came from outside the house.
Hearing the man's voice, Weiyang's body trembled subconsciously, and he subconsciously hugged his arms.
"Master, I've woken up."
Apricot got up and opened the door, and Weiyang saw a gentle young monk in a white single robe walk in.
Bai Ming just stood at the door, did not walk in, he glanced at Weiyang's complexion, "It seems that the recovery is okay, but I still have to take medicine for a while to recuperate my body." ”
"You're a nice boy, come with us if you want."
Bai Ming's sense of consciousness knows that girls are faintly repulsive to themselves or men, and the reason for this situation is not difficult to guess, but it is not just to survive for himself, but in this suffering world, use his body to let more children who are orphaned like himself live.
This kindness is enough to make Bai Ming look sideways.
Nodding slightly at Weiyang, Bai Ming left the room, and Apricot would do the follow-up explanation.
I spent the night in a small village again, and when I returned to my room, the smell of haze and damp mold was permeating.
Bai Ming waved his sleeves, the wind rose in the room out of thin air, the turbid smell was carried out of the room by the rising wind, it was much cleaner, he sat cross-legged on the straw mat in the room, slowly turned the prayer beads, recited the scriptures, and became more and more like a monk.
It's not that he's really addicted, it's really completely addicted to the identity of a monk.
For him, the identity of a monk is just an identity derived from him in order to form a force in the face.
This identity is like a game skin, and you can get a certain bonus during the missionary process by using this identity, but after all, it is a skin that comes with it later, and it can be loaded and unloaded.
The reason why the disguised monks are becoming more and more presentable is also to sharpen their minds.
In the various transcendent systems of the Oriental system, whether it is martial arts, Xianxia side, Xiuzhen side, etc., most of them will mention a concept, the heart.
It is not a superficial sense of the human organs, but in a broader sense, the spiritual, mental consciousness, mind, will, etc., can also be a little more nihilistic, some kind of statement that is summarized as 'realm'.
However, most of the definition of the mind is unique to those who are in the Oriental culture in the transcendent system.
Bai Ming has his own understanding of his own exclusive martial arts side system, perhaps because the martial arts he inherited at the beginning were relatively shallow second- and third-rate levels, and his understanding of the exercises of the martial arts side system has become a tool for the evolution and sublimation of the human body.
This kind of understanding is actually true, and he also understands it this way after being innate, but after being born with the further sublimation of spiritual consciousness and the awakening of divine consciousness, his perception of himself has also gone further, and he gradually attaches importance to spiritual cultivation.
One aspect of spiritual practice is the nature of the mind, and a person's nature is composed of innate factors and acquired factors, and the innate factors are often difficult to change, but it is not predestined.
After all, human beings are not creatures that are completely manipulated by hormone secretion.
The importance of the mind is reflected in the fact that it is self-sustaining, that is, self-knowledge.
To explain, it is better to use an idiom 'virtue is not worthy'.
The topic is remote, and I have also said that Bai Ming is just a fake monk, killing, letting go, greedy for money, lustful, he has committed the great precept of killing, he has all the desires that people often have, and he has not received the ordination, nor has he sincerely sworn to take refuge in the Three Jewels, and he is even a wild fox Zen if he breaks the sky.
And this wild fox Zen, driven by some kind of interest, disguised himself as a monk in his mind according to his own ideas, and after seriously entering the play, reciting scriptures, fasting, and acting with compassion, but after a period of time, he faintly realized that his own mind, or his mind, tended to be more calm and mellow.
Judging from Bai Ming's insight and understanding, this should be the 'abiding by the rules' to restrain the mind and the impermanence of the world by 'entering the WTO', so that there is this kind of spiritual improvement.
Although the mind is empty, it is also like a stubborn stone, and 'abiding by the rules' and 'entering the WTO' is the most common way to polish the mind.
At the same time, when Bai Ming felt that his mental nature had improved, he also noticed that his divine consciousness was also slowly growing.
If Qi training is the evolution of the body, then the cultivation of the mind is the evolution of the spirit.
After reading a scripture silently, Bai Ming opened his eyes, and a trace of irritability flashed in his eyes.
"This role has become more and more influential on me."
If he founded the White Lotus Sect to better brainwash others, then now he is a little too deeply involved in the play, and in turn he is affected.
Especially in the three months after leaving Yunin Village, because he lived with his peers, he played more and more deeply, resulting in although he improved a lot in his soul, but invisibly, in turn, he was really affected by the surrounding atmosphere and the scriptures of Buddhism, which is actually normal, after all, since ancient times, religion has been the best at brainwashing the people.
It's just that I've brainwashed myself as the founder, which is a little ridiculous.
If it weren't for Bai Ming's habitual self-reflection, he wouldn't have found that he actually began to really identify with his disguised identity, and had the idea of giving up everything and concentrating on saving the world.
Although it was only occasional, it was enough to make Bai Ming vigilant.
It's just that by now, it's a bit difficult to ride a tiger.
Unless he is willing to give up his influence in the White Lotus Sect.
